╰┈➤ Sofia Falcone x Female! Submissive! Reader ┆+18
ᯓ♡ Fandom: The Batman (Reevesverse) ᯓ♡ Synopsy: On a night when her fertile cycle has left her aching with need, the reader visits her partner Sofia Falcone in her study. Sofia is immersed in mob business and cannot leave her desk, but she notices her girlfriend’s desperation ᯓ♡ Word Count: 455 ᯓ♡ Warnings: Power Imbalance with significant professional, social, and financial disparity, mafia themes, like references to the Falcone family legacy, organized crime and the associated atmosphere of power and danger, as well psychological intensity, like emotional vulnerability, as well possessive/protective undertones. Explicit smut, lesbian sex, riding shoe/boot, mild objectification, possessive/claiming behavior, titles/pet names like "good girl" , "mommy" and "baby", aftercare, post-orgasm haze, cuddling, very light D/s aftercare vibes, all consensual ᯓ♡ Notes: Written from a place of personal, physical inspiration. The fertile ache isn't just a plot point
You step into Sofia's study after a long day, the faint scent of her cigar smoke and polished leather hanging in the air like a promise. She's at her massive oak desk, surrounded by stacks of ledgers and whispered phone calls, her sharp features illuminated by the green glow of a desk lamp. She's still in her tailored black pantsuit, pants crisp and hugging her powerful thighs, feet planted firmly in those sleek, pointed black heels that click with authority with every shift. You've chosen a light sundress for the evening of thin cotton that clings to your curves, the fabric whispering against your skin as you move. It's your fertile time, that deep, insistent ache pulsing low in your belly, making your thighs slick with need. You want her, Mommy, more than anything.
Sofia glances up, her dark eyes locking onto you instantly. She sees it all; the flush on your cheeks, the way your dress rides up just a fraction too high, the subtle press of your thighs together. A smirk curls her red lips. "Not now, baby," she murmurs, voice low and commanding, not even pausing as she scribbles a note. "Mommy's got to finish this. Sit. Be good."
Impatience burns through you, but you're her good girl. You obey, dropping to your knees before her chair, eyes pleading up at those heels. She notices, of course. Sofia always does. With a casual flex, she extends one leg, the heel jutting forward like an invitation. They're from last season anyway. "Go on," she says, eyes flicking back to her papers. "Ride it while I work. Keep quiet."
Your breath hitches, a moan escaping as you hike up your sundress, bunching the fabric around your waist. No panties underneath because you've been ready for her all day. You straddle her extended foot obediently, bare skin sliding against the cool leather of her heel. The pointed tip presses right against your soaked folds, and you gasp, aligning yourself perfectly. Slowly, you sink down, the hard edge parting your wetness with exquisite friction. Your breasts brush her tailored pants as you rock forward, nipples hardening against the fine wool.
Sofia doesn't stop working, pen scratching, phone buzzing. But her free foot shifts under the desk, watching you from the corner of her eye. You fuck yourself on her heel in needy grinds, pussy clenching around the intrusion, juices coating the leather until it gleams. Soft yearns slip from your lips, muffled as you bite your dress hem, breasts dragging heavier against her leg with each roll of your hips. You're so close, fertile heat making you drip, walls fluttering wildly.
She notices as always. With precise control, Sofia moves her foot, twisting the heel just enough to grind against your swollen clit. It's light, teasing, but it shatters you. Your orgasm ripples through, a gentle wave that leaves you trembling, pussy pulsing and soaking her shoe completely. You slump forward, panting against her thigh.
"Good girl," Sofia purrs, finally setting her pen down to stroke your hair. "Such a perfect little thing for Mommy. Go draw a bath. I'll finish soon and come tuck you in."
You nod, dazed and glowing, peeling off the sundress as you rise on shaky legs. The bath is hot and soothing, steam curling around you as you wash away the evidence of your desperation. Clean and spent, you slip into bed naked, the sheets cool against your skin. Sleep tugs at you, eyes heavy, body lax.
