A/N: Wellll, hi? hehe, idk either what this is other than a super random drabble that I had to write or else it would've haunted me for the rest of my life LOL (it also might be another excuse to not write my thesis *dies*) Apologies if the humor is not humoring, I usually don't write in this style (at least imo). I hope you enjoy, and let me know your thoughts about it! (divider)

Have you ever had a moment of clear confusion? So profound that no matter how hard you tried making sense of it…it just started making even less sense? That the longer you moved your mind around it, the stronger the headache became. Well, that’s how I felt staring up at the scarily tall guy looking down at me with the softest eyes, which were slightly shaking if I looked close enough. His plush and red lips pulled into the sheepiest grin I’ve ever seen and nose tall and straight, probably sculpted by some God the second he was born. I knew his face, I mean, it would’ve been hard not to when I’ve spent half a year staring back sometimes as I have caught him looking at me numerous times. This guy standing in front of me right now, placing his weight from one leg to another, hands behind himself, and cheeks very slowly flushing, was a predicament I would’ve never even thought I could’ve dreamed of.

“Come again?” I found my voice at last, eyebrows threatening to go past my hairline.

“Are you free right now?” The question sounded innocent enough, but I couldn’t put myself past the graveness of his voice. I would’ve never imagined it could go so low and hold so much rasp, but again, I have barely heard his voice before as he rarely conversed with people around himself.

“Depends why you want to know.” I answered, pushing my hands inside the pockets of my striped spring jacket. The weather was finally warm enough to allow us to wear our lighter fabrics without freezing to death at any given point of the day. The guy standing in front of me hesitated for a second, and then ran his fingers decorated with heavy rings through his silver-blonde hair. The change to it was new, and I would be a liar if I said I wasn’t taken aback by it when I saw it. But it fit him, in a very handsome way, If I must admit that.

“I was just wondering if you’d like to hang out with me…” Oh, well, that was another twist to the plot I had not been expecting. I chuckled, not because I found him funny, just because I knew my two best friends would be hollering on the sidelines hearing this guy’s words. Half a year spent staring at me from the shadows, avoiding eye contact and aggressively watching me when I wasn’t looking, now stood in front of me, looking just as nervous as I felt on the inside, asking me to hang out with him. What sort of alternate universe have I accidentally entered this morning?

“Okay, sure.” He didn’t need to know I actually had one more class. He had finally approached me, was talking to me, looking at me, and acknowledging my existence as one should normally do. That sounded like a good enough reason for me to skip my last class, I’m sure anyone would understand.

“Oh, that’s…” The flush on his cheeks became more prominent now, and he bit his plump bottom lip to stop his lips from spreading into a huge smile, “nice.”

I hummed and offered him a small smile, actually feeling excited about how things were turning out. Even five minutes ago if someone would’ve come up to me to tell me that he’d finally approach me and even ask to hang out, I would’ve laughed in their face.

“Oh, I’m Song Mingi, by the way.” He clumsily reached his hand out, staring at me expectantly. I was so used to his sharp gaze on me that I found myself holding his gaze with a wider smile now, grabbing his hand, and giving it a firm shake. Song Mingi didn’t have to know that I already knew more about him than I should’ve, considering the fact that we were strangers until now. Really, before you start calling me creepy and a stalker, social media exists these days. And let’s be honest, if a mildly attractive guy keeps staring at you every chance he gets, wouldn’t you also be even just a little bit curious about who he is? Call me a magician or simply skillful when it comes to finding people on social media, but it’s been over three months now that I have known his name, and, well, birthday. I might be one of those crazy astrology girls, huge emphasis on being sarcastic right now, astrology girls are awesome when they aren’t fighting demons and regretting every life choice upon one glance at one’s birth chart.

“Lovely finally knowing your name, Song Mingi,” I chuckled, releasing his hand, watching as his eyes widened a little bit, “Oh, you certainly can’t think I haven’t noticed you staring—”

“Oh, I’m sure you have!” Mingi cut me off, chuckling awkwardly, “I didn’t make it very subtle, to be fair.”

“Not at all.” I chuckled amused, flashbacks of his other three friends huddled around, as if we were in kindergarten or something, staring me down while I walked by with, of course, with Mingi in the middle, watching me with a blank face, fierce eyes boring into the back of my head, “I’m Y/N.”

“You have a beautiful name.” Well, perhaps that would’ve made me choke if I had been drinking something, but to my luck I wasn’t, and so I straightened my back, trying to fight off the shyness threatening to cage me in. So far, at least the very little I knew about Mingi by observing him back when he, miraculously, wasn’t paying attention to me, was that he was quiet. Withdrawn and a little even shy, perhaps, but mostly just content in his own world, unbothered by those around him. He rarely spoke, but when he did, I have noticed his friends fighting demons to not die from laughter. And if he turns out to be a funny guy, bingo, isn’t that what every girl wants?

“Thank you,” You have a beautiful face, but I can’t go saying that to him right away, right? “What do you have in mind? I mean, where do you want to hang out?”

And now let’s hope he’s not some dodgy psychopath who hates my loud laugh and made an elaborate plan to slaughter me the second he gets me alone.

“Would you like to go to a coffee shop or would you prefer walking?” Mingi proposed with a gentle smile, his rather sharp features looking dangerously soft and warm as another blush threatened to flush over his cheeks. If he kept on blushing, I might just die from cuteness aggression, “The weather is really nice today…”

It is, but not nicer than you, Song Mingi, “It is, let’s go for a walk, maybe?”

“A walk it is, then.” Mingi sealed the deal with a firm nod of his head, and I couldn’t help but giggle, trying to remind myself that this was really happening and I wasn’t in some alternate universe, or even in dreamland. Wouldn’t be too surprising if this interaction was just a fraction of my imagination; my mind is a scary place when it becomes delusional.

“Would you like to go to the park up on the hill?” That was the nicest park in our city, and well, at this time of hour it was littered with just the perfect amount of people to not become bothersome, but neither scarce. Not that I have trust issues—I do—but this is a complete stranger I just accepted to hang out with, and quite shockingly, I do not wish to become the next true crime topic of some youtuber.

“It’s a lovely spot, but…” Mingi suddenly looked slightly embarrassed as he ruffled his silver-blonde hair, rings glinting deliciously under the sunlight, “it’s a bit far from our university and…I don’t have a car.”

I quickly waved the ridiculous words away as I watched Mingi become more embarrassed, “Don’t worry about it, I have one. We can still go.”

“But…I don’t want you to use fuel just for us to—” I reached out as I grabbed his arm, the sudden physical contact stunning Mingi into silence. Oh, did he also feel the charged spark and instant butterflies taking off in my stomach? Or was I starting to like this guy without actually getting to know him first…

“While fuel is expensive, I love to drive.” I smiled sweetly at him as Mingi licked his tasty looking lips; I can’t seriously think they are tasty when it’s our first time talking, “So don’t worry about it.”

“Are you sure?” His eyebrows furrowed just slightly as he nervously chewed on his lower lip. I nodded and grinned at him, probably doing something no sane person would’ve done. But I have stopped caring a long time ago about what others consider sane or not. Rising on my tiptoes, I slung an arm around Mingi’s shoulders and yanked his head down, just a little closer to my face as I nodded enthusiastically. The way his face became red shouldn’t have made me feel so giddy.

“Extra super-duper sure, Mingi.” He chuckled and poked my cheek, I guess it was my turn being taken by surprise. We stood like two idiots grinning at each other as I released him and he took a step back, running his fingers through his silver-blonde hair again, drawing my attention to it once again. Oh, how could I have forgotten? He was a Leo, was he waiting for my compliment? But before that, I was curious about one thing, “Hey, why do you always stare at me?”

Mingi’s face went blank for a second and it made me think that perhaps now is when his psychotic side comes to light, meaning I would dodge a bullet quite early on, but no, he rubbed his lips with two fingers nervously and averted his eyes, “Uh, well…obviously I’m into you. I mean, you know, why else would I stare at you so much?”

Oh, and he’s blunt. Don’t you just love a man who gets straight to the point?

“Because you’re a psycho who hates my guts and imagines how to kill me any time he sees me?” I offered another option, and watched as Mingi’s eyes widened to the point they would pop.

“No!” He exclaimed, almost looking scared himself, “God, no! You’re pretty, and attractive, and you caught my eye a long time ago, I was just too much of a chicken to approach you before.”

