Headcanons of the Skeksis having their first dance with the reader?

- SkekVar’s first dance is a ballroom dance from his youth. He’s a bit rusty, but he remembers every step. He won’t let anyone find out this happened- He doesn’t want the others to be reminded of his past kissing up to the gelflings as the ambassador, but with you? He’s happy to have some way to impress you.

- You just wanted to get Ok to stretch his legs, he’d been holed up in the library for days. He assured you he was hundreds of trine old, a few days would mean nothing, but you were persuasive and your offer for a walk was inviting. You took his hands, one thing led to another, and you were giggling and dancing like he was a skeksis much younger.

- SkekMal never knew what to do when you were upset. Yelling at you to stop being sad clearly hadn’t worked in the past and he quickly learned not to, he wasn’t one for comforting words... So as he watched you cry when you trailed off from your story of your home, he got an idea he’d hate himself and possibly you if it was made any more awkward. He grumbled and took your hand, having you stand before him. He closed the distance and you began to sway. It might have been the shock that made your homesick tears stop, or the shocking tenderness of the gesture- but you swayed, clinging to him in silence by the fire.

- SkekShod was an avid listener. He enjoyed stories, plays, songs. When you wanted to get him involved though, he almost rolled his eyes. Come on now, you know he’s no dancer. But you got him on his feet and he had to admit, it was nice being so close, holding your hands and hearing you chuckle as you gently spun him and danced.

Hello. If requests are open coud you do Skekmal, Skekvar and Skekso with strong human S/O, like she can defeat Skekvar in fight or something like this? Please

Hells YES!!

SkekMal:

Of course his most precious Trophy is as strong; she’d need to be. Strong of mind, will, and spirit. Being physically capable is an extra boon. You help in the Hunts and brawls, an extension of his own power. Just so long as you don’t surpass him as the better Hunter, SkekMal is proud of your strength; working it into a refined tool for better use.

  Skekso :

You’re strong. This could be . . . problematic. A strong landstrider is harder to break in; to control. But so long as he has you, his precious pet, under control and your abilities focused on his own goals, The Emperor is pleased. He makes sure your outfits show off your muscles and the perfect contours of your form - especially your arms. He might even get you a special armor set to match his own.

SkekVar:

He’s amazed you could beat him. He’s considered to be one of the stronger Skeksis, save The Hunter. And you managed to flip the General with such ease! He landed on his back, his breathe drawn out of him. He looks up to you and smiles softly. He’s not even mad that the others are laughing, as he normally would be. You’re the best Grunt he could ever ask for.

Hi there. I dunno if you’re still taking hc requests, but if you are, can you do NSFW skekSo x shy reader? Yandere is fine also. Thanks :)

(I am!! my apologies for not writing as much, this bean has been busy and tired from work orz )

NSFW NSFW NSFW NSFW NSFW NSFW

Breaths catch in your throat, teeth scraping along your neck, over each vital vessel that could be pierced with little effort. The adrenaline from such a simple action is overpowering, and you hold yourself back from speaking. Behind you, is your emperor, Skekso, holding you in his lap as talons run along you in the empty throne room. Each touch sends shivers up your spine, and you find it much too difficult to be quiet-

After all, anyone could come by, hear you, *See* you. This thought both frightened and aroused you, and for Skekso....

This thought excited him even more than you.

He rubs his members over your rear, purring lowly at each twitch and small noise that escapes you, icy eyes narrowed in lust and pleasure. He doesn’t speak, but you know he is enjoying the sight of you; how your back arches when his talons twitch at a nipple, fingers curling within your intimate regions-

You want to hide your face, close your legs and hide...but your emperor wants you open, wants to see every action you make, and so you resist these needs. Closer, closer to the edge you go, squirming and panting as he teases you to the cliff of abandon. You can practically hear him purr in pleasure as he brings you to the very edge-

Then, like a bowstring, you come, crying out his name with reckless abandon as your back arches against him. Waves of pleasure override your thoughts, and no longer do you worry if someone sees or hears you. Now, you are simply a single nerve ending, being teased and played as Skekso helps you ride out your orgasm.

