you don’t have to be perfect

barça fem x teen!reader, lucy bronze x teen!reader

request: here

A/N: also i would just like to say, if anyone has any feedback for my writing it’s greatly appreciated cuz i’m not the best writer ik that but i want to improve.

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

It was apart of the contract I first signed with Barcelona that I continue my studies and finish school. Not ideal, but I get by with around 80% and sitting on a B for most my classes. What I didn’t factor in was the amount of stress I would have on top of the League and UWCL games when exams and assignments from 6 different classes were coming up. That’s hard on a 17 year old.

I felt myself start to drift away from everyone in the 2 weeks before mayhem. First it was denying to go out with the younger girls like Salma and Vicky, both of whom understood. Vicky being the same age as me and Salma only 2 years older than us. Then as expectations rose, classes became longer and filled extra information. All the time I wasn't on the pitch, I was studying. Or sleeping. (we dont talk about how even thats being cut down to maximum 5 hours a night).

Living with Lucy meant that she was bound to catch on to what was happening. It was inevitable. She took me under her wing when I first arrived along with some of the older girls and since I don’t speak Spanish natively, I was told to go with Lucy who was told to keep an eye on me. It’s nice, when you don’t want her to worry about how you’re ignoring everyone and have bags under your eyes whenever she sees you. She really does try her hardest to get me to do anything that’s not over analysing and over-studying the numerous topics, but no matter how much it pains me. I always turn her down.

After another night of studying until 2am, there’s an early morning training session and I know I’ve only gotten 4 hours of sleep. If I told the medical staff I’m sure they’d pale.

I’m aware that I probably look like death walking, but it doesn’t bother me. If I pass with above average grades, I’m happy and I know my actual parents will be too. I ignore the concerned looks that Irene and Alexia give Lucy, and get changed ready for the training session.

It’s gruelling, the lack of sleep from the past 2 weeks has finally started to catch up. When I least needed it to. Maybe I am working too hard. It’s too late for that though. I know I’m being watched by the captains, acting for a little bit longer won’t do much harm. Can it?

When the third water break rolls around, I sit on the floor and flop onto my back, closing my eyes. Too tired in the moment to do anything other than breathe. The sunshine above me dulls as Lucy and Alexia stare down at me. When I open my eyes. My captain has a raised brow, while my roommate has her arms crossed.

“Y/N, get up please. Now.” It’s Lucy who speaks first. I don’t give in. What’s their problem?

“No. I am fine where I am thank you very much.” I bite back. Lucy looks like she’s trying to hold herself together and Alexia looks furious. Unconsciously, I sink into myself hoping the ground could swallow me up.

“Nena, we won’t ask again.” The spaniard says, her voice low as she sticks out her hand.

I reluctantly take it, pulling myself up and staring at the two in front of me.

“Come.” Alexia says blankly, leaving no room for argument before walking toward the main building. I sigh, doing as she says or I know I won’t hear the end of it. Lucy trails just behind me, her jaw set and making sure I don’t run away.

When inside I’m placed on a couch, wishing and praying to any extra-terrestrial being that I can leave this confrontation. What is it even about? Why am I here? I’ve done nothing wrong.

“So, we noticed you’ve been pushing people out. You also look dead.” Classic Alexia, straight to the point.

“I have no idea what you’re talking about.” I look away.

“Really? Because when I go to bed, which is around midnight and sometimes 1 if I’m doing other work. Your light is always on. You better fess up now before we make you do extra laps, and clear all the equipment from training.” It’s Lucy this time, starring daggers into me. Still, I don’t let up.

“Maybe I left the light on.” I shrug. “And why do we have to do this right now? I have 2 exams tomorrow. So, if I may. Let’s finish training so I can get to study and do other things.”

“This is exactly what I’m talking about Y/N. You’re deflecting absolutely everything we say. You’re not taking the information in. I get you’re stressed but that doesn’t mean you isolate yourself.” She pauses, sighing deeply. “We are going home right now. You will not touch your school work, this has gone on for long enough. I know Alexia agrees with me.”

“Before you argue, just think. Is this really the best way I could’ve prepared? Yes nail in, do the study for good results. But also remember to utilise the support system you have, the team, the coaches, take a break.” By the end of the rant I feel tears well in my eyes. I feel someone hug me and I can tell who it is by the obscurely large hands.

“Nena, go home with Lucy. Get some rest, and not only will you feel better but it gives your brain a break. When the week is over we can talk more but for now go.” The Catalan smiles warmly. I nod my head saying thanks before walking with Lucy to the car.

“Do you feel alright? You do look very pale.” She places her hands against my face and frowns. “No temperature. I’ll get some food into you and we’ll have a rest day. Just us.” I nod slowly staring out of the window as my mind races.

When we get to the apartment, no conversation is made and I immediately go and take a shower. It’s there that I cry and let all my frustrations out, the stress finally taking its toll on my mind.

When I’m dressed and ready I walk out to the smell of pancakes and Lucy sitting on the couch with Narla next to her. She hears me and turns her head around, eyebrows furrowing at the state I’m in.

She pats the open spot next to her which isn’t taken by the Westie and hands me a plate, which I accept gratefully.

It’s a comfortable silence, but I know she’s waiting for me to say anything. And this time, I do.

“I’m sorry Luce.” My voice is quiet and more high pitched compared to what it normally sounds like.

She smiles lightly.

“Hey, these things happen. You’re smart, just as Alexia said give your mind a rest and you’ll do better. Myself, Keira, the rest of the team only want the best for you and your well-being. Let’s not talk about this now, take it step by step. You’ll be ok.” I nod wiping freshly formed tears as she pulls me into a big hug, giving the rest of her pancake to Narla who eats it happily.

- - - - -

And ok it would be. I end up playing Fifa with Lucy the rest of the day before eventually falling asleep against her. As for the exams, I pass by with good grades and after everything’s done the team takes me out to a restaurant to celebrate. As much as I deny it, this team is the most important thing to me. I love and adore them all so much.

hot tub sex wit ony ? drabble ?? oneshot ?? this longer than i thought it wld be i just cant stop talkin... its 11 am bruh

its soooo obvious that im more into a soft sex kinda vibe, always or rough sex written in the most gentle and soft way possible 🙈

so i cant help but constantly imagine hot tub sex wit ony. in my head at the start of the relationship he constantly gravitates towards our apartment. in his mind he felt it was safer for his partners always, not wanting you to feel yk at danger in a man's house despite how safe he made you feel BUT ofc you have a jacuzzi.

in this universe, like in my head, i imagine both ony and reader have jobs in the medical feild likkee maybe ony is a surgeon and reader is a private psychiatrist who sometimes picks up shifts at the hospital onyankopon works at ???

ANYWHO becuzz of this they sometimes work hard ass shifts, whether theyre long or short, its hard as fuckk and they come home tired. ony gets home first, maybe an hour earlier and he has a key card to your apartment so he can let himself in, feeds your pets and relaxes on the couch, thinking of if he should make you two dinner or order sumn.

then he thinks of the jacuzzi, a nice relaxing hot soak after a hard shift is all he needs so he stops petting your cat or roughhousing with the dog and orders sushi, grabbing a drink of his choice whether it be wine, a light alcohol or sum shit for yall to sip when the sushi comes.

i think you get home not long after the sushi is delivered. maybe 10 minutes later and its still fresh and warm OUU shit i need sum sushi rn 😭 and ony fine ass is in some black swim shorts with the sushi all out on a platter wit the sauces on it, and hes got his feet in the water while he jus sits on the side of the jacuzzi and calls out to let yk where he is

you take a quick rinse off before donning a bikini, a black one to match his b4 putting up your braids and joining him on the edge wit a kiss. i like to think ony loooves kissing. he loves stimulatin his mouth n his lips. its a long, soft kiss and u cant help but lean into each other its like ugghh at last i can relax and let my gaurd down and just be vulnerable after being in this big position at work yk? 🤭

so you share several long kissing before both getting waist deep into the hot tub, letting the bubbling heated fun engulf you both as you down pieces of sushi, feeding each other while staying connected at the hip. i think he cant help but put his hands on u, always letting it rest on ur hip. sometimes i tink he jus likes to be touching you at all times its like a safety thing, sometimes jus resting his hand on your shoulder, ankle, tummy, dont matterrr he wants to kno ur there.

its only a matter of time before talking about each others day becomes nothing more than a whisper of a conversation. and ur eyes cant leave each others lips... necks, chests... and then ur kissin again :) hehee and kissin all over each other so tenderly and meek.

just then hes slipping his hands under ur peachy squishy ass n lifting u to the edge of the tub, kickin ur feet in the air and he sees ur toes are done. pretty pink polish with a baby pink french tip, and baby pink flower designs dancing across a few toes ... hes not one to have a raging foot fetish but it entices him,,, sooo he puts ur toes in his mouth and it tickles a bit ! but feeling his hot tongue caress ur little toes carelessly makes u feel all warm, especially ur cheeks.

eeeeek and then he jus cant help but continue to lick , suck n kiss all about your ankle, i imagine ur gold/silver lil anklet has his name awn it cuz he doesnt want u to tattoo his name :<< , but his lips smooth there way up to your inner thighs and hes pullin ur panties to the side so his thick lips can sink into ur thick lips as he slowly jus... makes out wit ur cunt idk if i can even call it 'eating out' anymore, hes in luv with ur pussy. obsessed wit the way u smell down there actually. fuck a roses and flowers smell bitch he is stealin yo panties after a LONG day at work tf 😭 he jus like me fr ok ok.

i jus luv a soft sex moment, his tongue mixes wit u sooo well and ur whines are of no use to him cuz he's havin fun and everythings jus so... slow and relaxed. ur grindin up into his face slow too cuz what else can u do but relax and just let your man do his thing. hes laying his upper body into you, drinkin ur squirt when u cum and mushin his face all in ur cream when u do orgasm, its long and drawn out and so. good.

then he pulls u back in the water wit him, slippin his dick in u fluidly, connecting u both and honestly yall sit there for a good minute. just basking in each others immaculate warmth. the fuck is dragging , sloww and aching but neither of u care to move faster. ur holdin the edge of the tub and hes holdin ur legs up to your shoulders , usin each other as leverage to fuck into the other slow and deep. low moans r harmonizing wit each other and its just... perfect :(

all thruought the fuck n i cannawwt stress this enuf he is kissin on u , he cant help it. he revels in kissin all over ur face and lips even if ur too far gone to kiss him back , kissin on ur neck and ur tits that are all squished together cuz of the position annnnd kissin on ur thighs and ur legss as theyre so far up he can reach em wit his mouth. he presses kisses on ur head too . u deserve it :(( ohh u deserve it so bad and its moments like these that i luv always.

even when u guys cum , ur lips are locked and ur swallowing each others moans, and breathin hot in each others mouths when ur done.

why is this so long notice how i cant shut tf up ab soft sex ???? bye yall !

Drunken Love

Drunk!Laura Lee x reader

AN: eeeeee! I love Laura Lee and this is her first fic so I’ll see how it goes. I got another request for her so I’m so excited to start that after my other requests. Thank you so much I had fun writing this one. She might be a little ooc but that’s kinda the point I guess you act different when you’re drunk. Laura lees text is in yellow, Lottie’s is in purple and vans is in orange. Also I didn’t grammar or spell check this because I was tired and it takes so long so if there is a mistake I’m sorry but don’t tell me ☹️.

word count rounded : 1.1k

Laura Lee has always been the literal definition of innocence. She would drag you to church with her to watch her sing. Everytime she slept over she would pray, kneeled next to your bed. You found it a little silly but if it makes her happy you don’t mind at all. 

She is so sweet. Always caring and being nice to others. You don’t even think you have seen her swear before. If you could get a dollar for everytime she said  “Oh my goodness” you would be rich. 

You both go to parties together all the time. Laura Lee, like the actual angel she is, never drinks or does drugs. Except for tonight that is.

You both showed up to Lottie’s house party. Laura Lee is dressed in a pretty floral patterned dress. One of many she owns. Lottie and Laura Lee are pretty close to being best friends. Lottie always invites her even if Laura Lee doesn’t like to drink.

You walk in and Lottie rushes over, happy to see you too.

“Hey. What’s up guys? Can I get you anything.” Lottie says hugging Laura Lee and then you. You get something simple not wanting to over do it tonight. Laura Lee is going to drive you home so you're all set. 

Lottie hands you your drink and you and Laura Lee make your way through the party settling down next to Van and Tai on the couch. 

