Genuinely what is the point of genderneutral!reader if youâre just going to assign the reader body traits associated with whiteness in the end?
Like why does being neutral only stop at gender? If your goal is to be inclusive, then why not be neutral with race/body descriptors as well?
To be clear, I am not demanding anything of anyone. As a writer, youâre free to write however you wish and portray the reader however you see fit. But as a black reader, I cannot help but wonder why this is such a common occurrence in gender neutral reader inserts (and well, reader inserts in GENERAL, to be honest). Are you trying to cater to a general audience or not?
Also, why block me then sub post about me @thewritetofreespeech for providing feedback when your blog rules literally state âFeedback and comments are not required, but encouraged.â I was very respectful and only wanted to suggest how you could make your readers feel more included, but I see youâve received it as hate instead, something that Iâm learning is rather typical of white women in fandom spaces when it comes to any form of critique.
DreamWorksâ Shrek was first released on May 18th, 2001.
The song âAll Starâ by Smash Mouth, heard in the opening credits, was only placed in the film for test audiences until a new song could be found. But test audiences loved it, and the producers kept it in. When the producers decided to keep âAll Starâ they decided to let the band sing the last song in the movie, âIâm a Believer.â (x)

How about some dating headcanons for Weather Report?
A/n: ugh this was kinda shit but whatever, I tried to be as in character as possible but probs gotten more occ as I went along.
Being forcefully dragged into the ghost room by the likes of Emporio or Joylene where you met Weather Report was the catalyst of your relationship believe it or not.
Intimidated by him at first you soon learnt that Weather was in fact a sweetheart for a man of few words. For starters his habit of standing on his tippy toes was absolutely adorable to you yet you sometimes wondered how he could stand on them for so long without straining a muscle or otherwise. His piercing blue eyes whilst seemingly all knowing were also as unbearably lost due to his amnesia. So whenever he rested he head against your shoulder or within you lap as your laying down, peering up at you like a cat awaiting long overdue affection, you found yourself caving quite quickly to his silent demands of your love.
His love languages would be quality time and slight physical touch, though the second one was more or less behind closed doors rather then explicitly in public. Such as snuggling up against one another in the Ghost Room whereâd you listen intently as he read novels with his deep, baritone voice, sending you adrift in sleep in a matter of seconds. Not that heâs ashamed or anything but more so out of his concern that it would disrupt your comfortability; he has a tendency to put your well being and safety before his own which you feared would become his Achilles heel
Weather reassured those worries with hushed sweet words and reassuring squeezes all the while remaining firm eye contact with you as if trying to convey his every emotion into them so youâd understand that if he were to die knowing he had succeeded in protecting you from harm, heâd be happy to subsume to his wounds.
Obviously not getting the point of your concerns, youâd lightly smack his bicep telling him that wasnât what you meant before going into a tangent on who was gonna read TV guides with you and such. All the while not noticing how his stormy blue eyes seemed to lighten in colour and a smile spread across his lips the longer you went on, touched at the impact his presence had on you during a short amount of time into dating him.
Heâs protective, insanely so when it comes to you that anyone he believes poses a threat to your safety is being glared down as he walks besides you, placing a arm by your side, drawing you into his side all without letting his eyes leave the person for a single second. It may or may not also be an excuse for him to hold you so closely under the eyes of other inmates, will he admit to it? Yeah just solely for the fact that heâd watch your expression change into a flustered one within a blink of an eye.
Touch starved to hell and back so at first when you laid a hand against his shoulder or brush up against his side, he stiffens like stone before relaxing into it until sooner or later he craves it like a drug and would find and matriculate ways where heâd be able to feel your touch once more. Heâs slick with it but youâd always tell him that he doesnât have to put such effort for something he couldâve just asked for but Weather likes the reaction they get.
During times of stress you always knew you could count on Weather to bring you back to reality. It pains him to see you so lost in hard times, feeling as though you were being pushed closer to the edge by your own two hands and in times like these weather would take you to a less populated room and just hold you against his chest, allowing you to hear his heart as he held your hand against his chest to remind you that he was there to brave this with you before pressing kisses into your skin.
He has a way with words i believe that I wouldnât put it past him to write cute little well written letters and get them to you somehow. They would consist of things that reminded the man of you, right down to the littlest detail, and how he longed to hold you in his arms as you both drift off to sleep within each otherâs presence after particularly rough moments, that left you a little more loved with each and every re-read.
Donât contradict me but I firmly believe that he smells like how grass would smell after rain with some hints of natural musk. Itâs relaxing that when in a sleepy mood you would cling to him, head buried deep into his neck as you breathed him in slowly to linger on this feeling for as long as you could before you were forced to separate.

ââââââââââââ
The sound of little pearls scattering onto the floor accompanied the press of your spine against the inside of Neuvilletteâs front door as his mouth consumed yours.Â
You were panting, hands roaming over each other as your tongues danced. Youâd never kissed like this before. The polite pecks youâve given men after failed dates were nothing compared to the way Neuvillette drank in your lips like they were the finest water in the world.Â
His large, lean body pushed you against the fine wood of his door, hands pressing up into your hair as he pulled your face ever closer, scattering more little pearls along his entryway.Â
âDo youâŚâ he panted, lips never leaving yours for more than necessary. âTruly want tea?â He asked.
You smiled as he continued to kiss you breathless. âTea can wait.âÂ
He picked you up and hoisted you against him once more, your bottom resting on his forearms as he twirled you around, making you giggle and squeal.Â
âYour perfection knows no bounds.â He murmured against your lips as he began to move towards the stairs.Â
You wrapped your arms around his neck as he carried you up the stairs and down the hall, but he hesitated before bringing you into what you guessed was his room.Â
âAhâŚâ he said, a deeper blush working its way into his pale skin. âI forgot about my⌠well you seeâŚâÂ
You smiled, pulling him closer to press a peck to his lips. âWhat? I can hardly imagine your room is messy, Neuvillette.â
He closed his eyes tight, opening the door to set you down inside. You turned, looking around the room.Â
A very large four poster bed was the main focal point of the room, lush sheer curtains hanging from the tall frame, making it seem luxurious and inviting. But the piles of silks, pillows and blankets surrounding the mattress making a large circle in the center was what stood out the most to you. Taking a step closer, you could see there were little things scattered throughout the barrier, the gloves youâd gifted him last month, a few shirts and coats, little trinkets and things here and there.Â
Your brow furrowed before you turned to look up at him, finding him looking between you and the bed with a hand covering the lower half of his face.Â
âIt looks likeâŚâ you glanced back at the bed. âIt looks like a nest?âÂ
He breathed, nodding, pinching his temples in embarrassment. âWhen you were last here, we spoke of some subtle changes Iâd been experiencing since gaining my full dragonhood, yes?âÂ
You nodded, walking towards the bed to run your hands along the fabrics making up the walls of the nest.Â
âIâve been experiencing strange urges, instincts I cannot seem to control no matter how hard I try.â He said lowly, somewhere behind you.
