Messy Confession

Warnings: Swearing, yelling. 578 words

 

Claire moved to her front door the constant, insistent knocking concerning. Opening the door, Claire found herself pressed against the wall behind her the door slamming shut.

  Leon held Claire’s neck in his hands, the expression he wore startling her. Before she could speak or even react, he pressed his mouth against her. The kiss was heavy, desperate, but filled with care.

  “We need to talk…I can’t…”

  “Rookie, now is not…”

  “Stop! Just be quiet for a minute, okay? I need to say this and if I don’t…”

  “Okay, but we’re…”

  “I mean it, Red. Just be quiet!”

  “Okay.”

  Claire was honestly worried, but she’d let Leon say whatever he needed to.

  “I can’t do this anymore. Every time I’m on a mission all I think about is getting back to you. Praying that you haven’t been pulled into something even worse than I’m facing. That whole fucking thing with Wesker’s sister…It killed me to see you so broken and injured. Knowing I should’ve been there. I know you don’t need my protection, you never have, but dammit, I want to back you up. I want to be your partner just like I was in Raccoon City. I know you took a different path, but if you keep ending up back in the fight, why can’t you fight with me?! Dammit, I don’t understand. So, please explain it to me, because I can’t Claire. I can’t accept it anymore.”

  Claire cupped his face in his hands, using her thumb to wipe away a stray tear at the corner of Leon’s eye. Leon closed his eyes, covering her hands with his, a single sigh escaping his lips. Leon’s entire body relaxed under Claire’s touch, a familiar calm coming over him.

  “Rookie, I’m sorry. I want to fight, but I can’t do it your way. I watch all of you come back from whatever shit you were in…Each time you are missing another piece of yourself. I know because I was there. I lost a chunk of myself in Raccoon City, but because you were there, I filled that whole back up. What I do now, how I fight keeps me from losing another piece. I fight here, to give all of you a place, a safe place to come back to. It feels like I’ll lose all of you if I don’t try to keep the home front safe. I am so sorry it feels like I’m abandoning you, but I’m not. I promise you, I would never, Leon.”

  “Claire…Fuck it! I need you in my life more than once a year!” Leon had pulled away and punched the wall.

  “Well, I think that is our sign to leave…”

   Leon looked around the corner and saw Chris, Jill, Sherry, Rebecca and Barry. No one spoke as they each patted him gently on the shoulder, all of them aware of the toll they all bore from Raccoon City. As well as each mission after.

  Chris was the last one out, but stopped, clapping a hand on Leon’s shoulder.

  “About time you told her. Later sis,” Chris smiled before exiting.

  “I tried to tell you we weren’t alone…”   “Yeah…I love you, Claire Redfield. Now you tell me…Where are we going from here.”

  Claire smiled, taking Leon’s hand in hers.

  “My bedroom. We have more than once a year to plan for, so tonight, we relax.”

  Leon chuckled, following her like the obedient puppy he was and always had been for her.

Still haven't managed last week's challenge. Here's hoping I can manage both today.

💠 💠 Cleon Writing Challenge 💠 💠

Here's this week's prompt. Have fun!

[FAQ]

[asthedeathoflight]

Okay I know I am the number one Ajax/Cleon lobbyist on this website but I also have a lot of fondness in my heart for Ajax and Cleon as age-mismatched work besties. They joined the Warriors at the same time and got sent on the same shitty newbie jobs so they became friends even though Cleon was 25 and Ajax was 15 at the time. And now Ajax still has the sense that she and Cleon are basically equals in terms of seniority even though Cleon is literally the leader now. Ajax is like wdym. Me and Cleon are definitely the same age. We've been Warriors for the same amount of time and that's basically the same thing right.

Ajax (barely legal to drink) barging into Cleon's office to complain to her about Girl Trouble meanwhile Cleon (pushing 30) (newly in charge of her own gang) is like dear God how did I end up in this situation. But also thats Her Girl so like they're stuck together forever.

Was wondering about 📿 for the warriors and 🔒 for uhhh idk Swan and Mercy?? whoever you think fits best

And if there are any answers to any of the prompts you’ve got locked and loaded just waiting for someone to ask feel free to put that here too ig !!

btw ur feeding my Warriors rot perfectly thank you

[ 📿 ]ㅤ.ㅤwhat superstition or ritual do they cling to ?

during jobs cochise mentally does a roll call in her head even if they don't say it out loud. she'll repeat the names of everyone who's there to reassure herself.

cowgirl keeps her hat in a particular spot whenever she's not wearing it and hates whenever someone moves it and claims that her hat will stop being lucky.

fox has a lucky penny that she always carries with her because she found it on the same day the warriors found her.

cleon is the first one up and will always take a few minutes to sit on the fire escape. a moment to herself where she doesn't have to be responsible for anyone.

ajax has a morning workout routine that she needs to do before she can do anything else. i also think she always bounces on her toes before a fight.

rembrandt shakes her cans a very specific number of times before using them.

swan has a journal where she writes down like. everything about other gangs + their members + their territory. and every time they have a job swan will run through the info of anyone they might encounter.

mercy's tattoos are still bouncing around in my head so i think mercy traces over them every time she needs to ground herself.

[ 🔒 ]ㅤ.ㅤwhat is a secret they’ve sworn never to tell ?

i don't have very specific thoughts about this but lowkey i think swan is The Secret Keeper of the gang. everyone knows if they ask her not to tell anyone something then she won't. and also when someone gets themselves into trouble or needs help with something minor sometimes it's less daunting to go to swan vs cleon who is their warlord. swan's in your corner, you know?

send me a character + hc prompt from this list

GRAAGHH WHO CARES ANYMORE

[braveryhearted]

Leon takes a bit of a deep breath as he knock on the door and praying that he pick the right apartment address. Brushes off the creases from his outfit that he picked. "Man....I hope Claire would answer right now." He mutters to himself.

She opened the door to her home and saw someone very familiar. That's weird. Claire thought Leon would be one to call when coming over. Not like she was doing anything special or anything. But a heads up would had been nice. Unless she forgot about it. That could had happened.

"Hey Leon...What are you doing here? Wait, don't tell me. It's the anniversary of the day we got thrown into that zombie infested city right?"

Probably not it but with the way Leon was dressed up, it was a good guess. But Claire figures that would be an odd event to wear good clothes though, no matter how someone could spin it.

This one request is for Nefero/ femReader.

