Comment Bingo Trial Run
Very simple rules: connect 5 squares in a line by completing the task in each square
Very simple goals: encourage readers to comment on fics; encourage fandom writers to KEEP WRITING
Tumblr media
STEPS:
Download Bingo Card HERE (png) or HERE (jpg) or HERE (pdf)
Complete the tasks on the card, marking off each as you go, until you've completed 5 in a line (vertical, horizontal, or diagonal; NO double-dipping; kudos ♥️ is a free space)
REBLOG/POST your winning card (or list your filled squares) and tag @feedthefandomfest! Glory in your victory.
PROPOSED REWARD:
Bingo Badge!
@ihni and I thought it'd be fun to receive something commemorating a win (who gets bingo first isn't the point—ALL BINGOS are wins), in which case, there could be different tiers of achievement:
Bingo Badge (one line filled)
Double Bingo Badge (two lines filled)
ELITE Bingo Badge?? (ALL squares filled—for the ambitious, or at least for @ihni who will prob eat this card for breakfast)
I can make a badge with my limited Canva skills, but we thought it'd be cool if fandom artists came up with different designs? So if any artists wanna contribute, let me know.
If enough people are into this, I'm open to planning a more organized event, but figured this would be fun to try out for now.

KISS ME ONCE
a/n: i am so late with even starting this and i don't expect to finish, but i still wanted to contribute something. so this is the first fic for the moon knight bingo hosted by @moonknight-events. some of the prompts really captured my attention and i wanted to write what i could for them. i based this off yes the long long, long time, but some other jazz songs were played as i wrote. and honestly i'm obsessed with how it turned out. the divider is by the ever talented @saradika-graphics.
prompt used: butterflies
summary: dating steven grant came with its challenges. between being a superhero, sharing the body with a man you hardly knew, and his forgetfulness, you felt dizzy. so when your date goes awry, you take matters into your own hands.
word count: 1.7k+
pairing: marc spector x reader
warnings: not explicit, some soft fluff, romance, the blossoming of a relationship, flustered marc.
Tumblr media
Candlelight flooded the darkened flat, flickering a soft orange glow along the walls and stacks of books. It would be romantic if the frustrated bangs of a man trying to fix it wasn’t the only sound that echoed back to you. The evening had started out as a date. An attempt between you and Steven to rejoin together after weeks apart. But life continually managed to get in the way.
Problems arose one after the other. But nevertheless this is where you found yourselves. Sitting at the small table, candles scattered throughout the space, and the soft sound of jazz coming from the record player in the corner. And just as he poured you a glass of red wine—the power went out.
“It’s alright. Really.”
“I’ve almost got it.” A very American voice called back to you.
Steven—the man you adored—had no clue what the fuck to do in a situation such as a this. The radiator should have been easy enough to turn back on, but by the sounds it seemed that there was nothing but difficulty. Which is how Marc—the man you barely spoke to—wound up crashing your date.
It’s not that you didn’t want to speak to him. Get to know him. You just rarely found yourself with the chance. Between him and Steven being whisked away consistently, you barely had time to speak to Steven. Yet there you were, in your best outfit, candlelight illuminating the flat, and wine poured into two separate glasses. And Marc was acting as if you weren’t there.
He was helping. You knew that, but there was nothing that could be done. At least not right now.
“Are you hungry?”
The question must have thrown him off guard; his head peeking out from the bottom of the radiator. His eyes quickly caught sight of you standing there—hope shimmering in your eyes. A look that was usually only reserved for Steven. A look he’d longed to see directed at him one day. But Marc—ever the stubborn man Steven made him out to be—looked away as fast as he started.
“No I’m alright honey.” His eyes flicked back to you briefly before settling on the mirror. A quick sigh, the tensing of his shoulders, and you knew enough.
He wanted this.
You couldn’t deny the endearment didn’t have an effect on you. In fact, it was quite surprising how your entire stomach erupted into a flurry of butterflies. They normally only arose when Steven was near. How he smiled so bright it nearly killed you, how his entire heart was worn like an accessory on his sleeve. He looked at you in awe. As if you were the very light of his life, but Marc faced you with hesitancy. With reluctance and the darkened shine of anguish in his brown eyes.
What he wanted, he could never have.
That’s what he believed. Or at least that’s what you came to understand in the short time you’d known about him. That he gave everything—all he could spare—to Steven. He sacrificed a normal life to the man who already had it; to the person he could never be.
It broke your heart in a way.
Why would he believe he could never have you too? That his life wouldn’t be intertwined with yours. Like it or not you chose Steven, and whether he knew it or not…you also chose Marc. Even if he wouldn’t allow himself to be chosen.
“We ordered dinner. Thankfully. I love Steven, but I don’t trust him in a kitchen.” Smiling, you moved to grab the container you had yet to take the food out of.
Marc flinched at the word love falling so freely from your mouth. He acted as if he’d never heard the word before. And maybe he hadn’t. Maybe someone never looked at him the way Steven looked at you. Although something told you that tonight might in fact change that. You never saw yourself falling for Steven—for anyone really—but Marc was a welcomed surprise.
“I don’t want to take Steven’s food.”
You shrugged. “I’m sure he wouldn’t mind—”
“You don’t know Steven honey.”
There was that fucking word again. A rush of flutters overtook your stomach, your heart racing with the glint of annoyance in his eyes as he stared at the mirror behind you. You could practically see Steven trying to reason with him. Trying to keep Marc from ruining this night. If only the both of them could see in your mind—how you longed to get closer to Marc, to see if you could make him feel the same as you did now.
So you did.
He looked startled, stepping back a bit with his hand outstretched. The sight brought a smile to your lips.
“I want to have dinner with you Marc.”
“You’re on a date with Steven.” He sighed, eyebrows pulling together. Strange how it was so different to Steven’s frustration, so unlike the soft man you knew. “Lemme fix the radiator and you can have him back,” he muttered.
“Marc—”
“Just need a tool. Which is somewhere around here.”
“Wait—”
“And I’ll be—”
With a quick lunge, you grabbed hold of Marc’s (Steven’s) button down, pulling him close enough to feel his breath on your chin. He froze, hands hovering over your waist as you kept him there and fixed him with a look that made his heart thump loudly against his chest. That glimmer—the want—was suddenly on him. And he felt as if the breath would fly out of his lungs if he tried to make a move. He was afraid he’d scare you off.
“Eat with me.” You smiled sweet and honey like he could practically taste it on his tongue. “Don’t make me tie you to the chair just to join me.”
He huffed, his throat bobbing as he swallowed roughly. “You don’t have to do that.”
“Then you’ll stay?”
He nodded. “I’ll stay.”
“The food’s cold.” You sighed, twisting in his hold to catch a glimpse of the darkened street. “And it looks like the whole street is down.”
You never saw how his eyes lingered on your lips, how he drank you in with ease. His own tongue swiping along his bottom lip quickly, chest stuttering as he sucked in a breath. If there’s one thing Marc knew it was this—you were the most beautiful person he’d seen. He wasn’t sure how Steven found you, but suddenly he found himself thanking every god he knew of that he did.
Perhaps that’s why he relinquished control so often. Solely to keep you around. Marc ruined things. He knew this. He understood that whatever he touched came away broken, but Steven…he fixed things. He brought light to the darkness and made sure it burned bright—he saved what Marc destroyed. And Marc couldn’t destroy you.
He’d die before he broke the one thing that made everything good.
“I have an idea,” you said, joy lighting up the room.
“Hm?”
You smiled, digging into your purse for your phone, the small screen lighting up your face. It was harsh to look at after nothing but candlelight for an hour, but you managed. At least long enough to find a good playlist, a jazz one Steven made for you in the first week of dating. Songs you’d danced to time and time again. It sounded echoey and small in the flat, but you played it regardless, setting the phone on the table as you reached for Marc.
“Dance with me?”
He stuttered this time. “W-What?”
“Dance with me.”
“Baby I’m not much of a dancer…”
Sighing, you pulled him close, your hand sliding into his. “That’s okay.” You felt him shudder slightly at the way your hand slid on his shoulder, your body pressed against his. “I’m not either.”
