Why am I suddenly getting a ton of Wanda hate discourse on my dash?
I don't care if you see her as a villain or a misunderstood hero. The answer will always be "the MCU fucked her over so hard she's non-existent to her counter part and created a harsh divide in a fandom where there shouldn't be one "

Corset-Trained (Ch.2 with Smut)!!
HIIIIIII YALL this is long-awaited second chapter to Corset-Trained, which you can find on my Ao3 or if you scroll down on my tumblr page!! I hope its enjoyable this is my first time writing smut lmao.
----
“Then, you mind doing that again?” Sanji says, and there’s no time to form a coherent thought before Zoro’s caging him against the table in the galley with his hands wandering up Sanji’s shirt.
“You’re a fucking animal, you know that right?” Sanji simpers as he gives Zoro an appreciative once over. Zoro mumbles something like ‘yeah, whatever’ and dips his thumbs into the waistband of Sanji’s dress pants to untuck the rest of his shirt- a shiver crawls up his spine from the calloused fingers ghosting along his v-line.
This escalated really quickly, Sanji thinks, but he also realizes he doesn’t mind much. “Eyes up here,” he says to Zoro, and when hazy gray eyes meet his own, he grabs the man by the scruff on the back of his neck to pull him into a kiss. It’s rough, at first, and Zoro’s teeth clack unceremoniously against his own. Threading his hands through Zoro’s hair, he tilts his head to the side for better access. 
They fall into a rhythm quickly, the mellow push and pull of Zoro’s lips against his steadily ramping up until they’re pressed together everywhere, panting into each other’s mouths. 
“Jesus, fuck, you animal,” Sanji gets out between the deep breaths he takes, lamenting over his shirt that Zoro has now ripped half the buttons out.
“You’ll live,” Zoro gripes, watching as Sanji strips the rest of the blue cotton off and discards it in the corner. 
“This shit was expensive!” 
“Oh, fuck off.” Then strong hands grip his waist fimly and fucking heft him up onto the table.
Theoretically, Sanji knows Zoro is able to pick him up -what,with all three swords he wields- but experiencing it is a different thing. The world tilts on it’s axis momentarily as Sanji’s seated onto the hard wood of the table. He peers down at the other man from where he’s newly perched, and goddamn is it a sight.
Zoro’s as flushed as he is, his hair mussed from the hands running through it. His lips are red and swollen and he’s staring directly Sanji with the most want he’s ever seen on the man’s face before. 
“Let me suck your dick,” Zoro says, completely unprompted.
Sanji pauses. What? “...What?” He breathes. Did he heair that right?
Zoro swallows, and Sanji tracks the movement of his throat all the way through the motion. 
“Let me- please.” Zoro says again, hands moving to grip Sanji’s thighs. This is the first time Sanji has ever heard that word come out of Zoro’s mouth… like, ever,  and the way his voice quavers when he says it goes straight to Sanji’s dick. 
“Shit, okay-”  And no sooner than the admission passses Sanji’s lips is Zoro unbuckling Sanji’s dress pants, pulling down his boxers just enough to expose Sanji’s painfully hard cock to the heated air of the galley. 
A bead of preecum escapes from the red tip of Sanji’s dick, and Zoro’s eyes flash up to meet his own of before Sanji feels Zoro’s tongue slide up the underside of it. Abruptly, Zoro wraps his lips around him and takes him down to the hilt.  
“Jesus christ,” Sanji croaks, the heat suddenly enveloping him almost too much to bear. He can feel everything, from the ridges on the roof of Zoro’s mouth to the flat of Zoro’s tongue twitching against his cock. Zoro glances up, eyes asking a silent question.
“Keep- keep going.” The pace that Zoro sets from the beginning is fast, the tip of Sanji’s length hitting the back of his throat every time he bobs down. Zoro’s mouth is tight, and wet, and messy, and Sanji can’t do much besides sit back and try to stifle his moans. Zoro simply hums in response, the vibration sending pangs of pleasure down to Sanji’s fucking toes.  
Sanji threads a trembling hand through Zoro’s hair, half muttered praises falling from his lips as the heat in his gut grows. At some point, Sanji’s nose begins to bleed again- he doesn’t know when. It’s all bordering on overstimulating, the combination of Zoro’s mouth and his hands harshly grasping the muscle on Sanji’s thighs making it incredibly hard to focus..
