I'm sorry if this is extremely specific but can you do some hcs of Dan Torrance with a transmasc metalhead s/o who just cut his hair because of the dysphoria but now he feels really unattractive? I completely understand if you can't do it
Remember to drink water! Take care 💗
Dan Torrance x TransMasc!Reader | Headcanons
Hey there! No need to apologise, I live for specific things. :') Thanks for the request, I really hope you like these and they can bring you some comfort! <3 Aw, thank you!!! Remember to drink water as well and take care of yourself. <3 <3 <3
notes; Trans Masc!Reader; Gender Dysphoria; Haircut; Insecurities; Comfort; Fluff.
When you cut your hair it's almost an impulsive decision because your gender dysphoria kept telling you how feminine you looked, despite that not necessarily being the case at all, and you just want that voice to go away.
You do it while Dan is still at work and once you're done you feel very insecure, like you're the most unattractive person on earth. It makes you scared of Dan coming home to seeing you like this, quickly putting you in a different crisis.
While you're still alone, you keep trying to save your looks and feel better about it, but to no avail. The longer you attempt to fix things and look in the mirror, the worse you feel.
It's too late anyway when Danny comes home soon enough, immediately knowing that something is wrong - he's felt it ever since it started and it only got stronger the closer he got to returning home.
He asks what's wrong, stopping when he sees you. Of course it's a little jarring to suddenly see you with short hair after having been used to your long one, but he knows it was the same for you when he was suddenly clean shaven.
You hide your face with your hands and shake your head, telling him to not look at you because you're ugly and you regret cutting your hair now, but you had to do it. You're nearly hyperventilating at that point.
Dan uses his shine to calm you down a bit, until you take your hands away from your face and he wraps his arms around you. He brushes his fingers through your hair with a soft smile on his lips and tells you that you're gorgeous. You always are. Handsome, gorgeous, beautiful, everything.
He does his best to quiet down this voice in your heard that's saying it's all lies, that he doesn't like you anymore. He kisses you breathless, peppers your face in little kisses as well, all while playing with your short hair.
It helps after a while. You feel better. Less dysphoric, less unattractive, less remorseful. You may have always liked your long hair, but perhaps it was time to find a different hairstyle that would give you gender euphoria and still serve as a signature for your liking of metal music.

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written 😁🥰
Thank you for this!
Since I did one last week, I’ll put a few different fics this time. In no particular order:
“The Darkest Shine” (Dan Torrance x Reader): This story was so much fun for me to write, and it comforts me. Not only did I see the movie, but I made sure to read Doctor Sleep by Stephen King to ensure I nailed down Dan’s characterization. Technically a “fix it” fic while still maintaining the ending of the film.
“A Moment of Madness” (Jonathan Crane x Reader): For this, I was given a sad/angsty prompt, which I turned into something very different than what was requested. When the requester told me they had expected something else but were pleasantly surprised by what I wrote, I knew I had succeeded. If you want to understand how I tend to respond to requests, this is the place to start.
“The Real You” (Charles Blackwood x Reader): I had just watched We Have Always Lived in the Castle and thought, “I need to add another Sebastian Stan character to my list.” When the request came in, I knew I couldn’t just make it regular fluff, because Charles is not a fluffy boy. What resulted was absolute fun.
“Cordial” (Napoleon Solo x Reader): One of my first Henry Cavill fics, and definitely the one that drew people to my blog. You put a womanizer in front of me, I’m gonna teach him a few things.
“Cuts & Bruises, Wounds & Abuses” (Captain Syverson x Reader): The other major Cavill fic (my The Witcher one-shots aside) that drew people to my blog. This story was my first AU—a soulmate one, no less—but I think I managed to ground it in reality as much as possible. I also think it’s one of my most cohesive and thrillingly paced fics.

*  knowing  your  partner  well  can  potentially  make  writing  a  lot  easier,  repost,  do  not  r.e.blog.
Tumblr media
name :  sera. pronouns :  she / her ,  they / them. preference  of  communication :  at  this  point  smoke  signal,  carrier  pigeon  or  yelling  into  the  void  is  fine  w.  me  but  i  also  enjoy  tumblr  dms / discord  ( though  i  do  tend  to  forget / avoid  answering  them  because  socializing  is  Hard  sometimes :( ) name  of  muse(s) :  jane  ‘ 011 ′  hopper  ( this blog ),  selina  ‘ catwoman ’  kyle ( @nineprowls ),  dan  torrance  ( @shinedied,  maybe  one  day  his  muse  will  return  from  the  war  but  he  on  hiatus  atm ) experience / how  long  ( months / years ? ) :  lmao  u  make  it  sound  like  a  profession,  but  ig  i’d  count  2013 / 2014  when  i  rlly  started  rping.
best  experience :  would  definitely  be  meeting  @surftendo  back  in  the  twdrpc  mostly  because  we  are  engaged  and  have  been  living  with  each  other  for  the  past  7  years  xoxox  but  other  than  that,  i  love ??  every  like  ‘era’  /  muse  i’ve  taken  up  because  i’ve  always  met  new  people  and  really  have  been  super  lucky  with  always  having  friends / partners  who  are engaged  to  write  w.  me  ♥  oh,  another  thing !  people  who  follow  you  through  different  blogs,  and  are  willing  to  engage  with  you  on  any  muse !
rp  pet  peeves / deal  breakers :  writing  underage  muses  but  being  gross  about  it  ( oversexualization,  sexualization  in  general,  extreme  focus  on  shipping / romance  when  they’re  like  children  --  aging  up  just  to  ship / smut,  etc ),  being  an  elitist  ( in  whatever  form,  either  with  aesthetics,  muse’s  canon,  the  whole  comic / book  >  film / show  bs. ),  toxic  shit  ( cliques,  bullying,  trying  to  collect  people,  etc ),  anon  hate  or  vaguing.  and  godmoding / metagaming / etc.
muse  preferences  fluff,  angst,  or  smut :  given  jane  is  still  a  minor  ( even  though  i  do  think  often  about  her  as  an  adult,  etc )  i  do  not  engage  in  any  s3xu4l  content  on  this  blog  specifically.  i  do  love  angst,  but  also  like  breaking  down  canon  events  in  thread  form,  writing  out  the  actions  characters  take  against  a  partner  is  usually  super  interesting  as  well  as  making  really  sad  plots  :)
plots  or  memes :  it’s  honestly  a  lot  easier  for  me  to  engage  with  someone  with  memes  because  it’s  something  i  can  just  immediately  jump  on  and  run  with.  plotting  is  great,  but  often  times  i  find  a  lack  of  interest  to  actually  discuss  indepth  or  one  party  is  contributing  more  ( and  sometimes  it  isnt  me  tbh  but  i  do  love  coming  up  w.  ideas  we’re  all  just  scared  of  rejection )
long  or  short  replies :  i  can  get  pretty  winded,  but  honestly  i  try  to  make  sure  it’s  necessary  the  length.  though  i  do  try  to  match  at  least  the  paragraphs  of  my  partner  i’ve  been  trying  to  be  okay  with  either  one  reply  shorter  or  one  reply  longer.  just  feeling  the  flow  and  writing  what  i  think  is  appropriate.  quality / having  fun > quantity !
best  time  to  write :  oh boy  it’s  usually  whenever  i  can,  these  days  it’s  either  early  morning  ( 7 - 9 am )  to  like  late  evening  ( 10 - 3am )  but  honestly  the  muse  strikes  when  it  strikes.
are  you  like  your  muse(s) :  in  a  way,  yes.  there  has  to  be  that  initial  connection,  source  to  tap  into  for  me.  though  everyone  can  pretty  much  right  anyone,  i  feel  it’s  more  engaging  for  me  personally  if  i  can  tap  into  a  character’s  feelings.  though  i  can  hardly  relate  to  jane’s  experiences  in  the  lab,  i  can  understand  the  feelings  and  try  to  tap  into  it  that  way.  i  think  the  muse  i  connected  with  most  has  been  her,  dan  torrance  and  carl  grimes  because  of  their  rough  childhoods  and  having  to  grow  up  in  traumatic  conditions.  writing  them  has  actually  helped  me  throughout  the  years  with  coming  to  terms  w.  my  own  trauma.

May Request A Dan Torrance x Reader Where They Are In A Tsunami And Help People After The Tsunami Finding Each Other While Helping And Are Reunited And It's Fluff
I'm so sorry. I forgot I had this. 🙈 I didn't do it straight away because I don't know who that is. Then I got sidetracked with ADHD/anxiety/depression/covid hijinks. If you give me some info on why you like them I could give it a go?

Finally, the Want To Be A Dad
Kinktober - Dan Torrance - Breeding!Kink!
Summary: Dan and reader from Unlikely Delights are newly married. And…finally…finally Dan wants to be a daddy.