“Well, what changed?” I raised an eyebrow, and Mingi scratched his nape awkwardly.

“Uh, my friends threatened to tell you if I didn’t do it myself.” I chuckled and motioned for him to follow me as I started walking towards the parking lot of our university.

“Took them long enough,” I muttered under my breath, but Mingi’s eyes fixated on me as he heard me, “Well, Mingi, I also must admit you’ve caught my eye. Mainly because you staring so much made me feel uncomfortable until I got used to it, but…you’re quite handsome yourself upon a closer look, I must admit.”

Mingi chuckled, shooting me an amused lopsided smirk, “Means I’ve got a chance.”

“Means you’ve got a chance.” I looked at him with a grin, our gazes locking for a few seconds.

To date or not to date a Leo, is today’s question.

Sakumo and Obito's Parents* Live AU (7 artworks + drabble)

Team Minato Week Day 3: Any AU. It's not one of the suggested ones, but something I've been thinking about too much :3 @teamminatoweek

Kakashi and Obito prevent the terrible thing (they've noticed something has been really wrong with Sakumo). Sakumo, having seen Kakashi's horrified face, gets horrified himself at what he was about to do — not to himself — but to his son, and feels remorse about having almost abandoned his son.

2. After the Kannabi mission, Minato writes one of the most difficult reports in his career. He has to face the parents: Obito's dad and Sakumo. Imagine the moment team Minato returns to the village, but without Obito. Obito's parents, as well as Sakumo, meet them and realize that their son has not returned. Kakashi looks them in the eye and stretches a trembling hand with the goggles in it; they take them, shocked, and feel the sudden dark urge to throw them into something. Or at somebody. The panic. They feel like they're on the edge of a precipice, but a tiny hope that Obito might still be alive — just... lost... just... still breathing — is still there. But then it gets crushed by a detailed report from the team. The eye. Obito's eye. Their son's eye is looking at them from Kakashi's eyesocket, and they don't know what to think. Sakumo doesn't, either. They aren't allowed to look for the body immediately because of secret military operations still going on in the area. They grieve and wait. Soon they get the permission to start their search; grimly, they crush a rock after a rock to get to the bottom, and find… the blood… ninja weapons… pieces of his clothing... Obito's headband… But! NO BODY. And again Obito's parents feel shattered. Did the enemy ninja steal his body? Plucked out the remaining eye? Dissected him? What did they do to the corpse of their poor boy? Obito's parents are too late! Too late… And more weeks of grief and pain ensue. Until Kakashi starts seeing something with his eye. Some cave… After it’s happened a few times, he tells Rin, and she persuades him to talk to Obito's parents.

3. Thanks to Rin, Kakashi approaches Obito's mom and asks her a few questions about the Sharingan. He has to retell her everything again, but in more detail. Kakashi says that he's been seeing something from time to time, but doesn't know what it is... Obito's mom is puzzled, but suddenly a new tiny flicker of hope springs up in the darkness they've been living in for the past few months.

4. Eventually, Obito's parents, Sakumo, and Kakashi find Obito in barely-alive Madara's lair. Black Zetsu escapes, but there is somebody who can capture him and seal him off: Kushina.

5. Kushina loves her secret mission.

6. Jounin Obito, with his parents. Way later :3 *** And if you've read till this point, I have a little drabble for you for dessert about kid Obito getting to know Sakumo. Big thank you to @professor-of-naruto for fixing my mistakes & all the amazing support!!! 💕 💕 💕

***

On warm days like this, Obito loved wandering around in the village and enjoying the lulling buzz of life. Quite often, these walks resulted in curious encounters and even adventures, and today seemed to be the case too. On the hill near the edge of Konoha park sat a man, staring somewhat sadly at the erratic mess of Konoha rooftops and low afternoon clouds, speckled with gold and pink. It was a man Obito had seen from a distance multiple times, but had never had the guts to approach.

Hatake Sakumo had somehow always looked both rugged and elven at the same time. He was tall and wiry, face sun-tanned, vigor emanating from his broad shoulders and spiky silver ponytail, but his eyes were jaded and thoughtful – too many shadows hiding there. There was a certain sternness about the lines on either side of his mouth, but the most gentle and peaceful smile Obito had ever seen offset the rough look of his face. And now, this very smile and a small nod of acknowledgement worked like a magnetic pull on the boy. Enchanted, he came up to the man and sat down nearby.

Kakashi’s father returned to silent contemplation, and Obito bent his eyes to the ground. That man wasn’t a talkative one, pretty much like his son, but did Obito want to know more about him! Sakumo was probably the only person in the whole world who could elicit a huge, brilliant smile from Kakashi. Not that Obito had actually seen that smile (damn mask!), only the crinkled eyes, but more than once, he’d heard their jolly voices and laughter when the pair of them were chatting about the events of the day.

“Hatake-san, nice to meet you. I’m Uchiha Obito,” he began formally, heart pounding in his chest.

Having pulled himself out of his thoughts, Sakumo cocked his head and gave him another serene and endearing smile. “Obito-kun, huh? You’re Kakashi’s friend, right? I’ve seen you playing together.”

“Um... More like a classmate, I guess?” A classmate who wanted to be his friend. Deep down. Probably.

“I’ve heard a lot about you from my son.”

“You have?” Obito’s eyes grew wide, radiating shock and wonder. Of all the things Kakashi and Sakumo could be discussing... Him? Oh, wait. Kakashi had probably been describing to his dad all those stupid situations that involved Obito, or something... They could be funny. In hindsight. Mortified, he hung his head, digging his fingers into the soft grass. So he knows... knows I’m a disaster... knows that I’m nothing like Kakashi…

“He often grumbles about a certain obstinate Uchiha boy who won’t ever leave him in peace. But I can also see how excited he is, looking forward to the fun that every day with you brings.” Suddenly Sakumo laughed, voice deep and resonant. “But around you my little hedgehog is a little standoffish, isn’t he?” (Obito’s ears perked up: A diminutive? For Kakashi? Outlandish). “I can be your friend instead.”

“Is it... Is it okay?” Obito mumbled, still feeling awkward.

“Of course.”

“Hatake-san… Why is Kakashi such a ‘hedgehog’?”

“Sometimes people treat trivial things seriously, and brush serious things off...” he said distantly. “I wish he saw that someday...”

“What are the serious things?” Obito was puzzled. “Just so that I won’t brush them off.”

“I have a feeling you already know,” he said with a playful twinkle in his eyes and ruffled Obito’s hair. “Maybe one day you’ll teach Kakashi a thing or two. If I fail.”

“What do you mean if you fail?!” Obito almost choked. “He listens to no one but you, Hatake-san! And I – I feel like I’m just always getting in the way. He doesn’t care about whatever I say!”

“I don’t think so, Obito-kun.”

“How do you know?”

“If he doesn’t care, then why is he watching us right now and listening to our conversation?”

“What?” Obito looked around nervously. He might have spied on Kakashi… but the other way around? What?!

“Sorry, Kakashi, but you have to come out,” Sakumo called. “I know you’re there.”

And indeed, Kakashi jumped off one of the trees, looking grumpy. “I have to make it clear that I am not a hedgehog,” was all he managed in his red-eared embarrassment. ***

@cool-thymus and I have more Sakumo and the kids art content (Hedgehog Special) 🦔

And if you're STILL here, feast your eyes on the wacky spin-off of the grimdark Kannabi report art (@poetrywise, you absolutely killed me with the description xD):

DJ Minato's psychedelic tunes 😁 *Obito's parents are referenced from the sole photo Obito had on his board both in the manga and anime.

*Obidad's earring is @quintilli0n's headcanon that I genuinely love with all my heart 😁

Hi plz make more of the pet au with Astral express and kafka

(*ˊᗜˋ*)ᵗᑋᵃᐢᵏ ᵞᵒᵘ

Sure! Here you go ^^

Pet! SAHSRAU Drabble

Reader's pronouns: -

Notes: characters turn into animals, possible out-of-character

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

You heard low growls and hisses even before you had reached the room. You twisted the doorknob and threw the door open, hoping that you were just in time to stop their fight.

"Himeko! Kafka!" You called out chidingly.

