#my sister died like… a few days after that? and okay we were never close. we were estranged actually. hadn’t seen each other or spoken

[fingertipsmp3]

Like yeah I can absolutely be charming and personable when I need to be, but I have to be in the correct headspace first. Like I have to not be catatonically depressed about my dog dying and my sister dying and winter in the north being so bleak!!! Can we talk about it

[tims-shi]

tags: itoshi!sister, baby itoshi is named kei, fluff, sae and rin as older brothers, some spoilers for the u20 match !!, this is v self indulgent tbh 😭 kinda ooc characters im sorry

first post !! also not proofread lols again this is p much self indulgent oml ending is rushed my mind went blank,, i tend to coddle my baby cousins A LOT and ive been missing them these days so it led to this 😧

“hey prodigy boy, a little lady’s looking for you.” aiku announced, entering the break room with a miniscule smirk on his face.

sae merely raised a brow, coldly saying, “send them away.” aiku laughed, waving his hand in the air, “i can’t do that. she seems very persistent. i feel like she’ll cry if she gets sent away.”

getting annoyed, sae dropped his bag. rolling his eyes as he stomped his way out of the room. he opened the door, prepared to tell the tepid creature to scram off, only to be met with air.

“are you fucking with me, you selfish captain?” sae muttered to himself, about to close the door. pausing halfway when he hears small mutters.

“nii, up.” looking down, sae sees his little sister, no older than three years, looking up at him with raised arms. “kei,” sae lets out a grunt as he picks her up. running his eyes through her figure once she’s nested in his arms. quirking a brow at the familiar looking blue pentagon brooch pinned at her jacket. 

“why are you alone? where’s mom?”, sae interrogated, fingers tucking her maroon locks behind her ear. “i’m with nanny. told her i’ll be back.” kei replied, fiddling with the string around her brother’s neck.

“okay, you’ve seen me. now go back to nanny.”

“no! wan’ see rin-nii, too.” kei whined, arms tightening around sae when he tried to put her down.  at the mention of the name, sae’s face scrunched up, reminded of the not-so-good relationship he has with his brother. “do you know your way? i can’t bring you there ‘cause my manager’s looking for me.” at that, kei nodded. placing her palms on his face and kissing his cheek before wriggling down his hold. “do you have your phone? i’ll text your nanny where you are. stay safe, alright?” sae crouched down, pinching her cheek.

“i will. bye-bye!” kei waved at him before dashing off to where her rin-nii could be.

—

kei’s lost. at first she was confident she’ll reach her rin-nii in record time, but after a few turns in this maze of a facility, kei’s starting to lose hope. tears brimming at her eyes, letting out sniffles.

—

with blue lock winning the match against japan’s u20, it’s safe to say the excitement hasn’t really died down. now done with showering and freshening up, the athletes are now on their way to the cafeteria, where a feast is waiting for them, as anri said. 

“that was a fun match! i’ve never played a match with so many talented players before! hell! i wasn’t even expecting we were gonna win!” bachira babbled excitedly. at his chatter, chigiri’s brows furrowed, “what do you mean you weren’t inspecting us to–”

“do you guys hear that?”, isagi hushed them. 

“...hear what?” reo asked. “it’s like someone’s crying” isagi answered, looking around for a person crying?

“is that a child?” nagi, who had been silent throughout the walk, pointed out the small figure not too far from them. bachira, ever the happy person, approached the crying child. “hi! are you okay? why is a little girl like you crying?” he asked, now on his knees in front of the child.

“can’t find my nii. ‘m lost.” kei muttered. feeling comfortable with the stranger before her, she went closer to him, hands now gripping his shirt.

“do you want us to help you find your brother?” this time, it was chigiri who asked. also crouched in front of her as he wiped her tear-stained face. “wan’ my nii.” the little girl uttered out, cries gone and was left sniffling. 

as bachira and chigiri were comforting the little girl, reo can’t help but feel familiar with the child. has he seen her before? he can’t really recall. looking over at isagi, it seems like he has the same thoughts as well.

“doesn’t she look like rin-chan? so cute!” bachira exclaimed, now holding kei in his arms, cooing at her cheeks. hearing her brother’s name, kei perked up. eyes twinkling at bachira, silently pleading to lead her to her brother. 

“oh? is he your nii?” when kei nodded, bachira turned to isagi and handed him the child. “isagi will bring you to your brother. right, isagi?” 

while panicking inside, isagi couldn’t help but sigh softly when kei looks at him expectantly. “i’ll take her to rin. save us some food.” isagi bid them goodbye. over his shoulders, kei waved at the group of boys left behind. 

—

“what’s your name?” isagi sparked up a conversation, the awkward silence getting to him. “kei and ‘m three!”

“what’s your name?” kei asked him, resting her head on his shoulders. “me? i’m isagi. i play soccer. do you play soccer, kei?” 

“no, can’t push the ball by myself.” kei pouted, recalling the times she tried to do the sport both her brothers love. “then you have to eat a lot so you get strong and kick the ball by yourself.” isagi told her, a palm resting on her back.

“we’re here. are you good by yourself?” isagi put her down. kei nodded at him, smiling at him in gratitude. “thank you, ‘sagi.” 

—

rin can’t help but be disappointed. at himself or at his brother? he’s not entirely sure. maybe he’s angry instead? he doesn’t know surely, too. sat alone in the break room with a towel over his head, rin curses inwardly as multiple thoughts run over his head. small pats on his knee made him look up. as teal eyes meet with another set of teal eyes, rin wasn’t expecting to see his little sister in here. let alone, by herself. “kei, are you alone?”, rin hushed out, picking her up and settling him on his lap, facing his body. 

“wan’ see rin-nii. miss rin-nii.” despite his cold demeanor, it’s no doubt that itoshi rin has a soft spot for his sister. always the sweet and loving child she is, unaware of the darkest sides of the world as she keeps lighting up every corner of their home and their hearts.

“rin-nii missed you too. have you eaten yet?” rin hummed, tugging kei closer and fixing a part of her hair that got messed up.

“i cooked my lunch! nanny helped me with the stove but i made my lunch by myself.” kei puffed up her chest, boasting about her blooming skills in the kitchen. “that so? should we go to the cafeteria? i think they have your favorite.”

“what we waiting for? let’s go! hurry!” with eyes gleaming at the sound of food, kei got off and started pulling her brother’s hand. “you wait here, i’ll just freshen up.” rin told her, arms under her arms as he sat her on the bench.

“rin-nii.” kei called out. “yeah?”

“can i sit with ‘sagi?” 

“WHAT?”

Oh god okay here we go

Why must I go into heavy detail you ask? Well, I am actually unable to shut up so here it is them 10 TOP “there’s no chance this is a straight friendship” MOMENTS

“You can have my back any day” aka the enemies to lovers speedrun. The immediate feeling we’re supposed to get from the screen is jealousy. Buck is jealous of the new recruit because he’s hot, a medic, a veteran, whatever. I’ll give it to you children, he WAS jealous. But then they go on call and they get into immediate danger bc 911 is a drama and then Eddie’s very keen on being Buck’s partner. Nothing queer til then right? WRONG. Eddie’s line is pretty normal but the way Buck reacts isn’t. I have had my fair share of “huh this person I didn’t like is actually cool” moments but nEVER have I once sucked in a breath, forgot how to blink, rushed in my words OR stared at said person like I’d like for them to be my lover. Three points to Gayfindor.

“Is your son REALLY the reason you don’t date?” This line and the dialogue that follows makes absolutely no sense from the non-queer glass. Alright he asks bc he wants to know why two girls practically launched themselves at him and he declined (such a kind offer lmao) but… why are you standing so close? Why do you bump shoulders with him as you walk? Most importantly, what the FUCK does Eddie’s smirk mean after “they’re not my type either… not anymore.” Idk about you guys but when I’m not on the market I’m actually not in it 😀 and I don’t go around looking at my best friend like I’d consider fucking her (I’m actually kinda yikes about that thought bc she’s like my sister). Bottom line is: if you’re willing to fuck your best friend, there’s attraction. That scenes oozes attraction and I’d be willing to white glove challenge a body language reader.

The Tsunami. YES okay, there are far many moments in between but I also need to make this a somewhat readable list so here we go. We’re gonna pretend for a hot second Buck wants to save his best friend’s son, and not the child that he considers his own bc I’m tired. Let’s skip to the far end of this (be GrAtEfuL I’m skipping the whole sacrifice that this episode entailed. Buck was willing to die, to never sit down again if it meant looking for Chris [& the utter fear he has to face Eddie]. It’s a lot). Now, I do not OWN a child (thank god) but if I did, I wouldn’t be particularly comfortable with a simple friend from work taking care of them. They could be my very best friend from work and I’d still feel a little icky -at least nervous- about it. Yet Eddie not only takes Christopher back A F T E R the tsunami (Chris could’ve died and Eddie is nothing short of apprehensive), but he says ‘there’s no one I trust with my son more than you’. Um. Not his wife. Not his family (CHRIS’ family), not Abuela, not Tia Pepa. Buck. Who he… just met? Surely it isn’t bc he’s uncle buck… I don’t believe even Maddie has said that to Buck, where he’s actually, yknow, UNCLE BUCK. Co-parenting is not something done between a parent and a friend, and I know this shit bc my mom raised me with a few of her friends and guys,,, she never said that to any of them. Also Chris is practically never seen with anyone else from the 188firefam alone.

The Kitchen Scene™️. I have gone on rants about this before but truth be told THIS is the scene that conveys the MOST canonically sexual tension between them. We can joke about it all y’all want but this scene is unhinged. I don’t think Oliver and Ryan were aware that they should’ve been friends in this scene. The way the conversation shifts from apologetic sad puppy eyes to “you’re throwing your punches at the wrong guy” to I CAN TAKE YOU (???) you can what? “Oh you think?” “Oh I know” HELLO? Pls don’t even get me started on how Buck approaches Eddie, the way he’s puffy-chested, his hand on his belt, eyeing him up and down, nearly biting his lip, cocky grin,,,,, explain to me in hetero. I’m waiting😐 guys c’mon exPLAIN IT TO ME IN HETERO. The way Eddie glances to the side bc where’s Chris? And h o w he sips his beer right after, smirking, tiLTING His head. I’m sorry this is not straight in any way. I’m sorry you’re gonna have to accept this.

Clipboard Buck. Alright u got me!!! This one’s a lil silly, but so is my life, so it’s fair game. Clipboard Buck is annoying as fuck, he’s so fucking annoying. The entire firefam picks up on this, no one wants to be around,,,, except Eddie. You could argue that it’s bc he likes him as a friend and he’s just indulging …. 👁️👄👁️ sure but he also hides from Interim Captain Han soooo anyway what’s fun about this is how willing Eddie is to comply with everything he says. He’s basically twirling his hair, kicking his feet, smiling & blushing and “check!” 🧍🏽‍♀️ buck is kinky (that is canon e.g the ring cutter) and he gets high on authority and Eddie does backflips to meet his kinks. Exhibit 5 complete.

The Lawsuit Arc acka the first divorce era😔✊🏼. This one makes me rage a little bit because I get really upset at Buck for acting recklessly. Like baby let yourself HEAL. Anyway,,,, onto what brings us here 🥷🏼. It’s canon that the entire team is mad at Buck, they don’t really wanna bump into him, can’t really speak to him,,, but Eddie? Eddie’s filled with wrath. I cannot stress enough the fact that he uses Chris as an excuse “do you even know how much he misses you? how could you! you’re not here”. The way he expresses himself, and we’re choosing to ignore the fact that he HIMSELF misses Buck,, that’s how you talk to someone who has a responsibility with the child, not the fun coworker that randomly shows up @ your house with pizza every once in a while. “I couldn’t even call you to bail me out of jail”. He’s so u p s e t that for the first time they know each other he can’t rely on Buck when he’s hurting and in danger. And pls for the love of Jesus Christ my lord & savior don’t tell me that it’s a 118 thing bc he calls Ronda Rousey to come pick him up 🎅🏻 that grocery store scene is.. interesting.

Eddie Underground. Alright we’re getting serious now guys,,, might as well put on your thinking caps on this one. We all know the story, this isn’t a latest ep recap soooo The wAY Buck’s the ONLY ONE who desperately calls Eddie’s name when he’s fallen underground, amidst the heavy rain and dirt. Listen to me: he starts digging with his hands. With his bare hands I tell you!!!! 😩 Bobby has to physically pull him back as he cries on his lap. Buck is a smart man, he wouldn’t do something that’s completely illogic, he knows he can’t dig him out but he’s so desperate. His voice breaks, he can’t breathe, he becomes impulsive, reckless, impatient. Do I need to remind y’all the reason he wasn’t the one getting strapped to go underground??? “You’re not going down there. So we can have two cut off ropes?” Everyone knows he’s willing to sacrifice his integrity for Eddie bc his life doesn’t make sense without him. “We’ll get him back for you”

The Shooting + “I’ve made u my son’s dad lol”. When Eddie gets shot the world freezes for Buck. He’s left standing there, staring as Eddie’s blood splatters on him. He has to be tackled down. Even then, he’s unable to move, to breathe. He just looks as he bleeds out, and theN he snaps back into reality, bracing himself to go under the truck (foregoing his own trauma - I’ve said this before) and preparing for the amount of strength it’s gonna take to pull him under it. He screams at him to hold on, and later when he manages to pull him inside the truck he tells him he needs him to hang on. He rips his uniform open, he cries and screams,,, then Eddie wakes up, and he asks BUCK if HES okay. Bc he saw blood :( also as @butraura pointed out, he can’t die if Buck’s dying bc what about Chris? He only lets himself drift off when he knows Buck’s okay. Then we got The Will Reveal™️ also so unhinged. “You knew I wouldn’t turn it down” right what is this guys??? That was a year ago. He added him to his will A yEaR aGo. Idk about y’all but I haven’t added my friends to my will😀 also Buck’s the one who tells Chris ??? (I’m being very brief on this subject). Also “Because, Evan” shut up🧎🏽‍♀️

& 10. The Lightning Strike + “She sees me”. I’m doing these together bc I haven’t watched this episodes yet but I’m an addict so I’ve spoiled myself to the brim. The way Eddie screams Buck’s name, the way he saves him, “do more” h e l l o ?? The absolute PAIN in Eddie’s eyes, “you died Buck” “3 minutes and 17 seconds”, “his humor hasn’t changed” & the fact that he listens to Buck on his super genius math theory. And then Buck goes and says “I feel like Natalia sees me” ok. I mean my feelings mean nothing but Eddie’s face ??? That’s a man that knows he’s waited too long.

