Hungry eyes

Henry Winter x reader |

Warnings: in this part there are non but later parts are going to hit diff so mdi

Summary: Richard is the newest member of the bizarre, isolated classics course. There is seven of them in total, every personage strange and intriguing in their own way. But there is this one girl who’s sheer presence unnerves and simultaneously compels his whole being. What secrets do those sharp eyes of her hide? And what is her relation to the ever stoic Henry Winter?

Chapter 1

| In the eye of a predator |

I think I noticed it first during my second week in the Greek class. We were sitting, all seven of us, in the school library; all but Henry whining and breaking our heads over a particularly dreadful translation of Arrian. Something about Alexander, I’m sure of it.

It was then she looked at me for the first time. And it wasn’t just a throw-away glance, or a squint-eyed half-smile. No, it was the truest, fullest and most precise stare of all the stares I have ever witnessed in my life.

She tasked me with her gaze, her eyes slightly hooded, with long, thick eyelashes. From head to toe and then from toe to head. Said eyelashes fluttered, when she came to scan my face and then her eyes met mine. And I saw it, hidden deep inside of those abyssal irises, the electrifying glint that sent shivers down my spine. The moment our gazes crossed, I knew I was done for. I was vanquished in the matter of seconds, quickly submitted into the reign of that cool look, enslaved by its ferociousness, the sheer intensity of it; and I didn’t even know that I was competing. Something in that stare compelled me to give in.

It was a spark of folly, pure and hot like a furnace in the middle of December and for a second I thought it to be burning deep into my cheek.

I remember Hampden in a magnificent blur. A splash of red, gold, white and green. To me it is a mystic collage of places, objects without a name or an owner. It is an onslaught of faces, Greek letters and Latin phrases blending intangible into each other.

But there is something in particular that constantly managers to break through the heavy mist of stimuli and fogged-up memories. It burns and freezes me up every time it reappears deep in my mind and I can’t seem to get rid of it.

The shining, primal and dangerous pair of eyes. Looking from underneath furrowed brows, right through my physical shell. Etching the uneasy, thrilled feeling of the consciousness right into my bones. They haunt me up to this day. And they shine beautifully amidst the conflagration their stare fires up inside of me.

It was far too hot, for a lad as uptight and uneasy as I constantly was at that time. I remember starting to sweat profusely the minute that stare anchored into my figure. With time I learned to ignore the uncomfortable feeling, to push it down and bottle it up like the rest of things in my life.

But that first time, the initial first-degree contact with that stare had sent me into a hellish spiral of sweat and as I thought a feverish seizure.

Looking back, I was probably exaggerating, it was however extremely unnerving to feel those vibrant, lively irises bearing right into my flesh as if they could dig up my deepest, most shameful secrets.

She was, the proprietary of the eyes I mean, one of the latest additions to the class, however junior to me in age, she’s been a semester ahead of me in context of education in Hampden’s Greek and Latin course. Outside of the school walls, she was eons ahead of me.

I think there wasn’t a subject she wasn’t interested in. Like an encyclopedia, you could start any topic, most random or niche, and she would already have had formed an opinion on it and delight you with a lengthy explanation to her stance. She wasn’t like Henry, who had clearly dedicated himself solely to the classical arts, and passionately ignored anything other than that, or Bunny who in turn ignored everything that wasn’t forced into him or served to him on a silver platter.

No, she was a titan of knowledge. Hungry for more and eager to bathe you in some of the goods she had already acquired.

But she wasn’t loud in that strive for knowledge of hers. She would rather engage in one-on-one conversations, get to know her interlocutor, synchronize with him and conduct a debate that would also engage, and with luck, completely devour him as well.

Although her favorite subject were the many a conquests of Alexander the Great. Yes, it was an endless topic for her.

Once even I saw her shed a tear while comparing Alexander and Hephaestion to Achilles and Patroclus, wailing over the poetic tragedy of the Macedonians’ situation in light of Alexander’s love for the Iliad.

‘He even had his oven copy of the damn book. He slept with it under his pillow!’

I remember her voice breaking every time someone prompted her to start this particular topic. And I remember Bunny rolling his eyes every time she undertook it.

Maybe that’s why I recall that particular evening so clearly. We were translating The campaigns of Alexander after all; but instead of her usual glossy eyes and melancholic stare I was faced with that.

The malignant gaze of a demon.

Well, now I might be exaggerating a little. But it is true. There was something hot and unnerving about her. Maybe it was the stare. Or maybe it was something much more clandestine, like the sharp angles of her face, the way her eyebrows set or her mouth shaped her syllables. Maybe it was the distinct play of light and shadows on her face, or was it the bird-like tilt of her head. Or the fluid, swift movements of her body. As if she was pure water, nothing more nothing less, flowing gracefully from one place to the other. Never faltering, never tripping over or halting.

Or maybe the fact that sometimes, when she looked up at you, with that bird tilt to her head and a deep cut smile to her face, one that would reveal a dimple on the left side of her face, and a slight tightness at the corners of her eyes, she looked almost sweet. Alluring in a mischievous way, the way all things primal can be. Polarizing and pulling you in like a magnet. Like a fox, looking you straight in the eye as he bites through the arteries of a wild goose he just caught. It is a tragic, gruesome scene, but something in the cruelty of the deed makes you unable to look away. And maybe it is the blood dripping down the fiery red fur, or the last high pitched quacks of the goose, but there is something forbidden and for it enticing in the scene.

I could never realy put a finger on it. What was the true source of that mystic, almost electric aura she seemed to be oozing out of ever pore of her body.

My bet would be on the totality of those little quirks I’ve already mentioned.

There was something profoundly primeval about her. She would mask it of course, but I’ve seen it on several occasions. The animal ripping from within her. Hiding in her wolfish grin, lurking in the glint of her eyes.

It made my hair stand on my head.

She was a perfect predator. Disguised into a frail, sweet girl. With big, seductive eyes, soft lips, and the sweetest nose. Her voice deep, melodic like streams of old Greece and her laugh all rumbling summer thunder. She seemed just so… so good, so poetic, so beautiful.

It was that crude cunning that made my stomach churn. Burrowed deep under her skin just waiting to jump out of her.

If I had to pick someone, out of us seven, who most resembled a Greek god or goddess I would choose her. And not because of her skills in greek or Latin. No, Henry surpassed her as well as the rest of us in that department. It also wasn’t for her beauty. In my eyes, no one could compare to Camilla.

No, that would be for the feral fierceness that constantly boiled over in her. Her restlessness, the passion that oh so often consumed her and the emotions upholstered with velvet of indulgence I would later see her throw herself into with abandon. She looked like she belonged right in the middle of Dionysus’ cortège. At times she was senile and pleasant to the mortals that wished to mingle with the lesser gods such as the classical course class. But she also looked like the type of girl to identify herself not with the quick-feeted nymphs or graceful dreads that formed the procession, but rather the wild and menacing maenads. She made me feel as if only she’d drunk too much of vine she would gladly and eagerly rip my head off clean of my shoulders, and she would later laugh about it, as my corpus-less head would be forced to sing to her à la poor Orpheus.

And I knew I saw the shine of her teeth not because I was a good observer, or because she had grown careless and didn’t bother masking around me. No, I saw it because she wanted me to see it. Because she wanted to mess with me, mischievousness running deep in her veins, chaos being the only thing for witch she could feel real passion. Because she was sure, no one was going to believe me. The truest of predators, as I said.

And it was true. Back then, even if I told myself from a week before, he wouldn’t believe me. After all, she looked fine. She wasn’t a great beauty like Camilla, but she was rather easy on the eye. Maybe it is because of that true, cruel nature of hers that she was so kind to reveal before me, that her imagine remains rather distorted in my head; but I can tell you one thing- what she lacked in beauty, she made up in charm and charisma. Even without the glint in her eyes an indescribable aura of mystery veiled her existence. And when she started talking, and I mean talking with you and not to you, her deep, melodic voice could put you in some kind of a trans, like the ones conducted in Delphi. I think she gave people courage to speak with that voice; somehow untangled their tongues and compelled them to converse far more easily than if they would without her.

She had this weird soothing quality about her, if only she wanted to seem soothing that is.

Once I saw her enraptured in some sort of a quarry with Simon Sharon, a scrawny boy with a stutter, who at the time of the exchange did not stutter at all. On the contrary, he seemed to be standing his rhetoric ground against the onslaught of her own arguments quite gracefully.

She was like a magnet for guys. And while Camilla seemed to be almost boy-repellant, the opposite gender swarmed to her peer like flies to honey. Not only that, girls would also cling to her as if she was their guru or something.

I always thought it was weird. After all, she did nothing so special. Nothing that would attract this much attention, and as I’ve seen later in the year, she would go as far as to actively rid herself of the following.

And yet, up to the very end she remained our school’s sweetheart.

She dressed rather modestly. Mostly in long dresses, sometimes skirts and cardigans, although ocasionally we would also see her sporting a pair of pants. During those days Bunny seemed to be most cold towards her.

Either way, most of her clothes were kind of airy, ghostly even. Sometimes when she would walk through the corridors and a gust of wind gathered the ruffles of her dress she resembled more an apparition rather than a human being.

She was rather palie, and so the whole atmosphere of Hampden as well at the fraily clothing played into the elusive nature of her beauty and further thickened the cocoon of mystery around her.

Her eyes were intelligent, big and bright when she needed them to be, and narrow and nigh all-sing when she didn’t. Her face went in and out of those two states so easily, as if she didn’t even think of it. The transitions between her moods were so natural that sometimes, after some time even I couldn’t really point out when or even if the change occurred.

It was like having a shapeshifter living right next door to you, and noone conscious of that but you.

Henry, Francis, Bunny, Camilla and Charles, they all were too blind or too focused on themselves to discern this duality, although I think out of all of them, Henry came the closest to the truth.

Out of all of us, he was the one that she tolerated the most. Sometimes I would see the both of them sitting together in the library. Most of the times they would be silent. He would be translating something, and she would be scribbling away or reading. But a few times I was able to witness a heated debate between the two of them, upheld both in perfect Greek and later on in Latin as well.

I thought Henry kind of liked her, in his own way. I thought he tolerated her, and vice versa simply because of the obvious equality between them.

Only later I found out how stupid and oblivious to the true nature of this relation I was. And that the signs were all around me. And that I was just too dense to not pick up on them.

[astranne]

I say your post about spirall abyss team so I thought it be interesting to drop my team.. expecialy the team that I build(half build) without trial damage and rotation just straight to the abyss

Keaya(dps) level 90. Rosaria(subs/battery)level 80. Venti(CC) level 80. And barbara(healer). Keaya been in my team since day one(as subs) when I got the mistspliter I switch his build from physical to cryo dps. Venti just arrived from his second rerun. Both rosa and barbara was build to support keaya. I never use them they. Wont it be suprising for them? Out of no where they suddenly recive gold artifact and weapon and push to a portal

STARS IN THE ABYSS sagau!genshin

notes // hi there ^^ thank you for sending the request and dropping your team. i love seeing teams of other people, it's just super interesting!! i'm sorry for the longer wait, there numbers of requests is steadily growing and i'm not helping with my random brainrots lmao

navigation // stars in the abyss

Kaeya

Kaeya would like to never return to the abyss, like any other sane human. But it's not just the monsters, the beings he has to fight, but his own, personal history with it.

He can't act suspicously, not when his team consists of people he knows well- all from Mondstadt too.

Other than that, he likes to end his fights fast in the abyss, and together with Rosaria, the support of the drunken bard and their healer Barbara, they end it in record time. But he would still like to know why he has to fight in the abyss, clearly chosen with his new weapon and sudden stronger attacks, both physical and elemental.

