PROFESSOR GHOST PLS

ADFJLDJADFJAF

Okay it's definitely not a fleshed out idea, right? Me and @guyfieriii got to talking a while back about how it would all go down and I wrote...a little.

The premise has Ghost as a poetry professor but honestly I don't love that, so IF. IF I were to do it, I'd probably make him an anthropology or archaeology professor. Someone who regularly goes out into the field but generally stays in one place most of the time.

(Tangentially, Soap would be a marine chemist and Gaz would be maths of some sort. No I will not explain.)

-

The lecture hall falls near-silent when Professor Simon Riley walks in, and you can tell he notices it immediately.

In your fellow students’ defense, he does not exactly have the classical look of a college professor. He looks like he should be pulling blocks of wood apart with his bare hands, or maybe wrestling bears. Hell, you’d probably mistake him for a bear in bad lighting just by the size of him.

The lectern is comically tiny as he approaches it. You wonder if he could smash it with a well-aimed elbow jab.

“I’m Professor Riley,” he says, laying his notes down in front of him with paddle-size hands.

Good-looking hands, too. Your front-row seat has you close enough to see that. Long-fingered, veiny, angular in the knuckles.

“I’m not gonna waste my time going through the syllabus,” he continues. His voice is deep, brassy, Manc-accented and not bothering to hide it. “Considering you’re all grad students, if you need me to hold your hand through that you won’t make it far.”

You, of course, have read the seven-page document twice already.

“Now, I imagine you’re all wondering,” says Professor Riley, “why we are starting with Byron. Easy answer. I hate the cunt and rather would have him over with.”

You’re startled immediately into laughing, but you swiftly turn it into a cough when you realize the hall is dead silent.

That’s when Professor Riley looks at you.

You’re too surprised to avert your gaze. His expression is droll, but—there, at the corners of his mouth. A tugging, like a smile held back just in time. His gaze holds yours. You’re too far to tell the color, but you can see something almost like a spark in his eyes. Crow’s feet gather at their corners.

Oh. He knows how he looks. He knows everyone is scared shitless, and he’s enjoying it.

“You might also be wondering why we’re spending two weeks on Dickinson,” he says. He has not dropped your gaze. “And if you’re wondering that, then I do wonder why you’re in my classroom at all.”

You finally have to look down, warmth spreading across your face. He really is—well, good-looking, after a fashion. When you look back up, he’s swept his gaze elsewhere, but then he glances at you again with amusement writ clear on his face.

He shifts his posture, slides one hand into the pocket of his slacks. He really is terribly broad, seams pulled tight across his shoulders, and all of it pure, hard muscle. His sleeves are rolled up to his elbows, exposing the shifting muscles in his forearms, which are soft with a layer of hair the same auburn as the lazy styling of curls on his head.

He points a remote at the overhead projector, and then turns to look at the screen, directing the enormous breadth of his back to the class, but more importantly, to you.

If he’d chosen a black ensemble for the color’s slimming effect, it was not working for him. He could sling you over his shoulder no problem.

I was tagged by @arendaes & @cassynite to post my wips and let people ask me about them/post excerpts! The issue is, I don’t name ANY of my documents. They’re all “Untitled Documents”. I just search by character name and click through until I find the one I need. So. WIP Roulette.

For that wip game: "the desk" intrigued me because of it's vagueness.

Thank you!! 💗 this one is based off this pic I took an age ago: it’s a naughty one lol

Sam is not a man of want. But lately his mind is filled with lecherous thoughts. Of passion. Desire. Of well—want. He’s finished his fifth set of push-ups and stands swiping the sweat off his brow. It’s done nothing to curb or satiate his appetite and he takes a deep, steadying breath as he plants his hands on his hips.

There’s a knock on the door frame. “Hey,” Shepard says. His eyes flick to her low cut crop top and she’s got those tight leather pants on.

He wants to take all of it off and bend her over his desk, the only thing separating the two of them, and—

“Hey,” he says back with a gentle smile and small tip of his hat.