(later, when reality returns to you and both of you are satiated and clothed, Skekvar asks him what such noise was. )

(Skekso merely chuckles as you hide yourself behind his frame as red covers your entire face)

i tried to write a SkekSo x reader fic but it turned into 3 paragraphs of the reader just punching the fucking shit out of SkekVar

[skekshroom]

Could you serve up some domestic skeksis headcanons for, so, ok, var, and lach?

oh you absolutely bet i can coming right up

[SkekVar x reader]

- You lay on his stomach, cruled up under his arm as you two lay down for the night. You ask him about what his greatest triumph was like and he hums, tapping his chin before he recounts the tale. As he talks, the general lifts his hand to the ceiling, emphasizing his words with gestures. You lift yours up too, and his words trail off as your fingers find his. He chuckles as he kisses your forehead. Battles aside, becoming yours was his greatest victory.

[SkekLach x reader]

- “Its getting worse, isn’t it?” She moans miserably as you apply cream to her freshly washed face. You hold her close, rubbing soothing circles to her neck. 

“Here, lay down, you’ve had a long day.” You say and sit by her. You rub his back, and she sighs deeply, enjoying your thumbs rubbing out the knots in her back. It distracts from the pain.

[SkekSo x reader]

“Will my emperor honor me with this dance?” You give a dramatic bow and hold out your hand. He laughs, resting his cheek in his elbow from the empty dining hall table. You two snuck to the kitchen whe he wrapped his hands around your waist as you whipped up a midnight snack. You were feeling playful tonight, he noticed, as he took your hand and you two waltzed about the room. You didn’t even care that your plate was growing cold.

[SkekOk x reader]

“Hey honey.” You kissed the scroll keeper’s forehead as you passed him, on your way to your closet to find your pajamas. He closed his book as you changed, walking back to the bed. You looked up, noticed his staring and smiled. He had a sleepy, enamored look on his face.

“You look exhausted.” You chuckle as you sit in his lap, moving his book out of the way and stroking his hair. “Come on then, to bed with you.” You murmur as you dismount to snuff the lantern and lay beside him. He’s as tired as you say- out almost the second his head is on your chest. Your heartbeat soothes him to sleep another night.

[skekshroom]

Yo, can I have some romantic head canons for the good Skeksis AU? I feel like we all need that right now, and you don’t need to do it immediately, just whenever u have time or whenever u want, thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

ok i am SO HONORED yall are interested in my Swap AU pls ask me about it.......

that being said here you go!

dating skekTek the Naturalist is guaranteeing an adventure. He’s like a blend of Charles Darwin and Coyote Peterson almost. He loves animals, loves cataloging them in his journals. He’ll take you out to the forest and introduce you to beautiful, docile breeds of bird and teach you how to call landstriders. He’s got a soft spot for bird like creatures, especially sidetic. While dating skekTek, you are most likely dating his companion skekGra the Explorer as well. You have many adventures! A date with the three of you is somewhat akin to an Indiana Jones movie. Whatever happens, it’ll be interesting.

I hope you like kids. If you’re dating skekVar the Headmaster, you’re going to have to. The head of the village orphanage and director of the school, skekVar is a busy father of many so getting his attention may be difficult at first. Be patient, and try not to mind the kids giggling up a storm when you hold his hand.

skekNa the Shepherd is a gruff farmer type. He isn’t one to beat around the bush, and appreciates it if you’re bold and direct in stating your feelings for him. Don’t worry if you’re shy. He might be a little rough around the edges, but if he can coax a foal, he can be gentle with you.... sometimes.

skekSo the Mentor is the charming soothsayer and leader of the village council, motivated and selfless. He’s busy, often found checking up on homes and cleaning around town. If you show any interest in him, he’d be deeply flattered, worried a bit that you put yourself in an awkward position courting the town’s figurehead.

[skekshroom]

I remember reading somewhere that skeksis used to hold great festivals with lot's of dancing (tbh I don't know if it was a headcanon or actually canon acsfstsfafac) BUT imagine the skeksis holding another one of those and them teaching their human!S/O how to dance. Who would be the best teacher?

Top 3: SkekVar, SkekSa, SkekTek

SkekTek would be patient, it’d be a very sweet and very cute experience. Lots of ervous chuckles and “just like that, you’re doing great”’s. He’s a good teacher, very relaxed if you’re nervous. Its very intimate.