The blanket you ran your hands across was soft, fur of some sort, and it felt so luxurious you wanted to bury your face in it and never leave its soothing embrace.Â
âUrges?â You said, feeling a heat pool between your thighs at the thought.Â
âYes.â His voice was suddenly right by your ear, his heat pressing up against your spine. âFor example, right now, seeing you next to my bed, admiring my nestâ it makes me want to pick you up and place you within it so that I may crawl over top of you to do deplorable, feral and unspeakable things to you.âÂ
A deep, spine tingling shiver raced through you. You knew the general direction of where this was headed when you begged him to take you to his house, but never in your wildest dreams did you expect Neuvillette to admit something so⌠dirty⌠so openly.Â
You turned, meeting his eyes with a gasp as you came face to face with a version of your leader youâd never seen.Â
He was flushed, panting, his eyes glowing in the moonlight streaming into his dark room. His horns were glowing too, their blue hue radiating behind him as he loomed over you. To anyone else it mightâve been intimidating, but you felt so safe in this moment, so satisfied to know that he wanted you.Â
âIâŚâ you wondered how you should phrase this, how to make him understand that you were not put off in the slightest by any of these changes in him. To you, he was still Neuvillette. His draconian quirks made him all the more desirable because it was just another part of him.Â
âIâd like to help you satisfy those urges, if youâll let me.â You said, looking up at him through your lashes.Â
Very suddenly, he dropped to his knees, his hands clutching at your dress. The act startled you, and you stumbled back, bumping into the walls of fabrics lining his nest.
âI am undeserving,â he whimpers, and your legs nearly give out at how broken he sounds in this moment, looking up at you. âI know not how to pleasure you in the way you are so deserving, I only have these instincts, these feelings pushing me to take.âÂ
He stumbled forward, almost blindly on his knees as his eyes kept yours locked to him. He pushes his face closer to your core, inhaling deeply against the fabric of your dress, his eyes fluttering back.Â
âAnd you always smell so sweet, it eats at my very soul to not taste you at every moment of every day.â His eyes look like theyâre watering, begging and pleading as he keeps talking, keeps sending waves of pleasure to your core with every word spoken.Â
âYou deserve more than this animal Iâve become, but I cannot help that you undo me. You unravel the very stitching that I have woven over these past five hundred years and the thought terrifies me becauseââ heâs panting, chest heaving, hands gripping the crushed velvet of your gown. âBecause I want you so completely, so entirely. My want for you consumes my very being.âÂ
Your heart sings, because how could it not? You didnât have very much experience with anything like this eitherâ really none at all. And he was worried? He was worried he was too much? Not enough? This man was the sovereign ruler of a nation. The elemental dragon of your land, a primordial being with more power than you could even begin to fathom.Â
âOh, Neuvillette,â you brought a hand to cup his cheek, the very same action you made the last time you were in his home, comforting him. âWill you do something for me?âÂ
He clutched you closer, pupils nearly consuming his irises. âI would drain the seas if you told me you did not favor the way they glimmer in the sunshine. I would blot out the sun if you told me you did not enjoy the heat on your skin. Anything, my dearest. Anything for you.âÂ
âGive in to it.â And you swore you could feel the breath catching in his chest. âTake me and give me everything your heart desires, because I am already yours.â
âTruly?â He pleaded, seeming so small below you.
You nodded, speaking softly to him as you ran your fingertips across his cheekbone. âFrom the moment I entered your office Neuvillette, Iâve been yours.â Â
Your world flipped upside down as Neuvillette lunged, tackling you over the wall of his nest and into the bed.Â
He kissed you so deeply it stole your breath away, you gasped as he pulled back to mouth across your jaw, nipping at your throat.Â
You noticed his teeth had grown sharper during your fervent kissing, but feeling those teeth drag like little daggers against the delicate skin of your throat made you shiver with something like fearâ but it was laced with arousal, with anticipation.Â
You moaned as he licked and sucked on your neck, and he whimpered above you, clutching your waist as he went.Â
âI'm sorry, Iâm sorryââ he said between kisses along your skin. âI canât control myself, I can'tââÂ
You reached up, grabbing his face in your hands, making him look at you.Â
âNeuvillette, listen to me.â His eyes fluttered between yours, searching.Â
âWhen I told you I love you, that means I love you without conditions.â You said, leaning up to kiss his lips gently. âWhich means I will love you when you are poise and regal, when you are the perfect gentleman, but I will also love you when you are not.â
You could see iridescent blue scales rising into his skin, framing his eyes so beautifully. You could see them form around his throat, and his horns continued to glow. When he told you he was becoming undone, you knew he was serious, but you didn't realize what exactly that would entail.Â
He was beautiful. Raw and open and completely yours.Â
âI will love you even if you are rough, or crude, or selfish. I will not watch you suffer against your instincts when I so desperately wish to see you dive headfirst into them.âÂ
The subtlest of tears formed in his eyes, and the rain continued to batter the windows outside, pouring down around youâ the perfect symphony to accompany this moment.Â
âI love every aspect of you, Neuvillette. Even this. Please,â you whispered, pulling him ever closer to your lips. âPlease, just take what you need. Take me.âÂ
âââââââââââ
He does not remember how your dress and petticoat managed to find themselves sprawled across his bedroom floor, or when his gloves and shirt followed, but he does remember the delightful squeak you gave when he tore them from your body.Â
You were shy, of course you wereâ but he was having none of that, gently and selfishly pinning your arms against the bed as his eyes consumed your body, your naked skin.Â
You squirmed and whimpered underneath him, and part of Neuvillette worried that you werenât enjoying yourselfâ but the closer he came to your lower half the more he realized that the source of that mouthwatering smell was coming from between your legs, and his mouth did indeed water.Â
You had told him to let go of his restraint, to give in, but he had the sense to keep part of himself in check, knowing he needed to be somewhat gentle, attentive to your needs.Â
What knowledge he did have of this process was from books, and even then, he thinks the last time he read a romance novel was likely over a century ago.Â
He knew basic anatomical structures, their functions, but putting it all into practice was another thought entirely.Â
