Me Reading Straight Up Pornography: Hmm… This One Just Doesn’t Have Enough Accurate Character Psychoanalysis

Summary: You become a regular at the restaurant and catch Richie’s eye.

You walk into the restaurant during the dinner rush. This is your fifth time coming in since you discovered this place. It’s a bit chaotic but in oddly weird way it’s comforting. You go up to the counter to place an order for a beef sandwich when someone cuts in front of you. You’re not really one for confrontation so you’re just going to leave it be.

Richie however noticed what happened and points to you and says, “Sweetheart, you want your usual?”

The person who cut in front of you starts to protest saying they’re next but Richie cuts them off. He looks at you and says, “Beef sandwich right?”

You nod. “Yeah. Um, yes please.”

Richie then looks at the person who cut you, “I don’t like people who think they’re more important than others. Now what can I get you?”

You move to the side and pull out your phone as you wait for your order. After Richie is done taking a couple more orders he leans on the counter by you and smirks. “You’re becoming a regular here. Is it the food or my charm?”

You put your phone away and look up at him. “A little bit of both.” You smile as you watch his reaction, which is a bit surprised and impressed.

Richie nods. “I knew it.” He slides your bag across the counter. “Enjoy.”

You take your bag and find a seat. As you eat, you steal some glances at Richie who seems to be doing the same thing to you. When you stand to head out Richie calls out to you, “See you later darling.” You give him a smile and a short wave as you walk out the door.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

The time you stop by next you show a bit of your clumsy side. As you walk down the sidewalk heading towards the restaurant, you trip on an uneven part of the sidewalk. You go down hard. “Ow.” You look at your elbow, which has a trickle of blood.

“Hey! You good?” You look up to see Richie walking up to you. When he reaches you he holds his hand out to help you stand. “You pick a fight with the sidewalk?”

You let out a short laugh. “Something like that.” You hiss as you straightened out you arm. Richie sees your elbow and frowns.

He takes your arm and inspects the damage. “Doesn’t seem too bad, but we need to clean this up.”

“We?” You say as Richie leads you to the restaurant.

“Yeah, we. I take care of my regulars.” He leads you to the back of the restaurant and takes out a first aide kit. “This might sting.” He takes some antiseptic spray and sprays your elbow. You try to hide your flinch but Richie catches it. “Sorry. Almost done sweetheart.” He takes a bandaid and places it on your elbow. “There. Good as new.”

“Thanks. You didn’t have to help, but it’s appreciated.”

“No problem. Anything for one of my favorites.” Richie leads you to the front of the restaurant. “Want your usual? It’s on the house since you almost risked your life getting here.”

You laugh. “Sure. That’s sweet of you.”

He waves you off. “Keep that to yourself. I got a reputation to uphold here. Find a spot I’ll bring it out to you when it’s ready,” You nod and find a booth in the corner. A few minutes later Richie brings you your sandwich, “Enjoy.” He goes back to work behind the counter, glancing over at you several times making sure you’re good. When you stand to head out you hear him call after you, “Stay safe out there. Don’t want to dig out the first aide kit again.” You shake your head and wave as you walk out of the restaurant.

Eros & Psyche: A Dieter Bravo Story (complete - series masterlist)

Dieter Bravo x f!reader

Rating: Over 18’s only please

Summary: Dieter is a modern day Greek God Eros. We’re going full existential dread rom-com, actually.

Header quote: By Marsad Aurangzeb

Series content: Vaguely inspired by the Greek myth of Eros & Psyche, soul mates, yearning, emotional torment, drugs and alcohol references, lots of swears, slow burn, discussions of death and mental health, eventual smut. Dieter is a walking red flag. Reader is named (Psyche) but physical descriptions are minimal. Time is meaningless but also always marching on. Lots of Dieter POV. Fleabag coded.

A/N: What is it about Dieter Bravo that makes me want to write emotional torment? I love him, yet I must torture him apparently. This started off as a bit of a modern retelling of the Eros & Psyche myth, but really it’s just my take on what the Greek god of love would be like if he was our beloved trash panda Dieter Bravo and reader was his soulmate, Psyche. I really, really hope that you like it, I’d love to hear your thoughts!

more boys should rub themselves thru their pants, especially when I’m making out with them. They should also moan. Show me how bad you’re aching for me to touch you. I know you can’t control yourself, but it’s okay, I’ll take care of you

need to be richie jerimovich's age inappropriate girlfriend ☹️

So I just saw a quote from the Russo’s and they basically said “He dropped the shield, he rejected the Captain America identity, and embraced the Steve Rogers one instead.” I, of course, started sobbing at this part, but when I read this quote it all became more clear.

When Tony says “I was wrong about you, the whole world was wrong about you” is 100% true. The whole world, even his friends, saw Steve as this selfless, patriotic hero, willing to save the day no matter what. But that’s not necessarily all Steve, that’s mostly Captain America. Yes, Steve is incredibly selfless and brave, but he was also just a kid from Brooklyn before getting the Cap persona. When he went under, he essentially lost everyone who knew him as “just steve” not “Captain America”.

So when Bucky comes back in his life, he’s more Steve Rogers. “When he said Bucky, I was the 16 year old kid from Brooklyn again.” Steve doesn’t have to be Captain America around Bucky. Steve doesn’t have to be this hero that everyone needs him to be. Because Bucky would rather be saved by Steve Rogers than Captain America.

Steve dropped the shield, rejected the idea of Captain America, because in reality, he isn’t just “Captain America,” he’s also Steve Rogers. And that scrawny kid from Brooklyn would do anything to save his best friend, even if that meant rejecting what the world saw him as.
