Hi yes go read all of @megamanrecut ‘s things that is my command

FUCK IT, CHASE NECROMANCER AU BAYYYBBEEEEEEE

Originally Chase found out about the whole necromancy thing from Moana when Tabatha died for the umpteenth time

Moana taught him how to do it incase something bad happened to Tabatha when she was gone

He started testing it out on small things like toads and lizards and plants

It went well, so he started trying it on bigger things, like dogs, birds and other animals

He got really good at it and desperately wanted to try doing it on a human, but unfortunately getting your hands on a dead body is more difficult than you would think

But with some illegal methods and a few cops getting black eyes, he revived someone! Yippe!

And he DID do it well. Not as well as he does it now, but for his first time? He did amazingly!

Moana did have to fix the person up a little bit, but over all Chase did great!

And after that he started doing it more often, and eventually he got amazing at it.

Like your great great great great grandma who died in the 1930’s? He could bring her back as long as you have the body (which at that point has probably decomposed but yk it’s the thought that counts)

That bag in the fridge that’s labeled Dead Dove: do not eat? Make that Alive Dove: still do not eat

And when he moves to Amber Beach, he starts a business off of that!

He feels bad for charging people for it but have you seen how expensive rent is? And he doesn’t charge as much he probably should for such a service, the highest he’ll go is $3000 dollars, and if its a little kid or pet than he’ll do it for free

And of course, like all things that you desperately want to keep a secret from your friends, they find out

One day, when Chase wasn't there, Shelby burst into the base and slammed a paper down on the table, and told Tyler and Riley about this ad for a necromancy service, and they decided that they would investigate it

So they went to the cemetery (morphed to add intimidation factor) and saw a man digging up a grave

welp that's probably the guy

Shelby walked up to the man and tapped him on the shoulder

“Now what do you think you’re doing, Sir?”

The man replied, “Fuck off Shelby, I’m busy.”

“Chase? W-What the fuck are you doing?”

“Oh you know, just my job. Say, you wanna watch me revive this guy?”

“Wait, what? You can actually bring people back to life?”

“Well yeah, I wouldn’t offer the service if I couldn’t do it.”

“Uhm…sure then. Tyler and Riley are here too if you don’t mind them watching.”

“The more the merrier! Plus, now I get to show Riley magic.”

(chase and riley are dating btw. i didn’t know how to put that in sooner lmao)

After a bunch of revival bullshit and dealing with a very violent teenage girl everyone except Chase is pretty shaken up by the whole thing

And the fact that Chase is treating this so casually is not helping

Riley especially, because what do you even do with this information? Suddenly the dead can come back to life as if nothing happened and you just have to deal with that

And on top of all that you learn that your boyfriend has been doing this for months and hasn’t told anyone.

Riley was more concerned than angry since this wasn’t the most legal business and Chase could probably get in a lot of trouble for it

And also you know. Digging up corpses and seeing horribly mangled bodies every day probably isn’t good for the psyche

Plus not being afraid of death could possibly lead to some dangerous decisions (which it has and will)

So overall Riley is cautiously supportive while also wondering about the morals of bringing back the dead

Tyler is freaking out about it but in a “This is SO COOL DUDE!” way

And Shelby is also freaking out about it in the way you expect for someone to freak out about it

But in the end everyone is kinda on board with it at least a little bit

And they decide not to tell the other rangers because they don’t want Ivan to burn Chase at the steak because of witchcraft

And this is probably a bit much for Koda

And they don’t feel like dealing with Kendall

And there is more but this post is long as fuck so I might make another one about it

also if you want me to scream about this and other AU’s and just chiley in general to you directly feel free to dm me I need more friends

[tokillamockingbird427]

Yes, yes, Elias as adopted Dad for everyone

Anyway another random thought i had to this:

When Logan and Hesh join the Ghosts, they see that their dad also acts with the Ghosts like he does with them and being super confused about it and then just going by the premise of "dad has now completely lost it and the others just don't wanna say anything about it, because he's the leader", because even Merrick lets him do it, why would the Captain let him do it if not for that?

Until one day, they Ghosts all have to bunk in the same room, Hesh and Logan are up for some reason, be it they have watch or just couldn't sleep, but they hear one of the other Ghosts wake up from what most likely was a nightmare. They have half a mind to maybe go over when they hear the harsh breaths, but then the person stands up and moves over to Elias' bed, carefully waking him up. Elias wakes pretty disgruntled, but when he sees the Ghost next to his bed, quietly admitting they had a nightmare and can't let it go, Elias softens and nods.

Hesh and Logan then watch their dad go through all the steps he also did with them, when they would still go to their dad after a nightmare. Elias carefully leads them back to bed, even slightly tucking them in, sits on the side of it, strokes their hair (if they have it) while quietly telling them a silly story, til they fall back asleep, more relaxed. He stays for a few more minutes before heading back to bed himself.

Logan and Hesh in that moment realise, no the Ghosts don't just let him do all that, they actually enjoy and kinda encourage their dad, to dote on them, because in this shit that they sit in, it's just very nice to have someone care about you like that, or give you a little moment of relaxation. It makes them appreciate the Ghosts more, that they aren't scared to ask for that, but also their dad, that he does all this for all of them.

And maybe, just maybe, they start complaining less, when Elias is being overly dad-ing them.

-🐑(actual sign off this time, not just intro, if that ain't from someone already, i haven't seen it, but better to ask, i guess)

Yesssss, Elias Ultimate Dad lmao.

Love how their first conclusion is "He's gone senile and everyone's too polite to say anything." wheeeeeze. It's fair but c'mon boys, don't bully your father too badly.

That's literally such a cute scenario I adore it so much, but "strokes their hair (if they have it)" made me laugh so fuckin hard oh my god. "If they have it." *Stares at Merrick and Rorke*

I adore the idea that while Logan and Hesh are Elias's blood children they realize he's got a good number more that he's adopted in pretty much every way you can aside signing legal papers. They see him treating the Ghosts like he would them, with the Ghosts literally asking for it in some cases, and it gives them that outside POV that reminds them to appreciate it.

And if Elias's notices them complaining less about him being sappy+soft with them... he won't mention it. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

(That sign off works btw, rn there's "Pink anon" because they use pink text, the feller who uses a headphone emoji "🎧", and now sheep/lamb "🐑" which is you.)

Would love to read a part two to the Penguin fic It's Only Make Believe

It's Only Make Believe: Part 2

Farrell!Penguin x Female!Reader, word count: 700 part one here ok can i be very honest? i thought this was total shit garbage and yet you guys liked it and i feel so...touched, like the grinch when his heart grew big lmao so HERE YOU GO my sweet beans 💜 also i can keep going with this if there's demand, i didn't want to make this way longer than the first chapter! request info • prompt list • send me a request • kofi minors DNI!! 🔞 cw for nsfw stuff: angst, pining, lies, fake relationship

It was a mistake to tell the two of them. They were complete idiots after all, only useful to throw around as muscle and threats. Now, Oswald sat at his desk, head in hands, trying hard not to think about them accidentally bringing it up in conversation with her.

Hey the boss has got a crush on you. Yeah he’s just faking the marriage to get you to fall in love with him. Nah he told us himself! Oh yeah it’s a complete lie, ain’t no money in this for you.

“Hey, Mr. Cobblepot…or…Oswald? Or dear? I should come up with a pet name for you if we’re going to convince anyone that we’re married!”

You were never sure if it made him feel uncomfortable for you to reference the fact that you were now legally married, so you always tried to make a joke out of it. He never laughed though, but nerves kept you awkward.

“Ah, sweetheart you don’t gotta go to all that effort.”

“Nonsense! I said I’d help, and I’m nothing if not committed to the bit. How about…hmmm…well if I was really your wife, I think I’d probably call you Pengy, but that’s kinda dumb.”

He finally looked up from his work, slight smile on his face.

“No, I like that. Or…I mean…I could learn to tolerate that, if I was your husband that is.”

“But you are!”

Your warm smile brought one to his lips, not quite as open as yours, but at least he seemed to have perked up a bit.

“I suppose I should also probably get some work done too, though. Can’t get any special treatment just because I’m ‘sleeping with the boss’ huh?” You shot him a smile, trying to emphasise that you were joking, but his smile had faded. He cleared his throat, shuffling some papers on his desk as he avoided your gaze again.

“Yeah, you better do something at least.”

“Oh…Oz-Oswald-Mr. Cobblepot…I’m sorry if that was too…”

“Oh, it’s ok, it ain’t like that, sweetheart. I’ve just got a lot on my mind.”

You shuffled slowly over to his desk, perching on the edge across from him, hand resting on his forearm. He stared at it, following your wrist, your arm, up to your face, looking up at you with a strange emotion behind his eyes that you couldn’t quite place but would have sworn was something akin to deep lament.

“Tell me. I’m here for you. And not just as your pretend wife. As a friend.” You let your thumb draw across his jacket sleeve, back and forth, soothing him, hoping to get him to open up a bit.

“You know, Pengy.” He chuckled softly, leaning back in his chair, easing up slightly. “I’m so grateful for the opportunity, and for the job. I can’t even…it means a lot that you trust me. And…I’ve enjoyed getting to know you. You’re…different to how I thought you would be.”

“How so?”

“You’re sweeter.”

“Oh, you don’t know me well at all, sweetheart. I’m not sweet in the slightest. And to prove it, I’m gonna give you five seconds to get off this desk and start work on that pile of documents over there. Get to it.”

You rolled your eyes, sliding off the desk and walking over to collect the pile, moving to the door to leave for the desk in the hall where you were set up. But you stopped to turn to him.

“I think I do though know you well though. I don’t know…I thought someone so well-established, so charming and handsome might be completely full of himself, but you’re-”

“Handsome?”

You sat silently, looking at him, not sure what he wanted you to say in response.

“When was the last time you got those glasses checked?”

You giggled a little.

“You don’t think you’re handsome?”

“I absolutely do not. And forgive me, sweetheart, but I don’t believe for a second that you think so either.”

His self-effacing attitude was so endearing, such a sweet quality. It made him vulnerable, human. And as you left the office, you let your head stay around the door as you spoke, before disappearing off to get started on work.

“I wouldn’t have married you if I didn’t think you were, Mr. Cobblepot.”

[mists-reading-nook]

Apologies if you already got the first iteration of this ask, it turns out anons cannot insert links into asks.

Anyways, an AU of the Bodyswap au for funsies. Caps TW and this ask also assumed the Reader & Kaeya live in America since I myself am American sorry about that.

-----------------------

High schooler!Reader or even worse, a middle schooler.

Kaeya not only has to adjust to the learning curve of pretending to be someone else and new technology, but to the SCHOOL SYSTEM AS WELL.

If he wants to get a diploma that would really help him get some jobs or a quality college that graduating from could grant him more job opportunities, he has to swiftly learn subjects school teaches. Subjects Teyvat—and thus he—likely has a more archaic understanding of. Like: Science, math, computers which Teyvat didn't even have.

Also he's no longer an adult anymore so rip, he's a teenager who has to listen to his new parents lmao

I mean we can just make Reader an orphan instead to dodge that—

Reader meanwhile (who as a teen was possibly even MORE impulsive in choosing to fake Kaeya's death and return via the Abyss) is now an adult who cannot adult.

Thus begins the disaster of Reader teaching Kaeya how to Student and in turn being taught how to Adult by Kaeya, but also learning via the internet and by themselves because Kaeya doesn't know how to Earth!Adult, just Teyvat!Adult so rip.

Kaeya and Reader can bond while doing schoolwork

("You don't know the answer?!?!?!" "I'm ass at science as well! Since we're in this together, let me teach you how to use Google real quick.")

and maybe it ends up like that scene from Incredibles 2 with Reader as Dash and Kaeya as Bob.

("MATH IS MATH!" "Which means it's STUPID, here's how your supposed to solve this equation.")

Wait, if Reader has parents which are now Kaeya's, does this mean Reader has to rent out/buy a place to stay then? I can't imagine two parents allowing who they think is an incompetent stranger into their life, oof. Unless we make Reader an orphan thus making adopting Kaeya an option. . .

That could be a light novel title:

I Got Adopted By The Orphan Whose Life I Stole!

Akchuiebsiqgsushwj, Reader is Kaeya's legal guardian, he tried to start shit, but then Reader brings out the whole deck of cards:

("I'm the adult here!" "We swapped ages, I'm your legal guardian, I grew up here. Argument over.")

Anyways what would Kaeya enjoy about being a teenager? What would he hate about it? What would he like and dislike about being a school student? What subjects would he like or dislike, be good or bad at? Methinks he could excel in PE quickly or eventually given that he was a Knight once upon a time. How does Kaeya do in school in general?

Would he aquire a friend or two, or a whole friend group he'd hang out with? What would he do with them? Would he be a loner instead? What would he do if Reader had friends or had none prior to the bodyswap? What does Kaeya do in his free time? What is it like having a childhood again for him?

On the Reader's side, with Kaeya's muscle memory and body, but no papers to prove their legal existence, nor diploma from high school, or a full education, what jobs could they be hired at to get back on their feet?

What else would there be to this scenario?

Oh my gosh

It's pure chaos-

Kay,

- Kaeya cries bc the science here is technically more complex than the science in tevyat-

-Reader absolutely completely fumbles on faking Kaeyas death

-Lets pretend reader has parents for a moment-

-Thier parents do not let Reader live in thier house,so now thier kinda homeless while they look for a job-

-with orphan reader,its kinda like:

Reader just drops by the orphanage and somehow manages to adopt Kaeya

-this au is so chaotic,bc the living situation would be a LOT on top of all the other shit

-Kaeya HATES being a teenager,as he's someone who enjoys his freedom

-he can't drink,he has to have permission to go places,so he feels really trapped

-he does,however,enjoy the less responsibilities

-His favorite subjects are:

PE

Math

-Kaeya does pretty good overall!

