Better than when you found it -Part 2-
Part 1 Here
Tumblr media
-The Second Day: Saturday- 
Ekubo: Yawwwwn~~What are we doing today?
Reigen brushing teeth: There’s a DVD rental kiosk around the corner. Wanna check it out? 
Mob: Yes I’m here
Reigen: Wait, Mob what? (btw you have foam on your face.)
Tumblr media
Mob: Weren’t you asking me where I was?
Reigen: No?
Serizawa pops out: Did someone say movie?!
Tumblr media
Mob thinks: I keep hearing someone calling my name.
One unspecified adult: What movies are we getting?
Another unspecified adult: Lets go take a look at what they have.
--20 Minutes Later--
Unspecified Adult: Alright! What do we have? 
(It’s not specified who is speaking here, but based on the speech form it’s either Reigen or Ekubo, not Serizawa)
Tumblr media
Ekubo reads: The Hunger Games?
Someone else: We’ll that’s....
Mob: I’ve heard of it before.
Ekubo: Yeah?
Mob: Master told me about it. -He holds up a clothes hanger-
Mob puts the clothes hanger on his head: Yeah! Hunger Games!
Ekubo: Um....
Reigen: NO NO, That’s not it.
(Can someone explain this reference to me? I’ve never seen the Hunger games. I have no idea what this is about.)
Tumblr media
Somebody: Whatever. Lets try it. 
There is a loud scream from the TV. Serizawa is startled into dropping his tea tray. Ekubo covers Mob’s eyes. 
Reigen is pissed: WHO PICKED THIS VIOLENT FILM?! Take care of Mob!
Mob peeling Ekubo’s hands off his face: Um... I’m fine with it. I just.....I just feel like something is wrong. 
(He’s actually referring to the presence of the spirit in the apartment. He’s been talking about it since the first panel. The adults are having too much fun they forgot.)
Reigen: You.....You’re not likeing this violence are you?  hmmmmmm
Tumblr media
Reigen: Okay Mob! Listen up! I’m gonna teach you the right way to approach media like movies and TV.
You gotta put yourself in the shoes of the protagonist.
(I LOVE THE WAY THIS PANEL IS DRAWN. The framing of the panel is encouraging and mentorly, like a coach telling his player to go out there and do his best, ........except it’s Reigen...teaching Mob to watch movies.... He’s 14, I’m sure he’s seen movies before.)
Tumblr media
Reigen puts his hand on Mob’s shoulder: You think you can do it? 
Mob: um....
Reigen: Try it out! I guarantee you’ll get a different experience out of it.
Mob is watching intently while all three adults look bored. The room is filled with fighting sounds.
Mob: That looks like it hurts.
Reigen looks over at Mob and fails to notice the rustling behind him. 
Tumblr media
Reigen’s Phone Rings: Crap I forgot
Mob: Is it a client?
Reigen: Yeah
Tumblr media
Reigen: I’m just going to go on my own, it’ll be quick.
Ekubo: Are you gonna be okay on your own?
Reigen: Yeah it’s fine, It’s just an in-office consultation. I’ll be back at around noon.
Mob: Okay, see you later
Reigen: yep
Tumblr media
Ekubo: So.... what are we gonna do?
Serizawa: Ummmmm
(I like how Ekubo hangs out on top of Mobs head, the way he does all the time as a spirit.)
Tumblr media
Serizawa gets an idea looking at the microwave: How about we cook while waiting for Reigen to return?
Mob: That’s a good idea, he’d be hungry when he comes back Mob thinks: I don’t know how to cook though. 
Ekubo rolls up sleeves: Lets do it! It’s not like we’re busy. I’ll show you my signature dish!
Serizawa: Ekubo-kun...
Tumblr media
Ekubo: Alright lets divide up  the work.
Mob: Okay
Serizawa: ah! Yes!
They start cooking. Mob cuts himself chopping vegetables.
Serizawa: Ah! You’re bleeding!  Mob: Ow ow... Ekubo: You cut yourself AGAIN?!
They’re almost done.  Mob: Im hungry Ekubo making fried rice. Should we make something more than just this? Serizawa: Ah, we can add a salad!
It’s 12:42
Tumblr media
Reigen Returns: Ugh this place is so far from the office. I’m starving.
He’s jiggling the key in the lock: lock is acting up again. 
Huh?
(This is a callback to the beginning when he was working the lock, he told everyone to do things in pairs to avoid being possessed. He forgot and went off on his own.) Reigen gets possessed
The door clatters and he enters the apartment. 
Mob: ah! Master! Welcome back!
Tumblr media
Mob: Master?
Reigen: What have you guys busied yourself with? 
Tumblr media
Ekubo: Um.... what?
Serizawa: We made lunch
Mob: eh? ehhh?
Reigen:THIS is what you’ve decided to whittle away the last few hours on?
(This is so hard to translate, but it’s what I love about translating. His word choice here is saying that 1. they acted without permission. 2. they did something that wasted time, and resources and was ultimately unnecessary. 3. they’re screwing around like children.)
Tumblr media
Reigen: No one asked you to do this. Why you did is beyond me. 
Others: ?!
Reigen: I put a lot of effort into planning what foods to bring and what the meal plans were going to be.
(Reigen doesn’t normally have light colored eyes. That’s a nice touch.)
Tumblr media
Ekubo is looking at Mob
Mob: I....Im sorry
Ekubo remembers how eager mob wanted to cook for Reigen, how he cut him self trying. 
Serizawa: Mr. Reigen, this is very unlike you. Is something wrong?
Ekubo to Reigen:  I don’t like your tone.
Serizawa: Ekubo-kun!*
Ekubo: Look, I’m not sure what’s gotten into you but.......
Reigen: Hmm?
(*This wasn’t made all that clear in the manga, but Serizawa is ALWAYS very deferential around Reigen. He’s never direct with him, meekly suggests things rather than outright stating them. He doesn’t treat their relationship as that of equals, he’s the subordinate and he expresses this in the language he uses and the tone he takes. As opposed to Ekubo who is direct and not afraid to confront Reigen. Ekubo’s pronouns, word choice and tone expresses the belief that he is an equal if not better than the people around him.
Which is why Serizawa is shocked that Ekubo is so direct. Like, How could he just outright say “I dont like your tone” TO Reigen?)
Tumblr media
Reigen: got something to say? 
Ekubo: ....how dare you? What gives you the right?
Serizawa: ....?
Reigen: What gives YOU the right? It’s not YOUR body. It’s not like I asked you to possess this man. You did that yourself. 
Serizawa notices that there’s something on Reigen: Ekubo-kun w...wait!
Tumblr media
Ekubo: Bastard, if you don’t stop running your mouth....
Reigen smiles: Hmmm? Are you not an evil spirit? You REALLY think you live a normal human life again? 
(I love that panel with Reigen’s silent open-mouthed smile, he knows he’s won.  He’s gonna pull the trigger now.)
Tumblr media
Ekubo: ..... I see 
Mob: Eku~ Ekubo: I understand now. -He walks out and closes the door being him-
Mob stands at the door: Ekubo?
Serizawa: Ekubo-kun
(AAAHHH I LOVE HOW YOU DON’T SEE EKUBO’S EXPRESSION IN THE FIRST PANEL THERE)
Tumblr media
Reigen: Enough.... he’s so much trouble.
Mob is still at the door:..... Ekubo
Mob: When we were cooking, he said....
Tumblr media
Ekubo: He’s considerate in a way.... For an evil spirit like me, he treats me no different than anyone else around him.... that’s something. 
Mob: Eventhough Ekubo is an evil spirit, and a dangerously powerful one at that,... he’s an uncharacteristically a good person.
Mob opens the door and runs outside after him. 
TO BE CONTINUED
I like this part SO GODDAMN MUCH. Reigen is really good at reading people and knowing what to say. He can use his words to get people to feel how he wants them to, and the idea of him getting possessed and unleashing his ability on other people to destroy them is so goddamn cool. 
You’ve heard of Empaths. They are people that easily understand the emotions of others. But in psychology, there’s a lesser known personality type called a “Dark Empath” that can understand peoples feelings well but is also a sociopath that has no problems hurting other people.
Dark Empaths use their understanding of other people to hurt, defraud and other take advantage of others. These are people that convince others to commit suicide or charm people out of their life savings etc.
I wish there was more Dark Empath! Reigen fics. This is something I’ve not seen in Fanfiction, in fact, this comic is the only place I’ve seen it. It’s such an interesting concept. Like, if there were fics that cast him as a villan, then it’s perfectly in-character and logical for him to be a Dark Empath.

i would do anything for just a short one shot of orphic light x reader cuddling . its valentines day and im down bad
me too lol i hate V-day.... but chocolate is on sale tomorrow.......
this one’s for you bby and everyone else who is feeling it today. im right here with y’all <3 
idk what it is tho hahahahaahh 
You didn’t think about it.
Okay, okay, that was a lie. You did. Fuck, you did, but what were you supposed to do? Pretend you didn’t? Pass by other regular, healthy couples and pretend to not wish with every fiber of your being that you were them? It was tiring, so tiring to put on a face and act, to shove your emotions down down until they're squashed out of existence.
Or, at the very least, pretending they're out of existence. 
But god, you had to give yourself this one. You didn’t have the power to pretend or act or ignore or do anything right now. Even if you wanted to, Light had everything down to a science from the twitch of your fingers to the drag of each syllable out of your mouth whether it was a microsecond too long or one pitch too high to be normal. Up until now, you’ve every valentine’s day deep in daydreams and fantasies full of flowers, dates, and just... happiness, however that looked like to you with whoever was home to you. 
Light was definitely not what you were expecting to be your first - and most likely last one way or another - relationship, but you just wanted something normal. Something that can just give you a taste of real, tangible escapism. To feel warm and happy and cozy and appreciated and loved. For fuck’s sake, you just wanted to feel as loved as every other goddamned couple you see holding hands or - fuck - even laughing and smiling like normal people in a normal world. 
That’s all. 
But, no, no you couldn’t even have that. You spent ten whole minutes pacing outside Light’s office to gain the confidence to walk in and ask if you can do something, anything. All that amounted to was him grimacing and telling you to leave him “the hell alone right now,” and it hurt. Of course, it did. You finally take a risk and ask for something you want and not live every second of your life wondering what’s going to make him happy, and it gets shut down so easily. You’re not sure what would happen if you ever did that. 
So, in your prepubescent turmoil, you left. You escaped the stiff air of the house and his presence, and deeply inhaled the brisk February air. It was cold, sure, but not nearly as ruthless as the winter air could be. It was actually relatively nice out. Thank fuck. You only grabbed your lighter coat in your absconding and settled for the first place of peace you can find in the city: a small park with a cobblestone path cutting through it. 
The cruel, black metal of the bunch bit your ass and chilled your skin, but now you could hardly feel it. You could hardly care. What were you going to do? Get up. Sure, and go where? Wander aimlessly and just pass more restaurants brimming with everything you ever wanted? No thanks. The volume of people walking past you here was far fewer. Plus, if you leaned back to let the cold touch your thighs and stare at the cloudy sky, you didn’t have to see any of them. 
You’re not sure the wetness on your cheeks began as soft drifts of white landed there or as tears crept from the corner of your eyes. You’re also not sure how long you sat there. Your legs have long since fallen asleep, succumbing to countless pins and needless. Snow was accumulating all around you, on you, even as a terrible, freezing, wet blanket you slightly shifted to knock off every so often. 
It really must have been a pathetic sight to see. You shut your eyes and felt each flake land on you, hoping, eventually, they would bury you. 
But they stopped. 
You opened one eye to see the disturbance. Black completely overtook the sky. Ah, no, not the sky. An umbrella was tipped to cover your body entirely. Your eyes trailed down the thin metal supports to his face. Not unimpressive, not frustrated, not angry, just... there. Light looked down at you like he would look down at the sidewalk while walking any other day. A pale face sticking out of a black turtleneck under a brown coat he bought to replace the white one that was just getting too old and worn out for him. 
You look away. Using the back of your finger you wipe away a tear - definitely a tear and not snow - before settling both frozen hands in your pockets. Your eyes meet for a few more seconds before he steps to the side and takes a set next to you, close enough that you could feel the warmth of his thigh next to yours. Light held the umbrella in the small gap between you. 
“What are you doing here?” You ask finally, breaking the minutes-long silence. “Thought you were busy.” 
