#Rain world plays like a novel you can't set down

So let me get this straight:
Hollow knight is about the journey of a small creature possessing the corpse of a god's discarded child, and the character arc that unfolds as they realize they're more than the path they were set to take, eventually defeating the corruption instead of merely postponing inevitable destruction.
Rain world is about the journeys and experiences of many small creatures sent by a bunch of gossiping computers, and the efforts to help stop the destruction caused by a corrupted god that unfolds over hundreds of years, all to postpone his inevitable death.
Man, video games are fun!

ACT 1, SCENE 3: blue lock headcanons
Tumblr media
sae is into skincare: lotions, serums, the whole set. he and rin used to have self-care nights as children during which they would sit in bed with matching face masks and watch cartoons on the family tablet. if they were in a good mood, they would let you join.
barou listens to classical while working out. no joke. this man is so insanely focused he will shoot goals and play paganini at the same time. his work ethic is low-key why you were attracted to him the first place.
nagi is lazy to the point he will deliberately buy five pairs of the same exact pants just to save himself the trouble of having to choose an outfit in the morning. thank god for reo otherwise nagi would still be dressing like he just crawled out of bed. he still can't do much about his bedhead though.
rin desperately wanted to join sae in the deeper end of the community pool; however, he was deathly afraid of drowning. his only logical solution was to cover himself in pool floaties while he dipped a single toe into the water. even to this day, he still has traumatic memories of that experience. you need to hold his hand every time.
kaiser acts like his football prowess comes entirely from natural talent. in reality, he trains to an obsessive degree behind the scenes. you could come home at midnight, and he would still be there replaying every single highlight of his recent game. he is the type to keep detailed notes about all the players he went up against.
isagi likes to walk around his hometown of saitama and just observe the snapshots of life around him. whether it's a street vendor, children playing on a grass patch, or a couple in the sunset, he secretly enjoys these little vignettes of human experience. he would become sentimental when it comes to you. sometimes you have to pull his head out of the clouds.
nagi has parents who work overseas, so the most he sees of them is through video calls or holiday presents. occasionally, he also gets a birthday card shipped through international mail. when you threw him his first surprise party, he secretly felt touched because his family was never big on physical celebrations.
sae is ridiculously good at anything that involves data and calculations. he participated in a math competition one time in junior high, and he would have made it to the national level had he not been entirely focused on football. refused to tutor rin in algebra though because apparently his little brother has to figure out everything for himself. if it were you though, he would begrudgingly agree.
bachira holds the world record in procrastination. his notebook, pencil, and eraser are still as untouched and pristine as they were on the first day of the academic school year. he does not know what a book is, nor has he read one. he only studied because you refused to cuddle with him otherwise.
ego eats so many cups of instant ramen noodles that his glasses begin to fog up from time to time. anri has to clean the frames and lenses weekly just to make sure his myopic self can even see. at this point, she's the real MVP of the entire series.
barou likes to open the windows right after it rains because he enjoys the sweet smell of petrichor. his ideal day would be spent lounging on a couch with some tea and a novel. it would be even more perfect if you snuggled under the blankets with him.
niko sometimes wakes up in the middle of the night, immensely insecure about his forehead. he thinks it looks giant though it really isn't. you have to brush his fringe back and pepper kisses down his face and remind him that a big forehead means a big, sexy brain, so it really isn't that bad. he believes you and goes back to sleep.
shidou would make fun of boomers. in fact, he'd ridicule every single person he considers past their prime. he does not believe in any form of authority, nor does he like being told what to do. if he had his way, he would have turned the entire world into anarchy a long time ago. the only reason why he doesn't wake up and make himself everyone's problem is because he doesn't want to upset you.
kaiser knows he is very well-endowed physically, so he purposefully walks around your apartment shirtless. if he catches you eyeing him, he will make a big deal out of it. tries to not-so-subtly flex his biceps every time he reaches for the milk carton.
reo loves cocktail dresses, especially in the wine red shade. something about the accentuated figure and natural curves gives him goosebumps. his favorite part of you is when your tummy slightly protrudes after you've eaten too much. you might think it's embarrassing, but he thinks it's adorable.
rin only uses shower gel, mostly because he learned his lesson after using the locker room shower stalls. never use bar soap, always use bottled. he's also the type to always have shower shoes. sae taught him that.
bachira is the type of student to completely misread the question and still not feel bad after the teacher points it out. oh no, he was actually supposed to solve for x, not just circle it? he'll shrug it off like nothing ever happened. at least he tried. the teacher should be grateful for his effort.
sae says he does not understand the sentiments behind cute couple traditions but then proceeds to get upset when you show up to his game without wearing his jersey. would definitely get you matching bracelets for your anniversary.
aiku has a high spice tolerance. he would definitely drown his food either in sriracha or buldak sauce. if you can't handle spicy though, he would set aside a separate plate just for you and manually spoon out the food just to make sure you have something to eat too.
aryu never has dry cuticles. he is always trimming and filing to perfection. sometimes he has beef with your nail tech because he thinks he could have done so much better on your acrylics. refuses to let you go to a salon because he already has all the tools and expertise necessary.
sae does not know how to cook. his manager has always ordered take-out for him. the one time he tried to use a microwave, he completely misread the package instructions and nearly burned the entire building down. called you up with the straightest face afterwards to tell you that the smoke alarms were not shutting off.
barou unconsciously caves into peer pressure. every single new trend makes him rethink his personal style. however, he views it all with an old man mentality. like what are these youngsters doing these days? dying their hair every possible color of the rainbow? he has to do that too. proceeds to call aryu to add red streaks into his own hair. sometimes you have to remind him that external opinion should always taken with a grain of salt.
chigiri has a major sweet tooth. if you so much as bake him one single treat, he will have made plans to put a ring on your finger before he even finishes the damn pastry. his ideal partner is someone mature and understanding who can take care of him well. definitely likes the homemaker type.
gagamaru is the seeing friend in your relationship. no matter how many trips he makes to the optometrist, he will always come back with perfect 20/20 vision. definitely a nature enthusiast, and he loves hiking. even if you're blind as a bat, he will always be there to hold your hand in the dark.

Sentient House
Tumblr media
Rain lashed against the bookstore window, the rhythmic drumming a familiar comfort amidst the harsh hum of the fluorescent lights. Sarah browsed the fantasy novels, the worn spines whispering promises of escape for a few precious moments. Alex, perched precariously on a rickety ladder, scanned the science fiction section, his brow furrowed in concentration.
"Mom," Alex piped up, his voice barely a whisper. "Do you think there are houses with thoughts and emotions in other universes?"
Sarah, her heart heavy with the day's worries, forced a smile. His question held a vulnerability she knew all too well. Alex, a brilliant mind trapped in a world of inflexible routines and overwhelming social interactions, found solace in fantastical tales. It was a world Sarah understood intimately, both as his mom and an autistic woman struggling to navigate a society built for the neurotypical.
Finding resources for herself, let alone Alex, was a constant battle. The local autism support group folded months ago, and government assistance remained a bureaucratic labyrinth that seemed designed to wear you down. The weight of caring for Alex and her aging parents, both on the spectrum and struggling with their own challenges, pressed down on Sarah.
She knelt beside Alex, her touch the only comfort she could offer. "Maybe not sentient houses," Sarah said, her voice raspy from exhaustion, "but maybe other universes have things we can't even imagine." It wasn't much, but it was all she had to offer right now.
The bookstore offered a temporary refuge, but reality awaited outside. Their small apartment, now shared with her aging parents, reflected the constant struggle to stay afloat. Sarah knew the challenges wouldn't disappear. There would be sleepless nights and mounting bills. But for a little while, in that cozy bookstore filled with fantastical tales, Sarah held onto the hope that they could face it together, one whispered secret from a fictional talking house to Alex, and one shared glance with her son that spoke volumes, at a time.
As they left the bookstore, the rain had slowed to a gentle drizzle, matching the somber mood that hung over Sarah like a heavy shroud. With each step towards home, the weight of their reality pressed down upon her, threatening to crush her spirit beneath its burdens.
By the time Sarah unlocked the door, exhaustion completely flooded her. The elders' usual routines had become erratic, anxieties amplified. Cracked utensils they refused to let go of were stacked and stashed everywhere. Lopsided drawers were rattled repeatedly after each instance of usage. Stepping into their cramped, cluttered space felt like a physical manifestation of Sarah's deepest fear – losing control.
A flicker of defiance sparked in her eyes this time, however. Why should sentient houses not be a reality? Rolling up her sleeves, Sarah set about creating a calming environment without breaking the bank. Together with Alex, she repurposed an old lamp with a dimmer switch for a softer glow, fashioned weighted blankets from old clothes, concocted calming scents made from essential oil samples and programmed a nature documentary to play softly on the TV as a soothing visual lullaby.
