please stop attacking ai rant in tags
#i'm seeing so many people already turning the wga strike into an attack on ai and it's making me angry#boycotting or banning ai will do nothing but make society's relationship with technology and the way we use it worse#i do think ​there should be restrictions put on its use especially in like. research#where it could lead to major reliability and accountability issues#but i am just so pro integrating ai and writing there are so many benefits to it that people refuse to see bc the progression of tech makes#them nervous about their job stability#but ai cannot and will not be able to critically think or truly act as a human brain. it will only ever be able to simulate#and that can be an incredible tool that when used right can make writing (and a lot of other jobs) better#but it's not a brain and will never be able to replace one and will never be able to replace the core of writers' work. which is the ideas#that they produce#and yes people are going to abuse it and think that it can replace jobs. and we need restrictions put in place so people can't do this#which i'm pretty sure is what the wga stands for? protecting writers jobs?#and like wga's proposal was 100% right bc ai CANT be used as source material bc its a TOOL using algorithms to speak not a fucking brain#going after ai iteself and telling people not to use it is just so not the right move. instead go after the people that abuse it#this anti ai sentiment is really scary bc its an attack on technological progress which historically has never gone well#sorry i just. am very into the tech industry and have done a lot of ux research and am probably gonna pursue a career in it#but i also love writing so i just have a lot of opinion on this

Mother's Day
Tumblr media
Summary: Jack has a very important, surprise gift to give you on a special holiday for your inaugural celebrations together
Paring: Aaron Hotchner x Fem!Reader (Fluff)
WC: 1.4k
Whenever he can, Aaron leaves work early to get Jack. Thankfully, with Strauss's return, he's not still stuck doing two jobs, so he finishes his work in time to get Jack from school. You also love when he has days like that because it means he'll cook something delicious and homemade, maybe even dessert if Jack has anything to say about it.
Jack gets into the car like any other day, but what he says isn't the typical comment about his day or request for an afternoon activity. "Did you know it's Mother's Day this weekend?" Jack asks.
Aaron's heart clenches in his chest. Mother's Days, birthdays, Christmases, and the anniversary of Haley's death are all especially hard days for Jack, and Aaron tries his best to support his son. "Do you want to talk about mom?" He asks softly as he drives. Since Jack doesn't remember a lot of it, Aaron fills in the blanks and answers the questions.
"No, I might want to talk to her tonight, but I want to get a present," Jack explains.
Aaron frowns a little but accepts it. "We can do that. What do you want to get her?"
Jack's thinking face looks like his dad's, something you were the first to point out to Aaron. "I don't know." He admits. "You always get roses for Y/n so maybe I can get her flowers?"
That really throws Aaron, and it rapidly occurs to him that he and Jack aren't talking about the same person. "You want to get a present for Y/n?" He clarifies.
Jack shifts uncomfortably in his car seat, clearly nervous at his father's reaction. "I'm sorry. Is that wrong?"
Aaron can't shake his head fast enough. "No. No, of course not, buddy." He assures his son, reaching back with one hand to touch the boy's foot for extra reassurance. "I think she'd really like that. What made you think you want to get something for her?" He tries to ask it in a non-judgemental, casual tone.
"Well, in class, we were all talking about what we love about our moms, and a lot of the things that my friends were talking about are things that Y/n does for me." He explains, and Aaron feels his heart clench in the best way that time while he bites down a wide smile. "Mom is still my mom, and I'm not forgetting how she used to do those things for me, but Y/n is there for me too."
Aaron notices what he's emphasizing, and he's immensely proud of Jack for being able to express those feelings, understanding that appreciating his mom and recognizing your role in his life aren't mutually exclusive.
Then he's thinking about you as he absorbs the confession. And how lucky he is to have you. You have been a constant source of support and love, a beacon of hope and stability in the wake of their family tragedy, never anything but good to them. He feels so much joy and a tiny bit of sadness. He knows Haley would have loved you and appreciated how much you care for Jack, but he wishes she was there to see it.
He's choked up as he goes to speak. "Jack, that's very sweet of you, and I think, no, I know, Y/n feels the same way about you. She thinks you're the most amazing kid ever."
Jack smiles softly. "She does? Really?"
Aaron can't nod fast enough. "Yes, she always tells me how great she thinks you are."
"So we can get her a gift for her?" Jack confirms, looking hopeful.
"Absolutely." Aaron agrees, taking a right turn to the mall rather than a left to their home. "Whatever you want."
~
It's been such a long week of work and Saturday mornings are Jack's soccer games, so as soon as your Saturday movie night is over, you're fast asleep next to Aaron.
Like usual, he stirs beside you first on Sunday morning, but when you go to get up with him, he softly whispers for you to go back to sleep and that's very easy to do.
When you next wake up, the sun is creeping through the blinds at a different angle, signaling that you slept in for longer than you usually would.
There's a soft knock at the bedroom door before you can properly wake up and get out of bed, and you softly call out for who you expect to be Jack to come in.
You're right in your guess that it's Jack, who quickly jumps up onto the bed with you, followed by his father who has a breakfast tray with a big vase of flowers on it accompanying a delicious-looking plate of French toast.
"Wow, you've both been busy this morning." You mumble sleepily as you sit up to hug Jack who's jumping into your arms.
"Happy Mother's Day!" He cheers joyfully, and you're taken off guard by the greeting, completely shocked.
Your eyes dart to Aaron's to make sure you heard Jack correctly, and his wide smile confirms you have. He's looking between you both with so much love and tenderness, his heart so full it feels like it's bursting.
Your eyes fill with tears as you realize the enormity of what he's just said. "Thank you, Jack." You squeeze him even tighter in a hug, not wanting him to slip away from this perfect moment.
He pulls back and smiles at you before turning back to his dad. "Can we give it to her?" He asks.
"Sure, bud." Aaron agrees, setting the tray down over the top of your legs. He sits near the foot of the bed while Jack snuggles into your side.
Jack reaches forward to pick up the little box next to the breakfast. "Here." He hands it to you. "Happy Mother's Day. Thank you for caring so much about me."
You kiss his forehead, holding him tighter to his side as you gladly accept his thoughtful and unexpected gift. "You're very welcome. I love you, Jackers."
Whatever he has for you has to be jewelry from the small, flat shape of the box and the designer jewelry stamp. You open it up, and your heart melts more, if it were possible. What's inside is a gorgeous gold bracelet with a flat, circular charm, engraved with the letter J.
Jack touches it as your finger does. "It's a J for Jack."
You nod so you don't start crying too much. You're so overwhelmed by gratitude and happiness that you can't help but let one tear slip out.
"Thank you." You finally get the words out. "It's perfect and I love it so much. I'm going to wear it every day, so you're always with me."
Jack's grinning a proud grin, clearly proud of himself for picking it out. Aaron had told him how much you would love it, but seeing it confirms it for him. "I think it'll look beautiful on you." He tells you adorably.
You chuckle a little. "You're a sweet talker just like your dad, you know?"
Aaron laughs next to you, but Jack's confused at what your compliment means, and his attention is drawn elsewhere. "Daddy and I made French toast for me as well. Oh, and I got you flowers."
It's a gorgeous bunch of flowers, beautiful colors, and lovely smells. "Thank you so much. Both of you." You repeat to them, making sure they're feeling the reciprocated love you're feeling.
"You're welcome," Jack says politely.
Aaron leans over to kiss your forehead. "I love you." He whispers.
You whisper it back before looking back at your breakfast plate. "There's a lot of French toast here, so I might need some help eating it." You say suspiciously, looking between Jack and Aaron.
Jack's eyes light up like he's been waiting for you to offer him some of it, and you can't blame him, it looks and smells like restaurant quality and you know breakfast foods are Aaron's strong suit cooking-wise.
"I am kind of hungry." Jack agrees, smirking at you softly.
"Eat up then, bud." You say, offering him the first spoonful. "We've got lots of fun stuff to do today."

Best Practices for Communicating about the Climate Crisis
Communication Tips 
Keep it local. Focusing on bringing local solutions. You can lean into community pride to help motivate community action. And while climate change may have global impacts, emphasizing local climate impacts and benefits of local policies will resonate with more people, and feel more approachable/doable.
Stay focused on solutions. While the consequences of climate change are dire, focusing too much on how bad things could get tends to make people feel overwhelmed, hopeless and cynical – which doesn’t help them get or stay involved. Try not to give more than 1 or 2 examples of local consequences of environmental issues, then dive into how this work provides solutions.
Include your audience. Instead of using “I” or “you”, talk about what “we” need to do to turn things around. This includes using “we” when you’re talking about the government, when appropriate - after all, the government is meant to be for and of our communities.
Lean into moral values. Most people agree that we have a moral responsibility to protect our environment’s health, stability and safety for future generations, so don’t be afraid to talk about that or other values that resonate with you about this work.
Focus on tangible gains. Things like “the economy” are important, but they don’t feel as immediate as combating rising costs, protecting their and their neighbors' health, and saving money. Paint them a picture of the prosperous, stable, livable city we can create.
Project a can-do attitude. A lot of people are feeling let down by leadership at all levels, and feeling hopeless and helpless about making change. So, it’s important that you show that you and others are out here willing to really do the work - and there’s room for them to join in. Also, be sure to talk about successes.
Don’t waste time on opponents. We can't get everybody on our side. However, there are enough people that are excited about the prospect of living in a safe, sustainable community, where everyone has clean air to breathe/water to drink and a family-sustaining job that we don't need to convert opponents.
Encourage investment. Rather than framing the changes we want in terms of the drudgery of having to adapt to a bad situation, try to build excitement in the possibilities we can invest in - together. Everyone likes to feel they’re getting in on an exciting, cutting edge investment. Relatedly, be wary of statements that make people feel like they’re going to lose, rather than gain, options. Remind people that our current systems are not only unhealthy, dirty, and dangerous - they’re also ineffective.
Create immediate avenues for action. Once you’ve built up some excitement about what we can do, give people an immediate step they can take to help. Give that positive energy somewhere to go and show them how good it can feel to get involved.
Focus on what you want people to do, not what you want them to stop doing. This helps people envision change, and makes them less nervous.
Communicate respect. Keep away from stereotypes and harmful words. And when you talk about other people, be careful not to put words in their mouths.
Remember, you're not just combating ignorance, you're combating hopelessness, helplessness, and burnout!

