Just One More

WARNING: Overstimulation, crying reader, language, fingering

“No, no, no, no!”

There you are, 4 orgasms in and writhing wildly in Bucky’s arms as he continues to rub circles around your clit. You’re trembling with tears streaming down your face while you desperately try to get away from the torturous manipulation of his hands. All he could do was smile as he keeps the cold, heavy metal of his left arm tight around you middle.

He kept pulling you back into his chest when you couldn’t help but buck your hips and gasps for breath, “Bucky… please… no more, I can’t-”. He puts two fingers in your abused opening,

“Yes, you can,” he says sternly, mouth pressed to your ear. The bass in his voice vibrates the wires in your brain. He’s all you crave.

He lets out a deep breath when he slides a third finger into your hole. You were helpless and at his mercy. Your hands are trapped behind your back, between your torsos with a red Christmas ribbon he found. Your legs were trapped between his so when you tried to close them, he just had to spread his wider. There was absolutely nothing you could do to stop him from playing with your sensitive pussy.

“Ohhh, I’m not done yet, Baby. Not yet.” He pulled his fingers out and went back to the same speed on your clit.

“Oh my god, Sir… fuck, please, don’t stop,” you moan loudly, trashing in his grip when the tight coil in your abdomen comes undone. Wave after wave of pleasure crashing through you. You’re full on sobbing in blissful agony before going tractable in his arms. All your body could do was tremble from head to toe when he pressed his nose into your slick neck and finally slips his fingers out of you. He loosens his hold on your torso, allowing your legs to close a bit to give you a well deserved moment. You go to close them more when he cups his hand possessively around your pussy. He’s still not done.

You start to cry again; the combination of the tears and your whining making you sound so pathetic and helpless. He just eats it up.

“Noooo… Bucky, please, no more… stop, I- I can’t… please, no…”

“Shhh. You’re doing so well for me,” he says, pressing his lips against your temple. “What do you say to get me to stop?”

He laid a light tap to your swollen petals, “tell, y/n. Stay with me.”

“Brooklyn,” you said in the faintest whisper.

“Why?”

“It’s where we met…FUCK!”

He doesn’t wait another moment before slipping two fingers back inside your sopping pussy, making you cry out when they graze your ultra sensitive walls.

“James-FUCKKK!,” You drag out as you sit your head up to watch his attack on you,

“You want me to stop? Say it and I’ll stop.” He knew you wouldn’t and he reveled at the fact that he had complete control over you. The fact that he didn’t reprimand you for using his legal name meant that he was having way too much fun in this torture session to even care.

“No! Please don’t stop…” His fingers reached the spot that undoes it all and your eyes roll back as you place your head back on him, completely quiet.

“Jesus fucking Christ,” Bucky watches, mesmerized that it’s him who’s making you cum like this.

You whimper in his arms, gulping in large breaths that pass right by his ear from where my head is resting on his shoulder. Your entire body is trembling. Your sweaty skin sliding along his own when you try to wiggle away from his touch.

You stay like that for a moment before he presses another kiss to your temple. By this time, your eyes are closed and you’re starting to come down. Your breathing stables until you feel a heavy, icy sensation start to travel back to your overused cunt.

“You’ve been such a good girl for me. I know you can give me another, Baby.”

seen this before? tumblr deleted my other account so i have to rebuild :/

here with me

pairing: male x gn!reader (i tagged with a lot of different male characters i find comforting, but there’s no names used so you can imagine anyone you so please)

word count: 0.6k

warnings: reader is in pain (nothing descriptive), he comforts. just fluff

a/n: i wrote this as a result of my own migraines, but i kept all the symptoms vague because any chronic pain is a bitch, and you deserve to be treated softly by the person of your choice

The apartment usually wasn’t this quiet when he got home.

Or this dark.

He set his keys on the counter and left his boots by the door, then carefully stepped through the apartment. The kitchen and living room were both empty, and the office looked like it hadn’t been touched all day.

There was no light under the bedroom door. He set a cautious hand on the doorknob, but a quiet whimper had him opening the door without question.

You were laid out on the bed, on top of the covers, with an arm draped over your eyes. The ceiling fan and rotary fan on the ground were both spinning at top speed, and he could just see a dark bag poking out under your neck.

He quietly closed the door and returned to the kitchen, now a man on a mission. He grabbed a straw and a water bottle from the fridge, then took an ice pack from the freezer and wrapped it with a dish towel. He took the last item, a bottle of painkillers, from the cabinet and silently returned to the bedroom, the only sound of his presence being the faint click as the door closed one more time.

“Baby?”

“Yeah, it’s me.”

You let out another small whimper.

“How bad is it?”

“9.5.”

Unbearable, then, if you were using an actual pain scale.

He set his items on the nightstand and took a seat beside you on the bed.

“Meds?”

“At 3.”

Only a couple hours ago, too soon to take more. He put those beside the lamp.

He uncapped the water bottle and put the straw in, then he gently tucked a hand behind your head and lifted. “Drink.”

Your lips wrapped around the straw, and he didn’t pull the bottle away until you’d swallowed at least four times. But before you could lay back down, he replaced your old ice pack with a new one. You shivered a little, but the cold was a welcome reprieve.

“Stay or go?”

You could’ve cried. He’d stuck with you through this so many times he knew your comforts by heart. He read your moods instantly, and most of the time didn’t need promptings, but he always took the time to ask when it got bad like this. And he never shamed you for only being able to say a few words at a time.

“Stay.”

It nearly came out as a sob.

He shed his jacket and started unbuttoning his jeans. “Shirt or no shirt?”

“Soft.”

He took off his current shirt and replaced it with his sleep one, nothing decorating the black fabric, just ultra-soft cotton.

“Where do you want me?”

It differed every time. Sometimes you didn’t want him at all, the thought of another person with you sending jolts of pain through your body. Other times you wanted him to stay, but on the other side of the bed. Or you wanted him close, but barely touching.

“Top.”

Or sometimes you needed him to put all of his body weight on top of you like a human weighted blanket.

“Covers?”

“No.”

He positioned himself, knees on either sides of your thighs, then he slowly lowered himself until his hands on either side of your face were the only thing keeping him up.

“Okay?”

“Okay.”

He finished lowering himself and settled his full weight against you.

You sighed in relief.

“Better?”

You nodded and tucked yourself into the crook of his neck. “Better.”

“Three taps if I’m suffocating you.”

For the first time that day, you took a deep breath and relaxed.

Things I liked about the Netflix ATLA and some critiques:

Before you read. Please go watch the series, take off your blinders and keep an open mind. It’s surprisingly good. This review has spoilers.

They reordered some scenes so that emotional moments would have a larger pay off. Like getting to see and experience Aang’s relationship with Monk Gyatsu, and seeing his tribe before it was destroyed. So when he has his breakdown in the air temple with Sokka and Katara later, you really feel and understand his agony.

Azula is introduced earlier, with a story running simultaneously with the Aang’s journey but not involved with his. So she has a chance to be more fleshed out and explored before she becomes a major threat. Only time will tell if this more complicated Azula comes close to the animated one. Big shoes to fill, but not a bad start.

Fire Lord Ozai plays a more sinister and oppressive role. Not a faceless boogeyman anymore. You get to see his machinations and the cruel games he’s playing with his family, and see the emotional abuse that warps them.

Appa is adorable as fuck, and so is Momo. So well animated, such gorgeous care put into them.

Kyoshi, Kuruk, and Roku make more of an appearance. With Kyoshi narrating the prologue. And if you loved the novels you’ll see they incorporated more of Kyoshi and Kuruk’s backstory from the novels than what we saw in the animated cartoon.

The acting was competent, even if a little wonky at times. I found Sokka very endearing, I loved the kid they cast as Aang and you can tell they really tried to find a balance between serious and playful. They didn’t always hit it, but the effort was there.

Zuko was great. I think they nailed him and he had great chemistry with the actor playing Iroh.

King Bumi was great, I love how they made his internal struggles more complex. He wasn’t just a crazy old man anymore. He was a crazy old man who was weary and worn down by the horrors of loss and war. A crazy old man who struggled to reconcile that the best friend he lost is the avatar and wasn’t there for him.

I loved the costume and set design. It was like stepping into the actual world of ATLA. Cities were complex and well constructed. Every setting was incredible and the attention to detail was intense.

Zuko’s boat is full of artifacts he pilfered from the Air Nomads while hunting for the avatar.

They changed how Aang got the bison whistle so it makes more sense and fits more seamlessly into the story. It never made sense why a random peddler would be selling a bison whistle if air nomads and bison have been gone for 100 years. Not impossible for a peddler to do, but not probable. The Netflix series actually gave more meaning for the artifact and changed how Aang received it.

Emotional points in the show are now more intense and brought me to tears.

Commander Zhao is more competent and conniving, and his presence felt more dangerous and less comedic.

