The Stranger - Pt. 3

Part One  |  Part Two

Pairing: Namor x Reader

Word Count: 5.5k

Warnings: Language, Violence, Depictions of drowning, Fluff

Summary: Delivered to safety following the battle on the beach, you are left reeling as you grapple with nightmares and questions about an uncertain future. But as you come to know more about the Talokanil people and grow closer to their king, Namor is faced with a question of his own -- what does he do with this stranger from the surface?

A/N: It’s heeeeeere!! As always, thank you so much for your patience, for being here, and for reading! And a BIG thank you just for taking the time to engage with and be a part of this story. You all have been so encouraging to me as new writer, and I love being able to create something around characters that so many hold so dear. Comments and reblogs make my heart happy, so please show some love, share the joy, and be kind!

***I do not give permission to copy, plagiarize, or repost my work as your own in any form!

Bullets fly as bodies hit the ground in front of you. There on the open beach, spears soar high above your head. Your gaze is drawn to the heavens as a chopper falls from the night sky. It crashes onto the shore below, an intense heat flashing against you as you shield your face from the explosion.

Suddenly, the sounds of dying men and burning metal fade as you lower your hand. You look down to find yourself waist-deep in a raging sea, the battle on the sand becoming a distant memory as waves beat harshly against you, unrelenting and unforgiving. A deafening melody accompanies each swell of the tide. It consumes your mind with pain and serenity as you are pulled further out into the ocean’s depths, following its call. The chorus grows louder as the water rises to your chest, building with intensity. Then, suddenly, all is quiet.

And there he is.

Hovering just above the water’s surface, his winged ankles carry him effortlessly. His reflection glistens perfectly against the water, now calm and smooth as glass. Illuminated by the full moon behind him, his body is covered in beautiful armor made of gold, jade, and other metals. A finely crafted serpent headpiece with bright feathers crowns his head, resting just above his brow.

Namor.

Wordlessly, Namor stretches out his hand, beckoning you to come to him. You reach out as if your very being is at his command. But, before you can grasp hold of him, the chorus of voices returns with a vengeance. A violent tide drags you under, swallowing you beneath the waves. Further and further down you are pulled as darkness surrounds you. Looking up toward the fading light, Namor’s silhouette above the surface dissolves from view. Your lungs burn as you begin to drown.

You jolt awake, your body shooting up in a cold sweat.

Chest heaving, your mind desperately claws its way back to reality. You quickly scan your surroundings, clinging to any detail that will anchor your consciousness and keep you from slipping back into that nightmare.

Gripping the stone surface beneath you, you take in every porous curve your fingertips graze over. Looking upward at the high rocky ceiling, you study the patterns of limestone stalactites that hang like icicles. Droplets of water run down a few of them, their melodious drips echoing in small pools below, falling like a gentle, rhythmic rain.

This is the place Namor had spoken of the last time you saw him. The one where he promised you would be safe. And for good reason — here in this cavern, you were well below the ocean’s surface and out of range of any agents who might come searching for you.

By your best guess, you figure you have been down here about two days. It’s hard to be sure without the reference to natural light. The cavern itself is beautiful, though. Illuminated by pockets of glow worms that drape down from the ceiling, their soft luminescence casts gorgeous green and blue hues across each surface their light touches.

As your heart rate begins to even out, you continue to survey the cave. You look over at your belongings, bag laying on the ground, clothes hanging on a line to dry. Your heart drops a bit when you see your little leather-bound book, its pages separated and spread out across the rocks. Ink bleeding. Pages ruined. You had made your best attempt to salvage what you could. Perhaps if you had asked Namora how the two of you would be traveling to this safe haven, you wouldn’t have brought a damn book with you.

The dissonance of the Talokan melody still rings in the back of your mind. You cradle your head between your knees, rubbing your temples with your thumbs when you hear light footsteps approach.

Looking up, you find a familiar face entering the cavern. No longer geared up for battle, Namora dawns a lovely dress that gathers over one shoulder and flows down to the floor. It moves like waves with each step she takes toward you. Instead of a spear in her hand, she now carries a small tray with a medley of food.

“Eat," Namora says, placing the tray on a small end table beside you. She then moves gracefully over to your draped belongings, removing them one by one from the line and folding them into a neat pile.

“Can I ask you a question?” You inquire as you begin to nibble on a piece of food.

Namora shoots a skeptical look over her shoulder but says nothing, so you ask anyway.

“Have you always been a warrior?”

Unresponsive, she keeps her attention on one of your shirts which she has just pulled from the line, tucking it into itself and placing it with the others.

“It's just, I mean the way you fought those agents on the beach, you are — you are very good at, you know—” you should have given more thought to what you were going to say before opening your mouth because as you reach the end of your sentence all that comes out is, “—killing people."

Nice.

You cringe at your comment. It hangs in the air, practically mocking you.

“I’m just saying," you add, trying to recover, "you obviously know what you’re doing. It was impressive. Me on the other hand…” Your voice trails as you raise your bandaged hand, recalling how your first instinct in a fight was to block a fucking knife with your open palm. Next to Namora, your combat skills pale by comparison.

Halting her task, Namora finally turns to face you in one calculated motion. She stares for a moment then her eyes quickly dart toward the side entrance of the cavern where she had come through only minutes ago. The entryway is empty. When her eyes settle back on you, there is resolve in them.

“Up.” She says, walking toward you with purpose.

“What?” You reply in a tone that matches the confused look on your face.

“Up.”

You do as you are told, hastily pushing yourself to your feet. Namora steps in close and then taps your elbows.

“Up.” She orders a third time, only now she seems to be referring specifically to your arms. You follow her instruction, raising them awkwardly out in front of your body. You can almost hear the sigh of hopelessness when Namora, her brow furrowed, grabs your arms and positions each one in a fighting stance. Slipping a hand up to your left wrist, she grips it firmly while tapping your exposed forearm with the palm of her other hand.

“Shield.” She says with emphasis. Her eyebrows raise, looking for any indication that you comprehend what she is trying to explain. When you nod, Namora moves her hand from your wrist up to your fingers, balling them into a fist and tucking your thumb on the outside.

“Weapon.”

Namora then steps back from you, putting her own arms up to mirror your stance.

“Shield, weapon,” she repeats, patting her forearm and waving her closed fist.

“Shield, weapon,” you echo back to her, nodding your head again as you begin to understand more fully.

Just as she begins to step back toward you, a deep voice calls from behind.

“Namora.”

You both look up to see the large man who wears the hammerhead skull standing in the entry of the cavern. Attuma is his name, as you have come to learn. Namora straightens her posture as she turns to face him, her hands behind her back as she squares her shoulders in a commanding stance.

Attuma saunters a few more feet into the cavern, then speaks to her in their native tongue, a language still unfamiliar to you. The two of them converse back and forth for a few moments. You may not know what they are saying, but you can tell they disagree about something — whether with each other or someone else, you are not sure.

Namora swiftly turns back to you, her face serious again and her brows pinched together.

Fighting lessons must be over.

“Come,” she says.

Without any further instruction, she pivots back toward Attuma, who also turns to leave. You quickly grab your belongings which Namora had folded for you, stuffing them into your bag. You sling it around your shoulder as you exit the cavern.

Following the two generals into a tunneled hallway, you find yourself moving through a network of caves, each tunnel connecting to a series of other openings and pools. Soon, Attuma splits off into one of these open caverns, nodding to Namora as he does so. Your eyes trail him as he joins with more Talokan warriors, and just as you stare at them, they stare at you.

You continue walking behind Namora past them, their whispers reverberating through the tunnels.

“When was the last time someone… not Talokanil came here?” You ask. In typical Namora fashion, she remains silent and unresponsive to your question.

“Sorry,” you say apologetically, “back there it just seemed like they hadn’t seen someone new in a while.”

The two of you walk, furthering yourself from the turnoff where Attuma parted ways. Cautiously, you step around the uneven surfaces of the rocky ground. You can feel yourself being led deeper into the maze of caverns. If Namora decided to up and ditch you right now, you are certain you would be lost in this labyrinth forever.

“You are the first,” Namora says rather abruptly, catching you off guard. Not only does her response come well after your question was asked, but it is also the most she has ever said to you at one given time.

“The first?” You ask, perplexed. “What do you mean?”

“To come here,” Namora answers. “The first surface dweller to receive Talokan’s aid. The first the king has ever…” she pauses a moment, searching for the right word, “tolerated.”

The influx of her voice is not lost on you.

“And you don’t approve?”

“It is not my place to approve, " Namora clarifies as she leads you around a bend and past several open pools of water. "I am… concerned. When it comes to you, I fear he is blind.”

Silence befalls you both again as you enter another cavern, this one much larger and more spacious than any others you have seen. Within it are several large pools, glistening with light reflected from more glow worms above. Their tendrils hang from the high vaulted ceiling like sparkling chandeliers.

In the center of it all stands a large hut enclosed by beautifully woven fabrics. You follow Namora shoulder to shoulder up the stone-carved steps to it until you nearly reach the side.

“We’re here,” Namora says, coming to a dead stop. She then takes a step back from you.

Still unsure of where “here” is exactly, you glance over your shoulder, looking to her for further instruction or explanation. But Namora gives you nothing. The moment you begin to take a step backward as well, her hand shoots out, holding the back of your shoulder in position with a firm grip.

Ah. Don't move. Got it.

Subconsciously you begin to hold your breath, bracing yourself for the unknown.

Then, there he is.

From around the corner of the hut comes Namor. Immediately you are taken aback by his appearance. Up to this point, you have only seen him suited for battle. Now he stands before you dawning a beautifully woven cape plated with gold and draped across his broad shoulders. His hair is slicked back and his arms are adorned with various metal cuffs. Truly a wardrobe fit for a king.

A single nod of his head and Namora is dismissed. You hear her small footsteps fade as she leaves the two of you alone.

“How is your hand?”

Namor’s question snaps you out of your daze.

“Oh,” you raise your hand, glancing at the worn bandage. "It’s fine, thank you.”

Staring at the gauze, you can almost hear the lullaby Namor hummed as he gently tended to your wounded palm the night of the battle. Something flutters inside you as you touch the corner of the fabric. Realizing your mind has drifted again, you bring yourself back to reality by following up with your own question.

"Are we in..." you stop to rephrase, shifting your weight from side to side as you look around the cavern, “Is this… Talokan?"

If it is, it's very different from what you pictured.

Your question brings a smile to Namor’s face.

"No," he answers with a breathy chuckle, shaking his head. "Talokan is far beyond this place. I assure you, your body would not survive the journey to its depths. But these caverns are safe, I promise you.”

Namor then shifts the topic of conversation.

“I am told some of your belongings were ruined on your traveling here, including your book. I apologize. I had hoped to make up for it.”

With one arm, Namor ushers you around the corner to the entrance of his quarters, inviting you inside.

Intrigued and eager to see what awaits, you accept his invitation. As you enter, you find yourself in a study of sorts. Lit by several lanterns, the room is warm and bright. Within it sits a small table, a prominent desk full of scrolls and artifacts, and a cozy hammock hung in the corner. But what catches your eye most of all are the walls.

All around you hang gorgeous tapestry walls with breathtaking murals that stretch from floor to ceiling.

“Did you do all of these?” You ask in disbelief as you move to one at the far end of the room. Your eyes widen as you gaze in admiration at the beautiful artistry.

“Yes,” Namor answers humbly, following behind you. “I think you will find a more accurate depiction of my history here.”

“I don’t know,” you say with playful skepticism in your voice as you inspect the artwork closer, “always be weary of your authors, right?” You smirk as you shift your glance sideways to Namor, echoing his words back to him in jest. His face is serious at first but quickly turns to amusement.

