"what do you mean you found her?", law asks in a tone that does little to hide his agitation.

"well, we ran into her on that island and she was really funny."

"yeah, turns out she's an engineer and even has some basic medical knowledge."

"so we thought she'd make a good crew member."

"and we just asked her."

"and she said yes."

law looks at his crew with a mixture of aggravation and disbelief.

he leaves them unsupervised once and the first thing they do is pick up a random stranger off some remote island and now, apparently, he has a new crew member. and the worst thing is that he came back three days ago and it took him until now to even notice. but there you are, having dinner with them like it's the most normal thing in the entire world.

"how come no one thought to ask me, let alone tell me about this?"

"well..."

"you weren't exactly around."

"you were away."

"exactly."

"i am your captain. who enters my ship and joins my crew is not your call to make", he says, voice stern.

"technically you said that bepo's in charge while you're gone."

"yeah, bepo approved."

law gives bepo an accusatory look.

bepo drops his head.

"i approved", he admits.

to bepo's defence, you were being really nice to him.

the surgeon of death closes his eyes and lets out an exasperated sigh.

he tells himself it's out of annoyance, because he can't look at his crew anymore, so disappointed in their poor judgement and the fact that they didn't consult him. but in reality it's because he knows it can only be so long until it starts looking suspicious that he can't even look in your direction.

he knows that if he looks at you, he will die.

you're just sitting there with big eyes, seemingly a little overwhelmed by all of this commotion. at least you have the decency to look uncomfortable at the awkward situation law is undeniably putting you in by interrogating his crew about you, while you're literally right there. but he still catches you chuckle quietly at penguin's humorous remarks. apparently the situation still manages to amuse you, even though he believes the embarrassment radiating off your shoulders to be real, and not just an act you put on.

if law is being honest with himself he doesn't actually mind your presence. quite the opposite, if he's being very honest. and that is exactly the problem.

you are adorable.

he thinks you are so. fucking. cute.

he doesn't know what's gotten over him, to be so smitten by someone whose presence he apparently didn't even notice for three whole days. which, by the way, he is thoroughly questioning himself and his abilities for. but he is absolutely overwhelmed by your proximity (you're sitting four chairs down) and the fact that when he looks at your face he immediately forgets his own name. he liked it better when he hadn't noticed you yet.

"captain, pleeeeease can we keep her?", shachi begs, putting on his best rendition of what law thinks are supposed to be puppy dog eyes, but honestly it's hard to tell because shachi's wearing fucking sun glasses.

"we promise to take good care of her!"

"you won't have to lift a finger", penguin adds.

a bunch of "yeah"s and agreeing hums are heard throughout the room.

and law thinks that, wow, his crew must've grown very fond of you in this short amount of time, if they insist on you staying so adamantly. and the worst thing is that he can probably even get behind that.

"i'm not a pet, you know", you say all of a sudden.

and he immediately realizes that this is the first time you said something in this entire train wreck of a conversation and it's the first time he registers your voice and it sends him into a whole frenzy.

once he's recovered he braces himself before he hesitantly looks in your general direction.

he catches your gaze immediately.

fuck.

he swallows, chokes on his own spit and has to look away, coughing slightly.

well, that was embarrassing.

"ohh", ikkaku suddenly announces in an amused tone. "i know what's happening."

uh-oh.

