You coughed, turned again in your bed and finally decided that you weren't going to be able to go back to sleep. You yawned rubbing your eyes with your small hands as you sat up in bed, you looked around the beautiful room you shared with your father. Although you were the one who spent most of your time in that room, so your father had made the necessary changes so that you wouldn't be bored in a place full of adult things.
You now had your own table to study at, your own corner with toys, even an armchair for your size. Furthermore, there were several books that could distract you, it might not be paradise for most children but you were never very demanding, you had toys and other activities and that was more than enough to entertain you for hours. Besides that, when your father was in a good mood he would let you watch the activity at the circus where you lived, it was always such a colorful and lively spectacle that you were mesmerized by everything. Your father hated the circus, but he had made sacrifices for you for your enjoyment, the truth was that more and more of you two went to watch the shows just because he wasn't able to resist the enchanted face of his little son.
Yawning, you moved through the various scarves, furs and other cloths that were always on your bed. Partly to protect you from the cold and partly because you moved so much that your father got tired of always covering you up again, so he just covered you with lots more cloths to make sure you were still covered even if you tossed and turned all night.
You had a little trouble getting out of bed, but you were soon on the floor, your fuzzy socks keeping you from feeling cold. It wasn't long before several of the circus crew saw a child walking around in green banana pajamas and dragging a huge crocodile stuffed animal with him, of course everyone knew who that child belonged to so it wasn't any problem. All the Cross Guild pirates were very kind to you and were always giving you sweets or doing little tricks, you really liked them but your father not so much, so he always made sure you had as little contact with them as possible. He always said that if you spent too much time with them you would become as dumb as Buggy, you didn't understand exactly what that meant.
Luckily the door to your father's office was just ajar, you pushed it with both hands and entered the room. It was similar to his father's old office but was a little smaller and more minimalist, probably because it wasn't very safe to have so much furniture on a ship that could face huge storms. So even now on land his father didn't have many decorations taken from the ship's office.
Crocodile didn't even look up from his papers when the door opened, it was probably Mihawk or Buggy since they had a meeting scheduled this evening, if it weren't them then it would be Mr.1 reporting to him. However, when no one said anything and the door remained open he was slightly confused, he looked up and found no one, his eyebrows were furrowed as he thought of a punishment if it was a prank by Buggy. But to his surprise, all that happened were two little hands pulling his coat trying to get his attention.
“Daddy, lap, daddy” you called for him softly, you were tired and it was obvious that you had just woken up.
"What are you doing here? It’s past your bedtime” he asked with a slightly more affectionate tone that he used specifically for you. Of course it wasn't even close to an extremely loving voice, but it was gentle and calm, an extreme compared to his harsh and aggressive voice towards others. “You should be in bed.” He blew the hair from your forehead as he let you lay against his chest, he had to hold you with his hook arm but you seemed extremely comfortable sleeping on him. It had been a little over an hour since he had put you to sleep and he definitely didn't expect to see you here.
“I can’t sleep” you yawned as you held your crocodile plush tighter and leaned on him, you were lying half sideways against his chest. This reminded the adult of when you were a little baby, he would always hold you regardless of what he needed to do, you were a very needy baby, always crying when he left you alone... maybe he missed how little and needy of his attention you were.
“Do you want me to put you to bed again?” Crocodile was ignoring that he had a meeting soon, the other two pirates could wait, after all his little sand prince would always be his priority.
“No… I'll be right back… I just want… to stay here for a little while” you yawned and finally closed your eyes and relaxed completely against your father. You were already big, but now curled up in his arms with a face so relaxed you almost looked like a baby again.
Sighing Crocodile couldn't hold back his smile, of course he was quick to hide it not wanting anyone but you to see this. He covered you with the huge coat he always wore and went back to his paperwork, he would take you to his bed soon, he would just enjoy this peaceful time with you a little more.
He only realized that a lot of time had passed when Mihawk, Buggy and Mr.1 were entering the office. The clown was shouting and complaining about something while Mihawk ignored him, Daz was holding some papers and approached his boss's desk more quickly. Obviously he was quick to notice the strange bulge hidden beneath his coat, before he could question it he saw his little hand clinging to his father's shirt, he almost smiled but that didn't suit him.
“Do you want me to take the young master to the room?” He asked as he placed the papers on the table and the mention of another person in the room made Mihawk and Buggy shift their attention to Crocodile.
