“Could you write a red arrow and reader fic where reader was in an abusive relationship before him and runs into her ex kinda stirring things up some please? I understand if you arent comfortable with it.”
Thank you for your request, this one is a bit serious but not very.
TW: Abuse :
“Hey, pal..” Roy put his hand on the man’s chest to stop him from coming any closer to you, “Back off, yeah?”
The man aggressively pushed Roy’s hand away. “And just who do you think you are?” he shouted.
You were in a state of complete panic. You were not used to feeling so helpless, not since the last time you had been with that man at least. Calm down. Breathe. Deep Breaths. Roy is here. He’ll take care of you, he always does. But he’s here too. You haven’t seen him since forever and you had intended to keep it that way. Things would have gone perfectly fine if he hadn’t decided on approaching you and creating a scene. He was drunk, like always. That smell, that terrible smell made you think back to all the times you had been together with him. He was your first relationship so you had somehow convinced yourself that it was true love. That it was meant to be.
You had avoided all the warning signs. All the times he hit you, he kept obsessing over you. He even isolated you from all your friends. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. You had hit your breaking point and realized finally how toxic it was. So you escaped. You restarted your life and forgot all about him that is until today.
You could see the scene unfolding in front of you, Roy had just effortlessly punched your ex. Quite hard. Hard enough for a knock out in fact. Roy walked over to you and escorted you into his car.
“Hey, it’s okay. You’re okay now, (Y/N). You’re with me.” he said calmly, taking the wheel. His voice reassuring you that everything was okay.
Roy knew all about your past. He was the one who had helped you heal. You were brighter thanks to him. He had picked up all the pieces of your broken heart and managed to glue them back together in a better shape than they were before. You were grateful. Thanks to him, you had learnt to love again.
requested by anon: Could you do Roy introducing his s/o (or hopeful future s/o) to Lian?
OKAY! This blew up. It’s a little over 2000 words and I didn’t expect I would be writing this much for this prompt to be honest. Sorry if the ending feels a little bit rushed, I swear if it was up to me, I probably would be writing more than intended and it would just look draggy. Anyway, thank you for sending in this prompt! Hope it’s alright with you and hope you enjoy it!
note: Single Dad! AU, modern AU
You smile to yourself as you stare at the table you have managed to quickly decorate: a few colourful, glittery balloons, a teddy bear that is hugging a bag full of candies and chocolates and that was about it really - you didn’t really add much to the table mostly because you didn’t want to make it seem to over the top. You wring your hands, finally feeling the nerves that has been building up - she isn’t even here yet and you are already this nervous! Although granted, you really want this to go well. The both of you do, truthfully.
A smile appears on your face, despite your nervousness, when you think about your lover. (Referring to him as your boyfriend seems a little bit… short-term and it definitely is not the term you would use to describe what Roy and you have, that’s for sure). When he had proposed the idea of meeting his daughter, Roy had been nervous - more so than the first time he relented to go on a date with you (let it never be said that you didn’t fight for what you want!) - but you had been ecstatic!
You knew just how much Lian means to him - almost most of the time, Roy would be talking about his daughter. There was just something about the way he loves and carries Lian with all of his heart that made you fell in love with him, became all the more attracted to him - it really was just something endearing about how he spoke about Lian that warmed your heart.
It was no secret between the two of you that often Roy’s relationship didn’t work because the moment they heard he had a daughter, one that was really young, most dropped him like hot potatoes, not wanting to be a ‘mom’ this young and you also understood just how much those words had hurt him because he really loved Lian, even if she was unplanned. The fact that he wants to introduce you to Lian means that he is willing to put his own heart at risk again and you definitely did not want to hurt him which is how you knew how serious Roy must have been when he asked if you wanted to officially meet his daughter.
The two of you agreed to have the meeting at Lian’s current obsession: McDonalds. The closest McDonalds was, thankfully, not far from where you work at and also nearby Lian’s pre-school which is why you had gone straight to McDonalds (after buying the little things that you hope might help Lian to warm up to you a tiny bit because even though you have yet to meet her, the way Roy talked about her made you feel like you know Lian very, very well) to get a table for the three of you.
When it was nearer to the time Roy and you had agreed on and you still have yet to receive a message from him, that is when you got worried. Roy would have told you if Lian decided she didn’t want to meet you (he had been slowly warming Lian up for you, which was really sweet of him but you wanted to win her heart on your own!) but he has yet to text you so you assumed the plan is still ongoing. But when it is fifteen minutes past the promised time, you checked your phone to read the last text you received from him; it mostly consisted of how he is looking forward to seeing you later and how he still has a meeting to go through at lunch. So you decided to do the next best thing: call Roy.