Sokka’s outright sexism was changed from putting girls down, to just manly machismo, talking himself up. Not gone, but not degrading. They decided to let the sexism message shine more prominently with the northern water tribe, rather than tackle it twice with Sokka too. (Sokka’s sexism being solved in one episode was never well written to begin with. And the animated series quickly forgot about it and moved on to him tackling more important issues, like his being a non bender inadequacy, his leadership journey, his physical combat journey, and him finding himself as more than just the funny sarcastic guy.) For time constraints, it was better the Netflix series did not to tackle the same problem twice, especially when you might not have the resources to give both sexism issues the gravity it deserves. By focusing the sexism problem to the northern water tribe they were able to give Katara more attention.

We got to see Katara’s water-bending go from being ultra sloppy and weak to badass. It feels like they are spending more time focusing on her developing into a warrior rather than being the mom of the group. I’m honestly not sad about it. She’s still the hope ridden, emotional glue, but now it feels like she explores that warrior side a little deeper. It felt so earned when she got the title of master at the northern water tribe finale.

The actor playing uncle Iroh nailed the role. I couldn’t think of a better live action adaptation of Iroh. I love him so much.

The shirshu looks fucking phemonal.

Koh was scary as fuck and I love it. They really nailed his horror elements. Even if I’m a little sad that they changed some things about his face stealing. (He eats faces now to steal them, rather than stealing when someone shows emotion.)

The three actresses who play Mei, Azula and Tailee actually look appropriate for their age. Since they are introduced earlier, they are clearly younger, and since this show is intended to get more seasons, the casting choice made sense as we are intended to watch these girls grow up over the course of the entire show. These actors will get older, and the characters will get more menacing and sharper. It’s great. It’s thoughtful. I love it.

We get to see Zuko’s dynamics with his crew more. And find out that he did more than just speak out against his father at that meeting. His outburst at that meeting saved an entire squad of soldiers, and they don’t even know it. Zuko feels such disdain and bitterness because of the situation, and his crew doesn’t even know why. It’s so complex, you can see how the abuse Zuko endured causes him to take out his anger on his crew, and in turn they are bitter back. And it’s this cycle, that festers. But the crew also grows with Zuko, they change and evolve as he evolves. And it’s such a delight to watch.

They could have cut the Secret Tunnel minstrels altogether, given the time constraints and that the episode was mostly fluff in season two. A fun romp, but not necessary. But the creators knew people loved the minstrels so they found a way to use them anyway. Because they knew they were special. I am thankful for that, even if they show up waaay earlier than they should.

I was honestly more sold on Sokka and Suki’s relationship in the live action. It’s was so adorkable. Do I wish it had more time to develop? Yeah, of course I love a good slow burn. But that didn’t mean it wasn’t fun as hell watching the two flirt so badly with each other. Sokka being a buffoon, and Suki overstepping and being too rough, before realizing she was being too hard.

Some Critiques:

They reordered some episode storylines to happen at the same time, and while it does bloat some episodes. it’s understandable due the episode and budget limitations. In the cartoon, during the inventor episode Katara didn’t have a lot to do, and during the freedom fighters episode Sokka didn’t have a lot to do. So they ended up combining both stories into one hour long episode in the live action, so that both Katara and Sokka would be involved in something. Is it the best? No. But it makes sense. I get it.

Katara starts off bland in the first episode and it takes a bit for her to grow into the character.

The past avatars can be a bit strong with the doom and gloom, and I wish they’d toned that back.

Koh and Heibei (I dunno how to spell the panda spirit’s name) got combined to the same episode, and Koh stole Heibei’s spotlight. Again, I understand why these got combined, but I think it could have been handled a little better and Heibei should have gotten more closure.

There should have been a ninth episode, placed between the two episode Koh storyline, and the Northern Water Tribe storyline. Why? Because the Koh storyline was really heavy and intense. And it leads right into the season finale. An extra ninth episode should have been added with a more lighthearted tone. Something to ease the tension between the two very intense storylines.

Aang should have been using a glider to flit about the temples in the first episode. But it’s not something that ruins the whole show. It was a dumb that only happens in a single episode in the season.

I really missed Momo and Appa’s presence. They appeared atleast once in every episode, but it was still sad they weren’t more of a presence. Again I understand why. They were so beautifully animated that everytime they were on screen it (without a doubt) cost the production thousands of dollars. They were generous including as many of the unique animals and creatures as they had.

I still don’t think Sokka had enough time to develop a relationship with Yue at the northern water tribe. It was rushed and contrived in the animated version, and it was rushed and contrived in this Netflix version. There also wasn’t any of the chemistry like Sokka had with Suki to make the whirlwind romance work. I never liked the romance from the original, and I wasn’t a fan of it here. But that’s ok, because it’s such a small and insignificant thing.

In conclusion most of the changes I can see made were due to budget, and episode limitations. The creators were clearly trying to bring theater-cinematic quality to what was essentially an eight hour long film. And you cannot deny that this show is stunning. Absolutely breathtaking. Most of the episodes cut were filler, and while hilarious and mostly loved by fans, were stories not as necessary in the grand scope. You could feel the love and appreciation the creators included in this series. It wasn’t soulless, it wasn’t a heartless cash grab, it wasn’t a shot for shot (thank god) but it also didn’t butcher the source material.

I understand that the animated show creators had creative differences with the live action Netflix adaptation creators. But that doesn’t mean that the Netflix series completely failed. As every fanfic writer out there knows, the original authors are not going to love what you create based on their works. Tolkien hated every adaptation of his works, HATED them. But no one is going about saying that the Lord of the Rings trilogy movies were hot garbage. A creator doesn’t have to endorse a project for it to be good.

Netflix ATLA is good, it’s not perfect. And it never was going to be perfect. The cartoon it was based on wasn’t perfect either. But the ATLA cartoon was definitely some huge shoes to fill that set a bar very high. Any adaptation was going to struggle to be just as good.

I think the Netflix adaptation was a treat and a pleasure to watch. I think people should go into it with an open mind and see that it’s not trying to replace the cartoon. It’s a love letter to the cartoon.

PS: According to behind the scenes commentary on the Nickelodeon ATLA cartoon, the reason we didn’t get a season 4 was because the creators wanted a live action film. Nickelodeon offered the original cartoon creators the option to make season 4 or to spend the budget meant for season four on a live action ATLA film. The original creators chose the live action film directed by M. Night Shamalan. They wanted a live action for their show over a 4th season. They had no idea M. night would butcher their baby with his pathetic film all those years ago.

This show was a second chance after the M. night abomination. And you know what? It’s a pretty decent adaptation. And guess what? With a resurgence of interest in the series, we are getting more animated content for the original animated series. There’s definitely something for everyone on the horizon if this succeeds.

popes new gig as a driving instructor was meant to be easy money. he was a good, safe driver — and you were his first ever client. but from the smile you’d given him, all glittery and pink as you bounce over to his car and lean over to his driver seat window to greet him, giving him a direct look down your cleavage — he knew you’d do more than learn driving from him.

you preened under his praise everytime. it was distracting. he was trying to teach you how to safely drive, but everytime he’d let “you’re doing really good, keep going.” or a simple “good job.” leave his mouth you’d nearly swerve off the road. his subtle tips and adjustments would be met with flirtation, and giggly “yes sir”s to the point where he’d forget the rules of the road in an instant.

this went on for weeks, and due to his best friend jj’s constant lecturing regarding; ‘dude, you’ve got a hot ass girl in your car, practically begging for the D — you’re telling me you haven’t swooped on that yet? do better, man.’ pope decided enough was enough. this was either going to fix his problem, or make things really awkward— but it was a risk he was willing to take.

“pull up right here, in this parking lot.” he’d been extra tense that day, rather quiet the entire lesson with a stiff jaw and eyes hung low. you figured he’d been in a bad mood, and even went easy on your usual routine of finding reasons to touch his bicep at each stop light and flirting with him. you did as he said, pulling into the empty lot and finding a space somewhere in some dark corner where it would be easy for you to park.

without the humming of the engine filling the silence now, you turn and look at him in the dim lighting. pope often had two ways of going about things with women — either ultra nervous, or ultra to the point. with you, he’d started off a nervous wreck — practically jizzing in his pants every time you’d graze your manicure against his arm for the first few lessons, but due to the constant teasing he’d been driven to being directly upfront with you.

“look, i can’t take all this teasing anymore.” he stresses, brows creased. your giggly smile drops a little bit, seemingly switching on the innocent act. “every week, you hint and hint that you’re tryna get into something with me— and then at the end of the lesson, you just get out and walk away like it never happened.” he sighs hard, and you have to admit it’s rather cute.

“i’m sorry…” your brows knit together, guilt evident in your expression.

“and that’s fine — i would never pressure you to do anything like that, and believe me — i know this is completely unprofessional to be proposing on the job, and yeah — this could get me fired,” he rambles, working himself up. “but look, i’m a man okay? i am biologically programmed to have a bodily reaction to girls like you who can’t stop touching on me and being all adorable and sexy. that being said — if you wanna fuck, let’s just get it out the way, right here right now— and if not, we can drive you home, and never talk of this again. but you gotta stop acting like that, ‘cause i’m in pain.” he finishes up with his rant, sucking in a breath that he didn’t know he’d been holding the entire time. you stare at pope. pope stares back.