For the past week, Nefero has been seeing his girlfriend less and less. His girlfriend has been having out with genderbent!Manny (I'll call her Manuella) a lot lately. At first, he doesn't mind that his darling has new friend. He likes that she's happy. However, He gets jealous. Between class the girls quickly go to the restroom and come out all smiles and giggling. When lunch rolls around, femReader is sitting with Manuella when she and Nefero usually sit together. And when Nefero goes to see Reader, Manuella is by her side talking up a storm. Thinking they're going through to a rough patch Nefero invites femReader on a date on Saturday to smooth things over. But surprisingly Reader rejects his offer and tells him she's busy. Nefero has a lot of pride, he can't bring himself to tell Reader that he's worried about their relationship. On the Saturday, Nefero goes to the mall for some retail therapy. While shopping, he sees Reader and Manuella hand in hand going into a shop. Hurt and crushed, Nefero goes home in tears. Later on, he gets a message from Reader saying she's coming over and she wants to tell him something. Because Nefero ain't no punk, dries his tears, fixes his makeup and meets Reader outside to confront her. But instead of a new girlfriend with her, Reader has a new septum piercing in his favorite color. Wha??? Turns out Reader had wanted the new piercing for some time now so she's been asking Manuella about hers (Side note: Manny from Monster High OG has a ring through his nose or a septum piercing). Manuella been giving her tips on how to care for it and showing cool ring designs. Despite being excited, Reader was a bit nervous so Manuella went with her with for support her to get the piercing on Saturday. She was shaking a bit. so Manuella held her hand to keep her still and steady. The reason why Reader didn't tell Nefero about it was because she wanted it to be a surprise to show off her cool and new accessory. Happy that is was all an misunderstanding. Nefero embraces his girlfriend.

My apologies for this being so long. Thank you for your time.

This is just amazing love this prompt and don't worry I enjoyed reading it your really creative and makes my writing go so much smoothly, so I really appreciate it!

I definitely like the idea of a more vulnerable side of Nefero so I'll make it cannon for their relationship and honestly I was gonna add some vulnerability when it's just the two of them alone

(Also I do remember Many having the septum piercing he rocked it.)

Alright here we go!

__________________________________________

Prompt-The reader hasn't been as active in the relationship for about a week she's hanging out more with Manuella (genderbent! Many) and Nefero is very desperate for readers attention /jealous and oh so secretly vulnerable.

Established relationship

Will be suing [Name] as substitute for (y/n)

Readers Nickname, my jewel/my queen

h/c)= hair color

(h/s) =hair style

(h/t)= hair type

(N/n)= Nickname

(E/c)=eye color

Angts with happy ending

________________________________________

Monster high is seen in plain view, the sky is a fangtastic shade of gray with the big stormy clouds covering for miles

Mansters and ghouls are seen entering the school with chitter chatter all around

In comes a limousine, the door swings open to reveal the De Nile Brothers fighting with each other

"You knew I was gonna use those earnings and you took them!" Cleon yells at his older brother who seemed unbothered by his younger brothers tantrum, he ignores him and walks up the stairs as Cleon keeps on yelling his undead heart about the stylish earing he took from grandmother's tomb.

Nefero walks in and searches around with an almost hopeful stare, yet to the untrained eye that wasn't his girlfriend he looked forever resting bitch face.

He glances side to side but doesn't see a sliver of (h/c) hair around the crowd of onlookers but he doesn't find her, there was pit forming deep in him but he simply moved on with long strides, making every Monster and ghoul to make way his majesty Nefero De Nile

Nefero walks to his locker and finds his girlfriend, he becomes ready excited he walks a little more faster and as he approaches he sees her new friend, her name was Manuella

Normally he wouldn't mind her friends but recently it made him mad how much time the two were having, like somehow he didn't exist in her ethereal world that sometimes he'd look at himself and think he wasn't the one to be in such a presence.

Now he truly felt it, making his skin crawl with frustration and oh so well known jealousy.

It wasn't a good color of him; he'd prefer his signature dark green with ofcourse the fiery red he saw [Name] as.

She wore a apple red skirt and black crop top with a gold skull design, she had on platform heels with red bottoms and her (h/c) (h/t) hair was in (h/s) that had green clips on the side of her head,her face was done softly but with bold red and black eyeshadow.

As he walked towards the two he adjusted his earring which he thought would get her attention for at least a minute.

"Hello my queen" he grabbed her waist leand down a bit to her neck and kissed it softly. [Name] looked at him and smiled sheepishly "oh! Hey Nefie, whats up" she turns which makes his hand leave her waist as well making his body just be in front of [Name] not letting him be as close as he wanted.

"Oh nothing, just wanted to walk to class with you is all my jewel" he took her hand and gave it a kiss. [Name] nodded her head smiling then took back her hand and grabbed his hand, then continued talking to Manuella as they walked to class.

At the very least she was holding his hand so he was happy for the meantime.

_______________________________________

In class it seemed that the only thing that was important to [Name] was talking to Manuella and sometimes he could have cursed that they were whispering at times but he let it go because it could be a personal ghoul problem and he didn't want to but into something that he wasn't needed for.

As time went by Nefero resorted to at least paying some attention to class he twirls his hair around on his finger but his mind still swirled with thoughts of his dearest, who was just inches away from him.

Oh how he craved for her to hold his bicep or caressing his face as she took notes while he looked at her. He keeps twirling his dark teal and gold hair as the class goes on.

*Ring Ring Ring*

The bell announced the end of the class, Nefero got up and was going to get [Name]'s chair and pull it out for her to then be created by an empty seat, he quickly scans the classroom then sees her and Manuella rushing out of the leaving an empty seat with the confused manster.

He looked very dumbfounded for a few seconds to then change up his attitude and continue like nothing happened at all

Nefero is seen walking the hall looking to each of his side with his eyes,he makes sure no one can tell he's getting desperate or that he's actively looking or someone, normally he would announce proudly that he is looking for his girlfriend but he had been feeling unsure on where he stood at the moment

'Does my jewel not love me anymore?! Did she find someone else! She must be bored of me! Is that why?!' The manster is beginning to hyperventilate, be it camouflage by his smirk but his un-dead heart was filled with pressure deep within his chest.

He looks to the side to finally see his darling [Name],walking out the bathroom laughing along side Manuella, Nefero becomes once again jealous on the inside, he was about to approach them but the bell rings for their next class separately since he couldn't bribe bloodgood to have then take all the classes together but she said no but still gave a fair amount he was pleased with that but not fully.