“‘M’gonna cum,” Sanji slurs, and he isn’t really sure if it’s because he’s high off pleasure or the alcohol’s found it’s way into his system. Either way, Zoro comes off with an audible ‘pop’ and leans into the brusining kiss Sanj pulls him into. It tastes overwhelmingly like copper, but neither of them mind all that much.
Zoro finishes Sanji off with a few quick strokes, and the mess splatters between them as Sanji cums with a choked whine cut off by Zoro’s lips against his. 
“Fuck”, Sanji breathes after they part, riding out the rest of his post-orgasmic haze and tucking himself back into his boxers. “You sucked the soul outta me.” That gets a gravelly chuckle out of the man in front of him.
“Well, when you have a sword in your mouth all day-”
“Don’t finish that sentence, marimo.”
Zoro rolls his eyes, swiping a tissue from the counter to wipe off the rapidly drying cum off of both of their pants. 
After they (and the poor, poor, coffee table) are adequately clean, Sanji prepares to shut the lights in the galley while Zoro waits by the door.
“You owe me for that shirt, by the way,” Sanji remarks, snuffing out the candle hung on the galley’s door. 
Zoro huffs. “Whatever you say, curly.” Sanji feels an arm wrap around his midsection as he’s pulled in for another kiss. It’s short and chaste, a contrast to the one delivered to him about five minutes ago. 
“Oh, fuck you,” Sanji gripes, Leaving Zoro standing against the doorway in the galley as he marches over to the men's quarters.
“We can do that tomorrow!”

Could I request a part two of Sky x Mind Fairy! Reader? Thank you very much :)
A little danger
Pairing: Sky of Eraklyon x mind!fairy
Tumblr media
P   A   R   T       2
Picking at her cuticles, Y/N couldn’t focus in class. It’s always been difficult for her to exercise control over her magic and plenty have tried to teach her how to quiet the voices she’s constantly praying would go away, but no one came closer than headmistress Dowling.
Under her care, Y/N had very few incidents regarding her magic. Ever since she disappeared, it’s been impossible to get through a single day without issues that made other students wary. No one wanted to be around an out of control fairy with the power many have compared to ancient magic most fairies only get pieces of.
“Perhaps Miss Y/L/N can enlighten us?”
Snapping out of her daze, Y/N can sense the anxiety all of her classmates feel with steady streams of support from a few who harbor empathy – Stella, Musa, Terra, Aisha, Bloom and the new girl she hasn’t met yet. Y/N was never close to any of the girls, sharing a few words with Musa from time to time. Truth be told, she couldn’t let herself care for anyone, she couldn’t burden herself with anyone’s emotions when her own try to drown her daily.
“About what?” She asks carefully and the professor’s annoyance is evident even to those who aren’t mind fairies.
“About mind fairies abilities.”
Clearing her voice, she glances at Musa. “That depends.” Licking her lips, she lets out a shuddered breath. “Weaker mind fairies only sense emotions. Stronger ones can influence such emotions – either change them or take them away completely which can be as debilitating as a sword to the heart if the fairy wills it so.”
Inhaling deeply, she forces herself to look ahead at the professor. “Others can read minds or even control some of them. If the victims are weak minded, unaware of the attack, they can succumb to a powerful mind fairy.” Furrowing her brows, she swallows thickly. “And then there are those who possess the ancient magic”, she can feel everyone’s on edge, worried she might snap once again. Some have even cowered behind their desks in anticipation.
“Those fairies can use telekinesis as well as do all the things aforementioned.”
“Can they transform”, Musa asks and Y/N turns to her with concern.
“I don’t know.”
After class, Y/N stayed behind. Last thing she needs is to find herself in the panicked group of students fleeing the class to get away from her. Their emotions could be dangerous and she’s exhausted, hoping for a single moment of peace.
“I know how it feels”, Musa’s voice lingers in her mind. She didn’t speak it to her, she thought it. And she knew Y/N could hear.
“The constant fear of killing everyone? Really?” Y/N chuckles dryly.
“No, but the voices”, Musa speaks. “They never quiet for me either.”
“Do you feel it, though?” Y/N turns to her with tears in her eyes. “Something’s different since Dowling abandoned the school.”
