Pairing: Eddie Munson x Reader

Summary: friends-to-lovers, mutual pining, lots of parallels, reader is a lil down on herself but don't worry, eddie is down bad for her.

Warnings: swearing, mentions of weed and smoking, smut!! 18+, minors DNI.

AN: do i write 90% of my fics based on what pops into my head when i hear a certain song? yeah. also this is only half edited bc life. enjoy bbs <3

“Okay, okay,” You laughed. “One more hit then I’m tapped out, Eds.”

Eddie grinned, speaking through a half-held breath. “Oh no, Sweetheart. New stuff hittin’ a little too hard?”

You inhaled deeply, passing back to him what was left of the joint. It went straight to your head, and you flopped back, laying comfortably on Eddie’s bed.

Eddie inhaled, following suit, making your body bounce as he hit the mattress.

“Shit,” he mumbled. “Feel like I’m fuckin’ flying.” He grips your hand, intertwining his fingers with yours. “Don’t let me float away, okay?”

You smile at him, taking in how fucking beautiful he looks under the dim lights in his bedroom.

“Never. You’re stuck with me, Eds.”

He looks down at you, a smirk pulling at the corner of his mouth. He took you in like he'd done 100 times before. Eyes trailing from your nose, to your eyes, landing at your mouth.

So fucking beautiful.

“Good," he breathes, pulling you in closer. "Just the way I like it.”

Eddie let go of you hand, only to wrap his arm around you and pull you into his chest. He placed a kiss to the crown of your head, "This okay?"

It's all I want. You think.

"Or do we have to get up and go watch that cheesy chick-flick I promised we'd watch.

You sighed, fiddling with the hem of your denim skirt. "I'd stay here all night if you let me."

That's all I want. He thinks.

Eddie leans back a bit, looking down at you. He's not sure if it's the weed making his so emotional, but he swears he could cry just looking into your eyes. "What am I gonna do if one of these dates you keep going on works out? What if someone takes you from me?"

He tries to sound relaxed, but the truth is, the thought keeps him up at night. There’s gonna be a guy that steals you away from him one of these days. Someone who can give you everything he can’t, someone brave enough to open their mouth and tell you just how much they love you.

and it'll crush him.

The laugh that escapes you is a cynical one, "Eddie, I've been on three dates with three different men, and I've gone home alone each time."

"So?" He asks.

"So," You scoff. "It means no one is interested in doing anything with me."

It’s true—to you at least. The guys you’d gone out with were either not looking to be tied down, or ran once they met you. The last guy thought you’d be easy because ‘the freak’s best friend has to be a freak herself right?’

The dates were a distraction for you. As your heart pined over the one guy you could have it all with, it was breaking too. Eddie hadn’t made a move on you—ever, and you weren’t brave enough too.

So the two of you sat in limbo, completely unaware that the other person was right there with you.

Eddie sits back, releasing you from his arms. "Why do you do that?"

"Do what?" You ask, sitting back as well.

"That. Act like you're the problem, and not these shitty fucking dudes you keep going out with.” Eddie tried to control his tone, but his temper got the better of him. He cursed at himself for it.

Jesus H. Christ, Munson, get it together.

You push back from him fully now, "Eddie, the common denominator is me. I-I'm fucking broken or something."

“Stop that.” He seethed.

It’s a command—a tone you've heard him use with Steve, or Dustin, but not you.

Never with you.

Eddie stood as you sat up, hanging your legs off the edge of the bed.

"What--"

He turned back and got to his knees right in front of you.

“Stop talking about yourself like that. It’s fucking ridiculous.”

He was close to you, and with him on his knees, his gaze was just at your eye level. “You’re not broken. There's nothing wrong with you, you’re—you’re fucking perfect.”

“Eddie…”

“No, no, just…just shush for a second.” Eddie moved his hand to your cheek, his thumb sweeping across it gently. “You think all this shit about yourself and it’s just not fucking true. I wish, for a second, you could see yourself how I see you. I fucking adore you.”

You feel the warmth of his breath on your nose. His large hand on your cheek warms you, and you lean into the touch, closing your eyes.

Everything is Eddie in this moment. He’s invading every sense you had.

It’s overwhelming.

You can feel your eyes brim with tears. “You don’t have to say that, Eds. I’m okay. I’m just…I’m lonely, that’s all.”

Eddie’s breath caught in his throat. He watched you, he saw the tears hidden beneath your lashes. How could you not see it? See how you were…everything to him?

His mind stopped for a moment, deciding whether or not to take the leap, to risk it all and not run for once.

Fuck it.

“I’m right here, Princess. I’ve been right here.” He leans his forehead on yours.

You exhale his name, “Eddie,”

“What,” he’s quick to ask. “What is it, Sweetheart?”

Your on fire with how close he is to you. But he doesn’t mean it, not in the way you hoped he would…does he?

Your eyes open, seeing his beautiful brown ones searching your face for some kind of clue as to what you’re feeling. You clasp your hand on top of his. “Please,” you beg. “Please don’t say things you don’t mean just to make me feel better. My heart can’t take it.”

He laughs softly, bringing his other hand up. He’s cradling your face gently, “Oh, Honey. You have no idea just how much I mean it.”

Eddie is overwhelmed with you. You’re everywhere, and he can’t fucking think straight. Probably a good thing right about now, because he’s about to do something he never thought he’d be lucky enough to do.

“Can,” he clears his throat. “Can I kiss you, Baby?”

With zero hesitation, you nod, earning a chuckle from Eddie.

“Gotta use your words, sweet thing.”

“Yes,” it comes out as a plea. “Kiss me...please.”

Warm warm warm.

It’s all you feel when he leans in. Then his soft lips are on yours, all the while he’s holding you as if you’d be the one to float away.

Eddie kisses you like he’s done it a thousand times. Like he knows your lips and the pattern that drives them crazy. He’s trying to tell you everything he’s been too afraid to say since the moment he met you.

There’s no one but you.

You’re everything.

I love you, please, let me love you.

Regrettably, you pull away. Breathless from the kiss, but also how surreal this moment is.

“I-I,” you sigh, touching your forehead to his. “I’ve wanted to do that for forever.” It comes out as whisper. As if you’d scare him away if you said it too loud.

Eddie smiles, a relieved laugh passing his lips. “Yeah?”

You nod, “Yeah.”

It’s quiet for a beat, Eddie is looking at you so softly and with such care.

“You’re so beautiful.” He says with all of the conviction in the world. “My pretty girl.”

“Am I?” You ask. “Am I yours?”

He nods, "If you want to be." He moves his hands, resting one on each thigh. He rubs them absentmindedly, likes he's trying to flatten the goosebumps that had prickled across your skin. “...and I’m yours. You've got me, Honey.”

Eddie's grin was still a shy one. You brush your hand across his face, pushing back any stray hairs. "Eds?"

He grips your wrist gently, placing small, tender kisses along the inside of it. The gesture is so simple, but it sends a heat through you like you've never experienced before.

"What is it, pretty girl? Whatever you want, whatever you need...it's yours."

You intertwine your fingers with his smoothly, "You, Eddie. Need you. Wanna make you feel good, Eds."

Now it was his turn to get goosebumps.

"Fuck, Angel. You can't just say that to me." He breathes.

Your bedroom eyes blink twice, "Please?"

A strangled moan vibrates from his chest, "Who am I to deny the fair maiden what she asks for?" Eddie stands, holding out a hand for you.

You're pulled to your feet by him, and he's looking at you through a brand new set of eyes. "One problem with that though, Princess. You come first."

You gasp as his hands take purchase of your ass, pulling you into him. "If anything, and I mean anything is too much, or too weird, you tell me, okay?"

You're nodding again, and he tuts at you. "Uh-uh. Words, baby."

Your arms fall around his neck and you press your body against his. "Yes, sir."

"Ho-ly-shit." He moans. "Yeah, I'm gonna kiss you now. Cool? Cool."

He's hungrier this time, kissing with teeth and tongue as his roaming hands explore your body.

"Eddie, Eddie..." You breath through swollen lips. "Too many clothes."

"You a mind reader or something?" He jokes, ripping the t-shirt from his body. His body was a work of art in more ways than one, and seeing it now, like this, made you crave it all the more.

You watch as Eddie falls to his knees, "Can I?" He asks, pulling at your skirt.

"God, yes."

He unbuttons the fastener, pulling the distressed denim down until it's pooling at your ankles. Eddie then came face to face with your black-lace covered heat.

"I-I'm dead right? I've died and now I'm at the pearly gates."

Your hands cover your face, "Eddie! Stop!"

He stands quickly, "No, baby, no. God, please don't hide from me." He pulls your hands away gently.

Your shirt is next to go, and so is the matching bra. Eddie pulls his pants down, leaving his boxers on.

"Lay down for me, Princess. Wanna take care of you.”

The timber of his voice makes you tremble. Once your comfortable on the bed, Eddie climbs on too.

“Now, I know this is all new, and we’re figuring things out as we go, but…” Eddie pauses, laying on his stomach between your legs.

He starts kissing his way up your legs. “I’ve been dreaming of eating this pussy for a long, kiss, long, kiss, long time.”

You’re so turned on you can barely speak, but you manage to get out a quiet. “Well what are you waiting for?”

Your thong is thrown into parts unknown, and Eddie starts to feast like a man starved.

“Eddie, fuck—“ his tongue explores your heat. His hands hold onto your hips as you grind down onto his mouth.

“Uh-uh, don’t hold back. Wanna hear you, Princess.” He dives back in, lips sucking on your clit, pushing you closer and closer to the edge. He slips in one, the two fingers. Pumping and curling them slowly until he finds the spot that makes you see stars.

The fire in your belly is growing and you feel your legs start to shake. “Holy fuck, Eds—Eds I’m gonna cum!” Your hands take purchase in his hair, giving it a sharp tug as you feel the heat engulf you.

Eddie eats your pussy, drinking you in as you cum.

“Shit, I’m sorry!” You release your grip on his hair as you come down from your high.

Eddie crawls up your body, kissing you. You taste yourself all over his tongue. “Don’t be sorry, Baby. Let’s me know you’re enjoying yourself,” he kisses you once more. “Plus, I kinda like it.”

You’re both breathing heavy.

Now it’s his turn.

Your hands touch his shoulder, pushing him gently. “What’re you doing, pretty girl?” He asks softly.

When Eddie’s leaned back against the headboard, you pull his boxers off. Pink, uncut cock springing from it's confines.

God damn...he's fucking huge.

"Gonna ride you, Eds. Let you feel what you did to me." You climbed on top of him, "Can I do that? Can I make you feel good?"

Eddie's nodding, not sure what part of you he wants to look at more.

"Uh-uh," you tease. "Use your words, Handsome."

"Fuck," He breathes. He palms your bare chest, moving the pads of his thumbs over your nipples. "Do whatever you want to me, use me, I'm yours." He leans forward, hot mouth latching to your other breast.

You sit up, allowing Eddie's hard length to slip inside your aching cunt. The sheer stretch and size is enough to snatch the breath from your lungs.

"Eds...Eds, shit. S'big." You moan.

His eyes close as he bottoms out inside of you, "So tight. Fuckin' pussy was made for me, she wants my cock. Won't let it go. She greedy, baby?"

You adjust to his size filling the void inside you. Eddie hold your hips as you begin to ride him, helping you to keep a steady rhythm.

"Look at you, Princess. Cock-drunk already, hm?" He teases.

Eddie is whispering praises as he fucks up into you.

Such a good girl.

Taking me so well.

My pretty girl.

Mine.

Eddie's pace quickens, and you feel the tremble return to your legs.

"Eddie, fuck, I--"

"I know, Honey. I can feel it, feel you squeezin' me. Let go, Angel. Go on, cum for me."

His words are like a spell.

You cum harder than you did on his mouth, and this time, it's his cock that's drenched in your essence.

"Gonna cum, Sweetheart. Where--"

You're entirely lost in everything Eddie. "Inside me, Eds. Fuck, please cum inside me."

"Shit, shit, shit." Eddie's moves become erratic. Sloppy thrusts chasing his release, and when he does, he all but growls in your ear.

He's breathless and spent, but his arms wrap around you. Eddie holds you, softening inside you. He kisses the center of your chest, the trail making its way across your shoulder, up your jaw, and to your lips.

"Hi." He says quietly.

You giggle softly, "Hi."

"So uh, not sure if this is a good time or not..."

You kiss his nose, "Hmm?"

"I-I...I love you. I don't know, just felt like someone should tell you, might as well be me." Eddie's big brown eyes search your face for any sign of regret or discomfort.

Nothing.

You kiss him deeply, "I'm glad you told me, otherwise I'd be sitting over here, in love with you, looking all silly by myself."

Eddie holds you tighter. "You, you love me?"

You giggle, "Edward Munson. I love you."

He pulls you closer, "You love me." It's a statement now.

Eddie lays his head against your bare chest. "I'm gonna get you cleaned up in a second, Sweetheart. Just wanna hold you for a little."

Rubbing small circles on his back, you kissed the top of his head. "I'm not going anywhere, Handsome."

YOU CATCH HIM M@STURBAT!NG

NSFW, for adults ONLY, MDNI or I'll block you. No idea how many parts this will be. Let me know which BSD men you want to see ;)

pt. 1 Fyodor, Poe, Chuuya | pt. 2 Fukuzawa, Kunikida, Dazai | pt. 3 Ranpo, Akutagawa, Ango | pt. 4 Sigma, Mori, Tetcho | pt. 5 (finale) Atsushi, Nikolai

Fyodor

Walking in on him touching himself is REALLY surprising because he doesn't seem the type to masturbate, in your mind. You straight up couldn't imagine him touching himself until the very second you walked into his office and saw his bottoms around his ankles, his top hiked up around his chest, and his hand furiously pumping over his pale dick.