As he watches [Name] and Manuella laugh all the way down the hall till they disappear he feels...neglected? He's not sure but it could be for all he knew, he was not used to this treatment, and as the tall prince stood there in the middle of the hallway almost every Monster was in their class while he just stood there...for a while.

As lunch time rolled around we can see [Name] with Manuella who is talking really enthusiastically to the ghoul next to her, Nefero walks into the cafeteria in hopes to at least be sitting with [Name] and ask her on a shopping date.

'Maybe if we go on a date shopping around will fix what's going on' he thinks as he approaches their usual table to be created by Manuella talking quickly with a bright smile, looking at [Name] making the poor guy frustrated that she was still taking his personal time with his girlfriend.

He shrugs himself up, smooths out his hair back and proceeds to walk up to [Name] with confident strides.

When he gets to her free side he starts to say "hello my queen,are you free this Saturday? I'd like to go with you to the mall, maybe buy you a matching new wardrobe for me and you" he looks at her smiling, expectancy in his purple bright eyes.

[Name]'s smile falters into a sympathetic one "oh Nefie I'm so sorry I can't this Saturday I'm busy that day" she looks down sheepishly and ashamed that she had to let him down on his kind offer.

[Name] felt extremely guilty to do this to her wonderful boyfriend but she would make it up with the surprise she had planed just for him and only him, she just loved Nefero so much,more than words can say,so it really did hurt her to leaving him like this for the past week to plan her surprise with Manuella.

Nefero looked away as he shook his head and walked away quickly out of the cafeteria he would just not eat for now, maybe later, just when he's not distraught and sad.

[Name] watched as her boyfriend walked out in a haste, she turns to her friend "I feel awful, I hope he'll like the surprise but this is killing me Manuella" Manuella reassures her "don't worry (n/n) I'm sure he'll love the surprise and understand why you've been hanging out so much with me this week" [name] nods and gives a small smile "yeah hope so"

_______________________________________

Saturday rolls around and Nefero gets out of the limo that sits in front of the large mall, this was the next best thing he could do for his paranoid brain,he had previously spent the whole night worrying.

But that thought was so silly she wouldn't do that, not after the countless times they shared their most intimate secrets to each other, especially not when they had touched skin with skin in the most close/intimate of positions.

He walks along the endless hallway in the mall, his teal and gold hair sways behind him, the heels on his knee high boots click on the floor.

'No she wouldn't' he told himself over and over as if he said it as many times as he could it would eventually become a secret spell to possibly prevent his worst fear.

[Name] leaving him without a second thought.

Nefero walked along the mall with his servants. He hadn't gone into any store so far but eventually he probably just not as quickly as usual.

He turns a corner and as his eyes redirect landing on a well known figure, it was his girlfriend walking hand in hand with Manuella going into a store

"..." Nefero stopped in his tracks stunned, he stared in shock and disbelief at what he was seeing, there wasn't a good explanation for this, right?!

She couldn't do this to him could she?!!

He quickly turns the other way and starts to run back to the entrance where he frantically looks around "where is the limo! Get it here now!" He yelled at his servants " get it here this instant!"

After several minutes the limo gets there and Nefero practically leaps into the backseat and starts barking others "TAKE ME BACK HOME THIS INSTANT" tears start to quickly run down to his cheek and chin, his usual elegant composure gone and stripped.

____________________________________

In his room we see Nefero sobbing into his velvet pillow he wears a green robe his hair is all messy and stuck to any exposed skin with sweat and tears, there's used napkins surrounded him, an empty bucket of chocolate ice-cream on his nightstand

"*sob**snif*Nefero tries to keep his sobs to a minimum but the intense feeling of betrayal was just too strong so he wept hard not caring anymore, how could he? The only ghoul he truly loved was with another for what it seemed to him, so might as well cry his un dead heart all he pleased.

Nefero looked to the side at his night stand that held the discarded carton of ice-cream and next to it the photo of him and [Name] he'd have to pack it away later, he stared into those (e/c) eyes and felt his own eyes sting from the endless river of tears.

*Buzz* *Buzz*

The sound of his eyecoffin getting a notification made him stop for a brief moment, he reluctantly gets up from his laying position and goes to grab it, he takes in a sharp breath when he sees who had texted him, it was [Name] it read

'Hey! Im coming over, i want to tell you something'

Nefero frowns but decides to at least confront her, he gets up takes off his robe to reveal that he still had his outfit from the mall, he goes to his vanity and quickly reduces his makeup to at least look decent and not like a pathetic mess.

After 20 minutes getting ready (which was shorter than the usual time) he walks down to the front of the house and as he gets to the front door the bell rings meaning [Name] arrived

Nefero walks up, opening the door with a cold expression; he expects to see [Name] and Manuella together but it was just her he raises an eyebrow.

[Name] covers her nose but a grin is still seen from underneath "Nefie look!" She takes down her hand to reveal a green septum piercing.

Nefero stares in confusion "wait what?" [Name] sees he's confused so she goes to explain herself "I know I haven't been as present in our relationship, it was because I've been wanting to get this septum piercing but since I didn't know much I asked Manuella to educate me and help me pick!" She quickly explains

"and so when I told you I couldn't go with you to the mall today it was because I was going to get it but I needed some moral support so Manuella came with me even helped me relax holding my hand since im kinda bad with piercings, remember my belly button piercing and how you held my hand? I need that but i couldn't spoil the surprise" her wide smile as she told the story.

"You.. wanted to surprise me with a new piercing of my favorite color" he gets up close to her face reaching a hand to the side of her face moving her head side to side looking at it clearly "it's beautiful" he smiles relief going through his body that it was just a misunderstanding on his part

"I love it" his darling smiles at him ecstatic "Really!" She holds his hand that was on her face and squeezes it as she jumps up and down "Haha yes my jewel!" Nefero picks her up and swings her around, he sets her down and hugs her tight her chest pressing against his "I guess I need to stop over exaggerating things in my head" he whispers in her hair "what do you mean Nefie?" She asks still being pressed into his chest

"I sort of thought you got bored of me and were cheating on me with Manuella" [Name] gasps "Nefie! I'd never do that!!" She huffs backing away and crossing her arms.

