【Meta】错综复杂: 缺少女性配对同人的可能原因

Summary:

一张图表说明了人们对我的AO3配对数据调查中缺乏女性配对同人的所有可能的解释,以及它们之间可能的相互联系方式。

Chapter 1

一张图表说明了人们对我的AO3配对数据调查中缺乏女性配对同人的所有可能的解释,以及它们可能的相互联系方式。

注意: 并非所有这些理论都是正确的,但是下面的描述是认为它们是准确的。

缺少女性角色。

不幸的是,很难找到一部有一个有趣而复杂的女性角色的电视剧,更不用说有两个了。如果没有原始材料,同人小说作家们就没有出发点。

缺乏女性关系。

女性很少被允许在屏幕上以一种有意义的方式与其他人互动;甚至当她们非常亲密的时候,通过贝克德尔测试的作品也很少,长期的化学反应更是罕见。女女关系没有许多男女关系和男男关系那样的火花。

缺乏令人喜欢的动态关系。

角色之间有几种动态关系——亲密的友谊、竞争性的对手等——更有可能被视为嗑得动的。在原始材料中,这些动态关系更有可能存在于男性角色之间。

强制异性恋。

在媒体上,男人被允许可以只专注于他们的事业或使命,但女人必须想要关系。绝大多数的女性角色都有官方异性恋情,这突然使女女配对成为正作剧情的机会变得渺茫。

异性恋女人喜欢帅哥。

大多数同人小说的作者们都是异性恋女性,她们想写一些关于帅哥的故事,写得越多越好。女性角色们不吸引她们。

内化的厌女症。

粉丝圈中的女性对女性角色的评价要严苛得多,因为内在的性别主义看法,而男性角色则被置于崇高的地位。

离家太近了。

大多数同人小说的作者都是女性,写关于女性角色的同人小说迫使她们面对诸如身体形象、日常生活中的性别歧视等令她们痛苦的问题。写男性角色是一种逃避现实的形式,并且允许以一种不那么个人化的方式来处理这些问题。

没有已经存在的读者。

即使在早期的粉丝圈中已经有一群已经建立的男男配对粉丝在寻找潜在的新配对,并提供了一个固定的读者群。女女配对的粉丝基础较小,而且接收速度较慢。

对作者的支持更少。

提供给新手女性配对作者的写作资源很少;作者们很难寻求建议,做相关的研究和发展ta们的风格。

更严厉的批评。

女性配对同人的反馈意见比男男配对同人的反馈意见更具批判性,也更令初出茅庐的作者失望。

很难找到同人。

由于女性配对同人一开始就比较少见,潜在的作者更不可能遇到合适的配对,这使得ta们更难发现新的女女配对或者研究ta们已经感兴趣的配对。

一场新的运动。女女配对直到90年代才起步。它比男男配对运动落后了几十年,并且仍在探索中。

运动失去了动力。

在战士公主西娜和吸血鬼猎人巴菲的鼎盛时期,有大量的女性角色出现,但在这些节目结束后,粉丝们就无处可去了。如果你想要女女配对同人,你需要找到一个旧的档案馆。

AO3 是有偏见的。

外面还有很多女性配对同人,但AO3不是一个可以找到它们的地方。它仍然处于早期阶段,最初的同人转移模式已经导致档案比一般的粉丝圈更不成比例地偏爱男性配对。

超流行的粉丝圈偏见。

这里有一些粉丝圈——BBC版《神探夏洛克》《邪恶力量》《少狼》等——它们的粉丝基数比一般的要大得多,通常拥有的粉丝数量是AO3上一般粉丝圈数量的十到二十倍。因为这些粉丝圈通常集中在一个或两个男性配对上,他们歪曲了那个方向的总结果。

较少以文字为中心。

尽管接受其他类型的同人作品,但AO3主要是一个同人小说档案馆。与其他媒介相比,如同人图或饭制视频,女性配对船员更少写同人,这导致档案馆的作品数量明显更少。

西方媒体是有偏见的。

女性配对在受欢迎的西方电视和电影业中代表性不足。在非西方或者非英语的粉丝圈中有更多的粉丝,但是这些在AO3上的粉丝基础要少得多。

没有副配对。

正剧(通常是男女)配对和流行的配对更有可能在同人里被当做副配对。Ta们标签下的许多同人几乎没有带这对CP,但ta们给人的印象是这配对比实际上更受欢迎。

Chapter Management

Chapter 2: 对过于简单化的回应

针对试图将图表简化为一个或两个方面的回答趋势的回应。

Notes:

原文发表于2013年8月31日。

你真的没听懂我的意思。

首先,看到带有所有箭头的大而复杂的图形了吗?这将是我的说法,这是一个大的复杂的问题,每件事都有助于其他一切。现在,我并不是说没有什么特定的因素比这个更重要,甚至有些因素是完全错误的——但是我不认为用一两个方框代替这个图表是朝着理解的方向迈出的一步。

其次,这也是我感到奇怪的地方——为什么会有那么多人(很抱歉把你们挑出来了)在博客上转发这篇文章,说“我认为归根结底是[x ]”——挑出来的每一个因素都是粉丝们作为一个整体无能为力的。

因为我特意把可以改变的东西包括在里面。作为一个社区,女性配对粉丝圈可以让女女配对同人更容易获得,为创作者提供更多的支持,为那些发展他们技能的人提供更多的反馈。但相反,每个人似乎都选择坐在那里说“好吧,我们没什么可写的”或者“好吧,那是因为其他女粉丝都讨厌女性角色”或者“好吧,那是因为粉丝圈里全是异性恋女人[需要引文] ,我们无能为力。”

去他的。不要告诉我事情就是这样的。这不是没有办法解决的事

【Meta】AO3配对统计:我们期待什么?

Summary:

对于 AO3配对统计数据的一个普遍反应是,由于媒体中的大多数角色都是白人男性,所以白人男性之间的配对数量是可以预料的。这里是关于这种说法的调查。

Notes:

译自centreoftheselights太太的AO3 Ship Stats系列,旨在为中文同人圈唤起一些关注度,原作者最初发布于2015年8月2日。

对于 AO3配对统计数据的一个普遍反应是,由于媒体中的大多数角色都是白人男性,所以白人男性之间的配对数量是可以预料的。这里有一些关于这种说法的调查。

结果

来自2015年统计数据的配对可分为以下几类(性别或种族不明确的角色分别为两种可能类别贡献了50% 的概率) :

[图片转写:

X– 白人配对 – 白人/有色人种配对– 有色人种配对 – 全部
男男- 55.0 – 9.5 – 5.5 – 70
男女 – 19.8 – 6.0 – 0.3 – 26
女女 – 1.3 – 2.5 – 0.3 – 4
全部 – 76 – 18 – 6 – 100]

X-白人配对 -白人/有色人种配对-有色人种配对-全部 男男-55.0-9.5-5.5-70 男女-19.8-6.0-0.3-26 女女-1.3-2.5-0.3-4 全部-76-18-6-100]

首先,我想把这些统计数据与给定的每一行和每一列的相同比例的 “随机”分布进行比较,以查看每个类别中的任何偏差。

[图片转写:

X- 白人配对  – 白人/有色人种配对 – POC – All
男男 – 53.2 – 12.6 – 4.2 – 70
男女 – 19.8 – 4.7 – 1.6 – 26
女女 – 3.0 – 0.7 – 0.2 – 4
全部 – 76 – 18 – 6 – 100]

X-白人配对 -白人/有色人种配对-有色人种配对-All 男男-53.2-12.6-4.2-70 男女-19.8-4.7-1.6-26 女女-3.0-0.7-0.2-4 全部-76-18-6-100]

只有两个类别——白人男女配对和有色人种女女配对——具有预期的值。与预期值相比,还有三个类别在数据中的代表性不足——白人女女配对、 有色人种男女配对和 白人/有色人种男男配对。其他四个类别-白人男男配对,有色人种男男配对和白人/有色人种男女配对和女女配对出现在数据中比想象的要多。

人口普查数据

AO3上的大多数粉丝圈都是基于在美国制作的电视剧或电影,所以我接下来将这些信息与美国人口普查数据进行了比较。美国人口普查数据显示,63%的美国人是非西班牙裔白人(AO3配对统计数据使用的分类)(来源)。我假设50%的人口是男性,50%是女性。

假设在粉丝圈里,每个人都被所有人所吸引,不论种族或性别,我们期待以下分布:

[图片转写:

X– 白人配对 – 白人/有色人种配对– 有色人种配对 – 全部
男男 – 9.9 – 11.7 – 3.4 – 25
男女 – 19.8 – 23.3 – 6.8 – 50
女女 – 9.9 – 11.7 – 3.4 – 25
全部 – 39.7 – 46.6 – 13.7 – 100]

X-白人配对 -白人/有色人种配对-有色人种配对 -All 男男-9.9-11.7-3.4-25 男女-19.8-23.3-6.8-50 女女-9.9-11.7-3.4-25全部-39.7-46.6-13.7-100]

与这一预测相比,实际数据包含的白人男男配对比预期多45对,白人女女配对、有色人种男女配对和白人/有色人种男女和女女类型配对明显少于预期。

电视之地

然而,正如许多人指出的那样,在电视节目中选角并不一定反映真实的人口。在电视上,主要角色是71%的男性(来源)和76%的白人(来源)。再次假设配对是按照性别和种族随机分配的,预期的分布是:

[图片转写:

X– 白人配对 – 白人/有色人种配对– 有色人种配对 – 全部
男男 – 29.1 – 18.4 – 2.9 – 50.4
男女 – 23.8 – 15.0 – 2.4 – 41.2
女女 – 4.9 – 3.1 – 0.5 – 8.4
全部 – 57.8 – 36.5 – 5.8 – 100]

X-白人配对 -白人/有色人种配对-有色人种配对 -全部 男男-29.1-18.4-2.9-50.4 男女-23.8-15.0-2.4-41.2 女女-4.9-3.1-0.5-8.4全部-57.8-36.5-5.8-100]

虽然更接近实际数据,但这仍然只能预测白人男男配对的实际值的一半左右。实际数据中最缺乏的类别是白人/有色人种(混合种族)配对和男女配对,尽管女女配对也比预测的少。

结论

总而言之,粉丝们喜欢白人男男配对的倾向只能部分地归因于选角时的偏见。AO3配对统计对白人男男配对的偏爱高于所有预测,大部分差异来自于男女配对和混合种族配对。

【Meta】2013年AO3配对统计:厌女症?

摘要:一篇关于统计数据在多大程度上可以归因于粉丝和/或创作者性别主义的文章。

Notes:

译自centreoftheselights太太的AO3 Ship Stats系列,旨在为中文同人圈唤起一些关注度,原作者最初发布于2013年8月18日。

所以,我有我的数据。我知道大多数流行配对是 m/m,包括 f/m 和 f/f 的配对在内,并且f/m 和 f/f更有可能是正典配对,而这些配对更有可能被标记为副配对

所以,这是性别歧视,对吧?

