Gap Filler (2)

Summary: Lack of communication leads to fallout.

Pairing: Walter Marshall x fem!Reader

Warnings: angst, Walter being a douche, break-up, mentions of break-ups, amends, angry reader, unplanned pregnancy

A/N: A short drabble to the miniseries.

Gap Filler (1)

Walter feels like he’s losing his mind. He’s pacing the room, driving the lab assistant crazy. She huffs and shakes her head. Not only does Walter ask for an unauthorized analysis, but he also gets on her nerves.

“Sir, the results won’t come faster if you keep on walking holes into the ground. It will take as long as it takes.”

“I’ll be back in half an hour and need the results by then,” he huffs and turns to leave. “I know you’re not happy that I called in a favor. This is an important, life-changing event. So please, hurry up. I need to be sure if I bring something for the baby too.”

She furrows her brows but says nothing. Three years ago, Walter did her a favor without asking questions. She will do the same for him to pay him back and to be even with the grumpy detective.

“Half an hour,” she nods. “Got it.”

“…and?” Walter expectantly looks at the lab assistant. He never felt so much pressure on him before. Not even while on the hunt for a killer. “Please tell me you have the result for me.”

“Here.” She hands Walter the results. “Now we are even. Never ask me to do something like this ever again. I could lose my job.”

“If you forget about the test and the results, we are even.” He looks at the results. His heart jumped for a second before he remembered what he said to you only a few days ago.

“Detective.” She nods and turns back toward her equipment. “You shouldn’t waste more time. She’s on the way to start a new life far away from you.”

Walter huffs. The last thing he needs is someone telling him that he fucked up big time. He already knows there’s no way you’ll forgive him.

“Can I help you, sir?” The clerk at the shop asks. She’s looking at Walter standing in front of a shelf. He looks left and right, unsure what to buy. “Sir?”

“Hmm…” Walter dips his head to look at her. He has his arms crossed over his chest as he tries to decide on a gift hamper. “I need a gift for…” He sniffs and looks back at the shelf. “…my pregnant girlfriend. It should say, I’m sorry and happy to become a dad at the same time.”

She frowns. “You want to apologize with a baby gift hamper? Sir, I don’t know your girlfriend well, but that’s not the best gift for an angry pregnant woman.”

“How do you wanna know?” He cocks his head to watch her look at the shelf herself. “I want her to know that I’m happy about the baby and that I’m sorry for saying all those stupid things.”

She huffs now. “You are always sorry, aren’t you? Men are all the same. Do you believe a half-hearted apology and a random gift will make things up to her? How dare you come back to her to do it all over again!”

“Whoa, I didn’t ask for your opinion or help. If you’d excuse me now,” Walter angrily says. He glares at the clerk, pissed at her cocky attitude. “Whatever crawled up your ass is not my fault or problem. Nice customer service.”

He’s too angry to focus on buying anything at the shop. Walter storms out of the shop, squaring his jaw. The young woman at the shop wasn’t wrong. Walter hurt you beyond repair, and this can’t be fixed with a fucking gift hamper.

“I’ll take two, no, three of these.” Walter points at the flower baskets. “No, this is stupid. Give me your prettiest bouquet of peonies. She loves them.”

He looks around the flower shop, frowning deeply. There’s a beautiful orchid and a large cactus next to it. Walter shakes his head and laughs. “An impossible match,” he murmurs before pointing at the plants. “I changed my mind. I’ll take these two.”

Packing up your things to move out of your home feels wrong. You learned to love your apartment and turned it into a cozy home for you.

Not so long ago, you had hoped Walter would move in with you one day.

All your hope got shattered the day he told you Rachel is back and that he wants to try again. Your heart broke, and you mourned the life you could’ve had if only Walter felt the same.

Now you’re going to raise the life growing inside of you alone, far away from the friends you made and your beloved home.

“Well, this can’t be helped,” you murmur while rubbing your belly. There’s no swelling yet, but soon enough people will know you’re expecting. “We are going to do this all on our own, bean. Don’t worry. Your mommy is going to give you all the love you’ll need.”

