i thought of this at 3am and its canon now
Mc/Y/N/Yuu: I know that I left you all alone when I decided to go to my world, but I thought you'd be better off without me....and I was wrong, I see that now but...
Malleus:.....
Mc/Y/N/Yuu: Oh! Stop being so stoic Malleus! Go on! Shout! Scream! Say something!
Malleus, reaching out to touch Mc/Y/N/Yuu's cheek lovingly:.....You're as beautiful as the day I lost you
Mc/Y/N/Yuu, staring at Malleus in disbelief as a tear falls down their face:.......
Malleus, whipping the tear with a fond smile: oh, my love, please don't cry, you're beautiful

Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon
Headcanons request for Tony Starkâs daughter and tony being overprotective when someone says something mean in public when you stim. Thank you
(Except I liked this so much it became a full fic. Can be read standalone or as WYCFTQ)
You truly never understood the value neurotypicals placed on spontaneity. Its opposite, routine was everything that kept you grounded; safe, predictable, generally within your scope of capacity. Your worst days were the ones that were shoved off kilter by a change in plans, a cancellation, a meltdown that threw your timetable for a loop. You went to school, went to the tower, went home. That was your world. Small, but anything bigger felt unmanageable. Even that was barely manageable. So when Tony announced a surprise for you and Peter on an afternoon where school let off early, you felt unbalanced.
âMr Stark, pleaaaaaseeeee tell us I literally canât wait. I might die,â Peter, ever-impatient and fuelled by ADHD after his meds had worn off for the day, was literally vibrating with suspense. As opposed to your drained stillness, feeling like the floor had collapsed under you.
âYouâll like it, thatâs all Iâm giving you. Patience is a virtue, young one,â Tony raised an eyebrow at Peter, feigning a lecture. âAnd youâll be fine,â he turned to you. âWeâve practiced using your strategies. Weâll bring stim toys, your headphones, and Iâve asked where weâre going to turn the lights down and music off to make it accessible. And they listened, because Iâm me. We can leave as soon as you need, and youâve got your communication device to tell us if youâre non-verbal. Youâve got this. Itâll be good for you, and for this hyped one over here,â he ruffled Peterâs hair. âCapische? Good. Letâs go.â
Tony drove, but kept the music fairly low key. Peter was bouncing in the front seat, animatedly keeping a running list of all the possibilities that got increasingly far-fetched as Tony refused even the slightest hint. You had to admit, even through the snowdrift of anxiety that felt like it was building by the second, it was pretty funny. Amusing, even. Eventually, the Audi pulled into the parking lot of a mall and as he swung it in to park in the electric vehicle charging station, Tony pulled a baseball cap on low over his eyes.
âAlright, you ready?â
Peter was already halfway out of the car before the engine had been cut off. Tony turned to you. âWell, clearly someone isâ, he gestured to Peter. âYou doinâ okay?â At your nod, he continued in a near-whisper. âWeâre going to a toy store. Thereâs Lego and sensory stuff for days, and I promise youâll like it. But if itâs too much, Iâm right here, and youâve got your device to communicate. You say the word and we leave, no hesitation, okay?â At the mention of where you were going, you started happy flapping and bounced in your seat. Sensory stuff AND lego? Fuck yeah!!!! Some of the anxiety snowdrift melted back down and you got out to join Peter, who still had no idea where you were going and looked like the fact was making him positively implode. It was funny just how different you were, yet how you were both going to love this place.
At some point between the car and the store, you grabbed Tonyâs hand. It was grounding, which you needed when the sensory overload of the general mall walkthrough got disorienting. You stopped, fluorescent lights searing into your brain and the beginning of the meltdown urge to run crept up your spine. Peter, miles ahead and oblivious to just about everything except the mystery destination, kept going, but Tony pulled your noise canceling headphones out of his jacket pocket. âYou left these in the car,â he said by way of explanation, âAnd weâre nearly there. Youâve got this.â Resolve strengthened, you pulled the headphones over your ears, pressing the button on the side, hoodie pulled up, determined. If nothing else, you were going to get there for Peterâs sake- he might explode from excitement if it wasnât soon.
