erm also maybe sheriff x bandit! reader? be really funny to see him basically babysitting them while they are actively trying to bite people

Orderly Anon [💉]

Ah yes, Sheriff and his weird dog. Wasn't quite sure what to do for this but I decided I'll share what I have.

Yandere! Sheriff with Bandit! Darling

Pairing: Romantic/Platonic

Possible Trigger Warnings: Gender-Neutral Darling, Obsession, Delusional behavior, Cannibalism mention, Kidnapping, Isolation, Degrading behavior, Blood mention, Angst, Forced companionship.

I like to imagine maybe Sheriff knew you before Nexus City fell.

You two originally got along well, maybe friends... maybe lovers.

Either way I imagine Sheriff would've cared for you a lot.

You often visited and chatted with him.

He loved your personality and how well he got along with you.

You even helped him get over his cowardly behavior... even if it was just a little.

Then Nexus City fell... and you were nowhere to be seen.

Sheriff no doubt mourns your loss, thinking you perished in the fall.

He never truly forgets you though.

The Sheriff dedicates a part of his mind to you and often thinks of you.

When stressed he brings himself back to a time when you were there.

He thinks of his friend... perhaps even his love....

It makes him feel significantly better.

Even though you're gone.

But... let's say by chance the Sheriff has to clear an encampment of Bandits.

They're like rats... feasting on unsuspecting survivors of the fall to feed themselves.

Sheriff sees no issue with sending men to clear them.

Until he sees one that looks rather familiar.

The Sheriff nearly loses his composure when he sees your face covered in Bandit garb.

He can see blood stain your lips... your eyes wide and bloodshot... you're a Bandit now.

Yet that doesn't seem to stop past feelings bubbling up from long ago.

He knows this may be considered a waste of resources or something but Sheriff orders your capture.

You're muzzled... chained... and dragged to a cell in the MERC base.

The Sheriff can't help but stare at you in the cell he picks for you.

It's spacious compared to the rest but he just hates seeing you treated like some mutt.

Sheriff may be delusional enough to try and revert your more feral demeanor.

He tries changing your diet, your clothes, he tries speaking and teaching you.

Sheriff wants you back to how you were more than anything.

Yet he won't deny the fact he has a heart attack whenever you slam yourself against the bars to try and bite him or his men.

It's unknown if Sheriff can truly train you to be yourself again.

If not... then he's content keeping you chained here so he can take care of you.

He just needs you by his side, he needs someone to talk to when times get tough.

Plus, sometimes he swears he sees you somewhere in there.

As a result, he promises to hold out for you.

He always sits by your cell in a chair to watch you.

Sometimes you just stare at each other.

If you're in danger he puts your cell into lockdown to protect you.

Sheriff would kill to keep you to himself.

He's lost you once before, he refuses to do it again.

You may not be yourself now...

But he'll find a way to fix you... that's a promise he primarily makes to himself more than anything.

Story

※y/f/n=your friend's name

It started for 3 months ago.

After your work, you tried to take a shortcut, and were walking an alley.

In this place, walking at late is dangerous for civilians who cannot fight.

That's why you were hurrying home.

It was when you came to the middle of the alley.

"Hey, babe."

It's a man's voice.

Is it a bandit?

You turned around and faced the stranger.

"Why are ye here? It's late to walk alone."

That was the Sheriff, one of MERC's member.

You had seen him in posters, and heard some rumors about him.

You were surprised and suspicious at the same time.

Why did this famous guy talk to you even though you are an ordinary grunt?

Before that, why was he here?

He smirked.

"So, wanna come with me? I can take yer home safely"

You couldn't understand what he offered.

In Nevada, people who talk to stranger when they are alone are not good people.

Besides, it's strange that an important person is here without his subordinates.

You felt bad feeling.

"...Sir, I gotta go. I'm in hurry and I must go back home immediately"

It's not a lie.

Then all of a sudden, his smile disappeared.

And look at someone without expression.

Silence.

You couldn't take this situation, so left as if you were running away.

He didn't come after you, but you didn't know he stared at you until you were out of sight.

…

After that, you came to run into Sheriff several times when you were alone.

All he usually does "flirting behavior" in general.

But because of what happened before you refused him.

That's his little play. He'll get bored soon.

Also, you acted as if you wern't interested him.

After a while, it was worth it, you didn't see him anymore.

He must have found new prey.

…

After a few weeks, you got a lot of letters.

There were no name and address.

Their contents were rambling.

For example, what happened today, what did you eat, etc.

Another day, Box with a message, you got clothes and favorite food.

"You like this? I got special things for you"

Curiously, as it said, things are your favorites.

But that wasn't all.

After a while, the content became extreme.

"You are mine, you only need is me"

"I want to know everything about you"

That was crazy.

Also the person seemed to know things that only you know.

"You better leave from Y/F/N, they're cheating on you"

"You're so cute when you're sleeping."

You were starting to wonder it would be Sheriff.

If this situation continues, the worst is yet to come.

And you carried it out the plan.

You sneaked out of the house without warning and telling anyone.

But if you take a bus or a taxi, the Sheriff will find you in no time.

While wandering in wilderness, you found a building.

It seems that there was a fierce battle there, but it's just right to survive the rain and wind.

Fortunately, there were no bandit, nor MERC.

It was very lucky you could found a place to rest in this situation.

...

It was when you were tired from your trip and you were about to sleep.

Suddenly you heard someone's footsteps.

You peeked through the gap towards the front door.

There was a shadow.

