Touch Starved

Summary: It’s taken you a while to realise. But Sherlock Holmes is a very touch starved man.

Word Count: 800

Warnings: none, just fluff and soft Sherlock

a/n: It’s been a while since I’ve written for Sherlock and I think it’s about time I go back to my roots :)

You hadn’t noticed it before now.

You hadn’t noticed when his fingers would drag across your palm when you released his hand, almost as if he were hesitant to let you go. You hadn’t noticed when his hold on you tightened and your shirt bunched in his fists each time he had his arms around you. You hadn’t noticed when his eyes softened and slid shut when your hand fondly made its way through his hair.

But now, as you lay together in the quaint living room of 221B it was clear as day. You suddenly couldn’t believe you hadn’t noticed it before. Sherlock Holmes was touch starved.

Oh my god. What a perfect view..

“You’re just 23...” Tony Stark x Reader

Request:  Tony x reader where reader is pretty young & is drugged in one of Tony’s parties, but Tony saves her before anything happens and it’s just fluff? :)

Tag: @iknowyouwuvme

Warning: drugs, alcohol and a little bit of cursing. (Sorry I’m not good at warnings LOL)

Being Maria Hill’s niece had it perks from time to time. She used to sneak you into all the parties Tony Stark threw since you turned 21. You remembered the first one of those parties, the first time you met the billionaire, philanthropic, playboy and genius Tony Stark. He was all of that and even more. He always took care of you during those parties, at least until he was too wasted and used to go to bed with some random girl.

Knowing when you started developing feelings towards him was impossible to know. You knew it was impossible. You were 23 years old and he was closer to being 40 than 30 already. Plus, your aunt would kill you. Just one day you realised how it hurt you to see him with all those model-looking girls and there was not coming back from that point. Actually, it only got worse and you even started to avoid those parties.

That was until you met Tessa. You and Tessa had to do a project together for university so you two ended up becoming really close. She was a kind, hardworking girl, so when she asked you if you could sneak her into one of Tony’s parties for her birthday you couldn’t deny it even when that would mean see him again.

María was also so happy when you asked him for an invitation to the party since it had been almost 6 months since you went to the last one. She was glad to give yours and Tessa’s name to Tony so he could add them to the list. And with that, everything was settled. When you two were getting ready, suddenly Tessa closed the door of the room where you both where and smiled at you.

“What?” You said raising an eyebrow when you finished applying your eyeliner.

“Want to have some fun?” She whispered.

“We are going to a party so we’re already going to have fun”, you chuckled looking at your reflection again.

“Ok, more fun”, she smirked.

Confused you turned to look at her as she walked to her purse, took something from it and walked to you. She opened her hand and when you looked down you saw two pills. They were blue and small. You looked at her with a frown. Definitely, you would have never expected this from that girl. Drugs?

“So? What do you think?” She smirked.

“I think you’re crazy. I don’t do drugs, thanks”, you refused immediately.

“I didn’t either, then I tried these little ones and oh honey, you will see the stars”, she said. “C’mon! Live a little!”

You looked at her just when she had one of the pills and put the other one on the bedtable with a wink before exiting the room. You shook your head and kept on getting ready. That was dangerous and you had been raised to avoid all that kind of stuff. The only drug you allowed yourself to have was alcohol and only when you went out.

Finally, you two were ready and María was waiting for you out of your house. You walked to the bedtable to take your phone when you saw the pill again. Biting your lip you took it and looked at him frowning. You shouldn’t and you were well aware of it but… it wouldn’t hurt right? Just one. And never again. Taking a deep breath you just threw them into your mouth and swallowed before hurrying out of the room.

“How are you feeling?” You asked Tessa when you both got out of the car in front of the Stark Tower.

“Excited!” She said smiling widely. Her pupils were dilated and she looked kind of different but you still didn’t feel different.

With a nod you walked in giving your name and your aunt’s as well. As always, there was no problem and soon you were into the elevator going up. You thought you would be nervous but somehow you only felt some dizziness and excitation. It was a good feeling, a one you liked and one you knew it was because of that pill you had taken.

“Hills!” You shivered as you heard Tony’s voice the moment the three of you stepped out of the elevator. You looked up feeling how the air got stuck in your throat. How was it possible that he looked even better than when you remembered?

