Congrats on the 1000 followers. You deserve it. I’d love an ending to failed fic 10 please? It was really really cute. I don’t know if you need any details like in the usual rules, but if I do need to do that I had a cute idea that Sabo finds a letter in his locker similar to the letters he wrote that’s signed “the person you admire” and he turns and sees her waving to him and he gets more courage and ends in a smooch. But feel free to ignore that idea entirely because you probably have an idea that is like 100 times better. Thank you 💙
Yay, my first event request! I hope you enjoy this, I used your idea but changed it up a little. As a note, I did actually make the poem in this myself. I spent probably half an hour or more just trying to rhyme a couple of words!
Word Count: 1600
     Sabo watched you from across the classroom, head resting in his hand. How long had he admired you from afar? Normally he wasn’t a shy person, taking action, making his move, and often getting what he wanted, but with you, it was different. He couldn’t ever seem to find the words, his plans fell apart, and if he didn’t trip over his own feet, he ended up tongue tied. It was infuriating as he attempted time and again to tell you how he felt, he could tell you how he felt in letters, he’d sent you dozens of ‘secret admirer’ letters. Sticking them in your books when you weren’t looking, placing them in your purse while your back was turned, or bribing the coffee shop you frequented to stick them to your drink. He’d considered signing his name a number of times instead of writing ‘from your secret admirer’, yet always felt his hand shaking. What was wrong with him? How were you doing this to him? How was it that you turned him into a bumbling, stuttering mess. 
     Sabo closed his eyes, standing up and starting to walk over to you. He had to do this, he needed to tell you how he felt. Taking a deep breath, he tapped you on your shoulder as you packed your things up, getting ready to head home.
    “Hm? Oh, hi! You’re Sabo, right?” you said, giving him a friendly smile.
    “I uh, y-yeah.” Sabo said, sticking his hands in his pockets in an attempt to hide the shaking.
    “So what can I do for you?” you asked, head tilting adorably to the side. Sabo could already feel his cheeks heating up, how did you manage to be so cute without even trying?
    “W-well we have a few classes together and I’ve seen you around campus, so I-I uh, I was thinking, well, I mean, I know we don’t really know each other, but uh, I was hoping that maybe, that is, if you’d like to, perhaps, I could uh, t-take you to get some coffee? O-or maybe study together, s-since we’re in a lot of the same classes, that is.” Sabo stuttered out, feeling the blush start to crawl across his entire face. You smiled and giggled, making Sabo’s heart skip a beat.
    “I’d love to. How about we do both! I know of a great cafe where we can study. They’ve got really great coffee. Here, let me give you their address.” you said, quickly pulling out a piece of paper and writing the address and name down before handing it to him, “Think you’ll be able to find it alright?” you asked, giving him another stunning smile. Sabo’s heart skipped a beat as he looked down at you.
     “Yeah, yeah I can find it. I think I might have been there once or twice.” he said with a ‘nonchalant’ shrug. Once or twice? Try at least once a week when you got coffee. They were the coffee shop you almost always visited, the ones he bribed to stick notes onto your cup. He never went there while you were there, but he knew the place.
     Taking a deep breath, Sabo checked his appearance in the mirror for probably the tenth time this morning. He was meeting you at 2 and he really wanted to look his best without looking like he was trying too hard. If he looked too nice, you’d probably wonder what was wrong with him and start backing off. Similarly, if he was unkempt, you wouldn’t want to be with someone who was that much of a slob and leave.
     “Dude, will you chill? You’re gonna be fine!” Ace called from his place on the couch, leaning his head back to look at his brother.
     “First of all, I am chill. Secondly, you don’t know that. And third, you don’t know this girl, she’s far too amazing, I have to look good.” he said, giving his brother a light glare before checking his clothes again, smoothing them out and checking for anything that might be on them despite the fact that they were basically pristine. Ace just rolled his eyes at his brother but didn’t say anything further. If Sabo wanted to panic about his date, then fine. 
     Putting on a calm air and a smile, he sat down with you at one of the tables, setting his coffee down as the two of you pulled out your books.
     “Thanks for buying my coffee. You really didn’t have to.” you said with a sweet smile, one that had his heart racing. 
     “Of course, a g-gentleman should always buy the lady a d-drink.” he said, doing his best to remain cool. He had to remain cool! He couldn’t let you see what a stuttering, blushing mess you made him! Looking at you, the blond began to panic, noticing your brow furrow like something was wrong.
     “Everything alright, Y/n?” he asked, still trying to come off as calm and collected.
     “Yeah, I’m just thinking, it’s not really easy to study like this. Hold on.” you said, quickly pulling your chair next to his and sitting back down, “Much better. We’ll have an easier time looking at each other’s notes and books this way.” you said with another smile. He was pretty sure you’d be able to hear his heart with how close you were. The young man could smell what kind of shampoo and conditioner you used at this distance. All he could do was nod as he started studying with you, taking a short break after about half an hour to splash some water on his face. He needed to calm down! Taking a few deep breaths, he managed to calm his pounding heart. He could do this, he was Sabo, brother to Ace and Luffy, best in his martial arts class, and top scores for pre college politics! It was one date! Drying his face off, he headed back out to your table, sitting next to you once more. 
     Walking back into the school building, Sabo sighed. The study date had gone really well, you’d both gotten a lot done and you seemed to be happy to have his company. That being said, when he’d written you another short love note, he still couldn’t bring himself to sign his name. He was hopeless! At least, he felt hopeless. Approaching his locker, his brow furrowed. The edge of a light blue card stuck out the top. Quickly opening his locker, he easily caught the small card. It was fairly simple, a cute, blank card he must have seen in a thousand stores. Looking at the card in confusion, he opened it, his eyes darting across the page. 
“Roses are Red, 
Violets are blue, 
I have an admirer, 
I know that it’s you. 
You didn’t think that I’d notice, 
you think that you’re clever, 
from the corner of my eye, 
I caught you, however. 
