An Actress life - Chapter 1
A/N: please excuse this bc I wrote this story like two years ago, so it might be different to the works I write now lol sksksks maybe you still enjoy it.
PS: this was my first fan fiction ever!!!
Chapter one
word count: 1,252 words
It is the last day on set of the tv show you have played in for 7 years. You're a bit sad about that, that it has ended. But you're also happy, because the last 3 years weren't that easy. The crew sucked sometimes and the most members of the cast didn't understand any jokes, they were serious about everything all the time. You didn't enjoy going to work, you always thought being an actress would be rather cool, it is, but at this set you haven't felt like that. This tv show has showed you the negative aspects of being an actress. On the other hand you are thankful for this time, because of this show you met your best friend Gen.
You know her since the show has started that means for seven years and you are thankful that you are allowed to call her your best friend. She is so adorable and you love her. And because of you she is married to Jared Padalecki, why because of you? Because in 2009 you filmed 'Friday the 13th' with him, although you were in your show you managed doing both. So that you and Jared worked together, got along very well and hung around a lot, you introduced the two with each other. One day you took Gen to a bar, where Jared and other people from the crew and cast were. They also got along quickly and went on dates but maybe you weren't the single reason why they've married.
Gen got a small part in Supernatural where Jared has a main part as Sam Winchester. You remember like it was yesterday when they have called her, in this moment you were sitting in a tiny coffee shop, talking about everything and then she got this call. She screamed so loudly, everyone was looking at you like you two would be crazy. But yeah that's how they met first, because of you. When they married you were her maid of honour, you felt honoured, since you two didn't know each other rather long when she chose you. Their wedding was a dream, everything seemed perfect. She looked amazing, indescribable more than words can say.
Okay, enough story telling of your best friend's life. Your love life isn't that exciting right now you are single for two years, because your ex boyfriend has cheated on you when you were shooting for your tv show. That has happened 1 year after Gen and Jared's wedding. You two were 6 months in a relationship, so it was not that hard, like the relationship you had before. Enough of your past life. Right now you are in your hometown Austin to visit your parents, you haven't seen them for weeks even months. Your mum told you to visit her and your stepfather, because some of your family from Poland is there and you have missed them a lot.
You knock at the door and your mum opens it, full of happiness to see you, you breath out of relief, because you thought she would be really angry with you. You go through the door to say hello to the rest of your family. You all sit down to the table where the food is already waiting for all of you. Polish food. You love it. You eat one bite and you feel like you are in heaven, because it tastes so good. Then you suddenly get a call from your manager Edward Swensen. "Sorry guys excuse me for a minute."
Your mum looks annoyed at you, what you totally understand. You go to the kitchen and pick up. "Hey Y/N/N, sorry for interrupting your family time, but I have an amazing job offer for you." "What job, Ed?" "Eric Kripke called this morning, the producer of Supernatural." "Ed I know, who Eric Kripke is. Just keep going." "Okay, okay. They want you as a main part." Silence. You know, your ex-boyfriend Jensen has also a main part in this show.
"Wow. That's amazing, what kind of role?" "A love interest of Dean." You think Oh shit, how are you going to survive this? Just be professional. "When do I have to answer?" "Right now, Y/N/N." "Well, I'm not quite sure about that." "Y/N Y/L/N are you kidding? This is a big opportunity." "It's not that, I would take it if my ex-boyfriend wouldn't be Dean." "Oh shit, I totally forgot about that." "But I'm looking forward and I'll take it." "So sorry to tell you this, but the meeting will be tomorrow. In Vancouver." "Seriously?" "Yeah, I'm so sorry."
You are so annoyed, you just have arrived and tomorrow you gonna leave for, you don't know how long. "When will the flight be?" "10 am. I'll send you the ticket via email." "Thank you." "See you tomorrow then, Y/N." "Bye, Ed." You feel like you have to tell your bestie, so you call Gen but she doesn't pick up. You can understand, she is busy with Tom and her second pregnancy. You already have forgotten about Jensen that he plays Dean.
You have to leave in less than 16 hours. "Y/N/N what's going on?" Your cousin asks. "I have a new job, for which I have to leave at 8am because my flight will be at 10am tomorrow. " Your mum is looking angry at you. "I am happy for you but you have just arrived." Your sister says. "I know, I am so so-" Your mum interrupts you "Are you kidding me?" She asks angrily but then her anger turns to happiness. She comes to you and hugs you. "I am so proud of you, Y/N/N." She whispers into your ear.
Tears come to your eyes, because you are so thankful for your family, that they always support you. "Thank you guys, but I have to call Gen again. And if she doesn't pick up, I will visit her." "Sure, greet her from us." "Of course." You go to the living and try to call her again but she doesn't pick up again, so you decide to go to her house.
15 minutes later, you arrive at her house and ring the door bell. A few seconds later she opens the door in amazement. "Hey, what are you doing here? I thought you are with your family today." She hugs you and gestures you to come in. "I thought that too. I was calling you, but you didn't pick up. Then I decided to come over." "I don't even know where my phone is." She says laughing. "It's fine, I know you're busy. I have some amazing news." You say in excitement.
You sit down on their couch. "Start, I wanna know." "I'm gonna have a main part in Supernatural." "Wow. That's amazing, we have to tell Jared." "Jared." She yells. Jared comes to the living room, you two hug each other.
"Y/N/N, what are you doing here?" He asks with a smile. "Let me introduce you to your new colleague." Gen says proud and points at you.
"No way!" He says happily.

