The Song Behind Bars.

Six of crows x Fem!reader.

(Reader being…Well, you’ll see.)

Notes: honestly had a very small idea and it turned into this. I’ve been editing this for a while, it’s 5:45 am here…So sorry for the mistakes.

The readers appearance: Purple eyes, purple spots. Other then that you look as you do.

Warnings: Blood, killing, and I mean a lot of killing, gory, kinda bad writing but I was trying sometimes new, the crows being hurt, the reading being held hostage, the reader being powerful as hell. Spelling mistakes.

“Do you remember where the door is?” Kaz asked the smaller boy beside him, his voice hushed a quiet. “Hmm, the one on the left of the bar.” Wylan played with the collor of his shirt, it was itchy and tighter then he had wanted.

But he had to look the part, they all did. Kaz was wasn’t that much different then what he usually dresses like. In fact all of the clothes he had on were in his dresser beside his bed, but he rarely touched them. His vest black and silver, his coat black but the sleeves wived with red silk, matching his button up shirt underneath. And normal black pants, his favorite pair actually.

“What do you think is going to be showed?” Wylan asked curiously. “I don’t care as long as we get the necklace.” Kaz was quick to reply and end the conversation. But wylan wasn’t satisfied but he stay quiet and let his own mind wonder.

Soon they spit up, wylan going straight and into the workers room and kaz to the entrance with all the other visitors. He had been giving a marker to say what number he was. It was a auction, a hard one to get into but their place was already payed for. A man needed this necklace stole, not payed for.

Nina was standing behind the bar, cleaning the cups that were going to be used. The place was packed with the wealthiest people and the killers, a perfect match. But she was there to get them all out, since she had access to the back door, the only way out.

“I must say I look devilishly handsome.” Jesper popped his collor and sat down at the table with kaz. Kaz just rolled his eyes and looked around at room.

He looked up at the railing and saw Inej carefully hiding in the dark, he smirked and looks down before anyone caught him. “This suit fits me so well, the violent feeling- Oh, thank Nina for picking it out.” Jesper went on about himself.

Soon began the showing. Small items of value were first to get the audiences wanting more, some old paintings and weapons. Kaz was keeping his eye out for the necklace but it was never shown. Wylan come over with a tray of drinks in his hands and set glasses down, he smiled at them like he did all the other people and walked off to the next. Kaz looked down at the glass and saw a small note under, smirking he had a peek at it.

“The workers say the showcase is almost over, they are acting suspiciously. We were told to all leave when the sword of bran comes out, I think this whole thing might be a trap. -Nina.”

Glancing back at the bar Nina stared at him with worry in her eyes. She looked over at the door to hint at him to leave, kaz shook his head and looked back at the stage. Jesper asked what was wrong and he was givin the note. He thought it could also be a trap but also wanted to stay, he did love the food.

“Next up, The sword of bran.” The man shouted as he was given a covered blank and set it on the showcase. “The great black sword of Bran Helster himself, he used to kill the golden king.” The speaker man pulled the cover to reveal the big sword. Kaz noticed the men that guarded the stage lean over to talk to one another.

Next was the workers who left their place and the crowd to head in the back, nina and a man behind the bar stayed in place. The man with a black beard beside Nina whispered something to her and placed something in her hand. Nina’s face drop and went into a slight panic, she looked at kaz with worry. “We need to leave.” She mouthed at him.

He was never one to like a failed plan, the price for this job was high. Whatever was going to happen his crew could take it, all they need was that damn necklace. “It’s seeming like a trap.” Jesper keep his voice low and he earned a glare from kaz.

Wylan was no longer where he needed to be, but he couldn’t go back because it would look suspicious. Nina didn’t know what was about to happen or why she needed earplugs. But it wasn’t going to be good.

Once the bidding for the sword was done the man went off to the side and talk to someone. He smiled and walked back as the lights dimmed, and a sound of something being moved was slightly heard. “Now ladies and gentlemen, we come to a close for the night with a big ending.” He clapped his hands together.

“For hundreds of years we have wondered if saints were real, until the sun summoner appeared. What I have today was only a tale in story books, but what we have here is real.” He flashed one last smile before the lights came back on and something big hid under a cover. Kaz leaned up and so did jesper, this was very strange and to big to be what they wanted.

“The Seducer of the sea.” The cover was pulled off to reveal a big cage, one that would hold a bird but it was too big. At it was not a bird who was trapped in it. A woman with a short dress stood in the cage. Gasp throughout the crowd as they looked at her skin, purple spots over her legs. The people in the first row could see the color of her eyes, the same color as the spots.

“She could make sweet music with her voice, one that draws you in and could make anyone fall into her trap.” But that was ironic as she was the one in the trap. Kaz should have known what was coming but he was to focus on the shiny thing wrapped around her neck. She was wearing what they had come for.

“Is that?..” Jesper trailed off and kaz only gave a slight nod. “How are we going to get that?” But Kaz didn’t have a answer. This was not planned for and but he could work around it, he just needed a moment.

“And you might be wondering if I’m telling the truth. How could you tell if she is what we say?” He spoke and moved to the end of the stage. “She is has a song, we have train her well.” And with the he hopped out of sight. The men below put their hands up to their ears. Nina hated it but she did as she was told and put in the earplugs before the girl could sing. She had to stay out of it so she could get out the others.