“You remembered,” he says nodding his head, an impressed grin now stretching at the corners of his mouth, “that is good.”

You return your attention to the paintings. What a gift it is to be standing here in front of them. Full of stories, full of history. And to be accompanied by the man who created them himself — who lived them himself. It is all a far cry from the vague glyphs you tried so hard to decipher in your book.

"They're amazing." You say in awe, following along the panels as you trace the line work delicately with your fingertip.

Immersed in the murals, you are too busy to notice Namor's softening gaze as he watches you study his work so intently. Here you are, an outsider who he has welcomed into his space. It is not like him to be so open, especially not with a stranger from the surface — never someone from the surface — yet, something about you causes a stirring inside of him. Perhaps it is your enthusiasm and wonders for his culture or your refreshing dose of humanity towards his people that compels his desire to be close to you.

As you follow the artwork from panel to panel across the walls, you arrive at a scene that suddenly makes you freeze. Your wrist snaps your finger back as if repelled by the paint itself. In front of you is a large image of Namor dawning a serpent headpiece as he hovers above the water. You are immediately back in your nightmare, your mind flashing to Namor’s outstretched hand then the darkness that closes in around you as you start to drown. You can almost feel the fire in your lungs as they grow desperate for air.

“What troubles you?” Namor asks with genuine traces of concern in his voice. Your sudden silence has not gone unnoticed. He moves to stand shoulder to shoulder with you now, looking up to analyze the same part of the mural.

"Nothing," you lie, shaking your head while your hand drops to your side. You withdraw from the painting, taking a few steps back from it and Namor.

“Your people," you say to change the subject, pointing your thumb to the rest of the artwork in the room, "they honor you. It's admirable, what you've done for them. To keep them safe all this time."

“But?” He senses there is more on your mind.

You stare at him, then turn your focus back to the tapestries surrounding you. Scanning them from wall to wall, you notice a pattern in the stories shown.

“It’s just,” you begin with uncertainty in your voice “for someone who has spent his whole life bringing peace to his people, I wonder how much of it you have experienced for yourself?”

Namor is quiet for a moment.

"And why do you wonder this?" He finally replies, turning to face you fully.

“I guess I look at these and I’m curious… how? How can you do that without completely breaking under the weight of it all? Even with—” you begin gesturing to his body and suddenly become desperate to come up with the right words in time, “superhuman strength.” Thank god.

“Hmmm,” Namor exhales, thoughtfully nodding as his gaze drops to the floor. He folds his arms over his chest, the golden band around his exposed bicep reflecting the light that softly glows from a nearby lantern. Taking a few steps toward you, he lifts his eyes to yours.

“It is true,” he says, “the burden I carry for the sake of my people does not always permit me the personal luxury of peace. It… can be difficult.” His tone shifts from diplomatic to vulnerable. “And who is to say I have not broken under it? It is that brokenness that has made me the leader I am.”

Turning his head toward the mural, he looks at it carefully before speaking again. His chiseled jawline accentuates the exposed veins protruding from his neck.

"To your question,” he continues, “I believe how is never as important as why. Why would someone fight to bring others peace when they themselves cannot have it?” Namor takes another step closer and lifts his hand to your chin, delicately angling your face upward toward his own. "Because we sacrifice to protect what we love.”

His eyes search yours earnestly. After a moment, Namor quickly drops his hand from your chin and you watch as he moves towards his desk, shuffling a few scrolls around before looking back up at you again.  

“I love my people,” he says, planting his hand firmly on the desk, “and I have seen evil, what it is capable of. I watch as the rest of the world grows desperate in their greed and ambition, their desire for power. They are becoming more dangerous by the day."

"You mean — surface dwellers?" You ask.

Namor raises his brow at you knowingly.

"Yes,” he answers cooly.

"I'm a surface dweller. Am I...dangerous?"

Namor sighs with a small smile.

“Yes. Though not in the way you may think.”

He moves from out behind his desk and back over in your direction.

“Now I have a question for you,” he says in a low voice, approaching you with a dark look looming over his face. “Please consider your answer carefully.”

The silence is intense. Your heart feels like it is going to jump out of your throat as you anticipate what damning question the king of Talokan has in store for you.

Namor’s expression changes on a dime, and he suddenly asks in a lighthearted tone,

“Are you up for a swim?”

—

You follow Namor out of his quarters and into the large open cavern. As you pass by several beautiful pools of water, you are enchanted by how the light dances across the rich tones of Namor's skin. The same light casts dazzling hues of aquamarine and cerulean across the surface of the pools, reflected onto the rocks surrounding them.

Namor approaches one of the bigger pools and removes the cape from his shoulder, exposing his bare chest underneath. Here is the Namor you recognize - prominent necklace, bare chest,  emerald green shorts. Before dropping his cape to the ground, however, he pulls out a Talokan mask from the fabric like the ones Namora and the other warriors wear.

“Take a deep breath,” Namor says as he turns to you. He pushes your hair back from your cheek delicately as he applies the apparatus to your face. Doing as you are told, you inhale deeply as the mask fastens over your nose and mouth.

“Stay close,” he instructs. You nod, and Namor steps to the edge of the closest pool. He looks back at you with a hint of a smile on his face. Then, with all the strength and grace of a god, he dives perfectly into the water and disappears under the surface.

You step closer to the pool. The faint rhythm of droplets falling from the ceiling rings throughout the cavern. You glance behind you toward the entrance, but there isn't a soul in sight. Namora’s words echo through your mind.

When it comes to you, he is blind.

You dive in, following Namor.

Once in the water, you quickly orient yourself. Looking around, you see the outline of Namor, his silhouette waiting for you in the distance. As you swim closer, he gestures for you to follow him. You kick your feet to propel yourself further downward, ears popping as you equalize to the increasing pressure.

You swim until you are clear of the caves. Though your muscles ache, there is something serene about being beneath the water; the quiet, the weightlessness, everything drifting harmoniously in rhythm with the current. For the first time since you can remember, your mind feels still. Free from the chaos. Somehow, the vast open sea does not frighten you with its deep blue void as it did in your dream. Not even a little. Instead, you feel a calmness in your soul as you lose track of time entirely, trailing Namor as you move through the ocean’s depths.

Quite literally in his element, you watch in awe as Namor swims so effortlessly. To him, it must be as easy as breathing. He looks more relaxed than you have seen him. Perhaps even enjoying himself?

You continue to swim, the water getting lighter as the visibility becomes clearer. A school of fish rushes past, their scales glimmering with each flick of a fin or contour of their bodies. Countless numbers weave around you in sync as if part of the same carefully choreographed ballet. You can’t help but smile as you watch them move so freely, and Namor can't help but smile as he watches you.

Suddenly the fish rapidly disperse and within seconds a huge mass flashes past you with incredible speed and agility. Your eyes widen and adrenaline rushes through you as you witness a killer whale chase the school, its size completely dwarfing your mere human frame. Involuntarily, you begin hyperventilating as you watch the giant creature swim off into the distance. When you feel a touch against your arm, you turn to find Namor next to you. His hand rises and falls in front of his torso, gesturing for you to take deep breaths. In, out. In, out.

The two of you remain suspended in the endless ocean blue as you your breath slows and your muscles recover. Namor looks upward, and as you savor the moment of rest you follow his gaze. You can tell by the light above that you are getting close to the surface, which must mean you are nearing your destination. When he nods, you know it is time to move. Slowly the two of you start your ascent and the ocean becomes warmer as you gradually near the top.

When you arise from the water, the sound of the rushing wind, the rolling waves, and birds flying overhead rush into your ears. Less than a hundred meters from you stretches a beautiful coastline covered in soft white sand and lined by rich green foliage.

You make your way towards it. Soon you are walking knee-deep in the waves, the tide splashing against the back of your legs as you near the shore. Removing the mask from your face, the sweet breeze of the island races by, rustling your wet hair and filling your nostrils with the earthy aroma of some nearby palm trees.

Namor has already reached the sand. He stands tall, water still running down his body. Staring out at the horizon, he runs his hand over his face and pushes his hair back, inadvertently flexing his bicep as he does so. The sun slowly begins its descent toward the Earth, its warm rays casting brilliant tones of red and orange across Namor’s exposed skin. It contrasts the deep blues and greens that illuminated him in the caverns, and at this point, you are confident he looks devastatingly beautiful in any light.

As you reach the shore, you take your place next to him and stare out at the skyline.

“Hard to beat a view like that,” you say breathlessly.

“My mother would always describe to me the beauty of the setting sun,” Namor responds. “I have no love for the surface world, but from time to time I visit this island. See what she saw.”

“Is this—?” You begin to ask.

“Where she is buried.” Namor answers before you finish your question. His eyes drop as he reflects, “I am not sure what I expected to see the day I came to lay her body to rest. I suppose the beauty of an island she spoke of so fondly. Instead, I found my brothers and sisters enslaved by men who took life without a second thought.” His jaw clenches as he recalls the bitter memory. “But I saw to it the favor was returned.”

His meaning is clear. You are not sure which makes you more nervous — the calm and cool way he says it, or the menacing smile that accompanies his statement. Either way, his smile disappears as quickly as it comes. You have seen Namor’s ferocity firsthand and know what he is capable of, especially when it comes to protecting his people. A nervous feeling grows in the pit of your stomach as you begin questioning his purpose in bringing you here.

You consider the facts:

You are a surface dweller.

He did call you dangerous.

Oh shit.

Anxiously you glance at him, then redirect your gaze back to the horizon to maintain your composure. The soft waves break along the shore, racing up to your ankles. As the sand beneath your feet gets pulled out by the tide, you wish with all your might you could be pulled away with it. Instead, you sink deeper into the ground, more immovable than before.

“Are you going to kill me?” The words come out blunter than you intend, but you stand by them despite the quiver in your voice.

The question pulls Namor out of his thoughts as he turns to you, eyebrows raised. He studies your face carefully before answering.

“I probably should," he says. There is no malice in his words, only honesty. “The knowledge you have of me and my people... it puts me in a difficult position.” His eyes are solemn. "But I have lived a long time, and in that time I have witnessed many in their final moments before death when one truly reveals themself. That night on the beach, in what you believed were your final moments, you kept your word to me and my people. You said nothing to those men, even with your life on the line. There is no truer test of loyalty.”

Without a word, he reaches his hand out for the mask you still carry. You cautiously hand it over.

"There is a village eastward,” Namor continues, “you will find everything you need there, and the means to leave this place."

You feel his palm slip under your fingers to receive the mask. He takes a deep breath, then purses his lips in the direction behind you.

“Or, just up the way beyond those trees is a house. It is not much, but comfortable. It is yours to use... if you wish. You would be safe here.”

The offer catches you off guard.

“I… I don't understand." You mutter in slight confusion.

With a deep inhale, Namor squints back at the setting sun to collect his thoughts. Then, taking another step closer, he eliminates virtually any remaining space between you. His eyes are deep and mesmerizing as ever. Your heart races from his sudden proximity and you find yourself holding your breath as you wait for him to speak again. He peers down at you, so impossibly close that you can sense the rise and fall of his chest as he breathes.

"You are no enemy of mine," he says with authority, "and no prisoner of Talokan. You have my trust. And because of that trust, I will not order you to stay." Namor then drops the mask into the sand like it is worthless and gently slides his hands underneath your jawline, cradling your face in both of his palms. “But I am asking you to.”

You are speechless. The way he is holding your gaze, the tenderness of his thumb brushing against the apple of your cheek, the fluttering of his lashes as his eyes flick down to your mouth.

"Stay," Namor says fervently in one final clarifying word. It is not a command, but an invitation. Perhaps even a plea. But most importantly, it is a choice. Your choice.

