Chapter 4: Empty City

Narrated by Zoey.

Narrator: The courtyard in front of the theater is quiet. Corleone and I walk next to a wall.

Narrator: I only hear the sound of our footsteps.

Narrator: The moonlight shines on the leaves in the courtyard while the soldiers outside wait with bated breath.

Narrator: Suddenly, I hear something near me.

Narrator: Corleone fires a shot toward the sound.

Narrator: A bird falls immediately. Corleone approaches it to check, but suddenly he turns around.

Corleone: Commander.

Narrator: Corleone points at the theater. There is a ray of light now.

Narrator: We move forward separately, keeping an eye our for the possibility of being outflanked.

Narrator: At the entrance, we see Qin Yi sitting on the stage, playing chess by himself in dim lighting.

Narrator: As we walk into the theater, the light on Qin Yi suddenly begins to flicker.

Narrator: But the second floor is pitch black. Maybe someone is waiting to ambush us in the darkness.

Narrator: Corleone fires shots into the darkness and nothing happens.

Zoey: Is this lighting your doing?

Narrator: I step onto the stage and sit in front of Qin Yi.

Qin Yi: Commander, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.

Zoey: You knew I would show up?

Qin Yi: Won’t you play chess with me?

Zoey: I don’t like playing chess.

Narrator: Corleone loads the gun and points it at Qin Yi. The light on on Qin Y’s face, drifting in and our of sight.

Qin Yi: Commander, if you want to kill me, I won’t fight back. I really want to be friends with you. See?

Narrator: Qin Yi rolls up his cuffs.

Corleone: Don’t move!

Narrator: Corleone is worried about hidden weapons. But Qin Yi just shows me his cuffs and pockets.

Qin Yi: There is nothing on me, Commander.

Narrator: He speaks the truth.

Narrator: He is so sincere that I let Corleone put down the gun.

Zoey: Nothing? What about Mercury’s secret?

Qin Yi: Be patient. I know you care about Mercury.

Zoey:I know you care about your mother.

Narrator: He pauses, then smiles.

Qin Yi: Oh? The upright Commander Zoey also collects information now?

Zoey: It’s just a side job. I think it’s worth giving it a try.

Qin Yi: May I ask you a question? Commander, why did you come here directly?

Zoey: Why should I be afraid of you?

Qin Yi: Aren’t you afraid of ambushes?

Zoey: I won’t lose.

Qin Yi: That’s true.

Zoey: What do you want?

Qin Yi: I have a report about Mercury’s experiment on New Wing Island. It’s about Designer’s Reflection.

Zoey: Experiment?

Qin Yi: He has a secret base on New Wing Island. Think about it, what if the report is made public?

Zoey: His corporation will be affected.

Qin Yi: What’s more, this report will cause chaos. Heroes rise during troubling times. You know it better than I do.

Narrator: His hint is obvious.

Qin Yi: Soon he will hold a dance party in Lodden. If you want to get the key to the secret base, this will be the best chance.

Zoey: How did you get the report?

Qin Yi: You do realize that I’m the head of an intelligence organization, right?

Zoey: So it’s true?

Qin Yi: As I said, I really want to be friends with you, Commander.

Zoey: What do you have to be my friend?

Qin Yi: Commander Zoey, no matter how powerful your gun is, there will always be blind spots that you can’t shoot.

Qin Yi: My wind is pervasive. I can make wind easily with the fan.

Narrator: Qin Yi gently unfolds his fan.

Zoey: So this wind will also blow into my Rosset?

Qin Yi: Rosset is an iron rampart. A breeze is nothing.

Narrator: While talking, he fans himself slowly.

Zoey: Don’t be afraid. As long as you keep giving me Mercury’s information, I think we can be friends.

Narrator: I put away the gun, reach out, and wait for Qin Yi to shake my head. He holds the fan, looking at me.

Narrator: There is a crisp snap. The fan is closed.

Qin Yi: For friends, I always elaborate on everything.

Zoey: To true friends, I give help.

hi nikki, congratulations on 2k! it's so deserved <3

for your event, can I request sk8er boi by avril lavigne with nanami specifically "he was a punk, she did ballet" + fluff

thank you <3

Sk8er Boi

He was a punk, she did ballet, what more can I say?

Pairing: Nanami x f!reader

Word Count: ~2.4k

cw: fluff, modern day au, no curses au, college au, reader is a ballet dancer, Nanami is a musician and a skaterboarder

Summary: You’ve had a crush Kento Nanami ever since you first saw in him your class, dressed in the typical skater boy attire with baggy jeans and flannel shirt wrapped loosely around his waist. You don’t ever expect to cross paths any further until you find out that he’ll be performing as part of the orchestra for your spring recital. Soon, you learn that the two of you, despite your seemingly obvious differences, are more compatible than meets the eye.

