CONGRATULATIONS ON 1K!! you’ve earned every last one of those followers! For your special event, could I get Number 7 with Itadori? Where you’re on a ramen date together and it seems like you need to leave but he doesn’t want you to. Sfw and sweet romance (itadori deserves some good in his life)

𝖂𝖊 𝖏𝖚𝖘𝖙 𝖌𝖔𝖙 𝖘𝖙𝖆𝖗𝖙𝖊𝖉 𝖙𝖍𝖔𝖚𝖌𝖍

𝟷𝟶𝟶𝟶 𝔣𝔬𝔩𝔩𝔬𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔰 𝔢𝔳𝔢𝔫𝔱

AN: Yuuji absolutely deserves the best in life and he WILL get it (manifesting)

The hole in the wall ramen place served fantastic meals, you had to admit. Yuuji had good taste in date locations, you enjoyed yourself immensely at the arcade and now this? He really had your heart in his palm at this point, though you had started dating only recently.

Yuuji really was the perfect boyfriend - he bought you flowers, he opened the doors for you and rubbed your muscles if they were sore, he took you to fun places and cuddled with you if all you wanted to do was nap.

“-and then she said, ‘Oh wouldn't you like to know?’ in the snottiest voice imaginable. I thought the guy would explode with how red his face was,” he grinned and you could only laugh at the retelling of his classmate’s showdown with a tourist. Some people really got what they deserved. 

“Nobara is an icon, I swear…” you remarked. “I wish I were her.”

“What? Noooo,” he whined jokingly. “I love you as you are.” 

You winked at him, “Well, good thing I love you too. Even if you do have pink hair…” 

His hands flew to his hair, trying to hide it. “That’s not my fault…” he grumbled. 

Your phone alarm beeped, making you freeze as you realised the time. Yuuji’s smile faded as you pursed your lips, staring at the phone. You made a point in having a studying schedule when exams drew near, dedicating three nights a week to revisions - and this time, the night unfortunately coincided with a date with Yuuji.

“You have to go?” 

You looked up, an unhappy frown marring your face, and he knew.

“We just got started though,” he whispered, staring at your phone for a moment before dragging his eyes up to meet yours again. The silent plea was adorable, and were this another day, you would have teased him about it, but he had enough stress as it was. 

You bit your lip, thinking if you really had to go. Yuuji’s pout was tugging at your heartstrings, his expression reminding you of a kicked puppy. 

It couldn’t hurt to skip studying for one day… 

You caved in. “Fine, now stop that pout or I’ll-” your face was set aflame by your thoughts. Thankfully Yuuji brightened and gave you his usual sunny grin, you could nearly imagine a tail wagging behind him and sparkles in his eyes. He grabbed your hand and kissed your knuckles one by one.

“You won’t regret it! I promise!”

“I never regret going out with you, really,” you assure him, glancing at his bowl. “How about this, I’ll pay for ramen and you treat me to bubble tea?”

✦ pairing: dazai x gn!reader

✦ notes: my 4th installment of blurbs for my boy's birthdays (bbb). i love him so much it hurts. let's all pretend this isn't 2 days late <3

✦ warnings: surprisingly sfw, talks of death/suicide (it's dazai), minor angst but painfully sweet at the end

✦ wc: 1k

Birthdays were hard for Dazai. The congratulations, the gifts, the cake, the smiles, only reminded him of one thing – he survived another year. A concept that was still difficult for him to grasp. It was admittedly getting easier, slowly finding things worth living for, but still hard. When he spent so much of his life, so many of his formative years, hoping for nothing but death, it’s hard for that not to be in the back of his mind.

When birthdays felt like a failure. When the number ticking up made Dazai feel like a coward. A further reminder that he hadn’t built up the guts, that he was still naïve enough to think there was something worth living for, and he just hadn’t found it yet. A spineless fool who could never practice what he preached.

The only thing that made him crack a smile when he was strongarmed into blowing out the candles of the cake that Elise demanded, was how antithetical it was to wish for death at a celebration of his birth. A paradox of his own creation.

Dazai could never really understand why anyone wanted to celebrate his birth. He couldn’t think of a single person who, for a reason outside of personal gain, would be sad if he died. Sure, Mori and much of the Port Mafia would mourn the loss of one of their most cunning executives, Odasaku would miss having a drinking buddy, and Chuuya would miss having someone to antagonize, but no one would miss him. No one would miss Osamu Dazai as an individual and a soul, for all that he is and is not.

So why was it worth celebrating his life – the opposite of his death?

You were the first person Dazai ever met who actually cherished him for who he was, and not what he could provide. His life meant something, meant everything to you, and was more than worthy of celebration.

The first to look him in the eyes and tell him you would be sad if he died.

“You are so much more than a Port Mafia executive, or a Detective Agency detective – you’re so much more than No Longer Human, and even more than my partner,” you whispered to him one night. “You, are Osamu Dazai. A soul unlike any other, and a soul just as worthy of existing and being loved.”

Of course, he never really quite believed you – and you didn’t much expect him to, either. Not with how this life had treated him. He spent his whole life being told his worth extended only as far as what he could do, never who he could be.