Warning: Breeding!Kink!, and squint and there is some overstimulation.
Dan, sat at his desk with his cheek in his hand. He looked his hand over. The delicate, golden ring encircled his finger. The two of you had only recently returned from the honeymoon. He was in a daze of happiness.
It had all started that fateful day where the two of you had been in a rush and literally bumped into each other. The two of you had been through so much. And now, now the two of you were man and wife.
A single, solitary thought managed to float its way over to him from you. It sliced him right in the heart.
Sure, being an uncle to Abra you knew he thought was wonderful. The children in Fraiser were a delight. But would, he ever actually want a child with you. You wondered. A sadness you felt over it, continued the pain that the thought brought.
The two of you had discussed it at some point, but that was when he had been still incredibly unsure of himself and what could he really give you. The idea of truly slipping was always there like a cold, dark shadow. What if more of his father or the shining line was in him and he’d turn into a monster. The idea had plagued him.
Now things were different.
Reaching out, a curiosity of his blushing bride grabbed him. What were you up to, he wondered.
He smiled as he watched you continued to unpack your suitcase. You stopped and glanced at your reflection holding up some of the island dresses, that had been so wonderfully wrapped around your curvy figure.
An idea struck him. Today, yes it would be the day. He would begin to work at the two of you becoming a mommy and daddy.
He pushed his chair and got up. He could go home, he only had five minutes left anyhow.
“Margret.” He beamed at the head nurse. “I’m gonna head out. We’re blessed with a quiet night.”
She peered at him over the rim of her glasses. “I’ll only let you go if you promise to grab your sweet bride flowers on the way home.”
He grinned. “With pleasure.” He headed to the locker room, grabbed his coat and headed out. Pulling up, he parked and went into the florist which was a mere block from their tiny but cozy home. He chose one that reminded him of all the bright flowers that had seen while on the island.
Going in, he slipped easily from his shoes and coat. “Honey? Where are you?” Your warmth greeted him.
“Upstairs.” Your sweet voice reached him.
Holding the bouquet, he climbed the steps. He stopped in the doorway. The last of the clothes were away, some hanging in the closet he noticed. “There is my blushing bride.” You giggled and went over to him.
Sighing, he wrapped an arm around you holding you close. He would never tire of how much he enjoyed the feel of your softness against him.
“I stopped and got a little something for you.” He whispered.
You smiled. “Is that a bouquet, I see?” You giggled
“Hey! You peaked.” You both giggled then.
He handed it to. “Oh this is so lovely.” You inhaled deeply. You smiled up at him. “And it smells divine.”
“Not as good as you.” He winked.
“Oh Dan.” You put the bouquet down and came back over to him. “Don’t think, I didn’t notice that you are a touch early.” He pulled you close. “I was about to start dinner.”
He shrugged, as he wrapped his other arm around you. “It can wait, I am very happy to have my wife in my arms.”
You trembled. “I will never tire of you saying that.”
“And I will never tire saying it.”
Your eyes shined, as you met his. Reaching up, he let his fingers gently brush some hair from your face.
“How was work?”
“Good.” He smiled. He drew closer to you, “So lovely.” He whispered.
“And so handsome.” You wonderfully echoed.
Your lips met then. So soft and sweet, how he loved kissing you. His hands drifted over you. His need to be with you once again, grabbed him hard. “Honey, go and lay down.”
A gentle smirk curled your lips, “Dan, I think you’ll have to come home early more often.”
He smiled. “It’s something to consider.”
Together, you moved until you were both on the bed. You reached up and help him slip off his scrub top and pants.
It wasn’t long before he helped you free of your skirt and blouse. “Oh my lovely girl, no bra or panties, huh?”
You flushed. “I was well..” He relished how your voice trailed off, but he then drank in the soft gasp that came from you. He let his fingers drifted up and nestle your warm center.
“It’s a good thing, I’m here isn’t it?” He began to caress you.” Your breath began to shorten.
“Yes. Dan..” You breathed.
He made a soft sound, as he caressed you deeper. You were already warm and very wet.
Your breath was warm as you began to arch into his touch. “Oh, is my honey feeling good hmm?” He slowed his touch.
“Yes, please..please.”
“What?” He picked up the pace of his fingers. “You will have to tell me.”
You licked your lips. “I am so close. Please.” You writhed under him.
You arched once again, stilling then you called out as he didn’t stop. You collapsed sweetly under him.
“How did that feel honey?”
“So good” You managed to pant out. He picked up the pace of his fingers once again.
“Do you think you can cum once more for me honey?”
Your eyes grew. “Yes.”
“Good then please do so.”
“But, but Dan what about you?”
���Right now, I want you to feel good.” His voice came out as a gentle purr. He loved seeing and making you feel so good.
It wasn’t long but soon, your body was looser and easier to bring to the height of pleasure.
He easily climbed over you and settled between your legs. “My lovely girl.” He relished how easily you opened to him. “Now, I need and want to be inside of you.”
“Yes, please.” You managed breathlessly.
He loved it. Looking down, your soft smile and the twinkle in your eyes pulled hard on his heart. Yes, now he want you to be the mommy of their child. The idea excited him further.
He met your eyes as he slid in. It pulled a moan from him. You felt so good.
He held you just so. Softly, still weakened by the pleasure he gave you but your arms wrapped around him.
It wasn’t long before he fell into his own pace. Trembles and shivers went down his back. Oh, it feel so good to be buried so deeply within you. He had managed to get as deep as be ever was.
“You feel so good. I love how you feel.”
“I love, love you Dan.” You whispered.
“And I…” He shook, he felt as if everything tightened within him. He could barely hold himself back. He moved just right. “And, I love you.” He whispered and gave himself up to it. He came hard within you. And he kept himself there deep within you. He hoped that perhaps even with this first time would be a success. He loved how your body fluttered about him. He was so deep.
He rested his forehead against one of your shoulders, still buried deeply within you. He pressed a few kisses, as his body calmed from trembling. It had felt so good to be in you.
He had not wanted to but he then slowly pulled out of you. “My sweet girl. My sweet girl.” Inwardly, he made a wish. As he went to lay beside you, he rest his hand on your tummy as he made the wish.
You put one of your hands over his. “I love having you that so deeply within me.”
“I’ll have to do it again soon.” He gave your shoulder a kiss.

Walls / Dan Torrance Imagine
Tumblr media
Request: So, I absolutely love your Dan Torrance imagines! I also love Doctor Sleep as well! Could I request an imagine where the reader (her name is Rebecca, by the way!) and Dan are married. Dan is worried that his beloved will be harmed by the ghosts of Dan's past and he will protect her at all costs. Dan also survives the whole ordeal! Make it as long as you can and feel free to change anything if you need to! 💙 
This is for my wonderful friend @thebeckyjolene, I really hope you’re doing well today darling!
I tried to do a bit of a different writing style with this one, so if you enjoyed, comments are always appreciated! :)
Dan Torrance didn’t remember these walls.
The building, perhaps. The lights, the furniture, the shadows that flickered in the corner of his eyes as he turned and twisted round the wall’s corners: yes. The walls themselves, though, seem distorted. Changed. Taunting. 
Or perhaps, he realised, it was all a matter of perspective. All a matter of eyes. He wasn’t sure whose eyes he was looking through right at the moment: he was just a little, insignificant squeak in the back of his head. How ironic, he thought. How ironic that all these years I’ve locked them up, safe and tight in these boxes, and yet now I’m the one trapped inside my mind instead. With each passing face, the walls that wound towards Room 237 seemed to shift, the decorations sometimes vibrant, outmoded, the next second the wallpaper crumbling and peeling and decaying, splattered with blood. 
He knew he couldn’t hold out much longer. Each stamp of his boots along the tile seemed to drag him just that little bit further into the belly of the beast - each pound echoing across the ground suckering him just that little bit more, until he began wondering where his shoes ended and the floors of the Overlook began. 
The floor. The floor. That he remembered. That grotesque, repugnant shade of orange that cornered in the red hexagons. How long he had spent away from the company of his parents, staring at that floor and wishing he could just go home. The days when his feet would barely touch it, and he would fly, knowing in his heart that he was trying to escape something. The ghosts, or his father, he wasn’t still entirely sure. Perhaps, in the end, there was no difference really. He swallowed thickly, passing the elevator that gleamed white in comparison, still as fresh looking as the day he had arrived here. Despite his face, he still couldn’t bring himself to look at it properly, trying to hold his shudder as he drew himself back from the hotel and bumped his knee against one of the cushioned seats he had seen in his nightmares every night since he was five years old.
