summary: despite being in the public eye for years, you have been able to keep one secret: who your husband is. one moment your ring finger is bare then the next you have an engagement ring followed by a wedding band. interviewers have tried to get you to reveal who he is but you've kept your mouth shut... until now. but you won't say it that easily, your interviewer will have to listen to the story of the 5 relationships you've had that are most meaningful to you

a/n: ahhh! i’m super excited for this project and it’s a little challenge for me since i have a horrible habit of never finishing the series i write. welcome to the introduction, i hope you enjoy!! (don’t worry the good stuff is coming in the next part!)

It all started as a typical day. Tashigi was at her desk, finishing up her latest story when Smoker came. She didn’t even notice he was lingering until her earbud was taken out of her left ear. “I’ve been calling your name for the past 10 minutes, Tashigi…how many times do I have to tell you to only have one of these things in your ear?”

Heat spread across her face quickly as she blubbered over her words. “I’m so sorry—”, she couldn’t even get her apology out because his large hand was lifted. The universal gesture to just shut the fuck up. She nodded and pressed her lips into a thin line to prevent herself from saying anything else.

“Good. You can listen. Now come to my office.” He stood up straight and all she could do was sit there. The first thought that rang through her mind was, I’m getting fired. She hasn’t produced any worthwhile articles these past few months at G5, just some bullshit tabloid pieces you read when you’re at the doctor’s office and your phone died. Tashigi downed the rest of her lukewarm coffee on her desk then got up and walked to Smoker’s office.

Is this what death row inmates feel when they’re walking to the executioner? She thought to herself as she stood in front of Smoker’s door, she knocked twice then entered the room. Behind his comically large desk, Smoker sat with a cigar between his lips. It wasn’t lit yet but he chewed on it just a bit. “Come on sit.” He grunted out and she made her way to the chair in front of his desk, her mind was running wild with thoughts.

Great, I’m getting fired and he’s having a celebratory cigar. The thought was already swirling around her head as she watched him with the cigar between his lips. Smoker opened one of his drawers and took out a lighter and another cigar. “Here. This is for you.” He took the cigar from atop his desk and held it out to her. She hesitated for a moment before shaking her head, then the words came spilling out. “Look, if you’re trying to placate me with a cigar, you don’t need to. I’m a grown woman and I can handle this news. If you’re going to fire me just go on and do it.”

Just as the words left her lips, her eyes widened behind the red frames she always wore and she sat there with her mouth agape. Smoker raised his eyebrows and set the cigar down next to the lighter. Then he just laughed. It was deep and hearty, a sound that was very unusual coming from him. After a moment he caught his breath and took the lighter, bringing it to the cigar between his lips and lit it. “This is actually a celebratory meeting. I want to say congratulations in advance for your upcoming story.”

Her eyebrows furrowed and she finally shut her mouth. “What?” She tried to think back, she didn’t receive an email with a new assignment yet and Smoker never congratulated anyone before. “What?” She repeated the word and he took a deep inhale before letting out the puff of smoke. “You’re going to interview one of the most secretive actresses out there. I just got an email from Caesar at MADS Entertainment.” He turned on his desktop then turned it around so she could read it.

From: Caesar C. Lown

To: Smoker

CC: Vergo, Yarisugi

My client has expressed to me that she finally wants to do an interview. The specifics of what she wants to discuss is unknown to me but there is only one non-negotiable:

Tashigi MUST be the one to interview her.

She will not accept anyone else and if anyone else shows up at the door, my client will gladly tell them to kiss her ass and shut the door in their face.

Tashigi’s eyes widened once again when she read the email. Caesar? MADS Entertainment? There were plenty of actresses that were signed to that agency and she filtered through each one. “Before you go back to when the agency was first founded, I’ll give you the answer. You’re interviewing Y/N.” If Tashigi’s eyes were wide before, they were about to pop out of her head at this point. Smoker takes another puff from his cigar and nods, “I know. I thought it was a joke at first but I confirmed it with Caesar. For some odd reason, she wants you. Now, will you take it?” She freezes for a moment before nodding eagerly, “of course I will! I’ve seen so many of her movies, my favorite is A Love Long Lost when she played a divorced mother finding love again. I’ve cried every single time I watched the movie.”