Rosaria

Rosaria despises the abyss. Her free time is cut shorter, which means less time to have a good drink. At least she's in this with her drink buddies, Kaeya and Venti. And luckily, when not drunk, those two pack a mean punch.

A mean punch is what they clearly need in the abyss. Thanks to already various team-ups to defend Mondstadt, all of them work out their teamwork pretty fast. Yet, fighting in the abyss brings them even closer.

Rosaria is a composed woman, but every time she sees the familiar surroundings of the abyss, she would like to scream. Scream at the world, at Kaeya for cracking tasteless jokes and scream at whoever is responsible for this.

Venti

Venti as a god doesn't worry too much about the abyss. Sure, he knows to be cautious, but clearly, the monsters he's fighting with his fellow vision holders don't come from the deepest pits of the abyss.

Not that he tells that anyone. Just because he came even closer to the Cavalry Captain and the two nuns from the church, doesn't mean he'll tell them he's Barbatos. He's pretty sure Barbara would have an aneurysm.

He also doesn't tell them because he doesn't have answers to his own questions. Why is he here? And how had he suddenly gained a stronger bow, stronger power? He recently lost his gnosis and he's under no illusion- he is one of the weaker Archons.

Barbara

Barbara's biggest fear is the abyss. It hadn't been, until she landed the very first time in it. Sure, she wasn't alone, but the many mosters and the whole atmosphere, just her experiencing this- it makes her shudder every time she thinks about it.

She is very glad she's not alone in this, always with Rosaria, Kaeya and Venti. All of them are strong fighters and seem to get stronger every time they 'visit' the abyss.

While the other three get rid of the monsters, Barbara is gladly the support and heals any kind of injuries. She learned fast to use her hydro vision even more efficiently. And she started practicing, to prepare herself even better for the next time in the abyss.

Thanks to the regular fighting in the abyss, not only got the three drinking friends closer, but the group as whole. Rosaria started to spend more time with Barbara, while Kaeya and Venti often visit them during their work time. A bit of an unusual friendship, but they make it work, somehow.

4.3 Spiral Abyss Recap

I said on my livestream a couple weeks ago that I've been feeling burnt out from Genshin. I usually do my spiral abyss the moment it gets reset but recently I've been postponing it to the very last end. This time tho, since I didn't know what to do on my livestream, I decided to just do the new abyss.

A lot of people said the abyss this time is much easier than the previous phase. I didn't believe it until I tried it myself. The buff is very beneficial for the current geo lady on the banner, Navia (or any other geo character). It's very expected for abyss buff to match the rate up character to help increase sale.

Originally I was gonna use hyperbloom on the first half to fight hydro tulpa but there are so many geo creatures on the second half, so bringing Navia there would be useless.

I decided to bring Navia to try the buff and to my surprise, she easily surpassed Neuvillette's record which was 250k-ish for the strongest single strike damage. Mind you, my Navia didn't have a complete set of the new artifact set yet. She only used random pieces until I was satisfied with her ratio. She is such a beast when built right, I don't regret pulling for her at all!

What If... #1

Genshin Impact is a popular game in Twisted Wonderland, and recently a new banner has been released. You are a 5 Star Character. What happens then?

A/N: Let me just start a damn taglist TvT

☆

TW: None! A bit of cursing on my side XD also some things maybe wrong since i haven't played Genshin in a while! I HOPE I DIDN'T PUT ANYTHING "SHE" RELATED I'M SORRY–

GN! (Y/N) 《Other Genders Will Also Be Made》

☆

Riddle Roseheart:

His team used to have Yanfei as DPS.

But look at that, your banner caught his eye.

Mans just did a bit of research on your character and DAMN, he pulled immediately.

Your skill and burst was best for him, he literally thought it was so cool and needed to get you.

Though he'd be a little raging tomato if he lost the 50/50 to Qiqi, he still managed to get you anyways.

Still has Yanfei on the team, expect you're now DPS.

Literally took him only 5 minutes to level you to 90, hell he was glad he won't spend hours grinding for your ascension materials, he already had them STOCKED.

He's not that good at dodging please help him.

Always has a healer or a shielder in his team with you, kinda hates it hearing your fallen line and death.

Sometimes it be like that, but he actually built you well. Tries to get your constellations on your rerun, and ended up with a C1 (Y/N) ♡

At least he got one, i'll give him that. Does like, 10K damage with you. Trey helped him choose the right artifacts.

Knows decent about it but honestly once tried to give Kaeya Diluc's artifacts. Please don't let him play alone.

Always struggled with regisvines as a noob player, but now that he got you with him he'll never die.

Also bought a (Y/N) figurine but let's not get to that...

Trey Clover:

Xiangling main turned (Y/N) main.

Kinda funny how he somehow manages to pull you twice in the same 10 pull out of sheer luck–

Makes an effort to build you since you're a 5 star. Doesn't mind much but he loves admiring your attacks.

Like omg you do more damage than any asian mother's slipper hitting your face. Went to spiral abyss on floor 10, obliterated every enemy almost in seconds with you.

Please i headcannon him to always feed you even if your health bar is more than half full. I love it.

Maybe sometimes stops moving just to hear your idle/chat voice lines. He'd be like "Aw ♡ you're nice". Then proceed to keep admiring your design like Mihoyo given a 5 star rating.

Once went Co-op with Cater just as he finished doing commissions and just went feral when he saw you–

"Trey omg!? Her banner just started 30 minutes ago!"

Yes Cater, we know. He's been saving up for his moment.

Checked to see if you have any voice lines about Xiangling and you do, you're besties. He loves you more now.

Probably triple crowned you, who knows.

Cater Diamond:

LMAO he got you 7 minutes before your banner ended.

Yes, he basically used up all his wishes tryna pull for Ayaka last time and lost the 50/50. Oh well, he got you.

Suprised NRC entirely when you came out honestly. You being the absolute heaven you are. He actually pulled for you like a few times until he had like one ten pull left.

Probably searched for a (Y/N) summoning ritual and watched some.

And yay, he went over to your nation archon's statue of the seven and pulled there. Screamed when he got a gold.

Literally skipped and just saw you in all your glory.

Time to build! He may have stolen some artifacts from a character but...they were probably useless to him now.

Probably took you out on expeditions all the time just so he could raise friendship lvl and know more about you.

Will Co-op and show off his lvl 90 (Y/N). Don't stop him, he's so happy. Try not to let him know about your C6 (Y/N).

I'm talking to all of you damn wHaLes–

Anyways, since he hated Childe's guts for trying to put chaos upon Liyue he beat him up with you LMAO

Really thinks you're cool and bought a lot of merch. Cause he does tons of damage with you why not? Dedicated simp.

His phone case is basically fanart of you and your burst.

Ace Trappola:

Built your vision build instead of physical.

Doesn't wanna admit it but also tested you out and made you climb some mountains...you know it, Genshin players. Tried it with Lisa, gonna try it with you.

I also think he'd be the type to nonchalantly reply to your chat lines or burst. When you say your burst he be like...

"Damn go off, (Y/N). Kick some ruin guard ass."

Somehow manages to make decent damage with you even though he's kind of shit with building. Pretty okay.

Isn't much of the type to help other players, but when he got you almost immediately he was in a good mood and built you to help others too.

Lvl 79 (Y/N) vs Lvl 40 Cryo Regisvine...

Yes i said 79, man didn't even bother for 80. Mans too lazy to keep leveling excuse me..

HELP HE SHIPS YOU WITH HIMSELF/HIS TRAVELER–

He's the kinda guy to probably secretly look up (Y/N) x Traveler fanart or fanfiction by secret.

Still doesn't know how to get your good ending in your hangout event..somehow always ends up making you sad and absolutely despises it.

Always uses emojis to chat with Deuce, what a mood.

Deuce Spade:

The one who goes to your lines in the menu and listens to everyone single one including your battle voice lines. Only a legend like him wouldn't get lazy listening to it all...

Doesn't have your own weapon, but he gave you a pretty good 4 star weapon anyway. More decent than Ace.

Is very troubled with certain bosses but since you're now his main life made everything for him so much easier.

Came back immediately and maxed you out to 90.

Doesn't have any of your constellations but pretty fine for him to have a C6 Qiqi.

I can feel his pain of gacha luck but wowie...you love him.

And so you came home. Pairs you up in a team with the two best Genshin characters he ships you with + a healer LMAO.

You may be doing 900 dmg but he has never been more proud of himself to actually be doing damage. Until he found out he forgot to level your talents and artifacts...Ace laughed at him so much.

"Shut it you orange you can't even properly use Beidou–"

Really shut him up so well that time.

When he met you in the archon quest, he could not be any happier and would be the player who screenshots that moment with their favs and stay until they have to go :(

Okay but when he saw an epic (Y/N) cutscene HE COULDN'T HELP BUT SCREAM IN HIS ROOM–

That scene remains played in his head the entire month.

Definitely had looked at some fanfiction with Ace lmao..

Leona Kingscholar:

Doesn't main, hell never even planned to pull for you.

But since our ultimate (Y/N) simp, Ruggie, was not taking any of that bullshit from him lol.

Made a bet with him and purposely won so the lazy lion would pull for you. And he reluctantly did. Even though you're a 5 star he used to think you weren't that good.

Until he watched some videos and now keeps you in his main team with Gorou XD

Doesn't Co-op, but did so once when Ruggie and Jack wanted to play together with him.

Gets chills when he activates your burst, it's so good.

The animation lives in his mind forever. Memorized your splash art and definitely knows your entire design.

Crowned you, triple crowned lol. You are respected.

Won't admit it but got attached to you and used you for everything. Expedition, cooking, fighting, even MINING–

He grew on you and you should be happy ♡

Never does his commissions but when he saw your story quest, he didn't want to do it but went like "whatever" and did it anyway XD

May or may not have also bought (Y/N) merch..

Ruggie Bucchi:

Since he's broke of course he's an F2P.

Saved for an entire year until your banner came. You were already guaranteed so uh...congrats bruv.

He only has a bunch of 4 star characters and weapons, but has Itto and Tighnari so it's pretty much fine. Look he love those two so much BAHAHA–

A good player. Doesn't have insane gacha luck but manages to at least get the characters he wants everytime.

You're the only one with 5 star artifacts because um favoritism ♡ just like my Kaeya TvT..

Somehow zooms through the entire exploration of the nation you reside in and it's all 100% TvT

I wish i was less lazy to actually be playing Genshin rn..

When someone slanders you they 'bout to be prepared, their food is going to get taken the next day at the cafeteria.

A pretty nice player, helps others but not often.

His favorite thing to do is probably explore Sumeru around with you, and screenshot a photo of you and Tighnari, the fluffy ear boi beside each other.

When he's in a bad mood literally goes to auto join Co-op and take stuff without asking and only say thanks LMAO–

Like pls stop and just ask first oh my God.

Fears nothing. Just has a resting bitch face while playing.

Jack Howl:

Softie alert.

Doesn't know much about you since you were just released but you're from his favorite nation so why not?

Probably wanting to save for Scaramouche but...

He still has enough time for the update, so just prays and of course, with the blessing of the archons he got you. Thinks your idle animations and entertainment.

OKAY but when he finally finished Sumeru he just remembered you had a hangout event. Man rlly just forgot to do it.

Thinks you're fun to play. Help he kicked Raiden's ass with you and just you no healers or anything whatsoever–

Just a lvl 70 (Y/N) coming to beat God's ass ToT...normal..

Don't ask how he even got through the second phase, it took him around a few tries but managed to do it.

Co-ops with ADeuce + Epel pretty often.

If he was ever a youtuber w/ the other three they'd probably do stuff like "Smashing Teyvat With Four (Y/N)s" LOL

Likes Itto since he's buff and has a cool personality, so he's still in his team but (Y/N) remains superior.

