WARNINGS: POLICE ACTIVITY

___

1914

WATERY Lane was a tip.

The street was notorious for being constantly raided by the police.

Most houses were trashed, items taken or broken just by the coppers claiming they were doing their job.

Eden spent most of her day restoring her home with her parents who insisted she went to work instead, but she couldn't just leave them to deal with the mess. She heard the same thing happen to the Jesus' and the Shelbys. the Dawkins lived in a two-bedroom house and it was small as hell. Eden practically lived in a shoe box, but she was grateful and at least her parents hadn't kicked her out. Luckily her mother's jewellery and anything they valued, birth certificates, passports, spare cash and diaries were all under the floorboards.

"'Saiah is out playin' with Finn," she told her mum, "I sent them away so they wouldn't see much. Isaiah said he was scared the last time."

"Little man would be scared, hell, I panicked this time. But he needs to know somethin', his favourite toy got snatched," Cecil punched the bridge of his nose.

Celestine let a soft gasp, "The toy soldier he doesn't stop raving 'bout?"

"I brought him that for his fifth birthday... suppose I should tell 'im?" Eden winced at the thought of him crying.

Her mum nodded, "Gonna have to, he sleeps with that thing."

Sighing, she took her key, "I'll go and find the boys, you sure you don't need any help?"

Cecil mustered up a smile, "Go on Edie, you missed out on a good day's wage, Lucky me and your mum had the day off."

—

"Tom, Tommy listen, calm the fuck down," Arthur's hoarse voice boomed, trailing after his brother as they rushed through their home.

Tommy rarely let anyone know what he was thinking but his face was a picture.

If John weren't angry as well he would've laughed.

"Ay? Calm the fuck down?" Tommy barked, just before Arthur pushed him down onto the couch. John was quick to join him.

Polly walked in, cigarette in hand, tired from clearing up the house and hiding any money earned from the betting shop.

"We all know you're angry Thomas, we all are. Mrs Granberry was raided and I swore I could hear her voice from a couple of streets away."

The Shelbys couldn't stand that woman, even going as far as to groan at every mention of her name.

"Martha just put Katie down for a nap, don't be waking her up, the coppers scared her enough," John spat, gesturing upstairs, moving the toothpick from his mouth.

"They tore through Ada's dresses too, poor girl's cryin' and won't come out of her room."

"They broke down the Dawkin's door," Tommy stressed, reaching for the smoke Arthur offered him, "and Eden – fuck!"

"Tommy," John smacked his chest, irritated that his daughter might wake and his with could come downstairs, "she's alright, she told me –"

"--And what did she tell you, ey, matter of fact when did you see her?"

Polly rolled her eyes at his obvious jealousy, even Arthur tried to conceal his amusement. They all knew that John and Eden's friendship was purely platonic, but then again very little swayed the Shelby brother from his poor wife.

"--after it happened, me and Martha went by," John felt Tommy's glare go from him to their aunt.

"You what? You said none of us could leave."

One look from Polly made the brothers tense, Tommy was in for it now.

"You better watch your tone, Thomas Michael Shelby," she warned, jabbing the cigarette in his direction, making him huff and turn away, "I don't know who you're speaking to but it's not me. I know you're angry, we can feel it, hell the bloody king probably can from his palace. I told you not to leave this house –"

"Finn's out," John blurted out, but Polly didn't seem to be phased, she knows, Tommy thought, she always fucking knows.

"Where's Finn?" Arthur wondered aloud.

"With Isaiah, troublemakers never stay in one place," Polly remarked, "and they're kids, they shouldn't be here for this." Taking a drag, she turned back to a frustrated Tommy, who ran his hands through his hair, "Look, Tommy, you can go when we know how to deal with the problem at hand."

"And what problem is that Pol?" he asked, instantly earning another glare due to his sarcasm, "The coppers will keep comin' at us, time and time again."

"If only we pay them off, get them on our books," John said, shrugging at the looks he received.

"With what money John boy?" Arthur retorted, getting up, hankering for a drink. "But's the idea ain't half bad, the fuckers will leave half of the street alone if we could."

"You were correct with the first half of what you said Arthur," Polly said, rolling her eyes, but that just made Tommy think.

"We don't fuck with no coppers, and the coppers don't fuck with us, well unless..." John trailed off when he received a deadpanned look from Tommy.

"Well they'll fuck with us if we bribe them, what d'ya say Tom?" Arthur turned to his brother who hadn't said a word in a minute.

Tommy was silent but knew what had to be done, somehow they would get around the books, it might take years, or months if they were lucky, but only if they had minimal obstacles and Small Heath but that was like asking for a pig to fly.

One day he and his family were gonna ensure the police looked the other way.

And that they won't fuck with the Peaky Blinders or their women.

—

Eden kept thinking that she needed to learn how to use a gun... properly.

Sure she shot at bottles out by the cut or under the canals many times, but she was a bad shot.

And that was a known fact.

Hell, even Finn and Isaiah knew that and they were five.

"Why do we have to come back? We weren't doing nought," Finn moaned, as Eden held his and her cousin's hand.

"You're aunt's gonna kill me if she finds out you were looking for bullets by the cut, what were you lot thinkin'?"

"Dunno, it's fun," Isaiah replied, grinning, making Finn giggle.

Eden cursed, "I need to get you home."

"Why? Sun's still out," Isaiah pointed to the big misleading star. It was freezing, January weather was nothing to play with.

"And? I said I'm taking you home, so I'm taking you home."

The boys exchanged cautious looks.

When Eden was serious and stern, it scared them.

But not as much as Polly, never as much as her.

So they started asking questions.

"Why did we have to leave the house today?" Isaiah asked.

Finn then added, "And why was the street a tip?"

"Arthur said something to do with a raid... what's a raid?"

"And why does it happen every month?"

Finn kept staring at Eden as they walked, "Yeah? Why can't my brothers scare them off?"

"They're big," Isaiah agreed.

"And strong. Especially, Arthur, he's the biggest." Finn knew that Curly and Charlie would help them, even the other Romani travellers like the Lees had the potential to chip in if they stayed in one place long enough.

Isaiah objected, "Well... not if you count the 'Gretta's," he said, mispronouncing the Changretta name.

Finn gasped, "Yeah, why didn't your friend that Tommy hates, stop this Edie?"

"Boys," Eden hushed them and brought them in front of her, she kneeled so she was levelled their innocent faces, "You're right Finny, your brothers are the strongest people I know... apart from my dad of course," the boys snickered at that, "but some things are beyond their control, especially in this town. I let you guys play around today so you can stay away from all of this...mess but I know you see it, it's all 'round us, so I know I can't hide you from it for much longer. So when you get home today, just be happy that you can still get up to no good from time to time alright?"

"Alright Edie," they agreed, still not understanding much but still they were big boys in their minds.

"And when I drop Finn off, 'Saiah there's something else you need to know okay?"

Frowning instantly, Isaiah hesitated with his response, but still, he nodded.

"Good, let's go, don't want to run into Mrs Granberry."

And by the looks on their faces, no they did not.

Eden dropped their hands and let them walk ahead.

"My cousin likes your brother," Isaiah whispered to her best friend.

Finn tried to cover his giggles with his hands, "They kiss a lot."

"Does your brother know you like my cousin?"

"Shut up Issy."

a/n:

anyone notice they gave tommy and john the same middle name in the show? perhaps it was to show that polly had such an impact when raising them or the fact she missed her kids so dearly, or maybe it was a mistake, but i just find it hilarious.

thought to right in some of the policing in birmingham, especially the poorest areas, which were commonly occupied by bipocs.

i would also like to ask, if anyone feels uncomfortable with the g word that is commonly referred to travellers, and if they would like me to replace it whenever I write. (I don't wish to offend anyone). in the show, pretty much all characters reference it but i just wanted to be sure no one had any objections.

atsumu x male reader

summary: f/n is in love with atsumu. atsumu has a girlfriend.

cw: f/n means first name, angst i guess, incomplete(?)

every day, f/n thought the same thing.

i love you.

i love you.

i love you...!

he knew he'd would never be able to say it. in fact, he would probably look at f/n disgusted if he ever found out he loved him. f/n wished he didnt.

—

"oi f/n!" f/n could hear atsumu shouting towards him from a little distance, as well as his twin mumbling something, though he could only see his mouth moving and without some impressive lip-reading skills, f/n could only barely guess he was scolding atsumu for being so loud. not that 'tsumu cared, anyway.

f/n waved slightly, not wanting to gain any more attention than he already had on him due to one of the famous miya twins screaming hi. when they reached him, astumu sat beside f/n, pressed together on the semi uncomfortable seats of the bus stops. "ya seem off. what'cha thinking 'bout?" f/n shook his head and looked down at the phone in your hand. it wasnt on and he wouldnt dare turn it on while the screen was right in his field of vision.

