❀ five hargreeves x gn aroace reader ⚣
A/N: Oh my gods, I'm still alive! XD thanks for your request! I hope you still enjoy this story even though it took a really really long time.
tags/warnings: swearing, reader has anxiety, five has flashbacks; plays in season 1
the best team
Five Hargreeves was a smart and strategic man but he had a soft spot; for his annoying siblings and you. You had started off as partners in the commission and became friends over time. He was the one person you had told about you being aroace - which he could relate to - and he knew about your anxiety.
You were a great team together that always supported each other. You would help him with his flashbacks and he would help you with your anxiety.
And that was about to skyrocket right now. You had helped Five to figure out the right equations to get back to his family and then he was finally able to do the jump - of course taking you with him. But apparently something went wrong because when you landed on the other side of the portal you were both in the bodies of your teenager-selves.
“Fuck, something went wrong”, you heard Five muttering to himself. You were speechless when you looked up from your younger hands to the adults standing in front of you. One of them just asked: “Can you see little Five too?”. Then Five looked up too before his gaze went towards you. You felt like you increasingly couldn’t breathe anymore and looked at Five with wide eyes.
You heard a noise and only when Five hurried to get up you realized that it came from you.
„Okay, listen to my voice. Blend out everything else. Breath y/n. Breathe with me, alright?“
He blocked most of your view towards the adults who didn‘t know how to react yet. He took your hands in his to help you steady yourself - since one of your comforts was touch - and with some more helpful words and methods you calmed down.
Five helped you get up then and went to the door while dragging you behind him and almost seemingly ignoring the adults who were then coming back to their senses.
They followed closely asking what happened or simply repeating his name like they couldn‘t believe that he was right there.
While walking you spotted your reflection in a mirror on the wall and flinched - you really were in the body of your younger self.
You reached the kitchen and Five started making sandwiches as well as coffee for him and cocoa for you.
„What are you doing?“, the tall woman asked.
„And who is that?“, a guy in full black attire added.
„We both need sugar to recharge“, he answered while continuing his work. You were just standing there merely happy that you didn‘t go into full panik.
„And who the fuck is that?!“, the man repeated himself and emphasised it with a gesture towards you.
„That is y/n. We’re colleagues.“
To others this description might‘ve felt offensive. You knew that in connection to you it meant you were trusted friends.
„Colleagues?“, the confusion was clear on all their faces.
Your mind slowly cleared and you started realizing that those people were Five‘s siblings. He had told you quite a lot about them - you were also the only one he had talked to about them.
„Yes“, his answer had a little sharpness in it and your gaze shot up to him. You knew what that meant. He had pulled you out of your panic, now you started doing your best to prevent him from having a flashback.
His gaze was already a bit out of focus and his movements slowed down so you hurried to get to him and touched his shoulder carefully.
„Hey, you‘re not there anymore“, you slowly moved him around to the sink and turned on cold water. While you waited for it to be cold enough you pushed up the sleeves of his now way too big suit.
Running cold water over his hands and forearms has always been pretty effective to get Five back in his body. You were relieved when he looked at you after a moment and nodded as a thank you.
You turned off the water and dried both your hands.
“Everything okay?”, one of his siblings asked with his brows furrowed. “Yes”, you answered while Five brushed it off with a wave of his hand.
You helped him finish your snacks and stayed close to calm both of you. When you sat down at the table to eat it his siblings started their questions again.
They had a lot of those and you spent enough time on this table that you leaned on your friend’s shoulder from being tired out. Five put his arm around you to steady your upper body. That way you rested a bit before both of you went to save the world - as the best team you'll ever see.
Queer-Platonic Relationship [🩷] (can be read as romantic)
Short & sweet (Fluff/Comfort)
written in 1st person reader pov
Willing to make part 2 if the people want it👍
“Are you stupid! Those pants look daft, do you want to lose your job?”
“Those look bloody dreadful and NOT in a good way. Get out of my sight.”
The set was busy, I could hear Velvette fussing about the designers’ incompetence from the door. Assistants and models rushed around in a hectic manner desperate to please her or to flee the scene before they became a victim. Today was my day off, but I wanted to see Velvette.
“Hi, Love,” I looped an arm around Velvette’s neck loosely, “are you doing alright?”
“Ugh, not at all, Darling,” Her arms dropped to the side as she leaned into the partial hug, searching for a bit of relaxation.
“How about after this set we go sit down for a bit and have some lunch?”
“That sounds amazing.”
My other arm found her waist as she turned to fully lean into me. I massaged the back of her neck with the arm resting around her shoulder. Her hands circled my waist and hugged for comfort. We stood like that for a few minutes.
Kissing the top of her head I gently push her weight off of me. She frowned, still holding on to me.
“Let's finish this last set of clothing and then we can cuddle, ok?” I reiterate my previous suggestion.
