Dreamer-(Rhysand x Reader)Rhysand begrudgingly goes to Hewn City to secure a marriage pact that will indefinitely bond the two Courts together- but the fine ladies of the Court of Nightmares are not what he wants or needs. Instead, he discovers Lady Y/N, and she has no qualms about telling him how he has failed this City and her. This is more than just coincidence, itâs fate.
Yours (Rhysand x Plus size reader)
Y/N meets Rhys in a bar- one month after the worst night of her life. One month after he saved her. But Rhys has no interest in being a hero, and Y/N doesn't want to be a victim. They only want each other.

Y/N has no choice but to help him, even if it means yanking out every ash arrow embedded in his wings by hand.

Better Than Any Fantasy (Ruhn Danaan x Tristan Flynn x Plus size reader)

Unworthy (Azriel x Plus Size Reader)

Mine (Cassian x plus size reader)

Art by @dawneternal: Eris during the events of Cold was the steel of my axe to grind, portraits of the gingersnaps, art of Eris and Atlas
Gingerfucker week 2024 blurbs
Moodboard
Itâs just to satiate the bond - an agreement to have sex just to satiate a mating bond neither party wants is a great idea. Surely no one will get hurt, right?
One single thread of gold tied me to you* - Eris accepts the mating bond and is incredibly touched by the effort you put into cooking him the meal from scratch
Allâs well that ends well to end up with you - fears and doubts cause you and Eris to do your first irrational act together: a secret mating bond ceremony
I am ash from your fire - Surprising Eris one evening, youâve turned up in the dead of night to let him know that your brother had figured out your secret relationship, offering you an ultimatum.
Cold was the steel of my axe to grind - centuries of plotting and scheming come to a head when his mate unexpectedly arrives in Autumn and Eris is desperate to set his plans in motion, least she become a piece for Beron to use against him
Chains around my demons, wool to brave the seasons - Eris leaves his mate alone in the Forest House, telling her to trust no one but his mother. The two women are ill-equipped to provide frontline fighting, but surely they can help Eris in their own way. *companion piece to âCold was the steel of my axe to grindâ
Hell was the journey but it brought me Heaven - in the immediate aftermath of Beronâs death and the thrum of power in his veins, Erisâs mate forces him to, at the bare minimum, bathe
Secret exchanges - a few weeks after the aftermath of Rhysâs banishment, your mate, the new High Lord of the Autumn Court, has a secret meeting with someone from your family.
Blood moon in Autumn - fae cycles are no joke, but your mate is always there to provide you comfort in the best way possible: by being your personal heating pad
Have I found you, flightless bird? - a reflection of a life of secrets and expectations and how, despite it all, a flightless bird found home in an unlikely place
Ferocious beasts with soft bellies - Erisâs hounds know youâre pregnant before either of you do, driving the two of you wild with their newfound devotion to you.
Starfall in Autumn - based on the prompt for Starfall week âcharacters a and b realize they wonât make it to Starfall. They make the most of what they have to celebrateâ
Laborious anxieties - Eris is riddled with anxiety leading up to your labor, but what happens when some of his worst fears come to fruition?
Cursing my name, wishing I stayed - your relationship with Rhysand had been icy at best, but your attempts to reconcile are quick to be shot down. A rash decision leads you to endangering your life - can Eris find you in time? Can he save your infant son?
Amber eyes, looking into mine - Eris finds something in his study that triggers him into a frozen state of panic. Who better suited to pulling Eris from his past than his future?
We started alone, in the end weâre okay - on a rare night alone, Eris reflects on his long life and the lonely nights that haunted his youth. And how heâs a long way from the person he was and the person he had to be.
Fireling - every fatherâs dream is to be there the day his son first uses his powers. Luckily for Eris, he gets just that.
How the kingdom lights shine just for me and you - Eris tells his sons a story, letting them know how a strong knight defeated an evil dragon and saved the kingdom.
Loving parents, harmless fun - Modern!Gingerfucker - slice of life where Eris takes his family on a roadtrip and is only slightly annoyed at his sonâs choice of car game
Summary: "iâm not sure if you taking requests but I was wondering if you could write something for Az where he has a whole mate and child/family and the IC doesnât know bc he was to scared for people to know and therefore putting his little family in danger đ kinda just an angsty fluffy fic đ«¶đ»"

Main Masterlist
Tired eyes roam around, wings almost touching the ground, Azrielâs focus on the other side of Velaris as Rhysand kept talking about the same problems in the Hewn City. He really tried, but the tugs in his chest urged him home. To her.
