Misraaks and Eramis were supposed to be parallels of ‘I started off as a cutthroat pirate captain who killed crew members sometimes out of sheer impatience or intolerance and I chose to give up my past to build a better life for the eliksni at great cost to myself; I thought redemption was unachievable but I have made great effort to get better and look back on my past with great shame’ and ‘I wanted a better life for eliksni so badly that I let myself use dark and unkind means to achieve it, to the point it corrupted me, and I do not think myself worthy of redemption or kindness because I think I am viewed too much as a monster by others to ever be welcomed back. Redemption is unachievable for me and I look upon my current self with great shame’ but okay okay okay okay okay okay okay okay okay okay okay

I used to joke around that in a spiritual sort of sense I was always supposed to grow up rich. I've got the soul of an aristocrat, the wallet of a commoner and the politics of someone who is rly pissed off in the most pretentious way. Anyways, this little jokey joke feels wrong now that I know I SHOULD have been rich all along if it wasent for granpa being a failcore boy-loser. To be fair tho, growing up with an aristocrats soul in an aristocrats home would have undoubtedly made me so much more miserable and annoying. God knew the disaster he was preventing by stripping me from that lifestyle. Im still bitter tho but it'll pass
#the aristocrats soul thing is true btw ive been told by several friends that i have something very high class about me#even tho im literally always the poor one out of the bunch lmao#i actually am not sure what theyre refering to bc they say its just a vibe#but when i myself say i was ment to grow up as a rich girl i mostly just mean i have expensive tastes and a love for 'high culture' stuff#i feel very at home in places not ment for people with my economical standing lmao#this post is refering to my dad dropping lore abt my grandpa being super rich before he divorced his wife and got together with my grandma#i forgot to add any context sorry lmao#anyway..... WE COULD HAVE HAD IT AAAAAAAALL#kidding. it was for the best bc my mom would have never got together with my dad if he was some obscenely rich asshole#and my dad might have not wanted to be a teacher if he grew up in a mansion and surrounded himself with a bunch of preppy rich kid assholes#and then my kom and dad would have never met anyway 🤷‍♀️#so i guess... once again.. i should thank my grandad for humbly granting our family poverty 🙏! slay !!!! yasss queen !!#jesus were not even poor anymore 🙄 were like middle class these days so rly i have no right to be this annoying#i just need a minute to grieve the childhood i could have had ok ! 🥲 it wasent always the easiest being the poor kid growing up#back then i would have traded anything to be a rich asshole so idk. i kinda just feel bad for my childhood self#whatever. slay grandpa. thanks for being a dumb loser. peace be with you

The Little Things Part 2 (Eddie Munson x Reader)
Tumblr media
Masterlist  All Parts
Eddie Munson x Reader (She/Her)
Warnings: None
Synopsis: Y/N puts eyeliner on Eddie (That’s it. That’s all you need to know.)
Y/N notes: none
Wanna be on the Eddie Munson tag list? Look here!
Wanna request something? Look here!
“Good evening gents!” Eddie shouted as he sauntered into their club room. The group turned to see their dungeon master, They were already setup and waiting for him.
“Eddie where the hell have you been? We were supposed to start like 15 minutes ago!” Dustin whined.
“I’m afraid there was a fair maiden in need of saving.” Eddie explained as he sat down. He put both his hands on the table, examining the set up.
“A fair maiden?” Dustin repeated, sceptical. Mike looked down at Eddie’s hands, noticing his decorated nails.
“Y/N L/N?!” Mike questioned. Eddie just smiled and winked. “No way dude.”
“I’ll have you know Wheeler, that L/N and I are very. Good. Friends.” Eddie replied, putting emphasis on his last three words. He was riding the high of the afternoon he had had with Y/N. It actually made the D&D session better as Eddie was even more in character than usual.
As the club filtered out, Dustin and Mike brought it up again.
“Y/N L/N. Really?” Mike asked for the millionth time.
“Yes Wheeler. Really.” Eddie replied as the cold night air hit them.
“I still don’t buy it.” Dustin shook his head. Eddie walked backwards towards his van.
“You shall see sceptical one. Tomorrow morning. Before school.” He did finger guns at them before getting into his van and driving off.
The next morning arrived. Eddie sat in his van in the car park listening to music, drumming on the steering wheel as he watched students filter into the building. He heard a knock on his side window. Y/N was there, smiling at him. He couldn’t help but smile back. He watched as she ran around the front and got into the passenger seat. She held up her eyeliner pencil.
“You ready?” She asked excitedly, already taking the lid off. Eddie chuckled.
“As long as you don’t take my eye out L/N.”