“No, I'll take him after the meeting” he dismissed the support, even though Mr.1 had been his babysitter for the last few months, there were things that the pirate refused to let others do with his son. These were things that only he, the father, had the right to do.
"I see we will have a little guest today" Mihawk said with a gentler air as he sat down, it was strange but the swordsman didn't hate children. A few times he had even seen the two of you interacting while Dracule told you about some island he had been to.
“Oh, that explains his calmness” Buggy sighed a little relieved knowing that Crocodile would never be cruel or scary in front of him.
“Shut up and let’s get this over with, I have other matters to deal with” the hooked man said harshly. Everyone agreed but deep down it wasn't difficult to realize that your father had a huge soft spot for you... And well, you weren't complaining about that.

You entered your home to the sound of niggas cheering at the TV. You scoffed and rolled your eyes, hanging your head down low at the thought of these mu’fuckas again in your goddamn house.
It was a never ending circus of clown niggas in your home, eating your shit, laughing and farting. It was revolting. You came in and slammed the door. Kane and his little friends barely acknowledged you. 
You walked past the TV. Kane sat in the recliner by the arch way. He caught your hand as you passed by. Brought it to his lips and placed a small kiss there. “No kisses for me?” He asked and looked you up and down. 
Too annoyed to be flattered, you yanked your hand out of his. “I’m sick of this shit, Kane,” you said. 
It was bad enough that he made you move down here after his bid. You hated it down here. Fake ass slice of paradise. There was always mu’fuckas running in and out of your house like you were a group home. Then it got shot up not too long ago and you were still finding debris on your floor. 
Kane rolled his eyes and sighed. He turned his attention back to the TV. You’d had this argument a dozen times. And he was gon’ hear it a dozen more. You walked into the kitchen to unload the few groceries you could manage. You did not want to keep shopping for these niggas. Maybe if the food dried up, they’d clear out. 
Finished, you walked past the living room. Kane stopped you once more. You snatched your hand away with a tiny slap against his wrist. His hand gripped your wrist, squeezing a bit. “Now that’s the second time you don’ walked past me with no kisses,” he said.
“Let me go,” you hissed at him. His little friends got quiet. You leaned into Kane’s face and leveled him with a stare. “Let. Me. Go.” 
Kane stared at you back. Smoke from his joint wafted into your face. The TV blared on and on about some commercials. 
Kane smirked and let you go. You whirled around and headed straight for your room. It was decorated in your favorite color with a complimentary trim on the bottom. You turned on the light and closed the door behind you.
You were still so fucking mad. You couldn’t walk around your house in your panties anymore. There was always someone around, always someone sniffing up under Kane’s balls. You liked the money as much as the next person, but you did not sign up for this shit.  
You turned on the TV, flipping the switch on the big box, and walked over to the closet. You stripped out of your work clothes, hanging them up. You climbed into bed in one of Kane’s shirts and laid across the top of the bed. You pulled a pillow over and hung your head on it. 
A moment later, the door opened. No knock. “What the fuck?” You yelled out, scrambling to cover yourself.
“You know I’m the only nigga that don’t knock around here,” Kane’s raspy voice said. Inwardly, you melted. His voice was like running your fingers across violin strings. Your thighs tingled just hearing it. 
“Go away, Kane.” You settled back on the bed. Fuck ass nigga. 
“Fuck is this about?” Kane crossed the room with his slow gait. He leaned against the dresser next to the TV. He leaned forward, his arms scraping his legs. “Fuck with the attitude?”
“I want these niggas out of my house. I’ve been sayin’ that shit to you,” you snapped. 
The tattoo above Kane’s eye twitched as he raised his eyebrow. You stared at him. “You bold as hell today,” he said. 
“I am sick of these mu’fuckas in my house. When we came down here, you promised shit would be different. You promised that I’d have my privacy. That this wouldn’t touch me,” you said.
“Baby, I told you things were going on that required extra security. These little niggas are ruthless. There’s no respect,” he said. 
“You and your fuckin’ code,” you said and rolled your eyes. When he was in a mood, he liked to go on and on about the game. That too many OGs got killed or put in jail. Leaving too many little Black boys to run along with their own rules. No one to rein them in. 
When he got like that, you tuned out and hoped it wouldn’t last all night. 
“Code is what keeps us safe,” he said.
“Whatever, Kane. Go away,” you said. You weren’t in the mood for an argument. You turned your eyes to the TV, letting the soft light lull you away. 
