Chapter 8

Warnings: None. (Will however be a 18+ reader book)

Copyright: I do not own any Marvel characters or locations. However, I do own a few OCs like Elizabeth, Katherine, Stacy, and Jessie. I do not condone any copying of this.

"Beach wedding?" T'Challa questioned. "That sounds pleasant, although for you to become part of the Wakandan royalty through marriage, we'll have to do a separate special ceremony. It won't disrupt or affect the marriage bond though, so there's nothing to worry about with that."

The idea of being a Queen was still rather frightening to you.

"Beach wedding, beach wedding." Fury was singing underneath his breath with a slight wiggle of his hips. Well, he was extremely excited about the idea. Apparently he loved the beach so much, the ship that he was visiting with had a simulation so he could pretend he was at the beach.

Your sister bounded into the room, "You're on the news again Y/N!"

You shrunk into the couch you were sitting on. It had been six months since the incident. You had gotten comfortable with every person that you were soulmated to, along with their friends. Your own friends were absolutely enthralled with the idea. All three of them were invited to the wedding as well.

Once the news had gotten ahold that one, the Avengers were finally getting married, and two, it was to the girl in the record book who had eleven bonds, well the news had been covering it for almost three weeks now.

You had quit your job at this point. There was no reason to keep it. Tony kept everything you could possibly needed in the room and if you really, really needed something, he had a special card that you were supposed to use.

You very rarely spent the card. Even if Tony was a billionaire, you weren't entirely okay with spending his money if you really didn't need something.

Tony's voice brought you back to the conversation, "I was thinking that we could move into a large mansion instead of trying to continue to live in the Tower. Especially once we have kids. It would be easier to live in a house instead."

"I agree." Steve said with a nod.

"If it's far from civilization." Fury pointed out.

"Can we move back to the topic of those kids?" You asked.

Everyone looked at you.

"It's just. . . with the kids, are you guys going to care if like. . . you don't have one that isn't biologically yours? Or do you all want one that is yours or. . ." You asked.

"I don't care whose they are." Steve said with a shrug. "I'll raise all of them as my own."

Everyone agreed with that sentiment except for T'Challa. "I agree with that," He started, "However, the King of Wakanda still has to produce an heir. I hope you understand."

You nod. "Yes, of course."

T'Challa seemed relieved that you agreed so readily.

Preparations then moved forward for the wedding. Wanda invited her brother Pietro, since he would be consider family with the rest of us. Thor was inviting someone named 'Rocket' and his 'clan' who were called the Guardians of the Galaxy.

You met Agent Coulson, who was a very nice man. He, Fury, and Hill all did really seemed to get along well.

Loki and Thor were inviting a few people from New Asgard. (pretending they never died) Sif, Volstagg, Fandral, Hogun, Heimdall, and Valkyrie. Also someone people named Korg and Miek.

Clint was inviting his sister Laura and her soulmate and their kids. Sam invited his sister.

You were sure that there would be more than family there, but the biggest question for you was whether or not you invited your father to the ceremony.

You didn't think he'd cause any trouble, but at the same time, it had been a few years since you had last seen him.

"Let's go for a walk." Clint said enthusiastically.

You quickly leaped from the couch to take his hand, leaving the others behind, Sam and T'Challa being the only ones that went with you two.

It was a sunny day out and the three of you strolled across the well tended lawn of Avenger Tower.

"How overboard do you think Tony will go with the house?" You questioned.

Clint snickered, "You should see the house he got for him and Stephen. And that one is just for the two of them."

"I just don't like the idea of him spending to much money, you know?" You said.

"That's how Tony shows he cares. He does it in gifts." Clint explained. "He built Pepper an Iron Woman suit when her and Happy got married. He gave Nat and Bruce a house, smaller by Stephen's standards, but it's nice sized when they got married. Wanda and Vision got a flat in Paris."

You nodded, a little overwhelmed.

Sam lifted you up on his shoulders. "Anyways, I was thinking about kids."

"Me too." You said. "I'm hoping that everyone looks at them as their own."

"I'm sure we will." Clint said, sounding nonchalant about it. "After all, we're all your soulmate. After the bonding ceremony, we'll all be connected. We should expect that to be in our children too. Besides, it's not like you're going to have eleven children, even if we all wanted our own kid."

You laughed, "Yeah, eleven kids is ridiculous."

"Although, it does sound fun." T'Challa admitted. "A huge house, lots of kids running around cheerfully."

"I think at least. . . what, four or five?" Clint asked. "Maybe six. I guess it would depend on how many attempts it takes for you to get your heir."

"I do feel bad about that." T'Challa said quietly. "Unfortunately, Wakandan customs can't be avoided."

"It's alright." You said, resting your chin on the top of Sam's head. "I don't really mind. I'm actually kind've excited to start our family life together. Although the marriage bonding ceremony will probably be exhausting."

Clint chuckled, "Probably."

The marriage bonding was, well, sex. Except you had to bond with all of your soulmates in one night. Which meant eleven orgasms in one night. One from each of them, eleven from you. And you were a Virgin (as most were) so it would certainly be a no walking day the day after.

"Have you decided on whether or not you want to ask your dad to the wedding?" Sam asked up to me.

You shook your head, your chin scratching on the top of his head. "No. I mean, my sister is going to be there and that's really all the family I need. But at the same time, I don't know. Maybe he should be there. I just don't know how Y/S/N would feel about him being there either."

Once you guys had made it down to the pond, you climbed off Sam's shoulders to take off your shoes and socks to dip your feet in. Clint had already done so and Sam was getting ready.

"Scared of water kitty kat?" Sam teased as T'Challa simply stood behind you, your back against his legs.

T'Challa chuckled dangerously. "Cats eat birds little Falcon."

You giggled at their friendly bantering.

"What colour suits are you guys thinking about?" Clint asked sincerely.

"Matching our soulmate bonds." T'Challa said.

You giggled again, "Does that mean Sammy is wearing pink?"

"Oi, brown is a part of that. Pink and brown." Sam pointed out.

"Hey, you're the one that pink is your favorite colour." Clint pointed out as Sam got defensive.