His head is thrown back, eyes closed, mouth lazily hanging open. You've never seen so much skin on him before. He's PALE pale which makes the brightness of his mouth and tongue and the tip of his cock seem so much brighter.

"oh love, yes, yesss" he moans, and your whole body flushes red with embarrassment and arousal at the same time. You shouldn't be seeing this but you're having a hell of a time turning away from him. You need to leave the room. You need to go. You need to turn around.

"y/n," he purrs, tilting his head and opening his eyes half-way, looking so fucked out and erotic. "do you like what you see?"

You can't formulate an answer, you're standing in the doorway short circuiting, trying to make words but only noises come out

"since you're standing there I thought you might be interested," he says as slow and calm as ever. Even jerking himself off his voice doesn't hitch or raise or speed up and it's honestly really hot right now. "Care to join me?"

"i-i, um... I'm really s-sorry, f...fyodor."

He moans softly biting his lip while still staring straight at you.

"say it again," he purrs. "say my name."

"fyodor..."

"again," he moans, hand working faster.

"Fyodor."

you walk in and close the door behind you.

Poe

You two scheduled a hang-out at his place but despite how many times you knocked on the door, he wouldn't answer...so you try the doorknob, and hey, it's unlocked! You've been to his place many times, you don't mind letting yourself in and don't suspect he'll mind either.

After you put your stuff down and take off your shoes, you register a quiet noise coming from a different room. you sneak closer and realize two things: it's crying, and it's coming from poe's bedroom

you open the door and rush in without thinking. "poe! what's wrong, why are you-- OH FUCK"

you rushed right into him kneeling at the edge of his bed, bouncing on a dildo and not crying, whimpering, moaning.

he calls your name and you can't tell if he meant to moan it but he absolutely moans it and he sounds like a wreck and he looks pathetic and fucked out, and you feel it when he says your name.

"I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have been this, I'm gonna go home--" you say, turning and rushing out of his room. he calls your name after you, multiple times, moaning and moaning and moaning--

you sink down against his front door, still slightly able to hear the sounds of him moaning and whining from his room. you're so horny now, absolutely drenched through your panties/rock hard in your pants. You know you should leave, you know you shouldn't still be here, but he never told you to go, he just kept saying your name...

a few minutes later, after the noises have subsided and the apartment has gotten deadly quiet, his bedroom door creaks open and he slowly peeks his head out. he must be crawling still because he's near the floor.

"[y/n]," he sighs, "I didn't want you to find out like this."

it takes you a second to collect yourself, but you manage to ask "find what out?"

"that i... i think about you... a lot..."

Chuuya

you're on a PM mission with chuuya and several other PM members. you've got to share a room with chuuya, but at least you have separate beds. it's fine. it's whatever. until.

until you wake up one morning--the clock on the bedside table saying it's only 6:23 a.m.--to the sound of a rhythmic slapping, some occasional huffs, a-- a moan?

you sit upright in bed quickly, your head turning toward chuuya's bed.

"are you fucking serious?"

"what" he huffs, and through the tiny bit of daylight creeping through the curtains you can see movement beneath his sheets.

"are you jerking off right now? dude we're sharing a fucking room."

"you were asleep," he says defensively. "not like you noticed yesterday."

"dude!!!"

"get over it, it's fuckin' natural," he says and his voice is getting tight and higher almost like he's biting back a moan or getting close to cumming.

"it's disrespectful when you have someone in the same room, chuuya," you say softer, subconsciously still trying to hear the sounds he's making. you're embarrassed at how intrigued you are

"i'm not stopping you," he says. "you can jerk it too for all i care."

"to what... to you jerking it?"

you can almost hear the smirk in his voice when he says "I never said anything about that, so you thought that up all on your own. is that what you're into, pet?"

You've been reblogging more stuff about female characters getting ignored by fandoms recently and I would be really curious to hear your full views on the topic.

The thing is that... look. I get it. Many fandoms do not have very many women in their canon, many of those women are treated pretty poorly by the canon or aren't given as much depth as their male peers, and if you're at all picky the pickings are kind of slim (I would love to be a fan of c!Niki, if I were able to watch six-hour vods, which I am not). It is not wrong that most works with large fandoms are really, really sexist, and the problem is not just in the fanbase!

But come the fuck on. It is not an accident that the DSMP and the MCU and BNHA, all of which are vast-majority male and the female characters are treated terribly, are megafandoms, and Revolutionary Girl Utena is eligible for yuletide. It is not wrong that if you want to see more female-character-focused fanwork you should go to Sailor Moon and not The Untamed, but it is also kind of missing the point to say that and not look at the difference in size between those fandoms. People can say "it's because the male characters are so often more interesting and have more meaningful interactions," and like, sometimes that's even true, I will be the first to tell you that quackbur has more to it than tinarose, but please compare the Clint/Coulson tag to the Utena/Anthy tag and look me in the eye and tell me that's the only thing driving the trend. With a straight face.

And even more there's a thing where— so, I was a mod in the @ao3topshipsbracket bracket. And femslash ships, once they were in the bracket, did really well. Like, absurdly well, like 80% of the f/f ships entered got to the top 16, and the last one was against blackbonnet which was never gonna lose in round 1. You might notice something about that number, though, which is that there were only five of them entered total, because people love to vote for femslash but they absolutely will not write it. And they won't say anything about it either! I was watching the activity feed the entire tournament, and I can tell you, for all of the "let's go lesbians" that populated our notes, nobody would say anything that was actually about the specific characters who made up their ship. I learned a lot about Naruto fandom, modding that bracket; I still know nothing about CW Supergirl, because the only thing anyone would say about it is "it has women in it". Because women are interchangeable. Because women are avatars of Being A Good Feminist. Because clicking a button is easy, and actually thinking about any specific woman and her traits and her internality is hard.

The thing is that guilt over misogyny does not actually fix misogyny. It gets you a lot of people who vote for women in polls, and who say "he's like a woman to me" about their male faves but notably don't have any canonically female characters they talk about, and who say that the only thing they care about in a fic is if it has women in it but will not ever actually say anything about any specific woman, and who never shut up about yuri but apparently yuri is everything and anything except women who have feelings about one another.

I'm tired! I'm very tired. I want people to actually give a shit about specific women and their specific traits, which do not begin and end with "woman". And, also, to stop treating women exclusively as the wingmen, advice-givers, mom figures, and accessories of men.

Lin Kuei Bros: Play Fighting

Smoke so dramatic-. Anyway, don’t ask why I thought of this. The voices were loud

Bi-Han

Play fighting with any of them is bold as fuck but HIM? You don't like your life

I'm not saying he's gonna straight up assault you but out of all the brothers, he has the highest chance of hitting you hard as shit on accident

He probably wouldn't even like play fighting that much. He'd prefer sparring cause at least you're working on your skills. Why you just fucking around?

You gotta catch him on the right day. Some days he's busy and some days he's just legit not in the mood.

“Imma start it off slow. Imma scope the scenery out-”

If you somehow get this man to cooperate, first of all good job. Second of all, y'all do not stop until you give up.

The type to pin you down and not let go until you admit he won. If you refuse, you're legit not moving.

This is a big guy so you're not moving him. You give up, he lets go and you manage to crack a smile out of him

We never see him smile in the game but listen bitch, I'm here for the fantasy-

If he's not in the mood, I can see him just saying “no” like you're a puppy or smth.

You'd go to swing on him again and he'd either grab your hand or give you a look that tells you he's being serious

Going back to him accidentally hitting you hard as shit, he's used to sparring with two other buff ass men. Imma guess you're not as buff as them, and some of y'all reading this ain't men. Accidents are bound to happen

You'd think the Grandmaster would have more control but I just think it slips sometimes. He's stupidly prideful and he's used to sparring so sometimes that's where his mind goes. Also once again, he probably sometimes forgets a hit Kuai Liang could handle is a hit that'll take years off your life.

I would love to say he gets on his knees and apologizes but this is the same man who betrayed his brothers and was like “why y'all tweaking?” so um…

You're gasping for air and he's “see why I always say no?”

I feel like I'm making him sound abusive but as someone who's play fought with my older siblings, they hit you hard as shit then tell you you're a bitch when a tear slips out. Why the fuck are you hitting me this hard in my chest? You got 5+ years on me-

He's an older brother. He's gonna hit hard. I swear it's in their DNA

And if he does apologize it's not really verbal. He checks to make sure your limbs are alright then offers to do something else.

“Are you gonna say you're sorry?” “For?” “For almost breaking my damn lung” “You started this”

You'd expect that the next time you wanna play fight he'd decline cause he doesn't wanna hurt you again. Wrong.

Remember he's an older brother. THE older brother. Y'all squaring up again. You don't care about your health so fuck it.

Honestly would be super fun besides the limb you're gonna lose

Kuai Liang

Would be more cooperative than Bi-Han but still isn't overly excited to play fight

Bi-Han is the “tell mom. I don't care” older brother. Kuai Liang is the “wait wait wait, I'm sorry. You can hit me back. Calm down. You want some candy?” older brother

Fully aware he could cause terrible injuries but as time passes on, he relaxes more

Definitely play fought as a kid but after Tomas started jumping everytime he heard his voice, he thought “maybe I need new hobbies”.

You’ve interrupted his recovery

He actively focuses on holding back and being soft even if you tell him not to

“Hit me harder” “No❤”

Honestly a fun time though. He holds back when it comes to strength but still tussles with you. Also let's you get hits in even when he could easily dodge them.

If he accidentally injured you frfr, he's checking up on you immediately and says y'all stopping for today.

“No, I'm ok” “Can you even breathe right now?” “Uhhh… yes😀” “We're done”

For sure feels like an asshole depending on how bad you're hurt. He's not sliding down the wall in pain but he's like “damn, that was a little too hard”.

“You can hit me back” “No. I've seen Twilight” “What?” “It's gonna hurt me more than it's gonna hurt you. I'm not doing that”. (Now I wanna write you making them watch Twilight. I'm never gonna be rid of this addiction-)

You gotta hit him back so y'all can be even. It's the only way to move on

Y'all are not doing that shit again for at least another week or so.

“We gotta scrap right here right now” “No”

Does the thing older siblings do when they put their hand on your head so when you swing at them, you're just hitting air.

It's so infuriating so you gotta stop.

The next time though, you swear you're gonna win. You will not.

Tomas Vrbada

The most willing and having the most fun

Tomas has two older brothers that probably jumped him on several occasions growing up and you're gonna try and convince me he doesn't have aggression to get out?

People would probably expect he's the softest but no. He's the youngest. As the youngest myself I can assure you, we are used to putting our all in these fights cause we gotta use all our strength to defeat these evil mfs we live with. Sometimes it's not enough-

You're not his older sibling so he's not scrapping like his life depends on it but I do think he's hitting somewhat hard

Not as hard as Bi-Han, not as soft as Kuai Liang

You feel his hits but it's not knocking the wind outta you

Super fun cause he's also using the environment. Definitely is grabbing a pillow and starts swinging it at you. Definitely is running around the couch to chase you. Definitely has thrown you but made sure to aim at something soft. He's probably even turned off the lights then threw a folded blanket at you

“Cheater” “Don't be upset you didn't think of it first”

You're fighting but laughing at the same time. There's no real tension. Just fucking around.

Probably starts initiating it too

If he does injure you fr, for a split second he'd actually see it as a victory then he'd remember you're not his older brothers and is like “oh shit-”.

Injuring those two would mean freedom (or a worse jumping. really depends), injuring you is not good.

He knows how bad those hits can hurt so he makes sure you're alright. He's not watching you as much as Kuai Liang would but he'd still make sure you're not overly sore.

He doesn't feel as bad as Kuai Liang would cause he kinda knows this shit happens. Kuai Liang kinda got a little bit of guilt cause Tomas gets into a fighting stance when he raises his hand up. Tomas hasn't victimized anyone so he's more chill about these situations 😭

Tells you random ass stories about when he used to play fight with his brothers.

“One time Bi-Han threw me in the air and Kuai Liang jumped to catch me only to throw me against the wall”

“This reminds me of when Bi-Han swept my feet from under me and Kuai Liang jumped on me”

“What is it called when someone jumps on you elbow first?”

“This one time I woke up to them standing over me. I knew it was a wrap”

“One time Bi-Han slapped the back of my neck so hard, it was red for at least a week”

“One time Kuai Liang-” “Tomas… you need a therapist” “I don't think that's what it is”

Unlike Kuai Liang who makes you wait, he's cool with scrapping days later.

Actually says “time out” when he wants a break. Also says “time in” fast as fuck though to catch you off guard

Legit the most fun brother. I don't make the rules (except I do).

I did not mean to write the least for Kuai Liang but I was really brain empty for him. Y’all should give me ideas, thanks bookie

Thinking about self aware! MW characters (plus Roach) who absolutely adore your laugh.

CW// gender neutral, unfunny men deserve to be slandered, favoritism is seen, badly translated Scottish and Spanish, this is based off of my interpretation (you can find the main fic link on my account)

Feedback and criticism are highly encouraged! Please tell me if anything is badly translated, out of character, or something else!

Ghost actively makes jokes that are guaranteed to make you at least giggle. Even through this weird mental barrier (for him) and your monitor's screen, it's so invigorating to hear some form of joy out on the field, especially when it's from you. It just makes that fuzzy feeling in his heart multiply.

"Thank you, thank you - I'll be here all night."

Gaz takes absolute advantage of this. He makes a few jokes here and there, but keeps it to interesting stories. In some instances, he just starts laughing out of nowhere and you can't help but join in. It's very clear he gets bitches on the daily.

