Ellie was away for the weekend with Dina and her family leaving you and Joel with the house completely to yourselves…which was a rare occurrence these days.
You and Joel have since then moved the home studio back to the Miller-Co office. You aren’t doing much filming these days, anyway. This was a mutual decision, and this also gave Tommy the opportunity to show Joel that he could handle the business on his own come the day that you and Joel would eventually retire. But with Ellie gone for the weekend, you and Joel had the time to relax and that’s how you found yourselves spending the morning by the pool.
Joel was comfortably laying poolside, cheaters perched on his nose that was buried in the book he was reading that Ellie had recommended to him. Artemis was laying by his feet, bathing in the sun while you were lounging in the pool. You had discarded your bikini top to the pool's edge to avoid any tan lines while you were lounging on your stomach along one of the extremely comfortable, and extra durable inflatables.
Artemis had grown curious of the water as she watched you float by, and before Joel could stop her, she hopped down from the chair and trotted over to the pool's edge. She was an agile little thing, having no problem jumping right onto your bare back and curling up against your warm, sunbathed skin.
Joel shook his head, muttering under his breath as he reached for his phone so he could take a picture while you reached one hand behind your back to give her a few gentle pets.
He posted the photo to his instagram with the caption: my two sun babies 🌞💓
Ellie had texted the family group chat immediately when she saw the photo:
I hope you’re disinfecting the pool before I get home 🙄
Joel: shouldn’t you be off your phone and paying attention to Dina, kiddo? 🤔
Ellie: u text like an old man lol
Baby Love: lol. He does
Tommy: where was my invite?
Joel: I do not text like an old man 😡
-to Tommy: inappropriate
Ellie: do too 🤭
Tommy: inappropriate that I wanna come over and swim?? Get ur head out of the gutter lol
Joel: do not
Baby Love: you’re not gonna win this one, baby.
Ellie: see, even mom agrees!
Joel: there’s too many gals in this household 🙄
Ellie: yea, man! Ur outnumbered lol
Joel: don’t I know it
Tommy: I’m coming over
Joel: no you’re not
Baby Love: can you bring a case of Modelo’s?
Ellie: I don’t think Tommy knows what those are lol
Joel: how would you know what those are? 👀
Ellie: did I say something?
Tommy: why can’t u just be normal and drink Coors Lite lol
Joel: don’t start gaslighting me young lady
Baby Love: because unlike u, I have taste
Ellie: ooooh burn
Tommy: ouch 😓 I thought we were friends!
Joel: 😒
Ellie: I’m more of a Modelo gal myself
Joel: ELLIE
Baby Love: that’s my girl!
-to Tommy: we are friends 🩷 you just have shit taste in beer
Joel: where are u getting beer from
Ellie: that’s none of your beeswax
Joel: Ellie Miller, I will ground your ass so fast the second you get home
Baby Love: it was me. I’m the culprit
Tommy: I don’t forgive u
Ellie: don’t punish mom! She said I can drink as long as I’m safe 😇
Tommy: lol I’m not coming over, I changed my mind!
Baby Love: but my Modelos :(
Joel to Baby Love in a private chat:
Tumblr media
“Who the fuck do you think you’re callin’ a pussy?!” He growled from the chair, completely sitting up now with his legs swung over the side just as you quickly tucked your phone underneath your left boob and looked over your shoulder at him with a faux innocent expression on your face.
“I am, pussy.”
“Wanna say that a third time?” He challenged you, standing up with his hands planted on his hips as he approached the edge of the pool. Even Artemis sensed the tension rise so she quickly hopped off your back as soon as the raft was close to the pool's ledge.
“Artie.” You frowned, “come back. Daddy’s only messing! He’s not actually gonna do anything!” You grabbed your phone from under your boob and carefully placed it on the pools ledge so it wouldn’t get wet, and just as you were about to push the raft back to the middle of the pool to float away, Joel hand crouched down and grabbed ahold of the corner of the raft, yanking you towards him.
“I said, wanna say that a third time?” He snipped.
Oh he’s mad now, alright.
You let out a huff, rolling over onto your back so your bare tits were on full display with your arms languidly crossed behind your head as you peered up at him through your sunglasses, smirk plastered on your pretty lips, “daddy’s a pussy and he’s not gonna do anything about it.” You chimed.
“Fuckin’ little brat.” He muttered as he pushed your raft away from the ledge before he dove in underneath it.
You quickly flipped over onto your stomach, pathetically attempting to paddle away just as he resurfaced with his face inches away from your dangling ankles. You let out a playful squeal when he nibbles on your calf as his big hands and broad arms easily slide up your thighs, thumbs looping through the flimsy strings that are barely holding your bikini bottoms together. Even in the deep end of the pool, Joel is standing, more like…looming over the raft and casting a dark shadow over your bare back.
“Don’t think ya heard me the first time, baby love.” He rasps, yanking your bikini bottoms down swiftly over your ass and thighs, “said that you had ‘bout five seconds to take these flimsy ass bikini bottoms off before I did it for you.” He tuts, grasping the outside of your thighs as he pulls you further down the length of the raft as if you’re just a measly rag doll. “And then what do ya do?” He asks, not needing a response.
“You call me a fuckin’ pussy.” He bends over, harshly biting at your left cheek, leaving visible indentations in your skin from his canines, “slutty little brat my girl is, hmm?” He teases, biting down on the right cheek as you let out a squeal.
He pulls back, marveling at his work before he brings the palm of his hand down against the meatiest part of your left cheek hard enough to send your back arching in surprise. He watches your plush skin recoil before he does it again, and then the same to the right cheek.
“I’m—I’m sorry, daddy! You aren’t a pussy! Not even close to being one!”
“You ain't sorry, baby love. Cus’ this is what you wanted all along, right? Wanted your daddy to come in here and teach his bratty little slut a lesson? Well, your wish is comin’ true!” He chuckles, using his thumbs to spread your cheeks apart before he spits a glob of saliva between them, watching it drool and drip between your ass and thighs. “Show me your fuckin’ pussy, baby love. Be a good girl now for daddy.”
“Yes, daddy.” You mewled, “you got me. It was my plan all along.” you suppress a giggle, lifting yourself up on your elbows as you spread your thighs apart, arching your back further so he had a clear and direct view of your pussy. “You gonna give my pussy a kiss daddy? I’m really sorry.” He doesn’t need to see your face to know that you’re pouting.
He scoffs, dropping his hands down from your ass to spread you open further. He intently watches the way your little hole pulses under his harsh stare, begging for any form of stimulation. “You think I’m gonna give your pussy a kiss, baby love? Think you deserve that?” He snickers, leaning in to drag his nose right through your slick folds, inhaling deeply before he pulls back, “think you oughta just take whatever daddy fuckin’ gives ya, sweet girl.”
“Oh, fuck.” You whimpered, dropping your head between your shoulders, “Daddy, please. I’m so sorry for calling you a pussy! I’ll—I’ll never do it again, I swear!”
“Hush up, baby love. Quit your whinin’ and take what daddy fuckin’ gives you.” He growled. It was a miracle that even with his added weight to the float, the damn thing didn’t pop from the pressure as he wasted no time to slip two of his thick fingers inside of your pussy till they were knuckle deep with his palm pressing flat between the apex of your thighs. You felt the weight of his chest and shoulders pressing into your back while his fingers shallowly thrusted inside of you at a merciless pace, scissoring you open with each thrust, creating ripples in the water below the raft.
O—oh—oh fuck! Fuck! Fuccck!” You cried out, lurching forward as his fingers pistoned inside of you, “daddy, please! Please! I’m sorry!” Your eyes rolled back in your skull when he crooks his fingers, curling them against the spongy spot inside of you that has you seeing spots of stars cloud your vision.
He’s leaned over you completely now in a possessive manner. His lips at your ear, teeth nipping and biting anywhere they can, “if you’re a good fuckin’ slut for daddy, maybe he’ll reward you with his cock, because you and I both know that’s what my girl wants is her daddy’s thick cock splittin’ her in fuckin’ half. Ain’t that right, baby love?”
“YES!” You yelled, voice strained and on the verge of cracking as you started to roll your hips back against his hand, meeting the harsh thrusts of his fingers just as the back gate opened—
“Hey! I brought the Modelos—OH FUCK!” Tommy yelled in surprise, nearly dropping the case of beer in his arms at the sight of you coming undone around Joel’s fingers.
“GOD DAMMIT, TOMMY! I FUCKIN’ SAID YOU COULDN’T COME OVER!” Joel snapped, thrusting his fingers faster as he briefly glanced over his shoulder at his brother, “can’t ya damn well see I’m a little busy punishin’ my girl for bein’ a fuckin’ brat?!”
You weakly waved in Tommy’s direction, before completely giving into the pleasure with a blissed out look plastered on your face, “pass me one of those when we’re done! I’m parched!”
“Yeah, you’re fuckin’ parched alright.” Joel growled against your ear.
“Some things never change, ain’t that right Artie?” Tommy snickered as he attempted to crouch down and pet her, but she hissed and swatted at his hand.
“TOMMY!” Joel snapped, using his freehand to push his swim trunks over his hips so that he could replace his fingers with his cock. “Make yourself useful and gimme one of those beers, would ya!” He spit into his palm as his cock sprang free and slapped up against his stomach. He gave the base of his cock a few quick pumps before he slipped his fingers out of you, your pussy made a wet squelching noise as he slowly fed you his cock, inch by inch, stretching you open till he was bottomed out with his hips firmly pressed against your ass. The float had deflated considerably, but man, it was a trooper.
Tommy walked over, beer in hand, doing his best to not smirk at the scene unfolding before him as he held the beer out in Joel’s direction. “What did she do this time?” He mused.
Joel snatched the beer from his hand, twisting the cap off with his teeth before he took a swig, bringing his freehand down against your ass.
“I called him—fuck.” You moaned deeply, lip harshly taken between your teeth when he stretched you open. God, did you love your man’s cock.
“She called me a fuckin’ pussy.” Joel snapped his hips forward with his hand acting as an anchor around your hip. He took another swig from the bottle, blunt fingernails digging into your skin, “now fuck yourself on daddy’s cock like the good little slut that you are, baby love.”

I realized the other day that this little ditty I made had its second birthday the other day and thought it would be cute to redraw it for the occasion!
A lot of things have changed but one thing that will stay the same is how one should not fling flasks of chemicals around in a lab
Vinh is from @prometheanglory and Roza is from @briarrosescurse (but u already that)

Welcome to Germany, Mrs. Presley
A Sarge & lil Mama fic
Tumblr media
Summary: After the birth of your firstborn twins and his subsequent deployment, you and Elvis reunite for the first time at a German Airport. Sweeping romantic scores and idyllic kisses in the rain may have to wait for hungry babies and overly full breasts…the latter problem your husband may or may not have a chivalrous desire to aid you with
Warnings; yes, this is the lactation “kink” you were promised, I tried to not make it icky, I swear I did, but beware if that’s not your thing 💋
Also note: I will be changing lil mama in this series eventually to an original character instead of reader insert. This one has remained an insert as I started it that way, although the reader is referred to by the name “Elaine” at the very end 🥂
“Welcome to Germany, Mrs. Presley!” the kind hearted stewardess pulled you away from your panicked survey through the window of the crowd on the tarmac. Prompted by the stewardess’ concerned smile you turned yourself to the task at hand -bundling up the babies in their carriers to prepare them for the torrent of snow outside. 
October born Memphian babies as they are, they’ve barely seen the outside of Graceland as the season turned cold, and impromptu as this flight has been, you were still prepared with blankets and woolen caps and fuzzy socks on their tiny feet. With all these precautions in place only their noses were susceptible to freezing off in the blizzard and that really couldn’t be helped without suffocating them and- oh god, you were a nervous wreck. 
Elvis had been arranging for you to join him in Germany since he married you, right after going into the army, it had always been the plan. But his first plan -to make a family with you, out of you- had worked a little too well, and you had been stuck at home with a complicated pregnancy of twins contracted on the wedding night, a terrible bout of mastitis following that, while he got shipped off across the globe. Evocative letters and the few stilted phone calls were all that had kept you going, a keen awareness that both of these could be intercepted having cooled the initial honeymoon ardour of your arranged union. A kind friend had alerted you to these available seats on this commercial airline and, tired of waiting for arrangement to come together for private jets, you’d torn apart your room to pack and roped Dodger into being a traveling companion and pack mule, and the four of you made it to the terminal with ten minutes to spare. Vernon had called ahead to tell his son that his young wife was hauling herself and her twins over the ocean posthaste, and you hoped to god that Elvis' previous insistence on you waiting to take a private jet had been out of concern for your comfort, not desire to prolong separation. 
When you’d said as much aloud to his grandmother she’d scowled at you and made a significant face at the twins, as if to remind you that he’d been the one hell bent on having you, not the other way around. 
You scan the waiting crowd outside in hopes of seeing him, noticing multiple fan signs held aloft in greeting for you and his babies, and wondered how rumors could spread that fast. And there was always the shock you felt that some people would freeze their toes off just to catch a glimpse of the gal Elvis the Pelvis had wedded and bedded. 
You grab a baby carrier in each hand, your “yittle” hands and arms having grown strong and defined in the past months just from hauling your progeny around, and Dodger determinedly manages the luggage. You bump between the airplane seats, shuffling sideways and maneuvering yourself and your precious load, smiling when making eye contact with one gawking passenger after another, even having to make small talk when the disembarking line stalls only a couple yards away from the exit door. There’s a bottle neck happening up there, just out of view,  no more passengers managing to get out the door and passed a charmingly stuttering young husband who’s giving the plane Captain the same working over he gave his commanding officer - the one that procured him a furlough to come pick his wife up from the airport with zero notice. 
“Elvis!” you holler, ignoring the fascinated way people’s necks swivel to watch two individuals they've only read both filthy and devine things about in the newspapers interacting in real time. 
“Mamas! that really you?” a very darling and familiar voice carries over a couple dozen heads in the tubular space and it makes you want to giggle over how desperate he sounds. Like he’s rescuing you from the lion’s den instead of a commercial airline. 
Elvis has a massive trust and appreciation for the common man, the set he came from, except when it comes to their treatment of you. Public feeling towards you has been exacerbated negatively by the newspapers stirring up filth and he’s nearly gone nuts with worry in the ten hours it took the plane to arrive in Germany. 
“Yessir, it’s me alright.” you yell after a giggle and the rest of the crowd joins in good naturedly.
“W-w-well, well come o-on o-o-out then!” he booms in exasperation. 
“Can’t.” you holler, “you’re clogging the drain, daddy.” 
“Oh well, I’ll be-“ and then there’s a sudden shuffling and the Captain starts waving people on again.
You make eye contact with a withered little lady who is right up ahead of you, her ancient smile lines craggy and you feel a little validated as she alone beams at you from where she is still pressed against the side of her equally weathered fella. You’ve found it’s this ancient generation, the one before the commercialized, sterilized, American household set, who didn’t really bat an eye upon reading a tapped phone transcript of Elvis assuring you that he’s “gonna stuff your yittle cunt to the brim as soon as you’re back with me again, gonna pump you full, darlin. Yer gonna be gushin out with every rut but I ain’t gonna stop, ain’t gonna stop till we’re half dead the both of us, and you got a gallon of baby gravy leakin outta ya. I swear it lil mama, I’ll get you full again, just hang in there, hang in there, oh goddamn, I hear ya whinin, those tiny fingers of yourn ain’t doin near enough, are they….”
‘Soon as you were back with him. That was the promise, and here he was now, he couldn’t even wait for you to disembark before trying to get to you. And the weathered dame smiles at you, and you wonder if she’s thinking of the times she rolled in the hay with her man, sat on him under a blistering sun when he was working his tractor, maybe made a dozen children in a room shared with two other couples. Back when no one gasped at the notion that married couples must entwine and rut and spew in order to make those “three little curly heads in a row” that everyone still sought after. 
She looks happy for you, she looks passed you back at Dodger and you know grandma is proud that someone’s out there not being a hypocrite and just acknowledging, revelling even, in the fact that marriage is a very primal thing.
Elvis, feels close to vomiting as he smiles and waves and even signs a few crinkled napkins as people file past him onto the jetbridge, standing ramrod straight in his uniform beside the rest of the plane crew who politely act as if he’s a member, not an embarrassingly frantic husband. A famous, frantic husband. A husband who keeps spinning his service cover round and round by the bill in desperate need to see his little woman come into view. 
He’d left you to fend for yourself at Graceland, still hemorrhaging and fighting a life threatening infection in those pretty tits of yours that he had been so sure would feed his children as dutifully as the rest of you had proven to be. But they’d rebelled, they’d swelled up, they’d grown hard knots and made you sob in pain and still you went down to the Memphis train station and clutched his hand smilingly until the locomotive's gaining speed had torn him from your grip. He’d never been more proud of a human in all his life. And then he’d been worried sick ever after. 
Not even married a year and he had inadvertently broken his promise that you’d always have him, always be a family, never be apart if you’d just be his wife. You’re healthy now, you’d assured him over the phone. Been feeding the children like a prize milk cow, even feel well enough to go down to the Graceland gates and stand and chat with the fans, have even stuck your dainty hand down south and played with the previously torn little petals of your cunt. You assure him all is back to normal. 
You can be a dirty, dirty liar, though, you don’t know it but Elvis does, he has seen the way you convince yourself you are grand so others don’t worry, when you’re not well at all. Your welfare and wellbeing is hai to ascertain, he’s your husband and he’ll be the judge of that, thank you very much. If he could just see you over all these ‘tarnal heads —
—god what a vision. His wife. Twelve hours on a plane and all it cost you was a droop to your eyelids that vanishes the moment you catch sight of him. That old spark in your eyes lights up and your face burns red as a smile splits your cheeks apart and he loves you so badly, loves knowing this ravenous joy hasn’t caressed your face since last time you saw him, he alone provokes that look. 
You are easily managing two carriers between the rows of seats and your hat is fetchingly tilted, your hair is curled and your coat is the one he ordered from the magazine and he’s gonna have fun peeling those nylons off your legs and — there’s still an ocean of people between you two but despite your moderate height, you two manage to keep the grinning eye contact as the distance jostles and ebbs closes and he plucks you forward by a outstretched hand, making you trip over your heels for the first time in this whole ordeal and he squats with you to let you set the carriers on the ground and before you can rise back up to your height, he’s kissing you ravenously in front of all the onlookers. My god he is comforting, his hands cup your cheeks with fevered concern and his warm tongue plunges familiarly and without prelude, his powerful embrace engulfs you, crushing you into himself like he’s gonna tuck you inside his heart. He’s your sanctuary and you slump into him, nearly knocking his hat off in your desperation to rake through his growing locks. 
“Ma darling” he pants against your cheek and you both rise up from your semi squat. 
Below on the tarmac, through the glass of the jetway, a dozen flashbulbs pop to capture this moment, the crowd of fans is screaming and the crew beside him titters. It’s what you signed up for, life and love in the fishbowl of fame, and he gives you an apologetic grin before you smooch it off him, and move to the side so grandma Dodger can pat his face. He gives you his arm and you both swing up a child apiece with ease, shuffling along the jetway to the immense relief of the remaining passengers. He can’t choose where to look, your face or down at the infant swinging at his side, peering over to look at Miss Ella as you carry her. He finally looks straight as the terminal comes into view, a literal light at the end of a tunnel, and he gnaws his lip and slows his stride and squeezes your hand rhythmically. 
“I’m sorry it’s so public.” you murmur, knowing a private jet would have spared him all this. “I just couldn’t bare it any more.” 
And even if he had been of a mind to begrudge you your rash action, hearing you unabashedly admit you missed him that much soothes everyone little worry he has harbored that now you’ve got these babies you wanted, you may have gone off the idea of a husband. Particularly one as testy and hungry as he can be. He is starving for you and it only grows as he registers in relief that you’re eyeing him up appraisingly, taking in the adjustments that “rigorous army life” has made on his physique and face. 
He looks older, he knows that, but not in the way of it being the sad, sulking, pudgy fella of before, he’s chiseled and broad and virulent now and he sees you lick your lips in between smiles. You married a sad boy, you’re returning to a capable man. You knock your forehead against the patch at his shoulder like an interested cat and he snickers happily just as you both walk into the gauntlet of the terminal. 
“C'mon Dodger, stick close.” he commands her and keeps craning his neck to make sure she’s not separated by the crowd despite her gripes that she’s quite capable. 
