~🌴Previous | Arousal August Master list 

Jisung was utterly hopelessly in love with you. He was blown away when you banged into him while moving in and he’s been in love with you ever since. Sure, his love could be called an obsession, you didn’t actually know his name nor that you were his neighbor, nor the hidey hole that he had dug to peer into your room.

Jisung, by some intense digging and a little rusty hacking skills, figured out that the layout to each apartment was mirrored. Which meant that the two of you shared a wall in your bedrooms. Jisung didn’t actually peer into your room, per say. He set up a tiny camera lens and the video fed into a program that he watched on the daily while he worked for his online security firm in his apartment.

At first, Jisung was just curious about you, his darling. Did you hum while you cleaned? What was your favorite color you tended to wear? Which side of the bed did you sleep on? What days did you shower? Then those thoughts got dirty when he caught footage of you masturbating. And you were not a vanilla girl--oh no. Jisung was salivating when he watched you use your egg vibrator and put it in your ass. The dildo you had? A monster tentacle thing that had a suction cup that you set up against the wall and you fucked yourself on it. The list of kinks was a long one.

Jisung was practically giddy. There wasn’t a lot Jisung said no to. He could be whatever you wanted. He was desperate to hear you whisper his name when you masturbated but you frustratingly never did. Did you not love him? Was he not good enough? Suddenly all the toys pissed him off. So he hacked your electric keypad, went into your apartment and stole them all.

He watched greedily as you were flabbergasted when all your toys were gone but what were you going to do? Were you going to report to your landlord that a thief had come into your apartment and stole all your sex toys?

Of course, who did your landlord send to fix up your electronic keypad but Jisung himself. He didn’t pay any rent while he took care of all the cyber/electronic security of the apartment building. You absolutely adored Jisung, he could tell. You laughed at all his jokes, throwing your head back and your belly laugh was adorable. When you two exchanged social media info--which Jisung already had, duh--he knew he was in a perfect position now.

The first time you called him over for a booty call, he was so excited, he was practically vibrating. He had to remember to add in ‘travel time’ so that you didn’t figure out that he was your neighbor. Jisung was so desperate to get inside you, to feel how wet and slippery you were for him. But the more nervous he was, the more it pushed his persona up of being the charming, confident security tech guy. So he let you fuck him on your bed, reverse cowgirl, where he kept his arms crossed behind his head and your hands braced on his ankles as you rode him.

But when Jisung watched the footage back, he wasn’t satisfied. What he hadn't seen was the totally bored expression on your face and the obvious hint that you had faked your orgasm. His persona had not worked. Of course it hadn't! You were his darling. You were made for him and clearly you needed his genuine self. How silly of Jisung to pretend to be someone, anyone other than himself.

So, even though it took some cajoling, Jisung convinced you to invite him over for a second booty call. He was his genuine self, smiling nervously and offering you flowers. Your disposition changed from one of discontent to hopeful.

When you took him to your bed, Jisung suggested the face-to-face position, the opposite of spooning. You looked at him quizzically after he ate you out to your first orgasm but agreed to it. Jisung ran his hand down the side of your face when he entered you and groaned loudly. He pressed his lips together and closed his eyes, because if felt so fucking good to finally be inside of you.

“Are you okay?” Your melodic voice asked.

“You feel so good,” Jisung whimpered.

You flexed your hips and Jisung gasped. “Wait, I’m not ready! Wai--” Jisung whined as you clenched down on him.

“Something wrong?” You purred this time and Jisung shivered. He knew it. All he had to do was act like his true self and you would thrive.

“Your pussy is so good to me,” Jisung babbled, “I can barely--hold off--”

“Aw,” You said in a degrading voice, “You gonna nut inside of me just being in there?”

Jisung’s eyes almost rolled into the back of his head. “No,” He said with a frown.

You began to wave your hips, moving Jisung in and out of you and Jisung cried out. “Please!”

“Are you even going to make it before I come?” You tsked.

Jisung’s eyes snapped up to meet yours, well aware of how you didn’t come the first time you two had sex. “You have to come before me.”

You chuckled. “Is that a fact?”

Jisung put on a face of determination, which you found cute. “I can do it.”

Jisung gasped and groaned as you set the pace, enjoying the feel of his dick moving in and out of your pussy. His gaze never left your face as he continued to pet and stroke your head, like he had longed to do since the first day he found you masturbating. The image of you holding the back of your thighs, your legs spread and the silicone strap trailing from your anus took him by surprise and he almost came.

“I’m close, Jisung, just hold on a bit longer,” You encouraged him.

“I can do it,” Jisung repeated again and again, trying not to buck into your warmth and speed up his orgasm.

You watched with amusement as Jisung stopped thinking and just focused on your pussy. He was a babbling mess, his mouth never stopped running, but all his words were about your pussy. Drool cutely came out the corners of his mouth and tiny uh uh uh’s as you searched out your own release. You came quietly, too used to masturbating in the quietness of your room. Jisung was able to watch as your eyebrows furrowed and your feet went to points but you, alas, still didn’t say his name.

True to his word, he didn’t come until you had your orgasm. Jisung let out a sigh of content and literally nutted as soon as he felt your pussy walls flutter around his sensitive cock. He cried out with a desperate noise. He unloaded in the condom that you insisted he wear. He wished you had let him fuck you raw. Nothing like a creampie to claim a darling.

“That’s so much better than masturbating to your masturbating,” Jisung sighed. “Still not going to return your toys though. Haven’t heard you say my name while you came.”

“...what?!” You said in surprise.

Oops, the cat was out of the bag now. Luckily he had complete control over your electronic lock. Nothing a few hours of tying you up and convincing you he loved you utterly and completely wouldn’t fix. He hoped.

TG ‘86/TGM  Leverage AU in which Mav and Ice are the only remaining members of the old squad but then a new insane job that involves destroying a huge corporation that’s killing a small town or something like that comes along and they need a new team, so Ice gets his ~old contacts Cyclone and Warlock into finding them a team of proper ~~experts~~ to team up with Mav again.

Character ramble under the cut but I’m just, shakes fist, THINKING SO HARD ABOUT THIS. Just this heist team-found family shenanigans of old criminals putting a wholeass team together and them becoming family.

And then we get, of course: - Iceman as the mastermind/the brain. Ice Cold plans, no mistakes. Maybe he’s not as insane as Mav but his plans? Flawless. - Maverick as the partner-in-crime/master criminal, of course. Man was a CIA cold war spy who simply “disappeared” at some point, never to be found. Became a legend where criminals were concerned. Dead? Alive? Impossible to catch. Some people might even believe he was D.B. Cooper and all. Man is just impossible to catch and does whatever he wants. Too chaotic. (Insert backstory.) - Rooster, Goose’s son*, as the hitter/muscle/brawn/physically trained bastard, the field specialist with a random bunch of skillsets (he plays piano? getaway driver? cook? sing?) that would make him a very decent spy if only he didn’t have a TEMPER, so in general he’s just VERY GOOD at everything else that doesn’t require direct acting or talking too much; *adjacent story with being Mav and Ice’s surrogate son after Goose’s death, etc etc - Hangman as the reckon/spy/grifter, man’s got charm for days, can play any part and has the lightest hands in the business, catch-me-if-you-can type. Nothing gets past him. Watch the hands, not the mouth might be his biggest trick. Getting him into the job? Was a job in itself. Renowned art thief/white collar criminal. Foster kid who got adopted into a rich family and learned how to act the part maybe?  - Phoenix as the thief, safe-cracker, stealth skills to the max, will break in and out of any vault, security code, lock and key. Will get in and out through any vent, limbo skills against safety lasers to the max. Also a proper martial artist. Ex-CIA who wanted to do good but turns out being like that doesn’t really help anyone. - Bob as the specialist. Phoenix’s partner in crime & best friend, the one who maps out the territory, her guy in the chair (and ultimately the team’s). He’s the one who knows the places, schedules, everything there is about their plans. Has NO social skills alright but he’ll have everything memorized to a T.  Don’t put him to directly interact with the targets, though. No sad backstory, he really just decided to Robin Hood the gig after realizing the insurance companies he tested security systems for were absolutely corrupt and screwing up their clients. - Fanboy as, of course, the hacker & gadget guy. The guy in the chair. He’s not the one to draw plans but he’s the one who help make it all happen, is a huge dork and knows way too much not only about pop culture but about pretty much everything culture. IT genius, definitely broke into the Pentagon systems and got himself into hot water. Payback was his saving grace. You know. The weapons specialist/assassin. The nickname comes with a reason. Mellow dude, another former CIA you don’t wanna piss off. The team hopes they don’t need to use his skills but you won’t get a better sharpshooter in the business. He usually sits with Mickey during their assignments and helps him out with the tech prep. - Coyote as the fixer, he didn’t start as Hangman’s partner but they did a lot of work together so they’re happy to be in the same crew together. Not a criminal as his main profession but he’s ‘the guy who knows a guy who knows a guy’, he’s got the inside, the networking, he can sell anything to anyone, knows everyone, is generally well-loved by the underground community. His main job? Family’s pawn shop. Ends up roped in because he cares about Jake and hey, why not. - Halo, Fritz, Omaha, Yale & Harvard as the guest-in-a-while with different needs to fill in. Omaha & Halo as the decoy/bait, being models as their actual job but they’re friends with Hangman! Fritz as another hacker, Fanboy loves him but their styles are just too wildly different so he brings him in when they need extra juice. Yale & Harvard as underground number runners, the counting cards type people that you DON’T wanna piss off, usually they run casinos to the ground and disappear.