It wasn't perfect, but it was a start. As Sarah sat down with her parents and son for a simple dinner of leftovers, a sense of quiet strength washed over her. They were a family bound by neurodiversity, yes, but also by a fierce determination to create their own sanctuary within the constraints of their reality, come rain or shine. The challenges wouldn't disappear, but with the unmasked love from her son and her own ingenuity, Sarah knew they would face them together, one repurposed lamp and shared memory at a time.

Gentle Guide to Navigating NaNoWriMo
It's that time of year when the leaves are a symphony of crimson and gold, and our hearts are ablaze with the daunting yet thrilling prospect of National Novel Writing Month. Whether you're a seasoned novelist or a first-time writer, the journey of crafting 50,000 words in a month is nothing short of epic.
But before you dive into the sea of storytelling, here are some quick, gentle tips to keep your creativity blooming and your spirits buoyed through the highs and lows of NaNoWriMo:
🌱 Embrace Imperfection: Your first draft is the clay, not the sculpture. Allow it to be wild, untamed, and imperfect. Remember, you can't edit a blank page, but you can always polish a rough draft.
🌻 Set Small Daily Goals: Instead of the daunting 1,667 words a day, break it down further. Write in sprints—15 minutes here, a half-hour there. It's like gathering drops of rain; eventually, you'll fill a bucket.
🍂 Cultivate a Writing Ritual: Light a scented candle, play some ambient sounds, or sip your favorite tea. Anchor your writing time with something comforting—it can make all the difference.
✨ Stay Connected: Join NaNoWriMo forums, follow writing hashtags on Tumblr, or team up with a buddy. Sharing the journey makes the load feel lighter and the experience richer.
📚 Feed Your Creativity: Your brain is an idea factory, and like any factory, it needs raw materials. Read a poem, watch a quirky short film, or take a nature walk. Inspiration is everywhere.
💤 Rest is Productive: Never underestimate the power of a good night's sleep, a cozy nap, or simply lying down with your eyes closed for ten minutes. Rest rejuvenates your creative energies.
💬 Use Dialogue to Push Through: If you're stuck, jump ahead and write a conversation between your characters. It's a great way to learn about them and can often lead you out of a corner.
🎈 Celebrate Small Wins: Every word you write is a victory. Celebrate milestones, whether it's hitting a word count or nailing a tricky dialogue. Dance it out, post about it, eat some chocolate—whatever brings you joy!
🔮 Stay Flexible: Your plot may change, your characters may surprise you, and that's okay. Writing is a journey of discovery, not just a destination.
🧘 Breathe: Whenever it feels overwhelming, take deep breaths. Remind yourself why you're doing this—it's for the love of storytelling, for the characters speaking to you, for the worlds only you can build.
Remember, NaNoWriMo is a marathon, not a sprint. It's okay to pause, to breathe, to reflect. The pages you fill this November hold the whispers of something incredible, a story only you can tell.

Rain Season
Tumblr media
Tw. Sex, a lot of fluff, domestic, porn with plot
Aizawa Shouta x Reader
Requested by: Anonymous
Anonymous: I would like to request an Aizawaxfem reader, where she is a pilot but decides to transfer to an office job for him, also, please do is very domestic, like... he had an awful day and is very grumpy, but she takes care of him, and then he takes care of her ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) if you  know what I mean.
I hope you liked it!!! This was my first time doing a request!!!
+3.9k words
I didn't made the second check to see if I have anything wrong with the writting, sorry
...
"Fucking rain season" said Eraserhead while getting inside his home, soaked from head to toe, he saw your heels on the entrance hall and frowned at it, he just wanted to be alone right now.
You heard him going inside your house and by the sound of his wet boots his mood was just as bad as the weather.
Chuckle to yourself as you keep preparing the bathtub.
Shouta's footsteps were light, but you always had a good hearing, and that helped to not letting him scare the shit out of you.
"I know that you are there love" you raise to your feet and look at him with a smile, but turns into a giggle seeing him all wet.
"Why are you here?" his rude tone would set anyone off, but you knew he was just being grumpy.
"I can't fly with this rain, it's too dangerous for me and the passengers so~" you go to him and brush his bangs away to let you see all of his beautiful face.
His eyes glare at you, he didn't want to get his hopes too high, Shouta knew that having a relationship with a pilot wouldn't be easy, and the little bit of time you two had together was heaven but always too short.
So any time that you had a day off he wouldn't ask for more time, but fuck he missed his girlfriend, he didn't even know how he was so lucky to fetch such a catch, but you would always respond with 'the bait was just too good to let it pass'
Even so, even if he tried to not get his hopes up, maybe... just maybe you would stay for a bit longer than usual...
You kissed his cheek and petted his drenched hair "I also got a promotion!"
Shouta frowned at that "so why don't you go celebrate with your friends?" He pushes you away and started to strip.
Huffing, you help him against his wishes "How barbaric! Didn't even let me finish!" You hold his hands stopping him from taking his pants off "I got a promotion for..." you clap twice "AN OFFICE JOB!" And make jazz hands on the end.
He looks at you astonished "An office job!? You hate working on a desk, and you also hate doing the same things every day! That's why you love being a pilot!" He says angrily, everything was making him angry right now, even your voice, one of, if not the most thing, he likes about you.
You sigh "Yes but... I already traveled to most of the countries in the world, I saw so much but..." you blush and evade his eyes
Aizawa gets closer to you, making both chests almost touch "But?"
"But... every time I saw something new I would think of you... and how you would like this, or how you would smile eating that, I'm feeling more and more homesick with each trip so... I asked to be transferred..."
He just... looks at you, which makes you blush more each minute that passes "I-I was thinking... that I could... maybe... move in, since it's so close to the airport from here, and... I would be able to sleep and wake up with you by my side" your whole face is red.
Shouta smile and hugs you tightly, "Why are you even asking? I gave you the keys in hope that you would move in"
You smiled and hugged him back, but his skin was too damn cold! You felt like you were hugging an ice cube!
The sweet moment was interrupted by him sneezing, "OMG! Bathtub! Now!" You pull him to the tub and help him to take off his clothes
"What about you? You just got here, right?" He asked while stepping out of his pants and boxer.
"I will take a shower, you can take your time and relax" you kiss his shoulder (because it's the highest place you can reach without him bending)
Shouta nods and gets inside the bathtub, smelling a woodsy scent, the water was also a little green "what did you put in here?"
You take off your clothes "It's a new bathwater, it helps relax the body and all that shit" you take a hair tie and ties Aizawa's hair in a cute messy bun "today we will take care of you, okay?" finally being able to kiss his cheek you smile nodding to yourself and goes to take a shower.
He watches you for some time and then relax on the bathtub, now that he's calm and relaxed he can faintly hear the sound of the rain outside, the strong bathroom lights were annoying him by not letting him relax "can you please turn off the lights?"
You stop for a minute and get out of the shower, doing what he asked, but lighting a few candles first "better?"
"Uhum..." he sighs and close his eyes
"I will keep on watch, don't worry, you can take a nap" you dry yourself and take the stool you normally used to shave and sit on it while on Aizawa's side
He just mumbles something and start to snore lightly.
You smile at the scene, he was always a sweetheart with you, putting you first, even if you had to cancel a lot more plans than he had because of work, the day you two meet was while he was working, and you were on your way to your flight, it was out of a novel type of meeting.
________________
It was supposed to be a normal Friday, you were going on your vacation, and decided to walk to the airport, you decided that it was the only type of exercise you would do on your vacation, since you were going to eat a lot of everything no matter the place.
But while calmly walking and admiring the orange sky, some guys passed running way too close to you, the last one actually picked you up and started caring you!!!
"HELP!" you shouted and started struggling trying to get the man to release you, to no avail
"Calm down princess, we just want the cops to not shoot"
"YOU SHUT UP!" you screamed and punched his throat making him stumble and drop you on the ground.
You landed in a bad way over your arm, you heard something crack, but the adrenaline pumping in your veins made it impossible to feel any pain.
You heard footsteps coming to you and see that a pro was following them, one of the guys grabs you and point a knife to your neck.
"Stop or I'll slice her throat!" The pro stops a few meter away and glares at the villain.
The villain rise you to your feet and gives a maniac laugh "poor hero! I know that you won't forget her face after this-"
Since you had both arms free, and had a brain, you decided to not let him kill you, so as logically as anyone would think, you decided to grab his balls and squeeze them as strongly as you could, and sadly for him, you were really angry.
The villain releases you and falls to his knees, you take the opportunity to run to the pro.
The dark haired hero put quirk canceling handcuffs on both of them, he looks back at you and makes sign to get you closer, you do as told and, and he put his hand on your right arm, you scream at that and holds your arms close to your chest "FUCK!"
He nods to himself "the police and ambulance are already on their way, you shouldn't have done that, what would happen if he had cut your throat in impulse?"