"I can see it." You said, reaching over to touch Sam's shoulder. "One of those crisp pink dress shirts with a brown suit jacket and brown dress pants. Maybe even coffee brown dress shoes. You'll look rather dashing."

"Ooh, you hear that boys. I'm gonna be dashing." Sam grinned.

Clint grinned before wrapping an arm around your waist, pulling you into his side. "This is going to be fun."

***

"Y/N, this is Pietro, Pietro, this is Y/N." Tony did the very quick introduction to Wanda's brother.

He looked nothing like Wanda. His eyes were blue, his hair dark before it turned blond. It was wavy and short. He had faint stubble and a facial do like Stephen's, which showed that brown was his natural hair colour. He was a bit taller than Wanda, on the lean and muscular side.

He held his hand out, "Nice to meet you."

His voice was quiet, heavily accented with the Sokovian lilt like Wanda's.

"Likewise." You said.

"Do you have a superpower?" He questioned as the two of you dropped hands.

"She's hits peoples with umbrellas." Tony answered for you, receiving an elbow to the kidneys.

"No." You said, rolling your eyes. "Ignore him."

Pietro grinned. I spent most of the day with him, Wanda, and Clint talking. He told us about how he had met someone named Makkari and they'd had several races, though they weren't sure who was faster.

"Don't suppose you know someone with an Aqua and gold soulmate mark, would you? Or a blue and silver one? Or, this one is strange but it's yellow, red, green, blue, and black." Pietro asked.

You shook your head, "Sorry."

He shrugged, "Oh well, they're out there."

"Maybe you just need to run into the King of Wakanda and go apologize to him." Clint smirked.

You rolled your eyes. "How was I to know he was the King of Wakanda? What was the King of Wakanda even doing in a low part of New York? Not my fault I didn't do a proper apology right then and there."

"Well I'm glad you didn't." T'Challa's voice sounded behind me. He had me sit up so that he could behind me, pulling me flush against his chest. "Cause now we're here."

"Very true." You said, tilting your head back and he pecked your lips sweetly.

"Ew." Clint said like a child before winking at you. You flipped him off.

"I'm sure it's equally ew when she kisses you." T'Challa said, resting his chin on your head.

Clint smirked, "I'm excellent kisser, thank you very much."

Wanda rolled her eyes, "They are constantly comparing themselves."

Pietro shrugged, "Typical male species."

You giggled.

Later that night, dinner was a rather chaotic affair. Tony had doordashed a bunch of food from Panda Express, Larosas, Auntie Annes, Greaters, Papa Johns, and Applebees. This resulted in a large buffet of food while everyone settled in the living room with the first season of Bones on.

Loki and Coulson sat as far apart as the room allowed. Valkyrie sat with him. Fury and Maria sat with Coulson. Tony, Stephen, Rhodey, and a man named Wong were sitting around the coffee table. Steve, Bucky, Sam, Clint, Bruce, and Natasha were sitting on or against the couch. T'Challa, Shur, Okoye, and a few of the other Wakandans he had invited were sitting at the dining room table instead in the adjoining room. Thor was standing around with Volstagg, Hogun, Sif, and Fandral.

Peter was there was well, with his Aunt May, Pepper, and Happy, though only Ned could make it as MJ had some sort of job thing.

Y/S/N was there with Y/S/BF/N, though they were more out of place than the others. Vision, Wanda, and Pietro were talking to them.

And then there were Guardians. There was Peter Quil, also known as Starlord, with his soulmate Gamora and their daughter Nikki. Nebula, who scared you just a little. Drax and Mantis, who were soulmates. Rocket turned out to be a raccoon (maybe?) along with a tree named Groot. There was also a man named Kraglin who had an arrow tucked into his belt.

It was funny. Kraglin seemed almost terrified of Nebula, yet they were soulmates.

Also, it turned out that Gamora and Nebula were both the adopted daughters of Thanos so that just made them a little scarier.

Thor very happily greeted the raccoon and the tree. You could sense some sort of male prideship fight between him and Peter.

Peter Parker greeted Peter Quil. You assumed they were friends.

All in all, it was a very crowded room. And they would all be here for another two months until the wedding preparations were put into plans.

Of course, there were still some people missing according to Fury. Someone named Captain Marvel. You knew she was the one that had snapped the glove to kill Thanos.

Scott and Hope were over in California, visiting Scott's daughter Cassie.

You took your own plate, looking for a place to sit. Stephen motioned to you and you moved to sit between the space that Tony made for you between the two of them. Tony's hand immediately found it's way to your thigh while Stephen held your hand under the table.

You were so busy observing the new comers in the room, you didn't even realize that Tony had asked you a question.

"Sweetheart?" He said and you snapped your head towards him.

"Sorry, what was the question?" You asked quickly.

"Some of your favorite things to do."

"I love camping." You said immediately. "I had a friend when I was young who was in boy scouts and I went on all the camping trips with them and his family. My favorite spot was either at Mammoth Caves, Wright Patterson Airforce base, or Hueston Woods."

Tony seemed surprised, "Camping? Really?"

"Oh yeah. Now that I think about it, Mammoth caves was really my favorite. We stayed on the campground and then we got to explore the caves in tours. It was a lot of fun." You smiled as you thought about all of the memories you had.

"Caves huh?" Tony said, seeming a little pale.

"Yeah." You nodded, "There's a specific tour that we always did whenever we did. I don't remember the name off the top of my head but it took you through something called Fat Man's Misery, which was this tight spot in the cave. But it's not a good tour if you're afraid of the dark or tight spaces."

"Duly noted." Tony said.

The night passed in soft touches between the two of them, funny conversations provided by the Guardians about space, and quick bantering between Loki, Thor, T'Challa, and Sam.

Everything was really starting to feel like home.

TOLKIEN OC WEEK 2024-DAY 3

Prompt: Alternate Universes

Title: An arranged marriage

(Pairing=> Faramir x OC)

!MAJOR SPOILERS FOR MY MAIN WIP THE LADY OF ITHILIEN!

(link in general masterlist)

Synopsis/Context:

Year 16 of the Fourth Age of the Sun.