Rough hands grabbed you by the ankles and yanked. You screamed, nails sliding against the covers looking for an anchor. Kane’s hands rubbed and squeezed on your booty, scrunching the meat in his hands. 
A breath escaped you, close to a moan but you held it back. “Kane, what the fuck!” You yelled. You tried to hold onto your anger, but when his hands were on you like this your brain turned to mush. It was like he had you trained to his hands, to his voice. One look, one sigh, and it had you on your knees ready to do whatever he wanted. 
Kane ran his finger beneath the center of your panties, his finger lightly rubbing your pussy and clit. You bit your lip, hard, fighting to keep down the rising moan. The urge to arch your back and forgive him. 
“Fuck this, Kane. Get them niggas out of my house,” you yelled.
“You forget who pay all the bills around this mu’fucka?” Kane slapped your ass, hard. 
You cried out, but your pussy only got wetter. He went back to rubbing your booty, rubbing the sting away. 
“I am doing everything I can to make sure you’re straight, baby. And the only thing I get back is attitude. You wouldn’t even kiss me on the cheek. Fuck am I supposed to think about that?” He slapped your ass again. You felt your ass jiggle, each bringing more pain. 
You cried out and hoped it was in pain, not that it felt good. You didn’t want to encourage him. But it was probably futile. His finger was still running up and down your pussy, his finger getting wetter and sliding more smoothly.
“I’m sick of this bullshit, Kane. Yours this and yours that. I can move back to Vallejo tonight!” You had been kicking around the idea for a while. You were unhappy here. This was not what you had pictured. He said you’d be safe. He said he’d take you away from your family and treat you like a queen. He was nothing but a liar.
“You sick of the bullshit, then why my pussy wet?” 
At his words, your pussy throbbed. A weak whine left you. 
“Huh? What was that?” His finger sped up and you shivered. Your mouth worked open and closed like a fish. You couldn’t draw in a full breath. 
“Nothin’ to say now?” He asked. He slowed his finger. 
“No, no, no, no, wait,” you cried out. You moved your hips, trying to get his finger to speed up. Had he kept going, you would’ve cum in no time. 
“Get off me, Kane. Fuck you!” 
“It’s cute that you think you can just leave me,” he said. “I know this shit been hard. But I haven’t lied, baby. I got us. And I can’t do this without you,” he said.
“I don’t fuckin’ believe you anymore,” you said. Tears floated to the surface but you ignored it. You didn’t need this shit. Moving was sounding better and better. 
You felt Kane lower his sweats. He moved his finger to move your panties to the side. You wanted to push him away, tell him to get out and go hang with his little friends. To find some other bitch to suck his dick. 
Kane moved closer, swirling his dick in between your folds to get the tip wet. You shivered and moaned. He slapped the fat tip against your clit and you cried out, needing him to get on with it. 
“Let me hear you say it,” he said.
“I hate you!” You said.
Kane chuckled and slapped his dick against you again. “Then why my pussy wet then?” 
He slid inside you and you moaned again, clutching the sheets. Kane buried himself all the way to the hilt. He groaned and shook himself a few times, to make sure that he was feeling every bit of your pussy. 
“You know I love you, baby,” he said. His hands gripped your ass and squeezed. You moaned and shook your ass. His answering groan only turned you on and made you clench around him. 
“I know you love me too,” he said. He lifted your shirt, pressing kisses along your spine. You held on to the covers, nails digging deep and making your fingers cramp. 
“Move, nigga!” You demanded. 
Kane chuckled. His hand snapped out, wrapping around your ponytail and yanking. He pushed the side of your face into the bed. His face was next to yours, his breaths starting to come out in harsh bursts. 
“I see what the issue is now. You just wanted some dick. Daddy been gon’ too long, huh?” He asked. 
“Fuck you,” you said and pushed against his hand. He moved his hand down to your neck. His fingers tightened against it and you moaned, fighting off tears. 
Fuck him. Because dammit, he was right. With all of the craziness going on, you were lonely as hell. Kane was too paranoid to really let you go out. Sure, you went out for work and random crashes with your friends. But most of your life was spent inside being guarded from stray bullets. 
He moved, moving out of you and then slamming back in with a brutal thrust. You cried out. Air escaped your lungs. You breathed in choppy waves. 
“I’m sorry I haven’t been here, baby. Everything I do, it’s for you,” he said. He kissed your ear and pressed forward, cutting off even more of your air supply. You couldn’t fuckin’ breathe. Kane used his incredible size to completely cover you. 