“Hey guys!” You say sitting down next to them. The 3 of you engage in some small talk. Lottie walks back over and asks Laura Lee to be her beer pong partner but they will give her juice if they get it in her cup. 

She hesitates for a second but decides that she wants to have fun tonight so she agrees and Lottie drags her off. You continue joking around with Van and Tai for about an hour  and you're so caught up in the conversation you don’t even drink your drink. So it goes warm and you decide you don’t want to get drunk tonight, so you toss it.

“Hey is Laura Lee uh drunk?” Van says unsure as she looks over your shoulder. You furrow your brows in confusion. Drunk? That sounds nothing like your girlfriend. You turn to look where Van is pointing and spot your girlfriend giggling and hanging off a concerned but amused looking Lottie. Laura Lee notices you and her eyes light up. She smiles and walks over quicker plopping into your lap. You laugh a little very amused a lot confused on how she got so drunk.

“Hey baby I love you sooooooo much.” She slurs a bit her voice dragging out as she giggles. She leans down wrapping her arms around your neck and peppering a bunch of kisses on your face.

“I love you too baby. Lottie? What did you do to her.” You say looking up at her.

“Ok dont be mad but half way through beer pong we ran out of juice for Laura Lee and she accidently downed a full cup of beer but then didn't spit it out . I guess Laura Lee cant hold her alcohol.” She says shrugging clearly also very drunk as well.

Lottie walks away to go see Jackie and Shauna as you turn your attention back to your overly drunk girlfriend. “Babbyyyyyyyyyy Your face is so beautiful.” She says with such love in her eyes. Her pupils are dilated and shes so giggly.

“Thank you Lee, Your face is beautiful too cutie.” You say laughing at your girlfriends state. She finds that really amusing grabbing your cheeks and squeezing pressing kisses to your nose. Suddenly she narrows her eyes at you.

“I cant do this. Ok. I have a girlfriend and I love them a lot.” She says sounding dead serious . You burst into giggles. “Lee I am your girlfriend.” “Ohhhhhh right!” She smiles widely as she attacks you with kisses again. You laugh giving her a little kiss back.

As the night goes on she gets more and more sleepy. By the end of the party she is in your lap curled up with her face tucked into the crook of your neck. She is murmuring incoherent words to you as you nod along to her.

Its time to go home . You haven't thought about how you were going to get her home yet. You stand up also helping her with some support. She slings her arm over your shoulder abd leans into you. She is less talkative and more giggly. 

You walk her over to your car placing her in the passenger seat and getting in the drivers seat to bring her back to your own house. You help your girlfriend stumble over to your house giggling a bit as she struggles.

You finally get her into your room and sit her down on your bed. She is still very drunk and staring up at you with glazed over eyes. “Hiiiiiiii. Guess what?” She says as you roll your eyes playfully but your not annoyed with her

“What?” You say sitting next to her on your bed.

“I love you.” She says just as happy as the first time and the millionth time this night.

“I love you to Lee.” You say smiling sweetly as you give her a kiss on the nose. “Come on baby lets go to bed and ill take care of you in the morning.” You say cuddling next to her as you wrap both of you in your bed.

Laura Lee cuddles into your arms still mumbling on and on until she eventually falls asleep. You wake up in the morning the sunlight streaming through your blinds. You look down and Laura Lee is still sleeping on your chest. You smile stroking her hair and giving her a little kiss on her forehead.

She slowly wakes up blinking awake and instantly squeezing her eyes shut and groaning turning her face so its tucked away from the light.

“Owwww, why is it so bright.” She whines pulling the blanket over both of your heads as you giggle. “ Your hungover Lee.” You say pulling her close and giving her a little kiss.

“I feel so gross. Why do people even drink this stuff.” She says dramatically as you giggle a little. 

“Don’t worry I’ll take care of you my big baby.” You tease pulling her into another kiss.

Jeff x Male reader

Tw: alcohol

You sat nervously at the table, with the food you had made ahead of time slowly getting cold, you were supposed to have a date set up tonight by your friend toby with someone he thought you might like but it was nearing 10 pm. You checked your phone anxiously before putting it back face down on the table. You dont know why you thought anyone would be interested in a date with you, you knew toby was trying to be nice and help you out but you should have said no. Tears started welling in your eyes a bit as you stood up with the plate of food in hand, getting ready to throw it away before you heard the front door open and then close shortly after, causing you to freeze. You knew you were an idiot but you didnt know you were dumb enough to leave your front door unlocked, you slowly put the plate down on the counter before peeking from the wall, coming face to face with a jet black haired man causing you to jump. “Hey its okay! Its just me, im jeff. Toby sent me here for a date, guy says that i dont get out enough apart from,,,the usual shit so here i am” his smile faltered as he noticed your saddened gaze “shit im sorry, i didnt mean to come so late, i had shit to do tho yknow? But im here now so thats good enough right? His gaze turned over to look at the plate of food you had made, eyes sparkling “well fuck me you even made me some food, how cute” you barely noticed what he had said before he snatched the plate and headed towards the livingroom to sit on your couch, you sighed, you didnt know if you liked this guys attitude, that and he didnt really seem that interested in you, just the food.

You walked over to him and sat next to him, he pulled a bottle of vodka out of his pocket and took a swig before offering it to you, you hesitated, not really being huge on drinking. “Go on princess, take a few sips” you huffed and snatched the bottle from his hand “dont call me that” you snapped before downing half the bottle, soon realizing your mistake as you got tipsy fast. He snorted and laughed at you, downing the rest of the vodka before gently lifting you up and placing you on his lap, chuckling as your body slumped onto him. “I hate you” you muttered to him, causing him to gently pull on your hair, causing you to whine. “You took too d-damn long to get here i thought y-you wouldnt show up” he huffed and pressed him against you “i told you i was busy with shit, im here tho i wasnt gonna ditch ya” he gripped your ass and grinded himself a bit against you, causing you to moan making him do it again but rougher. He lifted your head up and smashed his lips into yours, shoving his tongue into your mouth, gripping your ass again and hastily yanking down your shorts. You whined and put your fingers through his pantloop holes gently pulling as he moved you so you were slightly above him, giving him room to yank his pants down before he grabbed your hips and slammed you down, entering you and fully bottoming out and ramming hard into your prostate, causing your cock to twitch violently and drool to drip from your mouth. He started bouncing you on his cock harshly causing moans to rip from your throat which was like music to his ears, he growled and wraps his arms around you hugging you tightly to him as he deadeyes your prostate, hitting it over and over wanting to hear so many more noises from you. Your thighs twitched as you gripped onto him like your life depended on it, cumming onto his chest and hips as he continued pounding into you, only stopping to spray your insides white while biting hard into your shoulder, leaving a bright mark for all to see who owns you

(Im so tired im sorry its not good 😭)

akito shinonome fluff alphabet !! akito x reader

ok umm ermm i dont like the heizou smau and unfortunately my genshin rephase has ended so ill probably not touch it at all ermm i dont think anyone cares so its ok >_<!! the divder is so fat guys pls someone send me a like smaller one i can save on my PHONE bc my pc is still broken help

not enough akito stuff under the akito tag so here i am

contents = mentions of heavier bleeding in the “injuries” part, no other warnings

i tried not to specify reader too much guys woohoo not proofread idk the wordcount

A = Admiration (what do they absolutely adore about you?)

i feel like akito would like seeing you when you’re passionate about a hobby or dream, especially since he does the same. However if you don’t have any, maybe just your excitement for anything materialistic that you might like.

if you’re also someone who enjoys music and singing like he does, he’d probably admire that over everything.

great minds think alike!

B = Body (what is their favorite part of your body?)

ok i actually have no idea help..

i would guess either your hands, your waist or lips

lips in a more romantic way, hes a touch starved guy so something as intimate as a kiss 100% has him giggling

you know that totally hot thing some guys do when they walk past you?? like the doorway doesnt have that much space and he just slightly moves you by your waist its so akskj i feel like hed do that n likes seeing your reactions out of it

i like waists too so i dont see why anyone WOULDNT like them.. i mean during hugging, back hugs, tickling etc i just think theyre nice and i feel like he would too

hands bc it’s satisfying to see you do literally anything.. holding the microphone, writing, the feeling when u play with his hair or draw circles on his back when you cuddle (idc hes SO small spoon coded) he just likes the feeling of it

C = Cuddling (how do they like to cuddle?)

if you’re like me and hug anyone and everyone he would be SICKK of you and enjoy it

he’d be embarrassed, totally

hes not a fan of pda, since whenever he sees a lovey dovey couple in public he gets irked by it but when hes the lovey dovey couple in public hes embarrassed

i mean as long as you’re not all hot and steamy in public i think hugs should be allowed!!

indoors hes a cuddlebag 100%

he likes being little spoon, or just laying on you as long as it doesnt crush you

but if you’re tired, or just want him to hold you he’d never refuse either, hes like.. 60/40?

D = Dates (what does their ideal date with you look like?)

if you go out anywhere, its a store that includes sweet shit cuz this guys sweet tooth is insane

if you have one too, its either he’s glad you share tastes OR you’re fighting over the last piece of cake

he’d really like indoor dates too, like where you just cuddle and watch movies

im sure hed like themeparks too, even tho im not sure if he enjoys wild rides like that i think hed just love the fun atmosphere

E = Emotions (how do they express emotion around you?)

i think hes the type of guy who doesn’t like feeling vulnerable, but when he does let it out and you react in a more caring way than he expected, he’d loosen up a little.

hes such a cutie too, if something is on his mind he’d tell you in a blunt but monotone way, like in a way where it wouldn’t hurt you? it may still hurt you but he tries..

im not sure if he’d cry around you, in the first couple months of getting used to being in an established relationship, maybe he’d keep it a little more private (hes scared that you’ll think hes a wimp)

but once he gets used to you, and is sure you wont point and ridicule him for showing any type of emotion, you’re gonna be his safespace and anytime hes mad at someone its a gossip session

i want to bite him so badhes such a cufie

F = Family (do they want one? If they do, when?)

ok so im not entirely sure if he wants kids, he would 100% marry you definitely but will look out if you want to pursue your dreams (if you have any) like he does, and if you do he doesn’t want your kids to be neglected, neither for you to tire yourself out by doing both of those things

and if hes aware of the terrifying package that comes with pregnancy, both during and after i think he’d let you fully decide on wether you’re having kids

i still think that he’d love the idea of two kids, one boy one girl since he grew up with a sister. he thinks that despite the little fights he has with ena, he loves her and knows that they look out for eachother

he wouldnt mind having less either (for your health probably) or having two girls or two boys, the idea of having a little version of him and you running around is enough

G = Gifts (how do they feel about gift giving? What are their habits when it comes to this?)

in the beginning of the relationship, he observes

hes outspoken but i dont think (i doubt) that hes ever been in a relationship and is probably a newbie at it, so he just speculates on what you like, what your hobbies are, how you feel about things etc so he doesn’t hurt you and knows what to order/buy for you when you go out

its very heartwarming, he likes seeing your reactions when you recieve the very thing you’ve been eyeing but never had the time to get from him all like “how did you know?!” and by this you’re just boosting his ego

whenever you reach a goal, or pass a test he would (very discreetly) give you a kiss on the cheek or forehead if he doesn’t have anything on him, a peck or a snack for a small milestone!

but if its something insane like, getting into your dream school, debuting, or anything important hed take you out as like a little celebration

H = Holding Hands (when/how do they like to hold hands?)

he loves it, and he doesnt

he loves doing it when you’re alone or when no one can notice, like under the table, in your pockets (more obvious but he doesnt realize) holding his pinky, etc

if someone points it out hes pulling away so fast LMAO

if you keep his hand in place and not let him pull away hes just gonna sit there with a red face saying “oh yeah…” and completely ignore any of the comments

in private, hes holding your hand all the time

like if you’re the small spoon for once, and end up falling asleep hed hold your hand and fall asleep on his own

hand holding is something that one of you has to initiate in some .. discreet way.. hes too embarrassed lol but if you show no sign of making the move he’ll force himself eventually (he wants to hold your hand too bad)

I = Injury (how would they act if you got hurt?)

if its something minor like a paper cut, hes gonna call you clumsy and dumb .. though if its like a super deep one and youre genuinely in pain hes sweating buckets

“seriously, how do you even get a papercut..”

if you like.. break a bone, or get a BAD injury hes on the verge of tears

like, hes so worried its kinda funny. hed be checking up on you 24/7 and get you little snacks

his schedule is tight but will stretch it out just so he can know you’re okay, but if its like an injury where you somehow got a deep cut and youre bleeding like crazy (while hes there) he suddenly has all medical knowledge

to sum it up, hed be worried regardless and tend to whatever injury you have

J = Jokes (do they like to joke around with or prank you? how?)

