Fluff, smut, angst??
Pairing: Jake Lockley x f!reader, hints of Marc Spector x f!reader x Steven Grant
Warnings: Mentions of abusive relationships, reader was in an abusive relationship, smut (18+ only), fingering, unprotected p in v (use protection), standard Jake Lockley warnings, marking (???), DID, Google translate Spanish,Ā Jakeās not as kinky as he is in some fics, love that Jake but my version is a little softer, is this in character? idk
A/N: Iām so nervous. The pressure to write a sequel to something you guys love so much is unreal, but Iām so glad you enjoyed it! I havenāt written much smut before, so Iām genuinely unsure of how this turned out. But I want to give it a try, and still include my usual cuddly softness and some plot. If it flops, Iām deleting this and pretending it never existed.Ā Second, I donāt speak Spanish at all, so this is Google translate Spanish though I did do some research to hopefully add some authenticity.

The thought comes to him as he watches you wander the flat one morning in nothing, literally nothing, but one of his button down shirts. Jake loves you. In the few weeks since what he, Marc, and Steven had deemed the pizza incident, Jake had fallen completely and desperately in love with you. Your notes got tucked into his visor each morning. He eats any food you make him. Once he even made a sorry attempt at cooking for you, much to Marcās amusement.
But he hadnāt told you he loved you, hadnāt even admitted it to himself really. Not until today.

No Drug Like Me - Part I
Tonight is a windless night.
I know as soon as I heave open the window of this storied chamber. A thick layer of dust billows up at the disturbance, making me cough and wave my arms about stupidly as I, fruitless in my efforts, try to clear the air.
Canon Divergence: Jude decided to take Cardan in small doses during The Wicked King. Lovers AU
Summary: Jude was a fool for try to best Cardan here. She may be a cunning spy and a swords master but the bedroom and lovemaking was his domain.
~~~
āShall we continue?ā he asked in a voice of innocence that certainly seemed akin to lying with how far innocence was from his intentions.
~~
Jude had underestimated Cardan. She got her prize, she had won the battle, but he was going to win the war. With that miserable thought in mind and her pride boiling with anger she spat out her response, āfuck you.ā
Cardanās chuckle was dark and dangerous as he said, āwith pleasure.ā
Rating: M is for mature and mad filthy (but ends sweetly)

set during the Wicked King
inspired by these sketches
warnings: hair pulling, spanking, and light bondage
As she lay sprawled out on her hands and knees, dirty, sweaty, and out of breath, it was clear to Jude Duerte that pride was her hamartia. She could have everything that she needed if she would only concede but stubbornly she refused to. Her pride wouldn't allow it, no matter how desperate she was.
Instead of the glory, she assumed she would achieve that night she lay there pathetically at his mercy. Something she deeply detested. She detested it almost as much as the smirk she could practically hear on his full lips as an infuriatingly cocky laugh rumbled out from deep in his throat. A laugh that had her toes curling and her seeing red and seething. Just as most things that came from his lips did.
Jude gritted her teeth together as she futilely attempted once more to get him to relent but the ironclad grip on her hair did not loosen and she was met with another rumble of laughter followed by a resonating smack of skin against skin. Her cheek stung from the impact and the slap made her burn red hot. The blow would surely bruise.
She hated him for this. Absolutely loathed him for it. She could easily beat him in a fight, have him on his back with a knife to his throat in less than ten seconds if she wanted. He knew that as much as she did. He probably relished in the knowledge of it, of having her here like this when she could easily best him. But she couldnāt now. Not if she wanted what she came for. Tonight her only option of getting what she needed would be to play nice. Something she was not fond of nor good at. Something that she absolutely did not want to do. Jude wanted nothing more than to make him see red as she did at that moment.
In her anger and frustration, Jude let his name snarled from her lips, āEnough of your stupid games Cardanā she nearly spat the last syllable out.
She was met with another slap, its impact sent her reeling with a groan slipping from her mouth. She hated to give away that his blow affected her at all; that groan was a loss for her. He hummed at the sound she made. Satisfied that her patience was running thin. Happy that he was getting to her. He knew he was winning. He gripped her hair tighter, tugging her head back and her lips pulled into a sneer. She could hear that fucking smirk again as he murmured into her ear with the buttery voice of a lover, āWhat games do you speak of my darling Jude?ā
She struggled again but to no avail. The āmy darlingā getting to her just like he knew it would. Oh, it made her burn. āYou know what Iām speaking of!ā
All that he smugly replied with was āDo I?ā a small quip from his devastating lips.
She knew he was toying with her. Responding with questions to avoid having to speak in truths. A common trick of the fae used to deceive those around them. But Jude was having none of it.
āGive me what I want, Cardan!ā it was a vicious snarl from her lips. He stilled completely at it and she knew it had been a mistake to let her temper fly. She knew he would only give her what she craved if she played by his rules and losing this prize was not an option for her. She couldnāt afford it. Jude was absolutely desperate.
He leaned in close to her ear once more and in a hushed whisper that sent a shiver, not unlike a premonition, down her spine and said, āall you have to do is ask Jude. But make it pretty, befitting of the king of fairy,ā his words were an infuriating echo of what he had said to her not so long ago at the summer tournament after she had bested him in the war games. He had gripped her hair like this then too. But Jude doubted she would best him tonight.
She hated it. She hated him for this.
āGo fuck yourself,ā she spat at him. He gripped her hair painfully tight this time and slapped her ass harder than he had before. The combination left a series of moans spilling out of her.
He drank up her cries like it was the fine wine they had drunk from the bottle which sat empty next to their dinner on the discarded tray situated on his bed next to them. The gaudy fabric of the comforter cushioned both of their knees, his tucked under and between hers, forcing her legs to be spread wide for him.
āBut then Iād have to stop fucking you, my sweet nightmare. And I know neither one of us would want thatā he looked down to where he was buried to the hilt in her, still and unmoving. His free hand massaging her red and sore butt cheeks that were bruising from his earlier abuse.
āEspecially not after you were dressed up so divinely for me tonight. That dress was just begging to come off wasnāt it?ā He hummed as his free hand went from massaging her sore bum to teasing her right above the nub between her thighs. So close to where she desperately needed him to be but giving her no reprieve and only making her more desperate. Jude bit her lip, refusing to respond, her stubbornness digging its heels in, so Cardan continued on.
āI could tell how wound up you were when you showed up here. With a pretty blush already on your breasts and the sweet scent of your arousal coming from your skirts with every step you took towards me.ā The dress in question laid discarded on the floor beside his own clothes. It had been raven-black to match his hair, hugged her curves and muscles like a second skin, and was dangerously low cut. Definitely not her usual attire, definitely wasn't subtle Jude realized with embarrassment. Both of their wardrobes had been removed in haste not far into their dinner. The buttons of Cardanās ridiculous blouse scattered the tiles beneath the bed, having been ripped from the fabric as Jude rushed to undress him in her lustful frenzy.
āSo unusually kind of you to bring dinner and wine for me, to ask to eat in my company. I know it was all just an act to get me to fuck you, Jude. The least you could do for me is beg for it,ā he whispered dangerously, his voice thick with his arousal.
Jude flushed again, this time in shame from his words. That he truly thought it out of her character to be kind. It was true of course. Jude wasnāt a very kind person, not after what she had lived through. But for some reason that was beyond her, she wanted him to think highly of her. She wanted him to think she was kind. And most bizarre of all, she wanted to be kind to him. Perhaps fairyland was driving her mortal mind mad after all.
āIt wasnāt just to get you to bed me Cardan,ā Jude answered ashamed of how breathy it came out, ashamed of what she was about to say, āI did want to enjoy your company tonight. I brought you dinner and wine because I thought it would make you happy.ā
Jude would be damned before she begged him or anyone for anything. But if he wanted sweet words from her she would give it to him at this point. His free hands had moved upwards from tracing around her clit and had gone to circle her breasts. From time to time he would give them a brutal squeeze. More taunting but no release. Jude was a bundle of nerves wound up painfully tight. She needed her prize and she would be getting it if it was the last thing she did. She just wouldnāt beg for it.
