#not being treated like an inconvenience afterwards

[kurokoros]

actually really messed up over the way that Steve Harrington is a character that's desperate to be wanted by someone and the narrative repeatedly punishes him for it. he's a very metaphorical and literal punching bag each season, but it's Steve so it's always a haha funny in hindsight moment or whatever trauma he goes through simply isn’t addressed afterwards.

like, it's implied that his parents aren't around much and/or they have an unhappy and unhealthy marriage (his mom has to follow his dad on business trips to make sure he isn't cheating, which happens often enough that his friends can joke about it). his friends sucked and he obviously didn't agree with or like some of the things they did, but at least they paid attention to him so it was something. he has a reputation for serial dating (or at the very least sleeping around) by the beginning of his junior year in high school. S1 has Nancy blow him off, lie to him, and then spend the night with Jonathan Byers in her bedroom, leading him to believe she’s cheating on him (and despite the audience knowing that’s not technically the case, there’s no denying that the scenes between Nancy and Jonathan were meant to imply romantic chemistry between them). in S2, drunk or not, Nancy is extremely cruel in the way she blames him in part for the death of her friend and calls their entire roughly year long relationship bullshit (which she never really apologizes for), after which she disappears for several days, leaving their relationship ambiguously over, only to show up again a few days later with the new boyfriend she spent over a year pining for. S3 he pours his heart out to Robin just to be rejected when there were totally different ways to work her coming out scene into the plot that didn’t involve spending x number of episodes hinting towards them as a couple just to pull a bait and switch for the audience. and then in S4 Steve is both insecure about his friendship with Dustin, who has more in common with Eddie than he does with Steve, and he has several different people telling him that he's still interested in Nancy and that she's also interested in him (Dustin, Robin, Eddie), only to have his heart kind of broken all over again when she goes right back to Jonathan. 

and that's emotional pain on top of getting beaten or otherwise attacked every season. though arguably justified, in S1 Steve is slapped, punched, and shoved around. during his fight with Billy in S2, Steve is beaten to the point of being knocked out cold for an undetermined amount of time between roughly 10-30 minutes. this is treated like a joke in S3, but considering the number of blows he took to the head there should have been a very serious concern over him having a concussion at best and trauma to the brain at worst. S3 is the same, but the focus on him feeling “like [his] eye is about to pop out” implies ocular trauma. he’s then drugged and nearly has his fingernails ripped off as a form of torture. finally in S4 his bare back is dragged across the ground, he’s strangled, and he has chunks of flesh ripped out of his sides, which I can’t remember being addressed at all after the group returns from the upside down. 

that’s a lot to go through in the ~2.5 years that Stranger things covers. and what’s worse is that I can’t remember a single time where a character asks if he’s okay

#the way the fight with billy in particular is turned into a joke is just... really upsetting to me #steve tried so damn hard to protect the kids #and afterwards he's treated like an inconvenience for them to deal with. or him being beaten is made into a joke #steve harrington #stranger things #it's 4:30am as I'm posting this and I'm just EMOTIONAL

I’ve been thinking about “mean” (okay no they’re mean) characters.

Specifically, I’m thinking about Rook “Duke” Alistair being best friends with Actual Assassin and meanest bastard around, Velikan.

They’ve known each other since her early days back in the Air Force. Maybe Duke, freshly nicknamed and bright-eyed, got caught up in some sort of ambush with a shiny new unit.

And maybe Velikan was going to kill her as collateral, but for reasons not even he knows, he didn’t.

And now he’s got this duckling (she’s even blond and fluffy like one) that’s practically imprinted on him. Every time they cross paths (and they keep crossing paths for some fucking reason) she lights up and waves, babbling updates about her life. She doesn’t mind his gruff tone or his short temper, or the absolute mauling she receives when he finally acquiesces to spar her.

It’s not that she doesn’t know he’s an assassin. Oblivious as she can be, she’s not stupid. Just the opposite, in fact. She recognizes that approaching him at any point is like sticking a hand in a tiger cage. And yet she still does it, even when they’re out in the field.

How she’s not dead yet, for pure annoyance alone, he’s not sure. But he figures that she’s spent so much time being an inconvenience to him specifically that he’s earned the right to put an end to her.

And then he’s not sure how she isn’t dead from natural selection.

“I thought you were military,” he hisses, brushing dirt off her shirt and pants. Why is he doing so? Because he’s annoyed that she slipped on pile of wet leaves.

“I am!”

“You have no discipline, no coordination, and no sense of self preservation.”

She beams. “I think that last thing is something they encourage, actually.”

He stuffs her into a good hideout and tells her to stay while he takes care of their his tail.

It’s not just the slipping, tripping, and falling. If anything would make him believe in luck, it’s Duke having the worst of it. Falling objects and loose floorboards, changes in a guard rotation or a light coming on at the worst moment. She’s smart and quick enough to watch out for herself, but only just.

Maybe he lets her live out of pure bafflement. Morbid fascination with someone so smart and yet so—

“Stupid,” he growls, dunking her head in the rain barrel.

She comes up sputtering, but giggling. “This isn’t how you’re supposed to treat acid exposure.”

He dunks her under again for good measure. She shakes off on him like a dog afterwards and he genuinely tries to strangle her. But then she gets her sharp little teeth in his arm and bites, proceeds to inform him that he’s going to need antibiotics with a bloody smile.

Is he going to personally bring about her violent, gory end? Yes.

Is she also his best friend? Somehow.

“Do you think cinnamon floss or mint floss is better for improvised stitches?”

“I think you should just bleed out.”

“It’s not for me, dummy…. Yet.”

He’s not relieved when she gets the position with the CIA, but something close to it.

They hire him for their dirty work often enough that he sees her regularly. Her ridiculous, cluttered desk and her grotesque stash of snacks and her constant rotation of injuries because they still let her near machinery.

“You stink,” he scoffs, lifting her right out of her chair as she squeals. “You are taking a shower.”

And because she has the attention span of a fly, he goes in with her. She fusses when he gets soap in her mouth or eyes, but he just tuts that it wouldn’t happen if she were capable of doing it herself. And dignity? Long forgotten as he scrubs her down from head to toe, pinching when she complains about being babied.

“Do not act like a child, then,” he gruffs, throwing a towel in her face.

Honestly, Laswell should be ashamed.

“When was the last time you ate?” He demands, squishing her cheeks with a little shake. “Eh? When was the last time you had something other than blue candy?”

“‘S raspberry.”