In line with Tonyâs promise, the toy store was bliss. The lights were dimmed and corporate music absent (thank Thor, and whatever other gods are out there), and the Lego. Oh my god, the LEGO. Rows of Star Wars and flowers and little city buildings and a huge tub of loose pieces, next to a free play table in the centre of the display. Sticking your hands deep into the cool plastic pieces felt positively heavenly, and in forgetting anyone else was around you were stimming freely in unfiltered joy. Vocal stimming, too.
âSurely youâre too old to be making those sorts of noises. I mean, Iâd expect them from my 2 year old grandchild, not at your big age.â
The admonishment came from a woman, somewhere between middle- and old-age, making her way over to you from the baby doll section. You froze. She meant you? You were so happy you hadnât been masking, not forcing the happy stimmy noises down the way you typically did when in the presence of others.
âYes, you, donât look at me all stunned. What are you doing in here anyway? You look too old to be playing, with Lego or with anything else.â
Fear felt like it was shutting down your access to comprehensible thought. Like moving through jelly, you pulled the lanyard around your neck forward to show the woman the pin. It was a green sunflower lanyard, the hidden disabilities awareness kind, and the button read âPlease do not touch me. Iâm Autistic.â You felt a distressed sound come from the back of you throat, whining, that you just couldnât push down. Tony Tony whERE IS TONY?
âHey y/n, have you seen-â
âOh, so youâre special. Thatâs nice of your⌠people⌠to bring you out like this. You know, into the community.â
âWhat the fuck did you just say to my kid.â
The baseball cap was off. Tony had come from the back of the store, from the sensory section with Peter, and stepped straight into the middle of the degrading, one-sided conversation you were now trying to practice your breathing exercises through. Youâd practiced them a million times, with Tony, Peter, Nat, Bucky, everyone said to practice because when the time came you needed them to work but right now you werenât sure they were enough because you felt like you were drowning. Special. You werenât fucking special, not in the way she meant it, you were just Autistic and Autistic is fine, Autistic isnât bad, you had as much right to be here as anyone else but that word was making your ears ring, and you felt like your head was underwater and you couldnât breathe and your hands were flapping but not in the good way in the too much bad energy need to get it out way. You needed weight, pressure, grounding, to be crushed, and, no longer paying attention to the conversation between Tony and the stranger, you pulled your AAC forward from its crossbody strap.
âSqueeze. Tony.â
âOkay, kid, yes, squeeze. I hear you.â You basically body slammed him as he crouched down to your level, and you hummed in relief as the hug was all the input your nervous system was craving. He turned to speak over the top of you.
âI need you to leave. Now. You had no right to say what you did. This is a public place, and my kid deserves access in the way that works for them. That includes stimming, and playing, in the way that brings them joy. I hope you learn from this.â
You assumed she left, because he didnât say anything else. You stayed, tightly held, until you pulled back from the hug cautiously.
âDo you want to leave?â You shook your head. No. As awful as that whole interaction had been, getting here was a task and you didnât feel you had made it worth it yet. âWant to see the sensory toys?â Yes yes yes a million times yes. Nodding wasnât enough; with trepidation, a little of the flappy happy hands broke through. Not fully, though. The word âspecialâ still echoed in the back of your mind, unwanted and uncomfortably present.
The sensory toy section was pure magic. There were bubble tubes, tactile fidgets, bouncy seats, spinners, lights, glitter bottles, projectors, a reversible sequin dinosaur, acupressure rings, a cocoon swing hanging from a frame⌠It was like a goldmine of sensory wonder. As you joined Peter in discovery, little by little the mask you put up melted away and you were spinning, joyfully bouncing on the balls of your feet, happy vocal stims free and unjudged. And if Tony was putting aside one of everything you showed interest in to purchase and bring home with you, well, of course he was. If he couldnât make the ableist public go away, the least he could do was provide you with the safest, most inclusive and loving home possible.

@chibithewitch Here's your request, sweetheart!