Marc knew that was a lie. He’d caught glimpses of moments between you and Steven. The soft love you both shared. It made him ache in ways he couldn’t describe with words, and maybe this was going too far. Maybe Steven would be pissed when he finally came back, but Marc refused to feel sorry for this. He wouldn’t apologize for loving you. Because there was nothing to apologize for—not when you felt so right in his arms.
He managed to sway gently with you, his feet shuffling—albeit a bit clumsily—along the hardwood floor. You didn’t notice. At least if you did, you never said anything. The music hummed a soft tune behind you, the yellow glow of the candles casting shadows across your supple skin. And Marc felt the ground vanish from beneath him.
How could someone be as perfect as you?
“I’m thinking we should go to the Italian restaurant on Friday.”
Flutters overtook his entire body. “Friday sounds good.”
You smiled, resting your head on his shoulder gently. As if you were entirely at ease, planning dates with him like this had happened before. Marc did what he could to be the same. This was normal. This life, this flat, this…relationship. It belonged to him in a way; he just hadn’t seen it.
“We can go walking afterwards,” you said, your words soft—your breath washing across his neck and causing goosebumps to form. “See the moon.”
He smiled. “I see too much of the moon.”
“Then we go during the day.” Marc wrapped his arm tighter around your waist, daring to rest his hand a bit lower. You shivered at the touch. “See the sun instead.”
Marc realized then why Steven loved you, why he fought to keep you in his life. You gave all of yourself in a way he might never be able to. You jumped in wholeheartedly, with a smile on your face. Consequences be damned. And like the lights finally came back on in the apartment, he realized why he loved you. Steven—the man meant to protect him for his entire life—was an exact reflection of you.
You wore your heart on your sleeve just as he did.
You loved fiercely, hoped endlessly, and gave your entire soul to the one you chose.
Whether he liked it or not…you chose him too. Even if he couldn’t give over all of himself. Yet.
“Okay,” he murmured, resting his head gently against yours. “We’ll see the sun.”

fics about Aziraphale seducing Crowley or just being especially bratty??? and thank you for your work, you're a blessing 💓💓
Here are some fics in which Aziraphale seduces Crowley and/or is a bit bossy and bratty...
More Than Enough Of A Bastard by orphan_account (M)
He used all his charm to assure those lovely ladies and gentlemen that he and Aziraphale were the most educated, sophisticated, well-read two men in the entire London. And it was working rather well, except for one thing. Aziraphale. Aziraphale himself and whatever the Hell he was doing with his hand underneath the table. At first, Crowley thought that he imagined the whole thing. It must have been his demonic lustful nature taking the best of him. It couldn’t – it just COULDN’T – be that Aziraphale would risk jeopardizing this meeting by being so frivolous with his hands. But after he threw a glance downwards, where his legs were, he realized it really WAS happening – Aziraphale was stroking a spot on Crowley’s inner thigh, all the while smiling charmingly and chatting with his new friends.
All things in nature are dark except where exposed by the light by IneffableDemon (E)
"Crowley, preparing his art tools, waited for the model to sit. He heard the soft brush of clothing and the stool creaking under someone’s weight. Finally. Crowley turned around and the art tools fell from his hands. There was an angel sitting in front of him. It was a very particular angel, one he had become far too familiar with for the past few thousand years. And he was naked."
Just A Little Taste by Yoite (E)
Even before the fateful non-arrival of the hellhound, Warlock's birthday party doesn't go exactly to plan.. My contribution to the White Suit Crowley Event. (Also, this covers my Good Omens Bingo squares "baking" and "flame".) This is a sex pollen story, so consent is mildly dubious (on both sides), but I intended this to be light and humorous. Conflict is kept to a minimum.
Who Tempts the Tempter by MelayneSeahawk (E)
Aziraphale Tempts Crowley to try to get them together after the Apocalypse; Crowley realizes he's doing it, and is so amused (and turned on) that they fall directly into bed
An Angel in the Bastille by The_Bentley (M)
Aziraphale didn't expect to get rescued from the Bastille by Crowley. He also didn't expect Crowley to get into a bloody brawl with revolutionaries while they had lunch. Nor did Crowley expect Aziraphale to get drunk and try to get into his breeches later that night while they drank on the roof of Notre Dame. A continuation of the Reign of Terror vignette seen in the third episode of the miniseries done in three chapters of 1000 words each. (Actually four in this case because of an alternate ending written for the friend who betaed this.)
A Wrapped Audience by OllieMaye (E)
Aziraphale enrolls in a yoga class and Crowley enjoys the fruits of his leggings labours.

For the bingo, could you do friends to lovers with Azriel? Also, I love your writing!
First of all, thank you very much, I really appreciate this type of comments about my writing, it makes me so happy and I always feel motivated 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
NOW
I was on my normal Taylor Swift moment and BOOM she said "Damn, never seen that color blue" and I knew I was done from now on if I didn't write something for Azriel with this song 🥹
Here we are, thank you
Delicate
As the night unfolds at Rita's, you and the Inner Circle are enjoying yourselves together, laughing and sharing stories with each other. The atmosphere is lively, and the free bottles of wine are definitely contributing to the merriment. Since Rita's birthday when Rhysand gifted her a ridiculous amount of wine that she was sure she couldn't sell she's been proposing games every Saturday night and obviously the most eager to participate were you and your friends.
Tonight the idea is to go up to the stage and share one secret with everyone in the bar. If they think the secret is good enough they'll scream and you can go back to your table with a bottle of wine. It started pretty light, some nonsense secrets that people only laughed at and no one took a bottle. However, as the night progresses, the secrets start to get deeper and more personal, granting a lot of people an unhealthy amount of alcohol in their bodies.
You and your friends decided to participate too, knowing that whatever you said up there would make people scream. After each member of the Inner Circle goes up on stage and reveals a dumb little secret, it's finally your turn. With a slightly tipsy but determined gait, you take the stage, capturing everyone's attention, including Azriel's, who's watching you with curiosity but a bit of concern, taking your itty bitty drunk state.
You hesitate for a moment, thinking about the secret you wanted to reveal. I mean, now everyone in Rita's knew they couldn't use the table in the House of the Wind after Nestha's confession. Yours wouldn't hurt that much, right? So you take a deep breath and begin to speak. You started light, recounting the years you've spent together with your friends, the adventures you've shared, and the unbreakable bond you've formed as friends. A story that made everyone happy.
Until you finally pulled the card from your sleeve, telling everyone the day you met Azriel and how you felt. The friendship you created with him and how exactly your feelings started to develop after the years you spent together. The funny moments and the sad ones too, the love you felt for everyone in the Inner Circle would never compare to how you felt about the Shadowsinger. And you meant it, you are in love with him, for the cauldron's sake! You said you are content with being his best friend, but you love him so much that sometimes you think you might explode.
Your declaration of love is met with stunned silence by the whole bar and then a round of applause from the Inner Circle, who had no idea about your feelings until this moment. Rita grants you three bottles of wine at once, your state not making you understand exactly why but you accept it gladly, trembling back to the table with your friends.
Azriel's heart skips a beat as he listens to your words, trying to process the depth of your emotions. He's touched by your honesty, damn, he feels every bit the same for you, but he also knows that you had quite a bit to drink, which might have influenced your decision to share this with everyone. Especially when you don't react to the provoking of your friends and just play along, not quite comprehending why everyone was so excited but happy to be happy with them.
As the applause finally dies down, and the rest of your group opens another bottle, Azriel quickly stands up, thanking everyone for the entertaining night and requesting their understanding that you might be a little overwhelmed right now and that he would take you back home. You protested and tried to sit back, only for him to take you on his shoulder, guiding you out of the noisy bar and into the cool night air.
Once outside, Azriel lets you down and wraps his arm around your shoulder, supporting you as you walk. Saying that going home on foot would help you sober up a little bit.
-You know, you didn't have to do that - He says gently, concern evident in his voice - Anything you said would be good enough for them.
-I know - You funnily reply, your cheeks flushed with both embarrassment and alcohol, your words getting out tripping from your mouth - But I just... I couldn't keep it in any longer. I had to tell you. I love you this much - You let go of him just to open your arms wide and show him the amount of love you had - Maybe even more. It would need the whole court to open their arms to show you how much - He laughs at you and makes you walk again, holding you close to him the whole way.
-You mean the world to me, do you know that? I never want to lose you, I think I might die if I do - Your shocked expression makes him laugh again, the sound fluttering your heart again.