“Finished,” he replied. “Then I had to come play hide-and-seek with you when you ran out like a petulant child who didn’t get the toy they wanted at recess.” You want to shoot up straight and bitch at him, to say that it’s his fault, that everything is his fault, and to tell him that this is the least of the reactions you could offer in response to it all. 
“Then leave,” you said. “I’ll come back. You know that. Just... just for today let me be... happy. Please.” Your voice cracks and you have to look away once more to wipe away more stray tears. “I just wanted something... normal.” 
“Normal was out of the question from the start. In fact, don’t pretend that it was ever in the question. We’re meant for more than... normal.” 
You shake your head. “Not today, Light, fuck. You’re such a fucking genius, but god, you could never read a room, could you?” Light clenched his teeth but ultimately stayed silent. At least, for the minute he spent contemplating whether to tell you to ‘come off it,’ or to play into it for the longer-term benefit of your temporary satisfaction. You beat him to the punch. “It’s Valentine’s Day.”
“Funny enough, I knew that.” 
“Well, I couldn't tell.” 
“You don’t seem the type for flowers and poems, Y/N.” 
“Well, you don’t seem the type to-to... you know, and that’s-god-that’s not it, and I feel so stupid, in the scheme of things, to have this bother me, but fuck, Light. I’m a human. I’m complex and shit, and I can’t do what you do. At least, not consciously.
“This is... this fucked up, sure, but it’s the first real... something I ever had with someone else. Middle school, high school, even most of college was just me existing alone. It seemed like... it seemed like every single other person just got a handbook on how to socialize, how to develop relationships, how to love and be loved that I never got. That everyone else was able to be loved, but never me. Never me. I was never picked or chosen, or, even if I was, something better would come along and I’m left in the fucking dust. It’s me, you know? Never... never enough. For once - just for once - I can feel like I’m enough. That I’m not deciding every second if I’m breathing too loud or not being useful or whatever.” 
By the time you’re done, you feel far too comfortable in the silence that follows. You’re not horrified of what he’s going to do in response. You settled back down and shut your eyes. “That’s all,” you add pointlessly, “and, I’m not sure if you can tell, I really, really hate this holiday.” 
Light stood up. You watch him, like before, with one eye. The umbrella rests on his shoulder at an angle, and with his free hand, he extended his palm out to you. You furrowed your brows and quadruple your number of chins to look down at it. Light rolled his eyes. 
“You could stay here if you want.” You kind of wanted to. Spending a few more hours alone was tempting, but... but that’s what you always were, have been. You had one chance - one person - left to change that. 
His hand was warm over your own. It kept you centered and balanced as he led you down the snow-covered streets. Though it’s nothing like the pure joy emanating from others, it was something. It could probably be compared to two business partners walking stiffly while holding hands if you’re being honest.  
But for this, you can act for. 
You played pretend the rest of the way home until you convinced yourself you were in a good mood. You refused his offer of food when you return home. Instead, you nestled under a large white blanket and clicked on whatever was on: some cliche romance fic Light would never, on any other day, stand for. You could heat Light shifting around in the kitchen behind you. He emerged with two mugs with steam rising in small swirls above them. Light placed them on the table and you watched him motion for you to raise the blanket. 
Light slipped in beside you, and you wondered how painful it was for him to wrap his arm around your shoulder. It’s stiff, uncomfortable, and a bit cold, but not surprising. You shut your eyes and imagine... you try to imagine someone else, but there’s no one else you could picture besides Light. Anyone else felt... wrong, so you opted to watch the snowfall through the windows. Turning your body towards him more, you snuggle into him and rest your head on his shoulder. 
His hand rose between you. You figured it’s him adjusting himself or the blanket, but you’re surprised when his fingers lightly grab your chin and lift your head. There’s no time to react before his lips land on yours. 
Oh yes, you can act today. For today, you can pretend. You could let your heart be filled and convinced you are loved, because tomorrow, tomorrow was never guaranteed.

FIC RECS (Part 5) :)
Okay we are going to try this again lol. I hope I got everyone I was intending to!This one is LONG so buckle up babes. 
The request was for Cop!Bucky fics, by anonymous. Now I am SO excited to share this list because Cop Bucky is my top 2 favorite AU’s and actually the first AU I ever read for Bucky. So its incredibly close to my heart, and so are these fics. I hope everyone enjoys! :) (I start with Series, then go to One-Shots) 💖💕💗💓
In the Arms of Justice by @avengerofyourheart
Okay, this was actually the first full Cop!Bucky fic I ever read and let me tell you, it was an amazing bridge into what is now an unhealthy obsession lol. This fic is so well done. I love the way Anika plays with details in her stories. Every word has you hanging on, no stone is left unturned, no detail forgotten. This one, especially if you go back and read it a second time, you see all of the tiny foreshadowing she does. Its such a good mysterious fic. Its absolutely amazing the Protective/Soft Bucky on top of that is the best ever. Please read it twice to be able to fully realize the beauty.
Heart & Soul by @all1e23
This one is an ABO fic, and oh man is it good. This fic is just so heartbreakingly beautiful. Allie is dedicated, in all of their stories, to being as truthful to true human experiences and this is just another example. The emotion is so real and painful and I can somehow picture to all of these experiences even though I’ve never had them myself, solely because of the way they write. This is a story about trauma, trust, loyalty, and personal strength. Theres murder mystery and fluff all in  a lovely package.  The relationships between her and every one of the characters is so well drawn out, its just such a heartwarming fic.
The Witness by @wkemeup
Words tend to evade me when I try to explain my love for this fic, but I need I need to make sure its recognized. Bucky is soft and just wants the reader to be safe, the reader is self sufficient and headstrong. My favorite pairing. This story is honestly something that changed the way I read Bucky fics. It was the first story of hers I have ever read, and never have I gotten more lost in a story than this. Before this, I would mainly focus on dialogue of a story, and other important bits. This was so beautifully done, and packed with detail and emotion in the smallest sentences I made sure I didn’t miss a single thing. Also, the way she writes the aftermath in her Drabble/epilogue are so truthful to life and recovery. Ugh, just an amazing read.
Deception by @revengingbarnes 
This story is unlike the others I’ve read before. I LOVE undercover fics, don’t get me wrong, but a lot of the time they are set in this perfect world with no repercussions. This fic is so damn raw and honest and real. It shows the pain and aftermath that is unavoidable from situations like these, the emotion from Bucky and the Reader seeps through every word making it impossible not to get invested into them and their love. Not everything in life is perfect, there isn’t always that one happy ending, and this fic shows that. There is bumps and bruises and you won’t know whats coming until it happens but thats what makes it beautiful. 
Seven Thirty by @nacho-bucky 
So this one is absolutely the cutest thing ever. Its technically a cop!bucky but its not like the main factor in the story, but Im including it anyways because its too amazing to not! This has UNCLE BUCKY, oh my god thats my favorite soft Bucky trope and its done again here so well. Bucky is needs help with a kid, she works with kids, what could go wrong??? Nothing! Because this is a story of two awkwardly adorable individuals being roped into the cutest relationship ever by a sneaky little girl. This story is Witten so well, every detail paints the best picture of utter domesticity and love and I cannot get over it. Especially the little drabbles accompanying it? Be still my heart. 
Ride With Me by @jurassicbarnes 
Now this one is a treat, we’ve got Cop!Bucky and Biker!Reader (whaaaat?? Biker reader??) Yes! So unique right? And its so well done too. This is about the cutest thing because you have no gender stereotypes whoop whoop! You have soft shy Bucky (who tries so hard to hide it, oh my love), and a badass reader! Its so unique and absolutely adorable. I feel like this needs to be made into a romance movie, I would watch the hell out of it. Its like perfect YA romance I'm telling you! Opposites attract and lead to a work of art in disguise as a Bucky Fanfic. Also, I want Natasha to be my Best Friend :( 
Sweet as Cinnamon by @propertyofpoeandbucky 
It wouldn’t be a proper Cop!Bucky list without some Chubby Bucky! In there! Now, wanna know who’s sweet as cinnamon? Bucky Barnes in this fic (more like a compilation of one-shots). We have a single dad, divorced, insecure, chubby Bucky, and we all know what that leads to? Me in an absolute puddle of love and fluff. The relationship he has with the reader and his daughter are the most pure things I’ve ever been lucky enough to read. I love sneaky kids man, and oh does he have one! All of Leilanis fics are so good, but something about this Universe really just sticks in my heart. Amazingly well written, 10/10 would read every single one again. 
Good Cop, Bad Cop by @cametobuyplums 
Okay, another thing that makes this list complete? A smutty fic (again more of a compilation of one shots). This fic is damn good. Its kinda like SAC in the way of Bucky is a single, insecure, divorced, chubby father. But plot twist! Reader is a young sexy police chief that just wants her man, Bucky. Let the fun ensue! No seriously though, besides the smut, this series is incredibly well done. You wouldn’t expect many heartfelt moments in a fic like tis, but thats the beauty of it. I love reading stories where Bucky just gets loved up and fights his insecurities. If you like reading smut, I guarantee you will love this fic!
Sunshine by @thottybarnes 
Let me squeal about this one real quick. I just recently read it and I LOVED it. Honestly any story that has beefy Bucky is always gonna be a good one for me, but beefy Bucky AND soft, baby fever having Bucky? Oh my heart cant take it. This fic is absolutely adorable. I love how fun and light hearted it is, and the details they put in the background are to die for. Such a good fic if you want fluff, and Cop!Bucky all in one fantastic package. The way she rights the reader also just makes me feel like a good person and who doesn’t love that? All in all, the story is amazing, and now I want a baby with beefy Bucky :(
Anyone Except You by @maid-of-mourne-shore  
Okay so this one is definitely different than the ones I’ve listed so far. This one is a little intense. Definitely needs a trigger warning especially with the current US gun situation. Anyways, if you can handle it, please read it. Its a beautifully raw story that portrays that trauma for an outsider so well. I was on the edge of my seat, heart hurting. Bucky Is so soft, the mutual pining is there, the protective Bucky is there, the flangst is there. Its really, really good.
Uniformed by @bucky-plums-barnes
Oh my dear Gen, another wonderful fic from her. This story is absolutely so unique in the way its set up. The sections being introduced like a hospital case had me hooked from word one. I love a hard to get fic, especially when it involves a cocky Bucky and a take no nonsense reader! This fic has its fun times, but it also gets some angsty moments of just raw emotion and understanding between two people in difficult career paths, its truly beautiful. Also, UNCLE BUCKY makes an appearance :)
And finally, last but not least 
Reassurance by @ofheroesandvillains
Obviously I’m a sucker for insecure chubby Bucky. He gets a little green here not gonna lie, makes him about 50x cuter. We get it Bucky, she’s your wife (so you say) and not his. This fic issuer cute, I love me a reassuring reader, because I know I would say the same in that situation. You feel the love between the characters, its not an overwhelming display of love, but its truthful to life and real feelings, and I love it so. 
If you read to the end of this long list, bless your heart and I love you so much. I’m not a writer, so my grammar is probably bad, and I basically just write in a stream of consciousness lol, so sorry for that! I hope you love the fics on here as much as I do! Till next time my loves.

Like a Virgin [m]
Im Jaebum x Fem Reader Genre: Smut Words: 3k [Masterlist] Plot: When Im Jaebum catches you in a lie when you attempt to preserve your reputation during a game of Truth or Dare, you know you’re in big trouble. Warnings (?): dom!Jaebum,  mutual masturbation, unprotected sex, creampie (pretty safe stuff y’all I’m new to this lol) a/n: wow, so this is my first smut huh? I feel like I’m graduating or something and it ain’t even a Mark fic lol either way I think this is the beginning of my road to hell lmao also I realize I have a throat kink now and I don’t know what to do with this knowledge
Tumblr media
You felt yourself going red in the face as your friends leaned into the circle around you and this time it was more than the fireplace behind you that was making the cabin feel extra hot tonight.
“So is it Truth or Dare?” Bambam urged, an evil smirk rising to his lips.
You glanced at your best friend Lina who had just been forced into giving Mark a lap dance and Yugyeom who was dared to strip naked and run outside through the snow (although the latter was a bit too proud about shedding his pants). You let out a sigh, eyes glancing furtively at Jaebum before turning back to Bambam.
“Truth please,” you committed.
“Aw, you’re no fun!” Yugyeom whined.
You chuckled at the younger boy’s pouting but when you saw the excited glint in Bambam’s eyes, you swallowed nervously.