Levi walks into my office with Erwin
"Eonni I have some good news" Levi says

"Armin Has A huge Crush on you" Levi says
I squeal so loudly Erwin covers his ears
"How did you find out Oppa" I ask after I stop squealing
"I heard him and his friends talking about it" Levi says
I run and hug Levi and kiss him (In a brother sister sort of way but still on the lips)

"He will be mine soon I know it" I say
Levi's POV:
"So you like a caddett" Oluo asks Avanna
"Why do you care you perverted ass bitch" Avanna says

"Okay Captain" Oluo says
"Good you don't wanna awaken the beast" I say knowing he will try
"The beast id that Avanna" Oluo asks
"Yes" I say
"Mhm" Oluo says
-1 hour later-
Me and Avanna are walking and we walk up to the tree where The caddetts were and also Oluo and Petra
"hey Avanna Guess what" Oluo says
"What" Avanna says
"Armin here Likes you" Oluo says
Armin blushes and stutters "w-what uh-um"
"I know" Avanna states coldly with a glint of lust in her eyes
Armin catches his breath and blushes harder
"Hm" Oluo
Oluo smirks and walks off
Avanna rolls her eyes
"I-I unders-stand if you d-don't l-like me b-b-back" Armin stutters
"One sec I'll be right back" Avanna says winking at Armin
"I'll be back I need to keep her from killing him" I say following Avanna
"where'd that bastard go" Avanna asks
"Come on lets go back to the hill" I say
Armin's POV:
"Hey Armin I need your permission to do a special prank on Captain Avanna" Oluo says
"Um sure but why do you need my permission" I ask
"Beacause it involves you" Oluo says
"Sure I guess as long as you don't hurt me" I say
"Don't worry It won't hurt" Oluo says
"Okay" I say
Levi's POV:
"There's the bastard" Avanna says storming up the hill
"Eonni don't do it" I say following the pissed off Avanna
Oluo smirks "Hai Avanna" He says
"What are you doing........DON'T YOU DARE" Avanna says sternly
"What do you mean he's not doing any thing" I say
As soon as I finished that statement Oluo kissed Armin
Avanna growls silently only I heard it
Oluo pulled away laughed and walked away
Armin stands there with a look of terror
"I never thought oluo was gay" Eren says
"He's not, he's a bastard" Avanna growls
"Vann Vann" I say warningly
Avanna bounds after Oluo
"Fuck" I say running after Avanna
when I finaly found her she was beating Oluo's ass into the ground
I rip Avanna off him looking at Oluo's bloody body
"Avanna really" I ask
"He kissed my Armin, you hear me MY ARMIN, that bastard" Avanna says so demonic I could swear she grew invisable devil horns
"I know Avanna, but you have to listen to me you can't do this no more heal him right now" I say
I set Avanna down and she heals Oluo enough so he will live and be able to move around
"There" Avanna says spitefully
"Thank you, I know your mad but you can't do this, okay" I ask and say
"Okay Oppa" Avanna says sadly and sorrowly
"Okay" I say
Armin's POV:
When Avanna and Captain Levi come back up the hill I expected her to punch me Because I liked her but insted
she asked "Are you okay I know someone of your own gender kissing you is tramatising, oorr Oluo kissing you, since you had both happen are you okay"
"Yeah i'm fine a little shocked but fine, he said he wanted to do a special prank on you I didn't know what that meant" I say
"Okay" Avanna says she careses my face with her hand and backs up to give me room
I blush slightly at her touch
"Are you sure your okay" Levi asks
"Yes sir" I mumble
"Okay if you say so" Levi says
"I do sir" I say
"Oluo would be crazy to try to do that again" Levi says glancing at Avanna
"What did she do" Eren asks looking at Avanna

Avanna and Armin kiss
-The End-
I saw your humans are space orcs post and wanted to ask a question
Since, generally, humans are regarded as friendly pack creatures, what do you think aliens would think of humans who kill their own family members to protect themselves/others?
I ask this cause I was thinking about all those stories about women in the past who killed their abusive husbands and fathers to protect themselves and their siblings and or children.
That's a really serious question and topic, but it would no doubt come up eventually if aliens were to be watching and observing the human race. I can try my best to come up with a scenario where that might come up.
⚠️ DISCLAIMER ⚠️ I am in no way, shape, or form claiming to be an expert on this topic, or saying this is what happens in most scenarios! I am doing my best to think of a way that this interaction might go for the sake of storytelling and nothing more. Again, I am not an expert, and I may make mistakes or say something that may be completely wrong. Thank you for understanding.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The alien captain walks their rounds of his ship, making sure everything is running smoothly and greeting his crew mates and companions as he walks by. As he exits the bridge of the ship and closes the doors behind him, he spots their human crew member, a female of their species and the mechanic of the ship, coming from the direction of the engine room. The captain notices that she is not wearing her uniform correctly. The pants of the uniform are on normally, but at the waist, the rest of the uniform is wrapped tightly around her hips. The sleeves of the uniform are tied together in the front of her body, holding it in place. On the backside, the rest of the upper half of the uniform is hanging loosely, reaching down to her lower thighs.
This is a normal occurrence for this human. Her body temperature apparently rises up much faster than most of her species when in warmer environments and she tends to sweat a lot heavier than most of her kind as well. In order to regulate her temperature more and keep as cool as possible, she wears her uniform like this, with a thin white undershirt without sleeves and thin straps across her shoulders underneath of it. This often leads to oil, dirt, grime, and other substances covering her exposed skin. The female human normally takes her showers after doing maintenance work anyways, so it strangely doesn't seem to affect her as much as the captain would think. It's like she barely even notices it's there most of the time.
The captain calls out to the human to get her attention. "Heading to your quarters for a shower, human Kira?" He asked, a friendly smile on his face.
"Howdy, Captain." She says, exhaustion evident in her voice. "That engine was real rowdy today. It wouldn’t play nice with me, kinda felt like I was tryin’ to wrangle a wild bronco!"
The captain nods. He'd gotten used to Kira's accent and mannerisms over the 3 years she'd been on his ship. She is from the south part of her country, back on planet Earth. Her accent is extremely different but apparently most common compared to the other humans that live there. "I see. Is it cause for concern?"
Kira shook her head. "Aww, don’t worry 'bout all that, Captain! She’s as healthy as a horse and rarin’ to go. I made certain to check and recheck everything real good—levels are just fine, and she’s got a heap of fuel. That oughta get us to Mineora just fine." Kira smiled as she said this.