Did I think too much about this? Yes. Did I actually think HARD about it? Yes. Am I considering writing? Maybe. If no one else does. I have even more ideas for the 86 crew. ANYWAY. Please don’t look at me.

[selfships-in-spanish]

That spy post gave me WAY too many ideas: I can picture either a scenario in which Connor is a government agent who's chasing superspy/master thief Ona around the world a lá Carmen Sandiego, where she's constantly evading his grasp, or that Connor and Ona are rival spies for different governments who keep meeting and flirting with each other on-mission before being separated yet again - Simon-Data Anon

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH 

SIMON-DATA NON I MISSED YOU MY DARLING ❤❤❤ So glad to have you back in my inbox!!! Fgjdldfgkd I love your ideas so much omg. 

The first scenario is just so *chef kiss*

Just imagine Connor chasing after her, this woman who is one of the most famous thieves alive, who always escapes his grasp and even toys with him, but in a way he sees what she is doing, stealing from Cyberlife (and Connor was not stupid himself, he knew Cyberlife had powerful items and did shady things) but not for own gain or profit, but to return items to their rightful owners. She’s some kind of modern Robin Hood.

They found themselves trapped in one of Cyberlife facilities one time, having to work together in order to make it out alive and unscratched. Connor had various cases going on at the same time, and the Cyberlife one had a new lead he got to follow. Needless to say it got dangerous, but working with her came surprisingly easy, even enjoyed it and had fun despite of almost dying. He felt alive.

“It was fun playing with you today, agent Stern. We should stop meeting each other like this, don’t you agree?”

Connor sometimes finds himself daydreaming about fluffy white hair and a playful smile disappearing into the night as beautiful olive-green eyes wink at him.

BUT DUDE THE IDEA OF BOTH BEING SPIES??? YES????? 

All the rivalry between them, who’s the better spy, the better agent... (please something along The Man From Uncle with Napoleon and Illya, just roasting the other but not being able to leave the other to their fortune when they get in a situation).

Please we need a scene of Connor and Ona having to work together towards a same goal, infiltrating a high end party or something and Ona has to seduce a target in order to get intel, all while Connor slips into private aisles of the mansion where the party is held to gather evidence and intel of his own... but he didn’t count on Ona looking absolutely amazing in that beautiful and jaw-dropping dress. He needs a moment. Several, in fact, as well as a double bourbon shot because his throat is suddenly too dry and parched at the sight of her entering the room, her honey skin and freckles showing in what the slit of the dress allows Connor to see and–

“You may want to close your mouth before you ruin your beautiful suit with drool, cariño.”

Connor instantly closed his mouth, clearing his throat as if he hadn’t been absolutely bewitched by the sight. He ventured a quick look down as Ona sat next to him on the barstool, her movements oozing elegance and finesse as if she had been born with a silver spoon. That peek of her leg made Connor seriously consider to loosen his tie and pop open the first button of his shirt.

Ona ordered a Gin and Tonic, delighted to see they put her favourite pink tonic. Connor didn’t want to admit he shoot daggers to the barman winking at her as he delivered her drink. Connor decided he should keep his eyes up and not let himself venture down at all costs. He looked down again. Damn it. Her giggle made him look directly into her eyes, finding them full of mirth and mischief.

“It never gets old.” Ona took a sip of her drink, humming delighted at it. “So, any visual on the target?” She looked around discreetly while leaning in a little bit as she took another sip of her drink, Connor mimicking her.

“Behind us, the table on the left. It seems you may have some competition, honey.” Their target was occupied by already two beautiful women fanning over her. Ona arched her brow, licking her lips in anticipation. She enjoyed a challenge. Connor followed the movements of her tongue.

“That won’t be a problem. In fact, you’re gonna be part of the plan, so play along, darling.”

“Play along–?”

Ona grabbed Connor’s hand, putting it on her thigh. Connor’s hand instinctively twitched, the realisation of what her plan was dawning on him.

“Oh.”

Connor had to admit she was an impressive actress. Their target looked over the commotion, over Ona’s loud gasp and slap across his face. The sting made him think it was payback for that time in Rome when–

Oh, she was good. She stormed off with a “you men are disgusting”, grabbing her drink and purse and walking away from him to another seat, making sure the target was aware of the show and followed Ona with her eyes. Connor rubbed his cheek, the sting clearing his head. The barman from before came over him, handing another bourbon.

“She looks feisty huh. Better luck next time, man.”

Connor frowned, not liking the thought of this man being one of those who overstepped boundaries, but thanked him for the drink, agreeing as he had to maintain his role of “male with wounded pride”. He turned around just in time to see the target walking over where Ona was another cocktail in hand, crossing her long legs clad in an expensive looking suit and perfectly polished shoes.

Ona’s comm came alive in Connor’s ear.

“Are you alright? I couldn’t help but notice what happened before. Here, on the house.” 

“Oh! How thoughtful of you. But yes, I am thank you. Men, right?” Ona played perfectly her role. She made sure their target had her attention solely on Ona, letting the mob boss get cosy with her.

“Oh darling, I know. Men are the worst.” The mob boss put an arm behind the couch they were in, getting closer to Ona. She played coy, letting herself be seduced, not knowing in the slightest she was the one being seduced.

Connor stood up when a certain piece of information was brought up, smirking as Ona pulled it out of the woman’s lips without effort. He knew where he had to go, and new Ona would entertain the target long enough for him to slip through security, find their prize and get out without anyone noticing anything.

He froze mid step when he heard the mob boss suggest her and Ona going somewhere more privately, specifically her rooms Where Connor was. He was going to murder her after they got out of that place.

(Needless to say the image of Ona’s lipstick smeared would be in his dreams for quite a little bit of time)

Miraculous Ladybug Rewrite/au

So uh about to post art for it so I figure I should post about it for the main long-term plot differences and premise difference. The main difference is instead of Master Fu only losing two miraculous, he loses all of them EXCEPT the ladybug, cat, and turtle. The main goal isn’t just to defeat hawkmoth, but to find and get all of the miraculous back to Master Fu as asked.

Overall premise differences:

Marinette's characterization is a bit different here, she's generally much more reclusive and only talks to Alya, and even then they're not the closest. She's only really close with family. She's more intensely bullied by Chloe.