His eyes quickly dart back up to yours as he awaits an answer, but even Namor is not strong enough to keep his attention from dropping back down to your lips. He is clearly focused on more than just the words he hopes to hear come out of them.

In an overwhelming wave of boldness, you allow instinct to take over. No lives at stake, no siren’s song  — it is only the burning desire within your very soul for him that compels you. You close your eyes and melt into Namor’s touch, pressing your lips to his.

The moment you do so, it is as if a surge of energy courses through your veins, electrifying your entire body. Namor immediately welcomes your advance, molding his lips to your own. The smooth piece of jade that pierces his septum presses cooly above your lip, contrasting the heat of his skin to ignite your senses. As he slides a hand around to the back of your neck, his fingers curl into your hair to bring you in even closer.

A small moan escapes you as the tip of his tongue traces along your bottom lip. You can feel his smile against your mouth, then a tug at the same lip with his teeth. Another invitation, to which you gladly accept. You part your mouth open to let Namor inside. Both of your tongues dance together as your kisses become deeper and more indulgent.

Consumed by his taste and his touch, you slide your hands up his bare chest, desperate for more of him. Without missing a beat, Namor responds by running his arms down your body and hoisting you up off the sand with ease. You wrap your legs around him tightly and take full advantage of this new, higher angle. Moving your mouth in tandem with his, you savor the richness of his lips and entangling your fingers in his dark locks of hair. 

The two of you ebb and flow just like the rolling ocean waves, losing yourselves in each other. It’s not until you feel a faint burning in your lungs that you face the harsh reality of having to break away for air. Everything inside you fights it. If Namor were the sea, you would gladly let yourself drown in this moment.

But Namor, also sensing your need for oxygen, begins to slow down. He lowers you gently to the ground, though he is careful not to let you slip too far away from him. The two of you breathe heavily as the sun begins to dip below the horizon. Namor gives you another passionate kiss, this one slow and deep. His lips then move to the corner of your mouth and trail up to your ear, the heat of his breath spreading like wildfire across your skin. You can feel your heart beating out of your chest. Holding you close, Namor leans his forehead against your temple and presses his lips against your ear.

“Please," he whispers. "Stay with me.”

Game Pile: Thirsty Sword Lesbians

I feel ill equipped to even examine this book.

I do not think I am considered aesthetically or in my presentation particularly thirsty, I own no swords nor do I feel that that’s a deeply spiritual failing on my part, and I am not in any but the most technically accepting and deliberately broad definition an lesbians. I’m not asking for anyone to change the qualifications on my part.

“Ah,” you may glibly say, “Talen, that doesn’t mean you have to be those things to participate in this game,” okay, cool, great, thank you for explaining the basics of fiction to me. I can understand that that’s something you may feel you have to do with my demonstration of difficulty grappling with that.

Come along, and maybe you’ll learn more about me by listening to me, as I talk about this book, and the game it ostensibly is about.

Thirsty Sword Lesbians is a Powered By The Apocalypse engine game. Not a Forged in the Dark engine game, of which you’ve probably heard me talk about to the extent that you’re frustrated with me; I’ve talked about Blades in the Dark, Brinkwood: Blood of Tyrants, Scum & Villainy and Girl By Moonlight, a set of games I own and happily extol, and I feel I’m only a moment from getting a game started in any of them when I can get my players together. Instead, this is the system that I am led to understand gave rise to that whole lovely ecology of Dice Pools and Stresses and Harms and Devil’s Bargains.

Now I need you to understand, I have not played this game. I haven’t played any of the Powered by the Apocalypse games I own either. I haven’t played Monster of the Week or Avatar: The Last Airbender either. All I know about them I have learned from reading the books, and unfortunately, that’s kind of part of the problem. Through reading these books I have not got a clear idea of how this game plays. What players are doing, what are they invested in, how do they think of the world in front of them?

The engine of the game is built around players taking actions, referred to as ‘moves’ that are drawn from a specific, character-centric set of moves, or generally large pool of moves that are known as ‘basic’ moves. Everything, as I understand it, is a move; when you fight, it’s a move, but also when you fail at something, your GM gets to make a move that represents that. The entire mechanical system can be framed in this way, with a set of moves that trigger moves, and conditions that are the results of moves. It’s elegant, undeniably! I mean it’s elegant in conception.

In practice it is overwhelming.

Sorry, let me be clearer: In practice, I, a 4th edition D&D veteran, find this game’s approach overwhelming.

When I talk about approach I mean the way that the player engages with the game. Any time I pick up an RPG you’ll probably see me do the same thing – flip the book open and see how hard it is to learn about a player character. In Thirsty Sword Lesbians, the player character building kicks in at page 44 of 224, which is to say, you get about a quarter of the way through the book before you, a player, learn what you can be in this world.

What comes before that?

It’s a lot of stuff I’d normally file as priming. You have to learn the basics of what an RPG is (every RPG does after all), then there’s a player’s agenda section, five pages on safety and consent, and about twenty pages of teaching you the basics of how to make a move in this game. Which means, reading through the book in standard, the game will tell me ‘you can do these things in this world’ before I’ve ever been anchored into what that means, what the character I’ll be playing in this story is beyond a base representation of ‘a thirsty sword lesbian.’

And that’s not stated in the text, it’s just on the cover. By that stage, the game is explaining to you how to handle layers of Formidable NPC Conditions while your player character is ‘an individual Player Character.’ But don’t worry, it’s given you a bunch of bullet points about ways to flirt, wanted to get that in first. The book shows you the XP and advancement system before it tells you what kind of character you can play.  You know how your character can leave the story before you can know what this character could be.

Aesthetically  this book is extremely thorough and deliberately incoherent. There’s no setting it wants to extol so the art ranges from Nordic myths to space faring laser adventures. That bums me out a bit, because I think a setting is a thing that gives you control over the language and control of a game.

It’s not like it doesn’t have an aesthetic: It’s a very specific vibe from a very specific type of queerness, a very specific vibe of Brightly Coloured Deliberately Not The Normal Type Of Queer that I know sings to a lot of people. I know, I have a lot of friends in this space. The game even renames the Gamemaster to the Gaymaster and I can imagine the people who wrote that line beaming happily about it even as I imagine the editor I live with rolling her eyes so hard they fall out of her skull.  

The game wants to be – well, I mean it’s in the name, it’s a thirsty game which tells you how to flirt and uses harms like ‘you are humiliated and the news will spread’ alongside things like ‘you’re rendered helpless for the scene.’  There’s a basic move for being smitten. You can kiss to get bonuses. Thirsty Sword Lesbians is a book that reads to me as unapologetically and completely comfortable in being horny and being horny for things that are largely seen as unpolite or inappropriate ways to be horny, which, you know, queer life, queer love, that’s fine, that’s not a problem, it’s a thing we need and need more of.

It’s funny that all this indulgence starts then not with ‘here is the fantasy, here is what you can inhabit, here’s what you can be’ but instead ‘eat your greens, it’s time to learn about conditions.’

I really need to play a PBTA game if I’m going to try and read more of these books. The more I read them the more I’m left helplessly wondering if this entire game system is an attempt to systematise a kind of storytelling that I don’t need systematised, since it’s just how I envision telling a story in a roleplaying game.  It’s got to be more than that, it’s got to be deeper than that, I need to see some of this play experience happening and maybe even happening around me while I learn, because as it is, the game system seems like something I’d struggle to run and struggle even harder to play.

I know part of this has to be my play experience. I’ve been at lots of RPG tables, but at tables where none of the players are that comfortable with romance in the narrative and, as a GM, where they’re even reluctant, or uncomfortable examining romantic angles with characters. I know ostensibly, I’d love to have that kind of thing in a game, but the idea of sitting down at a table with the kind of players this game represents makes me feel like the first move I should be using is Leave These People To Their Own Fun.

“Everyone’s included except fascists and bigots” is a great principle, but it’s a lot harder to do. I don’t feel welcome. I feel like this is a book that has firm opinions on its vibes, a demand for how the game should feel and if you can’t get along with it, it doesn’t have advice for you to do so. It doesn’t know how. It’s not like the game is putting you under pressure to play it! It’s just like walking into someone’s dressing room and going: Oh, I do not belong here.

Could a different approach help? I think so, but then the question becomes, why should the approach be different? Who struggles to engage with it? There are people doing lets plays of Thirsty Sword Lesbians and recommendations of using it for a host of settings. Oh, obligatory mention of The Locked Tomb though good god I do not see that working at all and I’d need to see it in play. I bet it’s good at Steven Universe, or Undertale, which are also universes that I feel tell me to go away.

I guess in the end this book makes me feel old, and sad. I have never felt like I belong in queer spaces, in no small part because I don’t feel like I’m allowed to express myself, or that my expressing myself is a thing that’s ever safe to do. This is true in the cult I grew up in, the church I graduated to, the communities I moved on to and the now I live in.  This game wants to extol a vision of queerness and pride, of people who have big feelings and who care about expressing them, and yet, the kinds of things I like and want to be and want to see happen in the world do not belong.  I can see straight guys playing this game more readily than I can see me playing this game. This game is built around celebrating a thing that has my entire life been something I am outside.

There’s this quote, if you can’t dance to it, it’s not my revolution. I am surrounded on all sides by people who cannot help but enthuse about the queer euphoria and joy their embrace of their identities has brought them and they dance.

And I cannot dance.

Enhancing Pool Safety and Maintenance with Pool Covers

Pool covers are a vital component of pool safety and maintenance, offering numerous benefits for pool owners beyond simply keeping debris out of the water. From preventing accidents and reducing evaporation to minimizing chemical usage and preserving water quality, pool covers play a crucial role in optimizing the functionality and longevity of swimming pools. In this article, we'll explore the importance of pool covers, their various types, and the advantages they offer to pool owners.

1. Safety Benefits:

One of the primary functions of pool covers is to enhance safety by preventing unauthorized access to the pool, especially for young children and pets. Safety covers are designed to support the weight of an adult and are securely anchored to the pool deck, creating a barrier that prevents accidental falls into the water. This feature provides peace of mind for homeowners, particularly when the pool is not in use or during periods of absence.

2. Reduction of Evaporation:

Pool covers also help minimize water loss due to evaporation, particularly in hot and dry climates. By covering the surface of the pool when it is not in use, pool covers reduce exposure to sunlight and wind, which are the primary drivers of evaporation. This not only conserves water but also helps maintain optimal water levels, reducing the need for frequent refilling and topping up.

3. Temperature Regulation:

Pool covers can help regulate water temperature by trapping heat from sunlight and reducing heat loss through evaporation. This can extend the swimming season and improve overall comfort for swimmers, allowing them to enjoy warmer water temperatures even in cooler weather conditions. Additionally, pool covers can help reduce heating costs by minimizing heat loss during the night or when the pool is not in use.

4. Chemical Savings and Water Quality:

Another advantage of pool covers is their ability to reduce chemical consumption and maintain water quality. By shielding the pool from sunlight, leaves, and other debris, pool covers help prevent organic contaminants from entering the water and promote better circulation and filtration. This reduces the need for chemical treatments and enhances the effectiveness of pool sanitation systems, resulting in cleaner, clearer water for swimmers to enjoy.

5. Debris Protection and Maintenance:

Pool covers act as a barrier against leaves, insects, dirt, and other debris that can accumulate in the water and clog filters or damage pool equipment. This minimizes the time and effort required for pool maintenance, such as skimming, vacuuming, and backwashing, allowing pool owners to spend more time enjoying their pool and less time performing tedious cleaning tasks.

Types of Pool Covers:

Safety Covers: Designed to support the weight of an adult and prevent accidental drowning.

Solar Covers: Made of durable plastic or bubble wrap material, solar covers help retain heat and reduce evaporation.

