Hiii, Is Your Batmom Stuff In Order Like Where Do I Start, Like I Read Some Here And There And They're

Hiii, is your Batmom stuff in order like where do I start, like I read some here and there and they're amazing so I was wondering if there's a chronological order?

Hey ! …Hum…there could be a chronological order…Ok well, I’m gonna spend my next hour giving you said order eh. On my masterlist blog, the stories are basically in the order I posted them, but I believe I can make a chronological order and a sort of timeline. Here it goes : 

So there’s two kind of Batmom stories. The ones that are connected, the ones that have the same “main” Batmom, and stories unrelated with those, usually one shots. And here we go, let’s start with my “main” Batmom (also a good way to do a list of all the connected stories haha) and a somewhat chronological order : 

There used to be a story where my main Batmom and Bruce met at a charity Batmom was having (she’s a writer that was starting to be famous and had a charity to give easier access to books to disadvantages population in Gotham) but hum…it got accidentally erased. I still remember the story though, so maybe one day, I’ll re-write it. Anyway. This is where it’s suppose to begin.

Ahem. #whenyourealizethatyoucreatedatimelinethatmadesenseanddidn’tdoitonpurpose

little star — diluc 。

synopsis!! everyone knows the creator doesn't favor diluc (everyone is wrong).

cw !! gn reader, reader is peak diluc simp 😐 somewhat self-aware characters, mild sagau themes (not too much), reader is recognized as the player, reader is a little shy at first. angst with reverse comfort!

note !! the plot feels a little everywhere but i tried to organize it as best as i can, i think i got carried away eheh honestly doesn't feel up to my standards but it was pretty enjoyable to write

word count !! 2.8k something

"No, it's definitely Outrider Amber, she was the first to ever be favored."

"Are you kidding me? Outrider Amber may be the first, but sir Kaeya was definitely loved. Have you seen the sword he was gifted with?" One growls.

"It's the Acting Grand Master Jean!" Someone slams the table with his beer mug, "Twice was she bestowed with fallen stars of gold."

"I'd say that wolf boy in the woods seem lucky."

"It has to be Bennett. I don't know why but that kid has two crowns! Two!"

"You're all missing out on Miss Lisa!"

"Stop, stop! You rowdy drunks! Every vision holder in Mond has been granted favor, this is just impossible to decide!"

There was a pause. "Well. . . not every." Someone mumbles under their breath.

"Not every? Who's the poor allogene that couldn't even get the Player's favo—" Shushing sounds break his sentence, the men glare at their companion, pointing to the redhead behind the bar.

It's useless, really.

Diluc has been listening in the entire time. He can't really help it when their voices were loud enough to reach where he stood. Still, he was merciful and pretended not to hear. He's not exactly bothered by what they're saying. It was the truth, after all.

For two years, vision holders all around Teyvat were being granted favor.

It often begins with a meteor shower gracing the sky.

A star gently falling into the hands of a vision holder, embracing them in warm light.

They call the ethereal sensation as something akin to "coming home".

The favored would then be given different things; quality weapons, enhanced abilities, beautiful crowns— Some allogenes were even gifted summer apparel (Mondstadt is proud that their Gunnhildr sisters were one of the very first). Even their equipped wings would change into ornamented works of art!

It's been two years, and it seems like every allogene he knows of has received the Player's grace.

He supposed he just wasn't favored. It isn't too difficult to believe that he isn't likable.

He convinces himself it's fine.

It's fine if his summoned weapon is a cheap claymore made of scrap metal. It's still efficient to have the extra blade while he manually carries around another claymore (commissioned from Wagner as the best money could buy). Or that his abilities can only be improved through hardwork, unlike the many who broke the limits of their power through your favor.

It's fine.

As the bar goers leave for the night, as Venti and Kaeya wave around their almost divine-looking five-star weapons to show the crowd, and as he's closing up the tavern and retreating to his upstair quarters for comfort, he convinces himself that the he'll be okay on his own.

•

The arrival of the Creator was festive and grand; The day the sky parted itself and glowed as the brightest of all stars fell with grace into Mondstadt's very own Windrise.

Teyvat rejoices in the ecstatic ideal of being loved.

A meeting of vision holders was quickly held in the Cathedral, discussing immediate plans as some of the most favored (Venti, Jean, Kaeya, Albedo to name a few) went ahead to fetch the Creator from the large tree.

While Diluc was often the center of any other meeting due to his authority and influence, this was something he chose to step back from. Standing by the windows, away from the meeting, he watched on as Eula and the rest conversed around the circular table.

He isn't even sure why he's invited. Perhaps they felt it was obligatory for vision holders, regardless of favorability? Then again, he could always offer a fraction of his mountain-loads of wealth to help with the festivities.

At least he's competent at being a wallet.

As the others pull out their crowns and stars, weapons and artifacts, eager to thank the one responsible for the gifts, an unknown emotion bubbles in his stomach. It's faint, but it's there.

He tries to look away.

"Everyone, everyone! They're entering the gates!" Fischl announces uncharacteristically to the room as her eye glows brightly, undoubtedly looking through Oz's eyes from the sky.

"We should wait by the statue to welcome them, right?" Barbara chirps in, hands clasped and wavy hair bouncing with every step.

Diluc watches as people steadily leave the room, following last as they walk down the steps to greet the approaching group. Some civilians gathered to see the scene, others didn't really understand what a Player or Creator was to a vision holder, while Diluc—

Diluc stood by the steps to see them crowd around you.

You, surrounded with words of gratitude and cheerful squeals. He sees the smile on your face and feels relief that you don't seem too overwhelmed.

He leaves the area without a second thought.

•

He doesn't exactly see you around the next few days. With Mondstadt celebrating a new festival, the taverns were always full and busy with customers (both local and foreign). You were probably busy too, spending time with the different allogenes and entertaining those who came from Liyue to meet you. He's heard of a funeral consultant with three crowns (are consultants that admirable of a job to you?) and an adeptus gifted with various five-star polearms (this was understandable for the adepti, unlike the consultant).

He doesn't expect to see you at all until you leave for the next nation, honestly.

That is, until the tavern settles into a more peaceful atmosphere and Jean rushes in with several other allogenes. It's unusual to see his childhood friend in the tavern; still, he greets her amicably and asks what brings her here.

"(Name) will be coming here soon with Kaeya and a few others. It's a little impromptu, but we were hoping for a place to settle in with drinks. Perhaps try some apple cider." She smiles, taking a seat by the bar.

(Name)? Jean was already on a first name basis with the Creator?

Diluc thinks perhaps Jean truly is the favorite, she does have a few golden stars in her home.

Somehow, it's not surprising at all to know that his apple cider was famous enough to drag you in. At least there's something about the Dawn Winery in your favor. He promptly gets his employees to work, clearing a few tables near the bar, rearranging the furniture to give space good enough for a group.