Then, the door clicks open. Sofia slides in behind you, her naked form warm and solid as she spoons you from behind. One strong arm drapes over your waist, pulling you flush against her curves, her breath hot on your neck. "All done, baby," she whispers, lips brushing your shoulder. "Rest now." Her hand rests possessively on your fertile belly, and you melt into her, drifting off safe in Mommy's hold.
After the Empire ✨
╰┈➤ Sofia Falcone x Female! Reader ┆+18
ᯓ♡ Fandom: The Batman (Reevesverse) ᯓ♡ Synopsy: The scent of sex and spices hangs heavy in the bedroom. After a long day, Sofia finds you not with caregiver tenderness, but with a possessive hunger that promises oblivion. She makes good on every word; worshiping, claiming, and wrecking you until the world dissolves into sensation. Later, in the spent quiet, with a black-and-white movie flickering and the smell of Italian takeout in the air, you watch her sleep ᯓ♡ Word Count: 498 ᯓ♡ Warnings: Power Imbalance with significant professional, social, and financial disparity, mafia themes, like references to the Falcone family legacy, organized crime and the associated atmosphere of power and danger, as well psychological intensity, like emotional vulnerability, deeply intimate moments, as well possessive/protective undertones. Explicit smut (off-screen but very fresh), lesbian sex, strap-on mention, intense breast play, possessive/claiming behavior, power imbalance that flips into softness, aftercare, post-orgasm haze, take-out smells, old movies, food mention, cuddling, very light D/s aftercare vibes, all consensual ᯓ♡ Notes: It's about the quiet and safeness of aftercare, because control is everything for Sofia, but sometimes vulnerability and relish is the ultimate form of control. A specific line in this fic was inspired by @darkfalcone and their work Far Too Long. I loved the intensity of their phrasing and wanted to explore it in a different light
The odor of sweat and sex cover the bedroom, only cut by the warm, drifting smell of spices coming from the small containers on the nightstand, from that restaurant she liked, Antonucci's, you think. You were in that liminal state between sleep and consciousness, where the edges of reality seemed to blur a little. She just had to wreck you, in the best ways possible.
Hours ago, you were having a long day with compromises, melting on the couch when Sofia found you. No caregiver tonight. Instead, her eyes darkened the way they always did when she intended to make you hers like it. It didn't take long to move to bed, hooking a finger under the strap of your dress, tugging it down to expose more of your skin.
“That’s how this is going to go down: I’m going to eat this pretty pussy of yours and then I’m going to fuck it until you forget your own name. Then we order food, we eat, we watch a movie, we sleep. Clear?” Sofia said as adjusted herself between your legs.
And she was right. She made good on every single promise.
Quickly, your hips were bucking up in the desperate search for more traction. She grips your hips tighter, her nails digging into your flesh, her own breasts pressed hot against your back as she pounded into you from behind, or her wicked mouth focused on your breasts when she was topping you. You can still feel the ghost of her mouth there, sucking, biting, worshipping. Before she fucked you senseless.
Sofia relishes the debauched sight of you, chest heaving from sporadic breaths with its buds glistening and swollen, shaking legs tensing around her thighs, hazy eyes brimmed with little tears of pleasure.
She quickens her pace as she notices you coming further undone, the pressure coiling tighter and tighter “come on, baby,” Sofia urges, her voice low and encouraging, her hands reaching your clit with a touch light as a feather, circling like she owned it. Because she does. “let go, give me what I want.”
Her words in your skin are enough to send you tumbling over the edge, a wave of pleasure crashes over you as Sofia draws out every last shudder and gasp.
At some point, both of you are in the sheets, your breasts resting softly on her side while your cheek lay in her heartbeat. A white-and-black movie playing low. It's something with subtitles and a light jazz, maybe a Chaplin movie. City Lights? You're not sure.
