Hello everybody! My name is Percy, and I'm (at the time of writing this) quite new to writing on Tumblr. If you find any inconsistencies/errors in my writing please please please point them out. The last thing I want is problems in my writing.
Masterlist
Also, please keep in mind I WILL take emoji anons, so feel free to claim any.
About me:
I hate AI. I hope the bubble bursts soon :E
I love shows. Right now I'm watching JJBA, and am very much open to recommendations for other shows/movies.
I am underage! Please don't be weird, or I'll block you. End of story.
I'm trans (ftm) and Bi. Very much queer, very much in those spaces.
My rules aren't too strict (I don't think).
If my requests aren't open, please don't send them in. If you do, I'll just ignore them. But I'm always open to asks/yapping.
No NSFW. I am a minor and asexual, so it just puts me out my comfort zone, but I'm open to doing suggestive stuff.
Nothing weird. I won't do underage characters x adults. For underage characters it will be purely platonic.
No spoilers! I hate being spoiled for things I love, and it just makes me so unexited about finishing them.
What I do:
X reader, or ships. I really don't care. I'll do fem reader, masc reader, gn reader, platonic reader... anything.
Jojo's parts 1-5 (six soon). I'm also open to doing general headcannons for groups (think Jojos or Jofoes) but keep in mind I'll usually only do these up until part 5 unless I have pre-existing knowledge about them.
All Genshin characters! I'm up to date on story, archon, (and all the important) world quests, so I can do it for playable characters, Harbingers, dead characters, and NPCs like Rana.
Death note. I've watched all of it, and it's AMAZING.
JJK. I haven't read the manga, but I know most of what happens (roughly). I'm up to date with the Anime though, so feel free to request up until what we have of it so far.
I'm up to date for Mashle. I'm anime only though, so no spoilers.
"The Roaring Knight is Dess" this, "The roaring knight is Papyrus" that.
You're wrong. The Roaring Knight isn't Gaster.
The Roaring knight is Noelle on her period. That's why it cries when is first shows up, and why it's violent. Those mood swings are a bitch.
Not only this, the roaring knight is also F.F from Jojo's. F.F cannot die. A singular plankton survived, and got stuck in the dark world. There, they multiplied, and became the roaring knight. They lost their memory disc, so they're only fighting because they want to see Jolyne again.
I came up with these on my 5th and 11th roaring knight attempts, and this was a joke. feel free to steal this.
(This is a request for you to post your Giorno rant)
okay. so, um, this was written over the course of half an hour at about 5 am after pulling an all nighter and i lokey did feel like ghiaccho while writing this bc i was raging a LOT. it's been edited a little bit so it goes better on here, but, um, enjoy. sorry for the bad grammar
Warnings: Mentions of underage sex, mentions of the normalization of assault in fanfic culture, cursing, mentions of pedophilia, major criticism of giorno x mista
so in case you weren't aware, giorno is 15. same age as me, right? BELOW the age of consent, right? well, apparently, this isn't a barrier to some adult fans of jojo's. because idk if you as much into fanfic/fanart as i am but while yeah, there is some freaky stuff i enjoy (the re-occurring trend of johnny wearing a bikini with an american flag on it, this has happened like 5 separate times and i love it) some of it is just… weird. this is going into some problems with fanfic as a whole, but stuff like rape, non-con, and kidnapping? thats normalized for some people. and it'd be one thing if people found comfort in it, but you expect me to believe that victims of any of those things would be comfortable reading abt their favorite character doing that to them? hell no. so then, you take all the bad parts of fanfic culture, and then, guess what? people do that with giorno, a 15 year old boy. while a tiny bit of this is because of araki (him looking and acting like his 18+) that is SO not the main problem here. the problem is people writing hardcore porn of a character who is a minor. and the amount of it? insane. it'd be one thing if people just wrote fluff and angst, like yeah, it's a little weird that you're making content with a child x a reader who is statistically an adult, but the adult probably just turns themself into a teen while reading it. but then just straight smut? yeah thats not chill. and that's just focusing on x reader stuff. one of the most popular ships in p5 is giorno x mista which is… weird. mista is 18 during the show, and yeah, he's fairly freshly 18, he is still 18. an adult. shipped with giorno. who is 15. not an adult. and there is smut of those two. a character who is canonically an adult, and one who is canonically a minor. and while yeah, some of these are aged up so its 'okay' because , for example, giorno's 20, and mista's 23, that is still weird. because ignoring the fact that it's implying that mista groomed giorno, it is literally people wanting to write porn about a minor, and then realizing they cant do that, so they just make him older. and worse than that, there are some people who don't even bother to age them up.