Probably apologizes when you die aww TvT ♡

Because he also has Zhongli always shields you. Even if there's no fight like man does it to make sure you're safe.

Subscribes to Voltyea, ItsPaikon, Tuonto & Antonychenn. Awesome Genshin youtubers, you should too ;)

Azul Ashengrotto:

Sigh, look man....he..

He thinks you're hot. Like went wide eyed at your banner even after he thought Ayato was the best.

Also saw people using you and those players were strong af. Really likes it when you just burst it down in one go, like man he wants a (Y/N) like that.

Doesn't have much luck in pulling so spent money since there was only a few days left for your banner sgsjgsvis–

If you also have another character skin in the future you'd bet he'd buy it too. Would like how you look in anything ♡

Co-ops with the tweels + Idia. They have to carry him lol.

The only player that loves fighting Oceanid all the time.

Switches to walk mode sometimes and loves seeing you walkng like oh my God, fictional simp.

Has an all Hydro team, please don't ask why. I headcannon him to be a little inexperienced, but as time goes on he picks it up real fast and slowly gets really good.

So yeah. Usually ends up with over 5 million mora so if you fight him prepare for consequences.

Sometimes toxic people Co-op with him.

But he knows how to fight back. Shows them his (Y/N) build and they shut up.

Here's to a (Y/N) that does a shit ton of damage.

Jade Leech:

As people always say, insane gacha luck.

I wouldn't know who he mains but probably between some sort of tall handsome character or hydro character. Ayato? Zhongli? Childe? Never know.

Has every character in the game except the ones that he doesn't want. Definition of whale. Probably has C6 of almost every character.

Also another boy that crowns you cause why not ♡

Very good at bosses and dodging. This mischievous ass also makes you climb mountains...God save you, (Y/N).

Sometimes just makes you stop moving and keep his focus on you, staring right through the screen as if he thinks that would magically isekai you into TWST–

...Yeah, i'll make this a fanfic for another time.

Does your hangout event and attempts to get all endings.

And by your guessing, he might have did so. Yes, he did. All of the endings. It took a few hours but he did it.

Likes dragging hilichurls to the water and using Raiden or any electro character to electrocute them. Finds amusement in it. Mother i'm scared.

Waiting for the harbingers to get them all. I just feel the connection...for some reason. Really scary but hot vibes.

Floyd Leech:

Probably has multiple accounts, all in which have you in it.

Doesn't main you, but keeps you. He just wants to have you around. Made you a sub DPS.

I can see both him and Jade playing spiral abyss. Might rage a few times if he doesn't get 3 stars but cools down a bit after attempting one or two more times.

"Ne~ (Y/N), do your idle animation again."

Always says that when he's bored and used up all his resin. Reminds of that meme–

That guy poking a rock with a stick saying the same thing.

Anyways, plays Genshin all night usually. Finds entertainment in playing you and sometimes dares himself to even be using only you fighting weekly bosses AHHH–

Likes to put Klee, the destructive child and Kaeya, the handsome sly man with you in a team.

Got lazy to get your ascension materials for lvl 902 but when it was your birthday guess he wanted to do it somewhat as a birthday present lol.

Why do i feel like he watches (Y/N) MMD dances–

Kalim Al Asim:

Loves playing Genshin so much! Thinks it's fun.

Doesn't like seeing his characters die so probably makes a lot of food in advance before fighting bosses and stuff.

Overall shit player but gets better little by little! Sometimes forgets he gave you a 3 star weapon so quickly exits the domain just to put it back c'mon ToT

Likes using the wind glider with you probably. Reminds him of his flying carpet and thinks the plunge is cool.

Tell him to stop spending all his money for primos :>

Like you can spend in this game, yes but man probably wanted all the characters + you so bad he kinda spent over 20,000 madol the whole year...

Triple crowned C6 (Y/N). OH GOD.

Not to worry, Jamil stopped him though. A good sport. His (Y/N) does like 200 with burst damage. Had to learn about talents and stuff–

And yay he's no longer shit /j

I'm not a Kalim slander, okay don't be mad XD

I just play Genshin like a few days every month to a year so i have no idea how anything works anymore save me.

Pretty good at doing the time challenges, somehow ended up beating the ascension quest at the electro hypostasis with one second left–

His (Y/N) does 20K ♡ while my Kaeya does so much less ♡

Heart been broke so many times.

Jamil Viper:

A really good player, probably somewhat like Jade. At the start he probably mained Kaeya or something. Went straight to Diluc when he got him.

But boy oh boy you hit different cause you're (Y/N).

An F2P or a low spender, somewhere like that. Memorized all patterns and phases of Raiden, Childe & Signora.

Since he's okay it may just take him uh...probably around 10-15 minutes to beat up Raiden with you.

Once went across a (Y/N) slander account online.

God knows how or when that account got deleted but whohoo they're gone :)

Likes using you, takes you out on expeditions and God who knew he'd use your burst to kill Timmie's pigeons. Well he just saw a video about it and tried it haha bullying–

Probably went in a small state of shock seeing you in the archon quest like HELLO?? (Y/N) SIMPS ASSEMBLE??

Seeing you do all that big ass jumping and being hot..

Kinda reminded him of a second Eula or Zhongli idk–

So basically, probably tried to get some constellations on your rerun but it's up to you to know how much he got.

...C1.

Vil Schoenheit:

Time where he actually likes a character design other than Kokomi or Raiden.

Pretty much pulled for you and yea all that whatnot, we all know he'd get you XD if he has his eyes on something you'd bet he deserves to have it.

And there you are, lvl 90 (Y/N) in all it's glory.

Since doesn't have enough primogems or fates he asked Idia what weapon you should be using. Also asked for one that would be aesthetically pleasing for your character.

Crit Rate 65.3%– he's a chill player.

Mihoyo releases a new (Y/N) skin? Yes. He'll get it if he really likes it, but if it's you he'd still take it anyway. I mean like you're his best character and all, so gotta make it worth.

Never goes broke on mora #2. If being broke ever crossed your mind to him then you're very wrong.

Actually as rich in game as in real life, damn.

Not a whale though, maybe just a dolphin. Likes Yunjin too so has her with you. I'm jealous of his team, jk.

Like he ain't gonna be number two in anything, sissy.

Probably audibly gasped when he witnessed Venti get kicked by La Signora but went "Omg slay" after–

Whoever said (Y/N) is trash, he'll prove them wrong.

Rook Hunt:

I'm sorry but WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT DAMAGE–

Bro just started playing Genshin like for a few hours and already got himself a good Lisa build...

...Speedy thunder weird creature is this man?

Though higher AR means stronger enemies he does not give a shit and will absolutely fight back with his awesome skills. Took himself to Adventure Rank 60. UNLIKE ME–

Knows how to save unlike you guys and got you on your banner when he heard of your release.

Loves playing you honestly. He made you so well–

Better than any other (Y/N) main could possibly do. Yours does 15K? Bruh, this hunter does 30K ToT

Teach me your ways master Rook. Earlier about Ace and Deuce i said they read fanfiction right? Well, this guy is the one who makes the fanfiction.

Wastes no time to download Twisttpad on his laptop and his fingers typed so quick even Raiden was INFERIOR.

...Okay lame reference but at least i got that out of my head.

Doesn't give a care, even if he had a lvl 40 (Y/N) with the most terrible build ever he'd be using that in Co-op boss fights. And oh my sevens–

Somehow everyone else who was like lvl 70-80 died and he solos it and somehow manages to kill it and survive. Jade may be a good dodger, but this man is the GOD of dodging.

Never underestimate no matter how hard it may be.

Well he brought some food with him anyways. Often plays with Vil and Epel.

Epel Felmier:

PLS– the first years are literally going feral debating about which one of them has the best (Y/N).

Until Epel comes out with his and they go pikachu shocked.

Of course he didn't do it alone with his own experience. Trusted Rook to help him with it and man did it work wonders. Probably uses healer artifacts for you...why–

Well unless you ARE a healer then yay, you'll be replacing his dear 'ol Barbara.

Keeps Beidou because y e s. He chose it himself.

The fact that he's actually the most normal Genshin player in the entire fandom of Genshin makes it hilarious. Please stop bringing lvl 1 characters to lvl 90 domains–

But i once did that myself, could say it was fun though...

Much like Deuce and Jamil...and less like Vil, he is very vulgar when someone trash talks you.

Literally spits it in their face that his (Y/N) is better than your Diluc. Will not stand for any mean slander. Loves you and forever does.

Always keeps a healer like Barbara or Kokomi even if he replaces them with you, he'll probably go like...

"Alright, now protect my (Y/N). Okay?" CUTE AHDGSHW–

Kinda sad when he finds out you're shipped with other Genshin characters. Then shakes it off afterwards, he isn't gonna fall in love with a fictional charater sadly.

You're his main DPS, naturally. He didn't crown you tho.

Didn't because he doesn't have any lol. Barely plays Genshins on weekdays, usually on weekends and maybe rarely Friday too.

Idia Shroud:

The Genshin God of TWST and the biggest whale.

Don't even start on you. Just a bit of grinding and leveling, boom C6 lvl 90 (Y/N) with your weapon.

Maxed out right artifacts and triple crowned. Don't ask. The only C6 he doesn't have is Kaeya, Lisa and Amber. Look even he has his own hardships. C2 Kaeya though.

Insanely good at patterns and dodging.

One-faces La Signora regularly with no problems. Even more so he loves using you for looking hot while fighting.

His room is half-filled with (Y/N) posters, plushies, figurines, etc. you name it. Never forgets daily commissions and uses only you because he's a gamer God lol.

Has Diluc, Fischl, Barbara & Jean's other skins. And if you also have one he'll be the 3rd to have it (Azul & Vil yknow)...

Never underestimate an otaku and pro gamer.

Probably plays challenges with Lilia on a live stream like who can kill Raiden the fastest, who can kill a cryo resgisvine without breaking the corrolla, stuff like that...

It always ends so intense that fans are going crazy smh.

And sometimes there's a catch that they only have to use one or two characters. Both always use you LMAO–

Always expect better things each day in his streams.

Ortho Shroud:

Usually watches instead of plays, but Idia encouraged him to play so both could have fun.

He pulled you and Kequing ♡ first two 5 stars.

Of course a pro gamer as well like, he gives me those player vs AI robot battle vibes so much– except he's the AI and not actually bad TvT

Has lots of fun in the archon quests and weekly bosses. Expect him to get to Raiden's second face in 5 seconds.

Mihoyo has no idea wtf happened and how he did it.

Always helps other players! And when streaming, he also sometimes joins Idia and Lilia in playing. Who knows, maybe Cater as well if he has time.

Best (Y/N) build next to Idia you wouldn't believe it.

Not a C6, but somewhere near that. He'd probably get it if you get a rerun.

Also probably gives players good gacha luck and like damn thank him properly. Even if he has no idea what's going on he'll say "you're welcome" anyways.

Finds spiral abyss fun. Obtained a Xiangling and he felt happy about that.

Will literally find excitement in anything about you–

You're a 5 star. How nice! You give bonuses when cooking? That's awesome~ He's such a sunshine omg..

Loves your hangout event. Finished it immediately.

You are a character to be appreciated. Everyone agrees!

Malleus Draconia:

HE'S SO SHIT AT THIS GAME HELP LMAO–

Mostly finds the artifacts very confusing. Which ones should be used for (Y/N)? Should Lisa use travelling doctor? What does the +0 mean?

Lilia is always there to explain, and Malleus slowly understands. When i say slow, very slow.

But we'll be getting there soon nonetheless.

Amused when he pulled a 5 star which was you– like man didn't even try for the standard banner.

Wants to see if he'll get a limited character and he did. Probably has like three or four 5 star characters overall.

Does 5K damage, but that's good enough for him he says.