Sure enough, the red Maine Coon and plum-coloured Borzoi were glaring at each other in the eyes. Himeko's back was arched, fur standing up on end; Kafka had crouched slightly, ready to spring forward.

Welt stood behind Himeko, baring his teeth, backing her up. Apparently the growls you heard weren't just from Kafka.

"Welt...not you too..." you groaned. You had always thought of the Bernese Mountain Dog as the peacemaker. That thought was definitely going to be out of the window the next time it comes to conflict between his "family" and Kafka (probably her "family" as well).

Behind Welt, Caelus was grooming his tail, letting out whimpers that sounded like a child's sniffles. Stelle rested one paw between his ears, as if comforting him. March nuzzled against Caelus' head. Dan Heng sat right next to Stelle, silent but glaring in the direction of the upcoming fight.

"Come on, Kafka," you say, patting her back. "You aren't supposed to be in here." You knew that Kafka's family did not get along well with Himeko's (except for the twins), so you often made sure that the two families stayed in separate spaces/rooms.

Problem was, Kafka had somehow learned how to open doors, which meant that she could go look for the raccoon twins whenever she wanted to.

Kafka whined, straightening her legs and turning to look at you. You sighed, knowing that she wanted to spend time with Stelle and Caelus. You knelt down in front of Himeko and ruffled her fur.

"I'll take Stelle and Caelus with me, okay? Let them play with Kafka for a while," you told her. Himeko stared at you blankly. You could tell that she wasn't happy about your suggestion.

"Don't worry, I'll bring them back to you afterwards." You gave her a final pat on the head. Welt approached you and let out a bark of protest. You patted his head as well.

"Stelle, Caelus," you called out. The twins looked up and scurried towards you, placing their front paws on your knees. You scooped them into your arms, where they curled up against each other comfortably.

"Just a few hours," you promised Welt and Himeko. You looked at the little Cocker Spaniel and Siberian cat, both of whom had come to stand next to Himeko and Welt respectively. "I'll play with you later, okay?"

Himeko meowed and walked towards her bed. She hopped onto it and lay on her stomach like a loaf of bread, her tail thumping against the cushion. The others followed suit, returning to their beds and lying down.

You smiled at them before walking out of the room and closing the door, with Kafka by your side. The next room emitted impatient scratching noises. You pushed the door open slowly to avoid startling the rest of Kafka's family.

Through the crack between the door and its frame, you saw a Russian Blue sitting in front of a large German Shepherd. Both of them had their paws on the door, which explained the scratching noises.

Silver Wolf immediately squirmed through the crack and meowed loudly at you. You made sure Blade had moved away from the door, then opened it fully. Barely had you sat down did Kafka pick up Stelle by the scruff and place her in front of Blade.

You set Caelus down on his feet. Kafka immediately licked the top of his head in a motherly way. Blade seemed to be doing the same to Stelle, in the identical parent-like manner (Kafka had probably taught him how to do that). Silver Wolf circled around the group, purring and nuzzling against the twins occasionally. Her actions reminded you of Dan Heng and March - a self-proclaimed older sibling of the little raccoons.

A nudge at your shoulder snapped you out of your thoughts. You turned and saw Kafka wagging her tail, significantly happy that you had managed to convince Welt and Himeko to let her play with Stelle and Caelus.

"Alright, I have to go now," you told her. "I promised Himeko that I'll play with them."

----------

Context:

Kafka tried to "steal" Stelle from the Astral Express Crew while they were sleeping and cuddling together. She had almost succeeded, but then she stepped on Caelus' tail by accident. That's why he was grooming his tail and sniffling. He yelped in pain and the Astral Express Crew woke up. Oh boy were they furious at Kafka (⁠•⁠ ⁠▽⁠ ⁠•⁠;⁠)

Baby Fever Masterlist °☆• Masterlist

You were literally running down the hallway towards the Avengers common living room, smiling like a Cheshire cat. Although, running was perhaps the wrong term. Rather walking fast, with a happy spring in your step. Without hesitation, you stormed inside the large room, in which Natasha, Wanda and Pepper sat on the big sofa, watching a movie on girl's night. The plan was to join them, but your boyfriend kinda crossed that plan…

You were so excited and fast, that you almost crashed into the door frame, but made it to stop yourself mere inches before the impact. "Giiiiirls!" You yelled; announcing your presence. You could see how your friends flinched at the sudden, shrill voice calling them out, before three heads snapped into your direction. Six pairs of eyes staring at you in surprise. "He did it! HE DID IT!" You screamed from the top of your lungs, probably waking everyone who lived in this big building. Natasha's eyes widened, as she caught up immediately to your words. "He did IT?" You nodded quickly and started to jump up and down in sheer endless happiness. "Yes!" A high-pitched squeal left the spy's lips, "О мой Гош! Наконец-то! (Oh my gosh! Finally!)" before she stood up from the sofa and made her way quickly over to you, to pull you into a bone crushing hug.

"I thought he was never going to do it," said Natasha. "Honestly, sweetie, I was moments away from asking him if he lost his balls during the time he spent here on earth." You couldn't help but to laugh at your friend's words. "Right, Nat!? It was about time Loki finally proposed," stated Pepper. "I couldn't agree more." Wanda had the same opinion. "Did he ask you on your date tonight?" You nodded at the Russian beauty. "Yep!" "At the lake?" "At the lake." "Uhhh!" Pepper wiggled her eyebrows. "With a picnic?!" You nodded once more, signalling Tony's wife that she was right. "With a picnic!" "And stargazing?!" Wanda asked, giddily. "Mhm! And stargazing!" "Eeeep!" All of them squealed, clapping their hands, behaving like teenage school girls. But hence, you weren't better.

Pepper and Wanda were still quite a bit confused; didn't catch up as fast as Natasha to what was going on. "What?" Intervened Pepper curiously. "Loki did what???" You let go of Nat and beamed at your other friends.

Lifting your hand, you showed them a silver ring with a green emerald, which sparkled on your ring finger. "He proposed! He PROPOSED!" Realisation dawned on Pepper and Wanda now as well. "Oh.My.Freaking.Gosh!" "You're getting married?!" Wanda exclaimed excitedly. "I.AM.GETTING.MARRIED!" The blonde- and brown-haired women squeaked and cheered happily and stood up in order to run over to you and literally over run you with hugs and congratulations. You giggled with them; drunk on happiness.

"So it was exactly how you dreamed it would be?" Pepper couldn't help but to ask. "Yes. It absolutely was! He conjured the ring from the stars, can you believe that?! It was perfect..." You answered, sighing dreamy. "Wow..." Natasha smiled, crossing her arms over her chest. "Mister Mischief is really following through with this, huh?" "Yeah... He really means it. Loki truly loves me. Just like I love him." "Awww," Pepper cooed, literally having heart eyes by now. Wanda giggled and wrapped her arms around yours and Natasha's waist. "Girls, we have a wedding to prepare." Your two other friends agreed. "Oh, we absolutely do!"

Either put a link, or a “read more” on long fics (or long posts in general), so they're easier to reblog!

NSFW content is allowed, but please make sure it’s clear it’s NSFW/tagged that way, and is beneath a read more so anyone who doesn’t want to see it doesn’t have to!

If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to send an ask here, or post in the #questions channel of the discord!

P.S. About the Phmonth22 prizes:

Some of you may recall me posting about wanting to add a raffle aspect to Phmonth22, with the 15th anniversary merch as prizes. The prizes finally arrived!

Once the setup for Phmonth23 is done, I plan to gather up the names of everyone who posted for Phmonth22, and raffle off the two prizes: one for artists, and one for fic writers!

(Do note, however, that you will have to pay for shipping, especially if it needs to be sent internationally! )

Lastly, Vncmonth!

You guys voted to have a Vanitas no Carte month, like last year! Not sure when that'll be, I'm thinking January-February. I will work on that prompt list after the setup here is done as well!

I'm absolutely in love with the high school au! I'd love to hear more headcanons about it, if you feel inspired! <3

I'm so sorry this took so long! I wanted to post a little drabble. I hope I'll be able to write the story of how they got together one day. ❤️

Link to the previous HS AU drabble

This drabble on AO3

Blossom

With his head propped up on Aemond's pillow, Luke listens to the lazy swish of the wind as it dances around the fresh spring leaves outside. The tree that casts playful shadows on Aemond's window shed the last of its blossoms only a few days ago. The petals are a pink carpet on the ground now, light over the bright green grass. Aemond kissed him against that tree while the last of the flowers fell, with his hands on Luke’s neck and his thumbs brushing Luke's cheeks.