“Are raspberries blue? No. They teach this in school. All that sugar has rotted out your little brain.”

It turns out the answer to his food question was “too long.” He trades her potatoes for carrots, but only after holding her nose closed until he could force peas in her stubborn mouth.

Ridiculous, really.

I was thinking about it the other day; Silver Wolf with a housepartner(?) s/o.

Wolf is, being nice, messy. With you, she genuinely believes you were sent by the Aeons. Her clothes are basically shining, her stomach is full of food she'd never even DREAM of eating, and what do you do?

"Oh, thank you, Wolfie~!"

She feels bad; she swears, if you're even SLIGHTLY proficient at video games, she's going to ride you into the sunset.

Provided, of course, you're probably a service top. Ack!

(I like you *gives you wholesome* /lh)

This is oddly wholesome and cute. I like it.

'Messy' is a very generous way to describe Silverwolf's living conditions. Somehow, every time you head out to buy groceries (Silverwolf says you should just stay in with her and order takeout online, but you insist that it'll give you more ease of mind if you're the one preparing her meals), you'll come back to the place absolutely trashed with clothes and cans of soda littered all over the place. Rather than getting upset, you're honestly just impressed.

She definitely feels bad about always making you clean up her mess, which comes with the fear that you'll get tired of her one day; so she shows her appreciation by being very clingy and cuddly with you whenever her focus isn't on a game. It's honestly a miracle that you've not once gotten angry at Silverwolf, still treating her so kindly and looking down at her with the most gentle and sincere smile no matter the amount of "inconveniences" she's caused you. Quotation marks on "inconveniences" because you can't help but want to take care of Silverwolf and make sure she's happy and healthy.

Still, she doesn't completely understand that. Poor Wolfie isn't exactly used to unconditional love and she can't help getting insecure sometimes. When words fail to make her see how important she is to you, sometimes you have to resort to actions. Actions like fucking her somehow exactly how she wants it. You two are just so in tune, you know what she's in the mood for without asking whether if it's soft, loving sex with you leaving soft kisses wherever you can reach and making her insecurities disappear completely; or rough sex when you stop holding back and fuck her animalistically. Though, one thing that never changes is how considerate and tender you are to her afterward.

This time, however— Silverwolf wanted to try something different. You're always the one who does all the work, whether it be around the house or in bed, so she wants to return the favor. Of course, you were supportive; but with how much you spoiled her in bed, you were a bit worried that she wouldn't be able to take you... And you'd be partially right. She'll be shaking and sighing blissfully with her eyes fluttered close as she lowers herself down on your cock because she's used to always having you on top of her or at least helping her out. Still, she insists that she can take it and make you feel good. She insists on trembling as she bounces on your cock even with her legs shaking and tears in her eyes since you haven't cummed yet.

She's supposed to be the one pleasing you— not the other way around...

I'm trying to write a thing (probably only in my head, let's be realistic) and so I have some thoughts?

Sunshine x Grumpy prompts

(specifically a dommy Sunshine and a subby Grumpy, but read/swap these as you will)

Meetings

- They physically bump into each other in the street. Sunshine is trying to gather up Grumpy's stuff and straighten them out, but Grumpy is just trying to get away from Sunshine's overpowering energy.

-> Then afterwards, Grumpy is the one who keeps thinking about the encounter.

- There are no rooms left in the hotel/inn. Sunshine overhears Grumpy all but begging for any kind of room at all, and offers to share theirs.

- Every day, Grumpy walks past Sunshine dancing in a slightly inconvenient place (like a sidewalk or in front of a coffee shop). Eventually, they start watching Sunshine briefly when they come across them. Then, Sunshine makes direct eye contact and motions for them to dance, too.

-> Grumpy may not dance with them, but maybe Sunshine decides to make it their life's mission to tease out the dance moves in Grumpy's heart.

- Grumpy notices Sunshine gently handling a disliked/misunderstood animal. They instantly wonder if Sunshine would be willing to handle them (disliked and misunderstood as they are) so gently.

- People generally assume Grumpy is cruel/brutish in a fight. But when Sunshine sees them being merciful and diplomatic in the face of conflict, their heart goes all aflutter. They must not let this wonderful person slip through their fingers.

Acquaintances to Friends/Lovers

- They know each other only in passing, and Grumpy assumes Sunshine to be a total ditz. But when a fight between strangers breaks out in a tight space, Sunshine rushes into the fray to break it up. (Maybe the sight of Sunshine being strong and capable does something to Grumpy.)

-> Alternatively, it could be an emergency/crisis that Grumpy or another stranger are having (such as choking on something, a severe allergic reaction, or an illness or injury taking a sudden turn for the worse).

- They work together, and Sunshine has been making their way around the workplace day by day, doing something happy and cheerful and everything for each person. Grumpy is dreading the day it's their turn.

*Relationship Intensifies*

- Sunshine is a terrible cook. Grumpy pulls out the apron and shows them a thing or two.

- Sunshine opens up about their dark past during a quiet moment. It is remarkably (even freakishly) similar to what Grumpy went through.

- Sunshine notices that while Grumpy's actions say, "Do not perceive me," their body language screams, "I need you specifically to hold me."

- Over the past few weeks/months, Sunshine and Grumpy have been spending more and more time together. Right as Grumpy starts to feel comfortable opening up, they realize… Sunshine actually doesn't talk about themself. Practically at all.

After Dark

- Grumpy is too nervous/self-conscious to initiate, even though being with Sunshine is all they've been thinking about for the past ten minutes.

-> Sunshine miraculously notices and treats Grumpy so sweetly that Grumpy almost breaks.

->-> Or they do break, and Sunshine's happy to pick up the pieces afterwards.

- Sunshine's "I'll get a smile out of you yet!" attitude shifting into "You're mine and no one will ever hurt you" when things get hot.

- Grumpy's "I refuse to burden people with my presence" attitude becoming "Please, I need every last piece of you" when things get going.

- Grumpy and Sunshine have to switch roles a little when Sunshine drops after they're together.

Oppenheimer certainly is a movie

So I did see this and to its credit I am giving it some thought afterwards. There is a movie inside this movie that is actually pretty good; however, some Decisions were made that obscure this fact.

It is ultimately a Great Man film, and it stood a chance to do an interesting variation on the Great Man film where the Great Man is also the villain of the film. It actually feints at this in ways that I think are extremely interesting, but undermines it structurally in a way I think is detrimental to the film regardless of my opinions on its subject.