Winter Covers: Heavy-duty covers designed to protect the pool during the off-season, shielding it from harsh weather conditions and debris.

Automatic Covers: Motorized covers that can be operated with the push of a button, providing convenience and ease of use for pool owners.

Conclusion:

Pool covers are indispensable accessories for maintaining a safe, clean, and efficient swimming pool. Whether it's enhancing safety, conserving water, regulating temperature, or minimizing maintenance, pool covers offer a multitude of benefits for pool owners. By investing in a quality pool cover and incorporating it into their pool maintenance routine, homeowners can enjoy greater peace of mind and maximize the enjoyment of their swimming pool throughout the year.

Small Polytunnels: Recovering and Fitting

Polyculture cultivation has significantly benefited from the advent of small polytunnels, granting gardeners and those with a love for greater control over the environment and production in which their plants grow. Their growing uses are fundamentally characterised by their cover type, which plays a reflected and protective role in regulating internal temperature and humidity conditions. Small polytunnels are particularly popular owing to their affordability and simple convenience, and the ease and simplicity of polytunnel recovering and offer a quick step-by-step guide to fitting one on a small garden structure:

Fitting polytunnel recovering to a small garden structure is generally considered to be a straightforward process, especially with a well-planned approach and the right equipment and tools. The ease of the process can be attributed to the manageable size of small polytunnels, which requires a commonsense approach and thought before attempting to fit, simply by reading the instructions carefully that are provided with small polytunnel kits. Knowing you have the ability to attempt this on your own, or when placing the cover over the frame, a spare pair of hands to look out for snagging is a wise approach, making it a quick and easy process, both in build time and completion of the cover.

Larger structures such as domestic or commercial builds require different equipment and more manpower is required for safety and managing completion in a timely manner.

How to Fit a Polytunnel Replacement Covering

Preparation

Start off by removing the old cover carefully to avoid any damage to the frame. Once the old cover is removed, clean the frame to get rid of any dirt or rust and carry out a thorough inspection of the frame and fittings to identify any damaged structural items that need replacing. Use hot-spot tape in the areas of cover coming into contact with the frame.

Choosing the Right Cover

Material: Ensure you select a cover made from a durable material like polyethylene that offers UV protection and is suited to your intended crop or plant cultivation.

Dimensions: The cover should correspond with the dimensions of your tunnel to ensure a snug fit and in the way it is to be anchored or trenched.

Installation

Unfurl the Cover: Spread out the new cover beside the frame, aligning it properly with the structure.

Attach the Cover: Start at one end and gradually pull the cover gently over the frame, ensuring it is evenly distributed and not going to snag or sag on anything.

Secure the Cover: Once the cover is in place, secure it using the appropriate fixtures, usually included in all makes, models, and sizes small polytunnels come in. The cover should be drum-tight and not gathered or creased, to prevent sagging and water pooling.

Finishing

Adjustments: Make any necessary adjustments to ensure the cover fits perfectly without any wrinkles.

Doors and Windows: Finally, install the doors and windows that come with the kit, ensuring they are properly aligned and secured.

Time Frame

The time it takes to recover and fit small polytunnels covering can vary depending on various factors including the complexity of the tunnel structure and your proficiency with DIY tasks. However, with a well-organised approach, it can generally take a day or less to complete the polytunnel recovering task. It’s recommended to monitor weather forecasts and choose a calm day to carry out the process.

Safety: Ensure to follow safety guidelines, including wearing gloves to protect your hands. There are polytunnel recovering services available if you require help.

While it might seem like a daunting task, arming yourself with the right knowledge, preparation, and tools can simplify the process, paving the way for small polytunnels that are ready to protect and nurture your plants to grow. Remember, the effort put into correctly ensuring the polytunnel recovering will reap benefits in the form of a productive and thriving garden. The degradation of a polytunnel cover is down to their known life expectancy and the varying weather conditions around the UK where they are located especially if out in the open.

Winter Mesh Covers in Melbourne: Your Ultimate Guide to Seasonal Pool Care

Because of Melbourne's varied environment, the four seasons are quite distinct, and as winter draws closer, pool owners confront the problem of keeping their pools clean and operational in colder temperatures. Winter mesh covers are becoming an increasingly popular option as a necessary solution in Melbourne. Here, we will look into the advantages of winter mesh covers Melbourne, how they function, and the reasons why they are an essential component of your arsenal of pool management tools.

Winter Safety Pool Covers Protect Your Family and Your Investment

What happens if pool is not covered in winter?

If a pool is not covered in winter, several potential issues can arise. Here are some of the common consequences of not covering your pool during the winter season:

Debris accumulation: Leaves, twigs, dirt, and other debris can accumulate in the pool when it is left uncovered. This can lead to a significant mess in the pool, making it more challenging to clean and maintain.

Algae growth: Without a cover, sunlight can reach the pool water, promoting the growth of algae. Algae blooms can cause the water to turn green or cloudy, making it unappealing and requiring additional effort and chemicals to treat and restore the water clarity.

Water evaporation: Winter winds and temperature fluctuations can cause water evaporation from the pool. This leads to a loss of water volume, and you may need to constantly add water to maintain the proper water level.

Increased chemical consumption: With exposure to sunlight and the presence of debris, the pool water's chemical balance can be disrupted. Algae growth, increased evaporation, and debris breakdown can lead to imbalances in pH levels, sanitizer levels, and other water chemistry parameters. As a result, you may need to use more chemicals and spend more time balancing the water chemistry.

Damage to pool equipment: If your pool has equipment exposed to the elements, such as pumps, filters, or plumbing lines, they may be susceptible to freezing temperatures. Freezing can cause damage to the equipment, leading to costly repairs or replacements.

Safety hazards: An uncovered pool poses a safety risk, especially for households with children or pets. Accidental falls into the pool can result in serious injuries or even drownings. It's crucial to prioritize safety and take appropriate measures to secure the pool area during the winter.

While covering the pool may require some effort, it helps protect your pool from the potential issues mentioned above. By covering your pool, you can minimize debris, maintain water cleanliness, conserve water, reduce chemical consumption, and enhance overall safety.

What should I cover my pool with in winter?

When it comes to covering your pool in winter, there are a few options you can consider based on your specific needs and budget. Here are three common choices:

Pool Safety Cover: A pool safety cover is a sturdy and durable option that provides both safety and protection during the winter months. These covers are typically made of solid vinyl or mesh material, which prevents debris from entering the pool while also ensuring that it can support the weight of a person or pet if they accidentally walk on it. Pool safety covers are secured tightly to the pool deck using anchors and straps, creating a barrier that keeps your pool clean and safe during the winter season.

Winter Pool Cover: A winter pool cover, also known as a solid cover, is a popular choice for many pool owners. These covers are made of heavy-duty vinyl or polyethylene material and effectively keep leaves, dirt, and other debris out of the pool. Winter pool covers are typically secured to the pool using water bags or heavy-duty springs and anchors. They provide protection against sunlight, which helps prevent algae growth. However, it's important to regularly remove accumulated rainwater or melted snow from the cover to prevent sagging or damage.

Leaf Net Cover: A leaf net cover is designed to work in conjunction with a winter pool cover. It is a lightweight mesh cover that sits on top of the winter cover, acting as an additional barrier to catch leaves and larger debris. The leaf net cover makes the process of removing leaves and debris in the fall and winter much easier. When it's time to open the pool in spring, you can simply remove the leaf net cover and easily dispose of the debris, leaving the winter cover relatively clean.

Before choosing a cover, consider factors such as your climate, budget, and specific requirements. It's also important to follow the manufacturer's instructions for installation and maintenance to ensure proper use and maximize the lifespan of the cover.

Is safety cover same as a winter cover?

No, a safety cover and a winter cover are not the same thing, although they serve different purposes. Here's the difference between the two:

Safety Cover: A safety cover is a type of pool cover that is designed primarily for safety and to prevent accidents, particularly for households with children or pets. These covers are typically made of solid vinyl or mesh material and are specifically designed to support the weight of a person or pet if they accidentally walk or fall onto the cover. Safety covers are secured tightly to the pool deck using anchors and straps, creating a strong barrier that keeps the pool inaccessible and provides peace of mind during the winter months or when the pool is not in use. While safety covers offer some protection against debris, their primary function is to prevent accidental entry into the pool.

Winter Cover: A winter cover, also known as a solid cover or pool cover, is designed to protect your pool during the winter season. These covers are typically made of heavy-duty vinyl or polyethylene material and are intended to keep leaves, dirt, snow, and other debris out of the pool. Winter covers are secured to the pool using water bags, heavy-duty springs, or anchors. They help maintain the cleanliness of the pool by blocking sunlight, which reduces algae growth. While some winter covers can support light loads, they are not designed to be walked on and do not provide the same level of safety as a dedicated safety cover.

In summary, safety covers are primarily focused on preventing accidents and providing a strong barrier, while winter covers are meant to protect the pool from debris during the winter season. Depending on your needs, you may choose to use either a safety cover, a winter cover, or a combination of both for maximum safety and protection.

Ways to Prepare Your Pool and Screen Enclosures for a Hurricane

Severe weather conditions, particularly hurricanes, have been a recurring phenomenon in Florida's history. Hurricane season in Florida starts approximately in June and lasts until the end of November. On average, a season witnesses the formation of 12 tropical storms in the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, or Gulf of Mexico, out of which six tend to intensify into hurricanes. These occurrences pose a serious threat to your homes by increasing the risk of hazards like strong winds, tornadoes, storm surges, and inland flooding from heavy rain.

If you're a pool owner, you must be aware of the risks that extreme weather poses to your pool and screen enclosure. But with the help of a trusted screen installation company, you can take the necessary measures before and during a hurricane to protect your investment and ensure your safety. Here are tips from professional providers of pool screen enclosure services on how to prepare.

Before A Hurricane

Do Not Drain the Pool One may assume that draining the pool is the best action, but this is a significant mistake. Powerful winds can create hydrostatic pressure beneath in-ground pools, which can cause them to pop out of the ground. Water in the pool functions as a weight to anchor it down and shields the pool's surface from harm due to airborne debris.

Brace Your Screen Enclosure One precaution to take in advance is to use hurricane braces. Pool screen enclosures frequently collapse during severe weather because of inadequate bracing. Braces for pool enclosures increase their structural toughness and can lessen storm damage. It is recommended to ensure that your quality screen enclosure for pools has appropriate hurricane braces before the onset of a storm.

Turn off the Power to Your Equipment It is recommended to turn off the electric breaker system that powers your pool's lighting and mechanical system to prevent electrical surge damage. The filter may receive the most harm during a hurricane, so it is crucial to safeguard it. Remove and keep the pump in a secure and dry location if the filter is wholly submerged in water, or cover the pump with waterproof plastic and tie it securely to avoid water damage.

Check Your Enclosures Hardware Using corrosion-resistant fasteners will ensure that the screens of your pool enclosure are in good condition. If your screens have tears or holes, they can compromise the enclosure's ability to withstand high winds and flying debris during a hurricane. Inspecting your screens for damage regularly and promptly scheduling screen repairs is recommended. This will make your pool enclosure as safe and secure as possible during extreme weather events.

Protect Your Pool Equipment Covering your pool's pump, automatic timer, heater, and light fixtures with multiple layers of plastic is advisable. Use duct tape and rope to secure the plastic wrapping in place. If feasible, disconnect the power supply to the devices as well.

Use Light Weight Aluminum Screens Another essential consideration for hurricane protection is using lightweight aluminum screens for your enclosure. Unlike traditional screens, made of materials like fiberglass or metal, aluminum screens are designed to be more durable and resistant to high winds and flying debris. It is more effective at filtering harmful UV rays, protecting your skin, and reducing energy costs. Making the switch to aluminum screens can significantly improve your enclosure's overall strength and resilience, providing additional protection against hurricane damage.

