cw size kink, nsfw//
kuroo is big. in every aspect of the word; his hands, his body, his cock, everything. he loves making you feel small around him and pretends it doesn’t turn him on. comparing hand sizes, feeling how small your body is when he hugs you, even little things like picking you up, or when you sit on his lap, he adores it. but still, his favorite is how he can easily toss you over during sex, taking every chance he can to overpower you. how he can lift you up to bounce on his cock standing up, holding your hips to be in control of every thrust. also pinning both of your hands to bed with only one of his to hold you in place, smiling while you struggle to take all of him, and sneakily sliding a hand to your neck to slightly apply pressure. he loves it all a little too much.

Loki Laufeyson x female reader x Nuada (SMUT)
Anon asked: I don’t know if you’re familiar with Prince Nuada from Hellboy but I was wondering if you could do a piece that’s Prince Loki and Prince Nuada fighting over Fem Reader but end up sharing her. Lots of angst and NSFW content. I love a good sub/Dom dynamic. It would be AMAZING if you could whip something up 😊🥰❤️
SMUT AHEAD, 18+, sir/king kink, threesome MMF, dominant vibes,ah, you know the drill
!WARNING! THIS IS MY FIRST THREESOME WRITING IF IT'S BAD, PLEASE, BE GENTLE WITH ME! (p.s if you like it support me with a KOFI)
I am not the best at grammar so if there are any mistakes, sorry! Now, enjoy!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"Tell me about him."
"About who, Loki?"
"Your past lover with the fairly peculiar name."
"Nuada? Why?"
"You said his name yesterday in your sleep, dove."
"Sorry."
"Why for? Now, was he comparable to me?"
She giggles "A little. He held himself to the same elevated royal regard like you."
"Oh."
"But that was his downfall."
"Oh..."
"That was years ago. I am certain he forgot about me. I love you."
"I love you too, princess. However, you are untrue about one thing."
"About what?"
"Whoever you cross paths with, you leave an irreplaceable print on their lives. I am sure that Nu-a-da feels the same."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Nuada..." her words echoed off the magical glass and into his ears picking up the sad tone his eyes picking up only the cold wall he faced. "I am leaving. I need to go back Hellboy told me that being in this world is bad for me I need to go back to MY home. I will NOT see you again."
He stands up seeing the form of his former lover disappear in gold flakes with his hand raised. "Y/n.'"her desperate name befalls off his lips.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nuada stands up walking towards his today's visitor, his twin sister. Nuala. "Brother." he retorted "Sister."
Her hand reaches her chest. The thin fabric mashing into her narrow fingers. "I feel a tremendous distress from you."
"Ha, that gloom followed me when you betrayed me for the big red rock." he argued his attitude spiteful.
Nuala shakes her head "No, this sadness is beyond comparison. Unexplainable." she refuted moving closer to the shield her hand on the magical glass."This is heartbreak. For a certain being." Nuada's eyes gazing at her eyeing her mouth "For a human girl." His eyes twitched.
"That is forgone now. My actions are-" she cuts him off "-Are empty. Wanting nothing more than to have her back your arms wanting to do to everything and comprise everything to be with her. Since no price is too imperial for her."
"Enough!"
His turmoil echoed in the cell his kin standing her hand moving through the glass, his eyes cleared in shock.
"You could have run but you didn't, your powers exceed far more than mine. But you stayed for her, to pay the dues and to show in front of her a new creature. A new man how the humans would say."
Nuada walks striding out of the cell inquiring her with a breathless "Why?"
Nuala only cackles giving a minor shudder "Go... Find her."
Nuada steps off the stairs and moves out of the prison. His silver hair lifting off in the air that breezed through the long stands she caressed each night before they slept. His eyes that Y/n swore were made from molten gold searched into the area searching for his swords. His steps falling silent as he hears a small swish of magic, he turns to find a portal laced with green hues. He looks at the portal seeing no one only hearing the faint whisper of someone he yeared for.
"I am telling you. Bruce would manage to lift the hammer if he was in the elevator. No one can change my mind."
Y/N.