For a few moments, you allow yourself to be sad about the breakup. You cry, you scream, and then you get up to pack up a few more things.

Walter is a nervous wreck. He paces in front of your apartment, the cactus, orchid, and a baby gift hamper in his arms.

“Fuck,” he curses. “Fuck, fuck, fuck!” Walter curses himself for being a fool. If only he knew that you never wanted to leave him for a better position.

How could he be so blind? How could he not see that your feelings for him were true?

His instinct should’ve told him you are not going to leave him. Instead, he ignored his instinct and listened to the nagging voice in the back of his mind.

“FUCK!” One last time, he takes a deep breath before knocking at your door, using his right elbow.

“Hello, what can I—” You stiffen when your eyes meet Walter’s blue eyes. “What are you doing here?”

“I should ask you the same!” He huffs. “I told you so often to not open the door before checking who’s on the other side.”

You huff. “This is how you want to start this conversation? Really, Walter?” He smirks when you put your hands on your hips to glare at him. “What brings you here? Do you want to make sure I’m leaving? Maybe Rachel needs a new apartment, and you want mine.”

“Baby,” he hesitantly says. “Rachel is not, and never will be, a part of my life. She wanted to return for a few months, but we didn’t stay in touch. I lied, believing you want to leave me too. I was hurt and believed hurting you would make me feel better.”

You narrow your eyes. “For a smart detective, you are dumb as a brick.” Slamming the door in his face, you huff. “FUCK YOU!”

“Baby? Uh—will you at least let me explain things? Please?” He knocks at your door again, using his foot this time. “Y/N, please open the door. The cactus is poking my chest, and the orchid looks like it's scared of me.”

You’re tempted to open the door, almost giving in as he keeps talking. “No.”

“Please, at least take the plants. You see, the pretty one is you, soft and sweet. The large, ugly beast is me, rough and grumpy. Even though they are so different, he loves the pretty orchid.” He sighs deeply. “And he hopes that the pretty flower loves him too…”

Walter listens closely. He sucks in a breath when you curse behind the door.

“Baby, I know about the baby,” Walter continues. “I know what I did and said was unforgivable, but please talk to me…”

In the Glow of the Lab Light *⁠.⁠✧

donnie x male!reader

The lair was quiet, save for the soft hum of Donnie’s lab equipment. Earlier, it had been alive with energy, laughter bouncing off the walls as you, April, Casey, and the turtles played games and ate way too much pizza. But now, everyone had retreated to their respective corners to sleep.

Everyone except you.

The fire was everywhere, roaring and relentless. You could feel its heat, hear its crackle as it devoured everything in its path. The smoke burned your lungs, making it impossible to breathe. Voices screamed your name, but you couldn’t reach them—couldn’t save them.

You woke up with a sharp gasp, sitting bolt upright. The air in the lair was cool, but it felt suffocating against the sheen of sweat on your skin. Your heart raced, pounding so loudly in your ears you barely noticed the tears streaming down your face.

You rubbed your hands over your face, fingers brushing against the scars that marked your skin. The burns—visible reminders of a night you could never forget. A night that had taken everything from you.

You didn’t notice the soft footsteps approaching until a voice, gentle and laced with concern, broke through the silence.

“Y/N?”

You turned to see Donnie standing in the doorway, his bo staff in one hand and a frown creasing his brow.

“I heard you,” he said, stepping closer. “Are you… alright?”

“I’m fine,” you said quickly, your voice shaky and unconvincing. “Just a bad dream. Go back to bed, Donnie.”

But he didn’t move. Instead, he set his bo staff aside and crouched down next to your bed. “That didn’t sound like just a bad dream,” he said, his voice quieter now. “Do you… want to talk about it?”

You hesitated, your hands clenching the blanket tightly. You’d never told him the full story. You’d never told anyone, really. The scars on your body were explanation enough for most people. But Donnie wasn’t most people. Or turtle...

“It’s just… memories,” you finally admitted. “Of the fire.”

His eyes flickered to your scars for just a moment before meeting yours again. “The fire that…?”