"Didn't know I was that funny, but I'll take what I can get."

Price uses all of his past experiences with courting to get, at the very least, a giggle or two out of you. He doesn't have millenium of experience (contrary to your belief), but he's certain that his "old-man" charisma and his weird way with words. But he still tells some older jokes, so your assumption that he's older isn't completely wrong (he was totally raised by his grandparents).

"Would you like to hear a story?" *Tells one of the pointless joke stories that lasts for 10 minutes and has the stupidest punchline*

Roach can't really come up with ways to make you laugh. His preference of keeping quiet and faceless doesn't really help, either. Instead, he tries to point out some enemy on the field, signing insults to them that you're sure to understand.

'His head looks like a donkey, and he acts like one, too.'

Soap physically cannot keep you from laughing. He doesn't even have to make a joke, you just start laughing. He believes it's because he's just an immediately funny dude, but you're not going to tell him that he looks stupid with that hairstyle. If he does tell any jokes, they're not even funny.

"Dinnae ken how come ye'r laughing, bit keep daein' it."

Alejandro tries, he really does, and it doesn't work most of the time. It's kind of funny seeing this overly-confident dude absolutely fumble because of his lack of realization that your personality and humor aren't really the same as the people he usually catches. On occasion, though, he does get a rise out of you and can't stop smirking about it for the rest of the day.

Valeria has subtle jokes that rely mainly on her tone, but those aren't her priority. She doesn't mean to be rude (lies usually, but with you?), but she does impressions of your laugh and then comments on it. Usually they're not bad, but it does feel demeaning sometimes.

"Me gusta esa risa. Jejejejeje."

"You know why Mexicans call Americans 'gringos'? ... Would you like to?"

Rodolfo doesn't always try to make you laugh - he still gets a bit disoriented that you're no physically there (which means he can't see your face, but what is he gonna do about it?). His humbleness and large range of jokes really comes through, especially since he'd been the family entertainer at parties. If you can understand simple jokes in Spanish? You're practically set to be unable to keep a straight face, and he loves it. (Even if he doesn't understand it, he'll turn it into a mini lesson so you do)

"¿Qué dijo el gato cuando chocó su carro? 'Miau-to.'"

Nikolai has a handful of Russian jokes at his disposal. Are you completely guaranteed to understand? No, and he doesn't expect you to. If you do understand Russian, boy howdy is he gonna have the time of his life! You won't be able to breathe properly until he's out of sight!

"You see, it's funny because-" *explains joke if you don't understand*

Laswell is a huge fan of subtle jokes. She often makes small, funny comments that get light-hearted chuckles out of her. However, she also has older humor, which means you're less likely to understand unless you, too, are old (which isn't likely, but it's still a possibility). She likes hearing you laugh and really does try to get some sort of connection with you, even if it doesn't work.

"What did the chicken say when it crossed the road? 'Damn it, I missed the bus.'"

Alex is a funny man. He's aware of his effect on people and uses it to his full advantage. As a people-pleaser, he makes it his duty to get you to laugh as much as possible. If he doesn't make you laugh, he'll make himself laugh, and then you laugh. He's totally not putting all his effort into jokes just to get you to laugh or anything. He's just that guy.

"Me? A tryhard? Whaaaat? Psh- as if."

Farah has no business with nonchalant jokes, but she makes them work. While she does like the sound of your voice, she doesn't want to force it. She believes that intentionally funny words can diminish any genuine laughter, so she sticks to half-assing it in hopes you at least giggle. That's not to say she doesn't try to get you to laugh - she just does it far less, since she can't see your face (but she can just imagine the glee on your face if you get the giggles because of her).

"What is your type of humor? Asking for a friend."

Graves is unintentionally funny. When he tries, he fails miserably. He says a southern phrase that might not be super known? You're cracking up. He doesn't get it, but at least you're going 'teehee'.

"What's so funny 'bout me sayin' cattywampus? It fits the situation!"

the last few episodes of persephone moping around have felt like less of a self-reflective moment for her to grow and change and more rachel griping about criticism and surrounding herself with yes men

this isn't gonna be in any way a formal essay like my usual sort, more of a slam post honestly, so fair warning that i'm gonna be a little salty here

EPISODE 263 SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!

but seriously, it's been a pity party of greek proportions because this constant "woe is me" shit with persephone that's constantly met with "no queeen you're amazing and perfect" has been going on for DAYS (real time and comic time)

literally every episode since the comic returned has had some segment of either persephone or hades (or both) being upsetti spaghetti over their current situation because oh nooo persephone made the deal with erebus and had to sacrifice something. even though they both knew that was gonna happen and yet she did it anyways. so she just continues to lock herself away in her mansion and spout adorkable quips while her husband, mother, and colleagues deal with the mess she caused.

and of course there's the constant inclusion of apollo spitting straight facts about persephone being a terrible queen and person, but of course because it's apollo saying it, it's not meant to be taken as gospel, essentially clapping back at the words of the critics who call out persephone for being a shitty and toxic protagonist by putting those words into the mouth of a literal rapist.

and yeah episode 263 had a lot of the same shit, to the point that you could literally swap out the names of the characters and the words they were speaking and it applies exactly to rachel and the corner she put herself in u.u it's been a thing for a while now that apollo has just felt like a mouthpiece for LO criticism but as mentioned by users within the subreddit during the discussion of this newest episode, it's never felt more apparent than now.

so yeah enjoy this satirical text edit of a sequence from the newest FP episode, which I honestly can't tell is meant to satirize the critical community or Rachel's reactions to the critical community because the weird reality this comic and its community exist in has just become that wack that it's hard to believe it's not directly from The Onion sometimes LMAO

-and as much as i find myself empathizing with the pressure that rachel is surely under right now - no one should have to be subject to the screeching howls of the peanut gallery - i can't help but be reminded of the memes and tweets she's put out that basically outright say "persephone is supposed to be celebrated for being a shitty person, if you can't handle her at her worst you don't deserve her at her best 💅"-

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Rachel Smythe (@usedbandaid)

instagram

-and how often she's ruined her own day looking for critical groups or people with the "wrong opinions" that were minding their own business, or how much she's stifled her own community's attempts to discuss the story openly by having her mods ban anyone with even so much as a question regarding persephone's integrity.

so yeah, as much as i can empathize with her from one creator to another that being under this amount of pressure and scrutiny must be immensely frustrating and exhausting, beyond that one similarity i just can't empathize or relate to this mindset of almost learned helplessness that's taken a firm grip over her writing. this is the story she wants to tell and by all means no one is entitled to make her stop, but if she's gonna keep using her greek myth "retelling" comic that's trying to be "feminist" as a mouthpiece for her own griping over criticisms that are largely on-point and justified - to the point of putting the words of her critics into the mouth of her token villain like she's playing some single player barbie doll "act out that fight that sounded cooler in your head" game - then she's gonna keep getting called out, full stop. i figured she didn't have any nose left to rip off in spite of her face but apparently not.

look, i get it, there are some opinions and behaviors within the critical community that even i'm not on board with. there are people who absolutely take shit too far on both sides of the fandom, and i think both sides need to do more to hold themselves accountable for how they interact with each other, the comic, and rachel herself. i make it a point to keep my shit in my own house, i'm not entitled to rachel's attention and frankly it's the last thing i want because i have a lot of fun here and i don't want that to be potentially ruined or dampened! but if you come into my house and complain about the decorating, then i legitimately don't know what to tell you. i used to love LO and i'm so sad for my past self knowing fully well they're not gonna be able to wholeheartedly enjoy this comic forever due to how manipulative and shitty the storytelling has become. a story that i once connected to as an AFAB who was a victim of assault and abuse and generational trauma.

if persephone being the true main villain in her own story was ever meant to be the point of Lore Olympus, then it's taken way, way too long to get to that point, and rachel herself definitely doesn't seem to be of the mindset that that's what she's become with all of her blasé meme'ing on a plot arc that she's still expecting us to take seriously. persephone was never a very complex character to begin with - being an easy self-insert for the audience and rachel to project themselves onto and relate to - but at least in the beginning she felt like she had so much legitimate potential, she was naive but put her best foot forward and clearly wanted to make a life for herself, made by herself.

now she's just mean. jaded and mean. dependent on the constant validation of others to the point of being manipulative. an absolute shell of a person who can only grow a spine when she's punching down on people weaker than her, completely incapable of standing up to the people who are a legitimate threat to her. it's not empowering, it's not subversive, it's just another pick me story about women pitting themselves against other women and never taking accountability for their own behavior, mistakes, and deliberate actions meant to hurt others, often teetering on the line of straight up narcissism all for the sake of a "boss babe" moment.

anyways, if you want an actual well-written and GOOD scene of an empathetic female protagonist struggling to find their footing in adulthood being called the fuck out for their learned helplessness behavior, go read Tamberlane, it tackles this topic much better through its main character who keeps using her brokenness as an excuse to never do better, it slaps and it's so real.

#the only thing i could possibly enjoy from these episodes is minthe coming forward #and leuce #and tori #other than that they're just a bunch of nothing #no plot #no yeehaw #just boohoo #and not even in the good way where you know the 'boohoo' is gonna lead to some good yeehaw #the shitty and toxic way where the 'boohoo' is a personality trait that everyone else has to bend themselves around #lore olympus critical #anti lore olympus #lo critical #Instagram

reader down bad for the characters and their reaction to the reader GOO, Gun, Samuel, Jake...others

thankyou for the request Anon! I'm sorry for being late to this but here we gooo!!

(Please forgive me for this bs)

Lookism Boys and their reaction to reader being down bad for them

Kim Jongoo

He's flirtatious but he will make you feel embarassed for being down bad for him

because he will talk about it in front of anyone, like literally.

"Y/n you're such a simp for me, look at you, everything about you screams simp~"

a whole lot of taunts are gonna be thrown towards you.

He finds it helplessly cute how bad you want him but can't have him

Will purposefully touch you to make you even more desperate.

Park Jonggun

It's not exactly common for him to find anyone who's so down bad for him because everyone else just wanna kill him (well he's fucked with women before but)

Will deffo fuck you dumb (if he's interested in you ehehe and that's if you can fight like crazy)

Sexual tension × 100

He won't actually tell you that he knows you're so desperate for him, he'll just fuck you.

Finds you pathetically cute and that you want him so much.

Oh you poor thing what have you gotten yourself into.

Jake Kim

Oh oh oh here comes the green flag 😌

He will 100% know you're down-bad for him AND he will and most likely flirt a lot with you, indirectly or directly may it be.

Don't expect him to be formal and shit. He's one hell of a smug, he'll rather just flirt you into it.

He deffo behaves like a Kdrama male lead. Showing off all his flamboyancy and elegance in front of you.

he's gonna be really cheesy with whatever he says especially in front of you.

"I heard people like veiny hands these days, they say it's very attractive" *flexes his hands*

Or "Ah I heard girls like when men cook" *burns the omelette he was already cooking*

And this all is directed towards you.

Seo Samuel

I really don't expect him to be much of a yk flirt or romantic, he's quite the simplistic guy.

That is until you find out how much he desires dominance in every aspect of his life. (Like seriously this man has a thing for dominance-)

Will not fuck you straight off.

He will mostly likely build the tension up until you completely submit to him (and then you're getting fucked)

I can't really say if he flirts with you directly but

You're gonna get those stares a lot, and he'll do it just to make you nervous

Bonus!

Euntae Lee (Vasco)

Here comes the Himbo

He's a little idiot so he'll really not get why you're so down bad for him.

He'll probably ask you why you behave like this in front of him.

And when Jace tells him you're interested in him he'll start jumping around like a kid.

"Y/N DO YOU LIKE ME?!?!" He'll ask you, a stupid smile on his face.

Well he's probably getting smacked by you or either Jace for acting like a dumbass.

Don't expect him to understand anything lmao he's just a 5yr old in a body of a teenager (a buff one I'd say he built like a gangster LMAO)

I have to be dreaming (Chapter 2)

series masterlist~~AO3~~regular masterlist

I forgot to mention this, but there will be more yanderes than just the strawhats.

---

A few hours past after the whole debacle with the Masira pirates and by that time things had calmed down. Treasure was spread across the floor, Luffy playfully prancing around in full armor.

"All you brought back was junk." Nami yelled, "None of this can tell us how to get up to the sky!"

"We couldn't find anything but that map!" Zoro says, shrugging towards Nami. Sanji nodded, the smoke from the cigarette floating around him.

"Somebody beat us to the ship." He said, taking the cigarette out of his mouth and blowing some smoke. "Either that, or the people on that ship had slaughtered each other."

Nami crosses her brows, pointing at the two men, "Then we're going to need more information." She says.

"At least we found a map." You said looking towards Luffy, him clattering around while swinging a broken sword. Nami follows your gaze, sagging her shoulders at the sight.

"What's that Luffy?"

"Armor." He responds, before it shatters, him falling to the ground. "Hey it broke!" He yells, Usopp and Chopper running towards him, trying to gather all the pieces. You sigh, trying to block out all the sounds around you.

"You seem to be having a hard time, and it's not going to get any easier." You hear Robin speak to Nami, before slowly covering your ears. It was all too much, every word causing your head to ache. You wanted to fall asleep, and never wake up.

"Okay! Jaya! Full speed ahead!" You hear Luffy yell, and you sigh. You move to sit next to Nami, her giving you a sympathetic look while rubbing your back.

"Hold on! If we go straight to Jaya, won't the log reset itself? Then we won't be able to go to the sky island." Usopp mentions, Luffy immediately freaking out.

"Then we're not going to Jaya!" You roll your eyes at him while Nami tilts his head at him.

