I just came across this story by chance and it is written beautifully!
— summary: You woke up near a military camp without remembering how and why you got there, you didn’t understand why they were dressed like ancient Greeks, all you knew was that you weren’t safe and you needed to get out of that place as soon as possible. Too bad for you that you found yourself attracting unwanted attention from the Macedonian King and he won’t let you go so easily.
— genre: yandere, dark!au.
— warnings: time travel, obsessive and possessive behavior, murder, mention of torture, kidnapping, angst, fluffy (very rarely), dub-con, possibly smut.
— pairing: yandere!alexander the great x female!reader, yandere!generals x female!reader
— word count: 686.
— chapter 1; chapter 2; chapter 3; chapter 4;
Your heart was pounding fast inside your chest, your breath wasted as you ran desperately across the desert of Gedrosia. It didn’t matter that you were going to die of sunstroke, thirst or hunger, you wanted to escape. You desperately wanted to leave this place, run away from the people who were chasing you and didn’t seem to want to leave you alone from the moment you woke up bewildered in this… World, at this time.
Your only advantage at this point was distance, but you knew they would catch up to you eventually. Your back ached and was still dried with blood from the punishment he had meted out after your last escape attempt. He thought that way you’d learn not to challenge him again, but he didn’t seem to know you weren’t the quitting type.
You wouldn’t give him the taste of victory. He wouldn’t have you, at least not alive.
You groaned in pain and frustration as your legs gave out and you fell into the hot desert area. You looked around and all you saw was blue sky and sand and more sand. You were lost.
Tears of frustration fell from your eyes and wet your chiton. You knew you should stop crying and save what was left of liquid inside your body, but you couldn’t. Months of despair, terror and witnessing the atrocities committed came to your mind and your eyes were filled with tears. He did this to you. They did this to you.
You hated him, you hated them all. It didn’t matter that they were kind and welcoming to you at first, a complete stranger, none of that mattered because they ruined you. They could have fed you, given you clothes and a bed when you were lost but that didn’t matter anymore… Not after everything you went through, what you experienced in those months with them.
You tried to get up but your legs ached and your bare feet burned when you tried to stand. A snarl escaped your lips and with a lot of effort you went back to walking through the vastness that surrounded you. You would die. You were sure of it, if not for the desert at his hand.
You preferred the first option. Even if dying of thirst, hunger, heat or cold is bad… You knew you were better than you dared to think about what they would do as soon as they laid their hands on your body. Fuck, you’d rather rot than allow yourself to be touched by him again. He would never lay hands on you again, you mentally swore to yourself.
You cursed the heavens as you felt your vision darken, your body weak and in need of sustenance. You knew you couldn’t walk any further, your legs burned with every step you took and your vision grew darker and darker.
Your eyes struggled to open when you heard the sounds of horses approaching and you cursed yourself and kept trying to walk, but it was too painful. He was close. You screamed in frustration as your body gave out and you were forced to sit on the hot sands. You couldn’t go any further, you didn’t have the strength.
Your tears fell once more as the noise of voices and horses approached you.
“That was it,” you thought as you choked on your tears. You prayed to whatever gods were listening but your prayers went unanswered. Your eyes closed as you felt a horse neigh loudly behind you and then its rider descended. Your skin shivered as he touched you, taking your aching body in his arms.
“I found you.” He purred, touching your face gently with his callused, battle-scarred hands.
You didn’t respond and just let him carry you on his lap and you didn’t even react when he forced you to mount the stallion in front of you and you ignored the presence of his generals. Those who were once like your friends.
He would always find you. Alexander the Great would never let you go. He would never let his Queen escape.
— lady l: so this was the prologue to a fanfic I’ll be writing about one of the greatest conquerors in history. I will take historical liberties in that, nothing here will be historically accurate all the time. I hope you like it and feel free to give feedback or if you just want to talk about the fanfic or anything else. If you want to be tagged just ask, love you all and take care! ❤️
Absolutely stunning
Upon the moonrise and dips of obelisk dreams,
Where dreamers sigh and liars crumble in their wake,
Only to fall into retribution of a calling deep within the darkening space.
We humble the abode in which the shadow sleeps
And corrupts the kindness of the host— clawing at rubies and obsidian stones with which we decorate our own carapace.
A sleeping coffin deep within demolition and receive, cast out our own for the glory of a thousand suns,
Falling but never breaking, ever suffering but never screaming as not to urge him further into insanity.
Take note of the blackened seas and overflow of constant continuity of mortality
Cause of menace and affinity within, conquering stones and drowning rulers apart from sinners upon saints,
Partake in the madness that once plagued the people, to dance in the song with which the devil had treaded.
Corrupt him and the beast, kill the brother and take away his soul for the shadows to take his shell.
Dearest Heroes, you'll never be good as he.

I’ve always had the HC that Hawks always had a soft spot for kids
Hawks HC: He has a secret inner child that is just waiting to be let free. He essentially was trained as a child soldier after all. Take this man to an amusement park, bouncy castle, McDonald's Playland, anything fun he's just absorb it.
Do you want to tear my heart apart, don't you? 😭😭😭
His childhood was literally took away from him, everything that a child enjoys and needs to do, he didn't. So this man would get excited over small things, things that usually kids get excited at. Just imagine him at an amusement park "oh my god look at that! Let's go there!" And he grabs your hand and basically drags you somewhere. "Can we eat this?" Shaped waffles, probably a popular cartoon character. Or, damn idk how these things you put in your head are called, but they are very popular in Disney for example, the Micky Mouse ears(?) Well, Hawks in those JDSJSJ and he'd like to buy every souvenir and take pictures😂
To be honest, I love childishs Keigo, it is one of my favorites🥺💕
