[embershadowfire]

My very first story, about a barista who pours coffee for superheroes. The words feel like those early-morning lattes: a little shaky at first, but warm, real, and humming with possibility. This post is my quiet announcement to the universe that I’m done hiding my drafts in the dark. Here’s to messy first attempts, to ink-stained courage, and to finding magic in ordinary places… even if it’s just behind an espresso machine.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~noon time on a Friday~

Kenna walks into her studio ready for another day of filming and shirtless guys. She would normally film 3-4 videos a day but sometimes she got lucky with only 1 or 2. As she walked towards her dressing room, her director, John, ran up and stopped her. 

John: Just who I was looking for. I need to talk to you about something.

Kenna looked up at him while tilting her head. Being 5′5 and talking to someone who is 5′11 wasn’t very easy. Her eyes scanned his body slyly before she made eye contact with him again. It wasn’t much of a secret around the studio that Kenna and John were hooking up since it had been going on for a few weeks now. It wasn’t that Kenna had feelings for John but the fact that he was there for her in one of her weakest moments and they have continued hooking up since. He wasn’t as rude as the other guys were to her, but he did hurt her a few times while having fun or he gets to rough while they are doing it. She chewed the inside of her lip gently before answering,

Kenna: What’s up? Everything okay?

She asked as she turned her body to face him, her arms crossed and bag slung over her shoulder. John smiles as he stared down at the tiny women standing in front of him, 

John: Yeah, everything is fine. I just wanted to let you know you have a new filming partner today. His name is Jack, he’s 23 and he’ll be here any minute so I would hurry up and get ready if I was you. 

Kenna nodded her head, tucking her hair behind her ear. 

Kenna: Okay, thank you. I’ll be out soon

She smiled softly as she started heading for the dressing room, John stopping her once again by grabbing her waist gently and pulling her to his chest. He gently placed his lips on hers, feeling like a feather. He pulled away after a minute and smiled a crooked smile,

John: Sorry just had to give you beautiful lips a good afternoon kiss. I’ll see you out there.

Kenna pushed her hair back as she watched John walk away. She shook her head as she walked into her dressing room. She laid out her outfits and all the tools she needed for her makeup and hair, which was a lot. The directors always had an exact picture of how she should be dressed for every film she makes. She sighed softly, sitting down in front of her vanity and starting to do her makeup. 

(Makeup look) 

Once her makeup was finished, she moved on to styling her hair. She wasn’t going to do something crazy since hair is always the first thing that gets messed up when filming so she keeps it simple by doing two Dutch braids. 

(Hairstyle) 

After getting her look perfected, it was time for Kenna to get changed into the outfit she would be wearing for the first film. She had many different outfits but wanted to impress this new guy, hoping he wasn’t a creep like the rest and that she would actually get along with him. She looked through her outfits before landing on red lace lingerie, something she has rarely worn. She knew that if she wore it, it would irritate John but they weren’t dating and only hooking up, plus she can wear what she wants. 

(Outfit inspo)

As soon as Kenna was done getting ready, she put her robe on and walked out to find John and the new guy...what was his name again? Jake? She shook her head, giggling slightly at herself for not remembering. She found John by the exit, his back facing her. She made her way over and cleared her throat slightly to get his attention. He quickly turned around, smiling a bit. As Kenna looked at him, she saw this handsome young guy behind him. Well, she could only assume he’s handsome because John was covering half his face with his body. 

John: Oh! There you are! I was just coming to find you. This is Jack, 

He tells her as he steps to the side, revealing the human who was hidden behind him. That was his name! Her mind screamed after hearing his name, how could you forget that name ever again after seeing him?! Kenna’s eyes studied the guy in front of her, smiling slightly she introduced herself, 

Kenna: Hi! I’m Kenna, it’s so nice to be working with you today. 

Jack smiled as he kept his eyes on her face. His smile was warm and kind but you could tell he was nervous. He extended his hand towards her,

Jack: Nice to meet you. I should really say it’s an honor to be working with you. You are famous and all. 

He admits as he chuckles nervously. Kenna giggled as she nodded, 

Kenna: I guess you could say that 

She shrugged as she held her robe closed. John cleared his throat, 

John: Well now that you guys met each other let’s get to filming. Jack if you’d follow us

John says without another word and starts heading off to the area they are filming at. Kenna smiles as she walks next to Jack, looking over at him. He wasn’t as tall as John but also wasn’t as short as she was, making it easier for her to look at him. She scrambled her brain to find questions to ask but he started talking before she settled on one. 

