ㅤ DOMESTIC FLUFF ✶ PROMPTS . . .

SCENARIOS . . .

i  , sitting on the bathroom counter while their partner gently dries their hair with a towel after a shower, murmuring sleepy compliments

ii  , holding the other steady while they stand on tiptoes to reach a high cabinet, hands resting firmly at their waist

iii  , fixing their collar or hoodie drawstring before they head out

iv  , pressing their cold cheeks against the other’s warm ones and giggling when they flinch from the sudden coolness

v  , tugging the other’s oversized hoodie sleeve back into place when it starts slipping over their hand too far

vi  , pressing a kiss to their shoulder as they pass by in the kitchen, not even thinking about it, just muscle memory

vii  , slipping thick socks onto their partner’s cold feet and pressing a soft kiss to their ankle before pulling the blanket back over them

viii  , pulling the other’s hood up over their head before they leave the house together into the cold

ix  , one cooking, the other perched nearby on the counter, lazily kicking their feet and stealing ingredients from the cutting board

x  , tracing gentle shapes on the other’s back while they lie on top of them

xi  , noticing their partner’s hands are cold and immediately sandwiching them between their own without a word

xii  , brushing their partner’s eyebrows into place with their thumbs while lying face-to-face in bed, just…because

xiii  , sharing headphones in bed, both of them curled under the covers, softly humming along to the same song

xiv  , helping them zip up a dress or jacket from behind and pausing to press a kiss to the back of their neck

xv  , giving their partner's cheeks the gentlest little squish while brushing crumbs off their face after a snack

Good people of TESblr!

After a lot of planning and feedback from friends and community, I'm proud to present the prompt list for the 2nd non-consecutive TES Pinup Challenge!

In recognition of the Oblivion Remaster that released earlier this year, our prompt list is themed around Oblivion! Each primary and secondary prompt relates back to one of the quest lines in Oblivion, including:

Main Quest

Dark Brotherhood

Fighters Guild

Mages Guild

Thieves Guild

Knights of the Nine

Shivering Isles

Now. while the list itself is Oblivion themed, I kept it vague enough that it can be used for OCs and NPCs from any of the games! The prompts are not designed to limit participants, but to guide them in a general direction. So yes, Cicero art is possible with every prompt on this list!

For the previous challenge, 1 wrote out aesthetics for each of the prompts. Would that be something people are interested in this go around or would y'al like me to leave it at the basic word prompts? Let me know!

Auqust 1st is fast approaching. Lords and ladies. citizens of the Empire, I give vou the challenge of the summer! Creatives, ready yourselves!

(prompt list text under the cut)

August 1-3: Sigil Stone | Welkynd Stone

August 4-6: Poisoned Apples I Soul Gems

August 7-9: Madness Butterflies | Hist Tree

August 10-12: Worm Cult | Knight of the Nine

August 13-15: Blood of the Daedra | Blood of the Divines

Auqust 16: Freestyle!

August 17-19: Blade of Woe I Mage's Staff

August 20-22: Divine Blessings | Skeleton Key

August 23-25: Swordsman | Assassin

August 26-28: Madgod I Gray Fox

August 29-31: Oblivion Gate Dragonfires

I love the found family trope!

Quick tips for writing found family vibes

☽ character A* saying “ugh you’re so annoying” while giving B* their last piece of food without hesitation

☽ one of them keeps a tally of who saved whose life. it’s always mostly a joke. mostly.

☽ someone quietly patching up another’s wounds and neither of them talks about it

☽ a big fight. like, yelling, rage, “fine then LEAVE” — but they don’t leave. they sleep five feet apart. still grumpy. still ride or die.

☽ A* carrying B* on their back and B* being like “put me down I’m fine” while actively bleeding out

☽ weird inside jokes that no one else gets. like everyone around them is like “is this a code???” no. it’s just dumb.

☽ one of them has a Bad Day and the others just know. they don’t talk about it, they just pull them into a couch pile and put on a movie

☽ dumb arguments like “you cannot name the dog Knife” followed immediately by “...fine. but I get to name the next one”

☽ someone saying “I don’t need help” and getting helped anyway

☽ they threaten to kill each other like every other hour, but the second someone else threatens one of them? suddenly it’s murder o’clock.

☽ found family member B* never had a birthday party before and now they get one every year and it’s a disaster and they love it

☽ car singalongs. chaotic energy. someone takes the harmony too seriously. someone else is off-key on purpose. someone films it. blackmail for later.

☽ someone says “no one’s ever done that for me before” and the other characters all go “????” because it was a tiny thing

☽ shared chores, shared grief, shared joy, shared toothbrush (gross), shared everything.