-however,he kinda bombs the freind group

-mostly bc he doesn't get all the jokes and drama

-so he's mostly a loner

-on the subject of freetime,depending on how old readers body is,he probably gets a job,just to be busy again.

-That or he'd read

-Just like in the regular au,reader has to come up with an excuse to get some papers!

-except this time,their on their own.

-They'd probably get a minimum wage job while they try to get back on their feet

-Theres so much more,but it's in general chaos

-like all of the shit the duo had to go through before,they have to go through twice as bad

-plus,it actually takes a LOT longer to get to the point where they form a bond,as kaeyas new parents aren't fond of the idea of letting him hang out with a "crazy person"

-so yeah,it's chaos 😭

-honestly if the regular au is Angst and drama,this Au is comedy

-mostly bc of all the shenanigans that go on due to the age swap-

[we-are-inevitable]

Your ask box is my kingdom, I am taking it over

But anyway I so badly want your thoughts on Jack and Davey in my college prof au please please please I know I haven't spoken about it on tumblr yet except from a little bit but I love your Javid so yeah

-has watched high school musical thank you very much

ok ok @roideny obvi this is your au but here are my Very Important thoughts bc i love them Very Much ugh. in love w them

David Jacobs-Kelly:

44 years old, born in ‘79

Undergrad: majored in English, minored in Creative Writing

Masters: Poetics and Theory AdvC- NYU

Doctorate: English and American Literature, thesis is over gender and sexuality in Shakespeare

he’s been Dr. Jacobs-Kelly for about seventeen years by the time the story takes place!

as a prof, he teaches a comp class, an honors comp (Critical Analysis and Writing), and some creative writing/poetry courses! he’s a very busy man.

he meets Race, Albert, and Finch because they’re students in his comp class!

when he’s not teaching, he’s really involved in the local queer scene. i feel like he’s a staple at drag brunches and pride celebrations; he’s not a huge club fan anymore but he still loves being Involved. growing up during the aids crisis is traumatizing at the least, and im sure he lost a few friends, so he stays up to date in the queer stuff to sort of honor them.

he marries jack in 2011 when gay marriage is legalized in new york!

he’s a huge shakespeare fan, as seen by his phd studies. he has a hamlet-inspired tattoo because he’s gay

tbh he probably has a cat named after shakespeare (they have two cats im calling it now. shakespeare and bryan, name courtesy of jack)

he and jack don’t have any kids, but he’s a loving fun uncle for Les and Sarah’s respective kids!

Jack Jacobs-Kelly:

45 years old, born in ‘78

Undergrad: Studio Art! but he dropped out after a semester <33

he just decided that college wasn’t for him. why pay money for something he doesn’t need?

he goes straight into a set design apprenticeship that medda helps him get! medda is his adoptive mom, so he’s been around queer spaces and theatre since he was around 15. he loves it, it’s his home

that being said he probably sells his own paintings and maybe does mural work on the side, he likes to keep busy and is invested in the art scene, and he meets davey when davey moves to New York for his masters! he’s the reason davey stays in NYC <33

he’s very eccentric, and very much doesn’t give a fuck. he’s a black queer man- the universe already nerfed him, so why worry about anything else? i can see him being the really go-with-the-flow husband to davey’s more tight-strung academic vibe. they really balance each other out

again, they don’t have kids, but i feel like this jack is very much For The Youths? i can see him volunteering a lot, working for organizations that help troubled kids get into the arts— i feel like it’s his passion project that makes him feel better when davey is busy at the university all day. in another life he’s a foster parent, but he and davey just don’t have the lifestyle to foster, so he focuses his energy elsewhere!

whenever davey “adopts” some freshmen he’s always on board. he really hits it off with Albert!

not as involved in the queer scene as davey, but his career is literally in musical theatre set design, so even if he’s not in the queer scene he’s In The Queer Scene

i don’t wanna talk about him losing medda but i can see him eventually inheriting the theater!

he loves his nieces and nephews! he’s a big family guy

Extra Thoughts:

jack and davey are a pair. they rarely go anywhere outside of work without each other, and they’re so, SO in love.

jack pretty regularly comes to see Davey while he’s at work; he’ll bring him lunch to office hours and pop in to watch him lecture from time to time.

davey attends the opening night of every show jack works on <33

their apartment is always a mess LMAO. davey has papers and books everywhere, there’s paint on the floor, brushes all over the place— it’s what happens when you cross a tired academic and an adhd creative. shit happens.

they actually stay pretty hip and on-trend? idk how it happens but jack is rlly good with youth culture and davey is on top of gay culture so like. yeah they work.

over summers and breaks, they travel a lot! not anything crazy expensive— they love international travel, but they’re also a big fan of road trips and rental cars!

they are my FAVORITES and i love them so much

[sumarmz]

Thinking about the time I made pm manifestos for two of my teachers to see if they'd hypothetically vote me over rishi sunak but they wrre both wildly different and I got caught lying

More details under the read more thingy bc I want to say a lot lmao

BASICALLY YEAH

my history teachers in a one sided rivalry with English bc English is above history in this like online hw app wr use called gcsepod and she's all "I bet English is booking computer rooms and forcing them all to watch gcsepods all lesson" (in actuality me and my friends played like 700 English pods collectively one night bc I have the most pods watched but my history teacher praised this guy who barely does his homework bc he did it one time but ignored my efforts so revenge) also no one has glue sticks at my school fun

ANYWAYS when elections wrre going on I went to all my chill teachers and said 'would u rather vote me or rishi sunak" qnd all of them said me obviously EXCEPT TWO. MISS BURNS (history teacher) AND DR WOOD (English teacher who me and my friend harass daily but he also left so now I'm sad) and Miss Burns was like "Well I don't rlly like rishi sunak but I'll have to see ur manifesto" then Dr Wood was like "legally I can't say (racist)"

SO I DEVISED A PLAN (making a manifesto for each of them that was different)

For Miss Burns it was like "ban English from watching gcsepod" "tax the English department" "make William the new monarch" "declare Miss Burns the best history teacher"

For Dr Wood it was "force Dr Woods partner to let him keep snails" "give English more glue sticks" and stupid shit basically, the history one was more hostile towards English but the English one was just "Oh u mentioned this one time So now it's a law"

ANYWAYS I give miss burns manifesto BUT she goes to the head of English whose like in the classroom besides her for some reason and is like "Mr Ford look at this" and he just looks at me like :| but Miss Burns is very happy and I gain her vote

Next i give it to Dr Wood and he reads the snail one he starts laughing and is like "I need to tell Jess about this (his partner)" and he's like "can I keep this???" And me and my mate are proper giggling bc it's so stupid and then I'm like oh yeah I'm remaking the national anthem and he's like what is it and my mates been singing this song all day to wind me up so I pat them and I'm like "Ziggy will sing it they've been singing it all day" AND THEY ACTUALLY DO??? BUT then he's like "okay guys where should u be" and we're like erm it's lunch mate and he's like ok go to lunch and I'm like awh he's sick of us

I'm content with myself I'm like yeah I pulled it off I got two extra votes and it's sports day so I'm selling drinks bc yes BUT THEN miss burns walks up to me the interaction was like

MB: "hello"

Me: "what have I done now"

MB: "you've been deceitful that's what"

Me: "is this about the manifesto"

MB: "yes-"

*me laughing for a solid like two minutes while ppl get mad at me bc I'm not selling them ice lollies*

MB: "I went to the printer and found it was paper jammed so I went to look and I saw your manifesto, but for Dr Wood"

Me: *still laughing*

MB: "that is deceitful! That is lying! I feel betrayed! I had a little word with Dr Wood as well and he's not happy"

Me: "awh man"

And that's jt rlly then I speak to Dr Wood and he's with the head of English and we're talking about it and he's like "yk I was rlly happy to hear we're getting more gluesticks but I was less happy to hear that it was coming out of taxes from the English department" and I was like well I'm lying I'm omw to becoming a real politician

And yeah that's the story it was funnier irl

[vamptastic]

as my 18th birthday looms closer and changing my legal name is actually within reach ive been rethinking it a bit. right now i'm going with leonard yuri greenberg, which changes all 3 names.

leonard is actually originally from this steampunk text based choose your own adventure game, but i stuck with it because there are many men i look up to named leonard (mostly nimoy and cohen), it's pretty common for jewish men, and my birthname (victoria, i have like 50 followers and i doubt any of them are demented enough to care what it is) is also an antiquated, fairly rare victorian name that has a bunch of different nicknames.

my middle name from birth is an obscure italian name after my great grandmother, and i'm changing it to yuri instead. yuri is the birth name of my ultazeyde on my mom's side (the jewish side) and he changed his name to hugh around age 12 to assimilate better (parents were ukrainian + romanian jewish immigrants), but the judge made him keep yuri as a middle name. i think its very symbolic in a lot of ways, like that he had to change his name to fit in and i'm sort of doing the opposite, and it also still preserves a memory of a family member which is sort of what middle names are for in my family. i also just look up to him a lot and grew up hearing stories about him even though he died six months after i was born, and i think he'd generally be cool with me doing this if he was alive.

last name is also from my ultazeyde, changing it from my dad's last name which is irish. there's a lot of reasons here:

-my dads father was a terrible person and i don't feel any desire to carry on his legacy or whatever, but my ultazeyde was a cool guy and i don't mind carrying on THAT legacy

-i also generally am not in touch with my irish heritage or anything

-i AM in touch with my jewish heritage in that i was raised jewish, am very religious, and generally regard it as my ethnicity and people as well, so it'd be nice for my name to reflect that.

-my parents are probably getting divorced by this time next year and my mom is estranged from her birth parents and therefore will probably change hers to this as well

-it minimizes the ability to find information about my previous identity online, which is useful if i want to go stealth

-i like greenberg it's a nice name

however, i feel it'll be difficult to have my reasoning accepted for this name vs my first and middle name, especially as a freshly 18 year old, and getting my whole name change case rejected just for my last name would suck. also, while my mom gets it and also doesn't attach a ton of significance to last names my dad does and might get pissed over this, which i don't want to deal with. if he raises significant objections ill stick with the old one until i get married or have kids or whatever.

the first and middle name are getting changed no matter what, but i'm kind of wavering on if i want to go with leonard or not. the masculine versions of my birthname are fairly decent. victor i don't like because my childhood bully was named that and also i don't want people to think i named myself after an anime lmao. but vittore, victori/victore, vick, and victory are cool. main problem with them is the connection to my birth name potentially getting me deadnamed or making it easy to find my deadname, and the relative androgyny of these names compared to leonard.

i could also just pick a new name? leonard is good, but everybody always defaults to a more androgynous nickname of it and pronounces it wrong. that being said i am attached to it and it's pretty undeniably male on paper if not face to face. ive considered jack (jackie as a nickname cos i think it's sexy), joseph/yosef (favorite torah character), edward (was what i used as my like proto-trans male version of me name for a few months before actually asking people to call me a different name), friedrich, julian, asher, rashi (favorite historical figure), vincent, and a whole host of names based on trees and plants in the past.

my middle name i am pretty set on keeping as yuri. it achieves everything my birth name did except as a male version it's great. i might have made it my birth name if i had thought of it before i was already going by leonard, but people might assume i picked a japanese name (it is russian) and it's also a bit gender-neutral. the pronunciation is also difficult for people, it's oo-ree, not yew-ri. but i do feel like it doesn't match leonard super well idk.

i will probably stick with good ol leonard yuri greenberg it's just. hard to not doubt myself when i'm paying 400 dollars for this.

[xenya1111]

is it ok if grimm and the NRC staff also react to mc/yuu being a girl please?

The staff and Grim’s reactions to Yuu being a girl

Warnings: None, a bit of some tooth rotting fluff lmao, hope you enjoy @stoeolq !

Dire Crowley:

Honestly he’s the first one who knows your secret he just doesn’t care lmao

He’s such an irresponsible guardian like you CANNOT tell me this man couldn’t care less about your existence and this man is only putting up with you until he finds a way for you to go back home, even then this bitch is lazy as fuck and hasn’t even bothered finding a way home for you yet 💀

That is also why the other staff members have vowed to be your legal guardians (and I mean all the staff because it’s so bad to the point where all of them were like “we’re taking care of her now” since he’s so irresponsible) and also, they were used to Crowley being a disaster when it comes to taking responsibility for things, let alone his own students, so they already had a feeling they needed to take care of you. You being a girl just makes them more obligated to help you 😭

Thing is, one good thing (one tinyyy small thing) about Crowley is he would never admit it, but he’s honestly thrilled that you’re the only female student, since NRC has never had a female student in the past and you are an exception to that rule, but at the same time with the way he practically threw you into NRC, with no protection whatsoever, we can all collectively agree on one thing: this man SUCKS at being your legal guardian.

He’s by far the most ridiculous guardian you have, heck he’s so irresponsible when it comes to taking care of you that the other staff members literally had to step in and make sure you were okay, this man threw you into an only boys school without protection, he almost left on vacation during chapter 4 and almost left without giving you a good food supply for the winter, and when you literally got kidnapped instead of coming to your recuse he pretends he’s on voicemail & hangs up on you. Overall, I honestly think this bastard does not give a fuck whether you’re a girl or not I’m sorry 😭

Divus Crewel:

Probably the best father figure other than Trein, I feel like if you were a girl Crewel would always make sure your well fed, he’ll always make sure you slept well, if you’re not focused in class expect a mug of coffee to be placed on your desk, don’t ask him about it, it’s from him just drink it he does not like being put on the spot about spoiling you lmaooo

Crewel always gives you snacks in class, he personally tailors a female uniform for you, he definitely gets a soft spot for you but would never admit it lmaooo

Had to make all the other staff members stop teasing him since he said he would never have favorites but once you came to NRC he has a favorite & it’s you: and everyone has noticed 😭

After chapter 4 happened he always made sure, from then on out, that you knew if you ever needed to go somewhere on break you could always go to his home since he knew ramshackle dorm gets cold during the night.