With no attending thoughts in his brain, his legs strode in front of him and into the portal that lured him so deceivingly in. The thick air that resided in his lungs was no more as he saw the same room he used to sneak in. The same cabinet he stubs his toe too many times and the small long mirror that was placed on the wall in front of the bed. He was here. Nuada was present in Y/N's room. The door opens and he sees her... and she sees him as the loud clang of swords fall from his pale blue hands. Y/n's steps coming to a halt. In front of her stood the former lover, the hair she kissed and braided was now much longer almost touching his buttcheeks the high cheekbones still current as ever the same markings on his skin stayed.
"Nuada? Wh-what are you doing here?"
She doesn't know how to acknowledge knowing that her present lover will come by any time soon. Her mind belonged to Loki. But what about her heart? Was there still room for Nuada to stand proud in?
"She told me to see you. She felt my eternal heartbreak that was left between us."
He steps closer, his hands reaching for her, her holding hands daily not yet remembering how rough he was. Y/N froze. There was no better way to explain it. Her brain worked overtime like a hamster in a wheel while her heart thudded in her ears and throat.
"I don't know what to say. We broke up. ever since you went to prison."
"I want to remove that, that memory. Seeing your face in vast anguish was something never I desired for."
Y/n flinches as her hands move away from his. Retorting with a small sigh "Still, we can not be together, Nuada, I am from a different world. Remember what Abe said:
"If you say here for too long your body will not manage to live here. It will kill itself slowly and who knows maybe that portal which you travel through will not open one day and you will lose all your loved ones."
"You can not stay here Nuada. You need to go back."
She wanted to shift away but his warmth and his authentic hands gradually and agonizingly pulled her in, her head resting on his shoulder. They stayed like that in silence while Nuada explains himself "My jewel, will you let me rewrite the wrongs of my life? Will you let me come back in and try to find the peace that you carry within you. I am lost without you?"
Y/n derides as her hand nudges against his chest tears probing outside of her eyes "What do you think felt like? When I came back after you were taken I had to rebuild myself, my job which I lost as I was traveling too much between realms and had to mask it. I had very bad thoughts that took a toll on me. you cannot ask for me to 'open my heart and welcome you with open arms. If it wasn't for Loki-"
"-Who is Loki?"
"My current BOYFRIEND. My lover."
Nuada footed back not even thinking that maybe she moved on with her life and found love with another. He didn't think how much damage he did to her heart that was already harmed.
"And who are you, stranger?" Loki's voice stirs through Y/n's ears and Nuada's, as well as both of them, turn to the god himself.
"Loki!" Y/n moved towards him already fearing what he thought "Nothing happened, I swear."
His finger reaches up to her cheek caressing the supple skin as she leans into his warm touch momentary closing her eyes. Not going unnoticed by the long-haired creature himself. "I know, lover. It is alright." he strides past her walking towards Nuada his green suit being slightly knowledgeable to Nuada.
"Have you-" "I assure you stranger, we are meeting for the first time. What is your name? What are you called?"
"Prince Nuada."
Loki swivels to Y/n "So that is him. dove? Perplexing..." Loki gazes at the creature noticing his marks on his body while his hand points to the marks "Are you a warrior? A bad one?" he grins seeing the small twitch in Nuada's eyebrow.
"I have spoken before my title is that of a prince. And what are you?"
"I am a God."
Loki walks back to Y/n holding her hand in his own bringing it up to his lips giving it the small peck she needs to zone back into reality and feel the gravity of this situation.
"Shall we?" "Yes..."
Nuada gazes and he feels the words jump out "I WILL DO ANYTHING TO BE WITH YOU, MY JEWEL!" they both halt turning to look at the elf "My pride is nothing compared to that to be kissed by your lips and to be filled by your love."
"Nuada, please... Stop this."
Nuada was a dominant creature of pride his name was not to be said without a shiver running down the spine of the person who said his name. The dangerous exterior and the harsh demeanor changed as Nuada kneeled, his pride stowed away not to see the light of this day.
"I still love her. She STILL possesses my heart."
Loki chuckles while he resolves, holding Y/n's hand
"What can we do about it? She has my heart as well."
Y/n subsisted in surprise staying between two of the same coin not already feeling the familiar tinge of arousal going through her body. Loki turns to Nuada indicating with a grin.
"Let us share her."
"Loki!!!"
