The Riddler
Old monk maz koshia animation I made
I just spent 6 hours of my life reading what seems like every single Gareth x Reader post on this app. I’m slowly falling for this boy more and more with each one I read. I beg you writers out there to make more cause I just wanna read them and show sm love to them cause I’m catching feelings hard asf rn for him😭
You try to open the drama club door but it refuses to yield. Which is weird. It’s never locked. You try again and let out a frustrated sigh. You can hear voices from inside, so you know they’re in there.
You knock impatiently. The voices pause. They whisper rapidly before hesitant footsteps reach the door.
“What’s the password?” Henderson’s anxious yet stern voice makes it through the door.
“What fucking password? Let me in.” You jiggle the door handle as a threat.
“Sorry, you can’t come in without the password. New ruling.”
“Since when?” “Since today.”
“Come ON dude, I have McDonalds. Just let me in.” You hold the bag to the door frame, hoping to entice the boy with the smell of fries through the cracks.
“NO!” One of the others, Gareth, you think, yells, “YOU’RE GOING TO DISTRACT HIM!”
You frown, lowering the bag and crossing your arms in defense even if they can’t see you. “So?”
“So!” Gareth’s voice is closer now, “Today’s arc is vital to the campaign and we can’t have Eddie distracted!”
“I’m not gonna-”
Gareth interrupts, “You are! That's all you do!”
You pout. Sure you might be guilty of sitting by his side during their campaigns and feeding your boyfriend fries off to the side, but it’s not your fault he asks you to feed them to him.
Dustin and Gareth are having a muttered argument while you think. Something about the sanctity of the narrative. You decide to play dirty.
“Eddie?” You call in your sweetest tone possible.
“Yes, sweetheart?” He responds, much closer to the door than you expected. He must already feel guilty, which is perfect for you.
“Am I distracting you?” You have to hear it from him. You’re not sure why he didn’t just ask you to stay home.
He sighs and responds, “It’s not your fault, baby, I- OW!” You hear the thump of him likely getting elbowed, “ Henderson, watch yourself or you’re out next.”
“Does that mean you don’t want your flurry?”
Gareth interrupts again before Eddie can respond. “He can have it,” You can hear Eddie grumble beyond the door, “If you can guess the password.”
“Can I have a hint?”
Eddie is helping even when the other’s seem to be holding him back, “It’s the arc we’re playing right now, baby.” Though the boys are shushing him you take a moment to think. You hum with your finger to your lips, exaggerating even though they still can’t see you. You know Eddie’s been talking about it, he’s been very excited to run this story for a while now. You tap your foot and try to recall the notes and doodles on Eddie’s desk.
Dustin laughs, “Wow, I didn’t think the password would work-”
You snap. With a triumphant smile you announce, “Vecna’s Curse.”
The boys groan, except for Eddie, who’s unlocking the door and grinning wildly, “Welcome back to hellfire, sweetheart.”

Happy halloween!! 🎃 thank you for your amazing fics!!!🧡🧡🧡🧡
Thank you !! You're so nice 😭 😭
I'm happy you liked my fic !!! <3
request: Haii uhm for the ff7 requests ! I don’t know if you have played rebirth but since there are the golden saucer dates, i was maybe thinking you could do a reader x cloud having a date? Maybe the two have feelings for each other but they are completely oblivious that the feeling is mutual, and they both think their feelings aren’t reciprocated. Maybe the others know about this and so they make it as if to leave them alone during their time there, and you know it all goes from there? Obviously if you don’t like the request that’s alright! by: anonymous.
a/n: eeeeeeee second ff7 imagine :))) i planned to write for zack next tbh but i couldn't pass up this request. it's so cute!
tw: obviously spoilers for rebirth! don't read if you haven't gotten to chapter 12 of the game
pairing: cloud strife x f!reader
It was the most colour you’d ever seen in your life.
And everyone looked so happy.
You could barely contain the excitement bursting through your chest, eyes wandering across with the brightest smile plastered across your lips. You’re blissfully unaware of the pair of eyes watching you, lost in your own thoughts as your feet shuffle beneath you, antsy.
But not sure what you’re antsy for. Or what you want to do.
“Me and Aerith are gonna go look at the chocobo racing.”
Blinking, you’re pulled from your thoughts at the sound of Tifa. When you turn to look at her, she’s already looking at you, a warm smile on her lips as she gestures behind her to Aerith.