“oh fuck, oh pope!” you mewl into his neck as the car jostles violently from the backseat beneath the dim lighting on the parking lot. you’re naked from the waist down, and his shorts sit pooled around his ankles as you bounce on his cock, dick impaled through you. “s—so big, just like i imagined!”

“you imagined?” he pants, two hands planted on your waist as he helps you fuck down on his lap, staring up at you hopefully as he lifts his hips to meet your movements.

“every night! pictured you punishing me for bein’ such a tease!” you cry out in admission, halting the bouncing technique to roll your hips instead, the two of you groaning at the sensation.

“jesus, okay… well, i can definitely make that happen. you for sure deserve to be punished.” he babbles, pulling you closer — his eyes fluttering shut as you grind on him.

“are you g’nna punish me pope? for teasin’ you in our lessons?” your voice cracks desperately as you feel him repeatedly jutting against your g-spot, making your legs shake around him.

“yes. totally. i’ll punish you real good.” he spits out. it had been a while since he’d got his dick wet, especially from such a perfect princess — so all his concentration was going into making sure he didn’t bust right there and then. he simply agreed without thinking, he probably would have agreed to anything in that moment.

A LOVE LETTER TO QSMPBLR

I saw my mutuals write those and decided that I also want to say a few words.

My whole life I loved being part of the communities. I’ve been heavily into fandoms since I was 10, and now 12 years later I can firmly state that QSMPblr community is definitely in my personal top 3 of all the fandoms I have been in.

It’s been such a fun and emotional and thrilling journey with so many ups and downs and I would never refuse to repeat it all over again. I met so many wonderful and incredible people because of this server that I can’t thank the universe enough.

All of my mutuals and followers made most of my 2023 so happy, and continue to do so in 2024, and I really need this joy with everything that happens outside the community itself.

(I am sorry this text is all over the place, I am struggling with concentration atm)

And I am so elated and a bit surprised for how many of you I became one of the favorites blogs here. I mean, I jumped from barely 150 followers to around 820 since september, and it’s all thanks to having so much fun liveblogging and theorizing with all of you.

Despite everything, I think Purgatory 1 was my favorite ever time period here. Yes, there was a lot of frustration and negativity but I don’t think I’ve ever felt such a comradery as back then, with my fellow Soulfire mains. I was in the post limit jail every single day, because I just could not stop chatting with all of you and reblogging incredible posts.

I also hold very dearly the moment, where Bad showed Tubbo the Soulfire Base Recreation. But the main reason is not even that this happened, but the fact that so many people on tumblr, in dms and even in Bad’s chat were LOOKING FOR ME, because they knew how much I’ve waited for that to happen. It was just so heartwarming to wake up to dozens of messages and mentions. I struggle with ‘nobody really cares if i am here or not’ syndrome a lot, so it made my day to see that people do.

I also want to say special thanks to some of you (even though each and single one of you deserve a separate paragraph). Under the cut:

@qtubbo and @mikaikaika. I love both of you so much, our 247 crew maybe on a kinda hiatus, but every moment we spent together is so special to me. We had so much fun, and I couldn’t ask for the batter gang to gash about the lore and cool posts together.

@lionheartedmusings. I am pretty sure you do not open tumblr these days, but if or when you see this: I am so glad that I got a chance to be your friend. We held so many incredible discussions together, and I am so proud to see your success and happy to be at least a small part of it.

@ultra-raging-ghost @dappersautismcreature @born-in-hell @comradeboyhalo @bigboobyhalo @mangofanarts @haloberry @halo-chainsaw @kadextra @skullhalo @aesthetic-gem and all the other ghosties here. Man, ghosties and tubblings alliance is honestly the best thing that ever happened to this community, and I loved all of your posts and liveblogging of Bad’s lore even when I didn’t have a clue what’s happening. You are all so smart and so great, ghosties never deserved all the hate them and the streamer got, I will fight for you always.

@terezicaptor you always match my freak. and that’s everything anyone in the fandom can ever ask for.

@itsbebebrainrotting @cheese-water @soulfireblue @galatoma @phatcatphergus @angelpaperclip @an0nfr0mth3d3n @flojouno @dozyrogue @charliecuntcicle @sweetmoons @kqluckity @h3xt0r @wackytheorist thank you for everything, i see you in my notes very often and most of you posted a lot about soulfire (which are always bonus points from me ahaha), and i am very glad you are here💛

@sweetie-peaches @routeriver @snopiah @thepenguisalive7 @piecanl @shumistar @diornies @flowerquib YOUR ART MY GOD YOUR ART OH GOD OH MAN OH GOD OH MYGOD SO GOOD SO INCREDIBLE OH MY GOD

@etoilesbienne and @pommunist i think both of you have the most based takes, and i almost feel smarter when i read your serious posts.

I definitely missed some people I would love to thank, but honestly, as I said, all of you deserve a special thank you. So if you read this, you are awesome and I love you.

I am not leaving the fandom. But it’s always nice to appreciate people around you.

💛💛💛

Sarah Smiles | SV5

Summary: You and Sebastian are the same person; ultra-focused on your career and surrounded by a life built and designed especially for you. When your worlds collide, you can’t help but wanting to start letting one another in, maybe the ultimate power couple will be born out of a successful race. Part of the 'Vices and Virtues' collection.

Word Count: 3.3k

Warnings: Mentions of divorce, SV5's long hair deserves a warning of it's own.

In Formula 1, there was never a good time to take a job role. Joining mid-season was bad; having to meet expectations and places that you hadn’t a clue about beforehand. Contrary to popular belief, joining at the beginning of the season was worse. You had all the positivity from the previous season to uphold as well as the constant comparison to the choices taken the previous year.

Maybe that was why you felt so off, standing slightly off to the rest of the Aston Martin meeting room. Although you were clad in identical uniform; your polo shirt and shorts the exact same green of everybody around you, you knew in this moment, you stuck out like a sore thumb. Several pairs of eyes were trained on you, a new face for a start since their winter break. Moreover, you were a woman. Even if it was wrong, there was a distinctive lack of them in the mechanical team.

In your mind, that didn’t matter. If anything, it proved that you were the most competent and suited for this job. But if you were, why did you feel this nervous? Why did you want to be anywhere but in that room? Your life was so perfectly built to accommodate you, why did this job seem to alter it so quickly?

You were soon pulled out of your inner monologue when the sound of a microphoned voice filters through the room. Everybody paid attention to the commands, sitting on the chairs set around the room. You opted for the one closest to you, nobody sitting directly next to or in front of you. You were not too sure about behind and you aren’t turn around to check at this point. Not when Mike Krack was stood in front of you, microphone in hand, welcoming the team back after a well-deserved break.

He began with the introductions, welcoming the new mechanics and PR team to their camp. There was a round of applause for each member of the team, stepping up to the front and giving a little piece of information on themselves. Aston Martin, unlike some of the other teams, had evolved into more than a job; a family knit was quite literally on the face of it, after all. At least, that was what was coming to your mind from seeing the identical stances of Lance and Lawrence.

“And now, I’d like to welcome our newest Race Engineer who will be working alongside our very own Sebastian Vettel!” There was a cheer as the four-time champions name was mentioned. What you were not expecting, was the louder cheer which circulated the room when Mike introduced you by name, motioning for you to come and join him.

You took a breath, focused on the task at hand, stepping up and nodding towards the group behind you. What you didn’t realise, looking back at your chair where your Aston Martin jacket was draped, was the figure sat upright on the chair behind you; a mass of blonde curls and a grin that could light up the entire racetrack, let alone the room.

Sebastian Vettel had been sat behind you the entire time.

A hand on your shoulder from none other than the Team Principal drew you back to the room, handing you the microphone which you gladly accepted. Your mouth opened, offering a few words to the crowd, thanking them for being so welcoming whilst you were finding your feet.

“I’d also like to say I hope I’m able to bring something to this team and lead us to some victories. I’m so thankful to be working with such an incredible team, and to be the four-time world champion’s engineer. Uh…let’s hope we can go for five!” You finish your sentence to a massive cheer around the room, applause coming through your ears. It had taken that few moments to obtain your confidence; now you were ready to face the entire paddock with nothing but a smile and your knowledge.

Silently, you took your place back in the chair your jacket laid upon, picking up the garment and slipping it over your arms. You thought you felt something on your shoulder. Convinced it was simply the feel of the item, you turned your attention back forward, pulling your focus towards the instructions for FP1 later that morning. But then…you feel that tap again. This time it completely draws your attention. Your head turns, what you don’t expect is the most beautiful pair of eyes, piercing into your own. Sebastian is leaning forward, a grin on his face, one hand outstretched to shake yours. It takes you a moment to register this, flustering a little before reaching down to take his hand in your own. But after that, you revert to your old self. Cool, calm, confident.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you.” He whispers, not wanting to take the attention away from Mike, or more importantly, the Drive to Survive cameras nestled in the corner. “I have a feeling we’ll be becoming a lot more…acquainted?”

“Oh really?” You whisper back, a grin finding a home upon your lips. “What makes you think that?”