"Will you come over on Friday?" He asked quietly. They were so close that Luke’s eyes could barely focus on his face.

"Of course." Luke beamed, and a warm tingle ran through him when he saw the smile Aemond tried to hide by nuzzling his cheek. He dreamt of cherry blossoms that night.

The rest of the week dragged on forever. The only thing that got him through it was the heat he felt whenever Aemond looked at him. The glances across the cafeteria, the brush of fingertips as they passed each other in the hallway. He sighs just thinking about them. The weekend couldn't come soon enough. Thankfully, Luke’s parents bought his bullshit excuse about going to the mall with his friends, although his mum asked him if there was a special someone he was going to meet there. It was so embarrassing! Luke is pretty sure he cringed when he denied it, and he might have seen his dad's lips twitch behind his cup of tea.

Ugh. No, he can't even think about it. What if his dad knows?

He shakes the thought away and focuses on the present. It's quiet, save for the sounds of a peaceful suburban afternoon that drift in from the street. He’s on his back in Aemond's bed, enveloped comfortably by Aemond's arms. Aemond's head rests on his chest. Blond hair parts under his fingers like silk as he combs it. They have the house to themselves for a few more minutes before Helaena comes home. Luke had plans - big plans for today, but he chickened out and couldn't find the right moment to bring them up yet. He wasted hours. He can't go home without at least mentioning what he wants!

"Aemond?" He whispers.

He runs his fingers over the tender skin behind Aemond’s pierced ear, down his neck to his collarbone. He traces the silver chain resting there, wondering what it would feel like to kiss the dragon on it, where it lies under Aemond’s shirt on his chest. Aemond’s skin is always so warm and smooth to the touch, and it flushes when Luke's kisses stray to it. Would his chest bloom with the same sweet colour where his heart beats?

"Hm?" Aemond hums. He reaches up with a hand to cup Luke’s cheek for a moment before resting it in the juncture of Luke’s neck. He doesn't sound fully awake. He seems content to just lie here, petting his boyfriend and dozing on his chest. Luke’s stomach hitches.

"Sooo..." He swallows. "I thought about - about us." He touches the back of Aemond's hand before he could misunderstand. His heart races so loudly that he barely hears his thoughts. "I know it's not a big deal, but um. You know how I haven’t really done anything, right? With anyone. But I've been thinking recently, and I think now I'm ready to... if you want to... uh, do something more."

He doesn’t manage to finish the sentence properly, but there's a question in there that he hopes Aemond hears. God, why is it so awkward to say this stuff! He tried mumbling it under the shower, I want to have sex with you, but it sounded deranged out of his mouth. He’ll never be as sexy and suave as Aemond is when it comes to these things. With bated breath, he waits. After a few seconds, Aemond's weight shifts as he props himself up on an elbow and blinks at Luke. Without his usual eyeliner, his gaze seems softer.

"Are you talking about sex?" He asks bluntly, his expression impassive.

Luke blushes so hard that it feels like his face melts. He smiles and averts his eyes, fiddling with the sleeve of Aemond's shirt before he looks up again. He nods, although it feels like he's dying from embarrassment. "Mm-hmm."

Aemond's lips part, but no sound comes out at first. Then, he starts to smile. "You want to have sex with me?" He asks, too loud.

Luke covers his face with his hands, hiding his burning cheeks behind them. "Don't say it like that." He mumbles through a smile.

"Like what?"

"Like - you're surprised or something!"

He drops his hands, giving Aemond an indignant shove until Aemond rolls off him. They're both on their sides now, their heads inches apart on that tiny pillow. Luke pushes at Aemond's chest again, unable to contain himself. Now that his confession is out, he’s so excited that he wants to jump up and down. Aemond, on the other hand, looks star-struck. The wonder on his face makes Luke roll his eyes.

"Did you think I'd make you wait forever?" Luke huffs, then continues in a more serious tone. "Thank you, by the way. For not rushing me, I mean."

Something about that makes Aemond flustered, because he picks at the black paint on his nails. He avoids Luke’s eyes. "It wasn’t as hard as you think it was."

A beat of silence lingers while Luke tries to figure out what he implies and whether it's a comment about him or not, but instead of anything constructive, the only things he finds in his head are dirty, dirty thoughts. Riding a rush of bravado, he smirks, shimmying closer to Aemond and touching his stomach through his shirt. "Are you sure it wasn’t hard?"

Aemond's lips part. He stares at Luke as though Luke’s words have just rearranged his universe and offered its treasures to him.

A second later, he rolls forward, his kiss a wild burst of emotion on Luke's mouth as it pushes and demands and plunders. His left hand roams over Luke's body as they make out in a noisy tangle of limbs. It finds Luke's ass and gives it a squeeze, then a massaging stroke when Luke moans. Sighs and hums bounce between them as they try to pull each other as close as possible, as if they were trying to crawl into each other's skin and feed on their desire.

Nervous but lightheaded from want, Luke slides his hand further down and cups Aemond's cock through his trousers.

"Oh." They gasp at the same time. Aemond’s breath stutters in his chest.

"Liar." Luke snickers giddily, using his fingers to map out the shape better. This isn't the first time that he felt it, but he never dared acknowledge it so directly, with such shameless interest. Is it too much? He hopes it isn't. "This doesn’t seem soft to me."

Aemond's lips twitch into a smile. "It's your fault."

"Mine?" Luke grins wider, his touch gaining confidence.

"Yes." Aemond groans and rolls him on his back, kissing him silly again. When Luke hugs him, he pulls back to pepper kisses all over Luke's face until Luke giggles. "Make it up to me."

I will, Luke wants to say, but the sound of a keychain clinking, then the whoosh of the front door break the moment. Someone stumbles over the shoes downstairs.

"Baby bro-ther!" Aegon singsongs, creeping up the stairs. "You left your girlfriend's shoes in the hallway! Rookie mistake! Time to introduce your favourite sibling to her!"

Aemond drops his forehead to Luke’s chest and groans. Luke flicks one of the silver rings in the tip of Aemond's ear.

Weekend Update 04/07/2024

Nerdie! You haven't done one of these since the middle of March!

Yes 👀 I took some time off of work and was out of the country on a boat. A cruise to be exact. The locations were tropical and fun. the sea days (the time you spend on the ship in between each stop) were not. Personally, I wouldn't go on the cruise line again. I prefer more activities, music and a more lively environment. Overall the trip was wonderful, just those sea days. Ugh, silver lining though, so much writing. 🤣

We saw you post a lot Nerdie, didn't you start new series and just post one shots?

I did a lot of writing. 🫣 I'm going to do a list of things I finished or are ongoing. I preface this by saying that I have so many random fanfic ideas. 😭 I have not written all of them out.

Ongoing:

Our Journey Across the Star Ocean (Din Djarin)

This is the Neighborhood Din (Din Djarin)

Only Parts of Your Mr. Morales (Frankie Morales)

The Lake Between Us (Ezra)

Weddings 101 with Dieter (Dieter Bravo)

Come live with Angel (Benny Miller)

Finished One Shots:

How did you forget? (Benny Miller)

What do I want from you? - part one (Lucien Flores) and What do I tell you? - part two (Lucian Flores)

A Poor Plan to confess (Dieter Bravo Brain Rot Serve Challenge) and Fare Well (Hozier Song Drabble Challenge)

Selena Drabble Challenge (Missing You - Marcus Pike)

My Teddy Bear Enjoys Leather (Javi G)

Mi sueño dulce (My Sweet Dream - Javi P)

Finished Series

March Spring Prompts (All 31 days are posted. ☺️ I indulged on the last three. 🤣)

I read about 35-40 fics so they won't all fit here. 😭 So I decided to restart my Fic recommendation lists I used to do to accommodate them. 🥰

Nerdie’s Fic Picks

(because it had it be cute 😆)

Previous fic recs are on this Masterlist as well. Volume 6 will be up late tonight. 😊

Some questions Nerdie has been asked:

Q: How in the world do you have so many ideas?

A: I truly don’t know. I can only say that I live in my head a lot so to speak so imagining what I would like to say, think or do is a lot easier than actually doing it. Then I just write it. Also I enjoy making myself and others laugh so the more insane a scenario is, the more likely it is to make it into a fic somehow.