He never thought he would hear your feet run across these same floors, speeding along the path his tricycle used to take down the looping corridors, both filled with the same unknown, foreboding dread that they weren’t going to like the shadows that appeared behind them as they turned the corner. They weren’t going to like the consequences of opening doors, of wakening ghosts that were only too riled up to be disturbed. Yet neither of you could help it, the hotel knew only too well how to draw its victims in. He managed to strangle out a sob at the thought, his gut wrenching cries the only thing to be heard in the hallway as his hand pulled and grasped at his jacket, trying to pull himself back. His wife, the light of his life, the only thing in this world he couldn’t bear, wouldn’t allow to have torn away from him again. The Overlook only laughed at his threats, his grievances, whispering in his ear that it was his turn to be the caretaker now.
She must take her medicine, after all. Just like the rest. Rebecca must take her medicine.
And so the door to Room 237 swung shut for the second time that day. In rhythm with the hinges, the beat of an axe hammered against its wood as it closed.
‘Rebecca...Rebecca you need to run. I can’t- I can’t hold them off for much longer. I can’t... I can’t hurt you... I can’t do it.’
The sight of you standing on that mouldy purple carpet was enough to bring tears springing to Danny’s eyes. With the last mount of energy, and desperation he could muster, he forced every cell in his body to stop moving. Slowly, yet surely, his knees still bent and he took a further step towards you, axe now dragging familiarly along the ground. 
‘I won’t leave you to the same fate as your father, Danny. This isn’t you, this isn’t us.’
Your husband, his face paling with each step towards you, sneers, lips unnaturally curling up at the corners. He readies to swing his axe, thumbs tight against the wood, but his hands slightly falter just as it reaches his shoulder.
‘What would you know about us?’
You reach up towards him - your Danny, your husband. You could see him struggling, little beads of perspiration on his forehead, and eyes scrunching closed in absolute agony. Your fingers land on his cheek, and you can feel the muscle ripple under your touch, but in all the exertion you don’t miss the slight tilt of his head towards your touch. 
‘I know you’re a false face, and that you don’t understand who you’re pretending to be. I know my husband, and he’s strong, and he’s brilliant, and he’s so unbelievably kind. He could never hurt me-’. you reach over his shoulder to tug on his left hand, not letting go until your hand brushed over his wedding ring. His ring finger shook against yours, face seeming to blur and melt against and within itself like new snow. Yet, his hold on his axe began to slip, until it finally fell onto the floor. ‘More than that, he’s smarter than you will ever be.’
‘What- what do you mean?’
‘You, false face, had better start running. It’s only a matter of time before the belly of this place eats you up as well.’
Something akin to familiarity begins to brighten his eyes, and your sense of hope flickers again in your stomach as you feel his fingers twitch against yours. Suddenly, he seems to shake himself awake, gasping as if awakening from a horrible dream. He nearly falls away from you, but your thumb digs into his skin until he collapses back down onto your shoulders. You can feel him shiver as he holds you, but you don’t let go. You knew the strength it had taken him to chase away his ghosts, to keep you safe from everything within himself, and the only way you could think to return the favour was by letting him clutch onto your jacket until his breathing had settled.
‘There you are’, you whisper into the shell of his ear. ‘There you are.’
‘I’m sorry Rebecca’, he gasps out, pulling away until you can see how quickly his eyes are blinking to draw away the tears. He half-laughs, half-sighs as his weary fingers cup your cheeks, rubbing little circles into your skin. ‘It was the only way I knew I could keep them from getting to you. I was... I was just afraid. I was so afraid they would get you too.’
You inhaled sharply, tugging slowly on his fingers as if asking him silently to follow you. To trust you. And he did, with all his heart, he did. He would wander these walls for the rest of his life if you had asked him too.
Instead, you try to smile up at him, but it ends up looking like a pained grimace more than anything. ‘It’s alright, it’s alright, but we need to go now Danny. We need to run.’
He felt a pang in his heart, knowing that nothing in this black hole of a place would ever let him leave. Not really. It had consumed his father, it had consumed him, and he would be damned if he was going to let it take his wife without him giving a proper fight. Without him giving every last piece of himself he had to give, until he knew you had escaped.  
‘But the boiler-’
‘It’s already taken care of. You mumble so much in your sleep about this place, I think I could switch them on with my eyes closed’, you chuckle.
‘Come on, it’s time we finally leave these walls to smoulder.’

Congrats on 400 followers!! 🤗💙 Could you do a Dan Torrance sfw ABC?
Thank you so much!!!! Of course you can have ABC of Danny boy! This was fun to do and I want to cuddle him now.
A - Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)
It takes a while for Danny to open up. He’s had a rough past, and closes himself off to protect himself and others. He always tensed up when you showed any type of physical contact, but slowly started to melt into them. After things became official between the two of you he slowly started reciprocating, but is still nervous about it.
B - Best Friend (What would they be like as a best friend? Where does the friendship start?)
You guys met through Billy. Most people in town know Billy, he is the quiet sweetheart that does what he can to help out. So he introduces the two of you, the two closest people to him. From there your friendship blossomed and he’d start seeking you out to be around you.
C - Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)
Danny boy just needs to be held ok? Sweet boy just has so much going on and cuddling with you helps ground him. His favorite cuddle position is where you're on your back, and his head is resting on your chest, your arms cradling his head brushing through his hair. His arms will be around your waist trying to get impossibly closer to you and you tangle your legs with his, which makes him oh so soft.
D - Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking, cleaning, ect?)
He loves the idea of getting a small apartment with you, just something small and quaint. A proper home for once in his life with the one person he feels safe with.
He likes to keep a tidy place, if there is too much of a mess it starts to overwhelm him. He likes cooking, but most of the things he knows how to cook are simple dishes. He likes when you cook food you’ve had when you were a kid, a smile always adorning his face as you cook.
E - Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)
This man would have tears in his eyes, but refuses to let them fall. But he would make sure he is respectful and make you realize that it really is him. He doesn’t want you to feel worse than you already do.
F - Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? Do they wanna get married?)
He is very hesitant about wanting to fully commit to you. He loves you, but he has so many demons. He thinks you deserve better than an ex-alcoholic that has mountains of trauma and this weird shining thing that haunts him most nights.
I feel like he wouldn’t feel the need to make it “official” anyways. Just being with you in general is enough for him. He doesn’t need this grand gesture or a piece of paper to show that he loves you. But he will do whatever makes you happy.
G - Gentle (How gentle are they both physically and emotionally?)
Dan emotionally is very rough around the edges, he really does need a bit of TLC. He himself tries to be soft towards you, and give you everything he thinks you deserve in a s/o. He wishes so much he could do more.
Physically he melts in your arms. The moment you hold him in any way he can’t help but smile for a moment and hold on to you tighter, or nuzzle into you. He’s been through shit and somehow his demons keep finding him, but when he is in your arms he feels safe. He’s not necessarily clingy, but he loves being held and holding you.
H - Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it, and what are they like?)
Like I said this man loves to hold you and he loves to be held. His hugs at first are timid, but you always squeeze him as hard as you can in the biggest bear hug you can muster. After you reciprocate his hug he grows more confident in it.
I - I Love You (How fast do they say the “love” word?)
As said before Danny is hesitant about most things because of his past, so it takes a while for him to even think “wow I love this person”. He knows he cares for you and does love you but the thought of really being “in love” scares him a bit. But nevertheless he does admit it out loud when you're holding him one night after a particularly nasty nightmare, or day just needing comfort.
J - Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What are they like when jealous?)
So I feel like during his time he got clean he’s learned to control his emotions more, so it’s hard for him to get jealous. He also trusts you 100% in that area, he knows you and knows you wouldn’t cheat on him. But when he does I feel like he gets a little pouty, and quiet. Once you realize you’ll grab his hand and squeeze it reassuring him that everythings ok.
K - Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)
He’s usually into the soft kisses, the ones where you both end up melting into each other. Your bodies start to relax with the feel of each other and you can feel the care in the kiss. IMAGINE AS HE LINKS HIS FINGERS WITH YOURS AS YOU KISS SOFTLY
But don’t let the man fool you, when the time is right he will kiss you with a fiery passion. It's incredibly sexy when he kisses you as if he owns you, but this is reserved for behind closed doors.
L - Little Ones (How are they around kids?)
He wasn’t good with kids before, but after working at Teeny Town and Abra he got better. It’s funny because he doesn’t do a high pitched voice like others usually would, but he would talk with interest and curiosity in his voice.
M - Morning (What are mornings like with them?)
So mornings happen differently. There are the mornings he gets up somewhat early to go conduct the train in Teeny Towns, and there are the mornings where he sleeps in a little later after a night working at the hospice center. Either way when one of you gets up you're always pressing a kiss to the top of the others head when they wake, and before they leave for work.
N - Nights (How are nights spent with them?)
Nights are the same as the mornings. The nights where he’s home are spent with the two of you dancing around each other as you cook, clean, or do whatever it is you do in the afternoons. But when he goes in to work, you always pack him some food to munch on later in the night and he can’t help but smile at the thoughtfulness. When he comes home he loves seeing you curled up in your shared bed, more often than not you’re in one of his shirts.