Sun WukongÂ
He thinks youâre the most adorable thing on this planet. He loves literally everything you do. Your food, your body, your magic, all perfect. Youâre perfect and he will not shut up about it. Itâs a little embarrassing.Â
Do not let him help you bake though. He will probably set something on fire or use salt instead of sugar or something like that. My man canât cook for shit.Â
You have to watch him because he will steal snacks as youâre making them especially if it has peaches in it.Â
Heâs seen a lot of magic but yours amazes him just like the rest of you.Â
MacaqueÂ
One of his love languages is acts of service so he appreciates literally everything you do, magic or not. The magic just makes it easier for you. Also uses his shadow magic to help you where he can.
 He can cook but hasnât tried much baking so he tends to make meals for you two when he gets the time instead of helping you in the bakery. He knows he protects you but he still feels like he doesnât help out as much as he should plus heâs just a sucker for domestic stuff.
Also steals snacks when youâre not looking as long as itâs not for work.Â
You get up early to open the bakery and heâs not usually up till midday but he helps you close out. Tends to hum you to sleep when youâre tired.Â
Azure Lion
This man is so soft for you, itâs not even funny. He just thinks youâre the most precious thing in the world. He gets up early with you to help you open up shop.Â
Heâs pretty used to magic around him so your magic doesnât faze him much. Can reach the tall shelves for you.Â
Is the only one out of these three that never eats anything that you don't expressly give him. Very willing to help you test new recipes with you. He will purr if he really likes it then gets embarrassed about purring.Â
You weigh like literally nothing to any of these three but Azure Lion is the most likely to carry you around without laughing or teasing you.
Hiii! Congrats on getting 100 followers! Your writing is so good, I enjoyed every one of them. â¤ď¸â¤ď¸ If itâs not against the rules, can I request a short story with lots of fluff in which Malleus finds out that the reader is his soulmate please!
| Notes: Hi, anon! Nope, itâs all okay! I do mostly hcs bc itâs easy but a short story from time to time is also good. So, for the soulmate plot, I got the idea of creating this whole folklore about some soulmates connecting because of a special song only they know (and youâll have to pretend here that Disney didnât created âOnce Upon a Dreamâ in 1959 lol The first part is the classic one and the second is based on Celestial Bunnyâs translation of the Japanese 2Âş paragraph ver (from that one Malleus video everybody watched, link in the special notes). But the very last part is a little adaptation I made. It might seem rushed in some parts bc I actually lost the original by accident and had to rewrite it again but I tried my best to do something really sweet and funny in some parts. Hope you like it! Thanks for the request <3 |
Malleus Draconia x gender neutral reader / soulmates / song connection / scenario / fluff / 2520 words / use of âyouâ pronouns
Cherryâs Harvesting event đ Masterlist
Malleus was excited that afternoon to meet you at the Ramshackle. He was humming to himself while walking, not singing the lyrics but producing a serene, good measured melody. For all the long centuries of his existence, this particular song has always been present within him in some way.Â
Malleus wondered if he himself created the melody and lyrics alone because he had never heard anything like it anywhere else.
It was almost always in the back of his mind, like a protective spell. Malleus hummed it wistfully when he was feeling down and more serene when he was happy. And talking to you always made him happy â in a special, inexplicable way.
He had felt this way since he first met you in the middle of the night among the ruins of that poor dormitory forgotten by Crowley and the world, with the exception of Malleus and the ghosts. From the first glance, something in his heart felt different. More complete. There weren't enough words to describe that feeling.
It was as if he spent his whole life without his horns, essential parts of his nature. However, upon your arrival, he would have felt the horns finally crown his head.Â
But it was still a very weak metaphor for his feelings. Perhaps, it should be said that it was like realizing that he was missing something that he didn't even know he had missed. Complicated, yes, but a little more truthful and similar.Â
Not that this was the time to think about those things.Â
You had promised to walk with Malleus that night to see one of the school towers that had ancient gargoyles reminiscent of guardians from the Valley of Thorns. He was super excited to show you this and you were very interested in finding out more about the history of that world â and spending more time with Malleus, of course.