To her surprise, he landed another searing smack to her backside sending her sliding forward and had him pulling her back onto his cock by her hair. Judeās toes curled on the mattress, more moans spilling from her lips. She was beyond keeping them in at this point, the wine they had drunk making her dizzy, or perhaps it was just him doing that. The lust fogged her brain more than the alcohol did. She tried to slide forward again so she could push back onto his delicious length, rock hard and throbbing within her, but he held her hair tight, keeping her in place. Still no release in sight.
āDirty mortal liarā Cardan spat at her, not believing her wishes to make him happy. Landing another brutal blow on her bum. Cardan had confessed to Jude in the court of shadows that he was no killer, but that didnāt take away from his cruel nature. He wasn't being gentle with her. Jude didnāt want him to be.
The spanking was a mercy compared to the torture he had been forcing her to endure. The sharp slaps gave her friction and reprieve from his cold refusal to please her in the ways she craved. And now because of her earlier outbursts, he remained buried in her gut unmoving and wouldn't move an inch till she begged him to. Before at least he had been in motion albeit it being painfully slow. Sliding in and out of her aching core, still slick and throbbing from his earlier ministrations with his mouth. He had spent longer feasting on her than he had on his meal, now cold and forgotten. He had tortured her with his tongue, bringing her to the edge of precipice but never allowing her to tumble over the peak into blissful oblivion.
She thought he would finally give her release when he slid his gloriously thick length inside of her but still he only taunted her. Slowly he would slide in and out of her, mocking her with what she was desperate for. He would pull out to his tip, her hair locked in his ringed hand keeping her in place while he eased back into her wetness at a punishingly slow pace. All the while knowing she was desperate for more. Each strike to her ass had been a godsend, pumping red hot arousal to her system while his little endearments, āmy Judeā, āmy sweet nightmareā spurred her on. Cardan knew she secretly loved to hear them. Knew she loved hearing him call her āhisā. Knew it made her think of all the things he could do to claim her as his; with his hands, mouth, and cock.
But they were far too alike the two of them, Cardan as prideful and stubborn as she. Jude could feel him pulsing inside her. A pounding throb in time with his heartbeat. She knew it had to be painful at this point, he was torturing himself as much as he was her. But that was part of the thrill for him. He loved the powerplay, loved toying. He wanted to come out on top; Jude couldnāt let him.
āI may be a liar Cardan but I didnāt just then. I want to make you happy.ā Jude was panting as she spoke. She would never live this down. She couldnāt bring herself to care though. It was the truth. She wanted it as much as she wanted him at that moment. She hadnāt been able to rid herself of the guilt of tricking him into the crown and chaining him to the throne as well as her command. She wanted to see a smile on his face rather than the sneer that lived there most days, as breathtaking as he was with either. Jude wanted Cardan to be happy and she wanted to be the one to make him feel that way. Especially after she was the source of his misery. Although it wasnāt as though he hadnāt been the source for much of hers in the past. That alone was the only thing that kept her from begging him to give her what she so desired. That she was horny enough to even consider begging him, if he was deserving of it, was something she didn't want to think too much about.
āIf you wanted to make me happy Jude,ā he said her name like a curse, his frustration with her stubbornness evident, āyou would beg for me.ā
She felt a ghost of a touch tickle against her arm then flee away an instant later. She peeked down as much as she could with Cardan pulling her head back like he was. Below, his tail was coiling and uncoiling. Whipping back and forth sporadically. Like a catās would while it attacked its prey. Before, he had the laziness of a cat who had caught a mouse; a cat that was toying its food before devouring it. Now he was agitated and ready to strike. Jude could use that.
At her refusal to respond to him Cardan tisked and lamented āwell if you have nothing to ask of me, my goddess of death, then I suppose we are done here.ā
He started to pull out of her as though he meant to leave her there as a panting, aching, mess with no release in sight. Her prize to be lost. She felt his tail whisper next to her arm again, just as he slid his tip out, and with the desperation of a mouse fleeing its captor, Jude latched onto his tail and ripped him back, slamming his raging length deep into her. Hard. The cross between a groan and a whimper that escaped from his lips, and the toe-curling feeling of him slamming into her made her mad with desperation and giddy with power. Jude wasn't the mouse anymore. She was a lioness; she was going to feed.
āYouāll do well to remember who put that crown on your head, My King. Begging is out of the question and will be until you are worthy of it,ā she purred at him. āAs your sechel, Iād advise you to please me and do it well. But, and more importantly,ā she said as sweet as the fruit of the everapple tree, āAs the Queen of Shadows and master of your fate I demand you do it,ā she finished with a smirk, using the word ādemandā instead of ācommandā, so there was no true magical power over him to do so.
āAnd Cardan,ā She said glancing over her shoulder, his grip on her hair had gone slack enough for her to do so from his shock at her actions and words, āDo make it worthy of a Queen.ā
Her bravo started to wear off as the giddiness faded. It was in that moment, staring into the Achingly beautiful face of the High King, whose midnight black orbs burned like fire threatening to consume her that Jude realized her mistake. From the look of the wickedly sinister grin on his sinful lips, Jude knew would be getting her prize after all⦠and then some. Cardan had been playing nice until now, in hopes she would be nice in turn to him. Now that he knew there would be no such thing he was more than willing to unleash himself on her relentlessly.
What a fool she had been to forget one of the first rules of fairyland: Be careful what you wish for.
Jude would be lucky to be able to sit down or move for the next week without being sore if their last row together was any indication of how the rest of the evening would play out.
Cardanās grip on her hair tightened again and used his free hand to trace a single finger up the curve of her spine, sending goosebumps flying in its wake. He pulled her up against his chest by her hair. Her head resting on his shoulder now, breasts pushed out to the world and peeking from the chill in the room brought on by his change in mood. Being the High King gave Cardan control over the weather and such things; no more nice Cardan who gave her sweet endearment, this was the Cardan she was most familiar with, his face the picture of icy rage.
Her breath plumed in clouds from the frigid temperature and ruffled the raven black hair sticking to the sweat on his brow. She shivered from the cold. He was so devastatingly beautiful like this it made her head spin. The sneer on his face made her toes curl knowing she was the one who had put it there.
His voice was murderous as he murmured, āGive me back my tail.ā
Her grip on the thing tightened as it tried to lash out of her grip. His tone only stoked the fire burning in her gut, the heat fighting the chill of the room.
She felt the giddiness bubble up in her again, the same feeling of fear mixed with excitement that she got when she taunted him at school. The feeling of taking a dare.
āFuck me like you were told princeling and perhaps I will,ā she referred to him by the same mocking title his late siblings would call him by, all of them being more than a hundred years his senior and already have established roles in the kingdom, while he was hardly 19 and had still been in school with no real power. She was deliberately placing him beneath her by calling herself a queen and him only a boy prince, despite him being two years her senior. She felt the smugness tugging her lips when she heard his breath come out ragged and slow. He was going to great lengths to keep his temper in check, still not wanting to let her win. But Jude could taste her victory, her toes curled and her gut tingled with sharp electricity boiling there. An almost hysterical laugh bubbled up her throat, knowing that her next words would send him over the edge.
āOr perhaps you donāt know how to please a woman, hmmm?? Were all those ballads about you being a good lover just pixie dust in the breeze? Maybe the musicians of the court were just flattering you so that the fine people of fairy would think that you were actually good for something.ā
It was an obvious lie and they both knew it, Cardan has had her screaming his name, soaking the sheets, and has made her a blubbering mess, nothing more than putty in his arms, much to her own shame. But the lie was an insult to his manhood nonetheless. He would have to fuck her senseless now, his honor and pride would demand it.
