omg, I've been thinking a lot about Selina Kyle's apprentice/daughter who is super badass and maybe one of the batboys/girls has a crush on her since she's always around with Selina (but not as involved with the batfam as Selina) and I think this is so cute/funny, what do you think about it???

I hope headcanons are ok!

DC MASTERLIST

⛤⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽⛧☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅⛤

* it was a rare occasion for them to actually see you.

* Sure, Selina and Bruce saw eachother fairly often, but that doesn’t mean that they’ll see you with her.

* And that wasn’t always because you weren’t there. Most of the time you were. You were just sly. As quiet as a mouse and as quick as a cat.

* Often you were there even if they didn’t want you to be.

* It was part of the reason they adored you so much.

* They often admired you from afar. You knew they did.

* Whenever you were around with Selina, they would pester hang out with you, trying to gauge all of your secrets.

* Dick and Jason like to try and sneak up on you. It never worked of course, but they liked to try.

* If they weren’t doing that then they were trying to get you to teach them everything you knew.

* And though they would rather die than admit it; each of them had harboured a crush on you many times.

* Whether it was from something particularly cool that you had done or for other reasons.

* They would also invite you to hang out with them whenever you were around because they knew that you would vanish suddenly with no certainly of when you would return.

* You always did though.

* Even if it was just to keep an eye on them. Secretly you enjoyed hanging out with them too.

𝗣𝗬𝗥𝗔𝗠𝗜𝗗 𝗚𝗔𝗠𝗘'𝗦 𝗅𝗈𝗏𝖾 𝖿𝗈𝗋 𝗒𝗈𝗎

𝗌𝗒𝗉𝗇𝗈𝗌𝗂𝗌 how the pyramid game characters show they're undying love for you! as subtle as it may be or as obvious as possible

𝖺/n god this kdrama is SOO good! i know it's a bit new but i got sad at the lack of fics ;(

btw, eunjueng n yerim don't like eachother here (boooo!!)

S𝖴𝖭𝖦 𝖲𝖮𝖮-𝖩𝖨

this main characters almost curses herself for falling in love with you! i mean, sure, you're talented, nice.. amazing.. pretty.. but she's trying to destroy the pyramid game! and you're distracting her so much. maybe talking to you and sitting next to you in half of your classes will help, yeah!

she sweats, trying to start any small talk with you. of course, it's not obvious at all. sooji has a talent of acting calm and stuff. when she asks you the time, and you turn on your phone to reveal the time and coincidentally, what song your headphones are playing, she quickly makes a conversation with you about the artist. you quickly become friends.

but like.. it's just for you to join them in defeating the game! at least that's what she tells jaeun.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

𝖬𝖸𝖤𝖮𝖭𝖦 𝖩𝖠-𝖤𝖴𝖭

ja-eun has always liked you, you were the only reason she kinda.. stayed alive during her continuous years of being grade F. you (mostly) always stayed in grade C but even if you moved into D, or even F, you were always with her. one time, you actually moved into the F grade with her and she won't ever forget how you giggled on the floor with her after getting beat up.

she hated that moment, but loved seeing you giggling over the saddest things, really.

she always admired you a lot, and that special friendship slowly turned into love. she would feel special as you reject your other, more popular, friends to eat with the school's outcast.

you were one of the first people she brought home, and you even called her mom once! though, it hurt when you introduced yourself as her friend. she wanted to be more, so, so badly.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

𝖡𝖠𝖤𝖪 𝖧𝖠-𝖱𝖨𝖭

harin never really.. liked you. you thought, because she would always stare at you with that lifeless, shiver inducing stare. you never really understood why everyone liked her so much because of this.

but it was all wrong, harin liked you a whole lot. but god knows she would rather die than admit that. she's secretly praying for the day you confess your secret love for her, as you ramble how you were too shy to say so because she's so rich and popular and pretty, and then she interrupts you with a kiss and-

"ha-rin! c'mon, let's go to lunch!"

ugh. well, fantasies aside, you were already hers the moment she stared into those beautiful orbs of yours.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

𝖨𝖬 𝖸𝖤-𝖱𝖨𝖬

this idol trainee has always been head over heels for you since you two met! she found you very interesting to say the least, and having lunch with you and eunjeong has.. made her realize some things. like her sexuality

but she brushes it off, not wanting to ruin the friendship you have. to show her love (in a normal, 100% platonic way) constantly buys you stuff like snacks you seem to enjoy, or gifts you might like. she also invites you on shopping sprees, on "friend dates", or to her house to have a sleepover together! or yours, she wouldn't mind either

just be careful when ogling something you want or even show the minimum interest in when on a hangout with her, because you will find it on your desk the day after. maybe with a letter... a flower or two.. or a dozen..

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

𝖲𝖤𝖮 𝖣𝖮-𝖠𝖧

probably the hardest to catch on to. she's a bit cold and tough to crack but after she realizes the tad crush she has on you, it'll be easier to talk with her. if you're lucky you might even get a moment of her smiling!

she always pressures you to study for finals or midterms, well, exams in general. she video calls you sometimes but like, just to be sure you're doing that project due thursday at first period, not because she wants to see that cute little face of yours- i mean, what?

even after all that pressure from her to study, you don't do it as much as she does, so when the teacher isn't looking you whisper into her ear. "do-ah, what's the answer to number 17?" and while she usually never replies when it's someone else, she can make an excuse for you. "a." she whispers back.

after the exam results, you two walk out of school together, you were going to say farewell but she interrupts you. "hey. you owe me for giving you the answer." do-ah was never the one to do things like that, but you complied. "how about a dat- uh, a hangout at a restaurant o-or the movies?" you smiled. getting close to her, you whisper in her ear. "to a restaurant, ey? hehe, a date it is."

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

𝖡𝖠𝖭𝖦 𝖶𝖮𝖮-𝖩𝖨

this cutesy girl had the biggest friend crush on you since you met! i mean you were so pretty and kind, who wouldn't wanna be your friend?! she'd try and eat lunch with you everyday, she'd sit next to you whenever she can (in and out of class) and just really tries to spend time with you whenever she can!

as you get more used to her being all over you all the time, you give in and accept being her friend. i mean, it's not like you ignored her but you kinda thought she was weird and stuff. yet now, she's one of your best friends!

she's with you at all times, and you were there for her when baek ha-rin yelled at her and you were there when she didn't have anyone. when you hugged her, and said everything was going to be okay, wiping her tears as you stared into her eyes, she knew you were the one.

the one for her. she smiled. <3

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

𝖪𝖨𝖬 𝖣𝖠-𝖸𝖤𝖮𝖭

while she's an absolute bitch to everyone else, that changes completely when you're around. she even gets a bit lively, but obviously she's still super mean, in a teasing way!!

she hooks an arm around your shoulder as you two walk together to class, cutting off anyone who wants to try and flirt with you. whenever she's bullying a grade F, just tell her to hangout with you, especially in that tone when she can tell you're sad about her actions, she'll leave them alone immediately.

you're one of the only people she goes to so she can vent and stuff, a lot of times she goes to your house (when your parents aren't around, obviously) and smokes or drinks liquor as she talks about her problems. you're a real comfort for her, well, your presence in general is.

if you ever get into grade F (unlikely, because she has like over half the class threatened to vote for you plus your friends and her), let's say the 'bullying' is a bit different. you guys are just friends, yeah, but she still teases you by saying stuff like how about you give me a kiss?

and well, who are you to reject what a grade A says, right?

hiii, hope you’re doing well :D

Would you be down to write a piece where Klaus is married to a human doctor or nurse and every time he comes back after a fight and is wounded, reader patches him up. And Klaus is like u know I heal. And she’s like shut up and sit. Klaus smirks and obeys as he secretly loves getting tended to by wifey.