Nefero laughed at her cuteness "yes yes I know I was just...*sigh* very confused and hurt when you started to pull away and be around Manuella, you could say I was jealous she took all your attention" he admitted looking down at his shoes in shame, [Name] gets up close and cups his cheek making him look at her "my darling Nefie I'm truly sorry I made you think that I got bored of you or that I didn't love you,and for what it's worth-" she took a deep breath looking deep into his eyes with a smile.

"I will never stop loving the Manster I fell so deeply for since the first day we met,you are my world you are my sun and i your moon without you my existence would be meaningless without your beams of light I'd be left in the unseen,unnoticed but YOU can see my cracks and uneven edges only you can see up close unlike any other." She leans in and kisses him sweetly on his lips, happy tears start to flow down from Nefero's eyes as he uses his hands to close the gap between them once more and kisses back with just as much love.

The sweet close connection of their lips danced the same tune they've known, tongue's intertwined as passion mixed itself with desire, they stop for air gasping hot heavy pants "thank you my jewel, you are truly my goddess sent from the heavens and to think you would chose me" he steals another kiss.

"I'll always chose you in any life...in any universe" she grabs his hand smiling "Let's go inside Nefie I've missed you~" She purred making Nefero blushed yet smiled at her "lead the way my queen~”

[clownzaf]

What if when Fox tells Mercy to get the Warriors home alive she gives Mercy her vest? Her train (ha!) of thought is that it’s better for her case to not have anything physical to link her to the Warriors other than the cops words (something that is really important, but hey! Maybe it helps on her case!) but it’s also a recognition of Mercy as a Warrior and an invitation to fill her place while she’s temporarily gone. It also works so the cops don’t take it away from her when they throw her in the hole.

Maybe Mercy uses it because if Fox last wish was for her to have the vest she is going to use it until the day she can give it back to its rightful owner in the afterlife.

Maybe she doesn’t have the heart to touch it after being the one that gets to have it when all of her actual friends and family only got memories. She tried to give it back to Cleon or Swan countless times, but they said over and over again that Fox’s last wish was for Mercy to have it and they won’t dishonour her like that.

(Maybe is because they can’t force themselves to look at it knowing they failed her. Maybe is best for Mercy to have it hidden away so they won’t have to look at it and remember sweet smiles and long nights playing video games)

They both lead to very angsty moments, like Ajax coming back from jail and looking at the weird girl she’s been trying so hard to understand during long nights locked up with just the memories of that night to entertain her. Seeing Fox’s vest (with the fox and Pokémon pins and everything) on this girl and just seeing red at the thought that they threw sweet little Fox away and replaced her with the first person they saw. It only gets worse when she discovers they replaced her after she DIED.

Or Mercy crying over the vest she hasn’t touched since that night wondering why was her the one she left with the weight of guilt to haunt her forever. Hating Fox because now everyone looks at her and sees a girl she had never been, even when she isn’t wearing that stupid vest. She can’t throw her away and they don’t let her give it back. It’s like a haunted doll who will appear in her room everytime she tries.

Maybe Mercy is the one that kills Victor. Not to avenge Fox like she told the rest, but to avenge Mercy, the person she won’t ever get to be again because now when everyone looks at her they only see Foxfoxfoxfoxfox

Jealousy the Funny Disease (pt. 1)

*someone said something about a polycule and it grew in my brain*

There was a time where Rembrandt truly did believe that Ajax would figure it out. It being the obvious attraction Ajax had to Swan. Swan's attraction to Ajax. Rembrandt's attraction to Swan and Swan's attraction to Rembrandt that often involved Swan panicking if she so much as accidentally brushed the back of her hand against Rembrandt's. She thought that, once Ajax figured it out, maybe had a minor freak out about it, preferably chose to not fight Swan about said panic, maybe they could bring Swan into their relationship. Maybe it wouldn't be forever, but...Rembrandt thought it could be nice. At least for a little while.

They got close, in a way. There were many nights spent, just the three of them in the night, Swan and Ajax watching Rembrandt's back as she tagged. Swan might have flinched away from physical affection, but she always listened when Rembrandt went on her tangents and offered her quiet insights. She even went to the art museums with Rembrandt, which even Ajax found difficult, as much as she tried for Rembrandt. They went out to the queer bars and Swan hung around the walls, watching until it was time to go home. And despite the fact that Ajax was willing to wingman pretty much anyone, she never tried to find Swan a girl, not once. So. Rembrandt hoped. She hoped the little thing that existed between the three of them might grow.

Except Ajax never did figure it out. Swan became Cleon's number two and the closest her and Ajax came to talking about their mutual feelings was when they were pummeling each other. And Rembrandt never said anything, because she was painfully aware how badly this could go. How quickly Ajax would sacrifice herself if she thought it would make Rembrandt happy and that was simply not allowed.

Then came the night from Hell and, suddenly, Swan had a girlfriend for the first time. It hurt, a bit. To see Swan and Mercy so happy while Rembrandt stressed over Ajax getting out.

Ajax got out, though, sooner than anyone imagined and also too long - two months.

"Did she even go through initiation?" Ajax grumbled, brow lowered as she all but glared across Cleon's living room at where Mercy and Swan were curled up on the couch. Swan read a book and Mercy pretended to read the same book, but spent much more time slowly finger-combing Swan's hair.

"She did more than enough, be nice," Rembrandt chided, nudging Ajax's shoulder with her own where they leant against the wall.

Ajax's jaw flexed, but she didn't say anything. Well. She didn't say anything, then, and she didn't say anything specific.

"Her jokes aren't that funny," Ajax muttered under her breath later that night when Swan was laughing at something Mercy said.

It caught Rembrandt completely off-guard and all she could do was side-eye Ajax.

"Why the fuck doesn't she just wear her own colors?" Ajax grouched a couple of days later when Swan and Mercy were play fighting over Swan's colors, currently on Mercy's back.

Rembrandt looked down at her vest. Then at Ajax, "I stole your original vest."

Ajax gritted her teeth. "That's different."

"We were initiated at the same time."

"It's. Different." Rembrandt did not push it farther.

She thought it was cute, how Mercy stole Swan's colors. A traitorous thought occurred that it would be really cute if she stole Swan's and then Swan stole Ajax's. Then, Mercy and Rembrandt could watch Swan and Ajax fight over- Nope. Not going there, no, bad brain, baaaad brain, there is a snowball's chance in hell at this point.

"I can't believe Cleon sent them out alone," Ajax griped and, at this point, it had been two weeks of this nonsense and Rembrandt was losing her mind a little bit.