Would u possibly be able to write more knight!ghost , I want him back protecting his princess
I love him so much, but knight!Ghost is a long way from protecting his princess again.
The clash of swords draws your attention immediately as you walk through the gardens. You're not used to walking this way, you didn't know it was so close to the training grounds. You wander off the stone path, your knight following you a few steps behind. A loyal, and very different, shadow. You like him as much as you can like any knight. He's not Ghost.
Ghost. You press your hand against the tall garden wall with a frown. If the knights are training he might be there overseeing everything. That's reason enough to hate this wall. You'd bet if you were a little taller you could see over it. You wave your knight closer.
"Help me up," you tell him. He glances up at the top of the wall, the back at you, his eyes sparking with mischief. That's one of the reasons why you like this one.
Your knight crouches, lacing his fingers together to offer you a boost. You step you foot into his waiting hands and let him help you up to stand on his shoulders. You press your hands to the top of the wall to survey the training grounds. Your eyes land on a familiar form. Though he doesn't wear your colors you'd recognize him blind.
"Ghost!" You call, leaning further over the wall. The brick digs into your stomach, your palms scraping the harsh stone as you try to pull yourself further over it. Your- Ghost looks around the training field and you wave your hand to try and grab his attention. When he finally spots you, you see his body stiffen and he waves off the other knights to continue practicing as he makes his way towards you.
"Princess," he calls up to you, dropping his sword on the ground next to him. He presses his hands to the wall, head tipped back to keep you in his sight. "Is your knight with you?"
You glance down at Keegan, he looks bored holding you on his shoulders. You look back at Ghost. "He's holding me up," You tell him. Ghost's eyes narrow.
"Russ," he yells, you feel Keegan stiffen under you, "thought your job was keeping my lady out of harm not puttin' her in it." His lady. It makes your face hot. You're still his lady, even so far away. Butterflies flutter in your stomach. Seeing Ghost makes everything better, you can live a lifetime on these stolen moments.
"She insisted." Keegan yells back, lifting you a little higher. You smile at the lie, doing your best to portray innocence for Ghost.
"Your supposed to tell her 'no'." Ghost loudly reminds him, as if he isn't the only man who's ever told you that.
"In case you've forgotten, I'm in charge of my knight, not the other way around," you tell Ghost with a smile. He feels so far away, the dirt of the training grounds so much lower than the garden's lush grass. You can see the crease of Ghost's eyes, the smile hidden by his mask. You miss that smile more than anything. You lean a little further to try and be closer to him, feel Keegan's hands push your feet up, holding you to reach over the wall for your knight.
"I never forget," Ghost tells you. You wish he'd reach for you, that it wasn't only you hoping to touch. Even just to brush his fingertips would be enough. "Pull her back down Russ," Ghost commands. You scramble to keep yourself up.
"Disobey that order Keegan, you're under my command." The stability of his grip returns, and you do your best not to look too nervous about the shift in his grip.
"Princess," Ghost grits, "this is not ladylike, and if you fall-"
Your breath catches as your hand slips off the wall. You hardly have the thought to scream before you tumble off the wall. Ghost swears, and reaches out for you. You fall heavily into hard metal and dense muscle, his arms wrapping around you as quickly as you fall into them. Your breath catches up to you all at once and suddenly you can't get air in fast enough.
Ghost holds you tight to his chest, as your hands scramble against his armor. You dig your fingers under his pauldrons and hold tight, trying to get your breath under control. "You're alright love, I have you," he breathes, none of your panic seems to have bled into him, but he also hasn't set you down, "God you're going to be the death of me."
He presses his forehead against yours, making a space for the two of you. It's brief, but it calms you. Hardly a second later he's pulled back to look up at the wall. You glance up as well to see Keegan's climbed to the top to look down at the both of you. You don't have to look, you can feel the rage radiating off of Ghost.
"Are you planning on killing my lady or is this just an off day?" He asks, stepping back to let Keegan drop down.
"Honestly?" Keegan raises a brow, scratching at the edge of his mask. Ghost's grip on you tightens.
"Never should have let 'im-" Ghost seethes, cutting himself short. He turns away from your knight. You realize belatedly that he hasn't let you down. The determined movement of his body as he walks is terribly distracting, you'd almost forget that you're being carried past younger knights. God you must look pathetic, you're supposed to inspire respect in these men this is just...
"Ghost, put me down." You whisper, swallowing your heart in favor of your pride. Ghost freezes. There's a short moment where you almost think you can feel his heart beating against the metal chest plate, before he quickly sets you on your feet.
It hurts you to see the chill behind his eyes as he steps away from you, putting up a barrier between you. You don't fidget, princesses do not fidget. You lift your chin a little higher, set your shoulders a little straighter. If you want respect you have to take it for yourself.
You cast a quick glance at the other knights on the field and pick one at random, "You, escort me back," the knight nods, and is quick to grab his things as you turn your attention back to Ghost, "I'll leave discipline to you Sir Riley."
Keegan looks at you like you've signed his execution order. That does make you feel a little bad. It wasn't his fault you fell, but really Ghost would've told you 'no.'

fried egg I'm in love
Eddie makes you breakfast.
Tumblr media
Contains: Eddie x Reader, fem!reader, established relationship, pet names, Eddie fries you some eggs because you should always eat breakfast before a big day. No mention of reader’s physical appearance, no use of Y/N. Warnings: mentions of food & eating (obvi). Word Count: 1,200-ish i am completely delighted by @mcbeanzontoast 's artwork and these sweet lil drawings (1, 2) of Eddie are all i can think about, thank u for the inspo bb! <3 btw srry if this isn't how you like your eggs or if u hate alt-rock themed puns. but personally i feel very strongly about the over-medium thing.
“Eddie. Eddie.”
There’s still no response from the motionless lump on the bed. He’s twisted up in the thin, pilled sheets like he tried to fight them and lost. 
His breathing is slow and even, clearly still in a deep sleep. You hope his dreams are pleasant, but not so pleasant that he’ll be upset with you for what you’re about to do.
You lean closer to where you think his ear might be. It’s hidden under a mass of thick curls, but you're pretty sure you’re in the right spot.
“Eddie!” 
It comes out even louder than you intended. Oops.
“Huh!”
Eddie jolts awake and tries to roll over, but only succeeds in tangling himself further in the bedding. He squirms and struggles against the taut fabric for a minute, before giving up and letting his body go limp. His face scrunches against the brightness of the room, peering at you with squinted eyes.
You, who have already been awake for an hour. You, who have already washed and dressed and tidied yourself up. You, who are looking at him rather expectantly…? His full lips pull down in a frown.
“What gives?” he grumbles, unhappy to be conscious before noon. As usual.
“Sorry honey, but you didn’t hear me the first four times I tried.”
He sighs, then lets out a sudden gasp. He tries to sit upright, lurching sideways, still thrashing against that damn sheet. “Your interview!”
Bingo!
“Yes, my interview,” you say, too amused and in love with him to be exasperated. “Don’t worry, we still have plenty of time. But you can barely function when you first wake up and I can’t have you falling asleep behind the wheel. I figured I’d get you up now so you have time to adjust.” You reach out and cup his face, rubbing a thumb over his stubbly cheek.
He turns his head in your hand so he can kiss your palm. “Good thinkin', sweetheart. That’s why you’re the brains of this operation.”
You help untangle him and wander out into the kitchen while he heads for the bathroom. Because even bone-deep exhaustion is no match for Eddie's mouth, he pokes his head out so he can talk to you. “How’re you feeling, baby?” The words are garbled and foamy with toothpaste.
“Okay,” you call back from your seat at the table. Well, that’s kind of a lie. “Actually, I’m really nervous, but that’s normal, I guess.”
You really want this job to work out. Eddie’s dying for you to come and live with him in his apartment, but you want a little more financial stability before you move out of your place. You promised him that once you landed a higher paying job you would take the leap. The shiny prospect of perpetual domesticity with your favorite boy is riding on this position, and it's making you gut-wrenchingly antsy.
“You’re gonna be great!” he shouts from around his toothbrush.
Eddie joins you in the kitchen, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. He’s in nothing but his boxers and mismatched wool socks. One is maroon, the other is green with stripes. “Great. You hear me? They’d be lucky to have you. In fact, you should be interviewing them, asking why they deserve to be your employer.” He’s teasing you, but he also means it.
Your stomach flutters at the praise, and at the sight of all that skin he’s showing. You know in your heart that he’s still so warm from sleep.
 He yawns, and stretches dramatically. “Have you eaten yet?”
You chuckle and shake your head. “No way. No appetite.”
“Well, you gotta eat. You need fuel on a day like today.” He crosses his arms and frowns at you.
That's humorous, coming from the guy who attended six years of high school running on nothing but mini-pretzels and Mountain Dew. “Eddie, I’m way too anxious to eat right now.”
“Listen, you’ll feel worse if you don’t eat. Because if you don’t have something in your belly, and you’re nervous, you’ll get lightheaded and pass out in the middle of the interview, in which case you won’t get the job, 'cause then they’ll all be thinking, ‘This girl has the temperament of a fragile Victorian woman. Why is she even here? She should be sent to the seaside for her health.’ You know?”
“I…guess so?”
“Trust me, sweetheart, you have to eat breakfast. Let me make you something.”
Tumblr media
The Something in question is simple: toast with butter, and fried eggs, over-medium. “Runny enough to dip, but cooked enough so there’s no snotty white stuff,” he says sagely. “It’s the only way to eat 'em.”
You hum in agreement, but you’re more focused on the way he looks standing half-naked in front of the stove, spatula in hand, a cigarette dangling from his lips.
He insists on making your portion first, sliding the plate in front of you and kissing your head when it’s done. “Eat up, doll.”
You thank him quietly and start to eat, watching as he goes through the process over again for himself. Now that he’s taken care of you, some of the tiredness he was staving off returns. His movements get clumsier as his attention oscillates between assembling his breakfast and being your personal cheerleader. He bumps into the counter, nearly burns his fingertips on the stove, and knocks over a glass of orange juice, but steadfastly refuses your offer to take over. Stubborn. You put a pot of coffee on for him.
You feel calmer now, watching his ministrations, listening to his reassurances. You've found that Eddie’s presence seems to be the salve for all your silly little troubles. His throaty morning-voice and dimpled smile send a rush of warmth through you, putting you at ease, like a cup of something hot on a cold day. You feel so lucky to be loved by him.