Q: How do you write so much?

A: I stick my ideas in notes. Sometimes bullet point, sometimes just start writing. Usually if I use these focus things you can use in discord called “Sprints” I can channel the idea onto a page. It’s not always the same idea I had in mind, but usually it’s pretty good. Then I actually finish things to a good soundtrack or playlist. There is also tea involved.

Q: Which idea is next Nerdie?

A: Marcus Pike in therapy for an incident involving a gun and Mr. And Mrs. Hot Dog Water (if you know, you know.) Dieter as your sperm donor except he said “bun making appointments” because he has his reasons he doesn’t feel like telling you until the bun is in that oven and Ezra or Javi P in an AU as a sex worker because…again reasons 👀 It could be any of these or that Din and fairy warrior idea I had. 🤣 All of these are…very me. lol 😂

That’s it for this week’s update!

Special thanks to:

@angelofsmalldeath-codeine for listening to my nonsense daily and exchanging Golden Girls meme & gifts. ❤️

@fhatbhabie for almost typing “Hot dog water” in one of her fics. 😂💜

@maggiemayhemnj for reading my initial draft of “Only Parts of You Mr. Morales” and bravely asking, what is the origin of that term? Like the professor she is. 🤓

@goodwithcheese for asking me to pick between Javi P and Obyern Martell, she asks the hard questions.

@megamindsecretlair for indulging my ideas for future chapters of “This is the Neighborhood Din” and I thank you for listening.

@wannab-urs for giving me challenges and had me write two different Dieter fics with very different feels. ⭐️

Love ❤️ Nerdie!! 😍

Triage

Pairing: Wanda Maximoff x reader

Word count: ~5k

Summary: Aftermath of Breach

A/N: Taking a slight break from angst

Warnings: recovery, mentions of anxiety and more anxiety, break ins, blood, injury, but some fluff!?

Yelena sighs heavily as she continues to tap her foot against the tile impatiently. She’d been charged with taking Boone and Rogue to the ER because everyone else was either busy cleaning the house, figuring out what happened, or taking care of you and Wanda. Honestly, she preferred this job because she felt like if she had to wait at the hospital to figure out what was going on with you, she’d just make herself sick from the stress.

She knew that you were probably worried about your dogs, and she wanted to make sure that she could say that they were taken care of. She thinks back to earlier when she’d brought the duo in and told the receptionist exactly what happened. She’d seemed shocked but Yelena had said it with a completely straight face. She’d simply claimed that the dogs had been hurt, maybe shot during a home invasion and they needed care. Both dogs had to be carried into the car and then the hospital. Rogue had perked up for a bit at the bright fluorescent lights and the familiar environment, but even his anxiety wasn’t enough to keep him conscious.

Yelena had warned them about his anxiety and told the staff to do whatever they had to in order to treat them. Money wasn’t an issue.

That had been over an hour ago, and she’d been promised that she would get an update as soon as one was available. She was worried of course because these dogs were your children, and it would kill you to lose them. That said, Yelena figures you’d be proud of them for protecting the family. She guesses that the dogs bought both you and Wanda time to wake up and not be ambushed by the 5 people that had snuck into your house.

Yelena is about to release another sigh when the door across from her opens and she’s faced with someone in a white coat. The woman is tall and seems calm which she supposes is a good sign. She smiles slightly before she closes the door behind her and introduces herself.

“Dr. Lancaster, I’ve been taking care of your two boys.”

Yelena nods at this and sits up to offer her hand for the brunette to shake. She doesn’t realize how nervous she is until she feels the tension leave her once she’s given the good news.

“They’re both going to be fine. Boone’s surgery went well and Rogue only needed some sedation to stitch up what appeared to be a knife wound.”

Yelena frowns at this, but she nods before the doctor continues as she glances at the chart in her hands. Yelena feels as if it’s mostly for show and she’s not really reading anything at all, but that’s hardly important right now.

“I would like to keep them both here overnight to make sure that they don’t decompensate.”

That sounds like a good plan considering that they don’t have anywhere else to go. They could go home with her, but she may not be there long as her sister’s already texted her asking if she was free. She doesn’t mean to say all of this and she blames her nerves, but she thinks she makes up for any awkwardness fairly easily.

“That would be great. They don’t really have anywhere to go tonight with their parents in the hospital. Can they stay together?”

Yelena thinks that if Rogue wakes up and has his brother beside him, he won’t be so stressed. He hates new places and hospitals in particular, and if he wakes up alone, he might lose it.

After watching the doctor consider everything she’s said, the brunette eventually nods and offers Yelena a smile.

“We can manage that. We’ll call you in the morning with an update and to arrange a pick-up time.”

Yelena’s already standing up as her mind starts to wander to what she’ll find when she goes to the hospital to check on you and Wanda. According to Nat, Wanda had been stabbed while protecting Natalya, and you had been shot and stabbed trying to fight your way to your family. Yelena couldn’t wait to figure out who was responsible for this because she was going to enjoy shooting them all.

“Thank you.”

After paying the rest of the deposit, Yelena gets in her car to heads toward the hospital that you and Wanda were taken to. She should call her sister for an update on you, but she’s worried that if it’s bad news she won’t be in the right mindset to drive. She takes a deep breath before starting the car and sitting back and taking a few seconds before heading out of the lot. She glances back at the hospital behind her in her rearview mirror. She hopes that the dogs do well. She doesn’t want you to have to worry about them on top of everything else.

Since Wanda was the conscious one at the hospital, she’d gotten her arm taken care of quickly before finding out where you were going. You were still in surgery by the time she was finished up, so she had no choice but to wait impatiently as they finished taking care of you.

She had barely been told anything, and she was yet again frustrated by the fact that she no longer had an entire team of medical professionals at her fingertips.

She frowns as she thinks about this.

She is frustrated by a lot of things at the moment. Mostly she’s frustrated that this happened. That there was even an opportunity for this to happen to them. She isn’t sure who the other mobster even was. You didn’t exactly stop to ask before blowing his head off.

Wanda takes a deep breath as she considers what to do next. She has time to kill and as much as she wants to just wait until she can see you, she decides to get to work on figuring out what happened tonight. She figures that her friends are working on it, but she has a few calls of her own to make.

Rogue registers the odd smells before he realizes that he’s no longer home. The scent of disinfectant, blood, and other animals makes his eyes snap open. His vision is blurry, but the sight in front of him makes him tense immediately.

He can see someone sitting a little bit away at a desk that has a number of monitors on it. They’re wearing a stethoscope and holding a chart in their hands, but Rogue doesn’t know her and he’s automatically on edge. When he tries to sit up he realizes a couple of things. He’s got a cone around his neck and as he smacks it against the wall of his kennel, he realizes that he’s not alone. He starts thrashing around only to see that his brother is lying on the floor beside him. He’s also in a cone and Rogue releases a whine as he tries to figure out where he is.

The last thing he remembers is being at his house when all hell broke loose. Some strangers had broken in and he and his brother had tried to hold them off. He feels a dull pain in his stomach, but otherwise he’s feeling pleasantly numb. He stands and continues to whine until someone comes up to the door of his glass cage with a smile he can’t see.

“Hi buddy, are you feeling better?”

Rogue doesn’t do much other than sink down to the floor and whine again in confusion. When he smells the other dogs and few cats that are here, he realizes he must be in a hospital, but he doesn’t know why you’re at least not here. Whenever he’s been subjected to a vet hospital, you were always there to keep him company. He supposes it’s good to have his brother with him at least.

When the latch on the door opens, Rogue startles and nearly pulls out his IV as he tries to scramble to the back of the cage he’s in.

It’s less of a cage and more of a small room with concrete on all sides but the door, and a floor covered with a hard plastic grate that’s been covered with blankets and baby blue potty pads.

Rogue manages to step on his brother twice in his attempt to flee, and Boone yelps before his tail starts to hit the ground at the sight of a new person. He’s less scared than his brother, and he doesn’t even try to move as he lets the technician reach out and scratch his head. He’s also wearing a cone and despite not being happy about this, the drugs he’s on now make him less aware of the inconvenience.

“Hey Boone. I’m sorry you and your brother are here, but you looked super cute cuddling a few minutes ago.”

