#they're always so sweet

At first, she’d worried she’d made a mistake. Not all people liked when someone just came to their home to see if they were alright, even if they had good intentions. Thankfully, Fannar only gave her the impression that he had seen a ghost for a few moments before he’d stepped to the side. And it was then that she could finally breathe for a moment, because she was sure that he wasn’t upset. At least.. If he was, he was masking it really well. 

“Nothing you need to apologize for,” She speaks as she does step into the doorway, reaching her hand down so she can slip her shoes off. “It’s not like you’re the only one who stepped away for a bit, and, you don’t need to be sorry about not sending anything my way either. I know we care about each other, we don’t need a gift to define it.” She smiled at him, genuine. Not truly one for material things, though sentimental when she had them from those she loved, she was more so someone who valued time. 

Observant as he was, he’d be likely to note that her hair was piled up in a bun with various strands poking out, the whole thing threatening to fall down in a heap. Her eyes had bags, which wasn’t the norm for her either. And, on a more subtle note, her socks didn’t match. Lara normally at least attempted to look put together. Today, however, that wasn’t happening. She’d stared at her mismatched socks for a moment when she was removing her shoes, but quickly tried to recover. 

She stepped in fully, placing her shoes in a corner before closing the door. “Ah, I’d love coffee if you’re in the mood for it.” And, once he invited her to stay for a bit, she worried her lower lip between her teeth. “Are you sure it wouldn’t be trouble..? I mean, I ask because, well, I did pack a bag or two in case I would be staying for a bit.”

you know which moment i feel like we don't talk about enough?

THIS ONE RIGHT HERE.

The goofy choked laugh Stede does, the way Ed giggles back, the affectionate shoulder pat, the way they both smile so brightly, the way it feels SO comfortable and so casual and so warm even though they've only know each other for a short amount of time...

And the way it makes me that much more excited for all their little private, sweet, and silly moments awaiting us.

I don't straight up ship VaultGhoul, but I'm also not in the "that's disgusting, stop" camp.

I do, however, see them as deeply combative coworkers. Wherever that dynamic takes us....only the wind knows.

Luck being a koala to gaz and him acting like nothing is happening (I envy their relationship)

Despite the fact that Gaz's shadow does a wonderful job carrying you from place to place, you find it much more comfortable to have the man himself do it. You wrap your arms around his shoulders, your legs around his waist, and he happily carts you from his room to the kitchen. Afterglow breakfast, he calls it. His fingers skim your thighs, bunching up the sweatshirt he lent you and giving your ass an affectionate squeeze. You push your face against his neck with a content sigh.

Gaz sets you to sit on the kitchen counter while he digs through the fridge. He tosses you a fruit cup from the box on the lowest shelf. You peal back the top enough to suck out the sugar water while Gaz makes himself busy looking for forks. He hops up onto the counter next to you and passes you the imitation silverware. You click your fork against his, and twirl it over your fingers to tuck into the little orange slices left in your cup.

"Last two," Gaz smiles.

"Lucky us," You grin back.

Hii you know how you wrote about reader getting hurt because of their job please could you write that with graves or nikolai x

Hey! Sure I can!

Graves’ and Nikolai’s S/O Gets Hurt Because of Their job

Graves: On the outside he may seem calm and collected, but on the inside he’d be seething with rage. However, he won’t show you how angry he actually is, keeping it all to himself instead. He needs to be the big, strong man in your relationship, so he needs to keep his cool in front of you, no matter what. I don’t think he’d be too surprised you’d have gotten hurt, though. While he may have hoped it would never happen, that was just wishful thinking. You’ll either be on Shadow Company’s medbay or in the best hospital he can find nearby. Either way, you’ll be well taken care of. If you’re at Shadow Company, then he’ll station some of his most competent and trusted people to take care of you for the time being. You will be protected by them, and you will get whatever it is you may need from them as well. Or anything you may want, really. No cost is too high for Graves while you’re in recovery. While he may try to make time for you as well, he really does, he will also have someone track down whoever hurt you. This person will then be abducted to Shadow Company for a rough time. Graves himself would take care of them, and he can be pretty effective when he wants to be. However, if you’ve recovered by then, and are among the more vengeful people, then you’re more than welcome to do as you please with the bastard yourself, Graves has no qualms about that. In fact, he’d welcome you doing what you need to do. An eye for an eye. I think he’d become a bit more protective of you afterwards. If you’re okay with it, then he’ll leave you in the hands of some of his Shadows since he can’t always be there for you. If it was up to him, he’d combine you with his work and have you just live on base with him so he could always keep an eye on you, but you likely wouldn’t agree to that. It may seem a bit overbearing, but he will reach out to you more often and does expect you to respond within a few hours, or else he’ll get worried and send someone to check up on you, even if you’re alright.

Nikolai: While Graves may be furious, Nikolai is entirely calm about all of this. Yes, you got hurt, but seeing him panic would likely only worsen the state you’re in. He is well aware of the fact that you will pull through, he made sure of that himself. However, he won’t do anything drastic until you’ve recovered completely. That way your perpetrator has enough time to kill themself before he has to take action. Naturally, you mean the world to him, so any violence against you will not be excused. Nikolai runs a PMC, so he knows what he’s doing, he knows how to deal with violence. Violence for violence is the rule of the beasts and Nikolai’s cruelty is akin to that of a starved animal. However, that can wait until you’re alright again. He’ll visit you every day, even stay at the hospital, and bring you gifts, tell you stories and keep you company otherwise. But he won’t mention the plans he has for the sorry fuck who hurt you, those are for him to know and for you to never find out. Once you’re home again, going about your day, he will seek out the bastard himself and drag him to some place in Siberia. As mentioned before, Nikolai can be cruel when he wants to be, so I wouldn’t be surprised if he let that person run aimlessly around Siberia for a few days, hunted down by him and his people, only to capture and torture them later. Death is a kind of mercy that is not for them, though, so he’ll keep them alive for the time being. They almost took you from him, there’s nothing they could ever do to make up for that. They’ll be a new chewing toy for Chimera until they die for one reason or another. Nikolai won’t get too overprotective, but he will be keeping a closer eye on you. He won’t station one of his people in front of your home when he’s away, but he will try to make more time for you. Calls become more frequent and he will try to find some excuses to spend more time with you, even if it’s just by video chatting with you when you have the time. He won’t freak out, but he won’t forget about that incident either.
