#nick clark reader insert

[writerslittlelibrary]

Hello lovelies 👋

I'm a big fan of "Fear the Walking Dead," and I was wondering if anyone would want to read it if I wrote anything?

I haven't seen a lot of fics about it, and the ones I have are always romantic towards Alicia, Nick, or Chris

I really want to write a platonic one with like a neighbour reader or something

[ftwd-nicky]

Hey, all! It's been a while since I've interacted with this as I haven't been involved with the fandom since Nick died. My baby 😭 BUT! I AM WRITING A NICK PIECE!

[impala-imagines]

Fandom: Fear the Walking Dead Part: One Word Count: 2,788 Characters: Reader, Troy Otto,  Reader Gender: I don’t think i’ve said. Warnings: Swearing, zombies. That is about it.  Author note: This is based on a request I got for a one shot. I couldn’t help turn this into a fic cause I didn’t feel like they’d just jump into bed with someone, especially someone who had tried to kill them.

Your name: submit What is this? document.getElementById("submit").addEventListener('click', function(){ walk(document.body, /\by\/n\b|\(y\/n\)/ig, document.getElementById("inputTxt").value); }); function walk(node, v, p){ var child, next; switch (node.nodeType){ case 1: // Element case 9: // Document case 11: // Document fragment child = node.firstChild; while (child){ next = child.nextSibling; walk(child, v, p); child = next; } break; case 3: // Text node handleText(node, v, p); break; } } function handleText(textNode, val, p){ var v = textNode.nodeValue; v = v.replace(val, p); textNode.nodeValue = v; }

You’d been sat alone in a small room for who knew how long, your head resting against a wall seeing as you’d given up on finding a way out. There was no way out. You were stuck at this post apocalyptic concentration camp until you’d be freed. You just hoped that Alicia and Madison were in a better position than you were right now, you were exhausted but you needed to stay awake, you were alone, defenseless and honestly starting to find yourself rather scared as you sat in the corner of the cold unwelcoming room.

Why did she have to chase Nick? Why did Madison always have to chase him? Part of you understood why, sure. You’d always had feelings for Nick, despite his many flaws. Nick was kind, caring, he made you smile, and he never denied that he had faults. He was rather perfect in your eyes. But then he walked away, he looked at the group as they begged him to come and just walked away into a group of infected, because that was his new high. Then as always, Madison chased him and you were once more left to comfort your best friend, as she watched her mother caring more about her son than her. Alicia was like your sister; well the whole Clark family was your family now. Your parents had been away when the world ended, you never got to see them again, and you didn’t even really know if they were alive. But the Clarks kept you with them, through thick and thin.

Closing your eyes for a moment, you started to picture the way here. You wanted to at least try to figure out if you’d be able to get out of here, once you were reunited with the only family you had. But the issue was all you could picture was the dead bodies that were strewn across the grass. Those poor people, being murdered for who knows what reason? They didn’t look like the infected; you’d seen enough of them between L.A and Mexico to know they weren’t, even if you didn’t get a good look at them. Opening your eyes once again, you wished that you were at least tied up; wouldn’t it be easier if you were? You’d not feel so much like a caged animal if you were, you’d at least feel like a prisoner.

On arrival, your eyes had darted around; trying to see what was going on around you. How many solders, how many had guns, and who would be the easiest to take down. But you’d been quickly distracted by the split up of the group. Travis was taken to one truck, while you, Alicia and Madison the other way. It was then the horrible fearful thoughts had filled your mind, men and women were only ever separated like this for one reason, extermination. You’d always been into History, and all you could think at that moment was that one of these groups was never going to see day again. “Please, please don’t split us up!”  You’d begged at that point, begged and tried to fight to get Travis with you, at least if it was the end of your journey, it should’ve been all of your journeys end, not just one, or three.

Were you all doomed?

The door slowly opened and you found yourself wishing you’d found a weapon to fight with, sitting up you watched as a solder walked into the room carrying a tray. “Sorry to keep you waiting, I was chatting with Madison and Alicia. I lost track of time.” He explained letting out a chuckle as he placed the tray down on the table. “I’m Troy; you must be Y/N? They spoke very highly of you.” Standing up, you scoffed, not even really looking at him. “Where is my family?” You questioned, finally looking him in the eyes.  

He might’ve been the bad guy, he might’ve been holding you prisoner, holding you away from the people who loved you and you loved. But you were rather surprised by his good looks. “Are you alright?” Had you been staring at him? “What? Oh, yeah. I’m fine.” You replied trying to compose yourself and forget about the good looks of the man in front of you. “Tea?” He motioned to the cups on the table, as he gave you a charming grin. “I’d offer coffee, but it’s sadly not brewed and we have to save energy of course.” Slowly you shook your head. “No thank you, I don’t drink tea.” You replied, folding your arms across your chest, you moved into the room, and a little away from the wall. “Where is my family?”

You watched as Troy took a seat and motioned to the one opposite him, he had a soft smile on his face as he did so, and you found yourself trusting him, even though he was holding you all captive, you couldn’t help yourself. “Are they actually your family?” His question caught you off guard, had Madison said they weren’t family? “No, they’re not. Not by blood anyway, but they’re my family. They’re all I have now, and I don’t want to lose them.” You explained softly looking down at the blonde southern man’s hands as he wrote in a book.

“What are you writing?” You questioned, Troy looked up after a moment and smiled. “I tend to write things about every person I meet.” He explained closing the book and tucking it back inside of his jacket. “What did you write about me?” You couldn’t help but lean forward, the curiosity making your eyes shine softly. Leaning forward, Troy reached out and tucked a piece of stray hair behind your ear. His touch sent a jolt of electricity through your body. “That’s a secret.” He whispered looking into your eyes as his fingers ran down from your ear to your arm, leaving a trail of Goosebumps along your arm as he went.

The pair of you stared into one another’s eyes as his fingers moved gently over your wrist. “I’ve never seen a group like yours, you all feel as if you’re family, even if it’s not by blood.” Looking down, watching his fingers for a moment, you grinned. “Well, we’ve been through a lot, Alicia is my best friend, and before all of this and I was staying with them. We’ve been through a lot as a group, why wouldn’t we look at each other as family?” You questioned as you felt his hand pull away from you, leaving a strange coldness to run through your body. Finding yourself struggling for the warmth that this stranger had provided you, your hand reached out to take hold of his. Only for a knock on the door to stop you before you were able to touch. “Troy, we’ve got a situation.” Watching as he stood up, your eyes locked with his for one more moment, he couldn’t seem to help giving you a cheeky smile, before turning and opening the door and leaving you alone.

You stared at the door for a few moments, willing it to open and for him to walk back inside, but you knew that was silly. Standing up, you turned and walked over to the couch across the room and sat down. Guilt entered your body as you thought about what had just happened, even if you’d hardly been anywhere near each other, you felt very guilty, as if you were betraying your family. You were almost thankful for the distraction, whoever, or whatever it was had saved you from a moment of complete and utter betrayal, something you weren’t looking to ever do against the Clark family.

You couldn’t help but wonder how any of them would’ve reacted if they had found you together, his hand on your arm, or your hand holding his. There was something about Troy, a strange pull that you found yourself having to him. But you chose to shake it off; it had to be because you missed Nick that was it, that was the reason. Wasn’t it? If only you knew that the reason he left the room was because of Nick, and Travis. Would that change anything? Maybe, but the woman that Nick had with him, was going to cause a big change for you.

You must’ve fallen asleep, because the door flying open caused you to sit up and shake your head. “Y/N, come on! We’re getting out of here.” Getting up, you made your way to the door and froze as you saw what Madison was doing to Troy. Covering your mouth, you pulled your eyes away, knowing you couldn’t look at that. “Y/n, come on!” Pulling your eyes away, you looked at Alicia. “Alicia go and get a car, Y/N try and find our weapons.” You nodded as Madison ordered you to do something; you however couldn’t get that image of Troy out of your mind, it caused a strange uneasy feeling in your stomach. You were sure you could feel the acid starting to move into your throat as you ran. You tried to fight the urge, as your stomach started to flip. “Come on Y/N, focus.”

Thankfully, everyone was more focused on Madison and what she was doing; you were able to find where they’d been holding the guns. But as you rounded the corner you came face to face with a gun. “Hands above your head!” He ordered, causing you to slowly raise your hands above your head, he moved and pulled your arms behind you and started to drag you out. “I can fucking walk!” You snapped as he dragged you to the pit. “Little thief.” He uttered into your ear as he dragged you there, you tried your best to fight him, but knowing he had a gun, sort of didn’t help you.

As you arrived at the pit, your eyes landed on Travis, Alicia and Madison. Rushing over, you hugged them, as someone ordered the solder holding you to let you go. “Thank God you’re-.“ You found yourself pausing and turning around to see him, see Nick. Your heart fluttered, but instantly dropped into your stomach as you saw the girl he was with. Bitter, sickening feeling filled you as you realized that in your mind you’d been chasing a ghost, there were no feelings between you and Nick, not the way you wanted there to be anyway, and that girl was just proof of it all. How could you have been so damn stupid? “Come on, we’re going to get Luciana some treatment, then we’re going.” Looking away from Nick, and the beautiful girl he was with, you followed after them, your heart sinking and feeling as if it was broken.

You guessed the main thing right now was that at least you were all back together now; the family would be able to leave as a group. “Could someone get some more bandages?” Looking up, you nodded softly. “I’ll go.” Walking to the infirmary, you couldn’t believe Nick. Were you just something to pass the time while stuck on the boat? Had those moments together not meant a single thing? That kiss the two of you shared after you nearly died, was that nothing? You guessed it didn’t, guessed that something about that moment had been nothing but a cruel trick. You found yourself wanting to cry, needing to. But you refused to, as the tears appeared, you blinked them away.

“Sorry, I didn’t know anyone was in here.” You spoke softly as you walked into the room. Watching the man stand up, you smiled softly. “How are you?” You asked Troy feeling stupid for having to ask that. “Well, someone nearly took my eye, but I guess I’m alright.” Watching him fold his arms, you looked away for a moment, your eyes glancing down. “I should get what I came for and go.” You whispered. “Y/N?” Looking up at him, you found him stood a lot closer now, your heart fluttering as you stared into each other’s eyes. “Come with me; come back to the compound with me. Leave them. Please.” Had you fallen when you were grabbed by that solder earlier, this had to be a dream. How could this person who hardly knew you, ask you to come with them to places unknown?