You couldn't make out his face well because of the backlight.

But you recognized that voice.

"Where are you hidin' sweetie?"

Oh god, It's Sheriff.

How did he find you!?

No way, was this building still under surveillance?

But there is no time to think.

Anyway, it's better to hide.

You hid in lusty locker and killed your breath.

You couldn't see his face by darkness, if you can, he would be smirk as usual.

For some time he was walking around and moving scraps.

"Why did ye run? I was being good for, wasn't I."

He continued.

"My heart sank when ya were gone."

Saying that, he entered the room where you were.

You heard something screeching.

But it seemed he couldn't find nothing, footsteps receded.

At that time, you heard the door opened.

You sighed in relief.

It was short, but surely.

…

"Gotcha"

But it was fleeting.

Suddenly the locker's door opened.

You were tricked. He knew you were here from the beginning.

You screamed and kicked his body as long as you could.

Probably you never done that in your life.

Surprised by struggling, he released you.

It's a chance!

You pushed him away and ran to the exit.

To be exact, tried to.

Two gunshots.

Suddenly, severe pain stroke your legs.

Aginst your will, you collapsed upon cold floor.

"I didn't want ye do this, But ya made me that."

Sheriff said mercifully.

As if he doesn't do something wrong.

"Don't worry, I won't kill. But..."

He grapped your chin and made you see his face.

"If ya don't act be good, I'll do more"

You glared at him. One was pain, another was hatred.　

"It's yer fate. Be mine."

In detail of story

Actually, Sheriff knew about you before encounter.

It was love at first sight.

Then he started stalkingwatching over you.

But don't underestimate. his obsession is strong.

It's natural to be worried about someone person like, isn't it?

But he can't talk to you by confusion because it's the feeling he had for the first time.

Then soon, he searched for your information your favorite, hobby, routine, friends, local area.

As he knows you more, a worry arose.

You're an ordinary grunt, not a soldier.

Unfortunately, there are dangerous wanted criminals in Nevada.

You'll die in a moment.

That's why Sheriff decided to protect you in particular.

So, he came to get rid of thugs even if it wasn't a mission.

The effect of this will be an extreme increase in security in your local area!

On the contrary, gradually his mind became more insane.

At that time, he happened to meet you on his way home. ※Elimination of your intruders

It was enough to forget the previous struggle.

After that, Sheriff come to hope to get your attention, and love.

At first, I approached it in a normal way, you avoid him much.

That's why he changed plan.

He wrote some letters, and gave you presents you like.

But you tried to run without warning.

For that matter, he couldn't take it anymore.

Sheriff was shocked but there was also a feeling that it was fun to hunt you down.

His feelings have reached a point where nobody can't stop.

Unfortunately, you seems you don't know how dangerous Nevada is.

His wish is to keep you safe.

Even if it involves many sacrifices.

[orderly-anon]

hello, are you able to write any romantic headcanons for sheriff ?

much appreciated <3

I'd love to!

//THE SHERIFF\\

ROMANTIC HCS

Prescription: Yandere Romantic Headcanons

Side Affects: Obsessive behavior, unbalanced power dynamics, nonconsensual drugging, nonconsensual affection

Doctor's Notes: The reader is assumed to be a MERCenary working under the Sheriff.

READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.

]] Sheriff, at first at least, wants to court you.

]] He does it anonymously in the beginning, and you even resort to changing your number as the texts begin to tell you things about your daily life that no one should know.

]] Not realizing that he shouldn't have escalated so quickly, he starts sending you gifts. They'd be cute if you didn't assume they were from a stalker.

]] You try going off the grid. You delete your Bumblr account, your Killter account, you destroy your phone, you do everything except quit your job.

]] That was your first mistake.

]] The gifts are delivered directly to your office, your (new) doorstep, your work mailbox, your home mailbox-- they're everywhere.

]] You start having paranoid breakdowns at work, lashing out at everyone, even your boss.

]] It's now or never, if he doesn't act soon you'll never trust him.

]] He calls you into his office one day, and you obediently go. Obedience. . . he always liked that about you.

]] As soon as you're in, the door is locked. You're directed to sit down.

]] "Mercenary," he says, "You been actin' a bit. . . anxious lately."

]] You pick at your elbows and chatter your teeth nervously with no response from your lips. You're on high alert.

]] Sheriff notices this and offers you a shot of whiskey, which you refuse. He persists, and you give in, not wanting to be at the receiving end of his anger.

]] "Ye've been a good worker, Mercenary. Yer obedient. . . yer efficient. . . yer. . . pretty."

]] You start to feel woozy, and you tell him you'd better get back to work. You get up on shaky legs, and Sheriff gets up and rushes to your side.

]] "No no, doll, ye best sit down. 'Fore ye hurt yerself."

]] Unable to think properly, you agree and sit down. The glass slips from your hand and you barely notice when Sheriff kisses your cheek. "Yer safe, doll." He chuckles.

"Finally safe with me."

Sheriff General Headcannons

GENRE - Romantic

Trigger warnings - Stockholm Syndrome, Implied Kidnapping, Murder & Murder threat, Gun Violence & Gun threat, Mention of Children ( Adoption wise anyways. ), idealization, Toxic mindsets, delusions, stalking, intimidation, Maladaptive Daydreaming mention, Isolation

Sheriff is possibly one of the better yanderes around Nevada under certain circumstances. Compared to the likes of others, He's a lot more manageable is your able to work with him. This is due to him being both delusional and wanting nothing more than to live in peace with you but that's only IF you play along.