While you’re adoring him, trying not to get misty-eyed thinking about it, your sweet boy’s about to transfer his second egg to his plate. He's almost done it when he’s wracked with another full-body yawn. It's powerful enough that his eyes close, and his arm jerks the wrong way, and the egg slips out of the pan. It hits the kitchen floor with a wet slap.
Quickly, he looks down, then at you, and then back at the egg. In one swift motion he scoops it up off the floor. “Five second rule.”
You wrinkle your nose. “Ed…” You’re tempted to chastise him more thoroughly because who knows when that floor was last cleaned? Certainly not Eddie. But the way he’s doting on you today makes you hold your tongue.
He shrugs. “Fine. I’ll wash it off.”
He turns the sink on so a thin stream of water comes out. He picks the egg up with his hands, and holds it under the faucet, turning it carefully so that each side gets a gentle rinse. It gets tossed casually back onto the plate.
Completely unbothered, he joins you at the table and digs in.
He finally catches the look on your face. Without swallowing the huge bite of food he just popped in his mouth, he goes -
“What?”
Tumblr media
Afterwards, Eddie drives you to your interview just like he promised he would. When you emerge from the building some thirty odd minutes later, feeling victorious, he's right there to celebrate with you.
Neither of you say it, but you're both thinking the same thing. One bed. One kitchen table. One little apartment. One home.

Not His Type - Jimmy Darling x Fem!Reader (18+)
I genuinely can't tell if this is good or not lmfao, I haven't written smut in literal yearsss and I've never written for ahs please help me.
CW: fingering, oral (fem receiving), public sex, slight praise at the end word count: 1316
"I'm telling you, Ethel, I'm definitely not his type," you explained, for what felt like the millionth time, to Jimmy's sweet mother. She and you have become increasingly close over the time that you've been working at the freakshow. Two years ago, you came looking for a job, just something small to make at least a little money. Elsa turned you down at first, because you were nothing short of normal, but after offering (begging) to help Ethel with the cooking, she finally gave in.
"How do you know what his type is? You've never asked 'im," she responded, continuing to chop the vegetables you both were preparing for the night's dinner. You scoffed, rolling your eyes and sliding the diced onion into a large pot.
"He likes Maggie. And what's not to like? She's blonde, thin, pretty face..."
Ethel glanced up with a small smirk creeping onto her lips. "Listen, Y/n, I've known Jimmy my whole life and I'm telling you, he's liked you for a while now."
Jimmy was the first guy you had shown any interest in. Most of them are crude and only want one thing, but he was the first man to ask for your name, take your hand and gently kiss your knuckles as an introduction. Well, needless to say he's had you since day one.
"Nope," you denied. "I am not his type, not even close."
"Not who's type?" Jimmy asked, striding into the tent. He had a playful smile on his face, and you turned away from him immediately, praying that the blush on your face wasn't as apparent as it felt.
"Nothing, don't worry about it," you said quietly. "Just boring girl talk."
Ethel put her knife down on the table and turned to you. "Oh, you know what? I forgot to grab a carrot, I'll go find one, don't wait up!" she said, half yelling as she quickly walked out of the tent, leaving you and Jimmy alone.
You suppressed a grin and rolled your eyes, standing in front of the table and starting to cube a potato. You saw Jimmy move towards you out of the corner of your eye and felt your heart flutter. It's stupid for him to have this hold over you.
"Hi, Y/n," Jimmy said in a sing-song voice.
You smiled and looked up at him. "Hi, Jimmy."
"Who's the lucky guy?" he asked.
"What lucky guy? The one who doesn't like me back?" He grinned and shortly nodded. "It doesn't matter. I have no chance." you said, looking back at the medley on the table.
Jimmy came closer to you, now standing just mere inches away, his body heat making you impossibly warmer. "Put the knife down, Y/n."
You placed the knife onto the cutting board and pushed it away from the table's edge. You turned to Jimmy, who took your wrists in his hands and smiled at you. "Who's the lucky guy?"
He leaned his head towards yours, nudging your cheek with his nose. You gasped, trying to control your breath and slow your heartbeat, but you knew it was no use. "Um, it's you, Jimmy," you said, awkward and quiet. You felt him smile against your skin.
"And who says you're not my type?" he said, clearly amused, but your sense of embarrassment dwindled quite quickly. You didn't answer him. Your words were caught in your throat and his proximity was making you very nervous.
He didn't press the issue further, and instead kissed your cheek, then the corner of your mouth, and after a small pause to look into your eyes, he smiled again and placed his lips on yours.
His hands grasped your waist, and you placed yours on his shoulders for stability. He gently bit your bottom lip, eliciting a moan from you, and he continued to kiss his way down your jaw to your neck, biting and licking until he found the spot that made you moan yet again.
He sucked on the skin just below your ear, and you threw your head back to give him space. He walked you back a few steps, until your lower back hit the table behind you. Jimmy pulled away and lifted you up, sitting you down on the cleared space of the table. Now standing between your legs, he reached his hands under your shirt and pulled it off.
His left hand massaged your breast, hardening your nipple and sending chills down your spine. His right hand moved further down, rubbing soft circles over your clothed clit. You moaned and pulled your head away from him.
"Is this okay?" he asked you.
"Your mom will be back soon," you said, although you didn't want him to stop.
"We'd better make this quick then, lift your hips." he said, as he quickly pulled down your pants and underwear in one go.
"Jimmy! The food is right here!" you exclaimed, your heart pounding steadily.
He laughed and kissed down your body, positioning himself on his knees right in front of your dripping pussy. "The heat will cook off anything bad, don't worry." He ran his fingers through your wetness and stuck them in his mouth. "You taste delicious," he said, kissing your thighs, inching closer to where you most want him.
"Jimmy, please," you whimpered, wriggling your hips to try and find some sort of friction.
"Please, what?" he teased, looking up at you.
You groaned in embarrassment, "Please touch me, lick me...anything."
He smiled up at you and lightly kissed your clit, sticking his tongue out and flattening it against you. You gripped the edge of the table and let your head fall back in pleasure.
He kitten licked your clit before briefly pausing, and running his tongue from the base of your pussy back up to your clit, sucking it and kissing it in a way you've never felt before.
You let out a series of moans, trying to keep them quiet in case anyone was near enough to hear. You moved your hand into his hair and pulled on it, causing him to moan and send vibrations through your core. You leaned back on your left hand, hoping it would be enough to support you through this.
Jimmy took his right hand from where it rested on your thigh and plunged his middle two fingers into your hole, pushing them as far in as possible before withdrawing them. He began to pump them, slowly at first, and as your moans got louder his hand went faster.
You could feel your arousal dripping out of you, running down to your asshole and collecting on Jimmy's chin. It wasn't long before you were a wriggling mess. You could feel your pelvic muscles tightening and your walls started to clench around his fingers. "Jimmy, I-I'm gonna...cum," you moaned out.
Jimmy took his mouth away from you and pumped faster, if that was even possible. He took his left hand and rubbed hard, fast circles on your clit and looked up at you, your mouth agape and eyes squeezed shut. "Cum for me, Y/n. Cum on my fingers like a good girl,"
That was all you needed before he sent you over the edge. You bit your knuckles, trying to keep quiet but your moans still sounded loud in your ears. You clenched tightly around Jimmy and squeezed your legs together as the pressure inside you was released.
Jimmy took his fingers out but rubbed your clit through your orgasm before helping you put your pants back on. He stood up, wiped his mouth on his arm and smiled at you. "Who says you're not my type?" he grinned, backing away from you as Ethel came back in, holding up two carrots.
"Found 'em," she said, before setting them down on the opposite side of the table and sending you a playful smirk.

To Have & To Hold
"Do you, Coriolanus Snow, take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife? To have and to hold? To love and cherish in sickness and in health as long as you both shall live? To be a beacon of safety and stability, to care for her and the children you shall gift her?"
Coriolanus feels a smirk tugging on his lips before he answers.
"I do."
It's amusing how easy it is to slip the wedding ring onto his fiance's finger, binding her to him forever. Her hands shake slightly when she slips his ring onto his own finger. She's nervous.
He can't blame her. It's been a whirlwind of a year. For both of them that is. Coriolanus Snow became President of Panem at the age of twenty-six and he needed a wife. Sure he could've married someone he knew, someone he grew up with. But that was such a risk. He needed a girl who knew nothing about him other than what she had been told.
That's how he found Soarynn Nightingale.
He'd been giving a speech at the Academy, the school he graduated from, encouraging the youth of Panem to see themselves as the future of Panem. He'd droned on and on, reading from the cards that had been written for him when his eyes drifted to a blonde head of hair sitting in the front row.
He got a better look at her once his speech was over and he was allowed to mingle with the Professors and students. He shook some hands and took some photos and just as luck would have it Professor Clay was introducing him to one of his star students.
Soarynn had been so quiet. A shy, timid little thing. But she was beautiful, and clearly well educated if she was attending the Academy. Both things that were important to Coriolanus.
He'd gone home and read every little thing he could find about the Nightingales. Her father was Glen Nightingale, a widowed man with one daughter. She would turn eighteen in exactly one year. So his plan began.
It wasn't hard to schedule a meeting with Glen Nightingale and it was even easier to convince him to marry off his daughter to him. After all, Coriolanus was the President of Panem, he'd be doing Glen a humongous favor by marrying his shy little daughter. He kept his distance from Soarynn, didn't visit her, didn't send her gifts, nothing. Her job was to focus on her studies and to stay out of trouble. Stay pure, for him.
He had several tests run on her, bloodwork, the whole nine yards. The results came back and she was perfectly healthy and so very fertile. It was perfect.
Yesterday she turned eighteen and today, she was getting married. He realized how bad it must look in the eyes of the public. She was practically a child bride. But he didn't care, didn't need their opinions of him. He was President of Panem and nothing was in his way.
"You may now kiss the bride."
Soarynn looked entirely too nervous as Coriolanus cupped her face and leaned down but he didn't care as he captured her lips in a kiss, cheers going up in the room. When he pulled away he couldn't help but whisper something in her ear.
"Welcome home Mrs. Snow."
꧁ ꧂
"President Snow your last meeting of the day was canceled."