Eliminate Potential Projectiles During a hurricane, strong winds can turn objects such as planters, grills, and patio furniture into dangerous projectiles. Store your patio items securely or lock them down with heavy-duty tie-downs or chains. Do not throw lawn furniture in the pool to avoid damaging your pool finish and to prevent chemical damage to your table.

Create a Path of Least Resistance Encouraging wind gusts to follow a specific path can reduce the damage they cause. If you anticipate a hurricane, remove some screen panels or doors from your pool enclosure if the design allows. However, this decision should be made closer to the time of the storm. This technique can increase wind flow and prevent torn screens.

After a Hurricane Before any further inspections, make sure to check your surroundings.

Pool - If you have submerged items, remove them as soon as possible. - Inspect your pool's plumbing, pumps, and filters for cracks and leaks. - Before turning on your pumps, you must check the water and chemical levels and ensure that your valves are set to circulation. - It's important to refrain from reconnecting the power until all debris has been cleared and you have verified that there is no damage to the electrical system. - Call the professionals.

Screen Enclosure - Check for downed power lines or other hazards around your property. - Inspect your enclosure for any signs of damage, such as tears, holes, or bent frames. - Remove any debris that may have been collected inside your enclosure.

Reinforce Your Screens With Aaron's Aluminum and Screen Repair Secure your pool for future hurricanes by installing more substantial screens, adding additional support beams, or anchoring the area more firmly to your property. Hire Aaron's Aluminum and Screen Repair for screen enclosure services in Gainesville, FL, for quality aluminum screen enclosures.

How to Attach a Pool Safety Rope With No Hooks

If you’re looking for information on how to attach a pool safety rope with no hooks, you’ve come to the right place. There are many things you should know before you install this tool, including why you need one and what items are required. Listed below are some tips and tricks to ensure your safety at the pool.

How do you install a pool rope?

When installing pool safety rope, the installation process can be tricky. You need to ensure that the rope will fit around the entire pool, and leave some extra length for overlap. You also need to ensure that you cut the rope to length. If you are unsure about the length required, you can ask someone to help you.

The safety rope will not replace direct supervision of children in the pool. It serves as an additional layer of protection that prevents accidents. If you don’t have any anchors in the wall of the pool, you can still install the rope in the pool deck. If you are planning on renovating your pool in the future, you can have the anchors installed at that time.

First, install the cable assembly across the wall. Once this is complete, you can install the cover as you would a regular custom cover. When you install the cable, make sure to place the center straps three to five inches above the tile line. This will help the cover fit better and keep out debris. Next, install the turnbuckles that connect the center strap to the large steel clips located underneath the pool cover.

A lifeguard can also use a ring buoy to help rescue swimmers. They can be purchased in 24-inch and 30-inch diameters. The latter may be better suited for rescue situations involving multiple people. The 24-inch ring buoy, however, is easier to throw. It is also important to purchase a throwing rope long enough to reach the entire length of the pool.

Why is there a rope in pool?

A safety rope is a vital safety precaution in a pool, and it should be visible at all times. You should also make sure that the area around the pool is free of objects that might cause an accident. It is essential to supervise children and keep them within the water at all times.

Safety ropes are usually fixed to the walls of a swimming pool. They are not intended to replace direct supervision. They are simply an added layer of protection. Before you install safety ropes in your pool, make sure that the wall or deck has rope anchors. If you don’t have these, you can install them on the pool deck or have them added the next time you renovate your pool.

Ropes also serve as floatation devices in an emergency. If a swimmer slips and falls into the water, he or she can cling to the rope, which can save a life. Floats can also mark off dangerous areas in a swimming pool.

Pool safety ropes are not difficult to install. They are often made of nylon or polyester and braided. You can install them in any size and shape of pool. Nevertheless, installing a safety rope requires a little experience and patience. Be sure to leave enough space for it to hang properly.

Which item or items are safety tools that must be

Swimming pool safety tools are essential to ensure that your pool stays safe for you and your family. These items include a rope to cordon off the deep end of the pool, a safety hook, a ring buoy, and a first aid kit. All of these safety tools should be placed in easily accessible places and checked regularly.

A lifeguard must have a rescue tube. The lifeguard must have at least one rescue tube per swimming pool. One end of the rescue tube must be fastened to a polypropylene line, and the other end must have a way to fasten around the person being rescued.

How do you hang rope lights in pool?

If you don’t have hooks in your swimming pool, you can still hang string lights over it using anchor points. However, make sure to use solid drilled anchor points in order to ensure the structural integrity of the lights. Another option is to use gutter hooks that won’t damage the texture of the pool walls.

You can also hang these lights around the edge of your pool. Not only does this add extra safety, it also helps illuminate hazards along the edge of the pool better. The residual light from over-the-pool lights also helps, but lights focused on the edge do a better job. Remember to set the lights at a height that’s high enough to prevent them from being in the way of people walking underneath them.

To install the lights, you first need to determine the number of posts that you need to hang them. Once you’ve done that, you need to measure the space between the posts. Then, you’ll need to drill pilot holes in each post. Next, install the cup hooks by hand. You can use a ladder for this, or you can use a cable kit as a guide wire. Once you’ve finished, reinforce the string of lights with zip ties, and plug them into your nearest outlet.

You can also hang lights from posts that are located around the edge of the pool. This option is more convenient if you don’t want to drill holes into the pool walls. Once the posts are installed, you can attach hooks to them. If you don’t want to use hooks, then planters are another option. However, you should always check the distance between the light and the edge of the pool before installing them.

How do you use a pool rescue hook?

When it comes to attaching a pool safety rope without hooks, you need to know a few things. First, you need to measure the length of the rope from one side of the pool to the other. You can mark this with a piece of chalk or tape. Next, you need to tie a knot on each end of the rope.

The rope should be a minimum of 23 feet long. The length should be enough to separate the shallow and deep sides of the pool. It should have stainless metal hooks on either end. There are also attached floats. The overall length of the rope should be at least 23 feet, while the float should be approximately 2.75″H x 5″W.

One reason to use a pool safety rope is to protect young children. The rope helps keep children safe by separating the deep end from the shallow area. It also helps swimmers stay afloat by alerting them to the deep end. However, it is still important to supervise your children at all times.

Installing a pool safety rope is a simple task. It only takes a few minutes to install one, and it can save a family from many accidents.

Can You Sue a Cruise Ship for an Accident or Injury?

Many passengers aren’t even aware that the cruise line might be responsible for accidents that happen while they’re on the ship. You might not be aware that by filing a claim with the help of a cruise ship accident lawyer, you might be able to obtain a settlement or judgment against a cruise line,  that will assist in covering your medical expenses, lost wages from missed work, and other compensatory and punitive damages. You should consult a lawyer who sues cruise lines and has experience handling a variety of cruise ship injury cases and lawsuits if you think you have a legal claim against the cruise line, or even if you’re unsure about your options. How Can Accidents Happen on a Cruise Ship? Every year, cruise ships get bigger. Every season, new ships enter service. As the industry develops, new safety issues arise. These ships, which are essentially floating cities, present particular dangers of harm and injury that are not present on the land. They also carry a lot of hazards from the land out to sea. No members of the law enforcement community are commonly present. There are few medical services. But there is a lack of other safety personnel. When a vacation turns into a terrible tragedy, the victims need legal assistance and advice. How to Report an Injury to a Cruise Line In order to successfully claim compensation, you must file your cruise ship injury claim as soon as possible. Remember that your health is always a priority if you suspect a severe lesion. Inform the security guard or other nearby staff as soon as possible about the incident. Ask for a copy of your statement right away after you give one. They won’t give you a copy if you don’t get one right away. If you sustain injuries, seek medical attention at the ship’s infirmary and report the incident. Do not rely on the cruise line to file a report of a sexual assault or any related assault violations on your behalf. If more medical attention is required after the ship has anchored, remember to seek it immediately. You must start recording and keeping the evidence as soon as possible. Cruise lines are not required to offer pictures. Therefore, you must either take pictures of the area yourself or have someone else do so. If you can, take pictures of the entire accident scene and your injuries. Gather the names and contact details of every witness, including crew members and other travelers from the cruise ship. How Much Can I Get for a Cruise Ship Accident Lawsuit? The reality is that there isn’t a predetermined “average” for how much a case like this might be worth. Each case is unique, and so is its value. Depending on the cruise ship accident lawyer, as well as the particular elements of the case some injury lawsuits have previously been valued at more than $100,000. However, if you or a loved one sustains more severe wounds, the damage could reach $350,00 or even more. Cases of wrongful death can number in the millions. How Can I Get Hurt on a Cruise Ship? On a cruise ship, just as there are several activities and amenities, there are also a large number of potential ways for passengers to get hurt, including: Foodborne illness as well as possible allergic reactions occur when the food is not handled, cooked, and supervised correctly by staff members. Slip and fall accidents are common in recreational activities such as swimming pools and rock climbing. You may be awarded both economic and non-economic damages in these injury cases, as well as in other types of cases.

“I seem to remember a time when the back door was 'always an option' as well, baby-doll,” James rumbled low in retort as he righted himself and was able to look over at Collins for the first time since entering the room. He observed in amusement as a deep red flushed underneath her porcelain skin as she registered what he had said. The sickly sweet smells of caramel and coffee were coming out of her mug and mixing with the strong, pungent smell of burning plant matter. The combination made James’ stomach turn, but he made his way over to her on the bed anyway, nodding towards the contents of her hands, “Breakfast of champions?”

He stole the coffee cup from her hands and took a hesitant sip. His face drew up as if he had drunk something sour as soon as the flavor touched his tongue, “Ugh, nope; still not a coffee guy.” He handed the cup back to her, waited until he was sure she did not have smoke in her mouth, and tilted her chin up so that he could kiss her soundly. "Mmm, you're warm,” he murmured against her lips before pecking her on the tip of her nose and crawling into the bed alongside her. He twisted himself around until he could position his head in her lap, and he wrapped his long arms around her waist. Closing his eyes, he released the stress in his back with a deep breath, and felt his body fully relax for the first time in several days.

---

Veronica's body was wracked with uncontrollable silent sobs as she tried to claw her way out of Lukas’ grip, her feet never finding an anchor point on the ground. Through her tears, she saw the dark form of Damian come closer to them, but she couldn't gain the breath to tell him to run. She could only imagine what Lukas would do to Damian if he tried to interfere, and she went to claw harder at Lukas’ hand to get away from him. She thought that if she could get away, she would be able to bring Damian along to safety.

As the grip on her head released unexpectedly, Veronica heard a stomach turning crunch come from behind her, and she feared she was too late. She twisted around to dive between them, but soon Lukas was collapsing onto the ground next to her. She scrambled backwards away from him as she witnessed Damian press himself around her brother’s neck. Wiping her eyes clear as she was able to regain her composure, Veronica was entranced by the way Damian looked in the moonlight.

Veronica found herself imagining what it would be like to run her tongue along his forearm, cleaning off the blood and mingling its thick coppery taste with his own. Heat pooled in the pit of her stomach at the image, and the force of it alone nearly brought her to her knees to worship at his altar. Damian was going to ruin her, just as he was currently ruining her brother’s perfect, smug little face, as Lukas’ garbled insults were ignored and drowned out by the blood that bubbled up like a backwoods spring from his mouth. But, something - perhaps the small voice in the back of her head - told her that she was going to let him.