The ending, for example, is where Christopher Nolan just cannot help putting in a clever "oh the irony" moment to leave you wow'ed, but it is so transparently doing this that it makes you look back in annoyance at the previous 3 hours.

This invented conversation between Einstein and Oppenheimer that Nolan had to conceal from us earlier in the film to bring back at the last minute so that the viewer can think, oh wow! Of course that conversation was not what Strauss imagined it was at all, he was as a paranoid narcissist assuming they were talking about him rather than reciting the theme of the film out loud for us! It was all a misunderstanding! How tragic!

But why do that? Other than the wow, what is this accomplishing? What is this investigation/hearing structure that we spend much of the run-time of the film in accomplishing? It gives the film a structure that allows us to jump around in time, but what did we get out of this other than last minute reveals? Why did he make it this way?

Well, this is the way to have a film about J Robert Oppeheimer with a villian who is not J Robert Oppenheimer.

So you have Strauss in that role, and honestly, he is played so magnetically by Robert Downey Jr that it almost works. You basically go with it for 2 hours and 50 minutes or so. Because unlike the protagonist of this film he has agency. He is making decisions. He has convictions that he will explain and demonstrate. He's the character making the film go, more or less.

Oppenheimer does none of those things. He is a passive player in his own story. Which is a Decision in this movie, and a big one. Especially if you look through all the contradictions to actual history.

In this movie Oppenheimer really doesn't wrestle with any moral quandries, he does not make difficult choices. The Manhattan Project is a task he is uniquely suited to, as he is to nothing else, as though he is forged for this and only this purpose. Oppenheimer is less an archer than an arrow loosed at the target of the Trinity Tests and left there quivering ever after. It's an inevitability. He does it because it's what he does, what he was always going to do. As a main character he's not so different from the Tenet protagonist in this way. Just like Tenet, this movie is a clockwork propelling the Great Man where he needs to be.

The film absolves Oppenheimer in this way, treating him as swept along by the forces of history rather than making moral decisions. And hell, maybe that's how it actually happened - humans frequently blunder into moral quagmires without planning to. We avoid thinking about the inconvenient truths and wrestling with cognitive dissonance all the time. On top of that, Oppenheimer himself gets a special dispensation for being a Scientist, with zippy quantum physics imagery flashing in his head all the time. How can we expect him to focus on the real world implications of his fancy science? (Except real world logistics is actually the thing he is accomplished in, as we see in the whole section where he designs the Los Alamos project. He didn't actually discover the principals of the bomb, or design the bomb himself. He's not Einstein. He's not even Niels Bohr. He's a project manager. An extremely good one! But let's ignore that, the movie wants us to think flashy Science Visions when we think of Oppie, so okay.) Anyway, we try with a few briefly shown newspaper covers to assign a motive to the man's drive. His Jewish identity gets some lip service, without much conviction or, y'know, actual onscreen depiction. The Nazis are a distant abstraction, less immediate than the lurking communists at every corner. Watch out for the commies, Oppie! They're the ones actually on his street corner, while Nazis are literally represented as a couple headlines. Obviously none of those things really matter. In the end he builds the bomb because he can, because he can do it faster than anyone else and pretty much instantaneously upon realizing it's possible he is mentally committed to the task. It is his destiny and his terrible duty. It has to be him. He is a homing missile. A bomb.

THAT movie is interesting, actually.

I find that part of the movie weirdly compelling, and if they had leaned into that angle I feel like it could have been a great film? If they had only mentioned a few more similar incidents to the cyanide apple, played out his violent tendencies, and contrasted to a genuine love of science -- and what exactly does he love about it, really? -- where does that get us? How does power use people like that? What does it do with them afterwards?

But most of this movie is not that.

Most of this movie is Oppenheimer being unfairly persecuted for being friends with communists, which is presented as an example of scientist as a naive babe in the woods rather than the savvy political operator he actually was in real life. And if you are not pearl-clutching at the thought of talking to commies, this entire plot thread feels incredibly overblown. It's so much of that three hours, you guys. So much. Oppie can't get his security clearance, Oppie is losing his security clearance, wow that's so unfair, and any sense of urgency of what he actually needs this clearance FOR ten years after the war is really underbaked. And honestly whenever they jettison that theme and cover literally anything else, the film comes back to life again -- the Los Alamos/Trinity section in the middle is gripping, his Girlfriend 1 and Girlfriend 2 show actual signs of life in the brief crumbs of onscreen time they are given -- but it's so vastly outnumbered by the time spent in board rooms and congressional hearings.

The purpose of which? The real thesis of this movie, which is that J Robert Oppenheimer was ultimately too naive to understand that the bomb he was making would be used to bomb somebody.

And the nation, represented by Robert Downey Jr (lol) is happy to discard him afterwards. Like I get that's the theme we're working with here. But the movie is none too interested in looking more closely at the why and the how of that discard; Oppenheimer's actual actions after the war are largely elided, as are Strauss's. No context. Oppenheimer's actual political convictions are murky. That would give him agency, you see, and the movie wants a passive martyr (and uses that word incessantly to boot). So our villian is Strauss, an ambitious and vindictive man, in opposition to our pure scientist Oppenheimer, who spent most of his career in Washington while, somehow, lacking any ambition or political opinions at all.

Really, did we need this movie? Yes, it's nice to have adult films with people talking and not punching. The craft is there. It's well made and well-acted, to varying degrees. I like looking at Cillian Murphy's face, and Nolan leans on that smartly. It's most vital sequence (the trinity test) is very good, and so is the scene where he hallucinates the cheering audience after the Hiroshima bombing melting in a radioactive flash.

But honestly? When your key sequence was mic-dropped by David Lynch six years ago, did we need this? What for? Can we have a real discussion now about Hiroshima and Nagasaki? That's the one real utility of this film and one we really have not seen come to fruition. Imagine a version of this film where that conversation between Einstein and Oppenheimer is not a gotcha but a catalyst for a real, raw and jaw-dropping look at how the world was warped by The Bomb. I guess for that we have to go to someone like David Lynch, and not Christopher Nolan.

[cammys-imagines24]

•Jinx NSFW Alphabet•

A = Aftercare (What they're like after sex) Jinx turns into a giddy, intoxicated mess afterwards. Completely drunk on you and still riding off the high of you two climaxing together. She gets really sloppy, too, leaving lazy, wet kisses all over you, on any bit of your skin that's exposed to her. She'll talk nonsense about her day or her inventions while cozying up like a kitty into your arms. Aftercare to her is just you two being content and blissfully exhausted.