Author’s Note: Thank you for this request @75songs and for always supporting my Nanami content, I appreciate you so much! This is such a fun song for the y2k karaoke party, I really had a blast writing it. I did a bit of research on ballet, so to any/all my ballet dancers on here, I apologize if I got any details completely wrong or inaccurate! Likes, reblogs, and/or comments are ALWAYS appreciated, thanks so much for reading and I hope you enjoy! Divider credit to @/saradika.

You’re drawn to Kento Nanami from the start, ever since you first lay eyes on him spring semester of your junior year in Music Appreciation. It’s a small class, no more than thirty people in the lecture hall early morning on a Monday. It’s not uncommon for students to travel around campus on a longboard or skateboard, but when you notice Nanami put his on the rack, donned in ripped baggy jeans, white tee, and a blue checkered flannel wrapped around his waist, you can’t help holding your gaze on him a little longer than necessary. As a dance major, with a concentration in ballet, you’re used to your classes being filled with the same people you’ve been with since freshman year. So, when you spot someone new, someone different, it sparks your interest. There’s nothing wrong with admiring from afar, right?

Two months pass of you crushing on him in secret, sneaking glances during lecture, your heart skipping a beat whenever you spy on him outside of class either in the library or cafeteria. You would have never expected your paths to actually cross in March, when your troupe prepares for the spring recital. Mei Mei, your ballet master, instructs you all to gather at the main theater on campus to meet the orchestra, who will be performing the music for the concert. To your pleasant surprise, Nanami is among the ensemble, carrying a bass clarinet in his hands.

“This is our grand orchestra for this spring’s recital,” Mei Mei introduces. “They are some of the finest musicians in the city. Some of them are even your fellow peers here from the university. I expect you all to show them your utmost respect and gratitude for volunteering their time to make this concert spectacular.”

You give them a round of applause, eyes flickering to Nanami, wearing his usual skater boy attire. His gaze meets yours, and he smiles, giving you a small wave. Heat rushes into your cheeks, tummy fluttering nervously, flustered by the fact that he’s acknowledged you. You search around, trying to see if it’s someone next to you that he’s waving at instead, but neither of your neighbors seem aware of him. When you look back, his attention is elsewhere, and the moment passes as quickly as it occurred.

The following Monday, you’re early as usual to class. You set up your laptop and take the extra time to people watch, especially eager to see one particular person. He arrives to the lecture hall with about three minutes to spare, placing his skateboard on the rack. Today, he’s in a black V-neck with a familiar logo on his chest, his collarbones barely visible. You expect him to take his usual spot on the other side of the room, a few rows ahead. When he walks towards you, beelining to the empty seat on your left, you’re dumbfounded, hastily collecting yourself as he asks, “Is this taken?”

You shake your head, attempting a smile, unable to coherently forms words into a proper response. He murmurs a soft, “Thank you,” before sitting down, retrieving his laptop to set in front of him. The professor still hasn’t arrived, and for the first time, you’re actually wishing they would to offer a distraction from this unusual situation.

Nanami clears his throat, turning to face you. “We haven’t properly met yet. I’m Kento Nanami. I recognized you the other day from class. I’m excited to see your performance for the spring recital.”

You introduce yourself, too nervous to meet his gaze, instead focusing on his neck, which only flusters you further. “I’m excited to hear your performance as well. Are you a music major?”

“Yes, music education to be more precise. I want to be a music teacher.”

You smile, relaxing a bit with the easy flow of conversation. “What a coincidence. I want to be a ballet teacher.”

His expression brightens. “Really?”

“Yes, really.”

“Wow,” he muses, eyes twinkling at you.

Maybe it’s just in your head, but there’s a spark. And when the professor finally arrives, you wish you could take back what you thought earlier, because now, you want nothing more but to be distracted by Nanami.

~~~

Since that day, you and Nanami talk with each other every chance you get. Before lecture, on the way to your next class, the few minutes until practice starts, and even after, as he walks you to your on-campus apartment with his skateboard tucked under his arm. You learn that he plays a variety of instruments, including bass clarinet, drums, even a little bit of piano. His true passion is bass guitar, which he plays for his band Black Flash. As if you could like him any more than you already do, the thought of seeing him up on a stage, fingers working nimbly on the strings, slapping a riff with that smooth expression on his face does wonders to your heart. You’re shy every time he compliments your dancing, waving him off to say that you still have work to do to improve your technique, make your moves cleaner, more precise. Still, he continues to praise you, in awe of your flexibility and gracefulness. Sometimes, you’ll catch him staring at you from the pit when Mei Mei pauses the music to focus on a certain movement.

A week before the recital, Nanami waits for you after practice to collect your belongings. You forgot to mention to him earlier that you’ll be staying behind to break in your new pointe shoes, a process that takes a while. “Just go ahead without me,” you tell him.

He lingers while you sit down on the stage, a hard mat in front of you, unboxing your shoes. “What are you doing?”

“Pointe shoes are very stiff, so I have to break them in before I can dance in them properly,” you explain.

“What do you mean ‘break in’?” He peers at you with a curious expression on his face, kneeling down to sit beside you.

You smile at him, clapping your shoes together to create a loud noise. “Hear how hard these are? I’m going to bash them against this mat to soften them up.”

“Bash them?”

“Yup. Like this.” You proceed to smash the sole against the mat repeatedly, enjoying how Nanami gapes at you, shocked. You giggle at him, handing him the other half. “You can help me with this if you want. It’s a nice form of stress relief, right?”

He reaches into his pocket for his phone. “Sounds like a good opportunity to play some music.”

You scoot closer to him. “You should play something by Black Flash,” you request, smirking at him.

“Really? You want to hear something from us?”

“Absolutely.”

He smiles at you, a subtle blush surrounding his cheeks. “Okay.”

For the next half hour, you whack your shoes to the beat of the music, listening carefully for the smooth bass, knowing it’s Nanami. He watches you test them out with Black Flash still playing in the background, stretching and swiveling in them to mold to your feet properly. Usually, you’re alone or with your troupe doing this, and it’s as uneventful as you’d imagine. But with Nanami, this ordinary task is special. You appreciate him being so interested in your passion, even if it is vastly different from his own. You would have never expected the mysterious skater boy from your class to be holding your ballet shoes in hand or clapping politely as you stand on pointe for him, impressed by your skill. And you would have never expected yourself to fall so head over heels for him.