It takes a few tries until Roy actually picked up the phone but by then your nerves feel fried, with worry and fear. “Babe?”
Roy groans. “Shit, Y/N. I forgot, didn’t I?” His voice feels faraway and you would have been offended by his words had you not hear the crying in the background and you furrow your eyebrows. “Y/N, I am so, so sorry. I don’t think we can make it - Lian came down with the nastiest cold and it’s been really hard and I am so sorry? Can we reschedule?”
It breaks your heart to hear Roy sound so defeated, so tired and so filled with worry and concern for his daughter and being the understanding person that you are, you nod your head. “Of course, I don’t mind at all. Do… do you need any help, Roy?”
Roy doesn’t answer your question instead you can hear him trying to placate his daughter, coming her into eating her medicine but judging from the wailing you hear, he isn’t really doing much of a good job. “Sorry, Y/N. Did you say something just now?”
You begin packing your things - putting the bear and the chocolates in the bag - and gave the balloons to the little girl that had been eyeing them since she came in. “Call me later okay? Hope Lian gets well soon, Roy.” Roy makes a noncommittal hum and you hang up the call, pondering what you should do now that your plan for the night is cancelled.
An hour later, you find yourself standing in front of Roy’s cozy house with chicken soup, porridge an some shawarma for Roy (since you know he skipped lunch earlier). Your mother always made you some porridge and chicken soup whenever you were sick so hopefully, this will be alright for Lian. When you ring the doorbell, you almost wanted to just leave the food you brought since this is really the first time you have ever done something like this - inviting yourself over to Roy’s house. Half of you hopes he doesn’t mind you stopping by unannounced and the other half hopes he wouldn’t be too mad.
Roy opens the door a few minutes later, surprising you with how disheveled he looks and when he actually turns to look at you, his eyes widen in surprise. “Y/N?”
You give him a wary smile before handing the porridge, chicken soup and shawarma to him. “Chicken soup and porridge are for Lian and the shawarma’s for you.” You point out. “I’m sorry I dropped by unannounced but I got worried.” You really did - it was right there and then in McD that you realised just how far deep you have fallen for the man right in front of you and just how much you have grown to like Lian (even if you hadn’t met her yet!).
Roy stares at you with an unreadable expression before he reaches for you with his free hand, wrapping an arm around your waist, hugging you tightly and you carefully wound your arms around him, careful not to jostle the food too much lest it spills. Roy presses his lips on your forehead, leaning back to stare at you. “Thank you, Y/N. I - I really appreciate this.”
Before you can even reply, you hear the pitter patter of feet and you pull away just in time to see Lian standing by the door to the living room, sniffling and tearing up, wrapped in a blanket. Her face looks flush and she hiccups before crying out loud and your heart tinges with pain as she cries out. Roy immediately releases you in favour of heading over to his daughter.
Feeling slightly awkward by the door, you stepped in to the house, closing the door behind you. You follow after Roy and watch as he rubs Lian’s back as he tries to hold the four year old and balance the food as well. Judging from his attire, Roy definitely did not get the chance to change out of his work clothes either and that was probably not good for Lian either. So you place your hand gently on Roy’s shoulder, catching his attention. He sends you an apologetic look. “Why don’t I help?” You ask him as you kneel on the ground beside Roy. He stares at you and you gently take the crying girl into your arms - Lian must have been so out of it because the moment you took her in your arms, she latched her arms around your neck, crying into your shoulders and you could feel the heat radiating off of the little girl.
“Y/N,” Roy starts but you shake your head.
“I can handle her. Why don’t you go take a quick shower, eat the food and we can figure out what to do about Lian, okay?” You look at Roy. You can see the gears in his head turning as he contemplates your suggestion. You could see that Roy is hesitant but when you shake your head and usher him to leave, Roy relents but not before placing a kiss on top of Lian’s head, telling her how Daddy will take a quick shower and that she is safe with you around.
Lian sniffles loudly and tightens her hold on you so you rub her back soothingly, wondering what your own mother did whenever you were sick. You slowly stand up, moving Lian slightly so she is more comfortable in your arms as you made your way to the living room where the sofas have been pushed aside and in the middle, there is a foldable mattress where you assumed she had been resting just before Roy answered the door.
