Hi! I was wondering if I can request platonic!Ashe from overwatch with a daughter!reader? Just like a silly mother daughter dynamic (sorry if u don��t write for Ashe)

Wouldn't Trade you for Anything

-platonic!ashe x daughter!reader

The sun sets low on the horizon, casting an orange glow across the dusty desert town. A soft wind rustles through the cracks in the old, wooden buildings of Deadlock Gorge, Arizona. Inside the hideout, it's a different story—warmth, laughter, and the occasional sound of clinking metal as your mother, Ashe, meticulously polishes her gun, Viper.

You, on the other hand, are sprawled out on the old leather couch, arms behind your head, staring at the ceiling. It’s the end of the day, and you’ve been busy running errands all afternoon. Mom always insists on keeping you on your toes—today it was fixing a few mechanical issues with the vehicles parked in the garage. Nothing you couldn’t handle, of course.

"Y'know, kid," Ashe says, not looking up from her gun, "You're getting pretty good with those tools. Maybe one day, you'll give me a run for my money."

You chuckle, turning your head to face her. "Oh, please. I could probably fix that thing with my eyes closed."

She shoots you a sly grin, raising an eyebrow. "You think so, huh?"

Rolling your eyes, you sit up from the couch. "Definitely."

Ashe laughs, but there's something warm in her tone. "I didn't raise a slacker. I know you’ve got it in you."

You take Viper from her hands gently, inspecting it. The weight of the gun in your hands feels natural, familiar. The polished wood and metal gleam in the soft light. “I’ve got a feeling I could fix this quicker than you could teach me how to fire it."

"Ha!" Ashe scoffs, standing up now. "Alright then, little miss mechanical genius. If you’re so great, fix this."

Your eyes follow her gesture to the wrecked bike resting on the workbench, parts of it scattered all over. "Is this some sort of joke?" you ask, eyebrow raised. "You want me to fix this pile of junk?"

Ashe just smiles, leaning against the counter, arms crossed. "Yeah. I want to see how you handle it. You’ve got the skills, but do you have the patience?"

"Are you implying I don’t have patience?" you ask, a playful smirk tugging at your lips.

"Considering you’re the one who tried to convince me to just blow up the last bike when it wouldn’t start... yeah, I’m implying you lack patience."

You feign offense, pressing a hand dramatically to your chest. "I was being efficient! You can’t deny that blowing it up was a good idea."

Ashe bursts into laughter. “You’re a handful, you know that?”

“Only for you, Mom,” you say, picking up a wrench and getting to work.

"Yeah, and I wouldn’t want it any other way," she replies, her voice warm and sincere as she watches you begin to fix the bike. “You’re definitely my kid, alright.”

The room goes quiet for a while, save for the sound of tools clinking and the occasional sigh from you as you try to figure out where to start.

────────────────────────

Ashe’s footsteps are soft as she walks over to stand beside you, peering over your shoulder.

"How’s it going, genius?" she asks, her tone teasing but laced with affection.

You glance up, a mischievous grin on your face. "Just you wait. I’m almost done."

"Mm-hmm, sure. I’ll believe it when I see it."

At this point, the bike’s looking a lot less like a pile of scrap and a lot more like something that could actually work again. You’ve got the engine reassembled, the wiring sorted, and the chain repaired. It’s been a little bit of a challenge, but you’re confident now.

────────────────────────

“Alright, Mom. Get ready to be impressed,” you announce, wiping your hands on a rag.

Ashe steps back with a dramatic gasp. "Oh, I can’t wait." She crosses her arms again, leaning against the workbench. "This better be good. I’m not just handing out compliments for free."

You stand, wiping your hands on your pants and giving her a smug look before flicking the switch on the bike. The engine roars to life, sputtering for a second before it purrs smoothly.

Ashe’s mouth hangs open for a moment before she nods slowly, impressed. “Well, I’ll be damned. You really do know your way around this stuff.”

“Of course, I do. Who do you think I learned it from?” you tease, your grin widening.

She laughs, shaking her head, but there’s pride in her eyes. “Don’t let it get to your head, kid. But I’ll admit, I’m proud of you. You did good.”

You nod, pleased with yourself. "Thanks, Mom. I guess I’m a pretty good learner."

"You take after me," Ashe says, voice softening, though her usual sarcasm is never too far behind. "I’m glad you're around. Wouldn’t know what to do without you."

You smile, looking up at her with warmth in your eyes. "Same here, Mom. Wouldn’t trade you for anything."

She ruffles your hair affectionately, just the way she always does when she’s feeling particularly proud or sentimental. It’s rare for her to show it, but you can always tell when she does.

"Alright, kid. Let’s go get some dinner. You can gloat over your victory while I pay for it."

You groan playfully. "Ugh, fine. But only because I’m hungry."

"Good. You’ve earned it. And next time we do this, I’m not going easy on you."

"Oh, I’m counting on it," you reply, grinning as the two of you walk out of the workshop together.

Love your writing!

Could I request some nightmare comfort for poor Heather from gn!reader? That girl needs all the love and support she deserves <3

Through the Night

-heather mason x gn!reader

-comfort, fluff

Heather jolts awake with a sharp gasp, the sound slicing through the stillness of the bedroom. Her breath comes in rapid, uneven gulps, her body rigid beneath the thin sheet tangled around her limbs. The shadows in the corners of the room seem to shift, remnants of a nightmare refusing to loosen their grip. She blinks, trying to shake the lingering images—the grotesque, twitching creatures, the suffocating fog, the overwhelming sense of dread that Silent Hill has left carved into her psyche. 

Beside her, you stir. The mattress dips slightly as you move closer, your warmth a stark contrast to the cold sweat clinging to her skin. 

"Heather?" Your voice is soft, threaded with concern, not demanding but gently probing. 

She swallows hard, forcing herself to focus on the present. On you. Not the bloodied walls, not the twisted echoes of Alessa's torment, not the monsters that lurk in her subconscious. Just you. 

"I'm fine," she mumbles, but it's a feeble lie, and she knows you won’t believe it. 

You don’t. You reach out, fingers ghosting over her wrist before settling with careful certainty. "Nightmare?" 

Heather nods, her throat too tight for words. She turns her face slightly, her golden hair falling over her eyes like a veil, shielding her from the weight of your gaze. It's not that she doesn't want you to see her like this—fragile, shaken—but that Silent Hill has taught her to be wary of vulnerability. And yet, with you, it feels different. Safer. 

You shift, sitting up fully, and with gentle insistence, you coax her to do the same. The dim glow of the streetlights outside filters through the curtains, casting a soft halo around her silhouette. She looks so small like this, shoulders hunched inward as though bracing against a phantom wind. 

"Do you want to talk about it?" you ask, giving her the space to decide, to come to you on her own terms. 

She exhales shakily. "It was Silent Hill. Again. I thought it would stop after I left. After everything. But it’s still in my head." 

Your hand is still on her wrist, a steady, grounding presence. "Nightmares don’t mean you're still there. They don’t mean it still has a hold on you." 

Heather lets out a humorless chuckle, running a hand through her damp hair. "Feels like it sometimes. Feels like I’ll never really be free of it." 

You don’t rush to contradict her. You know better than to offer empty reassurances. Instead, you squeeze her hand, letting your silence speak for you—letting it tell her that she doesn’t have to fight this alone. 

Minutes pass, with only the sound of you and Heather breathing. The rise and fall of your chest is a steady rhythm, one she unconsciously matches. 

"Stay close?" she finally whispers, almost embarrassed by the request. 

Your response is immediate. "Always." 

You shift so that your arm is around her now, warm and reassuring, and when she leans into you, her forehead pressing against your shoulder, you feel the way her tension slowly begins to unravel. You don’t press for more words. Some nights are like this—words are too much, too heavy, and comfort comes in presence alone. 

Heather doesn’t thank you aloud, but she doesn’t need to. The way her fingers curl loosely into the fabric of your shirt, anchoring herself to you, says enough. 

Silent Hill may haunt her dreams, but in moments like these, reality feels stronger. 

Eventually, her trembling subsides, her breathing evening out into something steadier. You stay still, letting her dictate the pace. She lifts her head slightly, her eyes catching yours in the dim light. 

You brush your fingers through her hair, pushing it back from her face. "Do you want me to help you fall asleep again?" you ask softly. 

Heather hesitates, but then nods. "Yeah. Just… talk to me? Something normal. Something that doesn’t have monsters in it." 

You think for a moment, then start telling her about something mundane—maybe the little stray cat you saw on your way home the other day, or a story about work, or a memory of a time before either of you knew what true horror looked like. Your voice is steady, a gentle rhythm for her to follow. 

She shifts, curling up against you, her head tucked beneath your chin. Her fingers still cling lightly to your shirt, as if afraid that if she lets go, the nightmares might pull her back under. But she listens, and as the minutes pass, you feel her body relax further. 

"You're really bad at telling stories," she mumbles sleepily, a teasing lilt to her voice despite the exhaustion threading through it. 

You chuckle, relieved to hear even the faintest trace of humor in her tone. "Oh, I’m terrible. But at least it's working." 

She hums in agreement, her grip on you loosening just slightly. You continue talking, letting your voice guide her back into a calmer state. Eventually, her breathing evens out completely, her body melting against yours in sleep. 

You don’t move. Not yet. Instead, you hold her, promising to always keep her safe.

Blood Oath

white mask varré x female!tarnished

smut, bloodkink/bloodplay (obviously), male!dom/female!sub

Drawn by an irresistible hunger, Genevieve finds herself in the frozen wastelands of the Consecrated Snowfield, where fate leads her back to White Mask Varré. In the depths of a blood-soaked cavern, desire and devotion blur—leaving her with only one choice: surrender.

a/n: I originally posted this on my ao3 but wanted to show Varré some love over here on tumblr as well. I usually post more nsfw/taboo stuff over there so if that's something you're interested in, check me out! Please read the tags above and make sure that this is something you will be comfortable reading before proceeding ♡

The wind howled through the twisted trees of the Consecrated Snowfield, its icy fingers clawing at Genevieve’s exposed skin. The frozen landscape stretched endlessly before her, a barren expanse of white that seemed to swallow all light and warmth. The snow fell in thick, relentless sheets, each flake a tiny dagger against her cheeks. She pulled her cloak tighter around her shoulders, the fur-lined fabric doing little to stave off the biting cold. The weight of her blade, strapped securely to her back, was a familiar comfort—a reminder of the battles she had fought and the blood she had spilled. Yet, even that weight felt insignificant compared to the pull that had drawn her here, deep into this desolate wilderness. 

It was an itch beneath her skin, a gnawing hunger that had grown with each passing day. At first, she had tried to ignore it, to bury it beneath the routine of her travels. But the pull was insatiable, a siren’s call that whispered to her in the quiet moments between breaths. It was the same pull that had led her here once before, to this very place where the snow was falling, where the air was thick with the scent of iron and the promise of something more. 

The snow crunched beneath her boots, each step a reminder of the isolation that surrounded her. The cold bit at her cheeks, but she barely noticed. Her mind was elsewhere, consumed by the memory of the last time she had felt this pull. It had been a few days ago, in the heat of battle, when the blood had flowed freely and the line between life and death had blurred. She had tasted it then—the metallic tang of victory, the intoxicating rush of power. And now, that same hunger had brought her back, drawn her deeper into the snowfield, where the shadows seemed to stretch longer and the air felt heavier. 

A shadow broke the blinding white of the snowfall ahead, crimson staining the ice in scattered droplets—bright, fresh. A trail. A promise. 

Genevieve’s breath hitched, her pulse quickening as she followed the trail. The further she walked, the stronger the scent of iron became. The winds carried it like a song, each gust wrapping her in its intoxicating embrace. Her heart pounded in her chest, a steady rhythm that matched the pace of her steps. The snow was falling even heavier now, obscuring her vision, but she didn’t need to see. The scent was enough. It called to her, enchanting her in a way that she could not resist. 

And then she saw him.

White Mask Varré stood at the edge of a frozen lake, his pristine robes smeared with gore, one hand raised to his mask as though lost in thought. His back was to her, but she knew he had already sensed her presence. There was something about him—something that made the air around him feel more dense, charged with an energy that made her skin prickle. She stopped a few paces away, her breath visible in the cold air, her hand instinctively reaching for the hilt of her blade. 

“Ah…” His voice curled through the air, soft and knowing. “Tarnished. What a delight to see you again.” 

Genevieve’s breath hitched, a slow burn beginning in her chest. She could not explain why—why his voice sent warmth down her spine, why his presence left her unsteady. She only knew that it did. 

She stepped forward. “Varré.” 