âWe need to go there next week.â Rhysand looked around, his eyes landing on the clearly distracted Shadowsinger. âEveryone must go.â He emphasised, making Azriel internally groan in annoyance.Â
He wanted to ask for some time off, take his mate and their daughter on a vacation, enjoy their presence and just be with them for as long as he could. Rhys dismissed the meeting and he immediately jumped out of his seat. He wanted to be with her, hold her in his arms and tell her how much he missed her. A month away from his mate and their family was always hard, crushing his spirit and draining his energy until he was by her side again.Â
Without a proper goodbye and completely ignoring Feyreâs invitation to stay for dinner, Azriel fled, his wings carrying him with the wind. The house on the outskirts of Velaris irradiated life. The faelights surrounding the garden welcomed him home, he happily sighed, pushing the door open and sniffling the air, chicken and herbs filled his senses, a tint of strawberry mixed with chocolate chips.Â
He smiled as the strawberry scent grew stronger, and a pair of arms wrapped itself on his left leg. He looked down, the toddler, 3 years older than Nyx, moved herself around, the tiny wings slowly whooshing in the air as he scooped her up.Â
âMommy! DADDYâS HOME.â Little Selene screamed, and he kissed her cheek.
âHow are you, baby? Did you take care of mommy for me?â The little girl nodded excitedly.Â
âI did, and mommy took good care of me too.â Her arms wrapped around his neck and she kissed his face, loudly smacking her lips against his skin.Â
âI donât deserve a kiss too?â His beautiful mate appeared in front of him, some hair strands falling from the bun she always wore while she cooked, a dirty apron covered her front and she held a wooden spoon, Azriel never saw a much more beautiful sight in his entire life.
Placing Selene on the floor, he pulled her by the waist, his lips delicately brushing against her warm ones. Bliss was the only word close enough to describe the feeling of being in her embrace, being near them, his two girls, the two people he loved the most in this world. Â
âHow was the mission?â She asked, grabbing his hand and leading the way towards their bedroom. Azriel could see the candles illuminating the bathroom, and the bathtub filled to the brim with water and foam, his favourite soap filled his nostrils. She always had a bath ready for him, a pair of fresh clothes and a warm meal whenever he got home from a mission, he could stay two days away or two years, he would always get home to that.Â
âIncredibly annoying, I couldn't wait to be done and come home.â He discarded his clothes, her hungry gaze watched his every move, he could hear her swallowing hard at his naked figure. He submerged in the hot water, his muscles relaxing right away, she sat by the tub, a cloth in hand and started to rub his back.
âAnd I couldn't wait to have you back home.â She rubbed a particularly hard spot on his neck that had him moaning in relief. He rested his head against her thigh, her long fingers stroked in between his hair, massaging his scalp. âLene has a surprise for you.â She warned and he looked at her.
âWhat is it?â His wife giggled, and raised an eyebrow, which always indicated that she would keep quiet. He smiled at her, stealing the cloth from her hands and rubbing himself. âThen I'd better hurry up.â She nodded, getting up and heading out of the room.Â
âËâĄâŸđ€âœ âĄËâ
âAs we trained, baby.â Y/N spoke, the late night breeze was a comfortable relief against the hot summer night. Azriel sat by the porch, Y/N held Leneâs hand and the little girl looked at her mother for reassurance. âYou wonât fall, and if you do, daddy and I are here to catch you, always.â
With a confident gleam in her eyes, Seleneâs wings moved, forcing her body upwards, little by little she started to float, her little hands slipping out of her motherâs reach. Azriel watched in complete awe as his daughter flew, her little body being carried towards the main gate and back to her mother. A month ago, Selene couldnât go anywhere without holding their hands.
He got up, clapping and urging her for another lap towards the gate and back to him. Her dark hair moved around in the wind, her flushed cheeks and her proud expression crashed against his chest. She squealed in delight as he held her, spinning her around.
âThat was so amazing. My girl is growing up so fast.â He kissed her cheek. âSoon you will be flying faster than your old daddy here.â Selene nodded in agreement.
