this isn't anything particularly new to simon per se-- has it been awhile? absolutely. with his military status, endless and ruthless missions, fatigue, and never ending nightmares, intimacy is the last thing on his mind. still, he hasn't been out of the loop for that long. probably.
so it's only natural, the way he freezes the moment he sees tears welling up in the corner of your eyes. and when you realize that he's realized? you panic just a little bit.
valko's ears twitch a lot, you notice. they twitch when he's curious, when he's mildly annoyed, when he's happy... and right now? oh, you're absolutely delighted to discover that they twitch when he's flustered and particularly needy.
"be good for me."
arthur morgan doesn't know tenderness like he should. he's never been meant for the good, outlaw by blood and soul, always on the run, always somewhere not meant for the belonging. but you are made of everything tender, of everything good, of everything meant for the sunlight. he doesn't understand why you'd love him-- an ugly old fool that's never done anything of worth, even if he's heard a thousand words of thanks from people all over the land.
no, he doesn't understand why you love him, but he believes it when you say you do ; some things aren't worth overthinking because he knows all roads will lead to doubt and some kind of hurt. it's only right to believe in you and your heart, always.
"what're you doin' there?"
you pause, flowers and twine in hand. it's almost funny, he thinks, the way you blink owlishly like you've almost been caught in the act. but your smile is quick to bloom and his heart is just as quick to beat faster at such a sight.
"making something, arthur." you mumble, continuing to weave the flowers in the twine as he settles next to you on the worn blanket near the lake.
"i see that, sugar."
you throw him a faint smile at his cheeky tone, patting his knee for only a moment before focusing once more. you're not talking like you normally do, not asking about his day or what he did ; instead, your attention remains captive to the flower crown, gaze occasionally flickering to his warm one. he doesn't bother you. he doesn't speak, either, just watches in mild fascination at your dexterity.
and once it's done? it's a beautiful thing-- just like you, he thinks. but he doesn't get to say that, interrupted by the way your eyes seem to light up as you place it on his head.
"...perfect!" you exclaim proudly, letting out a sigh of relief. "almost thought your head might be too big, arthur."
he blinks once, twice, tries to register your actions and words before letting out a laugh.
"sayin' my head is too big?"
"sometimes." you answer, grinning as he pulls you into his lap. "good thing this fits you just right."
another laugh as he shakes his head, arm wrapping around your waist as he peppers your face with kisses.
"...you're mighty lucky i love you, y'know that?"
"mm. mighty lucky, indeed. i happen to love you too, mr. morgan."
leon's been looking at his wedding ring more often, you notice. it's been a month since he's returned-- a miracle in itself.
you didn't know if he would, not this time. he's survived horror after horror, constantly on the verge of loss with infection running rampant in his blood, fought his way out of each and every part of hell-- and you wonder if he leaves behind a part of himself every time. there's a redemption found, maybe, somewhere, somehow, but there is also a forgiveness that is never granted.
it's been a month since he's returned. a month and the healing has only just begun, both in body and mind. the scars that adorn his skin hold some kind of hauntening, some kind of forsakening, and the nightmares remain unforgiving and unwelcoming in the late hours.
he still hurts, even if he hides it. still wonders if he's made all the right decisions. still sees the blood on his hands. still remembers those he saved and those he's lost.

"...you spoke my name for this?"
you smile at xiao's familiar tone. not laced with annoyance-- far from it, really. you recognize the faint traces of a sharpness turned dull, almost filled with something akin to fondness. how long has it been, you wonder, since you began noticing such differences? that lingering distance turned into something of close proximity, that flicker of warmth in amber hues.
"we were in the same vicinity." you remind him softly. "i spoke your name when you were a few feet away, not when we were lands apart. besides, you do not have to stay."
you say this, genuine, but both of you know he is right where he wishes to be. you both stand side by side on the balconies of wangshu inn, looking out to the peace that resides in liyue tonight.
"...i have nowhere else to be." he responds, words quiet, almost reassuring as his shoulder brushes against yours. you feel that tension in his worn muscles, wonder how you can relieve that ache that resides in a yaksha. but as time passes and the silence continues, you feel it lessen, see his shoulders relax just the slightest bit.