He turned to her at last, and something deep in her twisted tight. A slow, creeping unease slithered up her spine, warring with the strange, breathless anticipation that curled in her belly. Though his porcelain mask remained smooth and unbroken, hiding his face completely, she could feel his knowing gaze pressing into her. A shiver ran through her—not of fear, but of something darker, something more dangerous. She didn’t need to see his expression to know he was amused, to feel the quiet hunger in the way he regarded her, as if he already knew the effect he had on her.  

“You’re lost, little one,” he murmured, head tilting. “Drawn to me, are you? How deliciously fate plays its hand.” 

She wanted to deny it. She wanted to say she had simply been wandering, that this was coincidence. But the words did not come. 

Varré chuckled, stepping closer. “You have the look of one who has tasted blood. Tell me... has it begun to sing for you yet? Does it call for more?” 

Genevieve swallowed hard. She thought of the battles she had fought, the countless bodies she had left in her wake. How easy it was now, how thrilling. The moment before the kill, the warmth of it spilling over her fingers—it was beginning to feel less like necessity and more like desire. 

And she could see in his eyes that he knew. 

“Come,” Varré said, reaching for her hand. “Let me show you the depths of devotion.” 

She did not pull away. 

The cavern was bathed in red. Torches flickered against the slick walls, their light bouncing off the pools of blood that coated the floor in thick rivulets. Varré led her deeper, their steps echoing softly. The air hung heavy with the scent of iron, a metallic tang that clung to the back of her throat. Genevieve’s pulse thrummed in her ears, each breath heavy with the coppery tang of the air. The hunger inside her stirred—it was an ache, no, a yearning . 

Varré stopped, turning to her with measured patience. “You feel it, don’t you? The way it sings?” His gloved hand rose, brushing over her cheek, his touch featherlight but firm. “You were made for this, Genevieve. The two of us, bound by the same craving.” 

She shivered, heat curling at the base of her spine. His fingers traced downward, skimming the curve of her jaw before tilting her chin up. “Tell me,” he whispered, “do you trust me?” 

Genevieve did not know if she could trust him. But she wanted him. More than she had wanted anything in a long time. 

“Yes,” she breathed. 

His smile widened. “Then surrender.” 

Varré moved swiftly, pressing her back against the cavern wall, the cool stone biting through her armour. His mouth found her neck, his lips ghosting over her pulse, warm and teasing. Genevieve’s breath hitched, her fingers gripping his robes as if to steady herself. 

Then— 

A sharp sting. His teeth, sinking into her skin, just enough to break the surface. 

Her vision blurred. Sensation roared through her veins, hot and dizzying, a pleasure so deep it left her gasping. Blood welled from the wound, and Varré lapped at it, a pleased hum vibrating against her throat. 

Genevieve trembled, her body thrumming with an all to familiar, wicked, delight. 

“You taste divine,” Varré murmured, his voice rich with satisfaction. “And you take to this so well.” 

She let out a shaky breath, her fingers grasping behind his head, tugging him closer. 

“More,” she whispered. 

He obliged. 

His hands made quick work of the clasps of her armour, peeling away the layers between them until only bare skin remained. His touch was warm despite the chill of the cavern, each caress slow, reverent, teasing the fire within her to greater heights. Genevieve arched against him, her body aching for his, lost in the desire and bloodlust. 

Varré moved with careful precision, as if he had planned exactly how he would draw pleasure from her in ways she had never known—never even imagined. 

Varré lifted his head, his eyes gleaming as he studied her. His mask was now askew, revealing more of his face than she had ever seen before. His lips were stained with her blood, a dark red that contrasted sharply with the pale skin of his chin. He looked almost feral, his expression one of satisfaction and possession. 

“You are mine now, little Tarnished,” he murmured, tracing a bloodstained finger over her lips. “Bound to me in ways even the gods cannot sever.” 

Genevieve should have been afraid. Should have recoiled. 

Instead, she smiled. 

And pressed a kiss to his stained fingertips. 

Varré’s eyes darkened at the gesture, a low growl rumbling in his chest. He shifted above her, his body pressing more firmly against hers, and Genevieve felt the heat of his desire once more. Her breath caught in her throat as his hand slid down her side, his touch igniting a fresh wave of need within her. 

“You are insatiable,” he purred, his voice a low, velvety rumble that sent shivers down her spine. “But then, so am I.” 

With a deliberate slowness, he reached up and grasped the edge of his mask. 

Genevieve’s heart pounded as she watched, captivated by the quiet reverence of the motion. His fingers curled around the smooth porcelain, hesitating for only a moment before lifting it away. The dim torchlight flickered over his newly revealed face, casting shifting shadows over sharp, elegant features. His skin was pale, almost ghostly against the crimson glow of the cavern, and his lips—full, cruel, stained faintly with remnants of blood—parted slightly as he exhaled. 

But it was his eyes that trapped her. 

They were piercing, intense, the colour of a storm-tossed sea. Gone was the playful mockery she had always sensed behind his mask; now, stripped bare, there was only raw hunger, a need that mirrored her own. The weight of his gaze sent a shudder through her, her pulse hammering beneath her skin. 

"Better?" Varré murmured, tilting his head slightly, watching her reaction with a sharp curiosity. His voice was softer now, huskier, as if baring himself to her had stirred something even he had not expected. 

Genevieve swallowed hard, her fingers twitching against his robes. "Yes," she whispered, though the word felt too small for the magnitude of what she felt. 

A slow smile curved his lips, not mocking this time, but full of passion. 

"Good," he breathed. 

His lips found hers in a searing kiss, his tongue sweeping into her mouth with a possessiveness that left her dizzy. Genevieve moaned into the kiss, her hands tangling in his hair, pulling him closer. She could taste the metallic tang of her own blood on his tongue, a reminder of the bond they now shared. 

Varré’s hands roamed her body with ease, exploring every curve and dip as if committing her to memory. His touch was firm, demanding, yet there was a reverence in the way he handled her, as if she were something precious. Genevieve arched into his touch, her body responding eagerly to his every caress. 

He broke the kiss, his lips trailing down her neck to the mark he had left earlier. His tongue flicked over the wound, eliciting a sharp gasp from Genevieve. The sensation was a strange mix of pain and pleasure, a reminder of the primal nature of their connection. Varré’s teeth grazed her skin, not hard enough to break the surface, but enough to send a jolt of electricity through her. 

“Do you feel it?” he whispered against her skin, his breath hot and damp. “The way your blood calls to me? The way it sings?” 

Genevieve could only nod, her voice caught in her throat. She did feel it—a deep, primal pull that seemed to emanate from the very core of her being. It was as if her blood recognised him, as if it had been waiting for this moment all along. 

Varré’s hand slid between her thighs, his fingers finding her already wet and eager for him. He chuckled darkly, the sound sending a fresh wave of heat through her. “So responsive,” he murmured, his fingers teasing her sensitive flesh. “You were made for this, Genevieve. Made for me.” 

She cried out as his fingers delved deeper, his touch igniting a fire within her that threatened to consume her entirely. Her hips bucked against his hand, seeking more friction, more pleasure. Varré obliged, his fingers moving with a skill that left her breathless. 

“Please,” she gasped, her nails digging into his shoulders. “Varré, I need—” 

 Varré’s lips curled into a wicked smile, his eyes gleaming with a predatory hunger that sent a shiver down Genevieve’s spine. He withdrew his fingers slowly, savouring the way her body trembled in response, her breath coming in ragged gasps. She inhaled the scent of blood and desire mingling into an intoxicating aroma that made her head spin. 

“Patience, little Tarnished,” he purred, his voice low and velvety, a sound that seemed to vibrate through her very core. “I intend to savour every moment of this.” 

His hands moved to her hips, gripping her firmly as he positioned her beneath him. The cold stone of the cavern floor pressed against her back, a stark contrast to the heat radiating from his body. Genevieve’s breath hitched as she felt the hard length of him pressing against her thigh, a promise of what was to come. Her fingers dug into his shoulders, her nails leaving faint crescent marks in his skin as she clung to him, desperate for more. 

Varré leaned down, his lips brushing against her ear as he whispered, “You are mine, Genevieve. Every drop of your blood, every beat of your heart—it belongs to me.” 

His words sent a thrill through her, a dark pleasure that made her pulse quicken. She could feel the truth of his words in the way her body responded to him, in the way her blood seemed to sing in his presence. There was no denying the bond that had formed between them, a connection that went beyond the physical, beyond the mortal realm. It was as if their very souls were intertwined, bound together by the blood they had shared. 

Varré’s lips trailed down her neck, his teeth grazing the mark he had left earlier. Genevieve gasped as his teeth sank into her skin once more, the sharp sting quickly giving way to a wave of euphoria that left her trembling. She could feel the warmth of her blood as it welled up, the metallic tang filling the air as Varré lapped at the wound, his tongue hot and insistent against her skin. 

“You taste divine,” he murmured against her neck, his voice thick with satisfaction. “I could feast on you for eternity and never grow tired of it.” 

Genevieve’s breath came in shallow gasps, her body arching against his as she sought more of his touch. Her hands tangled in his hair, pulling him closer as she whispered, “More, Varré. Please.” 

He obliged, his firm touch roaming her body. Genevieve’s skin burned wherever he touched, her body responding eagerly to his every caress. She could feel the heat building within her, a fire that threatened to consume her entirely. 

Varré’s lips found hers once more, his kiss fierce and demanding. Genevieve met him with equal fervour, her tongue tangling with his as she lost herself in the sensation. His hands moved to her breasts, his fingers teasing her nipples until they were hard and aching. Genevieve moaned into the kiss, her hips bucking against his. 

Varré broke the kiss, his lips trailing down her body. His tongue flicked over her nipples, drawing a sharp gasp from her as he teased and tormented her sensitive flesh. His hands moved to her thighs, spreading her legs wider as he positioned himself between them. Genevieve’s breath hitched as she felt the heat of his breath against her core, her body trembling with anticipation. 

“Varré,” she whispered, her voice trembling with need. “Please.” 

His tongue flicked out, teasing her sensitive flesh as he explored her with a skill that left her breathless. Genevieve’s fingers tangled in his hair, pulling him closer as she sought more of his touch. Her hips bucked against his mouth, her body trembling with the force of her desire. Varré’s hands gripped her hips, holding her in place as he continued to torment her with his tongue, drawing out every ounce of pleasure he could. 

Genevieve’s breath came in ragged gasps, her body arching against his as she sought release. The tension within her coiled tighter and tighter. She could feel the heat building within her, a wave of pleasure that threatened to overwhelm her. Varré’s tongue flicked over her clit, drawing a sharp cry from her as she teetered on the edge of release. 

“Varré,” she gasped, her voice trembling with need. “I’m so close.” 

He chuckled darkly, the sound sending a fresh wave of heat through her. “Then come for me, little Tarnished,” he murmured, his breath hot against her skin. “Let me feel you fall apart.” 

Genevieve’s body convulsed as the wave of pleasure crashed over her, her cries echoing through the cavern as she came undone. Varré’s tongue continued to tease and torment her, drawing out every ounce of pleasure he could as she rode out the waves of her release. Her body trembled with the force of her climax, her fingers digging into his shoulders as she clung to him, desperate for more. 

Varré lifted his head, his lips stained with her essence as he gazed up at her with a predatory hunger. “You are exquisite,” he murmured, his voice thick with satisfaction. “I could spend an eternity exploring every inch of you.” 

Genevieve’s breath came in shallow gasps, her body still trembling with the aftershocks of her release. She could feel the heat of his gaze on her, tracing every curve of her body, claiming her in ways that went beyond the physical. Her fingers tangled in his hair, pulling him closer as she whispered, “More, Varré. Please.” 

He obliged, his hands moving to her hips as he positioned himself between her legs.  Genevieve gasped as she felt the heat of him against her, her body trembling with anticipation. Varré’s eyes locked with hers, his gaze dark and primal as he whispered, “You are mine, Genevieve. Body and soul.” 

With that, he thrust into her, filling her completely in one swift motion. Genevieve cried out, her back arching off the stone floor as pleasure and pain mingled in a heady cocktail. Varré stilled, allowing her a moment to adjust, his breath coming in ragged gasps against her neck. Genevieve’s fingers dug into his shoulders, her nails leaving faint crescent marks in his skin as she clung to him, desperate for more. 

“You feel perfect,” he growled, his voice strained with the effort of holding back. “Tight and warm and mine.” 

Genevieve wrapped her legs around his waist, pulling him deeper. “Don’t stop,” she pleaded, her voice a desperate whimper. “Please, don’t stop.” 

Varré needed no further encouragement. He began to move, his thrusts slow and deliberate at first, each one drawing a gasp or moan from Genevieve’s lips. But soon, the pace quickened, his movements becoming more frantic, more desperate. Genevieve clung to him, her fingers digging into his back as waves of pleasure crashed over her. 