He turns back to her kissing her lips saying in a bare hum "What else do you want me to do dove? You can see who much he IS willing to go through just to have a taste of your nectar. We can stop if that is what you wish for."
Y/n gasped out feeling Nuada pressed flush against her backside his hand traveling across her back.
"No."
"Then it's determined."
Loki looked at Y/n flushed eyes her iris almost despairing while she felt Nuada's long lost lips on her neck kissing and attending to her every carnal need she was deprived of. Loki took no more than a second to unbutton her shirt as she moaned at his cold fingers "No, use your magic." she barely managed to say it.
Loki takes it into account snapping his fingers as Y/n's, Nuada's, and Loki's clothes despair off of them leaving them naked. Nuada snatched her back onto the bed letting her softly sit down as Loki went behind her letting her rest her head on his abs. Nuada one more kneels looking solely at Y/n's
"May, I taste you, my jewel?" she nods as Nuada lets his lips open his tongue coming out and landing softly at the bottom of her folds tracing slowly up hearing her moans that he missed dearly. Loki kept an eye on her seeing her head drop against his stomach her eyes shut closed while her nipples begged for him to attend to them. His hands glided down giving her a message turning the nubs softly following the rhythm of Nuada's pace. As Nuada went up he found the one thing that gave her the nickname she carries for him his finger gently removing the fold and showing her clit "My only jewel." he mused seeing the deep red blush on her cheeks her eyes squinting not wanting to show her full-blown eyes his lips land around her clit sucking the delicate nerve bundle pulling slowly back giving her more depth to her passion. As her moans filled the room, Nuada HAD to rut his hips into the edge of the mattress wishing for just some sort of friction he craved for. Loki was nothing different either.
Y/n could feel his tip at the bottom of her head hard and quivering in rhythm with her moans each of the being anguish.
"I am close."
Loki answers sternly "Nuada, stop."
Nuada obediently ends peeking at the God, knowing he needs to play nice or otherwise he won't feel Y/n around him. "Let's fill her. Would you like that my beautiful Queen?"
"Yes." she rasped out "Yes, what?" "Yes, My King."
"Now, turn on your stomach. Nuada, we will swap our positions."
Nuada asks trying to hold still some ropes of authority "When will I feel her?"
Loki walks to him grabbing his chin forcefully "You, prince, will have your turn but for now, you will get her sacred mouth. Do you mind that Y/n?"
Y/n shakes her head between the power play that was in front of her "No."
Nuada kneels on the bed seeing Y/n beneath him, his cock twitched wanting nothing more than to take her and kill the god that was playing the power play over his royal birthright. Loki stood at the bed seeing her slick wet and pulling, taking his member into his hand pushing in, giving Nuada the head nod as Nuada places his cock in Y/n's mouth feeling her tongue beneath his cock while he slid further down listening to the audible gag reflex.
Y/n didn't know how to explain being throat fucked by a former King of Elf's and being fucked by a God of Mischief, feeling her both holes stretched with no remorse... And thriving in the fantasy.
"Can I move, pet?" Loki begged as he hears the audible Mhh from the bottom of her mouth. Jerking back from her pussy the tight walls would want nothing more than to hold him inside as Nuada continued to feel every inch of her mouth.
"Now, ah, Y/n your rule. You are not to cum until myself and Nuada cum inside you. You understand?"
At the command, she felt a powerful shiver in her body as rather of her voice her body replied as she became wetter at the demand. Loki chuckles as he looks at Nuada seeing his hand in Y/n's hair griping guiding her to a pace he knew she could take.
"Are you alright with that, Nuada? Having her being filled by mine and your seed."
"Yes. I can't wait to see her filled with our milk."
A few more thrusts and the men that were subdued at her body came. Y/n trying to hold in her orgasm. Loki pulls out feeling the cold air on his warm cock. While Nuada pulled slowly seeing her mouth full with his cum her eyes teary.
"Thank you... Sir," she said as a small smile was on Y/n's face. Loki looks at the two of them chuckling "She is all yours, Nuada." Loki and Nuada once more switch places as Loki attentively wipes the mix of drool and saliva pushing it back into her mouth giving her a sloppy kiss.
"Are you okay?"