Your entrance into the bar was just as lively; with your favored allogenes chatting away with you, everyone falling into place at different parts of the tavern, ordering drinks and meals.

He's glad you enjoy apple cider.

•

You're trying to play it cool, really. Trying your best not to get overexcited and glomp everyone and everything.

You're taking things step by step as you converse with Jean, Lisa, and Albedo; as you share meals with Barbara and Sucrose; as you play with Klee and Diona; tour the city with Fischl and Bennett. There's plenty of time to meet everyone and your schedule has been filled to the brim with all the fun your having.

You'll see that glimpse of red hair again— one that was lingering by the Cathedral staircase. Diluc doesn't like crowds, so it's fine that he isn't approaching you. It's also fine that he hasn't visited at least once, unlike the several raging from Liyue to Sumeru who took the journey to meet you early.

Diluc is too busy a person to meet you; whether it's because of the winery or his darknight hero duties, you wouldn't dare take his time.

— but when are you supposed to give him all the gifts you've brought for him???

Your determination to build him up in one go, from Talent levels to Constellations to Artifacts and Weaponry, all came down to this moment — and the man was simply nowhere to be seen!

An unknowingly loud sigh escapes your lips, catching the attention of the Cavalry Captain next to you.

"Now, what's got our (Name) so down in the dumps?" Kaeya hums, glancing at your face as you stutter a response.

"Aah it's not that, it's just. . ."

Your brother is too busy, I just want to meet him!!

"I'm thirsty." You deflect, looking around for a stall. The streets of Mond were nothing like the minimized version you see in the game; with the city being ten times larger than what you remembered it to be.

"Oh! Oh! Klee suggests apple cider!" The little girl giggles, running around your legs in excitement, "Angel's Share is nearby and big brother Albedo alwaaays takes me there for apple cider!"

Angel's Share. Bartender. A great idea has appeared!

At the excited look on your face, Jean walks up ahead of you.

"Why don't I go and inform the tavern to prepare us a space first, it would save us the waiting time."

"That would be great, Jean!"

•

You hope you aren't being too obvious.

With the way your eyes would linger on him, casting side glances and hoping he would greet you to strike up a conversation, the way most allogenes do. You didn't want to abruptly disturb his work, nor do you want seem desperate, so you waited for his initiative.

Yet, Diluc lingers just a little outside your group's circle. Your food and drinks were refilled by Charles, you've talked with nearly everyone but the person you want to talk to.

"It's getting pretty late, we should head home for the night." Someone suggests.

What?

No!

"Hm? Do you still have something in mind?" Kaeya asks. You realized you said it out loud, catching the attention of nearby patrons.

With a frantic glance around the tavern, your eyes make contact with Diluc's. He pauses as well, wondering what caused your little outburst.

You are definitely not leaving, not when you don't know when you could catch Diluc in his free time again! You'd be leaving for Liyue by then!

Hands slamming the table to stand up and with a small burst of courage, you approach the bartender who turns away from Charles. He raises an eyebrow at your approach. It's odd the way you feel flustered and nervous, finally facing him.

Pausing just in front of him, he looks on curiously.

"Would you like a refill?" He asks.

"A-ah no, I mean, yes but that's not why I'm here. I. . ." You stutter, stumbling over your words as you try not to behave awkwardly. Should you start with a casual topic?

"You seem to be quite busy." You say.

Diluc blinks. He isn't sure what you're implying. Neither is Kaeya or Jean, who stopped to look at the exchange of words.

"I suppose. . . but as a winery, we do thrive in impromptu festivities." He replies curtly before realizing, was it rude that he never visited the Creator?

"Ah, is it my lack of visit? I apologize, I would have visited but it seems that you were quite satisfied with your favorites and-"

"No, no, no," You wave your hand, cutting him off, "I understand you're busy. You don't have to visit at all! How could I take your time— wait," You pause, recalling his words.

"Favorites?" You tilt your head, "What do you mean I seemed satisfied with my favorites? What do you mean by favorites?"

"Your favorites... allogenes who received your favor. Those you have granted gifts."

Your jaw laxes. Favorites? They decided you play favorites based on how much you've built them?

"You think. . ." You say carefully, not wanting to hurt anyone's feelings, "That I offer gifts to my favorites?"

Diluc nods slowly, unsure of your questioning.

Although it would be a lie to say you didn't have your personal favorites, it would still be inaccurate that it's based on gifts. After all, you built everyone who came home by chance. As an avid player, you did your best to farm and push everyone to their full potential.

Diluc, however, never came home no matter how much you wanted him to. It can't be possible that he doesn't know how much he is loved, right?

"Then what about you?" You blurt out, "How do you think I view you?"

He stares at you oddly. At this point, many around you had stopped to tune in. Everyone knew Master Diluc never received your favor, so why are you conversing with him?

Meanwhile, Diluc wonders if you want him to admit it. Must he say it in front of everyone how he never received gifts?

"I suppose. . . I'm not one of them. It's quite understandable. I don't intend to question your judgement—"

"What?" You exclaim, a look of shock crosses your face, "You think I don't like you?" Voice raised in disbelief, you feel the eyes of many turning to watch the scene.

Diluc mirrors your confusion.

"I can't believe you would– no, that isn't it at all!" You stutter over your words, a frantic need to prove him wrong goes through you, "You— you of all people!"

"Me?" He repeats.

"I've always wanted you!"

A silence settles over the tavern. Did you have to put it so bluntly? You freeze in shock at your own words. Diluc's expression of disbelief turns flustered, face turning as red as his hair.

Explain yourself.

"I- I mean, I've always wanted you to come home. Ever since the start, really! It's just that you never did-"

"Hmm... so it implies that it's out of your control, correct?" Kaeya piqued, looking on curiously. He's been listening in the entire time. You nod your head.

"Yes! It's a game of chance for me as well. It's not to say that favor is an accident, I truly wanted everyone to come home! It's just that—" You turn to Diluc, "You never did, no matter how much I wanted you to. How was I supposed to give you your gifts?"

Diluc snaps out of his shock, blinking at you, "Gifts?"

"Yes, gifts! I've been saving them up for you, ever since the start." You pause, shyly looking away, "When I said I wanted you since the beginning I meant it. I came here for you, after all."

He looks at you in disbelief, and probably half the tavern as well. You can't help the small chuckle from your lips. With an outstretched hand, something materializes between you. It glows a blinding golden light, before settling to reveal–

"Wolf's Gravestone. It's a weapon for you."

You didn't have to say it— anyone with eyes could see how it was practically made for Diluc. With large handles and a color scheme that matches his own, Wolf's gravestone doesn't look as divine or ethereal as the other weapons you've gifted, but it looked just as powerful, if not menacing.

With a gesture, Diluc grips the handle.

"Fits like a glove." Kaeya whistles, impressed. As does the rest of the tavern who stopped to stare.