"You wanted to go to Jaya, didn't you." Luffy nods.

"Yeah, but I want to go to the sky island too." He pouts.

Nami puts her arms on her hips, "Well that's your fault. You have to think ahead Luffy. You know how the log pose works."

Luffy puts some food in his mouth, thinking, while you relax further into your position, attempting to quiet the world. "All right listen! I'm the captain so I'm gonna choose our destination. I wanna go to the sky island!"

"How do we get there, Luffy." You speak up, him looking towards you and your relaxed position. Your eyes were closed, and you sounded nearly half asleep. He swallows some food, dawning a smile you couldn't see.

"Well, the best thing is to ask someone, let's ask somebody on Jaya." Usopp says.

"The log pose won't reset immediately, why not go to Jaya and leave before the log pose can lock onto another magnetic field." Robin suggests. Chopper, Luffy, and Usopp all nod while munching on food, Nami agreeing.

Luffy jumps, excited, "All right, to Jaya!"

---

You felt someone talk a harsh plop next to you, opening an eye to look, it appears to be Zoro. He looked bored, all of you still waiting to get to Jaya. That paired with the nice summer sun made it a perfect time for napping.

For a while it was quiet, the only other sounds being seagulls and the murmurs of others. "Y'know, I never thanked you for saving me." You whisper lightly to him. "I don't know what I would be doing if it weren't for you..."

Zoro doesn't respond, simply nodding to you, his eye closed and his posture relaxed. You're okay without any words, happy with the simple statement, closing your eyes before taking a deep exhale.

Zoro smiles lightly.

---

"Hey!!" You startled awake, rubbing your eyes as you move towards the front of the ship. As your eyes adjust, you're able to see an island, a city right in front of you.

"Wow! look at that city!" Luffy bellows, sitting on the head of Merry, his special spot. Usopp stares wide eyed, Chopper as well.

"It looks like a resort!" He says, his eyes filled with wonder.

"You're right. I wouldn't mind spending a little time in a place like that." Nami replies.

As you moved closer to the port, the town came into fuller view. You could see many pirate ships docked, causing you to grow puzzled. "Why are there pirate ships docked here?" Luffy looks your direction shrugging his shoulders before the ship docks.

"This seems like a fun place." Zoro says smirking. You groan, hugging you midsection. You attempted to hide yourself by slouching, making yourself smaller, only for Luffy to extend his arm and pull you towards him.

"Don't lag behind, we don't wanna lose you." He says to you, giggling. You still haven't really got used to Devil Fruit powers, Luffy's being the strangest thing ever. It didn't take long for Nami to catch up to you, her bounding towards you and Luffy.

"Luffy, you need to promise not to cause trouble!" Nami speaks as Luffy waves her away.

"Yeah, yeah, I promise." He insists, dragging you every which direction, his hold becoming gentler at the sound of your grunts.

"Say it like you mean it. If you cause trouble, then we'll never find a way up to the sky!" He lets out a small yeah, eyeing a man on a horse. He was panting, blood dribbling from his mouth. His house stopped before the man slid off, falling on the ground.

The people around him whispered, "Hey...could you help me up?" He groans, looking towards Luffy and Zoro." Zoro groans, before helping the man up onto the horse, him groaning in light pain.

"I don't have any money to give you." He takes out a basket of apples, his hands quivering a bit from the supposed pain. "Please take one." Zoro's eyes squint in suspicion.

"No thanks." Zoro tries to walk away before Luffy is shoveling an apple in his mouth, Zoro and Nami yelling at him before a boom reverberates across the walkway. Your body is blocked by Zoro's, him unsheathing one of his swords.

"Hey, what's the big deal?!" Zoro yells, eyeing the con man, who way laying on the back of his horse. He smirks down at all of you, coughing weakly.

"He'll be all right." He said, Nami halting from coking out Luffy, looking and the man. "If it had been a bad one, you'd have died instantly." Luffy looks over at him as well, face hard. "You're...a lucky boy."

The man trotted away on his horse, leave you alone. You sigh in relief, returning to walking down the street, everyone around you unconcerned with the explosion. Nami takes a while to calm down, growing frustrated with the blasé nature of the town. "What kind of place is this."

"Calm down, Nami." Luffy looks back at her, eyeing you at the tail end of the group. He pulls you back towards himself, stumbling back near him. "Things like that happen."

She grumbles, "Well, they shouldn't! This is insane! I'm not sure we'll ever find out what we want to know in this madhouse!" Luffy remains nonchalant, casually walking down the street while ignoring Nami's ramblings.

Eventually, you land in a surprisingly peaceful part of town. "It's beautiful." Nami points out, the palm trees adding a nice shade to this otherwise hot island. There were resort houses, all connected by a pier the swived from house to house.

"Wait, you can't just walk in here." A strange man, probably the resort owner, says, fidgeting nervously as you observe him. "The tropical hotel is currently being rented out by the Bellamy Party."

"This is a hotel?" You mumble, the man continuing to fidget, repeatedly asking you to leave.

"We can't take a look around." Luffy asks, "and who is this Bellamy guy?"

"Who are you." A man stalks towards you, a woman around his arm. The resort owner instantly becomes nervous, bowing towards the man.

"M-Mr. Sarquiss, welcome back..." He strides over, standing right in front of Luffy, and you take this time to back away from him, towards Zoro.

"Get lost." He speaks lowly.

Luffy snarls, looking back at Nami, "Can I beat this guy up?" Your eyes widen and your poster stiffens in fear.

"Absolutely not!!" She declares.

"Hah, what a joke." Sarquiss says, "You, beat me up?" He lets out a hardy laugh, throwing coins and bills onto the floor. "Here, go buy yourself some decent clothes." The coins roll on the ground a bit before falling completely near your feet.

You past them quickly, pushing past the man in slight anger. Nami follows right after, pulling Luffy along with him. Sarquiss watches with an emotionless face, "Heh, how lame." He drones, walking into the resort.

---

You stare into your cup dead faced, your face as stark contrast to the load, bustling tavern around you. Every few moments, you glanced at your side, Luffy fighting with some drunkard about his bounty. You didn't have the energy to really care about it though. You can faintly hear Zoro yell at him, trying to hold him back.

"Take it easy, there's no fighting in here." Says the bar owner to Luffy and the other, coerced. Suddenly, there's a creaking sound, then a slamming. Everyone in the bar quiets, turning toward the entrance.

"Anybody seen a pirate in a strawhat around here?" The voice was low, growling even. You turn around, spotting a nearly deranged looking man. His eyes were blown wide, a smirk stretching across his face and his arm crossed.

"Look like he has business with you, Luffy." Zoro sips on a beer, uncaring, while Nami bites her lip.

Luffy turns all the way around, propping his elbows on the table. "What?" Mutters travel through the bar, all about Luffy's 30 million berries bounty, and what Bellamy was going to do to him. You shifted in your seat quietly, afraid.

"Get this kid whatever he wants." The bartender nods, more and more people shuffling into the bar. It didn't take a genius to tell they were the people from the resort, Sarquiss leading the posse. The push through the bar, kicking people out their seats without a care. Sarquiss gives a harsh glare at anyone who looks at him, twirling his knives.

A beer is placed down on the table, Luffy taking it with a smile, drinking it in one big gulp.

"Bellamy and his whims..." You hear a girl say. Sarquiss chuckles, a sound that makes you shake in your seat.

Before you can even comprehend what he was saying you were being pushed back from the bar by Zoro, landing on the floor, staring up at the other three.

"Luffy!!"

His head is pushed roughly into the bar by Bellamy, splitting in two, the wood cracks under the pressure. You can barely breath as laughs fill the room. You can't tell where they come from, your eyes focused on Luffy.

Zoro lunges at him, nearly slicing him with his swords before Bellamy quickly leaps aside. "What's your problem, low life?" He questions, as Zoro stares at him from the opposite end of the sword.

"You're the one with the problem." He responds, Nami rushing to calm him down as she helps you up. "Wait, Zoro! We haven't learned what we need to yet!" Zoro, irritated, keeps his gaze locked on Bellamy.

"I don't care! He's the one looking for a fight!" Luffy slowly stands up, the crowd around him laughing in disbelief. You shake in Nami's hold, trying to calm your breathing and ignore the manic laughter.

Luffy wipes his nose, "All right, I hope you're ready." Bellamy doesn't retaliate, instead, his face grows maniacal, his laughing high-pitched mixing with the laughs of his crewmates.

"This isn't a fight, it's just a test. Come at me! Show me what you've got!" He edges Luffy on, but before anything could happen, you turn towards the bartender.

"We want to go to the sky island! Can you tell us anything at all!" The room goes cold, the silence somehow eerier than the laughter. The people in the room look astounded, their eyes wide and mouth agape. The only noise you can hear is the whispering of the people near the back of the room, asking if you were kidding and if you were stupid. You take a deep breath as the room suddenly breaks back into laughter.

"Did you say...sky island!?" A very drunk man asks, laughing in your face before you could answer, Nami quickly coming to your defense.

"Our log pose is pointing straight up at the sky!!" She points and again there is a brief second of pause, before being broken by laughter.

"Log poses break so easily." Some other says, and Nami holds her breath as people around the room laugh and mock her, including Bellamy, who is now relaxing on a stool.

"Where'd you hicks come from anyway." He eyes you, laughing at your startled expression. "You believe in that ancient legend? What rock did you craw out from under?" You look away, embarrassed.

"New currents are being discovered on the grand line all the time, like the 'knock up stream.' Ships that fall victim to it are hurled upwards and come crashing back down to the sea."

"Long ago, ignorant seafarers saw them falling out of the sky and thought there must be an island up there." He went on to explain. ""Surely there must be another world up there in the sky!"" He mocked.

"In time the truth behind such myths became clear." He looks back at you. "What a disappointment, and I was going to see if you had what it takes to join my crew in this new age of pirates, but you're too gullible." Luffy moves to block you as your jaw hardens, anger seeping through your bones.

"You're fools who are blinded by a fantasy of treasures and can't see the riches lying right at their feet." You couldn't see Bellamy's face, but you could guess his overwhelming visage by his voice, loud and overpowering. "In this age, some of the most able seafarers get themselves killed chasing such foolishness."

""They were lucky to die chasing their dream" they say!" He laughs, snorting at the end. "I say they're all idiots!"

"When I see fools wasting their time on dreams, I go berserk!" You pushed away yet again by Luffy as a bottle is smashed on his head. This time though, you land in the arms of Zoro, who keeps you in place as Nami screams.

"It's weaklings like you that give pirates a bad name!" Bellamy yells as Luffy lays on the floor. He looks unfaced, but you couldn't really tell from you position.

"Hey Bellamy!" Sarquiss speaks up. "Looks like everybody's waiting for the show to start." He grins, and as the party around him rages on, Luffy sits up, his strawhat on the floor.

"Luffy! Zoro, forget your promise! Defend yourself!" Nami begs.

"Do not fight them!" Luffy directs to Zoro. He obeys, leaning towards your ear.

"Stay with Nami. Listen to Luffy." He gives you a small push, and you quickly listen and stand near Nami.

"Heh-Your friends are smart, they know they're out classed." Sarquiss side eyes the boys. "The Navy's getting pretty generous these days, handing out 30 million berries for a wimp like this." He chuckles to himself.

Luffy and Zoro take hit after hit, bottles and food being thrown at them like they're in a zoo. You flinch anytime you hear something breaks, afraid to look at them all covered in blood. But in truth, your weakness made you sick to your stomach, you didn't know what to do and you didn't have the strength to speak up like Nami. You hated this feeling, especially as you cower behind Nami unable to act.

"Pacifism sounds like an excuse for cowardice to me." Bellamy takes a big swig of beer, wiping his lower lip as he eyes Luffy. "Not only are they weak, they got no pride. They don't have the heart to fight, and yet their heads are full of dreams." Bellamy stands, striding pass the two towards the door.

"Forget it." He looks down at Luffy, not sparing you or Nami a glance. "It said he's worth 30 million, so I wanted to see what he could do, but he's a total disappointment. How can a can a coward like this call himself a pirate?" We walk right up to him, spitting right in their faces. They both recoil but react little.

"They make me sick." Bellamy knees Zoro in the face.

Another man grabs the back of Luffy's head, throwing it into the wall, reverberating throughout the room with a harsh crack. You and Nami rush towards them, Bellamy's laughs echoing in your head.

"Pack up your stupid friends and get out while you still can." Nami snarls at him, taking the back of both Zoro's and Luffy's shirt's and dragging them out of the bar, you in toe.

'The sky island does exist' you think, just to spite that asshole.

"Your friends won that fight, why are you so upset?" You turn, seeing the guy Luffy was arguing with earlier. He's sitting right outside the bar, eating pie. "You got guts!" He says as the two stand back up, bloody and bruised.

"You seem to be in a hurry, so I won't keep you." He takes a swig from a bottle near him. "I hope you make it to the sky island." He says, walking away.

You're left frozen look back at the man as he stumbles down the street. His demeanor was so different than earlier, what changed? "Hey, maybe that guy knows how to get to Skypiea?" Nami suggest, watching as Luffy walks away.

"It's not just one guy." Luffy says as he wipes some blood from his nose, using his other hand to grab you and break you out of your stupor.

"Hey! What do you mean?"

---

"Luffy, Zoro! Are you guy's all right?!" Usopp yelled as you got back to the Merry.

"Huh-your wounded, what happened?!" Chopper screamed, pushing them onto the boat quicker.

"Did you fight a giant monster?" Usopp wondered aloud. Luffy shook his head, smiling like nothing was wrong.

"Nah, a pirate. But it's over." He shrugs, while Nami glares from a corner.

