Hiii :D For the Fanfic Writer Emoji Ask I have multiple questions, is that okay? *asks them anyway* 🌞 Do you have a preferred time of day to write? 💖 What made you start writing? 👀 Tell me about an up and coming wip please!
Hi Flower ❁ Thank you for asking not one but THREE questions?! :D
🌞 Do you have a preferred time of day to write?
By instinct I would have said during the day but that's because I differentiate writing the rough draft and then really writing it.
The rough draft tend to be on the evening and it's almost theatre in the way it's written. It's mainly dialogues or actions done by the characters, there's plot hole, sometime it's just an idea I thought of. I'll spent majority of the time just listening to music (predictable I know...ahah) and letting my mind drift to whatever comes to my mind.
Then I have the real writing. This one I prefer to do during the day, where I'm awake and full of energy. I'll go over what I drafted and add the substance to it. It's usually where the thing just explodes in terms of word count... I can easily triple or quadruple the size of a draft in the writing time... x)
My phone says that I'm on my note app on average 2h per day, all throughout the day. I try my best to always proof-read, organise, slightly improve what my WIPs when I have empty time (bus ride, waiting for someone, etc...). It's not necessarily an activity worked on WIP, just any random one I'm inspired by at the moment.
💖 What made you start writing?
I always loved creative writing in school, even if the teachers were always confused by the stuff I was writing x) The year we studied Fantastic Literature was my year :D My writing got quite dark at one point during my teenage year and I had to completely stop for personal reasons.
I started again in 2024 randomly after talking to some people about HP and how the plot is objectively rubbish. I wrote a whole AU fic on Severus and what he does during his summer holidays, exploring the magic behind unbreakable vows, how he got groomed at 17 and giving him a mysterious muggle boyfriend :') (the thing is very self indulgent and will most probably never see something else than my WIP folder) Gosh it even feels weird to talk about it here xD
Eventually I watched Rebels and fell deep deep in the Kalluzeb fandom, I started to write again and my now ex-wife convinced me to post the small one-shot I had written for New Year. The rest is history, my ego exploded at the responses (kidding, I was stressed like hell and for once in my life I am experimenting impostor syndrome and still don't understand why people read what I write ahah) so I started to post other things.
👀 Tell me about an up and coming wip
I am almost tempted to not talk about the current WIP called "Tumblr Drabble" that we discussed previously just to punish you for the current 5k mess you encouraged x)
But I am weak so I'll talk about it...
My current WIP started after this post here from @a-corndog-named-schibbs (hi Hello :D sorry I brought you here but I have been spending too much time on this so it's also your fault).
The background is a 'what if Lasats had common traits with Bonobo' and Zeb asking Kallus on Barhyn to have sex to resolve their tension. Only Kallus comes to Zeb on Yavin IV months laters and ask if they maybe could try because even if Kallus is now a rebel, they still have strong beef and it's causing issues.
That's it, that's the plot x) I had an idea of Kallus being really submissive in bed and asking Zeb if he could cum and Zeb being really stressed because he had never lead in bed so he has no clue why Kallus is just being what looks like a stubborn pillow princess.
Only problem is that I started writing it, from the moment they enter the bedroom and after 2k words they were finally in bed naked :') Still I wrote the sex scene because that's why I started it and still had my idea. The thing reached 3.5k words. But then, terrible, I had an idea of after care. I told myself: Patate, don't write it, the whole thing must be a mess because at no point did you look back on what you wrote and you have another project more important!!
And then I talked to you and you told me to write the after care x) so now it's 5k and I am not done yet.
I'm almost tempted to publish the thing without even reading back what I wrote once because I don't want to know what my brain produced in the small free time I had whilst moving countries... :')

⭒ㅤnot gonna lie !
Tumblr media Tumblr media
premise. pov prefect opens a ngl, except! the story they shared it from can only be viewed... by one person!
characters. first years
Tumblr media
ace
not gonna lie ! smash tbh
unironically pretends that he never sent one when you start bombarding him.
uniquewhere: i didn't even see ur story
shrimp: [attatchment]
uniquewhere: i have no wifi to see that sorry not sorry
vehement denial is actually the most effective defense according to him. even if it bypasses all forms of realism, it's not real if he doesn't believe it to be! <- real life advice from ace trappola guys.
if you haven’t already guessed, he can indeed see the picture you just sent and just assumes his very first form of defense… no amount of proof will remove him from his little ball of: “i don’t know what you’re talking about.”
you gotta prepare some kind of miscrosoft presentation, and sit him down. though he will 100% do that thing where he plugs his ears in with his fingers pretending he doesn’t hear anything even though it doesn’t block out you reading out the words.
“here is the real, actual screenshot of my replies—”
“I NEVER EVEN SAW YOUR STORY.”
“ah, good! next slide after this is the views of the story!”
deuce
not gonna lie ! i like you
very demure, very straight to the point is deuce.
he would've written some long ass paragraph in all honesty but he just can't because he sees what he writes, deletes it, then cringes to himself.
atleast with that one he has the excuse for whichever scenario that might randomly ask about it.. (yes, he's thinking that far) weird flex but ok
1. "you ever confessed to your crush?" someone asking
2. "yeah sorta....." deuce
3. "???" someone confused
he was feeling reaaallyyy proud of himself. the anxiousness finally settles down, alongside with his rapidly beating heart. even if it isn't a real, confession it still brings him a bit of peace.
shrimp: I know what you did
tokyodefenders: WHAT?
there goes his heart rate.
like, you did not offer context to any of that but he's still gonna think you somehow, actually do know even if you didn't provide an explanation to... whatever it is you know about him!
tokyodefenders: whaTEVER IT IS IS NKT TRUE
shrimp: please, ur breaking my heart
shrimp: I like u too :(
heart? ascended
he's not even gonna question it. all his braincells got dumped out, and all he can focus on is that particular message. he isn't even gonna remember backtracking about the ngl cause he's gonna be like:
how did they hack my keyboard.. are they tracking it?! LOL
"I'm a mastermind,"
"HOW DID YOU KNOW?!?!" <- deuce, scared for his life.
jack
not gonna lie ! stop getting into trouble. I'm not always there to pull you out
is concerned with how many times you've managed to unknowingly walk into trouble, jack had been lucky enough (yes, him. not you, cause knowing you, you wouldn't be too phased) to be a near constant presence when the shenanigans during the tournament concluded, he stuck to you then.
as in reluctantly following around you like a tail. narrowing his eyes at the less than friendly faces often wore around you, that you were... well, amazingly oblivious to. or maybe you acted like you didn't know, the carriage didn't pick you up for nothing if you were here in nrc.
shrimp: do u rlly think I'm a troublemaker?
iheldheroncejacob: yes
the random topic being brought up went completely over his head. jack probably had forgotten he'd given the link to your story the time of your day, in all honesty
shrimp: well maybe I keep getting in trouble so u can rush in, and pull me out?
iheldheroncejacob: you're a terrible friend then
shrimp: :(
in retrospect jack is able to keep up with joking around, usually. but it's so hard to take you seriously that he takes whatever you say with a grain of salt, you're almost always tipping between flat sarcasm, or calm nonchalance between your words. it almost always has something to do with the people you're with.
the heartslabyul prefect for example, you take a kind, subtle undertone of teasing to (which is crazy, because you're scarily tame in the presence of the vice-dorm head.) and then you're all stony faced when you're with someone you don't like.
^ and you obviously don't dislike jack, if the little selfish, presumptuous nrc part of him would like to claim confidently so... would you really be joking?
only does jack realize the connection between your text, and the ask he sent when he's just finished his laps.
"I'm not your guard dog! why would you even get in trouble for that, next time I'm not even gonna spare you the time cause—"
"what a pee brain."
"what? don't compare my brain to a tiny pee—"
epel
not gonna lie ! CAN I PLS TRANSFER TO RAMSHACKLE AHHHH
you've never met anyone who's disliked being sorted into whatever the dark mirror fitted their 'soul' into as much as epel.
even without the private story only limited to his response, you're sure you could pick out his message and put a face to it.
epel, in his defense, still has savanaclaw as number one in his heart. though upon asking jack if it was possible to transfer there, the latter confirmed but it was... a tedious process, and suggested asking rook, who literally came from savanaclaw!
the boy only spared his friend a side glance before scurrying away. no use traipsing around that...
but of course, getting away from pomefiore is only a goal! always being near your proximity was a biiiiig bonus!
shrimp: hey I need ur files for the dorm transfer
catchwhathands: [escapeplan.jpg]
catchwhathands: I knew u wanted me in ur dorm!!
shrimp: actually I don't. ur the one that asked ;)
catchwhathands: who cares. I'm finally getting out of this hell YEAHHHH!!
shrimp: who said I was gonna use the files you sent?
okay, admittedly the moment he'd sent over the files, epel shut his phone, and quite literally did a victory lap around his room. making sure to frolic so vil has less chances of hearing his chaos...
the dorm leader woke up so easily from noises that you'd think rook was the reason he developed such a habit.
probably.
epel was already planning the plan! he could see the vision! maybe he could plant around ramshackle since it is a pretty big area. you guys would be together for the remainder of the year—and he'd finally bump the adeuce duo from their pedestal!
*ping*
"AGHHHHH STUPID FRIGGIN'—"
"epel!"
"sorry..."
sebek
not gonna lie ! since it is a request for unbridled honesty, I shall deliver what you've requested. you have done so without much thought, clearly! if you've given such leeway for... criticism! you, human, could use a lot more educating in terms of the glory of our eternal lord, the glorious malleus! in accordance to your previous, description of our relationship. the farthest I can give is acquaintance, but I shall only call you a companion (AKA friend) if you are atleast educated about my interests! as the good companion you desire to be!
woo, alright. he really wrote all that...
oh, uh oh.. you just got another ask from him, maybe even longer..?
shrimp: what would that make silver then
rizzvolt: my brother in arms!
shrimp: but hey, actually I do want to know
rizzvolt: ah! finally! I knew you atleast have some common decency, and sense. for that I shall agree for your request in our friendship! these are the most accurate ones pertaining the great lord malleus' biography! [link] [link] [link]
rizzvolt: is that enough? I will send you more, but only if you finish these three. I will test you rigorously to confirm that you are indeed genuine in your interest!
why he has all that, you have no idea.. if only he displayed that much dedication for his studies...
shrimp: I don't wanna learn about malleus
shrimp: I want to learn about you
rizzley: how dare you! the lord's name should only be addressed with a: 'lord', 'the great', 'the
...
sebek stares at his screen, just in the process of finishing his... educating sentence, because even in text, malleus should only be treated with the highest form of respect!
have you no integrity?! he wonders.
only then does he focus on your response, does he make a rather... dubious sound of shock? sebek doesn't know why he breaks into a cold sweat as he runs the sentence through his mind a hundred times in the span of a minute.
what is this... some sort of human illness? or maybe love—
of course he'd never even consider such a thing! (just did bro)
shrimp: sooo.. since you sent me an ask, does that mean you actually like me?
shrimp: sebeeeeekk.. did you actually read?
with the speed of lightning (and the adrenaline maybe, what else could this frantic pounding of his chest explain besides that you are indeed, dangerous!) he opens the story on your media
'send me an ask if you like meeee :)'
sebek promptly falls over.

AH HI!! so... i love the way you write ditzy!reader, and especially with steve idk it just warms my heart yk? The way they interact 😭 it's so lovely
Since I'm an angsty girly at heart, I thought about a situation where steve gets a teeny tiny bit frustrated with ditzy!reader, but it's just seconds, even less than that but it's enough to make her upset for making him upset but also a super fluffy moment between both of them and steve being mesmerized by her and just so much in love
ahh thank u lovie! pls enjoy!! — steve gets frustrated with his sensitive gf and makes up with her accordingly (hurt/comfort, established relationship, 2.7k)
fictober (㇏(•̀ᵥᵥ•́)ノ)
You keep Steve company during the last half of his shift like you always do. 
He’s grumpier than usual, though — all pouty and visibly brooding. 
You plop yourself on the front counter of Family Video and ask him what’s wrong, and he tells you that the day’s been hell and he’s just tired. There is no “but I feel better now” like there usually is when he’s upset but doesn’t want you to think it’s your fault. 
The “because you’re here” is typically implied. 
Not so much now.
You’re having the complete opposite day of your sulking boyfriend. Yours had been dreadfully boring, or at least you say it had been, but you find a million different things to tell him. You’re too excited after having spent so many hours without him, like a dog with a wagging tail. You’ve got the zoomies of the mouth, if you could even call it that.
“—And then I saw the cutest dog on the way over here. His name was Cappy, and he was huge, and the owner was so nice. He even let me pet him, and he literally felt like a cloud— the dog, not the owner.”
Steve is used to this. The whole rambling about nothing thing. He loves it about you, actually. It took him ages to coax you out of that shell after your asshole ex told you that you talked too much, convinced you that no one cared about what you had to say.
You’re more comfortable now, and Steve loves that you are, but right now he just can’t concentrate.
Keith’s been on his ass about inventory all day, and he just learned how to do it on the old, bulky computer this morning — but only after Robin made him an hour late to his shift. Everything’s just too much now. He’s overwhelmed to the point of spontaneous combustion. 
For the first time ever, you’re not helping.
“—And, like, I know when we move into our apartment, we’re technically not allowed to have pets, but like… What about a fish? Or a turtle?” you wonder aloud but don’t stop to let him answer. Sitting on the edge of the counter, you kick your feet and flit your eyes to the spotted ceiling. “What if I start feeding the deer in the woods, and they just start showing up at our backdoor? ‘Cause technically—”
“Babe, please,” Steve snaps suddenly when your sneaker knocks his chair. He’s buzzing with anger, and even though it’s not because of you, he doesn’t know where else to put it.
Your eyes go wide at the newfound bite in his tone. He’s not shouting at you, but it makes your heart stop like he is. You feel like a kid again, getting scolded for being “too much.”
“…What?” you squeak.
Steve sighs. A deep, heavy sigh. It doesn’t remove the leaden weight from his chest, though. 
“I’m… I’m really trying to concentrate here, and you’re just— you’re making it really hard,” he tells you through gritted teeth, trying hard to keep his composure.
You deflate like a popped balloon. “Oh…”
He can hear the waver in your tone, the way your voice sounds wet with unshed tears. But he’s too overwhelmed — internally raging and selfish with it. His sweltering temper makes his woe feel more important than yours.
“Yeah, so… Can you just— go bother someone else for, like, five minutes?” he asks, fists clenched on either side of the clunky keyboard, his gaze concentrated on the pixelated screen. “Robin’s probably sulking in a corner somewhere. Go find her.”
Your face crumbles like a balled-up piece of paper. Your chest gets all tight, and your eyes start to burn when tears gather behind them.
You’d always been a flower of melodrama — blooming eternally and constantly sensitive. So when Steve cut you off as you fantasized about a family of deer living in the backyard of an apartment you were supposed to share together, it felt like a knife in your chest. 