You nodded. “That took my family. I couldn’t save them.”

Donnie’s gaze softened further, and he sat down beside you. “Y/N, it wasn’t your fault.”

“I know,” you said quickly, though the words felt hollow. “It’s just… it always feels so real. Like I’m back there again.”

He was quiet for a moment, and then, without a word, he reached out and placed a hand on your shoulder. The gesture was small, but it grounded you.

“I can’t pretend to understand what you went through,” Donnie said, his voice steady. “But I can promise you this: you’re not alone now. If you ever feel like the memories are too much, I’m here. You're my boyfriend, and I don't want to see you suffering because of this, thinking you can't tell me anything. I'm here for you.”

You looked at him, the glow from his lab casting soft purple light across his face. “Thanks, babe.”

A small smile tugged at the corners of his lips. “It’s what I do. Emotional support genius, at your service.”

Despite everything, you chuckled. “Is that an official title?”

“It is now,” he said, standing up. “Come on. Let’s go to the lab. I have some projects I could use your input on. Distractions are an underrated coping mechanism, you know.”

You followed him, grateful for the excuse to leave your nightmare behind.

You followed him to his workstation, where he rummaged through a drawer before pulling out a sleek, circular device. “This,” he began, holding it up, “is a prototype I’ve been working on. It’s designed to help regulate stress responses.”

“How does it work?” you asked, curiosity momentarily overriding your anxiety.

He smiled faintly, the excitement of explaining his invention clear in his tone. “It uses biometric feedback to monitor your heart rate and breathing patterns. When it detects elevated levels of stress, it emits a calming frequency.”

You raised an eyebrow. “So, it’s a stress-busting gadget?”

“Essentially,” he said, handing it to you. “I haven’t tested it much yet, but… I thought it might help you. Especially on nights like this.”

Your chest tightened, but this time, it wasn’t from panic. “You made this for me?”

“Well, I made it for anyone who might need it,” he said, his voice dropping into his usual awkward ramble. “But yes, I had you in mind specifically. Your well-being is—uh—important to me. Very important.”

The corners of your mouth lifted into a small smile after kissing his cheek “Thank you, Donnie. Really.”

He cleared his throat, clearly flustered. “It’s what I do. Genius inventor and, apparently, boyfriend extraordinaire.”

You chuckled softly, reaching out to take his hand. “You’re definitely both.”

Donnie squeezed your hand gently, his thumb brushing over your scarred skin without hesitation. “Y/N, I can’t erase what happened, but I’ll do whatever I can to make things easier for you.”

“I know,” you said, the weight on your chest lifting just a little. “And i love you for that.”

The two of you stayed like that for a while, the steady hum of the lab filling the silence.

Air-Insulated vs Gas-Insulated Switchgear: Which One is Right for You?

In the world of power distribution, switchgear plays a vital role in ensuring safe, reliable, and efficient control of electrical systems. But when it comes to choosing the right type of switchgear for your application, a common debate arises: Air-Insulated Switchgear (AIS) or Gas-Insulated Switchgear (GIS) — which one is the better fit?

In this blog, we’ll break down the key differences, pros and cons, and application suitability of each, helping you make an informed decision.

What is Switchgear?

Before diving into the comparison, let’s quickly recap what switchgear is. Switchgear is a combination of electrical disconnect switches, fuses or circuit breakers used to control, protect, and isolate electrical equipment. It’s critical for fault detection, power isolation, and system protection in electrical networks.

Switchgear typically falls into two main types based on insulation medium:

Air-Insulated Switchgear (AIS)

Gas-Insulated Switchgear (GIS)

What is Air-Insulated Switchgear (AIS)?

Air-Insulated Switchgear uses air as the primary dielectric medium for insulation between live parts and ground. It’s commonly found in both indoor and outdoor substations.

Pros of AIS:

Lower Initial Cost: Generally less expensive to manufacture and install.

Simple Design: Easier to maintain, inspect, and service.

Ease of Modification: Flexible and scalable for future upgrades or expansions.

Environmentally Safer: No greenhouse gases like SF₆ are used.