☽ someone forgets they’re allowed to ask for help now. someone else reminds them.

☽ someone new joins the group and asks “so who’s in charge?” and everyone points at someone different. or they just laugh. because no one is. or they all are.

REBLOG TO SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL WRITERS!!<3

[unboundprompts]

Do you have any advice for a character who has a sort of sacrificial lamb complex? A savior complex but not as in a hero to save the day, but as in they don't believe they deserve to save themselves?

How to Write a Sacrificial Character

Backstory and Motivation

Traumatic Past: Explore the character’s history. Perhaps they’ve experienced abandonment, betrayal, or loss, leading them to internalize the belief that their worth is tied to suffering for others.

Family Expectations: They may come from a family that emphasizes self-sacrifice or has a history of martyrdom, teaching them that their own needs are secondary to others.

Guilt and Responsibility: The character might feel an overwhelming sense of guilt for past failures, believing that they owe it to others to endure hardship or take on burdens.

Internal Conflict

Self-Worth Issues: Illustrate their struggle with self-worth. They might dismiss compliments or feel undeserving of happiness, using phrases like “I don’t deserve this” or “I have to earn my place.”

Desire for Connection: While they may push others away, they also yearn for connection and love, creating an internal tug-of-war between wanting to be saved and believing they are unworthy of it.

Sacrificial Actions

Small Acts of Sacrifice: Show them making small sacrifices for friends or loved ones, like skipping meals or taking on additional work, which reinforces their belief that they should suffer for others’ well-being.

Dramatic Moments: Create pivotal scenes where they are put in a position to sacrifice themselves for someone else—physically or emotionally. This can highlight their motivations and lead to significant character development.

Interactions with Others

Supportive Characters: Introduce characters who try to save or help them, but the sacrificial character resists, believing their problems aren’t worth the effort. This can create tension and deepen their internal struggle.

Small Acts of Kindness: Have moments where others go out of their way to help them, reinforcing that they are worthy of care and support. This can include simple gestures, affirmations, or sacrifices made on their behalf.

Conflict with a Mentor or Friend: A mentor figure might challenge this belief, encouraging them to see their value and fight for themselves, leading to moments of growth and resistance.

Gradual Change

Moments of Clarity: Show them having fleeting moments of realization where they understand their self-worth, possibly triggered by a significant event or dialogue with another character.

Catalyst for Change: Introduce a scenario where they must choose between self-sacrifice and self-preservation, forcing them to confront their beliefs head-on.

Life-Altering Experience: Put the character in a situation that forces them to confront their fears, such as a near-death experience or a pivotal choice between saving themselves or others. This moment can act as a wake-up call to their worth.

Acts of Courage: Have them step up in a crisis, leading to a moment where they save someone else and realize their capability and value. This can help them see that they have something to offer.

Turning Point: Create a climactic moment where the character realizes they deserve to save themselves, possibly triggered by witnessing someone else sacrifice themselves for them, prompting a realization of their worth.

Final Confrontation: In the final confrontation (with a villain or personal demon), let them stand up for themselves, verbalizing their worth and challenging the beliefs that have held them back.

Symbolism and Themes

Recurring Motifs: Use symbols that represent sacrifice and self-worth, like broken mirrors (self-perception) or shadows (their past). These can help reinforce their internal struggles visually throughout the narrative.

Redemption Arc: If they ultimately find a way to save themselves or allow others to save them, showcase this as a powerful moment of growth, suggesting that self-worth and love are intertwined.

Emotional Depth

Show Vulnerability: Allow the character to express their fears and doubts, whether through dialogue, journaling, or introspection, making their internal battles relatable and poignant.

Balance with Humor: If appropriate for your story, consider moments of humor or lightness to juxtapose their darker thoughts, showing that they are more than their complex.

Prompts for AI-less Whumptober 2025

It was tough to pick from all you guys' amazing suggestions, but we managed to end up with a lovely list of prompts to work with, AND not a single repeat prompt from last year which we found quite important. Additional info + plain text versions of the prompts can be found under the cut.

FAQ and Rules

What sort of content can I create for this event?

You can create whatever you want (fic, art, edits, etc). Any fandom is allowed, as well as OC stuff. NSFW is allowed, but please tag your content accordingly! The only thing not allowed is AI-generated content.

Do I need to make 31 things to participate?

