(Series Masterlist)

You sighed loudly as you stuck your earbuds in your ear. They were your old in-ear monitors turned headphones. You couldn’t believe you still used them… well, you couldn’t believe a lot of things. Like the fact that you only had two years of schooling left. One year until the wizarding world deemed you an adult and thrusted you into the real world after giving you one more safety net year of school. You couldn’t believe the fact that those final two years weren’t at Ilvermorny. You were on the Hogwarts Express. It was either Hogwarts or Beauxbatons since your mom moved to Belgium but you couldn’t speak French very well. Your mom tried to send an owl, bless her, before giving up and going with normal mail. Freshly changed into plain Hogwarts’ robes— not nearly as cute as Ilvermorny— you set down your cat and fell asleep in the compartment.

Fred, George, Lee, Angelina, and Alicia were looking for an empty compartment on the train or at least one with enough room for them. Five people didn’t exactly leave a lot of room for others. Angelina blamed Lee for being late to the platform and the reason that they were searching the whole train now. It was their last year doing this. The train, quidditch team, being in Gryffindor robes. Oh, and kicking Cedric’s ass in quidditch while playfully acting like they didn’t like the Hufflepuff head boy.

“Oh, what about this one?” Alicia pointed. “Only a girl and a cat.”

“And she’s asleep,” Lee added.

The five of them nodded and entered the compartment. Alicia sat down first without a care. Angelina and Fred— still dancing around if they were a couple or not— sat down across from you. That left Lee and George to take the bench that you were on. Lee carefully avoided sitting on your cat and George tried not to touch you with his knee as he sat down. They enjoyed each other’s company while you slept blissfully.

Your cat, Salem, got up before you did. He took a chance to meow at every new person in the compartment before jumping to the floor for his second round of napping. The train jostled and you went from leaning against the side of the compartment to slowly slumping over into George’s lap. The others started laughing hysterically at the fact that you didn’t wake up from it, didn’t even stir. The conversation switched from quidditch to the mystery girl in George’s lap.

“I wonder what year she’s in? Doesn’t look like a first year but there’s no color on her robes,” Lee said.

“Definitely not a first year. She’s got to be new,” Fred said. “Never seen her before.”

Angelina gasped as you turned over and they could see your face properly now. She pulled out her phone, quickly scrolling through her following list on Wizgram.

“LC. I can’t believe it, fuckin’ LC is going to Hogwarts.”

Lee shook his head. “LC? Ex member of Lemonade LC? Made two solo albums after leaving randomly and then a song saying she hated everything LC, no way.”

Alicia immediately grabbed the phone and soon it was passed around until all five of them confirmed that they were staring at LC from the girl group Lemonade. Well, now they knew where you were. It shook the entire wizarding world— worldwide— when you first left the group after the back to school album in fifth year. And then after two solo EPs with no explanation, you disappeared. The entire summer had gone by without a single post on Wizper or Wizgram from you. It was like you didn’t exist, that you had been some collective figment of everyone’s imagination.

The piano music had stopped playing in your headphones, causing the rumble of the train to be loud in your ear. You started to stretch before realizing your head wasn’t on the compartment side but something that felt a lot like a person. Quickly, you jumped up while muttering apologies. You look at Salem who provides no help other than to jump into the lap of the redhead that you had fallen asleep on. You grabbed your cat and gave everyone a wave.

Lee had no problem saying what they were all thinking. “Shouldn’t you be on a bus to Ilvermorny or something?”

You snorted. “We take the Amtrak from Horned Terminal like a normal wizard. School bus, ha. We’re not No-Majs.”

“No-Majs?” Alicia asked.

“Oh, right, um… muggle? That’s what y’all call them?”

They all just repeated your term ‘No-Maj’ with a bit of intrigue. Lee went back to his question. You scratched the top of Salem’s head.

“I just needed a change of scenery.”

“Can we ask why you left Lemonade?”

“Like I said, I just n—”

Your phone ringing cut you off. You picked it up and answered. The friendly voice of your manager, Jim, blasted through the phone. He was always so loud that you had to put him on speaker and spare your ear. Sometimes, you wished Jim would use patronuses instead of the phone so you could have better volume control. The conversation started normally like it always did. Small talk, Ilvermorny, more small talk. Finally, the question he always asked came up.

“Do you want to go back out there?”

“I don’t know,” you said with a shrug that he couldn’t see.

“I know it’s scary but the longer you put it off, the harder it is to get back out there.”

“My last performance they all showed up to the concert yelling mudblood until the entire crowd turned on me. I don’t know if I can do that again.”

“Alright,” Jim paused. “I’ll call you again next month, see how you’ve settled. There should be an owl coming for you in a few days. Have a good time, kid.”

“I’ll try.”

You hung up the phone and looked back at your train buddies. You shoved the phone into your bag.

“Life became hell at Ilvermorny after the article.”

“That your parents are muggles, who cares?” Alicia started. “Besides, your mom is T. Dylan. That’s awesome! My aunt has like three of her handbags.”

“I’m glad someone thinks it’s cool. I don’t know about Hogwarts but blood purity at Ilvermorny is practically a life or death sentence. Newmaj marks you an absolute loser.”

“Newmaj?”

“New magic, new to the magic world… no one ever said our names were creative. Anyway, all of Lemonade are purebloods. Jim and I knew to keep it hidden.”

Fred ran a hand through his hair. “That’s rubbish. You were the best in the group anyway.”

You laughed.

“Thank you but even I know that’s not true. Hailey’s stage name is AI for a reason, she’s a literal dance machine. Nola’s vocals couldn’t be beat… I’m not even sure how I made it into the group.”

Angelina dropped her head onto Fred’s shoulder. “Is that stressful? Ilvermorny’s dual track? I think I’d die if all I did was perform.”

You shrugged. “I mean if you want to be an entertainer in America, you take the Ilvermorny dual track. Every witch or wizard’s done it. It’s all I’ve known since first year.”

The train pulled into the station. You stuck to your train buddies as you got into a carriage. They tried to explain Hogwarts as best as they could while the carriages headed towards the castle. That was already the first change. Ilvermorny looked like all the fancy Ivy League No-Maj schools. Hogwarts was a literal castle. The five friends started guessing what House you’d be in.

“What was your House at Ilvermorny?” George asked.

“Pukwudgie… don’t laugh! Us Wudgies are the best House.”

That made them laugh harder. You rolled your eyes and let them make fun of the clearly superior Ilvermorny House. Everything had you in slight awe as you entered. Sparing you the awkwardness, McGonagall called you up first. Whispers already started going around. It didn’t phase you. You didn’t spend years in one of the biggest girl groups and not expect people to talk.

At the same time, you wished that they wouldn’t. Ilvermorny’s dual track was for those who knew that they weren’t taking a normal job in the wizarding world. They weren’t going to be herbologists or work in Magical Congress. They weren’t going to run wand shops or bakeries. Everyone on the dual track knew they were performers. Or working backstage— Charms class in Dual track had Fridays dedicated to safely performing fireworks or setting actors on literal fire. It also meant that you didn’t know anything but performing which was a problem because now that wasn’t your life anymore.

The counselor at Ilvermorny said it’s just an anxiety that you’ll eventually get over. She thought a year off at Hogwarts and then coming back to graduate and continue your path was going to be good for you. You wanted that too. Merlin, you’d give anything to be back on stage. Before the girls found out you were a Newmaj, they were your best friends. Lemonade did everything together. You all joined the cheer team together, moved into the same dorm, hung out at one member’s house every holiday. And in an instant, after that stupid article dug into your family life even though Jim had made that a forbidden topic since debut, they turned on you.

Ilvermorny tried to make it work. You guys were a group that got popular while still in school. They wanted you to stick it out. The album was already done for the opening of fifth year. Your vocals were already there. You guys had been practicing the dance routines already for the concert. And then the article. You were out of the group no matter how much the administration tried to push it. The girls wanted you out and it was announced that same week that you were leaving Lemonade.

The lie was that you injured yourself beyond belief and didn’t want to bring down the group now that you were at half the skill that you used to be— everyone wished you well and you’d be releasing a solo EP to make up to your fans. It worked for a bit and then your former members weren’t satisfied. They said the article wasn’t lying and the administration was covering your ass. Your first concert was your last when the music was drowned out by the yelling of mudblood over everything. And now you were lost as you sat underneath a hat yelling:

“Hufflepuff!”

Your train buddies seemed a bit dejected while one table was cheering wildly, already yelling how they got LC. You sat at a table littered in yellow. A boy stuck out a hand.

“Cedric Diggory, Head Boy.”

So, he was the year above you based on what Alicia said about how prefects worked at this school. You shook his hand.

“(Y/N) (L/N).”

“I know.”

“Right, Lemonade.”

“Well, yeah, that and Professor McGonagall just said your name.”

“… right.”

Not being LC from Lemonade was going to take a lot of getting used to. You realized that when you entered your dorm and, for the first time ever, you weren’t with your members. It was being alone and it felt weird.

“Well, this is your stop. If you don’t mind me asking,” Cedric started. “Single room? Not many people have them. I think Amar’s the only Hufflepuff who’s not a prefect that has one, medical stuff.”

“I have dorm anxiety… lots of anxiety if you were to ask Susan. Fifth year wasn’t the easiest. I’m just trying to start over if I can.”

“Does dorm anxiety extend to parties?”

“I don’t think so?”

“Perfect. Ravenclaw’s hosting the first one in the RoR, fifth year and up. Get changed and knock on my door when you’re ready to go.”

“RoR?” you asked.

“Room of Requirement. You know, you picked a good year to transfer. Harry stopped Voldemort and Hogwarts might actually have a fun year again. So, are you up for it?”

“I guess.”

You changed, gave Salem his nightly scratches, and knocked on Cedric’s door. He led you through the castle that had more stairs than you knew what to do with. And they moved. When you didn’t want them to. Your teachers back at Ilvermorny would have been appalled to find that out. All of your staircases were meant to help students get to class quicker, not make them late. These stairs also were jerky instead of moving with a smoothness. But the Room of Requirement was cool. You weren’t sure if Ilvermorny ever had that. If it did, none of Lemonade had ever discovered it.

At least one thing didn’t change. Whether in the US or the UK, a party was a party. Music playing, alcohol that wasn’t even being kept away from the fifth years, snacks, groups of students dancing, talking, playing dumb games. Yeah, at least that was the same. When your train buddies approached, Cedric felt comfortable to leave you so he could go to his girlfriend who briefly introduced herself as Cho Chang.

You were grateful that they kind of took you in. The problem with Lemonade was you five only had each other and the cheer team. It was hard to tell if everyone else wanted to be your friend because they wanted to be your friend or they wanted to say they got a picture with you.

You weren’t sure about your train buddies but aside from a few questions, they didn’t seem to care too much about knowing a girl group member. You were definitely getting stares from everyone else though. People couldn’t help themselves. Fred or George, you couldn’t tell them apart, shoved a cup of firewhiskey in your hand.

You had planned on nursing it the entire night but then a Lemonade song came on and you downed the cup before replacing it with another one. They took you to the rest of the train buddies sitting with some other people. You met the younger Weasley siblings and their friends.

Everyone chuckled as both you and Harry stared at each other, starstruck for different reasons. The British Wizarding War might not have affected you guys but everyone still knew who Harry Potter was. How couldn’t you?

Lemonade was his favorite group— Forest was his favorite member but you had always caught his eye. It felt weird to be seeing you in person. The one time he ever felt jealous of another wizarding school was when Ilvermorny the school year started late in fourth year so their Winter Ball was held the same time as Hogwarts’ special Yule Ball and Dumbledore said that Lemonade had to cancel. The Weird Sisters were still great but everyone had wanted to see the girl group.

“Is this what happens when two famous people are in the same room?” Seamus broke the staring match as everyone laughed.

“Sorry,” you said as you played with the rim of your cup. “I’m normally not starstruck. It’s just kind of crazy meeting the Harry Potter.”

“I mean you’re from Lemonade, everyone knows you.”

You chuckled. “Thanks but saving the world is infinitely cooler than dancing in high heels.”

At some point through the night, you felt your fake social skills that you put on for fans slowly slip away. The real you got comfortable enough to make an appearance. It helped that people tried to ask more about Ilvermorny than Lemonade.

When dumb games like Truth or Dare started, they didn’t bring up your members but other things. Your train buddies had spread the word to their circle of acquaintances about how you looked on the train when anything about it was brought up. The same wasn’t done outside the circle. You tried not to draw too much attention whenever you got up to get snacks or a drink because everyone wanted to talk to LC not (Y/N). You had dodged pictures although you knew that secret pictures were being taken.

You hadn’t made a single post since the fail of a concert. You were going to deactivate your account completely but Jim had convinced you to at least leave it up. You came back to the circle with drinks for you, a girl next to you named Ginny, and a boy on the other side of you named Neville. They said thanks and informed you of the stupid dares you had missed.

“(Y/N),” Ron said, it took you a minute to respond because you were so used to LC. “Truth or dare.”

“Truth.”

“That’s all you’ve picked all night,” Alicia piped up.

“PR,” you said simply. “Still used to watching my image.”

Ron just nodded and went back to thinking. “Is that one interview true? The one where Nola said you weren’t asked to the dance?”

“Yeah, I’m sorry but how did no one ask you? She’s lying about that.” Angelina pursed her lips while everyone nodded in agreement.

“Actually, she was telling the truth.”

“What?”

“Well, kind of. I did get asked by a few people but it was because everyone thought they had a chance now that I had been taken down a peg for being a Newmaj— muggleborn, Merlin, I’m not going to remember that stupid word.”

“Muggleborn is stupid but Newmaj isn’t?” Dean teased.

“Newmaj is definitely cooler. We sound badass.”

“As badass as Pukwudgie?”

“Will you all stop making fun of my old House!”

They all started laughing. “It’s Pukwudgie. Pukwudgie. How are you saying it with a straight face?”

“Literally shut up.”

“Literally,” Dean and Seamus tried to mimic your accent.

“I’ll hex you into next week.”

“Uh oh, Freddie. I think the Wudgie’s mad.”

“It appears so, Georgie.”

You pulled out your wand, making everyone stop to look at it.

“Woah,” George said. “That’s cool looking.”

“Thanks. Everyone loves a good Jonky.”

“Jonky?”

Hermione became interested in something she didn’t know. You handed her your wand. She started admiring the shine to it and the faint smell of fruit coming off of it.

“Yeah, Jonker’s Wands are some of the best in the US. Damn expensive too but pearl-infused wood isn’t easy to make so it’s worth it.”

“It smells nice,” Luna commented.

“Yeah, I got a pear tree. I always thought the lemon tree would have picked me but nope. Pear tree wood, unicorn hair core, ten inches, flexible. The Jonky J’s engraved right in the handle, it’s the real deal.”

She handed it back after admiring it some more. “That’s a brilliant wand.”

Angelina laid herself out over Fred’s lap. “Newmaj, No-maj, Jonky wands. America sounds cool.”

Cedric and Cho came over. You felt him tap on your head and looked up.

“Filch just passed Hufflepuff, best if we leave now before he goes back to our floor.”

All your friends got up. “That means he’ll be passing Gryffindor soon.”

The party began to clear out in rounds as everyone slowly left the Room of Requirement and tried to avoid getting busted being out past curfew. You and Cedric froze when you heard running on the staircase above you. He took a chance and looked up. Filch was chasing a different group of students. The boy grabbed your hand and quickly you two made your way back to your House before getting caught yourselves. You chuckled as you leaned against the wall adjacent to your room door.

“I haven’t done that in forever.”

“Really?” Cedric tilted his head.

“Yep, you can’t be hungover and perform. Late night rehearsals mean a lack of late night parties. We only get to do that maybe twice a year.”

“That doesn’t sound like much fun.”

“Well, my members used to be all the fun I ever needed.”

“We’re going to get you out more. From parties to quidditch matches. Welcome to Hogwarts.”

“Quidditch?”

“I’m going to act like you didn’t just ask me what quidditch was and go to bed. See you tomorrow. Try not to look hungover if you get Professor Lupin first, he notices everything.”

You said goodnight and retired to your own room. Jim would have lost his mind to find out how much firewhiskey you drank. At most, you all would have been allowed one cup for the whole night. You definitely had more than one cup. However, you looked a lot better than some other students.

Sleep deprivation from many late night dance practices meant that you already knew how to look like a functioning student even when running on empty. Cedric just shook his head as he handed you your schedule— it didn’t look like you had been to a party at all. He sat down next to you after doing his prefect duties, watching you mark up your schedule.

“What is that?”

“The most functional tool in your life. Say what you want about Newmajs, at least we know how to use a damn pen.”

“What’s wrong with quills?”

You huffed a laugh. “Everything.”

You shoved the pen into his hand and made him write on his own schedule so he could feel how smooth the pen wrote. Cedric just crinkled his nose, thinking it was weird. You weren’t surprised. Phones weren’t even a thing until five years ago. And even then, wizards only used it for Wizgram and Wizper. Text message? Send an owl. Call? Send a patronus. The only reason Jim even called you was because you were on a moving train and he didn’t feel like having his patronus running around the various compartments to find you.

Your phone got the most action because of your mother who was very grateful the wizarding world started adding a bit of muggle technology to their lives. She would much rather text you than try to work out owls. Although, she still did every now and then because that was a part of your world. The boy handed you the pen back.

You ate toast and listened to Dumbledore make important announcements, including a reminder about a deadly forest. You nearly choked because why would that even be on campus?

“And the schedules have been posted for Quidditch tryouts. Ravenclaw will be held next week Monday and Tuesday. Slytherin has the pitch after for Wednesday and Thursday. Hufflepuff gets Friday and Saturday. Gryffindor will finish the end with the following Monday and Tuesday.”

You turned to Cedric. “Two questions.”

“Two answers.”

“Again, quidditch? And when are cheer tryouts, he didn’t say.”

“One, literally the most popular sport. Two, cheer?”

Cedric showed you his team picture, turns out he was on the quidditch team.

“Oh! Quodpot. Yeah, I know that.”

“What the hell is quodpot?”

“Literally the most popular sport in the US. That’s right, I think I remember someone saying it’s the exact same but our quaffles explode and yours don’t?”

“They explode?”