"i'm relieved." you finally speak, eyes surveying the land before you, not daring to meet his. there is something tender in this moment, something sacred, and you almost feel as if you could not dare bring yourself to look at him. "that means things are peaceful right now." a quiet observation. a reluctance he picks up on, a harsh swallow, and just the subtle waver of your voice. "i hope it will stay that way for as long as it's able."
he doesn't answer, not initially. you perhaps wonder if you've said too much, if you've expressed your fondness too strongly ; the comfort of the silence twists into something different, something heavier, and that frightens you so. your lips part, but before you can speak, you feel the weight of him.
it's light and it's delicate and it's sanctuary, the way he leans against you. it's something more than a brush of the hand, something more than shoulder against shoulder. but neither of you speak of it, and your heart answers with actions rather than words as you gingerly lean into him, too. this time, there is no tension in his body. you smile at such realizations.
"i'm glad i spoke your name, xiao."
a brief moment of the quiet, then a low, soft hum of acknowledgment.
"i will always be here when you call."
for the loveliest @dreaminghours ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧ i appreciate you forever and always
simon likes when you smile-- thinks it's a damn ray of sunshine in a shitty, dark world ( cheeky, he knows. soap gives him enough grief over such sentiments, even if he never voices them out loud. the eyes say enough, LT, and you're bein' real loud-- or whatever bloody shit he says ). it's a reminder of what's worth protecting, of what's meant for him to return to, of what's worth bearing his heart to.
simon, however, doesn't like when you smile at him like that. means you're up to no good. means he better be on alert for whatever you're about to say next.
in theory, yes, simon riley is intimidating : rough voice, a personality with jagged edges, that cold stare-- but to you? forget any of that. strange how you always manage to humble him whenever he tries to stare you down.
"...you called me dove."
he pauses. it's a habit by now, just a mere nickname ; no reason for you to be looking at him like he's some kind of saint.
"and i'll do it again."
"don't threaten me with a good time, si."
that look of feign indifference-- one you always see through, your laughter, and a brush of your lips against his in quiet adoration.
"i'd never threaten you, dove."
the responsibility of a general is a heavy one-- jing yuan knows this all too well. time is a telling force, and the tales he has survived and told many a time in such intricacies and riddles serve as proof. the weight is hardly suffocating now, he'll tell you with a teasing smile, though you find yourself bearing the task of tending to him and his weariness all too frequently.
...like today, for the umpteenth time. it is not the worst thing to deal with, you suppose : sitting in the grass, hidden beneath the shade granted by the trees. it is warm outside, the birds sing their songs, and here you are, staring down at a certain nonchalant man who naps peacefully with his head on your lap.
"general, it is time to wake."
silence. you watch his breathing, slow and steady. a subtle curve of the lips, often undetected by everyone else except you.
"general. you are awake."
"hush," jing yuan says, eyes closed, that familiar smile growing despite his efforts, "i am resting."
you sigh. you think if you dared roll your eyes, they would simply roll to the ends of the planet, and surely they would not return. what a dramatic fool. two can play at this game, you suppose.
"oh, i am missing my dearest lover, my sweetest jing yuan." you say, exhaling with a small huff. "if only he would open his eyes for me so i could greet him with a loving kiss. if only--"
-- ah, there he is. he looks up at you, one brow slightly raised in amusement as you pinch his cheek.
"what a short nap that was, my general. i am glad to see you awake."
"-- jing yuan." comes the correction, fingers lacing with yours as he brings your hand to his lips, blessing your skin with the softest of affections. "you had no problem calling me by my name moments ago. now, how will you repay me since you have disturbed my rest?"
a pause, then a beat.
"...you are very tiresome, you know."
"yes, i know." a gentle hum. "you love me all the same."
you cannot help but laugh despite your annoyed facade. you shake your head, free hand cupping his cheek as you lean down, lips pressing against his in a quiet good morning.
"i'm afraid it's true." a kiss to his lips, then his nose. "i love you all the same."
FOREVER, YOU & I
i've hoarded your name in my mouth for months ; LOOK HOW LONG THIS LOVE CAN HOLD ITS BREATH.