Jack: So, i’m new to this whole..thing so i’m sorry if i mess up. If anything happens that hurts you please let me know, i would hate to hurt you. 

He says softly, looking down at the floor. Kenna’s heart melts. He is so sweet and...pure and caring. He doesn’t even know he yet and he’s already trying to look out for her, unlike everyone else. She can’t help but smile, her eyes lighting up but looking away as she answers him. 

Kenna: There’s no way you could mess this up,

She reassures him.

Kenna: I can pretty much handle anything but I’ll let you know if I get hurt...Thank you that was really sweet. Not many guys are like that.

Jack’s brows furrow as he listens to her talk, glancing over at the beautiful girl beside hime.

Jack: They aren’t? 

Kenna shakes her head, opening her mouth to answer but being interrupted by John, who was now facing them and irritated look on his face. 

John: Okay so, you both know what the setting is for the film. Kenna you’re gonna start on the bed and Jack will walk in on you. Jack, go stand off to the side of the filming spot.

Jack nods,  smiling slightly at Kenna before walking over to place he was told to. Kenna takes her robe off and starts heading for the bed, stopping when John grabs her arm. He looks down at her, moving his face extremely close to hers.

John: You better not enjoy this 

He said quietly, jealousy lacing his words. Kenna looked at him and rolled her eyes,

Kenna: We are not a couple. I can do whatever I want. Just cause we hook up doesn’t mean I have to hate the sex I film

She said sternly before pulling away and walking to the bed. She shakes her head, trying to get John out of her mind and focus on Jack. She lays down on the bed, gently running her hands over her body and closing her eyes. She couldn’t help but imagine what Jack was gonna be like, now she just needed to wait on him.

The Fairy Princess and The Hanyou Prince

First things firsts, this story is my first muti-chapter fic, but as always, an inukag story. I’m still really knew at writing, so bear with me, haha. Inspired by so many people in the fandom, let me know what you think! I’m still writing this story, but I’ll be updating it pretty quickly. 

@keichanz @neutronstarchild

Chapter 1

Once upon a time, in a far away land, there resided four kingdoms, whom all lived in harmony with each other. The northern kingdom, King Toga, an incredibly powerful dog demon, and Queen Izayoi, an equally incredibly beautiful human, ruled with grace and fairness, along with their hanyou prince, Prince Inuyasha. The west, King Sesshomaru, King Toga’s first born, and his queen, Kagura, a powerful wind demon, ruled at a distance, but peaceful. To the south, King Koga an arrogant wolf demon, and Queen Ayame, a sassy, but strong wolf demon, ruled with laughter, promises and joy. The final kingdom, to the east, ruled King Suikotsu, a kind, strong fairy, and Queen Kikyo, a fairy as well, ruled with grace, beauty and love for all things, for they themselves were beings of the earth. In these kingdoms lived a variety of people, demons, humans, hanyous, even mythical creatures, such as gnomes, elves, fairies, unicorns, mermaids, even ghouls and trolls. Everyone lived in harmony and tranquility for hundred of years.

One spring evening, the kingdoms united together to celebrate the birth of the new princess, Princess Kagome. A huge celebration was in order, with treats, gifts, music and dancing and everyone throughout the land traveled to the eastern lands to rejoice in the new birth. They knew with happiness in their hearts, the peace would continue throughout the lands with the birth of this new child. 

“Mama, there’s a baby.” Inuyasha pointed, looking up at his mother.

“Yes dear, that’s the new princess.” A woman with long, silky black hair told him.

“Why does she have wings?” He asked, tilting his head, his ears perking up straight, like the cute puppy he was.

Laughing softly, Queen Izayoi picked him up and spoke softly to him. “She is a fairy, baby. Fairies are wonderful, extravagant, beautiful creatures, who spread love, joy and happiness wherever they go. Fairies have wings when they are born and grown into them as they become big and strong, like a certain hanyou I know.” She spoke, nuzzling his cheek.

“Mamaaaaaa, stop.” Inuyasha laughed, pushing gently on her chest, trying to get away from the kisses. He wanted to go take closer look at the new princess. “Can I go say hi, please?”

“Let’s go together.” A baritone voice came from behind.

“Okay papa!” Izayoi let her son down to his feet and gracefully turned to her handsome husband, smiling softly, and took his outstretched arm. Together, the three of them approached the dais, where the new parents sat.

“King Toga, Queen Izayoi, we are overjoyed you could make it. My my, Prince Inuyasha, you have grown since we’ve last seen you.” King Suikotsu exclaimed, laughing loudly, standing to welcome the northern royalty.