He was wearing some dark blue jeans, a black shirt and a dark blue jacket. He looked hot, fit… He was Tony Stark and you were just a little girl.

“My God, (T/N) you look stunning”, he said kissing your hand as he always did. You smiled a little and introduced Tessa. “Nice to meet you. You know where the bar is, drinks are all on me so no worries and have fun!”

You took Tessa’s hand and took her away from him as fast as you could.

“He’s hot!” She exclaimed when you were at the bar. You ordered your drinks and waited for them.

“I know. I noticed. Tell me, do you have more…of that?” You whispered looking at her. As soon as she knew what you were talking about, she smirked and winked at you. She opened her purse when the barman put the drinks in front of you and left and put one into your drink and another one in hers.

You knew this was a bad idea, the worst you ever had, but seeing him had really affected you and you needed a way of getting him out of your mind even when you knew it was impossible. This one hit you faster, probably because of the alcohol but soon you realised that it was just what you needed so you took Tessa’s hand and dragged her to the dance floor.

Through the night you had more and more drinks which really got to your head and the fact that you could see Tony staring at you from the bar didn’t help.

“Do you have another?” You asked Tessa. She laughed out loud and nodded.

“Welcome to life”, she winked as she gave you the pill.

Just when you were about to put it into your drink a hand slapped yours and both the pill and the drink fell to the floor. Frowning you looked up willing to punch the bastard that had done it. But when you found some dark eyes looking at you, all the strength left you.

“Have you lost your mind!?” He asked and then looked at your friend. “Leave. Now. Before I get my suit on.”

You looked how Tessa literally disappeared from there. Tony was really scary when he was mad. He looked back at you and then looked around before taking your hand and dragging you through the room but at some point he had to carry you since you were too drunk to walk a straight line in heels without breaking your ankles.

“I can’t believe you were about to do that, (Y/N), I thought you were better than that”, he said shaking his head as he carried you upstairs.

You didn’t even know what was going on. Your head was a complete blur and you didn’t know if you were seeing Tony Stark or Robert Downey Jr. You always thought they were too alike but Tony did look better. You think he opened some doors and suddenly you felt something soft under you, a bed? Rolling over, you fell to the floor and started laughing.

“Damn, you’re wasted and drugged.”

“Hey, I only had two magic pills. I’m not that high. But hell yeah, I’m wasted”, you laughed and leaned against the wall.

“Two pills!? What they were?” You shrugged at his question and suddenly, without even knowing what was going on, you threw up all over the carpet.

“Oh shit…” you mumbled with a frown.

And once again Tony lifted you and took you to the bathroom. You didn’t know what happened anymore but you just didn’t remember anything else from that moment. Next time you opened your eyes you were in a room, dark but with a small lamp turned on. You could feel that you were still a bit drunk but somehow you knew the drugs were now out of your system.

“Hey…” you looked at the other side of the room to see Tony walking to the bed quickly. What was going on here?

“Hey Stark”, you mumbled blinking a few times.

“You’re still drunk”, he sighed taking a seat by your side and offering you some water that you took quickly since your mouth was completely dry. “How could you?”

You looked at him and then down, feeling so embarrassed. That wasn’t you. You were completely against the drugs but somehow you found yourself accepting them from a girl you thought was your friend.

“I…” You covered your face and sighed “I… I don’t know”, you whispered. Suddenly you felt his arms around you and how he pulled you closer until you were curled up on his lap. You didn’t even know what time it was or where you were but you wouldn’t change this moment for anything. “Where is my auntie?” You finally whispered.

“Lucky for you, she didn’t complain when I told her you were tired and wanted to sleep here. I had to take you to my room though since you threw up all over the other room”, he sighed.

“I’m sorry”, you whispered not being able to look into his eyes

“You fucking passed out. I didn’t know what to do, I freaked out. Damn, don’t ever do it again, please…” he whispered stroking your hair slowly. “I don’t know what I’d without you”, he added.

You looked up at him not getting why he would say such thing. You weren’t that important. Not to him anyway. He looked down at you, making you see how he gulped and sighed as he cupped your cheek.