“Yeah”, Musa stands. “It’s been impossible to ignore everyone’s fears and anxieties.”
“I feel the rage”, Y/N bites her lower lip. “I feel pure, unadulterated rage and hatred and grief and danger I cannot explain.”
Frowning, Musa folds her arms over her chest. “From who?”
Shrugging, Y/N’s lips quiver. “I can’t focus hard enough to identify them. But something bad is coming our way and the fairies that have gone missing cannot be a coincidence.”
Nodding, Musa nears her. “We agree.”
“We?”
Within the hour, Y/N found herself surrounded by the very girls she’s been avoiding. They didn’t fear her, though some, like Aisha, kept a healthy dose of concern alive.
“So, you’re telling me Rosalind is summoning some creatures that are taking fairies but none of you know for what purpose?”
Glancing at each of the girls staring at her, Y/N sighs. They haven’t got a clue what’s happening, but neither does she. At least now, Y/N can breathe easily. The constant feeling of dread that’s been taking apart her sanity makes sense. There is something amidst here and she’s not losing control for no reason.
“Alright. So how do we find out?”
Bloom raises her brows, pointing at the girls. “We will.”
Snorting, Y/N shakes her head. “Why bother telling me all of this if I’m not allowed to take part in any of it?”
“Because you’re having control issues and that’s not something we can gamble on.”
Crossing her arms over her chest, Y/N leans back on the wall. “Really, Bloom? We’re talking about control issues now?”
Sighing, Bloom looks at the girls for support but no one says a word. “Sky would kill us.”
“What does he have to do with this?” Stepping closer, Y/N scowls. “What did your boyfriend tell you?”
Frowning, Bloom licks her lips. “He’s not my boyfriend.”
Rolling her eyes, Y/N shakes her head. “Everyone knows about you two.”
“They’re wrong”, Bloom exclaims. “We’re just too different and decided being friends would be for the best a while ago.”
“And at what point did he decide that you’d all report to him about what I do?”
“The moment Blood witches became part of the story”, Bloom replies.
Biting the inside of her bottom lip, Y/N nods to herself. “You didn’t tell me they’re involved too.”
Blood witches are the natural enemies of all fairies, but their rivalry with mind fairies is incomparable to others. Mind fairies, if powerful enough, can wield identical magic, difference being mind fairies can soil their plans but they cannot fight back.
“It’s complicated.” Musa speaks up.
“Sure it is”, Y/N smiles but it doesn’t reach her eyes. “If you need me, Musa has my number.”
Rushing out of the dorms, Y/N headed straight for the forest. She can feel her own anger bubbling up, tightening inside her chest. Her powers are escalating again, sounds of everyone’s thoughts playing inside her mind are louder, screaming in unison and she cannot find her own voice in their violent chorus.
Grimacing, she’s running past the specialist training grounds, feeling she’s losing the last inkling of hope for an incident free day. And she was doing so well for once, there were moments of pure silence she could hold onto in the morning, especially when she’d daydream.
Falling to her knees, heaving, she tried to pinpoint where she’s gone to but the world is spinning around her as her throat closes up with the panic crawling down to her lungs to rob her of the ability to breathe.
She can’t hold on, the reigns she’s been gripping so tightly have left her with rope burns that send searing pain throughout her very being. And so she gives up. She relents control, allowing the pain out in the world, screaming out as the wildfire burning in her lungs makes its way out her throat.
It’s a raw, powerful way to release emotions, destructible in ways she never dreamed of becoming. The trees around her fall to their sides from the impact as her telekinetic magic escapes her, ripping them from their roots. And in that moment, the woods have cleared, allowing sunshine to warm her tear-stricken face.
And as her focus returns, she doesn’t hear thousands of thoughts plaguing her as usual. She only hears one.
That hurt.
“Sky?!”
Scrambling to her feet, she looks around frantically. In that moment she found the source of both peace and frustrations that she convinced herself is unnecessary in her life, but her heart is screaming otherwise.
“Here”, he raises a hand.
Seeing him on the ground, her heart drops. She did that. She hurt him. She didn’t mean to, but it happened and she has no excuse.
Covering her mouth, she chokes back a sob.
“Are you happy now?!” Her voice is raspy, filled with concern and unimaginable hurt.
Lifting his head, he furrows his eyebrows. “Why are you the one that’s mad at me?”