The cavern echoed with the sounds of their coupling—the slap of skin against skin, the ragged gasps and moans that escaped their lips, the steady drip of blood from the walls. It was a symphony of desire and devotion. Varré’s lips found hers once more, his kiss fierce and demanding. Genevieve could feel the tension building within her again, aching more and more with each thrust. 

Varré’s hand slid between them, his fingers finding her clit and stroking it in time with his thrusts. “Come for me, Genevieve,” he commanded, his voice a low growl that sent shivers down her spine. “Let me feel you fall apart.” 

And she did. With a cry that echoed through the cavern, Genevieve shattered, her body convulsing with the force of her release. Varré followed soon after, his own climax tearing through him with a guttural groan. He buried his face in her neck, his teeth sinking into her skin once more as he spilled himself inside her. 

They lay there for what felt like an eternity, their bodies entwined, their breathing slowly returning to normal. Varré’s weight was a comforting presence atop her, his warmth a stark contrast to the cold stone beneath them.  

Finally, Varré lifted his head, his eyes meeting hers. There was a softness in his gaze that she hadn’t seen before, a tenderness that made her heart ache. “You are mine,” he whispered, his voice barely audible.  

Genevieve smiled, her fingers brushing against his cheek. “Always,” she replied.

In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, may I request some Heather x gn!reader? What they would do to celebrate together and ending on some Heather riding reader smut if that’s still on the table!

A Valentine's to Remember

heather mason x gn!reader

smut

Today was Valentine’s Day, and though Heather had long since left the nightmare of Silent Hill behind, the scars of her past still lingered in the quiet moments. But today was different. Today, she wasn’t the girl who had faced unspeakable horrors; today, she was just a young woman in love, eager to celebrate the day with you.

You stirred awake to the smell of coffee and something sweet wafting from the kitchen. The sheets on Heather's side of the bed were cold, but the faint sound of her humming told you she wasn’t far. You stretched, the memories of last night’s laughter and whispered promises still fresh in your mind. Heather had been insistent that this Valentine’s Day would be special, and you had no doubt she’d go all out to make it unforgettable.

You padded into the kitchen, still in your pajamas, to find Heather standing at the stove, her blonde hair curling around her face. She turned to you with a smile, her eyes lighting up as she saw you.

“Morning, sleepyhead,” she said, her voice soft but teasing. “I was starting to think you’d sleep through the whole day.”

“Not a chance,” you replied, wrapping your arms around her from behind and resting your chin on her shoulder. “What’s all this?”

She gestured to the spread on the counter: pancakes shaped like hearts, fresh fruit, and a pot of coffee that smelled like heaven. “Breakfast,” she said simply, as if it weren’t a big deal. But you knew better. Heather didn’t do things half-heartedly, especially when it came to showing love.

You sat down at the small kitchen table, and Heather joined you, her knee brushing against yours under the table. The two of you ate in comfortable silence, the kind that only comes when you’re completely at ease with someone. Every so often, Heather would glance at you, her cheeks flushing slightly when she caught you looking back.

After breakfast, Heather insisted on cleaning up, shooing you away when you tried to help. “You’re my guest today,” she said, her tone leaving no room for argument. “Just relax.”

You did as you were told, settling on the couch with a book while Heather bustled around the apartment. She had something planned, you could tell, but she wasn’t giving anything away. The anticipation was half the fun.

About half an hour later, Heather emerged from the bedroom, dressed in a simple but stunning outfit—a red dress that hugged her figure in all the right places, paired with boots that added just the right amount of edge. She looked like a vision, and you told her as much.

“You’re not so bad yourself,” she replied with a wink, tossing you a neatly folded outfit. “Get dressed. We’re going out.”

The two of you spent the day exploring the city, hand in hand, a picture-perfect example of a couple in love. Heather led you to a small, indie bookstore, where she insisted on buying you a novel she thought you’d like. Then it was off to a cosy café, where you shared a slice of rich chocolate cake and talked about everything and nothing. Heather’s laughter was infectious, and you found yourself falling for her all over again.

As the sun began to set, Heather suggested that you both return to her apartment to end the day. You walked home together along a path lined with trees, their branches bare against the winter sky. Heather’s hand was warm in yours, and you could feel the tension building between you, the kind that had been simmering all day.

As soon as the door in Heather's apartment closed behind you, she turned to you, her eyes dark with desire. “I’ve been waiting all day to do this,” she murmured, her voice low and husky. She closed the distance between you, her lips meeting yours in a kiss that was both tender and hungry. You pulled her closer, your hands sliding down her back to cup her ass, and she moaned softly into your mouth.

You fell back onto the couch, and the kiss deepened whilst Heather climbed onto your lap, her dress riding up as she straddled you. Her hands tangled in your hair, and you could feel the heat of her through the thin fabric of her panties. She rocked against you, her breath coming in short, desperate gasps.

“Fuck, I want you,” she whispered, her voice trembling with need. “Right here, right now.”

You didn’t need to be told twice. Your hands slid up her thighs, to her core. She was already wet, her arousal soaking through her panties, and you groaned at feeling the physical representation of her desire for you.

“Please,” she begged, her hips lifting off of your body as you tugged her panties aside. “I need you.”

You didn’t make her wait. You placed her on top of you in one smooth stroke, and she cried out, her nails digging into your shoulders. She was tight and hot, and you had to fight to keep your rhythm steady as she clenched around you.

Heather’s head fell back, her breath coming in ragged gasps as she rode you. Your hands moved to her breasts, squeezing and teasing her nipples through the fabric of her dress. She was a vision, her hair a wild halo around her face, her lips parted in pleasure.

“Harder,” she moaned, her hips meeting yours thrust for thrust. “I want it harder.”

You obliged, your hands gripping her hips as you drove into her. The sound of skin against skin filled the air, mingling with yours and Heather’s cries of pleasure. She was close, you could tell, her body trembling as she teetered on the edge.

“Come for me,” you growled, your voice rough with desire. “Let me feel you.”

Heather’s back arched, her body going taut as she came, her inner walls fluttering around you. The sight of her falling apart pushed you over the edge, and you followed her into bliss, your release spilling deep inside her.

For a moment, the two of you stayed like that, your bodies still joined, your breaths mingling in the cold air. Then Heather leaned forward, her forehead resting against yours, and smiled.

“Happy Valentine’s Day,” she whispered, her voice filled with love and satisfaction.

You kissed her again, slow and sweet, it was the perfect end to the perfect day.

Silk and Shadows

Chapter 2: A Velvet Cage

-velvet velour x fem!toreador!pc

-seduction, power dynamics, manipulation, emotional baggage

chapter 1

Juliette finds herself unable to resist Velvet Velour’s pull, accepting an offer of rest despite knowing the cost. As the night wanes, she realises she may have merely traded one prison for another—one she is too tired to escape.

The night stretches long and languid, weaving its spell through the corridors of Vesuvius. Juliette should have left already—should have known better than to get tangled in Velvet Velour’s web once more. But here she is, seated in the dimly lit private booth, feeling the weight of the Toreador’s presence beside her like a second skin.

Velvet’s fingers, still lightly brushing against Juliette’s own, linger as if testing the boundaries of something unspoken. The air between them is thick with things unsaid. The pulse of the club—a steady, decadent rhythm—feels distant now, muffled beneath the sharp clarity of the moment.

“You never answered me,” Velvet murmurs, her voice a warm breath against the charged silence. “About freedom. Does it still taste like ashes?”

Juliette exhales softly, her gaze dropping to the untouched drink before her. “Ashes are better than chains.”

Velvet’s lips curve into something that isn’t quite a smile. “Perhaps. But sometimes, a cage can feel safer than the open sky.”

Juliette doesn’t respond. What would she even say? That she knows the truth in Velvet’s words? That ever since she walked away from Lacroix’s cold dominion and Ming Xiao’s deceit, she has been adrift in a city that does not forgive strays? That she has learned, all too quickly, how the unaligned are hunted like wounded animals, how freedom is just another word for isolation?

“Don’t romanticise captivity, VV,” she says instead, lifting her gaze to meet the other woman’s. “You’re smarter than that.”

Velvet tilts her head, studying her. “I’m a performer, Juliette. I know better than anyone that all things are a matter of presentation.”

Juliette wants to scoff, to push away the familiar pull of Velvet’s presence, but the Toreador’s gaze is steady, unflinching. For all her illusions, there is something in her eyes that is painfully real.

“You’ve been running,” Velvet continues, her fingers tracing the rim of her glass. “You can tell yourself it’s freedom, but I know better. You wouldn’t have come back here if you weren’t tired.”

Juliette swallows hard. She should leave. She should get up, make some flippant remark, and vanish into the night before she becomes another pawn in whatever game Velvet is playing. But she doesn’t move.

Instead, she says, “Maybe I just missed the show.”

Velvet laughs, soft and knowing. “And yet, here we are.”

The night deepens. Juliette doesn’t realise how much time has slipped past until the club begins to thin out. The revelers have had their fill of music, of seduction, of the fleeting escape that Vesuvius provides. But here, in this secluded booth, time moves differently.

“You should stay,” Velvet says suddenly, her voice smooth as silk, yet edged with something Juliette can’t quite place. “At least for a while.”

Juliette hesitates. The offer is dangerous. She knows it the moment the words leave Velvet’s lips. There is no kindness in this world without cost, no sanctuary without hidden teeth. And yet… she is tired. Tired of the hunt, of the uncertainty, of the knowledge that she is always one wrong step away from becoming just another kindred that sees a sunrise.

“Meaning?” she asks, searching Velvet’s face for deception.

“A place to rest,” Velvet replies simply. “Nothing more. No promises, no chains.”

Juliette wants to believe her. Maybe that’s the cruelest part—how easy it would be to fall into this, to let herself be wrapped in Velvet’s world for a little while, to pretend that safety is something she can still have.

She nods, just once, and Velvet’s expression softens, though there is something unreadable in her eyes. “Come,” she says, rising gracefully from the booth. “To my private room upstairs.”

Juliette follows, the weight of the night pressing down on her shoulders. They move through the back corridors of Vesuvius, past dancers and lingering patrons who no longer seem to matter. The world narrows down to the quiet space between them.

Velvet’s room is just as Juliette expected—opulent, drowning in silk and perfume and muted lighting. It is a world apart from the cold streets outside, a stage set for something intimate and dangerous.

“You can take the bed,” Velvet offers, gesturing to the lavish spread of crimson sheets.

She sits at the edge, suddenly uncertain. This should feel like victory. A moment to breathe, to be free from the ever-present paranoia that has shadowed her every step since the night of Lacroix’s fall. But instead, it feels like waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Velvet watches her, then steps forward, slowly, until she is close enough that Juliette can see the glint of something deep in her gaze. “You can relax, you know,” she murmurs. “You don’t have to be on guard with me.”

Juliette almost believes her. Almost.

But as the hours slip by, as the silence stretches between them, she begins to wonder if she has merely traded one kind of prison for another. Because even here, in the safety of Velvet’s embrace, in the quiet lull of whispered conversation and lingering touches, there is no escaping what she is.

A fugitive. A stray. A woman without a future.

And as the dawn begins to creep into the edges of the night, Juliette realises the cruelest truth of all.

There is no sanctuary for creatures like them.

She turns to Velvet, her voice barely a whisper. “This isn’t going to end well, is it?”

Velvet doesn’t look away. “No,” she admits, and there is something almost tender in the honesty. “But that’s never stopped us before.”

Juliette exhales, closing her eyes for a moment. And then, because she doesn’t know what else to do, she stays.

Outside, the city hums, oblivious. The world turns, indifferent to the small tragedies unfolding in the shadows.

And in the stillness of a room that is both a sanctuary and a cage, Juliette wonders if she has already lost.

Hello! I love your overwatch fanfics. Could I request an Overwatch x gn reader fics? Reader takes some OW ladies to the mall. Which shops would they visit? What would they buy for themselves ( and their s/o?) Would they go to a coffee shop, or restaurant there? Characters I would be interested in are Mercy, D.Va, Widowmaker, Kiriko, and Tracer. But if you only write about the first two, that would be good enough for me. Thanks in advance.

Overwatch Mall Dates

-(seperate) mercy, dva, widowmaker, kiriko, tracer x gn!reader

Mercy

The glass doors of the shopping mall slide open as you and Angela step inside, greeted by the cool air conditioning and the hum of chatter from shoppers passing by. A gentle smile plays on her lips as she takes in the lively atmosphere. She’s dressed in casual yet elegant attire, a soft cream-colored blouse tucked into high-waisted jeans, her golden hair tied into a loose ponytail.

“I haven’t been to a mall in ages,” she admits with a chuckle, adjusting the strap of her crossbody bag. “But this will be fun, ja?”

You nod enthusiastically, already envisioning all the stores you’ll visit together. She reaches for your hand, her fingers warm as they intertwine with yours.