These feeling you have,
They’re really endearing,
Rejection from me,
You need to stop fearing.
Please meet me under your favorite tree.
Signed, the girl you admire.”
     He wasn’t sure if his heart had stopped or was just pounding too hard and too quickly to register. Was… was this what he thought it was? Slamming his locker door, he took off at a dead sprint, skidding around corners and nearly crashing into walls as he sped through the halls. Sure enough, standing under the tree he always ate lunch under, was you, looking as cute as ever and holding something in your hands that he couldn’t quite make out. Another deep breath and he was walking up to you, a little sweat dripping from his temple from running, his chest heaving as he gasped for air, and his hands shaking. 
     “I-Is this really from you?” Sabo asked once he reached you, watching a smile spread across your face.
     “I was starting to wonder if you’d actually gotten it.” you said, making him swallow hard as he glanced back down at the card.
     “Your um, your poetry is really good. I didn’t know you had so many skills.” he said, unsure of what else to say.
     “Oh, not really. That took me all night to figure out. I have a thousand crumpled papers in my trash.” you said, making him chuckle.
     “It’s still cute. You mentioned I should stop worrying about rejection. Does that mean… that you like me back?” he asked tentatively, looking back up at you. You nodded, your cheeks dusted pink as you unwrapped the item you were holding. Inside was a box of his favorite sweets, his eyes widening. The bakery was on the other side of town! You would have had to wake up an hour early to get there, wait in line, and get back here in time! Sabo gently took the box, lifting it out of the way before caressing your cheek and pulling you into a kiss. You weren’t sure who melted more, him or you, both of you a bright pink when he pulled away.
     “So, then… Can I… does this mean you’ll be my girlfriend?” Sabo asked. 
     “I wish I could say something poetic as a yes, but all my poetry went into that note, so how about just an ‘absolutely’.” you said with a small giggle, making the blond chuckle.     “I’m framing this, by the way. The first thing I ever received from the best girlfriend in the world.” he said before giving you another soft kiss. Normally he didn’t get such sweet gifts, his heart didn’t pound like it was, he didn’t get flustered but you were different.

Yammy's 1k Followers Celebration
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I finally hit 1k followers again on my new blog! I'm sorry that it has taken me so long to release my 1k followers celebration event, I've just been really unmotivated recently. Thank you all so, so much for getting me to 1k followers. I would not have got this far if it was not for all of you. So, since I have been a little unmotivated and have had writers block recently, there isn't going to be as much prompts for this one because I don't think I will be able to have a lot of prompts because of that.
I will have smut and fluff prompts for my 1k followers event and I will put the rules for this event down below.
Tumblr media
Event Start: Sunday, March 21st 2023
Event End: Sunday, March 26th 2023
Tumblr media
Rules
I ask that everyone please follows these rules if you are going to participate in my 1k followers event.
You can only select from the characters that are listed on this post. I a character or fandom is not posted then I'm most likely not writing for them for this event but, you can still ask if you're curious.
Please only do one prompt per request because, since I have writers block I find it much harder to write for multiple prompts in one fic but, eventually I'll be back to doing more than one prompt in a fic.
Also some people do this anonamysly but, please don't spam me multiple requests whether its anon or not. It's very overwhelming and a little annoying. You can of course request more than one but, please no spam.
If I write a fic too short, please don't come at me for it. It just depends on how much of an idea I have for the fic for how long it's going to be and when fic requests aren't that detailed it makes it a little harder for me to write a long one so, I just don't know what lengths each fic is going to be until after I write it.
Please just follow these rules 💗💗

Hello! For your 1000 follower event, may I please request headcanons on Beta! S/O and Beta! Ace, Law, and Drake with prompt #2 "You'll make a wonderful parent"?
Heyya! Sure thing 🍀 Sorry for taking so long to get around to and hope you enjoy~
(Gender Neutral)
1000 Follower Event!
Headcanons: Beta! Ace, Law, X-Drake x Beta! S/O - #2. “You'll make a wonderful parent”
Tumblr media
Portgas D. Ace
🔥 {Name} and Ace were spending some time together, when they spotted a small child crying. They excused themselves from Ace and told him they’d be back. Ace was a little confused at why {Name} had just suddenly taken off and watched as they went over to a child who looked a little hapless. {Name} so naturally knelt down and spoke with a smile that put the little boy at ease. Ace walked over to see what exactly was happening, finally discovering that the child had been separated from his parents. Over the duration of looking for his parents, he clung onto {Name's} hand and only seemed to listen to them. Until he finally was able to reunite with his parents.
🔥Ace chuckled to himself when waving goodbye and turned his attention to {Name}. “You’ll make a wonderful parent.” Ace stated, seeing {Name's} reaction to be quite flustered almost as if to ask where that came from.
🔥“Just seeing you with that little boy and the way you just put him to ease and how happy you seemed. Made me think if you ever have a child of your own you’d make a really good parent” Ace explained, thinking to how the little boy refused to hold his hand because he only wanted {Name} and how natural it seemed to see {Name} with a child.
🔥 {Name} gave the words Ace said quite a bit of thought. “I think it’s the same for you… I also think that you would make a great parent…” {Name} did not say those words lightly. They knew Ace had an insecurity towards the idea of him being a parent.
🔥Ace was now the surprised one of the two. He chuckled and dismissed the notion, “I’m being serious Ace… maybe you don’t see it but I really think you’d be a great dad.” {Name} stated their point and began listing off a list of reasons they believed Ace would be a good parent.
🔥 “I’m sure it would be just fine if it’s our kid…” Ace blurted out without realizing his words until after they had already been said. {Name} and Ace fell silent, both feeling flustered at where the conversation had turned. It wasn’t as if they hadn’t considered it but saying it aloud was something else entirely.