"Then I would die" you look at him with a poker face "so what? Now I will have to get a license and won't be able to work for the next 3 months, GREAT!" you groan frustrated and glare at your own arm.
"You almost died and care more about your job?" He asks confused.
"Not exactly, I just got my vacation, and now I have to postpone for a few days, just so I can get used to the cast, this suck" you sigh and let your head fall forward.
"You just need to ask for your friend's help, why would that be difficult?" He looks back at the handcuffed villains and then looks the siren noise finally starts to be heard.
"I don't have friends" you say and look up at him "so again, it will be difficult to do things with a cast"
You two were silenced by the ambulance and the police car arriving almost at the same time, you were checked and told that you would go to the hospital, but before they closed the door the hero came back into view.
"You said you don't have friends so... would you like my help?"
______________
Since then, you both had so much fun together, you started to pass more and more time with each other.
Until you asked him out on a date, and here you are, watching him on the bathtub taking a nap.
You smile at the scene and goes next to him, and start giving butterfly kisses all over his face to wake him up.
Aizawa wakes up and looks at you sleepy, you smile at his cute face "the water must be getting cold, come on, I already ordered food from your favorite restaurant" you help him up and dry him when he steps out of the bathtub, giving small kisses all over.
"You don't need to do this... I'm actually quite against this..." you chuckle and shake your head
"You work hard every day and night, always finds time to go watch a movie that I want, or go to a place that I like, you stay at school until late to help your students, or to help Yamada with paperwork, you are also thinking about getting the temporary guard of that little girl Eri" you put his towel around his waist and ties it there "It's my time to help you" you kiss his shoulder "and take care of the man I adore"
He nodded, permitting your plans to pamper the shit out of him.
You take a hold of his hand and brings him to the bedroom, where there were some candles and light blue rose petals, some relaxing song was playing, and the few scented candles were weak and just enough to help him relax.
"You got my favorite ones... " he looks at the light blue petals and gives a sad smile "thank you..."
You know that he is thanking for the flower, since the color always reminds him of his late friend, but when you two talk about it, you never ask about the accident, and just ask about everything else about him and their time together, so to Shouta when you show or talk about his late friend only good memories surge, and not the dreadful one, which he is quite thankful for.
"You're welcome, now lay down on the bed, stomach down and ass up" he looks at you suspiciously "I won't play with your ass today, don't worry, I will give you a massage"
He sits on the bed "since when do you know how to make these?"
You huff and put on one of his shirts "I took classes, so that I could help you de-stress, now lay down and let me help you"
He sighs thinking how this is a terrible idea, but smiles and comply at the end 'she learned something just to help me...'
You start on his feet, massaging with care a trying to remember what he told you on the classes.
Aizawa closed his eyes and thought about the time before this relationship, he would probably have taken a quick shower, ate some leftovers and slept the rest of the time, then woke up and go to work.
Having you is a luxury he wants to have every day.
Shouta knows that it's selfish of him to think like that, but you are so good to him, always has been.
When he was tired it seemed like you had a sixth sense to know, you would tell him to lay his head on your lap and would pet his hair while talking about your day with a sweet a low toned voice, he would always wake up on the bed, you said that you woke him up and brought him to the room, but he doesn't remember waking up at all.
Your hair was beautiful, your eyes gorgeous, your nose cute, the way you tilt your head before asking a question, the little mole you have on your eyelid, that can only be seen when your eyes are closed.
He really adores you.
The massage is so fucking good, you said you took a few classes??? He doesn't believe you.
Your hands go gradually up to his legs, then his lower back, his upper back, and you finish on his neck, when you had finished the feet he was already napping.
You hoped that the massage was good and that it would help him, you were going to wake him, but your phone buzzed signaling that your food was here.
You get up, pick the phone up and go to the door where you greet the delivery guy.
"Having a good night?" You ask while hiding half of your body behind the door
"Yes ma'am! Here's your order" he gives you your package which you quickly put on the table and return with your cellphone showing the qr code
"Here, have a great end of day" he smiles back at you and goes away.
You lock the door and put the table for the two of you.
...
Shouta wakes up feeling extremely relaxed, but something was missing, he looks around and see that the candles were off, only the scented one was light 'smart girl' he smiles at the thought of you, and notices how his body is super light.
He gets up and adjust the towel around his waist, his mood is a lot better now, but while hungry his facial expression still was an angry glare, he looked at his reflection in the mirror and frowns, you always had a carefree and relaxed expression, and he was starting to get aging lines, were you really only 5 years younger?
He sighs and opens the door not bothering to put on clothes, he sees you putting the table up and sees the package for his favorite sushi place and frowns.
You look back at him and smile "I was about to wake you up"
Aizawa gets closer to you "You shouldn't have done that, my favorite restaurant is too expensive to order if it isn't an especial occasion"
You shake your head "We are celebrating my promotion, also I got a fat bonus~" you sit and point serves you both some wine.
"Let's celebrate and relax" you start eating happy for the high quality product.
...
After eating you washed the dishes against Shouta's wish, but he did put the plates away.
"So... is there anything else you wanted to do?" You look at your boyfriend and see his relaxed body and face, much better than the angry wet cat that had arrived earlier.
He steps closer to you and looks into your eyes "I want to do you"
You blush heavily "this isn't about me today..." you pout
He shakes his head "I love when I see your facial expressions, and your voice screaming my name is my favorite song, now please... let me hear you sing" he holds your face with both hands and give you a peck on the lips.
You nod and close your eyes, going with the flow.
His pecks turn into kisses, that he cover your face with it, very slowly "my beautiful. Kind. Sweet. And caring girlfriend. Taking such a good care of me. You think that I didn't notice how the house is cleaner than when I left?" His kisses start to go lower to your throat "always so caring... you also need to de-stress a little. Let me help you" his hand start to travel down thru your body.
You sigh from how kind he is being, normally he would kneel and eat you out like he was a starved man, then he would proceed to fuck your brains out on the dinner table, but right now he wasn't stressed from work, or angry about the villains attacking even in this bad weather.
You should do this more often...
"Stop spacing out and focus on me" he bites your earlobe, and you gasp focussing on him, you only now notice his hands on your thigh and on your breasts under the shirt, he gave both a little squeeze which made you whimper and tremble under his hands.
"S-sorry..." he kissed your collarbone and bite your neck
"Let's go to our bed, it's been some time since we used it for something that isn't sleeping" you felt a shiver going all over your body from how low his voice got.
"Y-yeah! Let's do that!" You turn around to go to the bedroom, but he stops you by picking you up, you hug his neck and blush heavily again "hey! You surprised me!"
"Good, that was the intention" as he walks to the bedroom you hear something falling, when you look behind him, you see that he dropped the towel, and now you have a perfect place to see his butt.
"Why is your ass better than mine?" You pout and notice that you are now on the bedroom
"If you exercise more you would also have a nice and firm ass like mine, but I do prefer pudding"
"Pudding?" He lays you down on the bed with your back to the ceiling and stomach to the bed.
Shouta give your ass a bite, and you laugh "oh! Pudding! Now I get it"
He chuckles and kiss where he had bitten "mine..." he says in a sweet voice and hugs your waist for some time.
Then he raises and turn you around, now facing him "would you allow me to make love with you?"
You blush and smile, caressing his face "of course" you take the opportunity to untie his hair, that had been tied since the bath 'next time I will wash his hair'
Shouta smiles and kiss you slow and passionately.
This was different from normal, and so good, so sweet, you feel his hands going down again and opening your legs.
His fingers caressed your entrance, he broke the kiss and brought his fingers to his face "so wet for me already, how kind of you" his fingers go down again but this time he makes circling movements on your clit.
You sigh from the stimulation and pull his face close to you again "please, I want more Shouta" you open your mouth begging for more kisses.
He complies and kiss you passionately again, his second hand come up and fondle with your breast, sometimes pinching your nipple.
Everything he did was so slow that you felt like drowning in him, his taste, his scent, his skin touching yours, you were drowning in him and him in you.
After 2 years of relationship you two knew what the other liked or needed, and this was something new, that both needed this very much and neither knew.
His fingers went inside you slowly and curved slightly, then he moved it at the same pace as before, slow enough to tease but fast enough to stimulate.
You part the kiss again "more... please! More!" You move your hips to feel more and put your hand over his that was on your breast and squeeze it asking for more pressure.
"Such a nice way to beg... do you think you can take it? I want to feel you around me"
You knew that you needed more preparation, since Shouta was the biggest you ever had, and he stretched you to your limit every time, you remember that the first time you two had the sensation was the same as losing your virginity, but he asked so nicely... and by the looks of it he will be very loving, so you nod in confirmation.
He smiles at you and lined himself on your entrance.
Now that you think about it, it looks like he was hard for some time now, the purplish head and the pulsating vein make it obvious that he has been holding himself back.
"My eyes are up here~" he mocks, and you look at him, like... you really look at him, and you decide to drop the bomb.