B = Body Part (Favorite body part of theirs and also their partners) You're her pretty trinket. She loves every bit of you and she is not shy in telling you. She frequently calls you her "treat" and that she wants to take a bite out of you. As for her, she likes how misleading her lithe, small form is because she is much stronger than she looks. Doesn't matter if you're bigger and taller than her, she can and will shove you up against the wall, pick you up and have her way with you.

C = Cum (Anything to do with cum... basically I'm a disgusting person) Loves to cum on your face best. She just likes how sexy you look with your chin and lips glistening from her. As for you, she loves to taste you as well. As previously mentioned, she views you as her tasty dessert and she can never get tired of lapping at your wetness.

D = Dirty Secret (Pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs) Jinx would love to give you a tattoo like hers or a tattoo of her name somewhere on your body. She also has to be the one to ink the tattoo on herself. She's big into marking, such as scratch marks, little bruises, bite marks and hickeys so a tattoo permanently placed on your body by her? That's just too delicious a thought for her not to fantasize about.

E = Experience (How experienced are they? Do they know what they're doing?) Not experiencing at all. Honestly, you were probably her first partner. But just because she's inexperienced doesn't mean she's clueless. She knows more about sex than you and is not shy in voicing all of her kinky interests. She has a natural talent with everything sex related.

F = Favorite Position (This goes without saying, will probably include a visual) Any and every position. Jinx loves them all! Any position she can wrangle you and her into is fun for her and she loves to try weird and unique positions. Bonus points if you're flexible but she doesn't mind either way. Though she does have a special preference for doggy style when she's drilling into you with her sparkly blue strap-on.

G = Goofy (Are they more serious in the moment or are they humorous, etc) Very goofy and she always does something silly unexpectedly. Like one minute she'll be playing with your cute pussy and making you scream and grip onto the bedsheets so tight they rip and the next minute she'll be tickling you and blowing raspberries on your tummy. She is very unpredictable by nature and has a dark sense of humor. She can either make you laugh or scream her name.

H = Hair (How well groomed are they, does the carpet match the drapes, etc) Unlike the hair on her head, she keeps below the belt trimmed nice and neat. She has too much hair to want a lot down there, too. As for you, she wants you to do whatever you're comfortable with.

I = Intimacy (How are they during the moment, romantic aspect) Jinx is surprisingly intimate but in more physical ways than vocal ones. Bedroom aside, you know how crows are known to give little gifts to humans they like? That's her. She loves making stuff by hand to give you. Any little inconvenience you have, she will find a way to make an invention to fix it. She also is the most clingy person ever. She will latch onto you like a leech and climb your body like a tree 24/7.

J = Jack off (Masturbation headcanon) Ever since you came into her life she gets horny a lot. And, sometimes you're not around to satisfy her. So, she is not adverse to taking care of business herself. She'll just shove her hand down her pants and get right to it in a no nonsense fashion. She'll squeeze her eyes shut, bite her pouty bottom lip and imagine you while rubbing herself. She'll imagine it's you touching her and she won't hesitate to scream your name when she comes.

K = Kink (How kinky are they?) Super, super kinky and she will try anything once. A filthy dom. Loves to choke you, spank you, overstimulate you, make you beg for her, scream for her and lose your damned mind because of her. Knife play, bondage, dirty talk, will use hot wax (she has a lot of candles lying around after all) toys, strap-ons, vibrators, etc, all to make you feel pleasure to the point of madness.

L = Location (Favorite place to get it on) Will do it anytime, anyplace and on every surface with you if you're willing and up for it. Jinx is very adventurous and just likes to have sex with you everywhere. But she doesn't like anywhere too public or having the worry of someone potentially stumbling upon you two in the heat of the moment. Mainly because if anyone gets a look at your naked body then she's gonna have to put a bullet right between their eyes.

M = Motivation (What turns them on, gets them going) If she sees you wearing an article of her clothing or you let her do your make up or nails, then she's a definite goner. She gets so possessive of you so anything of hers or by her doing that you've got on your body is a major turn on. She also needs constant reassurance of your love so when you tell her how much you love her and how happy she makes you, it gets her so giddy that she'll have to pounce on you.

N = No (Something they wouldn't do, turn offs) As adventurous and frisky as Jinx is in the bedroom, she will never, ever do anything or try anything new without your utmost consent. Also, she is a very jealous partner and has killed people just for paying too much attention to you. So, you think she'd ever allow a threesome? Guess again.

O = Oral (Preferenc in giving and receiving, skill, etc) Loves giving. Will have you sit on her face always and if you try hovering above her or not putting your full weight on her, she'll roughly smack your ass and yank you fully down onto her eager mouth. Once she's made you come she will always spit in your mouth so you can taste yourself, too. Also loves watching you when you're in between her legs. It's a power thing for her. Seeing you so willing to give her pleasure with your pretty mouth. She will yank on your hair and boss you around just because she loves it.

P = Pace (Are they fast and rough? Slow and sensual? Etc) Jinx will never be the sensual type. She's either rough and almost mean (consensually) or it's fast and electrifying. Her goal every time is to make you so dizzy and overstimulated that you see stars.

Q = Quickie (Their opinions on quickies rather than proper sex, how often, etc) Loves quickies! Her favorite is when you visit her in her workshop and she can have her way with you in her chair or on her desk. Tools and hardware pieces digging into your exposed back while she eats you out like no tomorrow. She will bite your inner thighs and tell you how good you taste.

R = Risk (Are they up to experiment, do they take risks, etc) Jinx takes calculated risks and never without you ready and 100% okay with whatever weird idea she's come up with. She's a loose cannon in her daily life so why would sex with her be any different? Your body to her is her own experiment and she loves to try new things just to see your reaction.

S = Stamina (How many rounds can they go, how long do they last?) She's young and has a one track mind personality. She loves you and loves your body. She loves what only she can do to your body so obviously she will spend a long, long time toying with your body. You're her favorite toy, her favorite little trinket to rile up and make a mess out of. You tap out first from sheer exhaustion always. She will not stop until you almost pass out.

T = Toys (Do they own toys? Do they use them? On their partner or on themselves?) She loves toys! Especially when she gets to use them on you. She even makes her own sex devices from scratch and nothing gives her more pleasure than seeing her own invention make you cum. You're kind of like her guinea pig when it comes to her trying out new toys she's made on you. Don't worry, all of them are safe (the only time she actually bothers to make anything secure is when it's gonna be used on you)

U = Unfair (How much do they like to tease) Almost sadistic in her unfairness. Jinx loves to play with you and see what new lengths of blissed out agony she can bring you. She likes you desperate, on your knees, begging for her to give you your release. She likes it when you make it very clear that only she can make you feel this way, only she can make you scream in ecstasy and tear up in the throes of a mind blowing orgasm.