“Don’t mind me,” she says, “it’s your wife you should be frettin’ bout, get ‘er a room to relieve them yams of hers, they’re near burstin and she’ll catch another bout of the clogged ducts if she keeps being so damn prudish bout nursin in public-“
“W-what the hell is all this bout y-you, you -?” Elvis comes to a full halt in the middle of the busy thoroughfare and looks frantically from her to you. You want to curse her for her tactlessness in scaring him after all the fretting he’s subjected himself to, but in all honesty, you have not nursed in eight hours and the agony you forgot for a brief moment upon seeing him again comes to the fore at the mere mention of your engorged state. You can feel yourself leaking and each shuffle rubs the fabric pads against your nipples and makes you want to whimper. 
“I need a room to feed the babies before we get in a car.” you whisper the plain truth in his ear while standing atiptoe as more flashbulbs go off, capturing his look of recognition and the scarlet flush that burns his face at your confession. The tell tale vein in his neck thumps to life and you aren’t sure if it’s panic or desire sending his adrenaline through the roof. Neither will the captions under the photos in tomorrow morning’s paper. 
The thought of his wife’s breasts full and heavy and warm with his hands still so cold from the winter chill makes him want to hold them and bury his chilled nose between them and -he needs to get you a room. Hates himself for being so hungry for you when your eyes are watering upon closer inspection and his children must be close to starving. Oh god, how often do infants eat? Will they be stunted for having to wait? He’ll spank the hell outta you if this little plane ride costs Jesse or Ella a single inch of height or a roll of fat. 
You can see all this chaos flit underneath his crimson blush until Dodger grunts in so suggestive a way that it rouses him and suddenly he’s a man on a mission, the same man who got a furlough in record time and arranged your status on the board of the March of Dimes. 
Mr- umm, that’s Private now- Presley snaps his fingers and tells a man he needs a room, the man gets him a whole lounge, Elvis gets you all guided through a throng to it, and Elvis thanks the man with such charming profusion the fella downright forgets the brusque order preceding it. 
He spins around a few times in the lounge as if he can’t figure out what to fix first and you laugh and make your way to the couch, setting your carrier down and starting to undo your heavy mink. 
“Right, right.” he mutters as the obvious hits him, your presence working that old steady calm on him. He feels like he takes his first true breath of German air then and sets to work. 
Always, he doesn’t know how you manage it for him, but a soft smile, a head tilt and eyebrow arched in gentle direction and suddenly he’s got his feet back under him, even here as he arranges his children by the sofa -dear god he has kids, those are his kids-  
and helps you with your coat. You sit yourself down and he stands ready for the next softly spoken order.
“Could you help me unbuckle them, darling?” your sweet guidance spurs him and he’s squatting, face to face with his baby he hasn’t seen since it was fresh popped into the world.
“Hey lil mister.” he whispers, half astounded to see something so little and fragile with his eyes staring back from beneath a mountain of blankets. He has to will his hands not to shake and has to try about five times to get the buckle undone, he’s being so timid about the clasp and maybe pushing too hard on his baby son’s belly. He swivels around to you after he loses track of time watching his child stare back, but baby boy starts to scowl and of course, of course there’s a point to this, so he swivels back to you and finds you undoing the buttons of your silk blouse and you’re so damn lovely as the inches of creamy skin begins to swell into view and he longs to touch and then there’s a wet patch and those pretty little nipples peek into view and a dribble of white from them startles him, and he makes a noise he hasn’t ever heard himself make. 
“Whoops!” you laugh pained, leaking and swiping the flood from the one released breast before popping the wet finger in your mouth. 
You reach for the baby and he pulls his gaze from your leaking breast to hand him over, and you smile shyly in thanks, and he wonders if it embarrasses you for him to watch but he can’t help it, you look so perfectly in your element as you tuck Jesse in the crook of your elbow as your other hand guides your nipple into his shiny little mouth. He latches on eager and you moan in pain and relief. Elvis hears his own breath come out in a ragged exhale as if he were sharing your feeling. 
“This place sells soft drinks, yeah?” Dodger’s voice shakes him like a rocket going off as he remembers his grandma is here too, he nearly falls back on his ass in his haste to turn towards her.
“Yes’m, reckon they do.” he agrees, “different currency though, and you’ll get mobbed by the press outside.”
“Well, hand me some of them Nazi bills or whatever they use over here.”
“Dodger-“
“Hush boy, I’m in need of a coke and you’re in need of a minute alone with your family, I can handle it.” she makes a motion with her hand and he stands up and digs in his pocket and places enough currency in her palm to buy her a coke and a few mink coats, too.
She rolls her wise eyes and he suddenly hugs her hard, missing her and the home she represents. She strokes his back for a good minute before patting him and disentangling, going straight to the door and exiting without giving the sea of cameras even a sliver of a view of your makeshift oasis. 
Poor little Ella has begun to fuss in her carriage and he spins around and drops to his knees to tend her, joints cracking hard against the frigid airport tile. 
“No, no, no you’re ok my girl, you’re gonna be ok, oh no, oh shh it’s ok, it’s ok.” his worry for his daughter makes him forget his unease and he collects her out of her own mound of fluffy blankets and hold her to him, rocks her back and forth on his knees, face looking torn between adoration and terror that she won’t be pacified. It’s just a small cry and some baby faced puckering whimpers but you’ve never seen him look more devastated that she won’t respond. “How long’s it been since ya fed her?” he asks, voice raised and tone a little harsh. 
“Just a couple hours,” you soothe, running a pacifying foot up the top of his thigh since your hands are occupied, he understands the gesture for what it is and his posture softens and he starts patting Ella more confidently. “I brought formula, Elvis, it’s just me that needed…”
“Course, course.” he swallows and hates how unsure he is, how stilted he’s making everything by this strange brand of insecurity, “I’m sorry for bein’ all -for doubtin your capabilities.” he makes amends and you can’t help but feel terrible for the lost look on his face. “I don’t got any nowhere to speak from, do I? -leavin my wife and children behind after all I promised.”
“You didn’t leave.” you reiterate the point you’ve hammered on him over the phone a dozen times, putting Jesse on your shoulder to burp him as he was so lackadaisical in his nursing he nearly fell asleep, “You were commanded away, and no one here blamed you for that except yourself, and I forbid it.”
“It weren’t right-“ he’s got Ella calmed down now he’s looking down at her with all of the remorse of a man who orchestrated a family for himself and then left them high and dry the minute they came to fruition. 
“-really Elvis, I forbid it, that kinda talk,” you whisper and he looks up at you with those big eyes and a curious set to his mouth, like he wants to protest your command but it’s also everything he needs and more, “I forbid it ruining here and now, what we’ve got now -which is us, together, just as you promised. This!” you gesture between his kneeling form and yourself, each with a child you so lovingly made, “This is what your promised me, or nearly, if you could just, just not dwell on it any longer. Be here with me, please?”
He grabs your hand from Jesse’s little back and kisses your knuckles fervently, all that gentlemanly sweetness he showed you on your wedding night when he told you that it would hurt, but he’d give you babies and love and joy and forever in return. You’d sat atop him and done the deed yourself, impaling your virgin body on every hefty inch of him, and in return he had given you those babies you’d always wanted. And love, he gave you that, security, direction and a devotion you weren’t quite sure you had a large enough heart to match, but my god you wanted to try. 
“Yes, yes Darlin I - oh god you’re…you’re d-d-dripping all over the place.” the mood shifts towards comic as he watches your neglected breast splutter out sweet milk into your silk shirt and you offer him Jesse in exchange for Ella. 
Jesse’s head lolls back alarmingly once his daddy’s got him, his blue eyes half lidded in a mommy’s milk coma. Elvis giggles at it. “Son of mine, you’re plastered.” he takes an elegant finger and traces the tiny nose down to the little button chin, “Guess I should tuck him back in.” he sighs regretfully, hating having him out of his arms for even a minute, but also knowing he needs to get you back to the house in order to have any real and extended privacy. 
You hiss as Ella latches on vigorously, and he looks up from his work on Jesse’s carrier in concern.
 “All’s good.” you put on a brave smile, the one you gave him as the contractions started to hit, the one you gave him when you sank down on him fully for the first time and tried to be brave about the feeling of a cucumber in your keyhole. He may have not had that much quality time with his family as a whole so far, but he’s been studying you for years. He spots bullshit.
“You’re dirty little liar.” he tsks but he can’t help his smile, you look so bashful and then haughty about it.
“I just, I hope she’s hungrier than him.” you explain, and somehow you have a great deal of elegance about you, he thinks, sitting in your pressed skirt and heels and hat and curls with your shirt open and leaking ripe tits gushing at every mewling sound the infants let out. Its fascinating to him just how, well -full- they look, how it’s like a leaky faucet or a break in the hose or…precum, dribbling and oozing without coaxing and it’s making your whole breast shiny from the mess of it and -he can’t help it, he licks his lips, and you don’t miss it, even as he blushes scarlet at the desire that flashed across his brain. 
You don’t out him, the jive of your relationship still feeling somehow precarious, like there’s a old shyness in the air. You pat at Ella’s bottom encouragingly, trying to keep her eager as her daddy still kneels and watches. She’s already starting to slow. And your breasts ache, they ache terribly still despite the munchkin’s having their dinner. You wonder about this shyness, you wonder about the way he’s shifting on the floor, the way his licked lips shimmer and the way you have a sneaking suspicion that the force of both your yearnings is so strong you’re playing safe until it can explode in some contained environment.
At some point he stopped just watching and took to leaning over your lap, the better to watch and stroke little Ella’s cheek as she sucks down what you give her. “A goddamn miracle, she is.” he whispers in awe and you nod in agreement, “We made this.” he states as if in shock, “We made these!” he boyishly exclaims, swiveling back to look at a conked out little Jesse before he turns back to you. 
“We did indeed.” you grin warmly and he bites his lip, hands running up and down your thighs atop your skirt. 
The familiarity of his old touchiness soothes you, and you lean over to kiss him gently, Ella already having let the nipple slip from her lips, sated with a measly meal after all that formula. You dribble on the cuff of his sleeve during the kiss and his eyes lock on the white stain seeping into the wool. You watch as he impulsively brings the sleeve to his mouth and sucks the moisture. His eyes blow wide, and you suck in a breath. 
“I d-dunno what I-I-“ he protests his rash action.
“No, no, Elvis, would you -do you…” you lick your own lips and look down at Ella as she snoozes in a tremptohan dream, your engorged breast neglected. 
You gently set her beside you on the couch while he clutches at your legs, waiting breathless to see if your mind is as compatibly wicked as his own. 
“I need you, Elvis, I really do, please.” you whisper it so pained that he’s drawn closer as if it were a sirens sing -his woman needs him. “It’s not wrong, is it?” 
All you’ve ever learned about any of this has been from him and the good book, and neither said nothin about forbidding anything done between couples in love. His tongue darts out and he shakes his head vehemently, even as his face burns scarlet across his cheekbones. 
It’s like a slow movie kiss, the way you both gravitate towards each other, he rising up higher on his knees and leaning over your lap and you inclining yourself towards him. 
You lift up a heavy breast and he’s so close to it his hot breath makes your wet nipple burn and tighten impossibly more, he pauses, open mouth puckered right before, eyes flicking up to yours with a wild need for assurance. 
You put your other hand to the back of his head, knocking off his army hat and lacing your fingers through his shorn locks, gripping and guiding him that last inch, and then he’s there, his searing mouth engulfing you just as you remember from when you were a milkless maid. 
“Please, please.” you gasp out, pushing his head closer and you see the broad line of his sturdy back ripple beneath his army greens in a shudder before he gives you what you need, mouth tightening, tongue dipping, cheeks hollowing. He sucks. 
You moan in agonized relief, tugging his hair unconsciously and he moans back as the shockingly sweet deluge of you coats his tongue and slides down his throat. His heavy lidded eyes fly open at the taste, so sweet and refreshing and he finds that it’s not just the heady eroticism of it, or even the soothing closeness you’re both finally managing here and now that makes him float -it’s the truly comforting state of being clasped to your breast like this and being looked down upon so adoringly by the mother of his children. His arms wind round your waist and he locks his hands together at the small of you back. You’re a wonder of creations, an unfairly beautiful creature with a near unbearably impressive use. Rather like your tits, he thinks, and that makes him snicker around you little bud and you “oh ha!“ prettily in surprise at the vibration before settling and stroking his face. 
“That’s it, that’s perfect, daddy, please a little more.” you whisper as he guzzles down his children’s sustainance.
He wouldn’t think of stopping, redoubles his efforts just to show you how invested he is, that this is no favor he is doing you. The painful throb between his legs, pressing as it is against your shin, ought to be proof enough to you he finds this nothing less than agreeable. His frostburned nose is warming up, nestled against burning hot flesh as it is, and he takes a chilled hand away from your waist to reach out and grasp your other breast. You gasp in shock and pain as out dribbles more milk, running in rivulets over and between his knuckles, down to his wrist.
“Oh my lord, there’s so much.” he groans in appreciation, greedily switching his spigot of choice and latching onto the other tit eagerly and your head falls back from the overwhelming feel of being taken care of. 
“So good to me.” you marvel, dragging your hands through his hair, anchoring him still to you and he hums, his eyes growing heavy and milk settling warm and calming in his gut. “Always so good to me.” 
You’re not suprised to feel the hot splash of what must be a tear on your breast, his sniffles just a little audible above the lewd noises of his suction and moans. This is you two, this is back to how it ought to be. You can feel him as he settles back into place with you, his whole body relaxing and leaning in. You flex your foot and it makes your leg brush against where he’s pressed to you and he bucks against your shin helplessly, a hand back on your waist and the other hefting your breast to his mouth. He ruts against your leg, months of absence and abstinence turning him into something no better than a dog in heat as he leans across your lap. 
He pulls away with a gasp as if he’s been submerged this whole time. His face is glossy and his lips puffy and the collar of his shirt is wet from some of the milk he couldn’t catch. He looks wrecked and dazed and you thumb at the messy corner of his mouth. He reaches out and squeezes the breast he just deflated and laughs at the way it sags.
“Don’t.” you whine, a little shy but he just giggles harder and keeps jiggling it until you have to laugh, too.
“You all better now?” he asks soft, and your face is swimming in front of him, his hand staggers upwards on its way to clasp your cheek.
“Heavens, are you milk drunk?” you laugh, his whole expression hilariously childlike.
“Feel a lil funny.” he nods, slumping back on his knees but keeping his hands on your knees. 
“That is becasue all the blood is down there.” your shiny black shoe toe nudges the tent in his pants and he grins bashfully. 
“Well, hang on now!” he speaks up after a moment, frowning at one of your breasts and you look down to find a bead of milk gathering to drip again, “I just drained you!” he protests with wounded pride to your offending breast, “I just drained ya, and you're already drippin, what’s the big idea?”
“Elvis baby,” you laugh merrily, “It makes up to replace what comes out. Nursing encourages more production.”
“Sure but -but this is excessive!” he’s being louder than usual, inhibitions gone out the window the minute he’s sucked titties like a starving newborn while wearing his country’s uniform. “Hell, they ain’t gonna win this time.” he shakes his head and leans in again, “Gonna keep you comfy now you’re here wi’me.” he swears competitively before latching on again to the fuller breast and swallowing down the fresh brewed batch. 
You can feel the relief mounting in your chest as that final little bit gets drained, soon there won’t be any more for him to suck out, so while you can, you take the opportunity afforded to you, one you never thought you’d have. You place your hand against his throat to feel it work as he swallows you down, a motion he is familiar with, one he does around your throat every time you swallow his release. It makes him growl in want and he laps around your bud as he ruts and stares deep into your bright eyes. The fan of his eyelashes flutter against your breast and you push back his hair, thumbing at his eyebrows, he goes a tad crosseyed as his pupils blow out and suddenly the desire for a nap is mighty powerful in him. He giggles, nipple falling from his lips, and you giggle too, through your blush, and cradle his head.
A hard knock on the door snaps both this pretty moment and the line of drool from his lips to your nipple. He rolls and scoots out of your lap and back on his ass like a soldier out of his foxhole and you hear Dodger’s voice saying something about the car being ready through the muffle of the partition. 
“Right, right, ok.” Elvis hollers, vigorously wiping at his mouth with the back of his hand as he watches you do up your soaked shirt with nimble fingers. 
“You’re really drunk, I think. You sure you’re alright?” you murmur, watching as he blinks and shakes his head as if he’s got water in an ear. 
“Maybe.” he hiccups and then looks horrified by it, “Lordy, really don’t know what’s wrong with me, I-I-ill be fine i j-just a lil…what’s in that stuff anyway?” he nods at your now (sadly, deplorably, regretfully, criminally) covered breasts.
“Nutrients and sugar, I guess.” you chuckle, choosing to strap Ella in yourself, since he seems a little woozy. 
“More like moonshine.” he gripes and then gasps in shock and you see what he does about the same time, a massive wet patch on the crotch of his khakis that he pokes at as if he isn’t sure when he’d spilled a drink in his lap. 
“You didn’t!” you exclaim in gleeful shock and he gives you a warning look but you’re too far gone in smug satisfaction at making him blow a load just from tiddy sucking that you keep grinning down at him manically. 
“I-i-I didn’t!” he insists, flustered and bewildered, “I don’t remember doin it! Wasn’t even touching m’slef.”
“You looked pretty happy there for a minute.” you tease merciless.
“Hell mama, how am I gonna stand up without makin it run ery’where? Gonna be goddamn humiliatin goin out there with wet pants.”
“Your jacket covers that area.” you soothe, ascertaining that the patch is high enough up. 
“Not when I stand up it won’t, whole load is gonna run down ma leg an’drip on the floor. That’s three loooong months worth of cream right there, lil mama.” 
Dodger knocks again and he looks up at you half panicked, “I’m coming in, all this press doin my head in.” she hollers in warning.
“Yes of course, come on in!” you encourage her while reaching down into the carrier and snagging the burp cloth, “Here, sop it up!” you hiss at him, extending the cotton cloth and he looks at it incredulous for a brief moment before the door opens and he spins away to shove his hand and the fabric down his pants and collect the mess so it doesn’t streak his pant leg upon standing up. 
He has to give ya credit, it sorta works. He pulls the sodden rag out of his waistband and turns around to see his grandmother helping collect the luggage and you smoothing out the wrinkles in your skirt. He thinks he sees a shiny patch of fluid on the shin of your nylons. He shivers again. 
Dodger makes no comment on your wet blouse, she expected as much and the mink you don again covers it just fine. Elvis she observes with a critical eye and a shake of her head, he’s a hopeless case really. He looks a mess, not in any particularly blatant way, just the dazed light in his eyes and the plump of his lips and the wet around his collar, the glow to his cheeks. He looks like he just enjoyed himself somehow, though the HOW remains a bit nebulous. One can only hope the papers put it down to familial affection. 
There are reporters from every paper outside, American and German and British, and then the fans to boot. It’s all rather rude just to plunge ahead through the well wishes and welcomes so you and he walk arm and arm through it all, a baby carrier strategically carried in front of him, and dish out pithy replies to an abundance of questions. 
-“You look lovely, Mrs Presley! So glad to see you recovered!”
-“Oh my god I can’t believe it’s them!”
-“Did she really fly commercial?”
-“How do you feel about her going spring unaccompanied, Elvis?”
“She weren’t unaccompanied,” he shakes his head, “she was with my Grandma.”
-“Can we see the babies?”
“Sure ya can!” he tugs the blanket down past Ella’s chin but as the bulbs go off and her eyes crinkle sadly he quickly snaps back the hood of the carrier, “Aww, she ain’t a fan of your lights, man.” he apologizes, a huge smile on his face as the crowd coos and he almost forgets in his pride to not raise the carrier up and expose his accident. 
“You look a little, uh, wet, Elvis.” an oft encountered American journalist has the audacity to reach out and touch the soaked collar of his shirt, a shit eating grin on his face. 
Elvis tenses and his stride beside you gains speed but the slimey columnist keeps pace, “So much meltin snow out there, man,” uour husband tries to grin for the cameras, “I’m from Memphis, I dunno how to handle that stuff, gets on ma trousers and collar and er’ryrhing.”
“Sure, sure.” the reporter nods, “Bet you’re glad to have your wife on this side of the pond but there’s gonna be a lotta disappointed Frauleins.”  
“They won’t be disappointed for long once they get to know ‘er.” Elvis states with jovial certainty. You can’t help but beam.
“You can’t blame them for being sore,” the guy won’t be put off or dislodged from your side as you exit the airport out onto the frigid sidewalk, “not every dame was born to be a cum guzzler.” the guy acts as if he’s agreeing with something Elvis said while throwing this tabloid trash back up into your face. 