Coriolanus looks up at his assistant Eudora Trinket who has her trusty binder in her hand, "Alright. Thank you Eudora, I'll see you tomorrow." Eudora gives him a nod before leaving for the night. Coriolanus does most of his work at home, in the President's Mansion and this meeting being canceled gives him time to have dinner with his wife.
His little wife.
He finds her in the gardens, playing with the kitten he got her in order to make this adjustment a little bit easier for her. He hadn't noticed anything off about the girl until Eudora brought it up. How lonely she must be.
Coriolanus didn't see it that way of course. She was the richest woman in all of Panem. She could buy whatever, eat whatever, and yet she spent most of her time in the Mansion's large library, pouring over the books that sat on the dusty shelves.
So he got her a cat. Petunia, she named it. A white little furball who had quite the attitude but Soarynn adored her so Coriolanus was already the hero in this situation.
He waits for her to notice him but her back is turned to him and she's enamoured by the cat. Coriolanus clears his throat and it's adorable how she scrambles to her feet, her blue-gray eyes wide as she turns and looks up at him. She's barefoot which for some reason irks him. She's the First Lady of Panem, not some common District girl. Her closet is full of shoes and yet she refuses to wear them it seems unless she absolutely has to.
"I see you've foregone your shoes," he notes, "imagine my surprise."
Soarynn looks down at her feet before looking back up at him, "I...I didn't know if..."
"Tell me Soarynn, do your shoes not fit you?"
"No sir."
"So then you'll begin wearing your shoes am I correct?"
"Yes sir."
He nods, glad that's settled. They'd been married for a month and yet their conversations have been lacking. Thankfully she knows how to pose for the cameras, smile at everyone, be the perfect Capitol wife. But behind closed doors, she's so skittish.
"It's time for dinner," he says, looking down at his watch, "the cat can't come."
Petunia is currently rubbing herself against Soarynn's leg, purring up a storm. Soarynn is wearing a pink dress, it falls about midthigh and is rather plain. She must've brought this one from home. it's not that he doesn't like her clothes, how youthful they all are. That's why he married her, for her youthfulness. But he hates how childish she can be sometimes, how all rules fly out the window wherever she's concerned.
She needs a set of rules.
꧁ ꧂
Dinner was quiet as ever. Coriolanus doesn't always have dinner with her, sometimes he's busy with work or has a dinner to attend with some associates. Soarynn hasn't had any complaints about it from what he's heard.
When they get into their bedroom she heads for the bathroom but he stops her, "Come here," he says, stopping in front of the bed. For a while before their marriage, he'd considered giving her a bedroom of her own but that was too generous. She was his wife, not his roommate.
Soarynn slowly walks towards him hands clasped behind her back. Coriolanus smirks when she stops, taking it as an opportunity to circle around her like a predator to prey. Soarynn keeps her eyes trained on the floor, not daring to look him in the eye.
Coriolanus doesn't like that. He slips his finger under her chin, lifting her head up, "How have you been finding this marriage Soarynn?" He asks, watching as she tries to formulate an adequate answer. She swallows, "I've been finding it quite well sir," she whispers.
Another thing he doesn't like, she always whispers.
How many times has he wanted to yell at her to speak up? To look him in the eye?
He never does, can't have rumors going around that President Snow yells at his perfect little wife.
He hums, his other hand grabbing the fabric of her dress, pinching it between his fingers. "I think we need a set of rules." Soarynn's face slightly scrunches in confusion, "Rules?" He nods, letting her go and walking towards the fireplace, "Yes. I think setting out some rules for you would make this marriage much easier on the both of us."
He folds his hands behind his back, thinking about all the things she's done in the past month that have pissed him off in one way or another. It's not entirely her fault, she's learning, he knows that. But there's a certain expectation that falls on your shoulders if you want to be Mrs. Snow.
"First, no getting out of bed before me," he starts, "no man should ever wake up to his wife missing from their bed."
Soarynn has the decency to look slightly guilty. Since the day they got married, she's slipped out of bed before he's woken up and that's saying something considering how early he has to wake up. He nods, what a perfect first rule.
"Secondly, I expect a kiss every morning before I go to work and every evening when I come back from work. It's not easy running a country and it's even harder when your wife refuses to show you the smallest bits of physical affection."
If it hadn't been for all the cameras they've faced he's sure they wouldn't have kissed since they stood at the altar.
A frown graces Soarynn's lips but he's on a roll now.
"And your wardrobe needs some attention," his eyes land on her current attire, "desperately."
Soarynn looks hurt by his words and her bottom lip trembles, "What's wrong with my outfit?" She asks softly, tears threatening to spill from her eyes. Well, now Coriolanus feels slightly bad, critiquing every little thing about her. Not everything about her needs fixing, her physical beauty for example is perfect. He's only caught a few glances of her semi-naked form in the mirror and it's been enough to make him wonder about her sweet little virgin cunt.
Because Soarynn is a virgin.
Her father was quick to reassure Coriolanus but he wasn't taking any chances, men lie all the time and he wouldn't put it past Glen Nightingale to put his precious little daughter on some holy and untouched pedestal just so he could pass her off to Coriolanus. So he had her visit his personal doctor who further inspected her and confirmed that her hymen was still intact. A virgin.
They hadn't had sex on their wedding night. Mainly because Soarynn had been trembling and he wasn't able to enjoy himself with her in that fragile state. He heard her crying when she thought he was asleep. In her eyes, the world was ending, all her freedom was gone in the blink of an eye. He wanted to take more of it as he looked her up and down, wanted more tears.
"Well it needs to be on the floor darling," he says matter of factly, not missing the way her eyes widen in surprise. Coriolanus has always been a rather straightforward man so he finds no need to hold back his desires for his wife. He snaps his fingers when she doesn't immediately begin undressing, "On the floor Soarynn, now."
Soarynn swallows and her hands tremble as she slips off her pink dress, letting it pool around her ankles before stepping out of it. She's wearing a light pink bra with panties to match. He had after all bought her an entirely new wardrobe of lingerie. Because he's so thoughtful.
She looks so small standing in front of him, so young and naive, so pure. "Crawl to me." He might as well get her used to what he expects in the bedroom. He should come up with some rules for that too, make sure she knows that his word is law.
Soarynn looks mortified but she doesn't argue as she sinks to her knees, getting on her hands and crawling towards him. Coriolanus takes a seat in the leather armchair behind him. He often sits in it while nursing a glass of whiskey after a long day of work, watching Soarynn play with her cat. And now she's crawling towards him like one.
Once she reaches his feet she pops up on her knees, looking quite unsure of herself and what to do next. "Never touched by a man before," he sighs, cupping her small face with his large hand, smirking when she slightly leans into it. He's sure she's as touch-starved as he is, somewhat lonely. "It's time you learn how to be a good wife," he tells her, going to unzip his pants, his cock already hard. Soarynn's eyes narrow in on his impressive bulge and she gulps, "I've never..." Her voice dies off and he chuckles, "Never what? Never sucked cock before angel?" Soarynn presses her lips into a thin line when he mentions what she's about to do, "Never seen one before," she whispers.
Coriolanus raises his eyebrows, this girl truly is a virgin. Perfect for him to corrupt. He pulls his cock out from his boxers and Soarynn visibly pales at the size, looking up at him, at it. He grabs a fistful of her hair, pulling her further up on her knees, "Don't worry," he says, "you'll learn to worship it by the time I'm through with you."
Soarynn whimpers and he instructs her to open her mouth, pleased when she does so without hesitation. "Now lick the tip angel," he tells her, watching her small tongue lick up and down his tip, doing do good already. Coriolanus groans, "Good girl, now up and down the length, lick all the way up from the bottom." Soarynn furrows her eyebrows but he's quick to yank her head to the bottom of his shaft and she licks his length up and down, up and down until he's ready to truly fuck her throat.
"Now open wide," he says with a sigh, "and watch your teeth or I'll pull every single one out." He doesn't mean that but what she doesn't know won't hurt her. Soarynn slowly takes his cock in her small mouth, squeezing her eyes shut when he begins to slide in, filling her to the brim. Coriolanus lets out a low moan, "Just like that," he mumbles, "now move your head up and down, just like I showed you babydoll."
Soarynn's a fast learner to her credit because she does just as he instructed, stimulating him perfectly albeit she struggles to handle his size. Coriolanus is proudly large in both length and girth, making a blowjob quite difficult if you're the one giving it. But he loves seeing her take it and doesn't hesitate to buck his hips up every once in a while, punching the back of her throat, listening to her gag.
"Right there," he moans, tilting his head back, getting closer and closer to his peak. He throws out all regards for Soarynn's comfort as he begins to fuck her throat, holding her hair so tight that all she can do is take it. "Look at me," he orders, looking down at his pretty little wife who's mouth is full of his cock. Her eyes find him and they're filled with tears. "Perfect," he mutters, "made just for me."
He thinks about finishing just in her mouth but he needs to add an element of humiliation into this, letting her know exactly who she belongs to. "Keep your mouth open," he grits out, pulling his cock from her warm mouth. He cums right then and there, ropes landing both in her mouth and on that pretty little face of hers. Soarynn closes her eyes but stays put, letting him do whatever he pleases with her. Once he finishes he drops her hair and Soarynn sinks down further on her knees, blinking away the tears and sniffling.
"You look so pretty when you take my cock Soarynn," he murmurs, running his fingers through her soft blonde hair. Soarynn shakily nods, "Thank you, sir." Her voice is scratchy, something Coriolanus proudly notes before sitting up straighter, "Now it's time for you to prove yourself worthy of being my wife."
His cock is still hard and ready for her cunt to be wrapped around it. Soarynn glances over her shoulder towards their bed and he tuts, "No babydoll, you'll take me right here."
The look of sheer panic and fear is enough to make him cum again but he holds back, "Get up here and don't make me repeat myself."
Soarynn pushes herself from the floor, her knees shaking as she climbs onto the chair, her knees on either side of his thighs, her cunt hovering over his cock. "I...I'm scared it'll hurt," she admits softly. Coriolanus tilts his head, looking her up and down in her current state, cum on her face along with her tears. "Every time you take me it'll hurt," he says, his fingers slipping under her lace panties, ignoring the way she flinches, "but you'll take it like you should, am I understood?" Soarynn gasps when he rips her panties clean off and discards them onto the floor, "Yes sir."