Both of them were tested and chosen by their kwamis, not really master Fu, who's going to be a bit more of a mess in this au (he never got proper training afterall)

Both Chat Noir and Ladybug have contact with Master Fu fairly early on and equally

The miraculous cure has a time limit. It can only fix things for a few hours after the damage is done. (Chat Blanc's timeline chaos, for example, could never be fixed in any shape or form by the miracle cure.)

There's a secret society and research hidden from the public on the miraculous

As a result they do have to fight other miraculous holders every now and then, mainly in S1 (like the bee, the snake, and pig miraculous)

Not all of this is villainy, it's sometimes people trying to be heroes. Ladybug and Chat Noir try to teach others that not everyone should, or can be a hero though.

The Agreste family and Graham de Vanily family are all villains here working together

Emilie (Still kinda dead here) and Amelie have heavy involvement in the secret groups researching miraculous

Same miraculous for Nathalie and Gabriel, Amelie gets the mouse

A LOT of Amelie manipulating Gabriel

unfortunately going with sentimonster adrien in this au (which is the reason he's excluded from his family's villainy)

This is already a lot, the other big details are eventual fox holder Felix and eventual butterfly holder Emelie. Gonna put it under read more since it's already a long post, but here's the rest of main differences that happen.

Warning this gets long rip

This is pretty much a S2 Rundown:

Amelie using the mouse miraculous to spy on ladybug and chat noir (it's easy when you're small and everywhere to use it to spy)

Lila in S2 has the real fox miraculous, and in the fight against ladybug, she loses for Hawkmoth to come in and get it at the end (his first physical public appearance)

He then gives Felix the fox miraculous

Felix pretty much becomes a phantom thief with it called the Phantom Fox as a result lol. He steals jewelry across Paris (a chance to get the missing miraculous, and also enjoy a fun hobby of his)

Honestly he's just out here to waste so much of Ladybug and Chat Noir's time because it's fun for him (really big stunts of stealing stuff and just being a public bother, but Master Fu has emphasis that someone with a miraculous has to stop him lol)

Adrien's family is all together a lot but exclude him constantly despite a lot of episodes being him trying to impress them

Felix almost gets caught and revealed. Gabriel realizes how if he's caught there could be an investigation, and even worse, he could be mistaken for Adrien even if the miraculous is only taken for a minute.

I hate to make it edgy (this goes in with a later plot point though) but as a result Gabriel harms Felix pretty badly. Still personally debating what kind of injury or the specifics, but to the point where he has some facial injury to not be mistaken as Adrien, and for Felix to not be as casual when using the fox miraculous. After that, he stops making public appearances too (Adrien is told he went back to London for study-related reasons) and is slightly mute at times. Gabriel lies to Emilie that it was Ladybug and Chat Noir's doing to Emilie, causing her to start having actual resentment to them.

I know canon is going otherwise lately but Gabriel is fairly unaware about miraculous research and the potential of it. His goal is just to sacrifice Adrien for Emilie to come back to life, nothing bigger

He starts actually using Mayura and Amelie offensively in what would be S3. Happens pretty similarly to canon honestly with how Mayura is used, except for the main climax:

Gabriel does win one day

During this Gabriel, Marinette and Adrien all get to know each others identities (no one else)

They lost outside of the mansion but he takes Adrien back for his weird sacrifice thing and so that he can see Emilie the second she awakens

Even though wearing multiple miraculous is supposed to be hard in canon Hawkmoth wears all four lol, so in this au he's only able to wear two at once without hurting himself. So once in the mansion he's not wearing the butterfly and peacock

This clown gives them to Nathalie to hold onto

Gabriel dies instead of Adrien (woo!)

Because Adrien's right there he's able to take back the ladybug and cat miraculous

For clarification no Emilie doesn't notice she's out here dealing with way too much after being resurrected and having her husband die for her (and almost kill their sentimonster son )

Society is aware of their failure, the Agreste family is looked into, and they weren't able to miraculous cure the casualties or destruction away this time

It's not exactly. hard to steal from a sick woman. so Felix steals the butterfly and peacock miraculous

So it's generally a really big loss for Adrien and Marinette. They know each other's identities which is nice sure sure, but due to the major loss, disappointment in them from society, and the hurt Adrien feels a lot of the time spent is in somber comfort of each other instead. They're not sure what's going to happen next, so they keep their identities secret from society. They just have each other now.

Everything after is, well. even more different from canon because I went feral. Basically S4:

Ya'll know how I mentioned Marinette is a lot more reclusive? She's still bright as ladybug, but this effects that too. She really refused any interviews or explanations on herself or miraculous in the past, and now that really screws them over. A lot of distrust from society because they have no statements from her to know what's going on.

Amelie is so glad Gabriel died lmao, fake mourning for Emilie's sake though

Emilie created Adrien to just be her child, but not a full person. The fact he's in school, has a free will, and a life outside of her? Kind of kills her. She doesn't know how to interact with him really.

She falls into a similarly reclusive state to Gabriel when it comes to him with a bit more awkward-try-hard parent moments. She was ready to *own* a child not be an actual parent lol

Amelie gives Emelie the butterfly miraculous, and keeps the peacock for herself.

Because of the evidence of harm on Felix, during the investigation of the family they realize he has the fox but the family is able to plea that he was forced against his will and traumatized from it. (Amelie might be faking this, but doesn't know how true it is)

This is all just set up in episode 1 and the feelings happening throughout the season. Actual Stuff that happens though?

Emilie and Amelie make a plan to "adjust" the world they're in. Neither of them like how things have ended up for their sons, Emilie has been dead for a while and is bad at adjusting herself to the changes around her, so they may as well.

They just need for Emilie to play the hero and Amelie to play the villain to do that.

Nathalie isn't arrested, but is suspected so this is a pretty good pass for Amelie to use the peacock as long as she's hidden while using it. She makes sentimonsters that terrorize Paris.

Emilie meanwhile uses the power of the butterfly to become the supposedly-hero "The Monarch", who gives civilians the power to become heroes based on their passions or drive to defeat sentimonsters.

The Monarch just straight up contacts and makes a ton of interviews on the news. Explaining the miraculous, saying she's a member from the society researching miraculous who Felix gave the miraculous to (and why secret identities are important but she'll reveal that much), and bringing all that jazz that to light.

In contrast to LB and CN, she keeps saying how anyone can, and should be a hero.

Sooooo much passive aggressive shade on LB and CN during these lmao

A lot of her discussion about them is how they're just kids, "not trained or prepared", how she's the one not sure how they got the miraculous which is suspicious of them, with a lot of fake sympathy towards them too. (Mainly being it's not their fault, with her stating they were bound to fail eventually given how they are)

She does actually reach out to the folk she makes heroes to train and discuss things with them. A lot of it is honestly lowkey manipulating and trying to be a parental/role figure towards them while using them though

She especially reaches out to people who've tried to be heroes before and have some issues.

Like Chloe, reasoning LB and CN were wrong, how she's wrongly judged by society, how she deserves better and another chance, trying to be the kind figure Audrey isn't, etc.

The heroes don't always come after LB and CN. It's just The Monarch tells them to exclude them at best because they can't be trusted, and sometimes they *happen* to try and capture them because hey, maybe that'll impress The Monarch. And she doesn't really stop them from doing that lol

Felix is now using the fox miraculous pretty much 24/7. The police revealed the Phantom Fox was him and some info about what happened to him anyway (Not that Marinette trust that)

It's true the group of heroes The Monarch makes start off good but it starts to become an extreme "justice" group that'll get more intense over time, punishing whoever they see fit.

This ended up being so. So overly long so I'm gonna end it here since I have art and some more writing to show for the rest of it, but yeah. Just a big list of stuff about my au/rewrite, sorry it's kind of a mess but I'm having way too much fun with it.

[thequibblah]

[animeyanderelover]

Hello could I please request Soma, Agni, Charles Grey, Dagger, Finny, and Joker falling for Ciels older sister?