âIâll be the fastest Illyrian in the world.â Her mother came up to them, her fingers poking her belly, making Selene squirm and laugh.Â
âYou will, my love. But now itâs time to go to bed, okay?â The little girl looked at her father, her mothers eyes looking at him. She was the perfect mix of them both.Â
âYou heard your mother.â He leaned to whisper in her ear. âWe canât disobey her, or else sheâll ground both of us.â Selene nodded, and they took her inside. Azriel placed her in bed, kissing her forehead and wishing her a goodnight, once again telling her how proud he was of her flight.
âShe wanted to train all month.â Y/N said, removing the hair tie and letting her hair fall loose, she removed her clothes and reached for one of his old shirts that reached the middle of her thighs. âI wish I could teach her more.âÂ
Despite being a full born Illyrian, Y/N was born without wings, no one understood how this even happened, but Azriel was glad that she was spared from the wings clipping cruelty that still happened on the camp she was born.Â
âYou do more than enough, tonight just proved it. Sheâll carry you when youâre too old to even walk.â She laughed, her beautiful smile plastered across her face.
âSo I only get to fly when I'm in diapers?â She rested her head against his chest.Â
âOkay, okay. Iâll take you flying tomorrow.â He rolled his eyes and she playfully slapped his chest. âYou have no idea how much I love you.â He blurted after a minute of silence. âIâll ask Rhys for some time off.â
âYou will?â Her big eyes turned towards him, hope sparked in them. He knew he worked a lot, and she was very patient with him missing important things, but someone could only be patient to a certain point, he knew she would snap soon and he didnât blame her.Â
âI will, I promise to you.â She kissed his chest.
âI love you, Az.â He could see the excitement covering her tone even if she tried to hide it, he was going to ask Rhys after the trip to the Court of Nightmares, he was sure that he would understand.Â
âËâĄâŸđ€âœ âĄËâ
Azriel fixed his leathers, the new syphon in his chest was a shade darker than the others, he had used his main one to make a ring for Y/N and a necklace for Selene, so they would always have an important part of him with them. The remaining of the stone was well guarded in case he needed to make more jewellery for Leneâs future siblings.Â
âEveryone ready to go?â Rhysandâs voice sounded from somewhere behind him, but before he could muster a response, a piece of paper materialised itself in front of him. At the same time, his chest was flooded by a wave of pure distress and fear. He shifted anxiously, opening the paper.
âSelene got too excited flying and she fell, i think she broke her arm. Iâm taking her to the healers hall, please meet me there.â The words sank in his chest, she was eager to fly a longer distance because he had said if she could fly until she reached the tree a few feet away from their house, he would take her flying for a whole day. It was his fault.
He didnât register the voices calling his name, he just wanted to get to Selene as fast as he could. He was halfway into the threshold, hand on the cold doorknob, ready to leave, when his body suddenly went completely still. He couldnât move.
âI told you to stay.â Rhysandâs High Lord voice commanded and he growled, turning to him slowly.
âLet me go.â Azriel demanded. Rhys raised an eyebrow, he never had to use his powers on Azriel because he never failed to do his duty.
âWhatever is wrong with you, it's not more important than this trip, i told you everyone must go.â Everyone in the room could see the rage simmering in the Shadowsingerâs gaze, his golden eyes burning holes in Rhysandâs skull.
âI donât want to fight with you. LET. ME. GO.â His pure will of being with his family pushed Rhysandâs restrainings away, they silently watched as he started to move.
âI already told y..â Rhysand was cut short by the furious laughter of Azriel.
âNothing is more important than my daughter.â The words left his lips, leaving the whole inner circle astonished, his what? âLet alone that maggot who thinks heâs better than you.â Azriel turned around. âSo I'll see you later.â And with that he left.
Azriel kept his little family hidden from everyone, even from the people he trusted the most in the world, cuz he could never forgive himself if something ever happened to them. The thought of having them kidnapped and used as a way to get to him, their bruised bodies and broken spirit always flooded his mind whenever he thought of revealing them to the world. They were his most precious treasure and he would do anything in his power to keep them safe from the people who could harm them.