"It may be over for you, but not for me." She jumps up, pointing a finger towards him. "How can you call yourself pirates!! Pirates don't shrink from a fight!!"

Zoro side eyes her. "You're the one who made us promise not to fight."

"Why is she so mad, you two are the ones who got beaten up, not her." Usopp says, Luffy shaking his head.

Chopper glances towards you as he ignores Nami's yelling. "(Y/N)? Are you okay?" You were sitting alone by the railing, watching the waves though the beams. You look back, nodding quickly while giving an awkward smile.

"Totally, I'm just not used to all this pirate stuff, y'know?" You rub the back of your neck.

Luffy tilts his head. "Do pirates not exists where you come from."

You laugh, "I think I'd be less shocked if they did." You go back to watching the waves, still feeling Luffy's gaze on the back of your head.

Chopper, semi-satisfied with your answer, changes the subject. "So, did you find anything about Skypiea?"

Nami's face darkened, "Skypiea, who cares about it, everyone started laughing at the mere mention of it." She pouted, red mad when Usopp and Luffy start laughing at her.

Robin, whose now on the ship, hands over a map to Luffy, "I went shopping for clothes and information about Skypiea."

"It's just an ordinary map of the island though?" Usopp says.

"The town on the left is Mock town, where we are now. And the x on the opposite coast marks were Jaya's biggest weirdo lives. His name is Mont Blanc Cricket." She smiles.

"It seems like you have something in common, he was chased out of town for talking about dreams."

---

On your way to this Cricket persons home, you were stopped by yet another monkey man, and it this point you were fed up.

"We've come across a weirdo, but I don't think he's the one we're looking for." Luffy says to Usopp as he cowers behind Sanji.

"Hey! You there! This is no time for small talk!!" He yells from his ship.

"Could you move, we're trying to go somewhere." Luffy yells, and you facepalm.

"You idiot! The sea here is my territory! If you want to pass, you have to pay the toll!" Monkey man screams, you've heard this before, and you couldn't care less.

"Is he like that Masira guy?" Usopp asks, Monkey man becoming intrigued at the mention of the man.

"What? Masira? What about Masira?" He asks.

"Him? We kicked his butt?" That's right, you were so distracted that you somehow missed Luffy literally kicking Masira off the ship. Hopefully he's fine.

Monkey man gasps, glaring at you all. "How dare you do that to my brother!" In an instant, Monkey man was sending shock waves your way, screaming into a big microphone. While it didn't do much, pieces of ship started peeling off.

"He's ruining all my repairs!" Usopp screamed, quickly yelling to get out of range of his voice.

After you were definitely far enough, you were all forced to help repair the broken parts of the ship. "That damn orangutan! He almost wrecked the whole ship."

"Yeah, it's in really bad shape." Zoro says, hammering sheets onto the helm. "Maybe it's time we got a new one."

"How can you say that?!" You jump, you didn't expect it to be a touchy subject. Though, from what Usopp told you, this ship was gifted to him by a dear friend, so it's understandable it make him a little angry.

Luffy turns words him, "Don't worry Usopp, Merry's part of the crew, she'll be as good as new once we've fixed her up!" You smile, feeling surprisingly warm.

"You got a big heart, Luffy." He looks surprised for a split second, before grinning wide at you.

"Woah!!!" You hear Chopper yell. Looking over, you see an extravagant house, Luffy and Usopp dropping their tools to gawk.

"This is Mont Blanc Cricket's house?! He must be loaded!" Luffy proclaims, Sanji standing by you with a raised brow.

"A man of big dreams, eh? Well. he certainly likes to create an illusion." He lets out a puff of smoke, as Luffy propels himself off the ship, gaping at the back of the house.

"It's only plywood!" He screams, huffing in annoyance.

"What a cheapskate." Sanji said, rolling up the sail. You nod, wondering why he would do something like that. Nami peers towards Robin, whose reclining on the railing.

"What kind of dreams was he talking about that they kicked him out of town form." Robin waves, shrugging her shoulders.

"I don't know all the details, but apparently he claims there's a huge hoard of gold somewhere on Jaya." Everyone turned towards her at the claim of gold.

"Gold!" Usopp yells, Luffy ginning from his spot-on land. He rushes towards the house, abruptly walking into the house without knocking.

"Hello! Anyone home?" He announces.

You lean off the railing, eyeing him astonished. "Luffy! You can't just go walking into other people's homes!" He doesn't listen, leaving the door wide open as Usopp and Sanji funnel in. You groan, debating whether or not to follow him, untimely deciding to hop off the boat and follow him.

"Huh? There's nobody here." You hear Luffy say as you catch up to him. The house was pretty small, a bed, table, and many, many boxes all in one room. You survey the room, finding a childlike story book on the table.

"Noland the Liar." You read aloud, flipping the book over and examining its contents.

"Noland the Lair, huh?" You turn to look at Sanji, whose sitting on the ground, watching you. "That bring back memories."

"You've read this before?" You ask him, Nami coming over to stand near you, taking the book from your hands.

"Yeah, I was born in the North Blue." You shake your head. You aren't all that knowledgeable of the different areas of the sea, still struggling to get used to where you are know.

Sanji chuckles, some smoke escaping his lips. "Yeah, I was raised in the east...well, never mind that. This story's pretty famous in the North, it's a children's tale, but I've heard that this Noland really did exist a long time ago."

Nami opens up the book, reading out the pages aloud. It's a tale about Noland, an explore who told such amazing stories about his adventures that no one believed him. One day, when Noland went to tell the king about a mountain of gold on an island in the sea, the king sent 2,000 of his soldiers to verify his claim. By the time they reached the island, only the king, Noland, and 100 soldiers remained, and instead of a mountain of gold, there was only a jungle. Noland was sentence to death for lying, his last words being "I know! The mountain of gold must have sunk into the sea!" No one believed him anymore, by the stuck to his lies to the very end.

Nami finished the story, closing the book with a thud. "Sadly, he died without ever becoming a brave warrior of the sea." She sighed, looking at Usopp.

"Why are you looking at me! And stop adding your own commentary!" Their argument couldn't continue as Luffy splashed into the water. "What are you doing, Luffy!" Usopp yelled as you moved to grab him before he descended too deep.

"You've got guts, making yourself at home on someone else's property. The waters around here belong to me." Someone sad behind you. You turn, locking eyes with a very angry looking man. His eyes were narrowed towards you, but yours were locked on Sanji, who was swinging his foot at him.

The man dodges quickly, taking his hand and nearly jabbing it in Sanji's stomach. He raised his foot quickly, stopping the attack, but instead being met with the barel of a gun.

"Sanji!" You hear Chopper and Nami scream as you dive in the water. You hope he's alright, heart beating as you scan the water for Luffy. You know that he's unable to swim because of his Devil Fruit power after an incident a while back when a fishing accident caused him to fall in the water. You eye the top of his strawhat, diving down deeper and hooking your hands under his shoulders. You grunt, some bubbles escaping your mouth as you pull him up out of the water.

Luffy coughs when he is finally free from the ocean. "What were you thinking!?" You scream at him, paddling towards the land. "I...saw...bubbles in the water." He coughs, inhaling and exhaling in rapid succession. 'Then a chestnut came up out of the water..." he mentions, laying down on the grass as he continues to cough our more water. You sigh, coughing up a bit of water yourself.

Thud

"Hey, you okay?" Sanji's huff, the strange man shaking on the grown.

Zoro helps Sanji drag the man back to his house, laying him down on the bed. "Get me a cold towel and open all the windows!" Chopper yells, pulling up a chair to stand on.

"He's sick, it's a condition divers get." Chopper explains, laying down a cool towel on his head. "It's usually not chronic though." Luffy moves over towards the window, gazing out at the ocean.

"When a diver come up out of the water too quickly, the sudden decompression causes air bubbles to for in the blood and tissues. These bubbles expand and cause problem in the vascular system, muscles, and joints." Chopper further explains as you shiver from the cold seeping through the open windows.

"This man's probably been diving deep day after day without giving his body time to decompress." Chopper's voice is small and quiet, the wind blowing adding a peaceful ambiance to the room.

"Boss!! Are you all right?!" The door slams open, the two Monkey men barging in. For a while, it was quiet, looks being exchanged in silence. "What are you doing here?! What have you done to the boss!?" They both break the silence, yells echoing through the room.

"We're giving this man medical treatment, go away." Luffy drones, glaring at the two. The monkey men give a frown, looking like they're about to cry.

"That's so nice of you!" They whimper, Luffy staring in annoyance. He doesn't complain when they take a spot in the room, sitting down in front of Cricket.

"So, you guys live here too." They shake their heads.

"Well, the boss's house is the headquarters of the Monkey Mountain Allied Force." Masira explains, "But we usually sleep on our own ships." You watch quietly as Luffy chats with the monkey's, feeling a tap on your shoulder. You tilt your head, Chopper handing you a blanket.

"You looked cold." You smile, wrapping the blanket around your shoulders.

"Thanks!" You giggle, Chopper giving you an embarrassed blush before rushing away. You smile lightly into the blanket, the warmth traveling all over your body.

"Hey, Luffy! He's coming to!" Your brief second of comfort was interrupted by Chopper yelling for Luffy from inside the house.

He bounded in, Cricket sitting up and facing away from the door. "Hey, diamond-head guy, we wanna ask you something." He slowly gets up, walking toward the open window, lighting up a cigarette.

"Sorry I attacked you guys; I thought you were after my gold." Cricket says.

He talks a puff of the cigarette, "What?! You have gold?!" Nami asked dreamily. Luffy ignores her daydreaming, pushing past her to get to Cricket.

"We wanna go to the Island in the sky! How do we get there!?" Cricket side eyes him, his brows ruffled in confusion and irritation. He smirks before beginning to laugh, you and Nami snarling in annoyance.

"There was only one man who said it existed, but he went down in history as a liar and his descendants have been the objects of ridicule ever since." Cricket says, sitting down slowly. Luffy takes a look at Usopp, dumbstruck.

Cricket ignores the two, "Noland the liar is an ancient tale." He mutters. Nami shushes the two arguing boys, shocked by his statement.

"You're his descendant!?" Nami asks, gasping as Cricket nods.

"The Mont Blanc family was driven off and forced to live in shame. Even to this day we're still ridiculed. But nobody in the family ever held it against him." Luffy raises a brow, confused.

"Why not?"

"Because we know that Noland was no liar." Cricket grits his teeth, the room becoming cold, and you wrap the blanket around yourself tighter.

"I don't believe he made it up. In the book, it shows him grinning like an idiot, but he actually died with tears rolling down his cheeks." He says, his voice low but impactful. "The island they reached was undoubtably Jaya. The same island that he said held the ruins of the city of gold."

Usopp nods his head, growing excited, "So, in order to clear the Mont Blanc name, you've been diving down to search for the city of gold." Cricket's blank expression grow enraged, pulling out his gun and brandishing it towards Usopp, who holds up his hands in defeat.

"None of that matters to me!" He roars, slowly calming down at as he looks back out the window. "I was ashamed of my family, so I left home and became a pirate. I just wanted to get away from Noland's curse. But as the one who hated Mont Blanc the most, fate had brought me here. There was no escaping it."

He puffs out some smoke, holding the cigarette between his fingers. "This is my battle with the man who ruined by life."

"But how come those monkeys are here." Cricket shrugs.

"They're fans of the story." He says, Nami and Usopp gawking. "Five or six years ago they heard about me and came here uninvited, convinced that Noland's gold was real." He smiles, listening to the brothers fight outside. "Those fools saved me." Usopp wiped his eyes, moved by his story. Luffy, though, looked unimpressed.

"I'm tired of monkey stories." Luffy announced, you shout towards him.

"Luffy!" You groaned through gritted teeth. He looked at you, lips pursed in annoyance.

"When'd you get a blanket?" You groan, rubbing you head.

"That's really what your worried about right now?" You frown, Luffy looking you up and down before turning his attention back to Cricket.

"Like I said, I wanna go to the sky island." Luffy yelled.

Noland rolled his eyes. "The one who spoke of the shy island was Noland the liar. " He grabs a logbook from the bookshelf. "If you believe his tales, you'll become a laughingstock like me." He hands the book to Nami.

"Huh? He went to the sky island too?" Luffy bounced excited. Cricket grumbles as Nami flips through the pages, viewing an interesting page.

"Amazing, a log from 400 years ago! "The age of Kaien 1120, June 21. Clear skies. Sailed from the lively town Vira. Will follow the log pose and sail straight east-northeast."" Luffy peers over Nami's shoulder, along with Usopp and Chopper, who was on top Usopp's head so he could see.

""Got hold of an unusual item from a merchant ship today. It's a one-man boat called a 'waver,' which one rides like a ski. This strange vessel can even sail on windless days by creating its own wind, but there's a knack to operating it that I have not yet been able to master. The crew are enjoying it now."

Nami pauses, Chopper urging her on. ""The power to run this vessel is found only on sky islands. I have heard there are many things with special properties up there. Speaking of sky islands, a fellow explorer once showed me a living sky fish, which was amazing to behold." Luffy's grin grows and grows, barely being able to control his elation. "It is a land our ships have never visited, but as a sailor, I wish to someday visit this sea in the sky. Mont Blank Noland.""

"A sea in the Sky!" Luffy yells, laughing with Usopp and Chopper. Cricket gazes at them, a smile barely visible, but there. Cricket walks outside, back near the ocean, Masira and Shoujou gazing at his solemn demeanor.

"These pirates are determined to go to the sky island." Cricket says, the two monkey men quiet for once. "The'll be killed if they try and get there."

"That's why I'm asking to help get them there." Cricket says, determined.