V = Volume (How loud are they, what sounds do they make?) Pretty vocal. If you're making her feel good, then she's gonna let you know about it. Bites her pouty lips all the time as raspy moans slip out. Screams your name when your head is in between her legs and always chuckles wickedly when she's got you submissive beneath her. As for you, your voice goes hoarse pretty much every night, so yeah, she will make you as vocal as possible, even when you try to pitifully stifle your moans.

W = Wild Card (Something unexpected) Not even unexpected, tbh. Absolutely loves to have you hooked up to a remote controlled vibrator all day. Upping the stimulation at the most random of times so that you're always caught off guard. Bonus points for the times when you legit fall to your knees from her turning it to max so suddenly and crying out her name. She's a little fiend who shouldn't hold that much power ever but she loves it to death.

X = X-Ray (Let's see what's going on in their pants)

Y = Yearning (How high is their sex drive) Because of her episodes and the voices in her head and her depressive tendencies, she craves you so, so much. When she's with you the nagging, buzzing words fade away and she can just focus on you. She's incredibly clingy and needs to have you around at all times. Needs your body.

Z = Zzz's (How quickly do they fall asleep afterwards?) Jinx doesn't get much sleep as it is. Chances are after a fun, exhilarating night she'll be too buzzed to go right to sleep. You two will probably just chat and cuddle til you can barely keep your eyes open. Once you're asleep she'll stay and hold you in her lean arms for awhile before sheer exhaustion finally takes her as well or she'll reluctantly leave your side to fiddle with some weapons she's working on.

[mazeinthemiroh]

I see your request is open and I'm excited to make one ❤️😭 can I request how ateez would react on trying period cramp simulator?? Like their s/o brought them the device and forces them to have a taste of how it feels to be at the verge of dying every once a month 🤧

ateez reactions to a period cramp simulator

genre: full crack, lmao

word count: 0.7k

warnings: mentions of a pain kink, cursing

authors notes: lowercase intentional. thank you so much for requesting, honestly you made my day this was such a good idea of yours! i really enjoyed writing this, the thought of it is so freaking funny to me idk why 😭 anyways i really hope you enjoy reading this as much as i enjoyed writing it!

hongjoong

i can just imagine his face dropping when you tell him what that device in your hand was for. you can see his fear building in his eyes. he would throw some excuse at you like "oh yeah for sure i will do that but uhh maybe another time? i'm too busy atm baby" or "nah i'm tired rn, but it sounds like a great idea don't get me wrong *eye twitch*" obviously you don't give his excuses the time of day, walking over and pulling his shirt up, telling him "well my period comes at inconvenient times too. when nature calls you'll just have to deal with it-" "YEAH BUT IT ISN'T NATURAL FOR ME??"

seonghwa

he thinks you're joking at first ngl. he lets out a soft little chuckle at your idea, but when he sees you're actually serious all laughing stops. will hold your hand and squeeze it extremely hard like its a birth simulator instead of a period one because he is ✨STRUGGLING.✨ afterwards he will probably be like "babe, i had no idea this was so painful 🥺🥺🥺" and proceed to buy you mountains of chocolates, flowers, sanitary products, everything. he's so supportive <3

yunho

baby asks what he has done wrong 😭😭 like, what has he done to deserve this?? but you have to reassure him like "noooo, you didn't do anything wrong i was just curious and wanted to try it." he's giving you the biggest, most adorable puppy eyes he could ever muster but he eventually lets you have your little experiment. and regretfully so. i feel like yunho has pretty good pain tolerance but still, he has never had this amount of pain in that specific area so he's amazed

yeosang

"no" "yes" "no" "yes" "i'm not doing that" "yes you are". it will take a lot of bickering before yeosang gives into you, rolling his eyes when you sort out the device on him. you start on the lowest setting but because he was arguing with you before you turn the pain level up, and up, and up. "yeah its not that ba- ah!" he winces as it gets worse and worse. "there is no way you go through this every month??"

san

gets all pouty and starts whining when you put the device on him. "y/nnnn ahh have a not been a sweet boyfriend to you? treated you right? why must i suffer????" when you finally turn on the simulator, at first he's like "...oh... yk what i think i can do this actuall- LORD HELP ME" you'd think those rock hard abs of his could withstand the pain but man is trying to fight back tears over here-

mingi

mingi thinks he is going to die. his pain tolerance is not that best so this simulator thing is pretty unbearable for him. at some point you gotta take pity on the guy and low the pain because you can see in his eyes that he's hurting so much <///3 after this littel experiment is over, he is panting and glaring at you. "right, no cuddles for you for the rest of the week!" this little protests literally lasts an hour, tops

wooyoung

"so what you're saying is that you have a pain kink" "wha- wooyoung!" "why else do you want me to do this?" he laughs his obnoxious hyena laugh ily wooyoung and he's obviously teasing you and turning it into a joke but there's no deny the trace of hesitance in his eyes. anyways long story short, you have to tackle and restrain him to put the device on. you don't know if he's being his super dramatic self or if he is in actual pain but he is not having a good time, nope. he's definitely gonna get you back for this one.

jongho

would probably laugh and shrug. he likes a good challenge and i feel like he has good pain tolerance too?? so he's like "sure, why not ig?" but as the cramps start to increase in frequency and pain, in his mind he starts to regret his decision. his face is blank for most of the time because you're just staring at him waiting to see his reaction. he sorta purses his lips and mutters "are we done yet?" and you smile and shrug "nah we still got the highest setting to go." oh shit.

How about the main three with a short but feisty male s/o?

Like they are chill most of the time but the minute you make fun of their height or someone they like they are basically like this kid in the video.

https://youtube.com/shorts/y3AQ8hCFs5E?feature=share

Thank you for your time doing these by the way. ❤️

It's fine! Writing is quite fun and it gives me something to do during a day.

Male! Reader, fluff

Sukuna made the mistake of telling making fun of you since you were short.

It didn't go well. He's lucky that he’s technically part of Itadori or else a bitch would have been throwing hands with the king of curses with varying results.

Mf got yelled at but you stopped fairly quickly since you were also technically yelling at Yuji too.