Tumblr media
Trafalgar Law
🍄 Law always felt a little out sorts when around kids. It may have been due to the grumpy look he carried on his face or his height that intimidated small children but after the almost perfect record of kids crying when they see him, he became awkward around them. However this was not the case for {Name}, kids naturally took a liking to them. Most of the time if they ran away from Law they would run straight to {Name}.
🍄 Another child cried and ran away upon seeing Law, accidentally tripping when {Name} helped the child to her feet and made sure she wasn’t injured. The child recovered from the fall quickly and skipped along with a smile. Law still had that same amazement as with every previous occurrence when he had seen it. “You know, you’d make a good parent {Name-ya}”
🍄 “How'd you reckon that?” {Name} inquired, looking at Law who visibly toiled over his thoughts. “Seeing that every child we come across always seems to love you, even though you’re a complete stranger.” Law murmured not sure if he articulated his reason properly. “Hm maybe because out of the whole crew I don’t look as intimidating as the rest of you?” {Name} stated. “You also become very parental whenever there’s a kid around" Law elaborated
🍄 Law wasn’t wrong, they really did always take a bit of a parental and protective role to any kids they encountered. {Name} thought back, they weren’t alone in this. In his own way Law would try to help those kids without letting them know. {Name} smiled at the thought and repeated his words back to him.
🍄 Law stuttered when he heard them say that. “I don’t see how you came to that conclusion" Law cleared his throat but {Name} raised an eyebrow “You act as if you have no idea what I’m talking about. But you forget I’ve been with you whenever you stealthily return some kids lost toy, or protect them from a danger they aren’t even aware of."
🍄 Law didn’t think they were aware “I still don’t think that means I’ll be a good parent-" Law grumbled, {Name} laughed “I think a child that takes after you would be absolutely adorable”, Law turned away to conceal his face “I think our child would probably take after you more" Law stated, his words were honest and unexpected and implied the fact that it was something he had considered.
Tumblr media
X-Drake
🦖 Drake often thought about children, sometimes in an idealistic way, sometimes in a “never going to happen" kind of way. Whenever he saw his mate interacting with any child sometimes the thoughts of having a child with them would arise. He would never say anything to them but it was one of those “What if" thoughts. Drake had seen a child crying and how {Name} comforted them without hesitation, and how the child seemed to settle and calm with {Name's} presence.
🦖When {Name} returned Drake was a little lost in thought at everything he had seen. It seemed like the most natural thing to see {Name} with a child. “What are you thinking about?” {Name} asked, noticing Drake lost in thought. “Just thinking….You would made a good parent. You are pretty good with kids”
🦖 {Name} smiled a little with hearing him say that, it was something nice and Drake seemed to have another meaning under the surface of the initial thought he shared. {Name} wanted to prod a little further to see what else Drake was hiding, “Is that the only reason?” {Name} asked, Drake fumbled over his words and simply repeated what he said previously but his reaction was rather curious.
🦖“I think you’d be a really nice dad” {Name} stated, the train of thought had led them to that conclusion. Drake seemed giddy to hear that but also his shy reaction seemed to give away the thoughts he didn’t tell {Name}. They knew Drake all too well, and thought it was cute that he was thinking of something like that, even if he wouldn’t tell them.
🦖 “Did you see me with the kids and think it would be nice to have one of our own?” they hit the exact answer, Drake chuckled nervously and couldn’t help but be honest and agree with them. Drake had no choice now that it was ousted.
🦖 “I’m glad to see I wasn’t the only one.” They muttered in a sigh of relief, Drake instantly understood what {Name} had meant with what they said.

*ೃ༄ 1,000 Followers Event *ೃ༄
Hullo! We finally reached 1,000 followers and it feels unreal. When I started this blog, posting my first dribbles, I never expected it would have gained such traction. Yet, 3 years later we are here - I write for different fandoms now, I grew up so much since that afternoon in the middle of pandemic that made this blog come to life.
This, is, of course, all thanks to you - you who read my rambles, engage with my content, put requests forward and stick with me even during my long hiatuses. Ironically, for someone who likes to define herself as a writer, I can't seem to find the right words to thank all of you. I know I am not the most active blog, but you've stayed by my side for all these years - and even we don't talk a lot, I feel loved and appreciated. And I hope, dear readers, you feel loved just as much.
What better way to celebrate if not with a writing event?
Let's quickly look at the rules before we dive into the prompts!
❀ Pick 1 prompt & and 2 characters so that I can choose who to write for! This is to avoid getting stuck with no inspiration. (these can either be from the taking care of a lover’s injury list or the drunk prompts list - or both! you can mix and match, your choice.) ❀ Every prompt will only be used once, but characters can be reused as many times as you want! ❀Please read my rules before requesting anything. Click here for the masterlist for a previous event if you want to have a rough idea. ❀If you’re thinking about a character that I never mentioned before just feel free to ask whether or not I feel comfortable with writing about them.
Finally, here's the prompts:
⋆·˚ ༘ * drunk prompts ⋆·˚ ༘ * - all credits to the wonderful @@scealaiscoite! you can find the full list here.
“oh god, how much did you drink?!”
“y’know wha- i’ve alway thought you were th’prettiest person around.” -> with Zoro
“there’s water and painkillers on the cabinet. you know, for the hangover.”
“i don’t know if it’s just the vodka, but you look so cute in this lighting.”
“you’re the best. d’you know that?”
“okay, i think that’s enough for tonight.” -> with Ace.
“did i… did we kiss last night?" -> with Kidd.
“stay with me, please.”
“come on, let’s get you to bed.”
⋆·˚ ༘ *taking care of a lover’s injury ⋆·˚ ༘ * - all credits to the wonderful @@scealaiscoite! you can find the full list here.
“stop squirming.” -> with Ace.
“i hate how you put yourself in situations like these.”
“i can see it hurts, so show me.”
“it’s okay, just come here.”
“don’t be such a baby, it’s just rubbing alcohol.”
“you’re clearly in pain! please, just me help you.”