“Because you could have died!” Coming closer to him, she finds him propping himself up on his elbows. “I could have killed you!”
“But you didn’t”, he smirks. “Besides, I always wanted to know what it feels like to fly.”
Narrowing her eyes at him, her lips part. “Oh my God, you’re insane.”
Chuckling, he sits up. “Just matching your energy.”
“Fuck you!”
“I wish you would”, Sky jokes and her jaw drops.
“Are you Riven?” She furrows her brows. “Did he somehow insert himself in your body?”
“No”, Sky stands up, holding his stomach. Wincing, he licks his lips. “I don’t know why I said that. I’m sorry. Didn’t mean to be crude.”
“Lift up your shirt.” She crosses her arms over her chest.
“What?”
“Wanna make it up to me? Lift up your shirt!”
Sighing, he grabs the hem of his shirt. “You didn’t do this to me”, he says quietly as she comes closer. Revealing a bandage running ‘round his stomach, Y/N swallows thickly at the sight.
Reaching to the area where he was gripping his stomach moments ago, Y/N pauses before her fingertips touch the bandage.
“Who did this to you?”
“Training’s been different lately”, Sky takes hold of her hand, allowing it to rest over the bandage. The hesitation and the shakiness of her fingers are more painful than the wound itself.
“I’m sorry”, she whispers, eyes still focused on his hand over hers.
“For what?”
“For being unable to protect you.” Looking up, she finds his blue eyes already on her. “If I were a different fairy, I could help you – protect you or heal you, but I’m useless. If anything, I’m a danger for you.”
“You think you don’t heal me?” Sky laughs. “I remember when we met.” Exhaling loudly, he places her hand over his heart now. “Saul and your mom were friends and we spent so much time together. You had the prettiest smile and the happiest laugh I’ve ever heard.”
“And you always teased me about my inability to spar with you properly.”
“Because I liked you”, Sky admits. “You were like the sun and then you were gone.”
“I started exhibiting powers”, Y/N explains. “I hurt you.”
“You barely left a mark”, he insists.
Shaking her head, she bites her lower lip. Dropping her gaze, she lets out a heavy sigh. “There was so much blood.”
Bowing his head, he uses his free hand to show her the scar. “And yet I cherished this every day since you were taken from my life.”
“You’re masochist”, she deadpans.
“Just a guy who really missed his childhood friend.”
“That you liked”, she smiles softly and for the first time in a painfully long time, Sky sees the smile he spent years yearning for.
“Like”, he tucks her hair behind her ear. “I never forgot about you.”
“The terrible sparring partner who almost killed you”, she reminds him. “I’m incredibly dangerous. People around me tend to die.”
“I’m not leaving you.”
“You should”, she winces. “Ever since the Burned ones attacked the school, whatever control I had was lost.” The sounds of their suffering have unhinged her that night and they haunt her still.
Releasing her hand, he smiles as she keeps it over his chest. She can hear his mind, feel his emotions if she wants to, yet she holds on to the feeling of his heart beating against his chest frantically for her as if she doesn’t trust her abilities, only what’s under the palm of her hand.
Placing the tip of his index finger under her chin, he tilts her head up to meet her gaze bravely. “I’m not leaving you”, he repeats solemnly.
“Because I’m your fairy?”
Cupping her cheeks, he leans his forehead on hers. “Because you make me glad I’m alive.”

Too Far Gone
He hated it, the power she held over him. That she'd never needed her magic to see into the poisoned depths of him. The pressure that never seemed to escape the cage of his ribs. The ache, worse than any blade that had pierced his skin. Worse than any broken bone or wound from a Burned One.
And yet he loved it. That the never-ending pain only ever dulled when he was with her.

You’re an Angel (I’m a Dog)
Fargo || Ole Munch x Fem!Reader
Word Count: 18,830
When an odd man takes up residence in your spare bedroom and inadvertently establishes himself as your tall and brooding guest, you can’t help but feel a growing affection for him and his quirky ways. Likewise, the man can’t wrap his head around your unlikely kindness and predilection to care for him. You're both left trying to navigate the confusing, choppy waters of blossoming feelings and forgiveness, while avoiding the currents of the harsh outside world.
Here is my humble contribution to yet another tragically small fandom. Idk what happened in my brain for me to be able to write this but I'm not complaining. It’s my sappiest and most domestic work yet I think.