~~~

The spring recital is a massive success. Mei Mei bows in front of the standing ovation, holding a fresh bouquet of flowers in her hands. She points at the orchestra in the pit, giving them her unending thanks. You glance over at Nanami, looking professional and handsome in his black-tie attire, though you can’t help but miss the typical baggy jeans and basic tee he usually wears.

Backstage, exhausted but still buzzing with excitement, you all remove your makeup together, discussing the after party. “Are you coming with us? Or are you planning to go out with your boyfriend?” Your friend, Hana, smirks at you through the reflection in the mirror, wiping off her eyeshadow.

Before you can respond, the other dancer beside you scoffs. “Isn’t he a punk or something? What would your parents say if they knew you were dating him?”

Her blatant rudeness shocks you, and you’re unsure how to respond, blood gradually boiling with anger. Luckily, your friend does. “What the hell are you talking about, Kimi? Do you even know him?”

She barks a crude laugh. “I mean, just look at him. He’s always wearing those baggy clothes. You’re telling me she,” Kimi points to you, “will ever get with a guy like him?”

Your friend glares at her, ready to argue, but you interfere, mustering the courage to speak up for yourself, and for Nanami. “He’s a great guy who’s been nothing but sweet and kind to me. Not that it matters, but I happen to like his clothes. And you know what else? I like Nanami, so yes, I would get with a guy like him. So, I would appreciate it if you kept your judgmental attitude to yourself from now on.”

Conveniently finished removing your stage makeup, you pack your bag, turning your back to her, giving Hana a passing high-five on your way out.

~~~

“Are you sure it’s okay for me to go there like this?” You sit in the passenger seat of Nanami’s car, dressed in leggings and a comfortable t-shirt, an hour after your performance. He met you outside the theater back in his usual get-up with a dozen roses in his hands, congratulating you. After, you went out for burgers, it was then that he invited you to watch Black Flash tonight at one of the local venues downtown.

“Of course. You look great, as always,” he answers, grinning at you. “Are you sure you want to go to this? I know there’s probably an after party you’d much rather attend – ”

You interrupt him gently, smiling. “I’d much rather be here than anywhere else right now.”

When you arrive to the venue, Nanami leads you through the crowd, acknowledging some of the workers as he passes by, making his way backstage. There, you meet his bandmates: Gojo the guitarist, Geto who does lead vocals and guitar, and Shoko, the drummer. They all greet you politely, teasing Nanami for “finally bringing a date to the show.” He blushes, ignoring them, quietly setting up, tuning his bass.

By the time Black Flash is ready to perform, your new friends direct you back to the audience to watch them. You maneuver your way through the throng of people, taking your spot near the front, wanting a good view of them, especially Nanami. When the MC announces their name, the crowd goes wild, hooting and hollering for them as they walk across the stage, waving at their fans like true rockstars. Your chest fills with adrenaline, heart pumping with excitement, attention focused on Nanami as he stands to the left, guitar hanging low with the strap wrapped around his shoulders. He glances up, searching the audience until his eyes land on yours; he smiles at you, giving you a small wave with his free hand, the left cradling the neck delicately.

As soon as the music starts, the bass reverberates from the speakers and up the soles of your feet, electrifying every nerve in your body. You recognize the song they’re playing; it reminds you of the week before, when you were bashing your pointe shoes against the hard mat, nodding your head along to the music. You’ve since added Black Flash into your daily playlist, listening to it often, imagining Nanami grooving with the bass nestled in his hands. His talent is other worldly; just a few hours ago, he was decked out in a suit, performing in an orchestra, and now he’s out here, rocking the stage with his fellow bandmates. Your pulse quickens, exhilarated by the familiar music and the realization that your little crush on Nanami is much more serious than you originally thought.