“I’m being honest… You’re too important. I know you shouldn’t be and I know I shouldn’t feel this way but…” he shook his head and chuckled. “Hills is going to kill me for this”, he whispered before kissing you softly.

That was probably the last thing you expected. At the beginning you couldn’t even move but soon you closed your eyes and kissed him back, letting all the dizziness just go away with every single move of his lips over yours. It was such a gentle kiss that you thought it was all a dream but when you opened your eyes there he was, looking at you, waiting for your reaction.

“I know you are too young or I’m too old but… I couldn’t help it. You’re such a brilliant girl, smart, and funny, I just… Your aunt will kill me for this, you’re just a 23…” he sighed.

“Tony…” You whispered. He looked at you and you smiled a little despite everything that happened during the party. “I love you too”, you said.

His face literally lighted up as you said that. He pulled you closer once again and kissed you, deeper this time, as he laid you down on the bed. You both knew your aunt would kill the two of you but somehow and not saying a word about it you had decided that you would take care of it in the morning or just…later.

How about mob! Seb and the kid of the police chief! reader

OKAY but this is a mf-ing concept!!! 

alright so your dad is the chief and you and Mob!Seb are having a secret relationship

your dad doesn’t know anything about it, obviously and it’s kind of thrilling for you to be going out with the town’s notorious bad guy while being a cop’s daughter

maybe that’s what makes your relationship exciting

your dad was a strict man, and you still lived with your parents, plus you had a curfew

so Seb would always park his car near your street, waiting for you to sneak out of the house so he can take his girl for a drive or spend some time together at his place later in the night

he’d wait for you, leaning against his expensive car and his smile getting bigger and bigger when you got closer. 

“There she is, my babygirl! I missed you so much all day, you have no idea!” he’d mumble against your skin as he hugs you tight. 

having to meet in secret and keep your relationship hidden made each moment you spent together much more exciting

he had started getting cocky in bed as well;

“Bet your daddy doesn’t know you call me daddy too, huh?” 

“Look at you, you’re my personal little slut, aren’t you babygirl?” 

“You’re my dirty little secret, aren’t you?”

Or on nights when he just can't help himself, he'd sneak up into your room while your dad was out working late, or fast asleep

And he'd fuck you good in your bed;

Placing his hand on your mouth to keep you quiet while he pounds into you

"shh, don't wanna get caught now, do we babygirl?"

okay but mob!seb would spoil the hell out of his girl

to a point where it became hard for you to hide all the money and the gifts he gave you almost daily. 

designer bags and shoes

endlessly shopping trips

cash

jewelry

a necklace with his last name on it which you had to hide under your shirts all the time

you’d hear your dad and his mates talking about your boyfriend often, and whenever they got a lead on him, you’d text him to let him know so he can watch out for the cops.

“marry me” Seb would tell you often, while in bed

or while driving around the city at night

or while eating junk food in his kitchen late at night

you’d always laugh and tell him, “My dad will kill you.” 

and he’d just chuckle and reply with “Let’s run away then.” 

you’d then tell him that your dad would shoot you if you ever did

“Well, that leaves me no choice but to steal you away from your dad.” he’d say, leaning in to kiss you. 

you’d laugh and tell him he’s crazy. 

“I’ll make you mine one day though baby, don’t you worry.” he’d kiss you again, as though sealing his promise. 

“Hmm sure babe, sure. Drop me home for now, before my dad kills us both.”  

Maze runner Reactions Badass Reader

Reader - A badass girl who can look after herself and doesn’t need anyone. Your skilled in combat and have exceptionally good reflex’s. You have spent about 3 months in the Maze and its your first time meeting actual people.

Glader’s Reactions

Gally: She can think what ever the shucking hell she likes but we have rules here and she will obey them just like everyone else. I don’t trust her, not a chance and i dont know if I believe this la la story about staying in the the maze for 3 months.

Newt: Well i honestly kinda like her..she’s very different from the rest of us kinda like Thomas but more mysterious and wild. I can see she’s quite hard to tame, she definitely doesn’t like being told what to do. Ha ha ha...we ultimately had to throw her in the Slammer for a month..but it was all worth it.

Minho: God that girl makes grievers easy to handle, it was bad enough when me and Ben had to drag her back into the glade by force. She kicked Ben right i the face and elbowed me to the ribs. I’m not gonna lie i like a challenge and I’m defiantly not backing down from this one. Neither is Gally.