; ༊ character : leon kennedy ; ༊ fandom : resident evil ; ༊ synopsis : BECAUSE THE WORLD IS FULL OF MADNESS & WRETCHED EVILS, A SURVIVOR FALLS PREY TO THE DEPTHS OF GRIEF & GUILT INTERTWINED. but in the midst of chaos, beneath the catastrophe, leon knows where his heart lies all along, knows that there is always a home to return to.
it'll always be you, he tells you. it always has been. ; ༊ notes : female reader. nsfw. MDNI. quote from sierra demulder. repost.
THE PROMISE OF A TOMORROW DOES NOT EXIST IN A WORLD WHERE THERE IS AN EVIL WALKING , the dead among the living , tragedy upon tragedy in the renewal of man and MONSTER. the promise of a future does not exist in a world where the end lingers in the shadows, hungry for doom and damnation.
leon kennedy knows of horror and loss as it flourishes in his existence, feels the end of days surge in his bloodstream, but even then, he would endure heaven and hell if it meant coming home to you.
there is no belonging without you, after all, and it is in reunion that you are both reminded of this.
"hey, stop th-- no."
you've come to realize that valko is clingy. you ran to the grocery store while he was sleeping-- left for what, thirty minutes at most? and now you've got this pouty little wolf in your bed that keeps trying to bite your fingers in an act of pseudo-revenge.
your brows furrow as you point your finger at him, sharp look meeting his seemingly amused and puppy-eyed one. you've done this little back and forth before. plenty of times, actually, and you know the outcome of this staring contest ( spoilers : you always lose ). there's a brief silence that weighs heavy between you before he gets that one expression.
"val--"
before you can finish your sentence, much less his name, his arm wraps around your waist as he forces you to lay down with him. a little noise of protest from you, a little laugh from him -- and before you know it, your body is pressed against his, warm and safe in your apartment as he nuzzles into the crook of your neck.
"scent's wearing off." he murmurs against your skin, and you almost hate how every ounce of resistance leaves your body the moment you're held by him.
"i was gone for less than an hour."
"could have waited for me."
"you were sleeping."
"mm." he smiles against your skin, pulls back to look at you-- really look at you, and you almost wonder how you could ever think you'd win against those tender eyes. "i miss you even when i'm sleeping, you know?"
a sigh from you and yet another nuzzle from him as he takes in your scent, your arms wrapping around him as fingers card through his hair. ( you'll never win against him, you think, and maybe you're a little okay with that. )

; ༊ character : michael robinavitch ; ༊ fandom : the pitt ; ༊ notes : repost!
on the eleventh hour of your shift, you break.
-- or something like that, anyway. maybe.
not in the sense of typical panic : the tears, the way your heart beats wildly, pounding so hard in means of escape from a sorrow trapped in the hollows of your chest.
no, far from it. here you are, on the eleventh hour of your shift, sitting on the floor, seeking temporary solace as you stare listlessly at the white, sterile walls. there's some chipped paint right there, there, and... there.
you stare. you break. at least you think you do, anyway. because there's this numbing sensation that overwhelms you, a strange emptiness that takes hold of your being. because the weight of everything you have done and haven't done and seen today is too much ; your heart is not meant for tragedy after tragedy. because you are human and not hero, not really.
you want to feel a little safe, if only just for a moment, and you think that is very selfish of you. you want to break and tear at the seams, just for a moment, and you think that is very selfish of you. you want to succumb to the weight of it all, but you can't, not now.
you don't like this feeling.
you think that is very selfish of you.
; ༊ character : jack abbot ; ༊ fandom : the pitt ; ༊ notes : reader has no specific pronouns or features. nsfw. MDNI. repost!
jack abbot stares too much, you think. it's the first thing you noticed about him when you met -- the way he maintains eye contact : sharp, intense. knowing. like he sees something no one else does, like he's looking for something that isn't meant to be found. like there's something desperate in you that aches to be understood. like he's known you for a thousand lifetimes and loved you in every single one.
you've always been fascinated with it. always found it mesmerizing, even.
now-- now, you find it embarrassing.
