#my bracket is a mess let me tell you

Today I’m thinking about reader who owns a café/restaurant/bakery, and when you fuck up the recipe for something you accidentally summon Demon!Simon who decides you’re coming back with him to share with the rest of the 141.
(Cw for dub con)
He is, of course, mildly annoyed that he’s been so rudely pulled away from his afternoon tea with Johnny, and just as baffled as you are that he’s standing there with you, covered in flour, looking like you’re about to pass out.
“Messed up the recipe, didn’t ya?” You nod, incapable of words at the moment, and he sighs, dragging a shadowy hand down his face. “The salt?”
“Uh-huh…” All you can do is stare at this thing that’s just appeared in your kitchen in a smoky cloud, slack jawed and frozen to the spot because, apparently, adding too much salt to pound cake results in summoning sinfully attractive demons. “W-what do you want?” You tell yourself the wobble of your voice is because of the whispering tendrils of shadow and smoke that slither around him, crawl and twine up his arms like serpents before dissipating into the velvety darkness that floats around him, not because of his chiseled fucking jaw or the cut of his Adonis belt disappearing below his waistband.
“Me?” He scoffs, tilting his head to peer more closely at you. “You summoned me, little witch-”
“I’m not a witch,” you interject, but he pays you no mind.
“The only thing I want is to get back to my tea.” Johnny would have pouted had he been here to hear that, offended by the notion the tea is the only thing he’s missing right now, but the image of pouty, puppy-eyed Johnny, whining about Simon not paying enough attention to him, has his lips curling and cock stirring.
“Tea?” Such an innocent thing, blissfully unaware of his wandering thoughts.
“That not a thing here anymore?”
“Um… yeah, it is. I just… demons drink tea?”
“Among other things.” He revels in the way your eyes widen, lips falling open in shock again, and you take an unconscious step back. He takes a step forward and watches your throat work to swallow, thinks you’re rather pretty when you’re scared and confused as he prowls ever closer. “Well, since I’m here,” he braces his hands on the work bench opposite of you, leans forward and you stumble back into the counter behind you, “how about we make a deal?”
“A deal?”
“That is how these things tend to work.” Your hands grip the counter behind you hard enough to dent the smooth metal surface, knuckles blanched and fingers trembling.
“But I… I didn’t mean to summon you! It was an accident, I-” You don’t get to finish your protests, stunned into silence by the sudden closeness when he’s suddenly chest to chest with you, slipping through some fold in the fabric of space and reality to crowd you further against the counter, bracketed between two impossibly muscular arms.
“Doesn’t matter. ‘M here now, and ‘m not leavin’ without one. I’ll even let ya choose which part of ya I take with me.” He can feel your poor little heart beating frantically against his own chest, can see the confusion and fear on your face as you struggle to parse out the meaning of his words.
“P-part?” He hums, tilting his head again and letting his gaze drag over you, leans further into the plush swell of your breasts and bends down to brush his nose against the column of your neck, breathing in your lush scent. His hips are pressed flush to yours and he can’t help but notice how soft you are against him, even rigid with fear as you are, how perfectly you fit there, and he grinds into you, pressing you further against the counter.
You whine against the metal digging into your back and it sends a shudder snaking down his spine, draws a low, throaty growl from him, and he draws back just enough to peer into your stricken face.
“P-please don’t… don’t hurt me.”
“Only if ya ask me to.”
“I’ll give you whatever y-you want.”
“I want you.”
Your eyes are so wide, irises a speck of color against glassy porcelain, an errant splatter of paint on an empty canvas, and you shiver beneath him, bite your lip so hard he can smell the tang of blood in the air when you break the skin, and his tongue darts out as he imagines tasting the sweet ichor staining your lips.
“You… you mean my soul?” There’s a cautious optimism to your voice, as if selling your soul to him and his ilk is preferable to the other possibilities, all of the wicked scenarios, floating around in that pretty little head of yours. He hums in thought, drags a finger from your elbow up to your shoulder, and his lips peek back in a sharp-toothed grin when you tremble at the sensation.
“I do. Or I could just take you, soul and all.”
“But I’m a good person, I can’t go to-”
“Hell? Oh lovie… all the good girls go to Hell.” He croons and chucks you under the chin, forces you to stare up into the dark depths of his gaze, and grins down at you.
“No, no that’s not true-“
“Lucifer was an angel, Gods favorite, before he fell.”
“He fell because he defied his orders.”
“He was damned because he fought for freedom.”
Your face twists into a frown, brows drawing together and eyes narrowing at him, and he chuckles at the spark of defiance growing in you. He finds it amusing how you suddenly find your wit caged between his arms and pinned against his chest, like his mere presence draws out the rebellion in you.
“If you take me back with you, what do I get out of this? It is a deal after all, that’s how these things tend to work,” you throw back at him, puffing up your chest and standing a bit taller.
Johnny is going to love watching you combust, and Gaz is going to absolutely adore you, lives to compete with Johnny for pretty moans and whimpers of their names. Price will revel in taking you apart, piece by piece, and Simon… He’ll be there to stamp out the flames, to put you back together and show you the real difference between Heaven and Hell.
“Come with me and your little restaurant will only ever know success from this day forward, will never see another month in the red.” Your brows pull tighter and you bite your lip again as you consider his offer, ask yourself if it’s worth it, and he can see it in your eyes the exact moment that you decide it is. “Wha’d’ya say, lovie? Do we have ourselves a deal?”
“Yes.” Your voice is small, hesitant despite the determined set of your jaw, and the moment your assent leaves your lips Simon’s swooping down to capture them with his own, swallowing your gasp as he tastes the iron on your skin—sealing your deal with him.

ROUND 6: POLL #1 - Semifinals
Tumblr media Tumblr media
ROUND 6 POLLS [HERE]
PROPAGANDA BELOW
Siffrin/Isabeau:
I've put mid paragraph spoilers in || brackets || and paragraphs of spoilers make "spoilers ->"
I should mention that them having romantic feelings for each other is a partial spoiler?
What if. A silly little he/they guy. But! He's really messed up emotionally and mentally. Like. Constantly puts others first to his own detriment and calls himself manipulative kind of messed up. Also he's in a time loop. NOT a fun one. But! There's this jock in his party that he can joke with. And they looove making him smile! And! That jock is head over heels for our tiny hero. But! Neither of them can admit their feelings! ||Even if they know the feelings are mutual!!|| AND THE JOCK DOESN'T KNOW HE'S IN A TIME LOOP!!! AND LITTLE GUY WON'T TELL HIM! CAUSE THEY DON'T WANT HIM TO WORRY!!
I love them sooo much! They are my favorite he/they x ||trans masc|| couple <3
Siffrin is soooo insecure and I'm 100% sure Isa could fix him if he wanted to. They love telling each other just the worst puns and jokes imaginable.
[SPOILERS] -> Isa was a big nerd before he decided he wanted to be a huge jock and now he wants to design clothes now that he saved his county (along side his other friends)
Siff is just a little guy (literally)(he is short) who loves the stars abs doesn't remember a lot about his past. He constantly worries if he's being enough for the rest of his companions and always tries his best to make sure they're happy. He has soooo much trouble seeing value in himself and prioritizing his own needs and it makes me soooo sad :( he deserves to have someone like Isa.
[SPOILERS] -> Siff knows that Isa wants to confess after thier battle w the bbeg, but siff can't get Ida to say it no matter what they try :(
Tumblr media
Eustass Kid/Killer:
Propaganda by @chronoirrai [HERE]
Friends/lovers since childhood, would kill and die for each other. [SPOILERS for those who have not watched/read the Wano arc yet] Killer ate a defective SMILE fruit to safe Kid, making him unable to swim and show any other emotion than laughing (and gains him nothing), and he also knew exactly where to cut off Hawkins' arm so he wouldn't harm Kid (because he knows his body so well). Kid promises to kill whoever makes fun of his partner, and lets himself be recaptured after escaping prison because Killer had gotten himself captured.
If this ain't love idk what is.
The captain/right-hand man dynamic. They call each other aibou (partner). If your partner doesn't tell you that he will send whoever laughs at you to hell then he is not worth it. Killer hates his own laugh to the point that he stopped laughing out loud and started wearing a mask. But then he was forced to eat a defective devil fruit (because they promised he could see Kidd if he did) so he's been cursed to only laugh no matter what emotion he's trying to express. That's why Kidd said that, it's so full of weight for someone like Killer. And when Kidd was imprisoned and he worked so hard to escape, but as soon as he saw Killer being pulled into the same prison he just broke out from mans did not hesitate for even a second to go right back in.

Campcounselor!Jj taking you on a picnic deep in the woods and fucking you on the picnic blanket !!!
🧸✧˖°❅👢
“so where’s this surprise you speak of?” you giggle giddily as you follow jj through the woods, the blonde walking ahead of you whacking bushes and branches out the way with a long stick.
“right theees way.” he announces in an accent you were certain he made up. he pulls a curtain of leaves out the way, allowing you to walk through a small entrance first. as your eyes adjust in the late afternoon light, you’re met with a beautiful sight. a checkered picnic blanket laid out on the grass by a small waterfall over some rocks, a small flowing stream passing by it. he’s messily strung up fairy lights over the trees surrounding, and placed mini faux candles around the blanket. jj walks in behind you with a humble smile, wiping his hands on his pants as you both admire his work.
“jayj! you did all this? this is so cute!” you whisper in awe, hands over your heart through the material of your sundress.
“yeah, well you know. you deserve it.” he shrugs, and you lurch over for a kiss.
the two of you enjoy the picnic you’d packed, laughing and telling stories as you eat until you’re full, staring up the birds flying over the tree tops, laying back. maybank rests two hands behind his head, and you lay your head delicately on his bicep, curled at his side.
“so you’re sure you didn’t bring me all the way out here to kill me like in those summer camp slasher movies?” you smile softly, looking up at his profile as he watches the birds.
“well, uh— can’t now, can i? you ruined the surprise… and anyway i forgot my mask.” he sarks and you laugh, his chest vibrating with a chuckle in tow. “speaking of which, dude — we’ve gone the whole summer and haven’t watched one of those shitty slashers? you know those movies are like, my specialty.”
“you know, now i’m your girlfriend you should probably stop calling me dude.” you grin lightheartedly, poking the end of his nose making him scrunch it up briefly.
“shit, yeah, no— you’re right…” he glances at you out the corner of his eye, lip twitching as he gears up for a punchline. “how’s dudette, instead?”
you burst out laughing, clammy hands clutching your tummy making him blow air out of his nose in surprise, brows furrowed as he smirks down at you. “damn, was the joke really that good?”
you grin, elated and push yourself up onto an elbow to look at him properly. when you do so, you feel your stomach go all fizzy inside like shaken pop, and you fight to not look away in shyness. “i happen to think you’re very funny.” you compliment modestly and he smiles, pushing himself up also on his elbow to mirror you.
“well i happen to think you’re very pretty. so i guess it evens out.” as he speaks, his voice gets quieter, eyes on your mouth until you meet in the middle, lips locking in a kiss. you pull back away from him slowly, giving him a look. his eyes flutter open in confusion.
“you don’t think i’m funny?” you grin with faux astonishment after a pause and he sniffs out a laugh, shaking his head and cupping your cheek.
“shutup.” he groans, before kissing you hard. it doesn’t take long for things to heat up, his hands roaming your body through your thin sundress, your own hands sliding over his tanned stomach beneath his blue t-shirt, hat long knocked off his head.
before you know it, after what feels like an hour of licking and sucking what was between your thighs— he’s sliding his dick into the mess he’s made, elbows braced either side of you as he starts to thrust.
“oh, ah — jj— feels — feel so—”
“iiiii know, cupcake. feels good, don’t it.” he drones, panting hot air into the skin above your tit.
“what if— what if someone hears?” you whine, knees bracketing his waist as he rocks you continuously against the blanket that was ruffled beneath you.
“no one’s gonna hear you all the way out here, baby. let ‘er rip, know you got some pretty noises in you.”