Despite all the despicable things his body was doing, Damian's face seemed to remain absolutely calm - as if he was watching the world’s most boring opera. Most of all, his dark eyes had grown even darker, reminding her of the deep precipice she had felt like she had fallen into whenever she first kissed him. Pieces of his hair fell into Damian’s eyes at the impact of the rock hitting bone, and her fingers flickered at the need to push it out of his face for him, knowing it was probably bothering him as she had seen him adjust it on occasion. Whenever he rose covered in her brother’s blood, she stepped towards him to check him over for injuries but slowed to a stop before making it to the water side, allowing him to clean himself off.

Taking his offered hand, she did a visual check over of him, noted that Damian remained unharmed, and let him lead her to his car. She glanced back behind her towards Lukas, and could not tell through the carnage if he was still breathing. Before Veronica could allow herself to zero in on every last detail, she turned her face away from him and buried it partially with Damian’s bicep, clinging onto his forearm with her free hand as if she'd float away otherwise.

Sitting down in the expensive interior of his car, her hands practically burned with emptiness as they needed something to cling to. She drew her knees up into the seat as they moved and hugged them to her chest, resting her cheek against her knees to watch him as they drove. She felt as though she should have some sort of reaction to what had just happened, but there was nothing but the same feeling she'd get after waking from a nightmare and realizing it was all a dream.

As they parked, she removed her shoes from the upholstery, making sure to check that they didn't hurt the seat. The silence between them continued, and she began to wonder if he was waiting for her to get out of the car. She chewed on the inside of her bottom lip, and was about to say goodbye whenever he broke the silence first. Letting out a breath of relief, she answered his question honestly, “I am never going to say no to you.”

---

The feeling of Oliver underneath her was nearly unbearable, but as she tilted her hips and let him slip inside of her, all of the nerves in Noah’s body were set aflame. Her head fell back in ecstasy at the stretch as he began to fill her, and her whole body quaked at the sound that released from his body. His harsh grip on her hips brought her to a halt, and she cried out in desperation to feel all of him. Through her despair, Noah tried to force her mind to clear, and tore her hands through her hair to get it out of her eyes before looking down at him. 

This was Olly - her best friend. They had told each other absolutely everything, even down to what they both found attractive the most in women. Not everything, she had to remind herself. She had not told him that she could have been his from the start. From the moment she had first stumbled into his bar on its opening night. The mayor had been yelling about something that day, which meant Noah had been day-drinking since before lunch. Whenever the mayor’s secretary had said something about one of them visiting the grand opening, Noah had jumped at the opportunity. She had been excited to get out of the office, and as far away from the bullfrog as possible. So excited that she had arrived an hour early, and had found Oliver all alone, playing the piano. She would have been his then if he had asked her, but he hadn't. Was it for the same reason she hadn't told him about her feelings? That once they began their friendship, she couldn't bear to see it go away by ruining it with silly little things like feelings. 

Feelings that she was letting get away from her, and even in her drunkenness, she felt her blood run cold at the thought. As though her body knew better than she did, however, a shudder ripped up her spine, causing her to move involuntarily and for Olly to become seated completely inside of her. She gasped at intrusion, her nails digging into Oliver’s chest as her body shook at the feeling. She bent her torso down to grab Olly’s face between her hands, “Oliver, I-” Her voice caught in her throat, and she swallowed away her words, choosing different ones instead, ones that she needed to hear herself, “Please don't overthink this, and just fuck me!”  She rolled her hips to add emphasis, as she began kissing a trail between his collarbone and jawline.

Outdoor Fire pits Buying Guide

Outdoor fire pits are construction that burns wood or gas and is used to control a fire. A fire pit maintains the flames contained within the fire pit construction and off the ground. A fire pit will safely allow you to enjoy a campfire, whether you want a typical bonfire or a comfortable atmosphere.

Numerous elements can influence the type of fireplace you can or should buy.

Positioning

What Are Your Plans For The Fire?

They tend to draw people in, so it will quickly become a popular gathering spot wherever you put one.

When You're Not At Home 

Placing outdoor fire pits in an isolated clearing across your lawn will attract attention from the immediate area.

If you have adolescents, you can be sure they'll congregate there to relax and avoid the "rents." Keep it visible from a window or porch for safety reasons.

Attached To Or Near Your Home

On your deck or patio, a fireplace can serve to focus activities and lessen the possibility of people walking away. Large fire furniture also performs better nearby because they don't take up as much room as they would out in the open. In covered patios, however, you must consider ceiling clearance and ventilation and ensure that the space meets any minimum manufacturer standards.

Along Walks and Walls

Consider lighting the path leading from the front door to the backyard or pool area if you have a large outside space. Small decorative fires can be included in partial and low walls.

Function of the Fire

Consider how you intend to utilize your fireplace or outdoor fire pits before making your purchase. Some types are versatile, while others are designed for a single purpose.

Heating

Warmth is provided by fires, allowing you to spend time outside in the evenings or throughout the winter months. On the other hand, wood-burning kinds produce more heat than other fuels. Do you have to work with a pre-existing lounge set? A one-sided fire is a fantastic solution for directional heat if your seating is offset. When surrounded by seating, however, an open-air approach works nicely.

Cooking

If you're roasting hotdogs, you can use any fire. Place the meal on a skewer and grill it over high heat.

Some outdoor fire pits can be used as simple outdoor grills, while others can be used to bake pizza or even smoke ribs.

Decorative

If you already have working flames, you might want to improve the ambience of your outside space. Choose from a variety of outdoor fire pits to match your personal taste. Will it complement an architectural feature or a landscape element, or will it stand alone? Is it necessary to have attractiveness when it isn't lit?

Portable Fire Pits: Are They Heavy Or Light And Portable?

A mobile firepit is a great option if you want the freedom to rearrange your outdoor setting regularly. Portable flames offer more styles to choose from than their anchored counterparts while being smaller. They work on patios, decks, and pool areas as well.

Rings

This is the most basic portable firepit with a very straightforward setup. They're usually formed from curving metal panels that fold or detach and latch together to form a ring or square. Place them on a fire-resistant surface and place the wood inside. The enclosure keeps the embers and coals contained and provides the fire shape. The flames within many fire rings illuminate creative motifs stencilled into the sidewalls.

Bowls

There's no mistaking what these are: fire-containing bowls. The bowls might be empty receptacles for wood or filled with smooth rocks or glass pieces that conceal a burner. This type of outdoor fire pits becomes less mobile if they require a gas hookup, but they can still be transported anywhere you need them. They're an excellent choice for tiny areas, and their basic style goes with almost any decor.

Columns

These tall fire constructions are more for ornamental purposes than for providing heat. Their slim shape and high flame are ideal for lighting walks or marking the edge of your yard. When lined up around the margins of a pool at night, fire columns can transform the aesthetic of even the most ordinary outdoor settings to the sublime.

Chimineas

A chiminea may be the appropriate choice for you if you're searching for a quick and easy campfire to warm up over. These outdoor fire pits have a large opening on one side and a thin chimney above to funnel smoke away from the fire. They are traditionally designed like a potbelly stove, are constructed of terracotta, and burn wood. On the other hand, modern variants have sleek, angular aluminium bodies and run on ethanol or gas. Some chimineas have several cooking or storage holes. Even though they are freestanding, many are hefty and should not be moved regularly.

Fire Pits Table

Firepit tables are one of the most popular trends in outdoor fire furniture. A flat tabletop surface encircles an aperture with a burner in these multi-purpose units. The opening can be in different shapes. To protect the flame and everything applied on the top, glass windscreens are usually employed. Tabletop fit pits are available in a variety of heights, ranging from low coffee tables to dining and bar altitudes, and they make for excellent outdoor events. These captivating centrepieces are usually placed in seating configurations and assist in creating a warm social atmosphere

Benefits of Buying Fire Pits

Do you enjoy spending time in nature? Is your patio a luxurious hideaway? You are not obligated to do so. You may use your patio all year long if you have an outdoor fire pit.

Outdoor fire pits are important for the lawn because of the following benefits:.

Increases the Importance of Garden

Sure, the temperature has fallen a little outside. Install your fire pit in a central location on your patio. Arrange chairs around the fire pit's perimeter. Keep a couple of blankets available in case somebody becomes cold. Then assemble your friends and family around the toasty area you've created!

Fire Pits Enhance Ambience

The illumination of outdoor fire pits, like lamps and patio lights, adds visual comfort to your space. It fosters a sense of community among individuals who congregate around its flames.

Cuddling Is Encouraged By Fire Pits

Are you looking for a unique way to spice up your romantic evenings? Invite your honey outside to enjoy a nice beverage. You and your companion will be snuggling up tight around the fire pit in no time.

Fire Pits are like Entertainment

It is real for those fire pits that burn wood. The simple act of keeping the flame alive may be a source of pleasure, from stoking the fire to watching logs burn.

Features

Spark screen included: A spark screen is included to keep burning embers and sparks contained within the outdoor fire pits.

Cooking Feature Included: If you enjoy grilling food over an open fire, look for outdoor fire pits that include a cooking feature. Like a grill, a slatted attachment allows you to place food on top of the fire rather than inside it.

Gas-Conversion Kit Included: If you wish to convert your outdoor fire pits to gas in the future, look for one that includes a gas-conversion kit. This kit will enable you to physically change your fire pit to run on gas.

Safe for a Wooden Deck: Do you want to use your outdoor fire pits on your deck? No worries! Choose a fire pit that can be used safely on a wooden deck. These outdoor fire pits are very secure to use anywhere without any worry.

Portable: If you intend to move your fire pit around your garden or take it on travel, go with a portable fire pit. It will be small and light, making it easy to transfer to anywhere you wish to admire the fire.

Hidden Fuel Tank: If you don't like the appearance of a gasoline tank attached to your outdoor fire pits, consider one with a hidden fuel tank. The fuel tank is buried within the fire pit once it is completed, so guests will not notice it. It will help maintain your fire pit's attention while being easily accessible.

Buy the fire pits Australia from the Pay Later Alligator store if you want a good and durable purchase. You will find a variety of fire pits because it is one of the great stores known as afterpay store Australia. You can purchase and pay easily for the fire pits.

suit up - hawks x f. reader

the one where keigo marries the girl of his dreams, and then takes her home and shows her just how loved she is. title cred/inspo: suit up by jonghyun

notes/warnings: smut and fluff (your teeth may rot and fall out, you’ve been warned), soft dom!keigo, praise kink, slight size kink, oral (f. receiving), unprotected sex + creampie. reader and kei use the traffic light safe word system and they review it beforehand, and he checks in with her at one point but she’s green, so everything is 100% consensual. they flirt + kei says explicit things at the reception but nothing /actually/ happens in public. mentions of alcohol

wc: 5.3k

a/n: this idea’s been bouncing around my head for a while bc i wanna marry this dumbass so bad :’) my first full hawks fic!! im so happy hehe

Beautiful.  

You’re so beautiful.

Keigo’s always known, of course. He’s found you beautiful since the very first moment that he laid his eyes on you, all those years ago. He tells you that you’re beautiful every single day, no matter how much you roll your eyes or jokingly tell him to shut up.

You’re beautiful all the time, but there are certain moments that leave him especially breathless. The day that you foolishly challenged Rumi to an arm-wrestling match. The determined look in your eye as you clenched your fist, sweat dripping down your brow and arm muscles straining (you lost, of course – the rabbit hero was ridiculously jacked). The brilliant smile that graces your face whenever he brings you flowers or little souvenirs from his work trips. The very first morning after you moved into his penthouse, when he woke up next to your peaceful sleeping form, and realized that he’d have mornings like this for the rest of his life.