Suddenly, flames burst forth from the weapon. It sears and glows red. Unlike the common claymore that can't handle the the prowess of Diluc's flames, Wolf's Gravestone embraces it. Like an extension of his own hand.

He breaks his gaze away from the weapon to look at you.

"Thank you. . ." He mutters softly, but it's genuine. You smile.

"That's not the last of it, you know."

"What?"

With another flick of your hand, artifacts and talent books materialize. They flow around him like a dance as more and more begin to appear, lighting up the tavern like the night sky.

"I told you I brought gifts!"

All the days spent farming for him and other pyro characters finally paid off. The glimmering artifacts reflected in his own red eyes as he stares, entranced.

Favor did not come to him in meteor showers like it did to the other allogenes; rather, it came to him in your form. Proof of him being loved. The spectacle continued— after the artifacts and talent levels were the constellation (the crowd ooh'ed and aah'ed at the sight), then came the five star apparel (a nostalgic sight to him, and it changed his flames to a darker red), and the ascension materials you passed off as trinkets.

By the end of it, he had a hand over his lower face, his red bangs hid just the ends of his eyes. "I just thought I wasn't that favorable. . ." He muttered and you leaned in to peek at his covered face, wondering why he was shying away.

But it was evident to the tavern— the pink dusted ears, the flushed cheeks, and the overwhelming emotion in his eyes. Diluc Ragnvindr was flustered, and it's a sight enough to make even the drunks place down their beers for a closer look.

You bit your lip, trying to prevent the widest of smiles, "Do you believe yourself loved now?" You ask and he gives the faintest of nods.

"Thank you," He says, "For favoring me."

Holiday Season

pairing. obsessed!141 / polar bear-hybrid!reader *scenario/headcanons

note. gender neutral reader. reader is physically described to be 6ft or over. common hybrid features such as animal ears, tail, nose, claws, and paw pads.

cw. unhealthy relationships/yandere themes, meat and blood mentions, a lot of eating from hands mentions, a weird type of infantilization, big bad bear is called cute a stupid amount of times, dangerous but passive reader, vague made-up base because i watch too many movies.

Holed up in the middle of fucking nowhere, Alaska, the white wasteland. That's how the 141 were going to spend the merry month of December. Endless snow in sight and no family to be found. A complete and utter joke of a holiday season.

It scarcely matters, the food that's been stored, the dense furniture they've been given, even the solace they find in each other. It's miserable out here. The freeze is always licking at their skin, seeping through their layered clothes to cling to the exposed nape. It's their constant company.

Yet, something else bothers them. A hint that only their trained eyes could catch in their misery. An entity, perhaps, something that follows the men without rest. It's a shadow of winter, blanketing itself around the base and leaving its warmth with no trace to its next destination. Only something another human could pull off.

Dishes left strewn on the counter are returned to their cupboards, clean and scrubbed. Leftovers are consistently missing a bite more than what Soap remembers wolfing the night before. If a blanket or pillow goes missing, best bet it doesn't come back. It doesn't take much convincing for Price to round up his boys to find out the root of their question. Not when they've nothing else to do.

It's Soap who finds you first. Rummaging through the fridge with a plastic container in your hands, that adorable black nose covered in spaghetti sauce. He wonders how they didn't hear you sooner with the way you carelessly scarf down the contents. You remind him a little of himself...

Little round ears perk up at the sound of his gasp. Soap freezes in place as your head cranes back to inspect him. Eyes staring at him with indifference, a lone noodle stuck to your cheek and tomato red staining your considerably large teeth. Sharp and big, enough to poke out from your mouth and dig into your chapped bottom lip. A similarly large grayish-blue tongue swipes out to clean the damning evidence.

So. Fucking. Cute.

Johnny is thanking the names of every God he knows when you let him lead you by hand to his team. A new warmth flows through his body, lighting up his dormant nerves in the winter night, your thick black claws prodding into his rough skin. You must be a docile ol' thing, obediently following him to his buddies, though only after he bribes you with more meals to come. He'll cook up the whole damn kitchen if it means you trail him like this daily.

Ghost is sure that Johnny's the one hiding furry ears and a tail when he rushes over like a dog with a fresh new bone. That, and he's more crazy than he imagined dragging over what looks to be a six foot something polar bear hybrid right his way. Ghost doesn't forget things easily, and he's confident that said bears are known to be the most eager predators in the presence of flesh. Not just by circumstance, no, by nature.

A strange thought does pop up in head. That fluffy white tail you sport catches his eye for longer than he'd like to admit. He wonders. If he offered up a nice, raw chunk of seal to you, would it wag in anticipation? Would your ears twitch at the sounds of his boots crunching in the snow, bringing you yet another delicious catch? He could be the perfect provider for you, he thinks. Maybe even have you hunt alongside him, a bonding ritual of sorts. Blood all over your mouth, allowing only Simon to dab away at your chin with a towel. What a sight to behold. Two predators in the same room.

Gaz takes a step away before doing the exact opposite a minute later. You're not just some wild animal, and he's half worried he just disrespected you to your face (you didn't see it). Any bit of nervousness he had melts away when you gently push your nose into his warm hands. He was going for a handshake, but this is surprisingly preferred. Seems he missed wiping some the cocoa from a recent pot of hot chocolate. He hadn't expected you to be so... soft. If you want more, he's got a heap of cookies hidden away in his room. No issue with you visiting him for a late night snack. Christ, he'll even handfeed you if you're feeling lazy, no worries.

Captain Price nearly drops the flimsy cup of coffee held in his gloved hands. Fucking giant thing you are. He nearly drops it again when your nose takes a sharp turn to the smell of his beverage. Not picky, are you... He'll keep note of that for later. From the looks of it, you're adapting well to the chaos of his batch, sniffing and patiently waiting for Soap to release you from his iron grip on your paw pad. He also takes note of what your wearing almost immediately, Arctic grade parka wrapped around your waist in favor of standard workwear, more akin to a jumpsuit than winter gear. Unbelievable. However, that does explain it now. You work here.

It makes sense, considering you're one of the more volatile hybrids. So many people, including your bosses, are uneasy about the predators. It must've been particularly bad for you. Hiding you away in a big and lonely base to eat dinner at an empty table. The world unable to appreciate you for what you are.

Price on the other hand, he knows his boys like the back of his hand. They understand your type. Would take you in without judgement or fear. Indulge you. Feed you fat red meat from calloused palms and let you lap at the warm blood still dripping on the snow. Gladly clean the droplets that stain your pure white parka. Make you warm.