I rest my case. I’m missing a lot of scenes (like a lot omg Abby comes back, Buck under the Truck, Buck vomiting blood, the Taylor Arc) & y’all can argue in the comments about them, or add shit or try to dismantle mine, honestly the floor is yours idc wHat u do, just know you won’t convince me otherwise 🤸🏽these two are in love & that’s pretty much that on THAT. PERIOD.

A/n: oh. My. Gosh. I feel like I wrote this horribly. I could not for the life of me get the beginning down. Thank you for all who encouraged me to write a second part. I am thinking of doing a third which will definitely include smut. Lmk if that’s something you guys want

Constructive criticism is always appreciated, likes, comments, reblogs and requests are welcomed ❗️

Rafe turned around to continue with his girl but she was no where to be found. He searched the whole house. The bathroom, the bedroom which he quickly regretted because there were two people having sex right on toppers parents bed. The party died down and eventually he gave up. Fuck! How could he fuck this up already. The next day he lay in bed, thinking about her. Her lips. Her eyes. Oh how close he was to her lips. He could just imagine the taste of her coconut gloss. The way her hair smelled. It was a distinguished smell, engraved in his brain. He could never forget it. It was his new favorite smell. He got the courage to pull himself out of bed, hair ruffled and shirtless he went downstairs, only to be met with the girl he was just thinking about.

“Good morning Rafe” Sarah said as she and her friend indulged over some breakfast. “Hi” he said, his smiling softening when his eyes met hers. “This is y/n, she slept here after toppers party last night.” She was here? In his house. The whole time.

“Uh Rafe ” Rafe acted inconspicuous as he reintroduced himself to her. Sarah gave Rafe a stern look as she spotted the way he looked at her. He noticed his sisters stare and shrugged his shoulders. He grabbed an apple from the bowl and walked out of the kitchen, gatching a glimpse of y/n and winking.

A few hours later

“Rafe” a soft voice spoke on the opposite side of his door. He smirked at the familiar voice. He opened the door to be faced with her. “Long time no see” he grinned as she stood shyly in front of him, maybe there was still some innocence in her. “I just wanted to say, the other night-“

“You mean when you ran?” His tone was condescending but he didn’t mean it like that. Only realizing how rude he was when he saw her face drop in disappointment. “You know, whatever. I wanted to apologize but forget it” she turned around, only to be pulled back my her wrist. “I’m sorry y/n. I didn’t mean for that to be so harsh.” His eyes were soft and full of desperation. It was clear that she had some effect on him. She could make him angry and in the blink of an eye take that anger away. “It’s okay” she looked into his eyes and was lost in the blue of them. They way they sparkled and gleamed. There was also this darkness behind them that entranced her, she wanted to know more about him. To feel him and connect with him.

“Maybe we should reenact that night” she bit her lip as his tongue swiped over his bottom lip, a sly smirk raising the corners of his mouth. “I think we should” his lips landed gently against hers. This tongue swiping over her teeth, asking for permission to enter. Of course she granted. Their tongues clashing and dancing. They both pulled back to catch their breath and smiles plastered on their faces was enough to describe how mind blowing that kiss was. “That was-“ she started. Rafe leaned into her ear. “If you think my tongues that good in your mouth, just wait till it’s in your pussy”

Part 3

[rainstorms-moonrivers]

okay so I feel like I should clear a few things up from the “true villains of red queen” post, because I didn’t articulate my point well and people replied with valid criticisms.

Okay so someone (I don’t remember their name I’m sorry) commented about how Julian couldn’t really say anything about Elara and Maven to Tiberias the Older (I don’t remember what number he was sorry) because after his sister died Julian didn’t really have standing in court, he was just the royal librarian and his love got her tongue removed just for knowing what Elara did. So yes I accept it I was wrong, he had a pretty good reason not to say anything.

When I said Julian was at fault for what happened to Maven, I wasn’t trying to say he was entirely at fault. That’s my fault for not making that clear, I read the post back and yeah I could’ve worded it better. What I was trying to say was yes, Elara is entirely at fault for the abuse Maven suffered, she is the abuser. I just wanted to have like I don’t know a conversation about how Julian and Anabel contributed in a small way to Elara’s ability to enact that abuse. Not saying what happened to Maven was entirely their fault and I’m not excusing Tiberias the Older’s hand in it either, I think I said in an earlier post that his neglect also heavily contributed to Maven’s abuse. It’s just abuse is complicated thing right? There are a lot of components to it, and I just wanted to highlight that. No it wasn’t Julian’s fault that Elara abused her son.

I was just trying to point out how Julian’s and Maven’s relationship might’ve contributed to her being able to emotional abuse her son. I mean Julian and Maven don’t have a good relationship, even before Mare gets to the palace. The first thing Julian tells Mare is that Maven’s “his mother’s son.” So you can assume they’ve never really gotten along. But you can’t assume it’s because “Maven and Elara were trying usurp Cal” because they themselves said they only started scheming for the throne when Mare arrived, and Maven, despite not being able to feel love for Cal, still felt something close to it and had a somewhat decent relationship with Cal that he would hold onto in his own way until he spares Cal the pain of “killing his little brother” by pretending the boy he was supposed to be was never there in the first place So at least I assumed that wasn’t why Julian didn’t like Maven. The only other reason was because of what happened to Sara and his sister. Which when you think about it is crazy considering Maven wasn’t even born when that happened. But Julian can’t hold Elara accountable for it, she’s the queen, and he’s just a librarian, but he can in a way hold her son accountable for it. That’s all I was trying to say.

so no. I don’t think Julian is entirely at fault for Maven’s abuse. I’m not saying it’s all Julian’s fault that Elara abused Maven. I was just trying to have a conversation about how Julian and Anabel might’ve contributed to Elara’s means of abuse by giving her things like favoritism (on Anabel’s part) to manipulate Maven with. Just like Maven’s father did by neglecting his youngest son even though he did love Maven without being able to show it.

I’m open for a further conversation about this in the comments, and yeah, if you disagree that’s fine, we all have our opinions so yeah have a great day and thanks for reading this super long post

@elucienweekofficial Day 7: AU

Read on Ao3 // Chapter II // Event Masterlist

Summary: Elain doesn't need a pack bond to be satisfied as an omega. She's perfectly content being mated to Azriel alone and their solo bond had never been a problem. That is until Elain's heat cycle arrives ahead of schedule and her alpha is half way around the world with no way home.

Luckily for them, their very good friend and roommate, Lucien, is willing to step in until Azriel can get home to help her.

CW: Smut

AN: The smut in this chapter is all Elucien. If you don't like Eluzriel, you can treat this as a oneshot.

Chapter I

“I can’t believe you’ll be gone for a week. I thought Rhys was supposed to deal with all of the overseas stuff. You know, as the CEO.” 

Maybe that wasn’t quite fair. Ever since his father had died the poor guy had been stuck with a ridiculous number of company problems that would have had Elain shutting the thing down and starting from scratch. But one by one, the man had been putting out every fire he faced. All while being a near perfect husband and father, spoiling her sister and their adorable infant rotten. 

Azriel sighed, voicing her own thoughts. “He needs to be here for Feyre and Nyx for the time being. A week away… I’m sorry angel. Believe me, I would stick somebody else on this if that was an option. Plus—” He grinned. “—you have Lucien and Vassa to keep you company while I’m gone.”

“You know that’s not the same.” She winced. “Sorry. I don’t know why I’m being so whiny about this.”

He stepped away from his half-full duffle bag, his face softening. “You don’t have to apologize to me, Elain. Separation has never been easy for us and that’s okay.” She’d heard the reason behind that about a thousand times since she presented. “Once you bond an alpha, distance for an extended period will be difficult. Most omegas choose to pack bond to help with the separation anxiety.” So on and so on. Elain still thought she sounded utterly pathetic. She knew walking into this relationship that she wouldn’t always be able to travel with him. 

“A few months ago we discussed—”

“You are enough, Azriel. Yes, traveling is difficult when I can’t join you, but I don’t need another alpha.”

“If you fear offending me, Elain, I wouldn’t offer something like this if I wasn’t sincere. Pack bonds are something I welcome.” 

“You’re the only one I want,” she insisted again. “The only one I need.” Standing on her toes to press a kiss to his cheek, she closed the topic of discussion. “I’ll be fine. Like you said, I’ll have Lucien and Vassa for company.” 

Vassa was an acquaintance through Lucien, though she’d only met the girl last year. Still, they’d immediately become friends, making weekend plans together and the like. Lucien was another story. Growing up in the same town and being a close friend to Elain’s younger sister, the pair of them had gone from knobby-kneed acquaintances to friends in their middle school years to an inseparable pair in high school. Though she’d never admit it out loud, in that last year of schooling together, Elain had started to see something else in the redhead. She still remembered what she had told her sisters when the pair started to puzzle out the shift in atmosphere between Lucien and Elain. “He’s objectively attractive,” she had said. “But he’s only my friend.”

Lucien had made that clear the day he asked her to help him execute his promposal to Jesminda a few weeks before the dance. She was firmly in the friendzone and there to stay. And that was just fine. She was blissfully head-over-heels for Azriel now, Lucien nothing more than their objectively attractive roommate.

That had been a shocker to say the least. She and Azriel had their whirlwind romance just a few months after Feyre introduced them. They’d hit things off and six months later they were officially mated and planned on moving her out of her apartment and into his, especially since it was actually closer to her shop. 

When Azriel’s “smartass roommate” had pulled up to her house to help move her belongings across town, she’d been utterly speechless. Her chosen mate and high school crush side by side, apparently the best of friends. The first few days of their cohabitation had been… interesting. At least for Elain. The redhead hadn’t seemed bothered in the slightest, and rent was better split three ways than two.

“I have to be out early to catch my flight and be in time for the meeting,” Az told her, pulling her back into their current conversation. “You might still be sleeping.”

She nodded. “I’ll be fine.” He frowned again. “Honestly, what kind of problem could I find in a week that I can’t solve on my own?”

~~~~~

Not much in the beginning. The first night Vassa had come over for a girls’ night in. The second Lucien had come home from work at lunchtime and, noting that Elain had left her flower shop to her trusted managers that day, declared an official movie marathon. He’d prepared half a dozen snacks to share and bundled her up with twice as many blankets and pillows in their makeshift movie fort.

She’s found it amusing, if a little strange. “You know I don’t need a second nest, right, Lucien?” she’d jested, even as she found herself instinctively reaching to adjust the pillows just so.

“Az isn’t here,” he’d explained. “I don’t have an omega of my own to take care of. Give me this, won’t you?”

She hadn’t argued further, even if she wasn’t entirely convinced of his excuse. When she thought about it, the movie night feast was hardly the first time he’d spoiled her. There must be some truth behind his instincts as a provider.

The next morning she heard the door open and shut at seven forty-five as always, but this time there was a full breakfast plate on the table for her. Pancakes, fresh bacon, and eggs—scrambled, not fried because it was the only way she could stomach them—waited at the dining table, a scrap of paper beside it. 

A handful of granola is not a substantial meal. At least get some protein in you this morning. Have a good day.

She rolled her eyes. She didn’t need Lucien mother-henning her because Az was away. But she sat down at the table anyway. Only because it would be a criminal offense to waste bacon cooked just to her liking and the eggs were fluffy in that way only Lucien seemed capable of achieving between the three of them.

Huffing only to make herself feel better, Elain dropped her work bag, picking up her fork and tucking her napkin into her lap. She was a business owner. Her managers had keys. She could be a few minutes late. Just this once.

~~~~~

Elain’s phone pinged as she wrapped up her closing routine that evening, showing part of a message from her sister. 

You’re closing soon, right? Wanna do something tonight? I can banish Rhys, make him hang out with Cass for the night.

Elain snorted at the suggestion, even if she was considering the offer. Her sister hadn’t been extending or accepting any sort of invitations for several months, especially having spent a few weeks after her son’s birth in the NICU. She and Rhys weren’t germaphobes, but they were cautious. And Rhys… He was worse about hovering than Az and Lucien combined nowadays.

And how long will he actually stay banished? Do you plan on confiscating his house keys?

Hilarious.

Give me a bit to finish this and change. I’ll be there in an hour. <3

Setting down the phone, she finished wiping the counters and hurried home, waving to Lucien who sat on the couch binging a show he’d recently discovered. “I’m heading to Feyre’s for the evening. Don’t wait up for me.” Halfway out the door again, she turned to look over her shoulder. “Thank you. For breakfast this morning. You didn’t have to do that.”

“No need to thank me, little one. I’m happy to do it. Have fun with your sister. Give her a hug for me.”

“I will.” His words settled over her the moment the door snicked shut. No need to thank me, little one. The endearment didn’t bother her as much as it probably should have. All things considered, it wasn’t truly intimate. It was just… she wasn’t sure what excuse to make for him this time, but she knew that he’d never try to intrude on what she and Az had built. It was just a slip of the tongue, she was sure.

So why was she still thinking about it when she arrived at her sister’s apartment complex? The door swung open before she could raise her fist to knock. “—anything goes wrong, you call me. Anything, Feyre.”