He often daydreams . This has turned into almost a form of maladaptive daydreaming which has almost gotten to the point it takes up most of the time he spends at his desk instead of signing papers. Which has lead to him rushing it and not being able to get everything done

He doesn't really hide his feelings for you, constantly flirting and calling you affectionate pet names. He'll get you gifts and show you his love via hugs, kisses, etc. No matter how much it makes you uncomfortable and tell him to stop, he's already too far gone. To him, It's almost like you two are already in a relationship and in his ideal fantasy world: You are.

He's nice, easy going but isn't stupid. He won't let you go once he has you, even if you ask nicely. Anything else you want though? it's yours. He'll try to get his boys ( aka MERC ) to come around and help him out with it. Thanks to the sense of community Sheriff has established, most will be more than happy to help him out.

He'll also make sure to get some to stalk you and others to dig up some information. He wants to know your likes and dislikes after all! He wants to make sure he can make you happy and compatible in any and every possible way! Maybe even snag a missing item that he can claim you left while visiting him, Y'know. So he has an excuse to see you and play a little bit of the hero.

Wants so desperately to be your hero, to save you from the madness. Wants you to idolize him and swoon as he goes past and winks. Just overall: in his head, he's the cool cowboy who saves the damsel/Damoiseau in distress aka you. It's just how it's meant to be!

He'll get all giggly around you. constantly complimenting you to the point it becomes awkward. Even the littlest thing, Whether it's about your smell or the certain little thing that no one else knows or should know. He just nervously spurs them out, thinking it's endearing when it makes your skin crawl - terrifying you because he shouldn't know that

You could probably kill him and get away but it would result in the MERCS hunting you down for the rest of your days. Not exactly ideal. He just loves you too much to fight back against you or any violence you throw at him - Also he's cowardly. He'd rather run from you than fight, so he usually flees the room if you start trying to get violent with him.

However, With as much as he'd never dream of harming you. He would never let anyone hurt you. Not in a million years, With how soft and sweet he is with you, It'll come as a surprise to the fact he won't hesitate to gun down anyone who even thinks of you the wrong way.

No one gets to tell you that you aren't the perfect thing to ever grace Nevada. You are the best thing that ever happened to him and he will not tolerate slander. Not even from his own men. If anyone does so in his presence or gets told by another member of MERC, He'll make their death easy but in no ways quick.

A lot of people forget just how intimidating he can be but keep in mind, When he is running in every appearance, both in the series and game, The most deadly men of Nevada are behind him. His voice can get real deep and he knows how to make most people's skin crawl from a tilt of his hat and a couple words alone.

Can get insanely paranoid too which had lead him to keeping you close to him. He doesn't want to lose you, he's already lost so much, will only leave you with his most trusted allies and even then - he's constantly checking in. He just wants to live in peace with you, maybe you could even have kids! ( maybe you guys could adopt?... somehow. ) He just really wants the whole domestic fucking package.

But his paranoia leads him to isolating you you - probably the only one you see. It's both to keep you safe. However this might end up with you warming up to him quicker. Grunts are social creatures and flock to each other because they desire that attachment and belonging. You are no different, so when he is the only one you see in your prison, You may start to develop Stockholm syndrome because you crave social interaction and possible affection.

I would not recommend testing the waters. You can't really trust him as far as you can throw him. If you push him far enough, Break too many of his delusions, stripping him of his ideal fantasy world and force him to face reality? It WILL result in severe punishment and an even worse yandere.

He'll essentially " trains " you to go along with it - To meet his expectations and work hard to make his fantasy a reality. You have to because he loves you and there is no other option in his head. He'll become a lot more colder and easily angered over the littlest mistakes you make. Bereding you with insults for not playing along.

He's not playing the nice guy anymore and doesn't intent when he gave you so many chances to play along, to just give him that little bit of indulgence. Just once, Please recuperate his affections because you're slowly wearing him down and he doesn't wanna resort to hurting you. He really doesn't want too, so he'll get other, expendable grunts to do it ( after - slaughtering them for laying a hand on his darling. ).

He's desperate for you to love him back and he will go to any means to get it.

Yandere Madness Combat x reader, Player au pt 1

”Oh thank you player” I say as the player put a (favorite/color) nail polish on me, "But can I ask what is my roll in the 'game' " I question "or in general" The player smiled as twirled some of their hair " You where the healer, though not good with weapons enemies calmed down and didn't attack as frequently or hard, and allies gained health faster and get there health boxes back if lost" I think about it for a second before nodding "Don't tell the others" They said looking at me "But you were always my favorite" If I had a mouth I think I would be smiling "Really, well that why you always took control over me whenever you could" looking at the time I start to panic "I'm sorry player but I must get going, I have a mission soon" "Its fine, go ahead i'll be waiting" I wave as I rush out the room.

The player was aware most of the boys liked them, but they never liked any of them back, but they were a shipper. In the real world they read lots of madness combat characters x (y/n), hell they read one where they got a yandere harem of the others 'That was there favorite' but how should they go to get the others to fall in love with them.

Have Hank save them on a mission,

Sanford and Deminos get hurt on a mission and they help heal them,

They help 2BDammed fix someone up,

Maybe Tricky takes them and likes there calming effect,

Jeb helps them save a grunt,

They protect the Sheriff from a threat,

They heal the Auditor even though they know he is the enemy,

Or maybe they aren't scared of Phobos he take an interest in them,

Oh the possibilities are endless, when the player was positive no one was coming they went to there closet, inside was many papers some with drawings others with writing, there own fanfictions and fanart. They suddenly had an idea, pulling up the menu screen they did a little coding making it so the others had the feelings they felt towards the player go to (y/n) 'good thing I learned how to code' they thought more so happy they can see there ships sail.