"Uh-huh," was Rembrandt's only response from her and Ajax's bed, sketching in her sketchbook while Ajax got ready for bed.

"She always sends Swan and me," Ajax continued. "Swan and I have each other's backs for gigs like that."

"They're still in Brooklyn."

"Swan's a good fighter, she can take me, but she isn't intimidating," Ajax said. "And neither is Mercy! Cleon's asking for them to get jumped!"

"Oh, my God, will you just admit you're jealous?!" Rembrandt exclaimed, looking up at Ajax exasperated.

"I'm not jealous!" Ajax retorted. Then, after a moment, more forcefully, "I'm not jealous! Why would I be jealous?"

Rembrandt groaned, rolled her eyes. "Never mind."

But Ajax was not finished. "Why would I be jealous? Just because Swan barely talks to me anymore. And now Cleon's sending Mercy out instead of me. I'm not jealous. I don't care that Swan thinks Mercy's funny. Or that Mercy's pretty in that soft, girly way. I don't want to be like that. You're pretty like that, though, so I do think it's kind of bullshit, because Swan should have noticed. And Swan needs other things, too. Swan's always taking care of everyone else and she never puts herself first, ever. Ever. She just met Mercy, there's no way that Mercy knows that Swan does that, so what if she lets Swan do that all the time. Not to mention, Swan never hangs out with us anymore! It's always, 'I'm going out with Mercy' or 'Mercy and I are doing-Oh."

Ajax turned to Rembrandt with wide-eyes. "Am I jealous of Mercy?!"

"Yes. Yes, you are, thank you for finally catching up, you have been driving me crazy for weeks," Rembrandt grumbled as she tried to return to her sketchbook.

"But- I-"

Rembrandt finally took pity on Ajax. "We both liked Swan. Swan liked us. Neither of you figured it out enough to talk about it and now we're here." Then, because Rembrandt knew where Ajax was going to go with this, "Ajax, she really likes Mercy."

"But," Ajax's nose crinkled, the way it did when she was faced with a difficult problem. "Were we dating?"

"No," Rembrandt sighed. "No. Dating implies actual understanding. We were...doing something. I don't know, but...No. It is what it is."

"I don't like that."

"I know. But do you really want to mess this up for her? She's the happiest I've seen her in a long time."

It should have been easy, to watch someone you cared deeply for be happy. Even if it was with someone else.

It would have been easy, if Mercy wasn't Mercy.

Mercy tried so hard and there was something about that effort that made Rembrandt's heart ache as she watched it. She wanted to wrap Mercy up and promise that they had her, it was okay, no one was going to send her away, she was a Warrior now. Instead, Rembrandt had to trust that Swan was doing that.

"Why is Mercy funny?" Ajax grouched at their ceiling one night.

"Because she's fucking perfect," Rembrandt grouched back.

"Why are they both- That isn't fair."

"It really isn't."

"We're funny!"

"I'm funny."

"Okay, well, I'm buffer than Swan."

"I'm at least as pretty as Mercy."

"...this isn't making me feel better."

"Yeah, no, I don't think trash-talking women we like is going to help us."

Too Old

Warnings: Swearing, gun violence, grenade, beheading of zombies

Gunfire filled the halls of the dilapidated hospital on the outskirts of a tiny town in VA. The hospital long ago abandoned by Umbrella, but only recently discovered by TerraSave during an outbreak clean up.

"How many fuckin' people worked here? Shit!" Leon shouted as he reloaded his 9mm.

"Fuck! We're getting too old for this shit," Chris responded.

"GRENADE!" Claire yelled before tossing it, giving Chris and Leon mere moments to move.

The two men dove into an open room, slamming the door. After the explosion went off, Chris opened the door, Leon following.

Claire was moving through the bodies, using her machete to take off the heads of any moving undead.

Leon chuckled when Claire turned back to them smiling brightly, covered in blood and bits of undead flesh.

"Not all of us," Leon shook his head amused.

"You guys should've asked for help," Claire teased, wiping the blood and dead flesh off.

"Hah. Your boyfriend's the one that thinks we're getting too old for this," Chris tossed back.

Leon pulled Claire against his side, holding her close. This was one of those rare times their paths crossed and Leon wasn't going to miss a chance to hold her.

"Bullshit, old man. That was absolutely you. I've got my woman keeping me young..." Chris stuck his fingers in his ears before obnoxiously singing loudly.

"LALALALA! I can't hear you..."

Claire laughed, burying her face in Leon's neck finding a moment of solace in the woody scent of his cologne.

"We still gotta clear the lower levels. You comin' Red?" Leon looked down at Claire.

"Like old times, huh?" Claire chuckled, accepting Leon's backup 9mm.

"Old times or too old, not even sure anymore," Chris mumbled.

resident not-so-evil

i have been inspired by the positivity challenge in the pedro pascal fandom to start up the same thing over here because we are in dire need of some good vibes. i know it's called 'resident evil' but we don't have to be evil all the time!

here's the 'challenge', if you will:

📌recommend as many of your own fics as you want -- the more the merrier!

📌fics must be about resident evil characters (any pairings, any genre, any length)

📌fics must have been posted in 2024

📌tell us anything you want about the fic(s) -- your inspiration, your favorite lines, your favorite scene, etc.

📌feel free to include any art, memes, and any other fandom content you've made this year

📌your recs must be your own fics, but do consider tagging some other writers so they can participate too!

📌provide links to your fics (tumblr or ao3 are both fine) so we can read them

📌if you participate (and participation is open to everyone!) tag me so i can see it!

*I will be creating a masterlist of everyone's recommendations so we can all see each other's things

here are my personal recs:

💗never penelope, always calypso (leon x reader) - my magnum opus, truly. i love angst (no happy ending) more than any other genre. this was inspired by the poem "after the threesome they both take you home" (and the odyssey, hence the title)

💗 take your fast car and keep on driving (fem! leon aka 'leah' x reader) - obviously, i'm a sucker for f/f as a lesbian, but i really liked writing the subtle sex as opposed to explicit sex. I also love to write scenes that include other RE characters besides the main pairing (especially chris and rebecca in this one)

💗but the fighter still remains (chreon, but more of a leon character study) - writing about dealing with homophobia and sexual assault, moreover, not knowing your own sexuality and thinking the way you feel during sex with someone you're not attracted to is normal, was healing for me, honestly. this fic half about leon, half about me.