Velvette narrowed her eyes at me, “You better hold up to that promise.”
Hiiiii, congrats on the milestone!! I REALLY like your writing and I've been going through your works for some time, but it's my first time actually requesting SKSNKXAK I'm sorry if this sounds pushy or smth. If it's alright with you, can I request a platonic scenario with reader and Malleus where reader is aromantic/aroace and trying to explain to Malleus that just cuz they don't like him romantically doesn't mean they like him less. Like yk something like "I don't wanna kiss you or get married and have kids and live happily ever after, but that doesn't mean you're not the most important person in my life and I wouldn't do anything for you". This probably implies unrequited crush on Mal's side, but he gotta get over it yk yk. Once again CONGRATULATIONS you'll be celebrating 1000 followers before you know it!❤
🚫 NO Angst UNLESS it ends with fluff/comfort
Unrequited crush falls under the category of angst, since one of the sides gets emotionally hurt. And I feel bad writing about Malleus getting hurt/sad by us (MC/Reader).
However, you didn't specifically ask for the unrequited crush. You asked for an aromantic/aroace reader. I happen to be on the asexual spectrum myself, but I'm not aromantic. So, I wondered in what scenario he would like you but not be hurt/sad by the news. And the idea that crossed my mind was: "What if he found himself also aromantic/aroace with your explanation?" So this is what I wrote. I hope I portrayed it well.
And thank you so much! 😊 I'm glad you like my writing, and I hope you keep enjoying it.
I hope you and all enjoy this one

WORD COUNT: 560 words
You and Malleus are getting closer. And that starts to worry you. You need to tell him as soon as possible, before his feelings get too strong. You don't want to hurt him.
It's not you who finds him. It's never you who finds him. He is the one who comes to you, always. And that is what happens. You see him in front of the Ramshackle Dorm through your window. And he is smiling at you. You just hope you don't turn that smile on your sad face.
You get outside, and head over to him. He greets you with "Good night, Child of Man" and a smile. You greet him back and ask him what is he doing there? Another one of his nocturnal walks?
He confirms, and starts talking about the stars and how beautiful they are that night, making you look at them too.
You decide to start by checking if he likes you that way. “Tsunotarou, do you like me? You know... more than... a mere friend?”
He chuckles “Do you genuinely believe that I would aloud anyone call me by a name like Tsunotarou, if I dislike them? Everyone but you would suffer serious consequences if they ever addressed me in such a way. I hope this is enough to show how special you are.”
You take a deep breath “I need to tell you something.” And you explain in your own way that you really like him too. Just as you are special to him, he is special to you. But you won't be able to express it the same way as others express it. But that doesn't mean that your feelings for him are less strong than the feelings of others. You try to explain it to him as best you can.
Malleus looks pensive, hand on chin and staring at nothing. You worry about his silence. “I don't understand. I mean, I understand the concept you explained to me, but I don't understand why you felt the need to tell me this.”
You explain to him that these kinds of things should be said before the other person's feelings get too strong to hurt them. And the last thing you want is to hurt him.
He smiles. “I certainly appreciate it. But you have no need to worry about that. The truth is that what you just described is the same as I feel for you. I understand that others can show their affection in different ways. But I also don't feel the desire to demonstrate mine in the same way as others. Do people think that that makes our feelings less... valid, perhaps?”
You tell him yes, and try to explain that because most other people feel the need for these types of displays of affection, they come to believe that if you don't show them, then you don't really love them.
He goes back to looking pensive, and a little sad. He sighs “How troublesome. But fascinating. Looks like I truly still have a lot to learn. Perhaps even about myself.” he looks at you, smiling “Worry not, Child of Man. My deepest feelings are the same as yours. And if any being dares to insinuate that they are not strong enough” he raises his hand in that menacing way. “I'll show them how strong pain can feel.”
If you dropped in here out of the blue and want to read more from me, you can find it in my pinned post: INDEX
Arospec urge to write about casual hookups with aro! Kaminari that no one but the two of you believe is casual. And maybe that’s true, maybe it’s more than casual, but it’s definitely not whatever anyone thinks it is.
It’s just is what it is and you two don’t feel like you have to define it
Jamari and/or Agapito with a aro darling extremely stressed with there class workload? -Aro anon
Always a joy to see you posting ^^
Agapito definitely ends up making your stress worse with how much he genuinely doesn't care for any type of school work, but with that said he does his best to help you out,, in his own way of course. Jamari can't stop him once the man starts attempting to assist you, he'll watch from the side lines ready to take the role of damage control.