“Yeah, makes the game so much fun. One year, Ted singed off his bangs because he caught the quaffle just as it exploded. It was great,” you said through laughter at the memory.

“Well, I don’t know how great that is but to answer your second question, there is no cheer team. I’ve always wondered about that. Do you all really cheer at every game? That’s such an American thing.”

“Yes, it’s really a thing. How is there not— this is unacceptable.”

“Where are you going?”

“Um, Professor Sprout, duh.”

Cedric watched you march up to the faculty table. You were also earning looks from everyone else. It wouldn’t die down for a few weeks but soon everyone would see (Y/N) and not LC. Until then, you accepted the eyes. You rocked once on the balls of your feet.

“Professor Sprout, we have a serious problem. I have just been informed that Hogwarts has a lack of cheer teams.”

The rest of the faculty tried not to laugh. Professor Sprout shared an amused look with McGonagall and Dumbledore.

“We do not have cheer teams, that is correct.”

You nodded.

“Well, school spirit is very important as we all know. And it’s been proven somewhere I’m sure that cheer teams increase spirit at quodpot— I mean quidditch— games by at least two hundred percent. I think we can all agree that spirit increases would make for a more enjoyable game.”

“They would.”

“Right, so can I start one for Hufflepuff? All we need is a sign up time. That’s it. I can handle the room and the outfits and everything else. I was in training to be Pukwudgie captain at Ilvermorny, I know what I’m doing.”

She looked at the other staff. “I think that’s a brilliant idea. Professor Dumbledore?”

“Do you need the quidditch pitch for try-outs?”

“No, sir. Just a classroom where we can put up mirrors. It’s not even a try-out, whoever wants to join can join.”

“None of the seventh floor classrooms are in use anymore, they should do.”

“Thank you.”

You marched back to the front of your table. All of Hufflepuff looked at you, the other tables getting silent as well. You put on a dazzling Lemonade smile.

“Hi, everyone! Cheer team for quidditch. It’s happening. No experience required, all you need is a love of cheer and dancing. Sign-ups are this Friday. Let’s go Puffs!”

Cedric snorted into his drink. You were slowly killing his image of LC from Lemonade. The longer he talked to you, the dorkier you got.

Is blogging still relevant in the age of TikToks and Instagram?

Recently, there has been a significant amount of debate on the internet about how short-form video content is overtaking blogs and long-form written contents. But if blogging is truly dead, why do people still write and buy books? Long-format material includes things like blogs and books. The only distinction is the format of delivery between a blog and a book.

I'm not one who reads blogs but yes, I do believe that blogging is still relevant as it has it's own specialty compared to social media platforms. Despite the wide usage of Tiktok and Instagram, according to Sanders (2022), roughly 409 million internet users read about 20 billion blog pages monthly. This is because people enjoy reading and exchanging conversations regarding various topics. Blogs also help to push and keep the conversations going. It is also estimated that 77% of internet users worldwide enjoy reading blogs (Sanders 2022). Blogs are frequently updated websites or web pages written in an informal or conversational tone, often operated by a person or small group. This platform is mainly used to share our personal lives, such as our experiences, hobbies or interests.

In fact, blogs are now becoming a crucial internet marketing tool for organizations as well as one of the most lucrative job options for people. As a result, 53% of marketers consider blogging to be their major content marketing technique. Furthermore, blogging has grown at a 12% annual rate over the previous five years (Sanders 2022). This clearly shows that blogs play an integral part in society. Although Tiktok and Instagram are well known for content creation, blogs are also capable of making content by adding new pages to the website. People still prefer long-format content, despite the delivery method's decreasing appeal. For instance, press releases and announcements in long-format must still be issued by businesses. A corporation cannot issue a press release and then broadcast a YouTube video. Videos from YouTube are not found in SEC filings (Nagaraj 2020). Let's not forget that the transmission of rapid news and updates by news organizations still relies on long-form content. In addition, blogs are also a great asset for Search Engine Optimisation (SEO). They can be used to introduce keywords that will attract the correct audience and aid with search engine optimization. Blogging can also help with brand awareness. In marketing, it is critical to establish a deep relationship with your target audience. Blogging is the greatest approach to engaging with them on a personal level. Another compelling reason to establish a blog is to improve your social media presence. A blog entry provides you with something to discuss and share with your peers and can be shared on other social media platforms such as Facebook, Tiktok, Instagram & Twitter.

In a nutshell, despite the various range of social media platforms today, blogs are still relevant in this day and age. The world needs a social networking platform for long-form content where users can like and comment on posts, discover different topics and people, follow their favourite long-form content creators, and create/read long-form material in a more engaging and enjoyable way – all in a single platform. Therefore, blogging is not dead and is a great asset in marketing, personal use or content creation. It may not be as 'modern' as Tiktok or Instagram, but it is clear that blogs come with many advantages.

The Place To Find Replica Burberry Bags Updated Oct

TWICE X M READER X TWICE -Let’s Fuck The Night Away~ (PART 1)

Hello everyone, my name is Ace Vorrentis.

I’m an author from Wattpad and due to a deletion of my smut book, I’m going to post my smut work on here along with two other books.

So here’s my first chapter of the smut book, expect every chapter to be uploaded in time.

This is going to be all the members and you and plus with themselves as well.

Just letting you know, it's mostly only going to be one round with each girl, so no multiple times with any girl, but I tried to make each member have a great writing scene and different as possible for each girl instead of the nine repeating the same action.

Some will have alone time with you, some will be pleasured by you and more.

I tried to get each girl their own section, if one girl is not enough, I apologize.

ENJOY!!

PART 2 HERE

=================================================

It was the last day of December and the time was nearing for the New Year was coming fast.

Hour by hour, Seoul had more lights appearing and more people celebrating.

Most it did was make you sigh and want to get home earlier.

The reason?

You had your girlfriends there waiting for you at home.

Yes...plural.

And they all happen to be the worldwide famous Kpop group Twice...

No, you aren't kidding, you're in a relationship with all of Twice.

Your luck was far better than most...okay all.

You had nine of the most beautiful women in the world all for yourself.

How? Well...

——————————————–

It's been five years since their debut.

Twice is still a group, but sadly their popularity is not as it used to be with new K-pop groups forming and breaking the k-pop world.

While they weren't as popular as before, they still were able to get some singles out that got them to be back for a short time, but a short time only.

There have been rumors about disbanding Twice due to that reason, but JYP and all Twice members disagreed about them breaking up anytime soon...only that was soon to be if they don't do something.

So to bump up their ratings and show that they can compete, they needed to do something big...that's where you came in.

You were an uprising MV director that managed music videos from the big names in the states. And each video that you worked on had major hits that caused an uprising in their popularity.

You were into writing; plots, short stories, scenarios that you imagined and brought into life with words and creativity.

You started off at some fan fiction site, called Watt Pad, writing stories for random romance scenarios. You were surging with followers rising each day.

Eventually, you were at the top of writers.

To your surprise, you got a message for one of your stories, it was chosen for a music video that was perfect for the lyrics an artist was doing.

You were hesitant as you thought it might have been a scam, I mean you were only 22 years old, why bother with someone so young.

But after delegating with the actual company, you agreed and they brought you over to help out with the video.

As soon as it was released, YouTube was all over it.

The artist had acknowledgment for their singing talent and managed to gain the surge to be invited into the music industries, but most of the praise came with the video creativity itself.

That was more than a year with you doing this. You've done 15 videos one for each month. And every one of them was a hit.

As JYP investigated your background, he liked the results and works that you have done. The best part, your age...okay that sounds bad, but he noticed that you were young, only 23, a perfect mix for the groups that were around that age anyway.

He called you himself right away.

You weren't a stranger to K-pop so when JYP called for you to come and help out him and Twice and maybe others under his label. You were shocked.

It took a bit of convincing...and money, but JYP had bought you out for JYP Entertainment for a session.

The rough thing was that you didn't know the language, but he didn't care about that as he instructed a translator to you.

You were paid of travel off towards them and there you met him along with Twice.

To their much surprise, you were young, they expected a grown man, but to see you were surprising to them.

You'll admit they were all very pretty and you were fanboying a bit when you met them, but you got into work with them quickly.

After a month of filming, writing and directing, the video was set to go...and it became their second biggest hit yet. The popularity was growing second by second, comments about the set, the video, the lyrics, the story, literally everything about it was getting fantastic positive reviews.

A celebration was in order and you and Twice hanged out for it, it didn't bother JYP since you were responsible, plus you were their age. If it was a grown man with them alone...well that was a no-no.

After that day, you'll admit, you were a bit sad now that it was done, but JYP offered to stay for one more...you accepted.

You helped them out in one music video...that led to another...then to another...

That was three years ago, now eight years after their debut Twice was still holding strong and even winning awards still to this day.

As for you, you were now part of the main team well your team now.

You were promoted after multiple jobs well done and stayed with them. It wasn't just Twice, but other groups under the label as well that you worked with, but Twice was your #1.

And as you stayed to be working here full time, and sometime between those three years, you and Twice got close...real close during productions.

Eventually, Twice learned and had a conversation amongst each other and well...they all liked you. You were the reason why they are still here performing plus other things as well.

So after much deliberation, they agreed to share. Their idea was that it was better than only one dating you and having the rest just watch and feel hurt.

After consulting with you privately, you wanted some time to think about this, while literally, any guy would agree instantly, you wanted to have really think about all this, which they accepted.

You'll admit, you liked them, all of them.

I mean how could you not, but you were supposed to work with them, not date them, but...throughout the years, they were starting to get to you, all of them, not one of them was favorable over the other to you.

And for them to like you back...all of them...

Dating one would be a dream, but dating all...you didn't know how this was going to affect their future...but one thing was for sure, you'll be damn if you let this opportunity go.

So the next day, you contacted, met and you agreed which ended up in rules such as sharing and timetables, but all in all it might turn out okay...if it was accepted.

So after the first day, the first person they talked to was their boss.

JYP was ironically okay with this...after a long talk with all the members he agreed as long as this doesn't mess with your jobs.

It couldn't be the same with some of their fans.

It took some time, but the negative responses were dying down, and eventually, they began to like Twice again...while the male audience hated your guts.

But can you blame them?

Since then you've been with them all and loved and hanged with each of them equally and vice versa.

And tonight, all ten were going to prove that.

Tonight is going to be a long night for you all.

To start the New Year off, they all decided to have a big night of fun for themselves.

You made sure constantly if they were okay with this and they said yes.

Their manager wasn't there for tonight since she was off celebrating with her family so everything was in check.

===================================

Now...on this night, after an emergency at work, you had your mind set like a steel trap on what's to come.

It was going to be...interesting.

Each girl had their own preferences when you were with them on occasions like these.

So as you drove towards their home, not dorm, home, they were bought a new home since they were all grown up and needed a new place to live rather than the small dorm they had.

So JYP found a bigger place to which they all lived now.

Your (color) eyes watched the light glow various colors as the fireworks were popping one at a time. It wasn't that late almost 9 PM.

As you drove up, you texted the girls that you were here and the gate in front of you opened.

You parked in the driveway and as you got out of your car, you heard the front door open suddenly, revealing Sana, only wearing a bathrobe, you can see her pink bra and panties as she didn't tie it up.

Looks like she was ready for tonight.

"(YN)!" Sana yelled as she jumped into your arms.

As she hugged you she made sure to push her breasts into your chest.

She looked up at your face.

"Hey, how you doing?" You asked as you smiled and gave Sana a kiss on her soft red lips. You watched as Sana smiled back and continued to hug you.

"Good. I'm actually quite excited for tonight...daddy~" Sana replied to you with a small whisper.

Yup...different personalities.

Sana was into being submissive under your touch so...yeah, she called you 'daddy' as you went hard on her during their nights together. Since then that was your pet name for you as you got hardcore on her.

Sana grabbed hold of your hand and brought it down as she began to rub it against her pussy that was still clothed by her panties.

As you felt your hand against Sana's slit, you could easily feel her wetness and how excited she was as you brought your mouth up to Sana's and began to quickly kiss her.

Your tongues swirled around each other's as they explored each other's mouths.

"Jesus you two can't even come into the house before starting..." Someone coughed as you Sana and you make out, "We don't want pictures of this all over the Internet." Jihyo sighed as she stood there watching you and Sana.

Jihyo was straightforward. She just wants a good night for both of you.

Jihyo was also wearing a red bathrobe, tied up though, as she tapped her foot, waiting for you.

"Love you too Jihyo." You chuckled as you towards Jihyo.

As you got to her you leaned in and captured the leader's lips quickly before she could even say another word.

Jihyo continued to stand there as she kissed you and let her hands roam around your body as they heard the door close from Sana.

One arm was hooked around your neck keeping you close to her and the other hand was roaming down towards where a bulge was in your pants.

Jihyo gave out a sexy moan as her hand went over the bulge and could feel something wanting to break free.

"See? Told you they would both be the first two." Another voice spoke out as you looked up at the stairs seeing Nayeon with her arms folded as she watched you and Jihyo make out. "So impatient."

She wasn't wearing a robe, as she showed off her body in sky blue undergarments.

She watched as Sana went behind you and purposefully pushed her breasts into your back.

"They really couldn't even wait a minute for him to come in," Chaeyoung said as she appeared and stood next to Nayeon and watched the scene play out below them. Same as Nayeon, she was wearing pure purple undergarments.

Chaeyoung was the timid one of the entire group. She would be the shyest one thus making their nights more passionate and slow.

Chaeyoung looked over and saw Nayeon pulling down her blue pair of panties. Right off the bat, she could see just how wet Nayeon was and how much she really desperately wanted this night to happen.

Chaeyoung's eyes then widened as she saw what her unnie did next.

"(YN)~ come get me~" Nayeon cooed as she sat down on the stairs a few steps down and spread her legs to give you the best sight of her dripping cunt as she unclipped her bra and showed her nude body to you.

Nayeon was the opposite of Chae, she'll get into it very quickly not afraid of showing off to you. As long as you pleasure her to the max, there were no issues.

You stood there as you broke your kiss with Jihyo and shook your head.

"Impatient aren't we Nayeon." You said as you began to walk towards the stairs.

"Can you blame me~" She said looking at you.

"Didn't you both just do it last week?" Another voice spoke up as Tzuyu came from upstairs in an indigo bathrobe.

Tzuyu was the opposite of herself when onstage or live. Rather than being the awkward and silent one, she was normally the naughty one in bed.

"Yeah...and?"

"And you already had your fun with him. What about the rest of us?"

"Oh I know (YN) isn't going to leave me out," She turned to you, "Right (YN)~"

"Of course." You whispered to Nayeon as you felt two hands grabbing hold of your belt and begin to unbuckle it.

You watched as Nayeon slowly undid your belt, work on your pants, and released what every girl there wants.

"Mmm~ already big and hard" Nayeon moaned aloud as she saw your cock.

She moved her body and brought her face up to it. Nayeon then opened her mouth...

...and started to deep throat your erection as the girls heard the moan of you.

"And we're impatient huh?" Sana complained as Jihyo shook her head.

No girls were fazed by this action, they each have done it multiple times with you already, some in duos and trios, so the scene in front didn't affect them.

Besides they were all going to be doing similar things tonight with you.

"Guess they didn't even make it to room." Dahyun sighed as she stepped out from the top as well and saw the sight in front of her, making the Maknae line complete.

Dahyun was like Tzuyu, the opposite of herself on stage. The crazy eagle loved being slow and passionate in bed.

You were standing on the stairs with Nayeon a few steps higher sucking away on your cock.

"Well, it's Nayeon so what you expect." Chaeyoung sighed as she looked back and saw Dahyun watching her unnie sucking you off.

Dahyun wore nothing but a pair of white panties that curved tightly around her butt and showed off how wet she was with the wet patch on the front of her.

"Seriously, why am I getting ganged up here. I don't like waiting you know." Nayeon said as she heard the words from Dahyun and Chaeyoung and looked over to them both.

"Yah! You called us impatient?!" Sana pointed as Nayeon didn't care and went back to her blowjob.

As Nayeon went at you, another girl made her move.

She arrived from downstairs this time and saw the erotic image in front of her. A small smile crossed her lips as she licked them and decided to go and play as well.

She walked up to where you were grunting and Nayeon was still sucking on you as she took the steps up and stopped right behind you. Then she released her pink bra with ease and wrapped her arms around you and pressed her soft breasts against your back.

"So it's already starting~" Momo whispered in your ear.

"Momo." You whispered as you turned around.

Momo wasn't afraid to try anything with you or the other girls. Whatever it was, she's no stranger to it.

She smirked as she brought your head in for a kiss as Nayeon used her tongue and rolled it against your tip.

"Why don't we all head to my room instead of staying here? There are others as well." Jihyo said loudly with Sana smirking.

You quickly placed a hand on Nayeon's head and pulled yourself away from her grasp and fix your pants back up. As soon as you did, you saw Nayeon pout but you made sure to change that.

"Hey," Nayeon said with annoyance as she felt herself get picked up into your strong arms.

"Aww~ isn't that cute," Momo said as you held her like a child.

Nayeon's face went red with embarrassment as she wrapped her legs around your waist, her arms around your neck, and her head in your torso.

"We're just going to move to a bed, okay." You explained to Nayeon with a quick smile as you began walking up the rest of the stairs and began walking towards her bedroom.

"Wait." Momo spoke up which caused everyone to look at her, "How long is manager-unnie gone?"

"About a week...Oh no no no no Momo." Jihyo spoke up, "We're not doing it in her room."

"It's the biggest room, plus she has the biggest bed," Momo spoke back.

"Yeah let's do it there," Nayeon spoke up as everyone else nodded.

"You three as well!?" Jihyo said pointing at the maknae line.

"It is cozy and spacious," Tzuyu said as the other two nodded.

"We'll just have to clean up really well after we're done." Sana reasoned.

"...fine," Jihyo stated as everyone cheered.

As soon as you started walking with Nayeon in your arms you heard the other three girls follow up the stairs and the maknae line heading to the room in front of you.

Quickly with the silence of anticipation in the air, you and the rest of the beautiful women all got into the master bedroom.

When they bought the house; they still had to pair amongst each other, but they didn't mind that; Sana and Mina, Momo and Jeongyeon, Nayeon and Jihyo, and the Maknae line shared amongst the three as they didn't mind sharing again.