嗯,是的,可能是。但事情没有那么简单。

我认为可以有把握地说,考虑到这种不平等的程度,有一个或多个强有力的系统性原因可以解释为什么m/m 船在 AO3上比任何涉及女性的配对都更受欢迎,而且,是的,其中很多可能根源于厌恶女性的态度。很难说为什么粉丝们会这么做,但是我有一些想法。

几乎可以肯定,这种现象并不是因为大部分的粉丝圈成员主动决定ta们厌女,并且永远不会写关于她们的文章。当然,在任何一个大群体中都会有少数充满仇恨的人,但如果这种程度的影响仅存在于ta们之中,那我会非常惊讶。而且不止有点害怕。

更有可能的原因是,已经存在一种男男配对文化,这种文化对于其他类型的配对来说通常是很难找到的,特别是女性配对。同人作品的主要配对有固定的读者群,并得到更多的反馈,这使它们一直保持顶级配对地位。

但是,当然,有一个问题是,男男配对为什么经常成为粉丝圈的主宰,这就是问题所在。不可能确切地用一个理由解释一个人船ta所支持的配对。说所有的粉丝都只对“漂亮的白人男孩”感兴趣是过于简单化了,因为ta们觉得他们很有魅力——至少从我自己在粉丝圈的经历来看,这显然是不真实的。(我认识的粉丝中大多数都不是顺性别异性恋女性。)“内化的厌女症!”也不是一切问题的答案。

但事实上,粉丝们确实通常把注意力集中在有魅力的白人男性身上,这显然不是错误的说法。当然,好吧——正典也是如此。虽然我们可以从一个角色身上读到比原始素材更多的东西,但这并不是每个人做事的方式。当男性角色被最深入地发展——超过一半的角色神秘地未被发展——他们成为粉丝们的目标就不足为奇了。

还有一种模糊的趋势,即流行的配对常常落入原作中数量有限的原型中——柏拉图式的灵魂伴侣、互相痴迷于对方的竞争者、暗中关心彼此的好争论的同事。人们有自己的最爱,并且更喜欢类似动态的配对,这并不奇怪。而且,虽然这些原型通常没有固有的性别,往往很少看到一个女性角色符合这些形象。

但是这些都不意味着 f/f 配对是不存在的。毫无疑问,在某些粉丝圈中f/f是最受欢迎的配对——它们在今年AfterEllen’sfemslash madness大赛*获得数百万张选票。但这些配对似乎并不像m/m配对那样吸引那么多人。为什么以女性为中心的粉丝圈似乎比男性配对粉丝圈小得多?

(*注:AfterEllen Ultimate Femslash MadnessTournament,由AfterElton.com受到启发,是一个女女配对粉丝发起的f/f配对投票大赛,让粉丝们为自己喜欢的非正剧女性配对CP投票)

当然,也有可能是 AO3的一些东西使得结果产生了偏差。但这是另外一系列的问题。AO3只存在了几年,并且没有包括多更老的粉丝圈——女性配对粉丝圈在过去的几年里消失了吗?或者,如果f/f粉丝仍活跃,并在其他地方发帖,那么为什么她们似乎不觉得在一个流行的多粉丝圈档案馆受到欢迎?

很容易说“人们应该写更多的f/m和f/f同人,然后这就不成问题了”,但这不公平。人们应该写ta们想写的东西。但有一些原因可以解释为什么如此多的粉丝想要写 m/m,这是一个值得研究的问题,无论是作为一种普遍趋势,还是作为一个个人反思的话题。

不幸的是,我花在这个主题上的时间已经到此为止了,但是如果有人有任何想法或者希望使用我的数据来进一步探索这个主题,欢迎叫上我。

【Meta】如果我们允许,女性配对同人(Femslash)可以拯救世界

​​原作者:KATE ,于2014.7.29发表在https://www.autostraddle.com/femslash-can-save-the-world-if-we-let-it-246684/

孤独的怪人心

在我13岁的时候,我父母决定给家里装上拨号上网。

这可能是我成年前生活中第二有影响力的事情,第一件事情是女孩在青春期后期变得非常漂亮。在互联网上,尽管下载一个图片文件需要花费整整十分钟,而且播放视频的概念似乎是不可能的,我还是找到了自己

你觉得这听起来很疯狂,也许是因为你有健康正常的情绪和适应良好的社交生活,与此同时,大人们告诉你你正在“成为一个女人”。但如果你有个Livejournal*账号,并且痴迷于精灵语或者怪兽电影或者其他一些奇怪又不酷的东西,让你的同学对你保持警惕,那么你就完全明白我的意思。互联网出现了,我们这些傻瓜们找到了彼此。一个世界范围内的终极极客网络形成了,一个由孤独的怪人组成的社区,真她妈美好。

(*注:Livejournal,一个在1999年成立的虚拟写作互联网社区,较早的大量同人作者聚集地,后因大规模无预警关闭数百名发布同人创作用户的账号而导致用户流失,并最终导致粉丝自行成立AO3)

你可以说,我已经寻找自己很长时间了,在典型美国女孩的思想中探寻,在不断变化的青春期前女孩小集团的政治中打探,在我牙医办公室里《十七岁》杂志里寻找,把最讨人喜欢的部分应用在我自己身上。似乎没有什么真的适合我。然后我发现了互联网,在一个专门讨论在中学会让你成为被霸凌对象的奇怪东西的论坛里,你可以在一天中的任何时候和一个人交谈(一个真实的人!!)。而这个人(一个真实的人!!)和你一样痴迷于这种奇怪东西,以至于这个人写了关于这怪东西的故事,P了图,并在论坛上分享这些故事和图片。我特别着迷于这些故事,因为我已经写过这些故事,长长的、史诗般的、糟糕幻想故事,而我曾经认为没有其他人会像我一样会写这些长长的、史诗般的糟糕故事。

直到17岁我才发现女性配对同人(femslash)。我不记得确切的时间了,但我记得确切的船:金妮·韦斯莱和潘西·帕金森。我注意到金妮和潘西在一起时比和哈利在一起时更快乐,更有活力,就像十几岁的我注意到我讨厌和男孩在一起,但在女孩面前却容光焕发一样。实际上,你可以通过我阅读和写作的同人小说来追踪我性取向的演化:我对自己的超级姬的生活越是舒适,我的书架就越姬,包括同人。

回顾过去,我通过虚构的人物来接受自己的经历和身份危机是件很自然的事情,尤其是当我掌控着她们的命运的时候。我在媒体上找不到足够多的有女性恋人、脱颖而出的女同性恋并且没有自杀*,但在互联网上,女性配对同人给我的不仅仅是一个酷儿角色,而且还能活到故事的结尾。女性配对同人角色们得以兴起,活下来,并拥有混乱的、美丽的爱。我终于看到了我不知道自己可以拥有的幸福结局。

(*注:指“Bury YourGays” trope,女同性恋角色和双性恋角色因为他们的性取向而必须死亡或有一个不幸福的结局。)
女性配对同人:这些东西成真的地方。

一段简史:在别人的沙箱里玩耍(又名把沙子运到另一个现实,质疑沙子的重要性,沙子到底是什么,为什么你的沙子看起来不像我的沙子,等等)

(注:在别人的沙箱里玩耍指通过创作同人作品来分享别人的创造力/知识产权: 同人作品、角色扮演、动画、扫描、rpg、同人作品、同人电影等等。)

勃朗特姐妹过去常常撰写史诗般的奇幻故事,讲述一个现实生活中的公爵和他的儿子们,只是因为她们可以。她们把角色塑造成英雄壮汉,有着非人的壮举,可能是因为她们是百无聊赖的少女,而世界不允许她们太有创造力、太疯狂或者太性狂热。

学者们认为《星际迷航》是创造了我们今天所知的同人小说粉丝圈(fandom),这并不奇怪,考虑到科幻小说作为一种流派不断在自身基础上发展和交流,是一种向后延伸同时也向未来发展,放弃线性运动的文学运动。同人小说最初是在同好杂志中发展起来的,但是这些出版物只在内部社群中流通,对于那些粉丝圈外的人来说仍然是相对陌生的。

现在,越来越多的人知道同人小说,可能让我们这些曾经把自己的故事藏在父母电脑上的隐秘标题文件中,以便没有人,没有任何一个人,可以发现它们的人略感惊恐。截至2008年,同人小说占互联网上与书籍相关内容的三分之一。众所周知,《五十度灰》改编自著名的《暮光之城》同人小说,就像《骸骨之城》系列改编自著名的《哈利·波特》同人小说一样。乔治·R·R·马丁说过他强烈反对同人小说,认为它是盗版(但是请尽可能写完玫瑰珊*的轮滑赛AU同人吧,操他的)。其他作家容忍它,并似乎对它有一定的兴趣,如果不是有时对它的创作充满热情的话。

(*注:《冰与火之歌》里的玛格丽·提利尔/珊莎·史塔克)

电视制片人和电影制作人经常被问到最奇怪或者最差的同人小说,这些小说都是受ta们的作品启发而创作的,这是大多数有良知的同人粉丝都害怕的问题。消息不灵通的记者们不断撰写关于同人小说不准确的文章,并谈论它现在是多么“酷”。不,它现在绝对不酷,因为如果它很酷的话,你就不会翻出俄亥俄州一个12岁的可怜女孩为了熬过7年级可怕的现实而写的所有可怕故事,并让她最喜欢的女演员在接受《走进好莱坞》的采访时大声读出来。实话实说,操你的。

所有这一切都表明,大多数人现在都熟悉同人小说,即使ta们实际上从未读过任何同人小说。ta们对同人小说的概念很可能植根于主流媒体敢于承认的例子,主要是那些最容易让人发笑或者觉得尴尬的作品。如果你从来没有访问过像我们自己的档案这样的网站,你可能会认为同人小说过于色情,写得很糟,或者饱受作者的影响。所有这些东西都是存在的,而且它们并不像人们所描述的那样糟糕。事实上,有人可能会争辩说,它们都是非常必要和正当的,否则作者就不会觉得有必要写它们并与世界分享。

嗯,我想知道是什么让我们觉得有必要创作?