Undertale/ISAT crossover thoughts
Don't really want to write one myself (already got enough fics I'm failing to write XD) but ever since I finished In Stars and Time I've been thinking how I'd write a crossover between these two amazing games and I figured I'd share my notes in case anyone needs a bit of help/motivation in writing their own~ =D
Warning: These will mostly be in 'order of thought' as it's all barebones stuff. Also contains FULL spoilers for both Undertale and In Stars and Time so er, if you're still looking to play those/still getting through them don't read this and please play this incredible games.
Mt Ebott is located on The Island and the shattering of the Barrier brings the ability to see color back to all those on the (ISAT) surface.
Humans losing the ability to see color in ISAT was due to them/the 'wish wizards' of The Island sacrificing it (along side their seven strongest 'colour casters') in a Wish Craft ritual, naturally leading to humanity losing most of their 'colour magic' knowledge.
Undertale's 'sepia flashbacks' were all Chara's memories of how the world looked to them, BUT once in the Underground they were able to see (and remember things on the Surface) in color (hence the whole 'golden flowers' bit; it was still mostly just a cover story but Chara genuinely wished that they could see their favorite flower field as the 'gold' they realized it was rather than the 'mid tones' they saw it as on the Surface).
...The 'erasure' of the Island I'm thinking might've been accidentally poor Chara and Asriel's fault: with Chara's 'ritual' killing of themselves via buttercup taking three days to happen, Chara being from the Island insisting Asriel always give them flowers in groups of three, seven and thirteen, and an entire Underground filled with tons and tons of 'trapped' wishes from monster kind for their freedom combining with Chara's self loathing/desire to hurt those who hurt them trapping them in a loop that Just. Wouldn't. End. until Chara eventually snapped and pulled a 'May these people, this Island, EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE WHO'D EVER HURT THE MONSTERS I LOVE including me BE ERASED UNTIL THE MONSTERS ARE FREE!' and um. Welp. There went an entire nation... (also Flowey eventually remembered some of this but only after going back to being Flowey post Asriel and probably it took a while for him to sort through all that).
Which er, means in this fic, that the people of The Island and the Island itself are still 100% there but they've all spent roughly 8 years or so all blitzed out of their minds: Need to think of Chara's exact wish wording so its not just 'corpses everywhere' but very good odds the people on the Island were either running on full automatic for years or able to remember some stuff but only if they very very carefully did not think of themselves as their own countrymen/used the languages of elsewhere/were careful not to think of where they were as any actual location within their country...
...Which naturally would effect the kids by far the most as their very language is basically a brown note (bilingual types could at least swap over to a different language but likely most of The Island was rendered silent) and well, pretty hard to remember Mt Ebbot is the mountain that must not be climbed when you can't think of the locations around you by name and the adults may or may not remember the kids exist half the time so... Yeah. Cue a lot of kids climbing up the mountain due to both lack of warnings and increased chances of feeling ignored/isolated/hurt.
Aka why in Undertale we can never hear/read anything Frisk says, why the monsters outside of Flowey/Asriel never refer to Chara by name and why no one remembers Frisk's name until after the Barrier shatters: Chara's 'Wish' couldn't be broken until then.
Not sure where all the anime and high tech that's washing into the Underground is coming from but either The Island used to be a massive tech hub prior to memory erasure, a LOT of tech was lost along with the loss of color or The Island's memory erasure in the ISAT world color magitech? maybe the wizards tried to seal away more than just monsters?, or IDK maybe the Underground barrier techincally had them displaced outside of Space and Time a bit and the garbage that was washing in was from literally everywhere thanks to the Universe wanting to help them or something (side note: realizing the memory erasure from Chara may have accidentally snipped Universe worship from the monsters as well since they clearly venerate the stars also but well. That longing for the stars DID cause them pain so..).
Imagining that Siffrin and party are in Bambouche meeting Bonnie's sister (or idk, having a vacation or reunion there if you wanna give Siff a bit more recovery/'explaining his issues to his family' time) when the Barrier is broken and all the colors come rushing back. Best first sunset ever (right before the entire Surface world kinda flips out over color, and to a lesser extent those familiar with The Island start remembering more and more details as the 'curse' weakens a little with every monster leaving Mt Ebbot) followed up by Siffren and the others absolutely losing their minds over how beautiful the stars are with just a tiny bit of color to them (the stars no longer being passively pushed out of people's awareness helps).