So,
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
What a wild ride, everybody.
This tournament went live on July 13th, 3023, and concluded January 1st, 2024. For a long time before, I’d been wondering if I should try my hand at running one of these tournaments, and then I realized we hadn’t had a general tumblr-wide one for tragic characters. I knew that I didn’t know what I was getting myself into, but I decided to bite the bullet and take the URL. The rest is history.
I didn’t have a set plan, but I figured I could take 128 entries. And then in less than a week and a half, I had ~122. And honestly, I wasn’t happy continuing with just those I’d gotten so far, and thought it’d be unfair if it closed that quickly without warning, so I decided to up it to 256 with a max 2 characters per canon after preliminaries. Only after that did I go on a mad search to find brackets that were big enough for that, and I’d almost given up before I finally found these:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Those are all the characters that made it past prelims and into the competition. Some quite unexpected results came out of these matchups, round after round, and honestly I’d consider the first round to have had the most brutal competitions, because I had tried to do the best I could to match levels of popularity with each other, as far as I could tell. (Yeah, that’s why we had c!Tommy v Jon Sims and Primrose v Jinx.). But even eclipsing all of those, as the weeks went on, we were eventually met with Antigone versus Lloyd Garmadon. Ah, those crazy kids.
At some points it was stressful, in the early rounds when I had dozens of posts, each with edited images and alt text, to prepare for every round, but I never regretted starting this. As of posting, this blog has 2,020 followers and has made over 1,000 posts. This will be the last post on this blog—any future asks I receive I will answer privately back to the asker, or cannot be answered if they are anon—but it will always remain here for posterity. The link below is to the similarly-preserved google sheet compiling every word of every submission this tournament ever received.
I’d like to take this chance to say thank you to everyone who submitted characters, supplied photos, sent in propaganda, reblogged the polls, indoctrinated their teachers into greeklitsweep, and everyone who kept good sportsmanship when their blorbos proved so tragic they couldn’t even win. Thank you to the small group of URLs whom I’ve consistently recognized in my inbox from submissions all the way to finals, thank you for letting me know when a name was messed up, and thank you for your patience in-between rounds. (Shoutout to @elemom as well for having their tiktok on the original antigone/lloyd poll blow up.)
If you’ve stumbled upon this blog weeks, months, or even years after this was posted, I would direct your attention to the tag map in the pinned post to sift through the tumblr history you’ve just uncovered. And I would also be tempted to point at the big sign next to it reciting the nuclear zone warning poem. Lastly, if anyone here or there wishes to talk to me about anything regarding the tournament, you’re welcome to DM @twilight-skies.
There were times when I said to myself this was a one-and-done thing—I was NOT dealing with this again, but….keep a look on the horizon, ya never know.
But until next time, it’s been amazing.
Sayonara you weeaboo shits.

Dean & Kenta
So I am obsessed with the parallels between these two scenes in Episode 10, and I’d like to break it down a bit.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here we have two characters who have failed their father figures due to their involvement with Charlie's accident. These conversations both begin with physical blows.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Both Kenta and Dean deny that they intended for Charlie to die.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tony tells Kenta not to bother coming back if he messes up again (I interpret this as a veiled death threat—does Tony ever let people just walk away?). And Alan asks North to call the police on Dean. Both Kenta and Dean are each facing exile from their families.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
There is, however, a contrast in the setting for these conversations. Tony and Kenta are at Tony's house, which we know is full of people. They are even out in the open, rather than in Tony's office. But they are completely isolated, as is the standard for this home. They are standing on a black walkway with a black doorway behind them.
Tumblr media
Alan and Dean, on the other hand, are surrounded by the X-Hunter team, by people who are directly affected by what is happening. Even though it is just the two of them talking to each other, North is literally right there with them. They are standing in a beam of light with a bright window behind them.
Tumblr media
I think there is a lot to be said about the connection these scenes draw between Tony and Alan, although I'm not equipped to comment on parenting styles (I welcome any input). But I don't think any other part of the series has drawn such a clear comparison between these two and the roles they are trying to fill. Their emotional reactions speak a lot to the difference in their character. While both are angry, Tony is filled with entitlement—his finances have been damaged by Charlie’s, while Alan is filled with grief—his family has been broken.
One thing I’d also like to highlight is Alan’s constant use of the word “family” towards his employees throughout the entire show (I know this can be problematic irl sometimes, but it’s quite apparent here that Alan really thought of them as his family), while that word seems to be entirely missing from Tony’s vocabulary, even though these people are legally his children. X-Hunter is Alan’s family, while the Chen Foundation orphans are Tony’s property.
Family is a recurring theme in Pit Babe (insert Fast & Furious reference here), and these scenes do a great job of showing contrasting perspectives on family. "Family is not everyone's safe zone." Family can hurt, family can heal, and family can fail you.
In the end, as seen below, Tony quite literally throws Kenta away from him, while Alan lets Dean slip from his embrace.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Kenta ends the scene framed almost completely by black, but his face is bathed in light, and he is standing upright, while Dean is the opposite; he is on his knees, bracketed by light, his face entirely in shadow.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I also find it interesting how much this dialogue of Dean's feels like it could have come directly from Kenta himself.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
To me, Kenta and Dean are on very similar trajectories, but moving in opposite directions. They have both been background characters, observers in someone else's story, and they're both unhappy with where they are.
Dean was revealed in his scene to be a traitor to his people, and I think Kenta’s scene is showing us that he is in the same position—without coming out and saying it directly. In my opinion, it’s some very nice visual storytelling that’s doing a great job of building up what is coming for Kenta’s arc.

blessing
demon!eddie munson x nun!reader
summary: your personal demon needs to be taught a lesson for interrupting your nightly prayers again.
cw: 18+ nsft, smut, general sacrilege, liberties taken with catholic/religious practices, masturbation (reader), bondage (eddie in chains), degradation, sub!eddie, & squirting (if there's anything I missed lmk) <800 words
Tumblr media
"What do you think will happen, demon? Will fucking me bring you salvation? Is that what you're hoping for?"
The demon you've captured writhes under you in your bed. He's already been weakened, his powers subdued by being on hallowed ground. He doesn't have the strength to overpower you, nor the magics to play tricks on your mind.
It didn't mean you were immune to his... other charms. His teasing touches, whispers in your ear, late night meetings in your quarters.
He shouldn't be here, you should be on your knees in prayer. Instead your knees bracket his slim hips, your habit bunched up around your thighs. You were sworn to a life of celibacy, a life long marriage to God and no one else. But you found no wrongs in pleasuring yourself.
"This is what you want, yes?" You lift your habit further, exposing the patch of hair at the junction of your spread thighs. The demon below you groans, tugging at his restraints at the head of your bed. "Do you think you can tempt me so easily, demon? This is a holy place," your fingers dip into your heat, spreading your folds open, drawing back the curtain for him to see your most sacred place. "This is no place for the likes of you. With your foul words, trying to lead me to temptation," you scoff.
You lean back on one hand, the other making quick circles around your clit. Your head falls back and you let yourself feel it, feel the powerful blessing of pleasure ratcheting up between your thighs. The demon under your thrashed and begged, pleaded for a touch, a taste.
"You're a tease, a whore," he spits venom but his eyes tell a different story, so full of awe, wonder... hunger.
"When I touch myself I honor him. He made me in his image, in his glory. I was made to cherish my body, to carry myself to ecstasy until I saw his light, his face," your words came in gasping, shuddering breaths. You could feel yourself inching closer to the edge. His election below you as well, the way it nudged and searched and longed to enter you, to plow its way past your holy gates, to fill you with its sulfurous seed. He could yearn for your blessing all he wanted, but a doomed soul would not be allowed entry, no matter how he pleaded.
"Your cunt is too pretty to not be filled, o' holy one," the demon smirked even as he gasped, watching your fingers get sloppier, sticky in your juices.
"Then I shall fill it," you slide two fingers in and instantly your pleasure ratchets higher. "And I shall coax out his blessing until you are awash with it."
The demon's curly head lifts, like he's trying to get a closer look at the way your hole flutters around your fingers. Your groans turn to shouts of leg shaking pleasure and you can see it, golden sparks at the edge of your vision. You reach your peak then, pulling your fingers free from your spasming clutch and with them releasing a torrent of your holy waters.
The demon shouts, his deep red skin sizzling as your fingers continue to work at your nub, splashing his chest with the spray of your ecstasy, the essence of your God. His blessing pouring through you and scarring the beast below you.
He roars, bucking under you and you can feel his release splash against your back, a sizzling heat that shoots all the way up to the back of your head coverings.
"Such a bad boy, making a mess," you slip your habit up over your head, dropping it on the floor to be washed later. The demon takes in your naked form, his fingers curling, claws digging into his palms until they bleed.
"It's time to send you back, Edward," you caress his cheek, his protruding horns, down to the mess you left on his chest. He's already healing, his eternal form bouncing back so he can live another eternity in hell.
"Let me stay, let me have you," he begs, rattling his chains.
You press a kiss to his forehead, your bare breasts hanging achingly close to his hungry mouth. But you pull away before he can latch on and taste your flesh for himself.
"You have to go back, Edward. I can't fuck your spirit whole."
The demon growls and before you can anger him further you close your eyes and will him away. His rattling chains fall silent and you know he's gone.