Crewel spoils 👏🏼 you 👏🏼 rotten 👏🏼!! I just know that one this man gains a soft spot for you he will go all out when it comes to spoiling you. From the latest phone, since he had looked at the phone Crowley gave you and he told you it was a really cheap phone, and it barely had any data on it, to the latest clothes and shoes, you will be spoiled rotten from him, no complaints this man will take a liking to you and will see you as his own.

If you manage to actually bond with him and if he’s able to grow closer to you he’d definitely look into actually making himself your legal guardian. If he does grow close to you, he may or may not still be pondering over those adoption papers in his desk at his home but you don’t need to know about that!

I feel like Crewel would honestly do the best he could when it comes down to taking care of you. At the end of the day, he knows he’s not your actual guardian, and he knows you’re not his child, you’re someone else’s, but over time, somewhere deep inside of him knows he’d love to have you as his own even if you guys weren’t related by blood, he just gets so protective of you since to him, you’re like a puppy, all alone in this world and he must take care of you.

Also do not expect your grade to raise! Just because he cares about you doesn’t mean you can slack off in class and expect him to raise your grade just because! But if you’re struggling and he sees that you need help he’ll always offer tutoring after class, he wants you to succeed and he’ll make sure of it.

(Can y’all tell my favoritism is showing 😐😑😐)

Mozus Trein:

Probably the other best parental/guardian figure, honestly I feel we can all agree on the fact that Crewel and Trein are the best guardian figures out of all the staff, but with Trein, he’s raised two girls so he knows how to handle them

Honestly when he figured out you were a girl he also got a little bit protective since he knows how rude boys can be, they can also be really gross so he knew he had to do something to help you out

Once he saw how irresponsible Crowley was when it came down to making sure you had food and basic necessities, he immediately felt his fatherly instincts kick in and he always made sure you were well fed and if you needed help he also made sure you had access to tutoring

Trein honestly is just so disappointed with Crowley when he saw how he neglected his duties as your guardian, he could never imagine being like that to his own girls

Will never admit it but you remind him of his two girls and it warms his heart, it brings back good memories of when they first came into his life and he appreciates it

He honestly loves that you’re a girl, he definitely loves your personality and you’re easier to work with, when he eventually gains that soft spot for you he may even set up a little date with you and his girls so you could meet :)

Ashton Vargas:

Soccer mom. This man is a soccer mom no ands ifs or buts

When he finds out your a girl he’s honestly concerned with how you’ll do in an only boys school

Immediately looks at your muscles and would tell you that you are weak as hell and he’s gonna train the shit out of you so you can defend yourself

I honestly feel like he wouldn’t really care all that much? He would mostly want you to be safe at all times: hence why he wants you to build those muscles so you could punch anyone who even thinks of laying a finger on you

Overall, he’s the same as always, but expect him to become more protective of you since you’re a girl and all, he wants to make sure your always safe :)

Sam:

Honestly I’m pretty sure all of us can agree on one thing: he wouldn’t exactly be a parent or guardian, he would be that favorite uncle 🤣

But he’s one of those cool uncles you enjoy having, he always offers you part time jobs at his shop so you can earn fun money

He always gives you discounts and depending on how helpful you are in the shop he’ll even give you stuff for free, just make sure you do good and help out and heck he’ll even buy some stuff for you if you don’t have any money on you

He likes spoiling you, he doesn’t really care that your a girl, but the voices in his head tell him otherwise. He finds it fascinating with how you’ve been able to make it this far without anyones help. He’s definitely one of your biggest supporters, he likes you a lot :)

On special days like your birthday he’ll let you make one wish and if he doesn’t have it in his shop he’ll personally go out and buy whatever you want. He just wants you to have as much fun as you can before you go back, he also always makes sure you’re okay and he always makes sure you have basic necessities, since Crowley never does. Heck he’ll even supply some of those if Crewel and Trein couldn’t that month, he’ll step in and take over for them if things get too hectic without them

Overall, he tries not to get too excited about you being a girl, but he finds himself spoiling you constantly and he always finds himself looking forward to your visits to his shop after classes end

Grim:

I feel like Grim also probably already knows you’re a girl since you guys have been together since the beginning

When he first found out, I honestly feel like he wouldn’t really care all that much, all he would say is “now I’ve gotta protect my henchman from all these boys!” And then go and demand you to get him some tuna 💀

Even if grim always says doesn’t care, he definitely shows it in his own way. For example your menstrual cycle.

When grim senses that you get your cycle, he immediately goes and kneads your lower back & stomach and then proceeds to purr loudly

Grim always says he’s not a cat he’s a monster but I like to HC that he he still gets those cat instincts normal cats do, like purring when they know you don’t feel good, kneading when he’s happy.

And it is basically an instinctual thing for cats to do so i also HC if you were a girl I could definitely see him doing that to you when you get your cycle. Even though he says he’s not a cat he’s still got cat like tendencies.

If you get emotional on your cycle (same), he would sleep with you on your bed that night, and he will not stop purring until you fall asleep

Cats have healing frequencies with their purring, so I could definitely picture him doing the same thing normal cats do, and he’ll most likely always tell you it’s cause your his henchmen and he’s gotta take care of you lmaoo

Overall, he would most likely tell you that he doesn’t care if your a girl or a boy, you’re still his henchman, but if you look at the signs closely, you can definitely find that he cares, in the beginning he kept your secret, well, a secret (which is a miracle with how much of a blabber mouth he is), and he does love having you around, he does care, Grim is just too proud to admit it

Smoking Weed With Them

Summary: Sharing that zaza with the boys.

Content: weed, characters are 18, Todoroki, Bakugo, Midoriya, Shinso

W/C: 1.5k

A/N: Weed is illegal in Japan, don’t go to prison or get deported. For the sake of this fic it is legal. :)

Masterlist

Todoroki

🌿 It’s his first time smoking weed but he knows what it is because his brothers would smoke when they were home.

🌿 You let him light the blunt and take the first hit.

🌿 He uses his quirk to light it, one finger to a flame.

🌿 You make fun of him because he coughs a lot.

🌿 Definitely getting dubbed ‘baby lungs’.

🌿 Coughing activates his quirk a little and mini flames come out of his ear.

🌿 You ask him if he’s ok and if he wants water.

🌿 “I think it passed” and then proceeds to make an ice cube in his hand and pops it into his mouth.

🌿 He offers you one, which you laugh at but gladly accept.

🌿 Shoto asks a lot of questions when he is high.

🌿 “Are there people with weed related quirks?”

🌿 “Are they illegal in some countries?”

🌿 You ask, “Lmao Shoto, so you think they just don’t let those people in a country?”

🌿 “Idk but it sounds unfair, people can’t control their quirks.”

🌿 Shoto is so inquisitive 😭 but it's the oddest/deepest questions. And he still has a straight face while asking.

🌿 He’s the person who says things like, “If you get out of the shower clean, then how does your towel get dirty?”

🌿 If you guys are in a relationship then he gets super affectionate.

🌿 Shooting you heart eyes the entire time😍. Soft boy.

🌿 Always touching some part of you, whether that’s holding your hand, thigh or grabbing your shirt.

🌿 One time you guys were walking into his house after smoking and his dad asked what was up and he just flicked him off and kept walking, your hand in his.

🌿 You admitted to him it was shocking for you the way he treats his dad… but also how incredibly hot it was.

🌿 He’ll go with the flow. Whatever you want to do he’s down.

🌿 One time you asked him to freeze a large spot in the courtyard in front of his house, so you guys could go skating.

🌿 He held onto you most of the time so you wouldn’t fall.

🌿 Gets the munchies BAD.

🌿 He wants to go out to eat and then to the grocery store to get snacks for later.

🌿 While at the grocery store he asks if you are willing to cook something.

🌿 If not, he calls Fuyumi and asks her if she can and if she needs anything from the store.

🌿 After the first time he’s always prepared, water, snacks, ashtray, papers/blunts, anything you guys could need.

🌿 Moving forward he does prefer a bong.

Bakugo

🌿 Not his first time smoking, but he only smoked once or twice before because he didn’t want it to get in the way of training.

🌿 Surprisingly knows all of the etiquette.

🌿 So he fights you so he can be the one to roll because, “the first hit belongs to him”.

🌿 He messes up the first time and spills the weed.

🌿 When he does get it right the blunt is definitely wet from him slobbering over it but also from his sweat.

🌿 You end up re rolling the blunt because his is borderline a firework now.

🌿 Makes faces trying to hold in coughs, you’ll never catch him slipping.

🌿 Enforces the rules STRICTLY, especially if you guys are smoking with others.

🌿 “Pass the blunt sparky, stop babysitting!”

🌿 “I’m gonna ash the blunt on your head icyhot if you don’t ash it before you pass it!”

🌿 Complains about cotton mouth.

🌿 Looks like he wants to pick a fight with his own mouth.

🌿 He’ll either be stuck and talking all loud or he’ll be crazy energetic.

🌿 If he’s stuck be prepared to listen to him yell at you to get him food and water.

🌿 “Hurry up and make me something to eat L/N.”

🌿 “Or what?” Knowing good and well he’s not gonna move from his spot on the couch.

🌿 “Just wait til this wears off and I’ll show you!”

🌿 You laugh at him a lot more, only adding fuel to the flame that is Bakugo

🌿 If he’s energetic he’ll force you to workout or spar with him.

🌿 You always half ass it and end up cheering him on instead from the sidelines.

🌿 “Wooo go Bakugo!”

🌿 You groan, “on your 346th push up.” He’s been at this for hours 🥴.

🌿 He’s more open to trying new things when high.

🌿 Convinced him to go to an escape room with you and some of the others.

🌿 He was determined to get it done first.

🌿 “Bakugo you know we’re all on one team right?”

🌿 “As if I’d let you losers drag me down.”

🌿 Even though he was the one missing out on hella details.

🌿 He gets pretty forgetful when high.

🌿 If you guys are together, after a sesh, he’ll drag you somewhere so y’all can cuddle.

🌿 And then he falls asleep super fast and he’s a deep sleeper after smoking.

🌿 Good luck getting him off you.

🌿 Might as well be moving a rock.

🌿 Moving forward he insists you let him buy your weed so he knows it’s always quality. 🥺

🌿 He prefers blunts and pipes.

Midoriya

🌿 Hasn’t smoked before, kinda nervous but determined.

🌿 Did his research beforehand.

🌿 Wrote down notes on different strains and his thoughts on Indica vs Sativa.

🌿 Double checks the blunt after you roll it.

🌿 “What are you doing Midoriya?”

🌿 “I saw online that you have to check if it's sealed or else it won’t smoke properly.”

🌿 Like thanks but also my shit is flawless 😭.

🌿 He also coughs a lot, ‘baby lungs #2’.

🌿 You get Mina and Ochako to start calling him that.

🌿 Gets super faded after he’s done coughing.

🌿 Stuck like a mf but really good at having deep conversations.

🌿 You guys talk about heros, space, conspiracy theories.

🌿 Prone to letting secrets loose, I repeat, prone to loose lips.

🌿 Let’s hope they aren’t yours.

🌿 But you did find out that Bakugo used to wear the same pair of All Might underwear for days on end in middle school.

🌿 Gets very giggly.

🌿 I mean ‘laugh at everything and nothing’ giggly.

🌿 Try not to get caught up in it because once you start laughing while high it’s very hard to stop.

🌿 He tries to put his hand over his mouth to stop himself but it doesn’t work.

🌿 One time, you guys passed Togata on the way back to the dorm.

🌿 “What’s so funny guys?”

🌿 You guys laugh even harder.

🌿 “I wanna know.”

🌿 You guys are crying at this point and you start doing the ‘black people can’t stay still while laughing’ laugh.

🌿 Togata leaves confused and kinda sad but there really was no joke you guys were just high.

🌿 If you’re gonna get caught smoking at school, it’ll probably be because of him.

🌿 He doesn’t know how to be discreet and claims his conscience gets the best of him.

🌿 If you guys are together he’ll be flustered the whole time.

🌿 He won’t stop complimenting you and telling you the things he likes about you.

🌿 Starts writing things down in his notes even.

🌿 He prefers edibles.

Shinso

🌿 Smokes frequently.

🌿 Great at rolling.

🌿 Really good at doing tricks.

🌿 Even teaches you how to do some.

🌿 You guys would definitely be shotgunning.

🌿 With Midoriya you have to serve as a chaperone, with Shinso you let loose to the point where he becomes a chaperone.

🌿 Especially because you try to keep up with him.

🌿 More often than not, you’re not gonna out smoke him, you just end up faded asf. 🔴👄🔴

🌿 Really chill, all around great vibes.

🌿 You guys make a playlist together for when you smoke.

🌿 He talks about how music feels so good when high.

🌿 You guys like to people watch while smoking.

🌿 He’s super creative and sassy with it.

🌿 “That guy looks like he caught his wife with the bank teller.”

🌿 Lmaoo Shinso.

🌿 He’s the type to ask if you want to smoke before and after every function.

🌿 Invited to a birthday party? Let’s smoke.

🌿 Going to the store? Let’s smoke.

🌿 Studying for a test? Let’s smoke.

🌿 Will definitely ask you on a late night walk to go smoke and look at the stars.