同人小说,毕竟是关于强烈的冲动的。同人小说作者的作品没有得到报酬,即使它比大多数小说都长,读者数以千计。ta们永远不能以营利为目的出版ta们的作品,至少不能以原始形式出版。作为作家,即使ta们非常多产,ta们也是相对匿名的,因为(99.9% 的时间里)ta们只用网络用户名发表作品。

最有趣的是,同人小说不仅仅是关于延续流行的叙事。同人小说几乎完全基于关系,或“配对”。这就是为什么同人小说网站不仅仅根据同人小说来划分作品,而是根据关系划分作品,更具体地说是根据关系的取向划分作品。我认为同人小说的作者并不只是痴迷于原作,ta们真的痴迷于爱情、亲吻、做爱以及随之而来的复杂的“ta们是否愿意”。被认为是“大众级”的同人小说是没有配对的故事,而且很少,因为它不是特别流行。更受欢迎和非常常见的是那些着眼于一个配对(或者两个,或者五个,或者十个,或者任何数量)并用故事探索这种配对的任何互动的作品。

同人小说喜欢爱情,以及爱情的所有复杂而富有挑战性的样子。

“像女孩一样写作”……只是不写女孩

同人是一种绝大部分由女性创作的媒介。像许多其他以女性为主导的艺术形式一样,它经常被忽视。在同人小说界有很多内在的羞耻感。没有人愿意被称为同人女(fangirl)。谁愿意和那个世界上的青少年女孩联系在一起?毕竟,我高中英语课上的那个男孩告诉我,我“像个男人一样写作”,是因为他认为我写得很好,如果不是这样,我会“像个女孩一样写作”。

粉丝圈,就像我们这个悲伤混乱的世界里的其他一切一样,充满了厌女症(misogyny)。这不仅仅是因为我们没有足够的女性配对同人——因为我们没有——更是因为作为一个粉丝的社群,我们仍然像社会中其他人一样厌女。我们公开谈论我们有多讨厌女性角色。如果电视节目给男主角拉了一个女性恋爱对象,我们甚至写信给电视节目告诉ta们我们会停止观看,我们希望这个角色死掉!因为没有什么能比让两个明显性感的男人互相搞在一起的可能性更让粉丝们陷入狂热了。没有什么比自觉或不自觉地维护父权制的废话更能让我们迅速起立鼓掌。

父权制教导我们最关心男性角色,通常是白人男性角色。父权社会认为男性角色是最能引起共鸣的,最有趣的,最讨人喜欢的。不讨人喜欢的女性角色是我听说的缺少女性配对同人的一个原因,但它让我想知道:这些角色不讨人喜欢是因为ta们被这样塑造,还是因为我们被训练成自动觉得女性角色不那么吸引人?我们让她们的男性同伴逃脱谋杀、通奸和恶劣行为的惩罚,只是为了谴责那些女人是扫兴鬼、小三或“疯婊子”。这就是《绝命毒师》中安娜 · 葛恩扮演的角色斯凯勒·怀特效应*。

(*注:斯凯勒·怀特效应:《绝命毒师》里,斯凯勒是高中化学老师沃尔特· 怀特的妻子。怀特得知自己患有肺癌后,开始制作和销售甲基苯丙胺,为家庭留下一笔积蓄。然而在病情好转之后,沃尔特继续从事毒品交易越来越深地陷入了犯罪生活。当斯凯勒发现沃尔特的阴谋时,她试图阻止他,但是没有用。她对毒品世界的暴力和破坏感到愤怒,担心她孩子的安全,对沃尔特带来的金钱感到厌恶,对沃尔特对她的谎言和操纵感到厌恶。因为沃尔特是这部剧的主角,尽管他在道德上有缺陷,但人们倾向于同情并支持他而不是道德评判。作为一个一贯反对沃尔特并指责他撒谎的角色,斯凯勒受到了大量仇恨言论,而沃尔特从来没有像他妻子那样受到严厉的批评,这是一种性别歧视的双重标准。)

这种对女性角色的厌恶是是没有更多女性配对同人的部分原因吗?当你无法忍受女人本身的时候,当你认为她们根本不配有故事情节的时候,你可能很难写出两个女人之间的爱情故事。

历史上,女性的性,特别是酷儿女性的性,在我们的文化中是隐形的。当你和你的女朋友牵手,她仍然被称为你的朋友,你的室友,甚至是你的妹妹的时候,你可能已经经历过这种情况。两个女孩在身体上和情感上对彼此充满感情,被认为是相对可以接受的,而不是同性恋的标志,只要两个女孩看起来都不像那些奇怪的非主流。我们称之为“闺蜜综合症”,因为明星酷儿女性可以在公共场合接吻,但她们仍然只是自娱自乐,对吧?也许同样的事情也发生在我们消费的媒体上:女性之间的身体接触,情感,甚至性张力据说是很难解读的,所以我们可能只是没有看到。

但实践出真知,女性配对同人社群之所以存在,是因为我们对这种酷儿的证据非常熟悉。我们是酷儿,我们一看就知道谁是酷儿。我们可能不是唯一看到它的人,但我们肯定是唯一对它有热情的人。这些数字不言自明。

来源: destinationtoast.tumblr.com

可以预见的是,男孩们处于领先地位。在当代同人小说巨头网站AO3中,同性恋男性配对占同人小说作品的42.6% 。女性配对占3.8% ,次于异性配对的15.4% 。事实上,没有明确关系的同人小说作品比女性配对的作品更多。

借口,借口

我听过很多为什么我们没有女性配对同人的借口,我认为它们就是:借口,还不是特别好的借口。很多听起来像是内化的厌女症,或者对女性的性仍然被误解和被忽视的证明。

“没有足够的立体女性角色。”

你们都设法写了1047部 AO3同人,讲述帕特里克·凯恩和乔纳森·图斯之间的热烈爱情故事。他们分别是芝加哥黑鹰的右锋/中锋和中锋。再次确认一下,这些是曲棍球运动员。他们没有一部电影专门讲述他们复杂的关系。没有多季电视剧来捕捉他们的故事和探索他们的角色。他们为国家曲棍球联盟打球。那么,你是在告诉我,你们这些人有想象力,可以写出整部小说中涉及两个异性恋冰球运动员的戏剧性爱情,但《妙女神探》只值652个故事?说真的,朋友们。这些都是真实的数据。

“电视、书籍和电影中几乎没有女同性恋的故事情节。”

这个问题尤其令我感到困惑。从什么时候起正典成为一个因素了?以下是 AO3中排名前五的恋爱关系。名字旁边的数字表明有多少同人小说作品是关于这些配对的。

1.     夏洛特·福尔摩斯/约翰·华生(19,875)

2.     卡斯提奥/迪恩·温彻斯特(14,978)

3.     德里克 · 黑尔/斯蒂尔斯 · 斯蒂林斯(14,851)

4.     迪恩·温彻斯特/山姆·温彻斯特(7890)

5.     罗德尼 · 麦凯/约翰 · 谢泼德(6943)

让我们总结一下这些关系中哪些是正典的浪漫故事情节。提示:没有。显然,正典的(异性恋)关系和纯洁的白人顺性别男孩的伟大爱情不能相提并论,但这个论点足以推翻写得最好的一段女性之间的关系。

“女性配对同人是种女权主义的东西,我不想写女权主义。”

我甚至不知道如何与这个争论。

“贝克德尔测试*,哟!我们很少看到两个女人互动,而且肯定不会持续很长时间。”

*注:贝克德尔测验(英语:Bechdel test)是一个致力于使性别不平等引起关注的简短测验,展示了女性在电影作品中因性别歧视而缺乏代表的现象。该测验源自艾莉森·贝克德尔的报纸连环漫画《Dykesto Watch Out For》。在1985年发表的一篇《TheRule》中,一个未命名的女性角色说她只看满足以下三个条件的电影:片中至少有两个女性角色,她们互相交谈过,谈话的内容与男性无关。该测验是一种评判电影中女性角色代表程度的简易方法,估量这些角色是否得到了充分发展。)

在电影《盗梦空间》中,亚瑟和伊姆斯互动了多少次?两次?用枪然后踢椅子?总共6.47秒的直接互动。仅在 AO3上就有4180篇亚瑟/伊姆斯同人。你可以自己算算。

是啊,我们从哪里得到两个女性角色有化学反应这些疯狂的想法? 我们一定是在胡思乱想,对吧?

问题是我们不需要更多的借口来解释为什么没有女性配对同人。我们需要问一些重要的问题。

为什么女性配对同人是同人小说世界中最小的类型?为什么女性配对同人是代表性最不足的配对关系同人,并且和其他的差距这么大?更重要的是,为什么几乎所有的女性配对同人作者都是酷儿女性?男性配对是由异性恋女性,酷儿女性,甚至一些男人写的(我说“甚至”是因为在同人小说世界里,男人比两美元钞票还稀少),而且读者大多是女性。女性配对同人有一个完全不同的意识形态,因为它几乎完全是由它所描绘的社群来写作和消费的。不像一个异性恋女孩写的两个男孩发生性关系(我保证他们是两个传统上有吸引力的白人男孩,他们的女性恋爱对象被粉丝认为是该死的或无性恋的) ,女性配对同人是由那些其身份和个人叙事反映在故事本身的人写的。也许那个情色场景的作者还没有和一个女孩发生过关系,但是,艹,她想了很多。那个酷儿写手在她的故事中让两个女孩相爱,即使她们在原作中是异性恋,因为两个女孩坠入爱河对她和很多像她一样的人来说意味着什么,重要的是她在媒介作品中看到了自己,而正作里的她忘记了她自己的存在。LGBTQ的媒介令人感到最大的挫折之一就是是,关于我们的描述很少来自自我认同为LGBTQ的创作者,因此我们看到的描述并不准确,多样性有限。女性配对同人的存在是因为我们厌倦了被告知我们不存在,所以我们把自己写进了她们的故事里。

我写这篇文章的时候不能不提到个人兴趣,否则我相信你会在评论中把我钉死在十字架上。每个人都有自己独特的写作和阅读的理由,出于自己独特的经历和观点。如果别人不喜欢糖果,我不能强迫任何人吃糖果。如果别人自己不吃的话,我不能强迫任何人做糖果。然而,我认为问一个人为什么ta觉得糖果这么难吃是可以的,如果你明白我的意思的话。

我认为我们应该问问自己,为什么这么多人会阅读和创作男男和异性恋同人小说,却把ta们对女女配对同人的不感兴趣作为一种“偏好”来陈述,作为酷儿,作为女性,作为酷儿女性,为什么我们要把如此多的精力和热情投入到传统有魅力的白人男性和他们的小雏菊的虚构事迹中?为什么我们这么快就找借口,为什么我们不喜欢阅读或者创作关于那些分享我们身份和经历的人的文章?这难道不像是一件大事情吗?

让我们想想为什么男性配对如此明显地胜过女性配对。让我们想想女同性恋的隐形,女性的性的隐形,还有该死的父权制。更重要的是,让我们开始写作!事实上,我们可以随时写女性配对同人。让我们上演一场女性配对同人接管世界。让我们停止让某些故事主宰博客空间。女性配对同人是一场迟来的革命,各位。

文化需要的不是探索,而是爆发。我们需要摧毁一些东西,用我们自己的形象重建它们,因为创造我们接受的媒体的人们不会为我们做这些。这就是为什么我想要女性配对同人拯救世界,我不会接受否定的答案。

【影评】这是特莱丝,不是女版康斯坦丁!

亚历桑德拉·特莱丝不是她的父亲,也不想成为她的父亲,她就是特莱丝。

这是网飞的第一部原创东南亚动画剧集,一部基本上都是菲律宾裔制作的菲律宾作品,改编自菲律宾得奖漫画,以马尼拉为背景,从菲律宾人民耳熟能详的民间传说中汲取灵感,是一部非常优秀的菲律宾本土作品。尽管编剧声称特莱丝的灵感来自于他所喜欢的漫画角色蝙蝠、康斯坦丁和侦探福克斯·穆德、吉尔·格瑞森,但最初的设想就是一个马尼拉的侦探,也就是说,这是个土生土长的菲律宾角色,并且外景取材于马尼拉,故事背景取材于菲律宾民间传说,剧中每一个超自然种族都有对应的传说原型。而最后一分钟把设想的侦探形象改成女性,也是因为编剧认为“我们已经有够多的硬汉角色了,但我们从来没有一个真正强悍的女性主角,尤其是女性侦探”。所以不要用殖民主义和性别主义的角度看亚历桑德拉·特莱丝了!!!