The captain chuckled. He started to love how the human referred to the engine and certain parts of the ship as "she". It's happened on multiple occasions now, and he remembers that a previous mechanic they had on the ship did the same thing. According to both of them, humans do this very often in regard to the vehicles that they build and work on.
"This is fantastic news, thank you human Kira." The captain said, smiling once more.
As Kira returned the smile and they both turned to go about their business, the captain noticed something on the human's left arm that stood out to him.
"That looks like a particularly rough oil stain, human Kira." He commented, noticing fifteen thick black lines close together on the human's forearm. "Better scrub extra hard to get it off." He chuckled softly, trying to joke with the human mechanic.
The human stopped to look at what the captain was referring to. "Oh, this?" She asked, moving her arm to look at the lines and moving it up a bit for the captain to see better. "This ain't oil or dirt, Captain. It's a tattoo. I’ve had it for a good while now. I'm mighty surprised you just now noticed it."
The captain was a bit shocked and squinted his eyes to get a better look at the marks. "By the goddess of space herself, you're right. I'm incredibly sorry. Disregard my poor attempt at a joke."
The human waved it off. "Don’t worry ‘bout a thing. I’m covered in grease and grime most of the time, so I get why you’d think it’s just another mark on my skin."
The captain nods, thinking of something he was told once regarding human tattoos. "I've been told before that humans get tattoos to symbolize something. Is there any particular reason for those lines?"
Suddenly, the human's face grew dark. As if a shadow had passed over her head. A troubled look grew on her face, like she was thinking on something that she didn't find very pleasant.
"Human Kira?" He asked, his concern for his crew mate growing rapidly. "Are you alright? Are you sick? Why do you look like that?"
She shakes her head. "Naw, I’m good, Captain." Her voice was softer and she spoke more slowly. "It's just...I ain't too keen on thinkin' 'bout that."
The captain realizes he may have said something that caused her to be acting this way. "I am truly sorry, human Kira. I did not mean to bring up something so horrible for you. Disregard that question as well. I am seemingly making quite a few errors today..."
The human shook her head. "Nah, don’t you worry 'bout that. It’s all good. I get it, you’re just tryin’ to satisfy your curiosity. I know you been tryin’ to wrap your head 'round humans, so it’s only natural you’d ask that." She smiled softly as she said this, but then her face grew dark again.
"I’ll tell ya ‘bout it." She says after a slight moment of silence.
"You really don't have to, human Kira." The captain said hurriedly. "If it bothers you so much, I don't wish to inflict further discomfort on you."
The human sat down on one of the chairs nearby in the adjacent break room. The captain followed, his concern still evident on his face, wanting to ensure that she was alright.
The female human looked up at her captain, her auburn eyes distant and cloudy, not at all seemingly present in where they were. As if she were in another place entirely. The shadow across her face was still present, only adding to the distance in the human's eyes.
"Ya know I'm on yer ship 'cause of my criminal record, right?" Kira asked.
The captain nods. "Correct. Though I must say, you haven't had any issues to speak of ever since you stepped on to my ship. It makes me question why you ever had a criminal record in the first place."
Kira scoffed. "I ain't had no reason to do nothin' that'd get me in trouble. Though I gotta admit, I don’t know much ‘bout the laws out here in space, so who really knows?"
The captain smiles softly. "I will be sure to let Grimmplar know you require that knowledge. I shall mention it to him later on, however. You were saying?"
Kira nods. "Anyways, back on Earth, 'fore y’all even made contact with us humans, I didn’t have a very pleasant life, I reckon. I grew up on my daddy’s farm, and we was right poor. Mostly ‘cause of Daddy’s drinkin’ and gamblin’ problems. He’d spend most all our money on booze, and when it came time to plantin’ seeds and we didn’t have the cash we needed, he’d go off and gamble it away to get more. Mama passed away after havin’ my little brother, ‘round the time I was 8. Daddy was a handful even ‘fore Mama died, but he got so much worse afterwards."
"He'd always say that gamblin' was just a way to get more cash for seeds, crops, and all that jazz. But I knew better. I'd be stuck at home with my brother, takin' care of him and cleanin' up the place, makin' sure everything was nice and tidy-like. Time and time again, he’d roll back home with nothin', and we'd have to ask our neighbors to lend us their seeds. And if we managed to grow somethin’ and wanted to sell it, we’d have to give our neighbors 50% of the profits since it was their seeds. During that time, Daddy got a bit better, but good grief, was he strict. If I slipped up on even the smallest thing during the season, he'd be right there to whip the livin’ daylights outta me and make me work twice as hard to make up for it. All the while he was inside watchin' football and drinkin' til he passed out. I kept my brother out in the shade, always stickin’ close by, tryin' to keep him away from Daddy."
"After a bit, our neighbors stopped givin' us their seeds. Said we was relyin' on 'em too much an' it was a waste of good seeds. So Daddy had to go back to gamblin' fer more cash to keep his drinkin' up. By then, it weren't even fer the crops, an' it ain't never been 'bout takin' care of me or my brother from the start."
"Well, after I grew up a bit, reckon I was 'round 18, I started realizin' that he wasn't treatin' us right at all. Used to think it was just how he was raisin' us, and he’d say it was buildin' character, gettin' us ready for the real world. But after takin' care of the house, cleanin' up everyone else's messes, and tendin' to the crops only to barely scrape by year after year—nearly a decade by then—I just wanted it all to end. I needed to break Daddy's hold on my brother and me, but I didn’t wanna do it just for my own sake. Felt like I needed to give my brother a better shot at life, a new pace instead of livin' in that hellhole."
"So, one night while Daddy was passed out in his chair like usual, I snuck into his room and grabbed the revolver he kept hidin' in the bottom drawer of his nightstand. Not much of a secret spot, I reckon anyone coulda got their hands on it if they looked hard enough. But I checked to see if it was loaded, crept downstairs, and stood in front of the TV, facin' Daddy, sound asleep and none the wiser."