Probably the only TWST character that is most invested and interested in the Genshin lore. Maybe even your backstory, who knows.

If you have a really sad backstory like the others...

He'll feel bad. Always tries to remember it's fiction but can't stop feeling about it for you. Soft dragon.

When he first met you in game, i mean your cutscene–

He was both given a shock and wave of happiness. His favorite character is finally here! Very cool. Enjoyed the scene while it lasted and immediately ran to talk to you.

Two (Y/N)s up against each other...pff. Never does hangout events, actually too busy theorizing about Teyvat–

Just like anyone else. Unknown God? Celestia? The Fatui Harbingers & Tsaritsa? Expect him to be making lots of theories all the time. Sebek wholeheartedly agrees.

Lilia Vanrouge:

Not a Genshin god but could be a Genshin king probably. Another dolphin, mildly spends a little.

Pulled you on your rerun instead because he used all his primos for Zhongli. Used to main him too, always gets reminded of Malleus for some reason. Anyone else?

Doesn't even try. Can build you with his eyes closed, like do not even bLiNk and you're probably clashing dmg with Idia–

Which is why the streams are always so fun.

Co-op weekend nights with Diasomnia, in his world. He's at AR 60 and the others are probably around 50.

Will take a simple selfie with you admiring your character during the archon quest. If some epic cutscene happens he'll be very amused.

Little beastie is so strong~ he should make an entire cake dedicated to you! That's it.

Doesn't understand why everyone stopped him though.

Poor guy still doesn't know his cooking is shit but he tries– Also the one who makes the (Y/N) fanfiction.

But there's a twist to that. It's all smut. LMAO bestie doesn't even get fazed when he writes or reads lemons.

If it's you, then he gives no shit. Loves everything about your character and has a team dedicated to support you the entire time lol.

Often has to have C6 Qiqi to revive you. And probably has to always stick to Malleus incase well...stuff happens.

Overall likes your hangout event most. Good screenshots!

Sebek Zigvolt:

Very loud and obnoxious when it comes to you.

Will definitely show you off the other players with his nicely built (Y/N) thanks to Lilia, but never his first year friends because feels it's embarassing...

Manages to fight weekly bosses on his own, takes two or three tries but it's okay. He's a decent one

Imagine he bought a plushie of you and cuddles it AWW– nah that would seriously be so cute. (Y/N) simp.

Doesn't like Scaramouche for that one time he met with Traveler but wants his banner anyway...i mean, cool. Often updated with stuff and watches youtube Genshin leaks–

Asks Lilia or Silver for advice when doing puzzles.

Saw Dottore in the Sumeru trailer AND FREAKED OUT.

Another harbinger!? Damn, he'll be waiting for it. If anyonr of you want to see that trailer just message me!

Wait...are you shipped with any harbinger? Let him see.

Probably used to main someone tall and intimidating like his waka-sama...Zhongli, Kaeya, Diluc, Ayato, who knows.

Kinda felt mad when Traveler's sibling just left when they saw each other again. Hopes Genshin won't have a terrible ending and cry his crocodile tears.

Honestly same Sebek, same. Don't jinx it though.

Silver:

Used to main any hydro character or healer maybe. Thinks Kokomi is calming and cute.

But only for you he switched because like...(Y/N). That's all i have to say for you to understand. (Y/N).

Never even has to try when fighting bosses. Like–

Literally somehow obliterates them with his sheer luck. He almost falls asleep during Childe's boss fight and almost didn't manage to dodge the big whale LMAO.

Lucky he has food. Precious food for you worries. Saves some of your fanart on his phone.

So whenever he wants to sleep, he'll just look at your face and falls asleep peacefully ♡ prolly predicted you getting isekai'd in TWST so he has no problems loving you..

...Don't ask how he also has a C6 (Y/N).

Dies in the middle of an archon quest when he trials you because he just got shocked he saw you then just really stopped moving.

But oh well, that's not a problem. Say hello to steak. Or tevyat fried eggs...who knows.

Doesn't fight Raiden often. He falls asleep and dies.

Ends up snapping when he hears your soothing voice in his earphones though. Just smiles and continues playing like PLEASE I LOVE HIM HE'S SO PRECIOUS–

Mm, we love the power of (Y/N). Very delicious.

Just please always have Sebek wake him up when he falls asleep in playing, gets dejected when you die– just opens the Paimon menu everytime he feels like dozing off.

Cause y'know, Paimon's mysterious way of stopping time.

(I'M SORRY AGAIN FOR ERRORS THIS IS SO HALF ASSED..want to be added in a taglist? Just say it!)

Subject: The Spiral Abyss

Your post regarding the Spiral Abyss reminded me of how I had done floors 1 to 5 until I stopped long ago because I, apparently, didn't have a good team for floor 6 (needing to have two teams for someone who had a anemo traveller, Kaeya, Xiangling and Lisa as a team... it's self explanatory)

And then I thought, 'perhaps I should get primogems through quests and exploration till then'.

Long story short, that's how I barely touched the spiral abyss until now

Hoping you can win your 50/50 on Baizhu's banner

🍀

KGHKDFS PLS 😭honestly abyss is just smth u do once ur comfy with ur account and have a decently built roster of characters (up to floor 8 at least) ;w;

but i hope that ur abyss runs are as stress free as possible :'D

currently im debating whether clearing the abyss this reset is worth the pain bc i already full cleared floors 9-11....

hhh....

oh also !! funny story actually (well to me at least). so floor 11 chamber 2 second half is just full of water mimics. and i ran that half with my aggravate team : raiden, dendro mc, kuki, haitham.

as u can see, no shielder, but a lvl 70 kuki who i have barely built (she does have 925 em tho so i count that as a win). anywho, as u may know, kuki sacrifices her health when using her skill. what does this mean, u may be asking?

it means i died on 11-2 but still somehow got 3 stars :D honestly it was probably bc lumine got the bird right before she died so it counted 😭 but i didnt realise it just took u to the next chamber with the charas revived if u die 🐥 the more u know??

[sunsrefuge]

It might be too much BUT if you feel like it, all the playlist asks for Phoenix? :>

That's not too much at all, it's honestly what I was hoping for!! ^^ These are likely going to include me picking out lyrics as well so this may get long! <3 It got very long, oh gosh, don't worry about reading all of it if it's too much kajshdaus

I had a lot of fun with this though!! thanks so much for the ask!! <3

Backstory: Just Breathe by The Unlikely Candidates

I have no memories, just feelings lingering.

She's amnesiac, so her starting point definitely feels senseless in a way! This song is very calm and mellow imo, and the lines "Just close your eyes, / And have some fun" remind me of her pull to make everything fun so it feels bearable. ^^ Also, near the end of the song;

Can I learn to live again? (I'm staring into the abyss, I can't take my eyes off it.) Still one unanswered question, (I'm staring into the abyss, I can't take my eyes off it.) And I will fall onto the street, Against a wall, the bridge I keep. Just breathe.

It does really well at making just breathe into a mantra to keep yourself calm, and keep yourself going! Also, the abyss mention... stares at the end of EoD

Personality: Hard Times by Paramore (Minor flashing lights warning for the video! Mainly affective in the second half.)

(Hard times,) Gonna make you wonder why you even try. (Hard times,) Gonna take you down and laugh when you cry. (These lives,) And I still don't know how I even survive. (Hard times, hard times,) And I gotta get to rock bottom!

Fun bonus information; Hayley Williams is also Phoenix's voice claim! ^^ But when it comes to her work as the Commander, she's definitely prone to working herself to the bone to make sure everything's done right and to perfection. It also has more of her 'free fall' themes lol

Tell my friends, I'm coming down, We'll kick it, when I hit the ground.

She's gotta have everything under control, and even if things going wrong makes her spiral a bit, she maintains her upbeat persona no matter what! I can't wait to watch it break asdkjSHJ

Angst: Every Second by The Vocal Few

Okay, this is like, the harbinger of her playlist! It's been the first or second song since I started her playlist about four and a half years ago!! <3 It's very integral to her vibe as a Commannder!

I never dreamed this life for me, But I am not afraid. At 35,000 feet, I make my peace with fate. If my work here’s complete, Before we hit the ground; May we sing the truth that sets us free, 'Cause every second counts!

This makes me think heavily about the entrance to Dragonfall! I really like dramatic flight scenes, (thanks Avatar & HTTYD! ^^) so I do like to think that her and Aurene had some flight trouble when coming back out of the Mists with all those falling pieces around them! This is another song that constantly puts AMVs in my head - just a cut from her playing around with her Griffon in the Highlands during the chorus, to free falling out of the Mists and over the ocean in Dragonfall during the bridge that follows... It's so so good I really should learn how to animate aksjdhau

There are just SO many themes in this song that hit so well for her!! There's also a part about a flight attendant;

Oh flight attendant, could you tell me the story of how You gave up trying to control your fate and rescue yourself? So calm and patient, you greet death every day with a smile. If today he takes you, would you say that your life was worthwhile? And just smile?

It's just... the vibes are fuckin' immaculate <3 I feel like it really highlights how she's seen so many people die around her, that she's both accepted that death is her eventual fate, but she also has this complex of continuing to fight against it because the Commander never fails.

Comfort: If I Ever Leave This World Alive by Flogging Molly

I think it's ironic that it's a little morbid, but stuff like this is what would actually comfort Phoenix in her Commander AU's!

If I ever leave this world alive, I'll take on all the sadness that I left behind. If I ever leave this world alive, The madness that you feel will soon subside. So in a word, don't shed a tear, I'll be here when it all gets weird, If I ever leave this world alive.

It's primarily the comfort that she'll still be able to do something when she's gone, if she ever is. The idea of being helpless in death really scares her, to the point that I'm sure even if she does die... she'll be back somehow lmao. -- Also! fun fact that part of why this is on here is because she's got a slight Irish accent! :D Her accent is far more prominent in AU's where she gets to grow up with her family though <3

Love Life: Walking The Wire by Imagine Dragons

I'm so excited about this one!! Okay, so, in my personal AU Phoenix has yet to find love, but!! I asked my bestie if I could mention one of our joint AU's and they said yes!! :D So this is about her and Lochlan (who belongs to @mavelleofdawn) !! <3

Do you feel the same when I'm away from you? Do you know the line that I'd walk for you?

Important context for this; by the time they meet, it's Icebrood Saga! So Phoenix is already a Sylvari, and Lochlan is a Duke of the Court! So 'do you know the line that I'd walk for you?' is very prominent on both sides!! ^^ Also, kinda funny because he lowkey shows up because it'd be such an achievement to turn the Sylvari Champion / Commander from a Dreamer to the Nightmare... he's gonna find out that that won't work though, since she's technically not even connected to the Dream akjshduskjs

Oh, I'll take your hand when thunder roars. And I'll hold you close, I'll stay the course. I promise you from up above, That we'll take what comes, take what comes... Love.

also the bridge of this song is just, so so soft it drives me insane. I just think that they're really fun and really cute and these two fill me with so much joy aksjdhaubkdjs

Fight Scene: All Eyes On You by Smash Into Pieces

Now the whole world's watching every move, Take your shot, don't act a fool. All you've got and all you'll ever need... Is one bullet in the chamber. Breathe easy, take your aim, boy. Ain't nobody gonna save you, So what you gonna do? (All eyes on you.)

This song is on her playlist for the sole reason of fight scenes!! ^^ It got added to her playlist during Icebrood Saga, where I had a stint of canonly swapping her to Deadeye, but it's definitely sticking around because I think I'm just gonna have her multiclass after her (second) experience with death! This song has a lot of urgency, and feels a little chaotic at points, and by god I've imagined so so many AMVs of her to this song... <3 Also. I think that Revenants deserve a gun.

Thirst Trap Fancam?