Cons of AIS:

Larger Footprint: Requires more physical space, making it unsuitable for compact or urban environments.

Vulnerable to Environmental Factors: Susceptible to dust, humidity, and pollution in outdoor settings.

What is Gas-Insulated Switchgear (GIS)?

Gas-Insulated Switchgear uses sulfur hexafluoride (SF₆) gas as the insulating medium. This technology allows high-voltage switchgear to be extremely compact.

Pros of GIS:

Compact Design: Ideal for space-constrained environments like cities, buildings, and offshore platforms.

High Reliability: Fully enclosed system offers excellent protection against external elements.

Minimal Maintenance: Components are sealed and protected, requiring less frequent servicing.

Longer Lifespan: Designed for durability and consistent performance.

Cons of GIS:

Higher Initial Cost: More expensive in terms of equipment and installation.

SF₆ Gas Concerns: Although SF₆ is effective, it’s a potent greenhouse gas with strict handling requirements.

Complex Repairs: Repairs and servicing can be more specialized and expensive.

AIS vs GIS: Quick Comparison Table

Feature AIS GIS Insulation Medium Air SF₆ Gas Size / Space Needed Larger Very Compact Initial Cost Lower Higher Maintenance Frequent Minimal Environmental Impact Low High (due to SF₆)Installation Complexity Simpler More complex Suitability Rural, open spaces Urban, limited-space settings

Which One Is Right for You?

The decision between AIS and GIS depends on several key factors:

1. Available Space

Choose GIS for space-limited locations like high-rise buildings, tunnels, and offshore platforms.

Choose AIS if you have ample room and want easier access for maintenance.

2. Budget Constraints

If cost is a concern, AIS offers a more economical solution.

If lifetime value and reliability are priorities, GIS might justify the investment.

3. Environmental Considerations

AIS is more eco-friendly due to the absence of SF₆.

GIS requires special handling and monitoring for SF₆, especially in regions with strict environmental regulations.

4. Application Type

AIS is well-suited for:

Power stations

Industrial zones

Rural substations

GIS is ideal for:

Urban substations

Underground systems

Critical infrastructure with limited space

Final Thoughts

Both Air-Insulated and Gas-Insulated Switchgear have their strengths and are engineered to serve specific needs. The right choice ultimately depends on your project requirements, site conditions, budget, and sustainability goals.

As a trusted supplier of high-performance switchgear, we can help you evaluate the best solution tailored to your project — ensuring safety, reliability, and efficiency.

“Violent yes, more violent.”

Astarion, allusion to M!Tav

Words: 950

Summary: A quick night hunt shortly after Astarion’s vampirism has been revealed. Mostly just a quick character bit.

CW: Animal death, mild gore, brief mentioning of sexual servitude & torture.

And the sky was made of amethyst

And all the stars were just like little fish

You should learn when to go

You should learn how to say no

- Violet, Hole

Astarion is tracking prey in the dead of night. He has caught the scent of a cervid, robust and virile, a stag. No one will think twice if they hear its dying bleat echo from the woods. They know what he is and their steadfast leader had even granted him the privilege of a bite. He can still feel the warmth of his blood on his tongue, flavored sweet and savory like a caramelized meat with a garnish of magic. Unforgettable, a vampire spawn’s first kiss. Now Astarion has a taste for the blood of thinking creatures and no beast he catches tonight will compare.

The rules have been broken. Cazador’s rules are no more.

Fuck him.

But he must feed. Astarion stalks closer to his prey, footfalls like a ghost on the forest floor. He remembers stalking the darkest alleys like this, the night when he was abducted by the ship. He was trailing a young man, all swagger and rakish charm but Astarion knew better. He knew this man slept on cold cobblestone when no duke or dame had hired his services for the night. His kind were not in short supply in the city. Astarion felt for him. He imagined that young man on his knees made to lick and suck every lady and gentleman on the guest list. Would he have preferred they trade places? Either way he would not be missed when he didn’t return from Szarr Palace.

Fuck him.