~~~

Nanami skips the band’s invitation for a late-night bite to take you back to campus. In the car, you ask, “Are you sure you don’t want to go with them? I can find another way home easily.”

“I’d much rather be here than anywhere else right now,” he says, repeating the same answer you gave him earlier. You smile, holding each other’s gaze a second longer before he starts driving.

You babble on and on about how impressive the show was, how completely starstruck you became by the end of it. “The bass really comes through when you’re playing live! I felt it in my soul, especially during ‘Overtime’. I think that might be my favorite song.”

He pulls up to the parking lot down the street from your complex, turning off the ignition. “I’m really happy you came tonight. I know you must be tired.”

“Are you kidding?!” you exclaim, shifting in your seat to face him. “I got a second wind as soon as you started playing! Yeah, my feet are a little sore, so I’ll definitely need to ice them tomorrow morning, but oh my gosh! That was truly amazing! I can’t believe I got to see Black Flash live in concert – ”

He leans into you, interrupting your rambling with a soft kiss on the lips. His hand slides around the nape of your neck, pulling you in deeper, and after the initial shock of it all, you melt into him, mouths moving seamlessly with each other. You only stop to catch your breath, pressing your forehead to his, whispering his name. “Nanami.”

“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have done that,” he mutters, breaking apart from you, burying his face in his hands. “I should have asked if it was okay with you first. I just…I lost control because you’re so sweet, and so beautiful, and I – ”

“Nanami,” you say again, smiling at him. You pull his hands away from him, brushing your lips along his skin, kissing him softly on each knuckle. “I liked it. I like you.”

He swallows thickly, eyes widening at your confession. “You do?”

“Can I make it any more obvious?” you giggle.

He lets out a relieved laugh, cheeks rounded with happiness, nuzzling his nose to yours. “I really like you too. I’ve liked you from the start.”

The Evermore Grimoire: Wheel of Witches

The Onyx Witch was one of ten witches prophesied by The Oracle who just like her powers sadly lived a life of misery and darkness. Born from a tryst between a warlock and demon some time in the early 1900′s, she lived her life amongst demons that only worsened after her demon mother was vanquished when she was a child. Due to her extraordinary powers of Necromancy as well being able to control shadows and darkness (Umbrakinesis) because of her hybrid status, she was highly sought after in the demon world. The Onyx Witch was constantly bought and sold amongst demons who would use and abuse her powers in order to climb the ranks of the demonic world. The only time she ever felt any sort of comfort in her horrific life was when she was forced to wake the dead, and when no one was looking she would often ask the dead about their lives before death. Some would even comfort and reassure her that despite her horrid life it would never define who she was as a powerful witch with a kind heart. It was believed that in her later years as a witch, she finally found the to courage to obliterate her demonic abusers once and for all when darkness swept through the streets of New York City during Prohibition. Some believed it originated from a secret bar that welcomed both witches and demons who sought to use their magic in the name of evil. Other’s believed it was the work of the devil reaping his rewards from those who were happy to break the law. Regardless, The Onyx Witch was never seen again both in the magical and mortal world.

💃🏼🍷 Design Concept 🍷💃🏼

On the roof of the building, the highest point of the city,

A young man wearing an exquisite ball mask stood tremblingly on the edge of a tall building,

The purple gems on the mask shone with strange light,

The frenzied power of collocation brought up a whirlwind, and the ground collapsed and shattered amidst silent mourning.

Lolory stood in front of the young man without any fear,

Although the wind blew up her skirt pleats violently, it couldn't shake her elegant and calm heart.

She took a step forward, and held out her hand to the young man, saying,

"Don't worry, you'll be fine."

💃🏼🍷 Design Hilight 🍷💃🏼

Soft light tones create an elegant atmosphere, silk satin and velvet gather the floral pleats on the hem of the skirt,

The hidden spring flowers decorate the intricate and delicate skirt, and the masked down is as light as a breeze.

The beauty and elegance she believes in will never fade away, just like the belief in guardianship has never changed.

New Releases for January 30, 2024

The four new releases we found this week are filled with poetry, murder, romance, and a little more murder of the fantastical variety.

Poemhood: Our Black Revival: History, Folklore & the Black Experience: A Young Adult Poetry Anthology edited by Amber McBride Taylor Byas, & Erica Martin HarperCollins

Starring thirty-seven poets, with contributions from acclaimed authors, including Kwame Alexander, Ibi Zoboi, and Nikki Giovanni, this breathtaking Black YA poetry anthology edited by National Book Award finalist Amber McBride, Taylor Byas, and Erica Martin celebrates Black poetry, folklore, and culture.

Come, claim your wings.

Lift your life above the earth,

return to the land of your father’s birth.

What exactly is it to be Black in America?