It’s been honestly a while since I wrote about Black Butler.

Tw: Yandere themes, unhealthy mindset, unhealthy relationship, obsessiveness, possessiveness, delusions, paranoia, clinginess

Falling for Ciel’s older sister

First of all I would like to clarify something. Ciel would be really respectful since you’re his older sister. You’re the only family he has left and due to that he would be really protective and possessive over you. If you would have been his twin or younger sister he would most likely lock you away from any potential suitor. But since you’re older, he wouldn’t do that. We’re also going to assume that you know about Sebastian.

Finny

🌻Finny is devoted to his master, loyal and ready to do about everything he can do for Ciel to be safe. Due to that for Finny it would be, despite him being delusional, a shock when he finds himself falling for his lord’s older sister. If we already mentioned the point delusions, I think he would be with his false imaginations pushed in a corner in this scenario. He still believes that you and him love each other and still sees you as weak. But the point that you need his protection would fall in the water since you’re protected by Ciel and Sebastian. And to both Finny looks up so he knows that you’re safe with them.

🌻Ciel on the other hand would be a bit angry at Finny. He trusted that guy as one of his servants and now that idiot pins after his sister. On the other hand Ciel has full control over Finny and will at first most likely try to boss Finny around so he doesn’t get the chance to follow you around anymore. He wouldn’t be really rough to you since I imagine that Ciel’s older sister can be really terrifying if angry, meaning that this boy here is scared of his sister and her horrific outbursts. Would most likely try to talk her into that there are more fitting people, that it would be a scandal if a noble and a gardener come together and all other norms and rules that scream no to this.

🌻But he would never do more than that and if you still insist on continuing to spend time with the blonde, at one point Ciel will give up. At the beginning he would be a bit iffy about all of this, but on the other hand the thing that made him so angry at the beginning will lead him to slowly loosing up after some time. He trusts Finny to a certain extent and he knows him, plus the fact that Finny is under his control which might just be the best thing about all of this.

🌻Normally Finny would kidnap you or isolate you, probably even breaking your legs if you would try to run away. All of this will be crossed out due to younger brother and demon butler watching. Because Finny is aware of the fact that Ciel trusts him with his beloved sister and wouldn’t want to screw it up. He would be dead meat if that should happen.

Dagger

🔪We’re going with an AU where those guys survived. In that case Dagger might have known you beforehand since you didn’t miss the chance to spy on your little brother and also watching Sebastian and William performing. Whilst Ciel would never involve her too personally in his cases, I can see Ciel letting his sister help him, letting her read the tasks and allowing her to give her own ideas and suspicions. So Dagger most likely fell for you without even knowing at first who you were. And when he did, he totally panicked, his delusions telling him to save you from that monster there and bring you to your soulmate.

🔪And in this case Ciel would totally lose it for the simple reason that Dagger is in his mind categorized as a thief, liar and murderer, a criminal through and through. And that’s exactly trash Ciel won’t allow anywhere near you. And if you still express interest in him, he might just become a bit more forceful, most likely because he’s worried. That guy is a criminal for the love of god! He kidnapped children and helped directly getting them killed, murdered innocent citizens and is a swindler and you still want to spend time with him?!

🔪The situation is very difficult for Ciel and Dagger. Ciel distrusts Dagger and Dagger sees Ciel as someone bad he has to protect you from. But the fact remains that Dagger knows too well that he can’t beat the servants of the Phantomhive household and just to be near you would most likely leave the circus because they keep moving whilst you would stay in here. A possible way to solve this would be adopting Dagger next to Snake as a new servant of the manor and yes, it was all your decision. Ciel won’t approve at all and similar to with Finny he would boss Dagger around, but a lot more like a slave since he doesn’t like that guy one bit.

🔪Even after years he would never stop being mean and cautious to Dagger, but over time he will at least start accepting him in one way or another, most likely to you. But he makes it very clear that one slip-up will lead to Dagger getting kicked out, meaning that it’ll be your job to help Dagger’s paranoia and delusions. But Dagger’s view on Ciel will change over time due to the fact that he will realize at one point that Ciel allowed him in the first place to be together with you and would for that start showing a lot of gratitude.

Joker

🤡Joker is aware of the consequences which will come after finding out that his darling is no other than Ciel’s older sister. He and Ciel don’t share the best past together, Ciel tried to kill him and he tried to kill Ciel. So both of them are really anything, but on good terms with each other. And Joker also knows that you were involved, helping solving this case. You know his past and due to that he feels a sense of shame which would make it all the more surprising for him when you still seem to care for him.

🤡For Ciel it would be a similar reaction like with Dagger. But Ciel and Joker share a bit more history than he shared with Dagger, adding new spice to this. In a way he holds more respect for the Earl since he’s ashamed of his behavior and doesn’t think of Ciel as danger he has to protect his darling from. I feel like Joker would be a lot more humble in this scenario since he already lost to Ciel and knows that there is nothing he can do.

🤡I think it would be similar to with Dagger, Joker would end up being another servant. Maybe even the whole troupe would start working under Ciel since Joker is the leader which would make Snake very happy. There is this awkwardness and certain tension between those two and it’ll always be there. But Joker would work really hard to gain Ciel’s trust and try to put the dislike he has for him away for your sake. And that will earn Ciel’s respect at one point. But he will still order that man around really badly, pushing him to his limits. But at least he now isn’t as disapproving anymore.

🤡Joker knows that he has to watch his back all the time since he just knows that that red-eyed butler watches him all the freaking time. Due to the fact you’re smart and his master, Joker knows that manipulating you won’t do anything. But it isn’t like he sees the need to do it, he knows it’ll be fruitless. He’s just so thankful that you found it in your heart to give him and his friends a new chance. But Ciel and Joker will never really like each other, all they’ll do is learning how to live with each other’s presence. But I suppose that’s better than nothing.

Prince Soma

🍛Soma is delusional, that won’t change and he’s still convinced that his darling loves him just as much as he loves her. But here’s the interesting thing, I feel like he would be really apologetic to Ciel. Soma sees Ciel as a really close friend of his and cares for him very much. And he also knows that his friend cares greatly for his sister and that she’s, next to him of course, the only person he trusts. And Soma monopolizes your time a lot, meaning he’ll feel bad and whenever Ciel seems upset about it, he’ll start throwing a drama.

🍛Ciel won’t be mad, he’ll be hella annoyed by this. He doesn’t dislike Soma, seeing him as an acquaintance of his, a too close one for his taste. And he knows too well how Soma tends to be and would feel bad for letting his sister endure all of this by herself. Trying to get his alone time with you is as good as impossible too since Soma is always there and at one point Ciel will simply leave the room since Soma’s doting and all lovey-dovey way is too much to witness for him.

🍛There is really not much he can do since Soma and you are, at least in Soma’s eyes, already a couple and Soma is a prince after all. I can see Soma wanting to spend a lot more time with Ciel too since Ciel is going to be his brother-in-law anyways, putting Ciel through a harsh patience test. The thing is that Soma would totally have mood swings due to falling for his best friend’s sister. On one day he would be all energetic and excited and on the other day he’ll be a whiny and tantrum throwing mess, most likely happening when Ciel snaps at him.

🍛I guess as Ciel’s sister you would already live a pretty noble and good life, but if we throw Soma in be prepared for him being all spoiling and pampering with you. Even Ciel will be gifted quite often as another apology sign from Soma’s side. And at one point Ciel will just have to straightforward tell Soma that he’s fine with him being together with his sister or else that guy will never stop throwing himself around Ciel’s neck and apologizing whenever Ciel’s thread of patience runs thin.

Agni

🤜Whilst his prince would feel moody about this, Agni would feel nothing, but shame. For Agni it would be a more slow fall, but the moment he starts gaining feelings, there is no turn back. And he respects Ciel for putting up with his sometimes difficult prince and also acknowledges the young boy for all the hard work he does daily. He would most likely tell Ciel that he has feelings for his sister the moment he realized that he couldn’t ignore them.