"Yes, my King." she smiled. Nuada feels inching his cock to her folds pushing in. Her walls clutching at the tip he halts feeling the mix of Loki's cum and her own giving him silenced in. Closing her eyes she feels Loki's hand travel past her breasts, stomach and halting at her clit playfully flicking it.
"Loki!" she cries as the nerves shock her. "Do you like it, while play with your jewel while Nuada is thrusting in you, hopefully breeding a child in your womb, Y/n? Do you like it? To have a child and to share it with me and Nuada as fathers?"
"Yes!!! Nuada, fill me up well! Places!" the level she stooped to screen to out she didn't know she had it in her. Nuada thrust feeling her pull him only further in her walls clutching him for all she is worth. Loki pulls his hand back seeing the tears stream down Y/n's cheek.
"Do you wish to cum pet?" "Yes!"
Loki looks at Nuada seeing him give a nod and he responds "Then cum."
One more time and y/n doesn't see her lover only a white light as her orgasm rolled out of her. Talia felt Nuada ruts his hips into hers and as he slowly pulled out she felt full and replenished with their cum something filthy felt so powerful.
Wow, need holy water on my eyes. thanks for reading. tell me what you think. Hope you liked it.

Agnosthesia.
Shinso Hitoshi x gn! reader (apologies for the low quality image)
Tumblr media
s'my first time writing something that isn't sunshine-and-rainbows, i hope it's good. practice makes progress i guess heh
Word Count: ~801 
Summary: Your days drag out slowly, agonizingly so. Shinso stays by your side, ever-so-loyal and caring. It's not your fault that your love for him died, though - right?
Includes: Angst (?), flash-fiction, shinso/reader pairing, please notify me if i missed something.
------
Agnosthesia, n.
a state of confusion, when you don't understand how you truly feel about something in your life. the only thing you can do is bear the weight of this unknown burden.
Ah, you didn't know how it happened.
Soft, purple hair and tired eyes - though, you knew them as kind eyes. This was the Shinso Hitoshi that you knew so well. Filled with determination, and maybe a little bit of spite; sarcastic and pragmatic, but that's how you liked him. With a sharp mind and an even sharper tongue, he brought out the best in you, and you the best in him.
Or so you thought.
It took time to fall in love, it takes time to fall in love. You knew it did with you and Shinso. The two of you weren't even in the same classes when you'd met. Eventually, something managed to blossom. True love, you thought, took time. Love was quite slow-moving. Love was like poison.
And you, be it for better or for worse, had become immune.
It was only natural that you’d think that falling out of love was just as slow, as painful. You’d jumped to the conclusion that it’d be like tearing a band-aid off your skin bit by bit - that it’d sting and burn and feel all kinds of horrible. 
Never in your life had you imagined that whatever feelings you carried the night before could be gone when you woke up. 
Falling out of love was swift and ruthless; if only you could be the same. 
On this cool spring day, basking in the sunlight and feeling warm breeze on your skin, you should have enjoyed the time you spent around your boyfriend. He was a high ranking, successful pro hero - the two of you rarely had time to appreciate each other’s presence like you did now. 
So why was it that you couldn’t?
Why was it that as he walked down the quiet streets with you, asking what you wanted to do today with hands intertwined, that you were incapable of feeling a single thing? Shinso Hitoshi had not changed from the introverted, coffee-adoring man you knew since high school, so maybe you’d changed. 
Were you not as empathetic as you once were? Perhaps it was the stress of adult life that finally pushed you to cave in. Your heart didn’t rush up your throat when he whispered... things in your ear anymore. 
Maybe this was it! It’d been years since your graduations, but maybe you’d gotten past your honeymoon phase mindset with him at last. That was probably why you had different reactions to him than the past. 
“Hitoshi,” you squeezed his hand gently, “lemme see your face.”
He looked puzzled for a moment - it wasn’t unexpected, though, you stated something completely unrelated to your conversation out of the blue. 
“Sure?”
Gentle, purple irises, and bags under his eyes that just refused to disappear no matter how much he slept. You smiled. He was still your Shinso, so handsome and alluring. 
But, there’s a difference between physical attraction and emotional. 
Weeks ago, his features would have made you feel warm, comforted. Something fuzzy would stir up in your stomach that made you want to hold him close to your chest for the rest of your life, and kiss him as many times as you could before you both ran out of breath. 