You positively refuse to flinch at the reference to the bugged phone call but Elvis stalls to a complete halt right beside your shiny ride, looking over at the man with deathly hate in his eyes, “The hell did you just say?” he inquires, terribly quiet. 
“I was just quoting you, man.” The guy throws his hands up defensively and you duck and scoot around Elvis to help Dodger load the car, watching your husband coil up for an attack out your periphery.
“You’re quotin a newspaper that coughed up a couple million in damages for illegally tapin’ a private call!” he explodes and if anyone was unaware of what spurs him to grab the fellow by the shirt front and pin him to the hood, they are now informed. “If you ever, and I do mean ever,” he goes on, fist crushing the guy's diaphragm and voice shaking in terrible, hushed rage, “say or repeat or even so much as think of my wife like that again I’ll ruin ya. I don’t mean your job, I don’t mean your life, I mean I’ll ruin ya so bad you’ll wake up everyday wishin your mama washed you out with a douche when she had the chance. You hearin me? Yeah, yeah, what’s that? You’re sorry? That’s reaaalll nice of ya, you should be sorry. Alright, alright, I’ll take your apology but yer gonna apologize to my lil wife, too, you hear me? Go’on now, you scummy sunnuvabitch, you don’t even deserve to look at er.”
You lean against the inside of the car door, straight backed in your heels, family all packed inside the cab and await the windless reporter to get his voice back enough to stammer out a “apologies, Mrs. Presley, I didn’t mean to be inappropriate, I didn’t mean to-“
“We all know what you meant to do, you ungentlemanly bastard,” your husband shakes him by his collar and you glance uneasily at the gathering crowd but they seem mostly sympathetic, “You’re tryin to shame an admirable woman for her God given talent of pleasin her husband -and for likin it while she’s at it. Well you ain’t gettin away with it, not this time.” 
When he lets go of the man, the guy nearly catapults into the crowd from the force of the shove. He meets no helpers among them and ends up face first on the cement. 
Elvis saunters back and holds the car door open wider and motions you into the cab, you take your seat. He clears his throat before turning back around and dipping his hat to the throng, “Night yall, god bless.” before scooting in beside you and the ride takes off to your new home, your new life here in Germany.
Dodger’s eyes are smiling around her coke as she sits between the babies, watching proudly as Elvis settles next to you and heaves out a long breath. 
“Always some bastard tryin to ruin a nice day.” he murmurs but it fades into a happy little sigh as you reach out and take his hand, your head leaning on his shoulder, finally snug beside him again. You smile, knowing he’ll raise your son right, kindly, respectfully. 
Elvis’ pant leg beneath your fist is wet and you sneakily pat him there beneath his coat flaps. He nuzzles your hair with his nose and you feel his hot breath tickling your ear as out comes a deep whisper, “Don’t fret o’er that, Elaine, there’s more where that came from.”

Welcome to Germany, Mrs Presley
A Sarge and lil Mama fic
Tumblr media
Summary: After the birth of your firstborn twins and his subsequent deployment, you and Elvis reunite for the first time at a German Airport. Sweeping romantic scores and idyllic kisses in the rain may have to wait for hungry babies and overly full breasts…the latter problem your husband may or may not have a chivalrous desire to aid you with
Warnings; yes, this is the lactation “kink” you were promised, I tried to not make it icky, I swear I did, but beware if that’s not your thing 💋
Also note: I will be changing lil mama in this series eventually to an original character instead of reader insert. This one has remained an insert as I started it that way, although the reader is referred to by the name “Elaine” at the very end 🥂
Enjoy: AO3 Fic Link
“Welcome to Germany, Mrs. Presley!” the kind hearted stewardess pulled you away from your panicked survey through the window of the crowd on the tarmac. Promoted by the stewardess’ concerned smile you turned yourself to the task at hand -bundling up the babies in their carriers to prepare them for the torrent of snow outside.
October born Memphian babies as they are, they’ve barely seen the outside of Graceland as the season turned cold, and impromptu as this flight has been, you were still prepared with blankets and woolen caps and fuzzy socks on their tiny feet. With all these precautions in place only their noses were susceptible to freezing off in the blizzard and that really couldn’t be helped without suffocating them and- oh god, you were a nervous wreck.
Elvis had been arranging for you to join him in Germany since he married you, right after going into the army, it had always been the plan. But his first plan -to make a family with you, out of you- had worked a little too well, and you had been stuck at home with a complicated pregnancy of twins contracted on the wedding night, a terrible bout of mastitis following that, while he got shipped off across the globe. Evocative letters and the few stilted phone calls were all that had kept you going, a keen awareness that both of these could be intercepted having cooled the initial honeymoon ardour of your arranged union. A kind friend had alerted you to these available seats on this commercial airline and, tired of waiting for arrangement to come together for private jets, you’d torn apart your room to pack and roped Dodger into being a traveling companion and pack mule, and the four of you made it to the terminal with ten minutes to spare. Vernon had called ahead to tell his son that his young wife was hauling herself and her twins over the ocean posthaste, and you hoped to god that Elvis' previous insistence on you waiting to take a private jet had been out of concern for your comfort, not desire to prolong separation.
When you’d said as much aloud to his grandmother she’d scowled at you and made a significant face at the twins, as if to remind you that he’d been the one hell bent on having you, not the other way around.
You scan the waiting crowd outside in hopes of seeing him, noticing multiple fan signs held aloft in greeting for you and his babies, and wondered how rumors could spread that fast. And there was always the shock you felt that some people would freeze their toes off just to catch a glimpse of the gal Elvis the Pelvis had wedded and bedded.
You grab a baby carrier in each hand, your “yittle” hands and arms having grown strong and defined in the past months just from hauling your progeny around, and Dodger determinedly manages the luggage. You bump between the airplane seats, shuffling sideways and maneuvering yourself and your precious load, smiling when making eye contact with one gawking passenger after another, even having to make small talk when the disembarking line stalls only a couple yards away from the exit door. There’s a bottle neck happening up there, just out of view, no more passengers managing to get out the door and passed a charmingly stuttering young husband who’s giving the plane Captain the same working over he gave his commanding officer - the one that procured him a furlough to come pick his wife up from the airport with zero notice.
“Elvis!” you holler, ignoring the fascinated way people’s necks swivel to watch two individuals they've only read both filthy and devine things about in the newspapers interacting in real time.
“Mamas! that really you?” a very darling and familiar voice carries over a couple dozen heads in the tubular space and it makes you want to giggle over how desperate he sounds. Like he’s rescuing you from the lion’s den instead of a commercial airline.
Elvis has a massive trust and appreciation for the common man, the set he came from, except when it comes to their treatment of you. Public feeling towards you has been exacerbated negatively by the newspapers stirring up filth and he’s nearly gone nuts with worry in the ten hours it took the plane to arrive in Germany.
“Yessir, it’s me alright.” you yell after a giggle and the rest of the crowd joins in good naturedly.
“W-w-well, well come o-on o-o-out then!” he booms in exasperation.
“Can’t.” you holler, “you’re clogging the drain, daddy.”
“Oh well, I’ll be-“ and then there’s a sudden shuffling and the Captain starts waving people on again.
You make eye contact with a withered little lady who is right up ahead of you, her ancient smile lines craggy and you feel a little validated as she alone beams at you from where she is still pressed against the side of her equally weathered fella. You’ve found it’s this ancient generation, the one before the commercialized, sterilized, American household set, who didn’t really bat an eye upon reading a tapped phone transcript of Elvis assuring you that he’s “gonna stuff your yittle cunt to the brim as soon as you’re back with me again, gonna pump you full, darlin. Yer gonna be gushin out with every rut but I ain’t gonna stop, ain’t gonna stop till we’re half dead the both of us, and you got a gallon of baby gravy leakin outta ya. I swear it lil mama, I’ll get you full again, just hang in there, hang in there, oh goddamn, I hear ya whinin, those tiny fingers of yourn ain’t doin near enough, are they….”
‘Soon as you were back with him. That was the promise, and here he was now, he couldn’t even wait for you to disembark before trying to get to you. And the weathered dame smiles at you, and you wonder if she’s thinking of the times she rolled in the hay with her man, sat on him under a blistering sun when he was working his tractor, maybe made a dozen children in a room shared with two other couples. Back when no one gasped at the notion that married couples must entwine and rut and spew in order to make those “three little curly heads in a row” that everyone still sought after.
She looks happy for you, she looks passed you back at Dodger and you know grandma is proud that someone’s out there not being a hypocrite and just acknowledging, revelling even, in the fact that marriage is a very primal thing.
Elvis, feels close to vomiting as he smiles and waves and even signs a few crinkled napkins as people file past him onto the jetbridge, standing ramrod straight in his uniform beside the rest of the plane crew who politely act as if he’s a member, not an embarrassingly frantic husband. A famous, frantic husband. A husband who keeps spinning his service cover round and round by the bill in desperate need to see his little woman come into view.
He’d left you to fend for yourself at Graceland, still hemorrhaging and fighting a life threatening infection in those pretty tits of yours that he had been so sure would feed his children as dutifully as the rest of you had proven to be. But they’d rebelled, they’d swelled up, they’d grown hard knots and made you sob in pain and still you went down to the Memphis train station and clutched his hand smilingly until the locomotive's gaining speed had torn him from your grip. He’d never been more proud of a human in all his life. And then he’d been worried sick ever after.
Not even married a year and he had inadvertently broken his promise that you’d always have him, always be a family, never be apart if you’d just be his wife. You’re healthy now, you’d assured him over the phone. Been feeding the children like a prize milk cow, even feel well enough to go down to the Graceland gates and stand and chat with the fans, have even stuck your dainty hand down south and played with the previously torn little petals of your cunt. You assure him all is back to normal.
You can be a dirty, dirty liar, though, you don’t know it but Elvis does, he has seen the way you convince yourself you are grand so others don’t worry, when you’re not well at all. Your welfare and wellbeing is hai to ascertain, he’s your husband and he’ll be the judge of that, thank you very much. If he could just see you over all these ‘tarnal heads —
—god what a vision. His wife. Twelve hours on a plane and all it cost you was a droop to your eyelids that vanishes the moment you catch sight of him. That old spark in your eyes lights up and your face burns red as a smile splits your cheeks apart and he loves you so badly, loves knowing this ravenous joy hasn’t caressed your face since last time you saw him, he alone provokes that look.
You are easily managing two carriers between the rows of seats and your hat is fetchingly tilted, your hair is curled and your coat is the one he ordered from the magazine and he’s gonna have fun peeling those nylons off your legs and — there’s still an ocean of people between you two but despite your moderate height, you two manage to keep the grinning eye contact as the distance jostles and ebbs closes and he plucks you forward by a outstretched hand, making you trip over your heels for the first time in this whole ordeal and he squats with you to let you set the carriers on the ground and before you can rise back up to your height, he’s kissing you ravenously in front of all the onlookers. My god he is comforting, his hands cup your cheeks with fevered concern and his warm tongue plunges familiarly and without prelude, his powerful embrace engulfs you, crushing you into himself like he’s gonna tuck you inside his heart. He’s your sanctuary and you slump into him, nearly knocking his hat off in your desperation to rake through his growing locks.
“Ma darling” he pants against your cheek and you both rise up from your semi squat.
Below on the tarmac, through the glass of the jetway, a dozen flashbulbs pop to capture this moment, the crowd of fans is screaming and the crew beside him titters. It’s what you signed up for, life and love in the fishbowl of fame, and he gives you an apologetic grin before you smooch it off him, and move to the side so grandma Dodger can pat his face. He gives you his arm and you both swing up a child apiece with ease, shuffling along the jetway to the immense relief of the remaining passengers. He can’t choose where to look, your face or down at the infant swinging at his side, peering over to look at Miss Ella as you carry her. He finally looks straight as the terminal comes into view, a literal light at the end of a tunnel, and he gnaws his lip and slows his stride and squeezes your hand rhythmically.
“I’m sorry it’s so public.” you murmur, knowing a private jet would have spared him all this. “I just couldn’t bare it any more.”
And even if he had been of a mind to begrudge you your rash action, hearing you unabashedly admit you missed him that much soothes everyone little worry he has harbored that now you’ve got these babies you wanted, you may have gone off the idea of a husband. Particularly one as testy and hungry as he can be. He is starving for you and it only grows as he registers in relief that you’re eyeing him up appraisingly, taking in the adjustments that “rigorous army life” has made on his physique and face.
He looks older, he knows that, but not in the way of it being the sad, sulking, pudgy fella of before, he’s chiseled and broad and virulent now and he sees you lick your lips in between smiles. You married a sad boy, you’re returning to a capable man. You knock your forehead against the patch at his shoulder like an interested cat and he snickers happily just as you both walk into the gauntlet of the terminal.
“C'mon Dodger, stick close.” he commands her and keeps craning his neck to make sure she’s not separated by the crowd despite her gripes that she’s quite capable.
“Don’t mind me,” she says, “it’s your wife you should be frettin’ bout, get ‘er a room to relieve them yams of hers, they’re near burstin and she’ll catch another bout of the clogged ducts if she keeps being so damn prudish bout nursin in public-“
“W-what the hell is all this bout y-you, you -?” Elvis comes to a full halt in the middle of the busy thoroughfare and looks frantically from her to you. You want to curse her for her tactlessness in scaring him after all the fretting he’s subjected himself to, but in all honesty, you have not nursed in eight hours and the agony you forgot for a brief moment upon seeing him again comes to the fore at the mere mention of your engorged state. You can feel yourself leaking and each shuffle rubs the fabric pads against your nipples and makes you want to whimper.
“I need a room to feed the babies before we get in a car.” you whisper the plain truth in his ear while standing atiptoe as more flashbulbs go off, capturing his look of recognition and the scarlet flush that burns his face at your confession. The tell tale vein in his neck thumps to life and you aren’t sure if it’s panic or desire sending his adrenaline through the roof. Neither will the captions under the photos in tomorrow morning’s paper.
The thought of his wife’s breasts full and heavy and warm with his hands still so cold from the winter chill makes him want to hold them and bury his chilled nose between them and -he needs to get you a room. Hates himself for being so hungry for you when your eyes are watering upon closer inspection and his children must be close to starving. Oh god, how often do infants eat? Will they be stunted for having to wait? He’ll spank the hell outta you if this little plane ride costs Jesse or Ella a single inch of height or a roll of fat.
You can see all this chaos flit underneath his crimson blush until Dodger grunts in so suggestive a way that it rouses him and suddenly he’s a man on a mission, the same man who got a furlough in record time and arranged your status on the board of the March of Dimes.
Mr- umm, that’s Private now- Presley snaps his fingers and tells a man he needs a room, the man gets him a whole lounge, Elvis gets you all guided through a throng to it, and Elvis thanks the man with such charming profusion the fella downright forgets the brusque order preceding it.
He spins around a few times in the lounge as if he can’t figure out what to fix first and you laugh and make your way to the couch, setting your carrier down and starting to undo your heavy mink.
“Right, right.” he mutters as the obvious hits him, your presence working that old steady calm on him. He feels like he takes his first true breath of German air then and sets to work.
Always, he doesn’t know how you manage it for him, but a soft smile, a head tilt and eyebrow arched in gentle direction and suddenly he’s got his feet back under him, even here as he arranges his children by the sofa -dear god he has kids, those are his kids-
and helps you with your coat. You sit yourself down and he stands ready for the next softly spoken order.
“Could you help me unbuckle them, darling?” your sweet guidance spurs him and he’s squatting, face to face with his baby he hasn’t seen since it was fresh popped into the world.
“Hey lil mister.” he whispers, half astounded to see something so little and fragile with his eyes staring back from beneath a mountain of blankets. He has to will his hands not to shake and has to try about five times to get the buckle undone, he’s being so timid about the clasp and maybe pushing too hard on his baby son’s belly. He swivels around to you after he loses track of time watching his child stare back, but baby boy starts to scowl and of course, of course there’s a point to this, so he swivels back to you and finds you undoing the buttons of your silk blouse and you’re so damn lovely as the inches of creamy skin begins to swell into view and he longs to touch and then there’s a wet patch and those pretty little nipples peek into view and a dribble of white from them startles him, and he makes a noise he hasn’t ever heard himself make.
“Whoops!” you laugh pained, leaking and swiping the flood from the one released breast before popping the wet finger in your mouth.
You reach for the baby and he pulls his gaze from your leaking breast to hand him over, and you smile shyly in thanks, and he wonders if it embarrasses you for him to watch but he can’t help it, you look so perfectly in your element as you tuck Jesse in the crook of your elbow as your other hand guides your nipple into his shiny little mouth. He latches on eager and you moan in pain and relief. Elvis hears his own breath come out in a ragged exhale as if he were sharing your feeling.
“This place sells soft drinks, yeah?” Dodger’s voice shakes him like a rocket going off as he remembers his grandma is here too, he nearly falls back on his ass in his haste to turn towards her.
“Yes’m, reckon they do.” he agrees, “different currency though, and you’ll get mobbed by the press outside.”
“Well, hand me some of them Nazi bills or whatever they use over here.”
“Dodger-“
“Hush boy, I’m in need of a coke and you’re in need of a minute alone with your family, I can handle it.” she makes a motion with her hand and he stands up and digs in his pocket and places enough currency in her palm to buy her a coke and a few mink coats, too.
She rolls her wise eyes and he suddenly hugs her hard, missing her and the home she represents. She strokes his back for a good minute before patting him and disentangling, going straight to the door and exiting without giving the sea of cameras even a sliver of a view of your makeshift oasis.
Poor little Ella has begun to fuss in her carriage and he spins around and drops to his knees to tend her, joints cracking hard against the frigid airport tile.
“No, no, no you’re ok my girl, you’re gonna be ok, oh no, oh shh it’s ok, it’s ok.” his worry for his daughter makes him forget his unease and he collects her out of her own mound of fluffy blankets and hold her to him, rocks her back and forth on his knees, face looking torn between adoration and terror that she won’t be pacified. It’s just a small cry and some baby faced puckering whimpers but you’ve never seen him look more devastated that she won’t respond. “How long’s it been since ya fed her?” he asks, voice raised and tone a little harsh.
“Just a couple hours,” you soothe, running a pacifying foot up the top of his thigh since your hands are occupied, he understands the gesture for what it is and his posture softens and he starts patting Ella more confidently. “I brought formula, Elvis, it’s just me that needed…”
“Course, course.” he swallows and hates how unsure he is, how stilted he’s making everything by this strange brand of insecurity, “I’m sorry for bein’ all -for doubtin your capabilities.” he makes amends and you can’t help but feel terrible for the lost look on his face. “I don’t got any nowhere to speak from, do I? -leavin my wife and children behind after all I promised.”
“You didn’t leave.” you reiterate the point you’ve hammered on him over the phone a dozen times, putting Jesse on your shoulder to burp him as he was so lackadaisical in his nursing he nearly fell asleep, “You were commanded away, and no one here blamed you for that except yourself, and I forbid it.”
“It weren’t right-“ he’s got Ella calmed down now he’s looking down at her with all of the remorse of a man who orchestrated a family for himself and then left them high and dry the minute they came to fruition.
“-really Elvis, I forbid it, that kinda talk,” you whisper and he looks up at you with those big eyes and a curious set to his mouth, like he wants to protest your command but it’s also everything he needs and more, “I forbid it ruining here and now, what we’ve got now -which is us, together, just as you promised. This!” you gesture between his kneeling form and yourself, each with a child you so lovingly made, “This is what your promised me, or nearly, if you could just, just not dwell on it any longer. Be here with me, please?”
He grabs your hand from Jesse’s little back and kisses your knuckles fervently, all that gentlemanly sweetness he showed you on your wedding night when he told you that it would hurt, but he’d give you babies and love and joy and forever in return. You’d sat atop him and done the deed yourself, impaling your virgin body on every hefty inch of him, and in return he had given you those babies you’d always wanted. And love, he gave you that, security, direction and a devotion you weren’t quite sure you had a large enough heart to match, but my god you wanted to try.
“Yes, yes Darlin I - oh god you’re…you’re d-d-dripping all over the place.” the mood shifts towards comic as he watches your neglected breast splutter out sweet milk into your silk shirt and you offer him Jesse in exchange for Ella.
Jesse’s head lolls back alarmingly once his daddy’s got him, his blue eyes half lidded in a mommy’s milk coma. Elvis giggles at it. “Son of mine, you’re plastered.” he takes an elegant finger and traces the tiny nose down to the little button chin, “Guess I should tuck him back in.” he sighs regretfully, hating having him out of his arms for even a minute, but also knowing he needs to get you back to the house in order to have any real and extended privacy.
You hiss as Ella latches on vigorously, and he looks up from his work on Jesse’s carrier in concern.