âWe need to go after him.â Feyre said, the distressed expression on his face completely shattered her heart. âAnd you will apologise, he would never fail his duty if it wasnât important for him, you shouldâve let him go.â She scolded and guilt filled Rhysâs violet eyes. He nodded, the Hewn City could wait, his brother was more important, and apparently his nieceâs wellbeing too.
âËâĄâŸđ€âœ âĄËâ
As the inner circle arrives at the Healers Hall, they spot Madja, sheâs talking to a female. The female holds a little winged girl tightly against her chest, the little girl has a cast on her left arm, her little eyes are red with tears, a wet trail down her cheeks and the cutest pout ever. Without needing confirmation, they just know that itâs them.
They slowly approach, Azrielâs eyes meet Rhysand, heâs holding a glass of water and heading back to the femaleâs side. Sheâs too focused on Madja to notice the group coming behind them. The little girl notices tho, her eyes looking curiously at them, her features painfully familiar to the male standing by her side. Azriel whispered something to the female as Madja left.
She turned to them, her hand smoothing the girlâs hair. They looked beautiful together, and they wondered if she was his mate. By the way he pulled her close, they could only assume that yes, she was his mate. They could only guess what reason he had to hide them, the family he always wanted, how heavy this secret mightâve been to carry alone.
âWhat happened to this beautiful girl?â Feyre asked, stepping forward. Selene looked at her parents for reassurance, the two of them nodded slowly.
âTell what youâve been up to, Selene.â The femaleâs soft voice sounded. Feyre almost laughed with the coincidence, certainly Azriel noticed it. Selene the goddess of the Moon and Nyx the goddess of the Night.Â
âI wanted to fly like daddy, but I fell.â She lifted the cast to them. âDo you want to sign it?â Feyre nodded, despite looking like Azriel, she wasnât as shy as he was.
âNot now baby.â He said, his eyes locked up in a staring match with Rhys. âMaybe later, when they come over for dinner.â The High Lord nodded, they wouldn't miss this chance of learning about this secret part of his life.Â
âËâĄâŸđ€âœ âĄËâ
The house was cosy, in a quiet place, like they always pictured Azrielâs house as. Coloured markers were scattered around the living room table, everyone needed to pick one and sign Seleneâs cast in order to access the rest of the house, as she happily demanded. Swirls of shadows, hearts, flowers and names marked her cast, she meticulously examined every single drawing, before happily dragging the three year old boy along with her, towards a pile of toys.Â
Y/N, as she introduced herself, was moving around the kitchen, different aromas lingered in the air, Elain was immediately by her side, chopping vegetables. Feyre and Mor prepared the table, while Nesta watched over the kids. The females talked, getting to know all they could about Y/N and their family. She happily engaged in the conversation like they were long time friends.
Azriel, Cassian and Rhys sat by the living room, cups filled with liquor. Rhys wanted to apologise, so he cleared his throat, his violet eyes filled with regret. The two males stopped the chat, turning to him.
âIâm so sorry for how I acted. I shouldâve assumed that you would never leave if it wasnât important for you.â The Shadowsinger nodded. âI shouldâve never stopped you.â
âAnd I should've told you, a long time ago.â He answered.Â
âNo, you didnât have to.â Cassian intervenes.Â
âHeâs right, you had your reasons, I would've done the same for Feyre and Nyx.â Azriel smiled, knowing very well that he would, in fact, do the same if he ever needed to.
âI donât want to hide them anymore.â He looked over to his mate, talking with his sisters in law, and his daughter, playing with her cousin.Â
âThen weâll be glad to be their protectors.â Rhysand spoke. Cassian reached for his and Azrielâs hand.
âAs long as we live, they will be safe. All of them. That is a promise.â And their skins prickled, a tattoo forming to seal the bargain made between the three brothers. As long as they lived, their families would always be safe, no harm would ever get to them.

Main Masterlist
Tired eyes roam around, wings almost touching the ground, Azrielâs focus on the other side of Velaris as Rhysand kept talking about the same problems in the Hewn City. He really tried, but the tugs in his chest urged him home. To her.