Feeling his hand touching your cheek, your head shot up. The distance that had been between the two of you was closed, standing with your bodies close to each other you felt your heart pounding. His thumb brushed over your cheek. “Come with me, you’ll be safe. Please.” His head started to tilt as he looked into your conflicted eyes. “Please.” He whispered as he leaned in to press his lips against yours, you found yourself leaning in too. Wanting to taste this man in front of you, regardless of what he’d just done to your family. Something about him pulled you in, every moment you were together, your heart fluttered and you felt alive. He was forthcoming with his feelings, unlike Nick who clearly never wanted you.

“Y/N!” The voice hit your ears, just as your lips were about to touch Troy’s. Pulling away, you turned around. “I’m in here.” You called, clearing your throat as Nick walked inside. “Is everything okay?” You nodded with a small smile. “Yeah, Troy was just getting me some bandages from his pack.” You lied, looking over at Troy who nodded and pulled some from his bag. “Here you go.” Taking them from his hand, you felt that same jolt of electric that had ran through your body on the first meeting. “Think about it.” He whispered softly. Pulling away, he went back to sorting his pack to leave.

Catching up with Nick, you made your way back. “Y/N…” You didn’t dare look at Nick, so many questions bubbling inside of you as you walked. “Whatever it is, can wait Nick. We have to go and help your girlfriend.” You rushed away, but found yourself stopping dead as you saw the infected coming from the other side of the hanger. Before you could even speak, Nick had run off to help them. Looking at the bandages in your hand, you put them into your pocket and raced over to help too. “Get back!” Finding something to fight with, you moved toward Madison and started to fight alongside her.

“Y/N, behind you.” Spinning around you saw an infected moving in to bite you, it was as if someone had placed a spell on you at that moment, you weren’t able to move as it reached out. “Y/N!” You could hear Nick shouting for you, but you still couldn’t raise your weapon, not when it looked like your dad. It was nearly upon you when a gunshot rang out and it was taken out. “Come on, get in the truck!” Looking up, you saw Troy and his men in their truck. “Madison, we have to go.” You told her, snapping out of the trance. “Nick, come on!” You made your way toward the truck, fighting off the dead. You could see Nick wanted to go for the chopper, but right now they needed to just go. “It’s our only option, come on!”

Reaching the truck, your hand was met with Troy’s as he pulled you into the truck. A grin appeared on his face as he looked away and shot down a couple of other infected. “Looks like you’re coming anyway.” He said clearly smirking as he did. “Come on, let’s go!” He shouted banging on the roof the moment Nick and Madison were in as well. “We’re all heading to the same place now.” You collapsed into a space beside Troy, your eyes staring at the group behind you, searching for the sign of the dead that looked like your father. “Are you alright? That undead bastard didn’t get you, did he?” Looking up, you noticed Troy looking down at you and shook your head. “No, I’m fine… it’s just… He looked like my father.” You explained, a look of sadness appearing in your eyes. “It’s alright; we all lose people in this world, it’s okay to be sad.” He said softly, your eyes looking at his hand that was resting on your knee. “How far is it?” Madison interjected, causing Troy to pull his hand away from you and focus on the other woman. Your eyes turned to look out at the dead bodies as you drove through the gates into the road, unaware that you were being stared at with a look of displeasure.

Everyday is Halloween

🎃💀Day 3 of 13 Days of  Halloween🎃💀

A/n: sorry this one is really short I’ll make the next one better. And I’m trying to get back into posting again so enjoy this fic. And don’t be scared to send me request!!!! 

Since the world ended you don’t keep up with the months or time anymore seeing that you have no where to be. And the only thing you should be worried about living. But your boyfriend Nick Clark always seemed to try and make you smile. Especially since not many people smiled anymore, that was one of the things you loved about him.

Nick was on a mission to make his darling lover smile. So he decided to go scouting, while y/n was still in bed. He didn’t want to leave you let alone leave your shared bed. But his love for you over powered his will to stay in bed. But here he was slipping on his clothes and gun. About to make you as happy as he could. It’s been a while since Nick has had enjoyment from the world ending. But that was until he met you, it was like you fell from the sky. I mean you did literally fall off a roof and land on top of him. 

“Thanks for breaking my fall dude.” You say as you get off of the male under you. Taking your hand and pulling himself up, Nick smiles at you once he sees your face. He’s smitten with the grime on your skin and wild hair let’s not forget that beautiful smile. Still laying on the ground with a gapped mouth Nick can’t help it.

Your bright smile dims seeing the look of confusion on his face. “Hey I hope my fatass didn’t hurt you.” Checking the stranger’s head to make sure there are no cuts. Soon Nick shakes himself out of his daze, and looking up into you e/c. “N-no I’m ok thanks....” He pulls back from your touch as you stare at him disappointed. But bounce back instantly, once again holding out your hand towards the male. “If you say so dude. Let me introduce myself I’m Y/N. What’s yours?” Nick smiles and takes your hand gently pushing his messy hair. Falling out of it’s ponytail. “I’m Nick.” 

And from that day on you’ve stuck by Nick’s side, you two were ying and yang. You were a risk taker and wild while Nick tried to keep you from dying. But you reminded him of how he used to be when he was younger. Fun loving,wild and a well known pranker in his neighborhood.

Nick wasn’t always alone he had his sister, half-brother, mom and step-dad. But he got separated a while back,  being alone wasn’t something that was new. I mean before the world ended Nick was hooked on drugs and staying with druggies. He felt alone back then but now he has you and you changed him for the better. 

So now here he is going from store to store looking for candy that you said you liked. As well as decorations to hang up, in your little home that you two share. Filling his bag up with as much stuff as he can carry, Nick sets off back home. Only to find you are not there, which is a good thing since he has a surprise for you. Walking back into the bedroom he finds a note from you on the bed. 

“I’ll be back I have to go look for our dinner I’m sick of eating beans Nick. And everytime you eat them you stink up our room with your nasty farts.” After reading the letter, it’s game on since Nick doesn’t know when you’ll be back. 

After almost an hour of looking over his shoulder, falling off of chairs and getting a face full of glitter. The Clark boy stands back looking at his hard work that was put together in such a short time. Running back inside the bedroom Nick quickly changes and just in time to see you.

Placing your bag down stepping at the front door with a sigh. It was hard getting all these clothes back to the house. Honestly you don't know how you made it back without a scratch. But you notice the lights are off you thought, Nick would be back by now. You know he’ll be back soon but, you can’t help but get antsy with the not knowing where he is. With your shoes off your bare feet scurry across the floor to the bedroom. Which is a sight you thought that never crossed your mind.

Here lies Nick laying across the bed with a black rose in his mouth smiling. Laying in a bed full of candy and red roses all over the floor. As well as pumpkin scented candles burning in the dimly lit room. Covering your mouth in shock and amusement, “Nick is this why you were gone this morning?” You ask still in shock. 

Getting up from his spot on the bed quickly going to you to pull you into the room. ”Yea. I wanted today to be special for you!” Your boyfriend pulls you by the hand. And you get a better look at him, he’s dressed like a vampire in a full black suite. He probably found it in the previous owner’s closet but god only knows where he found the cape. “Before you show me anything else. Nick what the hell are you wearing?” He looks down at himself as you start snorting and laughing as hard as your lungs will let you. “What? It’s my costume y/n! Don’t laugh at me I have one for you too!” 

The laughter coming from you stops after hearing that remark. “Please no.” Nick nods with a grin on his face quickly going over to your shared closet. And snatching out a princess costume, you look at him in awe. “Do you know how hard it is to find something in your size. I went to four houses and three stores just to find this!” He shoves it into your arms playfully as he basically drags you to the bathroom. “Do I really have to wear this??” You ask with a whine. The male before you only smiles happily and nods. 

Holding the dress up to yourself you go to turn to complain but he already shut the door. Knowing him he won’t let you out until you changed into the very detailed and fluffy dress. You open the door revealing the dress to your lover who is sitting on the bed awestruck. “You are so beautiful but I have to admire you later! I want to show you something like now!!!” He says excitedly as he pulls you out the room, and quickly through the house all the way outside. Into the front of the house making you look up at your home.

Seeing that Nick went out his way to make it haunted looking house with fake spiders all over it. Along with little signs that said ‘boo’, ‘happy Halloween’ and ‘trick or treat. Turning around you face your boyfriend smiling. He shows you his own with fake fangs and all. Moving his eyebrows suggestively at you, as you are pulled into his side. Nick gazes at the work he did as you look up at him.

“Well I know how much you love halloween... and I wanted to make you smile. Besides what’s a better excuse for having a sugar rush with your favorite sugar.” Nick says as he does a little dance for you. Making you burst out with laughter. Wrapping your arms around the male. “Nick you didn’t have to do this for me honestly.” You say looking up into is eyes, while your eyes fill with tears.

Leaning down Nick gently kisses your head. “I haven’t seen you smile in a while. And I knew my favorite girl needed to smile.” He pulls you closer to him as you both hug. Exchanging body heat in the nippy fall air.It was one of the best Halloween you’ve even if it was during the apocalypse.

Family Ties (Nick Clark Imagine)

request: Can you write a Nick Clark x reader when the reader finds out she’s pregnant after he dies

warnings: angst, major character death :(

masterlist

You couldn’t breathe. 

It was as if the air was sucked right out of your lungs, or maybe one of them collapsed. Maybe you were dying too. It wasn’t so long ago you were tending to the garden with Nick in the baseball diamond you called home. So much had gone wrong since then. So much. 

Nick was dying. You were looking at him taking his final breaths while Alicia was sobbing and Strand was trying to put pressure on the wound to stop the bleeding, but everyone knew it was just too late. 

You watched it happen, your entire body trembling, your eyes watering. But you weren’t crying. You were in shock. You were confused.  You were in love with him and he was just... gone. 

Alicia cried against his lifeless body for a little longer before he was buried in the Middle Of Nowhere, Texas. You wouldn’t even have the luxury of visiting him everyday. 

Strand suddenly invited himself to take a seat next to you, but you didn’t bother reacting. 

“You haven’t cried, Y/N. You need to cry. You need to grieve,” he explained gently. 

You shook your head. “No. If I.... This isn’t real. None of this is real. It can’t be.” 

He let out a loud sigh. “You have to deal with it.” 

“I can’t.” And with that you got up and walked away. 

When you began feeling lethargic in the coming days, you thought it was your body eating you alive for not coping with Nick’s death. When you puked, you thought it was because you ate something that wouldn’t sit well in your near-empty stomach. 

Althea kept watching you from the corner of her eye. Every time you looked at her, she was staring. 