#bear writes #wip roundup #wip game #listen 99 percent of my starfield wips are just smut 🥴

[fazedlight]

I think all of my current WIPs are shaping up to be 7-10k one-shots. Wordcounts so far:

(3.5k) A character study with no change to the timeline

(1.9k) A character study with changes to the timeline

(1.9k) S5 rift fic

(1.1k) S5 rift fic but high angst

(6.7k) An AU

(3.1k) A rarepair that I may use for @supergirlmayhem

It occurs to me that I don't really know the difference between Canon-Compliant, Canon-Divergent, and AU.

I've seen my fics described as Canon-Compliant. They certainly start at specific points in canon, and often weave into the season's higher-level plot (despite changing everything about where the characters are). I've mentally thought of them as Canon-Divergent.

But I've also seen fics described as AUs when I think of them as Canon-Divergent. Like, would it be reasonable to call my Worldkiller Kara fic a "Worldkiller Kara AU"? I'm not quite sure where that line is.

Anyway! I'm happy with my WIP progress. I don't think I'll post any of these in October (I think it'd get lost in the sea of supercorptober stuff, though I'm very much looking forward to seeing what other people do 👀), but maybe November or December I'll have some fun stuff to post!

please may i have a crumb of reincarnation au 🤲

Of course friend!!

Reaching around towards the back of her head, Marnie pulls on the seafoam-green ribbon keeping her hair back. It’s the only splash of color she’s wearing, swathed in white as she is, aside from the red paint on her lips. She takes Natalie’s hand and wraps it around her wrist once, twice, and then ties it off neatly in a bow. Already Natalie knows she will keep it forever. 

“To keep you safe,” Marnie explains when it’s done. “I can wait as long as it takes, as long as you’ll come back. But you have to come back. I can’t lose you. Neither can your family.” 

Instead of replying, Natalie leans in to steal a kiss from her. In the back of her mind, she wonders if she should be frightened by how right it feels, but in a way, she thinks she has always known. There isn’t another person in the world who makes Natalie feel like she is enough, just as she is. 

“I have to go back,” Marnie whispers against her lips. “They’ll be looking for me soon. I…”

Natalie uses a thumb to wipe away some of the smudged paint. “This isn’t the end.”

The smile on Marnie’s face almost makes her tack on another three letters, but she doesn’t. When she looks back on this night in the future, she will wish more than anything that she did.

Natalie will never see her again.

WIP game!

What we leave behind? 👀

Ooooh, this is my newest Starfield wip. It's an angsty short story inspired by, you’ve guessed it, Trix’s latest trip through the Unity.

Sarah arrives in Akila City, searching for Sam, who has been absent from the Lodge since his fiancee Trix mysteriously disappeared during a grav jump the night before their wedding. Sarah wants answers, but is Sam ready or even willing to give them?

Works In Progress: Round-Up

@sordidmusings, thank you for your tag. It's really lit the firecracker and having the fingertips sprinting to complete these WIPS. Thank you for holding me accountable and just being amazing.

@writingmysanity, @gingernut1314: I would love to hear what you're both concocting up with your beautiful words. Share with the class, I'm all eyes and ears.

@feral-artistry, @empressofmankind: Have you got any sneak peeks of your art you'd like to tease? I am keen!!

Rules: Post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them and then post a little snippet of it or tell them something about it!

There are a few, so I'm going to add a page break. If you're keen on reading below, I'd love to hear which ones you'd like to steer me on towards.

One-Shots

Open Mic Night (request) (One-Shot) Buggy x Reader

A night off from their regular duties, the Buggy-Pirates drunkenly stumble into a small tavern running an open-mic-night for the locals and tourists to indulge in singing away their blues and joyful lilting of melodies.

Usually one to shy away from the spotlight to support others in stampeding towards stardom; Buggy's stage-hand, under the liquid courage and support driven to her by her coworkers, decides to utilise her voice to finally chase the thrill of her own moment within the spotlight. The Clown-Captain is simply enchanted by her.

Kintsugi (one-shot) (mood board) Buggy x Reader

An artist amongst the Buggy-Pirates longs to demonstrate how truly beautiful she finds her beloved clown-captain; even though he himself cannot see it. Through the art of kintsugi and the use of the chop-chop fruit; she paints and repairs him piece by piece to form him completely within her skilled hands.