The Steward of Gondor takes a new wife. Éowyn of Rohan—his first wife and mother of his daughter Elenna—lies entombed in her native land, as she died giving birth to their son Elboron five years prior. Despite her heroic actions during the War, the Lady of the Shield-Arm had always been looked down upon by her Gondorians contemporaries and her daughter, who happens to be betrothed to Crown Prince Eldarion, has been subjected to mockery, derision and even physical abuse (often due to jealousy) because of her mother's perceived inferior status. Gondorians deeply despise the people of the Riddermark and Elenna is worried her brother—Éowyn's spitting image—might one day be treated even worse than she is. In her mind, Elboron needs a new mother. A Gondorian mother. She and King Elessar arrange Faramir's marriage to Finduilas, the youngest daughter of Angbor the Fearless, lord of Lamedon. Faramir and his new bride have barely spoken to one another and Angbor only accepts Aragorn's arrangement because he opines his daughter needs to marry (she had previously rejected all of her suitors and, at nearly thirty, is still unmarried which is cause of great shame in Gondorian society). Angbor sees this as a golden opportunity, a blessing from the Valar and the two of them are betrothed at once.

They don't know one another and they don't love one another. Faramir is still in love with his late wife and only accepts to marry Finduilas for his children's sake.

Here is an edit which sums up the circumstances of their union.

This is how I imagine them to be on their wedding day. A pretty miserable affair. She's attracted to him but she's afraid she won't make him happy and he's deeply unhappy because he is essentially getting married against his will.

They will eventually fall in love (though I suppose Faramir will always be in love with Éowyn) and will have two children, Faelivrin (named after her mother and grandmother) and Eradan. [Both of them are OCs].

I like to think of Finduilas as a slightly more refined version of Éowyn. Sophisticated, educated but also fierce and headstrong.

Here is a solo Finduilas edit/moodboard.

The silver dress you can kind of see in the moodboard is how I imagine her wedding gown to be like.

Fancast is Laura Berlin from the tv show Vikings: Valhalla.

The Lamedon banner and the one of Minas Tirith, which I used them in the first edit. You can see them in their entirety down below.

I really like the colors and I think they complement each other pretty well.

Since I plan to be writing about them very shortly in my main wip The Lady of Ithilien, I thought I would share a few edits and keep what I have written for the actual fanfic. 😊

I think it's reasonable. Thank you for checking out this post and please let me know what you think!

Fic ask:

11: What do you like best about this fic?

Since there's no specific fic mentioned, I will give a bit about my favorite parts of my favorite fics that I've written.

Off the top of my head, The King's Companion has some of my favorite Sterek moments, like Stiles shutting up Derek's stupid snap judgments with magic. I don't want to give it away for those who haven't read it, but that specific part always stood out to me. And how they stood up for, and protected each other.

And then my original Stilinski-Hale child character, Max, from Getting Back Up, and the whole series. That kid was one of the best parts of that entire series, along with domestic Sterek. Definitely my favorite OC of mine.

I've always been partial to the storyline of Radar Love. The way Sterek met, in what I would call a Meet-Sexy, also Alive Laura, and their dynamic. I hadn't seen many fics quite like that, so I wrote it, and it's still one of my best in terms of stats.

Then, my favorite bits of In the Line of Fire was flipping the script and putting Derek in the FBI and seeing him happy and healthy as a successful Alpha. Gives me all the feels.

Thanks for asking! This was a lovely trip down memory lane 🥰

OC Origins Tag

Thanks for the tag @paeliae-occasionally! This is a new one for me.

I’ve got a crap ton of characters so I’m only going over a few.

To be honest these are going to be a bit of a bummer, sorry. (CW: Grief and Death)

Narul

Narul comes from a number of places. His name actually comes from a little fantasy story I wrote during middle school. It was about a world of underground people below the Sahara desert, that country was called Narul. The name Narul is literally the only thing leftover from that. Narul's character is based on something that happened to me when I was still in highschool. I wasn't very popular and I was kind of a quiet person, people didn't really mess with me but aside from a few people they didn't talk to me all that much either (the black trench coat and combat boots that I insisted on wearing probably didn't help.) One place where I was active was in drama and there was a person that I had been talking to for a while and I thought we were pretty close friends. One day they came up to me and said "When I first met you, you were kind of scary, but you're actually pretty cool." Now I know that was supposed to be a compliment, but something about the fact that they had thought I was scary really bothered me. It sort of messed with my self-esteem for a while. Narul is "scary" but he is in actuality a very emotional and caring person, and he struggles with the idea that other people are scared or intimidated by him. Narul is also sort of meant to be a way for me to address some of my fears and thoughts about time and forgetting and losing the people around you.

Ninma

So Ninma came from a number of places. Her name was mostly just thought up, roughly inspired by a few different Sumerian/Akkadian names and places. As for Ninma herself, she’s of course inspired by characters like Ellie from the Last of Us, Laura from Logan, and Koda from Brother Bear. She’s also inspired by a couple people that I know in real life, namely my partner and my brother. When she grows up and is with Jani in particular, she’s inspired by my partner. Ninma is meant to be the opposite of Narul, she’s rash and clever, charismatic. Though Narul is of course bigger and stronger and is the main POV, in terms of their effect on the world around them, Ninma is by far the more important character. The meaning that she is able to find in a human life is at the core of the first three books of my WIP (The Ninma Cycle).

Akard

Akard’s name comes from the city of Akkad, the capital of the Akkadian Empire, arguably the first in history. He is inspired by characters like Cyrus and Alexander the Great, as well as other famous rulers. A lot of the story as a whole revolves around the theme of Death (Narul’s inability to die, war, sickness, growing old, etc.), Akard’s terminal sickness, Asherdul’s Bane, is meant to serve as a sort of driving force behind his actions. Of course we all know that we have a limited time, but for Akard it's more real. He has to finish what there is to finish before his time is up. In that he acts as the opposite side of the coin to characters like Narul and Mikrab or Batricca, all of which have so much time that it sort of just becomes meaningless. Akard initially started as a much more villainous and evil character, the sort of typical “evil lord” sort of character, but as I thought about him more he changed. Akard is genuinely a good king (as good as absolute monarchs can be at least), he’s brave and fair, and even the terrible things he does, he does for a reason. It just so happens that these reasons endanger the MCs.