The L bomb hadn't been dropped by neither of you, even after 2 years, both afraid of the other leaving after they got attached, but... you were already attached, and he has such a dangerous job, you never know what will happen, so you decide to let it be known.
"Aizawa Shouta... I love you"
He looked astonished at you and gave you a wobbly smile "I love you too" as he said that he penetrated into you and gave you a deep kiss with a lot of tongue to distract you from the discomfort.
Aizawa keep pushing until all of him was inside, he part the kiss and sighs relieved "you are always what I need to make a shitty day much better"
You shudder from his deep voice and put your hands on his shoulder "I'm glad that I can put your mind at ease in though days" you kiss his nose and he smiles back at you.
He gives a small trust, and you respond with a small moan, encouraging him.
Shouta gives slow and shallow trusts, letting you get comfortable.
You lick your lips and wiggle your hips trying to get more of him in "please move! Your going too slow!" He chuckles and bites your neck
"I had totally forgotten this" he takes your shirt off "there, all mine " he said in a sweet tone and hugged you close, letting both chest press against each other.
Shouta starts moving faster, and the way his body squeezed you was suffocating in a good way, you start scratching him as soon as he's hips start clapping against yours, the pressure on your belly.
'So close' the position had his cock rubbing against your favorite spot deliciously you were taking short breaths with your eyes glossy from pleasure.
But the feeling of you around him, your nails on his back and your small moans and whimpers, everything about you was intoxicating, Shouta bites your necks, then your shoulder, and start to bite you all over leaving marks on you "mine..." he said again and started pounding on you.
It was so sudden that you couldn't hold back a high pitched moan followed by a whimper "Shouta!"
He bites your nipple and suck it while fucking you, holding your body against him by the hips.
Shouta was going to be kind and have a slow and sweet sex with you, but the way you drive him crazy with so little, he wants to ravish you, but decides against it.
One of his hands go to your clit and rub circles on it making your body tremble, and you arch your back wanting more "Shouta!"
His thrusts got sloppier, now going faster "close... so close" he laid his head on your shoulder.
The feeling of his dick kissing you womb hurt in a good way, the way he knew you loved "close!"
You came first, creaming on his dick while arching your back, his thrusts got sloppier he bites your shoulder and grunts while coming on your stomach.
He sits up and looks down at you, and your stomach covered in cum and your fucked out face with pride.

Tumblr media
A pair of summery blue orbs insistently stare at the world beyond the glass windows.
A world that was now being washed by the consistent droplets that came down from the adobe of clouds to meet their origin.
Their drum was usually henotic, tranquil for him.
But at the moment, it only added to his irritation and deepened the void of disappointment that had formed in his chest.
In another room of the same house, a pair of amber orbs watched the magic of nature with a child-like wonder.
The pleasant, dewy petrichor spread around her, and the mellifluous tunes of Earth's own orchestra made her forget the fast turns her life went through in the past day.
In the faint light, she picked up her hand and let the jewel, the stone that was nothing less than a promise of forever, shine like the billion stars that dot the sky at nights that are devoid of clouds.
As the iridescent lights make her eyes sparkle, a vague idea forms in her brain.
Her thoughts float to reach the person who gifted her happiness, and a smile lit up on her face.
There was a mix of challenge and love in the quest she was about to partake and she was determined to succeed.
In slow, soundless steps, she made her way out of the room and out of the house.
A blur went past and his trained eyes were quick enough to catch the motion.
Shaking his head with realization, he followed behind.
As the steps took him down, and he stood under the shade of the multi-floored skyrise, she stayed yards away from it.
Her hair was wet, her skirt twirling, her face bright and beautiful.
He felt his heart race, whispering an urge to join with hers.
He restrained himself, but the scene in front of him was so spectacular that he doubted just how long his restraint would last.
After what felt like an eternity, she turned to him, half of her face golden under the street lights, the other half bearing the monotones of black and white.
She looked like the personification of their love.
Her life the golden, and his the black and white.
He could write sonnets to describe the picture-perfect scene that played before him like a film, but all he did was stand still, unable to tear his eyes away, unable to speak the words that hadn't already been spoken, his well-thumbed thesaurus gathering dust in the labyrinths of his mind.
She looked at him with a longing, a spoken call for him to join her as the rains continued to fall and purify the earth.
All he did was shake his head in silence.
She took it as a challenge, and he already knew how it was going to end.
For a minute he got lost in her memories, reminiscences from a time, from a moment that passed too quick, yet slow enough for him to remember every moment of it.
And suddenly, the faint tunes of a song brought him back to the present.
Every word of the foreign seeming language lucid clear, setting in a cascade of emotions and bringing pictures etched in past pages of the novel of life, making him go on a trip down the memory lane.
Aajkal Yad Kuch Aur Rehta Nahi
(Nowadays I don't seem to remember anything else)
Ek Bas Aapki Yad Aane Ke Bad
(Once your memories enchant me)
Yaad Aane Se Pehle Chale Aaiye
(Please come to me before the memories reach me)
Aur Phir Jaiye Jan Jane Ke Bad
(And then leave only after my breath leaves me)
The truth of the words came with an epiphany.
Every day of knowing her had been a way of painting the monotones of his life in colours he thought didn't belong to him.
Every moment she had ever spent away from him had made him yearn for her more than ever.
And yet he was foolish enough to think that miles of distance and hundreds of hours could make him forget her.
All the distress he felt could have been so easily ended if she had been with him then.
And now, as he dreams of an aeon with her, he promises to only let her go when his breath leaves him alone.
Apni Aankhon Me Mujhko Basa Lijiye
(Allow me to settle in the world of your eyes)
Apne Dil Me Mera Ghar Bana Dijiye
(Make a home for me in your heart)
Kya Karu Dil Kahi Aur Lagta Nahi
Pyar Me Aapse Dil Lagane Ke Bad
(What's the fault of mine if I can't concentrate on anything other than you, since our hearts connected by the string of love)
As the minutes pass by, melting into each other to form an hour, he loses all tracks of time.
And amidst the sweven he was living in right now, at a moment he could not pinpoint, she had taken his hand into hers and now he stood, lost in the amber of her eyes, forgetting all about the shower that now fell upon him.
As she continued to mutter the tunes in a harmony that went on in rhythm with the rain, he wished he could live in the world of her orbs.
To see the world as she saw it, to live the life from her perspective.
All he wanted was home in her heart, a tiny place on the lands of her soul.
Ishq Ke Maine Kitne Fasane Sune
(I have heard many tales of epic romances)
Husb Ke Kitne Kisse Purane Sune
(And stories about beautiful people from bygone eras)
Aisa Lagta Hai Phir Is Tarah Tut Kar
Pyar Hamne Kiya Ek Zamane Ke Bad
(But I feel I have been broken and got mended by love after centuries)
In muted harmonies, the two of them twirled, forgetting the world around them.
The way their eyes held onto each other, as if holding onto their lives, reminded him of the tales of love the folklores talk about.
The romances of princesses and maidens, and of beauties who earned their fairytale.
But as her palm stroked his cheek in a feather-light motion, he concluded that all those tales faint in front of the story of theirs.
There were no royals, no cruel witches setting up spells and no poisoned apples.
There were just two people, broken by the storms life made them navigate through, fitting perfectly as if parts of a whole.
He tried to remember if he had ever experienced anything as he did now, his lip tracing her ear as his hands wrapped around her waist.
It didn't even take him a second to know the answer.
He hadn't.
Aapka Naam Dil Se Nikalta Nahi
(Your name never leaves my heart)
Dillagi Me Koi Zor Chalta Nahi
Dillagi Me Koi Zor Chalta Nahi
(No force is strong enough to stop the meet of two hearts)
Aapko Bhul Jane Ki Koshish Bhi Ki
(I tried a hundred times to forget you)
Aur Tadpa Hun Main Bhool Jaane Ke Baad
(And suffered a suffering of pain and agony once I forgot you)
The rains accelerate and become a downpour. The mist envelops them but there was no care for the changing environment.
The distance between them ceases to exist as their hearts finally get the pleasure of beating in unison.
In the next moments, she whispers close to his ear, the last of the melody, and it's his story.
The story of how he couldn't get rid of the five-lettered name since the first time he ever came to know about it.
Of how no force in the world could stop two hearts from meeting if that's what destiny had in plan for them.
Who one loves and who loves them back determines so much in one life.
And for him, it was a chance, a risk he was scared to take, dreading the destruction it may cause.
After all when had anything ever-blossoming flowers in the city of his soul?
But this time not only did spring finally arrived with its flowery footsteps but also led to a discovery of himself, a part of him that was buried under layers of snow from the winter that reigned in his life for years.
She taps twice on his heart, indicating how he had tried to forget her, all those years ago. And how he broke himself in the process.
As she hummed the last lines, he bowed down in front of the forces that brought the two of them together.
