Lovebirds : Adventures in Poetic Seduction (Hawks x Fem Reader)

“It’s hard to say if Keigo is a drowning man desperate for air or a tsunami on course to leave you a soaked, trembling wreck in a sea of sheets.”

_____

Rating: Explicit

Characters: Keigo Takami (Hawks) 

Inspiration: This fic was inspired by the eternally lovely @lemonlordleah-shinzawa-kitten‘s fluffy headcanon post here, where she wrote the sentence that would be my undoing: “Hawks likes writing letters with his feathers and he’s learned calligraphy with them. It’s honestly just something he does to tickle himself.” 

Me, via Discord DMs: What if…Hawks tried to seduce a reader with dirty poems he’s written in fancy, looping calligraphy. Haha just kidding…unless…?

Leah, shoving me out of DMs and into the world: WRITE THE FIC DAMN YOU

Word Count: ~9.5k 

(Also on Ao3 Here!)

Your suffering began, as it so often did, as a result of your best intentions.

Hawks’ assistant greets you with a wave as you step off the elevator. You both exchange a solemn nod of understanding when you hold up a paper restaurant bag in explanation of your unscheduled visit.

“Keep him fed. On something other than fried chicken, yeah?” the young hero begs.

“Way ahead of you,” you give the bag a little shake as you beeline for the office door. “Got him a salad topped with grilled chicken this time. It’s all about compromise.” 

Since the two of you had started dating, you’ve gotten a reputation at Hawks’ Agency for stopping by and wrangling the head honcho into actually sitting down to take a full lunch break, rather than working straight through and scarfing down whatever junk he can grab on the go during patrols. Many falconry jokes and whip sound effects have been made at Keigo’s expense as a result. 

But Kei has always endured the good-natured ribbing with as much grace as he can. Which usually consists of a smug smile and an equally smug: “Not my fault you all are jealous I have a cute girl delivering me lunch on the regular. There’s no helping it, she just can’t stay away from me for too long folks—” It’s at this point that you usually manage to shove Keigo into his office and slam the door on the wolf-whistles trailing in your wake.

some things never change

Summary: Is high sex supposed to be this emotional?

Rating: E for Explicit

Pairing: Dabi x Reader/Touya Todoroki x Reader

A/N: Uhm… I was high… I wanted to have sex… But like the emotional, you’re gonna cry when you come type sex. My brain was kinda to jumbled to convey that properly I think but I tried lmao.

The room is spinning — not in a way that worries you, not in a way that makes you think you should put down the booze and sober up — it turns and turns and yet you still feel connected to reality. Your only focus is the dark haired male beside you, the rise and fall of his chest steady like the beat of drum even though you know he’s stoned out of his mind. This is the only time you get to spend with him these days, when you’re drugged and dazed, fingers twisting in the carpet mindlessly.

Blue eyes find you in the dim light, pretty as the day you met him. His face is different, but he’s still him, that smile is still your entire world even though half of it’s scarred now. You know he pushes you away because he hates the world — so much hatred for himself — but even as the world around him crumbles you’re the only thing that stays constant. He should trust you by now.

“Thinkin’ way too hard there, doll face.”

His voice is low, much deeper than it is when he’s sober, like he hasn’t exercised his vocal chords in forever. It makes you smile in a nostalgic way; some things will never change.

“What’s on your mind?” He asks and you prop yourself up on an elbow, really looking at him.

“You.” The answer’s simple enough and maybe if you weren’t floating with the clouds you’d have half a mind to stop while you’re ahead. “Just thinkin’ about you.”

susurrated

said in an undertone

gasped

hinted

said low

said into someone’s ear

said softly

said under one’s breath

[wiwaxiasunglasses]

These posts make me unreasonably cranky. So cranky, in fact, that every time a new one of these goddamn things crosses my dash, I’m just going to dissect them. Both for the edification of newer writers and because fuck these lists.

As mentioned in previous posts: These are not synonyms for whispered. You can’t use them interchangeably. Let’s go through them.

“Well,” she whispered, “I suppose I haven’t got a choice.”

The character is speaking in a voice so low it’s become words made of breath, probably because she doesn’t want to be heard.

“Well,” she murmured, “I suppose I haven’t got a choice.”

The character is saying this very quietly, but above a whisper. She may be talking to herself.

“Well,” she mumbled, “I suppose I haven’t got a choice.”