i don’t see him as much of a prankster, but he would probably tease you alot. like, if you’re in gym class and absolutely cannot do it anymore hes gonna tease you for it and call you a slowpoke

i don’t think hed go too far, he’d just make little harmless comments to rile you up for fun

L = Love (how do they show you they love you?)

hes touch starved and i doubt that his love language is physical affection, tho he does like holding you his primary love language would be quality time and acts of service

i can see him being all of them tbh, like words of affirmation, quality time, acts of service and gift giving is just so him, the physical touch too.. hes just everything i love him

if you’re upset, he’d make you some food, scoop you up and reassure you and just hear you out (if the setting is right lol) hes just such a cutie

M = Memory (favorite memory together?)

i think ill have to be vague with this one because this is more like akito x reader where i dont wanna specify anything about reader and akito.. like the imagination is up to u

but if anything, if you’re like past the marriage line, his favorite memory would be the day you got married and your honeymoon, i mean.. its marriage what do you excpect

if you’re also someone with a singing career like him, he’d love all the times you two practiced eachothers lines and choreographies. he just loves the idea of sharing a similar dream to someone as close as you

he loves all the minor memories too, whenever you two cuddle, whenever you reassure him, whenever hes reminded that you see him as your safespace etc

he just likes the entire memory of you

N = Nightmare (what is their worst fear?)

ill specify this as a nightmare inside the relationship circle, since i think this is what would apply in this alphabet

hes scared of hurting you in a way where you’ll see him in a bad light forever and would never want to even be on his radar

he hates the idea of being a source to your problems, it makes him sorta insecure that if he just didn’t exist, you’d probably be happier

in general, hes scared of being the reason of loosing you and just hurting you to such a degree

O = Oddity (what is one quirk they have?)

his specified addiction to cheesecake and pancakes lol.. or that he can’t own up to his feelings and just denies any confrontation about them

he likes playing with your hair, and theres just something about anything that you own that makes it super fun to use

like if hes taking a shower at your place and just looks at the shampoos you have, he’s totally using them

like not in a weird way, its just the thought that “whats so special about it?? let me just..”

like he just thinks anything yours is sacred (he has multiple hairties of yours and keeps them on his wrist)

P = Pet Names (what do they like to call you?)

im sorry i cant see this guy using petnames.. like maybe “dumbass” or just anything teasing but its just generally your name.. unless you ask him to use a nickname or just something people call you hed do it

i just dont see him using darling, cutie or princess.. its corny imo

you guys to yourselves, if you see him saying that thats u.. its just such an ick for me

i can KINDA see him using babe, since its kinda common (i dont see him using baby) and slightly sweetheart maybe idk

Q = Quality Time (how do they like to spend time with you?)

he loves it, he lives for it, it might be a little difficult to spend time together since his schedule is all messy but during school time or keeping him company while hes training is something he likes

he might be pent up and a little angry during some training sessions, and MIGHT say something mean without paying attention

if you get angry at him for it, he would just not notice and brush it off (during the moment) but would realize what he did and apologize when hes calmed down

this is a more personal hc but if you continue to ignore him and do NOT wanna speak to him bc umm why are you taking your anger out on ME??? he would have to corner you and beg for you to stop ignoring him

R = Rhythm (what song reminds you of them?)

if you write songs and sing etc, obviously your songs since they have your voice in them

he mightttt make a song abt u, or just make a spotify playlist with songs that remind him of you

S = Secrets (how open are they with you?)

he’d be pretty open after awhile of being with you but miscommunication would be quite a problem regardless, especially in the beginning

he’d be a little shy of telling you too much, so when hes comfortable he would tell you most of the things he has on his mind

basically he just needs time to open up

T = Time (how long did it take you to get together?)

id be SCARED of this guy so on a personal perspective it would take me AWHILEEE to even talk to him.. + id confess over text cuz im not going thru the embarrassment

if you’re friends and you somehow find out from a few interrogations that he has smth for you, confessing wouldnt be a problem

i feel like he would also maybe confess.. im not sure, it would take him awhile tho cuz.. tsundere

anyway, i think like if you’ve been friends for awhile PROBABLYY like a year.. unless you’re bold!! if you just met like as 1st years and liked him in 2nd it purely depends on how good your relationship is

U = Upset (how do they act when you’re upset?)

this totally depends on the type of upset person you are, so if youre more like “angry do not talk to me i hate you get away” type of upset, but still want him to relentlessly chase after you for forgiveness (am i toxic..oops) he’d probably have to figure out that you’re this way, like hed think just an apology would cut it but would realize hes VERY wrong

i dont see him being the chasing after you type, but his soft spot for you would force him to since he misses you too much

if youre a more reasonably upset person, he would apologize and take you out maybe.. as i mentioned he doesnt like being a source of you being sad or angry, so hes gonna try his best

V = Vaunt (what are they proud of? Do they like to show you off?)

he’s not the showing off type, but if youre like for an example exceptionally pretty or talented at something, he’d babble and babble on about it

like how nice your hair is, how clear your skin is, how you’re practically glowing next to him, how good your grades are, how good you are at a type of sport, how organized you are.. literally anything that his little observation duty got out of you

vbs and the sekailoids are sick of him, and he gets embarrassed when confronted about how much he talks about you (he notices how much he talks about you but just cant stop)

W = Warrior (how do they feel about you fighting? Would they fight for you, beside you, etc?)

he doesn’t want you to fight for anything, like in a perspective where youre battling against something alone. he wants to be there for you and with you

he wants you to know that he’ll be there for you regardless of how different your dreams are, he wants to support you!!

in conclusion, he would fight beside you if its about your dreams, and would fight for you if its something like bullying

X = X-Ray (how well are they able to read you?)

he can’t read you fully, but he knows more than you’d think he does

ive said it like thrice LOL but this man is observant!!! he knows what you like and what you dont, your preferences and can already guess what you would choose in a store or public setting

in conclusion!!!! he can’t fully read how you feel, but he hes definitely better at it than the majority of people

Y = Yes (how would they propose to you?)

if you want it super fancy, he’d try his best to make it in a more luxurious way so it fits your taste

before proposing, it would take him a few months to fully study how you would like it, if you want it expensive or just more thoughtful

based on the person he is and the type of person he would like, he’d do it purely all with love, yes.. no 3 million diamond ring with 1000 roses on a yacht

he would also like someone who isnt too high class, so a ring is a ring, he’d do it on a place where its super pretty (example like a mountain with a breath taking view) or the beach at night!! he wants to propose in private because he doesn’t dig public exposure of something so intimate

Z = Zen (what makes them feel calm?)

whenever you two cuddle and theres some music in the backround.

he loves your presence and anytime you’re cuddling while he sleeps, hes just so comfortable and calm

he likes off-school mornings where you two had a sleepover too!! he just wakes up happy

whenever you two watch a movie under a kotatsu with some snacks!!

A/N

this is very long!! but its also the whole fluff alphabet lol.. i dont this think is ooc tbh maybe the “begging for forgiveness” part but its probably more accurate than not

plz no steal inspo is ok with creds @finanah2024

Nidaime-sama (Tobirama Senju x Fem! Anbu Reader)

Chapter IV: Time off

It’s 2 a.m, you both worked hard. And you managed to convince him to stay here and keep working after your shift. Because you knew he will be late and you wanted to help him.

He sighs, sitting on the office couch and resting his head on the backseat.

“I appreciate your help, but it’s enough for today. Go home, Y/n.”

“But you will stay here and keep working, am I wrong?”

“…”

“You are a workaholic…”

“…” He frowns, stays quiet for a moment. Then speaks with his tired deep voice. “…maybe I am.”

You get surprised. “So you finally admit it?”

“Maybe I should take some time off… but then there will be more work accumulated.”

“You can rest today, and i will work in the office so that things don't pile up?”

“Okay.”

“Okay.” You said smiling softly.

~ 2 p.m:

You walk through the forest of the village, you know where to find your hokage. You know he must be noticed you already, with that sensitive nose and ears, as well as the sensor chakra.

“Hokage-sama!” You call him, he looks at you. Then Hiruzen, Koharu and Homura appears among the trees.

“Oh my! You guys have grown so much since I've seen you!” You go over them, pet their heads.

Homura speaks. “We are not twelve anymore, Y/n-san!!” He and the others looks embarrassed, you can’t help but laugh. Then you see Kagami near Tobirama.

“Oh, hello you too, Kagami!”

“It’s nice to see you again, Y/n-san.”

You look at them. “Can you guys leave us alone for a moment?”

They look each other.

“Is something wrong?”

Except Kagami, the little ones say together in panic. “I-it’s N-NOTHING!” They leave immediately, leaving you and Tobirama confused. Then he speaks.

“What did you want to talk? Something went wrong while i was gone?”

“Not at all. It’s just… some Sunagakure shinobi came to the village today morning. They said that Kazekage apologized for the confusion at the last meeting, they brought some herbal resources from Sunagakure as an apology gift. I sent what they brought in for analysis for anything suspicious. They're fine, I think the Kazekage old man really wanted to apologize. I came here to tell you that…”

“I know, i was aware of this but i forgot to tell you. Anyway, looks like you did well without me. Good job.” He bends over you and gives a kiss on your forehead, then he walked away. You are shocked and blushed. What did he just do? You follow him, he stood in the middle of an empty field.

“Were you training your team?”

“We were training together, actually. I wanted to see how much they've improved. My team will be chūnin rank soon. And Kagami does a great job with his sharingan, he may soon become a jōnin.”

“That’s good news… you must be very proud huh?”

“Yes i am.”

“Of course you are.” You chuckle. “You will keep training?”

“Yeah.”

“But this is your day off, I hardly convinced you! And you're training instead of resting?!”

“I haven't trained properly for a long time. And I can't spend the whole day sitting at home.” He starts doing pushups. With single hand.

“Hm… then let’s see if the old man has slipped?” You sit on his back, but he keeps doing pushups with single hand like you are a feather.

“Hm.. the old man is still as well as before?” You hear him grumble because of being called old man.

“I am joking around, you are not old at all. Don’t worry, hahaha…” You chuckle softly.

(pic is not mine)

~ Meanwhile:

“What do you mean, Koharu?” Kagami said.

Koharu sighed, still trying to explain them. “Dont you think Sensei and Y/n-san getting closer to each other recently? Maybe they even have a relationship in secret?”

Homura speaks. “What makes you say that?”

Hiruzen interrupted. “Actually, i agree with that. They seem more comfortable with each other… and Sensei trusts her that he even lets her work alone in his office, among the secret and important documents…”

“She is his assistant after all, it doesn’t make them lovers or something!” Homura said.

“By any chance, could you be jealous of Y/n-san?” Koharu said.

“W-w-what?! No!”

“We all know you are fond of her.”

“Sh-shut up!”

Kagami speaks. “I realized something too…”

They look at him.

“Y/n-san has an effect on Sensei, even convincing him to take a day off. And sometimes, the way he looks at her… makes me think the possibility of if Sensei has feelings for her.” Kagami said.

Hiruzen says. “But sometimes Sensei gets mad at her so much, in unnecessary way… i was in his office once, Y/n-san was just back from a mission. It was before she got out of the Anbu… While she was giving the mission report, he found out she was sick in someway. Sensei got mad when he found out she didn’t tell him that she was sick, and let him give an assignment of a high rank solo mission. He trained us even when we were sick, he said we should be prepared for anything as a ninja. But isn’t it weird, he is getting mad at her just because going in a mission sick? Though she was an Anbu.”

Koharu speaks while smiling. “I knew it… he really has feelings for her!”

[mists-reading-nook]

Heyo, hope you dont mind me sending in a letter too -- your so good at making responses xD

SAGAU! Pre-reader isekai

A letter appears in front of Venti's usual seat at angels share, neatly folded. On the back, in neat handwriting, are three simple words. "Read when alone."

Dearest Barbatos,

Hello Barbatos! I am Adin, or I guess you would know me as 'creator'. Hi there! I'd like to apologize actually -- your literally always on my team of weirdos ever since you arrived, I know it must be tiring running around the time. I just can't help it -- I'm a total, ah, whats the word you would use? Hm, well, you know Donna? The girl who often talks about Diluc in near the flower shop in Mondstadt? I'm like that, with you, but less worship-y, I guess.