You glance in the direction of the Chocobo racing and think that it could be fun. You’re overwhelmed with the amount of options at the Gold Saucer and you were happy as long as you were with your friends so you step towards them, lips parting to say you’ll join the two girls but then Aerith is grabbing Tifa’s wrist and the two girls are turning around before you even have the chance.
“We’ll see you later!”
Hand held out in front of you, you frown.
“I’m off too!” Yuffie calls in the next second, already shuffling backwards as she sends you a wink and a slap on Barret’s shoulder.
“Oh, but Yuffie–”
“I’m gonna try to get some rest,” Barret calls out gruffly, nudging Cloud who is standing beside you and sends you a nod. “I’ll be at the hotel.”
You blink, lips curved downwards and move to step towards him but he’s already turned his back to you.
“Me and the laddie are gonna look at the battle arena,” Cait calls out, perched on Red’s back as he tips his head at you. You meet his eyes before drifting down to Red’s who is staring up at you in return. “Red showed some interest, you see!”
“Thought I could take some notes,” Red nods at your questioning look. “We’ll see ya.”
And with a speed only Red seems to manage, the two are off before you can offer to join them.
Once they disappear from your sight, you slump back, a huff leaving your lips as you glance around, suddenly realizing that everyone except for Cloud had left, none of them giving you a single chance to ask if you could join them. Realistically, you’d expected to join Tifa and Aerith, but you would’ve had fun with any of your friends.
Well, you guessed Cloud was still here, but you’d imagined he wouldn’t necessarily want to go sightseeing with you; even if that reality hurt your heart in a way you didn’t want to acknowledge.
Sighing, you turn to look at Cloud only to be surprised when his eyes are already on you.
“Did you have plans to?” Cloud asks, voice soft as he raises a brow in question.
Frowning, you shrug, turning away from Cloud to glance around you. “Not sure. Everyone ran off before I could ask to join them.”
“Well.”
And when Cloud doesn’t say anything else, you turn to him in curiosity, wondering if something was wrong, only to be surprised when you see he’d taken a step forward and his arm was held out towards you for you to grab. You blink, once, twice, eyes flickering from his outstretched arm back to his eyes that continue to stare at you in question, silently inviting you in a way you never would’ve expected.
“You want to?” You ask softly in return, feeling your cheeks warm as you lower your gaze, suddenly feeling a whole lot more bashful than you had seconds before. It was one thing to constantly feel Cloud’s presence beside you, a dominating aura that never left you in the way you loved.
He was always near, and it was hard to sometimes pull your gaze away. And the two of you had talked before, you felt that you actually got along well with the boy in the scheme of things given that the truth was he wasn’t all that chatty. But you’d never been alone with you. Not like this. And not in a place like this either.
A quick glance around you told you that you weren’t crazy for assuming this place felt more intimate. There were couples everywhere, holding hands, smiling at each other, kissing, in their own worlds with all the lights and chatter and the warmth of each other.
Being in a place like this, alone, with Cloud made your heart race in a way that made it hard to focus and the worst part was that he probably didn’t even realize it.
“If you want,” he answers gently, nodding, arm still held out towards you. “You looked disappointed that everyone else ran off. But… you don’t have to hang with me if you don’t–”
Feeling guilty you’d made him think you didn’t want to hang with him, and knowing that was quite literally the far opposite of the truth, you hastily shake your head, cutting off his words. You step forward, ignoring the lurch of your heart as you wrap your arm around his own, your hand falling against his bicep. You try to ignore how strong and toned his arm feels beneath your skin, and how instantly you feel a lot hotter than you had seconds ago, keeping your gaze strictly ahead of yourself.
You pray Cloud can’t feel how fast your heart is beating.
Cloud shuffles on his feet for a moment before he glances down at you; “where do you wanna go?”
-
You ended up wandering for a good while.
Nothing particularly caught either of your eyes but you didn’t mind. If you were being truthful, it was enough to just be able to spend this time with Cloud, alone.
Even if it didn’t feel the same to him, which you’re sure it didn’t. Even if this was just a courtesy he’d done for you because he’d seen how sad and pathetic you’d looked after everyone else had run off from you. It didn’t matter. Not at that moment. It was just enough for you then that you got to be with him, close to him like this.
“Do you wanna go on?”
It takes you a second to realize Cloud is speaking but you feel him shift and watch as he points before the both of you, your eyes following the point of his finger only to fall on the Skywheel.