The girl opened her mouth and a beautiful voice came out, it was so intoxicating. Kaz tried to cover his ears but it didn’t work because he already wanted more. Jesper was count up in her voice and stared at her, eyes going blank until kaz was too. That’s when something else was heard, screams like torture souls tried to break them. It was to loud for everyone.

Whatever was happening was having more of a affected on them. Blood started to leak out of the crowds ears and eyes, it was crushing everything from the inside. “Shit.” Lucky it wasn’t as bad for kaz and Jesper yet, since they sat in the back but Nina had to acted fast. She looked over to the man beside her and hit him in the face as hard as she could. He fall into the floor and she apologized and took off his plugs and ran to her friends. She place on in each ear, but she only had two.

She heard shouting behind her and looked back as the guards jump on the stage. The crowd of people fell from the seats from blood lose and the eyes in their heads popping. Blood started to leak from Jesper eyes and kazs ears bled more. “Saints, I’m sorry.” She said and stuck her finger into their uncover ears to try block out the noise.

On stage they pointed their guns at the girl who turned to them, her voice stopped and she looked at them. She smirked at them as if they had no real power over her. A roaring scream came out of her lungs and pointed her powers at them, only them and enough to get passed the earplugs. Within seconds they had dropped to the floor with bursts eyes.

Nina shook her friends and tried to wake them up, she looked to to see if Inej was still alive but she saw no one. She prayed she wasn’t dead and on the floor. Huffing she raised her hands up to kazs cheeks and strike it, hoping to wake him up. “Wake up!” She shouted. Kaz slowly opened his eyes and took a second to realize what had happen. Wylan poked his head out of the door and saw the people on the floor and a unconscious Jesper, he ran quickly over. Not caring for anything else.

“Jesper.” Wylan grabbed ahold of his boyfriends arm and shook him as tears picked up in his eyes. “Jesper! Wake up.” He wiped off the blood off his cheeks and eyes. He was still alive, his chest falling and his heartbeat still beating for Nina to hear. Kaz groaned when he sat up, his head hurt like something was crushing his skull. And his ears were ringing and wouldn’t stop.

“Hands up!” The group turned to the sound of men. They stared down the barrels of guns that were pointed at them, more guards have shown up. “Look, we have no clue what’s happening.” Nina push towards them back but backed up as they shouted at her. There was no way to get out, no where to run. If they tried to make a run for it they would be shot, kaz knew that. Jesper was out and it would be hard to carry him back.

Humming caught all of their ears and guns were no longer pointed at them but behind them. They a looked at the girl how had a sharp look, her hips swaying as she stared at the armed men. She looked mad. She sang again and the men tried to fight it but couldn’t move their fingers to pull the triggers. The crows covered their ears to keep her out of their heads but they soon realized it wasn’t affecting them. Nina threw jespers arm over her shoulder and wylan followed her.

Kaz looked at the necklace the mystery woman had on. “Kaz, let’s go.” Nina broke him out of his his trance. “We need that necklaces.” Even as he almost died, he still had his eyes on the price. Nina huffed at him and went to yell at him but the sounds of bones cracking stopped her. The guards necks twisted and fell on the ground, the woman hands up and smirked at the lifeless bodies below her. The crows hearts stop when she looked over at the team.

“Where am I?” She asked calmly, no aggression in her voice like she didn’t just slaughter many. “Ketterdam.” Kaz replied because he was not afraid as the others, but he was wary. The woman hummed in response and looked at the unconscious man. “He’ll live.” They wanted to smack her, they already knew that. Wylan wanted to yell at her because this was her fault but he stood no chance.

She looked away from them and walked away not interested in them anymore. They were no threat to her and she considered them innocent. Her mind started to run and her stomach began to turn. Killer. Killer. Killer. Her inner voice scream as she tries not to look at the blood on the ground. She did what she had to do to get away. She opened the door to leave, as soon as it was open and before she could react, she was hit with something and her mind blacked out.

Her body feel back onto the floor and Inej steps over her body, nose having a small bleed but that was it. “Hope I wasn’t to late.” She looked over at her friends and their face washed with relief that she was still alive. “You’re okay.” Nina shouted. Inej nodded and then she saw Jesper. Inej rushed over and looked concerned, “He’ll live.” Wylan said. Kaz walked over with a tight grip on his cane to keep himself up.

He looked down at the girl below him. He remembered the stories of the women who lived out in the waters, killing the men on bouts. Their looks just as beautiful as their songs, but a ugliness inside. She was clearly beautiful, and he had seen the darkest and witness her song. She was a siren but she had no tail, and gills. He leaned down despite the pain and grabbed ahold of the necklace.

“Fuck.” He shouted as a pain shot through him, it was shocking and felt horrible. He let go of the necklace as soon as he grabbed ahold of it. Kaz tried picking it up with his cane but just it traveled through it.

“We need to leave.” Inej came beside him. Kaz looked at her and to the others who carried Jesper, already heading to the door.

“She comes with us.”

SPACER APOCALYPSE

Y/n a ruthless thief, raised by Silvers pirate crew.

Jim an Intersollar academy graduate and spacer.

Childhood friends split in enemies.