âWe need to go there next week.â Rhysand looked around, his eyes landing on the clearly distracted Shadowsinger. âEveryone must go.â He emphasised, making Azriel internally groan in annoyance.Â
He wanted to ask for some time off, take his mate and their daughter on a vacation, enjoy their presence and just be with them for as long as he could. Rhys dismissed the meeting and he immediately jumped out of his seat. He wanted to be with her, hold her in his arms and tell her how much he missed her. A month away from his mate and their family was always hard, crushing his spirit and draining his energy until he was by her side again.Â
Without a proper goodbye and completely ignoring Feyreâs invitation to stay for dinner, Azriel fled, his wings carrying him with the wind. The house on the outskirts of Velaris irradiated life. The faelights surrounding the garden welcomed him home, he happily sighed, pushing the door open and sniffling the air, chicken and herbs filled his senses, a tint of strawberry mixed with chocolate chips.Â
He smiled as the strawberry scent grew stronger, and a pair of arms wrapped itself on his left leg. He looked down, the toddler, 3 years older than Nyx, moved herself around, the tiny wings slowly whooshing in the air as he scooped her up.Â
âMommy! DADDYâS HOME.â Little Selene screamed, and he kissed her cheek.
âHow are you, baby? Did you take care of mommy for me?â The little girl nodded excitedly.Â
âI did, and mommy took good care of me too.â Her arms wrapped around his neck and she kissed his face, loudly smacking her lips against his skin.Â
âI donât deserve a kiss too?â His beautiful mate appeared in front of him, some hair strands falling from the bun she always wore while she cooked, a dirty apron covered her front and she held a wooden spoon, Azriel never saw a much more beautiful sight in his entire life.
Placing Selene on the floor, he pulled her by the waist, his lips delicately brushing against her warm ones. Bliss was the only word close enough to describe the feeling of being in her embrace, being near them, his two girls, the two people he loved the most in this world. Â
âHow was the mission?â She asked, grabbing his hand and leading the way towards their bedroom. Azriel could see the candles illuminating the bathroom, and the bathtub filled to the brim with water and foam, his favourite soap filled his nostrils. She always had a bath ready for him, a pair of fresh clothes and a warm meal whenever he got home from a mission, he could stay two days away or two years, he would always get home to that.Â
âIncredibly annoying, I couldn't wait to be done and come home.â He discarded his clothes, her hungry gaze watched his every move, he could hear her swallowing hard at his naked figure. He submerged in the hot water, his muscles relaxing right away, she sat by the tub, a cloth in hand and started to rub his back.
âAnd I couldn't wait to have you back home.â She rubbed a particularly hard spot on his neck that had him moaning in relief. He rested his head against her thigh, her long fingers stroked in between his hair, massaging his scalp. âLene has a surprise for you.â She warned and he looked at her.
âWhat is it?â His wife giggled, and raised an eyebrow, which always indicated that she would keep quiet. He smiled at her, stealing the cloth from her hands and rubbing himself. âThen I'd better hurry up.â She nodded, getting up and heading out of the room.Â
âËâĄâŸđ€âœ âĄËâ
âAs we trained, baby.â Y/N spoke, the late night breeze was a comfortable relief against the hot summer night. Azriel sat by the porch, Y/N held Leneâs hand and the little girl looked at her mother for reassurance. âYou wonât fall, and if you do, daddy and I are here to catch you, always.â
With a confident gleam in her eyes, Seleneâs wings moved, forcing her body upwards, little by little she started to float, her little hands slipping out of her motherâs reach. Azriel watched in complete awe as his daughter flew, her little body being carried towards the main gate and back to her mother. A month ago, Selene couldnât go anywhere without holding their hands.
He got up, clapping and urging her for another lap towards the gate and back to him. Her dark hair moved around in the wind, her flushed cheeks and her proud expression crashed against his chest. She squealed in delight as he held her, spinning her around.
âThat was so amazing. My girl is growing up so fast.â He kissed her cheek. âSoon you will be flying faster than your old daddy here.â Selene nodded in agreement.
âIâll be the fastest Illyrian in the world.â Her mother came up to them, her fingers poking her belly, making Selene squirm and laugh.Â
âYou will, my love. But now itâs time to go to bed, okay?â The little girl looked at her father, her mothers eyes looking at him. She was the perfect mix of them both.Â
âYou heard your mother.â He leaned to whisper in her ear. âWe canât disobey her, or else sheâll ground both of us.â Selene nodded, and they took her inside. Azriel placed her in bed, kissing her forehead and wishing her a goodnight, once again telling her how proud he was of her flight.
