i love the way u characterize your female readers!!! it's always READER /___ and not the other way around. xx
--đž
Hii đž !!
I could never find the right words to describe my tendency to make my fics about the female readers, but after listening to Purple by Olivia Rodrigo, I finally got it!!
My readers have big dreamsâthey have hobbies, passions, and such. I always make sure to emphasize that in the fics that I write. I feel like it's much more noticeable in my writings cuz I end up writing long-ass paragraphs about their thoughts.
When it comes to modern!readers, I try to incorporate their profession in the story (like my Clark Kent fic hehe). But when it comes to the medieval!readers, I try my best to explore how the politics of the time affected their lives.
Obviously, this is a new style of writing that I'm trying to do đ. My old works are so purple coded đ„șđ«Š. It's just now that I'm older, my biggest fear would be forgetting about my passions, and for that space in my head to be filled with just love.
âAerion is not âloyalâ to you. He frequents his Valyrian whores in Flea Bottom. Do not embarrass yourself-" men letting you down and lying about it what is newwwđ« đ« đ«
Cuz he's a narc who wants Lady Arryn to fawn over him HAHA.
Aerion's the type of man who'd say: I'd rarely cheat on you.
purple
Description: You had big dreams 'til you tied yourself to him.
Pairing: aerion targaryen/arryn!reader
warning: angst
When you were born, the bells rang from dawn to dusk.Â
You were born during the shortest summer in the Vale. People say that you had brought summer with you; because of that, there was not a babe in the lands that was more loved than you were. You only had to look at something twice, then heaven and earth would conspire to give it to you.Â
You were so loved. You still are.Â
You grew up to be a woman of many idiosyncrasies.
The women of your time were expected to be chaste and blythe little girls. They were expected to hide their passions behind their prayers and weaving, but you were different. You were given the freedom to simply be.Â
You were passionate about studying the physical world, namely nature.Â
Your chambers were littered with framed butterflies and beetles. You were fascinated with the iridescent shine of their wings and how they bitterly reminded you of your motherâs demise. The rumors of her demise, at least.Â
Your father says that she died in childbirth.Â
The rumors say that she jumped through the Moon Doors clutching the sword of Azor Ahai.Â
You take a deep breath while running a hand through Morghurâs fur. Morghur is your dog; sheâs been by your side since you were six. She had brown fur and a few stubborn white spots; through your years of relentless annoyance, she grew tame. She had a gentle disposition, and she seldom barked. Your father says itâs not a sign of intelligence.Â
âAre you excited to meet the prince?â Septa Alana asks.
She wasnât like the other Septas. Itâs not a good thing.Â
âA little. Have you seen him, Septa?â You looked down shyly.Â
It is not wise to gush over a man, regardless of whether he is to be your future husband. It is ungodly.Â
âYes, heâs perfect for you, my lady.â The Septa nods.Â
A smile paints your lips at the thought of him, and the thought of the letters youâve been sending each other.Â
You wanted to be an explorer when you were youngerâbut you were a lady, so that wasnât to be. Instead, you dreamed about marrying a prince. You prayed for a man whoâd pull a chair out for you and kiss the back of your palms. All princes are like that, arenât they?Â
.
.
.
âPrince Aerion wants to have a moment with you in the Sky Gardens. Alone.â Septa Alana whispers, interrupting your afternoon tea.Â
Both of you glance at the window to the path leading to the gardens. Your mouth dries at the thought of meeting him.Â
A maiden should not meet her betrothed without a chaperone, lest people make rumors about the kind of woman you are, but Aerion is to be your husbandâŠÂ
âHow do I look, Septa?â You placed your tea down, casting an uncertain glance at Alana.Â
âLike a Winter Rose, my lady.â She smiled fondly.Â
.
.
.
Never have you seen a man as handsome as Prince Aerion.Â
His face was sculptured and imperious, with a high brow and a straight nose. And his eyesâoh, they were like lavender fields. You could just get lost in them.Â
He was wearing a red doublet and a pin with his houseâs sigil.Â
âGood morrow, my prince. You called for me?â You greeted.Â
He turned his head to get a better look at you.Â
He doesnât smile, but there is a glimmer in his eyes that tells you he likes what heâs looking at.Â
You stared at him, waiting for that feeling.Â
The feeling that your novels describe as loveâthe feeling when the stars brush against the earthâs dome and create a constellation. But it never comes.Â
âGood morrow,â his lips pressed into a thin line.Â
ââI wanted to meet you before the feast, to see if you were truly as beautiful as they say you are,â Aerion explains.Â
He wanted to see if you had your grandmotherâs Valyrian features. You did not, but you were beautiful.Â
âAh, you wanted to know whether to flee or to stay?â You teased.Â
He smiled at the thought of that.Â
âBut I would be a fool to leave,â Aerion said fondly.Â
That was where your love began.Â
Aerion played the part of the perfect prince, leaving you swooning and anticipating every one of his needs. In fairness, he possessed a level of geniusâhe rambled about history and dragons. He even brought you to see Balerionâs skull. You were one of the few people who shared his fascination with the doomed creatures.Â
You started talking to each other in the gardens and never stopped.Â
It was like kismet.Â
It was a clever touch of fate.Â
Until it wasnât.Â
.
.
.
They say that purple is the most perfect color.Â
Itâs a combination of redâs anger and blueâs calmness.Â
Since your wedding to Aerion, youâve only been wearing purpleâmostly gowns made from the fabrics of Queen Rhaenyraâs gowns. Purple was a rare color to come by.Â
âHow is your marriage, my princess?â Rowena asks while sewing beside you. She was the Master of Coinâs wife. She was a political butterfly who mostly kept her thoughts to herself.Â
âIt feels like heaven, my lady. We are in love.â You smiled.Â
Rowenaâs lips pressed into a thin line. She clearly knew something that you didnât.Â
âIâm glad for you, sister.â Kiera of Tyrosh said while glaring at the other woman. She was Prince Valarrâs wife, and she treated you like her own blood.Â
Lately, sheâs been struggling to carry her babes.Â
Youâve been offering candles at the Starry Sept for her.Â
âDoes that mean that he is only loyal to you? Iâm sorry for asking, princess; itâs just that my husband frequents his mistresses.â Rowena questions.Â
âHe has promised to only share my bed. Iâm sorry to hear that about your husband, Rowena.â You said in concern.Â
âRowena, can you fetch Prince Valarr?â Kiera suddenly commands.Â
Rowenaâs eyebrows furrowed.Â
âYou should call for your handmaidens, princess.â She answers, clearly offended by being commanded.Â
âDo as I tell you,â Kiera glared.Â
Rowena grumbled before rising to leave.Â
You turned to look at Kiera.Â
âWhat is the problem, sister?â You inquired, oblivious to the way the court was unfolding behind you.Â
âSweet girl, you should not tempt failure by speaking of your marriage to your husband.â She advised.Â
âThereâs no need to speak in riddles.âÂ
âAerion is not âloyalâ to you. He frequents his Valyrian whores in Flea Bottom. Do not embarrass yourself, especially not in front of Rowena. She has a loose tongue.â Kiera snaps.Â
You stared at the beach in front of you.
Your eyes trailed down where the wind had kicked up the tide and turned it all the sameâa mixture of sand, spume, and seaweed. It appeared to be early in the morning. You'd been here since the wine-dark sky lapped against the shores.
Just thinking.
Yearning for your life back in the Eyrie.
Your insects and your dogs.
Your garden and your rocks.
You wonder who takes care of them now.
You brought your legs closer to your chest while the morning air breezed past your figure. Someone was walking towards you, and from the manner of his footsteps, you knew him to be your husband. Aerion.
He halts behind you, his figure casting a shadow over yours.
"Enough of this madness," Aerion broke the silence, "âlet us eat our morning meal." He commanded.
"It's not madness, and you are free to eat without me." You glanced at him from over your shoulder.
You turned to look back at the sea, unable to stomach the sight of him.
"My father commands your presence; they heard us last night!" He gritted his teeth, as if the argument was not his own doing.
You thought the world of him, at first.
You praised him to your maidens until they looked at you pityingly and decided to tell the truth.
Aerion has always had an affliction with the Valyrian-looking onesâhe had chosen you in the first place because of your Valyrian blood through Princess Daella. But you were not Valyrian enough. That's why he sought the company of alabaster-haired whores.
It had been so unlike him.
He portrayed the perfect princeâuntil last night.
"They will always chatter as they please," you weakly mumbled.
As high as honor. You reminded yourself of your House's mottos, but your honor is hanging in limbo. What would your father say? Would he agree with his wife? That you were a dishonorable, persnickety girl?
"Nobody is allowed to chatter about me!" Aerion raises his voice, prompting a flinch from you.
Who is this man whom I share my wedding bed with?
You take a deep breath, straightening your gown and standing up.
You used to dream about the forests before him. You used to think about insects and plants and animals. You had passions before you were tied down to him.
"Who are you truly?" You turned to look at him before walking past.
Hi hi!
First of all im in love with your ormund fic, wildflower, and im so excited for future updates
Alsooooo I've been stalking your blog and I love that we're in the same fandoms and have the same taste in men. Live long and prosper, queen. Keep writing/reposting forever because i love your taste in fics <3
Hi Decaf!
Thank you so much for this wonderful message đ„ș
I remember watching the episode where Ormund was just throwing a tantrum and thought, wtf is this guy's problem lol.
I love and hate him, but I hate him more. I'm pretty sure that's how his wives feel about him.
Wildflower might be my only fic about him, though, as I don't really have an idea of how to write him.
also
I don't agree with the show making him a blood supremacist (Valyrian hater), or rather, the way they frame his hate. The Targaryens are colonizers, periodt; of course he wants them away from his continent.
I DIGRESS.
Thank you so much!! I'll be writing forever.

Being into old men and age gaps, but getting squigged out by the daddy kink is a bit of a curse nowadays. People don't always tag it, and it's like being doused with cold water every time. Can't exit the fic fast enough. Pretty sure I'm in the minority, but anyone else?
wildflower (ii)
Description: You play Cyvasse with your future husband as he tries to persuade you to the Greens' side.
Pairing: ormund hightower/rose!reader (oc house)
Part One |
âWhat is wrong with you?â You growled, begetting propriety.Â
Ormund has been married beforeâto a lady whose name you cannot recall. She had always been called Lady Hightower.Â
Her identity had always come second to her position as his wife. She was unremarkable without him. Nobody.Â
She had been nobody until her death. Even after her death.Â
Ormund has enough heirs to ensure that his lineage would remain for a thousand years; there was no good reason for him to force your hand.Â
Youâd never agree to his arrangement even under normal circumstances.Â
By marrying you, the Hightowers would have everything to gain. Their blood would have lordship over Rosebush. You would lose everything to them and to your son.Â
âI ask myself that very question every night,â Ormund cuts through the mutton pie before bringing it to his lips.Â
There was a slight tightness around his jaw, but he seemed unbothered. For now.Â
âYou would marry me just to have Rosebush?âÂ
His lips pressed into a thin line.Â
He did not care for you.Â
You smelled like roses. You were beautiful and untouched, but you were too bold for his liking.Â
Men catch birds to put them in cages, but Ormund hates birds. They chirp too loudly. They shit everywhere. You are shit, stuck on his shoe.Â
âBe thankful that you were not given to my cunt cousins, forgive my language.â He apologizes. You seem to have struck a nerve.Â
âYou are too clever for your own good. Youâd have them wrapped around your fingers within a fortnight, but not me. Youâll never have control when youâre married to me.â He says.Â
A shiver runs down your spine at the certainty of his tone.Â
He seems to be the type of man who boxes women into two categories: the mother and the temptress.Â
The mother coddles him, becomes everything that he wants to beâand then thereâs you. The temptress whoâd seduce her husband and make him do her bidding.Â
You hate it.Â
You hate his tone.Â
You hate the way he reduces you into something that you are not.Â
Only lightning strikes without retaliation.Â
âYouâll put a son in my womb, mayhaps two to control me.â You glared.Â
âBut I wonât be carrying your son in my womb, my lord. I will be carrying your death.â You threatened, feigning calm.Â
Ormund stands upâyou could not read the emotion on his face, but it was clear that you won this argument. That youâd be leaving a seed of doubt about your marriage in his mind. That heâd constantly be looking over his shoulder from now on.Â
âSer Arthur, send Lady Rose to her chambers. Tell the servants that she does not have the stomach to eat today,â he announces.Â
âPathetic,â you grumbled under your breath.Â
The afternoon sun was merciless, and the Hightower gowns that you were forced to wear did nothing to aid you against the heat.Â
You could feel the lace clinging to your collarbones, making you itch constantly.Â
You were wearing a dark green gown that started at the top of your neck and ended after your toes.Â
The Hightowers were the only noble house that still wore such attireâthe women of the Reach mostly wore cotton and linen at home. Those fabrics were better in the humid heat, as air flowed easily through their pores, but not the fucking Hightowers.Â
They always had something to say about modesty and godliness.Â
If the seven heavens are filled with Hightowers, youâd rather go to hell.Â
âI am to be the Lady of Oldtown. It would not be wise to provoke my anger.â You glanced at the maiden who was busy sewing your gowns.Â
She looked to be a child of ten and five.Â
She refused to bring you food because of Ormundâs ordersâso youâve decided to frighten her.Â
Sheâs a Tarly. Itâs not like Ormund would fetch her head.Â
âLord Ormund has commanded that no food must be brought to your chambers.â She kept her eyes on the floor, fearing the heat of your gaze.Â
âHe may be your lord, but when I am his wife, and he marches off to battle, you will be under my rule.â You started. ââand I never forget those that have crossed me.â You threatened.Â
She stops sewing for half a second.Â
ââI will bring bread, my lady.â She relents.Â
âYou will bring pie and wine.â You reclined on the kline.Â
âI could just call for the Maester,â she seemed to threaten, earning a smile from you.Â
âBut remember to bring my food first,â you rolled your eyes.Â
âYes, my lady.â She sighs.Â
It was dinnertime when you were summoned into his chambers.