3 years old:

Sarah placed her hands at her hips when she heard the voices in Jims room, how the younh boy laughed and the girl giggled.

"James Hawkins" Sarah said as she opened the door looking at the two kids, both putting on their best puppy dog eyes.

Jim laughed bit when his mother lifted him in her arma before the woman turned to Y/n.

The little girls young doe eyes looked at her, her greyish eyes being amazed when the book of pirate storys opened once again.

The kids played before Sarah led the young her back to her room and tucking her in.

"Do you think pirates are real?" She asked while the woman turned her night light on.

"I think, everything is possible if you believe it strong enough" Sarah said before closing the door.

22 years later:

And boy did the girl believe, as one of the most feared pirates in galaxy, her crew quite large but she only trusted few people and her black ship with the old sails drew attention and fear in any dock.

When Jims father left, he draged her with and soon she was on her own untill Jhon Silver found her and raised her.

She had seen Jim at the search for treasure planet but refused to get on the ship.

Of course she felt bad for never returning or even writing a letter to note she was okey but she had a life, a reputation.

So when the pirate meet was now right behind the overwhelming doors of the Inn she so dreadfuly wished she would have played sick and not come.

The black dress reached above her ankles flattering her greyish blue skin tone and tje blacl boots made of same lether as her belt and pirate hat that sat on her grey hair.

She entered after few bug breaths making her way straight upstairs to the bathroom only to pass her old bedroom on the way.

She moved to the door, a small crack left open the same way it was when she was draged away by the man she barely ever spoke with.

She opened the door steping inside, it was exactly the same as it was when ahe left.

The pink walls and white forniture with all her stuffed animals and as she picked up her pink teddy bear with an eyepatch and a pirate hat that Sarah had made for her she was reminded of the days she tried to be a good pirate the type thay stole for the poor and suported everyone and her gaze fell to the mirror and she closed her eyes shut.

"Hello?" Sarahs voice ringed in her ears as she slowly turned to the woman, the teddy bear in hand "oh Y/n"

The woman didnt waste a second to take the girl in a warm embrace, though in her own eyes Y/n has changed much, her skin covered in scars one marking her collor bone and another her lip but in Sarahs eyes she was still the little girl with doe eyes thay dreamed of pirates and adventures.

"Just wait untill Jim, knows you are-"

"Im not. Im not back its just for tonight" Y/n said looking down before placing the bear back and leaving to her ship.

"Captain, look what we found snooping around the deck" one of the men said beforr steping away to make a clear view for their boss.

"Leave" she ordered the men and all scattered away to the party, she was not sure if it was fear or exitment for party that made them move so quickly but her mind didnt dwell on it too much when she looked at the man tied to her main mast.

He was clearly taller and the usual pony tain was now oddly suiting him as he stared right at her, his blue eyes surely burning holes in her tinted skin.

"What are you doing here" she asked as she untied him.

"Is that anyway to say hi to an old friend" Jim asked as he watched the girl lean on the railing of her boat taking her hat off.

"A friend? You have been making my life a shit hole for past few years with your whole intersollar acadamy graduate bullshit" she sais harsly crossing her arms as he leaned on the main mast his usual smirk still there.

She could have bet he had the same one while he was watching her strugle to start the ship after he messed with wires on it a few months back.

But boy did that smirk had an effect on her.

"Yes cause a friend would have at least sent a note to let people know they are fine"

"Well i thought you guys thought that i- oh whatever just leave" she said trowing her arms up before leaving for her bedroom in captains room earning a chuckle from the man as he followed her stoping her at the steps traping her between his hands.

"No no no, i deserve an apology, i was very worried" he said leaning in but she sliped away fastly before she mumbled something among the lines of an apology her voice nervouse as she tried closing her doors but he went in anyways now backing her slowly up "and another one, cause i was so hurt when i saw you were okey but no note" he pouted his hand flying to his heart in a mocking way before he caught the girls waist when she triped over her own feet.

His forhead touched hers while his free hand was on her neck as he tried to find her eyes.

"Im sorry" she mumbled

"Its okey, i forgive you" he said before kissing the cornor of her mouth and moving to centre but she pulled back.

"This is-"

"Wrong? Yeah i know, it like spacer apocalypse but since when do we care" he said before smashing his lips on her.

His lips.

Her lips.

Apocalypse.

Consequences

whumptober2023 day 17-collar fandom- Danny phantom TW- electric shock summary- Danny tries to get the collar off

ao3 whumptober23 masterlist part 4 of SIANT

Danny poked around the edges of the collar. There had to be a way to take if off, but he couldn;t feel any obvious latches. It must lock or unlock with a remote. 

But he didn’t have the remote! He needed to get it off. He needed to escape. 

His fingers traced the collar again. There was a thin seam near the back that he could just barely get his fingernail in. 

He tried pulling the two ends apart, but he couldn’t wrap his fingers around the collar since it sat so tightly against his throat. 

He took a deep breath, placing his fingers near the seam. Then he concentrated on the cold of his core. It was hare. The collar made it difficult to access his core, but if he could get just enough…

He felt frost spread from his fingers. He pressed them tighter against the seal, willing the frost to spread into the device.

He was panting, brow furrowed in concentration. The frost was seeping into the device. Just a little more. Come on. He could do it. He just needed to focus. Just a little more.