Not that he realized that last part. Malleus could see that you, unlike the others, didnât run away from him and enjoyed his company in a very special way, but he wasnât sure of the depth of your feelings. Which made him strangely sad.Â
Even though Malleus said to himself that he would be satisfied if you were just friends, he felt a painful twinge every time he said that. It hurted like being pricked by a needle. Small and treacherous poisoned needle of a light lie, leading him into a fatal delusion. A heavy sleep of fleeting dreams.
âI know you, I walked with you once in a dream...!â
Malleus stopped at the door of the Ramshackle, not having noticed that he had walked so automatically down the stone staircase, lost in thought. Your sweet voice awakened him.Â
âI know you, that look in your eyes is so familiar a gleam!â
But it wasn't just for your melodious voice and yes, for the lyrics you sang. A song that Malleus knew so well, the very one he had been humming before he arrived. The question was: why did you know the song he created?
âAnd I know, it's true that visions are seldom all they seem, but if I know you...!â
âI know what youâll do... you will love me at once, the way you did once upon a dream.â
You got scared, letting the broom with whom you danced fall from your hands. While you sang your verse, the door had been quietly opened and Malleus entered uninvited â though he liked to be received by you, his kind and hospitable friend.Â
But, finally, he finished the song that was accompanying your cleaning of the room.
Malleus's voice was deep and strong, having turned the cheerful melody into something more sober and serious, almost mirroring his expression at that moment. You didn't know why Malleus was staring at you steadily, as if seeking in you the solution of a mystery.Â
Although it was you who should face him like that because he was the one who sang a song that only you knew! Many thoughts agitated your mind, so many that you ended up shaking your head to pull yourself together and pick up the poor broom again.Â
âYou know that song, Tsunotaro?,â you asked, feeling strange. You tried to smile to ease the tension.
âI've known it for as long as I can remember. Every verse, every note,â Malleus went from serious to apprehensive, starting to walk across the wooden floor that was clean of any dust and cobwebs that had fallen from the ceiling. âHow do you know it, child of Man?â
âI don't know... I have also known how to sing it since I was a child. Although I never really heard it anywhere.â
You took another fright when Malleus suddenly approached you, looking directly into your eyes. You might not have the same hesitation as other people about him, but in a way, you didn't blame them for feeling disturbed by Malleusâ intimidating presence. Even more so when he squeezed his eyelids, considering what to do at that moment while watching you.
âWe have no choice. We need to search for Lilia.â
âW-weren't we going to see gargoyles?,â you tried to remind him of the original appointment. âWhat's wrong with us knowing the same song? It's just a coincidence, Tsunotaro. Don't need to be so stressed about it.â
Malleus stopped for a moment to laugh softly, which was a relief because his heart was beating fast like a thunderstorm. In fact, you even heard the faint noise of rain suddenly falling outside. That's what got you worried.Â
Malleusâs mood always had strange effects on the weather and days before, he had just helped fix the roof leaks. You thought he was angry, which would make the rain heavier and bring your poor house down. But you were worried for nothing â Malleus didnât realize that he had given you the wrong impression.
He was happy. Partly. It would only depend on you to make his joy last longer. Malleus was really feeling stunned by those emotions. What you thought had been anger and indignation were, in fact, agitation and confusion. He himself didnât know what to express at that moment.
But when he held out his hand to you â which you accepted promptly, without hesitation â Malleus just said:
âThere are no coincidencesâŚâ
For the first time, Malleus said your name.
And so, with a slight swirl of his hand, green fireflies appeared around you and suddenly, you two were no longer there. Grim woke up from his sleep on the couch, only seeing a light green magic in the place where you previously stood facing Malleus. But he just shrugged his shoulders and went back to sleep peacefully.
                            đ¸
Lilia didn't know whether to laugh or cry at the situation. He must have expected something strange when a gentle thunder strike announced Malleusâs arrival in Diasomnia, bringing you by the hand â and your expression as someone who never magically teleported was priceless. But you seemed anxious about something.
Or Malleus was anxious and you were just being infected by that feeling. What happened was that Malleus snatched Lilia from the kitchen â to everybodyâs general joy â and led him to his room, where they could talk alone on that important topic.