🌿 If you guys are together he’s more communicative of his needs and wants.

🌿 Not scared to ask for compliments/words of affirmation.

🌿 Quick to ask if you’ll massage his head.

🌿 Smoking helps him sleep.

🌿 His presence is so serene, so if he falls asleep chances are, you will too.

🌿 Likes to watch funny videos when high.

🌿 You guys watch Tiktoks and scroll through Twitter together, laughing like crazy.

🌿 Example

🌿 You guys will be sitting together in silence doing your own thing, whole time he’s sending you memes and recs.

🌿 He’ll continue to send you memes even after you’ve left each other.

🌿 Prefers joints.

🌿 Don’t steal his lighter he will use his quirk on you to get it back.

Imagine “adopting” Luke. How would the obey me boys act around MC unironically calling Luke their son? Like MC just calls Luke their son or something.

Idk I love Luke. He’s so precious 😭 I’ll gladly adopt him. Stay away y’all he’s my child now.

So, I really like this ask lmao, thanks for sending this in! I’m happy that I got my first ask out so quickly lmao. I just wanna say thanks again for sending it in. this was pretty fun, but I’m still working on how to write in a more legible way.

Lucifer

He’s so confused???

You do know he’s older than you, right???

Besides that, he ends up thinking it’s cute.

Would act like it’s a bother.

Would actually get pissed off if you try to move Luke into HOL

Mammon

Oh- wait, you’re Lukes parent???

WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL HIM YOU HAD A KID!?!?

Once he gets over the shock he starts trying to act like Luke’s dad.

Gets turned down

Sad Mammon hours.

Leviathan

ROFLLOLOLOLOL

He would think you’re a weird normie tho

He’s totally up for calling Luke your kid.

Wait, are those actual adoption papers??? MC???

Satan

Would think it's adorable

So the Chihuahua now has an actual parent now?

Would ask if you want any books on angel children and how to care for them 😭

Would also probably give you some of his old books to read to Luke.

He’s completely on board with this if it’ll make Lucifer mad.

Asmodeus

SQUEEEEEEEEE

He’s going to try to get you to do matching outfits

Takes photos of you interacting with Luke to post on Devilgram, he just thinks it’s adorable and perfect for it.

Would also jokingly start calling Luke his son

Would be sad when Luke got mad at him for it.

Beelzebub

??? Luke’s your son???

Mc, how old are you really?

When you tell him it’s a small joke and you call Luke your son bc you feel a parental love for him he kinda just swoons

We know he’s all about family so you saying Luke is like a son to you, he just wants to hug you both

Would ask Luke if he could take a fatherly role in his life

If Luke says yes, he’s happy. Completely being an overprotective parent tho

If Luke says no he’s a little sad but understands.

Belphegor

Doesn't really care

He kinda figured from how you treat him

After being bratty about it, he finds it kinda cute.

He’s just too tired to show emotion

If it were HIS child it would be another story.

“Remind me to react later, now take a nap with me”

Diavolo

Himbo will laugh so loudly.

Would just pet Luke’s head and congratulate him on the adoption

Would ask if you want to sign actual papers

Yes. Really.

Would have Simeon pull some strings so you could actually adopt Luke.

Please stop him before Luke is legally your child.

Barbatos

Luke already calls him dad sometimes, so why not finally have him get another parent?

Would bake a cake for all three of you

Would probably jokingly tell Simeon that he can be the other dad.

He’s probably going to take over a fatherly role even more

(I headcanon that if Barbatos got drunk he would go back in time to try and adopt Luke so you and he can actually be his parents)

Please don’t let him get drunk and then go back in time.

Simeon

Laughs wholeheartedly.

Much like Barbatos, already has a fatherly role for Luke

Would actually try to pull strings so you, him, and Barbatos could actually adopt Luke.

Another one where you have to stop him before Luke actually becomes your son.

Solomon

Jokingly makes a potion to make Luke look like you for a while so you feel the parental bond more

Teases luke 100%

Protect like from the teasing, please

This one would also try to make it possible for you to actually adopt Luke

Luke

He’s like really happy

Would start actually calling you mom/dad/dom(dad&mom mixed together)

He would be on board for you actually adopting him

Called Barbatos and Simeon dad already so why not add another parent into the mix?

Please, he loves you so much.

If he lets Beel also take place as a fatherly figure, he’ll be shy but also call him dad

Baby boy is happy

“Please actually adopt me!”

The Asshole on the Train

A/N: Had to write a fic with Levi as a lawyer because work has ruined me lmao. I tried to keep the legal jargon to a minimum! Enough to make it realistic but not so much that you don't know what's going on. But I'm also kinda obsessed with the public transit meet cute rn so I had to throw that in there too!!

Pairing: Lawyer!Levi x Fem!Reader

Summary: You're a legal assistant at one of the best firms in the city. Your assigned to a big case where you are co-counsel with another firm. When you meet the lawyer from the other firm, you realize you've met already. Many times in fact.

CW: fluff, corny rom com dialogue, enemies to friends to lovers, a lot of legal terms, swearing, alcohol, some proofreading but not much sorry, Hange uses they/them pronouns, reader uses she/her pronouns

Word Count: 5.1k

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

You slowly woke as you felt the sun hit your face. You stretched, rubbing the sleep from your eyes. Looking at your surroundings, you realized you had fallen asleep on your couch again. Which also meant you forgot to set an alarm. Again. You shot up from the couch, grabbing your phone from the coffee table to check the time.

“Fuck.” You had thirty minutes before you were officially late for work. You bolted to your room to throw some clothes on. You had just enough time to wash your face and brush your teeth. You’d have to forget about eating something.

This had been third night in a row where you had brought work home with you, stayed up way too late, and ended up falling asleep somewhere in your apartment that wasn’t your bed. Last time, you passed at your kitchen table.

Scrambling to collect all the papers you had sprawled out in your living room, you managed to get out of your apartment with all your things, with just enough time to catch the train if you ran. Luckily the train station wasn’t far.

You ran as fast as you could without letting papers fly everywhere. You made it to the platform as people were loading into a train. You managed to get on right before the doors closed, causing you to sigh in relief.

You took this moment to better organize the jumble of papers in your hands. You were too focused on the task at hand to remember how gravity works, so you were not holding onto anything as the train started to pull away from the station. You started to stumble and try to catch yourself from falling but you could tell it was too late.

A pair of arms grabbed you, stopping your fall. You gasped at the sudden touch.

“Oi,” a dry, annoyed voice said from above, “watch it.”

You looked up to see who had saved you from falling over. You couldn’t help but notice how handsome he was. His gunmetal irises glared down at you, causing a chill to run down your spine. You could tell he wasn’t tall, but from this angle he seemed to tower over you.

“Can you speak, idiot?”

“S-sorry,” you said, breaking away from his grasp. “Thank you.”

He rolled his eyes and scoffed quietly in response. You could feel your cheeks glowing red in embarrassment. Yes, you should’ve been more careful, but you also apologized and thanked him; he didn’t need to be rude about it. You stepped to the side, creating more space between you, hugging your work closely to your chest now.

You silently prayed that he would get off at a different stop than you, so that you could rid yourself of the embarrassment once and for all. By the suit he was wearing, he must have worked in an office, which caused you to worry that he’d be going downtown like you. As your stop came closer and closer, your anxiety heightened because he was still there.

The train pulled up to your stop and you rushed to the door, hoping to get off as soon as possible. Your heart sank as you saw that he started moving towards the door at the same time you, causing you to almost bump into each other.

He rolled his eyes again and stepped aside, extending his arm outward as if let you out first.

“Don’t need you tripping behind me and knocking me over.”

If it was possible for your face to get any redder, it was happening now. The doors slide open, and you bolted out of the train.

Entering the office, you couldn’t help but feel miserable. Your whole day had been thrown off and it had barely even started.

You sat at your desk and huffed as you finally let the papers you had been clutching to your person disperse in front of you.

“You cut it close today,” a voice in front of you said. You looked up to see Sasha, the front desk agent, and your best friend, holding two cups of coffee in front of you. She handed one of them to you and you gladly took the offer. The warm mug in your hands almost soothed the negative energy that hung heavy over you.

“I know,” you sighed. “I brought some work home with me and got carried away again.”

You worked at Zoë & Smith, one of the best litigation firms in the city. You felt lucky to have landed a job as a legal assistant there. It’s why you’d been working your ass off so much, bringing work home and taking on more projects. You wanted to prove that you were meant to be there, although it didn’t seem necessary. Everyone respected you and took you seriously, especially the partners. But still you couldn’t help but want to impress them.

“Again?” Sasha furrowed her brows at you. “You need to slow down before you hurt yourself.”

“C’mon, Sasha, it’s not that bad—”

“No, I’m serious! You’re starting to work more than the attorneys. You should be more like Connie. He barely does anything.”

Connie’s head appeared from above his desk. “Am I supposed to take that as compliment or an insult?”

“I don’t mind working a little more, seriously. It’ll help prepare me for law school, plus the overtime is nice.”

“But you look so drained.”

“Oh, this glum look on my face is not because of work.” You rolled your eyes, remembering the rude encounter you had a mere moments ago.

Sasha and Connie titled their heads in curiosity, almost at the same time. It always freaked you out how in-synch they were. They could’ve been related.

“Bad date?” Sasha asked.

“No, some asshole on the train this morning soured my mood.”

“Was it really that bad?”

“Well, to be fair, I did nearly knock him over, but he was just unnecessarily mean about it.”

“Public transit is the worst,” Connie shook his head. “That’s why I bike.”

“I wouldn’t sweat it,” Sasha said. “It’s not like you’ll see him again.”

She was right. You shouldn’t let some stranger bring you down this much, because that’s all he was. A stranger. The odds of you running into him again any time soon were very small. You were able to lift your spirits after that and carry on with your day.

The next morning you rose more at ease. You remembered to set an alarm this time and made sure that you fell asleep in your bed rather than the couch. You had enough time to do your full morning routine before heading to the train station. You felt calm and collected, ready to start a new day. But when you walked onto the train you immediately made eye contact with the man who stopped you from falling yesterday, and suddenly all the “calm” and “collected” feelings you had dissipated.

“Well, if it isn’t the ballerina,” he said, his voice dripping in sarcasm.

You scowled at the snide nickname he had given you.

“Piss off, shrimp.”

You walked to the other end of the car before he could respond. You did not want to deal with this today. You specifically wanted today to be a good day. Maybe the shrimp comment was a low blow, but you couldn’t help it. You put your headphones in and tried your best to ignore his presence. You managed to make it through the rest of your commute without interacting with him.

“You’re not going to believe,” you said as you walked toward Sasha’s desk. She and Connie were filling out a crossword together. “I ran into him this morning!”

“The jerk from yesterday?” Sasha gasped.

“Yeah! He even called me a name. I didn’t engage though. I’m not letting this guy ruin my day again.”

“What did he call you?”

“Ballerina.”

Connie snorted, which caused you and Sasha to glare at him. “What? It’s a little funny.”

Sasha attempted to comfort you. “Well, maybe that’s the last time you’ll see—”

“Don’t finish that sentence,” you cut her off. “You’ll just jinx it.”

Despite your hopes, you saw him again the next morning. And the morning after that. And the morning after that. You couldn’t seem to get away from each other. He had become a part of your morning commute. No matter what train car you got onto, he was somehow there. It was starting to become freaky. You contemplated whether you were living in a simulation or if you were just cursed with bad luck. It didn’t help that he made comments every single morning he saw you. He got creative with them on a few occasions.

“Been practicing your pirouettes?”

You snapped back. “Did you Google ballet terms before you got on the train this morning?”

The next day it was, “So will you be performing Swan Lake or The Nutcracker for us this morning?”

“Did someone piss in your kid’s meal today?” you retorted, making sure to shove your shoulder against his as you walked past him.

You considered alternatives to guarantee you’d never see him again. You could get a bike, but you lived too far away to avoid not showing up covered in sweat if you chose to bike to work. Driving was out of the question. You were saving for law school and getting a car would blow your budget.

Were you really going to let a man dictate how you would get to work every day? That’s ridiculous, you thought. There was no way you could just ignore him. You needed to embrace that he was just another background character in your life.

But then one day it happened. You walked onto the train, holding your breath for the sound of his snarky voice, but it never came. He wasn’t on the train that day. Maybe you finally got lucky and picked different cars. Maybe he missed it entirely. Either way, you didn’t care. You felt relief rush through you as you carried on with your commute in peace.

You walked into work with a stride and a smile on your face, which Sasha immediately noticed.

“You look rather cheerful today.”

“For once, I didn’t see that asshole on the train today.”

“That’s a good sign!” Sasha cheered. “Today will be a good day for you, I’m sure of it.”

You smiled and hoped that she was right. You desperately needed to catch a break. As you two continued your routine catch up, Erwin Smith, one of the partners of the firm walked up to you. He greeted the two of you with a good morning and then turned to Sasha.

“One of the attorneys from Ackerman & Ackerman is coming in at noon. We’ll be meeting in my office, so direct him there once he comes in.”

Sasha nodded and smiled. Erwin turned to you next.

“Make sure our interrogatories are drafted before he gets here. Jean’s working on them, so bug him about it as much as you need to.” You nodded in response.

Erwin walked away, allowing you to reveal the confusion you had been hiding on your face. You looked to Sasha for help.

“Ackerman & Ackerman?”

“They’re our co-counsel for the Pyxis case,” she reminded you. It all clicked suddenly. You couldn’t believe you had forgotten about one of the most important cases at the firm.

“Right.” You glanced at the clock near Sasha’s desk. “Well, I should get to it then. I don’t have much time.”