“Can’t make any promises Eddie.” She joked back. She held Eddie’s chin and moved him to face her. The girl scanned then furrowed her eyebrows in thought. Eddie was just appreciating how close they were to each other again. Her hand felt so soft on his face. He wanted to put his hand on top but resisted the urge.
“Everything okay?” He asked, after a few seconds of silence. Y/N let go of his face and began getting up.
“I can’t get a good view from here. Do you mind?” She moved over to sit on Eddie’s lap, facing him. The metal head’s eyes widened as he watched her get on top of him. His arms reflexively went up so they were in mid air. He could feel his nerves rising. Y/N noted his slight panic.
“You good?” Eddie paused before replying quietly.
“I don’t know where to put my hands.” Y/N chuckled and guided his hands to rest on her hips.
“Here okay?”
“Y-Yeah.” Eddie managed to reply, still processing what was happening.
“Okay try to stay still.” Once she started, Eddie managed to relax a little and actually enjoy the experience. He didn’t want to move his hands in case he did something wrong. Instead he focused on Y/N’s face, still deep in concentration. One hand held his chin, tilting his head back, the other holding the pencil. “You gotta look up.”
“But what if I wanna look at you?” Eddie mumbled but Y/N definitely caught it. She couldn’t help but smile at that response. Still, she was determined to do what she set out to.
“You can look at me all you want when I’m done.” Eddie looked up.
“All I want?”
“Aaaaaaaall you want.” Y/N replied, drawing across Eddie’s waterline. She tried to keep it steady as Eddie’s grin changed the shape of his eyes. She finally pulled away.
“How do I look L/N?”
“Pretty.” Eddie’s smile grew wider at her response.
“Yeah?”
“Yeah.” Y/N moved his hair away from his eyes to admire her work.
“You got anything else for me?” Eddie asked. Y/N cocked her head to the side.
“Hmm… I wish I’d brought my tinted lip gloss. But that probably would have been too much.” She replied, letting herself think out loud. Eddie shrugged.
“I’d be up for it.” Y/N nodded.
“Okay I’ll remember it for tomorro-“
“You’re wearing it right now aren’t you?” Eddie questioned.
“Yeah?” Y/N replied cautiously.
“Well there is one way I can wear your lip gloss then.” Eddie stated. Y/N hesitated for a moment. She slowly leaned forward. Eddie closed his eyes and waited patiently to feel Y/N’s lips on his.
She tasted soft and sweet. Even in just a simple kiss, he felt his world spinning. He opened his eyes again as he felt her pull away. She stared at him quizzically before cleaning up the corners of his mouth with her finger.
“Not sure if it suits you…”
“Y/N you can’t be serious.”
“What?” Y/N questioned.
“You can’t tell me that the only reason you did that was to see how I’d look with the lip gloss on.” Y/N chuckled.
“I didn’t say that.” Eddie finally smiled back at her again. They heard the school bell ring from the building. “Shit I’m gonna be late.”
Y/N spun herself around so that she was still sat on him, but now facing the front. She pulled down the mirror to fix her own lip gloss and couldn’t help but notice Eddie staring. She also couldn’t ignore how his arms had wrapped around her waist. No matter how warm and comforting it felt, she needed to go. “Eddie come on.”
“We can be a little late.” Eddie mumbled into her neck. Y/N chuckled as she pulled herself out of his grasp.
“Nope we gotta go.” The metal head sighed but didn’t protest anymore. He followed Y/N out of his van and to the front entrance. That’s when he spotted Dustin and Mike staring at them, mouths slightly open in disbelief. Eddie wasn’t sure how much they had seen but it was definitely at least Y/N sitting on his lap in his van. Y/N turned back to him one last time. “I’ll see you later!” Eddie waved as she disappeared inside.
“How the hell..?” Mike managed to say. Eddie just winked at them and walked past.
“Told ya boys.”

i might dislike canon Snape, but that does not stop me from wanting that 'we're doing canon now fuck Jo' take where Lily forces Snape and James to talk their issues out, Snape gets a 'stop using the dark forces as a tool to hide from your trauma king' talk, and they eventually form an absolutely horrible triad, where Lily has two hands, and maybe sometimes James and Snape mack on each other, just a bit
and also Harry's family gets even fucker weirder than it was in canon

GIGS No519 Interview 京 [Voice]
Tumblr media
GIGS 2021 JUN released on April 27th (interview itself was done on April 6th)
The last solo interview is with Kyo. In the previous interviews, all band members from the music instrument squad all mentioned ‘simple’ in reference to Oboro. Yet how did he perceive the song and what feelings were put into the lyrics? Let’s discuss it thoroughly.