SkekSa would be a very “throw you into the deep end” kind of teacher by default but will take it slow if needed. If you say you never learned to dance, she’ll hit you with that “no time to learn like the present” and guide you through a dance. It’s very passionate and romantic, she’d awfully charming!

SkekVar is the best and most experienced at partner/social dance this is a hill I am willing to die on. He was the ambassador for gods sake! Anyways, he’s a very thorough and patient teacher, but very motivating. Kind of a mix of the above.

[skekshroom]

Hmmm want about SkekVar, SkekUng and SkekMal being bested by a human in their sparring practice?

Oh this is absolutely my shite 

[SkekVar x reader]

The general was powerful, but you were quick. You parried his staff, he had refused to spar you with a real sword yet, and lunged. Quick, powerful strokes with the wooden epee you’d chosen from his beginner’s armory. You were on him in seconds, and pushed back just as quick. He checked you hard with his hip and sent you crashing to the floor, staff poking your throat as you rubbed your head.“You’d have been dead there.” He snorted. You got up. Alright. You can’t rush him. You had to use that speed responsibly. You parried again, but as he lunged at you, you darted to the side, punted him with the butt of the hilt, and repeated. You ricocheted around him, exploiting weak spots until you had him so focused on chasing you that you were able to swipe behind his knees and bring him down.“Impressive.” The general laughed. “But I hope that’s not your only trick.”

[SkekUng x reader]

“Again, we’re not leaving until you can get me out of this ring!” The Garthim master roared, clashing his fist against his shield. You let out a mix of a groan and a roar, rushing him one more time, throwing your shield against his and pushing him another inch or so back.“Good! Better!” SkekUng laughed raucously and threw you backwards. You grunted and was up in an instant. You always got back up. It was one of the things he liked so much about you.“Come on, keep at it! I’m losing no energy standing here, waiting for you to get back up again!” He was cut off by a solid check and a shove much stronger than the last. The warlord imagined your face behind the shield, wild and toiled, teeth gritting as the muscles in your legs tore and restitched themselves stronger. That’s when your weight left him. He was about to bark criticism, tell you how relenting would only give an enemy a chance to retaliate... But then he looked down and saw the red line in front of him. He looked back up to see you, grinning, exhausted, ethereal. 

[SkekMal x reader]

You snarled, booting your foot into his chest and throwing him off you. SkekMal was on you in a second, getting a running start on all fours and leaping at you. You two tussled wildly, bodies thrashing in the grass as the back of his hand met your nose and your teeth met his forearm. You pulled hard, throwing the hunter off balance before you suplexed him, His four arms flailed for a moment and he snarled, swiping his fist and catching your shoulder- but the hunter met the soft ground and you piled on top of him, holding down his smaller set of arms by the wrist and straddling him. SkekMal gasped, laughing as you swooped down and rolled, throwing him into the grass. He rolled like a bag of rocks and was stopped by his claws digging into the earth. The skeksis panted, laying there, exhausted and chuckling. He lifted his head once before dropping it into the grass.“Alright.” He rumbled, grinning. “You win this one.”

[skekshroom]

The general being absolute putty in readers hand. Readers a little skittish and doesn’t realise until they hug them thanks for something and he practically purrs, meal ting into a flustered puddle

for sure!

[SkekVar x reader]

- You were always hesitant touch touch him, always keeping a respectful distance. Not that you were uncomfortable around him, but he did have... sharp claws, and big teeth. Not that it was a bad thing! It was just a bit scary.

- That’s when you lose something. You were looking all over for it, scoring every inch of the castle. Looking under items on tables, behind furniture, generally being a bit of a nuisance to everyone as you searched. When the general tapped you on the shoulder, you of course jumped out of your skin.

- “Is this what you’ve been looking for?” He grunts and holds up exactly what you were looking for. Overjoyed, you shout a quick “Yes! Thank you!” and give him a hug.

- He melts on the spot at the surprising, but welcome warmth. You give a good, strong hug and he swears his heart skips for a second.

- He’s flustered immediately as you scamper off with the item you’ve been tearing up the castle to find. He clears his throat. When did he start holding his breath?