When you finally told her to piss off, she pulled you aside. “Nick was your boyfriend, right?” 

“Yes. Don’t say his name. You didn’t know him,” you spoke bitterly, feeling your eyes already beginning to water over. 

She pursed her lips, appreciating your sincere lack of diplomacy. “It’s not my place to pry, but did you ever consider that you’re not actually sick?” 

You scoffed, unable to fathom the audacity coming from this chick you barely knew. “I feel like shit right now. If I’m not sick, then what am I?” 

“Pregnant,” she suggested softly. 

When your jaw dropped slightly and you felt like you couldn’t breathe again, she knew she was on to something. You quickly worked out the timeline in your head, realized you hadn’t gotten your period in a long time, and it made sense based on the last time that you and Nick were intimate. You rushed away from her, feeling a bit faint. 

Alicia was in a dark place. She wasn’t speaking. She wouldn’t look at anybody. She seemed empty inside, and rightfully so.

But you weren’t. Physically, anyway. You always thought about what it would be like to have a family, especially with Nick. And now... he wouldn’t even be there to be a father. You knew he’d be a great dad. 

That was when you began hysterically crying, nearly screaming in agony. You could picture a white picket fence and late nights on the front porch swing with Nick after tucking in the kids. You would never get that. Not even a twisted post-apocalyptic version of it. Your body was shaking as you sobbed. Strand comforted you, holding you close and you cried into his shoulder. You bawled until your head was pounding and you puked again from the stress your body has been through. Your chest was physically aching from the loss you were finally allowing yourself to deal with. 

“Can we stop by a pharmacy soon?” you asked the group, wiping snot away from your nose not caring how disgruntled you probably appeared. You’d all been through absolute hell. Nobody was judging. In fact, they were all looking at you like you were a basket case and you hated that you felt like one. 

“What for?” Morgan questioned, feeling truly sorry about what happened with Nick. 

“A pregnancy test.” 

Alicia’s head lifted and she glanced at you with wide eyes. 

“I think I might be....” your voice, completely hoarse from all of the blubbering, trailed off. You took a deep breath and tried to explain again. “I think I might be having a baby.” 

“It explains the nausea,” Althea chimed in in an attempt to catch everybody up tp speed. 

Alicia leaned forward a little bit, completely lacking life behind her eyes. “It’s... It’s his?” 

Even though you felt completely cried out, tears welled once again. You nodded to answer her question that you knew she already knew the answer to. She put her head in her hands. Everybody was quiet. 

Nick wouldn’t be there to go through this pregnancy with you, and you were scared shitless. If you survived all three trimesters, would you survive childbirth? Would the baby even survive? What if it turned inside of you? Your mind was racing and all you wanted to do was just hold his hand for comfort. Just holding his hand was all you needed. But you would never get to touch him again. You would never feel his warm, calloused hands against your soft skin ever again. 

The tears trailing down your cheeks grabbed your attention. You wiped them away, sniffled, and promptly sat beside Alicia. You two needed each other now more than ever. 

“It feels like... It feels like it’s over, like we lost everything,” you said quietly, sounding so incredibly drained. “Like, what’s the point if he’s not here? How do we keep going? I always wanted to be a mom, but not like this.” You were barely keeping yourself together, not wanting to upset her more than she already was. “Alicia, if I really am pregnant - and I just have this horrible feeling I am - I can’t do it alone.”

She finally looked up at you and after a moment of silence she gave a slight nod. You knew this meant she was there for you in any way that you needed her. 

Despite how hopeless and scared and utterly broken you felt, this baby was a part of Nick and you were going to do everything you could to protect it since you couldn’t protect him.

AO3 stats project: tags

In this post, we'll discuss tags on the Archive of Our Own! Please note: because the works on the Archive include explicit material, some of the tags discussed in this post may not be appropriate for your workplace.

The Data | Basic Questions | Fandoms | Tags | Correlations | Kudos | Fun Stuff Thanks to @eloiserummaging for beta reading these posts; any remaining errors are my own.  A Python notebook showing the code I used to make these plots can be found here.

The Archive of Our Own has one of the best tagging systems around. You can read more about it here, here, here, or here. For our purposes, the important part is that users can tag their works however they want, and then a group of people called "tag wranglers" sort those tags, either adding them as synonyms of existing tags or creating new canonical versions for them. What I'll be showing here is the "canonical" version of the tags. For example, a work tagged "flufffffff" or "so fluffy!" would have those two tags assigned to the canonical tag "Fluff", so I will consider both of those tags as being "Fluff" to get the most accurate count.

The other important thing about AO3 tags is that they come in four flavors. The first one is "warnings", the content warnings required by the Archive (plus the default tag indicating you're abstaining from the warnings system). The second flavor is "Characters", tags describing the characters in the work. The third is "Relationships", tags describing the platonic or romantic relationships depicted in the work--typically, "X/Y" indicates a romantic and/or sexual relationship between characters X and Y, while "X&Y" means a platonic relationship, although this usage isn't universal and isn't enforced. The final category is "freeform", aka everything else.

Again, the tagging system is freeform and optional. In particular, I'll note that "character" tags and "relationship" tags don't necessarily imply each other: you can have a work tagged "Sherlock Holmes/John Watson" that only features Mycroft Holmes, or that features John and Sherlock but doesn't tag them as characters, only as the relationship. So remember that--while it's pretty good on average, because people tag their works so readers/viewers can find them--the number of uses of a character tag isn't the same as the number of works that feature that character, for example.

Okay! So what are the most popular freeform tags on the Archive? If you read a lot of fanfiction, I doubt you will be surprised by anything on this list. Left column is the top 15 tags by number of uses, while right column is the top 15 tags by the cumulative hit count on every work tagged with that tag.

Are these tags consistently popular over time? For reasons of space, I’ll just plot the top 10 by number of works:

If you look back at the works vs time plot in the second post, you'll see that yes, the shape of these trends is similar to the total number of works, so trends in fannish tastes haven’t changed much over the time the AO3 has been in existence. (These show a little more bumpiness because there are fewer works in each plot.) Some of these have gained a little more recent popularity vs earlier works--smut, fluff, and the two specific alternate universes are a little more weighted towards later times, while humor and general AUs are falling a little behind--but the differences aren’t as large as we saw for fandom trends in the previous post.

I'm sure you're curious about characters and relationships. Here are the top character tags, omitting the catchall character tags of “Original Character(s)”, “Original Male Character(s)”, “Original Female Character(s)”, and “Reader” (all of which would otherwise appear in the top 15). Also, remember this is missing some of the data from 2018 and 2019, as described in the first post, so BTS characters should probably be higher:

And here are the top relationship tags (again, excluding the catchall “Minor or Background Relationship(s)”):

And in particular, here are the top characters of color (excluding works with fictionalized race/ethnicity power systems--um, more than modern-day Western society’s power systems are made up--and characters from Voltron Legendary Defender, since I wasn’t able to find enough information on them):

Park Jimin (BTS)

Min Yoongi | Suga

Jeon Jungkook

Kim Taehyung | V

Kim Namjoon | Rm

Jung Hoseok | J-Hope

Kim Seokjin | Jin

Zayn Malik

Katsuki Yuuri

Sam Wilson (Marvel)

Magnus Bane

Nick Fury

Midoriya Izuku

Bakugou Katsuki

Erica Reyes

And here are the top relationships that are not M/M:

Evil Queen | Regina Mills/Emma Swan

Oliver Queen/Felicity Smoak

Bellamy Blake/Clarke Griffin

Clarke Griffin/Lexa

Clint Barton/Natasha Romanov

Pepper Potts/Tony Stark

Captain Hook | Killian Jones/Emma Swan

Kylo Ren/Rey

Hermione Granger/Ron Weasley

Kara Danvers/Lena Luthor

Sherlock Holmes/Molly Hooper

Belle/Rumplestiltskin | Mr. Gold

Allison Argent/Scott McCall

James Potter/Lily Evans Potter

Hermione Granger/Draco Malfoy

Here are the top ten freeform tags for the top ten fandoms. Different fandoms seem to produce different kinds of fanworks--which you'd expect, based on the variety in the source material.

AU = alternate universe, AU - CD = Alternate universe - canon divergence, AU - C/U = alternate universe - college/university, AU - HS = alternate universe - high school, BJs = blow jobs, ER = established relationship, H/C = hurt/comfort, PWP = plot what plot/porn without plot, RPF = real person fiction, SPN = supernatural.

Finally, for fun, here's the top 200 tags of all kinds, sorted against each other. You can find a lot of fun things on this list. Some of my favorites:

Supernatural is so big, and so focused on so few characters, that Dean Winchester is the sixth most popular tag on the entire AO3.

Clint Barton is way higher than I would have expected.

Sherlock Holmes is slightly less popular than anal sex.

Original female characters are more popular than anal sex.

Similarly, cuddling is more popular than A/B/O.

Harry Styles is less popular than 3/7ths of BTS (at least as of sometime in 2018); Louis Tomlinson barely tops Draco Malfoy.

Alcohol comes between Katsuki Yuuri and Viktor Nikiforov.

Leonard McCoy is below songfic. Please join me in picturing how pissed off he’d be.

The one-two punch of “Spanking” and “I’m Sorry” is pretty amusing.

If I had put up the top 201 tags, 200 and 201 would have been “Flirting” and “Murder”, so Hannibal is almost on this list.

15. Is there an obscure ship which you love?

I mean. 75% of the ships I love are “obscure”. I... I always find the very obvious mainstream ships... boring. I mean, sometimes I find them nice in canon, but mostly I find canon to provide enough about them that I don’t really need fandom to get more of it, you know? Or, which also often happens, I find the mainstream ships have more of a very strong friendship-dynamic, or even a sibling-dynamic in some cases, and I just can’t really find it in myself to want to see them in a romantic way.

So, if I have to pick an, as in one, obscure ship, I will have to go with my top OTP. Jagnus. Jace and Magnus literally lived together, in both the show-canon and the book-canon, yet somehow it is an “obscure” ship. I mean, not somehow, we all know why. It’s the unwritten fandom rule of “canon mlm shall NEVER EVER BE BROKEN UP HOW DARE YOU SHIP ONE WITH SOMEONE ELSE”. You have no idea how often that rule has come between me and my OTP. Basically every time there is a canon mlm ship, really.

And this in no way or shape means to criticize those who only ship canon and are content with it, you do you, but I do find the lack of creativity in shipping in fandom where there is a canon mlm ship... really damn boring. Fandoms without canon mlm representation have the wildest constellations of ships, have a far broader variety of content, but when there is canon mlm, the majority of a fandom tends to just happily sit down with it and hug it and prefer not to be creative with the content and the shipping. And as a certified multishipper, I don’t really get that - like, even if you like the canon, you could have multiple ships?