“c’mere, let me see.”
“you need stitches and bedrest, not booze and more fights.” -> with Zoro
✼  ҉  ✼  ҉  ✼ have fun with these!
Disclaimer - I am still working on previous requests; these will be published alongside the event works. Please be patient with me as creativity is much like a rollercoaster and it might be hard to get to write for something so specific. I can already anticipate that an Ace request will be published in the next few days.

You said it yourself for the request trope: "forbidden love of best man and bride" 😉 Of course, with who else other than LEON S. KENNEDY!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Forever Hold Your Peace
Tumblr media
Female reader x Chris Redfield, x Leon Kennedy, angst Leon feels like he can’t breathe. There’s a phantom pressure around his throat, like any breath he takes in is barely skimming the top of his lungs.
It’s not the tie – he’s checked, loosening it several times before doing it back up again. He hardly wears a tie, it had never been his style, really. That, and too obvious to be used as a weapon against him in hand-to-hand combat.
Not that he’s expecting to get into a brawl today.
A heavy hand slaps down on his back, jolting him out of his train of thought. “You look more anxious than me.”
“Nah,” he turns and steps back, creating a bit of distance between him and Chris.  “You’re just projecting.”
“Maybe.” Chris approaches the mirror in two long strides and sighs. “You know what? I’d kill for a cigarette.” “Want me to go grab a packet?”
“Nah,” he shakes his head, straightening his tie in the mirror. “I quit. Promised I’d be shot of it by the honeymoon. You could do me another favour, though.”
Leon lifts his arms wide, gesturing to his appearance. “Being your best man not count as enough favours for a lifetime?”
“Technically this falls into the responsibilities of a best man.” Chris squats down and Leon braces himself to hear the fabric rip - they’d spent an afternoon being fitted at a tailor, Redfield’s thighs and forearms were never gonna be accommodated off the rack – but it holds true. He stands upright, a silver giftbag held out in offering. “Could you take this to my bride-to-be?”
“Oh.” There’s the phantom squeeze again. “Don’t you… want to?”
“I can’t. It’s bad luck to see each other before the ceremony,” Chris shrugs, holding the gift bag out again in expectation, but Leon still doesn’t try to take it.  
“And you believe in that?” He scoffs as he puts his hands in his pockets.
“No… but I’m not jinxing anything today. It won’t take long – the bridal suite’s the floor above. Please?”
Leon sighs and accepts the gift bag at last.
--
You take a tentative sip of champagne to calm your nerves. It was the first moment all morning you’d been on your own – the room being a hub of activity since your alarm had gone off. The wedding planner had hit a snag with something or other and Claire had hurriedly offered to go and sort it in your steed.
This is it - in over an hour’s time you’d be Mrs Redfield. You hadn’t thought the day would ever come, but now, as you sat in your wedding dress that made you feel like a princess, sat at the dressing table in the bridal suite, you allow yourself to get a little bit excited. It had been a long engagement and you’d been fine with that, truly. What did a piece of paper saying you were husband and wife matter anyway? But Chris had returned from Romania, stoic and silent for a few days before mumbling in bed late one night that he wanted to start looking at venues. Soon after, a date was booked, a wedding planner hired, invitation cards sent out, food and wine tasting, a visit to a bakery when you’d smeared frosting on each other’s faces as you taste-tested what would be your wedding cake and, finally, bought your wedding dress – none of it had felt real. There was bound to be something that came up, a mission that would take him to foreign soil and mean the wedding had to be delayed.
There’s a hesitant knock at the door and you swivel on the stool, curious who it could be.
“Come in!”
The door opens, slowly, and a suited Leon S Kennedy walks in.
“Leon.” You hitch your skirt up to get to your feet, inexplicably feeling silly in the dress that had made you feel like a princess moments before. “Hi.”
“Wow. You look…” He trails off, breath caught in his throat at the sight before him.
“Terrible?” You tease, wanting to break the awkward silence.
“No.” He replies quickly, leaning back up against the door to close it. “You look beautiful.”
“Oh,” your cheeks prickle with heat at his compliment. “Thank you. You look great too.”
“Yeah, reckon I scrubbed up all right.” Leon chuckles with a shrug, before remembering the gift bag in his hand. “Er, here.” He straightens up and walks forward to meet you halfway across the room, holding it out.
“You shouldn’t have.” You accept it, your fingers brushing over his and goosebumps running up your arm at the contact. “Thank you.”  
“I didn’t.” He answers, abruptly, pulling his hand back and slipping it in his pocket. “I mean, I… There’s a card downstairs in the box. This is from Chris – he asked me to drop it off.”
“He did?” You can’t help the giddy smile that crosses your lips and Leon casts his eyes down to the ground – it’s not for him. You place the gift bag down on the table and pull out a small jewelry box from within, a notecard on top.
We made it, sweetheart. All my love, Chris x
You open the box carefully – scared of scratching off your nail polish – and find a simple silver heart-shaped pendent on a silver chain.
“What is it?”
“A necklace,” you hold it aloft in demonstration. “I didn’t get him anything, I didn’t even think to. Isn’t that awful?”
“You turning up at the altar will be gift enough for him, I’m sure.” Leon jokes, but he knows it lands flat from your polite laugh as you place the necklace carefully back in the box. “Aren’t you going to put it on?”
“Oh, erm, I don’t think I can, what with the veil and the hair, I’m scared I’ll detach something. Claire will be back soon anyway.”
Leon steps forward. “I can help?”
“Honestly, I’m sure she won’t be long.”
“I want to. Call it part of the delivery service.” His hand hovers over the jewelry box, awaiting permission.
“Okay.”
He picks it up, delicately, and steps right in front of you, before fiddling with the clasp of the chain. He’s careful as he holds both ends of the chain and reaches around your neck, impressed by how steady his hands are when his heart is pounding in his chest.
He withdraws one hand and hooks a finger under the chain, nestling it so the pendant sits just right in your decolletage.