"i'm still so fucking tired. didnt sleep well." even if that wasn't the real reason he was off, f/n did in fact not sleep well the night before. then again, he often didnt sleep well because of the many overwhelming thoughts plaguing his mind. this time osamu replied, "same. couldn't get my eyes closed once, this dumbass was on his phone all night talking with some girl." "ya said yer wouldnt tell no one!!" osamu shrugged.

suddenly, f/n's mood sank even further down the drain. "you have a girlfriend or something?" f/n tried to put on a teasing smile to mask his disappointment, not sure of it working. the twins didnt notice, atsumu already started talking about that girl and osamu was on his phone, ignoring his brother. "well i guess it doesnt matter since 'samu already told ya. her name is aoi, she's like-" f/n tuned out the rest.

f/n moved his phone in a way that atsumu couldnt see what was on the screen. f/n always wanted to buy one of those screen protectors that hide your screen from the side angles, but in the end he didnt want to spend 15 dollars on some foil he sticks onto his phone. once his phone was completely out of atsumus view and he turned it on, what he was greeted with was a picture of the man himself. no, not a picture of f/n with atsumu, just atsumu.

f/n wasn't sure why, but he remembers the exact moment of taking this picture. it was just when practice was done; atsumu was still wearing his sports clothes. he was talking with his brother (who f/n cropped out – sorry 'samu!) and had the prettiest smile on his face.

no, really. that had to be the most beautiful thing f/n has ever seen.

so, f/n made that his lock screen. normally, this would've been what motivated him for the day, but right now it only seemed depressing. he was so close, but so out of reach.

he quickly unlocked his phone, going on inarizaki's website to check what subjects he would have today. he knew he had school until four and had to come to practice, but he was feeling nauseous just thinking about going there. this morning i was feeling just fine. why couldnt he just shut up? with the amount of force he was holding his phone with, there should've been a crack.

—

when lunch break finally came around, f/n hadnt gotten the events of that morning out of his head. yeah, normally he'd be overthinking stuff too, but the fact that atsumu had a girl he liked made him want to cry. or rip something apart.

when did atsumu even start liking girls? from what f/n knew, 'tsumu treated girls like shit. from the confessions under cherry blossom trees to fangirls at his games, he always hated them. what made him change his mind? part of f/n wanted to think the girl used some sort of love potion on atsumu, but then again, he didnt want to blame the girl.

it wasnt her fault after all.

well, maybe they just clicked. f/n wanted to laugh. he and atsumu clicked. but not in the same way, apparently. lost in his thoughts, f/n wasnt aware that he was the only one left in his classroom except for the twins. "you good?" f/n wanted to answer 'nah' just to match atsumus energy, but he couldnt get himself to do that.

instead, he shook his head. "it's fine."

f/n didnt take his lunch with him.

—

f/n dreaded what came after school. during lunch, atsumu kept talking about his girlfriend and no matter how hard he tried to drown his voice out, it didnt work. the only time where f/n wouldnt be caught up in his thoughts was in class when he was taking notes, but his my melody pencil he got from atsumu a few months ago kept trying to tear his thoughts away from school. just great!

after school activities. f/n had never wanted to skip practice this bad. the whole day - aoi this, girlfriend that - sure, f/n was happy for atsumu, but then again he was not. he wouldnt be able to deal with another two hours of atsumu bragging and talking about that girl.

f/n held his stomach in an uncomfortable way, trying to signalise that he had a bellyache, even if he didnt. osamu noticed, "are yer fine f/n? somethin' wrong with yer stomach?" f/n nodded, and explained how he mustve eaten something wrong. atsumu and osamu guaranteed him that they would tell the team about his predicament and he could go home early.

as soon as they were both out of sight, he let go of his stomach to get out of the hunching, uncomfortable position. nothing hurt, except for f/ns aching thoughts.

One Piece Chapter 1023 - Initial Thoughts

15 Minutes is on the clock

Onigashima reaches the mainland and the fights continue on. Including the Wings of the King vs the Disasters of the Beast

Without further ado, let's get into it

Spoilers for Chapter 1023, Support the Official Release too

Vivi cover page is nice, proper Disney Princess action with Karoo being jealous birb again, but now I have worries because last we heard something went down with Alabasta...all those post-Reverie questions

Back to where we left off with the boys being back in town

Miyagi can you not ominously foreshadow Zoro's future pain please?

Kawamatsu's here to save Zoro from interference, and Hyou's telling the Yakuza not to get in the way of this fight

Marco though is a pensive Pineapple, taking a good long look at King as he recalls Whitebeard telling him about King's race living on the Red Line before the world nobles, Void Century and before stuff

Mention of Gods does fuel one of my old post fan theories, but also fuels that the WG kicked King's race out of the Red Line

Izo though out here saving Marco from being an easy target, tbh Marineford did show he was prone to a surprise attack

Asking Izo if they believe in God though in a raid that may lead to their deaths is kinda irreverent right now though huh?

Queen back to hyping themselves up though

Hm? Is there a limitation to Sanji's raid suit? Sanji's saying he feels weird

Zoro wasting no time to banter with it though, saving Sanji from King as Sanji returns the favour with Queen

Queen does make a valid point though, as much as Sanji expresses that he is unenhanced by Germa he can also set himself on fire, I do wonder if it is just part of that enhancement in there that he expresses as his 'fiery hot passion'

Lunarian though, that must be King's species' name: moon people again I bet which feeds my fan theories

Also since we mentioned Germa again what happened to them? Jimbei made it out after all and I wanna see me some alive and well Baeju

I would issue doubt on Queen's claim that their enhancements are beyond Vegapunk's, given how little we know of Vegapunk after all

King's got a special sword too, it can change its edge to be teethy which he used to ensnare Zoro's swords

Wado saves Zoro's face from eating King's spiked fist though

King does make a fair point though, traditional weapons are romanticized but a fight's about getting every advantage you can, Zoro at least respects that since King never claimed to be a Swordsman, while also reminding King that he could be a feral bastard too

Kinda gave me mini Mr. 1 fight vibes there

Oh here we go, potential Zoro lineage time

Kawamatsu and Hyou muse over how Zoro was like Ushimaru when he was young, even down to his style (though that could be more Shimotsuki Koushiro's doing since he's Zoro's master)

Also Ushimaru was Ryuma's direct descendant, which means that 1. Ryuma banged, 2. Swordsmanship runs in the blood and 3. Ryuma banged

Also Ryuma also had the one eye, and it does seem pretty mythical that a swordsman of similar skill and stature returns Shusui back to Wano (even though this should mean that Shusui would be Zoro's birthright and he was kinda forced into relinquishing it)

Also worth reminding that Kozaburo was Kuina's grandpa so there may only be loose relations if Zoro is a Shimotsuki too, we don't exactly know how Kozaburo and Ushimaru are related if it's by blood or clan, plus I still wonder about Tashigi

Over to Jack vs Inu though, and Jack's hybrid form is just...weird

I did not need to see an Elephant head with abs you know Oda!

Both are pretty tired, as Jack mocks Inu saying he has forgiven Zou for the Raizo stuff, since he already destroyed most of it

Inu though with the shoulder toss, reminding Jack that they had to make these sacrifices to get to here

But we're getting the epic speech, and the hole in the roof caused by Ashura's sacrifice is changing Inu back into Su Long

Same thing is happening with Neko, turning Su Long in front of Carrot and Wanda (who I guess are covering from the moon) as he stares down Perospero

And I'm glad Neko's pointing out that Pedro's sacrifice is valid. I truthfully always felt a bit iffy about people saying that Carrot's desire to avenge Pedro was ill-found because 'Pedro killed himself'. Had Pedro not sacrificed himself then Brook and Chopper would've been dead by candy and Big Mom would've obliterated the rest on the ship

Raizo and Megaforehead though prelude with the mention of maturity, that everyone - even the Akazaya - needed time to mature into who they wanted to be

Down to the surface though and the Heart Pirates are on high alert/panic, they think Kaido's here

But it's Momo, and he looks magnificent

Shinobu's aged him up to 28, the age he'd be had he not been leapt through time, but now she's upset he looks like Kaido

There's new fire in Momo's eyes though, the return ascent begins!