The most important thing is that I want to be able to let out honestly what I want express, what I see, what I felt or thought that one moment.
text: Yukinobu Hasegawa photos: Reishi Eguma translation: kyotaku (pls let me know if you see any mistakes!)
You can get GIGS 6月号 on Amazon Japan or HMV or CDJapan or TOWER RECORDS or other shops!
――It shows in the footage enclosed in the deluxe and first press editions of ‘Oboro’ that the songwriting for the new album started quite some time ago.
京   I was probably working on various things without thinking about a single, so I don’t really remember when was it. I’m working on songs aaaaaaaall the time (laughing). I don’t really grasp when each song was done or which one will become a single, so honestly speaking I don’t really know.
――You’re also doing sukekiyo. I have many chances to speak with sukekiyo members and they were surprised that ‘Kyo will be sending new songs ideas or melody anytime’ (laughing). Is your pace of coming up with ideas as high with DIR EN GREY?
京   On the contrary, I’m not saying much in case of DIR EN GREY. Just about ‘I’m looking forward to it’. I’m not writing songs, so upon listening to the demo of the song sent by other members I just give them my opinion like ‘how about we change it a bit like this?’ or ‘this way is good’.
――At the time you started writing songs did you already have an idea what you wanted for the next album?
京   I didn’t. Not at all, I felt I could read this and that about the album from the direction we were going from the atmosphere of the songs the members brought in earlier. In our case we often don’t have talks like ‘let’s make an album like this’. So, on the contrary I usually don’t say much about things like album image, I think we can make more irregular thing if I keep a flat position.
――So even you are looking forward to what kind of response you will have when listening to the song’s demo?
京   I am.
――Because of the spread of COVID-19 it’s hard to move around now, so how do you get input for the music, art and so on?
京   Nah, I don’t really do anything. If you ask about input... the most I do is watching various news.
――Do you feel that the things happening around you and around the world are something that drive you when you’re expressing yourself?
京   I’m sure they do. What I think when I see and feel various things, how I communicate that, it’s about that.
――The single ‘Ochita koto no aru sora’ you released last year had a digital release only thus there were no lyrics included, but fans listened to the song many times to try to understand the lyrics. As a result, I think they realized that it’s a song with a dreadful/intense message. Because lyrics include a such date as ‘㋇㏥・August the 6th’ among other things, there was a reaction also from fans around the world.
京   Frankly, I don’t check fans reactions. I don’t know what people will think after listening, but I don’t want to talk about the atomic bomb. In the end, the fighting continues, the same things keep happening again and again...like that. I think there are many issues, but there’s no right answer to them, it’s all just collisions of what we ourselves think is right and just. That’s why you can’t say that something is bad as a rule. It’s just one way of thinking, there are many ways we can look at things. For example, currently during the pandemic holding a concert is the right thing to do or not, won’t the answer and the way of thinking be different for every person? Now more than ever we got a situation when it’s very difficult to say ‘this is the way’. It’s the way I feel now seeing various things.
――Because of COVID-19 there’s a lot of hate crime against Asians in the US. It’s a crime, but the people who commit it may see it as an act of justice.
京   That’s true. There are also many other issues like the gender discrimination, in all of them Japan is seen as lagging behind. It can’t be simply denied because the situation now and in the past is different, depending on the country or culture the way people feel or think is also different. It’s a difficult issue, isn’t it?
――I think you write many lyrics that make us think about that. There’s not only grieving in ‘Ochita koto no aru sora’, there’s a positive message at the end. That really resonated with me. Do you feel like the way you express and communicate things has changed?
京   No, I don’t think anything changed.
――I’d like to talk about ‘Oboro’ now, it seems like it was a pick out of few songs. What was your impression when you listened to the original song?
京   It was like all demos felt more like the album songs than a single. It’s normal as we originally didn’t start working on them thinking about creating a single, most of the songs were intended for the album and we decided to finish one as a single. Recently we had many up-tempo singles, so I thought it would be a good idea to release a ballad, not as epic as previous ones, but a ballad that could be included on the album.
――What kind of response did you have when you listened to the original song for the first time? Talking about the lyrics, I thought that because of the pandemic it became difficult to move around, and the thoughts have turned inwards. You told me [at t an interview] some years ago that you had some traumatic events, I thought [lyrics] relate to them.
京   In terms of the worldwiev and lyrics, recently there were no lyrics directed at one person, a lot of them had a message from a very broad perspective, that’s why first thing I wanted to do was to have a narrower worldview. So when I listened to the original song and the scene emerged [in my mind], the past songs videos are very broad. This isn’t a continuation but it was a start for me to want to put something like that together. It’s not about my own trauma, it’s a narrow worldview inside a big worldview. And without using grotesque expressions, I wanted to depict various feelings like love or hatred, and wrote lyrics with that in mind.
