CRASH

Pairing: FFXV! NYX ULRIC x GENDER NEUTRAL!READER

Words: 2.050

Warnings: none;

Summary: One morning on your way to work, you crash into a cute guy not expecting seeing him again in the evening.

You were running late. Again. There was no way your boss would buy another lame excuse if you wouldn't hurry. Maybe, if one of the six would be with you, you still could make it on time. If you were fast. Well, faster than fast. Maybe fast like a chocobo…

You were so deep in your thoughts with your eyes glued at your phone that you barely noticed anything around you. You knew the way. Blindly. Flying down the different streets in the heart of the city for two years. You knew every single light signal, every street sign and every building by heart.

What you didn't know was that big rocks could suddenly emerge from the ground because as you ran into something it felt as if you were slamming straight into a massive wall made of stone. You bumped into it, bouncing back from the rock before you fell.

But there was no impact on the ground…

"Hey, it's okay. I got you. You can open your eyes.", a soft male voice spoke close to your ear.

Only then, you felt two strong arms embracing your waist. As you raised your gaze, you got greeted by ocean blue eyes filled with concern, "The… the rock can speak.", you breathed startled, '...And is handsome as hell.', you thought further.

"Excuse me, what did you say?", the man asked confusedly and checked on you. He had noticed that the impact had been hard, you were straight crashing into him with some kind of speed, but it shouldn't cause any real trouble for your health.

You shook your head quickly to get your mind under control again, "I- I'm sorry.", you breathed, showing the man, who steadied your stand, a huge smile, "Thanks for catching me so quickly."

"It was my pleasure- hey, where are you going?", the man asked surprised.

You were already back on your way, "I'm sorry. I have to go. But it was nice crashing into you.", you called out before you hurried down the street.

Nyx stepped forward, following you but stopped again as his feet kicked at something. A small smartphone slid over the stones of the pavement. Nyx caught it before it could fall on the street and would get hit by a car.

Without a second thought, Nyx ran after you, trying to catch up but as he turned the corner of a coffee shop, you were already out of sight.

***

"Hey, what is that? Fancy new phone?", Libertus asked as he sat next to his friend.

Once again, Nyx nudged the display to turn it on. A picture of you with a cat showed up. Your eyes were sparkling and your smile breathtakingly beautiful. Only the little box with the PIN request threw a shadow of the image, "Actually, I… I found it this morning. It's theirs.", he said and pointed at the picture that glowed up again.

Libertus turned the phone over, "Looks cute. Seems to have money if they can afford such an expensive thing."

"Yeah…", Nyx breathed and frowned. It was indeed the newest model and didn't even have one scratch. And even if he had been distracted by your eyes and smile, he had noticed your expensive looking clothes, your styled hair and even the fancy shoes.

"But… Why do you have their phone?", Libertus asked.

Nyx got brought back from the daydreaming about you, "They crashed into me this morning. I guess they were on their way to work because they left pretty fast. I found the phone on the ground and ran after them but they were already out of sight.", he explained.

"Have you tried to find a number?", Libertus asked.

Nyx chuckled dryly, turning on the display once again, pointing at it, "What do you think this is, huh?"

"A cat.", Libertus answered, not getting the reason behind the question.

Nyx leant back in his chair while running a hand over his face, "I meant the PIN. I need a PIN to unlock the phone or otherwise, I don't have access."

"Oh... Well, but maybe Pelna can help-"

"Glaives! Into the briefing room!", Captain Drautos called out and within seconds your phone disappeared back into the pocket of Nyx' uniform jacket.

Unfortunately, it stayed there for the rest of the day…

***

Nyx was bushed. Because everything was pretty calm at the moment with no new attacks on Insomnia by Niflheim, Nyx and the other Glaives should train to stay focused. At the end of the day, Nyx scuffed into the locker room completely exhausted. He sat down on a bench and raked his fingers through his hair to relax a little bit.

"Hey, Nyx! Libertus! Wanna stop at Yamachang's?", Luche asked.

Nyx nodded without looking up. To get something to eat and to drink would be nice after a full day of training.

"Haven't you forgotten something?", Libertus asked and nudged Nyx' shoulder.

"What do you mean?"

"The fancy phone you found? Or do you wanna keep it after all?", Libertus asked with a grin, knowingly exactly that Nyx wouldn't do something like this.

Nyx' head shot up as he remembered, "Fuck… I totally forgot the phone!", he whispered and jumped up.

"Where are you going?", Luche called out, looking confused after his friend.

"I have to find Pelna!"

***

Thirty minutes later, Nyx had the address of your place. Once again, Pelna had worked his magic when it came to technology and information. Very quickly, Pelna found out your name and that you lived in the heart of the city not far away from the point where you had crashed into Nyx.

So, Nyx was on his way to get to your place. He was sure you would be grateful to get your phone back. He cursed himself that he had forgotten about it the whole day and hoped you wouldn't be too mad.

Accompanied by many pedestrians which were going home or into bars, Nyx made his way through the streets and was taken aback as he found himself in front of one of these high, luxurious looking apartment buildings.

Maybe Libertus was right and you had indeed a lot of money. Nyx swallowed nervously as he stepped through the entrance. The lobby was decorated with a bunch of plants and framed paintings. Even a leather couch stood at one wall. His boots made soft noises on the marble floor.

A couple was staring at him suspiciously. People like Nyx weren't liked to be seen in such places. For everyone, it was okay that he and the others risked their lives to fight for safety but at the end of the day, the refugees should stay where they belonged: in the underground.

Nyx hurried over to a board with names and searched for yours. He found it quickly. You lived on the eight floor and moments later, Nyx stood in one of the elevators with mirrored walls and a golden handrail.

Nerve-wracking slowly, the elevator brought Nyx to the floor he wanted. There was something strange when he walked through buildings and streets like these. It wasn't just that he was an outsider for all of them. It was rather just not his world. Even back in Galahd, such luxury wasn't common and so, he felt misplaced.

Nyx walked down the hallway while taking out your phone. He looked at the shining material. This was your world. You lived like this and maybe you didn't even know something other than having money.

As he reached your door with the golden apartment number, Nyx just needed to knock. He could knock and you would open the door. Maybe accusing him of stealing your phone. Maybe yelling at him that he needed the whole day to bring you the phone back. Or, you would call him stalker because he had tracked you down.

One last time, Nyx turned on the display and looked at the cute picture of you with the cat in your arms. Both of you looked so happy. You looked so nice and sweet. And even this morning, you had been nice to Nyx. At least, you hadn't been unfriendly.

As the display went off again, Nyx saw his mirrored expression on the surface. He saw his tattoos and braids and knew that this was not his world. So, he did the only thing that came to his mind: placing the phone in front of your door and to leave.

"Minka, what is- you!", you said surprised as you opened the door, seeing the cute guy from the morning in front of you. The whole day, he had occupied your thoughts and now, he was there.

Nyx looked up and greeted you with a shy smile. You stood in your doorframe, holding the door in your hand before you opened it even a bit more, "Hey, uhm… I- I found your phone this morning. You know...after our crash.", he stammered and presented the smartphone in his hands to you.

You stared at him and then at his hand for several moments before you jumped against the unknown man, snaking your arms around his neck to squeeze him tightly, "Oh, god bless! I had no idea where I'd lost it! You're heaven-sent!", you said over excitedly. Suddenly, you remembered what you were doing and so, slightly sheepishly, you stepped back again, "I- I'm sorry. I know, boundaries. It was just... I'm so lost without my phone. The day was a living hell.", you said softly.

"I'm sorry that it took me so long to bring it back. The day was a bit … busy.", Nyx said, scratching the back of his neck. He still felt bad for forgetting the phone at all.

You waved his apology aside. You knew what it meant to have a rough day. Only then, you noticed what the man in front of you was wearing, "You… you're a Kingsglaive.", you whispered in awe.

Nyx saw your astonished and excited expression and took the opportunity, "Yes, I am. Nyx Ulric at your service.", he said with a smile as you were still gaping at him.

As you noticed that you were still staring, you swallowed, "I’m sorry… It’s just that.. I'm such a big fan of you all. I mean, what you do for this city … we all owe you so much.", you said honestly.

Nyx was taken aback, "A fan? Never met one before to be honest."

"I know. You guys don't get appreciated enough. At least, not as much as you all deserve it. But- wait! I have an idea. Come in. Have dinner with me. Please.", you asked as you saw Nyx' refusing expression.

"Thank you. But it's not necessary.", he said politely even if he wanted to say something else. He would love to spend more time with you and your light attitude that made his heart jump a little.

"Please. You rescued me and my phone. You even brought it back. Plus the things you do as a Glaive. Inviting you in is the least I can do to thank you.", you tried to convince Nyx with your winning smile.

"I… I don't know. It wouldn’t be right…", Nyx said and just meant it half-heartedly.

"Please.", you begged, "If you leave, I just have Minka for company."

Nyx chuckled and even if he already sensed the answer, he asked anyway, "Who's Minka?"

"My cat.", you answered, looking down at the stripy, little troublemaker sitting next to your feet.

Nyx followed your glance and chuckled, "But she looks sweet.", he said amused as the cat tilted its head.

"Oh, she's sweet. Most the time. As long as you have food. No food, no sweetness. Trust me, she will turn into a vicious monster if she wants to.", you whispered conspiratorially.

Nyx was hooked. He liked your eyes, your smile and you were funny. The whole package was simply perfect. In fact, he didn't want to leave so quickly, "Did you say vicious monster? If that's so, I guess, I should accept your invitation. I mean, someone has to protect you."

"And who would be better for this job as an honorable Glaive.", you said with a huge grin, stepping aside to let Nyx into your apartment, into your life and into your world.

Gonna rant for a bit. Normally I wouldn't put anything about work online but I am so freaking frustrated. I came into this job (Sys Admin) with 0 experience. My boss and team lead knew this. In my interview (with both of them, not with hr) I was very honest about how much I actually knew.

So they hire me for my enthusiasm. I spend the first week getting my work station set up, doing the mandatory trainings, and learning people's names. The standard. And then I ask for work... The team lead is swamped with an emergency fix, use this website to start working on this cert that we want you to get. Okay cool I get it, I'll ask again tomorrow, and the day after that, and the next week... And oh I got access to the servers, I need to go test my log in to ALL of them k. Anything else I can do to break the tedium? Documentation. Documentation of what? Oh right of stuff I haven't been shown how to do... Okay...

Like I can go google how to create a user on the system or how to install an operating system, but that doesn't tell me how your system is set up. Even if i had experience I'd still be asking, hey whats this server for? How do we move code between the environments? What software suites do we use for this task? Do we have a license for this product and what does the license allow? How do we normally access the systems, as root, as an individual user, as a group user?

And since I have 0 experience, I don't always have the right words to ask the question. So I end up with a lot of just show me. But I wouldn't get shown unless I ask 100 times. And I take notes but they aren't perfect so I have to come back later for clarification. But I'm expected to have finished this document on how to do this process I've seen done once so the doc can be used in an AUDIT??? So it has got to be right! And yeah my team lead is to busy to review it...

So I talk to my boss every week or so, how are things going. Well I've been working on the cert training and I've learned this and that recently. Does team lead answer your questions? Yeah sometimes he takes a while to get back cause he's always swamped but he's super friendly about it when I do get ahold of him. (Did I mention I started this job during quarantine, so guess who wasn't physically in the office the first 4months, team lead, so I'm relying on him answering my calls or calling back or responding to email/im). I mention it'll be easier when he can come back into the office but I of course understand why he can't at the moment. So boss asks if I have enough work. Well, I have a hard time getting work from team lead cause he's always swamped so finding time to delegate work is hard especially since he's so used to working alone but I'll keep asking and also since I don't have a lot of experience it can be hard cause he has to set aside to show some basic stuff. But again once he's in the office I'm sure it'll be better. Until then im keeping busy, after all itsy IT there's always plenty to do and it all needed to be done yesterday! So I'll keep working on that cert for now.