Can you feel that? It feels like the last stretch before the ultimate battle of Wano

Sanji and Zoro vs King and Queen hopefully will remain a tag bout, but I am curious as to King's abilities and what's affecting Sanji in terms of the raid suit. It's not bad to have a limitation but this is the first we've heard of it after seeing him use it 4 times. I don't hate Zoro being a Shimotsuki, though I do feel like we could've built to this, plus we're still lacking in the how.

One wonders what role Marco will now play, and whether Tiny Tiny Chopper is due to recover. We haven't heard from the others for a bit, nor CP0 nor Yamato. Our Pineapple does have unfinished business with Edward Weevil tbf so he could make it out, Izo may be a variable in that, they've yet to learn of Kiku's fate.

Also we never did see who that mystery person was did we? Still could be Hiyori

Marco's musing about gods does feel like we're gonna get more about King, and more lore of the world that Robin will love to soak up like a sponge, Oda have been leaving these seeds since Skypeia, and where there are Gods, there are Devils.

We are however getting major death flags from the minks, one last turn to Su Long to enable their efforts. I like how Ashura's sacrifice is not in vain because of this though, it makes me wonder if there's a slither of hope for Kin and Kiku. If anything though the minks will die from exhaustion rather than being defeated, Su Long eats away at you after all, it's probably gonna be traumatizing for Carrot a little but I hope we see some resolve out of her more like when she was in Zou and WCI, I still want her for Nakama.

And then the final coup de grace, giant dragon Momo, it's one hell of a panel and it means we're bringing Luffy back into the fight. But the extent of Momo's ripening is only in body remember, in mind he's still young. But now we have the setup for the final fight between Luffy and Kaido, I'll expect in that time we'll have to try and finish off everything else with the Akazaya, reconvening the Straw Hats, King, Queen, Big Mom, Kid, Law, Killer, Hawkins, Apoo and Drake.

Act's not over yet, less than 15 minutes until Onigashima Falls.

Stay - Crowley x Reader

Requested byyyyyyyYyyyYyy: @xxplantaestheticsxx

Hello me again could I request a clingy Crowley x reader and please make it really fluffy

You bet I can!

Also, I'm sure most of you have realised that I keep things gender neutral unless otherwise stated in the request, so if you want the reader to be Female or Male or so on, you might wanna mention it. I'm just trying to be all inclusive, because as a smol trans bean, I understand the struggles :)

Fluffy Crowley is like...b e s t

If someone ever called Crowley soft, he would probably miracle them back into the 15th century. After all, soft was a four letter word, and he hated that. The fact that someone had the nerve to describe him with a four letter word was horrendous to him. The nerve of it!

Although, even if it hadn't been a four letter word, he would've gotten annoyed. He was not soft, not at all. No way was he ever soft, and he never would be. Even if he hung out with an angel and a human almost every day, he would not ever be soft. Or so he told himself, but it was a lie.

Y/N knew that Crowley was lying when he said he wasn't soft. It was such a obvious lie to anyone who really knew him, but every time Y/N brought it up, Crowley would hiss, and dismiss the accusation, with an annoyed "I'm not soft!". Aziraphale and Y/N both found it highly amusing.

He was, very clearly, a lot nicer that he made out he was, actually, after all, he once ended up taking a baby bird that had fallen from it's nest home to raise it. He was convinced that Aziraphale and Y/N didn't know, actually, but they did. They weren't going to tell him though.

And then Y/N and Crowley started dating, and Y/N got to see a whole different side of Crowley. He was a Demon, so sensing negativity was second nature to him, and once he even got the slightest hint of negativeness from Y/N, he would be at their side, concerned, and ready to hug.

Or maybe he'd be ready to deal some damage to whoever caused Y/N to feel like that. He would, and he wouldn't hesitate. Both Y/N and Aziraphale knew that, so they usually refrained from telling Crowley whenever someone did something that wasn't exactly...good to them.

Anyway, Y/N and Crowley ended up keeping the bird. It was, quite ironically, a Crow, and Y/N made sure that Crowley knew, mentioning it whenever they had a chance. It was rather amusing, actually. They both agreed to name it Jason, as a nod to the mythology that Y/N was fond of.

There had actually been times where Y/N had found Crowley, sat in his throne, with Jason perched on his shoulder. Crowley would be feeding the Crow, and gently petting him, and Y/N would fall just that little bit more in love.

That's all it took, really. Y/N had been close with Crowley for hundreds of years, Y/N was a Demon, not that it mattered because hell just didn't bother. Y/N was too wild, too fast, and too smart for them to keep up.

But seeing Crowley being...soft to an animal (it had been a snake the first time, unsurprisingly) was all it really took for Y/N to completely fall, in all sense of the word. Y/N had once been an angel, and Y/N had once fell. Crowley would say that Y/N had danced while falling, because Y/N was graceful. Sometimes.

All it took for Crowley to fall was seeing Y/N tending to his plants one day. He had recently got a Dendrobium, also known as a Spring Dream, and it wasn't growing too well. Y/N had decided that it needed a little more affection, and had actually sat down, with the plant, and talked to it soothingly, with soft words of encouragement. "You can do it, come on little guy, you gotta grow big and strong and he won't do a thing, I promise. Can you do that?" They had cooed, in a voice so melodic that it belonged in heaven.

Well, it had, but those times were long past.

Sometimes Crowley got a little...lonely.

He wouldn't admit it, but sometimes he just wanted affection, love, even. Being a Demon wasn't easy, especially if you were...somewhat cling once knowing someone properly. Crowley had to deal with that though. He would have to deal with fleeting glances, small touches, and one night bouts of passion.

After all, he was a Demon. He didn't need anyone.

But then he did. He didn't want meaningless touches, he just wanted to be loved, to be wanted, to be needed. So when Y/N and him finally got together, he was secretly partying.

They would sit together on a couch, one Crowley had miracled into his flat, and they would be impossibly close, heads resting on each other, hands intertwined, bodies tangled, because they both wanted to be loved.

Sometimes he got a little bit needy,or clingy. Y/N had told Crowley over and over that if he ever needed something, just go get 'em, even if they were sleeping. It's not like Y/N really needed the sleep, it was just nice.

So when Crowley got clingy, he'd clamber into bed with Y/N, and Y/N would wrap him up in long arms, and silky wings, and if they weren't sleeping, they'd both just lie on the couch, listening to the sound of the other's breathing, and if they were outside they'd listen to the soothing chirping of the birds.

Crowley wouldn't admit that he was soft, but he was.

Wishes and Regrets // Levi x Reader

"Mommy, let's go over there!"

"Hey mom, how about we pick that?"

"Mama! Mama! We have to hurry!"

Laughter, squeals of many children were heard around the marketing place of the walls. Levi's eyes landed on those fortunate souls who still had their mother's with them.

"You're abnormally quiet." You nudged his arm when you saw him staring at a woman smiling down at her son. You smiled at the scene you both were witnessing, but your smile faded when you looked back into his eyes. Longing and despair was written all over his features.

You knew it pained your husband dearly to see those who had parents, more specifically a mother by their side. Not knowing who his father was, and slowly watching his mother bedridden til death engulfed her left an empty hole in heart. One you knew you cannot fill.

"Come on, we have the food we needed, lets head home." Hearing him sigh, he averted his gaze back to at you and nodded and proceeded walking by your side. On the way back to HQ you noticed that every children and mothers are active today. It clicked in your head now fully knowing the event was,

Mother's Day.

It was no wonder why Levi had said he'd prefer to stay in his office and just buy food the next day earlier. Erwin did say Levi hated this certain event, let alone a sensitive topic for him.

"Hey." You called out to him. He looked down a little, since you were shorter than him. "When we get back, we can always build a fort and sleep all day together with (c/n). How bout that?" You suggested, trying to lighten up his day.

"That would be nice." He gave you a small smile. But then he frowned.

"What?"

"I forgot to clean the damn floor."

- time skip back to HQ -

Finally, Lunch was served. Since it was Mother's Day, it was considered as a celebration, leading the mess hall to prepare a different, but delicious meal rather than the same old soup, bread and water.

"Waaaahh— this is so good!!" Sasha squealed, gobbling down on her food with tears of joy streaming down her face. You giggled as you watched her actions from the other side of the hall, and started eating yours as well.

"Thank the Gods they spiced things up! I was getting tired of the damn soup being all cold." Hanji said through her mouth filled with food. Your husband clicked his tongue at how disgusting and manner less the scientist was and scolded her for talking with food in her mouth. All was going well until—

"Is my son here?"

"Oh, Sander!"