🤜And Ciel would have a difficult time judging here. He’s not pleased to hear that the butler from Soma fell for his older sister. On the other hand Agni did gain a bit respect from him since he managed to make a draw back then when he had a swordfight with Sebastian. Agni’s nature is another thing that would give Ciel a hard time since he did tell him after all the truth and seems ashamed of it himself.

🤜I think due to his debating mindset, Ciel would choose to step back a bit and let you do the decisions for now until he’s observed enough to make a judgement call in here. Soma would for sure be shipper number one the moment he found out, leading to him pushing the rather timid and insecure butler of his to spend more time with you, even giving him in his overeagerness some courting tips.

🤜He is a butler, sure. But he’s highly respectful and adoring towards his darling. And that is all Ciel will have to see from his observations to have a peaceful mind. Of course his overprotectiveness will never fully disappear, but he’ll start trusting Agni over time more and more with you. And for Agni this would be a huge honor considering the fact that normally butlers would never be allowed to even be that close to a noble lady like you are. And it’ll even happen that Ciel has to drag Soma away so his sister and Agni can enjoy some time together.

Charles Grey

🤺Charles curiosity in you would most likely be sparked due to the fact that you’re Ciel’s sister and he seems so protective over you. And this spark out of curiosity led to a war starting obsession. Charles would be at first a bit surprised at this, but he won’t feel ashamed of it at all. That guy thinks highly of himself and would in the end just like imagining that he’s the perfect guy for you. He is after all charming, good-looking and has the position, he’s the Queen’s butler after all.

🤺Ciel isn’t on best terms with Charles Grey and the first word that would come to his mind when finding out about this would be bastard. Problem here is Charles high position, he’s directly connected to the Queen after all. And as a very sneaky guy he would often set up events, balls for example where Ciel’s and his sister’s presence are expected, putting pressure onto Ciel. The only thing Ciel can do without embarrassing himself too much is tell you very clearly that Charles isn’t the best guy to talk to.

🤺Charles will absolutely do everything to get closer to you and as a very funny and charming guy it won’t be hard for him to form a quick connection to you. And he can and will rub salt into Ciel’s wounded pride the moment you start liking him and wanting to spend more time with him. It’s all about teasing with Charles and Ciel will become a victim of his and all of that without even having to do anything else besides talking to you and getting closer to you.

🤺That does not mean that you’re blind to that fact either and it’ll end in you lecturing him about this like a mother would do with their child. And that’ll cause Charles only to become more obsessed with you. Your power position isn’t all that useful like many would think since Charles is a.) himself in a pretty good situation and b.) is highly smart and will use bribing and blackmailing to his advantage. But he also isn’t blind to the fact that Ciel himself is really smart and has an eye out for him which is why he would go through the normal way of courting you. And your poor brother will have to endure his teasing and mocking all the time when he is forced to spend time with Charles.

So I kind of made a Sonic AU combining most of Sonic’s games, comics and TV into one world with one history. I also made character summaries for a bunch of characters. Here’s Rouge’s I guess?

They say Diamonds are a girl’s best friend, and Rouge is certainly no exception. This Bat loves all things shiny and glamorous. Being orphaned at a young age, Rouge had to steal to survive. After years of living on the streets and joining several gangs, Rouge’s skills had improved. Now instead of stealing food, she was planning elaborate jewel heists and robbing Museums. That was until one day when she was set up and captured by G.U.N. However, instead of being charged with her many...many...many crimes, she was offered a chance to use her skills for good as a spy for G.U.N, which she begrudgingly accepted.

Years later, Rouge is one of G.U.N’s most respected agents, even leading her own team consisting of Shadow the Hedgehog and E-123 Omega. She had met both Shadow and Omega on separate solo missions and formed an unlikely friendship with them, forming a bond that seems to go beyond friendship. Team Dark is Rouge’s family and although Shadow and Omega would never admit it, they think the same. They bicker, fight and argue, but they’ll always have each other’s back.

Rouge has more or less given up her thieving ways, finding a sense of purpose as a spy. But that doesn’t mean the itch has fully gone away, Rouge still has a weakness for jewels of all kinds. But she’s more of a part time treasure hunter now rather than a petty thief. Although there is one gem that she has a particular fondness for, that being the Master Emerald which she usually pesters Knuckles about. Despite her teasing, it would seem she has quite the soft spot for the Echidna.

Rouge is your basic Femme Fatale, she’s smart, sassy and knows how to get what she wants. She uses her looks and lightning fast wit to manipulate even the smartest people like Dr Eggman. She also loves to flirt and tease for the sheer fun of messing with people. However, behind all of her tricks and facades, she is a very loving and sensitive person with her connection to Shadow and Omega proving it so.

Au harem prompt: Hange finds herself riding her motorbike towards an abandoned warehouse. The reason: Four known members of the underground was meeting to settle things down:

The Mafia boss - Levi

Top Spy/Hacker - Moblit

Yakuza boss - Flegel

Master thief - Onyankopon

There’s a rumor that the rivalry among these men started due to a particular police officer. The four men recount how Hange sparked a change in them.,And how their many encounters with them turned into an infatuation.

In between the conflict: Levi, Moblit, Flegel and Onyankopon ends up confessing their love to Hange, while also claiming that they’re the closest to her. Eventually, all ends well. But hey also make sure to let the officer realize that she’s responsible for a very specific crime—-“stealing” their hearts.

Note: I love you writing so much! And I keep re-reading them because they make my heart melt, race and also excited. Thank you for making me love Hange and Levi even more *sending hugs and kisses* 😘❤️🤗

hange couldn't quite believe it - all the trouble she had gone through to get to those elusive men, and now she was finally there, so close she could capture at least half of them.

and, yet, she didn't barge in, guns blazing. instead she crouched behind a thin concrete wall, listening to a conversation that was unravelling in the next room.

she hanged on the every word, her eyes widening more and more with each second.

moblit berner, onyakopon, flegel reeves and levi ackerman - the four most influential criminals in their city were having a meeting. they weren't discussing the borders of their influence, weren't striking an alliance or starting a blood feud. no, they all seemed to be concerned with one thing only.

her.

hange didn't know if she should be concerned or flattered.

for now, she was mostly intrigued.

"officer hange," flegel began grimly, his face set in a serious frown. "she's starting to become a problem."

"you decided to get rid of her, i take it?" levi asked, arching an eyebrow. "or is there some other reason why one of your men was following her home yesterday?"

"that's not- i don't-" flegel stuttered, flustered and embarrassed.

"and how do you know that someone was following her?" onyakopon turned to levi with a smirk on his face.

levi scoffed. "i know everything that is going on in this city. and i'm not the one who is sending flowers to her apartment."

"that was one time!" moblit cried out. "and, at least, i've never helped her carry groceries back home," he pointed an accusing finger at onyakopon.

he raised his hands, palms up, with an innocent smile. "what can i say? i may be a criminal, but i'm still a gentleman at heart."

"tch," levi rolled his eyes. "you're pathetic."

"really?" flegel smirked. "are we now? and what about you, mr. i'll break off a standoff with another gang, because officer hange was tipped off about it and i don't want her to get hurt?"

"that's not why i didn't go through with it," levi argued, fierce despite the rapidly growing blush.

"so officer hange is a problem," moblit announced with a chuckle.

"seems like it," onyakopon agreed, hanging his head.

"she's just so passionate, right?" flegel sighed dreamily. "she's so determined and resolute."

"and her eyes are so pretty," moblit eagerly nodded.

"and her smile is the brightest thing i've ever seen..." levi murmured with a soft look in his steely eyes.

"you know the worst thing?" flegel asked. "now, every time me and my boys plan another crime, i just can't go through with it! i think about doing something bad and immediately see her disappointed face. it makes me feel so ashamed."

"i know just what you feel," onyakopon clasped his shoulder.

"yeah..." moblit agreed. "it's the worst feeling in the world."