He moved out and then slammed back in again. “Oh god,” you cried. Your brain went ten kinds of mushy, calming down and making your eyes droop. He completely stretched you out, that fit tip pushing against the deepest part of you that he could reach. 
“I’m sorry Daddy hasn’t been around. But you have to start talkin’ to me baby. Let me know when you need me to get you right,” he said. 
“I’m serious, Kane. I don’t like these niggas in here,” you managed to croak. 
“It’s for your protection, baby. I need you safe. You keep me going,” he said.
He moved his hips. Your wet, hot channel warming his dick and soaking him. You felt how wet you were. Arousal leaked out around his dick, slipping down your thighs. Fuck, you needed him to move. You needed him to slam his dick inside of you. You needed him to put you to sleep. 
“I’m not comfortable here,” you said.
Kane moved his hips and you groaned. His dick twitched inside of you. You pictured him busting a nut, filling you up, and claiming you the way you wanted. 
Kane sighed and kissed your cheek. “What can I do to make you comfortable?” He asked. “Please, baby. The last thing I want is for you to leave me,” he said in your ear. 
His raspy voice only made you cry out. A shake was working its way up your legs and hips, vibrating with need. Kane moved a hand to the front of you, running his fingers through your pussy lips and rolling around your clit. 
You jerked forward, cumming on his fingers and flooding his dick with your arousal. You moaned and cried, shaking and twitching on his dick. 
He held you down through it, watching you with fascination as you unwound. “There it is, mama. Don’t that feel better?” He asked. He kissed you on the lips, running his tongue along the corner of your mouth. He licked your face and you moaned. 
“So pretty when you cum, mama. Say you won’t leave me,” he said. 
“Kane, I can’t–”
Kane moved over you slowly, stroking his dick into you at a leisurely pace he set. You moaned on every time he went in, somehow getting impossibly deep. 
“Tell me you won’t leave me. Who else hit this shit right?” He asked.
You didn’t dare answer. Your answer was never satisfactory. Kane moved his fingers to his mouth and licked them. He hummed and the wet smacks of his tongue turned you on. He felt it and angled his hips, driving in. 
“Who else get this pussy talkin’?” He asked. 
Your legs shook holding up your weight. “It’s you,” you said. You needed him to speed up. But Kane always did the opposite of what you needed. 
You continued to slide up and down his dick like a slow see-saw. You cried out. His hand squeezed harder on your throat. 
“Then why don’t you believe me, huh? Can’t you feel what you do to me?” He asked. 
You did feel it. His dick slid against your walls. The veiny underside rubbed inside of you. The tip of his dick kissed your G spot. 
“Kane, please,” you said. 
“You know what my name is, baby. Stop playin’ with me before I get mad,” he said. 
You didn’t want him to be mad. There were few things you could deny this man. You could at least be stubborn while he was winning. You could make him fight for every sound from you. Sort of. You never quite managed it in all the time you’ve been together. 
“Please,” you begged. Your belly tightened. With every stroke, he pushed it to the surface. 
He was dragging it out of you, each pump setting you on fire. 
“Say my mu’fucka name,” he said. His voice went lower and you cried out. 
“Please,” you whispered. 
He slammed into you once, jerking you to wake and scream out. “Daddy, wait!” You moved your hand behind you, searching for his body. He was pressed too close to you, so all you could do was slap against his back. Grip his shirt in your hands to push him off. 
Kane chuckled and started slamming into you over and over. “Feel so fuckin’ good squeezing this dick, mama. Gripping this shit. Needing this shit huh? Daddy won’t be gone so long next time, I promise. Haven’t I kept all my promises to you?” He asked.
“Daddy, wait, I’m sorry,” you said. His slams were forceful, pushing you into the bed harder and rougher. Your pussy walls fluttered around his dick and he groaned at the sensation. His thrusts were punishing. Pushing you too fast towards an orgasm. 
You cried out, your thighs squeezing together. “Tight as shit for Daddy,” he said. He kissed your lips, kissed your cries away. He kissed and licked your mouth, tasting your scream from the inside out. 
Your orgasm was still rolling through you. The tail end of it triggered another one. You started crying and shaking, mumbling under your breath. “Oh fuck. Oh fuck.” 
Kane finally groaned, filling you up with his hot nut. He pushed into you more as he came, biting your ear. His hand squeezed further, cutting off your air. 
Kane released you and slipped out of you. The mushroom head stretched out your entrance and you moaned. Kane slapped your ass. 