Healing Hands

I worried for Klaus daily and nightly. Whether he was immortal or not, pain is pain.

Watching him stumble through the front door bloodied and bruised always made my heart drop. He was careless with himself, if they didn't have the white-oak stake then he didn't worry. He often reminded me that he wouldn't die even if they tore his heart out or burnt him alive.

To be honest that didn't help my fears at all.

I would always look after him after he was injured. Whether it was a couple scrapes here and there or if it was something much, much worse.

For instance, today was simply awful.

Klaus had been missing for nearly three full days when Elijah and Rebekah came in through the door, holding him up. I rushed down the stairs and helped him back up them. Once we got him onto his bed I got my bag out which was essentially a very big first aid kit with a couple extra items, like my surgical string and curved suture needles.

I looked up to find Klaus looked back at me with a small smile on his blood stained lips.

"I'm okay" he whispered raspily.

"No...you're not" I told him and he sighed softly as I opened his blood soaked shirt to expose the very slowly healing stab wounds that carved deep into his abdomen and chest.

"I just need some blood, I'll heal in seconds" he mumbled

"Then I'll put you on a blood drip" I remarked while gently running antiseptic wipes over his wounds, trying not to let his wincing bother me.

"Love-"

"Just be quiet Nik" I whispered "Just let me help"

"okay" he murmured softly, giving in rather quickly which was more and more common recently. I gave a small smile back to him before continuing to carefully stitch him up where he should need it.

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

(switch to 3rd person)

He kept still, his eyes closing as he felt her healing hands caress him better.

Klaus would never admit how much he secretly enjoyed her tending to him. It always reminded him of how much she loved him. No matter what was wrong, she was right there with bandages and wipes to help sooth his hurt.

Usually it was accompanied by a warm bath afterwards, her bare body against his while she traced the places where wounds once were. She would proceed to kiss each spot and then, at last, his lips. Then he would thank her quietly to which she would simply dismiss and once more tell him to be quiet so she could 'treat' him in another way.

By the time they're out of the water, they're probably dirtier than when they got in but neither one of them could care once they were curled up together again.

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

(Back to 1st)

I had my head on his chest, tilted back to gaze up at him. My fingertips danced patterns across his broad chest while his brushes against my scalp.

The room was dark, the curtains closed and door locked. A comfortable silence had been around us for a good while now, our love for one-another always lingered in the air and both our eyes seemed to grow tired as we looked deep into each other.

His rough yet quiet voice broke the quiet but I didn't mind.

"I'm sorry I was gone for so long" he whispered and I smiled softly.

"It wasn't you fault...I'm sorry I wasn't much use in finding you" I always felt a little helpless when it came to saving people. Being a human my skills weren't ever helpful. I tried of course but I would never be as strong or intelligent as those who have lived for centuries.

"I never want you to spend restless nights looking for me. You must know by now that I will always come back to you alive, and you will always be here waiting I hope." His hand stroked the skin of my face making my lashes flutter as I nodded

"I'll always be here, I'll always look after you" I promised. I feel his forehead press to mine, the soft curls of top his head which have grown a little long tickle my face gently.

"And I you sweetheart" he smiled and so did I

"I love you Niklaus" I whispered quietly, kissing his cheek gently

"I love you more, my little nurse"

(Sorry this is so short)

KH X GI Relationship Squares

(There's more ships than these, these are just the ones I can make square charts out of)

Neuvillette -> Wriothesley: A very reliable friend who he's more than happy to go to for advice.

Wriothesley -> Neuvillette: Not so secretly down horrendous. Will never confess first though so he just hopes Neuvi notices his flirting.

Neuvillette -> Arlecchino: Still a bit wary of her, especially since he figured out she threatened Furina, but once those two worked things out he mostly got past it and the two are friends.

Arlecchino -> Neuvillette: Wonders how he put up with Furina's act for so long, but highly respects his dedication.

Arlecchino -> Furina: Couldn't stand her at first, but after learning of her sacrifices she began respecting her and now they're on okay terms.

Furina -> Arlecchino: Terrified of her a lot of the time but also wondering how the hell she's so hot. Glad they're somewhat friends now so she can crush without feeling like an idiot.

Furina -> Neuvillette: A bit awkward around him at the moment due to wanting to avoid all aspects of her time as an Archon, but still cares about him deeply.

Neuvillette -> Furina: Always cared despite his annoyances, but now he knows the truth he just wants to do whatever he can to make her happy.

Wriothesley -> Arlecchino: Doesn't like Fatui in general but he can't deny how much she helped Fontaine.

Arlecchino -> Wriothesley: Impressed by the work he did to Meropide, but after hearing how he tormented with Lyney just for fun to the point it activated his darkness she's been resisting the urge to go down there and slap him.

Wriothesley -> Furina: Doesn’t know her too well but thinks she’s nice from the little he’s seen

Furina -> Wriothesley: Doesn’t know him that well but Neuvillette talks about him fondly and that’s enough for him to get her seal of approval

(More under cut)

(Also probably a bad post to have this on but please support me on ko-fi here )

(Context, Ei get's exiled for a bit after the Archon quest and when she's allowed back she and Ayato are almost dragged into an arranged political marriage to keep things stable, so the gang, led by Miko and Thoma, have to stop the wedding. They do, but Miko repurpose's it into a wedding for her and Ei.)

Ei -> Ayato: Overall thinks he's pleasant and dependable, but their relationship is strictly professional.

Ayato -> Ei: Glad she's finally ending the Decree's holding Inazuma back, but sweet Celestia never make them almost get married again-

Ei -> Miko: Never stopped loving her but prior to them getting remarried thought that Miko hated her.

Miko -> Ei: Missed her dearly for those 500 ish years but would rather die than admit it, the wedding ended up being the push she needed to finally admit she loved her.

Miko -> Thoma: Not as fun to tease as Gorou but still fun, has more respect for him now.

Thoma -> Miko: Still a bit afraid of her but nowhere near as much.

Thoma -> Ayato: Loves but is worried about how the nobles would react to them being together, main reason their relationship was a secret to the point the arranged marriage almost happened.

Ayato -> Thoma: Loves him to the ends of the earth, only kept the relationship secret due to Thoma's worries, but once he gatecrashed the wedding Ayato had no problem finally proclaiming his love.

Ayato -> Miko: Worried she's a bad influence on Ayaka but outside of that genuinely enjoys her company.

Miko -> Ayato: Known him since he was little, glad there's someone in Inazuma who can keep up with her.

Ei -> Thoma: Barely knows he exists but is happy for him and Ayato.

Thoma -> Ei: Has complicated feelings about and does his best to just stay out of her way to not make things awkward.

Lumine -> Xiao: Fell hard the second she met him, but the more she learned about him the more she wanted to get close to and help him

Xiao -> Lumine: Wasn't sure what to think at first, but between her kicking Osail's ass and their somewhat date at the Lantern Rite he fell hard.