“Okay, truth it is,” Bambam smiled, pointing his finger at you eagerly. “Have you ever masturbated to the thought of any of us here?”
Jaebum smiled, watching as your eyes widened with horror and your ears blushed pink with embarrassment. There was a quick moment of silence in which you were momentarily stunned before Lina broke out into a laugh.
“As this girl’s roommate, I can guarantee you she hasn’t. Shit, I don’t even think Y/N masturbates!” Lina teased, eyes squeezing shut as she doubled over in laughter. Honestly, you didn’t think it was that hilarious, but you were grateful for any distraction from your sex life nonetheless.
“Oh, come on, you have to at least masturbate, right? It’s human nature!” Bambam insisted, looking between you and Lina with arched eye brows.
“Maybe for gross boys like you Bambam,” Lina joked, nudging him with her elbow. “But Y/N’s like the Virgin, herself. She’s an angel!”
You tilted your head, resisting your best friend’s favorite nickname for you. Sure, maybe you weren’t as sexually outgoing or experienced as Lina but you weren’t an angel and you certainly weren’t a virgin. But the others seemed to be convinced by Lina’s loud exclamations as they began to nod along.
“Actually, I can see it,” Mark agreed, staring at you with squinted eyes as if your sexual experience was written across your face.
Jaebum chuckled, watching as your shoulders squeezed and you seemed to shrink from everyone’s teasing. “You need some water, Y/N? You’re getting kinda red right now.”
When you looked at him with surprise in your eyes, he felt his own stomach flip. He had been wanting to get to know you all semester but hadn’t found the guts to talk to you until this trip. He was beginning to realize you were cuter up close than when you sat across the room from him in your lecture halls.
“Yeah, I believe it,” Yugyeom added. “I remember in 9thgrade Y/N asked me what jizz was.”
You gasped at the sudden exposure, your lips bunching into a pout. “I was 14!”
“Exactly, you were 14 and didn’t know what the word jizz meant!”
“Knowing slang doesn’t always equate to knowing sex though,” Mark defended, more so to get a kick out of Yugyeom than to help you, but seeing as everyone was out to get you now you figured you would take what you could.
“Maybe, but I remember the first month I started rooming with Y/N,” Lina laughed.
Jaebum leaned into his hand, trying to cover his growing smile as he watched you glare at your friend. “Lina, don’t,” you warned. Even you being mad was cute.
“This girl!” Lina exclaimed, trying to hold back a laugh. “She legit pulled out my dildo and asked me if it was shoulder massager!”
“I-It didn’t look—It was a different shape!” You stammered.
Jaebum bit at his lip as you balled your hands into fists, straightening your back with a big red pout on your lips. If only you realized how little this was doing for your own argument. If anything, it made Jaebum even more convinced that you were in fact, an angel. Or at least more innocent than you were arguing to be.
“So you’ve really never maturbated, huh?” Bambam asked, looking confused but intrigued all at once.
You bit at your lip, looking at Bambam before you glanced away bashfully, eyes landing on Jaebum instead. For a second, he thought he saw your eyes widen from meeting his but the thought disappeared when you continued to look at him. He felt a stirring in his own stomach when he glanced at your plush lips and saw your teeth sink down harder.
“I-” You looked away to the floor and let out a breath before answering weakly, “No.”
“Oh, you poor soul, you must be so stressed,” Yugyeom teased, patting your head to ease the tension around the room. You rolled your eyes, swatting his hand away before glancing back at Jaebum.
“Anyways, it’s your turn now Jaebum,” You smiled brightly once again now that your turn was over.
Yugyeom clapped his hands with excitement, not even waiting for him to answer before he was already asking him a question. “What’s your secret kink?”
Jaebum smirked, “Mutual masturbation.”
Everyone in the room erupted with laughter. All except you and Jaebum. Instead you were left to stare at Jaebum as he looked at you quietly, an eyebrow raised before he leaned back on his arms, glancing from his thighs back to you. When he saw that you were still doe-eyed and pink in the cheeks he let out a chuckle, letting his head fall back and giving you the perfect view of his throat.
You gulped, averting your eyes quickly as you felt a rush of heat pool to your core.
The game went on and Bambam and Yugyeom did a plethora of embarrassing things but all this went right past you as you felt Jaebum’s eyes on you the entire time and all you could think about were other ways he could be all on you. The thoughts made you squirm in your seat on the hardwood floor.
So when Lina let out a yawn and called it a night, you silently thanked the heavens for releasing you of your torture.
It was past midnight when you finally sink into the bed. You let out a deep sigh as you closed your eyes and let your fingers travel south across your body. You were glad now that Lina had booked a spacious cabin with enough rooms for all of you to have your own.
You didn’t know Im Jaebum would be joining on the cabin trip with everyone. Ever since you laid eyes on him in your lecture hall, you had been dreaming of his pretty fingers running along your skin, your mouth on his delicious throat. The first time you spoke to him and he said your name, you almost melted into the floor on the spot.
And when you saw him step out of the guys’ car in his black bomber and matching beanie, you almost bent to your knees right then and there. It was only the second night of your trip and already you were too pent up with desire to even fall asleep despite the hectic day of skiing and long night of putting up with your friends’ shenanigans.
You savored the coldness of your fingers as you trailed lightly across your abdomen, teasing shivers off your body as you made your way down. You closed your eyes, imagining Jaebum’s hands pulling down your shorts and his fingers softly dipping down, past the band of your panties.
“Mmm,” you hummed lightly, finally relieving yourself as you pressed against your clit. You stretched your fingers out, teasing at your wet entrance before spreading your own arousal in circles against your clit. “Fuck, right there.”
Jaebum stopped in the middle of heading to his own bedroom at the sound of muttering outside your door. You were whispering but he had been sure everyone else already went to bed. He inched forward, careful to not make a sound as he leaned into the open gap of your door.
It was dark in the room except for a single streetlamp outside your window illuminating your exposed figure on the bed, eyes shut tight, t shirt sliding up your torso, and palm hidden underneath your delicate panties.
Jaebum watched as your arm began to move faster and your breaths became more shallow. He could feel his own breath constricting as his focus on you intensified.
“Oh, Jaebum,” you moaned, toes curling.
Jaebum felt his pants tighten at the sound of his name on your lips. He couldn’t help feeling a rush of pride as your arched into your own hand, continuously moaning his name under your breath.
“You called me?”
Your eyes flew open in surprise as you darted your hand out of your panties. You laid in shock, eyes looking back into his as you flushed with embarrassment.
“Well?” he went on, reaching the end of the bed. He lifted his leg, letting one knee sink into the mattress before he continued. “Are you just gonna stare at me all night, sweetheart? Or are you gonna continue?”
You swallowed, a new release of arousal pooling into your already soaked panties.
“C-continue,” you whispered meekly.
Jaebum smirked, reaching for your shorts and pulled them off your ankles. “That’s a good girl.”
He climbed fully onto the bed, eyes on you as he slipped two fingers past the band of your panties and pulled the soiled cloth off of you. He smiled before pulling your legs apart and sat between, taking in the beautiful sight of your exposed body under the faint light. You took in a breath as you felt the cool air hit you.
“Let me see how pretty you are,” he ordered, hands rubbing at your knees. “Take off your shirt sweetheart.”
“Jaebum,” you hesitated. “You too?”
You didn’t mean for it to come out as a question but from the look of his face you were glad that it did. You watched his eyes trail from your glistening entrance to your exposed belly button and he bit at his lips.
“Only for good girls,” he finally responded, hands trailing up your thighs. “Are you gonna be a good girl for me, Y/N?”
You let out a whimper as he pressed his thumbs into your inner thigh. You quickly tossed the flimsy t shirt over your head and off the bed, exposing your perky breasts to Jaebum’s hungry eyes.
“Fuck, you’re gorgeous,” he whispered before taking off his own shirt. You inhaled, taking in the sight of his abs and the faint trail leading to the bulge in his pants. “Now touch yourself.”
You let out a moan as your eyes remained on his and your fingers returned to your entrance.
“No, no,” he groaned, hand clutching your wrist and pulling your fingers away. “Did I say you could put your finger inside yet?”
“No,” you whispered, legs squirming as you ached to be touched. You licked at your lips, your free hand coming to squeeze at your own breasts. “Please, Jaebum. Please let me finger myself.”
“Fuck,” he whispered under his breath as he watched you knead at your nipple frantically. You looked so fucking delicious and desperate. “You’re so needy, Y/N.”
He dipped his head down, sucking at your sticky fingers and making you moan at the sight. “God you taste delicious. I could taste you all night, but since you’ve been waiting, why don’t you show me how you look when you’re cumming from your own fingers, okay?”
You nodded eagerly as he released his grip on you and you sunk two fingers into your entrance with a whimper. Jaebum moaned at the sight, pushing down his own sweatpants and boxers, and finally released his cock from its tight confinement.
“Oh fuck,” you cursed, watching as Jaebum squeezed his own cock in his hands, a small drop of precum leaking to the thick, red tip. You dipped your finger in faster, other hand sliding to your clit as you tried to match your pace to his strokes. You moaned in pleasure, never wanting more in your life than to have his cock in your hands, feeling those thick veins pulsing against your own palms.
“You like what you see sweetheart?” he smirked, slowing down his pace and giving himself one rough stroke up so that even more precum leaked to his tip. You moaned, licking at your lips and wanting nothing more than to press him against your tongue.
“Please Jaebum,” you whimpered, fingers slipping out of yourself as you reached forward for his arm. “I want you inside me already.”
He grinned, inching forward as if he had just been waiting for you to say that. “Aww, are your fingers not doing it for you?”
You pouted, closing your eyes in another whimper. “No, I need more. I need you.”
He chuckled, watching you arch in desperation. “Yeah, you want to feel my cock inside you? You want to cum around my dick, don’t you? Been dreaming about it all night, haven’t you sweetheart?”
He rubbed the tip of his dick against your clit and you groaned at the sweet friction, lifting your pelvis to align your entrance.
“Jaebum,” you whined.
“It’s too bad,” he teased, slapping his dick roughly against your pussy. “I only reward good, honest girls. You weren’t very honest today, were you?”
You whimpered, biting at your lip in agony as you shook your head.
He smirked, watching you squirm underneath him. “Be honest with me then. Since when did you start masturbating?”
“Jaebum, please!” you urged, trying to press your entrance harder against him. At the same time, your whole face blushed red at the question and it only urged Jaebum to tease you more.
He leaned away, squeezing your thigh harshly. “Y/N,” he warned.
“16!” You finally answered, hands flying to your face in embarrassment. “After a friend told me she got eaten out for the first time I went back home and fingered myself while imagining it was her boyfriend’s tongue.”
Jaebum bit at his lip, running his thumb across your clit. You sighed into his sweet touch. “That’s a good girl. Now tell me when did you start thinking of me?”
You groaned, feeling him press his tip to your entrance again as he swirled his thumb deliciously against your nub. “A-As soon as I saw you.”
You flushed, hiding your eyes behind the crook of your arm as you confessed. “After the first lecture, I waited until Lina fell asleep and I made myself cum while thinking about you.”
Jaebum groaned. “You naughty girl, you’re getting more wet just talking about it.”
You looked up at him again with a whimper. “Please, Jaebum, please I want you inside me.”
“Fuck,” was his only answer before he pressed his cock into your entrance, sliding slowly into your heat until you were filled to the brim.
“Oh god,” you sighed when he stilled inside you. You looked up to see Jaebum’s eyes squeezed tight, his muscles tense above you. After so much teasing, you realized he was just as much desperate for you as you were for him. You could feel him shiver against you.
“You’re so fucking tight,” he groaned, his body leaning down on yours as he nuzzled his face into your neck, lips sucking softly at your sensitive skin.
“Mm,” you whimpered, arching into him. “Jaebum.”
You felt him breathe loudly into your neck before he started moving, sliding his cock out until it was just the tip before slamming roughly back into you.
“Oh, Jaebum!” You moaned, hands coming to the back of his head, clutching at his hair as he continuously slammed his hips over and over into you.
You arched your hips, meeting his thrusts desperately as you felt the pleasure building in your core.
“Please don’t stop, Jaebum,” you begged, feeling yourself begin to squeeze around him.
He answered with a sloppy kiss to your lips, groaning into your mouth as he quickened his pace.
“Fuck,” he moaned, feeling you squeeze around him. “You feel so fucking good, Y/N.”