The irrational thought that he no longer wanted any of that with you was fleeting and vivid and burning. Irrational, still.
But now you’re annoying him. He’s told you as much, with an unusual harshness he’s never spat at you before. And now your fears feel much more real.
“I’m bothering you?” you ask him, barely intelligible through the whimper in your throat.
Steve huffs again. His elbows thunk against the desk when he puts his head in his palms, swiping his fingers through his hair like he always does when he’s antsy. 
“I just really need to get this done,” he tells you, softer now. He makes himself mad all over again, though, and gets sharper once more. “I need to finish this before I get fired, and then we have no apartment to move into because we have no money, alright?”
There it is. The root of all his anger. A lingering feeling of inadequacy. 
He wants a life with you, but all he’s got is a measly Family Video salary — which he’s lucky to have apparently, because he can’t seem to do anything right. It stirs like a fire in the pit of his stomach.
After another deep breath, he finally turns to look up at you. His honey eyes are wet and stern. The chiseled edges of his features are sharp. Gently, he pleads. “I really need to work here, babe.”
You nod, understanding and internally weeping. “Okay. I’m— I’m sorry, I was just— I’ve been missing you all day, and I got too excited, I think,” you confess, wringing your clammy hands in your lap like a scolded child.
“Don’t apologize,” Steve says with a huff, leaning back against the squeaking swivel chair. It’s old and has lost all its cushion. His stiff back aches all the more. There’s no relief, to any of it. 
He sits back up again and puts his unsure hands back on the keyboard. “Just— Just go, okay? Let me finish this.”
He leaves little room for argument.
You wouldn’t, though, even if you wanted to. Which you do. You’re just not strong enough.
—————
Steve tells you to go, but you end up in the kiddie corner across the store. 
Mr. Rogers puts on a bright red cardigan and sings a tune that makes you feel like crying. You sit on the color-blocked carpet, surrounded by block toys, and clutch a stuffed bunny to your chest. You can’t tell if the vintage VHS is making the screen blurry or if it’s the tears gathering heavy at your waterline.
Robin walks by you, does a double-take, and immediately reports to Steve.
“What did you do?” she interrogates with narrowed eyes, strolling up to the counter with a cart full of tapes to put away.
The hearty tap, tap, taping of the keyboard fills the silence. 
Steve doesn’t look at her until he’s finished up the last of his work. Only when it’s fully and finally complete does his hardened gaze dart to her. “What are you talking about?”
“Your girlfriend. She’s upset.”
“What do you mean she’s upset?”
Robin rolls her eyes at his obliviousness. “I don’t know. She’s singing the Mister Roger’s theme song and, like, crying. It’s weird.”
Steve’s brows pinch. His heart does, too. “Crying?”
“Well— not crying, exactly. It’s this really weird blubbering thing.” She fails to explain it so she tries to imitate it. A sobbing, sniffling sort of noise. She fails at that, too. Her scrunched face goes back to normal. “Like that.”
Deadpanned, Steve nods. “Wow, Robin. That was really helpful. Thank you.”
“Just go comfort your girlfriend, dingus.”
Steve still thinks she’s joking. Robin doesn’t lie, but she does have a tendency to overemphasize the mundane. 
He goes to see you anyway, though, and doesn’t think twice about any of it — about what Robin said or what he had said to you before that.
He finds you in the kid’s section, in front of the tiny television, surrounded by brightly colored toys. He smiles at the sight of you, exhaling a sharp laugh through his nose.
“What are you doing all the way over here, huh?” he questions to announce his arrival, which you seemingly hadn’t noticed. “This area is usually for kids, ya know? Well, kids and Dustin Henderson.”
He doesn’t sound as annoyed with you anymore. You’re grateful for that much, but you still feel a bit sick about the whole thing.
Your nervous hands pick the cotton of the fuzzy bunny in your arms. You keep your gaze on the television in front of you, but you aren’t really watching it anymore. “I used to watch this stuff a lot growing up. The nostalgia sorta makes me wanna puke. But, like, in a good way.”
Steve scoffs. “Well, maybe we should turn it off then, ‘cause if I have to clean up vomit after the day I’ve had, I might actually go insane.”
He’s kidding. Mostly. The universe tends to be cruel like that, but he’d clean up all your messes a thousand times over if he had to.
He laughs at his own joke as he crouches to sit down next to you. He bends his knees, props his arms on top of them, and looks over at you. You don’t crack a smile for him, which is weird because you always laugh at his jokes. Even the ones that aren’t funny. Especially the ones that aren’t funny.
His smile ebbs to a wavering half-smirk as he knocks his shoulder with yours. “You okay?”
You think for a moment, jutting your lips out, unblinking at the television screen. “No,” you answer after a few seconds of silence. “But I’ll get over it. I think.”
Your honesty makes his heart wrench — like you’ve wrapped both your tiny hands around the beating organ and squeezed. It knocks the breath out of his lungs, a fish so ruthlessly pulled from the water. He tries to speak through the sudden lack of air. “Wh—What happened? Was it… Did I do something? Did you—”
“No,” you cut off his stammering with a firm shake of your head. “I did something.”
“Oh,” is all he says, pink lips pouting and wide eyes darting. “What does… What does that mean? Did you, like, step on a rogue VHS or something? ‘Cause I do that all the time, and technically, that’s Rob’s fault for leaving them out, so—”
You shake your head again, digging your nails into the delicate cotton of the well-loved stuffy in your arms. “No. I was just— I was botheringyou, and now I feel bad,” you confess, all quiet like a meek child who’s learning what it means to be sorry.
Steve — your oh, so oblivious one — goes aflame with embarrassment. He’d been too clouded by his own anger to recognize the venom spilling from his mouth; to understand that it would inevitably hurt you.
With chiseled features twisted in confusion, he shakes his head and stammers. “What? No! You weren’t— You weren’t bothering me!”
You turn to look at him, for the first time since he sat down beside you. Your eyes are glassy and swimming with hurt. You try to keep your trembling features stoic. You don’t want to seem as hurt by it all as you really are. 
You feel like you should, anyway. What right do you have to be sad when you were the one being a bother?
“You said I was,” you remind him, still soft but sterner now. “You told me to go bother someone else—”
“Oh, babe…” Steve says, deflating just as you had. 
He knows how sensitive you are, how deeply you feel things. You’re vulnerable, raw — it makes everything feel more personal than it really is. It makes grumpy jabs from your dumbass boyfriend hurt like a lemon on a weeping wound.
He tries to apologize, knowing that he hurt you and that it’s not up to him to decide that he didn’t. 
“I wasn’t… I didn’t mean to, babe,” he murmurs, swiping a tense hand through his hair and then gesticulating wildly with it. “I was just being a dick, you know? I’ve been super stressed all day and—”
“Don’t apologize. I was being annoying.”
Steve blinks at you with wide, wet eyes — like you’ve hurt him by talking so cruelly about yourself. 
“Baby, no. No,” he urges, ducking down to meet your gaze when you look away from him. “I’m just an idiot, okay? I put off inventory until the last second, and Keith’s been on my ass all day about it, and I just— I took that out on you, and that’s not fair, and I’m sorry.”
You shake your head, pursing your bitten lips to the side and twisting the long ear of the bunny between your fingers. “It’s not your fault, Steve…” you murmur, almost inaudibly.
He scoffs. It sounds like a bitter laugh. “Well, actually, it kinda is.”
“I just… I don’t really understand what’s going on sometimes. Or, like, a lot of the time,” you admit with a distracted gaze, eyes flitting everywhere but to the boy beside you. You’re too ashamed to look at him now. “And it’s harder for me to know when I’m talking too much, you know? Or if I’m being super annoying.”
“I know…” Steve nods, trying his best to be sympathetic of you. He loves how soft you are — too much to understand you completely. He loves how gently you treat the rest of the world, how unusually giddy you get in your gentleness. 
You swallow through a tightening throat and shrug to pretend your world doesn’t feel like it’s crumbling around you. “And I don’t care about annoying other people— well, I do, but it’s different with you, you know? Other people can’t break up with me for being too much.”
“The idiot that told you you were too much had exactly zero personality,” Steve tells you, mostly because he means it but also to see you smile. 
You do, just barely. A grin so soft only someone deathly in love with you could see. 
“You’re never annoying me, okay? Ever. I love hearing you talk. I love having you around.”
“Yeah?” you ask him, blinking back burning tears.
“Hell yeah! You’re, like, the best part of my day! The only good part of my day, now that I think about it.”
Biting back a grin, you tease, “Well, what about Robin?”
“Robin made me late today, so we’re kinda not friends right now.”
“That’s mean,” you scold despite the growing smile on your face.
Steve shrugs. “We’ll make up before I clock out. No big deal.”
You go suddenly shy, smiling sheepish and tilting your chin to your chest to peek at him through your lashes. “Are we gonna make up before you clock out?” you wonder quietly.
“Only if you’re willing to forgive me for being an insufferable douchebag,” Steve answers, only half-joking. He very seldomly feels worthy of your softness.
You look at him with it, anyway. 
Full on beaming now, you reach across the short distance to wrap him in a firm embrace. The position is only slightly awkward. Sitting side by side with your asses on the hard carpet, your arms wound tightly around his neck — a bit like a snake smothering its prey. 
Steve feels grateful to be held so ardently. 
His nose smushes into your neck. The sweet scent of your perfume entwines with the warm scent of your sweater. He smiles into your shoulder when it makes you giggle. You pull back from him then, just to steal a quick peck a moment later. Your lips smack audibly against his grin.
“Can we make out before you clock out?” you lilt with a shy smirk.
“…That is the single best idea I’ve heard all day.”
Your giggle fills the empty store when Steve rises suddenly and pulls you with him. He leads you toward the back, tugging you by the hand down the short corridor and rambling all the way. “Keith left for the day, so his office is empty, which means it’s fair game—”
“I am not making out with you in Keith’s office!”
“But his desk chair is crazy comfortable, and also, he’s a dick, so… who cares?”

Jason wakes up in the middle of the night and you're not there.
🌙 Pairing: Jason Todd x Reader (gn)
🌙 Genres/AUs: Fluff, (emotional) hurt/comfort, established relationship
🌙 Warning(s): mention of kidnapping
🌙 Word Count: 1.1k
🌙 Author's Note: I have so many Jason Todd fic ideas 😵‍💫 For now, I decided to just write this. I normally don't post such short fics, but I want to get used to doing so. Sometimes I just wanna write without thinking of intensive plots 😪 That being said, please enjoy this little fluff piece! Sometimes, we just need some fluff in our lives. Also, this is my first Jason fic after a few years so… 😬 (im a lil nervous)
masterlist
Tumblr media
When Jason turns to his other side to pull you against him, his eyes fly open.
Your side of the bed is empty.
And cold.
Which means it’s been a while since you left.
You left.
Did you leave or did someone take you?
Jason’s distressed eyes scan the bedroom. There’s no sign of a struggle. Plus, he would at least hope he’d wake up to the commotion if something like that happened.
But if you didn’t get kidnapped, where did you go?
Worry fills his chest and his heart pumps faster at the influx of questions in his head.
All the doubt about whether he’s making you happy clouds his mind. Had he said something yesterday that had upset you? Are you not happy with him anymore? Did someone better come into your life?
Jason groans and rakes his hands through his hair, tugging roughly at the ends to feel something other than uneasiness.
His hands fall to his sides when he sees your belongings at your vanity.
That’s a good sign, right? Maybe you didn’t leave him after all.
Jason slides off the bed and heads out of the bedroom.
“Babe?” he calls.
There’s no answer.
He wanders to the bathroom. Empty.
He goes to the living room. Empty.
Finally, he goes to your home office.
You’re sat in your chair with your headset on, fingers clacking against the keyboard.
The heavyweight he had put on his shoulders instantly lifted. He releases a breath he didn’t know he was holding.
He takes three large steps before he encloses his arms around you from behind.
You yelp, jumping and hitting your head against his jaw.
He grunts at having bit the inside of his cheek in the process.
Although your arms are glued to your sides, you tilt your head and lift a hand as high as it can go to remove your headset.
“Jay?” you question. “Did I wake you? I was trying to be quiet.”
He shakes his head and nuzzles his face against your neck more.
You lax in his arms, rubbing along his forearms and resting your head on his shoulder.
“Why are you awake then?” you wonder after a while.
“You weren’t in bed,” he mumbles.
“Sorry,” you murmur. “I forgot I had to finish something for work.”
“But it’s half past three. Can’t it wait?”
“Sadly, no,” you sigh.
Carefully, you try to pull apart his arms to free yourself. Jason refuses to let you do so.
“Baby,” you laugh softly when he holds you tighter. “Go back to sleep. I’ll be done in a bit.”
“No,” he grumbles.
Knowing he won’t give up, at least not easily, you nod. “Alright then. Should I bring in another chair for you?”
Jason shakes his head and finally lets go. He slides your chair back slightly and sinks to the floor in front of you.
Your legs part when he makes a home between them, wrapping his arms around your hips and resting his head on top of your thigh.
“Comfy?” you ask with a small smile, slightly amused.
He simply hums and closes his eyes.
Your gaze lingers on him before you focus on your work once more. You hurry more now, wanting to get back to bed with Jason.
A few minutes have passed when Jason speaks again.
“I-I thought you left me,” he whispers.
Your hands pause in their movement.
“Oh Jace,” you begin gently and place a hand against his cheek.
His eyes flutter open at your touch. His blue eyes are filled with worry and fear.
“I would never leave you.”
His eyes move between yours, trying to find a reason not to believe you. There’s that rotten side of him that tells him he doesn’t deserve to have company. That it’s inevitable for him to be alone.
“Unless you want me to,” you add.
He shakes his head aggressively. “Don’t say that.”
You smile softly at him. “Then it’s a done deal. You’re mine until the end of time.”
Jason cracks a small smile at your words, lifting his head.
“I like the sound of that,” he says.
Your grin grows. “I do too.”
Jason leans up, and you meet him halfway for a tender kiss.
“I’ve still got more to do. You want to go to bed now?” you ask once you pull away.
“Nope, I’m staying,” he replies, resting his head back on your leg.
His tone sounds lighter now, making your heart warm. Although you love all sides of Jason, this may be your favorite one.
Happy. Soft. Vulnerable.
After forty more minutes, you finally finish.
Jason has fallen asleep and has filled the room with his light snores. Some of his hair lays on his face, some of it slightly ruffled from sleeping in the bed earlier.
Cute.
You bring a hand to his hair, carding your fingers through his soft locks. You scratch at his scalp gently to wake him.
His eyes open, drooping and groggily.
“I’m done, let’s go to bed now,” you say.
He nods and slowly stands up from the floor. He sways a little on tired legs.
“Come on, sleepy head,” you tease lightly and grab his hand.
He lets you guide him back to the bedroom. You sit him down on the edge then gesture in the direction of the bathroom.
“I need to pee; you gonna come with me or will you stay here?” you question.
Jason frowns but nods. “If you take longer than five minutes, I’m coming in.”
You laugh and kiss the crown of his head. “If you say so.”