His grip on her hair tightened as the room rapidly started to heat back up, getting hotter by the second. Cardan was pissed now. He used his free hand to trace the curves of her body following his hand with his deadly stare. He took in every inch of her, from the blush on her cheeks that burned so bright it went straight down her neck and chest and spotted across her full breasts which were heavy and aching from her arousal. He took in Judeās toned stomach and muscular thighs appraising them as though they were one of the powders he frequently took as though he hadn't had a dose in far too long and was itching for it. There was a furious hunger in that gaze. The stare of a recovering alcoholic glaring at the bottle before he dived to the bottom of it. Furious for even wanting it, furious for going back to it, furious for having said no to it for so long when it felt so right. He was going to give into Jude even if she didnāt beg him for it. He was pissed about it.
His tracing hand slowly inched towards the numb of nerves between Judeās thighs, her hair tugged back on his shoulder allowed him to hear the airy sigh that befell her lips, tickling his hair. Her airy moan sounded like one someone would heave when they stepped into a steaming bath after a long day of hard work, easing their aching muscles. That wouldn't do at all. There would be no easing for her. If she wanted to step in that tub then Cardan was going to shove her in and force her head under the water and keep it there till she was thrashing for air. If she wouldn't beg him to start, then she would have to beg him to stop.
Cardan leaned in and whispered to her ear, using all of his willpower to keep his temper in check, āFitting for a Queen you said hmm,ā the words sent shivers running down her spine, had her walls clenching around his cock that was still buried in her, to her great dismay still not in motion.
Cardan paused to take a breath and for a moment the whole room stilled as though his magic had quieted the very air around them, as if the whole kingdom was tingling in anticipation, silently waiting to see what happened next. Even the roaring fire that was crackling in its hearth just seconds prior didnāt dare to make a sound, lest it invokes the wrath of the wicked king. The only noise was Judeās ragged breathing in eerie contrast.
Cardanās words eased out in his exhale, resembling the sickening woop in the stomach one gets when falling from large heights, āHow's this for fitting?ā
Judeās eyes were blown wide and then forced tightly shut as he unleashed himself onto her. The sounds of the room roaring back to life around them were completely lost to her as the brutally aching bliss filled her to the brim. The sensations were overpowering her, overwhelming her senses after being denied it for so long. The feeling of his length filling her to the brim combined with his sinful hands, one tugging her hair the other rubbing her nub; It was too much. Cardanās hand was brutal in its attack on her clit, rubbing her relentlessly right where she wanted it, just the way she liked it.
The act alone was more than enough and already toying her towards the edge of release. Cardan knew Judeās body far too well. He had spent plenty of time tracking all her tells, tracking every breath she took while she lay beneath him from the first moment she welcomed him into her bed. His dark hungry eyes always locked on her taking everything in. Cardan was a fantastic lover not just because he knew how to please any woman who passed his way, but because he went to lengths to perfect his craft for those who stayed.
Jude realized with no little shame that he had been saying something to her but she had missed it because of the roaring in her ear. Her cheeks went impossibly pinker when she realized it hadn't been roaring, but her own moaning. She hadn't even realized she was doing it so overcome by her arousal after being denied all night. She glanced up at him and all she could stupidly say was, āhuh?ā
He barked a laugh, his head thrown back; he loved making her like this. Knocking Ms. Know-it-all off her pedestal, making her dumb-founded and drooling. Such a sharp contrast to her usual stoic demeanor. He leaned down close to her face, slowly licked up the dribble of spit hanging from the corner of her mouth. Then with a wicked smirk on his sinful face, one that promised nothing but trouble, he went to her ear and snickered, āyouāre as soaked for me as you were when I shoved you into that river mortal.ā
As he said it he rubbed her just so, sending her shuddering relentlessly into an orgasm around his unmoving cock. The orgasm shattered her mind and made her see white, then instantly red from the fury his word sent her into. She hated that he made her come while he said that. Knew he had done it on purpose to piss her off. Knew it was the damning truth since no lie could fall from his fairy lips. Bliss, anger, and shame all swelled within her swirling together and muddling her mind in ways fairy fruit never could. Jude felt as though she might fade into the very magic of fairyland at that moment for surely if one could be magic itself, this would be how they always felt.
Jude couldnāt even get a word in back at him for what he said because he slammed his mouth against hers before she could recover enough to form a coherent sentence; licking and drinking up her moans like it was his only purpose in life. His other hand moved from restraining her hair and wrapped around her middle, pinning the arm holding his tail to her side in an ironclad hold and pinning her body against chest; his hand reaching up to attack her breasts. Switching back and forth between one and the other, he would alternate massaging and pinching her nipples with painful precision. His other hand was still working her clit sending her rolling from one orgasm into the next. The combination of it all was so overwhelming she cried out into his mouth as she squirted all over his hands, soaking their legs and the sheets beneath them. Jude was awash with shame and bliss, leaning her full weight on him to remain upright. He hadnāt even begun to fuck her properly yet, Cardan was still buried within her throbbing painfully from denying himself and she was already a stupid mess in his arms. The shit-eating smirk on his face told her that he was thinking the same thing.
Jude was a fool for try to best Cardan here. She may be a cunning spy and a swords master but the bedroom and lovemaking was his domain. Her legs quivered beneath her, hands limp at her side. Cardan released his hold on her, sending her falling ungracefully forward onto her chest and face. He laughed at her mockingly, āand now the sheets are nearly as soaked as your clothes were that day.ā
Judeās blood boiled and she wanted to turn around and slap him. But as she went to move she found herself unable to. While she hadnāt been looking, brain hazy from her orgasms, the roots from the tree atop the hill had curled their way down the bedposts and snaked their way across the sheets wrapping around her wrists binding her in place. Another display of his kingly magic. Jude tried to figure where she went wrong, one moment she was the one with power and now here she was again, completely at his mercy and more so than before. The answer to her question flicked back and forth in the periphery of her vision, his tail moving again like a lazy cat playing a game it knew it was going to win. He had made her come so hard she completely lost her senses and touched the stars and managed to release her one and only advantage.
āThank you for returning my tail to me sweet Jude,ā he said, noting her coming to this realization. His hand returned to her hair pulling her head back as much as he could while her hands were bound. He shifted, leaning forward shifting his body causing his cock to finally move within her once more; it was enough to make her lose a breathy moan. Oh! The frustration she felt with herself! She was a fool for him and it was humiliating. His other hand went back to massaging her bruised bum as he chuckled darkly behind her.
āShall we continue?ā he asked in a voice of innocence that certainly seemed akin to lying with how far innocence was from his intentions. Jude was still miserably horny, and not even the two earth-shattering orgasms he had given her were able to satiate her need after all the torture he had put her through earlier. She craved him desperately but her wounded pride couldn't bear to ask him to go on. She tried to shift her bum against his length again, the same attempts she had earlier, knowing it was just as futile now as it had been before. He laughed at her, slamming his palm hard against her ass just as he had done each time before.
āExcuse me, your majesty,ā he purred, mocking her for calling herself a queen while pumping into her once, twice. Teasing her, making her nails dig into the bound palms of her hands in ecstasy, āI believe I asked you a question, my queen.ā
Another endearment. Him calling her his. His queen. She squirmed again, willing him to please her but he held fast.
āLast chance Jude,ā he murmured in her ear, leaning all the way forward so his cocked filled her completely, āBeg for mercy and Iāll give it to you,ā the smirk was as present as ever in his infuriatingly sexy voice.
Jude had underestimated Cardan. She got her prize, she had won the battle, but he was going to win the war. With that miserable thought in mind and her pride boiling with anger she spat out her response, āfuck you.ā
Cardanās chuckle was dark and dangerous as he said, āwith pleasure.ā
He slammed into her unrelenting: brutal and hard. Jude was going to have to skip training tomorrow because of this, her body would be too sore. She hated missing training and it made her furious at him. Perhaps she just liked being made at him, she thought as he hit her spot over and over again making her see spots. She went to bury her moans and cries in the covers, still damp beneath them from when she squirted, but he pulled her hair back forcing her to cry out into the room for him to hear.