Through his lust filled haze of admiring your naked body, he swallowed the drool pooling in his mouthâ so barbaric.Â
âTell me,â he panted. âTell me how to make this pleasurable for you.âÂ
You were so red, it fluttered down to your chest, and he watched as your breasts heaved with each breath. He wanted to wrap his lips around them, suck on the delicate skin, so he did.Â
You whined as he leaned down, and he loved the feeling of your hands mussing up his hair, pulling his golden circlet away and tossing it into the void that had captured the rest of your clothes with a clattering sound.Â
âYou, ahââ your breaths were heavy. âYou have to work me open. So you donât tear me.âÂ
He gripped your waist again, licking and sucking gracelessly across your chest, just enjoying the taste of your skin.Â
âHow?â He asked, tonguing his way down to your navel, slipping his tongue around the skin of your adorable stomach. Your skin tasted like pure relief, calming the aching fever inside of him one motion of his tongue at a time.Â
âF-fingers?â You said, looking down at his hands. He looked too, and you both seemed to notice at the same time that his hands werenât exactly⌠normal anymore.Â
Those pesky scales had wound up coating his hands too, he could feel them aching around his eyes and throat, his nails forming long black claws that dragged the faintest red lines along your perfect skin.Â
âHahâ yeah,â you breathed a panicked laugh, making his chest flutter with anxiety. âMaybe no fingers this time.âÂ
âWhat about my tongue?â He said, looking between your eyes and the apex of your thighs. He wanted so desperately to make this good for you, but he couldn't deny that the thought of tasting that delicious smell directly from the source was a more than appetizing idea.Â
You groaned, throwing your hands up to cover your flushed face. âYou say it so casually, tooââÂ
âWould you enjoy it if I used my tongue, darling?âÂ
He watched your thighs clench the best they could with him between your legs, and your hands started shaking. Â
âYes,â you whimpered, hands still covering your heated face. âYes please.âÂ
Your thighs quivered as he shifted down, his nostrils flaring as he came face to face with your covered core.Â
There was a small damp spot on the soft cotton covering you, and he brought his nose directly to it, inhaling deep and groaning as you whined.Â
He was truly drooling now, and the desire to taste you became too overwhelming for him to wait any longer.Â
The cotton was shredded off your body in delicate ribbons in the wake of his claws, but before you could react, his tongue was already swiping over the entire length of you.Â
âOh!â Your back arched sinfully off the bed, your hands gripping into his hair as he swallowed and sucked and licked over you. You tasted like perfection. No water in the world could taste as crisp and pure as you didâ like sweet ambrosia, like everything he never knew he needed until now.Â
He tongued over your clitoris, and you seemed to like that the most, keening out as he increased the pressure. But you said you needed to be worked open, which meantâŚ
He pressed his tongue lower, circling it around your twitching hole. You jumped, your nails scraping his scalpâ making him moan into you. Your fingers flexed around the base of his horns, and his whole body shuddered as he listened to you whine and keen.Â
He pressed in then, eyes blowing wide as a warm, tight heat enveloped the tip of his tongue. His hands gripped your thighs, pushing them further, pulling himself closer to press more of himself inside you.
âNeuvillette!â You gasped out as he pushed in further. Even so, He couldn't help but feel like it wasnât enough, like you needed more.Â
Just as that thought crossed his mind, his tongue seemed to expand, thickening and rolling out into your twitching walls even further. Heâd never felt a change like that before, but he kept going, moving and undulating it within your tight heat and savoring the taste of you so deep.
âHolyââ you screeched, âOh my Archons!â
A deep, chest rumbling growl reverberated from where Neuvillette was pressed into your core, and even though he knew it wasnât truly a problem, something inside him did not enjoy hearing those words slip from your precious lips.
But you told him to let go, so he truly did lean into his instincts.Â
He pulled his tongue from within you, letting its new length dangle from his mouth a bit before licking up all the slick that had smeared across his face, delighted at the way your eyes popped and your mouth gaped open.Â
âThere are no pathetic gods here, little one.â He growled, that primal aching welling up in his chest. âOnly me.âÂ
âN-Neuvillette,â you stuttered, hands grabbing at his hair as you tried to pull him between your legs again. âPleaseââÂ
âBetter.âÂ
He dove back in, using the new length of his tongue to thrust in and out of your dripping hole. He could feel your soft walls relaxing, and a deep, rumbling purr pulled from his chest as you writhed and moaned beneath him.Â
Tasting you like this, feeling you move and cry out beneath his hold⌠it was slowly soothing the ache inside of him that had been tormenting him for months. He could feel himself twitching in his pants, his cock pressing against the confines as it leaked all over the fine material of his pants and briefs.Â
In the back of his mind, he was grateful he had enough of a grip on his form to not be sporting one of his more⌠alarming draconic features, surely that would frighten you far too much to continue. Well, perhaps another time.Â
He continued his thrusting, working you open and relishing in the wetness coating his tongue, in the way you cried out his name, your fingertips brushing against his horns as you pulled at his hair. It only served to make him drool more, soaking you even further.Â
âNeuvilletteââ you keened as he arched his tongue upwards, feeling your walls clench and quiver around him. He repeated the motion, making you slap your hands down to the bed beside you, grasping at the sheets as your eyes popped wide.Â
He continued to press against the spot that seemed to make you fall deeper into your pleasure, his eyes never leaving your face as he thrust his tongue with vigor, watching as you quivered.Â
Yes, something inside him purred, watching you lose yourself. Keep going, take it from her.Â
He felt the moment your walls tightened so completely that he thought something might be wrongâ only to watch as your face shattered into a broken sob of pure delight, your whole body twitching as you cried out. Your thighs tried to clamp around his head, but he pressed further, working you through it with his writhing tongue.Â
After a few moments of him working you through the height of your pleasure, you grasped at his hair again, only now you were pushing him back, gasping as your body violently twitched.Â
âToo muchââ you squeaked. âT-too much!âÂ
He pulled back from you, licking your remaining juices from his lips as he watched you regain your breath.Â
You threw an arm over your eyes, your every breath heaving in your chest as parts of your body twitched in the aftershocks.Â
He crawled over your body, nuzzling into the crook of your neck as he purred and murmured against your skin to comfort you.