Agapitos not the go to person when it comes to academics, not a book smart person in the slightest, though when it comes to cheating he's pretty skilled. He's out here with the answers to a major handful of your assignments and some AI help with writing out your papers that are due
Jamari on the other hand is the opposite of agapito surprisingly, he's done his time in college and knows the finals struggle. He's supporting you via snacks and praise when he see improvement on whatever project your working on, not to mention he's the ultimate study buddy, willing to go back and forth with you on whatever subject necessary
Agapito never thought he'd be set aside due to the lack of academic smarts but he does provide a much needed role in this relationship, he's the stress relief, the one forcing y'all to take moments of rest and dragging you to enjoy other things even if you feel you don't deserve it with all the work that needs to get done. Believe agapito when he says you've already done so much, he's been waiting for you two to be finished with whatever class work that's taken your attention from him for what felt like forever.
I am in need of more aromantic mc. May I request an aromantic mc giving romantic advice to Leviathan as they prepares to leave for the night? Buddy can't handle their nerves and needs a friend to help them sike himself up.
Thank you for your time. I wish you a pleasant night. :)
leviathan x gender neutral reader
Leviathan wouldn’t stop moving.
“C’mon,” you groaned out, yanking at his hair. “You asked for my help in styling your hair and now here you are—”
“Sorry,” he mumbled, looking everywhere but you. This would be normal but his eyes were moving to each object quicker than usual, his foot wouldn’t stop tapping the tiled floor, and his arms were wrapped around his stomach.
You sighed, stepping back. “What’s wrong?”
“What do you mean, what’s wrong?!” He exploded, throwing his arms into the air. “We’re going to the Fall and everyone’s gonna be talking and dancing and I’m gonna end up hiding in the bathroom!”
“No, you’re not.” You crossed your arms and gave him a look. “You know I’d drag you out. Besides, I’ll only be a few steps away from you the whole time. It won’t be that hard.”
“But I…” he flushed and looked away, embarrassed.
“But what?”
“I can’t flirt! Asmo and Mammon are gonna be there, getting all these dates and hookups and I’m gonna be the loser brother,” Leviathan whined and leaned over the sink. His lower lip pouted out. You rolled your eyes.
“Have you seen Mammon flirt? He’s not taking anyone home tonight.” Leviathan cracked a smile at that.
It didn’t last long though. He faltered and looked to the side. “But… ugh. What do people like?”
Why was he asking you? You squinted at him. This role always fell to you for some reason.
“Well, people usually like someone who is confident in themselves.” You watched as Leviathan wilted right on the spot. You winced. Maybe that hadn’t been the right thing to say. “Listen. You’re cute and hot. You just need to act confident for a single night. You ever hear the phrase ‘fake it ‘til you make it?’”
“Yeah, but it doesn’t work.”
“Yes it does! Sixth grade, english class. I had to give a presentation. My teacher loved it. I miraculously made it to the bathroom before I—”
Leviathan flailed his arms before he returned to his slumped state. “Ugh, stop! TMI! That’s not even the same either. You can’t equate giving a presentation to trying to talk to someone!”
“Sure you can. You just gotta get all the points in the categories you need.”
“You’re insane. You are worse than ME!”
You shrugged and grinned at him. “You asked for advice from me. You got what you asked for… Alright. Listen, I’ll help you out on the floor tonight, find you someone or whatever, but I get something in return.”
“Like what?” Leviathan frowned and stood up straight, suddenly serious. You poked him in the cheek, smushing his cheek in.
“I dunno. You’ll see. And I just remembered! You’re in luck. I know a bunch of men and some women who would like a pathetic little worm like you.”
“Pathetic?! WORM?” Outrage and then acceptance. “Umm…. Yeah. Are they nice?”
“You’ll have to go to find out.” You looked at his hair. The two of you were running out of time, so he’d just have to pull off the messy hair style. You ruffled your hand through it, ignoring his protests.
The two of you started to walk towards the door when Leviathan grabbed your arm. “Um… thanks. I’ll try and talk to them.”
You patted his arm before you remembered. “Please don’t mention your hobbies to anyone though. That’s something you only tell on your twelfth date.”
Being Aromantic and raising a kid with Kaz Brekker Headcanon
A/n: So Inej and Kaz are together in this fic, and this is just an platonic! Kaz Brekker x reader headcanon! Nothing further! Also being aro in this fic isn't necessarily a big thing but I kind of headcanoned the reader to be aromantic so...
Warnings: The barrel, bad parents, illusions to abuse, violence, I think that's it? You have been warned!