• For the longest time, Vox is unnerved by you for every other reason than your appetite. Anyone associated with Rosie is an adversary by proxy. If you take Alastor out of the picture, Rosie is still an Overlord and all Overlords will inevitably crumble to The Vees– even if they don’t know it yet

• There’s an expression for that though, isn’t there? Keep your enemies close. That’s exactly how Vox went about dealing with you

• Gives you a job as his security guard. Hell knows he needs one, what with the price of fame and all, those dirty fucking sinners that try and touch him wherever he goes

• It’s a slow development because neither of you initiate conversation

• Vox is beyond used to the rotating door of demons in and out of his life. He abandons the names of anyone that isn’t you, Velvette or Valentino (Angel Dust and Alastor he can’t forget against his will)

• Becoming attached to you while simultaneously waiting for the other shoe to drop is fucking awful. It feels it like a bug in his system, annoys him to the point his screen starts glitching one day

“Just what the fuck are you up to!? I know you’re with Rosie–”

You knew, on some level, Vox didn’t trust you all the way but it didn’t bother you because he hardly seems to trust anyone. So you cut him off with a mix of a snort and a scoff,

“Rosie? Rosie’s a cunt. She gave me the boot years ago, haven't seen her since.”

Involuntarily, he begins to smile, “Years, huh?”

• Trust is another slow endeavor. Now that Vox doubts your motives slightly less than before, he can silently appreciate the fact you do a damn good job of keeping demons away from him. Bonus: if you happen to take a chunk out of them for shits and giggles, blood never touches his pristine self

• “I believe I owe you an apology,”

“Am I going to get one?”

• In a way, sure, but you’ll be sorely disappointed if you thought it was with words. He invites you to dinner. From that moment until you arrive at the restaurant, he’s reveling in the constant state of shock you seem to be in

• Your eyebrows jump when the waiter nervously lifts the lid from your plate and reveals ribs. Real, demon ribs

“Surprised?” Vox asks rather smugly

“Somewhat,” You return his sly smirk, “Most can’t stomach my… indulgences.”

“I don’t have a stomach. I think I’ll be just fine.”

˚✧₊⁎ Velvette ⁎⁺˳✧༚

• Vel doesn’t give two steaming shits about Rosie or her backwards, unflattering town so long as it doesn’t interfere with her enterprise. Vox’s grudges are his own. If The Vees got hellbent and demented over each other’s EOTD (Enemy Of The Day) nothing would get done!

• During a pathetic comment war on the her social, a few threats became too detailed for Vox’s liking

• A cannibal wasn’t his first choice– or second, or third– but you’d certainly scare off anyone trying to hurt his business partner!

• Velvette’s far from worried about being lunch when she meets you.

• “You’re my–? No. Absolutely not! I can’t be seen with this.” She gestures to all of you

“You’re not exactly making me drool either,” You mutter under your breath

• Judging by the looks of her partners’ faces, stunning Velvette to silence was impossible. Key word: was

• It didn’t last long and hasn’t stopped since

• She pulled out every trick in the book to get you to quit. She gave you a uniform to wear during your shifts, tossed fabrics at you until you turned into a living clothes rack, forced you to hold her phone during her live streams but criticized and berated the way you did

• For fucks sake, she even screamed at Vox to let her fire you!

• You didn’t need her to like you and that was as obvious as it was infuriating. She was Velvette! Everyone loved her! Having you around was like a black eye; literally bruising her ego and bad for business

• Or so she thought

• She made you stand in the shadows of her studio so you wouldn’t frighten anyone and ruin photoshoots with your “freaky face” she so eloquently put it.

• Velvette was mid fashion crisis, yelling at Joanne for the gazillionth time, when you approached from behind

“I’m taking my lunch.”

“Fucking fantastic! Here, have Joanne since she insists on being fucking useless!”

Playing along, you let a guttural growl rip from your throat, making Joanne jump high in the air.

She squeaked and shook her head vigorously, holding her hands in surrender, “I-I’ll be better, I swear!”

• Her candy cane eyes widened in delighted surprise. How had she been so blind to your potential usefulness!?

• Velvette could get high off the new game she created with you. It was like having a scary guard dog– only better dressed to aesthetics. Paparazzi didn’t dare touch her now, standing at a respectable distance that made her more unattainable and desirable than before

• Her attitude change makes her like-able to you too, she’s heaps more pleasant to be around now. You don’t mind doing the extra stuff that wasn’t in your contract like being a dress up doll, dealing with the pet names or escorting her to events. She knows and takes advantage of this instead of saying how she feels

• “You’re my arm candy now, dollface! You go where I go.”

“I hardly think I qualify as arm candy,” You mumble to her, overtly aware of how she holds you close to her

“If you’re fishing for compliments, fuck off to another pond. I don’t waste my free time with uggos,” She says seriously, abruptly smiling as a camera flashes in her direction, “Now get ready. Fans have been dying to get a picture with me lately and if anyone smudges this dress with their dirty fucking fingers, I want you to bite them off!”

“Anyone that touches you won’t have hands tomorrow,” You promise

• You swear she shivers upon hearing that

˚✧₊⁎ Valentino ⁎⁺˳✧༚

• The easiest by far to get along with. In a mortifying way

• Val is fairly accepting of all Hell’s creatures. It’s typically followed up by something sexual but, hey, you’re not in a position to complain, not when no one else in Hell would willingly sign up to work with a cannibal. Especially one outside the confines of Rosie’s civil town

• Rosie’s loss is his gain

• You would be lying if you said you weren’t expecting him to turn horror-struck but he barely blinks when you explain what you did to get exiled. Your savage methods intrigue him, a plethora of potentials just waiting to be explored. In fact, he goes a step further to praise you for being different

• “Hell would be deathly boring if everyone thought the same way, darling. That’s what makes you so… alluring.” He rolled his tongue with the last word, dragging it out and making it ring in your ears

• You’d been called many things in your afterlife, but never that

• You feel rather useless at the moth’s side. You were supposed to be protecting him but he could take care of himself just fine. Val was about the tallest in every room (if not the tallest) with guns hidden under his coat that he never used

• Later you’d understand he only reached for them as a last resort, when his head was unclouded by blood lust

• If you ever voiced your complaints, he’d be quick to reassure you that you make him look good. What powerful Overlord doesn’t have bodyguards? (Do. Not. Answer.)

• However the day does come when you prove your services have merit. On set of all places! A coked up Hellhound didn’t take kindly to Val’s directions, sending a demon wielding a boom mic flying towards him

• Valentino dodged the demon with ease, whipping around and aiming his pistol to put the dog down. Instead he saw you pushing the mutt’s face into the ground, his arm pinned at an angle. Your sharp teeth were bared at his throat, drool dampening his fur

• But you made no moves without Valentino’s say-so

• There’s a lot he could say about the scenario you provided him and how it made him feel– but he only calls your name, beckoning you back to his side

• Where you belong

• “You’re lucky I don’t like hair in my food,” You growl in the Hellhound’s ear before following after Val

• Valentino may be a mastermind of porn and sex but he knows the real way to a demon’s heart, it’s is the universal love language

• Unbothered by blood, he’ll sit pretty and poised on his loveseat while you tear into the meal he provided you. A thanks for a job well done

• “You’ll never go hungry now that you’re with me, monstruo,” The pet name is dripping with adoration, “I won’t waste you like that bitch did. Look at you, you’re already so special.”