2005年,特莱丝漫画原作出版,16年后动画剧集在网飞播出后作为菲律宾裔representation在菲律宾裔中掀起了十分高的热度。这是一部菲律宾裔不需要隐藏自己口音的剧集,是一部生活在马尼拉的人能认出 “这就是我住的地方”的剧集,是“这是我小时候听过的恐怖传说”,对马尼拉和菲律宾民间传说的描绘十分准确,粉丝们切实感受到自己被正确地代表到了,而不是好莱坞东方主义下的东南亚异域风情。

很多粉丝在fandom里表达了这部剧集对马尼拉的精确捕捉:

@en-sam-malas:灵探特莱丝的最大特点是它如何设法平衡了都市传说、热带哥特式风格和魔幻现实主义,以及这种特定的恐怖故事如何完美地捕捉到马尼拉的氛围,因为说实话?

马尼拉真的就像那样。

在女性角色的塑造上,这部剧做得也十分优秀。特莱丝和马人族领主的那场戏里,能看到特莱丝尝试取代她父亲,她独立,勇敢,强悍,深思熟虑,为她认为的正确而战。在闪回里,看到她勇敢地走向试炼的大榕树,你真的能开始理解她是个什么样的人。女主没有异性恋感情线也是十分难得(事实上,作者还确认了女主是姬!),说实话,很多美剧女主明明一个人挺好,硬被塞了一个尴尬至极的异性恋对象后整个角色的弧光都毁掉了,仿佛女主非得和PUA男人谈恋爱似的,这才是最大的政治正确吧(白眼)(没错我骂的就是你,妙女神探和超女的编剧)。

关于马人族,在菲律宾传说中他们往往被描述成诡计多端的半马半人生物,据说马人们很喜欢把旅行者引入歧途,然后坑害人们。而这部作品里,马人族会在高速路口等待,然后向你挑战短程加速赛。交易是一样的,如果你输掉比赛你就会失去心智。如果你赢了,马人就帮你一个忙。传统传说和现代生活的完美结合,既尊重了传统也不像某些魔改的厕所台奇幻剧让原住民恼火,实属是个绝妙的让民间传说重新焕发生机的方法。

以及最后,这部剧有:

很会玩刀的、杀光鬼怪的badass女主

漂亮姐姐x2

神秘的阴间使者

有翅膀的漂亮姐姐

风人双胞胎姐妹

不穿衣服的阿斯旺

被当做奖品的双胞胎himbo跟班

总之都可以梦,颜粉的狂欢了朋友们(大雾)(鸡笼已经放好了)

【影评】永生妻妻和永生夫夫的不死人生——论没有异性恋的世界有多美好

永生妻妻和永生夫夫的不死人生——论没有异性恋的世界有多美好

一个名叫安迪(查理兹·塞隆饰)的战士领导了一个关系紧密的秘密雇佣兵团体,他们具有神秘的不死之身,为了保护凡人世界而战斗了几个世纪。但团队在受雇执行紧急任务时突然暴露了他们不寻常的能力,他们要依靠安迪和新加入的士兵奈尔(琪琪·莱恩饰),帮助团队消除那些不择手段要复制他们的能力并从中获利的人所带来的威胁。

这是第一部由有色人种女性导演执导的女性超级英雄题材电影,吉娜·普林斯-拜斯伍德成为导演的第一件事就是聘用女性当各电影部门的领导,也难怪能拍出如此反男性凝视、如此女权主义的优秀动作电影,而不是好莱坞白男眼中穿着暴露的美少女拯救世界。

看看Andy和Quynh在《永生守卫》里的服饰吧,整部电影中她们从未被性化(sexualized),没有胸垫,没有侧开叉到大腿的衣物,没有袒胸露腹,只有穿着为战斗而设计的衣物,穿着代表着她们各自文化的服饰(一个是古斯基泰人一个是古越南人),她们的衣物不是设计来取悦男性凝视的。这就是为什么我们需要女性参与到电影幕后制作上来。

同时这也是一部完全没有异性恋的电影,电影中有一对百合一对基,用大量真实的、平凡的小细节(亲吻,表白,拥抱,共同战斗,睡在一起)时刻提醒我们,她们/他们是一对,而不像常见的好莱坞电影里不断卖腐(queerbaiting)却否认他们确实是一对同性恋人只是“很好的朋友”。更难能可贵的是,尽管好莱坞影视作品中不断有LGBTQ角色出现,但ta们通常总是没有一个好的结局最终死亡并以死推动剧情发展,被酷儿粉丝们总结为杀死同性恋剧情(bury the gay trope),愤怒的粉丝们甚至创建了lgbtfansdeservebetter.com/网站用于纪念死去的LGBTQ角色……而这部电影不仅没有bury the gays,更是字面意义上上演了“你敢bury the gays她们就会杀了你”这样酣畅淋漓的剧情。

PS. Andy这个角色对武器的选择是一把双头斧(Labrys),在希腊神话中,这种斧头仅限女神使用(并且Andy说过她曾经被当做神来崇拜),在现代这个双头斧更是作为女同性恋的标志。

除去对同性恋情既不sexualize又不fetishize的优秀刻画之外,《永生护卫》对女性角色之间情谊的描写也非常好,Andy和Nile,一个最年长的不死者遇到了刚活了27年第一次发现自己永生不死的年轻女孩,Andy沉浸在失去恋人的悲伤中不可自拔而愤世嫉俗,变得冷漠且自暴自弃,而Nile的出现是一种崭新的精神,提醒着Andy她是谁她存在的意义,而反过来Andy带Nile进入了一个属于她自己的温暖家庭,Andy是她可以依赖的人,真实地诠释了女性视角下的女性情谊。

如果说Andy和Nile的关系还是全片重点描述的对象,那么Andy受伤后瞒着同伴们去药店和random女性店员互动的短暂一幕就更是非常罕见的优秀女性支持女性的小细节了:Andy受了伤,女性店员敏锐地注意到了,问她需不需要帮助。Andy在女性店员帮她处理伤口的时候说,(这明显的战斗伤口)你还没问是怎么回事呢。而女性店员回答说,这不重要,我帮了你,下一次你就可以帮助其他人,我们不是注定孤独。一段短小精悍的、能通过贝克德尔测试的精彩对话,如果要是白男来拍,保准要来点激情戏表达“感激之情”呢(白眼)。

这部电影对有色人种女性角色的刻画也是相当优秀,Nile是一名新近才发现有永生能力的新成员,和其他白人男性主导的电影里不同,Nile作为一个黑人女性角色第一次不用向别人(尤其是白人们)证明自己的能力证明自己配得上,而是被毫无条件地接纳了,不得不说这是只有少数族裔女性才能写出来的优秀剧情。而Quynh,尽管原作漫画里她是日本人,但演员Veronica Ngô是越南人,而她希望能作为越南演员代表自己的文化,搭戏的塞隆听了她的想法后反映了这个问题,于是才最终有了充满魅力的Quynh,好莱坞大项目中的第一个越南裔角色,不得不说只有女性才会支持女性。

总之是一部被国内大大低估的女性动作电影,特别好嗑,强烈推荐!!!

【肖根】收割者

Summary:

人类锤x死神根,又名如果她们早了十年相遇会发生什么呢。

Notes:

(See the end of the work for notes.)

她们第一次见面的时候,Shaw第一次失去自己的病人。

Shaw完美地完成了手术,但病人因为心力衰竭没能活下来。最终所有人都离开了手术室,而Shaw看着手术台上的身体,一如当时她父亲去世之后的心情,不如说缺失的感情,她什么都没有感觉到。当她转身准备离开时,她发现一个带着兜帽的人不知怎么进到了手术室而没被她发现。

“你她妈是谁?”

那人歪歪头,摘下兜帽看着这个医生。“你能看见我?”

“你不应该进来,这里是——”Shaw伸手拦住那个棕发女人。

她的手径直从那个女人的身上穿了过去。“什么……?”

那女人低头看了看。“你无法阻拦我。你甚至不应该看到我。”

那个女人困惑地摇了摇头。“不管怎样,我的名字是Root,你是?”

Shaw觉得她是疯了才会和一个摸不着的女人谈话。“我是Shaw。”

她一定是因为失去病人而悲恸过度了:因为显然她已经在和想象中的鬼魂谈话了。

对方优雅地翻了个白眼。“回答你的问题,我不是鬼。虽然有点无礼,我知道,但我必须走了。我们很快会再有机会的。”

一把巨大的镰刀凭空出现在Root的手中,Shaw眨了眨眼睛。一个发光的红色圆球从手术台上的身体中钻浮现了出来。Root用她的镰刀挥过圆球,红色的圆球伴随着一声叹息爆裂消失了。最后看了一眼人类,Root消失了。

Shaw环顾四周,用手指捏了捏鼻梁。她不想知道这意味着什么。


从那以后,Shaw在每次失去病人都不断地碰到Root。当Shaw身边有其他人的时候,Root从来没有出现过。

“你对其他所有人也这样吗?”Shaw干巴巴地说, Root出现在她身后。Shaw不会被吓到,但她不习惯有人能偷偷靠近她。

Root甜甜地笑了,暂时忽略了躺在病床上的尸体。“当然。只不过你是唯一看得见我的人类。”

一开始,Root只会在收获灵魂后停留几分钟,但她开始停留的时间越来越长,被这个有趣的人类所吸引。Shaw对死亡的态度让Root着迷。

Shaw渐渐喜欢上了神秘的死神。在医院的日子里很忙,她从不交朋友,但能和一个有着相同幽默感的死神调情的感觉还是挺好的。



“为什么你总是在我的病人死后才出现?”

“我是一个收割者,当有足够大的死亡值得我们关注时,我们就会出现。”

“什么?”

Root笑着摇了摇头。“你周围的东西每天都在死去。虫子,细菌,你的细胞。大多数时候,它们很轻松就进入了来世。但是有时候他们需要一点推动才能跨过去。灵魂召唤我们,把我们锚定在这个领域。我们反过来给予他们所需的推动力。”

Shaw思考了一下。“你确定我每天死去的细胞不足以让你想出现的时候就出现?”

“亲爱的,”Root轻笑起来,“你想我了吗?”

“像想我肚里的蛔虫那样想。”

“我喜欢你的比喻。”

“那为什么我是唯一能看见你的人?还是说你其实并不存在?毕竟一切都像空气一样穿过你。”Shaw不依不饶地问道。

Root歪了歪头,看着小个子女人。“别动。”

Shaw看着Root倾身靠近她,在她脸颊上留下一个吻。

Shaw终于如愿以偿把有了实体的Root按在了墙上。

Root任由Shaw按住她,她向下看着Shaw,被逗笑了。“这对你来说够真实了吗?”