"My, my look at you dear! You've grown up!"

"I brought you your favorite meal, Jean."

Some of the scouts mothers were in the mess halls as their children ran to them and greeting them.

"Tch." your head spun to your husband, and grew worried when you saw his face hardening and his eyebrows furrowing more than usual. Reaching out to grasp his hand, he slammed both his hands onto the wooden table, causing you and Hanji to flinch and everyone's chatter to quiet down and look at him strangely, while some in fear.

"Levi—"

"I'm going to bed."

His hard footsteps echoed as he made his exit out of the mess hall. Muttering a few curses along the way, you caught up to him. Levi, not even bothering to acknowledge your presence as the both of you entered his domain with a hard slam on the door.

His office was upgraded a lot bigger after the both of you got married and had your baby. "Levi." You said following him as he walked passed the crib your baby was currently sleeping on— who was now crying after the loud noise that disturbed your child.

"Levi, please talk to me. Come on we have the whole day, why not instead—"

"Will you for once shut the fuck up, (Y/n)?" You flinched at his harsh tone. "This day has been shitty and I don't need another one of your idiotic plans to make me feel better." You felt your heart shatter as he spoke with venom laced to his tone.

(c/n)'s cries began to grow louder as Levi clicked his tongue in annoyance. Your eyes widened with tears when you heard him, "Dammit will you get the brat out of here and leave me alone!?" he yelled before slamming the door to your shared bedroom to regain his composure. You were left out, crying before picking up your baby to soothe the cries from the both of you.

Meanwhile inside the room, seated on the edge of the bed with both hands pressed on his forehead, was Levi in all his glory, crying.

"I wish you were here..."

A loud knock disturbed the raven haired male's slumber as he groans. "Yo, Levi! Get up, it's time for training!" Hanji yelled from the other side. Not bothering to open his eyes or answer back he shifted his spot in bed. "Stupid shitty glasses." he cursed from his breath.

"Now that isn't polite of you, Levi." a velvet like voice said. Levi's eyes were opened in a second he heard her voice. It couldn't be.

"I told him Mrs. Ackerman! I really did!" Hanji, who was finally let inside his room said. Levi sat up in shock, he slowly raised his head to see if what he heard was, the owner of that voice was real.

Smiling at the man, "I know you did dear, he was so out of it I had to reposition him in bed! And how many times have I told you to call me Kuchel? I don't need formalities." The woman laughed lightly.

In a blink of an eye, the woman Kuchel was taken aback from the sudden weight that was hugging her. "Y-you're real.." Levi gulped and cried silently in his mother's neck.

"I'll leave you, uh, to it?" Hanji said rather awkwardly before walking out of the room, leaving the two Ackermans. "Levi, you're acting up again dear. Was it another dream?" Kuchel cupped both of his cheeks, tenderly wiping out the tears that were pouring from her son's eyes.

"Y-you.." No words would come out of his mouth. That was out of his character to do so. But how could he when she, his mother, was standing right in front of him, and her holding him. He can feel everything. It was real. She was real.

Kuchel smiled, "I'm sure Commander Erwin wouldn't mind if you spent the day with me. After all, some of your scouts are out celebrating Mother's Day." pulling away from the hug, "You sit back down on bed, Levi dear, I'll go make us some tea." Nodding and almost immediately following his mother's request like the obedient child he was.

While Kuchel was out, he hadn't at all let everything sink in. How was she here? He saw her die right before his eyes when he was a child. Could it be that it was all a horrible nightmare he just woke up from? Everything seemed so real. Everything seemed so perfectly in place, he thought.

Everything, except..

"I made your favorite." Snapping from his thoughts, the aroma of tea spreading across the room flagrantly, Kuchel sat on the edge of the bed, gently sipping the tea. Levi smiled, finally picking up his, inhaling the scent of the tea softly before taking a sip. Kuchel watched her son when an idea popped from her head, "Why don't you and I go out the city and celebrate?" she suggested, a glimmer of excitement shone through her steel orbs, much like Levi's. "It would be adventurous, don't you think Levi?" she exclaimed, now holding his free hand.

Levi never saw the sight of his own mother being all excited and child like. But if he had to be honest, he'd rather see this than not at all. Setting down his tea, he flashed her a smile. A real smile.

"Of course. Let's go, mom."

Finally outside the city again, Levi never felt so alive and happy. Strolling around with his mother was like heaven for him. They went to random shops just window shopping at things that would interest them both, talk about the how lousy the scouts were, how Erwin was pushing his buttons and how pestering Hanji was at times. Enjoying the sweet laughter of his mother, and radiant aura, he couldn't be more happier. As if all his problems and worries had melted away just by being with his beloved mother.

"Oh my, city is rather crowded today. Don't you think, dear?" Kuchel commented, her eyes gazing to all those with their families. Levi hummed in agreement. Kuchel then suddenly stops, as she looks at the family of three. Levi stops and gazes at what his mother was as well. A child in between a couple underneath a tree just adoring the flower field and laughing happily. A soft sigh was heard from Kuchel, "My, how endearing they are." Levi's mouth was slightly opened as he continues to watch. Looking at her son she said, "I hope one day you'd have a family of your own, Levi. Wouldn't that be pleasant?" She smiled. Levi gasped. (Y/n), how could he forget, he didn't see her the entire day after yelling at her. He then remembered not seeing the crib he and her had set up for their baby. Speaking of, where were they both?

But...then again... How was his mother..

Seeing the distress look on his face, Kuchel frowned, "Is everything alright, Levi?" she touched his arm. "(Y/n)..." He said. She looked at him in confusion. "I'm sorry sweetheart, who is that?" She questioned. Levi met his mother's eyes. "(Y-y/n), my wife. You know her... Right?" Levi gulped, but paled at her answer.

"Dear, you were never married."

Rushing back to HQ, Levi spotted Hanji and ran towards her. "Oi, shitty glasses!" he barked. "Levi, language." Kuchel scolded.

"I see you were with her, no wonder why you weren't here! Erwin was about to fuss when—"

"Where's (Y/n)?"

Hanji blinked, "Eh? Who?" Levi grew annoyed, "(Y/n) (L/n)! My wife! You were friends goddammit don't act so dense four eyes now's not the time! And where's (c/n)?" Levi was now anxious. His family, he has forgotten about his family and now everyone seemed to forget they ever existed.

"Levi, you never had a wife. If you did everyone would've know. And (c/n)? You never had a baby nor settled." Hanji's brows furrowed as she sweat dropped looking at Levi, who was unusually like this.

He then remembered.

He wished for this.

No he longed for this. For his mother. He never believed in myths or stories about these, but now he did. Feeling his heart sink, he got on his knees as Hanji and Kuchel gasped, kneeling down to assist him.

He wanted this, but he lost the the ones that he's loved deeply. His (Y/n), his wife, his baby. Foolish of him, he thought bitterly. How cruel of the world not by only taking away one person he's held deeply in his heart, but two. What's worse is the fight they had was yet to be resolved.

"I'll take it from here, Hanji. Don't worry." Kuchel said, looking at Levi. "Are you sure? He's not himself."

"I'm sure. He's just out of it." With a nod, Hanji left the two yet again. Shifting in front of him, Kuchel grasped both his hands, soothingly caressing his hands. "Mom.." He spoke.

"What is it, dear?"

"You're not real...aren't you?"

Awaiting for her answer, Levi broke down into tears. "Y-you aren't....if you were, then..." Looking up, feeling Kuchel's heart bream when she saw her son break down into more tears. "Then my family isn't...that's the consequence... That's what I get for wishing you were here!.." Levi cried, head bowing down to his mother's lap.

"I've been selfish... Forgive me mother.." his body shook widely as he soaked his mother's white dress. "Oh Levi.." she spoked hugging his head while stroking his raven hair. "I did hear your wish..." she whispered. "The longing and desperate soul of yours..that's why I'm here.." she explained. "However, that young woman.. And baby...I'm sorry, Levi.."

"You'd wanted to be with me..but what about them, hm?" Kuchel asked, feeling Levi grip her dress until his knuckles were white.

"Mother..."

"I love you, Levi. Never forget that I'm always going to be here now and forever.." she hugged his head tighter, closing her eyes as she cherished the feeling of her child once more.

Gasping awake, Levi's body shot upward from bed. Looking around the dark room, taking in deep breaths, he exhaled. Was it all really a dream? Or had his mother escort him to his room?

"(Y/n).." Throwing both legs out of bed he ran out of the shared room to outside of his office. He looked around to find his one and only wife and child. No where. The night sky wasn't helping as well since it was dark in and out of HQ. Christ, how long was he out?