; ༊ character : arthur morgan ; ༊ fandom : red dead redemption 2 ; ༊ notes : female reader, is referred to as 'missus'. arthur is drunk. repost!
you truly weren't sure what to expect when hosea informed you that lenny and arthur were, in fact, very much inebriated-- ah, well, that was the kind and proper way to describe it, hosea said. you also weren't sure why you were so insistent this time around on tagging along and getting a certain outlaw home yourself; you knew he'd always find his way back to you, come hell or high water.
"honey bun," you say, words quiet and nearly drowned out in the chaos of the saloon, "i think you drank too much."
your touch is as tender as ever, hand gently pulling on his as you carefully, albeit clumsily try to drag him out of the building. you can see lenny laughing loudly in the corner, hosea sighing as he pats the younger gentleman on the back. you can't help but smile at the nonsense, though it falters the moment you feel arthur let go of your hand.
"...sorry, miss." he mumbles, half coherent. "i got a beautiful missus waitin' at home. can't be doing anythin' like holdin' hands."
you tilt your head, brows furrowed in slight puzzlement. must have drank more than usual, you assume.
"...arthur morgan."
"...yes'm?" he suspects you won't let up-- he's preparing for some incomprehensible ramble to shoo you, and you're very well aware of this-- as much as you'd love to hear it, you're a little tired, and you'd like to just go to sleep and be held by a certain cowboy that you love dearly.
"i am your missus."
you both just stare at each other, amusement meeting cluelessness, confusion, and...ah-- there it is. you smile when his eyes seem to brighten up at the sudden realization and recollection that you are, in fact, his.
"...so you are." he says. "well, i'll be damned. lucky me." he mumbles.
you roll your eyes, holding your hand out, the curve of your lips growing ever so softly as he gladly holds it.
"lucky you, arthur morgan."

i'm sorry you couldn’t find me ; i have been in the woods i put myself there because i couldn’t be good. i have been running with foxes and running with crows & i have found myself a home where no one goes.
; ༊ character : arthur morgan ; ༊ fandom : red dead redemption 2 ; ༊ notes : female reader. arthur refers to her as 'missus, ma'am, darling, sweetheart, honey, etc'. she is drunk ( and also very emotional and affectionate ). arthur carries reader bridal style. high honor!arthur. discusses the nature of his self-deprecation. in this house we love and support tht outlaw i dont care what he did !! he is Good to me. quote cr : florence welch. repost!
you're certainly more outspoken when you've had a bit too much to drink. scratch that, arthur muses -- a lot more outspoken. seldom does it happen, but in the far and few occasions it does, he'd be lying if he said he didn't enjoy it. it's too god damn cute, the way you're much more honest, much more clingier.
( and what can he say? he loves taking care of you, loves the way you murmur those soft, half coherent love you's and thank you's a thousand times over. to be honest, he can't tell if you say it like a mantra because you're just that grateful or if it's because you're so wasted that you've forgotten you said it earlier. )
"darlin'," he can't help but chuckle, managing to shut the door to the hotel room, one arm around your back, the other under your knees as he holds you close, "you really done it now, you know that?"
an instant response.
"no, i didn't."
he pauses, shakes his head in amusement before he gently lowers you on the bed, helps you sit on the edge.
"you ain't even know what i'm talking about."
leon kennedy always recognizes you as his home. doesn't matter where he is, whether near or far, what time it is, doesn't matter how injured he is, how much his body and mind tire from cruelty and virus alike-- the mere sight of you, safe and happy, is enough to bring reprieve to an aching heart.
he has endured more than anyone else has in this world, but you know he'd never dare admit that. he's not allowed to, not when he's deemed himself a failure. he may have saved thousands of lives, but for the few he failed to save, he carries that with him forevermore. you know this and so does he.
but you don't recognize him as a failure-- never could, never will. but sometimes words are not enough of a reminder, and sometimes, it is not words that speak the loudest.
so you hold him every night, make sure he feels as safe as he makes you feel. even when it's a little too hot, even when you've had a misunderstanding that day. you hold him like something meant to be cherished, something meant to be protected.
you hold him like he's meant to be saved.