I pick up a few new small tasks every week, and report what I'm learning to boss. He double checks I'm busy enough cause he doesn't want me getting bored and leaving, they really want to keep me on. At some point I ask the receptionist if I can help her out with anything since team lead is swamped and my work load is light. I get chewed out by boss a few hours later and team lead calls and says he can give me some work tomorrow (which he does).

So I finally get to start ramping up it seems, boss wants everything I'm learning documented yesterday but I shrug that off cause that's normal IT proceedure. But team lead is still swamped so it takes a day to get answers to anything especially since he's still working from home.

This whole time I'm hearing about all the mistakes my predecessor (actually the last three) made, and how it's left team lead gun shy of trusting people with certain environments. And I'm like you know that's fair, I'm really process driven and quite cautious so I think it will work out. And so I'm like hey why don't I watch you do it a few times and then I'll do it a few times with you watching over my shoulder to point mistakes before I make them and then I can give it a shot on my own. And that's a great approach for me, makes me more comfortable with the work, and it's supposed make my team lead more comfortable.

So we're about 4mos in. Team lead comes back into office. There's some adjustments to be made. My workload is a rollercoaster of several things due yesterday to just doing cert training cause team lead is swamped and I know better by now than to bother asking. I'm still pretty well giving the same update to boss. There's been a few hiccups, missed a meeting here, messed up something small here. I learned how to fix the mistakes, documented everything for future reference. Boss says what matters is we don't make the same mistake twice. And I show where I documented it and I dont make the same mistake twice.

And so month five I ask boss if they're gonna hire me full time (i was on a 6mo trial) and how to start that process. And he says send him my updated resume so they can create a position and he has to double check with team lead just to make sure but that everything should be good to go.

Everything was not good to go. He comes back the next week and says team lead isn't sure I can do the job so I need to work extra hard these next two weeks to prove I can.

And well I deflated. How was I going to prove I could do the job? I'd done the tasks given me. I'd gotten good reviews. Was I asking too many questions? Team lead had commented several times that I didn't ask enough. But I'd only had a month to be able to corner him to ask things. And by this point I knew the answers to the tasks I was given, I'd done them all before. Was it because I'd missed/been late to some meetings? That was on me but it hadn't happened as of late and that mostly seemed to bug my boss not my team lead who brushed it off or missed/was late himself. And I'd fixed that problem. Was it because I wasn't surgically attached to my phone? Seriously get over it. If that's the issue I'm out, and you also need to be more clear on that expectation from the get go. So i spinu wheels and flounder for two weeks the work I'm assigned clearly isn't proving I can do this job amd my motivation flies out the window. It was a bad two weeks and I didn't know how to fix it (honestly I still don't entirely).

Team lead pulls me aside to say boss is very unimpressed (no duh, I've done nothing for two weeks) and wants to know if I still want the job since I've seemed very unenthusiastic as of late. Yes I still want the job. I do actually like the work I've been given. I'll try and fix my attitude (this was on a Thursday, a lot of people don't work Fridays at this office).

Monday the contracting company that's handling this trial period sets up a meeting, with their hr. I'm not meeting snuff. Why. I need to fix this. I need to attend meetings. I need to meet deadlines. Im legit like no duh, if I knew what the issue was I'd of already fixed it. Im as frysty as anyone but sure if it makes you happy I'll say I'll do those things.

Then Tuesday I have the epiphany. This is stupid. Of course I'm not doing the work. The work is pointless from my perspective. It's not gonna prove I deserve the job. It's the same I've been doing for months that I was told was good enough only to find out at the last minute that actually no it wasn't? If course I'm going to struggle. There has been a massive miscommunication here!

So after talking it over with the SO to make sure I'm not crazy and to hash out what I want to say I set up a meeting with my boss. This was last week. Team lead is gone for fourth of july already. I explain my epiphany that if team leads wants me to prove I can do something he needs to give me work that will prove it. I accept I've had a bad few weeks, the trial has been extended a month and I'm ready to bounce back.

Except team lead is gone so I've got the same old work to do that Thursday friy. And I don't do it, I'm still not convinced it matters. We came back in the office on Tuesday. I own up to not having done that work yet but knock it out quickly that morning and start asking questions about my next task. Oh it's the same thing you've done before but on a new server, you need to select one different option when you do it... Oh..kay... Whelp it's gotta be done its a new server I convince myslef this will prove something to team lead and go knock it out. End of the day I swing by to ask a question and team lead had to leave early (it was a legit reason, had to take dog to the vet, but it's annoying at this point). But he didn't bother telling me this, boss has to tell me.

So Wednesday (yesterday) I come in and flounder, I still have the same old tasks. After luch i worj up the resolve to tey asking team lead what else I can do. I can knock out the tasks I have pretty quick. He'll have to find something for me. I don't hear back that day.

So here I am this morning, I'm fed up. SO thinks I should call team lead out to boss. I'm having a hard time with it though. Is it really his fault? Maybe I'm not pushing hard enough for more work? I mean haven't explicitly gone to his office and said give me more challenging work or else. Like how do I say that. At this point I'm struggling to complete the easy tasks I have, why would he give me something harder? But they themselves have said the receptionist could do what I do. I just. I don't want to even bother at this point...

More Sunshine au please? Maybe everyone's reactions when Sola first gets published? I can definitely see Ardyn being a proud, bragging Uncle about it all. But just more of that verse in general would be amazing!

Alright, now that I’m not half-dead from work (three eight hour shifts in a row guys, eight hour morning shifts), I can properly answer this!

Reactions to Alata’s first papers getting published! (Two of her papers are published at the same time. Her personal research determining that miasma is destroyed by the UV radiation in sunlight, and the research by the medical task force in creating a treatment for early Vanishing Sickness using UV radiation.)

-Adryn is absolutely proud of his Dear Niece. And yes, he does brag to everyone about it. Because for years, Ardyn has very much been an Outsider among Niflheim high society. No one knows anything about this man who suddenly showed up and got the position of High Chancellor. No known lineage, much less a respected lineage, no history, no family, nothing. The nobility respect the fact that Ardyn is clearly a dangerous man, but they have only disdain for the man himself, for the filthy commoner who somehow has so much influence with the Emperor.

-So Ardyn takes great glee in bragging about Alata’s accomplishment. Getting published in any academic journal of notable repute is no easy task, and Alata’s work is in four journals in Niflheim alone, with reputable journals from Tenebrae, Accordo, and Lucis looking to publish the article as well. He brags partly as a way to thumb his nose at the nobles - my family is better than yours - but also as a way to advertise his niece’s research. The nobles are all but starving for any information about Ardyn, and Ardyn has just presented the bait of a previously unknown relative.

-And the nobles fall for it, hook, line, and sinker. They read Alata’s research. They contact the others involved in the research, asking about Alata. And if none of the scientists and doctors mention Alata’s age, well, she’s a sweet kid, and none of them want to toss her into the shark pit that is Niflheim politics. So an image of Ardyn’s niece is painted - a brilliant and kind-hearted humanitarian, with the ambition and determination to tackle the mysteries of the Vanishing Sickness.

-A possible chink in the High Chancellor’s armor, some think. A way to gain the Chancellor’s - and therefore the Emperor’s - favor, others believe. So they clamor for Ardyn to bring his niece to court. Such a bright and talented individual deserves opportunities to forge connections.

-Ardyn waits until the nobles almost think he won’t, then introduces Alata to court. Using the celebration of Prince Icarus’ betrothal to introduce her to the biggest possible crowd all at once.

-Alata shatters the nobility’s expectations. Yes, she’s bright and kind and ambitious and determined. She’s also fiercely passionate, sharp tongued and bluntly honest, with her uncle’s political acumen but no desire to pander to the song and dance of Court and stubborn enough to plant her feet and let any opposition break against her, like a wave breaking against a mountain.

-She’s also all of twelve years old.

-Ardyn is Smug.

-Besithia is an Outrage. He’s never liked the brat Ardyn picked up in Insomnia, not since she insulted his life’s work. But now, now this child has been acknowledged twice over by some of the highest academic journals worldwide. For the same research he’d scoffed at and dismissed as the idealistic ambitions of a six-year old.

-Besithia increases his efforts in his own research. He Refuses to lose to a child who isn’t as smart as he is!

-Queen Sylva is curious about this Alata Mederi. She didn’t personally attend Prince Icarus’ betrothal celebration, so she only has what her delegation and gossip can tell her. And Alata’s research, and does that spark Sylva’s curiosity. Because the research details how the Vanishing Sickness - referred to as miasma in her research - is destroyed by the UV radiation in sunlight, leading to the later medical research project in treating early Vanishing Sickness with UV treatments.

-Sylva can see how Oracle magic - Bahamut’s Blessing of Light - is able to cure the Starscourge where medicine and Lucis Caelum magic fails. But Sylva is curious how Alata discovered the Scourge’s weakness to sunlight at all. Prior research not published?

-In Lucis, Regis is not expecting to get a call from Weskham. He’s been too busy the past few months worrying about his son - who the Astrals have declared will die to cure the Starscourge, and Regis refuses to lose another child - and researching everything he can about the Starscourge. Going as far as asking Queen Sylva for any knowledge the Oracles have.

-So when Weskham calls and tells him of the article about the Starscourge in a Niflheim academic journal, Regis and Aulea leap on the opportunity. They secure copies of Alata’s research. It’s no miracle solution, but it’s the beginning of one, and Regis almost cries when he finishes reading it because- because this is proof that something can destroy the Scourge. Something that doesn’t require magic, doesn’t require his little boy sacrificing his life.

-If Regis decides to discreetly invest in Alata Mederi’s research, even as Lucis begins planning research of their own... well, niece of the High Chancellor or not, this research could save Noctis’ life.

And some other stuff!

-When Ifrit Blesses Sola, his Blessing replaces Bahamut’s. Because a) Ifrit is that petty, and b) his Blessing is Fire and Purity. The Holy Fire heals by destroying everything and anything that does not belong.

-(‘Reborn anew from fiery death.’ Sola burns in a pyre of white fire, and steps from the ashes with sun-gold eyes and white marks spiraling up her arms like fire from where Ifrit held her hands to bestow his Blessing. And when Sola later heals Titus of the scourge? Titus and Sola disappear in a firestorm of pure white, and well, as I said earlier, it’s rather hard on the glaives’ nerves. And oh does Sola healing Titus have unintended consequences.)

-Sola loses the Lucis Caelum magic. So do Loqi and Ravus, gifted with Sola’s magic as they are. No healing, no Elemancy save the Holy Fire unless Sola finds an Elemancy node, no warping, no shields, no armiger.

-Sure, Ifrit had Sola empty her armiger before he Blessed her, but he didn’t tell her why and now she can’t carry all of her weapons.

-Sola is still miffed about that.

-Half the people who meet Sola and learn of Ifrit’s Blessing are... shocked to say the least. Because, look. Sola is not reverent in any sense. Not to Ifrit or any of the other Astrals. Half the people in earshot choke on their own spit the first time they hear Sola call Ifrit a petty jerk.

-In this AU, Sola doesn’t pick up much Galahdian culture. She unnerves more than a few Galahdians wearing white and black. Combined with her red hair - that she keeps cropped short at jaw length, Sola hates dealing with her hair - and the white almost tattoo-like marks on her arms and the veritable armory she somehow stashes on her person (because I love the trope where a character pulls out weapon after weapon and everyone else is like, where are you keeping that?) Sola makes for an ominous picture to any Galahdian.