Boone just releases a whiny yawn as he accepts a few more head scratches. He doesn’t remember much more than his brother, but he’s just as eager to leave. He tries to sit up but he’s stopped by a gentle hand on his shoulder. He doesn’t realize he’s had major abdominal surgery, but the tech, Carrie, does and she knows he needs to rest. She just continues to pet the shepherd while watching Rogue out of the corner of her eye with a smile.

“It’s okay, bud. We’ll let you know when it’s time to go out. For now, try to rest. You won’t go home until tomorrow.”

If that.

Carrie’s not oblivious to the rumors spreading around the hospital. A local vet’s dogs had been brought in the middle of the night by a presumed family member. This was following a home invasion where certainly one of them got shot. It was a lot to take in, and this type of thing didn’t happen very often. Unfortunately, they saw cases of animal abuse where dogs or cats were injured by knives or guns, but nothing like this.

This story didn’t seem made up and a little research, or rather gossiping, told her how little was being made public. She didn’t really know what to think, but given that it wasn’t her business she didn’t think too much on it. She was just glad that the shepherds were good patients.

Rogue was very nervous and froze up whenever someone was near, but he wasn’t aggressive. He just tried to run away if he felt closed in. He took a lot of patience, but most of the time, he let her do his treatments as long as she went slowly and didn’t make any loud or sudden movements.

Boone was more amenable to treatments as long as he got pets in between. Sometimes he’d lick her hand or try to paw at her if he believes she’s taken too long to do something and he’s gotten bored. It was adorable and more than a little distracting. However, the fact that the doctor on call tonight was Dr. Lancaster was enough to keep Carrie on her toes.

She’d always been slightly intimidated by the older woman. She was no nonsense and knew her shit better than anyone else that worked here. That said, she never acted full of herself, and she never lost her patience with anyone. Despite the difficult job and the long, long hours they sometimes worked, she seemed to have limitless energy. The brunette managed to keep going all day long on just one cup of coffee.

Carrie didn’t understand it, she had a cup nearby at all times at the nursing station, and if it was empty she’d be counting down the minutes until she had a break to get another.

Although it probably shouldn’t have, Dr. Lancaster's arrival to the ICU almost half an hour later surprised her. Carrie had finished with the other inpatients on her side of the ward, there were only two more tonight which was a blessing in several ways, so she was keeping the shepherds company.

Most everyone else was sleeping, so Carrie decided to try and gain Rogue’s trust. It wasn’t an easy task, but she was using one of his favorite treats, at least here, to try and tempt him closer to her. Not even all of him, she just wanted him to poke his head and cone out of his run.

This task was made a little more difficult when she had to keep Boone from stealing his brother’s treat by offering him one of his own. She couldn’t feed them too much just in case they had to go under again, but even the miniscule amount of fake cheese on a stick was worth seeing Rogue cautiously peek out around his four walls.

“Good boy, Rogue. Come on, it’s okay.”

Carrie smiled as she held the tongue depressor covered in cheese in front of Rogue’s nose while keeping Boone with his nose nearly to the ground as he ate his own snack.

She didn’t realize she had an audience until she finally succeeded and Rogue took the offered treat with a tentative lick. He wasn’t nearly as aggressive with it as his brother, but she let him eat at his own pace as she risked taking away Boone’s now barren tongue depressor to try and pet Rogue.

He flinched which broke Carrie’s heart, and he stopped eating for a split second before he relaxed and let her touch him. She smiled as she scratched his ear and he finished his cheese before turning to lick her hand with a whine.

It was Rogue’s attention turning to something behind her that clued her in that she had company. When she turned and saw who was watching her, she had to tamp down the urge to apologize for doing something wrong. She was just spoiling their patients a little bit. No one was being neglected.

When the shepherds’ doctor just smiled at her she nearly sighed in relief, watching as she took slow steps toward her.

“Look at that. He’s warming up to you.”

Rachel stopped in her tracks when she saw Rogue stiffen and try to slink back into his run. She didn’t want to scare him off and ruin the progress Carrie had made, so she backtracks and sits in the unoccupied seat with a sigh.

She’s exhausted but it’s barely 4am and she has another 4 hours until she can even think about going home. She usually loves her job, but tonight had been difficult for her. She’s just glad that they aren’t overwhelmed with patients like they sometimes are during this time of year.

The two cats that are here are recovering from lily toxicity and a few dogs on the other side of the room either have broken bones or a new pacemaker to get used to. She lets her gaze wander to the ECG monitor in the corner that showed everyone who was hooked up. Since nothing looked abnormal, she turns her attention back to the trio in front of her with a small smile.

She had acknowledged what the woman who dropped off Rogue said. She shared it with her staff too. She always felt it was important for her staff to know the temperament of their patients. That said, when she was warned that he could be anxious, she had no idea just how terrified the shepherd was going to be. She was grateful that she’d remembered the blonde saying that he’d do better with his brother nearby.

“You probably heard him wake up from sedation. I thought he was dysphoric, but he just started to panic.”

Both Carrie and Rachel frown at the thought of what had happened immediately following Rogue waking up from his brief procedure. They’d waited until Boone was out of surgery and in a recovery kennel before waking up Rogue. They wanted to deal with him as little as possible if he was going to be difficult to manage, but he’d woken up on his own eventually. He’d nearly jumped to his feet and started screaming and then trying to flee when he saw he was surrounded by strangers. To be fair, he still could have been a little loopy on his drugs, so he may as well have been seeing purple elephants. It wasn’t until someone thought to try something other than holding him at arm’s length or drawing up more sedation that he calmed down a little.

“He just wanted to see his brother.”

Carrie says this because she remembers rushing into the recovery room off the OR to find Rogue only seconds away from being sedated again. He’d woken up Boone and the other shepherd had howled so loudly she’d nearly jumped in surprise.

“Rogue ran so fast toward him, I thought he was going to mow him down”

It had been a bittersweet sight because as heartwarming as it was, it just reminded them of how scared Rogue must have been. He had jumped into the kennel next to his brother, hid behind him and tried to make himself as small as possible. They hadn’t even bothered trying to put on his cone for another hour.

Whenever they walked the dogs outside, Rogue wouldn’t go too far from his brother. Boone didn’t seem to mind their situation as much, but he offered his brother comfort whenever the other shepherd would whine and nudge at him with his nose. Carrie actually had a picture of them sleeping side by side, Rogue with his face practically in his brother’s cone.

Her mind wanders to what supposedly happened to him tonight, or rather this morning, and she can’t help but ask. She blames her lack of caffeine and the fact that Dr. Lancaster has never been mean to someone as her reason for asking. She realizes that she probably should have just left it alone, but she’s glad that she doesn’t get scolded for her curiosity.

“Do you…what do you think happened to them Dr. Lancaster?”

The brunette in question doesn’t answer immediately because although she had hours to think about it, she still wasn’t sure. She wanted to believe that these dogs had been injured protecting their property and their family, but she honestly couldn’t be sure. She couldn’t get a good read on the woman who had dropped them off. She’d seemed worried, yet distracted which could have been for several reasons. For one it could have been because she was trying to figure out how to deal with the aftermath of a home invasion, or she was trying not to worry about getting in trouble.

She honestly wasn’t sure what to think about the fact that she’d dug a bullet out of one dog and closed up a large knife wound in the other. She wanted to be around for when they released the duo. She was hoping to see how the dogs reacted to whoever picked them up. Maybe that would convince her one way or another.

If she suspected animal abuse, she was obligated to report it to the police. That said, she really hoped that wasn’t the case.

She glanced back at Rogue and realized that the fact that he was such a fearful dog didn’t really instill her with a lot of confidence.

Eventually she looked back to Carrie who was seriously regretting her question.

“You mean, do I believe what everyone is saying happened?”

Carrie looks away briefly but eventually she nods before muttering a quiet ‘yeah.’

Rachel just shakes her head before glancing at the clock again. Only 4:05am.

“I honestly don’t know.”

The incessant beeping of your monitors was both comforting and driving Wanda crazy. She had been sitting in your room following your surgery for nearly 3 hours, but she couldn’t help but be restless. Despite figuring out how everything regarding last night was going to be handled, she wanted you to wake up.