This is the closest he’s been to you in years, your signature scent overwhelming his senses - of course you’d want to wear it on your wedding day – and somehow his hand is now on your cheek, tilting your head up to meet his eyes.
He shouldn’t.
He really shouldn’t.
But he does, pressing his lips softly against yours.
For a moment, you reciprocate. Your hand automatically lifts to tangle in his locks before you regain your senses. “No.” You pull back, mad at yourself, mad at Leon. “No – this isn’t fair. You had your chance, you had multiple chances. You said you didn’t want a relationship.”
“I couldn’t give you this.” He gestures to your dress. “Not with my lifestyle.”
“I didn’t care about any of that!” Your voice breaks, tears burn at your eyes.
He scoffs, now defensive. “And look where we are – at your wedding.”
“No. Just because Chris did what you were never willing to do-”
“What, paint a target on your back?”
“Open up. Compromise. Literally anything.” And the dam breaks, tears trickling down your cheeks. It hadn’t even been a relationship, not in any proper sense of the word. Late night fumbles, broken promises, a note left on your pillow that he couldn’t give you what you wanted, despite never having the discussion.
“I couldn’t.”
“You didn’t even want to try!”
The door opens and Claire strides in, dressed in a vibrant red gown, tucking her cell in her black purse as you hurriedly try to wipe your face.
“Crisis averted and nearly time to head downsta… Leon - what are you doing in here?”
“Chris asked me to drop off a gift.” His tone is blunt.
“Y-yeah,” you sniff, hooking a finger around the chain to lift up the pendant. “It’s perfect, right?”
“Oh, he got it!” Claire squeals, taking a step forward to get a closer look. “He was so worried you wouldn’t like it.”
“No, I love it.” A rogue tear rolls down your cheek.
“Oh, sweetie, your make-up.” Claire fusses, heading towards the box of tissues on the dressing table. “Sit down.”
“Sorry.” You mumble, sitting down heavily on the stool. “I haven’t ruined it, have I?”
“Not at all.” She smiles, beginning to dab at the tear trails on your face. “Leon, shouldn’t you be heading back to Chris?”
“On my way.” He mocks a salute, before dipping both his hands back in his trouser pockets.
“Leon,” you call and he swings back round embarrassingly fast on his heels at your voice. “Can you thank Chris for me? Tell him I love it. And him.”
He nods and leaves.
--
“Should anyone present know of any reason that this couple should not be joined in holy matrimony,” the minister begins as you stand opposite Chris at the end of the aisle, your eyes flickering from the loving gaze of your groom to meet the best man’s icy blue eyes for a moment, your heart skipping a beat, “speak now or forever hold your peace.”
Leon clenches his fists.
-- Thank you for all your wonderful support, @porcelainseashore ❤️❤️

Hi, it's two part anon. Congrats on the 1000 followers ^^ (sorry I'm late).
I read failed 5 and I love it so much (my kokoro is squeezing lol) can I request to finish failed 5 with just moments of them being cute dorks? Like how Sabo is also crushing on Y/N and has been buying like 3 cups of coffee daily just to see Y/N. Y/N on the other hand, is way too shy and can't say a full sentence with Sabo's presence. Maybe after finding out about they are neighbors both of them attempt to try to ask the other out, but they are clumsy dorks in love. Like Sabo trying to practice his pick up line but the wall's soundproof ability sucks so Y/N hears it all.
I'm aiming for fluffy cute stuffs that will give me cavities.
Congrats again. Have a great day!
Two part anon! I'm so glad you're taking part in my event! I'll admit, with how long this was when I started, I was worried it might be in two parts too 😆. If I'd kept writing, it probably would have but I was trying to keep it to one.
Warning: fluff
Word Count: 1560
   How long had you chatted with your neighbor like this? Weeks? Months? A year? Never once seeing each other’s faces, a wall separating your balconies, but talking to a faceless voice. It was nice to have someone to talk to after you came home from work, almost like having a roommate but without the hassle of an actual roommate.
    “So did you see him again?” the voice asked with a chuckle.
    “Do you think I’d be talking so calmly if I hadn’t?” you asked, a small laugh escaping your lips.
    “I guess that’s true, you’d probably be worrying about how he wasn’t there, is he okay?” your neighbor said in a bad imitation of you.
    “Shut up! You’re just as bad, what was it you were whimpering about the other week? She wasn’t there! Where was she?” you mimicked back. On the other side of the divider wall, Sabo blushed, remembering how he’d been worried about his crush’s health.
    “I was worried she was sick!” Sabo shot back at his mystery neighbor. He never saw them, only knew what they sounded like. He’d tried waiting outside his apartment a couple of times but that never seemed to work.
    “Sure, sure. So, are you gonna finally tell me her name?” you asked, cocking an eyebrow even though you knew he couldn’t see you.
    “Not a chance, what if you know her? You could tell her your ‘weird neighbor’ has a crush on her and keeps stealing glances at her.” the voice called back.
    “What about your name then? We are neighbors after all, it wouldn’t kill us to know each other’s names.” you said with a small laugh. You sort of understood his fear with his crush and in the beginning, you understood his worries about telling you his name, but you’d been talking like this for some time now.
    “I…” Sabo’s brow furrowed, why was he so worried about telling you who he was? Did he prefer the anonymity of not knowing who he was talking to? Was it paranoia about someone knowing some faceless person would know who he was? Was he worried about ruining the strange friendship you already had?
    “That’s okay, you don’t have to, I won’t-”
    “Sabo… i-it’s Sabo.” he interjected, his face suddenly bright red. Why had he just blurted that out?
    “Sabo? Like… blond hair, tall, always wearing gloves and visiting the coffee shop on 2cd, Sabo?” you asked nervously. It couldn’t be. Your crush was living next to you and you didn’t even realize?