Before the driver can give you an answer, you’ve spun back around in your seat, hearing Mike’s instructions beginning to end. His final instructions are given, signalling for mechanics to take their positions, engineers to take their final words with the drivers. A final word of luck is given before the man steps down, signalling for his team to follow his lead. You take the opportunity to let go of a breath you didn’t realise you were holding, shoulders sagging and back no longer tense. Effortlessly, feet swing up from the chair, running a hand through your hair, feeling for the skinny elastic band resting on your wrist. Whilst your fingers are busy pulling back your hair, the figure of none other than your racer appears in front of you, his own hair now pulled back by his white headband. In between his fingers, nestle a water bottle. Your water bottle, to be exact.

“You left this under your chair.” He explains, handing over the bottle. You thank him with a smile, taking the bottle within your own grasp. The look down to the bottle causes some hair to escape from your ponytail. Instead of fixing the issue, you simply push the stands behind your ears, watching as Sebastian motions towards the door, the last few mechanics making their way to the Aston Martin pen. “Shall we walk and talk?” You can only nod, your palms becoming sweaty. You tell yourself it’s the grip on the bottle, you cannot be intimidated by the beautiful man with curly hair.

“So, first practice…” You start, keeping pace with the man, your footsteps soon synchronising. “We need to make a statement, it’s the first race back. The driver throws you a questioning look, wondering what on earth you could mean, his eyes wanting a new explanation. “I’ve seen the way you acted at Red Bull- “

“That’s not me.” Sebastian cuts you off. “Not anymore.”

“I’m not saying it is. What I’m saying is we need that Red Bull Sebastian behind the wheel. I want to see the fierce driver in the car- “You pauses, holding a hand up, letting his words catch in his throat. “But we want the Sebastian we know and love in front of the camera.”

“Since when did you become my publicist too?” He jokes, pulling his sunglasses down to cover his eyes as the two of you stepped into the sunlit track of Bahrain for practice. Your mouth opens to talk before one of his hands come out, resting on your shoulder. “I’m joking. I understand you.” Visibly, your posture relaxes, pulling your own sunglasses across your eyes, the sun beating down a lot heavier than you had anticipated.

“I’m glad somebody does.” You can’t help the grin that is ticking onto your face already. You hadn’t yet had more than a glance from the elder Aston Martin driver. He’d been absent from your final interview, having been sorting out some more…personal affairs. You’d met the remaining members of the team; the mechanics were already one big collaborative and Lance was such a sweetheart, (even despite the silver-spoon claims, he was an incredibly talented driver.) However, at this current point, you’d trade them all for another conversation with Sebastian.

And that scared you. So used to doing everything your way, each step planned out to accommodate yourself. Why was he, (let’s face it, practically a stranger,) making you question everything? You had your own life, your own steps, you didn’t need somebody to come along and change it all with a flashy smile and a warm, attractive tone.

“So-“ Sebastian continued the conversation, breaking back into the comfortable silence. “The team is doing a joint lunch together today, I’m pretty sure they’re ordering in pizza. You’re welcome to join, your part of the family now-”

“No-“ Your mind mentally screamed for answering before you could even stop to think. What were you saying? Why would you turn down lunch with the entire team, it was a perfect opportunity to gain some credibility. “Fuck- no, I didn’t mean- I’m not a huge pizza person and I don’t usually-“

Sebastian doesn’t look upset. He looks almost…in awe. His grin finds its way back to his face, amused by your sudden realisation as well as his own.

“I’m…also not a huge pizza person.” He responds, feeling like he was no longer the only human on earth who didn’t bow down to the Italian dish. “Maybe we can grab something together then? Something that the entire team isn’t going to devour before us.” He half-jokes, half smirks. “The restaurant in my hotel does the most amazing sushi rolls, we could go for them?” He’s offering up each suggestion, his own mind practically crawling to spend time with you at this point.

You on the other hand, were aware of the infamous sushi rolls. After arriving late from the airport, the previous night, you’d stopped in the restaurant section before mustering the energy to take your suitcase to your own room. There, your eyes had scanned over each option, eventually settling on the sushi platter, eyes transfixed onto tomorrow’s schedule as you ate alone.

What you were completely unaware of, was the figure sitting a few seats away from you, back turned, eyes fixed in a novel as a sushi roll was half eaten in his palm; his blonde hair unruly, the settlement papers long forgotten that should have been signed hours ago.

“I could go for sushi.” You respond, as the two of you finally step into the garage. Sebastian nodded in agreement, mentioning that he would find you after practice. The driver lingers for a moment as you made your way towards the pit wall, initialled headphones waiting for you to lean into.

“I look forward to hearing your voice on the other end of the radio!” He…jokes? Flirts? Your mind is too transfixed on the current event to tell. Besides, Sebastian has only just completed his messy, (albeit, very private,) divorce. The only reason you were aware was after a press photo released showed Vettel without his wedding band; that an off-handed comment from Lance earlier that day.

You can barely register his words as you take your place, eyes transfixed on the data in front of you. In a matter of moments, Vettel’s voice fills the device, his tone soft as he adjusts around the car, his balaclava and helmet. He calls your name, making sure his radio is working correctly.

“Sebastian, remember what we said.” You note, switching to the readings and data you were used to, the information that was going to help Sebastian through this. “Red Bull energy, yes?”

“Red Bull energy.” He repeats, setting his helmet down, eyes fixed on the track.

Practice was one thing, but qualification? That was another.

The plan you had given your driver had gone perfectly, as you had predicted. After talking one another through the turns, making slight alterations that Sebastian had taken on board, he was currently one of the favourites to be taking pole position. Pats on the back by your team members were given, and after he’d gotten changed and taken a breath, Sebastian came and found you with the promise of sushi.

The two of you had found, were almost identical. Since his divorce was finalised, Sebastian had retained being his own person. He was doing things for himself, no ties apart from his career. If he wanted something, there was no discussion. It happened. The racer however, had found that you lived by the exact same piece of fabric.

Neither one of you were looking for anything. You both had lives to lead and always lived by if somebody could fit into that, maybe you could let them in. And with the blonde driver, it seemed as if that maybe was becoming more obvious by every single moment.

With still around an hour to go until qualification began, you had slinked off to your seat on the pit wall, determined to carry on with your novel. Having your flight delayed by three hours and a phone that you were not able to charge until you reached the aeroplane had led you into a store, picking out a novel which looked interesting. What you didn’t expect was to be mesmerised by the story, having been completely focused for the entire flight and the previous evening in the hotel.

Mike had told the team to reconvene in 30 minutes, giving each mechanic, assistant, engineer and driver time to prepare; after their performances, Aston Martin had a lot to lead up to; they needed their drivers focused. You’d remained comfortable, your noise-cancelling headphones playing classical music as you got lost in the world of a forbidden romance novel. You were so engrossed in your little bubble that you didn’t realise footsteps approaching you. Suddenly, your eyes remembered to dart up, seeing none other than the figure of your race driver in front of you. The man spoke, whatever he said unaudable until you placed the book down, wiggling the headphones until they were around your shoulder.

“Sorry, Sebastian. You all okay?” You asked, eyes catching his own, they practically glistened in the night lights, shining in the track ambience.

“I said how are you feeling?” He asked. “Ready to give them another Red Bull attitude?” Although them days were behind him, he couldn’t help but find the amusement in what you had said yesterday. So much so, that when you had casually pressed your number into his phone over sushi and stories, he’d saved you as ‘Red Bull Energy.’ Maybe that was part of you, too. You had an incredible spark. An independent woman who had her life on track perfectly. Not to mention, you were incredibly beautiful.

“Absolutely.” You confirm to the driver. “We’re going to give them a show, make them wonder why they would ever doubt Aston Martin.” Sebastian can’t help but be in awe of your energy. Somehow, that glint you gave off made him want to blush like a schoolboy again. His eyes couldn’t meet you for fear of that, so instead darted around your section of the desk, seeing the title of your discarded book.

“Before the Sunset?” he motioned towards the book, in shock that anybody else had ever heard of that title.

“Wha- Oh!” You suddenly registered what he was speaking about, picking up the novel and holding it against your chest. “Yes- I bought it at the airport, I’m already in love with it.” Your eyes lighten as you explain your sudden passion for the novel. Sebastian swore he could feel his heart melt a little more with the smile on your face; he was certain he’d be the one to cause that smile one day.

“Where have you gotten to?” His curiosity overtakes him.

“Clara has just arrived in Italy; she’s still waiting for James to call her back.” You explain, replaying the moment in your head, your brain doing nothing but picturing how it would look in person. Excitedly, the book goes back to the table, arm movements getting wilder as you become more passionate. “It’s such an amazing story. Do you ever wonder how it would be, finding somebody who would go across the world for an unrequited love?”

“It’s a beautiful thing.” He agrees, taking a step closer towards you. And then…there it is. Red Bull Sebastian Vettel. “Do you…do you think going through a qualification is enough for unrequited love?” He can’t help the corny line and grin that spreads across his face. And then…the most beautiful moment.

“It depends.” You answer, without missing a beat, looking around to the crowd of workers currently working across Aston Martin and Ferrari. “Who are you trying to impress?”