"fuck," levi said, rubbing his face. "we really are pathetic. and all of it because of some stupid four-eyed officer."

hange slowly backed away, her head still riling from what she just heard.

this wasn't what she expected to witness when she was planning her ambush. she was wondering about the decline in criminal activity in the city for quite some time now. she thought that these men were preparing some grand master plan, a hideous and cruel crime that would shake up the whole city.

even in her wildest dreams, she couldn't have imagined that this decrease was the result of her influence, that the four most known members of underground society was halting their crimes because they all had a goddamn crush. on her.

clearly, there was a lot she had to think about.

and, clearly, she had some to do some serious soul-searching because these news... they made her feel more than a little excited.

these men, although criminals, weren't exactly bad looking. and they evidently were capable of acts of kindness.

and, maybe, she wouldn't mind getting to know more not only about their crimes, but about them too.

Related to the post where Luke is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  about crime that AU where Luke is just all about crime.

Plot reasons with him running into Han and Chewie on Tatooine and falling in with them with the smuggling and whatnot. Ran into all kinds where he learned to properly criminal, you know?

Helped a lot he almost had a sixth sense about things sometimes, saved him and his friends from getting caught or worse, but it also gives him a certain reputation in certain circles too.

Also? Bounties. A lot of them and all over the place and he and Han and Chewie may not have a thing about who’s got the biggest bounty on them at any given time. (Loser buys drinks next time they stop in somewhere with a bar or cantina.)

There are run-ins with bounty hunters sprinkled in there, and if Luke’s honest with himself his favorite has to be this Mandalorian he keeps bumping into?

Serious type, real professional.

But.

After a few run-ins Luke thinks he’s wearing the guy down? Swears he cracked a joke once, dragging Luke to some local law enforcement for something or other. Luke not overly bothered because Han would be looking for him and anyway, the bounty puck the Mandalorian tracked him down for this time was small-time stuff, nothing to worry about.

He flirts outrageously with the Mandalorian whenever the guy actually catches up to him. Started as a way to get under his skin, maybe throw him off-balance enough he could get away, but the guy’s too good to fall for it. (Doesn’t mean Luke stops, goodness no, but once it’s clear the Mandalorian’s not going to bite it’s just. A really weird game they play? Hell if Luke knows, but the Mandalorian hasn’t put him in carbonite yet, so he must not be that mad about it.

(Han thinks it’s weird as hell the way Luke antagonizes the Mandalorian, keeps telling him he’s going to go too far one day and carbonite will be the good end for him, but Luke doesn’t thin that’s true, so...)

Anyway, anyway.

For all that Luke’s become a pretty good criminal type - leans towards thievery, stuff that requires a but more finesse than Han or Chewie favor. Which works out incredibly well for them while doing crime. Everyone’s distracted by whatever Han and Chewie are doing and fail to clock the farm boy as any kind of threat, which never goes well for the them, so.

Anyway, while Luke’s off adventuring and whatnot with Han and Chewie he send money home to Aunt Beru and Uncle Owen on a regular basis. The farm didn’t make much at the best of times, and that’s part of the reason Luke left n the first place. (One less mouth to feed, one less dumb kid to look after.)

They go to Tatooine every once in a while too, Han picking up jobs and other things, but some of it’s to do with Luke’s home and the only family he’s ever known, but to hear Han tell it they go there for work. (Really.)

So on one of their trips to Tatooine Luke goes to visit his aunt and uncle and there are a pair of droids on the farm. Uncle Owen putting Luke to work getting them cleaned up an all that after a tense moment when he sees Luke. He and Beru know Luke’s getting up to trouble, know he’s a criminal now, but he’s still the kid they raised and anyway, might be better that than and up like his father, so.

Luke gets put to work with Artoo and C-3PO, and they still go missing the next day with him chasing after and the meeting with Old Ben. Leia’s message and everything else, including finding aunt Beru and uncle Owen after the Imperials have been through.

All that happens like before, but this time they don’t have to go looking for a ship to hire because Han and Chewie and Luke is so damned relieved to see them after everything. (Han was getting worried too, about to go looking for him when Luke found him first, trailing some weird old hermit behind him.

The training and whatnot on the way to Alderaan, and Luke’s not the same wide-eyed farm boy this time around, but he’s got a feeling they can’t just not go looking for the princess from the message, and Han -

He cannot believe he’s going along with this, but it’s not like he can let Luke go on ahead without him, and anyway, anyway.

Everything else more or less goes the same way, but along with the whole Jedi thing Luke has going on he’s also a pretty damn good thief, picked up some other criminal-type skills along the way.

Has his own little network of contacts and friends all across the galaxy, and most of Han’s and Chewie’s have a soft spot for their third partner in crime and yes.

But also?

Once he joins the Rebellion they realize he has a very specific set of skills and talents that would make him a logical choice for more...delicate missions.

So, he does sekrit spy stuff while not flying about in his X-wing having pew-pew dogfights with Imperial TIE fighters or volunteering for missions to shut down a shield generator on a forest moon somewhere.

Weirdly/coincidentally enough, he runs into his - Han, really, he’s not Luke’s Mandalorian, you need to stop that. (Although really, Luke wouldn’t have any objections if he were Luke’s, but the whole criminal past/current rebel spy/fighter pilot/fledgling Jedi thing, so.)

They have their run-ins, although thankfully it’s usually when the Mandalorian is tracking someone else, seems a bemused at the way it keeps working out that way. Used to be that the times in the past he was looking for Luke he had to turn the galaxy upside down to find him.

Luke never tells the Mandalorian he’s gone straight, works for the Rebellion these days. Can’t risk it no matter how much he does like the guy.

Still flirts outrageously with him though, habit and a little bit of hopeful wishing and no time, way, to do anything about it even if the Mandalorian reciprocated because Rebellion and fighting a war and really, really, he wouldn’t want to do that to the Mandalorian anyeay.

Then Endor and the whole...everything that happened, talk about family drama.

Doesn’t really know what to do after that because he’s still processing, but the Empire’s not gone and he’s still a damn good spy/agent and anyway.

He does that, goes on sekrit spy missions and the whatnot for a while before he just...can’t anymore.

Jedi stuff, you know?

Goes searching for relics and whatever he can get his hands on, thinks about starting a school after a bit because people keep finding him.

Parents with Force-sensitive kids who are worried about them, street kids on whatever planet he’s on and the Force nudging them together, and just.

Someone needs to help them, and it’s also a bit of him needing them in return, and Leia just gives him this look, because she knows.

Promises to help him however he she can, and in the meantime Yavin 4, you know?

And that’s great, it’s amazing, but once he gets the ball rolling and help in the forms of other older Force-senstive people he can trust to watch and help train the younger students while he’s jetting about he, uh, goes jetting about.

Feels a call from someone in need or hears about a Jedi relic or place of importance and has to go check it out.

Also, though, also.

The New Republic and need for a thief of his specific skill set and sekrit missions once again.

One of which lands both him and the Mandalorian tracking him for an old - really old, really unflattering holor of his face - in a jall somewhere.

Dungeon?

Something, because Imperial remnant/local warlor hoping to curry favor with their masters and what a deal - a thief/spy/Jedi and the Mandalorian trying to catch him and so on.

Luke in a cell with binders on his wrists and the Mandalorian in a cell opposite also with binders on his wrist, although sans armor.

(They left him his helmet, though, small, cruel mercy that it is.)

So Luke, he bides his time.

Chats his fellow prisoner up much as the Mandalorian has ever let him, lets the little warlord rough him up thinking he’s intimidating Luke - which, ha. Luke’s dealt with worse, this pompous fool is nothing compared to Leia in the morning before being properly caffeinated.

Once he’s sure it’s safe to stage an escape - or he’s gotten all the information the little warlord is likely to monologue at him - Luke does the escape thing.

Slips out of the binders easy as you please and looks up at the ceiling of his cell/dungeon.