âYour taste is divine,â he whispered. âBetter than I ever could have dreamed, and my dreams were always drenched in your image.âÂ
âIââ you sighed, finally pulling air into your chest unlabored. âI dream of you too.âÂ
âOh?â He purred, smiling against your skin as he ran his hands down your arms. âAnd what exactly do you dream of, dearest?âÂ
You smiled, staring up at the ceiling and avoiding his gaze with flushed cheeks.Â
âYour eyes.â You whispered, glancing down at him. âI dream of the way you look at me.âÂ
âââââââ
You knew this was going to be a lot.Â
Neuvillette is not a small man by any stretch of the imagination, but you always figured he would at least be a reasonable size â whatever that may be.Â
Clearly your expectations were a little on the small side, because when he unbuttoned his trousers, pulling them down and off his body, exposing his naked skin in all its glory, your eyes ached with how wide they were staring openly at the apex of his creamy white thighs.Â
Flushed a ruddy purplish red at the tip, it was literally leaking as he knelt between your spread legs. It twitchedâhe mustâve noticed your staring, and you chewed on your bottom lip, wondering how in all the abyss you were supposed to fit that thing inside of you.Â
Neuvillette was panting. He looked irrevocably desperate, like he was ready to burst at the seams at any moment.Â
âNeuvillette,â you whimpered, spreading your thighs further for him.Â
He hadnât touched you since he took his pants off, just staring down at you as you drank him in, watching your reactions.Â
âAreâŚâ he seemed strained, like the words themselves pained him. âAre you sure?âÂ
âPlease,â you whined. âPlease, inside me, I want you inside.â
He seemed to bite back a groan, eyes roaming over your soaked core, your blush traveling down your chest. He leaned forward, pressing a kiss to your lips.Â
It was delicate, loving, nothing like the unrestrained devouring before, but it still seemed like he was holding himself back. A beautiful bowstring pulled taut, ready to snap.Â
âNeuvillette,â you murmured against his lips. âPlease, I want it. I trust you, I want you, please.âÂ
Your pleading seemed to stir him, and you could feel the hot press of his length against your aching hole. You didn't know what it would feel like, the anticipation making you tense up and hold your breath.Â
âBreathe, my love.â Neuvillette said, though he himself was shaking as his hands held him up above you. âRelax, breathe.âÂ
You released a breath and the tension from your spine, melting into the pillows as he chose that moment to breach your entrance, the slick pooling out of you allowing him to slide the crown in with no resistance.Â
You keened, your back arching as you felt the first push. âAh, fuck! Fuck!â
Neuvillette was still shaking, his voice quivering and yet he still found it within himself to chuckle, low and deep as his eyes fluttered across your face, drinking in your pleasured reactions.Â
âSuch vulgar language,â he breathed. âWhereâd my polite little assistant go?âÂ
You swear your eyes were about to bulge out of your skull as he pushed another inch in, slowly, his body vibrating above you in restraint.Â
It wasnât hurting, but the stretch was so intense it was turning your brain into mush. You never swear in front of Neuvillette, gods, you never curse in front of anyone but Wriothesley, but your brain seems to short circuit as Neuvillette enters your body one delicious inch at a time.
You were thankful you told him to stretch you out, thankful for that gods forsaken tongue that just came out of nowhere, long and thick and surprisingly serpentine. Â
âP-politeness isnât reallyâŚâ you tossed your head back in the blankets as he sunk in further. âIsnât really my main focus⌠r-right now.âÂ
âAh, yes.â Neuvillettes words spoke confidence, but his voice was shaking, his arms vibrating as they held him above you. âWe have more pressing things to focus on at the moment, donât we?â
You groaned, half in embarrassment at his wordplay and half at the way he pulled out a bit just to press back in further.Â
He just licked up the column of your throat, that ridiculously long tongue making your whole body shiver in delight as he pressed in further.Â
âHoly fââ you grabbed his forearms, leaning up the best you could to look down at where your bodies were connected. âHow much more is there? Itâs so⌠soâŚâ
Your stomach flipped at how much you still had to go, how little your brain could comprehend that this weapon was supposed to fit inside you.Â
âDo you need me to stop, my darling? Is it too much for you?â Neuvillette breathed against your neck. His words spoke one thing, but it was like his body was screaming for you to say anything but.Â
âNo!â You panicked a bit, wrapping your arms around his neck to pull him against your lips, kissing him filthy. âPlease, donât stop.âÂ
It took a couple more minutes of gentle thrusting, the rough texture of this thumb swirling against your throbbing clit and some very messy kisses, but when his hips finally pushed flush against yours, your eyes rolled back in your head, mind finally vacating all thought in favor focusing on how blindingly full you felt.Â
âOh,â Neuvillette breathed. ââMy darling. My sweet, sweet girl.â His hips were frozen, probably taking in how you clenched around him, because you could feel itâ the way your walls fluttered and squeezed around his length as he remained motionless.Â
He twitched, and you keened, wrapping your arms around his neck to bring his face level with yours, panting into his mouth. âPlease,â you whined. âPlease move.âÂ
He shuddered before hesitantly bringing his hips back, watching your every breath as he pressed forward again.Â
The deep, guttural moan it pulled from your chest must have flipped some kind of switch within him, because all sense of hesitancy seemed to drain from his body as his hips began a desperate rhythm, smacking against yours.Â
âAh!â Your back arched, eyes rolling into your skull as he finally, finally fucked you. âNeuviâ Neuvillette!â
His eyes seemed glazed over with emotions, looking down at you with so much wonder. His expression was strained, breaths coming short as his hands snaked down to your hips, leaning back up and away from your grip.
The change in angle, though minuscule, drastically altered the way his cock pummeled your insides. It was intense before, your mind was nearly floating in the cloudsâ but now his cock bullied itself along your most sensitive spot and pressed so deep within you, you were sure you could nearly taste it.