“All’s good.” you put on a brave smile, the one you gave him as the contractions started to hit, the one you gave him when you sank down on him fully for the first time and tried to be brave about the feeling of a cucumber in your keyhole. He may have not had that much quality time with his family as a whole so far, but he’s been studying you for years. He spots bullshit.
“You’re dirty little liar.” he tsks but he can’t help his smile, you look so bashful and then haughty about it.
“I just, I hope she’s hungrier than him.” you explain, and somehow you have a great deal of elegance about you, he thinks, sitting in your pressed skirt and heels and hat and curls with your shirt open and leaking ripe tits gushing at every mewling sound the infants let out. Its fascinating to him just how, well -full- they look, how it’s like a leaky faucet or a break in the hose or…precum, dribbling and oozing without coaxing and it’s making your whole breast shiny from the mess of it and -he can’t help it, he licks his lips, and you don’t miss it, even as he blushes scarlet at the desire that flashed across his brain.
You don’t out him, the jive of your relationship still feeling somehow precarious, like there’s a old shyness in the air. You pat at Ella’s bottom encouragingly, trying to keep her eager as her daddy still kneels and watches. She’s already starting to slow. And your breasts ache, they ache terribly still despite the munchkin’s having their dinner. You wonder about this shyness, you wonder about the way he’s shifting on the floor, the way his licked lips shimmer and the way you have a sneaking suspicion that the force of both your yearnings is so strong you’re playing safe until it can explode in some contained environment.
At some point he stopped just watching and took to leaning over your lap, the better to watch and stroke little Ella’s cheek as she sucks down what you give her. “A goddamn miracle, she is.” he whispers in awe and you nod in agreement, “We made this.” he states as if in shock, “We made these!” he boyishly exclaims, swiveling back to look at a conked out little Jesse before he turns back to you.
“We did indeed.” you grin warmly and he bites his lip, hands running up and down your thighs atop your skirt.
The familiarity of his old touchiness soothes you, and you lean over to kiss him gently, Ella already having let the nipple slip from her lips, sated with a measly meal after all that formula. You dribble on the cuff of his sleeve during the kiss and his eyes lock on the white stain seeping into the wool. You watch as he impulsively brings the sleeve to his mouth and sucks the moisture. His eyes blow wide, and you suck in a breath.
“I d-dunno what I-I-“ he protests his rash action.
“No, no, Elvis, would you -do you…” you lick your own lips and look down at Ella as she snoozes in a tryptophan dream, your engorged breast neglected.
You gently set her beside you on the couch while he clutches at your legs, waiting breathless to see if your mind is as compatibly wicked as his own.
“I need you, Elvis, I really do, please.” you whisper it so pained that he’s drawn closer as if it were a sirens sing -his woman needs him. “It’s not wrong, is it?”
All you’ve ever learned about any of this has been from him and the good book, and neither said nothin about forbidding anything done between couples in love. His tongue darts out and he shakes his head vehemently, even as his face burns scarlet across his cheekbones.
It’s like a slow movie kiss, the way you both gravitate towards each other, he rising up higher on his knees and leaning over your lap and you inclining yourself towards him.
You lift up a heavy breast and he’s so close to it his hot breath makes your wet nipple burn and tighten impossibly more, he pauses, open mouth puckered right before, eyes flicking up to yours with a wild need for assurance.
You put your other hand to the back of his head, knocking off his army hat and lacing your fingers through his shorn locks, gripping and guiding him that last inch, and then he’s there, his searing mouth engulfing you just as you remember from when you were a milkless maid.
“Please, please.” you gasp out, pushing his head closer and you see the broad line of his sturdy back ripple beneath his army greens in a shudder before he gives you what you need, mouth tightening, tongue dipping, cheeks hollowing. He sucks.
You moan in agonized relief, tugging his hair unconsciously and he moans back as the shockingly sweet deluge of you coats his tongue and slides down his throat. His heavy lidded eyes fly open at the taste, so sweet and refreshing and he finds that it’s not just the heady eroticism of it, or even the soothing closeness you’re both finally managing here and now that makes him float -it’s the truly comforting state of being clasped to your breast like this and being looked down upon so adoringly by the mother of his children. His arms wind round your waist and he locks his hands together at the small of you back. You’re a wonder of creations, an unfairly beautiful creature with a near unbearably impressive use. Rather like your tits, he thinks, and that makes him snicker around you little bud and you “oh ha!“ prettily in surprise at the vibration before settling and stroking his face.
“That’s it, that’s perfect, daddy, please a little more.” you whisper as he guzzles down his children’s sustainance.
He wouldn’t think of stopping, redoubles his efforts just to show you how invested he is, that this is no favor he is doing you. The painful throb between his legs, pressing as it is against your shin, ought to be proof enough to you he finds this nothing less than agreeable. His frostburned nose is warming up, nestled against burning hot flesh as it is, and he takes a chilled hand away from your waist to reach out and grasp your other breast. You gasp in shock and pain as out dribbles more milk, running in rivulets over and between his knuckles, down to his wrist.
“Oh my lord, there’s so much.” he groans in appreciation, greedily switching his spigot of choice and latching onto the other tit eagerly and your head falls back from the overwhelming feel of being taken care of.
“So good to me.” you marvel, dragging your hands through his hair, anchoring him still to you and he hums, his eyes growing heavy and milk settling warm and calming in his gut. “Always so good to me.”
You’re not suprised to feel the hot splash of what must be a tear on your breast, his sniffles just a little audible above the lewd noises of his suction and moans. This is you two, this is back to how it ought to be. You can feel him as he settles back into place with you, his whole body relaxing and leaning in. You flex your foot and it makes your leg brush against where he’s pressed to you and he bucks against your shin helplessly, a hand back on your waist and the other hefting your breast to his mouth. He ruts against your leg, months of absence and abstinence turning him into something no better than a dog in heat as he leans across your lap.
He pulls away with a gasp as if he’s been submerged this whole time. His face is glossy and his lips puffy and the collar of his shirt is wet from some of the milk he couldn’t catch. He looks wrecked and dazed and you thumb at the messy corner of his mouth. He reaches out and squeezes the breast he just deflated and laughs at the way it sags.
“Don’t.” you whine, a little shy but he just giggles harder and keeps jiggling it until you have to laugh, too.
“You all better now?” he asks soft, and your face is swimming in front of him, his hand staggers upwards on its way to clasp your cheek.
“Heavens, are you milk drunk?” you laugh, his whole expression hilariously childlike.
“Feel a lil funny.” he nods, slumping back on his knees but keeping his hands on your knees.
“That is becasue all the blood is down there.” your shiny black shoe toe nudges the tent in his pants and he grins bashfully.
“Well, hang on now!” he speaks up after a moment, frowning at one of your breasts and you look down to find a bead of milk gathering to drip again, “I just drained you!” he protests with wounded pride to your offending breast, “I just drained ya, and you're already drippin, what’s the big idea?”
“Elvis baby,” you laugh merrily, “It makes up to replace what comes out. Nursing encourages more production.”
“Sure but -but this is excessive!” he’s being louder than usual, inhibitions gone out the window the minute he’d sucked titties like a starving newborn while wearing his country’s uniform. “Hell, they ain’t gonna win this time.” he shakes his head and leans in again, “Gonna keep you comfy now you’re here wi’me.” he swears competitively before latching on again to the fuller breast and swallowing down the fresh brewed batch.
You can feel the relief mounting in your chest as that final little bit gets drained, soon there won’t be any more for him to suck out, so while you can, you take the opportunity afforded to you, one you never thought you’d have. You place your hand against his throat to feel it work as he swallows you down, a motion he is familiar with, one he does around your throat every time you swallow his release. It makes him growl in want and he laps around your bud as he ruts and stares deep into your bright eyes. The fan of his eyelashes flutter against your breast and you push back his hair, thumbing at his eyebrows, he goes a tad crosseyed as his pupils blow out and suddenly the desire for a nap is mighty powerful in him. He giggles, nipple falling from his lips, and you giggle too, through your blush, and cradle his head.
A hard knock on the door snaps both this pretty moment and the line of drool from his lips to your nipple. He rolls and scoots out of your lap and back on his ass like a soldier out of his foxhole and you hear Dodger’s voice saying something about the car being ready through the muffle of the partition.
“Right, right, ok.” Elvis hollers, vigorously wiping at his mouth with the back of his hand as he watches you do up your soaked shirt with nimble fingers.
“You’re really drunk, I think. You sure you’re alright?” you murmur, watching as he blinks and shakes his head as if he’s got water in an ear.
“Maybe.” he hiccups and then looks horrified by it, “Lordy, really don’t know what’s wrong with me, I-I-ill be fine i j-just a lil…what’s in that stuff anyway?” he nods at your now (sadly, deplorably, regretfully, criminally) covered breasts.
“Nutrients and sugar, I guess.” you chuckle, choosing to strap Ella in yourself, since he seems a little woozy.
“More like moonshine.” he gripes and then gasps in shock and you see what he does about the same time, a massive wet patch on the crotch of his khakis that he pokes at as if he isn’t sure when he’d spilled a drink in his lap.
“You didn’t!” you exclaim in gleeful shock and he gives you a warning look but you’re too far gone in smug satisfaction at making him blow a load just from tiddy sucking that you keep grinning down at him manically.
“I-i-I didn’t!” he insists, flustered and bewildered, “I don’t remember doin it! Wasn’t even touching m’slef.”
“You looked pretty happy there for a minute.” you tease merciless.
“Hell mama, how am I gonna stand up without makin it run ery’where? Gonna be goddamn humiliatin goin out there with wet pants.”
“Your jacket covers that area.” you soothe, ascertaining that the patch is high enough up.
“Not when I stand up it won’t, whole load is gonna run down ma leg an’drip on the floor. That’s three loooong months worth of cream right there, lil mama.”
Dodger knocks again and he looks up at you half panicked, “I’m coming in, all this press doin my head in.” she hollers in warning.
“Yes of course, come on in!” you encourage her while reaching down into the carrier and snagging the burp cloth, “Here, sop it up!” you hiss at him, extending the cotton cloth and he looks at it incredulous for a brief moment before the door opens and he spins away to shove his hand and the fabric down his pants and collect the mess so it doesn’t streak his pant leg upon standing up.
He has to give ya credit, it sorta works. He pulls the sodden rag out of his waistband and turns around to see his grandmother helping collect the luggage and you smoothing out the wrinkles in your skirt. He thinks he sees a shiny patch of fluid on the shin of your nylons. He shivers again.
Dodger makes no comment on your wet blouse, she expected as much and the mink you don again covers it just fine. Elvis she observes with a critical eye and a shake of her head, he’s a hopeless case really. He looks a mess, not in any particularly blatant way, just the dazed light in his eyes and the plump of his lips and the wet around his collar, the glow to his cheeks. He looks like he just enjoyed himself somehow, though the HOW remains a bit nebulous. One can only hope the papers put it down to familial affection.
There are reporters from every paper outside, American and German and British, and then the fans to boot. It’s all rather rude just to plunge ahead through the well wishes and welcomes so you and he walk arm and arm through it all, a baby carrier strategically carried in front of him, and dish out pithy replies to an abundance of questions.
-“You look lovely, Mrs Presley! So glad to see you recovered!”
-“Oh my god I can’t believe it’s them!”
-“Did she really fly commercial?”
-“How do you feel about her going around unaccompanied, Elvis?”
“She weren’t unaccompanied,” he shakes his head, “she was with my Grandma.”
-“Can we see the babies?”
“Sure ya can!” he tugs the blanket down past Ella’s chin but as the bulbs go off and her eyes crinkle sadly he quickly snaps back the hood of the carrier, “Aww, she ain’t a fan of your lights, man.” he apologizes, a huge smile on his face as the crowd coos and he almost forgets in his pride to not raise the carrier up and expose his accident.
“You look a little, uh, wet, Elvis.” an oft encountered American journalist has the audacity to reach out and touch the soaked collar of his shirt, a shit eating grin on his face.
Elvis tenses and his stride beside you gains speed but the slimey columnist keeps pace, “So much meltin snow out there, man,” your husband tries to grin for the cameras, “I’m from Memphis, I dunno how to handle that stuff, gets on ma trousers and collar and er’ryrhing.”
“Sure, sure.” the reporter nods, “Bet you’re glad to have your wife on this side of the pond but there’s gonna be a lotta disappointed Frauleins.”
“They won’t be disappointed for long once they get to know ‘er.” Elvis states with jovial certainty. You can’t help but beam.
“You can’t blame them for being sore,” the guy won’t be put off or dislodged from your side as you exit the airport out onto the frigid sidewalk, “not every dame was born to be a cum guzzler.” the guy acts as if he’s agreeing with something Elvis said while throwing this tabloid trash back up into your face.
You positively refuse to flinch at the reference to the bugged phone call but Elvis stalls to a complete halt right beside your shiny ride, looking over at the man with deathly hate in his eyes, “The hell did you just say?” he inquires, terribly quiet.
“I was just quoting you, man.” The guy throws his hands up defensively and you duck and scoot around Elvis to help Dodger load the car, watching your husband coil up for an attack out your periphery.
“You’re quotin a newspaper that coughed up a couple million in damages for illegally tapin’ a private call!” he explodes and if anyone was unaware of what spurs him to grab the fellow by the shirt front and pin him to the hood, they are now informed. “If you ever, and I do mean ever,” he goes on, fist crushing the guy's diaphragm and voice shaking in terrible, hushed rage, “say or repeat or even so much as think of my wife like that again I’ll ruin ya. I don’t mean your job, I don’t mean your life, I mean I’ll ruin ya so bad you’ll wake up everyday wishin your mama washed you out with a douche when she had the chance. You hearin me? Yeah, yeah, what’s that? You’re sorry? That’s reaaalll nice of ya, you should be sorry. Alright, alright, I’ll take your apology but yer gonna apologize to my lil wife, too, you hear me? Go’on now, you scummy sunnuvabitch, you don’t even deserve to look at er.”
You lean against the inside of the car door, straight backed in your heels, family all packed inside the cab and await the windless reporter to get his voice back enough to stammer out a “apologies, Mrs. Presley, I didn’t mean to be inappropriate, I didn’t mean to-“
“We all know what you meant to do, you ungentlemanly bastard,” your husband shakes him by his collar and you glance uneasily at the gathering crowd but they seem mostly sympathetic, “You’re tryin to shame an admirable woman for her God given talent of pleasin her husband -and for likin it while she’s at it. Well you ain’t gettin away with it, not this time.”
When he lets go of the man, the guy nearly catapults into the crowd from the force of the shove. He meets no helpers among them and ends up face first on the cement.
Elvis saunters back and holds the car door open wider and motions you into the cab, you take your seat. He clears his throat before turning back around and dipping his hat to the throng, “Night yall, god bless.” before scooting in beside you and the ride takes off to your new home, your new life here in Germany.
Dodger’s eyes are smiling around her coke as she sits between the babies, watching proudly as Elvis settles next to you and heaves out a long breath.
“Always some bastard tryin to ruin a nice day.” he murmurs but it fades into a happy little sigh as you reach out and take his hand, your head leaning on his shoulder, finally snug beside him again. You smile, knowing he’ll raise your son right, kindly, respectfully.
Elvis’ pant leg beneath your fist is wet and you sneakily pat him there beneath his coat flaps. He nuzzles your hair with his nose and you feel his hot breath tickling your ear as out comes a deep whisper, “Don’t fret o’er that, Elaine, there’s more where that came from.”

The Birthday Wish
Turtle Doves!!!
Today is a VERY IMPORTANT DAY!
It's my girl @leosgirl82 's birthday!
And because I love her so much, I wrote a little something for her.
And all you Raph gals out there get to enjoy @leosgirl82 's birthday gift, too 😂❤️
~Disclaimer~ I DO NOT condone exceeding the speed limit. Even if you are a gigantic humanoid turtle. Stay Safe, Turtle Doves 💕
ALSO, I deem this SFW 🦺

The Birthday Wish
*Ping*
You picked up your phone to see a text from Raph. He wanted you to meet him at the lair tonight for your birthday.
Big Red: Hey baby. Can you meet me at the lair later? I have a birthday surprise for you.
You: 👀 
Big Red: LOL I promise you're gonna like it.
You: I should be able to escape my annual obligatory family cake and ice cream get-together by 4:30. Is 5 pm ok?
Big Red: it's perfect
You: alright. But if I get there. And there's some big party going on…
Big Red: 😂😘 I'll see you at 5
You let out a huff of air. He knew you hated surprises. He better not be throwing some grandiose birthday she-bang.
But could you really complain? He was absolutely perfect in every way.
You hadn't even been dating the big brute for a year yet.
But the connection you had, made it feel like you two had been together forever.
🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢
This whole thing had started years ago. 
Having met Leo as a small child, your friendship with him had blossomed over the years, and you two had been inseparable by the time you hit high school. At that time, Raph was nothing but an insufferable hothead who liked to tease and annoy the shit out of you every time you went to the lair to visit your best friend.
Unfortunately, time moves faster than you're ever ready for, and going to college had crept up before you knew it. You had chosen to go somewhere out of state to pursue your chosen career, causing you to lose touch with the turtles.
The years went by, and between working a full-time job and taking college courses full-time, your life had changed drastically, leaving no time to even think about your childhood friends.
When you eventually came back to New York - years later - you wandered the familiar tunnels to the lair, but only to find it in shambles. They had left their lair, presumably due to being found. And, to much of your dismay,  you hadn't been able to find them again ever since.
Fast forward about ten years, and you meet your new best friend. She talked a lot about her loving boyfriend, but you had never seen nor met the guy, and you were beginning to worry, quite honestly. 
You finally had to beg her to introduce you, and she agreed under strict terms - that his identity was to remain a secret because he worked undercover. You gladly agreed, and she set up the meeting.
Let me tell you… When the day came for you to meet him, you just about lost your mind when Leonardo walked into her small New York apartment.
Excitement. Unintelligible babbling. Tears.
Your new best friend was dating your old best friend. Does life get any more perfect?
As it turns out, it does.
Your reintroduction to the turtle brothers and their rat father went as expected - squeals of happiness, bellowing laughter, and tears of joy.
You started visiting their new lair regularly, hanging out more with Leo's three brothers while he was out with your friend. You loved bonding with Mike in the kitchen while the pair of you baked and cooked up new recipes. And hanging with Don and asking ALL the questions while he worked on building a quantum computer was a blast!
But your favorite time spent down there, surprisingly, was with the big red bara.
He had grown up quite a bit, and more than just in height and muscles.
He was funny. And sweet. He was incredibly caring - and not afraid to show it.
You had fallen for him despite your attempts to keep it friendly.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You hadn't been able to pull your brain away from the reminiscent thoughts about how you finally got together with Raphael throughout your small party with your parents, siblings, and their families. So, you were incredibly grateful when your brother snuck you out the side door with a hug and told you he'd cover for you and to go have fun with your man.
You hurried home and still had enough time to shower and get dressed in something nice before heading to the lair. 
Raphael was waiting for you in the common room as you walked in with a gorgeous bouquet of red roses, orange lilies, and white orchids. He was wearing nice jeans and that crimson button-down dress shirt you loved so much.
You couldn't help the smile that nearly broke your face when you saw him.
"Happy birthday, baby," he said softly as he handed you the flowers so he could embrace you.
"Raph, these are gorgeous!" You gushed, standing on your toes for a smooch.
"That's only the beginning. Let's put them in a vase so we can get you dressed to go," he told you with a wink.
🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
You gasped when he brought you to his bedroom, where he had leather riding gear laid out for you on his bed. It was black and red, matching his perfectly.
You had expressed your love of motorcycles to him and Don when you found them rebuilding and remodeling a bike to fit the oversized turtles' builds.
But that was so long ago that you were sure he had forgotten.
You turned and looked at him, his eyes sparkling down at you, clearly enjoying your reaction.
"Hurry up," he whispered with a smile, nodding toward the gear.
Once you were both ready, he lead you out to the garage, where he rolled out the motorcycle you would be taking.
The motorcycle was gorgeous.
It was huge with two seats. There was a smaller seat, seated directly in front of the driver, effectively tucking the rider under the driver - so the rider was perfectly snug against the driver's body - but not in the way of operating the machine.
Raph helped you up onto the bike, then climbed on behind you.
"Hold on tight," you heard him say through a speaker inside your helmet.
He pushed a button on the dashboard of the bike that opened a hidden door in the garage. He navigated the underground tunnels until you saw a ramp drop down from above, leading out into a back alley.
He zoomed with you securely tucked beneath him, through the city and to the highway, where he really opened it up, hitting speeds of 120+ mph.