Then the lights turned on, and Danny’s eyes flew open as he dropped his hands, willing the frost to melt.

They stopped in front of his cage.

“It feels a little colder in here.” The agent stared at the collar around his neck. “That definitely looks like frost. What do you think?”

He crouched down in front of the cage and Danny scooted  as far back as he could. 

The cage opened and Danny’s breathing picked up.

Danny pressed himself against the back, but Agent E just reached in and yanked him forward by his hair, pressing his face against the side of the cage. Danny trembled as the man felt around his collar.

“We’d heard rumors about Phantom having power over ice. This just confirms it. But, Phantom,” He sighed. “You really shouldn’t have done that.”

The agent shoved him back and Danny hit his head against the cold concrete floor.

Danny opens his eyes and sees the man take out the remote.

No! No! Please, I'm sorry, I won’t do it again! Danny begs silently trying to convey his meaning with his eyes and gestures, his words trapped behind the muzzle.

The agent looks at him almost sadly, “You need to learn that actions have consequences, Phantom.”

He presses the button, and Danny’s screams are trapped behind his teeth

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

When Danny returns to the land of the conscious everything hurts. The collar buzzes again and another flare of pain shoots through him. Breathing’s difficult through his partially clogged nose. He must have it when he was thrashing earlier for it to have bled.

The collor is still giving off a low level buzz of electricity, not necessarily enough to hurt, but enough for his body to keep trembling and seizing from the shocks. Every now and then, it gives a bigger shock.

He doesn’t know how long it lasts before he hears people enter the room.

He can hear voices, though they're muffled by the ringing in his ears.

Then one person leaves and the other approaches the cage.

He hears a click, and then the collar blessedly shuts off. Danny slumps, whimpering quietly.

“You brought this on yourself, Phantom. I thought you’d already learned your lesson, but I guess I was wrong.”

Danny tries to open his eyes, but they only open a tiny bit.

“And while the shock was an immediate consequence, there are also some long term consequences that we are going to have to apply.”

Danny sees the agent take something small and metallic out, but he can’t tell what it is through his blurry vision.

“The collar isn’t as powerful as we thought, that’s our fault. But don’t worry, we’ve found a solution that will keep you from giving in to the temptation to try to escape. Give me your wrists.”

Danny didn’t move. His whole body was trembling, and he didn’t think he’d be able to extend his wrist even if he tried.

“Don’t make me hurt you even more, Phantom.”

Danny shakily slid one of his wrists across the cage.

“There we go, good job.”

Danny trembled, but the agent just picked his wrist up gently and attached what Danny now knew was a cuff.

He groaned as it activated, feeling more of his core get locked away.

“Shsss. It’s going to be alright. Now, your other wrist.”

He felt dizzy.

“Phantom.”

Danny managed to slide his other wrist an inch forward.

The agent sighed, but reached in to grab his other wrist. “I understand you’re not feeling well, but you still need to try and obey.” 

The other cuff clicked into place.

He breathed in sharply through his nose, keening.

Everything was wrong. He felt disconnected from his own ectoplasm, from his body. He couldn’t even feel his other half hidden away.

And he was so cold, and not in the way he was used to. This felt like that time when he was five years old and his parents had dropped him and Jazz off to play in the park while they worked even though it was freezing. He’d walked out onto the frozen lake, marveling at being able to stand on water before the ice had cracked and he’d fallen in. He wasn’t sure what had happened after that. One moment he’d been drowning, the next he was shivering in Jazz’s arms as she cried while carrying him home.

He doesn’t know how he can function like this. How long will he last, disconnected from his core except for the few times they allow it for their own experiments?

Everything aches and Danny barely registers Agent E running his fingers through his hair as he cries.

İ have a request

How would tadc react to a indie core reader?like you know like.. bright collors? İ would love to send photo about the indie core but you can find in Pinterest too

And maybe listening indie songs like Artick Monkeys (they are not same but it would be Interesting)

İ saw that you don't have tadc things yet and i though you are new at this, tell me if i am wrong, i loved your vibe, i like coquette and melanie too

꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷TADC x Indie!Reader꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷

Since you didn’t specify which characters, I picked the ones I was most interested in writing. If you’d like a part two, let me know💗

I’m also screaming because it deleted my drafts four times, so I’m so sorry if it seems rushed. I couldn’t really find any unfiltered photos of the style so I just made it with those colours in mind.

Warnings: none

Characters: Caine, Gangle, Pomni

now playing…

Caine

- He thinks you fit the circus’s theme really well! He’ll definitely compliment you a lot, even in front of people. And with a hand on your waist.

- Caine loves giving you gifts. It’s actually a bit much. You once heard a knock at your door and when you opened it, you were toppled by necklaces, shoes, and shirts. He didn’t even notice and thought you were somewhere else. He came back eventually, when he didn’t find you. Felt kind of bad… but not really. It’s the thought that counts!

- He wouldn’t let you dress him up a lot, he wants to look professional. Maybe at night time he’ll let you, but in the morning it’s all off. Don’t take it personally, he loves it, but it just doesn’t go with his whole look. He might have a bracelet hidden under his coat though.