You made yourself comfortable on the sofa and cuddled Lian to you. Her crying has slowly ceased to sobbing and sniffling and her breathing is laboured too. “There, there, Lian.” You murmur as you rub her back, humming a tune your mother used to do whenever you were sick. You made sure Lian is comfortable and continued doing the same thing as your mother had and not before long, Lian is sleeping fitfully in your arms. It was better than nothing, you suppose as you stare at the little girl in your embrace.
Lian’s face is pressed against your chest, her hand fisting your shirt and even though she looks like a mess, she is still beautiful. You press your lips on her forehead, tightening the hold you have on her and continue humming the tune.
You aren’t sure how long you had been sitting there because the next thing you know, Roy is gently shaking you and you realised that Lian isn’t in your arms anymore, causing you to sit up straight in panic and Roy places his hands on your shoulders, stopping you. “Babe, Lian - “
Roy gives you a small smile as he takes a seat beside you. “She’s in her bedroom.” Roy tells you and he smiles, taking you by surprise. You blink a couple of times as you stared at him, unaware of why he is smiling like that at you. Roy reaches for your hand, intertwining your fingers together and he brings your hand up to his lips, kissing it, causing you to flush slightly from the sudden attention. “It’s been awhile since I’ve last seen Lian like that and - Y/N, thank you so much for being here for Lian and I.” He tells you earnestly and you shake your head, blushing at his compliment. “
“It’s nothing, Roy. I just hope Lian will feel better soon.” You yawn and Roy furrows his eyebrows. “I think I should head home now.” Roy shakes his head, throwing an arm around your body. You raise an eyebrow at him.
“It’s late, you’re tired and I really don’t want you to be driving home this late. How about you just sleepover here?” He asks, looking at you expectantly and you mull over your decision before slowly nodding your head. Roy smiles and presses his lips on your temple. “Come on, let’s get you settled in. I think I have a spare shirt that you can fit and some pants…”
(The next morning, when Lian’s temperature went down a bit, she greeted you with a smile and for the rest of the morning, demanded cuddles from you, to Roy’s surprise because he doesn’t even remember Lian being that affectionate with anyone).
Ola! Could you do a imagine with poly outlaws? Something with cuddles. Thank you and I love your blog ~bad english, sorry
A/N: It’s been so long since I wrote something so please excuse how short it is!
It felt as if a truck had run you over repeatedly, you were beyond tired and you felt as if you could faint at any minute. Roy was tripping over his own feet desperately trying to hold on to the rails of the staircase, while Jason leaned on you for support, Kori trailing behind in case one of you fell.
It made an odd site, four grown adults stumbling up the staircase of an apartment complex clad in colorful suits. If you weren’t so exhausted you would have laughed at the situation but the only thing on your mind was sleep.
You all four stumbled into the apartment, clothes strewn carelessly on the floor, weapons tossed on the coffee table with no thought. You aided Jason to your shared room giving a quick check up on his wounds to see if anything was severe. Roy sat on the edge of the bed as Kori wrapped a bandage on his twisted ankle.
“Is he okay?,” Roy asked after you left Jason’s side of the bed, “he seems fine, nothing too bad,”you replied as you got ready for bed.
“He hasn’t had a good night’s rest in some time,” Kori said concerned.
“Well judging by how he fell asleep right as his head hit the pillow he won’t be up until tomorrow afternoon,”you chuckled. You laid next to Jason, laying your head on his chest comfortably along with Kori laying her head on your back. Roy followed, wrapping his arms around both of you.
You smiled contently as Kori placed a chaste kiss on your shoulder. This is how you loved to end a mission, cuddled up with your three favorite people, safe and sound.
“Can you write a Roy harper/ red arrow and reader where reader finds out she is pregnant? Maybe she a little scared to tell him but then it turns out fluffy.” :
“I don’t know if I should tell him. I mean I’m not so sure about having a child myself.” you confided in Artemis.
“But he has a right to know, (Y/N). Besides, haven’t you seen him around kids? He becomes a completely different person.” she smiled.
It was true. His expressions softened around children. His body language, usually always tense loosened up in front of them. It’s like he let his guard down. He seemed innocent and pure when in their company. But that was different, a lot more different than having and raising your own child. What if he decided that it was too much for him and broke it off with you.
The door opened and Roy walked in.
Artemis squeezed your hand and said, “I should go but you should tell him.”