-No, don't die, Azriel, please - You hug him tightly and then place a hand on his cheek - I don't want to lose you ever ever. And even if you don't feel the same way, I need you to know - Azriel's expression softens, and he gently takes your hand, squeezing it reassuringly.
-Let's talk about this tomorrow when you're not under the influence of gallons of wine. I promise we'll figure things out, okay? - You only nod, trusting him completely, and allow Azriel to lead you to the Town House.
Back in your room, you found a way to stumble into every single fitment in every single room you went through, laughing each time your body hit something different. Azriel guides you to your bathroom with gentle care. Your steps are unsteady, and your words are still a bit slurred, a clear indication of how much alcohol was still in your body, and that the walk did nothing to sober you up. Despite your inebriated state, you kept trying to talk to him, but your words were sometimes muddled and difficult to comprehend, which only made Azriel agree and continue to take you to your destination.
-I hope you're not mad at me. I know it's a delicate matter to you and I said it in front of everyone in the whole Velaris - You turned to him when he made you sit in the tub edge while he turned on the water and filled it with shower salts and scents - Is it cool that I said all that? Maybe I crossed the line. Sometimes I wonder if you would ever look at me and think about me the same way that I do. Is it too soon to have this conversation? I feel like I made a mess of myself now and-
-Shh, it's okay. You don't need to explain anything - Azriel whispers, his voice soothing - We'll talk in the morning when you're feeling better. Right now, let's get you cleaned up and ready for bed.
He helps you undress and assists you into the tub, his gaze never lowering for too long from your face. Making sure the water is warm and comforting he washes your hair and helps you clean your body when you distract yourself with the bubbles floating in the water or when you have sudden low peaks of energy and simply lies your head on his chest and lets him do all the work - that he gladly does.
After the shower, Azriel wraps a fluffy towel around you, gently patting you dry until you say you can do it alone. He hands you a glass of water that he summoned from the house, encouraging you to drink it to help with the inevitable hangover. You comply, taking small sips at times while he dresses you in some of the sleeping clothes he found in your massive wardrobe, his eyes still filled with affection and yours with gratitude.
-Will you stay with me tonight? - You ask with a plea in your voice once he settles you in your bed, now that he dressed you in a nightgown and dried your hair.
-Of course - Azriel replies without hesitation, his heart aching at the sight of your vulnerability. He climbs into bed beside you, pulling the covers over you both, cocooning you in his warmth. He wraps his arms around you gently, holding you close as you snuggle into his embrace, feeling his scent and the heat that irradiates from his skin.
-You're my best friend - You murmur, your words still slightly slurred - I'm glad I told you how I feel. Or everyone at Rita's. Even if... even if it's complicated.
-I'm glad you told me too. And I promise, we'll figure this out together. But right now, rest. We can talk more tomorrow when you're feeling better - Azriel brushes a soft kiss on your forehead, slowly wrapping you with his wings as if testing the territory.
As the night wears on, your breathing steadies, and you drift into a peaceful slumber in Azriel's arms. He stays awake for a while, watching over you, his mind a whirlwind of emotions and thoughts. He cares and loves you so much that his heart aches sometimes, and your confession has brought a mix of joy and trepidation to his mind.
In the quiet darkness, he decides that whatever the future holds for him, he will always cherish your friendship and be there for you, just as he has always been. And as he finally succumbs to sleep, he hopes that the morning will bring clarity and understanding for both of you, strengthening the bond that has held you together for so long.
The morning light begins to filter into the room, gently rising you from your slumber. As you open your eyes, memories from the previous night flood back, and you can't help but cringe with embarrassment at your drunken confession and all of the conversations that followed after. You try to cover your face with your hands, wishing you could disappear, but you're met with a strong pair of arms holding you still in place. Tracing the tattoos you know so well you realize who exactly is holding you in your bed. Azriel stirs beside you, sensing the movements you were making. He brushes a hand over your back soothingly to calm you down.
-Hey, there's no need to be so hard on yourself, slow down a bit - he whispers softly.
You finally gather the courage to look at him, expecting disappointment or awkwardness in his expression. Instead, you only find warmth and understanding in his eyes.
-I remember everything - You admit, voice tinged with shame - I'm sorry, Az. I must have made a complete fool of myself. And you probably felt so embarrassed - Azriel lifts your chin gently, causing you to meet his gaze directly, his touch not letting you look away.
-You have nothing to be sorry for - He says earnestly - Last night, you were just being honest about your feelings. I value that honesty, and I value you. It doesn't change anything between us.
-But... but I was drunk, and I told so many things about us, things that no one knew - You stammered, your cheeks flushing with embarrassment.
-Yes, you were drunk, I acknowledge that, but your feelings were still genuine. And to be honest, I've been wrestling with my own feelings too - Azriel smiles softly, his thumb brushing against her cheek.
-You have? - Your eyes widen, hope flickering in your heart.
-I didn't want to make any rash decisions last night, but this is something I've known since the first time I met you. I care about you deeply, and I've been in love with you for a long time too - Your heart skips a beat at his confession, a wave of relief washing over you.
-You have? - You ask, needing to hear those words again.
-Yes - Azriel replies, his voice steady - I love you too - Unable to contain your emotions any longer, you throw your arms around him, hugging him tightly.
-I was so scared I'd ruin everything - You admit, your voice muffled against his shoulder. Azriel holds you close, pressing a gentle kiss to your forehead.
-You could never ruin anything between us. I cherish our friendship on top of everything, but I've come to realize that what we should have is something even deeper. I want to explore this with you, if you're willing to - Tears of joy and relief gather in your eyes as you pull back to look at him.
-I want that too - You say, voice filled with love and happiness - I want to see where this takes us.
-Then let's take it one step at a time. No need to rush anything. We'll figure it out together, just like we always do - Azriel smiles, his hand cupping your cheek tenderly.
-Thank you for being understanding and for not pushing me away - You say gratefully, kissing the palm of his hand that were holding you. He slowly leans in, pressing a soft kiss to your lips.
In that moment, you and Azriel were embarking on a new chapter of your relationship, one filled with love, trust, and the knowledge that you have been each other's best friends and confidantes all along only to become the best of lovers. And honestly, you weren't feeling any bit of nervousness, the years you spent growing your friendship making you sure that you wouldn't get out of this situation hurting. Actually, you were sure you wouldn't get out of this situation. Which you were completely content about.
-I could never push you away - He whispers, your foreheads resting together - You mean too much to me.

A Mere Trifle
My first contribution to Rebelcaptain Fluffbruary! The prompt I went with was "dessert."
A Mere Trifle
Bodhi opened the fridge. "Oooooh," he said in delight. His roommate made sweets and desserts to relax, and Bodhi was usually the beneficiary.
"Don't you fucking touch the fucking trifle!" Jyn yelled from another room.
"Why not?" he yelled back, but set the bowl of trifle back where he'd found it.
"Because I'm saving it for poker night, you glutton."
Bodhi raised his brows at nothing. Poker night was at theirs tomorrow night, and while most everyone brought food, it was more along the lines of grocery-store chips and dip. Not a dessert of multiple layers and steps and approximately thirty thousand calories. 
He grabbed the leftover Chinese instead, gave it a sniff, and concluded it probably wasn't going to kill him. Eating beef and broccoli out of the container, he went to the other room where Jyn scowled at the computer screen full of her photos that she was working on. "Not even a nibble?" he asked pitifully.
"Nope."
He licked sauce off his thumb. "It's got all berries and whipped cream and custard. You seriously expect me to resist?"
"Yes, I do, or I'll shave your head in your sleep."
Bodhi put a protective hand over his ponytail. "You're a cruel woman, Jyn Erso."
She bit her thumbnail, narrowing her eyes at two virtually identical images of an empty lot. She twiddled a setting and suddenly the tiny yellow flowers blooming amongst the lanky dried grass burst into focus. "You've known that for years," she said. 
-
Poker night started around seven, or whenever enough people straggled in to get a decent game going. Bodhi expected the trifle to come out as they set up the table and pulled mismatched chairs in from all over the house. But only the two party subs that Jyn had picked up on her way home from work made an appearance. 
"It's got to stay chilled," Jyn claimed when he asked about it. 
"Uh . . . huh," he said, but had to go answer the door before he could needle the truth out of her.