――The past songs you mentioned were also songs that had music videos made for them at the time. I was actually watching the video and having a flashback. The pain and agony of a woman, and I dare say her feelings about her aborted baby. That’s what gives a shape [to the new song]. At the moment is your expression or the direction of what you want to bring up in your lyrics changing?
京   I don’t mean it like we all should try being positive (thinking about the future) together, but as one should think about various things, I always want to write about what we think is the right path or what is just. But as I said before, what is right varies per person. It’s something I want to write about on the next album in the future.
――In other words, like stabbing/piercing each person’s feelings?
京   Well, yes. I think I’ve been thinking like that since the last album The Insulated World, but this time I’d like to go further into that direction... I mean it’s not like I have something precise I want to convey or I want to bring up this and that. The most important thing is that I want to be able to let out honestly what I want express, what I see, what I feel or think that very moment.
――As your age and work experience accumulate, I think people’s ideas and thinking will also change. What can you think of [that has changed] in the last few years?
京   Nothing (laughing). It’s not something you know about yourself. On the contrary I want to stay without changing. To change because the world is becoming a certain way is really not like me, I was always my own type of person, so I want to continue as I am. This is something I’m saying all the time, but I hate fixed ideas, I want to be always free to express myself. But there’s not much freedom in the world nowadays. Besides the problem with COVID-19, many countries have civil wars. That’s where we learn the importance of freedom again, and I also wondered if having a lot of freedom is not justice. When you start thinking like that it messes with your head, but I want to be free just in the world of expression. I feel like this is a one right no one can take away from me.
I think the most negative thing, for fans, for the band and for me, is not being able to show our real selves at the concerts.
――Are you taking that stance now as well when you’re writing for an album?
京   Nah, I haven’t written anything yet. We’re in the early stage of pre-production, so it’s not the point where I write lyrics yet. The songs are still in the middle of being changed, so it’s like I want to see more of them. Also, most songs don’t have a melody decided for them. And what I feel and think, what I want to express, things inside of me are changing every day. I want to be able to pack as current me as possible into [the lyrics], and to put into lyrics as recent images from the songs as possible, so I haven’t decided on them yet.
――Did you write the lyrics for ‘Oboro’ just before song-writing time as well?
京   Yeah. After the length/scale of the song is mostly decided in pre-production next is a step when I’m inserting temporary lyrics and then start recording.
――You have a [recording] vocal booth at home, so did you record ‘Oboro’ deciding the vocal direction by yourself?
京   If it was different, I probably wouldn’t be singing. I don’t want to go to a studio outside (laughing).
――Do you sing creating an environment for the song’s world like getting your room all dark when recording?
京   Nah, I’m a person who doesn’t do things like that, I can do it anywhere as long as I have a vocal booth. Just, I sing when I want to sing. When using a studio from what time and until what time is decided, engineers have their schedules, so even if I’m not happy with something and want to rerecord it, it takes time to get ‘let’s listen to it’ or ‘I’m gonna organize data’. And sometimes that timing doesn’t match my own rhythm. And, there are times when I want to sing soon after waking up or want to sing when I’m anguished not being able to sleep. I value this kind of speed so I can’t record outside my house anymore.
――In ‘Oboro’, even the trembling of your throat when your voice comes out got recorded, which helps the listener to get into the song even more. What were you looking for in terms of singing?
京   It’s a bit old-fashioned, isn’t it? In the past I was singing with my emotions so my mannerism/habits would really come out hard. After that I tried to get rid of them as much as possible, and as much as possible tried singing putting emphasis on the pitch and timing. For example, when the timing of each sound in first A melody and second A melody didn’t match perfectly, I would be unhappy, but now I just sing naturally so the timing can be a bit off. I deliberately sing with the feelings that were matching the flow of the song, so I don’t record with the intention of singing perfectly.
――You absolutely prioritise the emotions?
京   That’s right. But in case of ‘Oboro’, the lyrics don’t have a worldview where the emotions get stirred up to just burst out. They are hidden inside, I thought it would be interesting to sing in a restrained way without exploding. With that point, I recorded the song with the emphasis on the flow of the song. And I think I will keep that point the same when recording the album.
――There was a time when you were thinking like drawing a blueprint with many different voice tones and the arrangement of the choruses, it was interesting for you to play tricks with them, right?