“Rhys.”

“Feyre.” 

“Good evening,” Elain interrupted, partly because this would turn very awkward very quickly, and partly to spare her sister from another lecture on her wellbeing. 

Sighing, her brother in law leaned down to kiss Feyre. “If she seems the least bit stressed, Elain—”

“I’ll let you know. But we’ll be fine. Good night, Rhys.” 

Feyre chuckled when Elain shut the door on him, already heading for the sofa where she—more likely Rhys, under her direction—had set up a movie night spread to rival Lucien’s the night prior. Twin take out boxes sat on the coffee table beside what she assumed were virgin margaritas, since her sister was breastfeeding Nyx.

“Is it a Potter night, or are we feeling rom-coms?”

“Rom-coms, I guess.”

Feyre pursed her lips. “What’s with the voice?”

“Voice?”

“We reconnected nearly two years ago. By now I know when something’s bothering you, Elain. Spill.” She took a bite of her dinner, dodging the question. “Elain.”

“Lucien’s been acting weird.”

“Weird?”

“The last couple days. Since Az left.”

Feyre rolled her eyes. “Oh, please, Elain. He’s an alpha.” Elain frowned. “Your mate, his best friend, is halfway across the world at the moment. He isn’t going to try to make a move on you, but he’s going to step up and take care of you until Az gets back. Cass does the same thing to me. Az used to before I introduced you guys.”

“I considered that, but…”

“But?”

Elain shrugged. “Az has brought up pack bonding a few times. Because of the travel, mostly.”

“He wouldn’t have approached Lucien about it without your consent, Elain.”

“No, but if the door was cracked or we were discussing it when Lucien was coming into the house, he could have heard.”

“And?” Sighing, Feyre set down her take out box, fully facing her. “Elain, would it be the end of the world? Can I—Look, I’m going to say a few things and I just want you to listen. If tomorrow morning you decide to take it with a grain of salt, fine. But just promise you’ll think on it, okay?” Elain nodded. “Look, if you weren’t considering this, you wouldn’t be so worried about it. And whatever you try to claim, you were crushing on Lucien in high school. It was obvious to everyone but him. And he wasn’t any better off when it came to you.”

“Jesminda—” 

“Was a sweet little beta. Uncomplicated. Not someone he had the chance of ruining his friendship with. You two lost touch after graduation, but that didn’t burn any bridges. Being mated to Az put a hold on things, but bonds can expand after a couple settles into their relationship. People, you know, experiment.”

Feyre blushed slightly at that, piquing Elain’s interest. “A confession if I’ve ever heard one. Who were you experimenting with, Feyre?”