-And then they spend about five minutes in her presence and realize that she’s a massive nerd. Whose passion is linguistics, cultural development, and the reflection of such in literature and folk tales. That Loqi and Sola continue a previous debate on the accuracy of a translated historical work as they travel to Costlemark Tower, Ravus groaning in exasperation and Selena snickering, goes a long way towards easing Tredd, Luche, and Axis’ nerves.

-Noctis and Sola regularly write each other about once or twice a month. Sola doesn’t tell Noctis where she is or about her research. Not that she doesn’t want to, but she doesn’t know if Papa or Mama also read Noctis’ letters and she doesn’t want them trying to take her away from Uncle. Now that she’s older she understands why they would, but good intentions or no, Sola won’t let them stop her from reaching her goal.

-Noctis... kind of doesn’t tell anyone that he’s regularly writing to Sola. At first because it’s a secret, and managing to keep something secret from everyone makes eight year old Noctis giddy. Then it becomes something he’s possessive about. His letters with Sola are his. No one else’s, and Noctis is possessive of his new older sister and doesn’t want to share.

-Eventually Noctis does feel guilty about keeping his letters with Sola secret, once he’s a bit older and realizes how much Regis and Aulea and Cor desperately miss Sola. But he still doesn’t tell them, because how he doesn’t even know what he’d say. Oh, he’s been writing to his missing older sister for years now and never told anyone? Noctis is only eleven, but he’s not stupid. His parents would not be happy. Worse, they’d probably be disappointed.

-Then Noctis has the idea that if he convinces Sola to come home, his parents will be too happy about that to be mad or disappointed that Noctis didn’t tell them about the letters!

-Unfortunately, Sola tells him that she can’t come home yet. She has a very important promise to keep. And one should always keep their promises. But Sola promises Noctis that she’ll be home for his coming-of-age. Even if she can only visit. Noctis pouts and tells her that he’s twelve. That’s forever!

Chapter Thirty Four - Starkcation

On the bright side you were the golden girl of the international media and had been given a medal of some kind by the Spanish Government for dismantling Los Charlínes, one of the major Galician Mafia Clans.

On the less bright side, you had three bullet wounds a broken wrist, a hairline fracture in your skull and the worst hangover known to mankind. The UN were furious with you for your unsanctioned self-appointed mission despite it’s success and you were currently sat on a Private Plane across from your extremely displeased father.

You tried to sit up and grab the glass of water but every time you moved half an inch you just ended up groaning in pain and/or throwing up.

“Help?” You muttered pathetically at Tony.

You hadn’t really needed his help or to have him fly all the way to Spain in a panic but Wade had convinced you it was a great idea. Your drunken self had agreed and paused in the middle of a shoot-out with forty odd mafia goons to phone Tony and tell him you were in trouble. By the time he arrived you were holed up in the American Consulate building being congratulated for your work by the Spanish Prime Minister and trying not to throw up into a waste-paper basket.

“I told you I needed space. You really think acting out like this is going to make things better?” Tony snapped at you as he pushed the water within reach.

You guzzled it down and collapsed back in your seat with a whimper.

“I * hiccup* missed you.” You muttered.

“You went on a killing spree with a mercenary whilst you were drunk, without any kind of back-up, without informing anyone where you were and you did it in a foreign country.” He ranted.

“Well when you say it like that it just sounds impressive.” You retorted.

“It’s… a little impressive.” He begrudgingly admitted.

“But it was dangerous, foolhardy and ill thought out and now I sound like Capsicle so thank you for that!” He continued.

“I just wanted to have fun, I needed to have fun and feel good feelings but I realised no matter how hard I try it doesn’t mean anything if you don’t love me anymore.” You said weepily.

There was a slight possibility you were still drunk.

“I can’t love you if you’re dead! If this had gone badly you’d be floating in the ocean right now as shark bait!” Tony yelled and you winced at the volume.

“But I won. Well we did, Wade helped. He got all the money and I got all the credit. There’s a country with a lot less crime going on, there’s less drugs being intentionally shipped, we get to spend quality time together and I have a pet donkey! There’s no downside.” You insisted.

There was in fact a donkey in the cargo bay of the ship, gifted to you by a very grateful family who’s son had been taken by the mafia a few years prior. His name was Mr Donkeypool and Tony had to pull some strings so you could take him back to the US where he was going to live on the Barton farm since Laura had happily agreed to take him in.

“No downside? You’ve got so many bullet holes in you you’re practically swiss!” He pointed out.

“I’ll heal.” You pouted.

“You’re too much like me, I can’t argue with you.” He sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose.

“Does that mean you forgive me?” You asked hopefully.

“For risking The Accords and international politics? Yes. For falling in love with the 100 year old brainwashed assassin who orphaned me? I’m trying, I really am.” He admitted.

“I know you need time, I do. But do you have to ignore me? I won’t rub me and Bucky in your face, I promise but please don’t push me away.” You begged.

Tony looked guilty and reached over to slowly adjust your seat so you were lying down.

“Get some sleep Kit Kat, you need it. We’ll talk more once we’ve landed.” He instructed you.

You were drunk and hungover at the same time, in massive amounts of pain and emotionally and physically exhausted. You didn’t have to be told twice. Your breathing evened out quickly and Tony watched your face smooth over as you fell asleep.

Maybe pushing you away wasn’t the best idea. He couldn’t face you and Barnes but maybe he didn’t have to just yet. Secretary Ross needed time to cool off and you needed some R&R away from the buzzing public while you healed. He pulled out his phone and started making arrangements.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Tony gently shook you awake as the plane a few hours later.

“We’re landing Kit Kat.” He warned you.

The sun was streaming through the windows and you blinked blearily, shifting to check your pain levels. You were stiff as hell and your mouth felt like dry moulded over cardboard but you had healed a little bit. You’d gone from death’s door the death’s driveway so it was an improvement at least.

The plane tilted as it began it descent and the pilot spoke over the intercom.

“Good morning Mr Stark, Miss Stark. We’ve begun our descent and will arrive at Van Nuys Airport shortly.” He said.

“Where?” You asked groggily.

“We’re in Malibu, you haven’t been to the New House I had built here yet and you need a few days for your injuries to heal.” Tony explained.

“So we aren’t in New York?” You asked, puzzled.

“No we’re in Malibu.” He repeated, shaking his head at you and handing you an espresso.

“Why?” You asked.

“For Gods sake… We’re here to have a vacation.” He said, rolling his eyes.

“Oh. OH! Really? We? As in you’re staying?” You asked excitedly.

“Well I’m not leaving you alone in my beach-front mansion, you’ll probably invite every morally dubious individual in the city over and throw a rager.” He snarked.

You ignored the sass and grinned happily at him.

“I would never do that, not without inviting you anyway.” You offered.

“No parties, can’t believe I’m saying that. Pepper landed a couple of hours ago and will meet us at the house. This will be a peaceful family bonding holiday. With lots of booze. For me, you’re being dried out.” He informed you.

You couldn’t care less, you were going to get to spend a few days with Tony and Pepper. Pain aside, this was the best news ever.

When the plane landed Tony had to help you hobble off it and down the stairs and as he guided you across the tarmac you decided there was something magical about the sky in Malibu, it was so blue. You barely had a chance to see it as Tony ushered you both into the waiting car but he did put the top down for you as he drove you both to his house.

Mr Donkeypool was in good hands he assured you, he was being transported to the house and he was going to be a beach Donkey for a few days. Tony promised he’d be happy in Malibu and he’d hired someone to look after him until it was time to send him to the farm.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

After you washed the jet lag off in the gigantic en suite shower you wandered back into your bedroom. Pepper had set out a sundress on the bed for you in your favourite colour and you smiled at the gift. Pepper had a penchant for spoiling you.

You slipped it on, mindful of your plasters and bandages and after gently rotating your wrist you decided you could get away without rewrapping it. It was fairly healed by now.

You happily slid down the bannister and joined Tony and Pepper on the back deck where luch had been set up.

“There you are sweetheart, how was your shower?” Pepper asked you, passing you a glass of orange juice.

“Great! I’ll enjoy it more when I’m not doing weird acrobatics to keep my bandages dry though.” You admitted.

“Maybe try not getting shot next time.” Tony snorted.

“This coming from the man who flew a nuke through an alien wormhole.” Pepper berated him and you smirked.

“Wait how did this become about me?” Tony asked, perplexed.

“Isn’t everything?” You quipped and he toasted you in agreement.

“If you’re feeling up to it we were going to take a walk on the beach after lunch.” Pepper informed you.

“I’m ready, I’ve never been to the beach!” You admitted excitedly.

“You two have fun, I’m going Jet Skiing.” Tony informed you both.

“Tony...” Pepper warned.

“Don’t worry, Kit Kat is going to help me test the new repulsor gauntlet on the beach later.” He assured her.

You choked on the bite of fruit salad you’d just swallowed.

“I am?” You asked.

“Yip. I’ll throw stuff and you can shoot it. It’ll be fun.” He said.

“And perfectly safe dear.” He told Pepper confidently.

Tony and Pepper continued to affectionately bicker throughout lunch, you and Pepper teaming up to make fun of him every few minutes.

“That’s it, I’m leaving while I still have a shred of ego intact.” Tony sulked, kissing you both on the cheek.

“Want to take that walk now?” Pepper asked you and you nodded.

She linked her arm with yours since you were still a little unsteady as you both casually strolled along the sandy beach.

It was beautiful and calming and while you missed Bucky terribly (He was sending you sad face emoji’s every half hour and you were going to kill whoever taught him how to use emoji’s) you found you were strangely happy. You just weren’t you when you didn’t have Tony.

“So you and Barnes?” Pepper asked, diving right in.

“I know, I picked the worst possible person to fall for.” You sighed, ready for her disappointment.

“I’m not sure you did. I remember how much you admired him before you even met him and how he inspired you to ask Tony if you could join the Avengers. I think you and Bucky have a connection, a unique way of understanding each other.” She admitted.

“You’re not mad at me because of the complications?” You asked her.

“What happened to Tony’s parents was in no way Sargent Barnes fault, he’s a good man. I admire him for trying to make amends for the things he was forced to do, it takes real bravery and strength. And maybe, this will help Tony finally see Bucky as someone other than his parents killer.” She said.

You were speechless. Pepper not only supported you, she saw Bucky the same way you did and saw hope for Tony and Bucky’s relationship.

“Thank you.” You told her earnestly, holding her a little closer as you walked.

“If he hurts you though, it won’t be Tony he has to be afraid of.” She warned and you laughed, even though you quite believed her.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

It was the same scene he had watched on a grainy video in Sibera but this time he was there, frozen and unable to do anything as his parents car was ran off the road. He watched the Soldier stalk over to the car and kill his parents, horrified and heartbroken but he couldn’t stop it.

“Dad… Help me.”

He turned slowly, in fear at the familiar voice. His daughter, his Kit Kat was sprawled across the road, covered in blood. He tried to go to her but he couldn’t move as The Soldier walked over to her.

She coughed weakly, reaching up to stroke The Soldiers face lovingly as he knelt down and placed his metal hand on her neck.

“Barnes, stop.” Tony croaked.

“I love you.” She said, to him or the Soldier he wasn’t sure.

The metal hand crushing her windpipe jerked to the side and her neck snapped with a sickening crunch. Her unseeing eyes looked straight through Tony.

Tony woke up covered in sweat. Pepper was sleeping soundly next to him and he quietly slipped out of the bed without disturbing her and left the room. The door to your room was cracked open and he peered through. The room was empty. His heart skipped a beat before he spotted your silhouette on the balcony and he walked over to join you.