“You show Daddy that you want it. Show me you love me,” he said.
Kane yanked you off of the bed. Your jello-like legs wobbled on the plush carpet. He climbed into bed, having shed his sweats completely. You climbed back into the bed and backed into him. 
You straddled his legs and he slapped your ass. You pushed onto his dick and sighed at feeling full again. You got onto your elbows and started pushing your ass up and down, throwing it back on him and feeling more and more accomplished as he moaned.
His fingers curled around your hips. Fingertips pressed into your skin. He moaned and watched you slide on his dick. He once told you that he loved watching himself disappear into your wet pussy. 
That sometimes he got so hard, he had to rub one out thinking of your slick heat welcoming him home over and over. 
That thought made you lose your rhythm. Made you jerk and your hips stutter. Kane slapped your ass with two quick taps. The sting made you hiss. 
“Okay, okay,” you said. You rolled your hips, finding your rhythm again. 
“That’s it, mama. You needed this. That’s aight. I needed it too,” he said. He trailed his hand under his shirt, rubbing into your lower back.
“Oh shit,” you said, a moan accompanying it. The unexpected massage was like an extra slice of heaven. You clenched around him. You were stuffed, riding his big dick like one of them pony rides. 
“C’mon baby. Let me hear that pretty voice. You’re not going anywhere,” he said.
“I’m not going anywhere,” you relented. You moved your hand under your shirt and squeezed your nipples. A wave of pleasure moved from the top of your head to the tip of your toes. 
“You gon’ stay,” he said.
“I’m gon’ stay,” you whined.
“You gon’ stay by my side.”
“I’ma stay by yo side,” you moaned. 
“I love you, baby.”
“I love you, baby.”
“I need you, baby.”
“I need you, baby.”
“Fuck me,” he moaned.
“Fuck me,” you said and exploded around his dick. Thunder erupted in between your thighs. Lightning shot through your veins. The scream of the wind left your lungs as you came on him, creaming around him. 
You screamed out curses and stutters. Kane slapped your ass through this. “My fuckin’ pussy, right?”
“Yes, Daddy.” 
“This the last time we talkin’ about this shit, right?”
“Yes, Daddy.” He wrapped his hands around your back and pulled you towards him. Then, he grabbed your arms and pulled them behind you. You continued to slam yourself on him, even though you were far too sensitive. Too raw and exposed. But if you didn’t…if you stopped…you clenched around him at the thought.
“Daddy said he’ll get in this more, right? You believe Daddy?” 
“Yes, Daddy,” you said. 
Kane groaned and unloaded inside of you. His hot cum pulsed and shot deep. You cried out. “Fuck, Daddy,” you said.
The jets of cum tickled enough of you inside that one more orgasm rolled through you. You turned boneless, collapsing forward. Kane was the only thing keeping you upright. You twitched and moaned as it coursed through you. 
Kane wiggled his hips, causing a moan before he slipped out. He pulled you backwards. You groaned at the bend in your legs. The rough fucking made you twinge from overextended muscles in your thighs. 
He rolled you onto your side and followed behind. He spooned you, throwing one leg over you.
“I told yo ass, you can’t leave me. It’s us or nothing at all,” he said.
You sniffled and nodded your head. “Yes, Daddy.”

All You Have is Printed Circuits
.
(Context: TOS episode - "This Side of Paradise")
As the characteristic of being dangerously confident was in every cell of his body, Kirk was sure he'd succesfully gaslight Spock in order to help him build anger and fight against the alien infection that had already taken over Spock's mind.
"All you have is printed circuits!"
"Captain...I..."
"...you devil-eared freak!.....a planet of traitors.....never had an ounce of integrity...a carcass full of memory banks...."
"Jim.."
...
Kirk feels the selfloath all over his body generating from the very core of his mind. Every words leaving his tongue, backfired at his heart. In front of his eyes, Spock was turning paler each second....the disbelief on his face, his eyes, his beautiful sparkling eyes....Kirk wanted to hold Spock and mind meld with him, speak with him, that none of these mean anything except he just has to invoke a strong emotion and kick the spores out of his system. If it were the other way round, if it were Kirk, it would have taken seconds for Spock to mind meld with the captain and make him aware of the situation.
But all Kirk has got, is that insane hope that Spock WILL understand why he's doing this...Spock will recognise Jim through all these opaque curtains of words that Jim would never, in any universe, think of for real.
...