Even when you spent hours gently unwrapping every single bandage that adorned his fragile skin, and kissed every single scar that marred his body, Dazai still didn’t quite comprehend. Not even when you helped him wrap fresh ones, each sealed with a kiss, assuring him that he didn’t have to hide but you would always support his comfort. But that was okay. You didn’t love just to receive love. You loved because he was worth it.

So when his birthday came around, the first of which the two of you would be spending together, you were very intentional with plans. You wanted to make him feel loved and cherished and worthy, but not push him past his limit – or make it feel artificial. It couldn’t feel like it was just going through the motions and playing out the stereotypes of a birthday. It needed to be suited to Dazai, so that he could see that it was on purpose.  

Just a typical weekday, you turned off his alarm and woke him with a gentle kiss, whispering a sweet “happy birthday, my love” against his lips. Not even Dazai could fight the way his lips curled into a smile. You washed his hair in the shower and rewrapped his bandages for him, and he even let you apply a few swipes of mascara on his fluttery eyelashes, telling him it was so he could look extra pretty for his special day.

Sending him off to work with a perfectly crafted latte and a flurry of I love you’s, you sat down on the balcony with a paper and pen to write his birthday letter – his only gift, aside from the exorbitantly priced bottle of sake you bought to pair with dinner.

Dear Osamu, it began.

I am a lovesick fool. Your heart has corrupted me in the most irreversible way possible, and your soul has eternally entangled itself with mine. You blind me with your kindness, your passion, and your devotion. I have more love for you than there are stars in the sky, and you are worthy of every atom.

It is only when the ink of your pen starts to run dry that, three pages later, you decide to conclude the letter.

Happy birthday, my one true love. You matter. The letters were lacking in opacity but enriched with love.

And when Dazai finally arrived home, telling stories that likely were not supposed to grace the ears of non-Agency employees, you surprised him with a simple, yet very deliberate dinner. Crab and sake – just what he liked. The laughs got louder as glasses were poured, and tears collected at the corners of his eyes as he read through your letter. You matter, he mouthed silently as he read the line.

And for the first time in his entire life, an inkling of a sliver of a thought entered his mind, that maybe, just maybe, you were right.

[anna-scribbles]

hey anna! the wait for kwami’s choice part 2 truly is abysmal and it’s so hard to navigate through the tag with all the leaks about, do you have any fic recs to tide us over until gloob puts us out of our misery?

not only do I have fic recs, I also have way too much to do rn and therefore will spend an inordinate amount of time crafting a detailed rec list for you 😘 (we can also just consider this my 2022 ao3 wrapped lol)

goes without saying perhaps, but ANYTHING by @peachcitt is gold and also uniquely devastating, some of my particular favorites being:

metamorphosis - 97k, enemies, sleepovers, you get it. i'm normal

those benevolent stars - 23k, ladrien thief/prince/soulmates au. what more do I even need to say

chat noir's white french man hit list for feminist purposes - 7k, hilarious and devastating, this fic is a child to me

double dare - 32k, ladrien, absolutely everything. cemented my friendship w/ peach bc I had to scream at her everyday abt it

I thought the plane was going down - 11k, attuned to my tastes specifically, adrinette having a History while on airplanes

@carpisuns also puts out banger after banger like it's her dayjob, specializing in understanding the ridiculous nature of the lovesquare to such a degree and also being the funniest person alive. some of my faves from her are:

tell me something I don't know - 120k, the marichat fic EVER, mar's dissertation on lovesquare and guess what she's right

pink - 14k wip, adrien loves marinette, SOFT

two idiots and a hamster (collab with @botherkupo) - 24k, adrinette roommates, makes me cry laugh

@picayunearts is a goddess on earth. she bends word and image flawlessly to her will. recently she has enraptured me with

final girl - 41k, marichat, au where marinette succeeds in giving up her miraculous to alya in origins. INCREDIBLE marinette character study

@rosekasa invented ladynoir and i'm not afraid to say it. check out everything on her ao3 but just note the following

when things were good - 15k wip, breakup fic/post hawkmoth takedown, has been ruining me in a SPECIAL way

new marinette 12k, post-guardianship memory loss marinette, a classic

like poles of a magnet - 12k, enemies au, hurts my feelings

ya'aburnee - 13k, ladynoir, HURTS ME VERY MUCH. I'VE NOT RECOVERED

@buggachat's fics always feel like i'm attending a course on adrien and marinette's true characterizations explained to me by someone with a PhD in lovesquare and I walk away enlightened. she has an incredible gift for storytelling and just Getting It. anyway read

maintaining a professional distance - 43k, ladynoir hotel room shenanigans, god-tier characterization

when you're near 10k, ladynoir dating but adrinette have never met, a classic

@sha-nwa should honestly quit her career and write lovesquare fanfiction for me full time. proof:

the way I loved you - 68k, marichat break up fic, will be cemented into my mind forever

photograph - 1k, sweet adrinette, abby loves making me cry

things WOULD be amiss if I did not mention @officialratprince (carolinaa on ao3) bc their fics derailed my homework schedule on several occasions last semester, though I'll be honest that their fics are not for the faint of heart or those who wish adrien agreste to have a good time. my faves are