Kira took a shaky breath and closed her eyes. Then she opened them and continued. "I hesitated at first, ya know? My head was just buzzin’ with all kinds of thoughts and doubts. Was I really fixin’ to take a life? And if I’m honest, this was Daddy we’re talkin’ about. Sure, he’d done some downright terrible things to my brother and me over the years, but did he really deserve to meet his end?"
"After a few moments I shook those thoughts off, fueled by hatred and anger of a decade of abuse and torment, I raised my arm holding the revolver, aimed, and fired at Daddy. Shot him right in the head. He died instantly, of course. Barely any human can survive a bullet to the head at almost point-blank range."
"After I stared at Daddy's corpse for a few minutes, it dawned on me what I'd done. I chucked the revolver aside and sprinted upstairs. I barreled into mine and my brother's room, scooped him up, and grabbed the bags I had packed the day before. We hightailed it outta that house and never glanced back."
"A few days later, the cops found us hidin’ under a bridge over in the next town. The folks in the neighborhood called ‘em that night after hearin’ a gunshot and said they saw someone skedaddlin’ from the scene. When they figured out my brother and I was missin’, they started lookin’ for us. They cuffed me and took my brother to an orphanage. That was the last time I ever laid eyes on him."
Kira took yet another shaky breath and blinked back a tear. She shook her head and looked up at her captain. "Next day, they put me on trial, charged for Daddy’s murder. I ended up locked up for 15 years. Each of them lines there? That’s a year behind bars, for takin’ out the one who was a real threat to us and done us wrong for years. My only regret? Not bein’ able to take care of my brother better and not tellin’ him I’m sorry for makin’ us orphans and takin' Daddy's life."
The tears in Kira's eyes were more visible now, threatening to fall off of the edges of her eyes. She grabbed a hankerchief from the pocket of her uniform and dried her eyes. The captain secretly hoped that it was a different hankerchief than the one that the human female would use while working. But that would be a different issue to discuss later.
"Forgive my bluntness, human Kira," The captain said softly. "But I was not aware that humans could even...act in that manner. I initially thought that you humans were friendly pack creatures based on my previous understandings and research. This is most shocking news."
Kira gives her captain a small smirk. "Well, usually we’re more or less friendly-like. But you see, the human mind’s as fragile as it is strong, Captain. There’s plenty of stories out there like mine. Some folks got it worse, and maybe others ain’t sufferin’ as bad, but their stories still matter. Folks can be greedy, mean, and downright cruel. But then there’s them who can be kind, sweet, and caring too. It’s kinda like a balance, ya know? You never really know what someone else is dealin’ with, or what kinda thoughts they got rattlin’ around in their head."
The captain ponders this new information as Kira continues. "You know, when folks come together, we can make some downright amazing things happen and face just about anythin’ that comes our way. You’ve seen it yourself, Captain. But, now hold on, there’s another side to that coin. When we’re all alone, starin’ down an enemy or some kinda threat, we can feel real small, backed into a corner, and fear just takes over. That’s when our survival instincts kick in. That’s where the saying ‘fight or flight’ comes from. Our instincts say we gotta either fight our way outta the mess to make it through, or take off and save our hides for another day. And them instincts can drive us to do things we wouldn’t normally do when we’re thinkin’ straight, like hurtin’ someone. Even the ones we hold dear..." Kira trails off a bit.
The captain nods in understanding. "I see. This is most intriguing. Though I must apologize for pressing you with my questions when you were obviously not in a positive mindset."
Kira waves her captain off. "No worries, Captain. That was more'n 18 years ago. I'm 36 now, been aboard yer ship for the last 3 years. Had plenty of time to think back on things sittin' in that prison for 15 long years. It ain't exactly fun, but it's just a distant memory these days."
The human female turns, looking out the wide rectangular windows of the break room. She remains in that position for a few minutes. Then she turns back to face her captain.
"I sure do wish I could see my brother again. I wonder where he's at...hope he’s doin’ fine." She says softly.
The captain stands. "I am sure that he is alright, human Kira. You freed the both of you from your father's horrendous treatment and gave the both of you another chance at life. You did what you had to, given the situation and the information you've provided me."
He calmly walks up behind her and gently puts his hand on her shoulder. "I assure you, wherever your brother is, I am sure that he will be thankful for what you did for the both of you."
Kira nods, turning around to look back out the windows at the vast space outside of the ship. The stars shining brightly, the distant planets glowing dimly from the sun's light. She'll see her brother again. One day.

Thank you Anon for that ask! Loved thinking about this interaction and I spent the entire day thinking on this. I will admit, I didn't intend on turning this into an entire story, but at the same time I've always wanted to write a story of my own, so this gave me a fantastic excuse to write this out! Ended up giving the human, Kira, an entire backstory for this, too!
Please let me know if you liked this! I feel like I did okay, but I know for sure that I'm not a professional author and definitely didn't do an exceptional job. If you have any comments or suggestions, please don't hesitate to let me know!
Connected: prologue
The three friends cheered as their wine glasses clank together, as they celebrate their college graduation. Memories of late night study session, social gatherings parties, and even their first memory of becoming room mates.
They had fun that night but they knew that it wouldn’t last. Each graduate will be leaving tomorrow scattering to each corner of the US to pursue their career goals: Mario as a Gym Trainer and manager, Daniel as English and Spanish teacher, and Gus as a surgeon.
They all said their goodbyes that evening promising to keep in touch. Started of as a daily Zoom, then once a week, then months, and eventually 6 years has passed. Life happens and they eventually grew apart... until one faithful weekend when fates aligned to help these three rekindle their friendship and even make it steonger than ever.
Reunited (part 1)
Levi Ackerman x reader
You knew Levi before he was in Scout Regiment(Wings of Freedom). You knew him when he was part of the underground city. You where part of his friend group till your mother remarried then you left to move in Wall Rose specifically the Trost District. You missed him the whole time you where away from him. You’ve always had a crush on him but sadly he only thought of you as a little sister since you where a couple years younger. You have heard about the Levi squad and you dreamed of a day you could join his squad.