O - Open (When do they open up about themselves?)
It takes a while for him to open up to you. I mean most people think he’s crazy when he talks about the things he sees, or looks at him with pity because of his past. You never pushed him to talk about anything, which is how you gained his trust. Before you guys became an item he told you everything, and you sat there with sad, but understanding eyes. You grabbed his hand and told him that you believed him, and how that it doesn't change how you feel about him. Safe to say he was fighting tears after that and internally SWOONED.
P - Patience (How easily angered are they?)
He gets frustrated but not that angry anymore. But he is also pretty patient, especially with other people. The hardest part is being patient with himself.
Q - Quizzes (How much do they remember about you?)
Dan remembers most things about you, but there are a few things that might slip his mind.
R - Remember (Favorite memory with you?)
His favorite moments with you are when you're cuddling, but one of his all time favorite moments was when you had just got off of work and Teeny Town was full of families. On your way home you walked right up to Billy and asked how you could help. At some point you ended up running around chasing the kids, while giving one a piggyback ride. You looked so happy, as you helped entertain the kids waiting for a ride on the train. He knew you were tired after work, but yet you still came over to help plant some flowers and help the tired parents with their kids.
S - Security (How protective are they?)
Dan is pretty protective, that’s why it took so long to let you into his life. He doesn’t want anything happening to you, and if something happened to you because of him? He’d never forgive himself. He still hasn’t forgiven himself for past slip ups.
T - Try (How much effort do they put in?)
Sweet boy tries. He tries his best everyday with what seems to be the weight of the world on his shoulders. You see that and are incredibly proud of him either way. But when he goes out of his way to do something for you? You feel special. Life is hard already, and extra hard when you have shit to work through. So you always make sure he knows that you appreciate everything he does, even if it's only for himself.
U - Ugly (What are their bad habits?)
Danny boy worked real hard to stop his drinking, but of course because of that he acts a little different when he’s overwhelmed and doesn’t have alcohol to help. The main thing is he really wants to just be alone, and is used to being alone. Learning to trust and have a friend in Billy is one thing, but having a significant other? There’s gonna be a little more work needed.
V - Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)
He’s pretty lax about his appearance. After he got clean he manages himself a little more than he used too, and after he got with you he tries a littlemore. He takes care of himself more and when you go out with each other he makes sure to look a little nicer for you.  
W - Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)
I wouldn't necessarily say “incomplete” but more of a loss. Being incomplete is like saying you will be okay again. He’s lost people before and worked through it, but he still feels it like the day he found out.
X - Xtra (Random HC)
After you move in together you realize there’s a cat that roams around, so you guys “adopt” it. You always leave food out and even bought a little bed and put it outside for it. It’s a little white and grey cat with light blue eyes. You named it Spoon, not knowing what else to call it while you washed some dishes. Danny chuckled at the name and somehow found himself calling the cat Spoon as well.
Y - Yuck (Things they don’t like either in general or a partner?)
Danny doesn’t like people who are impatient, or super closed minded. With the things he’s seen and dealt with he needs someone who won’t judge, someone who can believe what he’s been through.
Z - Zzz (Sleep habits)
Dan has insomnia. How can he not with everything in his head? So he doesn’t look forward to sleeping. He has medicine for if it gets too bad, or if he can’t go back to sleep. If you happen to wake up with him you make some tea to help relax the both of you back into sleep. You’ll curl up into each other and pass out watching an old show or movie you both like.

Hey, I’ve been having a rough time and it seems like you might be too so…fluff request? Specifically slashers and how they’d hug their GN!S/O after not seeing them for a long time, let’s say apart for like three months just for context. The sweeter and more likely to give cavities the better. Also pls add Danny in here just because I love him and you write him so wonderfully. Hope things get better soon, please never forget how amazing and loved you are, even if it’s by dweebs like me who are too shy to come off anon. (Might as well call me Torrence Anon by this point bc I’m always asking for Danny stuff)
Hugs | Slashers x GenderNeutral!Reader | Headcanons
Hi there! I'm sorry to hear that you've been facing a rough patch. I hope it gets better for you and if there's anything I can do for you, if you ever need to vent, I'm here for you! <3 Thank you so much for your kind words, you're truly amazing and a gem, I hope you know that. I appreciate you, Torrance Anon. Take care of yourself! :') <3 Now, I hope you enjoy what I've done with your request and that the Slashers I chose are all right with you. :)

Reblogs > Likes. Thank you!
Asa Emory/The Collector
He really isn’t much of a hugger, but even for him, this was a little too much time to be without you and so when you finally come back he’s all over you
His initial hug is rather short, but he wraps his arms around you and squeezes you tightly against him, anyway
Then, he lets go of you, and while your own arms are kept around his waist, his hands roam over your body and stop at your face, gently caressing it
His thumb runs over your lips as he tells you that you’re not allowed to be away for so long ever again, unless it is with him
After that he showers you in kisses, while his hands are busy touching you otherwise, grabbing and squeezing whatever he can reach
Billy Lenz
Once you enter your shared house, he runs downstairs, but he stops short before he’s reached you, suddenly unsure of himself – he’s actually a little paranoid that you realised you don’t want him anymore, while you were gone
So, you’re forced to take the first step and gingerly envelop him in your arms, although he stays frozen until you tell him that you’ve missed him and that you’re happy to be with him again
That’s when he breaks and wraps his own arms around your waist so tightly, you think he might squeeze you to death, but it’s too endearing for you to mind
He’s got trouble stringing the words together, but you know him well enough to understand that he’s trying to tell you that he missed you, too and that he was so lonely and hated it
Then, he lets loose a little and starts placing sloppy kisses all over your face as he runs his hands over your sides and squeezes your flesh, as though to make sure you’re really here
Charles Lee Ray/Chucky
He hates admitting it, but he really has missed you a lot in those few months and once he sees you again, he swoops in there and wraps his arms around your waist, shortly lifting you off the ground with the absolute force of his hug
You can’t help but smile brightly when he puts you back down and you two just look at each other for a moment, while you have your arms around his shoulders
He kisses you much more softly than he usually would and even smiles into it
His smile only gets bigger when you comb your fingers through his hair ever so gently, and he would like to deny it, but he’s actually missed that a lot and he hides his face in the crook of your neck, because it’s suspiciously warm, then
Dan Torrance
He runs up to you as soon as he sees you and wraps his arms around you so tightly, it’s bordering on painful
Rests his chin on top of your head or shoulder, kisses your temple, cheek, hair, anything he can reach
Sways with you as he just holds you close for the next five to ten minutes, his right hand on the back of your neck or head, and his left hand on the small of your back
Eventually, he tells you how much he’s missed you and how much he truly loves you, before he releases you from that tight embrace, but he keeps one arm around you afterwards
He also barely lets go of you or leaves you alone for the rest of the day, and at night he's clinging onto you for dear life, which really warms you up on the inside and makes it much easier for you to feel at home again and have a good night's rest for the first time since you've left
Jesse Cromeans/Chromeskull
Walks up to you real fast, picks you up and holds you close in such a tight grip that your ribs actually crunch a little and you can’t breathe, which is also when he lets up a bit and sets you back down on the ground
Lets go of you for a moment to sign that he’s sorry for causing you pain and that he’s just missed you so much, he couldn’t help it, and also that he loves you, of course
It makes you laugh fondly and you press your face into his chest as you embrace him tightly again, welcoming it when his hands run through your hair, over your back, sides, butt, anything really
After kissing your lips and your forehead, he picks you up again, bridal-style, and walks you into your bedroom to really welcome you back home (whatever that means for you, personally)
Luigi Largo
Doesn’t like to admit it, but he’s very excited when he finally sees you again and he has to suppress the urge to run up to you and tackle you to the ground
Nonetheless, you notice the way he hugs you just that much tighter than he usually does and it makes you smile brightly as you wrap your arms around his shoulders and bury your face in the crook of his neck
He, too, presses his face against your neck and sways with you as you two stand there, enveloped in each other’s arms
This is probably the calmest and quietest he’s ever been since you’ve met him and that only makes you view this moment as something truly sacred
When you two eventually look at one another, you both have huge grins on your faces and then you’re all over each other in every way you can think of
Pavi Largo
Literally jumps at you and wraps himself around you with his arms and legs, koala-style, because this man has no boundaries and doesn’t care if you can hold him up or not, he’ll take the fall if you crumble to the ground
He’s so happy you’re back and he’s showing you that by the way he clings onto you and peppers your face in little kisses
That also makes you realise just how much you’ve actually missed the feeling of his mask against your skin (and by the way, he apparently got a new one in the time you weren’t home, which is pretty exciting)
It’s not long until the sweetness of the situation dies down a bit and he gets touchy, but you don’t mind, seeing as you’re used to it and have become rather touch-starved in the past months, anyway
Afterwards, though, he wraps himself around you once more and falls asleep with his head partially on your shoulder and chest, his arms around your waist and his legs around yours

Main Masterlist & Taggies: @legally-a-bastard​ , @katrynec​ , @mistermiraclee​ , @obitwo​ , @justanotherblonde23​
When Danny had come home distraught you heard him heading up the stairs to his room, yours being below his, and thought maybe you should go check on him. You hadn't at first, not wanting to disturb him, he was closer to Billy than he was to you so you worried it might be odd just showing up.  Billy had introduced the two of you and you all had dinner together a few times a week when Danny was off. You had a soft spot for Danny, the way he always seemed to know when something was bothering you, his kind eyes and smile, and his soft, caring nature all drew you towards him. Not that you would ever admit your little crush to him, he never seemed to look your way twice. But, when you heard a smashing noise and glass skittering across the ceiling you decided that maybe you should in fact go see if he was alright. 