Soarynn whimpers when he grabs her hips, pulling her down towards his cock, "Shouldn't, shouldn't you prepare me?" She asks, her voice breathless. Coriolanus shakes his head, so fucking ready to feel her tight cunt, "You've been preparing for this your whole life."
He pulls her down and Soarynn cries out, her entire body tensing and her hands flying to grab his shoulders. Coriolanus pays her no mind and keeps pulling her down, feeling how warm and tight her cunt is. "So fucking wet for me," he whispers. And she is wet, even if she isn't attracted to him, her body certainly is. Soarynn whines as he grips her hips tighter, "I can't," she gasps, more tears falling from her eyes.
Coriolanus shakes his head, finally pulling her down, completely bottoming out. "You will. You'll take my cock every fucking time Soarynn. It'll be the only thing you think of once I'm done with you." Soarynn's still crying but Coriolanus begins to move his hips up, his tip pressing against her sweet spot. Soarynn lets out a soft moan, "Oh," she gasps, "oh."
There it is.
He knew it would take only a few thrusts into that sweet cunt of hers to get her addicted. She'll learn to take it like she should, however he wants, whenever he wants. "There you go," he praises, thrusting into her at a rapid, punishing pace now, "finally turning into my little fuckdoll huh?" Soarynn can't even verbally respond anymore, all she can do is make pitiful little noises while she takes it like the cocksleeve she is.
He slaps his hand on her ass, hard enough to leave a bruise, "You'll take every drop of my cum too," he pants, "even when you're swollen with my child you'll still take it like you should." He can picture it now, Soarynn's stomach so much bigger, his heir inside of her, her lying on her back while she takes him over and over again.
Soarynn throws her head back, "Please sir, please it's too much." Coriolanus grabs her throat, squeezing it hard to cut off her airflow, "It can't be too much for a fuckdoll like you," he drawls, pulling her in for a heated kiss. Her lips are so soft against his, so delicate. he bites into her lower lip, drawing blood and tasting it. "You can deny it all you want but you love it," he says against her lips, making sure to drill into her sweet spot, make her dumb with it, "you love being full of my cock Soarynn, love being my good girl."
Coriolanus can feel her cunt beginning to squeeze him like a vice, she's getting closer to her peak and he can't wait to watch her fall apart, his dumb little fuckdoll. Her eyes are rolling to the back of her head, her legs shaking as she takes whatever he gives her. He can't wait to fuck her from behind, from above, in the shower, in his study. He'd fuck her on national television if he could. But she's his and no one will ever get to see her like this.
"Give it to me," he commands, his hand slipping down from her throat to play with her clit. Soarynn lets out a strangled scream the second he touches it, clearly overstimulated already. He'll have to play with her, find what makes her tick, fall apart, cry. "Be my good girl and cum."
It takes one swift pinch to her clit to get her to cum all over him, her walls fluttering around his cock as he continues to thrust into her. He's right behind her, his cock pumping her full of his cum. "Take it," he grunts, fucking it deep into her cunt, "take it like you should." Soarynn collapses against him while he slowly thrusts into her, making sure nothing is wasted. She's panting hard, her entire body trembling and he wonders if he should give her some words of encouragement, maybe wrap his arms around her.
He wants to see her dripping with his cum though.
The aftercare can wait. He grabs her waist and slowly begins to pull her off of his cock, groaning at how tight she grips him. Soarynn moans and her hands grip his shoulders. It's a heavenly sight to see her cunt dripping with his cum, running down her thighs. It's slightly red and there's a bit of blood covering his cock signifying the loss of her virginity. "Well, well, well," he croons, "looks like you fully belong to me now doll."
Soarynn gives him a look of indifference but he knows she's affected by it. She'll be terribly sore tomorrow but he'll take care of her, bathe her, clothe her, help her remember all the rules and then some.
Because she's his. To have and to hold.

Mother's Day
Aaron Hotchner x Fem!Reader
Tumblr media
Summary: Jack has a very important, surprise gift to give you on a special holiday for your inaugural celebrations together
Paring: Aaron Hotchner x Fem!Reader (Fluff)
WC: 1.4k
Whenever he can, Aaron leaves work early to get Jack. Thankfully, with Strauss's return, he's not still stuck doing two jobs, so he finishes his work in time to get Jack from school. You also love when he has days like that because it means he'll cook something delicious and homemade, maybe even dessert if Jack has anything to say about it.
Jack gets into the car like any other day, but what he says isn't the typical comment about his day or request for an afternoon activity. "Did you know it's Mother's Day this weekend?" Jack asks.
Aaron's heart clenches in his chest. Mother's Days, birthdays, Christmases, and the anniversary of Haley's death are all especially hard days for Jack, and Aaron tries his best to support his son. "Do you want to talk about mom?" He asks softly as he drives. Since Jack doesn't remember a lot of it, Aaron fills in the blanks and answers the questions.
"No, I might want to talk to her tonight, but I want to get a present," Jack explains.
Aaron frowns a little but accepts it. "We can do that. What do you want to get her?"
Jack's thinking face looks like his dad's, something you were the first to point out to Aaron. "I don't know." He admits. "You always get roses for Y/n so maybe I can get her flowers?"
That really throws Aaron, and it rapidly occurs to him that he and Jack aren't talking about the same person. "You want to get a present for Y/n?" He clarifies.
Jack shifts uncomfortably in his car seat, clearly nervous at his father's reaction. "I'm sorry. Is that wrong?"
Aaron can't shake his head fast enough. "No. No, of course not, buddy." He assures his son, reaching back with one hand to touch the boy's foot for extra reassurance. "I think she'd really like that. What made you think you want to get something for her?" He tries to ask it in a non-judgemental, casual tone.
"Well, in class, we were all talking about what we love about our moms, and a lot of the things that my friends were talking about are things that Y/n does for me." He explains, and Aaron feels his heart clench in the best way that time while he bites down a wide smile. "Mom is still my mom, and I'm not forgetting how she used to do those things for me, but Y/n is there for me too."
Aaron notices what he's emphasizing, and he's immensely proud of Jack for being able to express those feelings, understanding that appreciating his mom and recognizing your role in his life aren't mutually exclusive.
Then he's thinking about you as he absorbs the confession. And how lucky he is to have you. You have been a constant source of support and love, a beacon of hope and stability in the wake of their family tragedy, never anything but good to them. He feels so much joy and a tiny bit of sadness. He knows Haley would have loved you and appreciated how much you care for Jack, but he wishes she was there to see it.
He's choked up as he goes to speak. "Jack, that's very sweet of you, and I think, no, I know, Y/n feels the same way about you. She thinks you're the most amazing kid ever."
Jack smiles softly. "She does? Really?"
Aaron can't nod fast enough. "Yes, she always tells me how great she thinks you are."
"So we can get her a gift for her?" Jack confirms, looking hopeful.
"Absolutely." Aaron agrees, taking a right turn to the mall rather than a left to their home. "Whatever you want."
~
It's been such a long week of work and Saturday mornings are Jack's soccer games, so as soon as your Saturday movie night is over, you're fast asleep next to Aaron.
Like usual, he stirs beside you first on Sunday morning, but when you go to get up with him, he softly whispers for you to go back to sleep and that's very easy to do.
When you next wake up, the sun is creeping through the blinds at a different angle, signaling that you slept in for longer than you usually would.
There's a soft knock at the bedroom door before you can properly wake up and get out of bed, and you softly call out for who you expect to be Jack to come in.
You're right in your guess that it's Jack, who quickly jumps up onto the bed with you, followed by his father who has a breakfast tray with a big vase of flowers on it accompanying a delicious-looking plate of French toast.
"Wow, you've both been busy this morning." You mumble sleepily as you sit up to hug Jack who's jumping into your arms.
"Happy Mother's Day!" He cheers joyfully, and you're taken off guard by the greeting, completely shocked.
Your eyes dart to Aaron's to make sure you heard Jack correctly, and his wide smile confirms you have. He's looking between you both with so much love and tenderness, his heart so full it feels like it's bursting.
Your eyes fill with tears as you realize the enormity of what he's just said. "Thank you, Jack." You squeeze him even tighter in a hug, not wanting him to slip away from this perfect moment.
He pulls back and smiles at you before turning back to his dad. "Can we give it to her?" He asks.
"Sure, bud." Aaron agrees, setting the tray down over the top of your legs. He sits near the foot of the bed while Jack snuggles into your side.
Jack reaches forward to pick up the little box next to the breakfast. "Here." He hands it to you. "Happy Mother's Day. Thank you for caring so much about me."
You kiss his forehead, holding him tighter to his side as you gladly accept his thoughtful and unexpected gift. "You're very welcome. I love you, Jackers."
Whatever he has for you has to be jewelry from the small, flat shape of the box and the designer jewelry stamp. You open it up, and your heart melts more, if it were possible. What's inside is a gorgeous gold bracelet with a flat, circular charm, engraved with the letter J.
Jack touches it as your finger does. "It's a J for Jack."
You nod so you don't start crying too much. You're so overwhelmed by gratitude and happiness that you can't help but let one tear slip out.
"Thank you." You finally get the words out. "It's perfect and I love it so much. I'm going to wear it every day, so you're always with me."
Jack's grinning a proud grin, clearly proud of himself for picking it out. Aaron had told him how much you would love it, but seeing it confirms it for him. "I think it'll look beautiful on you." He tells you adorably.
You chuckle a little. "You're a sweet talker just like your dad, you know?"
Aaron laughs next to you, but Jack's confused at what your compliment means, and his attention is drawn elsewhere. "Daddy and I made French toast for me as well. Oh, and I got you flowers."
It's a gorgeous bunch of flowers, beautiful colors, and lovely smells. "Thank you so much. Both of you." You repeat to them, making sure they're feeling the reciprocated love you're feeling.
"You're welcome," Jack says politely.
Aaron leans over to kiss your forehead. "I love you." He whispers.
You whisper it back before looking back at your breakfast plate. "There's a lot of French toast here, so I might need some help eating it." You say suspiciously, looking between Jack and Aaron.
Jack's eyes light up like he's been waiting for you to offer him some of it, and you can't blame him, it looks and smells like restaurant quality and you know breakfast foods are Aaron's strong suit cooking-wise.
"I am kind of hungry." Jack agrees, smirking at you softly.
"Eat up then, bud." You say, offering him the first spoonful. "We've got lots of fun stuff to do today."