---

You sit next to Zoro, whose snoring next to you, his head tilted downward. Somehow, you lost the blanket Chopper gave you, the cold nipping at your skin. Shivering, you listen to Cricket explain the sky island to you all.

Cricket stands with his arms crossed, still smoking as he speaks. "Sometimes a mysterious phenomenon occurs in the seas around here. In the middle of the day, night suddenly falls on one part of the sea."

"We saw it!!!" Luffy raises his hands, yelling.

Usopp nods at him, "Yeah! It got dark and then some monsters showed up."

Cricket smiles, pointing towards the sea. "You mean the giants? Their origin is a mystery too." His eyes narrow. "The sudden night is actually the shadow of a dense mass of clouds."

"Imperiocumulu, the emperor cloud is what it's called. It's a dense mass of clouds high in the sky. There are no air currents or condensation within it." Luffy stares in disbelief.

"According to one theory, the emperor cloud has remained unchanged for thousands of years, like a petrified cloud that floats in the sky." Nami shakes her head, leaning back slightly.

"A dense cloud formation that doesn't produce rain?! That's ridiculous." Cricket waves his hand, sighing.

"I'm only telling you what I've heard. If a sky island does exist, that's almost certainly where you'll find it."

"Okay!! Let's get on top of that cloud! Hey Zoro, wake up!" He yells towards you, Zoro rubbing his eyes. You pat him on the back, trying to help him up.

"Is it morning yet?" Zoro mumbles, sighing when you shake your head.

"How many time do I have to tell you? We don't know how to get there yet!!" Nami yells, interrupting Luffy's and Usopp's celebration.

"Know this, the know up stream is deadly. You'll have to let it carry you up to the sky." Cricket pointed out.

"But won't it just smash up against the ocean? That's what I heard in Mock Town." Cricket nods.

"That's what usually happens, the critical thing is timing. Normally, it's something to be avoided at all costs. For approximately one minute, the sea rises high into the air."

Nami rises from her seat, arms straight on the table, "It rises for a whole minute? So, where can we find this current?"

"The coordinates change each time, but it happens five times a month." Cricket responds. Usopp beginning to shake at the idea.

"We'll be blown to pieces..." He laughs nervously, waving Luffy away, "Let's just forget about Skypiea, we wouldn't have any chance of making it."

"We'll be fine, let's go!" Luffy brushes him off as Usopp sighs.

"Don't worry, your ship can be reinforced I'll have Masira and Shoujou help you." Cricket says, pointing towards the house then the ship. Merry looked on the rougher side, loose bords and cracks everywhere.

Nami shakes her head, pointing to the log pose, "We can only stay on this island for one more day, any longer than that and the log pose will lock onto the next island."

Cricket turns his head, thinking for a moment "Tomorrow at noon, the knock up stream and the emperor cloud will appear."

Usopp jaw drops at the proclamation, closing when Sanji bursts out the house, along with Masira and Shoujou. "Boss! Food's ready!"

Luffy jumps, "Time to eat! Hurry, Usopp!"

---

"Are we really doing this, going to a sky island?" You whisper, to yourself, staring at your plate. Usopp was barely able to hear you over the ruckus around you. Luffy was goofing around with the monkey brothers.

"I can't believe it either." He says to you. "We meet this strange man who's willing to fix the ship and get up to a strange island that might not even exist." He lets out a dry laugh into his beer. "I couldn't imagine how you feel."

Your eyes widen, and the world becomes muffled as you focus on Usopp, nearly dropping your fork. It felt weird for someone's attention to be on you. He doesn't meet your gaze, taking a swig before continuing.

"You appear on some strange ship, with a bunch of weirdos and barely a week later you're seeing giants and hearing rumors about sky islands." You nod, unable to say anything. Everything was so shocking to you, it's why you remained by yourself for the most part. You couldn't for the life of you understand what was going on at any moment, and you were constantly afraid.

"I'm really thankful, y'know, for everything you've done." You watch Luffy dance and sing, Zoro drink with the monkey brothers, Sanji kick cricket away from Nami. No matter how you try to piece it together in your head, you don't feel like you belong. You heart sinks, but you smile anyway.

"I'm glad." Usopp says, reaching over to rub your arm. It was comforting, but you still felt like crying.

"When we got to the island we heard the strange cries of a jungle bird and the tolling of a giant bell. The sound that giant bell of pure gold made." Cricket started reciting parts of the logbook. "The sound of the Bell stopped us in our tracks."

Cricket jumped up, along with the monkey brothers, very drunk. He moved, grabbing a pure gold bell, and slamming it down. "It doesn't not that giant to me..." Usopp says, sweating.

"I didn't say it was that bell." Cricket claimed. "That's a bell-shaped ingot. I found three of them on the ocean floor." Robin moves closer to examine them.

"This does prove that there was a civilization in this region once. Ingots are created as a weight standard. They're used in trading." Cricket motioned towards Masira, him pulling something out of a bag. A pure gold bird.

"I think it was one part of a statue." He assumes, rubbing parts of the statue lightly. "This is a south bird. They're still found on this island." He said as Masira and Shoujou giggled.

Boom

Everyone in the room jumped, Cricket furrowing his brows at the sound. "This is bad! You have to go into the jungle!" He points towards the door. "You've got to catch one of these birds!!"

Everyone was confused and still recovering from the loud sound, "Why do we need a bird?!" Sanji asks.

"Listen carefully, the knock up stream is located directly south of here. This is the Grand Line, once you're out to seam there's no way to know your directions!"

Nami's eyes blow wide as she realizes what he means. "I get it. the log pose can only guide us to an island, no good for finding a patch of water. And our compass won't work here!"

Cricket nods, "You'll have to rely on the south bird!" he says, pointing to the statue. "Some animals have an innate sense of direction; the south bird is the best of them all. It's instincts always show it the right direction, you'll never get to the sky island without it."

"It's the middle of the night, you expect us to go off into the jungle now?!" You question, the sun was going to be up soon. Cricket shakes you off.

"We'll get to work on your ship right now." He motions Masira and Shoujou out of the room.

---

You and the others trek through the darkness of the jungle. Luffy, Sanji, and Zoro carry nets, as you and Nami hang in the back of group.

"Where is this bird." Luffy grunted. Zoro sent him an aggravated look.

"If I knew that, we wouldn't be wandering around in this jungle!" Zoro points out, ignoring the fearful cries from Usopp.

Sanji looks around, gazing at all the trees. "The only clue is it has a weird cry, the guy said we'd know it when we heard it."

Joh

"I guess that's a weird cry." You mumble, impressed it didn't take long to find it.

"All right!" Luffy said, pointing to everyone. "We'll split into three teams!"

You join up with Robin and Zoro, watching with disgust as he picks up and inspects a centipede. "It's huge." He says, pulling it up by it's entena.

"Poor thing, you don't have to kill them." Zoro snarls at the woman.

"Don't lecture me, it's their own fault for challenging me." He growls at her. He drops the bug back on the ground, narrowing his eyes at Robin,

"Anyway, I still don't trust you. Don't forget that." He walks away, you rushing to catch up to Robin. You huff, watching Zoro walk in the opposite direction.

"Zoro, we just came that way." You speak up, watching as he turns back around, embarrassed.

Joh

That cry again. Robin motions for you to follow her, walking towards branches and vines that are strangely slippery. Zoro yells for you to wait up, you and Robin too far to really hear him.

"What was he talking about?" You ask, Robin looking behind for a second. "Earlier, about not trusting you?" Robin doesn't answer, and you assume it was touchy subject, judging by her posture stiffening and her motions becoming ridged.

"Before you came here, I worked with a terrible man." She said, he words small, like she didn't want you to hear. "He hurt people, and Luffy helped take him down. He saved me." You could sense some softness in her voice. It was strange, for such a strong person like her.

"You think you can beat me huh?!" You heard Zoro howl, turning to see him yelling at...a grasshopper. You deflate and move closer to Robin.

Jooohhh!!!

"I heard the bird just now." Robin says, looking towards the trees. You swear you saw the bird, but it flies away as Zoro slashes at another grasshopper.

"Zoro! Give it up!" You scream.

---

"We didn't even get a feather from that bird." Robin says, crossing her arms in disappointment.

Joh! Joh! Joh!~

You look up, eyeing the south bird, it was almost like he was laughing at you. "He's saying "Ha! Ha! You can't catch me!"" Chopper translated. Usopp and Zoro grow annoyed, staring angrily at the playful bird.

"He's taunting us!?" Zoro growled. Usopp loaded his slingshot, aiming it at the bird, before missing with a sigh.

Joh?

Two arms appeared on the side of the bird, wrapping around it before falling to the ground. You turn to see Robin, using her Devil Fruit powers. The bird caws one more time before excepting his fate.

---

"Diamond head guy!!"

Cricket, Masira, and Shoujou were all laying on the ground, covered in blood but thankfully still breathing.

"I'm sorry, we failed. We couldn't stop them." Cricket gurgles to Luffy. "But there's still some time before sunrise, we can fix the ship and--"

"Just tell up what happened?!" Luffy yells. Cricket smiles, it looks painful.

"It doesn't matter, you got the south bird. Well done." He speaks.

"Luffy!" He turns towards Nami, she's panicked looking back and forth between him and the destroyed housed. "The gold ingots, they're gone."

"Forget about them. Cricket says, sitting up, albeit with a groan of pain.

"How can you say that, you dived for ten years to find that gold, you almost got yourself killed for it!!" Usopp screams at an emotionless Cricket.

He huffs, "Quiet. It doesn't matter...that's out problem. Listen." Blood dribbles down his forehead.

"If the entire Monkey Allied Force gets to work preparing your ship, you can still make it." Cricket groans. Usopp sighs, his gaze softening. Cricket looks exhausted, you couldn't image how hard he fought for you, the strawhats to get to the sky island. It makes you sick.

"Luffy." Zoro points to the beaten-up house, a painted smiley face with a line going diagonally though it's eye. That's Bellamy's mark, it was on Sarquiss's chest. "Need help?" Zoro asks.

"No, I can handle them." Luffy say blankly, his stare dark.

"No way Luffy! Don't even think about doing anything crazy!" Nami screams, desperate. But Luffy doesn't listen.

"If I follow the coast, I'll come to that town, right?" Luffy asks Robin, who nods her head.

Luffy cracks his fingers, walking towards the coast. "I'll be back by sunrise, don't worry."

jjk men on your period

note - wrote this bc im currently on mine and it sucks.

cw - afab!reader, reader has their period, mentions of food/eating, use of the word kill (it's nothing serious), a few suggestive themes in gojo's part. let me know if i miss any.

nanami kento

this man knows all about periods somehow. maybe his mother taught him or maybe he learned elsewhere, but the man knows.

he'll quickly realize when you get it or when you're on it.

he'll notice the changes in your mood and the sudden cravings for food.

he'll be pretty straight up when asking, he'd say something like -

"hon, are you on your period?", "did you get your period, angel?", "is it that time of month, my love?"

omg the pet names im crying

will do anything you ask and get you anything you want/need

(as if he doesn't already)

will also cook for you if you crave anything

cramps? no problem. this man will cuddle you and rub the pain away. will also kiss anywhere that's hurting.

if tummy rubs don't help, he'll warm up the heating pad for you. would also bring you some painkillers.

he would most definitely massage you if you were sore anywhere. lower back pain? he's got you covered.

knows the exact period products you use. he knows the exact brand of pads/tampons and the exact size/absorbency. he knows.

if you ever stain the bed, he would clean it up for you. he would reassure you that it's fine and remind you that bleeding through is normal, then tell you to go get cleaned up. won't ever use these situations against you and would never even dream of embarrassing you with them.

would 100% understand your mood swings.

"darling, why are you crying? did something go wrong?" "there was an ant crawling on me, so i tried to flick it off but when i did i accidentally killed it! i'm such a terrible person!" "oh, i see, i've been there. come here, shh, now, it's alright."

he memorizes how many days you bleed, how many days pass between your period days, what your usual symptoms are and even how heavy your flow is.

on the days where your flow is heavier than usual, he'll become a little worried and aware. you're losing a lot of blood, he doesn't want anything bad happening.

overall nanami would just be the best and most understanding person when it comes to your period. he would be there for you as much as possible and do anything to make you feel a little less miserable.

gojo satoru

at first, this man knows very little about periods.

he knows you'll bleed for a while, but won't understand why.

gojo doesnt bother finding out why until you get your period for the first time with him.

he will do as much research as humanly possible and in 3 hours, a full day at most, he will have every fact memorized.

search history would look like, "what is the reason for periods?" "what are period symptoms?" "what helps you feel better when you're on your period?" "how to make my partner feel comfortable during their period."

you're both luck and unlucky that gojo has a sweet tooth.

if you ask him for dark chocolate or any other sweet, he will either already have it or stock up on it. he'll buy at least 3 packs.

it's a sweet thing, but most of the time, he's the one eating them.

"toru, have you seen the kikifuku?"

gojo, whose cheeks would be full and dusted with powder, with the empty box in his lap, would answer, "no, where did you put it last?"

you'll pout when you find out he ate it all. but not to worry, he'll immediately buy 20 more packs to make up for it.

stocks up on period products too. will probably pull something like, "babe, i'm gonna buy some pads, but i need to know the size of your pussy. care to show me?"