There was bread on the tableâa bottle of Dornish and a board of Cyvasse.
"You called for me?" You opened your mouth to speak, softening your resolve. There was no use in making an enemy out of Ormund when it'd be easier to manipulate him as an ally.
He thinks he's better than his cousins? No, he's not.
Unlike his cousins, his intentions were as clear as day.
He wanted to control Rosebush, a tactical position for war.
He needed your legitimacy. He needs you alive.
"I wanted to apologize for what happened earlier," he bows his head slightly. Then he raises his gaze to look at you. Waiting for you.
"I apologize too," you said inauthentically.
None of that was my fault.
He pats the empty chair beside him and you reluctantly sat down.
"Play Cyvasse with me?" Although it sounded more like a command than a question.
"I used to play with my father when I was younger," you began while arranging the black pieces, a reminder of what side you're standing on in this war. "But my skills have waned through the years."
He pours you a goblet of wine.
"I shall play nice," he comforts.
You already know what words are stuck on his tongue. I shall play nice. I have been playing nice this entire time. Test my patience, and you will see how I am when I'm playing fair. You could read the thoughts behind his russet brown eyes.
"No need," you teased.
"I know how to survive," you force a smile.
"And there is also no shame in resigning, my lady." He taunts.
"Only fools resignâwhite moves first, and we're playing classic." You pat his hand, and he moves his rabble two spaces forward.
"Your father was a famous Cyvasse master, if I recall," he says while you mirror his move.
He moves the rabble on the left, forward.
"He was also a poet and a painter," you recalled fondly.
Poems were your breakfast, and paintings, your lunch.
You move the light horse on the left, and he mirrors your move this time.
"It's such a shame that he died early," Ormund reminds.
Mayhaps the curse on your family started with your father. It was not wise to tempt fate, yet your father enjoyed doing itâhe died doing it.
"We all die in the end; it does not matter who goes first or last." You moved the rabble on your left to defend the rabble in the middle.
"In a sense, our deeds matter the most. My father was a generous man, and I'm certain that he resides in the seven heavens. How about you, my lord?" You glanced at him, waiting for the stubborn flicker in his eyebrows.
He takes your rabble on the middle, and you move the other one, threatening to attack.
"If I am not going to the seven heavens, I will make sure to drag you to the seven hells, my lady." He answers amusedly.
"So defensive," you mumbled under your breath.
He takes a deep breath, calming himself, and he locks eyes with you.
"The Mother says that obedience is the path to holiness. You've not been obedient to your King. Between the two of us, I'd worry for your soul more." Ormund returns the question to you, bringing his rabble on the second left forward.
You move your last rabble on the left two spaces.
He moves his dragon, and you take his rabble.
The Seven above rule all men from their heaven. Those who repent of their sins can taste the sweet milk of the merciful Mother in the afterlife.
He takes your pawn with his light horse; both of your horses were diagonal from one another.
He moves his rabble forward, and you take it with your rabble.
He moves his dragon again.
"For someone who is such a believer in faith, why do you forsake eternal peace for your worldly desires? Why give away your spot in the afterlife just to make sure that your nephew is King?" You asked, intending to pry his mind open.
You move your dragon to eat his, and he takes your dragon with his catapult.
You castle your king.
He does the same.
"It's such a stupid war you've found yourself fighting," you insulted.
He clenches his fists.
"If I were you, I would kneel to the rightful Queen." You offered.
"Rhaenyra is not here; she has not come to save you. You have such blind loyalty to an usurper who does not care for your safety. I am here. Hightower is here, and I am to be your lord husband. There is no Rhaenyra; there is no Aegon. You answer to me." He leaned forward.
You moved your catapult diagonally.
"I win," you leaned away from him.
He sends the board crashing on the floor. It's not about Cyvasse now.
"Very well, my lady." He says in a taunting manner.
"You may have won Cyvasse, but once we are wedâI will make sure that you bend to my will."
Next Part >>
A/N: There was a plot with the cyvasse but I lost the plot. I don't fucking know if the game even made sense.
It's funny how Daeron the Dreamer has the freedom to get drunk as a remedy for his nightmares, whereas Helaena can only turn to her mind.
I know the hobbit movies make a big deal about how angsty teen Legolas is and completely screwed his relationship with his dad Thranduil. But whenever I read the Lord of the Rings I cannot help but think: my goodness, but Thranduil must have really spoiled Legolas rotten.
We first meet Legolas at the Council of Elrond. He is dressed simply and for light travel, and does not choose to wear his title as a Prince, instead identifying himself as a messenger from Thranduil, his king. Indeed he often chooses to call Thranduil his king rather than his father, which many have taken as a sign that relations between the two are strained.
However, I propose the direct opposite - that his many mentions of Thranduil as his Elven-Lord demonstrates not only his love for Thranduil, but also his respect and admiration of what a great king his father is for his people.

wildflower (i)
Description: House Hightower secures an alliance with the Roses. They underestimate your allegiance to the rightful queen. (Ormund Hightower kidnaps you and forces you into a marriage to control your lands.)
Pairing: ormund hightower/rose!reader (oc house)
The first hour of the battle was filled with arrows aimed down at the Hightower troops. By the second hour, your advisors had demanded for your escape to the crypts.
And now you have no idea how long it has been.
Now, you were kept with the women and children in the crypts.
Two of your guards were standing beside the door leading up to the spiral staircaseâthat was the only way out of here, and you prayed the Hightowers would not find it.
Your mind drifted towards the battle above you.
You wanted nothing more than to fight alongside your soldiers. Alas, you had no skill with a sword. You were raised to be a wifeâto rule your husband's castle. Your uncle did not have the foresight to predict his family's doom. He did not think that his little niece would end up ruling.
We make do with what we have.
The battle has been raging for half a day now, and it has shown no signs of stopping.
The Hightowers have a dragon. Your teeth burrow into your cheeks.
Fort Rosebush might be impenetrable against menâit has protected your house against invaders, but to put it up against a dragon? Your ancestors decided to kneel rather than find out.
And you have no desire to see your keep in ruins.
You glanced at your people in front of you.
The women were huddled in a cornerâit was the farthest corner from the door. The hallways of the crypts were littered with people. Some exchanged knowing glances, their mouths dry with fear.
The room smelled like concrete and mold; the river brings water through the tunnel when it rains. Your people cannot stay here for long.
"You need not fear the battle." You opened your mouth to speak.
They turned their heads to look at you.
"They will not harm you or your children." You promised.
"And what of our husbands?" A bright-eyed woman asks.
"They stand guard to protect our lands; the enemy seeks to burn our crops and enslave our people. We cannot yield," you answer.
Your presence seemed to satisfy them, for now.
The heat and the constant mental torment will turn them against you. It is only a matter of timeâonce they realize that they are stronger than the two guards who were standing watch, they will do anything in their power to storm the spiral staircases and side with the enemy.
Anything to save their skin. You mused.
But you cannot blame them.
They are merely smallfolk caught in your highborn games.
You sink into the floor, sitting beside Ser Arlan.
He gives you a comforting smile before returning to his guard.
What did you do for the gods to grant you such misfortune?
Half a year ago, your family had been struck by an unnameable diseaseâall of your lord-uncle's sons had fallen to their graves. Your cousins, your sweet cousins, had died in pain, clawing at their necks as the heat from their fever grew too heavy for their lungs.
Theirs was a slow death.
Cousin Alastair was taken by some malady. He vomited blood for an entire month. His stomach could not handle any food, not even the rice porridge that Old Diana had fed all your sick cousins. He'd puke after every meal, and by the end of the month, you figured that he had already vomited out his entire stomach.
Alastair was the last.
Now all that is left is you.
You are the Lady of House Rose. Your seat is Fort Rosebush. It is your duty to protect these lands and their people.
And you will.
Even if it takes all that you have.
It was the Hour of the Wolf when you heard ragged footsteps going down the spiral staircase.
Round and round and round until you could hear them land on the floor.
"Who is there?" Ser Arlan asks as another knight shook you awake.
"It is Ser Frederick," a weak voice answered. "âwhere is the Lady Rose?"
"I am here," your voice was hoarse, muffled by the steel doors.
Your eyebrows furrowed in concern; the sound of battle still rang from above you. All hope must be lost if Ser Frederick sought retreat here.
Your lips pressed into a thin line as you thought about the final stand.
"My lady, we must surrender!" he bellowed.
"Lord Hightower says he'll flood the crypts through the rivers!" He adds.
That was all it took for the steel doors to open wide.
"I thought the Tyrells were the only ones who used roses for their sigil," Prince Daeron says while pressing his dagger to your neck.
You glanced at him using your periphery.
He looks so much like Rhaenyra in this lightâhis soft button nose and his petulant scowl. You are bitterly reminded of how you're trapped in the Royal family's crosshairs. It is a war between a single family, yet your people are the ones suffering.
You forced yourself to look forwards, your eyes meeting Ormund's.
"The Tyrells are more thorns than roses; your uncle knows that." You glared at him.
Your men fought valiantlyâbut they were no match for the might of Tessarion. Hundreds of your men were engulfed in flames in the first hour of the battle; then, as the hours dragged on, you had no other choice but to surrender.
They threatened to drown you.
"âIs that why you are here? Because the Warden would much rather starve us to death than choose a side." Your eyebrows furrowed, feeling the dagger press harder.
"The King sent you a letter asking for your loyalty in exchange for Highgarden." Ormund opened his mouth to speak.
You fancied him in some twisted way when you were younger. Air always seemed to shift its weight when he drew near. But he was cruel.
Ormund takes a step forward.
"I don't agree with his terms, and it's too late to agree to them now." He teases. The only reason that you were offered Highgarden was because of your Gardener Blood, that and Fort Rosebush's position between the Westerlands and Riverrun. He begrudgingly tolerated the ordeal.
You rolled your eyes at his statement.
"I have no desire to have my head on a spike before supper," you scoffed. Daeron pressed his dagger closer to your neck, drawing blood. His uncle raised a hand, motioning for him to stop, and he did.
You breathe a momentary sigh of relief.
"Be thankful that I ignored the usurper," you insulted.
âYou will watch your tongue. He is your king,â Ormund corrects with a cold stare.Â
ââThe Tyrells might not command a dashing army, but they control our storages. A single word from them could plunge us into famine. Your dragons know nothing but to ruin the lands; they will not feed us when winter comes.â You warned, echoing the words of your forefathers.Â
There is a moment of silence between you three.Â
Ormund takes another step forward, and you gaze up at him.Â
You've been aware of the darkness inside of him ever since you were a little girl serving as handmaiden to his lady-mother. There has always been an unspeakable cruelty hiding behind his green irises. The fact that he is glaring at you right now does nothing to ease that fear.Â
He could kill you. Strike you dead.Â
But there were also fates more terrible than death...
âYou may kill me now.â You nodded your head after a moment of thinking. There was no way in the seven hells that you would kneel for Aegonâheâs spent too much time in Flea Bottom to earn your respect.Â
Ormund scoffs.Â
âThe Mother tells men to protect the weary and the innocent.â He recites a vow from the Seven Gods. He looks down at you, catching a whiff of your floral scentâRoses and peonies. He makes a mental note.Â
You could never forget the look in his eyes as he looked down on you.Â
His eyes were filled with wroth and ungodly lust.Â
Lord Ormund held you captiveâimprisoned in Oldtown.
You were lucky enough not to spend your days in the underground cells. Instead, you were imprisoned in your chambers.
Every morning, a septa would arrive for your morning prayers. Every night before you slept, a maester would force you to read a passage from the list of prayers.
You had nothing to do but pray, weave, and read.
Sometimes you'd stare off to the far east and dream of Rosebush.
How long has it been? You asked.
It's been six moonsâit feels much longer.
Your eyelids fluttered gently as you continued reading the passage.
You wanted to sleep hours ago, but the maester was caught up in his work; he had almost forgotten about you.
"Your uncle did not pay his tithes; that is why your house perished." The Maester opened his mouth to speak.
Your eyebrows furrowed.
What is this old cunt talking about? Your lips pressed into a thin line.
He's been trying to get under your skin for a while now, but you've always kept your thoughts to yourself. There was no need to argue over something that the Maester had already decided to himself about.
"Lord Ormund has taken Rosebush as payment," he continued.
Your eyes widened ever so slightly.