āMoan for me Queen Jude,ā he gruffed out viciously, riled up and ravenous after having to wait so long himself to have her, ālet me hear how worthy this fucking is of you hmm.. this is what you wanted wasn't it? A good fucking? It's what you came here for.ā
He was relentless, Jude was biting her lip trying hard to not give him what he wanted. The wet sloppy sound of their bodies joining together echoed in the room in time with the slapping of his pelvis against her ass. It was debauched to hear how sinfully wet she was for him, the wet slapping making it painfully evident just how āworthyā his fucking was. She groaned through her teeth and he yanked her hair hard forcing her mouth open. Her moans came spilling out, pitching each time he thrust his body into hers.
Cardan was groaning with her now. He was getting close if his sporadic thrusts were any indicator. The knowledge that he was getting off to her made her walls clench around him and her toes curl in pleasure, forcing a groan from deep in his throat to spill out. It was otherworldly, doing this with him, so many emotions, sensations, and feelings all swirling together in a messy lustful haze that left them rutting like savage dogs by the end of the night. They hated each other, didn't they? How could they keep coming back to each other like this? Why did this feel so right?
He pulled her hair back hard making her back bend almost painfully towards him, her wrists straining against the vines that bound her; training was definitely out of the question this week. She could see his face now, brows pinched, eyes dark, sweat dripping off of him while his mouth hung open. He was devastatingly gorgeous like this. He leaned down and kissed her as he landed three sharp blows to her ass with his other hand as he pounded into her relentlessly. She squirted again seeing stars as another orgasm ran through her. He smiled a brilliant smile down at her for it. So beautiful that she all but forgot her pride existed as she said breathily, āI didnāt come here just to fuck you Cardan, I swear it,ā blush burning her cheeks at her confession, āI wanted to make you happy.ā
She felt emotions shining on her face, ones she always buried but she didnāt mind it. Jude was mad with pleasure, drunk on his kiss, his scent, and sensations. Jude was drunk on him. Caution was lost to her.
Cardanās eyes went wide at her words and he released her hair suddenly. A swear was a serious thing in Fairy especially one made to the high king. The vines receded from restraining her and he unsheathed himself from her aching core. She was met with a jolt of horror at what she had done, what she had said, in fear that she had upset him.
The panic was quickly replaced by confusion as he rolled her onto her back with tender hands and then leaned above her positioning himself between her legs with one arm bracing beside her head while his other hand came up to tenderly caressing her cheek. His cock was positioned right before her entrance, leaking with precum. He clearly had stopped right before his climax. What on earth compelled him to do such a thing?
āIs that the truth?ā he said in a breathy whisper, chest still heaving from their wild fuckings, still trying to catch his breath.
All Jude could manage was a small nod.
His eyes searched hers, looking for something. Jude didnāt know if he found what he was looking for but after a moment he slowly slid into her again staring into her eyes. She wanted to look away, his gaze was too much as he slowly and sweetly slid their bodies together, again and again. He was being tender with not a rush in the world. A different kind of fire started building within her. Instead of a burning inferno like earlier, this one was the slow-burning of water set to boil. His dark gaze was searching, consuming. His beautiful face slack in awe as he looked at her.
āBeautiful,ā he murmured like wonder spilling out of him. Jude snapped her eyes shut to it, to what she felt. She felt naked for the first time today despite having been freed of her clothing for the better part of two hours now. The way he was holding her, the way their bodies slid together, it terrified her, the emotions it stirred up. He cooed at her then, fingers caressing her cheek, āJude,ā he said sweetly, ālook at me Jude, it's okay.ā
She scrunched her eyes shut further at his words. He stilled, pulling away from her. He heaved a sigh, that sounded so much like hurt and disappointment. Quickly, shyly her hand reached out to the ringed one on her cheek just as it went to pull away. Softly Jude said, āPlease-- Please donāt stop.ā
Jude mustered all the courage she had, reached into the well of fearlessness she had obtained from living in fairyland, and opened her eyes. Dark pools the color of midnight stared back at her, full of swimming emotion. It was overwhelming, confusing. She wished she knew what he was thinking, wished she knew if this meant something. There was so much fear in her and she knew he could see it all on her face. She was so scared of this, āPlease Cardan, keep going. Please. I-- I beg you.ā
The smile that graced his shocked face was beautiful and hesitant like the one someone might make if they thought something was too good to be true. She shocked herself with the plea, she had never thought she could long for someone the way that she did at that moment. She wished she knew what he was thinking. She peeked to his tail in hope of gaining some insight, but it was wrapped around her calf, the furred tip seemed to be caressing her. She looked back up at him. Cardan was smirking, but it wasn't mocking, it seemed⦠endearing almost. But that couldnāt be. He clearly knew why Jude looked at his tail, knowing she liked keeping an eye on it because it made him easier to read. The crinkles beneath his eyes gave away happiness and his smirk tugged into a dazzling smile.
Judeās heart was pounding so hard it almost hurt. He ran his hand down from her cheek to her chest, feeling how fast it was pounding. His smile only grew, as he leaned down and nuzzled his nose against hers. Jude let loose a breath she didn't know she had been holding, it came spilling out of her like an airy laugh, her lashes fluttering at his closeness. He was being so sweet, it threw her off guard. She peeked into his eyes once more, she didn't really know what she was looking for in them. But she knew what she did not find there: his arrogance, his cruelty, and his wickedness.
There in his dark eyes, she saw something she didn't understand yet. Saw something shining there that she knew reflected back in her own. Confusion mingled with an emotion she had never known before. She realized she didn't understand a lot of things, about life, fairyland, and him. From the look in his eyes, she realized she didn't need to understand everything. And with that realization, she wasn't afraid anymore. She peered into his eyes unabashedly now, Belkinās words from in the Isle of the Forgotten rang in her head:
āto mortals, the feeling of falling in love is similar to the feeling of fear.ā
But what do mortals feel when they stop falling. What happens when they were wholly in love.
Jude didnāt know, and she didnāt care to know. She didnāt need to understand everything, she didnāt need to understand what she felt. She needed to just feel it.
If nothing else, Jude felt safe here in Cardanās arms. A feeling that she had long grown unaccustomed to thanks to the cruelty of her life. She looked at the man before her, so similar to yet so strikingly different from the boy he was under Belkinās thumb. This was a man who she wanted to make happy. And despite his uncanny ability to frustrate her, he had the uncanny ability to make her happy as well. He made her forget her pride and she made him forget his own. Neither caring who came out on top anymore. Maybe it was just the sex, maybe it was something more. She didnāt know and somehow that was fine.
With those thoughts singing in her head, Jude Duerte leaned up and kissed Cardan Greenbriar soft and slow, allowing all the things she kept buried within her to come pouring out. Allowing all the things she didnāt understand to pour out with it because perhaps Cardan didnāt understand it either. Perhaps they could learn to understand it together.
So that night, Jude waved the white flag and she made love to the King of Fairy.
The demon lord has conquered the land, and five heroes have been summoned to depose him. The heroes journey towards the demon lordāto discover that heās built a thriving economy, public healthcare, and the land is more prosperous than it has ever been.