Smoker takes another puff of his cigar then taps it into the ash tray on his desk, “sorry to burst your fangirl moment Tashigi but we don’t want to blow this because you’re a huge fan of hers. You need to rein it in and you need to take this seriously. She doesn’t do interviews like this, especially ones concerning her love life. As you may already know, she’s been seen with plenty of men ranging from other award-winning actors to what upper society considers the help. One day she popped up with a wedding ring and no one can piece who she’s married to. Then four years ago she had a baby bump. Then a couple months later she was pictured with a swaddled baby, she hasn’t even shown the kids face so the kid must look like her husband.” He takes another drag from his cigar and tilts his head back as he sighs, “what I’m trying to say is, this is the best opportunity for you and your career but it can also destroy you. If you set her in a bad direction then we lose the cover story and honestly, I won’t be able to fight for your job here.”

Tashigi’s heart sank to her stomach at the realization. She had been so excited about the interview that she didn’t realize the stakes. “High risk and high reward, right? I won’t blow this, I promise you.” Her gaze steels as she looks at Smoker and he nods, “I hope you don’t. Let me give you Caesar’s contact information so you can schedule the best time to start. And Tashigi, don’t fuck this up.” He forwards the email to Tashigi as she makes her way back to her desk. Her mind is running with thoughts.

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆

The days following go by in a blur of schedules, phone calls and emails. Finally she gets the confirmation she needs a week later. The interview will be conducted in your townhouse in Brooklyn on a Saturday morning.

When the day finally approaches, Tashigi feels like her heart is going to beat out of her chest. She spent the night before going through all your filmography, reviewing all the tabloid pictures of you with different men, rereading past interviews you’ve done, just studying you. On the drive over to your home she listened to a podcast you did after your most recent movie release. Your voice was soft and gentle as you discussed navigating around being four months pregnant and filming scenes that showed off your body. Tashigi knew from the first film she saw that you starred in why people loved you, you had this air to you that drew people to you. Then your looks just topped it off, curves in all the right places, your alluring eyes that could switch from innocent to sultry in the blink of an eye, everything about you could’ve been sculpted.

Before she knew it, her GPS announced that she was at her location. She found a great parking spot and once her car was parked she grabbed her bag and got out of the car. Now out of the car, she adjusts her glasses and fixes her hair before trekking up the steps to your front door. Her hand trembles as she rings the doorbell and before she can put her hand down, there’s someone opening the door. A woman about her age with green hair and piercing eyes opens the door, “hi, you must be Tashigi. Come inside, I’m Monet.” Monet holds her hand out for Tashigi and she hesitates for a breath before taking it, “pleasure to meet you.” Tashigi stutters out as she shakes the other woman’s hand then Monet opens the door wider to allow her to walk inside. “Follow me.” Monet leads the way inside and Tashigi’s eyes shift around as she walks. There's expensive paintings decorating the walls along with professional photos of you from different films and award shows and a few finger paintings, obviously done by a child.

Monet leads Tashigi to what is presumably your living room then gestures to her to sit down. “Ms. Y/N should be here shortly, would you like something to eat or drink?” Tashigi sits down in the middle of the large couch then looks up at Monet, “could I have a tea? Is there peppermint tea?” Monet smiles and gently pats Tashigi’s arm, “of course. Peppermint tea is my favorite and Ms. Y/N always has it stocked for me. Despite all the negative things that have been said about her, she’s just a saint. I’ll bring some sugar and milk too.” Tashigi watches as Monet leaves, taking a mental note of the woman’s bird-like movements then looks around the room. There’s a gorgeous fireplace right in front of her and there’s some awards on the mantel along with some pictures. She gets up to get a closer look and focuses on one right in the center, it’s a photo of you with a young man. She leans in a little more to see your arms wrapped around him and he has a graduation gown on but the cap is on your head. The brightness of your smile radiates through the still image and gives it life. She looks at the man in the photo, he looks like he’s in his 20s with tanned skin, dark hair and gray eyes. He has tattoos on his fingers but she can’t make out what they are.

“That’s one of the proudest moments of my life.” Tashigi jumps and lets out a yelp as she turns to her left and there you are in the flesh, wearing a plain t-shirt and jeans and fuzzy bear slippers. “I’m so sorry, I shouldn’t have been so nosy—” just as the apology pours out, you lift your hand and shake your head. “Please, I’m not offended by it. But don’t ask any questions about the picture yet, I’ll tell you more about it and the young man in it when we start our interview.” Monet comes back into the living room with a tray and sets it down on the coffee table. “Ms. Y/N, would you like some tea as well?” Monet asks as she grabs the kettle and pours the hot water into the mug. You smile then walk over to her, “darling, please just call me by my name. How many times do I have to tell you?”