so, for proof of all of this, i searched up 'giorno' on tumblr, ao3, and wattpad, which are the three most popular fanfic sites i both have access to and are aware of. tumblr goes first. the first 3 posts to do with jjba are fairly normal, a rant about about GER, a drawing of all the joestars, and some doodles of giorno and fugo. but then, the first actual fanfic post? it's (quote) "nsfw headcannons for bucci gang". not only is there narancia (17) and fugo (also 17) there is giorno there. little 15 year old giorno. with nsfw headcannons.
Now its time for ao3! this one's about the same. obviously, ao3 has no fanart on it, so that does give it a disadvantage. I also searched 'giorno giovanna' instead, because it's a multilingual site, and might tag things with buongiorno in it. surprise, surprise. the first post, is a giorno x reader, tagged with (this is absurd, but) "consensual underage sex". im sat here like that one confused man meme. if you are underage, you CANNOT consent, that's the whole point. then, going through the slightly longer but more detailed process, (still on ao3) I went to the jojo's page (if you don't know how ao3 is organized, you write a fic, then put it into 1 or more fandoms, e.g, if you write a pjo and harry potter crossover, you can put it in both. you can navigate pages for specific fandoms too) and i went to the jojo's part. i filtered for the tag 'giorno giovanna', and guess what? the most recent post on ao3 tagged with giorno giovanna is a (polish, i had to translate the caption) smut for giorno x mista. luckily overall ao3 is doing better. when sorted by hits (views) and kudos (likes), it's all fairly non-podophilic. beyond the obvious headcannons, most of the posts are bruno x abba, with giorno just chilling bc he's in the gang. i also sorted by 'vento aureo' as well, just to check, and the first 4 posts are chill (post 2 had me laughing with 'mista & everyone' and 'this is not giomis, don't get your hopes up') post five is giomis. while it doesn't have smut and is 'aged up' its still weird.
and now, for the final experiment. i will do the same thing for a third time (surprise) on wattpad. the first 4 are all x reader posts with no smut (as far as i can tell without reading them). then, comes post five and six (shudders). post five is a giomis one! god i love pedophilia (/s)! then, there's nothing wrong with the fic content for post 6, as far as i can tell. the problem is the cover. the cover is a drawing of giorno (at 15, you can tell from the outfit) with tits. nothing inherently wrong with genderbending a character, the problem is how it was done. nothing else was changed, other than the chest. and trust me, it is drawn in a borderline fetishitic way.
So, what have we learnt?
tumblr is the worst offender of this, with the first actual fanfic post being smut with multiple minors
ao3 was the best, with the worst thing being a weird ship. no giorno smut was found on the entire first page
wattpad was okay, considering a majority of wattpad users are teens, and no smut was found, only x reader, the weird ship, and a softcore porn drawing.
Giorno is more often x reader'd than giomis'd
While smut is common, it is more common on more adult centred sites
Giorno is treated and written as an adult in thee fandom, despite him not being one. he acts mature because of trauma, not because he's an adult.
It should also be noted that writing explicit underage sex scenes is super illegal in many places. I live in Australia, and unsurprisingly it's child pornography. People are imprisoned for writing child porn. People are imprisoned for consuming it.
You did a great job putting this into perspective, and a lot of the fandom needs to get their shit together about this sort of thing!!!! Like. It's extremely fucking predatory!
Child porn of a fictional character is just as bad as that of it being of a real child. if anything, it just normalizes it. i'm so glad that australia has its shit together because over here in the uk, im pretty sure every member of number 10 wants to legalize it
Spoiling shows as a joke! I have almost been spoiled for so many things because of my friends. please. stop. i want to enjoy my media.
talking to people in bathrooms! i don't have a problem with people talking by the sink but i feel myself die every time somebody talking to me while im pissing or taking a dump. it's terrifying, please stop. i don't even know you that well.
asking people out as a joke. I am well aware i am not an attractive person, i don't need somebody jokingly asking me out when i have already come to terms with that. it just sucks.