💗 three's company too (reader x leon x chris) - there had to be at least one ddlg fic on here, okay? i think that as i've progressed as a writer, i've gotten pretty good at characterization. when i look back on this fic and see leon and chris' dynamic, i like the way i wrote it. this was originally titled differently but i had the three's company theme song stuck in my head when i finished the fic, so

💗 the ring leader (claire x reader x leon) - it's not cleon dw i believe in gay claire forever. i've barely written claire in fics so i thought it would be really hard to pin down her character, but the inspiration kinda hit me all at once and i like the result. to me, this is canon.

bonus content:

some memes: the normie memes vs the deep cuts (i laughed so hard while making the richard meme and nobody cared and i got so sad)

tagging some people here:

@vaaaaaiolet @wokelander @dollfacefantasy @rigorwhoring @lipglossanon @pupwashing @leonkennedybreedingkink

+anyone else who would like to join!

My favorite part of every Warriors' song

(it was really hard to chose some of those)

Survive the night Bronx. Everything that Bronx says.

Roll Call "As far as you can see from the top of the wonder wheel..." I just LOVE the way Cleon sings this bit.

Warriors Cypher "Ajax, and I'm sick of runnin' off at the mouth, I got two f's for ya'll, fuck around find out!"

Make Way For Cyrus The way Masai says Riffs.

If You Can Count "Imagine what I had to do to stay on top!" I love, LOVE the power with which she sings this. I non ironically almost cry sometimes

Derailed "IT WAS THE WARRIORS! THE WARRIORS! THE WARRIORS SHOT CYRUS" very simple: when I've read "KIM DRACULA as LUTHER" I almost fainted. This line stuck in my head forever. I love the rest of the song but I would be straight up lying.

Woodlawn Cemetery "Rembrandt, just before we go, make our mark and let them know that we were here tonight!" love how this is sang waaa

Leave The Bronx Alive Everything in Spanish, but specially "ASESINA'! ASESINA' VIREN PA CA!"

A Track Fire And A Phone Call "Hey, I found Coney Island on this map :D Figure out how many stops to union square 😼 Come on, that's high math for Rembrandt 😅"

Going Down EVERYTHING! Joking but not joking, "Light one match, don't be scared, you just might watch the world burn!" I like how gentle he sounds here, contrasting with the rest of the song. I imagine it as him trying to genuinely calm Cropsy's fears down in his own distorted crazy way

Orphan Town "CHICKEEEEEEENS! WHAT A COUP FULL OF CHICKEEEEENS!" and, ofc, the way she says buck buck buck buck buck buck BCACK!

Call Me Mercy "LOOK AT THESE WOMEN!" I STG I ALMOST CRY EVERY TIME also the way this song uses basically the same notes as "Burn" 👀 I could even play the main chords just by using the sheet for Burn and changing the order.

Still Breathin' "Gun? Where's the gun? If I am guilty then where's my gun?" and the rest of Cleon's rap. I want to sing like that when I grow up.

Quiet Girls Them being described as "the House of Hurricanes" rather than as a gang; "We live at the edge of the dark but we still make a mark 'cause we spark and we are who we AAAAAAAAAHAHAAAARE~" I'M OBSESSED WITH THIS LINES YOU GUYS HAVE NO IDEA I WRITE IT EVERYWHERE I CAN

Outside Of Gray's Papaya "You got a problem?🙄🤨 hey I got fifty cents 😀☝ I got a dollar 😊 We gotta find another train 😐❌"

Sick Of Running When Ajax and Mercy sing together "No I'm not scared of what's dangerous! I'll ride or die 'til the day comes, I won't be done in! I'M SICK OF RUNNIN'!"

Park At Night Ajax roasting Barnes the cop. Every single little swearing she throws at him "HA but you wanted to play right? OLD ASS PREDATOR, looking for prey right? BITCH! You allergic to daylight? Talkin' that shit but got nothin' to say right? STAY RIGHT THERE, SMILE MOTHERFUCKER!" ah, so satisfying

Luther Interlude "This is fun! Kingdom come and thy/my will be done" it's so funny how Cropsy's worshiping him here- seriously like, get a partner that looks at you and talks abt you in the way Cropsy does abt Luther bcs HOLY SHIT GIRL WTF'S YOUR PROBLEM?

Cardigans "Matching cardigans? That's cute. You don't wear something like that unless you really care. About looking a fool"

We Got You When it finally ends. I'm joking, I like the little "you sing?" but that's about it 😐

A Light Or Somethin' The whole concept, ofc, because I was NOT expecting a lesbian duet when I listened to it in the first time. The part that was the turn for me to realize what was happening was, of course, "I'm loyal to yoooou~ ... What's wrong? Kiss me :)". After that everything about this song is so perfect that I honestly don't know what to pick

We Got You (Reprise) "Every subway in the city has graffiti so speedy that you never see the pieces right" This is one of my favorite takes in the entire musical. It feels so close to home, you know? And I think this speaks for every artist living in a big city, trying to grasp at every little piece of art among the chaos of urban life. (It's almost ironical how this line is in my second less favorite song-)

Somewhere In The City "And someday in the city we won't have to run each time a broken person gets ahold of a gun! Breathe easy every night knowing we'll see the sun" I was in need of this hope. I really was.

Reunion Square Oh boy... where do I even begin? I could just put the entire song here, but I'll put the part that makes me cry hard every time, especially knowing what happens after this: "I'm sick of being afraid of you... And what you have the power to do! You're the baddest gang in the city, that's true. Ha! And your color's fuckin' powder blue." (I was literally on the verge of tears just from listening to it again to write this) I think the samples used in the police chase part also deserve mentioning. They really are very similar to those in La Haine, I'm SURE that's a reference. Anyway, despite of the sadness, this is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever listened to.

Same Train Home My first instinct is to say "THE KISS!!" but, although I LOVED it, the most emotional part for me was when the DJ starts to sing in first person, including herself instead of just narrating the scene. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is the only part this happens: "We're taking the same train home "We're all in the same train home [...] "As we pass beyond King's Highway just before the break of day, we say MAKE WAY FOR US!"