You blinked, or did you fell asleep? All you know is that when you opened your eyes again, she had changed position, now her head finding its familiar, heavy weight on your chest, her ear pressed over your heartbeat. You press a delicate kiss to her forehead, and for a moment, you think heard her sigh a bit, like if the tiredness of the day finally leaving her too. It can’t be easy, to run an entire empire.
For a moment, you study the scene, her obsidian stands spilled against your skin, breath soft and warm. She looks almost fragile like this: the sharp lines of her face softened in sleep, lips parted, lashes fanned against her cheeks. She seems almost ethereal.
And the reality of it still surprises you. That this formidable woman chose you, it could make you cry. You feel her tightens her arm around you, not awake, just anchoring closer.
Outside, Gotham keeps grinding its teeth. Inside, there is only the quiet flicker of an old movie, the smell of oregano from Italian take-outs, and the steady beat of your heart under her ear.
For tonight, the empire can wait.
She’s the kind of woman who doesn’t raise her voice to command a room, she simply angles her chin and the air rearranges itself. Sharp eyes, the kind that catch on you and don’t let go, like you’ve been appraised and found interesting. Her tongue is sharper still, quick and surgical, humor edged with menace, intelligence worn like a blade tucked up her sleeve. Femme in the way that feels deliberate and dangerous.
The intimacy happens off-center, sideways, the way real things do. Maybe it’s a bath first, water gone lukewarm because neither of you cares enough to refresh it. Knees touching as her leg hooked lazily over yours. Condensation slicks the porcelain while she studies you like a problem she’s solved but hasn’t gotten bored of yet. Or maybe it’s a bed, sheets rumpled beyond recognition, the city breathing through a cracked window. It doesn’t matter. What matters is the gravity afterward.
Because afterward, she doesn’t send you away.
You’re draped over her like it’s the most natural shape in the world, your head tipped just enough to catch the steady, unbothered rhythm of her heartbeat, solid and unrushed. Your breasts rest against her side, warm skin to warm skin, no self-consciousness left to speak of. You feel pliant, satisfied in that dangerous way, like you could be led anywhere from here and wouldn’t resist. Like you’re hers, not because she demanded it, but because she made space for you to fall into it.
Your fingers find her hair without thinking. You toy with the strands near her shoulders, slow and absent-minded, a private habit already forming. She lets you, of course she does. Maybe she’s breathing out smoke toward the ceiling, cigarette balanced between two fingers like punctuation. Maybe she’s just breathing, deep and even, chest rising beneath your cheek. Either way, she’s calm in the way only powerful women are after they’ve gotten what they want and decided to keep it.
She kisses you again, not hungry now, but unhurried. The kind of kiss that says rest, stay, we’re not done, but we’re not in a rush either. Her mouth lingers like a promise she doesn’t need to spell out. Her hand may settle at your waist, anchoring, proprietary without squeezing.
And you listen to her heartbeat and think, hazily, dangerously: I would follow this woman anywhere.

I think Sofia really likes deep kisses.
She likes the type of kiss where she can feel Onix’s tongue press against hers, and her nose squish against Onix’s cheek, and makes her squeeze her eyes shut, and that, afterward, leaves her barely able to breathe. The type of kiss that makes her confuse her passion with her anger and back again. The type of kiss that grounds her, that reminds her Onix is there and will be there still when she opens her eyes.
Sofia likes the type of kiss that shows her that even despite everything, she never really lost her love.

Fanfics Masterlist | Next Chapter →
The intake room hummed with fluorescent aggression, like a constant angry flicker that felt like it chewed on the edges of your vision.
Nurse Phelan adjusted the latex gloves he’d been wearing too long, the powder making his knuckles chalky white. The metal exam table stood in the center of the room like an altar for unwanted sacrifices. And tonight, a familiar one walked in.
Two guards dragged her by the arms.
Sofia Falcone.
Older. Leaner. Her face calmer than any intake deserved. Her wrists were tied, shoulders squared as if she still expected to have men jump at her command.
“Back again,” Phelan muttered under his breath. “Didn’t think you were stupid enough to try Gotham twice.”
She didn’t look at him.