making fanfics of real people. this one is a bit controversial, i know. but it just feels so weird to know people are writing (especially smut) stories of real people. with real lives. and real bodies. and real relationships. it's just a bit funky-feeling, and not in the good way.
people hating on naps. i have severe insomnia (i am writing this at 2 thirty after pulling an all nighter yesterday) and a lot of the time get suuuper sleepy during the day. and there is no worse feeling than when i finally feel tired enough to get some sleep after 24 hours of, y'know, not doing that, and having somebody start shouting at me because i can't stay awake. it's not disrespect, it's just pure exhaustion.
absurd amounts of fan service in shows. like don't get me wrong, i enjoy it to an extent, and when it's fairly normal. but, i mean, i re-watched jjk with my dad, and actually had to look away during that one scene, near the start, when the girl from the occult club gets attacked by the curse. you know the one i mean.
ai. do i even need to explain this? I am such a hater my english teacher once needed some downsides of ai, and just called my name and told me to yap for a minute or two.
cancelling people for things that just didn't happen. don't get me wrong, some people need to be cancelled, they've done bad things. but random allegations not only ruin people's careers, but also invalidate people who have actual proof that people have bad things. please, do your research.
using gay as an insult. this one needs no explanation
using racism/stereotypical racial accents as the punchline to a joke. I am a white person, so i obviously can't speak fully on this, but it's just... not funny. that stereotypical indian accent, or a stereotypical jamaican accent? They are so incredibly unfunny and rooted so much in racism and stereotypes that i'm just sat there looking uncomfortable. please stop. it's unfunny and mean.
And it’s not just the mischaracterization of how her being bratty or mean, it’s how almost every post GW fic that could be only MONTHS after GW not even years won’t even let Trish acknowledge the horrible trauma that came, Trish kept nearly DYING from her father and people still have the audacity to ship her with a mafia boss as if she being related to a mafia boss literally ruins her LIFE and the thing so many people dismiss is how Trish is just a regular teenage girl put into a horrible situation and is just expected to deal with it?? Like I love Giorno but do you think Trish wouldn’t at least develop some kind of trauma from the mafia and whoever associates with it because of her father alone?? A trauma that may just cause her to develop a small irrational fear of Giorno not because who he is but because of who he COULD be bc people keep forgetting that Giorno is an ideal rather than an actual man and that’s why everyone sees his greatness is because they see their own greatness within his but Trish cannot do that because Trish obviously sees it from a bystander perspective and not a teammate one💔
SPOILERS FOR THE PLOT OF PART 5 OF JOJO'S! DON'T BE SPOILED ITS GREAT.
Masterlist
exactly! i didn't even thing abt this much, but like, trish would probably hate giorno post gw. in the course of a week, she was hunted down by almost all of la squadra, who are fucking terrifying? They are a group of organized assassins who all have absurdly powerful stands that they use super well! personally, I think the weakest stand would be little feet, but even then, narancia damn nearly died to formaggio. and keep in mind these assassins weren't only terrifyingly strong, they were pissed off- and only got more pissed off the more of them they fought. I feel like people forget just how terrifying la squadra is because of how they're a little goofy, and the forget they are responsible for a majority of passione's direct casualties.
and to be hunted down by almost all of them, because of a mob boss you don't know, only to, when you finally get there, to the person who's supposed to stop you from almost being killed by these absolutely terrifying assassins (while you know that the STRONGEST ONE is still out there, probably looking for you) have him almost kill you? that is lifelong trauma.
and giorno knows this. he was there for literally the whole thing, so he was also scared, most likely. remember, 15 years old, fully awoke his stand at most a month before the events of gw. as a 15 year old myself (despite not going through half of the horrible stuff he has) i can safely say that i would be scared, even if I hid it.
I completely agree with the idea of trish being a little scared of giorno. Especially because she knows for a fact that giorno with GER is significantly stronger than diavolo ever was means that despite her knowing him, knowing he protected her the entire time, and literally cut off both his arms to try and keep her safe at one point, she'd still be scared. unlike giorno, she had a stand for like, three days by the point giorno puts diavolo in the death loop, and still barely knows what's going on
i feel so bad for her constantly. if i had it my way, diavolo would be a good parent, and upon trish arriving, instead of cutting her hand off and killing almost everyone, would accept hid daughter, and quit being boss to protect her. :(
Thought it's about time I made one of these... actual fics/headcannons will be on top, rants will be underneath.