You did your best to quickly get your daily tasks completed to give you more time to focus on the Pyxis case. You checked the clock to see it was 11:30, so you went to Jean’s office to see if the drafts were finished. It only took a little pestering it get him to finish and send them to you to print.

You walked by Sasha’s desk, freshly printed interrogatories in hand. She leaned forward as you passed her.

“He’s hot,” she whispered.

“Who?”

“The attorney! He got here a few minutes ago.”

“A few minutes ago?” You checked the clock again. 11:47 am. “It’s not even noon yet.”

She shrugged, which was no help to you. Erwin needed to see the drafts before the attorney showed up, and this just threw everything off. You made a beeline to Erwin’s office. The door was slightly open, so you knocked softly before letting yourself in.

Erwin sat at his desk, which faced the door. The mystery attorney sat with his back to you.

“Oh good,” Erwin said, seeing the papers in your hand. “I’ll take those.”

You walked closer to the desk to hand them over, and as you did, you were able to see more clearly who was sitting in the chair. Your stomach sank when you realized you recognized the man in the chair. You felt like your eyes were about to pop out of your head.

No fucking way, you thought. The asshole from the train was sitting in that chair.

He looked at you, and while he did not seem to react, you could tell he recognized you, too.

“This is Levi Ackerman,” Erwin introduced him. “He’ll be working with us on the Pyxis case. Levi, this [y/n], the legal assistant on the case. I’m sure you two will be working a lot together.”

Levi rose from his seat and stuck his hand out for you to shake. “Nice to meet you,” he said rather politely. Despite the urge building inside you to smack his hand away, you shook it. To your surprise, the skin of his hand was soft and cool. You were almost expecting it to feel like sandpaper, coarse like his personality.

“Likewise,” you said. “I look forward to working with you.” That was a lie. This was a literal nightmare. You wanted nothing more than to wake up in your apartment and realize you were just having a horrible dream.

“Well, since we’re all acquainted now,” Erwin interjected, “[y/n], why don’t you join us for the rest of the meeting? We’re discussing strategy since we have that discovery deadline coming up in a month.”

You nodded and took the seat next to Levi. You did your best to remain focused on Erwin’s words rather than the menacing presence that was sitting next to you. The meeting seemed to fly by and before you knew it, you were walking out of Erwin’s office. You made sure to be the first to leave the room. The sooner you were away from him, the better.

You saw Sasha by the copy room and sped walk towards her, pulling her to the side.

“It’s him,” you whispered.

“Who?”

“The attorney. He’s the asshole from the train.”

“No way,” Sasha gasped. You shushed her. The last thing you needed was more attention.

“I wish I was lying.”

Unlike you, Sasha seemed more amazed than panicked. “That’s crazy! Really, what are the odds? The man you see every morning suddenly shows up--”

“Yes, I’m aware that this circumstance is quite bizarre, but I frankly do not care. I am too focused on the fact that I now have to work with him most likely every day until this case settles.”

Sasha looked past you to Connie who was walking by. She beckoned him over with a whisper.

“Tell him what you told me.” She nudged you eagerly. You hated how excited she was by this.

“Levi Ackerman is the asshole from the train,” you repeated, this time more defeated.

“No way,” Connie said in almost the exact same tone as Sasha had earlier.

“Right?” Sasha giggled. “Isn’t it crazy?”

“This might be the beginning of your love story.” Connie wiggled his eyebrows at you.

You scoffed and shoved him lightly. “Oh, fuck off, that’s not funny.”

You made your way back to your desk, preparing yourself for the list of things you needed to do for the Pyxis case. Maybe if you just focused on the work at hand, Levi’s presence wouldn’t matter that much.

“Oi,” a familiar voice said. Speak of the devil. He was standing right in front of your desk.

“Listen,” he continued, “I don’t expect you to be nice to me while I’m here. I’m sure you want to get this over with as much as I do. So let’s just be civil for the time being. I’ll stay out of your way if you stay out of mine.”

“I’m not sure that’s possible since we’re working on the same case,” you said.

“You know what I mean, ballerina,” he scoffed.

He rolled his eyes when he saw your eyebrow arch at the remark. “Sorry, I mean [y/n].”

“Yeah, whatever, Mr. Ackerman.”

He grimaced and said, “I’d rather you call me Shrimp.”

This was going to be hell.

Three weeks had gone by since Levi Ackerman’s arrival to Zoë & Smith. Your run-ins with him on the train had been replaced with run-ins at the office. In the break room. The copy room. Erwin’s office. He was everywhere now. You agreed to be civil and, for the most part, you were. The occasional scoffs slipped from both of your lips when no one was around. You may have rolled your eyes once or twice when he wasn’t looking.

Your only saving grace was that the plaintiff’s counsel finally agreed to go to mediation, which meant that if everything goes well, Levi would be out of your hair in two months at most. You were currently composing exhibits for the mediation submission, the deadline for which was coming up in two weeks, when Hange Zoë, partner at the firm and head attorney on many of your cases, strolled up to your desk.

“Have you made any progress on the medical records we got for the Braun case last week?” Hange asked.

It took you a moment to realize what they were asking you. It clicked suddenly in your mind, and you could feel your stomach sink. You had completely forgotten about the medical records.

“No, I’m sorry, Hange. I’ve been so busy with the Pyxis case, that they slipped my mind. I’ll go through them now if you wan—”

“It’s ok,” they smiled. “You’ve got a lot on your plate right now, there’s no need to rush. If you get around to them, give me an update at the end of the week.”

You nodded and thanked them for their flexibility but couldn’t help but still feel guilty for not even taking a glance at the records since receiving them. You needed to give Hange something before Friday. And today was Wednesday, which meant you were definitely working overtime.

You decided that it would be easier to work late at the office rather than take your work home with you. If you accidentally fell asleep, at least this time you’d be on time for work.

Staring at your desk, you stifled a yawn as you continued to chronologically sort files. Your mind couldn’t help but wander as you blankly stared at the dates on the pages. You don’t know why, but you suddenly thought about him. Damn hot-shot lawyer, Levi Ackerman. You must have been the unluckiest person in the world. Just when you thought he was out of your hair, he showed up again. It didn’t help that everyone was so impressed by him. You would think he was humanity’s greatest attorney or something. All everyone seemed to talk about was how smart he was, how cool he was, how handsome he was. God, the comments about his looks were non-stop. His jet-black hair and matching eyes. His well-fitted suits. His jawline.

Your confused daydreaming distracted you enough to become careless with your sorting. Before you realized it, you had accidentally reverse-chronologized 50 pages of medical records. You cursed at yourself quietly, dreading the unnecessary extra work you had just made for yourself. You couldn’t look at your computer screen any longer. Your eyes wouldn’t stop tearing up from the blue light. If you were going to finish this tonight, you’d need caffeine.

You rose from your desk and lightly stretched before heading to the break room. It’s cruel how sore your body could become just from sitting all day. You inspected the coffee pot to find half a cup’s worth of 5-hour-old coffee. You briefly debated just reheating it but knew that you’d eventually have to make more coffee anyways, so it might as well be now. You dumped the sad, stale coffee in the sink and started making a fresh pot.

“Working late?”

The voice made you jump. Levi was sitting at the table in the center of the break room with a mug of tea in his hand, looking directly at you. How did you not notice that he was there?

“God, have you been sitting there the whole time?”

“Yes,” he said matter-of-factly.

“Well, learn to be less quiet.”

He smirked and sipped his tea. “Noted.”

You turned back to the coffee pot. “To answer your question, I am working for however long it takes me to chronologize and abstract these medical records. So quite late.”

He hummed in response. Silence followed. Only the sound of coffee brewing filled the break room.

“I’m sure you can guess what I’m here for,” he finally said.

“Using company time to get your divorce papers in order?”

He chuckled. He actually laughed at something you said. He must have been really tired.

“Well,” you continued, “if you need help on the mediation submission, let me know. I’m already here, so I might as well.”

“Thanks,” he said. You could detect a hint of confusion in his voice. He wasn’t the only one that was confused. You weren’t really sure why you were offering help.

The coffee finally finished brewing, so you poured yourself a cup. This was your opportunity to walk away, so you did.

Getting back to work was a lot easier once you had caffeine running in your bloodstream. You actually made significant progress in only an hour and a half. You decided this was a good place to stop, so you sent your work to the printer.

You walked into the copy room to find a very disgruntled Levi standing in front of the printer.

“Do you know how to work this thing?”

You chuckled. “The hot-shot lawyer doesn’t know how to work a printer.”

He rolled his eyes at you. “Are you going to help me or not?”

“Step aside, Ackerman,” you said as you walked toward the printer. “Let the expert handle this.”

You might despise Levi, but the printer was your number one enemy at the firm. You faced too many battles against that hunk of junk, some you left defeated, but you came out victorious in most. You opened the paper feeder on top of the printer to inspect the problem. Silence filled the room as you began conducting your trial-and-error process to fixing the printer.

You couldn’t handle the tension anymore. It was time to finally address the elephant in the room. “So, I haven’t seen you on train recently.”

“I got my car fixed.”

“Oh,” you said.

“That’s why I was taking the train those few weeks. My car broke down.”

“What, a flashy attorney like you can’t afford a nice car?”

“My car is nice,” he snapped. “Sure, it’s a little old, but it runs perfectly fine.”

You chuckled but couldn’t help but notice the feeling swelling in your stomach. Was it disappointment? It was odd that now you were almost expecting him to be on the train every morning, greeting you with glares and rude nicknames. You dismissed the feeling as you found the culprit to the printer issue, a jammed piece of paper. You pulled the jammed piece out and shut the top of the printer triumphantly, allowing it to continue its halted work.

“You’re welcome,” you smirked at Levi.

As you left the copy room, you could feel his eyes on you, but you didn’t dare look back to confirm if he was actually looking.

Once your records were printed and stamped, you gathered your things and made your way out of the office. You peaked into the break room to see Levi making more tea for himself.

“Go home,” he said, reading your mind. “I’ve got everything handled.”

“Ok, goodnight,” you muttered, walking away to hide the sudden blush that covered your face.

Work with Levi became much more bearable after that night. He was very polite and cooperative. He even joked with you at times. He still called you names and scoffed at you occasionally, but you found those gestures endearing at this point.

“So when’s the wedding?” Sasha asked one day.

“I would like the record to show that I did predict that this would happen, and I believe I should be compensated in some way for my psychic abilities,” Connie joined.

You rolled your eyes at the two morons. “Settle down you two. We’ve just come to an understanding.”

“If by ‘understanding’ you mean you two finally realized your bickering was just your weird way of flirting, then sure,” Connie said.

You tried to dismiss his comment, but your mind couldn’t help but linger on what he said. Were you two flirting? Sure, the name-calling and eye-rolling had become a lot more playful over the past few days, but you wouldn’t call it flirting. You were just being friendly. Right?

The day of mediation finally came. Levi met with Erwin at the office before going together to the mediator’s office. You had all the binders packed away in

“Wish us luck!” Erwin cheered, giving you a thumbs up as he strolled by your desk. Levi stared at him blankly from behind. He stopped at your desk before following Erwin.

“If all goes well, this will be the last time we see each other.”

“Let’s hope,” you smiled, crossing your fingers in front of you. He smirked at your teasing.

“So long, ballerina,” he said before walking away.

“So long, asshole,” you responded.

For the rest of the day you had trouble focusing on your work. You couldn’t help but wonder if the case settled or not. It was because you wanted to finally be done with case. That’s what you told yourself at least. There were two hours left in the workday when you finally got the call.

“We settled!” Erwin’s voice said on the other end of the line.

“Congrats on the win, Erwin,” you smiled. You meant it. Really, you did.

When you closed the Pyxis file, you were filled with relief and…what was it? Longing? You didn’t expect to feel this confused over a silly case. That’s what you told yourself at least. There were two hours left in the workday when you finally got the call.

“We settled!” Erwin’s voice said on the other end of the line.

“Congrats on the win, Erwin,” you smiled. You meant it. Really, you did.

When you closed the Pyxis file, you were filled with relief and…what was it? Longing? You didn’t expect to feel this confused over a silly case. You had gotten so used to the routine of seeing Levi everywhere that seeing him nowhere made it feel like something was missing. Like there was a snarky, annoying, Levi-shaped hole in your life. You knew from the beginning that Levi wasn’t always going to be around. He was temporary.

The next morning you started your day very low energy. You had to accept that life would go back to “normal” now, whether you liked it or not. You walked onto the train and your brain almost dismissed the man standing in front of you as just a hallucination. A mere subconscious desire manifested into an image of Levi standing in your train. But the mirage didn’t vanish when you blinked. Then you realized, it actually was Levi.

“Well, this is a surprise,” you smiled.

“Don’t get too excited,” he rolled his eyes. “My car broke down again, so I’m taking the train in the meantime.”

“You need to get a new car, Ackerman,” you snorted.

And just like that, the old routine was back. You saw him on the train every morning. He even started waiting for you outside of your work building so you could take the train together at the end of the day. “I have to make sure you don’t knock anyone over on your way home,” he teased.

You felt content, but you knew this was just another temporary situation. In a few days or a week, he would be back to driving to work and you would be alone again. So, one day you felt particularly brave and asked him if he wanted to get drinks after work. His normally stoic expression broke for a mere second to show his surprise. When his face returned to its original form, he shrugged and said, “We might as well.”

One drink is what you promised. But it was Friday, so one drink turned into two. And then three. And then four. The effects of the alcohol flushed both of your faces and softened the tension between you two. You were laughing rather hard at a surprisingly good joke he had told when you realized he was staring at you hard. Before you could ask if he was ok, he spoke.

“My car isn’t in the shop.”

“Oh, it’s working again?”