Shaw盯着她看了好一会儿,然后猛地亲了上去。

Root回吻了她,狂野地感受着人类的温暖灵魂。


Shaw深吸了一口气,最后一次离开医院。她被医院开除了,因为她在通知病人家属死讯时吃棒棒糖。这不公平,Shaw愤愤地想,她救了那个病人三次,她的身体感到筋疲力尽需要糖分又不是她的错。

Shaw一脚踢开挡路的石子。石子滚到一只小鸟的尸体前停了下来。尽管Shaw不觉得Root会为只小鸟出现,但她还是抬头张望了一下。

Shaw感觉到了一个存在。

“Root,出来,”Shaw没好气地喊道。在医院的时候Root总爱这么做,尽管Shaw从未被吓到。

Root实体化了她的身体,走近Shaw和她并肩同行。“不能怪一个女孩想要试试啊。”

“听说你被医院开除了,”Root说。

“凡人糟透了,”Shaw嘟囔道(这些天她也被Root影响了),“谁在乎能救ta命的医生是第二轴人格障碍啊?我是说,你就不在乎,对吧,Root?”

“我不是凡人,“Root同情地看了Shaw一眼,“其他人类在乎。”

Shaw撇了撇嘴。“像我说的那样,人类糟透了。”

“那你接下来打算干什么呢?”

Shaw认真考虑了一下。“那么哪里死亡最多?”

“或许我应该去参军。”

Root被逗乐了,她笑着转过头看着Shaw。“所以你打算为了我参军?”

“不是。“Shaw翻了翻白眼。“我只是觉得如果我不擅长治人的话或许我更适合杀人。”

Root吃吃笑了起来,“Sameen,没有灵魂作为锚点我不能久留。但如果你说是就是吧。”

Root轻柔的笑声和她本人一起消失在空气中。Shaw,一个习惯了Root的来去无踪的人,只是又翻了个大大的白眼。


海军陆战队证明Shaw确实更擅长救人而不是杀人。Shaw在军队里晋升得很快,而且战场上的Root绝对是最有趣的陪伴,毕竟不是所有人都能在交火中闲庭漫步的。

但Shaw向上帝发誓Root绝对也是最不挑好时候调情的家伙。

一次,Shaw从侧翼突围后意识到Root没跟上她。

“你不是有灵魂需要收割吗?”

“我是,”Root慢悠悠地说,“但我在帮你看着你的六点钟方向呢。而且,这里风景好极了。”

Shaw气急败坏地意识到收割者正盯着她的臀部。

“认真的吗,Root?容我提醒你一下,我是会死的凡人,所以闭嘴赶紧收了灵魂我们要离开这里,这里不安全。”

于是收割者召唤了她的镰刀,毫不犹豫地将Shaw留下的尸体中浮现出来的灵魂球切成了两半。

Shaw好不容易回到基地,虽然她不是不欣赏营地里的卫生条件,但缺乏隐私的军营让她发疯。她可不想让队友看到她对着空气说话然后质疑她的精神状态。所以她申请了加入ISA。


候选人加入必须通过一个评估和选拔课程,以及一个漫长的背景审查和心理测验。被录取后她还要在一个特殊训练课程中接受进一步训练。

因为训练她有段时间没见到Root了;她估计Root正满世界收割灵魂呢。

幸运的是Hersh对她的训练非常满意,很快就让她参与了第一个ISA任务。

她的搭档是Cole,一个技术小子;在她出外勤的时候,他除了坐在厢车里负责监视之外没什么好做的。通讯是个问题,但Shaw总可以在处理尸体的时候关闭通讯。

Shaw根据Cole追踪的信号出现在黑暗公园里一群地下交易者身后。“没有人告诉你们晚上这公园不安全吗?”

买卖双方立刻散开,可惜Shaw是暗夜中的恶魔,专门猎杀这种危险分子。

“噢,你漏掉了一个。”一个悠闲的声音在她身后传来。

Shaw回过头,看到Root歪歪斜斜地靠在附近的一棵树上。

“Root。”Shaw的脸上露出一丝笑容。

“听说你从地狱般的训练课程中出来了。”Root随意地从空中抽出她的镰刀。

“我还挺乐在其中的。”

“我就期待你这么说呢,”Root的笑容完全是邪恶的,“你可没这么容易摆脱掉我。”

Root流畅地收割着死者的灵魂,“你不是有在逃敌人需要追杀吗?”

“新工作,新规矩,”Shaw咧着嘴笑了起来,一边欣赏挥舞着巨大镰刀的Root,“我得把子弹从这些死人身上取出来。顺便一提,‘有个火辣的死神和我调情导致我错过目标’写在报告里怎么样?”

Root大笑起来。她想念这个拥有独特幽默感的士兵。现在是特工了。她就知道Shaw消失不是为了让她在什么无人认领的地方找到她的尸体的。她是只很难杀死的猫。

“所以你觉得我很辣?”Root笑着调情。

“闭嘴吧,Root,”Shaw吻了上去。

她们在漆黑的街心公园接吻,脚边是散落一地的尸体,Shaw身上还有血迹,她还有收割者的工作要做,本不该感觉这么好,但Root感觉好极了。

Shaw当然没有在报告里提到她火辣的死神朋友,但她的报告依旧非常“丰富多彩”,总之,ISA决定对她委以重任,于是她在全球各地往返,专程猎杀恐怖分子。而Root总是在她身边。死神和杀手,配到地狱里去了。

Shaw从不说,但她很喜欢这个。远离军队里的条条框框和窥探的眼睛,她可以毫不顾忌地和Root调情。她也很喜欢Root在混战中提供的支持。死亡总是和战斗如影随形,拥有一个死神女朋友意味着Shaw能在处于人数劣势的战斗中占尽优势;倒不是说Shaw真的需要帮手。但出其不意总是很有趣。


几天前一组制作脏弹的恐怖分子把Shaw带到了柏林。主控同意出击后,她提议用毒气。

“你知道除了你之外还有谁疯狂到会用毒气吗,”Cole说,“俄罗斯人,FSB俄罗斯疯子们。”

“不然你以为我哪来的灵感?”

“哦,不愧是我的女孩。”Root凭空出现在她身边,附在Shaw的耳边轻轻地说。

“Root。”Shaw挑挑眉,不以为意地看了她一眼。

三声身体撞击地板的声音后,Shaw破门而入。

她轻车熟路地解除敌方的武器,取出铯,这时她注意到桌面上被风吹起的纸张。她拿起枪站起身,发现靠近窗户的男人已经不见了。

那男人拿着刀向她扑来,她来不及开枪,和他扭打在一起。

Shaw狠狠给了那男人一拳把他从她身上推开后,他爬起身从她视野里消失了。

Shaw站起身,端起枪,看到Root歪着脑袋盯着她的屁股。

“我看不见他,”Cole焦虑地在频道里大喊。

“冷静下来,给我点有用的,”她是说给两个人听的。

“停下来,”Root说。

“在你右手边,”Root说。

“你的三点钟方向,”Cole同时说道。

“现在!”Cole喊道。

“现在。”Root贴在Shaw身边,在Shaw的耳边诱人地说。

Shaw连开四枪,当场射杀了一墙之隔的那个男人。

“Sam,你还好吗?”Cole担心地问。

Shaw抬头看了愉快地穿墙而过的Root一眼。

“拉响火警然后到大街上。”

“你要做什么?”Cole问。

“取回我的子弹。我们从来没有来过这里,记得吗?”Shaw弹出了小刀,眼睛紧紧跟随着Root挥动镰刀的动作。

Shaw走回到桌边,重新组装起了脏弹。

“你这是在干什么呢?”Root问。

“看起来这是掩盖我们痕迹的最佳方式,不是吗?”Shaw得意地炫耀着手中的手机引爆装置,“我们有五分钟。”

Root勾起嘴角。Sameen真是个充满惊喜的特工。


柏林之后Shaw回到了纽约,这一切的开端,追踪一个鬼鬼祟祟的前特种兵。

在厢车里,她正忙着装子弹,这时她注意到了Cole的不对劲。他看起来很苍白。

“你有什么问题吗?”

“你有想过探索者是从哪儿来的号码吗?”

“没想过。”

“为什么?”

“因为我不为探索者工作。”

……

Shaw有些不耐烦了,她并不想和Cole讨论这个问题,她对探索者不感兴趣。 “我们之所以不问探索者的号码是哪儿来的,是因为探索者从不出错。”

“好吧,他们这次就错了。”

Shaw的脸色阴沉。“你干了蠢事对吧?”

“我给局里一个朋友打了电话,让她追踪资金。资金来源不是黎巴嫩真主党,是来自于美国政府——而且就是来自于ISA。Aquino是在做保密工作,但他是在为我们做,”Cole说,“我联系了主控——Wilson,我是说,我要求了内部调查。我保证不会把你牵扯进来。”

“你和Wilson说了?”

Cole点头,“对。”

号码的行动打断了这个对话,Shaw和Cole不得不把这个问题先放到一边。

Shaw和Cole潜入号码的公寓,Cole轻而易举地黑进了号码的电脑,但——

“这不对劲。”

“他和一些前军人有联系。”

“你有ta们的名字吗?”Shaw问。

“有,”Cole困惑地回答,“是我们。这些文件全是我们的名字。”

Shaw听到什么动静,她起身到窗前查看。

Root的身影突然映在窗上,她的表情满是担忧。“这是陷阱。快跑。马上!”

Shaw立刻做出了反应,勉强在第一轮子弹倾泻而来的之前扑倒了Cole。

她击倒了第一批特工,取下其中一个的通讯设备。

“跟在我身后,”Shaw对Cole嘱咐道,“我们必须清理一条逃生路线。”

她带着Cole出了房间,却被另一队特工堵在了这一层。

“Shaw,小心!”Cole大喊,把自己挡在Shaw和另一个特工之间。

Shaw立刻开枪还击。她满心怒火,为ISA把这个任务变成了解决掉她们的陷阱。

击退了又一批特工后她扶起重伤的Cole,用手按压住Cole的伤口。

“不不不,”

“我很抱歉,”Cole说,把沾着血的USB塞进了Shaw的手里,停止了呼吸。

Shaw愣愣地看着Cole的尸体。

Shaw感觉到Root的手放在她的肩头。“你得走了,Shaw,”Root抱歉地说,从空气中抽出镰刀收割走了Cole的灵魂。那颗Cole的红色灵魂球发出一声最后的叹息,消失了。

“三队,就位,”Shaw听到耳机里说。

Shaw没法从正面离开,于是她抓着一个特工当缓冲垫从二楼窗户跳了下去。

她杀死了外面包围建筑的几个特工,清出一条路线,然后碰到了Wilson。

“所有小队报告,你们杀死了那个女人没——”

“Wilson?”

两人的目光相遇,然后同时开火。Shaw勉强逃走了。

她腹部中了弹。

Shaw需要找地方休整。

于是她绑架了Lewis。

但她显然惹恼了毒贩帮派。

“Sameen,醒醒,”Shaw从昏迷中睁开眼,看见一个站在半担忧半等着看好戏的Root身后的棕色皮肤男子,拿着她的枪。

“你她妈到底是谁,来闹事的坏蛋吗?”

“唔,他这倒说的没错。”Root评论道。

Shaw在心底轻笑起来。

“不全是。我有所谓第二轴人格障碍。”Shaw轻描淡写地说。

“很性感。”Root评价。

“这是什么意思?”

“哦,你当然不了解Sameen的美好啦。”Root找了个地方坐下翘起了二郎腿。

“意思是我下手杀了你和你的朋友时不会有任何感觉。”

“像我说的那样,性感。”

“哦,”那男人难以置信地笑了起来,“你要杀了我?你才几斤几两,上百斤了吗?”