He thanked the stars which aligned the way did to let him fall for her and agreed to hide, to let the rains fall, to let him have this night with her.
And looked in awe at the woman who brought about the sweetest catastrophe mankind has ever known.
And without uttering a word, he picks her and kisses her, saying all that was left unsaid with it.
Tumblr media
PS: I actually have another version of the song, that I sung specifically to go with this, but Tumblr is giving me troubles to upload it. Do let me know if you would like to hear it someday.
Anyways, If you are reading this, I am very grateful for you. Thank you for reading and I hope you have a great day🤎

So just out of curiosity, what inspired the whole Beacon Bay idea? What kind of sharks and dolphins are they? This entire thing is very intriguing to me and I can't wait to see more.
So first off, anyone who’s ever played soundingboard to my original stuff like Moukie or Adam can attest to the fact that I’m ocean obsessed, so there’s pretty much nothing I’m interested in that isn’t a mere two or three steps removed from an ocean/merfolk/sea witch AU in my head. Gimme anything and like, five minutes, and I can make it ocean themed. Space operas included. I grew up near the ocean, been surfing for ages though of course I haven’t in years, blah, but like. I’m a big fan of the deep blue sea. Its just....neat. ghaskfhalkfhla
So I’ve always had a bunch of ocean-set concepts. This particular AU came about from like, smashing a couple of them together to preserve them when my plans for doing original stuff with them fizzled out, at least for the time being. Cuz the other thing about me is the way some people like, take their fanfic and file off the serial numbers to turn it into original novels, I more often do the reverse, lmao. When I have something I can no longer do something with original-content-wise, for whatever reason, but I still like the idea, I turn it into fanfic so I can still play around with it whenever I want and like, have purpose to that, so I don’t feel like I’m wasting time by still ‘indulging’ in that concept or whatever.
Like my Batfandom fic By Lost Ways, as I’ve mentioned before....that actually started out as an original high fantasy novel set in my ‘Tales of the Citadel’ shared universe. BUT the setting ended up being similar enough to a sci-fi project I wanted I to move forward with, ‘Waveriders’ (the one with the sky pirates and the ATLA-style benders only instead of evoking the four classical elements, waveriders could each ‘hack’ a different kind of wavelength, that one) like....basically, the projects FELT similar enough in setting and various superficial elements that I started to feel derivative of myself moving forward with both, so I picked Waveriders and then recycled the setting and a lot of the plot of the sky-set fantasy novel for fanfic, just for fun.
Same thing here, though Beacon Bay is basically the mash-up of two different shelved original projects. Basically, its the plot of a CW-style show about teen sirens and the sea witch making like the Fagin to their Oliver Twists, from a pilot I wrote years ago.....it got some interest but I refused to make it less gay because lol have you met me, so it ultimately never went anywhere but I still liked the plot. 
And then remember the werewolf books I mentioned awhile back, that had the mongoose shifters in them? LOL. Yeah, so I’d written two and a half novels in that series and had this whole expansive worldbuilding of twelve different shifter clans each with their own innate magic, patron deity/creator, etc, but all my agent and editor contacts at the time were like yeah sorry, shifters are over for now, and I was like wow, can’t believe cancel culture’s real and publishing cancelled werewolves, wtf, rude, and then I was like eh, still wanna play in this universe especially with the dolphins and shark shifters which I never even really got to in those books, so I’m just gonna air-lift them out of that and drop them smack in the middle of my CW siren plot and fanfic away to my heart’s content and call that ‘being productive’ when I feel like it.
Anyway, found family was a big theme of those books and the world-building I did there in general, because again, have you met me, I’m not predictable or anything (shhh, the word is consistent), and one of my initial things there was I wanted the various shifter types to all have innate magic, because for literally no real reason that I can discern other than Whimsy, I have always been Team Werewolf in vampires vs werewolves, and I was tired of werewolves always being by default the underdogs in those narratives. Even if that does make for a good pun.
SO, I wanted to come up with werewolf magic that felt natural and organic to werewolves, like nothing too flashy or obscure, but that would make them a legitimate threat even to other supernatural creatures. And I made it so each of the shifter types were granted an active and a passive magic by the god that created their type of shifter, and with werewolves, their active magic was that of the pack gestalt. I took the idea of ‘their whole is greater than the sum of their parts’ that TW kinda briefly touched on when presenting (but never really doing much with) the idea that the more wolves in a pack, the stronger that pack was.....and I decided okay what if being part of a pack upped stats all across the board AND all shifters have a SLIGHT innate resistance to magic, being innately magical beings themselves? 
So a werewolf pack, with enough pack members, would thus not only be formidable in strength, speed, senses and speed of healing....but compound that innate shifter resistance to magic, which in a single shifter is negligible, like, just enough to make them slightly harder to track with magic or curse or whatever.....but in a whole werewolf pack, that adds up to make the pack effectively immune to foreign magic. Vampires can’t compel them, demons can’t possess them, witches can’t curse them, etc. So a lone werewolf, not part of a pack, is formidable, but nothing another supernatural being can’t take on. But a lone werewolf who IS part of a pack....different story entirely, because now most other supernatural beings, no matter what their USUAL strengths, are reduced to taking on that werewolf hand to hand, as their own supernatural gifts or spells or whatever, like, aren’t gonna do them any good against these particular foes. And werewolves are USED to fighting with just brute physical strength and attributes, which gives them the edge against opponents who are more used to being able to fall back on magic in battle.
But as much as I like sticking to a theme, I like to diversify that theme where possible, so when it came to the other shifter types, I wanted to similarly come up with ways where ‘the whole would be greater than the sum of their parts’ but in like, entirely different ways.
So with dolphin shifters, their ‘passive magic’ (in quotes cuz that’s not quite the right word for it but whatever) is that they’re all empaths, with their more active magic being weather manipulation. Their empathy is a two-way street....they project emotions as well as just feel other peoples’, which ties into the fact that their patron deity was Dionysus. Dolphin parties....legendary. But in an extremely wild, dangerous and Bacchanalian kinda way. In terms of Beacon Bay specifically, this is a bit of a problem for the BB dolphins, as the closest thing they had to an official Triton (the dolphin shifter version of an Alpha) was Peter, but they were like nope, not loving this guy, and kinda drove him out of town in the AU S1 backstory of this ‘verse, which means Scott and the others are kinda just making it up as they go along, and don’t really know the ins and outs of BEING dolphin shifters. (Derek is....elsewhere, in this. Mostly). 
So bottom line is they have reputations around school for being loud obnoxious goofs and trouble-makers, constantly playing hooky and such, but its because they don’t really know HOW to safeguard against spilling their emotions onto everyone around them so they try and err on the side of being the life of the party whenever possible, as that’s better than the alternatives in their opinion. And when they’re just having bad days and bumming hard, the whole pod will just skip school and glomp around the bumming pod member whilst self-caring, rather than like, accidentally bum out the entire school.
But their weather manipulation magic is where the gestalt idea comes into play with them, as I love weather manipulating powers, but I didn’t want to make them all Ororo Munroe, y’know? Only Ororo Munroe can be Ororo Munroe. Don’t make me scoff. I’ll do it. I’ll scoff so hard. SO I went with the idea of weather control married to manipulating storms via song and was like, okay what if a dolphin pod is like, a symphony of shifters. 
Basically, its like each individual dolphin shifter is a single voice in a chorus, and there’s magical equivalents of being a baritone, an alto, etc. Like, none of them can whip up a storm on their own. Its more that each of them can summon or conjure a PIECE of a storm with their song, with it being different for each of them....symptomatic of their magic as an expression of them as an individual. So for instance, Scott’s song is ‘tuned’ to lightning. He can call down a bolt of lightning from a clear blue sky.....but he can’t summon so much as a drop of rain to save his life. Literally. Its an actual plot point at one point. Whereas Isaac’s song is all about calling down rain, Boyd’s is more of an arctic wind, and Erica’s kinda summons a pressure front that in harmony with the two of theirs can whip up a mean waterspout. And then Corey’s all about conjuring fog banks with low visibility while Liam can whistle up a strong, gale-force wind but sucks at using his song as a precision instrument. Etc, etc. But the real magic is when they all use their voices and magic in concert....as a group, they can summon huge magical thunderstorms.
Also, one thing I love about using different kinds of shifters is the opportunity to explore enhanced supernatural senses that aren’t just keen sight, smell or hearing. So the dolphin shifters aren’t like wolf shifters in being able to detect chemosignals or anything like that....in fact, their sense of smell isn’t much different from anyone else’s. But they do have an ability to use what’s effectively supernatural echolocation even above water, and their sight is adapted for optimal viewing underwater, making them particularly good at seeing in the darkness even on land. 
(Also, related but somewhat tangential to both the shifter senses and dolphin ‘voices’....all dolphin shifters have a strong talent for mimicry, but this isn’t technically a form of magic, more just a combination of their control over their voice and their keen senses of pitch, etc).