You know he’s being honest so you rush. Luckily, you make it in time for him not to come get you.
Jason hasn’t moved from when you left. He’s staring at the doorway, feet thumping rhythmically against the floor.
“You’re so needy tonight,” you observe and climb into bed. Jason scoots back until he’s beside you.
“I just miss you,” he sighs, pulling you against him like he originally wanted to do.
You lean back against his chest to feel him more.
“I’ve missed you too, Jay,” you reply.
There's been a rise in crime lately, which resulted in Jason being out in the field more than usual. However, it feels as if there’s a break and you and Jason are making the most of it. You’re sure he will be summoned again soon.
Jason snuggles your body more—if possible—and kisses the back of your head.
“We’re so sleeping in today,” he mumbles, a slight groan accompanying his words.
You giggle. “I can’t protest that.”
“Hm, good,” he says. “Goodnight, baby.”
Smiling, you echo, “Goodnight, Jay.”

Yan Zombie + Restoration Hobbyist Reader Blurb
-
"Blink once if you can hear me."
It calls to them from the darkness - a voice melancholic yet strangely robotic in its application. It's familiar - like something they've heard in a dream. They can't move. Their arms feel as though they're pinned beneath boulders. Their legs feel weightless. The place in their mouth were their tongue sat felt dry and... exposed. Left with no other choice, their eyelids flicker upwards. The flesh over their right eye feels to be constructed of foreign tissue - metal scrapping over the weight in the socket where their eye once was. The image of the figure standing over them is fleeting, lips pulled thin in an expression of approval.
"Blink twice."
Their eyes flutter open for a second time - remaining there as two finger pry apart the lids of their still functioning eye.
"Good. It's fortunate that you are still able to hear. At the moment, my fixes are merely cosmetic so I'm afraid you won't be able to see out of that eye of yours for some time. If you are like other patients I've had the issue will work out on its own."
Their eye rolls idly in their head - struggling to make out any features of the person through the blazing lights overhead.
"You must have questions. Forgive me- I wasn't expecting you to wake up before I had time to work on your jaw. Please use this to communicate if you wish, you can ask me anything."
Function to their left hand returns - their wrist raw and lacking the binding weight shacking it in place. Restraints? Smooth plastic rolls beneath their fingertip as they flex the stiff joints of their digits. Their fingers trace out the rectangular shape of the keyboard's space bar. Gliding gracelessly over the keys, a hand helps stabilize their moments as they begin to type. A computer monitor awakens from its sleep as words pop up on its screen.
"Where am I?"
A common question. "You are in my workplace. I repair things from time to time to keep myself busy. I found you in a creek nearby during a stroll the other night. Thankfully, you hadn't been in there long or I would've had to replace more than the skin of your eye."
Their hand draws up to their eye, feeling the odd texture over their eye. It's felt.
"I hate to bring up any bad memories from the past, but I need to ask in order to provide you with the care you require. Do you remember anything from the day you died?"
Died?... That's... honestly not the most surprising thing about this ordeal. A stabbing pain blisters at the back of their mind as they try to remember. A boat. A shotgun. Laughter. Tears. Please, no. It's not funny just put it down. Please. please-
"Boating trip. They said if I tagged along I could finally be apart of their group. I thought I could trust them. They said they were my friends. They said"
Their body lurches forward - fighting against the bite of their bonds. It hurts. It hurts so much. Why are they still here? Garbble wails ricochet off the bedroom walls. In their time of misery, another memory rushes to the forefront of their mind. Their body convulsing on an operating table. The gentle hushes of another as they pet back their hair - drying blackened tears from the corners of their eyes. A compassionate hand from the world that had abandoned them when they needed someone most.
"Hold me."
"What?"
"I remember.. Arms around me. A voice calling out to me. Promising me everything would be okay. That was you - right? Hold me. I don't want to be alone. Please, don't let me be alone anymore."
The hobbyist removes the glove from their dominant hand, wiping the leathery flesh were thick, congealing tears pool. You pull your newest patient closer - mindful of their stitches as you rub small circles along their spine.
"You can stay here as long as you like. While I'm not the most social person, I can't turn away someone who needs my assistance."
Their sobs are reduced to small whimpers as they cling into you - dying your apron in various fluids as their arm locks around your midsection in a vice grip. You grab onto their other wrist, preventing them from wrestling it out of their chains leaving you with more work in the future if their skin were to tear.
"I know this is a lot for you, but please try not to damage yourself further."
Their arm drops from your waist - fingers flying over the keyboard on a flurry.
"What's your name?"
"My name?... You can just call me Y/n."

dialtown object head model masterlist
looong post incoming! i've been on a hunt to have a full list of what every dialtown character's head is, kind of as an extension of my own phone (and printer) collecting irl. these were compiled with the help of a very kind handful of people, most notably @germaaaaaaaaaa who has a real knack for sniffing models out! photos are from the sources linked as well as my own personal collection.
phonegingi/callum
3D models based on this specific Ericsson Bakelite 1507, as shown in the extras menu (see first photo below). Note the broken plate on the front where one would put the number card, which is reflected in both Gingi and Callum’s models (Gingi’s has it facing downwards, and Callum’s faces upwards):
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
typegingi
3D model based on two typewriter models: the overall shape is that of a 1948-1949 Royal Quiet Deluxe, while the keys, carriage, and various details (like the color indicator dots to the side of the keyboard) from an Olympia SM9. Jbhusker on r/typewriters identified that for me :]
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
oliver
Telecom Eireann Slaney, the Irish version of the BT Relate 200, in color “oatmeal”. He also has a removable plastic standee part on the back that allows it to be hung on the wall, which we don’t see in his sprites but we do see in an image Dog posted of the back of the phone (which is how we know he's in oatmeal, since it's noted on the sticker- the photo below of my slaney is actually in alpine white, it's just become a similar oatmealy color due to age), as well as in the crowd shot during Roger’s presentation, with someone else with the same head.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
karen
3D model that is primarily based on a Canon Pixma ts202 (thanks to Smooth in phonecord for that ID!), but has significant differences in shape and color. She’s one of a kind!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
randy
Nokia 3410, which came in a couple colors (the Randy aqua we know, silver, and rarely red).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
bigfoot
A disposable camera without its outer plastic shell or paper labeling, this Renault one or something similar (maybe different branding? I swear dog mentioned he got bigfoot’s camera at a zoo.). Smooth on the discord found this one.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
norm
norm's head is made of meat. here's his hat (which he wears backwards in his sprites). (i never wrote down who found this one and i can't re-find it in phonecord search, sorry. like a 90% chance it was germa)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
mingus
Salvage the cat. Salvage the cat is a very unique model of cat.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
roger
FeTAp 791-1, in orange (apparently hueshifted- in real life he’s red, but there ARE orange versions of this model, they’re just harder to find than some other colors). This model came in a bunch of colors- please enjoy this one that looks like it’s made of meat and gristle. Far as I can tell, these were mostly German, but also popped up fairly frequently in the Soviet Union. Mine is an Argentinean release of the same model.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
peter
Western Electric Model 500, the most widely-produced rotary phone in history, in red. Note also that Peter has no lettering or numbering on his head, which is edited (it’s not possible to sand off a 500’s numbering because it’s actually filled-in plastic vice paint on top). Due to the color & clear plastic wheel, Peter’s model is from 1956 or later.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
god
Emerson 11P50. Here’s the specific stock images that his sprites are of, too. byrdffv on phonecord.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
jerry
Bell JO-4 or JN-4, same make, different color. Jerry is the same solid color all-around. I’d assumed he had to be custom-painted- I haven’t seen a single Jerry or almost-Jerry that’s the same solid color he is on the internet besides his OG stock photo (since, as you can see on mine, the metal and plastic parts are always different colors), but it’s not a well-documented series of models, and according to Dogman he’s seen ones like him IRL. Here’s the stock images used for Jerry. See also, his wheelchair, a LAWC001 (that one’s credit to Germa).
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
mr. dickens
K6 Telephone box. Not much more to say, there aren’t a massive amount of red UK telephone box models.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
and with that, i've reached the 30-image limit per post. i'll continue this in a reblog, or you can view the rest of them at the google doc i've set up here!

𝐄𝐲𝐞𝐬 𝐎𝐧 𝐘𝐨𝐮 |ROTTMNT| (Male OC)
Tumblr media
No rest for the wicked
Be sure to read the tags on my Ao3 so you guys know what you’re getting yourselves into.
Picture above done by me. But PLEASE feel free to make your own art and idk tag me in it or something—
Warnings: Implied past trauma of SA, past trauma, invasion of privacy, kidnapping, etc
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It had been at least 3 days since the chip was removed. 3 days of recovery. 3 days of feeling safe. But of course, Giovanni couldn’t help the overwhelming feeling surging over him whenever he touched the back of his sensitive neck. He can feel the stitches, trying not to pick at it as he bites his lower lip.
He would never say this out loud right now to everyone. But he was still scared. Scared that EPF could find him. Capture him and torture him all over again. Worst of all, his family could end up hurt too. He’d never forgive himself if that ever happened.
“Hey…you doing okay?” Raph had gently spoken up, startling Giovanni who flinched slightly at the sudden voice coming up from behind him. Giovanni was sitting alone in the living room, the TV on in the background, but Giovanni had long blocked it out, too focused on other things.
“I’m okay…” He replied, trying to appear as honest as he could. But Raph could sense the lie, taking note at how his brother clenched his hands together tightly, a bead of sweat at the back of his neck rolling down, the way he avoided eye contact.
It was obvious he wasn’t doing too well.
And Raphael could only guess what was eating away at him. He never actually…talked about his time with the EPF, they never had a chance to.
Raphael eventually sat down beside him without another word, close but not too close—he knew better than to push. The silence between them hung heavy for a moment, but not uncomfortable. Just…fragile.
“You don’t have to tell me everything,” Raph finally said, voice low. “But I’m here. You know that, right?”
Giovanni nodded, barely. His eyes flicked to the muted TV, unfocused. “I know.” 
There was another long pause before Giovanni spoke again, this time softer. “They made me do things…terrible things, Raph.” He starts off, voice slightly cracking as he refuses to make eye contact with his little brother.
“…I killed innocent yokais. Especially in the battle nexus.” Giovanni grimaced at the blurry memories, sighing as he placed his hands over his ears, closing his eyes.
“They used some kind of…mystic power on me. Made me see the Krang.”
Raph felt his jaw tighten. He hated this—hated that someone had gotten that deep inside his brother’s mind. “Giovanni…” Raph’s voice cracked.
“I’m scared, Raph.” The words tumbled out like a secret finally breaking free. “Even with it gone, it’s like I can still feel them watching. Like they left something in me. Something I can’t shake.”
“You’re not alone in this.” Raph said, finally placing a firm hand on his brother’s shoulder. “Whatever they did, whatever they tried to do—you’re still you. And we’re going to make sure they never touch you again.”
Giovanni met his brother’s eyes. There was fear there, yes—but also a flicker of something else. Trust. The kind that only came from surviving hell and still holding on to the people who mattered.
“Thank you…” He gave a strained, tired smile.
Leo didn’t mean to eavesdrop, but he did. Face scrunching up lightly before shaking his head and limping his way to Donnie’s lab, the soft shell had been cooped up inside for days now, and Leo and the others remained unsure as to what he was doing in there.
Leo sneakily opens the door, peeking his head through, tilting his head as he sees his twin’s fingers flying across the keyboard on his large computer screen, eyes narrowed behind his purple mask. 
Leo curiously looks over, eyes wide when he sees it was security cameras of the very place that put Giovanni through hell.
Leo strides over, shutting the door behind him for privacy as he makes his way up to Donnie. “What are you doing?” He spoke up, causing Donnie to yelp briefly before he sighs to calm down.
“How’d you get in?”
“You left the door unlocked.”
“Seriously?”
Donnie groaned, rubbing his temple as he leaned back against his chair. “Well, I’m sure your eyes are working. As you can see, I hacked into the EPF base.”
Leo hums in acknowledgement. “How though? You had trouble last time doing that.” He inquired, making Donnie scoff, “When we went to rescue Gio, I threw some of my tech around, letting them scan and download any and all of their technology that they had into their system.” He explains, smiling proudly at himself as Leo lowly whistles in impressiveness.
“The downloads have just been completed. I’m…I’m going to watch the videos. See what the hell they did to our brother.”
Leo goes quiet at this, taking in a breath, “In that case, I’ll watch too.” He walks away for a moment, grabbing a stool and putting it beside Donnie who deadpans.
“You sure?”
“As a leader, I want to know. Need to know. Plus…he’s my brother. Our brother. I can’t sit by, he’s back to being jumpy.”
Donnie didn’t need much convincing, nodding before clicking on some files and clicking on the first file. He pulled the footage into full screen. Both brothers stared.
Giovanni on the first day of his kidnap. Scared, lost, confused. Pacing around like an animal as he was looking for any way out. Stripped of his mask and gear.
Both brothers collectively narrowed their eyelids. Staying focused on what they were going to watch.
-----
“No! Get off me!”
The cries of Giovanni echoed, followed by his desperate chirps as he fought against the manhandling.
-----
The choking sobs as Giovanni is strapped down to a metal table, head slumped. Needles. Cold lights. A scientist in a lab coat whispering into a recorder. Giovanni jerking against restraints, silent screams echoing from the feed. 
-----
The battle against the yokai wolf, its white fur stained with red as it lags limply on the floor. Giovanni staring down at it blankly.
Then the shock collar.
-----
Giovanni pounced on Dr. Avery, punching him as he had been starved for days by now. That was a bit satisfying to see.
But then he would get shocked again by the collar.
-----
The starvation period. The way Giovanni would curl in a corner, crying to himself. Mumbling to himself. The way he’d jump at the slightest of noise.
Dr. Brookes coerced him to become calm, building trust with him. The time Bishop gave Giovanni a toy bear that seemed to have made Giovanni become practically nonverbal, just chirps and clicking and other turtle noises.
-----
The day Giovanni saw Sister Krang. That was hard to watch. Had Donnie look away and gag, shaking slightly as he could only imagine the trauma.
-----
The invasion of his privacy. Mentally and physically draining him. The way he looked so exhausted…so troubled.
He’s been through hell…and they were going to continue all these torture on him.
-----
There was other footage—invasive examinations, invasive scans, moments where Giovanni recoiled like a cornered wild, feral animal.
There was even video of him at the Battle Nexus. In the room with that Dr. Brookes lady…what they saw her do to him as he is battered and bruised, too weak to fight against her disgusting touches.
Leo’s fists clenched at his sides, eyes dangerously glaring at the screen. “They did that to him?” He hisses under his breath, pupils slit and jaw clenched.
Donnie nodded once, slowly. “We’re not just watching anymore.”
They exchanged a look. No words needed. The kind of look only brothers who’d seen too much, and lost too much, could share.
“I’ll tell Raph and Mikey we’re heading out.” Leo said, turning. “No.” Donnie stood, making Leo halt and look back at him in puzzlement, but Donnie had already gathered some gear. “We tell them we’re getting pizza. That’s it.”