"huh? what are you talking about?", bepo asks. not helpful.

law's trying to look anywhere but you, but he makes the mistake of looking at shachi instead, who, to his dismay, immediately catches onto what ikkaku is on about.

and, shit, it can't have been that obvious, right?

but shachi grins knowingly and elbows penguin wiggling his eyebrows, eyes darting between you and the captain.

law wants to be swallowed by the ground. he wonders if, considering you're on a submarine in the middle of the ocean, that would just mean he drowns, but honestly, he'd be fine with that too.

penguin snickers and leans over to jean bart to whisper something in his ear.

soon enough the whole table is bustling with excited whispers, menacing grins, and muffled chuckles and law finds himself questioning why he ever came back to this madness in the first place.

his gaze lands on you again, sitting innocently amidst the chaos. apparently no one bothered to fill you in, because you give law a look of utter and slightly terrified confusion.

he inhales, he wants to say something to you, hopefully something that will make the disaster about to ensue less catastrophic (which he admits, is a utopian thought) but someone on the other end of the table laughs so loudly that your attention is torn away from him and then it's already too late, because you ask, in all your innocent confusion:

"what's going on?"

and suddenly all eyes are on you.

and for a moment the entire table goes quiet and law suddenly feels hope again, that maybe the gods have heard his prayers, maybe the universe has mercy on him, maybe karma won't strike him this time.

unfortunately, as per usual, luck is not on his side. karma's a bitch. the universe hates him. the gods are evil.

because they all burst out laughing and through the loudness of his entire crew's amusement he catches shachi say suggestively:

"captain thinks you're pretty."

and he dies. just a little.

and then penguin says:

"but he's an awkward nerd, so he can't cope."

and that's it, that's enough to make his soul leave his body, and he's pretty sure he watches himself go through all five stages of grief before he decides he needs to get a grip and gain back control over the situation. he is your captain after all and he'll be damned if his crew's antics make him forget who he is. (and also he really doesn't want to admit that they're right.)

"that's enough", law says in his best captain voice, calm es ever, as he rises from his spot at the head of the table.

"you", he points at you, "come by my office later so i can assess your skills."

he looks at his crew.

"the rest of you - get back to work."

and he turns and walks out of the room.

law exhales. situation evaded successfully.

but he swears, just as he's out the door, he hears penguin say:

"was that a fucking booty call?"

Heading back home from work in another village is a little interesting today.

Sylus x non mc (reader) x mc (platonic with reader!)

Mc is platonic with non mc (reader) because I love mc so much <3 anyways disclaimer!! I SAY NO ANGST! SAY NO TO ANGST AHAHAHAHHA! Mc sees Non mc (reader) as her mother figure/guardian! and is always in a constant fight with Sylus for Non mc's attention hehe! The reason will be revealed in the future chapters~

Part 1

(Name)’s life moved in measured increments.

Shift starts at seven. Shift ends at eight. Repeat.

The hospital lights were always too white, too clean, humming faintly above her head as if even the ceiling was tired. She moved through the ward with practiced ease—checking vitals, changing IV bags, offering quiet reassurances to patients who clung to her words like lifelines. She smiled when she was expected to. She nodded when doctors spoke. She worked efficiently, competently.

Nobody ever said she was unhappy.

But nobody ever asked if she was fulfilled, either.

By the time her shift ended, her feet ached and her shoulders felt heavy in that familiar way—like she’d been carrying something invisible all day. She clocked out, changed into her plain jacket, and stepped outside into the cooling evening air.

Another day survived.

Her phone buzzed with a notification she didn’t open. She already knew what it was—some distant relative posting about achievements, engagements, promotions. Comparisons she’d learned to ignore with numb efficiency.

She had been compared her entire life.

A lone child in a family that believed love was conditional, measured by grades and milestones. Parents who were always busy, always absent, always expecting more. When they decided it was inconvenient to raise her themselves, they sent her away—to her grandmother’s small, warm apartment that smelled like rice and old books.

That was where she learned what care felt like.

Her grandmother woke her every morning, braided her hair with gentle fingers, packed lunches even when money was tight. She clapped the loudest at school events. Sat in the front row at graduation with teary eyes and trembling hands.

“You did well,” she’d said that day, squeezing (Name)’s fingers like she was afraid to let go. Maybe that was a sign of farewell after all.

Five months later, she was gone. Her grandmother was gone.

The house had felt unbearably quiet after that. No humming in the kitchen. No soft scolding. No one waiting up for her.