The day that he flew you up to the mountains for a starlit picnic. The smile on your face as you polished off your meal, and the way that your hand flew up to your mouth when he got down on one knee. Your teary-eyed look of pure love as he slipped the ring onto your finger, the diamond gleaming like one of the stars that shone down on you. The way that your eyes rolled back and your legs wrapped around his waist when he took you home and fucked you for hours.

And right now. Keigo swore that his heart damn near burst at the sight of you. The organist was playing, but he couldn’t hear the notes, couldn’t hear anything besides the blood rushing in his ears. Your hands clasped an elegant flower bouquet, and Keigo was sure that the blossoms were pretty, but he couldn’t spare even a second to glance at them. No, his entire focus was trained on you. You, with your beautiful dress that perfectly accentuated the body that he loved so much. When your eyes raised to meet his, and that perfect smile worked its way across your face… he had to bite his inner cheek to try and hold the tears back.

In a simultaneous eternity and heartbeat, you were handing off your bouquet to a bridesmaid and clasping Keigo’s large hands with your much smaller ones. The officiant was speaking, but Keigo didn’t process any of it. The sight of your eyes shining up at him, more beautiful than any of the stars in the night sky, was the only thing anchoring him to the world. He felt like he was floating through a dreamscape with only you, the happiness in his chest powerful and all-encompassing.

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

You’re talking to a group of your old friends from high school when a tap against your shoulder grabs your attention, and you turn to see your fiancé – no, your husband – smirking down at you. He wraps an arm around your waist and pulls you close. “Excuse me, ladies,” he says to your friends. “Mind if I steal her for a moment?” His amber eyes glint mischievously, and you swear that a whole swarm of butterflies take flight in your stomach.

Your friends giggle and nod, and then Keigo’s spinning you around so that you’re face-to-face. He’s stunning, in his black suit and red dress shirt, the shade of crimson matching his wings perfectly. “Dance with me, dove,” he says, before leaning down to press a quick kiss against your lips. You nod, and he leads you towards the center of the venue, where most of your guests are dancing to some cheesy pop song. Keigo nods at the DJ, who nods back and switches to the music. Soft synth notes travel through the speakers, before the singer’s dreamy voice floods your ears.

Your hands find their way to his broad shoulders. His wings move to wrap around you protectively. You’re not sure if he even realizes that he does it – it’s such a normal thing, now, for him to shield you, to create a little cocoon for the two of you. You frown as you feel his muscles moving underneath your fingers. “You’re too tense,” you say, fingers gently kneading at the parts of his back that you can reach. “Let me give you a massage once we get home.”

He chuckles, one of his own hands coming up to capture yours. He laces your fingers together before bringing your hand up to his lips and pressing a gentle kiss against your skin. The look he gives you is so tender, the love radiating off his body so palpable, that it makes your knees feel week. “Sweet, but I’m the one who’s going to be taking care of you tonight.” You open your mouth to protest, but he tuts, and a feather flies up to shush at your lips. “No, listen. You’re driving me crazy. Every time I turn my head, I see you looking so damn beautiful that my heart stops. Makes me wanna just pull you away and rip that pretty dress off.”

You gasp at his words, a pretty blush dusting your cheeks. “Kei! People are gonna hear you!”

He shrugs, pulling you even closer and swaying your bodies lightly to the music. “Let them,” he says nonchalantly, but the glint in his eye is pure sin. He leans down so that his lips brush against the shell of your ear. You can’t help the shudder that wracks through your body as his warm breath hits your skin. “You’re so cute when you’re blushing like that. Did I make you flustered, baby?” His fingers release yours, instead gripping your chin and forcing you to meet his eyes. “Answer me, love.”

You nod, feeling small. Only Keigo can affect you like this, can reduce you to a trembling mess with just a few words.

You love it.

He smirks at your confession, pressing a kiss against your cheek before leaning his forehead against yours. “What do you say we jump ship, babe?” Your confusion must show on your face, because he continues. “I think I might die if I have to wait much longer to get my hands on you. And judging by the way you’re acting… I’d bet good money that you’re already dripping for me.”

“Kei!” You swat at his chest before burying your face in it. He laughs, one of his real, genuine laughs that makes your heart soar, before kissing the crown of your head.

“I don’t see you denying it.”

“Shut up.”

“Aw, is my cute little wife flustered?”

Wife. The word sounds so pretty rolling off his lips that you can’t resist retreating from the safety of his chest to press your lips against his. He cups your face with one of his large, rough hands and kisses you back. His wings shift to cover you up before the hand on your waist moves down to pinch at your ass – or, at least, it tries. The layers of your dress obstruct him, and he growls in frustration.

You can’t help but whine as well. You want him all the time, of course. Years of being together haven’t changed how fucking badly you want him all the time. You’d used up all your willpower behaving for the ceremony and the reception so far. You’d been good, had kept your hands to yourself throughout dinner and the toasts. But now, the mix of his body against yours, the dirty words that he’d whispered into your ear, and the cocktails running through your bloodstream were making it very hard for you to ignore the pooling heat between your legs.

You wanted him. You wanted your husband.

“Please,” you whisper. Under normal circumstances, you’d hate how whiny and pathetic you sound, but you’re too far gone to care. “Please, let’s go, Kei. Need you.”

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

A few whispered words to Rumi, and a knowing smirk from her, and you were gone. It was surprisingly easy to slip out the venue. You’d expected to be stopped by some nosy family member, but it seemed that everyone was too tipsy and having too much fun to care. Nevertheless, you had to be careful once you stepped out into the fresh night air. The number two hero’s wedding was perfect paparazzi bait. You didn’t even want to think about the feeding frenzy that the media would go into if they caught sight of you now.

The night sky was like a shield, though, and it protected you from prying eyes. You’d been discreet when picking the wedding and reception venues, and even more discreet in choosing your honeymoon destination. Tomorrow morning, you and Keigo would fly up to the mountains, where he’d rented a little cabin for the two of you. By some miracle, he’d managed to get a whole week off work – a whole week where you’d have him, entirely to yourself.

But right now, you aren’t thinking about tomorrow morning, or the lovely, peaceful honeymoon that you were about to embark on. Right now, the only thing you can think about is Keigo. Keigo, with his beautifully messy hair that moved like ocean waves as you soared through the air. There’s nothing in this world that you love more than flying with him, pressed against his sturdy body with his strong arms wrapped around you. Light pollution makes it hard to see the sky from the ground, but up here, the moon and stars are breathtaking.

Almost as breathtaking as your husband, who’s eyes are prettier than any stars could ever hope to be.

He looks down and catches you staring, taking him in with your wide, wondrous eyes. You can barely hear anything through the noise-cancelling headphones that he makes you wear whenever you fly, but his words reach you, clear as day – “I love you.”

“And I love you.” Your voice comes out small, stolen away by the rushing wind. You try again, louder this time. “I love you!”

He chuckles, chest shaking as he tries to keep his laughs contained. “You trying to one-up me? I can be loud too.” He takes a deep breath, before tipping his head back and shouting an I love you up into the heavens.

His lips are soft and sweet as candy when they dip down to meet yours. “I’m just so happy,” he whispers against you. “You make me so happy.”

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

The moment that you set foot into the penthouse, you gasp.

“Oh, Kei,” you breathe, hand flying over your mouth.

He bounces nervously as he locks up the balcony door, not meeting your eye. “Do…do you not like it?”

You march up to him and grab his face in your hands, before standing up onto your tip-toes and planting a kiss on his forehead. “I love it, baby. Really, you’ve outdone yourself.”

He perks up at the praise, kissing your lips once before his hands move down and he picks you up, clean off the ground. You can’t hold your shrieking laugh back as he spins you around, a smile lighting up his face like a god damn Christmas tree.

The house is beautiful. Really, he did outdo himself. Back when you’d first started dating, he’d had to call off your six-month-anniversary date because of a mission. You’d assured him that it was fine, that you understood, but you’d be lying if you said that you weren’t upset. He promised that he would be back in a week at the latest. You’d spent the night with your friends, eating ice cream and watching shitty movies, and left for work the next morning. You weren’t expecting him back for a few days at least, but when you opened your door after an exhausting day at work, he was there, waiting for you. Scratches on his face and bandages on his arms, but he was there. And he’d decorated your apartment with flowers and fairy lights, centered around a haphazardly made blanket fort in the center of the living room. Little candles were placed across the room, each with a red feather standing guard, making sure that the flames didn’t accidentally get knocked over and grow. After you’d gotten over your initial shock – how the hell did you get in here, Kei – you ran into his arms and squeezed him, tight. He didn’t let go of you for the entire night – his body always pressed against yours, fingers constantly entwined, even as he made you cum so many times that you forgot your own name.

It was one of your fondest memories, one that always brought a smile to your face. You’d mentioned it offhandedly last week, while you were in the weeds with wedding planning. Honestly, you didn’t think that he’d even heard what you said, with how stressed and busy the two of you were. He was picking up extra patrols to make up for his honeymoon vacation time, and you were working your ass off to get your overbearing boss off your back.

But he had heard. He heard, and he listened, because that’s just the kind of lover – the kind of husband – that Keigo is. Attentive, sweet, and intuitive. You swear, he spoils you beyond belief. You don’t even know when he got the time to decorate the apartment today, but it’s beautiful. Even more beautiful than the decorations from your six-month-anniversary, because this time, the sight is sweetened by the knowledge that this is your shared home. This isn’t just your apartment, that your friends helped sneak him into so he could fancy it up. This is your shared space, where you’ll spend the rest of your lives together. Where you’ll wake up in his arms every morning, his wings wrapped around you protectively, fragmenting the morning light into shards of red. Where you’ll make meals together and laugh at his bad cooking, where you’ll take sanctuary from the harshness of the world. This place is your home. Keigo is your home.

He finally stops spinning, but refuses to set you down. Instead, he readjusts you so that he’s carrying you bridal style. You almost laugh at how cliché it is. It feels like something out of a cheesy rom-com, but you’re so happy that you feel like you’re in one of those rom-coms.

You do laugh out loud when you see the trail of petals leading to your bedroom. Keigo feigns disappointment, dramatically sighing. “Don’t laugh, princess, you wound me.” That just makes you laugh even more, and soon, he’s joining in, burying his face in your hair as he walks the two of you towards the bed. “C’mon, I’m trying to be romantic! Quit making me laugh!”

“I can’t help it,” you giggle as he gently places you onto the bed. Thankfully, he had the common sense to not put any petals on the actual bed, but the floor is absolutely covered. Blossoms line the walls as well, along with candles that bathe the room in their gentle glow. You take a second to admire how beautiful your husband looks in the soft light. The shadows make his wings seem that much bigger as they unfurl to their full size. He looms over you, looking like the most delicious mix of devil and angel that you’ve ever seen. There’s still a playful smile on his face, but something mischievous simmers beneath it.

“Hope you didn’t forget what you said at the reception hall, baby,” he says, eyes glinting. “What was it? Hmm, something like, need you, Kei, need you to take me home and fuck me, I’m already so wet for you.”

You groan and try to bury your face in your hands, but he’s too fast. He grabs your wrists and pins them above your head, easily wrapping them with just one of his large hands. “You’re making shit up,” you pout. “I only said the first part.”

“So you admit you said it? That you need me?”

“Shut up.”

“Mm, no thanks.”

You groan again, trying to suppress your smile. There are plenty of times that you and Keigo have had “serious” sex, but you mostly find yourself like this, devolving into giggles and teasing. There’s something about him that makes you feel so safe and at ease, and you can’t help yourself from giggling at his stupid remarks. He laughs, and releases your wrists to cradle your face with both his hands. He shifts so that he’s properly on top of you, his thighs on either side of your hips, and bends down to press kisses all over your face.

“My wife,” he breathes, in between kisses. “My sweet, beautiful, amazing wife. This dress is so pretty, but let’s take it off, my love. You don’t need it anymore.”