Their manager had the master bedroom to herself.

The bed was white as clouds and soft as silk, the floor was carpeted with soft light brown carpet, the walls were a nice white color, and the women in the room were stripping their clothes.

"Mina and Jeong?" You asked.

"Getting food for our New Years' celebration, but they'll be here shortly. After all, we'll need the energy...you in particular." Jihyo answered. "Remember girls, once (YN) finishes in you, he moves to the next girl. Only fair for us to share equally." Jihyo said loudly as everyone nodded.

"Enough talk! (YN)! Let's get to it!" Nayeon yelled from your hands. "Just fuck me already~" You looked at Nayeon with an eager smile on her face.

"Impatient little devil, alright let's do this." You declared.

You placed Nayeon face-up on the bed, you were standing over her as Nayeon stayed lying down.

You then purposely had your cock lay on Nayeon's slit as you heard her moan and then looked back to watch your lovers strip the undergarments with the exception of Tzuyu who just took her robe off to reveal her already nude.

The maknae line, Momo, Jihyo, and Sana were all finishing undressing as the pairs of panties, bras, and robes began littering the floor. The only clothing on them was Tzuyu and Momo both of whom were wearing black stockings that pressed onto their thighs.

You licked your lips at the sight of their bodies, their drenched, trimmed pussies just aching for your filling.

You got in the nude as well.

"Well let's begin." You said as they all nodded. 'Hopefully, those pills work, cause it's gonna be a long one.'

Slowly you began to slide your erection into Nayeon. You could feel just how wet she was and just how badly she wanted you.

"Hmm~ Finally~ (YN)~" Nayeon whispered with a gasp coming out of her mouth.

Her eyes watched you carefully as she gripped her breasts and pushed them together. You were standing and were forced to look to the side as your lips connected to Sana's with her arms wrapped around your neck.

"You know you really shouldn't tease us like this, plus you have eight others waiting~" Sana whispered to you as she broke the kiss with a thin piece of salvia between their mouths.

She quickly licked her lips and took in the salvia and hummed to herself in satisfaction.

"Don't worry...I plan on going giving each one of you a good round." You replied as you gave her a smirk. She returned with a smirk of her own.

She leaned into your ear.

"I want the full force for me~" She added with a wink. You nodded at her.

"For the love of god hur-RY!" Nayeon began to whisper as her fingers pinched her nipples and suddenly screamed from another thing happening to her.

Sana started to play with Nayeon's clit as well as sucking on her nipple, she gnawed and twisted and pulled on the hardened nip while Nayeon brought her hand that was assisting her on top of Sana's head to go further.

The sight in front of you only made you go frenzied with lust as you pushed Nayeon's legs apart and began to thrust into her core.

Without even a word you went straight into her and felt her wet walls.

So soft, so tight, and so amazing was all you can describe it.

And soon it would be the same words with eight others.

You could feel the grip that it had on your erection and knew this was just one of many experiences you would be having tonight.

You then started pumping in and out of Nayeon.

Meanwhile, Jihyo was just standing and watching Nayeon getting fucked by you and teased by Sana. Her going first only made her core swell and wanted you even more.

She heard the gasps of Tzuyu eating Chaeyoung out in the corner of the room on a chair with Chaeyoung pinching her petite nipple with one hand and the other grasping Tzuyu's hair which caused Jihyo to softly rub her pussy as well.

She also spotted Dahyun and Momo making out with Dahyun on top of Momo, their breasts pressed together as their bodies and hands were tangled in heaping groans.

They were certainly no strangers to each other's bodies.

Five years before (YN), living with each other all while having the same needs...it was bound to happen, it's just a well-kept secret from everyone except (YN) whom they trust...since he found out soon after their private sessions.

She desired you now, but you were only just starting on Nayeon.

While she looked around the room to think of something to do while you began to work on Nayeon and got a perfect idea.

Jihyo quickly crawled up on the bed and got to Nayeon on her right side with Sana on the left. She saw that her eyes were closed and went in for it.

Just as her lips connected she heard a gasp from her and used that to her advantage as she pushed her warm tongue deep into Nayeon's mouth, twirling around with her Nayeon's tongue as Nayeon brought her left hand on top of Jihyo's head like Sana's.

Now both of the two unnies were making out with each other while you were splitting Nayeon open all the while Sana was still at Nayeon's breasts.

The tightness wrapped around your dick only made it worse, as you held Nayeon's legs far apart and pushed into her with a slip all you could feel was just how tight she was.

The walls, the wetness, and the feeling urged you to cum quick, but you needed to keep going or else you wouldn't hear the end of it from Nayeon.

"Fuck me harder!" Nayeon screamed as her lips separated from Jihyo's. She leaned and gasped as she felt your cock attacking at her womb with each thrust as she grasped the bed sheet with pleasure. "I know you can go harder (YN)! Abuse me!"

Jihyo then got off her and went to your side, enjoying the squirming Nayeon that had her face scrunched and Sana attacking her breasts.

Then she brought your head towards her and you both kissed and sloppily made out.

You were bringing her great pleasure and much to her dismay, she was getting closer to her orgasm.

Bliss...pleasure...just some of the so many emotions that her body was beginning to react.

Suddenly the tightness of Nayeon's sex grew even more as you felt yourself reaching your peak.

“Ara ara~ We’re close~" Sana whispered in Nayeon's ear as she saw you grunting and Nayeon moaning.

Her own pussy was leaking, as she so badly wanted to be in Nayeon's spot.

But she was patient enough to wait it out.

"(YN)...a-almost!"Nayeon suddenly yelled as you stopped with Jihyo to look into Nayeon's eyes.

"Mmm...you're going to cum in her, right?" Sana asked as she sat at the edge of the bed and looked straight at your dick thrusting into Nayeon's pussy. "Go ahead, we're all protected so fill her up~" She added, seeing the glint in your eyes and knew she was only pushing you closer to the edge.

Nayeon moaned again as she felt Sana warm tongue against her clit with your cock still knocking into her.

The combined feeling had pushed her... she was officially at her limit.

Her eyes were clenched shut as you suddenly slowed your thrust to a halt and felt everything squeeze around your dying erection.

Nayeon yelled out a sudden moan as she was forced to arch her back. She knew all eyes were on her as she felt the warmth of something gooey push into her womb.

"So...warm..." Nayeon sighed in bliss. "God I love you (YN)..."

As her heartbeat ran out of control and her breath was hard she felt you leave her.

"Love you too Nay." You returned as Nayeon gave a flashy smile.

"I’m jealous, the first load is always the biggest~" Sana giggled as she looked down and saw your spunk quickly drip out of Nayeon and leak onto the bed.

She licked her lips as she leaned down to have a taste.

"Mmm...while Sana cleans up Nayeon, let me help clean you up~" Jihyo whispered into your ear from behind you as she purposely dragged her breasts along your back until she got onto her knees and in front of your erection.

It was still covered in your and Nayeon's mixed juices. She quickly opened her mouth and started what she set out to do.

Heaven was what was happening.

The pleasure was surging everywhere in you and so many things were happening.

You watched Jihyo began work on your dick as Sana work on Nayeon's pussy. Nayeon was still gasping for air and trying to calm down. Chaeyoung and Tzuyu were done as they watched you while they were playing with themselves.

Momo and Dahyun were now kissing on the floor where they were with Dahyun straddling Momo.

"Fuck..." you grunted again as you felt Jihyo's warm mouth. Her soft wet tongue twirling around your erection was making your cock return to its length.

After a minute...

"Oh good...it's back." Jihyo giggled quietly as she let get of your erection and saw it once more standing up with its veins throbbing.

Now her lower half that she had been playing with was becoming quaky, you wanted to be in her, she wanted it in her.

"It's my turn~"Jihyo whispered into your ear.

Without even a gasp she felt you grab her and pull her up into your arms.

Now she was in your strong arms bridal style as you walked towards your own objective.

Jihyo's brown eyes glistened as she saw where you were going; the nice large chair where the maknae were, as they saw the two coming near, both Tzuyu and Chae moved for you two.

"Got to get comfortable." You told Jihyo as you turned around and sat down. You quickly moved Jihyo so she was straddling you, facing to you.

"Ohh (YN)~" Jihyo felt the warmth spread through her body as your skin touched her body.

What made her shiver was your cock sat in between her legs ready to pound into her.

"Just relax...I'll make you feel good." You whispered into Jihyo's ear as your breath rolled along her neck, you then left a warm kiss on her neck.

Slowly you put small butterfly kisses down her neck as you ran your hand along her warm thigh.

You whispered as you brought both of your hands onto her waist. With that, you pushed up into her.

Before she could mutter or say another word you slowly inserted your dick straight into her warm tight cunt.

A grunt escaped your mouth as you felt the walls of her wrap around your cock. Your ears could only hear the small mewls and gasps of Jihyo wiggling and struggling.

Your erection filled Jihyo's insides to the brim and made sure to keep her full.

The only reason you hadn't started to pump into her was that you were nice enough to wait for her to adjust.

Then from behind Jihyo, two of the J-line members came over to you. Looks like Sana wants to observe with you as Momo just came with her.

As both of the women arrived they licked their lips and sat right down in front of where you were sitting with Jihyo on your lap and riding you softly.

You sat up to begin licking Jihyo's earlobe tenderly and she panted lustfully at this.

She couldn't believe the levels of pleasure she was feeling and her lust for you rose as she gently palmed your face and softly kissed your lips.

Both of their tongues met lustfully as their lips kept in sync with one another.

The pair moaned into each other's mouths as your fingers started flicking Jihyo's erect tits and tweaking them and she mewled into the kiss as a result.

Both Japanese women were sitting in front of them watching the whole scene; they swung their hair back as they both began to lick their lips.

"Oh, come on (YN)...just fuck her already." Sana giggled as you let go of the kiss.

"Hmm...you're right." You replied to Sana with a huge grin on your face as you finally pushed Jihyo up and began your pumps. As they met for the first pound a meaty slap was heard as they both moaned.

After that small slaps could be heard as you kept pushing up on Jihyo to let yourself out of her and then used gravity to bring her back down with you inside of her.

Momo giggled as she saw the state of euphoria their leader was in. She watched Jihyo and looked back down to see Sana digging in.

It caused a blissful screech of pleasure as Jihyo sat there moaning each time as her breasts kept going up and down.

"Wait, turn her around." Momo asked as you slowed down enough to a halt.

"Wait...wh-" Jihyo was asking but was stopped as you forced her body to spin around with the assistance of Sana and Momo.

"Okay, go on." Momo said.

You then continued your pounding as you grabbed her waist and started to drill her making Jihyo just continue to moan.

"Ohh, great idea Momo." Sana pointed out as she leaned forward and ran her warm tongue along Jihyo's exposed pussy with you still deep in her. The thrusting didn't help keep Jihyo's body still, but she managed to get the taste of their leader and you.

Jihyo couldn't do anything but feel the sensation that you and the squirrel were giving her...suddenly she felt another sensation.

Momo began to stand up and her breath rolled down Jiho's bare body. Slowly she watched as her mouth got closer and closer to her perky large breasts that were bouncing up and down with you pounding into her.

Jihyo moaned as she felt Momo grabbed them hard and her warm mouth attach to her nipple.

She could feel tongue swirling around her nipple as moans escaped her mouth.

Her body was in total shut down as the three people were attacking her at once.

You were easily dominating her as she's sat there in your lap being pounded into, eaten out and sucked on. All she could do was sit there and feel the pleasure pulse through her body.

Then out of nowhere, someone's lips were on yours as you looked to see Tzuyu holding your face as she sucked your lips for entry. You opened them and her tongue instantly came into your mouth, exploring every space of it.

You then took one hand off of Jihyo's waist and inserted your fingers into Tzuyu's slit, going in and out quickly. Tzuyu groaned and moaned into your mouth as you felt her start humping into your fingers.

As you thrust into Jihyo by pushing up on her, Sana had her tongue attached to Jihyo's soaking slit, juices started to mix and leak from her entry.

The taste of you and Jihyo mixed juices was godly to her.

"Momo." She said as Momo looked at her.

Sana lapsed up a big lick and had some juice stuck in her mouth.

She then moved to Momo and they both kissed each other as Sana grabbed Momo and pushed the juice in her and smothered her tongue on Momo's.

They pulled away as saliva trailed from their lips as Momo licked her lips.

"Delicious." She said.

The erotic sight was too much for Jihyo.

"I-I c-can't...l-last!"Jihyo groaned as her pussy was gripping and getting tighter around you. Her body was tipping and her mind was seeing stars. She wanted to cum so badly, but she didn't want to.

She wanted more pleasure.

Jihyo moaned loudly again and again as she could hardly take any more.

"Oh god...fuck I'm going to cum..."Jihyo suddenly said aloud as her eyes opened wide in surprise.

She wouldn't be able cum with you, it was far too early for you, and you had the stamina to keep going at it.

You let go of Tzuyu's session and held back onto Jihyo and pounded her quickly. You were coming close as well and decided to focus on Jihyo.

"Wait...almost...th-there." You groaned.

Jihyo huffs and puffs were getting erratic as she tried her best to hold on, but you were getting close and close as you felt sensation from your lower half.

"Jihyo go...for it." You grunted.

As soon as your voice was heard, she screamed.

"(YN)!" Jihyo screamed as her pussy clamped down onto you with ultimate amounts of pleasure as her orgasm came, luckily Sana was there to help with the leaking mix as it came out of Jihyo's cavern.

You also came into her as you pushed one last deep thrust into her sending another wave of cum into her.

Jihyo's body felt weak and collapsed backward onto your torso.

"That...was...amazing...I love you...(YN)..." Jihyo muttered while cuddling against you.

You kissed her on the top of her head.

"Love you too Ji..."

Momo stopped, but Sana kept licking until there was no more.

She finally stopped leaking according to Sana, as she was taken off your erection and pulled up into your arms again.

You walked over to the bed and laid Jihyo down, next to Nayeon who was just looking up at the ceiling, as she gasped for breath.

You were also getting some air back, but your erection still stood high.

Suddenly someone grabbed your cock as you turned to see Tzuyu.

"Your fingers were good, but now I want this~" She emphasized by tugging your cock.

"Heh, then tell me how badly you want me to fuck you~" You smirked with Tzuyu repeating the notion.

"I want you to break me." She whispered in a hot breath in your ear.

Tzuyu was a choice of few words type of girl and quiet out in public, but she had wild side of her when the doors are shut and you with her. Your first time with her was surprising with her in bed but you enjoyed it nevertheless.

"Oh don't you worry, you can start by going on all fours on the bed. Show me how wet you are my little slut."

Already, Tzuyu knew what you had in mind and nodded. She removed herself from your cock, which looked ready to burst and went down on her hands and knees.

She looked back with her innocent face expression as she toyed her wet pussy to you.

"Yes. Exactly like that." You grabbed her ass to see how they felt and it felt very nice and firm.

You loved what she saw and feel. Including how Tzuyu's ass looked raised up.

Your hands went to Tzuyu's hips while lining up your cock toward Tzuyu's pussy and thrust the whole thing in wasting no time.

Tzuyu gasped as you started to thrust in and out of the savage of Twice.

"Oh, fucking god yes! Fuck my pussy from behind!" You were all too glad to follow that up.

You went in as far as you could inside her body as you could as you pulled back out only to slam into her again. Tzuyu loved how forceful you were in fucking her.

It felt amazing to her and encouraged it.

"Harder! Fuck my pussy harder! It's yours, it's all yours just... HARDER!"

You started to slam your shaft as hard as you could in and out quickly to please her.

You were achieving it quite easily considering the wild moans Tzuyu was giving off. You leaned in while screwing the girl as your hands slid toward Tzuyu's breasts and grabbed them hard.

"Yes! Fondle my tits while fucking me! My body is yours!"

You decided to play Tzuyu's game as she was getting into it too much.

"You feel so good, Tzuyu! Your pussy feels so hot and tight! I love how you're taking my cock so well!" You raised Tzuyu's torso along with yours up until they both up kneeling on their knees with your chest pressed against Tzuyu's back and started to fuck her mad like a piston.

"Mold my pussy (YN)! Mold it to your hard cock!"

Tzuyu's mind was lost to lust as she couldn't think of anything else but the guy who was fucking her.

All she could feel was how roughly you were fondling her breasts, the slamming of your dick into her.

"Tzuyu...look at me."

The savage turned her head around only for you to crash your lips against hers and insert your tongue into the other girl's mouth.

Tzuyu couldn't resist and let you dominate her mouth.

Their moaning was stifled by the kiss.

You were fucking Tzuyu from behind while grabbing her breasts and kissing her. It was absolutely perfect for her.

And to the others, as the sight was making them feel hornier.

Then you pulled her down on the bed, still behind her as you laid behind in a spooning position and you forced her to arched her leg into the air with your right arm and began to fuck her again.

Tzuyu moaned loudly into your mouth, as they were still into the kiss, and her body rocked back and forth as you started pummeling deep in into her pussy.

"Yes, ruin me! Take me (YN)!" She roared out as she broke the kiss as you focused on fucking her.

You moaned at the pleasant feeling of her warm and tight innards enveloping you while she moaned from how big you were inside of her, becoming rougher in pounding Tzuyu and her breathing became deep.

You could feel something building up inside of you and realized that it may be almost time to come.

All the feeling did was make you fuck Tzuyu furiously as possible before it was too late.

You were close to her peak as was Tzuyu but neither wanted this to stop.

They wanted to continue this for as long as possible.

Sadly, all good things had to come to an end.

Without warning, you stopped and came inside Tzuyu straight into her womb.

At the same time, Tzuyu came and clenched even tighter than before around your rod.

She could feel the warmth of you deep within her and filling her up.

They both stayed in position reveling in their climax together.

After it had passed, they broke the kiss and you removed yourself from Tzuyu with what semen was left over began to leak out of the brunette's pussy.

"Wow (YN)...that was...I love you..." Tzuyu managed to say to you before she gently fell down on the bed, enjoying the sensation that you gave her.

"L-love you too Tzu..." You muttered stroking her cheek.