Penetinos

Speaking of characters with terminal illness, Penetinos is directly inspired by and modeled after my grandfather, he’s probably the most blatant character basis. He was a history teacher, quiet and kind. His hands shook from an accident when he was a kid. He read constantly and he introduced me to online gaming. He had cancer almost the entire time that I knew him. It was pretty easy to forget about it sometimes, until it wasn’t. For the last couple of years, we all, including him, knew that the end was coming. I’ll admit I’ve never been particularly comfortable with the idea of death. As a kid I’d run into the bathroom in the middle of the night and cry thinking about death, and just the thought of things ending. He never seemed all that bothered by it, at least in front of me. We never really talked about it, but something about his attitude and seeing how he dealt with his illness helped me come to terms with that sort of thing. A big part of my inspiration for writing this story was addressing my own thoughts and anxieties about the passing of time, losing people, and death. He passed last year. I regret that I didn’t talk to him more. We were both sort of quiet people, and as I got older and he got sicker, we just had less to talk about. I think that in some ways, his introducing me to things like Everquest, is a reason why I got interested in fantasy and thus why I started writing this book. It only feels right that he should have some part in Kobani.

Istek

The name Istek is pretty much just gibberish, just a random sound that I made which I turned into a name, even in Kishite it's not really a name, his name means Seagull. Istek is also inspired by one of my grandpas. He was the opposite in a lot of the ways of the person that inspired Penetinos. He was loud, he liked to wrestle, he would tell stories about his time in the navy and growing up in the middle of nowhere, he would spend hours at estates hours and come back with old national geographics and vintage toys to give to his grandkids. It's this sort of bigger than life personality that inspired Istek. It's not a coincidence that they were both sailors. He passed my freshman year. Istek is all about memory, he tells stories about his adventures all the time, he brags, he wants people to remember him. Even as he lives life to the fullest he also holds onto the past. My grandfather had Alzheimer's and as a result he would often forget that he had told us a story. And so he would tell the same story multiple times. There’s a lot of stories of his that I vividly remember because of how many times he told him. I think part of the reason he told those stories so many times was to make sure that he remembered them too. I’ve dealt with a lot of anxieties that I might also start to forget things about myself too one day. Narul’s fears about forgetting the people he cares about as time passes is inspired by that anxiety, as is Mikrab who has forgotten everything about his past. Now Istek, being queer is entirely something that I made up, I’m pretty certain that my grandfather wasn’t queer. My grandfather was also a very tall and strong man, so Istek being short is sort of a personal joke of mine. In some ways, Istek is who I wish I could be, free and happy, secure in himself and his place in the world. Istek doesn't let himself worry about the future, not when there is so much in the present to be enjoy and be thankful for.

Flowers can bloom any season, day or night.

Edit: Finally posted it on Ao3

Summary: Miles defeats Sirius in Belrose mansion, but hears Laura screaming upstairs. What will he do?

Characters: Miles Moore (OC), Laura Belrose, Saphira Belrose, Sigmund Connal, Sirius (Paul Clark)

Notes:

Miles's pokemon are all pink colored, so the pokemon he has are already pink or the shinies are pink.

His mons nicknames for this section: Siren (Primarina), Blossom (Lilligant), Flowercrown (Comfey), King (Pyroar), Prince (Lopunny), Mouse (Alolan-Raichu)

Not beta read.

Wordcount: 2821

“Energy Ball!”

Chandelure’s purple flames shone brightly as it fired a ball of energy at Miles’s Primarina.

“Siren!” Miles shouted out in worry, but his Primarina took the hit and shook off the damage. His shiny pink hue was dirtied by the damage he received, but he still stood strong “Pri!”

Miles sighed in relief before commending one final attack “Hyper Voice! Let’s finish this!” Siren let out a deafening sound of waves, his ability turning it into water type.

The attack knocked out the Chandelure in one go, taking out the Meteor Admin’s last Pokemon.

“Blasted…” Sirius muttered under his breath before returning his pokemon “So you still have fight in you.”

Siren stood next to Miles as he glared down at Sirius, however both of their eyes widened when they heard a scream from upstairs. Everyone in the room turned to look at the hallway that led upstairs “Laura?!” Miles shouted, but he got no reply.

“Oh?” Sirius said “After an ocean of ill-tidings, fortune smiles on me after all.” He turned to look at Miles again with a smug smile “It sounds like someone upstairs has been hurt.”

Miles continued to look at the hallway with a nervous and worried expression, Sirius continued "So, will you rush upstairs to help her, and let me do as I please?” a small pause before he continued “Or will you abandon your friend to keep me fast in place.”

A choice, a painfully difficult choice. Miles looked down at the floor.

Something bad happened to Laura and the twins are left defenseless, but he can’t possibly leave Charlotte and Shelly alone. Even if Sirius and the orderlies have been defeated, those two kids would easily be overpowered by three adults.

He clenched his fist, his eyes closed shut, Siren frowning as he held his trainer’s hand. He couldn’t save them all, someone had to be there to help him-

“Y-you!”

“Me.”

Miles' eyes opened and he looked up, Saphira had appeared.

Suddenly his thoughts got back in order and his body moved, he ran towards the staircase “Siren, stay here and help Saphira if needed!” “Pri!” Siren got into position, He probably should have given Saphira some kind of warning, but he didn’t have the time.

When he reached the top he saw Laura paralyzed on the floor. “Laura!” His voice was filled with worry, he kneeled down and grabbed her gently, he sent out his Comfey “Com?”

“Flowercrown, help her!” The pokemon nodded and started to use Floral Healing. “M-Miles, he attacked me before I could do anything… The twins… Q-quickly.” Laura muttered, still in pain. Miles nodded and gently put her down before running to the end of the hall.

“Stop!” He shouted. There Sigmund was, his Electivire next to him, ready to enter the last room. He frowned “You… I had hoped they would’ve been able to stall you longer. I almost had them.”

Miles glared at him “Step aside from there, Sigmund. You’re not welcome here.” Sigmund raised an eyebrow “And what authority do you think you have over me?” he asked, his voice calm and cold.