“I’m two now!” Inuyasha said excitedly, holding up two small clawed fingers, jumping from foot to foot, in anticipation of the new princess.

“Well, you are growing strong everyday kind sir, did you want to say hi to the new princess?” He gestured to his left.

Suddenly shy, he nodded and turned to face his parents, unsure of what to do. Softly pushing him forward, Toga smiled softly for his pup. Inuyasha took a deep breath, stepping up towards the queen, whose large, blue wings glittered like the ocean in the sunshine. The queen knelt down, holding a soft bundle to her chest and smiled warmly, beckoning him forward with her manicured fingers. Inuyasha took another small step forward and looked down.

What he saw made him gasp in awe. There in her arms, was a smiling little baby girl with the bluest of eyes he had ever seen, gazing at him. They seem to match her mother’s wings in color and shimmered so brightly. Taking a sniff, he smiled softly. She smelled like wildflowers in a meadow and sunshine. Her small wings, gold and silver twirling throughout, shifted to open upon seeing him. The little girl laughed, reaching her small hands out, as if she were trying to reach his ears. Blushing a little, Inuyasha reached his hand out and Kagome grabbed onto his fingers and laughed a little more, her laugh like a tinkering of bells in the wintertime. “She smells pretty.” He whispered to himself, unaware of his father’s hearing, who just smiled upon hearing this.

“Her name is Kagome.” The fairy queen in red spoke to the young prince.

“Hi, Kagome, I’m Inuyasha.” Kagome squealed at his words and smiled at him once more, before yawning, bringing her fists towards her mouth. Laughing quietly, Queen Kikyo stood again, “She’s getting sleepy. Dear, let me put her down for a little bit, while you get the celebration going. The Southern Kingdom can’t be quite loud during celebrations.”

Agreeing with a chuckle, Suikotsu kissed his wife’s forehead and steered towards the door. Suikotsu then turned and announced the feast was about to begin, while Inuyasha skipped towards his parents with a grin on his face. As Kikyo walked Kagome to other room to lay her down, Inuyasha gripped on his mother’s pale blue skirt and couldn’t help but watch her leave and smile excitedly, knowing he had a new friend. 

The kingdoms rejoiced for days for the new brith and all was well in the kingdom for a few months. Four fortnights had passed since the celebration and Kagome was beginning to grow into the beautiful child, with the most loving parents. Little did they know, an evil hanyou with a wicked plan would destroy everything. One warm summer evening, as Queen Kikyo put the child down to sleep in her bassinet, she heard some cries come from the meadow outside the castle. Rushing into the room, King Suikotsu shut the door quickly, turning towards his family with fear in his deep blue eyes.

“Naraku is here.” “No!” Kikyo gasped. She knew he would come, had heard of the man who hunted creatures, but not this soon, not with Kagome so young. “What do we do?!” She cried, tears beginning to form along her lids.

“Pack a bag, we’ve got to run, the other kingdoms know what is happening. I sent a carrier to each kingdom a day ago to let them know Naraku was coming. I’ve told everyone to help evacuate the castle, get to the villages safely, try and travel to any of our neighboring kingdoms for safety. They will welcome them with open arms.” He explained, his voice wavering, reaching for a bag near the door.

Before Kikyo could reply, there was pounding and slamming against the large wooden door, followed by loud screaming. Kikyo picked up Kagome, who still sound asleep, curled into her mother’s arms. Knowing exactly what to do, she ran to her jewelry chest, a small black opaque box, and picked up three necklaces. Each with the symbol of the fairy kingdom. She infused her power to the first one and lifted it over her head, changing her appearance, removing her wings completely. She said a soft chant, the second pendant, a blue similar to the sky, began to glow and she wrapped it around her bundled up child. Kagome’s wings disappeared instantly, her aura changing to that of a human. Infusing the last, Kikyo turned towards her husband, just as the door burst open.

Naraku strolled through the doorway, sword in hand, with blood coating his chestnut coat, and before Suikotsu could take a step forward to defend his family, Naraku plunged the steel blade into his chest with a sinister grin on his face. Crimson eyes watched as the  fairy king fell to the floor with shattered breaths, blood pooling around his wings and turned towards the queen with the small child in her arms blood coating the weapon. Dropping the third necklace quickly, Kikyo covered her daughter with both hands, closed her eyes and softly chanted a spell. Naraku took a step forward, raised his sword and slashed, catching Kikyo’s shoulder, slicing a wing in the process, just as she disappeared into twinkling dust. Enraged, Naraku, knelt down and grabbed  at Suikotsu’s chin, snarling, “Where did she take her?”