Afterward, Itadori attempted to calm you down by reassuring you that he knew it wasn't directed at him.

Sometimes Itadori will compare his height with yours to see if you have grown while receiving a thoroughly disappointed look from you.

The insistence that you can reach the top shelf despite struggling so much is adorable.

Sometimes forgets how much rage you can hold in such a small body. He's always surprised whenever you just get annoyed and brute force your way through a situation after trying one too many times.

Watching you go off on someone when they insult/hurt him is concerning you just dive in a think about the consequences later.

You lowkey scare him and Sukuna makes fun of him for it

┉ˏ͛ ༝̩̩̥͙ ⑅͚˚　　 ҉　　⑅͚˚ ͛༝̩̩̥͙ ˎ┉

He doesn’t treat you much differently as opposed to having a taller boyfriend. Mainly just the more prominent need to protect you due to your smaller stature, even though he knows you can defend yourself perfectly fine.

That being said, whenever somebody makes fun of you for being short he can't help but think “ah shit, here we go again...”

Oh God, I'm just imagining if his boyfriend found out about the Todo incident.

Todo would get his ass beat so fast...

He sometimes forgets how *short* you are and then the divine dogs stand up on their two back feet, they reach over your head and he's just standing there like, 🧍

Probably the only one that actually complements you on your height because one on hand it's an inconvenience in many ways but you can also do things taller people can't.

Like, get things off the bottom shelf without too much of an issue.

Similar to Itadori he’ll occasionally forget how angry you can get but it doesn't surprise him as much

┉ˏ͛ ༝̩̩̥͙ ⑅͚˚　　 ҉　　⑅͚˚ ͛༝̩̩̥͙ ˎ┉

Omg, y'all are twinning!

She's 5’3 and wants to fight a god

And you're... short and also wish to fist fight God.

She loves resting her chin on your shoulder and hugging you from behind. It's one of her favorite ways to hug you especially if you want to show her something.

If you're are shorter than her she’ll make you reach to kiss her.

She cheers you on if you are about to flip your shit on someone. Unless they are important, aka. Faculty, a high-ranking sorcerer/curse, etc.

She introduces you as her “cute little boyfriend”

You two are too powerful

Doesn't forget your tendency to flip your shit and she loves it! As long as it isn't directed at her or any of her friends she's having the time of her life.

She'll calm you down if you go a bit overboard or are about to, otherwise it's fair game. Just don't hurt yourself, please.

[sagau-my-beloved]

Do you think Venti would like the food from the real world? I think he’d get sick with fast food or something like that but if reader cooks for him he’d eat it. He’d eat anything that reader makes

Headcanons about sagau Venti with reader in the real world (food edition):

Honestly, that's such an interesting idea, I do think that there's a lot of overlaps with the food in his world and our world, so it doesn't take a whole lot of adjusting, but that being said-

Warnings: general Sagau, like literally nothing else

-

• Is kind of confused when he first gets to you and your fridge isn't just like brimming with ingredients and meals

• You tell him that you typically either get takeout or cook small meals for yourself to get by

• Since takeout itself does exist in different regions around Teyvat, he's more or less familiar with the concept

• But none of that prepares him for what you actually meant

• Is mildly horrified over how food is preserved, prepared, and just the overall lack of health in it all

• Like you don't really know where your food comes from, or what ingredients were put in to it, or where those ingredients come from—

• He could absolutely never eat fast food and feel well after, the first time he stayed in bed for like the entire day and complained to you constantly over how bad he felt

• You did feel bad about it, obviously his body just wasn't used to that kind of stuff

• Pretty much swore off eating anything that came wrapped in plastic, it just wasn't worth it

• All that strengthened your resolve to try cooking more, going out of your way to use more organic ingredients and actually put effort into making a healthier meal

• Now, he would eat anything you made, it really didn't matter what it was, what it was made of, how good or bad it tasted

• If it tasted absolutely horrible, he would just smile at you and thank you profusely for going out of your way

• If it made him feel bad afterward you wouldn't hear a single word about it

• Is really just very very appreciative when you attempt to make things more to his taste, he hates how much of an inconvenience he's being (but also secretly deeply enjoys the fact that you like him enough to go out of your way for him)

• He also takes up cooking himself, he's got all that time alone while you're off at work or taking classes perhaps

• You're gonna have to show him the basics on how to actually work a stove, all of it really does amaze him

• But before you know it, you're coming home almost every day to something made

• He is very quick to learn your preferences, mentally notes every critique or passing comment you've ever made

• If the food that you make is decent, or at the very least not absolutely terrible, the cooking responsibilities are split roughly 75℅ to 25℅ and you might have a playful argument over who's cooking that night

• "No way. I deeply apologize my muse, but I'm afraid your just going to have to let me treat you tonight." He says with a playful wink, one you can't help but smile at.

• Otherwise it'll probably be closer to 95℅ and 5℅, and as usual, he's absolutely happy to pick up the slack

• Also really loves cooking with you, showing off interesting techniques that he learned from his years of experience, you showing him weird cooking tricks that he never would have thought of

• Occasionally is sad over the lack of certain ingredients that either don't exist or aren't commonly used in your world

• Contributes a bit to his homesickness

• He has a few of his favorite recipes from Mondstadt memorized, and if you try to make them for him he might actually just die

• He just loves you so so much, and you're going out of your way when you already have so much that you have to do, and he wants to be the one that does everything for you!

• Every time you mention you had to get take out or fast food for lunch because of your tight schedule he internally panics

• What if it made you feel bad like him? Even if it doesn't you shouldn't be eating that stuff anyway

• Will actually start packing you lunch if it seems like you aren't doing it for yourself

• Also always leaves really cute notes

• Your co-workers and/or peers are now constantly hounding you about having a secret boyfriend that you haven't told them about

• I touched on this in my last set of headcanons, but he also really likes cooking breakfast since he's often the first one awake (Teyvat fried egg for the win)

• He does like going to slightly nicer restaurants where the ingredients are of a higher quality sometimes too

• The atmosphere was always a bit stifling and it could get rather expensive, but the food was good

• That was reserved for special occasions, he'd much rather have your food than some strangers anyway

• Since there aren't really a whole lot of dessert dishes in the Mondstadt region, he's absolutely amazed by the amount your world has

• But as a result of that lack of tolerance, he's also way more sensitive to sweet tasting things and a lot of things taste too sweet to him

• I headcanon that he's absolutely the type to scrape frosting off cake because of how unbearably sweet it is

• The first time he had ice-cream, his eyes practically sparkled

• Also, it's a personal opinion of mine that he would really like tiramisu because of the balance between sweet and bitter

• But that is also a very dangerous thing

• He has enough energy to run you into circles as it is, mix that with a sweet dessert that is soaked in coffee and you have yourself a recipe for complete chaos

• His first sugar crash is also pretty amusing, goes from living at three times the normal human speed to asleep in less than five minutes

• Wakes up more lethargic than you have ever seen him, along with a headache, and he swears he will never do it again (a total lie)

• It's all a learning experience like a lot of other things, he'll happily take the highs and lows, as long as it's with you

The Inconveniences of Resurrection

- - - 2/? Chapters Posted Part 3 of 'Breaking Point' - - - TW: Past Character Death, Blood, Gore, (Others to be added with updates) - - -

The first few weeks of traveling together are a learning curb, to say the least.