Leo smirked faintly, bitterness clear in his expression. “Right. Pizza.” He agrees, clearing his throat as he takes in a breath and puts on his best fake smile. It had been hours as the twins were watching the videos. 
He saw Mikey, Raph, their father and Giovanni in the living room, chatting and watching TV together. Leo’s eyes focused on Giovanni instinctively, fighting his urge to run over and embrace his brother.
Donnie clears his throat loudly, gaining their attention. “Boys! What have you been doing all this time?” Splinter inquired, surprised to see them after the hours they’ve been cooped up inside the lab.
“Sorry, dad. Just playing a game with Don. Say, we’re actually kind of hungry, Donnie and I were going to grab some pizzas for us.” Leo explains smoothly, lazily smiling as Raph’s stomach growls.
“Pizza huh. I can work with that. Oh! Can you get the chicken wings too?”
“Sure thing, bro.”
Leo and Donnie quickly usher out the lair, bidding everyone their brief goodbyes, but once they got up the ladder and lifted the manhole cover off, climbing through and up to the surface.
They were on a mission.
Reaching the surface was easy, it always had been, Leo turned to Donnie who took out a familiar sphere shaped object.
“I can’t believe you kept that.” Leo mumbles, eyeing the teleportation device as Donnie huffs, “Neither can I…are we sure we want to do this?” He inquired, furrowing his brows in second guessing the plan. Leo rolled his eyes and placed a hand on his brother’s shoulder.
“If we want to stop EPF for good, we gotta go after them. Do you really want them to continue on, even after what they put Giovanni through?” 
His voice was stern, angry and determined. All mixed together. Donnie silently watched, thinking it over in his head. Leo was right…it wouldn't be good if EPF remained operational.
“….okay. For Gio.”
“For Gio.”
With simple precision, Donnie places down the sphere, the twins watching it levitate into the air and summon a portal to their destination.
With a final nod of encouragement towards each other, they both step inside.
-----
Hours passed, too long for a simple pizza run. Raph had begun pacing around the lair, arms folded, brows drawn tight. “They should be back by now. Where the hell are they?” He grumbled to himself, careful to not be too loud. Giovanni had finally managed to fall asleep, resting on the couch comfortably with Mikey sitting beside him.
Mikey glanced at his phone again, then at the lair’s entrance. “Should we be worried? Maybe they actually did get lost on the way to Hueso’s?”
But they both knew better.
Raph glanced over to his sleeping older brother, frowning in sympathy. While Giovanni didn’t go into full detail of what exactly happened, he shared enough for Raph.
“Come on…we gotta go find them.” Raph softly informs, beckoning for Mikey to follow as the youngest turtle was a little hesitant on doing so, but he figured with Splinter here, plus April and CJ who had arrived a few minutes after Leo and Donnie left, claiming that they wanted to hang out, check in on everyone, it should be fine to leave Giovanni in their care.
Without another word, they grabbed their gear and headed out into the night. Climbing the escape ladder and opening the manhole cover, quiet and stuck to the shadows of the alleyway.
But there was a bright light, making the two gasp once they saw what it was.
The portaling device, the one they used to get into the EPF base to rescue Giovanni. Raph’s heart tightened and eyes blown wide.
“Those idiots…” He hisses to himself, understanding that the two twins lied, that they went after EPF. “We gotta go after them, right?” Mikey spoke up, standing beside his older brother who nodded.
“Let’s go!”
The two ran into the portal.
-----
More time passed. The quiet but somehow loud ticking of a clock in Splinter’s room echoed, each second dragging suspiciously longer. He couldn’t quite pinpoint it, but he felt off. He knew his sons were out, but it had been far too long now for a simple pizza run.
Splinter sighs, getting up and exiting his room, looking around in hopes to see someone. He did, April and CJ who had been sitting in comfortable silence in the living room, sprawled on the couch was Giovanni, snoring softly away with a blanket over his body and head tucked under a pillow.
Oh his son…Splinter could tell he was exhausted, could tell he was still in pain, mental pain. He wished he could’ve done something sooner, wished he could go back in time, grab Giovanni in that lab explosion and take him away to raise alongside his brothers.
He would’ve potentially ended up somehow far different than what he is like now. Hopefully he would’ve been happier.
“Splints…did the guys say what time they’ll be back?” April quietly whispered, making her way over as CJ turned his head towards them in curiosity.
The rat hums, placing a hand under his chin in deep thought.
Splinter could sense it now—that something had shifted. He, Casey, and April had waited long enough, his sons were possibly in danger, and he was not going to let that happen again. Not this time.
“Come. Let’s go find them.”
“Okay, I’ll wake up Gio—“
Splinter quickly snapped his head towards CJ who had inched closer to Giovanni’s sleeping form. “No!” He shouts, before he stiffens, biting his lower lip as Giovanni briefly stirs before his breathing evened out.
“No…let him rest. We will be back.”
CJ frowns but nods in understanding. With grim determination, they left the lair in search of the four missing turtles.
And much like the others, after climbing out and reaching the alleyway, they found the portal. Open and wide.
-----
“Wake up…”
K…Karai? Gram-Gram’s voice…
“You must awaken my child. Your family is in great danger!”
Giovanni whimpers, the voice growing louder as he tossed and turns. Just a nightmare he figured.
“No nightmare my dear child. Now quickly, open your eyes…Giovanni!”
He gasps awake, cold sweat on his skin as he sits up, eyes wide and breathing sharp. He looks around, examining with his eyelids on where he was.
The lair.
But it was quiet. Too quiet. Almost empty.
He gulps, throwing off the blanket and carefully standing up. Wrapping his arms around himself with anxiousness.
“H-hello? Dad…? Leo? M-Mikey?”
….
“Anyone…?”
Silence. Tense, eerie silence.
Oh no…did…did they leave him? No, no, no!
Giovanni felt his throat closing up, briefly forgetting how to breathe as he ran around the lair, going into every room he could find.
Leo’s room. He’s not there.
Donnie’s lab. Not there.
Raph in the gym? Nope.
Mikey in the gaming room? No!
Dad’s room? Nothing!
Where…where is everyone?!
He whimpers, legs shaking and clasping his hands over his head, eyes closed and lips trembling. He was alone. Just like he had been in the hands of the EPF.
He was down right terrified. Shaking violently as he felt tears reach the corner of his eyes. Why is it always him? Being left behind like this…
“My child…”
A warm hand pressed against his shoulder, causing the yellow bellied slider to gasp and look up.
He recognised the figure in front of him. Karai.
Transparent and glowing yes. But it was Karai. Her spirit.
“W-what—“
“I understand you’re fragile right now. But please, you are the only one who can help them.”
Them…?
“Your family…they need your help.”
Giovanni perks up. His family was in danger? Is that what she was getting at? “Where are they…?” He asked in utter confusion, as Karai frowned before pointing up.
“Go to the surface. You’ll see.”
She soon vanishes, making Giovanni blink as he takes in deep breaths to control his emotions. He looked down at himself briefly, he was still in gear, never had been bothering to change out of them earlier.
He runs to the med bay, grabbing his sword that leaned against the wall as he clenched the hilt tightly.
He left the med bay afterwards, gulping once more. He didn’t want to feel abandoned. He knew they didn’t mean to leave him. But still, the silence of the lair grew heavier by the minute. His chest felt tight. Every shadow is too long. Every creak is too loud.
His fingers found the back of his neck again, brushing against the healing stitches. A memory flashed—bright lights, metal restraints, voices in his head.
He needed air.
His fingers grasped the escape ladder once he left the comfort of the lair, slowly climbing up. He noticed the manhole uncovered, which was odd.
Nervously he peeked his head out, looking left and right. He climbs out fully, his non-existent brows furrowing as took a moment to breathe in the much needed oxygen and look around the alleyway.
What was he supposed to see—
Oh.
Oh.
He widens his eyes at the sight of the portal ahead of him. Cautiously walking over before stopping in front of it.
What was it? He could’ve sworn it looked quite familiar. Like he’s seen it somewhere before—
He gasps, flinching back when it comes to him. This had been the device his family used to rescue him from that hellhole.
“Don’t tell me…” He quietly mumbled under his breath, sword tight in his hand as he held it to the side.
They…they went to the EPF?
He gulps, looking around for…for well anything that could give him peace of mind. Maybe it was a dream. He was hallucinating.
It can’t be real.
He pants, growing panic rising as his eyes shifted over to the brick wall.
And that’s when he saw it.
A bloodied piece of fabric pinned to the wall with a blade of a knife.
And beneath it… a note.
The paper was torn, the handwriting jagged and rushed. But it was enough.
We have your family. Come alone. You know where.
His breath caught in his throat.
There was something else smeared on the bricks beneath the note—four familiar markings in some kind of marker.
A blue streak. A purple print. Red scratches. Orange splatter.
Their colors.
And with Splinter not in the lair, along with CJ and April not present either. He had to conclude that they were…
Giovanni staggered back, hand raised to his mouth, feeling sick. His heart pounding, sweat forming on his green skin, he felt as though his world was tilting under him.
They took them.
They took them all.
….
…….
……….
And he’s getting them back. No matter what.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can’t believe this story is ending soon—

drabble masterlist || my full masterlist
.  . • ☆ . ° .• °:. *₊ ° . ☆.
There’s a lump on the couch when Namjoon walks into his office. Velvet blanket wriggling with the force of human limbs at the sound of the door clicking shut.
“My love” Namjoon calls out for you, laptop left and forgotten on the rounded coffee table before he sits beside what he assumes is your feet.
You hum. Tugging the blanket under your chin to meet his eyes- as tired and weary as your own.
“You're unbelievably cute when you're tired” he runs a thumb over your cheek, the faintest hint of a smile tugging at the corner of his lips.
You sigh, “Am not”, watching as he tugs his suit jacket off. “Today was the busiest I’ve ever seen the shop. And I was the only one working this afternoon. I think I'm exhausted”
That hint of a smile on Namjoon’s face melts into a frown, eyebrows drawn down with the force of his displeasure.
“You poor thing. Surely there was someone to help you?”
You shake your head, “They clocked out early, so it was just me most of the day” your bottom lip tugs down into a pout, “I hate working at the front desk”
“I know you do, love” he tucks a piece of hair behind your ear, “How are you feeling?”
“Not sure” he watches your shoulders shrug under the blanket, muscles wound tight with the tension of the day.
“Not sure?” his head tilts ever so slightly.
“Tired. But I’m too aware of everything to even think about sleeping. And overwhelmed. Like I wanna itch my brain a bit or remove my ears from my head”
Namjoon hums, “What about a nap? Would music be too much for you at the moment?”
“Probably”
“Silence it is then” he nods, slouching a little further into the back of the couch, “I’ll catch up on some work, and you can tell me all about your day when you feel better? A little less overwhelmed? We can always talk at home later, or in the morning too, whenever you're ready, love”
You tug the blanket over your chin, sinking into the plush cushions, eyes falling shut.
The rhythmic tapping of Namjoon’s keyboard is more welcome than a conversation, and Namjoon doesn’t hold that against you. Knowing that in your own time, the fizzling frustration and wound-up emotions of the day would spill past your lips, unfurling all the bad that had been weighing you down for what he can only assume is most of the day.
“There was a dog in the shop today” you break the silence, maybe an hour later. Voice foreign to your own ears, and you wince a little at the shattered silence.
Namjoon closes his laptop, leaving it on the coffee table once more as he turns his attention back to you.
“A dog?”
“Mhhmm” you push yourself to sit up, blanket still wrapped tightly around your body, “This old man brought his dog in, and then it peed all over the floor and I had to clean it but, he was cute, so I didn’t mind”
“The old man, or the dog?” Namjoon raises an eyebrow.
A smile stretches your cheeks, “Both. I’m not sure what breed the dog was, but the old man told me he was buying flowers for his wife, it’s their anniversary tomorrow”
“Ah, they must have been married for a long time” he muses, and you nod.
“I hope we’re like that one day”
“Old?”
Your nose scrunches up at that, “Old and together” you nod, “And married” you add.
“Is that all?” Namjoon tugs you closer until your body is leaning against his side, his arm slung over your shoulder.
“Yeah. As long as we’re still together then I don’t mind”
“You’re lucky I have no plans of getting rid of you” he hums and your eyebrows furrow at that, head tilting up to catch a look at his face.
“Excuse me?” you scoff, though Namjoon can hear the hint of a smile laced between your words, “if anything, I would be the one getting rid of you”
Now it’s Namjoon’s turn to look down at you with furrowed brows, “I would sure hope not”
“You’re lucky I like you”
“Is that so?” he challenges, head tilting down slightly to press a kiss over the warm skin of your cheek, then to your temple.
Your hand slips from the safety of your blanket, fingers tracing over his jaw before you gently tug his lips to meet your own.
Your lungs expand with the harsh intake of breath you suck in once the both of you part, your lips shiny with Namjoon’s saliva.
“There was also a young boy that came in today” you whisper against his lips, losing your breath when he gives you a fleeting kiss, lips pillowing yours. Silently begging for more, drawing you closer as he pulls away.
You press another kiss to the corner of his lips.
“A boy?” Namjoon encourages, mind trailing after what you had been about to tell him.
“Yes”
“And what about him?” Namjoon prods.
He doesn’t think it’s jealousy that colours his words. He never found himself to be a jealous man, not even when he had started dating you. He wasn’t oblivious to the looks you would get, eyes of men that would never be yours probably conjuring up a thousand fantasies to fuel their lonely mind. And Namjoon wasn’t an insecure man; he would never subject you to a strict way of living—limiting your self expression simply because of outside forces.
And he knew you wouldn’t cheat. Just as he, himself would never imagine himself stooping to that level. That didn’t mean he wasn’t wary when you brough up other testosterone filled, bull-headed men that were more than likely to hit on you. Never seeming to grasp the concept of ‘no’ or ‘I’m not interested’.
You blink up at Namjoon, scooting yourself from his side, legs crossed under your blanket with cheeks dusted the lightest pink.
“So?” Namjoon asks, strange feeling whittling its way throughout his blood stream and into his heart.
“He reminded me of you”
“Pardon?”
“He reminded me a lot of us, when we were young” you say again, and Namjoon blinks.
“How so?”
You let the blanket fall off your shoulders, “He was curious. Asked so many questions about the flowers. Genuinely interested in what I had to say.”
“I only ever asked because I knew you loved them so much” he huffs, and you catch your laugh on your tongue.
“Not only that” you continue, “He got her the same flowers you got me, the day you asked me out”
“He made the right choice then” Namjoon tells you, “And I suppose, their relationship will be just as lucky as ours”
“You think so?” you ask him, arms slipping around his stomach, head resting on his shoulder.
“Maybe. Though he’ll never be as lucky as I am to have you”

Blog MASTERLIST
“You’re a fuckin’ idiot.” George didn’t hesitate to express his current thoughts.
Matty walked, staring at his side profile, meanwhile he spat, “Can you keep your mouth shut, you twat?”