It was Melshi, who came armed with various chips. "You ready to lose?" he crowed, setting a bag of tortilla chips next to the subs.
"No, but you'd better be," Bodhi told him. 
"Big talk. Beers in the fridge?" Melshi asked.
"Yup."
He opened the door, grabbed a beer off the door, and paused. "Holy shit, Jyn, did you make that?"
Jyn was across the room in a split second, smacking his hand. "Don't touch!"
"Why not?" he whined, cradling his hand.
"Cos I said so." She slapped the door closed. "Go stuff your face with a sandwich. Veggie's on the left side."
Melshi sighed heavily and went to pile his slice of veggie sub high with peppers and mayo.
Leia and her brother came in next, then Kay, then Luke's truck-driver friend, Han, and his large, hairy roommate, Chewie, and then Shara and Kes from down the hall. About half of them mentioned the trifle, and every time, Jyn refused to let them get it out.
It didn't escape Bodhi's notice that Jyn's head snapped around every time the door opened. It also didn't escape his notice that Cassian Andor, who worked at the paper where Jyn sometimes picked up photo gigs, wasn't there yet.
People skipped poker night for work, holidays, hot dates, classes, and exhaustion. Usually they put it in the group text. Bodhi checked his phone. 
"Nobody's canceled," Jyn said without looking at her own.
"Right," Bodhi said, grinning to himself, and arranged his bingo chips. "Okay, who won the last game at Han and Chewie's?" 
"Me," Kes said, raising his hand, and taking the deck to deal. 
Two rounds in, Jyn was looking very downcast, but she still snarled like a Doberman whenever anybody went near the fridge. 
"We ever gonna get some of that dessert?" Han whispered to Bodhi.
"Your guess is as good as mine," Bodhi whispered back.
The doorknob rattled, and Jyn got half out of her chair before the door opened. She sat back down as Cassian came in. "Hey," he said, brushing snow out of his hair. 
"Hey," Jyn said casually. "Thought you weren't going to make it."
"Sorry," he said, shrugging out of his coat. "I kept thinking I was almost done with the article and then I wasn't. How much has Melshi lost?"
Melshi flipped him off. 
"Not enough yet," Jyn said, and got Melshi's finger next. "Did you get anything to eat?"
"No, and I'm dying. Tell me there's something left."
She waved a hand at the subs, mostly decimated on the counter. He put one of each kind on his plate and added mustard, then piled the rest of his plate high with potato chips and the baby carrots that Luke had brought. 
"Should be beers in the fridge," she added. "Oh, and I forgot about a dessert I left in there, can you get it out?"
"Ohhh!"
"So he gets some of that first?"
"I see how it is, Erso!" 
"That's who it was for?"
"Well well well!"
Jyn scowled. "Okay, the lot of you can go fuck yourselves."
"What?" Cassian asked, popping his head up over the fridge door and looking at all of them quizzically. 
"Nothing," Jyn said. "Everybody here is a fucking moron, that's all. You find it?"
"With all the whipped cream? Wow," he said, pulling it out. "This looks amazing, Jyn. Is this the thing you were telling me about last week? Whatsits. Trifle?"
"Oh, yeah, it is," Jyn said as if it was a massive coincidence.
He looked at her for a moment, a little smile playing around the corners of his mouth. "I can't believe it survived this long with these animals."
Melshi opened his mouth, then yelped as if a Doc Marten had met his shin with force. 
"Well, like I said, I forgot about it," Jyn said. 
Bodhi looked across the table at her and mouthed, You're so full of shit. She ignored him, a blush spreading up her face. 
Cassian sat down next to her, juggling his plate of sandwiches and a serving of trifle in a bowl. "This is really good," he said with his mouth full. "I mean, really. Wow." He nudged Luke. "Get some of this, it's incredible."
"Thanks," Jyn said, shrugging, dealing the next hand. "It was nothing."

I wanted to contribute to the Steven meme.
At first, I wanted to draw Mizu and Mitsuri Kanroji, but as I was looking for references on Pinterest I saw a cute drawing of Bingo and Bluey, so... Yeah.
I risked the drawing and painted it.

(I THINK I FUCKED UP MIZU'S FACE- 😭 I'm still learning to paint and draw in general... However, I STILL DID MY GIRL DIRTY)

Special thanks to Mod Atarah (@penguinsledder) and our new Mod Celes (@chocomd​) for the lovely gif! 
What is Kataang Week?
Kataang Week is when we, as a corner of the fandom, celebrate the ship Kataang! The prompts for Kataang Week 2023 were selected through four rounds of voting over the last few weeks and all prompts were submitted by Tumblr users.
Cool, when is it?
Summer Kataang Week 2023 starts on Monday, July 24th - just over seven weeks from today - and ends on Monday, July 31st.  
How do I participate?
The most common ways to participate are by creating art or writing a fic and posting it online. Some people try and create something for every day while others only fill one or two prompts.  
As always, we want to reassure you that it’s perfectly okay not to do every prompt! We just hope to have lovely pieces to share on each day.
But I can’t draw or write!
That’s totally fine - there are more ways to participate! You can sing a song, create a graphic, write a poem - just about anything really. You can also show your support by reblogging and liking other people’s contributions.
What are the prompts?
The following will be the running order for Kataang Week 2023:
Wind & Rain - Monday July 24th
Injured - Tuesday July 25th
Confession / Whisper - Wednesday July 26th
Cultural Differences/Cultural Exchange - Thursday July 27th
Secretly Dating / Rivals to Lovers - Friday July 28th
Spirits - Saturday July 29th
Reunion/Meeting Again - Sunday July 30th
Free Day - Monday July 31st
Don’t forget that this year we have the Kataang Week 2023 Bingo Challenge, as well as alternative prompts for Free Day! See the bingo challenge post for more information. 
* As a reminder, Cultural Differences/Cultural Exchange and Reunion/Meeting Again were combined during voting as they were very similar prompts. You can interpret them as singular or separate prompts and incorporate one or both for each day.
** Confession and Whisper, as well as Secretly Dating and Rivals to Lovers, were tied with votes, so instead of flipping a coin/deciding randomly, both tied prompts are included as options. You can incorporate one or both prompts for each day.
*** And as always, there is a Free Day at the end of the week. You can use this day to post anything you’d like! It can be a prompt that didn’t receive enough votes or something you’ve been wanting to work on, anything goes!
How should I tag my work?
The easiest way for us to find your work so we can reblog it to this blog is by using the tag “kataang week”. Using “kataang” and “kataangtag” also help. You must tag one of the three in your first five tags otherwise it doesn’t appear in the search.
Sometimes even properly tagged posts may not appear when we search the tags, so if you do not see your content reblogged, please let us know.
Once we’ve reblogged it to this blog we add our own tags (a prompt tag and a user tag) for easy organization. This means we can find all the work for one prompt or all the work from one user in one easy click (this also means that if you have changed your username since participating last year you need to let us know so we can update your tag!).
Can I post my stuff other places online too?
Of course you can!
Why seven weeks? Is that enough time?
Traditionally, we like to provide our content creators seven weeks (for the seven prompts) to create quality content. Kataang Week is also traditionally held in the last week of July.  
If you are unable to complete a prompt in time, please do not fret. You can alert this blog by mentioning it in your post (ex. @kataang-week​) or messaging one of the mods and your content will still be shared even if it is a week (or a month - or sometimes more!) late.
We also like to post WIP for Kataang Week and encourage everyone else to do so as well - we reblog it here for motivation!
As always, if you have any questions, comments, or concerns, don’t hesitate to send an ask. Don’t forget to reblog this as well to help spread the word!
Good luck, Kataangers, and happy content creating! :) - The Mods

AHHHHH THANK YOU SEV!!! YOU ARE TOO KIND AND I AM JUST GRINNING LIKE A FIEND!! Seriously, thank you SO MUCH for the kind words! I'm glad I can make some positive contributions!
I struggled with this one for a bit, but had a sudden idea that I wound up liking A LOT. I hope you do too!
Pairing: Commander Fox x gn!Reader
Rating: T
Warnings: language, some suggestive themes, Fox telling jokes
Word Count: 1.5k words
Tumblr media
Your heart thunders in your ears as you race down the alley, already leaping for the chain link fence that blocks off the end of it, fingers digging into the metal to pull yourself up and over. Heavy footfalls slap the pavement behind you, and you tuck and roll as the duracrete on the other side of the fence breaks your fall. You slam into a trash bin, skinning your knees and bruising your shoulders. You’re already pushing yourself to your feet when you see a switch just to the left of the fence. 