Finale This is a HUGE song with a lot of things happening so I'll just put all of my fav lines here: "There it is, the top of the wonder wheel... the Warriors are here" "Spoke truth to power in our darkest hour!" (literally cried) "Cleon! Our leader... who dreamed of something sweeter!" (love how this is sung) "Warriors come out to play-ay!" (progressively more insane and holy shit someday I'll be as strong as Kim Dracula's throat) "POW! All out of quarters no more extra lives!" (such a nerd) "One on one! Drop the gun. (Or you're a chickeeeeeen?)" (he is) "Sand in your eye, hate in your heart, you only know how to break shit apart! Your crew is scared of you, see how it scatters- My crew would DIE FOR ME, loyalty matters!" "Yeah hi it's Masai 🕴🏿"

ALL THE WARRIORS SINGING TOGETHER!

[literallymercy]

i have let this idea of swan having a plush absolutely consume my soul so here we go

Operation Signet

Three years had passed since Swan had joined the group. The bond they shared had only grown stronger, and each member had become a key part of Swan’s life. The group had grown close, a family of sorts, and Mercy and Swan had become inseparable. Swan’s plush swan—a simple stuffed toy she’d clung to since Cleon found her under the boardwalk—had become a part of her. It was her comfort, her constant, her reminder of stability.

But today, as they gathered in the main room, Cleon noticed something—the plush was starting to look worse for wear. The once-white fabric was faded and worn, the stitching unraveling in places. It was clear to her that Swan would never part with it willingly, and if she had any chance of getting it cleaned, they would need to be subtle.

“We need to wash it,” Cleon said softly, speaking to Ajax, Cochise, and Fox as they sat around the table. “Swan won’t let anyone touch it, but it’s starting to get too dirty. We’ve got to be quick.”

“I got it,” Cochise said with a grin. “Mercy, you’re up. You’re the only one who can distract her for long enough.”

Mercy sighed, looking over at the plush swan still tightly held in Swan’s arms across the room. “I don’t know. She’s gonna be mad if we mess with it. She’s been attached to that thing forever.”

“She’ll understand, but we can’t just tell her to give it up,” Cleon replied. “She’s gotta be distracted while we wash it. You’re the best at that.”

“Fine,” Mercy said reluctantly. “But if she gets upset, I’m blaming you all.”

Mercy walked over to Swan, who was sitting comfortably on the couch, her plush swan nestled securely beside her. She sat down next to her, giving a soft smile.

“Hey, Swan,” Mercy said gently. “How about we get some fresh air? Maybe take a little walk? I think it’ll do you good.”

Swan turned her head slowly, her fingers curling tightly around the plush swan. She hesitated, then shook her head. “I’m... not sure. I don’t want to leave it.”

Mercy smiled warmly, putting a gentle hand on Swan’s shoulder. “I’ll stay right with you. Just a little walk, we’ll come right back. I promise. You could use a break, and so could I.”

Swan looked down at the plush again, her expression softening, but she finally nodded. “Alright. Just for a little while.”

Mercy helped her to her feet, wrapping an arm around her waist to guide her outside. The others worked fast.

Once Mercy and Swan were out of sight, Cleon, Ajax, Fox, and Cochise quickly retrieved the plush swan from the couch. They moved swiftly to the laundry area, taking care not to damage it further as they gently soaked it in warm water, hand-washing the fabric with the utmost care.

“Think she’ll be mad?” Ajax asked as she helped rinse it clean.

“I’m sure she’ll understand,” Cleon said, glancing at the plush. “But she needs to know we care about her, and this thing is falling apart.”

Once it was washed, they laid it out to dry, careful to make sure it was returned to its original state. It was clear Swan had an attachment to the plush, and they all knew it wasn’t just a toy—it was a symbol of the safety she’d found with them.

When Mercy and Swan finally returned, the group was silent, watching the two of them carefully. Swan immediately looked toward the couch where she had left her plush, but when she saw it was no longer there, her heart dropped.

“Where is it?” she asked, her voice quiet but filled with uncertainty.

The room went silent. Mercy stepped forward, her hands instinctively reaching for Swan’s.

“We... cleaned it,” Mercy said gently. “It was getting too dirty. It needed to be washed before it fell apart. We didn’t want you to lose it.”

Swan stood frozen, her face pale. Her hand slowly reached out to the empty space where the plush had been. She blinked, but no words came. Her eyes watered as her fingers brushed against the couch, as if she could still feel the plush’s presence.

“I... I didn’t want you to,” Swan whispered, her voice trembling. “It’s... mine.”

“I know,” Mercy said softly, her voice filled with regret. “I’m sorry, Swan. We didn’t mean to upset you.”

Swan’s lips trembled as she sat back down on the couch. The hurt was clear in her eyes, but she didn’t say anything more. Her gaze drifted downward, and she closed her eyes, holding back tears.

For the rest of the afternoon, Swan retreated into herself. She stayed on the couch, her plush swan now in her lap, and the group gave her space. Mercy sat beside her, her hand lightly resting on Swan’s, but Swan didn’t speak.

Mercy felt her heart break for Swan. She knew how much the plush meant to her, how it was tied to memories of safety and stability. And now, it was as if a piece of that safety had been taken from her.

By evening, the silence still lingered. Swan barely touched her dinner, her gaze distant as she sat quietly, the plush still pressed close to her chest. The room felt heavier, everyone unsure of how to break the tension.

Finally, during dinner, Swan broke her silence.

“They mate for life,” she said softly, her voice so quiet at first that no one could be sure they’d heard her.

The group froze, all eyes on her. Mercy glanced at Swan, her heart swelling with relief at the sound of her voice.

“Swans,” Swan continued, her voice a little stronger now. “They find a mate, and they stay with them forever. They don’t leave each other.”

Ajax, who had been idly picking at her food, suddenly jumped at the sound of Swan’s words. She hadn’t heard Swan speak like this in weeks.

“Whoa,” Ajax said, blinking. “You’re full of facts tonight, huh?”

Swan didn’t respond right away, but her eyes flicked to Mercy, a small smile tugging at the corners of her lips. Mercy squeezed her hand, silently reassuring her.

“You... you didn’t leave me,” Swan whispered to Mercy, the words barely audible but clear.

“No, I never will,” Mercy replied, her voice filled with warmth. “I’m here. I’m not going anywhere.”

Swan nodded, the tears in her eyes still there but no longer as threatening. She felt understood again. She felt safe again.

And as the evening went on, the tension slowly melted away. Swan didn’t speak much more, but the others could tell she was starting to heal. Mercy stayed close, always within arm’s reach, never letting Swan feel alone.

Later that night, as the group began to wind down, Cleon pulled Mercy aside for a quiet conversation.

“You did good,” Cleon said, her voice low. “She just needed time. She’ll get used to it.”