- He’s smiling afterwards, despite himself. The Chamberlain and the Scientist will probably ask what he’s so happy about. He may or may not tell them, it really depends on his last interaction with them. He will either tell them to mind their own business, or confess that yeah, he did you a solid and felt pretty good about it.

Headcanons of SkekVar dating the reader who is tomboyish, tough-as-nails, snarky, sarcastic, has a somewhat dry sense of humour, and is good at sword-fighting?

fs b

[skekvar x reader]

- He appreciates how you can keep up with him. You’re no weakling and he respects that. 

- Some of the sarcasm goes over his head, but he does like your charm. He may be a little dense at times, but he sure as hell is not immune to it!

- That isn’t to say he doesn’t get your sense of humor. The General is a big fan of the snark directed at other people, he likes to be able to laugh at people with you.

- Being good at sword fighting is a sure way to impress him. He likes to be able to impress you too though, so let him teach you a few things about other styles of fighting.

- Being tomboyish doesn’t mean much to him or any other skeksis, but regardless of what it means, he likes your style.

- Dating skekVar is going to be fun for the both of you, very pseudo-competitive. There’s gonna be a lot of showing off flirting from him and impressing him on your part. 

- He’s a sucker for flattery, so some (VERY. Please don’t mislead him lol.) thinly disguised flirting through sarcasm and jokes is welcome and piques his interest. You two end up being a pretty good couple!

[skekshroom]

SkekVar as a dad?

SkekVar is a surprisingly very good dad! He’s a bit of a hardass and sometimes feels like more of a drill sergeant than a father, but he cares a lot about his kids and has a big heart. If you carry, he loves both the skekling and the urrling, something he didn’t expect to do, but he can’t help it. If he carries, he will only meet the skekling and will adore them more than anything in this world. His loyalty is unshakable.

The skekling has a big, round face and dark mauve skin and black hair with a texture similar to yours. She has large tusks like her father and his very heavyset and tall. Like the General, she’s very sweet by nature and extroverted- less easy to rile up though but she is sensitive.

Not as sensitive as the Urrling is though. He hates confrontation and is very soft at heart with a strong sense of justice. He has a blocky, broad face and very fluffy hair with a similar color to yours. He has UrMa’s eyes almost exactly. He’s a very gentle giant.

[grievous-writes]

SkekVar x Shy!Human!Reader

EYYYY!! I tossed headcanons out the window and decided to make it a whole little story-thing. 

The General loathed you, at least at first. You were this unknown thing, a human, and he didn’t like not knowing anything about your kind. What were your weaknesses? Your strengths? Would you put up a fight if he took actions into his own hands? Yes, he wanted you dead. Dead or the very least, kept under tight control.

The Emperor was quite fascinated with how you came to Thra, treated you like a prized pet and handed over to Skektek for study. While you weren’t answering questions in a lab, you were kept either in your room or in court with the Skeksis. And SkekVar had the personal job of escorting you place to place. It worked well for his paranoia, having an eye on you when you weren’t contained. Your passive and shy nature kept you easily under control.

SkekVar didn’t speak to you for the first few days, or when he did he’d make comments they were things like “Come on, don’t fall behind, Human. Keep up!” You’d squeak slightly at his orders and he found a dark glee in your terrified noises. Oh, you were so easy to command. Good.

As the trines go by, without you causing trouble, SkekVar accepts having you around the castle a bit more. In fact, he becomes used to your presence. He watches you in court , seeing how timid you are as you are forced to stand at the Emperor's heels, and he worries that perhaps you are . . . lonely. You seem lonely, even when one of the Emperor's most unique courtiers. He’s half angered and half worried. You should be grateful for your position but . . . it wasn’t one you asked for. Or even worked for, like he had to be General. 

You are allowed to roam the castle and you find most of your time spent in the lounges or library with a good book. As the General passes by you, he always glances to see what you are reading. After a while, he notices it’s the same books over and over. He stops one day and asks in a bit to harsh of a voice. “Do you read nothing else the castle has to offer?”

“I- . . .” You meekly look down to the book cover, written in a language you barely know. “ . . . The Scroll Keeper says he doesn’t h-have the time to translate any more f-for me . . . I didn’t . . . want to bother anyone about it.”