Thomas: I really admire the girl..not that i want t be thrown in the slammer as well. But i just really like her drive and passion it makes her seem powerful, invincible almost. I wonder ho she lasted so long in the maze and if she’s willing to teach me. I don’t see her as the wild girl that she is, she just wants her freedom and wants to live by her own rules which is fair enough.

Chuck: I think Ably and Gally are a bit harsh on her. Sure she was very violent and quite aggressive but that’s cause Gally pushed her over the edge. I remember approaching her when she was in the slammer she was very kind to me, she had a soft voice and did not threaten me at all. She told me her stories about the outside world beyond the maze and the battles she fought with the Grievers. I really enjoy her company and I’m happy she’s not the psycho everyone sorta makes her out to be.

Alby: Where do I even start, she’s a lot to handle in more ways then one. I can’t let her out of my sight cause she will make a dash for the maze, she wont do the work I assign her and she wont obey pretty much any of our rules and there are only 3! I don’t now I still have hope for her but its running short, maybe she really does belong to the Maze. Or maybe I’m not looking at the bigger picture.

Frypan: Huh the only things that really seems to calm her down is my cook she loves the steaks i cook and always wants them. All the interactions I have had with her aren’t actually bad,she always thanks me for my efforts and acknowledges that she loves my food. One time she actually snuck into the homestead and helped me with the cooking and cleaning She really isn’t a bad sort. I think Ably and Gally need to just give the girls chance and loosen up, see the word through her perspective.

Idiot - Stiles Stilinski x gn!reader

Warnings: kissing, play fighting, major cliché coming-of-age teen movie vibes

Summary: You and Stiles have been best friends your entire lives, and you two having plans to study just so happened to be the turning point in that relationship.

A/N: I kind of hate this, but I couldn’t stop thinking about it when I found this gif.

Stiles had a tendency to blow out the speakers in his jeep whenever he had the chance, and you being his best friend, knew that more than anyone.

One of those times was happening at this exact moment, the both of you flying down the road after school, screaming to the music playing from his iPod and having the time of your lives. It took a few bumps from the bass for the speakers to go out, and Stiles was slamming his palms against the wheel and swearing under his breath.

“Stiles, it’s fine. You can just tweak them a bit like you usually do, and they’ll be fine again.” You said as you shut off his iPod, Stiles grumbling some more as he pulled into his driveway. “I know you’re right, but I don’t like it.” He replied, you laughing and opening the door to step out. “You’re so dramatic; come on, the econ exam is tomorrow and I haven’t the slightest clue what Coach has been spouting off in class.”

The two of you headed into Stiles’ house, Stiles pouting like a kicked puppy the entire way up the stairs and into his room. “Hey, is everything okay with Scott? He’s been acting really strange lately,” you ask, Stiles dropping his bag on the ground and sitting at his desk chair. “Yeah, just your typical teenage werewolf things. Derek isn’t helping anything either.” You hum, sitting on his bed and unzipping your bag to pull out your econ notes.

“Makes sense,” you reply, staring down at your notebook and trying your hardest to understand the gibberish sprawled across it. You groan, flopping backwards on his bad and pressing a pillow into your face. “Do me a favor,” you mumble through the fabric. You hear Stiles’s chuckle, one of the few sounds that can make your stomach erupt in butterflies. “What would that be?” He asked. “Smother me so I don’t have to endure another moment of economics.”

Stiles laughed, standing from his desk chair and plopping down on the bed next to you. You tried to ignore the way your heart raced at the feel of his leg brushing against yours. “Well considering my dad has caught me at multiple crime scenes the last few weeks, I don’t think I’m going to give him a reason to actually suspect me.” The pillow was pulled from your face and you were met with a light whack with it. You gasped playfully, sitting up and grabbing another pillow to hit him back.

“Hey now!” He laughed, holding his empty hand out in defense, your attack still going strong as he attempted to evade each whack. Suddenly, the pillow is ripped from your hands and both are dropped to the floor. You laugh loudly, gripping his wrists and shoving at him, Stiles’ smile radiating pure joy as he lightly pushed back.