âPerfect,â he breathed. âMy perfect, perfect girl. So warm and tightâ it's like you were made to take me.âÂ
Your brain had exited the atmosphere, and was now drifting away into the deep nothingness of space. You swore you could feel your orgasm welling in the pit of your core, making your legs shake where they were perched on Neuvillettes hips.Â
âItâ it feels so good,â your words were starting to slur, your vision hazy with unshed tears of pure ecstasy as you blinked up at him. âI n-neverâ I never wanna stop. I want this forever.âÂ
His hips never faltered, not even once as he shuddered and groaned, the sound making you clench down around him even more. His hands gripped your waist tighter, the black claws digging into your skin, sure to leave marks.Â
A possessive sort of noise rumbled from his chest, his eyes flaring with need.Â
âIâll give you all of myself until the end of time,â he murmurs, voice full of deep, rasping need. âTell me youâre mine, Iâll give you everything.âÂ
Your heart welled, your eyes blinking tears as your legs shook harder.Â
âIâm yours,â you cried. âI love you, Neuvillette. Iâm yours.âÂ
He pushed at your legs, hands grabbing your thighs to press them up and forward, nearly folding you in half as you sobbed out in pleasure. Your body ached, your orgasm now on the very precipice as he managed to fuck into you even deeper than before, and you didnt know how it was possible.Â
âAgain.â He growled.Â
âIâm yours!â You keened.Â
His hands pressed harder into your thighs, his face leaning closer to yours. Through your haze, you could see how his pupils were blown wide, consuming all of his otherworldly irises. You could see how deeply he looked at you, drinking in your trembling form.Â
âMine.â He whispered.Â
And that was all it took for the fraying cord inside you to snap.Â
You screamed into the darkness of his room, writhing and shaking as it pulsed through you, all consuming and more intense than anything youâd ever felt in your life. He gasped, muttering something in a language you didn't recognize as his hips stuttered. He pushed you through it, the mind melting pleasure pulsing out into your limbs, making you go limp into the bed.Â
His eyes were wild, and his pace slowed, hands holding onto you like you would slip away if he didnât.Â
âMy love,â he moaned, desperate as the fluttering aftershocks worked through you, your body twitching in the sensitive overstimulation. âMy love, I want toâ I needââ
âInside me,â your voice cracked, hoarse from how loud youâd been in your revelry, but it only seemed to spur him on. âPlease, inside me.âÂ
And within the last three stuttering strokes, he was gone, his forehead pressing into yours as he leaned forward and moaned, long and wrecked and obscene. It made you flutter around him, milking him absolutely dry as he filled and filled and filled you.Â
You could feel it, hot and heavyâ each jerk of him inside you coating you further, marking you in white, in the deepest places as his.Â
He was mumbling, his face moving to press into the curve of your neck and shoulder. Dazed, you couldnât tell what he was sayingâ whether he was speaking in another language or if you were just too out of it to register his words.Â
You lifted an arm to rest on his back, feeling the heat and the sweat of him. Unfazed, you drag your hand up and down his shoulder blades, relishing in the feeling of his skin, his breath as he murmurs against your neck.Â
As your breath finally steadied in your lungs, no longer struggling, you ran your hands through his long, luscious hair, fingertips ghosting his horns.Â
âIâm sorry,â he finally said aloud, clear and in a language you understood. âIâm sorry.â
âWhat for?â You smiled, trying to get him to look at you. When you finally pried him from the crook of your shoulder, your heart skipped a beat at how flushed he still was, how guilty he looked.Â
It was then that you realized he was still inside you, still hard as before, twitching and throbbing as he held himself above you.Â
âYou begged me to take you,â he breathed, clawed hands pulling at the sheets. âAnd I canât help but crave more.â
ââââââââââââ
The sun had just begun rising over the dewy cypress trees by the time Neuvillette sat in the warm bath, cradling you in his arms.Â
You twitched and groaned in displeasure as he ran the washcloth along your heated skin, but he couldnât help but feel a strange sense of pride at the marks scattered along your body.Â
Heâd been too afraid to hurt you, but after the moan you let out when his teeth accidentally scraped across your collarbone during the second round, (or was it the third?) heâd lost all sense of decency. You seemed to like them as well, and you certainly liked when he ran his tongue across the red and purple splotches to soothe them. So, câest la vie.Â
Your head lolled against his shoulder, you were barely conscious at this point, and he wanted to feel guilty, he really did. But youâd begged and begged and begged for him to take what he needed, how could he refuse?Â
He pulled the glass bottle heâd brought from the cooler to your lips, stirring you a bit to prompt you to drink.Â
âPlease, my love. You need to rehydrate.â He smiled at the way you pouted, But opened your lips to take tentative sips anyways, your eyes still closed.Â
He watched a trail of water slip past your lax lips and run down your chin and throat, his eyes carefully following the movement. He swallowed deeply, willing away the erection that was still threatening the dark corners of his willpower.Â
He could honestly keep going, he couldn't get enough of you, but you were still so fragile, so incredibly mortal. He knew that he had to stop, give you a moment of reprieve. Force himself to behave until your sweet voice would sing to him again, begging him for more. He licked his lips at the thought.Â
âAre⌠are your urges⌠satisfied?â You mumbled as he pulled the bottle away. You cuddled up to him, so sleepy.Â
He thought very carefully on how to reply to you.Â
âFor now, yes. They are, darling.â He finally said. âBut I believe I will always desire you as strongly as I did thenâ as I do now, still.â
You gave a sleepy smirk, your eyes still closed as you snuggled closer to him, your bare skin pressed so beautifully against his.Â
Thisâ this was perfect. He didn't think anything else could compare to the feeling of being inside you, so connected to your body and in tune with your emotions. But this⌠being with you, holding you and caring for you⌠it was just as beautiful. His heart felt full, and for the first time in months, he didnât feel restless.
