I'm sorry I can't watch the new trigun and I never will. it looks so ugly. the vibe is no where near the same and it takes away 90% of the charm of the original and makes it into something totally different. I feel like theyre giving it the sports anime treatment where they're banking on twinkification selling lots. like a yaoi head trap.

The Homo-Bomb - Conclusion
(Though this is a wrap-up to the series, I may go back and add more parts to it that are set before this in the future!)
(Make sure to read the ➡️ Prologue ⬅️ first and the other interviews linked with it!)
Wavell hovered quietly over the town of Bellmare, eyes closed and arms crossed as if he were meditating. Over the last couple days he’d interviewed hundreds of people that’d been caught in the magic of his Homo-Bomb in an effort to examine its effectiveness and more notably the anomalies that came with it. By now he already had a good theory as to what had made these anomalies to occur in the first place but he was waiting for his partner to return so they could compare notes in case he’d stumbled across anything interesting that Wavell himself hadn’t.
“Hey! Babe!” Shouted a familiar voice not far in the distance.
Wavell opened his eyes and looked down at the town below to see none other than his boyfriend flying up towards him with a grin. He unfolded his arms and smiled seeing Dane soar through the sky. After a few lessons he’d really taken to flight like a fish to water. The hunk twirled and looped through the air whilst laughing and cheering like a kid on a rollercoaster.
Eventually Dane flew over to his handsome older boyfriend with a stilly cheery look upon his face. “Wow. I don’t think I’m ever going to get over this. Flying is so much fun!” He claimed
The silver haired warlock cocked an eyebrow. “Is that why you didn’t teleport here?”
“Well uhm… no not exactly.” Dane chuckled nervously with a slight blush. “Come onnn Chris. Teleporting is so difficult but flying is so easy and fun.” He explained, referring to Wavell with his current body’s name. “I don’t know how you do it so easily. Every time I try I just end up somewhere random that I don’t wanna be. I try to go to Germany and I end up in Japan. I try to go to Russia and I end up in France. I try to go to Spain and I end up in Egypt!” He complained, thinking back over all his failed teleportation attempts. “I’m afraid if I try it again I’ll end up on the Moon or worse!”
“You’re not gonna teleport yourself to the Moon or Mars or anywhere else other than Earth.” Wavell reassured before teleporting behind Dane and putting a hand on his shoulder. “The magic you hold isn’t strong enough yet to carry you off planet.” He added, making the comment sound somewhat backhanded. “All it takes is practice. Keep trying and eventually you’ll get it right. You used to be a teacher didn’t you? I’d have thought you’d know that much.”
Dane pouted. “Well Magic and Math aren’t exactly the same thing you know. You’re used to it. You’ve had magic your whole life. It’s basically instinct for you. I’m just borrowing magic from you…”
“Not as much as you think.” Wavell muttered as one of his hands moved around Dane’s torso to squeeze one of his thick pecs.
Dane glanced over his shoulder, looking at Wavell quizzically. “And what’s that supposed to mean?”
The warlock simply hummed in an amused manner before kissing his boyfriend’s neck. “Don’t worry about it. For now let’s focus on this Homo-Bomb stuff.” He floated around to face Dane directly. “I trust you have plenty of notes to compare against mine from the people you’ve seen?”
Right away the hunk’s face lit up once more. “Ohhhh yeah! Tons!”
“Well let’s head home to compare shall we?” Wavell gave that trademark smirk of his before flicking his wrist and teleporting them both away in a spire of purple smoke.
———
Back at the mansion, Wavell sat behind the desk in his study as Dane pulled up another chair so he could sit across from his boyfriend.
“So let’s see it then. Whatcha got for me?” Wavell asked.
Tumblr media
Dane smirked as he reached inside his jacket to pull out a tablet that’d been strapped in tight so it didn’t fall out whilst he was flying. “I wrote down all my notes from the interviews on here. Got some pretty interesting ones too!” He put it down and slid it across the table towards the suited man. “And what about you? Find anything weird?”
Without a word Wavell held out his hand and in a small puff of smoke, a notepad appeared in his grasp. “Quite a few things, yes. I have it all written down here.” He did the same as Dane, placing the notepad on the table before sliding it across.
“Just a regular old notepad?” Dane chuckled. “You could probably catalogue stuff better on a tablet you know.”
Wavell shrugged. “What can I say? I’m an old soul. Can’t go wrong with a trusty pen and paper.” He argued though Dane couldn’t help but feel it was partially the influence of Wavell’s middle aged silver fox body. “Right. Let’s get to it shall we? I’ll read over your notes, you read over mine. When we’re done we’ll compare and compile everything we found out.” Wavell then reached across the desk to grab his glasses before slipping them on. He didn’t actually need them but it was a force of habit, another influence from Chris’ body.
The pair took their time to scan through each other's notes. Wavell scrolled through Dane’s tablet, seeing how he’d categorised his studies into standard homo-bomb cases where the expected changes were made and unusual cases where the homo-bomb had different or additional effects. Meanwhile Dane flipped through Wavell’s notepad to see that he’d colour coded it. His regular cases had blue stars next to them, the cases where additional effects took place had purple stars while the cases where something completely unexpected happened had red stars. It was simple but easy to follow.
Once they’d both had time to read through the other’s findings and discuss them a little, they decided to compare. It seemed that despite the various anomalies, the majority of cases had the intended results. Straight men in the town being targeted by the homo-bomb and being turned gay. This accounted for just under 80% of the results which on its own sounds like a lot but considering the sheer amount of people that were affected, that still left well over a hundred anomalies, big or small.
The anomalies spanned from a multitude of different things. To begin there were anomalies that were only minor changes that both Wavell and Dane encountered. These would usually be straight men that had been turned gay as per the homo-bombs initial intention however they might also show a change in their physical or mental attributes. A very common physical change that was noted was how many men experienced slight to extreme penis growth. Some even going from what would be considered below average to extremely hung. Others also experienced things like beard or body hair growth that they’d previously not been capable of, increases in height, changes to their facial structure, larger hands and/or feet and more. In terms of mental changes the most common was increasing confidence to varying degrees but things like general intelligence and improved motivation were also frequently noted.
There were also cases that took these to a more extreme degree by perhaps experiencing multiple physical changes or ones that were more pronounced. For example there were a large handful of men that experienced things such as significant muscle growth alongside increased height and body hair all at once. Changes that were so intense that they looked like completely different people afterwards. In this vein there were also a small group of people that changed race. Three white men and one asian man became black, one white man became asian, two black men and one asian man became white and lastly one other white man became latino.
Then there were the weirder cases. Ones where the homo-bomb went completely against what it was planned to do. Deviating so much that you’d think these people had an entirely different spell cast upon them. Some of these cases included a few straight women being affected, a demographic the homo-bomb was never programmed to affect. However instead of flipping their sexualities, it flipped their genders instead and transformed them into men. Cocks, beards, muscles and sharp features replacing their formerly feminine bodies.
Adding to the strange cases, there were also two instances where men’s bodies had transformed in a way to look identical to another man in their lives. Becoming their twin in a sense. In one of these cases the man who transformed to become a twin of someone else was already a gay man so, like the straight women, the homo-bomb shouldn’t have even targeted him to begin with. And yet it did.
This seemed to happen a few times with men that were already gay. The homo-bomb should’ve left them alone but instead it decided to latch onto them and make changes. In most cases these were simple physical changes once again like changes to their size and muscle mass as well as their features and more. However there were two men in particular, one encountered by Wavell and the other by Dane, who had originally been gay and the homo-bomb had flipped their sexualities to make them straight instead. Quite literally doing the exact opposite of what it was supposed to do.
Wavell used a little magic to print Dane’s digital notes into physical form on paper while also deconstructing his notepad to pull apart the pages so that they almost looked like large post it notes. With that he compiled all of their notes neatly on the desk before them in organised sectors before ushering Dane to come round to his side of the desk,
“Alright so on this side we have the successful cases.” Wavell pointed towards the right side of his desk where the majority of his and Dane’s notes were stacked neatly in a couple of piles. “All straight men that were simply turned gay by the homo-bomb as planned.”
He then nodded towards the middle of the desk. “Here are all the semi-successful cases. Straight men that were turned gay but also experienced other changes along with it.”
Finally Wavell gestured towards the left side of the desk were only a handful of notes from each of them sat. “And other that side are the unsuccessful cases where the homo-bomb affected people in completely unprecedented and unintentional ways.”
The warlock leaned back in his comfortable leather chair before glancing over his shoulder at Dane. “So what do you think? What caused all of these anomalies?” he asked. “I’ve already got a pretty good idea as to how and why this happened but I want to hear what you think.”
Dane took a step towards the desk and glanced over the notes again. “Well… my first thought was that your homo-bomb wasn’t ready right? You said yourself that it was a prototype, didn't you? Maybe it just has some kinks to work out? Or, kinks to work in perhaps.” He sniggered. After all it wasn’t as if these anomalies weren’t incredibly exciting to see and explore. “Though I can’t think as to what in particular would cause such a wide variety of deviations. I mean the same spell that was meant to turn straight men gay also turned some women into men! Why would it do that?” Dane scratched his chin in thought, trying to think of a possible link between some of these vastly different changes.
“You know I thought the same thing at first. That is until I noticed a certain trend between each and every one of these deviations.” Wavell twiddled with the pencil in his hand before slipping it on his ear. “I’m surprised you haven’t seen it yourself.”
“A trend? But I don’t…”
Wavell tapped two different cases on the table. One being the case of a man that’d not only become gay but also changed races going from being a white man to being black while the other case was that of an already gay twink who grew into a huge muscle daddy with a newfound desire for dominance. “What do these two cases have in common? I’ll give you a hint, it’s not the transformation itself.”
Dane looked down perplexed. Besides both being caused by the homo-bomb, what other things did these cases have in common? Other than them both being men before the homo-bomb struck, he couldn’t think of much. “I don’t get it. What am I not seeing right now?”
“Re-read the notes. Look over the parts where the subjects describe their feelings towards their transformations.” Wavell took the two cases and handed them to Dane.
Now with the cases in hand, Dane did as Wavell suggested and scanned through the notes yet again. This time focusing on the feelings of the subjects. The white guy who’d become black. When describing his physical transformation stated how he’d never felt truly comfortable as himself before and had always desired to be like the black men he surrounded himself with. The gay twink who became a hairy daddy. He mentioned that he always had a deep sexual desire towards hairy daddies just like the one he’d become. That was it. It had to be! “It’s their desire! The anomalies caused by the homo-bomb were actually its magic granting the deep desires of those wrapped in its magic!”
The warlock nodded. “My thoughts exactly.” He gestured towards the array of cases that weren’t fully successful. “You can point to any one of these cases and the subjects being interviewed all hint towards the same thing. That whatever find of transformation they went through was something they’d desired. The women that switched genders wanted to be men. The men who grew beards and body hair always wanted to be hairier. The men who grew bigger cocks always wished to have bigger packages. It all leads back to desire.”
“Yeah I see it now! That has to be the connection between them.” Dane placed the two cases back with others. “But that said, do we really know why your homo-bomb started doing this? Granting desires instead of just doing what it was supposed to do?”
Wavell placed his elbows on the desk before interlocking his finger and resting his bearded chin upon them. “You already said it yourself. The homo-bomb just likely wasn’t ready yet. There’s probably some kinks I need to work out to tighten the spell some more.”
Of course that was one reason. But Dane knew Wavell. That couldn’t have been the only reason right? Even if the homo-bomb was a prototype, his boyfriend was far too clever for it to only have an 80% success rate. There was something more and Dane already had an idea as to what it was. He’d noticed it on the night Wavell enacted the spell.
“You know I could be wrong but… on the night you launched the homo-bomb, you were still Kyle Wavell.” Dane began, capturing the warlock’s attention. “You admitted yourself that when you’re in the form your magic can get a little sloppy at times. And you did seem a little… how do I put this? Trigger happy when you launched that spell.”
Wavell was silent for a moment before answering. “I wasn’t sloppy.” There was a small twinge of annoyance in his voice. “Not with a spell like that. Even as Kyle I made sure to perform it exactly as I’d planned.”
Dane placed his hands on Wavell's shoulders, rubbing them gently. “Well maybe it was something else then? All I’m saying is that I don’t think the spell not being perfect was the only problem. After all, lots of unsuccessful subjects weren’t even supposed to be targeted in the first place and yet they were even if they were outliers.” He reasoned. “Why would the homo-bomb do its job correctly for the most part but then deviate in some rare cases to the extent that it did? Sure some straight guys growing a few extra pounds of muscle after being turned gay is one thing but women being targeted and turned into men as well as already gay men being targeted specifically to do a physical transformation? Why would your magic do that?”
The silver fox sighed as he leaned back into the admittedly very nice massage Dane was giving him. “Well it wasn’t me being careless but… I think you might be right in terms of it being something to do with my other self.” He glanced down at his hands, currently still in the form of Chris Wavell of course. “When I’m like this I feel calm and composed so it stands to reason that my magic acts the same.” He then thought to his other self. Kyle Wavell. The version of Wavell when he takes on the form of the young hunky meathead he also absorbed. “But when I’m Kyle I’m… more erratic. The cockiness that comes with that body makes me brash and even chaotic at times.” He smiled as he closed his eyes. “That’s why I love it so much. It’s the perfect way to balance out this form.”
“Chaotic…” Dane lingered on that word. That’s when it hit him. “Wait. You said that when you’re like this, when you’re Chris, your magic is just as calm as you are right? So what if the same applies to Kyle! What if your magic becomes just as chaotic as you do when you’re Kyle!”
Wavell blinked. “Hm. You could be right.” He mumbled.
“I’ve gotta be! Your magic wasn’t just transforming people you’d targeted beyond their sexualities but it was also randomly latching onto people that it shouldn’t have to cause even more unnecessary changes. To cause more chaos! It makes sense!” Dane was grinning ear to ear after having such an epiphany.
The warlock looked down at his hands. “I’ve never known my magic to deviate like this when I’m in that form but then again I’ve never performed a spell like that on such a mass scale before either. I suppose it stands to reason that when unleashed in such a high volume and left to its own devices, my magic could act in a more chaotic manner in accordance with my personality when casting it.” It wasn’t something Wavell had ever considered but he had to admit Dane could most certainly be right. If anything it seemed like the most logical explanation. It was almost a little embarrassing that he hadn’t thought of it himself.
Wavell took off his glasses before getting up from his chair. “It’s certainly a compelling theory. Though of course it’s still just a theory. I’ll have to do some more testing myself to see if there’s any merit to what you’re saying.” He explained. “That said, I think you’re right. Even as a prototype there’s no way I could’ve cast that homo-bomb so poorly as to create that many deviations. It’s simply not a possibility.” Wavell claimed, thinking very highly of himself as usual. “Regardless, these anomalies did make for a very interesting experiment don’t you think?”
“For sure! I had a ton of fun seeing all the weird and wacky things your crazy magic did to people.” Dane beamed. “I’m just jealous you got to interview that one guy who was a merge of two people! That sounds just amazing! A small nerdy guy and a big jock fusing to become one huge hunk? I can’t even begin to imagine how hot that would’ve been to see.”
Wavell laughed. “We’ll have to go visit him sometime. I’ll get him to show you the video recording he has of the night it happened. I have no doubt you’ll be wanting a copy of it to watch in your spare time.”
“If it’s as hot as you described it in your notes then absolutely.”
Having reviewed all of their cases in the little experiment, Wavell waved a hand over the table causing the notes to start flying around before all stacking themselves neatly on the side of his desk. “I’ll find a place for them later. Right now though how’s about you and I blow off some steam? A little celebration for a job well d-.” The warlock hardly had a chance to finish before he was cut off by a pair of lips smashing against his own
“Mmmm sorry. You’re just so gorgeous I couldn’t help myself.” Dane swooned as he reached around and groped Wavell’s perky ass. “I know you usually like to top or switch but after practically solving the reason behind the deviations, don't you think I deserve a little reward? Like maybe… you being a total bottom for the next couple hours as I destroy that perfect bubble ass of yours?” Dane smirked a little, showing a more confident and dominant side to himself that didn’t come out all too often as he gave Wavell’s ass a quick smack through his tight suit pants.
Tumblr media
Wavell, amused by this, couldn’t help agreeing. “Fine. I suppose you do deserve a little something. I probably wouldn’t have come to that conclusion without you so…” He leaned in and gave Dane another quick kiss before whispering. “For the next few hours my ass belongs to you.”
With that Dane didn’t waste any time in reaching around Wavell’s body and quite literally sweeping him off his feet, getting quite the chuckle out of the older man. Dane then proceeded to carry Wavell out of the study and towards the bedroom where he was going to have his way with the warlock. Smirking down at his handsome boyfriend knowing damn well he wasn’t going to stop punishing Wavell’s cocky ass until he’d been filled to the brim with cum. It wasn’t often he could convince Wavell to be a complete bottom so he was definitely going to make the most out of it.