Well, for some, it’s learning how to morph the hatred placed by others into love for oneself; for others, it’s unearthing the strength it takes to continue to hold one’s swagger when multitudinous factors work to make Black lives crumble. For some, it’s gathering around the kitchen table as Grandma tells the story of Anansi the spider, while for others it’s grinning from ear to ear while eating auntie’s spectacular 7Up cake.

Black experiences and traditions are complex, striking, and vast—they stretch longer than the Nile and are four times as deep—and carry more than just unimaginable pain—there is also joy.

Featuring an all-star group of thirty-seven powerful poetic voices, including such luminaries as Kwame Alexander, James Baldwin, Ibi Zoboi, Audre Lorde, Nikki Giovanni, and Gwendolyn Brooks, this riveting anthology depicts the diversity of the Black experience by fostering a conversation about race, faith, heritage, and resilience between fresh poets and the literary ancestors that came before them.

Edited by Taylor Byas, Erica Martin, and Coretta Scott King New Talent Award winner Amber McBride, Poemhood will simultaneously highlight the duality and nuance at the crux of so many Black experiences with poetry being the psalm constantly playing.

Wander in the Dark by Jumata Emill

Delacorte Press

Amir Trudeau only goes to his half brother Marcel’s birthday party because of Chloe Danvers. Chloe is rich, and hot, and fits right into the perfect life Marcel inherited when their father left Amir’s mother to start a new family with Marcel’s mom. But Chloe is hot enough for Amir to forget that for one night.

Does she want to hook up? Or is she trying to meddle in the estranged brothers’ messy family drama? Amir can’t tell. He doesn’t know what Chloe wants from him when, in the final hours of Mardi Gras, she asks him to take her home and stay—her parents are away and she doesn’t want to be alone.

Amir never gets an answer to his question, because when he wakes up, Chloe is dead—stabbed while he was passed out on the couch downstairs—and Amir becomes the only suspect. A Black teenager caught fleeing the scene of the murder of a rich white girl? All of New Orleans agrees, the case is open and shut.

Amir is innocent. He has a lawyer, but unless someone can figure out who really killed Chloe, it doesn’t look good for him. His number one ally? Marcel. Their relationship is messy, but his half brother knows that Amir isn’t a murderer—and maybe proving Amir’s innocence will repair the rift that’s always existed between them.

To find Chloe’s killer, Amir and Marcel need to dig into her secrets. And what they find is darker than either could have guessed. Parents will go to any lengths to protect their children, and in a city as old as New Orleans, the right family connections can bury even the ugliest truths.

Just Say Yes by Goldy Moldavsky Henry Holt and Co. (BYR)

Jimena Ramos had no idea she was undocumented.

Now she’s seventeen, and she needs to figure out a way to stay in New York City, the only home she can remember. There’s only one possibility that will get her a green card quickly enough: Jimena is going to find an American to marry her.

She’s got one excellent candidate: Vitaly, her next-door neighbor and friend, the only person she trusts with her secret. But Vitaly’s got his own plans for the future. He’s a definite no.

So Jimena tries online dating. She decides to approach this marriage like a business transaction. She figures out a plan that just might save her and make her a citizen at last.

But of course, she can’t stop thinking about Vitaly.

These Deadly Prophecies by Andrea Tang G.P. Putnam’s Sons Books for Young Readers

A teenage sorcerer’s apprentice must solve her boss’s murder in order to prove her innocence in this twisty, magic-infused murder mystery perfect for fans of Knives Out and The Inheritance Games .

Being an apprentice for one of the world’s most famous sorcerers has its challenges; Tabatha Zeng just didn’t think they would include solving crime. But when her boss, the infamous fortuneteller Sorcerer Solomon, predicts his own brutal death—and worse, it comes true—Tabatha finds herself caught in the crosshairs.

The police have their sights set on her and Callum Solomon, her murdered boss’s youngest son. With suspicion swirling around them, the two decide to team up to find the real killer and clear their own names once and for all.

But solving a murder isn’t as easy as it seems, especially when the suspect list is mostly the rich, connected, and magical members of Sorcerer Solomon’s family. And Tabatha can’t quite escape the nagging voice in her head just how much can she really trust Callum Solomon?

Nothing is as it seems in this quick-witted and fantastical murder mystery.

Can I request a NSFW Alphabets for Kaissen author?🙏 She's my favorite OC in your city yandere.

♡ Kassien's NSFW Alphabet ♡

♡ A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex) ♡

Kassien is amazing at it no matter what mood she's in. Kassien loves long sessions with lots of edging and then lots of things happening all at once towards the end so she knows that since she's a bit intense, you need lots of aftercare to treat your poor abused body. It doesn't matter how mad she was with you prior, she's always going to make sure to soothe you at the end even if you don't want her close to you and are still mad at her.