"It's not his to take as payment," you snappedâthough your words meant nothing to the older man.
"What belongs to the gods must be surrendered to the gods." He replied calmly, leaving no room for discussion.
A scowl painted your face as you continued to read.
Old fucking miserable cunt. You cursed him in your mind.
One day I'll get out of here, and I'll get my retribution.
Since the moment you assumed ladyship of your lands, you had been met with disagreement. The men of your uncle's council believed that you were not fit to ruleâthat there was no world in which a woman could have the wisdom to rule her lands.
You know what it feels like to be doubted and robbed just because of your womanhood. And now, like Rhaenyra, you know how it feels to be usurped.
âI am done reading, maester.â You said with practiced coldness. "âCall my maidens to prepare my bath." You commanded.
I will not cower at the sight of my enemies. I will return home, even if it is the last thing that I do.
The water felt tepid against your body.
You've been here for half a year, yet Lord Ormund hasn't spoken to youâhe must keep you here for a reason. You are the last of your name. If he wants to conquer Rosebush in the King's name, you are his hope.
Your mind drifts to Rhaenyra.
When you were a young girl, you were sent to stay with Cousin Orly in Kingslanding. Your father had recently perished in a hunting accidentâyour grandfather could not be bothered to take care of you. You were a child, not yet ripe for marriage. Your presence in Rosebush would be a conflict to your uncle's inevitable reign and so, you were sent away.
Cousin Orly was initially kind.
In the beginning, he treated you like his own daughter.
He was one of Princess Rhaenyra's suitorsâhe'd follow her like the stars following the moon, but she did not choose him. He came from a noble house, but he was a blind believer of the faith. He did not have the fire that the princess was looking for, so Cousin Orly ended up marrying a comely girl named Ashara from Starfall.
The marriage was unhappy.
Cousin Orly slowly became cruel and manipulative.
He grew to raise a hand against you.
You remember seeking refuge with Princess Rhaenyra.
"And who are you?" She asked with a kind smile.
To a girl who was tenâthe Princess looked like a goddess.
She was fair-faced and beautiful. She had a crooked nose that amplified her beauty, and her pale alabaster hair made her face shine in the sun. She was beautiful. She was enchanting. She looked like the princess in your novels, and you were in awe of her.
You looked down on the floor and meekly muttered your name.
"Why are you crying?" she inquires while wrapping you in a warm embrace.
You do not remember what you saidâonly that you told her about Cousin Orly. The next day, your cousin was sent to his death, not because he hurt you, but because the crown found evidence of treason.
After that, Queen Alicent graciously offered a place in Oldtown as her aunt's handmaiden. That is where you first met Ormundâhe was handsome. He had beautiful curls and a muscular physique that had everyone swooning. Now he's the devil.
Those days will never return again.
You are trapped in Oldtownâwith no plans of escape.
There are bars on your windows, and you hardly speak with the people around you.
You are a prisonerâstripped of your titles, your lands usurped.
You closed your eyes for a second.
Rhaenyra was the first person to save you, and the thought of being saved once more feels like a warm embrace.
The gods, as if hearing your plea, arranged for a meeting with Ormund. He had demanded a luncheon the following day. He invited you, but it wasn't as if you had the choice to decline his invitation.
"I hope my servants have treated you well in my absence," Ormund sits on the chair parallel to you.
The room smelled like jasmineâyou could almost taste it on your tongue. The Hightowers love the smell of jasmine, but in your family, the flower means death.
"They were kind, especially the Maester." You answered sarcastically, though you doubted that he'd be able to understand.
Ormund gives you a polite smile, one that reminds you of Queen Alicent when King Viserys sits beside her.
"You must be wondering why you are here," he states the obvious.
You try your best to avoid his gaze.
He still has that same muscular physique you've once cooed at.
"Does the King still hold hope that I'd change my mind?" You ask.
"The King is...indisposed." He speaks vaguely, like he's in on a joke that you don't know the meaning of.
Why must he always speak in riddles?
"It does not matter if you change your mind. I have already convened with my council, and we have great plans for Rosebush. Your lands are in a position valuable to the Crownâand since a woman is not of sound mind and body to rule her own lands, we have decided an advantageous match for you." He speaks, his tone chastising.
"I am ten and eight. If I had any desires for marriage, I would already be married." You answered, your eyes meeting his.
"I was not asking for your opinion," he scoffs.
"âand neither was I asking for you to convene your council on my behalf." You scoff.
"Aren't you going to ask who the council has chosen to be your husband?" He inquires with an amused stare.
"Fine, who?" You rolled your eyes, at the edge of losing your temper.
"Me," he smiles.

Sporadic Contingency
The predicament you found yourself in was utterly unfathomable. Death was yet to come for you, perhaps it was because you had a lot to offer the clown; he in turn reciprocated. Perhaps he thought you were amusing, for now.
Your morals must be twisted because one thing was for certain: There was no denying the unshakeable, terrifying tension building between the two of you.

Art being a fucking dom
The predicament you found yourself in was utterly unfathomable. In fact, thinking back through foggy thoughts, you couldn't really trace back to where this started.
You supposed fate aligned correctly for you. Logically speaking, you had a lot to offer the clown, and he in turn reciprocated favours.
Living within the vast forest adjacent to miles county, not many people ventured into the thick greenery. You had resided here for some time, at first with your father and then on your own once he passed.
You're grateful for the fact that your father had such a lively business. If not for that, you doubt you'd ever be able to live so well and comfortably all alone on the outskirts of the county.
You lived in an old cottage with ample firewood to stay warm and luscious land that stretched afar. A lot of it you used to keep animals.
You were accustomed to fattening the pigs up through spring while they birthed their young and slaughtering them in the winter for food supply. It was just another day at work for you; not that you had to work. You could live amiably without any need of strenuous hard work like farming, but you enjoyed it.
It was more of a passionate hobby than a job.
You travelled into town for any necessities you may need in your fathers old truck, but largely remained to yourself and a chunk of the townspeople knew that.
Some called you crazy for living in nature while that killer was on the loose, but you moving into town didn't necessarily change your chances of survival.
Thus you stayed put.
It wasn't until one clear night just after Halloween did you hear a disgusting squeal coming from one of your pigs. It was the sound of a slow death, and it startled you enough to grab your late fathers shotgun and storm outside courageously to see just what the hell was stealing your livestock.
You expected an animal. What you found instead shocked you.
A man, tall and lumbering and clad in a monochromatic clown costume kneeled hunched over one of your pigs, it's body twitching and steaming as it's hot innards met the chill of the outside air.
You heard the wet sound of his hands delving into the pigs guts and gripping a handful before bringing the meat to his lips.
This stranger was eating your livestock. Devouring them like an animal, raw and uncooked and grotesquely bloody.
You remained frozen, shotgun pointed, glancing at the black bag that lay beside him full of various menacing tools stained crimson.
If your father taught you one thing, it's that you should treat people with kindness, especially the strange ones.
The weirdos are the most dangerous, and living out here all alone meant that if one ever wandered into your land, it was probably best to treat them as a guest and act amicably, if only for your own safety.
Steeling your nerves, you cocked your head at the man, seeing the gap appear in the pigs abdomen as it's organs were devoured.
"Might want to cook that, stranger." You spoke gently, shotgun lowered to the floor.
The freakish clown paused, fingers laced in guts, head turning slowly and deliberately to the side.
"Tastes better that way, personally. Cooked, I mean." You shifted nervously from foot to foot, the chill of the autumn air getting through your pyjamas.
Maybe coming out here in nothing but some bottoms and a vest wasn't such a good idea.
The mans side profile was lanky even while crouched. His face held extremely prominent features, and you began to wonder if they were prosthetic or not.
You dared to step directly behind the stranger, his blood shot eye staring at you from the corner, pig entrails held frozen. They were cold now.
"Come with me. I can cook that right up for you, throw a few herbs and spices in and make that a great dish."
The clown let the guts slip through his fingers, gloves tainted red, and stood to his feet slowly. Your breath froze in your throat at the way his height seemed to grow and grow as he extended fully, back straight and rigid, and turned around almost menacingly to stare down at you with a dirty grimace.
Apart from the bizarre clown face paint, he appeared incredibly beat up. His one eye was completely red, and you wondered if it was simply shut from injury or if it had been gouged out. It was hard to tell with the amount of blood covering it.
He had a few large gashes littering his body in various places too. His clown costume was ripped terribly.
You both stood silently, your body shivering lightly at the blustery wind and your hair tousling gently. The clown remained unperturbed to the elements.
His good eye was narrowed into a glare, face contorting in an ugly fashion, eyeing your bare feet, your lowered shotgun, up to your bare shoulders and then finally back to your face.
An ominous smirk began to stretch across the strangers visage. It was actually rather unsettling, even without the pigs blood covering him. Merely the smirk alone set your nerves on edge.
You cocked your hip, hand resting on it comfortably as you stared up at him. "So, what do you say? It's a cold night, and you're looking a little worse for wear. Come on in, I'll help you out." Your words were true, and you think the stranger sensed that, but he seemed keenly aware of the way your voice shook.
You don't know how you knew that. Maybe it was the way his lifeless eyes shined dimly at the way it shook. Eventually, the clown nodded slowly, wordless.
You offered him a smile and a nod of finality. "Great. Follow me, if you would." You dared to turn away from this maniac, though you supposed if he wanted to kill you he could easily do that while you were looking at him; He was huge.
Not in the muscular sense, but in height he was at least a head and a half taller than you. Incredibly lanky and thin but from the way he was devouring that pig, he definitely had strength.
Walking a few steps, you paused suddenly and spun around, your silent guest directly behind you. It startled you but you tried not to let it show. "Mind grabbing the rest of the pig? Wouldn't want it going to waste. I'd do it myself, but you know how a lady gets.", you chuckled breathily; it was hard to speak when his void eyes were staring at you, smirk still somehow present and frozen on his face.
"--Don't want to dirty these pyjamas, they're my favourite. And, pardon me for saying but you're already dirty, and you'd no doubt be able to pick it up with ease, so..", you finished lamely, smiling as genuinely as you could.
It felt forced that time. He was starting to unnerve you.
Finally, the clowns expression fell into one of light thought, doing a visual sweep of your stature. It embarrassed you slightly, maybe he was judging your pyjamas. They were simple, but your favourite. Or maybe he silently agreed that yes, he could easily pick the animal up compared to you.
Dead weight was heavy, after all. And he was a big guy, in a sense.
The clown grinned this time, large and sharp, showcasing bloodied teeth, before nodding vigorously. Clapping excitedly, he hunched down to gather up the pig remains and nodded at you, as though to say 'lead the way'.
Smiling in return, you turned and led him to your home.
As soon as your back faced him, your expression morphed into one of doubt and anxiety.
âąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâą
That was some time ago. It was mid winter now, and Art - the odd clown that had spelled his name to you in blood on your window - was no where to be seen.
You hadn't seen him for two weeks, he often appeared when he wanted and left for days on end too.
You had both settled into an accord of sorts.
The clown was a maniac, yes, and had often tricked and teased and terrified you with knives and hammers, pretending to finally put an end to you only to stop millimeters from your face, laughing silently and slapping his knee dramatically.
You screamed each time, gripping your chest in terror but forcing a breathy laugh to escape you, shaking your head. "Got me again, Art. When will I ever learn?" You tutted, voice shaking and body trembling.
You knew it was only a matter of time before he killed you, surely. So, you did things to keep him happy.
Like offering your old, worn out barn as his work place to fix up his weapons or create new traps. It was dingy and damp, but Art didn't even mind. His mouth opened into a perfect 'o' shape, eyebrows high in surprise, pointing to himself and then to the barn.
"Yes," you had confirmed to him, "the barn is yours. Do what you like with it, I.." you had paused. Art sensed something was left out and cocked his head at you with a menacing smile, hand under his chin as though he was ready to listen to you spill a secret.
"I'm going to be honest with you, Art. Im happy to give you the barn, you do what you want in there and I won't ask questions, but in return I was wondering if now and again, when you're free to of course, if you could help me around the place?", you asked softly, sweetly, your round eyes staring up at him so innocently he often wondered if he should pinch your cheeks until the flesh tears off or flail you.
Maybe not yet. He liked having you around for now. You were sweet and entertaining, and cooked good meals.
Art tilted his head left and right in deep thought, eyes rolling up to the sky as though truly debating with himself, before his large hands suddenly slammed down onto your shoulders heavily, causing you to gasp aloud, eyes wide.
Art began to silently laugh, lifting a finger and thumb to roughly tug at your cheek, before nodding excitedly.
You sighed in relief. Well, you couldn't very well ask him to spare your life as a favour, so you supposed asking him to help you with chores was your only option.
In a way, you think he was amused by how ballsy you were. He was terrifying, after all.
Thinking back to the present day, you hadnt seen him for two weeks, which meant he was either out on a killing spree or recuperating after a nasty fight.
You've since gathered that this man, this thing, isn't really human. He eats because he enjoys it, but you've seen him go weeks without food. This thing you've allowed into your home was demonic, and its sick how fond of him youre growing.