Spock grabbed Kirk's torso and threw him against the wall. He forced himself back to the moment and kept yelling at Spock.
"You belong in a circus, Spock, not a starship.."
Spock's whole face went green. He was trembling. He closed his eyes and submit to the tsunami of hormones breaking onto him like a cloudburst. He picked up a chair and walked a few steps towards Kirk who was at that moment, still lying on the floor, still looking back at Spock. He wasn't capable of moving his literally bloody mouth.
*Wake up Spock! Wake the fuck up!!!*
Spock wasn't seeing.
Spock wasn't thinking.
Spock wasn't listening anymore.
Spock lifted the chair above his head.
"H-had enough?" Kirk tried to speak out faintly. His chest rising at its best to catch some air for him. Spock put his arms down in a lightning speed and smashed the chair onto James Tiberius Kirk, his captain, his T'hy'la.
...
Spock felt like rising his head above the waves! He doesn't remember much, only some auditory montage of words, pain all over his body...and then it all started coming to him episodically, incidents one after another. Even the Vulcan part of his brain took 4-5 seconds to get a grab of the situation. Then he looked down.
Jim was there. Lying on the floor on his back. his whole body was shaking. His head was turned to one side, with eyes closed...blood sipping from the corner of his mouth. Broken pieces of that chair covered his chest and abdomen forming a messy pile. Spock desperately hunched over him and shook him by grabbing his shoulders.
"Jim!"
Spock didn't waste a second. He dragged Jim somewhat closer to the wall. Jim's shirt from chest to abdomen was blood-soaked..torn in different places. Everything was going too fast for Spock.
"Captain..please.....Jim"
Spock patted on his cheeks. Almost like a slap. He knew Jim's just unconscious for now but he needs immediate medical attention to check for internal injuries.
Spock pulled Jim into his arms from behind and tried to make his torso stay upright.
His eyes were fixed on Jim, whose head was now resting on Spock's chest. On many occasions he had been either sassy or rude about Jim's recent weight again. At this moment almost the half of his body was rested against Spock's and Spock didn't feel a thing. Jim looked so tired, so very still, alarmingly still....and small. Spock felt like he can wait for an eternity with Jim on his lap if that's what it's gonna take before Jim gains consciousness.
Why is it taking so long! Spock was checking his pulses frequently. He needs him to wake up! He needs his help to at least make McCoy come aboard and start the necessary treatments.
For the first time Spock felt somewhat helpless and his human side missed Leonard like hell!
"...Sp.."
Spock turned his heads to Jim in a millisecond!!!
"Spock.."
Jim finally opened his eyes. If one can look closely enough, the relief in Spock's eyes was quite prominent. He slowly, very carefully moved Jim to lie him down on his back on the floor.
"I am sorry Spock. But I had to."...Jim pauses to catch a breath.
"Jim, I understand" he takes Jim's left hand into his. "You deliberately did that and that was a dazzling display of logic, my captain"
"None of those words are real. It can never be. I am so so sohr-ry.......I..can't....breathe Spock!"
Spock realised in a second that Jim was having a panic attack.
"Jim! Look at me!" Spock held him close
"Captain try to focus on your breathing. Follow me as I say.....in...out...in....out..."
Jim tried his best to keep eye contact with Spock. All those years of extreme training, even all the shitty situations he and his crew had faced in recent past....and THIS is the very first time he is having a panic attack. Scared the hell out of him. And it was quite visible on his face.
As the situation got slightly under control...Jim was breathing normally but still shivering, Spock lifted him up again and held him tightly into his arms.
"Those words...Spock..I..."
Apparently he was fixated on those words and was facing an uncontrollable guilt, although it was the only reasonable action at the particular moment....bt it's... it's Spock. And it was just as painful to Jim as it was to Spock.
Spock didn't let Jim finish his sentence. He held Jim's face into his palms and placed a very soft, warm and passionate kiss on his lips.
...
A few moments later, as the symptoms of that panic attack with an aweful sense of timing, faded away, Captain Kirk stood up on his feet, rigged a plan with Spock and they executed it in a very smooth Spirkly way. All the affected crew including McCoy was cured from the effects of the spores. McCoy started treating Kirk at sickbay as soon as he was transported back on the ship. Kirk told him everything later, on listening to which McCoy had the best laugh in his life. Of course Jim had skipped a part about a kiss..very human.