I will take it / it can't go wrong series - 3 fics at 16k, 25k, and 39k, adrien's journey through experiencing child abuse and his friends being there for him, culminating in gabriel's court trial

home sick - 14k wip, adrien gets pneumonia and Everything Is Really Bad

other various fics I love for various reasons:

how hawkmoth got his groove back series by @agrestenoir - 2 fics at 3k and 1k, one of my favorite crack fics i read last year. had me crying laughing

1 step forward, 3 steps back by agnes writes - 10k, breaks my heart every time I read it. also makes me legitimately angry at adrien while still keeping him in character which is a feat in and of itself

the last day on earth by reiaji - 10k, chat blanc keeps happening as marinette gets older, I am incapable of not recommending this fic

okay now go forth and don't do your work<3

The Burden of the Sun

Blurb: Macaque confronts Wukong on his mis communications and Wukong finally snaps

Word count: 1k

Genre: Angst

Authors note: Hehehehehe, this was fun to write

Pairing: Shadowpeach

The cool darkness around him was no new feeling. It was a comfort at a time, back when he felt the warmth it could have at the end of it. A warmth only he knew. His own special light, one created from the shadows he made.

Now the warmth was gone, in its’ place only the shadows that grew and grew over the years. The shapes he left behind centuries ago. Ones that turned from blankets of familiarity to chains of memories, of guilt. That he regrets to admit is still the most comforting feeling, even now as he falls through this darkness.

He landed on his side, hissing as the pebbles one the ground dug into his skin.

“OH, don’t give me that shit. Up.” Macaque snarled. Wukong rolled over, sitting up. Macaque scoffed, squat down and grabbed Wukong collar.

“Well?” He prompted. Wukong noted how his breath smelled like mint, unlike the regular mango smell.

“”Well what?”

Macaque sneered, dragging Wukong up by his collar.

“I’M TRIED OF THIS SHITTY ‘I don’t know’ ACT YOU PULL!” Macaque tossed the Money King back down on the ground.

“I’VE BEEN DOING THE GOOD BOY THING FOR MONTHS NOW, I HELPED YOU WITH AZURE LION, I SAVED YOUR ASS FROM THE SCROLL. AND ALL I GET IS THE COLD SHOULDER????” Macaque exclaimed. He picked Wukong back up from the ground, pulling him closer to his face.

“I didnt lie about Lady Bone Demon.”

“I didn’t hide that dragon girl was the vessel of the fourth ring.”

“I didn’t run off to fight that bitch myself and get corrupted.”

I didn’t abandon everything I knew just in some misguided belief that would fix everything!”

“You did! All you do is lie and cross others. And you don’t even care.” Macaque scoffed, shaking his head.

“Even now you lie. I can see your glamor.”

Wukong bristled at that comment, but said nothing. Macaque huffed, and shook Sun Wukong collar.

“Well? Are you still putting up that act? Be the coward that you tired to change from?” Macaque prodded, his face contouring in disdain. Wukong s eyes trailed down to witness the state of his former companion, white patched and scars marring his body.

Wukong exhaled through his nose.

“Did you realize that the reason Lady Bone Demon was back because you couldn’t finish the job last time?” He asked.

“What?” Macaque snarled.

Wukong raised his hand, placing over his shadows hand.

“Did you think that others wouldn’t belive you and trust you if you said that they were going to be ok after such a overwhelming power enters them? Or would you stay quiet as you plan to make sure they wouldn’t have to go through that.”

The grip was too strong.

“Did you consider that everyone is depending on you, so you had to be the one to finish the job and clean up the mess you made?”

Why is the pain back, im not doing anything, I didnt do anything.

“Did you ever think that people were better off without you in their life until you better yourself?”

Please I’m sorry I’m sorry-

“And did you stop to consider if I told the truth, people would crosss me? Make life harder for themselves? Because I did, I cared so damn MUCH I grew to become an idol for others, make others look up to me when all I wanted was to shrink away.” Wukong broke the grip macaque had one him, pinching his forehead.

I wont do it again I wont do it again please let me go.

“I HAD TO DO EVERYTHING! ALL THE FIGHTING, ALL THE PLANNING, EVERYTHING TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE WAS SAFE!” He yelled, felling his head get tighter and tighter.

“Wukong…” The silent mumble from Macque lips snapped Wukong back to the cliff he was on, back to the grass instead of the rocky paths of the mountains.

“Your eyes.. Your head…” Macque observed. Wukong froze, raising his hand up. His callouses were visible.

I’m sorry I’m sorry

“Wukong look at me. Can you please look at me?” He pleaded, Wukong cracked his eye open, seeing Macaque holding his face gently. Wukong opened both of his eyes.

“I had to do everything. I was their powerhouse, the Great Monkey King. And what did I get whenever I tried to plea with them? Try and warn them of incoming dangers? When I tried to be a good monk and avoid disaster? A lecture and a torturous headache, that’s what.”

“I was nothing more than a guard dog with a short leash.”