Mercy nodded, her expression soft. “I just wanted her to know that we didn’t mean to hurt her. I want her to be happy.”

“She’ll be alright. Just give her time,” Cleon reassured her.

And as the group settled in for the night, Mercy and Swan shared a quiet moment in bed, the plush swan safely nestled between them. Swan whispered one more fact about swans before closing her eyes, and this time, Mercy whispered back.

“Yeah, just like us,” Mercy said, brushing a strand of hair from Swan’s face. “We’ll always be together.”

I love the cuties and have just let this little swan plush idea consume me whole

written post album, maybe like a week or 2 after when the whole gang is still treading on eggshells a bit

yes fox and ajax are here i don't wanna kill them off 🥹

[all-our-turf]

(🌀)- Honestly for any of the warriors you would like. I’m just interested if you have any thoughts for this headcanon question.

[ 🌀 ]ㅤ.ㅤdo they have a recurring dream or nightmare ?

i think all the warriors definitely get nightmares after the events of canon, especially surrounding fox's death for those that were there.

swan gets them the most frequently just because she feels so much guilt and blame for that night and refuses to talk about it, so it comes out in her nightmares.

cleon wasn't with them so she gets nightmares about finding out her warriors didn't make it home. i think cleon was also the most affected by watching cyrus get shot and the immediate chaos in van cortland park.

once ajax gets home she has nightmares about prison and the park.

as funny as the "he bit me" lines are, i think cowgirl has nightmares about the others getting hurt at the bizzie's loft because she blames herself for putting them in that situation.

this one is in general and not tied to that night, but i think rembrandt spends so much time climbing and high up that she frequently gets dreams of missing a step or falling - you know like the ones that jerk you awake?

send me a character + hc prompt from this list

[gay-barbarian]

New Swercy fic just dropped! They're totally the kind of people who gets "engaged" with no plan to ever get married (someone said almost the same thing somewhere on here but I can't remember who so kudos to them). It's just a tiny something on this Friday night.

It was a cold winter night, the kind where you can see your breath and hopefully some snow. Cowgirl, Fox, Ajax, Rembrandt, Swan and Mercy were out to celebrate Ajax return from her last trip in jail. Swan didn't wanna be there but she had learned over the past two years that she simply couldn't say no to Mercy when she really wanted something. Of course it didn't help that Mercy threatened to withhold kisses if Swan didn't agree with her. Something that the others must never learn about, especially Ajax. Swan would never hear the end of it.

The night was well advanced when Swan and Mercy finally made their way out of the club. Cowgirl had left with some dude an hour ago winking at the rest of the gang before exiting. Fox had been drinking a lot all night, so much that Ajax and Rembrandt came back from the dancefloor to the youngest warrior sleeping in a half eaten plate of nachos from which Mercy was still picking. Ajax and Rembrandt decided to bring Fox home for her own safety. Ajax put Fox on her back and all three walked out the door together. Rembrandt waved Swan and Mercy goodbye with a smile while Ajax was grumbling and readjusting Fox so she wouldn't slip off.

Once they were alone, Mercy had begged Swan to dance with her. They danced for two songs, Mercy moving all around while Swan just tried to keep her close to her, before they made their way out.

They weren't that far from the apartment they shared with Cleon but Mercy was walking particularly slowly that night so much that Swan had to stop in her tracks a few times to wait for her. “You doing okay Mercy? You're usually faster than me, practically running everywhere.” Swan asked in a teasing voice, turning to her girlfriend.

“Don’t worry, I'm fine! I just don't want to go home yet, I wanna enjoy our time together” Mercy tried to explain, her mind clearly occupied by something else.

Swan cocked her eyebrow “You know we can enjoy our time together somewhere warmer right? I'm freezing my ass off waiting for you”

Mercy walked a bit faster until she got close enough to take Swan’s hand. Swan gently squeezed Mercy’s hand in her own and tried to move on but Mercy stayed put and looked around them. They were alone, which made sense considering it was the middle of the night and the area wasn't occupied even during the day. Mercy took a deep breath.

“What's wrong?” Asked a confused Swan now fully turned toward Mercy watching around her to see if she could spot anything.

“No no no nothing's wrong! I just… I have something for you!” Mercy quickly said, letting go of Swan’s hand to search her pockets.

Swan looked at her perplexed.

“Ah! Got it!” Mercy exclaimed as she fished out a little box from her pocket with a huge smile and looked back at Swan. “So you know how we've been talking a lot about the future lately and how the last two years were the best we both had probably our whole lives and how much I love you? Do you know how much I love you Swan? Anyway, the future. I know we both don't wanna get married and that’s not what this is cause fuck that, but I was thinking and I know I wanna stay with you forever and that everything is easier when I have you with me so don't see this as a proposal but as a promise.” Mercy opened the box still having a strong eye contact with Swan that was frozen in place. In the box was a simple bare golden ring, inside the ring was a tiny inscription that could read “my light”.

“I told you I was loyal to you, didn't I?”

Swan looked at Mercy, the woman she loved. The one she wanted to spend the rest of her life with. And couldn't think of anything to say that would be enough to explain everything she was feeling at the moment. She wasn't used to hoping for people to stick around and for someone else to bring her so much joy so she settled for the only thing she knew was true "I love you"

Mercy laughed. A sound that Swan could listen to over and over again until the end of the world. Mercy stood face to face with Swan, their breath mixing and wrapped her arms around her neck. "I love you too. Now instead of standing there doing nothing, why don't you kiss me?"

Swan took her by the waist and closed the small gap between them, tenderly kissing her before deepening the kiss. Time seemed to stop for an instant as both of them just basked in the moment. After some time, Mercy broke the kiss and stepped back just enough to look into Swan's eyes.

"You're stuck with me forever." Mercy said in an exhale as she softly rested her forehead on Swan's. “I know” was the only reply.

They took their time walking home talking about anything and everything, Swan fidgeting with her new ring whenever Mercy let go of her hand.

At the next Warriors meeting, Swan was standing behind Cleon as she talked about that week's jobs. Swan watched every member of the gang to see if they all understood what was expected from them. When her gaze stopped on Mercy she smiled softly and instinctively started turning her new ring on her finger. From her peripheral vision, she saw Rembrandt look at her hands with a knowing smile before the tagger went back to her drawing. Swan got slightly red and let go of her ring immediately as Fox and Cochise looked at her confused and Mercy tried her best not to audibly laugh.