“You’ll never find her.” “You’ll die before seeing either of them again and your kingdom will be mine.” “Go to hell.” Suikotsu sputtered, blood begin to spill from his mouth. Chuckling softly, Naraku used his sword to slice the king’s neck. The sword began to glow brightly, absorbing the fairy king’s power. Standing and calling to his men, he instructed them to dispose of the body. However, before his henchman took a step, the king’s body disappeared into gold dust, leaving only the large pool of deep red blood on the floor. Snarling softly, Naraku sheathed his sword turning to head out of the room. Catching his attention, he noticed the remaining necklace, glowing softly with Kikyo’s concealment charm, Naraku smiled and picked up, clutching it in his hands, knowing he would one day find the princess and make her his.

Kikyo stumbled through the trees, gasping for breath, blood covering her right arm. She tried to stop and use the leaves from the trees to stop her bleeding, to heal her, but she was fading fast. Taking another step forward, she looked up to the full moon and prayed for help, for her and her child. Breathing deeply, she pushed through the underbrush, trying to go north to King Toga’s kingdom, knowing he could protect her child. Tears streaming down her face, whether from the pain or the situation or her daughter’s future, she wasn’t quite sure, Kikyo sobbed, holing the still sleeping Kagome to her breast. Stop to catch her breath, Kikyo looked down to Kagome, looking like a normal human, no sparkle to her skin in the moonlight and kissed her on the forehead. “My little girl, one day you will be strongest and most beautiful fairy. You will be the answer. I love you.” Sighing and squaring her shoulders, Kikyo used the last of her energy to walk into a small meadow, near a stream, where she spotted a cottage along the water. Pushing herself even more, she stepped towards the doorway, when the reed mat swung open to reveal a woman around her age, wearing an eye patch, with a startled look across her features.

“Child, are you alright?” The women asked, taking a step towards the wounded mother.

“Please, help me. Take my child.”

“Child?” It was then, the woman in red hakama and a white kosode, looked down towards the bundle in her arms, noticing the blood dripping along the ground beside the queen. “Come inside. Let me help you.” She urgently requested.

“Please protect her. She is special, she will save our kingdom. This necklace will keep her hidden from harm. Her name is Kagome.” With that, Kikyo sank to her knees, Kaede catching her, to keep her from dropping Kagome and falling in the dirt herself. As Kaede took the sleeping child, she locked eyes with the queen, unbeknownst to her, that the queen was dying. As Kaede began to reach out towards Kikyo to help her stand, KIkyo gasped, holding her right shoulder, and fell, disappearing into twinkling dust as she passed. 

Not knowing exactly what just happened, Kaede looked down to the sleeping babe, who had began to fuss, knowing she would protect this child at all costs and sensing a great power beneath the concealment charm. Standing and turning towards her little, but warm cottage, she looked up at the full moon and prayed for all the help in the world with this child.

Not too far away, in the northern kingdom, King Toga held his wife a little closer at his side, watching the eastern kingdom fall, with the rise of an evil ruler, knowing the time of peace had ended.

20 years have passed since that eventful night, but Kaede kept her promise to Kikyo in keeping the princess safe. Naraku began to become even more powerful, catching any creature he could, and absorbing their power with his sword. He became unforgiving, creating a ruthless reputation for beheading his servants. The southern wolf kingdom locked down their borders, not allowing anyone in or out without protection. Sesshomaru merely didn’t change anything, as if he didn’t care. Toga welcomed anyone who needed help with open arms, aiding his villages in support and creating a strong army in defense. Demons, mythical creatures, and humans feared Naraku, many fleeing the eastern kingdom and seeking protection among each of the kingdoms. Families were separated, lost to each other and the King and Queen of the eastern kingdom lost to its people. Many mythical creatures almost became extinct, many of the remaining hiding from the evil.

However, in a small cottage, at the border of the northern and eastern kingdoms, Kagome grew into a lovely young woman, with her powers growing exponentially everyday. She loved gardening, growing different kinds of flowers, herbs and vegetables. She loved the feeling of the soil in her fingers, learning new remedies and recipes from her mother, Mother Kaede as well as her neighbor, a friendly half-demon, Jineji helped her with her garden and always accompanied her on her walks to the neighboring villages. Her hair, a long, almost black, ran to her waist, curling slightly at the bottom and her eyes the bluest of blues, like the ocean. Her small waist almost always had a basket of flowers perched against it, and her smile never seem to left her face. The nearby villages praised her kindness and beauty, while fearing her temper on some occasions.