"Ohh...looks like someone needs cleaning up~ Dahyun care to share?" Momo spoke up as Dahyun came over instantly and both started to work on Tzuyu's slit.

You got back off the bed and saw the scene of Momo and Dahyun feasting on Tzuyu.

Then your vision became black...not from the fatigue, but...

"Guess who?" Suddenly a small sweet voice asked as two small soft hands covered your eyes.

You smiled as you figured the voice immediately.

"I’m guessing Chae?" You said as you pulled her soft hands away from her eyes and looked behind.

“You’re right~”

Now in front of you was the cub of the group with a smile on her face.

Without a moment's notice, Chaeyoung leaned in and captured your lips.

As you both made out with their tongues swirling around each other she moaned out in your mouth. Without realizing it, she began to walk backward towards the room's white walls as you gently pushed her against it.

When they arrived, you sandwiched her between it and yourself as your cock now sat between her legs and teased where it wanted to go.

Chaeyoung whimpered as she shifted her body and ran her lips along your shaft. She could feel the pleasure course through her body and it wasn't even inside yet.

You then decided to let the kiss go and go down and kiss her neck, Chaeyoung gave you a bit more room as she leaned her head to give you more access.

Your hand slid up her front to brush her hair aside, brushing the soft, dark hair away from her smooth shoulders as you sucked on her neck.

You kneeled down further as you gave her butterfly kisses downwards till you stopped at her breasts as you gave each nipple a sensual lick to which the made cub shuddered.

You disappointed her by going down further as you gave pecks on her slim tummy.

You kept going downwards till you were at your destination, Chaeyoung kept her body in check so the sight of her clearly wet, shaved slit was intoxicating to you.

You leaned forward and gave one long lick up as Chaeyoung's body struggled to keep still.

Then you started to feast on her pussy.

Chaeyoung's breathing was uncontrollable as she held your air as you licked her up big time. Then you really got in there as you brought her legs upward and over your shoulders and pushed your head deep in her.

Chaeyoung's legs were now over her shoulders as she used you and the wall for support as you kept licking her out and even playing with her clit with your fingers.

She was gasping at the sensation as she smiled at the air as her eyes were shut, then out of nowhere, she felt a lick on her neck as she opened and saw Nayeon sucking her neck where you were just doing.

She then pulled back and gave Chaeyoung an alluring glare and went straight to her nipples.

She twisted and turned one as she sucked the other.

Chayoung couldn't hold out much longer from the assault and just let it go, squirting her orgasm out and over your face, you tried to drink as much, but Chae had produced too much for you.

After she felt calm enough, gently pulled her legs off and down on the carpet, as you stood up, face drenched in Chaeyoung's love juices.

"Let me help~" Nayeon said as she licked every part of your face clean, drinking in the leftovers of Chaeyoung.

But then she took one last lick of cum of you and you saw it dripping off her tongue as she turned and kissed Chaeyoung, and depositing it into her welcoming mouth.

Surprised at the action, but didn't hither her as Chaeyoung took it all and swallowed her own cum.

The sight was a warm sight to you...thank fucking god you stayed here.

Nayeon then pulled away with a pop and looked at you.

"Carry on." She said as she moved a bit away.

"Ready my little cub?" You asked as your hands began traveling; one going down her side to her waist and the other on its way to her thigh.

Chaeyoung nodded to you as a smile graced her lips. With that, she didn't need to wait for even a second as she felt something hard press along her lips and push in.

A gasp escaped her luscious lips as she was spread open and felt herself being filled up and stretched out.

Her dark eyes, watched your (Color) eyes as she saw them with the intense determination that honestly made her wetter down there.

The first pump made her body be in bliss, the ones after brought her to a moan and release yells of your name.

"(YN)..." Chaeyoung softly moaned out as she felt you pull out of her and pushed into her without hesitation.

Her tight walls were heaven; pump after pump made you grunt more than ever.

You wanted to just go in and out of her but knew you needed to take your time with Chae. With your moments with her before, she preferred slow and delicate.

DDDIIIINNNGGG

Everyone except you and Chae heard the bell on the door downstairs. Chea's mind didn't care about anything but what you were doing to her.

You was still going in and out of her as she was pressed between the hard wall and you.

Gasps once more escaped her lips as you left gentle kisses down her neck towards her bouncing breasts.

"Ugh... I'll go open the gate." Sana sighed as she heard the knocking downstairs. She quickly grabbed a robe that was discarded and headed to the door.

She looked over and saw you pounding the cub as she was stuck between the wall and you.

Sana giggled as she watched and went to open for the two missing members.

"Oh..." Chaeyoung gasped as her vision was having issues, the blurriness was overcoming her, and her pussy was pulsing.

Chaeyoung once more let a moan escape and began to arch her back as she stood there being thoroughly fucked.

Your hips were going faster you kept on knocking into Chaeyoung with a slap of their skin meeting together.

You could feel Chaeyoung beginning to shake under you as she leaned farther back and how tight she was becoming. They were staring into each other's eyes, panting and groaning.

There was no going back as you felt the familiar feeling of you.

The bliss, the pleasure, and the satisfaction were beyond godly.

Her tight walls wrapped around your cock was now making you tip between your edge and exploding inside of her.

"(YN)...please." Chaeyoung whispered as she looked straight into your (Color) eyes with her glistening ones.

Who were you to deny her?

Her ears perked up as she heard the grunts from you and began to suddenly feel your cock beginning to expand upon its near release.

Her body began to go crazy and she suddenly lost any control and submitted to you. Chaeyoung began to moan loudly as she felt her body getting ready to have your seed.

"Inside!" She yelled.

As her word finished, your eyes flashed and it was as if that was all it needed to trigger.

Suddenly you felt the amazing stirring feeling and pushed into her one more time before you stopped yourself.

With that, you could feel Chaeyoung tightly wrap around you and feel as you pumped everything you had into her.

You didn't hold back, you only grunted as your tip hit Chaeyoung's womb and began to push every ounce of your seed deep into her.

The warmth began to spread through her body as she arched her back the best she could against the smooth wall behind her.

Her eyes were heavily closing as she held your erection inside of her. She wanted everything you had inside of her, she wanted to be closer, and be one with you.

"(YN)..." Chaeyoung whispered once more as she leaned forward onto you. Her perky breasts were between your chest and herself as she leaned her head against your shoulder.

"(YN)...I love you..." She spoke as her eyes began to shut.

"Love you too my little Chae..." you returned.

Tired was the only word coming it her mind as a smile of pure happiness was on her face.

"Heh, it seems we got good timing. And in the manager's room as well. Naughty."

You looked over at the door as you held the leaning Chaeyoung in your arms.

Jeongyeon and Mina were underneath the doorframe with Sana behind them.

"We brought food, it's on th-"

And just like that Momo walked passed them.

"-table." Mina finished.

"Hey...you...two." You said to the two members between each breath.

With that, you scooped Chaeyoung up into your arms and began to walk towards the bed to let her rest and recover. You could hear her breath coming from her mouth and nostrils.

"Wow seems she got a lot as well~" Nayeon told you as she crawled over to the bed and laid down next to Chaeyoung, she traced her slit as Chae shuddered a bit and scooped up the cum that was still leaking from her and inserted it into her mouth and then moved Chaeyoung’s chin.

“Open wide Chae~” Nayeon kissed Chaeyoung as the younger one returned the kiss, swapping the cum and saliva from each. While keeping up with the make out, Nayeon hovered over Chaeyoung as she pressed her pussy over Chaeyoung’s who wrapped her arms around Nayeon’s neck as Nayeon started to grind in place, causing both to groan together.

"Must have been good, hopefully, I can get some of it~"Jeongyeon whispered as she walked over to you with a sway of her hips.

Along the way, she took her sweater off, showcasing her skin tight/see through shirt and bra..

And quickly her shirt and bra in lightning speed as she was daring to go.

Jeongyeon was a mix between Nayeon and Chaeyoung, she's not shy enough to not start flirting and getting into it, but just want's to be close to you all the time.

"Don't forget about me~" Mina said approaching you as well.

Mina is a mix of everyone, rough, soft, one on one, groups, she didn't really care long as you were there with her.

"And leave you two out? Never. But you'll have to wait." You instructed as Jeongyeon stopped in front of you, pouting, but then you felt Jeongyeon's soft hand grab hold of your erection and slowly begin to rub it.

"So about halfway there then~ So who's next? If someone isn't going, I'm taking (YN) now." Jeongyeon announced while moving her hand back and forth as she looked over at the three other remaining women who hadn't been done yet.

"Well, I co-" Sana began to say as she quickly smiled and tried to be next but sadly you interrupted her words.

"Seems Dahyun's already in a good position." You spoke, looking over at Dahyun and saw her sitting with her legs spread on the chair you had fucked Jihyo on.

"Sorry Sana." You said as she pouted.

"Ugh...Mina, get on the bed." Sana ordered her as Mina after she took her clothes off and lavender underwear, laid down for Sana to hover over Mina’s face to eat her pussy out.

Momo came back quickly with some fruit in her hands as she saw the shaven cunt of Mina. She then ate all the contents of the food in her hands as she came towards and started to eat Mina out.

“Oh Jeong~” Jihyo called Jeongyeon out as she laid on the floor, “I’m feeling a bit hungry~” She spoke as Jeongyeon got the message and proceeded to kneel beside Jihyo, turning herself around, hovering her leg over Jihyo’s head and started having a sixty-nine course meal with the leader of Twice.

You looked at the erotic sight of each girl pleasuring each other and you were aching at that point.

"May I join~" Tzuyu muttered, sitting near Nayeon and Chaeyoung as the two stopped kissing and Nayeon smirked.

“Course you can,” Nayeon moved to the side as Tzuyu laid on top of Chaeyoung as well. She flipped her hair to the side and pressed her lips on Chaeyoung’s as Nayeon leaned down to with the three now engaging in a three way kiss.

Dahyun's fingers entering her lower lips as you smirked at how wet she was as you walked towards her.

"You gonna fuck me good (YN)~" Dahyun whispered so low that it sounded like a purr.

She practically moaned as she kept playing with herself as you stood over her and looked down at her body.

“And here I thought you were suppose to be a good girl?” You grinned as Dahyun smirked.

“I haven’t, I’ve been a bad girl~ Maybe you should punish me~” Dahyun muttered.

With that, she felt your strong hand grab hold of her breast and began to squeeze and play with it. Her brown eyes traveled down your body as she looked at your body and the monster between your legs...she was happy.

Your erection stood tall as you leaned down slightly and suddenly prompted yourself over her with your hands holding yourself with the arms of the large chair.

Your erection brushed against Dahyun's already wet pussy. Your lips connected to her as she quickly allowed your tongue access to her mouth.

Slowly with a moan, she felt your hard cock push slightly into her and began to open her up. They were now one as they moaned and you pumped straight into her.

Her eyes widened even further as you hit her womb but she quickly closed her eyes once more.

Her hair was a mess and her body was reacting to your thrust and power.

Your erection was filling her full, no space was untaken.

Your tongues danced as you thrust in and out of her, not a second was wasted as they stayed connected and the blissful pleasure coursed in their body.

Having you in her made her body ache with tension and lust. She couldn't control her hands as they wrapped around your back and arched her back.

Dahyun had her breasts smothered against your chest and the slapping sound was heard all over the room.

With each slap, their privates met and pulled away from each other only to be repeated again and again, to gain the pleasure they both oh so loved.

"(YN) wait..." Dahyun gasped once more as she stopped their kiss and gasped for some air.

"Sorry, was I hurting you?" You asked.

Dahyun smiled at your concern.

"Just the opposite~ I want to re-adjust myself."

Dahyun lifted herself off of you as she got up.

"Hold me up (YN)~" You understood what she meant and you grabbed her and lifted her up. Her hands wrapped around your neck and legs around your waist. You then guided your cock into her snatch once more.

As they connected again, her body was aching with happiness and pleasure as she was now riding down as you thrust upward while both kissed.

Sadly it wasn't long since they had already started for a bit.

“God you so big~ Hmm fuck me till I’m raw (YN)~”

Having her tight pussy wrapped around your cock made things heaven for you for the fifth time now.

You thrust again into Dahyun as you grunted aloud. Each grunt you made, you knew you were getting closer and closer to your orgasm again.

Slowly, but surely you were almost ready to fill her.

"Keep...going!" Dahyun moaned aloud.

Her body was begging to move on its own as she tried to get into a position that helped her receive even more pleasure. Because of that, her limit kept getting closer and closer.

"(YN)!" Dahyun screamed as her nails dug straight into your back as she curled up, arching her back away from you.

The pleasure kept coursing and the heavenly walls became even tighter.

Without warning, you stopped and came inside Dahyun straight into her womb. At the same time, Dahyun came and clenched even tighter than before around your rod.

She could feel the warmth of her lover deep within her and filling her up to the brim, making her shutter.

They both stayed in position reveling in their climax together.

"Hmmm...you're so warm (YN)...I love you..." She pecked you on the lips as you returned it.

"L-love you (huff) too Dahyun..." You returned as she smiled with joy.

As you finished and thought it was enough, you saw Dahyun's grin and her eyes slightly closed.

You then gently placed her on the seat as Dahyun just leaned back against the chair and just sat there looking up at the ceiling, feeling your warmth inside of her as she goofily smiled at your job well done.

You were now starting to feel the tiredness of your body as you went through five of the Twice idols already.

'Just...four more.' You thought to yourself as you swiped the sweat off your forehead.

=================================

And that’s part 1 of 2, hopefully I’ll upload the next one in the next few hours, till then...

Dystopian Larry Fic Rec

Inspired by some of the lovely people and fic recers on here, I’ve decided to start making my own fic recs. If you’d like, you can request recs in my inbox and I’ll see what I can do <3!

Please read the ratings and tags to these fics (because some of them are dark or have dark themes) and enjoy!

You Try To Be Everything (I Need) by lululawrence - @lululawrence (NR, 36k)

Wars, and rumours of wars, were nothing new for the world in the twenty-fourth century. The fighting had evolved over the years, and rarely did it involve traditional weapons. A group most widely known as the Southern Powers gained strength amongst portions of the western European continent and spread quickly. There was a fight the Southern Powers didn’t expect coming from the north of England, though. Resistance came in the form of an organised underground; a group comprised of people with the Touch that did the best they could to enforce a line that would not be crossed. Slowly, that line was moved from the Channel to boundaries further and further north. It seemed only a matter of time before the Southern Powers took over everywhere. Until that time, people did the best they could to live their lives in some semblance of normality. For Louis Tomlinson, that sense of normality was about to change when his best friend, Harry Styles, goes missing. Louis embarks on the journey of a lifetime where he uses his newly developed abilities to search for his friend, even when it takes him to places he never thought he would see while surmounting trials he never could have imagined. -

I loved the way the magic and technology in this fic intersected in such a unique way and the way the world was built was extraordinary!

red hands by reveries_passions - @dystopianharry (T, 132k)

I’ve never told anyone,” Harry murmurs, voice so soft no one else would be able to hear, if it wasn’t just the two of them. “But you’ve told someone,” Louis says firmly. “And that’s not gonna fucking happen around here. You don’t speak a word of it, or someone’s going to kill you, and we can’t let that happen.” * a dystopian au in which harry, an ex-soldier who’s escaped from his government run camp, accidentally stumbles across the biggest rebel movement in the country, and louis, one of the rebellion’s mysterious leaders who appears to hate him, seems to simultaneously have an obsession with keeping him alive. or: harry is wanted for treason, niall hasn’t changed in four years, liam is always smiling, and louis is angry. like, really angry.

- The plot of this is just *chef’s kiss* in so many ways! I love the way the characters interact with each other and I’m weak for Niall and Harry’s friendship in this.

Love After the End of the World by writing_practice - @mercurial-madhouse (E 158k)

“Wait. Just so I’m clear in me fucking noggin,” Niall says. “An international worldwide takeover is well under way and the only thing standing between having hot showers and a second end of the world is us five fuckers?” ----- Society shattered when all electricity suddenly cut off across the globe, plunging the world into darkness. Now, Prometheus Industries is the sole remaining supply of power, a saving grace to those who survived Lights Out. As fugitives in no-man’s land struggling to break into Prometheus HQ, death lurks around every corner for Louis and Zayn. Things get complicated when a routine recon falls apart and Louis collides with Harry and his mates Niall and Liam, survivors with their own agenda. When staying alive is already a constant battle, the deadliest weakness is to be in love. For Harry and Louis, finding each other sits on top of the endless list of What Else Could Go Wrong.

This just came out in the most recent Big Bang (that’s still on going so you should definitely check that out) and this fic is so amazing! I think it does a great job of just really immersing you in the world the characters exist in. Love After the End of the World is also a Soulmate AU and I love the way those parts come together. It also has an amazing prologue called PROMETHEUS RISING (M 5k) that I enjoyed immensely set in the same world!

at last, at last by suspendrs - @suspendrs (NR 41k) Locked

“Come with us,” Tommo says, stopping at the other end of the gymnasium, near the doors. “Don’t let them make you suffer any longer. Come with us, and be human.”

Before Harry has even finished thinking it through, he’s on his feet, gaining the attention of every single person in the gymnasium. What has he got to lose, anyway?

Or, Harry is born into a cult in a post-apocalyptic world, and Louis is the leader of the rebel group tasked with the mission of shutting them down. Together, they make a rather effective team.

This fic does a great job of making you feel like you’re experiencing with the characters, like I could practically smell what the characters were smelling! The world it’s set in is so cool and the entire fic feels so well thought out and everything is so consistent!

my love will never leave you by we_are_the_same @so-why-let-your-voice-be-tamed (T 10k)

In a world where memories are used as currency, Louis will do anything it takes for Harry to get better.

I loved the idea behind this. Like the entire world is so brilliantly done! And it was all based on ONE word (because of the wordplay challenge). Even though it’s set in a different world everything feels so grounded and realistic and I really really like that about it.

a prayer for which no words exist by Eliane (M 34k) Locked

"Louis is a few seconds away from blowing up a rather important section of the New York subway when he sees Harry for the first time."

In this fic the characters motivations are so clear (to the reader) and I love how it goes from Louis accidentally sort of, kind of, kidnapping Harry to them becoming friends then more. I also love how no matter where they are the fic has a real sense of place. This is part 1 of landscapes of war. The entire series is really good!