(you'll smack him upside the head for it)

would most definitely use your period as an excuse to cuddle with you. but will also cuddle if you want/need to, how could he turn you down?

when you tell him you have cramps, at first he forgets what to do. he remembers something about a heating pad, but when you take his hand and rub it gently across your lower abdomen and your body relaxes, he realizes this would be a great option too.

would suggest period sex as a joke. he leaves out the part where he's kidding until you grab a pillow and start hitting him with it. it's really funny.

gojo satoru may not know much about this cycle at first, but after you he learns everything. he will help you in every possible way he can think of, though there will be a lot of teasing to come with it. sometimes you'll have to guide him or point out some things to him, but he'll gladly listen and learn, just for you.

enjoyed? give a like, maybe even a follow <3

Mota prompt, ot3 - Bucky/Buck/Curt. Just something about being the one black cat coded boyfriend between two orange cats coded boyfriends. I suppose the interesting thing here is that sometimes the black cat isn't who you think it is.

Curt can tell what people think of him and Bucky and Buck. They look at the three of them when they're introduced as a trio, and they immediately try to pinpoint which one is the most trouble.

Most of the time, they end up choosing Bucky. Which Curt doesn't consider a bad guess for strangers. Bucky's charming and loud and borderline annoying in his cockiness (all things that Curt liked right away). He's always got a joke and a grin, and he makes no bones about causing trouble if it gets a laugh.

When they decide it's Curt, he always responds with a slow, shit-eating grin and an easy roll of his shoulders. He never asks what sort of trouble they think he causes, but he knows what he looks like and what he sounds like, and when you're a stocky fucker from the Bronx with scars on your knuckles (he fell off his bike a lot as a kid), people figure you're the muscle for Bucky's mouth.

They're not entirely wrong about that, either.

What's amazing about watching people size up the three of them and choose who to watch out for, they never clock Buck. Not once. They eye him up and decide he must be a nice young man. Which is ridiculous because neither Curt nor Bucky come close to meeting that list of requirements, so why would Buck spend time with them if he's so polite and quiet and reserved.

It's a question Curt hears a lot. One Bucky even brings up in bed now and again to goad Buck into shoving him on the mattress and showing him exactly how "impolite" he can be. Those nights are extra-fun because Buck lets out the wilder part of himself. They all wrestle and leave marks on each other, and in the morning, Curt gets to watch with half-closed eyes as Buck examines where they've bitten him and left bruises and smile knowing he and Bucky have claimed him yet again.

The truth is, no one thinks Buck is any sort of trouble at all. The truth also is he's the biggest trouble of the three of them. It comes down to the fact that he's a fucking sneak and a half with the ability to keep a straight face while lying through his goddamn teeth. He pretends he doesn't know what he looks like, but Curt's seen that fucking smile get used to get out of trouble or steer attention away from whatever problem Curt and Bucky are causing.

"He's gonna be the goddamn death of us," Bucky mutters to Curt as they watch Buck go wide-eyed and faux-dumb to distract an angry soldier about paying out a poker loss to Curt, who he swears cheated.

Curt flips his spare ace back up his sleeve and ducks under Bucky's raised arm. "Only if he gets caught."

Bucky snorts in amusement and gives Curt a shake. Buck comes back over and drops on the other side of Bucky. "Come to an accord?" Bucky asks, pulling Buck close with his other arm.

"Nope. He won't pay." Buck watches the guy get led away by his friends, then reaches into his pocket and tosses a wallet in front of Curt. "So, I stole his wallet."

Bucky cackles and kisses Buck loudly on the cheek as Curt tucks the wallet under the table and takes the cash he's owed plus two dollars as annoyance tax. He passes the wallet back to Buck, who stands to leave the wallet someplace they can't be incriminated.

"Next time, tuck your fucking wrist," Buck says to Curt. Curt blows him a kiss. Buck leans across Buck and taps his forehead against Curt's. Curt doesn't feel Buck touch his wrist, but he laughs when Buck holds up the ace, then flicks it at him.

"Hey, what about me?" Bucky asks, and beams when Buck taps their foreheads together as he straightens.

Curt snugs up against Bucky again as they watch Buck walk halfway across the room and lean on a table to talk to the men there. It's only because he's taught him the trick that they see him push the wallet to the very tip of his fingers and drop it to the floor under the table.

"I am pretty sure he could murder us in broad daylight while being recorded by a newsreel camera, and no one would believe it," Curt says.

"Yeah, but what a way to go," Bucky replies, and Curt can only nod in agreement.

TW 70s era use of the word "queer"

Neil Hargrove doing a very working-class thing by volun-telling Billy that he will be spending his summer as a 14-year-old doing hard manual labor on a job site with some random ass uncle he didn't even know he had until one morning over dry Cheerios.

Neil drops him off at Uncle Matt's in Anaheim with a backpack and a duffel bag. See ya in September. "Don't cause your uncle any trouble," he warned with a thick grip on the shoulder before he took off for the interstate.

Billy stared at the man with hard eyes, his arms crossed in defiance. "You're not my real Uncle..."

The man chortled, ash sprinkling from the thick cigar chomped in his teeth. "Ya think so, tough guy?" He chuckled some more, waving for Billy to come inside.

Uncle Matt was a large man, as wide as he was tall. The furniture groaned when he sat down, casually kicking off his work boots and shrugging out of his suspenders as he picked up the can of beer from the side table.

"So Willy..." "It's Billy." Uncle Matt gave him a toothy grin. "Billy," he corrected, "Ya ever work a day in yer life?"

Billy sat on the corner of the couch, as the man took a long sip from his Coors. "Kinda. I mow lawns n' stuff."

Matt chuckled, "Ya ain't gonna be mowing no fucking lawns here! This is gonna be hardass work kid. Best get some sleep now..."

Billy rolled his eyes and headed off to the bedroom he was given.

After the first month, Billy and Uncle Matt fell into a routine. Matt's wind-up alarm clock was grating and shrill enough to wake Billy before Matt got two extra snores in at sunrise. The pair shared toast, eggs, and Folger's instant before heading out to the job site.

Billy's hands had gotten rough and calloused. Blistered and scabbed over more times than he could count.

"Hey Billy!" Matt called out over the ending shift horn. Billy slung the hammer in his grip onto the loop of his jeans and began climbing down the ladder. "Yah?"

"We're gonna have some company over tonight for dinner. My bookkeeper, Dan. So play nice." Billy smiled wryly. "I always play nice."

Things seemed a bit odd when dinnertime began rolling around. Uncle Matt was combing and carefully parting his hair in the mirror and was that the stench of aftershave on his beard?

Also for the first time in his life, Billy discovered what a tablecloth looked like as Matt carefully smoothed it across the dining room table. Billy crinkled his nose in suspicion, "Dan's a woman."

Matt barked out a laughed. "You're a hoot kid! Wait till Dan hears that!"

The doorbell rang and Matt stood up straight, smoothing his shirt. "Billy, can you set the plates out while I get the door?" Billy squinted at him, as the man hurried out of the room.

Peeking his head around the corner Billy snuck a glance at their guest.

Dan was not what Billy was expecting and he certainly wasn't a woman either. Dan was an average man of average height. He had shaggy brown hair and a thick mustache to boot. His face was set with round thick-rimmed glasses. What was so special about Dan that they had to have dinner with him?

The men hugged at the door, the embrace uncharacteristic of how Billy believed men should act around each other. They regarded each other warmly. "I'm so glad you came," Matt said quietly. "Me too. I've missed you."

Scurrying back, Billy quickly set the table and sat down, his heart thundering. He suddenly felt like he shouldn't be here. Like he was now a part of a horrible secret.

"Billy, this is Dan." Matt introduced as they entered the room. Billy awkwardly rose from his chair, weakly shaking his hand. "H-hey."

"Why don't you two have a seat and I'll fetch the chow, huh?" Matt said happily, a hand on Dan's shoulder.

"Oh, I'll help!" Billy forcibly stated, rushing into the kitchen.

Matt raised an eyebrow, "Ok..."

In the kitchen, Billy was nervously wringing his hands around a hot pad as Matt entered. "Are you a queer?" he blurted out, regretting it in an instant.

Matt set down the crockery he had set to take in. "I am Billy. Does that make you uncomfortable?"

Billy twisted the hot pad back and forth in his hands, "I... – I don't know. It's like..." He was struggling, his nose scrunching and his eyes watering up. "You're... you're not supposed to."

Uncle Matt ripped a paper towel off the rack and handed it to Billy. "It's okay tough guy, you don't gotta figure it all out right now. If you wanna have dinner in your room you can."

Billy shook his head, blowing his nose loudly. "But you made all this, and... you're real nice, and... –"

"... a damned queer." Matt added with a deadpan delivery. "Just don't tell your father, he'd have a heart attack."

Billy laughed.

"Now c'mon. Chow's gettin' cold."

*sigh*

Y'know, this really doesn't/shouldn't matter, but as this particular accusation keeps getting thrown at me over and over again - oh fuck it, I'm gonna take the bait this one time and set the record straight once and for all. Honestly my "appetite" in this context is truly not anyone's business (and if you don't care to hear about it this is the one warning you'll get to click away lmao) but I've reached the point where if you really wanna attack my credibility based on who you think I enjoy fantasizing about, I'm gonna throw you a bone and tell you exactly what type that is - cuz as much as I'm sick of the ad hominem attacks the Aussie in me is even more sick of watching them miss so fucking hard. If you're gonna roast me, the least you can do is hit me where it hurts, goddamn it. Get it right or go home you uncooked noodles. Capiche?

When it comes to my taste in men, my "type" is: big, strong, hairy brutes. There, I said it. Give me lumberjacks, give me cavemen, I want my Jason Momoas, I want my Ma Dong-Seoks, I want them broad shoulders and tree-trunk calves and I wanna see those muscles bulge. If a fictional character ever gets me biting my lip at the screen, it's never gonna be a fine-featured pretty boy, it's gonna be a good thick daddy who can take my wrists, pin me against a wall and [--------------------------------‐---sustained bleep sound effect---------------------------------]

1:38-1:51 🤣

Personality wise, I'm a basic bitch who has approximately zero defenses for the "jerk with a heart of gold" stereotype. Gets me every time, without fail. The smooth-talking playboy who flirts with everyone and who could bed anyone he wanted, but who only lets you see him at his deepest, dearest, most vulnerable moments? Sorry, am I supposed to not fall for that shit or something? Well frankly I don't understand how and I'm not ashamed to admit it. If he happens to be built like a fortress on top of that? Yeah, I'm done. Have me bathed and brought to your tent, sir, please and thank you.

I admit, it's rare that a character with the physique I like also has that heartbreaker personality I'm a sucker for. Guys in fiction are usually strong and mean or they make up for their lighter frames with silver tongues and barbed promises - rarely do writers create a character who's stacked with both brains and brawn, so to speak. Makes sense though, as while irl people can max out any combination of stats that they put effort towards - in fiction a character who's too good at too many different attributes can come across unbalanced or Gary Stu-ish and will fail to resonate with audiences unless the writer really knows what they're doing.

That being said, there really isn't any character in ATLA who fits my type - either of them, actually. There are some bit characters like Chit Sang who get close in terms of physical build - but Chit Sang has very gaunt, angular facial features that I'm really not a fan of and tbh, while I get that I can't expect all my big buff boys to also be masters of wit and cunning and charm, being dumber than a box of rocks does seal it for me, sorry. In terms of personality, I guess the closest character would be Jet, and he's cool and all but yeah, the whole "would go as far as killing kids" thing makes him a bit of a hard sell for me too. (And yes, it's worth questioning the writers' choices to create him with those flaws to begin with but look, that's a discussion for another day 😂)

All this to say, if you wanna tease me about coveting fictional characters and allowing thirst to cloud my judgment - COME AT ME BOYS. But not with Zuko, for fuck's sake. The character that makes sneezy.exe blue-screen ain't him. It's actually the late great Carthaginian General Hannibal Barca, the man the myth the legend may he Rest in Peace if anyone's seriously wondering. Look, I do like the scar, and the awkwardness is endearing - he's definitely not ugly or unappealing by any means so please don't misunderstand, I'm not trying to bash him or nothin' - but if I'm being brutally honest, he's not my type! Not physically, not even emotionally. If I ship Zutara, it's because aspects of the ship appeal to me that are unrelated to my personal opinion of Zuko as an object of fantasy, which if you must know (and now you do, congratulations, you're welcome), the kind of boy I do fantasise about when I'm in the mood for that sort of thing could literally and figuratively sweep Zuko off his feet - and then sit on him. In either order.

P.S. While we're on this topic, the character I personally relate to most heavily is not Katara either btw. It's Toph. If you're going to accuse me of bias, questioning my views on Toph would make the most sense for that reason. But really, it's hardly my fault that she's basically the most perfect flawless irreproachable badass in ATLA or practically all of animation as a whole. Come on now. *whistles innocently*

#anti anti zutara #fandom nonsense #zuko's nice and all but if you want him you can have him #seriously #I'm good thanks 👍#if he were built more like the Hound in GOT #well now we're talking 🤣#text post #long post #rebutting antis like Iroh teaching that mugger to mug better #LOL #Youtube

NSFW Topic Warning

Stark contrast from the posts I usually make, but this one's gonna have NSFW topics because I'm pissed off about things so be warned.

It's really been getting under my skin lately that non-fetishized lesbian porn made for and by other lesbians is SO hard to find. Another alter in the system, his name is Milo, is a stricly gay trans man and it's SO EASY for him to find content when he wants it. Even gay porn of trans men! But the second I go looking for lesbian porn, all I can find is straight women being sexy at a camera for straight men to fetishize. And I can tell because there is such a wide difference between the framing and videography and tones of fetishistic "#lesbian" content and actual sapphic content and the former just makes me feel so gross. I don't want to be fetishized, I just want to be horny!