Miles kept his composure as best as possible “You broke into this house and attacked one of the residents living here. You have no authority here.” Sigmund crossed his arms “I have authority over the children you kidnapped and took here.” Miles huffed “You have no proof of them being here.”

Sigmund stepped closer “Charlotte her sisters live here, you’re here. I believe it’s very likely that the children you took are here.”

"Likely, which means you don’t know for sure.” Miles argued back.

Sigmund stared Miles directly in his eyes without saying another word. Miles doesn’t realize he’s holding his breath.

“...” Sigmund stayed quiet, he then turned to the door to open it up. “Stop!” Yelled Miles, he reached for his pokeballs “Or I’ll use force.” He didn’t want to. He doesn’t like using force, he doesn’t like violence.

…But these kids had to be protected from Sigmund. The doctor stopped for a second before opening the door, he made eye contact with the twins. Both of their eyes widened.

Miles grabbed his Lilligant’s pokeball and sent her out, the pokemon remembered the doctor from their previous encounter and got into battle position. “Last chance.” he threatened “I’ve defeated you before, I’ll do it again.” Sigmund turned back to look at him, he stared for a moment before smiling and turning back fully to Miles. Miles' confidence dropped as Sigmund approached. “If I recall you faced the orderlies downstairs, and I believe I heard Sirius’s voice not soon after as well.” Miles took one step back as Sigmund took one step forwards. “It’s true that you have defeated me before, but I believe your pokemon are in no condition to fight me.” His gaze lingered towards the end of the hall.

“I knew I couldn’t defeat Laura so I made sure she would be unable to battle me, my team is healthy.” Miles backed up against the wall “So tell me, Miles. How are you able to defeat me in your current state?” He’s right. Although none of Miles’s pokemon fainted against Sirius, King, Mouse and Prince were still very injured. Siren is downstairs, Comfey was treating Laura. Blossom was the only one who did not have to go out to fight before and was at full strength, but she couldn’t possibly take Sigmund’s team up alone.

He couldn’t protect these kids.

…How could he protect his own siblings if he can’t even do that?

Miles looked down defeated, Sigmund huffed “As I thought.” he turned back towards the room “You can’t face me, now if you’ll-” “H-he won’t have to face you alone.” Both of the men turned towards the other end of the hall and saw Laura approaching. Flower Crown held onto her, keeping her steady as it still used Flower Healing, next to Laura was her own Lilligant.

Sigmund let out an annoyed sigh and Miles looked worried “Laura, are you alright?”

Laura smiled at Miles “Y-yeah… I’ll be fine.” her movements were a little slow but she stood next to Sigmund. “I’ll ask you again doctor, please leave my house.”

Miles had regained his confidence, even if his pokemon were weakened he knew Laura would easily be able to back him up. Sigmund looked at the pink-haired duo before taking a step back from the room. “...I can tell when a battle has been lost.” he sounded bitter. He started to walk past them, his Electivire following him “...Lizzy… Lizzy what do I do…?”

Miles and Laura looked at each other with some confusion.

“Is everyone okay?” Anna walked out of the room, followed by her brother “Anna, I told you to stay hidden until we knew they were gone!”

Sigmund stopped in his tracks as the twins walked out of the room “Electivire, 150 volts on Noel and Anna.”

The twins looked in horror as the Electrivire approached them quickly and shot an electric shock their way. “No!” Miles jumped in front of them and got hit with it, he fell forwards onto the floor.

“Miles!” Laura exclaimed, her eyes widened in fear. Miles’s Comfey and Lilligant tried to rush to help their trainer. “Grab him.” The Electrivire grabbed Miles by his ponytail and dragged him away. Blossom and Flowercrown growled “L-let him go!” Laura demanded, her Lilligant rushed forward as well, Sigmund looked at them and spoke up “Don’t try anything now, you don’t want to accidentally hurt your friend in the process do you?” The Electrive held up the unconscious trainer in front of it.

Everyone froze, Miles’s pokemon were growling still but they didn’t want to risk their training getting caught in the crossfire. Sigmund stared at Miles “You’re not who I wantedLizzy what do I do with him… You’re right… You’re right.” Sigmund looked back at the three trainers in front of him “I know I can’t take you children back with me right now, but I’ll take this one with us so that next time there will be one less obstacle in the way.”

“Hey you can’t take him!” Anna shouted, Noel just stood next silently to her and held her hand to comfort her.

Sigmund turned around and started to walk away to the nearest window to escape out of.

Downstairs, Sirius’s transceiver went off.

“You… Captured Miles? Very well, it’s better than leaving empty handed.”

Siren let out a panicked cry, Saphira looked confused “Miles?” Sirius glared at her “That’s my cue to leave, I’ll look forward to NOT seeing you again.”

With that Sirius and the orderlies retreated, Saphira waited for them to be gone “Sigmund…” No, not now. She had to check on her siblings “Charlotte, Laura?! "Where are you?!”

Charlotte called out to her “Saphira! We’re in the kitchen, is the coast clear?” Saphira wanted to run over to the kitchen before she heard Laura call out “Saphira!” She turned around and saw Laura tumbling off the hallway, the twins and Miles’s pokemon behind her. She limped over to her sister.

Siren rushed over to his teammates who explained what happened to him. The three pokemon slumped down sadly, unsure what to do.

“Saphira…” Saphira grabbed her younger sister “What happened to you?” She asked, “T-The doctor didn’t even try to fight… He just straight up attacked me, but that’s not- Miles he-” Laura started to tear up, Saphira gently grabbed her face and wiped the tears away. “They took Miles, I know.”

Saphira hugged her younger sister as she started to silently cry. Charlotte and Shelly ran out of the kitchen, Charlotte upon seeing her sister cry walked over and put a hand on Laura’s back in a comforting manner.

“T-The doctor he attempted to shock the- The twins, but Miles jumped in front of them and then he- I-I was supposed to protect the twins, but because I couldn’t Miles- Miles he-”

Saphira held Laura close “It’s okay… It’s okay… I’ll get him back.”

The two pulled away from each other, Laura wiped away her own tears this time “I-I’ll come along.” She said, Charlotte put her hand on Laura’s shoulder “Me too, Miles saved me once so I think it’s time to return the favor.”