Okay, I am doing this one more as a joke rather than seriously, but for Phoenix... Probably Die For You by The Weeknd! It's got a good beat and lyrics and there's something about this part that vibes:

I would die for you, I would lie for you, Keep it real with you, I would kill for you, my baby.

Does it vibe mainly because her partner is a Duke of the Nightmare Court?? discuss! /hj

[helly-watermelonsmellinfellon]

My current Genshin goal is to get all of my characters to at least LV 80. That way, potentially, they could all be useful in the Spiral Abyss at some point. I want to see if I can make some interesting teams. Half of of my characters are Lv 90 already so I'm decently there.

I just spent the past 2 days using all my resin(daily and saved) to get my 5 lowest characters who were all LV 60, to the next Ascension phase. I'm now going to farm EXP books and Gold for a few days until they are all at LV 70. Then I can move onto the next few who were already LV 70.

I recently had an idea for a F2P Spiral Abyss team but 3 of the characters were LV 60 or below so I decided to work on leveling them all up a little, and after that, I just decided to level everyone up as a long-term project to distract me.

Anyway, the team was to be Dendro Traveler and then 3 characters who specifically had Skills that summon something that surrounds the character and stays even when swapping back and forth, but also continuously applies Elemental DMG. So I have Barbara, Kuki Shinobu, and Xinyan. I could have replaced Xinyan with Thoma as he's already leveled and built, but this build relies heavily on her Burst causing the most DMG as well so...

Traveler's Skill, Barbara's Skill, Shinobu's Skill, Xinyan's Skill, Traveler's Burst, Barbara's Burst, Shinobu's Burst, and finally Xinyan's Burst. I was able to clear Spiral Abyss FL 9-1 and 10-1 with enough time to spare for a solo LV 90 C0 Zhongli to finish the second halves in time to get all 3 stars. I haven't tried FL 11-1 or 12-1 yet but I think the three 4* will have to be LV 80 with higher Talents first, just to be safe.

[ash-l31gh]

The Pheonix Emerged From The Abyss PT 4/???

Diluc lead them both to the spiral abyss slaughtering enemies in their path... They made it threw the first eight chambers but when they got to chamber nine it became a real problem with enemies that are rare to even find in the abyss but they still continued with many injuries up until chamber twelve the last one... With an electro regisvine on the first half and a mechanical cube on the second half.... Diluc went the first half while Childe (he called him that because he acts like one) took the second half....

"This is Sneznaya..... Not to different from Dragonspine" Diluc said as snow poured into his glowing hair... "Let's take you to my family now that we're out of 'that' place!!! They'll understand!!! Oh and make sure to call me Ajax while we're there." Childe said and Diluc hummed while nodding his head as a reply..

They walked for a little while with a flame conjured in Dilucs hand to create light and warmth in the forest.

"Ajax!Ajax where are you?!?!" A feminine voice screamed "Mama!!!!" Chil- Ajax yelled back while running to her holding Dilucs hand to drag him along. He began blushing slightly..

"Oh? Who is this sweetheart?" "This is Pheonix or Nix mama!" "Hello ma'am" "Im assuming you don't have anywhere to go? Please call me Ava" "Correct" "You can stay with us for the time being" "Thank you"

"Where are you...??" Kaeya whispered to no-one in a sad tone. "Luc...please don't be dead..." A tear slid down his cheek onto the table...

The three of them were walking to a decent sized house "Before I forget there are three other people living in this house not included me or Ajax but we do have a spare room for you" Diluc hummed and nodded in response. When they arrived at the house Ava opened the door and he saw the younger sibling and one older one playing together and coloring in some books.... It brings back memories..

"10....9....8...." Jean counted down. He hid in the tree leaves to hide while Kaeya was in a bush and amber was hiding in an empty barrel. "3.....2.....1..! Ready or not hear I come!!!" Jean yelled. She saw Kaeyas blue hair sticking out of the bush but she went somewhere else to look for someone to make Kaeya believe he's going to win... She went towards the back of the Winery and looked behind barrels and crates when she saw something odd about a particular barrel.. She looked through the hole and saw red clothing either being Luc it Amber. She took of the lid and yelled "Found you Amb!!" "Awww.. I thought I was going to win this time..." She said while Jean giggled "let's go find Luc it Kae" she said "c'mon follow me!!" She went the same way she went and went into a bush "hehehe.. Found you Kae" "Hmpf" he pouted "How about all three of us find Luc?!" Jean said "Yes!!" Kae and Amb yelled.. They were searching for an hour and Jean yelled "We give up Luc!!!" He head this and jumped down a tree "I remain the champion of hide and seek!!!"

"Mama who's this?" The youngest looking one. " This is Pheonix or Nix Tonia" "Hello Nix!!!" She said "Hello" he said with a slight smile "He doesn't have anywhere to go so he's staying here for a while" "Okay!!!" The youngest two said before going to a play room "Mama are you sure about this..? You know we don't have much.." the eldest said "I'll help out.." diluc said. " Thank you Nix" "Its nothing" they were inside the house playing with the children well Ajax and Diluc were.. "Nix.. do you mind if we ask a few questions about you?? You don't have to answer them all.." Tonia asked "Sure.." "Do you have a vision" "I do. Pyro it is" "Cool!!!" "Which Nation are you from???" "Mondstradt" "oooo!! How was it like there "it was..."

This lasted a half an hour or and hour long and not answering the more sensitive questionswhile they were playing together till Ava shouted "Children!!! Papas back!!!"

Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix Recap: Twilight Town (The 1st Day)

Much like the first game, Kingdom Hearts II begins with a quote:

"A scattered dream that's like a far-off memory.

"A far-off memory that's like a scattered dream.

"I want to line the pieces up-

"yours and mine."

After this Sanctuary ~opening version~ starts playing, over an FMV that recaps the first game and Chain of Memories, opening with Kairi making Oathkeeper, before cutting to the tree she, Sora, and Riku watch the sunset on.

Riku and Kairi get dusted when Thanos snapped his fingers, and then Sora jumps off the tree as the entire Island gets Thanos Snapped, landing in Hollow Bastion's rising falls next to Donald and Goofy, Heartless standing on all the other platforms.

The trio fight past the Heartless until the scene transitions to Sora finding Kairi's unconscious body in the great hall in front of the Final Keyhole.

Sora tries and fails to wake Kairi up, and then notices Riku-Ansem staring up at the Final Keyhole.

Riku-Ansem turns to face Sora and holds out his hand as the room transforms into Destiny Islands, a tidal wave rising behind Riku-Ansem.

Sora and Riku-Ansem clash in front of the Final Keyhole, until Riku-Ansem jumps, Riku's body peeling away to reveal Ansem's true form underneath.

Sora charges Ansem, jumps, and slashes his Keyblade, cutting to the light of Kingdom Hearts shining through the Door to Darkness and destroying Ansem.

Riku is sealed behind the Door to Darkness, and Sora releases Kairi's heart, before being restored by Kairi in the very next scene.

Kairi looks out over the ocean back at Destiny Islands, all alone, waiting for Sora to return as the sky darkens, bits of light raining down as Sora and Kairi are separated.

Night gives way to day as Kairi dissolves into sand that blows closer to the camera and reforms into an older version of Kairi with slightly longer hair, showing just how much time has passed since the Door to Darkness closed.

She mouths Sora's name, and we see a flash of Naminé mouthing the same thing on the opposite half of the screen for a brief second before fading back to Kairi.

Destiny Islands then fades into Castle Oblivion as Naminé sketches, the sketch is of a spiral staircase with Heartless on it, which transitions into Sora, Donald, and Goofy fighting their way up the stairs, reducing the Heartless to vapors, with DiZ and a hooded figure visible higher up.

The scene then zooms into a white hallway where Sora battles Marluxia while Riku (in his Dark Mode) battles Ansem.

One final Strike Raid transitions back to the spiral staircase in the void as Sora, Donald, and Goofy run higher up, the camera rising to reveal Riku, alternating between both the trio and Riku until we have Sora and friends running up the stairs while Riku is running on the underside.

When Sora reaches Naminé, she draws a picture of him sleeping inside the flower pod, causing one to encapsulate him. Naminé says something to Sora, who falls asleep as a result.

He falls backwards, flying through the void as it peels away to reveal Destiny Islands.

Naminé smiles as she closes her sketchbook on a drawing of Sora's sleeping face.

Sora sleeps on the beach, hand in hand with Riku and Kairi before the scene shatters as the blond haired kid from Chain of Memories' epilogue scenes falls into a dark abyss from where Sora had been laying..

Birds fly out of the ground when he lands, revealing a stained glass pillar from the Dive to the Heart, this one depicting Sora, with Riku's, Kairi's, Donald's, and Goofy's faces depicted in four circles at the center of the platform.

The scene transitions to the Realm of Darkness and the FMV ends.

Two Keyblades Guy emerges from a dark portal.

"You have arrived," the Unknown remarks.

Two Keyblades Guy approaches the Unknown.

"I've been to see him..." the Unknown explains, "He looked a lot like you."

Who are you?

"I'm what's left," the Unknown replies, "Or... maybe I'm all there ever was."

I meant your name.

"My name is of no importance," the Unknown answers, "What about you? Do you remember your true name?"

My true name... is...

"Sora?"

We cut to a blue sky on Destiny Islands as Kairi startles Sora awake.

"Woah! Give me a break Kai-"

Static interrupts the scene.

"Giving up already?"

Sora, Riku, and Kairi race across the beach.

Static and code cut the scene ahead to Riku, Kairi, and Sora watching the sunset on the paopu tree.

"If there are any other worlds out there, why did we end up on this one?" Riku questions.

The scene cuts away as Sora is about to answer, to the drawing of Sora offering Kairi a paopu fruit.

"This world has been connected," Ansem notes in his robed figure form.

"Wh-who's there?" Sora questions as he turns to face Ansem.

"Tied to the darkness..."

Static cuts to Sora's and Kairi's conversation on the docks.

"Sora, don't ever change."

The scene cuts ahead to Riku offering his hand to Sora.

"The door has opened..."

"What?"

Darkness envelops Sora and Riku.

Code cuts ahead to the clash with the Darkside.

"You understanding nothing."

Static cuts to Kairi getting blasted by darkness in the Secret Place, taking shelter in Sora's heart.

"Sora..."

Blond haired kid wakes up in his room, and unlike Sora in the first game, he's actually wearing pajamas.

"Another dream about him..." he notes.

He opens the window to look over Twilight Town, bathed in orange light.

Later on, he arrives at The Usual Spot in the same black and white outfit he wore in Chain of Memories' epilogues, alongside the trio of kids from those same epilogues. This is Hayner, Pence, and Olette, his closest friends, and Hayner is complaining about the quartet being framed for some kind of crime, Pence expressing disgust with the party responsible for the accusation, and Olette declaring that Seifer (Final Fantasy VIII) has gone too far this time. Blond haired kid isn't really paying attention though, too distracted by his dreams.

"I mean, it's true that stuff's been stolen around town," Hayner notes, "And we've got a score to settle with Seifer and everything. So if he wants to think we did it, I can't really blame him. See... that's not what really bugs me. What REALLY bugs me is that  he's goin' around tellin' everybody we're the thieves! Now the whole town and their mothers are treating us like the Klepto Club!"

Hayner's rage is, understandably, boiling over as he wonders what to do.

Blond haired kid suggests finding the real thieves, since that would set the record straight.

Pence notes that it sounds like fun, while Hayner asks about Seifer, but blond haired kid points out they need to worry about clearing their own names first.

Unfortunately, Pence realizes that the thieves struck again as he carries a camera, because their ------ are gone.

And not just the ------ but the word ----- as well!

They can't even say the word, but they can figure out what Pence is trying to say from the context.

Realizing that there's no way Seifer could steal an entire word from the English/Japanese language, our heroes decide to do some recon.