“You don’t know him. Helion, he’s a friend of Rhys’. Things didn’t click with us, but I’d say your chances with Az and Lucien are much higher. Talk to Az when he gets back. It could work out better than you expect.”

~~~~~

The trouble arrived on the fourth evening, midway through the Facetime call she’d opened in the living room. “I finally got to go see Feyre and the baby. Rhys only gave us a couple hours of girl time, but it was still fun.” 

Az chuckled. “That’s Rhys for you, overbearing bastard.”

“Because you’re so much better, aren’t you, Az?” Lucien called from the kitchen. A moment later he joined her on the couch, setting two pints of ice cream beside the laptop. “Rhys is going to be laughing at the both of you when you have a kid of your own, I’m sure.”

Elain swatted his arm, draping her throw blanket over the back of the couch when it started getting too hot. That ice cream was going to be a blessing, honestly. Picking up her pint, she let the boys carry the conversation for the time being. It was better they did. She’d felt a little off since she woke up and only seemed to be getting worse by the minute. And the crawling heat… Her regulation had always been bad and she was normally piling on blankets, even in the summer months. 

All the pieces were finally fitting together and if the look Lucien was turning on her told her anything, it was that he could already scent the shift. “Guys, you good?”

“Just fine,” she claimed.

Lucien sighed, shaking his head at her. “Wrong time to leave the country, man. Elain’s heat is here early.”

Az cursed. “Can you get her settled in her nest and stay with her for a while, please?”

“Of course.”

“Thanks. I’ll figure out how I can postpone things here.”

“Don’t, Az. I’ll—I’ll be f-fine.” 

He scowled back at the camera. “I’d believe that, angel, if we had a pack bond. Let  Lucien help you until I can get there.” He focused on their roommate for a moment. “I have to account for the storm warnings too. Flights have been delayed.”

“Anything she needs, I’m here,” Lucien promised.

Az nodded sharply. “Get settled in before it gets any worse. Keep me updated. I love you, Elain.”

Lucien cut the call, lifting her in his arms only a moment later. Her pride demanded she walk, but she wasn’t stupid. If he set her down it wouldn’t be on steady legs. It was better this way. More efficient, that’s all.

“What was that?” Elain panted. “The end of the call. You and Az—Oh, God.”

“Shh.” He pushed into the room she shared with Az. “Don’t worry about a thing, little dove. Whatever you need in your heat, you’ll get.”

“Not whatever I need,” she snipped without thinking. “I’m not getting a knot tonight.” Lucien frowned, giving her the privacy she needed to change into something lighter and rearrange the pillows and blankets around her. He was gone just long enough for the embarrassment at her statement to sink in.

But why should she be embarrassed? He might not have a mate, but it was no secret what omegas required.

Since she sat at the edge of her nest rather than the heart of it at the moment, Lucien seemed comfortable tending to her from just outside of it, pressing a cool cloth to her skin and stroking her hair. “You know,” he murmured, “you could have a knot tonight, Elain. If that’s what you want.” The words settled between them slowly, like a stone plunking down into a pond. Or maybe that was just the heat fog setting into her brain, everything a bit muddled with it. “You wanted to know what the end of our conversation was about, right?”

“I—Yes.”

“That’s all there is to it, little one. If you decide you want me to knot you, Az trusts me to take care of you.” Dunking and ringing out the rag again, he dragged it down her neck, his hand steady as he swiped just above her nightgown’s neckline. “If you don’t, then I won’t. You know the facts. He’s getting here as fast as possible, but the storms have been bad enough that flights are being delayed and canceled.”

She considered his offer. After all, what did she really fear, when her relationship with Azriel was as secure as it was? This was a short term solution that wouldn’t be addressed again once her heat had passed. Her childhood crush was hardly a swaying factor here and neither one of them ever needed to know of it.

“Little dove.” She shivered at the endearment, nodding her head. Looking almost relieved, Lucien hurried to settle in beside her and pull her into his arms. It didn’t seem so wrong, all things considered. And she had to admit, it did more to sooth her than any cold rag would. “That’s it,” he murmured, letting her nuzzle against his neck to take in his scent. She let out a soft sigh, thighs parting enough for him to slide his leg up between them. If she just sank down… “Just like that.”

Pleasure started to temper the cramping pain that had built, a liquid heat pooling deep within her. “Lucien.”

“I know, sweetheart.” His hands locked on her hips, guiding her to grind down on his thigh. The cut of her nightgown was short enough that the fabric he had bunched in his grip lifted the hem, leaving only his sweats as a barrier between them. “Take what you need, little dove.”

“I’m sorry,” she whimpered against his neck.

“None of that. What could possibly be wrong with a sweet little thing like you leaving a mess on my thigh?” She sucked in a sharp breath, his scent washing over her yet again. She was all but drunk on it, driving her that much closer to her release. “Elain.” That ache deep inside of her started to throb again, craving, insistent. She gave a little huff, frustrated. Just when she started to reach down between them, Lucien’s hand was there, his thumb stroking over her clit just how she needed it. “That’s it, sweetheart. Let go.”

She plunged over the edge, clenching hard over nothing and all the more frustrated for it. “Hurts.” Lips dragging down his neck, Elain shifted back far enough to tug at his waistband, albeit clumsily.

Catching her hands, Lucien rolled them over, somehow doing away with her nightgown in the process. She groaned. Why the hell wasn’t he undressing? “I know, sweet girl.” Two fingers slid into her, knuckle deep, setting a slow rhythm that just managed to take the edge off. His free hand came up to tug his shirt off from the collar, his fingers retreating only long enough to pull the sleeve over his hand. “I know.”

His mouth sealed over hers, quelling any anxiety that may have remained. The next time he pulled away he was finally as bare as she was, every inch of him exposed for her to assess. Not that Elain was all that capable of comprehensive thinking at the moment.

Honestly, she didn’t care about much at the moment. Other than the fact her current company was an alpha capable and willing to knot her. “Please, please, please.”

The tip pressed into her a moment later, any other words lost to that first slow stroke as Lucien eased into her one inch at a time. Another flash of heat washed over her, that first taste of his cock driving her body to demand more, more, more. She sobbed, walking the tightrope of pain and pleasure when their hips finally met. “I’m sorry, sweet girl,” he murmured, stroking her sweaty hair back. “You’re doing so well, little dove.” It was a small mercy when he started to rock his hips, building the distance and pressure of each thrust at an agonizing pace. “My good girl. My perfect girl.”

She clenched tight around him, thighs trembling in his grip, trying and failing to not think about how perfectly she seemed to fit against him. His hands cradling her legs, keeping her steady with every thrust, the feeling of his mouth on hers or tracing down the line of her throat. The croon of his voice in her ear. The way she yearned to hear the next bit of praise fall from his lips.

Natural.

That’s what she had felt over a year ago with Az. And here she was again. Maybe something could be said for pack bonds after all. But then, Azriel had never made suggestions as to who he would consider welcoming as a second alpha.

“Elain.” She opened her eyes, looking up at Lucien. “Stop thinking so damn hard. Everything is going to work out how it should. Trust me.”

Even if she’d wanted to argue, she didn’t have the chance to. Not when his next thrust knocked the very air from her lungs. “Lucien. More.”

“Tell me what you need, little dove. You’ll have it.”

“Please.” The steady grind he’d set into halted altogether and she wailed, nails sinking into his muscled shoulders as punishment. “Please.”

“Please what, Elain?”

“Fill me up. Knot me. Please, Alpha, I need your knot.” 

He shuddered above her, pressing a kiss to her brow, then her mouth. “Good girl.”

The tender praise washed over her once again and with her mind and senses caught in that haze, she had to rely on feeling alone, unable to do more than surrender to the wave of pleasure his attention had built to. His knot started to swell against her and she whined, half-fearing that this wouldn’t end with him locked inside of her. “Come for me, Elain.”

Locking her legs behind his back, she tried to pull him deeper. Lucien sighed. “Perhaps it was too much to hope you could do as you’re told.” Pulling out completely, he flipped her on her front, pushing back into her in one brutal thrust. Elain broke beneath him, too wound up to do anything but fall into that roiling bliss for the second time. He let her flail a moment, adjusting to the new angle even as she clenched around him. “That wasn’t so hard, was it?” she heard somewhere beyond the fog plaguing her. 

She had the vague sense of her wrists being crossed behind her back, but she didn’t have much hope of getting a clear image on what Lucien was doing with her body and mind in such a state. Especially as he started to thrust into her, each stroke less sure than the one before. God, he hadn’t let her recover from that orgasm before he had her soaring towards the next. 

“I can’t,” she sobbed.

“One more for me, love. One more time as you take my knot. My sweet omega. I know you can do it for me, little dove. Just one more.”

And she did. The very moment he locked inside of her she fell into that third blinding climax, undoubtedly looking an absolute wreck as she writhed beneath him, only sated when he finally came inside of her. His grip on her wrists went slack and he rolled slightly so they were both laying on their sides, locked together, blind and deaf to anything beyond the feeble bond starting to make itself known.

“Lucien.”

“Rest, little dove. I’m not going anywhere.”

She was just present enough to register Lucien reaching across her to pick a sweatshirt from the edge of her nest. The instinct to scold him for meddling with her careful arrangement faded the moment he worked it over her head, Azriel’s familiar scent instantly soothing her. Did it not bother him, seeing her in another alpha’s clothes when he was the one taking care of her? “Stop thinking so hard,” he said for the second time that night. “Your mind and body both need rest. I’ll be here with you the whole time.”

“The whole time?”

She felt him smile against her cheek before placing a soft kiss there. “The whole time.”

Uncle x Papa – Nephew!Kid!Lloyd x Adopted Son!Morro x Father!Uncle!Male!Reader (Ninjago)

Part 3

WARNING!: Mention of rape, kidnapping and murder, mention of abandonment, mention of close to death encounter, Angered Morro AND MORE ! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED !!

“Morro is still around ?! I thought...after all these years of him not returning...he died.”, Wu muttered.

“No he is alive.”

“Describe him to me.”

“Black hair with a green strand in it, forest green eyes, wears gray and green clothes, has some weird symbol on his clothes, like we have on ours, spiked eyebrows on the ends.”, Cole described.

“That...that is him...”, Wu muttered.

“And M/n ?”, Zane pressed.

“He...was my Brother. Garmadon’s and my Brother. After a few events, he moved out and I never knew where he went.”, he answered.

Kai covered Jay’s mouth and shook his head. He didn’t want them to tell Wu that Lloyd was with them.

“My sister has a date with Morro.”, Kai informed.

Wu looked at him in surprise.

“She does ? Who made the first move ?”,  he asked.

“Morro did.”, Zane answered.

He looked even more shocked.

“That is impossible. He would NEVER have time for such things. He was always way too busy to prove me wrong... Did he change ?”, Wu was in deep thoughts.

So what Morro said was true. Wu did know them and the proving part seemed to be right too. Kai was ready to stalk his Sister tomorrow.

-The next day after Lunch-

M/n gave Morro a small basket for a picnic and told them both to be careful in the woods. Then they left and they found Nya. Morro landed behind her and Lloyd got down.

“Hello, Nya.”, Morro greeted.

She turned around and smiled.

“Hello, Morro and Lloyd.”, she replied.

Nya was dressed up in nice clothes, but not too nice, in case she gets dirty. Morro and Lloyd just the same.

“You look charming, Nya.”, Morro complimented.

“Thank you, you look nice as well.”, she replied.

Lloyd looked at Nya in awe, but shook his head and stuck his tongue out, looking away.

“Eww, girls...”, Lloyd muttered.

Morro lightly smacked the back of Lloyd’s head.

“Hey !”, he protested.

Morro smirked.

“You are such a terrible Cousin. Not even trying to be happy for your Cousin.”, Morro said dramatically.

Lloyd hugged him tightly.

“She is stealing the attention away from me. You are supposed to pay attention to me, Bubba.”, Lloyd said.

Morro looked at Lloyd in shock.

“Bubba ?”, he asked.

“I see you more like a Brother....is that wrong ?”, he asked.

Morro thought about it and then shook his head.

“No, no it isn’t. You just caught me off guard, little Buddy.”

“Okay.”, he said and snuggled deeper into Morro’s side.

He looked at Nya.

“Shall we get going ? I know a perfect spot to watch the sunset.”, Morro suggested.

“Sure. Do you want me to carry the basket ?”, she asked.

Morro looked at Lloyd and sighed.

“I guess I have to ask that of you, so this bundle of attention, will get soaked in enough of it for later.”, Morro said jokingly.

Lloyd smiled and hugged him tighter. She took the basket and Morro picked Lloyd up, who wrapped his tiny arms around Morro’s neck and hid his face in Morro’s chest.

“He seems to like you a lot.”, Nya stated.

“He does. He liked me since I can remember.”, Morro explained.

“And when was that ?”, she asked.

“Oh, when Lloyd was a Baby still. Garmadon needed a break sometimes and I took care of Lloyd then. I fed him, I changed his nappies, I played with him, I spent time with him. Yes, it sounds like much, but really, his Dad worked himself to the bone for him. He passed out from exhaustion, because he barely slept. It got to a point that whenever he saw me or Garmadon entering he was giggling happily and just wanted attention.”, Morro explained, having a sparkle in his eyes when he recalled the memories.

Nya found the sparkle pretty.

“Enough about me though. What about you ? Tell me how you are related to such a Meanie.”, Morro started.

“I don’t know sometimes, myself. Kai has been like this, since we lost our parents. We were still kids when they left and never came back. We still have Father’s blacksmith and a picture of them. Since then, Kai has been overprotective of me, because I was the younger sibling and I am a female.”, she explained a bit annoyed.

Morro smiled.

“He is only looking out for you. He wasn’t THAT wrong, Nya. There are people that would use your body for their own pleasures. Females, no matter if they can fight or not, are the most endangered of getting kidnapped and disgraced. He is not that wrong to look out for you.”, Morro stated softly.

“How do you know ?”, she asked.

Morro frowned and looked at Lloyd, who seemed to be asleep.

“I saw such things happen when I was a child. I grew up on the streets, until Wu found me. Well, he caught me going through his trash to find something to eat. He gave me fresh food instead and took me under his wing. But...it doesn’t fix the damage that I have gotten on the streets. I heard the screaming, the begging for mercy. I heard how men cussed out homeless women and continued to use them... I saw some men ambushing women that could fight, how they dragged them into dark alleyways and did it... I couldn’t do anything back then. I was a small kid, that couldn’t even fight or speak properly....”, he said saddened.

Nya stared at Morro in shock as she heard that.

“Wait, if Wu took you in, why do you hate him so much ?”, she asked.

Morro’s eyes darkened and he frowned deeply.

“I admit that he took me in, fed me, kept me around, cared for me and trained me. But...he did a big mistake and it damaged me for years. Did he tell you about the Prophecy ?”, Morro asked.

“The Green ninja thing ? Yeah, the others are fighting of who it will be of them. Sensei forgot to take the scroll out of the pocket, on Kai’s Dragon. It fell out and they fight since then.”, she said annoyed.

Morro nodded.

“That is what he made me believe in.”, he told her lowly.

“What ?”

“I found out that I could do an impressive thing. Wu instantly jumped to the conclusion that I am the Green Ninja. He trained me for it, I broke my limbs for it, I didn’t stop working hard for it...I never wanted to disappoint him. As a homeless, weak child, it meant the world to me. I wanted to be it, so no one can hurt anyone anymore. I didn’t even notice how I slipped from being kind and helpful, to aggressive and angry. Wu never told me, so I would notice, he just told me to stop training, which fueled my anger just more. Then at some point, we tried to determine if I was the Chosen One, but the Golden Weapons didn’t react. I wasn’t ready to give up as fast as Wu did. I insisted on trying more, but he denied me over and over. He talked into my head that I was the Green Ninja and suddenly he said that I wasn’t. After a while I left the Monastery and was trying to prove him wrong. I went on a hunt for something that could have killed me. Garmadon and M/n looked for me, while Wu never did, nor did he try to stop me from leaving. They saved me just in time, before I could have most possibly burned to death. Since then, I stayed with them. He hates M/n and blamed him for his wrongs with me, he banished Garmadon, he never visited Lloyd...Do I have to add anything else ?”, Morro asked, unusually calm.