It was absolutely exhilarating, watching the world fly by as he played Adam Lambert's If I Had You, through the speakers in the helmets. His strong arms caging you in on the motorcycle made your heart flutter with how safe he made you feel.
He drove the pair of you to upstate New York and into the deep woods, where he had built a log cabin for the two of you to 'get away' when you first started dating.
He parked the bike and helped you off before escorting you inside. Guiding you to the bathroom, he handed you a bag so you could change out of your riding gear and back into your dress. 
In the meantime, he hurried around, starting a fire, pulling a tray of chocolate-covered strawberries out of the fridge, and pouring you both some champagne - before changing back into his clothes.
He had you join him on the couch, where he kept his arm draped around your shoulders lazily, feeding you the occasional strawberry that was always followed by a kiss.
"Raph," you said, looking up at him in complete adoration, "this was wonderful. Thank you so much for giving me the best birthday I've ever had."
"Actually, I haven't given you your gift yet," he said, looking a little nervous as he stood up. He walked into the bedroom and came back with something held behind his back.
"Look, I know it's your birthday, and you're supposed to make the wish, but my gift to you comes with a wish of my own," he told you.
He paused, looking over your features for a moment before he continued.
"I made this for you," he said, pulling out a small jewelry-sized gift box and handing it to you.
You opened the small black box to find a necklace. The pendant was made from wood - two intricately carved hearts, one on top of the other.
"It's beautiful," you whispered, mesmerized by the fact that those huge hands of his could make something so small and delicate.
"That smaller heart is you," he said, a bit shyly, "and the bigger one is me."
You laid your hand on his forearm, trying to get him to look up at you as he fiddled with his hands.
"I love it," you told him, with a smile so bright, it put the sun to shame.
"There's more," he said quietly, glancing up at you for a second before looking at the small open box in your hands.
"It represents how I feel," he said. "The smaller heart takes up all of the space inside of the big one."
You let out a small breath of air as you felt tears collecting in the corners of your eyes.
"And, I don't usually believe in this sort of thing, but…" he continued, "now I want it to be real."
He looked up, and his eyes found yours as his hand found the side of your face.
"I love you… With all of my heart. And I wish for you to always be by my side. In this lifetime, and any others thereafter," he professed, his eyes misting over as he looked down at you.
"I hope you'll always wear it," he whispered, bending down to land a soft kiss on your lips.
Tears stream down your face as you put your free hand up to his neck to keep his lips pressed to yours.
He broke the kiss to wipe your cheeks dry with his thumb and then took the box back.
"May I?" He asked, after taking the necklace out and holding it to you.
You nodded frantically and turned so he could clip the clasp easier.
You smiled, resting your fingertips on the small pendant, as you turned around to see him.
Raph smiled at you and sat back down on the couch, but this time he pulled you down into his lap and wrapped those huge muscled arms around you.
After sharing some smiles and laughing about stories from the past while you were all cuddled up on the couch, the pair of you fell asleep, all wrapped up in one another, under the infamous red knitted blanket.

Hi hi, I noticed you had requests open. Could I please request a female!reader x Ellen from IHNMAIMS, (romantic) if that's not too much trouble? Thanks a lot if you do, but otherwise it's no biggie! (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)⁠✧⁠*⁠。
My fading voice sings of love.
Tumblr media
Ellen (IHNMAIMS) x Fem! Reader (romantic headcanons) Warning: mention of blood, torture, AM lol, sexual violence (nothing too graphic, just mentioning what Ellen goes through in the book), physical violence (reference to the men and AM only), and verbal abuse (the men again) Word count: 977
˚₊‧꒰ა ♡ ໒꒱ ‧₊˚
The closeness Ellen has with you doesn’t vary while being stuck with AM. If you met before taking the group captive, she would view you as equally as if you met while being the AI’s prisoner.
If you met before AM’s gain of sentience, she would be more than grateful you lived, keeping a close eye on you with everything that happened. Paranoia got the best of her several times, but only early on, seeing what happened to Benny will change a gal. It’s only natural Ellen would try keeping you close.
If you met after AM found sentience, she would be grateful for another lady there. Ellen would treat you as kindly as she would any of the men, but her adoration would grow as time goes on.
The tenderness would be gradual, starting with basic care she had for everyone in the group, and then to holding each other out of comfort. Ellen would -of course- be worried you wouldn’t love her the way she loves you and would try keeping her care equal amongst the group. Though, you’d always notice how she would look away when you looked in her direction or smile more when you spoke.
She adores physical affection, especially kisses. Ellen likes when they hold meaning behind it, she’d keep you close in her arms as you rest for the night, gently kissing the scars left behind by the torture AM put you through. The bloody marks stung slightly by her kisses but you would accept it each time.
Speaking of torture, AM would specifically take you away and hurt you more just to watch her cry about what you endured. Ellen isn’t silent about her adoration of you and AM knows that. Though you had partially grown numb from the pain and torture with how long it’s gone on, Ellen will more likely sob harder than you ever will from the injuries that will never kill you.
She would have to deal with similar treatment, AM knew the domino effect that played out with you both. If you got tortured and hurt, Ellen would be heartbroken, and the same was for you. When you both were on the journey to the peaches, the figures brought her back, bloody and with broken bones. You had cried your heart out that day at the sight, even if there were worse moments when the treatment was beyond your own comprehension. Ellen naturally accepted your care, her body was weak but her grip on you never wavered. She’d mumble about how you shouldn’t cry and how everything was fine but wouldn��t deny you from tearfulness if you continued. She’d adore it the most when you gently run your hand over her back, avoiding the areas of contact when AM had hurt her.
Ellen never had a fondness for the men and their treatment of her, obviously. She had a care for them but it isn’t as strong as she had with you. It was common to find her going back to you when she would get hurt by them, whether that was vocally, physically, or sexually didn’t matter.
It’s more likely that you go through the same treatment since you’re also a woman and it would lead to more comfort from Ellen. It’s almost instinctual the way she would care for you the best she could, wiping the possible tears and sweat from your face once the event with one of the men was done, giving you a kiss when you felt it was right.
There aren’t many opportunities to be romantic with each other, so you’d both get spare time while the others were asleep. It was one of the only moments where fear wasn’t as present as other times, kept in each other's arms. The hold is unlike AM’s hold over you and her, like a bird in a cage. It was like a blanket, soft, gentle, and capable of leaving with a single push. But you both knew you wouldn’t leave each other's arms.
“You think AM isn’t looking?” You’d ask with a small smile. Ellen laid against your chest, her arms wrapped tightly around you. The silver flooring she laid on contrasting her red clothing. Her hands stroked your side, right where your ribs were. She was careful with her touches, you having been injured hours earlier by AM.
“Maybe not… why?” Ellen asked, tilting her head to look up at you, her lips curling up into a small smile. It was only seconds later that her lips felt the soft touch of yours. She doubted she would get used to your affection, even if 109 years had gone by.
Ellen will forever be a romantic at heart, she’ll pay attention to the dates AM would say and listen for valentines day. Of course, she would never get things that would work as gifts. Simple things like more physical and vocal affection would be prominent on the special day.
If you allowed her to, Ellen would care for you in basic ways outside of romantic ways. She would help you comb through your hair and put it into styles if it was long enough. You could request any style you could think of, and she would try her best. If you have similar coily hair to hers, she will spend some time doing smaller braids in your hair when there was nothing she could think of doing.
As time went on and you and the group went on the journey to find the canned peaches, she would talk about how she would feed you her can if you liked peaches the most. Ellen would go on about how (if you met after AM gained sentience) you could both have a romantic dinner with nice food, feeding each other the sweet fruits and getting something good to eat after 109 years.

Live A Little | A Worth It AU | Ralph Penbury x You | Masterlist
In This Edition: You join the gals on a mission below decks, officially meet Ralph, and have a crisis of conscience! Words: 3.3k
Tumblr media
"Are you going to sleep all day?"
"Yes," you grumble into your fluffy pillow, wishing your aunt would move along and let you finish a wonderful dream about dancing.
"You can sleep when you get home, come on!"
You keep your eyes shut, clinging to the last wisps of your dream. You want to see his face. To know whose arms were wrapped around you, floating with you across the dance floor like you were weightless.
A smack to your rear plucks you from the dream world and drops you back into your cabin. The lights are on, and your aunt stands above you impatiently.
"Good morning, sunshine. Ready for breakfast?"
You groan and haul yourself out of bed. The next hour is spent making yourselves presentable. The hour after that? Eating a breakfast that, you have to admit, was worth getting out of bed for.
After a walk around the promenade, your aunt drags you to the swimming pool. You find the concept a bit odd, but how often does one get to swim aboard a ship sailing on the ocean?
You didn't really know what to expect, given that it was the first of its kind, but the swimming pool was fabulous. It was much larger than you'd imagined it would be, and over five feet deep. You happily swapped your dress for a rented swimming costume and spent over an hour splashing around with other curious ladies.
Titanic was scheduled to stop near Ireland to pick up a few new passengers just before midday, and it would be the last land anyone saw for days. You didn't want to miss it. You and Aunt Molly went to the deck and sat in the sun as you watched the ship approach the coast. You stayed there until time for lunch, then went below deck to have another wonderful meal. The time seemed to fly by.
Molly decided to stay and chat with the ladies after lunch, so you went back to watch the departure from Queenstown by yourself. It had grown windier, but you didn't mind the fresh air. You wrapped your arms around yourself and stared at the land in the distance, wondering if you'd ever see it again.
This may be your last grand adventure. It had been a wonderful trip, and you'd been lucky enough to experience a great many things that most people would never get to. But were you really ready to go back home and resume your normal life? To plan a traditional wedding and be an obedient wife and an attentive mother in the little town you'd grown up in? Forever?
"What are you doing up here all alone?"
You whip your head around to see Victoria, Georgina, and the girls from your table last night. Your face breaks into a smile.
"I'm just taking one last look at Ireland. It's the last land we'll see until we reach New York."
"How dreadfully boring!" Victoria laughs. "Come with us, we're going below to pick out a peasant for Nora!"
A girl in the back of the group blushes, and you recognize her as last night's loser; the final dance partner of Victoria's brother.
"Alright," you smile, falling into step as the group proceeds inside to the elevators. Victoria secures directions to the third class accommodations from the lift attendant - who warns her away from the unpolished people below - but she reminds him that she paid for the privileges of a first class passenger, and can go wherever she damn well pleases. You aren't sure if that's truly the case or not, but it seemed to convince the nervous operator. You split into two groups and ride the lifts down into the belly of the ship.
Victoria leads the way to the third class lounge with determination. When you enter, the room falls silent.
"Alright, Jane," Victoria orders, "Pick one!"
Jane scans the faces beginning to whisper, and points at a man you'd imagine to be Italian and in his 60s, sitting at a table playing cards. "That one!"
The girls giggle. You feel like you're in a zoo. Only, you're one of the animals. Every pair of eyes in the room is on the group of first class girls who'd come down to gawk.
"Go on!" Victoria grabs Nora's shoulders and pushes her forward. The girl stumbles at first, but finds her footing and marches right up to the elderly stranger, bends at the waist, and kisses him. She stands and wipes her mouth with the back of her hand, smudging her lipstick slightly, and returns to the group triumphantly.
They howl and cackle and congratulate her.
You wish you'd slept in.
The man sits there in a daze. You wonder what might be going through his head. A strange rich woman, just walking up and kissing you on the mouth? That surely doesn't happen every day.
A little boy, walking like he'd just learned how, wobbles toward the group and distracts you from your discomfort. You watch curiously, wondering what he's after. He reaches for Victoria's dress, which is covered with shiny metallic beads.
She sees him coming and leaps back with a squeal, snatching her dress out of his grasp. He giggles and wobbles faster, thinking she's playing a game with him.
Victoria keeps backing away, elbowing her way through the gaggle of other girls. When they spot him, they scramble and take off in the opposite direction, like the child is diseased. He pouts when they disappear from sight without playing with him. You wish you had something to give him; a trinket, a flower, anything to show the poor child that at least one of you is a human with a beating heart.
His mother rushes over to snatch him up, giving you a frightful glare, and you rush down the hall in search of the girls you'd arrived with.
"It's so disgusting down here, I need fresh air and a clean dress," is the first thing you hear from Victoria, who hasn't even noticed you were missing.
Everyone follows her back to the lifts. You bring up the rear. Nora the Loser is dismissed, and sent back to wherever the other girls competing for Ralph's affection - and a "heart-wrenchingly expensive" necklace, you'd recently learned - were spending their time.
You want to retreat and find a book, or go exploring on your own, but the devil on your shoulder tells you to stay. How often does an opportunity to observe the idle rich present itself, after all? Even if they are "heart-wrenchingly" horrible? Perhaps you'll write a book about them someday.
You step onto the promenade deck and breathe in the ocean air, feeling better already. The group walks in a slow circle around the ship, and you listen to the girls gossip about fashion and other passengers and the like. You didn't have a lot to contribute, but they didn't seem to mind.
Eventually, they stop for refreshments in the Café Parisien, a lovely room full of comfortable wicker chairs and ivy-covered trellises. When the gossip turns to white noise, and you take in the details of the decor. You've been to so many breathtaking places on your vacation, but somehow, this brand new ship seems just as wonderful as architectural wonders that have been standing for thousands of years. You could wander this ship for a lifetime and still not notice all the fine details.
"Hello!"
An enthusiastic voice breaks you out of your reverie, and you turn to face the smiling young man at Victoria's side. Right. Her brother, Ralph. The object of many young ladies' affections.
"Hello!" You can't quite match his tone, but you return his smile as best you can. He beams, like no one has ever said hello to him before. His big brown eyes twinkle with excitement, and you wonder if his dimpled cheeks are starting to hurt. It's absolutely adorable.
"Down, Ralph!" Victoria snaps. "She's not for you!"
His face falls, your heart pangs. The poor boy shifts bashfully and stares at the ground.
"It's nearly time to dress for dinner," he says quietly. "You said you wanted to pick out my outfit."
Victoria smirks. "Go to your room and wait for me."
He retreats without a word. You watch his slumped shoulders exit the café doors and wonder what happened to the happy boy who was dancing with different dames all night. He seems like a different person now. Why does he let her boss him around like this? Victoria turns to make sure he's gone, and then leans in conspiratorially. All the girls at the table mirror her.
"Do you want to know what tonight's task is?"
The girls hold their breath and wait.
"They'll have to kiss him! The last person to do so will have to go down below and invite a steerage rat to dinner in the lounge!"
The girls gasp and cover their gaping mouths.
"In public?"
"Where they'll be seen?"
"Oh, Victoria, that's simply wretched!"
"I know!" she says smugly, leaning back in her chair and popping a pastry in her mouth.
The girls giggle, but your excitement about being included is definitely beginning to wane. Is this fair to the man who will be chosen to be part of their spectacle? Could he refuse a first class lady? Would it be fair to Victoria's brother, who was being used for their amusement?
"Alright, let's go dress for dinner," Victoria orders, draining her glass and standing. Everyone else follows suit. "Wait until you see the awful thing I'm going to put Ralph in, you're all going to die laughing!"
You broke from the group to go back to your cabin and dress for dinner with Aunt Molly. You helped each other into fresh outfits and returned to the saloon for another exceptional meal that helped take your mind off the girls you'd escaped. They'd all gone to the À la Carte Restaurant, but you told them that you'd promised your aunt that you would join her for dinner. It wasn't a lie; you just didn't tell them that she would've happily sent you off with people your own age. But you didn't want to. You needed a break from them.
By the time the dessert plates were removed, you thought you might give socializing one last try. This was a rare opportunity for you, after all. And if nothing else, it would make you appreciate being ignored by the other girls like them when you returned home.
You excuse yourself from the dining saloon and return to the lounge, arriving just in time to see Nora pull Ralph to the dance floor. Last night's loss has clearly not disqualified her from continuing the game.
"There she is! You missed all the fun," Georgina pouts, pulling you into the chair next to her. "I stalled Ralph so Victoria could tell the girls about the new incentive she thought of during dinner: Take Ralph to bed and keep him out of Victoria's hair for a full twenty-four hours, and you'll get to spend the rest of the trip with us! Look how she's hanging all over him!"
Your eyes drift back to Ralph and Nora. He's telling her something, and she's laughing frequently and loudly. Touching him as much as she can get away with in public. It's all fake. He can see that, right?
"Does Ralph know that he's playing a game?" you ask.
"No!" Georgina laughs. "It's just a bit of fun. He's hopeless and pathetic. They're bored and loose. Victoria's a genius, don't you think?" You open your mouth as if to answer, and then think better of it. Georgina notices your change in mood. "Don't you realize how lucky you are? Other girls are willing to be defiled by him for a chance to walk the promenade with us. You got in free of charge!"
This is why you never fit in with the girls at home; because they're exactly like Victoria and her gang. Scheming wretches who only care about social status, or money, or the latest fashion, or today's gossip, or having fun at someone else's expense. They don't care about people, or feelings, or things that actually matter. They're just like your mother. You'd rather be alone than be part of this.
You get up without another word and exit through the nearest door. It's chilly out, but it's better than being in there. You walk until you reach an open section of deck and find a bench. You sit for a moment, staring at the bright stars. It's so peaceful out here.
You lie down, stretching out across half of the double-sided bench, and stare upward so that all you see is the night sky. The stars look so much clearer than they do at home. Is it because there are no city lights to interfere with them? Or has your world really changed so much, that even the stars look different now?
You lie there and ponder until you hear footsteps and giggling. Pick another bench, you beg silently. Just keep walking.
"Here we are," a man announces before two bodies come to rest on the other side of your bench. Do you get up and leave? Pretend you're not here? What if they notice you? Should you pretend to be asleep?
You hear them kiss, and wish you could roll off of this bench and land two decks below.
"Dearest," the girl purrs. "Do you think you could show me your stateroom?"
"My stateroom?" the man asks.
You know that voice.
"Yes," she breathes, probably in his ear. "I bet it's fabulous."
"But… but…" he protests.
"I'd like to show you something," she whispers suggestively.
"Wh-what would you like to show me?" he stutters.
"Shhhh. It's a secret."
His breath hitches. You wonder where her hands are, and wish you were literally anywhere else.
"D-don't you think we ought to get to know each other first?" he asks nervously.
"I know all I need to know, lovey," she purrs.
You sense a shift on the other side of the bench, like he's trying to slide away. He yelps. She laughs her stupid fake laugh again.
You scoff.
And then you freeze.
You didn't mean to.
If discovered, you planned on pretending to be asleep.
But two heads peek over the top of the bench at you. You're caught. Do you apologize, or go on the offensive?
"What is it that you know about him?" you ask. Offensive it is.
"Pardon me?" she asks.
You sit up. "This person you've shared a whole two dances with. What do you know about him?"
"Plenty of things!"
"Such as?"
The question seems to stun her. And of course it does; he's only a pawn in a silly little game, isn't he?
"The reason he's on board? His favorite course during tonight's dinner?" She stares blankly. "Here's an easy one: What color are his eyes?"
She glances at him before answering: "Blue, obviously."
You might laugh if the brown-eyed boy sitting next to her on the dark bench beneath the stars didn't look so crushed.
"Do you even like him?"
"Of course I do!" she insists, hand over her heart as if you've offended her to the very core.
"Then why don't you tell him what you're really after? Or would you rather wait twenty-four hours and let him find out on his own? Would that be more fun for you?"
You run out of steam when you glance toward Ralph and see the recognition dawning on his face.
"Nora?" he asks pitifully. "Is this a game?"
She scoffs and gets off the bench, stomping back toward the lounge. You and Ralph are left alone.
"I'm sorry, Ralph," you tell him gently.
His head hangs, and your "sorry" doesn't seem like enough.
"I'm sorry that they treat you this way, and I'm sorry that I didn't speak up sooner. It's not fair, what they were doing to you."
He shakes his head. "I should know better by now. No one will ever really want me."
"I'm sure that's not true," you argue.
"It is," he sniffles. "Everyone knows it. I'm annoying and pathetic and no one will ever want me. Even my own twin says so."
Twin? Victoria is his twin, and still treating him this way? Your heart breaks for the poor boy.
"I know that I haven't known you for very long, but would you like to know what I think?"
He peeks up at you curiously through his wet lashes, so you continue.
"I think you're a handsome young man with a big heart and a nice smile," you begin slowly. "One day, you will find someone who deserves you. And she won't give a damn what your sister, or anyone else, has to say about you. Because her love will be real, and that will be all that matters."
He ducks his head and wipes away a tear.
"And you're a terrific dancer, too," you add to lighten the mood.