京   There was a time when I pulled that out as a part of me, but now I want to pull other parts out. Increasing the things I can pull out, if I think the approach you just described is good, I just have to drag it all out. When I listen to the album as a whole, if I think there’s not enough appeal, I’d try a more gimmicky approach. In the end I won’t be satisfied with myself. I want to keep searching for more and more new ways, not only sing the way I’ve sung before.
――You had this kind of attitude from the start. As a coupling song for the single you have a customary self-remake song. This time it’s ‘TDFF’, to listen to the original song from the past again... ah, you don’t do it. I’m shaking my head for jumping into your answer (laughing).
京   I just briefly look at the old lyrics and decide I want to keep this part, I don’t need this part and so on. To some extend in myself I’ll just extract some part and from there extend the image and add things to it.
――Is it like breathing new life into a song?
京   Nah, it’s just the 2021 version. If we redid it now it’d look like this. We wanted to keep as many good parts as possible, but there were also parts where we felt ‘here it’d have been better to go with this’, so they got changed in the current version.
――By changing the song to a newest version can you see your attitude towards the singing or your thoughts?
京   I’m always putting in the things I’m feeling at that time, so I think to an extend I can see it. But it was originally a simple song, so it was easy.  
――It was also recorded in your vocal booth at your home, right? I think I’d actually like to have a peek at you singing to see what’s it like (laughing).
京   Ah, it’s a really simple booth about the size of the phone booth. There’s a small thing working as a desk and I put my computer there, singing while sitting down and using a hand-held mic. I don’t want to use a recording standard stand mic. I want to sing as much as possible the same way I sing at concerts. But there’s no space for me to stand up so I sing sitting down (laughing). But in my case, it doesn’t matter if I’m singing standing or sitting down or sleeping (laughing).
――It doesn’t really affect your concentration.
京   I usually can finish recording one song in less than 2 hours, so I think anyone can concentrate for about 2 hours (laughing).
――The 3rd song on the single is a live track. How do you feel about performing without the audience?
京   Honestly speaking the songs that require a response [from the fans] were a bit tiring, but there was no change with the songs focusing on the worldview or the songs that just explode. Doing it naturally is about doing it naturally. I haven’t listened to that live track yet, but yeah.
――But yeah (laughing). Did you choose the song that got the most votes?
京   Nah, I’m okay with any live track. Like ‘please choose whichever you want’, I leave it to the other members or the people in the company. Concert is a raw thing (=unedited, live), I had many live tracks in the past where my voice was all messed up or where I was singing cleanly. That’s why now I don’t have anything that would make me go ‘wait, this is a bit...’. I think the me from that time is packed there so anything is fine.
――You’re soon going to have a first in a while concert with the audience on May the 6th. I think you might answer ‘not at all’, but how are you approaching it?
京   Today I was at the concert film screening event in Osaka, and we talked there about the concert. And I said there that because it’s still a month away I don’t think about it (laughing). Listen, if you were told you will be having this and that for dinner in a month, you would listen with only half an ear being ‘yeah got it’ (=you’d forget it next moment) (laughing). I start thinking about it about a week before the concert. I’m not the type of person to go ‘I’ll do my best!’, I’ll just let out my honest feelings at the time.
――During the time when you didn’t have the type of space or time that is a performance with the audience, were there any moments when you started wondering ‘what are concerts?’ and so on?
京   No, there weren’t. There were moments when I felt like I’d like to do a show, but I didn’t really think about things like ‘why are we doing concerts?’ or ‘what are concerts for me?’. It’s not like all my music activities stopped, so I didn’t have a moment to think that deeply about it. If anything, rather than us I think it’s the fans who were thinking about it.
――Because for many people concerts are something they live for. Kyo, you’re looking healthy.
京   There were times when it was very hard for me mentally, I don’t know what was the reason. Now... I’m trying not to think too much about unnecessary things. I’m trying to only think about what’s in front of me or about things I’m able to do now, I’m trying not to push myself too much. I’m trying to accept myself as I naturally am. But even then, there are still things that keep piling up, making me worry endlessly. I wish I would be able to let them erupt at concerts. I think the most negative thing, for fans, for the band and for me, is not being able to show our real selves at the concerts.

Prompt: You walk up to Syverson holding mistletoe over your head... and it’s aaaaaaaall you’re “wearing”.
Tumblr media
Title: Mistletoe
Tumblr media
Sy wound his arms around your shoulders as you both made your way back to your cabin. You smiled up at the scruffy bearded hunk of your husband and snuggled closer to his body. The streets were covered in snow and the marketplace you were walking by was bustling with people enjoying the cold Swiss weather.