"Little did I know what they felt for me was dangerous, and now they felt that way towards them they would try and never let go, and no matter how hard I tried to make there affection come back to me it never did, It was a one time thing"

"What happened next mommy?"

Basically what I currently write is Madness Combat X Reader. I might consider Roblox X Reader later but I'm trying my best with my motivation right now.

And to the people who are from my Wattpad, pretend my update schedule history thing is actually existing and that I am a very competent writer that writes very frequently.

I'm also afraid I won't be able to write anything LGBTQ+ because I absolutely suck at representing groups that I am not from and I really do not wish to screw up the representation (Unless you like - Want a demisexual or maybe someone on the asexual spectrum. That's all I can provide.). My apologies.

And that's all, for now.

EDIT: Some characters have been removed due to my lack of knowledge on them, for those who have requested them I'll still try to push the requests out but I'll no longer be taking requests for any character not listed here.

Yan!Hank Falls For Sheriff’s Bodyguard!Reader

(TW: Yandere, Obsessive Behavior, Violence, Hank’s kind of a masochist in this one)

You'd been friends with Sheriff for a long time. Well, acquaintances for longer, only growing close when Nexus City had fallen and the grey skies of Nevada had turned red. But even before your world fell to its current state and you two became best friends, you’d always agreed upon one thing: Sheriff was a coward.

Granted, it wasn't the worst thing to be here, it definitely kept him alive and out of harm's way for the most part. But it also prevented him from really learning how to fight properly, since he’d usually try to get as far away from his enemy as possible before doing anything to retaliate. And even then, his accuracy was less than stellar. You even gave him lessons, but it seems none of it really stuck. 

Of course, Sheriff saw an obvious solution to this. You were the most skilled gunslinger he knew of, so why not just hire you to protect him instead? (He was really nervous when asking you, it was actually pretty funny. He was sweating buckets trying to work up the courage to finally do so (since he did look up to you quite a bit). You just gave him an amused look and agreed.)

Unfortunately, your new partnership with Sheriff meant that you had to deal with all of his enemies, and with his shenanigans he’d happened to have made quite a few. But none were as dangerous (or annoying to you) as Nevada’s most infamous homicidal maniac; Hank J. Wimbleton.

You really didn’t know how you managed to catch his interest. At first you thought it was because you protected one of his enemies, and that was correct to some extent. That’s what first caused him to notice you, at least. But it was your staunch resistance to him, even when knowing he could completely eviscerate you, that made him have a far deeper interest in you.

He still remembers the first time you encountered each other (an event he looks back on fondly even if you don’t). He’d been tearing his way through a Merc base in search of Sheriff, only to find the man pathetically cowering behind you, clutching onto the back of your clothes like a child. He even yelped when he took a step closer. But you, no you weren’t scared (at least not visually).

Even as the gore-covered grunt before you raised his sword, you didn’t falter, leveling him with a cold glare, lips curled in a sneer as you raised your odd-looking guns in his direction. How intriguing. He had cocked his head, taking a step closer to you only for a laser to burn through him, searing through the flesh of his arm. He jumped back in surprise, giving you the perfect opportunity to shove Sheriff towards the exit as you followed at his heels. (Ordinarily you’d be up for a fight, but you weren’t willing to risk your friend’s life. Plus this was kinda your job, after all.) 

But you were surprised when you didn’t hear Hank running behind you. While you and Sheriff entered the nearest vehicle to get as far away from that building as possible, the tall grunt was looking down at the burn on his arm. You’d managed to hurt him, and rather badly at that. You didn’t hesitate in your actions, even when the odds were stacked completely against you. Impressive.

It had been too long since he’d faced a normal person who didn’t show him any fear. A part of him was struck by that overwhelming passion in your eyes; a mixture of protectiveness and anger. It was captivating to him. He wanted to see more.

Since then he’d attacked the bases you were at far more frequently. You’d come to expect his appearance almost every day, and worked constantly to prepare something that could help Sheriff’s Mercs have a fighting chance against him. (Sheriff was growing concerned. You were quite the workaholic already, but he’d never seen you fall asleep on your blueprints before, usually far too concerned with smudging them to let yourself do that. You must’ve been really upset about this.)

But instead of focusing on ending the Sheriff, he had a new motive: finding you. Fortunately for the Mercs, Hank no longer had much of an interest in them. He’d still destroy them if they got in his way (as they deserved for keeping you from him), but now he’d been leaving some alive when he rushed past them to find your location. You brought this up, of course. 

“You left some of our men last time. You’re getting sloppy, Wimbleton,” you mocked as you twirled your guns. He didn’t respond, too focused on the way your lips look pulled into a snide smile. (How would they feel against his? He wondered.)

But really, why would he care about people so insignificant when you were just out of reach? You were worth more of his time than those who were too weak to provide him any challenge. He was enraptured by the way you put your all into fighting him time and time again, the sheer determination to protect someone as worthless as the Sheriff was endearing.

The infuriating thing to you is that he continued to find you and Sheriff time and time again, but didn’t even seem to try and hurt you very much? His punches were pulled, his shots missed, and his swipes with blades were always at least a hair’s breadth away from slicing through you. It was threatening in the beginning, but now it enraged you. Did he underestimate you that badly?