Mercy, being the brilliant scientist she is, is naturally drawn to technology stores. As you step inside one filled with the latest gadgets, her eyes light up with curiosity. She walks up to a display of smartwatches and picks one up, studying it with interest.

“These have come a long way,” she murmurs, glancing at you. “Do you have one?”

You shake your head, and she grins. “Perhaps I should get one for you. It would be good for tracking your health!”

You chuckle, knowing she’s always looking out for your well-being. Eventually, she decides to buy a sleek, high-tech fitness band for herself and a matching one for you. She playfully fastens it around your wrist before pressing a quick kiss to your cheek.

“Now we can monitor each other,” she teases.

The next stop is a large, cozy bookstore. The scent of freshly printed pages and coffee from the café in the corner fills the air. Mercy instinctively heads toward the medical section, skimming through various books on neuroscience and cutting-edge medical research. You can’t help but admire how dedicated she is to her work.

But she doesn’t just stick to medicine. Her fingers trail over the spines of novels, and she eventually picks up a beautifully bound collection of poetry.

“I love poetry,” she confesses. “There’s something so soothing about the way words can help heal just like medicine.”

She flips through the pages and smiles. “This one is for me.”

Not wanting to leave you empty-handed, she urges you to pick something out as well. Whether it’s a novel, a graphic novel, or even a journal, she insists on buying it for you.

“A good book is an investment,” she says warmly. “And I would love to hear your thoughts when you finish it.”

Mercy isn’t overly concerned with fashion, but she enjoys looking at elegant and practical clothing. She drags you into a boutique filled with stylish yet comfortable outfits.

“Try this,” she says, holding up a soft sweater in a color she thinks would suit you. “I think it would look wonderful on you.”

She watches as you try on a few items, offering small nods of approval. When she picks something for herself—a simple yet sophisticated blouse—you insist on buying it for her as a gift.

She raises an eyebrow but doesn’t protest too much, her cheeks slightly pink. “I suppose it would be rude to refuse a gift from my partner,” she teases, kissing your cheek.

After all the shopping, you both decide to unwind at the arcade. Mercy isn’t one for video games, but she’s intrigued by the claw machines and lighthearted challenges. You guide her to a two-player shooting game, and she smirks.

“This should be easy,” she muses, gripping the plastic gun. “Precision is my specialty.”

And she proves it. With swift reflexes and sharp focus, she beats your score effortlessly. She turns to you with a triumphant smile. “Perhaps I should join Overwatch’s gaming division?” she jokes.

She also takes an interest in the claw machines, her competitive streak showing as she tries multiple times to win you a plushie. When she finally succeeds, she hands you the soft toy with an accomplished grin.

“For you, my dear.”

After hours of walking, Mercy suggests a break at a charming little coffee shop. The two of you settle into a corner booth, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee filling the air. She orders a classic cappuccino, while you choose your preferred drink.

She sighs contentedly, stirring her coffee. “Days like these are important,” she murmurs. “Life moves so fast—we forget to slow down and simply enjoy it.”

You nod in agreement, reaching for her hand across the table. She smiles, giving your fingers a gentle squeeze.

You both talk about everything and nothing—your favorite parts of the day, funny moments from work, dreams for the future. There’s no rush, no urgency, just the warmth of each other’s company.

As the day winds down, Mercy looks at you fondly. “Thank you for today,” she says softly. “I had a wonderful time.”

She then tilts her head playfully. “Same time next weekend?”

You laugh, nodding. “Absolutely.”

D.Va

You meet Hana outside the mall. She grins when she sees you, adjusting her oversized sweatshirt, a soft pink that matches her signature colors. Her brown hair is tied into twin pigtails, bouncing with each excited step she takes.

"Oh my gosh, we are gonna have so much fun!" she exclaims, practically dragging you forward by the hand. "Where do we start first? Gaming store? Snacks? Ooooh, maybe we should hit up the arcade right away!"

You laugh at her enthusiasm, letting her take the lead. "You pick, Hana. It’s your day too."

She gives you a mischievous wink. "Then buckle up, babe! This is gonna be the best mall date ever."

Hana naturally starts heading toward the gaming section of the electronics store, eyes lighting up at the sight of new releases and high-end peripherals.

"Look at this headset!" she gasps, picking up a sleek model. "This would totally up my game—well, not that I need help, but it would be nice."

You chuckle. "You want it?"

She hesitates for a moment before smirking. "I mean... it’s not like I need it, but… okay, yes, I totally want it. But I’m getting you something too!" She spins around and scans the shelves before grabbing a game she knows you’ve had your eye on.

"Fair trade?" she asks, offering it with a bright smile.

You take the game, nodding. "Deal."

Next, she tugs you into an international snack shop, eyes gleaming at all the colorful packages.

"Oh my god, look! Korean honey butter chips!" she exclaims, grabbing a bag and hugging it dramatically. "These are my childhood in a bag. You HAVE to try them!"

She also stocks up on some Japanese Ramune sodas and a variety of candy, tossing a few surprise treats into your basket as well.

"We’ll need these for later," she says, winking. "Movie marathon later at my place?"

You nod eagerly. "Absolutely."

D.Va isn’t usually one for high fashion, but she loves comfy clothes and statement pieces. She pulls you into a boutique filled with stylish streetwear and casual fits.

"Oooooh, look at this hoodie!" she squeals, holding up a pastel-colored oversized hoodie with a cute bunny design. "Do you think this is too much?"

You shake your head. "It’s perfect for you!"

She tries it on, striking a dramatic pose. "Guess I gotta get it then! But only if you pick out something too."

She helps you browse, insisting on finding something that makes you feel as comfortable as she does in her new hoodie. Eventually, she picks out a piece of the same colour—maybe a jacket, or even socks, anything to subtly twin with you.

"Now we’re an unstoppable duo!" she laughs.

It wouldn’t be a date with D.Va without a trip to the arcade. She beelines straight for the rhythm games, cracking her knuckles with a confident smirk.

"Hope you’re ready to lose," she teases, already stepping onto the dance pad.

Despite your best efforts, she absolutely demolishes you at Dance Dance Revolution. She’s practically a blur, moving flawlessly to the beat.

"Not bad, babe," she teases, ruffling your hair. "But maybe I should coach you?"

You get your revenge at a racing game, where a well-timed drift secures your victory. She gasps in mock betrayal. "HOW?! I am literally a pro at this!"

She pouts but laughs, shaking her head. "Okay, okay, you got me. But next time, I’m totally getting my win back."

Before leaving, she spots a claw machine and gets that determined look in her eye. "Wait. I need to win something for you."

After several failed attempts, she finally snags a plushie—a tiny, chubby bunny that she eagerly hands over to you.

"There! Proof of my love," she declares, eagerly awaiting your reaction.

You smile, holding the plushie close. "I love it."

After hours of fun, the two of you decide to take a break at a bubble tea café. She orders a taro milk tea with extra boba and suggests you try something new.

"You always stick to the same flavors," she teases. "Branch out! Try this one, it’s my favorite."

She steals a sip of yours before you even get a chance to taste it. "Mmmm, not bad," she hums. "But mine’s better."

You both sit by the window, sipping your drinks and watching people pass by.

"This was fun," she says, resting her head against your shoulder. "I needed this. Just a chill day with you, no responsibilities, no stress."

You squeeze her hand, and she grins, nudging you. "We gotta do this again. Maybe next time, we’ll bring some friends and make it a full-on outing. But don’t worry, you’re still my favorite person to goof around with."

As the sun starts to set, she stretches and smirks. "Sooo... still on for movie night at my place? Snacks and cuddles included?"

You nod, grinning. "Lead the way."

Widowmaker

The air in the shopping mall is thick with chatter and the soft hum of background music. The neon lights from various storefronts cast colorful reflections against the polished floors. As you step inside, Amélie follows beside you, her gait elegant and deliberate, her golden eyes scanning the environment with quiet scrutiny. She wears a fitted black turtleneck, dark skinny jeans, and heeled boots—an effortlessly sophisticated look that makes her stand out even in a crowd.

“I do not understand the appeal of malls,” she says, folding her arms as she surveys the bustling scene around her. “Too many people. Too much noise.”

You smirk, nudging her playfully. “That’s why we’re here together. To make it more tolerable.”

She exhales softly, a hint of amusement in her eyes. “Very well. Lead the way, mon amour.”

Amélie isn’t one for frivolous shopping, but she does have a taste for the finer things in life. You guide her into an upscale fashion boutique, where the air smells of expensive perfumes and the racks are lined with designer pieces.

She trails her fingers over a sleek, navy-blue dress, tilting her head slightly as she examines the fabric. “This is elegant,” she murmurs, seemingly lost in thought.

You watch her with interest. “You should try it on.”

She gives you a look, arching a delicate brow. “Perhaps. But only if you find something as well.”

After some searching, she selects a deep wine-red scarf for you. “This will suit you,” she states simply before making her way to the fitting rooms.

When she steps out, the dress hugs her figure perfectly, and for the briefest moment, a small, almost imperceptible smile crosses her lips as she meets your gaze.

“Stunning,” you say sincerely.

She smirks, running her fingers through your hair. “You are not so bad yourself.”

Next, you find yourself in a specialty perfume boutique. Amélie takes an immediate interest, her sharp senses attuned to even the subtlest of fragrances.

She picks up a deep violet-colored bottle and sprays a tester strip, bringing it close to her nose. “Rich. Sophisticated. Hints of night jasmine,” she notes aloud, offering the strip to you.

You inhale and nod. “It suits you.”

She selects a second bottle, a lighter scent with citrus undertones, and holds it up to you. “And this one… it reminds me of you.”

The intimate moment is not lost on you. She purchases the jasmine fragrance for herself and, to your surprise, buys the citrus one as well.

“A reminder of today,” she murmurs, tucking it away in her bag.

At your suggestion, you step into a small, modern art gallery nestled within the mall. Amélie's sharp gaze flickers over the paintings and sculptures with something akin to appreciation.

She pauses before an abstract painting of a midnight cityscape. “There is something… haunting about it,” she observes. “A quiet loneliness.”

You nod, standing beside her. “Do you like it?”

She takes a lingering glance before turning to you. “Perhaps.”

Moving on from the painting, she notices a small, delicate figurine—a silver ballerina frozen mid-pirouette.

“You danced once, didn’t you?” you ask gently.

She nods, tracing the figurine’s pose with her fingertip. “A long time ago.”

She quickly averts her eyes and moves on without another word.

When you suggest a stop at the arcade, she gives you an incredulous look. “You think I would enjoy such a place?”

“Trust me,” you say with a grin.

The moment she sees the virtual shooting range, however, a smirk tugs at her lips. “Ah. Now I see.”

She steps up to the machine, selecting the hardest difficulty without hesitation. With effortless precision, she takes shot after shot, her reflexes impossibly fast. The attendant stares, slack-jawed, as she clears the entire challenge with a perfect score.

“You're enjoying this!” you note with a chuckle.

She lowers the plastic gun, her expression unreadable. “Perhaps.”

As the day winds down, the two of you retreat to a quiet café away from the crowds. She orders an espresso, the deep aroma of coffee curling through the air.

She watches you over the rim of her cup, studying you in that meticulous way she always does. “Did you enjoy yourself?”

You smile. “I did. And you?”

She tilts her head slightly, considering. “It was… not unpleasant.”

You chuckle. “I’ll take that as a win.”

She sets her cup down, eyes softening just slightly, and a hint of a smile on her lips. “Perhaps we should do this again sometime.”

You take her hand in yours, pressing a light kiss to her knuckles. “I’d like that.”

Kiriko

The moment you step into the shopping mall, Kiriko spins around on her heel and grins at you, her energy infectious. She's wearing a casual hoodie, paired with leggings and sneakers that let her move freely.

“I hope you’re ready for an adventure!” she exclaims, grabbing your hand and tugging you toward the first set of stores. “Malls are full of surprises, you just have to know where to look.”

You chuckle, letting her lead. “I trust your judgment. Where to first?”

She taps her chin in exaggerated thought before smirking. “Somewhere fun, obviously.”

Before you can blink, Kiriko has already pulled you into a bustling arcade, her eyes immediately locking onto the rhythm game section. She bounces on the balls of her feet, practically vibrating with excitement.

“Oh! Dance Battle?” she asks, nudging you toward the flashing game. “Think you can keep up?”

You laugh, stepping onto the pad beside her. “We’ll see.”

The moment the game starts, Kiriko moves like a blur, effortlessly stepping to the beat with perfect timing. She giggles, throwing in a playful spin before landing back on her mark. “C’mon, you gotta move faster than that!”

Despite your best efforts, she completely outmatches you, and when the round ends, she throws her arms up in victory. “That’s one win for me! What’s next?”