It was a clerk outside the capital that explained it to them. They had decided to capture her because her tiny horns bespoke a touch of infernal blood, so she had to be carrying something important, right? Turned out to be crop records of all things. She had been absolutely indignant when one of the heroes had tossed a ledger aside, snatching it up and brushing dirt from the pages.Ā āIdiots! Crop records are important! They show weather patterns, predict tax income, give figures for where and what relief is needed when things change for the worse. Thatās the problem with you muscle bound types, you donāt understand how things -work-.ā
Mirae tried to smile, the young woman was pretty if you ignored the horns and golden eyes. āWell, why donāt you explain it to us? Why does a demon lord care about disaster relief and taxes?ā
The clerk gave Mirae a skeptical look, then looked at the drawn swords of two of the other heroes and turned back to Mirae as the best of a bad lot. āBecause Hell runs on the souls of the damned, and people can only be damned if they choose to be evil.ā
Mirae frowned, āBut if people are hungry, theyāll steal to feed their families.āĀ
The clerk nodded, āBut thatās desperation, itās not evil.ā
Mirae frowned more in frustration, āHe should be making it illegal to go to temples, or ban healers to force people to break the law.ā
The clerk sighed, āOnce again, desperation, not evil. Turning to prostitution to feed your kids isnāt evil. Lying to avoid execution isnāt evil. Working holy-days, eating forbidden food, breaking laws to save lives Is. Not. Evil. Evil has to be a choice. An uncoerced choice to do unnecessary harm. Oh sure, under the old system we got the souls of a few nobles who enjoyed being at the top and hurting people. But NOW?ā
The clerk grins, and the grin seemed to have a few too many teeth. āNow people have a CHOICE. They choose to torment their neighbors, or to steal from taxes that would feed the poor, or to attack those who are weaker. Not out of hunger or desperation but out of their own prideā¦
āBefore we fed on a few nobles a year⦠now we get plenty of ordinary people as well.
hey! i really like your work :) could you write about a spy hired to kill the antagonist, then being caught and beaten up but realizing the (flirty) antagonist isnāt a bad person, his employers are (donāt know if that makes sense haha)
āTch.ā The antagonist tutted, crouching down in front of the spy.Ā āI told them not to touch your pretty face. Theyāll suffer for that.āĀ
The antagonist traced the spyās split lip with their thumb, and the spy was tempted to bite, just for the audacity. But they didnāt get this far without learning when to pick their battles. Any reprieve to catch their breath, to steel themselves, to not be in pain would only make them stronger.
āI can handle the face,ā the spy said.Ā āIād have preferred they kept away from my internal organs.ā
The antagonist hummed, gaze dropping down. They hooked their hand around the hem of the spyās shirt, lifting it to assess the damage.Ā āYouāll live. No internal damage, just a few broken ribs.ā
āYou a doctor?āĀ
āAs if you donāt know.ā The antagonist gave them a half amused, half chiding look.Ā āYou know all my secrets, donāt you, gorgeous? Your employers wouldnāt have ordered you kill me if they didnāt think youād got everything of value from me alive.ā
The protagonist did know. The antagonist had indeed been a doctor for many years, before they vanished into the ether and became the creature in front of them now.
āSo, donāt worry.ā The antagonist dropped their shirt.Ā āIāve never killed anyone by accident.ā
The protagonist knew that too. Maybe, if they didnāt know that, didnāt know as much as they did, the job would have been successful. But, instead, they hesitated. They were a spy, their job was focused on gathering intelligence, making sure the right people on their side had the right information at the right time. It was rare to get a kill order. There were assassins better suited to that line of work.Ā
But the antagonist was a rare creature, difficult to get close to, and there had been a shot. A shot that the spy had blown. Because they were dumb enough to thinkā¦
āTell me.ā The antagonist stayed crouched in front of them, voice low, as if this was an intimate conversation just between the two of them and there werenāt a dozen armed guards outside the door.Ā āWhy did you hesitate?ā
The spy said nothing. They kept their expression blank on instinct.Ā
The guards who had interrogated them had plenty of questions - who are you working for, how did you get in, what have you told your people, who are you - but the question of why they had hesitated hadnāt come up. It had been the smallest of seconds, just long enough for the antagonistās sharp gaze to cut to them in the rafters and for everything to go to hell. The spyās own people wouldnāt have guessed at hesitation.Ā
The antagonist smiled, crooked at one corner, at the response.āOh, come on. You could have killed me. Iāve looked up your files - youāre very good. More than capable of making the shot. Excellent scores on all your tests. No need to be stoic, Iām very impressed. Any schmuck can cause pain, but youā¦āĀ
āMaybe Iām just good at tests.ā
āThey wouldnāt have sent you after me if that were true.āĀ
The spy said nothing, because there was nothing they could say. The antagonist was absolutely correct.
The antagonist sighed, getting up and going to the metal table in the corner.Ā
The spy tensed, expecting them to return with a knife or something else equally unpleasant. The antagonist returned with a damp warm cloth that they used to start dabbing the spyās face clean of blood.Ā
It was probably a trick. A different ploy to pain, one that the spy would really have to be an amateur to fall for. Still.Ā
āYouāre right,ā the spy said, softly.Ā āI know all your secrets. Of course I couldnāt kill you.ā
The antagonist paused, their stare piercing deep into the spyās soul. The spy held the attention calmly despite their pounding heart. The antagonistās hand started moving after barely a falter, meticulous and gentle in its care. The warm cloth, combined with the cool fingers, felt delightful against the spyās aching skull.Ā
The spy pushed the feeling away.Ā
āLet me go,ā the spy pressed, leaning in, the words barely above a breath.Ā āYou donāt want me dead, but you know what theyāll do to me. My face will be the least of our worries.ā
What the spy had learned was that the antagonist had been a doctor, a brilliant surgeon, and then one day they vanished. Taken by their new employers. Trained up, polished into something wicked vicious. The pieces had been there before, no doubt, the unflinching ability to look at suffering and cut through bone and muscle if needed. But the antagonist wasnāt a bad person. Possibly lacking any capacity for remorse or guilt, but not bad. They didnāt enjoy causing hurt. They werenāt especially out to screw anyone over.Ā
The antagonist was a figurehead. A shiny symbol of what their employerās wanted. It could be easier or harder to be a symbol, but regardless one didnāt get much choice in the matter.Ā
āYou know I canāt do that. My boss isnāt done with you yet. They want all those not-about-me secrets you have floating about in that clever little brain of yours. Besides.ā The antagonist shrugged.Ā āEven if I untied you, you wouldnāt get very far. Theyād just drag you back and thereās a line after whichĀ āroughed upā will no longer be a good look on you, gorgeous. Youāre fine.ā The antagonist had such a terrible knowing in their voice, at odds with that shrug as if none of it mattered. āYou wonāt be fine if you try to run.ā
āI might not get caught. Iām very good. Your words.ā They wet their lips, feeling the sting.Ā āYou could come with me. Then they really wouldnāt be able to stop us, would they? I bet weād make a great team.ā
The antagonist laughed, but it wasnāt quite so amused anymore. More sad.āYou have all the information but I can see why youāre not in the division for applying the pieces of that.ā They dropped the cloth, carelessly, now that all of the obvious signs of breakage were gone from the spyās face.Ā āYou know all my secrets, lovely.ā The antagonist raised a brow, back to flirty, voice a purr as if secrets were not a deadly thing.Ā āWhy would I ever let you go?āĀ
They rose to their feet, entire posture changing into something sleek and dangerous, the reputation to bring down nations, as they buzzed the intercom - promptly rattling off a diagnosis of exactly what their guards could and should do to make the spy break, every weak point they had identified in the āexaminationā, and exactly what not to do unless they wanted to lose limbs. And, when all was doneā¦
The antagonist glanced over them, one hand still holding down the com.Ā āOnce youāve got whatās needed, sedate our gorgeous new guest and bring them to my quarters. Iāll take care of them from there, if you know what I mean.ā
There was laughter from outside the room. Ugly, jeering.Ā
There was none of it in the antagonistās eyes, even as they tossed the spy a wink and marched out.Ā
The protagonist gained consciousness on a bed. A very soft, luxurious bed that felt like heaven - until common sense kicked in at any rate. Common sense hurt almost as much as the protagonistās ribs.Ā
āEasy there, gorgeous.ā The antagonistās voice drifted from across the suite, followed by the sound ofā¦a record player. Was that a record player?Ā
The protagonist squinted against the bright light, struggling to adjust, before the rest of the room came into focus. It was better described as a suite, dominated by the large bed that the protagonist was laying on. Nope. Restrained to. They were restrained to the bed, how joyous!