“Tell me what?” Roy asked.
Sensing your discomfort, Artemis replied, “About the new breakfast place that has opened up across the street. (Y/N) was raving about it,” she winked at you and you gave her a grateful smile in return. Roy waved her goodbye as she left in a rush.
“Yeah? Let’s grab something from there tomorrow if you like it so much. My treat.” he said and kissed your forehead.
That little gesture made you feel so comfortable and so guilty in one instant. He deserved to know. He had the right, but you were scared. You decided to bite the bullet and go for it.
“Roy...” you gulped, “I think you should sit down for this.” you patted the couch signalling him to sit next to you.
He looked puzzled but sat down next to you and held your hands, “What happened? Is everything all right?” he asked, worried.
“Roy. I’m pregnant. I found out two weeks ago, I wasn’t sure how to tell you or if I should even tell you. I know you don’t want to get married and I don’t want to either but I don’t know where this is going... I..” you rambled.
You could see the hurt in his eyes, “ (Y/N), you know I love you.” he kissed your hands. “ I’m just upset that you didn’t tell me sooner. You shouldn’t feel afraid or nervous about telling me anything. Anything at all, okay?”
You nodded.
“As for the baby, it is completely your choice. I will stand by you no matter what you choose.” he assured you.
“Thank you, Roy.”
“You are always welcome,” he pulled you closer and you rested your head on his chest. You both stayed silent for a few minutes. You were relieved that you had such a supportive boyfriend and felt silly for not telling him earlier.
Roy let out a cough and broke the silence, “So there’s no new breakfast place across the street, is there?” he asked.
- Will wear a tux just because he knows how much you love seeing him in one.
- Has a short temper but rarely with you. Your mere presence helps calm him down.
- Loves teasing you.
- Has a soft spot for mushy romantic movies but will never admit it out loud.
- Always smells good somehow, even after returning from a mission.
- Agreed to let you give him a haircut which resulted in a disaster after which he had to get his hair cropped extremely short.
- Which turned out to be a blessing in disguise for him since you love the fuzzy feeling of his newly cropped hair and keep running your hands through them.
- You get jealous of the attention he gets from the ladies and he always teases you about it but also assures you that he has eyes only for you.
- Lots of neck kisses.
- Loves lazily laying on the couch with you resting on top of him.
Imagine Roy Harper Having A Crush On A Completely Clueless You
- Roy has been harbouring a crush on you for a long time.
- Everyone except you knows.
- He’s not the best at expressing his feelings which is why he hasn’t confessed yet.
- He makes it extremely obvious and you remain painfully oblivious.
- Always puts you first during missions and gets protective.
- He flirts with you all the time, but you assume that is just his personality so you don’t take it seriously and laugh it off every time.
- Makes an effort to spend more time with you so he can get to know you better.
- Has done the ‘there’s something on your face,’ and ‘there’s something in your hair’ multiple times just so he could touch you without coming off as creepy.
- He tries to make physical contact with you by lightly brushing hands when you’re walking together or by touching legs. Sometimes he just goes for it and wraps his arm around your shoulder.
- He scares off people who might potentially have a romantic interest in you.
- Everyone is frustrated by how clueless you are.
- Wally almost told you once but Artemis held him back explaining that it should be Roy who tells you.
- Kaldur was tired of seeing his best friend pine for you so he finally clued you in on how Roy felt about you.
- You were surprised but you liked Roy too.
- One day, when you were having lunch with him, you told him “There’s something on your face.” He touched his face instinctively to clean whatever it was and said, “there’s nothing,” with raised eyebrows. “Wrong, there’s this.” You kissed him.
- He let out out the most beautiful laugh after the kiss.
“Hey! Can I request a Roy Harper (Red Arrow) x reader (season 1) where the reader is a Green Lantern please?”
I absolutely adore Roy and love writing him:
An arrow whizzed past you and almost hit the devil horn haired boy.
“Looks like someone is here to rescue you.” Klarion said with a bored yawn.
“Wrong. I don’t need any rescuing.” you sneered. Taking advantage of the distraction, you attacked Klarion with energy blasts and started running away to find a way to escape.
Another person started running alongside you and yelled “You’re welcome.”
“Roy, I told you. I had this covered.” you said with gritted teeth, sending a green blast Klarion’s way.
“Clearly.” he replied, in an extremely sarcastic tone while dodging another one of Klarion’s attacks. He turned around and shot an arrow on Klarion’s cat Teekl.