“嚯,你要为你这话付出代价了,”Root幸灾乐祸地评论。

“9毫米子弹,重约35克,就能搞定了,”Shaw轻松地说。

“虽然她个子很小,但她很强悍!”Root兴高采烈地说。

Shaw悄悄翻了个白眼。

“但你的枪是.45口径的,小姑娘,”那男人嘲讽地说。

“她当然不是在说这把枪,愚蠢的凡人啊。”Root大声评价道。

“我是在说我的备用枪。”Shaw看着那人的眼睛说。一部分的她很享受他大变的脸色。

一阵枪响后,房间里站立着的只剩下了Shaw。

“这就是我的女孩儿,”Root笑着说。

“Lewis,走吧,”Shaw呼了口气,看着惊慌失措的黑人小孩,“如果你和别人说了我的事,我就会找到你。”

“好吧,”Root耸耸肩,“看样子不是他的时间。”

Root收割完一地的灵魂,把沙发上的一具尸体推开坐到了喝着啤酒的Shaw身边。

“接下来你打算怎么做?”


和Veronica Sinclair的谈话虽然不慎愉快但十分具有启示性。她杀光了来追杀她和Veronica的三个ISA特工,让Veronica赶紧离开,越远越好。

“你知道就算你自首,ISA也不会放过你的吧,”Root收割完Shaw留下的灵魂收起镰刀,说。

当然Root偷听了Shaw在来的路上打的那通电话。

“我知道,”Shaw搜了搜死去特工的身。

“乌头碱,我们用的剂量最多能撑四分钟。”她漫不经心地评论道。

“好吧,”Root吻住了Shaw,“这是好运吻。”

“这是什么?”一吻结束后,Shaw看着Root塞到她手中的注射器。

“阿托品和杜冷丁,”Root笑嘻嘻地说,“你和Veronica谈话的时候我去了趟医院。”

Shaw是个擅长兼顾多个任务的人。她见了足够级别的“非主控者”,把Cole的文件交给了他,杀了杀害Cole的凶手。

“Hersh,”Root出现在Wilson的尸体旁时说。

Shaw做好了准备。


Shaw在停尸房里醒了过来。

Root靠在冷柜旁看到她醒来,脸上露出了大大的笑容。

“你知道实体化后把你搬上救护车有多费精力吗——”Root说。

Shaw狠狠地翻了个白眼,笑着,然后把Root拉进了一个吻里。

两人喘着气分开,Shaw发现Root的身体闪烁着在变化。

“你知道的,没有锚点我不能久留。”Root说。

Shaw环顾四周,在看看自己,调笑着说,“我以为这种地方有足够的锚点呢。”

Root戳了戳Shaw,“你是活的,不是锚点。”

“如果你把自己锚定在我身上会怎么样?”

Root看起来惊呆了。或者说是这个死神最接近惊呆的样子。

“你不知道你在说什么。”

“一旦我这么做了,你的灵魂就再也回不到过去的样子了。”

“我真的死了一次了,又会有什么不同呢?”

“你不是说灵魂召唤你吗,你看,这里就正好有一个你想要的灵魂。”

“你真的想要这么做吗?”Root好奇地问。

“为什么不呢?”Shaw说,“我已经死过一次了;还能有什么不同?”

Root无法否认Shaw的灵魂在向她呼唤。在她第一次和Shaw道别后,她费尽心思才忽略了那呼唤。然后她一次又一次地被Shaw温暖的灵魂所吸引。收割者无法抗拒如此慷慨的赐予,如此光明的灵魂。

“一旦给予,你将永远被收割者标记。你百分之百确定吗?”

“当然。”

Root的镰刀凭空物化,她把镰刀递给Shaw,“拿着。”

Shaw抓住把手的时候她叫出声来,感觉自己的一部分被镰刀吸收进去,永远地改变了。一段被遗忘的记忆浮出水面。

Shaw 因为撞击而昏昏沉沉。她能听到火焰在外面燃烧,劈啪作响的火舌带着不祥的预兆。在她因为脑震荡而晕乎乎的时候,她看到了一个小小的影子出现她的身旁。

Root 看着她摇摇头,  你的时候未到。 

 不要让我一个人留在这里。   Sameen 昏昏沉沉地说。

Root 停下来点头。她在小 Sameen 旁边以同样的姿势趴下。  我会一直呆到 ta 们来。 

Shaw惊讶地抬起头看着现在的Root,“你当时在那里。我的心理医生认为你是我的幻觉。”

Root自己也很震惊,“我忘了,对不起——”

Shaw把Root拉近亲吻了她。

有生以来第一次,Root感到自己完全是一个整体,一个人类,而不是一直在变化。死神激情地回吻着Shaw。Root第一次和活着的灵魂绑定在一起,她仍然可以感觉到其他灵魂的召唤,但是与她旁边烈火般燃烧的灵魂相比,其他所有灵魂都变得黯淡了。

“所以接下来你想去哪里?”

“和你的糟糕屁股联系在一起?随便什么地方都行。”

【肖根】Reaper

Summary:

Human! Shaw x The Grim Reaper! Root, what happens when Shaw bumps into Root the Grim Reaper.
Or
What if they met ten years earlier.

Notes:

(See the end of the work for notes.)

Work Text:

When they first met, Shaw lost her first patient.

Shaw performed the surgery perfectly, but the patient didn’t make it because of heart failure. Eventually, everyone left the OR, and Shaw looked at the body on the table, felt exactly like the time after her father’s death, or rather say the lack of feeling, she felt nothing. As she turned to leave, she saw a hooded person had somehow gotten into the OR without her noticing.

“Who the fuck are you?”

The woman tilted her head, took off her hood, and looked at the doctor. “You can see me?”

“You’re not supposed to come in here, “Shaw said, reaching to stop the brunette.

Her hand went right through the woman. “What…?”

The woman looked down. “You can’t stop me. You shouldn’t even be able to see me.”

The woman shook her head in confusion. “Anyway, my name is Root, and you are?”

Shaw thought she’d be crazy to talk to a woman she can’t touch. “I’m Shaw.”

She must have been devastated by the loss of her patient: she was clearly talking to an imaginary ghost.

That woman rolled her eyes gracefully. “Answer your question, I’m not a ghost. It’s a bit rude, I know, but I have to go. We’ll do this again soon.”

A giant scythe appeared out of nowhere in Root’s hand, and Shaw blinked. A glowing red orb emerged from the body on the operating table. Root swiped the orb with her scythe, and the red orb vanished with a sigh. Took one last glance at the human, Root was gone.

Shaw looked around and pinched the bridge of her nose with her fingers. She didn’t want to know what that meant.


After that, Shaw kept bumping into Root every time she lost a patient. When Shaw was not alone, Root never showed up.

 “Do you do this to everyone else?”Shaw said dryly, as Root appeared behind her. Shaw wouldn’t be intimidated, but she’s not used to people sneaking up on her.

Root smiles innocently, ignoring the body lying in the hospital bed. “Absolutely. Except you’re the only mortal who can see me.”

Before Root would only stay a few moments after reaping the soul but she began to stay longer and longer, intrigued by the mortal. Shaw’s attitude to death fascinated Root.

Shaw grew fond of the mysterious Reaper. The days in the hospital were busy and she never made friends, but it was nice to flirt with a Reaper, who had the same sense of humor.

“Why do you only ever appear after my patients die?”

 “I am a Reaper, we only appear when there is a death substantial enough to warrant our interest.”

“What?”

Root smiled. “Everything around you is dying every day. Bugs, bacteria, your cells. Most of the time, they enter the after with no trouble. But sometimes they need a little push to get across. The souls summon us, anchor us to this realm. We, in turn, give the push they need.”

Shaw thought about it. “Are you sure I don’t have enough cells dying every day to let you show up whenever you want?”

“Aw sweetie,” Root chuckled, “Did you miss me?”

“I miss you like I miss an intestinal parasite.”

“I like your similes.”

“And why am I the only one who can see you? Or do you not really exist? Everything just goes through you like you’re made of air. “Shaw asked.

Root tilted her head and looked at the smaller woman. “Don’t move.”

Shaw watched as Root concentrated and leaned closer to her, leaving a kiss on her cheek.

Shaw finally could pin the materialized Root against the wall. She wanted to do this for a long time.

Root let Shaw pin her against the wall, and she looked down at Shaw, looked amused. “Is this real enough for you?”

Shaw stared at her for a moment, then kissed her.

Root kissed her back, feeling the warmth of the human soul in a wild way.


Shaw took a deep breath and left the hospital for the last time. She was fired from the hospital for eating a lollipop while notifying a patient’s family of his death. That’s not fair, Shaw thought indignantly. She had saved the patient three times, and it wasn’t her fault that she was exhausted and needed sugar.

Shaw kicked away a stone that was in the way. The stone stopped in front of a dead. Although Shaw didn’t think Root would appear for the death of a bird, she searched for Root for a moment.

Shaw sensed a presence.

“Root, come out, “Shaw yelled, annoyed. Root always did this at the hospital, even though Shaw was never intimidated.

Root materialized her body and approached Shaw to walk alongside her. “Can’t blame a girl for tryin’.”

“Heard you got kicked out of the hospital, “Root said.

“Mortals suck, “ Said Shaw, who was affected by Root these days. “Who cares if the doctor who can save their life has Axis II Personality Disorder? I mean, you don’t care, do you, Root?”

“I am not mortal,” Root said, giving Shaw a sympathetic look. “other mortals care.”

Shaw pursed his lips. “Like I said, mortals suck.”

“Then what are you gonna do now?”

Shaw gave serious thought. “So where has the most death?”

“Maybe I should join the army.”

Root was amused, she smiled at Shaw. “So you’re gonna join the army for me?”

“No.” Shaw rolled his eyes. “I just figured I’d be better at killing people if I wasn’t good at fixing them.”

Root chuckled. “Sameen, I can’t stay long without an anchor. But if you say so.”

Root’s soft laugh vanished in the thin air just like herself. Shaw, who is used to Root’s coming and going without a trace, just rolled her eyes again.


The Marines proved that Shaw was indeed better at killing people than saving them. shaw has risen through the ranks quickly, and Root was definitely the best company in the battlefield. After all, not everyone can walk into crossfires like walking in a park.

But Shaw swore to God, she flirted at the most awkward times.

Once, Shaw broke out from the flank and realized that Root wasn’t following her.

“Don’t you have souls to harvest?”

 “I do, “Root said slowly, “But I’m watching your six for you. Plus, it’s a great view here.”

Shaw was annoyingly noticed that the Reaper was staring at her ass.

 “Seriously, Root? Let me remind you, I’m a mortal, so shut up and collect your damn souls. we’re getting out of here. It’s not safe.”

The Reaper summoned her scythe and cut the Orb in half as it emerged from the bodies Shaw left behind without hesitation.

Shaw made it back to the base, not that she didn’t appreciate the sanitary conditions in the base, but the lack of privacy drove her crazy. She didn’t want her teammates to see her talking to the air and questioning her mental health.

So she applied to join the ISA.