When it rains, it pours.
My first collab with the awesome @goldenempyrean! I had tons of fun writing this with them so I hope you enjoy! (Lmk if you want a part 2!)
Pairings: Lizzie x you
Words: 2702
Warnings: none
Summary: Lizzie had stormed out of the house and straight into the pouring rain of the ongoing downpour…that really couldn’t have been good for her health. Luckily she had you there to take care of her.
Tumblr media
As the rain battered loudly against the windows, you knew something was wrong. Lizzie had been quiet all evening, barely touching her dinner and avoiding eye contact with you for the whole of your meal despite you trying to engage her in conversation whilst simultaneously trying to figure out what was wrong - because something definitely was.
Then you made your mistake. It was one snide comment. Something so trivial. Any other day she would’ve smirked and thrown back a witty come back right back towards you…but not this time.  
Instead she suddenly stood up, “No, absolutely not. Fuck this.” She hissed, her eyes burning daggers into you as she accidentally over her glass before marching straight towards out of the kitchen and towards the entrance to your home. Without another word, she flung open the main door and stormed out into the pouring rain outside, not bothering to stop and grab her coat before slamming the door closed behind her with a heavy thud.
“What the f-“ A loud crack of thunder had interrupted your curse as the bright flash of lightning briefly illuminated the dark sky outside before the already heavy rain began to violently beat down against the windows.
You found yourself cursing again, this time for another reason. Lizzie can’t be outside in that weather. There were a million reasons but most of all, it just wasn’t safe, especially not when you’d had severe weather warnings all week long. Without a second thought, you rushed to grab your coat and car keys before hurrying outside to go find your wife.
The heavy rain on the windshield of your car obscures your vision despite the window wipers going at full speed. You could barely see two foot in front of you, and you’d lost count of just how many times you’ve had to quickly slam your foot onto the break to prevent an accident.  
Half an hour had passed since your wife had stormed out of the house, and despite your best efforts, you were no closer to finding her than you were when you'd first started.  
Your concern had now grown to the point of being almost frantic, and despite your best efforts to blink them away, salty tears had begun to steadily stream down your cheeks.  
Where in the heck was she?  
Deciding you'd have better luck on foot, you pull your car off to the side of the road before climbing out. You were almost immediately soaked by the torrential downpour, and your mind instantly drifts back to Lizzie. She'd been out in the rain a lot longer than you had, so you could only imagine what state she'd be in when you find her.  
Almost like God himself had heard your silent prayer, the familiar green of the hoodie she had put on this morning catches your eye from a few hundred years away. Her small figure seemed to be slumped defeatedly beneath a tree, and you blindly grab her coat from the passenger seat before quickly making your way over to her.  
"Oh honey," you murmur once you get close enough. She was absolutely soaked to the bone; clothing saturated, hair plastered to either side of her face and her bottom lip visibly trembling.  
Lizzie looks up at you, eyes shiny with what you could only assume were unshed tears. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't..."  She trails off, seemingly insure on what she could say to make the situation better, and you shook your head dismissively as you crouched down and place the thick coat over her shoulders.  
She seemed to instinctively curl into the warmth, allowing you reach forward and brush a soaked strand of hair out of her face.  
"Let's go home, okay?" You murmured as you trailed the pad of your thumb over the wet skin, and Lizzie could only nod.
You stood up and hold out your hand for her to take. Lizzie seemed to hesitate for a moment before placing her small hand in yours, and you gently tugged her up to her feet. She leant heavily against you as you begin to walk back to the car, and you wrap an arm around her waist to steady her, not wanting her to slip on the muddy grass.
The journey back to your house is silent, the only sounds being the seemingly endless supply of raindrops hitting against the windshield along with the soft sniffles coming from your wife in the passenger seat. You're not entirely sure what had caused her to react so strongly earlier, but you know that you need to give her the space and time she needs to work through it. The last thing you wanted to do was to make things worse.
As you pull into your driveway, you turn off the car's engine and sit in silence for a few moments. Lizzie is still leaning against you the window, and you can see her still trembling slightly.  
"Come on," you say softly, giving her a gentle nudge so she’d look up and realise that you were home, "Let's get inside and dry off. This weather’s nasty."
Lizzie nodded wordlessly, and you both make your way inside the house. As soon as you're through the door, you headed straight to the bathroom, where you start running a warm bath for her.
"Here," you said, passing Lizzie a towel. "Get out of those wet clothes, and I'll bring you something dry to wear."
Lizzie nodded again, taking the towel from you and disappearing into the bathroom. You could hear the sound of running water as you headed to the bedroom to find some dry clothes for her.
When you return to the bathroom, Lizzie is already in the bath, the warm water enveloping her. She looks up as you enter, and for a moment, you both just stare at each other.
"I'm sorry," Lizzie said finally, her voice barely above a whisper. "I don't know what came over me."
"It's okay," you reply, sitting down on the edge of the bath. As you sat beside her, you couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt for your snide remark earlier. You had no idea what was going on with her, and you should have been more supportive instead of adding to her stress.  
But you also couldn’t have known how she was feeling due to the fact she’d refused to talk to you, so you knew neither one of you were solely to blame.  
“What happened?” You ask, making your voice as unaccusing as possible.  
Lizzie sighs as she lays her head against the back of the tub. “It was nothing. Not really. I was just having a bad day. A build up of lots of things, you know?” She tentatively flickers her eyes over at you, and you find yourself nodding in understanding. You reach out and grab her hand that had been resting on the side on the tub, allowing her fingers to tangle with her own.  
“I’m sorry if my comment made it worse. I didn’t mean to do that.” You apologise, and Lizzie nods appreciatively as she sits up. When she holds out her other hand, you lean closer and allow her to cup your cheek. She trails the pad of her thumb over the skin before lightly tugging you forward, and you couldn’t help but smile when she places her lips against your own.
You allowed it to linger for a little while before pulling away, the corners of your lips quirked up into an endearing grin. “You’re cute. Want me to wash your hair?”
Lizzie lets out a content sigh as she nods her head, and you watch as she skinks back into the water to wet her hair before reaching for the shampoo. A comfortable silence falls upon you as you work on washing her hair, your finger tips grazing soothingly over her scalp. Lizzie hums contently at the action, and you couldn’t help but smile at the sound as you press a chaste kiss to her forehead before grabbing the shower head.  
Soon, you were both tucked up in bed, Lizzie’s smaller frame curled up against your own. You could feel her soft breath hitting your neck as she slowly succumbs to sleep. Although today had been rough, you were glad to end it like this. Tucked up in bed with your favourite person in the whole entire world.
You’d slept well that night and had woken up with Lizzie still curled into up into you – that was always a lovely thing to wake up too and it had started your morning perfectly.
As you slowly opened up your eyes fully, you noticed that the bedroom was being dimly lit by the soft glow of the morning sun peeking through the blinds, the previous night’s storm having blown over leaving behind a calm, blue sky in its place. Your gaze then travelled over down to your Lizzie again as she lay curled up, buried deep under the covers. She was adorable... But it was as you were admiring how cute she looked in that moment that you noticed how she was breathing heavier than usual, her chest rising and falling in an uneven rhythm.
Concerned, you gently placed your hand on her forehead and immediately felt the heat radiating from her skin, unfortunately it seemed the action had stirred her a little as she groaned groggily as she began to slowly wake up.
You didn’t even have time to voice your concerns before Lizzie’s head was suddenly ducking forward into your chest with two sudden sneezes.
“EiiTSHHHu! Hhih- Hih-! HiiTSHHIEW!”
“Goodness, that’s a new way of saying goodmorning,” You chuckled, pretending not to notice Lizzie rubbing her nose against your shirt – in her defence, the poor woman was barely awake, her eyes were still shut slightly as she tried to wake up properly. She was really the cutest person in the world and even the fact that she'd just sneezed on you and rubbed it all over you didn't change that.
“Bless you, by the way.”  
Lizzie let out a soft groan as she shifted slightly, trying to get comfortable again. You could tell that she was feeling miserable, her body shivering slightly despite the warmth of the blankets.
She groaned again and snuggled deeper into your embrace, desperate for some warmth. “Thanks,” she muttered hoarsely, her voice thick with a noticeable congestion before she broke off to turn away and cough weakly against her arm, grimacing a little afterwards at the pain in her chest.
"Baby..." Lizzie sniffled as she turned back towards you and buried her face back against your chest. "I don't feel very well." She croaked, her voice awfully sounding scratchy and hoarse.
You nodded knowingly as you began to comb your fingers through her slightly tangled hair. “Yeah, the sneezes kind of gave that away,” you teased lightly, and Lizzie gave you an unimpressed look as she brung her hand up to rub at her itchy nose.
“Sorry baby,” you murmured apologetically, leaning down to press a kiss against her rather warm forehead. “Are you up some some food? I don’t really want to give you any medicine on an empty stomach.” 
Before Lizzie could even begin to answer you, her breath hitched and she was stifling another sneeze into your chest, “Hitshhiew!” She let out a quiet groan knowing she was in for a long day. 
“Bless you honey.” You pressed a soft kiss to her forehead. “I’ll go get you some fruit or something, okay?” 
Lizzie nodded with wet sniffle, and you made a mental note to also grab her a box of tissues as you climbed out of bed and shrug on a hoodie. 
The cold hit you the second your feet hit the tiled floor on the bottom of the staircase, and you shivered slightly as you head through to the kitchen. After turning on the light and washing your hands, you made quick work of preparing Lizzie some warm oatmeal, topping it with strawberries and blueberries. 
Placing the bowl on a tray along with some cough medicine, Tylenol, a bottle of water and a box of tissues, you made your way back upstairs and nudged the bedroom open with your hip. Lizzie was just as you’d left her, and you couldn’t help but smile at the sight as you set the tray down onto the nightstand. 
“I brought you oatmeal.” You greeted her with a soft smile as you climbed back into bed and held open your arms. 
Lizzie sniffles softly as she curls up against your side, “Yummy.” She murmured, voice sounding full of congestion. 
You pouted softly at the sound as you reached for the oatmeal, scooping out a small spoonful and blowing on it to make sure it wasn’t too hot before holding it to her lips. She accepted it with a soft hum or content, and it told you that whatever illness she had hadn’t yet taken away her ability to taste. 
“Good?” You asked, preparing another spoonful, and Lizzie nodded her head as her lips once again part. She slowly but surely made her way through half of the bowl before lightly pushing it away, and you accepted her silent implication and placed it back down. 
“Alright my love, time for some medicine.”
Lizzie whinged a little, but that only made her cough harshly into her fist, “Okay fine.” She mumbled quietly after she’d finished coughing.
“Good girl, let’s open this up for you.” You smiled, running your hand through her hair then down onto her back before grabbing the bottle of cough medicine and pouring out the appropriate dose.
“Drink this for me sweetheart.” You encouraged her lightly, handing her the small cup which she brought to her lips.
Once she had swallowed the last of the medicine, you took the cup from her and smiled down at the small redhead. "Good job baby, that soothe help your cough a bit. Can you tell me how you feel though, like symptom-wise?”
She nodded, taking a second to grab a tissue to wipe against her runny nose before she began speaking, “My head feels achy and it feels really stuffy in my sinuses. My throat’s sore too and I’m keep feeling like I’m getting chills.”
“Awh, baby,” you pouted sympathetically as she described how she felt, “I think you’ve just caught yourself a head-cold. You do feel warm though, do you feel feverish?”
Lizzie sighed and seemed to think for a moment before quietly mumbling, “A little…”
Placing a tender kiss down to her forehead only confirmed her words, “Poor thing, you definitely feel a like you’re running a temperature. How about I go get a cool cloth for your head? I think we may actually have some of those fever reducing patches somewhere, the ones that go on your head.”
Lizzie sniffled softly, “That’d be nice, thank you.” She murmurs with a smile, and you return it before climbing out of bed with the intention of fetching her a fever reducing patch.
After a few minutes of looking, you find them in the medicine cabinet along with all the other medications, and after grabbing one out of the box, you make your way back into the bedroom.  
“Here you are baby.” You murmur, gently placing it onto her forehead. You even press a soft kiss against the top of it for good measure.
“Thank you.” Lizzie murmurs sleepily as her heavy lids close, and you give her cheek a tender touch before climbing into bed next to her. She almost instinctively curls into your side, and you wrap your arms around her before allowing your own eyes to slip closed too.
*
Apparently falling asleep next to her and allowing her to breathe all over you wasn’t a good move on your part.  
Because when you finally came to a few hours later, there was a familiar stuffiness growing in your head. Lizzie was still snoozing away against you, her breathing slightly hoarse, and you couldn’t help but smile at the sight. That smile however, was soon wiped from your face when you feel your nose begin to itch.
“Huh’htschoo!”
Oh no...

Thank you so much for reading!! ✨

Do you have any tips or tricks to making it on this app? I see you get tons of asks and I admire your work so much, just curious what your take is on gaining traction in here! Much love!
tbh, i kinda just starting gaining traction randomly, i'm not exactly sure what caused it, but here's the stuff i do whilst writing.. and thank you!!! i really appreciate that you are admire my work since i put effort and time into it :)));
1. include detail, a lot of it.
2. explain smell, taste, feel, see, hear. (example; it tastes horrible. bitter, cold, sour..)
3. read over your work, maybe twice. you'll find typos and words to replace.
4. personally, i use emoticons, mainly ‘:(’ because that's how i either coo at something, or describe how it's unfair, upsetting, ect. (not necessary, just something that i started doing which may be a cause?)
5. use paragraphs. i can't stress this enough, i don't read things that aren't sectioned, i literally cannot for the life of me. it's a whole blur and difficult to read..
6. actually make the character sound correct. könig isn't a subby, whiney boy.. describe the characters better, please make a character analysis before in your note app.
7. open your requests, people have amazing ideas and it'll help you gain traction if you're posting stuff people actually want to read.
8. use punctuation (okay, maybe not too much, i use too many commas personally..) and always make sure the definition is correct before you write it, otherwise it'll make zero sense to whoever's reading it.
9. look around, what are people liking? what post's get a lot of likes, what post's don't get attraction or notes? if your post gets barely any likes, it's because people don't want to read that.. (don't copy otherwise you'll probably be forced to deactivate because of hate.. and it's just pointless 👐)
10. i personally like posting drabbles and blurbs, shorter length posts are easier to read in comparison to full fics. (easy to read, easier to enjoy it personally)
- so what i'm trying to say is; if your post doesn't get a lot of likes and it's a full fic you worked on, maybe change up your writing style, length, ect.

YESS I loved your rejection prompts! How about for the payday gang?? The concept of betrayal is prominent in the payday storyline (especially for Bain, who has apparently been betrayed all his life)
As for characters, I would say to write for your favorites :) ooo ooo CHAINS chains also he needs more love (more angst)
guess who's back bitches !! i'm gonna take writing a lot slower because i'm still having a bit of writer's block , but requests will be up and running again !! i also plan on making some catch-up posts for houston , bain , and chains ! gotta give them some love too :]
You reject them — THE PAYDAY GANG
Dallas
He thought you accepted the confession when he saw a rose and letter on his desk
But his heart dropped when he realized that it was the same rose he had given to you, but now it was wilted due to lack of care
Dallas eventually read the letter and oml he was doing his damndest not to sob
He put a lot of effort just attempting to stage the confession but his fears ended up being reality
After this? Isolation, as per usual.
He did a lot more stealth heists alone, wouldn’t talk to anyone. If someone tried to have a conversation with him, he would do his best to walk away or he’d be really dismissive
Bombards himself with work. Like…A LOT. In an attempt to distract himself
He ends up forgetting his basic needs and he has to be dragged out by Wick and Dragan
Dallas even considers leaving the Payday gang. He couldn’t seem to find a reason to stay anymore
TDLR: Isolation and depression
Wolf
Literally holding back tears when you said you weren't interested
"Yeah no I understand I'm gonna go back to my workspace now okaybye"
Wick was confused when he saw Wolf stumble into the room and nearly slam his face against his desk whilst sobbing
After a nice little crying-fest, he'll immediately start to distract himself by tending to his tech
He'll also drag Hoxton with him to Jimmy's bar to start sobbing his eyes out again while having a shit ton of beer [when you're not at the safe house of course]
Wolf got so fucking drunk that he nearly set the fuckin safe house on fire
Hoxton has to keep an eye on him to make sure he doesn't do it again
Overall an unstable mess. Not violent, but definitely bad
Hoxton
What
No seriously
What the fuck
Hoxton's expression immediately drops once he heard you deny his confession
After that he just kinda left you and the entire picnic there
Unlike Wolf and Dallas, he ends up being aggressive about it
He goes on a lot more heists to take his aggression out elsewhere, but will sometimes slip and end up taking it out on you or someone else
Once he's done with the heists, his immediate impulse is to head to the nearest store and buy a shit ton of beer
So when he heads back to the safe house, the escape van is just packed with beer instead of cash [which annoys the heisters quite a lot]
Has gotten drunk and very violent during this time period
Eventually calms back down and slows down on the alcohol consumption, but is still generally upset over the whole rejection thing
He had put in so much effort only for you to answer with a no
He'll never not be mad about that
Sokol
After Sokol explained his feelings, he was literally fucking MORTIFIED when you said you didn't feel the same
Starts apologizing profusely, and once he's done with that, he does his best not to interact with you after that
The rest of the game is awkward, the drive home is awkward, and everything after that is pretty awkward
Even if you do actually manage to warm back up to him again, he's still embarassed about it
If any of the heisters know about it and try to bring it up in any way, it'll result in a very angry Sokol having to be dragged away from a bloodied and beaten heister
However, if you're the one to bring it up, he'll just be sitting there trying not to have a damn heart attack
Sokol might even be teary as well. He feels so awful for doing that, and he wishes he hadn't even invited you to that game
Clover
So when Clover wakes up and is going through that hangover, she pales and fucking panics when you mention what she did last night
She tries to apologize but you just dismiss it since you knew that she was drunk
But since you didn't say that you reciprocated those feelings, it still had her worried
After that initial period of worry, she ends up being depressed as all fuck
Like Wolf, she'll hang around Jimmy's bar and get drunk about it, more so than usual
She'll be sitting there sobbing while Bobblehead Bob has to sit there and be a therapist for the duration that she's there
Clover can't even be in charge of security anymore because of how drunk she gets
She doesn't change much even after the fact
Just gets drunk at any moment she possibly can
Jacket
Rather than staying on the rink with him for the duration of the couples' skating, you instead actually pull away from him and leave the rink
Sydney had a fuckin mortified look on her face while she stared at the scene for a moment before focusing on the pizza she was munching
Jacket kinda just stood there, disappointed as you left, now staring down at the tape recorder with the special tape he had in specifically to confess to you
He took that tape out and dropped it onto the ground before crushing it with one of his rollerskates
Jacket then left the rink to go and join you and Sydney in having some pizza while the couples skated around, leaving the crushed tape there
After the whole fiasco happened, he didn't seem to change
He wasn't as aggressive during heists, he wasn't reclusive to anyone, he just remained as normal as ever
Okay well
Maybe not
Y'know how he has special lines for certain heisters? I like to think he has special mixtapes that he uses whenever they come around
Yeah well
Your's was crushed and burned. He never responds to anything you say either
He acknowledges that you say it, but never responds. Not even with a gesture.