Do you honk?
Tumblr media
Pairing - You x Buggy
Length - 560 words
Summary: You make Buggy honk during sex
Rated - Explicit 💦 🔞🔞
Tags - Plot What Plot, Dirty Talk, Light D/s, Mean Dom! G/N Reader x Sub! Buggy, Overstimulation, Fluff
~*~
You reached out a hand to Buggy's face. "I love your nose," you said. "Does it honk?"
Buggy pushed your hand away. "What are you talking about?" he snapped. "Of course it doesn't honk, it's just a nose! It's my nose."
You smiled. "Such a cute clown nose."
"Shut up." Buggy blushed prettily.
You watched him hungrily. "I bet I can make you honk, clown."
"I… I don't honk," Buggy protested.
You chuckled slyly. "You weren't listening, baby boy." You leaned in closer, bracketing Buggy with your arms. "I said, I can make you."
Buggy swallowed. "Oh," he said, as the blush rose in his cheeks.
~*~
You took Buggy to bed. You had him on his back, naked and legs spread as you had your way with him.
Buggy didn't protest (much), he was such a needy little sub. His hands scrunched in the bed sheets as he moaned in pleasure while you had two fingers up his ass and your other hand around his thick cock, jacking him slowly.
Buggy's long blue hair spread around on the white pillowcase as he threw his head back on a strangled moan.
"You close, baby boy?" You asked.
Buggy whimpered a yes.
You grinned down at him. "Let me hear it, clown. I want to hear you honk."
"Wh-what?" Buggy gasped. "I don't… I don't…?"
"Come on." You twisted your fingers in his ass and nailed his prostate.
Buggy cried out, his body tensing up.
You shifted your hand and gripped the base of his cock, cutting off his release early.
"Hey!" Buggy complained. "What gives?"  
"You don't come until I hear you honk," you ordered. "Now honk for me, you sexy clown."
"Fuck," Buggy murmured. He was a sweat damp and very pretty mess upon the sheets. He was so desperate to come, and he swallowed his pride.
"Honk," he murmured, the softest of whispers.
You grinned proudly. "Louder," you said, as you curled your fingers and nailed his prostate once again.
"Ah!" Buggy cried out. "Honk!" he gasped.
"Good boy," you said, easing your grip on his cock and jacking him with swift, slick motions. You fingered his sweet spot again and watched him come apart in your hands. "Let me hear you, clown," you ordered.
"Honk," Buggy sobbed, coming in great spurts. "Honk, honk… oh, fuck."
"That's it," you soothed. 
Ribbons of white come painted his abdomen and your hands. You slid your hand up to the head of his cock and thumbed the slit. "I think you got one more honk left in you, baby."
"No, please," Buggy begged.
He didn't use the safe word so you didn't cease. You curled your fingers in his ass to wring one more orgasm out of him.
"Ah!" he cried out.
"Honk for me, clown," you ordered, holding his cock as it spilled once again.
"Honk!" he groaned, utterly wrecked.
You milked every last drop before your beloved clown collapsed sweaty and spent upon the mattress, gasping for breath.
"See, I knew I could make you honk," you said smugly.
Buggy flipped over onto his front and buried his face into the pillow to hide his blush. "Don't you dare tell anyone," he said, voice muffled.
"Not to worry, baby boy," you replied, and smacked his bare ass just to hear him whimper with pleasure. "It will be our little secret."