╰(*´︶`*)╯♡ i lost the request that went to this but i hope it reaches them. cannibal!reader got that rizz, huh?

hi!! before i go i jus wanna say, I love your work 🙏🏽 and I finally watch hamilton last night so I might write for it as well 😋😋 but i have a drabble idea.

anyways— thomas having a dance/ball for a campaign during the election and he meets aaron’s little sister, mc, who snuck in. and he can’t help but take interests in her.

“Now, what’s a lady like you doin’ getting a drink just for yourself? Nobody’s offered to do that for you yet?”

Y/N froze as her fingers met the stem of the champagne flute. She had promised herself she would stay to the outskirts of the ball, and her only goal for the night had been to avoid courting attention. However, the packed room was warm, and it was only more so at its perimeter under the lights, and the crisp bubbly had looked oh-so-inviting.

She turned with a polite smile as she picked up the glass, but her eyes widened when she saw the man behind her with his gleaming smile and his velvet suit. She recognized him instantly; after all, she’d seen him before, and he’d even been in her home, but they’d never formally met. He raised an eyebrow when her smile faltered. “I’ve only just arrived. I haven’t had a chance to speak to much of anyone just yet.”

“Then I’m gonna have to count myself lucky to have found you when I did. Thomas Jefferson.” He offered her a hand as he introduced himself, and when she took it, he dipped down to press a soft kiss to her knuckles. Her eyes went even wider.

She cleared her throat as he drew himself back up to his full height, still holding her by the fingertips, and it took a moment for it to occur to her to withdraw her hand. “You’re the host of this ball, then, if I’m not mistaken. Thank you for opening your home to us like this.”

“Believe me, sugar, the pleasure’s all mine,” he said. “Who’re you here with? Feel like I’ve seen you around, but I can’t put my finger on it.”

“Oh, um, my family’s here somewhere. I came on my own, though, and I was planning to meet them here.”

“Your family?” He pursed his lips. “You’re not a Schuyler, are you?”

“No, no, certainly not,” she replied before hastily adding, “although the Schuylers are lovely people, of course. To be a part of their family would make one lucky.”

“So you know the Schuylers, then?” he mused, and she nodded. His growing smile was making her mouth go dry. “I know where I recognize you from; you’re a Burr, aren’t you? Aaron’s sister?”

“I am, yes.” Her smile was tense, laced with unease. His grin was bright as he plucked a drink for himself off of the table behind them.

“So why haven’t I seen you at one of these before? Your family trying to keep you locked away from all the politics?” he asked, and as her eyebrows fell, he could see the look in her eyes sour.

“They’ve decided I can’t be trusted at this kind of event,” she said bitterly, and he quirked a brow. “Aaron claims he’s afraid I’ll say the wrong thing and jeopardize his career, but really, I think he just can’t deal with the idea of splitting people’s attention between us.”

“But you finally proved yourself trustworthy?” he asked mildly, taking a sip of his drink, and she shrugged uncomfortably.

“I suppose so.”

“Then where’s your dear brother now, hm? Why aren’t you here with the rest of your family?” He watched her expectantly, and when she didn’t answer right away, his grin broadened. “They don’t even know you’re here, do they?”

“No, and you’re not going to be the one to tell them,” she said sharply, pointing her champagne flute at him. He raised his eyebrows, amused by the fervor in her tone. “I had to walk miles alone in the dark to get here; I am not being thrown out as soon as I arrive.”

“Well, sweetheart, if you’re not with them, then really, I should be sendin’ you on your way.” Despite the threat, his voice was breezy, and she frowned.

“And what do you have to gain from kicking me out?”

“The respect and appreciation of your family,” he suggested blithely. “The knowledge that I’m not leavin’ a young lady to walk home alone ‘n vulnerable at the end of the night. ‘S just the right thing to do, really.”

She eyed his small smile for a moment before slowly asking, “But despite that, you’d rather I stay, wouldn’t you?” He shrugged unabashedly. “You’re quite shameless, aren’t you, Mr. Jefferson?”

“Only on a good day.” He winked as he took a sip of his drink. “After all, you went through all that effort to get here. There’s gotta be a good reason for it, huh?”

“Of course. I’m here to expand my mind just like everyone else," she said, and he raised an eyebrow.

“And not for the charming future president we’ve got roaming the ball?”

“Oh, I wasn’t aware there was one. Let me know if you see him?”

His full laugh proved him undeterred, and Y/N’s self-satisfied smile was reluctant. "'M glad to see you inherited more of the family wit than your brother seemed to."

"Please, don't tell him that. A lady needs to keep some things a secret."

"It'll stay between us, then," Thomas said, "but I don't think I ever got your name."

"Why, so you know whose presence to report to my brother?"

"So I know who to ask after the next time I see him." His response was quick, and it had Y/N on her heels. Her eyes were wide, eyebrows raised, but when she opened her mouth to answer—

"Y/N." Both she and Thomas turned on their heels at the loud voice to find her brother striding across the room toward them, and her groan was unchecked. The fury in Aaron's voice was barely contained. "What in the world do you think you're possibly doing here, sneaking out after dark? How did you even get here?"

"I brought myself, since nobody else was willing to take me," she bit back, and Thomas raised his eyebrows as he took a sip of his drink.

"That wasn't your decision to make," Aaron snapped. "We are a family, and you have to respect that—"

"Respect what? That you have total control over my life in the name of family values? Do you know how ridiculous that sounds?" she asked. "I respect that you have a career and a reputation to maintain, but I am a person, and—"

"And nothing, Y/N. Put the drink down, and leave Mr. Jefferson at peace," he demanded, and Y/N narrowed her eyes, her jaw set. Aaron turned to Thomas, and much of the fire in his voice had subsided when he said, "I'm sorry for her intrusion, Thomas. We didn't know she had followed us here, and we'll send her home at once."

"Now, Aaron, what makes you think she's uninvited company?" Thomas asked, and both Y/N's and Aaron's brows were raised. "Y/N's my guest here this evening; 's the opposite of an intrusion."

He frowned, glancing between Thomas and Y/N. "You mean you're responsible for her presence here tonight?"

"Well, I invited her, so I suppose you could say that," he said casually, and if he winked when he caught Y/N's eye, Aaron didn't think anything of it. Aaron's lips were pursed and his shoulders tense as he glanced between them.

"Why didn't you tell me Thomas had invited you?" he asked Y/N, and she shrugged.

"I didn't think you'd want to hear it, and I didn't want you trying to prevent me from coming."

"If I'd known he asked you to come—"

"So, what, my personhood is dependent on his permission now?"

"Your presence here is, at least."

"As a Burr, I would've been welcome either way."

"Not unattended, however."

"I can attend to myself just fine."