She challenges you to a shooting game next, surprising you with her dead-on accuracy. “Ninja reflexes,” she teases. “It’s kind of my thing.”

You shake your head, grinning. “I should’ve known.”

Before leaving, she insists on playing a claw machine. “I’m totally winning you something,” she declares confidently, cracking her knuckles.

Several failed attempts later, she groans in frustration before finally managing to grab a small fox plushie. She holds it up triumphantly. “Aha! Behold! Your very own lucky fox guardian!” She presses it into your hands with a proud grin. “Take good care of them.”

After working up an appetite at the arcade, Kiriko drags you toward a Japanese food stall. Her eyes sparkle as she surveys the selection, her fingers twitching as if unsure what to grab first.

“Oh man, they have taiyaki!” she exclaims, pointing at the golden, fish-shaped pastries filled with custard. She orders one and immediately takes a bite, sighing in satisfaction.

“You have to try this,” she insists, breaking off a piece and holding it up for you. When you take a bite, she watches you expectantly. “Good, right?”

You nod. “Delicious.”

She then buys a few packs of mochi and matcha-flavored candies, tossing an extra bag into your hands. “For later,” she says with a wink. “Snacking is an important part of any adventure.”

Kiriko’s excitement reaches new heights when she spots an anime and collectibles store. “Okay, we have to go in here.”

The moment you step inside, she’s already darting between aisles, gasping at figurines, plushies, and posters of her favorite series. She picks up a fox mask and holds it up to her face. “Think this would make me look even cooler?”

You chuckle. “You don’t need any help in that department.”

She grins, setting the mask down before grabbing a keychain featuring a tiny kitsune charm. “This one’s for you,” she says, handing it to you. “To remind you of me.”

You take it, touched by the gesture. “Thanks, Kiriko.”

You both move onto clothes shopping. Kiriko is less interested in high fashion and more in finding comfortable, stylish streetwear. She picks out a hoodie with fox ears and immediately pulls it on over her current one.

“What do you think?” she asks, spinning around. “Too much?”

You smirk. “It’s very you.”

Satisfied, she picks out a matching one for you. “Now we can be a team,” she jokes, nudging your side.

She also snags a few socks with tiny fox patterns, holding them up proudly. “These are essential,” she declares.

“Essential for what?”

She grins. “For being awesome.”

As the day winds down, Kiriko drags you to a bubble tea café, claiming it as the perfect way to end the adventure. She orders a matcha milk tea with extra pearls and excitedly watches as you try a new flavour she recommends.

She takes a long sip and leans back in her chair with a satisfied sigh. “This was a good day.”

You nod, mirroring her relaxed posture. “It was.”

She twirls her straw between her fingers before looking at you with a teasing smile. “See? Told you malls could be fun.”

You chuckle. “You're right, I had a great time.”

Kiriko stretches her arms above her head and then rests her chin on her hands. “Next time, we’ll have to plan something even bigger.”

You raise an eyebrow. “Even bigger?”

She grins. “Obviously. This is only the beginning.”

With a final sip of her drink, she hops up, reaching for your hand. “C’mon, let’s go. We still have a whole evening ahead of us.”

Tracer

The doors of the shopping mall slide open, and in a blink, Lena is already a few steps ahead of you, spinning on her heel with a bright grin. She wears a casual bomber jacket over a simple tee, ripped jeans, and her signature orange-tinted goggles perched on her forehead. Her short brown hair bounces as she shifts her weight from foot to foot, practically buzzing with excitement.

“C’mon, love! No time to waste!” she chirps, grabbing your wrist and gently tugging you forward. “We’ve got a whole mall to conquer!”

You chuckle, matching her pace. “You act like we’re on a mission.”

“Every day’s a mission if you do it right!” she winks. “First stop—hmm—oh! Let’s find somethin’ fun!”

Lena zips toward a sneaker shop, pressing her hands against the glass before turning back to you with a determined look. “Alright, hear me out. I should get some new shoes, yeah?”

She’s already inside before you can reply, weaving through the aisles, eyes darting from one display to the next. She holds up a pair of high-tops, then a flashy set of running shoes, glancing at you for approval.

“These? Or these?” she asks, holding them side by side. “Speed or style?”

You raise an eyebrow. “You’re already fast. Do you really need running shoes?”

She gasps dramatically. “Oi! Every second counts!”

Eventually, she settles on a sleek, lightweight pair—perfect for quick movement. But before leaving, she insists on picking a matching pair for you. “Gotta keep up with me somehow,” she teases, nudging you playfully.

The next stop is a videogame store, Lena darts straight to the new releases, eyes widening as she skims the shelves.

“Oh! Look at this one!” she exclaims, pointing at a fast-paced racing game. “Bet I could beat ya at it!”

You smirk. “Confident, are we?”

She grins mischievously. “More like realistic.”

After a quick back-and-forth, you both decide to pick up a multiplayer game to play together later. She slings an arm around your shoulder as you both head towards the checkout.

Lena has a very distinct style—effortlessly cool with a touch of rebellious charm. So when you both pass a trendy streetwear store, she practically bounces inside, scanning the racks with keen interest.

“Oh, now this is proper wicked,” she says, pulling out a cropped bomber jacket. She holds it up against herself, then eyes you. “You’d look great in one too!”

She insists on matching jackets, and after some playful coaxing, you agree. She also picks up a new beanie and a set of fingerless gloves, which she immediately puts on.

“Nice, right?” she asks, wiggling her fingers. “Looks like I’m ready for a heist.”

“You’re plenty mischievous without the gloves.”

She throws her head back in laughter. “Guilty as charged!”

After all the shopping, Lena’s stomach lets out an audible growl. She dramatically clutches her stomach. “I'm starving!”

You lead her toward the food court, where she scans the stalls, eyes gleaming. “Oh! Burgers? Sushi? Chicken?"

She eventually settles on a little bit of everything. As she digs in, she chats between bites, telling animated stories from past Overwatch missions.

“So there I was, blinkin’ in and out, dodging lasers, and then—bam! Right hook to the baddie, and he’s down for the count!”

You shake your head, amused. “You’re impossible.”

She smirks. “That’s why you love me.”

On your way out, Lena spots an old-school photo booth. Her eyes light up. “Oh, we have to do this!”

She pulls you inside before you can protest, stuffing a few coins into the slot. “Alright, make funny faces!”

The machine clicks away as she leans into you, pulling faces—one with her tongue sticking out, another where she pretends to be mid-blink. In the last frame, she turns suddenly and kisses your cheek just as the camera flashes.

When the photos print, she snatches them up, beaming. “Look at us, a right pair of troublemakers.”

You shake your head, taking one of the strips. “We make a good team.”

She grins, stuffing her set into her jacket pocket. “The best.”

As the two of you walk out of the mall, she loops an arm around your waist. “Same time next weekend?”

You smirk. “Only if you don’t leave me in the dust.”

She laughs, leaning into you. “No promises, love.”

So glad that you liked it! It really means a lot to me when people enjoy my work ^_^ . I'm so sorry it took me a while to write, but I've been really busy with irl stuff recently. Happy belated birthday and hope that you had a lovely day <3

[zenithangelic]

Hi! never done this before! Can I request Heather Mason x gn!reader sharing their first kiss or just a cute first meeting?

Just a Kiss

- heather mason x gn!reader

The cool night air nips gently at your skin as you walk beside Heather Mason, the neon lights of the quiet town casting strange reflections in the puddles left by the earlier rain. The two of you had been wandering aimlessly, sharing idle conversation, the kind that never needed a purpose—just the comfort of hearing each other’s voices, the warmth in the laughter exchanged.

Heather kicks at a loose stone, watching it skitter along the pavement. Her usual easy confidence is still there, but there’s something softer about her tonight. Less guarded, more open, as though the weight she always seems to carry on her shoulders has lightened, if only slightly. You find yourself stealing glances at her in the dim light—at the way her blonde hair catches the glow of the streetlamps, at the faint crease between her brows when she gets lost in thought.

You’ve been friends for a while now, bound together by a shared understanding of things that most others wouldn’t believe. There’s something grounding about her presence, something that makes you feel safer than you have in a long time. You never expected to get this close to someone like her, but Heather is… different. Special. And lately, you’ve felt something shifting between you—something you feel too scared to admit to her. You wonder if she feels it too, or if you're just imagining things.

“Hey,” Heather says suddenly, breaking the comfortable silence. She stops walking, turning to face you with that teasing smirk you’ve grown so used to. “You ever wonder why people make such a big deal out of their first kiss?”

The question catches you off guard, and you tilt your head in thought. “I guess because it’s supposed to be meaningful?” You answer, though it comes out more like a question.

Heather snorts, crossing her arms. “Yeah, but it’s just lips touching. Not like the world’s gonna explode or something.”

You chuckle. “That would definitely make things interesting.”

She grins at that, but then her expression softens, something contemplative flickering in her warm brown eyes. “I mean, I get it. It’s a moment, right? A big moment. But maybe people put too much pressure on it.”

You hum in agreement, though your heart is starting to pound in a way that has nothing to do with the chill in the air. There’s something in the way she’s looking at you now, something unreadable but undeniably affectionate. You want to believe she sees you the same way you see her, but the uncertainty keeps you silent.

“Have you ever—” You hesitate, then shake your head with a small laugh. “Never mind.”

Heather raises an eyebrow. “What? No, you can’t just start and stop like that. Have I ever what?”

You swallow, suddenly very aware of the closeness between you. “Have you had a first kiss?”

She scoffs, but there’s a pinkish hue rising to her cheeks. “What kind of question is that?”

“A simple one.”

Heather huffs, stuffing her hands into her jacket pockets and looking off to the side. “Well… no. I mean, not really. I’ve never thought much about it.” She kicks at another rock, then shifts her weight slightly. “Have you?”

You shake your head, and she lets out a quiet laugh. “Guess we’re in the same boat, then.”

Silence stretches between you again, but this time it’s charged with something different. Something that makes your pulse quicken. Heather’s eyes flick to your lips, just for a second, before she quickly looks away, exhaling sharply. You catch it—just a fleeting moment—but it makes your breath hitch. Could it be that she…?

“This is dumb,” she mutters, mostly to herself. Then, before you can ask what she means, she steps closer. The warmth of her body is palpable even through the cold, and your breath catches as she hesitates, her gaze searching yours for any sign of uncertainty. “We could just… get it over with.”

Your heart skips a beat. “What?”

She rolls her eyes, but there’s no malice in it. If anything, she looks nervous, which is something you rarely see from her. “A first kiss. You and me. Just to, you know, take the pressure off.”

Your lips part, but no words come. It’s not that the idea is unappealing—in fact, it’s the opposite. You’ve wanted to kiss Heather for a while now, but you never expected her to suggest it so casually. But maybe this is her way of hiding how she really feels. Maybe she wants this just as much as you do.

She shifts on her feet again, the bravado in her posture wavering. “Unless that’s weird,” she adds quickly. “I don’t want to make things awkward—”

You shake your head before she can finish. “It’s not weird.”

Heather blinks at you, her lips parting slightly as if surprised by your answer. Then, slowly, she steps even closer, tilting her head up just enough so that your faces are barely inches apart. Her breath fans against your skin, and you can smell the faint hint of something sweet—maybe the remnants of whatever candy she had earlier.

“Okay,” she whispers.

Your heart thuds against your ribs, but you don’t pull away. Heather’s eyes flutter shut, and you do the same, anticipation curling in your stomach. Then, finally, she leans in, and your lips meet in a feather-light touch.

It’s soft. Tentative. A little awkward at first, but in a way that makes it even more perfect. Heather’s fingers brush against your wrist as if unsure whether to hold on or pull back, but you find yourself leaning into her warmth, and that’s all the encouragement she needs. The kiss deepens, just enough to leave you breathless, and for a moment, nothing else exists but the quiet hum of the night and the feeling of Heather's lips against yours.

When she finally pulls away, her cheeks are pink, and she lets out a breathless laugh. “Huh.”

You raise an eyebrow. “Huh?”

She grins, rubbing the back of her neck. “Not bad. Kinda nice, actually.”

You laugh, the tension melting away into something warm and light. “Yeah. It was.”

Heather glances at you from beneath her lashes, then bites her lip before speaking. “I, uh… I’ve kind of wanted to do that for a while.”

Your heart skips a beat, your breath catching in your throat. “You have?”

She nods, looking away as if embarrassed but unable to keep the small smile from her lips. “Yeah. I just… wasn’t sure if you felt the same.”

You squeeze her hand gently. “I do.”

Heather finally looks back at you, her expression soft, relieved. Then, with a quiet chuckle, she shakes her head. “Guess we were both kind of clueless, huh?”

You laugh, squeezing her hand a little tighter as you resume walking, fingers intertwined, and happier than you have ever been before.