Part 11 - The Death of Peace of Mind
I sat in the chair of the restaurant, my chest shaking with laughter at Jolly’s retelling of one of our first stage performances. This was before Matt joined us, and we were an absolute mess of a band. Our first album had just released, and Sumerian was throwing us into shows we were absolutely not ready for.
I had stood in front of the massive crowd at the festival, my throat sticking together in fear. Vince was already playing the opening rift to Exit Wounds, and I completely spaced the words.
I stood, still as a block of cement, staring out at the faces. After about three repeats of the opening to the song, Nick finally hollered into the microphone.
“Noah, get it together!”
Something about that snapped me out of my trance, and I began singing, still terrified.
It took half of the song for me to find a rhythm. And then, I went absolutely berserk.
I jumped around, head banged for my life, and sang the vocals. While I was thrashing on stage, screaming loudly into the mic, I somehow managed to get a little too close to my stand, swinging my face straight into the bracket that held the mic.
Cutting my face just above my left eyebrow, I was oblivious, still head banging, and spraying blood all over myself, Jolly, and some members of the crowd.
It was horrific. Vince had described the scene as ‘a bloodbath with a little metal thrown in’. I didn’t realize I was bleeding until I felt the hot liquid running into my eye. I wondered why the entire crowd was staring at me like I was insane.
“Oh my God! Did you stop the set?!” Laura asked.
Nick shook his head. “Fuck no, dude! He tied a bandana around his forehead and played the entire thing! It was the most hardcore thing we had ever seen!”
Mileena was staring at me from where she sat in the chair next to me, inspecting my face. “I don’t even see a scar!”
Chuckling, I rubbed my forehead. “I had to get ten stitches after. The guy at the ER was cool, managed to put them in my eyebrow so you couldn’t see the scar.”
She reached up, running the pad of her thumb over my eyebrow, and smirked. “Glad you survived.”
Her words were sarcastic, but she giggled after.
It had been three days since Mileena’s deposition, and since that time, we had been slowly getting back to a normal amount of communication.
I could tell she was hesitant, but I insisted that we needed to at least try and get along, for not only Addison’s sake, but ours as well.
Whether we wanted to admit it at any given time or not, we needed each other. And after what she said to Rachel at the law office? All of my anger toward her had faded, and I was, once again, finding myself seeking her out more and more.
She was soft with me, allowing me to call at least once a day, and would converse with me in texts. We were trying, but progress is slow.
We sat at the large table, big enough for Leena and I, Laura and Nick, Jolly, and Folio. Nick had asked us to join them for dinner, but wouldn’t tell us why.
We had ordered and eaten, now half of the group were enjoying drinks, with the exception of Leena, Laura, and myself. They continued listening to Jolly tell his stories, which was certainly his strength in conversation, when I felt a hand on my knee.
I looked down, noticing Leena’s hand casually placed on my leg, her eyes still looking across the table at the guys, enthralled in the tale he was telling. It was comfortable, a familiar form of affection.
I let my hand fall over the top of hers, squeezing gently, watching as her lips quirked subtly at the gesture.
“Okay, as much as I want to hear another embarrassing story of myself…” I said as I lifted my free hand in the air. “Nick, are you going to tell us why we’re all here?”
Stealing a glance across the table at Laura, his eyes sparkled, something excited.
“You ready?”
Laura was resting her chin on her hands, a warm smile on her face. “Whenever you are, babe.”
Nick reached down beside his chair, a black gift box appearing on the table, bright red paper ribbon wrapping the top.
“Should we let Mileena do the honors?” Nick raised an eyebrow at Laura, who just nodded in response.
Leena’s hand left my leg to reach for the box, smiling wide. “Me?” She held the flat box, running her fingers over the ribbon. “What is it?”
Laura bumped Leena’s elbow from where she sat next to her. “Open it and find out, dork.”
Carefully, Mileena pulled the ribbon with her fingertips, until the bow on top fell loose. She shimmied the top of the box off, all eyes curiously trying to see the contents.
Red paper covered whatever was inside, and Leena unfolded it, revealing some kind of fabric underneath.
Her hands covered her mouth, and she gasped sharp.
“Oh my God…”
I leaned over to see. “What is it?”
Inside the box, under the paper, was a red and black tie dyed shirt, that was obviously very, very small, with the words ‘Baby Omens’ written over the top.
No, it wasn’t a shirt. It was a onesie.
When my brain finally clicked together, my eyes snapped to Nick.
“Dude!”
“What?! Someone fucking show us!” Folio and Jolly were bouncing on either side of Nick.
“Leena, hold it up.” I pushed the box toward her. She carefully grabbed the fabric, eyes welled up with tears, and held it on display. I watched Jolly and Folio’s mouths fall open, eyes bulging.
“You’re having a baby?!” Folio hollered, and Jolly wrapped an arm around Nick’s shoulders.
“Hell yeah, dude! Congratulations!”
Mileena had set the onesie back down, noticing the piece of film paper in the bottom of the box.
She lifted it, eyes scanning the sonogram photos, and tears began spilling.
“Lo! I’m so fucking excited!” She squealed, wrapping her arms around her best friend, “You’re going to be a Mom! I’m so fucking proud!”
Laura squeezed Leena tight. All of the guys stood, wrapping up Nick in a huge group hug.
“Bro, you’re a Dad now! I’m not alone anymore!” I told him, hands on his shoulders.
He smiled at me, something like excitement and fear mixed on his face. “You better be ready to show me the ropes, dude.”
I laughed. “What fucking ropes?!”
This made everyone break out in wild laughter.
“How far along are you?” Folio asked as Laura sat back down in her chair, and we all followed.
“Fourteen weeks.” She said proudly.
“How long have you known?!” Leena sounded absolutely hysterical.
“Relax. Only a few weeks. It didn’t even occur to me that I was late until Nick mentioned something.”
He nodded to her statement. “Girl went like two months without a period. See, she thinks I don’t pay attention.” He held his hands up.
She scoffed. “You pay attention to my cycle, but not to where you left your favorite socks?”
“Ya got me there.” He smirked. Reaching a hand across the table, he held hers tight, giving her the most genuine, lovesick look I’ve ever seen.
For a second, just a passing breath, I was jealous.
But my love for them, and my genuine excitement at being an Uncle, and my brother finally being a Dad, overshadowed any ill feelings I had. This was great news, and a hell of a way to cheer us up out of the darkness we had all been swimming in.
We stayed at the table, talking and celebrating for a while longer, before finally making our way out of the restaurant.
I stood, the palm of my hand pressed to the small of Leena’s back, guiding us toward the side of the restaurant with the group.
“Leena, I know you didn’t drive here. Are you getting a ride with us?” Laura looked at her, but I caught her glancing up at me.
“Uh,” She chewed on her lip, deciding her next words, or waiting for me to.
“I can give her a ride.” I spoke solidly.
Nick raised an eyebrow. “You’re going to drive out of your way to take her home, when we’re already going there?”
Clearing my throat, I wrapped a hand around Leena’s hip, building some confidence.
“I’m going to take her home.”
Laura gave us a knowing look. “Home…as in…?”
Leena just giggled, and turned, her hand pulling my arm along with. “Goodnight everyone.”
The drive back to the house was filled with Leena gushing over Laura and Nick’s news.
“I can’t believe she didn’t tell me! I mean, I can. I know she had concerns before about fertility, but still! We live together! I didn’t notice!”
I laughed. “Maybe you were distracted?”
She shrugged back into the seat, looking out the window. “How self-centered is that? I’ve been so wrapped up in my own bullshit that I didn’t know my best friend was pregnant?”
Reaching a hand over the console, I brushed my fingers over her arm, grabbing her attention.
“It’s been a rough year, Mileena. It’s only fair that you had a lot on your mind.”
“I guess. I just feel bad.”
“You know now. You can be there for her every step of the way. She’s still early in. You’ve got plenty of fun ahead.”
She laughed at that, me joining her. “Oh, yeah. If she’s anything like me, she’s going to be pretty moody.”
I raised an eyebrow at her. “If she’s anything like you, Nick will be hiding at our place at least twice a week.”
She stared at me, mouth hanging open. “What?!” Her hand reached over to swat at me. “That’s why you were always ‘going to the studio’?!”
I couldn’t stop the bursting laughter coming out of me. “Babe, I have a studio in the house. How did you not know?!”
“You fucker!” She was cackling, but also pawing at me. I caught her wrist in my hand, reaching up and licking a long stripe along her forearm in retaliation.
“Ew!” She snapped her arm back, rubbing it on her jacket, cringing. “I hate being licked!”
Lowering my eyes at her for a second, I smirked. “That’s not true.”
She narrowed her eyes at me. “In-sufferable.”
After only about ten more minutes, we were pulling into my driveway beside Andrea’s car. I let us in the house, and we both stopped, amused at the scene in front of us. The living room was in a haphazard state of disarray, toys sprawled all over the floor, a few stray Cheez-its scattered on the coffee table. The TV was still playing the tail end of Harry Potter and The Sorcerer’s Stone, and Angel, like the true marvel he is, was laying starfish style across the entire couch, snoozing.
In the recliner, Andrea was leaned back, hair askew, and eyes closed with sleep. Addison was laid on top of her, face pressed against her stomach, already in pajamas and hair braided tightly on the back of her head.
I stole at glance at Leena, who was trying not to laugh at the scene.
She looked up at me. “You put Addie in bed and I’ll wake Andrea?”
I just nodded, slipping my shoes off and dropping my coat on the back of the couch. Leena walked over to Andrea, carefully peeling the baby off of her and handing her to me. She stirred for only a moment, eyes cracking open, before she dropped her head down on my shoulder, right back into her dreams.
I heard Leena rousing Andrea as I made my way up the stairs and into Addie’s room, Angel right behind. I laid her down on her toddler bed, tucking the blankets in around her, and cracking the door.
By the time I was headed back down, Leena was hugging Andrea goodbye.
“Sorry she was such a handful.”
Andrea waved her off, smiling. “It’s fine. She’s just so rambunctious these days.”
“Well, she’s almost two, so it’s getting harder to keep a handle on her.” Leena shook her head.
“Oh absolutely. Let me know what you all do for her birthday. I already got her a gift.”
I stepped up behind Leena, putting a hand on her shoulder. “Party will be here. We just haven’t settled on a day yet. It’s in two weeks, so we’ll let you know soon.”
Andrea nodded, smiling before she left, leaving Mileena to lock the deadbolt behind her.
She turned and looked at me, her eyes big and brown, tearing through my soul.
I had her, something in me told me I did, but I was still so unsure.
“So.” I sighed, putting my hands in my pockets.
She grinned. “So.”
Daring to press my boundaries, I took a step toward her, causing her to back up, back flat against the door. I kept myself impossibly close, without making actual physical contact with her body. Her eyes looked up at me, a serious look on her face.
“What now?” I asked.
“I really don’t know.”
My teeth pulled at my lip, waiting a beat before I finally decided on what to say.
“Would you hate me if I kissed you?”
Her eyes widened subtly, her face recognizing the memory I was drawing from.
Towering over her, and pressing forward to box her in against the door, I leaned my head down so my lips were level with her ear.
“Would you tell me to stop?”
Pulling back just enough to meet her eyes, I watched as her tongue grazed over her lip, stare locked on me.
Her eyes fluttered closed, and her lips parted just enough to invite me in. I leaned in close, and brushed our lips together so gently that it was barely considered contact.
I felt her fingers very slowly press into my chest, and wrap around the fabric of my shirt, tugging me in closer.
That was all it took.
Locking my hand around the back of her neck, I pulled her in, pressing her lips to mine hard, fingers tangling in the long hair at the base of her skull. Her mouth moved with mine, her tongue fighting past my lips, tasting my own with fervor.
A soft, sweet moan erupted from her throat, which threw me over the edge. My hands grabbed her waist, lifting her off the ground. This pulled a sharp squeak out of her before she wrapped her legs around my waist, replacing her mouth on mine.
Her body was locked in place against the door while my hands gripped her thighs, nails leaving marks where they dug in.
I let myself have this moment, body pressed against her, lips locked with hers, electricity zapping between us all at once. It was so satisfying it almost brought tears to my eyes.
It felt fresh. It felt honest. It felt like something was finally the way it was supposed to be. It didn’t feel desperate or sad. No pain. All love. All acceptance.
This was what was supposed to happen. This is where we picked it back up.
I used my hands to secure her to me before pulling away from the door, turning us, and walking us over to the couch. I sat down, her legs straddled over my lap as she kissed me, her lips trailing down to my jaw and neck. I let my head fall back as her tongue left soft kitten licks over my adam’s apple, a chill running up my spine.
Her fingers were already pulling my shirt up from where it was tucked into the waistband of my pants. Hands popping open the front of my slacks, she unzipped them easily, never letting her mouth disconnect from my skin.
“Noah?” Her voice was so small, muffled against my ear.
“Mileena?”
“I’ve got a lot to make up for, so I think you should get comfortable.” Her voice was barely above a whisper. I felt the air leave my lungs all at once, my hands falling to the sides of us, completely helpless.
Did I die? Was this heaven? If God is real, is this what everyone talks about? Nirvana, if you will.
She slipped off of me carefully, her long skirt sitting just below her belly button, showing off the black jeweled ring tucked into it. Her black, tight crop top hugged her perfect, round breasts. She had obviously opted to go braless this evening, as her nipples were pointed hard through the fabric of her shirt.
Punch-drunk on the sight, I just watched as she smiled devilishly at me, her hair falling partially over her one eye, and kneeled down in front of the couch.
Her hands trailed up my legs, tugging on my slacks so they slipped down my waist to my thighs, exposing my black boxers, bulging in the crotch.
Slowly, meticulously, she ran a hand up my leg and over my cock, massaging through the fabric. A hiss fell from my lips as I watched, mesmerized by her every move. After more than a few painfully long moments, she hooked her fingers into the hand of my underwear and pulled them down, releasing my cock.
Any sense of calm and collect she had prior to that moment was gone, as she sat up straight in an instant, and leaned forward to run a long stripe down the underside of my shaft. My legs twitched, and I couldn’t help but moan loudly. It was such an insanity-inducing feeling.
She let her tongue circle the head a few times, gathering all of the precome she could, before wrapping her lips around me and letting my cock slide all the way down the back of her throat, and gagging harshly as a result.
My hips bucked involuntarily, and my hand gripped the back of her head, fingers digging into her scalp.
“Holy fuck.” Was all I could manage as she pulled back, tears in her eyes, her eyeliner smudging just enough that she looked fucking edible.
I assumed she would need a moment, but she swallowed back down once again, gagging herself on my dick, gripping the base with her hand.
The sight was ungodly, and I was going to fucking lose it. I wouldn’t last long with her behaving this way. This was what men only dreamed about.
“God damn, girl. You must’ve really missed me, huh?” My fingers tightened in her hair, pulling it at the roots.
She could only manage a garbled ‘mhm’ with her mouth so fucking full.
She choked again, but continued on like an absolute warrior.
“Wow, what a good fucking girl. Choking on my cock like that?” Pressing her down harder, I felt her throat spasm around the head. “You’re so fucking starved for it, I can tell.”
She pulled against me, her head popping up sharp to catch her breath. I let go for a moment to allow it, tears now falling freely.
For a second, I almost thought it was too much, until she just licked her lips and went back at it, barely skipping a beat.
My head fell back on the cushion, eyes rolling to the back of my skull. It was too good, and I wouldn’t last.
“I’m going to come if you don’t slow down, Princess.”
Her eyes flashed up at me, a sweet, innocent look from under her lashes. I felt my entire body convulse.
“Jesus!” My pelvis jerked, pushing myself further down her throat, eliciting a wet gagging sound.
With a few thrusts, I was spilling down the back of her throat, my cock twitching in her mouth while she swallowed.
My hand fell back onto the couch, releasing my grip on her. She pulled off of me with a pop of her lips, smiling up at me, leaning her cheek on my thigh.
“Good?”
I was still attempting to catch my breath when I looked down at her.
“Something like that.” My words came between gasps of air.
She chuckled, standing, and wiping her mouth with the back of her hand. “Well, I’m glad you enjoyed it.”
She turned, moving to walk back toward the other side of the room, but I was too quick, lunging and pulling her to topple on top of me.
I connected our lips, eagerly tasting the salt and saliva on her tongue. My brain was racing, dying for a taste.
Disconnecting us for a second, I smiled at her. “Where you going?”
Tucking her hair behind her ear, she grinned. “To fix my face. I’m sure my makeup is all over.”
I pressed my lips to her cheek, humming against her skin. “You look stunning.”
She rolled her eyes, shaking her head. “Sure, I do.”
“You do.” I pulled her on top of me, and I fell back on the couch, laying flat. “Good enough to eat.”
My hands grabbed her hips, forcing her onto my chest. She steadied herself with a hand on the back of the couch.
“What are you doing?”
I pulled at her skirt, tugging at the waistband.
“Take it off.”
Carefully, and with an inquisitive look, she lifted herself enough to slide the long skirt off, leaving her navy blue panties beneath.
“Those too.”
She obeyed, sitting back down on me and staring, a primal hunger in her eyes.
Making my point as clear as I could, I pointed to myself and demanded. “Sit.”
Her eyes blew wide.
“Noah…”
“I’m not asking.”
“I don’t want to.”
“Bullshit.” I tugged at her hips, dragging her forward against her physical protests. “I’m not fucking asking.”
She shook her head. “I’m not sure if you’ve noticed, but the depression has put more than a few pounds on me.”
I scoffed. “And?”
“And, I will fucking crush you!”
There wasn’t anything about what she said that made sense. Was she as thin as she once was, when we first met? No. Did I give even a half of a fuck? Not a chance.
I laughed, reaching up to nip my teeth at the inside of her knee.
“You will not crush me. Suffocate? Maybe. I’m good with it. Will gladly pass away between your thighs, Princess.”
“Noah! I can’t! I’m fat!”
My laughter stopped abruptly, and my hands stilled. I narrowed my eyes at her, reaching a hand up and gripping her hip hard. She griped at the force.
“Listen to me.” She tried to avert her eyes, but I reached up and caught her chin, forcing her to look back at me. “Don’t ever say that about yourself again. You are a fucking goddess, you understand me?”
She pouted, clearly not hearing what I was saying.
“Don’t believe me?”
She snorted. “You’re being dramatic.”
“Oh?” I quirked an eyebrow and released her, pulling my arms back behind my head. “Okay, Princess. Exactly what parts of you are fat?”
Covering her face with her hand, she groaned. “Everything! My waist. My hips. My thighs. My ass. I have stretch marks. My breasts aren’t as perky anymore. My neck is chubby. I’m a mess, Noah.”
She looked to be on the verge of tears, so I leveled with her.
“Alright, let’s take this one at a time.” I propped myself up on the couch pillow, massaging my hands into her legs.
“Your neck?” My hand trailed up, gripping the skin around her throat, and I smirked. “Perfect fucking size. Fits perfectly in my hand.”
A tinge of pink crept up to her cheeks. So far so good.
“Your breasts?” I let my hand fall onto her right breast over her shirt, my other hand gripping the opposing. “Perfect. Now not only a sight to behold, but also knowing you used them to feed my baby? To give her the nutrients and immunity she needed to be healthy? There’s something instinctive about that. I love them more now than I did before.”
She raised an eyebrow at me.
“Your ass…” I reached back behind her, gripping my fingers into the skin on either side, and she rocked back into them. “Fucking delicious. Would bite through it if you’d let me. After everything, it’s only gotten easier to grip, which is so fucking great. Would live here if I could.”
She smirked at me, leaning back against my hands. I could feel a familiar moisture beginning to pool against my chest.
“What else was there?” I perused, then smiled. “Oh right, your thighs and hips?”
My hands grabbed her thighs, pulling them apart, taking in the sight of her lips glistening. It was working.
“These are honestly my favorite part. They’re so fucking thick, strong. Wrapped around me? Fucking Christ.” I licked my lips. “Could die like that, baby, I swear it.”
“I get it Noah.” She giggled.
“No, no. Let me finish.” I finally ran my fingers gently over the skin of her abdomen, tracing the few stretch marks she typically hid. “These,” I smiled, this time a warm smile. “are the proof that you’ve endured the hardest task a woman can do. You gave me my baby girl. I thank whatever God is out there for every last one of these stretch marks.”
I could see her eyes getting misty.
“You, and your body, are perfect. Everything about it is amazing, and all I want to do is bury myself inside of it…if you’ll let me.”
Her mouth hung open, clearly disbelieving everything I had said.
“Now that we settled all of that,” I waved my hand between us, and grabbed her hips again. “would you please sit on my face?!”
A hard, strained laugh fell out of her, but this was truly no laughing matter. I needed her.
So instead of asking, I pulled her, using the strength of my arms to bring her to me, her pussy centimeters from my face.
“Fucking finally.” I groaned before diving in, and latching to her core. My mouth was lapping at her, making her squirm and wiggle.
I felt her knees trying to pull away, trying to get further off of me. She was hovering, trying not to put weight on me, so I grabbed her thighs, and pulled her down, pressing her against my face.
My eyes shot up, giving her a warning glare, before I went back to my work.
I licked her clit softly, teasing her. The sounds coming out of her were unholy, making me work harder to draw them out.
Her arm was gripping the back of the couch, and I could see her stomach muscles tightening. I hummed into her, my lips finding her favorite spot and attaching mercilessly.
“Oh my God, Noah.” Her head fell back, and her body began writhing, riding my face, making me smile.
I felt her let go, her pussy bucking into me, my voice making soft vibrations while I tormented her.
“I’m going to come if you keep doing that.” She warned.
Naturally, I’m not one to heed a warning, and continued my ministrations on her sweet spot, making sharp screams burst out of her.
“Oh God, Noah. Fuck, don’t stop. I’m going to come. Oh my God.”
My eyes were closed, focused. I felt my dick twitching between my legs, already back at full attention.
Her orgasm ripped out of her in the form of a guttural scream, riding herself through it in my lips, and I took my time lapping up every last drop.
Eventually, unable to hold herself up any longer, she fell backwards on the couch, her chest heaving hard.
I sat up, pulling her back to me, and lined myself up to her with precision, surprising her as I pressed in all the way to the hilt.
Her eyes popped open, mouth falling open.
I sighed, so fucking stimulated, so fucking alive.
My hips thrust hard into her as I bent down to kiss her lips.
She was feral, a wild animal, grabbing my hair and pulling my face to hers, tongue licking my lips in a sloppy fashion, tasting herself on my skin.
There wasn’t much rhythm to my movements, desperate to feel every inch of her around me.
“Leena,” I breathed, catching her eyes. “you’re so fucking beautiful.”
She couldn’t respond, so fucked out and spent already.
“I can’t believe I ever let you leave me.” I snapped my hips harder, the sound of skin on skin filling the walls of the house around us.
“Can’t believe I ever let anyone else touch you.” My rage was pouring out through my words. “No one gets to touch you.”
She still didn’t respond, just gripping my shirt with her fingers, nails attempting to rip at the skin underneath.
I stopped, pulling her up and grabbing her hips, flipping her onto her stomach.
“Ass up, Princess.”
She eagerly followed command, getting up on all fours.
I pressed back in, leaning down onto her back so I could speak directly in her ear.
“You’re mine, you understand?”
She didn’t acknowledge me, so I wrapped a hand around her throat, pulling her up so her back was nearly flat against mine.
“Understand?”
She nodded frantically, and I let go. “God, Noah, it’s so fucking good.”
Her head was hanging between her shoulders, body nearly limp.
“Yeah? How good?” I let a hand fall hard on her ass, causing a loud slapping sound.
She screamed in surprise. “Fuck! So fucking good!”
Another slap.
“You miss me, baby?”
“Yes.”
Slap.
“Yes! Yes I missed you!”
“What did you miss, Princess?”
“This.”
Slap.
“Your cock.” Slap. “Fuck, Noah! I’m fucking close.”
“Oh? Going to come again?” Slap. “You fucking love being punished, don’t you?”
No response.
Slap.
“Yes, Noah! Fucking love it.”
“Good, good girl, Leena.”
Do I dare? We never got a chance to. But she was so fucking hot, so fucking relaxed. She only ever let me spank her and talk to her this way when she was at her most comfortable.
Deciding to try, I let my hand fall on her cheek one more time, but then let my fingers massage into the hot, red skin. With each swipe of my hand, I got closer to her hole, eventually letting my thumb swipe over it gently.
Her head snapped up in shock, her head looking back at me.
“Think you want to be a really good girl tonight, Princess?”
I slowed my thrusts, letting her think on this. My finger was pressed firmly to her now, massaging with light pressure.
“I haven’t, ever…”
Her voice was nervous, so I pulled my hand back, running it gently over her back.
“Hey,” She glanced back at me. “we definitely don’t have to. If it’s too much, just tell me.”
She bit her lip, and her hips pressed back into me, lifting her backside to where my hand was.
Oh, today is the best day ever.
Gently, and so carefully, after making sure my fingers were fully saturated with spit, I ran a hand over her ass, slipping my index finger inside, past an impossibly tight ring of muscle, and she gasped.
Not daring to move, I just let her adjust to the intrusion, and waited until I felt her begin to move again.
This went on for so long. Just adding slow and steady pressure, eventually slipping another finger in, while simultaneously thrusting into her.
“Oh God.” She moaned.
I stopped still. “Okay? Do I need to stop?”
She just shook her head. “It’s good.” Her eyes were squeezed shut, teeth grit together. “Real fucking good.”
I smiled, and pulled my fingers out of her. She whined, but I bent down again, my lips brushing at the crest of her ear. “Think I can try?”
She didn’t look at me or speak, only nodded in response.
Leaning back, I pulled out and nudged her gently. Like I had dreamt it, she pressed back into me, while I applied pressure, letting the head slip in, stars nearly exploding behind my eyes.
A hiss came out of her throat, so I stayed still, waiting. After a moment, she took a hard breath and nodded. “Go ahead.”
I pressed in further, trying to wrap my head around how fucking tight she was. Where her pussy was warm, soft, tight, and welcoming, this was…different. It was raw, rigid, animalistic, and fucking beautiful. Something inside of me nearly died when I felt the friction when I started to thrust.
The sounds coming from her were absolutely unbelievable. Nothing like it could ever compare.
“Fuck, Noah, oh my God.”
I picked up the pace, an instinct telling me we couldn’t stay like this too long. I was so fucking close.
“Touch yourself, Mileena.”
She didn’t even question, her hand reaching down to circle her clit, her body relaxing as she did.
It wasn’t but a fraction of a minute before I was nearly screaming, begging her to come. My release came as a free fall - no air, no gravity, just white hot fucking fire raging.
Her body began to spasm around me, pulling every last ounce of my orgasm out, before we both collapsed.
I pulled out of her gently, her body jerking at the sensation.
I laid next to her on the couch, staring into her eyes. Looking for any sign of discomfort or uneasiness.
All I saw was her love, her adoration. Every last fiber of her being pulsating.
I leaned over to her, my lips breathing her in before I lazily kissed her. She molded into me, tangling us together in a web of heat and sweat.
When we finally let ourselves breathe again, she nuzzled her nose against my neck.
“That was incredible.” Her voice was soft.
“There aren’t words.”
She chuckled. “So what does this mean?”
Shrugging, I tucked her in close to me. “I don’t even care anymore.”
“No?”
“Nah. It doesn’t need to be that deep.”
She stood up, then, and I stared at her, fearful I had said the wrong thing.
Seeing my concern, she smiled. “I’ve got to clean up.”
Smirking, I sat up. “Shower?”