Okay first.
While the park is called Arches National Park, whenever I considered what we might see there I always figured it was gonna be one great big arch and a whole lotta canyon-y landscape.
But the name's plural for reason.
There are tons of arches. As many as 90. Or 2,000. I wasn't paying super close attention.
There's just lots.
And while we did see arches and while they were magnificent, there's one thing that has nothing to do with geology that impressed me most.
So.
We're at the first stop in the park, the one called Park Place Trail.
We step over to the viewpoint at first but quickly realize there's a fairly reasonable trail running down the middle of the canyon. After a careful descent, the rest is pretty flat.
Ish.
Anyway, we choose to do a little of it, managing our way down, continuing about halfway into the canyon where I take a 360 degree photo, Kimmer takes some snaps herself, and I record thirty seconds of sound. Birds. Wind. And nothing else.
Now, on our way down, we passed an elderly gentleman wearing shorts and a bright salmon-colored shirt on his way back to the viewpoint. We spoke with he and his walking partner both there and on our way back.
They had actually done the full trail one mile going and we're about to finish the one mile coming back. And, by the way, if you're one of those who considers me to be elderly, lemme put it this way: he's the kind of elderly that elderly people call "elderly".
Now, I'd actually been on a photographing spree when Kimmer spoke with them for the second time before continuing on to the viewpoint from whence we came.
The gentleman's companion was just starting to make her way up there, too, whilst he continued to wait a beat, gathering up his energy. You see, while a mile down and back doesn't seem like that big a deal, it pretty much is when you've gotta take frequent breaks to catch your breath, rest your muscles, and will yourself to keep moving.
And we were catching him at the end of this, which for him was an Herculean effort. An effort that's lasted three hours by this point.
Now I've holstered my camera, continuing my walk, and about to pass him on his left. And as I do, I hear him shout to his companion ahead of us
"I'm going to make it!"
Not in dis-belief. But in absolute belief. This challenge for him with nature, with geology, with gravity, with time and age... today he was the victor.
And that accomplishment was something I could feel in his words.
And I love that.
So that was the best thing.
😁
The funniest thing came at our next stop called the Windows Area for the numerous rock arches you can observe there, many of them right up close.
Kimmer 'n I are walking down from the upper parking lot when a group of teens catches up with us and I catch a bit of their conversation that's prompted by the sheer hotness of the day. The relentless heat dogging their every step.
Or something like that.
Anyway, what I heard was
"I wish I could have a triple scoop ice cream cone right now."
Which conjured out of thin air both the image and the sound of a brightly painted ice cream truck with speakers atop its roof broadcasting a children's song in music box tones.
I could straight up imagine it coming up the hill just then, thinking not only how cool that would be...
But that I'd also most definitely be trampled by the teens behind us running for their tripple scoops.
😆
Now, the reason we're walking from the upper parking lot to the lower one is because the arches we wanna good, long, in-person look at are on this side.
The Double Arch.
The Double Arch is a formation of arches in this area of the park, an area with the largest concentration of natural arches in the entire world. Aside from the obvious, Double Arch is so named because it consists of two arches that share the same stone as a foundation for both their outer legs.
The larger is 144 feet wide by 112 feet high, the smaller is 67 feet wide by 86 feet high.
For my own personal reference, the larger of the two arches is 16 feet shy of the height of the Macy's building in downtown Seattle.
Nobody really cares about those kinds of comparisons, though. Because when you're standing dead center under the larger arch, you.
Are.
Dwarfed.
You're tiny.
You're miniscule.
In the presence of massive natural architecture.
It's intimidating.
And.
It's frustrating not only trying to explain what it's like standing there...
It's a fool's errand trying to capture its essence in a photograph.
The breathtaking beauty of it, of course.
The incomprehensible scale of it that feels like you're standing beneath a massive natural dome.
The entirety of the arches that extends well beyond their width.
And, most importantly, how it feels to be intimidated by all that. To feel awe as you take it in. To wonder at its dangerous beauty.
Yeah.
IMAX might help.
Better photography skills would definitely help.
But it's the physicality of the experience that boggles the mind. Hearing how voices bounce off these rocks in peculiar ways. Walking toward the arches and toward them and toward them, reaching them well after your brain tells you you should've reached them. Climbing, navigating your own path up rock formations until you're under the shade of the first arch. Beginning the even steeper climb toward the second arch before deciding that effort's madness. And then...
And then seeing a young girl who's managed to climb halfway up one side of the first arch. The big one.
There she is, posing for pictures taken with telephoto precision. Humoring the words of her parents "Okay that's it. That's as high as you go."
And then marveling as her dad climbs up to join her.
Now they're both posing for pictures.
Eventually, we succumb to the reality that this is a moment for our perceptions, for our memories. Because the full scale of this experience can only be understood this way. Can only be fully appreciated this way.
Can only be enjoyed.
This way.
And we... are incredibly fortunate to be counted among those to experience it.
😲🤔☺️😍

Potioned (G.W x Fem!Reader)
George tries to strike Y/N with a love potion but she doesn’t seem to be affected.
Warnings: similarities to being drugged (in this case being potioned)(if that’s even a word)
Note: I changed the effect of the potion slightly! Neither of the books or movies mention what amortentia does to someone who’s already in love with the person who gave it to them (oops spoiler). So yeah! Also, I just realised that it’s actually Fred on the left so let’s just close our eyes on that one 😌
Btw, thanks for all the love in my previous works! 🥰 I appreciate all your likes and reblogs. You’re free to send in requests or anything really. <;3
Tumblr media
Students were now pouring out of the Great Hall after dinner, each of them starting to wish their friends goodnight as they all went their separate ways.
Y/N loved having dinner with all her friends gathered in one long table with tons of mouth watering delicacies but tonight, she didn’t have the time to enjoy it. She had been cooped up in her world as she had her quill in one hand, writing an essay due the next day, whilst holding her spoon in the other.
She found it difficult to focus on two activities at once especially she was in a rush. By the end of the dinner service, she had only taken a few spoons of her soup and three bites from her treacle tart.
When she returned to her dormitory, she shoved the parchment and quill into her satchel before letting herself fall on her bed in exhaustion.
Rolling over to the drawer by her bed, she noticed a brown box with a red ribbon around it. Loosening her tie, she sat on the bed and put the box on her lap.
There was a white card attached to it that read:
Mum sent us a few treats in celebration of dad’s birthday. She sent some for you too. —G.W
She opened the box and the scent of pumpkin pasties hit her nose and her stomach grumbled in response. They were arranged neatly in three rows, still warm to the touch. Assuming it was from Ginny, she ate them. One by one, Y/N filled her stomach until she was satisfied.
When she was done, she laid on the bed and put the box — with the last one and a half pasty and crumbs in it— back on the drawer. Not bothering to change into her nightgown, she dozed off to a well deserved slumber.
—————————————————————
On the other hand, George Weasley was pacing back and forth in his dormitory room with his twin sitting by the window.
“We’re dead. No, I’m dead.” He bantered with himself as Fred’s eyes followed his movements.
“It’s gonna be alright.” He tried to calm George who was still walking around the room. The other boys looking at him funny.
“It’s not even dad’s birthday yet. His birthday’s next year!”
George had been crushing on Y/N since their third year. He liked her but he was satisfied in admiring her from afar. His affection for her only grew when she started hanging out with them, being friends with Ginny when their sister came to school.
On their sixth year, he realised that he’d only see her in school and he probably won’t have any chance to see her again after they graduate so, he decided that it was finally time to make a move on her.
She was friendly and easy to get along with so George would crack jokes loudly whenever she was around, hoping for a reaction. Sometimes, he would hear her laugh. His blood would rise up to his cheeks and he won’t stop smiling.
Other times, he tried to get her attention by showing off his skills during quidditch practice. Hitting the bludgers harder than he normally would, flying his broom in an upside down loop, circling the whole pitch but all of his efforts were left in vain as she always had her nose in a book, doing homework or revising notes.
Until a few weeks ago, Fred proposed a crazy scheme to get her to notice him. Maybe he was desperate. At the time, it felt like the only sensible thing left to do. He was so into her that he even doubted if he had ingested a love potion himself.
So for weeks, he and Fred brewed the most powerful love potion there was — Amortentia.
And tonight was the night they had taken the next step of their plan. George had asked one of Y/N’s roommates to put the pasties where she’d see them.
It wasn’t until dinner when she was minutes away from falling into their plan, that George had guilt washing over him like a bucket of ice cold water. He wanted to back out but it was far too late.
And now, he couldn’t get himself to sleep thinking about how wrong it was to put something in her food. Something that could be so dangerous especially when too much had been taken.
Why did I have to put a dozen pumpkin pasties in there anyway? Such an idiot, I am. He thought.
Even if Y/N did show affection towards him tomorrow, even if she turned crazy for him, it wouldn’t feel right at all. George felt sick at the thought.
After a few more minutes of pacing, George laid down on his bed with heavy guilt. He laid awake for hours before he finally let his lids close.
——————
When Y/N got up in the morning, she immediately cleaned herself up and changed into a set of clean uniform.
On the way to breakfast, she bumped into Ginny who was already smiling brightly at her. She greeted her and Y/N greeted back.
They arrived together and they sat at the Gryffindor table, talking about random things. Just then, Ginny’s brothers, arrived and sat on the other side of the table in front of them.
They all greeted Y/N with goodmorning and she did the same. She looked at George who just sat still, not saying a word.
“Goodmorning, George.” She smiled.
The boy didn’t respond, only smiling back at her while Fred was flickering his eyes between the two of them earning a confused look from his sister.
“So Y/N, how’re you feeling?” Fred asked as he bit into a piece of toast, mouth half full. “A fine day to be in love, isn’t it?”
The lot of them gave him weird looks from the sudden question. George choked on his food and Ron immediately tapped his older brother on the back.
“I suppose.” Y/N chuckled, her tone coming off as a question.
“Ah, don’t you just feel the love in the air.” Fred leaned back as he inhaled.
At this point, George was downing his orange juice in big gulps. His other hand hidden under the table was pinching Fred’s side in attempt to shut him up.
Ginny had her brows in a tight knit. “Honestly, what’s going on with you two. I’m telling mum.”
Shrugging, Fred continued to eat while George was glaring at him under his cup.
Y/N suddenly remembered the pasties Ginny had sent her last night. “By the way Ginny, thank your mum for me. Her pasties were delicious I almost finished all of it.”
Ginny looked at her with a confused face. “What pasties?”
George and Fred stiffened. “I think I’m forgetting my… My book! Yeah, my book. Gotta go and get it.” The younger twin rushed out of his seat before Y/N could reply.
“The one you sent for me. The one in the brown box! For your dad’s birthday?” She trailed off, mirroring Ginny’s expression.
“Y/N, dad’s birthday isn’t until next year.” Ron butted in.
“Then who…” Fred was looking around and continuously stuffed his face with toast which Y/N caught onto. “The card said it was from you! With initials G and W. Ginny Weasley, right?”
“I haven’t sent you any cards, let alone pasties.” Ginny scratched her head. “Besides, I’m not the only one with those initials.”
Fred spoke once again, mouth full. “George’s initials are G.W too, you know.”
“Do you have anything to do with this?” Y/N squinted at him.
“Maybe.”
—————————
George was sitting under the quidditch stands, waiting for time to pass by. He never thought he’d ever want classes to start early but today, he did. He didn’t know how to face Y/N after what he’d done to her and so he was already thinking of ways to avoid crossing paths with her.
His thoughts were interrupted as Y/N stepped under the stands, cornering him. She had no emotion on her face, just a slight hint of her her brows scrunching.
“Fred told me.” She crossed her arms as she sat on the grass.
He gulped and looked her in the eyes. She was already staring up at him. “Why? Why’d you do it, George?”
If this were a normal conversation, he’d be tumbling inside for how his name rolled so smoothly off her mouth. But he was taken over with guilt.
“I’m really sorry, Y/N.” He sat beside her, leaving a gap between in respect of her personal bubble.
“There’s no excuse for what I’ve done.” He sighed. “I wasn’t thinking clearly and my desire for you clouded over my judgment and for that, I should be punished.”
She was silent but at least, she hadn’t walked off. He thought.
“Report me. Hit me. Anything. I’d accept the consequences.” He looked at her again. “I’m really sorry.”
It was now Y/N’s turn to look at him. “You didn’t need to do that.” The wind whistled softly and blew strands of her hair to her face as she spoke.
“If only you looked a little longer. Looked a little deeper… you would’ve seen that I too have feelings for you.”
George couldn’t speak. His voice, nowhere to be found.
“I see the way you look at me but you don’t see me looking at you, George.” She sighed.
“I guess that’s why it didn’t work. The potion.” She paused. “Because what I was meant to feel had already been there all along.”
“You like me too?” He croaked. His throat running dry.
She chuckled. “Yes.”
Finding his confidence, he spoke. “Can I kiss you?”
Without a word, Y/N stood on her knees and flung her arms around his neck, pressing their lips together. George’s head tilted upwards at the difference in height and held onto her hips.
He had one hand on the ground slightly behind him for support. He let himself melt into her touch as she caressed his flushed cheeks with her soft palm. Her other hand resting on his shoulder to hold her up, knees turning into jelly.
When they ran out of breath, George was the first to pull away. Y/N rested her forehead on top of George's, still holding his cheeks.
“Now about that punishment.” She smiled, brushing her lips over George’s lightly.
“You better start courting me, Weasley.” She whispered.
“You didn’t have to ask.” George replied as he pulled her into another kiss.