She’d been told that you were in the clear, and she was thrilled to hear this but at the same time she was devastated that this had happened. She hates that you had gotten so hurt that you’d been in surgery for hours and probably wouldn’t wake up for the rest of the day. She felt guilty for not being able to help you last night, and guiltier still that she had one small wound compared to your two major ones and then several smaller ones.

She also hates that she’d agreed to let Natasha keep little Nat for the day while she waited for you to wake up. Despite the fact you were going to have to stay in the hospital for a while, she didn’t want to wait to go back home and see her daughter. That said, she wasn’t going back home until you were with her, and you could both be with your daughter.

She looks up at the sound of footsteps and she has to remind herself that it’s almost lunch time.

“Hey, I brought you something to eat before we go.”

Yelena was never one to beat around the bush, but for once Wanda was too tired to be confused by it. She accepted the food given to her, and she started eating before she bothered to ask Yelena where they were headed.

“Thanks. Where are we going?”

Wanda had already been told that you weren’t going to wake up any time soon, so she tries not to feel guilty about leaving you for an hour or so with Steve and Bucky. She hadn’t forgotten about her dogs, but it hadn’t even occurred to her to ask how long it would be until they could come home. Apparently they weren’t going to. They were going to stay with Bucky and Steve until you were out of the hospital. Natasha had offered to take them, but after hearing how injured they were, she realized that taking care of them and Natalya would be too much.

So the dogs were going to get to spend time with their uncles.

Rachel had broken her rule of no more than 1 cup of coffee in 12 hours by the time discharge for the shepherds arrived. She’d been here much longer than normal, but she wanted to be present for this. If she had to stay longer to submit a report to the police, she wanted to be sure of her decision.

Wanda was too nervous to go inside with Yelena, so she just sat in the car and kept watch as she waited for the trio to come outside. She figured the doctor would go over instructions first so it might be a bit, but Wanda tried to be patient as she thought about how much time she could spend away from you. She wanted to be with you and her dogs, but she was certain they wouldn’t be allowed at the hospital. Certainly they were exhausted and deserved a nice break after all they’d done last night.

She was still extremely grateful that they had both made it.

The sight of Yelena standing at the front desk with her two coned dogs and someone who must be a doctor makes her sit up straight. She watches as their tails wag and she can’t help but get out of the car and wait for them. She knows she probably shouldn’t get any closer, but even standing at the edge of the parking lot seems too far away. She watches Yelena turn around when Rogue barks at her, and she smiles widely when the blonde waves goodbye to the staff before heading out the door.

Rogue’s panting in excitement and wagging his tail so hard it hurts where it slaps Yelena’s leg. She unintentionally drops his leash as the shepherd races toward his mom with a series of high-pitched whines. Wanda can’t stop her eyes from tearing up as she kneels down to catch Rogue and then pet Boone who comes to stick his coned nose in her face.

“Hi boys. I missed you. Yes, I know, Rogue, I love you too, my good boy.”

Wanda just lets Rogue lick her and try to climb into her lap in greeting. She’s glad to see that he’s feeling better, and she honestly can’t even tell where he’s hurt from where she’s almost sitting on the ground. She manages to catch a glance at Boone’s shaved stomach and she wonders what kind of surgery he had. She supposes she’ll ask later, but for now she just wants to enjoy her beloved dogs’ presence.

“Are you ready to go home? You’re going to spend some time with Steve and Bucky. How does that sound?”

Rogue jumps to his feet, but he doesn’t go far as he leans into Wanda and pants excitedly. Wanda finds it a little difficult to stand up given that Rogue is insistent on not being out of contact for a second. He nearly knocks her over and Yelena has to grab her hand to help her stand when Boone and Rogue both try to smother her. She can’t help but laugh as she reaches down to pet the duo one more time before she takes Rogue’s leash and leads him to the car.

“Let’s go home.”

As Rachel watches Rogue nearly take off the blonde’s arm to race toward the redhead that’s waiting just off the sidewalk, she realizes this must be one of his moms. Despite how he’d warmed up to Carrie earlier, this is another thing entirely, and she’s glad to see how enthusiastically he greets the other woman. She watches as Rogue licks her face and paws at her legs before her sunglasses are sent flying onto the sidewalk. She doesn’t seem to care, but it does give Rachel time to realize that she’s crying. She looks so happy to be reunited with her dogs, and it’s moments like this that remind her of why she chose her job.

She wonders why the redhead hadn’t come in with the other woman. Seeing how happy the dogs are too see her, it seems odd. However, later, when she’s packing up her things to go home hours into her day off, she realizes that the woman looked vaguely familiar.

It bothered her the whole way home, but after putting a little more thought into the apparently true circumstances of how the shepherds arrived at her hospital, she can’t help but wonder if she was right.

She would have never admitted it, but a couple of years ago she’d gotten way too into true crime. She had listened to the classic podcasts, the most popular ones, and then some more esoteric ones that related to their city specifically. She’d learned about the massive gang presence in the city and how it was mostly controlled by two people. At least it had been up until recently.

Something had changed and her favorite podcaster had speculated wildly, but no one knew for sure why Wanda Maximoff had left the business.

Despite being 90% sure that the redhead she’d seen earlier had been her, there was no chance in hell that Rachel would have dared to ask her. She hadn’t even realized it until she listened to one of the old podcasts again, but after the realization had hit her, she’d spent nearly an hour searching the web to try and find a recognizable picture of her.

The one she found was rather grainy and sad looking, but it was enough to confirm her suspicions.

Wanda Maximoff was Rogue and Boone’s mom, and she now had no doubt that they truly had been injured during some sort of attack. She had no idea what to do with this information. She was certain that no one else noticed during the 3 seconds that Wanda wasn’t wearing her sunglasses.

Honestly the best thing to do would be to forget about the whole ordeal. She supposed after the night she’d just had, she’d try to do just that. She stands up and heads to her kitchen because she’s certain that she’ll need a drink to accomplish this.

When you finally come home three days later, you can’t be bothered to be embarrassed by crying at the sight that greets you.

Wanda is sleeping on the couch with Natalya in her arms and both of her dogs sleeping on either side of her. Both of them are in their cones and Boone’s practically hairless on his stomach, but you don’t care about any of that. All you can bring yourself to think about as you more or less limp toward your sleeping family is how grateful you are to still have them in your life. You’d had nightmares only every night since the break in and you worried every time you woke up that someone hadn’t made it. You’d been too relieved for your friends comfort to know that you were the worst off of the group. That was fine with you.

When you finally reach the couch, you smile at the sight of your dogs stirring. Well Rogue was just shifting to get more comfortable beside his mom, but Boone was actually waking up. When he sees you he’s nearly on his feet. You smile at him as he sits up quickly and tries to jump off the couch, but you stop him as he startles Wanda awake who quickly grabs hold of Natalya who of course is still asleep.

She looks to her friends first, everyone who would be hanging out for a few days. She should feel embarrassed by her desire to not be alone for a bit, but she couldn’t help it. The first night in the house with just the dogs and Natalya had been too much and she’d called Natasha and asked her to stay over. She’d brought her sister and of course Bucky and Steve had shown up only a little bit later.

It was nice to be around her family, and she had a sneaking suspicion that Pietro would show up at some point too, but for now she was happy. She had you back and they were all going to be fine.

Genshin Boys as your beloved Cat <3 P1

Including: Xiao, Kazuha, Scaramouche

Warnings: None? Just wholesome fluff and cat scenarios :3

Pairings: Reader and their Platonic!Genshin Cat

Genre: Platonic modern AU, Bulletted HCs/drabble. Not Edited!

Read: Part 2 Part 3

A/N: Dedicated to my lovely menaces Draco and April. A lot of the HCs are based off my own kitties hehe!! (also while i was writing Scara draco proceeded to run in and throw stuff off my dresser.. it was a sign to publish this ASAP). Will probably redo/edit when it’s not 1am ♡

Xiao:

Small n slender silver tabby!! Black toe beans <33

Extremely grumpy all the time to anyone and everyone

…Except you.

Not very sociable but not a bad/violent cat either. Just prefers to go sulk in another room when you have guests come over.

Affection varies a lot.

Will NEVER show you affection in the presence of others. No one believes you when you say your little meow meow Xiao Xiao is a secret cuddler you have to secretly catch him on tape

Was abandoned as a little kitty when you picked him up from the trash so he really only lets you touch him.

His favourite is when you boop the little diamond on his forehead.