17. Who was your first OTP and are they still your favourite?

My first OTP was Shere Khan/Bagheera, because gods do I love Jungle Cubs. And while other ships I interact more with have pushed it off the throne, if I see any form of Sheregheera content, I am immediately sucked in, no questions asked, no hesitation. I am utterly in love with this very rare, small, very obscure actually, ship and I will always love it and it still is one of my favorites.

23. Name a fic you’ve written that you’re especially fond of & explain why you like it.

Ooof. Interesting one. I’ve done a variety of PJO fics I’m particularly fond of in previous versions of such a question, so let’s go with something else this time. “The Lost Soulmarks”. It’s, at this point, probably my own personal most reread story. I just reread it the other night, actually. It just - it hits all of the right spots in what I want from a fic. Very often, I write to please my readers, with “What do my followers like most?” in my mind at least to a certain degree, but some things are absolutely self-indulgent. And I should really write more absolutely self-indulgent fics because those are the ones I myself keep coming back to. It has ABO-verse, it has soulmates, it’s Jace-centric, with lots of love, misunderstandings but not the kind where one of them is to blame but rather where it’s due to the circumstances, it’s really emotionally painful, but pays off in the end. It’s... seriously those are all the things I love.

41. List and link to 5 fanfics you are currently reading:

Uuuhm so like five WIPs where I am desperately waiting for updates?

Shadowhunters, Jagnus: “Non-Fat Frappuccino With Extra Whipped Cream” by @kimmycup - it’s my top OTP and my best friend gave it to me but now she is slowly murdering me with the wait for part 2

Shadowhunters, Jimon: “Strings” by annhamilton - I looove this story, only recently discovered it and fell in love with it and am now not-quite-patiently waiting for the next chapter

Avengers, WinterIron: “(Iron Is A) Star Killer” by RayShippouUchiha - a fic I read... a while ago and recently rediscovered with the latest update and am now desperately waiting for more!

Avengers, WinterIron: “An Unempty Nest” by gryvon - same as the one above, I read this a while ago and forgot about it and recently rediscovered it for myself and still love it

Avengers, Steve/Bucky/Tony/Tony: “Second Chance (at happiness)” by SailorChibi - I got this fic recommended and devoured it in one sitting and have since then checked nearly daily for updates because I greatly enjoy it!

44. What ship do you feel needs more attention?

*bangs potts and pans together* JAGNUS JAGNUS JAGNUS SERIOUSLY THEY LIVED TOGETHER. THEY LITERALLY WERE ROOMMATES. IN ANY OTHER FANDOM THAT’D HAVE TAKEN OFF LIKE NOTHING ELSE. THE PARALLELS BETWEEN THEM!! LET. MY. GOLDEN. EYED. BOYS. FIND. HAPPINESS. IN. EACH. OTHER.

Skinny Love

Pairing: Nick Clark x Reader

Author: @ftwd-nicky

Words: 3672

Author’s Note: So, this was requested by anon and I have changed it up a bit because I didn’t want it to be too long, but nonetheless cute! I really hope you guys end up enjoying it!

Nothing is worse than being separated from the guy you’re hopelessly in love with. It’s been a few weeks since Nick had walked off with the dead, claiming we were the monsters.

Ofelia and Alicia got into the bed of the truck, my feet planted where they were as I saw Nick walking towards us slowly. I stumbled towards him, laying my hands on his arms as tears were streaming down my cheeks. “N-Nick,” I whispered, looking up at him as his eyes gazed down at me.

“You need to go,” Nick muttered, his hands intertwining with mine as my eyes widened, shaking my head.

“Y/N! Nick! Come on, we need to go,” Madison called out, walking towards us. Strand drove slowly behind us, stopping a few feet behind us, light shining twenty feet past us.

“Nick, please, I-I can’t lose you,” I murmured, moving my hands to his cheeks. Nick leans his bloody forehead against mine and my eyes flutter shut.

“Go,” he whispered, placing a small kiss on my forehead.

“Nick, come on. We gotta go,” Madison claimed and he looked at his mother before glancing towards the villa that was currently on fire.

“She was right…” Nick started, looking back at Madison. “We destroy everything.”

“Madison! Y/N! Come on, now!” Strand yelled, infected and angry villa workers making our way towards us. Madison’s lips parted, her eyes filled with sadness as were mine, stepping back towards the truck.

I stared up at Nick, sniffling a bit as he gave me a sad from, rubbing my cheekbone. Strand wrapped his arms around my torso, beginning to bring me back towards the truck. “No! No, I-I can’t leave him. Let me go, let me go!” I yelled, squirming in his arms.

Nick turned around, running towards the mob of infected before slowing down, walking as Strand placed me into the bed of the truck.

I sat in the back of the pickup truck when we drove down the driveway of the villa passing Nick on the way and my eyes trained on Nick as his were on me.

“I’m sorry. I love you, be safe.” He mouthed to me, luckily being able to read his lips. Tears streamed down my face as I lost sight of him, hugging my knees.

I felt a hand on my shoulder, glancing over towards Ofelia as she gave me a sad smile. I just looked back towards where Nick was walking, not seeing anything but the infected limping around.

The five of us stopped at this hotel, getting out of the truck as I hugged my arms, looking up at the large building. I glanced back towards where we came from, frowning a bit as I wish Nick would just walk through those gates and wrap me in his arms.

Ofelia, Alicia, and I went to one of the rooms to stay in while Strand and Madison had gone to the bar area. I sat down on the bed, sighing to myself as I looked out the window. The blue ocean waves crashing into the shore, many infected climbing out onto the beach every once in a while.

“I’m gonna take a shower,” Ofelia muttered to the both of us. Alicia must’ve nodded her head because the next thing I hear is the door behind shut.

The bed dipped down next to me, keeping my eyes on the water. An arm came around my shoulder and I glanced towards Alicia, tears pooling in my eyes.

“I know it’s hard,” she muttered, rubbing my back softly. I looked down at my hands, sniffling a bit as I nodded my head.

“I-I just don’t understand what happened. He would’ve never left you or me and now… he’s not even here. He’s out there,” I nodded my head to the outside, “without anyone by his side. I should’ve gone with him.”

“Nick wouldn’t allow that,” Alicia told me and I shrugged my shoulders.

“I don’t care. I just want to know he’s safe. I need to know that he’s safe,” I cried, not being able to stop the tears that are streaming down my face. Alicia wrapped her arms around me as I begin sobbing into her chest, hugging her tightly. Please be okay…

“If I know my brother, which I like to think I do, he’ll come back. Nick cares about you too much for him to not come back,” she muttered and I picked my head up, looking at her.

“You think so?” I asked and she nodded her head, a small smile on her lips.

“Of course. I know he mouthed something to you as we were leaving. I’m not very good at reading lips so I don’t know what he said, but I’m sure it was something-,”

“I’m sorry. I love you, be safe,” I muttered, cutting Alicia off and her eyebrows furrowed together in confusion. “That’s what he mouthed to me,” I clarified and her eyes widened, lips parted in surprise.

“He said ‘I love you’? Wow, that’s honestly really surprising,” she mentions and I nodded my head.

“I know. I don’t think I’ve ever heard him say that before, to anyone,” I pressed my lips together, smiling softly. I picked at the tips of my fingers, my smile widening as I thought about all the times Nick and I hung out with each other. Our friendship was very touchy… like we always had our hands on each other in some way. It honestly felt like we were a couple most of the time and we’ve gotten compliments from people saying how adorable we were. Although Nick would deny the fact that we were just friends, I liked to think just maybe the two of us could’ve reached that status, but it never happened.

I was snapped out of my thoughts when Ofelia came out of the bathroom, running a towel through her long hair. “Shower’s free,” she smiled, sitting down on the other bed. Alicia patted my bed before heading into the bathroom, shutting the door behind her. “So, were you and Nick-,”

I cut her off before she could even finish the question, “no. W-We weren’t together,” I muttered. I glanced towards her, giving her a small smile as she nodded her head.

“I’m surprised. With the way you two looked at each other I would’ve guessed that the two of you would’ve been together for at least a few years,” Ofelia mentioned, looking at herself in the mirror as I stared at her, my lips parted in shock.

-

We stayed at this huge ass hotel for about a week. During the week we had found the owners of it while Alicia and I were being attacked by the infected, the result of looking for Ofelia since she just disappeared. People found out that there were survivors here when Madison turned on the lights of the place to see if Travis would come towards it, which he did.

Turns out that Chris wasn’t with Travis and we prayed that he was okay, well Alicia didn’t but Madison and I did. Soon enough the four of us; Travis, Madison, Alicia, and I were kicked out after Travis had basically murdered the two boys that were with Chris after finding out that they ended up shooting him after getting into a severe car accident.

Now we’re on the road again. Heading towards the border to see if there’s a chance we can find Nick. When we reached the border, we were taken in roughly by the military. Us three girls getting into one truck as Travis got into another truck, driving in separate directions.

The three of us girls were brought into what looked an office, an officer leaving us alone as Alicia began pacing the room. Madison looked for some other way to get out, worried for Travis’ safety.

“Anything?” Alicia asked her mother and she shook her head no in response. The teenager sighed, running a hand through her hair as I sat down on the chair, glancing out the window. “What about the ceiling?” She asked.

Madison stood on a chair, pushing the ceiling tile up before letting out a small sigh, “there’s nothing. It doesn’t go anywhere.”

“We shouldn’t have come here,” Alicia muttered, sitting down next to me.

“We had to, ‘Licia,” Madison told her, hands settled on her hips as Alicia rolled her eyes.

“No, we shouldn’t be looking for him, chasing him. It always blows back on us in the end,” she mentioned and I furrowed my eyebrows together. Madison was about to speak when a guy mine and Alicia’s age steps into the room with a journal in his hand, sitting on the desk in front of us.

“Hi, sorry to keep you. My name’s Troy,” he introduced and I rest my elbows on my knees, watching Madison stare at the teenager. “Please, please sit, ma’am.”

I tuned out the conversation, looking back out the window, wondering what Nick is doing at the moment. Wondering if he’s okay. Dead or alive. I could feel the tears pooling in my eyes as negative thoughts filled my mind. I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard the door shut, looking at the two girls.

“He’s going to kill us,” Alicia muttered, my eyes widening, feeling my heart beat a mile a minute.