Monet nods and sets the kettle back onto the tray, “Tashigi, here’s everything you need for your tea.” She nods her head then leaves the living room, leaving you and Tashigi. “Ah peppermint tea, Monet’s favorite. Please sit and we can talk a bit, I’m sure you have a lot to ask.” Your movements are graceful as you sit in the loveseat beside the couch and Tashigi has to clench her jaw to fight the urge to let it drop open. She sits down and puts some sugar into her tea and stirs it in before taking a sip and sets it back down. “Why me?” She blurts the question out and you nod. “Good question, but I’ll answer it with another question, why not you?”

She furrows her eyebrows and opens her mouth and you shake your head. “I like to support other women and I saw a bit of myself in you. You hit a wall with your writing and I wanted to help. Plus, I read one of your first published pieces and it was great.” A blush spreads across her cheeks at the praise and she takes another sip of her tea, “thank you so much. So what do you want this to be about? Your movies? An upcoming film? Your life story? Your multitude of lovers?” Your smile drops and her eyes widen. “Excuse me?” You raise an eyebrow and tense up and all Tashigi could think is, I fucked up. That’s it, I’m going to get kicked out. “I-uh…I meant that in regards to the amount of men you’ve been photographed with during the course of your career.”

You sigh and shake your head. “Most of those ‘dates’ were fake. Just another job to bring in more publicity. But I was still labeled as a slut or promiscuous or a whore. That last one is my personal favorite. I mean it’s the easiest one to call a woman, she’s going out to dinner with a different man a couple of times and she’s a whore. But a man does it and he’s praised, he’s a lady killer, a casanova.” You roll your eyes and look at her. “The interview will be about my love life. I’ve had 5 serious relationships, only one predates my fame but each man I will tell you about played an important role in my life. I would also like to uncover the mystery of who my husband is. And I want you to write about everything. I think you could make it a little biography and make good money off of it.” Tashigi chokes on her tea and quickly sets it down.

“A book? You want me to write a book about your life?” She asks while coughing and you nod, sitting up to hand over a napkin. She takes it from you and wipes her mouth. “Why? I thought this was just a cover story.” You look at her then shrug, “actually the cover story is going to be about my family and revealing who my husband is. The other stuff I’m going to tell you about is just an added bonus. You don’t have to release anything yet, you could wait another 40 or so years until I die to write the book. Maybe I’ll have you come back so you can find out every little detail of my life story from my upbringing to who I am today. Sounds fun right?” You smile and wink at her as you adjust your position on the loveseat.

“But finish your tea and then we can get started on the fun stuff.” You smile at her then look over at the picture you caught her examining earlier. A wider smile grows on your lips as you look at it and Tashigi just watches you, totally enraptured by any little thing you do. You glance over at her as she watches you and tilt your head a bit, “you okay, darling?” She blushes and finishes the rest of her tea, setting the mug down. “Yes I’m fine, I guess I’m still a little star struck. I’ve watched all of your movies, read all the articles about you and listened to all your red carpet interviews and podcasts. I just can’t believe that someone like me is getting such a deep look into your life.”

You laugh at her words and sit up a bit straighter. “Well believe it because I don’t want anyone else to hear it. There’s vultures out there who will pick at every little aspect of my life until there’s nothing but a skeleton left. From the pieces I’ve read of yours, you seem far from that type. Just don’t prove me wrong. Do you want some more tea?” Tashigi looks down at her empty mug then shakes her head. “No, thank you. One cup is more than enough for me. And I won't let you down.” You stand up and move closer to her, placing a hand on her shoulder.

“Don’t let yourself down, write your ass off. I’ll be right back, I’m going to get myself a bottle of water.” You gently squeeze her shoulder and walk away. She watches you walk to your kitchen and shakes her head. How can someone make plain clothes look like luxury wear? She thinks to herself and stands up when you come back with your water.

“Come follow me to the study.” You wave her over and lead the way down the hall. She looks at more of the decorations on the walls, some more finger paintings and fancy art but a lot of the spaces on the wall are bare. As if someone took down the pictures that were there. You look back at her and smile, “Monet and I took some of the family pictures down. Can’t spoil the secret just yet.” You wink at her and open the door at the end of the hall.

As Tashigi enters your study, only one thought swirls in her mind: I’m in for a hell of a ride.