In reality, Hank’s views on your abilities were split. You were a complete genius when it came to weaponry, and he just adored seeing you with a new gun in your hand, always looking bigger and more elaborate than your last project. If anything he was in awe of your intelligence, and the imagination and care you put behind each of your pieces. The fact that he knew you made them just for him made a part of him feel light. You really considered him to be so special that you’d spend time making a weapon just to deal with him? You must think so highly of him.

But at the same time, to his obvious amusement, you struggled with hand-to-hand combat; something he took advantage of very often. He found joy in the way you squirmed in his hold, trying in vain to break free as your fists hit weakly against him. (“I’ll fucking kill you, Wimbleton,” you hissed, and he only chuckled in response, tightening his grip on your wrists as you thrashed underneath him.) He enjoyed this physical contact he had with you, and the fact that it was in the throes of battle only heightened the sensation of your skin against his.

(You were typically too caught up in adrenaline to realize that he’d decided to forego gloves in his fights with you. However, you did notice when one of his hands decided to press against your body where your shirt had ridden up, calluses scraping against your skin as he ran his fingers over you in a way you might describe as soft. You hid your confusion with spoken threats and decided not to ponder his uncharacteristic behavior.)

Your weapons themselves are another point of fascination for him. All lovingly crafted by your hands, and powerful beyond belief. A part of him considered himself lucky for being your “test subject” for them, and he admires each scar they left on his form after yet another wound from you had healed. He could remember each event accurately, from the slightly indented scars on his shoulders from your three-barreled revolver to the jagged marks that trailed over his torso from your “chainsaw bayonet”. Ordinarily he wouldn’t care about the leftover scars he got from battles, but he actually enjoyed getting yours. It served as a reminder for another memory with you.

(The last one had caused some concern from Doc, who asked about it when Hank returned to the base bloody and on the verge of passing out. He didn’t receive much of an answer, just a wet cough of “chainsaw”, the tone of which was too light to be normal. He looked rather bewildered when he saw that the man was blushing as well when he checked for any wounds under the mask. What the hell?)

Although he also desperately wants to have one of your guns for himself. It was the thing that represented you the most; the very culmination of your character. He was beyond happy when you accidentally left one behind, too busy trying to get Sheriff to safety to realize your gun belt was feeling too light.

It was a “laspistol”, Prototype MK 0.02 according to the engravings on the side. The bulkiness of it proved that you’d yet to streamline it, and it was notably heavy compared to usual guns. He held it up with trembling hands, brimming with excitement at finally getting something you created to himself. It became a treasured item of his, and he kept it on his person at all times, only removing it to clean dust (and blood) from its finish.

(Deimos was unfortunate enough to see it, innocently picking it up from the table when Hank had turned to fetch some cleaning brushes for it. He studied it for a moment, perplexed by the odd design. "This isn't factory-made. Where'd you get it?" he asked, only to flinch as Hank tore the gun out of his hands. He only watched with confusion as the taller grunt looked closely at it, gently running a finger over the maker’s engraving before shoving it into his coat. Weird.)

Needless to say, the connection Hank had with you was odd. It was far too violent to constitute anything good, but your meetings were too frequent to say you didn’t know each other. You considered him another thorn in your side. But he, on the other hand, was utterly infatuated with you.

You didn’t notice it since you were fully immersed in your dedication to taking him down each time he appeared. But Sheriff did.

He’d never seen Hank decide to willingly spare someone, certainly not anyone who’d gotten between them in a fight. It was like this even before Nevada had turned to chaos. That on its own was weird, but to continue to do so? Something had to be wrong. And it was.

The way the murderous grunt seemed to enjoy it when you fought against him made Sheriff’s skin crawl, and the fact that he only seemed to focus on you instead of his actual main enemy proved that he had some sort of weird thing for you. In an effort to support you, Sheriff would try to help out, using one of your rifles to try and take potshots at Hank when you two dueled.

Naturally Hank was far less enthused at the Sheriff’s interference with your blooming “relationship” and was in no way willing to put up with it. As far as he was concerned, the cowboy had no place getting involved. He was too weak to be a suitable companion for you, and how could he claim to care for you when he intended to use you as a meat shield every day?

(He’d never been angry at hypocrisy before, but now his blood boiled every time you gave the other grunt a look of thanks and a grateful smile for aiming a few shots at him. He didn’t even hit anything, why the fuck were you congratulating him?)

If anything you’d be better off by his side. For one, he was obviously stronger than him, there really wasn’t a question about it. Secondly, for all the brawls that he had with you, he’d never actually injured you. Any sensible person would see that he’d be the better choice here, as you’d be far safer with him (which in itself was a rare achievement in Nevada).

But a part of Hank knows that it’d be difficult to remove you from your boss’ side, for contractual obligations if nothing else. That was fine; he could deal with it just as well. He’d just have to center his focus back on what was supposed to be his main objective.

He’s sure Doc would be relieved once this mission was finally over. And then nothing would be stopping him from taking you all for himself. You’d be happier this way anyway, you’ll see.

Hostage Sheriff

Hostage - “You’re the cutest little bargaining chip I’ve ever caught.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You whimpered, feeling the Sheriff's hot breath on your neck. He hummed from behind you and pulled you closer to his large body. You let out a squeak as he kissed your collarbone, catching you by surprise.

The Sheriff chuckled at your reaction. "Oh darl', you're the cutest little bargaining chip I've ever caught." You choked back a sob. You flexed your tied paws, fretful.