“Mm,” you muffled against him, pressing your lips to his throat. You sucked at his skin, relishing in the way his moans vibrated against your lips. Just the feeling of his deep groans vibrating from his throat was enough to make you lose it.
You moaned into your kisses as his thrusts became sloppier and more urgent.
“Oh god, Jae—” you clutched tighter around his neck, the pleasure tightening in your core. “Please don’t stop.”
Jaebum answered with faster thrusts, hitting your g-spot each time and sending electric shocks of pleasure throughout your body.
“Mm, Jaebum!” you moaned before the pleasure building in your core finally snapped, sending a shock of white heat throughout your body.
“F-fuck,” Jaebum stuttered, feeling you clench around his cock. He thrusted into you roughly a few more strokes, teasing out your high until he was spilling hot spurts of white inside you.
You sighed into the crook of his neck as you felt the final waves of his orgasm twitching inside you.
“Wow,” you breathed out.
You felt Jaebum chuckle against you before he pulled out, flipping over to your side.
“That was…wow,” you whispered, a dreamy smile on your face.
Jaebum grinned, turning on his side to look at you. He smirked, “I think that’s the most honest you’ve been all night.”
You chuckled, rolling your eyes. You pressed a gentle kiss to his throat before resting your head over his chest. You let out a satisfied hum, feeling the steady rhythm of his heart against your ear.
“Can I be more honest then and tell you I want another round tonight?”
Jaebum smiled, running his fingers through your hair softly. “Oh no worries, sweetheart. The whole house is going to find out you’re not a virgin by the time I’m finished with you.”

7, 8, 9, 16 and 17 for the asks game would you kindly? ( if its a bit much jst answer whichevr u wnt, srry fr th big request!!! )
*wrestling announcer voice* HELLLOOOOOO V!!!!! fam do not apologize i literally love answering these asks with my entire heart so im SO HAPPY you asked a whole bunch!!! i hope your life is popping off and if not, i hope you’re at least taking care of yourself today :) 
7. Something you hate to see in dialogue.
thank you v for giving me the opportunity to legally complain on main. i think the absolute biggest sin i see in dialogue is dialogue that sounds like anyone else could be saying it. dialogue that’s so bland and dull that it doens’t even matter who’s speaking because it’s so devoid of personality that literally anyone else could be saying these words. while i hate mischaracterization, there’s nothing worse than someone who doesn’t even try to characterize their characters, especially in fanfiction. 
and also poor grammar, but i’m more lenient on that because some people use fanfiction to practice english and i would never berate people if that’s the case. 
8. Something you love to see in dialogue.
on the flip side of things, when you can feel that the author knows what they’re doing with these characters that it bleeds into the dialogue is just the best shit ever. dialogue that flows and it feels so genuine. dialogue that reflects the dynamics of the characters is just *chef’s kiss*. ive yelled about it so much but i love love love character dynamics with my whole being and i always try to do my best and focus on character dynamics everytime i write a fic, but i’m still practicing. oh and this is completely stupid but i’m obsessed with dialogue from the fast and furious series LMFAO sorry i just needed to mention that. writing blinding lights, whenever i needed to hype myself up i literally watched scenes from the fast and furious movies. 
9. What’s your fandom’s most overused trope?
fantastic question op (can i say that?? are you the OP in this case or is it me? whatever). hmm crossovers? that’s a big one. getting together fics are fantastic, but sometimes i just want to read some good established fic (but this is the case for every fandom, in my humble opinion). another one is soft!goro but i won’t get into that too much lest i get stoned on the cross hehe. (but goodness me i have so much to say about akechi, but that’s another thing). OH and a few people brought this up, but ann being being used as the ‘love doctor’ friend trope isn’t the most overused one but it’s common. it’s a shame!! 
16. What’s the most ridiculous thing you’ve done to put off actually writing?
getting a university degree
no but really, i love writing. if anything, i write to get away from doing other things! writing is something i love to do and its never been something i procastinated in doing. i’m not working towards a novel or being commissioned or anything, so whenever i write i guarantee you that i wanted to write it. fanfiction is a labor of love! if you take away the love then...i guess it’s just labor? the only time i excused writing in recent memory is that i was at the point where my wrist hurt so bad (i write all of my fics by hand first) that i considered going to the drug store to buy one of those wrist things (i didn’t since i could spend that money doing other things instead), and that’s the only time i put writing off. 
17. How are you procrastinating today?
great question. i am procrastinating by answering this ask and talking to @mad4turtles. i have a crap ton of linguistics assignments to do that’s due tomorrow but i saw this ask and it cheered me up so here i am answering it! thanks for helping me procrastinate king 
hope you’re okay with how lengthy this answer was, hehe. thank you again!!

soulmates? (oh my god they were soulmates)
(im so sorry this took me a hot second. i’m also sorry this is a bit of a meme/crackfic. probably not what you were expecting, but definitely something i’m here to offer. i blame the discord for encouraging me.)
(the following fic is like, a vague rated M/E. depends on how you rate.)
Everyone’s who’s got magic has got a soul mark.
For some, it’s easy to find. Handprint on their neck, on their cheek. Commonly on their hands, or forearms, while for others, it’s more hidden. Penny’s got two, laying right on her sides. She showed me once, back in fifth year, where her’s is.  They perfectly fit Micah’s palms.
Then there’s people like Baz, whose mark I’d first caught when he thought I was asleep and he’d just gotten out of the shower, having forgotten a change of clothes and letting his towel hang around his hips.
His mark is a single palm pressed to his lower back, settling along the sloping, intimate curve right above his bum.
We all know what it means. Everyone knows what it means.
The slightly off-fleshy pigmented print is wherever your soulmate’s touching you when they first tell you they love you. Whether a light brush, or a firm grip, it fills in where their skin meets yours. Down to the lines of their palms.
For some it’s platonic–a matching one with your best friend, with palms pressed together or hands around shoulders. For others, it’s clearly romantic.
Which is, probably, why I can never stop thinking about mine.
Because it’s around my dick.
Which is something I never really put on full blast, and only two people know–Penny and Agatha.
Penny’s the first person I’ve ever told, after having told her for a while “It’s under my clothes”. But, eventually (as in, when I started dating Agatha), she’d asked me if we “Tested it”.
I asked her what “Tested it” implied, and she gave me a funny look.
“You haven’t tried to put her hand on your mark?”
That brought a load of other questions, partially narrowing down to “Is this cheating?”, then going to “Nah. If it fits, it’s right”, but then the panic set in of knowing Agatha would have to touch my prick, so I’d blurt out an answer right there.
“But we’re not there yet!”
Penny gave me a weird look, followed by me trying to explain as quietly as possible, that my mark isn’t somewhere… normal.
She just looked my trousers, and burst into laughter.
Really helped my confidence there.
But, of course, eventually we had to test it (and it wasn’t the sexiest of tests either). See, Aggie’s mark is one of those brushing marks–the nondescript, light though of fingertips to her knuckles on each side. When we were 14, I caught myself staring at them during dinner every night for a week, wondering how it’d happen. I came to the conclusion, eventually, that it was most probable that someone would be brushing their hands over hers, probably as she’s holding something, like a mug, while saying it.
Intimate, but not in my way. The sort of intimacy you’d get from late night conversations.
Mine’s the unavoidable intimate. The kind where I know we’ll be more than just friends.
Which is why it wasn’t until our Christmas that we tried.
It was in her room, late on Christmas night. We were a bit tipsy, and she was smiling more than I’ve seen her smile in over a year or so.
She’d told me, then that she’s never seen my mark. I told her it depends on a lot. She laughed, and said “What? Our virginity?”
I didn’t laugh back.
Then the room got silent. Nothing beyond the soft crackle of her fireplace before she giggled again, eyes wide at me. “Does this mean?”
“It’s on my prick, yeah. We’d have too…”
Long story short, with a lot of fumbling and awkward stares, we’d realized pretty soon that it was definitely too big of a hand to be her’s.
We broke up the next week. Nothing too emotional–it was understood on both ends. She said she didn’t want to drag us out, and I said I didn’t want to force it if it isn’t fate.
Baz made jokes when we’d split. Said I’m probably mark-less, since I’m Normal born, but I’d shot back that I hadn’t seen his either (I did), so he must be mate-less. His lips twitched, as he snapped off, telling me it’s hidden (I knew) before dropping the conversation entirely.
Two things came about that experience. One, that it’s definitely a larger hand (not particularly guaranteed that it’s a man’s hand, but I have a sneaking suspicion that a bit too big to not be). (Okay yes. It’s bigger than my hand. I’ve checked, with a bit of awkward repositioning of my own hand, and whoever’s it is is probably taller than me. Or just has longer fingers. Or maybe I just have small-ish hands?) Two, that it probably isn’t something I’d particularly want to test.
That is, unless I’d want to invite all the blokes I know over to put their hands on my prick.
(Probably should dabble in the idea that this might make me a bit gay, but that’s a thing I thought not to focused on too much.)
From that point I’d let it slip my mind.
Recede back to where everything else I’d rather not think of sits–nestled between where Watford has come to sit, along with memories of The Mage. I’d much less forgotten about it rather than ignored it, figured it wasn’t worth thinking of.
Even when I got with Baz, we decided not to test it. Neither of our marks.
Not until this morning, when he went to leave for class with a quick peck to my cheek. I’d turned, settling a hand to the small of his back as he spun around to meet me, and hummed a content “I love you, be safe” without really thinking.
We usually just say “Love you”.
I don’t know what came over me for the extra “I”, but I suppose I’d felt it today.
Then is when he promptly froze, staring at me wide-eyed and opened mouth as it hit both of us where my hand is. Where I was holding.
He, to an odd expected relief, didn’t say it back then.
He just murmured a quiet “Love you” before practically running off with a dazed look across his face.
Which is where we’re left now.
Me, waiting at Penn and I’s flat.
Baz, bringing take out for dinner.
And nothing on my mind but my prick, sadly. And it’s in the least-sexual way.
We haven’t quite broken this boundary. Nine months in. Usually, I’m not in the mood (it’s been hard to find any mood recently), or he’s too tired from classes (he began some in early summer), or he’s worried his fangs will pop and… It’s always something. We joke about it, and it isn’t like we haven’t seen each other naked, it’s not something we’ve found a proper way to break through.
But I guess this means we should figure it out today.
I startle a bit when I finally hear him, letting himself in with his key. He greets me with a kiss to my hair, unnervingly silent as he goes to unpack our food.
“So…”
“We don’t need to talk about it.” He’s got his voice his usual icy-flatness, gaze dragged over to me and looking borderline tired. I wonder if he just doesn’t have the energy.
“Do you not want to?”
“I didn’t say that.”
“Looks like you don’t.”
He looks over at me, then sighs. “No…”
“Then just tell me if you don’t want to. It’s fine, I’m partially a grown up.” I sit up more. “There’s a lot to process.”
I watch as he drops his hands onto the countertop, gaze studying over the bag as he does his usual, you know, thinking before he speaks (wonder what that’s like). It’s a few seconds before he finally starts, eyes still locked on what’s below him. “It’s not just the action of it. It’s the premise. It’s… knowing something I was scared of being wrong, and the standing fear that–” he tries not to sound choked. He tries so hard, but I can hear it. The small catch in his voice. “That it isn’t right.”
I try to sit up and move towards him, but he shakes his head and exhales.
“If you want to test it, Snow,” he mumbles. “Then we can test it.”
“I…”
“What?”
I bite my lip. “Well, I’m the first one who said ‘I love you’, didn’t I?”
“Yes.”
“Then what makes you think my mark doesn’t match your hand?”
He shrugs. “The constant denial of it for years? The hopefulness I’ve held since you and Wellbelove broke it off–”
I can’t take his moping anymore. Really, I can’t. I spring up from the couch and march over just to snog him silent, nudging him up against the fridge doors as he relaxes and kisses me back. And holds onto me. And keeps me snug, letting me rub my hand over his lower back, feeling safely assured that yes, my hand most definitely does fit there.
“Simon–”
I break us apart, nudging our foreheads together as I shake my head. “Nuh-uh. Nope. Don’t.”
“But…”
“I know you’re the one, Baz. Why else would I put up with you?”
He starts to smile, trying to stop himself before it spreads out to an actual, normal sort of grin, settling his head back against the fridge. “Yes, well,” he chuckles breathily. “Feelings mutual.”
I grin, kissing his cheek and shifting our hips. “What feeling?”