“ . . . Hm.” SkekVar walks away at that, his steps a bit quicker. 

The next day you are greeted by an unusually eager, if not nervous, SkekOk in tow with a few more translated books for you to read. 

Falling in love with you was nowhere on SkekVar’s radar. You belonged to the Emperor, off limits to anyone else; even if the Emperor had lost interest in you long ago. He had his mind on other goals now. At court, SkekVar could see your loneliness grow, day after fay you could see how sad you were. You didn’t want to be here, at the Castle, with the Skeksis Lords.

You wanted to go home. But . . . he wanted you to think of this place as home. He wanted . . . you to be at his side rather then the Emperor’s. Before he knew it, SkekVar had fallen in love with your somber, beautiful face. There was such charm in your pouts . . . but he wondered how more brilliant you’d be if you smiled. 

Out of the blue one day, you start receiving small bouquets of flowers; left by your door or just in in your quarter's atrium. Flowers of yellow and blue and white, tied with ribbons that changed each time. You started to wear the ribbons in your hair. You never find out who sends you the lovely gifts, as SkekVar would never be one to admit he, the hardened, blood thirsty General, picked flowers. He’d be a laughing stock. 

One day, as you are walking along one of the open walkways of the castle, you cross oaths with the General. You bow in respect, as you had always done. “General SkekVar.”

“Y/N . . .” He bows his head in return and pauses as he sees one of his ribbons in your hair. He keeps a straight face as he walks away but inside, he’s a fluttering mess. 

[skekshroom]

It has been done, get it while its hot. (Tag your clan and your result/top results!) I’m a Sifa and my top results were SkekMal, SkekSa, SkekShod, and SkekLi!

[skekshroom]

as someone who changes their hair colour every week, how would the inner court skeksis react to a human changing their hair to different bright colours constantly?

!!!!!!!!!!

If its being noticed you want, rest assured that that is EXACTLY what you’re getting. Chances are, you just dye your hair for fun and for your own aesthetic choices. Chances are that concept is going to go RIGHT over the inner court’s heads.

[Reader Insert]

Among those who are rather threatened by this display would be the General, the Ritual Master, and the Scientist. SkekVar thinks you’re trying to assert some form of dominance over the court, and by proxy him and the Emperor. He actually took some time getting used to SkekEkt for this reason, and learned over time their flamboyance was a personal pursuit, not a show of power. SkekZok would assume you were floundering for attention, and scoff at the gauche and blatant attempts at it. SkekTek would be threatened outright. Yet another domineering member of the court who was making it clear they were establishing themselves as higher than him.

Surprisingly though, this is not at all the thought of SkekSo, the Emperor. He doesn’t see you as a threat in the slightest- Instead thinks you’re trying to impress him. It’s working, by the way. SkekLach is VERY attracted to you in both an “oooh shiny” way, and another. SkekEkt, you’d expect to be in the category above, but lets be real. They aren’t threatened by you. Your hair? Gorgeous, vivacious. But they have everything else picturesque, and they’re confident enough to appreciate you too. SkekAyuk thinks its lovely, but is also very confused as to how you’re able to pull it off. 

SkekSil is on the fence about it. On one hand, its a little bit shocking, but there’s also a very alluring quality to it that he can’t say he doesn’t like. 

SkekOk doesn’t notice cause he can’t fuckin see lol

[skekshroom]

I'm reading stories about the Skeksis basically adopting the human reader as a glorified pet, and I'm just thinking "Man, they think humans are like overgrown gelflings, sweet and docile, when in actuality their darkest shenaningans would put the Skeksis to shame." Imagine them learning of human history, or seeing their human go apeshit/machiavellian and just *surprised Pikachu face* (though I suspect some of them would find that VERY attractive).

ANON YOUR BRAIN IS REALLY BIG but oh this is such a risky ask bc... human history is a sensitive topic. This gets a little heavy because...... reference to real world violence of course lets be sensitive to that. Also some specific instances are taken from my life congrats you get to kin me for a day.

This is definitely an AU where the drainings dont happen bc otherwise we would have Stabbed CesarTM.