She looked at the wall behind him, with the water stain shaped like a noose.
He remembered how she’d stared at the same spot a decade ago.
“Clothes off,” he said, bored, snapping gloves once more.
He performed the cavity checks, being fast, rough, and invasive as always. And she stayed silent through all of it, jaw clenched, body rigid.
It disappointed him. “Still too proud to scream,” he said, writing her weight on the chart. “They never stay proud long.”
Her voice finally cut the air, low and unmarred. “But you do.”
Phelan blinked. She stepped off the table, naked, spine a line of pure defiance. They tied her restraints a little tighter.
Reaching her cell, the metal door slammed shut with the finality of a coffin lid.
She stood in the small, stale cell, arms crossed, cataloguing the tiny changes since her last time here. The mold had crept higher along the grout, a rusted pipe near the sink now leaked, the mattress had somehow flattened even further, the buzzing overhead light had grown louder. Bad aging, like everything in this city.
Her fingers grazed the concrete wall. Cold, damp, dirty, and too familiar.
Her throat tightened against her will when remembered Alberto in their study. She inhaled sharply.
No, not here, and not now.
Arkham’s air tasted like old bleach and despair and dirty metal. It was a far cry from the vanilla, clean warmth of her mansion’s study.
Later, night arrived like a blade. She was in solitary, where they insisted on placing her for weeks, without light or human contact. Maybe it's for Oz, maybe it's for her reputation as The Hangman. But it didn't cover the noises.
The screams started first; someone begging, someone chanting, someone laughing too hard.
Then, the banging, like someone hitting their head against concrete.
Then, vomiting, and the sobbing followed. Then guards laughing during rounds.
The metal door rattled each time someone walked by.
She lay on her back, staring at the flickering light above.
She turned her face into the thin pillow and inhaled. It smelled like sorrow.
A doctor woke her at arbitrary hours, lights hitting before she could open her eyelids, too bright, too sudden. 'Routine check,' he'd say, though nothing about Arkham was routine.
The memories didn't come as stories. They came as sensations, ghost-limb pains from a psyche that had been systematically disassembled.
Now, she’s living these memories again, like the lethargic drip of something chemical into her veins, turning her thoughts to sludge. The arbitrary shifts, be sedated to a stupor one day, and thrown into raw, screaming anxiety the next. It was a game to them. How much could the human instrument be detuned before it broke? Sometimes, in the haze, she’d hallucinate while the acid battery taste of the medication linger in her throat. The scuff of a guard's boot became the soft pad of Alberto feet on the study rug. The drip of a leaky pipe became her mother’s humming.
Some guards knew her file. The ones who would slide the old Hangman case reports under her door or read aloud the latest Hangman murder articles, mocking her with the accusations. “Read it, Falcone. Remember what you are.” And the morning ritual, the one designed to break the spirit before the day began; being stripped naked, forced to stand for inspection. A daily reminder that her body was not her own, that every scar, every curve, was now state property.
Another day, the procedures in Arkham stayed unmodified.
The ECT technician loved his job. Not because of the pay, but because he got to watch the strong ones tremble.
Sofia was strapped down, wrists buckled to cold metal, ankles bound, chest tight with leather straps. Electrodes were smeared with conductive gel. No anesthesia, no relaxant. It was Arkham, after all, and budget didn’t stretch to mercy.
She stared at the ceiling, face blank.
He adjusted the voltage. “Ready when you are,” he said to no one in special.
He flipped the switch, making her body jerk like a puppet yanked by invisible strings. Teeth clacked. Muscles seized. The overhead lights flickered madly.
He smiled while she tasted blood from biting her tongue, vision dissolving into white.
Then, the current ripped through her again.
Later, Julian found her sitting on the edge of her bed, back against the wall, knees drawn up with her eyes half-lidded, post-ECT exhaustion, food untouched.
He gave her a letter from a woman named Selina Kyle.
She opened it slowly, fingers trembling from electricity and cold. The heat never worked here.