hide & seek; daveed diggs
masterlist
summary: Y/N L/N can´t keep a promise. (sequel to leap frog & hopscotch)
warnings: cushion violence.
fic style: drabble.
word count: 1807
author’s note: this is the third and final drabble from the leap frog series. sorry that it’s kind of short and not really as good as the other two, i’ve got a bit of writer’s block right now. like, i have tons of ideas of what i would like to write but, when i try to write, my brain forgets the whole english dictionary and is just like “qué?”.
It was official. Rafael Casal was going to kill Daveed Diggs and Y/N L/N.
The sun had barely risen an hour ago; the air was still crisp with the chill of the night; some people were just making their way home, exhaustion and last night's makeup painting their face, and there Rafa was stood, phone pressed to his ear whilst his fist banged against the oak door repeatedly. He'd spent fifteen minutes in the very same predicament, alternating between calling Daveed and Y/N. Neither of the two were picking up despite the fact he was sure he could hear their phones ringing from indoors.
It was typical, honestly, for the two to pull such a stunt on him. The poor man was juggling having to worry about his friends whereabouts and his own health, which was progressively slipping away from him as his stress levels grew from having both their close relatives breathing down the back of his neck and questioning him on where exactly the two could have disappeared to.
When they both had first agreed to spending the night apart, Rafa was quick to laugh in their faces and tell them they'd find themselves crawling back to the other by the end of the night. Hell, the two barely survived nights apart brought on by work- Rafa had once walked in to Daveed's hotel room and found him asleep whilst Y/N slept on his propped up phone screen, nothing but FaceTime to unite them during their time apart- so how in the name of Hell would they willingly choose to sleep without one another? The satisfaction of his impending "I told you so" was the only thing keeping Rafa going.
“Screw this." He muttered, shoving his phone back into his pocket. Crouching, Rafa picked up a few of the plant pots that decorated the front porch until he found the hidden key.
Quietly, and carefully, he turned the key in the lock. When the door opened, he pushed through slowly and held his breath, awaiting for it to squeak. A squeak never came, meaning two things: Daveed must have fixed the door and Rafa was safe to continue venturing into the home. Of course, he had to continue with the slowed movements and the careful breathing. The last thing he needed was to wake up the couple's four legged friend, that would only lead to an influx of tail wagging and puppy kisses being branded all over him. No, Rafa had to treat this like the most serious game of hide and seek he'd ever taken part in, on the off chance that Daveed was actually alone. The man was never a morning person, so being the person to wake him up, whether by accident or on purpose, was practically a suicide mission. Add that in with a reminder of the fact he'd (possibly) slept alone, Daveed was not going to be a happy bunny.
Rafa made his way through the living room where his eyes couldn't help but focus on the picture frames scattered along their television unit. They held so many stories, most of which he'd been present for and some he'd just been told about by the couple.
There was the cheesy one of them under some mistletoe on their first Christmas together, where Daveed had accidentally tripped over his own two feet and landed chest first into the cake she'd spent the whole day baking. There was the picture from a Warriors match they'd gone to, where Y/N spent most the night near drooling over the players and Daveed had silently prayed he still had a girlfriend by the end of the game. A candid photo of the both of them at some music festival, arms around each other and heads resting on shoulders. A collage section, filled with each cringe worthy matching Halloween costumes they'd worn. A picture of Daveed in a hospital bed, cast around his arm and Y/N sat at his side, their hairs still tousled from the kiss Rafa had walked in on before capturing the moment in a photo. At the time, they'd told him to delete it but the man was adamant they'd thank him one day when they were getting married and they realized that, without his meddling, the two of them would have never ended up on that date, in that hospital room.
With one of those things nearly down, Rafa was just counting down the hours till they came to the epiphany of his involvement in their love blossoming.
As he made his way out of the living room, the sound of a squeaky toy invaded his senses. Confused, Rafa looked down to see he'd stood on one of the dog's toys. All movement froze. He waited a couple heartbeats, to see if the pup had awakened. When no fur-ball came running his way, he assumed it was safe to move again.
The kitchen was up next. Rafa held back a laugh at the matching Mr & Mrs aprons which were hung up, mentally storing the reminder to mock them about it in his speech later on. A cupboard was slowly pulled open, a large bowl- in which countless of his favorite goodies were made by top baker Y/N- was lowered out of it and the tap was switched on, water trickling out of it and directly into the dish he was holding up.
Rafa now had to move more carefully than ever, his eyes flicking back and forth between the floor in front of him and the sloshing water in the bowl. But he had made his way safely up the stairs, down the hall and, now, he was finally rounding the corner to their shared bedroom. He could see the door had been left half open and, like the most tense scene in a thriller, Rafa took one step, two steps, three steps before he stumbled upon the exact image he'd been awaiting.
There they lay in bed, all shamelessly tangled up in silk sheets and limbs. His head on her pillow, her face buried in his neck. Casual sleepwear adorned them both- much to Rafa's own relief - whilst their outfits from the night before were strewn across the whole room. Each of their chests rose and fell in sync with one another, their breathing more peaceful than that of a monk. They so perfectly detailed what it meant to wholeheartedly be in love with someone, with no real effort whatsoever. It was such a shame Rafa was about to ruin their whole picture perfect sleep.
Eyeing the dog bed, Rafa affirmed that the pup was peacefully off in dreamland, with no sign of waking up and ruining his little surprise. He tiptoed from there onward, making his way around the king sized bed, stepping over abandoned cushions and swerving between articles of clothing. Panic coursed through him as Daveed let out a groan, rolling over where he lay. When the man's eyes remained shut, Rafa continued his careful journey to his best friend's bedside. After snapping a few pictures of the sleeping, unsuspecting fools, he lifted the bowl of water, carefully balancing it over them with his hands.
The first few drops fell onto the pillow, but the rest? They completely soaked Daveed and Y/N (mostly Daveed, he was Rafa's main target after all) and sent them both flying out of bed, eyes still half shut and wet hair dripping water all over the place. The first thing they noticed was Rafa, bent over at the waist, hand clutching his sides as laughter shook through his rib-cage.
“What the fuck, dude?” Y/N was the first one to speak, as she picked up and threw one of the cushions at Rafa, who smoothly ducked from her aim.
“What time is it?” Daveed had sat back on the bed at this point, shoulders hunched as he tried to find his phone.
“It's eight am.” Rafa passed him his phone. “And don't you what the fuck? me." He put on a high pitched voice as he addressed Y/N, dodging another one of her cushion attacks.
“I do not sound like that.”
“You do in my head.” Another cushion, this time it actually whacked him on the thigh. “I told you guys you wouldn't sleep apart and you two agreed to the bet, the forfeit being I get to dump a bowl of water over you both.”
“Hey, this isn't my fault.” Daveed stood up again, reaching for a pair of sweatpants off the floor. The bundle of fur had woken up by then, barking at Y/N's feet until she reached down to pick him up. “I was here alone last night, ready to sleep alone when she showed up at the door. She forced me to lose.”
“Oh, please!” Rafa was glad to see Y/N redirect her flying cushions at Daveed. “You practically dragged me into bed last night. I didn't force anything on you.”
“It wouldn't be very gentlemanly of me to turn away a tired woman at my door.”
“And they say chivalry is dead.”
“I brought it back just for you, babe.”
The buzzing of his phone in his pocket reminded Rafa of the fact that this was no ordinary day, where the two idiots in front of him had the entire morning to have meaningless arguments. Today, they were all on a strict schedule and Rafa was half responsible for making sure it all went well.
“As fun as this is,” He paused, redirecting his complete attention to Y/N. “you have a car waiting for you outside, to take you back to your parents home to get ready. So, with all due respect, fuck off and let me get D ready for you.”
“Fine, whatever, I'm going.” He could tell she wasn't really as bothered as she tried to seem, especially from the way her shoulders were shaking in silent laughter. “Be warned, Rafa, if you try take credit for our relationship in your speech, I will not hesitate to deck you in front of my whole family. Capiche?”
“You know, it's not too late to change your mind, Y/N. There's still a chance to rekindle our old flame and reenact that kiss we shared years ago.”
“Hey, watch your mouth!” Daveed made his way over to Y/N's side and wrapped an arm over her shoulder. “That's my wife you're speaking to.”
“Not yet, Diggs.” Rafa grabbed at the other man's arm, stripping him away from Y/N as the two tried to share a kiss. “Save that for the altar, you two.”
The couple collectively let out a frustrated sigh as Rafa guided her out of the house, both aware of the fact that the next time they locked eyes, they'd be swearing eternal fidelity and love to one another and, as much as neither would admit it out loud, they owed it all to Rafa and his gossiping ways.

Beautiful Trauma by Pink with Nishinoya, please!
Woop yess yeah angst is coming your way.
Okay I’m taking a break from matchups lol they’re getting harder to do because I do like a ton of them every day and like they’re GRUELLING HAVSJSGS they’re gonna be back but like I’m gonna focus on writing scenarios and maybe hcs for a bit then get right back to the matchups:)
Btw @artsamber I’m sorry I genuinely don’t know how marriage fics work and I don’t really see Nishinoya as someone that would lose interest after marriage, but I’ll try my best to incorporate your ideas into this fic!
(I’m legit trying my best to keep this as non explicit as I can because I’m keeping these for future uses if my English teacher ever tells me to write romance or something I can just pull up my blog and use scenarios-)
Tumblr media
Beautiful Trauma// Nishinoya Yuu x Reader
Word count: 2000+
Warnings: Mild swearing
Nishinoya didn’t like feeling guilty. He hated the falling sensation he would get whenever he lied. The thought of having to hurt someone disgusted him. He was mostly an open book, it was as if you could read him word for word, everything expressed in those goofy facial expressions. He didn’t ask for much. He wanted someone who he could tease. Someone he could trust with his inner conflicts. Someone that could make him feel appreciated. Out of all the things however, he craved for excitement the most. Excitement that you weren’t able to give him. He loved you, he definitely loved you. But in a couple of years’ time, the spark that used to ignite whenever he looked at you, touched you, kissed you, it was gone. He tried to ignore the emptiness, grasping at any opportunity he could to regain those feelings. Going on more dates, inviting you to all his matches, bringing you over to his house every single week, he did everything he could Nothing worked. He no longer felt special. He had fought so hard for you, everything was all rainbows and unicorns, until it wasn’t. Until you became just another person for him. 
You still remember the exact moment you realised he had changed. It still goes through your mind till this day. It was New Year’s Eve. The two of you went out to watch the fireworks at midnight. His hand felt cold that night, not a trace of the usual warmth that embraced your hand perfect to be found.. It felt stale and frigid. He didn’t initiate his usual weird chatter, nor did he make an effort to talk to you at all. Every other couple at the venue was doing some lovey dovey crap, giving each other bone crushing hugs, or laying in their loved one’s lap, occasionally sneaking a kiss or two. Seeing that, you tried to sneak in some romance into your date. You turned towards him, leaning in and giving him a kiss. Your heart fell when he stayed still, not reacting to anything. He didn’t kiss back, he didn’t hold your hand, he didn’t even make an effort to play with your hair.  It was as if your kiss had absolutely no effect on him. You tried again, letting go of his hand and cupping his cheek. Still nothing. You pulled away, slightly disappointed at the lack of attention you were getting from him as he stared at you with bored eyes, dragging you down to sit next to him. This should’ve been a sign. A sign that something was wrong. However, you brushed it off. Maybe he was just feeling a bit sick that night.
The lack of attention went on for months. You would have to ask him out every week, just to be able to spend any quality time with him, and most of the time he’d decline, using the same three excuses every time.
“Sorry, I’m busy with volleyball.”
“Feeling a bit tired today, I’ll pass.”
“I have schoolwork, can’t come.”
The rare instances where he doesn’t decline your request, he’s completely indulged in his phone. As if there was something that was better than spending time with the one he loved that was on that godforsaken monitor. You would try poking him, shaking him, nudging him, everything you could possibly do to gain his attention. In return, all you’d receive was an irritated groan or your hand being picked up and put back onto your lap, followed by a wave of depression hitting you by surprise as he continues to scroll mindlessly through his phone. You were tired of this, your gut telling you to just break it off with him. However you were hopeful. Too hopeful. You continued to cling onto the last shred of hope you had in that attention lacking heart of yours, praying that by spending enough time with him, he would go back to his old self. The Nishinoya that she fell in love with. The one that gave her kisses on her cheek, squeezed her hand whenever he held it, cried with her during hard times, pushed her on the swings in an abandoned park. She continued to look forward to a day, where he would once again greet her at her doorstep before walking to school together. That day never came.
Half a year. Half an entire year of hiding his inner conflicts. Nishinoya was done keeping it in. He had to tell you one way or the other anyways. He was sick of seeing how disappointed you’d get after he ignored you time and time again. He was drowning in his own guilt throughout the never-ending six months. That pit of regret that dug itself in his stomach made him want to just rip everything to pieces and scream into a void. He didn’t want to see you like this, but quite frankly there was nothing he could do. His feelings were slowly fading, and they weren’t coming back. Everything that seemed bright in the world went dull as he pondered over his own emotions in his room. Letting out a feral yell, he sent all the books and papers on his desk flying to the floor, ripping some up and stomping on them. “WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO? HUH? I CAN’T DO THIS TO HER! I can’t... I can’t hurt her like that.” He grabbed at his hair, pulling at it as he slid down the wall hopelessly, choking out strained sobs and screams as tears poured from his eyes. He was beyond frustrated. He definitely didn’t want to hurt you by telling you how he felt, however hiding it wouldn’t do any good either. In fact, the longer he hid it, the more affected by it you would be. He had made his mind. He was going to tell you the truth the next day, but at what cost? He was scared, definitely. He could already picture what would happen. He would tell you his conflicts, and you two would end it there, with both of you crying and leaving for different classes. He would probably do terribly during practice, maybe even skip it for once, and you would probably go home and cry. It would hurt him to tell you, but it was for the best.
You weren’t feeling ecstatic the next day, although you should’ve been. In your bag, was a framed polaroid, along with a tiny note attached to it, stuffed in between your lunchbox and textbooks. You made sure not to let the note crumple up. That was something important. Your friends teased you about it, calling you a hopeless romantic, lovestruck schoolgirl, and a variety of different romance tropes. All you could do was nod and laugh dryly, and pray they didn’t see the frown on your face throughout the whole day. During lunch, you scanned the cafeteria for your partner, finally landing your eyes on his tiny figure. He was in the very back of the lunch line, scrolling through his phone, again. You took a deep breath, grabbing the polaroid and treading towards him. “Nishinoya, can I talk to you alone for a bit?” The boy’s eyes glanced towards you, before he cracked a fake grin. “Uh sure thing.” You pulled him out of the lunch line, guiding him to behind a random stairwell, leaning on the wall with the framed photo in hand.
“So, for our second anniversary, I made you this. I hope you like it.” Nishinoya froze, before his eyes widened, his mouth slowly opening. “I- I’m so sorry (Y/N), I completely forgot about this! Oh lord I’m so dumb oh god-” He stopped for a moment. This was the perfect opportunity to tell you. You two were finally alone, he could just get it done and over with. He thought about it a bit more. Would it be too much for you? He had already forgotten about you guys’ anniversary, whilst you made an effort to make him something. He decided against it. He would do it another day. “Yuu, it’s okay, Don’t worry about it. Just read the note when you get back. I gotta go eat now, see you around.” And with that, you made your way back to your table. NIshinoya’s heart clenched. He felt terrible. He really hid the fact that he was losing interest from you for months, whilst you continued to believe that he loved you with his whole heart. He stared at the polaroid in his hand. It was from when you two had your first date in a pink cafe. That was the first time he ever kissed you in public. Inside of the frame, was a piece of paper folded into a tiny square. That was the note you were talking about. He let out a heavy sigh, returning to the cafeteria as well.
The note was now in his hands, still folded in that neat square. When school ended, you didn’t wait for Nishinoya like you usually did. Instead, he saw you walk away with another friend, who was patting your back as you were hunched over slightly. His heart dropped. Thank the lords he decided not to tell you today. Polaroid frame in hand, he examined everything. Maybe there was some hidden message behind this. Maybe she wrote something on the back of the polaroid too, instead of just writing a note. He took a few minutes to just observe the framed photo, before giving up and shoving it back into his bag. There was nothing weird or suspicious about it. It was just a normal polaroid. He walked home alone, not waiting for Tanaka. He felt like absolute shit, head hanging low as he walked towards his house, hands in his pocket. The second he got to his room, he threw everything to the floor, scrambling for the framed polaroid and pulling out the untouched note. He opened the note up, to see a neatly written message. It wasn’t just a note, it was a whole letter.
Dear Yuu,
I expected this already, so don’t be sorry. I knew you were going to forget. You’ve changed, everyone could see. Because of that, there’s something I need to tell you.
I’m breaking it off here.
Nishinoya’s eyes widened as he gripped the paper tightly with his now shaky hands. “No way....”
I know you might be confused as to why I’m doing this. But hear me out. I can see that you’ve changed. For the past months you’ve been uninterested. You haven’t been like the old Yuu since New Year’s Eve.
I love you, I do, but I can’t bear to see you force yourself into continuing this facade. It’s been two years, this isn’t a surprise to me. I don’t want you to feel obligated to stay with me against your heart’s desire. I’d rather you be happy with the relationship. Please. Let’s just end it here. It was beautiful while it lasted, but now it’s just trauma for me. I hope this anniversary gift is good enough. Goodbye.
Love,
(Y/N)
Tears streamed down the boy’s face as he re-read the letter again. Nothing changed. You had said what you said and Nishinoya felt terrible. He should’ve known you would be able to read through him. He should’ve just told you from the start, instead of keeping it in like a coward. Putting the letter down, he grabbed his bag, and threw it across the room, letting it land to the ground with a thud as his laptop and his textbooks spilled out. “NISHINOYA YUU WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?” Ah, of course, it was his mom. “NISHINOYA STOP MAKING SO MUCH NOISE!” The short boy ignored her, continuing to let his anger out. He threw all the books from his shelf onto the wooden floor, ripped up pieces of homework, and threw the polaroid to the ground, jumping on it and cracking the glass. He wasn’t mad at you. He was frustrated with himself. He was furious at his own cowardice, that led to him breaking your heart. “Why? It shouldn’t have been like this! I should’ve apologised to her before any of this happened! We might’ve had a chance!”
He continued to massacre his bedroom, throwing everything at his wall and breaking anything he possibly could get his hands on. His legs felt tired from stomping and jumping and his arms ached from ripping everything. He fell back, landing on his ass as he cradled his face in his hands, sobbing uncontrollably. He wanted to lie to himself. Tell himself there was nothing he could do about it. Convince himself that he had already tried his best.
But deep down, he knew that he just didn’t try hard enough, and now, the two years you guys spent together, where he loved every single minute of, was nothing but a beautiful trauma.