Who Painted the Moon Black by throughthedark (E 95k) Locked

“People died,” Harry whispers so quietly Louis strains to hear. “People died, and I killed some of them. How does life just go on after something like that?”

Louis shakes his head. “I don't know. It just does.”

Hunger Games AU where Louis Tomlinson is district six's victor from the 69th Hunger Games and Harry Styles is district seven's victor from the 72nd Hunger Games.

This fic is a hunger games AU that both people who have and haven't read/watched the Hunger Games can enjoy. I like how it explores the world of the Hunger Games in a way that isn’t explored in the Hunger Games canon. It’s really intense (like the E is for the darker themes and violence) and I enjoy it a lot. There is a happy ending (as the author assures in the tags) and I really enjoy all the struggles that the characters go through.

“The plan is: we’re gonna put on a play. Now, I see some doubtful faces–” Louis looked around and found zero doubtful faces. Liam looked intrigued, Zayn looked bored, and Harry looked scarily blank. “But this is what’s happening. We’re gonna do some fucking acting, we’re gonna perform our hearts out, and we’re not going to think about anything else. The past, the future; none of it. All we’re going to think about is... “ Niall trailed off, eyeing the bookshelf to his left. He closed his eyes and reached a hand out towards it, running his fingers over the covers before pulling a book out at random. “William Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing.”

AU: Five assholes stuck in a bunker put on a play.

This is one of my absolute favorite fics. I just love the way the characters interact and they way the story is told. It’s nonlinear so you jump around in time and it shows the way the character's relationships change throughout. I’m a sucker for Much Ado About Nothing and though you don’t need to read it to fully appreciate the fic I think the use of the play throughout is genius.

Dystopian AU. Louis has been alone for too long to remember how not to be, and Harry has too much to worry about to deal with a scrawny, wild, stranger.

---

The man grips his arm tightly. “You’re not going to say anything.” It’s not a question.

Louis shakes his head, his body twitching.

“Fine.” Large green eyes survey him before letting go. “It’s cold. Take this. Wear it.”

Louis can’t help another flinch as the man’s long scarf is wrapped around his tender neck, it’s still warm. He touches the soft material. “Thank you.”

The man bears his teeth. “Don’t thank me. Don’t ever thank me.”

The thing this fic does really does is showing emotional reactions. Louis’ inner monologue is so well done and I really like the plot of the story.

these bountiful silences by tommoandbambi (T 123k)

they live in a world where they can only say four words per day. harry meets some people that don't want to live that way.

I really, really, really, like this plot and the story! The world that the characters exist in is so interesting and I just love the way in which it is a dystopia.

Gender Census 2020: The Pronoun Question

This report is the fourth in a series, analysing the >24,000 responses from the 2020 Gender Census question-by-question.

[ Report #1: On “enby” and age // Report #2: The Identity Question // Report #3: The Title Question ]

This year’s Gender Census, aimed at everyone whose gender(s) or lack thereof are not adequately described by the gender binary of “always, solely and completely male OR always, solely and completely female”, was open from 12th February until 7th April 2020. There were 24,576 usable responses. (Unfortunately the spreadsheet of responses won’t be available until I’ve written up the report for every question, sorry about that!)

This report will summarise the responses for the third question, regarding pronouns.

As in previous years, I asked about pronouns in two sections.

The first section is very straightforward, just one question:

Supposing all pronouns were accepted by everyone without question and were easy to learn, which pronouns are you happy for people to use for you in English?

Participants were presented with a selection of check-all-that-apply checkboxes, and if they selected “a pronoun set not listed here” they were taken to a second section where they were invited to enter all five forms of up to five sets of neopronouns, with associated verbs (singular vs. plural) and whether the set is gender-inclusive or -exclusive.

THE CHECKBOX LIST

This year, the top five pronouns (or lack thereof) were:

Singular they - they/them/their/theirs/themself - 77.5% (down 2%)

He - he/him/his/his/himself - 30.5% (down 0.3%)

She - she/her/her/hers/herself - 29% (no change)

None/avoid pronouns - 13.7% (up 3.4%)

Xe - xe/xem/xyr/xyrs/xemself - 7.4% (up 0.2%)

14.3% of participants wanted people to mix it up a bit, and 9.1% of participants were okay with any pronoun set.

In previous years I hadn’t specified verbs for singular they, only to have people assume that the “singular” in singular they refers to the verbs (i.e. “they is a nonbinary person”). This year I tried to counter that by changing the wording of the singular they checkbox option to clarify: Singular they - they/them/their/theirs/themself (plural verbs, i.e. "they are a writer"). It doesn’t seem to have made any difference.

The most striking differences are that under-30s are more likely to go for singular they and he/him, whereas over-30s are more likely to go for she/her or no pronouns at all. Overall pronoun preferences are well-matched between age groups.

Here’s how this year’s pronoun responses fit into the bigger picture:

[Note that there is no data for 2014.]

That’s singular they in blue at the top, holding steady at just over 75% even when the number of participants more than doubled this year, and she/her and he/him are also stable at about 30% each.

All of those other pronouns get a bit lost, so here’s the same chart with singular they, he/him and she/her removed, to give the rest a bit of room to breathe:

[Note that there is no data for 2014.]

Most pronouns are well within a 5% margin of wobble, with the exception of ze/hir, which has been steadily declining since the Gender Census began and has dipped from 13% to 4%. I had privately wondered whether ze/hir might be more popular among the over-30s, because I remember it being the go-to neopronoun in my social circle around 10 years ago, and it is a little more popular with over-30s compared to under-30s (6% and 4% respectively).

9.1% of participants didn’t want to be referred to by he/him, she/her, or they/them. 6.3% of participants didn’t select or enter any specific pronoun set at all.

Every pronoun in the checkbox list was selected by over 4% of participants in at least one of the two broad age groups, so nothing will be removed from the pronoun list next year.

NEOPRONOUNS

The most popular neopronoun is in the checkbox list: xe/xem/xyr/xyrs/xemself, at 7.4% of participants.

For the top five typed-in pronoun sets, I’ve taken into account only the subject and object:

ey/em - 0.6% (142 participants)

ae/aer - 0.3%

they/them - 0.3%

ve/ver - 0.2%

ze/zir - 0.2%

The reason I don’t take into account more forms of the pronoun or whether it uses singular or plural verbs is because there is so much variation that each pronoun gets split into several sets, such that it becomes impractical to work out whether any pronoun is entered often enough that it should be added to the checkbox list. I’ve noticed a lot more variation in the possessives (possessive determiner and possessive pronoun, eg: his, hers, their, etc.) and reflexives (”[pronoun]self”), which is why I tend to leave them out when counting to find broad patterns.

As an example, let’s take a look at ey/em, the most popular neopronoun entered into the textboxes. When you include singular/plural verbs in counting, it goes from 142 to 68. If you take into account every variation in all five forms and verbs for every set beginning with ey/em, you get 18 unique sets:

ey/em/eir/eirs/emself (singular verbs) - 63

ey/em/eir/eirs/emself (plural verbs) - 35

ey/em/eir/eirs/eirself (plural verbs) - 14

ey/em/eir/eirs/eirself (singular verbs) - 11

ey/em/eir/eirs/emselves (plural verbs) - 3

ey/em/eir/eir's/eirself (plural verbs) - 2

ey/em/eir/eir's/emself (singular verbs) - 2

ey/em/eir/eirs/emself (any verbs) - 2

ey/em/eir/[blank]/[blank] (any verbs) - 1

ey/em/eir/eir/emself (singular verbs) - 1

ey/em/eir/eirs/emself / emselves (singular verbs) - 1

ey/em/eir/eirs/erself (plural verbs) - 1

ey/em/eir/eis/emself (singular verbs) - 1

ey/em/eirs/eirs/eirself (plural verbs) - 1

ey/em/er/eirs/emself (singular verbs) - 1

ey/em/er/ers/emself (plural verbs) - 1

ey/em/es/ers/eirself (plural verbs) - 1

ey/em/eyr/eyrs/eyrself (plural verbs) - 1

Part of why I love running this survey year on year is I get to explore which neopronoun sets have an approximate consensus on how exactly to use them. This one would be:

I’m in a coffee shop with my friend Sam. Ey is buying emself a coffee in eir reusable takeaway cup. “Is this your coffee?” the barista asks me, holding up Sam’s coffee. “No,” I reply, pointing to Sam, “it’s eirs.”

I have collected data on whether the sets are considered gender-inclusive (can be used by anyone of any gender) or gender-exclusive (can only be used by people of a particular gender), because I thought that I or someone else might be curious to find out whether there was a neopronoun rising in popularity that would be considered a truly “nonbinary pronoun”, in the way that singular they can’t due to its use as a pronoun for people whose genders are not specified. I haven’t done any statistical calculations or analysis on this, because none of the neopronouns (checkbox or textbox) are clearly climbing in popularity. When the spreadsheet of responses is published anyone who is curious can investigate.

Even when you combine every set that begins with the most popular first two forms (ey/em) it only totals 142, which is under 1% of participants, so there will be no neopronouns added to the checkbox list next year.

Fun trivia: counting by subject/object/reflexive, there were 768 different pronoun sets entered, of which 165 were entered more than once (about one neopronoun in five). That’s one neopronoun set for every 32 participants.

OVERALL

Of all specific pronoun sets in the checkbox list and typed in, most people (43%) went by only one set, and 33% were happy with two sets. Some examples of people going by two sets of pronouns might be:

A nonbinary man whose favourite pronoun set is he/him, but they/them is also correct.

Someone whose favourite pronouns are ze/hir, but because that set isn’t well-known ze’ll accept they/them from people who don’t know hir well.

A nonbinary person who was assigned female at birth and who presents in a feminine way, who hasn’t found a pronoun set she likes yet, so she’s happy to go with the pronouns that were assigned to her at birth until she finds something that feels right.

CONCLUSION

Singular they continues to be the most popular pronoun among survey participants, greater than the two runners up (he/him and she/her) combined. At over three quarters of participants, if you’re not sure of a nonbinary person’s pronouns, this is a good fallback.

However, since 9.1% (almost 1 in 10) aren’t into he/him, she/her, or singular they, it’s always good to ask if you can. (Don’t call them preferred pronouns, they’re just pronouns!)

The most popular neopronoun is xe/xem, at 7.4%.

Just a Touch

Tom Holland soulmate AU where soulmates can heal each other through touch

I’ve been sitting on this story for literal months. Like it’s been finished and I just... haven’t posted it. Oops lol :) Enjoy

Word Count: 5072

Warnings: mentions of injury; implied s*x

Rating: T but with some slightly mature themes

*Not my AU idea!!* I don’t remember where I saw it first but I didn’t make up this concept, just changed it a bit!

You were surrounded by people, all waiting to see the one and only Tom Holland.

It was an exciting thought, except for the fact that your whole body was aching from having stood in place for hours. Your back was sore, legs tired, and a headache had been brought on by all the yelling.

Unfortunately for you, you had yet to meet your soulmate.

See, touching your soulmate could heal pretty much anything, but not everyone had the privilege of knowing theirs. Some did, of course. Most fell in love and married while others were platonic friends who usually lived in close proximity.

You weren’t alone in this predicament. Only a few of your friends knew their soulmates. One pair of friends had grown up together and always known, another pair lived long distance but had a thriving relationship.

It’s not like you really cared. You were still young and had never really needed their help healing you. Sure you’d been hurt, but the occasional bump and bruise (and that one broken arm) weren’t the end of the world.

You snapped out of your thoughts as the cheers got loud again, signaling that Tom was finally drawing near. You and your friends looked around, trying to peek over shoulders and catch a glimpse of him.

What you didn’t realize is that he was within the crowd somewhere behind you, coming forward. A few moments later, you finally saw him heading straight towards you.

He was trying to give high fives and greetings as he passed through the thick crowd. When he approached, people seemed to surge around you, and you were bumped around, falling over.

A hand reached out to steady you, and a voice asked,

“You alright, darling?”

Adrenaline spiked as you realized that the hand and voice belonged to Tom himself. A quick smile and nod and he was on his way again.

What you didn’t realize until later was the way your aches had disappeared and the surge of energy had rushed over you.

Tom was having a weird day to say the least.

He’d woken up late, body sore and tired. His sinuses were stuffed and head hurt. Yesterday had been a long day of press and workouts, and of course his allergies had to flare right before another taxing day.

But the show must go on, right?

Upon arriving to yet another location that day, Tom found a massive crowd waiting for him, so he did something any spontaneous twenty-something man would do.

Walk right through the middle of it.

To be honest, Tom had been pulling more stunts like this lately in the hopes that he would find his own soulmate. Sure he was a worldwide celebrity, but that didn’t make the search any easier.

Yes, he could live without one, but as accident and broken-nose prone he was, he’d feel safer knowing they were out there and could help him when he really needed it.

So, he moved through the crowd giving as many high fives as possible.

At one point he came across a girl who lost her step, helping steady her and making sure she was okay before continuing on to the building.

It was only when he was inside that Tom realized he could breathe a little bit easier and the stiff and sore feeling had subsided.

He paused when the door shut, confused at why he suddenly felt so... good.

And then it hit him.

“Come on, man, we need to get upstairs,” Harry said, ignoring the surprised expression on his brother’s face.

“I think I found her. Or.. him. I don’t really know.”

“What are you on about? We need to go.”

“No, Harry. I found someone. My soulmate is out there in that crowd.”

Harry was dumbfounded. He was still soulmate-less, and found it stupid for Tom to run through crowds and touch everyone just to find them, but now look who had the last laugh.

“How do you know? You aren’t hurt are you? Or did you just forget to tell me?”

“Well, I was really sore this morning, and now I’m not. And my allergy symptoms are gone. I don’t know how to describe it, but I’m healed and it was definitely not by natural causes.”

“Well we don’t have time for you to run back through and try to single someone out of everyone out there. I’m sure you’ll find each other again soon. Now Let’s. Go.”

And with that, Tom resigned his fight and continued on with his plans, but his focus was elsewhere.

You’d decided to keep it a secret that you had found your soulmate because, frankly, you weren’t quite sure who it was.

Your longing heart hoped it was Tom, but you’d touched so many people in the few seconds before, during, and after interacting with him. It was foolish to think it was him, and there was no way to tell your friends because they’d just call you crazy.

The only way to find out was staring back at you in the form of a lot of money.

Tom had an upcoming meet and greet, the perfect way to get one on one with him. Unfortunately tickets were expensive, but maybe, just maybe, it would be worth the price.

So you clicked confirm, and the one month countdown commenced.

Tom was tired of not knowing who his soulmate was.

It was one thing not even knowing if they were out there, but it was another to have experienced healing without having met them. In a sense, it felt like sharing intimacy with a stranger.

He continued to walk through crowds when possible, but still nothing. He even asked Harry to punch him in the arm sometimes just so he’d have something painful to compare with.

Now, a month after kind of meeting them, he was standing in front of a backdrop taking pictures with fans. And maybe “the one” would be here today. Because of this, Tom let Harry give him another punch for what was hopefully the last time.

On another side of the event space, you stood in the long line surrounded by strangers, butterflies stirring in your stomach. Or was it nausea? Maybe both.

You wore a pair of cute jean shorts and a crop top to show the scrape on your leg from clumsily sliding across some carpet and the bruise on your side from running into the kitchen counter.

Almost an hour had passed since you’d gotten in line and now there were only 4 people in front of you. You realized that you’d only have about a minute to say something and had to be quick.

Finally your time came and you were led into what was essentially a pop-up room with Tom on one side and a camera crew plus his team on the other.

“Hi there. It’s so nice to meet you!” he said, arms extending for a hug.

“Wait,” you said stopping him, the camera crew clearly annoyed that you might take up time. “I need you to look at my leg while you touch my hand.”

“Um, okay?” Tom replied as you showed the scrape on your knee, “ that’s quite the scratch.”

You laughed nervously and grabbed his hand. Suddenly any pain around your leg or side started to go away, and the redness surrounding your knee began to fade as if it was healing in triple time.

It was him, and you were both shocked.

Tom’s arm no longer hurt once he grabbed your hand. He couldn’t believe he’d found you.

Both of you looked into each other’s eyes, entranced as you smiled at each other, hands still held together. Then there was a click and a flash and you snapped out of it, looking to the camera.

“Okay sweetheart come over here and get your number...” a crew member said, trying to lead you out.

“Wait, wait. Just please wait one second,” Tom exclaimed to the crew, and then turning to you he said loudly enough for everyone to hear, “don’t go anywhere.”

You nodded and nervously looked at all the event staff who clearly wanted nothing more than to finish up and move on.

Tom pulled Harry aside and before he could say anything, Harry cut him off.

“She’s the one isn’t she?” he asked.

“Yeah. Definitely. I don’t know if you saw it bu-”

They talked a few minutes and you were asked to follow Harry to the green room as Tom resumed his place to finish up pictures with the remaining fans.

Harry opened the door and gestured around. There were a few chairs, a coffee table, a little sink, and a counter on the side of the room covered in snacks, drinks, and personal bags.

“Feel free to take a seat. Tom’ll be a bit longer. Would you like a water?”

“That’d be great, thanks,” you replied as you sat cautiously at one end of the couch. Harry came around and handed you a bottle, seating himself in a chair on your left.

You conversed for a while until finally Tom burst through the door frantically. When his eyes met yours, he let out a loud sigh of relief.

“I’m so glad you’re still here. Harry, d’you mind?”

With that, Harry got up, telling you a quick goodbye as he slipped out of the room, leaving only you and Tom. You stood up quickly and stuck out a hand.

“We never met properly. I’m y/n.”

Tom took your hand in his for the second time that day, and since nothing was wrong with you now, you felt a tingling sensation where your hand met his.

“I’m sure you know, but I’m Tom.”

You let out a chuckle and nodded happily. After a few seconds of staring at each other silently, Tom spoke up again.

“So you’re my soulmate, eh? The more I look at you, I wonder, did you accidentally fall in that crowd a few weeks back?”

You were shocked he remembered.

“Yeah, actually. I thought I was crazy to believe you were the one just from that.”

You should’ve heard what Harry said about me,” he muttered.