Macaque’s gaze softened. He traced his fingers over the scar left behind by the circlet, trailing down to the blood red eyes of the Monkey King, Great Sage Equal to Heaven.

“I tried so hard to be a hero when all they saw was an a animal needing taming.” Wukong whispered.

“And now, I’m a king with no greatness being thrown around someone who truly cared for me.” Wukong pushed Macque away, walking toward the edge of the cliff.

“Thank you for the memories, and the companionship. Truly.” He took tha last step.

Macaque rushed over to the edge of the cliff and witnessed as Wukong flew away on his nimbus cloud. Macaque growled, falling to his knees and pounding the ground beneath him with his fists.

The blood came soon after, trickling down his clawed fingers. The white patched fur stained pink as his invisible barrier fell. His multi colored ears pointed downwards, his scarred eye producing tears.

On the cloud, Wukong let tears fall, bringing his glamour come back up as he flew toward the horizon. Towards the setting sun. Toward his bungalow hidden by forest, where all his monkey friends were. Where his cold lights were on. Away from the mighty warrior that was still mighty, while he turned tail like the coward he was called.

The hero’s light turning dimmer and dimmer, with the warrior still in his shaodws.

1k followers 🫨I’m honestly baffled that that many people found my blog and enjoy it. I love putting content out here you all. It started as a way to heal and led me to some of the most amazing friendships and relationship that I could’ve asked for.

Im so thankful to my comfort characters and their actresses For being comfort characters that I can write about. Getting me through a rough time in my life. I wouldn’t have thought I would touch so many people with my work but I’m so glad I have. And thank you to everyone here who likes comments re blogs Collabs and sends in requests I couldn’t do it without you all.

It felt like it was kinda fate that I got into skz? I had moved, the concert was postponed, and my best friend had an extra ticket for me. If those things hadn’t happened I probably would not have even attempted to get into them.

This blog was an extension of the serendipitous love and excitement I felt for them and continue to feel. These boys have made me so happy. And surprisingly I hit 1k followers in the process!! That’s worth celebrating because I’m honored to contribute to stayblr and the fandom community in a creative way.

I don't have time to do requests right now (unless you ask nicely), but down the line I'll share something special with y'all :D

Thank you 143!!

♡♡, Mars/noonaracha

[kcuf-ad]

For those that read my fics, here is something that could be important:

The Mars Chapter, aka Mars' Treasure, will probably have 2k long fight without wings, then 2k fight with wings, then a new transformation that lasts about 4k words, then 1k long backstory for Mars and however long it takes to finish the rest of the chapter.

Then, for my VRAINS fans, you are in luck, as you guys are getting a 4 Chapter Special, as now we get Gore vs Varis up until the ending of Season 1 which I promise you, has possibly my longest duel yet. It has around 14 turns.

A masterlist of all round-ups can be found here. Special thanks to @griffonskies for helping out with this round-up!

If you want to make sure you never miss a FF rec, or would like to participate and share your own favourites; join us on the Discord TheMerlinLibrary! Happy reading!

About the FF round-up lists:

Recs are listed in the order they were posted on the Discord; the order does not imply any sort of ranking.

The pairing given in this list is the main pairing of each respective fic – please read the tags for any possible minor or side-pairings, as well as any potential warnings or triggers.

Pairings and Eras are given as tagged in each respective fic. (?) signifies that the tags were unclear and I do not know enough about the fic to fill the gaps.

Round-ups are compiled on the weekend of the week after the respective theme of the post (when the new theme has already been anounced), to avoid omitting potentially belated FF recs.

Since I am running FF alone, it is not always possible for me to have the round-up list up immediately – please be patient.

The weekly round-up is not a guarantee! Again, I'm running this alone, so it can only be posted for weeks when I have enough time on my hands to compile a list. If you'd like to help out, feel free to contact me on Tumblr ( @zaharya ) or Discord.

Can i request a love letter frlm porco? Pls and ty!

Porco's Love Letter

Today I woke up alone in this train and for a second, I thought you walked out without saying good morning only to remember you stayed behind in Liberio.

Your perfume still lingered on my shirt and the lipstick marks you left behind are still on my skin, even if faded.

Right now, Reiner is pretending to read his book but I can tell his dumbass is trying to see the words on his page much like he did to that girl Ymir, let's give him something to look at then.

hahahahaha, he immediately looked down and his cheeks are so red, maybe he needs to learn how to mind his own bussiness.

As I sit in this train, my thoughts go back to two nights ago when we said goodbye to each other for the second to last time. How warm your mouth was around me and how you contracted around me when you came.

Shit, I just made myself hard. Magath is starring at me, fuck. I hate it here.

We are arriving at our destination but I promise to write you at every chance I get. I'll find a way to bring back a souvenir once we win this ridiculous fucking war.

Please don't forget that I love you and please don't get another boyfriend. I promise I'm way hotter than any other man you'll ever know.

Signed with love,

[brunchable]

Dandelions - Part III: Divine Magic

•••

Christine’s wedding had to end early for safety reasons because of the havoc that Gargantos’ left in the city. While Eric waited for you to return, he paced around your vehicle and chewed his nails while he waited for you to show up. Even though he knew you possessed certain abilities, he was extremely concerned about your safety since he was aware that you had no clue how to even properly use them. 