He watched her face shift as she read; frozen, stunned, pained, softened.
She couldn’t help but smile. So Carmine’s legacy wasn’t just hers and Alberto’s. He had another daughter, another woman he’d left to rot in Gotham’s alleyways.
Julian stepped back. He didn’t understand the significance. He didn’t care. But he understood one thing; Sofia Falcone was not broken. Not even close.
In her mind, she pictured it. Gotham glimmered far beyond.
Not as the city she lost. But as the city that still held a new possibility of a family she didn’t know still had. Until now.
“I will burn this place too,” she whispered to herself, voice low, deadly and soft as velvet.
Arkham had taken everything from her once. It would not take her twice. She would survive again. She would escape.
The ashes of the Falcone legacy were gone, as much as the ashes of the mansion. And Arkham had no idea what kind of fire they’d caged.

╰┈➤ Pre-Arkham! Sofia Falcone x Female! Reader
ᯓ♡ Fandom: The Batman (Reevesverse) ᯓ♡ Synopsy: People think Sofia Falcone doesn't notice them, a mistake they make at their peril. But she noticed you the moment you began volunteering at her mother's foundation: quiet, competent, and trembling with a devotion you couldn't hide. It wasn't attraction at first sight; it was relief. In your shy glances and stifled smiles, Sofia found a gentleness her world of power and performance had long since crushed ᯓ♡ Word Count: 1,488 ᯓ♡ Warnings: Power Imbalance with significant professional, social, and financial disparity, mafia themes, like references to the Falcone family legacy, organized crime and the associated atmosphere of power and danger, as well psychological intensity, like obsession, voyeurism, the overwhelming nature of repressed devotion, and emotional vulnerability, deeply intimate moments, confession of feelings, tearful exchanges. Also invasion of privacy (though discovery is accidental), possessive/protective undertones ᯓ♡ Notes: No smut here, it's purely emotional/romantic, like a love letter. This is about the vulnerability of being seen completely, and the terrifying gentleness that can follow
Your first mistake was thinking Sofia Falcone didn’t notice you. People always assumed that, like the men in her father’s circles, Gotham’s upper crust, the smiling politicians who treated her like a decorative daughter. They mistook her charm for distraction, her elegance for softness.
But Sofia saw everything.
And she noticed you the first week you began volunteering at the Isabella Falcone Wellness Foundation, the one she gave her mother's name. You're small, quiet, hair tucked behind your ear, eyes down and hands always busy.
It wasn’t attraction at first. It was… relief.
You didn’t stare at her. You didn’t flatter her. You didn’t perform anything.
You just did your work, head lowered, always a little flustered when she spoke to you, but competent. That competence made Sofia linger near the admin room more often than she had reason to.
She told herself she liked dedicated staff, but it wasn’t that.
It was the way your voice trembled on her name. The way your hands tightened around your clipboard when she walked by. The way you seemed to inhale before speaking to her, as if bracing yourself.
At first she thought it was fear, because everyone feared the Falcone name in one way or another.
But sometimes you’d smile. An accidental, tiny, quickly smothered smile, and it wasn’t fear. It was something softer. Something warm. Something you tried to kill the moment it appeared.
Sofia started watching more closely.
You moved differently when she entered the room. You touched your necklace when she stood beside you. You never met her gaze for longer than half a second.
Not avoidance. Not discomfort.
Shyness. Devotion, even if you didn’t know that’s what it was.
And Sofia, who was groomed to be her father’s heir, his weapon, his polished façade, didn’t know what to do with devotion that wasn’t coerced or bought.
So the feeling lodged in her chest like a splinter.
Weeks passed. Sofia found reasons to come by the foundation more often. To offer guidance, meet donors, approve budgets.
Really, she wanted to see you.
She wanted to watch your shoulders stiffen when she said your name. She wanted to see your breath catch when she stood too close. She wanted to see that shy smile you didn’t think she noticed.
Sometimes she spoke just to hear your voice. “How are the intake files?” , “Did the university shipment arrive?”, “I liked the report you wrote.”