I love rockstar!Joel. Could you please do some angst? Maybe them discovering Violet has asthma 👀
Thank you for the request!! Sorry it took so long and thank you to everyone who voted so I could get my priorities in order lmao
Unknown
Pairing: rockstar!joel miller x actress!reader
Summary: You find out Violet has asthma [~900]
Warnings: hospital setting, brief medical emergency, my poor wheezy baby Violet :(, Joel being supportive in his Joel way
Tumblr media
The hospital is quiet now that the night shift has started. At least it’s quiet in the NICU. Joel is sitting next to you with a hand on your back, rubbing gentle circles, but you can’t tear your eyes away from Violet. She’s covered in little monitors and has medical tape holding an oxygen tube in her nose. The doctor who came in to give you her results called her the fattest baby in the NICU. It was supposed to be a compliment— a testament to how good of a job you’re doing at nursing your six-month-old twins— but it just made you cry. The results weren’t any better.
It could be worse. You know it could, but getting slapped in the face with a severe asthma diagnosis didn’t feel great. You asked if there was anything that caused it, like her diminished lung function at birth or pet hair or something. The doctor just shrugged and said, “It was probably just something she was born with.” It could be worse, but hearing that as the person who carried her and brought her into this world felt like a slap in the face.
The day is blurry when you go over the events again. You heard her wheezing over the monitor. You thought it was a fluke or a problem with the white noise machine, but then you saw her stomach moving sporadically. You and Joel ran to the twins’ room, called 911, and tried to soothe Violet enough for her to get air into her lungs. But you’re an adult, and you were so scared that you couldn’t breathe either, so how were you supposed to teach a six-month-old to do the same? Paramedics were in your house before you could realize and all at once, Violet was out of your arms and on a gurney.
“Go with her. I’ll meet you at the hospital, okay?” Joel said when the paramedics said only one parent could go in the ambulance. He was up the stairs to console a screaming Sophia before you could even make it out the door. She stabilized in the ambulance, but they decided to keep her overnight in case she had another asthma attack.
“It’s unlikely, but we’d like to be prepared. Just in case.” A nurse told you. The possibility of another attack on your baby daughter’s lungs is enough to keep you awake as she sleeps in the sterile hospital crib.
“What are you thinkin’ bout?” Joel asks quietly when he catches you rubbing nervous circles into Violet’s chubby hand. You shake your head and swallow thickly.
“What if I didn’t hear her? What if she had an attack while we were sleeping or something? What if she-“
“Hey, none of that,” he scolds and pulls you into his chest. “You saved her. She’s gonna be just fine because of you. She’s okay. There’s no use in thinkin’ bout things like that.”
“It’s gonna happen again, Joel. We can’t just ignore it and hope for the best. This could be the rest of her life, and you just want to not talk about it?” You snap. You’re tired and frustrated and a little hungry. It doesn’t have anything to do with him. He knows this.
“That’s not what I meant, baby. That’s not what I meant,” he murmurs as he kisses your temple. You try to relax into him and close your eyes at the feeling of his warm body enveloping yours. “Look at her,” He urges. Your eyes snap open, worried that she’s in trouble again, but you find her still sleeping peacefully. “You made her. You made her eyes and lips. You made her fingerprints and the birthmark on her shoulder. You made her smile.”
“I made her shitty lungs.”
“Please don’t call our daughter’s lungs shitty.”
“Sorry,” you rub your face in exhaustion. “Sorry, Violet. Your lungs aren’t shitty. They just need help.”
“There you go.” He says, a hint of a joke in his voice, and you manage a smile. “You’ve made three beautiful, perfect kids and made me the luckiest man alive in the process. There is nothin’ more I could ever ask of you except to be nicer to my wife. She works really hard, and you’re not bein’ fair to her.” Your smile gets replaced by tears, and you sniffle into his chest.
“I don’t know how to protect her from this.” You cry, and he takes a deep breath.
“I don’t either,” he admits. “But, we’re gonna learn, and we’re gonna figure it out. We’ll go to every doctor we need to go to. We’ll do all the tests. We’ll do everything we can to keep her safe.”
“Promise?”
“Promise.”
Violet makes it through the night without another episode, and you get cleared to go home. Sam, Ellie, and Sarah (holding Sophia) run out to meet you and see Violet. She still has a little mark on her face from the medical tape, but she’s alert and happy. She even kicks her feet and screeches in excitement when she sees Ellie. Then, just as siblings do, they play in the living room together. They’re a little rough with each other, and it takes everything in you to not snatch Violet away from the chaos, but it’s like pure magic when they laugh.
So, you hold back and watch. Joel kisses you and joins in on the wrestling after a few minutes. Seeing your family interact, play, and be as loud as they want is a comfort. It makes you feel like you did at least one thing right. It makes you feel like they’re alright, and they’ll continue to be. Come Hell or high water, the Miller kids are gonna be fine. You’ll both make sure of it.

The Law Firm (Sam one-shot)
Prompt: You start a new internship and your boss is kinda hot.
Tumblr media
If I were to be even more nervous than I am right now, I would probably be shaking like a leaf. My hands are sweaty as I approach clumsily the entrance of the building. The first time I came here, was two weeks ago, when I had the interview for the internship position. If it wasn't for my nearly neat résumé, I might have not gotten the job. I tend to ramble a lot when I'm nervous, and it clearly was showing on the day of the interview. 
This is the moment I've been waiting for throughout my whole career; when I get to put into practice my knowledge about the law. Even if it means starting as an intern pouring coffee for my boss. Whom I have yet to meet. In the interview, they told me that I’d be working under one of the senior lawyers to learn and observe. Then, if I do a good job, they might consider promoting me to a junior lawyer. I am really excited about the things to come. Perhaps too much because as I climb up the steps of the building in a hurry, I almost fall over. A steady hand in my arm stabilizes me enough to gather my bearings.
“Oh, thank you, I'm sorry.” I don't know what I'm apologizing for.
“No problem,” I finish dusting off my pants and look up to the voice’s owner that saved me from embarrassment.
My face lights up a deep shade of pink at the gorgeous man who stares at me. He's quite tall, possibly the tallest of the people around us. His hair is long, shaggy, and brown. His eyes are warm and inviting. This man is possibly the most handsome one I've encountered in my whole life. When I come to the realization of this fact, I notice that he is still holding my arm and, as well as me, he’s scrutinizing my appearance.
With a light chuckle, he lets go of me. “We wouldn't want you falling to the ground, would we?” He points at the coffee I hold in my hand. Luckily, it didn’t spill.
“No, of course not.”
For a sweet moment, none of us say anything. Normally, I would thank him again and leave, but there’s something pulling me to make this interaction last longer. So I introduce myself with the most confidence I can muster. He seems to like my approach because he smiles brightly at me.
“I'm Sam Winchester.” The name tries to wake something deep in my brain, but my overly restless self cannot comprehend what it is.
“Nice to meet you! Are you new here?” I don't know what prompts me to ask such a question, maybe it's a desire not to be the only one starting today in a new environment.
He scratches the back of his neck awkwardly, but he doesn't seem to be in a hurry to go inside.
“Well, you could say that.”
“Great!” I beam at him. “That way I won't be the only one.”
He can hear the relief in my voice. “Come on, I'm sure it won't be that bad.”
I nod enthusiastically, “I know, but I always get super nervous on my first day.”
Sam smiles sympathetically. There’s something akin to hesitancy when he says: “I’m sure your boss won’t be so hard on you.”
I shrug, “I haven’t met them, but I heard they’re fairly young. Well, at least my supervisor is, I had a meeting with the big boss the other day, Bobby. He seems like a good man.”
He chuckles. “Oh, yeah, Bobby’s great… as for your supervisor, don’t worry, I’m sure he won’t be too hard on you.”
“Well, I certainly hope so. If you haven't noticed, I tend to make a fool of myself easily.” I want to add something else, there's this little voice in the back of my head that is pressuring me to ask Sam Winchester out, even though I just met him. Maybe because he's handsome, or because he seems to be kind-hearted, but I cannot shut up my thoughts. Normally, I wouldn't flirt with him after just one meeting. This isn’t a normal day, and nerves affect me almost the same way alcohol does; they give me a false sense of security and make me say things that I probably shouldn't. “So, since we’re both new, why don't we meet up for lunch?”
His eyes widen comically, but before he can answer, a voice coming from afar calls his name: “Ah, Sam!” It’s a young man wearing a pristine black suit, and he’s walking toward us. I've seen him before, I think his name is Brady. He was the one who led me into Bobby's office for the interview. “Oh, I see you met the new intern. Hi there, how are you liking it so far?”
“Hello,” I greet, “I haven't gone inside yet.” I discreetly check my watch to see that it's still early. “Sam was kind enough to help me when I almost tripped.”
“I see,” Brady nods, “Sam, huh?” The question isn’t directed towards me because he's looking at the tall man. Sam gives him a warning glance. I cannot comprehend what is happening until Brady speaks again. “Well, it's good you’ve already met your supervisor. He was promoted just yesterday. Honestly, it saves me the trouble of making introductions.”
His words render me speechless. What the fuck did he just say? Did I just flirt with my supervisor? Which is basically having the hots for my boss. Sam looks at me with an apologetic glance. I cannot meet his eyes. Brady mustn’t notice the silence his comment created because he continues: “I'm gonna head inside, see you later!”
His happy pace doesn’t falter one bit. I'm considering that maybe he was aware of what his statement would do.
“I apologize for my previous behavior… I didn't mean-”
Sam doesn't let me continue, “you didn't?” He ponders for a moment. “That's a shame, we would've had a nice time.” I can tell by the way his eyes shine and his mouth forms a gentle smile that he is not teasing me, but actually means what he's saying. “Why don’t you come by my office at 2 p.m. and then we can go grab some lunch?”
He doesn't leave room for opinions because he turns around and walks inside the building without another word. What just happened? Do I have a date with my boss? I guess this first day isn't as crappy as I thought it would be.