(Name) remembered the grief as something sharp and suffocating, like drowning on dry land. She hadn’t known where to put it. So she’d buried herself in work. In study. In exhaustion.

She cut ties with her parents without a fight. There hadn’t been enough warmth left for an argument.

University became her refuge and her punishment. She studied until her eyes burned, until her hands shook from too much caffeine and too little sleep. She gave up friendships before they could grow. Gave up weekends. Gave up herself.

She graduated at the top of her class.

People congratulated her.

She felt… nothing.

Now, years later, she sat alone in her apartment, shoes kicked off by the door, dinner untouched on the counter. The silence pressed in on her chest. Every day felt like a loop—wake, work, sleep. No purpose beyond survival. No one waiting for her. No one needing her once the shift ended.

She exhaled slowly.

Is this it?Is this all life is supposed to be?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next day at work, she was just scrolling through instagram during her shift break, only to find an ad of some 3D Game she doesn’t usually care about, the man on her screen, blood crimson eyes, striking white hair, and that smug smirk she wanted to wipe off so bad, oh how she hates people who underestimate things. 

‘Cocky huh?’

“Hey!”

The voice startled her out of her thoughts. She turned to see her coworker—bright-eyed, energetic, already waving her phone around like it held state secrets.

“OMG you also play this nugu ass game?!?!!?,” her friend said, leaning in conspiratorially. “The one you're looking at right now! SYLUS! OH DEAR LORD Zayne needs to strangle me back!”

“Excuse me…?”

“ That's Paper Games’s newest ad! I gotta say their advertising team needs to improve, their game gacha system sucks too.”

(Name) blinked. “A… what?”

“A game!” Her friend’s grin widened. “Love and Deepspace??? I thought you also played it considering that’s their newest love interest on your screen! It's an otome game— well 3D, sci-fi, romance, combat—everything. I’ve been playing since day one bro!”

(Name) hummed noncommittally, already reaching for a chart. “Games are kind of… pointless, aren’t they?”

Her friend gasped dramatically. “Blasphemy. I need someone to scream about this with. Zayne is everything. My love, my husband, my gambling addiction- and Xavier is sweet, Rafayel is dramatic—”

She tuned out half the explanation, nodding politely while adjusting a patient’s blanket. Romance games had never interested her. Love felt fictional. Distant. Something for other people.

“Come on,” her friend whined. “Just try it. Please?”

“No.”

“Bet you,” her friend said instantly, eyes gleaming. “Heads or tails. If you lose, you play.”

(Name) sighed. “…Fine.”

The coin landed.

Tails.

Her friend cheered like she’d won the lottery.

That night, (Name) downloaded the game out of obligation more than interest. She lay on her bed, phone held loosely in one hand, eyes half-lidded as the opening cinematic played.

Pretty visuals. Decent music.

The first chapters passed without much reaction. She met the Hunter—strong, capable, admirable in her own way. She met Xavier, Rafayel, Zayne. They were… fine. Well-written. Attractive, even.

But nothing stirred.

She was just about to close the app when a later chapter unlocked.

The screen darkened. The atmosphere shifted.

The music changed—lower, heavier. Dangerous.

A man appeared on-screen.

White ashy hair. Crimson eyes. A smile that looked like it knew things it shouldn’t.

Her breath caught.

Something in her chest tightened—not fear, not excitement, but a strange, aching pull she couldn’t explain. An exhilaration, like recognition without memory. Like staring at something that had always been waiting for her. 

The name appeared on the screen.

Sylus.

And for the first time in years, (Name) felt something stir inside her chest— warm, sharp, alive.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Interest turned into routine without (Name) realizing when it happened.

At first, Love and Deepspace was just something she opened during her commute—a distraction between stations, a way to make the train rides feel shorter. She told herself it was harmless. Just tapping through dailies, collecting diamonds, checking events.