“Can’t sleep?” He asked.

You’d had a long day, playing in the sun with him all afternoon after your walk with Pepper. You’d been exhausted at dinner and assumed you’d sleep through the night.

“Too much on my mind.” You admitted.

“Wanna go down to the lab and help me rewire the circuitry on the Jet Ski I crashed?” He offered.

“Sure.” You shrugged and followed him downstairs.

“Why are you awake?” You asked him.

“Too much on my mind.” He mimicked you.

“Touche” You muttered as you both entered the lab.

“So what’s eating you Kit Kat?” He snorted at his own dad joke.

“Just nervous about my first session at Xavier’s. It’s straight after we go home.” You admitted.

“Why would you be nervous about having a telepath poking around in your brain?” He asked sarcastically.

Why indeed. What was lurking in your subconscious was weighing heavily on your mind, no pun intended and you wished you could discuss it with somebody.

“Dad I...”

You almost told him. You wanted to. But how could you tell him that the monster within you was one of your own making? That there was a very real part of you that wanted to destroy the world. That deep down in your soul, you were evil.

“I know Kit Kat. I know.” He said.

You frowned and he sighed heavily.

“There’s a video in The Vernichtung Files from the one time Docherty managed to call Vernichtung to the surface. Since I saw it, on some level I’ve known the truth since I found you. It wasn’t until the Professor told me you needed his help to make yourself whole again that I worked it out though.” He admitted.

“You know what Vernichtung is?”

“Yes sweetheart, it’s you.”

“How did you know?”

“Genius remember?” he snorted.

“You aren’t afraid of me, you don’t hate me?” You asked fearfully.

“I’ve never met anyone without a dark side. The difference is you literally locked yours away to keep it contained, that doesn’t make you evil, that makes you stronger than most people.” He assured you.

“But my Dark side wants to kill people!” You insisted.

“And my good side created a killer robot and sold weapons of mass destruction. Nobody is perfect, especially those of us with power. Don’t mistake your capability for destruction with being a bad person. The fact is you’re the same as everyone else except for the fact you fight harder than most. Being a good person is a choice and you went through hell to stick to that choice.” He rebutted.

Your eyes teared up. Tony knew the worst parts of you and loved you anyway, more than that he saw the good in it that you couldn’t. You tried to stifle a sob by burying your face into his shoulder and you felt him put his arm around you.

“No matter what happens kid, I’m proud of you. Always will be.” He assured you.

STARKCATION

The hottest new Hero on the block is taking a much deserved vacation in Malibu after her busy week.

Deathwave hasn’t been on the scene for long but she’s already proving herself to be a force to be reckoned with. After her debut taking down aliens in the Capital it was revealed that the mysterious hero was actually the youngest Stark and a Secret Avenger, one responsible for helping the Secretary Of State save millions of lives and facilitating the arrest Benjamin Newlands.

Her tragic backstory was then revealed and hearts around the world broke as they read about the harrowing upbringing of the mutant know as ‘Vernichtung’. Raised by what can only be described as a mad scientist the young mutant was primed to end the world and live up to her namesake but instead chose to become a symbol of goodness and hope.

Fans around the world have accepted her into their hearts and while there are naysayers and those who believe she poses a threat, the general consensus is that the heroine is the symbol of strength and hope we all need. Proving that people can be what they chose and not what they are told, we our the masters of out own fate.

Seen earlier today walking along the beach with billionaire superhero Tony Stark, it seems the hero on everyone’s minds is enjoying some family time after her recent victory in Spain. We can only assume her father is as proud of her as the general public is since the family are celebrating in the sun.

“She’s almost ready.” He said with a vicious grin after reading the article.

“Doctor?”

“Everything is proceeding as I hoped. Vernichtung will soon learn her final lesson. The more she gives in to hope and happiness, the easier it is for me to break her.”

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

The drunken shenanigans with Deadpool were left out for several reasons...

It just seemed funnier to see the aftermath.

I'm in too deep a sad funk to write a funny drunk chapter. I'm starting to wrap up this fic now, so there are several chapters left but we are in the home stretch now. I was informed that longer fics can put readers off so I'm quitting while I'm ahead, before anyone gets too bored. As long as people are still interested I'll still do sequels and one-shots though, but that is mostly up to you lovely folks!

reconstruction (xxxholic fanfic)

Watanuki, Doumeki, Himawari // G // 1600 words // Fix Fic - POV second person What if Doumeki had used the egg to erase Watanuki’s memories of Yuuko ?

You don’t ask Doumeki what he wants for luch that day or the day after that. That’s an effort, it’s hard to spend the day without this and making food for him was not just something you did to make up for his many rescues but also a part of your routine that you reluctantly liked. He doesn’t seem to expect you to do however, he doesn’t come to ask what you did for him and when you say you don’t want to talk to him for a while he obeys. It was strange you always told him to leave you alone but he could always see when you really meant it. You cook just for yourself and you can taste your food again and feel as something bigger than just a matter of taste. You’re real, you can feel, you’re part of this world, the cost was great but everything is on the right track again. . . . Mokona and Kudakitsune will live with you in the apartment, not Maru and Moro however, they stay in the shop asleep until someone with enough power takes charge of the place. You ask Mokona to tell you how Tsubasa and the others traveling with the other Mokona are, and he does. You think you would feel if something was really wrong with Tsubasa, your souls are different, or became different, but your existence is connected with his and it will be like that until one of you two dies. You and this Mokona are probably the most similar beings in this aspect living in this universe. You also ask him to tell you a bit more about the Dimensional Witch. That makes him hesitate. You remember that one day you found a store and found someone there who said they could help you stop seeing the ayakashis in exchange for a certain amount of service. You remember the cases, the people you helped, and the people you weren’t able to save. But you don’t really remember her, her face or her voice, or the things she made you feel. Now there was a big hole in the place where there was something of great value before, something you had been willing to give up the whole world for the possibility of perhaps having again one day. . . . Himawari comes to visit you at your apartment over the weekend and this is a surprise, she has never done it before and you can see the reason why she thought it safe to do it there at the end of the hall. Doumeki doesn’t ask to enter with her and a part of you wanted him to do it just to say that you won’t allow it and knock the door in his face. But you allow yourself to ignore your anger for a moment, Himawari was there and this always makes the world seem a little better, a little softer. You wonder if the Dimensional Witch used to make you feel something similar. You both sit on the tip of the futton so as not to disturb Mokona and Kudakitsune who are both sleeping there. “So what do I owe the honor of your visit?” You ask. “I just wanted to see how you are, how you’re processing everything” “The idiot in the hall who asked you to come and ask me that?” “No, I came because I wanted to. Although I’m sure he’s also worried, he really loves you… you know that right? ” You don’t answer that, you decide to change the subject. “I made cake yesterday and I could make you some tea, would you like that?” “Yes, sure” “Well, you can stay here and I’ll be right back” When the water starts boiling Himawari appears at the kitchen door. “Watanuki-kun” “Yes ?” “Your computer was on and I noticed the page you were on” Oh, shit you think. “Sakura Kinomoto, is she who I think she is?” “Yes, she is the Sakura of this universe” “Your mother” “I’m not sure if I can really call her that, or even anyone like that. I couldn’t see her face before but I remembered her hand so clearly on my forehead when I was sick and she calling me Kimihiro, but now I don’t think these things really happened and if they happened they happened to Tsubasa and I just mixed things that happened to him about me, and it’s because of him that they sacrificed themselves, not for me. I am not their son, I am not a person, I am a side effect ” “Maybe it’s your memories, you told me that everything about your childhood and your time before coming here is confusing and complicated. Are you absolutely sure you’ve never interacted with her? ” “No” “And you know even if you haven’t had a mother you’re still a person, and you have relationships that are definitely real, I love you, Doumeki loves you, Kohane loves you. You’re here, you’re real ” “Thank you” “I’d hug you now if I could” “I know” . . . In the days after the end of that part of your life you were still passing by the shop after school, the place seemed cold and empty. But not today, you can hear the sound of Maru and Moro playing in the garden and when you arrived near the gate there was someone there blocking the passage. You suppose that most people would find you two alike, he was just a little shorter tha you, and but he had dark hair, blue eye and glasses. But the biggest difference was a serene arrogance that had never been present on your face. And also power, of a type you had never met before but one that you could recognize. “You’re Clow” “Wrong, I’m just a reincarnation and only half really. My name is Eriol ” “No disrespect, but your previous incarnation complicated my life and the lives of many people I care about” “Yes, that was the kind of thing he used to do. If that makes any difference, he felt sorry for everything, and so do I ” “It doesn’t. But I think there is nothing to be done now. So you’re the new owner of the store? ” “Oh no, she is” Only then you notice that there is a redheaded woman sitting on the porch looking gently at you. “Hi, my name is Kimihiro Watanuki, I worked for the former owner of this shop and I would like to offer you my services” The woman came to you and took your hand. “Nice to meet you Watanuki-kun, my name is Kaho Mizuki and I’m araid I can not accept your offer” “Why not?” “Payment. Your services would be too valuable for me to pay, and any desire you have is not one that I can grant it. ” “So what am I supposed to do now?” “Go live your life I guess” . . . You weren’t sure where you were going until you got there, but when you arrived you marched into the temple as if you were 100% centain on everything. You found Doumeki in the yard sweeping the leaves, he stopped when he saw you. “I want to talk to you asshole,” you announced. “Allright. Speak” “You had no right to do what you did. I was already forgetting a lot of things, I didn’t even remember the faces of my parents. It was selfish of you to ignore my desires of what I wanted to do with my life and my mind ” Doumeki kept looking at you for a long time, and when you were about to yell at him and ask him if he had nothing to say he said, “You’re right. I didn’t just do it for you, I did it for myself too. Because I wanted you living in the world ” “This isn’t an apology” “No, it’s not. And you will not get one from me. Not when it comes to this. If you’re going to hate me for what I did I can live with that, but I do not regret anything and I will not apologize ” You can feel your anger boiling, and you leave without saying goodbye. You keep arguing with him in your mind on the way to the supermarket and also back home, and in the kitchen making the snacks for tomorrow, you don’t remember your dreams that night you’re almost sure you were fighting with him in those too . You’re waiting for him in front of his class room when the lunch bell rings and you place the wrapping you made in his hands.

He seems surprised by the sight of you. “What is this?” He asks. “A bento and some other things. But before you start eating I want you to be aware that you don’t deserve this delicious bento or the pleasure of my company and also of Himawari-chan. However I in my infinite generosity decided to take pity on your pathetic self and allow you to continue lunching with us until graduation, and only because there are only a few months left for this and soon I will not have any reason to have you in my life again and - Hey! I’d told you not to start eating before I finish! ” You two walk side by side to your usual lunch place, Himawari is there waiting, and when she sees that you two are together her smile, which is always beautiful, shines brighter than ever. You sit down and you three eat together until the bell rings again. The world feels like it’s in the right place, and for once so do you.

Magic and Miracles and BEYOND Chapter 2

Woo! Chapter 2! You know I really love my casting choice of Heather Graham as Sylva, really. I mean look at the similarities between her and Luna from Kingsglaive and even Ravus from Kingsglavaive. *cough* MILF *cough*

You can find it either here on AO3 or below.

Anyway, @the-immortal-marshal, enjoy, don’t hit me for the beginning of this chapter. lol.

Magic and Miracles and BEYOND

Chapter 2

Luche gave his bag to the attendant before he jogged up the stairs and made a B-line for the bar and made himself and Sylva something to drink since he had beaten her to the jet and just as he got done, Sylva boarded the plane and blew out a breath of relief to see Luche making her her favorite drink.