Mambo: (Dance Series) (request) (one-shot) Bogard x Reader

Leaving him jilted in your youth and opting to become a world renowned antiquities appraiser and artist, you are again reunited with your young love at a night hosted by your boss at his artistic manor. With your art showcased around the halls, embellished in hues of gold and bronze, your confidence was unwavering. Apprehension left you as he invited you against himself to reminisce with him of what could've been, swaying to the music in the arms of one another. Will the smoldered flames rekindle? If not for the rest of your life, surely one night would not change anything...

Bolero: (Dance Series) (one-shot) Garp x Reader

The daughter of a wealthy noble notices the eyes falling to her at the banquet table. Her dalliances' with those closer in proximity to her age was so far inadequate to satiate her desire for adventure and danger. If she askes this silver fox to dance with her after the evening meal, will she experience the thrill she so desires within the arms of an older man?

The Hawk and the Weasel (request) (one-shot) Mihawk x Reader

Overcome with fatigue, exhaustion and rage; the Hawk finally has the Weasel within his talons. At long last, you are captured and will be taken to receive justice at the hands of the world government. The two of you are beyond tired, but Mihawk does not trust you not to wriggle yourself from his clutches. He has no choice but to cuff you against himself, trusting only the gentle flush of the heat rising from your body against his own to be theonly way he knows you're still contained.

The Bear and the Bow (request) (one-shot) Shanks x Reader

To win the heart and hand of a fair maiden, many a foe attempted to best her in her skills as an archer. All failed in their attempt, none succeeding in besting nor wooing the warrior-woman. But there was one that began weaseling his way into her very soul: a red-head with a liver for rum, a smile like sunlight and the eyes of a commanding storm.

Jig (Dance Series) (one-shot) Shanks x Reader

A night of drinking and merriment amongst the red-hair pirates led them to spill their frothy ales atop the benches and floorboards of a run of the mill tavern; much to the disdain of the waitress being tasked with trailing their havoc and tidying their mischief. The captain of the red-hair pirates longs to bring a smile to her face; as she caught his eye with her surliness each time he graced her port, yearning for a reaction from her stony expression. Perhaps if he could persuade her to join him for a jig, she might break from her contemptuous expression.

Foxtrot (Dance Series) (one-shot) Koby x Reader

The Marine Ball was either a joy for the upper-class cadets, or the ruin of many a lowerclassmen amongst them. Admiral Garp began his instruction, pairing up the differing classes of cadets with their perspective counterparts; the pink-haired quick learner becoming flustered under the confident presence of his dance partner. Her compassion for her skill alongside his apprehension to engage in the dance drove her to teach him how to confidently and successfully lead her in dance.

Series:

Sapsorrow: (ongoing series) Mihawk x Reader

"Whom so ever fits the ring becomes wed to the warlord who owns it." The Governess of Dracule Mihawk at Castle Kuraigana has accidentally invoked an ancient curse against the worlds greatest swordsman. By slipping a ring onto her finger, she has become engaged to the former Warlord. She lays out three impossible circumstances for him to complete in order for them to be wed, truly not knowing Mihawk's life is at stake should he fail to meet this task. Apprehensively, their walls break down as they get to know each other better in formal courtship - no matter how they try to fight it, it's happening and feelings are being caught.

The Apprentice: (ongoing series) Mihawk x Reader

Mihawk is a bitchy boss, the apprentice is his bratty underling. Professionalism, sword-mastery and affiliation for wine consumption drives their relationship.Mihawk pushed his apprentice a little too far, prompting her to submit a formal resignation effective immediately. Calling her bluff, he attempts to chaperone her towards a cellar door to begin an afternoon of wine-tasting, only to find absence at his side as his apprentice simply walked away from him. And he was angry about it.

Trios One-Shots:

S.O.S (one-shot)(mood board) Sir Crocodile x Reader x Sanji

She longs to escape, but plays into the role of complete obedience to her powerful employer. As a last ditch effort, she sings in French to avoid suspicion; claiming the gaze and attention from a young, blonde chef in Alabaster - immediately longing to release her from her entrapment.