Sighing, you felt fatigue catching up with you as you had spent the last few hours tending to the fields, animals, and other chores such as gathering wood and cutting them into pieces.
Mindlessly lost in thought, you bent down to pick up a log, putting it into place and heaving the axe up ready to cut it. Your arms were shaking; how long ago did you eat? Well, it was around 4pm now, and you've been busy since around 7am, so it's been far too long, and you were ridiculously sweaty even in the mild winters day.
You lifted the axe, elbows suffering and shaking, before huffing loudly and dropping it back down. You really needed a break but you also really needed to start getting this wood ready for the cold winter nights.
Determination taking over your features, you lifted it again, fatigue overwhelming you but to hell with it because you had things to do before nightfall. Inhaling deeply, you lifted it high, stumbling forward as you let the axe split the wood sloppily; it was very off mark, and if your father was here right now he'd make you do it again.
The axe embedded itself into the surface below, and with both hands you gripped the handle to try and wrench it out but to no avail.
Huffing agitatedly, you gritted your teeth and tried again.
The sound of a honk startled you, your entire body jumping and a yelp escaping your throat as you spund around with a hand held to your chest.
"Art!", your tone held accusation but you still laughed. "How long have you been standing there? Please dont tell me you witnessed my horrible attempt at cutting wood.."
Art shrugged, picking up the pathetic attempt at cutting the log in half and scrutinizing it. He shook his head and closed his eyes as though disappointed.
You flushed in embarrassment. "Yeah, that really was a sorry attempt..", you turned back to the axe, gripping it and tugging. It didn't budge.
Suddenly, a pale, gloved hand gripped the handle and ripped it out with ease. You blinked at him in shock, watching at how he slyly looked down at the axe in his hands and then at you, rolling his eyes as though to say 'have I got to do everything around here?'
For a speechless clown, he was sassy. And terrifying.
You smiled tiredly. "Thanks. I'm so hungry and sweaty and gross and ugh--", you shook your head, "ignore me. Are you hungry? I'll go and--"
Fingertips touched your lips to silence you, and then a finger shot into the air, telling you to wait. The clown eagerly knelt down to rummage through his bag of..mysteries.
He excitedly rubbed his hands together as he found what he was looking for, and delved in to grab it tightly.
The clown spun around to face you, item hidden in box, and closed his eyes dramatically, then stared at you pointedly.
"Oh, um..Close my eyes?", the clown nodded happily at you being able to understand.
Your pulse increased, fear gripping you. You wouldn't refuse him. Closing your eyes slowly, you held your hands out. "I-I trust you, Art. No funny games, okay? Please.", you pouted.
Art cocked his head at your pouting lips and shaking hands. He had that unexplainable urge to squeeze you tightly and also cut your lips off with a scissors. You were adorable, he'd admit that. He wondered if a day would ever come where you'd flutter your cute eyelashes at him and he'd grab a knife and burst your dazzling blue orbs.
Maybe one day, but not today.
It was only on rare occasion that you'd catch the sadistic killer of miles county choosing to not act with violence.
You were the only rare occasion.
Pushing those tempting thoughts away, Art held the box excitedly and tip toed over to you dramatically. He was eager for you to see his gift.
Firm hands gripped your own as a box was dropped into it, only a small box.
You smiled uncertainly, eyes closed, and felt the box with your hands. Art poked at your eyelids gently for you to open them.
The box was black. Tattered. You lifted the lid slowly.
A multitude of emotions filled you. You didn't know which ones to show. Art watched eagerly, excitedly, though you could still see the sharpness of his eyes.
The box was filled to the brim with Beatles. They were squirming and hurrying over one another in an ugly display, some spilling out onto your arms before falling on the floor. Luckily, you weren't terrified of insects.
Looking at Art, he began mimicking holding an imaginary box and shaking it hard, then pointed at you.
You shook the box hard, the Beatles scattering everywhere, and gazed into the box.
Your blood ran cold.
A decapitated fox head stared at you, eyeless and bloodied with its tongue cut out and shoved into one of its eye sockets. Beatles crawled throughout its skull.
"A..Fox."
Art nodded aggressively, pointing animatedly at your chickens cooing in their pen, then at the fox, then at himself.
"Oh! You killed the fox that has been hunting my hens?"
Art clapped silently and his eyes dazzled as though screaming 'bingo! Finally!', then pointing and laughing at your pale expression and wide eyes. His gruesome smile was held wide, cutting sharp, as he buckled over in silent laughter.
Your mouth quirked upwards in amusement. Well, he was certainly keeping his end of the bargain. The fox was a pest, after all, even if his method of killing was a little..unorthodox. Not that you'd ever complain.
You couldn't help but giggle at this absurd man. "Thank you, Art. I appreciate that. Now with my hens remaining alive and well, I can make you some more of those pancakes you like once they lay their eggs."
Arts mouth opened in surprise, eyebrows raised high. He tipped his hat in a gentlemanly fashion, nodding at you as though to say it's a job well done. You agreed that it was.
Putting the box down, you gripped the axe once more, ready to return it to the shed. "Well, I'm going to have a quick shower, then how about I make us some supper?"
Art wiggled his eyebrows at you suggestively, and heat lightly warmed your cheeks. Before you could reply, the axe was ripped from your hands and Art had already gotten to work with cutting some more wood. He did it flawlessly.
He shooed you away dramatically, wiggling his eyebrows one more time before chopping through the wood efficiently.
Conflicted in how easily he embarrassed you, you made your way tiredly to the bathroom. You really needed that shower.
âąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâą
You let the hot water wash away the stress of the day, eyes closed as you nourished an apple smelling conditioner through your hair.
You sighed, feeling ten times better already, muscles sore from the strenuous chores you barely managed to finish today.
Standing in the warm confinement of water and steam, you began to wonder if Art was still cutting wood. This led to thoughts about how bizarre it was having a murderer in your residence while you showered vulnerably. He didn't appear to want to kill you yet, and you wanted to keep it that way.
Wrapping a towel around your hair and body, you stared at your tired complexion in the mirror and frowned.
You really shouldn't be so comfortable with his ominous presence, but..
There was something quirky and charming about him, you guessed.
You soon froze at the sound of an alarm blaring.
You ran to the bathroom door, tearing it open. What was--
Was that your fire alarm blaring? But why? You had meat in your slow cooker, yes, but--
Panic surged through you as you darted out of your bathroom and bolted down the stairs. You didn't know how or why but you prayed that your kitchen was in tact.
Barreling through your living room and into the kitchen, you scrutinized the area, seeing no smoke, no fire, nothing.
Eyes wide, you ran to the slow cooker and switched it off. There wasn't even any smoke coming from it, how had your alarm gone off? Bending to check in your oven, you confirmed what you already knew - there was nothing in there.
Standing straight, hands on your hips in annoyance at that blaring alarm, you sighed aloud. Your towel remained upon your head, however loose hair had managed to escape and fall upon your shoulders from your erratic movements.
Glancing around desperately, Art was no where to be found. With his height, he could probably reach the alarm on your ceiling and deactivate it. You spent no time waiting for his possible arrival and grabbed a chair.
Lugging it over to the centre of the room, you gripped the top of it and shakily stood tall upon the chair. Reaching up high, you fiddled with the alarm, attempting to get a good grip to be able to remove it.
You huffed, making a sound of aggravation as your towel somehow remained firm around your figure, even if it was short. The water from the shower was cold on your body now and it only seemed to worsen your mood.
Finally managing to rip the damn thing from the ceiling, you removed the batteries and tossed it to the floor with a scowl. Stupid faulty alarm.
In a less than desirable mood, your hand gripped the chair to steady yourself. Before you could even put a foot on the floor, a honk sounded so close to you it had you yelping; you hadn't even sensed him let alone heard him.
Wide eyed, you stared down at the clown. His shoulder was practically brushing your outer thigh as you stood high. "Oh, Art, I didn't see you--"
A hand being thrust out to you interrupted you. He was offering his large hand to you, and although uncertain, you couldn't deny that he had a peculiar charm. Smiling, you gripped his hand with your own to steady yourself, lifting one leg to put on the floor.
Except you never did. You barely caught the malicious grin the clown gave you, eyes narrowed into slits and teeth bared as he lifted one foot backwards and kicked the chair out from under you.
The leg of the chair shattered from the force, splintering and bending as you began to topple to the floor. You screamed, eyes squeezed shut.
You thought you had whiplash at the way your hand was wrenched painfully towards his body, your figure pressed up against his as your head butted into his chest.
He had an arm around your waist, suspending your weight in the air against his body with no difficulty.
The clown remained frozen, grin still as wide and terrifying. Your feet barely brushed the floor. "Art!", you screeched, body shaking from adrenaline, hair towel fallen to the floor.
The clowns eyes snapped to yours disturbingly. Before you could berate him further, you were tossed upwards until dexterous hands rested at your shoulders and below your knees. He was holding you bridal style and it terrified you.
You cried out in shock, gripping his clown suit between white knuckles, bath towel beginning to slip ever so slightly. You felt a mixture of terror and embarrassment at being in the brutal arms of the county killer.
And the terror only increased tenfold as the clown removed his grip from supporting your shoulders for mere seconds, your body heading straight for the floor, before securing his arms around you again before you could make impact, shoulders moving in silent laughter.
You truly screamed that time, legs kicking out and arms wrapping around his neck instinctively. Your eyes squeezed shut, towel slipping even more; it mortified you.
"Oh my goodness, Art, you terrified me! And I bet it was you that set off my alarm?", you accused in a high pitched, shaky tone, grasping him incredibly tight as you felt his fingers teasingly loosen just to scare you.
Art nodded vigorously, proud and excited that he had been caught, and snapped his head down at you. His grin of sinister glee slowly morphed into a knowing, filthy smirk.
You blinked up at him vulnerably, wide and glassy eyed, rigid in his arms, before realising that oh my God, you were in a towel this entire time, a short towel that surely moved during the commotion--
He must have noticed the sudden panic in your eyes, for his lecherous smirk stretched terrifyingly, eyes narrowed.
Surprisingly pervertedly, Art glanced down at your body swiftly. Once, twice. An indication that you should probably take a look. His eyebrows wiggled, and without needing to look, your cheeks reddened, lips parted in shock.
Head snapping down at yourself, a flush spread from your neck to your cheeks. The towel had dropped so low your breasts were threatening to spill out obscenely. It didn't help that you were of ample size.
And although everything else vital was covered, the way your upper thigh was exposed had you squirming desperately to try and make some distance.
"Ah!", you cried, "my towel! Put me down!" You demanded helplessly, overcome by embarrassment as Art snickered silently at your need to protect your intimates.
Art dropped the arm holding your legs, letting them crash upon the floor painfully. The sudden downward motion had you squealing, gripping him hard. You were grateful that he supported your upper body, you supposed.
The way your body dropped had your towel falling fully for a split second before you ripped it back up to cover your modesty.
You tore yourself away from him - he let you - and stared at him with wide eyes, chest panting in fear and fluttering peculiarly.
Your hands shook as you gripped your towel, knees knocking together, withering under the intense stare of the clown as he foregone his usual dramatic, knee slapping laugh and instead almost seemed to chuckle in amusement, brows as low as they could go, head tilting in fascination at your half naked state.
He expected anger, frustration, undeniable fear at his actions towards you. What intrigued him was the way your round cheeks flared crimson and how your eyes, usually relatively confident when regarding him, fluttered everywhere but him.
Yes, he decided, head tilting left and right slowly, deciphering. You seemed incredibly flustered.
He felt lust, often. For blood, violence, but rarely sexually. Pain was sweeter than pleasure, he thought, but regarding you now, languidly staring at you from head to toe, an idea struck his mind...
An idea you couldn't decipher, but the way his eyes lit up and his eyebrows rose pleasantly sent heat flaring through you.
You didn't allow it to consume you any further as you darted up the stairs and into your room.
On the way past him, you saw his shoulders moving in a silent, mean laughter.
âąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâą
That had been two days ago. Since then, you continued on as normal..
Or as normal as can be.
Art remained busy in the old barn, the sounds of hammering and God knows what else permeating the quiet air at all hours of the day, and oftentimes there would be silence; He had left.
It had been a full day and a half since you last took sight of him. It was unusual how domesticated you felt, preparing enough food for two with a little extra leftover, keeping only the dark towels in the bathroom from when he no doubt came strolling in covered in blood and took a shower.
You came to notice he was meticulously clean about things he deemed worthy, such as his clown suit and himself. He loved to bathe in his victims blood, yes, but after a fun days work, you often found him spotless. Well, apart from his teeth. Bizarrely, he didn't utterly stink, and you come to the conclusion that he chose his terrifying mouth to look that way on purpose.
That was good. You appreciated that even if he didn't necessarily do it for you.
The only thing you had gently persuaded him on was allowing you to at least dry his clown suit before putting it on. With a roll of his eyes, he allowed it.
There were very few things he allowed genuinely, and you seemed to believe he had grown accustomed to your gentle naggings of 'Art, please don't touch that with blood on your hands', or 'There was no need to trail bloody footprints all over my kitchen'
You never demanded. That probably helped. Of course he had days where he'd grin mischievously and smear blood across your mirrors and door handles, knowing you'd have to touch it and clean it.