The shark shifters, on the other hand, have some of the keenest senses of all shifters. Not only is their sense of smell even better than a werewolf’s, they’re sensitive to changes in pressure, for one thing. Which means on land, they can even feel changes in atmospheric pressure.....so like, the shark shifters of Beacon Bay could be in math class and then ‘feel’ a sudden drop in air pressure and thus even before some strange weather phenomenon occurs, they’re groaning like ugh fucking A, what the hell did the damn dolphins do now.
Also, their magnetic field perception is such that they can kinda ‘sense’ when people are around, just by being aware of the approaching magnetic field of another living being.
And then with the sharks, I was looking for ways to lean into the associations we have with sharks and blood, but subvert them to be less macabre and more communal. And another big theme of mine in general is like, I am DETERMINED to go to my grave shouting at the top of my lungs “Its THE BLOOD OF THE COVENANT IS THICKER THAN THE WATER OF THE WOMB, NOT BLOOD IS THICKER THAN WATER, HOW DID PEOPLE GET THAT SO BACKWARDS ITS SUPPOSED TO BE THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF HOW ITS USUALLY STATED!”
Like, that’s just...HUGE pet peeve of mine. Its like nails on a chalkboard, lmfao, that drives me nuts. That phrase is usually cited by people using it to express like, the idea that there’s no greater force than family, specifically BIOLOGICAL, ‘blood’ relations, but its literally meant to be the exact opposite, that the blood of CHOSEN bonds, of covenants, of vows or promises, is a greater force than the water of the womb, ie being born of the same womb, as in biological siblings. The entire point of the phrase is biology ain’t shit, family is what we choose. And somehow it got turned ENTIRELY around.
(Note: Okay, so for the record, its not ‘somehow’, there’s actually a very clear reason for why that particular interpretation gained so much momentum, and that’s because for a long time it was conflated with an old German proverb from like a thousand years ago that basically translates to “kin-blood is not spoiled by water.” Which basically was meant to mean that nothing can ‘dilute’ blood relations, not time, not distance, not water. So that phrase DOES correspond to the idea that ‘blood is thicker than water.’ Problem is, there isn’t a direct trace from that particular proverb TO most USAGES of ‘blood is thicker than water,’ which when you throw in the OTHER phrase, which in its entirety is “the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb,” what you end up with is a lot of people SAYING that one when they actually MEAN to say ‘kin-blood is not spoiled by water’ and that’s where the meanings get switched. But I fucking digress. Per usual).
Anyway. So combine that particular pet peeve with my found family fixation AND the fact that this is about magic and magic means I can do whatever the hell I want, fuck your biological connections mwahahaha.....I decided to base shark magic on the idea of the blood-ties of family....but CHOSEN blood-ties, as in blood of the covenant ties.
What I mean is okay, so it first of all just made sense to me to have shark shifter communities be heavily focused around adoption, because like....let’s be real, shark shifters going around biting people to change them into shifters, and then people magically healing from....shark bites....was going to attract a lot more attention than people turning after being attacked by other types of shifters. Not to mention the fact that not only are shark attacks always big news, part of why they’re big news is because they’re actually pretty rare.
So, shark shifter communities were never really gonna propagate via lots of random shark shifter attacks turning people. So the way they DO expand and grow is by, well, family. Both biological AND adoption...as well as of course shark shifter communities taking in people who ARE attacked by rogue shark shifters, when that does happen. 
But bottom line is, there’s an additional element in play in shark shifter communities, beyond just the gene pool....and that’s like, a magical tidepool of talents, let’s call it. Because I do love me some alliteration. But also tidepool of talents is just a cool phrase, IMO.
Anyway, the main part of shark shifter magic, and how THEIR whole is greater than the sum of their parts, is that any shark shifter can draw upon or channel the talents, skillsets or knowledge of anyone else in their communal family. And whenever that family gets added to, the talents, skillsets and knowledge of the new addition gets added to the pot, so to speak. So shark shifters are kinda all like Rogue, if Rogue’s focus was less on the superpowers of other people and more on things like Beast’s scientific knowledge, Cyclops’ strategic skills or Cable’s weapons expertise.
And then their ‘passive magic’ is a form of psychometry whenever they come into contact with blood. By touching even just a drop of someone’s blood, they can get a vision of how that blood was spilled or even get a sense of where the person who spilled it is now.
As to the types of sharks and dolphins they all are, for that I went with the thing about the shape you take reflects the person you are.....all the shifters here are full shifters, and there’s no genetic component to their shifting, its purely magical, so like....just because Peter turned the various dolphins of BB doesn’t mean they all turn into the same kind of dolphin he was. In fact, I don’t even know what kind of dolphin he was on account of I don’t really care tbh, lol. Whereas Erica’s an Atlantic spotted dolphin, Liam’s a pygmy killer whale which looks like an orca just tiny in comparison and is actually a dolphin, and I found that combination of factors hilarious, etc, etc.
Same thing with the shark shifters. Even among biological relations, there’s a ton of variety of shark types. Like the twins aren’t even the same type...Ethan’s a blue shark and Aiden’s a bull shark, Tracy’s a tiger shark and Hayden’s an angel shark. Danny’s actually a throwback to an unnamed prehistoric shark, not Megalodon big but big enough to shut up Jackson when he goes on about being a great white shark. Shark and crocodile shifters are the two oldest shifter clans, old enough that literal dinosaurs fall under the umbrella of their shifter type, and thus occasionally show up even in modern generations.

Toxicity At It's Finest, Reader x Draco Malfoy
youtube
"I've been holdin' my breath, I've been countin' to ten, over somethin' you said..."
The weather is a mirror to the emotions swirling through the air.
Thunder shatters the silence, roaring just above the manor. Lightning splits the skies, the blue light flashing across both of your faces, seemingly accentuating the flaming anger of his clenched jaw and fiercely glaring ice blue eyes. Rain drops, big and heavy as hail, pounds the windows in earnest.
You can't believe what had spewed from his mouth, and the sting is worse than as if you've been slapped in the face. You take a deep, shuddering breath, and choose your next words carefully, as your voice breaks and you choke back a sob.
"... Alright,"
Now it's his turn to look as if he's been slapped. You don't miss the shock on his face, but you continue anyways, feeling as if it's for the best.
"I'll go."
You turn on your heels and run for the stairs, scared to stay a moment longer, lest he talk you out of it.
Though blinded by tears, you don't miss a single step, and you reach your shared bedroom without making any more of a fool out of yourself. The door slams shut behind you, and the sound echoes through the mansion, as if trying to voice your determination for you. Still, you finally let the tears flow freely and you scream out in devastation as you back against the door and slide down to the marble floors.
You had finally had enough. After twelve long years of staying by Draco's side through his ridiculous bi-polar emotional episodes and abuse, through his breakdowns from the abuse of his father, through his cheating on you with that disgusting pug Pansy Parkinson, through his suicidal pact with the Dark Lord, and almost dying for him in the Battle of Hogwarts, you had finally had enough.
"I've been holdin' back tears, while you're throwin' back beers and I'm alone in bed..."
These kind of fights were not uncommon while Draco drank back his pain and sorrow, but it used to end in the two of you coming together in the heat of the argument to say your apologies through some sort of carnal physical activity, since neither you nor Draco were ever ones to voice your feelings in the lovey-dovey chit-chat sort of ways. But for the past eighteen months, there had been no apologies at all, carnal or otherwise. Things had steadily been getting more and more aggressive and tense between the two of you, spiralling out of control as Draco drank more and more often. He often would try to find any reason to start and argument, almost as if trying to distance himself from you. You, on the other hand, had simply taken everything in stride for the first few months, knowing that one of the consequences of being committed to the Malfpy Heir was his rollercoaster of emotions and admittedly vindictive and toxic nature whenever he was caught in a downward slope.
But things were different this time. Days turned to weeks, weeks turned to months and no matter how often you tried to break through his wall and try to get him to open up to you again; to become the soft, sweet yet damaged boy that you knew was behind the façade, he wouldn't crack.
You had even tried to break through with seduction, as it was a last-resort that you had used more than once before. You had even donned his favorite lingerie; an emerald green and black sheer lace set with a black sheer lace kimono. You had cornered him while he was in his father's old study, hunched over some sort of paperwork with his hands stuffed into his silky, platinum hair. You had approached quietly, draping yourself over his shoulders and kissing his ear while you whispered a breathy,
"Draco, come play..."
into his ear.
And the bastard had the audacity to take one sideways glance at you and scoff, looking back to the papers and muttering something snide under his breath about having no time for games.
More and more layers of wall went up with every brick you had managed to scrape off in the past, and it had finally come to a peak.
"You know I, I'm afraid of change... Guess that's why, we stayed the same..."