With that, you spent the day getting to know each other and swapped numbers, deciding to keep things under wraps for now.

You and Tom had spoken many times in the two months since first meeting, texting throughout the day and facetiming often. It was like an instant friendship had formed, filling a hole in your heart that you didn’t know was there.

Now you were in your last lecture of the day at your university when your phone rang. It was Tom.

Usually you wouldn’t answer calls in the middle of class, but Tom never called unless you both knew you were free. So, you quickly packed up your things and ran out, making a mental note to email your professor about it later.

“Hello?” you picked up, nervous.

“Y/n, it’s Harry. Tom got into a, uh, little accident on set. We were wondering if you could come out and heal him. He’ll pay for everything.”

You thought about it for a minute. It was a Friday, which meant that wherever he was, you should be able to be back for classes again on Monday.

“Where are you guys filming?” you asked.

“Montreal. I found that the next direct flight from LA is this evening if you can make it. I’ll book you the ticket if you’ll just send over the necessary information.”

“Okay, yeah, sure,” you said, frantically racing across campus to your car, “how long am I gonna be there and how’s the weather. What should I pack?”

“It’s definitely chilly so pack layers. Until Sunday, but it’s an overnight flight. Make sure you wear something nice on the plane. We’ll have someone pick you up when your flight lands”

Everything was happening so fast, but you had to do this. He was your soulmate after all.

You raced through LAX, dragging a small carryon behind you after finally getting your ticket and passing through security. You hadn’t really looked at the details and just hoped to get to the gate on time.

You arrived a few minutes before boarding and realized you hadn’t told anyone but your roommate what you were doing, and even then you lied and said you were just visiting a "sick friend.”

Looking at the ticket, you saw that you were in boarding group 1, which was a crazy thought. Usually you were in like 5 or 6.

Seat 4A. Wow that’s close to the front.

It wasn’t until stepping on the plane that you realized 4A was in first class. You’d never ridden first class, and it was shocking that Tom would pay for you to fly in such luxury.

It was also good that you’d taken Harry’s advice and worn some slacks, a blouse, and a blazer, as most of the passengers around you were dressed in business suits and dresses.

You settled in for the 5 and a half hour flight, wondering what Montreal would hold when you landed at about 4:30 the next morning, Tom’s time.

Exiting the international airport after getting through customs, you searched for a sign with your name on it. It had been hard explaining where you were going or staying to the customs agent when you didn’t know yourself. You’d lied and said you were staying with a friend just outside the city as if you really knew.

You finally spotted a man in a nice suit and hat with a sign reading “Ms. y/n y/l/n” and headed towards him. He shook your hand and led you to sleek black Mercedes, opening the door for you and putting your bag in the back.

“Mr. Holland’s home, oui?” He asked in his own French-Canadian accent.

“Oui, or, yes. Yeah. Thank you.”

It was still dark out, but the sky began brightening as you traveled. It took about 45 minutes for you to finally pull onto a little driveway that wound towards a house. You’d been communicating with Harry and now saw him standing under porch lights.

“Okay, what’s wrong? How is he?” you immediately asked when stepping out as the driver went to retrieve your bag.

“He’s doing okay, but he’s in a lot of pain. I’ll let him do the explaining,” Harry answered as he took the bag from the driver, thanked him, and handed him a stack of cash. He showed you into and through the house.

Harry opened a door that led to a dark bedroom where Tom was laying on top of the bed.

He looked awful. His face was beat up with a black eye and swollen nose, he had a splint on one leg that rested on a pillow, and one wrist was covered in ace wrap.

“Heyyy, darling. You alright?” he croaked, trying to give you a cheeky grin.

“Oh my God, Tom! What did you do?” you exclaimed, rushing beside his bed. Harry exited the room, saying he’d put your things in another room.

Tom explained how he’d had an accident while doing a dirt biking stunt that involved mud and crashing into a tree and then tumbling down a hill.

“Thank you for coming, by the way. You didn’t have to.”

“Tom you look like you’re on your deathbed, how could I not? And I mean what is this like the fifth time you’ve broken your nose?”

“I told you I’m clumsy,” he tried to joke as you shook your head in feigned amusement.

Now was the hard part, figuring out how to heal him effectively. It was well known that healing happened faster the more a pair was touching, but you and Tom hadn’t known each other long. Where was the line of too much vs. not enough?

“Okay, how fast do you want to get better? And by that I mean, how comfortable are you with contact?” you questioned.

“I’m fine with whatever you feel comfortable doing. I’d be happy even if you only laid one finger on me.”

You smiled and rolled your eyes, eventually deciding to sit on the bed next to him. You started by putting a hand over his hurt arm, and immediately you began to feel tired. Healing someone with bigger injuries was... draining.

A few minutes later and you couldn’t sit up anymore and instead laid down, now pressing your body to his. You watched as the blue and purple spots on his face faded to normal as you felt yourself tire even faster than before.

Soon enough, he was moving to unwrap his wrist and leg, rolling both of them in circles to test the waters, wincing at his ankle still. Suddenly, you rolled away.

“Are you okay?” he whispered.

“I... I need to rest for a bit. Give me a few hours and I’ll finish fixing up that ankle,” you managed to say before passing out.

Light filled the room as you opened your eyes from deep slumber. You were confused at where you were, then remembered the circumstances. But this wasn’t Tom’s room. Your bag sat by the door and phone rested on a bedside table. Your stomach growled.

You slowly got up and headed to the bathroom, fixing your hair and changing into something more comfortable than business clothes.

You navigated down the hall towards male voices, finding Harry, Harrison, and Tom all sitting around a dining table laughing. They suddenly went quiet when you came in.

“Y/n! You’re awake!” Tom said, moving to stand, but instead winced and settled back.

“Hah, yeah. What’s that smell? Are you cooking up lunch?”

The boys looked at each other, then back at you.

“Y/n... it’s 6 in the evening...” Harry started, “you’ve been asleep about 12 hours.”

You were shocked, but checked the time on the wall. Sure enough, it was just past 6. Your stomach growled again.

“Well... that’s interesting, but seriously, do I smell food or not? I could eat a whale.” you joked.

After a large spaghetti dinner, you all moved to the living room. Tom had asked you to wait to finish healing him until later that night so you could both sleep at a normal time.

The boys explained how after you’d passed out, Harry and Harrison had carried you to your room to rest. You spent the night laughing with the boys and getting to know Tom’s friend and brother better, too.

When nighttime rolled around, Tom used some crutches to get to his room and you followed close behind.

Once he settled in, you again took post beside him, this time resigning to laying down from the get-go. You pressed up against each other like before, but this time he wrapped an arm over your side.

It didn’t take long for you to feel sleepy, but you could feel Tom moving his ankle and sighing in relief. He let out a soft hum.

“Thank you, darling,” he whispered, but you were already slipping into slumber.

The next morning you had woken up in Tom’s arms, which was shocking to say the least (but in a good way). He was able to walk again and looked completely healthy, which was great.

You spend the rest of Sunday hanging out before packing to go back home.

“Hey, y/n,” Tom said softly, standing in the doorway of your room, “Thanks again for coming out. I wanted to ask, I mean, I know you’re in uni now, but when you go on summer break, would you maybe want to come stay with me for the summer? I’m filming for Spider-Man and well... you know me.”

“Tom, are you asking me to come spend a summer with you filming a Marvel movie?”

“Well, if you’re alright with it. We begin shooting in Atlanta.”

“Uh, absolutely! How could anyone pass that up? The only thing I’m concerned about is how we’re gonna keep this a secret.”

“What if we didn’t?”

You stood up from where you had just placed some clothes back in your bag.

“What?”

“I mean, what if we announced that we’re soulmates? Obviously it’s up to you, but I just saw an article with leaked information that I was seriously hurt and the internet will be appalled when they see pictures of me completely healed.”

You took a heavy breath out, thinking.

“Okay. But I want to wait until people start talking about it. I feel like we need to keep it quiet until we really need to,” you explained, zipping up your carryon.

“Deal.”

After finals, you were able to go home for two weeks to see your friends and family before heading east to Atlanta.

After going public as Tom’s soulmate, you’d definitely gotten some attention at school and online, but thankfully no one really bothered you in person about it.

Tom was waiting at the airport when you arrived with two large bags and a backpack for your three month stay. Tom was letting you stay in a spare room at his rental house for the summer, so you’d brought pretty much your entire summer wardrobe.

As the first month came and went, you’d gotten to know the cast and crew as you were now labeled as another “assistant” for Tom and spent your days around set.

He hadn’t really hurt himself aside from some pulled muscles, and had actually needed to heal you once when you tripped by the pool and slammed your knee into the concrete.

Almost every night before going to bed, you gave each other a long hug to take away any of the day’s soreness.

It was during the second month that Tom really got hurt.

He was in the Spider-man stunt rig swinging around when a clip that had been incorrectly attached came undone. Of course he had other wires, but the one that came off caused him to slam with full force from a decent height into a wall, where he stuck his arms and legs out to brace himself.

He’d definitely broken a bone or two and heavily sprained his ankle . He also had hit the side of his head upon impact and suffered a concussion.

Once they lowered him down, you rushed over and put a hand on him, and he immediately stopped groaning in pain. You however, were quickly drained of energy and needed to stop.

As you were helped to his trailer to rest, they got to work removing the wires and suit, now that he was in slightly less pain. It took almost an hour, which gave you enough time to at least build up some energy and eat something.

They closed filming for the day to investigate the incident and sent Tom and you home. No one would let you touch him until you were home so they wouldn’t possibly have to carry both of you into the house.

You watched nervously as Tom and Harry carefully carried him to his room and the second he was in bed, you crawled in next to him. It didn’t take long for him to start showing signs of improvement as your strength deteriorated.

After almost a half hour, you finally let yourself fall into a deep slumber.

After that day, it was like a switch had flipped in you. You were scared of leaving Tom alone now and he wasn’t particularly fond of separation either, even though he was mostly fine by the next day.

Because of that, you had made the decision to fully move in together, meaning you were now sharing a bed every night. You now always fell asleep in each other’s arms, but there was nothing sexual about it.

To be honest, though, you didn’t really understand where your relationship stood.

Yes, you had had a crush on him before all of this and yes you held a deep love for him, but what kind? He was your soulmate, and things were great, but did you want things to become more? Everyone said the most healing act was sex, but was he even thinking about that?

You got somewhat of an answer just a week later when Tom invited the cast to get drunk together now that filming had been pushed back due to the investigation.

After many hard seltzers and beers and margaritas and all kinds of other drinks had been smashed, some members left in ubers while others crashed on the couch and your former room.

You and Tom, however, headed back to his room. You weren’t really drunk, you had wanted to keep an eye out on Tom, so there was a slight buzz in your head and you felt a little warm, but nothing else.

You tried to help him get ready for bed when he blurted out a few words,

“You know I really want to kiss you right now. Have wanted to for a while.”

Your cheeks burned and butterflies danced in your stomach. You chuckled.

“Hmm. Say that when you’re sober.”

“Can I at least give you a little kiss? Just on the forehead?” he mumbled as he crawled into the bed.

You tugged on some sweats, then got in next to him.

“Yeah alright, since you asked nicely,” you said, curling up next to him.

You felt his lips press softly on your temple, then his chin rest above your head.

“Goodnight, y/n. Love you,” he whispered.

You smiled and squinched your face. The alcohol buzz was fading fast from his touch.

“Goodnight, Tom.”

It seemed like Tom had forgotten everything that happened that night as he never brought it up again, and even though drunk words are sober thoughts, you didn’t want to bring it up in case he’d changed his mind.

A couple weeks passed and every night you still fell asleep holding each other, and things finally got back into a rhythm as filming was resumed, but you couldn’t help but continue to think about what he’d said drunk.

Then one night you got into an argument.

It had started off as a little disagreement with a few jabs and ended with shouting. You stormed into the bedroom and then the bathroom, slamming the door behind you to cool off.

You splashed some water on your face and looked in the mirror, trying not to cry. Things had been going so well. What happened?

A few minutes later and there was a soft knock on the door.

“Y/n? Could you please come out? I want to talk to you.”

You rolled your eyes but obliged, walking to sit on the bed’s edge.

“Look, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have said those things and yelled at you and I didn’t mean any of it,” he apologized.

“I’m sorry too, Tom. I’m just frustrated about something else and I let it control my emotions. Either way, I shouldn’t have done that.”

“What’s bothering you?” He asked, taking a tentative seat next to you.

You, you thought

“It’s nothing. You wouldn’t get it.”

“I’m sure I would. You can tell me.”

“No, Tom. I can’t.”

“Y/n come on.”

“Fine, okay. I’m pretty sure I love you or something,” your voice began to raise, “and you asked to kiss me when we had that party and then never brought it up and I didn’t know what to say because I hadn’t wanted to take advantage of you drunk but then we just continued like nothing happened and I’ve wanted to kiss you and hold you for so long and I just-”

And that’s when he cut you off with a kiss. You pulled back in amazement.

“Tom I-”

“Look, y/n. I didn’t bring it up again because I was afraid you weren’t interested and I had overstepped. Yeah I was drunk but I still remember something as big as that. Do you know how long I’ve wanted to do that?”

That’s when you passionately went in for a kiss, eventually shifting so that you straddled him. You got to say your own line upon breaking off.

“Do you know how long I’ve wanted to do that?”

It wasn’t much longer that clothing was shed and Tom was digging in his bedside table for condoms (he “always has them just in case”) and you were breathing heavy and covered in a thin layer of sweat.

You’d thought since the time you and Tom met that your heart was full, but you hadn’t felt complete until this moment, staring at your soulmate after entangling yourselves like never before.

You hadn’t even realized that your heart was hurting until it was healed by a simple action.

Your heart pounded as you thought about what had just happened, staring at the ceiling. Neither of you had talked since exclaiming each other’s names in ecstasy.

“Holy shit,” Tom whispered, looking over at you once he cooled down. You let out a laugh, not sure what to say back.

“I swear, y/n, that was the best feeling I’ve ever had. Ever. Why did we not think of this sooner?”

You rolled onto your side and looked at him with a soft smile.

“I can say I’ve never felt anything like I do in this moment. I’ve never felt so whole. Never felt so in love. And you don’t have to say it back but it’s how I feel and-”

“I’m in love with you, too. You know it cracks me up when you overthink things. I’ve been in love with you ever since the moment I watched all my friends become infatuated with you. You’re magnetic, and I’m so glad you’re mine.”

“You really mean that?”

“I do. I love you. You’re truly the best thing that ever happened to me,” he explained.

“Hey, now, just because you love me doesn’t mean you have to lie. Spider-Man has to rank above me.”

“Well Spider-Man led me to you.”

You narrowed your eyes.

“Touché.”

You sat in silence a bit longer, watching each other carefully.

“Do you think we should go back in there? You know, so the boys don’t think we hate each other or anything?” you ask, jutting your thumb towards the door behind you.

“Mmm. I guess we could do that... after we take a shower...” he trailed, raising his brows. You let out another laugh.

“I like the way you think, soulmate.”

A/N: ooooh my spiciest story yet. That’s about as explicit as I’ll ever get but it fit the vibe of the story. Again, I don’t remember who I got the general idea from, but the touch soulmate AU is not completely mine. I did modify it a little bit, tho.

Send a message or ask if you’d like to be added to my permanent or series taglists so I can verify you’ve been added!

Earth is Space Australia “The Invasion Continues

You all seemed to really enjoy the burg invasion, so here is some more. I hope you like it and I hope you have a great Monday.

“This planet…. Is a death trap. All our men are dead or…. Or dying…. Please we cannot survive any longer.”

The transmission ended rather abruptly, and the newly instated burg commander slammed his fist into the control panel, “What is happening!”

Around the room his counterparts scurried to avoid his anger.

“There have been reports of animal attacks, poisonings and…. Industrial accidents…. It seems that the human planet is far more dangerous than we originally anticipated. The entire thing is a deathtrap.”

Crew members cowered back against their station as a pincer slammed into the console, “They are squishy flesh-bags you should have no trouble taking them out!”

“The humans are not the problem, it is their planet. It is covered in boiling water, poisonous plants, angry wildlife, and apparently non-military have banded into pack-hunting structures in order to kill us, and it is working very effectively. We assumed that their civilian population would be largely inferior to their military counterparts, but it turns out that the non military humans are just more creative.”

The burg commander’s carapace chattered with his anger, “Then if we cannot win this war, we will hit them where it hurts.”

“Your glory?”

“Bring me the GPS coordinates.”

“The ones that we took from the destroyed human ship.”

The burg rubbed two of his upper legs together, “Exactly those.”

The burg second in command looked very confused, “But, your glory. These….. Are just locations on the planet related to specific human soldiers. Why would we need these?”

The burg commander tapped his leg against the console,

“Cut off the head, and the body will die.”

***

“This morning both local and worldwide governments have reported isolated pockets of alien ivation from all over the world, Let’s head to Jeff who has been traveling the eastern seaboard this morning with details.”

“Thank you Tom, and yes worldwide and local governments have issued a state of emergency. UNSC forces are being deployed as we speak to all locations around the globe where the Burg have been sited. However, this is no independence day Steve, this is something entirely different. While there have been reports about burg sightings, teams of them up to five or six strong in some cases, so far no one has been killed or injured, at least not by a burg anyway.”

“What do you mean Jeff?”

“Well isolated reports have reached us from all across the world of people who have accidentally run into burg remains rather than live soldiers.. Evidence suggests that Crocodiles, bears, wolves, poison ivy, army ants, hippos, kangaroos, and poisonous snakes have all taken up the cause of mother earth, who doesn’t seem particularly pleased about being invaded. And when the burg have made their way into populated city centers, well things haven’t gotten much better. Groups of drunken football fans in eastern Europe and the British isles have been seen roaming the streets of Berlin, Paris, London, Dublin, and Rome in packs . Vatican security forces were even dispatching a number of burg troops in the early hours of the morning.”

The TV screen cut to a grainy video of a dark street which showed a pack of riotous humans with bats, clubs, and broken chairs racing down the street after alien forms shouting insults to the fleeing backs.

The video cut.

“Reports in from Chicago have the local gangs, police forces, and a high school chess club teaming up and beating the invasion back with gunfire, improvised explosives, dogs, and molotov cocktails of all things.”