Repurposed to hold prisoners like him and the Mandalorian and not properly secured and all that. Yes, it’ll keep (most) people in, but getting out?

Well.

Convenient vents and ducts and Luke’s just small enough to squeeze through.

Located in the ceiling though, and too high up for most to get to on their own, but the Force is super handy for stuff like that and up he goes.

Mandalorian who’s stewing after the warlord’s last monologue-ing session because he’s got a kid now and that bastard threatened aid kid - watches Luke disappear.

Thinks that’s it then, isn’t it. Years and years of him chasing Luke down whenever he picks up a bounty on him and despite the almost friendly relationship that formed between them over the years, there’s no reason for Luke to stick his neck out for him, right?

Right.

So of course once Luke gets out of the vents and finds his way back to the cells/dungeon he lets the Mandalorian out.

Gives him this little smile, tired, hopelessly fond because yes, okay. The Mandalorian’s been chasing him on and off for years, but it was never personal, always just a job he was doing because professional?

But also, also, the times they helped one another out in the past even with no reason to do so, other than it being the right thing to do.

And truthfully, Luke’s been thinking of the Mandalorian as a friend for a long time now, likes him too much for anything else and even if none of that were true, he has a kid now. One that might be in danger and Luke can’t turn his back on either of them now, you know?

So he gets the Mandalorian out, and they take down the warlord and Luke -

His part of the mission’s over, was just supposed to gather intel and deal with the warlord if he could, sends word back to Leia and whoever sent him on the mission and then -

“I could help, if you’d like,” because of course he offers, and the Mandalorian is like -

“Why?”

And Luke, okay, Luke.

Just looks at the (his) Mandalorian like he can’t believe the guy even asked him that. (But kind of yeah, he expected that, and it just makes him even fonder of the dope.)

Mandalorian back in his armor and no longer wrong-footed and so very him Luke could laugh.

“I want to,” he says, because when it comes down to it, it really is just that simple.

And then off the two of them go to make sure the Mandalorian’s kid is safe and wow, what a shock to learn Grogu is one of Yoda’s species and also incredibly strong in the Force and -

“I’m supposed to take him to the Jedi,” the Mandalorian - Din - says, sounding heartbroken just saying those words, and Luke gets why that is once he thinks about it for a moment.

The old Jedi Order and their Thing about attachment and -

“Yeah, alright,” Luke says, because he’s worried about Din, curled over his sleeping son held in his arms and grieving his absence already because he thinks it’s the right thing to do. “How about we not do that for a moment, hm?”

Din looks at him because no, no, this non-neogtiable, this is for Grogu’s own good -

And Luke sighs, because much as he loves Ben and Yoda and his father, the previous Jedi Order have a lot to answer for, don’t they.

He tells Din that hey, so, surprise, Luke is actually kind of a big deal in terms of the Jedi world these days, you know?

Has this pieced together school on Yavin 4 with all these students, but more importantly? Their families are there too.

Lets that sink in, sits back and watches Din looking down at his sleeping kid - tiny green gremlin of a kid - and smiles the moment everything registers in Din’s head.

Apologizes for not telling Din before, but Thief and Rebel and Rebel Spy and just a lot going on and he never actually hid what he was from Din, just. Wasn’t ridiculously blatant about it - because the Empire killed the Jedi Order, and for all his skill, abilities, Luke is still very much a man, mortal as any other and just.

Yes.

Din is like. Will need more time to process, but Luke is a - the Jedi - and says he can train Grogu and that Din won’t have to give him up.

...Really, it sounds too good to be true, but Luke’s never lied to him when it counted, you know? Told awful, horrible lies he meant Din to see through, but never anything hurtful, harmful.

So he and Grogu go with Luke to Yavin 4 and Grogu gets along with Luke’s other students adnd enjoys it there.. Din’s a bit more out of place until some of the students see him training and ask if he can teach them too - and he looks at Luke, wary of overstepping, but Luke is delighted, okay, delighted.

And since Din doesn’t mind teaching the kids, welcomes it really, as a way to feel like he’s contributing to Luke’s school and generosity in allowing Din to stay.

Sparring sessions between him and Luke, because of course. And then other flirty things before they realize that wow, hey, they actually like one another an awful lot, and then smooches are had and Leia and Grogu laugh themselves sick because it took those idiots long enough you know?

But yes.

43. A kiss pressed to the top of the head. Ukus. AU doesn't really matter. Fluffy feels do. >_>

Greedy~ I wrote one for you out of the goodness of my heart and yet you demand more? >.> jk jk ;P as always, you can have anything you ask for

(this is an alternate timeline version of Thief of Spades in which Alfred finished his apprenticeship and went on to become a master jeweler and designer. He sets up shop in London and Arthur wanders in one day looking for something for Abigail. They fall in love. The rest is history ;P)

Ting ting ting. Ting ting ting ting.

Arthur plods into Alfred's workshop, only the overhead light for his bench is on and the rest of the room is cast in shadow. It is cast in shadow because it is two in the morning. Arthur gently places his hand on Alfred's shoulder.

Alfred jumps slightly and stops hammering what appears to be a ring. He tilts his head back to look at Arthur with a guilty and apologetic smile on his face. "Hi, babe. What's up?" he asks, trying to sound innocent.

Arthur raises his eyebrow. "My darling, what are you doing? It is almost 2:30am. I don't sleep nearly as well if I can't have my arms around you."

Alfred blushes, but then his face splits into an excited grin. "Okay, but! I had this crazy dream. It was so bizarre, Arthur. You were like... an MI6 agent or something and I was a jewel thief nobody could catch! Isn't that weird? Anyway, I called myself the Thief of Spades, god dream me is so lame, but it gave me this great idea to create a line that combines the playing card suits with the tarot card suits, you know? Like how spades correspond to swords, hearts to cups and--"

Arthur silences him by running his hand back through Alfred's hair, leaning close and softly pressing his lips to Alfred's forehead. He doesn't move at all for a few moments, savoring the feel of Alfred's skin, the smell of his hair, and his manic artistic genius.

Arthur can feel Alfred melt, the wild energy settling. Alfred takes a deep breath. "Thank you," he murmurs.

Arthur strokes his hair and kisses his temple. "It's alright. Why don't you make some notes or sketches and then come up to bed, hmm? I'll give you ten minutes."

Alfred nods. "Yeah. Yeah, that's a good idea. Thanks."

"You're welcome, love." Arthur heads toward the stairs and then stops. "Alfred. Regarding your dream. I'm not a spy, I'm a detective and if you were some notorious jewel thief," he smiles cheekily, "I would be the one to catch you."

Alfred laughs as he pulls out his sketchbook. "Only because I'd let you."

[hyrule-kingdom-updates]

Ok but I have been thinking about this “Astor takes Zelda when she’s young” AU all night like:

So Zelda’s mom dies and Astor gets his astrolabe from Asivus after he fucks with the guardians and [REDACTED] and Astor has his little Calamity agenda all within a shorter amount of time than the span of time in HKU. This is so that Zelda doesn’t have too much knowledge about her role as Hylia’s vessel yet so that when Astor takes her she’s like “dope” and doesn’t really know exactly how important she is. I mean as soon as your mom dies and your dad turns into a dick, the first magic dadstor to come into your radius going like “let’s go vibe somewhere else” I think anyone would accept that.

So the princess is whisked away and the kingdom goes into pure shit and chaos, and Rhoam is left no choice as to basic double, no, triple down on Sheikah tech and the divine beasts, all while sending out searches for the princess—which never come into fruition.

Meanwhile, Zelda grows up with the Yiga Clan as an assassin shes got a sickle and short hair because yeah!! Zavis is still a spy but instead of joining the Yiga Clan to be more useful to Zelda, he joined the Yiga Clan to find her and when he did, since his dad and Zelda are all basically on the same side he doesn’t have really any loyalty to the crown anymore

Now just in case, Astor pretty much lies to Zelda about her past as she grew up, just so that there isn’t a chance she gets dragged back into castle life or anything. “Oh yeah, you were just some little noble girl who’s dad was a dick, and I was friends with your mom before she died so I decided to take you in” and it lines you just enough with what few memories Zelda has of her childhood that she believes it. And ironically, with her loyalty to Astor and the Yiga Clan, she grows to despise royals and laughs at the stories of the missing princess like “ha, what a nerd. Hyrule really is doomed since she dipped from her destiny, what a loser.”