cotton candy clouds in a wellwater sunset
In the last good conversation we had, I sent you a picture of the sunset
“Look how pretty the sky is” 
The sun wasn’t bleeding out, it was dissolving into the clouds;
Lacing pink and purple into the air,
Weaving itself into the atmosphere, 
A tapestry of light forsaken. 
A cotton candy sky, in a deep blue paradise, in a carnival moonrise. 
I caught a star in a duck pond, and you won a cloud in a pinball game. 
We saw the sun disappear into the wishing well horizon, 
And I wished for everything to go back to normal, 
Before the circus came to town, 
Before we never said goodnight before midnight, 
Before the ring of fools camped in our hearts;
Where we were happy, 
Laughing with each other instead of seeing clownery in the mirror. 
I said, “I love you to the stars and back,” 
Words traced along a cotton candy mouth, 
With cotton candy eyes, 
Seeing the fragile sweetness spinning in my gaze, 
Weaving hopelessly hopeful lies out of sugar. 
The lies where I met you and you gave me cotton candy, 
That night where I thought we could be friends, 
Where we laughed at inside jokes we just made, 
And you looked at me with a cotton candy gaze, 
The look that didn’t leave for two years, 
The look that told me “I love you to the moon and back.” 
We spoke with sugar coated words, 
color-coded turns of phrase, 
You told me I was your best friend. 
I thought of you with a cotton candy mind, 
Airborne sweetness taking flight and dissolving in your mouth, 
Leaving an aftertaste of nothing and sugar. 
You hugged me with cotton candy arms, 
Saw me with a cotton candy gaze, 
Covered me in a cotton candy haze, 
Loved me in a cotton candy daze;
My heart was filled with cotton candy, and I gave you some, 
Leaving an aftertaste of sugar and nothing, 
And I told you everything;
From everything to nothing, 
From sugary to sweet,
From sweet to salt-rimmed intoxicating liquor from the heart,
The kind of drunken seawater that doesn’t know my name.

KURT.
introduction: mutant, son of mystique and destiny, member of the superhero team called x-men (and, formerly, excalibur), kurt wagner (aka nightcrawler) was raised in the bavarian alps by a romani sorceress. not formally adopted by her, kurt spent most of his early life in a circus, where his "devilish" appearance was accepted instead of feared and mistrusted. there he displayed a natural talent for acrobatics and soon became the circus' star aerial artist. after a fateful incident involving the owner of the circus and a mob of men, kurt used his powers for the first time in order to escape, teleporting away from danger. when kurt was 20 years old, charles xavier rescued him from yet again another mob and offered him a place in the x-men.
25-30 y / o. what looks to be blue skin is actually a soft layer of fur covering his entire body and that, along with his tail and shining golden eyes with no pupils, definitely makes him stand out. he also has pointed ears and sharper than normal canines, akin to fangs. despite his average height (175 cm) and lithe frame, kurt sports solid muscles in his back, arms and tighs and his spine is extremely flexible.
notes. i've read some of the comics involving him, but not nearly all of them and god knows trying to keep up with marvel comics is out of my league. due to this i will keep his most relevant story beats while adapting the rest to fit with rp partners and personal headcanons.

(iii) can speak and understand various languages, but he still has a distinct german accent. (iv) he has only three digits for each hand and two toes for each foot.

default. as a successful and beloved superhero, kurt has finally found somewhere he belongs and people he can consider family, until he tragically dies to ensure the survival of the mutant race. in the afterlife, kurt encounters his presumed father azazel. after stopping his nefarious plans to attack paradise (with the help of his fellow x-men), he uses his own blood magic to bind him to earth, cutting him off from his armies. that allows kurt to go back to the world of the living. at a steep price: leaving his soul behind. dying and coming back to life takes a heavy toll on him and, save dire circumstances where his help is needed, he distances himself from the hero life. as a result, however, he starts to dabble in the occult more often, navigating the supernatural netherworld.
vigilante. when mutant kind's peace and very existence is shattered, leaving most of them lost and presumed dead, he is brainwashed by the anti mutant organization orchis and forced to publicly kill three heads of state, tainting mutant reputation against his will. disillusioned by these events and the costant warring between mutants and humans, kurt leaves behind his identity and dons one of spiderman's discarded suits to become the vigilante spinnenman (people seem to prefer calling him in more creative ways, such as.. hellcrawler and spidemon). he also reunites with one of his mothers (mystique) and learns the truth about the circumstances that led him to be raised by another woman in bavaria.