    “Uh, yeah. Do… Do we know each other?” Sabo asked, unsure of how you knew him. You were silent for a minute, trying to figure out what to say. He still didn’t know who you were, you could still talk to him anonymously without stumbling nervously over your words or fear of making a complete fool of yourself, right?
    “Hey, you still there?” Sabo asked, snapping you out of your thoughts.
    “Uh, y-yeah, sorry. I was just… I suppose we sort of know each other. You… you come into the coffee shop I work at everyday.” you muttered. It was almost too quiet for Sabo to hear and for a moment he thought he heard wrong.
    “You… you work at the coffee shop on 2cd?” Sabo asked, eyes widening, half wanting to run inside his apartment and hide, half wanting to attempt to jump over to your balcony to see your face, to confirm something in his mind.
    “Is… that okay?” you asked nervously, biting your lip.
    “Y-yeah, that’s awesome. Looks like we knew each other without knowing it, but you still haven’t told me your name. Since I know you work at the coffee shop, I already know who you are in a sense, so there’s no harm, right?” Sabo asked, attempting to be casual but practically bursting with anticipation.
    “Y-Y/n.” you stuttered out, trying to stay calm as you gripped the balcony railing. The two of you had been going on about your lives, your crushes, everything for quite some time now, you knew so much about each other, would he figure out you had a crush on him? Things went silent on both sides, the guy you had a crush on and the girl Sabo had a crush on had been talking to each other for weeks and weeks without realizing they were telling each other everything about their lives.
     Neither of you really noticed the silence, too wrapped up in your own thoughts, your heads spinning until a ring broke you both out of your own thoughts.
    “Uh, sorry, that’s one of my brothers, I gotta go, see you tomorrow?” Sabo asked.
    “Yeah, tomorrow at the coffee shop I guess.” you said, hoping your chuckle didn’t sound as nervous and forced as it felt. With that, the both of you walked into your apartments, both internally freaking out.
     Sabo had been fighting with himself lately. You knew who he was. You knew who he was! Should he stop by more often? Less? You knew he was your neighbor now, he could stop by more often without seeming weird now, right? Just a friendly stop, say hi. No big deal, right? You probably wouldn’t think anything of it, just your friend swinging by! Except if he was stopping by, he’d need a reason for entering the coffee shop to see you. Maybe he should get more coffee? He did stay up pretty late at night, maybe grab one then? To hell with it! He’d swing by! Fuck the excuses, all he needed to say was that he needed more coffee!
     He’d been stopping by more often, why, he wouldn’t say, but your coworkers suspected a big test that he was cramming for. You, on the other hand, had become rather shy around him, barely able to say anything other than your usual welcome and such necessary for work. How could you? He knew who you were now! What if he figured out your feelings for him? Talking to him as your neighbor was easy, talking to him as the girl who worked in the coffee shop wasn’t too hard either. He didn’t know you had feelings for him. But now… what if he figured it out? You’d been telling him about your crush on… him, for a while now!
     Your late night conversations had changed as well. You stuttered and couldn’t finish a sentence anymore. Your once comfortable talks about your crushes, your days, your… everything, now had you a stuttering mess. Likewise, Sabo couldn’t shut up. Between the amount of caffeine and how nervous he was, he’d pace his balcony just blabbering on. The one thing that brought you back down was the other’s crush. He liked someone else. He liked a girl and she was probably one of your coworkers. At the same time, you liked another guy, some guy who stopped by frequently, he’d probably passed the guy before. 
     Biting your lip, you paced the balcony. Neither you, nor Sabo had been meeting up lately, he was probably busy with ‘his girl’. You hated it! Even with tears pricking in your eyes, you opened your mouth.
     “Sabo, you’re the most handsome. No! That’s so… ugh! Sabo I was hoping we could get some coffee? No, no, no, I work in a coffee shop! Hey Sabo, I was wondering if you’d like to go on a date? Wait, don’t guys usually ask girls? Would Sabo be okay if I asked him instead?” you took a deep breath, “Sabo I’d really-” “Y/N WILL YOU GO ON A DATE WITH ME?!” you screeched as you spun around, finding the blond hanging onto your railing on the opposite side. If he let go, he’d fall to the parking lot below.
     “Sabo what are you doing! Get over here before you fall!” you shouted, grabbing his arm and tugging him onto the balcony. The blond shook his head.
     “NOT UNTIL YOU ANSWER ME! WILL YOU GO OUT WITH ME?!” he shouted once more, eyes frantic. He’d heard you practicing, you were practicing to ask him out, right? His chest was heaving from jumping over to your balcony railing, his heart pounding from hearing you practice. Your heart pounded as you realized what he’d just asked. You hadn’t registered what he’d said at first, too surprised by him suddenly showing up to realize what he’d said. You swallowed hard, blushing and looking away.
     “You… you heard me?” you asked nervously, Sabo nodding his head rapidly. 
     “I really like you too! I have for so long! I’ve wanted to ask you out but wasn’t sure how! Please, please go on a date with me!” Sabo pleaded, eyes still wide. You could only blush and nod before pulling on his arm again.
     “A-alright, but you have to get over here first! I don’t want you falling before our first date!” you said, making the boy smile as he climbed over.
     “Don’t worry, there’s no way I’d die before I get to take you out.” he said, picking you up and spinning you around once he was on your balcony. You both smiled and laughed as he put you down, pulling you into a sudden kiss, one that had you melting in his arms. It seemed like the crushes you’d both been telling each other about for so long was each other.

Hi sweetheart
I hope you are doing amazing and everything in your life going well
I have one idea in my brain
Aizawa - nanami - and sanji
15. Pregnancy (Domestic Fluff)
Headcanon
When there wife craves white chocolate strawberries and milk .
I hope you have a wonderful time sweetheart
Heyya! Thank you so much! I hope you are doing all well! Of course 🍞 sorry for taking so long to get around to this and hope you enjoy~
(Female Pronouns)
1000 Follower Event!
Headcanons: Alpha! Aizawa (BNHA), Alpha! Nanami (Jujutsu Kaisen), Alpha! Sanji (One Piece) x Omega! S/O – #15. Pregnancy; Wife having cravings.