The stag pauses in a small clearing with ears erect. It knows it’s not alone. It raises its head against the moonlight showing off antlers full of sharp bony points. It won’t go down without a fight, but fights only come when a predator has managed to close the distance. This predator will not have the chance to come near it.

The pale elf readies his blades. The creature’s detected him but that’s never stopped him before. He is fast, strong, his senses heightened because he’s no mortal man of a hunter. He too is a beast. Astarion emerges from the dark in a dash towards the stag but his attack is cut terribly short. A gray wolf equally shrouded by shadows lunges at him. Not at the stag. At him. Its teeth snap at his neck.

“Shit!”

Astarion swings both daggers out just in time. They slash at the wolf’s pelt causing shallow cuts. The wolf lands on its feet and growls, it did not expect the pale elf to fight back. In the moonlight Astarion can see how small and wretched the wolf is despite its daring ferocity. It didn’t stand a chance against a full grown stag though if wolves could speak common it would tell him he didn’t stand a chance either.

“You robbed me,” he hisses at the wolf, the stag long hoofed away. “It was mine.”

The wolf offers only a snarl in return.

The vampire spawn snarls back, fangs bared and eyes seeing red. He throws himself at the beast blades first.

You took it from me.

The wolf is not afraid. It has no mate. It has no pack. It lives in a solitude that’s not its fault but it is its responsibility and it must fight or starve. It meets its silver white haired combatant head on.

You took everything.

They fall to the ground in a flurry of teeth and claws. Biting. Slashing. He and Petras tumbled a few times just like this. Leon too, much to their master’s annoyance and Godey’s elation. Violent yes, more violent, their torturer would utter, near lustful. Once, when the fighting had become too disruptive, their master chose to punish them by chaining his dear sons together and making them watch each other take turns being sadistically degraded. Did they learn their lesson then? Barely. There were no winners.

Astarion will not lose today. He will not be punished and shamed. He parries the bite, he blocks the slash. He is stronger than this sad little wolf and he is free. The pale elf stained in red plunges his dagger deep into the beast’s heart then drags the blade down to tear open its chest. The wolf yelps sharply and backs away, still able to stand on all fours with a dagger embedded in it. Not for long. The beast looks at him, seething.

Go on then.

It gnashes its teeth and foams, daring Astarion to strike the killing blow even as its body bleeds out on the forest floor. It will not die as a wounded dog. It’s the master of its own fate.

The vampire regards the wolf with disdain. He raises his second dagger and drives it into the animal’s skull, through the eye socket and into the brain. It’s not a thinking creature and yet he could see the hatred in its gaze. For what? For doing what’s in his nature? He is starved too, starved of rich abundant blood, starved of flourishing life, starved of the stag’s vigor and freedom to walk tall, starved of the chance to take from it what he couldn’t have.

Fuck him.

Astarion pulls the dagger from its chest and stabs the wolf again. The now dead wolf that feels no pain. Nothing can feel Astarion’s pain. He clenches the hilt tightly and grits his teeth. He is in control now. He is free. If the stag could only see him now. He closes his eyes and cries out, just once, before falling to his knees to feed.

Why Singapore Apartments Must Reserve Frequent Fire Hydrant Pressure Testing

Fire safety in condominium apartments in high-rise buildings is of the highest importance. While alarms, sprinklers, and extinguishers seem to hog the limelight, fire hydrants also get their turn to shine. The presence of fire hydrants is only half the solution. The crucial aspect is that they work when needed. That is where a fire hydrant pressure test in Singapore comes into the picture.

In this blog, we’ll explore the top six reasons why regular testing is a must for every residential apartment building.

1. Ensures Fire Hydrant Systems Are Emergency-Ready

In the event of a fire, time is critical. Firefighters depend on working hydrants to quickly access water. A failed hydrant with low or no pressure can delay firefighting efforts and lead to greater damage.

A routine fire hydrant pressure test in Singapore guarantees your hydrants are delivering the required pressure and flow rate. This easy but essential process guarantees your building is actually fire-ready and not just on paper.