“No, you two are staying back. Laura got hurt already and I’m not letting you get hurt as well Charlotte.” Charlotte crossed her arms and huffed “Ugh, fine. Kick their asses for me.”

Saphira smiled at her “Of course, first I have to figure out where they went.”

“They might not be too far from here.” Laura said “A little while ago a group of similarly dressed men began constructing all that machinery in Tanzan Mountain.” She explained, her older sister nodded, “Good, then I’ll go there, rip their faces off, take back Miles and tear their base down.” Saphira started to walk towards the door “Stay here everyone.” Laura and the kids stayed put, but Miles’s pokemon followed her immediately.

Laura frowned, she wished she could go to help Miles. The conversation she had with him before he left to Spinel Town played in her head again.

“I wish I was more like my sister. When she was 18 she acted much more like an adult than I do now.” Laura said as she poured Miles some tea before he left. “Really? I think you act quite mature for your age.” He said with a comforting smile “Thanks for the tea!” Laura smiled back “You’re welcome!” She poured her own tea before continuing “...Thank you saying that, by the way… I try my hardest. I just feel like I should be more mature than I am right now.”

Miles let out a soft laugh “Laura turned 18 only recently. You may technically be an adult, but you’re still a teenager.” Laura looked at him, appreciation written all over her face. As they drank their tea Laura remembered the first time they met in Obsidia park “Miles,I believe when we first met you mentioned that you are the guardians of your own siblings. May I ask you about them?” Miles looked surprised for a second before nodding “Sure, go ahead.”

“...How involved are you in their lives?” she asked, “With my two youngest siblings I’m very close. One is a toddler and the other… Well he doesn’t have any friends so I’m the only one he’s got. I was hoping moving somewhere else would help him make some more friends. Then there’s… Rose.” Miles smiled sadly as he looked at his tea

Laura leaned closer, curious after the sudden shift in tone “Are you two… Not close?” Miles sighed “We used to be close, but… Well she’s a teenager and I guess they always are looking to be independent but recently she’s been pushing me away a lot.” His sad smile turned into a frown. “At first I thought I was just being overprotective and gave her some more space until one day she yelled that I shouldn’t have to be the one to look after her, that it’s not fair to me or her or our two brothers.” Miles continued “Our parents were all messes, different moms and dads, some of them are alive but can’t or won’t take care of us… So I chose too be the parent in my sibling their lives..”

Laura looked at him before looking down at the reflection in her drink “I see…” She took another sip from her tea. “I think I understand how your sister feels.”

Miles looked at her “Yeah?” Laura nodded “Saphira has always looked out for us in the orphanage, but it was at the extent of her own well being. Sure she wasn’t allowed to take us with her, but she’s made multiple attempts. I want to look after her the same way she has looked after Charlotte and I…” She clutched her cup a bit tighter. “Everytime I ask if she needs help or wants to talk about anything that bothers her she tells me not to worry about her and to just let her take care of me.”

Laura let out a defeated sigh “Even though I’m an adult now she still tries to act like my mother. I don’t want her to be my mother, I want her to be my sister.” tears welled up in her eyes “I try my best… I do the cooking, cleaning, groceries so she doesn’t have to, but… I just wish I could be there for her.”

Miles stared at her silently before extending his hand to her “Hey, Laura.” She looked down at his hand and then at him. She put her hand in his, he put his other hand over hers and held it tightly

“Laura, you being here with her right now is already helping her so much. The fact that one of her sisters is now safe and with her again must have already lifted so much worry and stress from her shoulders.”

Laura slowly smiled again “Thank you, Miles.”

“...” Laura’s frown turned into a determined look “Saphira, wait! I’m coming with you!” Her older sister was halfway through the door but stopped and turned around. “I already told you, no. You were hurt once, I’m not gonna let it happen again.” Laura ran up to her “And I’m telling you that this is what I want!”

Saphira frowned “Laura please.” Laura still looked determined “Miles is the first friend I made since leaving the orphanage. Although I haven’t known him for long, he means a lot to me and I want to help him!”

Saphira put her hand on her younger sister’s shoulder “Look, I get that. He’s your friend and he saved Charlotte, so I want to help him out, but I don’t want to see you hurt anymore.” Laura put her own hadn over her sister’s “I don’t want to see you hurt either.”

Saphira sighed “You don’t have to worry about me.” Laura removed her sister’s hand “Yet I do. Saphira, I’m an adult now. I can make my own decisions, and I’m choosing to come help you out and save my friend.” Saphira looked her sister in the eyes, the determination she hadn't seen from her sister before, yet the loving and caring nature of Laura was written all over her little sister’s face. Saphira smiled as she felt a sense of pride.

“Very well.” The older sister said “But if things get too dangerous you’re leaving, got it?” Laura smiled at her “Deal!” Laura turned to her younger sister and the other kids “We’ll be back soon!”

As they closed the door behind them Miles’s Comfey wrapped itself around Laura’s neck and his Lilligant grabbed her hand, Siren stood next to Saphira. She giggled “Alright you three, we’re gonna save Miles!”

Saphira grabbed her other hand and they went off to save Miles.

Hello, I was hoping you all could help me find a fic that seems to have disappeared from my bookmarks. It’s about how Hermione is not “recovering” from the war with a successful career like Harry who has become an auror mentored by Gawain Robards. She is asked to volunteer at a rehabilitation center north for war victims and for convicts. She ens up taking over the group made up of Malfoy, Parkinson, Nott, Bulstrode, and an OC I can’t remember. Her boss is a misogynist nightmare who turns out to be dirty and working for a corrupt Robards. Robards is angling to be Minister with the patronage of the Greengrass patriarch who seems to be some kind of king,asker in the background. Hermione brings her concerns to Harry and he dismisses and belittles her. She leaves and ends up in an empty investment apartment of Malfoy’s who has been reluctantly talking to her after meetings. They have become friendly and start to develop romantically. Then Malfoy is blackmailed into an engagement to Daphne Greengrass to save his mother from her infidelity being made public. Draco, Hermione, and Theo decide to keep looking for a way out and start diving into politics. Hermione decides to back Hestia Jones. Harry finally realizes everything that has been going on, including being set up as a fall guy for all the embezzlement from the ministry. Theo joins up with revolutionaries through his many middle-aged, nouveau riche, half blood paramours. In the end Narcissa decides to deal with her own consequences allowing Draco to be happy with Hermione. I have read this fic a few times and now I cannot find it anywhere. Please convince me I did not dream up this fic in my head multiple times.