He quirks a brow. “You know I can’t say it.”
“Well, you can. You’ve just gotta put your hand in my trousers.”
He scoffs, still grinning. “You’re ridiculous, Snow.”
“It’s not me!” I laugh back, “It’s the universe telling you to touch my dick!”
“Fuck the universe.” His hand catches on my chest, starting to drag down in a mind twistingly, unfairly teasing way.
“Bold words for someone complying,” I whisper heavily, tugging him closer as he pushes away my waistband.
His fingertips settle against the exposed bit of skin before starting to sink deeper. “It’s not being complicit,” he purrs back, “if it’s something I want.”
I practically moan, skin tingling as he slowly takes grip of me, and making my knees wobble. “Baz…”
“I love you.”

Into jauneverse
*during a bright day, RWBY and JNPR were walking back to beacon after watching a movie in the theaters*
Ruby: that movie was so awesome!
Weiss: it was...enjoyable.
Yang: having spruce willis in the cast is already guaranteed fun for me.
Blake: since you love explosions right?
Nora: what's wrong with explosions? I love explosions! They make me happy!
Ren: i don’t think she was talking to you nora.
Jaune: soo...did you liked the movie?
Pyrrha: yeah, it was really fun. I didn’t knew action movies could be so funny like that.
Jaune: that's because we’re huntsmans, we’re used to real danger so whatever we see in these action movies looks more like comedy, if you we’re in spruce willis’ role the movie would’ve ended by the first act.
Pyrrha: yeah...i mean, you saw how many guys he fought in only one scene by the middle of the movie, why was it so hard to deal with three of them at the beginning?
Jaune: i have no idea.
Pyrrha: neither i do.
Jaune: ...so, there’s a marathon of spruce willis marked for tonight, we could use one of the common rooms to make some popcorn and watch all night long, i don’t think it's going to be a problem since tomorrow is sunday.
Pyrrha: that sounds lovely, although i think the couches from the common rooms are to small for all of us.
Jaune: *blushing a bit* actually...i was thinking if we could watch alone...i mean...you and i.
Pyrrha: *blushing* o-oh...right…
Jaune: i-its too weird right? Forget it, forget that i said anythi-
Pyrrha: no! T-there’s no need for that, i really like the idea.
Jaune: really?
Pyrrha: *nods*
Jaune: *with a dumb smile* o-okay then, once we get back i’ll prepare the popcorn, the blankets and the-
???: NOT SO FAST FAKER!!
RWBY/JNPR: *stops*
Jaune: ...wait, who said that?
Pyrrha: *looking around* i don’t knoOOHH!! *gets picked up*
Jaune: PYRRHA!!!
???: *tries to leap away*
Pyrrha: *breaks free falling back on her feet* who are you and what do you wa- *freezes staring at jaune, clad in a white armor with blue details and a blue cape* w-wha...jaune?
Knight jaune: *holds her hand with a charming smile* yes my lady? Tell me what do you want i’ll go through hell to make your wish come true.
Pyrrha: *blushing* w-what? Jaune, w-what happened to y-
Jaune: pyrrha!
Pyrrha: *looks back at jaune, standing besides her friends with his normal clothes* eh!? Wait. *looks back ahead to see jaune in armor* what? *looks back again to see normal jaune* w-what is going on? Why there is two jaunes?
Knight jaune: the explanation is simple my lady, that man is a faker using my appearance to try and steal you away from me. *now holding both of her hands with a determined expression* but i promise you my lady, i won’t let anyone get in the way of our love.
Pyrrha: *blushing again* l-love!?
Jaune: hey! I'm not a faker, let pyrrha go!
Knight jaune: i can’t do that faker! This lady has a place inside my heart, and i won’t let anyone steal her from me!
???: are you sure about that?
Pyrrha: AHH! *feels a rope wrap around her waist before getting yanked back* oof! *lands into something soft and looks up to see jaune, now wearing a large hat with a feather, an eyepatch and buccaneer clothes* w-what? Jaune?
Pirate jaune: hehehe, correct milady. I hope you don’t mind me stealing you for a bit, your heart is a treasure way too precious for me to let it in the hands of these bilge rats.
Pyrrha: *blushing again* m-my heart is what?
Pirate jaune: *with a charming smile* an treasure that not even all the gold in the sea could buy milady.
Pyrrha: *blushes deeply*
Knight jaune: TAKE YOUR DIRTY HANDS OFF MY LADY YOU PIRATE SCUM!!
Pirate jaune: never! An true pirate will never let anyone take his treasure away so easily.
???: then you better think fast.
Pirate jaune: wha- *looks around trying to find pyrrha* where did she go!?
???: right here.
Pirate/Knight jaune: *looks back to another jaune, this one was composed by robotic parts until his jaw*
Cyborg jaune: hey there pyr, sorry i was late for the party.
Pyrrha: *really confused* j-jaune?

Pyrrha: *blushing yet again*
Pirate jaune: *drawing his sword* you better give her back to me before i feed you to the sharks!

25 Solgrace and 109 Solackson! THANK YOU! :D
okay first of all: this is an absolute and utter mess. it took a turn at some point i didn’t bargain for and im not sure its for the better lol.
second of all, I am so tempted to give the idea those prompts gave me what they deserve by actually writing a decent longer fic of a few chapters at least but… im not sure thats going to happen. i have a lot of feelings about the au i had in my head while writing this and I... want... to ... so badly....
Solgrace  - longdistance relationship kept alive through disgustingly cute snapchats au
Solackson – fell in love while backpacking acrossEurope together
Will had never seen a real castle before. Hiking upthe hill, spying the pale towers and high walls through the trees, Will findsit hard to breathe as awe fills him. As far as castles went it wasn’t that big,or that old, but before coming to Europe Will had considered a hundred years tobe an unimaginably long time, so this definitely didn’t fail to impress him.
He adjusts the straps of his backpack to stop themfrom digging into his shoulders and continues on his path. It’s still early,but Will doesn’t want to waste any time that he could spend exploring thisbeautiful place instead. The sun is just starting to filter through the clouds,bathing the view in a fairy tale light.
The road is empty, maybe because of the early hour orWill choosing to walk the path most people just take by car. It’s peaceful andWill could lose himself in it – almost does, when suddenly the noise of a bikeapproaching rips him out of his thoughts.
He half turns where he stands, unable to help hiscuriosity. The bike is coming racing up the hill, with a lot more ease thanWill’s slow hike, but instead of zinging by, the stranger stops his bike rightnext to where Will has stopped in his step.
 The motor shuts off, the quiet returning as Willwatches silently while the stranger removes their helmet – revealing a mop ofmussed black hair and a pair of bright green eyes. He’s gorgeous, Will catches himself thinking and only just stops himselffrom staring with his mouth half open.
 “You going up to the castle?” The guy asks him,English with a distinctive New York accent even though they are standing on aroad in France.
 Will blinks slowly, just processing for a second, butthen he nods slowly. The stranger grins at that, and Will ignores the way thatsight makes him feel. It’s bad news, in more ways than one.
 “Me too. You want a ride?” The offer is casual, nonchalant,and the smile on the stranger’s face is genuine enough that Will wants tobelieve he’d have offered this to anyone found hiking up the same trail. “Thename’s Percy, by the way.”
 ~*~
Somewhere along the way, Will actually picks up some French.It’s not a lot, and he keeps getting it mixed up with the Spanish he’d learnedin high school, but it comes in helpful more often than not. The people seem toappreciate Will trying more than anything – and if whispering some words toJason on the phone makes the other all flustered, that’s just a bonus.
 Will is in the empty hostel kitchen – up early to beable to chat to Jason before he goes to bed – taking a snap of himself with bedhair and sleepy eyes, dressed in only one of Jason’s jersey’s and a pair ofboxers. He knows exactly how much Jason loves seeing Will wear his clothes,especially when they’re apart, and there’s little else he can do to feelconnected when they’re on different sides of the world.
 It’s only when Will lowers the phone to type out amessage that he sees Percy in the background of the photo, walking by andsticking his tongue out – even more sparsely dressed than Will. It shouldn’tsend a rush through Will’s body, but he can’t help it either way. For a second,Will considers retaking the photo, then shakes his head and sends it as it is.
There is nothing to hide there, and Will doesn’t likethe implication that comes with keeping Percy and Jason oblivious to each other’sexistence.
 It’s not even a minute before he gets a snap return,although the photo is dark, Jason already curled up in their bed at home withglasses perched on the bridge of his nose.
 “Is that the guy you’re pretending not to moon over?”reads the caption and Will blushes darkly before quickly swiping the photo awayand with it all evidence of Jason catching on to Will’s unsubtle crush.
~*~
 After France, they cross through Belgium into theNetherlands. Will isn’t sure when or how they’d decided to travel together fromthere on out, but Will doesn’t find it in himself to protest or complain. He enjoysPercy’s company too much to walk away from it when there’s no need to – andthings have become a lot easier than they were when he was still all byhimself.
It’s still a while before he’s flying back home – backto Jason – but Will can squash any pesky feelings and attachments down untilthen. It’s not like Percy has shown any interest anyway and Will tells himselfthat it’s not just because he knows Will is already taken.
 When they decided to stay in Amsterdam for remainderof the month, in a tiny rented apartment in De Pijp that a friend of Percy’s gotthem into, Will hadn’t realised just how much harder ignoring his affectionwould become.
It was one thing to be out and exploring with Percy,to see the cities and cites and landscapes they travelled through, and to crashinto a shitty hostel bed at the end of the day amongst six or more other travellers.It was something entirely different to be living together in a place that wasessentially their own for the time being, with no one to disrupt and distractfrom whatever was or wasn’t going on between the two. The way things are going,Will isn’t sure he’ll make it to the end of the month.
 “Hey…”
Will looks up from the window he’d been standing by,brooding. Percy is close, one hand half reached out to Will’s arm buthesitating to touch without permission.
“Are you alright?” He asks, and now Percy’s concern showsclear on his face.
Will opens, then closes his mouth. He isn’t sure howto even begin answering this if he doesn’t want to lie, and most of the time,Percy can tell if he isn’t honest to begin with.
“Just thinking.” Will says, trying to avoid thequestion. It’s not quite like he can tell Percy that it’s killing him how muchhe wants to kiss his dumb face, or that despite Jason’s permission(encouragement even) Will can’t bring himself to because there is no way thatwouldn’t end in heart break.
 Will wouldn’t be flying home until Christmas, and heknows that Percy has no plans to return any earlier than that. Even before Willhad left North America, long before Percy stumbled into Will’s life, Jason andhe had decided to open up their relationship for whatever more they might find along the way. The problem now isn’t that Willcannot or should not give whatever he was feeling for Percy a try – the problemis that he isn’t sure that after once he’d had a taste of it, he’d ever be ableto let it go again.
Percy hands comes to rest on Will’s arm after all, andafter a second, pulls him close against his side. All Will can do is clench hisfists at his side so he doesn’t just melt into the embrace.
“Homesick?” Percy asks, and while that isn’t far off,it’s the entirely wrong conclusion.
“I guess so.” Will replies even so. He does missJason, and their friends, but that’s not what gnawing at him at the moment.
“You’ve always got me here.” Percy says gently andwhen Will looks up at him, there is a small, almost shy smile on Percy’s face. “Forwhat it’s worth.”
Will doesn’t answer, just studies Percy’s face foranother moment before finally giving in and allowing himself to lean into thehug.
“It’s worth more than you think.” He whispers, voicesmall. Will isn’t sure he even wants Percy to hear, and if Percy has, he doesn’tsay anything in response.
~*~
“New York isn’t that far.” Jason tries. His voicesounds distorted over the phone, but Will has gotten used to that by now.
He’s sitting on the balcony, looking down at theslowly emptying street of Amsterdam. It’s a warm evening, one of the last fewbefore fall will properly set in. Percy is out – Will isn’t entirely surewhere, but he’s grateful for the privacy of this conversation.
“It’s on the other side of the country, Jason.” Hereplies and even to his own ears, Will sounds like a kicked puppy. “And evenso, who says he’d even want to see me again once this is all over?”
This isn’t the first time the thought has crossed Will’smind, and it’s the one that’s holding him back the most. Even if Percy wouldwant him now, for the convenience or thrill of it, there is no guarantee he’llhave any interest in Will once they are both going back to their lives. Willcan’t get into this just for his heart to be broken.