Time skip
Journal entry number 100~ I finally joined the Cadet Corps and in turn met my new friends Eren Jaeger,Mikasa Ackermann,Marco Bolt, Conny Springer,Jean Kirschtein,Sasha Braus,and Armin Arlet. I have other acquaintances but they weren’t really my so called friends. My closes friend is Sasha we do everything together (even her punishment).
“Hey Y/N you know you dont have to work so hard you got the number one spot.” said Eren.
“ I know Eren, but I want to join the Levi Squad he’s the best of the best.” You said.
“ Why do you wanna join that squad so bad its basically a death sentence” Conny said.
“ You wouldn’t understand. You want to join the military police!” You snapped.
“Actually I wanna join the scout regiment.” Conny said.
Everyone’s eyes widened at his words. You kinda zoned out thinking about mean others changed their and why. You knew the others where talking but didn’t really hear anything. You felt bad for snapping but you’re tired of people asking why you want to join the Levi Squad. Before you could apologize Sasha came up to us and pulled out a giant piece of meat she stole from the officers pantry. Everyone exploded telling her that she’s crazy and needs to return it. You laughed at Sasha explaining to the others about what we could do with it. Everyone calmed down after awhile. Then all of a sudden the colossal titan showed up with a flash of lighting.The steam knocked us all of the wall but we used our ODM gear to stop ourselves. You looked up in aww and horror but you knew you had to kill it to prove your worth but before you could cut its neck it disappeared right in-front of your face. We all regroup and listen to Woermann give orders for us to slit into different groups. During this Jean and Eren get into an argument about fighting vs being safe inside the walls. I walkover Sasha because she looks like she’s about to faint.
“ Hey are you okie Sasha?” You asked. She looks at me with tears in her eyes and shakes her head.
“ I’m scared but I shouldn’t be I needed to be strong.” She sobbed.
“ Sasha look at me it’s ok to be scared honestly it would be scarier if you weren’t. Plus I’ll be by your side the whole time.” You said with a smile.
“ Thanks.” Sasha whispered. Before I could say you’re welcome Ian Dietrich came over to us.
“ Actually Y/N you have been specially assigned to the rear squad with Mikasa. Sorry.” He said. You looked at Sasha with an apologetic look. She just smiled and mouthed that it was ok. You nodded and left.
Time skip (Sowwy)
You couldn’t believe Eren was a titan a titan that kills others at that. You and Mikasa where in charge of protecting Eren while he was supposed to put a boulder in front of the hole, but that went sour when he attack you both. You both quickly dodged only getting a couple scratches. Ian told the both of you to retreat but ya’ll weren’t having any of it he was family. Before you could protest mire Armin showed up and told us he could handle Eren so you left to help the others. A short time later we saw a giant titan carrying a boulder on it’s shoulder the titan being Eren and he’s finally doing his job thanks to Armin.
“You must protect Eren at all cost even if it cots you your life!” Ian shouted.
You all nod and head out. While protecting Eren you see so many people getting eaten by the titans. Eeren made it though it was a win but we still have to kill the rest of the titans. You look over and see Eren still attached the the titan body. Mikasa had to cut him out and when you looked up two titans had closed in on you, but within a flash they where dead. You looked to see who it was and your heart stopped because right infront of you was Levi……
Part 2??
Ahhhhh!! It’s my very first story! I’m so excited and nervous at the same time lolol. I had a creepy stalker vamp idea the other day and here we are! I usually write stories with male vamps and female humans, but boi on boi action got the best of me this time. This is also (I think?) the first story that I don’t use actual names for the characters. I actually prefer it like this, it just adds more spookiness! Anyway, I rly hope that someone will read this and enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it! :3
Btw this story contains some explicit themes (knives, blood, stalking, etc) so make sure to check the tags before reading!
Aura
“Sup, bro!”
I can already see my two friends waving and yelling at me from a distance. I haven’t been out much lately, but they happen to be very persuasive. So here I am, running towards them, thinking I’d be late otherwise. I finally reach them, gasping for some needed fresh air. “Dude, why were you even running?” one of them decided to ask.
“I’m-Sorry-Missed-Bus-.“ I can barely breathe, but try to utter some words regardless. “Yeahhhh, whatever you say man. Anyway, you ready to take off?” Air has finally returned to my lungs and breathing seems to go smoother now. I smile at them. “Yes, let’s go.” We continue our way forward, but something makes me look back over my shoulder. Not this again… Nothing’s there, but I can’t help but look anyway. “Hey, are you okay?” My friends have walked back to see why I stopped.
“I-I’m fine. Let’s just go.” I won’t hesitate to walk away from this feeling. The same feeling I’ve been having for a month, if not more. I can’t really explain it. It’s just like some dark aura is around me all the time. But whenever I look back, it’s like it was never there in the first place. I don’t dare tell anyone about it, what if they think I’m insane or something? So, I just forget about it whenever it happens. I will have to do the same now.
*a few days later*
There’s nothing else on TV, so I decided to watch some stupid show. It’s at season 8 and I honestly have no idea what’s happening, but I’m on the verge of falling asleep anyway. My eyes get heavier by the second. I hear a loud sound coming from the kitchen. I instantly get up, any sign of sleepiness now long gone.
While my heart is rapidly beating in my chest, I quietly walk towards the kitchen and prepare for the worst. Ready to throw hands, I jump in the doorway. But there’s nothing there. I could’ve sworn that the sound was like someone was in here with me. I check every single room in the house, but to no avail. No-one seems to be here. I really need to chill down. First the weird feelings, now this. I sigh deeply. I should probably just go to sleep.
*several weeks pass by*
Heavy plastic bag full with groceries in hand, I walk back to my apartment. Grocery shopping is one of the many things I hate in life, but I need to get food one way or another. Thank god my house isn’t that far from the store. I tend to get very hesitant about going outside most of the time, but the aura hasn’t been around at all the past few days. I was a bit confused at first as to why it had stopped so sudden, but I decided to just take it by heart and go on with my life. I’m glad that I don’t have to worry anymore. Ah, I can see my apartment already. I walk a bit faster, being a little too excited about the microwavable instant meal I get to eat when I get there.