Doning thick jackets and carrying gift bags you had purchased, Sy and you were strolling in the snow, tired but not quite exhausted from your day's outing. Sy had planned this getaway in the Swiss Alps as he had needed someplace to relax, to forget the harshness of the desert he had endured. He wanted to commemorate his official retirement from the army by treating himself with some tranquility. Your birthday seemed like the best idea for him to take the chance of escaping to the mountains. "Double treat," he said when he had handed you the plane tickets to Switzerland.
After changing your wet, snow covered clothes and changing into fresh ones, Sy lit the fireplace to warm the cold wooden house. You lit a few candles you had bought from the market, the aroma of cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla filling the room and tickling your senses.
"Bought lots of stuff, eh bug?" Sy asked, looking through the bags.
"I didn't want to forget about anyone from the family." You placed a few candles on the dining table, lighting them and gently breathing in the aroma.
"Is that all though? We can sort them if you like." He offered, pulling the sweater over his head and standing only in his shirt and joggers.
"We'll sort them out later, honey." You walked up to him and wound your arms around his neck, feeling the hairs on the nape of his neck with your fingers. Sy had outgrown his buzz cut which you were grateful for because now you could twist your fingers in his curly hair in throes of passion. "Why don't you put them in the bedroom for now? And come back out here."
Sy raised his eyebrow at you. He placed his hands on your waist, the heat from his body warming you up. "Have you planned something, bug?"
You looked at him from below your lashes and cheekily smiled at him. "Maybe?" Going on your tiptoes, you kissed his lips and felt his beard scrape against your face.
"Okay," he drawled. Picking up the bags from near the door, Sy walked towards the bedroom with a wink in your direction.
As soon as he was in the other room, you pulled the soft blankets from behind the couch and laid them on the carpet. The fire crackled in the hearth as you added a few more logs and poked it with the prongs.
Striping out of your clothes, you fished out the mistletoe you had hidden in a box. You smiled to yourself thinking about the surprise you had planned for your sweet husband.
"Should I come out now?" Sy called out from the bedroom.
"Just a minute!" You switched off the lights, testing to see if the candles and the fire illuminated the room enough. As you blinked your eyes to adjust to the new environment, you walked to stand behind the door to hide. You called out to him and waited for him to reach the center of the room.
"Where did you go?" Sy could not hide the humor in his voice as he turned around to search for you. His smile fell as soon as he saw you walk out from your hiding place with the mistletoe above your head.
With hungry eyes, Sy let his gaze travel down your body as you slowly made your way towards your husband. You could already feel the wetness of your arousal beginning to tease at your core. It always took you by surprise that Sy's mere glances could make your pussy so wet.
As soon as you were within reach, Sy pulled you flush against his body. You could feel his hardening cock against your belly making you bite your lip in anticipation. He reached his hands down to your buttocks, squeezing them and in turn making you moan.
"I could have wrapped a bow on top of my head as a present." You said as you wound your arms around his neck. "Kiss me Captain, you are under the mistletoe."
A grin spread on his Sy's face as he hungrily placed a kiss on your lips. He sucked at your plump lips, moaning and pulling your hips closer to his. You threw the mistletoe, pulling Sy's head closer to your face. He lifted up your bottom and you obliged by hopping a little for him to carry your weight. Without even a grunt, Sy lifted you as you wound your legs around his wide hips and walked you towards the blanket near the fireplace.
He knelt down with you still in his arms and gently placed you on the soft fabric. You shivered as the cold blanket touched your naked body. Sy sat up on his knees and pulled his shirt off. You marveled at the vastness of his chest and the dark curly hair covering his skin. Your eyes followed the hair spreading down his stomach and disappearing below the waistband of his joggers. You could outline his straining cock against his pants, making you squirm as you felt the heat pooling between your thighs.
"You are so beautiful, bug." He looked at you with a smile from underneath his whiskers. Running a hand on the side of your thighs, he lowered his face to place kisses on your skin.
The warmth of his breath on your cold skin made goosebumps appear all over your body. Sy was slow and attentive to you while he took his time to kiss and lick your inner thighs, his beard grazing your sensitive skin as he made his way to your aching center. He reached up with his hand to cup your breast as his mouth taunted you and not quiet giving you the satisfaction of his mouth where you actually wanted them.
You moaned as he kissed the top of your mound, his beard tickling your clit as he moved to kiss further down. You reached to grasp his hair with one hand while you placed the other on his hand covering your breast. You urged him to squeeze your breast harder which he gratefully obliged.
"Please Sy," You pleaded, not able to control your need to feel his warm mouth over your trembling cunt.
"Don't beg, bug. I'm getting there." He chided. You felt his finger running over your folds, spreading your juices over your trembling pussy.