An Autistic Point of View 2
Hi there! It's Hazel and I'm first going to talk about what it's like to me to be autistic.
So for me I got diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome at the age of 14 and it has helped me understand a lot of my traits, which now I can articulate to you.
I'm obsessive and I mean very obsessive, once I find something I really really like it's all the occupies my brain day and night, everyday and sometimes to the point where I can't focus because all I want to think about is my obsession. A few examples of this was Vocaloid, BTS/K-pop and right now Genshin Impact.
During lessons, I struggled to stay 100% focused at all times because my brain always likes to drift off into dream land and I have to make a big mental effort to reign myself back into reality. This problem affect me when I used to take Chemistry (it was far too hard for my pea brain anyway) and the moment my brain switched off, BOOM! I'd missed a ton of information, even if it was only for 10 seconds.
However, now, after changing subjects and finding the right ones for me, I'm finding it much easier to control my need to daydream and can focus much better.
Next, I am forgetful. Imagine a sieve but only the unimportant information (normally to do with what I'm obsessing over) stays and everything else falls through, no matter how important it is to me. I hurt my knuckles over lockdown learning and needed to ice them frequently and it was very important, however, 2 seconds after remembering I needed to do that, you guessed it! I forgot about it.
Forgetfulness is hard, especially when at school because I need to drill my theory into my brain so hard because I will forget so easily. As well as at school, I have my phone and Alexa full of reminders to tell me to simple tasks such as to update this blog or to practice my piano or else I'd forget.
Lets throw in a weird one now. To be honest even I have no clue if this is an autistic trait but it's certainly something that affects me. When studying or reading I can't listen to any music with English lyrics. Why? Because I focus on the lyrics and draw myself into them and then struggle to concentrate when working because I can understand what's being sung. So my playlists involve game soundtracks, a few screamo bands (you can't understand what they're saying anyways) and Asian pop.
One thing that was said through my diagnosis is that it's possible I could have anxiety for life and as of writing this I'm currently trying to get therapy or medication for it.
Anxiety is isolating, it's painful with its physical side effects (which manifest in chest pains for me), it gives unneeded stress over problems which to others seem minor, it gives me panic attacks which range in severity, it gives a fear embarrassment, of messing up, of standing out, of being DIFFERENT.
Everything about myself I scrutinise, I'm trying to give up chocolate because it gives me so much extra stress that I believe it's unhealthy for myself. I must present myself in a way where I don't seem rude or impolite as I'm scared of how everyone will react. If I get into an argument or something I believe is an argument, I beat myself up about it and I feel like I hurt everyone around me.
I believe I'm a constant annoyance, when I'm around people I'm comfortable with I'm a chatterbox and you can't shut me up. But it makes me self conscious, am I talking too much? Is everyone just being friendly out of obligation? Are they all secretly annoyed at me? Are questions I ask myself daily and blame myself at some points for not being normal.
My brain sticks to the past and words echo my mind for sometimes years giving me fears that others would even know of. Such as the lessons about heart disease in biology always play in my mind to the point I want to give up chocolate because it's giving me so much stress as my brain is like OH MY GOD YOU ATE CHOCOLATE NOW YOU'RE GONNA DIE! And then I get stressed and get chest pains which only further add to it.
Now we got the heavy topic out the way lets move on! Autism has led me to have a fine motor coordination disability which has affect me my whole life, I can't handwrite well, I struggle opening tins, peeling vegetables, unlocking the door to get in my house, using scissors, folding things and the list goes on (and let me tell you it's long).
But you get the gist, I struggle with a lot of things and it can take me a much longer amount of time to work out things than someone normal.
I'm also extremely disorganised, actually that's a lie. I'm extremely organised but it doesn't look it. My room is a mess and I know that but I could tell you where everything is in seconds because it's what I call 'an organised mess'. I organise things but it's not neat, it's just where my brain decides is a good place to put things.
My school bag is so organised to point I don't like people touch it because I know where everything is and it has to be in the same pockets or else I'll get upset because it just has to be there and that is something no one can change.
However, even though I'm on that point of organisation, I still get stressed about if I have forgotten anything even though I never have.
Part of my autism is physical traits too, I am born with weak muscles in many places, the ones I know of so far are my wrists, knees, eyes and lower back. Because of this I can't handwrite long essays and have to have computer support to help me with this problem. With other areas, it's places I know I need to be careful when training at circus because I discovered my weak back after crucifix rolls on a cloudswing went wrong (it's a type of error that will always happen when learning this move) and I locked up my spine, from then on I've never done that move ever again.
Whilst being quite extroverted (only around people I'm comfortable with, if not I'm extremely shy) I'm actually very sensitive to things. I can't be touched suddenly or at my waist or I will flinch or flail and let me tell you, as I martial artist I do hit extremely hard in reflex. I also am sensitive to loud noises when I'm not expecting it, such as seeing war horse the stage show where the sounds of gun shots and explosions were played so loud that I had a panic attack in the theatre. However, at concerts, I'm fine as I'm expecting this loud noise and I know what is coming.
A weird thing I find about myself is that I'm very contrasting, I'm highly emotional but don't understand emotion. My first emotional response to any emotion is to cry and yes it is extremely embarrassing to cry in front of others (I believe crying in public should be normalised not shamed). Yet I can't understand emotion such as when people are sad, I don't realise it and happily talk to them and then feel like they hate me because they ignore me and then beat myself up for not realising they're sad when they tell me so. But it's not just sadness, being talked to in a firm voice, to me means they're angry when they're not, criticism means everything I've done is stupid and you get the point.
However, not only do I not understand emotion normally, I actually at times can't feel it, I get excited before a concert but when it starts I feel nothing, everything I feel just disappears and my mind is blank, so I actually have to force myself to be happy and then my brain realises I'm happy and I don't have to put in effort to sustain an emotion.
Now last but not least (remember how I said I was forgetful, it's already come into play here that I can't even remember if I've covered everything about my Asperger's) I can't do instructions, if I'm given a list of items I need to take, a long list of instructions to follow with no physical copy to reference by the time the last instruction has been said, I've already forgotten the first one and this has been fatal when I've ended up with really bad sunburn because I forgot to bring sun cream because the list I was given was too long to remember.
And that's it folks, my autism is a nutshell that's probably missing some stuff but it's as much as I can tell you from the top of my head and if I remember more stuff I'll make sure to post it.
Thanks for following!

Thelreads, Vigilantes 56, Replies Part 1
1) “It’s time or some quality bullshit boyos! The Fight between Gunkleduster and McBee is about to start, since this is apparently what the arc was supposed to be about this whole time. Sure.”- It was a neat narrative trick Furuhashi pulled, playing up CC’s importance and role throughout the build-up to this moment to obscure knuckleduster’s own efforts working in the shadows, so when his plan becomes unveiled, both No:6 and the readers are equally unaware of the prep work he’s put into planning this fight and ambush, so he’s got some leeway to have pre-panned a lot of booby-traps specifically to counter No:6 and his tactics. Granted, it’s a bit of a stretch, but Knuckle is a batman expy, and Batman has preparations for everything.
2) “Aaaaand I already lost. Oh my god that one was fast but- Again Knuckles, when did you start going after McBee specifically? Also, when did you came up with this conclusion? Not to say, do you know how many fucking buildings there are that McBee could be sitting on top of? How did you even managed to find a place with a clear view of the exact one? “-  I think the diagram is a bit simplified for convenience’s sake. Odds are, yes there are a lot of buildings around that No:6 could stand on top of, but since he’s so arrogant, it’s pretty much guaranteed that he’d be standing right out in the open, under the impression that his speed would let him handle any such attacks that came at him in a wide-open area, not considering that fact that somebody might already have a high-powered gun in place aimed at his head from the start, so being in a location where he’s got a good view around him actually works to No:6’s advance in his eyes, since he should be able to see any incoming heroes and vamoose before they reach him. 
I’m reminded of Tomura viewing the Nomu rampage at Hosu atop a water tower, because it didn’t matter if anybody spouted him, he had a warp gate ready to go the second they got close to him. Secondly, just because there are a ton of buildings, if Knuckleduster can pick some of them that have a higher elevation that the rest that gives him a wider scope of view to see most of the buildings around him, raising the chances of him being able to shoot at No:6’s position even if he’s not exactly in the prime spot for a sniping shot to the brainpan, since that would play to his backup plan anyway. As it stands he was in the best spot Knuckle could hope for, but not even he can plan for the hand of the author throwing a bird in his face at the crucial moment. True, if he was in another location on the opposite side of the dome then Knuckle’s position wouldn’t work, but I bet he had about maybe 2-3 such locations mapped out in a triangular location around the dome to widen the range of his available shot, and he merely headed towards the one the afforded him the greatest view of the area No:6 was in and took his chances from there. 
Technically, the bullet doesn’t even have to kill No;6 to do its job- it’d be excellent for Knuckle if it did, but if all it does it catch his attention, then that’s fine too, because them he can move onto the backup plan and finish things with an explosion to the face, which also negates the chances for No:6 to survive his  bullet wound and escape whilst Knuckle’s hurrying over to the spot where his body collapsed. Honestly, given the chances that Knuckle suspected that No:6 was modified or enhanced in some fashion, he might have had doubts that the sniper shot would be sufficient to kill him even if it did land perfectly, but if it doesn’t, then it pretty much guarantees that No:6 will coming running right to him and step into his prepared home-field advantage, which is frankly the best chance a quirkless man has of beating a close-range fighter with a superpower. 
Still risky, but by fighting him alone, Knuckle maximises the chances that No:6 will step into the trap of his own free will, rather than running away if he sees Knuckle has a heroic type backing him up. In a way, Knuckle’s plan here maximises on exploiting the weakness he has fighting quirkless to lure No:6 into a location where he can best negate his advantages, so working out where to locate the best viewing angles in the surrounding areas to shoot from was a necessary first step for him to start taking on No:6 in Knuckle’s kind of fight- a totally one-sided, unfair beat down.
3) “Not only you found a building with a perfect clear view of him, but it was less than a quarter of a mile away from him- sure, Knuckles probably saw him and just moved to a closer building, but I choose to believe he was simply that lucky.”- Well, yes, there was a degree of luck involved in that, but from his position, I think Knuckle has a fairly good view of the surrounding rooftops for a much larger radius than he needs to shoot from, so it really is luck that No:6 happened to pick one that gave him a prime killing shot opportunity. Even if he picked one further away, I think Knuckle could still take the shot and it’d achieve the end result regardless, it’d just be more likely to be a wounding shot due to the distance and bullet drop involved in landing a more accurate hit from further away.
4) “OH WHAT THE FUCK
A BAT NOMU SURVIVED THE VORTEX?
GOD FUCKING DAMMIT, I CAN’T BELIEVE IT, THAT WAS WAY TOO CONVENIENT”- More like a random bird, which is even more convenient. The problem with making a character like Knuckles hyper-competent in fighting and planning is that for things to go wrong for them, it is necessary that the world somehow throw the more unlikely circumstances at them to derail their carefully thought-out plans despite all their efforts. Nobody can account for pure random chance, but given the timing and how laser-focused Knuckle’s vision was to land the hit straight to the skull, it really stretches disbelief that a random flying rodent would go through his line of sight at the exact moment he was squeezing the trigger.
5) “Shame that the Gunkle’s GUN is already about to be thrown aside, because only one shot would be allowed, and unfortunately God-furuhashi is a trickster deity, and wouldn’t allow things to be simple after throwing so many good ideas under the bus to allow this moment to happen. “- Well, more like one shot would be allowed to hit, since he did manage to reload and fire again, but the good thing about explosions is that you don’t have to be exactly nearby them to get hit with them, and from the looks of it, that Blast was right under No:6’s feet.
6) “And there McGoes McBee McJumping around
Alright, that was definitely not something that someone with a speed quirk would be able to do, but since there’s some debate over his origins then there’s a high chance of physical enchantments allowing him to do so.”- Hey, if you wanna be better than the original, sometimes the newer model needs an overhaul for better performance. Get some new tires, a new engine filter, faster electronic systems and your car will outperform the old model in every category- it’s the same principal. The only question is how much of No:6 has been modified over the years by this point…
7) “Is that- is that the fucking- no, it can’t be, it flew to the right, while McBee is coming at Knuckle from the front. This just so happens to be a random bird to happens to in the wrong place at the wrong time and now is going to be goomba-stomped by McBee…”- Or No:6 just decided to kill the same bird that accidentally saved his life because he’s a prick like that. Ok, it was a convenient mid-air foothold he needed to close the distance quickly, but still he probably had other ways of getting up to Knuckles besides that, unless he really wanted the air time to pull his ‘teleports behind you’ move on his ‘old master’.
8) “Holy crap he did end behind him, god fucking dammit I was right on the mark with that joke I hate the gift of prophecy.”-
Tumblr media
9) “Oh boy okay, so we immediately jumped on confirmations left an right. So McBee has some serious enhancements under the hood that explains those super-human feats that have been happening so far.
Thank you for getting straight to the point Knuckles, now throw the gun to the side and throw hands with him, I demand the fight of the century after that bird bullshit”- Well, throwing hands in a fair fight against a man who can beat you to death in less than a second is a suicidal move, but Knuckle is more than happy to throw bullets and bombs at him until he can’t use his Overclock easily anymore and then throw some good old-fashioned hands into the mix.
10) “Oh… Oh boy, time to delve into the past? Are we about to hear how Knuckles got his quirk stolen? Are we going to see how McBee got created? Actually, you know what, please refrain from throwing hands, we need to hear about this first.”-  Not exactly, but we do, at least, get some confirmation that the incident that caused him to stop being O’clock was the same one where he got his trademark scar, and presumably also cost him his quirk as well, not to mention his family life in the aftermath once the factory was done using him and moved onto his family to set an example. 
And as far as we can see, this all resulted about from him infiltrating some supervillain’s lair and getting into a fight with someone he shouldn’t have, which makes me think Knuckle found out something about the overall plan the VF is working towards, and they went totally overkill on him to shut him up, stealing not only his hero identity, but his civilian life as well. Lord knows what it is, but if that’s the extent of what they’re willing to do against somebody who gets in their way, then whatever they’re planning must be big.
11) “Wait what
Knuckle, you- you just said that you were looking for him? What do you mean by that? Didn’t you knew who he was? That certainly isn’t the vibe I got when you were talking with McMole, you certainly seemed to know exactly who it was that was using your quirk.”-  Not exactly, but he knows how dangerous his own power is in the hands of somebody who lacks his moral compass- plus, the fact that it’s his quirk he’s using means that this operative is somebody high-ranking and trusted within the VF, given that their last front-line man was his own possessed daughter, so he won’t be a cakewalk to take on. In fact, the advice he gave about how best to counter No:6’s speed sorta foreshadowed his entire plan here, starting with just trying to shoot him in the head, showing that he knows the weakness of the quirk in intimate details- even more than the man using it right now.
12) “Well, I sort recall where we last dropped, Koichi getting a new older brother figure in Aizawa, McBee losing his McShit, and the fact that there’s a good chance that Knuckle is either O’Clock, trained O’clock, or at the very least is McBee’s actual fucking father.”- 1 out of 3, but in fairness to that last one, No:6 is so obsessed with Knuckleduster even an outsider like Phelps can draw the parallels between them, and it takes Knuckleduster literally confirming it to his face to clarify that they’ve never actually met before. It’s sort of a Red hood/Batman situation, except Knuckleduster never actually trained this younger version of himself in his ways- he just got lucky enough to wind up with another deranged fan of his innate badassery deciding to model themselves on his example, though No:6 takes it far more literally than Future-Stain did.
13) “Oh- Oh fuck we’ll be tackling this problem then. Knuckles didn’t liked what he heard, because he knows exactly who this person might be. Fasten your seatbelts buckaroos, the hole goes way deeper than we were expecting…”- Turns out, No, he doesn’t know the Individual who has his quirk, but he does know the threat level his own power in the hands of a ruthless criminal can be. For all his pragmatism in a fight, Knuckle does has standards and morals that prevent him from being a murderer or killer worse than those he targets, but O’Clock’s power and ability to always make the first move in a fight is simply too great an advantage to leave in the hands of somebody lacking a moral compass, so he knows that this person is somebody he absolutely has to take down, otherwise they won’t be stopped by anybody, with Koichi and co unaware of the gravity of the situation, and the police’s rules and regulations preventing them from making the first engagement the decisive one, instead having to give 2 O’clock here a ‘fair warning’ first.
14) “First off: Bullshit that you don’t know, but that’s not what we should be focusing on here, its actually the fact that you suggested that they gun him down.”- And that makes me think that, whatever the reason he’s hunting the VF, it’s not to get his quirk back. Knuckle’s dealing with the person running around housing his stolen Quirk, and he’s showing zero hesitation in advising others to blow his brains out at the first opportunity, and trying to do so himself with Zero warning. I’m pretty sure not even AFO can drain a quirk out of a dead cadaver- only living bodies house quirks, so if he kills 2 O’clock, he loses his quirk forever, yet that’s exactly what he’s trying to do, and he’s more concerned with the possibility of letting 2 O’clock continue to run around with the sizable threat of his quirk in his hands than getting it back from him. Knuckle has some other personal reason to track down the mastermind, and it doesn’t seem to be just revenge for his family, or getting his quirk back.
15) “I thought you were here to save your daughter from a mind-controlling insect that killed your wife? Knuckles, you okay there? Did you forgot something or it turns out you enjoy the thrill of the fight more than your family?”- Or maybe he’s just looking forward to putting another piece of his sordid history with the VF in the ground, one that’s arguably just as personal to him as getting back his brainwashed daughter, considering Scarface is basically a villainous corrupted version of the past hero he used to be, and is bastardising Knuckle’s own quirk for his personal gain.
16) “Oh okay then, sure, there’s nothing about McBee since he was created in a lab, but I still feel like there’s something off, I was really under the impression that Knuckles knew who McBee was, if not having met him at least trying to track his trail, but now… now they are saying that Knuckles only got to know that McBee even existed recently, which, as said, is not the implication I got before.”- If somebody’s out there using his quirk, then Knuckles know exactly the threat level they have, and if they’re somebody who was chosen by the VF, then they’re clearly bad news, especially since whoever’s running the show seems to be taking a hell of a lot of pleasure out of tormenting Knuckleduster in ways big and small. 
They destroy him as a hero, take his quirk, take his family, further warp them into tools and test subjects of the VF and then further basterdise his legacy through giving his speed-based quirk to a direct operative? That operative is nothing but bad news, and has to be stopped regardless of the cost, even if Knuckle doesn’t know exactly who they are, simply because they’re just another kick in the teeth to him by whoever’s running the VF, so they’re guaranteed to be another twisted taunt to Knuckle, in much the same way that AFO went out of his way to twist Tenko into his successor just to screw nana and Yagi over out of petty spite and mockery towards their efforts. Even if No:6 has been raised in a lab, if he goes around using Knuckle’s quirk for evil it’s nothing but a twisted echo of the hero he once was- and in fact, becoming said twisted mirror of Overclock is exactly what No:6 wants, which might actually be the whole reason he was even given the quirk in the first place, just to further spite Knuckle.
17) “The only thing that now I feel I can safely discard is the theory of McBee being a clone of Knuckles, since, you know, I feel like he would’ve mentioned the resemblance to his younger self, so it’s either a genetic experiment or an actual Nomu, I doubt this fucker was just hired for this position.”- Ironically, the whole ‘clone’ thing wasn’t too far off the mark. Just, y’know, not a direct clone.