They had been quiet during the driving from Matty’s house to the nearest hospital. George was moving forward along Matty’s side, holding a white cloth secured around his friend’s hand. The drummer tried not to show entirely how annoyed he was with the situation. He knew Matty didn’t mean to sliced his finger, while cooking dinner for them, but coming to the ER wasn't his ideal plan for a Friday evening. 
“It amazes me how smart and fuckin’ dumb you can be at the same time.” George continued, slightly scolding Matty.
“Oh, really?” Matty’s voice dripping with sarcasm. “Want me to tell you what I think about you knobhead, ha?” his finger was hurting like a bitch, and George giving him shit for his actions wasn’t helping. 
They suddenly stopped at the front desk of the hospital area, without acknowledging the person at the other side. George and Matty were face to face, while the taller one held the cloth tight. 
“Please, be my guess-” the drummer encouraged his friend to keep talking.
“All right…”
Although, someone cleared their throat. The guy’s stunned faces turned to look at the nurse. “How can I help you, gentlemen?” she accentuated the last word in an ironic tone, making the guys blush as they were behaving like proper children. 
“Sorry.” Gorge was the first one to stated, Matty followed him close behind.
She didn’t waste one more second, her sight fell on Matty’s hand. The cloth was no longer entirely white, the blood was coming through. “What happened?” Y/n inquired.
Matty stayed in silence, admiring her features. She was young and visibly hot. The singer found himself feeling incredible nervous around her. The young nurse was very front forward, he wasn’t really used to girls like her. There was something unique about her. It made him look insecure. 
George made him snapped out of his daydreaming, hitting the back of Matty’s head slightly. George’s mate turned to gift him a look. 
Matty returned his sight to the nurse, “I cut my finger.” he simply said.
“How deep?”
“Very, very deep.” George interfered. Something about his tone rubbed Matty off. 
“Thank you, George.” Matty groaned.
“Please, fill this.” she gave G a paper to put Matty’s information in. 
G completed it as fast as he could. On the other hand, Matty watched the nurse taping the computer keyboard. 
Her hair was up in a messy bun, her uniform accentuated her body, and she didn’t have makeup on. He liked the natural aura she exuded. 
“Done.” George broke the silence.
George let her take the form from him, walking with the paper far from the desk. She said, without turning around, “Thanks. Follow me, boys.” she took a good look at the information. 
******
The emergency room was small and very white, Matty thought, trying to focus on something else than his finger throbbing under the cloth.
The nurse instructed him to sit at the hospital bed, placing herself in front of him, almost between his legs. Matty felt the room got one degree hotter. 
“Let me see.” she asked, going to remove the fabric. “Oh, yeah…” Y/n exclaimed when her eyes found the wound. “Definitely, you’re going to need stitches.” she held his hand between hers. “Sorry, what’s your name?” Y/n inquired, looking up at his eyes, not letting his hand go. 
“I’m Matty.” he muttered.
George –interrupting the intimate moment– introduced himself, “And I’m George.” Y/n blushed, realizing Matty’s friend was in the room with them.
“Nice to meet you guys.” Y/n’s sight went from one to the other. “I’m going to call someone to fix your finger, alright?” she let Matty know. 
“Thank you, Y/n.” Matty said, watching her leave the room from the other door opposite to the one they came in. 
Y/n stopped with the door half open when her name came from Matty’s mouth. “How..?” she looked surprised. 
“Name tag.” Matty smirked at her.
“Right.” 
She left the room without saying anything more. 
Once she was out, George couldn’t help to laugh at Matty. His mate questioned him, “What?”
“Leave her alone.” G leaned backwards on the opposite wall, folding his arms. 
“I wasn’t doing anything.”
“Sure, mate.”
“Oh, come on! She’s fit…” 
“Matty…”
Matty’s mouth asked before he could stop the words from spilling out, “Ask her if she’s single.”
“I’m not going to do that, idiot.” George answered to his request, while he put his hood up.
“Please, I’ll pay you for it.” Matty begged.
“No.”
“Please.”
The small fight was interrupted by Y/n’s return, “Okay, everyone is busy. Big car crash.So, lucky you…I’m going to do it myself.” she informed Matty.
“Perfect, not complaints from me.” he winked his right eye. 
George rolled his eyes, “Excuse him, Y/n. Sometimes he behaves like a four-year-old.” he excused his friend.
Y/n chuckled, “Are you mates?” she tried to know, going to get all the things she needed to fix Matty’s finger. Y/n tried to not feel nervous, or even show how restless she really was. 
“Sadly, yes.” the drummer replied.
“And ‘m the child…” Matty protested, following Y/n’s form.
“Okay, time to work.” Y/n left the supplies at Matty’s side, proceeding to take his hand. “I’m going to clean the wound, yeah?” she checked with him. 
“Do your worst, Y/n.”
She started to clean the wound with so much care, paying attention to his little sounds and movements.
“What were you trying to do when you…?” Y/n interrogated Matty.
“When I chapped my finger?” Y/n laughed, going to throw away the used gauzes. 
“Yes.”
“Cooking dinner.”
“Oh, you know how to cook?” Y/n returned to his side. 
Matty felt proud of himself, “Yep, I can make something for you, if you want…” he suggested.
“Very kind from you.” Y/n tried to dodge his proposal. 
Next, Y/n took the needle and thread, going to star the real fixing. She tried to stabilize her shaking hand.
“If it hurts too much, let me know, and I’ll anaesthetise the area.” Y/n let him know everything she was going to do before every one of her actions. 
“Okay, Y/n.”
Her hand continued to shake, not matter how hard she tried. Y/n ignored it and went to pinch his finger with the needle. Before Matty could feel anything, Y/n moved slightly backwards. Matty frowned, looking at her hesitate.
“G, can you go and get me some snacks?” he asked without taking his eyes from Y/n.
“What?”
“Snacks, George. Now!” he urged him out of the room.
“Okay, okay.” G stomped out, leaving the pair alone.
“Hey,” Matty moved his good hand, reaching for her right hand. “What’s wrong?”
Y/n felt embarrassed to admit, “It’s my first time.”
“Fixing someone?” Matty drew circles on her skin, trying to distract her. 
“Stitching a real person.” Y/n shared with him.
“I’m taking your stitching virginity?” Matty regretted speaking when Y/n contracted his face. “Sorry, joking…”
“I know, I know…and yeah, you’re taking my-”
Matty interrupted her, “Please don’t complete the phrase. ‘m so stupid, sorry.” Matty hid his face behind his good hand.
“It’s alright. I’m going to-” Y/n encouraged herself to keep going.
“Come on, you can do it! I believe in you.” he cheered for her, which she found it charming.  
“Here I go.”
Y/n took a big breath, focusing again on his finger. 
When she pierced his skin with the needle, Matty hissed. “Hurts?” she inquired. It really did hurt, but Matty tried to be brave and macho with the pain. 
“A little.” he let Y/n know grudgingly. “I have a lot of tattoos, so I’m used to this.” It wasn’t anything similar to get a tattoo.
“That’s really cool, I always wanted to get one.” Y/n made conversation with him.
“You should.”
Even though the conversation was short. Y/n wasn’t stupid, and she knew the procedure was painful. 
Matty grew anxious with the silence, so he admitted, “Never thought I’d witness you getting nervous.”
Y/n looked up, taking a break Matty thanked in silence. She crooked her eyebrow, silently asking.
“Don’t know…I judged you by how you cut our shit out there.” 
Y/n chuckled. “Do you guys bicker that much?”
“Nah, George is pissed I forced him to take me here and waste the night.”
“That’s a shame. I can feel he’s a good mate.”
“He is, definitely.”
Y/n continued to work. Matty stared at her puckered forehead and the tip of her tongue coming slightingly between her lips. She looked fabulous, all focused on him.
“You’re doing amazing.” he tried to motivate her.
Y/n tried to mess with him, “Shut up, you know nothing about this.” but it came all wrong.
“You don’t know me, sweetheart. I’ve cut fingers, knees, and a lot of places of my body multiple times.”
“I’m sorry…was stupid to assume that.” she apologized.
“Y’know…you can get to know me.” Matty made his try to ask her out, more obvious this time.
“Oh, really?”
“If you want…”
“Did you flirt with every nurse that fixes your wounds?”
“Only with the pretty ones, and I’ve only encountered one…tonight.”
“Your girlfriend don’t mind?” Y/n stared at his eyes. 
“Sweet of you to assume I’m taken.” Matty smiled at her without breaking eye contact. “For your information, I’m single…had been for a long time now.”
“Mmm.”
“What? Don’t you believe me?” Y/n started to finish her work, feeling better with herself. 
“I have eyes, Matty…”
“Does your partner mind you flirting with patients?” It was his time to ask if she was taken or not.
“He doesn’t.” Matty’s stomach sank with her replied. He was really hoping she was single. “I’m kidding, I’m kidding. I’m single, if you so want to know.” Y/n rapidly said.
“That was rude.” Matty pouted. “I’m not sure any more if I want to ask you out now…” he teased her.
“Oh, really? Were you thinking about it?”
“Since I first saw you.” Y/n cheeks turning red was the best encouragement for him.
“Cute.” 
“Yeah, you.” he kept going.
Y/n cut the thread, wrapping his finger on a clean gauze, finishing with her work.
“Alright, charmer. All done.” she said, taking a step backwards.
Matty checked his finger, “You were nervous? This is the best work I’ve seen.”
“So full of shit you are.” she dared to say.
Matty snorted. “That’s not a nice way to talk with a patient.”
“Are you only a patient?” Matty watched her fold her arms in front of her. She was so cute in his eyes.
“I hope I’m not just another patient for you.”
Y/n analysed Matty, still seated at the hospital bed. 
“Give me your phone.”
The singer only managed to give her his phone, without muttering a single sound. She could be so extroverted and so introverted at the same time. The duality amazed him.  
Y/n saved her contact in his phone, and then said, “There. Gotta get back to work, Matty.” 
“I’ll call you, Y/n,” he said, moving the device in the air. 
“Okay.” she smiled at him, and start to leave the room. 
Matty shouted from behind her, “Wait for my call.” coming to his feet.
She turned around, “Sure.” Y/n didn’t sound so convinced. 
*************
Matty left the emergency room, founding G seated not so far away. 
“So?” the drummer inquired.
Matty, proud of his actions, exclaimed, “Got her phone number.” 
“Was asking about your finger!” George stood up. “Really?” he asked.
“Yeah, she’s amazing.” Matty started walking down the hall towards the exit.
“Can see that.” Matty’s friend poked him. 
Once in the car, George started talking about some random history while he waited. Matty didn’t listen to him. He opened his text, pressing to start a new conversation. 
Tell me if I'm wrong, but I can't call you during your shift, can I? x Matty
It took her a minute to answer.
No, you can’t. I have my break in 5 minutes though... x Y/n
Calling you in 10 then ;) x Matty 
Matty smiled looking out the window.

~~~~
Tumblr media
Hanamaki flops down next to you on your bed after losing a card game of Speed. The two of you are card game fans, and you spend your time together learning new ones and mastering old ones. 
The bet was that if he won, you would have to come to his annual party that he holds during the Omagari Firework Festival. Unfortunately for him, he lost.
"Y/N, please, can you just come by for a little while? We promise to not bother you; if it gets annoying, you have full access to my room.” Makki asks, jumping up and holding your hands up in front of you with pleading eyes.
Makki’s parties are always headaches, and the only way that you would possibly go is if there was someone to keep you to the earth.
“Is Hajime going to be there?” You say, removing your hands from his grip.
"Yes, he’ll be there! Mattsun will be there too.” Makki says, suggestively while smirking at the mention of Matsukawa’s name.
He’s going to be there, huh? Now that's pushing me to go.
“Don’t give me that look, Hanamaki; I will bitch-slap you.”
“Ah,” he dramatically gasps, holding a hand to his heart, looking baffled. “I’m trying to get you laid, hoe. I know the way you look at him.”
“Yeah? How do I look at him?” You ask, your patience running thin.
“It’s the ‘bend me over the table and fuck me till I can’t walk for weeks’ look.” He grins.
Your eyes widen, and warmth pools in your cheeks. 
Do I seriously have that look towards him?
“Hanamaki Takahiro, you have 10 seconds to get out of my room and apartment before I change my mind about coming. Ten, nine, eight-”
By the eighth second. Makki was out of sight and out of mind.
Great, now you have to find an outfit.
— — —
"Y/N-chan, you made it!” Tooru pulls you inside from the crowd at the door and traps you in a hug. He was obviously drunk from the looks of it, and it did not help that he was half naked.
"Tooru, get your stanky, sweaty ass off of me.” Pushing him off, you head towards Iwaizumi, who waves to you from the kitchen.
"NOOO, Y/N-chan, come backkk!” Oikawa whines, trying to reach for your shirt but then being distracted by a drinking contest.
You immediately run from the six-foot setter to Iwaizumi, who pulls you into a gentle embrace.
“Hey, green bean. I’m shocked to see you here.” He whispers against your ear, and you pull back a bit, grasping his elbows while he holds your forearms, close but easily identifiable as friends.
“Makki said that you would be here, so I don’t really mind.”
“You sure it was for me, or a certain someone?” He grins, wiggling his eyebrows suggestively, like Makki five hours ago.
You sigh, bringing a hand up to hide your blushing cheeks. “Not you too, Hajime.”
“What? Literally, the entire team has thought you two are cute ever since that beach volleyball day.” He smiles, moving your hand to meet your eyes.
That day, 3 months ago, was one to revel in.
The sun was blaring, and the boys wanted to play volleyball in a different environment. You helped them set up and tracked their movements, just in case they wanted a summary.
After playing, you all jumped in the water and goofed around. One specific game lit a fire in the spark you had for Matsukawa Issei.
You were on Iwaizumi’s shoulders, while Matsukawa was on Hanamaki’s.
Yahaba cheered you on from the side, and Kindaichi laughed at the struggling Makki, holding Matsukawa’s tall ass.
“Ready, set, go!” Oikawa yells, signalling the start of the wrestle.
You laugh full-heartedly while escaping Matsukawa’s attacks. You grab onto his shoulders and try to push him off of Makki, but he stands ever-strong and smirks at your will.
“Come on, dove, you can do better than that.” He laughs.
“Oh yeah?” You grin, an idea popping up in your cunning mind.
“Oh yeah.” He repeats, dragging on the sentence a bit longer.
“Hajime, loosen your grip on my thighs.” You holler, and Iwaizumi follows quickly to your idea.
“What-” Matsukawa starts but is immediately cut off by your jump, which launches him off of Makki’s shoulders and into the water.
He grabs onto your arms before you can return to Iwaizumi’s shoulders. If he was going down, he would take you with him.
The warm water met your skin, and a small wave disrupted your balance, and you couldn't make your way back up. Matsukawa’s hands pulled you up under your arms, and you emerged, taking a deep breath.
His hand wrapped around your waist and pulled you against him, skin to skin.