Xiao -> Venti: Has had feelings for him ever since Venti saved him, but hesitant to pursue them due to self esteem issues.

Venti -> Xiao: Pretty down bad but more so just wants him to love himself

Venti -> Lyney: Pretty good friend.

Lyney -> Venti: Bit awkward around because well, Fatui and Archon, but still enjoys spending time with him.

Lyney -> Lumine: Was initially just planning on charming her so she could help save Fontaine, but he became down bad and started flirting for real REALLY quick.

Lumine -> Lyney: Always attracted to him but it wasn’t until Lyney’s quest plus Meropide that she truly realised she was down bad.

Lumine -> Venti: Cares about him a lot but wishes they’d be more honest about his feelings.

Venti -> Lumine: You know those best friends turned couples that still act like besties, yeah that’s them.

Xiao -> Lyney: At first only staying close so he didn’t try anything funny with Lumine, but after a while the magicians charm worked on him as well.

Lyney -> Xiao: Was mostly just teasing his new pretty friend at first, but once he realised Xiao was crushing he went ‘okay this sounds fun let’s do it’

Companions favorite Disney movie?

A/N: Howdy, howdy, folks! I know it's been a while, but I hope y'all enjoy these! 🥰💙💛 I've been extremely busy and have sort of lost motivation for this fandom, but I'm going to try to play Fo4 soon and see if I can muster up some more motivation 😊 I still have some fanfic to write and some reactions to do and I've got to get my butt in gear!

Cait - Brave. It might seem like the obvious choice because, well... ginger twinsies.... But she loves it because of the constant action and the fact that Merida wields a sword and a bow while also riding a horse often at the same time. She also secretly sort of finds herself vicariously living through Merida and wishing she would have had a family like hers with parents that actually loved her.

Curie - Inside Out. It's sciency and presents a fun, creative way of examining the brain's functions. She would prefer that Disney be more realistic, but despite her slight disappointment, she also understands that it has to be presented in a child-friendly way that would keep a kid's attention. A close second for her would be Big Hero 6. Honey Lemon is her hero.

Piper - Zootopia. She finds herself very much relating to Judy Hopps most days. Just a girl in a big city and a big world with the chips stacked against her and hardly anyone on her side as she fights the good fight. She also enjoys Judy's optimistic, sarcastic, energetic spirit that she upkeeps in the face of adversity. It's something that Piper herself has done her best to maintain.

MacCready - Finding Nemo. As a concerned dad with a struggling young son of his own, he can relate to this movie greatly. Plus, a bonus is that he likes to mess with F!Sole about being Dory, which she never seems to appreciate nearly as much as he does most days.

Deacon - The Emperor's New Groove. All of the jokes and the lightheartedness of the overall movie is totally Deacon's style. He always quotes the movie afterward and drives everyone at HQ crazy with his rather awful impression of Yzma.

Codsworth - Flubber. He sort of is crushing on Weebo the robot assistant. Granted, he says he has no sort of manner in which to facilitate such feelings since he is not programmed to feel things like that, but he raves over her enough that everyone can see he clearly has some manner of feelings.

Hancock - A Bug's Life. He doesn't really know why, but it cracks him up every time he turns it on. Of course, he's usually high when he's watched it, but that's not the important part. The important thing is that it's anti-grasshoppers and after the stuff he saw at Nuka-World, that suits him just fine.

Danse - Toy Story. He would rather die than admit it, but he likes the movie for the odd reason that he heavily relates to the spaceman. His perspective on life and his soldier-like dedication to his mission is truly outstanding. He also strangely relates to him in many ways, but he's not quite sure why.

Preston - Brother Bear. He enjoys the deep feelings and meaning behind the film. It's such an underrated yet good film and it has a really great sound track as well. He also has a strange affinity for Toy Story because of Woody and his steady dependability.

Valentine - Old Yeller. It's traditional and it has that sense of old-timey living that Nick can appreciate. He also enjoys the deep emotional quality of the film and the fact that it's about a good, loyal, brave dog. Kind of like Dogmeat.

X6-88 - Maleficent. He enjoys her sense of humor and her sense of taking care of business and revenge when people do her wrong. However, his favorite non-Disney movie is The Matrix. He firmly believes the coursers' design is based on Morpheus and he secretly thinks he looks like him most out of the courser models.

Dogmeat - The Fox and the Hound. He loves nothing more than to howl along with the dog on there. Finally a movie that actually has a character that speaks his language! The dog also actually successfully befriends other animals in a way that Dogmeat never seems to do too well since they're always trying to stomp on him or kill him. He also is a fan of Bolt.

Strong - Monster's Inc. Firstly, Strong doesn't like movies. They're confusing and make no sense because what do you mean those things are not really there? They're standing right in front of him! But he likes Monster's Inc more than most because Mike Wazowski looks like a super-mutant. An ugly, one-eyed freak super-mutant, but nevertheless one of his kind.

Okay, hear me out but imagine Lo'ak having a human as his girlfriend. She is much taller than most people at the lab and when she uses her avatar she is even much taller than Lo'ak, even taller than most adults in the clan. I just imagine Y/n teasing the life out of Lo'ak for him being shorter than her. I have a feeling that Lo'ak would sometimes get grumpy cause of it and try to walk away and then Y/n casually grabs him by the shoulder, turns him around and throws him over her shoulder while laughing, while Lo'ak keeps yelling at her to put him down and Y/n simply laughs. 🥺🤣

Hi! sorry for the long wait on this one! But here is your fic! this one was fun to write! Enjoy!

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

Pup and Tsawl

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? HOLY SHIT! WHAT THE FUCK?!" lo'ak was cussing far more than usual. Pacing back and forth as his siblings laugh at him like it was peak comedy for them.

Standing in front of them all was his one and only lover, who is standing in her avatar body proudly at 8'3 tall. Easily over towering lo'ak. He refuses to admit it but it was clear to see that his pride was hurt. In his lover's human body, she stood at 6'5, which makes her taller than any other human.

Her human height wasn't a problem, lo'ak was still taller than her, and enjoy her being smaller. But now he secretly hates his girlfriend having a na'vi body. She quickly earned the name Tsawl.

Norm suspected the height genes must have been so strong it carried to her avatar. Now her height wasn't abnormal, but she was 14, and was the height of a fully grown female na'vi. Young na'vi around her age would be in the height between kiri and lo'ak. So, it was a surprise for everyone.

So while lo'ak sulked and groaned, Tsawl was happy, not just because she gets to fully experience the world of Pandora, but to enjoy her teasing of lo'ak. While she would giving him loving pet names, one became a reoccurring name, pup. Lo'ak doesn't enjoy the name but doesn't stop his lover from calling him that.

What hurts lo'ak's pride the most is just how EASY his girlfriend can pick him up! "its like holding spider!" she would say. His siblings would take the joy from all the teasing, and to add more salt to the wound, Tsawl would pick him up and SPIN HIM AROUND LIKE SOME BABY!!

Not only did his parent see that, but the entire village saw it. Lo'ak had enough and left to mellow in his own thoughts. Tsawl did regret what she did and would find him to apologize.

"I'm sorry I did that lo'ak...I got too caught up in the fun to not realize your feelings" she said sincerely. Lo'ak understood but explained how it did stab his pride. So after forgiving, would things shift a bit. Just a bit.