You could live with that. Thankfully, after a night of killing, he was reasonably tame, eating whatever food you kept in your cupboards with a calm expression.
That wasn't to say that he wasn't unpredictable. He could snap on times and come at you with a knife, chasing you around the kitchen as you screeched and whined for him to stop, all the while watching him laugh with glee.
And on real scary nights when he seemed bored, well..
Anything could happen then. Even still, Art remained tame as of yet in comparison to the things he is capable of. He clearly saw a need in you, and repaid your generous cooking, cleaning and fixing up his costume for him with keeping you alive and leaving you mostly unharmed.
A cut here or there, yeah, and definitely a bruise but you were alive and well.
The only real affect he had on you was terror, he did enjoy popping up randomly in the dark when you had got up for a glass of water, hand roughly pushed over your mouth as your screams muffled into his hand before realising who had caught you.
Or the times you'd check on him in the old barn, just to see if he was around for dinner, calling his name out. Venturing in, you'd freeze as the door shut behind you, darkness enveloping the entire area, only for the sound of a flame thrower igniting near you making you scream and cover your mouth in terror.
Each time you'd ramble something like 'Art, stop it! I-Im making beef for dinner and I just wanted to check that you wanted some!'
The clown would tug on your cheeks with both hands, patting your head as though to say 'how adorable are you?' before pushing you surprisingly gently towards the door and shooing you away.
You'd run back to the house with your chest beating so loudly you could hear it in your ears.
Presently, you were wearing a cute brown dress, tights covering your legs as you cleaned around the place. Loving the winter, you brought out your cosy candles and fairy lights, loving the gentle glow as the nights grew longer and the sun faded earlier. It wasn't quite time to decorate for Christmas yet, so this will do.
In fact, having a little break from the clown had allowed you to really tidy everything up, get your chores done, see to the animals and bake some brownies in the oven.
All in all you felt refreshed and well, truly in your element. It allowed you to push.. peculiar thoughts of Art from your mind.
Time carried on, and the brownies were cooling on the baking tray as you sat comfortably on your settee, a white blanket decorated in pumpkins covering you. You loved Halloween, too.
Dropping off to sleep, your mind felt at peace until a muffled sound was heard from outside. Lifting your head, you didn't react as you awaited Art to barge in at any moment, only..nothing.
Sitting up, you waited silently, hearing that muffling once again.
You frowned. Art was a master of silence, if he didn't want you to even hear the rustling of his bag, you wouldn't.
So why did you hear leaves crunching loudly, and..
Oh.
That wasn't Art.
You could hear voices mumbling now, close to your window, though unintelligible. You wondered who it could be. You had no known close relatives, and no friends, really.
Not close enough to appear unannounced on a late Friday evening, anyway.
Living in the middle of no where, you learned to be cautious of such sounds. You had no neighbours, and hardly anyone ever passed your cottage. Those that did tended to knock politely, not skirt around your perimeter sneakily.
Aside from Art; he's different.
Standing swiftly, you opened a drawer, gripping a handgun. You could never be too careful out here all alone, and you doubted it would go down easy if you stood with your shotgun aimed at them.
Handgun it is. Hiding it furtively, you stepped outside with confidence.
The sight of two men dressed head to toe in black greeted you, peeking through your curtains.
"Can I help you?", you began politely, causing them to bolt upright and spin around to face you. You couldn't see their faces.
They weren't amicable strangers, that was for certain.
"That truck yours?", the tallest indicated with a nod of his head.
"It is."
"You, uh..you live alone?"
You smiled.
"I do."
The two men sprung into action. "You do, do you? Be a good girl and chuck me the keys."
"Why would I ever do that?" You remained calm, pulse elevating, adrenaline begining to grow.
"Why?", the other repeated with a scoff, and swiftly pulled a knife out from his pocket, "because I want to see your round ass walk away like a good bitch, so go grab those fucking keys before I cut your face off."
Talk about overboard.
Nodding politely, you backstepped. "I understand. I don't want any trouble, give me one moment, please."
You backstepped further into your house, keeping the door open.
As you did, you heard one of the men hiss 'im not a fucking murderer, let's just get the truck and fucking go!'
You had a few options here.
You could run, hide, call the police.
You shook your head and steeled your nerves. Hell no. This was your damn property.
The two men looked around cautiously, impatient. "Where the fuck is she? We should've gone in with her."
"She's terrified, bitch probably can't find the keys."
They heard the sound of a gun cocking. Loudly.
Turning back to the door, you supposed they never thought to see a shotgun aiming directly at them. You could see their eyes widen behind a black robber mask.
"Woah, hey, keep the fucking keys--", one began, hands in the air, knife dropped to the floor.
You remember holding this very shotgun the night you met Art. You smartly lowered it, knowing true evil and terror when you saw it.
But these two? They had nothing on Art. Just average men, trying hard to terrify a woman. A nasty smirk broke out on your face, one of anger and satisfaction.
"I'll tell you what's going to happen. You're going to get the fuck off my property before I blow a hole in your chest. How's that sound?"
The scared one nodded vigorously, hands jittering as he backstepped, ready to bolt. The other, however..
"You wouldn't do that. You don't have it in you.", the other tried calling your bluff, taking a leap forward. It started you, but you remained strong.
"Wouldn't I? Out here in the middle of no where, who'd ever come looking for you?"
The man shrugged. "You might be right, but whose going to look for you?"
Before you could respond a hand grabbed from behind, reaching out and gripping the barrel of your shotgun and forcing it to the sky.
You instinctively pulled the trigger, sound blasting through the forest loudly causing birds to flutter away.
How the hell did he get in the house?
The assailant was stronger than you, tearing the weapon to the floor before gripping you by the hair roughly.
You grunted in pain, hands frantically searching for the handgun on your person as the man at the bottom of your steps began coming at you too.
You managed to shoot him in the thigh, hearing him cry out and collapse.
The scared one took off in a sprint, never turning back.
The aggressive one currently ripping strands of hair from the root wrestled you to the floor after shooting his friend, boot pressing firmly on the hand that held the gun and kicking it away.
He got on top of you and held you down as you struggled and fought against his hold, head reeling to the side as he back handed you, hard.
Furniture and anything close by moved and was tossed over as you fought back, unwilling to let him pin your hands to the floor, punching a fist into his groin to get him to crumple slightly so you could lug him off with all your might.
You scrambled to your feet and made a dash to the door, barely getting halfway before a strong body wrestled you back to the floor, your hands aching from the wall as he ripped your dress from the back to keep a hold on you.
You continued scrambling ahead, reaching out for anything, hands gripping the large sewing needle you had lost some time ago and turning to stab it into his cheek.
The man hissed, face turned into an ugly snarl as he staggered back in pain, holding the wound.
You up and ran, panting and panicking as you frantically made it outside.
The man didn't let up, he ruthlessly grabbed your hair causing you to cry out and slapped you so hard across the face you saw stars.
Blood dripped from your mouth as you stumbled back, held upright by the man's grip on you.
He grabbed your cheeks hard, squeezing the blood from your mouth, snarling. "Pretty thing, I'm going to put you in your fucking place--"
You cried out a sharp 'no!', kicking him between the legs and pushing him away.
You both fought tooth and nail for a while, you managing to run a short distance before being dragged back and hit even harder in the face.
This time you gasped helplessly for breath, blood spurting out of your nose and down your mouth.
What scared you the most was a hand gripping your thighs and trying to spread them.
"I'm going to fuck you before I kill you, bitch. And it's going to hurt." The man seethed the ugly promise, tearing your dress up high and grabbing your tights to rip a hole in then.
You cried out, kicking him in the jaw but to no avail. Without any weapons you had no chance in winning against his strength.
You saw an opening as he stumbled back at your kick and bolted it as fast as you could towards the trees. You knew this land well, so you knew where to hide.
Frightful and shaking, tears littered your cheeks as you heard the sound of the man getting to his feet to chase after you.
You gasped painfully, unable to breathe, and all but screamed bloody murder as you ran directly into a chest.
An arm wrapped around your struggling body, a hand smothering your scream as you fought and cried out desperately against another assailant. This one was like a brick wall, unmovable to your attempted attacks, even if he himself wasn't attacking you.
Two hands gripped your shoulders and shook you hard, causing you to look up at his face in terror only to pause, wide eyed.
That familiar, monochromatic clown tilted his head down at you in a thoughtful frown, mild confusion pooling in his irises as he studied you from head to toe, moving a gloved finger to wipe at the blood trickling down your chin.
"Art!", you cried, chest heaving up and down, "Theres--These men--attacked me and--and tried to-to--"
You could barely get your words out, watching as Art cocked a surprised eyebrow up and attempted to decipher your rambled sentences.
He didn't really need to. Upon further inspection, he could see the bruising of your face, the very blatant tear of your tights which showed a lot of skin, and how your dress had been ripped.
He knew something was off when he heard the sound of gunshots. He knew you had guns, but for you to use one meant something was amiss. Something compelled him to come and look, dropping the dead body he had been mutilating in the woods, eager and..somewhat impatient, to get to you.
That was a foreign feeling, and now having actually studied your shaking hands that gripped his costume and the amount of blood that covered your face as tears dribbled down fatly, staring up at him in utter relief, he was unused to such an expression, and truly didnt mind it coming from you.
Gazing outwards at the forest, an intense ire began to build in him. You weren't going to die today, he doubted you ever would because you were his, and only his.
Having finally made a decision, Art grinned cruelly, fingers eager and twitching excitedly to meet this so called attacker.
Letting his arms drop from you, he took a step forward to make his way to the house, stopping as you gripped his arm in fear.
"W-wait, please don't leave me--"
Art held up a hand calmly, shushing you, and went through his black bag, retrieving a hammer. He patted your head, as though telling you not to worry, and made his way towards your home. He walked excitedly with a bounce in his step.
You knew what that meant.
You were so happy to see him, as fucked up as that is, but he clearly made the decision to protect you. You felt relief and fondness, sitting against a tree with your knees up to your chest, waiting.
You wanted them dead, truth be told, but may God have mercy on them for what Art is about to do..
âąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâą
You remembered hearing gut wrenching screams and splatters of vomit as various tools were used to maim the trespassers.
You remember your body moving on auto pilot as you entered your home, Art briefly stopping his flaying of the man who threatened assault on you, to lift a hand and wave at you, fingers dancing playfully.
You waved back slowly, trudging up the steps and into your home where your living room was a mess from the commotion. There were patches of your blood on the floor, a lamp upturned and glass shattered messily.
Body and mind exhausted, you laid down on the settee and fell asleep dreamlessly. You didn't even awaken to the sounds of a chainsaw and guttural screaming.
You don't know how long you slept for. You were in and out of consciousness for a while, waking up to your ribs aching from the attack, or your lips burning from being split, the blood drying on them and irritating them.
You were still a mess, hair dishevelled and face bruised, dried blood flaking off your face and your clothes in almost tatters.
Your face was still puffy from crying, eyes opening slowly and slightly bloodshot. Moaning weakly, you stretched your legs out and hissed as your ripped tights dug into a deep cut in your thigh.
The TV was on. You barely registered the comforting hum of some early Christmas film that was on, volume low and tranquil.
Slowly standing, you made your way to the kitchen. Your chest fluttered at the sight of Art, sitting calmly at the table with a plate of sweet treats you had in the cupboards, including biscuits and cake, and what looked to be a cup of hot chocolate.
He was eating them very civilised, too. You were proud of that. It wasn't like he needed to eat, at least you thought, but he really did enjoy sweet food. Same as you.
Clad in a surprisingly clean clown suit, he waved at you, his hands stained red. He must have cleaned himself up for the most part, and..looking around, you sighted a mop bucket, so he must've really made a mess and cleaned up after him.
That was oddly..sweet. It made you smile.
"I must have been asleep a while." You gathered aloud, taking a seat at the table across from him.
The clown shrugged, held up a hand with 4 fingers. So you slept for about 4 hours then.
You rubbed your eyes, exhausted. The clown tilted his head at you slowly, frowning softly in thought with a finger to his chin.
"Yeah, I'm a mess. I can't believe those guys." You huffed, glaring down at yourself. Your anger spiked at the sight of your attire.
"He ruined my favourite fucking dress!" You exclaimed, arms folding frustratedly. You were a mixture of huffs and mutters as the clown cocked a calm eyebrow - how had you both switched places? - and listened to you curse and swear which he had never heard before.
It made him chuckle silently, head in hand as he watched you. Feeling eyes on you, your frown softened. "Im sorry, I'm not myself. I thought I had it all under control when I saw the two of them."
Your gaze dropped lower to the floor, reminiscing. "I didn't really notice the third. I have no idea how he got in." You almost whispered defeatedly, eyes misted and glassy as you remembered the way that man treated you and touched you.
You suddenly felt incredibly dirty. What if you hadn't managed to outrun him? He was about to violate you. And what if Art had never showed up? He'd--
Your thoughts draw to a pause as Art taps your hand gently, points to himself and does a stabbing motion, then points outside.
It made your lips quirk. "Their dead?"
Art nodded excitedly, grinning wide as his fingers tickle your hand. You begin to giggle, and grip onto his hand. "I'm glad you turned up. I mean, I managed to fight him off barely, but imagine if..."