The door was ajar and you slowly entered the room. He was against the black wall, hands pressing firmly into it, and you called out his name softly. As you got closer you could hear him speaking but it wasn't to you. Unsure of what to do you stood there until he jolted towards the wall with a gasp - like he was waking up from a trance. You called out to him again and he spun to you eyes wide. You stepped back for a second at the wild look on his face and then quickly approached when you noticed the blood on his upper lip. Reaching up you gently trailed your fingers down his cheek as you whispered, "Are you hurt?"
He shook his head, still breathing heavily and he replied, "No, I'm fine but Abra. I have to go get her, they took her."
A million questions ran through your head but he had a desperate look about him and so you simply said, "How can I help?"
You could hardly believe the tale Danny told you on the way to pick up Abra but you knew he was telling the truth, the way he looked at you as if begging for you to trust him only confirmed that. It was a good thing you agreed to come along Danny was exhausted and when you offered to take over driving so he could rest he happily accepted. 
Now the three of you were on your way to the Overlook Hotel and an uncomfortable feeling was sitting heavily in your stomach. You couldn't shake the feeling despite the determination that your two companions seemed to have and you knew Danny could tell something was going on by the way he kept glancing at you. When you stopped at the gas station at the bottom of the mountain you were tense you couldn't tell if your body wanted to scream or cry or both but something in you was telling you to run far far away from the hotel you were heading towards and never look back. Dan laid a warm hand on your knee and your gaze snapped from the mountain to him. He offered you and then Abra a small smile before he lowly stated, "Not too much further, up the mountain." 
When his hand left you to return to the steering wheel you wanted nothing more than to chase after it and interlace your fingers together but you shook the feeling off as just your nerves besides now was not exactly the time for romance.
As you gazed into the gaping maw of the hotel you could feel your whole body trembling and you knew it wasn't due to the snow falling around you. As Danny explained that he wanted Abra to wait in the car you stood patiently waiting to see what your role would be in all of this. Danny finally turned to you as Abra retreated into the car, "I want you to wait with her. When we're in there you stay with her the whole time, that way if something happens to me she'll have you."
You blinked up at him, shivering slightly as you replied - "If it's dangerous for you shouldn't you have someone come with you. I'm not like you two, right? So maybe I could help you."
Danny smiled at you, "You are like us, you just don't know. Billy was like us too, he could always sense people, he could tell who they were before he'd even say hello. You, right now you're shaking and it's because you can sense things too."
His arms grasped your elbows, your arms tightly wrapping around yourself, "So you'll stay with Abra, I'll go in alone. I'll be alright"
You hesitantly nodded, sharing a long look at each other as if trying to communicate words unspoken before you retreated to the car and watched Dan Torrance walk into the overlook hotel. 
It wasn't long before Abra was calling Dan back out to you and the three of you were heading into the hotel together this time, Abra clutching onto both you and Danny. From there everything happened so quickly you barely had time to process it all. One second everything seemed to be going according to plan and the next everything went to hell. Danny had ordered you and Abra to run and so you did, holding the young girl's hand tightly terrified of losing her to this place.    You could hear Danny's screams as they echoed through the abandoned halls and you had to stop yourself from going back for him. When you and Abra ran into the the twins you knew something had happened to Danny and you wrapped a protective arm around Abra. Slowly you tugged her backwards away from the twins and turned to go back down the hall, freezing once you saw Danny. Abra spoke but you couldn't focus what she was saying as blood rushed through your ears, every atom of your being screaming at you to run. You found yourself whispering the word 'run' aloud as Danny lifted his head and pure terror rushed through you. Abra sprinted ahead of you, still holding onto your hand as the two of you fled. You let her take the lead as she seemed sure in her path, though there was nothing to assure you that it wasn't the hotel leading you to certain doom. 
Ducking into room 237 you pushed her behind you as Danny's deranged shouts of your name and then hers filled the air, growing closer and closer. She clung to your back, small hands gripping your sides, and you bit back tears as the two of you backed further into the room. You held your breath as you watched Danny's shadow pass by the door and exhaled shakily when he seemed to pass by, you took long deep breaths - all you had to do was get to the car and you'd be fine.  You turned to Abra who was staring into the bathroom but you gently shook her, she jumped slightly before focusing on you. You were certain Dan would return and when he did you were going to distract him so Abra could escape, she tried to argue but as you positioned her next to the door you reassured her with fake smile and, “It’s alright, I’ll be right behind you.”
The door sprung open far sooner than you hoped and your heart pounded in your chest as Danny advanced. His gaze intense, his white eye staring through you as his blue eye darkened. He stalked towards you calling out your name in a low growl, “You’ve been very very bad.”
You froze as the axe came dangerously close to your face, the blunt end trailing just along the edge of your body as Danny questioned, “Where is she?”
Trembling you felt tears gather in your eyes as the cold metal of the axe slid up your cheek and you choked out, “I don’t know we went separately.”
You could see Abra in your peripheral vision slowly sneaking out of the room and you wanted to sigh in relief but your attention was quickly brought back to Dan’s face as his eyes narrowed at you, “Naughty girl, I told you to stay with her and now you don’t know where she is is that right??”
You met Abra’s hesitant eyes over Danny's shoulder as you nodded and she took off. Danny started to turn at the noise but you did your best to distract him, attempting to wrestle the axe away. 
He snarled, his voice distorted and echoing with other voices that didn't belong to him and he grabbed you by the throat lifting you effortlessly before throwing you. You slammed into the wall with a scream, falling to the floor and you let out a small whine as you tried to rise, gripping the side table next to you tightly. Dan approached you laughing as your head swam, you looked up at him tears in your eyes and he froze. His head tilted slightly as he watched you shakily fight back your sobs, his eyes narrowed - "How interesting." 
You were hauled to your feet by a firm hand grasping your hair and wrenching your head to the side, Danny buried his face into your neck. Inhaling deeply there was another harsh laugh and then, "You smell so so delicious."
He bit harshly into the junction between your neck and shoulder causing you to cry out in pain that quickly morphed into a whimper as he suckled and lapped at the spot. 
"W-what are you doing, Danny?" You knew the question was pointless as this wasn't your Danny. However you received a response though it didn't answer anything, "We're going to do what he was too afraid to."
Danny had dropped the axe at some point and his hand slid up your body to grope at your breasts before gripping your throat tightly. You gasped for air before Dan's mouth enveloped yours in a hot and needy kiss, his tongue slipping easily into your parted mouth. Your eyes slid shut as you tried to pretend that this was actually Danny kissing you and not whatever was currently possessing his body, when you didn't respond he tightened his hand cutting off your air supply. Your hands shot to his arm, scraping at his jacket desperately to pull him off, and your eyes flew open again. He pulled back, breathing heavily, as his eyes trailed you up and down. A half smirk covered his face as he spoke, this time sounding more like himself just low and gravelly, "Don't act like you don't like this dove. I can sense your arousal. Just let us in, let us feast on you."
His hand finally relaxed just as your vision had started to go blurry and you gasped harshly for air, barely able to get any before once again his lips were devouring yours. You moaned into his mouth when Danny slipped his hands under your shirt, sliding up to your tits and he grabbed at them with an appreciative moan of his own. He played with your nipples, pinching and pulling just hard enough that there was a slight sting and enough to make you cry out in pleasure. His lips pulled apart from yours after swallowing down every little noise you made while he played with you and trailed to your neck. 
Danny looked up at you, his milky eye seeming to pierce your soul, before he bit once again though this time higher up. He seemed to delight in the cry that flew from your mouth. He continued his treatment as his hands made quick work of your clothing, tearing it away when it wasn't easy to take off. You called out his name in alarm as he ripped your shirt in half but he simply grinned as he once again teased your breasts. He continued marking you down your neck and collarbone until he reached your chest. Whispering 'mine.' before biting harshly at the tops of your tits and sucking marks into them. 