I can't be with you at this current moment, very unfortunate I know. But, just know, if you see a traveller for that drink he promised on the last day of the festival, just know that I'm there, watching. Not in a creepy way, just using the traveller since, [a bunch of scratched out text], well you know celestia. They're a bit hard to bypass, I'll say.

Thank you for reading beloved,

Adin

[Secured with tape, behind the letter, is a perfectly preserved green rose]

Venti takes up the letter,not really knowing what to expect. He pales at the use of his archon name,and brings the letter closer to his face. His eyes brighten at the mention of the creator,and he giggles as he takes the rose gingerly between his finger. He gets his hands on some paper before writing a letter of his own.

****

"Dearest Divine One,

You don't seem weird to me at all! I do not mind doing errands if you are the one who wants me too! I'm well aware of Donna,and i'm quite flattered that you think of me in such a way. Is that truly what you think of me,or are you just being kind? I would hope it's the former.

I am well aware of how Celestia can be,although I do wish I could meet with you face to face. I'm quite happy to know that you are watching over me,it's nice to know that you care for me. To think me,a simple bard,is deserving of a message from the divine light themselves! I am quite honored. The rose you gifted me is beautiful. I've never seen one in this color before. Did you create it just for me? I'm quite flattered.

I shall sing of your grace to all that will hear,as you have made me feel quite loved on this glorious day. I cannot wait to finally meet you face to face,my divine Adin creator.

-Your Beloved,

Barbados"

****

He bit his lip as he wrote out your name,before crossing it out. Would that be considered blasphemous? Would it be heretical to call the divine creator themselves by thier name? Would he be struck down for even thinking it? He couldn't help but think of it though. Adin...what a beautiful name... he sighed,placing down his pen and sealing the letter. How he wished he was speaking to you,instead of writing this letter with no way to send it. He bit his lip,before writing your name on the paper and standing up to leave. As he turned his back to leave,he saw the letter vanish in the corner of his eye. He smiled,before twirling the rose between his fingers and leaving Angel's Share.

[OFF-SCREEN POST] //CHECK TAGS!

Late night in Castelia City, moon shining high in the sky above the dark factory that Zee was ready to walk into. Into...whatever Team Suit had planned.

This was the address huh? It looked pretty abandoned, arc how many tropes was this fulfilling now?

"You're the new Joker right?"

SHIT-

Zee quickly jerked as someone with a mask with 2 diamonds on it spoke behind her. It took everything in it's being to not hit them, and that was hard already.

"I'll take you to the Queens and Kings now." The stranger stepped forward and opened up the door for them as Zee followed inside.

Mostly empty except for the amount of people, a wide amount of space with a table at the very center of it all. A few people already sat down, with one chair open.

"That for me?"

"Yes, take a seat."

So there's eight people....king of spades....king of clubs...hearts...diamonds...and their queens...

Zee analyzed the table as she walked forward, noticing the grunts with card masks surrounding the table....this wasn't going to be fun at all if things went the worse.

Certainly armed too, bunch of pokeballs...

Taking a seat by the one with a giant red heart on her mask, it waited for the group to speak.

"Nice of you to join us, Miss Suzie-"

"Scoundrel."

"Sorry, Scoundrel, but you know what we want to do right?"

"Burn down society am I wrong?"

The building went silent for a minute before the Red Queen spoke again. "Yes. And-"

"What do I gotta do with that?"

".....We have some idea of who you are Scoundrel, more than the other people who only value you because of your mother. You want change. We want change."

"What does. My mother. Have to do with it?"

"You didn't like your mother, we studied hard on you, you know? Someone tried to attack her, plus you running away. We got her out of the way for you, so you can take over-"

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA-"

All of the building was filled with Zee's laughter as the Kings and Queens stared in confusion.

"What's so-"

"You speak so much about how you know me, but you think I couldn't tell y'all wanted to use. Me. Like. A. Puppet? Have me get my mom's money then fund your speedrun to prison, huh? Have I got any of that wrong?"

They got up from the table, done with the people that only wanted to use them. Arc it's sickening those idiots.

"Wait-"

A hand reached out to grab it, but Zee caught it with hers and laced hers and their fingers together as it jerked the other person closer.

Face to face with the Red Queen.

"Dont. Ever. Think. I'm that easy to fuck with."

Acid poured out of their hand, covering the Red Queen's hand, as she shrieked and screamed from the pain. Zee only held on tighter as the Red Queen tried to pull away, laughing up into the sky for no one else other than them.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING-"

Zee's other hand shot toward approaching grunts, pointing a canister of stored acid and shot pressurized acid toward them, causing them to fall and scream with pain.

"Anyone else?"

The Red Queen couldn't even stand anymore, just weak and tired from screaming, her voice was starting to go out as she fell to her knees.

Zee gets down on the floor in front of them, still holding the Red Queen's hand, rotted down to the bone.

What was left of the flesh hanging off and falling to the ground.

"Now, we learned our lesson alright?"

With dazed eyes, the Red Queen looked up at her and nodded, and as Scoundrel finally let go, she fell onto the ground. Zee standing over their body.

With a gleeful smile, they waved and turned on their heel, walking back out of the factory.

Drama pt. 2

If you haven't done so yet, click here to read part 1

Warnings: Violence & Cursing

Summary: You and Jack are dating but your relationship isn't public and someone from his past starts drama between the two of you.

Oh wow.

After the night you had calmed yourself down and tried not to ruin Jack’s album release party this girl took it upon herself to post pictures of shit Jack bought her and let everybody know that they messed with each other? 

This had really pissed you off because she was disrespecting your relationship to the max. It's also the fact that she POSTED him. People didn't even know that you existed let alone the fact that you two were dating. Her posting this made it look like he was out here fucking and sucking and you were not okay with this. 

Your phone ringing had taken you out of your thinking but when you looked at your phone it was off indicating no one was trying to call you. It was Jack's phone and he was still sleeping noticing it wasn't going to stop ringing he turned to you. “Who is that?” you roll your eyes ``Why don't you answer and find out? Its your fucking phone.” Confused by your sudden attitude, he sat up and answered his phone. 

“What's up?...... You're not being serious….. What the hell?….. Why did you even think it was okay inviting her last night… I don’t really give a fuck if it was her friends fault you sould have made sure she wasnt going to come and do not werid shit now look what im going through… Yeah whatever man”  Listening to the conversation it sounded like he was just caught up on what Katie posted. 

He turned to you and sighed “I don't really know what to say but just know in going to fix all of this'' You wanted to applaud  him for his words you really did but you were so tired of being nice to these girls that thought they could just come up to you and threaten your relationship with Jack just because it wasn't public. She had taken it too far and now you are going to take it a step further. 

“Don't even worry about it. I'm not trippin.” Jack raised his eyebrows ``Your not?” “No this is what comes with the industry right?” He shook his head in shame “No its not and I dont want this to become a regular thing” you scoot closer to him and grab his face in your hands. “Baby dont worry about it im okay lets just let this blow over okay?” He nodded his head along with you and gave him a peck to his lips. 

“Now I know your going to be busy today so worry about that and i’ll make sure to have iur show on by the time you get home” He nodded agreeing with you again and gave you a kiss “Okay Princess i’ll try to make it quick.” 

You shook you head “Take all of the time you need.” After the little talk you guys had Jack had gotten up and left because he had a couple interviews he had to get ready for. You had gotten dressed and put on some pink shorts with a matching cropped tang top with some white shoes. You had out your knottless braides in a pony tail and had made your way to your friends house. 

When you get there you saw that she had simuklar attire on as she made her way to your car. Annie put her seatbelt on and turned to you “You ready to kick some ass” you laugh as you start driving to your destination “You already know I am!” 

Finally you guys had made it walking out of the car you guys walk into the house some party was being held in (you didnt care whos ouse this was you came here for one thing) and as soon as you walked in you spotted Ms. Katie and wasted no time walking up to her. 

You had no words to say to her as you grabbed her hair and started throwing punches to her face. People had started recording and and trying to get close but Annie made sure no one got to close and she also made sure no one jumped in. Katie was weak she as trying to fight back she had no upper hand and you were on a mission. You get down to the ground as you throw a few kicks to her face before you decided you were done with her. 

“NEXXT TIME YOU DECIDE YOU WANT TO CLAIM MY MAN MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE HANDS TO BACK IT UP BITCH!!” You said with a petty laugh and walked out with your friend. It felt good to finally take up for yourself because you had a lot of pent up anger from this happening time and time again you hoped that this would be a lesson to the girls that kept trying you. 

You didnt get home until late. Annie and you had went out to eat and then after you guys had been talking about what had been going on in yalls lives. Opening the door you had expected to see it empty but you were completely wrong. 

Jack was sitting on the couch and he looked PISSED. He turned to you with a glare in his eye. “You must get off to embrassing me huh?” 

You were done for.

Let me know how this is. Please send in request!

Incubus Rinne x M!Reader!!

A/N:what's up with people liking an incubus💀 REQUESTS ARE OPEN!!

NSFW 18+ Also females please dont interact.

TW:The R-word is here, drugs, making out, public sex, cum and etc.

Your Demon☆

You are still at a convience store, working. You are just closing at 3 AM. You were pretty exhausted after working for so long. You were almost about to close, but suddenly a man with long and unruly red hair with blue eyes suddenly walks in the store. 'Damn it.. I was so close to going back home... I wonder what this customer wants. He looks pretty cool.' You thought to yourself. "Okay sir, what do you want?" You asked him. "Well... I came here for something more. The name's Rinne Amagi by the way..." Rinne said as he locks the door. 'What is he doing now? Why is he locking the door?' You thought. "You can't escape me now." Rinne said as he pinned you to the wall. What is he doing? Rinne proceeds to kiss you forcefully. You moan silently as his tongue enters your mouth. "W-What're you doing? W-What do you n-need?". You asked him. "Well you see... I am an incubus. I only visited you here just for fucking, not buying food." The incubus said. You got confused on what he said. He proceeds to slowly take your clothes off, revealing a nice toned body. You secretly pulled out your phone from the pocket. You started to record everything and then placed your phone on the table. Rinne was too busy kissing you that he didnt notice him being recorded. Rinne breaks the kiss then goes on to your neck just to nibble and lick it. "Your neck is the most valuabe and vulnerable spot~ This is why the neck is my favourite spot~" Rinne noticed that you didn't like it, so he fed you some date rape drugs. You felt so light-headed that you fell down to the store floor. Rinne saw this as an advantage to use your body. "Perfect... I got you so drunk now. You won't be able to fight back." Rinne said. He proceeds to shove his cock inside your ass, working his way down. You cannot even see clearly. Your mind is nothing but only wanting this incubus to fuck your brains so hard. Your body going up and down at the store floor. Loud moans escape your mouth as Rinne whispered a lot of dirty slurs in your ear while thrusting so fast. "Ah~ Ngh~ Look at you~ Handling my cock so well~ You wouldn't mind if i came all over your body while waiting for your boss to see you all messed up~" Rinne said. He slammed his hips against yours. If you two were in a bed, Rinne would already break the bed due to his strength. He really wanted to see your pleading cries. Rinne bit the nape of your neck, making it bleed a little. He licked the blood on your nape. He already came a lot on the floor a lot. The floor looks very dirty from all that cum. It would be too tiring to clean up after the drug's effects wore off. "R-Rinne p-please.. I c-can't handle my self~!" You really came on Rinne a lot. "Heh.. You came a lot on me.. I don't mind having my self in a lewd appearance! You already look lewd yourself! Kyahaha!" Rinne laughed. Your pleading cries and whimpers makes Rinne more turned on. Even if the drug did affect you, you still won't mind him inside of you. Rinne is so turned on he had to stop what he was doing just for you to touch and hold his cock. Rinne moaned as you stroked his cock with your bare hands. He really had to come in your hands. After stroking his cock, you cleaned the mess on your hands with your tongue. "You really wanted this, didn't you?" Rinne asked. "O-Of c-course! Y-You are t-the only o-one i w-want." You answered. Rinne stroked your cock making you pant and gasp. Rinne licked your neck while still fondling your balls. The effects of the drug wore off, but nothing changed. You still wanted him to fuck you more. You remembered the recording you took and decided to use that material as a recording to listen while you're masturbating. The sun is slowly rising, so you two stopped on what you're doing. "Well.. I gotta go! See ya soon..." Rinne said as he quickly unlocked the door and left. You placed your clothes back on and grabbed your phone to stop the recording. You cleaned up all the evidence so no one can know.

You'll see him again soon...