A bright spring morning, Kaede and Kagome were beginning their day with breakfast. “Child, I think today would be a good day to gather some flowers, while taking these herbs and remedies to the fox family down the road. Shippo’s mother just gave birth and needs a few things.”

“Okay Mother Kaede! I would love to see Shippo too, he loves my snack cakes that I make, almost as much as you do. There are a few left, may I take them with me?” Kagome asked brightly, giggling softly.

“Of course my dear. Please be careful, if you should need help, call for Jineji if you are near his home. DO you have your dagger?”

“Always! I can’t wait to see all the flowers in the fields, I wonder if the tulips have sprung yet….” Kagome began to talk to herself, as she packed her knapsack. 

Laughing quietly, knowing just how much Kagome loved the wildflower field on a warm day, Kaede helped her with her cream cloak, buttoning it along her right shoulder. “Do you have your pendant? As well my child?”

“Yes Mother!” Kagome huffed, grabbing her basket with the herbs and began to step through the door. Breathing deeply, she smiled, knowing today would be a wonderful day.

Following the green path, she spent a good hour walking towards the fox hut Letting go of the pendant she was fingering around her neck, she stopped to hear voices inside, along with a laughing squeal. Jumping out front doorway, Shippo waved at Kagome and hurried towards her, with the biggest shit eating grin on his face “Kagome! Kagome! Can we go play in the wild flower fields today?”

Smiling even brighter than she was, eyes glimmering in the sunshine, Kagome laughed along.”Of course! I brought these for your mother from Mother Kaede. It’s for your brother and sisters too.” Sniffling at the package, Shippo jumped onto her shoulder as they headed inside the hut. “Now, what did you do? I know that smile.” Kagome asked, ticking Shippo’s rounding belly.

Not too far away, Prince Inuyasha, followed by his closest friends, began their hunt. It was near the end of the deer season and he wanted to catch one more for the dinner table tonight. He wanted to show his father how good he was at catching game and as they travel toward the thick forest, Inuyasha began to daydream as he rode his horse. Something about gold and silver wings and the smell of wildflowers. Hearing a slap against skin, he sighed, shaking his thoughts from his head, and turned, looking at his friends. “Serves you right Monk, you should know by now Sango will hit you every time.” He snickered at the couple.

“It’s the hand! I swear this thing is cursed.” Miroku responded, his left cheek sporting a bright pink hand print, raising his own hands in the air.

“No, you’re just a pervert!” The brunette beside him cried loudly, pulling the reins, slowing them to stop.

“Okay you two, hush, while we hunt for game. I smelt a steed not too far from here. Sango, close are we to the border?” Inuyasha turned toward the demon slayer, his companion being in charge of the maps.

“Not too far. There is a village a little ways that way, the one where the hanyou horse resides, who helps with herbs in this area. After that, you’ve reached the border.” Sango pointed, stating.

Nodding his head, Inuyasha began the dismount from his horse, grabbing his crossbow and arrows, his sword bouncing along his leather clad thigh. Stopping suddenly, his ear twitched and turned toward the wildflower meadow he knew was near here. He could hear soft giggling and a small child talking. Miroku and Sango climbed down from their horse, squabbling at each other again. Taking a step towards the sounds, he left his friends behind at the horses and followed the sounds. When he approached the edge of the meadow, he stopped in his tracks.

 This story begins with the line that first came to my head "She heard footsteps..." and the rest started to pour out of my brain. The main character is a young woman named Asmire who seems to be trapped by an evil man. All she longs for is to return to her place in her kingdom and to not be anyone's puppet or plaything. She holds someone dear in her heart and wishes to protect him. Will she escape? Is evil really evil? Will love come to those that yearn for it? 

 *this story is whatever comes to my mind and my writing is VERY new so please comment ideas and helpful tips.

Sharing

So...having never posted on tumblr before ever but being a longtime lurker of others, I thought...just do it.  This has been bungling around my brain for a few days.  Please excuse any mistakes as I literally have no idea what I’m doing.  Also, I suck at titles.

Sharing

It had taken awhile for Solana to convince him to share her quarters.  They’d shared his often enough since that first time, but he’d been hesitant to join her in her room.  He still slept in his own quarters, sometimes, when she was gone on missions or one or the other worked late and he didn’t want to disturb her.  Sometimes, too, when he was having a particularly bad night and the nightmares came, he stayed away, still not ready for her to see him like that. 

Cullen rubbed at tired eyes as he climbed the stairs.  Maker, I should have left those reports for morning.

He stopped at the top of the stairs, a soft huff that was a mix of amusement and annoyance leaving him before he could stop it. 