Thank you so much,

Laura

This?

The Light is No Mystery - masterofinfinities - M, 41 chapters, Words: 238,224 - Defeating one man was simpler than ripping out the roots of a centuries-old belief system. For Hermione Granger, agreeing to work in the Mental Rehabilitation Center is the latest attempt at stitching her life back together. For Draco Malfoy, finishing his court-mandated rehab has just gotten a lot harder. Soon, Hermione and Draco find themselves in the middle of a storm of new politics, power struggles, and pureblood culture. But a growing connection between them might not only change the course of their lives, but also the future of the Wizarding World.

Magic and Secrets, Chapter 5 - Sanji x Witch!OC

WARNING: Mature content ahead!

DISCLAIMER: I do not own One Piece or the art featured above. This is a fan-created work featuring an original character.

Read Chapter 4 Here

Read Chapter 3 Here

Read Chapter 2 Here

Read Chapter 1 Here

“The boy’s dead? Then the arrangement is null and void.” Misericors spoke in a hushed yet excited tone. “Which means we can sell the brat off again!”

“Not quite, darling.” Praesentia chided her husband, pointing to the paper before her. “The contract clearly states here that should her betrothed perish, she is still to be delivered to the king as a concubine.”

A thirteen year old Vera held her breath as she pressed closer to the wall. She knew that eavesdropping on her mother and stepfather would warrant a painful thrashing, should she be caught. But the risk was necessary. When the letter bearing the seal of Germa’s monarchy, she knew it pertained to her arranged marriage. But her mother had snatched the parchment before she could even glimpse to whom it had been addressed.

Misericors grumbled under his breath, “At least we’ll be rid of her then. When does it say we should ship her off?”

“Tomorrow morning.”

At first, she tiptoed. Then, she walked. And once she knew her mother and stepfather were out of earshot, Vera broke into a full sprint. Her destination was unknown. She simply had to get away.

Sanji was dead.

This whole time - through all the abuse and neglect she’d suffered at her parents’ hands - he’d been her light at the end of the dark tunnel. Her hope. Her salvation.

It didn’t matter that they’d never officially met. She knew through letters and photos that he was the same as her. Abused and miserable. The promise of a happier life with a man who might be able to love her had kept her going. But now that hope was gone.

Her stepfather had lectured Vera for countless hours on the importance of saving herself for her future husband. Besides her status, she knew that her virginity was the main selling point for the marriage. But giving that to the man who’d bought her contract? He was supposed to be her father in law, not her master!

With tears streaming down her face, she crashed into another slave.

“Lady Vera? Whatever is the matter, dear?” The woman crouched down so that her face was level with Vera’s. She held the younger girl’s face gently, thumbs wiping away fat teardrops. “Have the Lord or Lady of the house been cruel to you again?”

Through racking sobs, Vera informed her of the situation. “They’re sending me to Germa first thing tomorrow! I can’t do this, Laura!” She fell to her knees, taking the other female with her. “I don’t know what to do. I can’t give myself to him.”

Laura held the girl, silently cursing whichever gods existed for their injustice. “Vera, you need to escape.” She pulled back until the two women could make eye contact. “Run away and never look back.”

An hour later and the two women found themselves on a rocky beach, a tiny boat no bigger than a dinghy before them. Their descent from Mariejois had proven quite treacherous, being unable to take the bondolas. Instead, they’d climbed down the Red Line by hand with only moonlight to illuminate their way.

Vera moved to board the microscopic vessel, ready to be free of this life . However, she found herself being spun around and pressed face first into a warm chest. Laura cradled the girl’s head against her, grip unyielding as she spoke a quiet prayer for the witch’s safety. “Take care of yourself, dear.”

The younger girl pulled back to make eye contact. Her gaze was wide with fear. “You’re not coming with me?”

Laura took a step back and shook her head. “If I left too, I’d only cause more grief for the other slaves.”

Vera’s lip quivered as her eyes grew watery once more. “Thank you, Laura. For everything.”

The older woman only smiled before she gently pushed Vera onto the boat.

***

Vera admired the newly organized shelving. It had taken a while to figure out a storage solution for over 70,000 bullets. But as they sat now, neatly stacked in watertight boxes, they were quite aesthetic. She did wonder how to make use of them though. Perhaps during her next scuffle with the navy she’d also take some of their guns.

Taking in her surroundings, she felt pride well within her. It’d been months since she’d last visited the space, and as she spirited away more objects, the room had only grown in its chaos. But after hours - maybe days - of work, the place was nice and tidy once more.

She didn’t know how long she’d been hidden away. Over the years of using her magic, she’d failed to take a clock. She couldn’t even look outside to estimate the time of day. The astral plane was a black void, the occasional distant star the only break in an otherwise endless sea of ink. But did that really matter now?

She’d made a fool of herself. In front of her friends, no less. The only friends she had. Not just that, but they now all knew she’d developed feelings for one of them.

Damn that Trafalgar Law. Sure, she’d been less than discreet, but why did he have to be so perceptive? And why did he have to open his big mouth?

Vera wished she could punch him. But she knew that would only result in pain for her. He was a pirate and the user of the Ope Ope devil fruit. He could slice her into a million pieces and scatter them before she could blink.

Falling onto the plush bed, she put her head into her hands. How much had he told them? And how much did he know? He was her captain’s ally, so she couldn’t retaliate openly. But she could talk to him.

She sat up, looking at her reflection. The mirror was still cracked, but she’d cleaned the dust off. The image that stared back looked shaken. Her hair was a mess and her eyes were hollow. Her stomach gurgled, reminding her that she’d not eaten since the incident on the beach.

She couldn’t starve herself. And she needed to shower. A heavy sigh escaped dry lips. Why was it always food?