“A truly shocking turn of events Jeff, but what are the UNSC saying about protecting us and our families during this time.”

“The UNSC is cautiously optimistic about the outcome of this event, Tom, but even so, they are advising that all Burg sightings be directed to the UNSC invasion hotline, with the number posted on screen right here, and available on all major mobile devices. Civilians are encouraged to avoid the burg if at all possible, though if those are not an option for either you or your family, the CDC has issued reports that human saliva can be fatal to the burg due to a certain enzyme which known to break down burg slime, and the potent cocktail of germs which follow. Your best weapon is to spit at them, barring that, than go right ahead and beat them to death with any available blunt object within reach, or sharp object. Shaolin warriors in china, Samurai enthusiasts in japan on Renaissance goers from america to europe are finding uses for swords and bladed weapons they have not been used for in the history of man. Attack dog saliva is just as useful as human saliva in this case so if Fido wants to get in on the action, your best bet is to let your pooch go ham and serve himself up a plate of space crab.”

“Thank you Jeff, and stay tuned where we will be receiving real time updates on the state of the invasion. But for now will your homeowners insurance cover alien invasions, what you need to know.” Martha, Jim, and Sunny sat on the couch staring at the TV.

Jim scratched his chin thoughtfully, “Better stay inside, Sunny. I’m sure after that there might be some people to gungho to notice you’re a bit too pretty to be a burg.”

“Alien invasion.” Martha muttered, “Do you think we should get the guns ready, just in case.”

The man shrugged, “Couldn’t hurt. Come on Sunny, you know how to use a gun don’t you.”

“I am Chief weapons specialist.”

“I’ll take that as a yes.”

Martha stood, “Grab my shotgun will you, dear, I’m going to go check on Adam.”

He nodded, letting her go. Sunny glanced over her shoulder catching a glimpse into the room through the door where Adam was lying out cold. She was pleased to see he was still asleep, and had slept through most of the night.

Hopefully this alien invasion thing would be over by the time he woke up.

***

Martha appeared at the top of the stairs into the basement, just as Jim and Sunny were coming up the stairs, a gun in each hand.

Martha took one from Sunny and walked into the kitchen, where the three of them sat at the table loading weapons. The doorbell going off nearly startled them out of their seats, but Jim went to go get it.

Sunny listened intently.

“Hey dad, did you see the news this morning?”

“Oh hey David, why don’t you come on inside, good morning to you Jordan, ah and my nephew.” Sunny lifted her head as David, Adam’s older brother, walked into the kitchen with his partner Jordan and their little boy bouncing happily in Jim’s arms.

Martha got up to hug her sun, and the other members of his family.

“Yes we heard about that.”

“Oh, hi sunny. Is Adam here?”

Martha had the group of them take their seats, “he’s resting. Apparently he went and saved the universe just recently, and we are trying to get him to rest. So don’t talk about the whole alien invasion thing too loudly.”

“Oh, sorry.”

It was just at that moment that the absolutely deafening sound of engines rocked the house rumbling through the floors and shaking the very foundation.

“What in blue blazes.”

Outside the front window a chain of bikers and rednecks doubled up on old rickety dirt bikes raced past the window screaming and brandishing guns. The line seemed to go on forever until they vanished down the road.

“What in the hell.”

A groggy voice just behind them, “What’s going on?”

They all turned to find Adam leaning against the hallway wall rubbing his eyes and looking rather bleery. He was still very pale.

“Just the neighbor kids being louds, now, Go back to bed!”

Adam appeared too groggy to be skeptical and just staggered back to his room.

The group of them looked at each other nervously.

“Sunny and I will stay here and guard the house, you three mind going outside and checking out what is going on.”

***

They had come to cut off the head. All remaining burg forces had been rerouted from the rest of earth, and were now making their way towards the GPS coordinates. They knew they could not overtake earth, but if they couldn’t do that then they had vowed to destroy the morale of humanity and take away it’s greatest nuisance.

Commander Adam vir would be dead before the sun sak below the horizon.

They entirely expected to show up in surprise, unannounced, but earth had different plans for them. In the space of ten minutes, two of their troops was hit by a minivan, and a third was attacked by a very angry small dog.

Walking along the fence line another burg ran into a very strange creature. It was very small, and sat atop a fence post, its golden eyes fixed on the burg as it lazily flicked it’s tail back and forth. Its ears were drawn back flat against it’s skull. He approached, and the creature hissed. He went to shoo it away with a hand.

And was immediately set upon by a very angry cat intent on ripping his eyes out of his face.

Their luck only worsened as engines rolled up the street, and a group of hungry looking bikers, teamed up with a very gleeful group of rednecks came charging down the street guns blazing. Motorcycles spun out, humans went flying.

Nearby, in the residential houses, families hid in their basements, while others made it to rooftops taking pot shots from their balconies, upper windows, or sometimes form the peak of their rooftops.

One young man had been very industrious, unbeknownst to his parents, and began chucking lit molotov cocktails out the window of his bedroom.

His older brother, also a chemistry geek upgraded that to homemade napalm.

From the other end of the street, the highschool girls softball team, and the girl scouts rolled up on hover boards and the backs of bicycles. The softball team had a mounted automated pitching machine on the back of a wagon, and each girl was equipped with a bat, and a bucket full of balls.

The girl scouts had apparently been preparing since last night, and had water guns full of spit, which was pretty gross but rather effective.

The softball captain took up a mounted position at the back of the wagon, and began pouring the balls into the machine which fired out at about ninety miles an hour give or take five. One burg had his face collapsed in an unlucky turn of events.

Their invitation to the high school baseball team had not gone un-headed, but they had brought with them the chemistry club, and the robotics team, who had downgraded to potato guns for the moment.

The police rocked up a few moments later to create a blockade down the next street and coordinate so now humans got caught in the crossfire .

An unsupervised cheerleader, had made herself rather industrious pulling up with a vest full of hair products, which people seemed skeptical about until she sprayed a burg right in the eyes, and turned another can into a flamethrower. A group of firemen showed up behind the police, blasting lines of Drev with high powered fire hose

I took the burg longer than it should have to determine that being lumped into a group wasn’t the best idea and so broke off into smaller units managing to sneak in through the mele and into the neighborhood.

Their luck didn’t get much better.

One of them was nailed in the head by a dirty diaper dropped from an upper window.

Another found himself hounded by the cross country team, who were gleefully using mankind's god-given talent of distance running to run their prey into the ground, hunting like pack humans should before beating them to death with tire irons and crowbars.

Someone’s dad stood on his front porch armed with a fire extinguisher and his tool belt, while another mom had packed her kids neatly into their car seats and was roaming the streets with ACDC blaring through her open windows, mowing over any unsuspecting burg that happened to end up in the street while her teenage daughter offered free ammunition and snacks from the back window.

The UNSC showed up late to the party rolling into scene in jeeps with proper military equipment and drones

By this time the invasion force was dwindling, and only a single group had managed to make it through to their target.

A little house in the center of the suburbs unsuspecting in the warm overhead sun.

They crept forward a few of them moving around back while the others inched around front.

One slid up to the front door, reached out a hand and opened inward.

They were met by the barrel of a shotgun and a very angry blond woman, and her face twisted into a snarl, was the last thing he ever saw.

***

Adam was woken a second time by gunshots. Bolting upright in bed and nearly passing out from the vertigo. He blinked blearily past his fuzzy vision and out the door as his mother backed into the hallway. There was another loud blast and blue icor painted the wall before her.

She backed down the hallway, and he could hear the repeated pump of the shotgun as she backed down the hall.

The burg chasing after.

He tried getting to his feet, but ended up on the floor gripping the bedside table for support.

His mother’s hair flew wildly about her head

“YOU STAY AWAY FROM MY SUN.” Another mob of them was rounding the corner.. It looked like she was going to be over-run.

But a sudden swirl of blue overtook them, and Sunny charged into them dispatching at least four less than as many seconds. A whimper came from the corner, and he turned his head to find Jordan, wide-eyed standing in the corner blocking his son shakily holding a rifle in one hand.

Martha backed up until she was kneeling right before Adam blocking him with her body.

Sunny was backing down the hall now too as the Burg followed.

Jordan took a deep breath and peered around the doorframe, taking one or two shots as sunny flattened herself against the wall, before he ducked back into cover.

It wasn’t looking good.

Not at least until Jim, and David came bursting in one through the front and one through the back mowing down the remaining burg.

Adam found himself flat on his stomach pinned to the floor as his mother through herself over him blocking his body with hers despite how much smaller she was.

And then the gunfire stopped.

“Martha! Martha!”

“We’re ok Jim.”

“Jordan.”

“Right here.” The two of them ran into the room David scooping up Jordan and his son, while Jim ran to make sure his wife was ok.

Outside, boots clattered on the porch, and a group of UNSC soldiers burst into the house sweeping their guns over the blood painted walls. They stopped when they saw Adam sitting at the foot of his bed very much alive,

“Delta to Alpha one the package is secure.”

Adam was thinking about asking his mother why no one had told him about the alien invasion.

But then he saw her cradling a shotgun covered in burg blood hair in a wild mess and decided that.

Maybe that was a topic for another time.

The Best 10 Animated Explainer Video Companies 2021- Alpasbox

Animated explainer videos are a great way to communicate ideas online. They're an excellent option for businesses that want to reach their target demographic, but don't have the budget for traditional video production. If you need help finding the best company out there, then this blog post is just what you need! In it, we'll discuss the top 10 animated explainer video companies and provide all of the information you'll need to help find your perfect match. Read on for more details!

Marketing agencies and businesses are constantly looking for new ways to introduce their brands with creativity. Explainer video companies come in handy when a company is at that point, providing gold standards of advertising or classics which can be relied on upon through time periods. However, if the marketing tactic becomes too old-fashioned it will become ineffective- as people grow tired of them over time.

A video is a great way to make your business stand out among the crowd and offer something fresh to customers. Short commercials, marketing videos, product demos, app introductions, or trade show videos – all of these may impress prospective customers even more if you amplify them with eye-catching animation.

If you want to outshine your competitors and create the best video advertising of all time, then why not consider hiring a company that’s specifically an animated explainer video production company? No one is better at challenging conventions in creative ways than these animation geniuses. Here are some examples from this year! Did we mention they have experience working for companies across industries with years of knowledge under their belts?

What are the criteria for choosing an explainer video company?

We know you're eager to see our list of the best explainer video companies, but first, we need to talk about what makes for a great animated video.

· Quality matters. It is important to pay attention to the quality of videos in a portfolio because it's not always easy for you or me as designers, but that simple factor- whether we like them or not - will be our best guide!

· Stand out from the competition with custom designs. If you need a unique and stand-out video that doesn't rely on templates, contact one of our animation companies today for your design needs!

· The best way to choose an explainer video company is by looking for one that has a detailed process, communicates well with its clients, and follows through on all the details. These companies will be willing to go out of their way in order to make sure you get exactly what you want from your video while still delivering quality work.

· Feedback from customers is key to ensuring the success of any company. Reviews can help you make a more informed decision about your business partner, and it's important that they are both genuine and recent!

· It is true that you get what you pay for. So, if a company has the cheapest prices on offer - don't expect to find your perfect piece of art with them! They are probably not skilled enough and must be using their low pricing as bait to draw in more customers who want something they can afford.

Ep 209: The Phantom Horse of Greensboro

And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

– Revelation, Chapter 6, Verse 8, King James Version

Description:

Many of us have taken an adventurous expedition to check out some local, notorious spot to see if we could witness or sense some evidence of a past famous or infamous incident. Most of the time, one only returns with a minor anecdote or pictures of an ordinary location bereft of anything noteworthy. The more realistic purpose is not so much to find a ghoulish memento but to imagine what it must've been like to have been there when it happened. But what if such an outing starts with strange coincidences and ends with the adventurers enduring a paranormal event seemingly unrelated to the original incident? This is the sort of tale we'll hear from our good friend, graphic designer, and illustrator Tommy Beaver about the time some friends went to check out the scene of a horrific crime that happened in Summerfield, North Carolina, almost 13 miles northwest of Greensboro. On June 3, 1985, the incident in question occurred when at the end of a murder spree and police pursuit, Fritz Klenner and his first cousin, lover, and accomplice, Susie Newsome Lynch, ended their standoff detonating a bomb in their Chevrolet Blazer. Klenner and Lynch had blown themselves up along with Lynch's already deceased two sons who were in the vehicle rather than face arrest. The site of this shocking finale was what the friends were hoping to explore, but their souvenir was an unsettling experience they'll never forget. Strangely, a mysterious white horse suddenly appeared to encounter the group, except that this creature may not have been a horse at all. Many people have claimed to see a spectral white horse, and the ancient Britons believed a sacred white horse was one's ride to the afterlife. Yet these friends may forever wonder, as will we, what was the connection of this beast to the tragedy if there is one? And if this wasn't a horse as we know it, what sort of monster haunts the location of one of North Carolina's most ghastly crimes?

Location:

The intersection of Strader Road & North Carolina State Road 150 in Summerfield, near where Fritz Klenner and Susie Newsom Lynch blew themselves up in their Chevy Blazer after a crime spree and police pursuit on June 3, 1985, and where Tommy’s friends saw the mysterious “horse.”

A Stark for sure - Chapter One

A/N: Hey. I posted the prologue at around 2 AM my time and I honestly didn’t think anyone would read it, much less like it! So thank you so much. I hope you enjoy this weird angsty, mysterious (i’m trying to make it be) piece of words. (Also not my gif but creds to the owner.) The next chapter’s gonna be more informative; i promise to give you guys the juicy stuff next.

word count: 1.3k words

---

Manhattan. 2001.

“I can’t be with a man who will love his destructive lifestyle more than his child.” The woman screamed, a hand pointing towards a room at the end of the hall. “God, Tony! Can’t you at least understand why I’m upset?”

Tony blankly stared at her. A simple straight face showcasing no emotion but he was ashamed because he did understand. Last night, he had done what he usually did; paint the town red, spend too much, drink too much, end up in bed with another random woman. “Will you please quiet down?” The man spoke as he stood to get a drink.

Now the lady was seething. A complete contrast to what Anthony Edward Stark knew of her.

Florence. Florence Karla Abreo. A proclaimed neuroscientist and psychologist. Her research and discoveries were known worldwide and awed by many. She was respected for her mind but Anthony respected her for her aura. Her heart. Her kindness. She was his first love. The two had been family friends as their parents were close and happened to live a few blocks away from each in Manhattan. The usual friend-to-lover story; but people change and grow.

“Leave!” Florence cried out and he did. As he walked towards the door and right before he slammed the door, she continued. “I will not keep subjecting myself to this, Tony. You may be the father of my child but I refuse to allow you to ruin Calypso’s childhood.” With that, she broke down in tears before scurrying to grab her things. She moved as if she was running on anxiety. Grabbing bags and stuff only the necessities inside before placing them in the back of her own car. She repeated the action but with her child’s belongings before stopping in front of a door. Breathing slowly to calm herself down, she turned the knob and entered quietly.

Calypso Dmitria Stark. The baby laid in her crib, sleep consumed. Florence sobbed again as she reached the crib, stroking her daughter’s head. “I’m sorry, my love.” The child whined but continued to sleep. She was the female copy of her father in terms of looks. The dark brown hair, brown eyes and when she smiled, you could see that spark only a stark could have.

Florence picked up her daughter while placing an envelope where she once laid. “I’m sorry, Tony.” She spoke to the air. No one could blame her. A mother’s love was one of the strongest things in the universe and a mother’s sacrifice should be the most valued thing. With Calypso in her baby seat and everything in check (their flight to Boston ready), she drove away. Florence drove away from her first and only love, the father of her child, without looking back.

Avengers’ tower. 2016.

Steve Rogers, a.k.a Captain America, sighed as some senator spoke to them about the issue with their latest mission which was utter bullshit as it was just him projecting his opinion and getting him to do what he wants. None of them needed that. It was 2 am as they all sat in those uncomfortable chairs “Well sir, to be quite frank. We saved the world again while you were sleeping with your personal trainer so maybe you should keep your mouth shut.” Beep. The screen went blank as Sam Wilson, a.k.a The Falcon pressed a button on the long table.

A few members laughed and by a few, only Natasha, Bucky and Tony. The others just shook their heads; with Steve sighing loudly. “You can’t just do that, Sam. The asshole is still a government official.”

“The asshole needs to keep his mouth shut, Cap.” Tony took Sam’s side and a disagreement started. Tony and Steve talking over each other with the others either taking sides or being mediators to ensure nothing physical happened.

“Steve. He can’t just tell us what do. We legitimately sav-.” Vision

“It doesn’t matter, honey. You can’t just-.” Wanda

“Guys. Let’s just ca-.’ Bruce

“We just got back from a mission. Can’t this wait?” Rhodey.

“Still. That man was incredibly rude. As the young midgardians say online, he has small penis energy.” Thor

“It’s small DICK energy.” Peter.

It’s still unsure if any of them actually heard any of the others properly. The Avengers were all just talking over the top of each other; some related to the topic while others just babbling on about god knows what.

“Mr. Stark, sir. There’s a call waiting for you.” Jarvis spoke over them all. This didn’t stop them from talking over each other. Tony didn’t seem to care as he continued to argue with Steve, “it’s from a Claypso Abreo. She is being held at precinct 99 in Brooklyn. Do i keep her on hold, sir?”

That name.

Calypso.

Tony froze. His brain stopped working as his eyes shifted to his phone on the table. He gulped before looking at Jame Rhodey. Everyone noticed his reaction; the proclaimed, stubborn, narcissistic jerk they knew froze. “Mr. Stark?” The talking had quietened down.

“Answer it, Tones. Jarvis, keep the kid on hold. Get Happy to come around with the car now please. Also relay this info to Pepper.” Rhodey spoke quickly while gesturing for everyone to leave the room. Confused with this new situation, they all complied and exited. It was times like this that Tony was grateful for having a friend like Rhodey. As he was about to close the door, he spoke again in an encouraging tone. “I’m guessing she’s in trouble so best to answer now.”

Tony hadn’t realised everyone left, still staring at his phone. “Yeah, you’re right...” He dragged his sentence in dread. Wiping his hands on his jeans, he grabbed his phone and answered. Drawing a breath in and quickly whispering, “Calypso?”