Solana was already asleep.  She lay on her side, one hand tucked under her pillow and the other still clutching a book.  The red hair she usually kept braided was loose and curled around her face.  He liked how the color of her vallaslin seemed to complement her hair and her features. He reminded himself yet again that he should ask her more about the markings and her people.  About all he knew of her vallaslin was that they were for Mythal and even that he only knew because Luna Surana had had the same.

Cullen shook himself as he realized he was still standing at the top of the stairs staring at her like an idiot.  It wouldn’t do for her to wake and see him hovering there.  It would do even less for him to be caught by the man currently asleep on the bed with Solana, his head nestled into the crook of the Inquisitor’s hip.

This was not the first time Cullen had found Dorian Pavus here.  The Tevinter mage was as often in Solana’s room as Cullen was.  Cullen still wasn’t quite sure why the pair had become so attached to one another.  With the exception of being mages, Cullen had at first though they had little in common.  This was not to say Cullen didn’t like Dorian.  He was nice enough, good for a game of chess, and seemed genuinely loyal to the Inquisition.  Cullen wondered, however, if Dorian was really more loyal to her.

Solana was friendly to everyone and seemed capable of making friends with anyone, if her rag-tag group of followers was any indication. She was perhaps the kindest and gentlest person Cullen had ever met, which was saying something as she was also capable of raining pure Hell down on anyone who threatened the people she loved.

That was it, of course.  She loved Dorian.  Cullen knew it.  Not the same way he hoped she loved him, naturally.  They flirted with each other relentlessly.  They spent hours together in the library or here reading, researching or just talking about Maker knew what.  If she left Skyhold without him, an increasingly rare occurrence, Dorian had for awhile been the first person she ran to see upon her return.  Cullen had actually noticed when that person had switched to him instead.  

There were people here who did not trust Dorian and probably never would.  But Solana trusted him completely.  And despite the way Dorian feigned careless ease and indifference , it was obvious to Cullen the altus trusted very few people.  Except Solana. 

Varric had had the gall a few days ago at the tavern to ask Cullen if he minded sharing her with “the Vint”.  He’d made the mistake of asking within hearing of Sera, who’d chimed in with a suggestion of a different sort of “sharing”.  Cullen had left without acknowledging either of them.

Cullen went to the bed and shook Dorian gently.  The altus woke with a soft, annoyed grunt.  He started to glare at whomever had woken him, but stopped as he saw Cullen.

“Ah.  Commander.”  Dorian sat up, not at all embarrassed.  He stretched luxuriously, smoothed his moustache into place, then turned and eased the book out from Solana’s hand.  

“Mmm?” Her emerald eyes slit open but she didn’t move.

Dorian whispered a good night to her, nodded to Cullen, and was gone without another word.

“Ma Vhenan,” she breathed, not wholly awake, as Cullen settled beside her a few minutes later.  She snuggled herself into him, her head tucking under his chin, her unmarked hand curling into his shirt.

Not that he would ever tell Varric or anyone else, but no, Cullen didn’t mind sharing Solana with Dorian at all.

[scary-noodlers]

Okay. Here we go.

This is my first story. I originally wrote it on wattpad but I wanted to post it here.

Can't help falling in love with you.

An Eyeless Jack x reader (part 1)

Prologue

"This is the reason we exist. To protect the innocent from horrors unlike any other. We are hunters; we secure, contain, and protect."

-Unknown

(1st person POV)

"Monsters." "Heartless, monsters."

From birth this is what I was taught. That the Creepypastas and SCP's were nothing but ruthless killers; savages that shouldn't be shown mercy. I've witnessed that savagery with my own eyes.

My mother and father both worked for the cause as top hunters. Thus raising, or training, me as a deadly weapon. I suppose I never had a 'normal' childhood. I've been exposed to nightmares that would make a military officer shake with fear.

When I was 16 I saw It. I can remember the grey-skinned freak the hunters brought back from their year long pursuit, he was definitely a top-tier catch. Black, oozing, eyeless sockets stared back into my (E/C) eyes. He was called 'Eyeless jack' I later found out and he was my absolute favorite.

I was taught about these monsters by my mentor. Some of them were extremely dangerous, well all of them were but some more than others. Eyeless jack intrigued me more than the others, and that was dangerous, there was just something about him that left me wanting to study him. After all they were just test subjects now, right?

I would sneak him some different types of flesh just out of curiosity. Although I found he preferred organs, not just any organs, human organs. Disgusting, but yet I kept doing it. Every Friday when the hunters would go home to rest up, I would sneak into the containment section, find Jack, pull an extra organ from the storage fridge, slip it into his unit, and there he would be, waiting cautiously as I gave him a 'treat'.