Now upstairs, I open the front door and close it behind me. I quickly walk to the kitchen and drop the heavy bag on the counter. Phew, I made it. I quickly put the meal in the microwave, being unable to wait any longer. “Guess I’ll wait for it in the living room.” I say to myself.
“What the fuck?!” Going to the living room was a terrible idea. I nearly got a heart attack, seeing that a complete stranger is sitting down on my couch. Any person in their right mind would probably get out and call for help right now. But I can’t for some reason. It’s like I’m frozen in place. “Quiet it down please, Darling. We don’t wish to alarm anyone, now do we?” the stranger calmly says.
The man still remains seated on my couch. An emotionless expression present on his face. He seems to be around mid twenties, about the same age as me. I can’t help but take an observing look at him. Pitch black hair, the brightest blue eyes, clothed in all-black. His charisma is piercing through the tense atmosphere. He seems to be totally unbothered about his presence here. I, on the other hand, am not so happy about this entire situation.
I’m not sure whether his intentions are good or bad, but I’ve got a funny feeling that he’s not here to drink a cup of coffee with me. I need some kind of protection just in case he decides to attack me. The knife! I remember having left a knife on the counter, after opening the packaging of my food. I’m thinking about what’s the best way to get to the kitchen, never losing eye contact with the stranger during the progress. Alright, just run there, grab it, and be ready to defend yourself.
I take a short sprint towards the kitchen, knife already being in my sight. I reach out to it, but something unexpected happens. The stranger, who was seated in the couch just a second ago, now stands in front of me, holding the only object I’ve got within my reach to protect myself with. “H-How…?” I look at him, being shocked out of my mind. How did he get here so fast? That’s impossible. “Oh, Darling. You disappoint me ever so much.” the stranger sighs. What could possibly disappoint him right now?
“Why are you here.” It’s more of a statement than it is a question. “I get to meet you at last, but you seem to be unhappy about that.” he responds. At last? The gears in my brain finally catch up. It was him. That feeling, the aura. It was him following me all this time. Confusion mixed with a lot of anger take over my body. “Ah, my Darling gets it now. What a beautiful sight this is.” He really needs to get rid of that stupid smile of his, or I’ll wipe it off for him. “Why? Why the fuck have you been stalking me?” I spit. A dangerous glint of anger appears in his eyes. However, I will not back up now. I want answers. “I thought that you were different.” he says, through gritted teeth. “From who?”
“The other humans.” He’s comparing me to other… ‘humans’? “You see, you wanted to grab this knife here. To ‘protect’ yourself, I presume.” He brings the object close to my throat, now obviously dominating me. I gasp when the sharp blade touches my skin ever so slightly. “But not once did you give me a sign that you wanted to grab it. The others always showed that they wanted to make a run for it. How very foolish of them.” he says with a smile. “And you’re disappointed, because…?” My comment carries a lot of sass with it, but at this point I don’t care about the consequences. The stranger didn’t seem to mind, on the contrary, it made him burst out into laughter. “You have asked the two most infamous questions. ‘Why?’ and ‘how?’. It pisses me off.” he says, while still smiling. I seriously can’t read him. He’s exceptionally happy, even though I know that he’s very angry at me.
“You never answered.” I say. The stranger finally drops the knife on the counter, but doesn’t hesitate to take a step closer to me. “This is why I like you. You’re afraid, but trying so hard not to show me.” he says. “Do you have any idea who you’re dealing with?” He grabs my chin in between his thumb and index finger and lifts it up, forcing me to look at him. His eyes, which once were a beautiful blue hue, have now turned into the most spine-chilling dark red. Not to mention, he has now bared his teeth as well, showing me 2 pointy fangs. I’d be lying if I said that he doesn’t look extremely intimidating. “You know, the movies are all wrong. We don’t coexist with you humans. We kill you without mercy.”
“Y-You’re a v-vampire…?” I can’t help but stutter, fear is taking over me at last. “Obviously.” The stranger is glowing with pride. He probably loves scaring his prey like this. “Vampires aren’t real.” The air grows even more tense than it was before, if that’s even possible. “Trust me, Darling. I am very real. I can hurt you in more ways than you can imagine.”
“Then answer me this. Why me?” I really don’t want to piss him off even more now that I know what he’s capable of, but I have to know why. “I wonder why you’re so desperate to have an answer to that question.” I gather up all my courage to respond to him. “Like you said, you can hurt me in many ways. And that’s ultimately what you’re here for, isn’t it? You’re going to kill me. So my last wish is for you to answer me.” It’s quiet for a while. He just looks at me. After what seems like an eternity, he smiles. “I see.” Is all he decides to say. The smile never disappears. I feel like what I said provoked him even more.
“You know, now that I think about it, I have a much more fun idea in mind.” My unpleasant gut feeling seems to have been proven right. “Sorry, Darling. This is going to hurt.” I can’t say or do anything, or he has already taken yet another step towards me. He leans my head back and buries his fangs deep inside my neck. His actions are quick and eager.
I try to get him off me, but his grasp on me is too strong. These powers are definitely something inhuman. “Ngh!” Sounds of pure agony escape my mouth. A huge amount of blood is getting sucked out of my body. I can feel that I’m staring to lose consciousness. I reach for the knife on the counter, but it again fails to protect me. The man violently grabs my wrist to prevent me from harming him, and applies a good amount of pressure to it. I can’t help but drop the knife. It falls on the floor with a loud metal clink. He raises his head and looks at me. His red eyes are clearly visible.
“Tsk. Did you really think that you could do that?” He smirks at me. “You’re not going to get away with this.” He nonchalantly continues sucking my blood. “S-Stop it. P-Please…” I use every last bit of strength I have left to resist him, but soon after, my body gives up. My eyes shut themselves, but I can still feel the stranger lifting me up and exiting my apartment. It doesn’t take long for everything to go dark.
*???*

Heronie of the slaves - Song of fire and sand "I See you in another way"
Shapur (Pars Era 310)
Shapur (Pars Era 310)
Marzban of Pars, loyal, sharp, ambitious, hot-headed.