Sebastian doesn’t say anything. Instead, he reaches forward, his finger and thumb resting under your chin as he turns you back to face him. He’s such a gentleman. He doesn’t say anything, but simply raises his eyebrows, waiting for you to take the very heavy hint. His eyes are sparkling, you’re almost mesmerised. Almost, but not quite. You’re still the strong woman you came into Aston Martin as; you could challenge Red Bull Sebastian any day.

“I’ll tell you what.” You grin, keeping the proximity to your driver. “Get through this qualification in one piece, make everybody wonder where this team has come from today.” You respond, eyes gleaming as Sebastian opens his mouth to respond.

“And then, we can make them talk more when I take you for a celebration drink.” He finishes. You can’t help but grin at the response, knowing that this was the Sebastian you wanted to see on the track. Without a word, you stretch your arm out, offering to shake his hand. The driver obliges, but plays it his way, pulling your arm closer to him, his body trajectory so his mouth rested close to your ear.

“Have I ever told you there is nothing hotter than a woman who can handle her shit?” He murmurs, keeping his tone low so not to disturb or draw attention to the two.

“Red Bull Sebastian is my shit to deal with now, huh?” You tease, referencing the ongoing reference between the two of you. The driver can’t help but chuckle at your comment, the reminder to his younger self, all those years ago, sitting in the seat of his first car.

“I’m Aston Martin Sebastian now. He’s better.” Silently, he pulls away from the top of your ear, his head drawing back to walk away, but not before his eyes catch yours one more time, a wink fluttering across his eyes, a signal to you that it was on.

“I don’t doubt it.” You respond, watching as the driver walks away, the silent promise that you will get him to pole position, and you will get that drink.

Oh my god I hate Mattel so much.

They took the American Girl brand and gave it a lobotomy.

I was going to make a very very very very bad joke about one of the 90s girls getting an eating disorder after watching Britney Spears, BUT DECIDED AGAINST IT because eating disorders are something you don’t joke about, BUT. HERE’S THE THING.

Here’s the thing. Being a tween-to-teen-age girl in the late 90s early 2000s was BULLSHIT. You had 16-year-old Britney Spears singing “Hit me baby one more time” in her Lolita schoolgirl miniskirt and crop top showing off her perfectly flat abs, and then you went to school and had abstinence-only sex ed mandated by the evangelical right wing who gave out purity rings and told you that only sluts had sex before marriage. And then there was the issue of being a fat girl trying to find jeans that met her school’s dress code the days of low-rise jeans and belly button rings.

I ended up adoring Linkin Park because their music gave voice to the rage that I had inside of me because of all that. I wore men’s pants from Hot Topic not only because I thought they were cool, but they actually fucking fit and they covered my ass crack. I wore black because I didn’t fit in to the ultra-skinny, ultra cool kid Abercrombie aesthetic. And THAT is what growing up in the 90s and coming of age in the 2000s was like.

“Nicki Hoffman is a nine going on ten year old girl living in Seattle, Washington just before the year 2000 (the turn of the millennium). She is six minutes older than her fraternal twin sister, Isabel, but one inch shorter. Nicki prefers grunge, ska music, rock, alternative, and skating; she is the "grunge" to Isabel's glitter. She does not like eating raw fish and sushi; her father teases that they can's spell "finicky" without Nicki. She likes sour candy--the more sour, the better. She's known to be shy, to the point Isabel points this out; she initially doesn't have other friends than Isabel. She's very anxious about the Y2K problem and the risks and worries that have been circulating, so Isabel and her create a list to take her mind off her worries of things to do before New Year's.Her favorite color is purple, her favorite animal is a dog (she adopts her puppy, Blossom, as a Hanukkah gift), her favorite band is No Doubt, and her favorite show is The Powerpuff Girls (her favorite character being Blossom). She likes to snack on Wild Berry Pop tarts. She does not like her middle name, Pearl.The family is interfaith and celebrates both Hanukkah and Christmas. “

It’s a sterilized and dumbed-down version of growing up in the 90s, one where they only real problem facing girls is the y2k bug. It’s about the aesthetic but not the experience. Honestly the girls of today deserve to see that their moms had it difficult, too, and that the pressure to grow up incredibly quickly and be beautiful and flawless and instantly become a woman is nothing new, now it’s just on TikTok instead of MTV.

It’s the trap of nostalgia. Just because you were younger and not as aware of the issues going on in the world doesn’t mean the world was better.

How would TFA's autobots react to a bot that like... fell for Wasp the first time they saw him? and this fall looks like the bot jumped off a cliff straight away, the bot looks like they would do anything for him and it would look really bad if he ignored or was rude to them, they tried to defend him when he was accused of being a spy and was in some kind of mourning when he was arrested and like, if they saw him again they would just say "you know..... I don't think I'm over it", basically Wasp/Waspinator was like a first passion never surpassed--

(I love your writing, if you want you don't need to make this request :v)

Wasp/Waspinator deserved better! Now normally I don't like the idea of 'love at first sight'... but this is an exception for Waspinator. Finally someone who appreciates him! I've been experimenting with different writing ways, so if you don't like it or does not follow the prompt, please let me know.

Hope you enjoy!

Autobots reaction to Bot Buddy having a huge crush on Wasp/ Waspinator

SFW, romantic, platonic, Cybertronian/ Bot reader

TFA

Buddy used to be an Academy recruit when they met Wasp the first time. They were simply smitten by the green bot. Sure he had a jock personality and was a bit mean to Bumblebee, but there was something about him! Wasp knew about Buddy’s crush and indulged them a bit by flirting. He did this out of pure entertainment purposes, defiantly because he didn’t feel flustered over the attention.

They were simply devastated when Wasp was accused of being a spy. They tried to defend Wasp against Sentinel asking for at least a fair trial, that plea felt deaf to their audials.

“Sentinel Prime sir, he hasn’t gotten a fair trial—”--Buddy

“Its clear that he was a spy, soldier!”--Sentinel

“But he is still entitled to have a fair trial! For all we know it could have been a mistake—”--Buddy

“Don’t question me! Or you’ll be joining him too!”--Sentinel

The last Wasp saw of Buddy was them trying to reason with Sentinel as he was wheeled out of the bootcamp and off to the stockades.

It wouldn’t be until he had his transformation that he would meet Buddy again.

Buddy was out on patrol; part of the reason was to clear their processor. They had been informed by Optimus of what happened in Blackarachnia’s lab. Buddy didn’t care if Optimus and the Con had some sort of history together, Buddy wasn’t going to forgive her or the Elite Guard anytime soon.

While quietly contemplating everything Waspinator was hiding nearby.

He quietly watched Buddy from his hiding place wondering what to do.

Kill them? Attack? Hide?

He decided to leave when he sneezed.

Buddy turned around and was face to face with Waspinator.

The two just stood frozen in place.

Until Buddy let out a squeal and jumped on Waspinator pulling him into a hug. Waspinator was a bit freaked out over this sudden reaction. He flew up from the ground a bit in an attempt to get Buddy off. He underestimated the steel grip Buddy’s hug had. Buddy began ranting to him how they had tried too hard to try and meet him again. How many times have they went to Sentinel and other Prime’s to try and figure out where he was. Even asking Ultra Magnus. Buddy began apologizing to him for not trying harder for him.

“I’m so sorry Wasp… I’m so sorry…”--Buddy

Waspinator just looked at Buddy and quit struggling. He gently set them both down and gently grasped Buddy’s servos. Simply admiring them before looking at his own newly transformed servos, he shuddered thinking about it.

Buddy simply looked at him and offered to simply walk with him. Waspinator was highly suspicious of this… but he took the chance. After all it had been a long time since someone held his servo so gently.

The rest was history.

The two began having late night meet ups to just rant or talk about anything under the stars. While Buddy had been smitten by Wasp/ Waspinator the first time they met, Waspinator fell harder.

Telling the team on the other hand… that was a different story.

After a while of their meet ups and improv dates, the team began to suspect something was up with their team member and decided to follow them one night.

It was a surprise seeing Buddy meeting with Waspinator in a hug.

Waspinator was the first to notice the Autobots and immediately stood in front of Buddy.

Oh, this was not the way things were supposed to end up…

Optimus Prime

Optimus knew that Buddy had strong opinions on the way Wasp/ Waspinator was treated by the Elite Guard. The two have even gotten into some discussions on the subject.

He is surprised at how Buddy managed to get so close to Waspinator in the short time they had met on earth, unless they had been meeting for longer than he thought.

Optimus has his axe ready when Waspinator has his servos on his teammate.

Buddy moves in front of Waspinator trying to ease the tensions.

“Woah! Woah! Hold on!”--Buddy

“Buddy get away from him!”--Optimus

“Put down the axe Prime! Everyone just calm down!”--Buddy

He is a bit skeptical about what is being said. That’s until Buddy wraps their servo in Waspinator’s, he sees that there may be some truth in this. Buddy begs the team not to tell the Elite Guard about him.

Optimus begrudgingly agrees on the grounds that he hasn’t exactly done anything wrong to the team yet. He makes sure Buddy at least tells someone in the team when they would be out to see Wasp.