It’s been almost three hours since, and he’s very tempted to call your father. You might get angry at him for it, but what other choice had he got when he couldn’t contact you?

In front of him, golden sparks began to form in a circular motion, Eric's eyes widened, and his brain began to malfunction as he frantically tried to come up with a place to hide. He bumped into your vehicle while his legs were teetering as he fled to the other side of your car. He could only think of the worst, especially after a monster attack. 

Eric’s head peeked behind the hood of your car. You stepped out of the portal, giving someone the finger, “(Y/N)? Is that you?” Eric’s voice sounded little, he couldn’t recognize you now that your hair colour had changed.

You spotted his head, his hazel almond eyes squinting at you, "Yes, it’s me.” 

Eric sprung to his feet and hurried over to give you a bear hug, which came crashing like a wave, “I’m so relieved that you’re safe. You had me so fucking worried, you were leaving me no choice but to call your Dad.” 

Even though you and he fought like cats and dogs sometimes, there was no denying that you treated each other like siblings you never had. Eric was adopted into your family after your aunt, Eric's mother, tragically gave into her sickness when he was young. He wasn’t always this protective, but after you were resurrected, and now being three years younger than him, Eric changed.

"I'm okay," You wrapped your arms around his torso and patted him on the back to comfort him, “Please tell me you actually didn't.” You drew back, displaying a worried expression on your face.

“No, but I was going to—hold up.” Eric paused and looked you over from head to toe, “First of all, your hair–?” 

“Shhh!” You shushed him before he continued further, “Let’s talk about this at home. You drive, you got the keys right?” 

"Um." He uttered, and Eric's brows began to twitch, he immediately started patting himself down and checking all of his pockets.

"Eric?" You stared at him with narrowed eyes as you observed him.

Eric's face lit up when he found the keys in the deepest crevice of his pocket, "Found it." 

•••

You sat in the passenger seat scrolling through the web for any news of a new super human, while Eric was bopping to 'Love's Train' covered by Bruno Mars while both of you were stuck in traffic.

"I need you to please believe, please believe~ I. LOVE. YOU. BABY~ (Y/N) hit it." Eric, who sounds exactly like the singer, belted over the stereo, his eyes shutting while he began to drive. Your eyes pan towards him while gawking, but you sing with him anyway.

"If you are that special lover and love keeps you tied to another, that's the way it goes on love's train~" You sang and snapped your fingers to the beat.

"Ye' don't need no, ye' don't need no ticket to ride~" Eric made his voice nasally, his shoulders vibing to the beat of the music.

You laughed at the way he goofily sang the part and continued scrolling down your feed. A new post by the Daily Bugle was posted four minutes ago and you read the title:

“New superhero? Or a new super menace? ” The article's title states, with a photo of you in the sky, a line of contrail leaving your feet and hands.

Eric glanced at you, then did a double take after seeing a ‘wtf’ look plastered on your face.

"Geez, you look ugly.” Eric chuckled.

“It could be worse... I could be you.” Your mouth blurted out almost instantly.

Eric’s mouth hung open, befuddled, chuckling at how quickly you responded, “I honestly don’t get how your brain comes up with a comeback that quickly— anyway, what did you see?”

“J. Jonah Jameson’s idiotic article, New superhero? Or a new super menace? Earlier today, New York City was attacked by a giant octopus, drawing the attention of Doctor Strange and another…. Can you guess it? It’s not a bird, it’s not a plane, it’s actually an unknown superhuman— It goes on, blah, blah, just leave it to Doctor Strange, he knows what he’s doing,” You blew a raspberry, “He was knocked out for half of the fight, I bet that quack paid Jameson to say nice things about him.”

Eric smirked when you mentioned Doctor Strange, “He seems like a nice guy.” 

“Who Jameson? What are you drunk?” You looked at him judgingly.

“No! Doctor Strange.”

You guffawed and threw your head back, “I don’t think so.”

“Why not? He looks presentable, intelligent, cultured, not to mention smokingly handsome and way older than you—everything that ticks your boxes.” Eric reasoned with the intention of teasing you about how you literally flirted with the man by playing hard to get. 

You lifted your hands and counted your digits,“He’s also condescending, conceited, and arrogant. Everything that doesn’t tick my boxes– I would NEVER date a man like him.” You crossed your arms and slumped in your seat, "Not after he made me look stupid when he stood me up."

"Is that really the only reason though?" Eric raised his brows and glanced at you. 

"Psh–Yeah, what other reason would I have?" 

•••

When you finally got back to your apartment, the first thing you did was get into a steamy shower to wash the filth and old blood off of your skin. You wrapped a towel over your body and stood in front of the mirror, wiping the steam away while staring at your now, silvery white hair and wondering why it wasn't reverting back to its natural colour.

It wasn’t like this during the first and second times you tried using your powers, ‘Maybe I should just sleep on it later, at least it looks good.’ You think to yourself. 