āRelax,ā the antagonist said.Ā āIām not going to do anything to you. Youāre on the bed because you need to rest and recover from your wounds, and beds are typically more conducive to rest than a chair.ā
āAnd Iām tied to your bed because?ā
āBecause youāre an international highly trained spy and I donāt trust you?ā The antagonist appeared by the bedās left side, eyebrow raised.Ā
That may have been a fair point. Still.Ā
āThat doesnāt answer the question of why Iām tied to your bed in particular,ā the protagonist said.Ā āI could have rested somewhere other than your quarters. There must be more suitable places for prisoners you do not trust.ā
The guards had continued to interrogate the spy with all of the antagonistās advice, and when staying conscious enough to answer questions was no longer so viable an option, theyād dumped the protagonist in the antagonistās quarters as requested. No doubt thinking that the antagonist had some cruel amusement planned. Fast forward, click play, and there they were.
āNo,ā the antagonist mused.Ā āI suppose it doesnāt.ā They skated their fingertips idly up along the protagonistās abs.Ā āHow are you feeling?ā
āYou know how Iām feeling. You told them what to do.ā
The protagonist was hurt in just enough ways for the pain to be maximised, and the lasting damaged minimised. Much easier to keep someone alive that way. Much easier to keep asking them questions. Part of the protagonist was still stupidly grateful that all of their current injuries would heal with time - theyād heard of other operatives who were not so lucky.Ā
āI can make guesses,ā the doctor said,Ā ābased on my understanding of the human body. But we are all individuals. You seem to be coherent enough to carry on a conversation, I suppose, but then weāre back to the fact that youāre a trained spy. Your pain tolerance is likely higher than most peopleās. All this to say, really, do you require any medication to manage your pain?ā
āWould you give it to me if I did?ā
āDepends how much pain youāre in.ā
āYou have an unusual bedside manner. Donāt tell me you had me bought here to give me pain medication.āĀ
The antagonist considered them for a moment longer, a thoughtful expression on their face, before they sat down on the edge on the bed.Ā āYou are here,ā the antagonist said,Ā ābecause this is one of the few places on the base without security cameras or bugs to record our conversation. One of the privileges of being me.ā
āAnd your employers are cool with this?ā
āThey appreciate that our working relationship goes better when they do not give me sufficient reason to fight them. Besides, I have manufactured a reputation over the last years should I need it for cases such as these.ā
āA reputation?ā The protagonistās mind jolted back to the guardsā ugly, jeering laughter. Their eyes met the antagonistās.
The antagonist shrugged, speaking lightly. āI find when I am sufficiently cruel to those I care nothing for, I have far more lenience to offer some semblance of mercy to those I can be bothered to invest in.ā
It made a twisted, ruthlessly pragmatic sort of sense. The antagonist played the role of monster exceptionally well - indeed, they undoubtedly were one in some capacity. But not exactly the kind that the people around them looked for.Ā Get enough people to believe you are capable of the worst torments, and theyāll start expecting it so much that they no longer feel the need to observe the actual evidence so closely. Once you know something is a monster, who needs to keep trying to prove it?
āAnd you want to offer me mercy.ā
āYou offered me my life, is that so surprising?ā
The protagonistās mouth dried to hear it so simply put. They werenāt sure ifĀ āhesitationā counted as sparing someone, but maybe in their game sometimes it did. Either way, they werenāt going to spit in the face of the closest, if most warped, thing they had to an ally.
āDonāt suppose your mercy extends to helping me escape?ā
āMy mercy,ā the antagonist said.Ā āExtends to ensuring that you donāt. I did tell you that you wouldnāt get very far, didnāt I?ā
āWhy?ā the spy asked.Ā āWhat kind of security do they have?ā
The antagonist laughed softly.Ā
āNice try.ā
A weak, tired smile curved the protagonistās lip.
āNice catch.āĀ
The silence stretched between them for a moment.
āYou donāt want to be free?ā the protagonist asked, and maybe it was the pain to make them question so bluntly.Ā āYour employers make you do terrible things.ā
āIām very good at them.ā
āYouāre not a terrible person.ā
The antagonist smiled, but it didnāt reach their eyes. āHow far can you truly hope to separate terrible people from the terrible things they do?ā
āFar enough for my job to exist. Far enough that you are offering me mercy.āĀ
The antagonist laughed again. Their hand shifted up, carding soothingly through the protagonistās hair.Ā āThis isnāt altruism,ā they said.Ā āThis is making the most of someone who understands before my bosses decide youāre better off dead.āĀ
āYouāll let them kill me?ā
āPerhaps you want me to ask them if theyāll let me keep you as a pet? You are pretty.ā
āNo - I mean - thatās -ā Would that be worse than death? It would give them an opportunity to escape, perhaps, give them time.
The antagonistās grip tightened in their hair hard enough to hurt, yanking the spyās head back into an awkward angle.
The spyās gaze snapped them to them once more.
āYouāre not dragging me into your schemes, so donāt even think about it.ā The antagonist said, calm and deadly. āYouāre pretty, but not pretty enough to die for. Got it?ā
āā¦got it.ā
āAs I said, terrible person. Terrible things.ā The antagonist loosened their grip again. They patted the protagonistās cheek gently and rose to their feet once more.Ā āIāll get you some water. You should drink something, make sure you have enough fluids. Food if you can stomach it. Then, get some rest. Iām sure theyāll have lots more questions for you in the morning.ā
āDonāt think I missed you avoiding the question and distracting me with intimidation tactics,ā the spy called, after their back.Ā āThat means yes. You want to be free.ā
The antagonist turned the music up higher, pointedly, and started to hum.Ā
The spyā¦took the tiny win, the confirmation, and took the opportunity to rest. They would need everything they had to make it out of this mess.
also, can you totally do another really scary male villain (i'm talkin wouldn't want to meet him in a lit, populated area type scary) and a male hero who kinda (...?) knows how to deal with him, like has had history with the villain. if you can make it nsfw with underlying m/m tones it'd make my day~ <3
typical of me, I made the characterisation/plot/backstory whatever too long to get to any graphic nsfw content. Sorry? One day...
"Do you know,ā Angel said,Ā āthe number of times Iāve been dragged out of bed because someoneās called me up with some variety ofĀ āoh shit, itās him,ā is getting ridiculous.āĀ
The villain, Majesty, paused at the greeting. His golden stare flicked up, assessing Angel in an instant.Ā
Angel stopped a reasonable distance away, politely, hands by his sides.Ā
The villain had been called other things than Majesty, over the years, never having particularly bothered to sign his work - but Majesty was the one that had stuck. He was the king of crime after all. Currently, judging by Angelās quick assessment of the situation, Majesty seemed to be looking for some form of information.Ā
At least, that was what the sobbing quivering wreck cowering on the shop floor suggested.Ā
āA travesty.ā Majestyās voice was as smooth as silk, for now.Ā āYou need your beauty sleep.āĀ
The voice, Angel found, was one of the clearest warning shots that Majesty gave as to his mood regardless of how the actual conversation was going. It had always been that way. Smooth was good. Smooth waters were not necessarily safe by any means, but only a fool would get in the water with something already showing its teeth. Majesty showing his teeth would be Majesty picking a different voice to mimic, unnerving from the get go.Ā
Angel hummed in agreement, keeping his voice light too as he moved closer.Ā āSo it would be good to wrap this up quickly, without too much innocent blood shed, if you donāt mind. Whatās the problem?ā
Most people who went up against Majesty died by sheer virtue of the fact that they assumed they could beat him, if they were only clever or fast or strong enough. Any attempt to outright attack led to termination. Most efforts to get in his way ended similarly poorly. Traitors may as well have bought their own coffin, nothing to be done about.Ā
But, Angel had found, as much Majesty delighted in pain his larger concern was in whatever benefited him the most. If one presented him with a mutually beneficial solution, and didnāt disrespect the villain in the process, he was usually okay to listen.Ā
Or, well, at least, it seemed that he was willing to listen to Angel anyway. He hadnāt admittedly heard of it happening otherwise.