Tsawl would make it clear that ONLY SHE can call lo'ak "pup" and no one else. If they do, they get their ass, human or na'vi she doesn't care. And as time went on, lo'ak got used to the height thing, and would even come to secretly enjoy being embraced by his lover and not the other way around.

One thing lo'ak would chose to die rather than admit, is that he likes being the little spoon a bit too much. Tsawl might have the idea but wont say anything as means to preserve her man's pride.

Neteyam and spider still tease about the height thing but if falls on deaf's ears now.

Tsawl = big in size

pup = small in size

And that is it for this one! was short but sweet! until next time!

#avatar #na'vi x reader #na'vi avatar #avatar the way of water #na'vi x human #lo'ak #avatar 2 #lo'ak x fem!reader #lo'ak x you #lo'ak te suli tsyeyk'itan #lo'ak fluff #lo'ak x reader #lo'ak x y/n #lo'ak x human reader

Two Dumb Idiots In Love

Summary: Russian spies had infiltrated Hawkins but even that couldn't make these two put their differences aside. Or could it?

Pairing: Steve Harrington x Fem Henderson!Reader

Requested: Yes

Warnings: spoilers for season three, enemies to lovers

Notes: feedback is always welcome, especially since i don't think this is my best, requests are open

"We're going down!" Steve shouts, screaming at the top of his lungs, his back pressed against the wall, as the secret Russian elevator dropped down the shaft at immense speed. "We're going down!" He repeats, as though they were the only words he knew.

"Yeah, no shit, Harrington!" Robin snaps back, his constant screaming like an irritating itch that wouldn't go away.

"I am supposed to be on a date right now. I am supposed to be on a date right now!" Y/N repeats to herself, holding onto the shelf like her life depended on it. Her brother was on the opposite side of the elevator, pressing the various buttons inside the control panel, with Erica pushing him aside to press the buttons herself. "Hey, Dustin, the next time you tell me that Russian spies have infiltrated Hawkins, I'm going to look you in the eyes, I'm going to tell you you're insane, and then I'm going to laugh in your face!" Dustin rolls his eyes, pushing Erica away as he proceeds to press the buttons again. "Ray is probably-"

"Ray?" Steve scoffs, forgetting about their current situation to focus on Y/N. "Ray Hall? Ray Hall asked you out on a date? Ray Hall and you?"

"Are you done?" She bites back, still holding onto the shelf as she steadily moves toward him. His laugh echoes off the inner walls of the elevator, mocking her. "Why are you even bothered?" She asks, raising her eyebrows. "I hope you're not jealous-"

"Jealous of Ray?" His expression twists, his face scrunching up to show his disgust. "Don't flatter yourself, sweetheart."

"Don't call me sweetheart!"

"Why?" Steve goads her, pushing off the wall and grabbing at the end of the shelf. "Why can't I call you sweetheart?" He looks down at her, steadily taking one hand off the bar to brush his fingers through his hair, enjoying the way her eyes watch him. A smug grin tugs on the corners of his mouth. "What's the matter? Do you secretly like it when I call you sweetheart?"

She takes another step towards him, a mere few inches of space left between them, their hands brushing against each other, as they hold onto the same bar. "I would rather fucking die than admit something as disgusting as that," she tells him, tilting her head back to look up at him.

"Well, lucky for you, it might just happen."

"At least then I'll be able to enjoy the afterlife without your annoying presence."

"Oh, you'll never get rid of me," his voice was low as he spoke, his eyes flicking between her eyes and her lips, "even in death I'll be there to annoy you."

She raises her eyebrows, a soft chuckle passing her lips. "God, I knew you had an ego, Harrington, but I didn't think you were this full of yourself. You really think you're going to heaven?" His gaze is pulled back to her mouth as she bites her bottom lip, caging in another laugh. "Newsflash, your name isn't on the list; they'll be no entry for Stever Harrington."

"Well, if I'm going to hell, I'm dragging you there with me, baby."

"Hey!" Erica clicks her fingers in front of their faces, the eleven-year-old pushing past Dustin and nearly falling over cardboard boxes to get to them. "If you two could save the flirting-"

"Woah, woah, woah! Pump the breaks!" Steve holds his hand up, batting her hand away from them. "We're not flirting," he defends himself, "I would never flirt with her."

"Now that is something we can both agree on," the older Henderson agreed.

Erica scoffs, rolling her eyes. "And pigs fly!" She turns her back to them, her braids swinging in the air as she moved. "Now, I would greatly appreciate it if you two would help us find a way out of here," she orders, checking through a box for something they could use to pry the door open, "I have a sleepover to be getting to; Tina may cover for me, but if I'm not home for Uncle Jack's party tomorrow, my mom will hunt each and every one of you down, and slit your throat."

"Well, there will be no Uncle Jack's party if we don't get out of here," Robin interjects, pushing boxes to the side with her feet, "so, do as Erica says and put this sexual tension on the back bench until we get out of here."

Dustin points to the ceiling, a metal hatch directly above him. "What if we climbed out?"

"You want us to climb out of here?" Y/N asks, looking at her younger brother in disbelief. "You want us to climb our way up a hundred-foot deep shaft like it's a P.E. lesson?" Dustin didn't see the problem. "Look, Dustin," she steps toward him, placing both hands on his shoulders, "you might have somewhat of a brain inside of that skull of yours, but that is the dumbest idea you have ever had!"

"Yeah, I have to agree," Robin chimes in, "there's no way we can climb out of here."

"But maybe we can get a better signal," Dustin waves the walkie-talkie, "then we can tell someone about the Russian spies and they can come and rescue us."

"What do you think, Petey the Mall Cop is gonna rappel down here and save the day?" Steve asks, pointing out the flaw in Dustin's plan.

"It's the only plan we have," Dustin throws back at him, "so, unless you have another plan that'll help us get out of here and it means you can keep flirting with my sister-" They both pull a face at him, mumbling under their breaths about how they weren't flirting with each other. "-then I suggest you open the hatch."

Hours ticked by and not a single one of Dustin's efforts to contact someone on his walkie-talkie had been successful, which was already a given considering the mall wasn't open for a few more hours. Both Robin and Y/N had tried to explain this to them but Dustin was having none of it, insisting that someone might just pick up their signal. Exhausted, Erica, Dustin and Robin had passed out, using boxes as uncomfortable pillows; Steve had stayed awake to watch over the children and Y/N was sitting on top of the elevator, it being the only place she had to think.

"You should get some sleep too," Steve mumbles, groaning as he hoists himself up onto the roof. He dusts his hands down the front of his shorts, those blue uniform grade sailor shorts bright enough to draw anyone's eye.

"I'll sleep when I'm back in my own bed," she replies, learning early on in life that she could never sleep unless it was in her own bed. Sleepovers were never fun for her or for the parents phoning Mrs Henderson up at two o'clock in the morning because Y/N wanted to go home. It was probably why she was stopped being invited to them. "Why aren't you asleep?"

"Someone has to watch over the kids," he answers, coming to sit in front of her, mirroring her as he crosses his legs.

"I think Erica will be just fine," she half-smiles, "the other two, however, might need a little supervision."

Steve chuckles, "you might just be right about that."

"Of course, I am-"

"-don't say it-"

"-i'm always right."