While he doesn’t trust Wasp too much, he can’t exactly say no to Buddy’s puppy dog optics.

“I’m going out Prime.”--Buddy

“Where are you going?”--Optimus

“It’s date night Prime. Tonight’s flying around the park.”--Buddy

“Just don’t fly too high—”--Prime

“Okay, Prime.”--Buddy

“And watch out for Decepticons!”--Optimus

“Okay, Prime!”--Buddy

Ratchet

Ratchet has his magnets ready and on when Waspinator moves in front of Buddy. He was not surprised when Buddy moved in front of Wasp trying to get them all to stand down.

He had witnessed many of Buddy’s fights defending Waspinator against any bot or human who thought ill of him.

“Wait! Wait! Wait!”--Buddy

“Buddy move!”--Ratchet

“No! No! Just put down the magnets.”--Buddy

“Kid—”--Ratchet

“Ratchet, please.”—Buddy

Honestly half expected the two to be conjunxed before all this went down.

Its almost pitiful seeing Buddy try and shield Waspinator huge body with their smaller frame.

Ratchet is even more skeptical than Prime is about the claims. But he also has a soft spot for bots in love, especially if their love most likely would end up in tragedy.

He backs up Prime when he instates the telling someone before you go rule. He doesn’t have much to do with Waspinator, but he knows a hurting mech when he sees one.

“I’m going out Ratchet.”--Buddy

“Date night?”--Ratchet

“Date night.”--Buddy

“Yeah, yeah, just come back in one piece.”--Ratchet

Bumblebee

Bumblebee had known Buddy since bootcamp, he also knew about how smitten they were when they first met Wasp.

He never understood why at the time.

Buddy flat out refused to believe that wasp was involved with the Con’s.

Bee remembered that day when Wasp was wheeled out and how Buddy had tried so hard to defend him. It took a while for the both to actually come to terms about the subject.

Trust was a touchy subject between them.

It got better with time even after the whole switching places thing (Buddy knew that something was off right off the bat).

He is first trying to calm his team down when Waspinator moves in front of Buddy.

Bumblebee knows that he is probably the last mech on Earth Waspinator wants to see but he needs to make sure the rest know he is not a threat. Is a surprise when Buddy gets in front of Waspinator and helps in calming both parties down.

“Hey guys let’s just calm down a bit.”--Bumblebee

“Bumblebee move—”--Optimus

“Listen to him, let’s just all calm down.”--Buddy

“Let them talk.”--Prowl

“Thank you Prowl!”--Bumblebee

“If Buddy says to listen to him then its has to be important.”--Prowl

“Thank you, Prowl…”--Bumblebee

Bumblebee is surprised for how long Buddy kept all these meetings under wraps.

He isn’t too worried about Waspinator acting out with Buddy. Anyways, he knows Buddy can handle themselves just as good as an actually Elite Guards member.

Actively vouches for Buddy and Waspinator, which nearly give him whiplash.

It’s the least he can do…

Would take over Buddy’s patrols if date night was around, just not every time.

“Hey Bee, I’m heading out.”--Buddy

“You guys gonna go to the new rock concert? Sari mentioned about it the other day.”--Bumblebee

“Nah, we are having book club today.”--Buddy

“What?! That’s lame”--Bumblebee

“After watching the new movie screening in the park.”--Buddy

“Ahhh… that’s actually better.”--Bumblebee

“When you have a significant other, then you can critique my date night ideas.”-- Buddy

Bulkhead

Like Bumblebee, Bulkhead knew Buddy since bootcamp. They were one of the nicer bots at camp that Bulkhead could remember.

He also remembered seeing Buddy having optics on wasp from the get go. Buddy wasn’t exactly subtly with their feelings.

He remembered how they fought with Sentinel for Wasp to get a fair trial. Buddy was lucky not to have been taken too from all the arguing they did.

Bulkhead had to play the mediator between Bumblebee and Buddy for so long, he is so thankful that they are now on better terms.

He is ready to bash some dents in Waspinator when he pulls Buddy behind him. He has some bones to pick with him after what he did to Bumblebee.

Bulkhead is not expecting Buddy to immediately come running in front of him and beg for everyone to calm down.

“Bulk! Bulkhead! Put down the wrecking ball!”--Buddy

“Why?! After what he did to Bumblebee?”--Bulkhead

“Bulkhead I know that, but please just let me explain.”--Buddy

“…Okay…”—Bulkhead

He accepts the fact that Buddy is dating Waspinator, oh yeah, he knows right off the bat they have been dating for a while.

“Hey Bulkhead, I’m heading out.”--Buddy

“Oh! What’s today’s plan?”--Bulkhead

“I’m taking up your suggestion on doing some art near the harbor.”--Buddy

“Cool! Hope everything goes well. Oh, and remember how to do the brush strokes!”--Bulkhead

“Will do Bulky! Bye!”--Buddy

Prowl

Prowl doesn’t know why Buddy is so admitting to defending Wasp. After what he did to Bumblebee, its not like Buddy to defend someone like him.

Prowl does get more context about Buddy’s history with Wasp from Bulkhead. He is more understanding than before now.

His shuriken’s are out and ready to slice and dice when Waspinator comes in front of Buddy.

“Prowl! Hold it!”--Buddy

“Buddy—”--Prowl

“Trust me on this one Prowl!”--Buddy

“…”--Prowl

“Please…”—Buddy

He is surprised to see Buddy run in front of Waspinator and holds everything.

Prowl is sympathetic over Buddy and Waspinator situation and plays neutral mediator but is secretly on Buddy’s side. He wants his teammate to have a chance at love.

Prowl is willing to cover Buddy on date nights when the time crunch is bad.

“Hey Prowl—”--Buddy

“Date night?”--Prowl

“Yes. I was wondering if—”--Buddy

“Yes, I’ll take your patrol for tonight.”--Prowl

“Thanks Prowl! I promise to come with you on that bird watching thing next week!”--Buddy

Yandere Lusamine x male s/o

It’s fairly well known amongst employees of the Aether Foundation that the once bubbly and kind personality of their president took a sharp turn for the worst when Lusamine’s husband disappeared several years ago, even to the point of driving her own two children away, which only helped to damage her psyche even more.

Whether it be to find something/someone new to bestow her affections onto, or perhaps to cure a well hidden loneliness, Lusamine eventually began obsessing over something other than Ultra Wormholes and pokémon, that being a man named s/o.

S/o is a nice looking man in his early thirties who used to work for Silph Co. in the Kanto region during his younger years before joining the Aether Foundation due to his love of caring for pokémon.

“Hello Miss Lusamine! My name is s/o, and it’s an honor to be working for you.”

This was what s/o said upon meeting his new boss for the first time after being hired to be her assistant, thus kicking off Lusamine’s obsession.

“Yes! He’s the one! I can tell already that this man is worthy of the love so many seem to throw away! I will make him mine soon enough.”

Aether’s president thinks to herself before turning to s/o and smiling sweetly at him.

“Such good manners. I like that. I look forward to having you by my side s/o.”

She tells him in a tone that both flusters him and unnerves him slightly.

“T-thank you ma’am. I’ll do my best to live up to your expectations.”

“Glad to hear it. Now come along s/o, there’s already work that needs to be done.”

“Yes ma’am!”

Following Lusamine to her office, s/o begins his first day working at the Aether Foundation.

Working for Lusamine was rather strange to s/o.

Despite being his boss, she seemed to be doting and almost…loving to him.

Yet s/o didn’t think much of it, and in fact actually enjoyed it due to developing a crush on Lusamine.

The more time they spent together, the more Lusamine’s unhealthy attraction to s/o grew.

“I can’t hold back anymore! The longer I wait, the more I risk some other woman sinking her claws into my darling s/o! He is the only person deserving of my love, and I will not lose him!”

She tells herself before deciding to confess to s/o first thing in the morning.

“Before we go over our itinerary for the day. There’s something you need to know s/o.”

“W-what is it ma’am?”

He asks in a shaky voice, fearing he’s about to be fired.

“I’ll get straight to the point. I want you to be mine.”

She says with a blank expression, which changes to a small smile once seeing her darling’s flustered expression.

“C-can you repeat that please? I might have misheard you.”

“You heard me just fine s/o. Ever since you’ve started working for me, I’ve become romantically attracted to you. I repeat, will you be mine?”

Not wanting to pass the chance to be with his crush, s/o nods and smiles.

“I’d like that. Honestly, I kinda fell in love with you not long after I became your assistant.

Hearing this brings a great big smile to Lusamine’s face as her heart beats faster, incredibly happy that her darling loves her back.

“Oh s/o! Come here so that I may shower you with my love!”

She pulls him into a bone-crushing embrace and kisses him passionately.

“I’m yours now my love, just as you are mine, and I will never let you go.”

Lusamine whispers into s/o’s ear, thus officially making them a couple.

Unknowingly dating a yandere can be problematic at times because Lusamine very much tries to isolate s/o from his friends, family, and coworkers.

If s/o ever questions her behavior, his girlfriend manipulates him into believing whatever lie she comes up with.

“I’ve heard them say awful things behind your back my love, so it’s best that you cut them out of your life and focus on me. You know I would never treat you badly, unlike those wretched people.”