Oh heavens no! You can make as much or as little content as you like, skip days when desired, or combine prompts (so for example, write something that covers a prompt from day 1, 2, AND 3). You don't have to do the days in order either, go wild! To be considered a 'completionist', you only have to make sure that at the end of the month, you've covered 31 prompts from 31 different days, but whether you do that in 31 works or just 1 is up to you. Your works can be separate onshots or one continuous fic.

How do I interpret these prompts?

Creativity is the name of the game here! If you don't understand a prompt, feel free to send us an ask about it. However, the important thing is you're free to interpret the prompts however you want. For example, 'heat' could be literal (fever, heatstroke, burn wounds) or figurative (somebody getting heat for something). The dialogue prompts are allowed to be slightly rewritten to fit better for the character whose mouth it's coming out of. As long as you're having fun!

What are these alts about?

If none of the three prompts of a particular day are your cup of tea, you can swap them out for an alt prompt of your choice. This will count as having covered that day for completionists.

How do I tag and is there an AO3 collection?

It suffices to tag your work with #ailesswhumptober for us to see and reblog it! Please also tag nsfw, since we'll be using that tag too. Tagging the day is optional but does help the mods along.

There is an AO3 collection to add your fics to. It will be revealed and linked here closer to the start of the event.

That should be all. If you have any additional questions, check our pinned or hit us up in the ask box. Or join our discord maybe, whumping can be a great group activity!

[urfriendlywriter]

specific tropes in romance that always heal something in me that it never broke

like, forehead kisses, soft love confessions, peppering kisses all over the lover's face. promises that are kept, hands those are held with a gentle love, and hugs that engulf the heart too.

or when they rest their head on your chest, or lean on you for support.

"your tears kill me," kinda thing. or when a sunshine character finally cries and bawls their entire life's hurt out into their comfort grumpy character (plus point, if the grump feels guilty thinking if they had done something to trigger this emotional outburst)

communication. no matter hard the topic is, how big your differences are.

listening to the other person yap

admiring their facial features and seeing not just the outer structure but the person that they really are.

them getting angry on ur behalf

cradling each other in hugs basically

feeling emotional walls break when you're with that one person particularly

gentle communication. yearning to do more for your lover (!!!!)

affectionate smiles and eyes crinkling with a smile that's directed specially at you.

finding their laugh contagious.

the feeling of being accepted, despite flaws and all

silent domestic acts like being in the kitchen together, dressing up together, them drying ur hair while u sit between their legs

occasionally stolen kisses

or one deep kiss that just lights your world and fulfills your soul and heart.

sleepily nuzzling into each other!!

reaching for each other despite being asleep, with mumbled endearments and whispers of need!!!

laughter coming easily by their side, like happiness is just another day to day thing (this can also be about self love. when u truly love urself and prioritize your own rights and cherish the fact that you're you. happiness becomes beautiful even in solitude)

their fingers buried deep in yo- OOPS.?! :)

[sonic-au-august]

Neat

I love your blog! These prompts are so creative. Do you have any OT3 prompts where an established couple is gently wooing a third person who thinks they're just FWB/going to ruin the actual relationship?

Thank you! That is actually something I've recently read a few fics about, so I'll try my best.

OT3 Prompts - Wooing third person

"You want to leave already? We had hoped you would stay."

"Well, it was a one time thing, wasn't it?" "It wasn't for us. Not if you would like it to be more."

"Thanks, I guess. For like... letting me stay. In your bed. I mean, it was fun, thanks."

"We would be happy to explore this thing between us. If you want to."

"You're just saying said to be nice. No need to pity me." "What we feel for you is definitely not pity."

"I think there is some miscommunication here. We definitely need to work on that in the future."

"Our two months anniversary is coming up!" "But you've been together for much longer." "Our anniversary. For the three of us."

"You want me to stay? With you? For... for how long?" "We take whatever you give us, but forever is a good start, I think."

"We would like to take you on dates. Separately and together."

"I can't believe that you want me. Both of you. Actually wanting me, not just my body." "Well, you're good company. You and your body."

"It will take some time to figure all of this out. But I think we already established how well we work together."

"No choosing involved. I like you. You like me. He likes you. You like him. We like each other. I'm awful at math, but that looks like an easy equation to solve."

"All the best things come in three."

"We two work well together. But there is always room for improvement and we want that to be you."

"Oh, silly you. It was never just a one time thing for us."

"Would you like to join us?" "But you're on a date. I don't want to ruin that."

"You don't have to worry about our relationship. You're not breaking us up, you're completing us."

We need “I don’t like (x), I like you!” With anakin x reader im begginggg like fluff into cute smut

omg I was so happy when I read the request this morning! I have a bunch of drafts with Anakin but it's been yeeears since I wrote for him.