DreamWeaver (An Example of Literary Nonsense at the Circus)
We wear the mask that grins and lies
And live in a world of our dreams
We have been here for a while now
Dreams slowly fading away
These smiles are plastered on to greet travelers
In a place that was once home
People don’t come as much
As they lose the magic of youth
Red and rusty rides wait for revival
As guest gather around a tearing striped tent
A faded red and white covering
Held together by desperation and a pinch of magic
Like a puppet we stand on the stage
Let's put on a show tonight
Following the orders of a ring master
That was never really there
A paradise of our imagination
Has become this decaying world of our dreams
The cracked brick roads sprout pale green weeds
And sharp vines coat the buildings walls
Living here in a dream
No longer brings you interest
For you have become blinded by reality
At the words that seemed to dance in the air
When I am here alone
I laugh crazily with no answers
Watch the buildings collapse and fall apart
Will you leave me here too?
Perhaps if we peel back our skin
We will reveal our dying souls
Pale, cold, and discarded
Our lifeless eyes hidden behind a mask
Beyond this world of dreams is a reality
Like a captain to his ship
There must be retribution
This place an escape from reality
Look at me through the slits of these eyes
At the humanity I have tossed away
I peel back the flesh and behold!
The truth I hid behind a grin
Carried by music we start to dance
Let's tear each other apart
Flames fall down from the sky
And this world begins to burn
We are at war again
Actors on a burning stage 
Controlled by the man in the back
Who was never really there 
We shall dance these sleepless nights away
And decay along with this place
A dream falling apart in our palms
With tears we hide behind a mask

Where Stars Shun the Spotlight
The award for the most impressive collection of dead celebrities has to go Forest Lawn Memorial Parks in Glendale and Hollywood Hills. Take a look at this roll call if you will: Spencer Tracy, Humphrey Bogart, Walt Disney, Sammy Davis Jr., Bette Davis, Larry Fine, Clark Gable . . . that’s some impressive Hollywood gathering, above or below the earth. 
Death must be a good business in Los Angeles. Forest Lawn Corporation has five complexes in different areas of the county, covering over 1,200 acres in total. The cream of the crop is definitely the park in Glendale. The grounds look as if someone took every painting of heaven that has been produced since the Middle Ages and used them as production drawings. Periodic billboard campaigns dot the southland, asking motorists to “celebrate a life” with “pre-planning” courtesy of Forest Lawn. 
The 1965 film The Loved One, written by Terry Southern, was supposed to have been a parody of the uniquely southern California-Forest Lawn style of overweeningly pastoral resting places for the dead. A walk through the grounds reveals that the film was not far from the truth. The Freedom Mausoleum is a flag-waver’s paradise, with a massive brass statue of George Washington and busts of founding fathers like Benjamin Franklin installed tastefully throughout the buildings. All around the mausoleum complex, 101 Strings-inspired version of old favorites like “Suwannee River” and “Greensleeves” play on a continuous loop through sometimes static-laced outdoor speakers. Is it comforting or just strange? Does everyone in the graveyard like this music? Can’t they at least install an iPod and leave it on shuffle? 
The biggest problem when visiting Forest Lawn is that, unlike in Hollywood Forever Cemetery, you are on your own to navigate around it. Forest Lawn silently discourages tourists and fans. Some celebrities had the courtesy to customize their commemorative plaques and markers, so as to stand out from the regular noncelebrity dead, like circus legend Clyde Beatty (cool engraving of a lion) or the original rhinestone cowboy, Nudie (designer of Nudie clothing). Unfortunately, it seems the more famous the person, the more unassuming their sites here tend to be. We did find them, though, along with local celebrities like longtime L.A. newscaster Jerry Dunphy and right-wing talk show host and father of actress Rebecca DeMornay, Walley George. There’s an A-list of classic television stars: Morey Amsterdam, Freddie Prinze (the talented one), McLean Stevenson, and Isabelle “Weezy Jefferson” Staford. 
We advise a printout from one of the many Web sites that specialize in this sort of thing. The security staff was surprised that locations of celebrity graves were commonly found on the Internet. “Those are supposed to be private” is a an oft-repeated phrase when the visitor arrives with pictures and directions fresh off some Web site. So if you go to Forest Lawn, make sure you walk with a dignified grace once you enter, because we’re serious about their being sticklers for decorum. Getting eighty-sixed from a swinging Hollywood shindig carries with it a certain cachet; being bounced from a cemetery, no matter how cool the cemetery, is pretty lame.