âShe wanted to train all month.â Y/N said, removing the hair tie and letting her hair fall loose, she removed her clothes and reached for one of his old shirts that reached the middle of her thighs. âI wish I could teach her more.âÂ
Despite being a full born Illyrian, Y/N was born without wings, no one understood how this even happened, but Azriel was glad that she was spared from the wings clipping cruelty that still happened on the camp she was born.Â
âYou do more than enough, tonight just proved it. Sheâll carry you when youâre too old to even walk.â She laughed, her beautiful smile plastered across her face.
âSo I only get to fly when I'm in diapers?â She rested her head against his chest.Â
âOkay, okay. Iâll take you flying tomorrow.â He rolled his eyes and she playfully slapped his chest. âYou have no idea how much I love you.â He blurted after a minute of silence. âIâll ask Rhys for some time off.â
âYou will?â Her big eyes turned towards him, hope sparked in them. He knew he worked a lot, and she was very patient with him missing important things, but someone could only be patient to a certain point, he knew she would snap soon and he didnât blame her.Â
âI will, I promise to you.â She kissed his chest.
âI love you, Az.â He could see the excitement covering her tone even if she tried to hide it, he was going to ask Rhys after the trip to the Court of Nightmares, he was sure that he would understand.Â
âËâĄâŸđ€âœ âĄËâ
Azriel fixed his leathers, the new syphon in his chest was a shade darker than the others, he had used his main one to make a ring for Y/N and a necklace for Selene, so they would always have an important part of him with them. The remaining of the stone was well guarded in case he needed to make more jewellery for Leneâs future siblings.Â
âEveryone ready to go?â Rhysandâs voice sounded from somewhere behind him, but before he could muster a response, a piece of paper materialised itself in front of him. At the same time, his chest was flooded by a wave of pure distress and fear. He shifted anxiously, opening the paper.
âSelene got too excited flying and she fell, i think she broke her arm. Iâm taking her to the healers hall, please meet me there.â The words sank in his chest, she was eager to fly a longer distance because he had said if she could fly until she reached the tree a few feet away from their house, he would take her flying for a whole day. It was his fault.
He didnât register the voices calling his name, he just wanted to get to Selene as fast as he could. He was halfway into the threshold, hand on the cold doorknob, ready to leave, when his body suddenly went completely still. He couldnât move.
âI told you to stay.â Rhysandâs High Lord voice commanded and he growled, turning to him slowly.
âLet me go.â Azriel demanded. Rhys raised an eyebrow, he never had to use his powers on Azriel because he never failed to do his duty.
âWhatever is wrong with you, it's not more important than this trip, i told you everyone must go.â Everyone in the room could see the rage simmering in the Shadowsingerâs gaze, his golden eyes burning holes in Rhysandâs skull.
âI donât want to fight with you. LET. ME. GO.â His pure will of being with his family pushed Rhysandâs restrainings away, they silently watched as he started to move.
âI already told y..â Rhysand was cut short by the furious laughter of Azriel.
âNothing is more important than my daughter.â The words left his lips, leaving the whole inner circle astonished, his what? âLet alone that maggot who thinks heâs better than you.â Azriel turned around. âSo I'll see you later.â And with that he left.
Azriel kept his little family hidden from everyone, even from the people he trusted the most in the world, cuz he could never forgive himself if something ever happened to them. The thought of having them kidnapped and used as a way to get to him, their bruised bodies and broken spirit always flooded his mind whenever he thought of revealing them to the world. They were his most precious treasure and he would do anything in his power to keep them safe from the people who could harm them.
âWe need to go after him.â Feyre said, the distressed expression on his face completely shattered her heart. âAnd you will apologise, he would never fail his duty if it wasnât important for him, you shouldâve let him go.â She scolded and guilt filled Rhysâs violet eyes. He nodded, the Hewn City could wait, his brother was more important, and apparently his nieceâs wellbeing too.
âËâĄâŸđ€âœ âĄËâ
As the inner circle arrives at the Healers Hall, they spot Madja, sheâs talking to a female. The female holds a little winged girl tightly against her chest, the little girl has a cast on her left arm, her little eyes are red with tears, a wet trail down her cheeks and the cutest pout ever. Without needing confirmation, they just know that itâs them.