Levi panted, clenching his jaw tightly as he felt hopeless for the first time. He had truly lost everything. Teardrops fell onto the wooden floor until he heard cooing from the mess hall. He spotted the door crack opened a bit. Going closer he had never cried harder than before.

There, seated at the table he was on, sat the one and only (Y/n), in her arms was his precious baby, (c/n).

Hearing the door creak open, you stopped playing with your child and saw your husband, disheveled and eyes fresh with tears. "Levi." You said, worried why was he like that. "Are you, oh?" You stopped feeling him hugging you tighter, his face nuzzling into the crook of your neck.

"Levi?"

"You're here....you're here..." he cried.

Hearing your baby whine in your arms, Levi chocked a chuckled, gently scooping the child off your arms and nuzzling into the baby's face.

"(c/n)... My precious baby..." he smiled, eyes closed as tears fall from the corner of his eyes. Pulling you into his chest using his other arm, Levi held you both tightly.

"I'm sorry.. I'm so sorry.." He whispered, you wrapped your arms around his torso as you laid your head into his chest, "It's okay, Levi. I'm sorry too.. I didn't help much, instead I just pushed your buttons." You whispered, closing your eyes finding his heartbeat soothing, enough for you to sleep at any moment.

"Don't you fucking apologize. You didn't do anything wrong. I was being shitty. I'm sorry.." Levi said bitterly, hugging you both in his arms, afraid he'd lose the both of you again.

"We have really got to work on your language barrier, love." You giggled, kissing his lips lovingly, happily feeling him kiss back. Now this was real, he thought, kissing you more roughly, until you needed to breathe.

"You haven't told me why you're crying." You panted, lips swollen from his sudden roughness.

"It was nothing." Pecking you both affectionately on the forehead.

Levi paused, looking at you and his beloved baby lovingly. How foolish of him to make such a request. A request he never knew could change his life and a request he wouldn't make if it means the price to pay was his family.

"It was just a bad dream."

A horrible one. One he would never want to come to reality.

Pouting, you slowly got out of his embrace and got up, "well I wanna hear about it in the morning. Let's go back, maybe we can still make that fort we promised. It's still to early for bed times, right (c/n)?" You beamed, earning a hearty giggle from your baby making you and Levi smile.

Standing up you both exited the mess hall before heading back to your room.

The smile on Levi's lips never left, closing his eyes as a small tear streamed down his cheek feeling a small gust of wind brush against him.

"I'm always with you, Levi. I love you."

"Happy Mother's Day, mom." He thought before opening his eyes once more, looking at the bundle of joy in his arms before at your figure beside him.

Feeling his gaze at you, you gave him your eye smile followed by your baby's laughter.

"Thank you, I love you.."

enemies-turned-lovers!haechan

A/N: another attempt ladies and gentlemen, once again, it's shitty and my ask is open for more shitty writings! or if you wanna be friends come hit me up pls I don't bite :( anyways, I hope you like it~ 💌

it's not that big of a deal really

it was truly an accident, but it turned into a crazy myth

and you hate him for it

it all started with someone's rooftop party

birthday boy lee donghyuck decided to throw himself a pool party, on a rooftop

everyone's invited, except for mark because he's lame

just kidding

but are we?

anyways, hell everyone in your college is invited

haechan, his nickname, is pretty popular around school

not the jock kind of popular, he just.....knows a lot of people, and they know people, and it's a typical college party

where you bring a plus one and one plus one and suddenly the party equals a school prom or something

there's even a theme smh johnny the party planner

so you're friends with mark, and he's determined to show off to haechan that he's friends with that chemistry major genius he admires so much

totally didn't invite you just to get back at him nope

anyways, it's mean but you've never heard of haechan before, despite his seemingly large following on instagram

you didn't even know you guys attended the same college

it's not that you're a total homebody and never goes out to parties, you're just....not interested in their parties

and that's strike one, when you laughed in his face when he introduced himself as the "most popular guy in school"

in your defense, you thought it was self-depreciating humour

hyuck in return, wasn't as amused as you were, maybe in private he could've taken it better, but you just snorted at him in front of like, half of his friend circle

he's not pissed, he's just ashamed?

because he talks about you so much renjun literally can't take it anymore

it's like, he knows so much about you, your birthday and cafes you like(from your social media)

heck he even knows who's the bitch you're referring to in your subtweet

it's veronica from chem class 3

but also, you don't even know he exists

fast forward and skipping through his slight, maybe a bit bigger heartache,

he's lying down and just chilling on a hammock, away from you because his ego needs to take a break from that hit

he'd by the pool with the dreamies, half of them, renjun, jaemin and jeno in the pool and jisung and chenle next to him sharing a hammock

this is what was meant by an accident, you just wanted to get to the fruit bar, when ten, this lanky dude bumps into you from nowhere, and by accident

you bump into haechan

splash splash

his balance isn't the only thing he lost when he fell face flat into the pool

apparently chenle's laugh grabbed everyone's attention, and when the one and one is put together, hyuck became the school's laughing stock for a month

his glare at your dumbfounded state was anything but forgiving

that wasn't even the end of things

this sounds like it's made up, because no one can have such bad luck, ever, in one single day

but there goes hyuck, breaking beliefs left and right

you approached him and tried to apologise for basically ruining his day

he didn't actually know what to do, because he honestly wasn't mad at you, he was mad at the situation

you can throw him into the pool 3000 times and he'd say I love you 3000

yes, he might have a minor crush on you

but he's also super embarrassed, this was supposed to be his big day, and you're here

he wants to show you the best side of him

but that doesn't translate well onto his face

he......doesn't even know what he looked like at that moment, he was just stunned

but you must've thought he was growing mad because you further apologized, and your hand motions grew more frantic

and there you go, ssstrrriiiikke three

it was by accident

but you knocked over his refreshment, yes, the one he was trying to calm himself down with from the embarrassment

it could've been worse right, the glass could've hit someone

and you should've hoped so, because then they wouldn't be sober to call the police and have the party cancelled

this, including the series of embarrassing events that happened at haechan's party became the talk of the whole campus

and more than anything you dreaded it

it painted you in a bad light, and was giving you more attention than you ever fancied

what you didn't know was how much it bugged haechan too

he's been trying to get the dreamies to shut up about it, but even if he did, the whole school was chattering about you

he thought he would've gotten the short end of the stick, seeing how he was the laughing matter at his own party

but the jokes quickly turned sour when someone started the speculation of why it happened

and it sounded crazy to him

because why would there be a why? it was an accident, and yes maybe he did feel his face get a bit red and his blood level rise

but you explained that it was complete accidents, there was no malicious intention, or intention of any kind

idiots on campus starting saying that you had a crush on haechan, but you wanted to stand out, so you did all those things on purpose to get him to notice you

it's a total lie, and hyuck has to debunk it before it gets to everyone, but he doesn't know how

this time, it was he who accidentally started something up, and it went a little like this:

"hey haechan do they like you?"

"what? no it's a myth"

he said that, in the spur of a moment, because you liking him back would be a myth only he wishes would be true

but guess which idiots got the wrong idea? the geniuses of spreading misinformation

and said misinformation spread like wild fire, deeming you a bad omen, and especially to haechan

it dealt more damage to your reputation than to you mentality

because if you were a bad omen, the first person you would be cursing is yourself, for bringing all this shit upon yourself

but also, to haechan, because you found out weeks later that he actually said it himself

you can't be more annoyed

you clearly explained to him how it all happened and that it was an accident

you even went to testify with him to prove it was an accident

how could he, knowing all this, sit still and accuse you of being a bad omen??? a bad luck charm????

not to sound dramatic, but he basically ruined your campus life, even the newcomers know of your story

back to hyuck

he's panicking, almost everyday when he has to pass by your class

he feels so guilty even though he basically didn't do anything wrong

he tried to hush down the rumours and even told some people off who were just shittalking you in the hall

like, what does you wearing that sweater have anything to do with this???