You grasped at the back of his head, running your fingers through his hair and tugging slightly as he bit at you. His eyes snapped up to your face and your breath hitched at the feral look in his eyes. He stood up to his full height locking eyes with you while his hands trailed down your body to your waist, gripping hard enough you knew there were going to be bruises. He spun you around, pushing you hard into the wall, hands tugging your pants and underwear down your legs. You trembled as your face pressed against the cold plaster, shivering as your body was exposed to the cold air. 
Danny knelt on the ground as he pulled your legs free of their clothing, warm palms grasping at your ass before spreading you apart and baring your wet cunt to him. You heard him inhale deeply and you yelped as once again Danny bit you, this time your sensitive inner thigh. He whispered 'mine' again before his tongue licked up your thigh up to your pussy. He licked three long lines up the entire length of your slit, groaning each time he tasted your sweet juices, his tongue pressing flat and wide against you. The fourth time he trailed his tongue through your lips, down your thigh, over your ass cheek and all the way up your spine until he rose behind you and pressed his body into yours. 
Dan's clothing dug into your soft skin as he repositioned you, yanking your hips backwards but pressing your face harder into the wall. You couldn't help the garbled moan that flew past your lips when you felt his hard length pressing into you from behind. Your body, seemingly moving of it's own accord, ground into his cock pleading for him. 
"Patience, dove. We have all the time we need." He growled out, his hands fumbling with his jeans. He undid them just enough to pull out his cock, hard and throbbing, as you tried to glance behind you to look at him. His hands returned to your body, one burying itself in your hair to keep you still and his other arm wrapping around your hips to pull you back towards him and then without warning he was inside you. 
You screamed, startled at the harsh intrusion, as his length filled you. He stretched your tight little cunt out but you were so soaked he was able to slip inside without a problem. You heard a deep moan from him as his hips starting to pull back and forth, pumping his hard cock in and out of you. His pace started slow, with powerful thrusts burying him to the hilt on each forward movement, but that didn't last for long as he growled out your name and his hands flew to your waist. His grip was hard and his rhythm animalistic as he pounded into you, pulling you harshly into him with his firm grip on you. Your whole body was jerking in time with the power of his thrusts, your hands bracing on the wall to keep from slamming your face into it over and over again as you cried out on every thrust. Your vision blurred with tears as he fucked you, pleasure overwhelming your body. 
Loud grunts echoed off the wall from behind you as he muttered out incomprehensible words mixed with light moans of your name. You begged him - "More, Danny harder! Please touch me, please!!" - as you felt your orgasm fast approaching, needing touch and stimulation elsewhere on your body. Suddenly everything was ripped away from you leaving you to pant against the wall until you were spun around. Your leg was hitched up around his hips as he plunged his rock hard cock into you once again, tearing a hoarse moan from you. His pace was brutal and one of his hands grasped your jaw harshly as he hissed, nostrils flaring, "You look at me when you cum dove. You hear me, are you gonna be a good girl for daddy?"
You cried out as his other hand circled your clit alternating between teasing touches and then pressing hard enough on the little bundle of nerves that you saw stars while he pounded away into you. Your walls clenched around him, squeezing hard, as a scream ripped from your throat when he pinched at your clit, pulling your orgasm from you. The tears that had been filling your eyes spilled over and Danny laughed before it broke off into a deep moan as your hot walls clung to him. You had stared into his eyes as he ordered when your orgasm hit but as it overwhelmed you your eyes slid shut of their own accord. You were gasping for breath as you came down and you didn't notice the way Danny's hands softened around you and how his hips slowed. 
A weak call of your name met your ears and your eyes flew open desperately. Your eyes met Danny's confused and dazed blue orbs and you gasped. Your hands flew to his face as a soft smile covered your face, "Danny, I knew you were there."
He looked down at where your bodies became one and immediately jerked back, whimpering slightly as his length pulled from your warm body. You whined, trying your best to catch your breath. Danny’s face contorted in concentration as he gripped his head, “Fuck, I can’t hold them back for much longer. You have to go!”
“No, not without you Danny.” You cried as you inched towards him, freezing when you noticed for the first time his leg. Putting your danger aside you immediately walked to him and pulled his belt from his pants, ignoring his length bobbing next to your hand, pausing only to nudge his legs apart. He called out your name again, an edge to his voice that wasn't there a moment ago, “Go now! I can’t-” 
He cut himself off with a cry as you wrapped the belt around his upper thigh and tightened it with all your strength, quickly tying it off. There was an inhuman roar and then you were once again being slammed up against the wall, both of his hands at your throat and face contorted in a snarl. Your feet lifted off the ground and for the first time in this encounter you truly feared for your life, hands scrabbling trying to pull his away. Having to fight your instincts you lifted one of your hands away to softly brush your fingertips against his face as you weakly croaked his name. Your gentle touch allowed him to gain control again as he let go of your neck, hands flying to your shoulders to support you. 
Clinging to him you coughed and sputtered as you inhaled deep gulps of air after a few moments finally listening to what Danny was saying."You have to go, I can't hold them back and I can't stop them from taking you again. Please, you need to go."
Looking at him you shook your head despite wanting to crack at his pleading eyes. You swallowed deeply as you stood straight again, "No Danny, let them take what they need from me. I'm not leaving without you."
You cupped his face softly and pressed your lips to him, kissing him tenderly. Danny hesitated for a moment before he responded with a passion that took your breath away. As he parted he looked at you with a softness that you had only dreamed about before he whispered, "If I do this they won't be gone forever, I'm not strong enough to lock them all away right now."
You nodded as you stared up with the same affection that you saw in his eyes mirrored on your face, "I know, but I'll be with you through it all. If this is what we need to do to get you out of here alive, then we'll do it. Will you take me now, before they take control again? I want to know what it's like to be loved by you."
Danny leaned down to press a soft kiss to your lips, though it quickly deepened as his hand slid to your back tugging you close to him. You raised your leg and he was quick to catch it with his spare hand, angling it so it was most comfortable for you. One of your hands cupped his neck and your other trailed down his chest and stomach to grasp his cock loosely. You hadn't had time to appreciate just how big he was when you first were getting fucked but as you gently stroked his length a few times you couldn't hold back the appreciative moan as you felt his size. Lining him up with your cunt you swirled his tip through your drenched folds. Danny broke apart from you, forehead gently pressing to yours and connecting you as he asked, "Are you sure about this?"
Your answer was to press your hips forward, sinking his head into your cunt as you whimpered out a soft 'yes'. Danny pressed forward slowly easing his cock into you and even though he had been in you mere moments ago he still stretched you out deliciously. Where he had been fast and rough before he was now gentle and slow, wanting to savor every moment he had with you. His pace was slow as he pulled out only to fill you up again and again. You called out his name and he swore, face burying in your neck. Danny's hips sped up and you whimpered, his hands slid to your waist both to hold you up and to pull you as close to him as he could. He had noticed the blooming bruises on your neck and now he laved them with attention, pressing soft tender kisses to the areas and nuzzling into you. 
You could tell he was starting to lose control again as his body jerked slightly when he pulled back and his grip on your waist tightened again to the point of slight pain. His breathy moans turned into deep grunts as he sped up suddenly pounding into you like he had earlier. Clinging to him his pace practically lifted you off your feet and you squeaked as he rammed into your cervix, legs buckling. Danny's face stayed buried in your neck, though now he was focused on marking up your collarbone with sucking and biting, while he destroyed you - fucking you so well you knew you would never be able to think of anyone but him. 
He suddenly jerked away from your neck as one hand came down to rub tight circles on your clit, your walls fluttering in pleasure at the stimulation, and you thought he must be close with the way he fucked into you. Your mouth fell open in pleasure as he quickly brought you to another peak, the crown of your head hitting against the wall as your head lolled backwards, his other hand grasped your chin again to pull you up - forcing you to look at him as you came. Body trembling you spasmed against him, pussy clenching and flexing as he slid against your tight walls, it was only moments later when he was tipping over the edge as the two of you locked eyes. 
For just a second his eyes flashed to their normal brilliant blue as he cried out your name before they darkened and a sheen covered his eye once again. His hips bucked deep, filling you to the brim, as his seed shot deep into your core. The feeling sent another wave of spasms through you as he painted your walls with him, claiming you in the most primal sense. As he finished his hips stilled as his head dropped to your shoulder and you stroked the back of his head and his hair softly. 
There was a pregnant pause before Danny was pulling away from you, both eyes blue once more, and tucking himself away into his pants. You quickly found your clothing and tugged it on not wanting to risk him losing control again and you figured you only had a short period of time while he had full control to get out of the hotel. Pausing you realized your shirt was torn clean in half and was unsalvageable. Danny stared, face pink with embarrassment, he quickly shucked his coat and pulled the flannel he was wearing over his head offering it to you. Gratefully you accepted it, pulling it over your head, with your dilemma solved you turned towards Danny and tugged his arm over your shoulder once he put his jacket back on. You knew his leg would make it harder for him to walk now that there wasn't supernatural support pushing him along and you also knew your time was limited considering the boiler room situation. Glancing at Danny you couldn't help the soft smile covering your face as you simply stated, "Let's get the fuck out of here."