"Whuh- what are you gonna do ta me?" you asked, voice wavering slightly. The Sheriff nibbled at your collarbone, making you gasp out. "Sir, please- ah!" He bit down, making you groan.

You let some tears spill from your cross. He began trailing kisses and nibbles up and down your neck and shoulder, occaisionally licking the bite mark he left. You began to sob hopelessly, only spurring him on. "Oh doll, how I'll ruin ya. . ."

RAAAAH CAN I GET AAAAA YANDERE SHERIFF/PHOBOS RIVALRY??? idk i really like them and also totally ship them but that’s neither here nor there

Orderly Anon [💉]

I can try! Let's see how this goes :) Also, sorry for the teo different banner types.

Yandere! Sheriff vs Yandere! Phobos

Pairing: Romantic - Rivalry

Possible Trigger Warnings: Gender-Neutral Darling, Obsession, Violence, Threats, Entitlement, Delusional behavior, Kidnapping implied, Possessive behavior, Stalking, Parasocial relationship, Unhealthy power dynamic, Forced relationship implied.

If feel this is an interesting case for two reasons right off the bat.

One, Phobos is essentially the employer of Sheriff.

Sheriff runs MERC which is under/allied with Nexus Core, their leader being Phobos.

That already sets up an imbalanced power dynamic.

Then there's the fact their personalities are so different.

Phobos is an egotistical man with a God complex.

Sheriff is more skittish and certainly not as confident.

Sure, in Project: NEXUS the Sheriff is more assertive, yet I feel he'd back down to Phobos of all people.

Those two things make Sheriff have an unfair disadvantage.

Sheriff would have to know you first and keep you out of the sight of Phobos if he wants to keep you.

Because if not it would be incredible easy for Phobos to just take you.

Phobos sees you as a pet while Sheriff has much more domestic thoughts about you.

One wants to own you, the other wants to have a family with you.

I guess a way this could go is you and Sheriff already have an "established relationship".

Be it willingly or not, the Sheriff thinks you and him are a couple... maybe even spouses.

So that would mean the Sheriff already takes claim to you and you reside with him in the MERC base.

Maybe then Phobos meets you while meeting Sheriff and gets an interest.

Knowing how entitled Phobos is... the moment he's obsessed with you he feels he can just take what he wants.

Phobos would probably try to order Sheriff to hand you over for one reason or another.

You're out of his hands now... so why does the Sheriff fight him?

Meanwhile the Sheriff is trying to find a way to hide you as he loves you

Sheriff knows how Phobos treats those under him.

He probably already has an acute idea of Phobos' plan for you.

Knowing he has no chance I'd imagine the Sheriff would try to run off with you out of Nexus City.

The task would be hard and nearly impossible... but it gives Sheriff a chance, yeah?

Then here's another idea of how this could go.

In this idea you're already with Phobos, willingly or not.

Everyone knows you belong to him, everyone can see you but no one can touch you.

In this scenario I can see Sheriff forming a "parasocial relationship" with you.

He falls for you through images and private appearances with Phobos.

Phobos and you have little to no clue about it.

Your hands are full enough with trying to appease Phobos, you don't even realize Sheriff is putting together domestic fantasies with the two of you together (you and Sheriff).

The Sheriff is smitten and while he he content with fantasies... he really wishes he could have you.

Maybe with a little planning... maybe he can...

As long as he keeps it a secret from Phobos.

Unfortunately every small scenario I think of when it comes to a rivalry between the two ends up screwing Sheriff over sadly.

The power between them is so skewed it either ends up with Sheriff never having you or trying to hide you from Phobos.

Meanwhile Phobos has no problems in this.

As a result this is really all I got.

The rivalry becomes rather one-sided as Phobos just needs to take you and get rid of Sheriff to keep you.

Sheriff can try his best to keep his little darlin' all to himself...

But sadly Phobos gaining you in the end is inevitable.

Anon that request Project Nexus arena mode reader: YES YES, i want to see the main 4(aka Hank,Deimos, Samford and Doc ofc) reaction when Reader meets Phobos and other :3c

Alright, here's another part of those hcs with the rest of the characters. I split this one up again because The Auditor and Tricky's sections weren't long enough for my liking, but these two were finished and I didn't want to make y'all wait for more stuff. The finale will be out tomorrow. As always, thank you for your patience. 😅

[Part 2] They Find Out About the Unarmed Character's Player ft. Phobos & Sheriff (+ The Main 4)

(TW: Yandere, Obsessive Behavior, Violence.)

Phobos had first come to know about your character from reports by his own agents. It seemed they'd attacked one of the Nexus Core's facilities closer to Nevada Central, accompanied by others from the "Status Quo" organization. He'd never heard of anything like this happening before, the only other group he knew of that had any power was the AAHW.

But this wasn't what originally made him interested. The security footage from the attack had shown the enemy's forces breaching the facility with a great amount of efficiency, lead by one of the most unassuming grunts he'd ever seen. Though any doubt about their abilities was thrown out the window when he saw them fight.

The sheer strength they exhibited was shocking; blood splattered the halls of the facility as they crushed, ripped, and tore through his agents like they were nothing. Any and all weapons were disregarded or passed to the other grunts they arrived with, instead they used their bare hands. They didn't even wear gloves, how was it so easy for them to bust through the Nexus agents' protective armor?!?