2. Complies with SCDF Fire Code Requirements

For Singapore, the SCDF mandates regular testing and servicing of all fire protection systems. This is especially so in the case of the fire hydrant pressure test in Singapore, especially residential apartment units and multi-story buildings.

Annual pressure tests are legally required. Buildings that skip them face fines, inspection failure, or even forced closures. In good standing, not only are you legally compliant, but you are showing concern for the health and safety of residents as well.

With certified suppliers like drakofire, you can rest assured your system meets all current fire code requirements.

3. Minimizes Fire Damage and Property Loss

A well-maintained efficient system of fire hydrants will assist in reducing the extent of fire damage. Whenever the hydrants operate as required, fires are attended to earlier and hence large-scale damage spreads to a massive area of land.

That's why Singapore fire hydrant pressure testing is more than a technical requirement—it's a prevention tool that's worth its weight in gold. It allows the technicians to detect clogs, leaks, or faulty valves before these turn into life-threatening problems.

For home owners and MCSTs, it means fewer emergency repairs and greater peace of mind.

4. Detects Hidden Faults Before They Become A Hazard

Hydrants could appear wonderful on the surface but have serious issues internally. Rust, corrosion, valve deterioration, or pipe blockages below ground are often not detected—until it is too late.

Proper fire hydrant pressure testing in Singapore identifies such faults in the initial stage. Technicians measure water flow rate, water pressure, and test the mechanical components with equipment that is calibrated. Early detection enables such faults to be repaired on time and save money and lives.

This precaution is especially crucial in old apartments or buildings located near construction areas where supply of water will be interrupted.

5. Provides Confidence to Your Apartment's Fire Safety

Residents would prefer to think that their building management is serious about fire safety. By conducting a fire hydrant pressure testing in Singapore every year, you are proving that safety isn't being taken lightly.

This provides confidence to residents, guarantees improved tenant retention, and builds the reputation of your building. Other buyers or renters out there also value recorded safety routines when choosing where to move.

Maintaining a record of regular service with vendors like drakofire improves your safety-oriented building history.

6. Facilitates Insurance Claims and Risk Assessments

Insurance companies will ask for maintenance records of your fire safety systems during a fire. If your building has failed a fire hydrant pressure test in Singapore, it can create dispute over claims or reduce settlements.

But these inspection reports and servicing records ensure that you have done everything you reasonably can to keep your clients safe. This can also make insurance processes easier and even reduce future premiums.

Most risk assessors do use these reports when determining the fire readiness of your building and liability.

Frequently Asked Questions on Fire Hydrant Pressure Testing

Q: How often is pressure testing required to be done in Singapore?

The hydrants, as per SCDF requirements, must be tested annually for fire hydrant pressure in Singapore. Some of them need to be tested more than once a year depending on building design or age.

Q: Who can conduct the test?

Only trained, licensed professionals with the right gear should conduct accurate pressure tests. Choose firms who use SCDF-approved techniques.

Engaging a pro like drakofire guarantees the work is done properly and your books are in readiness for audits or inspections.

Q: What happens if low pressure?

Low pressure is a sign of a problem—possibly a clogged pipe, defective valve, or supply problem. On detection, technicians would suggest repair or replacement to have the proper amount of pressure restored.

Checklist for Fire Hydrant Pressure Test in Singapore

Before arranging your annual test, make sure that:

The service supplier is SCDF-certified

Hydrants are clear of obstructions

Historical service reports are available

Notify building residents of the test schedule (water supply might be temporarily interrupted)

Keep up-to-date pressure test results handy for audits and insurance reviews

Conclusion: Prioritize Fire Safety with Routine Hydrant Pressure Tests

With apartment dwelling, where multiple lives share one roof, sophisticated fire safety is out of the question. Fire hydrant pressure testing in Singapore isn't a matter of check-the-box compliance—it's about assuring lives, properties, and peace of mind. 

From fire code compliance to furthering safety confidence among residents, pressure testing offers obvious and strong payoffs.

Make it your annual fire safety checklist. Engage professionals like drakofire to conduct routine and thorough tests. Because in instances of fire emergencies, there is no second chance—but preparation.