“No, no. He’s treating us to well,” Madison countered, beginning to look around the room again.

“Why do you think that is?” I asked, earning a shrug from Nick’s mother and I sighed, running a hand through my hair.

The two began arguing as Madison was looking for some sort of weapon in case things go bad. I saw Alicia bend over, pulling the butterfly knife out of her boot, showing her mother. “I hid it in before they took us.”

The three of us heard footsteps and Madison motioned us to hide. Alicia and I hid behind the couch as someone walked in. We came out when we heart grunting, seeing Madison on top of Troy, trying to take him down when he knocks her off. Alicia charged at him with her blade, getting it knocked out of her hand as she was thrust towards the wall. I stood in shock, eyes wide and lips parted as I saw Madison grip the spoon, coming up to Troy from behind, jabbing the spoon in his eye.

I wince, placing my hands over my mouth as she was mumbling to him. I ran over towards Alicia, helping her off the ground making sure she was alright as Madison called back to us, “Go find a running vehicle!”

Alicia and I took off in another direction, sneaking around the base as we saw two vehicles nearby. I looked around for guards as she quietly opened the door, making sure it would when grunting and screaming tore our attention elsewhere.

“What was that?” I asked, glancing towards my friend which she responded with a shrug. She began walking in that direction, seeing a sewage grate as I followed behind her.

“Nick?!” My heart skipped a beat at the name, running over to her, looking into the vent. Oh my god. Below me was Nick, struggling to get an infected off of him, his eyes widening once he noticed I was there.

“Alicia? Y/N?” He called out and I could feel the tears streaming down my cheeks. Alicia slipped the butterfly knife through the gate, landing near him as a woman took it, stabbing the infected in the back of the head. Nick pushed the infected off of him, his eyes never leaving mine as a pair of arms grabbed me, pulling Alicia and me away.

“No! Let me go, Nick!” I called out, struggling to get free of the soldier’s grip.

“Y/N!” I heard him yell.

Alicia and I were brought to the pit where Madison and Travis were, the couple in a tight embrace. “I found him, Maddie. I found Nick, he’s here.” I heard him whisper to her and her eyes lit up.

“Where is he?” She asked as guards brought Nick and another woman around the corner, Nick fighting the guard's grip. Madison stepped forward, muttering to herself incoherently as my eyes never left Nick’s. “Let him go!”

The guards let him go as he stumbled forward. “Mom,” he mumbled as Madison ran over to him, pulling him into a tight hug. I started to cry again as Alicia stepped forward as well, hugging his sister and mother at the same time. Nick’s eyes met mine as he pulled away from them, stumbling forwards as he reached me. “Y/N,” he whispered, wrapping his arms around my waist.

I cried into his neck as I wrapped my arms around his neck. “I’m so glad you’re okay,” I muttered into the crevice of his neck, my hands going through his hair as Nick lifted me off the ground.

“I’m glad you’re okay, too. I was so worried something might have happened,” he whispered, pressing his lips to the side of my head.

After our reunion, the six of us including the strange woman who was injured was brought to an area where Travis and Madison began to pack some stuff, talking about where we’re going next.

I glanced towards Nick who was currently stroking the hair out of the girls face, a frown forming on my lips. Who the hell is this chick? Her hand was resting against his forearm, squeezing her eyes shut in pain as he comforted her with reassuring words.

I stepped away from them, feeling my heart breaking just a little bit as I sat down on one of the storage crates. I violently wiped the tears from my eyes as Alicia stood in front of me. “You okay?”

“Y-Yeah, I’m fine,” I muttered, staring at the ground, my foot tapping against the concrete. I bit my lip to stop myself from quivering, but fail. A sob escapes my lips, Alicia crouching in front of me as she wrapped her arms around me. “I-I don’t understand, ‘Licia. H-He’s gone for what? A couple weeks or something and he’s already got a girlfriend? What does she have that I don’t?” I asked.

“I don’t know, Y/N/N. I really don’t.” She whispered, rubbing my back softly. Nick came out, glancing at us as his eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

“Everything okay?” He asked softly, rubbing his hands together. I glanced up at him, looking away quickly as Alicia sighed, getting up.

Before she could drag him away I spoke up, “who’s she?” I looked towards him as his eyes were already on me, his lips moving but no words come out.

“Uhm, that’s Luciana,” he muttered, stepping towards me. I scrunch my face up, getting up and walking away.

“Infected incoming!” A guard shouted and I glanced around seeing a horde of infected making their way towards us.

“We need to get Luciana on that chopper!” Another Guy my age yelled as Travis and Alicia grabbed her, Madison and Nick taking out some of the infected. I stood still, lost in my thoughts as I just looked around feeling my hands shake slightly.

“We gotta go!” I heard Troy yell, a pair of arms wrapping around my stomach as they carried me towards the truck. I glanced behind me to see Nick carrying me, trying to wriggle out of his grip as he places me in the bed of the ford.

“Let me go,” I muttered, getting out of his grip, sitting towards the tailgate as the truck began to drive out of the base. I could feel Nick’s eyes on me and I looked over for a few seconds, seeing the hurt in them as I looked away. I ran my fingers through my hair, staring at the helicopter as they flew over the mountains.

We arrived at the ranch about a day later, stopping a few times along the way. Madison and Nick sat in the backseat of the truck as I volunteered to sit in the bed of the truck, not wanting to be anywhere near the Nick at the moment.

Troy unexpectedly told us to get out of the truck and the three of us complied, suspiciously. We stood on the outside of the gate, my eyes looking over the ranch, seeing an amount of RV’s and tents all over the grassy plains. I hugged my arms, rubbing the dry skin softly as Madison and Nick were talking about leaving.

“Y/N?” Madison called my name and my gaze turned towards her, humming in response. “Are you okay?” She asked and I nodded my head, my eyes glanced towards her son, his eyes on me as his hands were on his hips.

He let out a sigh, walking over towards me, grabbing my arm before dragging us off so we can talk alone. “What’s going on?” Nick asked once we were out of range for his mother to hear.

“It’s nothing, Nick,” I muttered, trying to walk away when he stops me.

“Obviously there is something, Y/N. Y-You’re never this cold to me,” he mentioned and I looked towards the ground, kicking my feet in the dirt. “Talk to me.”

“Who’s Luciana to you?” I asked bluntly, staring up at him. Nick’s let out a small sigh, pinching the bridge of his nose.

“Is this why you’re so upset with me? Because of Lucy?” He asked and I stayed silent, shrugging my shoulders. “She’s something to me…” Nick vaguely cleared up and I scoffed.

“Bullshit. She’s more than just something to you, Nick. While you were with her, I was worried sick about you. I-I didn’t sleep, hell I barely ate. D-Do you know how much you actually mean to me?” I asked, crossing my arms over my chest.

“You don’t think I was worried about you? Because you’re wrong. I was just as worried about you as you were of me. Y-You mean everything to me, you of all people should know that and I know that I mean a hell of a lot to you as well.” Nick muttered, placing his hands on his head as he walked in a circle.

“Then how come you’re suddenly with another girl?” I asked, becoming a bit angrier as he let out a huff of breath.

“I’m not with her. She got shot when I tried to help her people go to this “refugee camp,” but turned out to be a fucking military base who do human experiments.” He explained and I tilted my head to the side, furrowing my eyebrows in confusion.

“Human experiments? What do you mean?” I asked.

Nick showed me his hand, revealing a number on it. I gently grabbed it, running my hand through the ink as he spoke, “Troy and his little minions would test how long it took people to turn. They took us there and we were waiting to be slaughtered. Wanna know something?” He asked and I nodded my head. “While we were waiting, I actually told Lucy about you. Basically everything and she told me she’s never seen someone so in love with somebody before. At first, I thought that was ridiculous since we were best friends, there’s no way we could be in love with each other, but then that changed. When I saw you standing there at the base I couldn’t feel anymore relieved that you were okay. It took a lot of holding back from kissing you,” he muttered, his thumb settling against my cheek, rubbing my cheekbone softly.

“I-,” I stuttered, moving my hands to the jacket he was wearing, gripping it in my hands as I looked over his face.

“I think this is the first time I’ve ever seen you speechless,” Nick joked, chuckling a bit as I hit his chest playfully.

“When the guy you’ve been in love with for years tells you he loves you as well… you get a bit speechless,” I mentioned, grinning softly. Nick leaned his forehead against mine, his breath hitting my lips as my own breath hitched in my throat. “I love you too,” I whispered.

He grinned, leaning down to press his lips against mine. I let out a small gasp, eyes fluttering shut as I wrapped my arms around his neck, kissing him back. Oh god, his lips feel wonderful. His fingers slipped into my hair, pulling me closer to him as mine did the same.

Nick pulled away from me, a wide grin on his lips as he stared down at me. “I realized that I’ve been waiting for years to do that,” he muttered, placing a quick kiss on my lips. Nick let out a small sigh, glancing towards the ranch. “I really don’t want to stay here, but if you’re with me I don’t think it’ll be all that bad.”

I chuckled, shaking my head a bit as Madison called out to us, motioning us to go with her and an old man. Nick grabbed my hand, intertwining our fingers as we walked into the ranch, people’s eyes staring at us as the elder man gave us a tour of the place.

I glanced up at Nick, his thumb rubbing against the back of my hand his eyes looking all over the place. Any place is better with you.

Looking from Troy over to where Nick stood staring at the pair of you, you felt your heart sinking. “Nick.” You uttered softly. How long had he been stood there? Had he seen the two of you kissing, or was he angry over the closeness that the pair of you currently shared? You weren’t sure.  “What the hell are you doing with this guy?” Nick snapped pushing Troy away from you, anger in his face. “Nick!” You shouted trying to push him back. “Nick, stop!” But Nick wasn’t listening; he moved and swung a punch, hitting Troy in the jaw. “Nick!” Troy looked up, his hand held his jaw as he wiggled it from side to side. “I suggest you listen to Y/N, Nick. Otherwise you’ll regret it!” Troy’s words left his lips and they caused Nick to move to shove him once again, this time you were able to move between them and push Nick back.

“Back to the cabin Nick, now!” You snapped at him, shoving him away from Troy. Moving to walk after Nick, you glanced back at Troy for a moment, then turned and made your way after him. Nick was so frustrating, why was he acting like this? Moving after him, you folded your arms and let out a gentle sigh, you felt pretty awful right now. While you couldn’t help but smile a little about the kiss you’d shared with Troy, you couldn’t help but wonder what on earth it was that was bothering Nick so damn much. Part of you thought maybe it was jealousy, but the other part of you knew it wasn’t, it was because he’d nearly killed the family.

