how would König feel about a reader with a hand kink? asking for character study purposes...no other reason 😶
Oh he’s going to be so annoying about it.
You don’t even have to tell him you like his hands, he can tell from the way you suddenly get immensely silent & shy whenever he repairs things or fingers you that you have a huge crush on them. König can be dumb as a shoe sometimes when it comes to nuance and body language, but even he can’t ignore the obsessed, flustered stares you give his hands. You seem to like it how big they are, hmm?
Wide palms and sly yet strong fingers, you know what they say about big hands. Haters would say you chose König solely because of them and what they imply, but only God can judge a woman who loves tall men with shovel-like hands! There’s nothing wrong in enjoying beautiful things, but no one told you you’re playing with fire if you give this man too much attention...
König can understand that all kinds of trivial, mundane things can turn women on, and he’s luckily blessed with more assets than just his tremendous height, this man takes shameless advantage of this situation because he’s needy and rotten like that. Brushes a thumb over your cheek when you're tying to focus on your studies or work, coaxes your mouth open with it, as if he didn’t know you would suck his digits if he chose to put one or two there... Takes your hand in public to see if you swallow and blink, he could almost swear that you’re throbbing down there when he gives your tiny palm a soft, reassuring squeeze. How about he took you to the range sometime, teach you how to shoot? No doubt he’ll find your panties soaked by the time you get home, weapons are the last thing he’s clumsy with. If you can't focus on what he's trying to teach you, he can always use that as an excuse to tease you more, right?
He’s addicted to you, and would want nothing more than to bury himself in your heat and stay there forever. But nothing beats a slow, sloppy fingering session these days, he gets to witness how you slowly lose your mind, who knew his hands could bring so much joy to someone...? A win-win situation in König’s opinion, all the more fun to finish you off with his cock when you’re already mewling and crying tears of joy – and all because of a few fingers…
To get you into a smutty headspace (😜), what quality or trait of Alex and Michael do you think turns each other on the most?
Oh this is a good question....
It’s a real crime that we can count the scenes of Michael and Alex being intimate with each other on one hand to extrapolate what gets them in the mood. [Chronologically we have 1x06, 2x05, 1x01, 1x02, 1x03- 2x06 wasn’t a one-on-one thing, so I am hesitant to count that]
Going off of how they are in 1x02 as adults, I think what turns Alex on the most is just how irreverent Michael is with him. He tosses Alex on that tiny Airstream bed - like what a move, right? And Alex hasn’t had sex with him since his injury, since his body was changed from what Michael remembered, and it’s clear Michael doesn’t care. He’s fully living in that “From where I stand, nothing has changed.” Michael does not handle him with kid gloves. He’s still just as passionate with Alex at 28 as he was at 17. I think that’s what Alex values. He loves how physical Michael is, and I think he appreciates the cheesy lines, the joking he does and Michael being open in his appreciation of Alex.
As for what gets Michael going? Probably a little of how when Alex does take charge, he reassures Michael that he has a greenlight from Alex for more. They really do depend on body language between them. Like the way Alex is always looking at his mouth, going into the Airstream in 1x02 first, waking Michael up with kissing his body to let him know he’s still there. I think Michael wants to be assured his attentions are welcome, and he likes the little check ins that Alex does to both assure him of that and state his own desires for Michael.
I think about that first moment in the shed, how Alex pulls back his hands just in case Michael wasn’t on the same page, and after that moment, Michael trusted that Alex’s signals were indeed the right ones.
Double trouble: fun little au about hot sex and cute spats between König and his younger self
My terrible diseased brain: I wonder how young König felt when he realized his older self has a wife. Did he feel relief? That there is a light at the end of the tunnel, that there is someone who will love him, flaws and scars and all? Did he feel bitter that he doesn’t get that love until he’s older, more tired? Did Colonel König ever think about the fact that his wife would even have loved him as the young, stupid asshole he used to be? Do you think that the recuit and the colonel ever have a quiet moment of just existing next to each other, having a mutual realization that he was worthy of love all along?
Me: good grief
Bucca my sister in crime!! Ily 🩷🩷🩷
I'm sorry that you had to wait so long and on top of everything, all I have for you is angst 😭❤️🩹❤️
Young König is surprised (to say the least) when he sees his older self as a married man. He’s stunned to see he’s even alive. He thought he would die before reaching his 30s, in a way he had aspired to be dead before growing too old: that was the goal goddammit.
Who would want to live long enough to see how they turn even more lonely, fucked up and cold?
So his whole worldview is in turmoil now. This is what happens instead? He grows old and happy and gets to marry this hot chick? He gets to be a colonel?? He gets to be loved???
Young König is in love with reader too before even a month has passed, he’s torn between wanting her all to himself and settling for the bone he’s given. Even if he’s a horny menace full of red flags, he adores her. In a way I think he’s the most tragic character in this love triangle/polycule because he seems to be ok with it and has this nonchalant ‘no strings attached’ attitude while clearly, he’s madly in love (and needs therapy).
The attempted mating procedure of young König goes something like this: he sees a hot girl -> he opens his mouth -> she leaves. So now that he is the one who was approached, the dynamic is a bit different. The presence of Colonel means that his bad behaviour flares up like a bad old wound that’s poked. The saddest thing is that the older version has learned to love himself, he loves his wife boundlessly, he even loves his silly young self.