You dressed yourself in an all black outfit, topped with a half turtleneck, long-sleeved crop top, and for your bottoms, you wore your high rise jeans and paired everything with a black blazer coat to make yourself look sophisticated. The outfit looked good with your new hair, you felt cool–no, you looked like a dangerous woman. 

You rushed to the kitchen, where Eric had already lined up the first aid kits, “How many cuts and abrasions do you have?” He asked as you jumped to sit on the counter.

“I got one here, here, and here.” You pointed at your eyebrows, nose, and hand, “I’m pretty sure there’s more, but it’s fine, just cover the ones that are visible.” You took some of the dressings and cut them into small pieces, as Eric dabbed an antiseptic over your abrasions, you hissed as it started to sting.

“Sorry— So what are you going to do about your hair?” He asked.

“I'll dye it if it doesn’t go back to normal tomorrow morning, I can’t go to work like this. I don’t want anyone to know, apart from you.” 

Eric nodded, "I know a good hair salon–"

"Who said anything about going to the hair salon?" You tilted your head, eyes squinting.

"You want me to help you dye it ourselves, don't you?" Eric sighed, carefully sticking the small band-aid above your eyebrow.

"Pleaaase." You bat your lashes at Eric while pulling a cute smile. 

He stared at you with a dead-pan expression, trying hard to resist your adorable face, "Tsk. Fine! But you owe me some Korean barbecue afterwards. "

You pulled a victorious smile, "Of course! Anything for my favourite cousin!" You patted his arm hard.

Eric’s dead-pan expression brightened in a snap and smiled sheepishly, "Really? I'm your favourite cousin?" 

"Yeah, after Mandy." You joked and slid off the counter to get going to meet the wizards of New York.

"Wha–You guys don't even get along well!" 

•••

You ubered your way to the Sanctum Sanctorum, using Wong’s very professional business card with the Sanctum’s address written in it. You wondered why he even has a business card when he’s not a businessman? You lifted your fist to knock on the door, only for it to open before you on its own, “Automatic doors huh? Talk about fancy.” You lazily entered the place with your hands inside your coat pockets, it was quiet, dark and full of cult-ish artefacts that either looked ancient or cursed. 

Little to your knowledge, Stephen quietly hovered down from upstairs, his cloak billowing through the air as he descended. He had a coffee mug in hand that he was trying not to spill.

“Psh, not part of a cult my ass.” You muttered to yourself as you approached an object with ninja-looking spikes hanging from it,“This place could use some light–”

“Don’t touch that.” Stephen's thunderous baritone voice warned you, but it was already too late. You were already touching it when he unexpectedly spoke behind you, it prompted you to scream out of fright, causing the metal spikes to collapse all over the table.

“Jesus–” You were overcome with panic and frantically struggled to stop the spikes from clanking down on the table simultaneously. You made an effort to put things back together, but it ended up breaking apart once again despite your efforts.

Stephen let out a muffled groan of annoyance, “If you could just leave it now.”

“What was that?!” Wong came running down the stairs and saw the mess, “Oh no, not again.” He had a tone of genuine dismay in his voice while he hurried towards the mess and made his own feeble attempts to clean things up.

“Again?” You asked dumbly.

“Yeah, first Thor, then one of our apprentices, and now you–” Stephen paused and turned to Wong, “I told you we should encase that in glass, I’m not spending twelve hours trying to put that thing back together.”

"Even with magic?" 

"Yes, even with magic, you can see how flimsy they are." Stephen now directed his annoyance towards the object, before scanning you from head to toe and clearing his throat,"Anyways, let’s get you to Kamar-Taj, the kid's waiting for us." 

"Hang on, hang on. Don't I need a travel visa to go to Nepal?" You asked seriously as the two men hopped into what looked like a library.

Wong and Stephen exchanged perplexed glances at each other, "We have never used a visa..."

"So you’re basically residing there as illegal aliens?" You questioned and displayed a sign of disapproval by crossing your arms.

"What—No! Just get in here, that is not important!" Using his hand, Stephen beckoned for you to hasten up and join them.

"Excuse me? I don’t want to go to jail, I am not going there without a visa. I'm a law abiding citizen–" 

"Alright, that's it." Stephen sucked air through his teeth and clicked his tongue in reaction to your defiance. After that, he opened a portal directly beneath your feet, which caused you to fall into the library of the Kamar-Taj.

"AHHH!" You landed face first on the wooden flooring with a loud thud as you fell from the ceiling, "Oof—You know, I'd say go to hell, but then again, I never want to see you." You gave him the evil eye.

Stephen scoffed, walking past you while you got up on your feet. He leaned his hips on the edge of the table while watching you get up and drinking out of his mug, "The feeling is mutual."

"Hi (Y/N)," America waved at you cheerfully, she was clearly delighted to see you again.

"Hi– sorry I don't think I got your name." You smiled at the girl, approaching her while you dusted yourself off.

"America Chavez!" Her eyes smiled. 

"Nice to meet you, America." You smiled back at her and took the seat beside her.

"I love your outfit, you look so cool in all black, especially with the white hair." She complimented you, staring at your hair that you did up in a ponytail.