Trans Giorno
Trans Giorno revisited
I just saw your whole giorno rant and I fully agree solely bc as someone who’s been in the jojo fandom for a WHILE and has read majority of Giorno fics these people are way too comfortable with making smut and never clarifying if it’s an adult Don Giorno in terms of c reader fics and hot take but there is no GOOD Giorno ship, like Giomis is weird, Naragio isn’t that good imo, I won’t even bring up the 2 canon adults bc EW, Fugio is only peak for ppl who have read PHF and Giotrish is just weird bc Trish probably associates the gang with some level of trauma, like that week where GW is set in this poor girl was dragged into mafia business and allat and like it can be cute as a ship but it’s just there’s a weird level of mischaracterization to it bc every ship I’ve seen involving Trish or just in general fics with her always have her mischaracterized in some rlly annoying way💔
OMG, THIS!
the only ship i wholeheartedly support in GW is Bruabba, and that is almost entirely bc Abba was the first one to follow him after he rebelled, and the line about only being able to sleep around him!
I view their entire gang as a little family that has bonded via trauma. Like yeah, i'll write some ships, but in my heart they are all just really good friends who have something in common!
and abt fugo, i love him so much, but i still havent read the light novel, i've ordered it and it's been delayed like 5 times T-T
and the fact he got ONE, count it, ONE fight in the entirety of GW is absurd. like i find purple haze so cool, but araki just... never does anything with it? like, there's the whole debate as to whether or not viruses are alive, but, assuming they aren't, imagine the potential with giorno if the two locked in! giorno could turn a clump of virus (or even the capsule itself) into an insect, it could latch onto the person until they're at a safe distance, then giorno de-activates it. like, that would be so cool.
and don't even get me STARTED on the trish mischaracterization. i think so many people who write for during the events of GW forget that yeah, she was bratty and standoff-ish, but that was because her entire life was uprooted. she isn't mean for the sake of being mean, she's just a scared teen who had her life ruined overnight.
also omg first inbox from somebody i dont know thank you so much
(This is a request for you to post your Giorno rant)
okay. so, um, this was written over the course of half an hour at about 5 am after pulling an all nighter and i lokey did feel like ghiaccho while writing this bc i was raging a LOT. it's been edited a little bit so it goes better on here, but, um, enjoy. sorry for the bad grammar

Caesar x Joseph getting up in the morning
Caesar had woken up first. He always did, considering how long Joseph slept. It explained his absurd amount of energy. But at least he was currently getting up. It was of Caesar's favourite things. Watching his boyfriend wake up in the mornings, with the sun beaming in through the window, illuminating him. To think he used to date girls when he could've had this.
Once Joseph had gotten up, drank some coffee, and cooked breakfast, they still had a couple minutes before Lisa Lisa would call them over for training. Hence, it was time for Joseph's least favourite part: Caesar doing his makeup. Not because it made him look worse, not at all. Because it made him angry.
"AMMAZZERÓ QUESTA SPAZZOLA!"
There it was.
"JOJO GET OVER HERE NOW."
Oh no. This meant this was the worst case scenario. He wanted help.
Cut to a few minutes later, Caesar had tackled him down, and forced him to do his makeup. Absolutely horrifying. He still hadn't told him about Tequila either, so he was going to get questioned on how he could do the triangles so straight.
Abbacchio x Bucciarati eating breakfast together
Bucciarati handled breakfast and lunch, Abbacchio was in charge of dinner. That was their system for whenever they didn't go to Libeccio for their meals, or when they had some rare time off, like today. So, Leone had slept in and let Bruno handle it, and judging by the smell, it was his favourite breakfast. An omelette with cheese. With a happy sigh, he got up, grabbed a shirt to put on, and headed into the kitchen.
"Good morning amore…" He sleepily greeted with a hug from behind.
"Morning, Leone." Bruno carefully pried the other man off him, and put their plates on the table.
They both sat down and ate, while chatting about their plans. They'd go and visit an art gallery, visit Libeccio for lunch, meet up with the others in the afternoon, then head home again for dinner.
Once they finished, Bruno got up to go and clean the dishes, only for Leone to grab his wrist and pull him onto his lap with a tight hug.
"Love you."
And Bruno knew he'd be dead if he told anybody that.
Fugo x Narancia having a maths lesson
"HOW DID YOU EVEN GET 28????? THAT'S LESS THAT 30!!"