“You’re a godsend.” Sylva praised as she kicked her heels off and walked over to the bar and took a seat and took her offered drink from Luche.

“Thanks, I try Sly.” Luche grinned just as the plane door closed.

“We’ll take off in just a few minutes Sylva.” The pilot informed her through the speaker.

“Thanks Rick.” Sylva answered before the microphone cut out and Luche and Sylva felt the airplane rev up and start rolling towards the runway.

“So? How are you doing today?” Luche asked as he came around and sat down next to her at the bar.

“Frustrated.” Sylva groused as she drank more of her drink.

“With a what or with a whom?” Luche inquired as he drank his own.

“Sadly with a who.” Sylva sighed tiredly.

“Want to talk about it or anything but?” Luche posed.

“Oh what the hell, so Regis has been just insanely jealous lately and it’s getting on every last nerve I have.” Sylva growled as she continued to down her drink.

“Of what?” Luche asked.

“Of who.” Sylva corrected.

“Who on earth would he be jealous of?” Luche asked in disbelief.

“You.” Sylva informed Luche.

“Excuse me, what?!” Luche blanched at the notion.

“Yeah,” Sylva confirmed.

“Why? Because I’m young and have my health and working capacity of both my knees?” Luche asked, only slightly teasing but the laugh Sylva gave him had him grinning.

“No, he’s jealous of all the time we spend together. He thinks you’re in love with me.” Sylva giggled and Luche had to laugh along with her.

“That’s...wow...” Luche tried to play it off and just shook his head as he looked into his glass before taking a long pull as his cheeks and ears burned red and he stared at the picture behind the bar.

Sylva sat there and watched his reaction closely before she was moved to action. When he turned his head to look at her, her face was next to his and before he knew it, she was kissing him. And not one of those kisses a mother would peck onto the cheek of her son, no this was definitely a lovers kiss and when Sylva sucked on his lower lip he was powerless not to kiss back in kind, throwing caution and his fucks into the wind and just going for broke and really kissing her back and when she made the most wonderful keening sound he framed her face with his hands and stood up from the stool and pulled her to her feet and flush with himself between the two bar stools and kissed her deeper and more passionately and when she hopped up into his arms and wrapped her legs around his waist, he was completely done for and promptly carried her with one arm to the back of the plane where the bedroom was and used his free hand to feel for the door and it’s handle and once inside he literally grabbed her by the waist and threw her onto the bed. Sylva squealed yet gasped in surprise, no one had ever done that to her before but the fire in Luche’s eyes had her gushing in her panties and when Luche practically ripped her clothes off, she could do nothing but pant and try to do the same to him, his dress shirt buttons went flying all around the room as she ripped it open and pulled up his undershirt to feel his soft skin yet hardened muscles underneath that, not having had the pleasure of feeling such a divine set of abs in forever and when he finally was bared to her she nearly lost her breath, he was so fucking hot, he should be a model and when he entered her roughly, her whole body writhed in pleasure as her skin felt hot and tingly everywhere he touched her and when he went to kiss her neck and nip at it, she mewled and pushed herself up against him as his hands intertwined with hers and he pinned them up above her head and practically pinned her to the bed with his body and she made no move to get out from under him and when Luche powered a really rough stroke into her and his hips slammed into hers, she could do nothing but cry out as Luche continued to kiss, lick and bite at her neck but not hard enough to leave a mark but when his face moved to her bosom and finally got a chance to suck on a nipple and quite hard, Sylva nearly lost it.

“Oh God.” Sylva keened as her back arched off the bed, pushing her breast even further into his face as his hips continued to slam into hers as her legs tightened like a vice around his waist and then without warning he pried her legs off of him to unlock them and when he did he pulled away and out of him and very forcefully rolled her over and pulled her hips up as she rose to support her upper half by her arms to fuck her from behind and slapped her ass so hard she hissed in pleasured pain and his hand left a red hand print before both of his hands grabbed her hips so hard his fingertips would bruise her perfect porcelain skin for a few long moments as Sylva felt herself hurtle close to orgasm. Luche then laid over her and grabbed and pulled her hair so hard her head was pulled to the side as he bit down on her shoulder which only continued to send pleasured bolts of lightning though her body.

“Don’t you dare cum yet.” Luche growled into her ear before his hand that had been fisted into her hair scratched her scalp roughly and Sylva’s eyes nearly rolled back into her head.

“Wouldn’t...dream of it...” Sylva nearly sobbed as she was so overwhelmed with pleasure before Luche bit her earlobe and sucked on it before licking a trail down her back as he stood up on his knees again and gripped her hips hard again to pound into so hard she barely realized they were up in the air now. When had they taken off?

“Get down!” Luche growled and reached over her to grab her wrists to pull them out from under her to pin her chest to the bed before putting his hand between her shoulder blades to keep her pinned down before he scratched down her spine from the base of her neck down to her ass, his fingernails leaving claw marks down her back as she keened again as her eyes rolled back into her head in pleasure. She hadn’t been the recipient of sex this rough since before she was with Victor and she had no idea how much she had missed it.

“Lu!” Sylva pleaded desperately, she wanted to cum so bad and when Luche reached around her and tapped and rubbed vigorously at her clit she didn’t know how much longer she could hold out as her lower legs kicked against the bed and she clawed at the bedding before Luche spanked her again, the slap echoing off the walls as he neared his own finish.

“Please, please, please.” Sylva begged, her voice muffled by the pillows on the bed.

“Cum for me Sly, cum so hard that Regis won’t stand a chance of ever pleasing you like this!” Luche spat through gritted teeth as his own eyes closed tightly as he felt her inwardly flutter and start to constrict as her clit swelled around his fingers as she cried out his name and spilled himself into her.

Sylva sat up in bed with a start as she realized she was on her yacht again and sleeping next to Regis who was still snoring away next to her.

“Oh thank God,” Sylva whispered in relief as she brought her knees up to her chest and held them close as she recovered from her dream. “I have got to get Lu back together with Ada.” Sylva breathed as she ran her hands though her hair and scratched at her scalp but her whole body was buzzing and her underwear was soaked. She looked at the time and debated whether or not she should wake Regis up to romp with him or to just get in her bedside drawer and get her vibrator. She chose the vibrator and rolled over and got it out along with a little bottle of lube and settled back into bed and relaxed as she inserted it and turned it on, the buzzing muffled by the blankets as she recalled all the other sex dreams she had had of Luche, especially of him choking her being some of her favorites. She felt so guilty every time she had them. Knowing it would destroy her family if they ever came to fruition but she also knew that this was only a passing fling for herself and that soon she would get over it at about the same time Luche would get over his crush on her.

“My Dear? You could have woken me up.” Regis purred as he rolled over to face her and reached out to slide his hand down her body to grab the toy and shoved it deeper into her before angling it to drive it into her G-spot and Sylva nearly came off the bed she writhed so much as Regis grounded her by then kissing, licking and biting at her neck.

“I...you’ve needed your sleep.” Sylva tried to explain as she brought herself out of her fantasy to thoroughly enjoy the moment with her husband and Regis hummed in acknowledgment before he turned the toy off and pulled it out of her while taking her pajama bottoms and panties off as she did the same to him before he settled over her before he thrust his own hardened member into her, grinning when she keened.

“What do you need?” Regis asked and Sylva nearly started to cry because her husband knew her so well enough and obviously loved her enough to care enough to ask such a thing.

“Rough, very rough.” Sylva panted and Regis hummed again in agreement and in a flash, it was like he transformed and ripped her pajama top open to reveal her to him as Sylva gasped and squealed in delight and beamed the proudest smile at him for reading her mind. Regis knew how to sew them back on anyway and bit at her chest and sucked on her nipples so hard, he felt like he was going to suck them off her breasts but that’s what she wanted when she wanted it rough before he rolled her over roughly but because of his knee he couldn’t get on his knees to drive into her that way but he could lay over her and put his weight on her to help her feel like she was being smothered as he reached around her to grab her throat and start choking her the way she liked too as he other hand twisted her nipple between grabbing at her breasts roughly, thankfully he was both wide enough and long enough that she didn’t loose anything sensory wise from this angle as she groaned in pleasure as her head swam in semi delirious delight and when Regis was done with her breast he reached down and under them to rub at her clit very roughly as Sylva cried out and moaned into the pillows and Regis grinned smugly when he both felt and heard her cum, his own orgasm chasing hers and stopped his minstrations when Sylva stilled his actions with her hands on his wrists.

“Better?” Regis asked.

“Yes, much.” Sylva panted as she recovered.

“Good.” Regis nodded before he got off of her but otherwise gathered her into his arms again and kissed the crown of her head when she cuddled into his chest.

“Welcome aboard The Magnifique!” Sylva greeted everyone happily the next morning as all her kids and their friends boarded her super yacht in Martha’s Vineyard where they would then be sailing down to the coast to Myrtle Beach while the drivers drove her Escalade and the tour buses down there to meet them as everyone was shown their rooms by the yacht’s crew and once everyone was settled in they congregated by the bar where a buffet had been spread out and they started gorging themselves as everyone caught up with everyone else.

“So? Are you going to be selling or keeping the house in Maine?” Sylva asked Ravus, Selena, Nyx and Lunafreya.

“We’re keeping it.” Lunafreya spoke up as she gestured to herself and Nyx.

“Awesome.” Sylva nodded before her ears caught onto Crowe’s conversation with Pashmina and Yasmine.

“Man it’s like my tit’s grew again, this fit just fine a month ago, I feel like I’m gonna fall out of this thing.” Crowe complained about her bikini top and Sylva frowned and looked over at Lunafreya to see if she was listening to what Crowe was saying and found that Lunafreya had caught onto that too and was frowning back at her mother.

“Oh quit complaining, I’m just worried this tampon isn’t gonna hold.” Pashmina waived off.

“Ha! Yeah, my period came early this month, only lasted a day or so, barely took a whole pad.” Crowe bragged and Sylva, Lunafreya and Yasmine spit out their drinks and started choking on them as they all looked at each other worriedly.

“Yeah, give me that.” Yasmine grabbed Crowe’s drink out of her hand and Sylva had to keep Lunafreya from yanking Crowe out of her seat.

“Crowe, could you come with me for a moment please?” Sylva asked as she gave Yasmine and Lunafreya a meaningful look to keep them from reacting any further so as not to give away their suspicions.

“Yeah, sure.” Crowe agreed.

“Now, back in New York, when you said you had run out of birth control, how long exactly were you out of it?” Sylva asked as she brought Crowe down to the infirmary.

“Only like a week and a half? Two weeks maybe?” Crowe shrugged and Sylva had to bite her lips to keep her face calm and neutral.

“And while you were out, whenever you and Lib had sex you always used a condom right?” Sylva asked.

“Nah, I’ve gone that long without taking my birth control before and nothing has ever happened.” Crowe shook her head no.

“I see, well, I don’t mean to cause you alarm but enlarged or even more sensitive breasts, darkening nipples, the urge to go to the bathroom all the time, an early and light period instead of the regular menstrual cycle are some of the early signs of pregnancy.” Sylva informed Crowe just as the two entered the infirmary which was decked out like a mini hospital.

“Wha…?” Crowe blinked in surprise before she peeked at her nipples in her bathing suit and her eyes went wide. “Shit.” Crowe breathed as her heart rate started to climb as her mind whirled.

“Ok, before you start freaking out, I need you to know something, even if you are pregnant, if you don’t want it or if you don’t think you’re ready, I have everything I need right here and now to terminate it and you are an adult, this is solely your body and your choice if you want to keep it or not. But before we get to that, there’s two things I can use to determine if you’re pregnant or not in the first place. You might still be too early for it to show up on a traditional pregnancy test, so what’s left is I can run a blood test or I have my ultrasound machine right here, we can look and see.” Sylva offered.