A man who at the age of 24 received from the king the highest rank in the Parsian military. A man who obeyed the rules and never broke them or shaped them to his will. A man who cared for his subordinates but also a man who knew that in war he would have to sacrifice them in order to achieve victory.
Shapur was a man who would never question the authority and the decisions of the king and he would defend this decision with all his might against outsiders. Even if he disagreed, because Shapur Marzban of Pars was loyal. Loyal to the royal family, loyal to the king of Pars. His comrades would call him an idealist, even uptight. If he was saw in a bar or a brothel with them after a battle and rejected any approach of a woman. After two cups of wine he already excused himself and retreated to his chambers. Such was Shapur Marzban of Pars, that was what his men, his comrades said of him.
But for Kayra he was more than that:
Kayra could see the sides of Shapur that his comrades, his men, the royal family, even the sides that his brother Isfan did not know. But Kayra knew them
She knew the small wrinkles around his eyes when the first sunlight fell on his still sleeping face, softening his striking features. His black hair, which fell like fine silk over his shoulders and shimmered in the light. His gentle smile, which he gave her when he noticed how she watched him sleeping.
His amused smile when he lowered his eyes and shook his head slightly when Kayra told him about a book she had just finished reading. His caring smile when Isfan played in the garden pretending to be a great warrior.
Kayra knew that Shapur was loyal, he was loyal to those he loved, to the people he cared about. Shapur was less loyal to the king of Pars than to his own people. But she also knew how afraid he was of losing the people he loved. The fear of incurring the wrath of the royal family by a thoughtless act, a thoughtless word, and losing everything. Not his title, not his castle, not his money, but the fear of losing the people he loved.
That is why Shapur kept his opinion to himself, that is why he rarely criticized the king's decisions. Kayra knew this, Kayra knew his thoughts, knew his concerns. She knew that Shapur often spent nights hanging over the king's orders, she saw the deep wrinkles that stretched across his face and looked like deep gorges in the light of the burning candles. Gloomy and frightening
She saw the deep circles under his eyes, the tired look when he looked for another strategy for the repeated time. A strategy that would be less risky and require fewer lives, a strategy to convince the king to deviate from his plans. Kayra knew he was doing this in secret, without much fuss, and without ever getting credit for it. He did it so that the king would save face and so that he would know the ones he loved were safe. Yes, Kayra knew this side of him and many more. She knew that sometimes he was hard on her and Isfan because he wanted to protect them. Protect them from the cruel world that ruled behind the high walls of the fortress.
He did not want them to see the things he had seen, to be forced to do the things he had done. He would never admit this to anyone, but Kayra knew, she knew because he had told her himself.
One night when it all came crashing down on him, one night when the deep circles under his eyes took their toll. On a night when Shapur Marzban of Pars looked not like a young man of just 28 years, but like a man who carried the weight of the world on his own shoulders. A man who had seen too much and done too many things to ever be forgiven for them. Kayra knew this side, the fragile side, the side when his eyes didn't shine with drive and determination, the side when he didn't look at her lovingly and tenderly brush a strand of hair behind his ear with his fingers.
The side when he didn't hold her protectively in his strong arms on the cold winter nights. She knew the side of him that was afraid, the side that knew despair. Kayra knew that some nights he could not sleep, the nights when he came secretly to her chamber. On those nights he didn't speak, he just stand at the edge of her bed as if to make sure she wouldn't just disappear. Sometimes when Kayra woke up, she would move a little in her narrow bed and he would lie down with her. He would hold her tightly, as if she would vanish into thin air at any moment, as if she had never existed.
Kayra knew all too well how stubborn Shapur could be, but she also knew how much compassion he could feel for someone. She knew how hot-headed he could be at times and how insightful he was when he had had time to review all the arguments. Yes Kayra knew that Shapur was like a little insecure boy when he apologized and how relieved he could be when he was forgiven.
Even if his comrades did not see these sides of him, she saw them. She knew that after a battle he did not party until the early hours of the morning, which did not mean that he slept. No, he would stay at his workplace until the early hours of the morning and write letters to the families of the fallen soldiers. Over the years these were many letters and many fallen, but she knew how important it was to Shapur that the soldiers he commanded were not just numbers or faces lost in the crowd.
They too had families, parents, siblings, lovers, children. They now had to deal with this loss, while for him it simply went on. Kayra did not know if this letter helped those left behind or if they would ever receive it, but she also knew that it was more for Shapur. It was his way of dealing with the loss of people he himself had sent to their deaths. Shapur knew how quickly life could be over, how quickly one wrong decision could cost the lives of hundreds, even thousands of people.
He knew it and he knew that Kayra knew it. Kayra also knew why he rejected the women who wooed him. She knew the women who threw themselves at him, it was not only the rich and fine ladies who were taken in by his reserved and friendly manner. No, it was also the prostitutes who waited for the men in the bars and brothels to give them a little pleasure after a battle won or a hard day on the training ground.
Kayra knew that Shapur rejected her, all of them. Shapur was loyal, not only loyal to the royal family, not only loyal to his men. No, he was loyal to her A simple farmer's daughter who had been sold into slavery, he was loyal to her because she knew how precious his time with her and Isfan was, how he soaked up every happy moment, how with every laugh his worries disappeared a little bit more.
Kayra knew this and she also knew that she was his anchor, even if he had never told her this, but she knew it. She knew so much about Shapur Marzban of Pars and for this reason she could tell him. For this reason and many more she could tell him "I see you in a different way than you ever could" and his astonished face, his incredulous smile, the eyes which he cast down and then he laugh out loud only to take her in his arms and steal a secret kiss that was for only for her
For Kayra this was Shapur, Marzban of Pars.
☹︎ Time skip Akaashi-
Warning: first degree murder please tell me if there’s other things
A/N: I’ve been at school and between writing different stories with the finished product being something I didn’t like so this would be my first official story
Akaashi’s one promotion away from becoming the boss of the company he’s working at and there’s also another person that was one promotion away from being the boss so they both had to work twice as hard and gain peoples favor.