Candidates must pass an assessment and selection course, as well as a lengthy background check and psychological test. Once accepted, she had to train in a special further training program.

She hasn’t seen Root in a while because of her training; she believed Root was harvesting souls all over the world.

Luckily, Hersh was very pleased with her training. she was soon assigned to her first ISA mission.

Her partner in ISA was Cole, a tech guy. He has nothing better to do than sit in their van and watch through surveillance when Shaw was in the field. Communication’s a problem, but Shaw can always shut it down while she’s disposing of the bodies.

Shaw appeared behind a group of underground traders in a park, following their signals tracked by Cole. “Didn’t anyone ever tell you it isn’t save to be in the park at night?”

The buyers and seller split up, but Shaw is the devil of the night, hunting down dangerous people like them.

“Ow, you missed one. “A leisurely voice came from her back.

Shaw looked back and saw Root leaning against a tree nearby.

“Root, “Shaw said with a smile on his face.

 “I heard you got out of your hell-like training, “said Root, casually drew her scythe out of the air.

“I kind of enjoyed this sort of thing.”

“I am so glad that you say that, “Root’s smile now was completely evil. “You’re not getting rid of me that easily.”

Root harvested the souls of the dead smoothly, “Don’t you have a runaway need to hunt down?”

 “New job, new rules, “ Shaw grinned, admiring Root brandishing her giant scythe, “I have to get my bullets out of these dead guys. By the way, how about ‘A hot Reaper flirted with Me so I missed my target’ in the report?”

Root laughed. She missed this soldier with her unique sense of humor. It’s agent now. She knew Shaw didn’t disappear to her so she could find her body in the middle of nowhere. She’s the kind of cat hard to kill.

“So you think I’m hot? “Root smiled, flirting.

“Shut up, Root, “Shaw kissed her.

They kissed in the dark, dead bodies scattered around them, there’s blood on Shaw’s hands, and Root’s got Reaper work to do, which shouldn’t feel so good, but Root felt so great.

Shaw didn’t mention her hot-ass Reaper friend in the report, of course, but her report was still very “colorful”. In short, ISA decided to entrust her with this job, so she traveled around the world, hunting terrorists. And Root was always there for her. The Grim Reaper and the assassin. Hell of a match.

Shaw never said it out loud, but she loved it. Far away from the marines’ red tapes and prying eyes, she was free to flirt with Root shamelessly. She also loved the support Root provided in the fights. Death always follows fighting, and having a Reaper girlfriend meant Shaw had all the advantages when she was outnumbered; not that Shaw really needed an extra hand. But the element of surprise was always fun.


A group of bomb-making terrorists brought Shaw to Berlin a few days ago. When control agreed to strike, she suggested using gas.

“You know who else is crazy enough to use gas besides you, “Cole said. “Russians. Crazy  FSB Russians.”

“Where do you think I got the idea?”

“Oh, that’s my girl, “Root emerged from nowhere and whispered into Shaw’s ear.

“Root.”Shaw raised an eyebrow as greeting.

After three sounds of bodies hit the floor, Shaw broke the door and entered.

As she disarmed the enemies and removed the cesium, she noticed the paper on the table that was blown up by the wind. She picked up her gun and stood up. The man near the window was gone.

That man came at her with a knife, and she fought with him before she could shoot.

After Shaw punched the man hard and pushed him away from her, he got up and disappeared from her view.

Shaw got up, picked up her gun, and saw Root staring at her ass.

“I can’t see him, “Cole shouted anxiously over the channel.

“Calm down and give me something I can use, “she was saying this to both of them.

“Stop, “Root said.

“On your right, “Root said.

 “Your Three o’clock, ”Cole said at the same time.

“Now! “Cole shouted.

“Now. “Root said seductively, deliberately leaning against Shaw’s ear.

Shaw fired four shots, killed the man who was not on her sight.

“Sam, you okay? “Cole worried.

Shaw looked up at Root, who was walking through the wall.

“Pull the fire alarm and head down to the street.”

“What are you doing? “Cole asked.

“Take my bullets back. We were never here, remember? “Shaw popped out her knife, her eyes following Root’s swing of the scythe.

Shaw went back to the table and reassembled the dirty bomb.

“What are you doing? “Root asked.

“Seem like the best way to cover our tracks, doesn’t it? “Shaw showed of her cellphone detonator. “We have five minutes.”

A wild smile appeared on Root’s face. Sameen is an agent full of surprises.


After Berlin, Shaw went back to New York, the beginning of everything, tracking down a sneaky ex-military.

She was loading her gun in the van when she noticed something was wrong with Cole. He looked pale.

“It’s something wrong with you?”

“You ever wonder where Research gets the number?”

 “No.”

“Why?”

 “Because I don’t work for the Research.”

Shaw’s getting impatient. She didn’t want to discuss it with Cole. She’s not interested in Research. “And the reason we don’t ask where Research gets its numbers from is because Research is never wrong.”

“Well, they were this time.”

Shaw’s face darkened. “You did something stupid, didn’t you?”

“I called on one of my friends from the agency, asked her to trace the money. Those transfers didn’t come from Hezbollah. They came from the U.S. Government—from the ISA itself. Aquino was doing something covert, but he was doing it for us,” Cole said. “I called Control—Wilson. I mean, I’ve requested an internal investigation. I’ll keep you out of it, I promise.”

 “You talked to Wilson?”

“Yeah.” Cole nodded.

Cole nodded. “Yes.”

The number was on his move, so Shaw and Cole had to put this conversation aside.

Shaw and Cole broke into the apartment, and Cole hacked into the number’s computer very easily, but —

“This is not right.”

“Mercer’s got a bunch of emails from some contacts, ex-military.”

 “Do you have the names of the contacts? “Shaw asked.

“Yes, “Cole replied, he looked confused. “They are us. Our names are all over these files.”

Shaw heard something. She checked through the window.

Root’s face suddenly appeared in the window, her expression was full of worry. “It’s a trap. Run. Now!”

Shaw reacted immediately and managed to tackle Cole before the first round of bullets.

She took down the first team and took out one of their comms.

“Stay behind me, “Shaw told Cole. “We have to clear a path.”

She took Cole and herself out of the room but trapped on this floor by another team of agents.

“Shaw, watch out! “Cole shouted, blocking himself between Shaw and another agent.

Shaw fired back right on sight. She was full of anger, for ISA hunt them down like some kind of problem that needed to be solved.

After fighting off another group of agents, she lifted Cole up. Cole was badly injured, so Shaw pressed her hand against his wound.

“No, no, no,”

 “I’m sorry, “Cole said, put the bloody USB into Shaw’s hand and stopping breathing.

Shaw stared at Cole’s body.

Shaw felt Root’s hand on her shoulder. “You have to go, Shaw, “Root said apologetically, drawing the scythe from the air and harvesting Cole’s soul. Cole’s soul orb let out a final sigh and disappeared.

 “Team three, move into position, “Shaw heard over the earpiece.

Shaw couldn’t get out from the front, so she grabbed one of the agents as a cushion and jump through the second-floor window.

She killed the agents that were surrounding the building, cleared a path, and then she ran into Wilson.

 “All team, check-in. did you kill the woman or not-”

 “Wilson?”

Their eyes locked and they both fired at the same time. Shaw barely got away.

She’s been shot.

Shaw needed a place to regroup.

So she kidnapped Lewis.

But she clearly pissed off the drug gangs.

 “Sameen, wake up, “Root said as Shaw opened her eyes from her coma and saw a dark-skinned man standing behind Root holding her gun. Root looked half worried and half waiting to see what would happen.

 “Who the hell you supposed to be, some kinda badass?”

“Well, he’s not wrong about that, “commented Root.

Shaw chuckled to herself.

“Not exactly. I have what’s called an Axis II personality disorder, “Shaw said, downplaying the situation.

 “It’s hot, “said Root.

 “What’s that supposed to mean?”

 “Oh, of course, you don’t understand the beauty of Sameen, “Root said, found a good spot to sit and crossed her legs. Not that she needed the space.

 “It means when I kill you and your friends, I’m not really gonna feel anything.”

“Like I said, HOT AS FUCK.”

 “OH, “the man laughed doubtfully. “You gonna kill me? You weight what, hundred pounds?”

 “Ooh, you’re gonna pay for that, “Root gleefully remarked.

“Nine millimeter round weighs about a quarter of an ounce. It gets the job done. “Shaw said it as a matter of fact.

“Though she be but little, She is fierce! “Root said cheerfully.

Shaw rolled her eyes secretly.

“But your gun’s a . 45, little girl, “the man said sarcastically.

 “Not THAT gun she was talkin’ about, foolish mortal, “Root exclaimed.

“I was talking about my backup piece. “Shaw said, looked directly at the man in the eyes. Part of her enjoyed his expression.

After a burst of gunfire, Shaw was the only human standing in the room.

 “That’s my girl, “Root said with a laugh.

 “Lewis, go, “Shaw exhaled, looking at the panicked black kid. “If you tell anybody about me…   I WILL find you.”

 “Well,” Root shrugged, “looks like it’s not his time yet.”

After harvesting the souls, Root pushed the dead body off the couch and sat next to Shaw, who was drinking a beer.

“What are you going to do next?”


The conversation with Veronica Sinclair was not very pleasant but illuminating. Shaw killed the three ISA agents who were after her and Veronica, and told Veronica to leave the town as far away from here as possible.

 “You know even if you turn yourself in, ISA will still come after you right, “said Root, as she gathered the souls that Shaw left behind.

Of course Root overheard Shaw’s phone call on the way here.

“I know, “Shaw said, patting the dead agent down.

 “Aconitine, the dose we use, you’ve got about four minutes, “she remarked casually.

 “Well, “Root said, kissing Shaw, “It’s a good luck kiss.”

 “What is this? “After the kiss, Shaw looked at the syringe that Root had put into her hand.

 “Atropine and some Demerol,” Root said, grinning. “I went to the hospital while you were talking to Veronica.”

Shaw is a multi-tasker. She met with the not-control-but-as-close-as-she’s-gonna-get, gave Cole’s research to him personally, and revenged for Cole.

 “Hersh,” Root said as she appeared beside Wilson’s body.

Shaw’s ready.


Shaw woke up in the morgue.

Root leaned over the cooler, looking at her with a big ass smile on her face.

Root spoke up. “Do you know how much energy it took me to materialize to move your ass in an ambulance-”

 Shaw rolled her eyes hard but smiled, and pulled Root into a kiss.

As they gasped for air, Shaw saw Root’s body was shimmering.

 “You know, I can’t stay without an anchor, “said Root.

Shaw looked around and looked at herself and let out a laugh, “I thought there were enough anchors in a place like this.”

Root poked Shaw. “You’re alive, not an anchor.”

 “What if you anchored to me?”

Root looks stunned. Or at least as close to stunned as this Reaper could get.

 “You don’t know what you’re talking about.”

 “Once I do that, your soul will never be the same again.”

 “I literally died once. What difference does it make?”

“I thought you said souls summon you. You see, Here I am, the soul you want.”

 “Do you really want to do this? “Root asks curiously.

 “Why not?”Shaw said. “I’ve already died once. Must be fun.”