It takes a few minutes of awkward wriggling and tugging to finally remove the lace monstrosity, but at long last, the dress ends up on the floor. Keigo’s hands are on your body in an instant, fingers trailing over the curve of your waist and snapping the waistband of your panties. “God, you’ve got such pretty little lingerie on.”

“Wanted to dress up for you,” you say, pawing at his tie and trying to loosen the knot. It makes you feel small, to be so exposed while he’s still fully dressed. Normally you love to savor in that feeling, but right now, you need to feel his bare skin against yours. “Now take your clothes off, please.”

You finally manage to loosen his tie enough to pull it over his head. After stopping for another deep kiss, your hands continue their path over his body. His suit jacket comes off next, although he has to help you gently maneuver it off his wings. His cuff links clatter to the ground as you almost viciously rip off his dress shirt, and you moan when you finally feel his warm muscles.

You’re practically grinding into each other by now. Little whines leave your lips as you shamelessly roll your hips, seeking any friction you can get. You can feel his hardness, even through his thick pants, and you chase it with vigor. He’s not much better, a light blush dusting his face as he meets your rolls with shallow thrusts of his own. “Off, off, Kei, need to feel you,” you babble, fingers desperately trying to undo this belt buckle. Breathlessly, he pushes your fingers aside and pulls his belt off, unceremoniously throwing it across the room. You half expect it to collide with a candle and set the entire building on fire, but a few feathers fly out to catch it and gently set it down.

You don’t waste a second in pulling his pants down and throwing them as well, trusting that a feather will keep it from crashing into anything. Your fingers try to pull down the waistband of his boxers, but he tuts and grabs your hand.

You look up at him with pleading eyes. “Please,” you whine.

The smile on his face is gentle beyond belief as he answers. “I told you that I was going to take care of you tonight, baby. Let me make you feel good, okay? Can I make you feel good?”

You want to protest, want to beg him to stuff your face or your cunt and fuck into you until you’re lightheaded, but Keigo’s insistent about making you cum at least twice before even thinking about his own pleasure. And you can’t deny that you’re aching for him. You’re certain that you’ve soaked through your flimsy panties by now, and your mind is hazy with want.

You nod. Keigo takes your face in his hand, gently stroking your cheek with his thumb. “Can you give me your colors too?”

You force your mind to push through the fog, force your heavy lips to move and form words. “G-green for good, yellow for slow down, red for stop.”

“Good girl.” The praise goes straight to your core, and you whine. “Oh, baby, I know I just vowed to give you everything you could ever want, but you’re so damn needy. Be patient for me, okay? Let me touch you.”

You nod obediently, but you can’t fight the urge roll your hips and feel him again. With a soft, scolding noise, he presses one of his hands into your hipbone, effectively pinning you to the mattress. Try as you might, you can’t squirm away. He’s so ridiculously strong, his muscles toned from years of training and hero work, that you’re no match for him. But it’s not so bad. You love the dominance that oozes off his body as he moves down, his hands and tongue exploring every inch of skin that they can find. His teeth nip at the sensitive spot on your neck, the spot that always makes you melt for him. You shamelessly sigh and tilt your head to give him more access.

His right hand, the one that isn’t currently pinning you to the mattress, plays with the lacy edges of your bra. He palms you through the thin fabric, making you groan and arch your back into his touch. It’s not enough, you need more, need to feel more of him before you lose your mind. He seems to read your mind, because he doesn’t even bother to unclasp the bra, electing instead to rip it clean off your body. The snap of the straps breaking makes you gasp, but you revel in the sting of the elastic bouncing back against your skin.

“Couldn’t wait,” he says, not a hint of shame on his face. “You know how much I love to tease, but fuck, I need you now.”

He’s a bit more ceremonious when he removes your panties, choosing to use a hardened feather to slice through the fabric instead of just ripping with brute force. He fucking moans at the sight of you, wet and needy for him. It sounds like absolute heaven, but you don’t have even a second to revel in it before he’s diving into you. The sudden rush of pleasure is electrifying, and you go to instinctively slam your legs shut, but Keigo’s hand is too fast again. His tongue doesn’t falter for even a second as his fingers dig into your thighs and push you open. His lips wrap around your clit and suck, and he’s outrageously loud as he moans into your sex. It’s all so much – he’s licking at you like a man on death row, coaxing little whines and gasps from your lips.

His beautiful eyes are trained on yours, pupils blow out with love and lust. He memorizes every little expression that flits across your beautiful face as he eases a finger into you, eyes only leaving your face to admire the way that your little cunt sucks him in. But he can’t tear his gaze away from you, and the way your mouth falls open, or the way that your eyes flutter and roll back. The way that your hands ball up into fists, alternating between grabbing the bedsheets and lacing through his hair. Fuck, he loves how you pull at his hair when his fingers curl up against that spongy spot inside of you that makes you see stars. Loves the little curses and gasps of his name that spill past your lips as he scissors and thrusts his digits deeper and deeper into your perfect pussy.

“Cum for me, princess,” he groans. “Please, cum for me, need you to be a good girl and cum for me.”

And, well, you did just vow to give him everything that he could ever want.

You throw your head back and almost sob as you gush all over his face and fingers. He’s insatiable, licking and fingering you all through it, desperately trying to lap up every single drop of your juices. Your body is shaking, and you whimper, the overstimulation building until it’s too much, until you’re crying out too much, Kei, ‘s too much!

“Give me your color, baby,” he says, slowing his assault against your body.

“G-green,” you stutter out, the words as shaky as your legs. “Green, don’t stop, it’s just – ah! Kei!”

Your verbal confirmation was all he needed to dive back in, sucking at you with even more vigor than before. His fingers twist and curl against your spot, and his tongue lashes at your clit. He doesn’t stop for even a second, burying himself in your heat. It’s all you can do to maintain your grip on his hair, tugging at it just the way that he loves. You’re thrust headfirst into your second orgasm of the night, crying out his name and positively sobbing at the onslaught of sensations.

When he finally pulls away, the lower part of his face is soaked with your cum. He makes a show of licking his lips clean, not breaking eye contact with you, no matter how much you blush and squirm. He saves his fingers for you, though. A gentle tap at your lips is all it takes for you to obediently open your mouth and take in his digits. You swirl your tongue around, eyes lidded with the afterglow of your pleasure.

But you’re not finished, are nowhere near finished. You suppose that you are being needy, but how could you not, when your husband looks like an absolute fucking god? The candlelight makes your cum on his face glisten beautifully. You whine and pull him in for a kiss, mashing your lips against his and greedily swiping your tongues together. It’s sinful. You can taste yourself on him, and it makes you shudder, makes you need him that much more.

“Please, please fuck me,” you beg, wrapping your legs around his slim waist and trying to pull him closer, closer, closer. “Please, Kei, need you inside me, need my husband inside me.”

“Fuck,” he breathes, so quietly that you would’ve missed it if you didn’t feel the word formed against your lips. “Fuck, baby, okay.” His hand slides between your bodies and quickly pushes his boxers down. He uses a feather to pull them all the way off, because he can’t be bothered to focus on that, not when you’re practically drooling at the sight of his cock.

Your fingers twitch, and you aren’t able to hold back any longer. Your hand finds his cock, marveling at how heavy and perfect he feels as you wrap your fingers around him and guide him towards your sopping cunt. You pause before you slide him in, though, looking up at him with wide eyes. “Can I ride you? Please?”

He curses again under his breath, practically shivering at your words. His strong hands reposition the both of you, until you’re sitting on his thigh and he’s leaning back against the headboard. He cocks an eyebrow and smirks. “Well, then? Get to work, princess.”

You roll your eyes, trying not to laugh at his antics. “What happened to Mr. Let-Me-Take-Care-Of-You?”

“He’ll come out later. If my pretty wife wants to ride me, she gets to ride me.”

You laugh for real this time, but it quickly turns into a moan as you sink yourself down on his length. No matter how many times you take him, he always overwhelms your senses, always stretches you so deliciously. You lean your forehead against his and give yourself a second to adjust, and then you’re rolling your hips, little whines leaving your lips.

“Feels so good, Kei.” You throw your head back, your fingers digging into the strong muscles of his back to anchor yourself. “You always feel so good.”

His eyes are half-lidded and dark as he takes you in. He’s memorizing every inch of your body, every detail and movement that he absolutely fucking adores. “You’re the most beautiful thing in the world,” he whispers, seemingly more to himself than you. “So beautiful. I’m so lucky.”

Your thighs burn, but you force yourself to ignore the pain. You’d rather die than stop right now. His strong arms encircle your waist, and his wings surround your bodies, ruffling with every one of your movements.

You want to ignore your exhaustion, but your husband is perceptive as ever. His hips raise up to meet you, and it sends a fresh wave of pleasure through your body. You’re shaky, though, and you’re getting sloppy.

Before you can even process what’s happening, you’re being spun over and pinned to the mattress. A gasp leaves your lips, and you whine as his cock slips out of you. Your hand reaches out and paws around wildly, searching for him through your haze. Keigo’s quick to kiss you and shush your protests, entwining his rough fingers in your searching hand and stroking his thumb against your palm.

“Relax, angel. Let me take care of it.”

He slides into you again, making you both moan. Your pussy sucks him in greedily, clenching and fluttering around him. He pauses once he bottoms out. His face buries into the crook of your neck, and he presses sweet kisses all over your skin.

You wrap your legs around his waist and squeeze, trying desperately to make him move. “Keigo, baby, please,” you whine, fingers digging into the strong muscles of his back.

He coos, cupping your face and kissing you before he readjusts himself. “Of course, pretty girl.”

His thrusts are deep and hard, so hard that they make the entire bed shake. Your eyes flutter shut, but he grips your jaw and begs you to keep them open – please, baby, look at me, need to see my pretty wife fall apart.

“You’re so fucking perfect,” he moans, teeth nipping at your lips. “So perfect, and all mine.”

“All yours,” you agree. You’re practically babbling by this point, unable to stop the noises slipping past your lips. You’re floating on a cloud, soaring through the sky, anchored only by his body against yours. “You’re so deep in me, Kei, can feel you so deep in me. Please, ‘m so close, just a lil’ bit more, Kei.”

He coos again, hand slipping down to toy with your clit. You wail, sinking your teeth into his shoulder as the coil in your stomach snaps and you gush uncontrollably. You can’t do anything but cry out for him, can’t do anything but cling onto him and shake and twitch. The feeling of you clenching around him is too much, and with a broken fuck and a cry of your name, he spills inside of you. He fucks you through it, the obscene sounds of your combined release making you feel lightheaded and weak.

He holds you for a few minutes, just like that, bodies entwined. You both pant and try to catch your breath. The weight of his body on top of yours is comforting, so you protest when he finally pulls out and sits back to admire the way that his seed drips out of you.

“Come back,” you complain. “What kind of husband doesn’t give cuddles to his wife?”

“The kind of husband who needs to clean her up,” he says with a chuckle. “C’mon, let’s go take a bath.

Your body feels boneless with exhaustion and the hazy afterglow of your three orgasms, so you’re grateful when he scoops you into his arms. You tuck your face into his neck and hum contentedly, unable to stop the giddy smile that blooms across your face.

“I love you, Kei,” you say, planting little kisses over his neck and jaw.

“I love you too, princess,” he says, grinning and poking your nose. He laughs when you scrunch it up and scowl at him. But, with how cute he looks, you just can’t hold the scowl for long. Soon, you’re giggling too.

You look up at him with so much love that it makes his heart ache. His eyes grow a bit more serious, and he dips his head to kiss at your swollen lips. “I mean it, baby. I’m so happy to spend the rest of my life with you.”