[garden-ing-gnostic]

oops... angered a fellow tumblrina and now... I killed the entire rq community? OMG YALL JADE HARLEY HAS COME AND WILL EXTERMINATE ALL RADQUEERS AUGHHH!!! DONT CALL JADE HARLEY AT 3:AM (I DIED) (I AM THE ENTIRE RQ COMMUNITY) (MY BLOOD IS ON JADE HARLEY'S HANDS) Ok wait shit no I cant joke abt being dramatic because i am, very, dramatic, and i literally just into. (mini-diskhorse) over it, and i lvoveee dramatic talking styles, but. irrelevant.

Ok but. Lets be serious you guys... yall REALLY THINK that we aren't already seen as pro abuse..? Hello? Since when..? Did I miss something like did we all get a notification saying "RQS ARE SEEN AS ACCEPTABEL NOT ABUSIVE NOT BIGOTED AND EVIL BY THE MAINSTREAM QUEER COMMUNITY!!!" Anyone wanna fill ur gurl in?

Yall have gotten so used to being around other rqs you seem to forget that antis exist and when someone starts looking deeper, or just asks someone at all what it is, antis will come and say that rqs are pro abuse regardless of what blankqueers are popular? Like COME ON yall get real??? Even regular normie queers are seen as pro abuse no matter what?? Did you all forget about the "trans people are groomers" thing that we're dealing with RIGHT NOW and no amount of proof could deter terfs and transphobes? And yall think we can somehow prove ourselves (you guys think we should prove ourselves?) Be serious!!!

I get nobody wants to constantly hurt themselves and be stressed and tired looking at queerphobia and antis and shit but PLEASE just keep up a little bit for goodness sake. You all wanna be radical so bad but when push comes to shove yall deep throat that boot like it's ur kink.

If you can't go 5 seconds without going on about "WHAT IF NORMIES DON'T LIKE IT-" then don't talk about it. Matter of fact! Don't talk about ANY minority, because if you are trying to make sure you look good you're dangerous. Then maybe *you* are the one with the community's blood on your hands, willing to get dispose of the ones who will be offputting to normies.

You all are ass deep in respectability politics, running in circles and convincing yourselves you are getting somewhere. Please just give up on looking good. We do not earn freedom or rights by looking it's(we never "earned" it at all!) We won it through bricks, though being unacceptable and forcing the normies to deal with it, and bend to us, not the other way around.

Ok im done ranting lolllll...so um. Is the rq community like a hydra thing with one body many heads or something. Like if I cut one will 2 grow back also? And what color is the blood is it rainbow?

Ok i'll stop joking abt the blood hands thing or something. Don't ask me how I found out abt it i have my waysss...

woah i cooked my writing is mystic for REAL!! its honestly so rizzy of me... anyone wnt a girl who. who does this whenever shes on a roll and sleepy 🥺🥺🥺 im so nice and stuff ...

(+ For future reference anti post probably means not just anti radqueer but anti para anti transid yadda yadda which is what i meant. But thats on me for not clarifying originally lollll)

Dan x reader

(Introductory chapter, thats all)

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

the sun was bright, the sky clear and the breeze was cool, all this to say that i was having the worst day of my life atm. my dad was being the biggest dick head in the entire world and because he cant handle any kind of emotion or female at that he kicks me out in the blink of an eye, im sorry but im not a maid. i had to pack in a day, be out and hunting the next, and just yesterday was i approved to move into my new apartment, my own space that i can dominate to do what i want, i should be happy to be on my own at my big age of 21 but for some reason i feel bad for leaving an old man alone, but then again im not dealing with his yelling and commanding for any longer. at this moment i am moving in, i have to carry each, and every, LARGE BOX, up stairs and into my apartment MYSELF. i make my way back down to the moving van and so happen to see someone standing by it with two other people i don't know, i got a little anxious because i wanted to be a bit more on the down low but damn, three people at once. as i got closer i was able to register the people, a tall built blonde, an average sized purple haired woman and a short dark haired man. they seem friendly from afar but as i got closer and into their bubble the small mans energy makes me a little more on guard, i didn't say a word as i got closer because all i heard was the smaller man ranting about how no one was allowed to move in because its only ever an inconvenience to him and how all people are stupid and problems only come from new people. i just stood behind him and listened, by the time the other two noticed me but he was facing away from me, they looked at him and pointed in my direction. He was mid sentence when he glanced my way "OH, AND I SUPPOSE YOUR THE-" he abruptly looked me over and clasped his hands behind him and straightened his back "ooooh, you must be my new neighbor! im dan and this is my best friend Chris........and his wife Elise" he gestured to the other two people who were waving at me "hello, and welcome to the neighborhood i hope you're not moving all of this in yourself" Elise said, i smiled and introduced myself "its nice to meet you, im (y/n)". dans eyes haven't moved from my form at all but i act like i don't notice how weird he is to not hurt his feelings or embarrass him " uuuh, yeah. im kinda on my own but ill be ok" i smiled tiredly. Elise and Chris immediately volunteer to help me carry boxes into my house but i deny it to be nice, though i really do need help "dont worry (y/n) its not a problems at all we wouldn't want you to tire yourself out on your first day in your new apartment" Chris said. i smiled and looked at all of them " thank you so much, you guys are some of the kindest people I've met so far" i purposely didn't make eye contact with dan when saying that, and it caused him to to quip in " i can help, im nice too!" feeling bad i looked at him and smiled " of course id appreciate it, and maybe i can make us all dinner when we are finished" the blonde man with a box already in his arms snapped his head in my direction "yes please" and i giggled at that, hes funny and his wife is really sweet, i might want to consider a friendship, but dan is.... i don't know right now but we'll see.

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

After placing a few things that need to be put in place, i sat chris elise and dan in the living room and allow them to pick what to watch and even play games, but dan was consistent on getting in the kitchen to stare up at me and ask questions every 5 minutes like a toddler. I give up and sigh "look dan if your going to ask so many questions then you might as well put on that apron and help" it was silent, but seconds later dan has a stepping stool pulled up next to me and is wearing a frilly pink apron, i giggled at how willing he is to help me all of a sudden, hes been quieter ever since hes first saw me, almost like hes thinking constantly but about what, its not like hes not enjoying my company, i show him what to cut and how to cut it and he listens, him helping is making the process quicker. We both go to grab the last tomato and our hands touch, his on top of mine, even though i did jump a little he didn't move away at first, as if he liked the contact, when he did pull his hand away he was furrowing his brows and blushing "I-I FORGOT I HAVE TO GO FEED MR MUMBLES" and ran through the door and im assuming to his apartment. 'hm....whats all this about now' I shrug it off and scramble to finish the pasta i was making and go to sit with chris and elise with our plates "hey wheres dan" i shrugged my shoulders and sat his food in front of him and elise and sit with my own "something about feeding mr mumbles, i suppose its a cat or dog but ill head over and give him his food later im hungry right now" and with that we all ate, and after we ate we talked and even played games, and when it was time for them to leave it was late, i walked them to their car and hugged them both "thank you guys for all the help, i couldnt have asked for a better first experience and i hope we can become good friends" i say and smile "well with that meal you just cooked us consider us buddies!!!" Chris said out of his window "yea well be sure to keep in touch and maybe we can help you seek out stuff for your apartment too!" Elise had quipped, and after all of our goodbyes they drove off. After i watch them drive off i make my way up stairs and back to my apartment, as im passing each window i stopped by dans because i heard what sounded like ranting but it wasnt like earlier, where he was angry and sporadic but more low and gentle, sounded like he was kinda disappointed or sad. An idea pops into my head, maybe hes just alone and doesnt like when he feels left out, so i headed to my apartment and got two slices of cake and his dinner and went to dans, i will share this cake with him and hopefully become best neighbors and even friends, maybe then he wont be so awkward, i knocked on his door and smiled for hospitality, but for some reason it took a short while for dan to answer. i go to knock again when the door is swung open and dan is standing there looking a little down, not sad but not too enthused either "hey dan....i noticed you missed dinner so....i thought id bring it over for you, also i was hoping we could share dessert and you know...talk, get to know each other?" For a split second fear was shown on his face and while his eyes darted around his apartment he wasn't looking too sure"i-i would be honored to enjoy dessert with you, its just- my apartment is a mess" and he held his door wide open in shame. i peer in with no visible reaction but holy hell was it cluttered, usually people with depression or deteriorating mental state cant clean or notice when its too dirty, they just dont process it the same. I frown dont at dan with sympathy "dan im not one to judge but have you ever consider asking for help, i mean im sure no one wants to see you like this" his eyebrows furrow and he clenches his fist "NO BECAUSE IM NOT WEAK I CAN HANDLE THINGS ON MY OWN" aah there it is "what if i offer to come over and help ill even make us lunch" i say sweetly, purposefully sounding cute, he groans and blushes, then fidgets with his hands "ok but......dont mock me or use this against me, ill ruin your life" he said the last part as a threat, i smiled

good gpd im so frustrated with stuff in terras rn. idont care anymore if they know who i am im jyst. so so frustrayed. its so hard to get stuff u want without spending money and im really lucky i have 3 terras. but oh god its so frustrating seeing people ask for. what even was it. asking for 14 myos. for 1 terra. it makes me so unvelievably angry!!

not tomention the way terra staff picked all the people who werent that active in chats. but just because they knew eachother well and were friends. it makes me lose hope for ever being a syaff and helping make this cs a little better :(

also how terra gas are always peopel with super detailled "pop" styles. like yeah youre picking smaller artists but.. yhey all have very similar styles and. its discouraging to someone with a chibi style who just really likes designing terras. it makes me wanna leave so bad.

and i. i cannot handle some of the members sometimes. some members will talk about how they dony have much money, like someone said they didnt have money for something. then immediately after bought a terra??? i mean i get that it can be addicting n stuff but. its so so frustrating oh god.

especially when people like. are talking about stuff and someone mentions something cpmpletely off topic. i could understanf if!!! maybe !! they asked nicely for a topic change and left it at tht but. ive seen people spam their own topics in the middle of another convo.

also i dont even wanna mention the trading scene. its insane. man i. ive been condidering leaving for sonlong mostly from members and specific staff. but. aughhhgg i love terras so much i just. wish i could make it better. i genuinely cry over it bc . i love terras so so much but its all going to shit . :C

im mostly just frustrated with dtaff constantly taking customs because if the staff customs channel and their new godly role. it sucks. it makes people feel like their artvisnt worth it, seeinh bids surpass thr hundreds while some camnot sell a fullbody for $5 just bc bias.

if staff see this, im sorry. i wish i didnt have yo go on a vent blog to say this. but i know saying it in the server would just get me silenced. please try to help with these issues seen here. and im genuinely so sorry, i really want to help, but this is the only way i can help now: giving criticism. i hope things change and i can enjoy terras again. i also hope staff are okay, i do not eant this to be mean or stressing in any way. :C [sorry for the typos mod i am very shaky rn and in a bus and carsick so im trying to fix them as mucj as i can. and ty for dealing witg all the drama.]

im sorry youre having such a bad time anon, it can be difficult once you realize all the deep cracks within the foundation of something you like

youre right in saying the trading scene is absolutely insane rn, people have decided that myos arent as powerful of a trading chip anymore but theyre still just as difficult to get, what the FUCK would someone even need 14 myos for

the staff has always been cliquey, if youre not in their little friend group you might as well be dirt, and theyre so biased toward pop artists, thats why kiwi rot was allowed to make a feral terra custom even while the hammer was coming down hard on them.

members are so rude and im tired of people pretending theyre not. at some point you gotta wonder how many times someone will breach social contract again and again regardless of every single time theyre politely told to wait their turn, just say you want to butt in and be done with it. ive never seen so many people absolutely unable to actually pay attention to the conversation at hand and it really seems like they just want to hear themselves talk

staff as a role is just a pretty little modifier to say “im elite, now drop $100s on my customs so you can immediately trade it off and say ‘looking for staff swaps ONLY if you offer me anything else u r getting blocked xoxox’”, none of them actually really use the new role to bring new viewpoints to the species or to make systems move faster, if they were then youd think we would actually have implemented more site functionality than one single fucking forage button and people wouldnt have to wait upwards of 2 weeks to get a myo design approved

terras biggest downfall is that every single person in the server is too sensitive for criticism and take it way too personally, that way everything gets silenced and nothing gets better.