I'm almost positive my mentor and some hunters knew about it; I had so much power no one would question me. Since my parents are top hunters this means they basically run this containment unit.

It was Friday again. I was always ecstatic by the end of the day, butterflies riled up in my stomach while I put on a straight face for my mentor. "(Y/n)!" My mentor snapped at me, "Were you listening?" I panicked and decided to just tell my mentor I had a stomachache. (Mentors/N)[I kinda wanna call him Charlie?] Excused me and I left the training room.

Why was I so excited? I knew exactly why I just didn't want to admit that I wanted to see the freak. Walking down the halls would be confusing to someone whose never been here, but I knew these halls like the back of my hand.

It didn't take long to reach the containment unit, I took out my key card, beeped myself in, and walked into the holding center. I had to walk past a lot of freaks to reach Him. I read the numbers and names as I walked down the halls.

The question marks meant they were currently being studied.

If it was just a name they were wanted and captured.

And if the cell was empty the door would be un-labeled 

Cells in the 300 zone were usually cannibalistic.

Cell 342- ??

Cell 343- 'The Rake'

Cell 344- '??'

Cell 345- '??'

Cell 346-

Cell 347-'??'

Cell 348-

Cell 349-

Cell 350-

Cell 351- 'Eyeless Jack'

And there it was cell 351.

I walked over to the storage fridge and started the routine I do every Friday.

He was already sitting by the food slot but this time was different. "Could you warm it up this time?" He spoke in a cautious and raspy tone as if he wasn't used to speaking. "He can talk?!" His talking surprised me. I thought he was just some mutant freak, even though he had a human figure, he looked everything but human. "Sure." I spoke as if it was no big deal but on the inside I felt. Guilt? I'm not quite sure why but I felt bad that I hadn't been warming them up and just feeding him cold meat.

It was a bit of a walk to the nearest microwave but there I was; warming up organs for some monster. Why am I doing this? He doesn't deserve it. He's a ruthless killer. But he used to be human. Used to be.

I brought the tray of organs to the cell and slid the tray through the slot. I made sure they weren't to hot when I took them out of the microwave.

Watching him munch on the organs made my stomach churn, I don't know how he could eat that stuff. " I didn't know you could speak." I finally spoke up after minutes of silence.  That might have sounded rude but I wanted him to talk more. "Then you don't know very much." He remarked. How dare he? The nerve of this guy to blatantly call you stupid when you were the one who sneaked food for him? "Excuse me?" I exclaimed, matching his tone. " I happen to be in the top of my class!" Jack started to chuckle "The top of your class, huh? And you openly brake the rules to sneak me food?" Jack paused for a moment looking as though he was thinking intensely, "That doesn't sound very smart to me." I scoffed "Fine! if you don't want me to bring you food all you had to do was say!" I turned around, ready to leave. "Wait!" Jack said sounding rather panicked "Please, don't leave, I'm sorry." I almost felt bad for him, he sounded lonely and scared. I sighed but I still turned back to him and sat down. "I won't leave." I reassured him.

I started going to visit Jack more often. It was just Fridays, then on weekend nights, now it became an every other night thing. Jack and I had a lot in common as it turned out. He would tell me good techniques for me to use and I would tell him how I used those techniques to take down other hunters in training. "And then right when she thought she won I stuck my leg out, just like you said, she fell to the ground and I was able to overpower her!" I told Jack proudly as he listened to me tell him about my training practice today. "Good job, it sounds as if you will be number one in your class in no time." I swelled with pride at Jacks words of approval, I loved it when he praised me. I love him. Wait. What.

My cheeks flushed. Am I falling in love with him? Jack looked at me puzzled, "(Y/N), are you feeling okay?" I panicked and said something along the lines of "No! I mean, yes! Sorry I think I might have a fever." Trying to hide my face wasn't working.. "I could check if you want?" Jack spoke up. I hesitated but agreed to allow him to check. My heart felt like it was trying to leap from my rib cage as I stepped closer to the bars on Jack's cell. He rolled up his sleeve and put his wrist up to my forehead.

Jack was cold but his hand felt so comforting, it felt like he genuinely cared about me.

"Yeah," Jack moved his wrist away from my forehead and began to caress my cheek. "You're hot." My (e/c) eyes connected with his non-existent eyes, my heart fluttered. "Sorry." Jack said as he pulled away from me, 'No.' I thought to myself and without thinking I grabbed his shirt and pulled him into a kiss. It felt like electricity flowed through our lips. 'What if he doesn't feel the same way?' I realized this and pulled away "I'm sorry." I quickly apologized to him, "Don't be." He said and smashed his lips back onto mine.