Nya stared at Morro in absolute shock. Then she looked down, feeling guilty.

“I...I’m sorry that I asked... I ruined the good mood, didn’t I ?”, she asked softly.

Morro looked at her, eyes wide.

“No, no, you didn’t. Honestly, yes I still get cold when I think about it, but you can be lucky that I am not as aggressive anymore about it. The first two years, I was a ball of anger and rage. I destroyed my room a lot and almost tore down our house, just thinking about it. Papa helped me to recover. He helped me to get my anger under control. I don’t get angered easily anymore.”

“Almost tore the house down ?”, Nya asked concerned.

Morro looked at her and then smiled.

“Your friends didn’t figure it out ?”, he asked.

“Figure out what ?”, she asked.

Morro came close to her ear and whispered.

“I am the Elemental Master of Wind.”

Then he pulled back and she looked at him in shock.

“No way !”, she said.

“I could make us both fly, but I am unsure how you would react and the forest is a bad spot to do that too. Lloyd and I fly a lot, our home is pretty far away from Ninjago itself.”

She looked at Morro in awe.

“Maybe next time we meet up, you could chose a spot to show me ?”, she asked.

He gave her a small smile.

“Sure.”

With that they continued walking, telling a few jokes and past childhood events, making each other laugh. Nya liked Morro’s laugh.

“No way !”, she laughed out.

“Oh yes.”, Morro chuckled out.

“You really did that ?”

“Papa always understood a little joke, other than Wu. Me kicking him in the ass was just meant in good fun and M/n understood that. He chased my ass for hours to repay the kindness to me.”, Morro chuckled out.

Nya laughed.

“M/n sounds like a fun person.”, she said after they calmed down.

“Papa is a very calm, collected and funny person, besides you make him mad.”

“Did you ever make him mad ?”

“A few times. I hate his anger directed at me, it scares me. He was always angry when I was mean to someone as I was so obsessed to become the Green Ninja. He was pissed when I refused to sleep and trained instead, he was angry when he saved my ass from my Death Trap and since then he forbid me to talk about the Chosen One ever again. I only told you, so you know why I don’t like Wu anymore. Lloyd is not allowed to know about the Green Ninja thing, otherwise he could turn out like I did...”

She looked at him with understanding.

“Like the other four fight each other right now.”, she said saddened.

Morro shrugged his shoulders.

“As long as they argue about it and fight each other, none of them is going to be worthy. Maybe none of them ever will be. I mean, who has a brain, can already guess who could be the Chosen One and it ain’t me.”

“What do you mean ?”, Nya asked.

Morro looked at her conflicted and the shook his head.

“Another time. I don’t want Wu to know. He...he will then suddenly act like he cares.”, Morro muttered out.

Nya looked at Morro in worry. He really doesn’t want anything to do with Sensei Wu. They continued to walk and soon enough they arrived at a big tree.

“If we climb this one, we will see the sun going under. Do you want to take a break first and eat something ? I brought some food and drinks in the basket.”, Morro offered.

“Sure.”, she said with a smile.

Morro woke up Lloyd and he looked at him with bleary eyes.

“Hum...?”, Lloyd asked.

“Food ? I bet Papa packed some sweets for you.”, Morro said.

Lloyd woke up at that and Morro put him down chuckling. He took the basket from Nya and took out the blanket that his Papa put inside. Lloyd helped him to put it properly on the ground, then everyone sat down and Morro pulled out some packed up cupcakes, that his Dad, Lloyd and him made together yesterday.

“Apple cupcakes. I hope you are not allergic to them, Nya.”

“No, no. I am only allergic to perfume.”, Nya said.

“Got it then, no perfume, only deo.”, Morro replied, noting down to never use perfume near Nya.

She smiled and took the one Morro handed to her, then he looked around and found a lollipop for Lloyd, he gave it to Lloyd.

“I want a cupcake too.”, he told Morro after he took the candy.

Morro reached back into the basket and gave Lloyd one, who eagerly took a bite and hummed.

“You can’t even wait for me to have one too...”, Morro pouted.

Lloyd looked at Morro with big eyes and swallowed.

“Oh, sorry ! I just got so excited to taste one.”, Lloyd apologized.

“It’s fine, Lloyd.”

Morro then took one out too and together they ate them. Nya had to admit, she liked them.

“Who made them ? They are awesome.”, she asked.

“We all made them. Papa, Lloyd and me. Papa cut the apples and put them in the oven, Lloyd and I peeled the apples and washed them, then we made the batter.”, Morro answered.

Lloyd nodded at that eagerly.

“My Uncle is the best ! He is almost like Dad ! I might not remember much of him...due to how young I was when I lost him..., but I remember how he always made me and Morro some delicious food, when M/n was away ! His chicken recipes were the best !”, Lloyd said.

Morro nodded his head.

“That is right. Uncle Garmadon’s chicken thighs were the best food. The meat was always well done, the skin was seasoned well and very crispy too and the sauce he made for the chicken meat was also great. My favorite dish he made.”

“The chicken and rice dish was delicious too ! With the yellow sauce, you remember, Bubba ?”

“Ah, yes. The chicken curry with rice dish. Uncle Garmadon left out the Pineapples, because I am allergic to them and Lloyd doesn’t like them anyways.”

“You are allergic to Pineapples ?”

Morro nodded.

“My airways close up when I eat Pineapple and I need a vaccination to make it stop. Papa has some in case of emergencies.”

“Huh... Alright, so when I ever cook, no Pineapples.”

Morro chuckled and nodded. Lloyd looked at Morro.

“Bubba ? Am I allergic to something ?”, Lloyd asked.

“I hope not. Your Father has no allergies as much as I know. I don’t know about your Mother though, Lloyd.”, Morro replied.

Lloyd looked away.

“I don’t have a Mother, Bubba. You KNOW that.”

Nya looked at Lloyd with big eyes, then at Morro.

“Fine, then the person that carried you around and birthed you.”, Morro corrected himself.

With that Lloyd got up and looked around, leaving Morro and Nya alone.

“He doesn’t have a Mother ?”, she asked.

“She left Garmadon and him as Lloyd was still just a Baby. She never showed her face, so Lloyd started to say that he doesn’t have a Mother. Whoever his Mom was, Lloyd pretty much disowned her as his Mother.”, Morro explained.

“Oh... I am so sorry for asking.”

“It’s fine. You didn’t know.”, he said.

-Time skip-

After they ate and climbed the tree, they were already about to witness the sunset. Nya couldn’t lie, it was beautiful from up on the tree. Morro gave her a kind smile and they continued to watch it.

After the sunset was over, Morro walked Nya home, left Lloyd at the beginning of the many stairs up, brought Nya up all the stairs to the Monastery and froze as he saw that Wu was waiting for her. Wu stared at him and Morro stared back. Nya was surprised that Sensei Wu stood there and worried for Morro’s reaction.

“It really is you, Morro.”, Wu then got out.

Nya could hear a bit of emotion coming from him. Happiness and sadness. Probably because Morro didn’t come back to him. Morro glared at him and clenched his hands into fists.

“Don’t pretend like you suddenly care, Wu. I hate pretenders.”, Morro growled out.

Nya looked at Morro in worry. She never heard that darkness in his tone before.

“What do you mean, Morro ? I left the doors open for you to come back. I...I thought I lost you for good.”

“You did. I am surprised you left the doors open. You knew how thick skulled I was. You should have stopped me or at least came looking for me. Funny that Garmadon and M/n did that, but not YOU. The person, who claimed to care about me, oh so much. Don’t fucking lie to me.”

Wu looked away in guilt.

“I’m sorry I let you down, Morro.”

“You are only sorry for letting me down, by not looking for me ?”, Morro asked harshly.

The other Ninja appeared and Kai jumped over the wall, without anyone noticing and let it seem like he just left the house, trying to find out what this rocus was about.

Wu looked at Morro, confused.

“Y...Yes ?”

Nya and Kai knew that was the wrong answer for Morro. The other Ninja saw her and Morro suddenly and they saw how angry Morro was with Wu.

“How about you are sorry for corrupting me ?! How about you are sorry, for fucking up my unstable psychological state ?! How about you are sorry for almost letting me DIE ?! How about you are sorry for making me believe in LIES for YEARS ?! How about you are sorry for BLAMING MY PAPA for YOUR own mistakes ?!”, Morro yelled at him angered.

Each question that Morro asked outraged, he seemed to get more pissed off and Nya was worried. He said he had anger issues before, but now under control. But Sensei Wu seemed to be a trigger.

The Ninja visibly shrunk into each other, while Wu backed away from Morro slightly, who came closer with every question.

“How did I corrupt you ? What lies did I make you believe in ?”, Wu asked in disbelief.

“You never said that I COULD be the Green Ninja ! That there is a slight CHANCE I COULD be. You always said that I AM and that I WILL be ! It destroyed my psychological state ! You made me believe that I AM the Green Ninja and not that I COULD be ! That is a difference, WU ! You made me believe that you LOVED me as your own kid, for all the things you did with and for me ! You told me you cared about me like I was YOUR Son ! But as soon as I lost sight of what was important, you let me leave and walk right into my own DEATH ! WHAT A FATHER ARE YOU ?! YOU ABANDONED ME IN A TIME OF NEED !”, Morro yelled into Wu’s face, tears of anger and betrayal running down his face.

The Ninja’s eyes widened in shock and they stared at Wu, who was just as shocked. Morro wiped his tears and scoffed, looking at Wu with disgust.

“What does it matter, you don’t care anyways.”, he said, coldly.

“Morro-“

“SHUT UP ! I don’t want to hear your half assed excuses !”, Morro yelled back.

“Morro ?”, Nya asked softly.

He turned to her. She could see all the emotions swarming in his eyes. She slowly approached him and pulled him into a hug. Morro stiffened up for a slight bit, then hugged back, tightly.

“Sorry, if I scared you, Nya.”, Morro apologized.

“It’s okay. I understand...”, she replied.

“I soured the evening...”, Morro said with slight sadness.

“It’s fine. We both didn’t know that Sensei Wu would be here. Thank you for walking me home.”, she said softly.

“No problem. Do you want to meet up tomorrow again ? I know a place. We could meet in Jamanakai.”, Morro offered softly.

“Sure. What time ?”

“One PM ?”

“Okay. I will be there.”, she replied.

Morro smiled and kissed her cheek quickly. She froze and blushed.

“I’ll see you then.”

“Morro, stay please.”, Wu said softly.

He turned around to his former Sensei.

“Never. I live with Papa. He would be worried sick and I do NOT like you all that much anymore.”, Morro pointed out.

Nya pulled Morro into a hug, his back to her front.

“Your Dad is probably worried sick right now. You should get going. No need to get into any trouble with him, right Morro ?”, Nya asked.

He knew what she was trying. She wanted him to leave before they both escalate into a fight and M/n would be mad at Morro, while Lloyd would be scared. Nya was smart to act like this. He pecked her cheek again.

“Okay, I will leave. Until tomorrow, Dollface.”, Morro said and then left.

Nya blushed brightly at that pet name. As soon as Morro was out of sight, he used the Wind and flew down the rest of the stairs. Lloyd waited there, with his flashlight.

“Let’s go home, shall we ?”, Morro asked.

Lloyd looked at him and nodded. Morro picked him up and then they both froze.

“Morro ! Come back, please !”, Wu called.

They saw him running down the stairs. Morro cursed and put Lloyd down.

“Hide in the dark, no flashlight. He can’t see you, Lloyd.”

He nodded and did as Morro told. Then Wu was in front of him. Morro glared.

“What part of NEVER did you not hear ?”, Morro asked.

“I want to make it up to you. Your Father can move in too.”, Wu offered.

“He won’t want to. Why would he come back to you ? After everything you did to him ?”, Morro asked darkly.

“I figured that M/n, my Brother, is your Father now, but please. I really want to make it up to you.”

“How can you make something up to me ? I can’t even look at you, without getting angered. Just because I can control my anger better, doesn’t that mean that, I am not very close to punch you.”

Wu stared at him in shock.

“You have your little Noobs to take care of. So leave me alone.”, Morro stated coldly.

Morro turned his back to Wu and took a few steps away from him.

“Do you want me, to beg you, to forgive me ?”, Wu asked sullenly.

Morro froze up at that and turned around, caught off guard.

“What ? No ! I just don’t want to be near YOU ! How can I be near you, if I just want to beat the living shit out of you ?! Wu, YOU broke my trust in you ! YOU left me, I just did the final step for you ! You left me, BEFORE I even left the Monastery ! Trust was hard to built up, but it is easily shattered. You shattered my trust in you. I am pissed off with you, for everything you did and continue to do. Thanks to you, Lloyd won’t have a Mother nor a Father now. M/n told me everything about Lloyd. Garmadon went to him after his wife left him with Lloyd, as a Baby. Where have YOU been ? Why did Garmadon search for Papa, if he had YOU ? You weren’t all THAT trustworthy, huh ? Your OWN BROTHER didn’t TRUST you. That says something, don’t you think ?”, Morro pressed.

Wu looked down in sadness.

“Is Lloyd with you two ?”, he asked.

“No, he is not. Garmadon sent him off somewhere. We have no idea where he is, nor can we ask Garmadon. And guess who’s fault that is AGAIN. YOURS. We saw you two fighting. We saw how you let him fall. If Lloyd ever finds out about this, he will be very much against you. I think that is your special talent, you MAKE the VILLANS and Papa CLEANS your shit up.”

Wu looked at Morro as he said that. Morro triggered Wu’s own anger.

“M/n is a good for nothing Brother ! He left us ! He didn’t help in the wars we had ! You know NOTHING, Morro !”, he yelled angered.

Lloyd stared at Wu in fright and anger. His Uncle, M/n, was NOT useless !

“I KNOW EVERYTHING, OLD MAN ! YOU BLAMED HIM FOR YOUR MISTAKES ! OF COURSE HE DIDN’T JOIN THE WARS YOU INVOLVED YOURSELF IN ! LAST TIME YOU TWO SPOKE YOU WISHED HE WAS NEVER BORN ! SO HE STAYED AWAY !”, Morro screamed angered at Wu.

The Wind whipped around behind Morro. He was losing control this time and Lloyd grabbed onto something already, lying on the ground too, like Morro taught him, in emergency cases like this.

Wu shut up at that and his eyes widened, anger gone.

“I...I said that...?”, Wu asked in shock.

Morro was too angry to calm down.

“WOW ! NOT EVEN YOU CAN REMEMBER IT ! GARMADON AND PAPA TOLD ME ! AS HE MOVED OUT YOU YELLED AT HIM THAT YOU WISHED HE WAS NEVER BORN, THAT YOU HOPED YOU WILL NEVER SEE HIM AGAIN, TO STAY AS FAR AWAY FROM YOU AS POSSIBLE !!! HE DID EXACTLY THAT AND EVEN THAT WAS WRONG TO YOU ! CAN YOU FINALLY DECIDE WHAT THE HELL YOU WANT FROM MY DAD ?!”, Morro screamed in rage.

Nya was now there too, like the others. She stared at the Wind behind Morro, that seemed to be raging. Then she stared at Morro and reached him without problems. Wu did trigger Morro’s dangerous side.

She made him focus on her and her only.

“Morro, look at me. Hey ! Eyes up here.”, she coached him.

He snapped his eyes at her face, rage evident in them.

“Calm down. I know it’s easier said than done, but you are losing control. Snap out of it.”, she said softly.

Morro stared at her, but his eyes showed shock. He seemed to realize it, thanks to her.

“Take deep breaths and calm down slowly.”, she instructed.

Morro did exactly that and soon was as calm as a cat again. He hugged Nya tightly.

“Thank you...”, he whispered.

She hugged him back.

“No problem. Grab Lloyd and go.”, she said softly.

Morro nodded, glared at Wu, pecked Nya’s cheek again and then ran into the darkness. He snatched Lloyd and then flew away in the darkness.

“Morro ! WAIT !”, Wu yelled, trying to stop him from leaving.

Nya blocked Wu’s way and shook her head.

“Enough, Sensei. You made him angry enough for tonight.”, she said and then glared at the four Ninja.

“WHO snitched on me and Morro having a date on the Sensei ?!”, she asked pissed off.

“It was Kai ! He snitched !”, Cole and Jay quickly answered.

Kai looked at them with betrayal. Zane only nodded as they gave Kai out. She glared at her Brother.

“Look, Kai, I know you are only looking out for me and try to protect me, but I do not tolerate you snitching on me. Morro is a very nice guy, even though he has his own imperfections. He is save as long as people like Sensei Wu don’t piss him off. So please stop from trying to make Morro hate me.”, she said.

Kai looked at Nya in guilt.

“I know now that he is a nice fella...”, he said softly.

Everyone looked at him in confusion.

“Kai...what did you do ?”, Nya asked.

“I...I followed you and Morro around....I just wanted to make sure that he won’t hurt you. I heard everything you talked about and saw everything too. I’m sorry...”, Kai said softly.

Nya looked at him with disbelief, while the others just stared at him gob smacked. Nya took a deep breath and then approached her Brother, slapped him hard in the face and then pulled him into a hug.

“I love you too, Brother. But seriously now, stop stalking us.”, she said softly.

Kai nodded and hugged her back.

“He is dangerous. I don’t think he is interested in you, Nya. That is not Morro’s thing.”, Wu warned.

She looked at him with a slight glare.

“How long has it been that you saw him, Sensei ?”, she snapped.

He looked nervously around.

“Uhm...Almost eight years...”, he admitted.

“In eight years a lot can change.”, she sassed.

“But not Morro. You don’t understand. He is very obsessed with proving me wrong of something that he isn’t.”

“He gave up on it. He told me that, into my face. Get your info refreshed.”, Nya countered.

Kai nodded.

“She is right. He said that he gave up on it. He doesn’t care anymore.”, Kai said.

Wu looked at them.

“That is so...unlike him...”

Nya shook her head.