“Hey, Dad.” A tiny voice spoke over the phone; an underlying questioning tone included. Tony broke, tears running down his face. Scared. Confused. Anxious. Why was his daughter, that he hadn’t had proper contact with for about 3 years call? She could hear him breathing. “UH, I’m guessing you’re still on. Well I hope you are. But I have no one else to call so if you can just tell Captain Holt here that I’m free to go, i’ll be out of your ha-.”

“I’m coming to get you now.” Tony blurted as he stood. You may not believe this but he loved his daughter. The man would do anything for her. He may not know her but he knew whenever she needed him, rather whenever she asked him, he’d be there.

“Oh. It’s fine, Mr. Stark.”

The man walked through the doors and towards the elevator, oblivious to the stares his teammates were giving him. Calypso. Tony’s reaction. Rhodey’s understanding. The urgency felt. As the elevator doors shut with him in it, Natasha turned to Rhodey who was nursing a drink by the counter. “Calypso?” She asked. Steve, Bucky, Sam, Bruce and her analysed Rhodey. The name made him slightly cringe and shake his head before lifting himself away from the table and towards the stairs.

“She’s...” He froze again and turned to them. “She’s a sensitive topic. It’s not my place to tell.” Resuming his walk to his quarters, the five were left blank. Who was this woman? How can she bring such with her name alone?

The five stood closer to each, whispering the possibilities about this person. “Maybe we should ask Tony.” Bruce spoke up. No matter how many times he disagreed with Tony, he still respected and valued the man. “Rhodes even said that it’s not something he should share. Plus we all saw his reaction.” Bruce insisted they confront Tones carefully and not pry into the situation.

They all nodded but Steve and Natasha gave each other a look. That look that meant ‘yeah-no-we’re-looking-into-this’. They separated, walking to their respected rooms as Sam bluntly spoke, “I’m more confused about some girl being named Calypso...”

another aeroplane, another sunny place

AKA, the final bonus part of shape of you that wasn't posted here, but on wp. very much inspired by michael bublé's song 'home' back in 2017 that i finally finished writing a while ago. technically it can be read as a standalone os since that's how it was originally written as, but it also makes sense in the sofy universe. (just like another os i will post sometime next week that i *also* posted on wp but not on here)

ANYWAYS feel free to ignore if you've read it already, since i'm mostly just posting it here in case i need to reference it later!

may be surrounded by a million people i still feel alone, i just wanna go home

oh, i miss you, you know

He'd been on the road for eight months now.

He was grateful of all the success the Rollerband was getting; a worldwide sold-out tour, thousands of records sold, a renewed signing contract for another three years. He knew he was lucky, and he couldn't deny it.

Career-wise, he was happy, living his rock-star dream. His personal life was a whole different thing.

They say distance makes the heart grow fonder. And it was true, honestly. If he thought he loved his girlfriend before, he knew for sure now that he was ten thousand kilometers away. However, what they don't tell you, it's how hard it can get when such a distance is formed. He hadn't talked to Ámbar, like really talked, in two months.

Their relationship had gotten to an only-texting communication, with hello's and goodnight's texts received every day. The phone calls had reduced to once a week, if that.

It hadn't started that way, though. The first three months consisted of daily three-hours-long video calls, with the occasional visit if uni and her schedule allowed her, then they passed to a one-hour daily cellphone call... now they were lucky they even remembered to put 'i love you' at the end of their texts.

He didn't like it, not one bit. He knew where they were leading; he'd seen it first with Jim and Nico years ago (which was a reason he tried not to date anyone seriously), and then a few months later with Delfi and Pedro. Simón didn't want that for Ámbar and himself.

He checked the time; almost midnight where he was, so it'd only be around 7 PM in Buenos Aires. Her uni classes ended at three, so either she was at the J&R or doing homework.

Deciding he didn't have anything to lose, he pressed 'call' on his phone. Five rings later, she picked up, her beaming face appearing on his screen. Gosh, how he'd missed her.

"Aló, Simón?!" Her voice sounded a little breathy, but overall excited. He had to smile when he heard her. "How are you? I miss you," she sighed wistfully on the other side of the line. The hand she wasn't using to hold the phone went to her hair, twirling a lock away from her face.

"I miss you too," Simón answered, a small smile gracing his lips, "I'm coming home soon, only a couple of weeks more, little gem."

"It feels like too long, but at least it's sooner than eight months," she mumbled, sighing again, "how's Spain? Didn't you have a show tonight?"

"Spain's great, full of life," he remembered the crowd, screaming and singing along, "the show ended an hour ago. I'm feeling a little homesick, I guess," he admitted, "I wish I was there with you."

"Don't," she reprimanded him, shaking her head a little, "you'll be here soon, enjoy tour life while you can."

"That's the thing... I'm not enjoying it anymore." Ámbar went still at this. If it weren't for the tenue sound of music she was listening on her side and that he could hear through the phone, he'd have thought it's freezed on him; when he realized that wasn't the case, he continued. "It's been too long. I miss our bed, I miss waking up next to you, hugging you, kissing you... I miss our dog and I miss our friends. This life... it feels so empty, little gem." He wasn't ashamed to say he was close to tears. He loved touring, giving concerts in different parts of the world, meeting fans all over the globe... those were heavy pros. Simón just wished he'd have more time for his family.

"Don't think like that, Simón, please." She begged him, the little tremble in her voice gave away her emotions, her face had barely moved. Simón knew it was more for his sake than for hers. "I miss you too, so much it hurts sometimes. But this is your dream, love, this is what you've worked so hard for; don't let homesickness stop you from finding joy in what you love the most."

"I'll try, I promise I will. I just... I don't know..."

"I get it, I'm the same sometimes. But you must understand; we're not them, Simón." Her voice turned softer, understanding, and soothing. He loved that about her, that she seemed to know what to say and how to say it without a prompt given. "Do you know why they didn't work out? It's not because they loved each other less, or because the distance was too much. It was the pressure of feeling that if they weren't near each other, if they didn't talk to the other 24/7, their bond would break. It was too much, and it ended up leaving them strained."

"Is this your way of telling me you don't want to talk to me anymore?" he joked, his smile growing as she rolled her eyes.

"You're an idiot." She deadpanned, changing her position on the bed to recline her back on their bedrest. "Seriously, though, do you get what I'm saying?"

"Yes, love. I know I shouldn't care too much about how much we talk as it does not define our relationship but what can I say? I miss you." She grinned at him.

"I miss you, too. I'm always a call away," she promised him, but then she frowned, "unless I'm at class, then sorry, you'll have to talk to my voicemail."

He laughed, "I see how it is, a boring class is way more important than funny me. How's everything over there? How's my princess?"

"Always." She winked at him. "Everything's fine. I had lunch with my mom today, she made mushroom lasagna, I told her already that mushrooms taste like nothing, but she swears they're flavorful; I might go visit my dad tomorrow as well; he's been bugging me about having dinner with him and his family," he absentmindedly scrunched his nose at the mention of the fungi, he hated them, "Toppy is here, I can put you on speaker so you can talk to her, if you want. I can't promise she'll answer, though, she's been giving me an attitude lately."

"An attitude? You're rubbing on her, aren't you? When I get home, I'll come back to two Ámbar's instead of one." He teased her, earning a huff from his girl. "Let me talk to her, I bet she doesn't even recognize my voice anymore."

"You've always been her favorite, she will." She replied softly, and then it was quiet for a couple of seconds, while she took off the earphones' plug from her phone. "Okay, you're on speaker now. Toppy, babe, come greet daddy." Simón waited until he heard a 'thud' – followed by Ámbar adjusting her phone's camera so he could see both his girl and their pet- to speak again.

"Toppy?" Not a sound.

Before he could get sad he got no response, Ámbar spoke. "She's smelling my phone, talk again." She sounded amused, so Simón complied, cheerier this time.

"How's my favorite puppet doing? I heard you're giving mommy a bit of trouble. What happened to my good girl?" He wasn't done with his first question when the barking started, his pup's little whines sounded almost as if she was reprimanding his absence.

"She's missed you." His girlfriend exclaimed over the barking, chuckling at the way Toppy's tail swat rapidly.

"I miss her too." He sighed again, "I miss you both a lot."

"Just a few more weeks." She reminded him, her smile and tone wistful as she tried to contain the pup's wriggling body. He had to smile at that.

"Just a few more weeks." He echoed, the underlying promise loud to their ears. "I love you."

"I love you too." She paused for a second, before speaking again, "now please go to sleep, you look like you died a week ago." Simón laughed at that, but he knew better than to fight her when she was trying to take care of him.

"I'll call you tomorrow, alright?"

His words were met with a grin. "Not if I text you first. I love you so much, Simón."

"I love you more, little gem. Take care, okay? I'll see you as soon as I can." She sent him a kiss through the phone, before disconnecting the call. He stared at the screen for a couple of minutes, before the 'low battery' notification popped up and he had to charge it. The call left him feeling much better, so he decided to go to bed already.

Just a few more weeks ran like a mantra trough his mind, soothing his fears and anxiety. Just a few more weeks and I'll be home.

Fresh Artist Fridays: Nicky Jam

This week’s Fresh Artist Friday comes with a twist. Today we are featuring Nicky Jam, a Puerto Rican reggaeton artist hailing from Boston, MA. He has just dropped his sixth studio album called INFINITY. Check out a break down of both the album and Nicky Jam’s impressive career below:

INFINITY is Nicky Jam’s most versatile album yet, taking the listener on a trip through all the genres he has mastered throughout his career. Starting with a bang, bringing his old school reggaetón sound to the forefront — yet feeling very current — the album then portrays all the different facets of Nicky’s artistry, from the raw and real rap verses to the romantic and melodic slow-tempo songs that really showcase his singing voice.

INFINITY begins with “Magnum,” an ode to old school reggaetón with a 2021 feel that will make the listener dive into the beats and rhythms and let go of their inhibitions. The track features one of “la nueva’s” (the new generation of reggaetón) most prolific voices, Jhay Cortez, adding his unmistakable style to make this meeting of two generations iconic.

“Tell me what are you going to do because I’m looking for someone who can drive it // I’m going to do to you whatever you let me // And the Magnum that protects me down below // To go all night so you don’t complain,” Nicky begins this cheeky song, while getting the listener in the mood for more, before Jhay Cortez disrupts with his unapologetic verse telling it like it is.

The music video, directed by Ariel Navarrete “NAVS” and produced by Maite Calzacorta with The Way Films, takes place in an underground party where people just enjoy the moment and live with no regrets. Throughout, flashes of both Nicky and Jhay singing on a stage are shown, matching their physical energy to the unparalleled vibes of the song, creating a visual orgasm for a track that is nothing like we’ve ever heard from the two artists.

Following “Magnum” on the album, Nicky Jam tones it down with “Miami” (6 million YouTube views), a slow-tempo romantic reggaeton that talks about missing a woman he met in Miami and the great times they had together. He then slowly turns the beat up again with “Te Hace Falta,” and “Celosa,” which features tropical vibes fused with urban sounds.

Then it’s the turn for “Se De y Se Da,” a more commercial reggaetón where Nicky asks his love interest for forgiveness, alluding that he wants to fix things and give the relationship another try. The track is followed by Nicky Jam and El Alfa’s explosive collaboration “Pikete” (14 million YouTube views), which tells the story of a woman who seems unattainable because of her beauty and attitude.

“Clavo” is up next with a more melodic tune, toning it down a bit to give way to “Te Invito” featuring up-and-coming artist Rios, which starts out as a ballad until the beat drops almost a minute into the song, transforming into a slow-tempo reggaetón that really highlights both artists distinctive voices.

Nicky Jam takes advantage of the mood to give way to “DM” featuring Manuel Turizo, which gets a bit sexier and more mysterious, talking about sliding into a woman’s DMs and trying to seduce her. “Guayaa” follows the story, as if Nicky were telling the listeners that he got the woman, and now they’re dancing, twerking, and having fun, to then give way to “Polvo,” featuring Myke Towers (93 million YouTube views), reminiscing of the fun times that ended, with a potential to reignite the flame.

The temperature rises with “Playa,” then the album takes a seductive turn with “Dándote,” to then surprise the listeners with “Melancolía,” a ballad where Nicky puts his vocal range to full display. He then ends with “Fan De Tus Fotos” featuring The King of Bachata Romeo Santos, a subtle reggaetón full of sensuality and rhythm with Romeo’s unique voice and Nicky’s distinctive flow, wrapping up Nicky’s most diverse, yet authentic project to date.

Besides the album, Nicky Jam also announced his upcoming INFINITY TOUR 2022. This will be Nicky Jam’s first official tour post-pandemic that will hit major cities across the United States and Canada. The tour will kick off in Boston on February 3, 2022, and end in Seattle on March 27, 2022 with stops in New York, Atlanta, Chicago, Toronto, Montreal, Orlando, Houston, Hidalgo, Ontario, Los Angeles, and San Jose.

ARTIST BIO:

Nick Rivera Caminero, Nicky Jam, is one of the pioneers of Reggaeton in the world. At the age of 11 he recorded his first album called "Diferente a los Demás." Nicky Jam reached the top of his career by achieving several radio hits such as: "Yo no Soy tu Marido," "Me voy Pal Party," "Fiel a tu Piel," "La Combi Completa," among others, that led him to travel the world and become one of the greatest international exponents of the genre. He was forced to stop his career for 3 years due to personal problems. But in 2013, he debuted his new look and came back stronger than ever. He scored five hits on the radio: "Piensas en Mí," "Curiosidad," "Juegos Prohibidos," "Voy a Beber," and the global hit "Travesuras." In February 2015, Nicky Jam teamed up with Enrique Iglesias to release "El Perdón," his most internationally acclaimed single to date. “El Perdón” reached #1 on Billboard's Hot Latin Songs chart for 30 weeks (the second longest single in chart history).

EXTENDED BIO:

Nick Rivera Caminero, known as Nicky Jam, is recognized around the world as a pioneer of Latin Urban music. Born in 1981 in Boston, he moved with his family to Puerto Rico when he was just a boy. At the age of 11, he recorded his first album “Diferente a Los Demás” (Different From the Rest), which attracted the attention of DJs and artists on the island.

As a young adult, Nicky Jam quickly rose to the top of his genre with radio hits including “Yo No Soy Tu Marido,” “Me Voy Pa’l Party,” “Fiel A Tu Piel,” and “La Combi Completa,” among others. He toured the world and became one of Latin urban music’s first international stars.

Just as he was enjoying his hard-earned accomplishments, his life took a 180-degree turn. Suddenly, instead of being on stage, he was in prison, and he fell into a deep depression. Finally, after three years out of the limelight, Nicky Jam performed a show in Colombia. There, he found an audience that was ready to give him a second chance. He vowed to show his fans that he had escaped drugs and alcohol. With discipline and hard work, he began to make up for lost time.

He soon decided to move to Colombia to rebuild his career. In 2012, he created a low-budget music video that went on to rack up over 15 million views on YouTube. In 2013, he debuted his new image and returned stronger than ever. He notched five radio hits: “Piensas en Mí,” “Curiosidad,” “Juegos Prohibidos,” “Voy a Beber,” and the global hit “Travesuras.” At the time, “Travesuras” was Nicky’s international comeback hit, and after a 10-year absence from the charts, it peaked at #4 on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs. His social media following grew 3000 percent by late 2014, making him one of Latin urban music’s most talked-about and respected artists.

In February 2015, Nicky Jam teamed up with Enrique Iglesias to release “El Perdón,” his most internationally acclaimed single to date. Tallying over 1 million YouTube views on the day of its release, “El Perdón” was #1 on Billboard’s Hot Latin songs charts for 30 weeks (second longest-running single in the chart’s history). An English version, titled “Forgiveness,” helped the song peak at No. 56 on the Billboard Hot 100 in September 2015.

In January 2016, Nicky released “Hasta el Amanecer,” which also became the biggest Latin song of the year. The single was #1 on Billboard’s “Hot Latin Songs” for 18 weeks, which was the longest run of 2016. The official music video reached 100 million views in the first month, averaging over 3 million views per day. It also scored the No. 1 year-end spot on the Latin Airplay, Latin Pop Airplay, Latin Rhythm Airplay, Latin Rhythm Digital Song Sales, and Latin Digital Song Sales charts. A remix featuring Daddy Yankee and an English version (“With You Tonight”) helped the song stay 19 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 (peaking at No. 73).

In 2017, Nicky Jam released “El Amante,” and his very first solo album, Fenix. The single quickly became an international hit, reaching 7X platinum status. The album also enjoyed quite the success, achieving 11 platinum certifications worldwide.

Entering 2018, Nicky Jam began to conquer new territories in his artistic career. His songs achieved more than 14.5 billion views on YouTube and 1.1 billion streams on Spotify.

The singles obtained recognition in the most important Latin music awards, including the prestigious Latin Grammy, achieving nominations in categories such as Record of the Year, Best Urban Song of the Year and Best Tropical Song of the Year.

His collaboration with the single “Te Boté” featuring Casper Mágico, Nio García, Darell, Bad Bunny, and Ozuna became a worldwide phenomenon.

Additionally, Nicky Jam had the honor of recording and performing the official song for the 2018 FIFA World Cup “Live It Up,” featuring Will Smith and Era Istrefi. His undeniable success in the music industry earned him two Latin Billboard Awards that year in the categories Top Latin Album of the Year and Latin Rhythm Album of the Year (Fenix).

Nicky Jam also dabbled in the fashion industry, becoming a brand ambassador for the elegant and prestigious watch brand Hublot.

The Latin idol showed the world his acting side with his autobiographical series “El Ganador.” Telemundo joined the giant Netflix in the creation of a series that tells the story of how the superstar came to be. The series trended in Latin American, Spain and the US at the time of its release in early 2019.

2019 was also a year of vast success for the singer. Nicky worked with some of the biggest names in the industry, such as Sech, Anuel, Ozuna, Ñejo, and others, collaborating in the production of the most-played songs of the year, generating millions of streams on all digital platforms. His tour "Sorry USA Tour 2019" was a total success, with sold-out tickets in 13 different theatres nationwide.