"Yeah, if you're going to a funeral." Stephen muttered behind the rim of his mug before taking another drink.

Your smile disappears when you hear Stephen’s irritating voice, "Your funeral if you use that portal trick on me one more time."

Stephen huffed through his nose before a short chuckle,"What are you going to do? Blow me with your powers?" 

Your face scrunches up in disgust, "Ew no." 

Stephen furrowed his brows as he came to realise what you were thinking about,"That's not what I meant–"

"Well he actually just buried himself on top of some random apartment, so technically there was a funeral." America said innocently, causing your face to contort into a horrid expression. 

“Well that’s morbid…” 

Stephen nodded with brows both raised, “Wow, for once we agree on something.” He pulled a sarcastic smile and got up to make room for Wong.

Wong walks in carrying a layer of books stacked up on top of each other and drops them all at once on the table in a loud thump, disturbing the dust particles to fly into the air. You could tell that those books haven’t seen the light of day for a long, long time.

“Okay, this is all the books about Divine Elemental Magic. You might want to read some of them.” Wong presented the books with his hands, huffing lightly. 

You stared at the books in front of you, looking quite unsure whether you wanted to read them or not, “I have a question, how did you know that what I have is this ‘Divine elemental magic?’” 

“Come closer, my child.” With a wave of his hand, Wong motioned for you to get out of your seat and approach him. 

Wong merely raised his hand, and as it got closer to your face, you closed your eyes out of fear that whatever he was going to do to you would be painful. However, he only lightly tapped the region between your eyebrows where a symbol of Divine magic shone magnificently with a brilliant white light. 

You slowly opened your eyes, thinking, ‘That was it?’ 

"Give yourself a good look." When Wong saw the glowing symbol on your forehead, he motioned for you to look at yourself in one of the mirrors. He then said, "I can see that without needing to lay it bare."

Stephen and America watched, their attention drawn by the spectacle that was unfolding before them. Stephen was truly amazed that he had lived long enough to witness magic of any kind, let alone speak with someone who practised it.

“B-but why me? My family has never mentioned anything about the use of magic.” You furrowed your brows, “I don’t even know how to use it or if i’m brave enough to face the answers.” 

“Baby steps, (Y/N), you won’t find answers just like that.” Wong snapped his fingers, “But I can tell you the origins of where your powers came from, it’s actually my favourite one.”

“Oh can I stay to listen?” America raised her hand and Wong nodded.

"A long long time ago….”

The Mighty Cagliostro came face to face with a sorcerer of darkness that was reeking havoc by using the forbidden black magic to become more powerful— you see, power mixed with greed is like a disease that all sorcerers must overcome. 

This particular sorcerer referred to himself as "The Voudoun," and he was infatuated with power. He wanted people to worship him as a god and kneel down before him. His fixation caused him to transcend Cagliostro's strength, which left Cagliostro with no choice but to seek for a solution. Cagliostro had to make it his purpose to find the Book of Vishanti since there was darkness, pestilence, and death wherever he turned.

It was general knowledge that the only way to defeat black magic was if you had all the nine elements of magic: Fire, Earth, Air, Water, Ice, Blood, Spirit, Light, and Darkness. 

There is an ancient creature that is said to possess all nine elements, which is called the nine-tailed fox; they say that it's so powerful that it could flatten mountains, create tsunamis, and drain the life force of whoever it chooses. Cagliostro was given this monster as the solution to his mission by the Book of Vishanti.

Cagliostro set out to find this creature in the northern part of Asia, in a mysterious bamboo forest that had a mind of its own. Despite the fact that this creature was born from light, it has a reputation for being impish due to the fact that it lived for centuries. 

It was already aware that he would be coming and was aware of his goals, but it intended to put him through a test to see whether or not he was worthy of it, giving him any of its time. The fox assumed the appearance of a beautiful woman and made an attempt to entice him with her charms. Cagliostro did not yield to its influence or give in to its seduction. Despite the fact that his old classmates teased him often for training how to resist temptation back then he always knew that one day, his life may rely on his ability to do so.

The fox couldn't believe that this meer human wouldn't bend to her charms and rejected her attractiveness, her ego was hurt, and she retaliated by calling The Mighty Cagliostro a cheater and they got into a dual, Cagliostro knew that the creature was more powerful than him so he never fought back. You can't beat a river into submission so they say. He just avoided her until she got bored of attacking him, which worked. Eventually the fox agreed and she joined Caliostro to defeat The Voudoun. One thing lead to another and yeah—

“Long story, short, The Fox defeated The Voudoun, and she locked him up in a pocket dimension, never to be seen again.” Wong finished telling his story, and you snickered from time to time as you felt Wong was getting lazy and uninterested in the ancient Sorcerer's love life that was somewhere in the story.

"So what happened with Cagliostro and the fox lady after that?" America asked, bringing up the subject Wong didn’t want to even elaborate on.

"The fox, well, she has never met anyone like Cagliostro, and during the course of her journey with him, she fell in love with the man. She was immortal and because she did not want to live a life without him when he got older, she decided to become a human. However, in order for her to do that, she needed to get rid of her powers, and as a result, they were blessed with nine children, each of whom represents each one of her powers.” Wong explained further to satisfy the child’s curiosity. 