he's lost like a puppy, he wishes he had the courage to just walk up to you and come clean, and he has tried!! but he chickens out every time

and after that one time you shot him a vicious glare at the cafeteria, it was clear he wasn't high on your favourite's list and he just lose hope in trying to make amends with you

and that brings us back to present day, where it has been three months since the incident, and a new batch of freshman have flooded the school

hyuck wasn't feeling like having lunch today so he opts for a walk around the campus park, where he spots you and he's bout to run away again

when he hears some bigshot chicks calling you names

yes, still calling people names in college smh

he can't take this behaviour, because you're right there, without earshot

and he just knows they're being mean to get on your nerves

so there goes lee donghyuck, stomping over to the girls and telling them off

"oh, you wanna call people names now? well I have a lot of suggestions for you, mainly inspired by you,"

you can hear everything, because the argument got pretty ugly from there, and everyone just got excused into the counsellor room, where they're told to not be childish and have petty little fights on the school campus bla bla blah

and you know, because you silently followed after them and stood outside to eavesdrop

what else were you supposed to do when haechan, who supposedly started this whole nonsense up was defending you?

so you wait outside until they're done and you call out his name, relishing a bit in the way his whole body halts to an abrupt stop at the sound of your voice

you guys go somewhere more private, and not in front of the counsellor's office because dude no one's trying to get in there again

and you deadpan him for an explanation, because-

"yes, it's what you deserve, I know,"

"well then why did you spread lies about me??"

his eyes goes wide when he's accused, head shaking and promises he never intended to

"it's an accident, I swear. someone just asked if you liked me and I thought, what the hell? that would be a dream to like, like even if someone told me I would say it's a myth because why would you like me back, you know? like I like you but it's impossib-"

"literally shut up for a second,"

you don't mean to sound like that, but he's babbling a lot and you can't get the point, and when you ask him to repeat, his face flushes a bright pink

"I like you, and someone said you like me, and I think it's a myth, and I said it, and this happened. I'm sorry. the end."

taken aback is an understatement

but you literally walk a few steps away from him, just to clear out your mind and think

because this whole time you thought he hated you for embarrassing him at his how party when in fact he explains

that he's just embarrassed to see you because you saw him being embarrassing and that he feels guilty?

it takes you a while, but eventually, you guys sit down properly and talk it out

and you quickly find out why he's so popular, because he's a joy to hangout with, skip the parts where he mercilessly roasts you

you two grow closer by each day, spending free times together and haechan or hyuck, as he lets you call him, even walks you to your classes

the whole campus is dumbfounded, because not only is haechan walking perfectly find beside you, he's smiling and not in pain, even when he has his arms around your shoulder

it takes him a month to finally confess(because he's still a chicken), but you guys finally get together and the whole school's mind is blown

and every rumour about you is debunked immediately, and you guys are deemed the school's next power couple

"what a turn of events huh, my lucky charm?"

PAWN

Charlie stared cheekily at the woman standing transfixed in the darkness ahead of her. Her beautiful, intelligent sister wife had followed Erik like a stowaway and he ain’t even know it, that freaking tiny genius. She curved her manicured finger beckoning Henny closer to the glass.

“You wanna be a king,” Charlie asked, leaning in. Henny wanted it, Charlie could see it in her big brown eyes. They yearned for control. She had the makings, but she had to deliberately choose it. “The queen is the most valuable player on the board, so by right our Dominant only holds the power we allow him. Baby girl, you already hold the high cards, you just gotta pull your rank. Tell me you feel me.”

“Oh I feel you. I got some stuff I wanna do,” Henny asserted, her eyebrows rising. She was serious and already plotting. Charlie grinned, excitement bubbling. She loved this side of Henny. So determined, so eager, so ready to explore. She just needed some light guidance and as sure as Kimora was her dance teacher, she’d teach Henny to dom. If anything, it would shock the heck out of Erik. Maybe she’d even get to watch.

“You’ll do them all if you remember these three things. One, our man is a total brat which means he is submissive. Behind his bravado lies a sub begging to be tamed.” All of the sister wives including herself were submissive brats, but Henny placed in the top tier when it came to high ratios of brattiness. She was 100% Brat while Charlie was a switch.

“Two, if you know what you like then you know what to give. If you like it there’s a good chance he will too. Use that to make him beg. And three, don’t bruise his ego unless you plan to heal it. We don’t want to break him emotionally for a scene, but I know that’s not an issue you’d have.”

“Hell no, we get enough of his emo ass. I just wanna make him grovel for once, switch positions.” Charlie smirked thinking of the scenarios they’d get up to.

“I’d like to see that. How about this, I’m a feel him out when we get back to the hotel and if it’s a go, I’ll let you know. If you liked what you saw of him tonight, you’re gonna love seeing what else he’s capable of.”

---

Hennessy’s big doe eyes twinkled in the glow of the neon purple light. She was intrigued by the idea of making Erik her bitch, having him grovel at her feet being an underlying kink of hers. She wasn’t necessarily dominant in nature, but she did enjoy being in control.

She felt the energy shifting within the small room, a tell-tell sign that her alter ego was stirring. This sort of thing was right up Kitana’s alley and it had been so long since she’d been out to play. For the first time in her 26 years, Hennessy surrendered herself to the woman, allowing Charlie to use her in whatever ways she saw fit. Afterall, one can’t expect to dominate successfully if they didn’t play the submissive role every once in a while.

---

Back at the aparthotel, there were four rented rooms, three people per room. A little shuffling around and Charlie and Hennessy were able to finesse a room together with Erik, at least for the night. Erik's body immediately gravitated to Charlie. With no border between them she knew he planned to beat the pink out of her pussy, but as much as she wanted that.. there was business to take care of. She rushed to her suitcase and pulled her cuffs.

“Uh-uh, babygirl, you think you finna restrain me and I ain't touched you in days,” he asked reaching out quickly again and again, but Charlie dodged each time sending a slight wink to Henny. “Come here,” he commanded, his finger pointing down. She knew what that meant, but she wasn't dropping to the floor tonight.

“What I say to call me? Just because the location changed doesn't mean our arrangement did. For the next few hours, I own you or until I say otherwise,” she dodged his cat-like lunge having played this cat and mouse game with him several times before.

“See Henny, with two dominants.. power struggles are bound to happen, but the true dominant is patient and does not relent. Erik, babe, you gone have to switch the reigns tonight because I know exactly what I want from you and I'll have it before the night is through.”

“ChaCha.. You think I can't just catch you if I wanna catch you?” He grinned, poised to strike yet again.

“Oh I know you can, but you haven't which means you want me to forcefully take control. Why? Cuz you a freaky ass bratty nigga. Don't ever forget that I know you as well as you know me, babyboy..” His eyes went pleadingly to Henny who was watching, entertained. “Nah, don't look at her! Your wife on my side. Come here, Hennessy!” With the quickness, Henny moved to Charlie's side, sticking out her tongue at Erik.

“Ohh.. I'm a get yo lil munchkin ass,” he said nodding his head in betrayal. He was too calm, he would definitely get her eventually, but for now Henny was protected.

“You ain't even know she followed you tonight did you? You got a smartass wife, better tighten up, beloved. If you don't want your cover blown further, that is. In the meantime..” Charlie approached Erik slowly, but with unwavering confidence. The look in his eye said she wouldn't even need the cuffs this time.

“On your knees,” Charlie demanded coolly and Erik narrowed his eyes, leaning in challenge into her space, an intimidation attempt. A loud slap crossed his cheek followed by her soft palm rubbing at the spot of impact. Charlie's lips were at his ear, whispering. “You know the rules, love, we only ask once.”

“I'm a get you back,” he said point blank with strong eye contact before Charlie rounded him again and kicked in his kneecaps, taking him down to the floor..

“I know.. But for now, you're on my time. Be a good bitch or I'll make it worse and little Henny gonna see what a naughty boy you really are.”

“Yes, King Jade,” he said not wanting to go full little boy around Henny. If he'd called her Mama Jade, that would've been Charlie's cue to go full Mommy Dom. Charlie knew the signs.

“Bitch it is, then,” Charlie said fetching a collar and leash she'd packed. It was a plain black leather collar and a black leash. After attaching them to Erik's thick neck as he kneeled, she wrapped the free end of the leash around her hand tightly, leading him to crawl in a circle before mounting his back and riding him across the aparthotel room. Henny looked on in shock as her usually sadistic and brolic dominant crawled back in forth on all fours like a masochist, arms bulging. Erik's eyes avoided hers in uncertainty. He had no reason to feel embarrassed, Henny wasn't judging like he thought. She was feeling it. If he looked up he'd see.

“Sub tonight or dom,” Charlie mouthed to Henny. It was either Dom or be dommed. To Charlie's surprise, she chose to sub. Magic words. “Hennessy. Why you got on clothes in my room?” Charlie asked aloud this time. “Where you think you bout to go? Take that shit off and stand right there,” Charlie pointed to an empty space, “Shoulders back, chin up, don't move.” She pulled the leash halting Erik's movements. “Park it,” she commanded and he sat kneeling on his heels in front of Henny in his briefs. Charlie climbed off and pulled his head back roughly by his ponytail. A look in Erik’s eyes showed his surprise as he looked up at Henny. Suddenly, he was really, really into this.