Bingo. 
You scramble over to it, slapping on the power, and you hear the electricity in the links hum to life, making them glow and effectively cutting off your pursuers. A red light comes on at the top of the fence, warning anyone around that it’s electrified now, and that they should only touch the fence at their own peril. You kick a half-eaten fruit that had tumbled from the trash bin at it, and it sizzles satisfyingly when it makes contact with the fence. You grin as the familiar voice of a Coruscant Guard echoes down the alley from the direction you came from.
“STOP!” 
Three Corries skid to a halt on the opposite side of the fence. 
“I think she’s activated it sir,” one of the troopers states. 
He’s new.
“Oh, are you sure, Brick? Was the big fucking red light your first clue?” snarls the commander sarcastically, the telltale wings on his helmet glinting in the glow of the fence. 
You extend your middle finger haughtily as you back away from the fence. “Eat shit, Thorn!” You can’t help but grin to yourself as you round the corner. You hear him swear through his vocoder as you trot out of view. 
The bracelet that you’ve swiped off of one of the senators jingles in your pocket as you pull out the credit pouch you snatched off of her husband and begin tallying your score. You’re so absorbed in counting your credits that you don’t even notice the wall of red and white plastoid standing in front of you until you slam face-first into it. You fall backwards onto your ass, the credits bouncing across the pavement with a light tinkling noise as you stare up into the familiar visor of Commander Fox. His arms are crossed over his chest. 
He sighs, muttering your name under his breath. You grin. 
“Fancy meeting you here, Commander,” you tease. 
“Not as fancy as that jewelry poking out of your pocket,” he growls. 
“Oh this? I just picked this up for my uhhh grandmother. It’s her birthday tomorrow, and you know, she just loves her jewels," you lie, shoving the bracelet back in your pocket. He doesn’t move as he watches you clumsily try to scoop some of the credits back into the pouch.
“Am I to assume that credit pouch is for your grandmother also?”
“Yup. You know. In case she wants to get something else if the bracelet isn’t her style.”
“How nice of you to get it monogrammed for her with Senator Siil’s husband’s initials,” he says flatly. 
You wince as you finally note the flowery Aurebesh branded into the leather. “Grandma’s a uh… big fan of his work. As a senator's husband.” 
Fox leans down and offers you a hand, which you take. Like an idiot. He pulls you up before spinning you and pushing you against the wall, slapping a pair of binders on you. You tug at the restraints behind your back, shooting a glare over your shoulder.
“Oh, come on, Fox!” 
He spins you around. “What did you think was going to happen? That I was going to pat you on the ass and let you wander off to shake more people down?” 
You shrug, tongue poking between your teeth. “I mean, if you want to pat my ass, I wouldn’t be that opposed.” 
You can’t see his eyes, but you can practically hear them rolling in their sockets beneath his bucket. 
“You’re unbelievable.”
“And you find it endearing.” 
He scoffs. “Not the word I’d choose.” His hand clamps around your forearm as he starts to guide you out of the winding network of alleys. You walk slowly, dragging your last moments of freedom out. You’ve always enjoyed your chats with Fox on the way back to the station anyway, at least before he books you on a petty crime and sends you to lockup for a week or two. You’re pretty sure he likes your interactions too, as much as he’ll deny it. But he isn’t rough with you, and he's not making any effort to rush your pace. That’s all just you speculating though; his bucket does a good job of hiding what he’s actually thinking, which you suspect is the point.
You walk in silence for a few minutes, and you feel his grip on your arm loosen slightly. He knows you won’t run; you know when you’re caught. 
“So, Thorn’s gotten slower,” you note casually. 
He huffs what you think might be a laugh. Hard to tell with the way the helmet's vocoder alters his voice. 
“I’m serious," you insist. "Maybe tell him to lay off the beer and work more cardio into his routine.” 
“I’ll be sure to pass your feedback along.”
“Was that a joke, Commander?”
“Been trying them out every now and then.” 
You can’t help but snicker at that.
The silence resumes for a few more minutes, but this time, he’s the one to break it. 
“Why do you always come here to pickpocket? You know we’re all over the place with all of the rich assholes walking around. The marks may be high-reward, but you can find plenty of Coruscant’s most wealthy in the lower levels, sleazing it up with less savory types. You'd probably have a better shot at getting away too.” 
“Thanks for the tip,” you snipe. “I’ll be sure to keep it in mind for my future criminal endeavors.” 
His grip on your arm tightens enough to stop you. “I’m serious,” he says, the exasperation in his voice clear. He shakes his head before raising his visor to look at you. “Look, things are starting to get a little more harsh up here. With the level of petty crime increasing as the war goes on and who it's impacting the most, there’s a push to start doling out harsher punishments. You’re going to land yourself more than a week in lock-up if you keep adding to your record. I’m talking years in prison.” 
You wish you could see under his helmet right now. You’re studying his visor carefully, looking for any sign as to what’s led to this concern for your well-being. 
“I like it up here,” you reply. 
“Why?” 
You shrug, trying to hide the heat in your cheeks. “I don’t know. Maybe I hope I’ll get to see more of a certain commander when he arrests me.” 
“Thorn hates you, just so you know.”
“I’m not talking about–”
“I know. That was another joke.” 
You stare at him blankly for a moment before you burst out laughing loudly. You could swear some of the tension leaves Fox’s shoulders as he watches you, his helmet tilting to one side. 
“That’s good. You’re getting good, Fox.” 
He nods, and you think he might be a little proud. His fingers flex nervously at his sides. “You said it was Thorn that lost you?”
“Yeah him and a couple of shinies. Why?”
You can see Fox considering something, something that makes him nervous, something wildly out of character for him. He reaches forward, spinning you to face away from him, and you feel the binders click loose. You bring your hands to your front, rubbing your wrists as you whirl to face the commander of the Coruscant Guard, who’s tucking his binders back on his belt. 
“What the fuck are you doing?” you ask, completely gobsmacked. 
He shrugs. “Thorn cheated at sabacc last week and still won’t own up to it. I like the idea of being able to hold this over his head and give him shit about it.” 
“Won’t you get in trouble?”
“Only if you keep standing here talking to me.” 
You grin, stepping forward and standing on tiptoe so that you can boldly place a kiss on his bucket. You pat the side of it as though it were his cheek. “Thanks, Fox.” 
His hand catches yours as you step away. “If you really want to see more of me,” he says quietly, “just come to the 79s and ask me on a date. Less paperwork and binders involved that way.” 
"But what if I like the binders?"
"I save those for at least the second date," he deadpans.
Heat flushes across your face at his offer. You poke a finger into his chest plate, trying to recover your footing with him. “Fine, but you’re buying.” 
He tosses you the credit pouch, which you clumsily catch. “Nope. The Senator’s husband is. But I’d get rid of that monogrammed pouch.” 
You playfully salute him. “Yes, sir.” 
He nods again before turning on his heel, disappearing into Coruscant’s fading light. 
Thanks for participating in my 800 Follower Celebration!

hi! do you have serennedy headcanons about luis and leon being parents?
Hello!! Of course I do omg are you kidding me!!!!!!! I have a whole tag on my main @wisecrackingeric-2 titled ‘DadSerennedyAU’ if you wanna see my own spin on the idea!!!!! ORRRR if you wanna read something from yet another incredibly talented artist and author I CANNOT recommend @mooseonahunt ‘s AU enough!!!! And I know the lovely @geddy-leesbian has made some posts on this subject also!!!!!!!
But in terms of Headcannons I have plenty!! I’ll put them below the cut to avoid clogging anyone’s dashes!!
Edit: THIS IS UH UM. V E R Y LONG. I WENT KINDA BUCKWILD WITH THIS ONE AHDNCHDNXUXJXJ SO UH PLEASE ENJOY I GUESS!!