“Oh,” you mumble, feeling your cheeks grow warm. “Don’t we need tickets for that?”
You glance around, trying to find the ticket booth, secretly hoping there were even tickets left before Cloud speaks up again.
“No worries,” he calls and your eyes fall on him as he holds two tickets before you. At your wide expression, he lets out a tiny smile. “Tifa handed these to me before her and Aerith ran off.”
Your eyes widen and suddenly it clicks.
Clearly, Tifa and Aerith hadn’t purposely left you like you’d worried. This had all been a plan from the beginning! A plan because you’d told them of your feelings for Cloud when the two had cornered you for the truth. Tifa was hard enough to dodge on her own like you’d grown to learn over the past few years but with the added addition of Aerith, the two were like an unstoppable force and your confession had practically been pulled out of you.
Your chest tightens with worry.
Poor Cloud. Being wrapped up in those twos’ schemes… You’d hoped he maybe did want to hang with you after all, but it was probably more likely that Aerith and Tifa had forced him to take you on the date and had left him no choice when they’d run off.
Which meant the others were probably in on it too…
Oh, you were so going to kill them.
“I’m so sorry,” you find yourself saying before you can stop yourself. Your hand falls to your forehead, pulling away from Cloud’s arm and you miss the way he frowns at the loss of your touch. Brushing back your hair, you meet his eyes. “Tifa and Aerith forced you to spend time with me tonight, didn’t they? That’s why they gave you the tickets… I’m sorry, Cloud. I know you probably would’ve preferred to do your own–”
You're cut off but his hand on your arm, holding tightly enough to pull your attention on him. He’s stepped towards you, closed the distance between the both of you, close enough that his chest presses against your own. Your eyes widen when you realize how close he actually is, feeling your breath get caught in the back of your throat as you stare back at him with parted lips.
“No,” he calls out, the words rushed. “I wanted to spend time with you! I mean, yes… Tifa and Aerith gave me the tickets but they didn’t force me to. I was actually trying to find the way to ask you but I didn’t know how and they saw that so they… Well, um, helped, I guess.”
Cloud desperately avoids your gaze, cheeks warm in a way you’ve never quite seen before and he actually seems genuinely embarrassed as the both of you stand there for a moment longer. His words are still processing in your mind, lips left parted as you feel your heart start to race all over again and the warmth floods you tenfold as his words finally click.
Cloud… Cloud wanted to spend time with you.
“Oh,” you finally manage, glancing at your feet. “Well… me too. I-I mean, I, um, wanted to spend time with you too…”
Cloud’s lips part, and then the two of you are staring at each other.
“Last call for the Skywheel!”
Both of your eyes snap to the attendant standing at the ferris wheel, and with one final look at each other, you both step forward. Cloud hands the ticket to him and then a cart pulls up a second later. You step in first, sitting down and Cloud follows a moment later, and when you expect him to take the seat opposite of you, he instead chooses to sit next to you.
The door to the cart shuts and the attendant wishes you well before you feel yourself moving, slowly going higher and higher. Hands resting at your sides, you try to ignore the nerves bubbling through you, letting your eyes drift across the fireworks dancing across the sky, taking in all the colours.
Then, at first faintly, you feel Cloud’s left hand ghost across your right one. You feel yourself freeze, but you hesitate glancing at him, letting your fingers shift slightly in return, inviting him, and a second later he obliges when you feel his fingers thread through your own. You flip your palm, letting him press his own against yours and smile when you feel him squeeze.
Finally, you let your eyes fall on him and he’s already looking at you, expression soft, not guarded in the way it usually is, and you smile, just faintly, swallowing your nerves.
“Cloud,” you find yourself whispering.
He’s leaning forward, inch by inch, hand never leaving your own. “You’re… beautiful,” he whispers in return to his name and you blink, that flutter returning.
That was the last thing you expected Cloud to say. You never knew he could be so… romantic when he wanted to. But you can tell he means the words, his sincerity floods his tone and it makes your heart burst with the warmth of the feelings you’ve desperately tried to ignore.
His lips are a breath away and all it takes is one more hesitant glance at his eyes before you close the gap and press your lips against his. Cloud doesn’t hesitate to respond, the hand holding your own holding tight as his eyes flutter shut and his free hand falls to your waist, pulling you closer.
You lean into his touch with ease, feeling his warmth envelope you in a way it never quite has before.