"Thank you," he chuckles, as another tear streaks down his cheek.
"You've ruined everything!" The shrill voice of Victoria cuts through the night like a knife aimed directly at your eardrums.
A crowd has gathered to see who's ruined everyone's fun. Victoria and Georgina are leading the pack. They stand square-shouldered and glare like you've ruined their lives rather than a stupid game. You wonder if you should get up and curtsy.
"We trusted you!" "We treated you like one of us!" "This is what we get for associating with people who clearly do not belong in first class!" Their voices overlap, but you get the gist. They stand there expectantly, as if waiting for an apology.
You give them a shrug.
"Ugh!" Victoria spins and stomps back toward the lounge. Georgina follows, and then the rest of their herd.
You let out a slow breath when they disappear from view. Where do you go from here? You and Ralph sit in silence until you can't stand it anymore.
"Well…" you chuckle. "I supposed I should get to bed, before they decide to come back and toss me into the sea."
"May I walk you?" Ralph asks, trying to dry his eyes subtly as he rises from his side of the bench.
"You don't have to do that," you smile.
"A lady ought not be wandering alone at nighttime, even on a ship as grand as this," he says, puffing his chest out in an attempt to appear broader than he is.
"If you insist?"
He nods and holds his arm out. You take it gently.
"I'm sharing a cabin with my aunt on A-Deck."
Ralph nods in acknowledgement and leads you the long way around instead of to the door you'd both recently come out of.
The walk passes in silence.
"This is it," you say quietly, turning to face him when you reach your door. "Thank you for the escort, Mr… I'm afraid I don't know your surname."
"Penbury," he supplies with a sad smile. "But please call me Ralph."
"Ralph it is, then." You introduce yourself, thank him once more, and he leans down to kiss the back of your hand like a gentleman who hasn't just had his heart broken.
"Good night, kind sir," you whisper when he stands.
"Good night, lovely lady," he whispers back.
You step inside your room, close the door, and listen to him walk away before getting dressed for bed.

the other day i wrote a little smth as a warm up that is based mostly on musings i associate with @officialgleamstar (thank u travvy ily) and i have decided against my better judgement to post it! for funsies
~~~
Taylor’s mom bought the house.
It was a gift to them, after Normal had studied and studied to learn a spell that could regrow her disintegrated hand and after the near end of the world left them far too behind in their schooling to catch up. A safe place: they didn’t have to live there, but Link stayed there as he slowly mended the relationship with his dad, and sometimes Taylor would come for solitude, and sometimes Normal would visit just to get away from his family.
And Scary? Well.
After her stepdad’s death, she hadn’t gone back home. How could she? Her relationship with her mother was irreparably destroyed, torn to shreds and left a bleeding corpse. It was hard enough to call her when all was said and done, hands trembling as she tried to explain the craziness of the world.
She loves her mother. Her mother doesn’t deserve this: a heart broken twice over, the death of her husband and subsequent death of the daughter she knew. No, it was easier for Scary to go to Normal’s dad and beg him to use magic to wipe her mother’s memory, to give her a chance to start again.
She hopes that she’s happy, somewhere, somehow. It would make everything worth it.
Hermie stays with her at the new house most often. He, too, couldn’t go back home to his adopted parents after everything, not with how long he’s been gone, the truth of his heritage revealed. Despite it, Scary almost doesn’t mind: she likes the company, surprisingly enough.
Hermie’s mellowed out over the years. Now, at eighteen, she’s been working on her GED just like Scary has, wanting to fly over the world and audition at different colleges. I still think it’d be neat to get on Broadway, they had confessed to Scary once, when the dark of the night had been heavy and oppressive and all they could do was sit on the porch and share a blunt. Feels like a silly goal after the end of the world, though.
When they’re not trying so hard, he’s actually kind of a neat person. Scary finds his company endearing.
They never had gotten their marriage annulled. It was pointless: Taylor’s dad, for all his charms, was legally dead after disappearing when Taylor was a kid, and it would just be too much effort. Scary doesn’t think she minds, even if she hadn’t technically consented to the marriage in the first place.
Tonight, though, Normal is the one visiting. She finds him sitting in the living area, curled up in the pillows, staring wistfully at the TV screen when she comes down the stairs to make herself dinner.
“Hey, Norm,” she greets, softly, watching the way his gaze flickers to her and back again. “What’s wrong?”
“Hi, Terri,” Normal mumbles, and he shifts around a little bit, leaving just enough space for Scary to squeeze in next to him, drawing him into her arms. He goes willingly, pliant against her chest, shivering.
His hair has grown out into a wild mess of curls that he’s braided loosely. It’s cute. He’s cute, although Scary would never admit so out loud.
“Mom’s made some progress with Margaret,” he explains, his tone muffled as Scary starts to work on unbraiding his hair– as it is, it’s half fallen out, and will only make it harder to sleep later, she knows the pain pretty well. “But with Dad spending so much time with my grandparents… I don’t know. It just gives me the creeps. Is that bad?”
“If you want me to tell you you’re not a bad person, you’ve come to the wrong gal,” Scary snorts. “I’m glad to see you though. Feels like it’s been forever since you came to visit last.”
“I might stay for a few days this time. At least until Dad gets back. She told me that she’d be finding an apartment when she came back to San Dimas, so I won’t have to deal with Margaret smiling at me all the time.” Normal shudders, and he makes a quiet whimpering sound as Scary’s fingers brush a little too close to his neck.
“Stay as long as you want, seriously,” Scary tells him. “Hermie’s been practicing monologues at me again, and let me tell you, I did not miss the method acting one bit.”
Normal laughs at that, and then they fall quiet.
For some reason, he’s the easiest one to deal with, in the aftermath of it all. Link is just… angry at the world, and all the sweet charm that had attracted Scary to him in the first place is gone, replaced with a quiet frustration. Oh, he’s still the loyal teddy bear to them and the others, but even as he repairs things with Grant…
…he hasn’t been the same, after it all.
Then again, had any of them? Scary thinks if she told her younger self that one day she’d be here, living in an extravagant house paid by a famous voice actress, holding Normal Oak in the closest facsimile to a relationship she’s ever had… well, she’d think it was a crazy fever dream, for sure.
It’s nice. Scary’s had the concept of family broken and plastered with glue and duck-tape and then broken again, but somehow she’s found it, and she’s found it here: playing with Normal’s hair, twisting the curls in her fingers now that it’s freed from its constraints, his head tucked into her chest, body pliant against hers.
It’s the closest thing to love that she has, and by the Gods Above, she’s going to take it.
“Norm, I can feel you falling asleep against me,” she finally says, snickering with amusement at the way Normal only hums in response. “Do you wanna change first? Or at least go upstairs?”
“I’m already comfy right here,” he replies, the pout evident in his tone, and to punctuate it, he nuzzles further into her chest, nudging Scary backwards until she’s comfy herself against the arm of the couch, Normal crumpled in her arms. Here, their legs are intertwined, and she can still play with his hair, and the blankets they keep on the couch for this specific reason are all tangled around them.
“You’re gonna have to deal with my backache tomorrow,” she warns, but she can’t keep the smile out of her tone, and she hesitates, and then commits, leaning in to press a kiss to Normal’s forehead. “Get some rest, dork. I’ll get Hermie to make us pancakes in the morning.”
“Hermie’s pancakes suck,” Normal huffs, but as his breath evens out, Scary just smiles again.
It’s not what she pictured for herself, sure, but in this moment? There’s nowhere else she’d rather be.

Another thing about these “trans gays” lamenting over not having the Gay Teen Experience they see on shows/movies/etc. like Heartstopper, The Prom, and Love, Simon...is that those media depictions are very much idealised versions of gay teenhood.
If you’re actually a gay teen, there’s a good chance you aren’t going to stumble across another gay teen to fall in love with. You probably aren’t going to have an awakening because of one person and have them fall in love with you back. You probably aren’t going to be your crush’s awakening.
Hell, you likely won’t even know another gay person!! At least not another gay man if you’re male, or another lesbian if you’re female. Throughout all my grade school years as a lesbian, I know of one gay guy (who never had a boyfriend), and one lesbian (idk her dating history). I do know a few bisexuals, so there’s that.
Being Gen Z, I’m lucky enough to have grown up in the most accepting time for LGB people. I was out in middle school and even had a “girlfriend” when I was 13. I say “girlfriend” in quotes because you know how middle school dating goes. It wasn’t anything remotely serious, just holding hands in the hall and cuddling in the library and getting away with it because we’re both girls (gals being pals!). I, being 13, didn’t really know what I was doing and wasn’t wanting anything serious, so it wasn’t like the movies where the gay teens are going out for movie dates and getting ice cream together and all that. I’m not sure that’s real even for the OSA kids. Certainly not for the gay kids.
Point is, despite being in an era and environment where it would be fairly safe for me to have the Movie Gay Teen Experience, I didn’t have it. Most of us don’t. And sometimes I think about it, as I finish off my last year of high school and hear girls talking about their boyfriends—how they go to his cottage in the summer, how they go on dates. As I see them walk down the hall hand in hand, sneaking kisses. I see it all and I sometimes think, damn, I wish I could’ve had that. But it was simply not an experience that was available to me. Even if I was ready for a relationship and not a bit of a recluse, even if I was at a point where I’d be comfortable telling my parents I had a girlfriend, it’s not like I have a giant dating pool.
That Gay Teen In Love Experience is something I’ve just had to let go of. I think this is true for most gay people. We acknowledge that we missed out on something our OSA peers experienced, and we acknowledge that it might even set us back as far as dating maturity/experience goes. And then we move on, because there’s not much else we can do but that.
So to see these “trans gays”—who are heterosexual, and therefore could have easily experienced what they say they missed if they hadn’t been so obsessed with pretending to be gay—whine about “missing out” on an experience that isn’t even theirs to mourn? It’s maddening! They’re acting as if gay people get to live like the movie gays do. We do not. The fact they think we do shows just how out of touch they are with what it’s like to be gay.
They only see the side of being gay that the movies show them, which isn’t so much a “side of being gay” as it is a fantasy. They don’t know what it’s like to grow up gay. All they know is what it’s like to grow up straight, with soft gay teen movies playing on repeat in their heads. They prove it when they act like missing out on a gay teenhood is sad and tragic, while actual gay people wish we had missed out on it—it would have spared us from the loneliness, isolation, shame, sadness, and pain that all too often comes with growing up gay. It’s not a fairytale. Any gay person can tell you that. (But of course, the straight people who pretend to be us have never been too interested in listening to what we have to say.)

Ocean Burial: A History!
Howdy! My name is Olivine! I’ve been a big fan for a hot minute now, but I just wanted to let you know how much I loved your newest story about Bone Beach. Now, I am an aspiring ethnomusicologist, and imagine my surprise when I first saw one of my favorite songs in the story! I just wanted to share some information about its deep and storied history. 
Our story tonight begins many, many years ago, with a young man from New York. Edwin Hubbell Chapin was a teenager when he wrote his poem Ocean Burial, also known as Bury Me Not, while training to become a priest. Shortly after its publication (by Edgar Allen Poe’s poetry journal!), a popular sheet music writer named George N. Allen set it to music, and thusly, one of the most tragic songs of the age was born.
But its growth did not halt there. But first, I have to take a step back and give y'all a tad bit of context. I am a Southern gal, born and raised (Southern US, that is),  and I never did know any “Ocean Burial”. However, when I was just a young child, I fell in love with the mysterious, haunting ballad that my father sung to us all as a lullaby. It told the tale of a young cowpoke who laid in the prairie brush at sunset, breathing his final prayer to his companions.
“Bury me not, on the lone prairie." 
You see, Chapin’s song had grown wings and took flight far over the lands, took the leather and the iron of the cowpokes. Through the oral tradition and the ancient magic of stories among travelers, this sailing song had become a tragedy of the American cowboy. 
First published by John Lomax, sources at the time claimed that it came from the Uvalde region. Some believe that it was originally the Lohn Prairie, the name for the vast grasslands around the region. It was first recorded in the most popular version (most similar to the original, too) by Charles Sprauge, a boy hailing from Manvel, Texas, not too far from Houston. He grew up as a ranch-hand on his family’s farm, learning songs from his uncles, as well as the transient cowboys and ranch-hands who made their way on through. 
After his service in the first World War, he came home and recorded ”The Dyin’ Cowboy“ in 1925, and would go on to produce a few albums with Victor records. Tragically, his career was cut short but the Great Depression. But ultimately, he shaped American music, especially country, into what we see today. He was the original "Singin’ Cowboy”, giving rise to most every country star from Willie Nelson to Johnny Cash himself. He also had a massive influence on the rise of rock, being one of those oft-touted folk singers who “paved the road for rock n’ roll”.
Now-a-days, it still lives on. Covered by popular artists such as Colter Wall, it still lies in the heart of American folk music. However, it lives on in the spiritual sense. You see, it holds a poignance and timelessness that forever holds the grief of a life cut short. Truth be told, I do believe that Chapin, Lomax, and Sprauge would be glad that their songs have lived on in the minds of so many others, that their dying youth may forever be remembered.
Thanks for your time! I know I have a tendency to ramble, so I apologize if I went on for too long, or ended up getting too philosophical. But my words have been spoken and my tongue’s all sore, so this is it for me tonight. Have a good day, and thank you for your patience!
Check out this amazing little glimpse into the history of ‘The Ocean Burial’! I am delighted to know that I accidentally chose a song for my story with such a rich history!

Hey, I just wanna say I really like those mha ocs u made! The two girls and that one curly haired guy. Can we get more details on them? Anything u wanna say about them?
Oh yo?? Thanks for showing interest my man?? I’ll put it all under the cut so I don’t flood anyone’s screens
Tumblr media
Let’s start off with my gal! cuki chokochi, she’s in the hero course at UA by the name “Precious pockets” and her quirk is, u guessed it, portal pockets! she can store basically anything inside ANY pocket/bag and be the only one to access it! She even knows how to sew to add more pockets, It can’t be organized for shit so she takes a while to find stuff but she is incredibly versatile on the field! she def keeps you on ur toes! But don’t fret normally she’s sweet as she is fluffy, And fun story actually, the reason why her design is kinda misleading is cuz the first quirk concept I had for her was a beast transformation quirk, but the idea was already taken by a canon character and thus had to be changed xD Izzy actually helped spark the pockets idea, I just liked the design too much to fully redo it. Her horns are unevenly grown and she’s a little insecure about her furry features but her friends reassure her she’s lovely way she is, she likes fairy kei/decora fashion but can’t wear too many layers due to her fur, and her favorite things are waffles and stars. she’s also dating iida, she helps him learn to relax.
Tumblr media
Next up is my bestie @needs-to-stop-looking-at-valves ‘s girl! Kokomo kiri. she’s in the support course and has a real knack for creating countless new support items/costumes. Her signature is brass knuckles lol and her quirk is nightmare noms, She can make nightmares reality just by eating them from her victims minds when asleep, thanks to her eyes she can visually see their dreams. They can even look different based on the contents of said dream. Once eaten, she can conjure up very convincing illusions and use all your senses against you, She’s a master at mimicry and can even make someone fall asleep just by making eye contact, it’s why I designed her eyes to be hypnotic swirls! basically nightmares are her fuel, but if she gets too backed up she vomits a black sludge that if touched can make one more prone to fear. It’s actually why her hands are permanently stained. She also suffers from insomnia, she’s an acquired taste for sure and she speaks very weirdly but she just loves in her own special way! Albeit she’s very crude and impulsive. And very blunt. with a super dark sense of humor too. But I promise she’s nice! She wears a beanie to hide her messy bed head and Her favorite things are banana bread and bats, she’s dating sato. And yes. He makes her banana bread whenever she wants.
Tumblr media
And lastly but not LEAST we have our absolute LAD tomonari jishaku! Him and cuki are in the hero course together! He goes by the name “checkmate”. Cuki gives him confidence whilst kiri keeps him humble. By bullying him. but she loves the nerd, she really does. His quirk is magnet, he has metal protrusions on his chest and arms, with the left hand he pushes and with the right he pulls, he’s super skilled and trains hella hard but if he over uses it’s a lotta stress on his poor nerves. despite his very anxious and quite frankly pushover demeanor, when the time calls for it, he for sure can kick your ass. He just needs a little encouragement?? Don’t we all? He’s a huge video game nerd and he actually tends to avoid cursing, and conflict. his favorite things are pineapple pizza, pink lemonade and photography. He has pictures hung up everywhere and He’s dating tetsutetsu. They’re very homo gym bros
And all together this trio is called the creation crew, like how the big three call themselves. Well. The big three! These guys all create things in their own ways, pretty fitting team name if you ask me, And if you really read this far? I SUPER appreciate it! ✨

Reprisal | Chapter Two
coriolanus snow x gaul oc
Summary: Ten years after the Tenth Hunger Games, Coriolanus Snow is under Dr. Volumnia Gaul’s wing as a Gamemaker alongside her niece. Unbeknownst to either of them, they’re both being prepared for a much greater task.
Warning: This story will contain explicit violence against adults and children alike (I mean, it’s Dr. Gaul AND Snow) as well as explicit language, and sexual situations.
***This fic is in no way, shape, or form, me endorsing or co-signing the horrific shit Snow does, nor am I trying to romanticize it. Also, apathy and will be the main driving force of any remnants of a relationship between my OC and Snow’s character. So if you’re interested in something very romantic and fluffy…it’s not gonna be this.
I hope you enjoy, thanks for reading
Tumblr media
     Ice blue eyes glance over the sheet of scribbles, each line of writing numbered. 
“Why would we allow them to take weapons into the arena when weapons are already provided?” He questions, raising his brows in anticipation for the thoughtless response that’s a stuttering, “W-Well…” from Philo Marius as he struggles to keep up with the Gamemaker’s stride. 
The young man was five years Coriolanus’ junior, having been assigned as his apprentice.
Gaul had to have been punishing them both for some unknown misdemeanor. 
“The more weapons one has, the greater their chance of survival.” Philo suggests, hopefully. 
Snow takes in a deep breath, his knuckles itching with irritation at the answer while Philo adds, “I mean, we don’t want them to survive. We want them to maim one another to the death. Any victor left after the fact is merely fortunate enough to have grown the gal to defend themselves, or fortunate enough to stay hidden away for long enough time,” to which Coriolanus hands him back his list of ideas. 
“We don’t arm pissed off barbarians until after they’re no longer a risk to the safety of Capitol citizens.” Snow says it as if scolding him for being so empty minded, the two of them approaching the laboratory that a familiar face is seemingly guarding. 
“Darling?” Livia questions, seeing her husband growing closer to her. 
“Is Dr. Crane occupied?” He asks her, accepting her chaste kiss to his lips. 
“Oh, she’s…gone. Abandoned her students there by themselves in the middle of an exploratory lesson.” 
“What?” He glances inside the lab, seeing the small group of students circled around a table, disguising how bothered he is by the revelation. 
“There is a cut-open mutt on the table. And she left it. With her gaggle of amateurs.” She shakes her head, disappointment lacing her quiet voice. 
“Did something happen?” He asks next, casually, to which his wife’s dark lashes bat rapidly. 
“She’s just off her rocker, Coryo. I mean…the only reason she’s still employed here is because her aunt is Dr. Gaul.” 
“Liv.” It’s her he’s scolding, now, only for her to raise a brow and state, “If I did what she does – if either of us did what she does – we’d be gone in less than a day.” 
He won’t argue with her, not here, his eyes instead going back to the group of students his wife is monitoring before he’s taking a step inside. 
“It’s a sterile environment.” Livia insists, grabbing at his hand to keep him from going. 
“What are they working on?” He nods to the Avox lying sedated on the table.
“I have no idea. That’s probably just a next door neighbor she hates.” She scoffs. 
“Or a rebel.” Philo reminds them both of his presence. 
The sound of shouting from down the hallway pulls their attention, Livia grasping his hand a little tighter as if keeping him in his place before asking, “Is that..?”trailing off at the sound of Tawny, her eyes widening. 
She has to hide the grin that wants to creep to her lips. 
There is no way she could come back after such a ruckus – especially if she’s screaming at one of her bosses. 
Coriolanus has to plant his feet on the ground, refusing to move them despite his skin growing hot and prickly at the sound of her.  
Something had to have happened to get her so upset she’d leave her students just to cause a scene, here of all places. 
He wants to go tear into her for being so unprofessional. Embarrassing herself. Embarrassing him. 
No, he doesn’t dare go see for himself. 
“Did you need her for something?” Livia asks him as the sound of Tawny’s yelling fades further away. 
“Hmm?” Snow is plucked from his thoughts, his pretty wife smiling widely. 