They both diverted their eyes, Steve looking up at the endless elevator shaft above them and Y/N looking down at her hands, both of them unable to look at each other as they share matching smiles.

"You know," he clears his throat, looking back at her and catching the last few seconds of her smile before it faded, "I was kinda thinking about what Erica said."

"Which bit? She kinda talks a lot," she quips, focusing her attention back on Steve.

"The," he hesitates, the words piling up on the tip of his tongue, waiting to be unleashed. She looks at him, raising her eyebrows and giving him a look that said, spit it out. He sighs. "The bit where she said we were flirting." Her mouth forms an o shape but no sound comes out. "Like, I-I wasn't flirting with you," he covers his awkwardness up with a fake laugh, "I-I would never do that; you're Henderson's big sister, who humiliated me on the first day of freshman year."

"And I would never flirt with someone who has an ego the size of the Titanic," she fires back, assure of her own feelings as she frantically nods her head.

"We're-We're enemies for life," Steve copies her, nodding his head at the same time.

"Exactly!"

He runs his fingers through his hair, pushing back the strands that had fallen over his eyes. "Right," he mumbles, his tongue poking against the inner of his cheek, "and-and you having pretty eyes does not change the fact that I don't like you." He looks into her eyes, his adam's apple bobbing as he gulps down a big mouthful of air. "Like you have really, really pretty eyes," his confession comes out as a whisper.

"Your eyes are kinda pretty too," she misses the chance to catch her words before they come tumbling out of her mouth. But his eyes were pretty. They resembled the colour of the earth, where new life could grow or one could find buried treasure. She got lost in a trance each and every time she had a chance to look into them. "It's just a shame they belong to an asshole," she quickly adds, trying to save her own skin.

"Oh my god!" Dustin pops out of the open hatch like a meerkat pops up out of its hole. "Steve, you like my sister, right?" Steve looks at him with wide eyes and cheeks that were turning the colour of a tomato. "Y/N, I know you've had a crush on Steve since sophomore year-"

"-That is not true!"

"Shut up!" She jumps back at her brother's sudden outburst. "If we managed to make it out of here alive, you two are going on a date! Even if I have to drag you both there, kicking and screaming." Dustin drops back down into the elevator, his feet hitting the floor with a hard thud, the both of them hearing, "I am too young to be this stressed out over someone else's love life; especially one that is my sister's!"

"Sophomore year, huh?"

"Don't even go there," Y/N cuts Steve off, pointing a finger at him, "you can't really say anything when you're currently the same shade as one of those lobsters they let you choose to eat at Enzo's."

"I always thought that was weird," he mumbles, looking off to the side as he thought about it.

"That's because it is."

They sit in silence, the creaking of the elevator shaft echoing around them and the muffled sound of Robin's voice below them. He looks at her and she looks back at him, both of them looking like they wanted to say something, but neither of them has the courage to do so.

Steve clears his throat. "Maybe we could do what the kid said," he suggests, shrugging his shoulders and waving his hands nonsensically in the air.

Y/N nods her head. "Maybe."

"Cool."

"Ugh, finally!" Erica shouts from below. "I thought I was going to have to slap you both with a sign that said: caution, two idiots in love, but they're too dumb to notice!"

trick or treat!

happy halloween! this was the intro to a sequel to heaven or hell or somewhere in between that i never got around to writing

Lucy was starting to miss reckless Lockwood.

Don’t get her wrong—she was over the moon that he’d finally started being cautious. Even if his motives weren’t what Lucy wanted, she could rest easy knowing he wasn’t going to die on her watch.

However, he was starting to get ridiculous.

First was the health food. Lucy wanted to blame their new assistant, Holly Munro, for Lockwood’s descent into the world of salads and fish oil supplements, but that wouldn’t be fair. Lockwood had already lost his mind a bit before hiring Holly. The first time he passed over his turn in the biscuit rotation, George nearly had a conniption fit. “We could all do with fewer sweets,” Lockwood had told George with a good-natured grin. The things George had said in response Lucy wasn’t keen to repeat.

Next were the morning jogs. Even Holly seemed a bit baffled by these, as they were often followed by hours of rapier training. “It seems a bit unnecessary,” she told Lucy over breakfast one day, shaking her head. “I worry he’ll hurt himself like that.” Lucy had responded in Lockwood’s defense—rather rudely, she would admit—but secretly agreed. Perhaps it would be for the best if he put himself out of action for a few weeks. His period of bedrest after being in the hospital had been the most peaceful of Lucy’s life.

The final and most concerning thing, however, was his new bedtime routine. Gone were the days of Lockwood being the last to bed and first to rise. As soon as they returned from a job, Lockwood would begin brewing chamomile tea. After a shower, he’d then take an odd and concerning number of supplements, then listen to a tape of meditations he found in his mother’s belongings, shutting himself away in his room to trick himself into eight hours of sleep. Lucy supposed it should be a happy thing that Lockwood was taking steps towards curing his insomnia, but the intensity of it gave her pause.

“He still looks tired,” she told George one evening as they enjoyed a good Earl Grey and array of donuts after a successful job.

“The idiot’s going to kill himself faster this way,” George agreed with a roll of his eyes. “And, by extension, you. Where will that leave me? Left out, as always.”

Lucy kicked him under the table. “I didn’t ask to be his soulmate.”

“You know, you’re not much better than he is,” George said, pulling his legs out of kicking distance. “It goes both ways.”

She had thought about that, thank you very much. Lucy didn’t need George reminding her that every stupid decision she made could kill Lockwood. “I hope Bobby Vernon’s your soulmate,” she hissed.

“At least I don’t have to worry about him getting shot,” George hissed back.

Headcanons on the LOV helping you decorate for Christmas?

Oh this is timely for me! I’ve been working on decorating for days.

Shigaraki:

Would only help if you pester him about it. Even then, he’d grumble and complain about it.

Totally the type to just toss some ornaments on the tree without caring how they look. Four red ones in a row? Two hanging on the same branch? Some of the lights are out? He doesn’t care.

The only part he would put any effort into is stringing lights up around the ceiling inside. Gamers love their lights.

Dabi:

This lazy guy is not helping. The best you can hope for is getting him to look over and tell you if you got the tree topper straight or not while you’re balancing on a stool to reach it.

The type to complain about decorating being a pain in the ass even though he’s not lifting a finger.

Will secretly really enjoy looking at the decorations, but would rather die than admit it.

Mr. Compress:

Gets really into it. Like, to an almost annoying degree.

He was supposed to be helping you but at some point he just took over decorating duties and you’re just assisting him.

Would be a total perfectionist about it. Every bow on every wreath has to be straight. If even one light is out on a set, he’s upset until he’s fixed it or got a new set.

Toga:

Would be a great, enthusiastic helper… for the first thirty minutes or so. Then she’s bored and disappearing.

Her idea of decorating is just putting Santa hats on everything. The tv? Santa hat. The fridge? Santa hat. The other members of the League? All of them are wearing Santa hats now, whether they like it or not.

Would be the one to catch Dabi looking at the tree with a glint of joy in his eyes and then tease him mercilessly about it.

Spinner:

Like Shigaraki, he loves his lights. He wants the ceiling of every room lined with them.

Unlike Shigaraki, he actually cares how the decorations look and will take pride in the fact that he strung most of the outside lights himself and they look pretty damn good.