“No, it was never in the shop.”

You frowned. “What do you mean?”

“I lied. It was never in the shop. It’s been running fine.”

“So, you’ve been taking the train because…” You let your sentence trail off. You waited for him to fill the blanks.

“Because I didn’t know how else I would get to see you.”

You stared blankly at him as you processed his words. It felt like your brain was short-circuiting. The alcohol sure didn’t help. He couldn’t have possibly said what you thought he said. Or maybe he did say it, but you were just interpreting it differently.

Levi shifted uncomfortably as you continued to not say anything. His face became redder than it was before. You didn’t realize you had been silent for so long.

You started stammering to find words. “I—uh, I’m—w-well uh that’s um…Are you saying that—”

“I like you,” he interrupted. “A lot. And I would like to see you more outside of public transit. Because while I’m continuing to be honest, I have to tell you, I hate riding the train. It’s unbearable. It’s loud and it smells. There are always too many people, and no one knows how to—”

It was your turn to cut him off. But instead of speaking, you interrupted him with a kiss. His lips were frozen at the sudden touch, but quickly softened when he realized it was your lips he was feeling against his. The kiss was brief but gentle. You pulled away just enough to look into his dark eyes that now seemed to glimmer before you. You both smiled at each other knowingly before leaning in for another kiss.

“OH MY GOD!” a voice shouted from the other side of the bar. Your eyes flashed towards the sound to find Sasha and Connie staring at the two of you, jaws dropped to the floor.

“Before you ask,” Levi said, “this is exactly what it looks like.”

Eddie Munson x gn reader

Warning: alcohol, smoking weed, swearing

A/n: it isn’t exactly like the movie clueless because I watched it a while back and I forgot most of it already lmao. Way

Being the new student isn’t always easy or fun, everyone stares at you. Making you feel like an animal in a zoo, and you hated it. Even more now that you were older, high schoolers have a tendency to use words that eventually get stuck in your head. That later on lead to insecurities that make you wonder if that’s what everyone thinks of you.

You’ve lost count of how many times your family has moved but you knew it will be last that you will share with them. Soon you will be legal of age and later on, go to college, allowing you to for once, choose where to settle down. Aside from you not having many friends, you have been able to get along with the outcasts. Your choice of clothing wasn’t revealing or colorful. You simply wore what made you comfortable, the music you listen to isn’t that popular with other groups but it doesn’t bother you at all.

As you made your way to the school’s office, you felt eyes on you. Even if you were used to it, this time it felt different. It was as if they wanted you to turn and look at them. Yet when you looked around you, there wasn’t anyone looking in your direction. Everyone was in their own little world. With a shrug of your shoulders you continued your way over to the doors in front of you that had the words ‘main office’ written on top.

With a push of your hand, the door opened. Revealing middle aged lady’s working behind the counter with a couple of students walking by. So far you like Hawkins, it was small place. Meaning you wouldn’t have to travel a lot to get to a place, unlike the other cities you’ve lived in. Walking seems to be a better option for transportation.

“Good morning, my name is y/n l/n, I’m here to pick up my schedule.” You spoke with a smile.

The lady behind the counter simply lifted her index finger as she walked over to the phone that was ringing. You had no other option other than stand there awkwardly waiting for the phone call to be over. After a few minutes of her talking she cleared her throat and gave you an annoyed look.

“What do you need?” She asked after a few seconds of silence.

You tried your best to show any annoyance but your smile dropped a little “I’m uh, I’m here to pick up my schedule. My na-.”

As she looked over her computer she quickly typed before interrupting you “name?” She asked, rather rudely.

“Y/n, l/n” You answered a bit frustrated.

After that neither one of you said anything, she simply kept on typing before you heard the printer being used. You tapped your feet softly on the floor beneath your feet as you waited for her to walk back towards you and hand you the schedule. She walked back and took a sit before placing the paper on the counter for you to grab. Muttering a small ‘thank you’ to her, you grabbed the paper and walked back out.

You were too busy looking over your classes that you didn’t notice a person in front of you. Who was also distracted. Suddenly, your body collided with theirs, causing the papers they held in their hands to go flying.

A gasp escaped from you lips as you grabbed as many papers from the floor as you could.

“I-I’m so sorry, I was too busy looking over my schedule that I didn’t see you.” You explained yourself fast hoping the person will let you off the hook.

“I’m sorry too, I-I wasn’t paying attention.” A masculine voice spoke and as you looked up you felt a smile forming on your face. He was beautiful. “Cool shirt by the way.” He said as he pointed at it.

Forgetting what you were wearing you glanced down and realized it was an Iron Maiden shirt. “Oh, thanks. It’s actually my dad’s but he let me have it after he realized I liked their music.” You confessed sheepishly.

“Really? You know I… I haven’t met a many people who are into heavy metal music. I don’t think I’ve seen you around.” He said with a tilt of his head.

“It’s my first day actually and can I just say I love your shirt. W-what does it mean?” You asked as you fixed the strap of your backpack.

With a proud grin he stretched it out by the hem of his shirt. “Pretty neat huh, we made it ourselves.” He said.

“We?” You asked still confused as to what it meant.

“My club and I, we play dungeon’s and dragons every Thursday after school.” He was afraid you’ll probably react the same way everyone else does. Scared or take it as a joke but as he looked up he saw how genuinely interested you were in what he was saying.

“What’s dungeons and dragons?” You asked hoping to get more information.

“It’s this fantasy game and we all get to choose our own characters.” He answered as he let go of his shirt for it to fall back in place with a few wrinkles.

“Could you, show me how to play?” You asked slowly.

Eddie was taken aback by your question, if he thought that you were attractive before. You have definitely caught his attention now.

“Yeah I uh, I could teach you next Thursday when we play.” He said almost fast.

“I thought, you said you played every Thursday.” You said with a quirk of your eyebrow.

Eddie couldn’t help but blush, he’s not sure why either. “Well my club thinks I deserve to experience a party that’s happening that day. Something about enjoying my last year of high school… at least we hope I graduate this time.”

The bell rang, signaling the start of school. As much as you wanted to keep on talking to Eddie, you knew that your dad wouldn’t like you skipping class for a boy.

“I-I’ll see you later.” You said and got ready to walk over to your first class. Just as you took a few steps away from him, you heard his voice calling for you.

“Wait, I- I didn’t get your name.” He said as he cupped his hands around his mouth to make sure you heard him.

“It’s y/n.” Was all you said as you kept on walking.

—

The next few days you tried to get close to him but girls will come and kept bombarding you with questions. Regarding where you came from making conversation with them easy. There were times when someone would makes comments about your clothing. Yet you make sure to never give them the reaction they wish to get.

A girl named Tina came up to you which caused all conversation to stop. “You’re y/n, the new student. Right?” She asked once she was close to you.

“Yeah I am.” You said.

She crossed her arms while taking a look at you from head to toe and tilting her head. Confused, you also glanced down but weren’t sure what she was so fixated with.

“Did you get an invitation to my party?” She asked after a while.

“No…I didn’t.” You still weren’t sure what her issue was.

She uncrossed her arms and looked at the other two girls that stood beside her. They all gave a nod of their head before turning their gaze back towards you.

“Come to my locker after school and we’ll help you get ready for the party.” She attempted to say in a nice way but you were smart enough to know it was far from being nice.

Regardless you thought a party will be the best way to meet people and get wasted. Plus Eddie did say he’ll be there, this could be your chance to get to know him better.

“Okay, see you then.” You said with a smile and shrug of your shoulders.

As soon as the words left your mouth all conversation changed from talking about you to talking about one another. Regarding what they will wear and who they’ll try to impress.

—

It was now the end of school and you still hadn’t caught a glimpse of Eddie. It made you a bit sad but you’ll try to meet him at the party.

Once you reached Tina’s locker she turned towards you. “Do you have a ride?”

“No, my dad dropped me off and I’m supposed to walk home.” You answered.

With a nod of her head you and the two other girls followed her outside. The short redhead walked over to a black car that you presumed was hers. Judging how she headed to the drivers side.

“Wow, cool Aston!” You exclaimed as you reached for the handle.

“Excuse me?” She asked as she looked at Tina and the other girl who only shrugged their shoulders.

“Your car, it’s a Aston Martin V8 Zagato.” You said as if it was the most obvious thing.

They didn’t say anything as they all got in the car, you followed suit. Due to the way you dress and music you listen to, you’ve always had guy friends in your past schools. Which is why there some things you know more about than most girls, which include car models.

The drive to Tina’s house was filled with music and gossip. They would each take turns filling you in about their bit drama. You’ve heard of Billy, Steve, Jason and Tommy but not once did they mention Eddie. You wondered if maybe he was shy and kept to himself.

“What about Eddie?” You asked and as you did, Carol parked her car near Tina’s house.

They all shared a questioning look before looking at you. “Who?” They all asked.

“Yeah you know, Eddie. Long curly hair, listens to rock music and I think he mentioned something about his club playing a game.” You said as you tried to recall information about him as you could.

With a huff the girl sitting next to you said “oh, you mean Eddie ‘the freak’?” As soon as she said that she opened the door and got out. Followed by everyone else as well as you.

“How is he a freak?” You asked.

“Look y/n, it’s just best if you stay away from him. Ok? There are actual cute guys around Hawkins for you to crush on.” Carol said as she stood next to you.

“I don’t have a crush on him.” You chuckled almost nervously.

—

The party had started a while back and half of the school was there. Everyone seemed to be having a good time. Aside from the outrageous outfit Tina forced you to wear, you were also having fun. So far no sign of Eddie but you tried to not fret too much over it.

Just as you were about to pour yourself more alcohol, Tina came up to you and dragged you away.

“I was about to-.” You said as she kept on pulling your arm towards a small crowd.

“Steve is coming and the girls and I think he’ll be perfect for you. Here, pretend to have a conversation with someone else so he can notice you.” She rushed out her words as she stood in front of you while looking around for Steve. “Ok he’s here, I’ll go talk to him and try setting you up, when I tap my nose you’ll pretend to laugh. Got it?” Without waiting for a response she pushed you into a guy in front of you and left.

You weren’t able to balance yourself on time, luckily the guy in front of you caught you by your elbows to steady you. Even though you weren’t fully drunk, you felt your whole world shake.

“We really have to stop meeting like this.” He said chuckling, “are you okay?”

As you lifted your head towards him, you felt a lazy grin appear on your face. “I was starting to think you wouldn’t make it.”

“Well, here I am.” He said as he lifted his arms. “Do you want a drink?” He asked.

Feeling an intense look from someone you turned to someone that stood near the front door. Your eyes landed on those of Tina who tried to act casual while tapping her nose. Taking this as your cue you looked at Eddie who was waiting for an answer and without thinking, you let out a laugh.

He laughed too but it sounded more nervous than anything. With furrowed eyebrows he asked “wh-what’s so funny?”

You felt embarrassed and all you could do was give a brief raise of your arms in a shrugging motion. A few seconds later Tina came towards you while holding Steve’s arm.

“Y/n, there you are!” She exclaimed while looking between you and Eddie. “This is Steve, I’m sure the two of you will like to get to know one another.”

Once more she didn’t give you time to respond as Steve was guiding you to the kitchen island. Leaving a very confused Eddie behind.

“How are you liking the party so far?” He asked attempting to have a decent conversation with you.

“Oh it’s uh, it’s fun.” You tried to keep your gaze on him but you kept on looking for Eddie.

“I have to go use the bathroom, but I’ll be back okay?” He set his cup down and made his way around you.

“Okay” was your response, once more you began to look for Eddie. Once you saw him, you made your way over to him. He was leaning against the wall taking a drag from his blunt looking bored. As soon as his eyes landed on you he gave you a smile.

“Can I?” You pointed at his blunt.

He felt himself falling more and more for you. “Go for it.” He handed you his blunt as you took a drag before giving it back.

“Y/n, where’s Steve?” Tina’s voice came from your left and she looked almost annoyed at the scene in front of her.

Without meaning to, you accidentally exhaled the smoke on her face which caused her to grimace in disgust. “Oops, sorry.” You said sheepishly. “He went to the bathroom.”

She grabbed your hand and took you over to find him. You looked back at Eddie while mouthing a ‘sorry’ one which he just responded with a smile and a thumbs up.

“Look, he’s with Stacy. If you don’t act fast she’ll take him away from you.” She said while walking over to Steve.

Just as the two of you were about to reach him, something came flying your way and hit you on the head. Some gasps were heard when suddenly you felt someone pick you up. As you opened your eyes you noticed that it was Steve. He set you down on the kitchen island after Tina had cleared it out.

“If it’s a concussion, you have to keep them conscious, okay? Ask them questions.” Tina spoke as she looked at you over Steve’s shoulder.

As Steve placed a rag with ice on your forehead he looked down at you “what’s seven times seven?” He asked.

“Stuff they know!” Exclaimed Tina as if it was the stupidest question he could ask.

You got up from your position and stayed sitting on the kitchens island for a few more seconds.

“You alright y/n?” Steve asked while still holding the rag to your forehead.

“Yeah I, think I’ll just head home. This was really embarrassing.” You stood now next to him and you could see Tina’s eyes fill themselves with excitement.

“Steve, you could drive them home.” She said.

“Actually, I think I live closer to their house.” Eddie joined the conversation as he looked concerned. “What do you say y/n?”

Almost immediately you accepted. “Yeah, that’d be great. Thanks.”