Sy placed a trail of kisses from your mound, moving slowly towards your clit. You threw your head back and closed your eyes and his warm breath washed over your aching folds. You bucked your hips up to meet his mouth, but he pushed them down with his hand.
A shuddering moan left your lips as Sy flicked his tongue over your sensitive nub. He sucked at your clit, pulling it with his lips making your bundle of nerves fire up like Christmas lights. You felt your toes curl as Sy slid his tongue down to your hole and gently plunged it inside. He groaned against your drenched pussy, the vibration along with the intrusion of his tongue causing you to tremble.
You felt a thick digit of his, tease at your entrance. With his mouth back on your clit, Sy entered your inviting cunt with his finger.
"Oh..." You felt your back arch.
"You like that, bug?" He asked against your clit. You looked down at him and felt him gazing up at you from between your legs. His cerulean eyes had darkened and the soft amber light from the fire made them shimmer like liquid.
You were a moaning mess as Sy continued his ministrations on you. With every lick of his tongue and pump from his finger, you felt the knot in your stomach twist. You knew you weren't going to last long. As Sy added another finger inside you, you nearly screamed with pleasure. Fisting the blanket in your hand, you tried to meet Sy's fingers with the buckling of your hips.
It only drove Sy to nip at your sensitive clit and add another finger, stretching you out. You moaned as Sy flicked his tongue faster with his fingers knuckle deep inside you, hooking them to rub against the sweet spot of ecstacy.
"Come for me, bug."
With a shuddering breath, your thighs closing in on Sy's head and your muscles trembling, you shouted out his name as you came hard against your husband's mouth. You could see stars behind your closed eyes, hear your pulse thumping in your ear and feel the warmth evaporating from your body. Sy lapped at your juices like it was elixir.
With heavy eyes you looked at your man. Sy sat up and brought his fingers to his mouth, sucking each digit dry while looking you in the eye. He smirked as he licked his lips and cleaned his beard with the back of his hand.
"Come here, Sy. I need you inside me." You whispered as the quietness of the Alps registered in your mind as your racing heart calmed down.
You watched as Sy stood up and pulled his joggers down. You bit your lip as his huge cock sprung out of it's restraints and hung heavily, thick and veiny. He grinned  when he saw you squirming for him.
Kneeling down again, he pulled you by your knees towards him. You laughed as your butt crashed into his thigh. You could taste yourself as Sy leaned down to place a kiss on your lips. You circled his neck with your arms as you felt him place the tip of his cock at your entrance.
Looking deep in his eyes, the one you had fallen in love with, you let out a shaky breath as Sy slowly entered you. Even after years of having sex, your body had never gotten used to his size. You dug your nails in his shoulders and heard him hiss with the pain, as gently he slid his entire length inside your warm cavern.
Taking a moment to let you adjust, Sy waited until you relaxed around him. You brought your legs up to his hip and wound them around his hip. Sy smiled at you, placed a kiss on your forehead before taking a hold of your thighs. You felt him pull out with only the head of his swollen cock inside you, before he plunged right back in.
Soon the cabin filled with the sound of your sweaty bodies slapping against each other. Your moans and his grunts echoed around the snow covered mountains. Sy kept his eyes open the whole time and watched you as you melted in his warmth. You felt his balls slapping against your ass and his pelvis digging in your clit as he moved in and out of you.
You dug your nails in his back as you felt the bundle of nerves knotting again. Sy dipped his head down to your neck and sucked at your skin. You felt him leave a heated mark on your neck and he soothed it with his tongue. The fire crackled loudly similar to your inner fire burning with the impending release.
"So close," Sy muttered against your neck. He laid half down on you and brought his arms under your back to hold your shoulders. It gave him a better grip for he thrusted inside you with vigour.
You repeated his name like a prayer, feeling like you were about to tumble down the peak of euphoria. With a scream, his name leaving your lips, your delicate core clenched around his cock. Sy didn't last long either. With a strong grip on your shoulder, he plummeted inside you a couple more times before you felt him shudder. A loud growl left his lips as you felt the warm sensation of his seed filling you.
You ran a hand up and down his back as he rode his high, emptying his essence deep within you. You heard him take slow shaky breaths and place a kiss on your collarbone.
You had no idea how much time had passed as you later laid in his embrace on the blanket. You had your head on his hairy chest, lazily running your fingers over his skin and through his dark hair. Sy was making invisible circles on your arms with his fingertips, his legs spread wide and one of yours placed over his.
The fire had died down and the candles had burned out. Only the lights from the Christmas tree in one corner of the living room provided illumination as you both basked in the afterglow of your love making.
"Bug," Sy whispered.
"Hmm?"