“Why wouldn’t he?” Jason says, always the voice ofreason. “Baby, anyone would be lucky to have caught your attention like that.And you’ve stuck together this far, why should that change?”
Will huffs. Jason doesn’t get it, not quite, and Willisn’t sure he could explain it properly even if he tried.
“It’s convenient now, there is no one else.” Willsays. He doesn’t hear the apartment door unlock, despite the exit to thebalcony wide open behind him.
“We’re friends because it makes sense for now. Theclosest we’ve got to home over here and it’s easier than traveling alone. If youreally think that’s going to last further than that, you’re even more naïve thanI thought.” He doesn’t mean the words to come out as spiteful as they do, buthe is scared of getting hurt, and he’s scared of admitting how much it alreadymakes him ache to know he is right.
Jason sighs exasperated. Sometimes Will wonders wherehe takes the patience from to put up with Will’s whining.
“That’s not true.” He says simply. “Give him morecredit than that, give your friendship more credit than that.”
Will scoffs. He’s bitter now, and there’s no stoppingthe words coming out of his mouth no matter how much he loathes them: “Thiswill be over the second I step onto the plane to come back to you. It meansnothing, not in the big picture.”
“Will, I know you don’t mean that –” Jason starts, butWill doesn’t hear him – only the soft creak of the balcony door, then the stepsas they hurry away. Will only catches a glimpse of Percy’s hurt expression, butit’s enough to shatter his own heart into a thousand pieces.
“Percy, wait!” He calls, already scrambling to hisfeet, cursing himself and all this, hanging up on Jason without another – he canexplain later, this is more important. Out of context, his words will havesounded even worse than Will meant them to be.
The front door slams shut before Will even getsinside, and he rushes to find his shoes and grab a jacket (it’s one of Percy’s,but Will doesn’t notice now) to follow. He calls out again into the hallway,hearing Percy’s feet running down the stairs, and they don’t stop at the soundof Will’s voice.
He almost falls over himself trying to get down thestairs as far as possible, and when he finally stumbles out onto the street,Percy is already halfway down the block.
“Please!” Will shouts, and he doesn’t care that he’smaking a scene, making the few people still around stop and stare at the sourceof the noise. “Percy, come on!”
Will catches up with Percy at the end of the road,facing one of the canals running through the city. He must have slowed down, orelse Will never would have been able to outrun him, and that’s all Will needsfor now.
 “I’m sorry, Percy, I’m so sorry.” Will pants as soonas he is close enough, out of breath from the race down the street. “It’s notlike it sounded, I promise.”
Percy doesn’t reply right away, but he turns around toface Will, arms hugged around his middle and eyes brimming with not yet shedtears. It’s like a stab to Will’s chest, knowing he is the reason for them.When he opens his mouth to speak, to explain, Percy shakes his head slowly.
“Nothing.” Is all Percy says at first, and the word chillsWill to the core. “That’s all, hm? Just…nothing.”
Will wants to cry. He should have seen this coming,but of course he didn’t. Shaking his head slowly first, then feverishly, Willtries to reach out to Percy only to have him step out of reach.
“No, no you got it all wrong.” He pleads and his ownvoice sounds more pained than he has any right being now. It’s not Percy whohas hurt him like Will had feared all along – he is the bad guy now. “It isn’tnothing it’s – ”
Percy doesn’t let Will finish. He barks a laugh,bitter and hurt and Will feels a tear spill down his cheek after all.
“Don’t” Percy says and his voice is as cold as ice. “Idon’t want you to tell me any lies, I’ve heard enough. I’m convenient andnothing more – should have known better than to make myself believe this meanssomething to you.”
He tries to turn away, leave Will with nothing butthis dismissal but Will can’t bring himself to let Percy go, not like this. Hereaches out, ignoring the way it hurts when Percy flinches away from his touch –but it makes the other stop long enough for Will to speak again.
“This, no, you- you mean so much to me.” He tries, but his voice breaks. This was not howWill had seen his confession going down, not that he had believed it to happenat all. “So much that is scares the shit out of me. I want this to be nothingbecause I can’t stand the alternative, that there’s something there that I canhave for a month only to lose it when you go back to your life and forget allabout the stupid boy you picked up on the side of some road.”
Will’s crying now, in the middle of the street,feeling like the single most horrible person on earth.
“Jason kept saying that I’m being stupid, but I couldn’trisk it and ruin all the good memories just because I couldn’t be content withwhat you gave already. I wanted it to be nothing because if it was something,then it was something I would lose.”
Will finally stops and Percy – Percy just stares athim. There is a wet track down his cheek where a tear has gotten away, but therest of his face is a stony mask. Will is sure he has ruined it for good now,that maybe having Percy believe Will didn’t care about their friendship wouldhave been better than letting him know how much deeper his feelings truly run.
Percy doesn’t say a single word, but he steps closer,into Will’s reach, then into his space. It seems surreal, like Will is watchingit happen from the outside rather than living in this moment. Hands cup hischeek, green eyes lock onto his own. Will thinks his heart has stopped, but hedoesn’t care, not now.
“And people tell me I’m oblivious.” Percy says quietlyand Will doesn’t catch onto what he’s trying to say until there is a pair oflips against his own.

can you recommend some soulmates au fics ?
Well, you should definitely start with our SOULMATES tag! After tag, check all these new recs we have for you (there are so many of them)!

SOULMATES
An Unpredictable Amount of Turtles by skoosiepants
Stiles says, “I have a five year plan. A five year plan to popularity that will tank the minute I meet this guy.”
“I feel like you’re exaggerating,” Scott says, but Scott has a katana-wielding badass waiting for him at the other end of the rainbow, and Stiles has terrariums.
Or—
A soulmate au with turtles and angst.
Honey, Can’t you See (The Bloodstains on my Teeth) by Loup_Aigre, TroubleIWant
“Mr Stilinski.” Deaton’s usually impassive face betrays a hint of surprise today, maybe even disappointment. “You haven’t changed your mind.”
Stiles tips his chin up, smiling against his irritation. “Nope,” he confirms, so cheerily it bites. They had arranged this weeks ago, yet Deaton was apparently betting Stiles wouldn’t go through with it in the end. Fuck that. He doesn’t know what it’s like out there, not really. He can afford to hold himself aloof and uninvolved, knowing his druid power is enough to keep him safe in this little office. Stiles can’t. Scott’s pack has got to protect this whole town, and Stiles’ spark isn’t enough to protect all of them while they do it.
The thing is, magic isn’t like the fairy tales. It’s blood and risk and sacrifice. Nothing comes without a price, and anyone who tries to say different is baiting a hook to gut you on. Stiles knows that, has known it since he was a kid and his mother started training him for the inevitable day when he’d need to fight for his life.
That day had come four years ago when she died, and it hasn’t stopped yet.
Of Soulmates, Pseudonyms and Misunderstandings by halcyon1993
Ever since he asked his mother one evening why she had his dad’s name tattooed on the inside of her left wrist, Derek has dreamed of finding his soulmate. There’s only one problem—the name that appears on his wrist on his eighteenth birthday is something he can’t even read.
Weave Soft Spells Over My Sight by AgnesBlue
Derek had blossomed steadily over the past year, growing into his ears and turning even more handsome, if that were possible. But instead of going out and melting the panties off the girls, suddenly he was coming to Stiles all bashed in, demanding that he patch him up like Stiles was some freelance nurse. It was a familiar pattern by now.
AU in which Stiles has been living with the Hales for a few years as their assistant and friend. He needs to deal with Derek, who keeps coming to Stiles with bruises and cuts to be treated, while trying to figure out what the elderly alpha of the Hale pack is up to.
Sometimes It Just Works by MellytheHun
“Fic where, in a fit of post-break-up, drunken depression, stiles throws together a truly pathetic love spell (really, Lydia would be so unimpressed she’d probably disband their weekly magic lessons) in an attempt to find the perfect partner.
But, like everything else in Stiles’ life (and as proof to how much joy the universe gets pulling one over on him) everything goes horribly wrong and instead of the feathery light, rose petal path he’d been expecting to appear and lead him to his true love, a half naked man with harlequin biceps and a beard that could rival most lumber jacks appears in his minimalist studio apartment looking grumpy and endearingly confused.
Cue Stiles’ imminent freak out that includes shoving the man in his hall closet because “Oh my god, I manifested a burly mountain man out of thin air!!”
When really, the spell had just transported Derek from whatever secluded cabin he’d been holed up in for the last few years right into Stiles’ life.”
all else perished by keskasi
There are only so many times a person can fall before the world becomes a vertical blur. Life, Stiles has found, is much the same way. There are only so many times a person can be born, live, and die before the epochs start to smear into one long, eternal day. Or night, as the case may be.
soulmates tbh series by bleep0bleep
Stiles is probably the world’s greatest cynic about soulmates. He couldn’t care less, except that he’s just found his.
Your Mark on my Skin by afullrevolution
Everyone had a mark scrawled somewhere across their body. A name, usually a signature to represent their soul mate, their one and only true love. Stiles has known who his mark belonged to since the third grade. He doesn’t understand how Derek can be so oblivious.
i feel you in every heartbeat by warlocks
Suddenly his entire body felt tingly and sensitive and he could swear gravity had failed on him just then; he couldn’t feel the chair he was sitting on, or where he’d planted his feet on the floor, or the clothes he was wearing, or the pen he was holding, and then his vision started blurring and morphing into a picture of some place that was not his classroom.
“Oh, shi—”
“—it,” he finished with a different voice.
Or, the AU in which, on their 22nd birthday, a person will switch bodies with their soulmate and is left to figure out whom they’re temporarily inhabiting, and how to get back to each other. But because Stiles is Stiles, he forgets that it’s his birthday, and the bodyswap takes him by surprise.
Soul-Mark by PaigeRhiann
His wolf purrs happily because it has taken eighteen years and getting his family killed to finally discover the name of his promised. The person he’s destined to be with. Or, as Werewolves call it – Mate.
“Genim S.” He repeats
“That’s a really fucking weird name” Laura snorts, turning back to the movie.
“Yeah, it is” he nods.
And I Never Thought I’d Ever Say Forever by suchfun
“That was stupid.” He bats the kid’s hands away and rearranges the items in the bag. He’s mixed canned goods and dairy, does this kid even know how to efficiently pack a bag? “The TiMER is a gift.” He says it automatically, because that’s what his mom says. That’s how he was brought up. That’s what he’s supposed to think.
He used to believe it, back when he was sixteen and idealistic, before he actually got his TiMER, back when he was so sure that his soulmate would be Paige. Back when he believed in the romcoms, in his mom’s books, in the elaborate advertisements for TiMERs—the ones with all the interviews with loving real life couples, with testimonials to their effectiveness and their ability to make you happy and fulfilled, with guarantees of an improved quality of life and even life expectancy. Back when he thought meeting his soulmate was an inevitability, not a slim possibility.
Colors by PencilTrash
Soulmates AU: When soulmates visit the same place on the same day, they can see color in the places where the other has been. It allowed you a world full of color for one single day. A day.The universe was cruel like that.It gave soulmates a single day to find each other and seal the bond between them permanently or the color would vanish forever… and so would the bond.
(im)Perfect System by theroguesgambit
Stiles has always felt pretty lucky about his soul mark. After all, how many conversations tend to start with “This is private property”?
(Apparently more than you’d think.)
Countdown by actingup
0000d 00h 00m 37s
He always imagined meeting his soul mate would take forever; that time would slow down and he would see them walking towards him, he would know without a doubt who it was. It might have been someone he’s seen before but never talked to, or it might be a complete stranger that he never would have guessed. He didn’t imagine it in front of about a hundred people, maybe two-hundred, at a Dolphin show.
Soulmate - Delayed Reaction by Verya
When a person turns eighteen their soulmates first words to them appear on the inside of their dominant wrist. Of course it had to be the week when Stiles broke his hand!
Mental Synchronization by kits_lightning
“All at once everything is different, now that I see you
Now that I see you.”
Stiles ended with jazz hands and Scott laughed and took the seat across from him.
“Keep laughing, buddy. I haven’t forgotten Isaac’s two month obsession with Taylor Swift before you two met.”
“We agreed never to bring that up again.”
~*~*~*~*~*~OR the Soulmate AU where you sing when you’re soulmate does.
i carry your heart with me (i carry it in my heart) by yodasyoyo
Stiles is six years old when he first hears Derek’s voice in his head.
Or what happens if you have a soulmate bond, in a universe where soulmate bonds don’t exist?