Your eyes blinked open blinded slightly by the bright lights shining down on you. A groan left your lips as you sat up straight, having almost slid all the way off your chair at some point during your sleep. Wearily you sat up as you remembered your surroundings, the hospital. Shooting forward your eyes shot to the bed and your face heated when you met Danny's sweet gaze.
"G'morning." He softly said, you smiled and rose to come close to his bedside, your hand resting on his lightly. Smiling you replied with a gentle, "Good morning to you too. How are you feeling?"
"Well I'm on some pain medication so it's not too bad. How is..." He trailed off, face dropping in guilt as he motioned to your neck area. Reassuringly you squeezed his hand, "It's fine, not bad at all. Honestly the ache in my...." 
Your face heated at your thoughtless words before you muttered, "My soreness elsewhere is uhm distracting me."
Danny couldn't hold back a gentle laugh at your words as a blush rose to his cheeks another beautiful smile breaking out across his face. Your spare hand rose to stroke his face fondly before you paused and pulled your hand away, unsure of where your relationship stood with him. Dan's smile dropped slightly as his head tilted, he seemed to sense the problem as he whispered, "Darling I'm yours if you'll have me, I promise as soon as I get out of here I'll take you on a date and we can go from there."
For some reason his words overwhelmed you and tears pricked at your eyes, whether from relief or happiness you couldn't quite tell. Danny's eyes grew before he cooed out your name, hand tugging you forward so he could press soft kisses to your cheek whispering pleas not to cry into your skin. You nuzzled into his cheek before cupping his face once again as you pulled back finally ready to admit what you'd known all along, "Danny I'd love nothing more than for you to be mine, I think it's pretty clear by now. I love you Dan Torrance."

Sweet Love

Requested by the ever so awesome @micheleamidalajedi! I hope you enjoy this!
Have you ever been to Hell?
Well, my husband Dan and I survived the hell that was called the Overlook Hotel. After defeating Rose the Hat, the last surviving member of The True Knot, Dan had an injury in his leg from the axe hitting his upper leg. I was definitely limping around after being thrown down the stairs and landing really hard on my left foot and ankle.
Once we safely returned Abra home to her mom, Dan and I returned to our quaint cottage outside of town to recuperate from our injuries. I had ended up in a blue cast up half of my leg, due to finding out at the hospital that I broke my foot and sprained my ankle badly. Dan was able to get his leg taken care of and was told to take it easy.
We had some scars from our battle at the Overlook that we both earned and took like a champ. I had a real bad scar from my right temple down to my cheek. Dan had some minor scars among his face along with the smoke from the fire after trying to help me out.
'' Dan, I love you so, so much. I'm happy that we survived that hell. I love you, Mr. Torrance.'' I had told Dan before I hugged him and decided to start kissing him.
'' Y/N, I lo-'' Dan had started to say before I started kissing him deeply more and more before our make out session started getting heavier and heavier.
Before we knew it, Dan and I started to make sweet, passionate love to one another, just like it was our wedding night all over again.
Little did we know that new life was created from this night of passion, but that is for another time and place.

Reunited
Tumblr media
Made for the ever so awesome, @micheleamidalajedi. This is for you, my dear!
It was supposed to be a relaxing vacation between myself and my husband, Alex. I work as a registered nurse at a hospital while Alex is still a reporter back in Edinburgh. For our wedding anniversary, we traveled to Thailand for our vacation. Until one of the most devastating events happened, the dreadful tsunami.
With my medical background, I volunteered my time to help the local hospitals and tend to the people that were affected by this natural disaster event. Of course. my heart thought of my beloved Alex, and my heart ached to be within his arms once again. Little did I know, that he was a hero in his own right, rescuing a little girl who was swept up in the water and survived the ordeal until Alex had rescued her.
I was working in the emergency room, when I heard someone shouting that someone needed help. It was Alex! He was carrying the little girl in his arms, who was clinging to Alex and not wanting to let go.
' Oh Alex! I thought that I would never see you again! Oh, I'm so happy to see you.' I cried as I embraced my husband like my life depended on it.
' It's so good to see you my love. Never ever leave me again, my dear. I could not stand to be without you a minute longer.' Alex said as he kissed me soundly before hugging me some more.
Next time, let's hope that we go somewhere where it is peaceful.

From A Damsel to A Queen
Tumblr media
Looking out into Gotham Cathedral from the bridal suite, I was mentally preparing myself for the wedding between myself and Roman Sionis. We first met when I had accidentally bumped into Roman at his club, The Black Mask. I profusely apologized to him about it, and he took my many apologies. We sat around for the longest time talking about anything and everything, and including meeting Roman's right-hand man, Victor Zsasz, who I found to be quite like a brother figure to me.
From that night on, Roman and I really hit it off well. We had so many dinner dates, dates at his club, lunch dates, and anything in between. I felt myself falling for Roman more and more each day. I was truly falling in love. Then, on my 27th birthday, Roman proposed to me in front of everyone at the Black Mask Club. I accepted of course, now that I was set to become the future Mrs. Rebecca Sionis.
But today, is one of the most important days of my life. It's my wedding day and I'm marrying the love of my life. I'm literally pacing around, beginning to freak the hell out. I make my way to the door, where Victor is standing outside of.
''Victor, could you please get me Roman? I'm begging you. I'm beginning to have a meltdown and I need to at least hear his voice. Please, my dearest friend!'' I began to cry before shutting the door and walking over to the vanity to cry my eyes out.
A few moments pass, and I hear the knocking on the door. ''Come in!'' I cry out before I began to cry again. In an instant, I felt warm hands on my upper arms. It was Roman, who had a tissue in his hand for me.

Doc Holiday
A Dan Torrance x Reader Holiday fanfic. Gif, not mine. From here. And its from A Long Way Up if I remember correctly.
Word Count: ~2400
Warnings: None. Pure holiday fluff.
Tumblr media
The holidays were always a hard time at the Helen Rivington House. Weather depending, some of the residents would have visitors, but many of them were left here alone. 
I guess the most wonderful time of the year would be ruined by the sound of grandpa’s labored breathing, or grandma’s coughing, you thought sadly as you closed your shop across the way.
You wanted to do something for the residents. After all, just because their family had forgotten them didn’t mean that you would. That was how you got the idea for your weekend plans. You had a surplus of holiday decor in the back of the shop left over from the previous owner. You’d thought it was a little silly to go all out with the bookstore, especially since you found business to be a little harder these days. Still, you hadn’t had the heart to get rid of them. Now you were grateful for that decision.
The next day, you went to the Rivington House, dragging a wagon full of supplies behind you. The nurse on duty gave you an odd look.
“Can I help you?” she asked.
“I had some extra supplies and was wondering if I could decorate in here for the holidays?” you asked hopefully, bouncing slightly on your feet.
A warm smile grew on her face, “Oh, they’ll love that. We’re a little short on staff today, though, so you’ll be decorating on your own.”
“That’s okay,” you said with a small smile. “Just means I can be a perfectionist.”
She chuckled softly, holding the door to the living room open for you. The room wasn’t much, but it would do. Looking over at the few residents in the room, you could see them glancing at you with interest. 
“Whatcha got there, youngin’?” an old man asked.
“Holiday decorations,” you blushed before digging around in one of your boxes. “Would you be willing to help make some of the decorations for me?”
“I’m not sure it’ll be any good,” he said, looking down at his hands. “Arthritis is a bitch.” He looked up at you. “Don’t get old.”
You smiled softly at him before placing some stockings and fabric paint on the table. “It’s the thought that counts. It doesn’t have to look like it belongs at Macy’s. I just thought it would be nice to make stockings for the staff.”
“That I can do,” he said, taking a bottle of green paint from your supplies.
You nodded before turning back to the room, turning on some holiday music on your phone. Eventually, you found yourself digging around in your boxes to assemble the Christmas tree after putting up a Menorah on one of the tables.
A small chuckle breezed through your lips. You hadn’t assembled a Christmas tree in years, you realized as you fluffed out the branches. Soon, it was ready for the ornaments. You passed some out to the residents to hang wherever they saw fit as you went to get a ladder from the broom closet so that you could put the star on the top when you were done. 
Placing the ladder against the wall you realized just how rickety it was. The rungs creaked with every step, much to your chagrin. You were so close to the top that you couldn’t possibly give up now. Leaning over, you tried to reach the top of the tree, causing the ladder to wobble as you leaned further than it was able to handle. 
It happened in slow motion.
Your hand triumphantly placed the star on the top of the tree.