Today, all you could think about was how he was just another guy. 
God, it hurt. 
You knew and didn’t know what was happening to you all at the same time. It was as if a boulder sat on your chest constricting air flow and blocking off all unrelated thoughts. But... you could change that. Falling out of love was a different kind of poison - not a poison at all. It was like a saber, cutting through anything like it was nothing. You could be like that too. 
God, it hurt you to not love him, but it would hurt him more to be stuck with a shell of what once was you. 
Even now, he was talking to you, and you lacked the decency to pay attention.
“- and I thought we could visit it today, you know, having the day off and everything-”
“Shinso.”
He stopped abruptly, casting a worried stare at you; you hadn’t called him that in years.
“... yes?”
“There’s something I have to tell you.”
This, you told yourself, was for his own good. The confusion in your head would fade away; your gamble would pay off once you tore his heart into shreds, right? It would be for his own good when you left him, no one wants a loveless romance. Be that as it may, you knew the pain you were about to cause him was still all for you. 
a/n: unedited so mb for the grammar, notifs ab any mistakes are cool :) like always, requests would be greatly appreciated 💙

Tumblr media Tumblr media
Welcome to my Tumblr blog. Here I will give my honest opinions and pour out my thoughts about the ideas behind my Wattpad books. You can take inspiration from this blog when you are planning to write a novel. I wanted to write a separate Wattpad book where I could talk about this. But I then decided that I wanted to reach a wider audience, and Tumblr was better suited for this purpose.
Please note: This will be posted in parts every Friday!
Edited by @wayward-heronstairs , @hashtag-amf and Hemingway Editor
Tumblr media
I started my Wattpad journey in May 2016. I was staying at my cousin’s house, and she asked me whether I knew about the app called Wattpad. I had never heard the name before. It was such an odd name for an app, I thought to myself. I was not interested in downloading the app because reading didn't appeal to so much. A few hours later, I downloaded Wattpad. Yay.
Tumblr media
Then came the shocker. I got my first follower. A thin guy with spectacles. I was nervous because I had never been on a social media platform before. I didn't know what to do. I was staring at his profile pic, wondering if he was a psychopath or just crazy enough to follow me on Wattpad. I am anxious like that. I wondered how on earth did he find my account within six hours as I had not posted any stories on Wattpad yet.
Tumblr media
The first book I read on Wattpad was fanfic about 'The Fault in Our Stars.' At that time, I had no idea what fanfic was. I picked that book to read because I had watched TFIOS twice now. Unfortunately, I didn't like the fanfic, so I uninstalled the app the same night.
Tumblr media
Then came December of 2016. It was the Christmas holidays, and I was very tired of studying. I owned that crappy Nokia XL neon green phone. Urgh, that stock Android phone was a nightmare. I downloaded Wattpad and looked for some good books to read. At that time, Midika Crane’s books were a huge hit. Her books had those dark black and white covers were guys with eight pack abs stared out of the cover at the reader. At first, I hated the cover because I thought she hadn't done a great job of selecting a good cover for the book. I remember clicking on 'Alpha Kaden', a currently published novel. I had spent half an hour on one page trying to decipher what was written. Halfway through the Prologue and I couldn't read more. Her professional level of writing was not understandable by me.
Tumblr media
When I was halfway done with Midika’s book, I added ‘She’s With Me’ by Ava Violet to my Wattpad reading list. It was such an amazing book. I loved reading it. It was about Amelia who was running away from her past. She had enrolled herself in the school. I don’t remember the name because I read it a long time back) and she meets the heartthrob of the school and his friends. The story was like a cliché romance novel but what stood out was Amelia’s back story.
Tumblr media
After reading more than 90 books on Wattpad I decided to make a writing debut on Wattpad. I spent more time reading Wattpad books than studying. I would read Wattpad books in the canteen, the student's study room, at home when my mom wasn't watching. It was addicting. In 2017, the first book I wrote was a fanfic of Hellboy, the 2004 film. I never imagined myself writing fanfiction about a movie I was so scared to watch. As a child, I was so terrified of that movie that the moment I saw Hellboy on the screen, I would look away in fear. All that I remember as a kid was the scene from the second installment of the movie 'The Golden Army'. He was holding twin infants wrapped in a white blanket. There was some sort of fantasy creatures running around the street. Hellboy was spot on with his aim, that she shot them with his gun.