The character is speaking under her breath in low enough tones that her words may sound unclear or slurred. Also very possibly talking to herself.

“Well,” she muttered, “I suppose I haven’t got a choice.”

The character is speaking lowly, but more clearly than a mumble. She sounds angry, irritated, or dully frustrated.

“Well,” she breathed, “I suppose I haven’t got a choice.”

Breathing words may mean relief, exasperation, or exhaustion, and sound half like a sigh. Oh, look—

“Well,” she sighed, “I suppose I haven’t got a choice.”

The character is almost certainly not happy. She’s speaking in a tired, heavy breath.

“Well,” she hissed, “I suppose I haven’t got a choice.”

The character’s words are coming out in low, very sharp breaths. She sounds angry, irritated, or maybe just in an intense moment.

“Well,” she mouthed, “I suppose I haven’t got a choice.”

The character is using the barest hint of her voice, if any at all. Her lips are silently forming the syllables.

“Well,” she uttered, “I suppose I haven’t got a choice.”

Using uttered in this particular type of descriptive sense actually just sounds awkward. That said, ‘utter’ sounds like a word that implies speech in low yet strong and loud tones, well-enunciated, like someone preaching.

“Well,” she intoned, “I suppose I haven’t got a choice.”

The tone of her voice is dull and flat, with little variance in pitch. She is saying this without much emotion (intentionally or not).

Fuck “susurrated”.

“Well,” she purred, “I suppose I haven’t got a choice.”

The manner she’s speaking in is silky, smooth, and particularly pleased; quite possibly smug. In this particular example, this implies she probably does have a choice about [whatever it is] and is being facetious.

“Well,” she said in an undertone, “I suppose I haven’t got a choice.”

This is bad, because an undertone is something that needs describing. That’s like saying “her dress was a color”.

“Well,” she gasped, “I suppose I haven’t got a choice.”

The character is speaking in a sharp intake of breath, probably brought on by surprise or shock. She could also be short of breath, being strangled or something.

“Well,” she hinted, “I suppose I haven’t got a choice.”

The character has particular (duh) hint-hint tones in her voice as she speaks to someone. One can just imagine her leaning over closer to their ear.

“Well,” she said low, “I suppose I haven’t got a choice.”

Her voice has dropped below normal pitch, but is above a whisper. There’s a certain amount of dullness in the tone, probably.

“Well,” she said, into his ear, “I suppose I haven’t got a choice.”

This implies nothing about the actual voice, just that she’s literally speaking right into his ear (perhaps at normal volume, which would be painful). It doesn’t, on its own, carry any connotations of tone or emotion.

“Well,” she said softly, “I suppose I haven’t got a choice.”

I have a personal beef with the word “softly” on account of writers in a certain area of a certain MMO that use that word for fucking everything; speech, movement, touch, footsteps, because it helps to passively describe their character as delicate and pretty or something.

It’s a personal beef. There’s nothing really wrong with the word. Moving on.

Saying something softly implies not only a lowered pitch but a certain gentleness (or at least lack of weight) in tone.

“Well,” she said under her breath, “I suppose I haven’t got a choice.”

This is very like muttered, murmured, etc — it sounds (dur) breathier, and is more likely to imply a person talking to themselves.

“Well,” she said in hushed tones, “I suppose I haven’t got a choice.”

Now you’re getting closer to an equal term for “whispered”; hushed tones could mean that, or half-whispered. It does imply a certain amount of whisperiness or breathiness. It also implies a deliberate attempt to be quiet.

“Well,” she insinuated, “I suppose I haven’t got a choice.”

Like with ‘uttered’, this feels grammatically weird in that it’s usually a thing a person describes another person as doing (“Greg didn’t say it, but he insinuated it!”), but whatever. It’s similar to hinting; it means you’re trying to imply or subtly convey something, but has nothing to do with actual whispers.

tl;dr Those words are all different, these lists are terrible writing advice and people need to stop pulling tangentially-related words from the thesaurus and saying they all mean the same thing.

[tehjai]

[mresundance]

as i tell my students:

“use the precise word, not the word that kinda sorta fits or ‘sounds more impressive’ ”

use exactly the word you MEAN

[ceruleancynic]

THIS THIS THIS OH MY GOD THIS.

I fucking hate those lists, they drive me batshit. Put down the thesaurus and back away slowly.