āNo problem,ā Majesty said.Ā
āThe poor sod on the floor might disagree.āĀ
Majesty smiled, twirling his knife in one hand, before pocketing it.Ā
"You know, I had noticed that theyāre getting in the habit of throwing you at me like an appeasing sacrifice whenever they think I might do something. Finding some-ā his voice shifted for a second to be exactly like Angelās -Ā āpoor sodĀ to scream was only too easy. Who needs a telephone?ā
Angel stopped dead in surprise. His mouth dried.Ā
āYou...this is because you wanted me to see me?ā
Majestyās voice as back to silk, almost a purr.Ā
āTheyāre practically conditioning me to violence.ā
āWhy did you want me to see me?ā
The area around them was silent, empty. Anyone could flee had already done so. There was security, of course, snipers and swat teams and the usual, but they all hovered and circled without getting too close to Majestyās range of attack. And, well, Angel had never been more than aware of the fact that meant he was alone with the villain.Ā
Majesty leaned back against the counter, the glass broken, though the diamonds in the case were largely untouched. His head tilted to one side.Ā
āIām curious,ā he said.Ā āDo they know our history?ā
Angelās heart slammed, his gaze flicking to the cowering stranger, but he simply shook his head.Ā āStrangely, I donāt advertise the fact that your my...ex, for want of a better word.ā
Heād known Majesty in the early days, when he was simply Thane, and before Angel was Angel. It hadnāt exactly been a relationship in the domestic, committed sense so much as series of one night stands that didnāt stop at anywhere near one night. Closer to a few times a month for close to three years. Sometimes their meet ups would be quick, other times whole nights and a day. One memorable time there had been a long weekend getaway. But they had never got involved with each otherās lives - their dynamic not so much as a secret, as simply casual. Theyād both been busy trying to get other things to work.Ā
It didnāt even end badly or anything, all of the other things had simply ended up taking more and more of both of their time. Until other things suddenly meant they had something that could be called a professional working relationship.
āWhy?ā Angel pressed, when Majesty said nothing.Ā āHas someone said something?āĀ
āDo you want them to?ā Majesty asked.Ā āBecause I have heard your reputation doing rather well from all of this, now you mention it. The man who can leash Majesty.ā
Angelās mouth was definitely dry now. Sandpaper would have felt less harsh.Ā
āI donāt think, uh. I donāt think anyoneās saying that. You donāt really give off a particularly subby vibe.ā Angel took a step closer, though it was a gamble, and a raised a brow.Ā āCertainly not to me. Didnāt I just essentially come running when you called? Pretty sure thatās whatās obvious to anyone else too after this little show.ā
Majesty tracked his every movement like he was ready to pounce.Ā
Angel stopped in arms reach, tipping his head to match Majestyās posture.Ā
āAnd if they were saying that,ā Angel said,Ā āI didnāt imagine you would be the sort to care.ā
āReputation is not everything in our world, but it certainly helps.ā
Majestyās voice was soft, dangerously so.
Angel could practically feel how wobbly the precipice of safety was beneath him, less a crumbling cliff face, and more a very thin veil. An illusion. That had never been the case when they were together, given the circumstances had been entirely different, but heād learned to scope where the lines were.Ā
No, Majesty didnāt care what people thought of him in the strictest sense, but he did care about power. People forgetting that led to the whole inconvenient drama of having to put them back in their place again, didnāt it? And who had time for that when there were more interesting things to be getting on.
āAnd would you rather have to deal with some dumb idiot who isnāt me when youāre freaking out the local populace?ā
It seemed to be the right comment to make, because Majesty snorted. He straightened from where he leant.Ā āNo. At least youāre pretty to look at when youāre being aggravating.ā
āSo long as I get sufficient beauty sleep.ā
There was something on Majestyās face, a look that Angel hadnāt seen in quite some time. Not really since everyone began to refer to Majesty as him in a whisper, like they might summon the devil if they spoke too loudly.Ā
Hunger. Want. Lust.
Ah.Ā
āBeen a while, has it?ā Angel managed.Ā āYou have been busy causing chaos.ā He wet his lips.Ā āPerhaps itās time for a break, then.ā
Majesty stepped closer, tracing his fingertips up the line of Angelās throat, studying him.Ā āYouād like that, wouldnāt you?ā
āOn many levels.ā It came out quiet, a murmur. It was true. It shouldnāt have been true, given that heād promised himself that Majesty was an old habit he needed to very much break the second work got involved.Ā āWe had a lot of fun.āĀ
Majestyās fingers stopped beneath Angelās chin, tilting it up.Ā
āIt will not be a card you can use,ā Majesty warned,Ā āin our negotiations. If you try...ā
āIām not going to try.ā Angel glared at him.Ā āScrew you. You will never be able to buy me. So if thatās-ā
Majesty grip tightened, before Angel could pull back.Ā
āGood. Weāre on the same page then.āĀ
Angelās glare softened. His heart pounded all the more wildly in his chest.Ā
This wasnāt how heād expected his night to go, but...
Even despite everything that had changed for them, the old memories and instincts always buzzed beneath the surface. No one else had ever got him in that way quite like Majesty did. In that, if nothing else, theyād been a perfect fit.
āYou going to let them go unharmed?ā Angel asked.Ā āSeeing as this wasnāt entirely about work.ā
āThis is work,ā Majesty replied.Ā āOtherwise Iād already have you pinned to that counter, writhing in that maddeningly tight outfit you insist on wearing, Azra.ā
It had been a while since Azra had heard his real name, and not his alias, certainly on those lips. A shiver ran down his spine. He held his ground though, because, well, this was work.Ā
āThen as far as work goes, you going to let them go?ā Angel inclined his head at the hostage.Ā āTheyāve served their purpose, and theyāre not going to talk to anyone about this. If they were, you wouldnāt be holding back.ā
Majesty waved a hand at the civilian to scatter.Ā
The usual place. Majestyās voice sounded in his head that time. One hour. Donāt be late.
It only occurred to Angel, later, that heād never asked exactly why Majesty was apparently willing to play ball with him. At least, a little.Ā

āRun that by me again,ā Harry said as he laid on Malfoyās floor; the ceiling had been bewitched to look like constellations and he was mesmerized. āYouāre saying Ron can just walk in? No invite? No date? Nothing?ā
āLongbottom too,ā Malfoy said distractedly as the sound of rustling parchment could be heard. Harry wasnāt sure what it was, but heād been invested in them for an hour.
āThatās bullshit.ā
āThatās a pureblood for you.ā
āSounds unfair.ā
āSounds like youāre jealous.ā
Harry scoffed. Talking to Malfoy was always a headache.
āHow do we get Seamus in?ā
When Malfoy didnāt answer, Harry tilted his head back the best he could. His view was upside down, but he could tell that Malfoy was still looking over the paperwork.
āWhat are you doing?ā
āNone of your business.ā
āIf you frown like that anymore, youāll get wrinkles.ā
Malfoyās brows furrowed as he peered over the parchment. āIām not frowning.ā
āYou were.ā
āI think youāre lying.ā
āAh,ā Harry said slowly and sagely. āBut you arenāt sure.ā
āWhy must you always annoy me?ā
āI thought that was your role.ā
āPotter.ā
āMalfoy.ā
āDo me a favour and kindly shut the fuck up.ā
Harry huffed before he looked back up to the ceiling. āWhy did you tell me to come over if you were just going to be ignoring me?ā
I tried to find one that wasnāt also fake relationship, but all the ones I have bookmarked for bed sharing are also fake relationships.Ā But what better way to get stuck in a bed with someone youāre not supposed to be sleeping with, amirite?