Due to being incredibly trusting, s/o believes everything Lusamine tells him, much to her glee.

Lusamine gets jealous very easily, and if she sees another woman talking or Arceus forbid flirting with s/o, bad things are about to happen.

While not a murderous kind of yandere, Lusamine has the money and connections to ruin the lives of anyone she deems a threat to her relationship with s/o.

A woman flirted with s/o?

Well, she will soon gets a call from work telling her that she’s fired, and unfortunately for her, no other reputable business or company will be hiring her thanks to Lusamine.

“Hmph! That’s what the harlot gets for messing with what’s mine.”

Lusamine thinks to herself while smiles like a lunatic after receiving the news.

One benefit from being in a relationship with the president of the Aether Foundation is that s/o is constantly showered with gifts, whether it be clothes, jewelry, trinkets, or anything else.

Nothing is too grand or expensive for Lusamine’s darling s/o.

“Honey, I appreciate everything you do for me, but you didn’t have to get me this.”

“Nonsense, you deserve it for being such a loyal and loving boyfriend.”

“But a weeklong stay at a villa in Undella Town? That’s all the way in Unova!”

“Yes, considering it a reward for all your hard work as my assistant. It’s about time you and I take a vacation together don’t you agree?”

Lusamine is also incredibly affectionate with s/o, even in front of her employees.

“Have you seen the way the President acts around her assistant?”

“Yeah, she seems so much happier than before. It’s like Miss Lusamine’s back to her old self again.”

A pair of employees whisper to each other while watching Lusamine cling to s/o with a happy smile on her face while touring the Conservation Area of Aether Paradise.

If s/o has any pokémon under his care, they automatically become Lusamine’s favorite pokémon.

After all, if these pokémon belong to her beloved darling, then they’re worthy of her love as well.

“Look at you. You’re all so beautiful! Much like your trainer, but to a lesser degree of course.”

She tells s/o’s pokémon with adoration in her voice, although they are slightly scared of her due to sensing the crazy vibes of their trainer’s girlfriend.

Because of the age difference between her and s/o, Lusamine often feels insecure about their relationship.

“My darling says he loves me, but what if he meets someone younger! I’m a previously married woman in her 40s with two ungrateful children! Not that I’d ever let him leave me, but what if s/o woke up one day and decided he no longer wants my love?!”

This thought drives Lusamine to the brink of insanity, but luckily s/o reins her in and does his best to reassure his girlfriend, unaware of her darker thoughts.

“I don’t care that you’re older than me, or that you had a family before we got together. I love you Lusamine, and I’m never gonna leave you.”

“D-do you promise?”

She asks him, letting the more innocent and child-like side of her personality shine through.

“Yes. I’d never lie or joke about something like that babe, you know that.”

S/o’s reassurance calms her down quite a bit as she hugs him tightly.

“Thank you my darling s/o. You truly are deserving of all my love and affection, even more so than the rarest pokémon in the world.”

Not long after this, Lusamine asks for her beloved’s hand in marriage one day after having a very romantic evening together, which he happily accepts.

“S/o, the light of my life, will you make me the happiest woman in the world and marry me?”

Before she can even get on one knee and pull out the ring, s/o gets up from the table and nods with a very ecstatic smile on his face, much to her delight.

“Yes! Absolutely! I love you Lusamine!”

He hugs her with happy tears in his eyes as she chuckles and smiles softly with a crazed twinkle in her eyes before speaking.

“I love you too my dear, and once we’re married, our love will be eternal.”

Despite her previous husband and children leaving her (at least in her twisted point of view), Lusamine takes solace in knowing that s/o, the lone person worthy of her immense love, will never abandon her like they did, and if someone foolishly dares try to steal the object of her obsession away, well…

The experiments Lusamine and the Aether Foundation plan on conducting involving Ultra Wormholes will require a few test subjects….whether they’re willing or not.

Self-diagnosis

Masterlist I Archive of Our Own

Warning ⚠️ : Romance, Fluff, Fluff and Smut, Love Bites, Licking, Sucking, Touching, Multiple Kiss, French Kissing, Locker Room, Alternate Universe - College/University, Squeezing, Hugging. (It's probably 18+ so I put a warning)

Summary : Leon asked you how to kiss, saying that it would “Heal his mind from being depressed."

Words : 1,828

You were seated in class, spacing out while gazing boredly at the whiteboard. It has been almost 30 minutes since you were waiting for your professor. But you didn't find that old man anywhere; guess he's forgotten about his schedule and is somewhere.

From the distance, you could hear a familiar voice. Laughing and murmuring about something, you couldn't catch up with what they were talking about. But you already know who the voice belongs to.

A minute later, Luis and Carlos unexpectedly entered, their laughter alluring the atmosphere and filling the space in your mind. With a smile, you welcomed them to join, ready to hear some gossip from Carlos.

Step by step, the two approached you.

Luis, a man with silky smooth hair, gently winked at you as you gave him some space to sit beside. The scent of his expensive cologne filled your nostrils.

Carlos set a caramel donut on the table. He licked the caramelized donut off his mouth while smiling and supporting his chin with his palm. He noted. “Hey, you want to hear something funny?”

“You guys have something new to share?”

You've always heard the same story over and over, and Carlos will keep telling it whenever his eyes met yours. But you always enjoy listening to him because it helps decrease your stress levels.

So… this one will most likely be the same story again.

But, judging by Luis' expression, you're not sure. Who knows, they can surprise you this time. These men are full of surprises.

“Chris,” Carlos said, laughing as he shook his head. “He gave Leon a romance novel!”

Oh, okay, that's new. Leon was reading a romance novel. That's rare! And he got it from Chris? It's ultra rare!

But… what's so funny about Leon reading a novel?

Maybe he’s attempting to relax by reading something smooth; the last time you saw him, he appeared frustrated and gloomy. You can’t see a light in his eyes, and he ignores you every time you ask him to eat ice cream.

When you looked at him, you noticed a new minor detail about him, such as a dark circle around his eyes or the fact that he had lost his appetite!

He lost the swimming competition to Luis. And of course, it’s hurting his pride. Leon is always full of himself, and being defeated by someone like Luis is frustrating.

Damn you, Luis!

Luis grinned and gently tapped your shoulder, observing your confused expression. "Hmm... it appears you don't understand, eh? Okay, I'll assist Carlos in reconstructing the whole story. But keep it in mind; it would probably hurt your stomach due to laughter!"

Luis rubbed his hands together and pressed them to his cheek. His eyes twinkled for a moment, and a smile spread across his face. As a code, Carlos raised his eyebrows up and down.

When Luis starts his storytelling, you can detect excitement in his voice and the way he attempts to hold back his laughter whenever he mentions Chris, Jill, or even Claire. As Carlos struck the table repeatedly, Luis waved his hands in the air, trying to calm the situation. He looked at you teasingly after he finished the storytelling, attempting to interpret your expression.

“WHAT? Leon did that? Hell, yeah... I’m so glad Jill didn’t hit him in there.”

He giggles. “He almost passed away!”

“Leon deserves that.”

Leon is so silly. Yes. He's probably the stupidest man in this town.

Well, how could you tell? He asked everyone he met about how to kiss, saying that he wanted to do it just like in the novel; he even asked Jill and Chris about that. It’s so random for someone to ask something like that. People might think Leon is insane.

You mocked. "Luis, you should check his brain; maybe an algae stuck on his brain and he lost its function."

Carlos laughed. "He probably didn't have one!"

Carlos continues the story with humor, and he can’t stop mimicking Leon's voice whenever Leon asks someone those silly questions. Luis nodded, perhaps as proof that the story was real or because he didn't want to disappoint Carlos.

After 20 minutes of chit-chat and eating a caramel donut, you felt drowsy; your head was clouded, and the gloriously blue sky above didn't help your tiredness. Luis' voice was also very relaxing, and it made you sleepy even more.

One notification from your phone vibrated the table in front of you; your nap was disrupted. Carlos stared at you for a minute, trying to figure out who the hell changed your expression from sleepy to surprised.

But he was distracted when Luis offered him a chocolate pie with ice cream on top and a caramel macchiato; who could refuse such an offer?

“Are you sure you don’t want to eat chocolate pie with us?”

You glanced at Luis and replied while yawning. “I’m sorry. But I’m so full right now. I also have a class after this. That damn professor, where is he?"

"All right," he mumbled as he stood in front of the door, Carlos peering over Luis' shoulder.

He added. “Tell me if Leon is doing something stupid to you, and I’ll smack his head with a newspaper.”

The two vanished through the door, still talking about Leon's stupidity. That guy. Who the fuck wants to practice kissing after reading a novel? He must be in a desperate state right now.

"Funny..."

You raised your head, reading his message again as if you didn't want to miss them. The message is a typical Leon message in which he apologizes for neglecting you these days, promises to treat you to ice cream, and invites you to meet him in his locker room.

You replied to his message with a grin on your lips. Maybe you can have a wonderful time with him and mock him about that story until he flushes. Who told him these days to disregard you? He must pay for it!

"Well, maybe I can help you, Leon."