She ultimately wants to treat you softly and so after a punishment, a.k.a. a very long edging session, she'll always be back to treating you sweetly and thus plenty of aftercare. She wants to show you that this is how things should be all the time with you tending to your needs and if you stop fighting, you'll get to enjoy this every day. If it was a punishment then she might be subtly mocking you for fighting against her so much but if it wasn't a punishment then she'll be sickly sweet.

♡ B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s) ♡

For her it's the wings, she doesn't have the most impressive set considering Nikki who has four of them but Kassien's wings are pretty much the only thing that sets her apart from low ranking demons and makes her a mid rank demon so she likes them. She likes taking her wings and wrapping them around you until you have to force her to let you go because it's a bit suffocating and way too hot being curled up in her wings. It's a shock when you wake up and her wing isn't draped over you making you warmer than normal.

She has no preference when it comes to your body though she would like someone shorter than her and if you're shorter than she'll be very happy but if you're taller then she'll just tease you for still not being able to escape her when she tosses you around. If she's still hiding her true self then she'll be extra determined to prove that she can take care of you despite being shorter than you. As you've likely noticed by now, Kassien has a raging inferiority complex.

♡ C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically) ♡

She'd prefer you to cum on her face or fingers so she can taste it but she isn't the pickiest. In omegaverse then she's cumming on your back or stomach to make clean up quicker. Unlike Sawyer, she finds knotting obnoxious because she wants to be able to take care of her mate so she might cum inside but she'll only knot if you beg for it.

♡ D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs) ♡

She probably has a camera in your room and has likely taken notes while watching you masturbate in order to please you once she finally gets her hands on you. She'd also probably order you to masturbate in front of her once she she can get an idea of your likes before she dives in.

♡ E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?) ♡

She has no experience and will have no clue what she's doing at first but is eager to learn and will learn your own body better than you know it once you're with her a few times. Honestly the mate bond makes a pretty good cheat code cause she knows what you're feeling very well.

♡ F = Favorite position (this goes without saying) ♡

On your hands and knees, face buried in a pillow while she eats you out, she likes seeing how long it takes for your arms to give out and for you to have your face completely in the bed. She also like mid arm with your legs around her waist so you have no choice but to scratch her back for dear life.

♡ G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.) ♡

Kassien can tell jokes and understand jokes on occasion but that flies out the window when you two are together so don't tease her, even if normally she could tell you were joking, once horny she can't tell it was just a joke and might get upset about it.

♡ H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.) ♡

Not very well groomed unless you ask her to be. She keeps it a bit shorter but doesn't shave or wax or anything other than trimming it a bit. I also would like to imagine her arms are hairy, heer legs aren't but her arms are a little bit hairy. Not too much but enough for you to notice.

♡ I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect) ♡

It depends on if she's shown you her true self yet or not. If she's still pretending to be soft and patient then it's super romantic and soft. She'll light candles and set the mood and all that jazz. If she's no longer pretending then it will still be romantic but in a different way. She'll whisper promises of what she'll do if you just give in and allow her to treat you the way she's always wanted to treat her mate. She'll tell you about future dates and will talk about how excited she is to have a life with you.

♡ J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon) ♡

No, she might want to watch you masturbate but she doesn't feel a need for herself. She likes focusing all her attention on her mate. Even in like the omegaverse, I still don't see her doing it unless she's in a rut. She's just more the type to take all her sexual frustration and unleash it on you.

♡ K = Kink (one or more of their kinks) ♡

Edging, overstimulation, and dacryphilia. She doesn't like seeing you cry in a non sexual context but she loves seeing you get overwhelmed by her and she thinks of those as tears of joy. She'll probably literally lick your tear away like a freak and soothe you with a smile. She'll just think you're so happy and you must be crying because you finally realized everything she can give to you.

♡ L = Location (favorite places to do the do) ♡

It's in her apartment or somewhere away from prying eyes. She needs to make sure that no one else has the pleasure of glimpsing you even accidentally. She'd also prefer to do it on her bed so your legs don't hurt but isn't opposed to the couch in her apartment or against a wall if she's holding you up to make sure you don't fall and get hurt doing the do.

♡ M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going) ♡

Jealousy which means she's pretty much constantly ready for action because she's jealous all the time. She'll make up a random person in her head who wants to steal you and get jealous over a situation she made up. The only way to queel her jealousy of this fictional person is to assure herself that this make believe person could never ever touch you the way she can.

Beyond that if you ever want it then just ask and she'll be ready that single moment because nothing gets her going more than you wanting her. If you want something then just seduce her first before asking cause when horny, she's a soft idiot who will absolutely buy you that overpriced thing you wanted.

♡ N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs) ♡

Share. Other yanderes can share if you pair them up with the correct OC but there is no scenario in which Kassien would be able to share. She also cannot do it anywhere that someone might see you. She might be willing to do it in her office but she's going to cover your mouth and heavily lock the door so no one else can even hear your voice. Her apartment is sound proofed.