Maths lessons. The worst part of the day, as far as Narancia was concerned. When Fugo shouted at him for not getting things right. But it's not like he had any reason to, he didn't want to know any of this.
"I'm sorry Fugo…" Narancia gave him his puppy eyes, and, safe to say, he gave up. Fugo sighed.
"Look, I think you're lacking motivation-"
"I am, I hate working."
"Don't interrupt me." Fugo was barely controlling his anger. "But as I was saying, if you get the next one right, I'll give you a kiss." Narancia gasped, and looked at him with stars in his eyes.
"I AM SO MOTIVATED RIGHT NOW."
"Okay, great. What's 35 times 7-"
"245!" He screamed, then promptly grabbed Fugo, and kissed him.
Jotaro x Kakyoin going to the aquarium
Safe to say when Kakyoin agreed to go to the aquarium with Jotaro, he didn't react much. But internally, he was thrilled. Nobody had ever gone with him other than his mother when he was young, and he was more than happy to talk to the man he loved about fish.
Which lead to the current situation. Two very tall, buff teenagers, standing in an aquarium in India, with one of them talking about marine life in a monotone voice, and the other looking at him like he was a genius.
"…did you know Greenland sharks can live for up to 500 years."
"No, but now I do, JoJo. Thank you."
"Yare yare." Jotaro hid his face, a deep blush covering his face at Kakyoin's thanks.
"What about that one?" He pointed to a random fish, as Jotaro begins to talk again, still hiding his face.
A/N: I changed the stand name. I know, terrifying. I'll give a proper explanation of it eventually? Potentially... a part two? Only if this goes well tho. I love comfort in my angst <3

!WARNING!
MASSIVE PART FIVE SPOILERS AHEAD.
It was a forest this time.
Diavolo had already lost count of how long he'd suffered at the hands of Gold Experience Requiem. If he had to guess, Giorno had tortured him like this for at least a year. And this time, he would die in a forest. Likely due to wolves. He'd figured out they were the most common forest death.
As if on cue, he heard the howling. Then, the running. Then, there was the feeling of the wolves biting him. Clawing him. Tearing his skin from his flesh, then his flesh from his bones, erratically, the cruel, twisted hand of GER forcing them to avoid anything deadly. Forcing him to watch the animals consume him whole, until he finally died, this time, as a bloodied lump amidst the bushes.
You sigh. Why Fugo was being so annoying to get back on your side was a mystery. Even more of a mystery was why he kept using Purple Haze on you. Sure, you'd come back, but that didn't mean it didn't hurt like hell-
"Y/N, you're back already? What happened?"
"Fugo keeps on virus-ing me, how do I make him stop!?"
Bruno looked at you with what can only be described as a mother's pity. "I'm sure you understand. We left him behind, and I don't think he knows, well…" He gestures around him. Abbacchio, to nobody's surprise, is in the (what he has deemed to be) corner, with his music player and a bottle of wine that were a pain to get into the Inbetween, and Narancia sitting at a table reading the newest volume of Pink Dark Boy. "You can understand why he's mad. Giorno sent you, the newcomer, instead of one of us."
"Yeah, I guess, but he won't let me-"
"ughghhhhgh…"
The groan immediately shuts you up. You look around. The three from Passione were nearby, you could go check on Kakyoin, but that was not a sound that Caesar, his grandfather, or DIO would ever make. Maybe Kars was close enough in orbit that he was visiting? But even then, he wouldn't-
"UGHGHGHHH."
Okaayy, that was a lot louder. You glance at the others, see them just as confused, then decided to steel your resolve, and investigate. You owned this realm, you were the only person who could use their stand here. You got this, man.
Diavolo was officially confused. He was supposed to be in a death loop, not… some weird white void? And this one was giving him a headache. He groaned in slight confusion, trying to clear the brain-fog. When it didn't he groaned again, this time in frustration. He was done. Whatever bullshit GER was pulling, it might as well get on with it. As much as he appreciated the downtime, he had deaths to experience, things to not do, and pain to feel. Joyous.
Okay, so now you were even more confused. You'd made a pillar that blended in, and started sneaking up in the direction of the noise. And currently, there was a pink-haired man you'd never seen before in the Inbetween. That's impossible. You'd never met him, you never made a soul contract with him, so he shouldn't be able to get in here. Fuck it. If he was dangerous, he couldn't use his stand. You were also fairly close to where Dio normally lurked, and would almost definitely be able to pummel this man within an inch of his life, if he was alive. Or at least get him away.