"You know that isn't what I mean when—"

"Aaron, was there somethin' else you needed?" Thomas cut him off, and Aaron's gaze was affronted when it snapped to him. However, he held his tongue. "I was just about to ask Y/N to dance, assuming that's her decision to make 'n all."

Y/N had to bite back her smile at his words, and although Aaron seemed to recognize the challenge in them as his jaw ticked, he said, "Of course. I'm sorry to have interrupted."

"Don't sweat it. Your concern for your sister is awful sweet, even if it isn't needed here," Thomas responded, his smile warm.

"'Concern' isn't how I'd describe it," Y/N muttered bitterly, and Thomas nudged her with his elbow. She frowned.

"Carry on 'n enjoy the rest of the ball, though, and please send my best to your wife," he said. Aaron could only offer a tense smile in response.

“You as well. I suppose I should go find Theodosia.” He looked down skeptically at Y/N. “How are you planning to get home?”

Y/N’s eyebrows shot up. “Oh, I…” She hadn’t thought that far, so her gaze was hopeful when it snapped to Thomas, who held her with a hand at the small of her back.

“I’ll arrange for a carriage to take her home,” he promised. “Don’t you worry, Burr. She’s in safe hands.”

“Right,” he said hesitantly, looking Thomas over. “I’ll leave you to it. Don’t do anything stupid, Jefferson.”

“‘S like you don’t even know who you’re talkin’ to,” Thomas said incredulously, and Aaron scoffed.

“I’m sure.” He barely spared them both another glance before departing unceremoniously, shaking his head all the while, and Thomas chuckled. Y/N turned back toward him.

“You’re a regular local hero,” she said sardonically, but the smile in her eyes betrayed her bored tone. Thomas grinned.

“I do try, sweetheart,” he said lightly, “maybe even in a way that deserves a ‘thank you’?”

“Thank you.” Her voice was sincere. “Really. I owe you.”

“Well, if you mean that,” he said, and his eyes were shining as he looked down at her, “I wouldn’t mind making good on that dance I mentioned. Unless you’re in a real rush to get back to your dear old brother.”

He offered her his arm with an eyebrow raised, and she left her empty glass on the table behind them when she took it, drawing a wide grin from him. “How could I say no to our charming host?"

This was so sweet!

KNY Headcanons: When The Uzui’s All Fall For the Same Woman

Featuring: Tengen Uzui, Hinatsuru Uzui, Makio Uzui, and Suma Uzui

TW: Mentions of pregnancy, brief mention of childbirth, family death, mostly fluff, mostly the Uzui’s simping over a pretty fiesty woman

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hinatsuru

-The demons were defeated, humanity was saved, everything was right with the world now. Nobody had to fight anymore or risk their lives so new life could finally be created. Hinatsuru was the first of the Uzui Wives to fall pregnant, now round with the first heir to her beloved Tengen she found it a bit difficult to be useful around the large home.

-She tried her best to help the others with cleaning and maintaining the home but she grew tired far to quickly and she found herself constantly hungry.

-While out purchasing vegetables from the market her keen nose caught scent of a wonderfully delicious smell. Before she could realize it her feet carried her towards the smell until she arrived at a small family owned restaurant.

-“Welcome!”, a chipper voice called out from inside.

-Hinatsuru, although embarrassed by her salivating mouth, slowly entered the restaurant to be greeted by the most beautiful woman she’d ever laid her eyes on. She felt her heart skip a beat and felt her skin warm at the sight of the bustling woman.

-“Welcome Madam, please hav- oh.”, you stopped mid sentence noticing Hinatsuru’s round belly, “Oh I’m so sorry for making you wait. Here sit here on this bench, I’ll get an entra cushion for you to sit on.”

-Hinatsuru was awestrucked by your consideration and kindness, you seated her at a raised booth seat table with extra cushions to sit on. She was careful to sit and grateful for your help, “What can I get for you today madam?”, you asked sweetly pouring her a fresh cup of herbal tea.

-Hinatsuru lost in her lovestruck daze didn’t quite hear you but you were calm and patient waiting for her response. She blinked about four times before realizing you’d been speaking to her, “O-Oh! I’m so sorry…I…umm…everything sounds so good but I’m afraid it might be to heavy for me.”

-“We have a ramen in a light soy milk broth and the noodles are made from bread flour, and topped off with charred vegetables. Perfect to fill an empty stomach and revitalize a tired body.”, you offered her the perfect meal which she happily ordered.

-Hinatsuru was surprised by your consideration and kind heart, most people would often shun her or degrade her for being pregnant and wandering about unaccompanied by her husband but you were different. You looked at her with the fondest gaze, gave her a warm smile, and treated her like a proper woman.

-“Here you are Madam, please call out to me if you need anything else.”, you presented her food to her with a bow of your head, “Please enjoy.”

-Hinatsuru did indeed enjoy her meal, the broth was light and flavorful, the noodles perfectly cooked and bouncy, and the charred vegetables were the best addition to the meal. She was full and the warmth of the broth melted away the ache from her tired muscles and provided her the energy she needed to get home.

-“Thank you so much for the meal it was delicious. I wish you great success and patronage for your lovely restaurant.”, Hinatsuru hummed in delight ready to head home.

-You smiled at her kind words and took her bags from her while offering her your arm to hold, “Thank you kindly for your compliments, I called in a favor from a friend of mine to take you home. You shouldn’t overexert yourself, your health is just as important as the baby’s.”

-She was surprised to see a wagon waiting outside for her, “Mamoru you better take her straight home or I’m poisoning your food the next time you come in!”, you growled playfully tossing a bag of steamed buns at him.

-“I already said I would have some faith in me you brat! Just as mean as your father, you should learn to be more lady like for your own sake (Y/n)!”, the man whined before stuffing a bun in his mouth.

-Hinatsuru couldn’t help but smile at your friendly bickering, she placed her bags at the edge of the wagon ready to lift herself up but she was pleasantly surprised when she was raised up onto the wagon.

-“There you go. Be careful getting home miss, if you’re ever hungry again come back and visit us.”, you smiled gently setting her onto the wagon.

-Hinatsuru could feel the warmth in her face, her smile was giving her away but she couldn’t help her wildly beating heart. She was falling in love, without realizing she was being wooed by a kind waitress.

-The wagon slowly began to move and Hinatsuru gasped realizing she hadn’t properly thanked you for the ride, she quickly raised her arm up into the air to wave you goodbye. “Th-Thank you so much (Y/n), I’ll be back again soon. Thank you for the delicious meal.”, she shouted just loud enough for you to hear.

-You smiled and waved her off, on the ride home Hinatsuru inquired more about you from the wagon driver who was more than happy to spill everything he knew about you. Hearing that your kind disposition and playful demeanor were truly who you were made her smile grow.

-Eventually the wagon made it to the Uzui mansion where the rest of the family waited patiently for their pregnant wife to return home. Makio and Suma helped unload the bags while Tengen helped Hinatsuru down from the wagon. The three remaining Uzui members noticed a change in their round wife and it piqued their curiosity.