personally anon, i suggest distancing yourself a bit. when i started moving away from the species and focusing on irl self improvement, i felt so much better (and started saving a lot of money)

ohhhh i just realized why i have no desire to sleep even though i in fact am getting tired🤪 my cousin was in psychosis for two weeks on coke off meds and two days ago he took a turn and directed all of his pain and anger at me n was talking shit about me saying vile things (mostly about being lesbian) till 4 am two days ago and till 6am last night. walking in the living room where i was juggling a knife and scraping it on our roomates doors, throwing n stabbing oranges around the house till he got 5250’d in the morning. i hope hes having an alright time in there he really needs help and hopefully rehab and hopefully he finally wants the change that he might not know he needs and actually does want. ya had to vent it out guys thx for reading my run on sentence, im actually tryna lead into a better, personal topic and this plays a part on it so i started there. i uh started recovery in AA 3 days ago and im so fucking happy to finally want to take my life back fully into my own hands and have the drive and ambition that i got easily with alcohol (fucking cop out). ik how this sounds to some people, i went to AA and NA for fun when i was in a grouphome at 17 bc it was another way for us to get off the campus and hangout with the other houses (they called them cottages🏡🕯️🎍☺️). so im very comfortable in that environment, it wasn’t an entirely new concept or energy to me, its been about ten years, but this is my first time coming with a severe desire to change and take back my life into my own hands. ya i had drank in highschool (fuckinn middle school too) but i dont think i ever had to drink and drink and drink till i passout and not be able to stop until im blacked out. that didnt happen till i was 23 in such a chaotic livlihood i couldnt stand any part of my reality, work, home, abusive relationship, i couldnt breathe but i could drink. to the point i was delivering weed from the dispensary drunk. it happened again over the summer for all of the same reasons but this time i had come back to my cousins house to get on my feet and ultimately ended up helping everyone else and their businesses and livlihood more than my own and i was drained out, favor not returned gang. i thought i was gonna stop drinking at the end of summer and i did a few times, a week, two a month but the binges were bad and i was in a lot of dangerous situations recently. everytime i thought i was ready, someone would give me a reason to catch a nice break from the chaos circus life, n who would say no to what sounds like bliss? the last time i drank i didnt even want to, i didnt even wanna go out shit, friend called me crying for help, by the end of the night i needed a relief drink joined got physically hurt (7 minor injuries but some are mid😭), stranded they took off w my phone and wallet in my bag, no sweater at 4am upset in a parking lot not tryna take three hour walk home. a ride from a nice lady w a sketchy guy judging me. how the fuck did it happen again, how easy couldve i prevented this. i had already reached out to a well versed friend that i need to get sober, she said she’d be around in a couple days n we would go. i told her again the next day i needed it even more now and we went that night, which she was wanting to bc she liked that specific meeting. well gang that specific meeting is always gonna be the story to the start of my meeting. i immediately got picked to lead and read through out the meeting on a little stage in front of everyone with the key speaker. as i expected haha, never heard of a lottery meeting like that. i made a home that night, i kept eveyones lottery ticket from the raffle that i picked (and the three left over), i hadnt felt so much support in years, and all at once and a whole room full of people.

i know im only three days in but ive been waiting my whole life to be here.

“I am fine, like i told you i would be, you don't have to worry so much”

I let out a relieved sigh.

“Sometimes I can't help it, but are you sure you are okay?”

“I am sure, you keep asking the same over and over, my answers not gonna change though”

That was a relief, instead of asking anything again I just hummed in agreement before softly pressing one hand to where I could feel the slender form of the Elf.

Fable responded to that by shifting closer to my hand,  relaxing even more.

He really was okay with this, as strange as it was.

Well he had been the one to suggest it but it was still weird that anyone, aside from Robin maybe, wanted to do this.

Still, it was very late now and we should be sleeping right now,  but i wasn't keen on staying outside for that.

The shed should still fit even as a Giant instead of Ardua,  might have to duck a little though.

“Fable? I'm gonna move i don't want to sit outside all night,  not keen on getting stabbed by a drunken Guard or something”

“Alright, don't hit your head on anything”

I snorted a laugh, Fable was actually a pretty funny guy.

Well the brainwashing or whatever from our father had kinda worn off now and I had to admit I liked the actual Fable a lot more than the puppet like being he had become under the threat of punishment.

Slowly standing up I kept a hand over my pouch and slowly slunk back to the shed.

I could have offered to let Fable out of course, but I was tired,  He was tired and for once he seemed actually relaxed.

I didn't want to disturb him even if he wasn't asleep yet.

Nobody noticed the thirty foot or something Giant slink back to the shed and crawl inside, well the war was over and it was late,  I doubted anyone focused on the Garden right now.

Inside I pulled the insane amount of soft blankets closer to me and slowly laid down to use as a pillow.

If Fable wanted out all he had to do was ask,  but i was too tired to offer, besides he said he was fine with it.

He slid a little as I got positioned but didn't seem to disturbed by it.

It was nice that I finally got to know the real Fable a little,  though how was he doing?

He was used to being a some soulless puppet for who knew how long, and i knew that would fuck me up severely.

“Fable? How are you?”

“Didn't you already ask that?”

Technically I did, but now I meant something else.

Language was sometimes really fucking stupid.

“I well yeah but i mean, you were so puppet like before,  and now you're not, i just want to know you're doing okay now that your brain is yours again”

There was silence for almost a minute and I nearly assumed he just went to sleep.

“Donovan, my Sire always told me I needed to be flawless to make up for being a freak, I'm glad you didn't have to go through that honestly.

I spent my whole life trying to appease a man that hated me and tried to be the Heroic knight he wanted.

But he never saw anything more than a freak of nature and tried his best to ‘erase’ all those flaws because he thought it would show him in a negative light.

I'm glad he died, and I'm glad I came to seek you out. 

Meeting you and your friends was what made me realize I could be my own person again.

Who I am now doesn’t need to be a flawless hero because I’m comfortable with the idea that valuable people are also flawed”

While Fable only hinted at what he had to endure,  I knew it must have been horrible. 

“Fable that old fuck was stupid, Albinos are not Freaks,  he was an idiot for thinking that! 

I've known you not for long but I know you are a good person!

And there's nobody in the world that's flawless, everybody has flaws!

Just look at what absolutely deranged people live in this castle alone!”

I yawned before hearing an answer from Fable.

“You are right, i've just been so stuck in my own head i never really saw that before, but now i finally do, thank you for that”

I smiled, Fable had been right, this made both of us feel better.

I really wanted to hug him but that wasn't really possible right now.

Or was it?

I put both hands over my pouch and pressed them in a little.

Fable probably got a little squished but did not complain at all.

( Art made by @philicheesecake )

I held him like this for a moment, realizing how completely surreal it was to surround someone from all sides all at once, being able to clench around them and feel them inside of your own body..

I was snapped out of my thoughts by a strange sensation,  What was Fable doing?

It felt like he was sliding his hands over the walls of the pouch and I had to fight not to make any noises.

“Fable? What are you doing?”

He stopped for a moment.

“Last time i found some strange scars here,  i wanted to see if i actually felt them or if that was just my brain”

Scars? Why would there be- ah.

“Oh wait I know what you mean,  two scars right next to each other right?”

“Yes, one bigger than the other”

“Well those are from Rikaad, he didn't know either but he was freezing to death and there was nothing else to keep him warm.

I just didn't expect the guy to have a hidden dagger,  he freaked out and stabbed me”

Fable removed his hands from the walls of my pouch.

“That must have hurt, do the scars still cause pain?”

With how he said it I was not sure if he meant Hurt in a physical sense because I got stabbed or hurt in the psychical sense at Rikaad not trusting me.

Either way the answer was yes.

“I don't even notice the scars, don't worry,  but i am tired so maybe we should sleep already”

I yawned and had to keep my eyes open to hear Fable's response.

“You are right, it is late, goodnight Donovan”

“ ‘night Fable”

Pulling some escaped blankets close again i fell into a well deserved sleep after all the ups and downs this day had,  Fable a warm weight that reminded me that i didn't fuck up completely.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fable just looked as his normally smaller halfbrother grew to about thirty feet something in height,  still he didn't move and kept sitting there as relaxed as he could.

He said he'd prove to Donovan that he was not scared and that's what he'd do now.

Besides, it had never been Donovan he was scared of, the only thing that scared him was his own past, but that was finally over.

“I was not aware you could be taller than me like this,  though i'm sure the Bracelet counts as cheating”

Donovan laughed a little at his stupid quip which in turn made him smile too.

“I guess so, but with all the bandages i can't exactly change shape on top of height too, not keen on bleeding all over the ground”

Fable nodded still as relaxed as ever,  really he didn't get why Donovan thought he could scare him, 

he knew now and there truly was nothing to fear.

Still they should probably move along with it or else it’d be morning again before they got anything done.

“Well, the night won't last forever, and I'd rather not have anyone walk by now, we should move this along, don't you think?”

Donovan slowly lowered his hand down towards Fable. 

“Okay, i'm going to lift you up now,  if you want to back out anytime say so and i'll stop”

Fable heaved himself up using the thumb that was about as large as he was to steady himself,  while his foot was better he was not going to stand on it.

He felt himself being lifted, a strange sensation really,  and then found himself in front of Donovan's face.

It was kinda funny, he could see every detail, the way his nose swung, the soft little fuzz that everyone had on their skin and his eyes which at this scale almost seemed more like light blue pools.

Donovan didn't move for a bit after that so Fable just stared expectantly at him, he did want to move this along after all.

Fable was brought closer to Donovand face, specifically his mouth,  and after a single moment of hesitation he opened it too.

He was gently slid inside when Donovan tilted his hand a tiny bit and could feel the warmth radiating from the abyss in front of him.

Donovan kept his mouth open for now, allowing Fable to look around a little, and he couldn't deny being at least a little curious.

He could see the ridged palate above him,  it looked strangely smooth and he wondered what texture it had.

Since Donovan wasn't doing anything right now he felt it was okay to gently brush his hands over it.

As predicted it was weirdly smooth while being bumpy.

Funny really, then he felt something at the front of his brother's mouth, right in front, or behind depending on perspective, of the fangs.

Oh, he knew what that was,  his Brother was only on his second set of fangs!

The third one being still not fully developed, how adorable,  Donovan really was still pretty young.

“You have baby fangs”

The response to that little line of Fable teasing was apparent confusion, well sure in human form Donovan's fangs were as big as his so maybe he hadn't expected to be called out on that.

The only thing that happened after that was Donovan slowly and carefully closing his mouth, didn't want him to keep poking he guessed.

So that's exactly what he was gonna do,  maybe then Donovan would move this along.

Laying limply on his back on the weirdly pliable and plush tongue he kept poking at the palate above him.

He felt things tip back towards the entrance of the throat and he could feel himself sliding a little on the slick surface.

His feet were now directly above the drop into the esophagus.

After a few more moments everything tipped even more and he slid further into the organic tube before a hesitant swallow sounded out.

It moved about half of his body into the throat before Donovan swallowed again, now taking all of him inside.

Fable still didn't panic, in fact he just found it strange,  well it was strange to be fair but still nothing to fear.

Donovan swallowed again and Fable was tugged deeper to his core.

He knew he was tall so he hoped there was no trouble,  since now he had to do it without the adrenaline from the battle.

There was another swallow and Fable could feel his legs being freed from the somewhat constricting flesh of the esophagus.

Then, in a rush he found himself back in the strange extra organ his half brother had.

It was how he remembered it, dark and warm,  slightly slick and stupidly soft.

He sat in silence for all but one second before he heard Donovan's voice.

“Fable?”

He could literally feel how nervous Donovan was,  the poor guy worried too much.

“I am fine, like i told you i would be, you don't have to worry so much”

He could hear how the lungs shifted as Donovan let out a sigh.

“Sometimes I can't help it, but are you sure you are okay?”

“I am sure, you keep asking the same over and over,  my answers not gonna change though”

A powerful hum vibrated around him then, before he felt a gentle, 

but strong pressure from one side,  rubbing against him from beyond the muscular walls of the pouch.

Soon he realized it was a hand. 

he cuddled towards it, smiling again.

Donovan stayed still for about a minute before he seemed to realize that he didn't want to sit outside all night long.

“Fable? I'm gonna move i don't want to sit outside all night,  not keen on getting stabbed by a drunken Guard or something”

Fable had a pretty good idea where he was going to go,  After all, the shed should theoretically still fit.

Though the door would be a lot smaller to him now.

“Alright, don't hit your head on anything”

He could hear Donovan laugh a little at his remark and he was glad to finally have his thoughts back in order.

Well, mostly in order.

He felt as his Brother stood up and quietly went back towards the castle.

He kept quiet the entire time so nobody would notice either of them.