“I think you may want to start digging up your family tree, (Y/N).” Wong added. You couldn’t answer him after all of the things he dumped on you.

“I don’t know where to start… ” You muttered, trying to remember if there was a time when anyone from your family mentioned anything about this.

“If you’re confused, you can start by asking questions and reading those books.” Wong advised and began wondering why, despite getting the first step to getting your answers, you look so confused.

Wanda will never come to terms with the fact that she was indeed living in a nightmare. Every day, waking up in this anguish just increased her longing to discover a world where everything she had ever wanted existed, her sons. Every day, she woke up in this misery where they weren’t in her arms. They were the one thing that had any significance. She had nothing left to lose in this world, seeing as how everything she had was now already gone from her. 

She would not stop at anything in her pursuit of the things she believed she rightfully deserved. The Darkhold had shown her the truth, and now she wondered why she should continue to suffer in this world when there was another where she might be happy.

When Wanda's phone began to ring on the nightstand next to her, it distracted her from the things that were occupying her mind. She answered the phone in a monotone voice and said, "Hello? I see. I always knew that he’s a very intelligent man, I had no doubt that he would figure it out. I’ll be ready for him.” After hanging up the phone, Wanda turned her attention to the horizon as she waited for Strange to pay her a short visit.

🌷 I’d like to request Andrew x female reader, Marry Me by Thomas Rhett ❤️

_marry me

andrew garfield x fem!reader

based on: marry me by thomas rhett

summary: andrew knows how much you want to get marry. but you are not marring him.

words: 813

a/n: when I saw the request, I thought it was going to be a sweet story. you should have seen my face when I listened to the song 😭 I hope you will love this ♥️

join my secret garden for my 1k celebration 🌸

When Andrew got the invite, he wondered if you send it to him by accident or if you really wanted him here. 

When it was clear that it wasn’t a mistake, he had to think if he really want to come. Did he really wanted to watch the woman he loved get married to someone else? But was he ready to leave you alone on that special day? None of these choices seemed like the good one to make.

Andrew never told you how much he loved you. He never had the courage to. You’ve been friends with each other since you met during a shooting. It was obvious for you two, you’ve always been close. Like you understood each other perfectly. Like nobody could ever get you the same way. 

It was easy for Andrew to fall for you. More than your look, he loved your personality. How you always seemed to be there for him, to find the right word or give the right advice when he needed them. How you were giving the best hug, it felt like home when you were taking him in your arms. No women managed to do that.

And there was that night. You were both drunk after spending the night together at an after party. You couldn’t find the key to your hotel room, so Andrew offered you to sleep with him. It wouldn’t be the first time you share the same bed.  What could have been a basic night between friends turned out…differently. 

You were lying next to each other, ready to fall asleep. You were clearly closer that you should be, but you were both too wasted to notice that. You fell asleep before he did. So, he felt you cuddling against him naturally, like this was your place. He let you sleep in his arms. Next morning, when Andrew thought this could mean something, you actually apologized. “I didn’t even realize I did that! I hope I didn’t bother you?” How could you, when you were all, he dreamt about?

Nothing happened after that night. Only a few weeks after that party, you announced him you were dating someone. And now here he was, wearing a black suit and black tie, at your wedding. With someone that wasn’t him.

You often told him how you hoped you would get married one day and how you imagined your wedding to be. One thing was sure, this wedding was exactly like you described it to Andrew in the past. He was happy that you were able to live that dream. But he wished it was his name on the board, not that man.

Andrew imagined what would happen if he was coming to you right now and told you how he felt. If he was confessing his love for you right now, would you run away? Would you accept it? He imagined how pretty you must be in your white dress, waiting for your big moment to happen. Just this thought convinced him that he couldn’t do that to you.

He loved you so much he would always favor your happiness. Your smile mattered more than his. 

The music started playing in the room. Everyone got up, waiting for the groom to come. Andrew kept looking in front of him. He couldn’t bear watching the man taking the place he always dreamt to have. He knew who was coming next. Discreetly, he took a sip of whiskey from his flask. He needed some strength to be able to see you without crying. Crying for your beauty. Crying from not being the man you loved enough to marry. 

He turned his head when you walked him. Just like he imagined you would be, you were a true angel. The beauty and the grace of an angel blessing the whole crowd here for you. Maybe that was the worst time of it. He was just another face in the crowd for you today. He fought hard to not crack and look strong. 

After the ceremony, he found a seat in the middle of the crowd. He wasn’t ready to see you, to speak to you. But it was doomed to happen. And when you looked at him, he knew it was the moment he would realize how far from him you were now.

“Andy, you came!” you ran to him and hug him tightly. For a few seconds, you managed to appease him. But not for long. You were still married to someone else. And you would never be his.

“Congratulations.” He had this sweet voice, the same tone he always had when he was talking to you. Maybe he was playing this time. If he was honest, his voice would be shaking, and he would tell you how much he wished he wasn’t there. But he didn’t. For you.

At least, you were happy.