“Henny, put your leg over Erik's shoulder.” Charlie said dropping Erik's head. Henny threw her leg over his large shoulder and Erik looked to Charlie, hunger in his eyes. Charlie nodded her head, “Sick her!”

Like a wild animal, Erik attacked the junction between Henny's meaty thighs, his hands pulling her closer, gripping ass and thigh. He lapped at her entrance like it was life itself. Henny opened her mouth, sound welling up.

“Ah ah,” Charlie warned, “We have a rule. You speak or make a sound without permission? You get punished. If I were you, I wouldn't.”

“Shit,” Henny breathed in true bratty fashion. She couldn't control it. “Hennessy! I told you! Now you gotta take it for the next fifteen minutes and if you cum or talk or make a sound, your tongue is going in his ass. Don't worry, it's clean.” Charlie knew it was something Henny never wanted to do. She'd refuse, but that's why it was a punishment. Like, losing a dare. If she made a sound, Charlie would press her face right into Erik's ass and in this moment HE would do whatever Charlie said. This was the price of disobedience in King Jade's castle. Henny’s face twisted and distorted and her body writhed as Erik fed his hunger voraciously, but Charlie noticed humorously that she ain't make a peep.

“Alright, down boy,” Charlie said pulling the leash after fifteen minutes of watching. She was wet herself after watching Henny squirm. “You did good Henny! I'm proud of you. I'd have cum,” Charlie chuckled. She'd have been a goner after ten minutes the way her husband was eating. Good thing it wasn't her. “Henny. On your knees.” Henny dropped and kneeled, face to face with Erik. Charlie was high off of power. “Tongues out, both of you,” she said palming both of their heads and pushing them together. Their tongues twisted together aggressively pushing into each other's mouths, Erik trying to dominate Henny through use of his thick, long tongue. Charlie silently willed Henny to fight back, pushing her head and her tongue lashed out, battling fiercely. Erik was on rock, pitching a tent in his briefs. He reached out to grope Henny's full hanging breasts, unwilling to control himself.

“Nope,” Charlie swatted his hand and then his cheek with a slap. “Behave.” He groaned and it was another strike. Charlie yanked him back by his ponytail. “Henny wins!”

“Now Henny gets to cum, but how is the question.” Charlie rubbed her chin, plotting. Hennessy turned to Charlie, her big doe eyes shining with want.

“King Jade?” she purred.

“Yes Princess?”

“I want to ride,” she called back, staring hungrily at the tent in Erik’s pants.

“Erik. Lie on the bed on your back and be still, hands behind your head. Don't move. Henny. Straddle that dick. I want it to disappear in that pussy.” She waited for them to find their positions, watching Henny split herself on his pole. She knew the feeling and was laughing inside, the smile on her face clear. “You know you take that dick, don't bite your lip now,” Charlie teased pulling on Henny's bottom lip, freeing it. ”Now ride that dick. I wanna hear balls slapping ass every time you come down. When you come up, say ‘Thank you King Jade.’”

The words spilled from Henny’s lips like a prayer. If she’d known what she knew now, she would’ve asked this a long time ago. Seeing Erik in this way only made her desire for her beloved husband grow. It also made her more excited to know the kinds of things she’d have him doing when she was the one in control. He couldn't keep himself from moving under her, his hips thrusting desperately. His hands threatened to leave their positions and grab her, desperate to control the movements of her hips. She began to slow her pace as his thrusts began to falter under her, a tell-tell sign that he was close to his peak. She bounced a few more times, still singing praises to King Jade before hopping off, his glazed dick still pointing at the sky. If looks could kill, Hennessy would be dead on sight as Erik’s face twisted in a mixture of anger, confusion, and sexual desperation.

“Where the fuck you going?!” Charlie and Erik barked in unison. The little brat only giggled in response.

“He was about to cum, King Jade, and naughty boys don’t deserve to cum,” she replied with her most innocent smile. She had traces of Erik's sadism having been married to him for so long. Charlie nodded, in agreement with her logic.

“But good girls get multiple orgasms. Get yo ass back down. ERIK. Finish her. No hands. No dick.”

Red (taylor's version) x Byler

soooo i was thinking about making one of these for a long time and it was fun to connect the songs to them, i hope someone see this because was kinda hard to make

before starting, there are songs from the album that I don't include here, such as: 22, girl at home, mr. perfectly fine, starlight, the lucky one, we are never getting back together, ronan, i bet you think about me, stay stay stay, begin again

there are some lyrics that i don't consider the context, just the lyrics, because it matched their situation and their feelings, so i hope this falls into the hands of people good with theories

-

. state of grace - s2 and s4 mike

I'm walking fast through the traffic lights Busy streets and busy lives And all we know is touch and go We are alone with our changing minds We fall in love 'til it hurts or bleeds, or fades in time

You come around and the armor falls Pierce the room like a cannonball Now all we know is don't let go We are alone, just you and me up in your room and our slates are clean

We learn to live with the pain Mosaic broken hearts But this love is brave and wild

. everything has changed - s4 mike

All I knew this morning when I woke Is I know something now Know something now I didn't before

And all my walls stood tall painted blue But I'll take 'em down, take 'em down And open up the door for you

Come back and tell me why i'm feelin' like I've missed you all this time And meet me there tonight And let me know that it's not all in my mind

. better man - s3 and s4 will

I wish it wasn't four AM Standing in the mirror saying to myself: You know you had to do it I know the bravest thing I ever did was run

And I know why we had to say goodbye like the back of my hand But I just miss you and I just wish you were a better man

Push my love away like it was some kind of loaded gun Oh, you never thought I'd run

. the moment i knew - s3 will

You should've been there Should've burst through the door with that "Baby, I'm right here" smile And it would've felt like a million little shining stars had just aligned And I would've been so happy

And it was like slow motion Standing there in my party dress in red lipstick With no one to impress And they're all laughing as i'm looking around the room But there was one thing missing And that was the moment I knew

You called me later and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't make it" And I said, "I'm sorry too" And that was the moment I knew

. treacherous - all seasons mike

Out of focus, eye to eye 'til the gravity's too much And I'll do anything you say if you say it with your hands And I'd be smart to walk away but you're quicksand

I can't decide if it's a choice getting swept away I hear the sound of my own voice asking you to stay And all we are is skin and bone trained to get along Forever going with the flow But you're friction

Two headlights shine through the sleepless night And I will get you alone Your name has echoed through my mind And I just think you should know that nothing safe is worth the drive And I would follow you home

. i almost do - s4 will

And I just wanna tell you it takes everything in me not to call you And I wish I could run to you And I hope you know that every time I don't I almost do

I bet you think I either moved on or hate you 'Cause each time you reach out there's no reply I bet it never ever occurred to you That I can't say "Hello" to you and risk another goodbye

I bet you're sittin' in your chair by the window Looking out at the city and I hope Sometimes you wonder 'bout me

. sad beautiful tragic - s4 will

Long handwritten note deep in your pocket Words, how little they mean when you're a little too late I stood right by the tracks Your face in a locket Good girls, hopeful they'll be and long they will wait

In dreams i meet you in warm conversation We both wake in lonely beds In different cities And time is taking its sweet time erasing you And you've got your demons, and darlin' they all look like me

What we had a beautiful magic love there What a sad beautiful tragic love affair We had a beautiful magic love there What a sad beautiful tragic love affair

. come back... be here - mike between s3 and s4

I told myself, don't get attached But in my mind, I play it back Spinning faster than the plane that took you

The delicate beginning rush The feeling you can know so much without knowing anything at all And now that I can put this down If I had known what I'd known now i never would've played so nonchalant

This is falling in love in the cruelest way This is falling for you and you are worlds away In New York, be here But you're in London, and I break down 'Cause it's not fair that you're not around

. forever winter - all seasons mike

He says he doesn't believe anything much he hears these days He says, "Why fall in love, just so you can watch it go away?" He spends most of his nights wishing it was how it used to be He spends most of his flights getting pulled down by gravity

He seems fine most of the time, forcing smiles and neverminds His laugh is a symphony, when the lights go out, it's hard to breathe I pull at every thread, tryna solve the puzzles in his head Live my life scared to death he'll decide to leave instead

He says he doesn't believe anything much he hears these days I say, "Believe in one thing, I won't go away"

. nothing new - all seasons mike

Criticize the way you fly when you're soarin' through the sky Shoots you down and then they sigh, and say "She looks like she's been through it"

And I know it's sad, but this is what I think about And I wake up in the middle of the night it's like I can feel time moving How can a person know everything at 18 but nothing at 22? And will you still want me when I'm nothing new?