[saberwitch-deactivated20211209]

fuck “sussurated”

[kotorswtor]

“Sussuration” is the continuous, ambient, non-verbal sound that comes from wind or water interacting with solid matter. A person can’t have an intelligible conversation that answers to that description. Precision is important.

How to Know When Your God Has Claimed You

In my family’s experience, it is never just a feeling. It is real and concrete. Neither circumstantial nor fleeting.

APOLLO

The God of Victory will give you a miraculous triumph at the last minute. Whether through a sports match, a final exam in school or a promotion at work… whatever was impossible will take a turn. And at the moment of your win, the Sun will shine on you. If it is raining, it will suddenly stop. If it is a bright day, it will turn gloomy, except right above you.

DIANA

The Goddess of Fertility will bathe you in silver. When you look in the mirror, you will see yourself wearing a silver necklace you cannot feel on your neck. You will hear people compliment a silver bracelet you cannot see yourself wearing. You will see photographs of you wearing a silver dress when in reality the fabric was black or red.

MERCURY

The God of Wit and Trickery will give you a tragedy. Something unexpected and shocking. But almost immediately, you will find that this disaster has led you to something better than you ever imagined. That is him whimsically turning your car around, showing you the right way to your destiny.

VENUS

The Goddess of Beauty will scar you. Something will wound you. An accident will make you bleed. And then the very next day, you will see no trace of it on your skin. It will miraculously heal. That is her letting you know that she can give and she can take away, now that you are hers.

MARS

The God of War will spill blood in your name to christen you. That boy in school who has been bullying you will find himself in a wheelchair. Some villainous adult you have been feeling threatened by could suddenly die. You will come across books and websites about making your dreams come true and being ambitious and true to you.

JUPITER

The God of Abundance will give you a windfall. Your parents could suddenly get promoted, benefitting you directly. A distant aunt you did not know you had could die, leaving you an enormous inheritance. You could win a raffle draw you would not even remember joining. He likes to throw a party for his new children.

SATURN

The God of Harvest will balance the scales for you so you can start again. Anyone who cheated to get ahead of you will suddenly fall. Someone you deem unethical or immoral could lose everything they have. He will not give you an advantage, but he will take away others’ head start so you can compete fairly again.

URANUS

The God of Chaos will give you endless waking visions. You will spend a whole afternoon in a chocolatier only to find out the next day that it never existed. You will have a long conversation with a man only for someone to approach you and say, “Why are you talking to yourself?” He will let you travel through the veil to different times and realities.

NEPTUNE

The God of the Hidden will whisper in your ear. He will tell you secrets about people, places and things. It is a test. If you use this knowledge to hurt the innocent, you will never hear from him again. But if you use it to destroy only the cruel and the deserving, he will keep talking.

PLUTO

The God of the Underworld will physically visit you. You will wake up in the middle of the night to find a tall, hooded figure standing a few feet away. You will feel sleepy. When you wake up again, you will see him sitting on your bed, silently watching you. The next time you open your eyes, you will see his face inches away from yours. He will not be smiling, but it will feel so comforting.

Shower of Sparks (Hawks x Fem Reader)

Rating: T

Characters: Keigo Takami (Hawks)

Inspiration: Tinder Fail Meet-Cute based on this incredible tweet: “My flight was delayed 3 hours so I was doing what any human does when they’re bored. Minding my own business swiping through tinder & the guy behind me goes ‘ouch hard no for that one?’ And I turn around ONLY TO SEE THE MAN I JUST SWIPED NO ON BEHIND ME HAHAHA”

Word Count: ~1.7k

It’s the first spring day actually warm enough to sit at one of the cafe tables outside your favorite coffee shop. You settle in to people-watch for a few minutes, just letting the sun lovingly toast your face and the tops of your shoulders as each sip of steaming coffee works its magic to heat you from the inside out. 

When foot-traffic thins and people-watching starts to lose its novelty, you pull out your phone. After catching up on notifications and shooting off a few text replies, you’re still only halfway through your drink. Knocking back another fortifying swig of liquid energy, you decide to kill a few minutes braving Tinder.

You go on autopilot, mostly swiping left. Though there are a few promising profiles, one with a clever one-liner bio you haven’t seen before that actually makes you huff an amused breath from your nose, that earn right swipes.

The next profile that pops up gives you pause.