• First and foremost they are t4t. Sorry I don’t make the rules (also. Look at my blog name HQNAHWNEHDNDUDJ /lh)
• I imagine it was probably Luis who wanted a kid- we don’t know much about Leon’s childhood other than the fact that his parents died (the very wonderful @highball66 has some more information on the backstory we DO have for him!!) and thus we don’t really have a good idea of what his relationship with his parents might’ve been- but Luis is the TOTAL opposite. We know from context clues that he had a really strong relationship with his Grandfather, who went as far as to encourage his love for science and the unorthodox in an incredibly strict Catholic environment, and it’s implied on some level that Bitores Mendez had some hand in helping raise him, so I can imagine that Luis is very attached to the idea of parenthood and would probably wanna be the same kind of man his Grandfather was to him!!!
• Leon???? Realistically???? Probably a whole lot more hesitant- like he almost dies on the job everyday there’s no way he’d feel fit enough to raise a kid. But also,,,,, this is resident evil and also fiction where we can do whatever the hell we want so hell yeah he comes around to the idea eventually!!!!!!
• Luis is probably accidentally VERY clingy with their kid/a lil overbearing during the toddler age. Everything he’s ever contributed to in his life has either hurt others or he’s destroyed it one way or another- and everyone he’s held closest to him dies in some way. And going off of the first point, he’s probably put a LOT of pressure on himself to be a good Dad like his Grandfather was, so that usually ends up with him hogging the baby HCNNSSNSJSNIS
• Leon, again similar to my last point, would probably have the opposite reaction where he has this gut instinct to keep his distance- like he’s worried if he gets too attached it’s all gonna be ripped away from him just like Sherry was all of those years ago. But I highly doubt either of their qualms last for very long- they’d talk things out and figure out something that works for the both of them <3
• They’d probably go with the same middle and last name as Luis- ‘Serra’ and ‘Navarro’. I know I keep repeating myself but Luis had a really good relationship with his Grandfather and his culture/heritage clearly means a lot to him (ie; the intro to Seperate Ways), so being able to keep that little piece of his history alive would probably mean the world to him <<33
• And going off of that, Luis is ALWAYS trying to encourage their kid to learn more about their culture and heritage- teaching them Spanish, cooking them traditional foods, etc etc etc and when Luis isn’t there to do it, Leon is always more than happy to do so <<<<<<33333
• Let’s be real,,,,,,, Leon is coming up with the cringiest baby names ever HXNEHENDUXNXU CMOOOOOON LOOK AT MR. WHERES EVERYONE GOING BINGO!!!!! But Luis probably isn’t much better BCNENWEJSJ I can easily picture him convincing Leon that noooooo Alonso or Miguel aren’t references to Don Quixote hahahahahaha omg what’re you taaaalking abooout. So anyways if it were a girl what about Dulcinea-
• I’m picturing them choosing to have a kid a lil bit later than most people (like,, late 30’s-early 40’s??? So not like they’re old or anything but it’s not like they’re having kids in their early 20’s yk HNCSHDNSJ) so for that reason in my mind they’d probably only want one kid
• Very predictable but they both read Don Quixote to their kid when putting them to sleep and/or they sing them lullabies in Spanish. Who here is surprised for that one certainly not me
• And once again WHO IS SURPRISED, the kid’s room is very subtly Don Quixote themed. Lil stuffed donkeys and windmill motifs everywhere you get it (<- normalest guy alive)
• Leon’s probably the one who does more physical activities with their kid- realistically, Luis is N O T surviving that knife to the back without some major lifelong injuries, so Leon’s the one who always carry’s their kid on his shoulders or swings him around when they’re playing etc etc
• I think Luis would be a lil sad that he isn’t able to join in on those kinds of physical activities, but he’d absolutely make up for it by taking their kid to work or teaching them general hands-on skills n stuff!!
• Leon ABSOLUTELY would wanna teach their kid self-defence as early as possible. He obviously mellows out and realises hey maybe teaching a 10 year old how to wield a knife is a Bad Idea, but with everything he’s seen in his life there’s no way he wouldn’t want his kid to know how to defend themselves at LEAST
• Wild-card one here but the three of them ABSOLUTELY take family trips to Madrid or other cities in Spain during the summer
• Last wild-card one but sometimes Luis will look at their kid and see his Grandfather so clearly he just starts fuckim bawlimg. Same with Leon. He sees the childhood he could’ve had and sometimes he’s gotta excuse himself to cry. Love these beautiful idiots
Tl;dr they would be very very wonderful parents who would love their kid with all of their heart and soul and you can put that headcannon from my COLD DEAD HANDS!!!!!!

Hello! Congrats on the milestone!☺️
If I could, can I request a meet cute prompt at a cafe? I was thinking with either Bucky Barnes or Sirius Black🤔 I understand you may be busy and sometimes the idea just flows better for one character compared to the other so if it’s ok I’ll just leave you with this?😁 Congrats once again!
Honestly, I could go either way...
Thoughts are brewing - many thoughts - for this prompt being applied to Sirius, but I can see a very distinct scene for it with Bucky right now.
Fandom: MCU Characters/Pairings: post-TFATWS!Bucky Barnes x female!Reader Word Count:  1.1k Summary: As much as things have changed, they've also stayed the same, and Bucky's just living a normal life in Brooklyn on an ordinary day, starting with morning coffee. Content Warnings: a little meet-cute fluff, nothing but fluff Additional Notes: This will be the FIRST SQUARE for my Bucky Barnes Bingo @buckybarnesbingo - B3 "Old Married Couple". Literally this is just another cute coffee shop meet cute but I picked this long-haired version of Bucky, but I liked spending time with this soft version of Bucky for a few minutes, so I hope you enjoy him, too.
Tumblr media
The way time passes fascinates Bucky. How could it not when he was born in 1917 and sitting in a café in Brooklyn over a hundred years later still in the prime of his life – a Brooklyn that’s got pieces of old and new, and both are familiar to him now. It’s been almost a year since he was pardoned, and his hair has finally grown out again, but it grows fast, and he’s cut it a few times. He only started coming to this spot in his neighborhood a month ago, but now that it’s settled firmly in as a piece of his morning routine, it’s starting to feel like it’s always been the place to supply his morning coffee and pastry. His coffee order is always the same, but he does branch out on the baked goods. Bart and Tina – the brother and sister who own the place – never fail with what they decide to bake each day for their customers. Bucky recognizes quite a few of the faces himself now. He’s even talked to a few of them – but not many, because they are all New Yorkers after all, and so some don’t want to be bothered with more than a nod.
There’s an old married couple – George and Evelyn – who come in together on the weekdays. They both still teach at the university, not quite retired yet, but they’re younger than Bucky, born in the post-WWII boom. It’s strange to think if he’d lived a normal life, he probably would have had children growing up right alongside George or Evelyn, and yet they speak to him in a very paternal way, asking after him each morning now.
He would be dead and buried, but since he’s been frozen and literally pulled in and out of time, only now is he finally thawed out and warming up to life. Things are steady, normal. He’s only taking a few missions, and so he’s starting to fill in the pieces of what the rest of a life could look like. He started volunteering at the library and there’s a position coming open that he’s being encouraged to apply for. He doesn’t need the paycheck, but he thinks he would like the stability of it – contributing to something, being needed, and for something practically anyone could do.
Bucky feels an awkward twinge, glances up, and looks around. He’s not the only one who noticed a disturbance in the normalcy of the café as he notes others are looking up and uncomfortably watching an atypical scene developing between a couple of people waiting for their orders near the pickup counter. A man in a sharp business suit with perfectly sculpted hair is speaking to you with more and more urgency as you try to naturally sidle away to other parts of the waiting area. Bucky’s seen you just two or three times come in and get your drink to go, so he thinks you’re probably new to the area, but this man clearly bothering you is unfamiliar to the morning crowd Bucky has become familiar with.
Something about the man reminds him too much of John Walker, of all people, and when that realization registers in his head, Bucky’s up and moving without even thinking.
“Oh, there you are,” he says, drawing close enough to put his hand gently on your shoulder. “I must have missed you coming in. I got us a table over there if you want to sit. I’ll bring your drink over.”
He can see he’s startled you, your eyes a little wide as you turn away from the stranger to look at him, but you do seem at last glad enough to have him give you an elegant exit from the situation with the finance bro. “Thanks, Bucky.”
Oh.
You know who he is.