You look back at her and smile, “Monet and I took some of the family pictures down. Can’t spoil the secret just yet.” You wink at her and open the door at the end of the hall.

As Tashigi enters your study, only one thought swirls in her mind: I’m in for a hell of a ride.

a/n: ahhh! i’m super excited for this project and it’s a little challenge for me since i have a horrible habit of never finishing the series i write. welcome to the introduction, i hope you enjoy!! (don’t worry the good stuff is coming in the next part!)

It all started as a typical day. Tashigi was at her desk, finishing up her latest story when Smoker came. She didn’t even notice he was lingering until her earbud was taken out of her left ear. “I’ve been calling your name for the past 10 minutes, Tashigi…how many times do I have to tell you to only have one of these things in your ear?”

Heat spread across her face quickly as she blubbered over her words. “I’m so sorry—”, she couldn’t even get her apology out because his large hand was lifted. The universal gesture to just shut the fuck up. She nodded and pressed her lips into a thin line to prevent herself from saying anything else.

“Good. You can listen. Now come to my office.” He stood up straight and all she could do was sit there. The first thought that rang through her mind was, I’m getting fired. She hasn’t produced any worthwhile articles these past few months at G5, just some bullshit tabloid pieces you read when you’re at the doctor’s office and your phone died. Tashigi downed the rest of her lukewarm coffee on her desk then got up and walked to Smoker’s office.

Is this what death row inmates feel when they’re walking to the executioner? She thought to herself as she stood in front of Smoker’s door, she knocked twice then entered the room. Behind his comically large desk, Smoker sat with a cigar between his lips. It wasn’t lit yet but he chewed on it just a bit. “Come on sit.” He grunted out and she made her way to the chair in front of his desk, her mind was running wild with thoughts.

Great, I’m getting fired and he’s having a celebratory cigar. The thought was already swirling around her head as she watched him with the cigar between his lips. Smoker opened one of his drawers and took out a lighter and another cigar. “Here. This is for you.” He took the cigar from atop his desk and held it out to her. She hesitated for a moment before shaking her head, then the words came spilling out. “Look, if you’re trying to placate me with a cigar, you don’t need to. I’m a grown woman and I can handle this news. If you’re going to fire me just go on and do it.”

Just as the words left her lips, her eyes widened behind the red frames she always wore and she sat there with her mouth agape. Smoker raised his eyebrows and set the cigar down next to the lighter. Then he just laughed. It was deep and hearty, a sound that was very unusual coming from him. After a moment he caught his breath and took the lighter, bringing it to the cigar between his lips and lit it. “This is actually a celebratory meeting. I want to say congratulations in advance for your upcoming story.”

Her eyebrows furrowed and she finally shut her mouth. “What?” She tried to think back, she didn’t receive an email with a new assignment yet and Smoker never congratulated anyone before. “What?” She repeated the word and he took a deep inhale before letting out the puff of smoke. “You’re going to interview one of the most secretive actresses out there. I just got an email from Caesar at MADS Entertainment.” He turned on his desktop then turned it around so she could read it.

From: Caesar C. Lown

To: Smoker

CC: Vergo, Yarisugi

My client has expressed to me that she finally wants to do an interview. The specifics of what she wants to discuss is unknown to me but there is only one non-negotiable:

Tashigi MUST be the one to interview her.

She will not accept anyone else and if anyone else shows up at the door, my client will gladly tell them to kiss her ass and shut the door in their face.

Tashigi’s eyes widened once again when she read the email. Caesar? MADS Entertainment? There were plenty of actresses that were signed to that agency and she filtered through each one. “Before you go back to when the agency was first founded, I’ll give you the answer. You’re interviewing Y/N.” If Tashigi’s eyes were wide before, they were about to pop out of her head at this point. Smoker takes another puff from his cigar and nods, “I know. I thought it was a joke at first but I confirmed it with Caesar. For some odd reason, she wants you. Now, will you take it?” She freezes for a moment before nodding eagerly, “of course I will! I’ve seen so many of her movies, my favorite is A Love Long Lost when she played a divorced mother finding love again. I’ve cried every single time I watched the movie.”