He pulled back, your grip loosening enough for him to escape and grab your wrists in return. “Stiles, this isn’t fair!” You cackled as you pushed against his grip, Stiles scrunching his face and pushing back. You really should have known it was a bad idea, but you tried taking a step back to balance yourself, but your knee buckled and the both of you toppled onto the bed.

Of course, Stiles landed on top of you, and the both of your laughing ceased immediately. Your heart was pounding in your chest as you stared into his eyes, both of your breathing labored from the laughing and play-fighting that had occurred before. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to.” You whispered, worried because Stiles still hadn’t said anything. “D-Don’t be,” he whispered back, his eyes not leaving yours.

He wasn’t moving from his position on top of you, his hands still gripped around your wrists and pinning them lightly to the bed. He started to move, and your brain was in panic mode because this had never happened before, and you didn’t want him to move. Instead of moving off of you, he adjusted himself and rested his knee in between your legs.

“Stiles,” you whispered, noticing the way his eyes never left your face. “Y/N,” he whispered back, his eyes flickering to your lips for a split second. You couldn’t believe this was happening, the boy you’ve had the biggest crush on for your entire lives was hovering over you, breathing as heavily as you were, and stealing glimpses of your lips. “Kiss me,” you breathed, your voice almost completely inaudible.

He stared back down at you, his breath stuttering for just a moment before he leaned down and kissed you, his lips barely grazing yours in the process. When he pulled away, you couldn’t help but chuckle. “What?” He asked, a small smile forming on his face. “You call that a kiss?” You teased, Stiles biting his lip before leaning down and pressing his lips to yours firmly.

It was at this exact moment, you knew you were screwed. The way your body felt as if it were immediately bursting into flames wasn’t even the half of it. Your heart was pounding in your chest, and if you had any chance of getting your hands out of his tightening grip, you’d be gripping his hair so tight it’d probably hurt.

Finally, he pulled his hands from your wrists and placed one on your waist and the other on the back of your neck, pulling you closer to him. You immediately gripped the back of his flannel and pulled him down. At this point, the two of you were pressed against each other, your lips never ceasing their movements. You gripped his shoulders and pushed, successfully flipping him onto his back and causing him to pull away from you as you straddled him.

He stared up at you, his eyes wide and lips swollen and slightly parted. “Truce?” he whispered, your laugh enveloping you in pure joy. “For being as smart as you are, Stilinksi, you’re kind of an idiot.” You said, Stiles grinning back up at you before sitting up and resting his hands on your hips. “Just shut up and kiss me, Y/N.” He replied, your heart beating the slightest bit faster as you leaned in and pressed your lips to his once more.

Barrel's Goddess

{Kaz Brekker x reader}

Summary: You are an old friend of Kaz Brekker and pay him a visit after seven months. You're also a legend in the Barrel.

Warnings: Threat through a dagger.

Part 2: https://alcottsangel.tumblr.com/post/652174516567572480/barrels-goddess-2

People either feared or adored her. There was barely any in between. She was the closest thing to a god the Barrel had.

She could kill, she could save and nobody wanted to be on her bad side.

Nobody but Kaz.

But he would never be on Y/n's bad side.

They were close since they arrived in the barrel. Both victims of the plague, both orphaned and all alone. They suddenly only had each other. So while Kaz worked his way up through the Dregs, Y/n took every job she could get. Everything, but never one that required her to stay. She would never again give up the freedom to go wherever she wanted to. Not after the plague freed her from her parents.

Kaz and Y/n were a team, wether they would ever admit it or not.

She would sneek into his attic in the night, when everyone, even Inej, was out. Nobody knew that Dirtyhands associated with the Goddess. They'd talk and laugh and Kaz would let down his mask for a few hours. For a brief moment they were just kids. But Kaz Brekker wasn't a kid.

Kaz Brekker was the Bastard of the Barrel, Kaz Brekker was Dirtyhands, most respected member of the Dregs, feared in the entire Barrel. Y/n wasn't a kid either, Y/n was a shadow, never seen and never heard, yet everyone knew her name. Some claimed her to be a god. She wasn't. Neither a god, nor a saint. Just a Heartrender with a talent for daggers and a big knowledge about venom.

But she liked the title she held.

