My hearing heightened as I struggled to keep my balance, the silk sash around my eyes and the other restraining my arms behind me. The crackle of footsteps into the fallen leaves approached closer and closer, sending my nerves through the roof, until all I could understand were those sounds. I kept my head bowed low in respect as the steps grew louder, circling around me. Praying to the god of the mountain daily and in all things could not fully prepare me for the reality of standing in his presence. My imagination conjured up the image of a tall, foreboding, ancient, white-haired warrior, dressed in the regal red and gold of royalty, a large and fierce blade at his hip and a scowl on his aged face. The countenance of a warrior who had seen centuries of seasons. In front of such a figure, how could I dare to raise my head? My thoughts and heart raced faster when the steps stopped directly before me, more and more with fear instead of anticipation. What would this god do upon the discovery of a man for his bride instead of the woman he expected and desired?The shrill pitch of a blade pulled from its scabbard rang through the air. The cold of sharp steel lifted my head up by the underside of my chin to face him. Then the edge of the blade dragged lightly over the skin of my cheek, until it caught at the edge of the sash at my temple. I struggled to maintain an even breath as I steeled myself to meet my new Master.…

To any in search of Her Royal Majesty's Ship "The Fantasia" and her crew,Our vessel crashed upon shoals one stormy night, rendering its surviving passengers stranded on this coast, location uncertain. Shipmaster Capt. Fletcher and Sailing Master Capt. O'Flannery immediately established order and stability, organizing the crew to build homes, hunt, fish, and forage. This order lasted us near one month.Let it be known that in the early morning of our 28th day after the wreck, quartermaster McGregor headed a revolt. While Capt. Fletcher led a group of men on a hunt in the jungle, Mr. McGregor and ten others murdered the remaining crew in their sleep, including Capt. O'Flannery. Upon return, the hunting crew and the rebels fired upon each other until all were dead.Capt. Fletcher passed this evening, the 30th day, after a two-day struggle with his battle wounds. I am left alone and wounded, unable and unwilling to survive. After the completion of this letter, I shall fill my pockets and stomach with stones and walk out into the ocean to join my father in eternal rest. My only hope is that the events that unfolded upon this beach will be discovered- a small form of justice for those brave men who had borne the hardship of our hopeless struggle to survive and then succumbed to pointless violence from those they had considered their friends.Sincerely,The young Mr. FletcherWARNING : THEMES OF RAPE…

Zukox(M)Reader"But... why?" He frowned and hung his head low. His loose hair covered the scar I was so familiar with by now. "All I've done is hurt you, even though that's not my intention."My heart ached for him, standing before me and baring his soul for me to see. I knew how hard this must be for him- I'd been through this process of healing myself. "Zuko," I sighed as I stepped closer to him. So close that our breath mingled together. He kept his eyes downcast but leaned forward to touch his forehead to mine. Too ashamed to look at me. "I've already forgiven you."He glanced up at me, his golden eyes flashing sadly. I could see the guilt in them when they trailed to the burns on my neck. "I haven't forgiven myself for it yet, though."…

Nicox(M)Reader"I love you."My breath hitched in my throat. I couldn't lift my gaze from the floor. "I don't love you for your personality, although it's amazing and intelligent. I don't love you for body, although it's not lacking in any way. I don't love you for the way you make me feel. I love you for your thoughts. For your actions."…

Lx(M)Reader"What are you looking for?" I asked uneasily.For the first time since I'd known him, he looked confused. As in actually emoting with facial expressions. It scared me a little. Something must be wrong for the best detective the world has ever seen to give me a look like this. "I'm not sure, exactly."What an even more unsettling response. "Am I... Is it a problem with me? What can I do to help?"One of his thumbs reached up to rub his lip like it always did when his thoughts raced. But right now he wasn't contemplating a case. It was just him and just me, alone in this room, separated only by a table littered with Mambas. My favourite candy. Like he was a penguin presenting his chosen mate with an impressive pebble. This was so bizarre... Never in a million years did I see the mastermind L being interested in someone romantically- let alone ME of all people. "I don't understand. I'm not special. I'm not extraordinary. I'm not gifted, or a genius, or any of the things you are. I must be so unexciting to you." I wasn't trying to put myself down. It's just fact. He was so far above me in every way. I touched one of the Mambas with a fingertip, pushing it around on the table while I wrestled with my thoughts, feeling my brow furrow like never before. "It just makes no sense."His response was immediate and not very helpful. "Yes, it makes no sense. Perhaps that's why... I don't know." When I glanced up, his wide, unblinking, dark eyes were already staring deep into my own. Two voids against that paper-white face. "Perhaps that's why it came to be."…