Tumblr media
Aizawa Shota
☕ The news came as a pleasant surprise to Aizawa when he found out that his wife is pregnant. Aizawa had always played the relative role of a father figure and mentor to many of his students but didn’t foresee himself actually having a child. The same could be said about having a wife, and yet life seemed to have other plans. Aizawa felt an indescribable happiness towards the news of his wife being pregnant, even as unexpected it was truly welcomed.
☕ Aizawa had always been a worrywart in his own way towards his wife. It became very amplified with the news of her being pregnant. He always checks on her health, making sure she is comfortable, no aches and no pains, outside of what is expected. {Name} appreciated his concern over her but did tell Aizawa not to be so stressed.
☕Over the course of {Name's} pregnancy there had been the rather odd mix of cravings for food and snacks. Sometimes it was relatively normal cravings, other times it was something completely out of the blue and very unusual. She had mentioned this one particular craving she currently had, it was much more tame compared to some in the past. But specially it was for strawberries, white chocolate and milk.
Aizawa bought exactly that, but also anything that seemed would be related to. He left with bags filled with normal milk, strawberry milk, chocolate milk, white chocolate, white chocolate with biscuits, white chocolate dipped strawberries, fresh strawberries, frozen strawberries, canned strawberries, strawberry juice… In fact he felt quite proud of himself for buying such a wide range for his omega to enjoy.
☕ {Name} was surprised when she saw Aizawa arriving with tons of bags as opposed to a small one that she had expected. After Aizawa had unloaded the haul of food she was incredibly happy and needless to say that he craving was well taken care of.
☕ Aizawa felt happy seeing how much she was enjoying all the things he got. Especially since there was tons left over for any future cravings. {Name} thanked him, not only for what he bought but just for his care and going so far for her without complaint.
Tumblr media
Nanami Kento
👔 Nanami took the news of {Name's} pregnancy very well. He did hold some of the normal worries about whether or not he would be able to be a good father. Even with those worries he felt excited at the prospect of starting a family with his mate. {Name} felt content at seeing Nanami being so excited about the news.
👔Made sure to remove as much stress and strain from {Name's} day to day life as possible, in the metaphorical and literal sense. He always insisted on her resting, stopped {Name} from doing any hard work and told her that resting is her job. It was also around that time when Nanami began buying a lot of new things for the house, pregnancy pillows, anti slip mats, extra soft blankets and baby friendly carpets throughout the house and that was just the start. (Not even mentioning when he had already started baby proofing the whole house)
👔Nanami is such a sweetheart to his wife, even before pregnancy he would go the extra mile. Many just put it down to him being a very over protective alpha and while that may be a contributing factor. Nanami always promised to treat his wife as the most precious and treasured existence. And always aimed to please especially when it came to {Name's} pregnancy cravings.
👔Nanami goes to procure all the things she has been craving and buys a few other things that have proven to be all time favorites of his omega. He is so meticulous when preparing the plate of snacks for her, and includes a few of her other favourite snacks alongside it for just in case.
👔 He really feels happy when he sees {Name} enjoying all the snacks. Nanami loves the way her face lights up whenever she eats something delicious and especially when it just hits the nail on the head of her craving. He also makes a mental note to keep some extra in the house for the next time. Its evident that with every craving Nanami makes sure to keep some in the house in case the same craving arises again.
👔 Loves just sitting with {Name} and sharing some sort of affection, whether holding her or a hand. Just some form of contact acts as such a great form of comfort. And also enjoys whenever {Name} shares her food with him. Even if it may be something he doesn’t enjoy he can never reject it if it comes from {Name}.
Tumblr media
Sanji
🍽Sanji never lost that wow factor over {Name}, even after being married he still gets hearts in his eyes every time he sees her. The biggest difference would probably be the bragging to anyone who sees her with the “You see that amazing goddess? That’s my wife" kind of attitude. Generally even being around her makes him happy, now when Chopper had been called to check up on {Name} and disclosed the news of her being pregnant to the couple, Sanji was so astounded and overjoyed that he started crying. (Not that he would admit it)
🍽 Takes any and every opportunity to check up on her and spend some time with {Name}. Sanji had always been overprotective of his omega but ever since the news of her pregnancy it became much more apparent and refused to put her into any danger or discomfort whatsoever.
🍽Sanji went as far as creating an entirely separate menu just for {Name}. The entire menu was driven towards nutrition for pregnancy but also catering for any cravings she may have had. On a daily basis Sanji would ask if {Name} wanted anything specific, and depending on the answer; is how he would proceed with her menu for the day. {Name} had told him that currently she had a craving for something like strawberries, but also something sweet like white chocolate and something cold and rich like milk.
🍽 Thankfully Sanji had everything on hand, he carefully prepares all the ingredients and makes something simple according to what she wants. But that doesn’t stop Sanji from working in the background on something she might enjoy as well. Sanji made his rounds and gave everyone some snacks and drinks and made an additional special drink just for her. It was a milkshake, with fresh strawberries and white chocolate. Sanji felt rather proud of his creation and was excited for {Name} to have a taste.
🍽 Sanji very well may have outdone himself considering {Name} had begun asking for it ever so often after tasting it once. Sanji was more than happy to comply and make her newfound favorite drink. Sanji loved it when people enjoyed the food and drinks he made so seeing his wife enjoying it so much made him feel really proud.
🍽Sanji just loved being able to pamper {Name}. Whether it be with food, affection or just spending time together. He had developed a habit of now talking to her baby bump just to share random stories and tell their child how loved they are.