âI meant what I said, you know.â He said, kissing the top of your head.Â
You sighed wistfully. âWhich part? Because when you said you were going to âspend the rest of your existence finding new ways to make me shatter into millions of delicious little pieces,â I was rather inclined to believe you.âÂ
He felt his cheeks heat a little. âAh, well. I meant all of that too. But Iâm referring to something I said earlier on in the evening.â  Â
Your voice was wavering, and he could see sleep pulling at you, tugging you into its embrace one sleepy blink at a time. âWhich part, my love?âÂ
His chest still fluttered at those words, despite both of your endless proclamations of devotion and love last night, he was still so blissful at the prospect of being yours, of you being his. His love.Â
âThe bit where I told you that I would give you all of me until the end of time. That Iâll give you everything.âÂ
âMm,â you said, eyes closed and words loose. âI know.âÂ
He ran his hands along your back, his skin finally calmed down closer to the end of the night, his scales and claws retracting and freeing his fingers for nefarious purposes. But now, he was enjoying feeling your smooth skin against his own.Â
âI have things I must do, duties to this realm beyond that of my role as Iudex. It will be a long and perilous road, a road uneasy for myself and those I love. But in this, as in every other aspect of my lifeâ I feel as though if you stood beside me, it would lighten the burden. You make every part of my life better, and I would be honored to have you beside me for the rest of time.âÂ
He wasnât sure how, but if he could free the people of Fontaine from their curse, surely he could find a way to keep you with him, if you so wished.Â
âYour voice is pretty,â you sighed. âI love you,â you were mumbling, and he realized you were already rather deep in the clutches of sleep, likely not even hearing a word heâd said.Â
He smiled, breathing out a sigh as he kissed the top of your head once more.Â
Doctors who want to ease your nerves, so to help you relax, he makes you cum on his fingers. His gloved hand is shoved so deep inside that you canât help the way your back arches off the chair, pushing your body closer to him. Your moans fill the room, bouncing off the walls.
"Shhh, poor thing,â he coos, looking softly at your shaking figure. âDonât worry, Iâll make you feel so good."
His fingers feel so thick, gliding in and out of you. Youâre trying to keep quiet, knowing there may be nurses passing by, but the way heâs spreading you open with your fingers leaves you a moaning mess.
âDonât stop, please; Iâm so close,â you whimper.
Your hand clings to his white coat, desperately pulling him closer. He leans down to you, pressing wet kisses on your skin. A soft chuckle vibrates against your skin when he hears how you beg for him.
âSo wet for me,â he groans.
He can feel himself getting impossibly hard listening to the sounds of your squelching hole.
âWant you to make a mess for me, okay?â His voice is so soft.
Any anxiety you felt is long gone. Your eyes are wide when you meet his gaze. He makes you feel warm all over. Your stare moves down to his fingers, which are moving in and out of you at a quick pace.
"Ah, ah, ah, back up here, baby, I want you to look at me.â You feel dizzy.
His stare is constant. He wants to see how good heâs making his patient feel. He needs to see the look on his favorite patientâs face when you finally cum on his fingers. His finger curls into you as he hits the spot that has you clawing onto him, whining about how close you are.
"Yeah, come on, let go for me,â he whispers, "but donât you dare take your eyes off of me."
Your hand moves around, knocking over tissue and a box of gloves as you attempt to grab onto something. You never wouldâve thought one appointment to get a physical would lead to you with your leg on your doctor's shoulder while he pushed you to an orgasm.
"Fuck, look at you drooling all over my hand.â His eyes look up at your face, covered in bliss, too far gone to focus. "It makes me want to have a taste."
He leans down to your core and takes a deep breath.
âYou even smell tasty." He leans close, his breath fanning against your warmth. âOne lick wonât hurt."
His tongue feels warm, gliding between your warmth. He licks at your clit humming a satisfied tune to your taste.
âYou drive me so crazy,â he moans in between licks.
âYou come into my office with these short skirts all the time,â he groans. "And you expect me to keep my composure?â he tsks as if disappointed. "You need to learn your lesson, donât you?"
He sucked your clit while his fingers continued fucking into you at a constant pace.
His mouth was driving you crazy. You gripped his hair, calling out for him.
âCome on, baby, let me get a taste.â His groans vibrated against your core. Your fingernails dug into the seat as you neared your orgasm.
You see stars as his tongue continues licking long strips up and down your core.
âThatâs it, just like that. Let go for me; you're doing so good."
His praises make you shake. Your body trembles while your juices spray wildly, dripping down his chin and spilling into his glove-covered hand.
He pulls away with a pleased smile.
He rips the glove off and tosses it away.
âYou did really well today; I think Iâd like to see you next week⌠for another check-up.â

neuvillette likes to buy you flowers.
he doesn't necessarily have a favorite type of flower that he likes to purchase for you, because to him, it's the plant itself that reminded him of you.
for one, when he looks outside the window to catch the neat, sprouting garden outside your home, the sun rays shimmer gently along the various petals, rainbow roses stretching and slowly opening its eyes to the soft tickle of warmth.
to neuvillette, it felt the same as when he hears your voice whisper a honey-like "good morning" first thing during sunrise, and he wishes he could explain to you just how much the sound of your voice gave him butterflies and hope.
one part of him was on fire when you begin to smile as you realize he had bought you a bouquet full of blossoming lumidouce bells again.
to neuvillette, your grateful smile was resembling a warm gesture that was widely manifested in a garden scented with the fragrance of nectarous flowers, various plants going crazy when they receive the warm affection of the sun.
now, the man was calm and peaceful knowing that you liked them and that when he wasn't here with you, there was at least something that would always remind you of him.
you move towards him, slanting close, settling on his lap, and it makes his heart skip a beat when you leisurely wrap your arms around his neck to pull him into a quick kissâ because you see, every time he connects with you physically, neuvillette felt like you were a piece of him that had been missing perpetually.
neuvillette moves his tongue gently until you forget yourself into his trace, savoring the moment as he runs a finger along your thigh. you shift your hips a little to move closer, a wave of felicity shielding your bodies before the man decides to break the kiss as to catch his breath.
restraining his bliss for a moment, the iudex reminds himself that work had been awaiting him.
he takes your hand and squeezes it gently, "i assume you like the flowers?" as he questions lightly, even though he fully knew the answer to his own questioningâ yet his mellow voice was so full of passion like it was attempting to burst his lungs, unable to exclaim the deep gratitude he felt.
you snicker back, quite absorbed in watching him blush vividly after one kiss, "you ask if i like them? i love each and every one of them," you continue, sounding sweet to his ears, "thank you, i will take care of them while you're gone,"
your gentle lips pass a smile, and you admire his eyes, see and notice how they had been cosseting your own.
this love, it wasn't like one you had encountered in the pastâ because the one you shared with neuvillette was an union of souls and hearts and minds, not something you could put under a microscope and understand immediately, because simply put, it was too complex for that, strong and unbreakable.
pure love, like a liquid which descends from the clouds in rain with your body feeling differentâ bouncier, more energetic.
feeling happy.