Smoker takes another puff of his cigar then taps it into the ash tray on his desk, “sorry to burst your fangirl moment Tashigi but we don’t want to blow this because you’re a huge fan of hers. You need to rein it in and you need to take this seriously. She doesn’t do interviews like this, especially ones concerning her love life. As you may already know, she’s been seen with plenty of men ranging from other award-winning actors to what upper society considers the help. One day she popped up with a wedding ring and no one can piece who she’s married to. Then four years ago she had a baby bump. Then a couple months later she was pictured with a swaddled baby, she hasn’t even shown the kids face so the kid must look like her husband.” He takes another drag from his cigar and tilts his head back as he sighs, “what I’m trying to say is, this is the best opportunity for you and your career but it can also destroy you. If you set her in a bad direction then we lose the cover story and honestly, I won’t be able to fight for your job here.”

Tashigi’s heart sank to her stomach at the realization. She had been so excited about the interview that she didn’t realize the stakes. “High risk and high reward, right? I won’t blow this, I promise you.” Her gaze steels as she looks at Smoker and he nods, “I hope you don’t. Let me give you Caesar’s contact information so you can schedule the best time to start. And Tashigi, don’t fuck this up.” He forwards the email to Tashigi as she makes her way back to her desk. Her mind is running with thoughts.

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆

The days following go by in a blur of schedules, phone calls and emails. Finally she gets the confirmation she needs a week later. The interview will be conducted in your townhouse in Brooklyn on a Saturday morning.

When the day finally approaches, Tashigi feels like her heart is going to beat out of her chest. She spent the night before going through all your filmography, reviewing all the tabloid pictures of you with different men, rereading past interviews you’ve done, just studying you. On the drive over to your home she listened to a podcast you did after your most recent movie release. Your voice was soft and gentle as you discussed navigating around being four months pregnant and filming scenes that showed off your body. Tashigi knew from the first film she saw that you starred in why people loved you, you had this air to you that drew people to you. Then your looks just topped it off, curves in all the right places, your alluring eyes that could switch from innocent to sultry in the blink of an eye, everything about you could’ve been sculpted.

Before she knew it, her GPS announced that she was at her location. She found a great parking spot and once her car was parked she grabbed her bag and got out of the car. Now out of the car, she adjusts her glasses and fixes her hair before trekking up the steps to your front door. Her hand trembles as she rings the doorbell and before she can put her hand down, there’s someone opening the door. A woman about her age with green hair and piercing eyes opens the door, “hi, you must be Tashigi. Come inside, I’m Monet.” Monet holds her hand out for Tashigi and she hesitates for a breath before taking it, “pleasure to meet you.” Tashigi stutters out as she shakes the other woman’s hand then Monet opens the door wider to allow her to walk inside. “Follow me.” Monet leads the way inside and Tashigi’s eyes shift around as she walks. There's expensive paintings decorating the walls along with professional photos of you from different films and award shows and a few finger paintings, obviously done by a child.

Monet leads Tashigi to what is presumably your living room then gestures to her to sit down. “Ms. Y/N should be here shortly, would you like something to eat or drink?” Tashigi sits down in the middle of the large couch then looks up at Monet, “could I have a tea? Is there peppermint tea?” Monet smiles and gently pats Tashigi’s arm, “of course. Peppermint tea is my favorite and Ms. Y/N always has it stocked for me. Despite all the negative things that have been said about her, she’s just a saint. I’ll bring some sugar and milk too.” Tashigi watches as Monet leaves, taking a mental note of the woman’s bird-like movements then looks around the room. There’s a gorgeous fireplace right in front of her and there’s some awards on the mantel along with some pictures. She gets up to get a closer look and focuses on one right in the center, it’s a photo of you with a young man. She leans in a little more to see your arms wrapped around him and he has a graduation gown on but the cap is on your head. The brightness of your smile radiates through the still image and gives it life. She looks at the man in the photo, he looks like he’s in his 20s with tanned skin, dark hair and gray eyes. He has tattoos on his fingers but she can’t make out what they are.

“That’s one of the proudest moments of my life.” Tashigi jumps and lets out a yelp as she turns to her left and there you are in the flesh, wearing a plain t-shirt and jeans and fuzzy bear slippers. “I’m so sorry, I shouldn’t have been so nosy—” just as the apology pours out, you lift your hand and shake your head. “Please, I’m not offended by it. But don’t ask any questions about the picture yet, I’ll tell you more about it and the young man in it when we start our interview.” Monet comes back into the living room with a tray and sets it down on the coffee table. “Ms. Y/N, would you like some tea as well?” Monet asks as she grabs the kettle and pours the hot water into the mug. You smile then walk over to her, “darling, please just call me by my name. How many times do I have to tell you?”