He makes sure to keep a casual expression on his face as you walk around him toward the table he’d indicated. Bucky gives a gruff nod to the man who’d been badgering you and the man nods back. They’re of a similar height, but Bucky knows he’s got the muscles and glare to best him in any situation. Bucky pointedly looks him up and down and the man turns slightly and pulls out his phone to immerse himself in something and disengage from the situation. He can feel the atmosphere of the café return to normal.
Bucky looks back over at his table, and you’re just sliding your chair up to the table, your back to him. He knows he shouldn’t be surprised to still be recognized now and then. As much as he’s trying to blend in, he knows the Avenger part of his identity is part of public discourse, especially since his pardon trials when even more of his past was presented and up for debate.
“Bucky?” Tina slides a drink and a small plate with a croissant and jam on the counter. “Here’s that order,” she says. She pointedly turns the to-go cup so the side where Tina’s written your name is facing Bucky and gives him a wink and a warm smile. She knows Bucky, while friendly, doesn’t go out of his way to talk to the other patrons.
When Bucky sets your drink and croissant on the table and takes his seat again, he glances over just in time to see the other man look over at the two of you without appearing to look and the frown on his face grows. And with that half second now past, he can focus on you in front of him.
“I didn’t order anything with my drink,” you protest.
“A little something from Tina, then,” Bucky reassures you. “She likes to take care of her regulars.”
“Oh, that’s – she’s nice.”
Bucky likes the small smile that brings to your face. “I’m sorry I got you out of one undesirable situation only to make you have to sit with me until that guy leaves,” he says.  
“Maybe I should thank him,” you respond with a nervous laugh, ducking your head a little. “I noticed you the first time I came in, was a little starstruck, and I was determined never to come back, but the coffee’s too good and too close to my place, so I said I’d just get my drinks to go and never embarrass myself trying to figure out how to talk to you.”
“So, then I shouldn’t tell you that guy’s walking out the door right now and you’d be free to leave if I want to talk to you for a few more minutes?” Bucky asks.
“I should probably stay here until I finish this coffee and croissant just in case he’s waiting outside.”
“Sound logic,” Bucky agrees, and the two of you relax into your seats, and time both speeds up and slows down as the conversation unfurls between the two of you.

Sleep seemed to come easily to everyone else in the company except for you, your mind and body still charged and reeling from your earlier encounter with Fili, feeling incapable of finding calm or rest despite knowing you should take the opportunity to.
Every cell in your body craved more of what little you had been given a taste of; the desperation in needing to feel your skin against Fili's so overwhelming you were certain you would never sleep again until you had him.
Rolling over to lay on your other side after having switched from right, to left, to your back too many times to count, you sighed heavily and closed your eyes, trying your best to summon dreams that were anything but those of a naked, blond dwarf pummeling your body with a brute force that had you screaming into the quiet of night.
Focusing on the sound of the fire crackling and the various snores from the deeply slumbering dwarves around you, you eventually dozed off, hoping that Fili - who had chosen a spot for his bedroll on the opposite side of camp so as not to cause suspicion - was sleeping peacefully with an equal desire for you and lewd dreams to match.
As you dozed lightly, the warmth from the fire slowly died off, leaving your back cold and forcing you to nestle yourself further into your blanket until a fresh warmth replaced the exposed sensation and you were roused to the feel of Fili covering you with his heavy body.
His lips tickled against the skin on the back of your neck, the braids of his moustache sending shivering waves down your spine and a grin to break out on your face. You squirmed closer to him, wiggling your bum slightly against the hardening bulge in his trousers, making him breathe deeply onto you, his ability to keep himself quiet fading.
"Fili, what are you doing?" you whispered, turning your head to glance at him as he continued to press his searing lips on your shoulder where he pulled your jacket down to access your skin.
"I can't sleep," he murmured, his voice low and eyes tinged with darkness as he peered at you.
"Why would that be?" you asked, your question audible only to him.
Fili stood with a silent subtlety most dwarves were not graced with and extended his hand to help you do the same while his other placed a thick finger to his lips to urge you to keep quiet, his cheeky smile showing through to make his dimples pierce into either side of his face.
Without questioning a thing, you followed him into the pitch black forest, and as soon as you reached its border where no eyes could reach to unveil your secret, he stopped and took you in a forceful kiss.
"I need you," he vowed in a breathy tone that made your knees feel weak, and to gain support that your legs didn't seem to have as well as displaying how much you needed him in return, you gripped onto his upper arms tightly and dove your mouth against his. This only spurred on his fervor, and moving forward to force you to walk backwards, he strode purposefully until you slammed against a tree.
His hands made quick work, desperately tearing at your garments to expose what parts of you he could the fastest, his eagerness in seeing you bare evident in the erratic pattern he set and the feral glint that sparkled in his icy eyes.
You matched his excitement, ripping open his fur-lined jacket where his body heat poured out to meet your shaking hands, and you moaned with appreciation when you peeled off his tunic and revealed his chiseled form of honed muscle and thick flesh. Dense patches of exceptionally curly, blond hair decorated him from the top of his chest and disappeared beneath the waist of his trousers, which you were hurriedly tugging at the laces of now to free him, your mouth watering at the thought of feeling his heavy, hot member in your hands.
His soft growls encouraged you more, wanting to hear what other sounds you could produce from him by giving him every bit of pleasure he deserved, and the mischievous smile he flashed you as you pulled the leather down his vast thighs to let his cock spring free wildly had you aching more than ever.
You stroked his length appreciatively, relishing in the silky smoothness of his veiny skin until your touch had him bucking into your hand and his mouth flew to your neck where he nipped and sucked in an attempt to keep himself quiet.
"Get these off," he demanded, hooking his fingers in your waistband to aid in removing your pants from you, his sharp words sending another rush of wetness to your core to ready yourself for him. He stepped back from you enough to allow you room to step out of them, and also to give you a view of his nakedness aside from one dagger that remained strapped to the side of his leg. Your eyes stayed fixed on him as you disrobed, slowly and sensually, the view before you of a dwarf so perfectly hewn by the Maker himself causing your hands to caress each part of your own body as it was revealed; the thought of his hands mimicking the sequence fuelling the fire that burned deep inside and waited to engulf your soul.
Finally, you were bare before him, and Fili took a moment to memorize the sight of you, his chest and belly heaving with the deep breaths he used to try to compose himself. It was no use, and in an instant he was covering your body with his, his hands planting themselves against the tree on either side of your face while his tongue greedily demanded entrance to your mouth. His torso pressed on yours possessively, the hairs on his chest teasing your nipples into stiff beads that begged for more of his touch, and right before your mind succumbed to the numbing lust that rose quicker than the tide, you allowed your instincts one last attempt at winning your attention.
"Fili…" you panted, turning your face from his only to grant him access to your neck where he attacked it with wet, hungry kisses that sent your eyes rolling to the back of your head and a shiver to break out on your charged skin.
"Mhm," he hummed carelessly, his concentration focused on the column of your neck where he swiped his tongue down above your breast.
"This-" A moan disrupted you as his lips pulled your nipple into his hot mouth. "This is far too dangerous!" Your fingers laced through his hair and tugged, attempting to pull him away briefly so you could speak coherently. "Need I remind you what happened last time?"
Fili chuckled against your skin as he worked his way back up to your face, his blazing kisses leaving trails of invisible marks in their wake. He took a deep breath as he stared at you with serious, steely eyes, and his voice was frighteningly low and husky when he spoke.
"What's more dangerous is how out of my mind I'll be if I don't have you."
He wedged his thigh between yours so that the hilt of his blade grazed across your skin, the cool metal making you shiver.
"I'll keep you safe, amralime," he muttered, the assurance of protection in his words contrasting to the menacing look in his eyes.
Giving in to the excitement in the risk, you ground yourself against his thigh, allowing your wetness to taint his firm muscles, while his hands gripped your hips to press you down harder in encouragement to gyrate more on him.
His mouth met yours again, barely capturing your lips, the feigning hesitation and provocation driving you to a madness you had never experienced before. Your breaths mingled together as your lips coyly grazed one another, tempting the other to be the one to give in first; the taunting game building you up to the point that as soon as a proper kiss was given again, there would be no holding back.
To your amusement, Fili was the one to break, crashing against you at the same time he swiped his hands under the backs of your thighs, your laugh that was already muffled by his mouth turning into a gasp as he lifted you effortlessly. His cock wagged and bounced against your wet folds from the motion of him wrapping your legs around his waist, making you whine into him in a plea to have him finally fill you.