Hello Ghostdog, I saw your event and thought about Barnabas/fem reader with the idea of ​​amnesia. It would be really interesting, but of course it's up to you😺💖
Amnesia
Tumblr media
Barnabas Tharmr x female reader You awake, slowly, to a gentle sway – back and forth. It’d be comforting if not for the ache radiating around your skull. It takes a few attempts to open your eyes, wincing at the lanterns that illuminate your surroundings. Were it not for them, the room would be in darkness – a circular window the other side of the room appears to be shuttered.
A silver-haired man sits at your bedside, slender legs crossed, looking unamused as you sit upright abruptly, eyes flickering around the room in confusion.
“Do not try anything foolish. My liege would prefer you in tact.”
If you had a clear head, you would’ve questioned the strange man’s words.
“Where…” You swallow, though your mouth remains dry. “Where are we?”
“The Einherjar.”
“The what?” The swaying notion finally makes sense, the circular window… “We’re on a ship?”
The man’s smile seems cruel. “Do you not recall?”
“Recall what? I…” You wince again, clutching the side of your head. It’s as if something’s on the tip of your tongue, something you’re meant to be remembering, alongside a feeling that if you reached out to grab for it, it would turn into vapors between your fingers. “I don’t remember… I don’t remember anything.”
“Anything?” He seems dubious at your claim. The chair creaks as he leans forward, grabbing hold of your chin with a gloved hand and forcing your eyes to meet his. “What is your name?”
“My…” You squeeze your eyes tight, as if the action might squeeze the answer out into your head, but nothing comes. “I don’t… Why don’t I remember my name?”
The silver-haired man lets go of your chin and stands up abruptly, bowing as he speaks. “Excuse me a moment.”
He is out the door, a clunk of a lock following his departure, within the blink of an eye. You stumble up to your feet – everything aches in protest – and try the door, pointlessly. “W-wait!”
You sit back down heavily upon the bed, pulling your knees up to your chest and squeeze your eyes shut again, hoping and praying that everything will make sense in a moment. Yes, in a moment, everything will all click into place and you’ll feel foolish for getting so flustered. The moment does not come despite many moments passing, but the door eventually unlocks and you jump up in reflex. The silver-haired man returns, but not alone. A tall, dark-haired man with cold blue eyes accompanies him, dressed in a royal blue shirt and a high collar, a black doublet layered over the top with billowed sleeves, two belts around his waist and seemingly more around his thighs – a scar peeking out between his shirt’s laces.
He seems familiar.
“Sleipnir informs me you are… not well.”
You take a heavy step back as a wave of light-headedness washes over you, expecting to crash down against the bed, but the strange yet familiar man wraps his arm around your waist with a fast reflex and no hesitation, steadying you at once.
“Sorry, it’s my head, it’s-“
“Do you remember me?” He interrupts, his tone impatient.
“No, I don’t… I don’t remember a thing.” Your voice breaks in frustration. “What’s going on? I don’t-” A heavy hand presses your head into his chest, cutting you off again – he smells of salt and brimstone.
“Hush now, treasure.” He soothes, leading you back to sit upon the bed, his arm remaining tight around your waist. “I will explain. Sleipnir, leave us.” “As you wish, my liege.” You cannot see the silver-haired man leave – your vision obscured by the blue and black of the man’s shirt, but you hear the door open and shut, signaling his departure.
You tilt your head up as he removes his hand and try to take in his face. There is something comfortingly familiar in those blue eyes and black hair of his deep down, you think, even if the term of endearment he seems to be using is not. “Treasure?”
“Ah. Allow me to… reintroduce myself. I am Barnabas Tharmr, King of Waloed, Warden of Ash, Dominant of Odin…” He trails off, suppressing a grin as your brow only continues to furrow in confusion. “But, most importantly,” he takes your wrist and presses a kiss against your pulse point, “I am your lover.”
“My…”
“But you are more than my lover, you are my future queen. You fell and knocked your head on the deck when the seas grew rough. It must ache still, hm?”
“It does, yes,” you nod, keeping your eyes fixed on his.
“You adore being out in the ocean air, treasure. I blame myself for not insisting you seek shelter inside. If I had, you would not be in this state right now.”
“But I… I don’t recall anything. Nothing from before I woke. I surely should-”
“Hush now, do not fret.” He presses calloused fingertips against your lips, silencing you once more. “We will make land soon and return home, to Castle Black, where I will summon the finest healers. We will have you reunited with your memories before long – I promise. You just have to trust me, my love.”
He laces his fingers through your own, raises it to his lips to kiss your knuckles as you feel tears burn at your eyes in frustration.
“My name.” You demand, steadying your voice. “What’s my name?”
Barnabas whispers his mother’s name into your ear.
--
Clive comes to with a groan – a myriad of faces all gathered above him, but not the one he is desperate to see.
He shoots up, too fast for what his body’s been through – sliced through by Odin’s sword - and Byron and Gav try to push him back down against the pillows, but he holds firm as best as he can.
“No.” He murmurs, trying to shrug them off, his heart pounding in his ears. “Where is she?”
No-one replies – Jill and Mid turning away from him to hide the tears in their eyes.
“I’m sorry, brother.” Joshua begins, tentatively, leaning forward in the chair by his bedside. “We were so focused on getting you out… They’ll be halfway to Ash by now.”
The Dominant of Ifrit howls.
--
The Einherjar cuts through the waves at pace. They are expected to make land at dawn, but Barnabas Tharmr has no plans to sleep. In his bed chambers, he presses a long kiss against your temple, your slumbering form cuddled into his chest as he runs his fingers up and down your arm. It had been far too easy to get you to drink the elixir laced with nepenthe petals to keep you drowsy and confused – passing it off as a painkilling draught to soothe the thudding pain in your skull.
He grins as he feels a ripple disturb the aether in the air and can’t resist another kiss on your temple.
“Come and reclaim her, Mythos.” --- Thank you so much for your request, @ironicsss! I couldn't resist going a bit darker cos it's Barnabas, little bit of Clive thrown in there for you too xxx Masterlist . 1,000 followers event Comments and reblogs make my whole day!