Would hum Christmas songs while decorating, then deny it if someone noticed and said something.

Twice:

His decorating style is best described as “chaotic”. The tree looks like an abstract painting and there are badly mismatched colors of lights strung everywhere.

He’s really proud of it though, and will be slightly hurt if he catches you redoing anything he worked on.

He’s actually quite helpful if you can restrict him to just reaching you things you need or hanging specific things exactly where you tell him.

What are your top 12 favorite fairy tale princesses/heroines?

@ariel-seagull-wings Thank you for this question! <3

I admit that this was harder to narrow down than I thought and I am sure that tommorow I'll remember some childhood favorite that I forgot to mention, but here I go:

1) Kate Crackernuts She is the "less bonny" sister who runs away from home, visits the fairy kingdom like it's nothing, single-handedly saves her sister and saves her Prince. This girl has done it all. I wish there were more adaptations though. The Czech one from 1993 is decent but it focuses more on the love story between Anne and the young king, so Kate doesn't have as much space as I would prefer. And with the book retellings being on the rise in the past years, I am surprised that no-one dared to tackle this story…. (there is a book by Katharine Mary Briggs, I've tried to read it but the language-wise it's a very difficult and frankly, boring read)

2) Allerleirauh I love nearly all variants of this tale, be it German Allerleirauh, English Cap-o'-Rushes, Catskin or Czech Princess With the Golden Star. I definitely prefer versions that go with forced marriage to an evil king, rather than to the Princess's own father and many of my favorite adaptations choose this path as well, be it Russian "Donkeyskin" (1982), Czech "Princess With the Golden Star" (1959) or Czech "You're a Princess, Láďa!" (1979) - which is a more comedic version where the Princess crossdresses as a boy and becomes a kitchen helper.

3) The girl (Bohdanka) from The Seven Ravens I like The Wild Swans and The Six Swans variants just as well, but I very much prefer the Czech version where the siblings are not royal and Bohdanka only becomes a Princess by marrying the young king. I love the 2015 Czech adaptation (Netflix), the 1993 is a bit too dramatic for my taste and takes the spotlight from the heroine which I think is a shame. Märchenperlen's The Six Swans from 2012 was on the other hand very well done, with the story concentrated on the bond between the siblings and the love between the girl and the King, as it should be.

4) Cinderella She was my favorite when I was a child and I always enjoyed Němcová's version* which is actually similar to French "Finette Cendron" and has Cinderella killing ogres before the whole shenanigans with balls and slippers even start. *Božena Němcová (1820–1862) was a Czech collector of folk fairytales I need to talk about my favorite adaptations some other time because this post is already getting way too long :).

5) The heroine from East of the Sun and West of the Moon As with Allerleirauh, I like all the variants of this tale I've read so far, I love how it gender reverses the usual trope and it's the heroine who sets off to save her lover who is, for the most part, more of a passive character (ok, special shout out to Black Bull of Norroway, who literally slays a devil/dragon)

6) The Princess from "Fearless Mikesh" Doesn't matter if we're speaking of the written tale by Němcová or one of its film adaptations, such as The Brave Blacksmith (1983) or Fearless (1988), the core story is the same: a young man sets off to learn how to fear and decides to find a kidnapped and/or enchanted princess that disappeared from her kingdom. The princess secretly helps him on his way, often in different forms (as a fox dwarf or an old hag), to test his skills and to lead him to the magician who cursed her. (cool girl, shapeshifting powers probably borrowed from the evil wizard who kidnapped her, helps the hero to save the day)

7) Růženka (Rose) from "The speaking bird, the water of life and the three golden apples" by Božena Němcová (gets magical objects, saves her brothers, resurrects her mother, reunites her parents and calls it a day) Recently a variant of this tale was adapted by Sechs auf einen Streich series: Three Royal Children/Die drei Königskinder from 2019.

8) The Peasant's Wise Daughter from the fairytale of the same name (outwits the king, fights for justice for the lower class)

9) The Princess from The King of Seven Veils ("Il Re dei Sette Veli", collected by Antonio de Nino) It's kinda like gender swapped King Thrushbeard or Němcová's Punished Pride: instead of a proud princess refusing a perfectly nice king, here we have a beautiful but vain king who refuses a lovely princess. And she does what any other girl in her position would do: sets off to the world with a regiment of soldiers (they always come in handy), in one kingdom she saves a princess, in another she saves a queen, before finally arriving the the land of the King of Seven Veils. He falls in love with her and she embroiders his veils with a picture of a monk and a nun (because he said he won't marry her unless he becomes a monk and she becomes a nun), but he doesn't take a hint, so she leaves him an actual written note and returns to her kingdom, so he can pursue her :D. I just had to include at least one Italian fairytale, I love how active the heroines in Italian fairytales are, many of them just literally go around the world and save random people before returning home/finding true love for themselves. And I love this one especially because it was loosely adapted as a Czech 1999 TV fairytale film "The Princess of Rimini" which I adore to bits <3

10) The Frog Princess/Vasilisa the Wise While the Princess from Fearless has magic because of her curse, Vasilisa seems to have magic independent of Koschei's powers. And I am always here for witch-princesses, we need more of them in our fairytales. Shout out to Mila Sivatskaya as Vasilisa the Wise in The Last Warrior (2017) who is literally a kick-ass apprentice of Baba Yaga in this adaptation.

11) Beauty from Beauty and the Beast No, it wouldn't be fair to omit "Belle" whom I loved from Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont's version even before I've seen the timeless Disney movie.

12) Princess Desirée from The White Doe/The Doe in the Woods by Madame d'Aulnoy She is not a particularly active character which might make her a strange choice among the others I named, but I was always fascinated by her curiosity of the outside world and later by her free life in the woods where she's a doe during the day and a human by night. As a child, I thought it was a cool deal and I was disappointed when she got "saved" by the Prince and left the woods where she's been so happy.

Honorable mentions: Fanta-Ghirò the Beautiful, Molly Whuppie, Sorfarina, Janet from Tamlin, youngest princess from Salt Above Gold, Tatterhood…

Do the bastards like to dress up their darling? What do they make her wear (besides nothing)? Does it mesh with their styles?

Oh yes. They very much dress up their girls. It actually causes problems because their styles do not mesh with each other.

Reaver likes exactly what you would expect him to. Slutty cosplay, sexy roleplay outfits (kitten, maid, school girl, etc) and things of that nature. He also really likes it when you dress up as him. He loves putting stupid ears on you, tails, lingerie of the exceptionally kinky variety. He has no shame about this. Literally, think of the sluttiest, most degrading kink costume and just know he will go the extra mile.

In public, he will buy you very nice clothing. The finest brand name bullshit. The height of whatever fashion happens to be in at the time. After all, if you are going to be seen with him, you need to look like you belong at his side. Shopping is one of the ways he will try to buy your affection.

Corvus goes batshit for 'traditional' clothing. Long, white nightgowns, pretty dresses with aprons over them, cottage-core type things you'd see in older tv shows. Cardigans, Mary Janes, aprons, long skirts, aprons, shawls, bows, lace, aprons-- you get the point. If he is providing the wardrobe, you will be dressing like the perfect little housewife of his dreams.