Cabaret at Baratie: (one-shot) Zoro x Reader x Sanji

The Straw-Hat pirates return to Baratie to settle their dining debt. Music coming from the kitchen, the crew finds a mysterious woman completing domestic back-of-house duties with Patty and Carne; wearing scantily clad clothing and performing a dance of mischievous seduction with the two chefs amongst cleaning the dishes. Chef Zeff, welcoming them back, informs the crew: a travelling cabaret crew has been performing at Baratie for the past month. Two crewmen amongst the pirates become immediately infatuated by the playfulness of the woman in the kitchen, vowing to compete for her affection. Who will win? How could she possibly choose between them?

Eyes Meeting: (NSFW one-shot) Zoro x Reader x Sanji

While clutching the back of the open shirt of the blonde chef, braced against the kitchen counter as he smother's your neck and jaw with sweet kisses, you notice a small shimmer of gold in the doorframe. Was Zoro watching you? Was he watching both of you together? Keeping your eyes fixed on the door and silencing your breaths, your eyes meet with the intense hazelnut stare of the swordsman: watching you both intently.

corishtola hw makeup, please?

ty viking! 💚

corishtola hw makeup - i actually wrote this today between tasks at work 😂 but its part 2 of a fic for which i have not written part 1 lol. part 1 is cori's grief making her upset with shtola and lashing out a bit right before they have to work together for the alex raids, and part 2 (this one) is the conversation they have after the alex raids that leads to them making up. I think you've done the alex raids but if not, there's not really any plot spoilers below.

Silence builds, heavy and uncomfortable, between them, a tacit acknowledgment of the unfortunate conversation they had the morning Y’shtola left Ishgard. ‘Twas the last time they had spoken to each other about anything other than Alexander. Perhaps that is the best place to start—straight to an apology. She starts to speak but before she can even say their name, Corisande tips her head toward [Alexander]. “What do you make of it?”  Y’shtola turns to face it, considering. She gestures at the aetherotransformer resting at Corisande’s feet, the aura of their aether coalescing around it. “Machinery is rather more your area of expertise than mine, I would say.” “I should think you an expert in this particular machine, after the week we had.” There is a hint of teasing in Corisande’s tone, a glimpse of a part of her that has been distant since Y’shtola’s return from the Lifestream.  Y’shtola clings to it, desperate to linger in this bit of light before it passes. “We certainly know more than most, but I dare say Alexander keeps secrets yet.” She glances sideways at Corisande with a shrug. “But I do enjoy a challenge.”  That brings a smile to their face, slight though it is. “That is certainly one of your areas of expertise.”

I’ll take Untitled #5 in the WIP game!

@mygreendandelion

The carriage coming to a harsh stop is what startled Mahanon awake. It only took him a moment to evaluate his surroundings; Gideon curled against him, his own head against the side of the carriage. He peered outside and saw darkness, but, squinting, could make out the faint lights of the tavern where they would stay for the remainder of the night. He supposed that Josephine would suffer no further marching.  The door swung open, and he was quick to hold a finger up to his mouth to shush Cassandra before she could rouse Gideon from his sleep. She glared, but Mahanon carefully scooped Gideon up into his arms and exited the carriage. He might be shorter than the Herald, but he was far stronger. Gideon was like hoisting a few dandelions in his arms; utterly inconsequential in weighing him down. “We need to speak with the Herald,” Cassandra insisted as Mahanon found his footing on snowy ground. He shook his head. “It can wait until the morning,” he insisted, fighting back a yawn of his own. “It is late. There is nothing that needs to be said that cannot wait for breakfast.” Mahanon moved swiftly inside, and did not give Cassandra any further chance to argue her point. Usually he would prefer to investigate the room himself and deem it safe for Gideon, but exhaustion still tugged on his own eyelids, and Mahanon found himself without much other choice than to trust that the Inquisition soldiers were capable of doing their jobs. He kicked the door closed, laid Gideon in the bed, and then made sure the curtains were drawn.  Gideon could gripe at him about sleeping in their clothes tomorrow. Everything could wait until tomorrow. His complaints about Vivienne’s handmaidens would at least wait until their journey back to Skyhold. Mahanon stripped himself of his armor and slid into the bed, wrapping his arms around Gideon and pressing his face into his back. So many allowances he’d made, he reminded himself, but he could hardly find the presence of mind to be bitter about it when he recalled Gideon’s smile in the fading sunlight.