But soon, the game slipped neatly into the cracks of her life.

Morning commute—dailies. Lunch break—claiming extra staminas she got from the aurum passes. Evening ride home—opening social media to dig information about his lores, future banner predictions, and community discussions.

She learned which day's reset happened for his materials. Which events were worth grinding hard for (even if she ended up grinding it all anyways). Which banners to save for.

And Sylus?

She never missed a single one of his limited five-star banners.

Her savings took a hit—she winced every time she tapped Confirm Pull—her bank account is never safe from the game. Her paycheck was spent to fund her new gambling addiction just like her friend. But somehow, she never regretted every single thing. If anything, it gave her something she hadn’t had in years: anticipation. 

Something to look forward to tomorrow.

Her friend who introduced the game to her noticed first.

“You’re smiling more, Is it because of Sylus?,” she said one night during break wiggling her eyebrows, nudging (Name) with her elbow. “You’re hooked now, huh?”

(Name) didn’t deny it. She listened eagerly as her friend rambled about Zayne’s routes, laughed at inside jokes only players would understand, shared screenshots and theories. They grew closer—bonded over pulls, over lucky draws and unlucky streaks, over fictional men who somehow made real days feel lighter.

And every night other than mornings or during breaks or when she is commuting her way back home, without fail, (Name) logged in.

Destiny Café loaded onto her screen—warm lighting, soft music, the familiar ambiance that made her shoulders relax the moment she saw it.

Sylus was always there.

Sometimes he was sprawled on the couch, legs stretched out shamelessly, arms crossed, snoring like a man who had never known stress a day in his life.

“…You sleep like a grandpa,” she muttered fondly, tapping the screen just to see his annoyed reaction.

Sometimes he sat reading, crimson eyes half-lidded, expression sharp and unreadable. Other times, he spoke quietly to Mephisto, the mechanical crow perched nearby like a silent sentinel.

She liked all of it.

She liked poking him awake. She liked listening to his voice lines on repeat. She liked watching him exist in this small, safe space.

Everynight, she would re-read everything.

Kindled. Card stories. Secret Times. Anecdotes that unfolded like fragments of legend—of vows, secrets, ambition, solitude.

She loved playing kitty cards with him and refused to lose, grumbling every time he won.

“Hey, that was cheating! You sour loser!”

His smug reply made her laugh out loud, alone in her room.

Somewhere along the way, she realized she understood him.

Not just as a character—but as someone who knew loneliness intimately. Someone who had been alone for so long that love became his reason to move forward. His ambition, his devotion, his hunger for reunion.

She saw him not as an ideal criminal boss from book-tok (the inside jokes of this that she learned from the community)—but as someone painfully human.

And yes—she admitted it freely now—he was hot. Criminal-boss-hot. Unfairly attractive. Filthy Rich. Built like a god damn sexy architect. That deep low rumble of his voice that turns her on every time.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

April 17th came quietly.

The date sat heavy in her chest the entire day.

Six years.

She went through her shift on autopilot, hands steady, smile polite, heart aching in that dull, familiar way. Grief didn’t scream anymore—it lingered, soft and persistent, like a bruise that never quite faded.

That night, she logged in.

Instead of tapping through menus, she opened Tete a tete.

Sylus appeared on-screen, voice calm, posture casual. The feature lets her talk—really talk—about anything. Even if the replies were preset. Even if it was just an illusion.

She stared at the screen for a long moment.

Then she began to talk.

She told him about her life. About work. About how tired she was.

She told him today was her grandmother’s death anniversary. That even after all this time, it still hurts. That she’d let go—but the loss never really left.

That sometimes, she felt like she was still just a girl who didn’t know where she was going.

The reply came—simple, reassuring.

"It’s better to let it all out. You don’t need to rush, take your time."

That was all it took.

Her breathing hitched. A small hiccup escaped her throat. Then another. Tears blurred her vision as they slipped down her cheeks, warm and unstoppable.