“Ultrasound.” Crowe immediately said before Sylva had Crowe get into a proper hospital gown and got the room set up and wheeled her ultrasound machine over to the table and got a proper blanket down and another to drape over Crowe’s body and got Crowe to take off her bottoms and up onto the table before Sylva draped the top blanket over her.

“Now, because it’s still early, I have to insert the ultrasound wand vaginally.” Sylva cautioned as she put a plastic cover over the wand.

“Ok.” Crowe nodded as the lubrication warmed up before Sylva had Crowe get her feet in the stirrups.

“Ok, ready?” Sylva asked after she put the now warm lubrication on the plastic over the ultrasound wand.

“Ready.” Crowe nodded anxiously as she fisted her hands in the blanket and grimaced as Sylva pushed the wand in and moved it around to get a good look at everything.

“Do you want to see this?” Sylva asked and Crowe nodded yes enthusiastically before Sylva turned the machine so the screen could face both of them. “Houston, we have an embryo.” Sylva lightheartedly informed Crowe as she pointed to it on the screen.

“Oh my God.” Crowe smiled and just started crying but couldn’t stop smiling. “I’m pregnant.” Crowe choked out, her tears flooding her vision as she used the blanket to dry them up. “Lib needs to see this.” Crowe realized.

“I wouldn’t show him unless you plan on keeping it Dearest.” Sylva gently cautioned.

“I know.” Crowe nodded.

“Well ok then, I guess that answers that. Congratulations, you’re gonna be a mom.” Sylva congratulated her.

“Thank you.” Crowe smiled so brightly she shamed the sun.

“Ok, I gotta take this out so I can go to the door because Lunafreya and Yasmine are anxiously on the other side of the door and they’ll go get him.” Sylva said as she pulled the wand out for only a moment and went to the door.

“Go get Libertus, now.” Sylva told the girls with an excited expression as Yasmine and Luna just bolted and ran to go get Libertus.

“Now, let’s see how far along you are.” Sylva said as she came back over to Crowe and re-inserted the wand to try to get a read out.

Meanwhile Lunafreya and Yasmine ran through the yacht to get to the back of the boat where Libertus was.

“Libertus!!!” They both yelled urgently.

“What?!” Libertus called back as he suddenly found his feet and watched as they were both running to him.

“You got to come with us to the infirmary, it’s Crowe.” Yasmine blurted, but Libertus mistook her tone for ‘something is very wrong’ instead of the ‘something really exciting’ is happening and immediately dropped everything and ran over with them as the three of them ran back to the infirmary with Nyx hot on their heels before Libertus burst into the infirmary, huffing and puffing and nearly having a heart attack seeing Crowe in a hospital gown and under a blanket on the bed.

“Oh God, Baby! What’s wrong?!” Libertus asked anxiously as he was by her side in a moment before Sylva and Crowe suddenly started snickering.

“Babe, I’m not dying. Calm down, everything is ok.” Crowe immediately reassured him and smiled wider and laughed when he looked at her incredulously. “It’s just that you’re gonna be a Daddy.” Crowe informed him as Sylva turned the screen again dramatically and pointed to the embryo on the screen before Libertus realized what position Crowe was lying down in and what position Sylva was in, with her arm shoved between Crowe’s legs under the blanket.

“What?” Libertus gulped.

“You knocked me up.” Crowe rephrased with a giggle before it finally dawned on him.

“I...you...I...” Libertus stuttered as he looked from Crowe’s face to the monitor to her face and then back to the monitor before looking at Sylva who was smiling and nodding and tapping her finger on the screen still pointing to the embryo.

“We’re gonna have a baby?” Libertus asked as he held onto Crowe’s hand tightly while trying not to pass out.

“Yeah, we’re gonna have a baby.” Crowe laughed, amused by how Lib seemed to be slow on the uptake.

“H-How?” Libertus asked and Crowe and Sylva both burst out laughing, he was just too cute.

“Like how did you knock me up or how am I going to give birth? What confuses you?” Crowe teased before it finally hit Libertus full force.

“OH MY GOD BABE!!! YOU’RE PREGNANT!!! WE’RE GONNA HAVE A BABY!!! WE’RE GONNA HAVE A BABY!!!” Libertus suddenly shouted excitedly as his whole body lit up and he started to literally bounce on his feet and practically hop and jump around where he stood which was the reaction Crowe and Sylva had expected as they heard Nyx, Luna and Yasmine cheer on the other side of the door before he just started crying too and kissed Crowe all over her face and told her how much he loved her over and over and over again as Sylva printed off a bunch of copies of the best pictures she could get of the embryo before she removed the wand and wiped all the lube from Crowe’s sex so she could get her bikini bottoms back on.

“Oh! How far along are you?!” Libertus asked as Crowe shimmied back into her bikini and took off the hospital gown.

“Only two weeks, you knocked me up the night I picked out my wedding dress.” Crowe grinned.

“Oh-ooh.” Libertus oohed as he remembered that night.

“So that means the baby, if you can bear it to full term will be due at the end of February, February 19th-24th, somewhere in there.” Sylva estimated with a pregnancy calculator.

“Which means we’ll be in New York.” Libertus realized. “So what about...” Libertus started asking.

“Actually, while the girls were going to get you, Mom and I talked about that. She said she’ll help me get my classes a year later so I can stay home during the pregnancy and the first year of the baby’s life.” Crowe informed him proudly.

“Whew, ok, good,” Libertus blew out a breath of relief at hearing that. “Oh that means that extra room will be the nursery, what do you want to call it if it’s a girl? Or what if it’s a boy?! What colors should we paint the room? What kind of crib should we get?” Libertus suddenly fired off.

“Ok, ok, calm down, before you worry about all that, it’s still really early, like, really really early, you two gotta prepare yourselves just in case it doesn’t take. A lot of women miscarry in the first 12 weeks especially, so be very careful for the next ten weeks and even farther beyond that- which are going to be long for you guys, I’m just warning you now. I’m ordering a portable ultrasound machine so Yasmine can keep track of everything since she’s training to be an OBGYN so if you don’t mind, this will be invaluable experience for her.” Sylva cautioned and they both nodded in understanding.

“Thank you so much Mom.” Libertus hugged Sylva tightly.

“You’re welcome, congratulations, just be very careful with her ok?...” Sylva began as she went over what foods to avoid, what drinks to avoid, what activities to be careful with and so on.

The moment Crowe and Libertus went out into the hall, all their friends were gathered in the hall and cheered really loud when they left as all their friends congratulated them. Crowe immediately earning the nick name of ‘Lil Mama’ while all the guys begrudingly handed Tredd a hundred dollars each since the moment the girls got Libertus, he challenged that Libertus had knocked her up and took bets and even started a bet for when Crowe would give birth. Yasmine started making Crowe super food milkshakes with tons of berries and other fruits for Crowe to drink in addition to making sure Crowe had her gummy vitamins for pregnancy as Sylva went ahead and ordered that ultasound machine and had it delivered to the port in Myrtle beach.

Once at Myrtle beach however, both Nyx and Lunafreya as well as Ravus and Selena all got vacation houses there because they just fell in love with how quaint and family friendly it was while Yasmine and Pelna and Pashmina and Gladio got a timeshare there and when they went further south, they got cabins in the smokey mountains too, close to some of the best BBQ joints they had ever had before they continued their drive south and the whole group met up again in Disney World and spent a week going to all the parks.

“Wow this is really gorgeous.” Selena praised as she, Ravus, Luna and Nyx walked into the mansion they had in Miami. “Dibs.” Selena quickly added in a giggle before Nyx could say anything as Luna laughed.

“Yeah, this is totally yours, I’ve never really liked this house anyway, there’s a place up the street I’ve always liked though.” Lunafreya admitted.

“Oh the one four houses up?” Nyx asked as he pointed in the direction of it and Luna nodded yes emphatically. “Yeah me too.” Nyx admitted and Luna lit up.

“Well then excuse us for just a moment.” Luna quickly took Nyx’s hand and led him back out to walk up the street as Selena discovered her new vacation house with Ravus, taking pictures of her favorite parts before Ravus led her to the master bedroom.

“Holy shit, wow.” Selena gasped when she saw it. “I absolutely love it.” Selena beamed as she walked around and checked out the bathroom.

“This is my favorite house so far.” Selena praised and Ravus grinned. He knew she’d love it.

“Good, you should.” Ravus nodded in agreement before he went over to the safe that was in the bathroom and unlocked it.

“Ha! I knew she left it here.” Ravus beamed when he took out more jewelry from the safe.

“Did your grandmother go anywhere without at least a million dollars in diamonds with her?” Selena teased.

“No she did not.” Ravus chuckled before he offered it to her as Selena just shook her head and looked them over.

“Did she have an affair with someone at DeBeers?” Selena asked, in a slightly teasing tone as she tilted her head and considered the diamonds in the sunlight and Ravus laughed again.

“She did actually,” Ravus revealed as he sidled up next to her to look over the jewelry too to appraise it.

“Jesus.” Selena whispered as she just shook her head again. “If I ever start to be like your grandmother, slap me.” Selena urged her fiance which got him to bark a laugh.

“I don’t think that’s possible Darling.” Ravus reassured her as he rubbed soothing circles into her back.

“Well that being said, this is gorgeous.” Selena allowed, at least his grandmother had good taste in jewelry.

“Then it’s yours, I’ll enjoy it infinitely more if it’s on you and it does suit you.” Ravus urged as he got it from her and put it on her.

“Thank you.” Selena thanked him and kissed him passionately before he picked her up to carry her over to the bed.

“Ok, your grandmother had good taste in two things, jewelry and beds.” Selena praised as she laid back and let Ravus undress her as she undressed him in turn before they got under the covers and made love again Selena always amazed by how Ravus always seemed worship her body with his, especially when she was wearing the family jewels, one of his few kinks, but she didn’t mind one bit. She loved it actually because he made her feel so precious, loved and adored.

Meanwhile Luna and Nyx came up on this gorgeous beach house that just happened to be on the market for sale as Luna quickly called the Realtor who was there within minutes to show them the house.

“Oh my God, sorry it took me so long to get here. Let me show you around.” She apologized as she opened the gate and walked them into the property and let them walk around. She had heard through the realtor grapevine that the Nox Fleuret’s were doing this and that’s why she had pushed the owners to put their house on the market just for this express purpose and had even called the owners on her way to the house and told them that Lunafreya Nox Fleuret herself was going to be looking at the house and got a special offer to offer to her.

“So, forgive my curiosity, will you also be keeping the house just a few houses over or not?” The realtor asked.

“Oh my brother and his fiance will be keeping it but I’ve always loved this house and I’m just tickled it’s on the market.” Lunafreya informed her with a bright smile as she and Nyx checked out the state of the art kitchen that had just gotten remodeled.

“Oh, how lovely.” The realtor smiled fondly and waited until they had seen all of it before she told them the owner’s special offer if Lunafreya would be interested as Nyx and Lunafreya gave each other a subtle but meaningful look before Nyx gave her the nod.

“Sold.” Lunafreya beamed and got into her purse and took out her checkbook as the realtor quickly got all the paperwork together to have them sign to buy the house.

Fic Title: Take It and Run [cowboy au] Chapter: 3. A horse to forget Previous Chapters: Prologue | Chapter 1 | Chapter 2 Rating: G (later chapters might be NSFW so I will write individual warnings for each chapter) Characters: Cor, Luche, Noctis, Glado, Ignis, Prompto, Tredd, Nyx, Luna, Ravus, Libertus, Crowe. Tagging: @birdsandivory @yourcoolfriendwithallthecandy @lazarustrashpit @jojopitcher @themissimmortal @kairakara101 @fromunseeliecourt @ladychocoberry @theyearofdiamonddogs @littlestfangirl

If you want to be tagged or untagged please let me know.