Its not necessarily bad, just... complicated. A group of heroes with strong personalities is bound to clash when their forced to live with eachother for the next however long. People make friends and bonds, and some people start to work wonderfully in moments. Some people clash, arguing over leadership, tactics, the lot of it.

Legend finds himself on the more, argumentative sides of things. He finds himself butting heads with Warriors most often. The captain is too commanding for his taste, treating them more like soldiers than equals or even acquaintances. So Legend pushes back, and perhaps he's a bit of an asshole, but its all a learning curb. Warriors lets his commanding nature slip, and Legend stops picking fights at every tiny thing he says.

The first month or so is like a puzzle, trying to find where everyone falls and fits without bumping elbows and stepping on each others feet. Its not a pretty dance, and Warriors is far from the only person he's had fights with, but learning to adapt is a necessary skill in a heroes arsenal. And he does, he compromises and works together, so as those first weeks are coming to a close, he finds himself much more comfortable in the dynamic the Chain has made for themselves.

Thats not to say there aren't still things to learn after the first few rocky weeks. There's plenty more bumps and bruises afterwards. Like the first night Wild spent on the ground. Thats something he won't be forgetting any time soon.

- - -

When they first stumbled through a portal into Wilds era and met him, Legend had clocked him as... odd. The champion had plenty of weird mannerisms, refusing to sleep on the ground, offering everyone bananas, a knack for setting things on fire 'accidentally', but nothing was that out of the ordinary. At least, nothing out of the ordinary when you're using a group of heroes as your baseline.

Wild hasn't really done anything to earn himself distrust, but Legend can't help the few steps to the side he takes every time the Champions around. He makes something in Legends chest twist, and its made worse by the way no one else sees it. The rest of the Chain interacts with Wild nicely, even delightedly in some cases. Even Hyrule, who's known for being skittish, doesn't seem bothered by their new addition. So Legend keeps his mouth shut.

That doesn't mean he's not curious though. He spends a lot of downtime staring and studying Wild, probably too much. The Champion catches him sometimes and shifts uncomfortably, and Legend shoves his nose into the book he's been pretending to be reading for the past twenty minutes. They never talk about it.

Todays one of those days. They're walking another old dusty path, headed some place he doesn't know or care for. So the vet spends his time at the back of the group, staring at the back of Wilds head.

hi mai, how're you doing? i hope you can be a bit happier the rest of the week! sending hugs and coffee.

*sigh* this man consumes my every waking thought

anyways

how do you think dazai would feel about:

having an s/o who's a little more reserved/introverted, she's responsible and thinks a lot before she speaks, that kind of thing. a sweet personality, self aware, y'know.

! nsfw warning ! but then in bed she does a complete 180. reactive to the littlest things, cannot control her volume to save her life. gets kinda embarrassed about it afterward at how loud she was being/how little self control she had.

hi nonnie !! i hope ur week is treating u kindly !! pretending we’re drinking coffee together gossiping over dazai rn ( ᵕ ᵕ)☕️☕️(- - ) <33

hes so obsessed w u omg. hes in love w the juxtaposition of ur personality & how only he gets to see the other side of u. i think dazai loves feeling needed & how can he not feel that way when ur already a complete mess & he hasnt even gotten to the good part yet !! he might tease u a little afterwards but only bc hes sooo cocky over how receptive u are. i think once he figures u out, he tries to get u to break ur little facade at the most inconvenient times :< like sneaking into the closet at work knowing u wont be able to stay quiet hehe

The chronic pain guns deserve a real gentle master. How would they handle a master who fucks them but makes sure they’re as painless as possible? They may be getting used but there’s pillows under their joints and plenty of prep and more painkillers and numbing cream than they could hope for, and it makes the pleasure their master is making sure to give them even better. With Mikhael, love1, F and Springfield

Since you said "used", I'm writing this with the idea that it's... mostly consensual? The boys are attached to Master, but not to the point where they would have asked for this on their own.

. . .

Mikhael

Every time you try to do this, Mikhael can't help but be tense. He's afraid of what's going to happen to him no matter how many times you treat him kindly, and the pillow keeping his bad knee at a comfortable angle is a small mercy. The worst part is that it feels good. He doesn't want to like it as much as he does, but being treated so softly, so carefully, and reaching that empty-headed state of post-orgasm bliss every time is more of a relief than Mikhael wants to think about. It's hard to believe that this kind of touch could actually be pleasant, and yet, with you...

Love1

He's not expecting anything good from this, when you start. Love1 knows his body is broken to the point where any rough handling is going to be a problem... but then, you're just careful. Gentle. Always making sure to find positions that don't leave his body aching afterward, and going so slowly that there's no chance to tense up and make himself hurt. That's how Love1 finds out that he has much more of a libido than he expected. Now that this is an option, it's hard to ignore how badly he wants it to happen again, if only so he can feel something good, for once.

F

The fact that you're so careful with him makes F very, very uncomfortable. Sex is supposed to be painful, miserable, and forced onto his body until it responds all on its own. It's not supposed to involve numbing cream to dull the pain from his scars, feather-light touches, and pills that make everything hurt so much less. The utter lack of the sensations he's used to makes it difficult for him to finish... though that just means you'll have to dote on him even more to make sure he comes. Highly disturbed by how gentle you're being, it's hard for F to keep up the mask.

Springfield

From the start, Springfield is more worried about his fragile body being an inconvenience to you than anything. The few times people did this before, he ended up much too damaged for it to happen again. He doesn't want to disappoint you or make himself even more useless, and that anxiety is obvious. Being treated so carefully doesn't feel right either, though. He doesn't deserve it at all— and that leads to plenty of tears and whimpered gratitude. Even if he's still scared, you're being so very kind to him.