Second Chances by rootbeer
“A lot of times the ‘markings’ were common, simple things you said to strangers all the time. ‘Excuse me’; 'thank you’; 'hello’. Some got extremely romantic things like 'it’s you isn’t it? I’ve been waiting for you’ or 'Wow you’re really pretty’. And they were always the first words their soulmate would ever say to them.
Of course, having 'You are the fucking worst kind of person in the world’ tattooed down your side, didn’t bode well. How fucked up was Stiles Stilinski that even his fucking Soulmate hated him? High School had been a special kind of hell when all the kids learned what his tattoo said—despite his best efforts to keep it a secret.”
and i thought it only a dream by bleep0bleep
Derek only started getting the dreams a few years ago, and he knows what it means, his soulmate is younger than him. Laura teases him incessantly about it, but Derek doesn’t pay her any mind. The dreams are fuzzy at best, he only has a fleeting glimpse of plaid shirts and laughter and a pink mouth.
As Laura and he start on their roadtrip back to California from New York, the dreams start to get clearer. Every state they cross, Derek can see the outline of his soulmate get more defined, knows that he has brown eyes, a gorgeous smile and fluffy hair that looks soft to touch.

Let Me In
Tumblr media
MASTERLIST
Characters: Natasha x fem!reader
Summary: You’re an empath, able to feel, comprehend, and share in the complex emotions of those around you when you touch them. Natasha is the only member of the Avengers that you haven’t yet empathized with, mainly because she won’t let you. Even though Fury recommended you for the team for psychological aid, Nat refuses to let you touch her and you can’t help but wonder if there’s more to her coldness than what meets the eye.
Warnings: Insecure!natasha, angst, mentions of death, nightmares, making out, BAD EDITTING IM SO SORRY
Words: 2984
A/N: Okay seriously why do I never see any nat x fem!reader fics??? I decided to make one for your reading pleasure. So here. Enjoy.
Tumblr media
People were never a mystery to you. You could always make sense of them, because if given the opportunity, you could physically feel what they felt. 
You were an empath recruited by Nick Fury to help several members of the team deal with psychological trauma. It always helped people to know that they weren’t alone, he explained, and you could guarantee that there would always be someone out there who understood how they felt with just the simplest touch of the hand.
You had started out small, living in the avengers quarters and telling them all that you weren’t there to intrude and that you could only ever read them when you touched them, so they didn’t need to worry about you getting in their heads. 
You knew they were all uncomfortable with the idea of letting someone in to the degree that you were sent there for, but you guessed that in time, they might warm up to you.
It didn’t happen the way you envisioned, no it happened in a much more chaotic way than what you’d pictured. You were up one night reading quietly to yourself and sipping at a glass of water when you heard a cry come from the room next to yours; Bucky’s room.
You didn’t know him very well, all you knew was that he was the quietest out of all of the avengers, not that you minded. You knew his story, and you expected him to be the last to reach out to you, but this didn’t stop you from walking to his door and knocking on it to see if he was alright.
You didn’t hear a response, so you knocked again. This time instead of silence, there was another scream, so you twisted his doorknob and thrust the door open to see him trashing under his covers. A nightmare.
This you could fix. 
You tiptoed over, knowing how dangerous it would be to wake him. You hovered your palm over his sweaty forehead and took a deep breath. Empathizing with him was not going to be a cakewalk, and you knew it, but a man this tortured at least deserved rest.
You pressed your hand to his face, and instantly, your mind was flooded with gory and chaotic images. Your eyes instantly flooded with tears of horror, feeling just as panicked as Bucky did. 
“Get out.” You whispered to the nightmares that haunted Bucky, “Get. Out.”
And then, the images were gone. You watched Bucky’s face, which had once been contorted in pain, melt back into a peaceful expression.
You placed your hand on your chest and tried to slow your breathing. The nightmares that you saw were enough to make you want to sleep with the light on for the rest of your life.
Walking as quietly as you could back out of Bucky’s room, you hoped to God that he was able to get a good sleep tonight after who knows how many months of mayhem like what you’d witnessed. 
You closed your bedroom door behind you, not knowing that one Natasha Romanoff has seen the entire exchange from across the hall.
When Natasha saw Bucky the next morning, she barely recognized him. He looked so different without the bags under his eyes from sleep deprivation.
“Buck, you look... well rested.” Steve remarked.
“I slept well.” Bucky stated, as confused as anyone else.
“I wish I could say the same.” You walked into the kitchen, looking like absolute hell. 
To anyone else, it would have looked like you’d just had a terrible sleep, but Nat had seen something that the others hadn’t. She knew exactly why you hadn’t slept, she knew it was because you’d empathized with Bucky Barnes and taken away his terror at the cost of your own peace of mind just so he could sleep.
She felt something she thought she was incapable of feeling. She felt a connection to you, a strong one. She watched the way your shoulders tensed and you looked over at her with a confused look. Perhaps you’d felt her eyes on you, Natasha thought. But that wasn’t it at all, you were picking up on her emotion like a bloodhound. You felt it in the air without even laying a finger on her.
She darted her eyes back across the room, falling onto Bucky as she watched the way he interacted with Steve in a joking way, something she never thought she’d see before noon.
The other’s quickly began to confide in you, allowing you to empathize with them after particularly tough missions that left them in emotional tatters. 
Steve tried to explain Peggy to you, but you told him if you touched his arm you would actually feel how he felt. When you did, you cried for him, feeling the love and loss that ensued.
Clint let you in on his family life, and you felt how much he missed his children. You told him that you could feel his fierce love for them and that he should take comfort in the knowledge that they love him just as much.
Tony told you about his harbored feelings of hatred towards Bucky, that he was desperately trying to bury. You explained to him that he was just working through loss like anyone else would.
Everyone confided in you about different things, and you loved being able to help, to put a smile on their faces again, to be able to hug them and instill at least a little bit of brightness back into their day with the genuine knowledge that someone else knew how they felt.
Natasha was the only one who never let you in.
At this point, you’d developed a bit of a crush on the ex assassin, but who wouldn’t have? She was gorgeous and quick witted and fiercely smart, she was everything. You’d never really had much time to develop any sort of love for someone in your life, you were always too preoccupied with other’s emotions to hold such things in your mind, but this was different. You could feel yourself falling in love.
You wouldn’t admit it to anyone, hardly even yourself. The thing about being an empath is that everyone else lets you in, but you never return the favour. You, over time, became a closed book to the world.
An empath can use their powers in reserve if they’re powerful enough. This is to say that as much as you can share in the emotions of someone else through touch, they can feel yours as well through the same process - if allowed. But you never allowed it. It wasn’t your style to let people in, it was your style to be allowed in.
It was after one particular mission that you found yourself near furious that Natasha had yet to come to you. Barton had been seriously injured and was currently in surgery, long story short; it didn’t look good. When everyone got back to the compound, Steve explained to you that it had happened when Natasha was attaining the security files from the hard drive that they needed and she was furiously blaming herself for not being there to defend Clint.
You thought for certain you’d hear a knock at your door, you felt it in your heart that Natasha needed to confide in someone about this. You were the clear choice, it was your purpose to be there for the team, but after hours of waiting you realized that she wasn’t coming.
You were fuming, beyond annoyed that after everything she’d been through, after all the hell that she’d seen, Natasha Romanoff was too stubborn to let you in.
You marched to her room in a rage, banging on her door.
“Go away.” Was the rather curt response you got.
“It’s (Y/N).” You said.
And then you felt it again, that same feeling that you’d felt when you’d noticed her staring at you months ago after the Bucky incident. It was a connection, a looming anxiousness in the air that you couldn’t quite place.
“Let me in.” You said firmly.
“No.”
“Nat.” You pleaded.
“Go away.” She repeated, and with heavy feet and a crushed spirit, you obeyed.
You didn’t try to get Natasha to open up again, you figured it was hopeless. By this measure, you also gave up on your feelings for her, knowing that no matter how desperately you wanted her, you could never have her. How could you expect someone to care about you if they can’t even let you empathize with them. It simply wasn’t going to happen.
But that fact didn’t make your feelings go away, it only intensified them. Every time you saw her, your heart pumped faster, your legs went weak, your mouth would feel as if it were full of cotton.
The two of you never spoke to one another, she kept you at a firm distance so that she would never have to utter a word in your direction. It broke your heart to know she didn’t want you, but you chose to try your best to ignore it.
But no matter how much you would try to push her out of your mind, you could never shake that feeling, the one that you felt whenever you knew she heard your voice, or when she saw you enter the room for the first time. It was a constant with her, a constant that you couldn’t describe.
Natasha awoke with a start one night, sweat clinging to her body as she shot out of bed. Another nightmare, this one worse then the rest. This one hadn’t been a memory, this one was an entirely new scenario. In this horrifying dream, she’d witnessed you under the thumb of the red room, tortured for information while she sat and watched, unable to move. It truly was her worst nightmare, being unable to save you.
Little did she know that you woke up at the very same moment she did, having had a nightmare of your own. Feeling a fleeting sense of panic in your chest with only one person on your mind; Natasha. 
Your mind had conjured up the scenario of Natasha being forced back into her life as an assassin, forced back into the life she worked so hard to get away from. Forced to kill against her own will, forced to be something she wasn’t, forced into being the person that you knew she could never be again.
In your entire life, you’d never been more scared.
Your body compelled you to her door, and with a light tap, you whispered her name.
There it was again, the feeling surrounding you in a warmth and nervousness that you couldn’t place. She’d heard you.
“Natasha?” You asked again.
You heard her feet shuffled against the floor, so you knew she was in there and listening to you.
“It’s me.” You said, knowing she already knew.
“I know.” She whispered back, your heart racing at the sound of her voice.
“I need to see you,” You voice was hoarse, “Please, please, let me in.” A choked sob escaped your lips as you relived the images in your brain from moments earlier.
You heard her door click, and it swung open to reveal Natasha standing there, looking as if she were about to cry. You didn’t dare touch her, knowing that you empathic abilities were a strict no go zone with her. But you wanted to embrace her, to kiss her, to wrap her in your arms and never let her go.
“(Y/N).” She breathed out.
“I-I’m sorry, I just-” You couldn’t even explain yourself to her.
“Come in, I’ll get you a glass of water.” You followed her into her room and sat on her bed as she poured you some water from the sink in the bathroom.
She looked down at you for a moment, holding her glance on your face. She’d never seen something so beautiful in her life. She wanted to lean down and wipe your tears away, but she knew she couldn’t. She knew the moment she touched you, that you would feel how deeply in love with you she was, and she just couldn’t do that, not after being trained her whole life to accept love as a weakness.
You saw the look in her eyes, the look of desperation, the look of holding back, and it broke you. Your eyes filled with tears and everything that you’d been pushing down boiled over the surface. You sobbed, cried out for her as you collapsed to the floor.
It was all too much, everything you dealt with at the compound in combination with your unrequited love for the woman standing in front of you and the horrible nightmare you’d had about her being taken away. You couldn’t take it any longer; so you shattered in front of her.
Her instinct made her reach out for you, but she drew back. She couldn’t do it. She watched with a broken heart as you sobbed, brought to your knees in front of her.
You reached your hand up to her, “Please.” You choked out.
“I-I can’t...” She said, tears welling in her eyes.
“Reverse.” You said, “You f-feel wh-what I feel instead.”
This she understood, and this gave her the opportunity to comfort you without having to confront her own feelings.
She bent to kneel next to you, took a deep breath and placed her hands over yours.
Natasha had never had the wind knocked out of her quite like she did when she felt you like this. Her head swirled with fear, a chest tightening type of fear that you only felt with thinking about losing someone. She could hear your thought chanting over and over in her head.
Can’t lose Natasha, can’t lose Natasha, can’t lose Natasha.
Her heart pumped loud in her ears as she heard her name in your voice like a prayer. The person you were so worried about was Natasha, you were scared to lose her. She felt your stress about the others, and she felt how lonely you were being the only one without someone to confide in.
But above all, she felt an overwhelming love.
You whispered through tears, “Let me in, please let me in, Nat.”
Natasha tilted your chin up to look you in the eyes, the eyes that she was so desperate to know better than anyone else’s.
She glanced down at your lips, then met your gaze again. This was it, she either let you in, or she denied you in your time of need and shut you out forever.
She trusted her own primal instinct and kissed you passionately, your tongues molding together as your mind was flooded with everything in Natasha’s head that you waited so long for.