They slowly approach, Azrielâs eyes meet Rhysand, heâs holding a glass of water and heading back to the femaleâs side. Sheâs too focused on Madja to notice the group coming behind them. The little girl notices tho, her eyes looking curiously at them, her features painfully familiar to the male standing by her side. Azriel whispered something to the female as Madja left.
She turned to them, her hand smoothing the girlâs hair. They looked beautiful together, and they wondered if she was his mate. By the way he pulled her close, they could only assume that yes, she was his mate. They could only guess what reason he had to hide them, the family he always wanted, how heavy this secret mightâve been to carry alone.

Request: Whenever you come back đ„ł womanizer Bucky having to convince reader he really wants to go out with her?
You couldnât help but roll your eyes. Bucky was asking you out. The same Bucky that rarely was seen with the same woman more than once. The same Bucky who didnât do âdatingâ. âIâm not into the same type ofâŠagreementsâŠyou are.â You turned him down. He was your friend, and you didnât want to hurt him, but you werenât going to baby him, either. âNo, thank you, Bucky.â You took your coffee cup and went to go back to your desk. You dated to date people. You didnât âdateâ to âhookupâ. You didnât condemn people who did, that just wasnât what you were comfortable with.
He watched you go before going after you. âIâm not asking for what youâre thinking.â He defended himself. âNot even close. I really like you, and I want to take you out. See how things go.â He ran a hand through his hair as you set your mug down next to your keyboard. Bucky felt like he could have more with you, and would hate himself if you started dating someone and missed his chance.
âWhy?â You turned to him, a confused look on your face. âWhy do you suddenly want to try dating? Why do you want to try dating with me ?â You asked, arms crossed over your chest. Licking your lips, you shook your head. âIâm sorry, but I know you. I know how you are with women. I love you as a close friend, but I wonât put myself in that spot.â You refused, and you didnât want to lose his friendship once things turned out to be just like his usual.Â
âY/N? COME ON!â You and Bucky glanced at your headphones that were resting on your chair. Your raiding party was now full, and waiting on you. And they were clearly annoyed.
Looking back to him, you gave him a sad smile. âI gotta get back on.â You motioned to your computer.Â
âYeah, sure.â He sighed, watching you get set back up. How the hell was he supposed to show you that he really liked you?
Bucky huffed as he walked into Steveâs room. âMay I help you?â Steve asked, setting his lunch down on the counter. âYou okay?â He asked, noting how off Bucky looked.
âI asked Y/N out this morning.â He told him. âAnd she turned me down. Point blank. No beating around the bush. She thinks I want my usual âarrangementâ or something.â He sighed. âI really like her, and sheâs pushing me away because she âknowsâ how I am with women.â He made a face as he said it.âHow can I convince her I really do like her and I really want to go out with her?â He asked, knowing you were also close to Steve.Â
Steve stared at him. âYou want me to help you convince her right this moment?â He asked. âBecause I donât know if I can come up with something on the spot.â He noted. âThatâll take some thought.âÂ
He shook his head. âI donât think so. I mean, when I left her room she was gaming. Sheâs probably still on there.â He shrugged. âWe have time. Just...soon?â He didnât want to let things hang in the air for too long, because then youâd think he really did just want his usual arrangement.Â
His best friend grinned. âI think I have an idea.â He told Bucky, making the dark haired man raise an eyebrow. âUp for some gaming?âÂ
âDonât I need to buy things for that? And pay a fee for a month?â He asked.Â
Steve nodded. âSheâs like clockwork. Every week at the same timeâŠsheâs raiding. Why donât you get all set up to the latest expansion-âÂ
âI donât know what that means.âÂ
âIâll help. So, weâll get you set up to the latest expansion, and then you can ask her to help you learn the game. Spend time together that way. NO mentioning other women or anything. I mean, except likeâŠNat. Maybe start with that. Especially on nights youâd normally go out. Show her youâre choosing to spend your time with her, not out getting laid.â He explained. âDo you see where Iâm going with this?âÂ
Bucky grinned, nodding. He really hoped this worked.
So it turns out there's a limit to how many links you can add it into a single post. So my old 911 masterlist is now the Evan Buckley masterlist, and this is a separate one for Eddie.