Tumblr media
short and sweet! doing laundry with rooster in your new home is silly and lovely | fluff, 0.9k
"Are you going to help, or what?"
You blink and realize that Bradley is staring down at you, holding out a sweatshirt for you to take. This is new for both of you -- it's the first time you're doing laundry in your new place, your first real home together.
"I am helping," you say, snatching the piece of clothing from him and folding it. You add it to the correct pile on the floor around you. His shirts, your shirts, his shirts that you also wear, his pants, your pants, socks, etc. It's so domestic your teeth ache.
He smirks. "I think you were staring at my ass when I bent over. Again." You fight a grin because obviously he's right. From this angle he looks impossibly tall and broad, handsome even in his rattiest sweats and a tattered t-shirt, hair a mess from a day of chores. He's beautiful and bright and yours.
"So what if I was?" you say, leaning back on your hands. His smirk turns to a toothy grin and he puts his hands on his hips and twists.
"Well, sweetheart," he says, "I don't blame you. It's a nice ass."
You laugh. "Don't get cocky, Lieutenant." Bradley groans.
"We talked about this," he says. "You gotta stop calling me that." The tips of his ears are slowly turning red.
"Remind me why?" you tease, batting your eyelashes at him. He groans again.
"Because," he drags out, taking a step towards you. "It's too...hot coming from you." He drops to his knees and you gasp quietly, which brings back his stupidly handsome smirk. "And it makes me want to do this."
With a speed you imagine comes with flying million dollar jets as his day job, Bradley is in your lap, knees bracketing your hips. You lean back instinctively, hands clutching his unfairly large biceps. One of his palms cups the back of your head and the other your jaw. He's heavy, sure, but you can tell he's keeping most of his weight off of you.
"Oh," you say, a bit stupidly. Even still, after knowing and loving him as long as you have, you're flustered."Point taken."
"Hold on," Bradley says, voice a little rougher than before. His face is so close you can see his pupils dilate. "Not done yet." He drags his lips across the soft skin of your cheek. Your fingers dig into the material of his t-shirt. Your heart hammers in your chest.
"Tease," you mutter. He hears you and chuckles lightly before bringing his lips to yours. Despite his teasing, the kiss is soft, gentle. His lips are a little dry and he licks lazily into your mouth just once before pulling away. He swipes his thumb over your lower lip and then flops off of your lap onto the floor next to you.
"Watch the piles!" you tell him, not really meaning it. He manages to swing a leg over yours and pull you into his side in one motion. Your head pillows on his shoulder and you rest your hand on his chest and synch your breaths.
"Can you believe it?" Bradley says softly. You hum, not sure what he means. In so many parts of his life, Bradley is a leader. He's confident, steadfast, prepared. He knows what he needs to do and he does it. People look to him for instruction but also for a joke, a kind word, a smile. He's magnetic in every room he's in. You adore all of these things about him, of course, but you also love the moments like this. When he's feeling softer, when he's with you, when he lets himself be more open. You love seeing this side of him and it feels like magic that you're the one who brings it out of him. "That this is our house. Our house."
You shift a little so that you can see his face. He's looking at the ceiling, eyes wide. There are still boxes in pretty much every room and you don't have a real coffee table yet. You keep rearranging the furniture in the bedroom and yesterday Bradley confessed that he still needs the GPS to get home from work. It's the beginning of something wonderful, something you never thought you'd have: a life with someone who loves you.
"Yeah, baby," you tell him, heart swelling. "It sure is." His mouth curls into a sheepish smile and he meets your gaze.
"Are you happy?" he asks. "Cause, I gotta tell you, I'm really fucking happy." You trace his chin with your thumb, unable to fight your own grin.
"I'm really fucking happy, too," you whisper. It's the truth. Sprawled out on the floor of your messy home, surrounded by laundry, encased in the arms of your beloved? There is nowhere happier.
Bradley kisses your forehead. "Good," he says, squeezing you just a little. "That's all I want."
"I love you," you tell him. Before he can reply, you keep talking. "But we really need to finish the laundry, Rooster," you say, patting his chest gently. "Unless you want to sleep on a bare mattress tonight."
He sighs, a great big breath that makes you rise and fall. "Yeah, yeah," he groans. "Just a few more minutes." You feel his lips on your hairline, his own admission of love a whisper into your skin, his heartbeat steady beneath your palm and honestly, a few more minutes doesn't sound too bad at all.
thank you for reading <3 reblog, send feedback, masterlist here!