And my cheeks are growing tired from turning red and faking smiles Are we only biding time 'til I lose your attention? And someone else lights up the room? People love an ingénue

. holy ground - s1, s2 and s4 will

I was reminiscing just the other day while having coffee all alone, and Lord, it took me away Back to a first glance feeling on New York time Back when you fit my poems like a perfect rhyme

And I guess we fell apart in the usual way And the story's got dust on every page But sometimes I wonder how you think about it now And I see your face in every crowd

Tonight I'm gonna dance like you were in this room But I don't wanna dance if I'm not dancing with you

. red - s3 and s4 will

Loving him is like driving a new Maserati down a dead-end street Faster than the wind, passionate as sin, ending so suddenly Loving him is like trying to change your mind once you're already flying through the free fall Like the colors in autumn, so bright, just before they lose it all

Touching him was like realizing all you ever wanted was right there in front of you Memorizing him was as easy as knowing all the words to your old favorite song

Remembering him comes in flashbacks and echoes Tell myself, "It's time now, gotta let go" but moving on from him is impossible When I still see it all in my head in burning red

. i knew you were trouble - s3 will

I was in your sights You got me alone You found me

And he's long gone when he's next to me And I realize the blame is on me

So shame on me now Flew me to places I'd never been 'til you put me down So, shame on me now Flew me to places I'd never been Now I'm lyin' on the cold hard ground

No apologies He'll never see you cry Pretends he doesn't know that he's the reason why you're drowning

. the last time - s3 byler

Find myself at your door Just like all those times before I'm not sure how I got there All roads, they lead me here

You find yourself at my door Just like all those times before You wear your best apology but I was there to watch you leave And all the times I let you in just for you to go again Disappear when you come back Everything is better

And right before your eyes i'm aching Run fast, nowhere to hide Just you and me

. message in a botle - s3 and s4 will

Standing here waitin', waitin' And I became hypnotized by freckles and bright eyes Tongue tied

But now you're so far away and I'm down Feelin' like a face in the crowd I'm reachin' for you, terrified

'Cause you could be the one that I love I could be the one that you dream of Message in a bottle is all I can do Standin' here, hopin' it gets to you You could be the one that I keep, and I Could be the reason you can't sleep at night

. babe - s3 and s4 will

Big mistake, you broke the sweetest promise That you never should have made

I break down every time you call We're a wreck, you're the wrecking ball

Since you admitted it, I keep picturing her lips on your neck, I can't unsee it I hate that because of you, i can't love you, babe

. run - s2 and s4 byler

We shouldn't be in this town And my so-called friends, they don't know i'd drive away before I let you go So give me a reason and don't say no

So you laugh like a child and I'll sing like no one cares No one to be, no one to tell

And run, like you'd run from the law Darling, let's run, run from it all We can go like they're trying to chase us Go where no one else is, run

. the very first night - s4 mike

And so it goes, every weekend, the same party I never go alone and I don't seem broken-hearted My friends all say they know everything I'm going through

Not tryin' to fall in love, but we did like children runnin' Back then we didn't know we were built to fall apart We broke the status quo, then we broke each other's hearts

I wish I could fly, i'd pick you up and we'd go back in time I'd write this in the sky, i miss you like it was the very first night

. all to well - all seasons will

Oh, your sweet disposition and my wide-eyed gaze We're singing in the car, getting lost upstate Autumn leaves falling down like pieces into place And I can picture it after all these days

Til we were dead and gone and buried Check the pulse and come back swearing, it's the same After three months in the grave And then you wondered where it went to as I reached for you But all I felt was shame and you held my lifeless frame

Maybe we got lost in translation, maybe I asked for too much But maybe this thing was a masterpiece 'til you tore it all up Runnin' scared, I was there, i remember it all too well

And you call me up again just to break me like a promise So casually cruel in the name of bein' honest I'm a crumpled-up piece of paper lyin' here 'cause i remeber it all to well

'Cause there we are again when I loved you so Back before you lost the one real thing you've ever known It was rare, i was there, i remember it all too well

And did the twin flame bruise paint you blue? Just between us, did the love affair maim you too? 'Cause in this city's barren cold i still remember the first fall of snow And how it glistened as it fell I remember it all too well

[ravens-spells]

The frigid wind ripped and beat against the walls of Lorna and Bucky's hotel room. Laying there, Lorna stared sleeplessly at the ceiling. Blip-Haze-- as it was called-- was a common side effect of those returning from the blip; that's what the "experts" claimed. Frankly, Lorna thought it was a load of bullshit. She couldn't shake the night terrors and waking visions; the beasts that hunted them like dogs back in the Dead Lands. Even after returning from the Blip five years later, she still wasn't free. Every one of them was bound to silence-- to speak of what any of them witnessed in this Hell, would ripped their souls back to that wretched wasteland.

She shot a glance as Bucky turned over, mumbling Russian, then rolled to over to his opposite side.

Watching his bare back and subtle movements, Lorna got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash her face.

The sharp cold water did nothing to wake or relax the haunts that plagued her.

Bucky's shout snapped Lorna's attention to the bedroom. She entered the dark room to see Bucky sitting hunched forward; breathing erratically. "James?" She stayed in the doorway, waiting for a sign he was awake and not sleep walking.

Bucky peered at her bare moonlit silhouette "I'm up." A pang of guilt jolted his heart, the nagging reminder that his parasomnia walked a fine line between disruptive and deadly. Were it not for her ability to control metal, Lorna would've been in the hospital. Five years on Earth was a decade in that hellscape Thanos' snap sent them to. Reaching out his hand, Bucky coaxed her into his arms. Embracing Lorna sent tingles through his metal arm-- prickling his shoulder muscles where flesh met adamantium. "Can't sleep again?"

"I keep seeing it, it's like I haven't even come home." She held Bucky for several moments, resting her forehead against his shoulder.

"I know." He pulled her on top of him as he laid back down and covered them with the blankets. Holding her against his chest, feeling her heartbeat against his, Bucky stroked her hair. "we're back home, we're safe, okay?" Saying they were home meant nothing when you're waking up screaming in cold sweats.

"I can't stop seeing them." Lorna closed her eyes, praying sleep would come, nothing. Every moment sleep reached for her, images of the mangled faces of the Hollows jolt Lorna awake again. She sucked in a breath and moved to gaze down at Bucky's face. "I can't help think He might come after all of us."

Bucky reached up and ran his fingers along her jaw, "Dr. Rush promised us the Sovereign and the Hollows can't cross the breach." His reassurance did little to quell the doubt Bucky had. No such thing as a full proof plan. The fifty men and women who were left behind during the jump, was proof that promises had contingencies. He leaned up and kissed her. How 'bout we get breakfast." It was no use, the only way either of them were functioning for their debriefing that morning was caffeine and tons of it. Sleep was a luxury they both hadn't gotten since Thanos' snap.

"Rush said a lot of things. He said his vortex manipulator would work. He claimed Sarah-Jane would survive the Hollow's bite, oh, and y'know, how the Sovereign couldn't create a psychic link with the Cuckoos, that was a load of crap too. Face it, that bastard was blowing smoke up our asses James." Lorna got to her feet and grabbed her camisole off the floor. She threw it on and went in search for her clothes. Lorna dropped the topic before it turned heated. The strange relationship between Bucky and Rush was one that often ended in heated debates; whether he could be trusted was the overarching argument that neither of them could agree on. Still, even after the blip, Lorna found Rush's name still coming up in conversation.

Maybe Rush was, maybe he wasn't. Bucky trusted his motivation, even if all Rush's brilliance in astro-science failed him in the Dead Lands. "None of us knew what to expect there. I didn't." Lorna's frustrated sigh cued Bucky into silence. He followed her and got dressed as well. "You can't blame him for what happened to Sarah-Jane and the sisters. Nobody could've known that would happen."

Lorna turned to face Bucky, her green eyes hardened, "Are you sure about that?" She sighed and conceded with a shrug, "Fuck it." He was too wrapped up in Rush's bullshit to see what she saw. She wondered sometimes if the two hadn't had a fling before they'd gotten together; it would've explained why he was determined to trust the bastard. Lorna ended the conversation as she left the room, changing the topic to the light banter of breakfast options at the ass crack of dawn.