Pronouns used: No pronouns for reader, for the kid I used she/her pronouns
- okay so Inej is over seas and with how much I think her and Kaz will make great parents (I think they'd adopt) she is still over seas and this kid is from the barrel
- the kid is like seven or nine and she's been through it all
- terrible parents, been swindled, terrible men, you know she just got the full on Ketterdam experience
- so it was only a matter of time before she ended up in a gang
- that's where Kaz comes in
- he see's her about to met an untimely death
- this happens lots in Ketterdam though and Kaz couldn't save every kid no matter how much he wanted to, plus he still had a reputation to up hold
- but he realizes before he goes to walk off that she fights extremely good
- especially for her age
- so he steps in to help fight off the rest of the men and he offers her a home
- he doesn't really look at the kid, mostly in fear that he'll scare her
- sometimes he forgets that he's human
- when he does though
- he's gone
- he takes one good look into her eyes and he instantly falls for her cuteness
- so when you see Kaz Brekker with a kid into the Slat by very gently leading her into the Slat having the most kind and gentle look on his face you nearly die of laughter
- then you look at this girl and then you get it
- she's so cute, and broken you could tell just by looking at her that she was so stronger, and yet shattered by the world
- the girl (for some reason) takes on look at you and runs into your arms
- you hug her and then she smiles at you and then stands next to Kaz not touching him, but close enough that she was hovering
- the kid seemed to catch on to Kaz's touch aversion somehow and limited the touching to holding hands at most
- this kid is fucking smart
- you and Kaz exchange looks and that's when you both know you guys would do everything in your guys's power to help this kid
- of course you couldn't take her out of the barrel, and the safest she would be was with you two, believe it or not
- you didn't want this kid to go down the same path Kaz had gone down for revenge and you didn't want her to do the same thing you did either
- yes, you both were going to teach her how to fight but that was mandatory if you were living in the barrel
- even though she already knew how to fight lol
- eventually the three of you became your own little family
- there was nothing between you and Kaz but a strong familial bond and your kid understood that
- one time she called Kaz Dad and you burst out laughing
- Kaz's face was so red
- the girl seemed ready to hit herself over the head in embarrassment
- so Kaz nudged her with his cane (gently of course) and just nodded at her indicating that ya, you can call me dad
- so yes your guys's kid did call Kaz dad
- the first time Inej met the kid she was over the moon
- she loved this kid so much, nearly as much as you
- and she understood why you two had decided to take her in and Inej didn't care that you were partially raising a kid together
- actually she thinks it's good for Kaz and that he has another friend, and perhaps a new sibling
- your kid calls her aunty
- okay then wylan and jesper met the girl
- they are really skeptical
- like kaz raising a kid? and with someone who isn't inej like what the fuck?!
- once you both explain the situation
- they become this kids favorite uncles
- they're the ones that take the girl in when you both have to go on jobs, or really long heists
- then Nina meets her
- nina is this girl's best friend
- you may be her parental figure
- but nina and your kid have girls nights out, if the kid is into that they'll paint their nails, if she isn't they might go out shooting with uncle jesper (and wylan to supervise)
- Nina also tells the best stories
- sometimes she'll even tell stories about matthias if she's up for it
- also she's the one that points out to you and kaz that you're basically raising this kid
- wasn't able to talk to each other with a straight face for weeks lol
- one time
- the kid is like ten, eleven ish
- and she asks you if you need to have a romantic partner
- she understands that you and kaz aren't together even if your are her parents
- but she doesn't quite understand why you don't have anyone of your own
- "Dad, has aunty Inej. I was just wondering if you had anyone, or if you needed to have someone."
- most would say this girl is really smart (which she is) but it isn't actually that hard of concept let's be real
- so you sit her down and you talk about being aromantic
- she just nods her head and smiles
- "That makes so much more sense!"
- later in life when she's a teen she comes out to you as aro
- saints, you are so proud of her
- you helped her come out to kaz with a flag draped over her shoulders
- kaz nearly cried he was so happy and proud of his kid
- his exact words were; "I don't have to scare any potential s/o from the slat fucking yes I'm proud of you!"
- the first pride parade in Ketterdam is set up because of him for the two of you

QPR (Queer Platonic Relationship): Any sort of relationship that doesn’t fit normal relationship labels. Examples of this might be friends who get married or adopt together but aren’t in a romantic relationship.
- Mista had never heard of a QPR before you introduced him to the concept. After that he was super excited about it, especially to rub in the rest of the Bucci Gang’s faces that you had a special bond.
- You two share the same bed and will occasionally cuddle. Mista sleeps on the right and you sleep on the left. He will kick the blankets off in your sleep.
- He likes to show off about how cool the two of you are and how “we don’t need labels”. At first you were worried that he might be preforming for the rest of the group but as time went on you realized he shared that same enthusiasm when you two were alone.
- Mista adores to call you the stupidest pet names he can think of. Anything from “love bug from under the damn dirty rug” to “pissbaby” is on the table.
- If people stair at your closeness in public, he won’t hesitate to wave his gun around. No one is allowed to make your relationship seem weird.
- “Boyfriends? Sorry we say no homo.”
- Surprisingly protective of you in general and takes any criticism of you as a personal attack on him too.
- You’re his safety blanket so to speak and he’ll happily cuddle up in your arms when he’s feeling down. He doesn’t care if anyone else is looking or not, which can cause you some embarrassment but he never takes it too far.