♡ O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.) ♡

She only gives. Sorry but Kassien is not going to let you go down on her, she's just not super into it since she can literally get off just by giving to you. Demons in general prefer to give to their mate and rarely ever want it reciprocated but Kassien especially is not one who wants reciprocation. If you want to reciprocate then just praise her a lot and if you really want to make her happy then make out with her a bit after she's eaten you out.

♡ P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.) ♡

Slow and rough. Though honestly not as rough as you'd expect her to be. She even makes sure her claws don't come out while you're doing it and she won't even threaten to hurt you at all since she wants you to feel safe and desperate for her ans she knows being as brutal as she normally is on a day to day basis won't get her what she wants.

♡ Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.) ♡

Very unlikely to have a quickie and even if she does it's probably only once. Likely you try to initiate in her office and then cut it off quickly with the excuse of needing to go back to the apartment, leaving her sad in her office and after that she doesn't let you initiate in the office cause she thinks you're just tricking her and that you're planning on leaving again soon after. You've ruined office sex for her cause now she'll associate it with you leaving quickly.

♡ R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.) ♡

She's down to experiment if you bring it up first, otherwise she's actually kind of a dork and sticks to the basics every time because she doesn't know what else she's supposed to do. She has no experience and does not look at porn so she doesn't know anything other than the stuff you two already do. It's not that she doesn't want to experiment but it never crosses her mind that there are other things you two can do.

♡ S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?) ♡

Demons naturally have a high amount of stamina, even the low rankers, and she's mid ranked so she can go on for a while. If she ever runs out of stamina for a session then you're probably literally about to drop dead because it would have to have gone on for a damn long time. Her hips are the area with the most stamina, her fingers and tongue can not keep up with the long sessions but her arms and hips will literally probably never get tired the whole time.

♡ T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?) ♡

Yes, it's the only way her long sessions are possible. Her fingers or tongue would literally cramp up if she was going it all by herself. I also don't know if y'all count a strap as a toy but she uses it semi frequently so there you go. She's pretty willing to use a wide variety of toys on you and throughout your relationship her collection will only begin to grow. If she's still hiding her true self then she's much less inclined to use them though since she's worried it might frighten you away.

♡ U = Unfair (how much they like to tease) ♡

She teases honestly way too much. If she's still hiding her true self then she'll accidentally tease you by being a bit too soft so you'll have to ask for her to use even slightly more pressure since she still wants to keep a good image in front of you and she thinks slow is how nice patient people do it. If she's shown her true self then her teasing is on purpose and a lot worse.

♡ V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.) ♡

She's a massive shit talker and literally the type to fucking moan and growl and act like the strap is literally real, not that you probably mind. She's pretty quiet since she's much more of a growler than she is a whiner though you might get her to whine if you make out with her and run your hands through her hair for a long time, she also melts and whines so nicely when you scratch at her back.

♡ W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character) ♡

Rarely if ever brushes her hair so sometimes when she goes down on you you'll see her scramble around for a brush so she can put it up so it doesn't get sticky or in the way. Sometimes this might take like ten minutes and no you aren't allowed to get up and help her find it, you need to stay right where you are.

♡ X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes) ♡

Abs and pecs, sorry I just love my small chested women too much. At most you're working with maybe a small B but since she's so fit her boobs are extremely firm and much more like pectorals. I imagine she might also wear a binder or sports bra. Kassien does not approve of you touching her chest very much and while she might let you touch it when the binder is on, Kassien just doesn't like having them touched for the most part. She's pretty muscular under her sweater though and her shoulders are very broad so you could touch those instead if you want. Very muscular thighs so perfect for thigh riding if you want.

♡ Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?) ♡

Not actually that high, sure she does like having sex and it's the quickest way to calm her jealousy but more than anything she just likes being close to you which usually just means fondling you absentmindedly as she does paperwork which gets you turned on and once you're turned on she's turned on but she didn't actually mean to start things and there are other ways beyond sex to calm her jealousy so she's perfectly fine barely ever having sex plus sex takes so long with her that you two decide not to do it super super often. That said if sex is something you enjoy then her libido will be through the roof and if you decide that sex is how you want to calm her jealousy then you'll basically be having it extremely often. If she was capable of going a week without jealousy though then I imagine the two of you might not even have sex unless you initiate first.

♡ Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards) ♡

Demons don't really sleep very much and even if she's pretty tired afterwards cause it's been going on for five hours, she still might take only a very very light nap. The worst part of waking up in the morning after sex is seeing her beady eyes staring straight into your soul and scaring the crap out of you but you can't pull away cause her wing is pinning you to her.

kaeya having his mandela catalogue moment seeing the copy of his brother… can’t wait for him to meet shade! that definitely won’t fuck him up at all! - teddy anon

oh he’ll totally leave that interaction 100% sane (lying)

brief note, diluc and shade would be over in .2 seconds. putting aside the impossibility of shade leaving your side willingly, diluc has long since memorized the microexpressions on kaeya’s face, and knows that he isn’t him.