“You came here for a reason? I’m assuming you needed to speak with Dr. Crane about something.” She explains. 
“I was going to speak with her about one of her cases.” Or five, He wants to add as he informs her, to which she rolls her dark blue eyes. 
“I know her aunt isn’t allowed to examine her work due to potential breach of ethics, but if you have to trek all the way down here every time one of her experiments doesn’t go the way they need to –”
“ – It’s a part of my job, Livia, to collaborate with you all.” 
“Not with me .” She bitterly lets out. 
Ceres Byrne was her collaborator to keep bias to a minimum, just like Dr. Gaul couldn’t be Tawny’s, so Coriolanus was assigned to her. 
“And I still get to see you. So the trip is worth it.” He assures her smoothly, causing a blush to redden her cheeks.
“If you say so.” She nudges him as he lightly taps at the tip of her nose with his finger, turning to go. 
“I’ll be late getting home.” He adds as an afterthought. 
“I might be, too, depending on how long this all takes.” Livia replies, stopping him in his tracks as he looks at Philo, a new thought crossing his mind. 
“I’ll stay here until they finish up, you go tend to whatever else you need to do.” He offers, seeing her give him a curious expression that’s cloaked in her sweet grin. 
“Coryo, that’s not necessary.” She assures him.
“Like you said, Liv, there’s no telling how long you’ll be here. You have to be here earlier than I do in the morning. There’s no sense in you staying if you don’t have to, so you can go and I’ll wait for the gaggle of amateurs to finish or for Dr. Crane to get back.” 
“If she’s still employed at all.” She sighs out before kissing his cheek, quickly stating, “Thank you. I love you. I’ll see you at home.” 
“See you at home.” He says to her as she heads down the hall back to her office. 
Philo waits awkwardly to be dismissed, Coriolanus not paying him any mind as his own eyes focus back to the laboratory of students sewing the Avox back together. 
He never knows when a good time to even open his mouth to speak to Coriolanus is, convinced Snow despises him. 
He’s not entirely incorrect. 
“Um…I also have to be here early tomorrow, so —”
“Have a good evening, Mr. Marius.” It’s spoken quickly, without looking at him. 
“You, too, sir.” 
A few more minutes pass, Cyn glancing through the window of the lab to see Coriolanus Snow where Dr. Cardew once stood. 
“Shhhit, it’s Snow.” She hisses under her breath to her colleagues, a panicked energy beginning to bubble up. 
Snow’s reputation preceded him through every hallway of the Academy, the University, and the Citadel…every street of the Capital…more than likely every street of each District. 
His place was Dr. Gaul’s shadow. 
If she moved, he moved. 
If he found someone’s work interesting enough to garner his attention, it would garner Gaul’s, and likewise. 
He might as well be Head Gamemaker along with her. 
And he’s standing outside the lab, more than interested in what exactly they’re doing. 
“Just pretend he’s not out there.” She adds, noticing the way Atticus’ hand shakes slightly as he continues sewing up the Avox. 
“Dr. Crane is so screwed.” Bellamy says. “Leaving us in here is a new low. Now that Snow knows about it, she’s done with. We might as well prepare for a new — ”
“—What happened?” 
The breath leaves their body as Coriolanus enters, a mask covering his face, being unable to tolerate the dark he’d been left in on the situation at hand. 
No one dares to remind him it’s a sterile environment, that he shouldn’t be in here as close as he is to them, contaminating the air. 
They allow him to keep moving forward until he’s peering over the dead Avox. 
Damn it, Crane , he stops himself from gritting it between his teeth before his eyes look at Atticus who’s tying off the last of the stitches. 
“Mr. Dovecote, what happened?” His voice is patient but demanding, Atticus glancing at Cyn and Bellamy before letting out a heavy breath. 
“Dr. Crane’s husband sent for her, and was adamant, apparently. She told me to –”
“I didn’t ask why she is not accounted for.” He interrupts, sternly, Atticus nodding to himself before starting, “We had it stable last night before we left. It was fine. We came back and did an exploratory, and the liver was in failure due to too much iron in a copper-based environment.”
“What steps were taken to attempt combatting the liver failure?” Snow’s question has Cyn and Bellamy looking to one another with wide, worried eyes. 
Atticus hesitates, not wanting to get Dr. Crane in any more trouble than she surely already is in. 
Bellamy seizes her opportunity to try to get on his good side, blurting, “She just killed it. She said we needed to cut our losses and pull the plug, and that we learn by wasting.” 
“Bellamy.” Cyn sneers.
“If you want to go down with her on her aflame sinking ship, that’s your prerogative. But I’m not paying for consequences that I didn’t buy.” She replies in the same tone before looking back to Coriolanus, who waits patiently for Atticus to finish, Clemensia’s brother stripping his hands from his gloves, and plucking his mask off, before Snow says to them,“You’re all dismissed when you clean up.” 
“I’ve got to get this to the morgue.” Atticus insists, glancing at the corpse of another failure. 
“I’ll take care of it.” He says flatly.
Dr. Crane will take care of it, more so. 
Once all is back to how they left it, the younger peers leave for the night, leaving Coriolanus to himself as he waits for Tawny’s return.
After several minutes, he glances at his pocket watch, scoffing. 
He’d be later getting home tonight than he had been in months. 
It’s when he hears footsteps approaching the lab that he comes to his feet, heading to the door, only to grimace. 
“Dr. Crane.” He says to Dyess, the dark haired man searching the lab briefly in a scan of his cobalt blue eyes.
“Snow, how are you?” Dyess replies in a grin, “Have you seen my wife?” it’s asked before Coriolanus can even answer the first question. 
“No, I haven’t. I heard her down the hallway earlier.” He says, to which her husband huffs out, “Yeah, she’s um…she’s not happy at the moment…with me or Dr. Gaul. I let it slip that Gaul’s been contemplating relieving her of her duties here.”
Coriolanus has to bring faux shock to his face, having known of the matter weeks ago. 
It’s why he’d been trying to get it through Tawny’s thick skull that lollygagging as she had been doing wasn’t going to be tolerated much longer. 
“Oh.” He says to Dyess. 
“Yeah. She was happy because two of my projects got chosen for the next Games, but then I opened my big mouth and ruined everything.”
Imagine that , Coriolanus thinks to himself, his mouth starting to grow sore from hiding the frown he wants to present, getting a chance to put some of his pent up disdain for the man to good use when Dyess asks, “Were you looking for her, too?” Referring to Snow being in her lab. 
“I’m actually waiting to see her, myself. We have to talk about a few things regarding her past couple projects.”
Dyess’ lips twitch as if he, too, is hiding a clenched jaw and frown. 
Coriolanus appreciates the fact that Dyess is so easily riled, adding, “I’ll have her home at a decent time.” 
If I feel like giving her back . 
“With how she was acting earlier, you can keep her.” Dyess chuckles, Snow forcing out a chortle of his own. “Well, I’ll see you tomorrow morning, Mr. Snow.” He adds, turning. “I better get home and make sure dinner is ready by the time she gets back or I’ll be sleeping here tonight.” 
“See you tomorrow.” Coriolanus states, his smile falling from his face as he glances once more at the pocket watch. 
Moving to Tawny’s office down the hall, he sits at her desk and waits for her, waiting what seems another hour before the familiar click of her heels is coming right toward the door. 
She comes to a halt as soon as she realizes his unannounced presence before turning around to walk away, harshly mumbling, “I’m not doing this tonight.” 
“Dr. Crane, we need to talk.” He calls after her, those “clicks” going quiet while he thumbs through the folder he snagged from her lab. 
The sound of her coming back brings a satisfied smirk to his lips, his blue eyes raking over her as soon as she’s in front of him. 
Her brown eyes are puffy, swollen from crying out her anger, her rage, her resentment…she shuts the door behind her.
“I’ve been wondering where you went off to.” He says, giving her the chance to explain everything in one sweep to save himself some questioning.
Only she toys with him.
“I had to change.” She replies, waiting for him to say something else, but he doesn’t. “Did you know?” She crosses her arms, finally speaking again. 
“Yeah.” He admits, not ever feeling the need to lie to her before, so why do it now? “I knew.” 
She doesn’t say anything else, now, taking in a deep breath while he continues, “I wasn’t present in the meetings, but I’ve known. It’s why I’ve been trying to throw you a bone…though I see now that you enjoy throwing them back to me.” 
“I’ve been working my ass off, Snow –”
“--You’ve been wasting resources.” He drops the folder to the table, the thud of it hitting the wood is thunderous and deliberate. “Toiling with time, money, lab space, then telling your students it’s perfectly okay to waste those resources because that somehow coincides with learning.” 
“I’ve been trying. Hell, even things I’ve pleaded for Aunt V to help me with, and she has, still end up in the morgue, or rabid, or…” She trails off in a fit of frustration, turning her back to him, unable to keep herself composed with him looking at her.
It’s an infuriating thing that she does anytime they go back and forth. 
Refusing to look at him, refusing to acknowledge him or what he’s saying…
Thirty-four year old adolescent. She’s fortunate to be receiving any help from me at all.
Taking in a breath to calm himself, he stands to his feet, easing around her desk.
His hands stay in his pockets to resist the temptation of grabbing a handful of her hair and force her to look at him.
Then her mind would certainly start roaming to matters other than her work and she would drag him with her, leaving them both spent and flushed to arrive home to their spouses. 
No, he keeps his hands to himself, even his body to himself, staying no less than two feet from her. 
Patiently, he waits for her to calm, wipe the new tears she attempts to keep quiet from him. 
It’s when she gets a hold of herself and straightens her shoulders that he asks, “Are you done?” 
“Mhmm.” She nods, turning back to face him. 
“It’s not my job to nail you to the ground for being inadequate at your job. But…it is my job to tell you when you’re insufficient. And this last year – especially the last six months – has made me and so many others question whether you deserve to be here or not…whether you want to be here or not.” He says to her emptily, knowing she’s already heard this from Gaul, but she’s hearing it again from him. 
He wants to make it as clear as he can that she can’t afford anymore losses. 
“Do you?” He asks her, watching her nod as she hoarses out a, “Yes, I do…I just…”
She just what?
“You just what?” He presses, brows dropping as he takes a step closer, damning his invisible line he drew. 
“I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.” She says quietly. “I retrace my steps, I look over my notes, I compare notes my students have taken – I’ve compared notes to Aunt V’s…it’s like everything falls apart out of nowhere…no warnings, or preliminaries.” 
Apparently he’s not very good at hiding his expression in this moment, her jaw rolling as she scoffs. 
“Of course you don’t believe me.” She turns and reaches for the door but he reaches over her and slams it shut once she gets it ajar.
Her eyes close, her forehead nearly resting against the wood as the close proximity between the two of them is not lost on her. 
One of his hands lays flat above her head, the other is in his pocket but that’s no good when she feels the heat of his chest against her back, the idea of moving just a centimeter backward has her face burning red and her thighs trying not to rub together for some relief. 
It’s nothing he misses, his ego getting a good rub at the sight of her trying to keep her composure. 
She’s always the first to fold, melting in his hands, against his lips, his teeth, his tongue…
“We agreed not to do this anymore.” She reminds him quietly, keeping her eyes closed.
She doesn’t trust herself to even get a glimpse of those blue eyes that always silently coax her to her knees, greedy for anything he’s willing to give her no matter how loveless or degrading. 
That’s all it was, really. 
It started as stress relief, pent up tension between them going back and forth when she was first assigned to him, and him to her. 
Bouncing ideas off one another, him checking in on her work, offering unsolicited advice to her that she despised because more times than not, he was right.
One night they split a bottle of whiskey she had stolen from Dyess’ collection of liquors and wines while Livia was away for the weekend visiting her mother’s estate on the outskirts of the Capitol… 
At first they carried on as normal, collaborating teetering on the line of arguing, then another glass brought on the giggles.
Everything they did or said was hilarious…then more whiskey.
The speech had started slurring, the lines started blurring, and before either one of them had any grasp of themselves, they were right there in Coriolanus’ living room floor, laid on the plush rug, her hands in his hair while his tongue drew any and every cry, moan, scream, plead, and curse she had.
It meant nothing. They accepted that, they preferred that. Him especially. 
The next morning they awoke with pounding heads, and vomit-lined throats.
Then they sobered up, cleaned up, and tried to discuss what had happened, and in the midst of that discussion realized that neither of them fancied doing anything half-assed.
So the little hiccup of one night together broiled into a full fledged affair, the unspoken declaration of it being the entire Snow penthouse having bared witness to their actions. 
Her, splayed out on the dining room table, back arched her brown eyes rolled back while his fist held her throat, somewhat muffling the evidence of her peak while he’d licked  the sweat that rolled across the smooth skin of her chest before his tongue had met hers. Or in the big bathroom he shared with Livia, Tawny’s knee shoved up on the marble counter, the foot of her standing leg struggling to keep balanced on tipped-toes while he watched himself fuck her in a way he was certain Dyess Crane had never done – at least she had acted as such when she pleaded with him not to stop, telling him how good it was, her head leaned against his chest, her soft hands over his where they held her breasts. Then in his room, in his bed, grabbing her hips to guide her movements on top of him, her forehead against his, her stomach in a tight knot as she chased her high, tightening around him to the point he nearly finished in her, and she was so reckless in their moments together, so fueled by gluttonous pleasures and the feeling of him that she wouldn’t care.
She’d beg for it nearly every time.
But he couldn’t.
That was too risky.  
The idea of Dyess raising his child as his own jumped on a nerve Snow didn’t know existed. 
No, Coriolanus can’t afford to be dumb again, especially not that dumb.
After nearly a month of using one another, they had agreed to cut it out. 
They both had futures to protect, reputations to keep clean and sparkly for their professional and public appearances.
And that decision was an easy one to make because there were no feelings, no attachments. 
They didn’t miss one another, or long for one another. 
He could still be infuriated with her, or critique her without feeling guilty or obligated to sugar coat it to spare her feelings, and she could still resent his advice and roll her eyes at him when he was being too cynical. 
They still respected one another, and could control themselves.
We agreed not to do this anymore , her words repeat in his mind.
They had agreed not to do this anymore…over three weeks ago. 
She turns to face him, the corners of his mouth pulling upward. 
“We did, and then you did the thing which voided that agreement.” He reminds her, her nostrils flaring at the memory of herself on her knees, touching herself while he used her mouth as he pleased. 
“You have a wife at home to do that kind of stuff with, Snow.” She reminds him, his smile gone in the blink of an eye as he steps backward. “And I have a husband.” 
“Dyess Crane?” He mutters bitterly. 
“I wouldn’t still have a job here if not for him sticking up for me. So, yes, we agreed to stop doing this ,” She motions between the two of them, “Because he doesn’t deserve it. And, I want to push your wife off a tall building, but she seems like she doesn’t deserve it either.” 
He stopped listening after she said the words, “...if not for him sticking up for me…”, turning to look at her again.
“What?” He asks. 
“You get pissy with me for not following your advice but then outright ignore me when I’m speaking?”
“What did he do, Dr. Crane?!” His voice raises, vexed. 
“There were discussions of me being fired, and he told my aunt that if I got fired, then he would leave too.” She says to him, furrowing her brows in confusion. 
She’d assumed that was mentioned to him already by Dr. Gaul. 
He doesn’t say anything else about it, he doesn’t even show he’s still thinking about it, instead collecting the folder on her desk, handing it to her. 
“I’m going to get this last one to the morgue.” He says in reference to the Avox still in the lab. 
“Okay.” She mumbles, grasping the folder from him. 
“We’ll discuss everything tomorrow in-depth. Hopefully we can get your perpetual insufficiency sorted out before the next Games. Your career depends on it, after all.” He reminds her, grabbing his red coat and leaving her alone.

I’m not exactly sure where to go for requests so I’m gonna assume this is okay (I’m new to making requests 😭😭😭) but we all know that Miles grew up in New York and loves the culture there and I just think it would be really funny if he had a girlfriend who was from a very rural southern area and she isn’t used to city life at all. Idk just a silly little thing that popped into my head that I think was cute
ur in the right place don’t worry!! also ur right this is such a funny idea i love it, thank u for requesting! 💜
“sorry, i’m not a city gal”
pairings: 1610!miles morales x fem!reader
warnings: sfw, reader and miles are kinda in a long distance relationship
Tumblr media Tumblr media
you loved miles, you really did. you loved everything about him.
his adorable cheeky smile when he was genuinely happy, the way he awkwardly held your hand when he was feeling clingy. there was just one thing you didn’t understand:
how did he live in such a large and loud place?
you had grown up in a country area where everyone was spread out and cars were consistently used to go basically.. everywhere. so it was definitely a change when you first arrived in brooklyn with no idea where you were going. you were fresh out the train, dusting yourself off and adjusting your headphones.
you already didn’t like this place. did people seriously just be this disrespectful and live with it? chewed gum and stickers blanketed the walls and ground, and you swore you heard the sound of tiny feet scurrying. rats? blegh, you didn’t even want to think about it.
ok.. you thought, just find his apartment, and walk up to his floor. that’s it. you reassured yourself, looking at your cell to remind yourself of the directions.
it took lots of turns, retracing your steps, and asking strangers who had no interest in you, but you made it. you looked up at the tall building blanketed in graffiti.
what if they talk in city slang and i don’t understand? you panicked, biting your freshly-manicured nails. or what if miles decides he wants to break up?! you got yourself even more riled up with your horrible scenarios, fidgeting with your phone.
your panicking was interrupted by your phone’s familiar ringtone, vibrating in your palm. you picked up, still nervous. you perked up as you heard the voice you loved so much: the voice of your boyfriend, miles.
“mi amor, you okay?” he spoke into the phone, obviously anxious to talk to you.
you smiled at his usual awkward reaction. “yeah miles, i’m fine. what’s up?” your visit had been planned for days, carefully organized so that it would fit both of your schedules.
he sighed. “my parents, they won’t let us go out until they talk to you…” he trailed off apologetically, knowing talking to rio and jeff could be a challenge.
you gasped sharply. again?! what do they want this time? you thought to yourself, ridden with fear.
“hey, i can feel you being nervous from all the way over here!” he laughed into the speaker, it was almost like you could hear his stupid grin. “it’s fine. they just want to make sure you’re ‘respectful’ or whatever.” he reassured you.
you felt a smile tugging at your lips, your boyfriend was too adorable for his own good. you sighed in a mockingly dramatic way. “fine, if you insist.” you heard him mutter ‘yes!’ in victory, making you giggle.
“see you soon?” he asked rhetorically.
“soon.” you repeated excitedly, before rushing up the stairs of the apartment.
—————————————————————————
the last hour had been a blur of sweating nervously, having laughing attacks, and sneaking tight squeezes of the hands when mrs. morales & captain morales weren’t looking. you couldn’t even count the amount of times mrs. morales had corrected you on her and her husbands names.
you now sat at the top of the apartment. it was dark, but the lights of the city illuminated the sky beautifully. miles had shared this was one of his favorite places to think, his favorite place, however, was where his late uncle told him how to spray paint.
“it can’t be that bad!” miles laughed, playfully shoving your shoulder.
you sucked your teeth. “i’m afraid it is that bad.” you placed the piece of scrap paper even closer to your chest, making sure it was completely hidden.
“if you show me, i swear i’ll show you my sketches!” he promised, waving around his chunky sketchbook in his hand.
you debated whether not to give in, all the outcomes running through your head. but, the lingering curiosity got to you, you knew you had no choice.
“if you laugh, all those precious figures of yours are going straight out of the packaging.” you warned him with gritted teeth. the anger you showed was hiding your plain anxiousness. miles absolutely adored art, you knew that. but what if yours wasn’t good enough?
he shrugged, confident that he wouldn’t let out a single chuckle. you slowly turned around the white paper to reveal a sketch of miles. in the picture, a slight smile was tugging at his lips, and his eyes seemed to shine through the paper somehow.
he almost immediately tugged the portait into his hands, observing it silently. “wow..” was all he could say.
you squirmed slightly. all his face showed was that he was definitely focused, but did he like it?
“mami, this is amazing.” he turned his head to look at you in awe, but his expression showed he was getting a burst of energy. “how did you hide this from me? you always insist you never want to draw, but there’s no way you’re bad at this!” he laughed, grabbing one of your hands with his free one.
you tried to decipher whether he was just trying to be nice or if he was being honest.
“so let’s see that sketchbook.” you smirked. his face scrunched up in anger.
“i hate you..” he muttered under his breath as he flipped through his book.
“and i love you.” you cupped his face and gave him a soft kiss on the cheek.