Fable slid a little to what he assumed was forward,  Donovan must be leaning over then.

Probably the door then, He was proven right when he slid a little more around, this time to the back.

It was strange how a normally such simple movement could affect him like this.

Quite honestly he was tired as well, and he didn't really mind spending the night here, it was warm and soft at least.

Also he was very aware that if he did ask to be let out he'd be damp and cold, not to mention he'd have to move on his injured limb back to the infirmary.

“Fable? How are you?”

He really was asking the same question again,  It was nice to have someone care about him this much.

“Didn't you already ask that?”

He'd already told Donovan he was fine,  he didn't want to repeat himself all the time.

“I well yeah but i mean, you were so puppet like before,  and now you're not, i just want to know you're doing okay now that your brain is yours again”

Oh, that's what he meant this time, well that was a bit harder to answer.

Fable didn't even know if he had all the words to explain it.

In Auraurian maybe but Donovan didn't speak that.

Maybe he should just start to talk,  the words would come to him if he needed them, they always did.

So he took a deep breath and simply started.

“Donovan, my Sire always told me I needed to be flawless to make up for being a freak, I'm glad you didn't have to go through that honestly.

I spent my whole life trying to appease a man that hated me and tried to be the Heroic knight he wanted.

But he never saw anything more than a freak of nature and tried his best to ‘erase’ all those flaws because he thought it would show him in a negative light.

I'm glad he died, and I'm glad I came to seek you out. 

Meeting you and your friends was what made me realize I could be my own person again.

Who I am now doesn’t need to be a flawless hero because I’m comfortable with the idea that valuable people are also flawed”

He's seen it, all those wonderful people had flaws, and he finally saw that exactly those things were what made them so endearing.

And he'd seen how they help each other in spite of not being perfect.

Nobody could ever be truly perfect,  he finally understood that, so instead of trying to appease everyone he'd focus on just being a good person now.

“Fable that old fuck was stupid, Albinos are not Freaks,  he was an idiot for thinking that! 

I've known you not for long but I know you are a good person!

And there's nobody in the world that's flawless, everybody has flaws!

Just look at what absolutely deranged people live in this castle alone!”

Donovan was a good person, he was always careful of those around him and got angry if he heard how others had been mistreated.

He heard the big lungs working as Donovan yawned again.

“You are right, i've just been so tuck in my own head i never really saw that before, but now i finally do, thank you for that”

Well right now he couldn't exactly see anything with how dark it was,  but he'd meant that metaphorically anyway.

Besides he could still hear plenty well, the whooshing sound of breath, and the steady thumping of a Heart near him.

How strangely calming.

He was snapped out of that thought as he felt himself being squished a little.

He was confused for a second before he realized that it was a weird attempt at a hug.

Well like this he couldn't exactly hug back, but he gladly endured it.

Having the walls of the pouch so close to him did remind him of something though, had he really felt scars? 

Or had his brain made that up while he was scared?

He could probably find them again if he searched, so despite being a little squished he held his hands out and tried to feel for the strange dips.

“Fable? What are you doing?”

Ah, Donovan had noticed,  of course he would, all of this was him after all.

Even if it was surreal to think about.

He stopped, not knowing if it annoyed Donovan.

Maybe he should explain himself.

“Last time i found some strange scars here,  i wanted to see if i actually felt them or if that was just my brain”

It was entirely possible that in his fear his brain just added even more reasons to be afraid.

Donovan however seemed to know what he was speaking of.

“Oh wait I know what you mean,  two scars right next to each other right?”

As far as he remembered that seemed correct.

“Yes, one bigger than the other”

“Well those are from Rikaad, he didn't know either but he was freezing to death and there was nothing else to keep him warm.

I just didn't expect the guy to have a hidden dagger,  he freaked out and stabbed me”

Fable completely removed his hands from the walls around him,  which had now eased up a little.

“That must have hurt, do the scars still cause pain?”

He almost slipped and just called it just unfortunate, yeah, it was gonna be a while till he was fully free of his Sires clutches.

Weird how the action of one man could echo so far even after his Death.

He also didn't want to go touch the scar tissue if it still caused any discomfort.

“I don't even notice the scars, don't worry,  but i am tired so maybe we should sleep already”

Fable briefly wondered how old the scars were, but with how his brother mentioned cold it must have been in winter sometime.

He could hear another yawn, bigger than the last one and he realized that it must have been even later now.

Donovan was right, sleep was in order,  and tomorrow was still some time to do things.

“You are right, it is late, goodnight Donovan”

“ ‘night Fable”

He could feel his brother get comfy one last time and immediately fall asleep.

He hoped he wasn't too uncomfortable on the floor of the shed.

But he doubted that this was the first time this had happened.

Reassured by the rhythmic thumping of the big heart he also fell asleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I woke to a beam of sunlight hitting my face, I shifted to try and avoid it but when I felt a warm little weight slide around on the inside of my pouch I remembered what had happened the night before.

Ah, that's why I was Giant and laying on the floor in my shed.

Fable seemed to still be asleep so i continued laying there,  I didn't want to wake the pale Elf up.

Concentrating, I could even feel the tall man's breathing, how weird.

He was definitely still sleeping, with how limply he lay there and the soft breaths it was very clear he'd also been very tired.

But I wasn't that tired anymore now that I was awake,  so I had to debate moving and potentially waking Fable or staying put in boredom and let the Elf sleep some more.

Well, I was a Giant right now, not Ardua, 

someone might freak out so I'd better just stayed where I was.

I lay there idly for a good hour basking in the warmth that having Fable so protected from the outside world gave me.

Then I felt Fable move,  still i kept quiet in case he was just shifting in his sleep.

There was more shifting, Fable was indeed waking up.

It wasn't long before he was fully awake.

“Good morning, and before you ask im okay”

Yep, fully awake.

And called me out on wanting to ask once again if he was okay.

“Mhm morning, let me look for a towel so I can get you out.

Also i hope you are aware that the Nurse is gonna get both our asses for leaving the infirmary”

He laughed at that, the sound clear as bells which was weird as usually things were slightly muffled like this.

“I am aware don't worry, though they are probably more concerned with how i got so far away in the first place”

He did have a point in that, speaking of.

“Yeah HOW did you manage to get out there? 

I didn't see a crutch or anything near you”

I grabbed the bundle of blankets I had used as a pillow and sifted through them to see if there was a towel with them.

“I think i'm entitled to some secrets,  besides as a Fae i can do a little bit of magic”

Magic, of course, what else would it be.

“Magic eh? You must be pretty good at it if you managed to do disappear under the medics noses”

I pulled a crumpled but still dry and clean towel from the blanket pile while Fable answered.

“I am not the best there is, but considering a majority of the population can't do magic at all the bar isn't that high,  aside from that the only thing i can really do is make light”

Make light? What? Like a lantern or what did he mean?

Maybe it was more like Oakleys glowing crystal?

“Make light? How does one ‘make light’ ?”

I pulled myself into a sitting position,  feeling Fable slide a little which he seemed to just ignore.

“Well, a Light spell conjures a glowing and floating orb or bubble, whatever you want to call it, and then you have light”

So it was just summoning light? 

I wasn't about to question further as I'd just get confused, 

besides I wasn't a mage or magician or even a wizard so I didn't need to know anyway.

“Well that's practical i guess, especially if you can't make a fire”

I shifted to sit so that the single sunbeam into the room was aimed at my back.

When I let Fable out he'd have to adjust to the brightness first and I didn't want him to have the sun right in his face then.

“Well water reflects light a little differently so it's not as effective as in dry air, but it's still better than nothing, 

and it doesn't get hot like other light sources.

I can show you if you want?”

Well I wasn't opposed to seeing actual magic,  especially if it wasn't dangerous.

Oakley said he could do magic but keeps being a prick about showing it.

“Sure, it's not something I've really seen before so why not?

Might be interesting”

I shook the towel out once again for good measure but before I could tell Fable to prepare himself to get out I could feel something strange.

I blinked, it felt like a bunch of feathers were floating in my pouch with Fable, was that the light spell?

Despite not expecting to see anything I looked down to where he was.

Weirdly enough there was a soft and very muted glow,  barely visible even.

To make sure it wasn't just a stray sunbeam or that I imagined it I lifted my shirt and revealed multiple softly orangeish glowing spots where my pouch was.

I had known that my pouch was closer to ‘outside’ than most of my other organs but actually seeing it was a whole nother level of weird.

“Fable I can see that, what the fuck”

He laughed again, the bell-like sound weirdly clear despite everything.

“I wanted to get used to light a bit before you let me out,  but its weird that you can actually see that,  though i might have made them a little too bright”

Magic was weird, but at least what he said made sense.

“Whatever, dispel that before anyone else sees and then i'll get you out”

I was not keen on explaining why I was glowing from the inside.

Luckily Fable did as I asked and the weird lights vanished.

“Alright, the light is gone”

I gave an affirmative hum before tensing the muscles needed to bring him back out again.

Fable seemed to remember last time as he kept still the entire time to avoid choking me.

He was out fairly quickly like that and I set him on the ground while holding the towel out to him.

He gratefully took it even if he somehow wasn't that slimy.

Whatever, that was a good thing seeing as someone being damp wouldn't raise as many suspicions as someone drenched in slime.

While Fable wrapped the towel around himself I used the Bracelet to shrink back to my human size.

Now he was the taller one again.

Also his long hair was messy probably thanks to me not to mention the thin film of slime.

I'd better show him where the washroom was.

On the way we could also notify the infirmary that both of us are okay.

“I'm assuming you want to know where the washroom is now?”

“Yes i do, but we should probably tell the Nurses we are alright”

Oh we'd definitely do that,  we did have to go past the infirmary to get to the washroom anyway.

“Sure, it's on the way so we can't miss it,  are you alright to walk with a hole in your foot?”

He was still injured and i didnt want him to make it worse by putting weight on his foot.

He'd end up in the infirmary even longer, and that was bound to get boring as unlike Nea they wouldn't just let him go around anyway.

He looked down at the bandages.

“I'll be fine, it isn't actually that bad,  it just looks like it is but it missed everything important”

What luck! Better luck than Nea at least,   hadn't seen hers unbandaged for some time but the day it happened it looked like it had been left in a swamp to rot.

“Well if you are sure, but if you need help tell me”

He simply nodded and I led him back to the big door and back inside the castle.

It wasn't long till we found ourselves back in front of the Infirmary door.

I really hoped they weren't to cross with us for disappearing.

I looked to Fable who just stood rigid and timidly knocked on the painted wood of the door.

It was opened in less than half a minute and as the nurse saw who it was she just rolled her eyes.

“You two are idiots, you couldn't wait to get discharged? 

If you are fine enough to pull a disappearing act you are fine enough to be on your own,  now excuse me i have to tend to patients that actually stay put”

She closed the door in our faces and for a few seconds we just stood there not saying anything.

Well then, might as well continue.

“You heard the lady, looks like we don't need to go back to the infirmary, at least for now, you should still have them check your wounds”

Fable nodded and both of us turned to go down the hallway.

“I will frequently let them check,  while it didn't go through all the way i'd rather not get an infection”

That was good, I just hoped he wouldn't take an example on how Nea handled half of that.

We reached the last door of the hallway,  the one that went to the washbasins and shelves with Soap.

I opened the door so Fable didn't have to pull any weight and potentially use his injured foot.

We slipped inside and closed the door again, turning around and I was greeted by steam and the smell of a lot of different soaps.

Aside from that it looked like nobody besides us was in here.

Good, then we didn't have to deal with comments about our earshape and whatnot.

I pulled my shoes and socks off and put them on the designated shelf so they wouldn't get wet.

Turning around again I went to one of the Basins in the back of the room and climbed inside, clothes and all,  to be fair they needed to be cleaned anyway.

“Are you supposed to do that?”

Fable called over from where he stood two Basins over,  hed taken one with a stupid amount of bubbles.

His green cloth had seen cleaner days as well, not to mention it was already damp anyway.

 “you have to wash them anyway so might as well”

I just shrugged and leaned back into the warm water. 

I did wonder how they managed to keep it at this temperature though.

Thinking about it the closer to the bottom of the basin it was the warmer it got.

Double floor with fire maybe?

Eh, whatever.

Looking over Fable went into the water as well and more than half of him was hidden by bubbles.

He sunk down until only his head was above,  man he must practically be sitting down to do that.

The Basins weren't exactly deep or anything,  just enough to comfortably fit a person of average height.

I debated grabbing a soap, one of the fancy ones for hair to wash the grime and sweat out of the tangled mess.