Rewrite The Stars
Chapter Three
Summary: One photo changes your whole life, when you accidentally bump into a celebrity and the world starts to believe that you are a couple.
chapter two chapter four
Tumblr media
A day later and you were already going crazy, all you did was avoid the paparazzi and reporters. Which didn't stop them from getting information about you. At least you've been busy reading the contract. It's no surprise that I'm not the biggest beneficiary of it. But that doesn't mean you won't gain anything from it. I mean, you'd be signing a contract that authorizes you to do your best to make the world believe you've conquered Pedro Pascal. And you'd earn a commission for the time worked, like a acting job. The only inconvenient things are that it's up to Pascal to decide when the relationship ends, and you couldn't inform anyone about this agreement. You want to sign the contract, no doubt you do. But first you need to work out some details with Mr. Pascal. And luckily, you have his agent's phone number. You then ventured this morning sending a message asking Pascal's agent to ask him to meet you.
"Did you sign?" Asks a voice behind you that you recognize as your future fake boyfriend.
"Negative. But I will sign it. I know your agent wouldn't agree to modify some aspects of this contract." You tries to look confident but you actually didn't expect Mr. Pascal to come.
"What modifications?" Pedro speaks curiously, looking at you fixedly which makes you a little nervous.
"If we're going to pretend to date, you're going to have to actually pretend to be my boyfriend. I don't want to be the only one trying. I saw that in the contract, I will have to be your fake girlfriend even during family moments." You speak almost stuttering. Damn, there's no way to pretend to be casual in front of Pedro.
"That, I can do. Of course, we only have my spare moments. It's important to me that my family also thinks that what we have is real." Pascal speaks next to you. In fact you two are in a shopping mall parking lot. He's wearing a cap and a hoodie, so you think no one will probably notice. It helps that your meeting is happening in the early hours of the morning, when there is hardly any movement.
"Another thing I would like to ask is that the end of our relationship be something mutually agreed upon. Before you misunderstand me, I will not refuse to end our false relationship.I just want to be warned in advance and be able to determine how we are going to fake our end." You say, looking into his eyes. He appears to be carefully analyzing your request.
"As long as you know that when it's over, it's over. But I think it's fair that you say something about our breakup. Our fake breakup." Pascal seems to want a confirmation that you understand the fact that everything will be fake.
"And one last thing, after we're done pretending all of this. I don't want to receive any more financial compensation for this." This was perhaps the information that surprised him the most.
"You don't have to do this, it's only fair that you get paid for your work." He speaks as if he finds your request strange.
"You said exactly the right thing, getting paid for my work. My job is to fake date you and when it ends, it's like being fired. See, do I know how to see things professionally? No need being afraid that I won't be able to be a professional just because..." You hesitate to say the first thing that came in your mind.
"Just because?" Pedro questions, approaching you who is afraid to say what you are thinking.
"Just because I'm clearly your fan. But I have to be honest, I need financial stability more than taking advantage of our situation. As soon as I'm done playing your girlfriend,I'm going to focus my strength on having a normal steady job and getting on with my life." You won't admit your crush on him so easily, but the truth is that you really need this opportunity.
"I will do everything in my power to meet your demands. But you know this will mean that another contract will have to be made." Pascal says while holding his hands in his pocket.
"Until then, you'll have to trust my word. I'll be your fake girlfriend with all the perks and bonuses of that situation." You say, extending your hand to Pedro, who extend his hand. You two shake your hands together as if making a deal. Until you two hear a strange noise, from a curious person who probably knows no limits.
"Want to do something risky?" Mr. Pascal says while we are still practically holding hands.
"What?" You ask curiously, since you thought he would want to hide. He then pulls you close to him and gives you a hug. A long hug that seems very tender. When he stops hugging you, he kisses your forehead as if he really were your boyfriend.
"See you tomorrow, girlfriend. Everything you need will be ready tomorrow." He speaks and heads towards the car. Whoever was watching us leaves with him. And you go home quickly.

Testing the Cat Lady, Part 3
Pairing: LA Buggy the Clown x Reader
Summary: Buggy lays down the plans for your act, but you're not on board and not afraid to say it.
Warnings: language, sexual innuendo
Word Count: 1800
A/N: I've been writing this completely out of order and praying that it ends up being coherent lol
Tumblr media
It’s been a couple of weeks since you involuntarily joined the Buggy pirates. The captain had assigned Klaus as your babysitter, but now that you seem acclimated, you’ve been granted free reign of the ship sans his watchful eyes. Though it was almost embarrassing to admit it, being part of the crew was starting to grow on you.
Years had passed since you first left home to travel the East Blue. High expectations from your parents to take over the prosperous family business interested you about as much as a used tissue. At no point did they ever seem willing to meet you half way or support you in following your dreams, so after much deliberation, you left them behind – your family, the business, the stability – all of it. For nearly a decade, you traveled without forming any friendships, rationalizing that there would be no real way to maintain them after moving on to the next adventure. Until you found Mango, that is. Being part of this crew is the first time in ages that you’ve been in anything akin to a family.
Save for a few especially crusty pirates that you have no intention of ever befriending, Captain Buggy, the man in charge, the one who wanted you here in the first place, has been the toughest nut to crack. Any time you have a question for him or a request to make or anything, really, tracking him down is like pulling teeth. Except for the first morning on board when he assigned you a job and a place in his show, you haven’t gotten a chance to say two words to the guy.
Unbeknownst to you, it’s been entirely intentional on his part. Right from the day of your capture, he knew there was something about you that pushed him to the edge of his comfort zone. Oftentimes, he’d catch himself looking your way before quickly averting his eyes, hoping that no one had spotted him staring, especially you of all people. Luckily for him, the only ones to notice were his first and second in command, Mohji and Cabaji, but they didn’t dare ask about it.
Buggy would rather die than admit it, but you make him nervous. Of course, he just chalks it up to being uncertain of both the full power of your devil fruit ability and how far you’d be willing to use it to get your way. Part of him almost regrets recruiting you and putting himself through the stress, but it’s undeniable that you’re too valuable of an asset to let go. Not only as a circus performer, but in day-to-day life, as well. It’s become an absentminded habit to sing as you saunter around the ship, which keeps everyone in high spirits. This, in turn, did wonders for overall productivity. Not to mention, it meant there were fewer fights he had to break up.
Despite his best efforts, he needed to come to terms with the fact that he’d have to talk to you sooner or later. That day finally came when he could no longer put off discussing plans for your act. Several tries of stepping up to your bedroom door and almost knocking were needed to finally calm his nerves enough to tap on it. Those nerves, however, immediately shoot back up when you tell him to let himself in. You lay on your bed, not willing to disturb Mango, who sits comfortably on your chest. Cute, he thinks, taking in the sight. Seeing that it’s your captain, you reluctantly remove the cat from your chest and stand. Mango looks only mildly insulted and trots off to the bathtub, his next favorite napping spot. Buggy swallows hard before talking. “I’ve given it some thought, and it would be best to put you as the opening act. It’ll be a good way to keep the audience from, y’know, crying and all that,” Buggy states, not wanting to beat around the bush.
“Feels like a lot of pressure to be the one in charge of setting the mood for the entire show. Especially with them being unwilling participants,” you respond, visibly offending him. And to think he found you cute just seconds ago. Though you hadn’t seen his methods of gathering an audience firsthand yet, the crewmates you’d talked to explained how it went down. Said methods definitely hadn’t gained your stamp of approval. They were coldhearted, and the only point of even having an audience at all was to fuel his ego.
“Yeah, well, a lot of time went into mulling it over. You should feel honored.” The sass in his voice is palpable. “I’m not particularly fond of sharing the spotlight, but I’m willing to sacrifice a few minutes if it’ll make the audience love me.”
“You can’t make people love you.”
He looks down at you with narrowed eyes. “No, but you can.” Having him standing over you like that makes you feel small. Vulnerable, even. It sends a shiver down your spine. “Remember, I got a little preview of that act of yours. That being said, you’re not going to be done there. Once you’re off stage, I want you to come over by me and keep singing. It’s your job to keep the mood up. And if you can’t deliver,” he pauses for dramatic effect, because gods know how he lives for drama, “you might just end up on the bottom of the sea.” As he speaks, he gets cockier, widening his eyes and flashing you a shit-eating grin. Despite how nice his face is to look at, it really manages to piss you off. All you can do is scowl, which earns you one of his signature psychopathic giggles. Getting you riled up has him basking in his own glory. However, behind his bravado is a man who’s overcompensating to hide the uneasiness you stir in him. For the entirety of your conversation, he’s been thanking the gods that his bandana and gloves hide the nervous sweat he’s broken into.
With how much he’s making fun of you, why he wants you beside him, of all places, makes no sense, but it would be next to impossible to get a straight answer out of the clown. Hell, even if he wanted to, he probably wouldn’t have been able to give you an answer. Maybe it’s just another way of babysitting newcomers, you guess.
“Ugh. Whatever, fine.” Admitting defeat seems like the least exhausting option here. You know that in the end, he’ll end up getting his way regardless.
“That’s the spirit, songbird. Anyway, I was thinking that you could choose the opening song, then these ones would be good once you’re at my side.” He smirks and hands you a list of several songs written with unexpectedly neat handwriting.
You scan the list over, taking note that nearly half of them were ridiculous sea shanties that were often sung by pirates after a few too many drinks. “Absolutely not.”
“And why not?” The smirk widens into another stupid shit-eating grin. You have half a mind to uppercut him, but his sharp jawline would probably cause more damage to you than to him.
“Because this is humiliating.” You push the list roughly into his chest, but he doesn’t take any offense to the attitude you’re dishing out. In fact, he finds it rather endearing, which only adds fuel to the fire.
“Aw, okay, I’ll let you switch some of them out. Consider it compensation for how hard that little mouth of yours works to keep my freaks so cheery.” Gross. Could he at least have the decency to put it literally any other way? Knowing that he was just looking for a reaction, you try to show no outward signs of disgust and remain as straight-faced as possible. With any luck, he’d gloss over the jab and get back to the matter at hand. “What, cat got your tongue?”
Unfortunately, luck isn’t on your side, and he’s too annoying to ignore. “You know, if I really wanted to, I could sing you to the bottom of the sea.”
He gulps, and you watch as several emotions flash across his face. First, he wonders if you can actually do that. Second, he wonders if you will do that. Third, he decides that if you can and will, he’s taking you with him. “Listen here, cupcake.” He glowers down at you. “You’re not the only one with a few flashy tricks. Don’t try me.”
“I could take you.”
He smirks at your confident statement. “What, are you and the furball gonna tag team it?”