Tina couldn’t help but glare at the back of Eddie’s head. Her plan won’t work if he keeps on trying to charm you. She’s almost sure that’s the cause for Steve now mingling back with Stacy.

random grishaverse facts/trivia (mostly tgt/kos, tbh), because i love useless details. Also, attempted organisation, because i like order too. + ft. my unwanted commentary

the darkling

has a sweet tooth

loves animals and nature in general

for those of you who have read demon in the woods, he got to meet the white tigers :)

his bedchamber walls are carved into trees bc he loves the woods

his favourite trees in particular are pine trees (or just evergreen trees in general)

he used to be afraid of the dark (many possibly worrying? interesting? implications to this; i won’t get into it here tho)

he likes bright colours, but wears black all the time basically for the aesthetic

he met his younger half-sister, Ulla, when he was a seer’s apprentice in Fjerda 

the darkling is a musician! He plays the fiddle, and growing up, he played the balalaika and oud (i wonder if he can read tablature,,) 

His father was a very powerful heartrender (maybe this is why the corporalki are valued so highly by him?)

genya

she got an amplifier between the end of R+R and the start of KoS (kestrel bones)

Genya used Dekora Nevich, the Ornamental Blade, to poison the King

It smells like cinnamon and is a warm golden colour

the royal family / nikolai’s bio family 

the King once cut himself on his own sword

genya named the queen’s dog 

until she was like 11, Genya was like the daughter the queen never had (omg i really wonder how Nikolai and Vasily felt about that? ik it’s not really mentioned, and Nik kinda acts like he just met Genya is S+S, but they must have been a lot closer, right?? I mean genya was almost always at the grand palace with Queen Tatiana, and nikolai just really wanted his parents’ attention, there must have been some kind of maybe one-sided jealousy/sibling rivalry thing, right?? I digress- for now)

also the queen in a dog person

p. sure Nikolai is a mommy’s boy

(possible explanation:) he looks exactly like his real father (except for his eyes). Nikolai even has the same laugh as Magnus

the queen was also fed up with Vasily and his horses

Vasily rides a white gelding horse and Nikolai rides a speckled grey horse (called Punchline)

speaking of, vasily is definitely a horse girl, but like... just the worst (darkling 🤝vasily)

Queen Tatiana’s letters to Magnus Opjer were “very racy” 

 She doesn’t approve of women in trousers

Linnea is ~1 year younger than Nikolai

she is good at math + studies engineering at ketterdam (I wonder if maybe she and Nikolai crossed paths when he was at uni- they’re around the same age, so maybe?)

The King and Queen hired a clown for nikolai’s 10th birthday (the worst birthday party he’d been to, inclusive of the night Vasily died, according to Nikolai)

Nikolai is afraid of spiders (and also clowns???)

nikolai:

he can juggle

Nikolai sucks at learning languages 

he once spoke Fjerdan so badly a man named Knut offered him a ruby to stop

his Kerch seems pretty good tho

Nikolai met The Darkling when he was 14

Nikolai is a baritone (as is Jesper!)

In his free time, Nikolai writes bad poetry (remember that time he got stabbed w/ a letter opener bc his poetry sucked?)

he went through an emo phase/ existential crisis before becoming sturmhond.

during said emo phase, he wrote rhyming poetry pretty much exclusively

He also took philosophy classes at uni (PPE?)

alina:

alina tried on the same rose dress that the Queen watched vasily die in

Nikolai gifted Alina a VERY low-cut cobalt lace gown (In the words of Nadia, “The bodice might as well be cut to the navel.” )

Alina hates herring, but Zoya and Nikolai love it

She is VERY sarcastic and snarky!! I feel like this gets glossed over so much in the fandom, and just why?? (she’s so gloomy and over everything 90% of the time, i love it so much)

So this isn’t technically a fact-fact, but there is no way Alina wasn’t at least a little bit into women. Did you read how she talked abt genya? Zoya? there’s no way she wasn’t into them

Alina doesn’t really like hard cheese

zoya + zoyalai:

Zoya’s horse is called Serebrine

Zoya can use her lightning as a defibrillator (I’m sure other squallers can do this too with the right training)

Zoya likes Nikolai’s hands (and Nikolai likes Zoya’s feet lmao)

she has ‘weird (long?) incisors’  

she definitely had a crush on Nikolai since Ruin and Rising

kaz:

Kaz grew up on a farm in Southern Kerch, in Lij

Kaz is a both a cat and a dog person  (he just likes strays)

Matthias is a dog person, obviously

All the other crows are cat people 

He likes hot chocolate

both he and nikolai like brandy

hates cereal

Kaz is obsessed with magic + likes puzzles

actually very funny if he wasn’t terrifying (honestly?? at leat 70% of his dialogue is just witty quips/jokes)

Kaz’s right leg is the one he broke, and the dregs usually get their tattoo on their right forearm

the other crows:

Jesper has been known to go line-dancing (and would like country music) 

Mal and Jesper were friends in S+S!! (Probably) Jesper has a not-really-secret crush on sturmhond. 

He also had a VERY not secret crush on Kaz before wylan, ofc

Matthias’ middle name is Benedik

Nina would win in an arm wrestling contest against Jesper

Inej has a thing for Kaz’s eyes

Nina was at the orphanage with the other grisha kids in R+R

In the opening scene of CK, Jesper was wearing a navy waistcoat with little gold stars (his fashion is just top tier honestly)

grisha- powers, etc.:

A solar eclipse would have no effect on the Darkling’s powers, but it would make it harder for Alina to summon.

Fabrikators can make flowers bloom

The twins have shark teeth amplifiers

Adrik and Leoni are saints

general world stuff:

Gay marriage is legal in Kerch!

there was a landbridge connecting Shu Han and Kerch but the council of tides covered it

Antimony is used as mascara

kruge is pale purple paper currency

ravkan currency has Nikolai’s face on it (ig not anymore tho?)

Hringkälla is celebrated on March 20th

the distance between Ivets and Os Alta is only about 100 miles? (i’m just going to willfully ignore this, because thats,, so small?)

Mermaids and dragons exist(ed) in the grishaverse

misc:

the daughter of the duke of ivets has a daughter who can play the harp

there is not fourth tale of krigi

The baroness Natasha Beritrova is fifty (as of KoS) and has lands near caryeva

Elke Marie Smit is from one of the most powerful Kerch families and is just 16 in KoS

Oncat is an orange tabby

Anya liked Joost a lot :( (I got way too attached to them at the start of SoC and was so sad + confused when they died lol)

david eats hard boiled eggs for his working days in the shops

‘Malyen’ is the Ravkan version of ‘Malcolm’ (very fitting)

Nikolai brought the kids at Keramzin toy boats + frequently sends Alina and Mal gifts 

The triumvirate would also visit them every feast of Sankt Nikolai too :)

star signs / birthdays (ik the gv constellations aren’t the same as ours, but idc):

Inej: Cancer (june 21st - july 22nd)

Kaz: Capricorn (december 22nd - january 19th)

Nina: Leo (july 23rd - august 22nd)

Jesper: Gemini (may 21st - june 20th)

Matthias: Taurus (april 20th - may 20th)

Wylan: virgo (august 23rd - september 22nd)

Kuwei: aries (march 21st - april 19th)

Darkling: aries

Nikolai is most likely either a gemini or cancer (but he could also be a Leo or Taurus). Whatever it is, he is a summer baby.

Alina and Mal have the same birthday (they were given the Duke’s birthday when they came to the orphanage)

heights:

Jesper is 6’2” - 6’3”

Kaz is 6′

Matthias is 6’4

Nina is 5’9”-5’10”

Inej is 5’3” - 5’4”

Alina is ’short’ (5’3”?)

Mal and the Darkling are ‘tall’ (tbf, like all the characters are tall >:( I want my short people rights)

Nikolai  (well, stumhond, but i think they’re the same height) is described by Jesper as tall (so 6’2”+?? why is everyone so tall??? I-)

Zoya is several inches shorter than nina (zoyalai height difference lets go)

Kuwei is slightly shorter than Wylan (who is about 5’8”?)

there’s definitely more, so if you made it this far and have any more, pls add to the list!

Single-Parent!Headcanons

Characters: Kirishima Eijirou, Kaminari Denki, and Bakugo Katsuki

A/N: Inspired by y’all. Enjoy <3

Warnings: fluff overload? one tiny curse word

Kirishima Eijirou:

the day his son was born was both the worst and best day of his life

his wife died upon delivery and he almost fainted when he heard the news, bakugo caught him before he could hit the floor

it took him 24 hours before he could gather the courage to go to the nursery and see his baby. he thought he wouldn’t be able to stomach the reminder of losing the love of his life

but when he held the small boy, who instantly nuzzled into his father’s chest, sighing with relief, kirishima was hooked for life

he just continued to hold his son into his chest and cry until he couldn’t anymore

from that day on, he swore he’d be the best parent he could be for his wife and his child’s sake

bc kiri is such a youthful and loving person, taking care of his son was easy, fun, and rewarding

ofc there were hard days, but it was all worth it when his baby would wake up with an adorable laugh, smiling up at him like he was his entire world

they’re two peas in a pod

he and his son are just the cutest pair

he takes his son everywhere, strapping him on his chest with a baby carrier

you bet your ass he’s taken him on (a safe) patrol around the block

kirishima is the kind of dad that puts his kid in a laundry basket, sits them in front of the tv, and acts out rollercoaster sounds

he lives for that loud laugh of his son’s

blows raspberries into the kid’s stomach whenever he starts getting cranky

his son’s first word was “manly” and kirishima spent the entire day bothering the bakusquad about it

everyone has 12 different copies of the video—y’know...just in case

when he takes his first steps, kiri’s swinging him around the house and giving him so many kisses on his chubby cheeks

when he saw his son had one spiky tooth growing in, he almost drowned from the cuteness

the kid gets himself into a lot of trouble tho. he’s always crawling towards the edge of something and putting his hand in things that could totally cut it off. kiri has a heart attack at least once a week

calls him, “son” “bud” and “buddy”

I hc that even though he’s lively around his dad, his son is very shy with new people and in new environments so school is kind of tough for him

but kirishima is always understanding of his troubles and tries his best to let him know that as long as he’s his son, he’ll always be his biggest supporter

if that doesn’t work, they go buy their fav meats and have a random bbq (kirishima just looks like the bbq dad™️ lmao). that always seems to do the trick

when his son enrolls in U.A., he’s there with a banner, his fav meat, and a bunch of tears when he sends him off

his son wears their matching crocs only to cheer up his dad. nothing else

aka he lowkey likes them but you didn’t hear that from me!

kirishima always has the urge to ft his kid, like, every hour. but he won’t bc he knows he’s busy training to be a hero

but he does send him uplifting snapchat videos from time to time

his son still wonders how in the world his dad even knows about snapchat

he makes sure nobody knows about this

when his son calls him about his insecurities, comparing himself to his classmates, kirishima is right there to lift him up. he also dealed with those same issues and tells his son that even on his worst days, he’s strong for just facing the day and he needs to believe in himself before others can believe in him

the next day, the bakusquad is watching the tournament together

kirishima has manly tears in his eyes as his little boy places second place in the sports festival

bakugo is threatening to kill him if he ruins his shirt

Kaminari Denki:

denki becomes a dad from adopting a pair of four year old twins (one boy, one girl) that were left homeless and without parents after a villain attack

he kinda knew the parents from hero work and felt it was an obligation to at least make sure their children were okay

he wasn’t planning on necessarily adopting them. he was young and inexperienced with children. how could someone like him raise a kid when he could barely raise himself?

but after two visits to the orphanage and seeing how miserable they looked, he couldn’t leave the building without signing the papers

the transition was awkward. the twins were not only traumatized, but distrusting and scared. they didn’t really know kaminari and now he was suddenly their adoptive parent

kaminari tried everything from ice cream, to late night movie snacks, to hide n seek to get them to relax but it wouldn’t work

he almost gave up hope, and thought maybe it was a better idea to take them back to the orphanage. but that was before the night he woke up to them crawling into his bed, scared from the thunder storm that rumbled on outside

kaminari froze, scared that he’d frighten them away with any sudden movement, but he soon relaxed and hugged them close to his chest when they snuggled into his sides. he sleeps with a peaceful mind that night

although, he’s awoken to them bawling their eyes out over the nightmares they had. he panics but takes comfort in how they still grip to his shirt, face in his chest, seeking his comfort

therapy becomes a regular thing after that

kaminari finds more focus in his life

and as those helpful sessions go on, kaminari finds the twins beginning to open up more and more

they all sleep together now bc cuddle piles always scare the bad dreams away

the boy starts asking for kaminari to help him pick out his outfits

and the girl starts asking him about his quirk

it’s small things like that that lead up to things like this:

they’re in the midst of playing tickle monster when they scream with laughter, “stop! stop, daddy, you caught us!”

the twins stare at him in confusion (and slight worry) when he scoops them up and cries like he broke his leg or something

they got two huge scoops of ice cream that night so they don’t question it

dad jokes are a must

he wears typical dad outfits like hawaiian shirts, cargo shorts, and flip flops

he calls them his “little rockstars” and yes, it’s still embarrassing

kaminari is a playful dad who doesn’t really take things too seriously

his children are always laughing at his dumb jokes and are never afraid to talk to him about anything that crosses their minds

although, they won’t talk to him about love interests bc he likes to play match maker

the last time his daughter told him about some girl she was crushing on, she found out she left her a personally signed chargebolt poster for the girl in her name

kaminari called it a little boost in spirit

her brother found it funny

she was horrified

kaminari swears up and down he’s the cool dad. his kids think otherwise, but their friends LOVE how much of a jokester he is. and he lets them stay up at sleepovers

plus, he’s literally chargebolt

how could they not love him?