Even the beginning of the fight had been strange. Usually the arguments you two had were over something real, something serious. Whether it be you, trying to help him break away from his carefully sculpted mask of anger and spite that had been constructed over the years and getting blind-sided with some vindictive comment by the character he had forged; or by said character being a few too many butterbeers in and trying to deconstruct you for something extremely irrelevant and simple, like doing the dishes by hand instead of instructing the house elves to do them, there was a predictable pattern to his emotional explosions.
This time had been different.
You were simply lounging by the fire, delving deep into your favorite muggle-writen novel, when he had appeared before you. You couldn't exactly remember what had happened at first, only that he had torn the book from your hands and thrown it into the roaring fireplace. The next thing you can recall, he's pushing you back against the black leather couch, forcing his mouth and body upon you as if he hadn't been completely depriving you for over a year, as if he hadn't brushed off your advances and let you cry yourself to sleep alone in the bed you had once shared for over a year.
So you did what any sane woman would do: You slapped him and shoved him off of you, hollering over your lost novel and his shitty advance.
"You must be joking?!" You had screamed, standing over him as he clutched his face in pain and looked up at you with liquor-glazed eyes wide in apparent shock.
The shock didn't last long, though.
You don't know if he actually hit you, because everything happened so quickly, but your recollection counts you on the floor, and him above you, screaming profanities in your face as spit flies from his mouth while he roars at you through clenched teeth. You've never been one to back down though, and you remember quickly finding your feet and shoving him backwards into the coffee table, almost tripping him as you scream back profanities that would make an Irish sailor blush.
Things escalated so quickly, you can't remember exactly what each of you said, you just remember how bad each word hurt. Whether you were receiving or dishing them out, each word split your heart into tinier pieces, syllable by syllable. The last thing you remember was what ended the argument and sent you flying up the stairs.
"So tell me to leave. I'll pack my bags, get on the road..."
"So why don't you just tell me to fucking leave?! Why the fuck are we still doing this?! Why waste either of our time anymore?! I don't fucking deserve this!! You've been playing fucking games with me since the first day we fucking met, you don't fucking love me, you barely love yourself!!"
"Find someone that loves you better than I do, darling, I know. 'Cause you remind me every day, I'm not enough, but I still stay..."
You had regretted the words instantly, for they had sobered you of the outright rage that had blinded you for however long the fight had been going for. Draco, however, had no sobering experience. No, your analysis of his drinking and abuse had simply proved to anger him further, and he screamed the six words that shattered your world to the core.
"THEN GET THE BLOODY HELL OUT, YOU HALF-BREED WHORE!! YOU'RE BARELY WORTH MY TIME, I COULD FIND TEN WOMEN WHO WOULD LOVE ME BETTER!! AND THEY'LL ALL KNOW THEIR BLOODY PLACE, TOO!!"
"Feels like a lifetime, just tryna get by, while we're dying inside. I've done a lot of things wrong, loving you being one, but I can't move on..."
Silence ensued between the two of you, even though it was swallowed by the crack of the thunder above your heads and the deafening pounding of the large raindrops on the roof.
And this is what brought you here, locked away in your once shared bedroom, crying your soul out in rivers as you packed what mattered as quickly as possible, not that you were getting very far with your task. You could barely see, after all. In fact, you were sobbing so openly and loudly; you didn't hear the quiet flapping of clothing and clap of footfalls on marble that come with someone apparating into appearance.
"You know I, I'm afraid of change. Guess that's why we stay the same..."
You growled in sorrow and frustration at your clumsily packed trunk, slamming down the lid to try and close it; to no avail. You could barely see through your tears, so you could scarcely be expected to notice the small corner of a shirt that was tucked just slightly into the slot where the latch was supposed to slide in. You simply growled and cried in aggravation, slamming it over and over, faster and harder, trying to get the latch to catch in the slot. After a few tries, you gave up. Sliding to floor in anguish and defeat, you brought your legs up and crossed your arms over your knees, tucking your face into your jeans to hide your tear and snot-streaked features. You still can't hear anything over the deafening storm and your own cries, but you know it's Draco when you feel his touch. It's soft, as if he's trying not to frighten you away like you would a feral cat.
Just a gentle stroke of his palm on your hair, and you dare take a glance at his shoes through your arms, before looking up at him through your tears. You can see his expression change when he takes a good look at your face, and you can see the pain in his now sobered eyes. You can tell he's sorry, but that's not enough this time, and you turn your face back into your legs and take a deep, shuddering breath.
"So tell me to leave, I'll pack my bags, get on the road. Find someone that loves you better than I do, darling, I know. 'Cause you remind me every day, I'm not enough, but I still stay..."
"(Y/N), please..." You can hear his voice cracking, and you want so badly to turn to him and push away his fears. You want to tell him that you won't go anywhere, that you'll always be here, that you'll never let him push you away... But you can't. You don't have it in you right now, and you're not sure if you will again, not this time. For the first time, you find yourself imagining a life without Draco in it. Would you be happier? Would the pain end? You don't think you even remember what it was like before being with Draco, before being a slave to your blind love for him and that scares you half to death.
So you don't say a thing, you simply begin to cry even harder, and that prompts Draco to drop to his knees beside you, enveloping you in his arms and whispering desperate 'I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry's. His chin comes to rest on top of your head, and for a split moment you think the roof has sprung a leak, before you realize it's his tears hitting the top of your head as he cries in earnest.
"I don't know what to do, (Y/N)... I don't know how to fix this... I love you so much..." He chokes back a sob, and you sniffle as you begin to cry even harder.
"Please, please don't leave... I'm so so sorry..."
You stay like that for a few hours, wrapped in his arms while he cries out his apologies into your hair, before you finally cave into him, shushing his sobs and kissing away his tears.
"If you want me to leave, then tell me to leave, and baby, I'll go. You remind me every day, I'm not enough, but I still stay..."

Kin of Klavis: Chapter 2 (Redwall fanfiction)
Figured since I'm playing with this one currently, I should possibly share it one here alongside my visual Redwall fanworks!
Content Warnings: Redwallish-type curses, Medieval style violence (PG-13, on par with what's already in the novels), and the occasional joke that goes beyond G-rating.
Setting: Like a successor to the book before it--roughly two generations (60 seasons) after the events of The Rogue Crew
Continue below for Chapter 2:
Kin of Klavis
Chapter 2:
The Traitor
That night the first snow of the cold seasons fell upon the woodlands. Where once the treetrunks were wreathed in gold and bronze foliage they were now encased in ice-crusted snow, deep as an otter's back paw. This was no trouble to the village of peaceful goodbeasts. They had brought in all of their harvest some days before, and they were glad to say that none was lost to the frosting. Warmth was also not an issue, for though the fluffy frozen rains had come, the sun also shone that morning, jinxing the night's work to an early disappearance. What remained of the precipitation was turning steadily into drippy slush, in some places beginning to show bare soil and patches of inconvenienced grass. The little ones of the village payed no heed to how their elders stepped lightly through the unpleasant mush--throwing themselves in happily and stomping great prints much larger than their own footpaws were. "Fur and famine, Meelain, get that insufferable brat inside before he catches his death of cold!" The speaker was an aged hare equipped with a stiff brow and eyes that shot romantical ideas to death in mid-flight. Not one of those wistful adventurers, she. Not one who had lusted for the march of Long Patrol, taking off on first whim and chance. No, she was a caregiver of youngbeasts, and those qualities were unsuited to that profession, "I said, Meelain, get that babe inside now! Blood'n'thunder, he's sopping wet!" The mousemaid the old harewife was ordering about stood up as if just waking. She was one of those wistful adventurers, able to run about on the faintest of fantasies. But her fantasy had gotten her into a great deal of trouble before--she would not ordinarily be aiding the old one to herd Dibbuns. Were it not for her minor crime, she would be off splashing about like the other young ones. "I'm sorry, marm, I'll get him right away." She rose from her seat on the side of the low windowsill, wedged between two pies. As she dashed off, the ancient harewife leaned down to inspect the pies. Can't be too careful. The greengage was safe, but the blackberry and apple had a nibble missing from the crust edge. Squinting hard for evidence of whose teeth had done the deed, she spied a place in the wind-weathered wood where Meelain's claws had scratched out a simple message... I want to go past the trees. The furrowed face of the harewife gave a fleeting smile. She had never been like that, but it did not stop her from feeling for the young heart that felt trapped in a tiny world. Come to think of it, she herself had never been beyond the confines of old Mossflower. They had grown up together, in a way. She had never even dreamed of leaving. Still, vandalism was vandalism, even if it was inspiring the staunch caregiver's sympathies. Scooting the pies away, she retrieved a vial of wood repairing resin from one of many haphazard shelves scattered about the kitchen's walls. "Myna, me ole dear, what's th' trouble?" The voice belonged to another she had raised. A male hare, one of those that wasn't a wanderer but by no means was possessing of much brains either. Bluedrop, he was named. His wife was Gemma Withersfield, Master Withersfield's lucky single daughter. How Bluedrop secured the marriage Myna would never understand; he was such an annoyance even as he crept into the age of responsibility. "Don't you talk t' me like that," she snapped, rubbing hard with the resinous rag at the scratched message in the windowsill. "Ain't been that long since I rocked you as an infant to shut up yore whinging mouth." "Of... course, marm. I'll try to be more respectful in the future!" As he spoke he made a leg, dipping himself down well past his knees. Myna rolled her bagged eyes and pointed stiffly to a bundle hanging from a basket by the other window. "Babe." "Oh...Oh! Right, almost forgot about th' liddle gel..!" Gemma's little daughter was lifted from the basket bassinet by the paws of her foolish father. She was wrapped in barkcloth that had been washed and beaten out so often that it had become soft a