Matsukawa’s other hand moved the hair out of your face and brushed it behind your ear. “Cute.” He says, narrowing his eyes, a tug on his lips that curled them upwards.
You blushed at his sharp eyes, and to ignore the heat on your chest, you remembered his earlier action.
"Mattsu, you little shit, you dragged me with you!”
He laughs as you are pulled back by Oikawa, who requires your strong shoulders to go against Iwaizumi.
That day, they all heard the aloof Matsukawa Issei call a girl cute.
Snapping out of the memory, you flick Iwaizumi’s head. “Keep quiet about that! He literally only complimented me. He doesn't need to know about this.” You point to your heart, referencing your feelings for him.
“Who doesn't need to know about what?” A gruff voice appears behind you, and your eyes widen before relaxing and putting on a calm expression. Iwaizumi smirks at your red face.
“Mattsu! Hey!” You turn around and give him a quick hug, making sure not to linger for long. “I was just talking about the surprise party that we planned for Tooru; his birthday is next week, remember.”
His cute eyebrows raise, and he remembers the plan they set up for July 20. “Oh yeah, that.”
“Imma leave ya’ll to it.” Iwaizumi turns towards the large crowd heading towards Watari as he ushers him in for company.
“Haji-” You are cut off by a look from Iwaizumi, the classic dad look that is asking you to socialise for once.
Matsukawa chuckles. “Am I not enough, dove?”
You smirk, raising your head to meet his hooded eyes, a surge of confidence in you. “You're more than enough.”
He raises his glass to his upturned lips, his eyes tracing your body as you grab a drink from the drink counter.
The two of you stood next to each other in silence, your preferred company. Matsukwa’s shoulders would brush your every now and then to the sway of music. It was calm with him—for now.
“I'm gonna go throw my cup away, you done with yours?” You ask, your thumb pointing to the large trash can on the other side of the room.
Matsukawa smiled and handed you his empty cup. "Thanks, dove.”
You blush at his smile and head towards the trash can. Pushing through the crowd, the smell of alcohol and vape overwhelms you.
You absolutely abstain from drinking and smoking, which is why your cup held punch instead of alcohol. That's another reason you hate parties.
As you walked through, a girl in front of you accidentally tripped over her feet, and her drink flew at your white shirt, soaking it entirely.
“Oh my god! I'm so sorry; I really didn't mean to do that.” She apologises profusely, and you sigh, knowing it was not her fault.
You help her up and reassure her that it's alright, and she makes up for her mistake by grabbing the empty cups from your hands to help you out. You whisper a small thank you.
Before you could walk through to find some napkins, a hand grabbed the back of your upper arm and pulled you flush against their chest.
It’s Iwazumi.
“Hajime what-” 
He cuts you off and pulls you closer, whispering in your ear, “Your bra is showing, sunshine.”
Oh.
“Stay behind me.” Iwaizumi pushes you behind him and heads for the stairs. But God decides to be a pain in his ass and throws a hurdle at him—quite literally.
Oikawa Tooru’s shorts launch at Iwaizumi and land on his face.
You peek from behind him and see Oikawa almost naked with his boxers on, dancing, and perched on the table with Yahaba trying to pull him down. Kindaichi is recording the scene and Kunimi is running to the other side for a different angle.
“SHITTYKAWA!” Iwaizumi bellows his voice, reaching Oikawa over the loud music.
Tooru’s eyes widen, and he stops dancing.
Makki appears next to you and drapes his jacket over your soaked body.
“Iwa, go get his ass; I’ll take her from here.” Hanamaki hollers.
You nod to Iwaizumi, letting him know it's okay, and he runs to Oikawa, who is already screaming for his life.
You lightly laugh, and Makki snickers, grabbing your hand and leading you upstairs into his room.
“As promised, full access to my room; take a shower if you are feeling icky. My closet’s all yours.” He smiles and exits the room.
You holler a quick, “Thanks, Hiro!” as he closes the door behind him.
You head over to his restroom, which, mind you, is really fucking nice. You're about to strip off the sticky shirt and clean off the alcohol on you, but you hear a knock on the door.
You walk over and open the door to which Matsukawa is standing at.
He drags his lazy eyes down your figure, a couple of seconds lingering on your chest where your bra is peeking out from.
“What are you-” You ask before being pushed lightly back.
“Fuck, Y/N. Get out of that shirt.” He groans.
“I mean, I was just about to before you barged in.” You sigh, heading over to Makki’s walk-in closet, looking for a comfortable shirt that could match your skirt.
Matsukawa also walks in and immediately goes to a certain area, as if he knows what's there.
“Here, wear this.” He says, handing you the all-familiar jersey. It's his number as well, number 2.
“No way he has extras of everyone's number.” You snicker.
Matsukawa snorts, “He says he wants it as a memory when we graduate.”
You hum, and the two of you head out of the closet.
But before you went to the bathroom to change, you turned.
“Mattsu?”
“Yeah?” He looks up, a blush on his cheeks at your appearance.
“Why did you follow me up here? And why, out of 16 numbers, hand me yours?”
He stops in his tracks, his eyes widening before they relax, he sighs, and a smirk stretches across his face.
“You want the truth, dove?”
The air-conditioned room starts feeling extremely hot, and you try to relax, but the hairs on the back of your neck are rising as he stalks his way over to you.
Walking backwards, he traps you next to the wall of the bathroom door. The light above the mirror shines out and onto his face.
“Mattsu.” You whisper, trying to get away, but he has complete control over your movements.
He pushes you back completely against the wall, his hands on your waist and his knee between your thighs.
A small moan erupts from your throat, and you turn your head to the side, hiding away from his strong gaze.
He leans down and whispers huskily into your ear, “Seeing you exposed like that and being pulled into Iwaizumi’s arms made me really fucking jealous, princess.”
He nips at your neck, and you whine at the feeling.
“This,” he whispers while dragging the tip of his finger down the middle of your chest to rest at your stomach, “is mine to see.”
“Mattsu…” You groan.
He darkly laughs, “You should know by now, you're mine.”
Matsukawa pulls back, his hooded eyes meeting your sultry gaze.
“But I thought—”
“You thought what? You were mine the moment you became our manager; you were mine from the moment we bunked together on our camping trip; you were mine when you fed me your mom’s cooking; you were mine when I called you cute at the beach.”
You still at his words and feel his hands move towards your bare thighs, spreading them apart.
“Especially that day, Y/N. The entire team heard me; they knew that you were mine. So you thought, what exactly?”
You muster up the courage to say, “I thought you wouldn't reciprocate my feelings.”
He chuckles, "Oh, naive little dove. I did feel the same, I do, and I always will.”
Matsukawa’s lips meet yours, and you gasp into his mouth. You feel his smirk as he pushes his knee closer to your core.
At this point, you were grinding like a bitch in heat on him, and Matsukawa fucking loved it.
His hands made it to your soaked shirt and yanked it off, leaving your upper body almost bare.
You swore you heard a low growl from the back of his throat before he latched onto the mounds of your breasts. His hand sneaked back and unclasped your bra, throwing it across the room.
Matsukawa’s warm mouth left open-mouthed kisses down the expanse of your neck, making sure to leave behind purple bruises to make you his.
He kissed the valley of your chest, where your heart was, and whispered a light, “mine.”
His tongue swirls at the bud of your nipple, and you throw your head back against the wall, hands going to his dark hair, tugging. He tastes the leftover flavour of alcohol on your skin and moves to the other side of your chest, giving your girls fair treatment. You sink lower on his knee and feel your clit getting swollen with beloved attention.
“Mattsu. Bed. Now.”
He released your tit with a low ‘pop’ and smirked at your lustful eyes. He lifts you up and carries you to the bed. You both kick off your shoes and immediately get back to each other's skin.
“Tell me what you want, dove.” Matsukawa moves down to your legs, flipping up your skirt and kissing your inner thighs.
Sighing at the feeling, you murmur, “Your tongue, please, baby. Need you so bad.”
He smiles on your skin. “You sound so fucked out, and I barely touched you, babe.”
You groan as he drags a finger down your clothed slit.
“Shall I eat you out through this lacy number, or be balls deep in you with your panties to the side, hm?”
You can't even speak; your eyes are shut, and beads of sweat are falling from your hairline.
“Just touch me, please; I’ll do anything~”
He kisses your clit through your panties before removing them and throwing them where your shoes are. 
“Y/N” He moves up, tapping on the side of your cheek to open your eyes. “Look at me when I make you come on my tongue.”
Never leaving your gaze, he moves down, his face between your legs, just as you wanted.
He licks a slow, tantalising swipe up your lips to meet your swollen, puffy clit. The tip of his tongue swirls around the bundle of nerves, and he looks up to meet your watery eyes.
"Mattsu, oh my, fuck! Wait, the door is still open!” You screech lightly, trying to push him off even when you don't want to.
“Shut up and listen; do you hear those loud ass fireworks?” He utters against your pussy.
You look out the window, where hundreds of fireworks burst, and the light from them illuminates the dark room. You hadn't even noticed them; your attention was fully on Mattsu.
He continues his attack on your supple flesh, and you arch into the mattress, choking back a loud moan.
“Mattsu~”
“Issei, dove. I want my name to come out of that pretty mouth of yours, understand?”
“Yes, yes, Issei, oh fuckk.” You cried out, your hands lost in his soft hair, as he lapped at your soaking cunt.
A rippling feeling pushed through your lower body as you creamed on Issei’s tongue.
“Thats it, dove, fuck you look so pretty . Need to be in you, please.” Issei rasped while biting your neck.
“Issei, please~ in- in, me ah~” You wantonly moan as he plunges two fingers into your cunt, immediately brushing your G-spot.
Issei rips off his shirt and pulls down his shorts and boxers. You shudder at the utter length of him and pull him into a kiss from the back of his neck. 
Teasingly, your hands feel his abs while moving lower and lower.
Your thumb grazes his slit, and Issei hisses, his face hiding in the crook of your neck. You slowly pump up and down, his precum helping you to his satisfaction.
"Fuck, oh, Jesus, fuck, lord, there, just like that, fucking Christ," he whines, kissing the conjecture between your neck and shoulder.
You laugh. “Taking God’s name in vain?”
He gulps, his voice shaky. “I have no need for a god when I have a goddess like you to worship.”
Issei’s hands gently play with the plush of your stomach as you continue stroking him.
You can hear him, his heartbeat increasing, his temperature rising, his palms getting sweatier, and just when he’s about to feel ecstasy, he grabs both of your hands and pins them above your head.
“No baby, wanna be inside you, pleasee~” He cries out. 
He reaches his hands to the side table next to the bed and says, “gotta be some condoms here-”
“Issei, baby, I'm on the pill.” You pull him back towards you.
“Oh fuck, yes, dove, I get to feel you, all of you.”
You smile gently and bring him into a kiss. At this point, he’s so sex-crazed that he's fucking your mouth with his. 
Issei slowly sits his cock inside you, the feeling of being full, pleasuring you to another level of the universe.
He pulls away, his forehead touches yours, and he kisses the tip of your nose. “Lift your hips for me, dove.”
You comply, and he helps you, digging his fingers into your hips.
“OH FUCKKK~” You jolt, biting the back of your hand to quiet your moans. This new position had you almost fading to black.
“Y/N, don't hide that pretty voice from me now. Everyone’s outside; let me hear you.” He says, in a needy way.
His hips snap with yours, creating a steady rhythm. The sound of skin slapping skin spread across the dark room, and Issei took in the sight of you completely. Eyes full of lust, your cunt wrapped around his cock, legs around his waist—the different colours of the fireworks illuminating your supple body. 
He steadily continues at the same pace, but just when you are about to reach your second high of the night, he loses that rhythm and pulls out.
Holding your hips, he lands on the mattress on his back with you on top. Issei guides your hips and sinks you down his cock.
“Oh Issei, god, oh my , fuck.” This angle had his bulb fucking your cervix, and you swore that the window behind the bed had stars instead of fireworks.
Issei lifted your hips up and down the length of him, and he threw his head back against the bed. “Fuck baby, you feel so good.”
He hiked your skirt up, saw how your pussy wrapped around his twitching cock, and lewdly moaned at the sight. The rhythm continued, and waves of fire pooled in your lower abdomen. 
Again and again and again.
Your thighs flexed as you rode him, tits bouncing; you saw his cock disappearing in your body. Issei’s hands played around with your breasts, teasingly flicking your nipples and kneading the flesh.
Finally, you dissolved into the pleasure as if a tight coil unravelled after being wound up. 
“Issei, baby, im cumming , oh fuck, im cumming, oh godd .”
Fireworks—literally and metaphorically—burst from your vision as you came down from high. 
He let you breathe before pulling out and flipping you on to your back again. Your knees pushed flush against your chest, and he thrust, burying himself inside you again.
You were overstimulated, but you wanted more and more from him.
His hips continued pounding. “Y/N, dove, fuck, can I cum inside, please, baby, please.”
You mewled out a quiet 'yes, baby’ and he took exception to that.
Soon you felt his warm, sticky seed coating your walls, and you came once again.
“Issei~
“Love you, baby; I love you so much.” He says, pulling out.
“I love you too ‘Sei; I love you brighter than these fireworks.” You coo, pulling him into your embrace.
After staying in each other’s embrace for what seems like hours, Issei breaks away and moves down to your overworked pussy.
“Issei~ not again.”
He smiles, kissing your thigh. “Relax; I won't push you.”
You sigh and lie back down, letting him do as he wishes. 
Issei grabs his cum, seeping out from your hole, and pushes it back inside. You gasp, feeling his fingers push in deeper.
"Issei, what are you doing?” You shudder.
He comes back up and pecks your lips, brushing the hair out of your face with his other hand, similarly to that beach day. “Making the best out of a creampie.”
“Ugh, Issei, you're so nasty.” You laugh, playfully hitting his chest.
Your laugh stops as you hear the bustling crowd walk back in. The sounds of the fireworks drifted into a sombre silence. Some are still bursting from far away.
“Issei, we gotta get up.” You say, eyes widening at the open door, worried someone, especially Makki, would walk in.
He sighs lazily, slowly, pulling his fingers out, and you whimper at the sensitivity.
Luckily, the two of you did not make a mess on the bed; just the sheets were tussled.
You slid to the edge of the bed, found your panties and put them on while Issei also fixed himself up. Brushing your skirt down, you wobbled on two feet and slipped on your heels.
You grabbed the forgotten jersey and slipped it on. Issei looked up and saw your new outfit.
“Fuck.” He groans.
“What? Something wrong?” You ask worriedly.
“Nah, I just—I should’ve fucked you with nothing except my jersey on.”
You tremble at his eyes that were oozing with want before proposing, “Let’s get out of here, go home, and do exactly that.”
He smiles and grabs your arm, pulling you into his side. The two of you headed downstairs. No one noticed that you were gone due to the fireworks stealing the attention.
Makki approached you a couple minutes later and said, “Those were some crazy fireworks, right?”
Issei nods. “Definitely better than last year; I had my eyes on one sweet show.”