Also this is So Long oh my god

[Reader Insert]

“Crawlie isn’t that good come on.” You shook your head. “It’s the nebrie that’s the good stuff.”“No, I’ve got to agree, the glamourous taste of crawlie far surpasses that of even nebrie.” SkekOk chimed in. The other skeksis laughed triumphantly.“Et tu brute?” You frowned in mock offense. SkekOk, along with the others gave you a confused look.“Now what does that one mean?” They were used to you spouting odd earth sayings, but this was new.“Oh, it means ‘even you, Brutus?’. So like, there was this giant empire and one of the rulers, a senator, sucked so while he was getting publicly stabbed to death by his fellow senators, his friend Brutus was among them so he said ‘even you?’. Sometimes humans say it ironically when their friends don’t back them up on things.”

SkekSil and SkekOk exchanged horrified glances, as well as with Ekt, So and VAr.“What?”“How barbaric for a human! They’d kill one of their own!?” Now it was your turn to be dumbfounded.“Um... Yes? That’s not even the worst thing humanity has done, are you kidding?” You shifted your postured towards them, watching them lean in with piqued interest.

 “I mean, I was born in the beginning of a war, its literally all I’ve ever known. My friends and family have went to go fight wars, some never came back. I don’t agree with it at all, neither does my immediate family, but it hasn’t always been like that. I have ancestors who used to literally bathe in human blood. We have eras dedicated to different wars, the um... The highest death toll was like, what, 70 million? A hundred million? I don’t know, but it was big but outside of history classes people don’t really acknowledge it.”

“I mean, that’s kind of why I’m so happy to be here. Everything is so simple. Back on my homeworld... Everything was dangerous, not saying its not here but, I don’t know, people dont just kill each other for no reason.” You frowned. “I don’t miss the threats I got from people who said they’d kill me for the way I looked, or who I liked or how my body was. And you guys are lucky to be here too! Shit, if you were on Earth, especially in my country, they’d strap you to a table and put your guts in a platter trying to figure out what you were. Heh, or if the gelfling were any more human they would have already put your heads on spikes- or strung you up by the throats outside the All Maudra’s palace.”

The skeksis let out horrified yelps and clutched their necks. Humans, if you were anything to go off of, were so docile! How could they!? Not even skeksis thought to do such things- and they were ruthless! The most ruthless!

“Have you...” SkekSo gulped, eyes wild with an unreadible expression. “Ever-”“Killed anyone? No! No, no of course not I’m not a monster.” You raised your eyebrows. “I mean, I’ve had to defend myself before, and it got bloody, but killing someone would be unthinkable... I just hope it doesn’t come to that on Thra.”

SkekSo: SkekSo sees you in a new light. His dainty pet is now more tiger-on-a-leash than the big declawed kitten he took you for. He wont admit it but he’s wary now. Knowing you not only have the strength but the history terrifies him. He will see the opportunities he can get to use you as a threat against others, but the threat of you using your human strength against him is haunting. 

SkekVar: Respects you much more than he did, but is astounded. How come you never told him about your species being a warrior race? You didn’t seem proud of it, but regardless, him of all people would appreciate the information. He finds you to be much more attractive than he did before, and may or may not want you to demonstrate your strength.

SkekEkt: How brutal! Thank Thra you’re one of the good ones! Humanity sounds awful- would they really dissect them!? Oh the horror! Their beautiful beautiful head on a platter! Once they’re finished making a scene over the barbarism of it all, they’ll probably fawn over you. (Y/n), I never realized how strong and fit you are!

SkekTek: He knew there was more to you than that cushy demeanor. Because of course there is. There’s always a catch. The information makes him miserable in more ways than one. First, now he cant help but feel bad for you. You were a sweet human, in no way deserved to live in that kind of world. But all animals had instinct and he wondered if yours were darker than the skeksis bargained for. His deep affection for you feels more and more forbidden. He feared more that you saw him as weak now that he knew your kind’s history of ferocity.

SkekSil: This was most unexpected, but the information came with much prospect. A strong mate was a successful one, and your kind may be dangerous and cunning, but did that mean you were?

SkekLach: Great, now she had to worry about you too? Just great. Similar to Ekt, she will probably find you more attractive knowing that you’re capable of snapping someones spinal chord.