It kept her save and her work going. Barrel Bosses liked to pay for pretty girls that were feared.

Here's the thing. It's been seven months since she has last seen Kaz. She had a job, something that took a bit longer but was payed well.

It wasn't something very dangerous, she just had to bring a bankers kid out of Ketterdam.

She hasn't told Kaz that she took the job. She never did. But she also never had a job before, that took more than a month.

So she did what she was used to.

She sneaked into his attic late at night. It was dark and smelled like parchment and wood oil.

Kaz wasn't there, but Y/n stayed anyways.

She was still in her work clothes, mask up.

But it was boring and Kaz was nowhere to be seen. The shelves caught her attention. Y/n took out the recent books to check the numbers of the Crow Club. They added up nicely, she noticed. Business was going well. Good for Kaz.

She sighed and placed it back where she took it from. Then she walked over to the writing desk. It was messy, there was a cup of coffee and the papers were scattered all over the place. So she did what she was good at. Sorting things out. Doing the work Kaz had left unmoved.

When she finished the papers from the Crow Club, Y/n walked over to the shelve again to put them where they belonged.

Out of nowhere, someone pressed her against the wall, dagger at her throat.

The person was smaller than her, clearly female. Must be Inej.

Y/n held up her arms in defence, chuckling softly. Right at the door stood Kaz, crow cane in his hand, wearing hat and coat and, of course, a suit. Handsome as always. Next to him stood a certain sharpshooter Y/n had seen every now and then. Jesper.

"Who are you and what are you looking for?" Inej asked, moving the dagger closer to Y/n.

She looked over to Kaz again, right into his eyes. That Bastard knew it was her and didn't say a word. "I'm an old friend." She finally confessed. Inej took down her masked, looking into the soft face of a women that wasn't a day older than they were. The Suli girl looked back to Kaz, who obviously had no intention in clearing the situation, so she turned back to

Y/n. "Who are you?" She asked again, slowly.

"They tell me I'm a god." Y/n smiled sweetly.

Inej understood immediately. Only one person in the entire barrel would answer to the question with that. Inej wasn't sure if she actually existed or if it was just a rumour, but now she stood in front of her.

"Let her go, Wraith. She's on our side."

"I'm on no side, Kaz." Y/n said, finally being freed from Inej's dagger.

"Well who would've thought Kaz actually has friends we don't know about." Jesper laughed, packing away the gun he held towards her. "She's not my friend." Kaz assured. Y/n laughed.

"Hell I am. He just can't get rid of me."

"I did, for seven months." Kaz smirked slightly.

"Oh come on, Brekker. I had a job, you don't get to take the credit for my absence."

While Kaz sat down at his table, Jesper held up his hand for her to shake. "Nice to meet someone who can get Mister Hardfeelings to smirk. My name is-" She took his hand. "Jesper Fahey. I know. And you're Inej Ghafa. I'm Y/n. That's it, nothing more to me."

Inej looked at her in amazement.

"The entire Barrel talks about you. They say you're a saint." She said respectfully.

She turned to Kaz, who still smirked, and laughed loudly.

"I'm not a saint. I don't even believe in them. I don't need saints as long as I'm considered a god. You can't get more respect than that."

Y/n sat down on a small couch, making herself comfortable. "I've looked through the books. Did a bit of your paperwork. Things are going good, Brekker."

Kaz started going through the things Y/n had done. He nodded in agreement. "They are."

"So, are you gonna tell us why you're just casully chatting while we never even knew that the Barrels Goddess even existed, or are you just gonna leave this unaddressed?" Jesper asked, pointing between Kaz and Y/n.

"Get out Jesper." Kaz said, without looking up.

"No further questions asked." Jesper answered, nodding towards the door so Inej followed him.

She did, smiling towards Y/n.

Y/n smiled back. She liked the Wraith. She liked Jesper too. Kaz always trusted the right people.

After the door was closed, Kaz finally looked up again. "You enjoyed me pinned against the wall, huh?" Y/n chuckled. "No, I just had to get back at you for the timeout. You could've at least said something." He turned back to the papers. "Ah damn, don't act all worried now."

Kaz looked up again, holding eye contact to her for a moment. "So Darling, tell me what you've done the last seven months?"