Despite your best efforts to withhold a chuckle, the mental image of Mango tearing into Buggy is just too funny. “You never know, he’s pretty vicious. I mean, you’ve seen his handiwork.” As if on cue, Mango waltzes back into the main room from his hiding spot in the bathtub and squints at both of you before he hops up and settles on the bed. His perfect timing further feeds your laughter. Few things turn your mood around like your furry friend does.
Buggy looks between you and your cat. The warmth of your laughter makes his frustration slowly melt away and a small smile forms on his face.  Even if it’s only to himself, he has to admit that hearing your genuine laughter is almost as gratifying as standing in a spotlight. “Yes, very scary,” he muses. Mood swings are all but guaranteed in Buggy’s day-to-day, but this single conversation is enough to give him whiplash.
With the high tension fizzled out, you two get back to business. When he wasn’t busy being an asshole, he was actually pretty cooperative and, dare you say it, professional. Raids and the shows that follow are two things that he actually takes seriously, so he puts in a great deal of effort to make sure things go flawlessly.
By the end of the conversation, everything is decided. With just your lute in hand, you were to take the center stage and use your devil fruit abilities to lighten the mood of the audience, turning their fear into awe and delight, then disappear to Buggy’s side to provide some background music to keep the atmosphere cheerful. No dumb songs mixed into the performance, thank gods. Seems easy enough.
In the days that followed, the flashy fool seemed lively and had a bounce in his step. How he behaved before your arrival would obviously remain somewhat of a mystery, but from what everyone hinted at, his temperament had improved lately. Chances were that it was due to your abilities being incorporated into the show, and rightfully so. If everything went well, it would be a genuine hit, rather than a forced one.

ZAMNNNNNN HINATA SHOYO😛
Speaking of hinata GO READ MY HEADCANNONS FOR HIMM
Purple=you
Orange=shoyo hinata
.
.
Having sex in the house was one thing but trying to be sneaky about it is a WHOLE different thing
The muffled erotic sounds being made
The creaking of the bed
High pitched and low pitched moans coming from Shoyos mouth, his jaw slightly open,drool coming out.
You decided to tease him by speeding up
“H-hngh s-low down g-GAH!”
-he presses his face into the pillow in attempt to muffle his sounds-
“Cmon now Shoyo you have to be quiet~”
-you purposely thrust at an angle so it hits his sweet spot repeatedly-
“I-I-can’ttt” -shoyo quietly whines out-
His eyes are teary from the overwhelming pleasure he is repeatedly getting
His hands gripping onto the pillow for stability
“Why? am I doing a hell of a job at pleasuring you” -you say teasingly while chuckling-
“Stop teasinggg mee” -he says while clearly out of breath-
The thrusts became more intense and the sound of skin slapping starts to fill the room
A sudden moan comes out of shoyos mouth
A little too loud for your liking
-you cup his mouth-
“As much as it turns me on to hear you moan my name I don’t want the whole house hearing it”
-Hinata squirms under you, his erect member rubbing against you made him see the stars-
it almost looked like hearts were forming in his eyes
-The knot in his stomach was starting to come undone and you could obviously tell from the way his legs and wraps around ur waist and his hands digging in ur back-
To attempt to quiet him down you choose to kiss him
His hands now running in your hair while having a full blown make out session
-Out of spite you kiss his neck and give him hickeys-
“Don’t put them anywhere visible”
“Oops”
Just from that sound shoyo already knows what happened
“Aw man the whole team is gonna ask about the bruise on my neck againn”
“Just say cuz of me”
“S-shut up”
The bed started to creak more intensely
Thank god the room walls were thick
“*Huff*huff I’m close to cumming soon”
-he grips your shoulders harder-
“*huff* me too”
-Before you were close to cumming you pulled out and cummed on his chest-
“Hngh!”
-soon after, you felt something warm on ur stomach shoyo just came also-
-knock knock-
Hinatas mom: Shoyo sweetie? Everything ok in there?
(Hinatas mind right now: fuckfuckfuckfuck)
“Um y-YEAH EVERYTHINGS OK WERE JUST UHH-“
“WORKING OUT!”
“YEAH WORKING OUT”
Hinatas mom: well ok! Have fun
-You both wait for her footsteps to go away-
“You need to be more quiet more boke”
“Hey!don’t call me that”

Any mech from IDW (cause I'm not too familiar w it and I only know prowl and ratchet there)
W cybertronian crush who's stern and poker faced just.. having the dorkiest laugh in existence?
They'd have squeaks in their laugh with some wheezing mixed in it too, the longer they laugh the more they sound like a fucking squeaky toy it's just adorable
It's the first time they heard the reader laugh too! Damn, he feels like he fell all over again
Hellooooo, I have decided, I will be doing Prowl, simply because Prowl is hot . I hope this is what you were looking for! Please do come back for more request if you'd like. Enjoy :)
Pairing: Prowl x Reader
Warnings: None
The mech watched as the bot had told you about the future threats, ranting about some group of cybertronians. Your face plate was poker, not a single emotion being able to present. Your nods of approval and then the occasional confirmation. The bot you were speaking to was under your authority. Which, he couldn't really pinpoint what you did, but he just knew you were serious about it. No emotions, always serious. Now that he's thinking about it he doesn't think he’s ever seen you do anything but your job. He looked away from you, a sad frown placed on his face plating. All these years of liking you, and he can’t figure out if he’s ever seen you with a smile. Yeah, a straight face, stern attitude, and never laughing might be part of your personality, but it would be nice to hear you laugh or see you smile. 
Now he sits in the same spot as before, staring at you, overhearing your conversation with some other bot. Watching as you nod, write a few things down, and stare at the bot. He does this every day, matter of fact, you do this everyday, nod, write things down, and stare. In this moment he wondered what it was about you that he liked, or in better words, why he liked you. How’d he, Prowl, develop feelings for someone like you, who is just as stern as him. Maybe he took the opposites attract too seriously. You took up thoughts far too often, more often than he’d like. He decided he wasn’t going to sit there and just stare, so he stood up abruptly, and a few other bots turned to look at him. You were looking at him. Those same optics he stares at staring back at him this time. He got nervous, a small smile came on his face, it didn’t feel like the other ones, it was nervous, worried, and sloppy. He looked silly and that was funny to you. 
A laugh came from you, your poker face breaking and stern attitude gone. A smile presented on your face as your servo came up to cover it. You were trying to control it, knowing if you laughed for too long the squeaks would come, and you were not ready for them to hear that. But when you went to open your optics again, the look on Prowls face plating was priceless, so you kept laughing. Placing the other servos on the desk in front of you, an attempt to stabilize yourself. Why was his face so funny? All he was doing was staring at you, and gave you a goofy smile when he stood up. Before you could stop yourself, the first squeak came out, and then you heard someone else laugh, which in fact did make you laugh more, and now it wouldn’t stop, you were trying your best, but your occasional squeaks before for frequent. You threw your helm back, a wheeze coming from you. Your attempt to stop failed, and now you were just a wheezing squeaky toy. 
Prowl stepped closer to you, staring in awe, you were so cute. Your smile was the brightest thing he’s ever seen, and your laugh, god he could listen to it for the rest of his life. He honestly fell in love with you all over again, and all it took was a goofy smile. Maybe he could actually get you to laugh more often, hell that might be the only thing he tries to do for the rest of his time with you.

5 Times the Feanorians were frustratingly siblingy and 1 time they weren’t
4. The general’s knock was greeted by a calm ‘come in’ as he pushed open the door to the lord of Himring’s drawing room with the days schedule already on his lips before he was abruptly interrupted by Celegorm pushing his way past, grabbing a pastry off the table and flinging himself down onto the couch next to Huan, forgoing any invitation from either the guards or his brother. He tried to ignore it and begin his report but he was immediately cut off by the second son of Feanor who was tuning his harp while lying on a rug with his feet resting up on an armchair ‘No talking about work during midweek breakfasts.’ What? He’d never seen his lord have a problem with working from the crack of dawn onwards before nor had he heard such a complaint from any of his contemporaries either.
Maglor continued while closing his eyes as if focusing on his composing before strumming out a few clear notes ‘Not literal midweek breakfasts. We just call it that.’ This answered precisely nothing and just left him wondering what ‘it’ was supposed to be. He didn’t have the chance to spend more time wondering though because Caranthir chose this moment to make himself known from whatever corner of the room he’d been hiding in by perching on the desk Maedhros was leaning his elbow on while flicking through some journal on linguistics. Caranthir nudged his shoulder with a little glare while inclining his head toward the tray Celegorm had had no qualms about pillaging. ‘You should eat. At least take an apple.’ Maedhros laid his book down to meet his brothers eyes with an unimpressed eye roll ‘I thought we agreed not to criticise each other’s personal habits. Because I can tell you right now that your sleep schedule is no where in the parameters of normal and never has been.’ Caranthir reached back and scraped a thin layer of butter and marmalade onto a few slices of bread and cut them into quarters on a plate along with a few pieces of fruit all while maintaining eye contact. ‘You don’t have to eat much. I know you don’t feel like it. But just take something. Please Nelyo.’
Maedhros sighed and ate a slice of bread to subtle exhales of relief from the siblings who had been watching the interaction with no small amount of trepidation. Caranthir smiled softly and kissed his brother’s cheek before pulling some embroidery out of his pocket and splaying himself across the armchair with Maglor’s legs in his lap. He looked more closely around the room, not wishing to be caught off guard by more princes materialising from the walls and sure enough there was Curufin fiddling with some metal rods on the windowsill and Amras helping Celegorm untangle some kind of snare.
He was no more sure about what was going on than he was before. ‘Are you just going to stand there?’ Curufin raised an eyebrow in that uniquely Feanorian manner that he saw far too much in his chosen career path. ‘We’ll be there for the meeting at noon, we’d prefer to be left in our own company until then. Give us two hours.’ He backed away to the door in a daze without any further prompting necessary to make him want to get away from whatever was going on here.
That many Feanorians in a room, fully alert, and wishing to keep their conversation secret even from their own vassals? Governments, monarchies, even gods should be getting very nervous for their job stability. The brothers came out of the room two hours later without a detailed plan to stage a coup. There did however appear 14 essays on the history of Kuzdhul, 4 new operas, a detailed sketch comparison of different methods of trapping wild boar, 17 embroidered blankets, a prototype for a new tool for forge use and twenty mended deer traps. The kitchens also noted the loss of a concerning amount of pastries and caffeinated beverages.