!Valentines Head-canons!
Tumblr media
Malleus:
-He honestly doesn’t understand the reasoning behind Valentines, was there an ulterior motive to it or??
-He kinda finds the whole “embracing love” topic kind of hard to swallow and embarrassing
-He tries to avoid it if he can just so people don’t question him about if he’s doing anything special or not (despite how far his intimidating vibes go).
-A part of him is strangely curious with how it feels to receive or give someone special something like?? He simply can’t imagine how it feels??
-Despite how cold and regal he comes off as he actually is intrigued by it-
-His curiosity gets the better of him as he buys his s/o a small chocolate bar and a little ribbon (just to prove to his s/o that he cares and actually tried)
-Depending on his s/o’s stance of Valentines as a whole he’ll either leave it somewhere private where he’ll know you’ll find it (if you are against the whole Valentines thing).
-Or he’ll find you during break once you’re alone to give it to you (if you’re fond of it).
-Surprisingly he’s over-thinking it a lot, what kind of things are you supposed to say like??
-He values “I love you” and doesn’t dare whisper them outside his chambers so he mutters a soft “I thought you would enjoy this” before handing it off.
-Later that evening he visits his s/o to see if they didn’t forget about him (or if they thought he was worth fussing over rather . . . ).
-11/10 he is quite flustered and genuinely shocked that his s/o actually does have a rather lovely bouquet of flowers (white death lilies to be exact; head cannoning these as his favorite cause ;;; eee)
-Low-key he protects these flowers from all his dorm-mates once he puts them in a vase like?? He’ll actually glare at anyone (cough cough Lilia and Sebek) whenever they ask about where he got them or try and touch them. (he brushes it off as simply not wanting them to get poisoned by their insolence :”) )
-Keeps them for as long as possible,until he can literally smell it decaying; he’s super enthused about actually receiving something (but Sebek and Lilia finally convince him to throw it out since it stinks)
-He’ll quietly without a word walk up to them and bring them into a short but very passionate kiss,before whispering a sincere “Thank you for your efforts”.
-Now in a rather cheerful(?) mood, Malleus is feeling extra playful and a steamy make-out session ensues; perhaps something more after that~?
Tumblr media
Leona:
-Has never been enthused over Valentines day as he was always ignored, whilst his brother was adored.
-Regards it as “just another stupid excuse of a holiday” day.
-Although he’s quite bitter about the idea of it at first,once you give him/treat him out on Valentines for the first time; he doesn’t know how to feel??
-Like he feels super mushy and he kinda like that?? But at the same time he hates how vulnerable he feels like it’s just gonna come back and punch him in the face later on-
-He then builds up the courage to ask you out to treat you to dinner/some other food related event (which he is in no way formal about; he’s super casual in manners/clothes)
-Once you get there he offers to pay for you straight up and to not hold back; taking him up on his offers he watches you eat quite amused, whilst slowly eating his own (occasionally slipping embarrassing/rude comments about you/how you eat)
-Surprisingly despite how much of a show off he is in class he’s actually not much of a talker although that’s not to say he’s a decent listener (HE REALLY ISN’T; he just day-dreams a ton about the future)
- Once you’ve both finished he’ll escort you back to your house/dorm where he’ll kiss and perhaps . . . sweeten you up a little~? ;’)
Tumblr media
Vil:
-Although he is picky and doesn’t really share Valentines with anyone in particular he still adores having a day to spoil himself even more; his self-love is super inspirational!! (he loves receiving free makeup/skin care products/ect.)
-Vil is a hopeless romantic himself however if someone is super anti-valentines he kind of gets conflicted as to whether to make a super bitter comment or tell them to cheer up (not in those words)
-Once he feels like his s/o is truly “the one” he goes above and beyond the norm; creating a whole rose petal path to his dorm room for a peaceful but very romantic evening~
-Including a candle-lite dinner and some wine (purely for the skin benefits)
-Although the conversation may be small talk at first he starts becoming more serious as he confesses how serious he’s taking this relationship and his intentions for the future
-Once he’s reassured that they feel the same,he’s honestly super relieved that the feeling is mutual and the two of you lay together (his head in your lap) as you tenderly brush and play with his hair
-However through an accident (or not ;”) ) he brushes his smooth fingertips up against your thigh and notices how red and flustered you get.
-Amused by your reaction he gets a little more wild and direct, leaving you two completely infatuated with each other for the rest of the night~

Hey Cat!! I hope you're doing well as always ! 💖 AHHHH huhu I closed the form last Sunday since I've collected enough responses dy! (NOOOOOOOO ToT) I got a total of 221 responses at the end of the week, which is 3x the amount I initially needed! :o I'm beyond grateful and appreciative ToT I've cleaned the data and have proceeded to run some data analysis, but I ran into an issue whereby the scores on the subscales are equal (it has never been reported in past studies! :O) so I'm waiting for my supervisor's feedback on how to proceed. Hopefully it's nothing too serious ToT
Hehe finance is interesting indeed! I just started reading a book on finance for young adults (Rich Dad Poor Dad) and I look forward to learning more from the author's tips! The Coursera introductory course has also made financial terms a lil more familiar, even though it's just the basics and it's really helped w my financial literacy 🥺 I can push myself to study but it's also the numbers and calculations I'm worried of cuz I am rly a nong (idiot) when it comes to numbers * - * it runs in the genes I guess AHAHAHAHA my mom and sister aren't good at numbers either keke
Aww I'm glad yr professor made financial accounting enjoyable and a fruitful experience for you! Some lecturers / professors rly just have that spark in them to inspire ppl and I'm blessed to be surrounded by a bunch of em in the psych department!🥺😭 it truly makes a difference and I'm sure we both are living proofs of that!
After debating for a while, I've decided not to take a minor mainly because I'm so tired HAHAHAHAHAHA and I'll just do my own self-studying and exploration whilst working! Go out and explore the world, live life! Whilst ironically still staying in my room because of the COVID-19 situation in our country (cases are abt 20+k every day :') ) My proposal has been finalized and it's been accepted! It's just that some elements of my proposal is also part of my actual report, so I have some guidance to refer to in terms of structure! :3 and yes don't worry! I got plenty (sometimes a lil too much) rest during the sem break whilst remaining productive! Plus, I got to catch up w some friends and had game nights (maybe too much of game nights hehe) and movie nights w my friends which was truly refreshing! Also cuz I might not see a lot of them again after we graduate so we gotta cherish every moment 🥺😭
I'm a freelance graphic designer for my uni's newsletter! Occasionally, they'd ask us to create both the content and design! I'll place the link to my recent work below if you wanna check it out! UwU I'm trying to incorporate the same practices during sem break in my last sem (current sem) too! cuz yes mental health is so so important and I'm just tired of being academically tired you get me? :(
What makes me most trilled abt learning abt psychology is how to apply it in daily life too! I find it so fascinating and awestruck at how relatable and within reach these things are like wow we can be influenced in such ways?? :o can be both good and bad but imma stick w seeing it as the development and evolution of us humans UwU
Also, the vaccine has fixed my sleep schedule HEHE (another perk of getting vaccination :3) I got some rly good rest and managed to reset my usual sleeping time, thank you science ToT oooo I see I see, we've had cases of nurses injecting empty syringes hence the recording :( but GHIOGHWEOGIOHW I could never do that, I can feel the liquid entering me as it is so that's good enough ToT (* plays Love Talk * I can feel it coming)
OMG YOUR ART PIECES ARE SO BEAUTIFUL, ADORABLE AND ELEGANT! 💖🥺🥰 it must've required a lot of hard-work and effort AHHH thankiew for showing me yr work!! it's truly unique in its own manner despite it's simplicity UwU is there a reason or backstory to yr chosen theme and objects? :3
I just Googled Somi Somi and omg that's such an UwU ice cream AHHHH 💖🥺😭 ice cream is my fav food of all time and it looks like an ice cream haven omg imagine eating it after a loooong hard day's of work ToT and OMG THE SATISFACTION OF EATING THAI MILK TEA ICE CREAM ON A HOT DAY YASSS 😋🤤 hehe if you get the chance to try milk & biscoff, do try it! It's amazing !😍 and ooo i haven't tried alcoholic ice cream before but I will one day!! :3 my alcohol tolerance is rly low though, will I get tipsy over alcoholic ice cream? We shall see UwU (i can only drink half a bottle of apple cider before my face gets red and I start getting a lil tipsy + headache)
and lovie....knowing yr school schedule now...OURS IS DEFINTELY BRUTAL OMG a 3 month long sem break huhu that's only the total amount of sem breaks we get in a year ToT i thought uni was hard but not that hard ToT
Always glad and honored to have you onboard! and AHAHAHAH the contractions about to start soon 👀 I enjoy talking to you huhu you're such a sweet and supportive person 💖🥺🥰😙 huhu for my period cramps, I've been having them since I was 12 ToT my doctor prescribed me some panadols but sometimes I can't even swallow them cuz I'd puke them out ToT I've settled w heatpacks to reduce my reliance on medicine, but I finally got some upgraded and safe to eat medicine from my gynae! She said it's fine to take it every month to keep my womb healthy and apparently my ms. lil uterus is suffering from inflammation, hence the super crazy bedridden cramps :( the upgraded medicine worked for a while, but after time it kinda didn't help either :/ but I realised that exercise rly does wonders to reduce the cramp too (gynae also recommended exercising) so i take walks and do my back stretches more frequently now! my period in the previous months (2 months ago) have been almost painless and bearable, it's so weird not seeing my bedridden ._. when I was in high school, there would always be a day in every month in which I don't attend classes, and that's solely because of my cramps. It just isn't worth suffering in school, plus we don't have a sick room :/ I hope the pain continues to subside! ToT
And ayy internship is also working experience, yr advice would be of great help to me regardless! 🥺 oh yes, I always remind myself that interviews are similar to the speaking test I took for my Cambridge English exams! That kinda help calm my nerves down a lil, but w nerves comes bigger smiles, so I guess it takes on a rather practical form of coping mechanism (sublimation) AHAHAHAHA
WAAAA WHAT A QUEEN you got an offer from every interview?? I aspire to be like you! 💖🥺🥰 huhu skill wise I believe I have lots to prepare esp in terms of case studies, and I perform rly poorly on certain assessments (*ehem * esp those concerning numbers) so I took the chance to study a lil during sem break too ToT but noted on that! I will work on that too and try to maintain that me element in interviews and overall just be myself keke
That's all from me for now! Imma wait for my supervisor's feedback and journey on w my last semester. Bon voyage! Link to my recent work: https://www.instagram.com/p/CTBqGzjr6sN/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Other works: https://www.instagram.com/p/CPpv-IyM7Gi/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link https://www.instagram.com/p/CL55EG-MbL2/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

aaaa yes i did !! i was really surprised that i got an offer from them all because at the time, i was not in the right major and i think i was one of the most underqualified applicants 🤧 one person who interviewed me asked why i withdrew from my engr physics class and i explained it in a kinda funny way but in my head, i was like "oof i'm not gonna get this offer anymore" but then he laughed at my response and told me about how his prof told him he should drop a guitar class he was taking because he was doing very poorly and we bonded over that aklsjdhfkals omg how do interviews for psych jobs go? do you have to discuss a lot of case studies? do they give you a list of possible case studies they'll ask about? :o what sort of assessments do you have to do? good luck on all of your interviews, honey bee 💛 i'm rooting for you, you're gonna do amazing !!!! 💘
omg what did your supervisor say about your case study? and how is your last semester going? are you almost done now? 🌸 (also how have you been? what have you been up to? thank you for taking the time to leave such detailed messages for me, i'm really excited to see all the fun updates in your life, lovebug 🌷🌷)