She cried quietly at first.

Then harder.

Words spilled out faster than she could stop them—frustration, exhaustion, self-doubt. She told him she felt worthless sometimes. That she didn’t know what her life was for beyond surviving.

The screen stayed the same.

Preset replies. Calm voice.

But it was enough. It was enough to assure her that she was not alone.

When the tears finally slowed, her chest aching, she whispered, “Thank you… for listening, Sy.”

She glanced at the time.

23:59 → 00:00

April 18th.

She laughed softly, wiping her cheeks.

“Oh my, I didn’t think time would pass this fast…. ahahahha ...” she giggled, “Happy birthday, Sylus.”

She stood, walked to the kitchen, and brought back a small cake she’d made the weekend before. Nothing extravagant. Just simple. Thoughtful.

She lit the candle.

“Wow,” she muttered, shaking her head with a smile. “Celebrating a fictional character’s birthday… look at me.”

She talked anyway.

She thanked him—for the comfort, for the motivation, for being there when her world felt empty. She told him she believed he had a big heart. A heart bigger than anything in this world, and filled with such love reserved for someone special. No matter what others say. 

She sang Happy Birthday quietly, voice a little hoarse.

“Happy….Birthday to you….Happy Birthday….to…you” she chuckled to herself, “Make a wish…Sy,” she added, smiling at the screen.

No reply came.

She closed her eyes, clasped her hands.

“Sylus… I hope you’ll always be happy. I hope you get the ending you truly deserve. You’ve worked hard. You’ve come this far, Oh how i wish I could just embrace you and wash away all your worry…Oh how I wish I could just carry all your burden and let you free from the fate that was designed to you…” she paused for a moment before continuing, “I wish you the happiest fairytale—one you never have to wake up from.”

She blew out the candle.

“Goodnight,” she whispered. “Sweet dreams… with your beloved.”

She put the cake away, turned off the lights, and went to bed—heart lighter than it had been in years.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unaware—

That on the other side of the screen, Sylus had heard every word.

And for the first time in a very long time—

He was utterly, completely still. He felt alive.

Mesmerized, and stunned in a way that he was aware of everything going beyond the borders.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shut Up and Kiss Me (Time, Twi, War)

Not sure if this idea is interesting enough but I cant stop thinking about it and I thought you could maybe like it!!

I keep thinking about Reader talking with the Fierce Deity's mask (imagining he still sealed in the mask) like he was physically there, just rambling. We could show him the sky and the grass, mundane things, talk about our thoughts and ask questions to him, like what is it like to be a god and if he is happy with his life.

One question that also pops a lot in my mind is asking what gods thought of humans or maybe, what he thought of them, of us!! Ofc he doesnt respond bc he is inside the mask but then one day he is off of it and he remembers each and every question we ever asked, and is willing to answer them all NFKENFKWFKWKKFKWKDKW

Its just an idea, you dont really have to do it, but everytime I think about it or Fierce in general, I cant help but also think about you <333

Im really glad I found your work!! I hope we can be friends!! :DDD

I wish you a lovely day my little leaf!! Toodlessss 🍃🍃🍃

𖠰 Woods 𖠰

Okay first of all, this idea this absolutely amazing!! I'll have you know I was practically VIBRATING with excitement while reading this! You have no idea how stoked I am to receive asks like this, so do not feel bad at all for sharing! Also what we're literally already besties <3

Man In The Mask

Pairing: Fierce Deity x Reader

Warning(s): N/A

Masterlist

What are you?

It was a question the Fierce Deity had heard a thousand times, often accompanied by blood and blaze: a question of those he protected... and those he did not, whispered on the heels crimson-dripped lips and frightful eyes. He was a god of war, and thus not one to engage in the folly of mortals. Orders were his foundation, and steel his soul, wrapped in a righteous evil that not even the goddesses could bear to gaze upon.