-“Hina what happened out there today? Was it something good, you’re smiling a lot right now.”, Tengen chuckled pressing a kiss to her temple.

-Hinatsuru was indeed smiling and it was a smile of love, “I met an Angel today.”, was all she could say before happily waddling back into the manor.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Makio

-Hinatsuru had never been the same after that outing, she was far more bubbly and loving despite the pressure that came with being pregnant. Everyone else was curious but decided not to act on their instincts, everyone except Makio that is.

-She took it upon herself to investigate and quickly realized that Hinatsuru had fallen in love, now the question was with who?

-She followed Hina out on one of her weekly supply runs and found her admiring the hairpins at a local accessory vendor. She found one that seemed a bit odd for her taste and bought it before continuing through the town. Eventually she found her at a small family restaurant and followed her in.

-“Table for two please.”, Makio announced to the host, Hinatsuru froze once she realized she’d been caught. They were both quickly seated at a raised table and Makio glared daggers at her wife.

-“Care to explain yourself?”, she growled.

-Hinatsuru opened her mouth to say something only to be interrupted by a sweet boisterous voice, “Hina! Look how big you’ve gotten, I’m sure you’ve got a healthy baby boy in there.”

-Makio noticed Hinatsuru’s body soften up and the smile that graced her face once another woman arrived at the table. “A friend?”, Makio thought watching as the woman hugged Hinatsuru tight around her shoulders.

-“What can I get for you today? Any special cravings?”, the woman asked.

-“Hmm something a bit spicy and my regular tea please.”, Hina ordered, flashing a pleading glare at Makio to behave. The waitress smiled and turned to Makio ready to take her order, “I…I’ll take an order of spicy tuna onigiri please.”, Makio requested in a stumbled voice.

-“Of course madam, right away. By the way you have very lovely eyes.”

-Makio felt her heart skip a beat at such a straightforward comment, no one was ever so bold to openly praise her like this let alone another woman. Once the waitress left she leaned forward with a judging stare, “Is she who you’ve been coming to see every week?”, she growled.

-Hinatsuru didn’t hesitate to say ‘yes’. “Can you blame me? (Y/n) is just so charming and considerate, you’d love her if you’d give her a chance.”

-“Hina we are married. Lord Tengen has three wives, three, and you’re pregnant! Why would you fall in love with someone else at such a delicate time?”, Makio growled.

-Hina’s smile dropped just a bit, she couldn’t help but sigh easily understanding what Makio meant, “Remember when we were talking about how the manor seemed to be lacking something? I think the manor was lacking the person who could truly make home feel like home. Ever since peace came to Japan it’s felt like we’ve been growing distant despite our shared joy over my pregnancy. I think that (Y/n) is the piece we’ve been missing. She’s kind hearted, playful, mischievous, reliable, she’s just…so lovely.”, Hina hummed in content.

-Makio groaned listening to every word that came from her pregnant wife, it was true that the family lacked something. A spark you could say, but Makio was almost certain that it was just everyone’s need for a baby not so much another person to love.

-She gave it a try, she properly greeted you and talked with you while you worked. No matter how she tried to sway the conversation you followed her lead, listening to her, adding a comment here and there. You were so easy to get along with, Makio could finally understand what Hina meant.

-While sharing a conversation a robber barged in with a gun pointing it at anyone that moved, Makio stood up tall pulling her kunai from her thigh but stopped when she felt a warm grip on her arm. You were stopping her, “Protect Miss Hina.”, you ordered, the light in your eyes slowly fading as you tied up your hair and sleeves.

-Makio did as told and watched as you slowly moved towards the rogue robber, everyone stayed still while you kept direct eye contact with your opponent. He was inexperienced, you could tell from his stance and from the rattling of his arm, “I feel sorry for you.”, you sighed throwing a plate in the air that his frenzied eyes followed.

-While he was distracted you rushed for his wrist and stabbed his wrist with your hairpin forcing him to drop the gun. You were strategic and cold with your movements, as quickly as he’d entered you’d incapacitated him and knocked him unconscious by slamming the back of his head into the wall.

-“Did she just-“ “She sure did Makio. (Y/n)’s not trained like us but she knows a thing or two about self defense.”, Hinatsuru sighed in relief knowing that everyone was now safe.

-The restaurant was closed early that day because of the incident and the two Uzui wives noticed the sudden sadness in your eyes. Your favorite hairpin had broken because of the excessive force you used to stab the man and now you were upset about it. Makio noticed this and remembered the hairpin that Hinatsuru had purchased earlier. “This was for her wasn’t it?”, Makio smiled.

-Your wagon driver friend was taking the Uzui wives home again and Hina nodded from her place on the edge of the cart. Makio smiled and ran to thank you for protecting them, she hugged you tight which certain helped your mood a bit. “Here this is for you, thank you so much for today. We’ll be back.”, Makio smiled placing the box in your hand before running off.

-The cart was almost out of sight when you finally decided to open the box, your smile widened and a blush formed across your face from ear to ear, it was a new hairpin just for you. “Those ladies are so sweet.”, you hummed feeling your heart skip a beat.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Suma Uzui

-Now Suma was a surprise to the whole family because she already knew you beforehand, on a rather stressful day you’d helped her in the market when her bag had ripped and her produce had been trampled on by a carriage. She was in tears, a blubbering mess really but you were there to lend a helping hand.

-“Miss?”, you called out offering her your hand, “A pretty thing like you shouldn’t be on the floor crying, here give me your hand.”

-She took your hand and sniffled while trying to wipe away her tears, you smiled softly at her and gently wiped away her tears with the sleeves of your kimono. “No need to cry, everything will be alright, here I’ll help you.”, you offered her your arm before leading her back into the market. The produce owner that she’d just bought from replaced everything for her after you’d whispered something into his ear.

-Although you seemed like a fair innocent woman you were in fact a intellectual and conniving person with knowledge about several misdeeds from everyone in town. You only played dirty with those who deserved it and a man that charges a poor woman double for his poor produce was certainly an example.

-Suma thanked you for the help and offered you an apple as a thank you since she had nothing else, you smiled and took the token of appreciation before giving her something in exchange. A small box of homemade daifuku mochi, she gasped in surprise and felt her stomach grumble to the thought of eating the mochi.

-You two exhanged goodbyes and she noticed a pretty little moon shaped charm dangling in your hair, she recalled the stories that Makio and Hinatsuru had shared with her about a kind hearted woman that looked like a goddess and gasped realizing it was you.

-It wasn’t much of a surprise when you two met again at the family restaurant when she went back with Makio and Hinatsuru. Months had passed and Hina was close to delivering so she wouldn’t be able to visit anymore after today. The moment Suma saw you in the male restaurant uniform she gasped loudly in shock and pointed at you a bit dramatically.

-Makio knocked a heavy punch into the back of her head forcing her to behave and sit down, you laughed and argued with Makio not to be mean and gently rubbed the back of Suma’s head with your gentle hand.