A million emotions ran through me, but guilt was the strongest. I pulled away from Jack, he looked confused, and then I did something that I might regret. I pulled my key card out of my pocket and handed it to Jack. "What are you doing?" He looked at the key card uncertainty. "Tonight the lab guards are slacking off, I overheard them say they're ditching their posts." This might be the last time I see Jack. "If you ever want to leave here. Do it tonight and never come back here." I felt like I was on the verge of tears, I've known Jack for a while now and all he's done is help me. We've kept him in a cage like an animal when he's more humane than most people I know.

"Why are you doing this." I struggled to answer his question. "Just get out of this place, please." Now I was crying, it felt like I was pushing him away, he had to know I wasn't doing this just for me. "I care about you." We stood in silence for a moment. "Thank you, (y/n)." He pulled me into a hug. "I will never forget you."

I hugged him tighter. "Goodbye, Jack."

'He's not a monster.'

Promise

a/n: Um this is my first story in tumblr.... So please go easy on me. If somoene will ever read this.

“Promise me you’ll be my boyfriend in the future, okay?” She said in a warm tone combined with her beautiful smile. Her name is Lyka.

I blushed and said “Okay i promise.”, with a big smile on my face. 

‘Okay, why am i rememebering that time.’ I said to myself and sighed.

8 years have past since she said that to me and left. She went abroad with her parents and i havent heard  anything from her since then. I am now 19 years old and I’m a working student.

I sat at the counter and looking around the cafe I’m working in. The aesthetic vibe it gives with the black and brown color of the furnitures and the wall, really gives a bright smile in my face and gives me a time to relax. Well nothing’s new actually, this is like my typical everyday life. Go to school in the morning till afternoon and work at night.

It’s almost 7:00 pm and that’s when people tends to flock in the cafe. Students and workers tends to go in this cafe to just relax or even do their assignments or woks. 

It really became a  busy hour and when 9:00 pm came I can relax again. There aren’t alot of costumers at this time, so I closed my eyes for a bit. 

“Um excuse me?” 

“Hello? Mr.Cashier guy??” 

I opened my eyes slowly, like how you open your eyes when you make up in the morning.

While I was still half asleep, I looked up and saw this girl and i tried going back to sleep.

“E X C U S E ME!” She said in a loud tone while snapping her fingers near my ear.

I stood up absurdly.

“Will you take my order now?” she sounded pissed.

‘Shit i accidentaly dozed off.’

“I’m sorry, what’s your order ma’am?”

“Can i get one Cappuccino?” she said.

I typed her order.

“Okay is that a-” I looked up to see her face and accidentaly went above her head.

‘Ummm i thought she’s tall...’ I was disappointed.

I looked down a bit and saw her. I was showing a disappointed look.

“What? Don’t tell me even here I’m gonna get laughed at because of my height.”

“No no no. It’s not that...” I replied.

“Then what is it then??” She asked with a pissed tone.

“Well....”

“Well what??”

“It.. really is about your height..” I giggled.

“See!! pft. There isn’t even alot of tall people here in the Philippines than people in the US but you guys still making fun of my height.”

I bowed and said my sorry again.

She went to find a sit and waited for her coffee then left after.

10:00 pm came and it’s closing time. I closed the cafe and locked the door. I walked home because my home is just near the cafe. 

‘That girl was really pissed about her height, she’s like a chihuahua.’ I told myself and laughed out loud.’

I got home and saw a car outside my house. I went in and i was shocked, i saw the girl who went in the cafe earlier.

“Wait what are you doing here??” I asked while confused.

“Huh? Why are you asking me? What are you doing here?” she asked back.

“Why?? Because this is my home!”

My mother then interrupted us,

“Well you guys saw each other already huh.”

“Mom who’s this?” i asked.

“Wait wait, mom? She’s your mother?” The girl was schocked.

“Duh didn’t you just heard me saying mom?” I answered with a sarcastic tone.

Mom interrupted us again,

“Y/n, do you still remember the girl who made a promise with you to be um, girlfriend and boyfriend in the future?”

“Yeah wh-” I became speechless.

I was schocked and slowly looked at the girl.

“Yeah, this is Lyka.” mom continued.

Both of me and Lyka became speechless. 

After a moment of silence, I spoke.

“So what brings you-” Lyka interrupted me.

“I came back to fulfill our promise.” She said in a warm tone combined with her smile, similar to the one she gave me 8 years ago.

‘Lyka, you always make me blush even before.’