Monet nods and sets the kettle back onto the tray, “Tashigi, here’s everything you need for your tea.” She nods her head then leaves the living room, leaving you and Tashigi. “Ah peppermint tea, Monet’s favorite. Please sit and we can talk a bit, I’m sure you have a lot to ask.” Your movements are graceful as you sit in the loveseat beside the couch and Tashigi has to clench her jaw to fight the urge to let it drop open. She sits down and puts some sugar into her tea and stirs it in before taking a sip and sets it back down. “Why me?” She blurts the question out and you nod. “Good question, but I’ll answer it with another question, why not you?”

She furrows her eyebrows and opens her mouth and you shake your head. “I like to support other women and I saw a bit of myself in you. You hit a wall with your writing and I wanted to help. Plus, I read one of your first published pieces and it was great.” A blush spreads across her cheeks at the praise and she takes another sip of her tea, “thank you so much. So what do you want this to be about? Your movies? An upcoming film? Your life story? Your multitude of lovers?” Your smile drops and her eyes widen. “Excuse me?” You raise an eyebrow and tense up and all Tashigi could think is, I fucked up. That’s it, I’m going to get kicked out. “I-uh…I meant that in regards to the amount of men you’ve been photographed with during the course of your career.”

You sigh and shake your head. “Most of those ‘dates’ were fake. Just another job to bring in more publicity. But I was still labeled as a slut or promiscuous or a whore. That last one is my personal favorite. I mean it’s the easiest one to call a woman, she’s going out to dinner with a different man a couple of times and she’s a whore. But a man does it and he’s praised, he’s a lady killer, a casanova.” You roll your eyes and look at her. “The interview will be about my love life. I’ve had 5 serious relationships, only one predates my fame but each man I will tell you about played an important role in my life. I would also like to uncover the mystery of who my husband is. And I want you to write about everything. I think you could make it a little biography and make good money off of it.” Tashigi chokes on her tea and quickly sets it down.

“A book? You want me to write a book about your life?” She asks while coughing and you nod, sitting up to hand over a napkin. She takes it from you and wipes her mouth. “Why? I thought this was just a cover story.” You look at her then shrug, “actually the cover story is going to be about my family and revealing who my husband is. The other stuff I’m going to tell you about is just an added bonus. You don’t have to release anything yet, you could wait another 40 or so years until I die to write the book. Maybe I’ll have you come back so you can find out every little detail of my life story from my upbringing to who I am today. Sounds fun right?” You smile and wink at her as you adjust your position on the loveseat.

“But finish your tea and then we can get started on the fun stuff.” You smile at her then look over at the picture you caught her examining earlier. A wider smile grows on your lips as you look at it and Tashigi just watches you, totally enraptured by any little thing you do. You glance over at her as she watches you and tilt your head a bit, “you okay, darling?” She blushes and finishes the rest of her tea, setting the mug down. “Yes I’m fine, I guess I’m still a little star struck. I’ve watched all of your movies, read all the articles about you and listened to all your red carpet interviews and podcasts. I just can’t believe that someone like me is getting such a deep look into your life.”

You laugh at her words and sit up a bit straighter. “Well believe it because I don’t want anyone else to hear it. There’s vultures out there who will pick at every little aspect of my life until there’s nothing but a skeleton left. From the pieces I’ve read of yours, you seem far from that type. Just don’t prove me wrong. Do you want some more tea?” Tashigi looks down at her empty mug then shakes her head. “No, thank you. One cup is more than enough for me. And I won't let you down.” You stand up and move closer to her, placing a hand on her shoulder.

“Don’t let yourself down, write your ass off. I’ll be right back, I’m going to get myself a bottle of water.” You gently squeeze her shoulder and walk away. She watches you walk to your kitchen and shakes her head. How can someone make plain clothes look like luxury wear? She thinks to herself and stands up when you come back with your water.

“Come follow me to the study.” You wave her over and lead the way down the hall. She looks at more of the decorations on the walls, some more finger paintings and fancy art but a lot of the spaces on the wall are bare. As if someone took down the pictures that were there. You look back at her and smile, “Monet and I took some of the family pictures down. Can’t spoil the secret just yet.” You wink at her and open the door at the end of the hall.

As Tashigi enters your study, only one thought swirls in her mind: I’m in for a hell of a ride.