Hayner, Pence, and Olette rush on out, but blond haired kid is hit with a dizzy spell and passes out.

"His heart is returning," DiZ notes (voiced in this game by the late and great Christopher Lee, every single line recorded perfectly in one take), "Doubtless he'll awaken very soon."

Blond haired kid comes too and pushes himself off the ground as Olette comes back.

"Roxas, c'mon."

With Roxas' name revealed, the tutorial begins.

The first place they check out is the armor shop.

The shopkeeper, Biggs (recurring name from the Final Fantasy series, this one is a blend of the Final Fantasy VI and Final Fantasy VII versions of the character), accuses Roxas of the theft.

When Roxas asks what was stolen, Biggs refuses to cooperate, telling them to ask the shopkeeper of the accessory shop.

Cue the tutorial on using Reaction Commands, in this case, using them to talk to NPC's.

The accessory shop is run by Jessie from Final Fantasy VII. She isn't completely convinced that Roxas is the thief (partially because of how out of character it would be for him), but doesn't know who else it could be, with all evidence pointing to him.

Sadly, she didn't see the thief, but suggests that they speak with the elderly woman who runs the candy shop.

The elderly woman notes that her cat has gone missing, and asks if Roxas has seen him.

The cat is on the awning of her shop.

Cue the tutorial for the camera and Locking On to targets.

Locking onto the cat concludes the tutorial and reunites him with his human.

Roxas asks if the thieves stole something from the elderly woman, and she reveals that she was robbed as well.

They took something important from her.

Unlike the other shopkeepers, she doesn't suspect Roxas or his friends of stealing her ------.

Hayner notes that the culprit seems to be going around and stealing ------, and the word ----- as well.

Roxas decides they should go to the sandlot to see if Seifer knows anything about this.

In the sandlot, our heroes encounter Rai and Fuu from Final Fantasy VIII and Vivi from Final Fantasy IX.

Fuu immediately calls the quartet thieves when Vivi points them out, with Rai calling them "low".

Unlike with Squall/Leon, all the Final Fantasy VIII characters in Twilight Town are teenagers, with Seifer deliberately trying to rile up Hayner.

"You can gives us back the ----- now," Seifer states.

"Yeah, you're the only ones who could've took it, y'know?" Rai adds (note: Fuu's gimmick is that she only speaks in single word sentences, while Rai's gimmick is that he punctuates every sentence with "y'know". That's not a gimmick to make them more like teens, they were like that in Final Fantasy VIII as well).

"That was undeniable proof that we totally owned you lamers," Seifer somehow declares with a straight face as the player dies laughing, "So what did you do? Burn it?"

Seifer declares that they don't need ------ to prove that Roxas and his friends are losers.

"Replay," Fuu suggests, and both groups prepare for battle, Seifer saying that he MIGHT let it slide if they get on their knees and beg.

Roxas plays along in order to arm himself with one of three Struggle Bats.

The Struggle Bats are all foam/plastic bats (not sure which), with brown handles and blue, well, bats.

One looks like a staff, prioritizing "unusual attacks" (aka, Magic). Another has a hand guard that prioritizes defense. The last is used in Struggle battles and prioritizes offense.

Regardless, the combat tutorial pits Roxas against Seifer.

After the tutorial, the first miniboss begins.

In this game, the "command menu" changes its theme to match whatever world you're in. It's just a nice aesthetic change, but there is an option in the pause menu to change it back to KH1's.

After Roxas defeats Seifer, Pence decides to use his camera to commemorate this moment for ever.

Click!

Cue a weird noodly fellow in white (with an upside down, splintered heart emblem emblazoned on the head) jumping in and swiping the camera.

Roxas and friends chase after the thief, but Roxas leaves his friends in the dust as the thief rushes into the woods.

Roxas eventually corners the figure outside the old mansion.

We have come for you, my liege.

Roxas is confused, at which point the eye-less creature unzips its mouth, revealing its pulsating jaws.

The thief is bone thin, yet stretches and contorts in a boneless gait. Its fingers are bound together, making all four of its limbs more like tentacles.

And Roxas' bat cannot damage whatever this thing is in the ensuing fight.

Roxas can use the "Reversal" Reaction Command to zip behind it.

After it becomes clear that nothing Roxas can do is hurting the thief, ones and zeroes zip around his bat.

In a flash of light, it becomes the Kingdom Key.

The battle resumes, and the thief drops HP and Munny upon its defeat.

The slain thief dissolves into light upon death, scattering various photographs across the ground as it fades, the Keyblade vanishing in the same flash of light and code that it appeared in.

Roxas has recovered all of the stolen photos, AND they can say the word "photo" again.

Roxas was Biggs' customer, and they took a picture together to commemorate.

They tease Roxas over the picture he took with Jessie.

Cue them realizing that ALL of the stolen pictures have Roxas in them, thus why everyone thought THEY were the thieves.

(One of the pictures is of Seifer standing over a defeated Roxas.)

The last picture is one the quartet took together in front of the Old Mansion.

Pence wonders if the thief wanted to steal Roxas.

"C'mon, get serious," Hayner replies, "Why would anyone wanna steal a bonehead like Roxas?"

"Oh thanks!" Roxas replies, and the group laugh as a train passes overhead.

Hayner, Pence, and Olette bid Roxas farewell, and Roxas walks out of the usual spot, blocking the setting sun out of his eye as the screen fades to black.

"Where, am I?" Sora asks.

"Who's there?" Roxas replies.

"Who are you?" Sora asks.

Static overtakes the screen.

"Restoration at 12%," a computerized voice declares.

DiZ sits at a computer with WAY too many monitors as a man in a black coat approaches him.

"Organization miscreants..." DiZ growls, "They've found us."

"But... why would the Nobodies steal photographs?" the man in the black coat asks.

"Both are nothing but data to them," DiZ answers, "The fools could never tell the difference."

DiZ notes that they're running out of time, and that Naminé must hurry.

-

Oh dope Christopher Lee! Also the noodly fuckers always creeped me out so much

I have a /vague/ idea of what's going on between Sora and Roxas but also no idea at the same time!

[joeymiya]

decided to half ass the second half of my spiral abyss team and managed to beat 5 1 to 3 all chambers and got 300 primos tried a bit on 6-1 and 2 and got 2-3 mostly likely bc only mona was built well enough and high crit dmg saved my ass so much despite her having 22 crit rate god bless u mona and also put bennett in second half since he’s the other character i’m building up lvl 70 but his weapon is still lvl 60 or so and bennett’s talents are all 1/1/1 so it kind of sucked. had lisa and faruzan bc they were the only other characters i used way back dropped amber like a hot potato since having 2 pyro characters felt like overkill

also pulled on baizhu’s banner 8 pulls and no kaveh, god hoyoverse, give me kaveh pls u gave me way too many laylas and doris last banner why not a simple little wet cat kaveh huh ! i want him so bad man and decided to pull a few on standard with some normal stardust glitter or whatever not the ones that cost 5 something somethings and do u know what character i end up pulling ?

kaeya !!!!!! welcome surprise kaeya’s c1 now wow never thought i’d see that.

tomorrow i’ll probably still farm artifacts for bennett and see if i get some good 5 stars for bennett also reach ar 45 so i got access to the strongbox and got one good artifact out of it for bennett

Whispers - Jang Hanseo x Reader

Oneshot, 1k, SFW + gender neutral

A/N: my first time doing a fic on tumblr 😔🤚🏻

His wound was healing faster than the doctors had expected, and Jang Hanseo found out playing dead wasn’t as fun as it seemed in the movies.

He had to deal with watching from afar as Babel Group descended into chaos, without a Chairman or Vice; all his subordinates were at each other’s throats for the seat.

Then he remembered his wish, that he could run the company on his own without the scar of needless death. That he would not run Babel the way his older half brother did.

Through this mental storm, a clearing came in the clouds as Hanseo found the perfect candidate for the next Babel CEO.

“ Me?” You nearly exclaimed, but kept it low for your ex-boss’s sake. You were one of the few who knew that Hanseo was alive, and was not hoping to keep it that way. You wanted him to reveal himself and return to his position of power- but he said he didn’t want anything to do with it anymore. Not after everything that happened to him.

You knew better than to pry into someone’s personal business- especially if they used to be your boss- but something was different about Jang Hanseo.

How he walked like he was always being watched, the way his hands tremble when someone touches him the slightest and how his eyes shine in the smallest of praises.

“ Er- yes, you.” He confirmed, still sitting upright in his hospital bed, his hair a bit messy from tossing and turning in his sleep.

You found out he was alive by accident.

You were visiting your friend who worked in the same hospital to gift them something in advance for their birthday. As you walked past the patient rooms, you spotted the notorious Hong Chayoung you saw in the news. Intrigued, you tailed her until she entered a private luxury room that had no other than Jang Hanseo lying inside.

He screamed as you did as well. Noticing how much of a panic he fell into, you took pity and sympathized with him. Although he was now nothing like the man you had once worked under.

You didn’t know how to reply, and wasn’t sure what was appropriate to ask or say. Sucking in a deep breath, you smiled warmly and gave a curt bow. “ Thank you, Mr. Jang.”

He broke out into a gummy smile, a hand waving away the honorifics. “ It’s Hanseo, I’m not your boss anymore.”

From then on, fabricating a not-so-fake will, you took on Babel Group and started a new era as you reigned profits back in. It was harder than it looked, as you spent restless nights up without a wink of sleep.

Although through all this chaos, you still found time to visit Hanseo time to time, updating him on the company and buying him snacks.

You noticed even if you did the tiniest things- like the first time you brought in a bungeoppang you had purchased from a street vendor outside- his mood would instantly light up, his smile rivaling the brightness of the sun. He acted like you had just eradicated all his debt or something, and as confused as you were, you found it endearing. You had no idea your ex-boss was so, so cute.

Childlike wonder filled his eyes whenever he talked about his Vinny hyung or Chayoung noona, speaking just like how a little boy would ramble on about Superman.

Before you knew it, your heart was racing every time you approached his hospital room; knocking on the door was nerve wracking as you tried to keep your emotions under wraps.

That was, until, he pulled this.

You weren’t able to buy a snack this time around, as your schedule was too tight to even go slightly out of line.

Hanseo could tell you were tired, recalling his old memories as the puppet Chairman. The way you ran your hand through your hair, biting the inside of your cheek as you constantly took in deep sighs.

Months had flown and Hanseo felt so attached to you he decided he would tell the truth about everything. What happened on the night he “died”, how he was so close to that Consigliere and what his past with the late Hanseok was.

His body shivered as he spoke candidly, as if he was reliving the past in this very moment. Suddenly, arms wrapped around his waist, bringing him into a hug. You patted his back softly in a soothing rhythm.

“ You are so strong, Hanseo.” Was the first thing you had whispered to him through his subsiding tears.

Soon those sobs turned to silent cries and those cries faded into hiccups that transformed into an angelic laugh. A weight was released from his shoulders as he absorbed every comforting praise you threw his way.

Later, you had to let go of him, straightening out his blanket until his fingers weaved into a hold to yours.

“ Could- could you, stay? Longer?” He piped up, only to fall into the abyss of another panic. “ A little while! You don’t have to, I mean. I know you’re really busy with the company- which I kind of forced on you to be honest- and I’m so sorry for- mMH!”

Your lips were instinctively drawn to his, as if it lured you in.

Eyes widening in shock, blood rushed to his face as it colored his adorable face red. He melted into the kiss. Placing a hand on your face, he silently begged you to deepen the kiss as his heart pounded loudly in his chest. His heartbeat being the rhythm to the melody your lips had made, hands threading through hair and tunes spiraling out of mouths.

Seconds passed and you both parted for air, panting in the now tense atmosphere. You easily broke the said awkwardness as you whispered:

“ Don’t ever apologize, my prince.”