I decided to use whatever was nearest,  which turned out to be Lavender scented, eh not bad.

As long as it got the job done I didn't really care what specific kind I used.

While i used a stupid amount of Soap on my head Fable was using his fingers to untangle his own rather long hair.

Why did he have long hair anyway? Was it an elven thing?

I decided not to ask, this was such a little thing and frankly it didn't matter.

Besides, I kinda doubted short hair would suit him.

While I was at it I took off my shirt, with some difficulty due to the bandaged areas and tossed it out of the basin.

It was still within reasonable reach though.

I relaxed back into the warm water,  letting it soothe any aches I had from the battle or otherwise.

Sleeping on the floor in Giant form was not as comfortable as the Ardua one for sure.

This was also the first time I got to actually relax for like a week or so.

And what a week this had been, first my halfbrother showed up then Maringand declared war, then we fought said war and kicked Winton, and Oakley apparently can't die?

Well he ‘resprouts’ as he had put it, but still.

Also resprout meant he was at least partially plant right?

I doubted anything about that man would ever make sense.

I looked over to Fable who had sunk down again and still detangled his hair.

With it floating in the water like that it almost looked like white silk strings.

He had also tossed his own shirt aside like I did,  albeit a bit farther away from him than mine was to me.

We sat in silence for quite some time, just relaxing.

Well Fable was mostly busy untangling his hair for half of that.

Laying back against the Basins wall i lighty dozed for some time,  letting the warm water soothe the bandaged wounds.

How strange to think that the hundred or so pinpricks had come from actual arrows.

Also the slash on my shoulder from where someone had thrown a spear, that would probably scar.

I looked over when I heard water softly splash,  but Fable was just reaching for his shirt.

Then I saw his back, it was covered in scars, lots of them.

They kinda looked like he'd been slashed this way and that.

Or Whipped.

When he said he'd been ‘trained’ I hadn't thought it to be that bad.

But before I could see more Fable had already snagged his green shirt and sunk under the colored water once again.

Ah, so that's why he chose one with lots of soaps and oils.

If he didn't want anyone to see that was very understandable,  and I wouldn't speak up about it.

If he ever wanted to tell me I'd be there to listen,  but for now I wouldn't tell him to do anything he didn't want.

We stayed for about five more minutes in the water before both of us clambered out of the basins, seeing as my fingers had gone all wrinkly that was probably for the best.

Drying off we went outside again, with me holding the door open again so Fable didn't have to strain any of his injuries.

So, what now?

We could go see Rikaad, or even Oakley even if the latter was just for me to check that I didn't hallucinate or dreamed the entire thing.

Maybe checking how Robin was doing first was a good idea,  I'd basically just left without saying a word.

Though I'm pretty sure the Nurses told him I was okay, probably.

We decided to go out to the front yard for now, Robin was still in the infirmary and we did not want to disturb the Nurses or patients again.

God knows they'd get our asses.

So we walked past the painted door and went outside.

Looking around outside I spotted a familiar form that held crutches.

And strangely enough Rowley was there too, talking to Amicia.

I stopped where i stood in confusion,  one; Rowley was just out and about even if Nea sat near him,  and two; Amicia was also there and talking to him.

Shouldn't she be with Rikaad right now?

I wondered what the two were talking about but I wasn't part of the conversation so I wouldn't listen in.

Aside from that neither of them looked to be in distress or even unhappy.

Well if Amicia was sent away Rikaad was probably busy,  so visiting Oakley it was.

I would talk to Rowley later though, since he hadn't even known how the bracelet worked it was likely he didn't know some of the other stuff as well.

Nea still had the bracelet as far as i could recall,  maybe we should get it from her, at least before something happened.

I did wonder what would happen if I wore both of them at the same time though.

What if I set both to Giant? Would I be even bigger?

And what if I set both to Ardua? 

What if I set one to Ardua and one to Giant? 

I'd better not test it though, who knows how i could screw myself over with that, or if it even worked in the first place.

Asking Oakley was a better idea and might prevent me from doing something dumb.

“Donovan? Why are we just standing here?”

Fables comment snapped me back to reality.

“I just remembered that Nea still has the other Bracelet,  i think we should bring it to Oakley for now”

He nodded and walked as gracefully as he could with an injured leg towards the rather violent Woman.

I followed suit, Nea was rough on everyone and I wasn't sure if she was okay with Fable or not.

It seemed she was pretty chill as she waved at him when she saw us, good, one less thing to worry about.

“Heya lads! Nice ta see both of ye are fine!”

She had her chipper tone back, nice,  she must have gotten good news or something.

“Hello Nea, remember the Bracelet i gave you? Where did you put it?”

She didn't look to have it on her person at the moment.

She looked surprised for a second before she put a hand down the front of her shirt and pulled the thing out.

She handed it to me and I noticed that the metal was warm,  near body temperature even.

“...thanks…”

I held it with the least amount of fingers I could while not being suspicious about that.

I really did not want to think where she hid that or why there in the first place.

“Glad to be of help! What are ya gonna do with it?”

I looked at the thing again, it looked exactly like mine,  weird how they had found identical gems, 

or maybe they are both cut off from one big one.

“I'm gonna give this to Oakley,  he'll know better what to do with it than we do”

“Ohh right, fucker is back somehow, saw him not too long ago when he handed me some weird ointment for my foot!

Said with that it'll only be one more week instead of that half month!”

Ah, no wonder she was so chipper.

“Well we best get going now,  but I do wonder if you know what Amicia and Rowley are doing?”

She looked over to where the two sat,  just out of hearing range even for mine and Fables ears.

“Eh, far as i know Amicia apologized to the kid about the shit her uncle did and offered to talk about it, dunno if they still are on that topic tho”

Oh so she was already a thousand times better as a person than Winton would ever be, that was nice to know.

And I was sure having someone to talk to who actually knew stuff about Maringand would help him, at least a little.

We’d leave them for now, Nea had an eye on them and I doubted either of them would do something dumb.

“That's nice of her, we better get going now though,

 It was nice talking to you! Also you gotta show me how you use that big ass sword when you are better!”

“It's a Claymore”

I looked to Fable who hadn't said anything till now the entire time I talked to Nea.

Nea laughed and whacked at me with her crutch,  luckily missing as I sidestepped it.

“At least one of ya knows what weapons are called!”

I just rolled my eyes at her antics and kept far away enough that she couldn't just whack me with the crutch.

“Yeah yeah, sue me for not being violent or a nerd,  i'll just be going to Oakley now”

My tone was clearly sarcastic and Nea actually laughed.

“Heh, well ya can't expected ta remember what its called after only seeing it once! 

Now shoo i still have to keep an eye on tha two kiddos over there!”

She made a motion like she wanted to shove us aside and we left to go to Oakley.

Besides, I wasn't keen on her deciding we needed to leave and using her crutches to chase us away.

We went slowly through the foliage, always mindful about our injuries, maybe I could ask Oakley for some more of that teal stuff?

No, these wounds were minor, i didn't need it i could heal on my own, but maybe Fable could have some?

He was still limping seeing as he had a bolt shot into the top of his foot, he could use it more than me.

We reached Oakley's tower a bit slower than normal but considering the fact both of us were injured that was to be expected.

Luckily Oakley seemed to be there, at least judging by the clanking sounds of glass against metal.

Smelling the air there were hints of a lot of herbs,  The main one I could identify was rosemary.

Was he cooking? 

We went to the hastily built front door, which surely was not made by an actual carpenter, and knocked on the wood.

“Oakley? Are you there?”

There was another metallic clanging sound and a few seconds after that Oakley opened the door.

He cocked his head in that birdlike manner of his as he saw both me and Fable standing in front of the door.

“What are you two doing here? 

I kinda expected you to be stuck in the castle if i'm honest”

Well technically we should be, but then again we kinda pissed off the nurses and just walked out after that.

The only one that saw us was Nea and she didn't really give a fuck so…

“Well lets just say the infirmary isn't very happy with us”

He cackled at that and the sound of his laughter reminded me still of the mocking of a crow.

“You boys sure have a way with people! 

It's just questionable if it's a good one!”

That pretty much summed up a majority of all the interactions I ever had with people in general.

“I guess so, can I ask what you are doing though? 

I smell herbs, are you cooking?”

He winked us inside at my inquiry.

“Nah not really cooking, well kind of i guess i'm actually not sure as what exactly making Jam counts”

Jam? In all honesty I had not expected him to do something as mundane as that.

“Jam? What kind?”

Fable asked the winged man who grabbed a bunch of glasses from a newly built cabinet next to the firepit.

“Rosemary! One of my favorites even if it's rather unusual”

I had not been aware you could make jam out of herbs.

“I did not you could do that,  but then again that's not what we came here for”

Oakley stopped arranging the glasses on the table for a moment and tilted his head again.

“Well what are you here for then? 

You do have to tell me stuff i'm not a mind reader after all”

I held out the bracelet Nea gave me a few minutes ago and he carefully took it.

“Ah i see, im taking a wild guess and assume you want me to either keep an eye on this one or tell you what to do with it?”

I nodded, I already had one so a second one wasn't needed but I also didn't want anybody else using it for something bad like Winton did.

Oakley turned the trinket in his talon-like fingers,  inspecting every little detail.

Was he looking for something that set that one apart from the one I had?

I recalled that that wasn't the only thing we were here for,  I had wanted to ask Oakley if he had anything to help Fable’s wounds.

As i turned to the pale elf he was not there, instead i could see him next to the window where he was petting the cat.

Awww, and he did it of his own volition this time!

Also how the fuck did he get there so fast when i wasn't looking?

I doubted I'd ever get an answer to that.

While Fable was busy I turned back to Oakley who seemingly was done inspecting the thing.

He looked me right in the face and I was once again reminded of a hawk with the way his yellow eyes reflected the light.

He held the Bracelet up.

“Say, what do you think of the boy that had this one?”

The question admittedly caught me a little off guard,  Why was he asking anyway?”

“Uh, well i don't think he's bad,  but he really looks like he doesn't want anything to do with it if i'm honest?

And i really angry at Winton for making a kid fight,  He seems shy, which is understandable but it's obvious he'd rather be anywhere else than here.

He’s young so i don't know what he’ll be like, besides i've barely spoken to him considering i headbutted him into a boulder”

Then it occurred to me that Oakley might just give the thing back.

He couldn't use it, barely anyone could, and I already had one.

Though if he was going to give the thing to Rowley there was a LOT of explaining to do.

And a medical examination as well to see if he was as freaky as me.

Then the explanation would take a lot longer and get a lot weirder as well.

“Oakley, if you give him the Bracelet back you also have to explain everything you know about it to him, okay?

Oh also maybe take a medical exam or something,  just to see if he's as much of a hybrid as me or if he's somewhat more normal in the anatomy thing”

He nodded.

“Sure, I might need you to demonstrate some things though,  like shifting itself, oh and how the plants are supposed to be like! 

From what little I've seen of these poor boy’s they were not healthy!”

He was very right in that,  the plants on his back had been incredibly wilted, and not a single one of them had contained a healthy shade of green,  there wasn't even a single blossom present which was quite the opposite of whatever overgrown fuckery was happening to me.

“Yeah I can do that, just gimme a heads up beforehand,  oh also the second thing i came here for is to ask if you still have some of that Teal stuff? Fable got shot with a crossbow bolt and is limping”

Oakley spied past me to where my brother was engaged with the Cat.

“I think i do have some, gotta find it though, tell you what,  if you can pour the jam into the glasses for me i'll look for it! Deal?

So I just had to pour stuff in a bunch of glasses? 

Yeah that was easily doable.

“Sure! Deal!”

He pointed at the pot that was currently over the fire.

“Don't forget to protect your hands,  though you'll probably have an easier time doing that than me, you have five fingers instead of three and no wings that could get in the way”

He turned to one of the piles of stuff where I couldn't even identify half of it and began to rummage through it.

I turned to the firepit and grabbed the rags on the table next to it so I could grab the handle without burning myself.

Wrapping the cloth around my hands I heaved the rather heavy pot off the fire while there were a bunch of clanking sounds coming from wherever Oakley was.

Being careful not to spill anything I brought it over to the table where he had put the glasses and after making sure they all were right side up I slowly poured the gelatinous mass inside.

I did have to admit that it smelled good,  Maybe the kitchen staff would be interested in the recipe?

We did have more herbs than we could ever use after all so this was really not a bad idea.

Not knowing where else to put the heavy iron pot, 

I put it back over the fire where it was before and unwrapped the cloth from my hands to put it back as well.