Does Siv team up with Astor earlier since he doesn’t have Zelda to give him hope that he can overcome the Calamity? Maybe. Idk.

So anyways, Zeldas going out doing Yiga things and she meets a knight with a pretty cool looking sword, and she’s like “Oooo imma steal that” and then she tries but she failed because this kid is REALLY skilled. He beats her, but doesn’t kill her when he realizes “You’re just a kid?” Then, they hear someone coming, like a captain or something, and he tosses her a few rupees like “get out of here and go home, the others won’t hesitate to kill a Yiga like you—girl or not”

Now Zelda goes home but she’s PISSED. Not only did she get her ass beat despite being the most badass Yiga she knows, the kid has the audacity to toss her RUPEES as if she was just some common poor thief. What an asshole! But also, she’s super ingrained by him because pretty much her whole life she’s believed the knights and those with the royals are a bunch of ruthless assholes who do nothing but blindly adhere to their commands and rules. So the fuck is with this kid??

She doesn’t tell anyone about this encounter (mostly because she doesn’t want to be yelled at, nor admitting the embarrassing detail of being beaten) but she does tell Zavis about it. And he’s like “pfft. He’s just a kid, btt it give him a few years and he’ll grow up like everyone other asshole out there, trust me”

Then later on, Zelda sneaks out looking for this kid again. And she does, and they kinda cross blades, but mostly she just complains to him about how annoying he is, and she tosses the rupees he gave him back like “I don’t need your pity money!” And they banter for a bit more and eventually she’s like “what’s your name, huh?” And the knight is like “....you don’t know who I am?”

“Oh let me guess, you’re one of the hundreds of people named Link, is that it?”

“Something like that.”

“Well Link, I’m Mallory, and I’m going to kill you now!”

Suddenly Link’s stomach grumbles and he sheathes his sword “Dinner break!”

“WHA—?? Keep fighting me you idiot!”

“Nah...I’m super hungry.”

“What?!?! What’s wrong with you??? I’ll kill you!”

“No you won’t.”

“I will!”

“You’re already breaking a sweat and I’ve been holding back this whole time. Plus, if you wanted to kill me why did you just give me back my rupees when I had my back turned instead of stabbing me? Either you like talking to me, or you suck at your job. Anyways, cucco nugget?”

So they’re kinda friends now.

So time passes and they’re still secret friends, and they like being friends because they “keep it real” as the kids say. Link never admits to her that he’s the hero, but vents about his knight life and his dad who never seems to be happy for him despite his accomplishments. And Zelda vents about her life in the Yiga Clan, and despite being the best, Astor never seems to want her involved in the more important missions and never tells her jackshit”

“Well I guess that’s good for me. Would hate to have the Yiga’s best asset being used.”

“Hey this is serious!! I need to help in the destruction of the royal family with the Calamity!”

“Do you really believe that? That we’re all already doomed?”

“Well yeah. I mean, even if the hero’s around, the princess is dead, so you all don’t stand a chance. But don’t worry, when the Calamity comes I’ll give you a heads up and you can go chill in Faron or something”

Then, things be picking up with Astor and the gang, and he’s finally found an opportunity to kill the hero. And Zelda remembers hearing from Link that he sometimes hangs out with the Champions and the hero for protection, and she’s like, “can I come?” because she wants to be useful, but also to make sure Link doesn’t die or anything. Yet per usual, Astor’s like “No. Just stay here.”

Now Zelda gets super pissed and him and they have a fight, mostly circulating around the fact that Zelda’s been nothing but loyal to the Yiga Clan and yet she nevers gets to actually feel useful and it also put on the sidelines whenever anything actually impactful happens. “Hell, even ZAVIS does more than I do! What’s your problem?! Can’t you have confidence in my for once??”

And Astor in Astor fashion ends the argument super harshly like, “You won’t be ready for anything, ever. You’re still incredibly naive and foolish, so if you want to help, then you can help everyone by staying here, and safe, and away from everyone. THAT is the only thing of use you can do, so do it.” And then they go off to kill the hero and Zelda runs off to her room al frusterated and shit. 

But you know, you often meet your destiny on the road you take to avoid it. And this Astor’s little plan to keep Zelda away from Calamity related business so that she can never discover her powers or who she is...is gonna backfire, splendidly.

So Zelda sneaks out anyway, with the idea in her head that if she kills the hero before Astor even gets there he’ll have no CHOICE but to recognize how competent and useful she is and he’ll eat his words!

But then she gets there, and she sees the Champions, and Link, and she goes to confront Link with sickle in hand like, “I don’t need you! Just tell me where the hero is, and I’ll spare the rest of you!” And the Champions are like “wtf” and Link is like, “Just leave. You don’t know what you’re doing.” 

“I know exactly what I’m doing! Just tell me where the hero is and no one else has to get hurt.”

And Daruk’s like. “Uhh...but he is the hero?” And everyone glares at Daruk, and Zelda goes into shock, like w h a t. Aw shit..so that fancy sword was the master sword...and he’s so good at fighting because he’s the bloody hERO FUCK, IT’S SO OBVIOUS NOW FUCK.

And I feel like as Zelda is contemplating her life choices in the moment. Revali would attack first because he’s like that. So he shoots her in the shoulder, or something, and she releases Link, and then something something her mask falls of and Urbosa recognizes her because of course she does. And Urbosa’s like “Zelda?!??!?” And Zelda’s like, “Who the fuck are you? Who’s Zelda? I’m Mallory.” 

And by that point, Astor is there and he’s like “wtf is going on here.” And he sees Zelda, and he’s like “Mallory get over here right now.” And she hesitates for a moment because she’s right between him and Link.

“Move aside, now. Quickly. We’ll discuss your insolence when we get back home.”

And she’s like “...No.”

“Excuse me?”

“T-There’s no need for this. The princess is dead, right? S-So what’s even the point?”

“We have to ensure victory for Lord Ganon. We’re just making sure there’s no chance of anything happening. There’s no need to defend them, they’re all doomed, they’re all the same. If the hero doesn’t die by my hand, he’ll die by the Calamity’s. So move.”

“You don’t know that!”

And Astor raises and eyebrow because this is basically the first time Zelda has questioned this, ever. “What did you say?”

“I...I said you don’t know everything! You could be wrong!”

And he gives a sad smile and shakes his head. “I know more than you know.”

“I’ll tell you when we’re done here, promise.” And then he does his little malice teleport thing and he’s about to kill Link with a big ol’ malice attack, and Zelda does that reaching out thing like “No!” 

And the BOOM. Her powers awaken, and EVERYONES like “oh shIT.” And Link’s the first one to be like, “You’re the princess???” And Astor’s like “hmmmmmmmm....fuck.” And Urbosa’s like, “Ok, I’m gonna stab Astor now.” and then she does! good for her. 

And then Zelda is freaking out like what the fuck just happened who huh where what huh and then theres conflict because she doesn’t want Link to die but also his team just sorta stabbed her father figure and then its chaos or something and uhhhhhhhhh yeah that’s all I got I have no idea how this would end. 

I feel Zelda wouldn’t go back to the Yiga Hideout after that, in fact I think she might run off with Siv because he’s like “hey, hey, hey. maybe gimme some of that light juice and get the calamity out of my head?” And of course Zavis would go whereever Zelda went (maybe?) She definitly wouldn’t go with the Champions yet, but they’re out looking for her. And also Astor would be looking for her with the Yiga Clan but mostly he’s like “fuck my life.” because literally everything he had been working towards and planning for over a decade has been ruined in like, an hour.