I mean what else can he do but love this beaten dog who’s trying his best and is still a mess?
Colonel’s secret hope is that he could somehow help the young pup to reach destination self-acceptance a little faster through this experiment. But like all of König’s tries to help himself and others, it backfires a bit…
Because young König doesn’t fool himself for one second with daydreams of love. He knows reader doesn’t love him like she loves the Colonel: he’s just a fucktoy in this sick scenario. So no, he isn’t mature enough to co-exist with his older self without bringing good old competition in. Reader can tell him she loves him all she wants, he’s not going to fall for that. Her and Colonel’s love life and marriage only remind him of what he doesn't have, what he can’t get. It’s just scraps for him, like always.
Idea I've had for highschool sweetheart to make könih further rot in guilt because it's silly and amusing that I simply had to share <3
In cliques of the nature of his bullies there are always the internal dynamics people outside don't see. Like how one person is never felt true compliments, only back handed ones if not just straight up insults. Fed lies about how no one else would ever be friends with them, the punching bag of within the clique to keep the glue of the group strong and firm. Naturally it would have been the shyest and most bookish person within the group. But you've known these people your entire life they didn't always act like this they used to be kind and good. (right? they, they were kind once right?) so day dreams become an escape because how could anyone be friends with you? How could anyone tolerate you? Especially after you were around the clique, how could you ever approach the quiet boy who you knew they picked on. He must hate you. You longed to be friends (don't delude yourself you didn't wish to be friends you wished to be lovers but start small right). How could you ever approach him. And then graduation comes and you're abandoned. You can heal and begin to find your personhood. You can pick the shattered pieces of your confidence up off the floor and glue your life back together. It takes years but eventually you gather up the courage to reach out to the boy after he misses the reunion. You want to apologize for your passivity at least. You must after all. (You were children and both victims in your own right but how could this ever be spoken of? You must play the role of the bystander because who would ever believe otherwise? You may have healed but there are still cracks of course.) and much later maybe he learns all this, maybe he reads it in a journal or a letter addressed to him, maybe you finally get the courage to tell him. And the guilt and rot grows like fungus over his heart, eating his anger alive and churning out something like grief in return. Not that you'd noticed the anger, you just saw the second chance, of course he would be wary of you, of course he would have changed over the decade, but a decade of growth was only done on the foundation of the boy you loved before. How could you not love the man he's become now?
tee hee I'm going insane I hope you enjoy my little ramble
Yes yes yes the delicious reveal of how it was for her, that she wasn’t having a happy time in the clique, that she, too, was suffering! ❤️🩹
In my opinion König would eventually come to his senses. If we’re treating this scenario with actual seriousness, he would eventually see that what he’s doing is useless and stupid and hurtful and unjust to both of them. I mean he’s clinically insane, he’s nasty and troubled and traumatized and works for a fucking PMC and tortures people but... he’s not rotten to the core. König is like a stray dog that bites if it feels like it’s about to get cornered and beaten again, and that’s his viewpoint with high school sweetheart actually. It may sound silly and misplaced but he’s just too triggered to see that he’s about to do a royal fuck-up with her.
And the unbearable shame when he realizes? When he faces the thing he has become? It’s simply too much to bear, he has worked so hard on himself & to put that shit behind him, he’s built confidence from scratch, he’s built actual, physical muscle just to feel better about himself, he probably joined the military because it was his middle finger to the world. Yes, he had aspirations and actual passions concerning the sniper dream but he’s also driven by this need to prove a shitload of people wrong.
And in walks this babe who reminds him of a time when he was nothing. Absolutely nothing. How do you love that? Because ultimately, it means you have to love yourself and who you were before you became the incredible Austrian Hulk. At the core of it is a 6 feet deep insecurity because König doesn’t feel he’s worthy of her at all.
I think the only thing that would cleanse his heart from pain is the revelation that she suffered too. As sad as it is, that’s what makes his heart crack open because then he gets to play the savior. But then comes the “Do you still love me even if I almost turned into the monster I always battled against” part… Because König would pay her authenticity "generously" by revealing the bully he almost became. And I think that’s when high school sweetheart really needs to ask herself if she’s up for this kind of shit, if she’s actually ready to love this man who isn’t as cool and tough as she thought he was, who is deeply flawed and resentful and childish and cruel.
Part of her probably knows that already and even loves his flaws, but loving König is like loving that stray dog. He’s gonna bring fleas and dried-up mud into your house eventually. Especially if you feed him and give him a scratch… Put a nice, cosy bed for him by the fire... Tell him he's cute when he whines next to your bed... Teach him it’s ok to prefer to sleep with you instead :/
It is!!!! Gosh he's so tragic & dramatic. Especially when it comes to women and his past. Everything's larger than life, he needs to bring the world to its knees, worship an angel along the way and be like a god to someone himself...
Of course I did. I may seem heartless at times, but I’m not completely unfeeling. He was, after all, the son of the son I loved so much that I let the darkness in to protect him, and beyond that, I would never have let him so close if I didn’t care for him.