- Expect knock off CDs or vinyls of your favorite bands or artists and something to play them. He’ll cut the explicit songs out or censor them. Imagine listening to a song and hearing BOING! in the middle of it..

- He’d learn a lot about your favorite artists and will end up yapping about it to anyone who will listen, including you.

Gangle

- She adores your style! It’s so pretty and it’s very artsy. She would definitely make you things like jewelry or something to put on your wall.

- I HC Gangle’s body weighs about as much as a humans, so she would let you dress her up. 100% wears a necklace of yours. Except during IHA, she doesn’t want it to break or get lost!

- She likes to draw or paint colourful things for you, and would give them to you when she’s done. Kind of shy about it, but that doesn’t make her gift less sincere. Actually, it makes it cuter.

- She finds your music taste interesting. It’s not really for her, but she’ll listen to it with you. It’s a nice bonding experience! Just make sure to listen to her music too.

Pomni

- If this wasn’t the circus, she wouldn’t think about it much, but it’s just so colourful… she doesn’t really like it a lot to be honest.

- It just reminds her of the place she’s stuck in now, especially if your clothes are as colourful as the filters, but that doesn’t mean she’ll tell you that. She doesn’t want you to feel bad.

- Pomni wouldn’t let you dress her up, honestly. She might wear a bracelet or a small clip to put on her hat, but not much more. It’s nothing against you, but it would just make her feel a bit more trapped. And plus you’d have to touch her to put on everything, and she’s not ready for that.

- She’s not against your style, it’s pretty! But it’s not for her. You might have to dial it down a little if you two are alone. Maybe with less bright colours.

- She actually thinks your music taste is nice though. She’ll lay next to you while you play it or read a book and just listen to it. It tickles her brain in a funny way. After an IHA that particularly drains her, she might go to her or your room and just curl up and listen to music with you.

Can you make it rain again

Re-write

It was a pleasing day at the small land of many secrets. The field filled with flowers of every kind know to man. Many collors going miles without an end. This place was known to one person, and that specific person was blessed by a god. She was blessed with the peace. She was blessed with this land, and she must care for it! And the very God that has given her the peace.

DreaXD, the lord of smp, the God of gods, and someone.... someone you could call a friend.

You have meet in a rather said surprising circumstances.

♡•♡•♡•♡•♡•♡•♡•♡•♡

It was a sunny day at the so called land of chaos. Or it's original name, The DSMP. You wished to have a simple picnic by yourself. Everything was prepared a day before. A simple red and white blanket, some sweets of course, and a book to read. You had it perfectly planned.

The place you picked was a small garden with your flowers, it was a hill behind your house. The perfec mix of sunny weather and a slight breeze was quite pleasant.

You gathered your basket and went on your way. It didnt take you long, of course but it still felt like a small journey. When you arrived at your destination, you calmly put the basket down, got the blanket out of it, and settled down.

It has been few hours since you settled down, few cookies Here and there along with a peace of strawberry cake you prepared. The weather was still the same. Until the slight breeze picked up, it soon became a small spiral of wind and leafs. A slight golden glow startet appering. The leafs picked up a human like shape and it soon became an actually human. Tho this human had wings...

You didn't mind, there were many hybrids on the smp. It was not weird to see a new one here and there.

The breeze came back to normality, the humanoid title his head to the side, as if he was questioning me.

"Do you wish to have some strawberry cake with me"

I offered. It was not polite to not offer a person some cake if you already had plenty in your basket.

The fellow hybrid looked even more confused, it was harder to say his expression because of the mask on his face, the lips were still visible. There was a small frown, but, eho am I to blame them.

"You are not... scared?"

They asked

"Should I be?"

I replied with a question of my own

"Yes."

"Do you plan on hurting me?"

"No."

"Okay then. My offer still stand mister. Do you wish to have some of my home made strawberry cake ?"

"Sure.."

I scooted over so they could have some space. Reaching into my backed I pulled out the cake, and sliced a peace of it. Putting it on a small plate decorated with flowers. I gave it to them, also not forgeting the fork.

The frown turned into a smile and they began to eat it. An pleased hum could been heard here and there. After eating in a comfortable silence. Both of you decided to chat.

That small picnic you had planned turned in to a talk with a creature, later learning that HE was a GOD.

The visit became often, from few days in month to few days im week. It soon tuned into a daily visit, and a part of your routine.

♡•♡•♡•♡•♡•♡•♡

As much as you wished to go outside, you simply couldn't. You wasted a lot of energy farming yesterday. You could have asked for the potato's.... but you do not wish to abuse his kindness.

The light started shining straight to your eyes true your blinds.

'I thought I closed them'

Slowly, you sat in your bed, the blankets mangled with your feet. Reaching towards the blind you separated them, letting the light finally come true. There were few birds to be heard, but your focus was only on the wind going in circles.

To an ordinary human, that would be a sign of bed Wether coming. But to you, to you this was a sign. XD was calling for you.

With an smiled you opened your window, letting some fresh air come along aswell.

"XD... I have to sadly tell you I cannot go outside today. As much as I wish to do so. I'm simply to tired. Please understand. If you wish, you can come to my home and we could talk in here"

The moment you have ended the sentence, the glow you have memorised has aperd in your room, few feet away from your bed frame.