Chopra Household: Chapter 6, Part 10
I almost lost my mind but I took some time off to build so I didn't!
Tumblr media
If Viola is attempting to say something it will be in brackets, otherwise you can assume it's just trying out sounds Mercedes has a speech delay and may get words wrong, correct wording will be in brackets if that is the case Savannah aka Honeybee Mercedes aka Little Ladybug Viola aka Green Bean
With everyone going through a tough time (especially the watcher) nana Lavina is having a stay over to help out.
Rahul: Thanks for coming mum
Lavina: Of course dear, I’m happy to
Cassandra: Okay Viola, nana is here. Do you think we can show her a crawl huh? Crawl to mama
The pair practice and after a while we get milestone lights!
Lavina: Oh how wonderful! Although she does look glum
Viola is up and crawling but is very pouty about it.
Rahul: Shucks, she probably needs more antibiotics
Lavina: Don’t worry, I’ll grab them for you
Tumblr media
Lavina: My goodness what did I nearly trip on
Rahul: It’s a robot vacuum
Cassandra: We can set it to auto clean and it should take care of any dust bunnies
Lavina stomps off to the medicine cabinet grumbling about technology these days. After Viola has her medicine and is fed Cassandra gets her to bed. Both of them need sleep, here’s hoping they can get some.
Tumblr media
Cluckton: *crows* hear ye, hear ye! We’ve survived a bad mod storm that involved sims being sick and unable to go to the doctor! Let us all thank the watcher for getting help and giving up on that module without deleting us. We came so close to DOOM!
Mercedes: Is Cluckton still crowing
Savannah: Maybe. He probably just wants to make sure we can hear him all the way over here
Tumblr media
Cassandra: Good morning green bean! Isn’t it so much better without those nasty bugs? You look better
Viola: se na ma do (so do you mama)
Cassandra: I just finished pumping so this bottle is nice and fresh for my little guzzler
Viola tucks into the bottle with gusto, promptly finishing it. Cassandra takes her over to the changing table for a fresh nappy when Mercedes comes and sits on the rocking chair.
Mercedes: Morning mama. Did papa tell you they say I’m gifted
Cassandra: he did! But gifted or not you are my daughter and I love you for more than your brain, okay
Mercedes: Okay mama. Can you come to word class with me today? Papa can go with Savannah instead
Cassandra: If you'd like me there I’d love to
Tumblr media
Savannah: And a drop here, and a drop there, and-
Rahul: SAVANNAH
Savannah: Huh what?
Rahul: Why did you dump this paint on the floor
Savannah: It wasn’t me!
Rahul: I SAW you Savannah, don’t start lying. No tv for a day and you will clean this up, right now!
Savannah: But… how will I get my fun need up without tv
Rahul: You should have thought of that before you made a mess. Now your mama and I are swapping after school duties and I expect you on your best behaviour for OT
Savannah: *sighs* yes papa
Tumblr media
Cassandra streams her guitar practice this morning. Nursing has affected how much time she’s been able to spend increasing her skills and fame. While she strums the yard animals again inspect Viola. Seven in particular finds the infant suspicious. After playing with her rattle Viola sets off crawling around, the feel of grass under her fingers is a lot of fun.
Tumblr media
Even though the yard is sheltered, with the rain Cassandra doesn’t like Viola spending too much time outside in case she gets windchill. Back inside it’s time for more standing practice. After a series of tries together Viola gurgles she wants to try by herself so Cassandra steps back and Viola looks up at the couch. She stretches her arms and up she goes! Cassandra is so excited she takes a small video to show Rahul in case Viola doesn’t feel like showing off later.
Tumblr media
Lavina: Look at her go! She’s a star
Cassandra: Could you get her down for a nap? I have to go tell Rahul
Lavina: Oh course dear
Cassandra: Then she just pulled herself up
Rahul: That’s wonderful
Cassandra: It has got me thinking… she’s growing up…
Rahul: And the nursery will be empty… can’t have that…
Cassandra: shall we go try then?
Rahul: Don’t have to ask me twice
So the two head to their room and spend time… flipping pillows until their daughters are ready for after school activities.
Tumblr media
Word class and OT went well, Cassandra does have to rush off to work pretty soon afterwards though. The girls head inside to do their homework while Rahul cooks.
Lavina: What is word class when it’s at home
Mercedes: Stuff. Helping stuff
Lavina: And this is meant to make you better at talking is it? Doesn’t seem to be making much difference so far
Rahul: Mum! Be nice, let's not teach them to be rude
Lavina: I want my granddaughters to succeed, is that rude? Now Savannah, are you sure that’s the right way to hold your pencil?
Savannah: *sighs dramatically*
Rahul: Mum! Don’t fuss. They’ve both done well today
Savannah: If I’ve done well... can I watch TV?
Tumblr media
Rahul: No. I said no TV for a day and I meant it
Mercedes: But Savannah did good
Rahul: Yes but she still did bad this morning
Mercedes: She cleaned it
Rahul: After being caught and trying to lie about it
Lavina: And she should consider herself lucky. Any time your papa made a mess it was no TV for a week. He learned not to and so will your sister
Savannah: *fumes in silence*
Rahul: I’m sorry if you are upset Honeybee but your punishment was for earlier. Consequences are tied to our actions. When you’re grown you’ll understand
Tumblr media
Mercedes: I thought we were grown
Rahul: Not yet little ladybug. Think of it this way Savannah… If I sheared some wool off Seven and cut her by accident, I could bottle feed her all I like but it wouldn’t change that I cut her. There’s only 12 hours left and you’ll be asleep for most of it
Savannah: Oh... I forgot about sleep
Mercedes: I guess I can’t watch TV either
Lavina: Why not?
Mercedes: Sol.. solid… together. We stick together (solidarity)