R/N saw that people started seeing that he was losing so they had to take matters into their own hands and hired a famous hit man to kill him so R/N can get the promotion.
The hit man kidnapped Akaashi while he was about to get into his car while he was leaving work at night and took him to the forest a long while from the city.
Akaashi prayed and thought “this can’t be the end for me I didn’t even get to say bye and I love you to them” tears cascading down his face realizing there was no escape.
The hit man tied Akaashi to a tree and grabbed Akaashi’s phone smashing it to pieces and grabs a cigarette and lighter from his pocket lights the cigarette he inhaled the smoke and breathed it out.
“If I wasn’t getting paid so much to kill you I would’ve kept you as a little play thing” the hit man lit the grass around Akaashi on fire and laughs as he see’s the fire consume Akaashi and the forest as he leaves.
May I add on here? (Try my best at my first DC x DP) (Please bare with)
Did you know that there are several main arteries in the left arm and shoulder? Danny didn't. He had fallen asleep during that particular lesson because of a ghost attack the night before. Why do ghosts like to come out during the Witching Hour?
Nevermind. That question answers itself.
He was bleeding a lot, but it wasn't a deadly amount yet. Not for him, at least. The knife hadn't hit anything too important, and his left arm was already pretty damaged from the accident. Regardless, it still hurt like all hell. Stab wounds do that.
What didn't help was jumping out of the window. His fight or flight response, already having forced him into fleeing only minutes beforehand, had pushed him into going to the nearest exit the second the door started to rattle.
It wasn't locked. It just liked to stick.
Regardless, he'd gone invisible before running for the window, and opening it. With his go-bag in hand and the bloody knife left on the floor with the medical things he'd yet to put away, he tossed himself out of the window and down two stories. He only remembered his flight after he'd landed.
With a quick flash of light, Phantom flew from the flower bushes (the ones he'd convinced Alfred to let him help with during his first week in the manor) and off the property.
It wasn't safe in Amity Park. It wasn't safe in Wayne Manor. Where could he go?
Dick's place was a no-go. He'd probably tell Bruce where he was. He'd also ask way too many questions that Danny wouldn't have answers for. Wandering Gotham was also a bad idea, especially at night.
"First thing's first," he told himself, a whisper barely picked up over the stale breeze, "Take stock of what you have." He'd seen enough movies to know what to have in a go-bag for any scenario, but he hadn't actually updated his go-bag in a few months. He didn't think he'd need it.
He was never going to make that mistake again.
Being around the living was not safe, so being around the dead was the next best thing. With his, admittedly shoddy, plan in mind, Danny scouted Gotham for a graveyard.
Graveyards were places of mourning. Places where the dead are laid to rest and where the loving can mourn. It is a safe place for those who ask. A safe place for those who need it.
Landing silently before the iron gates he asked, "May I come in?" The wind pushing the unlocked gate open was answer enough for Danny.

Now was a good time to panic, right? Tim thought so. Even if it wasn't a good time, he was going to panic anyway.
"What the hell!" he demanded.
Damian didn't look the slightest bit put off, meeting Tim's glare head on. "I am the blood son. He needed to know his place." Brandishing another knife, he continued, "So do you."
Tim was ready to fight the child to the death. Tim was an older brother now and had been when Danny had entered the house. Damian had no right to come into his home and threaten his little brother!
Before the two could fight, Bruce managed to pull them apart and confiscate their [visible] weapons. "Enough!" A beat, "Damian, go to your room."
The boy wanted to argue, but a quick look from Bruce shut him down before he could say a word.
"Tim, Alfred," The order was quiet, but they both knew what to do.
Searching the manor was both agonizingly slow and going way too fast. What if they skipped over him? What if they snuck past him? What if-! No! No time for thoughts like that.
The final room on the floor, the one on the far end of the wing, liked to stick closed. It wouldn't be soundless to get open, nor would it be easy. It was a long shot that Danny was in there, but they were going to leave no crevice unchecked until he was found.
"Danny?" Tim called through the door, jiggling the doorknob, "Danny? It's Tim! Can I come in?"
There was no verbal response, but the sound of a window slamming open was all the answer he, Bruce and Alfred needed. They needed to get in there now.
DPxDC Prompt
Danny doesn't have the best spatial awareness, you'd think he would given his bout as a vigilante, but his rogues all had the convenient ability of setting off his ghost sense and letting him know when to turn on his awareness.
So when he was taken in by Bruce Wayne in Gotham, far away from any ghosts or portals, he just didn't have any reason to be on guard. It worked well for him since his vigilante days were over and he could put all his focus on school again.
But you see, when he was first taken in, it was just him and his foster brother Tim staying at the manor.
Fast forward to now, Danny gets home from school to find not only Bruce waiting at the table for dinner, but a kid who looks surprisingly like Bruce??? The kid is small, rude and trying to be threatening in a way Danny doesn't really see as such, like the kid is like 8 how much could they really do???
Turns out a lot.
After Danny and Tim sat down and the introductions were made, Bruce filled them in on the situation that was Damian. Tim seemed to take it as a new puzzle, looking to Damian and Bruce periodically as if he could get answers simply by staring. Danny took it in stride, it isn't that unusually for a rich guy to have secret flings that result in children down the line.
Dinner was in full swing when it happened, there had been some bantering the entire time and many threats of bodily harm coming from Damian which weren't met with as many reprimands as Danny assumed it should. A distinct thunk sound was heard after a particularly harsh threat and Danny looked over to see a knife now embedded in Tim's chair where his head once was.
Before he could react, Bruce was standing with a sharp reprimand and Danny collided harshly with his chair as a new knife embedded itself in his shoulder. He cried out in shock, it has been over a year since his last ghost fight and honestly he forgot how much that hurts!
Aka, Bruce and Dick are forced to take Damian's threats more seriously when the civilian Danny is in the crossfire instead of just the trained vigilante Tim.
I just updated my story, it’s been a long time tho.