Doesn’t really partake in cat speech hmph foolish meowrtals

The one thing he will do though, is come to you whenever you call.

He could be in the litter, in the middle of a cat nap, or snoozing in your closet.

If you call, he comes RUNNING.

And gives you this little look, like he’s raising an eyebrow at you. Turns his tail and leaves when he realises you just wanna squish his lil cheeks.

Secretly sleeps on you at night but leaves before you wake up

In your past life, you conclude, he must have been your guardian angel, sent back to protect you again <3

Kazuha:

Smol Calico kitty!!

No idea where he came from ngl?? He just shows up in your yard one day and follows you around.

One day he follows you INSIDE So Ig he’s your cat now <3. You don’t get a choice <3

He loves to travel with you.

In a catsack? Sure let’s go. On your shoulders? No problem. A harness? He’s already out the front door.

Has a cat flap he uses every now and again but Kazucat really just wants to hang out with you <3

Has littol boots for the snow/when it gets cold in the Autumn so his feet don’t get cold.

He likes to chase the leaves! Stop him from eating his catch and he sulks.

Chasing butterflies in the dawn of spring, while you follow him to the balcony with a cup of coffee in your hand

Reading in the backyard hammock as Kazukitty lazes around sunbathing, occasionally nudging your hand with his head, as if to say

“Can I read too?”

You have to give him a few flicks to get him to stop clawing at the pages. He claims a torn edge from the page before settling.

Sits on your chest near your heart purring, gazing intently on the book you’re focused on.

As his small eyelids droop, you feel your heart filling up with every gentle purr.

You can’t help but wonder if the two of you were travellers in another life, somehow getting lost from each other.

Thankfully, he managed to finally find you once more <3

Scaramouche:

Black Tuxedo cat that looks like a kitten

But is actually just an overgrown, overangy young man who never hit puberty

Angry

Constantly pees on things and pees on you.

Kills your fish but then gets stuck in the aquarium and starts crying like a little bitch

Gets stuck on your roof and cries like a little bitch

Gets trapped in your closet and cries like a little bitch

Ofc you give in bc. this man knows his fucking charm he is cute asf.

But as soon as you rescue his sorry ass, he turns his tail and scrunches up his nose, walking away all high and mighty

Licking his paws as if nothing happened.

Randomly walks up to you, touches your face,then leaves.

Sleeps on all your clothes and gets drool on them.

cries if you lock the door on him but if you open it he gives you a shitfaced grin and saunters off.

meows like a MOTHERFUCKER in the dead of night for no reason.

slowly and comedically throws EVERYTHING off of your dresser to get you to notice him

In another life you were probably archenemies

You lovehate him. In exchange you get to flatten his face and squish his little paws while he’s asleep <3

Mf tsundere even as a cat. Pretends to be asleep so you cuddle him. too embarrassed to outright not be a menace to society for more than 5 seconds and play nice.

⤹ ANCIENT MEDIEVAL ROYALTY! DIASOMNIA DRABBLES ㅤᨎㅤ ( pt. 1 ) !

characters: malleus draconia, lilia vanrouge, sebek zigvolt, and silver. warnings: this is inspired by 'letter for the king' on netflix, i have no idea where it is based off. the palace being referred to is not the canon valley of thorns, this is another au. there is a mention of bowing, feel free to change that to curtsying if that is more your thing.

MALLEUS DRACONIA: the cobblestone path leading up to the palace were cool under your bare feet. a smile spread on your lips as it came as the features of the palace became more distinct. you placed a hand on your hat, running the rest of the way up to its gates. you placed a hand on the cool bars keeping you from the palace itself, "your majesty!" you waved catching the attention of lilia vanrouge. he turned to you curiously, "yn? hm, you must be the one malleus is expecting. you always are." your fave became warm at his statement, backing away to allow the guards to open the gates. "allow me to see you to the palace gardens," lilia smiled, gently taking your hand and pulling you to the greenery filled with statues, fountains, and nature. "thank you, your majesty," you bowed, symbolizing the end of your short trip when you saw the younger prince seated further into the garden. the grass was ticklish, cool from the cloudy spring air. "your highness?" you asked, not wanting to startle him. his bright green eyes opened, searching for yours. "yn," – he smiled, patting the seat beside him – "i want to discuss something about the fair with you." you sat down, not looking away from malleus, "mhm, of course, what is it?" there was a long silence for a moment and you waited patiently. "are you... bringing anyone?" you hummed, as to say you were thinking, analyzing his statement. you knew that he didn't mean in a general sense, why would that matter to him? of course you had a friend you'd bring... unless he didn't mean it like that. you shook your head, in silent understanding as to what he meant. lilia mentioned something about malleus planning the fair just to spend time with you a while back, now you understood. before he could form the words, you smiled softly and nodded. you could consider it a soulmate connection, whatever it was it didn't matter. you looked up at the clouds, your smile as permanent as those on the statues.

LILIA VANROUGE: you quickly cupped your hands, capturing water in them to bring up and wash your face. you used the cloth of your clothing to wipe away any extra water. you returned on hand back to the stream, the cold water running through your fingers. at your reflection you stared, for how long you were unsure. it was you and nature, quiet and peace from your usual busy schedule when the neighing of a horse distracted you. you felt its hooves hit the dirt of the woods, it was coming closer and fast. however you had no fear, it wasn't bandits though it was a valid thing to fear but the pattern of its steps were unique to the palace. no one knows how they train they horses but it you listen hard enough you can here the difference, like a heartbeat in a way. "i found you." you smiled, opening your eyes to look at the rider. "my prince," – you lifted yourself to bow at lilia vanrouge, while he dismounted his horse – "it appears you have." he frowned, watching dust the dirt off your clothes, "what are you doing here alone? do you not know the dangers of that, yn–" so invested in his words and your safety, he did not notice you approach slowly, until your placed a hand on his forehead and massaged the creases away slowly. "you worry too easily, your majesty. you'll get wrinkles, hasn't your grandmother told you?" he smiled, leaning into your touch. you were right, no matter the dangers, he was with you now and you were safe.

SEBEK ZIGVOLT: you stood, staring at your reflection in the window of a closed bakery. there was a fair being hosted, by the royal family, today and you wore the finest clothes your wardrobe had to offer. it wasn't like you, it was unnatural but it was only for a day and a day only. the heels of your shoes clicked against the stone pathway, voices of those young and old to be heard not too faraway. you pushed your way through the large crowd, headed towards the docks where you had agreed to meet the royal knight sebek zigvolt – your royal night. "finally," you managed, past the first obstacle, taking deep breaths before you continued on your way. your feet carried you faster than they had before when you saw him, staring at the sips that were docked there. "ha!" you slid you hand into his, pulling him out of his trance and starling him. "oh.. yn," he let out a low laugh, his shocked countenance replaced with a bright smile, "you look gorgeous," he complimented, lifting your hand and placing a gentle kiss upon it. "thank you," you bowed, in a less graceful way than you had imagined. his grip around you tightened, so that you'd not fall into the water below you. "we should practice that before we arrive," he noted thoughtfully, laughing at your flustered state.

SILVER: you may have been raised not to stare. it was impolite this, it was improper that. but not one told you how hard that'd be, especially after you'd seen the knight guarding the palace doors. the one who helped you down from your carriage when you'd arrived. for days he'd just been, 'that one knight' until you gathered the courage to change that. "my name is yn." you stated, keeping a distance between you both. you couldn't see his face behind his visor helmet, but you saw his head perk up at your words. "i am silver, son of lilia vanrouge of the valley of thorns. royal knight of the valley of thorns." lilia? you thought, the prince? that means... "knight.. are you not son of prince lilia, former knight as you are now?" you knew quite a bit about the royalty of the valley of thorns due to the fact you were here to settle a truce with the kingdom (rather it was your father settling the truce, he just decided to bring you along.) "i am, though i am also a mere knight, despite his current royal status." it is no matter, you smiled, he is still a child of nobility. "i wish to get to know you." "i am afraid i cannot leave my post, your grace." "then we shall enjoy the pleasantries of conversation where we stand, we are now." you heard him let out a sigh, but you did not see the problem of conversation so you ignored it. "i'm afraid you'd get uncomfortable." "then i will see myself out." you smiled triumphantly when he backed out from trying to convince you otherwise. "now... do tell me the festivities to take part in around here."