Once the situation was explained, you didn't have much else to do other than wait for that old fairy to pour a little wisdom and hope into that strange coincidence. But yet Lilia wanted to have a little fun.
âI don't know if I understood it very well. Can you sing that song for me?,â he asked, giving a pointy smile.
You could feel Malleus inflame his nostrils next to you, a bit of smoke escaping. He must have sensed that his mentor wasn't taking any of that seriously. And you just wanted someone to explain what was the big deal in all of that.Â
Yes, it was strange just the two of you knowing an oddly specific song word for word but, you had seen strange and absurd enough things to be alarmed by something like that.Â
âDo you want it from the beginning?,â you asked.
âOh, does it have a second chorus?â
âYes,â you both answered at the same time, looking at each other shortly after.
Lilia stifled a laugh with his hand.
âPlease... lovebirds.â
Those words made your heart miss a beat. You stared at Lilia and his smirk, not knowing how to react. All this time you tried to take your feelings calmly and subtly, living each day with Malleus as if in a fairytale slowly turning page by page.
But, apparently, you werenât as subtle as you imagined. Malleus also seemed to give Lilia a look, censoring him. Then you took a deep breath, pulling yourselves together. Malleus sang first and out of pure habit, you moved your lips accompanying the verses engraved so firmly in your memory:
âIn your transparent eyes, I became my âtrue selfâ after we met,â you immediately continued and Malleus recognized your words. âIf I love with a free heart, the pain also disappears...â
You turned to each other, more amazed by the way the melody didnât change and your hearts led you to sing the same thing.
âI must become strong to protect... youâŚ! My precious dream.â
âLike once upon a dream,â you said without taking your eyes off Malleus.
Was it all real? Was it happening right before your eyes? You breathed some air to ask Malleus a question, but Lilia interrupted you.
âHow beautiful are soulmates! An old acquaintance told me about it a long time ago but I never thought I would live long enough to witness it with my own eyes,â he got up from his chair, floating around the two of you.
âS-soulmates?,â you repeated, surprise.
âNever heard of it, little human?â
âOh, we have something like that in our world, but it's just to say that two people seem âperfectâ for each otherâŚâ
âWell, here it is something much more complex! Malleus, you didn't explain anything to your friend?,â Lilia inquired with another wide grin.
Malleus moved away from you, suddenly losing all his excitement. Worried about him, you followed him to the second window of the room that was right next to a dragon made of stone. The sky was dark, laden with gray rain clouds that grew stronger as the painful minutes passed by.
You gently touched Malleusâs shoulder, which made his gaze pass from the melancholy world outside back to you.Â
âI feel like you want to tell me something,â you said, having sounded as docile as possible to make him open up comfortably. âIs it... about this soulmate-thing?â
â If I tell you... you will cease to be my friend and will turn away from me, disgusted with your cruel fate. This curse that fell on you without you even knowing.â
âI'm not leaving, Malleus. I promise.â
You held his hand, your gaze resolute and determined. Malleus was surprised, it was the first time you called him by name. If only you wanted to call him that for the rest of your lives. Even if you pass away someday, Malleus would echo your words in his mind as if spoken for the first time.
Could he dream about it? Maybe he shouldn't. You deserved so much more than the future of stones and thorns he could offer.
âIn truth, I really owe you an explanation,â Malleus sighed. Thunder sounded in the distance, but your eyes didn't leave him. âThe myth of soulmates was once very famous a millennium ago but, over the centuries, its fame has been diminishing and today many cultures understand it differently or no longer recognize it at all. In the Valley of Thorns, the ancient tale says that two souls are linked by a song. A song that only they know and have never told anyone.â
âWhere have I seen this before?,â Lilia playfully muttered.
âThese two people can sing either way, but the lyrics will remain the same. If they create more stanzas, nothing will change. In a mystical way, the other soul will have that same inspiration. In some versions of the most popular fairytale in the valley of the fairies, a princess found her prince with a song they knew together.â
You didnât interrupt Malleus at any time, listening to him attentively and respectfully. Nothing could take away your focus at that moment.Â
âWhich means: we're both soulmates,â Malleus finished.