And each time you answered with that sweet, careful softness, that gentleness that her world lacked, Sofia felt something dangerous growing in her.
She didn’t have a word for it yet. But it was warm, and she kept it close.
It happened on a rainy Thursday.
The foundation’s IT guy had finished updating the volunteer laptops. He’d left one on, screen unlocked, files open, waiting for someone to pick it up.
Your laptop.
Sofia hadn’t meant to look. She’d only stepped into the admin office to leave notes for the director.
But your name was on the sticky note taped to the keyboard. And the glow of the screen caught her eye.
She glanced. Just glanced.
And froze.
The tab open was titled:
“Sofia Falcone – Gotham U Speech (HD)”
And below it, in your search history:
sofia falcone philanthropy interviews
sofia smiling moments compilation
falcone daughter speech transcripts
young mafia princess x reader slow burn
how to stop blushing when someone looks at you
do crushes make you nervous at work
Sofia stared. Then scrolled.
A folder on the desktop:
“Research.”
She clicked it before thinking. Inside:
A drafted letter. Untitled. Unsent.
She opened it.
I shouldn’t feel this way about her.
She’s powerful, untouchable, and I’m just a volunteer… but every time she walks into the room I feel like I can breathe and choke at the same time.
I can’t look at her without wanting to cry from how beautiful she is.
She’ll never know. I won’t tell her.
But I love the way she speaks.
I love the way she looks at people like she sees straight through them. I love her smile.
God, she’s the most elegant thing I’ve ever seen and I wish... I wish she could see me too.”
Sofia’s breath left her.
Her hand moved to her chest without realizing, gripping the fabric of her blouse as if steadying her heart.
She read the letter twice. Three times.
Something broke open inside her. Something soft, fragile, years-buried.
You didn’t fear her. You adored her. Not her name. Not her family.
Her.
Not the version Carmine sculpted. Not the princess Gotham whispered about.
You loved the parts no one cared to look at. Her speeches. Her care. Her intellect. Her rare smiles.
The girl she was before the world made her an heir.
Her throat tightened with a pressure she hadn’t felt since childhood.
Then she noticed the door open behind her.
You stood in the frame, notebook to your chest, eyes wide and blood draining from your face.
You realized exactly what she was reading.
And you looked, heartbroken.
“Miss Falcone- I-I didn’t mean- please- don’t-”
Your voice cracked.
You weren’t afraid for your reputation. You weren’t afraid of being rejected. You were afraid of disappointing her.
That hit Sofia like a blade.
She closed the laptop gently, slowly. Like it contained something precious.
Then she crossed the room toward you. Not quickly, not looming, but with deliberate softness.
You backed up against the doorframe, trembling.
She stopped inches from you.
Her hand rose, hesitated, then cupped your cheek with heartbreaking gentleness. “You think I didn’t see you?” she murmured.
Your breath hitched.
“I saw you the first day you walked in.” Her thumb stroked your cheekbone. “And every day after.”
Tears filled your eyes. You looked away.
She tilted your chin back toward her. “Don’t hide from me,” she whispered. “Especially not now.”
Your lips parted and a sound escaped you; soft, shaky, vulnerable.
Sofia inhaled sharply, like the sound hit something deep inside her.
“You wrote that you wish I could see you.” Her voice dropped to a whisper. “I do.”
Your knees nearly buckled.
Sofia stepped closer.
Her forehead rested against yours. Her hand slipped to the back of your neck, fingers warm, steady.
“I see you,” she said again, voice thick, breaking slightly at the edges. “I see everything about you. Every shy glance. Every smile you tried to hide. Every time you avoided my eyes so I wouldn’t know how much you feel.”
Your breath stuttered.
Her next words were quieter. “I don’t want you to stop.”
You closed your eyes, tears slipping free.
She brushed them away with her thumb. “You’re not in trouble,” she murmured. “Not even close.”
“Sofia…” you whispered, overwhelmed.