"...you're getting a few grays, baby." you say softly, fingers weaving through soft locks as he rests his head on your chest. you lay together in the bedroom you've shared for years and years. this is your home, your haven. your sanctuary. it's all you know and it's all he ever wants to know.
"getting old." he murmurs. "not as young as i used to be when we first met."
it's spoken in a lighthearted manner, but you can sense the weariness in his tone. you smile, press your lips against his head, feel him relax against your body even more than before.
"...'s okay. we can grow old and gray together, yeah?"
a small huff of amusement before he shifts slightly, looking up at you. there's that fondness in blue eyes you've grown to adore with all your heart ; you hope to continue protecting it with everything you have.
"yeah," he says, quiet, reverent, as he kisses you on the lips, "we can grow old and gray together."

re : the entirety of being
does it bother you, that mercy is so difficult to understand?
; ༊ character : simon ghost riley ; ༊ fandom : call of duty ; ༊ notes : quote by mary oliver. repost ( again, sorry! )
prologue :
BUT THERE IS ALWAYS A WEAKNESS IN EXISTENCE, THE CHOIR WILL SING, BECAUSE THIS LIFE IS MEANT TO BE AN EVERLASTING TRAGEDY : MEANT FOR THE RECKONING , MEANT FOR THE RUINING. THERE IS ALWAYS DEATH, ALWAYS BLOOD, ALWAYS ON YOUR HANDS, ALWAYS ON THE MASK.
YOU SAY YOU ARE MADE OF CRUELTY. THAT YOU HAVE A COLD HEART. BUT THERE IS WEAKNESS IN BEING KNOWN, IN BEING LOVED, AND YOU KNOW THIS. AND YOU ALLOW IT, YOU DO.
act 01 :
the first time simon realizes he loves you is the last time he swears to see you. best to cut off ties now, make it quick and move on. forget it all.
his life is too different from yours : wartorn . gruesome . vicious. he is the knife meant for the killing : sharp . cold . cruel. the only way he belongs in the heart of another is through the blade, and he knows this.
he's lost too many people, lost those he's cared for, over and over and over again, and if he allows this, then he'll lose you, too. he will. he knows. he knows too damn well, and he fucking hates it. he understands this more than anyone in the world.
he claims he has a cold heart ; he'd like to believe that. god, he wishes it could be true. it would be so much easier, wouldn't it? wouldn't have fallen in love with you, wouldn't have to mourn for his family and friends, his comrades. wouldn't have to feel anything, just do what he was told.
it would be so much easier, that numbness. because as much as he wants to stop this, put an end to this tragedy before it festers and blooms into something terrifying, he can't.
( how very strange, he thinks, this reminder that even a ghost was once human, too. )
arthur morgan is not a good man. he knows this, always has. the life he leads is not a good one : an outlaw at best, scum of the earth at worst. a criminal with no means of redemption, the blood on his hands too becoming of everything he knows and everything he is. even saints cannot save him now ( and you both know this ). but you-- you are good, you are everything meant for radiance. you, who is brighter than the sun itself, always find the good in everything, even him.
he doesn't get it. tries not to overthink it, really. easier for both of you that way -- better for him to not spiral in that rabbit hole of self deprecation and doubt, and easier for you -- better that he doesn't push you away, try to get you away from a life you should not live.
"i love you, you know." you whisper one night, your hand on his cheek, lips soft against his, like something meant to be holy. "love you so much, arthur morgan."
he doesn't get it, but he kisses you all the same like it's the only thing that might save him ( as if he was meant for saving, anyway ).
"you sure about that?" he tells you, and the slight teasing in his voice is not enough to mask the doubt that creeps into his being, invades his every thought and second of existence in a brave new world. "better men to love out there, sweetheart."
you hum, gentle, never dissuaded. you and your goddamn heart of steel, so stubborn and soft all at once.
"you always say such nonsense." you kiss him again. once, twice, three times, just in case he forgets tonight. "i only want you, you fool. i love you, always. it'll always be you, you know."
he sighs into your kiss, and you feel the way he smiles against you, like a silent surrender.
( he knows. of course he does. he kisses you back. once, twice, three times. just in case you forget tonight. )