Within the entirety of the massacre he only saw the grunt pick up a gun to use once, and they didn't even shoot it. Instead, they grabbed it by the barrel and proceeded to bludgeon someone's skull in with its stock, and quite easily at that. It was terrifying.

Although, as Phobos scrutinized the footage, he noticed something very familiar about that grunt. While they didn't use weapons, their evasion style and the way their accuracy was always on point reminded him of someone. Subject 1v02P_6.

He knew it was impossible for the two to have had contact, Subject 1v02P_6 was kept under close watch (as a direct order from him). He was completely sure that they hadn't talked to anyone from outside the Nexus Core at any time. But their maneuvers were still far too similar to ignore. Even if they had acquired one of the Sleepwalker beds and implanted Subject 1v02P_6's memories, none of the patients had ever been this successful (or really sane enough to pull off such complex strategies). There could be only one logical explanation for this.

You must've been involved. His beloved Player.

But this just made more questions come to his mind. Why were you in Nevada Central instead of in Nexus City? What made you join with the Status Quo instead of remaining with him the Nexus Core?

After gathering more intel, he decided that he'd deal with this himself. The other agents didn't deserve to experience your presence before him, and he was the only being really capable of understanding you anyway. One cannot expect lowly grunts to comprehend the matters of Gods like yourselves.

Your character was just minding their own business, having just jumped out of the Helicopter with the boys (who still hadn't left their sides). Apparently the Nexus had decided to try and take the facility again, so it was only natural that they'd be sent to beat them back another time. However, unlike last time, there were no Nexus Agents. They had turned to the others, a warning sitting on the tip of their tongue, but the sound of a door being slammed open jolted them out of their train of thought. Your character and the four who accompanied them faced the doorway, weapons (and fists) held up.

A tall grunt ducked through the entrance, straightening the crimson cape around his shoulders before walking confidently in the direction of your vessel. 2BDamned, who'd been pointing his rifle at him from the moment the door opened, faltered for a moment. What the hell was the Director of the Nexus Core doing out of the city?!?

(You were just talking with your chat before this new "cutscene" happened. "Wait, what? Phobos is here?" You asked, completely unaware of how the grunt visibly brightened at your open acknowledgement of him.)

Grinning widely underneath his bandages, he tried to close the distance between him and your current vessel. He could already feel an inkling of that comforting warmth he'd read about in the Auditor's reports, and heard about from Subject 1v02P_6. He'd been worshiping you for so long, perhaps experiencing your presence in full would be your reward for his devotion? He was already giddy at the thought of it.

Feeling quite exasperated, your character looked up at the Director's lens blankly. "Who're you supposed to be?"

But, to their displeasure, he ignored their question entirely, instead choosing to bow lowly in their direction.

"It is an honor to finally be within your presence, my Player." Oh god, not again.

The others bristled at this, hands tightening to white-knuckled grips on their weapons. Deimos and Sanford were quick to huddle up to your character's sides, the latter putting an arm out in front of them as a protective gesture. They already had to fight amongst themselves for your attention, there's no way in hell they'd let some Nexus Core bastard try and take you from them!

Hank had taken a more direct approach, stepping right in Phobos' way with his gun pointed right at the grunt's head. He knew the others weren't as good at fighting as he was, which was all the more reason why he should be responsible for defending your vessel. He didn't know a thing about who this guy was, but he was fully willing to put himself on the line. (Perhaps you'd show him more attention than the others if he took care of this problem himself?)

They were all itching to put a bullet through his skull, even Doc was gritting his teeth, almost trembling in an effort to keep himself from doing anything too drastic as he weighed his options. (Perhaps starting a war between the Nexus Core and Status Quo by ending the Director would be worth it. If it was for you, he didn't see much of an issue.)

Your character just sighed. They were getting tired of this trend.

Sheriff first "met" your character after taking a job from Phobos, who'd originally tasked him with tailing one of the Nexus scientists, Crackpot. He didn’t know what to expect as he followed him far to Nevada Central, but he was shocked when the doctor pulled up to a fence beside what must be the base of a militant organization (why else would there be armored guards outside?). Although, it’s not like he could openly confront him at the moment; this little venture was supposed to be a stealth operation.

Deciding to stick around and watch, he saw a rather plain-looking grunt step out from the building, the guards giving a nod of acknowledgement to them. They calmly strolled towards Crackpot, looking as if they knew he’d be there. (How long had he been doing this?) A voice echoed through the air, but their mouth didn’t move? “Yo, Crackpot! Got anything new for us?”

He had a dumbfounded expression on his face when the grunt spoke immediately afterward, saying “We'll take that red thing” while pointing to something in the back of Crackpot’s van. Their voice sounded completely different from what he heard earlier. Were they like an insane ventriloquist or something? (And was that Phobos’ cloak?)

Sheriff watched from behind a corner as the grunt swung the cape around their shoulders, freezing when they paused in the middle of fastening it and looked directly at him. Their eyes narrowed in suspicion, and Sheriff felt a cold sweat building up.

“What the- is that Sheriff? I thought he wasn’t in Arena Mode?”

He heard that voice from before speak, and was confused even further when the grunt cocked their head, looking oddly befuddled. “Who?”

Taking this chance to flee, he darted away, disappearing into one of the Alleys as the grunt was preoccupied with asking "themselves" about who he was. Once he was away (and alone in a place where it would be very difficult to shoot him) he reflected on what had just occurred.

There's no way the person was just doing a voice on their own. They wouldn't have been so utterly confused about who he was then. Plus, while Sheriff did like to boast about his notoriety, not many knew of him outside of Nexus City's borders. That was the entire reason Phobos sent him in the first place.