Link Click – Everything We Know about Agents and their Abilities as of Season 1
Our WiFi is still down, and I used up most of my data to download all episodes of season 1 so I can rewatch it (and because I hate streaming shitty mp4s online). Since I can't start on Season 2 right away, I might as well just consolidate all the info we have from Season 1.
Now, before I start, let me just define the word "agent" that I used in the post title. Link Click's title in Chinese is 时光代理人 (shiguang dailiren), which literally translates to "Time Agents." As such, I'll refer to those with special abilities as an agent. Whether or not all agents have abilities related to time is something we don't know yet for sure.
I rewatched in the original Chinese audio with two different English fansubs (I won't refer to the official subs because those were terrible). Text in square brackets are my inferences. You may not take those as facts.
If you find any of the info here to be inaccurate, just send me an ask or tell me in the notes!
Episode 1
Lu Guang’s Rules
1. They have only twelve hours in the photo.
2. Cheng Xiaoshi must follow Lu Guang's instructions and not mess with anything.
3. They have to disregard the past and the future.
---
1. Cheng Xiaoshi is the one who enters photos, and Lu Guang is the one who leads the way.
2. Cheng Xiaoshi's eyes turn yellow when using his powers, while Lu Guang's turn blue.
3. The person Cheng Xiaoshi becomes will also inherit his yellow eyes.
4. Cheng Xiaoshi's body in the present time disappears while he is in the photo.
5. Only Lu Guang knows what will happen next in the events of the photo. Cheng Xiaoshi has to rely on his instructions.
6. Lu Guang was able to tell Cheng Xiaoshi what exactly to write in Emma's report, [indicating that what he sees in the past is very detailed].
7. Cheng Xiaoshi inherits [to some extent] the feelings and memories of the person he becomes.
8. While Lu Guang is asleep, he loses his connection with Cheng Xiaoshi.
9. Lu Guang can record [and very quickly at that] what Cheng Xiaoshi sees in the past. This is evident in him being able to immediately obtain and put into his phone the information Cheng Xiaoshi scanned on Mr. Zhu's laptop.
Episode 2
When Cheng Xiaoshi enters a photo, he becomes the person who took the photo.
Episode 3
1. Cheng Xiaoshi does not inherit the physical limits of the person he becomes. This is evident in how, even though Chen Xiao is nearsighted, Cheng Xiaoshi's vision remains the same.
2. Once the past is disrupted, Lu Guang can no longer see, to some extent, what happens next.
Episode 4
1. Cheng Xiaoshi can leave the photo by clapping his hands.
2. Cheng Xiaoshi has no control over the original host's body's instinctive reactions. (Like Chen Xiao's heart beating fast when he meets his first love)
Episode 5
No new info in this ep
Episode 5.5
They cannot enter a photo that has already been used.
Episode 6
1. When Lu Guang uses his abilities on a surveillance video, then within twelve hours, he can have a panoramic view on all surveillance images within one kilometer. However, blind spots in the video also become his blind spots.
2. When Cheng Xiaoshi enters a surveillance video, he doesn't have to become someone else. He can enter as himself.
3. Even if it's a surveillance video, they still only have twelve hours to work with it.
Episode 7
1. [When entering multiple photos/videos, especially those of which times overlap, then the photo/video Cheng Xiaoshi enters later will be changed based on any history changes in the photo/video that comes before.]
2. Multiple Cheng Xiaoshi's can exist in the same timeline.
3. While Cheng Xiaoshi is unconscious in the photo, Lu Guang loses his connection with him.
4. Even if he becomes a child in the photo, Cheng Xiaoshi still has the strength of an adult.
Episode 8
Even when Cheng Xiaoshi cannot clearly hear what is being said to him inside the photo, Lu Guang can still record it. (Lu Guang was able to record what Dong Yi said to Xu Shanshan even though Cheng Xiaoshi wasn't paying attention.)
Episode 9
1. Cheng Xiaoshi can enter a photo on his own by clapping his hands.
2. To be able to communicate with Lu Guang while in the photo, Cheng Xiaoshi has to clap hands with him upon entering.
3. Cheng Xiaoshi enters photos as the executor, and Lu Guang is the observer.
4. While Cheng Xiaoshi was screaming in the trunk of Liu Min's car, which was right before he exited the photo, light was emitted. I don't know if this was just an artistic effect, or if there was actual light in the scene at that time.
Episode 10
No new info in this ep
Episode 11
1. [Although it wasn't shown where Cheng Xiaoshi was when he entered Xu Shanshan's photo, we can assume that it was still in the living room like usual because we see Lu Guang sitting there like always. If Xiaoshi had been anywhere else, Lu Guang should've brought up some questions. Thus, we can further assume that Cheng Xiaoshi can exit from a photo and end up in a place different from where he entered. He entered Xu Shanshan's photo from the living room, yet he exited into the dark room to meet the murderer.]
2. [During his fight with the murderer, Cheng Xiaoshi would disappear into a photo after landing a hit on him. We then get a brief glimpse of what happens in the photo. It is unknown if the murderer can also see what Cheng Xiaoshi sees while in the photo. However, after disappearing, Cheng Xiaoshi can still communicate with him. I'd like to assume, then, that after hitting the murderer, followed by a clap to enter the photo, Cheng Xiaoshi forms a connection with the murderer like what he does with Lu Guang. The murderer can then see what Cheng Xiaoshi sees and hear what he says even after the latter enters a photo.] Edit: this has been disproven in season 2
3. In all of the other victims’ photos, Cheng Xiaoshi had become the one who personally took the photo (we can tell by who has yellow eyes). However, in Emma’s family photo, which was taken via setting a timer on the camera and leaving it on the stand, Cheng Xiaoshi did not become Emma and had instead entered as himself. We can see him standing at the side while Emma and her family are together. This is in contrast to all the rules set before. Not personally holding the camera should not be a factor because Episode 2 had shown that it doesn’t count.
4. The murderer has red eyes and can walk just fine. They say they weren't the one who wanted to kill those people, and then they calls themselves an agent. (I will now use they/them pronouns to refer to the red-eyed agent because we don't know their actual gender yet.)
5. Liu Min, without the red-eyed agent, has black eyes and lame legs.
6. Liu Min has no memory of what the red-eyed agent does while they're in control of his body.
7. The red-eyed agent can kill the person they're possessing and it won't kill them.
8. The red-eyed agent does not have to be right next to a person in order to possess them.
9. [The red-eyed agent can possess multiple people at the same time. We see "Qiao Ling" attacking Lu Guang and "Liu Min" killing himself happen one after another. It is unknown whether or not these two events actually happened concurrently and were not just shown to us in that order as a creative effect.]
10. Cheng Xiaoshi was kicked out of the video after Emma fell to her death. We can tell by how he suddenly appears again in the living room with his hands still outstretched in reaching for Emma (which means he didn't clap himself out of the video). I don't know why this happened. Cheng Xiaoshi entered a surveillance video, not a photo that Emma took. The video shouldn't be tied to Emma's life.
---
And that's all! If I missed anything, just say it in the notes. Just please don't spoil me of any new info from season 2 🙏
Edit: a season 2 version of this post is up!

Funny one shot idea
After the event of ennies long/water 7
Luffy and the rest of the crew were more clingy with Robin and usopp
This is one of the most sickening fluff bits I've ever written
The walls were higher on the Thousand Sunny, and the mens' quarters were wide and tidy in a way only new things were, and Usopp couldn't tell which bunk was his anymore. He still had the tacky star blanket he bought in Alabasta because he didn't know somewhere so hot could get so cold at night, and it was stained with charcoal and ripped near the bottom but it fit perfectly in Merry because she was made of inexperienced craftsmanship and shoddy repairs. He felt like he was bringing something ugly in, putting his worn old blanket over the clean white sheets. He felt like he was visiting, like he shouldn't track mud in or mess up anything enough to be comfortable.
Then the door slammed open hard enough the sniper jumped. "Usopp!" Luffy hollered as if Usopp weren't a meter away. "You dissapeared!"
Usopp had been gone for less than two minutes. "Well I had to check the bunks for dream eels, someone had to."
Luffy looked over at the bunk in wonder. "Can you eat them?"
"You can but they dig a hole into your skull and eat your brains so maybe don't." Usopp spread his blanket over one of the bunks decisively.
Luffy chuckled. "Maybe not. But come on! I'll ask Sanji to cook the eels later!" He said, snagging Usopp's wrist in his rubbery grasp and dragging him away before he could fret about his blanket again. Usopp didn't even bother protesting.
Half the crew was out on the grass-covered deck, Robin bracketed on one side by Nami and the other by Franky, Chopper in her lap. She looked tired, but happy all the same. It was good, she seemed more comfortable than she did on the Merry. Maybe the tall walls suited her better.
Luffy offered a very exaggerated wave to the group on deck as he pulled Usopp along. "I'm back! Usopp told me there were worms in my bed that ate brains."
"Oh, the poor things are starving then." Nami teased before the group chucked a little.
Luffy laughed along. "Yeah!" He paused. "Hey."
Robin, the only one who didn't laugh, but was still smiling ear to ear, spoke up. "Did you let Zoro and Sanji in on our little plan yet, Captain?"
"Ah - I got distracted when Usopp dissapeared. C'mon Usopp!" The sniper was then dragged away, left to question what the 'plan' was.
Usopp didn't have time to revel in the new, huge kitchen when Luffy burst in. "Sanji! Food!" Luffy said automatically.
Sanji shot the captain a look, but then his features softened when he saw Usopp. "Fine, fine. What do you want?"
Luffy hummed. "The bugs Usopp found in the bunks!" He declared, and that was almost nothing like Usopp's original lie, but the confidence almost convinced the king of liars himself.
Sanji didn't appear to react safe for his face going ghost pale. "Bugs. In the bunks."
"YUP! Nami said they were hungry!"
Sanji turned back to the stove. "I see. I'll take watch tonight." He said, an unmistakable tremble in his voice.
Usopp didn't laugh but it was a very near thing. "Don't you worry, your trusted sniper Usopp blew all those bugs away!" He said. "You should have seen them, eight feet tall, human hands, wearing clothes even! They told me they were the devil's ocean woodmites, they threatened to bite the ship in two before I hit them with a fire star and blew them to smitherines!" He watched Sanji relax the more fantastical his story got, until he was humming along with the details as if it were a completely logical thing.
Luffy was enraptured, he always was, it made Usopp feel some type of way.
"Anyway!" Luffy yelled, and Zoro snorted from where he was probably sleeping - this room was too big, he didn't even know Zoro was napping in here. "We're camping on the deck to crispen the Sunny! And because Nami won't let me sleepover in the girls' room with Usopp."
Sanji squinted at Usopp as if this wasn't the first he was hearing of it too. "Christen. And tell Nami swan she's a queen for setting boundaries and coming up with such an amazing idea." He said shortly. "I'll be out with dinner in half an hour. Take the mosshead with you, he's poisoning my nice new kitchen with his man stink."
Luffy mock-saluted, marching over to the table and dragging their star swordsman out from under it. Zoro didn't wake up because of this, so Luffy just dragged him back to the door. A few distinct thunks of a head hitting a doorway and they were back on the deck. The sky was getting darker.
"You think Franky brought firewood?" Usopp asked.
Luffy hummed. "Dunno."
They made it back to the group on the deck and Luffy dragged Zoro over before sitting down, dragging Usopp down with him until he and Zoro were almost bracketing Usopp the same way Robin was being bracketed, all in a tiny circle. It was nice - Usopp might not belong in the big rooms or on the clean sheets, but he belonged here, or at least he wanted to belong here. He would work hard to keep belonging here.
Nami started talking, idle chatter she always shared with Usopp, but now there was an undercurrent of relief from her. It made guilt curdle in Usopp's throat, but he swallowed it.
Soon enough Sanji came in with a feast he could barely balance, and Robin gave him several hands, and they shared a picnic while the sky went from blue to orange.
After that, they all went back to their quarters to grab every spare blanket and pillow to make the world's biggest fort before Franky got the gas fire pit working - which inspired the fort to be dismantled so everyone could set up bedding close to the fire before it got too dark.
Robin fell asleep first, so Chopper and Nami fell asleep next to her. Luffy bullied Usopp into sharing his tacky star blanket, and Usopp fell asleep listening to the ocean and various snores.