denki has a little trouble being serious when he needs to be, but he has good kids so it’s not that much of a problem

there was that one time his son tried to help him during a villain attack. even though kaminari ordered him to get to safety, he didn’t and ended up getting hurt

the twins had never seen their father so angry. it was kind of scary. however, in the next moment, he gathered them up in a big hug and made them swear not to scare him like that again

overall, kaminari is the sweet, fun loving, dad that everyone wishes they had

Bakugo Katsuki:

katsuki became a father the day he found a baby and a note at his doorstep

the note read: “surprise! you’re a dad. i gave you all the legal rights, but you can place her up for adoption if you want.”

least to say, bakugo was pissed

he was even more pissed at himself for getting someone so cold and unloving pregnant

however, he decides to put the baby up for adoption. he cant take care of a baby! he’s at the height of his career. he can basically taste the number one hero spot on his tongue

he’s dead set w the decision, but as he stands outside of the orphanage, he freezes. he just can’t move

bakugo looks down at his daughter as she opens her eyes for the first time. he sees an identical pair of red eyes that make his chest tight with a feeling he hasn’t experienced in a long time

he turns back around and heads back home. it’s easily the best decision he’s ever made in his life

ngl though, growing into the dad role for bakugo was tough

before the girl, he only ever had to think of himself. he was still used to doing everything on his own time and for his own benefit. so being forced to put 100% of his attention to a small helpless human being was not easy

katsuki admits that the first couple of years weren’t his proudest. he was still short tempered, angry with the world, and frustrated bc he felt like his life was ruined

one time, the frustration and sleep deprivation would hit him all at once and he’d just start going off at the baby to just “shut the hell up!” before breaking down and crying with her

it was a dark moment for him, and yet, even after that, his little girl still curled up in his arms to rest when the tears tired her out

it had been a while since he felt unconditional love like that, and so he decided to change for the baby’s sake

you cant tell me that little girl isn’t spoiled rotten

bakugo is a hardass, but he’s all bark no bite. no matter what, he just can’t resist his little girl’s puppy dog eyes

he’s a girl dad to the t

yes he played the princess that needed saving from the big bad dragon. what about it?

his daughter is a firecracker. she started sassing him as soon as she could gargle

he pretends he hates it but his daughter is lowkey funny asl

they go at it when they fight. bakugo’s learned to be a little more patient, but he still has a bit of a temper and it doesn’t mix well when his mini-me has the same explosive anger

is the kind of dad that says sorry by asking her what she wants for dinner

they totally talk mess about other heroes together. he ignores the fact that she admires deku as long as she keeps it to herself

emotional talks are...awkward, but he forces himself through it

she finds it embarrassing (yet oddly endearing) that he got kicked out of a PTA club meeting for threatening to light up some mom for saying the art program didn’t matter

his daughter absolutely won’t talk to him about potential love interests unless she wants them coming up missing

bakugo won’t admit to watching baby videos of his daughter when he sends her off to U.A. and no, he didn’t cry, he got dust in his eye

doesn’t bother her too much, but jumps for his phone when he hears her ringtone

kirishima says he getting soft, but that’s just his little princess

Needy: William, Lovecraft Fanfiction

Author’s Note: Hello again! I hope you all have been well. Conjured this up last night and had to post it! It’s smuttier than the last, sorry, but not for real lmao. Happy reading! Let me know what you think! Taglist/ Requests are open! To be added or removed hit my asks! Thank you! (SN: He doesn’t have a last name on the show, as far as I can remember, so I made one up. Thanks)

Pairings: William x Reader, Lovecraft Fanfiction

Warnings: Smut. Language.

William Bradford owned the law firm at the edge of downtown, perched on a corner, and lit by the streetlight, where he called the area a prime spot. There was no denying that there was a surplus of business flowing from the place; he was well known for having the legal talents to handle almost any case; it was irksome, sometimes. You stood at the frosted door, wondering if you should turn around; it had been a few days since you last saw William, and the last conversation had not ended on good terms. He had tried to call four times that you knew of, and you only knew because he left a message with your roommate. It was a risk to even leave a message with her; she already had doubts that your relationship with him was platonic.

The walk from uptown had given you time to think of why you were here in the first place; you were no longer content with the status of your relationship. No, there was not too much that could change, but you had a proposal that William would find interesting.

It took a few minutes, but you decided to enter the office; you did miss him after all, and walking the distance you did deserve at least a small reward, even if that was just seeing his face. The phone’s trill ring occurred every five seconds, and the curvy secretary did not seem to have enough hands or ears to get to them all.

“Bradford Law Firm?” She said with a deep sigh. “No, apologize; he is busy for the afternoon.” A moment of silence passes, and then she shakes her head as if the person on the other line could see her. “Yes, William has 3pm tomorrow available.”

You say nothing stepping away from her desk while slipping the gloves from your hands. The chill of the fall had started to take over outside. You loved the change in weather; you’d discovered it to be sexier for William to have more to take off when he had the chance. The walls of the office were basically bare; only the photo of his beloved car and his law degree had the privilege to be on them. He loved things simples, in decor but not so much in relationships. The relationship between the two of you was everything but simple.

“Ms. YN.” She looked up from her desk with a warm smile, but her eyes bared the truth. The secretary was not fond of the two of you; you didn’t care, though.

“Hi, Caroline.” You waved. “Mr. Bradford and I are having lunch.”

“I do not see you here on the schedule.”

 The door opened in front of you, and he appeared. The navy tailored suit fit him, well, accentuating the slender cut of his waist all while flaunting that he indeed was from old money. “Ms. Y/L/N, how can I be of service?” William’s hands were shoved into his pocket as he leaned against the wooden doorjamb. “Legal troubles?”

“Now you know damn well,” Your throat was dry all of a sudden; you cleared it subtly and exhaled. “Our lunch date,” You laughed, hoping that he would not embarrass you in front of this woman you barely even like.

“I was just informing Y/N she was not on the schedule.”

“Of course, she is not on it; she does not need to make an appointment for lunch or for anything for that matter.” William moves from the door with the slight swagger in his walk that you’d grown accustomed to walking from afar, and one thing was sure it looked better up close. His eyes carefully examine you from head to toe, pausing at the cream pencil skirt that halted just above your knee. He swiped his hand over his mouth and then smiled at you. “How are you?”

“Tired, I walked from across town for our lunch date, and you aren’t going to offer me a seat.” The harmless flirting in person was the closest thing to foreplay you’d manage to display. You return the lustful look, dragging your eyes over his body, stopping to meet his eyes.

“Forgive my manners or lack of any.” He sucked his teeth, turning to Caroline. “It appears you have earned yourself a long lunch. You can return at two.”

“That’s two hours.” She scoffed in protest.

“I know.” His lips were pursed in a fine line, displaying his dismay in her questions. “I stated it would be a long lunch.” William took her jacket and purse from the hook behind her and handed it to her.

“Will you need me to bring you anything to eat?”

“I plan to eat in.” He stated with a smirk. The words instantly making you clench your legs together. “Have a good lunch Caroline.”

The dismal did not last long, for as soon as she took her belongings, he was in front of you. His arms cornering you against the wall and nose gently rubbing down the line of your face. “I called you yesterday.”

“I was studying.”

“And that’s a good reason to not answer?”

“You lived, didn’t you?”

“Barely.” He answered.

The door closes, and your fingers wrap around his tie, tugging him closer to you. “I missed you.” you smile, hoping it would ease the sting of ignoring him for a day. William needed to be told no sometimes, you spoiled him. Always answer his beck and call; no was a good thing.

Then perhaps you should act as if you did.” William stepped back, taking your hands from his tie and cocking his brow. “Did you pass those tests?”

“Yes.” You beam at him. “Glad you care.”

“I always care.”

“You weren’t allowing me time to study, keeping me up all hours of the night.” The first step into his office is calming. This place was where you first met; he’d taken up being your lawyer for a small civil suit. There hadn’t been a need to come here multiple times a day other than for him to fuck you. You were addicted to the feel of him, the charming cadence of his words, and the magic of those fingers no matter the circumstances.

“Why walk across town?” William took a seat at his desk, adjusting his tie and then peering up at you. “I could have easily come to you.”

“I felt bad about not seeing you this past week.” The softness of your voice is unexpected, but the small truths come out when you are vulnerable; you knew this.

“Then you should have come over when I asked.” He adjusted the papers on the table and clears his throat. It was not in his character to not embrace any vulnerability in you, even when he was mad at you. He was that gentleman.  “Is this an apology, Y/N?” William waited for your response.

“I don’t think I owe you an apology, William. I wanted to talk to you about some things that have been heavy on me, though, if you have the time.” You take one step towards the desk, and he holds his hand, halting you. “What?” The tension lay thick in the air.

“I just know that if you walk over here, we won’t get to talk, and you claim that is why you’re here anyhow.”

“I want,” you paused. What did you want?

“What?” He folded his arms over his chest.

“You.” The weighty word floated from your lips precariously.

William motioned you over to him, and when you were in reach, he had his hands on you. Wet kisses trailed up your neck to the rose petal-soft lips that graced your face. If it was possible to be worshipped through touch, William had perfected it. His fingers lagged soft lines up your legs, pushing the pencil skirt to allow easier access. The talented lips sung rushed kisses that turned into slow lulls, mixed with nips from his teeth and tastes from his tongue. He was everywhere, and you loved it; you wanted more. He breathed heavily once he pulled you over him; your legs dangled on each side of him. William loved the feeling of you on top of him. The weight of you was overwhelming; the sound of your moans when his hands traveled up your exposed thighs to the line of your underwear than to your soaked middle. Two hours seemed like a long time, but in truth, it was nothing two the two of you. You pushed your skirt up higher, allowing you to feel his cock through his pants.

“I’m going to ruin this dress.”

“I have to walk back uptown.”

“No, you don’t.” William pushed the curls from your face and looked up at you. “I will take you back to your place.”

“You sure about that white boy?” Your teeth graze over his earlobe, only feeling more intoxicated by him while continuing the playful banter. “Not your side of town?”

“Wherever you are, is my side of town.” He pushes his two fingers in your mouth. “Suck.” You opened your mouth, taking them in your mouth, sucking for a moment, and they were gone, back in between your legs and pushing into you expertly, causing you to bow from him. You exhaled, locking eyes with him as he started his pursuit. William pumped his fingers into you, massaging your clit with his thumb each time they entered you. Your pussy enveloped them, welcoming them in like old friends and that they were. There was no room for a coherent thought, your head fell back, and eyes rolled as he started to fuck you with his fingers. He had barely even touched your clit, and somehow you were drenched for him. “You’re so needy.” He laughed.

There was no patience in your next movements; you reached between the two of you and unbuttoned his pants. His dick pressed against his boxers. Usually, there was a rhythm to these things. He liked to get undressed at his own pace and fuck you slow. This was not today. William stood, throwing you onto the scattered papers on his desk and spread your legs wide for him to admire you.

“You’re not allowed to run today.” He gave a small smile before he unsheathed himself, pumping up and down himself a few times. William hovered over you; his dick flinched warm over the entrance of your pussy. “Understand?”

“Yes.” You shook your head, you never really intended to run, but there was only many so many times you could cum.

William places his thumb on your clit and then slams into you, hilt deep, your body quakes taking all of him and reveling in pleasure. “Sweet Y/N.” He groans, his teeth clenched as he starts to fuck you. His hips snap onto your body, knocking your body up the desk. The tips of his fingers dig into the supple flesh of your thigh, pulling you to meet him at each thrust, and your hips naturally wind. Grinding on him, allowing that extra tease of pleasure to your swollen nub. The deeper he sunk into you, the more intense the pleasure grew. He pulls out of you, swiping his heavy cock down your slit and then tapping playfully only to flip you over. Your ass is sat up just for him; you didn’t want him to stop.

Impatiently you rub yourself against him, feeling him jump against your skin, and then chuckle. “Calm down, sweetheart.” The charming lull of his voice is followed by his hand, pressing the arch of your back and him slamming into you. Sweet delicious sting flooded through your entire body, setting each nerve afire with a tingling sensation you could not stop. Your body shook against, and he continued to fuck you, guiding your hips to meet his thrust. Your feet hovered over the ground, and you were more than grateful for the desk holding your body because had it not been there, you might have floated away. He made you feel weightless. Your toes curled as the high pitch mewls exclaimed your ecstasy. How the fuck had you gone a week, better yet a day without him?

The flowers on the corner of the desk crashed to the floor, the glass shattering and water spattering. William didn’t care; you gripped the table as he growled, and he snapped his hips on your ass. William was chasing his high, and it was inside of you. He fucked you deeper, leaning his body over yours fully and then spreading your legs wider for better access. You imagined what you looked like spread out on the desk beneath him, unable to stop yourself from coming over and over, and one thing was sure, you were needy. How in the fuck could you not be? He slammed into you once more, and this time he grew harder, releasing himself once he was deep enough in you, and then he continued to fuck into you. He wanted to savor the moment just as much as you.

There was a mess made of the office, his clothes, and yours; there was no redemption from it. William didn’t seem to mind; he fixed himself to the best of his capabilities and then turned his attentions to you, adjusting the mess of curls atop your head and then straightening your skirt. “What are your plans for the evening?”

“Cleaning, maybe reading.”

“No studying?” William wiped the remnants of the lipstick from the side of your face and cupped your face making sure your eyes were on him.

“I hadn’t planned it.”

“Good, then come home with me.” When you said nothing, he rolled his eyes, “You are not the only one that is needy.”

“I can do that.” The smile on your face was not able to be erased at the moment.

William draped you in his coat and placed the fedora atop his head. He opened the door, not expecting to Caroline there; the permanent scowl on her face did not phase him or you for that matter. “Caroline, glad to have you back. Cancel my meetings and clean the office.” Her mouth dropped, staring at you. “After that, you are free for the afternoon. Good day to you.”