"It's midnight." He brought his hand up to look at his wristwatch. "Happy birthday, baby."
You felt warmth spreading over your body as Sy placed a kiss over the top of your head. You turned up your face to look at your loving husband. He smiled down as you, twirling your hair in his fingers. You slid up to his face and grabbed his chin to steal a kiss.
"Thank you. And I love you, Sy." You whispered, careful to not disturb the comforting silence enveloping you both.
"I love you too, bug."

Reaction to Circe by Madeline Miller
I love the style she uses to write a book like this is Circe sitting down and writing her story from beginning to end.
Hated her family, but I like how they are represented: gods that don’t really care.
Her siblings are aaaaaaaall horrible people.
I mean: Aeëtes, Circe raised you, have a little love, or better even respect.
Pasiphaë I can empathize on a certain level with, but not Perse and Aeëtes. Pasiphaë had to find a way to survive like every other woman with no power back then. She found away, it does not make me like her or make her a good person, but I do understand.
I am sad to have seen what he became though, he could have been so much better. He let the power get to his head and didn’t appreciate what he already had.
I didn't like her, but I am conflicted about whether she really deserves her faith because at the end of the day she ended up enjoying it and just becomes a monster. This makes me think: Circe could never make any of the animals she changed act differently which kind of means that Scylla was just always a monster inside that wanted to feast on flesh…
The fact that this act is the one that haunts her and defines a part of her story. The guilt always follows her and is used against her. It is fitting that part of the end of her story is killing Scylla. So, she doesn’t have to feel haunted anymore, there will be no more death.
Pasiphaë I know you need to survive and that's why you are a bitch, but Circe is not your enemy, in fact, at this point, she doesn't give a shit.
Her and Daedalus’ story is beautiful and other than Telemachus, he was one of the best of her romances, I wish she had gotten a couple more years with him. They were both prisoners that just wanted to be free from the power above.
Ariadne, I loved. She had such a compassionate and good soul I wish she had gotten a happy ending. I wish she had gotten to run away with her aunt Circe.
The golden cage analogy starts Circe into the journey to realizing she is still under her families' power.
Yeah, even I could see the kid was traumatized and wanted to get as far away from you as possible Medea.
Medea truly was Aeëtes’ daughter, she had his cruelty and arrogance, believing to know more than your immortal aunt when she has seen this before.
And Circe meets the real Aeëtes, the cruel monster that gets along with Perse. Circe telling her brother off was beautiful: “This is my island.”
Circe having her innocence over mortals broken that way breaks my heart. My poor baby…
They got what they deserved.
The haze and fog she lives in for years after is so heartbreaking. It brings me to tears to read and think about it. A part of her was taken and nothing is bringing that back.
I hate that because she was a woman living alone, she gets to experience that much of the cruelty of men.
When we start reading this story, we all pretty much think it will be about him and Circe’s love for him, but really, it’s about how the aftermath of him, it gives her Telegonus and in the end Penelope and Telemachus.
The fact that in the end, it is her son she will risk everything for is beautiful.
Circe's pregnancy, his birth, and even his childhood was waaaaaay too difficult to not have been influenced by someone trying very hard to kill him.
Athena, I have always had a hate/impressed relationship with, but she believes herself way too important and intelligent. And thinking she can just replace Telegonus with another son, Gods are terrible parents (other than Circe).
I love how Telegonus was a horrible child and grew up into a very good man.
I knew Circe not telling him the truth about how his father really was and who was after him was bad. You can’t raise kids in a bubble, their innocence will get shattered horribly.  But I can appreciate her just wanting to protect her son.
Telegonus is Circe’s son, he wants to go and explore and just live.
The point she makes about how Odysseus didn’t really try that hard to get home (cough seven years with Calypso cough) is very good and one I have always agreed with.
She wanted to believe that if she waited long enough than Athena would get bored and Odysseus would come back, but that was just the man he was, he wanted to be the Best of the Greeks.
I love how in the end Circe doesn’t end up with a hero, she ends up with a man that wants to be forgotten, that wants the life his father could not understand.
Him and his father were polar opposite, Telemachus did not see the need for masking his feelings, everything he felt was projected. He wanted a simple life because he saw what being a hero actually did.
Telegonus going with her I saw coming, he wants to experience the world. He has the best of Odysseus and Circe.
Telemachus believes in Circe, sees her a powerful goddess not because she is a goddess but because he grew up to understand women are equal to men.
They both just want to travel, be free and be happy, they don’t want to be heroes or to be remembered, they just want to live.
I really love their romance; how healthy it was and how it grew. She didn’t love him when he arrived, she wasn’t impressed by him, but she grew too.