When it comes to 'sexy' clothing, it's his 'traditional' kink' but he is also (secretly) partial to maid outfits (He also loves the super traditional ones over the slutty ones.) He also goes fucking bonkers for nun outfits (again, not the slutty ones that the rest of the boys like, but we're talking traditional hair-shirt/wimple/habit old ass nun outfits. And you will be praying, and that rosary will be choking you and-- never mind.) It's usually immersion over exposure for him, basically. Leashes and collars always. He also likes the slutty roleplay, but you will never get him to admit it-- especially the school girl one which he secretly really likes, but he'd rather die than say that out loud.

Asto is a bit more easy going. He's pretty much partial to however you want to dress because it's not really your clothes that he's interested in. If he has a choice, though? He tends to like leather. He's the most likely to dress you 'goth' because he finds it interesting. Darker clothes and makeup. He got a little bit suckered into the 'vampire' aesthetic, and now he leans into it. Likes fishnet and big boots. Corsets that plump you up nice and high so he can bite in easier. Chokers he can rip off. Garter belts. Same way he likes edgy girls with a kick to them, he will dress you that way.

Sexy clothes? Stands firmly with Reaver on loving roleplay outfits. He will openly admit it and feels no shame. However, he can also get really into whatever traditional outfit that Corvus is wailing on about assuming it's done well. Corvus is throwing a fit and wants a long white nightgown on the girl? Fine, but he's the big, bad vampire lord coming to corrupt the sweet girl in her dumbass ye olde nightgown.

Ilya hasn't had much time to figure it out yet. He's experimenting, the same as he is with most other things. He will openly admit he's partial (more than partial) to Reaver's horrifically degrading outfits, but he hasn't managed to find a favorite yet. He's not as big of a fan of the traditional outfits that Corvus enjoys (like a genuine nun outfit), but he can make it work. He will dress you like a favored concubine because it's what he has the most experience with. Think princess Leia while she's with Jabba the hut. Golden chain, long, flowing and yet somehow revealing skirt, some kind of unlatchable metal bralet, you get the gist. But that's more what he's used to as opposed to what he genuinely loves.

When it comes to regular day to day, he's likely to give you one of his robes. Comfortable with easy access. Satin pants, long sleeves, basically the same thing he wears. Easy enough to peel off, but very comfortable. Trust me, you'll be glad of it. He doesn't mind the traditional clothing that Corvus likes, but he finds Astarion's whole edgy thing more interesting, albeit a little strange. Truthfully, he can find something to like about most modern styles because it intrigues him. Pretty dresses, jeans, sweatpants, he can romanticize just about anything. He won't stuff you into anything you don't like, and will tend to let you dress how you want within reason because there's a reason he likes you, and he wants the authentic you.

Hi darling! I noticed I never shared my thoughts for No Hard Feelings, and with part 3 coming up, I thought I'd catch up. It's a bit much cause it's both for parts 1 and 2.

Nah nah nah. Sam can't fool anyone. She secretly enjoys Tara's little fucker energy, so she is a huge fan or R.

Sam is, to some extent, obviously saying no to Tara and Mindys choices out of pure spite because she is a petty grump but also because she is probably scared of letting someone new into her life. She would rather die than admit that she is scared of getting hurt again and trusting someone new. Bitchie (he who shall not be named) hurt Sam in more ways than just physical. That man baby betrayed her and used her trust to invade her life and try to kill her family. Poor Sammy fears that this will happen again. It keeps her from pursuing a relationship and letting someone new into her life.

With R she likes that she can be herself, her grumpy and bitchy self, because R is accepting her for who she is. Also, Sam really does enjoy Rs sass and stupid jokes. It makes her feel much more relaxed and comfortable with R. Sam's love language is definitely slight bullying/teasing and soft moments.

Now, I think that Sam definitely is a bit mad at herself for falling for R because she rather wants to stay guarded to protect herself. Sam is secretly very insecure; her job, her past and the fear of what could happen kinda makes her feel small and ashamed. She wants to "save/protect" R from that and herself. Her self-esteem is, despite her outwardly confident persona, very low. Thanks to baby duck Bitchie and Woodsboro. Sam is quick to act. She doesn't always think things through and when it comes to feelings she's very stubborn, so it's actually no surprise that instead of talking to R about everything, she chose to run away. To not only prevent her own heart from getting hurt again but also to "protect" R from herself. She doesn't think she's worthy of being with her. Her self doubt is stronger than her desire to have a new relationship.

A few more comments:

- This R is my favorite. She's a menace, absolutely hilarious, her sass is unmatched and she's just a lovely idiot.

- Sam not knowing what pics means is SO in character! Boomer Sam is real. The kys sent me over the edge. I can just image Sam wanting to be sweet and sending that so seriously. Poor baby didn't know better. I love it.

- Honestly I also wanna stare at Sam's boobs. Sam in general is a work of art.

- Sam's banter is THE best. You really are so talented when it comes to writing engaging and captivating characters.

I hope you're doing well and slaying college!

I have been waiting on your No Hard Feelings review for so long!!!

R accepting Sam for who she is, is the biggest thing that made Sam fall for her. She’s never had someone in her life accept with the open arms that R has, and that scares the shit out of her. Hell, even Tara screamed at Sam when she opened up about her father being Billy and revealing the real reason she left Tara. This person that she “hates” is the first person to look at her and say “You’re a grumpy old man and a bitch. But you’re MY grumpy old man and a bitch.”

Sam love language is definitely slight bullying and we will see it in the next chapter(s).

We will also see a bunch of insecurities arise in the part 3, and it will be the main reason for angst. Everything you said about Sam’s insecurities will be seen in that installment as well.

I also love this R so much!! I tried to base her personality off of my own, so I will take it as a compliment when you call her a ‘lovely idiot.’

SAM CARPENTER BOOMER AGENDA!!!!!

Again, I love your reviews so much and they bring me so much happiness!! Thank you for reading my work and analyzing it! 🤍

I’m doing good. I have an anatomy practical and a chemistry exam next week, so depending on how I do will determine how much writing I actually do for the next several weeks 😬

Martha Wells:

"Murderbot is willing to touch people if lives are literally at stake and people will die horribly if it doesn't. It's not going to let someone get eaten by a giant, razor-mawed space worm, even if it means it has to touch them to pull them out of its mouth.

No, this does not mean Murderbot is okay with people touching it in other situations, not even people it likes or considers its friends. It does not want to be hugged, no, not even by the adorable humans it likes. It does not want to be touched even in a platonic 'harmless' way like having someone put their hand on its shoulder by someone it trusts.

It does not like being touched, and it does not like touching people, and this is not up for debate.

It will do what it can to save people's lives, and it will put up with touching people and being touched when lives are literally at stake, but it will not consent to being touched in any other situation.

This is not something Murderbot needs to get over or change, it's something that needs to be respected, just like its dislike of eye contact should be respected.

Dr. Mensah herself realized that she was taking advantage of Murderbot's willingness to protect and help her, even when it means it has to do something it doesn't enjoy, and she commits herself to doing better and stop taking advantage of its willingness to do things it hates for the sake of her mental health.

Just because it helps /her/ to cope with her trauma does not mean it helps Murderbot, and they are both extremely aware of this:

SecUnit is looking down at her. “You can hug me if you need to.” “No. No, that’s all right. I know you don’t care for it.” She wipes her face. There are tears in her eyes, because she’s an idiot. “It’s not terrible.” She can hear the irony under its even tone. “Nevertheless.” She can’t do this. She can’t lean on a being that doesn’t want to be leaned on.