I didn't know how to solve the cute smut part, since I don't write it. But I think I handled it quite well :) (don't mind the title, I couldn't really come up with a good one. And I listened to Fortnight quite a lot while writing this. Here's the playlist I listened to)

It's ruining my life

Anakin Skywalker x Senator!Reader

Warnings: angst, a bit of cheesy romance, cute 'smut' and I didn't proof read it. (English is my second language sorry lol)

Word Count: 2728

A/n: " I don't like (x), I like you!" From my prompt list you can find here!

Comments, reblogs and likes are very welcomed!<3

Jealousy was what you felt whenever you saw him with her.

It was undeniable that they had something going on and even though you weren't sure what exactly it was it still influenced your mood.

The bright teeth showing smile Anakin gave Padme whenever they met made you feel like someone punched you in the face. 

Your heart tightened and the skin on your face burned. 

Jedi weren't allowed to have attachments.

You knew it.

He knew it 

and she knew it. 

But still they were giving each other that looks.

It was a sunny afternoon, the air was thick and it was inevitable to walk outside without searching for shadow.

The cars in the sky were loud as you walked underneath them towards the senate. The spotless clean windows of the buildings you passed were reflecting your silhouette. 

The chatting of people who dared to be outside was muffled to you, the clacking of your shoes on the hot grey asphalt were everything you concentrated on.

The heat made it unbearable to walk fast, but the faster you walked the faster you would be in the grand building.

You passed the hanger where ships came and left within 30 seconds. Today there was a lot going on. Representatives of every corner of the galaxy arrived and you fastened your steps to get a proper distance to them.

“Is it really necessary to walk this fast? We are nearly there and way too early.”

You jumped by the melodic voice that was the closest to you.

Risha, your counselor a few steps behind you, had a hard time to keep up with the pace.

Without turning around you raised your right arm to made a gesture that told her that she should be quiet.

“Don’t do that to me y/n. "I dare you.”

You ignored her angry undertone and continued walking, head up high. No emotion readable from your face.

Finally you reached the shadow that the senate threw. The dark marble columns were cold when you leant against it for a few seconds.

The long dress was thick and felt uncomfortably tight around your corpse.

With a grown you leaned your head back facing the high ceiling before closing your eyes.

The short relief was interrupted as you heard someone chuckle in the distance.

You would recognize it under hundreds and a shiver creeped down your back.

It was Anakin with Padme and another few members of the Jedi Council who made their way to the entrance.

They walked slowly, relaxed even. His long wavy hair moved with his steps, his hands were crossed behind his back. He looked effortlessly good and unawarely you bit your lip.

While straightening up you watched the scene, should you greet them or wait until they passed you. 

It was more of a question how much you wanted to hurt yourself today. Being near him was an undefinable joy and pain at the same time.

On one hand there was Padme, she looked stunning as usual with her goddess-like appearance. She flirted with him even though she knew she shouldn’t. Maybe it was unintentionally but you chose to be petty about this.

The other thing was the Jedi behind and next to them. Stern but peaceful faces. They had an aura about them that was kind of calming but the feeling of being watched by them could not be ignored and they definitely did.

“Good day Senator y/l/n”

It was Padme that brought me back into reality. While being deep in your thoughts they nearly reached you.

Her angelic voice hurted in your ears. It was something about her, most likely her acting all innocent and good, that made you want to throw up.

Now it was too late to escape the situation and fighting through seemed to ruin the day even more but it was your own fault.

“Good day. Hot today isn’t it?”

With a lot of effort you managed to bring your brightest smile onto your face as you made one step towards them.

“It most certainly is. You want to join us? We are on our way inside.”

Of course she offered to join them, why wouldn’t she?

“Then we leave you alone.” 

You didn’t face him when he raised his voice and your heart skipped a beat. “Senator y/l/n. It was a pleasure.”

As you dared to look over he lowered his upper body a bit to bow, locking his eyes with yours. 

Breathless you kept eye contact until he was standing straight again. Before you were able to answer him, Senator Organa joined the group.

“Senator Amidala, do you have a minute?”

The tall older man did not look too pleased and it was certain that the topic he wanted to talk about was nothing fun.

Padme gave Anakin and me an apologizing look before she hurried after the other Senator who already started walking.

“I would wait with her until the Senator returns.” 

The seven Jedi, two of them were still Padawans, nodded in response before they walked towards the hanger.

“I don’t want to hold you back. Risha is with me.” 

Almost immediately you regretted saying it. It has been at least a year since you spoke to him without others around you. 

“I feel more comfortable when I can make sure that you are safe.”