Noct stretched behind his desk still not fully awake. He had no idea how other people did it. Like farmers and ranchers. How can you be awake as the sun raised and be on with your business? He could barely force his brain to work around lunch time.

“Coffee.” Prompto came from he back door and placed a warm cup on Noct’s desk. Noct just nodded in gratitude, words were still difficult in that hour. “Iggy came late last night. He seemed very drunk.”

Noct knew that something in that sentence sounded unusual. Something about Ignis and drinking perhaps, he was going to think over that later. Now coffee was more important. He touched the hot cup to his lips as the door opened with a bang and a man dressed in an extravagant grey coat walked in, taking his hat off.

“Ah nephew!” The man walked closer to Noct’s desk. “Such fine morning.”

“I’m not your nephew. Distant relative at best.” Noct mumbled over his cup of coffee, not wanting to pay attention to the man that just walked in. He wasn’t fully awake and even when he was he wouldn’t want to deal with him.

“Must you always be so cruel towards me?” The man pulled a chair and sat uninvited. “I just wanted to make sure you are okay. Seems like you have so much work on your hands. Such terrible faith. So young taking over your father’s responsibilities.”

“But I’m not taking over my father’s responsibilities, am I?” Noct almost growled at the man. He knew that showing any sort of emotion was just fueling the annoyance that was sitting across of him, but it was hard to control himself so early in he morning. “I’m the sheriff, someone else holds the mayor’s chair, surprisingly.”

“The people have spoken, sheriff.” The man gave him a big grin and Noct had to use every ounce of restrain he possessed in order not to shoot him straight through the teeth. “I hear your investigation finding these bank robbers is going nowhere.”

“It’s not your business where it’s going.” Damn him and wherever he was finding his information from.

“Oh, but it is. I’m as sad over Regis and Clarus’ deaths as you are. So devastating.” If he looked at the man’s face carefully it seemed as if he really meant it. Noct knew better.

“Why are you here, Ardyn, I have work to do, tell me what you want and be on your way.” Noctis wanted to personally kick the man out of this place.

“I came to warn you that I don’t like you pestering people to relinquish their guns. These people bring money in our town. I don’t want them to go to different place to spend their money. I want you to allow them to have their guns.” Ardyn suddenly became serious there was no trace of the previous mockery in his voice.

“Bring money?” Noct got up suddenly kicking the chair behind himself. “Some of them robbed a bank! A bank!” he was shouting and he knew he shouldn’t but it was impossible to stay calm in the man’s presence. “They shot my father, Gladio’s father and some civilians. Money you say? How about the money the bank lost for the insurance? How about the money these poor families had to pay for funerals? How about…” he didn’t finish that sentence since he felt warm familiar touch over his shoulder.

“Mayor, I think it’s time for you to take your leave.” Ignis had appeared behind Noctis like guardian angel. “Noct had a rough night keeping the peace and he needs some rest. I’m sure your attention is needed elsewhere.”

“But of course. Very unreasonable of me.” The man got up and walked slowly towards the door. “Don’t forge to keep me updated, sheriff.” He made a mocking bow just before he walked out and put the hat back on his head slamming the door behind himself.

“I hate that man.” Noct said as he pulled his chair back up.

“We all hate him. But we need to endure him. For now.” Ignis patted Noct’s shoulder again and that was enough for him to find some control over his emotions.

“I still can’t believe he was elected mayor.” Prompto added as he went to the chair where Ardyn sat and cleaned it from sort of invisible dirt.

“You see how he talks. People buy that. We know him for what he is, but most people buy into his sweet words.” Ignis explained as he was drinking his coffee.

“Yeah.” Noct said with annoyance. Beside finding his father’s killers he had put it on his agenda to prove to everybody who Ardyn really was and hat he was no good for anybody, but that seemed like impossible task.

Nyx hated the days when they had nothing to do. Just hang out around and do nothing until it’s time to drink and play cards. But during the day…sure the cattle had its needs, but it wasn’t like they were on the road. He was sitting in front of the general store waiting for Pelna and Crowe to finish their supplies shopping. Tredd was across the street hitting on the saloon girls who were buying all of his bullshit hoping he would grace them with a dollar or two.

“Morning.” Luche sat next to him, his hat covering most of his face.

“You look like cow shit.” Nyx kicked the other man’s boot teasingly, Luche didn’t seem bothered. “That pleasant business of yours last night must have been very pleasant.”

“Yeah it was.” Luche still seemed half asleep but Nyx was bored out of his mind and the only way to entertain himself was to give the man hard time.

“Come on tell me more. Was she pretty? Or was it a he?” Nyx elbowed him and Luche gave him annoyed look. “You look worn out and you looked worn out when you walked in the saloon last night. Come on I’m not Tredd, I will keep the inappropriate remarks to a minimum.” Luche didn’t answer so he continued. “You must know them from before, right? Like last year when we stopped here?”

“It’s a woman.” Luche finally sighed. “You are right, I met her last year. She is married hence I don’t want to talk about it.”

“You spend too much time with Tredd.” He was going to add something else but his attention was caught by something unusual. On their side of the street a woman was approaching, nothing uncommon about that but she was unusual. Her hair was tied up reveling the most beautiful face he had ever seen, her white dress was absolute contrast to the brown buildings and sandy ground.

“You are staring.” Crowe slapped the back of his head which made his hat fall off.

“Thanks, Crowe.” He tried to pick up his hat gracefully, but that didn’t work out. The woman didn’t even notice him and crossed the street, lifting her skirts gracefully to avoid as much of the dirt as possible. Nyx couldn’t stop looking at her. Pelna was talking to him but he ignored him because all his senses were focused on the woman. Across the street she stopped at the sheriff’s office, talked and chatted with the man himself.

“Motherfucker.” Luche swore and got up, no trace of his previous fatigue. He walked across the street with so much determination that Nyx got worried for a second they both had the same thing in mind, but fortunately no. He was walking towards Tredd and Nyx felt a bit better. His attention was again preoccupied with that woman. She was different. Very different. Not just her clothes, but everything in her. The way she talked to the sheriff, her posture, he couldn’t hear her words, but he could bet money she sounded like one of them sophisticated ladies from the East. Like she talked properly and softly, she smiled warmly…he could imagine all that. He wanted to talk to her, but he had no idea how. He couldn’t just run across the street and talk over the sheriff. And what was her business with the sheriff? Were they involved in some way? If the sheriff had any brain he totally would for Nyx’s annoyance. Maybe she just needed his help with something. He was the sheriff after all people wanted things from him.

“Somebody slap him!” Crowe’s voice was coming all too loud behind him and Nyx turned around. “You will eat a fly if you continue staring like that.”

“I’m sorry, am I disturbing you in some way?” Nyx realized his reaction was a bit childish. He was a grown man he could just go to her and talk to her, not stare like a creep.

“Yes, you are worse than Tredd! At least he talks to women when he likes them. Or even if he doesn’t. Go talk to her, don’t stare.” Crowe pushed him, but as he turned around the woman was already gone. He looked up and down the street looking for her white clothing but she was nowhere to be seen.

“We might have a problem.” Luche grabbed Tredd by the arm and dragged him behind the saloon in the direction of the of the post office.

“Hey calm down.” Tredd pulled his arm away from Luche’s grip. “What’s wrong with you?”

Luche didn’t say anything, but Tredd could see it in his eyes, the man was freaking out. His panic better be worth it because he was just about to get a discount from one of the girls. Then again who wouldn’t give him a discount?

Luche stopped at the post office and waited outside, Tredd didn’t ask anything just idly rubbed his spurs against the wall of the building. Luche gave him annoyed look because of the sound, but Tredd ignored him. He could live with that.

Five minutes later a tall man walked out of the post office and as soon as Luche saw him, he grabbed him by the coat and shoved him in the alley next to the building. Tredd reacted a bit calmer, first he looked around to see if somebody was observing, then he followed Luche as if they were just going to take a piss at the back.

“What’s your sister doing here?” Luche asked the man pressing him hard against the wall.

“Remove your hands off me, or that would be the last thing you use them for.” The blond man pushed Luche back and he let go. He didn’t seem concerned about the threat more like he wanted to have a conversation. “She is in town, she has the right to be in town. I took her with me so she stops whining how I don’t allow her anywhere”

“She is talking to the sheriff.” Luche rarely showed panic or fear but Tredd could sense both in his voice right now.

“Who is that?” the man pointed at Tredd.

“That’s our fifth man. Tredd Furia, that’s Ravus Nox Fleuret.” Luche introduced them quickly and Tredd tipped his hat to respond to the absolutely unimpressed look on Ravus’ face. “Your sister?”

“She is friends with the sheriff, I don’t know what her deal is, I don’t care.” Ravus dismissed him. “She knows nothing. I haven’t mentioned anything to her, and I haven’t discussed business anywhere near her. She is probably complaining how I don’t allow her anywhere.”

Tredd managed to gather the pieces and realized why Luche was freaking out. Supposedly the sister of that guy, whoever she was, was friends with the sheriff. Nice.

“Now if you excuse me.” Ravus walked away from them. “Don’t forget. In two days.”

Luche waved with his hand dismissing him and the man just walked away.

“What was that all about?” Tredd leaned against the opposite wall and reached for some tobacco from his pocket.

“He is one of the guys I told you about last night. Rich boy, lost his family fortune after his parents died. Brough his sister here because it’s cheaper, far away from debt collectors and he was hoping to succeed with horse selling business. Doesn’t work well for him, but he has other skills that we need.” Luche explained as he was rolling a cigarette himself. Tredd smiled. The man never smoked unless he was under pressure. “We have something to take care of. We need horses.”

“We have horses.” Tredd lit the cigarette and winced. He wasn’t buying a horse now, he could barely afford his drinks.

“No, the horse I trust is memorable colour, so is yours.” Luche took his hat off and cleared the dust from his face. “We need brown animals, something common, something you see and you forget.”

“Nyx’s horse.” Tredd suggested. He didn’t really care about Nyx or his horse. “And you said your friend breeds horses.”

“Nyx’s horse.” Luche repeated. “The Marshal has been snigging around Ravus. If one of his horses is involved in robbery, Cor Leonis won’t let go so easily. We need one more.”

“There is a wealthy rancher south of here. I’m sure we can find our forgettable horse there.” Tredd had heard stories from the saloon girls about that rancher. Wealthy man, owning vast land where he had cattle, gardens and horses. Some of the girls knew his son because he visited them and the little rich boy liked to talk it seemed. Tredd could figure everything he needed. “Give me a night and I will figure out how to do it.

“Okay I will figure a way how to make sure Nyx doesn’t notice his horse missing for about a day. You do your thing tonight, tomorrow morning we shop for supplies, at night we steal the horses.”

I'll kiss it better

Hi! This is the first fanfiction ive ever written, so hope its not that bad! Its a trixya highschool au where they’re both girls. The whole story will be Trixie’s POV :) also im from Norway so my English is not the best so sorry if there is alot of misstakes :(( hope you enjoy this anyway !

It was just a regular day, nothing new. The day had started with trixie aplying her barbie makeup, putting on one of her too many pink outfits, having classes that she was focused in, meeting her friends Violet and Pearl and eating gross food in the cafeteria. All tho, a day wouldnt be normal without spending her luch staring across the room at the popular’s table. Not that she cared that they were popular, but she did care that the most beautiful girl she had ever layed eyes on was on of them.