-Just like the other Suma was bewitched by you, your personality allowed you to fit perfectly with everyone and you protected Suma from any unnecessary pain that Makio tried to cause her. You all chatted away like old friends completely lost in conversation and the food you prepared, Suma felt the spark just like the others. There was love in your eyes for each of them but you knew better then to act on it.

-The three Uzui wives left that say happy to see you and didn’t return until about two weeks later when Suma arrived at the restaurant in tears, “(Y/n)! (Y/n) please you have to come with me!”, she cried out panting for breath.

-“Su! Suma what’s the matter? Are you okay? Are you hurt?”, you screamed in a panic noticing her collapse at the entryway.

-Suma clung to you in tears, “H-Hina…th-the baby. The baby is coming but the midwife won’t make it in time, we need help please, we aren’t sure what to do!”, she cried begging you to help.

-You dropped everything at that very moment, th restaurant owner shouted at you to get back to work but you couldn’t knowing that the Uzui family needed you. You picked Suma up without hesitation and rushed out to Mamoru to ask for his horse. Naturally he was swayed by money and allowed you to take his horse, you helped Suma on before jumping on yourself and rode back to the Manor.

-She enough you could hear Hinatsuru’s screams of pain, you barged in and at that moment you met Lord Tengen who watched on in pain seeing Hinatsuru suffering. “Makio…get me a pail of warm water, Suma get me extra mats or sheets for the mess.”, you instructed calmly.

-“And who do you think you are?”, Tengen growled standing up and towering over you for being here at such a delicate time.

-“(Y-Y/n)!”, Hina cried from her place on the floor.

-You glared at Tengen who stood in your way and coldly stated, “Mortality rates are high during child birth, I’m the best shot you’ve got at keeping Hina and the baby alive. Now move and get out of my way.”

-Tengen was shocked by your attitude but your eyes showed how you truly felt, you were just as scared as him, but you were ready to help any way that you could. Tengen stepped aside allowing you to go to Hinatsuru, “It’s alright, everything will be okay now. Just bare with me.”, you begged softly pressing a delicate kiss to her clammy forehead.

-Suma and Makio arrived with the things you’d requested and you asked Tengen to find you a long rope or sash, he followed your command without question and returned with the labor rope and the pulley for it. Makio and Tengen both jumped up to the raptors above to tie the pulley and prepare the rope while you began to count Hina’s contractions.

-“Suma, Makio, stay here and help me. Lord Tengen I apologize for my boldness but I must ask you to leave, this isn’t something men should see.”, you ordered him out with the promise that Hina would be okay. Tengen nodded his head sitting outside of the room and guarding the door while you all helped Hina give birth. It was a long and exhausting process, her screams echoed through the manor for what seemed like hours but eventually the small cry of an infant echoed through the Manor.

-Tengen waited patiently to be let into the room, Suma was the one to get him. She was in tears, smiling and praising him for the family’s first baby. Makio was inside supporting Hinatsuru’s head on her thighs while the baby softly cried on her bare chest. “It’s a boy, a healthy baby boy.”, Hina smiled.

-Tengen smiled back at his tired wife and looked around for any signs of you to thank you but you were no where to be found. The room was cleaned of any mess and you were long gone, faded away into the night to allow the family their chance of peace and happiness.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tengen Uzui

-Six days! You had disappeared for six days after the birth of his son and you were no where to be found. Tengen was furious with you, how dare you come into his home order him around and then leave like that when he was just starting to like you.

-Lord Tengen was a force to be reckoned with, a retired demon slayer, a former shinobi, and powerful regardless of his missing arm and eye. Everyone knew better then to be in his way especially now since he looked like a man on a mission. He arrived at the family restaurant that Makio had told him about and was ready to carry you away back home but something was different.

-“Excuse me but where is your waitress? Miss (Y/n), is she in?”, Tengen asked confidently, peering around the restaurant for any sign of you.

-You boss, the owner of the restaurant, scoffed in annoyance and muttered something about you being at the graveyard nearby. Tengen was curious why you’d be at such a sad place but simply kept to himself and left without bothering much more.

-Sure enough he found you in the graveyard, kneeling in front of a large tombstone that you’d just cleaned, “Father I hope you can hear me, I hope you can find it in you to be happy for me despite never being able to provide you the grandchild you wanted so much. I never got to experience the love you and mom had but I finally got a glimpse of it. I finally got to see what true love was and experience what a family was.”, you spoke aloud to yourself.

-Tengen made his presence known with a small cough which quickly gained your attention, you gasped seeing him and he could only smile at you as he joined you in the ground and paid his respect to your family.

-“Shouldn’t you be at home taking care of Hina?”, you growled.

-“Shouldn’t you have stayed so we could’ve thanked you for all your hard work? The midwife and doctor both passed Hinatsuru and the baby with a clean bill of health and it was all thanks to you.”, Tengen smiled, gently resting his hand on your head to comfort you.

-You fell silent to the news but ultimately nodded your head as fresh tears started to fall from your eyes, “Th-That’s good…I’m glad they’re both fine and loved.”, you sobbed.

-Tengen didn’t like seeing you cry like this and gently wiped away your tears with his thumb, “Now don’t cry, it’s not very becoming of a woman like you. I like it better when you’re snarky and happy then when you cry.”, he chuckled.

-You couldn’t help but chuckle at his bursting overconfidence, how could he speak so casually to you like this? He had three wives, three, waiting for him at home with his first son. “Why are you here Lord Tengen?”, you asked.

-“Hinatsuru refuses to eat anything we give her, she was never this stubborn until she met you. She said she won’t take care of herself till you come home, you’re unmarried right? You’re boss is your guardian who treats you like dirt doesn’t he? Let me take you away from that, allow me the chance to see what charms you used to make all my wives fall in love with you.”, Tengen answered you boldly already prepared to not take no as an answer.

-You were surprised to hear such a bold demand from him but the smile on your face gave away how you felt, without having to answer Tengen smiled and tossed you over his shoulder with one arm and carried you all the way back home. You protested with him that you could walk and flailed in his arms only to be slapped on your butt by him.

-“You are such a perverted old geezer!”, you growled, punching his back.

-“I am not! You just don’t know when to behave!”, he huffed.

-You two bickered all the way home, Tengen liked your attitude it was refreshing and honestly motherly. You indeed were the missing piece to the family, a fifth pillar of support to all with the social skills necessary for day to day life. The moment the girls saw your tears poured from everyone’s eyes. Suma lunged at you first sobbing that she was angry with you for disappearing like that, Makio smacked you in the back of the head for leaving before hugging you and Hinatsuru… Hinatsuru was just relieved to see her precious Angel again.

-Here you were wanted, you were loved, you were a family and nobody would dare let you go again. You became (Y/n) Uzui the day Hinatsuru fell in love with you and nothing could ever change that.