She held nothing back, from the horror of her nightmares of losing you that occurred almost every night, to her apprehension of letting you in, to the desperation of her love for you.
You felt her remember the night you went into Bucky’s room and you felt the way her heart raced, realizing that she was developing feelings for you.
Her voice said to you as you felt her hand slide up to your face to deepen the kiss in a mess of tongue and teeth. You’d never kissed anyone like this before.
Can’t love... weak...
Her thought were disjointed, like static on a TV set, she was defaulting to trying to shut you out.
“I love you.” You whispered between kisses, “Let me in again, please.” You pleaded with her as she pulled you up onto the bed again and pulled away from your lips, your empath bond broken as you both caught your breath, laying next to each other on top of the covers
You closed your eyes as more tears streamed down your face, knowing that there was a large chance she was going to ask you to leave, to reject you after allowing you in. Natasha was not one to bond with anyone, let alone and empath who had just professed her love.
“I don’t know how to.” She whispered, turning her body to face you.
Your eyes opened and you shifted on your side, just as she had, so you could look at her.
“I can teach you.” You caressed her cheek with your thumb, “But you can’t shut me out.”
Her eyes screwed shut at this and you took this as your cue to wrap your arms tightly around her and press your forehead against hers.
“You just need to trust me, and let me love you with everything I have.”
She began to cry, so you kissed her tears away, whispering to her that everything was going to be okay, that you were here with her until the end of time. 
She didn’t reply, she pressed kisses to your lips in large quantity, choosing to show you instead of tell you what she felt. But she knew you could feel everything that she felt for you, your touch like fire on her skin.
You pulled the blankets over you bodies and pulled her even closer to you, whispering thank yous to her between kisses, and promises of showing her that love is not weakness, that it takes strength to love.
You accepted all of her feverish kissing gratefully under in the warmth of her bed. Natasha had let you in, and as you felt her desperate love for you through touch, you allowed her to feel the same thing from you. 
You snuggled close to her, your eyelids closing when she finally had her fill of your lips. You felt her arms around you and your smile stretched across your face.
Just as Natasha was on the brink of sleep, she whispered, “I love you.”
You kissed her forehead sweetly, “I feel it.”

Fic: Fire and Freedom
Pairing: Stancest Rating: PG-13 for language and some implied sexy times, I guess ^^; Author’s Notes: Circus AU! This was written for the Stancest Discord server’s  scavenger hunt. I just wanted to say a quick shout out to my very talented teammates for making this event so fun and for being so kind! You’re all brilliant and I was so inspired by your lovely writing and art! :D And a hearty thank you to my beta team @yehvaru and @reinstotheworld, who made this legible! I know you’re both really busy, so it really touched me that you made time to look over my story and give me some feedback and encouragement. You two are the absolute best and I adore you both to the moon and back! :D <3
The link to this fic on AO3 can be found here.
                “Little shit!”
                Carla sighed heavily, eyes rolled up to the ceiling as if seeking divine patience. “Stanley, don’t start-”
                “‘He’s cheating! He’s behind a curtain! ANYONE could have got him out! You think that’s a good trick?’” Her companion continued on with his tirade in a squeaky, off-key parody of what she assumed was meant to be a child, if the child in question sounded like a leaky bike tire.
                 A leaky bike tire with a serious chain smoking problem.
                “Seriously, kid?” He continued arguing with his imaginary, tiny antagonist, weaving haphazardly through the throng of performers backstage preparing for their acts to start. Carla heaved a frustrated breath as she attempted to keep up, neatly dodging some acrobats and coming dangerously close to Ms. Petunia’s prized, trained poodle, Rex, earning her a vicious glare from the older woman. “Anyone could have gotten me outta handcuffs and a locked tank of water in the middle of a giant, empty stage?? The entire point is that I escape on my own!”
                “To be fair, the tank’s not really sealed as tightly as it looks, though,” Carla couldn’t help but point out, trying to take the wind out of his sails before he made it clear across the Atlantic Ocean fueled on spite alone.
                It seemed to work slightly, as far as distractions went, as Stanley’s steps did slow somewhat. “I know that, and you know that, but that’s not the point,” he growled, punctuating the end of his sentence with a few vicious stabs in the air with a pointer finger. “My job is to create an illusion that inspires ‘wonder’ and ‘the inner child’, and that real child is being a real asshole!”
                “Yeah, I see what you mean,” Carla replied dryly. “What child wouldn’t experience a sense of wonder watching a happy-go-lucky guy like you answer their innocent question with a ‘Bite me, kid!’?”
                Her companion narrowed his eyes in a mockingly fierce glare and put indignant hands on his hips as his body relaxed into a more playful posture. Bull-headed as Stan was, at least he could concede the point when he was being ridiculous. In his own, silent way, of course. “Yanno what? You can bite me too, Carla.”
                “Been there, done that, sugar,” she replied, patting him lightly on the shoulder as he grinned. She wrinkled her nose for effect as she added, “never again.”
                He burst into laughter, resting a hand over his heart. “You break my heart, McCorkle! Just like you did that night when you left me fer some clown!”
                She immediately shoved him in frustration, forcing more laughter out of him. “NO! It wasn’t funny the first fifty-thousand times you made that joke, and it isn’t funny now! Ugh, I can’t deal with you when you’re like this. Where’s your brother? Why isn’t he suffering you like the rest of us? FORD!” She yelled at a nearby camper, their original destination (Stanley’s destination was always Stanford), and relished the violent tremor that ran through it as she had no doubt startled Ford out of a deep focus.
                One chair scrape and several heavy, booted steps later, and the door to the RV swung open, revealing Ford’s perplexed face and emitting a faint scent of chemicals. He quirked a brow in Carla’s direction. “You bellowed?”
                She frowned at his word choice and crossed her arms defiantly, pointedly ignoring the sniggering coming from the manchild behind her. “You’re a fire tamer, right?”
                His brows scrunched together in a mild frown as he thought the question over. “I suppose you could call it that. But I prefer to say I work with fire-”
                “Deal with this,” she interrupted, grabbing a handful of Stan’s sleeve and dragging him over to his brother. “There was a rowdy kid and now he’s all riled up, and if you don’t take him now I’ll throw a knife at him and I can’t guarantee I’ll miss.”
                Stanford rolled his eyes as he stepped back to allow Stanley entry. “I’ll deal with it, but I can’t promise it’ll stay dealt with,” he countered, leaping back as Stanley laid a comically exaggerated and loud kiss to his cheek. “AGH! Stanley, what the hell?” he yelped, rubbing a hand up and down his cheek, face flushed and lips twisted into a grimace when his hand passed over saliva.
                “Thanks, bro,” Stanley said as he made his way cheerfully into their shared space. “I feel so loved!”
                Ford turned back to Carla, his expression deadpan. “Run, while you still can.”
                She laughed and punched him playfully on the shoulder. “Thanks. I owe you one.”
                “Oh, and Carla?” Stanley popped up over Ford’s shoulder, and that’s when Carla realized she had to leave now.
                “Gotta go, Stan! Talk to you later, ok?” she called over her shoulder as she swiftly turned around and began making her escape.
                “Oh! Ok. Could you just thank Thistle for me when you see ‘im?”
                …Damn him and damn her curiosity straight to hell. She turned around with what she hoped was an effective warning look. “Thank him for what?”
               Stan quickly held up his hands in a placating gesture. “Whoa! Hey! No need fer that! I just genuinely wanted to thank him for helpin’ me put away all my props ‘n stuff yesterday.”
               Carla could feel her shoulders returning to their more relaxed positions. That was actually… “…Thanks, Stan. I’ll tell him you said that.”
               He smiled. “No problem, Carla. I just wanted to make sure he knew I appreciated his kind jester.”
               There’s no way of knowing for sure, but it was generally accepted by everyone at the circus that day that the ensuing, aggrieved shriek could be heard the next city over.
               “We’re going to need hearing aids soon if you keep winding her up like that.”
               Stanley grinned mischievously from his place against the wall as he watched his twin fiddle around with his latest fuel-concoction. “That was a good one, wasn’t it? Even better than I hoped for!”
               Ford shook his head in exasperation as he continued with his work. “I honestly don’t know what you hope to achieve by bothering that poor girl. Didn’t she suffer enough as your girlfriend?”
              Stan barked out a laugh and pushed off the wall, coming over to Ford to wrap a hand around one shoulder as he leaned over the other to observe his twin’s progress. “Yanno, I’d clock you a good one fer that remark if it wasn’t dripping with jealousy.” He glanced to the side to look for Ford’s reaction and – there! A quick spasm of fingers around the beaker he was holding, a slight quiver of a pipette in a suddenly unsteady hand and a jaunty bounce of an Adam’s apple were all Stan’s to cherish; small pieces of evidence of his twin’s affection that he could collect like an emotional magpie, decorating his life with pieces of love and hoarding the warmth they brought him.
              “Who’s jealous?” Ford asked, in the most chalant-nonchalant sort of way. Stanley hoped he wasn’t sincerely trying to sound unaffected, because that would mean his brother was the worst liar in history and bullshit was basically their trade, so…not a good combination. “I just meant that perhaps you should…ease up a little. No person should be screaming that much, that regularly.”
               “No?” Stan asked casually, plucking the beaker and pipette out of Ford’s hands and setting them down safely out of harm’s way, as Ford avidly stared at the side of his head. “You couldn’t see any advantages to screaming loudly on a regular basis?” He continued his line of questioning, pulling out the chair Ford is sitting in and sitting down in the newly created space of his twin’s lap. He looped his arms around Ford’s neck, grinning in triumph as he felt strong hands grip his hips, some stray fingers slipping under his shirt and coming to a stop to lightly caress the skin underneath. He licked his lips as he gazed into brilliant, warm brown eyes, so much more vibrant and arresting than his own. “No fringe benefits, at all?”
               He watched Ford’s eyes shift from side to side - searching for something, it looked like. The inner workings of Ford’s mind often eluded him. Whatever it was, he must’ve found it, because the firm, stiff line of his mouth softened and melted into a charmingly lazy grin and the feather-light caresses began to move downward with intent. “Well, Carla was certainly right about one thing. You are riled up, aren’t you?”
               Stan grinned devilishly, bringing one hand up to run through Ford’s curly locks, pausing every so often to deliver light, teasing scratches to his scalp. “You bet. She seemed to think that you should deal with me.” Here he grabbed a mass of hair, pulling Ford’s head back. Ford went willingly, offering his throat in its entirety to his brother. “What do you think about that?”
               “I’m not sure,” Ford admitted, looking up at the ceiling. “I’ve never really done well trying to force fire to bend to my will, as I’m sure you remember.” Stan responded with a non-committal hum and a light caress to a pale, pink patch of skin on his brother’s throat. “As I mentioned earlier, my best work seems to come when I treat the fire with respect. Like a partner.” He flicked his eyes down in an attempt to meet Stan’s despite the awkward angle.
               Stan considered him briefly, laid out and submissive beneath him, before throwing aside the façade and finally giving into temptation, bending forward to kiss, lick and suck at every inch of skin he could reach. His twin came alive immediately, hands coming up and grasping at Stan’s shoulders for purchase as he gasped and moaned his pleasure, completely losing himself in the moment.
               It was times like these, here in this narrow world where he and Ford were the only things in existence, that Stanley felt like everything slotted into place. Where he could slowly, carefully free his brother from all the invisible trappings of the world outside and celebrate his freedom, celebrate Ford. It was always his most thrilling escape, and when he succeeded it brought him more pride and joy than hundreds of locked tank performances could ever touch.
               Every soft gasp was like the rattle of a loosening chain, every moan the click of a lock springing open under his hands. Every desperate plea was like the awed gasps of an enthralled crowd and every call of his name the thunderous applause of a phantom audience. With Ford he reached new heights and it was with Ford that he achieved some of his greatest accomplishments.
               When they were together, he received some of Ford’s magic too. Every light caress trailed fire along his nerve-endings, and every kiss seared into him like a brand. Ford’s intense gaze lit a fire in his gut and his fierce embrace was scalding enough to melt away the outside fears and anxieties that plagued him while leaving his heart and soul feeling blissfully warm.
              Together they were two fires that burned brightly, twining and melting into one another to become an intimidating force of nature. Together, they broke locks and rent chains asunder, lifting each other to previously unattainable heights where they could soar in their freedom.
              Together, the future was bright.
              Together, they made the impossible possible.