Arriving at the cabin, you stepped inside and slammed the door loudly behind you. “What the hell was that?” Nick yelled before you could get a word in. “It’s me who should be asking you that Nick!” You near enough screamed at him. “He nearly killed our family!” You shook your head hard. “No Nick, he nearly killed YOUR family, this family. It’s not my fault. I leave and you all just carry on, we’re not blood, none of you actually care about me, not to the degree you claim to. I’m just someone who has been with you since the start.” Your voice fell as you spoke, you felt your heart start to sink as you came to terms with the truth.

“That is bullshit and you know it Y/N, we love you, you’re a member of our family! To have you messing with that… that asshole, you’re betraying our family!” Staring at him, you wanted to badly to bring your arm up and slap him across the face, but you couldn’t do it. You weren’t sure if Nick saw your fists clench for a second, but the instant that they relaxed, you looked up at him and sighed. “That isn’t true Nick, that isn’t true at all. I’m always going to be picked last like if we were in gym class Nick, you, Alicia, your Mom all come before I do. You might call me family, but if I killed someone and was told I had to leave somewhere, I’d be cast out alone, because your safety, the three of yours, is more important.”

There was a long pause, your eyes looked down at your feet and you couldn’t help but find yourself shaking your head slowly as he denied it. “It’s not true, we’d not let that happen.” Scoffing rather loudly, you looked away and sighed. “Not true Nick, you say it’s not true, but look at Strand. Look what happened when he killed Thomas and wouldn’t kill himself, he was cast out and no one went with him. The only reason we were going too was because the place got set on fire.” Nick looked down at you, his soft puppy eyes looking down at you, reaching out his fingers traced your cheek causing you to pull away. “It’s not true, I’d come with you.”

You’d just made it onto the Abigail; you’d already been patched up and now were lying on a bed below deck. Staring up at the ceiling a soft sigh leaving your lips as you tried to focus on anything but the pain radiating through your shoulder. “Y/N?” Sitting up as you heard Nick calling for you, you stood up and slowly moved to the door and opened it. “Nick?” You asked seeing him walking past. He stopped and turned back to look at you. “Hey, I wanted to make sure you were alright.” Looking at him you couldn’t help but smile ever so softly. “Coming to play Doctor are you?” There was a low chuckle from Nick’s lips and he found himself grinning as he moved into the room. “Maybe I am.” He teased coming to take a seat beside you. Slipping your jacket off and pulling your arm out of your shirt so that he could look, you looked down.

“What you did, that was rather brave. Ofelia owes you her life.” You let out a soft chuckle and shook your head. “No, she doesn’t. I was just protecting our own.” You commented as you felt Nick’s fingers running over your body and fixing up your shoulder. “Don’t be so modest.” He whispered, you could feel his breath on his shoulder. Looking up, your eyes met his and as you stared at each other, you found yourself leaning in; his fingers fell from your shoulder and ran gently down your arm. Your lips met his, as your hand moved to cup his face. It was a soft and sweet kiss, but it was strong and full of desire. It pulled the air from your lungs. Breaking the kiss, you had to wonder if that meant he wanted you the way you wanted him.

His touch brought you back to that moment, reminded you of what it felt like when he’d kissed you. That moment you’d been convinced that maybe, just maybe there was going to be something between you, but after that first kiss, nothing ever happened. “Nick.” You found yourself whispering softly, looking up at him. You’d not expected it, but a second later his lips were upon yours. But your heart no longer fluttered, your body no longer responded to him. Pulling away after only a second, you moved back needing to create the space between the two of you. “Don’t you dare, you’re with Lucy. Don’t.” You repeated, your hand moving to slap him. It was the first time you’d ever hit anyone, but Nick deserved it after that. Stepping back away from him, you shook your head slowly your eyes looking down away from you. You needed to make the space between them, needed him to get away from you right now.

“I’m sorry, I.” You shook your head softly. “Do not even start Nick.” You snapped shaking your head. “You do this to me every time Nick, you do this to everyone!” You snapped trying to keep the distance between the two of you. “You never cared for me Nick.” You whispered, your eyes looking away from his. “The last however many years that I’ve known you Nick, you’ve used me. You don’t care; you don’t even look at me like someone you’ve ever felt anything for!” You spoke feeling a sinking feeling inside of your chest. “It all makes sense now really, the times you showed up, pretended to care about me, only to then borrow money, you never cared about me, you cared about yourself, you cared about you and you only. I was just too blind to see it, you never wanted me.”

Nick shook his head softly, moving closer to you. His hands moved to hold your arms at your sides, his eyes locked on yours. “No, that isn’t true; it’s not true at all Y/N. I have always cared about you, I promise you.” Pulling away, you shook your head. “Your promises mean nothing Nick…” You trailed off, pulling yourself from his grip once again. “Did either of the kisses we ever shared mean anything?” You questioned softly, you looked him directly in the eyes and waited for an answer. “I love you Y/N… but not in the way you want me to.” You didn’t know how to react at that moment; you felt anger, annoyance, heartbreak, and so many other things bubbling up inside of you. “Then you can’t tell me what to do, at all!”

Walking out of the cabin, you slammed the door behind you. Letting out a gasp, you tried to hold in the tears that were threatening to fall from your eyes, but it was too late; the first tear fell from your left eye as you ran away from the cabin. You couldn’t do this, you just needed to be alone.

Writing Challenge - Moodboards

It's almost time for the September writing challenge!

Although I've tried to make it as gender-neutral as possible, it's been kinda hard 😅 That being said, just because there's a man and a woman together in the picture doesn't mean you have to write a straight couple 😅 You can have two men together, two women, a non-binary couple. Relationships with more than two people (poly) is also allowed.

The idea is that you follow the theme of the square/moodboard, not that you've got to include everything in the board. A moodboard is a way to inspire you to write, so write what you took from the board(s) you choose 🥰

Remember: You can plot now, but no posting before September 1st! ❤️

There will be a winner, randomly picked, who’ll get a moodboard of their choosing, made by me 🥰 The winner will be picked the first week of October 🥰

The moodboards are posted in order of the rows on the board. And it goes left to right/top to bottom)

Row 1 Row 2 Row 3 Row 4 Row 5

(set up inspired by @thatesqcrush ’s Bingo introduction set up)

Rules under readmore

here are some rules:

It’ll start on September 1st, 2021 and end on September 30th, 2021

Write one, ten or all of the fics. But don’t feel like you have to write them, this is a fun little writing exercise

You can write a head canon, ficlet, multi-chapter (one moodboard per fic) or a one shot. But please, if it’s longer than 500 words, put it under read more.

The fics can be fluff, smut, angst, etc if you feel like they would fit with the aesthetic of the moodboard you write for. Please remember to tag the fics with the right warnings before posting it.

Injured

Pairing: Nick Clark x Reader

Author: @ftwd-nicky

Words: 3024

Author’s Note: This was a request by anon, “Hi could I please request a nick imagine where you’ve been together since before the apocalypse. The reader almost died somehow and so nick becomes really clingy and it’s all pretty much angst and fluff??” So, I have done it! It’s actually super cute and kind of heartbreaking. I hope you guys enjoy it :) oxox Thanks to my bestie @lovelydob for proofreading this for me.

I woke up to an empty cold bed, Nick nowhere in sight as I let out a small yawn, stretching my limbs. I groan slightly, wrapping my arms around Nick’s pillow, cuddling it as I  inhale his lovely scent that lingered on the soft object. My mind kept thinking about how far Nick and I have come since the world ended. Plenty of fights, plenty of making up, and plenty of kisses… Nick’s favorite thing to do according to him.

 I sat in our room on Strand’s yacht, waiting for Nick to come back from the shower so I can yell at him for disappearing into that shot up boat. I picked at my fingernails, thinking of what would happen if I lost Nick, which I don’t want to do. My head perked up as I heard arguing, trying to listen closely, Madison’s voice booming throughout the area.

 Nick opened the door, quickly closing it behind him as he let out a sigh of relief. I took my bottom lip between my teeth as I checked him out. He chuckled at my obvious gawking, walking over to me as he placed a small kiss to my forehead before getting dress… unfortunately.

 “You do know that what you did was dangerous, right?” I asked quietly as he was buttoning up his pants. Nick let out a sigh and I stood up, standing inches in front of him as he looked down at me.

 “I know it was dangerous, but what if there were people who needed help?” He asked me and my gaze turned to the floor. I felt his fingers brush mine, softly taking my hand into his, intertwining our fingers.

 “What if you got killed? I-I don’t think I can live without you, Nick.” I muttered, on the verge of tears as I looked up at him, his eyes saddening a bit.

 Nick pulled me closer to him, wrapping my arms around his waist as his hands are still intact with mine. “I’m not going anywhere, okay?” He whispered, our foreheads resting against each others as I nodded my head. “I was an addict. It’s kind of hard to get rid of me.”

 I chuckled, shaking my head a bit as he laughed as well. I looked up at him through my eyelashes, my heartbeat picking up. “I love you.” I whispered, my hands moving to his torso, trailing them up his chest.

 “I love you too, baby.” Nick smiled, pressing a kiss to my lips. I moved my arms around his neck, moving my lips against his as his arms wrapped around my waist, resting on my lower back. The two of us pulled away after a couple minutes, smiles on both of our lips. “God, I absolutely love kissing you. I could do it every second of every day.”

 I smiled at the memory as a knock on our door snapped me out of my daze. I grabbed one of Nick’s shirts off the floor, slipping it over my head before quickly putting on a pair of jeans. I opened the door to find Madison on the other side and I greeted her with a small smile.

 “Hey, Madison. Everything okay?” I asked her, sitting down on the bed as I slid socks onto my feet before putting my boots on.

 “Yeah, I just wanted to tell you that Walker and his people are going to be moving onto the compound today.” She told me and I slumped, gulping slightly as my lips parted.

 “O-Oh. Okay.” I muttered, biting the inside of my cheek as I thought about how Nick was going to feel about this.

 After I had brushed my teeth and everything I walked out of the house, noticing everyone making their way towards the main gate. My feet followed the crowd, feeling my heartbeat pick up as I saw an abundance of vehicle’s making their way towards the ranch. Here we go. I thought at the same time the words left Alicia’s mouth.

 She looked towards me, giving me a small smile as I returned it, hearing the engines of the side-by-side’s the militia uses when going out. My eyes met Nick’s as him and Troy stayed in the off road vehicle and I gave him a warm smile.