Root couldn’t deny the very soul was calling out to her. It took everything of her to ignore the summons after she said goodbye to Shaw the first time. A Reaper couldn’t resist what was so freely given, such a bright soul.

“Once given, one’s soul cannot be returned as it was. You will be forever marked.”

 “Absolutely.”

Root summoned her Scythe from thin air. She handed it to Shaw. “Hold it.”

Shaw gripped part of the handle, and she cried out for feeling a part of herself absorbed by the scythe and changed forever. A forgotten memory floated to the surface.

Shaw was dazed by the car accident. She could hear the flames burning outside, hot fire carried ominous omens. As she felt lightheaded from the concussion, she saw a small shadow appear next to her.

Root looked at her and shook her head. “It’s not your time.”

 Don’t leave me here alone,” Little Sameen drowsily.

Root stopped and nodded. She lies down in the same position next to Sameen. “I’ll stay until they come.”

Shaw looks up at current Root in surprise. “You were there. My therapist told me you were a hallucination.”

Root herself was shocked too. “I forgot. I’m sorry -”

Shaw pulled Root closer and kissed her.

For the first time in her life, Root felt like a completely solid, a human being, instead of constantly shifting. The Reaper kissed Shaw back passionately. For the first time she connected with a living soul, Root could still feel the summons of other souls, but all of them dulled in comparison to the fiery soul beside her.

 “So where do you want to go next?”

 “With your sorry ass? ANYWHERE.”

Notes:

Sorry Cole, I wanted to save you but ISA wanted you dead…

【SuperCorp】Five Times Supergirl Managed Not To Break Things During Sex, One Time She Failed

Summary:

Kara was so weak when Lena was around. But the Kryptonian was also incredibly strong.

Notes:

I don’t have a beta so all mistakes are mine;)

Work Text:

Things just went very smooth after Lena found out she’s Supergirl, which is odd, because Rao knows Kara never really good at handling with lies and secrets, and she always messes up. However, Lena can take all the credit, she took off Kara’s shirt in her fancy office, and she was like ‘Oh I doubt so many times that you ARE Supergirl’ ‘No one is supposed to hear me unless they have super hearing’ ‘Or you have the exact same cute smile just like Supergirl’.

Anyway, Kara didn’t pay too much attention to Lena’s ‘How to identify Supergirl’s secret cover’ TED Talk while Lena looked straight at the S on her chest and then torn her suit off.

She supposed to interview Lena that day, asking her opinion about the Green New Deal, but it ended up Lena giving oral to Kara. They did three times that day, so Kara did understand Lena’s opinion very well.

The third time, Lena pinned Kara on her ridiculous expensive office desk, and told Kara that is her favorite furniture, ‘You better not destroy it.’ She teased.

Kara panted against the desk, and let out a moan when she felt Lena spread her legs and planted kisses between her legs.

Kara successfully control her heat vision that day, but Lena argued that she left a small hole on the desk; but Kara believed that is not her fault, besides, the desk is still in one piece.


The next time happened in Catco. After Lena took over Catco, she moved in Cat’s old office. Tried to be a good boss. Tried to understand media field. Which also means spending so much time with one particular reporter. She thought she didn’t spend enough time with her girlfriend. Hence, Lena developed an interest in shamelessly teasing Kara. Like, touching Kara’s hands when she passed her report to Lena. Or, openly flirting with Kara with things only Kara/Supergirl can understand.

Lena, who is a total Luthor, felt all smug to see Kara’s bright-red ears.

And then some random jerk started mansplaining on a morning meeting, ruined a day. She put Kara in charge of a new column about LGBTQ news (no it’s not nepotism), and that dumb idiot began to show off how little he knows about queer people. Kara’s defense is wonderful but she despised this kind of men so much, they know nothing yet so proud of themselves, so she stepped in. She stood in Kara’s side and put her hand at the small of her girlfriend’s back. ‘I believe you are done, Mr… Cooper? Thank you for your eloquent speech, which convince me never put a cishet man in charge of any kind of program.’

Then she gave a smirk to the burning blond next to her because of course, she knew her touch would do this to Kara, ‘Kara, you are doing great. Tell me more about the article you write about transgender youths…’

Kara work till late. When she finally finished her job, only Lena was still in the company. So they forgot about the articles.

After locking down the entire floor in order to avoid uninvited guests, Lena stripped off Kara’s work suit.

‘Do you know how much I want to fuck you when you in this shirt?’ Said Lena, she sounded like a serpent, seducing Eve.

Kara blushed. She wondered if Lena also has superpowers, or what else can make her leg so weak? She was pinned against the glass wall by Lena, and Lena mischievously breathe in her ear, ‘What kind of boss am I if I break my wall in my first month? Hold still, Kara.’

Kara cried out a little for Lena’s wonderful fingers. She can nearly feel the glass twisted under her pressure, but she remembers Lena’s words.

At least Lena was kind enough to take her to the coach later. Thank Rao, Kara managed not to crush Lena’s high-end furniture this time.


The third time is in DEO. Kara expected to meet Alex in the Kryptonite room for sparring. Instead, she saw Lena entered the room, wearing one-piece sportswear.

OH RAO SHE’S SO BEAUTIFUL OH DEAR, Kara shouted in her mind, blushing.

‘Well, Alex got a last-minute call, detective Swayer wants her expertise in a crime scene, so she asked me to train with you.’ But why her smile was so smug?

Kara stuttered. ‘But I’m afraid I will hurt you…’

Lena chuckled. ‘How so? You never hurt Alex before right? Or do you forget that I’m a black belt in Karate?’ Okay now her smile was totally evil.

So they started sparring. Lena’s good, Kara must give her that. With Kryptonite suppressing her power, and Lena’s existence was a distraction (duh), her ass was kicked by Lena. Repeatedly. So Kara tried to fight dirty, but Lena sure knew how to fight dirty. After she countered Kara’s move and use her strength to let her fell, a wicked smile showed on Lena’s face, ‘I learned a few tricks for this you know.’

Somehow Lena made it extremely hot. Kara pounced on Lena, and two of them wrestled together. Then wrestling became fondling, Lena was on top of Kara, smirking, looking at her heavy-breathing girlfriend fondly.

Kara managed to destroy the security camera in the training room before Lena kissed her (And the locker on the door. After they found out the door was broken, Lena make Kara came against the door, twice, before Kara forced the door open and let them out, because… Why not! )(After that, Alex scolded Kara for destroying government property for a whole week but worth it.).

The third time was a charm. Kara believed she’s now very good at self-controlling her power during sex. She wouldn’t call breaking things before/after sex were failures.


The other time happened before the game night. Lena ‘volunteered’ to help Kara prepare game night, but Lena’s missed the last two game nights with Kara because of some endless meetings, so she felt she needed to compensate Kara. Hence, Kara ended up riding Lena’s thigh in her bedroom. So much about game night.

Lena could tell Kara was close, she tightened her hold on Kara’s waist and whispered in Kara’s ear, ‘I know you’re close, so are our friends. You can hear they are coming, right?’

Kara blushed and couldn’t help but grunt.

‘Well, go on, I know you want to cum too,’ Lena said softly, devil smile was in her eyes, ‘and be quiet.’

Kara came quietly while Superfriends let themselves in the house. Her eyes turned bright briefly, but she eventually didn’t lose control and shoot lasers out of her eyes.

‘That is beautiful, Kara, I’d love to see it again,’ Lena said, enchanted, ‘but we still have a game night to host. C’mon,’

Lena left first, to entertain their guests, leaving a bright red Kara, dressing up and thinking about ‘do it again.


They did it again when Kara was visiting Lena’s lab. Lena was developing a new material to purify water, and Kara was covering the story. Since Kara want to know more about it, Lena took Kara to her lab. And of course, Kara found that Lena was not only a genius in science, she’s also hot as hell when she’s wearing the lab coat and talking nerd. So Kara kissed Lena.

It was supposed to be an admiration kiss, but soon it turned into passionate ones, and Lena unzipped her trousers.

‘Are you crazy?’ Said Kara, ears turning red.

‘We are alone,’ Lena said, ‘however, Eve may or may not come back to check her data after dinner, so you might want to keep things intact…’

So Supergirl had to spend all her strength to control her powers (and voice too).

The Girl of Steel was weak when she was dealing with Lena Luthor’s magical fingers. This time her eyes turned totally bright gold and last seconds.

Lena looked at her with a kind of awe. ‘You are a literal goddess, Kara, ’ She said in great fondness, ‘so powerful and gorgeous.’

Kara moaned, and told Lena was also great in that lab coat between kissing.

‘And I love it when you break because of me.’

This sentence made Kara blushed successfully.


So far so good, until a big bad alien witch came to earth and declared war. Her magic was too powerful, Supergirl can’t defeat her, and got hurt.

So Lena was working with DEO, they were finding a way to create some kind of magic jammer to block the witch’s power.

The plan was, Supergirl lured the witch into the city square, the square was planted with jammers, and allow Supergirl to defeat the witch.

But one of the jammers was down during the fight, and without it, Supergirl could not win.

So Lena went to fix the jammer, despite everyone’s opposition. Especially Kara’s.

After they took the witch down, Kara still mad at Lena, the tension between them could cut with a knife, even Briany sensed that.

So Alex sent them home.

They were both quiet on the flight home.

As soon as they landed in Lena’s home, the long silence can’t hold anymore.  

‘You could’ve got yourself killed this time, Lena!’

‘You would’ve died in there, Kara!’

Kara blinked.

‘What?’

‘You were bleeding, Kara! I know you are incredibly strong and all the yellow sun stuff, but YOU were losing! I have to go there and fix the jammer!’

Lena cupped Kara’s face, ‘I cannot lose you, Kara.’

Kara looked like some puppy got kicked. ‘But how can I protect you when I was fighting with bad guys? They- even me could’ve hurt you!’

‘You don’t need to,’ Lena said softly, ‘I can protect myself, and I have your back.’

Lena pulled Kara into a kiss, ‘And who else do you think can kick your ass in the training room?’

Kara pulled back to protest, ’That was different–’

But Lena cut the rest of her words with a bruising kiss.

The kiss became intense, they stumbled to the bedroom, clothes were stripped. Rather than fucking, it’s more like fighting. They left angry marks on each other’s bodies. The Kryptonian was strong, but Lena fought like a Luthor. She bit hard to feel her lover, even a Kryptonian would felt sore after.

Kara cried when Lena used her teeth and tongue at the same time.

Lena aimed for pleasure (and pain maybe). And Kara didn’t hold back. She needed this, to feel herself, to feel Lena, to feel alive. She almost died; she wanted the release.

She broke the bed headboard at the first orgasm. Lena’s ’Never mind, I can always fix it’ didn’t help either. She came hard. So does her heat vision. She burned through the ceiling.

 The ceiling was still smoking, but Lena told her to leave it and went down on her.

This time Kara crushed the bed.

Finally, they snuggled in the only intact bean furniture, Lena was on top of Kara, playing the blonde’s hair.

’Don’t do that to me again, Kara.’

‘Doing what, destroying your house?’ Kara said in puppy eyes.

Lena stared at her, half laughing half-serious.

‘Fine, I promise WE will have each other’s backs.’

‘No more surprises, I promise.’ Lena sealed the promises with a kiss.