To sum it up: mark them down as scared and horny.

(Older Anon here) I ask a long while back for some Three Suns AU/Dark Suns AU fics and you have me the Three Suns AU and said you'd write the Dark Suns AU later down the line. So I was wondering about that? It's okay if you don't have time to. Just asking if you can/want to. :)

YESYESYES THANK YOU anon you are the backbone of society i literally forgot all abt this i have chronic forgetful bitch syndrome bUT I WAS RLY LOOKING FORWARD TO WRITING THIS THANK U FOR REMINDING ME!!

(rubs grubby hands together) I’ve had half of this in my draft for MONTHS 

this is super long btw.. warnings for graphic deptictions of violence

[Reader Insert]

“This has gone too far!” SkekVar pointed an accusing claw at you. “You- you whisper lies into the Emperor’s ear- worse than the chamberlain! You say you do it to protect us but all you’ve done is steal power from us and give it to those weak gelfling! The others might be charmed by how ‘pleasant’ you make yourself seem, but I see your schemes!” The Emperor’s face twisted into a scowl and he opened his beak to reprimand SkekVar, but before he could, you cut in.

“Emperor.” You said sharply. “Permission to defend my own honor?” SkekSo hesitated, but at he looked at you and your unreadable expression he relented. He would humor you speaking your mind, and deal SkekVar a true punishment later in your absence. He knew how much violence seemed to repulse a meek creature like you from your protests of using it in any form against gelfling.

You stood up, drawing yourself to full height and strolling calmly towards the general. 

 “It is a simple rule, General. Do not mistreat the children of Thra. Really just a silly request, its not like your survival rides on it or anything,” You spoke lightly, betraying the dangerous way you circled him. “Its not like its, I don’t know, key to maintaining the balance of Thra that gelfling remain alive and untouched by skeksis hand. But no, you’re right, I am just spinning these silly stories... Its not like I provided you with an escape from death itself.” SkekSo, along with the other skeksis, watched SkekVar’s growing discomfort with increasing interest. This was certainly the harshest he’d seen you act towards a member of his court.

“Let’s get something straight here, SkekVar.” You hissed. “I can be unpleasant. But I don’t want to be, and I don’t want you being such towards Thra’s creatures. Are we clear?” You glared and despite the discomfort you felt radiating from him, he glared back. 

“You don’t scare me, witch.” He growled. You stood up straight. The Emperor gripped his throne, bracing himself to stand and intervene. Insulting his prize was too far, SkekVar would be punished for his insolence.

“We should change that.” You whispered flatly.

A loud crack rang out. SkekSo’s eyes widened, and he gripped the armrests of his throne.

The Emperor had forgotten how much more agile your kind was, and unfortunately for SkekVar, so had he. The open palm strike the the side of his skull knocked him off balance before he was struck again with your elbow and knocked forward. As he stumbled you caught up and drove your knee into the skeksis’ gut. He gave a dreadful wheeze and swiped to retaliate.

“I speak for the gelfling when I say you are sworn to protect Thra,” You snarled, grabbing him by the shoulders and shoving him down. “I speak for everything on this miserable rock when I say it is your duty to protect Thra.” SkekSo’s gaze flickered from you to the rest of the court who watched in a mixture of shock, horror, and fascination at what was taking place.

“I did not bring you a substitute crystal- I did not bring you what would prevent war and your extinction- only for you to ruin it all with your stubbornness!” You let SkekVar go, taking several steps back. He caught his breath terribly, clutching at himself. He attempted to fight back.

“Yield.” You commanded. It only seemed to enrage him as he groped the air fruitlessly, drawing his sword. He looked up to not see you backing off... but instead getting a start. With one final, powerful kick you brought the General down, sending his weapon clattering across the floor.

“YIELD, DAMN IT!” You all but screamed, digging your heel into his eye. He squawked out his surrender through bloodied teeth and you relented. Not before grabbing him by the throat as he gathered himself. 

“When I promied you life I warned you filthy vultures what would happen if you went back on your word.” You squeezed, blood spraying across your face as the General coughed. “Harm another gelfling and I’ll be forced to go back on mine.”