“Trixie! Omg can you stop looking at Katya and focus on me for a few minutes??” Violet said frowning at Trixie that clearly had spaced out in the middle of Violets monologs about herself.

“Wait what did you say?” Trixie looked back at Pearl and Violet who were both looking at her, Violet rolling her eyes as usual.

“If you wasnt so focused on ms. I let the whole school bang me, you would have heard that i was talking about what im going to wear for my next model job next week.” Violet said looking back at Pearl who gave her a sympathetic look, knowing how much Violet became annoyed when people didnt listen to her.

“Im sorryyyy. Its just that-”

“Yes yes Katya is beautiful, katya is amazing and Katya is the best creature that has ever lived, we know.” Violet said looking more upset.

“But i mean she may be-”

“No Trixie. She is not a lesbian. She has sucked off half of the football team, also, i dont even get why a slut like her would be popular.” She said crossing her arms like a kid throwing a tantrum.

Trixie hated how much Violet disliked Katya. It was obvious that she was jealous of her populaity, but no one ever said anything. Pearl was too busy loving Violet and supporting everything she said, and Max who usually sat with them, was too shy to say somthing unless it was about something being too vulgar for her. Trixie usually ignored her and focused back at Katya, but calling her a slut was not ok.

“Just because she likes dick doesnt mean she is a slut.” Trixie said trying to defend Katya like she had been her best friend since kindergarten.

“Trixie omg you just said it yourself, she likes dicks not pussy so get over it already.”

The bell rang before Trixie got to say anything else, so she ended up just rolling her eyes and got out of the cafeteria as fast as she could.

The next class was maths, and even tho Trixie liked to focus on her school work, she couldnt help but think about what Violet had said. Its not like she belived it herself that Katya was a lesbian or a bisexual, but thinking she was straight was way too negative. The sadest part was probably the fact that Katya didnt even know who Trixie was, even after soon 3 years in high school. Not that Trixie had noticed Katya before the start of the 3rd year either, but it sucked having a crush on someone who had abselutely no idea that you existed.

It was a week later, and Trixie was sitting in the cafeteria again, listening to Violet talk about how her photoshoot had gone yesterday. Today Max sat beside her on their table and listened with full enthusiasm while she was talking. She heard something about the photographer being a pervert and Pearl getting upset over this and Max wanting to call the police, but honestly right now she couldnt care less, cause Katya was wearing shorts for the first time since fall and her ass looked so great in them. Not to mention her hair being tied up in a long curly ponytail and a black crop top with some sort of cigarette print on it, to be honest it was hard to say with Katya being on the other side of the room, but at least she got to stare at her from behind, which might have been the greatest part of her week. She started thinking about how it would be to actually talk with her, she always laughed loud and had the biggest and most happy smile she had ever seen, so she could probably do it if she went for it. Pffth like she was ever gonna be brave enough to even say hi to her in the hall, at least not with her bitch committee following her.

“Are you staring at that girl again?” Asked Max looking at her with a hopeless look. Max was the one she had known the logest and probably the most supportive of the group, but it didnt mean she helped alot in her crush situation.

“No no, i was just, um thinking about the math test next week, thats all.” Trixie said with a half smile and got her focus away from Katya.

“You need to get yourself together and say hi soon. You cant just stare at her for two years without even trying.” It was the most suportive comment she had gotten out of any of them forever and she was happy with Max trying to help her. Not that it was helping but at least it wasnt Violet saying focus on me and not that slut.

“But she doesnt even know i exist…” She sight and got up ready to get to her next class.

“Try a hi anyways, unless you dont want her to know that you exist.” Pearl said as they walked on their way to their different classes.

Trixie was daydreaming on her way to her class, thinking about all sort of things, till she was half way up the stairs. She felt someone behind her lifting up her skirt. At that moment she was so unconfortable and upset that she turned around, ready to punch the pervert who was trying to take a peek at her panties. There was a bunch of people, both boys and girls standing behind her giggling and wispering to each other, but at the very front, right in front of her was Katya. She was trying not to burst into laughter while her friends around her was laughing their asses of.

Trixie felt her cheeks heat up and she turned around and ran up the stairs almost tripping, but made it into on of the bathroom stalls. She felt tears running down her cheeks as she thought about the most embarrassing thing ever happening to her comming true. There she was having this great idea that Katya was this amazing person who everyone liked because she was funny and warm hearted. She was wrong, she was just another part of the whole mean girls group. She couldnt belive why anyone, at least not her, would do that to her for no reason other than a laugh. She was angry at her, and most of all herself for letting herself having a crush on her for so long when in reality she was just this cold hearted bitch.

That night was filled with ice cream and her three friend spening their time talking about how much of a bitch the mean girls are and why Trixie shouldnt blame herself for wearing short skirts.

“She was probably just tring to act cool in front of the guys. Not that im taking her side, but maybe its more to the story?” Pearl said trying to find out why she would do that.

“I mean i already said she was a filthy slu-”

“Language Violet.” Max interrupted.

“Omg shut up. I already said she was an attention seeking bitch.” Violet said looking back at Max to see if he was alright with her saying bitch, Max gave her a look of approval.

“I know you did, b-but i still dont get why i could have a cursh on her when she was this kind of person all along..” She tried holding back herself from tearing up again.

“You didnt know sweetheart, its not your fault.” Max said and gave her another hug.

“Look tomorrow you’re gonna go over to her with confidence and tell her to fuck off ok?” Violet said and looked at the other people shaking their heads.

“No thats just being imature Violet, let her ignore her if she wants to, maybe its just better to forget the whole situation.” Max said, but Trixie didnt really listen anymore, she as tired from crying the whole night and wanted nothing more than to forget this day and most of all, forget Katya.

Here we go! Time for some Cowboy AU. I posted few headcanons some time ago which you can find here and here. This chapter is just a prologue, setting up the pace, giving some backstory on who is who and what. Those are not all the characters that will appear or have POV. Ravus, Luna, Loqi, Titus and others are also somewhere around this wild west Insomnia. The POV will change depening what serves the purpose of the story so there will be more POVs in the next chapters (Including Gladio, Noct and Ravus). As for pairings…now I had an idea about pairings, but then my plot took a twist and thes epairings didn’t work anymore for me. I will leave that open for now and see where the story goes.

Questions and anything else are more than welcomed.

Fic Title: Take It and Run - Prologue Rating: G (later chapters might be NSFW so I will write individual warnings for each chapter) Characters: Cor, Luche, Noctis, Glado, Ignis, Prompto, Tredd, Nyx, Luna, Ravus, Libertus, Crowe.

Tagging: @birdsandivory @jojopitcher (howdy) @lazarustrashpit @themissimmortal @yourcoolfriendwithallthecandy @fromunseeliecourt @theyearofdiamonddogs @kairakara101 (Luche with cowboy boots?)

If I missed someone or want to be tagged on later chapters, do let me know. If you don’t want to be tagged, do the same.

Cor watched as the long line of cattle was passing on the way to the stockyards. That was the third group for the week, which mean third group of cowboys in the town which meant three times the chance of trouble. He pulled his black hat over his eyes as if that was going to reduce his trouble.

“I count seven.” Gladio commented next to him. “One is a woman.”

Cor didn’t respond. Seven, eight or ten it didn’t really matter. It took three men last year to turn the whole town upside down and bring it on the verge of destruction, he wasn’t going to allow that again.

“Let me guess. They were all armed.” Cor groaned knowing the sheriff’s plan won’t work.

“You should become a fortuneteller.” Gladio said sarcastically next to him.

One year ago, three men rode in town and robbed the bank. They had used the perfect opportunity; the town was filled with cowboys driving their cattle to the train station. There were some issues on the track and the train was late making both cowboys and townsfolk frustrated. Which lead to chaos and too much on Cor and Clarus’ hands than they could deal with. The three men had chosen the perfect opportunity not leaving a single penny in the safe. Cor didn’t care much about the money, yes it was a problem for the townspeople, but they were insured so that was solved eventually. The robbers left six corpses behind two of them were of the mayor and the sheriff. In one day he lost two of his best friends and he couldn’t do anything.

Luche was taking the saddle off his horse as Tredd whistled and pointed behind him. He placed the saddle back on the back of the horse, freeing his hand in case there was trouble.

“Howdy!” Tredd greeted loudly, making sure everyone could hear that they had company.

“Sheriff Noctis Lucis Caelum.” Said a man dressed all in black. “Those are my deputies Ignis Scientia and Prompto Argentum.

“Sheriff.” Luche greeted the man with the sheriff’s badge on his chest. The ‘man’ was no older than twenty-five dressed all in black including his boots. “Deputies.” He greeted the two men following him. Ignis was taller, very slender, stylishly dressed with striped shirt and dark pants, absolutely out of place in this dirty place. The other one was probably younger than the sheriff or at least looked younger, parch of golden blond hair covering his head. “To what do we owe the pleasure?”

“There is a sign at the entrance of the towns. Guns are not allowed and have to be left at the sheriff’s office.” Luche could give that to the young sheriff at least he sounded serious.

“Must have missed the sign.” He took his hat off his head and tapped it with a hand making a cloud of dust around it. “All that dust, makes it hard to see sometimes.” He offered them a forced smiled, Tredd moved closer to him.

“How long do you plan to stay?” the sheriff asked, his eyes quickly moving on Tredd to assess if he was danger.

“Couple of days. A week.” Tredd said and spat loudly. “There are two other herds ahead of us and we have money to spend once we get the cattle going. Unless there was a sign telling us not to spend money here either.”

Luche wondered how much was this new sheriff worth and how far he could push him. Just looing at him and the two deputies he was sure if the need called, both him and Tredd could probably make short work of them. Of course, that would bring the Marshal running which was something he needed to avoid. But he was curious, so curious. Luche moved his right hand toward his gun and before he even blinket there was a revolver pointed at his head and another at Tredd’s who didn’t even realize what caused the commotion.

“I would do that slowly if I were you.” Said the blond man and Luche chuckled. That kid was fast. Probably faster than him. The sheriff and the other deputy didn’t flinch which meant they have perfect confidence in the young man’s abilities.

“I was just relinquishing my weapon…” Luche was still smiling but this time he moved his hand very slowly, undoing his gun belt and throwing it toward the sleek deputy. “Careful it’s dirty.”

Tredd followed his lead, no questions asked. The redhead had big mouth and was prone to fast actions, but new when he had to follow the lead.

“I expect the other five in your group would bring their guns to the sheriff station before sunset. When you decide to leave town, you can have your weapons back.” The sheriff said as his deputy moved his own revolvers down.

“Sheriff a question.” Luche said just before the men were about to leave. “See, we have been stopping here every year for would be five years now I believe. You never had a gun law like that and I remember your sheriff as Clarus Amiticia. What changed?”

“The old sheriff was murdered last year.” The nicely dressed deputy explained, the sheriff had his eyes narrowed at Luche as if deciding if he wants to hang him or not. “The currently sheriff decided it’s safer if cowboys don’t carry guns in town.”

Luche wanted to ask safer for whom, but didn’t. The townspeople were still allowed to carry guns.

“Let’s hope it is safer.” Was the only thing Luche said before the three men left. Tredd gave him a very angry look once they were all alone. “I will find you a gun don’t worry. Go tell Nyx and the rest they need to pay they respects to the local authorities.”

Cor watched as Noctis and the others walked back to the sheriff station with two gun belts. There were no shots and no shouts s he considered that to be small victory. He had allowed Regis and Clarus to die, he wasn’t going to allow the same to happen to Noctis. It wasn’t his job to police the town, but he was going to do it if that was the only way to prevent the events from last year happening again.