The door to the girls dorm creaked as Vera opened it, causing the girl to flinch. Looking out across the deck, relief washed over her upon noticing the night sky. Hesitant steps brought her just outside the door, which she closed as quietly as she could manage.

Once it had been firmly shut, she opened it once more to ensure that the portal had closed. Inside the dorm was a mess. The furniture was out of place and objects had been strewn everywhere. Vera couldn’t help the comparison to her pocket dimension before she’d cleaned.

Deep breaths could be heard through the darkness, signaling that both Nami and Robin were sleeping inside. She closed the door gently, this time making no noise.

“Interesting trick.”

Vera jumped, squeaking in fear before slapping both palms over her mouth. Turning around quite forcefully, her eyes met with a single emerald.

“Zoro!” She hissed in a mock whisper. Of course the swordsman was awake, taking his nighttime duty of guarding the ship seriously. Though the saké bottle in his left hand did contradict this.

The greenette crossed his arms, a frown taking over his features. “You’ve been gone for almost two days. Do you have any idea how worried everyone’s been?”

Vera’s eyes widened as she stilled in surprise. “They were worried about me?”

“Of course we were!” She tried to shush his rising volume, to no avail. “You’re part of this crew aren’t you?!”

“Vera? Are you really back?” The witch in question whipped around to meet with two groggy faces. Before she could react, slender arms wrapped around her form and brought her face first into a pair of large breasts. “Don’t you ever worry us like that again!” Nami’s voice was near hysterical.

Robin smiled from her place behind the ginger woman. “We’re glad you’re back.”

Roughly 15 minutes later and the entire crew had woken up to greet the girl, all expressing their concern and gratitude to have her returned to them. The group now sat at the dining table of the Sunny’s kitchen as Sanji prepared a late night meal for everyone.

“Where were you?” Law’s deep voice broke through the energetic chatter.

Vera looked down, her visage reflected in the mug of tea she held. “I was in a secret room in the astral plane.” Her voice was quiet, sounding small in the large dining area.

“You can do that?” Luffy was the one who spoke, his eyes not leaving the meat Sanji had just plated. “That’s like the best way to win at hide and seek!”

Nami scoffed. “Or run away and make your nakama worried sick over you! You weren’t even in this plane of reality! What if something happened? How would we reach you?!” The others voiced their agreement

The hurt and concern in her friend’s voice felt akin to an older sister. Her heart wavered at the flood of emotions this realization brought on. They all truly cared for her.

Vera wiped her eyes, salty tears dampening the backs of her hands before they could fall. She then flicked her wrist and produced a key from seemingly nowhere, handing it to Nami. The navigator inspected the object, silver metal glinting under incandescent light bulbs.

“If you put that key into the lock of any door, it’ll make a portal to the room.” She paused to wipe away more water from her eyes. “Just please take good care not to lose it. The magic is in the key so it’ll work for anyone that tries using it.”

Nami smiled and added the key to a necklace she was wearing. Once the chain had been re-clasped, she patted her hand on the object which now rested over her heart. “Thank you, Vera. I promise to only use it if absolutely necessary.”

Neatly plated dishes were then sat upon the table. Thin slices of meat layered atop one another in a spiral over a bed of rice. Dolloped to the side were circles of colorful sauces. Sanji took his seat to the left of the women, who sat together with Vera in the middle, and put out the cigarette he’d been smoking.

“Wow, Sanji! This looks SUPER fancy!” Franky had already picked up his utensils, ready to dig in.

The cook smirked, looking at Vera from the corner of his eye before returning his gaze to the cyborg. “I figured the safe return of our newest crew member called for celebration.”

The crew ate and drank merrily, discussing their plans to leave the island at daybreak. They hadn’t set sail with Vera gone for fear they’d leave her behind, having no idea where she’d disappeared to. But now that she had returned and the log pose had reset, they were free to head out towards their next destination.

They spoke enthusiastically, guessing what the next island would be like, each making impossible assumptions. Eventually, the group grew tired and one by one, they each excused themselves from the table. Vera had been among the last to leave, thoroughly enjoying everyone’s company and relishing in her newly acquired sense of belonging. She’d even offered to help Sanji with the dishes, though he politely refused.

“You’ve had a long couple of days.” The blonde spoke with a smile, a lit cigarette hanging from his lips once again. “Go rest. I’ve got this.”

The witch gave her thanks before leaving the kitchen. Once outside, instead of making her way to the girls’ dorm she instead walked to one of the ship’s railings. Leaning against the smooth wooden banister, Vera brought her gaze to the night sky. The moon hung low, stars glittering in constellations she’d never bothered to learn.

“Don’t think they’ve forgotten.” Law had spoken from beside her, leaning against the same banister and facing the girl.

“Forgotten what?” Vera’s eyes narrowed at the man. She didn’t like him, and each of their interactions only served to cement the feeling.

The surgeon tsked, moving to face Sunny’s main mast, his back now resting against the railing. “What do you think? Everything that happened on the beach. You being in love with Blackleg-ya, all those scars you failed at hiding, and the slave mark.”

She instinctively clutched her arm, taking a step back from the man. Law didn’t move, only looking at her from the side. “I never said I was in love with him.”

Law frowned. “You didn’t say you weren’t either.”

“Why are you even here? Don’t you have your own ship and crew to travel with?” Vera’s tone had turned defensive. Her distaste for the man grew more evident with each word.

He smiled. It was a genuine smile that crinkled the corners of his golden eyes. When he spoke, his voice sounded amused. “Don’t try to change the subject.” He then moved to face her once more with his arms crossed over his chest, the jolly roger on his shirt now obscured. “I could remove them if you wish.”

At first, Vera said nothing. She didn’t trust this man, even if her captain did. Seeing her momentary distraction with her own thoughts, Law moved closer to the girl. “I am a surgeon. A little cosmetic procedure and it’d be like you were never a slave to begin with.”

His offer was tempting. She’d never have to worry about anyone seeing her branding again. She could wear whatever she wished without care. “You’re also a Worst Generation pirate captain. What would be in it for you?”

His smile didn’t falter. “Call it helping my allies. I just want to know the story.”