âYou say it like it's something badâŚâ
It was a loud thought you ended up saying, catching Malleusâs attention immediately. He stared at you, confused.
âBut it's not...? For you? What would make you happy to be stuck from the eternity of time to someone like me?,â he asked.
âJust talk to him,â Lilia said, more serious now while softly massaging your shoulders. âI'll leave you two alone.â
And so, Lilia disappeared. You had no choice but to face Malleus and confess your feelings, especially when it was obvious that he had no hope that you would love him back. Which wasn't true.
âMalleus, finding out that you are my soulmate does make me happy,â you said, getting a surprised look from him. âIf there is anyone in this vast world who would leave me jumping with joy that we are connected forever... it would be you. Always you. I love you, Malleus, and there are no powerful forces in this world that can tear us apart.â
âIt takes a lot of courage to say that... my love,â Malleus couldn't help but smile, holding your face gently. âEven though the future is treacherous, I am happy to know that I have you by my side. I think now I understand what I felt I was missing all this time.â
âI know how you feel. I also know that I may not be able to do anything fantastic, but I hope my simplicity is enough.â
âIt is, dear. Always was.â
You smiled, tilting your head to feel Malleusâs hand on the side of your face. His skin was cold but strangely comforting. Perhaps because it is the most concrete version of any dream you have dreamed of you being together.Â
The song you shared has always been there in your mind, a unique melody like Malleusâs love. And now, you could sing it together. It was a feeling of joy beyond all comprehension.
âIs something going on?â
âTHE YOUNG MASTER IS TRAPPED WITH THAT HUMAN!,â Sebek's voice echoed behind the door, scaring both of you.
âThey just proposed to each other, Silver... and I would very much like them to finally give a kiss of true love!,â Lilia emphasized the last sentence, trying to feign subtlety.
âLike in fairy talesâŚâÂ
Silverâs calm comment made you laugh. You just couldnât help it. You looked at Malleus and he smiled too, a little embarrassed and anxious. He would pick on those three for interrupting your private moment â unless you could improve his mood with that expected sweet, wonderful kiss that only soulmates can exchange.Â
For the first time, Malleus forgot about the gargoyles he wanted to show you that night.
| Special Notes: Malleus as that one video âmale coverâ of Once Upon a Dream from the Maleficent movie, jap version. |
the gimmick blogs are like tumblrâs rogue gallery. yes weâve got some heroes, yes weâve got some villains, but more importantly if you look over here you will see some freak who devotes all their time to counting the number of âtâsâ in a post
the fact that we only have âherculean taskâ and âsisyphean taskâ feels so limiting. so hereâs a few more tasks for your repertoire
icarian task: when you have a task you know youâre going to fail at anyways, so why not have some fun with it before it all comes crashing down
cassandrean task: when you have to deal with people you KNOW wonât listen to you, despite having accurate information, and having to watch them fumble about when you told them the solution from the start (most often witnessed in customer service)
feel free to chime in i ran out of ideas much faster than i anticipated
ok this might sound like a dumb request but i thought it would be funny so reader is married to bakugou and you go to his agency and the new receptionist is mean to you and bakugou goes up to the receptionist and they are like âwhat a bitchâ and bakugou just goes âthat was my wifeâ
pairing: pro hero!bakugou katsuki x female!reader
authorâs note: give me pro hero bakugou or give me death. lolol. thank you for the request! it wasnât dumb at all, i found it hilarious and fun to write. ^-^ plus, PRO HERO BAKUGOU. what more can one need? xx sofia
[coming up next: secretary/manager!reader request bc that trope owns me]
âDonât tell me that idiot forgot his lunch againâŚâ
Grumbling under your breath, you sighed as you spotted his red bento box sitting in the refrigerator. It was right next to his favorite water bottle with a sticky note in your handwriting that read, âDONâT FORGET YOUR LUNCH, BAKA xoxoâ.
And yet, there it was. Neglected in the fridge.