“For you maybe, but honestly ? I bet M/n and Garmadon had to give him therapy to get back on track. He was anger issued, was believing lies you told him, became obsessed with something you made him believe in and had a close to death experience, he barely escaped from. This calls, for therapy, to me, honestly.”

With that she left and went back up the stairs into the Monastery, with the other Ninja following. Wu stayed there rooted in place and looked at the ground.

‘Did M/n really fix, what I might have broke, inside Morro ? Am I really...that blind and bad ?’

To be continued...

Masterlist HERE !

[angstywaifu]

hi friend!! I wanna be the first to send a director’s cut ask hehe. I’m so excited that you’re doing these, they’re so fun. I adore Ophelia and Dahlia and I’m very excited to see more of them ❤️🖤

I don’t have a specific chapter to pick out for Ophelia, since there’s a too many to choose from, but can you tell us a little bit about Garrick and Ophelia pre-Basgiath? what was their relationship like? was she part of the gang with G/X/Bo, or regarded as a tag-along who they “had to take trick or treating with them”? when did Garrick fall for her, or start to; before she “died”, or when they reunited at Basgiath? he was clearly affected by the sight of her with her natural hair, so I’m thinking before hehe

also, did Xaden ever give Garrick the “shovel talk” about this whole thing off-screen, or does he trust gare enough not to have to threaten him? how does G&O being a couple affect their friendship? is Xaden glad that it’s Garrick of all people who loves and protects his sister, or is that outweighed by him being (only a little) grossed out by this whole thing?

if you’ve answered these already I’m sorry, I think I may have missed a few parts and I need to do a whole re-read sometime in one sitting. and don’t feel pressured to answer all of these. I know it’s a lot of questions, and some of them you might want to keep secret for now.

okay that’s it for now hehe love ya!! here’s a bouquet of flowers for you and some strawberries from my garden too since I can’t deliver them to you in person 💐🍓🍓

💗 Liz @callsign-rogueone

I was having so much fun reading yours, and it made me want to do my own. And thank you for being the first one! Ophelia & Garrick Pre Basgiath. She is definitely part of the gang from day one. Her and Xaden have always gotten along and she was attached to his hip from the moment she could walk. So she just naturally became apart of their group. I've gone into this a lot with @fw-gt in terms of Garrick and Ophelia's relationship. But her and Garrick have always been close. Whenever Garrick's family was in Aretia/Riorson House, she would always be over at his place and his mum loved her. Garrick's mum would spoil the hell out of her. She'd constantly be getting O to stay for dinner, stay the night etc. In my head I've had these scenarios of these two attempting to cook in the kitchen and getting into mischief (throwing flour and things at each other etc), her sitting on the counter while he does something for his mum. Or them sitting in his room late at night talking and them both falling asleep, only to be found by his mum the next morning asleep in each others arms. Garrick's mum has always been their biggest supporter, secretly hoping when they got older they would get together (she of course sadly never sees this happen). But Garrick fell for her well before Basgiath. I'd probably say early teens he started realising his feelings were changing for her and developing into something more. Which then lead to some not so subtle comments from Xaden and Bodhi. There is something you'll find out in Part 40 to do with his feelings towards her Pre Basgiath as well. Xaden & Garrick's Relationship (in regards to Ophelia) They do have a talk off-screen. This gets referenced in Part 10 and 12 when Xaden talks to Ophelia and before Garrick and Ophelia get together in Part 13. I am actually tempted to do a Garrick POV Bonus Part of one of these moments..... But Xaden very much trusts Garrick with her. There would be some jokes about him threatening Garrick, but overall he knows Garrick would do anything for her. And he is very glad it's Garrick. He's been there since day one of them knowing each other, so he's watched their entire friendship form and develop into something more. So even though we get a few moments of him being grossed out (Part 20 - "what did I say about the silencing wards!"), he is very happy for the two of them. Though after they find out she is alive there are a few moments between Garrick and Xaden of "pull it together and go tell her how you feel" and Xaden being done with them avoiding each other. And don't be sorry, I love going into this kind of thing. So if there is anything else, please don't hesitate to ask! My brain is full of behind the scenes details.

Bucky Applebees Goes to a Party

Bucky didn’t think he’d get this far, he was sure someone would have turned him around but here he was standing on Fabian Seacasters front lawn as his sister rode a demon motorcycle dressed as a shrimp into a pool of tartar sauce that she somehow lit on fire. He listened as people chanted her name and called her a legend. He watched as teens all around him split off to drink, dance, talk, or … well other activities Bucky wasn't sure he was even allowed to think about. 

The night whirled by him but he was always searching for Kristen, finding her in different crowds of people usually with one of her friends by her side. He watched her from afar, watched as she laughed and joked, as she drank from a solo cup, as she talked to Buddy Dawn of all people, and just couldn’t help but question it all. His sister had been the chosen of Helio and she had left all that, left him and his brothers for this? For these people, she called friends? He didn’t understand it but he also couldn’t stop watching, so he stayed and watched. 

Eventually, the party started to slow down and people started to go home but not Bucky. Instead, he sat out on the lawn and watched the dawn come not knowing what to do but knowing that he would be in trouble when he got home and that he had found none of the answers he was looking for. 

“Bucky?” Suddenly Kristen was standing next to him, a solo cup in her hand and a crooked cowboy hat on her head. 

“Um, uh hi … I’m not meant to be here.” He stumbled out. 

“No you’re not, you are out waaaay past curfew.” Kristen smiled as she sat next to him. 

“I know, I’m going straight to hell.” Bucky said sadly after few quiet moments. 

“No, you’re not. It takes a lot more than breaking curfew once to go to hell.” Kristen told him taking a large swig of her drink and grimacing. 

“How would you know?” Bucky almost spat at her but his curiosity came out instead.

“I’ve been to heaven and I’ve been to hell. I’ve met Helio and Sol, I’ve created a god, killed a god, and saved a god. I know some things.” She gave him a hard look before looking back at the horizon. 

“I … I didn’t … when did?” Bucky could barely comprehend what she was saying. 

He’d heard rumors about Kristen of course both at church and now in the halls at Auegfort but all of that had to be nonsense, none of it sounded like his older sister. Kristen didn’t kill dragons and date werewolves, she made friendship bracelets and healed bruises. She wasn’t some big hero, she was a sinner, an apostate. She was just a teenage girl, just his older sister. There was no way the rumors at Auegfort could be true about her, he would know … wouldn’t he? 

“I’ve been busy these last two years.” She winked at him. 

“Right. Busy.” Bucky’s voice hardened again as he thought of her absence. 

“I’m sorry Bucky, I’m sorry I left you and Bricker and Cork. Thats not what big sisters are meant to do, I … miss you all so much every day but I had to leave.” Kristens voice wobbled as she spoke. 

“Why?” 

“Because I lost my faith in Helio and I knew I wouldn’t be welcome anymore. Our parents are not accepting people and they would not accept me, my beliefs, or my life.” Kristen explained. 

“How could you lose your faith? You were chosen!” Bucky is almost pleading with her. 

“When I died I asked why there was so much suffering but Helio didn’t answer me instead he sent me back here. After that I … I’ve been searching for meaning, why things happen and I think I’m awfully close to knowing that we … well that we will never know why there is suffering but that's not a bad thing. Doubt is okay, the unknown isn’t always terrifying and it's perfectly fine to just not know.” Kristen is staring at the horizon now and a tear is on her cheek but all Bucky feels is disappointment, confusion, and anger. 

Bucky shakes his head, “Faith is what matters.” 

“Faith in what?” Kristen asked him, her voice harder her eyes looking at him now. 

“Faith in Helio.” 

“Only faith in Helio matters?” 

“What else is there?” Bucky asks quietly as if the very question itself would hurt him. 

“Everything. There is a whole world out there Bucky, there are planes of existence that would blow your mind, and faith in Helio is … if it's something you truly believe in, something you study and know with all the good and the bad then that is your faith but I … well I believe in something else.” She told him. 

“I don’t understand how two years at High School can change someone so much.” Bucky said after a few moments of silence. 

“One day it’ll be the first weekend after your first week of Junior year at Auegfort and we’ll see how much you’ve changed.” She smiled widely at him. 

“I love you Bucky, and I love Bricker and Cork. You can always come to me if you need help, or someone to talk to or a place to stay. I’m still your big sister, nothing can ever change that.” She gave him a side hug before getting up, dusting off her wranglers and walking into Seacaster Manor. 

Bucky stayed where he was for a few more minutes before finding his bike in the bushes he’d hid it in on the way here hours before and rode home. The lights were still off and Bucky let out a grateful prayer as he managed to slip in through the back door and up to his bedroom his parents none the wiser that he’d been to his first high school party and talked to his big sister. 

[chiptaylorsfirst]

Hey! Not really sure if you also write abt the angsty stuff, but if so or if you're up to it anyway, I was wondering if you'd consider writing an angst for Kit Walker inside the Briarcliff asylum please, I mean him dealing with some darker stuff in there, alongside a female reader who can be also a patient... You can go as dark as you possibly can please, that's more than okay with me...

Anyway if this is okay and you’re interested, I would truly appreciate it!!! Love your fics btw 🫶🏻

A/N: Hopefully this is angsty enough. I don't have much experience in writing things like this so I truly hope you enjoy it. My apologies for taking so long to reply btw.

Word Count: 1,035

Pairing: Kit Walker x patient!fem!Reader

Warnings: Angst, abuse, mental issues, mentions of murderous thoughts, depression

Summary: Kit has reached the point of no return and you don't know if there's any way to redeem him.

You swore that anyone who stepped foot in Briarcliff would confuse it as being hell. It was literally the worst place you could've ever found yourself in and all because you believed Kit. The days were definitely becoming more tiresome.

You'd given up on fighting your baddles. Sister Jude made sure of that. You decided that you would just have to take any torture that was given to you and finally succumb to everyone else around you. Though it was stressful and difficult, you found it to be a good technique and you acquired less scratches and bruises that way. You weren't worried about yourself at all but Kit was beginning to shift into someone unrecognizable.

His laughter and smiles dissappeared entirely. Then he began to distance himself from everyone, barely making eye contact with anyone except for a few seconds. Your conversations got scarier and you watched the man you'd fallen in love with slip away. You were currently trying to get his attention, his eyes covered in dark circles as he looked elsewhere, completely zoned out. 

“Kit, baby. Please talk to me.” When he looked at you, your stomach almost dropped to the floor. All emotion in his face was gone and his body was covered in different marks due to the treatment given by the asylum.

“What do you want?” You blinked back tears before speaking. “I want Kit back, the man who loved me and proposed to me.” His face slightly softened but you could tell he still wasn’t himself. “I can’t be him for you, darling. He died as soon as I came in here.” You were practically pleading now, doing your best to give him even a sliver of hope. 

“Kit, you can’t say that. You promised that we would stick together through anything and everything no matter what we’d face. You said that we would catch Bloody Face and get the hell out of here, that we would fight together. It seems that your depression has turned you into a coward, so you’re right. You're not the Kit Walker that I knew because he would be too brave to ever receive defeat yet alone claim it.” 

You still didn’t receive much of a reaction from him until you did. “So I’m a fucking coward because I’m tired of enduring beating after beating? I’m a coward because I care more about the bit of sanity that I have over playing heroes and villains? I am a monster, Y/N. These thoughts that I have in my mind sometimes, I just can’t control them. If I get let out, I may just kill someone and the problem is that I’d sleep like a baby afterwards. I don’t have one bit of love in me now. All that I have is hate and rage. I’m tired and I can’t ever be what you wanted me to be, okay?” 

You leaned into him and cupped his face, making him look you in your eyes. “And if I said that you being how you are now was enough, what would you do? You could never harm me. I think the asylum’s done enough of that.” 

He closed his eyes before shaking his head. “No, you don’t understand the feeling. It feels so bad to just be stuck inside of your own head afraid that you’re gonna do something, to be so far gone that you know whatever horrible thing that you may do, you won’t regret it. I mean, I have these urges when I just wanna watch the life leave from someone. You think that I’m crazy, don’t you?” Tears were falling from your eyes, your voice shaky as you spoke.

“No, Kit. You’re just hurt.” “You’re afraid of me. You can barely look me in the eyes. You’re gonna get out of here without me and you’ll go off and marry some nice, sane man. You’ll forget about me and I want you to because I can’t take care of you. I can’t even take care of myself.” 

“Kit–” “Please stop talking to me before I do something you may not like. Leave me.” His voice was stern and steady. You felt your heart completely crush. He snatched your engagement ring from your finger, dropping it on the ground along with his. You were beyond torn from his actions, your eyes pleading with him for something different. This wasn’t supposed to be the outcome. He was always your sweet and delightful sunshine, never afraid to fight against others. 

“You are stronger than this and you can fight it.” Tears fell from his eyes as he looked at you. “I can’t even close my eyes. All that I see is pain and these urges get stronger the more that I fight against them. I can't get out of here, not when I know that I'd be sent back. I want to suffer alone in the knowledge that I am not what I used to be. I don't want you to witness what I'll become. You need to remember me as the man you first met.”

His voice cracked. The small bit of control that he had over himself was now tumbling down. He kissed you on your cheek, showing the last bit of himself that he could before he spoke to you, his voice a soft and gentle tone. “Don’t come back here ever again. Leave me, forget about me, do whatever you need to and move on. Live your life to the fullest. You can’t do that if you keep trying to visit me and see me in this state. It’s only gonna get worse. Leave before it’s too late, while there’s still time, while I still have a bit of sanity left."

You reluctantly did as he asked, watching as Sister Jude happily took him away. He didn't bother to look back at you and you felt a newfound feeling of sadness and emptiness pang inside of you. Kit was your everything. He was te epitome of love in your eyes and now he was ruined. You just hoped that you wouldn't follow the same path but then again it would be difficult considering he was your only and true love.

[flamingskull28]

So this stood as a wip in my drafts for a long time so I had an idea. I'd finish it on a cliff hanger.

Now I will @ 3 friends to challenge them to finish a bit more. Maybe they will @ more people, who knows?

---

Marie vaguely listened as Callie and Agent 3 chatted. They always had some random topic to chat about, whether it be exercising routines, turf wars or music those two always had something to yap about.

While Marie did enjoy listening to them, with her own occasional chime ins. Her attention was mostly spilt over at Agent 4 who lay on the nearby couch outside the cabin, not really resting but more pretending to. Marie had demand she rest for a while after her 5th time going into the Canyon to train...

"Hey! Earth to Marie! Marieeeeeeeeeeeeee." Callie stretched her words out in the most annoying way possible till Marie finally snapped out from her half there trance.

"huh, who..."

"Me, silly...You okay Marie? You've been more zoned out more than usual." Callie's voice was un-naturally caring.

"I...." Marie sighed and tore her gaze from 4 "It's Agent 4, she's... been different lately, you've noticed right? She's been less chipper and upbeat, she barely talks anymore, her face is almost always stone cold, even when I tell her she can use her dualies in a misson... she doesn't even smile... and she's been spending more and more time in the Canyon. Always saying its for training.... she always comes back exhausted and covered in scars and bruises then at the first chance she gets...goes straight back out..." Maries voice rose and fell as she spoke untill she finally huffed,

Callie paused and looked at the out of breath Marie, considering her words for a moment "I... I have noticed, I just thought it was just a phase but.. you're right.." Callie forced a smile "Maybe 3's just rubbing off on her." She said trying to make light of this, 3 rolled her eyes in response thought the agent seemed nervous about something.