Inktober, Tiffany Aching, Barbie, and a General Life Update
The Plan: Read the Tiffany Aching books during the summer, re-make her, and use her as the main character for my next Inktober.
The Reality: while I was finishing Cupid Cafe my landlord decided to sell the apartment I've been renting for over a decade. It was an extremely shitty one (no heating, broken air-conditioning units, dark, moldy, etc), but it was dirty cheap, and the best I could afford.
It was sold in mid-June, and the new owner (surprising no one) wanted to raise the rent. I don't know how the rental market is wherever you live, but here (in Athens, Greece) it's a right nightmare (Airbnb has a lot to answer for...). I couldn't find anything in the same price bracket that wasn't basically a tiny basement-turned-into-a-studio. I was panicking. Heavily.
In the end a (really good) friend came to my rescue. She convinced her mom (who had moved to her vacation home during the pandemic) to rent me the city apartment she was rarely using anymore. With the same money I was paying for the previous one. A fucking life saver let me tell you.
It's a much bigger, and generally much nicer, one than the previous shithole I was living in. I finally have enough space for an actual studio. It's also in a much nicer neighbourhood. One I normally would not be able to afford. Lots of green spaces, and very pet friendly (I don't have a pet at the moment, but I'm greatly enjoying meeting all the happy puppers on their walks, whenever I'm out and about).
I moved in in mid-July. I'm still working on it, as I've been going through a lot of the things I had in storage, deciding what to keep, donate, or throw away, and that takes time. The studio is still a mess, but here is a sneak peek of my current working space (the walls were supposed to be lilac, but I'm not complaining - Peppa-the-pig pink it is):
Tumblr media
Anyway, back to Inktober. As you can imagine I had hardly the time to read anything during the summer, so the Tiffany Aching idea will have to wait. I also felt extremely uninspired by this year's Inktober prompts. I dug around a bit and found a prompt list I actually like. It's the Mystical Witchtober one, hosted by agingerly aianaiya isabee Madie Meri Marigona Suli Aria and Talita on Instagram. Here's the prompt list (by isabee):
Tumblr media
As I was going through the things I've had in storage I found some of my childhood Barbie magazines and sticker albums. So I'm thinking of riding the nostalgia wave, and turning my Witchtober into a slightly Barbie-esque, and a bit late 1980's/early 1990's themed, witch-vampire romance.
Tumblr media
I will be working on it at a rather leisurely pace, since I'm still busy working on my new space, and also recovering from a recurring freak throat infection I've had since mid-August (was it strep? was it mono? Who knows? Not my doctors). I've been through two rounds of antibiotics and I'm still not completely well, so please be patient with me.
I think that's all for now. Stick around for a very soft and pink Witchtober. And worry not, I have a lot of Wyrd Sisters things planned once this one is over.
P.S.
Oh yeah, I've also somehow managed in the middle of all the chaos to acquire a new boyfriend. Which hasn't happened in a while. So that's nice.
P.P.S. (bonus for still reading this essay of an update)
I made last year's Wyrd Sisters Abroad Inktober into a zine for the Comicdom Con in May. In true ADHD fashion it was written at five a.m. the morning it had to be at the printer's, after the third all nighter in a row. So typos were inevitable. But the fact that this was the only typo that made it through to the printed version, had me giggling uncontrollably once I discovered it (a couple of months later, it took me a while). Enjoy:

YEAH!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!!! TELL ME ABOUT YOUR SKILLS!!! :D!!!!!
HEELL YYEE!!! Let me just spill my guts out !!
Tumblr media
This may be a little long :]
(You may know this but is good to recap)
Ok, small story time! Basically I drew them becourse I read spilledkaleidoscopes works and in the second part Kim gets his own skills and there are only 8 and I was like "Fuck, If I were to make my own skill I am not forced to the albatrairie number 24 and also not forced to include all of physique and motorics gangs and i could just mix and match and nobody would care." so that's basically what I did
i took me 20 hours to figure their designs out (I am not kidding btw, i looked through the ibispaint recording) and 10 more to render them out to a point that i would say it's acceptable (i would have stayed longer if i wasn't physically and mentally tired of this little project and i also told myself that they will never be perfect and that OK)
Tumblr media
more drawings for your pleasure (some not posted yet)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ok now let's actually talk about the 8 dummies: (i will compare them to Harry's skills and other stuff for better understanding)(also I will includes an edgy description) [anything in square brackets are just my notes over the skill]
DOUBT - LOGIC + anxiety + masking - Logic tainted by how many times you got burned. You now know what to hide; all your cracks and imperfections. Your mask won't peel from your face, you forgot to take it off at some point and now you don't ever remember what you look like. Good luck with that, people would hate you more without it and you know it; I bore that though your head everyday.
[The little Jean in all of us. A strung up anxious mess that can't understand that people actually like you and that perfection is impossible. A lil hater.]
MECHANICAL HEART - EMPATHY + video game/movie logic - Understansing through empathy and pattern recognition. Don't understand someone? That's OK, use your vast knowledge of media to put them into little boxes and label them. People are more complicated than that but I am just a tool. I tune in on everyone and everythings frequency and if you don't understand something you look through the file drawer of your mind.
[My internet riddled brain can only understand tropes. I have so much brainrot that it can not be contained, it spreds to everything]
SENSOR - ENDURANCE + PERCEPTION + INTERFACING + autism - Caretaker of the temple. For other people it's automatic. Sadly, yours isn't. You forget to eat if nobody reminds you. So that's why I'm here. Your nerves are also more sensitive than most. It doesn't help that the world has so many textures and hard edges. I relay all the info as soon as I get it, though it's late most of the time.
KNOW-HOW - ADHD info dump (basically ENCYCLOPEDIE) - Keeper of the librarys. You know, your mind is like a library, but without any of the labeling a normal library would use. More of a big collection of storys and fun-facts you know. When you don't ask them for a piece of information in particular, they chime in with something that is vaguely connected to the conversation.
WILLPOWER - VOLITION + a crumb of SHIVERS - Makeing peace with it all. I am silent most of the time but not, because I don't care. I talk only to remind you of the world's humanity. When you are at ypur lowest. You need to go on. You can take a break, maybe cry a little, but never actually give up. The world doesn't end with you, and it's worse without you in it.
[they don't talk a lot cuz I am a depressed lil bitch]
DAY DREAM - INLAND EMPIRE + VISUALIZATION + CONCEPTUALIZATION - Close your eyes and see other worlds. Colors, characters, ideas, scenarios; all swirling in that little head of yours. They just make the puppets move for your own amusement. They unfortunately play with your puppet too, making you watch scenarios wherein you die a lot, but what can you do? You can't stop it. It has it upsides through, mainly escapism.
CHASE - ELECTRO-CHEMISTRY + ADHD hyperactivity + autistic hyperfixation - Longing for paradise and ambrosia. Comfort over anything else. They love to indulge and party. Not actually party. You know, more like watching youtube alone or with friends while eating chips at 2 AM. That is your type of party. Your batteries run low most of time, so a good game and a snack also work.
[ELECTRO-CHEMISTRY but a bit chiller, no drug related stuff, if sugar doesn't count. They just love good brain juice]
FLARE - HALF LIGHT + PAIN THRESHOLD - The fire that burns within us all. A caged animal that hisses at anything that comes near. In general it sits in corner, waiting, only popping it's head out to shriek profanities at whatever rattled the cage. All bark, no bite. A problem that you have is that you forget how people wronged you, but I'm here, I remember. Only emotions, but that is enough. You shouldn't give out so many second chances.
[stressed out little creature]
They also hate each other so fucking much AAAAAA I have a headache
I also wrote a small story with all of them in another post... I want to write some more small storys of mine if i could think of anything funny that happend and that would work in the Disco Elysium dialog style
you can also make your own skills if you want, i may be annoying but I believe in you <3 don't know what else I could add

Romance Tropes Bracket, Sweet Sixteen
Tumblr media
In this round, we have:
Blue: Bodyguard vs. Workplace, and Second Chances vs. Nanny/Governess
Yellow: Mistaken Identity vs. Only One Bed, and Kissing Lessons vs. Forced Proximity
Red: Grumpy/Sunshine vs. Just To Get It Out Of Our System, and Holiday Romance vs. Soulmates
Green: Marriage of Convenience vs. Friends to Lovers, and Sworn Off Love vs. Supernatural
Find out tomorrow who's getting ahead! Tell me who your favorites are!
Under the Readmore I'll tell you why all of these won out against their opponents, and I'll link a few fics in which I've used these tropes!
Blue
Bodyguard was up against Love Triangle - and that was an easy choice. I don't GET love triangles; my first impulse will always be "porque no los dos? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯" and most stories don't deliver that. It just doesn't grip me if someone feels themself drawn to two and "has to make a decision". (Am I poly? Probably. Am I happily married? Definitely. Anything else is between me and my wife. :D) (Have I been thinking for some time about a Bering and Wells Bodyguard fic? Most certainly.)
Workplace was up against High School: not quite that easy, especially since I wrote a High School fic myself! In the end it won out because (a) a lot more of my stories qualify as workplace stories and (b) there is just a lot more variation that's possible with a workplace story vs. a high school story. People can have so many different jobs, after all, which can inform the story!
Second Chances defeated Made A Promise (90s style) very easily - first of all, promises don't really hold my interest, especially when they are treated as set in stone for all eternity no matter how much the circumstances and/or persons involved might have changed. Second, and much more importantly: second chances are The Best. Let's face it, we all mess up, and sometimes incredibly badly. And you can do so much with that, narratively! It can move the plot, it can show the characters' character, it makes them change and grow, it is a fantastic source of conflict AND resolution! Top Tier, honestly (and a lot of my stories are that; most obviously the Strata/Commutata duology)
Nanny/Governess beat out Sibling's Best Friend only narrowly, because "employer/employee who's charged to care for employer's kids" is dynamic I just like ever so slightly better than "someone who's been hanging around our house since forever and teased me when I was a kid and ganged up on me with my sibling and now I ~like~ them". Just, nah. Both of them are pretty low on the list, though.
Yellow
Mistaken Identity *easily* vanquished Age Gap; I've never really been a fan of the latter. I like my protagonists to be in a similar place in their lives (which is also, by the way, why "Person A's first queer relationship, but Person B has been out for decades" doesn't grip me at all; at least not if the story focuses *entirely* on Person B helping Person A navigate this situation). I'd *MUCH* rather read Mistaken Identity Shenanigans!
There could only ever be one winner in the Only One Bed vs. Love Potion/Aphrodisiac fight: the latter is fun for a smut fic, but we're talking romance here, and I'd rather that does not start with overruling someone's agency. Although I have to confess I did write that 😅 (47K words of it, even! With not even all that much smut in it!) But nothing beats "there's only one bed" as a trope to get two characters physically, intimately close to each other!
Kissing Lessons won over Amnesia, even though I wrote a Tumblr fragment about the latter! But the thing is: that is fan fic about two characters we already know, so it hits hard; amnesia as a trope usually means that Person A starts out amnesiac or is only introduced with very broad strokes, and that just doesn't grip me. Whereas Kissing Lessons is something that I have done myself, so... *grins*
Forced Proximity also easily defeated Secretly A Celeb/Royal - one of my absolute faves, and thoroughly explored in my Road Trip Series linked above (Strata/Commutata). In all seriousness, though: Only One Bed is Forced Proximity too, just one specific instance of it, so that's a bit unfair - especially since the Green sector has yet another one (Snowed In)! But yeah, faced with this, what's a celeb or, sheesh, a *royal* (insert dripping snark here)...
This is getting so long that I'm gonna put the other two sectors in a reblog 😅