"Well hello there XD"

"Hello y/n.. you look.... ravishing as always"

You could tell that was sarcasm... your hair is mangled and your clothes wrinkled.

"Oh shush mister, you saw me in worse conditions. Now do you wish to talk or muck me while I have awoken not less then 5 minutes ago."

"I wish to talk"

"Good choise"

You patted the bed and moved to side so he could have some space to lay in your bed. To his suprise, you didnt just start talking like you ussual do. Instead, you snuggled in his side. He was frozen for a moment. Then remember on of your many conversations.

'It's called cuddling XD, we do it ti show love, or when we just want to be hugged'

It was a simple one, but to the God... not that much.

Few minuts have passed, he ended the fight with his mind. Slowly picking you up and putting you on his chest, his wings writing around you protectively.

"XD"

"Yes y/n"

"I have a request"

Upon that, you snuggled in his chest a lil

"Ask my dear"

"Could you make it rain?"

"Well of course, anything for you"

Moving his hand away from your embrace, he flicked it once and the sunny weather soon turned in to a slight rain. .

This was nothing new yet nothing old. It was a simple act of him. You never asked for anything unless it's nesesery. So this small request was pleasing for XD. He was okay with it.

Small hum was heard and soon your breathing became slower and in a slight rhythm. You have fallen asleep.

I hope y'all like the re write. I will start doing requests tomorow, they are still open, just aint gona do them rn

Have a pleasant nigh or day.

Goodbye my dear

I made a design for the player character!! i'm stil unsure if i will ever add character customization.. i might do something where you pick out one of a few started characters and where you can change your hair and clothing (clothing are 100% gonna be customizable) to fit what you want to look like. but i kinda wanna add lore to the main character. but idk how i would do that without taking away the player from the story and making it another person instead of a game version of the person playing the game. i think i'l probably just make a few more of these designs with different skin collors and stuff.

[just-peach]

what do they make you do?

Hehe so they dont make me do anything first off i do things for them that i want to do ill send them needy rambles of the thoughts i have while getting off or theyll send me things to take advantage of my hand kink sometimes theyll pick out what toy i use and honestly one of my favorite memories with them is when i had sent a pic of me in some puppy gear with a leash and collor with the leash in my mouth and i didnt know but they were at a game night and they couldnt do anything about it until the end of the night i love it when i can surprise them with a bit of a tease hehe as well as they choose sometimes if i can cum or edge it really all deoends on how both of us are feeling

[rockintapper]

i remmember lookinf at the leaks for gl2 and then seeing the custom collors thing and going "wow!!! i get to pick my own colors!!!!!!" and then i saw the palette from gacha club and went "oh shit fr???"

uh gacha club color palette for life

— Summary: [♧Request♧]

— Pairing: Lucerys Velaryon x Servant!Reader

— Genre: Fluff♡

A/N: If you haven't already noticed, this is my first time ever making a fic, so i'm sorry if it's weird or messy? @loves1ckgirl, you can murder me in the comments for how long this took, i get it🥲 But I realy do hope ya'll enjoy it!

– [What you need to know]: h/c - hair color,, e/c - eye color,, Y/N - Your name.

Lucerys Velaryon. The second born son of Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen, and the Lord and heir to the throne of Drift mark. Lucerys had never met you in his life. He didn't even know that you existed. But still you found yourself staring at him from the sidelines, making it horribly obvious, as it was like hearts where forming in your eyes. But you knew it would never work. You where a maid. A mere servant. Or, as others would say, a low born. Hiding was just what you did, but a sweet thing you where. Helping if you could, and always having a sweet smile plastered on your face. Although it was required as a maid that you did always keep your emotions in check. But still you wished you could have some kind of interaction with the prince. And you would, just, not as you had expected.

It was quite a buisy day in the castle, with servants running around, baking, cleaning and all that stuff that needed to be done. You where walking down one of the halls, a plate of small cakes in your hands. You where walking quickly but carefully, as to not spill anything. You had gotten the task of bringing cakes to Princess Rhaenyra herself, as she had requested it. Why you had been picked, you didn't know.

What you did know, was that you where stressing quite a lot. Just the mere thought of being late or something else that would make the princess mad made you almost crumble at the thought. Although the princess was rumored to be quite generous. You still hurried anyway, and kept a small eye on the soft lemon cakes on the plate.

Lucerys, in the mean time, was walking around the castle halls, looking quite tired. He had a buisy day to say the least, and he had just ended the usual hard training session with Jacerys, his brother when he got the message that his mother wanted to have some words with him. He was massaging his wrist, where there was a newly applied bandage because Jace had managed to cut him. He muttered some heated words under his breath as he walked down the empty hall. But the next thing he knew, he was on the ground, his hand half up in his curly brown hair, massaging his scalp as he hissed. Had he just hit the wall or something? He couldn't have. "Seven hells" He muttered. He was clumsy but he wasn't that clumsy. But as he opened his eyes and expected to face the wall, he instead faced a girl, probably about his age, her hand against her forhead, holding it while grimacing slightly. If it had been someone else, like his older brother, Lucerys would have been mad to say the least, but instead he just found himself staring at you. A sweet looking girl, with beautiful h/c collored hair, and sweet e/c eyes. His cheeks grew hot, and he completely ignored the cakes that was splattered everywhere. He quickly got up and helped you to your feet. "Are you alright miss?".