The locker room is a long walk from your class, and you're tired of going there, but that stupid Leon always asks you to meet him there. In your eyes, that locker room was nothing more than a random room filled with chlorine, wet food, and swimsuits, not to mention a large photo of Prof. Albert Wesker in his prime. Leon was always in that locker room following a swim lesson with Prof. Wesker.

Your head is now flooded with Leon and the entire fake scenario you created. You couldn't stop giggling as you walked down the corridor, which shocked Claire when she noticed you.

Now here you are. You smirked as you turned the doorknob, only to be greeted by a familiar face. Leon rose from his seat on the bench and looked to feel the need to punch everything around him.

Before saying sweet words, he grabbed you with his arms wrapped around your waist, slid his lips between your shoulders, and whispered in a raspy voice. "Oh, I'm waiting for you! Listen, I apologize for my recent attitude; I probably hurt you and talked nonsense."

"Well... that's a surprise." You then tease him with your comments. "What's up, sweet boy? Did you get yourself into trouble again?"

"Nope, it's more complicated than that. Something went wrong in my head. I had no idea how to cure it."

He tightened the grip and sniffed your scent. Leon had never held you like that before, which surprised you. He used to hug you, but this hug felt different on your body. Something strange about him piqued your interest.

The way he breathes or talks between your shoulders is out of character for him. He tightens his grasp on your waist and massages your back gently while burying his face between your neck and shoulder. "I'm sorry if I have scared you."

"Leon... are you okay?"

"I'm not sure if I'm okay; my mind is blank right now."

He interrupted his words and let you out of his arms. You could see him now. His eyes became red, maybe because of crying. The dark circles were gone, but there was still a tired look on his face.

It took him a while to speak. "Someone once told me that if you have pain in your heart, you need a kiss from someone."

You surprisingly blinked your eyes shut. Did he think of that? You didn't know whether he was innocent or stupid.

"Who told you that, Leon?"

"A romance novel I read from Chris."

Yes. He is stupid.

You sighed and massaged your temples. Once again, you stare at him in confusion. "And you really believe that?"

Carlos and Luis were right. This guy is simply foolish. You might be wondering what Prof. Wesker thought when he discovered his student's idiocy. Well, Leon was so good at sports other than that... It's disheartening.

But... perhaps this is a good moment for you to tease and play with Leon. You can tell this story to Luis and Carlos again. It would be the talk of the entire university. Who knows if Leon will realize his stupidity?

"Oh, so what do you want? You want to kiss me, sweet—"

You couldn't finish your sentence, as Leon had already pinned your body to the door and pressed his sweet yet delicate lips against yours. It wasn't a bad move; it was a nice and tender kiss, which made you feel lightheaded when he kissed you back.

He rubbed your chin with his thumb to ensure the kiss, allowing you to feel his embrace even more. To be honest, it feels wrong, yet you were loving it when he did it. Later, he began biting your lower lips, tasting his tongue inside your mouth, and counting your teeth. You reached for his shoulder and lightly squeezed it to get a better feel for him.

"Ahh... Leon... mmh..."

After two minutes of trying to breathe, he slipped his hands down to your waist and groaned softly as you breathed heavily on his face. Leon smiled between kisses because your little sweet mouth sent forth a little whimper. His hand slipped inside your blouse and rubbed his fingertips across your stomach, moving higher and higher until he found your bra.

"Mmh... Leon... stop..."

He breaks the kiss and whispers seductively. "What about this?" He kisses you again and places a slight lick on your neck, sucking and biting it until it leaves a red mark. You squirm in pleasure, trying to hold back a moan.

He added. "Let's continue this in my apartment. Because if Prof. Wesker finds out we were making out, he'll probably kill us."

"Prof. Wesker? Hmm… he wouldn’t kill us. He would send us between hell and heaven."

He laughed and kissed your nose. "Okay. But just as a reminder, I might go wild after this because, damn, your lips are so tempting."

La Pluie Deserves a Standing Ovation

I hope y’all didn’t think I’d forgotten about this show after the finale. I was just traveling and have been too busy to write this final review.

La Pluie has been one of the most enjoyable experiences I’ve had as a viewer of TV ever. This show told us exactly what it was from the very opening scenes, and then spent the entire show paying that off. This show opened with an explanation about soulmates, and then immediately countered that with Tai’s parents’ divorce, the note that the pairing of people is ultra-rare, and a happy couple that wasn’t a soulmate pair in a café. Throughout the show it repeatedly stressed that love is about how we treat each other and not something you win via a lottery. It’s so rare these days that we get a show that trusts their audience this much to follow the thread and think about the big ideas along the way.

Doubt and Faith in Acts

One of my favorite things I observed in the show is that only Patts and Tien consistently make the kinds of choices that lead to long-term love without getting their asses handed to them. @shortpplfedup observed during her catch up that this story featured four different kinds of believers: an apostate, an agnostic, a believer, and an atheist. It’s notable that the apostate (Tai) and the atheist (Lomfon) are the ones causing the most harm to other people in the way they treat others.

Throughout the show, both Tai and Lomfon keep making standoffish choices. Tai has cut off his mom and avoids his coworkers. Lomfon is rude and standoffish. Neither of them is able to hold on to their loves because they are incapable of letting go of their own bullshit.

Conversely, Tien goes out of his way to take care of his brother, his family, and eventually Lomfon. I actually liked that Tai and Lomfon had to make opposite choices in the finale. Lomfon needed to show in his actions that he was serious about Tien, whereas Tai needed to show in his words that he was actually listening to what Patts had been asking for.

For Patts, he doesn’t believe that he and Saengtai are meant to be together because they’re connected by the rain. He does the work of caring for Tai because he is kind. He loves Tai because he’s Tai and not because he’s his soulmate. Patts stays present for Tai. He respects his boundaries. He tries to help Tai deal with his problems. He trusts him.

The Ambiguity

As a lapsed Catholic, I gotta say that I really love the way this show ended without fixing all of the soulmate stuff and giving concrete answers. I like that the show holds firm to its conviction that love is not ordained by the narrative; it is something built by people doing the work to be together. I love how this show challenged the notion of the narrative itself mandating the characters be together and instead reminded them (and us) to be present for our loved ones and to listen to their needs.

I think this show would have been weaker if Tai and Patts had restored their rain connection at the end. Besides, I think it gives them room to play with that idea if they get a second season. I also liked that Tien started hearing someone at the end of the season. He is a believer in soulmates, and I think it’ll be interesting to see someone as earnest as him face that challenge.

Releasing the Tension

Before I get to wrapping up, I want to reiterate again that this show has two plot-relevant blowjobs in it. So often these shows tease us and then don’t release the tension. Worse, when they do release the tension it doesn’t always feel like it’s something the characters lean into with their new dynamic.

After episode 5 ended, @ginnymoonbeam teased me for having a moment of panic that maybe I was misreading the show and that somehow Patts wasn’t into Saengtai because of how often I’ve been tricked or teased. Instead, these two end up making out on the floor and Patts was going to blow that man. Then, we don’t cut away from them. We watch them talk about what happened and why Tai is holding back.

Going further, they let Patts and Tai find peace and closure with Nara. Moreover, they treat Nara’s heartbreak seriously. She isn’t ejected from the group, and is allowed to be disappointed and sad about the loss. At the end of the show, they also confirm our suspicions about her and Dream.

It’s just incredible to have watched a show that didn’t rely on teasing us and instead treated the sex and intimacy seriously.

Thank You To Everyone Who Watched La Pluie

I cannot overstate how much joy I got from watching this show along with all of you. When @lurkingshan and I began writing earnestly around episode 4 in the hopes that more people would join us on this show, I did not expect so many of you to actually give it a try.

I think, if you have held off on watching this show because you’ve been waiting for confirmation about one plot point or another, just watch it if you’re still on the fence. When you do watch it, try to let go of what you think is supposed to happen or what you want to happen, and instead respond to what the show is giving you. This has been the most legible show at this caliber I’ve experienced since I Told Sunset About You (2020).

At no point did this show try to trick us about anything, and it trusts us to keep up and engage. This show is better when you lean in. It’s better when you discuss it with others. For a show so much about questioning belief, it is amazing how much this show rewards you for believing in it. I don’t know a better show this year.

I have a lot of folks I want to acknowledge here at the end, including but not limited to:

I want to thank @wanderlust-in-my-soul, @pharawee, and @liyazaki for letting me use their gifs in my posts.

I want to thank @lurkingshan and @ginnymoonbeam for being first through the door with me and committing to getting more folks to watch this show.

I want to thank @respectthepetty and @absolutebl for regularly sticking it out for shows and giving them an earnest watch through their lenses.

I want thank everyone else who contributed incredibly thoughtful writing to this experience, including @shortpplfedup, @syrena-del-mar, @neuroticbookworm, @wen-kexing-apologist, @chickenstrangers, @recentadultburnout, @williamrikers, @heretherebedork, @shouldiusemyname, @sunshinechay, @fadelikeclouds, @slayerkitty, @chinzhilla, @indigostarfire, @iguessitsjustme and @rocketturtle4

See you all in the next show!