Anyway next day the party realize they have to investigate: Partly because Siff is well, kind of losing their mind over being able to see and remember home a little, but also because W.T.F and the Island is clearly the epicenter of everything going on. ...Also Siff may remember childhood stories about colors being locked away to serve as warning for if the Monsters returned so um. That's could be a thing.
Meanwhile the Monsters are getting a MUCH warmer reception from the local humans than they ever could've imagined (accidentally saving a nation from enforced amnesia kinda does that) and are also very confused as to why no one knows who they should get in contact with for formal alliance stuff (not sure if The Island has much of a government left at this point honestly...)
Would Flowey and the ghosty Chara acompanying Frisk count as Sadnesses???
... And er, that's all I got plot/setup wise. Most of my brain energy had been spent on imagining what soul colors all the ISAT cast have and also 'What Pokemon would they all be if they ended up in a Pokemon Mystery Dungeon game?' so have a list with my reasoning on that front! =D
Siffrin: Blue/Integrity - Might seem like an odd choice given his constant lying/acting but like. Given all of the memory erasure and the torture of the loops Siffrin's absolute refusal to compromise his family's happiness/safety or use the loops for literally anything not 'helping family/ending the loops' based (even when he's basically losing his mind and could really use just... Taking a loop or three to goof off or something) just screams how devoted he is to what he believes in and well, the amount he lies syncs up well with how insane he's going so yeah. Siffren is an Integrity soul who's having a really really hard time being true to himself due to all the wobbie breaking he's gone through all his life. Specifically I like to picture his soul as a very dark, deep black/blue with little pinpricks of other colored light (mostly green, red and yellow), like a tiny heart shaped starry night's sky <3 (And er, bet that soul went very 'red/bleeding sky' as he was losing it in Act 5; Determination isn't his color by nature but they were not well at that point at all).
Isabeau: Cyan/Patience - Isa is super kind and all sorts of things but what really sets him apart is just how patient he is about everything (in ways both good and bad). I like to imagine his soul looking like a blue daytime sky, maybe with the odd white cloud and yellow 'sun' dot: partly because it fits him but also partly to cutely contrast Siffrin's. *cue me humming Like Morning Follows Night from the RWBY OST because I mean. It kinda fits honestly
Mirabelle: Orange/Bravery and/or Yellow/Justice - Again another 'you might not think so' but like. Mirabelle is hella gutsy despite her anxiety and I admire her so so much (also JUSTICE BARRIER REFLECT AGAINST THE KING YAAAAGH! XD) Not super attached to it as Isa and Siff's but the orange/yellow glow of a sunset (maybe with some pink/purple along the edges to show her Perseverance <3).
Odiel: Green/Kindness - She's hella awkward about how much she cares and not the greatest at reading situations/reacting gently but like. Her sheer affection towards the others, her always watching and coming out with the bandages and how she point blank tells Siff 'nope, not angry at you nearly blowing up the world. Also you trying to do that because you love us is cute' means I can't really see her any other way~ Not sure if her soul would be dark green (for more Integrity) or more light green (for more Justice) but all in all, very very green, like light/dark speckled leaves <3
Bonnie: Purple/Perseverance - This kid endures so much so well I swear (they're also really brave so a little orange would work well too but despite everything I don't think bravery is their main characteristic). I like to think of their soul as very 'purple evening clouds with bits of brave orange gold/setting sun on the edges'.
And Loop has a White boss monster soul for reasons; thinking that in this crossover that Monsters believe that they were born from the Universe's compassion (with The Islander's myths claiming they're the result of failed/'cursed' wishes like the 'brother who can understand my suffering Wish Craft' fairytale Siff finds in the Orary room) and both Monsters and the Islanders believing Sadnesses are born from forcing a wish of cruelty/sorrow that goes against the will of the Universe (cue Chara and Flowey who probably were Sadnesses in this until the breaking of the Barrier grumbling that yeah that sounds about right and The King from ISAT proving to even more aaagh than he already was).
And yeah. I'm out of babble thoughts now so hope that this was interesting for you all and please feel free to yoink any ideas that snag your interest <3