—————————————————————————
AHHHH I LOVE MILES ☹️☹️
thanks for reading! likes and reblogs mean the literal world to me <3

Grogu watching Luke (out of frame) lifting up frogs with the Force on Ossus. Image from The Book of Boba Fett, Season 1, Episode 6, From the Desert Comes a Stranger. Calendar by DataWorks.
Ossus was a pretty planet, more or less. There were tall trees, ponds, lakes, and streams. All sorts of bugs and insects. And a fine variety of critters. Grogu had been particularly happy to see that frogs were part of the animal population on Ossus. He’d been worried that it wouldn’t have any. But then he realized that any planet that once held a Jedi Temple was bound to have frogs. 
Why, you might ask? Because Grogu knew that Master Yoda had traveled far and wide in his 900 plus years and that he always brought frogs with him whenever he could. Not a lot of frogs of course and not full grown, adult frogs either. But frogs just ready to hatch. Apparently he wanted to make sure that frogs were available whenever he visited a temple and he didn’t want to burden the local staff with making that possible. Grogu thought he’d been very clever. 
On that day on Ossus it occurred to him that no one had asked the frogs how they felt about it. Master Luke had insisted on eating ration packs and whenever Grogu commented that he’d like something a little fresher, he’d find himself taking a long run with Luke that always culminated him waxing quite poetic about the beauty of their surroundings and how all living things contributed to the Force and their connection to it. 
Now, Grogu knew that all things were connected to and with the Force. That’s why he could pick up a stone as easily as the mudhorn on Arvala-7. He also knew that many Jedi ate meat and fish. Some even ate the bugs that he personally wasn’t that fond of. So he wondered why Luke was so squeamish about him eating frogs. 
It hadn’t been super apparent when Grogu first arrived at Ossus. Not at all. They had a lot of work to do just to get to know one another. Over time however, it became clear that any moment Grogu selected and ‘caught’ a frog, using the Force or just his bare hands, Luke would show up and start a lecture. 
The lecture started the same way most of the time, “My Master once told me…”. That was the beginning of almost all the lessons that Luke thought he was teaching Grogu when he interrupted Grogu’s snack or meal times. Then the lesson/lecture would veer off in a single direction. That direction was ‘that’s not how you catch, treat, manage, or take care of a frog’. Always. 
Grogu usually dropped the frog because it wasn’t worth wasting his time on working out which Gal Basic words would help Luke understand that the frog was a snack not a new friend. He’d tried in the beginning. He really had. Then he just set the frog free and pretended to meditate so Luke would think that he’d learned his lesson.
The lesson Grogu learned was to go out frog hunting at night, when Luke was asleep. That had gone pretty well and Grogu had gotten very used to all the other critters that crept around Ossus at night. His favorite was a kind of huge pill bug. Huge to him at least. If he found the pill bugs at the right time of night, he could ride them to the waste pile where the dung worms were abundant. Since the Ossus pill bugs liked the dung worms as much as Grogu did, they learned to share them. It was like the pill bugs had made him an honorary member of their clan. 
That made Grogu sigh. Just thinking about clans and families made him think about the Mandalorian. He was part of Din Djarin’s clan. The Mudhorn Clan. A Clan of Two. Wow. He missed his friend and guardian, although he was pretty sure that the Mandalorian felt exactly the same way as Luke did about Grogu’s favorite food. The difference was that the bounty hunter would just say ‘Spit that out’. Very direct and no explanation of why that was required. No lessons. No tricks. No squeamishness. 
Perhaps if Grogu found a way to contact the Mandalorian, he could ask his guardian to send Luke a note saying that Grogu was required to eat at least one frog a day to remain healthy. But as soon as he thought about that he could hear Luke’s lecture on the subject and that if he was sick Luke would be happy to heal him with the Force. 
Dank Farrik! That was no good. Maybe he should send Din Djarin a note and request that he send Grogu some flash frozen froglets, a compromise they’d found between the larger fresh frogs that grossed the Mandalorian out and the flavors that Grogu preferred in his daily meals. Maybe Luke wouldn’t find that so problematic. The freeze dried froglets never managed to hop out of Grogu’s mouth and that was a plus in a lot of ways. 
Or he could tell Luke the story of Master Yoda using the Force to collect some frogs for a snack while he was taking a class of younglings on a tour through the arboretum, pointing out plants and bugs and other things that were of general interest. Grogu had followed the Jedi Master’s lead and collected a frog as a snack for himself. 
“Eat that you may, when offered it to others you have. Selfish be not.” 
Grogu had nodded his head and offered the frog to some of the other younglings. Only Ian had been half interested and then only to see if he could actually swallow the critter. Grogu managed to get it back and Ian swore off testing his personal limits that way. It had been a good time for everyone. 
That might be just the ticket for Luke. Maybe he’d never tried frog and didn’t realize how good it was. As an adult human he shouldn’t have any of the same problems as Ian had. Grogu smiled to himself at that thought. Now this was the Way.

The Hobbits raising gn!child!reader
Bilbo Baggins
Tumblr media
First this Hobbit comes back from an "unrespectable" adventure and now he's taking care of some lost child he found near outside the Shire, nah this just ain't right was what his neighbors thought, but Bilbo Baggins, son of Belladonna and Bungo begged to differ. He'll teach you all about what it means to be a Baggins. He's never had any biological children of his own, but it didn't really matter if you were blood-related, or not. Bilbo cares about you like a father. Not having much experience in parenting does make him kind off anxious sometimes. He's just scared you'll get hurt, or those bloody Sackville-Bagginses would try to scare you away, but he'll stand up to them and send anyone who dares to try to hurt his little darling, home with their tails between their legs because let's be honest. Bilbo's probably grown a spine, maybe two after his adventure. When he takes Frodo in, you two become like siblings, causing all sorts of mischief and pranks around the Shire, much to Bilbo's annoyance but it did warm his heart to see his child and nephew becoming such good friends.
Frodo Baggins
Tumblr media
Oh this traumatized hobbit, bless his little heart. He'd do anything for his child. He'd be a gentle parent in my opinion. After having endured so much pain and suffering Frodo just wants his child to have the best life. He would never ever want to them to endure the same pain he has. Frodo would also try to spend a lot of time with his kid, telling them about his favourite stories and about the journey to Mordor. He had lost his parent at a very young age for hobbits so Frodo makes sure to give you as much attention as possible and in a way you're his little sunshine that reminds him of much happier days. If it weren't for you, his beloved child, he'd never thought he'd feel the same happiness ever again he felt before the one ring came to him. You're the little light in his life he never knew he needed and he's so happy he gets so see you grow up and he will always care about you.
Samwise Gamgee
Tumblr media
I think that Samwise Gamgee has always dreamed of having his own family one day, preferably a big one. So when he saw you, a lost injured child without a home, he immediately took you in. His father, the Gaffer became like a grandfather to you and Sam's siblings, especially his sisters were always doting over you, knitting, sewing you clothes, or giving you their old toys. Sam would teach you how to cook and when you get sick, he'd make you some vegetable soup and you'll feel better in no time. Gardening is also one of the things your dad Sam would teach you and when Elanor and his other children are born he feels like the happiest hobbit dad in the world, because who else would have such a delightful big family. Seriously, there's never a boring moment and Sam and his wife Rosie love you all with all their hearts. It didn't make a difference to him if you weren't a hobbit and ended up being way taller than him or not, you'll always be his little potato.
Rosie Cotton
Tumblr media
This lovely hobbit lady is so underrated and it's a crime. I really wish we knew more about her, but Rosie always striked me as a super sweet and friendly gal. One day she found an abandoned child in the Shire and being the sweethearted Miss that she is, she took them home and started caring for them. Even bringing them to her workplace where the other hobbits would look in awe at "her" cute child. When Elanor is born Rosie was so happy for her little one to have a big sibling now and all of her other children would look up to them as well, getting in all sorts of play fights and mischief with Rosie and her husband Sam smiling at their beautiful family. She would sew you new clothes and bake you the most delicious pies ever. Rosie would absolutely be a kind and wonderful mother and she is grateful for her gorgeous family.
Meriadoc Brandybuck
Tumblr media
Now this hobbit lad is definitely more clever than other people give them credit for, so when he becomes a dad, he'd really give some off his wisdom to his child. Telling them stories about how he and Éowyn defeated the Witch King and when Pippin and him got captured by orcs. Speaking of Pippin, this rascal would definitely become sort of an uncle to you and you couldn't ask for a more funnier one than him. Merry definitely matured a lot after the journey, so when Pippin tells you stories about how he and Merry stole food from farmers, he'd glare at his cousin, because Merry doesn't want you to get any wrong ideas, much to yours and Pippin's amusement. But despite everything, Merry is very proud to be your dad. It doesn't matter if you're a hobbit, elf, dwarf, or other, he deeply cares for you and always will. And I'm more than sure his wife Estella will cherish you like her own child as well.
Peregrin Took
Tumblr media
When he was younger, Pippin got scolded for being too childish and being the son of Paladin, a very important member of hobbit society, he grew up to be his heir. Pippin would remind you to keep that joyful side of yours, to embrace it. Now he wouldn't encourage you to steal from farmers like he did, when he was a youngling, but he would remind you to stand up for yourself and never let anyone make you feel small, or useless. During the journey to destroy the ring, he was the youngest of all the Fellowship members, so I'm certain there were at least a few times when he felt underestimated, so Pippin makes sure his child gets to live life to the fullest, having a happy childhood, enjoying the simple pleasures of life and having fun. His older sisters would take good care of you too and they're the best aunts you could ask for. When he marries Diamond and little Faramir is born they are so happy to have you as a part of their lovely family and that their youngest gets to grow up with the best big sibling in the whole Shire.

Deeds Not Less Valiant - Chapter Sixteen
Tumblr media
Summary: Our story ends and Din, Tala, Grogu and Neeli return to Mandalore.
Word Count: 2200+
Rating: R (brief sexual encounter at the end)
Notes: It took them a while, but Din and Tala have finally arrived at their happy ending.
Grogu was unsurprised when he saw Din without his helmet the next morning. Tala had been prepared for questions, but he merely shrugged.
:Bo said you would probably be my Mom one of these days. And then Dad could take his helmet off more.:
He picked up his spoon but paused before diving into his porridge. :She said if I let you have alone time for grown up stuff I might get a sibling.: 
“What did he say?” Din asked. “You look funny.”
Tala took a moment to compose herself before she answered. “He said Bo-Katan told him I would probably be his Mom soon, so he’s not surprised to see you with your helmet off.”
”And?” Din lifted an eyebrow. “I don’t think that would cause you to make that face.”
”Let’s just say the esteemed Mand’alor is getting a bit ahead of herself.”
”Vod.” Grogu said around a mouthful of porridge.
Now it was Din’s turn to look askance. “What? Did he say vod?”
”I think so. What does that mean?”
”Sibling. Brother. Sister.” Din ran a hand over his face. “I mean, we didn’t exactly go that far last night, did we?”
Tala bit back a smile. “Not quite. But Bo-Katan did tell Grogu that if he let us have alone time he might get a sibling.”  
Din sighed. “Okay, good. I … it’s not that I don’t want … but it’s a little too soon.”
”I agree,” Tala said. “But maybe we shouldn’t be discussing this at the breakfast table.”
:Grown up stuff.: Grogu shook his head. “Ick.”
”Agreed,” Tala said. “But is there anything we should do now? Do we need to register with the High Magistrate or inform the Mand’alor or anything?”
”We will tell Greef and then go to Mandalore to record the marriage,” Din said. “We need to add your name to the clan roster. And maybe have a little talk with Bo-Katan about what is appropriate to discuss with younglings.”
“Yah,” said Grogu. “Po-pret.”
******************************************************l
Greef was overjoyed at the news. “Congratulations, Mando! This is just what the town needs right now. Something to celebrate!”
”Can we wait until we return from Mandalore?” Din asked. If he knew Greef as well as he thought he did, the High Magistrate was already planning a party, a medal of some sort that he could present, and a deal to sell the story to a holovid company as a way to make Nevarro famous throughout the quadrant. 
“Of course, of course,” Greef said. “I’ll have everything taken care of by the time you get back. You’re a hero, Mando, and now you get your happy ending. You and Tala and Grogu just need to show up and enjoy yourselves.”
Bo-Katan was less exuberant but still quite pleased. “I knew it would happen soon, just not this soon,” she said over the holo-comm. “Not sure who was closest in the betting pool, but …”
”Wait, you’ve been betting on us?”
She smirked. “Just me and the Armorer and Axe and a few others. Nothing major, just a couple of ingots of beskar.”
”You — you wagered beskar on my personal life?”
”We like you, Djarin,” she said, shaking her head. “You spent too much time with that cult. Not everything has to be serious all the time. We can have fun with each other.”
Din shook his head. “But the Armorer … was she really in on this?”
”She’s quite pleasant once she’s had a few pints of ne’tra gal in her.”
Din had no response to that and ended the comm.
******************************************************
The flight to Mandalore was uneventful. Din had left R5 and the starfighter on Nevarro, and the hold was full of trade goods that the High Magistrate had rounded up from various merchants in town. Restoring the damaged buildings would be expensive.
”I don’t know how well these will sell on Mandalore,” Tala said, holding up one of the delicate lace undergarments that had been consigned by one of the clothiers.
”You don’t know what everyone wears underneath their beskar,” Din said with a wink. 
It was still unnerving to see his face. On board the Krayt, there was no need for him to wear his helmet and it had spent the journey on a shelf above Din’s bunk. None of the bunks was big enough for more than one person, and there was no privacy, anyway, so they had stuck to their previously chosen bunks. Neeli had graciously divided her time evenly amongst all three of them, ending the night by sleeping on Din’s pillow with her tail draped across his face.
As they approached Mandalore, Din readied his helmet and Tala buckled Neeli into her harness. “It’s just in case you get spooked,” Tala told the tooka. “I don’t want to have to try to find you in a strange place. When we get to our room, you can take it off.”
”Does she understand you?” Din asked, his voice now muffled and distorted by the vo-coder.
”More or less,” Tala said. “I think Grogu can communicate more directly with her but I can’t reach her mind. She does know several words and commands. It’s just that she only responds if she feels like it.”
Din reached over and rubbed Neeli’s head. “She likes this,” he said as she began to purr.
”She likes you,” Tala replied. “You’re her daddy now.” She’d threatened to buy him a shirt she’d seen in the market that said “Galaxy’s #1 Tooka Dad” but he’d shot that idea down quickly.
”She is not our child,” he said. “She is our pet.”
”Tell that to Grogu.”
Grogu has started calling Neeli his sister, christening her “Vod-Nee,” a combination of the Mandalorian word for sibling and her name.
“Grogu understands,” Din said. Tala raised an eyebrow at him. “Most of the time,” he said.
They landed and stepped off the ramp to be met by Bo-Katan Kryze and the Armorer, along with a few other curious folks. “There are several disappointed women on Mandalore,” Bo-Katan said as she greeted them. “I didn’t realize you were considered such a good catch, Djarin.”
”To be the foremother of a new clan is a high honor,” the Armorer said. “They just wanted bragging rights. I am glad you chose wisely, Din Djarin.” She turned to Tala. “Welcome home, Tala Pavan of House Djarin. And welcome to you, Neeli. The tooka is a fearsome beast, as courageous as any Mandalorian, despite its small size.” She pulled a small badge from her pouch, a mudhorn head worked in beskar. She attached it to Neeli’s harness. “Now everyone will see that you belong to Clan Mudhorn, little one.”
Tala was overcome. She’d never expected Neeli to be acknowledged as part of the clan by anyone outside their little family. “Thank you,” she said. “She will wear it proudly.”
”I have something a bit more impressive for you,” the Armorer said, “but it must wait for the ceremony this evening.” She bowed her head graciously. “For now I will let Lady Bo-Katan show you to your rooms so you can get settled.”
”You get the bridal suite,” Bo-Katan said with a little smirk. “It’s a little bit bigger than the other quarters, and we’ve been offering it to newly wed couples for their first week of married life. A lot of people are still in barracks so they appreciate the privacy. And speaking of privacy, I’d be more than willing to watch the kid for a couple of nights if you want to get started on that sibling I promised him.”
Din stiffened and Tala felt the blood rush to her face. “Um, that would be nice,” she managed to say. Bo-Katan was enjoying this, if the twinkle in her eyes was any indication. 
“Then it’s all set. Grogu and I will have a sleepover!” Bo-Katan picked up Grogu, who giggled.
:Silly Bo! We will eat pog soup while Mom and Dad do grown up stuff. Soup is better than kissing:
********************************************************
The marriage recording ceremony took place on the steps that led down to the Living Waters of Mandalore. Din knew that a Mythosaur lurked beneath the surface, but he still found it hard to fully believe it was real. Tala had reassured him that Grogu had connected with the beast, and Bo-Katan swore that she’d seen it with her own eyes, so it must be true, but it was still hard to wrap his mind around the fact that the symbol of the Mandalorian people lived and breathed just a few meters away.
The ceremony itself was brief. The Armorer inscribed their names onto a beskar plate that recorded all the marriages that had taken place since the retaking of Mandalore. Then she presented Tala with a mudhorn pendant wrought in beskar and accented with silver and gold, hanging from a platinum chain. “You have not sworn the Creed, but you are a member of a Mandalorian clan, therefore you have earned the right to wear beskar. May this small token always remind you of your duty to your family and your clan.”
Din’s heart swelled with joy as Tala bent forward for the Armorer to place the necklace around her throat. It was not ostentatious but it was a very visible reminder that Tala was a member of the Mudhorn Clan. 
“And you, Din Djarin, as you take the first steps to founding a clan and house that will live in the memories of all Mandalorians, have earned this.” The Armorer held out a brand new amban rifle. Din’s eyes teared up and his throat swelled as he reached for the weapon. He’d lost his old one when the Razor Crest had been destroyed. It had served him well, and could never truly be replaced, but his new rifle was a beautiful thing.
”I am honored,” Din said, bowing deeply. “I will use it to protect my clan and Mandalore.”
”This is the Way,” the Armorer intoned.
”This is the Way,” everyone in attendance echoed.
**************************************************
They were alone. Grogu had happily gone with Bo-Katan, prattling on about “Paw soo” and now Din was alone in their borrowed quarters with Tala. With his riddur. 
He had faced down many enemies in his life, often against overwhelming odds with little chance of survival, but never had he felt so nervous, so afraid. This was uncharted territory and he had no idea how to proceed. There was no training for this.
”Relax,” Tala said, laying a hand on his arm. “We have the whole night ahead of us. And before you say anything, I will not be disappointed by anything you do tonight. The first time is always awkward, whether both parties are experienced or not.”
Din nodded and smiled but inside he was panicking. Should he kiss her now or should he wait until they had disrobed? The thought of seeing Tala completely naked made his heart race. He’d felt her body through her clothing before, but the idea of flesh against flesh, with nothing between them, overwhelmed him.
She stepped closer and pulled his head down for a kiss. He relaxed slightly. He knew how to do this. They’d had much practice in the few days since they’d spoken the Riddurok. 
Soon, she was helping him remove his shirt, and then he helped remove hers. Bit by bit, their clothing ended up on the floor until they were side by side on the bed, as bare as the day they had arrived in the world. 
“You’re beautiful,” he whispered as he took in the sight of her body. 
“So are you,” she replied, gently tracing her fingertips over the many scars that were scattered over his skin. “And you’re all mine.”
She kissed him again and this time it was different. More urgent. Din felt his body respond to her and before he knew it, she was opening her legs and guiding him toward her. Suddenly, he was inside of her and instinct took over. He knew what to do and he did it with an enthusiasm he’d never felt except on the training or battle field.  Their bodies fit together like two pieces of a puzzle, and Din knew the meaning of home.
He finished quickly, which Tala assured him was perfectly normal for his first time. Then she showed him how to help her achieve the same bliss he’d just experienced. He learned that fingers that knew how to pull a trigger could also be used for more delicate work.
When it was over, and they lay tangled together, bodies covered in a thin sheen of sweat, Tala kissed him gently. “And that, my love, is how it’s done,” she said. ”You did very well. I think you’re a natural.”
”It’s different from fighting,” Din said. “But even more enjoyable.”
Tala laughed. “What an incredibly Mandalorian thing to say!”
”You’d better get used to it,” he told her. “You’re an honorary Mandalorian now. And you know how much we Mandalorians love to fight. Just imagine how much I’m going to enjoy this new activity.”
She smiled and brushed a strand of hair off his forehead. “I’m looking forward to it.”
Then she kissed him again. “Ready for round two?”
“We get to do it again?”
”All night if you’re up to it.”
”This is the Way.”