car insurance : 10 questions with answers
Dear reader, we are honored to visit
our site
and hope to find everything you need in this article.
1.How does classic car insurance differ from conventional car insurance ?Classic car insurance will give you what the car is actually worth and or what you feel the car is worth. Conventional insurance will not. Let’s say you have a beautiful 1965 split window corvette. Maybe it’s worth a $100,000. Collection insurance will want photos of the car and maybe an inspection of the vehicle. Once they agree on the value your good to go. However there are rules, like limited miles you can drive, garage kept, they can be very picky. Regular insurance last I heard will give you blue book value. Do the research. There are some very good collection companies around.
Insurance companies and having fun with this.
The UK MOT test now has public information data about current and historical mileage.
Thus now we can see/prove/audit that there are many tens of thousands of old cherished cars - that literally do not move for years on end. (Less than 500 miles every 5 years).
Big data analysis will show clearly to insurance companies which classic cars are massively profitable to insure.
A mainstream loved semi-classic car has a market value of £4,000 or less. (eg. 18 year old Mercedes convertible) driven by a busy,, employed, 50 year old with 2+ cars
On fully comprehensive insurance - the risk held by the insurance company is £3.5K for total write off of the car and any 3rd party claims (on a vehicle that hardly moves). The risk to the policy owner is loss of 4 years no claims bonus and a 10+ year claim free profile.
Big data will show to the insurance companies that these are very profitable policies
2.Does the wrong address invalidate car insurance ?
That depends on why it is wrong. If you move, while you should notify your insurance company, but don’t you are more likely to get cancelled because you didn’t pay your mailed bill (assuming that is the option that you selected).
But if say that you live in Miami, Florida (the most expensive place in the state to get auto insurance, and you claim that you live just outside of DeFuniak Springs, Florida and then have an accident in Miami, Florida, the insurance company could say FRAUD and VOID your policy as if it never existed. Because you had an uninsured accident, you would probably lose your driver’s license until you made the other driver whole again! Short of that, it usually wouldn’t be considered Material, and they would back bill you for premium OR give you a refund.
3.Is rental car insurance a rip-off ?
yes and no.
if you are using your insurance and crash the rental car, you can be liable for the complete cost of repairs AND lost revenue while it is being repaired. this can be full price of the rental all the time it is being repaired. this can be a ton of cash. also if you chip the windshield the rental co can charge you for a complete new windshield or repair the that one. your insurance may or may not cover any or all of this. needless to say you will have to deal with it one way or another.
if you buy the EXPENSIVE rental car insurance you are covered for all damages including all the “little scratches”
i was 21 and rented a car to go to a job interview 2 day rental. well i put almost 1600 miles on the car. when i returned the rental agent was mad i had put that many miles on an unlimited rental. so she went out and nitpicked everything …. i just watched as she pointed bugs out as dents and everything else. when we went in she disappeared a returned with a 2400.00 repair dollar bill. and demanded how i was going to pay. i just said i paid the 15.00 for the full insurance and that would cover it , she grabbed the rental agreement and read it, her face turned red. and i left….
4.Is it okay to not have car insurance for a few months ?
Probably expecting a bit of heat for this one but here goes.. lol.
I live in Spain and about 14 years ago or so I was forced under pressure to get rid of the Suzuki jeep… which looked a fair bit like this I suppose. No power steering and the uncanny ability to just spin right around on itself in slightly greasy roads….
which had the widest back tyres I think I have ever seen on a car.., anyway, it had to go, saw an ad for a Mitsubishi Shogun , a lot like this
UK plates and only came with an export certificate from UK. Seems the guy who brought it over was intending to change it over to Spanish plates but never got round to it. Swapped the Suzuki plus 3 grand and off we went. First time I had driven an automatic, was a joy and no mistake…proper built like a tank too.. awesome car.
Drove that car for almost 8 years on that export certificate, no MOT and insurance papers I made my self on the computer by copying a mates documents and changing the pertinent details. Spanish cops had at that time.. and possibly still now, no way of actually checking the veracity of insurance papers, if they looked legit, they were accepted.
I understand that in the last few years DVLA having softened a little and offer a yes or no answer to Spanish enquiries as to whether a UK registered car has a valid MOT or not… no other info is given. I assume thats data protection at work or some such. Its that yes or no that has gotten rid of a load of UK plated cars from Spanish roads, now you actually have to have one, so either you know someone who has an MOT garage and can produce one for you or you drive back to get it done, which isnt usually viable.
So ye, its ok to not have insurance for a few months or even a few years, as long as you can get away with it.
5.Can realtors write off car insurance ?
It depends on the method they choose to use to write off their car expenses. If their car is used less than 50% for business, they must use the mileage method which includes all operating expenses including insurance. If they use it more than 50% they may choose to use the actual expense method or the mileage method. If they use the actual expense method they can deduct the business % of gas, repairs, interest, insurance, depreciation, etc. Either method requires them to keep a mileage log.
6.Does my car insurance cover my friend when they borrow my car for a day?
In the UK read your certifcate of motor insurance.
If it says
“Any person driving on the policyholder’s behalf or with their permission” or WTTE then they will be covered. (There may be age limits in the schedule of insurance but these cannot appear on the certificate). (Also cover will be for pleasure use only unless the wording on the certificate specifically includes business use by your friend).
If it does not say that then, unless your friend is named on the certificate of insurance, they are not covered under your policy.
This does not necessarily mean that they are uninsured when they drive your car, since they may have an insurance policy covereing their own car with the “driving other cars” extension. “The policyholder may drive, with the owner’s permission a car not belonging to the policyholder nor hired to him under a hire-purchase agreement”. If this clause is in effect it only covers their Road Traffic Act Liability and does not cover loss or damage to the car whilst in their control. Note that it is your duty to check this. If your friend doesn’t have such cover then you are ‘aiding and abetting’ a motor offence of driving without insurance - offence code IN12 - which will substantially increase your car insurance premium - despite the FCA announcements today.
7.Can a 19-year-old afford car insurance ?
Driving a car is a privilige, not a right.
Unless you are in gainful employment and living at home, I suspect you will have to rely on the bank of mum and dad. But if you think getting insurance at 19 is hard - imagine trying to get it at 17 and 18.
Many teenagers go with a company that assesses the premium based on information sent to them by a ‘black box’ added to the car. People who drive sensibly and only durting the day pay a lot less than those who drive recklessley and at night - even if the latter have no accidents.
The first year is by far the worst. If you go claim free for a year then no only will you be 20 rather than 19 - but you will have one years no claims discount - which will knock about a third off your premium.
(Oh and don’t try and pretend the car you drive is owned and registered with your parents and that your mother is the main user. Insurance companies are not stupid. People who own a vehicle one or two years old don’t normally decide to buy a second vehcile that is 10 years old for their own use.)
8.What are the worst car insurance companies in America ?
As others have alluded to, the whole insurance cabal and racket is on par with a level or two less integrity than the drug cartels run in Mexico and South America.
Still, some insurance companies make an effort to comply with law and regulation, while others just have a standard operating procedure to act like bad-faith criminals.
One company stands out as the worst of the worst:
Bristol West
If you bought insurance from these scoundrel's, do yourself a favor, and immediately change. But don’t change early, or you’ll pay outrageous cancellation.
If you get hit by someone with this insurance, put in your claim with your own insurance, or you’ll just be wasting your own time.
9.How much do I need to pay for car insurance ?
Without knowing where in the world that you live, nor your age, sex marital status, other drivers in your household, driving records, and car or cars you trying to insure.
You can't save time or money by asking an ambiguous non informational question here. You will have to do it the old fashioned way, calling around to agents or companies. You can also go online to the companies and agents but NOT TO THOSE SITES THAT PROMISE TO TELL YOU THAT THEY'LL TELL YOU EVERY COMPANY'S RATES. That is a LIE plus you are putting yourself at risk for identity theft, and here are the reasons:
None of these sites has ALL of the companies. They only show those companies paying them to be there.
Even if they show an Allstate, a Progressive and/or Geico, these companies all have multiple rating levels for different types of drivers from preferred for the very best risks down to theworst risks out there. Those kinds companies might only have one or two of their rating levels on each of these sites, so if you don't qualify for those that rating tiers you won't be given a rate from those companies. Likewise if the company that truly is cheapest for you didn't pay for that website to show their rates, you won't see them.
They will sell your personal information to multiple agents and/or companies. This means that you will be bombarded by people trying to sell you auto insurance.
And since they don't check that the person indeed buying the leads are insurance agents all of your personal information could end up in the hands of identity thieves.
NOTE: IDENTITY THEFT DOES NOT HAPPEN FROM INSURANCE COMPANY OR AGENT'S WEBSITES!
10.What do

lovers need to know about car insurance ?
Find out how buying a sports car impacts on your car insurance, from cost to cover. There’s nothing specific you need to look for in an insurance policy on a sports car, per se, but it’s always a good idea to read the policy wording in advance if you have anything specific you want covered.
Some of us love football. Some of us love cricket. And some of us love motorsport. The sports we like are part of our identity, and if you’re a motorsport fan you might want to express that through your choice of car.
We’ve put together this short guide to help you better understand the implications of owning a sports car from an insurance point of view.
Find out how buying a sports car impacts on your car insurance, from cost to cover.
What to look for in an insurance policy on a sports car
There’s nothing specific you need to look for in an insurance policy on a sports car, per se, but it’s always a good idea to read the policy wording in advance if you have anything specific you want covered.
For instance, you might want to be sure you’re covered against vandalism or other such malicious damage to the tyres, paintwork or (on a cabriolet) the fabric roof.
Even if you’ve found a policy that covers every scenario you can imagine, you must fully disclose all details of the car to avoid having an insurance claim refused. This includes any optional extras or other modifications that have been made by you or a previous owner.
What qualifies as a sports car ?
For the purposes of insurance underwriting, Admiral defines sports cars as cars designed as performance vehicles ‘from the get-go’: things like coupes, roadsters and GTs.
Having said that, your car may be considered a sports car even if it doesn’t fall into one of these categories.
Car manufacturers recognised years ago the demand for high-performance cars which were practical and spacious enough for the real world – cars for people with children and hobbies, essentially.
Traditional sports cars are designed to be lightweight, compact and aerodynamic, but this usually means a cramped interior and little or no luggage space.
So, over the years, and with changing attitudes towards what ‘sporty’ means, we’ve seen the arrival of the hot hatchback (as defined by the iconic VW Golf GTI), the sports saloon (think BMW M5) and, more recently, the performance SUV (such as the Porsche Cayenne).
Why is insurance on sports cars more expensive ?
Every new car is placed into an insurance group based on the risk associated with it, and risk is calculated using statistics about past claims on similar cars. Risk takes into account both how likely you are to make a claim, and how much it could cost to put right if you do.
When it comes to sports cars, the first (and perhaps most obvious) thing insurers look at is their performance. Many sports cars are fitted with engines that provide rapid acceleration and high top speeds.
And they’re engineered to mimic the driving characteristics of racing cars, with responsive handling and potent brakes – all designed to help you carry as much speed into, through, and out of corners as possible. All of which increases your likelihood of being involved in an accident.
They are also, often, more expensive to repair or replace, because of their high sale prices or because parts are more specialised. And they may present a more irresistible temptation to thieves, making a theft claim more likely.
What are the cheapest sports cars to insure ?
We've compiled a list of the 10 sports cars with the cheapest average premium between January and March 2021.
Of course, the car itself is only one of the factors used in calculating premiums, so the characteristics of the average owner of these cars (including age, driving history and No Claims Bonus) could explain why the premiums are so affordable.
The models listed combine cars of all ages and values, including both hard-top and roadster equivalents sharing the same name.
Porsche Boxster - £404.04
BMW Z4 - £437.52
Polestar 2 - £446.07
Mazda MX-5 - £451.80
Porsche Cayman - £488.42
Porsche 911 - £509.19
Porsche Macan - £518.03
Nissan GT-R - £582.02
Toyota MR2 - £586.39
Ford Mustang - £586.77

How do you deal with other writers? A writer I looked up to had been leaving positive comments on my fics but eventually stopped commenting altogether and basically told me they were trying to be supportive, but my writing isn't really their thing.
My fics are niche as it is (a rarepair in an already very tiny fandom), so I don't get a ton of kudos and comments to begin with. They write for a popular pairing and have the most popular fic in the fandom.
I am absolutely heartbroken and I'm doubting myself. I'm in a discord that includes this writer and now I just feel bad and want to leave the server, but I would miss the other friends I've made there. I just feel like my writing sucks and I don't fit in with all the great writers on the discord and I don't have anything to add to conversations anymore. I also feel like I don't want to read and comment on their fic anymore, because it just reminds me that mine aren't good enough.
First off, I just want to say that your feeling of heartbreak is validated. This writer shouldn’t have told you the reason why they read your stories. Writing is hard enough, let alone getting any feedback for it! And I truly feel there are ways to approach things where honest feedback can help (if requested by the writer for such feedback!), but most of the time, people post online in these communities for validation of what they’ve worked hard on. As a fellow writer, I’m ashamed to read someone knocked you for your writing, knowing full well how much effort each individual puts into writing. 
Writing is a form of art and expression and not showing the respect it deserves even if it’s not your cup of tea really grates me. I personally don’t like some genres of writing and have read some stories that aren’t my thing. We all have in our journey as a reader! However, I would never go around telling another writer anything less than “good job”... your work doesn’t deserve to be diminished all because they feel they are in a position of power to do so. 
However, I think a lot of us all have doubts about our work, and how we fare in the writing communities that we belong to. So you’re definitely not alone in this! 
For me, I will admit that whilst I’ve loved immersing myself around other writers, getting to know how they approach certain topics and how they enjoy writing and sharing that joy with them, there’s a whole other side fuelled on by my insecurities, that I find myself struggling with the concept of being an active member of any writing community. I have had moments during my time here where my writing has truly been impacted by these communities and my desire to be accepted and feeling like I’m not. I understand your current mindset of not wanting to contribute or feeling your input would not be worthy in this Discord server. I’ve been there before myself!
It’s damn hard to be a writer and maintain an audience. It’s two different worlds. We write for the enjoyment of the process (well, I hope that’s what you write for), and we post for the feedback of said work. If we don’t get interaction, we’re less motivated to continue. But allowing your writing journey to be dictated by others isn’t fair to you, or the words bursting to be written either. As hard as it is, if you’re happy writing in the genre that you do and it brings you joy, then that’s the main thing. 
Right now, I feel the impact of others is causing your self-doubt to go beyond the level it should. You have been given “evidence” from this writer, who you’ve respected and now you carry that around on your shoulders. I think you need to step back, or leave the Discord server temporarily, and focus on how to navigate the “evidence” this person has given you. How can you remove the baggage this careless person has thrown at you? You don’t have to carry their problems around. Because as hurtful as this is, and cruel as this person was knowing full well that you no doubt have supported them a great deal in return, you aren’t the one with the problem. They are. And they simply made it your problem by voicing it. Their voice matters and they don’t seem to realise this or care enough, given their status in the community. Which isn’t uncommon, sadly.
But you also matter. And I truly hope this ramble of an answer allows you to feel so. You’re not alone and you are worthy. Your work has no doubt touched someone out there. It’s so easy to focus on the negative comments but I bet you’ve had some really kind ones as well. Go back and reread them. You might find some healing in knowing you matter from this exercise.
I truly hope you can rediscover your confidence as you are good enough.