You blushed at the hidden innuendo he was mentioning. You looked over to Iwaizumi, who smirked at the look of you in Issei’s jersey. You quickly tore your eyes away from his gaze.
“Y/N and I are gonna head out; her heads hurting, imma drop her home.” Issei lies, trying to get away from the party.
Makki looks a bit sad but realises that they are going to meet again tomorrow for practice and lunch. “Yeah, okay, see you both tomorrow. Thank you for coming, Y/N!”
“Of course, Makki, I'll see you tomorrow.” You give him a quick hug and return to Issei’s side.
Before you turn to head to the car, Issei hollers to Makki, “Sorry about the sheets being all wrinkled. I was helping Y/N pick an outfit, and I flopped all over your bed.”
Makki laughs, “What? Like you always do when you come over to game?”
Issei chuckles, and you turn away, hiding from Makki.
That night, at his apartment, no fireworks hid your loud moans as Issei fucked you in nothing but his jersey…in god knows how many positions.
~~~
(Morning, 9:00 AM, Matsukawa Issei’s Apartment)
You had awoken before Issei, brushed your teeth, took a shower, stole his clothes, and made your way to the kitchen to make breakfast for the two of you.
As you rolled the tamagoyaki, a yawn caught your attention. After transferring the tamagoyaki to the plate and turning the stove off, you met Issei. He had his arms folded, leaning into the wall at the threshold of the kitchen.
“Good morning, baby.” You say, walking over to him and kissing his cheek.
He hums, his voice deep and honed, “Morning dove.”
“Breakfast is ready, coffee is set, and two spoons of sugar, just how you like it.” You smile.
“I should be doing this for you.” He whispers, kissing your forehead.
“Next time,” you promise.
The two of you had breakfast in comfortable silence until a prolonged buzzing at intervals came from the bedroom. The two of you ignored it until after washing the dishes and cleaning up. 
Issei went to the room and grabbed both phones, handing yours to you. He plopped down on the couch next to you.
“Ha, it's both of us, the Seijoh group.” He laughs.
You open the Seijoh GC and scroll all the way to the top. Issei doesn't bother opening his; he looks at yours.

----
You slowly turn over to Issei, and his eyes are full of mirth. A couple seconds of silence are broken by loud laughter that shakes the apartment. You're clutching at your stomach, and Issei is hiding in your neck, laughing even harder.
“I accidentally forgot it there, oh my god.” You giggle.
Issei calms down from the laughter, still smiling when he opens his phone. You look at your phone, anticipating what he will type.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You set your phone down and stretch your arms over your head. Issei’s head is on your lap, and you brush through his dark hair.
“Shall we get ready?” You ask.
He gets up and pulls you into his lap, kissing you deeply. “10 more minutes.”
You laugh into his kiss, wrapping your arms around his neck. “10 minutes only, promise?”
Issei hums, biting your bottom lip before whispering, “Promise.”
From that day, when you saw fireworks, you thought of that night. You thought of Issei and his gentle embrace, which lulled you to peace. You thought of his touch, which set you afire. 
You thought of home.

THIS FUCKING FILM BARBIE MOVIE *EUGHAHH*
Spoilers. GO SEE THIS FILM IF YOU HAVEN’T ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Barbie movie review from someone who can’t string a sentence together without keyboard slamming or yelling.
How queer coded the discontinued/weird barbie’s are PAINS ME. THANK YOU GRETA MY GOD.
Allan is for the all the gender non conforming mfs but also he’s so ✨bisexual✨ HELP. Like he’s not barbie, he’s not Ken, he’s just in between he’s to kenly for the barbies and too barbie-y for the Ken’s so he’s like his own category please that’s my existence 99% of the time.
Like he’s not manly (kenough) to be accepted by the Ken’s but also the barbies don’t really pay much attention to him either???!? Who hangs out with Allan! Allan is ALONE. Allan has no one to relate to because THERE’S ONLY ONE ALLAN. He feels so fucking disconnected from both sides of the spectrum, he has no one to connect with, he’s just THERE. He’s just ALLAN. There’s only one of him he doesn’t have the same connection that the barbies have and the Ken’s have because they ignore his fucking existence.
Also I’m MAD about midge. Why wasn’t she in any of the film she and Allan should’ve been like power duo. Also barbies little sisters like do they exist. Also where do the Ken’s live? Do the live at beach? So many questions. (I think they’re gonna do a sequel, like- I’ve just got a gut feeling. I sense the sequel material yk yk.)
EUGHUAHHAH
Weird barbie? The experience of most queer girls. Excluded ✅ Called weird ✅ Funky hair ✅
Like she knows what it’s like to be cast as the dog and the dad in games of house. She did the man voices for the Ken’s because she’s just ‘better at them.’ She made her Ken’s leave for work trips so that the barbie bffs could stay in the dream house together. She put her barbies on her disco ball and re-enacted the Miley Cyrus Wrecking Ball music video. She is me I am her. She took the faces off of her dolls with nail polish remover and drew them back on with sharpies and cut up their hair and gave them Ken’s leather jackets. I LOVE WEIRD BARBIE AHAKGAHA.
But also stereotypical barbie is such a good representation of what growing up is like tho. Being a woman is so fucking terrifying. Growing up is terrifying and this movie absolutely subverted all my expectations like I thought it’d be some “we have to not let this little girl grow up! Ah- she’s 13 now she’s getting rid of her dolls, no don’t grow up you’re still young, yippee we saved the day now we can all play dolls.” BUT NO! They respected the fact that we all grow up and at a certain point we stopped playing with dolls. BUT ALSO Gloria shows the fact that a love of playing with dolls doesn’t always end for women, we still have such fond memories to look back on and some even relive those memories when they have daughters of their own.
The Ken’s are so interesting too tbf. The alt-right pipeline is so dangerous for impressionable minds (like Ken’s) and so many men fall victim to it, be it intentional or not. The patriarchy does not just hurt women it hurts men to.
This movie is such a great explanation for feminism imo, feminism isn’t to put men down because no one benefits from the patriarchy except those in a position of power.
This movie tells the story of women, and how damaging the patriarchy can be to society and tells it in such a unique, fun and beautiful way. EEK I LOVE ITTTT!!!
P.s can you tell I had fun with the text colours AGAAGAHAGAG

Day 30 Realizing their feelings
30 day challenge notes: quantity over quality, limited editing, stand-alone/unrelated stories unless specifically stated otherwise, not always tiva, chronologically randomly set in whatever pre-s11 season seems to fit
A/N: Tiva sequel to Ladybugs, it's not smut, but maybe don't read it at work when your boss is standing right next to you...unless you like awkward situation. This was brought to you by @hopeless-nostalgiac comment on that fic, and a migraine which prevented me from coming up with something new today...
Tag for blocking/following: 30 days of spring
Prompt: Realizing their feelings
Word count: somewhere around 1000
-
She was halfway through removing her shirt when there was a knock on the door. For a moment, she paused, staring at the door with enough intensity to hopefully make whoever was on the other side leave. Pulling her shirt down with a heavy sigh, she was at the door in a few strides, and after a longing look in the direction of her bathroom, opened the door.
At the sight of Tony’s  half grin, the heaviness in her body seemed to double. She checked her watch, and cut him off before he could so much as greet her. “I’ve been home for less than ten minutes.” She walked towards a nearby cabinet and grabbed her gun. “I haven’t showered, I haven’t eaten since breakfast.” She holstered the gun, turned towards Tony just as her stomach rumbled, and noticed the pizza box he was holding. Some of her frustration and fatigue disappeared at the prospect of food, and she grabbed her backpack off the floor next to the couch. “I suppose I can eat on the way."
Tony frowned. “On the way where?”
“The Navy Yard,” Ziva said reaching for her coat.
“I...” Tony pushed past her into her living room, closing the door behind him, and placed the pizza on the table. “You want to do this at the office?”
Ziva dropped her backpack and coat at the door and walked over to him, the smell of pizza too hard to resist. Through a mouth full of pizza, she asked, “What was the breakthrough?”
Tony’s confusion was overridden by her tongue darting out to lick some grease from her lips. “This morning?”
“What? Do we have to go the office, or arrest someone somewhere?” She took another bite, and looked at him desperately fatigued. “Please don’t tell me it’s another stakeout.”
Tony glanced around, trying to figure out if he had completely misunderstood their breakthrough conversation that morning. A very enticing breakthrough, the thought of which had kept him on his feet during the long and hectic day that had followed. “No, it’s...I’m not here about the case.”
Ziva swallowed the last bite of her slice, and wiped her mouth with a napkin. Feeling decidedly less frustrated, she waited patiently for him to elaborate.
“I thought we, um…” He scratched at the stubble on his cheek. “We agreed to a…a revenge McGee workshop this morning.”
Ziva’s eyes went wide as she remembered their conversation. It had slipped her mind as more disturbing details of the marine’s death had come to light. “I’m sorry, I-“
“Hey, it’s been a long day, it was early, we were still tired from the last case, it’s fine if you changed your mind. ”Trying hard not to let his disappointment, not to mention his breaking heart, show, he shrugged, and added, “We could glue him to his keyboard again, instead.” He tapped his right temple. “Can’t write about us if he can’t type.”
Ziva stepped in closer until they were almost touching. “That is not very original.” She plucked at non-existent lint on his coat. “There’s something on your coat, you should take it off.”
Tony stared down awkwardly at his coat, then shrugged out of it quickly, remembering the ladybugs that had hitchhiked on his jacket into the car that morning.
At the sight of his shoulder holster, Ziva bit her bottom lip. “You are not playing fair.”
Tony puffed out his chest, and stared at her with hooded eyes. “Just trying to play to my strengths.”
“Hmm,” Ziva said thoughtfully, staring at her hands as she ran them over his chest and shoulders, linking them behind his neck. Standing on tiptoes, she grazed his lips with hers. “It’s working,” she said huskily, and pulled his head down to kiss him, draw him in, taste him.
His left arm snaked around her waist, holding her loosely, and he grinned against her lips. “You taste like pizza.”
“You taste like whisky.” She pulled back enough to judge his sobriety, not that he seemed drunk when she opened the door.
“One drink, before I left.” He shrugged, then pecked her lips. “Guess I needed a bit of liquid courage.”
His fingers moved against the base of her skull and he kissed her again, slowly, lazily, which poked the flicker inside her into an erratic flame. She gently tugged at his hair, urging him closer, but all he did was slow down even more and smile against her lips.
“McGee is gonna hate this,” he murmured.
“What?” Her brows knit, but before her mind could think of anything other than his hands now clutching her firmly to him, his lips had moved on to her neck, fanning the erratic flame into a roaring fire.
His hand slipped from her lower back to her ass, and as he pulled her to him roughly, she let out a whimper.
Her pulse stumbled over itself, there was no reason for him to have this effect on her. Not this fast. She pushed herself against him, not caring of how needy it made her look. Strong, nimble fingers slipped under her shirt, sending shivers up and down her spine as they inched closer and closer to her bra strap.
He kissed a feather light trail from her jaw line to her mouth, leaving every nerve ending his lips had touched tingling and begging for more. Claiming her mouth as his so boldly there was no doubt in her mind that this was how it should be, how it always should have been.
As his left hand moved lower again, barely slipping underneath the waistband of her pants, the fingers of his other hand trailed lightly up and down her neck, making her knees go weak. The barest whimper escaped her mouth, right into his, and he drew back just enough to stare at her, willing her to open her eyes.
And when she did, all she saw there was years of pent up lust, desire…love. Her breath hitched, and she bit her bottom lip, trying to regain some semblance of control, but all it did was remind her of his taste, how he had sucked on her lip, how his scent seemed to permeate her consciousness.
“You know…” he rasped, and cleared his throat, blinking rapidly.
She kissed the corner of his mouth, inhaled deeply and nuzzled his cheek, the stubble eliciting new cravings she tried to ignore.
“If we do this,” he breathed heavily, fingers tickling along the nape of her neck. “On Gibbs’ desk, McGee will have a heart attack.”
“Tony,” she sighed in his ear, as his lips left another trail down her cheek, her jaw, her neck.
He hummed against her tender skin.
“Why do you keep bringing up McGee?” Her eyelids fluttered as he nipped, then licked, then pulled back without a warning.
There was no more than a few inches between them, but in that moment it may as well have been the Grand Canyon. She looked at him questioningly, trying to gather her thoughts, trying not to miss his lips against her skin.
“Just so we’re clear,” he said in a low voice, locking eyes with her. “We’re not...doing this to annoy McGee, right?”
“Yes, I mean, no, I…” She closed her eyes and tried to tamp down the building frustration. “I do not care about McGee…” She shook her head. “I do not want to think about…” Her gaze drifted to his mouth, every nerve ending in her body craving to be touched by those soft, skillful lips. “I want to think about you…” She blinked slowly, then forced her gaze to meet his. “I don’t want to think,” she husked, getting lost in the depth of love in his eyes. “I just want you.”
His face relaxed as soon as her words registered, and he seemed to fold around her, cocooning her, his forehead resting against hers. He swallowed hard, then breathed out her name. “I want you, too.”

Have you see Riot talking about Corey on her tumblr? Not only talking about you, but I’ve never seen such homophobia from someone. Good gosh I knew she’s excusing racism but I didn’t think she’d throw homophobia into the mix.
Ohhhh, is she still having a tantrum??? Wow that's a whole month she's been crying, whining and playing the name game deflection game...
Oh shug dont be surprised she's even gonna after Shakira fans when shakira started following Henry a few years ago...
She's a Keyboard Nazi Terrorist
She bullies, threatens and mentally abuses those who don't cave in to her and the other 3 cock sucker's demands
I mean think about it shug, what grown women saves screenshots of posts from ig accounts that tried to expose Covidcuso and that are now removed from Instagram... she must have a SD card full of bull shit saved up for what exactly? To dox and bully former accounts that did not comply with her and her mummy? Ridiculous...
She can kiss my hair homo ass!
All she's doing is proving she has no life, no job, no husband or children to be on tumblr and Instagram everyday editing picture, photoshopping so called evidence and making creepy videos of the weirdos... And spewing her racism and threats like she's actually going to physically do something to someone... oh honey please i have a gun license given to me by the state of Texas, one of our mottos here is "Shot first, Ask questions later" and trust me i wouldn't hesitate to do so shug.
She's pretty much her mother's daughter a ugly person with a mean girl complex and white privileged.
She's Ratalie
If the stan would put this same effort in getting a job and getting laid like she does with bullying and threatening people behind a keyboard, she would have a decent almost liveable life
But no, she's a worthless waste of human skin and organs with a sad life... because deep down inside she knows mummy and daddy will never notice her no matter how hard she tries to.
Its been 4 years give it up Karen 😂

drastic + vincent please :3
DRASTIC [x] characters >> vincent mayer (oc), vitali dobrynin (oc) context >> july 2077; vincent and vitali are in tucson to try and figure out a way to stop vincent from dying after johnny silverhand has been successfully removed from his head total >> 1.6k words warnings >> death mention, hospital, needles, surgery mention
‘Vincent. Can you hear me?’