You summon Dreamer's Plea, its long cloak and diamond head expanding past your cover, as your rush over, your stand beginning to punch rapidly as soon as you got in range, accenting every attack with a 'Pla', punching until the man was weakened.
"Who are you? No, how did you get in here? Only people I make deals with should be here, and I know I've never seen you before." He stares at you with large green eyes. He looks… scared? How would someone be scared of you? You weren't particularly tall or buff. "Well? Start answering."
After a lot of silence, you manage to drag him over to where the others were waiting. They might know something at least. He'd finally stood up, and you were currently dragging him through the Inbetween by the wrist.
"So… where are you from?"
Nothing.
"Any life lessons for me?"
Silence.
"C'mon, you need to give me something to work with…"
Bruno had been looking at Abbacchio. He had no shame in that, he knew the other was attractive, and wanted to enjoy the view. And he had been doing that until he'd spotted you coming back over.
With Diavolo himself in tow.
Of course you wouldn't know. You'd only joined Passione after Giorno took over. Sure, you'd known his lot well enough to make deals with them all, but you had no way of knowing about Diavolo. Safe to say, he immediately stood up.
"Y/N. Step away from him. That man is dangerous."
"This guy? Mister Bucciarati, whatever grudge the two of you had, he hasn't spoken a work to me in the last five minutes, he doesn't have his stand, and I really need to find out why Dreamer's Plea keeps spawning me in Fugo's poison cloud."
"Well then, ask the others. How did he even get here? You said that only certain people could enter."
"I. Don't. Know! Because he isn't talking to me, and he looks like he died when I grabbed his wrist to get him here! Will somebody please tell me what's going on!"
"That is the previous boss of Passione."
"The guy before Giorno? You mean he-" You jump back, the floor subconsciously shifting to move Nara, Abba, and Bruno behind you. "You killed them?"
Diavolo's eyes widen, as he begins to stumble back, falling to the floor, and beginning to plead.
"Please, please, I'll do whatever you want, just don't kill me, please, I'm begging you-" He begins to shake. He shifts onto his knees, continuously banging his head against the floor until it begins to bleed.
"Hey, hey, calm down, you're fine." You carefully approach. If this man killed Abba, even without a stand he'd be a threat. That's what you thought until he grabbed onto your ankles, pleading even more.
After a bit, you decided to leave him with Kakyoin, at least while Bucciarati explained what happened to him fully. If anybody could get him calm enough to talk to, it'd be Noriaki. You eventually figure out the full story- Diavolo's story. Of his birth, of Doppio, of the arrows, of Passione, and finally, of how he was put in the death loop. That bit made you quiet. Despite Giorno being younger than you, you still admired him. And the idea of forcefully putting someone through the pain of death- a pain you knew all too well- left you feeling uneasy.
You got up, prepared to head over. He'd be safe from Requiem if he stayed here, and you wanted to avoid death when possible.
"I'll go with! You can't deal with him on your own…" Nara gave you his best puppy eyes,trying to convince you.
"I'll be fine. I'm just gonna talk to him."
"Promise?"
"Pinky promise?" You offer your little finger to him. He locked his with yours, and shakes it. "I'll be back in a bit, promise."
By the time you make it over to Diavolo, he seems a lot calmer. Kakyoin left, likely knowing you'd be there soon, and wanting the two of you to be able to talk in private.
"If you want, you can stay here. In the Inbetween. Gold Experience Requiem can't reach you here."
"What do you know about death?"
"33,550,336 times so far. It always makes me end up here."
"Th-this is part of your stand?" That made him tense up.
"Yes. Part of my Stand, Dreamer's Plea is the Inbetween. It's a place for souls. If I make a mutual agreement with someone, when they die, instead of being reincarnated or going to the afterlife, they end up here. If I perform certain rituals, I can let them possess me, or temporarily give them form in the real world. I end up here when I die. I can stay as long as I want, but whenever I leave, it brings me back to the last possible moment of survival."
"So you… know what it's like?"
"Yes. Which is why I'm offering a way out." The response was instant. Diavolo jumped over, wrapping his arms around you. It was tight, but not… uncomfortable. Just desperate.