This persons question caught you of guard, and you where about to reply when you looked up at them, to find yourself staring at Lucerys Velaryon himself. You almost choked, and your breath hitched. Well, so much for a good first impression. "Y-Your Grace!" You managed to say out loud, to Lucerys surprise. "I-I am so sorry, my prince!" You hurriedly bowed your head.

"It's alright, I see you where in a rush?" He said said. "Supposedly with these?" He questioned, finally noticing the yellow iced cakes on the floor.

"I-uh, yes.." You muttered, looking down at the floor embarassed. To your surprise, Lucerys started chuckling, holding his wounded hand tightly in his well hand.

Having heard all the comotion, Princess Rhaenyra came out of her room some few feet away from the two, and quickly rushed over to them. "What happened here?" She questioned strictly, her hands on her hips with a stern look.

You looked up at her worriedly, trying to explain, when Lucerys cut you to it. "It was my fault mother. I wasn't looking where i was going." He grinned sheepishly. Had he just saved you? You felt your cheeks grow hot, just by thinking of it.

You looked at him, and then at Rhaenyra. But you decided to quickly bow instead of just standing there and looking stupid. "I apologise your Grace. I too, wasn't exactley looking where I was going" you said, looking down at your feet.

To your surprise, yet again, Rhaenyra smiled at you in a loving kind of way. "Don't worry dear, my son has his head in the clouds sometimes" she chuckled, and Lucerys shot up his head in surprise and blushed out of embarassment.

"Don't worry, i'll have maids clean it up!" Rhaenyra smiled warmly. "In the mean time, why don't you two join me?"

After that, Lucerys noticed you more. Wether it was cleaning the halls or rooms, or carrying cakes, sweets or food he would always notice you. At some point he started looking for you. Getting exited if he ever saw you, and sending a quick smile your way. You would also engage in some small talk with the boy, and once in a while you would secretly sneak off with two swords and train, with you winning everytime. And everytime you both would fall to the floor and laugh together.

You had been thinking hard and long about these things, your feelings only growing stronger. But it would never work. You were constantly reminded you where nothing more but a servant, and he a prince. Another day you had found yourself cleaning a room you had not gotten a name on. It didn't bother you as much as you thought it would, because you where to buisy in your own thoughts. Well, until you heard a knock, and then the door sliding open. You quickly turned around to find Lucerys in the doorway, smirking.

"Your Grace what are you doing here?" You said rather sternly. Lucerys chuckled. "This is my room Miss Y/N" Your stern look changed to a confused and then a surprised expresion. He stopped leaning against the door frame and walked up to you. He kept a small distance and sat down on his bed. He admired you as you cleaned a dresser. He admired your hair, your clothes, your eyes. Oh He couldn't stop thinking about your eyes. They where his favorite thing about you. And your personality of course but from your apearance it had to be the eyes. He was completely lost in you, and you had gotten a little uncomfortable, so you turned around and couldn't help but smile at him.

He stood up suddenly, making you jump. He walked over to you and took both your arms in his. Stared at you longingly, before letting his hands slide down to your waist. "C-Can i ask you something?" He mumbled shyly. You looked up at him, your face looking like a tomato at this point. You nodded. "Can i-...Can I kiss you?" He whispered, and your breath hitched. This was what you wanted. It had been for a long time, yet you couldn't find yourself to do it. It was against any rule. He was a prince, a heir of something, and you where a lowborn, who had barely got this job as a maid. But still you nodded. For some reason, even though bad thoughts clouded your mind, you nodded. And he kissed you.

It was nothing like you had expected. Both of you where pretty unexperienced, but if you had to be honest you loved it. His lips was soft and slightly chapped against yours, and when you pulled away you just wanted more. He smiled brightly at you, his cheeks red. It was the cutest thing you had seen.

Your hands went up and caressed his cheeks as he smiled at you. This was all against the rules, but honestly you'd go against the rules a thousand times more if it was with Lucerys.

Requested: Yes,

Jay's pov

Time 3:30 A.M

I woke up drenched in sweat after having a nightmare. This is the first time it has happened in a while. When Caity was little, it happened every day, but I've found ways to cope with my ptsd. After I calmed down a bit, I got up and walked over to Caity's room. I peaked inside and made sure she was alright. Once I was sure she was safe, I walked back to my room and took a cold shower. I hopped out and looked at the time it was now 4:00. I walked down the hall to the kitchen and made me a cup of coffee, and started on some paperwork.

Time skip: 4:30

I have been working for a while now, and I am almost done with my paperwork, so I decided to wake up Caity, and while she was getting ready, I started on breakfast. I made breakfast burritos and called for Caity to come eat.

Caitlin's pov

Time 4:45

I woke up to someone shaking my shoulder, and I could faintly hear my name being called "Caitlin, Caitlin it's time to get up for school, baby." I opened my eyes and saw dad sitting beside me. I sat up and hugged him, and he kissed me on the head and said,"Get ready for school. While I go, make breakfast."Ok," I said before yawning. We both got up, and dad walked out to make breakfast, and I walked to my closet and got my clothes. I walked to the bathroom and got a quick shower, and changed into my clothes. I finished getting ready, grabbed all my stuff, then walked into the kitchen. We sat down to eat our breakfast burritos and had our usual morning conversation. "So do y'all have a case yet." No, not yet." So what are you doing," I'm done with all my paperwork so I will probably go on patrol if I do I probably won't be able to pick you up so you will have to walk," Ok I willwalkto the district after school." We finished eating and got in the car to go to school.