BONUS:

“ And- and then I got kiSSED!” Hanseo exclaimed to Vincenzo, who smiled warmly at his excited tone and gestures.

“ I’m proud of you, Hanseo.” He said, patting his shoulder as the younger grinned. “ Hopefully I’ll meet this lover of yours soon.” Vincenzo remarked, fiddling with the curtains of the hospital room. Hanseo’s gaze found itself focusing on the engagement ring that his hyung wore. His overactive imagination then wondered how it would be like to propose to you, to place a ring on your finger, to marry you, to-

Snapping out of his trance, he quickly replied. “ Me too, Vinny Hyung.” Not shying away from the lovesick look that had taken over his face, he stared down into his fidgeting hands. “ Prince...” He then mumbled under his breath, not wanting to say it loud enough for anyone else to hear.

This would be his own memory to keep- even from his dear hyung- that you had whispered into his ear, calling him your prince.

✨ the end ✨

4.2 Spiral Abyss Waning Phase Recap

Spiral abyss has just reseted a couple days ago and changed its enemy lineup. I took a peek from my friends on Twitter and Youtube who say that this phase is quite troublesome especially if you don't have a lot of hydro characters since we'll be facing 2 pyro lectors on floor 12.

Usually the buff and enemy of spiral abyss is suited to promote the current character banner so I thought I'd be fine since I already have Furina. But when I was doing random coop, someone told me that the spiral is more suited for Neuvillette instead of Furina since her hydro application is a mess, and I agree.

Tbh true damage buff isn't really my favorite type of buff lol. I prefer the previous abyss buff which adds elemental damage bonus. This buff can be maximized if you have Fontainean character or Furina in your team which will help drain your team's hp.

This is my floor 12 lineup. This is probably the first time Hoyo put all the single boss on the second half. Usually they put 1 on the first half on chamber 1, and then the next boss on the second half on chamber 2, etc etc. So if you wanna bring someone like Yoimiya who specializes in single target, you can definitely put her on the second half team.

I pick my newly assembled hyper carry Neuvillette team on the first half since most of the enemies are pyro. And as always, my ultimate die hard hyperbloom team which never fails to clear the abyss for the second half.

YOU MUST BRING HYDRO for the first half. Like I said, there'll be so many enemies with pyro shield that you need to break and hydro is the fastest pyro shield breaker. If you have Furina and wants to bring her, try bringing another hydro as her hydro application is inconsistent. It's also easier if you have crowd control like Kazuha or Venti because the enemies are scattered and if you're not good at manual grouping, it's gonna take longer.

For the second half, just bring your best team that you know can tank and deal a huge amount of damage, preferrably nuker because Coppelia on the second half 12-3 is very deadly. One hit and your character's gone.

I thought I could finish the battle in one run but I had to redo 12-3 second half because Kuki and Alhaitham died lol. I didn't expect Coppelia to hurt that much but since they were put on 12-3, the hit must be bigger than if they were in 12-1 or 12-2.

I was very nervous during 12-3 first half because grouping the pyro lectors is the key, not to mention there are also Kairagis who you need to take down at the same time, otherwise one of them is gonna recover their health and that will surely spend more of your time.

And that's how my abyss run this waning phase. If you have any question, just shoot away and I'll try my best to answer them!

Thanks fo’ saving my ass (Part 3)

Here is the final installment for these two, and when I say ‘installment’ I mean a teeny less than 3k of pure filth. Hope you like it, if you have any thoughts/comments/requests, I would love to hear them and you can find a link to my other works at the end of the piece. Happy readings xx

You can read these two first:   Part1  &  Part2

The whole walk from Gibson’s to y/n’s apartment is a blur. A nebula of lighthearted giggles, an unrehearsed waltz of grabby hands and tripping feet, all coming to life under the moon’s maternal gaze. Stolen kisses against traffic light posts while waiting for a green light, as though they haven’t been dreaming of a go-ahead for months now. The crisp air wafting through the bare streets collides with their perspiring skins in a drift of goosebumps, but it’s not enough to cool off their blazing desire.

The ride up to her floor heats up to a rhumba of bolder kisses and more adventurous hands that draw out sinful moans from their heaving chests. The buttons on the elevator’s panel  successively light up one after the other but if it weren’t for the final ding announcing their arrival, they’d still be climbing up and down the building, making out like their life depended on it.

Numbed by want and impatience, y/n’s jittery fingers unlock the door, and the sudden slack  created by the unfastened bolt makes their body tumble forward in a clumsy web of limbs. Quickly catching herself with the console table sitting in front of the entrance, y/n finds herself encased by two strong arms each side of her head as Harry stops his own fall against the wall. She can feel the expansion of his chest against her back with every intake of breath he takes, and every soft puffs of his exhalations hitting her neck. The latter are quickly replaced by a trail of spongy kisses traveling across her skin, while his arms move around her waist and across her shoulders.

Y/n’s mind turns in an intoxicating fuzz under his ministrations, "mmm- Harry, I should cl-," her head fall back against his shoulder as diligent lips suck the pleasure out of her skin. Her eyes are squeezed shut, hand slipping through silk locks though she knows there are a few things she needs to tend to before they can lose themselves in mutual bliss. "Shit…I really need to-mmm" she tries to inform him of her intentions but they keep drowning in her moans, "…the door, Harry."

Her insistence only makes him half relent by loosening his hold and letting her walk him backwards until his back meets the front door. Turning around, as soon as she’s facing him, she’s welcomed by a crushing kiss and two hands tenderly cupping her face. Smiling against his pink lips, she makes do of the embrace and blindly works the lock, "done."

The confirmation that they’re safely tucked home is all Harry needs to slip his hands under her thighs and wrap her legs around his waist. He doesn’t go far into the apartment before he’s got her propped against a wall, lips tangled in passion and his hips bucking forward in quest for some relieving friction. The sudden pressure has y/n gasp in his mouth, fingers digging into his biceps over the thick material of his suit. She rids him of the heavy jacket with one quick sweep across his shoulders while he pins their forehead together for a much needed breath, "are y’really not wearin’ anythin’ under that sexy dress?"

His mouth is damp and lazy when he drags them down her neck and across her collarbone, "why don’t you see for yourself." The cheeky response plucks at his lips in amusement, his nose brushing against the skin of her throat in silent acquiescence. He doesn’t waste a second to slide eager fingers up her thighs underneath her skirt, until they’re met with smooth and bare skin. Curiously, the lack of garment is not what widens his eyes and drops his mouth open; that has everything to do with the wetness already coating his fingers. "Christ love, s’almost runnin’ down yo’ thighs."

Y/n whimpers at his gritty words and at the teasing journey of fingers, never quite reaching the root of her sensitivity, "and yet you’re not."

Harry brings his mouth to her ear, taking the cartilage hostage between his teeth, "is that what you want then? My head between your pretty legs?"

"That’d be a good start," y/n quips back against his throat before planting open-mouthed kisses along the skin.

His thumb keeps circling her knot in meticulous feather-like swipes, "mmm I dunno, I kinda wanna bend you over that dinnin’ table right now," he slightly turns his head to gesture towards the small living room. "S’no pool table but I reckon it’ll work jus’ the same." He punctuates the retort with a heavy stroke of his fingers in-between her swollen lips before spreading her arousal up around her clit.

"After," she counters in a whine but her voice weakens as soon as he finally greets her bud with earnest rubs.

The flushed and starving look in her eyes isn’t quite familiar to him yet, but he hopes he’ll be privy to it enough times to have it permanently engraved behind his eyelids. "Suppose I could," he muses as the tip of his finger pets at her entrance, "but do you really deserve it after those stunts you pulled at the bar?" He dips a knuckle or two but withdraws right after, enjoying her soft pants, "had me proper fucked out back there."

Harry watches intently as her face twists with an avalanche of emotions; first, disappointment pulling at her brows, then frustration curling her lips in a pout, before her eyes finally alight with a newfound determination, "I’ll make it worth your while," she purrs against his parted lips.

The syrupy sound of her promise makes his length throb with excitement and earns her a nick at the neck in reprisal. "Ruthless negotiator you are," he rasps out before finally sinking two digits in her heat and curling them against her sweet spot. It is small retribution for all his teasing but if sex were a music, the sound of her moans vibrating in his eardrums would be enough to fill a goddamn orchestra.

Y/n’s thighs clench around Harry’s waist as she grips the hair at the nape of his neck, "handsome please, put those sinful lips on me?" Her plea is followed by damp kisses across his cheeks and underneath his jaw. She may drive a hard bargain, but y/n has never planned to make it easy for him; she doesn’t play to lose, after all.

Harry laughs once at her untamed advances, his head dipping down to rest against her shoulder, "fuck, you make me so weak," he leaves a small peck on the skin under his lips and brings his head back up. "Alright, where d’you want me?"

"Be creative."

She squeals when he lifts her off the wall and starts walking into the living room, the destination clearly having looped in his mind to the point of no return. "That table was really talking to you, huh," y/n chuckles once he finally sets her down on her grey oak dinner table.

"Thought it was only fittin’, I was raised to eat at the table."

Y/n’s nose scrunches and lets a giggle escape her lips at his boyishness, but her laugh quickly vanishes when a hand gently pushes her down to lie down under his fervent gaze. Quickly, he gathers up the skirt of her dress around her waist, and the sight greeting him with a sweet welcome then, makes him hum in gratitude. Harry doesn’t waste a second more to flatten his tongue across her pussy in one bold lick, lips wrapping around her knot and sucking until y/n’s legs flutter under his palms.

Gratified by her response, he brings her quivering limbs on top of his shoulders and dives back with gusto, happy with the more opened angle. While he flicks the tip of his tongue at her sensitive bud, he takes advantage of his newly freed hands by letting one join his oral work and bringing the other over her lower stomach to keep her still.

It’s an overload of stimuli attacking y/n then; two blunt fingers disappearing in her warmth and pumping against its raw spot, swirls of his tongue lapping at her clit in teamwork with the thumb of his hand above. Her chest is covered by a thin film of perspiration, and if she weren’t already teetering the edge of an eden abyss, she’d stop him to take off her dress. But be that as it may, y/n is barely coherent enough to whisper pleases and don’t stops for her to actually suggest otherwise.  

When he feels her clenching for dear life around his fingers, he switches tactics and plunges his wet muscle far inside her, not wanting to miss a drop when the scale of her rapture tips over. It’s a race to her unraveling then, parched licks against her clamping walls while his nose bumps into her engorged bud. But what really sends her spiraling in pleasure is the smacks of his fingers against her throbbing center. After a couple of daunting strikes, y/n’s whole body is seized by ecstasy, back arching from the table, toes curling against his shoulders as she cries out in rhapsody.

Harry is there to catch it all in eager slurps that have her legs and center quivering in oversensitivity, but he doesn’t pull away until she’s tugging at his locks with panting breaths. His lips then pilgrimage their way back to her chest and neck to proffer his adoration against her divine lips. Once he straightens back from his hovering stance, he guides her wobbly body up with him, "fuck c’mere. You okay?"

He doesn’t wait for her answer before dipping for another kiss and letting her have a taste of her own pleasure. Their tongues indulge in a languish stroll before her need for oxygen is too strong ignore, "amazing," she breathes out against his mouth.

"Did so well fo’ me, darlin’." Harry keeps praising her, his own body still reeling from making her lose her wits so intensely. He gives himself a quick squeeze of relief, feeling the material of his boxers moisten as his arousal dribbles from the tip of his length, "fuck, m’so hard."

Y/n quickly takes over by unzipping his suit pants and yanking them down his legs in one swift motion. His shirt his next, and while she plants an array of kisses across his torso, Harry kicks his shoes and pants off his feet. Then there he is. Standing in the middle of her living room, clad in a pair of black boxers with disheveled hair like they’ve already fucked and this is how she finds him the next morning; doe eyes, snooping around for mugs to pour them some coffee.