Hai could I get fo4 complete reaction to the sole survivor being very big on giving praise? Like they're constantly complementing the companions but not in an overbearing way :) thank uuu

FO4 Companions reacting to the Sole Survivor's praise:

Cait

At first, she’s incredibly suspicious. Compliments? From someone who doesn’t want anything? She’s waiting for the catch.

Once she realises it’s genuine, she gets flustered and awkward, brushing off praise with a “Yeah, yeah, don’t go getting soft on me.” But she starts subtly craving it.

Eventually, she starts preening a bit when she hears it, standing a little taller. “Damn right I’m good at this,” she’ll say, with a small but proud smile.

Codsworth

Absolutely adores it. He lives to serve, and knowing Sole appreciates him fills him with robotic joy.

“Oh, you are too kind! I do try my best, of course!” He starts adding a little flourish when serving them tea, trying to impress them.

Might even get a little smug when others don’t get as much praise. “Ah, not everyone can be as meticulous as yours truly!”

Curie

Delighted and fascinated by Sole’s positivity, especially when directed at her scientific skills.

“Oh! You really think my work is amazing? That is… oh, you make me blush!” She absorbs every word like a sponge, eager to impress them further.

Over time, she starts paying the praise forward, complimenting others in the group in an adorable, awkward way: “Yes, Cait, you… hit that man so well! Such force!”

Paladin Danse

Completely unsure of how to process it at first. Praise was always tied to performance in the Brotherhood, not simple appreciation.

Starts standing up straighter, subtly shifting into parade rest every time he is praised. “That’s… good to hear, soldier.”

He may not say it, but it means something to him. Eventually, he starts seeking approval in small ways, hoping to get an extra “Outstanding work” when he pulls off something impressive.

Deacon

Smug as hell about it at first. “Oh, stop it, you charmer, you’ll make a spy blush.”

But deep down? It gets to him. Compliments aren’t something he gets often—especially not genuine ones.

He starts responding more sincerely over time, quietly muttering, “Y’know, you’re not too bad yourself.” That’s Deacon for I’m touched beyond words.

Dogmeat

Is a dog. Therefore, absolutely loves the praise and thrives on it.

Tail-wagging intensifies with every “Good boy!” until he’s practically vibrating.

Starts bringing the Sole Survivor even more random junk from the wasteland, tail wagging proudly as he receives his due recognition.

Gage

At first? Suspicious as hell. Compliments in Nuka-World usually meant someone wanted something.

Eventually, he starts accepting them at face value, though he plays it cool: “Yeah, well, I am pretty damn good at what I do.”

But if he ever hears a genuine “I trust you,” that’s it. That’s the moment he realises he’s actually loyal to them, no strings attached.

John Hancock

Drinks it up like the finest chems. “Oh, you really do know how to sweet-talk a ghoul.”

Starts playfully fishing for them. “I dunno, was that a badass move or the most badass move?”

But after a while, he stops playing—he just enjoys hearing them say nice things. It reminds him that he’s worth appreciating.

Robert MacCready

At first? Incredibly awkward. “Uh… thanks? I guess?” He’s not used to compliments that aren’t sarcastic.

Eventually, he starts mumbling a quiet “Thanks” and actually appreciating it. He never realised how much he craved validation.

If they ever tell him he’s a great dad? That’s it. He’s done. Might actually tear up.

Nick Valentine

Smirks at first, taking it in stride. “Careful, kid. A fella might start thinkin’ you like having him around.”

But deep down? It means a hell of a lot. People don’t usually appreciate him as more than an old synth detective.

Eventually, he starts throwing it right back. “Well, you’re not half bad yourself, partner.” And from him, that’s high praise.

Piper Wright

Blushes furiously at first, brushing it off. “Pfft, come on, you’re making me sound cooler than I am.”

Eventually, though? She starts believing it. Starts walking with a bit more confidence, feeling like she is as capable as they say she is.

She starts writing about them in a new way—not just as a legend, but as a genuinely good person.

Preston Garvey

Blinks the first time they compliment him, looking genuinely surprised. “You really mean that?”

He’s so used to being the one lifting everyone else up—it takes him a while to accept that someone wants to do the same for him.

Eventually, he starts smiling more. “Thanks, General. That means a lot.” And it really, really does.

Strong

Confused at first. Why is human saying nice things? What is this strange behavior?

Eventually, decides it is a human battle custom and accepts it. “YES. STRONG IS GOOD SMASHER.”

Might even start attempting his own version of praise: “HUMAN… IS GOOD TOO. NOT AS STRONG AS STRONG. BUT GOOD.”

X6-88

Is initially just... silent. He doesn’t know how to react. Compliments aren’t part of his programming.

Eventually, he just nods at them. “Noted.” But his tone softens over time.

He never outright asks for it, but if they ever stop praising him? He might just subtly start working harder for it.

Ada

Initially confused but appreciative. “That is… unexpected. Most humans do not take the time to compliment machines.”

Over time, she begins to recognise it as genuine appreciation and responds in kind. “Your leadership is commendable. I am… grateful to be part of this.”

Though she may not have emotions like a human, her tone becomes just a touch warmer when speaking to Sole, like she’s learning what it means to feel valued.

Automatron

Default programmed response: “Thank you for your feedback.”

But if they keep it up, the bot might start adapting its speech patterns. “Analysis: Positive reinforcement detected. Conclusion: You are… kind.”

If modified with a personality matrix, the bot might get cocky. “Yes, yes, I am the pinnacle of engineering excellence. Carry on, human.”

Old Longfellow

Grumbles about it at first. “Damn fool, ain't no need to butter me up. Just doin’ what I always done.”

But over time, he starts getting used to it. Starts looking forward to Sole’s words, even if he won’t admit it.

The real moment of breakthrough? When he finally mutters, “Heh. Y’ain’t so bad yourself, kid.” That’s Longfellow for I respect the hell outta you.

Porter Gage

At first? Suspicious as hell. Compliments? That ain't how the real world works. “Yeah, yeah, what angle you workin’, boss?”

But once he realises Sole is just… like that, he starts soaking it in. “Damn. Not used to hearin’ that kinda thing. Feels… nice, I guess.”

Eventually, he starts giving them a nod of approval in return. “Gotta say, boss—you got a way of makin’ folks wanna follow ya. Guess I picked the right side after all.”

could I get a late game sole survivor who treats settler guards like her personal army, then looks at herself in the mirror and realizes she's kind of become a dictator? moving them around, putting them in harms way, scrapping and rebuilding their homes etc. and 99% of the time she doesn't care but 1% of the time she breaks down in private. weird one I know

The Warden of the Wastes

The night is quiet, a rare gift. No distant gunfire cracks in the distance. No storm hums on the horizon. Just stillness, broken only by the faint creak of wooden supports swaying in the evening breeze.

Nora stands alone in her quarters, a sparse room at the heart of Sanctuary Hills. It’s her stronghold now, a fortress forged from the scraps of her old neighborhood. The walls are lined with maps, pinned with routes and sketched defenses. A small desk is cluttered with ledgers and manifests tracking supplies, rations, and shifts for the settlers-turned-guards.

Her armour rests in the corner, the scorch marks and dents from countless battles etched into the steel. Her rifle leans beside it, the weapon as much a part of her as the scars running across her arms. But none of it feels like her anymore.

Nora stands in front of the mirror, staring into a face she barely recognises.

“What have you become?” she whispers, her voice hollow.

The question haunts her.

Earlier that day, she had been barking orders in the town square. The settlers scurried to obey, their movements precise and practiced, their expressions blank. Marcus, the guard captain, had approached her with his usual stiff salute.

“Ma’am, about the east ridge patrol—”

“We need more coverage,” Nora cut him off, her tone sharp. “Raiders hit Abernathy last night. Double the patrols, reinforce the perimeter.”

Marcus hesitated, just for a moment. “We’re stretched thin. We’ve already pulled guards from Starlight and Red Rocket.”

“Figure it out,” she snapped. “I don’t care how. Pull settlers from farming duty if you have to.”

“Yes, ma’am.” His voice was flat, his salute robotic. He turned and walked away without another word.

Watching him go, Nora felt a flicker of unease. She crushed it quickly.

That evening, she stood by the gates as the patrols assembled.

“Stay sharp out there,” she told the guards as they checked their weapons. Her voice carried authority, but no warmth.

A young recruit, barely more than a teenager, nodded enthusiastically. “We’ll handle it, ma’am. You can count on us.”

Nora didn’t meet his eyes. Instead, she looked at the rifle in his hands, far too big for someone so small. She felt a knot in her stomach but pushed it down. He’d volunteered. They all had.

When the patrol marched out, their footsteps fading into the night, Nora turned back toward the settlement. The houses were neat and uniform, rebuilt to her specifications. The crops were perfectly aligned in the fields. Turrets hummed softly on their mounts, scanning for threats.

It was everything she’d worked for. Everything she’d fought for.

So why did it feel so wrong?

Her quarters are dark now, the only light coming from the moon filtering through the cracked window. She sits on the edge of her bed, her head in her hands. Memories surge to the surface, vivid and unrelenting.

There’s the face of young Charlotte, who begged for a chance to prove herself. Nora had assigned her to a dangerous patrol route near Starlight Drive-In. When raiders ambushed her group, Charlotte didn’t come back.

Then there’s old Mrs Ricci, who pleaded with Nora not to tear down her shack. “It’s all I have left,” the woman had said, her voice trembling. But Nora needed the space for a barracks expansion, and Mrs Ricci left the settlement the next morning, vanishing into the wasteland.

Nora stares at the mirror again. The reflection doesn’t flinch, even as her fists clench at her sides.

The settlers call her “Commander” now. Some still say “General,” but most have stopped pretending it’s just a title. They don’t question her orders. They don’t argue, even when she uproots their lives, sends them into danger, or tears apart the little comforts they’ve managed to build.

They trust her.

And that trust crushes her.

She doesn’t cry. Not yet.

Instead, she remembers how it started. Back then, she thought she was building something better—sanctuaries for the lost and broken. She thought she was saving people.

Now she’s not so sure.

The settlers work themselves to exhaustion under her watchful eye. The guards risk their lives daily, protecting trade routes and holding the line against the chaos outside the walls. They depend on her, and she keeps them alive.

But at what cost?

Her chest tightens as the weight of it all presses down. For months, she’s been too busy, too focused, too numb to think about what she’s become. But here, alone in the dark, the truth is inescapable.

Nora has turned settlements into fortresses. And herself into a tyrant.

_____

The next morning, she’s up before dawn, moving through the settlement like a shadow. She inspects the defenses, checks the crops, and speaks with the guards. Her voice is calm, measured, and steady.

But something has changed.

When Marcus approaches with his daily report, she listens carefully, nodding as he lays out the patrol routes and supply updates.

“Good work,” she says when he finishes, her tone softer than he’s used to.

He blinks in surprise. “Thank you, ma’am.”

Later, she helps a group of settlers patch up a hole in the wall near the fields. She rolls up her sleeves and works alongside them, her hands blistering as she hammers planks into place.

One of the settlers, an older man with a lined face, glances at her nervously. “Didn’t expect to see you out here, ma’am.”

“Figured it was time I got my hands dirty,” she replies, forcing a small smile.

That night, back in her quarters, Nora stares at the mirror again.

Her reflection hasn’t changed. The scars are still there, the hard lines of her face etched deeper than ever. But for the first time in months, she sees something else.

Determination.

She doesn’t know if she can undo the damage she’s done. She doesn’t know if the settlers will ever see her as anything more than their commander.

But she has to try.

For the first time, she lets herself cry. Not from despair, but from the faintest flicker of hope.

Tomorrow, she’ll be better.

A/N: I really liked this request, so I hope that I did it justice. I couldn't bring myself to write a sad ending though, so I decided on something a little more uplifting!

Hi could I get fallout 4 companions with a sole survivor that's really good at cooking/baking? Even though there's a lack of resources they're always able to make a tasty meal :)

FO4 Companions reacting to the Sole Survivor's cooking/baking skills:

Cait

Cait is initially skeptical, but she’s absolutely delighted when she tastes the Sole Survivor’s cooking.

She’ll tease you for being “too fancy” but can’t resist taking an extra serving of whatever’s on offer. Even with limited ingredients, she can sense the effort and love put into the dish.

Cait will often ask for something hearty, like a meat stew, and once she’s had a taste, she’ll go on about how it "hits the spot" after a long day of fighting.

Codsworth

Codsworth is always delighted when the Sole Survivor whips up something to eat, and he’ll politely offer his assistance, even if he’s not sure how to cook.

Whilst he can’t taste the food himself, he’ll always compliment the cooking, saying things like “It smells absolutely divine!” and offering praises for every dish.

Every meal becomes an opportunity for him to “fluff and polish,” ensuring the setting matches the quality of the food.