I refuse to use PH partly because of the fetishization but mostly because of the mass exploitation and abuse that happens on there that goes completely unreported and unpunished not just of adult sex workers but also of children and teens that shouldn't be on camera in the first place. I normally use Twitter, but that's where my problem lies in trying to find decent content! I managed to find a singular good account, but not only is all of their content just the same maybe 7-10 videos reposted every month so there's NOTHING new, but they also repost straight content and while that's not, like, a bad thing I just want to be a lesbian in peace!! Without straight people!!

I vented these frustrations with a friend recently and he recommended a BDSM site but the thing is I'm not really into BDSM. I'm not looking for kinky stuff like that- not that anything's wrong with it. BDSM is genuinely one of the healthiest lifestyles I know of when done correctly- I literally just want vanilla lesbian porn made by lesbians for other lesbians! And for some reason, that's so much to fucking ask for!

I think the part of all this that really ticks me off is that content of gay men is so accessible. I can't even count the amount of accounts on twitter who are all gay men (cis AND trans men) making exclusively gay content for other gay men, but the fact that I can't even find ONE good account for lesbian content? It pisses me off!

In all the strides we've made in being a more accepting society of LGBTQ+, why the fuck is it so hard to find stuff like this? Why do the queer men get to have a good time, but I'm struggling to find ONE good source of exclusively sapphic content? Not to say that queer men have it easy, we're all struggling in the same boat don't get me wrong. But it just sucks that the sapphic side of the boat still has a good amount more water in it than the boys' side.

All of this in addition with the stereotypes? The whole thing of people expecting sapphic relationships to be a masculine, woodworking, flannel wearing butch and a dainty, nails and makeup, princess-like femme when there is SO much more than that! Butch4Butch lesbians I love you so much, Femme4Femme lesbians you are doing SO great sweetie. Lesbians who don't really fall into either category, you are incredible! Nonbinary lesbians, you're amazing and keep up the good work! Transbians, you are the bravest fucking people on the planet and I hope you get to fight God one day because you WILL win and you deserve that W.

Not to mention the weird purity culture involved with other queer people trying to palette us for straight people? Saying that lesbians as a whole are soft and nice and pretty? Girl, we're not all coquette and Lana Del Rey. Some of us are, sure, but there is literally no way to try and market lesbians to heteronormative society in a little bow because we don't all fit in one box! And yes, lesbians have sex! It's not all soft romance and cuddling and holding hands on cafe dates. Just like literally every and any other kind of couple, while there's still romance and cutesy moments we still get horny and worked up like literally any other person on earth (Other than asexuals. Not all of you, of course. Shout out to asexuals who still have sex, I see you and you are loved). And what happens when we do? We fuck! We have hot lesbian sex and it's great!

Also, might I add that it's really misogynistic to try and label lesbians as this group of pure, innocent, soft and fluffy group of women who couldn't possibly have a sex drive! Or on the other hand, saying that all lesbians are horndogs who can't keep themselves off each other- because I've seen that one, too! I hate being labeled like this, why is it SO HARD for people to just accept that lesbians are literally just people. We're just like everyone else- the ONLY thing different is that we don't wanna be romantically or sexually involved with men. That is IT!!!!!

And in terms of the lack of good sapphic content, it also goes beyong porn! Literally every sapphic show I've seen released in the past few years has been cancelled after ONE season and then a lot of it just gets deleted entirely so that one season isn't even available anymore!! But the you have Heartstoppers and Love, Simon and I just! I'm happy that we as a community have fought hard enough to have these things. I'm not trying to drive a wedge between the achillean and sapphic communities. I just wish us sapphics got the same treatment as the men do.

I love being a lesbian, don't get me wrong. But sometimes I am exhausted from being overlooked. From being glanced over and shoved into a box that I nor anyone else in that box fits into. I want to be a lesbian in peace.

Just a Number

Bucky Barnes x Reader

Summary: Reader meets Bucky at a party and the attraction is more than either one of them wants to resist.

Reader is 47 and has adult kids who aren't sure about her new beau.

Chapter 8

Notes: it feels like it's been forever but I'm still alive. The holidays were rough, we were all sick and broke but my family is together and that's what's important. The husband and oldest are both working full time now and it's gonna take some time but life is heading back towards our normal level of broke.

My muse is very slowly waking up and I'm hoping to find the inspiration to get back to work on my other wip's and even have an idea or two for new stories.

I just realized that I've gone over 1000 followers and can only offer my shock and gratitude to y'all.

Hope this is worth the wait.

Warnings: swearing, angst

Y/N was too busy for the next few days to do more than work and sleep. Contract disputes arose in Malaysia which meant 3 nights away from home. It wasn't so bad, Pepper always had the best of everything and wasn't stingy.

She struggled to sleep with the time changes and late night meetings, only wishing she could go home to her own bed and sleep for at least a day straight.

That might not help her dreams. They started sweet before turning sexy and she never had the chance to get any release when they went bad. In one dream she let Bucky tie her up and he quickly went from teasing to torturing. If she was lucky she woke up screaming but sometimes she couldn't wake herself up and was trapped by the Winter Soldier, who then morphed into John, until something woke her up.

The first night home from Malaysia she woke up crying and went down to the kitchen for some tea, only to find Dawn waiting with her mug and the tea kettle whistling.

Dawn spoke softly.

"Come have a cuppa and talk to me Sissy. I feel like I haven't seen you in ages"

Y/N scoffed softly "Don't be so melodramatic I've only been gone for a few days."

Dawn shrugged "It's not the same here when you're gone. Maybe I'll get a dog."

Y/N smirked "Fine, as long as it's not some yappy purse dog. Pits and Shepherds are good."

Dawn's smile grew "You said fine, I'm getting a puppy next Saturday. You want to come to the shelter with me?"

Y/N smiled and nodded "I'm in."

Dawn poured hot water in their mugs "Now that's been settled. What's going on? I heard crying."

Y/N shook her head "Nothing. I'm just severely jet-lagged and can't sleep. My schedule is all fucked up. I'll be alright, just need some sleep. Luckily, Pepper gave me tomorrow off."

Dawn looked at her pointedly "None of that equals crying so tell me."

Y/N shrugged "Weird dreams involving James and John, I don't know how to sort them out. I miss James, was looking forward to seeing him and now I don't know when that will be. I don't miss Johnny but do hope he's alright."

Dawn nodded "Some sleep will help. And a puppy. Definitely need a puppy."

Y/N chuckled "So we can fight over who he sleeps with?"

Dawn smirked "So we'll get two puppies."

Y/N rolled her eyes at her sister and drank her tea before Dawn gave her a hug and she went back to her room to try and get some sleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On the other side of the world things weren't going much better. John hadn't stopped complaining since he saw Bucky that first day. Bucky had been getting some amusement over Johns whining but was ready to put him down after the three of them got into it with some small time organized criminals who accused them of dealing on their turf.

Or that's what they thought until Sam realized one of them was enhanced.

Instead of focusing on taking the men down, John spent most of that fight trying to get the shield from Sam who ended up hurt pretty badly over it.

Bucky had enough and was giving John a piece of his mind when John tried to sucker punch him.

Unfortunately for John, he was still adjusting to his enhancement from the serum, while Bucky had been fighting with the serum for decades and caught John's fist with his vibranium hand.

He glared at John but couldn't help smirking when John realized he was caught.

Bucky squeezed John's hand "You gonna stop acting like a bitch or do I have to break your fucking hand?"

John whined "No, you can't you'll lose your pardon. I'll say you started it."

Buckys grin grew as John fell to his knees "You're on thin ice with the govt already, sure you want to take that chance?"

John cried out "Fine! Fine. Shit!!" and clutched his right hand to his chest when Bucky released it.

Bucky offered a hand up which John slapped away, making Bucky laugh out loud before he went to check on Sam. They took a day to let Sam rest and recover.

By the end of the week looking for the power broker, nerves were frayed. Sam was ready to let Bucky have at John and just turn his head.

Friday night found the three men and Sharon drinking mini bar shots in a hotel suite in Croatia.

Sharon was all over Bucky even after he repeatedly and politely asked her to stop.

Sam was practically passed out on one of the chairs, mumbling out comments at the game of Cards Against Humanity they had been playing for 4 hours.

John was a little better off than Sam but likely only because of the serum.

Sharon had been going in and out for at least an hour but her occasional snores made John and Bucky giggle.

Bucky downed 3 tequila shots in quick succession, wishing for even a slight buzz for his efforts, before elbowing John in the ribs.

It didn't occur to him that he was inebriated and spoke in a slurring stage whisper "Hey" he tapped John's shoulder "Hey!" John mumbled then snored so Bucky slapped him across the face, 'gently' with his flesh hand "JOHNNY!!"

John sat up abruptly "What? Goddammit Olivia why are you waking me up. Stupid bitch."

He looked around for a moment before realizing where he was when he saw Bucky staring at him. John scoffed "What the buck do you want Fucky? Keep bugging me and I'll make sure you never get near my sister again."

John looked around some more until he saw Sharon "Sharon!!" When she groaned and rolled over he mumbled again. "Fucking cunt better wake up so we can....."

Bucky listened to his mumbling, trying to figure out what John was doing with Sharon. He couldn't understand why he felt drunk all of a sudden but blacked out before he could figure it out.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The rest of the week flew by and on Sunday Y/N was preparing tacos for dinner with her kids.

Jessie arrived early and helped while discussing work and a guy she met on her lunch break.

Michael showed up late and Y/N could smell the alcohol on his breath. She wasn't pleased with that but knew it would make it easier to get his secrets out of him.

Y/N heard her phone dinging in her bedroom and left Jessie to watch the meat.

When she looked at the text there was no number listed and a bunch of dark pics with a nude couple, obviously mid coitus. She gasped when she saw the glint of gold on Bucky's left arm and her stomach fell when she saw the woman on top of him had long blonde hair that was definitely not hers. Her eyes filled with tears and she quickly shuffled to the bathroom to splash some water on her face and put her phone away to be dealt with later.

Jessie scoffed at her brother "What is wrong with you Mikey?"

Michael smirked at her "Just celebrating, my dear sister. Getting rid of some dead weight." He laughed at his comments and Jessie growled at her brother.

She grabbed his collar "You better not be screwing with mom or Sargent Barnes." She stood on her tiptoes and looked him in the eyes "I will fuck you up if you hurt her, Mikey. I'm not playing."

Michael scoffed "A little heartbreak today will spare her from much worse later on. Now can we eat yet?"

Y/N overheard Michael but couldn't understand half of his words. She shook her head, knowing he was up to something because he almost never drank, and walked up to her kids.

"Michael, can you set the table please. Auntie is out so it's just the three of us."

Michael scoffed "She's gonna end up with AIDS or something, as much as she whores around."

Y/N bristled and tapped him upside his head "MICHAEL DAVID! What the Hell is wrong with you? You will not speak of your aunt like that."

He rolled his eyes "You talk about uncle Johnny like that all the time. What's the difference?"

She sighed "Jessie, can you make some coffee for your brother?" Then turned on her son "The difference is that Dawn helped raise you and has always been there for all of us while Johnny disrespected me and your father every chance he got. Or did you drink so much you forgot about that? I don't know what's going on but you better think real hard about the next thing you say to me."

Michael looked in her eyes and spat "If you cared so much about dad then why are you disrespecting him by fucking a war criminal?"

His head was turned before he realized she had slapped him. His hand flew up to his cheek and he looked at her in shock.

"You know I loved your father and more importantly he knew but he has been gone for over 5 years. Do you expect me to live alone for the rest of my life? I'm almost 50, not almost dead and I deserve to be loved, dammit."

She paused to take a sip of her wine "And James is a good man who was forced into fucked up circumstances. The government has pardoned him and you don't need to make his life any more difficult than it already is." She shook her head "I don't know how you ended up such a selfish and judgemental prick but your father would be ashamed. Now help your sister bring the food in."

Michael just stared at his mother before walking away muttering "That assholes life will be real simple when he's locked up on the Raft."

He pulled his phone out and didn't realize Jessie was listening until he ran into her "What have you done, Michael? I can't believe you would sabotage Moms happiness."

He scoffed "She'll get over it. Be easy for a slut like her to find another guy."

Jessie punched him in the stomach and took his phone away when he doubled over. Her eyes grew wide when she saw the messages from their uncle and she shoved Michael to the floor before hurrying to the dining room

"MOM!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Early morning that same day, Bucky woke up feeling hungover, in a strange bed. It took a few minutes for him to sit up and remember where he was. He held his head and groaned, jumping when he heard a moan right next to him. He looked over and practically fell out of bed trying to get away from his bed mate. When he hit the floor he realized that he was naked. Grabbing the blanket he stood up awkwardly trying to cover his nudity. As he pulled on it he saw it sliding off of the person in his bed, who he definitely didn't want to uncover.

She groaned "Jimmy, baby what's wrong?"

Bucky shook his head "Sharon? What the fuck are you doing in here? I told you to leave me alone."

Sharon giggled "Yeah you started that way but as the night went on you got much friendlier. Come back and I'll show you." She invited as she uncovered herself.

Bucky closed his eyes and shook his head "Nononono, Sharon you need to go. I don't want this, I don't want you. This didn't happen."

Sharon pouted "It definitely happened. Wanna see the pictures?"

"What? Pictures? What did you do to me Sharon? I remember drinking, playing some crazy card game and waking up just now." Bucky felt his heart speeding up and felt light headed "No, this didn't happen. You and John did something to me. You drugged me."

Sharon smiled wickedly "Aawww, how could little ol me do anything to a big bad super soldier? I think you wanted me and took what you wanted. Nothing wrong with that." She shrugged. "I definitely enjoyed it and the evidence says you did too."

Bucky could feel a panic attack coming on and felt his knees buckle before he dropped to the floor, his head fell into his hands "No. This can't be real. Please God don't let this be real."