With a hook of her fingers, his last layer joins the rest of his clothes on the floor and  then it’s her turn to take him in in all his glory. "So pretty, Harry," she purrs against the damp skin of his neck and it remains elusive as to whether she’s talking about him or just his cock. Regardless, her hand wraps around his tender member, the mere graze of skin on skin contact making him hiss in sensitivity.

Her grip tightens the slightest when she starts stroking up and down his shaft, before she edges herself closer to him on the table. Then she slides his length along her soaking folds to spread her residual juices across his skin, "tha’s it love, prep me good." Harry’s eyes roll back in unadulterated bliss when his tip teases her entrance, but he becomes quickly irked at y/n’s dress shrouding the pornographic view.

Without hesitation, he lifts her off the table and unclasps the few pressure buttons holding the dress at her neck. The material unceremoniously drops at her feet and Harry’s knees almost follow suit when he’s met by her fully naked figure. "Jesus, you’re a sight," he exalts in a pained voice, his eyes unable to settle on one curve of hers. His hand reaches up to tenderly cup her breast with his thumb kneading at her nipple while his other smoothes down her ass to grip at the flesh. His cock rests tall between their stomachs and the contact has them both moan in each other mouths.

Y/n’s skin itches to get their core closer together, but before she can wrap a leg around his hip, Harry spins her around and bends her over the table. Just like he said he would. He may drive a hard bargain, but Harry’s always planned to make good on his promise; he’s a man of his word, after all.

He quickly resumes the languid sweeps across her heat, nestling his cock between her drenched lips, "you feel so fuckin’ good already, how s’it inside darlin’?" His eyelids squeeze at the sweet burn tingling at the bottom of his spine, before his hand comes down on her ass in a ring-clad spank. The unexpected move immediately draws a sinful whimper from y/n’s blissed out face and Harry thinks he might finish right there and then on the skin of her back.

"Come on then," y/n taunts him with a look over the shoulder, "take what you want."

He doesn’t need to be told twice before he sinks his swollen shaft inside of her wet core. They both cry out at the feeling of her walls accommodating his girth, Harry’s hand gripping at her hip to prevent her muscles from siphoning his release. Y/n’s forehead drops against the cool table in her own attempt to stave the heat boiling at the pit of her stomach. She’s just orgasmed a few minutes prior but her body is already on the brink of another crashing wave.

The faint roll of her hips against his is all the permission he needs to starts working his hardness in and out of her, bottoming out with added force at every thrust he gives her. "So tight, so wet, fuck, you’re a dream," he can’t help but ramble his desire for her and yell out in pleasure when he delivers another smack to her backside that has her cinch around his cock like a damn vice.

Y/n has to swallow a couple times before words can form on her lips, "Yes. Fuck, you feel so good too. Please don’t stop, Harry," she brings a hand to hold his thigh against the back of hers, as the force of his movements starts rivaling the power behind each of the shots they’d taken back at the pool bar. Even the wood of the table starts mixing noises with their moans and gasps, as the whole room is caught up in a haze of sex and passion.

Both of them start feeling the uncoiling of highly anticipated deliverance, a hint of blitz burgeoning all over their bodies from toenails to the tip of hair. Harry’s lips brush along the skin of y/n back until they reach the nape of her neck where his teeth nip at playfully, "takin’ me so well, love. Are y’close?" The string of filth tumbles from his puffy lips before he can second-guess it, eyes drooping and strides occasionally staggering against her undulating hips.

"So, so close, Harry, you’re gonna make me come so hard," y/n props herself onto her elbows, twisting her head so she can soak up the sight of pure sex pounding at her pussy like his life depends on it. The image is almost to much for her; his eyes pouring fire into hers, the sweat pearling around his flushed face, his tuft of hair bouncing with each of his plunges, his lips beaten red by his own teeth. That’s all it takes to let herself be taken by euphoria as her orgasm implodes from the deepest part of her.

Her release immediate triggers Harry’s, his cock fully sheathed inside her as he delivers more warmth to her heat in several spurts. He collapsed against y/n’s back and buries his face against the back of her shoulder. For the second time tonight, she can feel his quickened heartbeat thumping against her back as he hugs her to his chest.

"Mmm, best sex o’ my life," Harry laughs against her skin before happily pecking it and y/n giggles at his candid sentiment. She absolutely, definitely, a hundred percent, top to bottom,  hands down, agrees with that statement.

The two of them lazily dislodge from one another before treading to her bedroom for a peaceful slumber. The next morning, Harry wakes up to an empty bed but the sheets under his palm are still warm. Begrudgingly, he removes the soft covers from his naked body, pulls up his boxers from the pile of clothes they’d thoughtfully brought back to the room and makes his way towards the living room. His frown immediately softens when his eyes fall on y/n’s figure moving around the kitchen, and is lips extend in the cockiest smirk as soon as he registers the expensive garment draped on her shoulders, "who’s goin’ to pick at my suits f’you start wearin’ them my love?"

The history which remains

*warning, major character death*

Read the rest here

When I was younger, my parents told me that our lives are whatever we make of them; We can either chose to be stepped on and disregarded, or we can become a speaker in front of the masses who make real differences in the world. But the more I grew up, the more I realized that our lives are constantly subject to change, that even if we play every single card exactly the right way, and we make every single hard decision, in the end it doesn’t matter because we all inevitably end up in the same place. My therapist told me to write you this letter, she thinks that somehow being able to talk to you will make the gaping void in my lungs feel barrable. I’m not sure that I believe her. But here we are I guess; nothing left but you and me, and the inescapable history that lies between the two of us. We both messed up, and a part of me doesn’t dare bring it back up because it's finally become the past, but if this is what I have to do, then so be it. Here it is; this is the story I can’t believe I lived through, the story that you never saw the end of, and the one my therapist will never be able to understand.

It all started when we were 16 years old.

Back in those days, I was constantly stuck in my mind, always endlessly worrying about the next science test in hopes of somewhat salvaging my GPA. One day I was running late to my biology course but I had to stop at my locker first because of course, I forgot something. I stood there only half aware of where I was due to the copious amounts of caffeine running through my blood, it’s a miracle that I was standing at all, but there I was; 16 years old and filled with nothing but pure anxiety over a future I never could have predicted. I quickly sorted through my exploding locker, haplessly trying to keep the contents from exploding over the rest of the hallway because I needed to find a pencil. Out of all the things for me to lose, leave it to me to lose the one thing I can’t go on without. To my absolute horror, even my backup locker pencil seemed to be lost in the abyss. I looked around the halls as though searching for a piece of dry land while standing in the middle of the ocean, trying to find anyone I even slightly knew, anyone at all but I was already running late and the hallways were next to empty, well, other than You. There you stood with your perfect hair and blue shoes, your easy smile, and crinkled eyes. Even back then as young as we were, you were always an intimidating force to look at; a mess made of safe arrogance and unwavering confidence that I didn’t understand. I had never seen you look any less than in control, always walking around like some big shot who knew he was going to become something more than the rest of us common folk someday. I couldn’t even hate you for it because I agreed! There was never a doubt in my mind that you weren’t going to do something incredible once you were allowed to get away from our small town, and you did.

For some reason or another, that day you felt me staring at you in the empty halls. Before I could turn back to my spiraling existential panic about my failing grade and missing pencil, you turned to look at me. Before that moment I didn’t realize you knew I existed but there you were, smiling at me as though we had always been playing some secret game only, we knew the rules too. I remember that I foolishly looked behind me, as though trying to find the person that smile was meant for because there was no way it could be for me, but there was no one else. I turned back to my locker quickly, feeling the heat rush to my face as I contemplated trying to squeeze myself into the small space between old lunch meat and used gym clothes in order to avoid having your blue eyes locked on mine. But my pencil was still missing, and I still had a test to fail. So instead of running away, I took a deep breath and found your eyes. It was insane. I tried to think of some impossible story as to why you; a popular and beautiful and smart senior, needed to help me; a boy five seconds away from accepting that I was never going to get out of high school. I thought of stories I could say, something filled with drama and tragedy like the Greeks did that would make you take pity. But then your lip twitched the way It always did before you spoke and the words all died in my throat.

“Can-can I borrow a pencil? I have this test and—”

“Course.” You didn’t let me finish, something that would have annoyed me had I not been so focused on watching the slight gold in your hair turn white with the sun streaming through the door. I felt like we were breaking some unspoken rule about the savage hierarchy of high school; like someone was about to burst through the door and tell me to stay in my own grade, but instead, you reached into your pocket and gave me what I needed as though you had done it a million times, and then left before I could say thank you.

I couldn’t do anything but stand there, watching you walk down the hallway while trying to run my mind over what had just conspired between the two of us. That is until I remembered why I was standing at my locker in the first place and then continued to run to my class with an apology to my instructor already on the tip of my tongue.

After that strange meeting in the hallway, I started to notice you in places I didn’t think existed. Like the way you don’t feel sick until someone points out how pale you are. I realized you and your friends sat in the back of my Bio class, that you and your lab partner had laughed at me while I threw up after having to dissect a pig heart. I watched as you drove past me on your way to school in the morning while I walked in the rain because I wasn’t rich enough to have a car. but most importantly, I saw you walk through the wooden doors on Sunday morning at the church I had grown up in, always wearing an ironed button-up shirt and your clean blue shoes. Somehow, I had always missed your constant presence in my life, but once I realized it, I couldn’t unsee it, even though I desperately wanted to. Even from those early days where I barely knew your name it was the two of us, almost like a mirror for what we would one day become; more importantly who I would become. But even at sixteen, I wanted to know you, although I was far too scared to ever say anything about it. It was almost two months later when we finally spoke again. Through some twisted idea from fate, we had been paired up as lab partners. I'll never forget how nervous I was sitting down in the small space beside you, feeling like Bella in twilight when she sat beside Edward in one of the most dramatic movie scenes ever filmed. But unlike Edward, you thankfully did not try to smell me. I made a pact with myself that no matter how much I wanted to, I would not give you the satisfaction of knowing that the only thing I was thinking about was the way your eyebrows drew together when you listened to the teacher talk. Instead, I tried to write notes on the human body as my hands shook hard enough that even I could barely make out a word.

“Your name is Alexander, right?” You said once the class was getting ready to leave, your voice was deep but certain. I doodled on the sheet of notes I had given up on.

“Yeah, but—but everyone calls me Alec.”

“Alright,” I wanted to punch myself when I felt my face heat up at having your attention on me, but the way you said my name was unlike the way anyone else had ever said it before, and to this very day unlike how anyone has ever said It again.

“I'm Magnus,” You said, giving me your most charming smile which I’m sure worked on everyone back then.

“I know.” I considered throwing myself off the stool as the words came out without my mind's permission, it was not what I wanted to say. Of course, I knew your name, everyone knew your name. Magnus Bane, the perfect child who teachers loved to hate and every student wanted to be with. I said the name over and over again in my mind, trying to get used to the way the words felt in my mouth while trying to find something to say that would make you realize I wasn’t a stalker.

“It’s—your lab book—” I pointed to the book on the table in Infront of us that luckily, did in fact have your name scribbled on the top of it. You nodded your head in understanding but the smile on your face made me doubt whether or not you believed it.

“Right, sure.” I was, quite literally saved by the bell that rung loudly above us. The class moves around to get out of the dreaded classroom as soon as they possibly could, all except you. Instead, you sat there as though waiting to say something else, something that was profoundly going to change the course of our lives. In some ways you did, even if we didn’t know it yet.

“See you around, Alec.” You said before getting up, leaving me wondering how on earth I was ever going to pass this class with you sitting beside me.