Wakey wakey.
Vincent could barely open his eyes, eyelids and head still heavy with sleep. The air surrounding him was surprisingly cool; as far as he was concerned it was the middle of summer, and he was in Arizona of all places. Wasn’t it supposed to be sweltering?
Someone gently took his wrist. The action itself did not hurt, nor did the feeling that followed– but it caused him instant discomfort that bordered on pain, the sensation cramping up his entire arm and it took him a second to realize it was the work of a needle that was stuck in the top of his hand.
He was in the hospital. He had just gotten out of surgery.
His eyes finally opened, bright light pouring in from the window on his left and momentarily blinding him as he groaned and tried to adjust. The nurse beside him gently placed his hand back on the mattress and hummed a song as she checked something on the screens, gloved fingers rapidly tapping on the keys of the digital keyboard as she typed in some information.
The soft hum of the devices around him was like a lullaby and Vincent slowly exhaled as he closed his eyes again; but a sudden weight on his chest– as well as the sudden realization of what the surgery had been for to begin with– violently ripped him back to reality and he gasped for air, as if all oxygen had suddenly been taken from his lungs.
‘Easy,’ the nurse said, placing a hand on his shoulder to prevent him from sitting up. ‘You’re alright, Vincent. Everything is fine. Try to breathe as normal.’
Easier said than done. He had a fucking cybernetic lung now– and sure, it worked, but the idea alone was more than enough to cause involuntary tears to well up in the corners of his eyes as he could feel his irregular heartbeat in every single inch of his body and his unstable breathing scraped painfully past the dry inside of his throat.
Ever since he had arrived in Tucson it had been one surgery after another. Preventive measures for the most of it– save from the removal of a bullet shard that had still been stuck in his head, the last bit Viktor hadn’t been able to dig out before– replacing damaged organs where possible and removing previously installed implants to minimize risks.
And none of it had helped so far.
Vincent was still very much dying, despite all their efforts. Initially thought to be the damage the Relic had caused in his body, irreparable at that; not so irreparable anymore but with all holes patched and the ship still sinking, he couldn’t help but wonder if Soulkiller was still working its magic.
Sure, the program had been on the Relic itself– but then again, all technology had gotten damaged by that bullet and with Johnny’s engram overwriting his psyche and then his psyche overwriting all of that to separate himself from the biochip, who knows what kind of malware had managed to sneak its way in in the meantime?
‘There’s a visitor waiting for you,’ the nurse said, shooting Vincent a gentle smile after he had managed to settle down again. ‘Would you like me to get him for you?’
‘Yes please, thank you,’ Vincent replied, not needing to ask for a name to know exactly who she meant, and he couldn’t stop his heartbeat from rising in excitement and relief when she left the room to call the man in.
It still managed to catch him off guard, to see Vitali Dobrynin out of his usual work attire. A sight he had gotten to grow more familiar with over the last few months– the whole situation with Johnny had driven Vitali out of the office often enough for Vincent to catch him in simple sweatpants and a hoodie on the regular– yet it still felt a little strange to him. “The man sleeps in a suit,” Jackie had once jokingly told him. Vincent wouldn’t have batted an eye.
‘How do you feel?’ Vitali softly asked as he sat down on the edge of the bed, sleeves of his flannel loosely rolled up and only partially covering his forearms. His hands were clasped together on his lap– for once not a single ring adorning his slender fingers– and he nervously ran his thumb over the side of his index finger.
‘Little strange,’ Vincent admitted as he reached out to take Vitali’s hand in his own. ‘The more I think about breathing, the harder it gets. I know it’s just between my ears, but– you know.’
Vitali quickly nodded, a light smile on his face as he shuffled a little closer and leaned in to press a kiss on Vincent’s temple. Which, of course, also caught him off guard; with the complete chaos of the aftermath of the attack on Mikoshi he had continuously forgotten about the fact he was dating the fixer now, and now that they could finally have some time for themselves it still did not feel entirely real to him.
‘Don’t you think all this is– I dunno, maybe a lil’ drastic?’ Vincent quietly asked, allowing the other man to cup his cheek and run his fingers down his face. ‘I mean– I don’t feel much different than before. Just increases risk of cyberpsychosis if anything. Even with all the removed implants.’
‘You might not feel it now but something is still happening in your body,’ Vitali simply replied, the pre-programmed answer he had been giving Vincent for weeks now. ‘Sooner or later you will start feeling it. And then you’ll be glad we had precautions done before it got too bad.’
‘Costs a shit-fuckton of money.’
‘Which I have.’
‘Well, I don’t.’
‘You don’t need to.’
Vincent clenched his jaw and exhaled sharply, the action causing his chest to tighten a little and he winced, brief panic overtaking him; but nothing else happened, the cybernetic lung doing its job perfectly fine, and he allowed himself to relax again.
It did not feel right to let Vitali pay for his surgeries. He had done so from the fucking beginning, no less– when Vincent had gotten a correction surgery on his chest and Vitali had told Viktor to put it on his tab, despite Vincent continuously telling him he’d get the eddies himself after his recovery.
But Vitali was a stubborn man– painfully so, insisting on helping Vincent wherever and whenever he could. Out of the goodness of his heart, of course; but definitely so out of guilt as well, having to live with the knowledge he had not been able to save T-Bug and Jackie and because of that so desperately trying to save Vincent while he still could.
If he even could.
Vincent lowered his gaze, softly biting the inside of his lip as Alt’s words echoed through his head again. He was dying; there was no denying it, even if he didn’t feel it just yet, and if they wouldn’t figure out what exactly was going on with him he wouldn’t make it to the end of the year.
If he had done the calculations right, he’d be on his deathbed on Vitali’s birthday of all days. He couldn’t do that to him.
But perhaps Vitali was right. Perhaps the surgeries did help and would at least give him a little longer than what Alt had predicted. Perhaps Alt had not even told him the truth; perhaps whatever was going on with him in that moment was only temporary and the effects would wear off the more time would pass.
But with more and more of his body turning into a machine, Vincent could not help but wonder if it wouldn’t just have been easier to transfer his psyche onto a fucking biochip too.
Would’a been a copy, V, you know that. At least you’re still you, now.
But for how much longer?
Even Johnny– or, well the voice in Vincent’s head pretending to be Johnny– couldn’t answer that.
Vitali suddenly turned, pulling his legs onto the bed and moving closer until he was sat directly next to Vincent, leaning back against the raised mattress. He wrapped his arm around his shoulders– and Vincent in return moved closer without hesitation, burying his face in his boyfriend’s chest, grateful the painkillers were numbing most of the pain in his upper body.
‘We will figure this out, my love,’ Vitali softly mumbled and planted a kiss on the top of Vincent’s head. ‘I promise. I’m not giving up on you.’
He had paused all his business and tossed aside all his responsibilities to help Vincent find a cure. Had left Night City behind– had left his business in the hands of Mikhail– and even now weeks later he was still there by his side, paying for his surgeries and keeping him company through it all. Of course Vitali was not giving up on him– and Vincent had never received such devotion before, to the point he had no idea what to do now that it had fallen right into his lap.
‘I love you,’ he simply whispered in return, on the verge of choking back tears when he felt Vitali momentarily tense up. ‘I love you so much.’
He didn’t know how much time he had left. He didn’t know if Alt was right, he didn’t know if any of what they were doing there was helping him at all–
But at least he wasn’t alone.
At least he had Vitali.

Hello! Welcome to my rather extended effort to make a classic-style-ish Mega Man game. My name's Nevi, my main is @afniel, and I'm here to be everyone's problem. I used to be tracking progress for this on Twitter, but we all know how that went, so now I'm here instead.
First, the top 3 questions I tend to get:
What is this?
A fan game, created in the NES style. Well. Eventually it will be. Making a game is not a quick or easy task.
What's it about?
When I was young, I always thought it was boring of Capcom to not give Roll her own game. I got older and I still think that, but I've also thought other things along the way, like, why do these games always raise such alarming existential questions and then completely forget they happened? How long would it take to learn a functional amount of music theory? Is it Metool, Mettaur, or Metall? Whatever they're called, why aren't there a lot more of these little guys in the games?
Basically, I'm giving Roll the game I always thought she deserved.
Can I play it?
Currently, there's really nothing to play. I've got the basic engine functioning quite well and a good chunk of the visual assets finished to a working degree, but refining everything, getting the gameplay as tight as it needs to be, and making sure nobody's AI breaks or sucks is a pretty big job.
That all said, my first real roadmap goal is to have a single-stage playable demo. While I don't have any notion of a release date for that, I am working steadily towards it, so please stay tuned!
The rest of the FAQ is long and maybe less interesting, so I'll stash it under a cut to save you a little scrolling.
The Game Itself
Is it going to be girly?
Probably not as girly as you're imagining, if you're asking that. After all, there's still explosions, boss fights, insta-death spikes, a ton of weapons to choose from, and quite a lot of shooting. Just because the main character is in a dress won't change the core feel of the game, nor will it be easier than other MM games.
Also, a thing being girly isn't bad anyway. It's just a style.
What makes this different from any other MM game/fangame?
Fair question! I'm going to be a little secretive about it though and just say 'choice.' It's a thing that the MM series isn't known for giving players, outside of what order you want to explode the robot masters. I think it could be more interesting than that.
That said, the mainline classic MM games don't have a whole lot to distinguish them from each other, and they're still fun and each one of them is someone's all-time fav game, so even if it just ends up being Another MM Game, that's still not a bad crowd to be in.
Are we fighting Dr. Wily? What's the plot?
:)
Some of that will come with the eventual demo release. The rest will be on full release. I don't want to spoil it up front, you know?
You will get to see some familiar faces for sure, I'll say that much.
Will this game be accessible?
I want it to be! I think games in general have a lot of work to do to become more accessible to disabled gamers, and as a disabled gamer, I want to try and do my due diligence in that.
It is playable on both keyboard (not comfortable) and controller (a lot more comfortable), and while the controls are fairly simple, there is already a fully-functional option to switch between classic MM style down+jump to slide, and MMX style dedicated single button slide.
Remapping buttons is somewhat beyond the scope of the engine I'm using, which is unfortunate, and all the more reason for me to learn something more flexible like Godot.
I'm trying to choose palettes for things that should be eyestrain-friendly. Flashing will be kept to a minimum in the default game mode, and I plan on having a sensory-friendly mode with no flashing whatsoever and certain other effects lessened/changed/removed. Of course, I can't guarantee that certain patterns won't affect sensitive people regardless, but I'm going to give it a good try.
Depending on how easy the game engine makes sensory-friendly mode, it may end up being a separate download version, but I hope not, that's just not as good.
Alternate difficulty modes are also something I want to do! I just haven't looked at implementation yet, but it should be pretty easy.
Game Development Stuff
What are you using to make MMR?
The engine itself is in Pixel Game Maker, which is kind of an underdog DIY game engine and if I'd really been thinking I'd probably have started it in Godot or something, but I'm already here and honestly, I like how it works, so I'm keeping it. The assets are entirely made in Aseprite, and the music is entirely Famitracker, with a little use of Audacity to make sure tracks loop properly and to get things into the right format.
Very few visual assets are taken from the games directly, mostly some enemies and most of the sound effects (because those are not something I want to try to recreate using only Famitracker—I only have so many hours in a day).
How NES-like are we talking, here?
I'm aiming for NES-like in the way that Sonic Mania aimed for Genesis/Master System-like: the style matches, the limitations are mostly observed, but certain limitations are disregarded when it would be extremely awesome to do so.
Some examples: I'm very fastidious about color palettes per tile and per minor enemy sprite; I'm less fastidious about color palettes onscreen at a time and color palettes per boss sprite. I'm not trying to replicate the sprites-per-scanline flicker. Number of frames per animation isn't something I'm really considering as long as it looks visually appropriate. I'm sticking with 2A03 music, except for where I mean business, and then I may whip out the VRC6 channels instead.
So no, this wouldn't run verbatim on an actual NES, even if you recoded it in 6503 Assembly, but you would be able to get quite close.
How did you learn to make pixel art?
Well, when I was a wee little neurodivergent child, one of my favorite hobbies was making tiles and characters in MS Paint and building big collages out of them. I made a lot of beehives, for some reason...
Then I became a medium-sized neurodivergent teenager, got really into RPG Maker 2000, and the sprites and tiles were not to my liking, so I started editing them and eventually making my own from scratch.
I'm now a fairly normal-sized neurodivergent adult, and making pictures out of little dots is still a lot of fun, especially with a harshly constrained palette. Doing NES-like graphics just kind of comes naturally after all that.
How did you learn to make music?
Honestly? I just began throwing myself at it. My first attempts were unabashedly bad. When things didn't make sense and I couldn't get them to sound right, which was all the time, I looked them up. Starting with general chord theory was what really made it begin to click. The first thing I composed and kept was the Lagoon Stage music, and not coincidentally it's been through the most refactors as well. Coming from an art background where I'm very used to the Ugly Painting Stage of any given piece has definitely helped with patience, too. The important thing is to just keep beating your head against it. It's frustrating, but you only learn to make music by making music.
Every track on the OST represents about two days of feverishly slamming notes together for four-six hours a day, preceded by one-four whole months of tapping and humming random things until one of them ignites something in my brain that goes, "Oh, I know how the rest of this should go!"
How did you learn to code?
Well, honestly, I didn't; PGM is a visual scripting engine, so everything pretty much looks like flowcharts, and the number of functions is kind of constrained. Every object in the game is a state machine, so that's pretty much the paradigm I understand. I could not code my way out of a paper sack in any actual language.
That being said, I do understand the core concepts of what programming is, and most of that I learned by watching Retro Game Mechanics Explained on YouTube until I suddenly understood what 6502 Assembly was all about and everything else just kind of made sense. I don't know either! It's a little weird. But it did work, so I can't complain.
Is this related to [Other Fan Project]?
Nope, it's not part of or related to any other fanworks. I'm a solo dev working on just this one project right now. (However, if you're making a classic or MMX-style game and need pixel art assets, I'm open to talk about that! Please note though that I do not work for free.)
Your robot master has the same name/concept as [Other Fan Character].
Sorry if that's the case! There are so many really stellar MM fan characters out there that a little name/concept-sharing is basically unavoidable. No infringement is intended, no profit will be made from this game, and I'm uninvolved enough with the general fandom at large that I can pretty confidently say I didn't even know about your character. Take it as a case of Great Minds Think Alike, if it happens.
Do you have anywhere else I can keep up with this?
I sure do! I've got a Discord specifically for it where I toss a lot of WIP sprites and such, and that's where eventual playtesting will happen too if you're into that sort of thing, and a Trello that I don't always remember to update, but it exists at least!
Mega Man R Secret Gamedev Clubhouse Discord
Trello Roadmap (when I remember to update it...)
What's the pixel art in your banner?
That was just me greebling at random for practice and funsies. The full image isn't used anywhere as-is, but I did end up using some parts of it in the tiles.