And then, as he leans back, and you both pull away, his forehead rests against your own, and you breathe in his scent and his presence, relishing in the way it feels to have him so close.
“I like you,” you whisper in the silence, eyes still shut. “I… really like you.”
Clouds hand twitches against your side and he nudges you with his nose. “Me too,” he mumbles, “if that wasn’t obvious.”
You let out a laugh, letting your eyes flicker open as you pull back, hands still intertwined and shoulders still touching but enough that you can see his face properly. He’s smiling, just faintly, in a very Cloud way but it still touches your heart to see you’d been able to make him smile, and the lights of the fireworks dance across his pale skin and butterflies flutter through your stomach.
It’s exactly and nothing like how you’d dreamed this moment would be.
And you love every second of it because no one has ever quite looked at you the way he does in that moment.
Y/N: "What the fuck is wrong with you?"
Jack: "I'm traumatized by my tragic death and my confinement in a vhs tape left me terrified of being alone & forgotten."
Alan: "I was neglected growing up to the point I'll perceive basic human kindness as romantic attraction."

Gf!Ethan X GN!Reader
Masterlist if you want to read my other things.
‼️CW/TW‼️: scar; manipulative E; yandere!Ethan
If there's others tell me.
Not satisfied with this one, like really not. I fell like this is pure shit. Sorry.
"I'm scared, E. I'm actually terrified."
Ethan tightens his hold around you and kiss your forehead. The both of you lying down on your bed after a movie and an argument with the group.
"Ghostface wants us, he probably wants me, too! I don't wanna die, not like this. And the group... They want to separate you from me. You're my only support. Don't leave."
"I won't leave you." He whispers in your ear. "I'd never leave you. Nobody'll ever separate you from me. We'll be together forever. I'll protect you from everything."
According to Mindy, Ethan was the main suspect. When the first attack occurred, he wasn't here. Everyone got hurt, and Anika...
A wave of sadness overcome you and you feel your eyes water again.
"Love..." Ethan whispers, concern in his voice.
His thumbs caress your cheek while a weak smile makes his way to your face. The first attack was so unexpected, nobody was ready.
You even got hurt, too. Ghostface plunged his knife into your thigh. The hit was directed towards Sam but, trying to push her away, you fell and got hurt instead of her. Badly. You'll never regret it though.
Ethan's hand goes down your shoulders, to your hips to finally settle on your thigh. Where your stitches remains. He does not put his palms directly on it since the scar is really fresh and not healed yet. But his hand was still close to it. He was feeling guilty ever since he saw you with Chad near the ambulance. He was blaming himself.
"It's not your fault, E." You say.
-Yes, it is. I should have been here.
-But you weren't. It's useless to think of what you could have done. I'm alive. That's what matters."
You feel water running down your head. A single drop. A tear. Ethan is crying. You take Ethan's hand which is on your thigh and move it to your hip. Your good leg sneak its way in between his. While the hurt one goes above them to frame him. But not too far in case you worsen your stitches by stretching it. Both of your arms go under his. Your chest is glued to his.
"It's my fault.
-It's Ghostface's fault. He's the one who attacked me. Not you."
Ethan stays silent. His hand caress your back slowly and you do the same for him. Both of you comforting each other in the almost religious silence of the room. Some cars could faintly be heard outside but you were not paying attention to them.
In this hug, you were protecting each other. You were telling him how much you loved him, how much you were grateful. While Ethan was telling you that everything would be fine. He was so worried... You were happy he had econ. You don't know what you would have done if you saw him get hurt. He's the only one who understands you. The last thing you want is to see him in danger.
"You're risking your live by staying with me, you know ?" You talk with a shaky voice. You were getting emotional again just by thinking of what could happen.
"I'm sure Ghostface won't hurt you. How could he kill someone as pretty as you?"
"That's not funny, E. I'm really scared.
"I know but I swear to you, from now on, I'll always be by your side."
You nod, burying your face in his chest. Your arms tighten around him. You feel him tense for a second. Worried, you look up at him to just see him smiling, all softened, at you. He was so pretty. How could the others ever think of him as a criminal ? He was the one massaging your back when you were tired. He was the one cuddling you when you were sad. He was the one litteraly apologizing to chairs when he bumped into them. He was the one crying watching romantics movies ! How could he kill someone?
"Did I hurt you?" You ask.
-No, love. Why?" He whispers back.
You took time to respond, chilling in the pretty silence of the room where all you could hear were your two breath. It was hot but a nice hotness. A calming one. It made you sleepy, you who had sleep issue.