I'm just kind of dreading this hysterectomy. Which I know is usually standard for surgeries but it's not really the surgery itself. I mean, I'm really dreading the pain afterwards, of course because I know people who have had it and it's apparently agony. But it's just that I don't really care about what this surgery is doing all that much.

I know for a fact the abnormal uterine bleeding is another symptom of the same thing that causes my fatigue, not the cause. Which just means getting rid of it makes the real issue that much harder to get treated. I'm not even bothered by the bleeding that much. It's a mild inconvenience amid a bunch of life destroying debilitations that this surgery is more likely to make worse than improve.

And I really think if I was just on levothyroxine again, the abnormal bleeding would go away. Because that's what happened last time I started on levothyroxine. Now the effects of any treatment are going to be less apparent and the only symptom anyone cared enough to do anything about will go away and the rest will all be invisible, for the most part.

I know it's good to get this surgery because it means I won't be able to get cervical cancer. But without being sexually active and never planning to become so, the chances of me getting that was next to nothing anyway.

It just feels like so many possible complications and weeks and weeks of painful recovery for a surgery I wouldn't need if I just got back on the medicine I've been begging to be put back on.

And I know there's so many people who would kill to be able to get this surgery but it just feels like so much suffering for a reward I don't even care about.

I don't think I really *need* this surgery. I'm just getting it because I want it. But I don't even really want it. So why am I getting it? Just because I don't *not* want it? I'm sure I'll come around to it once I don't have to deal with my period anymore. But it just feels so pointless.

I finally realised why I don’t really like Orion Pax/Optimus Prime from the Aligned Continuity: He’s basically an earlier version of Rose Quartz/Pink Diamond from Steven Universe.

Both were very privileged people who came to spearhead and take over a rebellion, while having little to no idea what they were talking about.

Compared to the people they’d come to lead, they were born into extremely favorable circumstances, with the worst they could say about their old lives being that they were restrictive, even a tad stifling.

And not to downplay that, but both Orion and Pink clearly thought the inconveniences they “suffered” put them on the same level as the lower classes. And they’re both wrong.

Not being allowed to visit an amusement park is not the same as having to fear for your existence every day. Not being allowed to run a colony of your own isn’t the same as living your life in slavery.

Not being given complete freedom in your well-paid job is not on the same level as having to fight for your life in arenas, so rich people can be less bored. Having strict parents doesn’t mean you get what it’s like to be constantly dehumanized and threatened with death, or a fate worse than death, if you step out of line even once.

And when both of them were confronted with the fact that their fellow revolutionaries were done with asking nicely for rights from oppressors who didn’t respect them, they went back on their word and took the oppressors’ side.

Orion became a Prime and went against Megatron, basically upholding and tacitly supporting the same caste system he claimed to be against. Afterward he dismissed Megatron and the Decepticons as “evil” and refused to ever acknowledge his own less than glorious role in how the war escalated.

Rose Quartz poofed and bubbled Bismuth, when Bismuth proposed taking the war to Homeworld and ending the Diamond Authority with the Breaking Point, ultimately cementing that she cared more about the Diamonds than the gems who suffered under their rule.

Orion’s and Pink’s stories ultimately reveal them as too comfortable in the status quo to truly want to change it.

Of course Pink chose the Diamonds’s safety over the Crystal Gems’ freedom. She was one of them. Her personal bias was stronger than her empathy toward the suffering of the people.

Of course Orion went back to serving the High Council like a good boy. He was one of the people they treated well, and so it was easier to deny their evil and decry Megatron and the Decepticons as violent extremists who just went too far.

@gracelesslady23 you sent me this ask a while ago and I was just about to reply but Tumblr glitched and the whole ask disappeared! Anyway, I had saved it elsewhere so no harm done.

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love! ❤️

Thanks for the ask! Sorry it’s taken so long to reply! I wanted to finish some WIPs first so I could talk about them. 😊 These are in no particular order.

Practice makes perfect

I could not stop laughing when writing this. I wanted to make it a story where James and Sirius are awkward and silly and blunt and don’t really know what they are doing half the time (well Sirius has a bit of a better grasp of it 🤭), but the hormones and absolute terror and magnitude of having a crush on your best friend is so overpowering that someone has to make the first move eventually. Also, it’s ok to make mistakes like accidentally do a test run on your crush’s baby brother before winning the actual prize. Yeah, it’s a thin plot but it got me over writer’s block and made me smile so much. Prongsfoot bj’s is always a treat to write. They can’t help wanting each other.

Enchanted

My original inspiration for this story was Enchanted by Taylor Swift. I couldn’t let go of the lyrics ”Please don’t be in love with someone else. Please don’t have somebody waiting on you.” Then I saw the T. Swift music video for Bejeweled where they have Enchanted playing at the beginning. The video has a Cinderella theme, hence the AU for this story. I also watched the Cinderella movie for some more inspiration. I’d been thinking about a fairytale Prongsfoot story anyway and this just worked. I really wanted to make Sirius a prince, and it was so interesting giving James a different background and trying to think how that would change his character. I also wanted to make it as romantic as possible. The amount of fluff almost made me uncomfortable but I needed to test my limits. There’s some spice in there too because…this is Prongsfoot. They get like that about each other. 😄

A lesson in love

I knew I wanted to write an Amortentia fic but I had no idea how to go about it. At first it seems like a fun trope but essentially presents the whole dubcon issue which I didn’t want to be a thing in this story. Then I thought, what if they react differently to the potion because they are Animagi? So, I went with that thought. I loved writing this and creating all the pining and tension between them. <3

Specialised in you

It started as a funny thought of James being so sure he’s straight that wanting to have sex with Sirius was nothing but a little bit inconvenient in the grand scheme of things, and that could be dealt with Polyjuice potion and in a totally ”straight” way. That was going to be that. A silly, funny, smutty story. 11k words later I had a whole wartime Prongsfoot hurt/comfort fic in my hands. I don’t know what happened. (I do know what happened. James Potter happened.) Writing this was so much fun but also sad and everything in between. I didn’t think I’d be writing actual duelling and stuff but there we are.

Payback

Sometimes you just have to write shameless Prongsfoot smut. Basically this story exists because I needed an outlet for my Eurovision frustration. I felt a little better after getting it out of my system. James and Sirius also felt much better afterwards. I like their whole revenge mood.