You froze, eyes staring at your intertwined hands, and shook your head. "Assholes."
Art suddenly lit up like a lightbulb, face making one of surprise as he held a hand up to wait. Comically running out of the room, you awaited his return as he came near you with one of the robbers mask. Something was wrapped inside it.
Art got down on one knee and presented it to you with arms outstretched, wiggling his eyebrows, and you giggled again. Gripping the fabric, you found it soaked with blood. Opening it, a human heart stared back at you. It was relatively fresh.
You blinked slowly, not at all feeling usual feelings of repulsion and fear. Instead you felt..warm. The symbolic meaning of presenting you with the heart of your attacker wasn't lost on you, and as fucked up as it was, you blushed faintly.
"I.."
You smiled incredibly gently, Art thought. It made him happy to see your face finally light up after those filthy, rotten humans dared to touch what was his.
"I'm incredibly grateful for that. Thank you, Art. Who'd have thought you'd make such a great protector?" You winked playfully, laughing when he returned it dramatically with a nod.
"Oh! I almost forgot!", you rose and grabbed a nearby dish. "I made brownies!", you pouted at the fact that they weren't warm and delicious anymore, and Art thought that if you kept acting so cute he'd have to hurt you. In a good way, of course. He was still confused about that.
Art revealed one of his rare smiles, lacking it's usual slyness or sinisterness, and grabbed a brownie delightedly. It made you beam.
There you both sat, his hands bloodied and your face bruised with a heart sitting between you both as you shared the brownies.
There was an undeniable connection, and as you cuddled up in your blankets after a fresh shower, staring up at the ceiling, you thought about that.
âąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâąâą
The dynamic had shifted. Art could still be sly and mean in his ways of scaring you, but he certainly toned it down. He seemed to want to hear your laughter more, launching tickle attacks on you until you were a squealing mess on the settee, wriggling and fighting against his grip as tears of laughter wet your cheeks.
"Please!", you squealed, "no more! You win!", you'd shriek, body contorting until his fingers finally stopped and he stared down at you smugly.
For a moment, you both stared in silence, you catching your breath and him observant as ever.
With a burst of excited energy, you fled his slack grip and bolted to the other side of the living room, jumping in your spot. "Just kidding! I got away so I won!" You giggled ecstatically, watching as the clown slowly stood to his tall height.
Your laughter died down, nervous excitement replacing it. He held a glint in his eye that could only mean trouble. Art tilted his head dramatically, finger to his lips as though saying 'Oh, you've won, have you?'
You shook your head in panic, hands held up in surrender. "i-i didn't mean that! Honestly!"
Art mimiced your panicked face, holding his hands up in surrender as he jumped towards you. You jolted, stumbling back as an uncertain laughter bubbled up.
"Believe me, I know I could never outrun you..", you glanced towards the kitchen door, plotting.
Art lifted a hand to his chin, silently humming in thought, before holding up a hand with fingers spread wide.
He dropped a finger, holding up 4.
Then 3.
2.
"Wait--wait why are you counting?!"
1.
Art froze, grin held wide as he remained unmoving. You shifted nervously, about to say something before Art suddenly came to life again and darted towards you.
You screamed and bolted away, running instead to the stairs that were closer and hoping to make it to your room.
You did, and as you ran through it and turned to slam the door shut, Art was already in the doorway and wrapping his arms around you as you shrieked and cried out apologies for challenging him.
Art showed you no mercy, throwing you to the bed and holding you down with ease as he assaulted your ribs again with his fingers.
He laughed silently at your torture, gleeful and delighted at your non stop screaming and laughing.
"Art! Wait! I can't take it anymore!--" you wheezed, grabbing his wrists and pushing as hard as you could.
He didn't even budge. He was like a stone wall. Art paused, cocking his head down at your futile efforts and back up to your terrified face.
You froze, realising that you just challenged him again.
With a flash of black and white, Art jumped atop you, straddling your hips as he held your wrists down with one of his hands, watching you squirm and whine.
He chuckled evilly, silently, eyebrows low and grin spreading wide.
But there was that same look from the other day again. Peering down at you, he watched you analyse the position you were in, eyes fluttering up to his face in shock as a flush tainted your pretty skin.
Art knew that look. He was very meticulous when it came to the human body and the emotions it can feel.
You were panting, chest fluttering and warmth radiating off of you as Art smirked down at you knowingly. He raised his eyebrows, hand to mouth in shock as though to say 'Are those dirty thoughts in your head?'
Although silent, it was as though you knew that he knew what you were thinking. You felt dazed, so red and undeniably enjoying the vision of him above you, holding you down.
There was no denying the guilty thoughts you had had of him in the privacy of your bedroom at night, faceless men turning into monochromatic, super natural clowns each time you reached your peak.
You felt vile at first. But after his protection against those men the other day, your feelings definitely shifted, and since then you couldn't stop your thoughts from trailing to him..
The sexual ones, too. The private ones where you thought about pale, strong hands holding your head down against the bed as you were taken from behind.
The ones where your head was wrenched back by an iron fist in your hair, too euphoric to the point that you could only babble words.
You knew he could take you there. And his incessant flirting in real life, where he'd wiggle his eyebrows at you if you passed in a towel or if you bent over, or where he'd stand teasingly in your way of a doorway, forcing you to squeeze past him as he smirks and winks. Those things made the thoughts all the stronger, and at times you wondered if he knew what you were going to do once you got back to your room.
Sometimes, the way he smirked and waved at you with a wiggle of his fingertips just after you finished getting yourself off made you wonder. He must've known, this freakish demonic man.
The memories brought heat spreading down to your neck, your tongue tied as you struggled to break the tension. You struggled to get a word out, eyes fluttering in nervous anticipation. It was hard not to romanticise this charming clown.
"I--"
The clown leaned down close, void eyes staring into yours that were so full of emotion, raw and naked. His strong hand that was capable of such violence began tracing your jawline delicately, as though you were porcelain.
You inhaled shakily, feeling the digits drop to your neck, pressing against your fluttering, rapid pulse.
From anyone else, that would feel uncomfortable. But Art doing that felt so suffocatingly intimate you didn't know how to react, eyebrows drawn together in mild confusion at your feelings.
The way Art smirked made you realise he knew exactly what he was doing. Lifting his hand to his mouth, he gripped the glove with his teeth and tugged it off, freeing his pale, veiny hand and bringing it to your cheek, thumb tenderly rubbing the area.
You felt like your head was going to burst from how red you were. You think its because the utter shock at having Art act in a way that wholly juxtaposes him and touch you delicately made you feel so exquisitely special that you didn't know how to register it.
How can a mere innocent touch melt you so much?
His fingers traced the lines and curves of your face in fascination. There was no doubt a morbidity to his thoughts, but there was also mild, genuine adoration in his lifeless eyes.
Your pulse quickened, butterflies dancing in your belly at the thumb that now traced your plush lips. Body reacting faster than your thoughts, your tongue wet the tip of his thumb.
A glint began to shine in his eyes, ferocious and wanting. He tilted his head down at you, unsmiling but not in a scary way; he appeared quite tranquil, and something else.
His thumb dipped into your mouth slightly, experimentally, and he was pleased at the way you wholly accepted him in, swirling your tongue intimately around his digit.
Your eyelids drooped, overcome by this display of raw connection, your lips glistening as he slowly retrieved his thumb, giving your lips one final stroke before gliding his hand down your neck again, tickling the skin with gentle fingertips before moving down to your collarbone.
You held your breath, biting your lip as the usually menacing clown above you glided further down, and down, until his hand brushed the outline of your breast, barely skimming across your nipple.
You inhaled sharply, how were you this sensitive? You could feel heat pooling between your thighs already.
Art tilted his head, examining the large, soft globes that hid beneath your clothes. Eyes flickering up at you, Art smirked before gripping the front of your shirt and tearing it open with ease.
You gasped aloud, eyes wide and mouth agape as your breasts bounced free, nipples hard and begging for attention.
You flushed so deeply red that your face began resonating heat. You were so embarrassed at being half naked in front of him, and you didn't know why. Maybe it was because of the teasing way he winked appreciatively, removing the other glove from his hand swiftly before grazing your breasts barely, hands gripping handfuls of them boldly soon after.
His thumbs skimmed over your pebbled nipples, watching your head loll back against the pillow as you inhaled and exhaled shakily. Bolts of arousal were shooting to the junction of your thighs every time his calloused thumbs teased your perk nipples.
Art was entranced by your visible display of arousal, so sensitive and so wanting; he had never felt this way about a person. Even he knew he was being unnaturally kind, inducing you with pleasure that was sure to have you tingling.
Art never did things unless he wanted to. He didn't want to hurt you. No, his dominance and roughness that he could just tell you craved would come later. For now, he wanted you wet and yearning.
He was proficient in knowing how to hurt the human body, which means he's acutely aware of how to pleasure it; that simply came hand in hand.
And, glancing down at you, having been brought from his thoughts by your breathy exhale, he could tell that what he was doing was incredibly pleasurable. You squirmed, legs widening and relaxing unconsciously below him, your pretty green skirt riding up your thighs.
"Art-", you whined in a whisper, nerve endings alight and tingling, begging to be touched.
Art flashed a smile, head tilting once more as though wondering what to do with you. He could leave you here, undeniably wet and sticky and yearning, begging sweetly, or he could indulge, nudge your pretty thighs apart and fuck you like you've wanted him to for a while now.
You didn't hide it well, especially after touching yourself mere minutes before seeing him, pupils blown wide, hair tousled and sweaty, legs lightly shaking. You should probably stop leaving your wet, soft underwear on your bedroom floor too. That's a big give away, if you didn't already know.
The sarcastic thought had him grinning, and after moving his head back and forth in thought, weighing out his options, he flicked his thumbs over your nipples a few more times, watching you react immediately and arch your back towards his hands.
"Ah-", you gasped, shuddering, gnawing at your lip with hooded eyes.
Art rolled his eyes up at the ceiling, then shrugged lightly to himself. He wasn't necessarily a sexual creature, but he was still in the body of a man. Tweaking your nipples teasingly, Art nodded.
He wanted to fuck you, hard.
But he wanted to tease you first.
Arts eyes dropped to the way your legs had spread for him, dark underwear on display from the way your skirt had ridden up your thighs.
Trailing a hand down your waist and to your hips, Art studied you as his hand moved lower, teasing your inner thighs, pinching the fatty flesh there before pressing two fingers against your apex.
You reacted immediately, shuddering a breath in and out as your legs spread fully, bent at the knee.
Pale fingers traced your soft, wet lips through your underwear, tickling from where your hole would be and up towards your pulsating clit, circling the bud with light pressure.
You moaned quietly, legs squirming slightly as you yearned for a direct touch, his teasing becoming relentless. Your hands balled into fists as white hot tingling sensations barreled through your stomach and your clit, demanding to be touched but to no avail.
Art knew this, and pressed two fingers firmly against your clit, circling.
"Oh--yes--", you whined, looking fucked out with your head lolled back when Art had barely done anything. He wondered how you'd react to the plans he had for you later if this is how you were after a few strokes.
His teasing continued, trailing down to your hole and dipping in slightly, soaking your underwear, before running his finger to the edge of the useless garment and hooking two fingers in, tearing it apart.
This time, Art used both hands to grip your thighs, spreading them far. He studied your pink, exposed slit with incredible interest. The mess of wetness was excessive, coating the length of your sex, your inner thighs and gliding down to your tight rim.
You squirmed in his hands at his staring, to which he tightened his grip, making you shudder.
"Art..", you whined
His eyes snapped up to yours expectantly.
"Please, I--", you gasped at his fingers tracing maddeningly around your labia, refusing to touch you directly. "Please touch me. Please, I--..I need it so bad.", tears filled your eyes with frustration, "so fucking bad, you have no idea.."
But Art did know. He's always known, and just to prove his point he searched for something in his pockets, retreaving it and dangling it in front of your face.
You froze. It was your used underwear from yesterday, when you masturbated before a shower, throwing the garment to the floor. You thought you had imagined throwing it to the floor, because upon coming back to the bedroom, it was gone.
You looked mortified, hands covering your face. "You've known all along?" You whined, unable to face his grin. You felt humiliation creep up your chest at being caught red handed, biting your lip hard to ground yourself. Pathetic tears threatened to fall in frustration.
You gasped as two hands gripped your own and pinned them above your head, using one to keep them there while the other hand wagged it's finger back and fore, Art shaking his head and tutting silently.
You were forced to face his smug, teasing stare, your own face pouting. Art lifted two fingers, wiggled them, before bringing them to your lips.
You accepted, swirling your tongue around them, before they were retrieved swiftly. Wiggling them again, Art made a show of demonstrating just what he was about to do to you to bring that smile back.
Winking in a way that had you melting in a puddle of embarrassment, Art pressed two fingers to your wet entrance, grinning before gliding them into your wanton hole.
Your reaction was instantaneous, a keening 'oh!' torn from your throat, back arching as you squirmed beneath the hand that pinned you down.
Art began to thrust his fingers deeply, pulling out to the tip before delving back in, watching you writhe and gasp. You were desperate for more, hips lifting higher.