When all you fanfic writers grow older than your fictional crush I hope you guys continue writing for them as "Milf/Dilf reader x char". I swear I'll be your no.1 fan then because my biggest fear is growing older than my fictional crushes and then not being able to simp for them on the same level as now because the fanfics with the readers being in their 20s would start feeling too young for me. Lol or maybe I'm just too emotional
i love you levi. more than i would ever be able to put into words. you are the most grumbly, blunt, and rude person iâve ever come acrossâŚbut youâre also the single most empathetic and selfless person i know. you are so in tune with what it means to be human. you observe people, you read people and itâs like youâre always aware of what everyone is thinking. i envy that about you, the quietness you have that lets you delve deep into humanity in a way i donât think many others are able to. youâre compassion is astounding and i donât think you ever realize it. but i guess that is what makes you so amazing. you came into my life at the perfect time, youâve taught me what it means to love without question. i know you donât like to be called a hero. but you are mine. i couldnât ask for anyone better, i know youâd hate me saying this but to me you are perfection.

neuvillette craves love.
he thinks that the human language is strange, itâs unusual how three simple words could form such a sentenceâhow all he needs is a subject, a verb, and a complement to describe how empty his heart feels and how heavily his chest gnaws at his psyche when his mind is awake.
he didnât use to be like this. the war has turned his steel heart to wax and his scales into human skin, but the ache in his bones acts like a new friend that turns his mind away from the deaths and screams of his fallen comrades, so he doesn't mind the emotions that come with his impurity.
a hand suddenly touches the book he reaches for, and he retracts out of instinct.
âahââ your mouth is agape in surprise, âi'm so sorry, i didn't realize you wanted it too!â
he blinks. the elemental energy you house in your body, curling and wisping like untamed tendrils of fire around you, tells him you're different, even if you don't even notice it.
âno, i apologize,â he steps out of the way quickly, âit was my mistake.â
ââŚthank you,â you pause for a moment just to look at him before you bow your head slightly, âi've been looking everywhere for this.â
âhow come?â curiosity never was his biggest vice, but it was never one he wished to quell, either.
âmy father was a poet in his own right,â you smile faintly, and neuvillette feels his heart grow warm, âthis was his favorite book.â
âi see.â he nods, understanding exactly why you, of all people, had decided to approach him, ââŚ.i will see you soon then, pyro sovereign?â
the shock on your face is enough to confirm his theory, and you flush slightly, smiling as you tilt your head to the other side. âi guess that nothing has ever really slipped past you, neuvillette.â you try to cover up your embarrassment as you add, âitâs quite a beautiful name, by the way, it suits you well.â
as you leave, he wonders what your new name feels like on his lips.
âdo you ever wish we were ever made for more?â
neuvilletteâs mouth parts at your question, and he inhales the oxygen that surrounds him. âwhatever do you mean?â
itâs one of those nights again, you think, when your thoughts decide to torment you for reasons unknown to the rest of your consciousness. with your contaminated mind came the emotions you desired and the emotions you never cared forâperhaps humanity in itself was a package deal that you couldnât escape no matter how hard you tried.
ââŚitâs funny,â you laugh. itâs bitter, but yearning, he notes, âwhen humans die, they think of the most important moments of their lives; they think of their loved ones, their happiest and their saddest moments, the fondness and affection that theyâve gained and lost in their short time in teyvat. do you want to know what i thought of when i died?â
he remains silent.
âi thought of nothing.â you smile. bitter, but yearning, he notes again, âi had no family to call my own, no personal relationship to love me at my worst, no friends to make the frost that death brought feel warmer. i thought that humans were inferior to us dragons, but weâve been reborn as second-rate humans, have we not?â
he has all too much to say, yet all too little at the same time. being reborn is a blessing and a curse all at the same time, one that he could never wrap his head around despite his age, but you tackle it fearlessly. that's always been who you were, he supposes, even if he had never noticed it until now.
âjust because we are not human,â his voice tests the waters unsteadily, like a boat that rocks and shakes against the waves it crashes against, âdoes not mean that we cannot feel the things that humanity feels.â
heâs living proof, isnât he? with every day that passes, he grows to love the humans he now serves more and more, for he thinks itâs the simple things in life that make it that much more precious (not that he could ever understand what a simple life was when he was a dragon anyways). he enjoys helping the farmers dig their crops out of the earth, dusted in soil and dirt, he enjoys strolls around the construction of the new court, the citizens laughing and dancing to the sound of a bardâs flute, he enjoys watching you play hide and seek with the cityâs children and the new archon, focalors.
"perhaps you are right."
even now, just watching the night sky with you after a long dayâs work is far more rewarding than anything the vishaps could ever hope to give. his fall from pride and grace had been ugly at the start, but with the anger that faded, beauty entered his life; why would he have it any other way?
"perhaps i am not."
neuvillette was reborn to serve the country of fontaine, but lately, his dedication has been slipping somewhere else. is it such a sin to feel? is it that wrong to love?
all he really wants to do is hold you, to wipe your tears and shoulder your pain, to protect you from the life of hurt that haunts every day of your life; what he wants to do isn't what he can do, and what he can do isn't what he should do, but if he's been reborn, he should be able to spare a moment to live for himself, can't he?
ââŚi want to love,â your voice cracks, âall i want is to love, and be loved.â
if you two were still dragons, he would burn at your touch, and you would extinguish at his.
your elements themselves (hydro runs through his body as he watches you, even now) couldnât be more incompatible, but it seems that youâve replaced your physical warmth with emotional warmth, because how else could he explain the way he feels when heâs with you? your finger inches slowly (but ever so desperately) towards his as you stare at the moon longingly, wrapping your pinky against his for a moment before your fingers press flat against the back of his hand, memorizing the mole that dots his ring finger, the grooves of his knuckles, and the flush of his skin before you interlace your fingers with his, squeezing his hand tightly.
âdo you think you can kiss me, neuvillette?â your voice comes out broken and taut, the words that have plagued your mind spreading and warping the tissues in your non-human heart, straining your non-human throat.
"...if i may be so selfish, i believe i can."
under the glow of the moon, you finally feel human.
under you, he obliges to your request (he finds out that heâd sooner burn than live without your touch).
death is a cruel thing to court.
neuvillette had never wished to court death, only you, but it seems like the heavenly principle have found just one more way to punish him for his sin. heâs never wished to be less human more than right now, because even when death pained his heart, this feels unbearable; he wonders what he could've done to deserve this, to be at the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong peopleâto be here with you.