Curie

Curie is fascinated by cooking, always eager to learn new techniques, even if she sometimes gets things mixed up due to her scientific curiosity.

She loves the idea of making food “delicate” and “scientifically perfect,” so she’ll happily offer advice while watching you bake or cook.

Curie’s delighted with any dish, but if you make something with vegetables or fruits, she’ll be thrilled, claiming it’s “just like the old world” and perfect for a healthy life.

Paladin Danse

Paladin Danse is a bit of a meat-and-potatoes kind of guy, but he quickly learns to appreciate the Sole Survivor’s culinary prowess.

He’s always impressed that the Survivor can make something delicious out of practically nothing, but he’s especially fond of simple, hearty meals like roasted meat or stews.

Danse feels a little awkward about accepting the food at first, but once he digs in, he’s hooked. He’ll show his gratitude with a firm handshake and a grunt of approval.

Deacon

Deacon is totally into the fact that the Sole Survivor can create a good meal even when supplies are low. He’s all about resourcefulness and loves seeing the creative dishes that come out of seemingly nothing.

He’ll often make light-hearted jokes, suggesting you could sell your cooking as a new "underground recipe" in the Commonwealth.

Deacon’s definitely a fan of whatever is made with spices or anything that packs a punch—he loves the unexpected flavors.

Dogmeat

Dogmeat may not have a sophisticated palate, but the Sole Survivor’s cooking always makes him wag his tail and give an excited bark.

He particularly enjoys anything with meat in it, and even if it’s just a bit of leftover stew, he’ll happily share in the meal.

He’s a loyal taste tester and might nudge at your leg with a hopeful whine if he thinks there's any leftover scraps.

John Hancock

Hancock loves a hearty meal, and the Sole Survivor’s cooking quickly becomes one of his favorite parts of the day.

He’ll joke that “you’re the real hero of the Commonwealth” every time you serve him something tasty.

Sweet treats like pies and cookies have him absolutely hooked—he’s got a soft spot for anything that feels like a little piece of the past.

Robert MacCready

MacCready’s not exactly a food snob, but he’s very impressed when the Sole Survivor manages to create something edible out of the wasteland’s limited ingredients.

He’ll give a sarcastic comment at first, but after one bite, he’s all about the meal. He’s particularly fond of anything that’s spicy or has some heat to it.

He’ll often try to get you to make something “big and filling” since he’s always thinking about his next meal.

Nick Valentine

Nick is a man of simple tastes, but he definitely appreciates a well-cooked meal. He’s especially impressed when the Sole Survivor can bake something using barely any ingredients.

He’ll quietly savor each bite, complimenting you on your skill with a quiet, “You’ve got a real knack for this, kid.”

Nick loves anything with a bit of sweetness, like a nice pie or dessert, especially if it reminds him of the days before the war.

Piper Wright

Piper is overjoyed by the Sole Survivor’s cooking skills, and she’ll write about it in her journal, claiming that it’s “the best thing since sliced bread”—even if there’s no bread to be found.

She’s big on comfort food, so anything that’s hearty or filling is her go-to. She’ll always ask for seconds and enthusiastically praise your cooking.

She also loves to bake with you and will insist on trying her hand at recipes, even if they don’t always turn out quite as well as yours.

Preston Garvey

Preston is always grateful for a warm meal, especially when resources are tight. He’s definitely a fan of stews or dishes that have a good balance of protein and vegetables.

He’ll often tell you that “this kind of meal is just what we need to keep going.”

Preston might even offer to help cook, especially if it involves something he knows, like preparing simple meat dishes.

Strong

Strong, while mostly focused on his search for “milk of human kindness,” is deeply impressed when the Sole Survivor manages to cook up something that smells even remotely appetizing.

He’s not picky—anything with meat or something that can be gnawed on gets a thumbs-up from him.

Strong might even try to take a larger share of the food than everyone else, but he’ll show his appreciation with a grunt or a satisfied “good food, human.”

X6-88

X6-88 is more focused on his duties as a Courser than on food, but he quietly respects the Sole Survivor’s ability to prepare meals, especially given the wasteland's limited resources.

He’s practical, so he’ll appreciate whatever you make, but don’t expect any outward praise. He’ll simply state that the meal is “efficient.”

He prefers meals that are straightforward and no-nonsense—like grilled meat or something simple but nutritious.

Ada

Ada is fascinated by the idea of cooking in the wasteland, especially since she’s a robot and can’t taste anything herself. But she’s all about making sure the meal is “perfect” and will offer helpful suggestions.

She enjoys watching you cook, often pointing out how the ingredients could be optimised for better results. But when you bake something sweet, she’ll describe it as “incredibly efficient nourishment.”

Ada is especially impressed with any food that’s meticulously prepared or has a technological flair to it.

Automatron

Like Ada, Automatron lacks the ability to enjoy food, but they still value the efficiency and resourcefulness behind the Sole Survivor’s cooking.

They’re always keen to learn about the process and might even suggest improvements based on their mechanical knowledge.

Automatron might take notes as you prepare meals and will offer praise for any dish that has a perfect balance of ingredients.

Old Longfellow

Old Longfellow is a man who’s seen it all, and he’s particularly fond of a hearty, no-frills meal after a long day. He’ll often ask for simple dishes like fish, stews, or roasted meat.

He’ll quietly sit and enjoy the meal, nodding in approval after each bite, but he doesn’t always have much to say about it.

If you make something with seafood or something that reminds him of home, he’ll reminisce about the “good old days” in Far Harbor.

Porter Gage

Gage loves anything that’s simple and easy to prepare, but he’ll be downright impressed when the Sole Survivor manages to make something “top-tier” out of almost nothing.

He’s got a taste for bold flavors, so anything with a spicy kick or unique ingredient will catch his attention.

Gage might joke about you opening a restaurant in Nuka-World, but he’s genuine when he says you’ve got skills that most people in the wasteland can only dream of.

Silk and Shadows

Chapter 1: Vesuvius Beckons

-velvet velour x fem!toreador!pc

-seduction, power dynamics, manipulation, emotional baggage

After the chaos of Prince LaCroix's fall and her hard-won independence, Juliette, a Toreador fledgling, seeks solace in the shadows of Los Angeles. When she receives a cryptic message from Velvet Velour, the alluring and enigmatic owner of Vesuvius, Juliette is drawn back to the club where power and seduction intertwine. As they reconnect, Juliette finds herself ensnared in a dangerous game of desire, manipulation, and unspoken truths. In a world where freedom tastes like ashes and every connection carries a price, Juliette must decide whether VV is her sanctuary, her trap, or something far more perilous.

The nights in Los Angeles always seem heavier after you’ve walked away from the wars of Princes and pretenders. Juliette has chosen independence. She’s torn her destiny from the hands of Lacroix and Ming Xiao, leaving them in ashes—literal in one case, figurative in another. The city is a labyrinth of shadows and whispers now, more dangerous than ever without the protective mantle of a sect. But Juliette thrives in this danger; she has made her choice.

And yet, tonight, something gnaws at her. The flickering screen of her laptop illuminates her small haven. It’s another message, short and almost teasingly formal, from Velvet Velour. VV. The memory of her name feels like silk sliding over glass. The email simply reads:

Dearest Juliette,

It’s been too long since we last spoke. There’s something about this night that reminds me of you. Perhaps it’s the moonlight, or perhaps it’s the lingering shadows you left behind. If you find yourself longing for company, you know where to find me.

Yours, VV.

Juliette’s fingers hover over the keyboard. She’s always prided herself on her independence, her ability to sever ties when they grow too tangled. But VV—Velvet Velour, with her intoxicating presence, her enigmatic smile—has a way of pulling at the threads of her resolve. The memory of their encounters is a swirl of desire, manipulation, and something Juliette can’t quite name. VV is dangerous, perhaps more dangerous than Lacroix ever was. She’s not sure if that danger is to her body or her soul.

But the pull is undeniable.

Juliette finds herself walking the familiar streets toward Vesuvius. The nightclub looms like a cathedral of decadence, its neon lights casting sinuous shadows on the pavement. The bouncer at the door gives her a nod; her face is still known here. Inside, the music pulses like a heartbeat, wrapping around her as she descends the staircase into the club’s warm, velvet embrace. It’s a stark contrast to the cold sterility of the Camarilla’s halls and the grime of the places Juliette has found herself in these past few nights.

Velvet is on the stage, as she always is, commanding the room with her presence. Her movements are fluid, hypnotic, as if she’s the puppet master of every gaze fixed upon her. But when her eyes meet Juliette’s, the world seems to slow. VV’s smile is like a blade hidden in silk.

Juliette approaches the bar, ordering a drink she doesn’t intend to touch. She’s not here for the ambiance, as enticing as it is. Velvet’s performance concludes, and the room’s attention scatters, but Juliette’s focus sharpens as Velvet descends the stage and walks toward her. The sound of her heels clicking against the floor seems to echo in Juliette’s ears.

“Juliette,” she purrs, her voice as smooth as her name. “I wasn’t sure you’d come.”

“Neither was I,” Juliette admits, her voice steady but soft. “Your message was… compelling.”

“Good. Compelling is exactly what I strive for.” Velvet’s eyes glitter with something unreadable. She gestures toward a private booth, and Juliette follows, feeling the weight of the room’s eyes on her back. Velvet’s magnetism makes her both desired and feared, and Juliette is not immune.

The booth is draped in shadows, the noise of the club muffled here. Velvet leans back against the plush cushions, her posture relaxed but her gaze sharp. Juliette feels the silence stretch, and it’s Velvet who finally breaks it.

“You’ve been busy,” she says, her tone almost teasing. “Burning bridges, toppling kings. I can’t decide if I should be impressed or worried.”

“You don’t seem the type to worry,” Juliette counters, though the hint of a smile betrays her.

Velvet’s laughter is soft, like the rustle of silk. “Oh, I worry about the things that matter to me, darling. And you’ve always been… intriguing.” She leans forward, her eyes locking onto Juliette’s. “Tell me, how does freedom taste?”

Juliette hesitates. “Like ashes. But it’s better than the alternative.”

Velvet’s gaze lingers, and for a moment, Juliette feels as though the other woman can see through her, into the parts of her she’s tried to keep hidden. “Freedom is a heavy crown to wear,” Velvet says finally. “But I think it suits you.”

“And what about you?” Juliette asks, leaning forward slightly. “You’ve made a throne here, haven’t you? All these people worshipping you, hanging on your every word. Is this freedom?”

Velvet’s smile falters, just for a second, but it’s enough to crack the veneer. “We all play our roles, Juliette,” she says softly. “But don’t mistake the stage for the world. There’s more to me than what you see here.”

The conversation shifts, the words becoming a dance as intricate as any performance Velvet has ever given. They speak of power and loneliness, of choices made and paths untaken. Juliette feels herself being drawn in deeper, the lines between truth and manipulation blurring with every passing moment.

At one point, Velvet reaches across the table, her fingers brushing against Juliette’s. The touch is electric, and Juliette knows she should pull away, but she doesn’t. Velvet’s gaze is steady, her voice a whisper.

“You’re stronger than you know, Juliette. But even the strongest need someone to lean on.”

“And what are you offering?” Juliette asks, her voice barely audible.

Velvet’s smile returns, enigmatic and dangerous. “Whatever you’re willing to take.”

Juliette knows she should leave, should walk away and never look back. But she also knows that she won’t. Velvet’s pull is too strong, her presence too intoxicating. And so, as the night deepens and the shadows grow longer, Juliette stays, knowing full well that she may be stepping into another trap.

Or perhaps, this time, it’s one she’s willing to embrace.

Ghostface!Tamara Carpenter x Oblivious Reader (reader is completely unaware of what Tamara is up to and whenever it feels like Reader is about to discover something, Tam manages to distract em with something else)

Unseen Shadows (Ghostface!Tara Carpenter x Oblivious!Reader):

You are blissfully unaware of the danger lurking around you, completely oblivious to the twisted game that Tara Carpenter has been playing for weeks. Every time you get close to uncovering something—every time your suspicion begins to creep in—she’s always there, pulling you away with a smile or a gesture so natural, so charming, that you find yourself distracted again. Little do you know, Tara’s not just the sweet, slightly sarcastic girl you’ve grown to trust. She’s hiding something much darker beneath the surface.

It’s a late Friday afternoon, and you’re walking through the familiar hallways of Tara's apartment building. Your phone buzzes in your pocket, and you pull it out, glancing at the message from Tara.

Hey, come over? I could use a distraction.

You smile, typing back quickly.

I’m on my way ♥

Tara always seems to have an effect on you—she makes everything feel lighter, brighter, as if her presence alone could make any bad day fade away.