It literally does not like being touched, not even by Mensah. But it is willing to put up with it to help her not have a mental breakdown.

Murderbot hates being touched. It will touch people if the alternative is letting them die, but it will not consent to being touched when people are not in danger. This is not something that need to change or be challenged or "fixed" in any way.

Giving someone CPR after they almost drown does not mean you secretly want to make out with them or anyone else. "

=======

Athiktomisics:

"So what you're saying...is that Murderbot secretly enjoy being touched but is too afraid of rejection to admit it?

Murderbot secretly wants to be touched but thinks it looks cooler by saying it doesn't? It doesn't want to ruin its image as a cool aloof badass who doesn't care?

You're saying people who say they don't like to be touched are actually just in denial or lying about it for attention?

So we should write and draw Murderbot being touched by people and secretly enjoying it while outwardly it protests and tries to play it cool?

We should encourage people to assault others by ignoring their boundaries by purposefully spreading the idea that it's impossible for anyone to truly hate being touched, and anyone who says they don't' want to be touched just doesn't know whats good for them??? O:

You're saying we should invalidate the boundaries of people who are touch-averse by pretending we know their real feeling better than they do???? O: O: O:

=======

Murderbot's literally nonbinary and aroace and autistic and touch-averse and neurodivergent in many ways but the people in this fandom, who claim to love this character, would rather spend their time erasing everything that makes Murderbot who it is, so that they can instead make it palatable and shippable and as normal and neurotypical as possible, while actively ignoring and speaking over the real fucking people who share traits with Murderbot that they're literally perpetuating bigotry against.

------@stingslikeabee gifted:

Valentine's Day was an odd one at the Killer Queen - one of the few occasions where Melissa closed up earlier, and not because she had any plans - but because her employees did. The barmaid wasn't keen on keeping people around when there was no need, so she let all the girls go home during the afternoon, as well as the other people who worked there.

Six lingered behind - as he often did; the empty bar was more of a home to him than a full house, and she didn't mind his silent company while she went through the motions. Melissa was about to turn off the kitchen lights when she saw something on the counter there: a bowl of strawberries, chocolate and a folded note from Charlie (who was working out stuff with his ex-wife) that read 'to my idiot boss and her favorite idiot'.

Melissa laughed then - if it had been anyone else, the woman would have likely ignored the tease, but her cook actually predated her management era. He was some sort of an older brotherly figure, who had been fond of Borys and stayed after she took over. He looked after the barmaid, and likely watched everything from behind the scenes - as much as the tipster tried to deny, she had favorites.

Or rather - a favorite.

Picking up both things, Melissa paused by the bar to grab a bottle of champagne, too - it had been there for ages, not a drink any of the patrons really asked for, but now she was doing the entire thing. The brunette returned to the main room and placed the celebratory items on the pool table, interrupting the solitary game Six was enjoying by himself and offering him a grin as explanation, motioning for him to get closer.

"We're both idiots according to Charlie - it's a gift from him. I suppose he's sad we're both lonely today when he's seeing his ex-wife," Melissa chuckled and made herself comfortable on the edge of the table, proceeding to pick one of the strawberries to dip into the chocolate and inviting Six to stand in-between her legs, offering the delicacy to him with a teasing grin, "Happy Valentine's Day, Six. You are my favorite idiot, you know - Charlie's right."

------HUMANS WERE SILLY little creatures of habit. it was easier to map something into the neurons by doing it repeatedly - a sense of comfort was established, stroked the mind in a way that sent ease into an otherwise shot system. six's system was pretty fucking fried. he'd heard the rumors that sierra agents usually burnt out and he could understand it. in some fashion he'd followed in their steps. turned his back on the program, on the cia, on the people that pointed their fingers and commanded someone die.

it was pretty nice to have bodily autonomy.

there were a lot of people all over the world he got information from. some he'd never met face-to-face ... always through dead drops or coded phone calls. sometimes he had short chats in public places where both parties wore sunglasses and did their best to forget any detail about the other (but secretly remembered everything just in case.) killer queen's was the only place that six kept coming back to. the only place where he struck a rapport with the fixer. the only place he had some shred of familiarity.

he'd liked borys well enough. the man was professional in his own sort of way and never grated against six's nerves. he was one of the people that stuck by when hands switched to melissa and struck some sort of chord there, too. enough that he came in his off-time, when he was stateside. not that he would ever admit those things.

too often he played pool by himself. sometimes another person balled-up and played him, but he was more than content with just games on his own. it was easier for him to keep track of what was going on around him. while regulars and visitors alike knew this was a sanctuary that didn't necessarily mean they abided those rules. occasionally six saw swift justice enacted against those that dare break them. once or twice he'd done it himself. but here he played a game alone on a table he'd moved to and fro more times than he wanted to admit. that meant he earned the right to play the fucking game alone.

he didn't even remember it was a holiday. (and when did a holiday count when it was literally bankrolled by a corporation??) it was just another tuesday night. here six sipped on ice cold water and knocked those little colored balls around while listening to people talk and schmooze, watching the girls bustle around like little bees and charlie whistle in the kitchen so loud that he heard it over the jukebox. sometimes when the song was loud enough people sang along to it like bad karaoke and six enjoyed those moments, privately, because he could just blend in without anyone remembering he was there.

but earlier than most nights the patrons slipped out. then the girls clocked out and scurried home. then charlie fucked off to wherever it was that old, nosy cooks went when they weren't occupying the kitchen. and six lingered, shooting pool while melissa closed things up. because he'd wordlessly walk her home every time he was around, just to be sure she was alright.

sierra six did not do those things willy nilly.

and when melissa wandered over with the champagne and strawberries in tow he already had an eye on her. the game she interrupted had been already paused, evident by how six leaned against the pool table with such a lax posture that deceived how attentive he actually was that it might be cause for balking. " champagne from him, too? "

one brow raised. amusement defined six's features in a subtle sort of way. he knew melissa would pick up on it.

" that's why i'm unmarried. " not the job. not the lack of social life. not the fact that he was owned by the government up until a few years ago. because of whatever song and dance charlie played with his ex wife. (buy that and he'll sell you another). without asking and without waiting to be told he set his pool cue down and reached for the champagne in question. turned out his various tactical skills applied well to popping corks, and the telltale THWUMP gave way to his success.

what would really make him an idiot was if he ignored her wordless invitation. well, mostly wordless. and for a moment he watched her posture, the expression on her face, the curve of her lips ... before he moved to where she'd intended.

he towered over her, even when she perched on the raised edge of the pool table. he didn't blink, either. just canted his head, leaned slightly forward (pushing into personal space well-beyond the definitions of comfortable friendship) and set the bottle down somewhere behind her. " yeah? " how many other idiots did she have? surely just the one.

the question hung for a moment before he bit at the strawberry, snatching it from melissa's fingers with his teeth and pulled back slightly ---not away, before claiming the berry with his own fingers. he bit into it proper, separated most of it from the green top, and chewed.

not once did he look away from her, either. direct eye contact throughout.

" you, too. " happy valentine's day. he reached for a berry on his own, skipped it entirely and opted to dip his middle finger in the chocolate instead, and offered it between he and melissa. in a dare.

even his grin emphasized it.