Then, you started to tilt backwards away from the wall. Your eyes widened in horror as you realized what was about to happen. Scrunching them shut, you braced for an impact with the floor that never came.
Instead, you found yourself in a strong pair of arms.
“Are you alright?” your savior asked.
Opening your eyes, you realized who it was. If you had been so inclined to write a letter to Santa this year, you would have asked for this man to be under your tree. His blue eyes were more beautiful than any of the ornaments on the tree, and here in his arms was warmer than any fire place you could sit in front of. You’d fallen for him long ago, but every day you were reminded of exactly why you had. Now, if only the feeling was mutual, you thought. 
"I’m alright. I can think of worse people to fall for,” you blushed, realizing what you said and stammered out a quick, “I mean fall on. Worse people to fall on.” 
The man smiled down at you, the corner of his eyes crinkling at the action. “You should be more careful. There’s a reason why that ladder was in the closet,” he said warmly as he placed you back down on your own two feet.
“The residents said-”
“The residents don’t always have the most accurate information,” he said softly.
“I heard that, Doc!” the man working on the stockings grumbled.
“Oh, yeah, Charlie? Good. It was directed at you,” he teased, coming over to inspect what he was working on.
“Well, looks like you’re getting coal in your stocking,” Charlie belly-laughed. “Aren’t you awake a little early, Danny boy?”
Dan shrugged, locking eyes with you, a small smile tugging at the corner of his lips, “Couldn’t sleep when I heard all the commotion downstairs.”
Part of you wondered if he knew who you were. The town was small enough, that surely he had heard about you. But, did he know who you were to him? Did he know you were the one that left him little unsigned letters here and there? If his gift was as powerful as you’d heard it was, then he surely knew it was you, and yet he didn’t betray that knowledge ever.
“Doc, do me a favor and hang this on the fireplace, would ya?” Charlie asked, passing him the stocking. It had Dan’s name spelled in the squiggly letters of an unsure hand along the top and a well-intentioned candy cane on the actual sock. 
“Sure, Charlie,” Dan said, patting his shoulder before hanging it next to the others in a row. He stepped back to admire the room. “Well, I think it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in this place.”
“You know what would make it more like Christmas?” you asked softly.
“What?” he asked with a look of amusement, turning to face you.
You gestured for him to bend slightly to give you his ear. “You know, I’ve got a Santa suit and presents back at the shop,” you whispered in his ear.
“Really?” he asked with a wide grin.
“Yeah. Want to help?” you asked nervously, rocking on your feet again.
“I’d love to. But, what about the rest of your decorations?” 
“We can handle that,” Charlie said, teetering over towards the boxes on unsteady feet.
You and Dan shared a look.
“I’ll supervise,” one of the nurses quickly said. 
Dan gave her an appreciative nod before following you back to the shop. 
He looked around the stacks of books as you went to fetch the re-shelf cart.
“It’s kind of you to do this,” Dan commented as he lazily perused the stacks.
You blushed, back towards him as you set the cart nearby. “I just think everyone should have a present on Christmas,” you murmured before turning. “Now, tell me what everyone is into and I’ll pull a book. I’ve got gift bags in the back that we can put them in afterwards.”
Dan closed his eyes, thinking about his residents. “Delilah loves romance novels. She’s always watching the Hallmark channel. Robert is into submarines. He used to build them after getting back from World War Two. Lily likes to learn about different religions.”
You dug through the racks, puling books here and there, “And Charlie?”
A small chuckle breezed through his lips, “Charlie likes books on the Civil War. He was a re-enactor in the day.”
“Did New Hampshire have a lot fo battles?” you asked in amusement as you stretched up to reach the book you had in mind. It was barely in your reach.
“No, but he used to travel a lot to be a part of them,” he replied, coming up behind you to take it down.
You turned slightly, noticing just how close you were. Swallowing a nervous lump, you murmured, “You know your residents really well.”
His eyes trailed your face, settling briefly on your lips before flicking back up to your eyes, “When you care for someone every day, you get to know them well.”
“I’m sure the appreciate you.”
“Probably, but it’s me who appreciates them,” he breathed. “If it wasn’t for this job, this place, I don’t think I would have stayed. I never would have found a place that accepted me as I am and felt like home.”
“You’re a nomad?” you asked with a slight up-tilt to the side of your mouth.
“Something like that,” he said as he took a step back, distancing himself in more ways that physically as he put the book on the cart.
The two of you went on like this for another thirty minutes until you had books for everyone, bagged and tagged, ready to be given away. Then, you handed Dan the Santa suit to change into as you pulled on an elf outfit. While you were waiting for him, you loaded your cart up with the gifts.
“Have you been naughty or nice?” Dan purred, coming out from the back, his clothes folded under his arm.
You licked your lips. “I believe in the duality of man. I can be very nice, but-” you walked your fingers up his suit, playfully bold in your elf costume-” for you, I could be very naughty.”
Dan felt his mouth go dry as you playfully tugged on his fake beard. 
“Rosy cheeks, check,” you winked as you went to grab the cart. “Ready?”
“Let’s spread some Christmas cheer,” Dan said as he got the door.
The two of you decided to visit the bed bound residents first before congregating in the living room for everyone else. Seeing the smiles on everyones faces warmed your heart and reaffirmed why you were doing this. All of the residents lit up as you came into view, as well as the staff. Well... most of them. 
“Aren’t you a little old to be dressing up, Doc?” a male nurse teased with a sneer. He looked you over lasciviously. “What’s this? Santa and his ‘ho, ho, ho’?”
“Back off,” Dan said, tapping him firmly in the chest. 
“Or what? You’ll sic Azzie on me? Get real, Doc,” he huffed before moving on, deciding that the two of you weren’t worth the effort.
Dan gave you an apologetic smile, “I’ll make sure he gets coal.”
You reached over and took his hand to squeeze. “Let’s finish this up in the living room. I know how scratchy that beard is.”
The two of walked into the living room to find a group of residents seated for you.
“Doc, you can take the beard off if you want. We know it’s you,” Charlie chuckled.
“Are you sure it won’t ruin the illusion, Charlie?” he teased as he tugged it off to free his face.
“It’s already nice enough what you’re doing,” Charlie replied, “Nothing could ruin that.”
Dan nodded before turning to take the first bag from you. In a few short minutes, everyone had their presents and were chatting amicably about their new reads.
“It looks like your idea was a hit,” Dan said quietly for just you to hear.
You blushed, giving a small shrug, “In my house we always got a book on Christmas to have something to read going into the new year.”
“That’s a sweet tradition,” he smiled.
“I’d always leave the last chapter for New Year’s Eve. I wanted to pretend that ending the year was like ending a book,” you said shyly.
“There are worse views to have,” he replied, wrapping an arm around your shoulder to walk you out.
“Ahem,” Charlie called loudly, causing the two of you to stop and turn to him. Playfully, he pointed up.
Your eyes widened as they spotted the mistletoe, stealthily hidden in the doorway. Then, your eyes fell onto Dan’s blue eyes that were staring at you intently.
He blinked and then looked down. “You don’t have t-”
You took his face in your hands and kissed him, tilting your head slightly to avoid bumping noses. Reflexively, his arms wrapped around your waist to pull you against him. Your hands slid down to settle on the velvet shoulders of his suit as you gently pulled away, dialing down the heat of your kiss as you remembered that you had an audience that was hooting and hollering behind you. Sheepishly, you waved to them before quickly leaving. Your steps were swift as you made it back to your bookstore.
“Wait!” Dan called as he ran after you, an initiative he took after Charlie yelled at him.
You heard the bell on the door ring as he entered, walking steadily towards you.
“Look, I didn’t want to make things awkward, its just the mistletoe ru-” you started to say but were cut off by his lips on yours again. You melted into him, wrapping your arms around him to deepen the kiss.
“I think that was the best Christmas present I’ve ever gotten,” he said sincerely when you pulled back. 
“The kiss?” you asked breathlessly.
“You,” he corrected. “And... Charlie said I would be a fool if I returned the best thing I could have gotten. So, this is me saying I want to keep my present.”
“I don’t know, Dan,” you sighed.
“I know it’s you,” he admitted. “You’re the one who’s been leaving me notes since I moved in. Every time I considered moving, I’d get a note and I’d remind myself that at least one person wants me here, so I should stay to get to know them.”
“Why didn’t you say anything?”
“Why didn’t you?” he countered.
You sighed, “Fair point.”
“Well, you know what I want for Christmas,” he said, sitting in a chair and pulling you onto his lap. “Tell Santa what you want for Christmas.”
A chuckle tumbled out at the absurdity of it all, “You, Dan-ta. I want you.”
“I’ll see what I can do,” he replied nonchalantly.
You playfully whacked his chest. “Dan!”
He laughed, catching your hand before a second whack and kissing your knuckles. “Merry Christmas, baby.”
“Merry Christmas, Dan,” you smiled.