As you arrive at her door, you knock three times, and she opens it almost instantly, flashing you one of her signature grins. She’s wearing a hoodie and sweatpants, looking like she just rolled out of bed, but there’s something about her that makes your heart skip a beat.

“Hey,” she greets, leaning against the doorframe. “You’re a lifesaver. I swear, I’ve been dying from boredom all day.”

You chuckle, stepping inside. “It’s only been, like, what—two hours since we last talked?”

She shrugs, locking the door behind you. “Exactly. Too long. I need a little… you time.” Tara steps aside to let you in, but something about the way she’s acting feels a little… off. You don’t question it, though. It’s Tara—she’s always been like this: intense in a way you never quite understood.

You sit on the couch, and she joins you, her legs tucked underneath her as she stares at you with a soft smile.

“So, what’s up?” you ask, pulling your knees up to your chest. “You seem a little… different today. What’s going on?”

Tara raises an eyebrow, a playful glint in her eyes. “Different? Me? I’m the same as always. You’re just imagining things.”

You shake your head, feeling a slight unease. “No, seriously. You’re acting like you’re keeping something from me. I can tell when you’re hiding something, you know.”

Tara’s grin widens at your words. It’s almost too wide, but you don’t pick up on the warning signs. “What, you think I’m some kind of mystery? Maybe I just wanted some company.”

You narrow your eyes, but before you can respond, the doorbell rings, interrupting the tension building between you two.

“That’ll be pizza,” Tara says quickly, standing up. “I’ll grab it. Stay here.”

You’re about to ask what kind of pizza she ordered, but she’s already gone, her footsteps retreating down the hallway to answer the door.

You lean back, trying to shake off the odd feeling that’s been creeping up your spine. But when Tara returns, pizza box in hand, she’s back to her usual self—bubbly and carefree. She hands you a slice with a wink.

“See? You were just imagining things. Everything’s fine. Pizza, good company, a little bit of fun. What more could you want?”

You smile back, grateful for her ability to smooth over any awkwardness. She’s right. Maybe you are overthinking it. Tara’s always been good at making things feel light.

A few days later, you find yourself hanging out with Tara again, and something about her behavior is more odd than before. She’s been keeping her distance, her eyes darting around whenever you ask her a personal question. You don’t think much of it—after all, she’s always been a bit elusive—but you can’t shake the feeling that there’s something she’s not telling you.

You sit on the couch, flipping through a magazine, when you hear the faintest sound from the hallway. It’s a whisper, but it’s too muffled for you to understand. You glance toward the door, wondering if Tara is talking to someone.

You call out, “Tara? Who’s here?”

The door to her room creaks open, and Tara steps in, a little too quickly. “Oh, it’s just me,” she says, her smile forced. “I was—uh—just on a call with some friends. Nothing important.”

You nod, but the nagging feeling in the back of your mind doesn’t go away. You feel like something is wrong, but every time you try to dig deeper, Tara distracts you with something else.

She sits down next to you, and for a second, you feel like everything’s okay again. Tara always knows how to make you feel comfortable, how to erase the doubts that plague you.

Then, without warning, her phone buzzes. She picks it up, glances at the screen, and her face momentarily stiffens before she laughs, quickly shoving the phone back into her pocket.

“Who was that?” you ask, raising an eyebrow.

Tara lets out a soft laugh, brushing off the question. “Just some random number. No biggie.” She quickly changes the subject. “So, have you seen that new show everyone’s talking about? It’s so good.”

You don’t press the matter, distracted by her sudden shift. She’s so good at this—at turning the conversation just when it feels like you’re about to catch on.

A week passes, and your unease grows. You begin to notice small things that don’t add up—Tara disappearing for longer periods, her odd phone habits, the way she always seems to be looking over her shoulder when you’re together. There’s a tension between you two now that wasn’t there before, but you can’t bring yourself to ask her about it directly.

One night, you’re sitting in a dimly lit café, just the two of you, and Tara seems unusually quiet. The air is thick with unspoken words, and you can feel it. This time, you won’t let her distract you.

“Tara,” you say slowly, staring at her. “What’s going on? You’re acting weird again. What aren’t you telling me?”

Tara’s eyes flicker, but only for a moment. She smiles, but it doesn’t reach her eyes. “Nothing’s going on, I promise. You’re overthinking it. You know I’m always like this. What did I tell you? Mystery girl, remember?”

But you’re not buying it. You can see it in her eyes now—the barely concealed tension, the way her fingers tap nervously against the table.

Before you can say anything else, a man in a hoodie walks by the table, and Tara freezes for a fraction of a second, a jolt running through her.

You’re about to ask her what’s wrong when she suddenly grabs your hand, her grip tight. “Come on,” she says quickly, her voice sharp. “Let’s get out of here. I don’t like this place anymore.”

You nod, but the knot in your stomach tightens. You can feel something is wrong—something is off about Tara. But she’s already pulling you out of the café, distracting you once again with her charm and her warmth, as if everything is fine.

The following days blur together. Every time you get close to uncovering the truth about Tara, she distracts you. A new movie, a spontaneous trip, a surprise gift—all designed to keep you from asking questions. You’re too entranced by her, too lost in the warmth of her smile, to realize just how deeply she’s pulling you into her web.

And Tara, with her Ghostface mask hidden beneath her bed, smiles to herself, knowing that the truth will remain buried—at least for now. She’s in control, and you’re none the wiser.

Heather Mason x Reader x Memory Of Alessa plz

Heather Mason x Reader x Memory of Alessa:

The fog is dense, pressing against your skin like a living thing. Silent Hill feels like it’s holding its breath, watching you from every corner. You tighten your grip on your flashlight, the beam barely piercing the oppressive gloom.

Beside you, Heather Mason moves with the practiced wariness of someone who’s seen too much. Her blonde hair glints faintly under the dim light, and the sharp focus in her eyes makes your heart ache—there’s strength there, yes, but also weariness.

“You holding up okay?” Heather asks, her voice softer than you expect. She glances at you, and for a moment, her sharp edges soften.

You nod, but the knot in your stomach remains. “As much as I can be, I guess. Thanks for sticking with me.”

Heather smiles faintly, a flicker of warmth cutting through the chill air. “Yeah, well, don’t get used to it. I’m only doing this because I can’t leave you out here alone.”

Her words are teasing, but there’s something deeper beneath them, a tenderness she tries to hide. You’re about to respond when a figure steps into the narrow beam of your flashlight, and the words die in your throat.

It’s her.

The woman is almost identical to Heather, but something about her feels… wrong. Her movements are unnervingly smooth, her dark eyes piercing. Memory of Alessa stops a few feet away, her gaze sweeping over you both with unsettling familiarity.

“Back again,” Heather mutters, stepping slightly in front of you. Her voice hardens as she raises her steel pipe. “What do you want this time?”

Alessa doesn’t answer immediately. Her gaze lingers on you, her lips curving into a faint, almost playful smile. “You brought someone with you,” she says, her voice low and melodic. “Interesting.”

You feel a chill run down your spine, but there’s something else there, too—something magnetic about the way she looks at you, like she sees straight into your soul.

“Stay back,” Heather warns, her tone sharp. She shifts, her body shielding yours. “You’ve got no business with them.”

Alessa tilts her head, her dark hair falling over one shoulder. “Don’t I?” she murmurs. Her gaze flickers between you and Heather, her expression unreadable. “You don’t understand, do you? We’re all connected, whether you like it or not.”

Heather bristles. “Cut the cryptic crap and get to the point.”

But you find yourself stepping forward, surprising both of them. “What do you mean, connected?” you ask, your voice trembling but steady enough to hold Alessa’s attention.

Her smile deepens, though it’s tinged with something almost... wistful. “You feel it, don’t you?” she says softly, her eyes locking with yours. “That pull. That spark. It’s not just this town binding us together—it’s something more.”

Heather glares at her. “You’re messing with their head.”

“I’m not,” Alessa replies, her voice calm. “You feel it too, Heather. You just won’t admit it.”

The air between the three of you feels electric, charged with an intensity that’s hard to define. You glance at Heather, whose lips part as if to argue, but she hesitates. Her eyes dart to you, and for a brief moment, her guarded expression falters.

“I don’t know what you’re trying to do,” Heather says finally, her voice quieter now, almost vulnerable. “But I’m not letting you hurt them.”

Alessa chuckles softly, a sound that sends shivers through you. “Hurt them? Oh, Heather… that’s not what I want at all.”

She steps closer, her presence both unnerving and strangely comforting. Heather tenses, but you don’t move. Something in Alessa’s eyes pulls you in, and when she speaks again, her voice is barely above a whisper.

“We could have something beautiful,” she says, her gaze flickering between you and Heather. “The three of us. If you’d only stop fighting it.”

You swallow hard, your heart pounding in your chest. The air feels thick, heavy with unspoken emotions. Heather glances at you, her expression conflicted, and you see a flicker of doubt in her eyes.

“I…” Heather starts, then trails off, looking away.

You step closer to her, your hand brushing against hers. The small touch seems to ground her, and she looks back at you, her eyes searching yours.

“Heather,” you say softly. “Maybe she’s not lying. Maybe… maybe there’s something here worth understanding.”

Heather’s lips press into a thin line, but she doesn’t pull away. Instead, she glances at Alessa, her expression a mix of defiance and something else—something softer.

“You’re really serious about this?” Heather asks, her voice barely audible.

Alessa smiles again, but this time it’s warmer, more human. “I am. This town has taken so much from us already. Don’t you think we deserve to take something back?”

The three of you stand there, the silence stretching out, heavy with possibility. Slowly, Heather lowers her weapon, though her grip remains firm.

“This doesn’t mean I trust you,” she says, her voice wavering slightly.

Alessa steps closer, her gaze never leaving Heather’s. “I’m not asking for your trust,” she says softly. “Just… let me in. Let me show you both what could be.”

You feel Heather’s hand brush against yours again, more deliberate this time. She doesn’t look at you, but the small gesture speaks volumes.

“I guess… we could try,” you say, your voice trembling but resolute.

Alessa’s smile deepens, and for the first time, you see something other than darkness in her eyes. “That’s all I needed to hear,” she says, her voice filled with quiet triumph.

Holiday headcanons for the Silent Hill protags?

Silent Hill protags Holiday Headcanons:

Harry Mason

Harry is the type to spend hours agonising over the perfect gifts for his loved ones. He puts deep thought into what Cheryl (or anyone he cares about) would truly appreciate, often opting for heartfelt, practical items that also carry a hint of sentimentality.

He enjoys brisk winter walks, especially in the quiet, snow-covered woods, reflecting on life's mysteries while trying to keep his mind at peace.

Harry’s holiday evenings are incomplete without a steaming mug of hot cocoa, preferably shared with someone. He probably makes it with extra marshmallows, even if he’s drinking it alone.

He watches classic holiday movies (like It’s a Wonderful Life) and inevitably gets emotional, though he’d never admit it.

James Sunderland

James has a tendency to dwell on the past during the holidays. Old photo albums and bittersweet memories dominate his thoughts. He might even write letters to Mary, just to process his emotions.

While not enthusiastic about decorating, James will hang up a string of lights or a small wreath if encouraged. It’s a half-hearted effort, but it helps him feel a little less alone.

James finds solace in sitting by a fire or a cozy heater, listening to soft music. He might even nurse a glass of wine or eggnog to help him unwind.

James will drop money into donation buckets or give to toy drives if he stumbles across them. He doesn’t want to admit it, but he feels better afterward.

Heather Mason

Heather’s holiday spirit leans toward snarky. She loves ugly Christmas sweaters and cheeky ornaments, but she also secretly enjoys traditional activities like baking cookies or wrapping gifts.

Heather thrives on the chaos of shopping on Christmas Eve, navigating crowded malls with the precision of a battlefield general. She somehow always ends up with gifts that everyone loves.

Her sense of humour comes through in her holiday cards, which are a mix of crude doodles and heartfelt messages. It’s her way of saying she cares without being overly sappy.

Heather loves winter shenanigans, especially snowball fights. She’s quick, precise, and ruthless in her aim, making her a formidable opponent for anyone brave enough to challenge her.

Henry Townshend

Henry prefers to keep things simple, spending his holidays in solitude or with a small circle of trusted friends. A good book, some quiet music, and warm lighting are all he needs to feel content.

He has a habit of staring out his apartment window, watching snowflakes drift down and imagining the lives of the people he sees below.

Henry often spends the holidays painting or sketching scenes inspired by the season—snow-covered streets, twinkling lights, or cozy interiors. It’s therapeutic for him.

He’ll cook something special, even if it’s just for himself. Henry’s meals are simple but hearty, like a warm stew or a freshly baked pie. Cooking helps him feel grounded.

A/N: I'm so sorry that I took so long with these, I've had an extremely busy month. I know that the holiday season is coming to an end, but I wanted to get these published anyway!