Time skip After School

I did my normal school routine, went to my first few classes, had lunch with Eva, and then went to my last few classes. I am now on my way to the district it's not that far from my school, so dad let's me walk sometimes as long as I have my phone. I know every way to get to the district along with my house, and dad is still teaching me how to get to Uncle Will's house. The first couple of weeks before he started letting me walk home from school alone, he would walk to my school from wherever he was originally. The first place he taught me was the short way to get to the district because that is where I normally go after school. He would walked from the district then when he picked me up we walked back and when he thought I had walked it enough to remember he let me lead the way with a little guidance till I figured it out. I'm about to cross the street, so I wait for the traffic to clear and then look both ways twice before crossing. When I get to the middle of the street, a red car comes speeding down the street and hits me. It threw me a couple of feet away as soon as I hit the ground. I gasped in the breath the car just knocked out of me. People are gathered around me, and I'm freaked out a couple of minutes later, I hear sirens.

Kelly's pov

We just got a call about a kid getting hit by a car and the car running into a fire hydrant, so we are headed to the scene. When we get there, Stella and Sylvie walk over to help the kid, and we go to see the damage on the car. Before I even get to the car, Stella is calling me over. When I get there, I see Caitlin trying to sit up. I'm quick to hold her down as I say, "No, no, no Caity, you don't need to move ok." She cries out a little and whimpers, "Hurts Kelly," "I know, but you need to stay still." Stella puts on a C-collor, and we strap her to the backboard. I helped load her into the back of the ambulance, and then I checked to see that they were all done with the car, so I hoped into the ambulance with Caity. I called Jay and told him what had happened.

Connor's pov

"Connor trauma bay 4." I hear Maggie yell, and I rush over."What have we got," I ask. "Caitlin Halstead 13 year old female. She was hit by a car on her way home from school. She is conscious and in a lot of pain." Stella says as we walk into trauma bay 4. Once we get her all set up on the new gurney, I start working on her. I go through all the normal steps and quickly realize she needs surgery, so I rush her into the OR, and we get prepped for surgery.

Jay's pov

Caitlin has been in surgery for two hours, and I still have not heard anything. Just as I'm about to begin my search for Will for the 20th time in the last hour, Connor walks out. I quickly stand and walk over, and he says, "She sustaned multiple fractures, internal injuries, and severe bruising. We had to do emergency surgery on internal injuries. But she is fine now and is resting. You are welcome to go see her." I follow him into the room Caitlin's in and she looks up at me and smiles, "Daddy," She whispered and opened her arms as much as she could without hurting herself and silently asked for a hug. I walked over and carefully wrapped my arms around her and hugged her. I gave her a kiss on the head and then sat in the chair beside her and held her hand, and she fell asleep with me following shortly after.

[veiledfox]

"Okay... one last try..." Artig speaks aloud to himself, once again looking to his finger tips as he begins to reach internally toward his Aether. He can feel how much easier it's become to manipulate such energy than it had been before, feel the potential he now had toward being able to will more kinds of Magic into existence. Even if it was still clear to him that it wouldn't be anything too big or flashy.

Still, with this greater flexibility to his Aether, he can already tell how much smoother the process of feeding it through his arms towards his hands is. It feels so much looser, more maliable, lighter even. With a bit of a boost in confidence from this, he begins to weave it together as it reaches his finger tips, stitching together that Magic he had attempted to achieve the other day.

Almost instantly, that fuzzy sensation begins to take hold on his fingers again. It takes a couple seconds, but even the flickering grey and black returns, fading into existence over the ends of his fingers. That occasional flash of other collors sparking at different points across the odd visual. It was here, with a proper and focused look, that he puts together that it looks as if his fingers were covered with visual static like an old CRT television screen.

Unlike his panic the other day, however, Artig takes a slow and deep breath to maintain his calm. Keeping his focus, his will, aimed toward this Magic he was weaving. In the back of his mind he subconsciously was counting the seconds, trying to keep track of how long this process took.

Artig's brow would rise in some surprise as, only a little over twenty seconds after he started, he watches the static quickly fade out. His nails, normally narrower and more tappered akin to claws, now wider and more rounded. He thinks, focuses on his nails again, this time to try and will them to extend like they normally could. One of the few feline traits that remained phyically present in his Human form when he gained it. Yet, even with another moment of trying to will it, such a thing did not occur.

Quickly the Man would focus again, drawing upon his Aether once more and willing it to his fingers again with intent to undo the change. He would, once more, be a little surprised as what had been an effort before now came and went like a gentle breeze. It was as if he had gone to pick up a cup he thought was full, only to discover it empty as he lifts it faster than intended.

Less than half the time as it had taken prior, the static faded into existence over his finger tips with it's signature buzz then faded away, leaving his nails reverted to how they normally were. Quickly making them extend and retract, as he was so used to doing already. A smile curling across his face, with pride filling his chest as he finds success in his second proper form of Magic.