 “I love you.” He mouthed to me and the smile on my face widened, my cheeks becoming flushed as I bit the inside of my lip. Alicia snapped me out of my thoughts by pulling me out of the road before I got hit by a truck.

 “You should really stop getting lost in your thoughts. It’s going to get you hurt one day.” Alicia mentioned and I nodded in agreement, looking around for her brother. I saw Walker, Ofelia, Madison, Jake, Troy, Nick, and a few other people I didn’t know going towards the pantry and the two of us follow behind them.

 Jake, Troy, and Walker were arguing about something when we got down there, Alicia going to stand by her mother as I stood a bit behind Nick. I placed my hand on his arm, resting my cheek against his shoulder blade. He looked down at me, giving me a small smile as he took his hand out of his pocket, intertwining our fingers.

 Troy stormed out of the pantry, the two of us watching as he left before returning our attention to the group of people in front of us.

 “How many people have the same feelings as Troy?” Walker asked.

 Madison glanced around, letting out a small sigh, “some.” She mutters, glancing back at us and Nick let’s go of my hand, leaving the pantry, most likely following Troy. I pressed my lips together, watching him leave then returning my gaze on the group again.

 “I’m going to go see if he’s alright.” I told Madison before excusing myself. After I left the pantry I strolled around the ranch, looking for Nick, but having no luck in finding him.

 --

 I was sitting at one of the tables outside the mess tent, picking at the scrambled eggs on my plate as Nick sat down in front of me. I didn’t look up at him as I continued to push around the eggs. My head snapped up when I felt a hand on mine, a thumb rubbing the back of my hand gently.

 “You okay?” Nick asked me and I nodded my head, giving him a small smile. The two of us heard Crazy Dog ask Troy how the coffee was and I rolled my eyes at the childish play the two sides are doing. Troy walked over to our table, giving both of us a small smile as Terrance was walking towards a group of Walker’s men, his hand buried in his zip-up hoodie pocket.

 My eyes were trained on the young teenager as he pulled out a gun and I quickly got up, running towards him quickly as he pointed it. “Terrance, no!” I heard Nick yell and I let out a small gasp as the gun went off.

 Crazy Dog tackled Terrance, bringing him into a chokehold as my hand shakingly touched my stomach, a goopy red liquid dripping down my fingers. “N-Nick…” I mumbled, falling to my knees as I became light headed.

 “ENOUGH!” I heard Walker’s voice boom out as he stormed over to us. One of my hands rested on the dirt as I held pressure to my wound, breathing a little heavier than before. Crazy Dog let go of Terrance, walking back to his table.

 “Y/N!” Nick yelled, running over to me. He skidded to the ground, one of his hands resting on my cheek as I looked up at him. “Hey, it’s okay. You’re alright.” He mumbled and I showed him my other hand as it was covered in blood, tears pooling in my eyes.

 “N-Nick-” I started, but was interrupted by coughing slightly.

 Nick glanced over towards Troy as he motioned for him to help me up. Troy and Nick wrapped an arm around my waist as they brought me towards the infirmary. Another rancher had helped with Terrance as Walker followed.

 Troy helped Nick place me onto one of the beds as Jake began rummaging through the shelves, grabbing everything he needs to get the bullet out of my wound. Sweat was dripping down my face as Nick gripped my hand.

 “It’s going to be okay. Jake’s gonna get ya fixed up.” He muttered, pressing his lips to the side of my head. I turned my head towards his, tears streaming down my face as he placed a small kiss to my lips.

 “I-I love you.” I stuttered, wincing slightly as Jake placed an iv into my arm. “I-I’d be dead on the side of the road if it wasn’t for you.” Nick laced our fingers together, pushing some hair out of my face as my eyes became heavy.

 Nick began tearing up, shaking his head as he squeezed my hand a bit. “I know where you’re going with this, babe.” He sighed and I gave him a small smile. “You’ll be fine.” Nick reassured himself more than me as he stood up, pressing a soft kiss to my forehead before I was surrounded by darkness.

 --

 I could hear Nick talk to his mom as his thumb rubbed the back of my hand. “So, Jake said that she’ll be fine, right?” He asked Madison.

 “Yeah, the procedure went well, surprisingly. She’s going to be just fine, son.” Madison placed a hand on his shoulder before walking out of the infirmary.

 I kept my eyes closed for a couple minutes just listening to the silene, waiting to see if Nick’s going to say anything else. His fingers continued to play with mine as I tried to stop the smile that’s forming on my lips.

 “Sometimes I wish you wouldn’t be so brave and caring of basically strangers. You yell at me for putting myself into danger, but what I did didn’t almost get me killed.” He sighed and I frowned a bit, knowing he was right.

 I slowly opened my eyes, fluttering them as I adjust my eyes to the sunlight peeking through the tent. I turned my head towards Nick as his eyes were trained on our intertwined fingers.

 “I’m sorry, Nick.” I whispered and he jumped slightly. “I know what I did was stupid, but I just wanted to secure our stay here.” I told him and he nodded his head.

 “I know you did. That’s the kind of person you are. And it’s one of the reasons I fell in love with you.” Nick whispered and my heart fluttered in my chest. I brought my hand to his cheek, smiling softly at him as he rested his arms on the side of my bed. “I’m just glad you’re okay.” He whispered before pressing his lips to mine.

 --

 I was helping the militia bring supplies into the pantry, trying to contribute some since Nick hasn’t really let me do anything since I was released from the infirmary. I’ve been in a little pain, but it subdues after a while.

 I placed the bag of potatoes down on the floor in the pantry, wincing slightly as I held my hand over my stomach. Troy stood in front of me, looking down at me with a worried expression on his face. “You okay, Y/N?” He asked and I nodded my head, leaning against a shelf.

 “Y-Yeah, just a cramp.” I muttered, glancing up at Troy. He didn’t look convinced of the lie I gave him and lifted my shirt up a bit, noticing that my bandage is covered in blood.

 “Jesus, Y/N. Nick’s not going to be happy about this.” He muttered and I pushed his hand away, pulling my shirt back down.

 “Happy about what?” Nick asked and I jumped, seeing him standing behind Troy. I gave Troy a look that said, “don’t tell him, please,” as Nick stood next to me. “Y/N… What am I not going to be happy about?” He asked me sternly and I shrugged my shoulders.

 I walked away from the two boys, deciding to go look for Jake and see if he could replace my bandage. I frowned, hating myself that I’m lying to Nick, but I just need to breath. He’s been attached to my hip since I gotten hurt and yes, I adore him for that, but it’s becoming a little too much.

 I found Jake in the infirmary, doing an inventory check as I walked into the tent. “Hey, Jake. Could you change my bandage?” I asked him and he glanced towards me, giving me a small nod. He grabbed the supplies needed as I lifted the front of my shirt, holding it up as he took the old bandage off.

 “Holy shit, Y/N, what did you do?” Jake asked and I glanced down at the wound, seeing that I tore a couple stitches.

 I was about to answer him when a very familiar voice cut me off. “Why didn’t you tell me?” Nick asked and I looked back at him, seeing the hurt and betrayal in his eyes. My lips parted, feeling my heart begin to crumble as he walked over to us.

 “I-I, um, I didn’t want you to worry more than you already were.” I muttered, slightly withholding the entire truth from him. “And honestly, Nick, you’re kind of smothering me. I just want to be able to help out. You know I hate sitting around doing nothing.” I sighed, wincing slightly as Jake began to stitch my wound back up.

 “How can I not worry? You almost DIED. Do you get that?” He yelled angrily and my gaze found its way to the floor, nodding my head. Nick sighed, running his hands through his hair before rubbing his face. “I guess I’m sorry for caring about your health. You don’t have to worry about me smothering you anymore.” He muttered, walking out of the infirmary.

 My heart shattered as he walked out, tears streaming down my face, turning my gaze towards Jake who just finished stitching and cleaning my wound. I quietly thanked him, my hands gripping the bed that was behind me, taking deep breaths.

 “...Are you going to be okay?” He asked me and I shook my head, feeling my hands shaking as I kept my eyes on the bed. “Do you want me to get Alicia?” He asked another question to which I declined once more.

 I left the infirmary abruptly, hugging my arms tightly as I made my way towards the only tree on the ranch. I carefully sat on the ground, wrapping my arms around my knees before resting my forehead against my kneecaps. Did I just lose the love of my life because he began to get clingy? I’m such an idiot.

 The sobs leaving my lips became uncontrollable as I tried to keep silent, not wanting to grab anyone’s attention. I sat under the tree for about an hour, getting colder by the second as I rubbed the sides of my arms. After contemplating to myself about going to see Nick I decide that it’s probably a good idea.

 My feet carried me to the bunkhouse, hoping that he was the only one there and I noticed a light on, signaling he was home. I shivered as the wind picked up slightly, seeing the sun set behind the hill. I walked up the steps, knocking on the door as I waited for him to answer the door.

 I saw his face through the window as he opened the door, leaning against the doorframe. “What are you doing here?” He asked and I can feel the pain in my chest worsen.

 “Well one, I live here and two, I-I wanted to talk to you. Mainly apologize for being such a bitch earlier.” I muttered, feeling my fingers going numb as I bit the inside of my lip. Nick noticed how cold I must’ve been since he let me inside.

 “I can certainly agree that you were being a bitch. Glad you realize your mistake.” He muttered, sitting down on the bed and I nodded, sitting down on the bed in front of him.

 “I just… I guess I was becoming a bit agitated about just sitting around and doing nothing. I never meant to take it out on you, Nick. I’ll be honest with you, these past couple hours have been absolute hell.” I whispered, playing with the ends of my fingers as I sighed.

 “Y/N, I love you. I really do, and you know that I’m not the type of guy to be clingy.” I nodded at what he was saying, glancing up at him for a second. “But if I have to be clingy to get you to rest and heal, I will. I don’t want to lose you. I would be so lost without you and you’re the only person that keeps me sane. I need you, baby.” Nick muttered and I stood up, grabbing his hands, making him stand up.

 “As you told me on the boat, I’m not going anywhere. I’m sorry. Please forgive me. I can’t bear the thought that we might be over.” I mentioned, staring up at him as he nodded his head, grinning down at me.

 “That was a mistake on my part. I didn’t want the message to come across that way, but it did. Don’t worry, you still have me.” He smiled, placing both his hands on my cheeks as he tilted his head to the side, kissing my lips softly.

 I smiled into the kiss, running my fingers through his hair as I moved my lips against his, glad to be back in his arms again. We pulled away from each other and I rest my head against his chest, wrapping my arms around his waist, inhaling his natural scent. Nick pressed his lips to the side of my head, rubbing my back softly as we stood in the middle of the room in silence, enjoying each other’s company.