âmy dearest sovereign, please donât look at me like that.â he wishes that you could save your energy to focus on yourself but the blood flows and pills out of your stomach like flowers that blossomed in your gardens, and you laugh, âhow does the song go againâoh yes, hydro dragon, hydro dragon, donât cry?â
my dearest.
the words are enough to make the rain pour down harder, the dagger lying on the road right next to you stained with water and blood, mixed with neuvillette's own tears.
âit hurts less than last time,â you say softly, death's fingers are cold, but neuvillette makes you feel warmer, âi think itâs because youâre here.â
ânow isnât the time to make jokes,â he hisses, borderlining his usual scold, âmedics and healers are on their way, so if you canââ
âiâm notâthose principles really are cruel,â your eyes are unfocused as they stare half-lidded at the sky, âbut iâm thinking, neuvâi'm finally thinkingâ iâm thinking about you, and the village kidsââ
your life as a dragon was muddled with apathy and indifference, your last moments as a dragon were only painful, but this feels far different. even as your breaths get slower, youâre still happy; is this the blessing of humanity? to relive all of your best moments with neuvillette one last time, to play out his soft kisses and chapped lips, to run your fingers through his smooth hair, to fall for him for all of his strengths, to still love him for all of his faults? is this the blessing of humanityâto love him even as youâre dying?
the rain pelts at your face, it's hard to open your eyes but you think it's even harder to look at him. that's the one thing you regret, you think, not loving him more. you only wish you could've loved him more, love him like he loves the people of fontaine, love him like the water that flows down your face and into the fertile soil. your blood will serve this land greatly, it will provide nutrients to plants that grow in your stead, the children that will play in the fields, chasing the butterflies and going on quests. you can almost imagine him centuries from now, smiling down as the adventurers navigate the fields that you loved to lie in.
your father would be disappointed in you for not writing this down, for not documenting the thoughts of poetry that flood your system like a runnerâs high, but perhaps thatâs the solace that comes with death: knowing that your feelings will die with you. the anger you direct to the dragon hunters that cut your time with neuvillette short, the forgiveness you sense that hangs on the temperament of the war thatâs tormented the two races, the fullness you feel in your heart as neuvillette kisses your knuckles firmly, his lips wet from the downpour of rain that heâs causingâthese are your feelings, are they not? territory and gold couldnât compare to this, not in a million yearsâ
â(y/n)?â
âiâll find you again.â
youâre slipping, youâre slipping right between his fingers andâ
â(y/n)?â
itâs the same name that heâs called you for these past centuries, but even though he can hear the inklings of a âneuvillette!â in the back of his head, the pulse (or lack thereof) in your wrist tells him all he needs to know.
like a thief, you leave, and you take a part of him with you.
neuvillette craves love.
he knows that love isnât the word heâs looking for, though, he may not have been well-read enough to understand you, but he understands himself enough to comprehend that a simple love wouldn't be enough. a true sentence needs a complete thought, and he doesnât know if he could ever be complete without you; to say that he craved mere love would be a dishonor to your name, and if there was one thing that he stood by, it was justice for those who had fallen to a fate undeserving of them.
neuvillette doesnât crave love, he craves you.
he craves you in everything he sees, in every step he takes, in every position he holds, in the air he breathesâhe craves you like the waves that crash against the sand, like the otters that play through the night, like the sun that has risen every day for the past century.
he craves you when he's awake, while he's walking through the pouring rain that falls over fontaine, while a small bookstore in the corner of his eye catches his attention. he craves you even as the doorbell dings to signify his presence, the spare droplets of water dripping from his hair to the ground, and he looks around for something to fill the void that you left.
he craves you still when youâre in his dreams, holding him in your lap and whispering sweet nothings into his ear as the qingxin flowers bloom and blossom, reciting phrases of your favorite poems as your voice blends with the wind that whistles and dances in the grass. you invade all of his senses, his pillows couldnât compare to the gentle touch of your fingers against his hand, the water tastes worse without your presence, and the world seems darkerâ
a hand reaches for the same book his fingers touch, and suddenly, you're there again. it's the same perfume you once wore, the same scars you once had, the same nails you once chipped.
how could it be you?
âahââ you retract your hand, your eyes staring at him with wonder, âi'm so sorry, i didn't realize you wanted it too!â
it's that same book of poems you once loved. not the exact same, of course, but the contents remain identical (he wonders if youâll scribble your annotations on your favorites like you used to).
âno, i apologize,â his heart pounds in his chest as he moves out of the way, gesturing for you to take it, âit was my mistake.â
he can't help but stare, how could he not? you're justâŚstanding there as if you hadn't died in his arms eons ago; innocently staring at him with the same eyes that wept until your last moment.
âthank you," you smile gratefully, sliding it off the shelf to marvel at the sewn paper, âiâve been looking everywhere for this.â
youâve been looking everywhere for this book because your heart was drawn to it, and heâs been looking everywhere for you because his heart was drawn to you. itâs always been drawn to you.
âiâumââ your head tilts down in embarrassment, âthis must be so awkward, but have i seen you somewhere? i feel like i know you?â
you do know him. even though your mind has forgotten, neither your heart nor your body has. how many steps did you take to get to him? how many misplaced areas did you call home before you got here?
he smiles faintly, nodding ever so slightly. his chest burns from underneath his clothes, and his lips part, âmy name is neuvillette, i serve fontaine as the chief justice. perhaps that is where you know me from.â
he wonders if you're the same person he used to know, if you still enjoy mindlessly chasing the lost seelies around for hidden treasure, if you still enjoy feeding fish because you like the way they nibble at your skin. he wonders if youâre happy now, with none of the elemental energy that afflicted your past life seeping out of your body as a true human. do you feel things the way you did before? do you feel the same way about him?
âoh, how beautiful! it suits you well, monsieur neuvillette,â you grin up at him, a teasing look on your face as you give out your hand to shake his, âi'm (y/n), it's a pleasure to meet you.â
and just like that, when his fingers touch your skin, the skies seem a little bit clearer.
yall i did so much research for this omg the time iâve spent on the wikis istg⌠(iâve been listening to sad music for two hours straight)