the fur on a dormouse's ear. His dun face and frazzled whiskers popping up in delight, Bluedrop looked nowhere but at the face of his baby girl, who was coming fussily out of a doze. "Aww, isn't that my sleepy little filly? Sorry, did I wake you up, liddle one?" Myna rolled her eyes at the horrid voice the male was putting on. "Badgers' beards, Bluedrop, she's not one season yet. She can't understand a damn word ya say." Bludrop covered the sleepy babe's flopped ears with one grey mitt, scowling at the nurse. "Myna! Such language!" He busied himself over his tiny one again, brushing errant bits of fur away from her dewy eyes, "Right in front of my widdle one, such a meanie. That's right, Myna's an' ole meanie, Blythie..." "Blythie..?" Myna looked up from scrubbing dirtied oven trays to shoot a quizzical look his way, "Her name's Blythe, leveret, and don't you forget it. Gemma chose that title for her little girl and that's what she'll be known as!" "It's only a nickname, affectionate, y'know..?" "No, I don't know. Your name's Bluedrop. How'd you feet it I took a liking to callin' you 'Bluebum' one day?" The father hare stuck his coral pink tongue out to the great amusement of his little leveret. "I'd fancy that, marm. It's not untruthful, at least after the mid-season games. Ooch, never gonna volunteer to balance on a pole ever again, no sah..." The tinkling bell sound of Gemma's chuckle in the doorway drew both of their gazes, Bluedrop with a fumble of the giggling babe and Myna with a severe gesture in the husband's direction. The young harewife in a winter gown of heavy fleece and long sleeves paced up the step into the kitchen and delicately reached for her little girl. "How's my rare one?" The female's sweet voice hummed into her daughter's tiny nub ears. Myna huffed, hunching back over her work. Bluedrop put all his bodily effort into not dropping the infant as he passed Blythe on to her mother. "She's been sleeping up a treat, love." The hare scratched his nose, "Bit like I wish I could do everyday... An eight hour nap sounds absolutely capital..." "Hmph!" Myna's growl was audible from over the sloshing sudsy water in the washbasin. "Sure, Blue..." Gemma pretended to roll her eyes at her husband's sillyness, but couldn't eliminate the trace of a giggle crinkling her tan nose and lips, "Come, into the parlor, will you? I'm expecting Dochunn to come over and meet us up there. He has something to tell you..." "Me?" Blue followed after his wife after a beat of bewildered staring, "What would that old hog want with me? I'm not one of his warriors." "No, but he still wants you to hear him out. He said it was dreadfully important." "He said it was 'dreadfully important'?" Bluedrop winced and shrunk away as Gemma shifted the baby into one arm and raised the other one as if to slap him one. Retracting the violent gesture, she chuckled with good humor along with his nervous giggle. "No, not exactly, but you know what I mean." --- The morning came too soon for the frantically struggling beast gnawing his way through the green saplings of his prison cage. The snow had pushed into the sides of his pen, freezing and stiffening the poles that lashed him in. Jerking like a stricken partridge with the freezing temperature, Dankwood found that the cold had caused the small trees to shrink ever so slightly. Pressing his back against one corner, the weasel planted both footpaws on a single bar. Suddenly he straightened his legs. The chill-weakened sapling strained, produced several grating crackles, then split into three spiraled fractures. His fangs rattled together as he grinned. --- Fayron awoke from the cross-legged pose he had frozen himself in ovenight. His stiffened body cracked and groaned as he stood in a fluid motion, creeping around the guttering smoulders of what was left of his tent's fire. He came to the doorflap and peeled it aside, his quick eyes taking stock of the half-molten snows outside and the dim forms of a few tribebeasts who were up already. The
pine marten left the tent in silence, as ever. None of the other creatures nearby marked his passage. The sun was beginning to shine out clearly, even in the deep treeshade of the inner woodlands. Fayron picked his path carefully, more from a want to keep his footpaws' joints pain-free than from a desire for stealth. Into the trees at the edge of the camp he went, shuffling his brown robes and eyeing each dead leaf and crust of frost as if critical of their presence. The black-furred creature paused. The sapling cage, reserved for punishing those who committed crimes of honor, was empty. Pacing about it with a turned head, the pine marten was reaching a venerable paw down to the splintered fragments of wood on one of the bars when the cold shock of metal on his neck hit him. "What want you, Dankwood weasel?" He did not have to turn to see whichbeast it was that was holding the blade to his throat. He heard a snicker from behind and felt the steel wander up to the soft space beneath his chin. "What d'you think I want, old one?" The weasel hissed into his ear with a bitterness that implied he would bite it were he more enraged, "Somebeast has to pay for taking what is mine!" "Theivery is not the denial of what a greedy one seeks, weasel." The blade pressed harder into the pine marten's neck. "Now isn't the time for your damned wisdom, blackfur," Dankwood growled. "Now it the time for you to tell me what you saw." "...Saw?" "In your visions, daft one! What else does a Seer see?" "Wish me to tell thee the meaning of visions mine?" The pine marten would have shaken his head, but being unable to do so he instead scoffed audibly at the beast's request, "My visions are for nobeast to steal. I speak to only Mogja. Ye shall answer to him in time, weasel, for this day. And for yesterday." This time, Dankwood was unable to control his violent urge. He pulled the blade, a straight-edged sword, from the old creature's throat and spun him where he stood until he was facing the criminal. "You'll pay, Chief's dog!" The sword rose in an arc of sunlight reflecting off the keen edge, upwards in a wild lash. The pine marten was too close and too feeble to jump away before the point of the sword bit him in the ribs and was torn across his chest. He fell on mixed snow and damp leaves, already stained by specks of his own blood. The weasel turned away with no need to see the full extent of his own evil work. From the bushes there came a rustling sound, and the four ferret guards rose groaning. In an instant the weasel's blood-spattered swordpoint was in the biggest one's face. "Stand up, cur." The ferret, unarmed as he was, did as he was bidden. Dankwood crooked a claw on his free paw over to where Fayron lay disheveled on the reddening ground. "See that?" The ferret nodded, numb with fear and shock. "See what happens when anybeast steals from Dankwood, son of Sorghum?" They all nodded. "Nobeast else better steal from me, yes..?" The weasel's eyes bulged at the four mustelids. Their lips were tight with unspoken terror and their paws were useless, so disheartened by their morning discovery that they were powerless against the will of the traitorous beast. Dankwood strode past each of them in turn, still pointing with his blade. He stopped on one of the smallest and stared hard into his face for what seemed an age upon an age. "Tell me, dirttail, what power has the Seer?" "...He has power of Spirit, over Death, over--" "No he doesn't!" The weasel's paw snapped through the air like a whip, clubbing the ferret full in the snout and littering the trunk of a nearby birch with sprinkles of blood. "I have the power of Death! I brought Death to him. And I can bring Death to you soon enough..." He resumed his stride, glaring down at the next shortest ferret standing nearby. This ferret was clearly close to losing it, whimpering under his breath and shaking from both cold and horror. Dankwood leaned in until the point of the sword and his feverish eyeballs were mere inches
from the ferret's. "I am no Mogja, and I am not nearly as deadly as his son, but I have fought them both and lived! And I will continue to live! Anybeast standing against me will die a death not fit for a scum-sucking worm." To illustrated his point, the weasel suddenly flung himself upon the largest of the ferrets, who was obviously much physically larger than himself. Taken by surprise, the ferret writhed on the ground under the punishing blows the traitor was giving out with the flat of his sword. Reaching down with his free claw, Dankwood added a final insult and injury by raking his nailtips across his victim's eyes. "Hyyyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh!" Dankwood rose and stalked back and forth a few paces. All four ferrets were crumbling now, completely rendered useless to fighting back. The weasel grinned. "Do you lot wish to die like that..?" "...N-no, no we don't..." "...Please, no..." "Anything..." Dankwood trod on the edge of the temporarily blinded mustelid's staghide kilt, stopping him from standing again. "Serve me then. Follow me into battle. Do all I say." The ferrets stared blankly at their aggressor, quietly weeping and fixated on the tip of the reddened sword...