Tumblr media
Then in May 2014, I got a chance to watch Hellboy on the television again. As a teenager, I wasn't scared of him anymore, but I was more intrigued by it. I loved that movie so much that I had a crush on John Myers (Rupert Evans). He was 'the dude that didn't get the girl', you know. I empathized with him as he took so much trouble by fighting alongside Hellboy. He deserved more.
Tumblr media
Later in the movie, the professor tells John that he is dying, and Hellboy needs someone in his absence. In the movie, Hellboy treated Myers like trash. He is more of a nanny and less of an FBI Agent. And because of this, Myers tells the professor that he cannot stay at the BRDP any longer. The professor tells him that he chose him for a reason as he saw potential in Myers. He adds that in many medieval stories there is a white night and Myers was that. He tells him to take care of Hellboy after he passes away.
Tumblr media
Another reason why I felt like writing fanfic was that Myers and Liz's chemistry was so adorable. He tried his best to flirt with Liz (Selma Blair). I hoped that he and Liz ended up as a couple. But Hollywood movies are unkind to side actors. So, when Hellboy got the girl, my heart dropped. My heart couldn't handle it. I was screaming at this heartbreaking injustice. I was like, this man needs a girl. I had to make a way to help him get the girl so that I didn't have this heaviness building inside me.
Tumblr media
Above: Rupert Evans as John Myers in Hellboy (2004)
And thanks to being a Wattpad writer, I came up with my own story. I named it Hellboy 3. The reason for keeping this title was because of Hellboy: The Golden Army released in 2008. I didn’t want to confuse readers about which Hellboy movie the fanfic was about. I researched Wikipedia thinking that Rupert Evans had reprised his role as John Myers in it, but I was wrong. As per Wikipedia reports, Evans was filming ‘The Kiss of a Spiderwoman’ so he couldn’t be a part of the movie.
Tumblr media
Writing the fanfic was challenging. I was stumbling through the dialogues and the scenes. I thought that this will not get more than 20 chapters, but if I am not wrong, it surpassed 20 chapters. The story got some likes, some encouraging comments, but then I was not happy with my writing. I deleted it.
Tumblr media
In 2017-ish, I wrote another story about vampires. I wrote down the story on one of the leftover books I had in my drawer. I had a good time writing it as it was one of my original stories. I made my original characters, a mythical place cursed by time. I named it ‘The Kingsmen’. Then after I had filled half of the pages by writing, I decided it was time to edit. I posted it on Wattpad. I published the chapters with no updating schedule. After surpassing fifteen chapters, I deleted the book because the grammar was awful. I felt I was adding unnecessary commas after the dialogues. I didn't have someone to edit the story, and I also had this nagging suspicion that my mom knew I wasn't studying. I hated college because I would get tired, and the studies bored me to the core. I studied for the heck of it. Everything was fine when one fine day, I forgot the password to my Wattpad account.
Tumblr media
It was hell on earth. Panic rose within me. It was like the end of the world was near. I tried to calm myself down. I had to remember the password. I felt that I was such a miserable person for forgetting a simple thing as a password. I tried password recovery. I scourged my Gmail account for the recovery link, but Wattpad wasn't sending the link. At that time, Wattpad was super slow when it came to sending recovery links for passwords. I remember Wattpad sent me recovery passwords five hours later. Wattpaders know that logging via recovery link is time-sensitive. When I clicked the link, Wattpad said that the link wasn't valid. I did this three times till my patience wore me out.
Tumblr media
I was devastated. I had put so much of my heart and soul while writing that book. It was my baby, and now the account was gone….I didn't cry. Thank God I didn't cry. I was sad. It felt like someone took a piece of my heart away from me and didn't return it.
Tumblr media
This is how it looked:
Tumblr media
In January 2018, I made a new account on Wattpad. Now I have written down all the passwords in a notebook, not going to repeat the mistake.
Tumblr media
Okay! This was the end of part one. Tell me how you liked it!!
By the way, I got the chance to watch Hellboy (2004) on the television today. John Myers is such a cutie!! Please check my latest IG highlights for the video. I cannot embedded the video on Tumblr :(