“NO! What have you done. Teekl!” Klarion yelled.
“That should buy us some more time. Come on!” he said, increasing his running pace and grabbing your arm. A pain shot through your arm and you let out a wince.
“What happened?” concerned, he left your arm and slowed down his pace to a halt.
“Don’t stop, we don’t have the time for this.” you said in pain.
“Shut up. Why can’t you be more careful?!” he yelled in anger, shocking you. You knew he had a short temper but he had never raised his voice on you.
“Roy.. what..” you whispered.
He grabbed your shoulders and shook you. “Please don’t take on everything by yourself. I’m here, all you have to do is ask for help. I can’t... I can’t afford to lose you.” he said softly.
You widened your eyes. This was very out of character for him. He always had a devil may care attitude towards everything in general.
“I know I don’t show it or act like it but I care for you. A lot. Please stop being so reckless.” he said, cupping both of your hands in his palms and moving them near his face.
“Roy. I think I love you.” you said staring straight into his gorgeous green eyes.
He immediately crashed his lips onto yours like he had been waiting since ages to do just that. You heard a crash at a bit of a distance. You saw Klarion and Teekl approaching.
“Young love, how sweet. Makes me sick.” Klarion said with crossed arms.
You pulled away from Roy.
Twisting the green ring in your finger, you asked Roy. “Ready for round two?”
“Do you even have to ask?” he nodded, in confirmation as he aimed an arrow at Klarion.
“Miss Martian and Superboy, you two will infiltrate the enemy headquarters. (Y/N) and Arsenal you two will have to keep everyone distracted in the banquet hall.” Kaldur ordered.
“Why do they get the fun part?” Arsenal grumbled.
“That’s because you are still recovering from the last mission and let’s just say (Y/N) got unlucky this time.” replied Superboy.
You shook your head and asked “How are we supposed to keep them distracted?”
Megan answered with a glint in her eyes “Well, it is an event for couples only, you guys could...........”
You were wearing a backless long red dress which accentuated your features nicely. It was tight but gave you enough space to move around comfortably.
“It doesn’t make sense! Miss M and SB are already dating.Why do we have to pretend to be a couple for distraction?” you complained.
“You know, we don’t have to pretend.” Roy joked and shot you a smirk which made you blush.
“Very funny.” you said with a straight face.
He was dressed in a black tuxedo and was looking gorgeous. His auburn hair was cut in his signature crop.
“Shall we?” Roy held out his arm for you. You held it as you entered together.
“Plan A is a go.” you heard Kaldur’s voice through your earpiece. Usually you all would have been linked up telepathically by Megan, but since the incident with Kaldur she had stopped using her telepathic powers for a while.
“About damn time.” Roy looked at you and nodded.
You both swiftly moved to the centre of the room. You threw your glass of wine at Roy.
“Why don’t you go and ask HER that?!” you shouted. And with that, a yelling match ensued between the two of you. Everyone in the hall turned and looked at you both. You had to keep them distracted so you kept the charade going for around fifteen minutes.
“You know I didn’t do it on purpose!” He yelled “It was a mistake. Please forgive me. I have no feelings for her.”
“The missing article has been retrieved. We have successfully made our way out.” you heard Superboy’s voice in your earpiece. Time to make an exit, your voice was getting hoarse from all the yelling.
“I’m not going to stay here and listen to all your lies.” you shouted and started to leave.
“Stop, (Y/N)! I LOVE YOU.” you turned as he held your wrist, pulling you towards him.
What was he doing?! They had retrieved the article and made their escape. It was time to leave so why was he still play acting.This was not part of the plan.
He grabbed your waist roughly with one hand and cupped your head with the other as he began to kiss you shamelessly. It started slow but his kisses became more urgent as it went on.
Everyone was still staring. A couple of people cheered. The shade of red on your face could put the red on your dress to shame.
“ Now; we can leave,” he whispered softly in your ear. You were still surprised with what had just happened. He held your waist and led you outside. His touch was firm but gentle. It made you shiver all over.
“What was that? Back there? That was not a part of our plan” you said.
“Hey, babe? A little improvisation never hurt anyone.” he winked.
You grabbed his collar and pulled him towards your face.You kissed him aggressively,one hand on his collar and the other stroking his hair. You bit his lower lip and left him wanting more.
“Huh. You seem to be right.” you smiled looking at the stunned expression on his face.