Slowing the kiss until it paused, Fili's eyes flickered from your lips up to your own hazy eyes while he leaned into you, his leaking, bulbous head breaching your entrance inch by tantalizing inch.
Raking your fingers through his blond tresses again, you relished in the stretch he created in you; his girth and length pushing your limits beyond what you imagined to be possible, your head swimming as your heart and body welcomed him wholly.
Fili pulled out of your heat before plunging back in again as if for good measure, making sure he reached the innermost depth of you. Pressing his forehead against yours, he sucked in a breath, his chest rising beneath your palms, and quiet enough for only you to ever hear, he whispered: "Don't move. Feel me in you."
Sighing out the breath you had been holding, you allowed your body to relax and resist the instinctive need to roll and rock on his shaft, instead closing your eyes to hone in on the flesh buried inside you that pulsed with need and impatience.
Fili released his own shaky breath when he flexed inside you, a signal to his resolve fading with each passing second, but still he persisted with his challenge.
"Squeeze me," he ordered, his demand rough and short. You did as you were told, contracting your inner muscles around his cock in one long, choking hold until you relaxed with a moan and scratched at the downy hairs on his chest.
"Good girl," he praised. "Again."
His words sparked heat over your skin, and careful not to move in any other way, you tightened your walls in a precisely timed rhythm, as slow and drawn out as you could until your limbs quivered and your soul begged for the imminent rapture you knew he would provide.
In turn, guttural groans spilled from Fili's parted lips at the sensation of being warmed and enveloped by your body, the ability to refrain from moving even slightly inside you crumbling and forcing him to clench his teeth hard together.
"Stop." Fili instructed, his tone unwavering despite how his breathing came out ragged and sweat beaded down his face.
Slipping out of you, he brought two fingers to swipe through where his cock had just been, coating them in your slick, his touch making you jolt against the rough bark that dug into your back.
He flashed you a mischievous grin that was visible despite the darkness that shrouded you; the braids on his moustache twitching as his amusement drew out across his face, and you followed his gaze down to where he rubbed his fingers and thumb together, seeing his glistening cock wet with your arousal shine in the moonlight.
Using his lubricated thumb, Fili reached forward and circled it firmly on your swollen bud, causing you to arch and cry out before you had the sense to stifle your sounds by clasping your hand over your mouth.
"You need to be quiet," he warned, pushing himself back inside you at the same time, deeming your silence impossible. Moving your hips to adjust to his size again, you rejoiced in feeling him glide ever so slightly back out before he pressed his hips into yours forcefully until he bottomed out. "And you're still not allowed to move."
Whining at his persistence to the rules he set, you closed your eyes to ready yourself to be at his mercy, only to gasp when he returned his thumb to your tingling pebble at the apex where you concealed him and rubbed it cruelly.
"Fili…" you panted, scraping your nails at the base of his neck. He allowed your hands to guide his head forward, his lips kissing and sucking all across your chest until he convinced both of your nipples to harden from his attention while he worked your clit mercilessly and continued to refuse moving his shaft within you.
It was torture to not be able to rock in tempo with him, but the more he teased you, the closer you came to your undoing. Your chest rose and fell before his face as he traveled up to meet your lips again, probing his tongue against yours greedily and with an untamed harshness that hinted at his own impatience.
"You're doing so well," he praised, the last words coming out strangled as you carefully squeezed your inner muscles again, feeling his cock twitch in response as such a small gesture became nearly unbearable.
Your kissing became more ardent and sloppy as if you were pouring everything into it that you wanted to do but couldn't, all while Fili increased his pace that turned his methodic circling into erratic strokes, your climax barrelling forward exponentially.
Unable to hold it back, your body began to let the stoic walls it gingerly built up fall around you, your hands groping at his thick flesh and mouth spilling your desperate moans into his to be swallowed up as he broke you down to nothing but weightless pleasure.
Giving up his act, Fili removed his hand from your center and drove his pelvis even further into yours, his arms folding around your back to support you as he thrusted powerfully in a dizzying, pistoning act.
Despite you bearing down around his cock in an impossible grip, he managed to unleash his brute strength and slapped against you while you shuddered through your high, your body humping his in up and down motions that contrasted to his back and forth pumps, mixing to create a perfectly orchestrated union.
His reserved growls through gritted teeth echoed in your ears as if far away, and feeling every muscle shift and ripple under the skin on his back, you hung onto every lingering bit of euphoria, your walls aching and tingling under his barrage of irregular blows. The beads at the ends of his braids swung in time with your movements, tapping your chin and chest to add to the frenzy of intoxicating sensations, and as he worked even harder at chasing his end, you could imagine the strong muscles of his perfectly shaped glutes flexing with unbridled brawn.
You felt yourself soak his middle, and breaking from his mouth in search of breath, Fili roared into the silence that was only interrupted by the sound of wet, slapping skin, the signal of his release simultaneously proven as he sunk his teeth onto your collarbone; marking you twice as his cock painted your insides with his hot seed.
Emulating the same process as earlier, Fili stilled in you and focused on syncing your breaths, his deft hands reaching up to hold either side of your face gently, and meeting your lips again - tenderly now - he toyed with your moist, kiss-bruised flesh, indulging in the taste of you.
He hummed against you, which quickly turned into a soft chuckle, any innocence you thought could remain in him vanishing as he once more started to move his hips so his cock slid in and out of you, daring to make the most of it while he still had time working in his favour.
Moans toppled from your lips as you quivered under his unrelenting touch; the sensation of your combined spend leaking from you and trickling over your oversensitive flesh sending you once more into a state of deliriousness.
"You're going to make it impossible to keep away from you," he quipped, his beard scratching your chin as he brushed his nose with yours and landed to stillness with his forehead leaning against yours.
He sighed deeply, and despite not wanting to, he withdrew from you with a groan and gently guided your shaky legs to the soft, dirt floor of the forest. Your arms remained hooked over his shoulders, and before he could part from you completely, you kissed him slowly and passionately, the spark between you never diminishing.
Time ceased to exist, but eventually you parted when a sense of reality broke through your lust-induced haze.
"I suppose we should return," you suggested, although you weren't set on wanting to follow through with it yourself.
"No." Fili stated, so final and definitive. He grinned at you, making his dimples appear, a playful glint sparkling once more in his azure eyes.
With almost too much confidence, he bent to retrieve his pipe from his jacket, and boldly lit a match in the near-complete darkness, making your whereabouts known to any prying eyes who may be watching. Not bothered to don any of his clothes, he remained stark naked and puffed on his pipe proudly until it was officially lit, the faint orange glow illuminating his sweaty chest and tousled locks.
Exhaling a large plume, Fili looked you over, his expression darkening slightly, making your heart thunder in your chest as you in turn watched him stand proudly in nothing aside from the lonely dagger still strapped to his thick thigh. He made a point to glance up at the pitch-black sky, the stars looming overhead with no sign of the sun being close to making its appearance.
"Dawn is far away yet," he said blatantly, placing his wooden pipe to his inviting lips again to take another inhale of pipeweed. "And I'm not done with you."

Limbus company Canto 6 Part 2 spoilers and (Slightly) Leviathan!
My personal notes and thoughts
YOU.
Tumblr media
Alot to unpack from the Canto ngl
1. So when Ryoshu meant "Y.S." it meant "Your suspicious"
2. Last we heard of Aseah was in Leviathan who helped the ring with the mirror experiments which lead to Gubo searching for em (I think?) Now we know what happened after..
Tumblr media
3. Aseah was the one who contributed to these experiments and from the looks of it, they have advanced into bringing identities here? Maybe??
4. Heathcliff distorts so now I gotta check that off my bingo card
5. How did Heathcliff 2 get here? Let alone who brought him here? The possibility is that the basement experiment did, the ring somehow did this or an entire different situation?
6. It's interesting to see that the basement and possibly the entire manor is a corridor
7. The reason why Aseah is in the basement in the first place is unclear. Last we checked Hermann's group was also collecting the boughs from other Cantos. Is Aseah there for personal reasons or is it benefitting the group somehow?
8. Cathy's role in this is confusing??? Did she partake in being in the coffin? Did she know about Heathcliff 2? Was she really partaking in these experiments with full knowledge?