Art pulled his fingers out of you, showing the wet lubrication that coated them, scissoring them apart to watch the way it attached his fingers with stringy gooeyness.
You released a frustrated whine this time, fighting beneath his one hand. "No, no don't pull them out, please--" you pouted pathetically, desperately.
Art wanted to torment you more, but his desire to see you screaming in pleasure outweighed that at the moment. He wanted to break you.
Shrugging innocently as though to say 'well, you asked for it', Arts two fingers sunk into you to the knuckle, pumping in and out firmly and roughly, curling rhythmically against that spongy area he knew would have you seeing stars.
"Oh--Oh!", you cried, hips tilted up into his assault, the lewd sound of your wet hole permeating the air as his fingers went in and out, in and out, restlessly and roughly, giving you exactly what you wanted.
Art smirked darkly, increasing the pace rapidly, so fast he had to hold your kicking legs down as he brought you too much pleasure, too much torment in the sweetest way he could give.
You cried out loudly now, unable to hold your voice back, body convulsing lightly as your peak approached.
"A-Art, Oh, Ohh--" you moaned, panting and thrashing back and fore as his fingers forced an orgasm out of you, intense and sudden, squirting down his wrist and soaking your bed.
You gasped for air, legs falling slack as your mind felt like it was floating.
You didn't have any time to think as Art gripped your hips tightly, flipping you over effortlessly and pulling your ass into the air. He smoothed the skin gently, before giving it a slap, watching you jolt.
You were soaked, legs quivering as you braced yourself. Your knees knocked together, staring back at him desperately.
You had dreamed of this for some time, you thought, gnawing at your lip anxiously. Judging by the sudden, bare feel of his hard cock against your folds, you knew you were in for a ride; he felt huge.
He was definitely thick, but even more than that is that he was incredible in length. He wasn't an ordinary man, so you shouldn't be surprised, but a tingle of fear and excitement gnaws through you all the same.
"W-will that fit?", you whispered in awe, salivating, and Art merely shrugged, wiggling his eyebrows as though to say 'ill make it fit', before putting a hand on your head and pushing your face into the bed.
You felt arousal course through you at his actions, being pinned down and bared for him to use. You pushed your round ass into him as much as you could, desperate and whorish, feeling his body judder with silent laughter.
He teased you at first, pushing the tip in, then retrieving, only to push just a little bit more in, and then retrieving again.
You huffed, unable to hide your frustration, but choked on it as Art slowly pulled out, then slid all the way in to the hilt.
You cried out loudly, hands balled into fists in your blanket, head pushed into the bed hard as Art gave you no time to adjust and began fucking you.
Your insides were on fire, pain and pleasure at his large intrusion mixing together, pulling moan after moan out of you. You could barely breathe, struggling to say his name as Art now gripped both of your hips and bred you.
A hand was lifted from you before coming down hard on your jiggling flesh, one stroke after another, getting harder and harder until you were writhing and whining.
He didn't stop, testing just how far he could go, switching to the other cheek when he felt your screams were getting particularly painful.
The stinging was unbearable, but it made you so wet, so pliant for him to absolutely manhandle you into the bed, gripping a fistful of your hair before he ravaged you just the way you wanted.
You were already a babbling mess, cock drunk when Art had hardly done anything. He rolled his eyes at you, though he was definitely amused at the unintelligible song you sang for him, something about his large cock and something else about breeding you.
You filthy girl.
Arts hand tangled rougher into your locks, before he gripped it hard and wrenched your head back, spine arching.
Your whines increased, becoming incredibly high pitch and feminine for him as he forced your head back.
Your neck was burning, but you loved this feeling, having a firm hand tug your hair back and an incredible, curved dick hit your insides just right.
The way he fucked you hard made you want to pretend to be bratty in the future, just so he could put you in your place. In fact, maybe one day when you're feeling particularly moody or low, you could get him to fuck it out of you, sweeten you up. The thought of being forced to take him deep as he fucked the brattiness out of you had you sopping, thighs drenched and shaking and barely standing.
"Ahh--Art, it feels so-", you moaned brokenly, thighs collapsing as the demon above you took to forcing your face back into the bed, other hand forcing your wrists above your head.
Having your thighs together now made his cock feel utterly massive, forcing the air out of you as he glided in between your plush cheeks, invading your sodden hole.
It made you feral.
"Oh my God oh my God--", you cried weakly, sobbing. Tears rolled down your cheeks in over stimulation, and Art leaned his body over yours, pushing you into the bed as he used one hand to smother your mouth, hooking his fingers into it.
You babbled, sucking his fingers desperately as you drooled down his wrist and your chin.
His fingers stuffed your mouth, thick length now ramming into you harder. You could barely hold your head up anymore, resting weakly against his wrist as you cried and whimpered, mascara blackening your eyes and cheeks messily.
Suddenly your hips were gripped and your body was forced onto it's back. You whined at the loss of him inside you, legs wrapping obscenely around his trim waist, needing more.
"Fuck me, please fuck me-", you breathed, head lolling back as fat tears burned your eyes, soaking your cheeks. Your lips were formed into a frustrated pout, fists clenched as though you were about to have a tantrum unless his dick resumed fucking you.
Art grinned truly maniacally down at you, gleeful and amused at your cries. It was a stunning sight, seeing your usual reserved self acting like such a slut.
He pouted right back at you, holding two fists up to his eyes and rotating them back and forth to impersonate dramatic crying. He was mocking you cruelly, laughing at your fucked out expression.
Forcing his fingers into your mouth again, Art pushed them down your throat, watching your eyes widen as you gagged and choked. Saliva pooled in your mouth excessively, and he scooped it out with both fingers to smear it messily over your cheeks and down your chin, laughing silently and pointing.
"No, please stop mocking me..", you whimpered quietly, lips wobbling as you pleaded at him with your big eyes. Your hips bucked desperately, thighs sticky and warm.
Art dropped his grin and rolled his eyes at your antics. You really wanted him to fuck you? Sure.
A malicious glint lit up his eyes, tenderly wiping the black tears staining your cheeks from your makeup.
Before you could blink, a strong hand was wrapped around your throat roughly, and a moment later his hot cock was pummeling into you mercilessly.
You couldn't even scream, sounds trapped in your throat and escaping in high pitched exhales, your head falling back against the bed as he strangled you.
It terrified you, but as your breathing became less and your head became clouded, a sudden, indescribable pleasure ripped through you so powerfully your eyes rolled back into your head, drool openly gliding down your cheek.
Your body felt weak and unresponsive, unable to even grip at his wrists for some reprieve, but the pleasure..
The fucking pleasure was mind numbing.
Your eyes drooped, face turning almost purple as he fucked you so deep you felt sick.
You couldn't gasp anymore, weak breaths barely getting past the brutal grip on your throat.
You were delirious now, feeling in a dream like state, ecstasy exploding behind your eyes and lighting your nerves on such a burning fire. You felt like your soul was ripped out of your mortal shell, experiencing the biggest high of your entire life.
Art cackled madly, silently, a sick adoration twisting in his eyes at the way your consciousness began to slip. He held your neck dangerously tight, tighter than he planned but judging by the way your hot, wet pussy gripped at him, he knew you loved it.
The sounds of your joining bodies was obscene and lewd, squelching and loud as his cock forced your lubrication out of your body.
Art gritted his teeth at the morbidly stunning view of you drooling excessive saliva, tears soaking his hands and mascara clumping your eyelashes, your eyes now bloodshot and heavy.
They rolled back, and soon you become quiet.
Bringing you to the very edge, Art removed your hand and allowed air to enter your lungs.
You gasped painfully, choking and sobbing as you were given no time to inhale greedily, instead getting ravaged inhumanly fast.
You couldn't lift your head, eyes blinking dazedly up at Art, who lifted a hand to wave at you mockingly.
You tried to speak but couldn't, mouth held open in permanent ecstasy. Your hips snapped upright as fingers roughly rubbed at your engorged clitoris, abusing the greedy nub.
A cry tore from your raw throat, head thrashing side to side and legs shaking violently as your orgasm rendered you incoherent.
You screamed out, squirting almost violently down your quivering thighs and over Arts rigid, brutal cock.
You sobbed, face screwing up pathetically as genuine, uncontrollable cries wracked your form. You could barely intake breath, body and nerves unable to handle the level of soul wrenching pleasure and borderline pain that was inflicted upon you.
Art gripped your shaking thighs and lifted them above his shoulders, face devoid of his usual smirk and instead scowling down at you with smouldering eyes. He fucked you harder, faster, animalistic before his hips stuttered once, twice, and a hot, thick load of cum filled your gaping pussy.
The amount was unnatural, not human, but your body lapped it up all the same as your insides convulsed and quivered. You moaned weakly, keening in a higher pitch as your lips wobbled and your eyes remained misted and delirious.
You didn't even feel Art pull out, stuck in a dream like state as aftershocks lit your body up. Your legs were dropped from his shoulders, falling unceremoniously to the bed, wide open.
You babbled incoherently, arm covering your face. Art stared down at you serenely, gazing from your dick dumb espression to the mess of cum coating your thighs, globs of it dripping down to your asshole. Your hole gaped and twitched, greedily gulping up all that it could take, thoroughly fucked and bred.
You felt two fingers scooping up the mess and pushing it filthily back into your pussy.
You whined, dropping the arm from your eyes to finally look at the demonic clown that had surely taken grip of your soul and tore it out.
Art smirked down at you, winking playfully. He revelled in the mess he made of you.
"Art that was--I--Mmm--", you moaned, responding to the gentle caress of your clit with his fingers. You were so wet and full of cum, biting your lip.
You didn't move as you felt his form pull away from you. You were so out of it you felt drunk.
You didn't feel him tucking you into bed, only remembered being beneath the blankets as he tilted his head down at you contemplatively.
He felt something foreign, that was for certain. He felt a possessive adoration over you, wanting to break you into a crying, sobbing mess, strangle you until you stood on the precipice of death like earlier, but also..
Watching you now, eyes drooping as you gripped his hand softly, tiredly, he made the final decision that he wanted more tender moments like this.
You were the rare occasion, the only occasion.
He was going to consume you whole.

Description: You have an argument with Clark about Superman, of all people. Krypto exposes your boyfriend's secret identity.
Pairing: david-corenswet!clark kent x fashion-editor!reader
(established relationship, secret identities)
The wine-dark sky lapped against the windows of your apartment.Â
The light from the neighboring buildings provided your room with ample lighting, as it would otherwise be drowned in darkness. A yawn escapes your mouth as you bury yourself deeper in your sheets; you could hear the air conditioner humming from above you. It sounds like white noise teasing you into sleep.Â
Itâs been three months since you were last homeâthereâs nothing better than sleeping in your own bed after a hectic fashion season.Â
Your eyelids fluttered, threatening sleep, but you kept them open.Â
The smell of bacon and pancakes kept you awake. It was a silent reminder that your boyfriend was busying himself in the kitchen, that Clark was counting on you not to fall asleep.Â
I missed this. You yawned again.Â
âDinnerâs about to be ready in a few minutes! You better not be sleeping, young lady!â Clark yelled down the hallway.Â
âOkay,â you mumbled to yourself.Â
Fighting against Hypnosâ tempting embrace proved to be difficult, but for Clark, youâd do anything. You reached for the skies, stretching your limbs. Your hands wrapped around the glass of water that was sitting on the nightstand. You brought it to your lips, taking slow sips, hoping to shake away your tiredness.Â
Another yawn escaped your mouth as you pried the sheets off.Â
Your feet settled on the carpeted floor.Â
You stretched a few more times for good measure before making your way to the kitchen. The sound of the evening news flooded your senses before your eyes settled on Clark.Â
In your eyes, there was nobody more perfect than your boyfriend.Â
He had a square face, soft baby-blue eyes, and a dimpled smile. He looked like the kind of man that you could trust your drink withâand you did!Â
You handed him your drink in a speakeasy before going to the bathroom. You couldnât find him when you came back, but that was only because youâd never forget a man as handsome as him.Â
âThat looks good,â you hummed while wrapping your arms around him. Your face was pressed against his back, and you could smell your soap on his body. âAnd itâs legally called pancake.â He winks.Â
âNone of that hotcake bullshit we ate in Wyoming?â you giggled.Â
âLanguage,â he warns with the tilt of his head.Â
A chuckle escapes your lips as you break free from the embrace.Â
You walked towards the fridge, pulling it open as you looked for his favorite orange juice. You always had a fresh batch waiting for him. Unlike your boyfriend, you could only show love in silence.Â
âWeâre in the middle of Metropolis right now, Jan, where Superman defeated a foreign threat. The Mayorâs Office has confirmed that there are no casualties, but the infrastructural calamities are expected to exceed $10 million.â The reporter continued as she walked in the middle of a destroyed square.Â
Clark tenses.Â
You continued to pour him a glass of juice, settling the glass beside his plate. You walked to the other side of the counter, settling on the stool parallel to him. The cold steel of your chair felt uncomfortable against your warm calves, but you ignored the sensation.Â
âNow, Alexis, when are these repairs expected to be made?â The newscaster asked.Â
Your eyes were painted on the television to your side.Â
âJan, Luthorcorp has extended their help in repairing Metropolis. In an interview with Lex Luthor a few moments ago, he alleged that Superman is a planetary threat that must be neutralized and that the damage done to the city should be considered an act of terrorism. Superman is yet to release a statement in response to these accusations.â The reporter answered as the screen flashed Lex Luthorâs petulant face.Â
Clark reached for the remote control, turning the TV off.Â
âI was watching,â your eyebrows merged.Â
He turned around and placed a stack of pancakes on your plate. He added more food to your plate, and you smiled. You already know how this is going to endâyouâre not going to finish all of this, and heâll eat both of your plates.Â
âI want your complete and undivided attention.â He pouted.Â
âYou always do.â Your teeth burrowed into your lower lip.Â
He sat on the stool beside you. He tilts his body in your direction.Â
âIf I didnât know any better, Iâd think youâre more interested in Superman than me,â he shrugs while handing you a fork.Â
You mumble a quick thank you before digging into your bacon pancakes.Â
âHm, nope. I donât trust the guy.â You cut through the pancakes with ease, bringing them to your mouth. "âI know that you've done interviews with him, but he's fishy, babe." You shrugged, discussing the Superhero as if he were a celebrity or a politician.