Good morning, my pretty firework 🎆 it's morning here, and I haven't had breakfast yet 😪

Anyways... SELFSHIP QUESTION TIME! What pet names do you and your f/o call each other? 🎤

Have a great weekend ahead! 💕

🚀

Good morning my love! I hope you had your breakfast!

Shanks: I call him captain in multiple variations (my sexy captain, my darling captain, etc.) and he calls me angel or cutie

Corazon: I call him my lover boy and he calls me munchkin and squishy

Semi: I call him my rockstar and he calls me his pretty baby

Kusakabe: I call him honey bun (he acts like he hates it) and he calls me brat

Ikkaku: I call him my baldy (he hates it but doesn’t stop me) and I call him my love and he calls me his lucky charm

And I hope you have an amazing weekend!!!

[semisgroupiev]

You think my greeting is cute? I'm happy~ *blasts off into the sky 🎆*

Ahem... Anyway.

Selfship question: Pick one fave from each fandom you're in and tell me what summer/summer festival activities you two enjoy most. 🎤

🚀

P.S. do you have some beauty marks or freckles? Also how long is the length of your hair, and is it wavy or something? ✍🏻

Ooh this is such a good question!!

For one piece I’ll pick shanks, our favorite summer activity would be going to the amusement park. Specifically going on the Ferris wheel at the end of the day when the sun is setting (it’s his idea but he wants to play off like he’s not trying to be romantic)

For hq I’ll of course choose my semisemi, our favorite summer activity would be a picnic in the park. He’ll bring his guitar and strum something while I eat the rest of the strawberries we packed (and I’ll feed him some from time to time)

For bleach I’ll choose my baldy ikkaku, our favorite summer activity is going to the beach. He insists on my burying him in the sand then complains when he gets a sunburn on his head at the end of the day (he refuses to let me reapply sunscreen on him)

For jjk I’ll choose my underrated lover kusakabe, our favorite summer activity are movies in the park. He’ll have the schedule memorized once they’re released and he’ll have everything ready for us (snacks, blankets and inflatable chairs)

I have one small birthmark under my right eyebrow thats kind of shaped like a square. And my hair is right in the middle of my shoulder blades (so I guess it’s a medium length?) and it’s curly but I have looser curls so I think it falls under 2C/3A type curls

[semisgroupiev]

Greetings, my pretty firework 🎆 it is I, your baby rocket, asking you some few selfship questions in a few minutes xD (I'm currently at work and just popping by your inbox 😭😭😭)

But first, describe yourself. Also some picrew ✍🏻

🚀

Hi my baby rocket!! Your little introduction is the CUTEST!!!

So some things about myself, I’m an Aries, I love music (I know how to play 3 instruments), I absolutely love thriller books and horror movies, I love naps so much I take a nap almost every day, and I like to collect things (pens, pokemon cards, and now little glass/plastic ducks). And I’m also a perfectionist (and I’m a bit too critical on myself sometimes)

And here are the picrews! I wish I had the links to them they’re so cute

just something about sokka; 18+ vouyerism

everyone is leaving now and sokka had been sent to fetch you from the river. he creeps up and he hates that he did. your back is turned to him, with the water stopping at the soft swell of your ass. his cock stirs and he knows he should say something, alert you to his presence so you can protect your modesty but that thought flies out of his head when you turn to face him, your naked chest on display for his greedy gaze. he watches several trails of water race down the slope of your breasts, their path obstructed by the stiff peaks of your nipples.

sokka chokes quietly, uncharacteristically speechless and your eyes find his form hidden in the brush.

"sokka," your voice calls to him, the cadence wrapping around him like a siren's tune. "i see you, come out."

"uh, w-we're about to head out." he stammers as he steps out from behind the shrubs.

"thanks!" you chirp, starting to walk forward and Sokka gulps already turning his back as if he wasn't just ogling you shamelessly before. "hand me that towel, please?"

he makes a show of covering his eyes before grabbing the towel and thrusting it out. you skirt back and he dares a peek when he notices you haven't taken it.

his face flushes before he's covering his eyes again.

"stop teasing me."

here’s the masterlist post and header (I’ll publish it very soon)

starring: aang x firebender!fem!reader

contents: smut, (ab)riding, brief make-outs, missionary, p in v, burning (m.receiving), lowercase intended.

notes: exam is over, back to fiending. tagging ruby @potterjacksonsworld because she been feeding me and stay letting me yap in her inbox. res. tag: @maplewood-valley

telling aang you wanna ride his abs and he's immediately flustered, even a lil confused, the poor baby.