"Your body contracted when I touched you.
-It's nothing..."
Still worried, you move in the bed. Your back now facing him. He's whining, missing your body close already. You grab your phone and quicky return under the blanket. This time though, your head goes underneath. With the flashlight of your phone, you move up his shirt and look at where you touched moment prior. Ethan sighs.
"I told you it's nothing."
But you ignore him and go back to the surface. Meeting his accustomed yet loving gaze.
"Did your hurt yourself? You have a bruise on your hip."
He laughs nervously, as if embarrassed. His big hands takes a good hold of your hips before moving you up until you're face to face. He then hides his face in your neck. He loved doing that, manhandling you. You never understood why. He sighs once in the comfort of your body.
"I bumped into the corner of the table yesterday."
You had doubts.
"You're not hiding something from me, right ?"
But Ethan never doubted himself.
"What ? You think I'm Ghostface, too?" He said in a ironical tone, knowing damn well he won already.
You were not laughing. You would never dare doubt your boyfriend like that. The only reason you asked that was because you were scared he got into a fight or simply hurt himself bad. It happens, after all. Never would the thought he was a murderer even cross your mind. So you push him away from you a little to see his face. Not even a shadow of a smile on your face.
"Don't say that. Even for a joke. You know it makes me angry. I don't like them saying that. You're not Ghostface. I think I'd knew it well if you were a damn serial killer." You said, gritting your teeth, your hands clenching around his shirt.
-Well, I don't like them saying that either. Plus, they imply that you'd be stupid enough to be in a relationship with someone you barely know. But you're not stupid. And we know each other. You're the cleverest person in the damn world.
The subject changed and you didn't even notice.
-I am stupid sometimes, though. There is lot of things that I don't notice. Like when that guy was following me home. If it weren't for you I'd be dead.
-And that's why I'm here.
It was his duty, after all. To protect you.
-But Ghostface is not just a creepy guy in an alley. He's much more dangerous Ethan. And he wants me dead. He wants me.
-Of course he wants you my love, you're so pretty. Everyone want you.
You move away from his embrace and stare at him angrily. You had already told him not to joke like that and he was still doing it. Your eyes were swollen and your cheeks were dry. Contradictory with the long minutes you spent wetting them.
-Seriously Ethan, don't joke on that subject. It's making me uncomfortable. Anika is dead because of that guy. I don't want to laugh.
You cringed internally mentioning your friend. Fuck, she wasn't even related to the group that much. She was new, like Ethan. Why was she targeted ?
-I'm joking on it because I know nothing will happen to you. You're safe with me." He was smiling. A reassuring smile. One you could pour all your trust in.
You could never stay mad at Ethan anyway. Less in a situation like this. You needed support. And your friends didn't want him around. You only had him to dry your tears.
"I don't want you to get hurt." You said, entering back your safe place: his arms.
"I already told you. I won't. I'm staying here until you are safe.
-And the group? Chad, Mindy, Sam and Tara ? What about them?
-I'm sure they'll be fine. Even if they threw you out of their house...
-They didn't throw me out of the house, Ethan. I know you don't like them but they're my friends. They're scared too, you have to understand that.
-Okay, I understand. But if I wasn't here, you would have been all alone. They shouldn't have kicked you out in a situation like this."
You found nothing to answer this time. Because it was true. If he wasn't here, you'd be alone. They didn't kick you out, you left with Ethan because you were angry with their accusatory remarks towards him. But still, no one tried to call you. To know how you were doing. To even check if you were alive. And realizing that, you start crying again. You were so sensitive since Anika's death. You were truly in edge. You were happy Ethan was here.
"I'm alone E. I'm so fucking alone..." You realized.
-No, of course not. You're not alone. I'm here. I'd die for you. I'll protect you. Nothing will ever harm you as long as I'm here. You'll always be seen with me by your side. I'll marry you one day. You know that?"
You weren't listening anymore. You were remembering every memory you had with your friends. Searching a way to come back to them, to regain their trust. You needed them, they were your dear friends. Maybe you were dramatic but you had every right to be. And Ethan was right. They had left you alone to die by Ghostface. They had left you knowing you were a target. But you loved them, you couldn't resent them.
"We'll live a life where you won't need anyone but me. And I won't need anyone but you. A house secluded where no one can come. After all of this is done, we'll be together."
Ethan was smiling. But you couldn't see it.