"That- Cod damit..." Marie muttered glancing back at the couch and seeing 4 vanished as if they'd never been there in the first place. Marie tapped her ear piece. "4, are you in the Canyon?" she tried to put disapproval into her voice.

After a few seconds of silence, her ear pieces speaker trickled to life, "Mhm." was all 4 said.

"4 I want you to come back. Now. Thats enough patrolling for today."

"....No...." gunfire was audible in her mic.

"4 you have spent well over 12 hours out there today. Come back to the Cabin, that's an order..." after a minute of no response she added "Please?"

*click*

..."4!" Marie yelled processing that her Agent had hung up on her. She turned to Callie and 3 as if to confirm that wasn't her imagination, but both their jaws were agape. 4 wasn't always the best with orders but she never refused one, let alone hung up on Maire...

Then 3 face planted into her hands and groaned "Cod... this is all my fault.... "

Marie and Callie stared at the girl, silently asking for an explanation.

"I..." 3 audiblely held back tears. Her and 4 has grown very close from what the sisters understood. Callie said they were like beasties but Maire saw... something more building between the two. So if 3 had done something to upset 4, this reaction would be understandable.

3 took a deep breath "Last month, you recall that patrol where me and 4 were gone all day and came back battered?" 3 continued knowing the sisters did remember. "Well as you know.. 4 and I were ambushed, we were overwhelmed by a whole splatoon of troops and barely scraped through...."

3 paused, her face covered in sorrow and regret. "Afterwards we were pissed, 4 and I argued about how that could've happened to us.... I-I was such a bitch to her." 3's voice cracked guiltily, as the regret pooled inside her bubbled over and leaked out in her words "I said 'this would have never happened if 8 was here,but no I was stuck with your incompetent ass and almost died because of it'.... she looked so hurt.....she hasn't talked to me since."

3 stopped and her tears finally broke through. Callie placed a comforting hand on their shoulder. Marie did not, feeling the urg to punch 3 mixed in her pity.

"So.." Marie death gripped her brella "She's been doing this to herself... because you couldn't hold back your temper? Now... she thinks torturing herself is the only was to be worth while..." Marie threw her umbrella aside and kicked open the cabin door. Rummaging through until she found her hero charger.

"Marie... you can't just blame 3." Callie said sternly, to no response. Marie kept walking away. "Where are you going?"

Marie looked back. Visiblely angry. "To find 4, don't follow." She super jumped away.

I challenge @geminired @sodapoppss @deemodomino to build on if they wish.

[titan-senpai]

Even with my final breath..you shall not live another day.

You were the promised mate to Neteyam years passed and you still love him.. what would you do if the sky people returned?!

Warning; Angst, Fighting, Cursing, mention of Neteyams death, fight scene just gore. alot of cursing

A/N; I haven't written anything like this so it was quite interesting I gotta say. btw Quarich killed Neteyam not the other guy, so it's like out of revenge. oh and bye bye spider. ( I have something against him okay. ;-;) 

neteyam x Fem Omatikaya reader Angst!

Words; (1.1K)

after the events of that tragic day, losing your mate to be to the sky people, you shall never forgive them. Years passed since that tragic day and many warriors asked for your hand but your heart was with Neteyam.

it always will be so you rejected every guy left and right, training every day so you could finally kill the sky people again. even if it meant dying.

you closed yourself from the world, only talking to the Sully’s, Ao’nung and Tsireya.. these people knew how you felt, 5 years flew by and you grew into a lovely young woman around 20 quite attractive even Ao’nung said so but you just turned your head..

Tsireya finally ended up with Lo’ak and had a baby on the way, you were happy for them but you couldn't stop imagining what it would have been if you had mated with Neteyam, carrying the fruit of your love and a happy family..

you wanted that.. but only with neteyam, Kiri saw how sad you were everyday. “Hey.. you alright? “ Kiri said sitting next to you on the shore, “Yeah just thinking you know..same stuff” playing with the sand next to you, “It’s okay Y/N Its hard to let him go, I miss him too..everyone does” Leaning her head on my shoulder “ I just wonder what would have been if he was still alive..if i just pushed him aside..” tears started flowing out “Would we been happy? Have a child like those too? I want that feeling, a feeling of starting a family..” I started to admit, finally after years the burden was gone for a second.

“Oh Y/N… It’s okay he would have been so happy if you guys did.. I know it’s hard to move on but hey there are plenty of young warriors.. look at ao’nung he’s been chasing you for years you know.” She smiled softly standing up “ I'll give you a minute, i'll see you back at Maui..” she said walking off.

Maybe she was right.. I should let him go.. standing up ready to walk to the Maui i heard the alarm.. “THE DEMONS HAVE RETURNED.” I heard someone yell and more alarms in the background. now running to the maui pod running inside seeing everyone gear up “What's going on?” I asked worried “c'mon we gotta go fight sister!” Lo’ak threw my spear and bow at me, “You should stay my love..” kissing tsireya’s stomach as she nod and waved goodbye, Spider grabbed a spear as well and followed Kiri.

Calling out my Skimwing while everyone called their Ilu’s and Skimwings. quickly diving in as the cold ocean water hit our skin, giving my skimwing a few pats for good luck as everyone swam off. Kiki holding Spider as they rode an Ilu, Tuk following behind with an Ilu while the rest of the Sully’s used an Skimwing ( Except Neytiri-) 

We reached the rocks where they stood… taking a better look.. SH-t it was the same crew that killed Neteyam.. 

“Cmon Miles.. we gotta kill them this time..no time for games. “ one of them said holding a gun.. “Shut it.. last time i nearly died.” The tallest one said.. he looks familiar. I turned to Jake as he looked shocked how he didnt die..” That's Quaritch..” He pointed out.. Spider looked worried..because he saved him….Neytiri having the high ground on a mountain nearby ready to shoot when Jake gave her a signal. as he gave the signal she shot quickly and silently killing the one talking next to Quaritch. “Watch out! they are here..” A tall female said. pointing her gun to the direction. Quaritch took a closer look at the bow.. “Well..well if it isn't Miss Sully again.. lovely to see you again. He said pointing for his crew to shoot her.. Jake gave everyone a sign to not attack as he went slowly with a knife.. quiet.. silent.. so no one would notice but someone did. and everything turned into chaos.

“Attack!” Aonung yelled and everyone started to attack to protect their home..as I ran straight to Quarich “You bitch!” he yelled “ It has been a while princess hasn't it.. last time was..” He said as I kicked his gun away. “When you murdered my true love you little shit.” I yelled, smashing his head on the rocks, we kept rolling around as he pushed me against the ship they came in… “ You want to see him? Say hello to him for me..” He said, picking up his gun behind him.. “Even with my final breath, you shall not live another day..” I screamed, grabbing my knife as I ran into him, piercing him the same place he shot Neteyam and he dropped his gun. “ You have to do more than to kill me princess.” I smiled, “I know I just wanted to buy some time.” I walked back “Now!” I yelled as Ao’nung pierced his stomach with a bigger knife. 

all the blood rushed to his mouth as he fell to the ground when he pulled it out. I watched him in pain.. “Now you know what he felt..” I looked at him with disgust, ready to shoot an arrow into his head. as spider ran to me “Don't! “ He stood in front of me and him.. “Move spider, You gotta stay out of this.” I prepared to shoot again, “He’s my father please don't.” he said looking at me “ he's your father?  a great father i have to say.. Killing innocent navi’s and almost killing us.. HE KILLED NETEYAM FOR EYWA SAKE.” I cried out. “Miles..” I heard him say as spider bent down.. Soon Neytiri and Jake saw the commotion and me crying. “ Yes father?” He bent down.. “Father?! Spider Why didn't you tell us dammit.” Jake was fuming. “Please run.. from the Sully’s.. leave me behind, don't save me again..” he said with weakness in his breath. “again?! What do you mean…” Neytiri screamed, ready to jump spider. Spider turned furious. “So he’s my father can't i save him?! the last time i couldn't see him die and i saved him, so what.” he yelled to neytiri asjake held her back trying to kill him “HE KILLED NETEYAM WAKE UP '' I screamed Loading my bow again. “ Say goodbye bitch.'' I shot him in the head. “NO!” Spider yelled running to his side. “YOU DEMON. YOU STILl CARE ABOUT HIM AFTER EVERYTHING?!” Neytiri yelled with pain as Jake held her back. 

“I see you chose your side.. spider..” I walked away from him.. everything was back to silence, finally the sky people had passed. and the sully’s coming together and checking for injuries. “Where’s Spider??” Kiri asked, looking around “He..” I couldn't get a word out..”I'll tell you when we get back. “Jake said as everyone went back to the clan.

Maybe everything would turn back to normal.. without the burden on your shoulders this time.

"Hey, Meiling?..." Flandre! And she's come in with... oh, some snacks. Dango, mochi and the like. "Like I said before, I kind of lost my memory about myself... the whole thing with Eri, Helia, and all, but... I guess that's not important. What's impotant is..."

"... If it's okay, do you mind re-introducing yourself? I know that you are Meiling, our Gatekeeper in the Scarlet Devil Mansion, and have been serving my sister for many, many years, but... what about your backstory? And... what exactly did I do with you before? Our relationship, I guess...?"

"Mine Flan-sama?" Meiling didn't mind, she already knew that one day this would come about. She even had some parts prepared in advanced, but those were simple.

"I am your gatekeeper, your friend, I am indebted to your sister and yourself." Meiling assured, of course she wouldn't make them stand while they discussed this. A seat would be offered, and another taken.

"You see, while you traverse this uncertain path with...worries. I must admit Flandre-sama I've gone through the same. For the past few centuries, especially more so since our arrival here. We've been somewhat the same. Our guests, our friends, our hobbies and habits."

"You being someone close for me, very special in fact. Often when Remilia-sama, Sakuya-san, and Patchouli-sama were busy, it would be you and myself remaining at home to do things. Especially once you grew more accustomed to being back outside amongst others again."

"I can't hope to explain, how close we were or how close I believe we were. I know it wasn't exactly like so either.. you see." Meiling shifted in her seat for a moment.

"At some point in our company, I died."

"Now don't panic. Not like so, like how you feel now without memories. I was like so as well, I am from what I've been told by those who can tell. perhaps closer to 850 years old. Yet I only remember half or less."

"At some point in our lives together, I lost all my memories, the act that turned me truly into a dragon. What I remember, is what you and your sister told me I was. Your guard, your friend, and your family. Even if I didn't believe it at first...things just felt right following that path. And soon, it just became reality for me."

"If that's the case, then we are both looking forward only knowing what others said we were. So, if you've been told you're the strongest, the dread, the hated, the loved. You can choose which of those you want to be."

"And the rest, our family, our friend, someone I love so very much. That doesn't change, and it won't. The memories may never come back, even mine..I only know before I met you two and after the incident. But in several centuries, it won't matter."

"Don't worry what we did before, why don't you try thinking of what you want to do today? I have it free after all."

Here is my contribution for Fowl Fest day 2 (should I make this a full story?)

Diary of André Price, 16 years old, Portland Oregon (aka the Baby from the wrestling match in the Atlantis Complex)

Dear Diary

Okay, brain very loud right now, need to vent.

Kind of a lot happened today. New guy finally arrived, you know the one everyone was convinced must be some juvie reject because he was being transferred in from out of state. Turns out no, his dads in the military, and new guy’s been dealing with long covid. His names Jayden, he’s really cute. I give him an 8, no 9, no… 9.5/10 (still not quite up there with Jacob, but got just a little more rizz than Liam).

Not the point, moving on.

When we were let out to lunch, Em was waiting for me outside class (she never does this, since it’s embarrassing enough to be my sister, let alone people seeing us together, but I digress) said she had to talk to me. Something weird happened this morning when she was getting on the bus (I drove in today, so I missed this). She spotted all these guys in big SUV’s scoping around the woods near the river. They apparently didn’t look like the normal military we get around here, and they had these devices in like a backpack thing and were scanning around the area. She looked really freaked out, because apparently they were scanning the area where I usually go to practice.

Em is the only person who knows about my powers. Thank God it wasn’t Sophie. That 10 year old little weasel would have ratted me out to Mom faster then I could have bribed her. Downside, Em has been treating me like her own personal science experiment ever since (perks of having the local town mathlete/spelling bee/science fair champion around, while you are but a smooth brained gay little lizard) but I guess it’s not all that bad. I know way more about my powers now then I did at the start of the year. I’ve gone from lighting little fires when I look at twigs hard enough to being able to jumpstart my car with electricity.

But maybe that’s not such a good thing.

After school Em and I drove out to investigate. We decided not to get too close, giving ourselves an excuse to be there by picking up Mr Hernández’s dog Chika (still the most adorable Pitbull I’ve ever seen, and a total wimp) and taking her for a walk since he’s still recovering from surgery.

Em was right, a whole swarm of men in black vans with the word A.C.R.O.N.Y.M, stitched onto their uniforms (none of them were even slightly attractive! Total let down). But they were scanning around the old well, exactly where I’ve been practicing for months. That must mean they’re looking for me.

We must have made a noise or something, because one of the men pointed and shouted in our direction. We ran, they ran after us, but they didn’t catch us. I think someone on the team, someone who likes to believe they have sense, must have told them to let us go. After all, we were just kids being curious (shows what they know).

Instead of going home, Em suggested we pick up Dairy Queen and hang out for a few hours. She said it was to throw off suspicion in case these A.C.R.O.N.Y.M guys decided to keep an eye on us. I think she just wanted to get me to pay for Dairy Queen, since I’m not reckless with my money like she is. We got Chika a puppuccino from Starbucks (such a spoiled puppy, but she deserved it after our fright in the woods). While we were there, we saw flyers being put up for a wrestling event that’s coming to town next week. Apparently the Jade princess is gonna be there (you’d think our family’s collective obsession with wrestling would have died down somewhat since that accident when I was a baby. Nope.) so we'll probably all being going.

We were just about to head home when I saw something else weird. Four people parked up outside the general store arguing. There was this tall, bald muscle guy (a 10/10), a tall blonde who looked like tall guys sister (Em informed me she was a 10/10. She was totally having a case of lesbian-itus), this small child in an oversized hoodie (Very loud, could hear them over the entire parking lot), and a dark haired guy in a suit (a 100/10, are you kidding me??? Edward Cullen wishes he looked like this dude!!!). I only took notice of them because I heard the kid in the hoodie shouting something about “magic” and “human babies”. I mean… that’s me! I was a human baby (Shocking I know) and I do have powers (maybe magic???). It felt like too much of a coincidence for both the A.C.R.O.N.Y.M guys, and the hottie bunch (+small child) to all be here on the same day.

All this, and I still have algebra homework to do.

Update.

Hot vampire guy is downstairs with muscle man and blonde lady. They’re asking for me!

[anime-writing-everything]

How I want to write (and read) the judgment day in fics where it is kayfabe compliant, Rhea/Dom is not and has never been toxic, and Rey Mysterio is a deadbeat (who wants to be better eventually). This is mostly gonna focus on Dom since he’s my favorite.

Also please note, I’m new to the fandom and most of what I know is based off what I’ve found in tiktok, YouTube, and here. But I think I’ve got the general gist of the bigger things about this group whom I’m growing to adore as my comfort group.

Early Life:

One major change for Kayfabe is that in my mind we never know who Dom’s bio dad is. Rey and Angie were having trouble consummating, and one night while they were drinking with Eddie and his wife they all had a foursome. This is around the time the doctors projected Angie got pregnant and since they knew that they had been having trouble it was likely Eddie was the father. They told him and he said they would be great parents, he just wants to be in the boys life. He was given the position of godfather. Eddie straddled the line between uncle and father a lot but Rey didn’t mind that. The custody battle still happens almost exactly how it occurred including the announcement but after the battle it was discovered that the test results were mixed up at the lab and that the results for theirs was inconclusive/lost. Eddie and Rey decided that Dom should decide if they do the test again and Dom says no, that he’s okay with two dads instead. When Eddie dies not long later Dom vows to never find out unless it’s a medical necessity because he doesn’t want to potentially lose that connection. He has a very close relationship to Eddie’s family because they know about the arrangement too.

One of Dom’s major issues with his dad is this battle, he would have told them he would love them both equally if they had just asked instead of fighting over him like a prize on live television. He feels as though they did not consider his feeling at all during this event, especially since their fighting led to him being out in foster care for months until it was resolved and he did not like his foster family (they weren’t nice).

He calls Rey dad/jefe, he considers Eddie papa/padre

He was an autistic/adhd child who has issues such as hypersensitive hearing, moments of being nonverbal, anxiety/depression, texture issues, and more. He went nonverbal during the custody battle for a week, he went nonverbal after Eddie’s death for almost a month.

Other wrestlers who are close to Rey became uncles and aunts of Dom. Edge is Dom’s honorary godfather (note apparently he has 7 does anyone know who they are), Batista and Randy Orton (who is close to Rey in real life) are others uncles who really adore him. All of them help train him to wrestle when he decides to pursue that.

Like Dom has stated Rey had a bad habit of putting work first. He missed many of his children’s birthdays, christmases, graduations, and other school events (such as soccer games) and made up for it with gifts. Rey didn’t realize how much he missed and how much that hurt them until after Dom joined judgment day when Aaliyah got in his face about it.

Speaking of he adores his little sister and his mother, but he’s annoyed that they would always tell him to not bring up his complaints and ruin the few moments they had as a family. He felt as though it wouldn’t be so few if he had the chance to speak but whenever he tried to do it, he always backed down seeing them get upset. He’s an older sibling by nature and he wants to protect them, even from his displeasure.

He had some temper issues in school which caused him to get into fights. He was also relatively smart, but he prefers doing research on things that interest him. He’s the type of guy to go down a Wikipedia rabbit hole.

When he came to WWE events and Rey wasn’t around, people who had an issue with Rey (other wrestlers/crew/etc) made their problems known to him. He was getting yelled at and threatened at a very young age. He has made his peace about most of it (or at least he thinks he has) but still holds a very big grudge against CM Punk and Brock Lesnar.

He has two guardian angels, his mothers brother (from the ghost story segment) and Eddie, who are literally always watching him and so proud

Pre-Judgment Day:

He was so incredibly grateful to be able to fight Seth Rollins in response to what he did to his dad, but he feels like everyone around him thinks he got the shot because of his dad

In hind sight he should’ve just escaped the cage and won against Rollins but he wanted to prove he could pin such a legend.

He’s protective over his sister, so he knows he really didn’t react well over the Buddie situation but can you blame him

He loved fighting on a team with his dad, those moments will be some of his most treasured moments after he turns on him

His dad has a bad habitat of deciding on their matches, strategies, and even outfits without giving Dom a say. Rey is doing it because he wants to put Dom in the best position he can for when he eventually goes solo but even when several others (Randy, Edge, Aaliyah/Angie) point out he’s stifling his son and making him seem weak/reliant Rey doesn’t listen.

Fighting Judgment Day

Dom feels bad, but secretly he completely understands why TJD betrays his uncle. His uncle is great a lot of the time but has a crazed/sadistic side that he doesn’t trust or like being around.

TJD had no problems with Rey until they realized he was working with Edge. Because Dom is a team with Rey they figured he also knew and was working with Edge. Meanwhile Dom had no idea anytime Edge was coming to help them, and when he started see the pattern tried to convince his dad to stop. It wasn’t any of their business and it was quite literally painting a target on their backs. Rey not listening about this was the start of the end.

TJD realized quickly that Dom was not getting a say in anything and that’s why they decided to try recruiting him. He kept choosing his father, so they treated him like the enemy even though they had no hard feelings against him (this was actually something Dom liked, it made him feel like people were actually listening to him when he made a choice). They’ll also admit not all of their attempts to get him to see their way was conducive or healthy, but they did apologize afterwards and vowed to protect him and never let him get majorly hurt ever again.

He is on the edge over his loyalty for weeks but ultimately decides to join them after Rey sides with Edge after the spear incident and when he finds out Rey is going to replace him as a partner for CATC. He isn’t planning to do more than declare it until his sees Edge wearing a lucha mask during their entrance, that plus not getting to celebrate their victory sets him over and in the heat of the moment he acts. TJD finds it hilarious and back him 100% because they want to prove they trust him and his ideas from the start.

Judgment Day

First thing the group does is sit down and discuss everything that happened so far. Apologies and amends are made. Plans are put into place. They decide that they’re gonna make it seem like they manipulated Dom into everything as a way for him to have an out of the stress of betraying his father gets to him. Dom is only okay with this because he sees the potential of seeming like he’s easily manipulated in future altercations.

He and Rhea are not together right away, it’s several matches later that they discuss it and it takes all of them sitting down again and making sure Dom doesn’t feel pressured/coerced before she even entertains the idea of getting together.

Dom wants to be taken seriously by his dad for all of the past wrongs. He wants his dad to truly reflect on his controlling/deadbeat ways. But things just keep adding up: his dad is unrepentant, doesn’t take his son seriously (he wants to have a fight with his dad and he doesn’t think that’s a bad ask), and especially the spanking on live television has pushed Dom farther away. TJD were pissed seeing that move. When he’s making that speech about his dad being a deadbeat, he starts feeling too vulnerable and decides to talk about the car thing to not bring up how truly hurt he was his dad gave Edge a Lucha mask.

He decided when he joined TJD he wants to change his style up a bit, do less of his dads moves (one because it feels weird/almost dishonorable and two to differentiate himself more) which is why he ends up looking weaker/needing more help.

TJD truly does feel like a real family (he doesn’t know it but Damien/Rhea/Finn only started feeling like a family when they finally had him with them). The other three are super protective over him and want nothing but the best for their boy. They have timers set on their phone to make sure he’s drinking enough water, eating (he forgets to when he’s doing interesting things), and taking any medication he needs.

Dom starts to feel comfortable to explore his identity with them, something that he always thought would disappoint his dad. He loves feeling pretty (dresses or other cool clothes, makeup, etc). Rhea loves helping him shop and do makeup. Currently I have no plans on making him trans just a boy who likes presents more feminine. At most I would make him non binary or gender fluid.

Edge was definitely in his bad mode during their match, which is why Dom was so nervous. But after a few months Edge reaches out over text, and all it says is: “Sorry Dom. Proud of you kiddo. Give your dad hell until he figures his shit out” but that doesn’t mean he’ll go easy on Dom if they ever face off again.

Randy and Dom don’t talk until after the war games match. He comes up to TJD while they’re licking their wounds and when they looking like they’re about to fight him off he turns to Dom, “Hated to do that to you kid, but no nephew of mine is getting special treatment. By the way, give your dad more grief, all of us told him he was going to drive you away and he didn’t listen. He deserves it”

Dom did not like Rhea bringing up Becky Lynch’s daughter during her smack talk. When they left the stage he stayed silent for over two hours. When TJD finally got the courage to ask about it, he explained that it reminded him too much of being his dads collateral damage growing up, but he didn’t want to be unreasonable, ungrateful or unsupportive of his family. The rest of them made sure to explain to him that they would never do anything to make him uncomfortable, that they would always listen to his boundaries, and that they love him. Rhea even apologized to Becky away from the cameras.

That moment when Rhea told Dom that he couldn’t come back if he didn’t win back his title was bluster because she felt like she couldn’t show favoritism/weakness while Damien and Finn were fighting but almost as soon as the group got off the stage Damien and Rhea were apologizing to Dom and telling him how much they loved him/how proud they are of him. Damien felt really bad about throwing him under the bus, and promised to make it up to him. They all are human beings, tempers rise and amends are made.

Dom always felt like he had to be the good kid when he was with his dad, so when he came to TJD and got free range to be a menace to any of their opponents it was like he got back a part of life he missed out on. And TJD will defend him and his menace behavior until death, they see how he lights up when he pisses people off.

He does the ex-con Dom shit as mental warfare to his dad. His dad called the cops on him so he gets to suffer the embarrassment and shame that comes with seeing that.

Of all the people who his dad hangs around with now, he hates Dragon Lee. It just feels like Dragon Lee is a replacement (a respectable lucha son for his dad to finally have)

Dom and Rey (how I would resolve their issues)

Eventually Rey is put up against an enemy like Brock Lesnar who goes too far in a match. Dominik (and TJD) was out there watching under the guise of fucking with his dad but he was really just worried. When the guy goes too far he and the others help Rey avoid serious injury.

The two of them form a temporary truce to work together preferably as a tag team (maybe the enemy is currently one part of the tag team title holders). The two of them win the titles and defend them for a couple of months. During this time Rey learns to listen to his son and let him become a partner instead of his baby. He also starts showing up for him when he’s doing Judgment Day business.

Eventually they lose the title in a way where Rey realizes he’s not getting any younger.

The next week he brings Dom out and announces that he wants to retire. Dom is shocked, but he’s even more so when Rey says that he wants his last match to be against Dom at whatever next big event is coming up. And that he wants to put his mask on the line. Dom is forced to accept by the crowd.

During the build up to the match Rey continues to show up for his son showing that he’s learned from their last team up and he’s not going away anytime soon

During their match the two give it their all, but eventually Dom pins Rey. 1,2, Dom let’s go before 3 shaking his head because he does WANT this to end. Rey and Judgment Day (they still don’t like Rey but respect him and came to be ringside support but not cheating this time) tell him he has to, that they have to finish this. Dom and Rey continue. Dom eventually pins his dad while crying. 1,2,3 Dom wins.

Rey is so proud of his son hugging his son but there’s something else he needs to do. And takes off his mask in the ring, giving it to Dom. He’s not gonna force Dom to become the next Rey Mysterio, but he wants Dom to know that he has earned his mask and that he can carry it with him always (physically or metaphorically)

Dom and Damien

Damien is the most protective of Dom, loves when Dom hides behind him or relies on him

Dom loves having someone taller than him around

Damien loves to read, Dom loves listening to Damien read

Their love languages are acts of service and touch.

Dom and Finn

Finn is like “is anyone gonna adopt this child” and doesn’t wait for a response.

Love languages are words of affirmation and touch (and fighting Rey Mysterio)

Dom and Rhea (slight maturity)

Rhea is a domme and Dom is her sub, but they do occasionally switch if one of them need it.

Dom was not happy about how she reacted to Jey and Drew but she apologized as soon as she figured out he was upset.

Love languages are words of affirmation, touch, and acts of service.

In the cases of Poly Judgment Day

Finn is queerplatonic with Rhea and Dom but romantic with Damien

Damien is romantic with Finn and Dom but queerplatonic with Rhea. He is also Dom’s dom.

Dom and Rhea are obviously still romantic

If they do a Finn betrayal

Finn planned to destroy TJD from the inside, that’s why he joined. He always planned to go back to Liv and AJ

He started getting second thoughts when TJD became a family following Dom’s joining

He was okay when he and Damien got the tag team titles, but when they lost them and Damien took the WHC title/didn’t want to get their titles back he started growing resentful of their family. He feels like he is taken for granted and overlooked.

That’s when he got back into contact with Liv

He takes JD McDonagh with him because he never felt as much like family (because of Damien)

His only regret is that he betraying Dom, and he truly loves Dom

[kanerallels]

For the three sentence (or paragraph) fic challenge: Kanera but the AU is Hera was the jedi, not Kanan.

This, uh. This got longer than I expected, so it's going under a cut!

He’d thought the Jedi were gone, all killed when he was a teenager. He’d seen the wanted posters for the survivors, the warnings that they couldn’t be trusted, the propaganda— not that he’d ever really believed it.

And he’d watched them all dwindle, until there was no one left. It was just the Empire, ruling over them all.

But then, Kanan had come to Gorse. And he’d met the most incredible woman in the galaxy— beautiful, smart, an amazing pilot, and brave.

Finding out that Hera Syndulla was a Jedi wasn’t really a shock. He was certainly surprised, but it made so much more sense— the way she’d managed to pull off some of the tricks, flying and otherwise, that she had. The way she’d stared at him when he’d offered to help her, like she could see through him, before accepting his help. The fact that she was still traveling alone.

Even now, after dropping off  Zaluna, she was getting ready to politely but firmly send him on his way. He could tell. Kanan still couldn’t tell why exactly she’d let him help in the first place, but he knew she was usually a solo act in her fight.

As they made it to the hangar where her ship was waiting behind closed doors, Hera turned to him, her expression more hesitant than he’d expected.

“Wait,” he blurted out, and she lifted a curious eyebrow at him.

Kanan could have said anything. He could have told her that, ever since he first met her in that alleyway, he’d known he would never meet someone who called to him like she did. He could say that when she’d saved his life on the Star Destroyer, she’d practically glowed. She’d looked at home in the pilot’s seat, and using the Force, she looked like she had a purpose.

He could have told her that, when he was very young, his parents had died, killed by the Black Sun when they tried to fight back against them. He and his younger sister had changed their names and fled, living in fear for years. The Black Sun had never come after them, but it had been a long time before they’d felt at ease again.

He could have told her that the Jedi had saved his planet as a kid, or that he’d never liked the Empire, especially once his sister Devorah had enlisted when she turned 18, or that he’d never been one for a cause until now.

But all he found himself saying was, “You don’t have to do this alone.”

Hera’s eyes widened in surprise for just a moment before she frowned. “And what makes you think I need help?” she asked, but Kanan could tell she was mostly teasing, with a hint of curiosity.

“Don’t get me wrong, you’re incredibly good at what you do,” Kanan told her, deciding honesty was the best policy. “I almost believe you could do it all on your own. But that’s the thing— none of us can. We all need someone to watch our backs and take care of us. To help pick us back up.”

“And you want to be that someone?” Hera asked. “You know, it’s not exactly a sought after position. Not with— with who I am.”

He didn’t miss the slight hitch in her voice, the loneliness. Kanan understood it. “I do. For you, at least. And I’m willing to take the risk if you’re willing to have me around for a little while longer.”

Hera nodded slowly, her expression thoughtful. Kanan could tell she was considering it, but not what she would choose. “It won’t be safe,” she said quietly. “I’m not safe to be around, not really.”

Lifting an eyebrow, Kanan said, “Considering the last few days, do you really think safety is my biggest priority?” Not my own, anyways.

That made her laugh, which had been his goal. “Okay,” she agreed. “But if things go wrong, I have the right to throw you out.”

“Absolutely. It’s your ship, after all, Captain.” But Kanan had a feeling things wouldn’t go wrong. He had a feeling he would stay with Hera for as long as he possibly could.

Call it a good guess, or fate, or maybe even the Force. Who knew? All Kanan was really sure of was that he wasn’t planning to leave Hera. Not if he could help it.