He hummed in thought. Didn't Christoff mention something about some all-powerful being before? "The Player" he called them. They spoke out loud to their "vessels" on occasion. But that was incredibly unlikely, right? Christoff compared coming across you to be like finding a needle in a haystack. And why would you be with this group instead of the Nexus?

The next time he found himself in your character's presence was on yet another mission related to Crackpot. Except this time his job involved observing your character as well.

After mulling over what had occurred last time, he was oddly excited to encounter them. Sure, finding the Player was rare, but what if it was really the Player? He wouldn't pass up a chance to meet you. Maybe you'd even help him out, you did that with Christoff, after all.

Eventually he was led to the First Neveadan Matter Bank. It seemed he was a bit late to the party, the windows were shattered, and gunfire and shouts echoed through the air.

It was easy enough for Sheriff to blend in with the PrivSec forces, all he had to do was keep his head down and pull his hat a bit further over his face so they wouldn't recognize a new person. But as he hesitantly poked his head through the threshold of the doorway, he was struck by the notion that maybe this entire operation was a very bad idea.

The gore that painted the walls was the first clue. Then there were the choked gasps of a Lawman who was desperately clawing at your character's arms as their hands tightened around their throat. Sheriff grimaced as he heard a sickening crunch, blood seeping through the grunt's fingers as they finally loosened their hold on the PrivSec operative before nonchalantly dropping the body to the floor. In an instant they were back in the middle of combat as if nothing had happened; as if they hadn't just crushed the esophagus of someone with their bare hands.

The longer he watched them fight, the more horrified he grew. He was ready just to call it quits and head back to Nexus City when he saw them kick someone so hard they legitimately flew out of the window. (It was actually pretty impressive, given the fact that they were carrying several bags of stuff from inside the vault at the time. His terror was paired with awe. If you were involved, just how powerful were you?).

Before he could commit to running away (again), he was startled by the feeling of someone gripping the back of his duster and yanking him backward. He actually screamed as he scrambled back, eyes darting up to find a red gaze leering down at him. Shit. How bad was his luck for Hank to be here as well?

As he stared up at the barrel of the merc's gun, he gulped, a cold sweat starting to build up. Was this the end? Killed in a bank of all things, in a position where he couldn't even try to fight back?

As Hank's finger started to tighten on the trigger once again, he paused when he heard you.

"Oh damn, another Ranger? No wait, the hat's not right...fuck, wait a minute Hank, is that Sheriff?"

Your vessel had walked outside at your instruction (you'd been curious about why Hank hadn't returned yet, thinking he'd been caught up in another fight). They gave a suspicious look to Sheriff, recognizing his getup from last time. While ordinarily your character couldn't care less about who showed their face in missions, they knew to be cautious whenever you mentioned them. Apparently you knew some powerful (and annoying) grunts. This guy probably wasn't any different.

The cowboy immediately noticed the slight change in temperature once your character made their appearance. It felt like a blast of hot air had erupted out of the doorway, but faded into a slight warmth. His mind was racing. This was exactly what Christoff had described!

As Sheriff was internally freaking out, Hank was still keeping his gun trained on him. But he didn't shoot him. While he loathed the fact that he had your attention, he would follow your orders regardless. Meanwhile, the others had also shown up, appearing behind your character and peeking out from behind them. They knew your grunt would have it handled, but hearing their Player refer to someone else raised their ire. They'd take care of this issue, if you wanted them to.

Sheriff turned to you your character, giving them a shaky, pleading smile. He knew how dangerous those criminals with them were, and he'd rather not end up in a ditch somewhere. Plus, you were rumored to be kind. Maybe you'd help him?

Before your character could really do anything, you spoke once again.

"No, let's just leave him. I'm feeling nice today, chat. Plus you don't get xp from kills in this mission so there's no point anyway."

He let out a relieved breath once Hank begrudgingly lowed his gun. This erased all doubt, it must've been you. He didn't know anyone else who could've made these murderers stop from adding him to their list of victims.

"I-uh, I thank you for this, truly. And, it's a pleasure t'meet you, finally, Player. I've heard good things." He even added a little hat tip in your vessel's direction, how gentlemanly.

Hank's head whipped back around to look at him, and he shrunk back. His already white-knuckled grip on his shotgun tightened to the point he heard a creak from the thing. Now he had to deal with more competition for you?? (He was considering returning once the others left. If he decided to handle this on his own after the fact, he wasn't technically defying your orders, right?)

Doc huffed. Another enemy knowing about your presence wasn't a good sign. He'd never had to worry about others trying to poach your character, given how the SQ was the dominant force in Nevada Central. But if others from across Nevada had an interest in them, how could he make sure you stayed with him them? Perhaps eliminating all other threats would help? He's sure the others would assist him in that.

"Wait. He knows about them too?" Deimos muttered to Sanford, who grumbled in response. This was supposed to be a routine mission. Why must other people insist on interrupting their time with you? Perhaps they'd have to figure out where this information about you was spreading. If they managed to get rid of it, perhaps they wouldn't have to deal with more fools believing they have the right to interact with you.

Meanwhile, your character just gave Sheriff an immensely tired look. He just gazed up at them with complete awe, which they felt like sneering at. They felt a headache coming on. "Please tell me this one isn't going to be a problem too," they mentally pleaded. They just wanted to do their job without dealing with all this drama. Was that too much to ask?