He forned, as if you had personally offended him.
"How so?" He questions, ignoring his pancakes.
You take a deep breath, trying to gather your thoughts without hurting your boyfriend (whom you believed to be a friend of Superman).
"He has all the power in the world, and he decides to do good?" You scoffed, believing that notion to be idiotic. Time and time again, people in power have proven themselves to be corruptâand those are only people with political power.
Imagine what they'd do if they had the power of a God.
"I don't find that hard to believe," he defends.
A sigh escapes your mouth.
"Not everyone is as kind as you areâif you had his powers, maybe, but I find it hard to believe that an alien from another planet doesn't have ulterior motives." You continued to explain.
"If he had any, we would've known by now." Clark snaps firmly.
"I just don't trust him, okay." You huffed.
He's acting weird. You thought while glancing at his features.
He was glaring at his pancakes, deep in thought.
You place a hand on his thigh. He moves your hand away.
His phone buzzesâyou glance and see that it's a message from Jimmy.
wish u were here, we having mad fun w/o u đ€Ș
"I have to go," he places his fork down.
"I thought you were gonna stay for movie night?" You pouted.
"I got a work emergency." He liesâbut you don't push it.
"Oh, okay." You nod, leaning towards him for a goodbye kiss, but he just dashes away to reach his coat. "Bye!" He glances over his shoulder to flash you a smile, but you don't reply.
Good morning. I'm at work now. Hope you have a great day!
You stared at Clark's message.
Normally, he'd send you paragraphs with a minimum of three images.
Good morning đ„° have a great day im here with phoebe today i might drop by your apartment later
You replied.
"Are you okay?" Phoebe asks while aiming her camera at you.
You nod your head, placing your phone inside your pocket. "I'm sorry that you have to do this," you apologized. She probably felt offended at photographing a 'lifestyle celebrity' when she mostly meddled in the city's serious affairs. Has Superman not saved anybody yet?
"Please, you're the most photogenic person I've ever shotâyou go before Superman." She compliments, earning a smile from you.
Fuck Superman. You thought about your 'argument' with Clark.
You never thought of him as the kind of person who worshipped the ground of a superhero, but then again, Superman is his close friend. Clark is the only person who's able to get the hero's statement. To him, it was probably like bersmirching Jimmy or Lois' name.
"Have you ever had trouble in paradise, Phebes?" You asked.
"Never been to paradise, but I've had my fair share of ex-boyfriends." She chuckles, taking a couple of shots as you pose in different ways. Your photos were going to be in the September issue of Tattleânot the cover, of course notâand your father has always warned you not to be in Tattle but the magazine would be good for business.
"Democrat girlfriend, piece of shit boyfriend." She jokes.
"It's nothing drastic. I just disagreed with Clark about something, and he's acting so weird about it." You explained to your close friend.
Her lips pressed into a thin line.
"You never disagree with Clark about anything," she points out.
"Just this one thing. I can't help but think there's more to it. I mean, he basically bolted off the moment we talked about it," you hummed.
"Is it a personal thing or...?" She asks.
"No, uh, just politics, or rather just a political figure." You remained vague, and she nodded.
"It's Superman, isn't it?" Phoebe asks, and you nod.
"Just talk it out. Superman is a polarizing figureâClark is a journalist, and I bet he knows how to practice discernment." She advised, and your lips pressed into a thin line. She basically just described what you were planning to do next.
Your keys jangled as you twisted the lock to Clark's apartment door.
"Clark?" You called outâonly to be greeted by silence.
You sat on the sofa, Clark's scent lingered on the pillows.
You were just about to reach for your phone, but the sound of claws scratching against a wooden door caught your attention. "Hello?" you called out once more, and the door to Clark's bedroom burst open. Before you were able to get another word in, a fuzzy piece of white flew in your direction. Yes. Flew.
Arf. Arf.
The dog barked as your back pressed into the soft mattressâas if he were aware that your bones were softer than hisâhe began to lick you. "Uh, where did you come from?" You placed a hand on his head, softly moving him away from your body.
"Did you just fly at me?" You asked, praying to God that your eyes were just playing tricks on you.
The dog barks and lifts itself off the floor.
"What the fuck," you cursed, and the dog tilted his head.
The dog twirled around a few times before flying towards the kitchen cupboards, where, conveniently, there was dog food.
You reach for your phone once moreâhoping to send a message to Clark, but your phone suddenly turns off.
Shit, I forgot to charge. You cursed.
"Doggie, stay." You glanced at the flying dog before bolting towards Clark's bedroom. The dog, uncaring about your command, flew behind you, almost bumping into the wall.
Your eyes darted across the dog's bed, which had his name, 'Krypto,' and landed on Clark's nightstand. You opened the drawer, searching for his charger, but your gaze landed on Superman's UNDERWEAR. Yeah, the one that he wears on the outside.
The gears on your head began to turn.
The missed calls. His cousin, who looked a lot like Supergirl, who was allegedly partying in Ibiza. His sudden offense at your accusations towards Superman. Not to mention the flying dog behind you.
Fuck. Your boyfriend is Superman.
With a deep breath, you sat on his bedâas if on autopilot, you plugged your phone into the charger, and it flashed the charging icon.
"Woah," you stared at the wall.
Krypto sits on his bed, watching you with a confused stare.
He flies in your direction and settles beside your feet. He gives you a few blinks before rolling to show you his bellyâbegging for rubs.
Your phone opens and pings uncontrollably.
You can't go to my apartment today. I'm getting it exterminated. I got termites. Those wood eating insects. I'll go to your apartment.
You glanced at Clark's messages. "Too late," you mumbled. You glided off his bed and settled on the floorârubbing Krypto's belly a few times.
You missed a call (65).
You could hear the apartment door open from down the hallway. Krypto doesn't bother standing up, comfortable with your pets. It makes perfect sense. You thought about it.
But still, you didn't know whether to believe your hypothesis.
Clark says your name as he bolts down the hallway, almost bumping into the wall (like what Krypto almost did a few minutes ago).
"Hey," you glanced at him from over your shoulder, and he took a step forward. He glanced at the bed, seeing his underwear lying around.
"I can explain," he takes another step forward.
"You should admit the truthâor it'll just look weird since you have Superman's underwear lying around." You kept your face neutral, still in shock over the revelation.
Krypto barks at the sound of his voice and flies towards Clarkâknocking your boyfriend off balance. "Krypto, stop! No!" Clark scolded while standing up. Krypto continued to nibble on his calves.
"You are Superman, right?" You asked with certainty.
"Yes," Clark doesn't lie.
You stand up and face him.
"Why didn't you tell me?" You interrogated.
"I don't want you to get hurt." He walks around his bed, dragging Krypto with him as he stands in front of you. "Is that why you escaped from me last night?" You asked, and he reached for your hands. "Yes," he admits. "âIt hurt hearing those words out of your mouth, like I was nobody, and I never want to be a stranger to you." He continues with a sigh.
He avoids looking at his underwear for the meantime.
"I'm just trying to be a good person. I didn't ask to have these powers; I don't know what to do with them, but I promise that I don't have ulterior motives. I just want to help people." He explains himself.
"I'm sorry for being such a pessimist," you apologized.
"NoâI'm sorry for not telling you sooner. I'm sorry that I had to get caught for you to know." He apologizes too.
"But I didn't know, babe. I didn't know that he was you, or you are you."
There was a moment of silence between you, only broken by a few barks from Krypto. Clark stares deeply into your features, searching for traces of doubt or mistrust, but he sees nothing but admiration.
You are silent for another minute before your eyes meet and a laugh escapes your lips.
His eyebrows furrowed.
"What?" He asks.
"It's just thatâthis is all too unreal." You answered with another chuckle. You pressed a kiss to his cheek. "âbut I'm glad that you're Superman, 'cuz you're the best person in the entire world." You smiled, gaining your composure. "âand you have no dictatorial tendencies."
You made your way down the hallway, presumably to take out the food you ordered from Clark's favorite place.
Krypto flies towards the bed and begins to gnaw on Clark's underwear.
"Krypto, no! Don't do that!" Clark pulls the dog in his direction with a sigh.
A/N: my first dc fic after being a marvel girl for 6 years đ.
Kara who saw her parents wither away. Kara who carries the grief of an entire planet. Kara who doesn't share that grief with her cousin, because she thinks he could never understand. Kara who holds Krypto like her heart, because he is the only piece of her Krypton that is still alive. Kara who will tarnish her soul so Ruthye doesn't have to. Kara who has every reason to scream, cry and break things, but chooses to stay and make Earth her home because she also has many reasons to find again the happiness she lost. That is a Kara that I love.
Iâm tired of team black stans act like acknowledging that bk!Alicent had political ambitions somehow means she canât also be a victim of the system she lived in. No shit, the show didnât suddenly make her a victim she always was one.
Book Alicent was surrounded by rumors from a very young age. There are stories that she slept with Viserys before her marriage to him, rumors that Daemon took her virginity, even claims that she was involved with or molested by the elderly King Jaehaerys. Whether those rumors are true is almost beside the point. The fact that they existed at all shows how quickly a teenage girlâs reputation could become public property and itâs damaging and sexualization. Adults were openly speculating about her sexuality for political purposes when she was still around fifteen.
Otto positioned Alicent to do excessive work for Jaehaerys I, acting as his caretaker. At just 15yo she was bathing an old man and fetching his food. Then the text itself notes that people at court suspected Otto had larger ambitions and had brought Alicent to court with the intention of advancing the familyâs position "there were those who murmured that the Hand had risen above himself, that he had brought his daughter to court with this in mind." The book practically winks at the reader and says that people noticed what Otto was doing.
That doesnât mean Alicent had zero agency and It doesnât mean she never wanted power. But having ambitions does not magically erase abuse. A teenager can want power & status and still be used by her father and a woman can participate in politics and still be sexualized by the adults around her.
If her wanting to be a queen doesn't make her a victim, then Rhaenyra isn't a victim either.
What makes Alicent not loving Viserys and wanting power âshallowâ? Seriously. People act like a woman not marrying for love automatically makes her selfish or inferior but thatâs a very modern way of looking at her society. Love matches werenât the norm. Even GRRM has talked about how noble marriages were primarily political arrangements not about love.
Rhaenyra herself didnât marry Laenor because she was madly in love with him. She married him because it was politically necessary and because Viserys essentially threatened to disinherit her if she refused. So she accepted to marry him because she wanted to be a queen.
Alicent understood the world she lived in and tried to make the best of the opportunities available to her. In a society where women are expected to be silent, obedient tools for the ambitions of men, she found ways to gain influence and exercise power herself.
Thatâs not shallowness thatâs ambition. And itâs funny because people praise ambition in male characters all the time. Men can want power, and theyâre called strategic or interesting. A woman wants those same things and sheâs âshallowâ or âpower-hungry.â
Alicent actively participated in politics. She helped lead the Green Council. She built relationships and influence at court. After Viserys died, she remained one of the most politically important figures in the realm. She didnât just inherit power through a husband. She made herself politically relevant in her own right.
And the idea that she only cared about power is such a misogynistic take. We know that she genuinely loved Jaehaerys and took care of him. We know that she spent time with her children and grandchildren. We know she was close to Helaena and she suffered enormously after Blood and Cheese. We know the deaths of her children devastated her. We know that by the end of the war, grief has practically consumed her. That doesnât sound like someone who only cared about power it sounds like a woman who cared about both power and family.
And honestly, thatâs what makes her feel realistic. Most people arenât driven by only one thing. Human beings are messy. They can be ambitious and loving and they can want power and still genuinely care about their children.
Alicentâs tragedy isnât that she loved power half the nobles in Westeros love power her tragedy is that she lived in a system where power, family, survival, and duty became so tangled together that she could no longer separate them.
You donât have to think she was a good person to acknowledge that. But reducing her to a shallow woman who simply wanted a crown ignores how much of her story is about agency, family, grief, and trying to carve out influence in a world designed to deny women influence in the first place.