"are you sure?" he questions as you lay him down on the bed; he goes willingly because he's down to try anything once. he just worries about how you'll get pleasure from it.

"mhm, just trust me." your smile is easy as you slip your underwear off and aang isn't even going to pretend his eyes aren't glued to your slick and glistening folds. his breath comes out ragged when you move to straddle him, yours hitching when your clit catches on a refined divot on his abdomen.

you cant your hips forward and aang exhales a puff of air, hands immediately finding home on your hips as you start finding a rhythm. arousal starts a slow drip from your slit and onto his stomach as your fingers press into his pecs and curl.

you shift around, finding that bit of friction that you so desperately need and aang can tell when you do, if your near relieved gasp and quickly warming fingers is anything to go by.

"feel good?" his grip on your hip tightens and he starts rocking you forward, cursing lowly at the feel of your creamy slick leaving a shiny mess on him. his other hand flits along the hem of your top, nearly ripping it in a rush to get it off once you agreed. then, his big hands are cupping your breasts, squeezing just so that you're arching into him with a whimper.

"keep going." he urges, thumb swiping your nipples then tugging, making your hips stutter, bumping back against his erection that's heavy and insistent in his pants. you can't help reaching back to grasp the full length of him, to feel him throb in your rapidly warming palm.

he lets you pull out the weight of him, but only allows you one firm stroke before he's reaching for your hands again and guiding them back to his chest. at your indignant huff, he just chuckles "that wasn't what you wanted."

one hand grips your ass, fingers digging into the plush skin there as his other hand slips between you, slender digits wading through the steadily building wet spot you're leaving behind with each grind. when it's satisfactorily coated, his lust blown eyes hold yours as he brings the fingers to his lips, sucking them off to taste your precum without an ounce of shame.

this is perhaps what started it, where the patience started to dwindle. Your fingers start to spark from where they're still pressed to his chest and aang groans at the feeling, at the sputtering of heat along his peachy skin, the sizzles bubbling along the surface as now both hands come up to rest on your hips.

"gonna move you." is all the warning you get before you suddenly pinned beneath him. sparking hands now moved to his neck, you're pulling him down for a very deep kiss as his fingers find your clit, thumb caressing the throbbing nub before it's replaced by the tip of his leaking dick. he's a tease as he drags it down the seam of your pussy, to let it purposely catch on your entrance. a bite to his lower lip and he knows not to tease anymore.

he pushes in and it makes you both tense for a split second, your labored breaths mingling together as he buries himself snug. the tiny bursts of flames are still erupting from your fingers and they gutter and die out on aang's skin making him shudder at the sensation; he says it doesn't hurt most times, just feels like a very strong pinch.

neither of you rush this moment, not even he hooks on of your legs over his shoulders to grind deep inside you, it's slow and filthy, the kind where you both can hear the sounds of your slick, sees it froth around the base of his cock with each outstroke.

with your teeth in his shoulder and burning hands on his chest, is how he cums. you know he's close because those powerful hips start to falter in rhythm and then there's fingers on your clit again, spurring you on for your hips to chase, while your walls clench again and again around him. his chest stings, his skin sizzles, your legs chase as your orgasm crashes into you. aang is never far from following you over the precipice, the light of his tattoos a glowing beacon as he spills hot inside you, the ropes of pearlescent spend coating your insides and mixing with yours, only for him to fuck it back inside you.

"less mess," he says before shifting and looking down at his chest, your gaze following his to see the array of finger-shaped burns you've left behind.

"it's fine, I promise." Aang placates with a kiss before he moves to clean you up and yes, you shamelessly ogle him while he does.

he merely gives you an eye roll but you absolutely see the light blush on his cheeks, as if he wasn't just balls deep in you a moment ago; the duality of man, you guess. when you're both cleaned up, he's back to lying between your legs, head pillowed comfortably on your breasts.

"nope," you smack his head. "we're supposed to try that new recipe together."

"one nap," he bargains, eyes squinting. "I'm so tired, baby." he drawls dramatically and he knows you'll give in because you're always going on and on about him needing more sleep.

"fine," you sigh and move to get up, carefully trying to hide your smile. "you nap and I'll go do it."

"no," he pouts. "wasn't what i meant." he traps you by sinking his body weight further on you.

"one hour." you say in what you doubt is a stern tone because aang just pulls you in for another kiss that you immediately melt into.