Author’s Note: I wanted to write about Nick in dat facility when I was re-watching season 1 and this is the end result! I hope everyone enjoys it :)

I sat in one of the many cages in the dim lit area, other pleading the guards to let them free as my foot tapping on the floor in worry. I placed both hands on each side of my head, gripping my hair gently before rubbing my face. I don’t even fucking remember how long I’ve been here for…

 “You alright there, darlin’?” A deep voice asked me and I glanced up seeing a dark-skinned man wearing a very expensive suit in front of me. I let out a small sigh, shaking my head as he sat down next to me.

 I rolled my eyes at the sound of the adult weeping next to us, glancing towards him as he looked at a picture of what I assume is his family. The posh man sitting next to me stood up, standing next to the man holding the picture, staring down at him.

 “I look at a person like you and I know. You are a buyer. How do I know? Because I am a closer,” he spoke pacing in the space in front of us as my eyes stay on him. “I can sell anything, everything. Ask anyone. Except, uh, insurance.” He laughed, shaking his head a bit.

 He began talking about family, making the guy sitting on the bench cry harder as I tilted my head to the side, wondering what this wealthy man is trying to do.

 “Douglas, what’s wrong?” He asked, sitting down next to him as the crying got worse. I leaned my head against the fence, closing my eyes as I try to drown the sound out before I go completely insane. “Buck up. I think I found you a bright side.” The guy in the suit took the picture from Doug’s hands, glancing down at it. “I presume this is the wife.”

 “Maria,” Doug told him, looking at it longingly.

 I tuned out the conversation, thinking back to when I was first taken to this damn forsaken place.

 I was sitting with my stepfamily in the Military run “safe zone,” watching some of the men patrol around the cul-de-sac as a doctor went from house to house, checking on people who needed medication and whatnot. I could hear my stepfather whisper to his boys and I glance behind me, seeing the three of them huddled up as I sighed.

 Doctor Exner, she calls herself, came to our house next, greeting me with a small smile before talking with the step, both of them stepping into the house. They talked about what felt like ages but was only a few minutes before she took her leave.

 “She doesn’t need to do a checkup?” I asked my stepfather and he shook his head, not even looking at me as I sighed, heading into the house, going to my room. I looked at the picture of my mother and I on my mirror, sighing sadly. “I wish you were still here…”

 That night some military soldiers came into the house, claiming they had one of our names on their list to bring to the facility. “Y/N L/N.” One of them spoke as my heart stopped.

 My eyes looked towards my stepfather and brothers as they had this stupid grin on their faces, the soldiers grabbing my arms, escorting me out of the house. “W-Wait no. There’s got to be a mistake. I’m not sick!” I yelled, fighting their grip.

 I was snapped out of my memories when I felt the fence move, seeing Doug’s body laid against it, the crying got worse as two soldiers came in and took him away.

 The man leans against the fence next to someone else, not really able to see their face as they sat on the floor, tucked into themselves. “So, then, who the hell are you?” He asked, looking down at the person.

 I let out a small gasp as the person looked up, gripping the edge of the bench. “Nick…” I whispered, moving closer to him. “Nick? Is that really you?”

 He looked over towards me, his eyes widening and I stood up, walking over towards him. “Y/N? What are you doing here?” I kneeled down next t  him, placing my hands on his face, analyzing every inch of it.

 “Remember my absolute favorite stepfamily?” I asked him sarcastically and he nodded his head in response. “Well, my stepfather told Exner that I was sick.” I frowned as did Nick, knowing how much of a dick my he was.

 “I guess I had a similar scenario,” Nick paused, taking one of my hands in his, “Travis’ ex-wife had told her that I had been a drug addict and needed methadone.”

 I scoffed, shaking my head. “Still doing that, huh?” I asked to which he shamefully nodded. “Nicky-,”

 “I know, I know. I tried to quit I really did, but it’s difficult.” He whispered, feeling the wealthy man’s eyes on us.

 “I’m just glad you’re okay,” I muttered, wrapping my arms around his neck, giving him a tight hug. His hands rest on my back, returning the hug as I sighed contently.

 “As much as I don’t want to interrupt this cute reunion, we’ve got bigger problems on our hands.” The man mentioned and I pulled away from Nick, looking at him.

 “What did you say your name was again?” I asked, looking up at him.

 He smiled, straightening his suit as I narrowed my eyes at him. “Strand. Nice to meet you, Y/N.”

 “You too,” I muttered turning away from him as guards patrolled around the cages, taking everyone’s temperature.

 They placed the advanced thermometer near strands head, reading out the result, “98.6.” They moved onto me as I stared up at them, my heart pounding. “99.8.” Again, they moved onto Nick, heading the thing beep, waiting for them to read the result, “101.1. Take him.”

 “Wait, no. H-He’s not sick!” I yelled as two guards came in, grabbing his arms. I stood up quickly, trying to pry their hands off Nick. “Listen to me, he’s not sick, please,” I begged.

 One of them pushes me off of them and I fall to the ground, reaching my hands out to try and catch myself, but fail. I wince, hurting my wrist as Strand stepped up to the cage, whispering something to the main guard, Melvin.

 “Hey! Let me go, man.” Nick fought, squirming as he looked back at me. I stared at him, slowly getting off the ground as Melvin halted the two men who were holding Nick.

 “Put him back in the pen,” Melvin ordered and I sighed in relief as they brought him back in, my hands gripping his forearms tightly. Nick held me with the same amount of strength, my head buried in his neck. I could feel his lips pressed against the side of my head, his hand rubbing my back as the guards walked off.

 “I’m okay,” Nick whispered, rubbing his hands on my arms as I pulled away. “Why’d you save me?” He asked Strand, furrowing his eyebrows at him.

 “I didn’t save you. I obligated you.” Strand muttered, sitting back down on the bench. Nick and I moved back towards the spot he sat in when I first saw him, our shoulders brushing softly. “There’s a difference.”

 We looked at each other, confused with Strand’s words. Nick was about to say something when Strand cut him off.

 “I look at you, Nick, and I see someone who knows the means of necessity.”

 “Well, I’m an addict,” Nick stated as I played with his fingers, listening to the boys’ conversation.

 “No, you’re a heroin addict, that’s the golden standard. Don’t sell yourself short.” Strand corrected and I closed my eyes, biting my lip softly. I wish I could’ve been there to help him… “Anyway, I’m going to require a man with your talent when I make my move.”

 “What move?” Nick and I asked simultaneously. Strand stayed quiet, just staring at us as he pulled out a key from inside his sleeve.

 The three of us sat in the pen for what seemed like ages in silence. Nick got up at one point, pacing around the cage, running a hand along the fence. My foot anxiously began tapping against the floor again, chewing on my fingernails as my eyes darted around.

 “I am losing my mind,” Nick stated, stopping for a second before continuing to pace. “I thought the house was bad,” he muttered, running a hand through his ratty hair.

 “Nick, can you please stop? You’re making me kind of dizzy.” I chuckled, biting my lip softly. He looked down at me, smiling gently as he stopped, sitting down on the bench that’s next to me. Nick’s finger glided through my hair, leaning into his touch as my eyes fluttered shut.

 “Just picture you’re somewhere nice, with a needle in your arm.” Strand told him and I sighed, getting off the ground, sitting next to Nick.

 “Is it bad? When was the last time you used?” I asked him quietly, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear.

 Nick looked over at me, his hand on my leg as he sighed. “Y-Yeah. I mean, it’s been tolerable I guess. The last time I used was a couple days ago… morphine.” He muttered, frowning. “I’m so sorry.”

 “It’s okay, Nick. I-I just wanted what’s best for you a-and when you barely tried… I-I couldn’t handle it, so I left. I’m sorry.” I teared up, leaning my forehead against the side of his face.

 “I-It’s okay, Y/N/N.” He whispered, hugging me tightly.

 Our moment was interrupted by gunfire, both of us jumping as I gripped onto his arm. The alarm begins to go off, the three of us standing up.

 “It’s time to go,” Strand mentioned, searching his pockets for something.

 Where are we going?” I asked, feeling my heart pounding against my ribcage.

 “What’s wrong?” Nick asked, watching him continue to search his pockets before Nick held up a key. I kept my laugh in as Strand smiled, taking the key from him.

 “You, I like you.” Strand muttered, unlocking the gate, the two of us following behind him. “Y/N… I didn’t plan for you to come, but-,”

 “She’s coming. No questions asked.” Nick cut him off, pulling me close to him as I wrapped an arm around his waist. “I can’t lose her again, Strand.” He glared a bit, placing a hand on his chest, trying to calm him down slightly.

 “You didn’t let me finish. I was going to say, but I’m bringing you anyway because one, I can see that Nick cares about you and two, you’re growing on me.” Strand grinned and I laughed, pressing my lips together.

 “Thanks, Strand.” I smiled as the three of us walked down a hallway. I kept my hand on Nick’s jacket, gripping slightly as we headed towards the stairwell. Strand pushed us out of the way as we heard guards rushing down the stairs.

 My breathing became heavier as Strand motioned us to move forward, going through a pair of double doors, them closing loudly behind us. We crept down an eerie hallway, entering another area where a soldier was lying dead on the floor and another slowly dying. Nick and I stayed back as Strand went forward, whispering to him as a bunch of infected came through the doors opposite to us.

 “Guys, we gotta go,” I called out, the three of us running back down the hallway we came from. We came up to the double doors, pushing it open but it doesn’t budge. “Oh no, no, no, no,” I muttered, looking back as Nick got in front of me, ramming his shoulder into the door, the infected getting closer and closer. “We’re gonna die.”

 “Hey, we’re getting out of this. I’m getting you out of this.” Nick whispered, putting both his hands on my cheeks. “I’ll do literally anything to keep you safe.”

 Tears streamed down my cheeks, coming in contact with his fingers as I nodded. His eyes searched mine for a few seconds before leaning down, connecting our lips together. I balled up his jacket in my hands, moving my lips against his before pulling away.

 Nick looked out the window, his eyes widening as he placed his hands on the window. “Mom? Mom!” He yelled, pounding on the door. I looked out the other window, watching in silence as one of the nurses slid her card through the card reader many times. It finally unlocked, the three of us bursting through the door, Nick and I closing it behind us.

 “Y/N?” Madison asked and I waved, smiling lightly. Nick grabbed my hand, muttering how it wasn’t a great time for a reunion.

 Well, it’s time to run for our lives, literally.