brief note two, shade is much better at passing as kaeya than red is diluc. aside from the very obvious detail of red borderline growling at people all the time, red carries himself differently. diluc, while often awkward and sometimes unintentionally cold, is still approachable, a trait that red could never manage. shade, however…

shade is a bandit. a master of disguise mixed with kaeya's already clever personality, able to mask himself as kaeya—and has, on occasion, to lead a patrol away or to snatch some medical supplies from the city for you or nikki. the difference is that he has a diluc to fall back on, one that he can trust with his entire self. kaeya can't let himself be honest with diluc and vice versa, but shade and red can. who better to tell your homicidal urges to than your fellow reflection?

imagine with me. post hunt. you're entering mondstat, without red at nikki's request. you, nikki, momo, and shade, making your way toward the gates. everyone knew about the old copy of diluc you had made, about the mirrors your friend taught you to use to summon the archons of old. even night, elusive as she was, was known throughout the knights.

but shade was new. shade was quick on his feet, always swift to pull you through the impossible tangles of forest, into thickets that would knit behind you so the patrols couldn't follow. shade was a well kept secret, only glimpsed in rumors throughout the city that the cavalry captain was occasionally seen in a new set of formal wear.

kaeya had heard these rumors. he'd also known that your 'diluc' was your closest guard, and had himself witnessed him going into the city. he'd thought nothing of it, assuming the people had simply seen someone that looked like him. they hadn't.

once youre close enough for him to actually recognize shade, its like his whole world falls apart.

"divine one..." jean, at his side, likely also recalling the rumors. "your company..."

"this is momo and nikki," you introduce, "and this is shade."

shade. some part of that feels ironic.

hes not surprised by the talking cat, barely registering nikki's polite hello as he locks eyes with shade. same height, same hair, same patch over the eye and sharp smile when he knows he's won.

"shade, say hello."

shade blinks, then flashes a fake smile. "greetings."

the meeting is a blur for kaeya. all he can see is shade, shade and how clearly you and him are attached. his hand held in yours, the adoring look in his eyes as he watches you speak-

he'd passed as kaeya. his mask was so paper thin someone he's never even met could imitate it flawlessly, putting on his identity like a costume on the world's stage and doing it better.

shade was the one at your side. shade led you away with a polite smile—you didn't see the way it dropped so he could shoot kaeya a glare—and a hand around your waist. shade was the one that believed you, that kept you safe.

kaeya had invented the frostwind swordsman. he'd crafted his persona by hand, making a shield out of his words and behavior, and yet it was somehow shade that had perfected it.

#m1d : [chats]#teddy anon #the shining nikki saga #sailwind shadow #i wanted to include shade last post but ran out of time #unrelated but holy FUCK is driving so scary #my teacher had us go on the interstate today… YIKES MAN #55 on highways. fine. we ball. the SECOND i hit sixty every nerve in my body enters fight or flight #the human body is NOT meant to operate something going that fast #thank the lord it was only for a brief stretch of time any longer and i honest to god would have had to pull over #you can’t handle the uber reflexes of my uber autism. observe: [has to engage manual breathing once i reach 65mph]

THE FAIR TAX

In all fairness, the "Fair Tax" as described by Neil Bortz in his book, would be the greatest thing to ever happen to America. 23% national sales tax? YES, but ELIMINATE the IRS ALTOGETHER!

No agents, No Auditors. No Need. EVERYBODY pays taxes, but only on brand new products. New Car? Taxed. Used car? No tax.

Who is everybody? Illegal (criminal)Aliens, Drug Dealers, Organized Crime Bosses, Politicians, Prostitutes. visiting foreigners. EVERYBODY

Why is it called FAIR? No one HAS to file taxes and report to the government what you earned, but if you choose to, you can file an income form to be reimbursed for taxes paid, if your income is below determined levels.

New Home? Taxed. Used NO FEDERAL TAXES

No Capital gains taxes, no social security taxes, no medicare, NO CORPORATE TAXES

ALL FEDERAL TAXES ELIMINATED

No Corporate taxes? Really?! YES!!! Companies don't have a big pile of money sitting over there designated "Taxes" Companies have cash flow. Raise taxes, they raise prices. BIG SECRET Companies don't pay taxes. Consumers do in the form of higher prices!!

23% Sales tax? Yes, But corporate tax rates are 39%. EVERYBODY (remember) would pay 23% on LOWER PRICED GOODS AND SERVICES.

Think about how competitive American Goods would become overseas if we dropped (costs) prices by 40%!!

Jobs that left America would return. Jobs that were never here would come flooding in

BEST IDEA EVER!!!

I DON"T BELIEVE THAT HILLARY (Read my lips- No New Gasoline taxes) HALEY WOULD EVER ACTUALLY SUPPORT THE FAIR TAX, But it looks like a conservative position that you know that you'll never actually 'push come to shove' defend

Screw Nikki and her open borders and sanctuary cities

#Fair tax #fav #fave