Roll With It bysaltnhalo
Summary: For two years, Deanās been slaving away beneath his boss ā many label him a secretary, but he fucking hates that and feels like it only applies to someone wearing a pencil skirt, so he insists on his title of Executive Assistant. And for what? In the vain hope that one day heāll manage to become an editor for Sandover Publishing, and that heāll see the manuscript that heās slaved over since college finally realized in print.
Thatās the dream, anyway
.Right now, heās fucking late.
Dean wants to be an editor. Castiel just wants to stay in the country.
āThe Proposalā ā as youāve never seen it before.
Review: yāall⦠I loooooooove The Proposal. So. Much.Ā And this is such a fantastic AU built on its premise.Ā Castiel is such a grumpy bitch, and honestly I donāt know how Dean put up with him for so long before he got to see behind the mask, but I love Grumpy Bitch Cas, so this fic really does it for me lol
(Send me a trope and Iāll give you a fic rec and review)

Thereās a jolt, sharp but brief. Castiel considers whether or not he can sleep through the disruption - thereās still another couple hours before itās his turn at the helm - but then thereās another jolt that briefly knocks out the lights and artificial gravity and nope, heās not getting that extra two hours.Ā
With a groan, he forces himself out of his bunk and pulls on the nearest clothes he can find.Ā
The ship is suspiciously quiet as he makes his way to the cockpit. No more turbulence, no systems flicking off before coming back on. The Impala is an older model ship, so itās entirely possible that she was just being temperamental, but Castiel also knows damn well the only other member of the crew has a tendency to, in his own words,Ā ādick aroundā when he gets bored.
āWe better not be in an asteroid belt,ā Castiel grumbles as soon as the door to the cockpit slides open. Dean looks over his chair with an impish grin, and Castiel knows thatās exactly where they are.Ā āFuck me.ā
āOnly if youāre good,ā Dean teases, though thereās the slightest blush on his cheeks. No matter how many hints Castiel drops, Dean will flirt back but heās all talk and no follow through. Usually Castiel thinks thatās Deanās main fault, but then he swerves the ship to avoid a large asteroid and Castiel remembers that thisĀ is definitely worse.Ā
āI hate you,ā he says, rubbing the last of sleep out of his eyes.Ā
āTake a seat, I could use some help.ā Dean blindly reaches out to the other chair to clear it of the clutter its collected over the course of Deanās shift. A sweatshirt, an empty coffee mug, the trash from at least four breakfast bars, and what appears to be a copy of Busty Asian Beauties are among the paraphernalia that tumble to the ground. It makes Castiel hesitate before taking the seat, wondering just what else Dean was doing while Castiel was asleep.Ā
āYou shouldnāt need my help,ā Castiel points out.Ā āThis is a routine shipment run on a path weāve flown a dozen times. The asteroids are your own fault.ā
āSo sue me, I got bored. Like you said, itās routine. Routine is boring.ā
āThen perhaps you should reconsider your career.ā
āNah,ā Dean says with a dismissive wave of his hand.Ā āThe moneyās too good. Besides, I finally have a decent co-pilot to help me avoid the boredom part.ā
āYou mean indulging your childish impulses.ā
āTomato, tomato.ā
Castiel wants to continue quipping at his partner, but he doesnāt want to distract either of them more than necessary. Instead he pulls up the navigation display to help coordinate a path through the maze Deanās gotten them into.Ā
Admittedly, it isĀ fun, an adrenaline rush and a proof of skill that thrills Castiel on some primal level. Not that heāll admit any of it out loud, but based on the wide grin on Deanās face, he at least suspects as much.Ā
āYou owe me,ā Castiel says when theyāre safely through. He flicks on the autopilot for now.Ā āYour terrible driving woke me up early.ā
āIām sure I could figure out some ways to make it up to you,ā he shoots back with a wink. The blush is back, Deanās usual swagger disrupted by his nerves, and itād be adorable if it werenāt frustrating.Ā
As always, Castiel wonders if nowās the moment to push. To put all his cards on the table and actually proposition Dean. But no, the timingās not right. Somehow, he knows Dean isnāt quite ready yet, so instead he says,Ā āMake me breakfast while I takeover and weāll call it even.ā
Dean blinks and then laughs, slapping Castiel on the shoulder as he gets up.Ā āSure thing, buddy. Pancakes with whipped cream, yeah?ā
This is a BEAUTIFUL idea. Derek being all soft and sweet and making lesson plans and taking his kindergarteners on trips to the zoo, and dark Stiles finding it all so endearing despite himself, because heās not supposedĀ to like cute, ok? Cute and he do not mix.
Except they do because every time Derek earnestly asks him out on another nauseatingly perfect date, he canāt help saying yes, even if it gets in the way of this other⦠activities. And when Derek cups his cheeks and shyly asks if he can kiss him Stiles knows heās in trouble, knows that flutter in his heart is a big bright warning sign - last exit before you get in too deep - but heās already nodding and Derekās kissing him.Ā
And maybe Stiles kisses back too rough just to push things. Maybe tries for hard and fast and dirty because thatāll probably scare the guy off and then he can get back to life as usual, this little segue into dating just a bump in his blood-crusted road. But it turns out Derek likesĀ the rough stuff, damn him, blushing and breathless and beautiful between the sheets, and who knew a sweet-faced kindergarten teacher was even allowed to be kinky and funĀ too?
And then one day Derek comes to see Stiles so miserable and frustrated because one of his kids keeps coming into school with bruises, and the school board canāt do anything and social services has looked into it and more or less shrugged it off (thereās not enough evidence of wrongdoing in the household) but Derek just knows this kid is being abused and thereās nothing he can doĀ about it.
Stiles, ever the concerned boyfriend, kisses Derek on the temple and casually requests the familyās name. Derek comes by the next week announcing that his studentās abusive mother has disappeared, leaving a full confession of her misdeeds, and that the boyās going to live with his beloved aunt instead.Ā
And Stiles, something warm and pleased curling inside him at Derekās relieved expression, just smiles.
Hi just wondering if you have any fics with alive Hale family and only a little angst? Please and thank you šššā¤ļø
Growing Up With YouĀ byĀ WhereAreTheBreaks
It all started with a strange scent in the grocery store, and now Derek canāt imagine his life without the hyperactive little shit that is Stiles Stilinski. He didnāt know why he always felt the need to be close to the boy but his momās knowing looks certainly werenāt helping.
the banana bread incidentĀ byĀ Thealmostrhetoricalquestion
āIs this a plastic spoon?ā Stiles demands in disgust. āYou do realise that thereās actual cutlery in the kitchen, right? Iām surrounded by morons who donāt know how to use a kitchen.ā
āI know how to use a kitchen,ā Derek protests lazily. āItās just that all the other spoons were dirty.ā
āThereās this revolutionary new invention,ā Stiles says, widening his eyes in mock-amazement. āItās called a sink.ā
In which there are tiny pink shorts, a kissing gate, a cat called Pumpkin and a plethora of awkward moments.
Recipe for LoveĀ byĀ HaleHole
Hereās the thing. While Stiles owns and is the head chef of his momās restaurant, heās not that great at cooking. He knows this, Scott knows this, the few loyal customers that come in on a daily basis know this.
So why the hell had he boasted to that smug, devastatingly gorgeous businessman heād stumbled into at the morning market that he could whip up some Crab Napoleon without sweating a drop?

Cat Got Your TongueĀ byĀ sysrae
Derek is having a bad day and breaks down on a strangerās doorstep.Stiles is the stranger. He really doesnāt mind.Also, thereās a cat
The dumb kid that used to follow you around (Thatās not what you were).Ā byĀ scarlettletterr
Once upon a time, Stiles Stilinski and Derek Hale were the Best Friends in the Whole Wide World, per Stilesā saying. Nowadays, Stiles is pretty sure that Derek hates him.Derek is pretty sure Stiles hates him too.
The thing is, neither of them really hate the other one.