Tryst (Kakashi x Mei)
The rather harsh and barbaric reputation of the Bloody Mist Village faded with its former leader’s passing. And in Yagura’s place, the young Godaime Mizukage transformed Kirigakure, and restored it to the highly functioning and prestigious shinobi nation it is today.
Mizukage Mei, an incendiary flower, a woman more perceptive than most and known for her lonesome beauty, had succeeded in stabilizing her village after such a dark and blood stained history. With time, her reputation preceded her, with reforming internal policies and improving diplomatic affairs, Mei tirelessly worked night and day, obliging her Kage duties and responsibilities. She was sacrificing her personal life, and all that it included, for the sake of the village and its people. But some days were harder than most, and on those days, Mei often found herself craving the touch of another. She really hated how picky she had become with age, and often cursed her damned sex drive. But she craved the intimate touch of another, especially after long and demanding days.
At the reminder of her most recent pact… a secret pact she had made just days prior, Mei chuckled darkly as she felt her cheeks warm at the fresh memory. Opening her window, trying to cool her flushed face, the Mizukage finished dressing and readied herself for the gala event the Feudal Lords and Daimyo were throwing downstairs in her honor, somewhat ignoring the faint but familiar chakra signature idling just stories below.
To think you would actually be waiting outside my window…  
Smirking under the long bangs that shrouded her face, Mei combed through her long locks one last time and applied a bit of color to her lips. After blowing herself a kiss in the mirror, she stood and made her exit, turning back to give the open window a last minute glance before disappearing into the stairwell.
With one hand gracing the banister, Mei descended the grand staircase in the most dignified of ways, all befitting of the prestigious diplomatic leader she had come to embody. With each stair, her long legs slipped through the thigh high slit in her cerulean gown, the light silk fabric flowing behind her with ease as she made her way down to the main floor, where her hand was met with an obligatory kiss from her head guard, Ao.
"We've got unexpected company, my lady."
"So it seems. Just remember what we discussed, and see that it gets taken care of."
"Yes ma’am."
"Be sure to fetch me when it’s done, okay?"
"Yes ma’am."
"Good. Now if you’ll excuse me… I have some schmoozing to do.”
With a deep and reflective inhale, Mei wore her seductive grin across the floor, her charisma guiding her through the crowd of cretins and pompous Lords and Ladies that had gathered in hopes of appeasing their Kage. It annoyed her to no end, but she had to control her emotions. What did these people know about being a shinobi… a kunoichi even? They knew nothing of pain, sacrifice, or true loss. The only loss they knew involved the loss of paper from their wallets. It was disgusting, really.
Day and night these pigs drool over me, bitching about money here and money there… offering mere pocket change for high rank missions, but dropping tons of cash for pointless ass kissing parties like this… these idiots! This whole party could have funded my shinobi for weeks! What a waste.
Clearing her thoughts and throat, Mei simply offered a polite and reserved smile… gritting her teeth to quell the lava she was tempted to spew during such trite and pointless conversations. They went nowhere and provided little, if any, substance. After making her rounds, talking to all the “important” individuals in attendance, she sat down at her chair at the head of the long and excessively adorned dining hall table where they were to enjoy an elegant five course meal.
Rolling her eyes at the pomp of it all, Mei sat displeased. Disinterested eyes watched everyone enjoy their meal, her restless and perfectly manicured nails drumming on the ostentatious table cloth. Bored with always being the center of attention, Mei often made it a point to stare down each one of the men who let their lingering gazes go unchecked in such long, lewd intervals. Even whilst their wives sat beside them, their disgusting glances still sought her out. But as she returned the favor, putting them under severe scrutiny, she reveled in watching them unravel and fall to pieces. They thought they were so smooth, but as soon as she played at their own game, they crumbled before her… mere specs of ash.
Ha, those pigs! They should be so lucky!
Scoffing at the useless scum littering her presence, her mind flashed with more appealing images, her cheeks flushing with remembrance.  
"Hmm, I wonder how things are going…" she whispered to herself, turning up the glass as she finished the remainder of her Sake.
Proving to be impatient and politely excusing herself from the table as the final course dishes were collected, the ball continued behind her, the music drowning out her enthusiastic humming as she jovially ascended the stairs. She couldn't bother waiting for a signal now, not when she knew he was so close.
Meanwhile…
Kakashi stood below the tallest building in Kirigakure, his eyes drifting towards the windows of the Kage quarters as he made his perimeter sweep. Noting the security detail at the front doors seemed to be excessive tonight, he watched from the shadows as fancy carriages and ornate palanquins brought in an endless parade of stuffy upper class citizens. Judging by their formal attire, and the distant hum of music, the festivities must have already started.
Satisfied that nothing else seemed out of the ordinary, Kakashi took a seat and leaned back against the pillars of the building across the street, pulling out his ever present copy of Icha Icha Special Shinobi Edition, now with twelve additional pages of full color illustrations. It had been a wondrous gift.
But before his eye could make its way through a whole page, he briefly glanced up at the lit window again, this time, wide open with its light blue curtains undulating in the breeze.
It had to be a sign.
Smiling to himself beneath the taut fabric of his mask, he laughed off his attempt to hinder his impatience, stowing his beloved book in his back pouch as he stood.
It was time for a quick visit.
Sleuthing through the dark of night, he made his way across the street in a flash. After he was sure he had not been seen by the guards, he concentrated his chakra to the bottoms of his feet and scoured up the building in no time, light on his toes as he slipped through the open window and into the seemingly empty room. With his eye searching for his target, his brow creased a bit as he felt some what disappointed.
Was his timing off?
Had he misread the situation?
Promising himself he’d return later in the evening, Kakashi sighed as he turned back towards the window. Before he could make his escape, he felt the air leave his lungs as he was thrown to the ground, his body hitting the floor with a jarring thud. Coughing and sputtering Kakashi held up his hands innocently, trying to explain the misconception, but his words fell on deaf ears as he was picked up and dragged along by two burly no-nonsense shinobi.
Tossing his body into a chair like it was a rag doll, the two voiceless thugs secured Kakashi’s hands behind the back of the chair. After his ankles had been bound to each leg of the chair as well, Ao stepped in front of the masked intruder, his stone cold stare beaming straight through the man who was laughing nervously at the whole situation.
"Look… I think there has been a huge misunderstanding. See, I was just-"
"Just trying to what? Creep into the Mizukage’s bedroom? Seems you really are just a pervert, aren’t you, Copy Nin?"
"Well, that is a matter of opinion. But you should know, I had no ill intentions towards Mei."
*SLAP*
"You dare use her first name in my presence, you perverted punk?! You shall address her as Lady Mizukage, unless you feel like losing that tongue of yours” Ao warned, pulling his hand back, satisfied with the harsh hit across the smug leaf ninja’s face.
Accustomed to interrogation and prisoner etiquette, Kakashi barely flinched as the back of Ao’s hand made contact on the curvature of his cheek bone, his exposed eye blinking once before staring back up at the narrowed eye of the other.
"I’m sure you’ll find that Lady Mizukage is rather attached to my tongue, as am I. So if you’ll just hear me out… I’m sure we can all have a good laugh about this.”
*SLAP*
Scoffing at the Copy Nin’s ill attempt at humor, Ao retracted his hand once again, pleased with his hit across the offending mouth. He really had no patience for this man, and was taking his job a little too seriously at this point, smirking down at the other with a sense of superiority.
Still tingly from the last backhand across his face, Kakashi chuckled briefly. Spitting a bit of blood out through his mask, he turned his amused face back towards the man in the eye patch who seemed to be enjoying this.
"I’m not interested in anything you have to say, Hatake. You are trespassing and I should have you dealt with accordingly. You are a long ways from home, so I’m having a hard time believing you just got lost. So save your tired excuses."
"What makes you think I have an excuse? I may have a legitimate reason for being here. Shouldn’t you ask questions first?" Kakashi lilted, a sly smirk hidden beneath his troublesome mask. "Seems they do things a little differently here in Mist.”
Just as Ao pulled his arm back to land another hit, the door opened abruptly and a sharp voice halted his efforts.
"Leave him to me, boys. You’re dismissed."
"Aw, but we were having so much fun together" Kakashi feigned, his glare never leaving Ao’s. He loved the fact that he could see the old man’s nerves unraveling his usually stoic features at the realization that his playtime was over.
As the two giant shinobi made their exit, Ao walked around Kakashi, lowering his head to his ear, making his final threat.
"If you hurt her, Kami-sama as my witness... I shall make you pay."
"Roger that" Kakashi nodded in response to the man’s brash promise, keeping further comments to himself as he heard the him clench his teeth and turn on his heel towards the door.
With the click of the lock, Kakashi’s smile seemed to reappear as Mei sauntered over behind her detainee, slim arms smoothing over his bound shoulders and down the taught expanse of his chest.
"Seems like you’ve gotten yourself into some trouble, Ka-ka-shi" the Mizukage purred, her lips barely grazing the outer shell of his ear.
"Nothing I couldn’t handle, Mizukage-sama" the silver haired jonin disclosed in a gruff tone, his spine straightening as her breath tickled the side of his neck.
With her fingers clawing down his chest, a brief sigh left his lips, his curious eye watching her efforts as a hand ventured down across the front of his pants.
"Oh? It appears you like being tied up and toyed with. Does the great Copy Ninja Kakashi like to play rough?" she suggested, her hand following the curve of his growing erection.
"You have no idea."
"Don’t I?" Mei grinned as she walked around to face the tethered man, her elegant fingers raising his chin to her as they shared a prolonged look of hidden meaning.
Climbing atop Kakashi’s lap, straddling his seated form, green eyes combed over a masked face as she let a finger slip beneath the edge of the black cloth. Slowly sliding it down, the material pooled at the base of Kakashi's neck, revealing his full face for her to enjoy.
"Ao always did hate Leaf ninja… some things never change I guess" Mei pouted, leaning in to lick the remaining drop of blood off his slightly swollen lip.
"Good thing I got here when I did. Any more trouble, and I might not be able to enjoy this handsome face of yours" she teased, biting her bottom lip. “That mouth of yours does seem to get you in an awful lot of trouble.”
"It may get me into trouble, but it is more than capable of getting me out of any trouble I might find myself in” he confessed with a smirk.
The silence built between them, the tension palpable as they sat facing each other, a curious gleam in their eyes as they simultaneously broke down the wall between them. Without tender caresses or whispered sweet nothings, the two were upon each other, their faces colliding together, kisses filled with urgency as they both consumed each other arduously. She, a powerful Kage, and he, an infamous and highly decorated shinobi from another village. It was a thrill they both enjoyed.
In the the throws of their heated exchange, they silently agreed to use each other. They both knew all too well of the risks and irritating pretenses of the dating game, and chose to steer clear of that train wreck waiting to happen. Those were roads too often traveled for their liking, a mutual point they had both made very clear in nights prior.
As the Copy Nin's hands gripped her waist, his fingers digging into her sides pulling her close, he simply chuckled at her surprised gasp.
"Like I said, nothing I couldn’t handle" he chirped, holding up his freed hands that he had released some time ago, making quick work of wriggling his feet free as well.
With an impressed nod, Mei crashed her lips upon his at once, humming delightedly as she felt his tongue slip between her lips, tapping at her own. As the searching muscles danced around, she put up an honorable fight for dominance before submitting to Kakashi’s fixed determination.
With a victorious growl, Kakashi ran his hands under her dress and up the finely toned thighs of the powerful woman atop him, his fingers meeting no resistance as they reached her hips.
"Naughty naughty, Mizukage” he teased, “No panties under this beautiful gown of yours?"
"What for? They only get in the way” she gasped between kisses, “You said so yourself."
"How very true. But let’s not forget why I came tonight, Mei-sama" Kakashi added in the darkest of tones. "We have unfinished business."
"Oh, that? Can’t it just wait until later?”
"No. Now” Kakashi demanded, ignoring her wanton groan as his hands squeezed her firm backside, picking her up as he stood from the chair.
Walking over towards the desk in her office chambers, Kakashi caught her lips once again, not interested in any excuses. He had an objective, and he wasn’t leaving until he completed his mission. He was stubborn and set in his ways, but even more so, he needed this and would not be convinced otherwise. They had both agreed to it.
Setting the Mizukage down upon her own desk, he attacked her neck, kissing and sucking his way down towards her collar bone, ripping the slit open to expose the porcelain skin of her lower half. Loving her mewls and moans wafting over his ear, he felt his blood boil with lust. His hands squeezed over her voluptuous endowments, fingers gripping the laces that were sewn tightly, but barely keeping her inside the dress, and ripping them open. This woman must be his. There was no question about it as he forced her legs open with his tight grip, kissing his way down between her now exposed breasts.
"So much for this dress... it was my favorite, too” she pouted.
“I'd get you another one, but I prefer you naked.”
“Really, Hatake, you ruin everything" she teased between sighs and hums of approval.
"Sign the papers" he countered, taking a pert nipple between his lips, staring into her eyes, awaiting her answer.
"I told you… that can wai-ahh!"
Grabbing her by the waist and flipping the frustrating woman over, Kakashi pressed his pelvis flush against her, holding her down against the desk. Withdrawing the folded papers from his inner vest pocket, the unyielding man leaned down over her back, slamming the document down onto the desk in front of her.
"Sign it, please” he begged, his voice straining behind his teeth.
"Why should I?"
"Because I know you want to... I won’t ask nicely again.”
"Is that a threat, Hatake-san?" her shaky voice questioned, hips impatiently pushing back against Kakashi’s prodding member.
"It’s a promise."
Leaning up, Kakashi let his hands push the dress up, exposing her bare ass as he let his hand come down harshly across one cheek with a loud slap.
"Sign it."
"You are a pushy one, aren’t you?"
With another slap across her other cheek, Kakashi dug his fingers into her flesh, urging her on.
"Ahhh!" her voice cried out at the stinging sensation filling her hind quarters.
"Sign it. Now.”
"But I seemed to have lost my pen…"
Another resounding smack filled the dimly lit room as he spanked her once again, his tingling hand removing a pen from his pocket, placing it on top of the papers in question.
"Sign it. Or I will tease you within an inch of your sanity. Do not test me."
Noting her stillness, Kakashi shook his head in disbelief. So this is how she wanted to play? Allowing a finger to slide down the cleft of her ass, he followed the curve down and around until he reached the sensitive bundle of nerves he was searching for. Lightly grazing the moistened bud between her legs, the weight of his torso pinned her flat against the desk, keeping her jolting body still amid his torture.
"Tsk, tsk. Not so fast. Sign the papers, and this can continue" he cooed, giving his fingers a flick across the swollen bud.
"Mmm...” she whimpered, unable to speak at the moment.
Judging by the lack of vocalization, Kakashi knew he was getting somewhere. Continuing his efforts, he let his finger slip between the slick folds at the apex of her thighs, his diligent digit sliding deep inside her warm cavern, urging her to follow his orders.
"Do it" he growled, his voice low and from the depths of his throat as he tried to coerce her through his ministrations.
Sighing as he removed his hand, he added another finger, before slowly reentering her again, pausing just as he leaned down to whisper in her ear.
"Sign. The. Fucking. Papers."
"No! Don’t stop..."
Withdrawing his slippery fingers, smirking at the juice that dripped from each fingertip, Kakashi placed them into her mouth, not interested in hearing anything she had to say until her signature graced those pages.
With his free hand, the Hatake freed his own erection from its confines, nudging the head against her flooded entrance, making sure to never let it slip inside as he prodded against her, awaiting the delicious pressure that would engulf him.
"Sign it, and I’ll give you what you really want.”
"Ugh, you dare tease me?!" she yelled around his fingers.
"Who’s teasing? I told you what you have to do. Now do it."
"Fine!" she cried, licking his fingers clean like some sort of starving animal.
Grabbing the pen and signing her name across the blank, she huffed impatiently, "There! You happy now?!"
Smiling victoriously as the happiest man on earth, Kakashi kissed her neck, nudging her once again.
"Why yes I am, Hatake Mei-sama.”
With one swift thrust of his hips, Kakashi entered her fully, buried to the hilt in this woman… his woman. She was officially his now. They now belonged to each other, and only each other. Initially, she had joked about taking his name. But now that she was screaming it, he thought it very befitting.  
Their lewd noises filled the Kage’s private office quarters as Mei gripped onto the desk below her. With every roll of his hips, she felt her body shiver at the sensation of being filled so fully by this man. He was driving her crazy, and she was enjoying every minute of it.
Her panting breath and guttural moans divulged her true state of mind as she felt completely enraptured by the relentless man behind her. She loved that this was what she could now enjoy whenever she desired. Kakashi was not only a generous person, but also a generous lover. He made sure all her needs were met, and knew exactly what buttons she liked pushed.
Every time their bodies connected, the spark between them grew. They soon found themselves thirsting for the other in their absence. Seeing how they currently lived in separate villages in separate countries, their thirst developed into a violent need. It overpowered their senses and could cloud their judgment. As a leader and an elite shinobi, this was not a great side effect of their relationship, but soon that would all change.
Just as he claimed her on paper, he claimed her now. With a few last thrusts, Kakashi emptied his seed deep inside the woman he loved, collapsing on top of her. They felt their bodies melt after their simultaneous release, the exhaustion of orgasm had torn through them, leaving them both drained and sated.
As his vision returned to normal, Kakashi planted kisses along Mei's shoulder, his hands reaching under her, taking a breast in each palm. Kissing his way up to her neck, he smiled against the soft alabaster skin, loving the way her body was still twitching from their exhaustive efforts.
With her breath returning to her, Mei chuckled darkly as she licked the corners of her dry lips. “Well, that was certainly worth the wait.”
“Yes, it sure was” he agreed, wincing as he slipped out of her slowly.
“Aw, is play time over already?” she pouted, shivering at the loss of his body heat, the cool air hitting her exposed backside.
“For now, but I'm not done with you yet” he promised with a devious grin, “Tonight, My Dear, we celebrate.”
After zipping his pants, Kakashi extended a gentlemanly hand, helping Mei stand up from the desk. He chuckled as the rags of her dress fell down around her waist, leaving her chest exposed. The slit was ripped as well, leaving nothing to the imagination, but she was quite the sultry vision in her tattered cerulean silk.
Pursing her lips, the Kage planted both hands on her waist, looking down at her sad excuse of a gown, “What a mess you've made of me.”
Swiping the auburn bangs out of her face, Kakashi leaned forward, kissing her in apology, “You look beautiful.”
“I better, you're stuck with me now.”
“Gladly” he added, lifting her chin and claiming another kiss.
“I hate that you have to go now. When will I see you again, Dear?”
“Anytime you want” he quipped candidly.
“Oh, is that so?”
“Definitely.”
“How so?”
“I've got a little surprise for you.”
Collecting the signed papers from the desk, Kakashi put them in his pocket for safe keeping. Enjoying the confused look on his partner's face, he then retrieved the scroll from his pouch, laying it out across the desk for her to see. Upon the scroll was an intricately woven spiral seal, consisting of braided strands of characters and symbols, with a tied knot of sorts in the center.
“What am I looking at here, Kakashi?”
“It's a special contract I made for us.”
“Contract? But this looks more like a seal.”
“It's a summons. We'll soon be able to summon each other whenever we want. No more waiting. As my wife, whenever you need me, I'll be there.”
“How?” she questioned through a small grin forming on her lips.
“First, like any summons contract, we'll need to supply a blood sample and fingerprints to the center. Be sure to use your left hand for the prints, that will be part of the second step.”
Both bit their thumb, as they dripped blood over the knot in the center of the seal. Just beneath, they stamped their left hand prints, effectively signing the contract and sealing their bond for life.
“Now what?”
“Now, for step two” Kakashi smirked.
Centering himself in front of the scroll, Kakashi went through the tedious chain of never ending hand seals the contract required. With all the precision of a proficient fuinjutsu user, Kakashi made such a feat look relatively simple. After he made the last seal, he grabbed Mei's left hand, extending both of their hands over the contract.
“This may sting a little” he warned, “But it'll be worth it.”
Right before their eyes, small bands of the black characters appeared upon their left ring fingers. Slowly, but surely, the braided pattern of symbols was burned into their flesh. The sizzle of their skin was minimal, and even though it was more than a little sting, it wasn't any more than either of these seasoned shinobi could handle. After the burning stopped, the seals around their fingers glowed red, before fading to black.
It was done.
“Now,” Kakashi began, kissing the seal on her finger, “We can see each other whenever we please.”
“So, no more waiting?”
“Nope... and no more getting picked on by your body guards, either.”
“Now that, I can not help. You really do rub Ao the wrong way, Kakashi-kun” Mei laughed, kissing him generously.
“I guess the man was just doing his job and didn't know any better. I can appreciate that. Are you ever going to tell them who I am to you now, Dear?”
“Well,” she sighed sarcastically, “I guess you leave me no choice.”
They held each other closely, admiring the new tattoos on their finger. It symbolized their union, and neither of them cared if anyone knew about it now. As shinobi, they knew all too well the target that would be placed on the back of the one you loved most, but they were both more than capable of handling their own. No one dare stood a chance if they were to come between them and their bond now. It was written in blood, and could not be broken.
Their celebratory evening had indeed been fun and full of surprises, but as dawn broke, it was time to say goodbye. Mei tried to hold up the pieces of her torn dress as they walked shoulder to shoulder down the hall of her living quarters towards the open window at the end. Kakashi jumped up on the window sill, turning around to claim one last kiss before he began his journey home.
They were both exhausted, haggard in appearance, and in desperate need of sleep... but it was worth it. Blowing him a kiss, Mei watched in awe as Kakashi swiftly departed, missing the calls of her guards as they ran down the hall to her side, her appearance having caused them to worry.
“M-Mizukage-sama... are you o-okay?” Chojuro stammered, wielding his sword, ready to strike.
“Mei-sama, what did that bastard do to you? I'll kill him!” Ao blurted in a blind rage.
“No need, boys” Mei grinned, “That bastard is my husband.”
Laughing aloud, Mei slipped behind her bedroom doors, leaving her guards frozen in shock out in the hallway. They would definitely need a few minutes to process her last words judging by their dropped jaws and twitching eyes. She had other plans in mind though. She slipped out of the remains of her dress, discarding it on the floor and laid across her bed.
Lifting her hand, she admired the new tattoo once more, loving the mark they had left upon each other. She was missing him already, and this would not do. She was a newlywed after all, and as such, should be celebrating.
Biting her thumb, smearing the bead of blood across the black band upon her finger, she uttered the magic words. In a poof of smoke, Kakashi appeared before her, grinning beneath that ever present mask of his.
“Honey, I'm home!”