His words went down like a warm shower. 

“Thank you Anakin.”  Was it even right to call him by his first name? He was no longer a Padawan but also no Master. He was a General in the clone wars but it felt like a safe option. “So what was the business with Naboo and the Jedi?”

What a poor attempt to make small talk. Not bothered at your very forward question he shrugged briefly. “Nothing special. I was in command for a delegation of Jedi to protect Pad- Senator Amidala.”

The way he nearly called her by her first name. 

“Sounds fun. What is necessary to get a personal Jedi delegation?”

The sharpness in your voice was too much but it was too late, his face was already changing and he raised one eyebrow.

“I mean of course it is not fun. Excuse me, that was rude. I did not mean to either insult the Jedi nor the Senator”

Your in front of your upper body already folded hands clenched, the skin around your knuckles were lighter as usual. Ashamed by your own disrespect. It was not possible to look up. 

“It is not” he confirmed, “You are always free to request a delegate.”

You looked up from the floor. He had stepped closer but no hints of him being angry. 

With amusement he scanned your face, he seemed to enjoy your stuttered excuse.

Risha cleared her throat behind you but he ignored her and so did you.

“I guess then I will do that.” you gasped.

“y/n, Senator Bel Iblis is coming towards us.” 

Snapped back into reality the hot air around you and the Jedi cooled down and you made a step back turning towards the approaching Senator. Anakin didn’t so his chest was nearly touching your shoulder.

“We can have a talk about that later. I see you at the party.” 

Before you could react the Jedi distanced himself into the direction where Padme and Senator Organa showed up again.

Garm Bel Iblis, a charming man and impressive political figure started talking when he arrived at where you were standing but his words were muffled in your tunnel view where you could only see the Jedi with the dark blue eyes who had already laid all his attention onto the two other Senators.

It had finally cooled down as the sun was gone behind the tall towers of the city when you climbed into the car that was waiting at the hanger of your residence in the middle of Corruscent.

Until you were reminded earlier you had forgotten about the dinner party hosted by Mon Mothma.

Luckily it was a short journey, the dress was a standing up dress. The itchy rose golden fabric glittered in the lights coming from the inside of the rooms where already the majority of politicians and wealthy people of Coruscant gathered.

This time you were alone, Risha deserved an evening for her own and you planned not to stay that long.

Inside the high ceiled room one of the servants who had tablets with drinks in their hands offered you one and with a relief you took one. With one fast sip it was empty and you exchanged it for another full one.

Nervously you combed through the crowd, unfortunately the champagne did not cool down the burning sensation in your throat. 

Every few steps you had to raise the corners of your mouth to smile, it was exhausting.

In the following two hours several people made conversation with you and the heavy topics made you dizzy.

Instead of taking another drink the cool air should solve it. Before reaching the doors to the balcony a broad shouldered body took in all the room.

“Senator y/l/n” 

“General Skywalker.” 

“You are already leaving?” It sounded like you heard disappointment in his deep voice.

To be honest you were considering leaving. Everyone had seen you, the job was basically done and it was late.

“I think so-” 

Without hesitation he reached for the door gesturing to you to go first.

Slowly you made your way outside, the steps of him behind you were damped by his boots while your heels clicked on the concrete and it was the only thing to hear as the door shut and muffled the music and chatter from inside the building.

At the pick up and drop off area you stopped turning around before speaking.

“You don’t have to wait with me. It will take a bit until my driver is here.” 

“There is no time to wait. I will bring you home.” the words overly casually spoken echoed in your ears and your mouth stayed open slightly as a car stopped on your level.

“Express Jedi Service. Don’t say no, just get in.” he softly demanded.

The way back home was quiet, insecurity held you back from speaking up and so you focused on the traffic. 

You felt  his eyes on you from time to time so you glanced over to him. He was adorably beautiful. 

The car stopped all of the sudden and your heart sank. Staying longer at the party would have maybe been a better idea. Having conversations with Politicians was a price you would’ve happily paid if that meant that he was around.

On the platform you stretched your tired arms for a brief moment. A jawn leaving your mouth.

“Long day huh?” He grinnned as he appeared next to you. 

“It was. Thank you for the ride back. I really appreciate it.” You made a few steps towards the terrace of your apartment and he followed.

"Anytime. I made you an offer this morning.” 

After climbing the two steps up into the entrance area you stopped at the door that led directly to your bedroom, he did the same at almost the same time.

“And I will certainly not forget about it.” You replied with a small smile.

“But I guess you are quite occupied with Senator Amidala.” 

“What was that?” Instead of only thinking it, you had muttered the comment about Padme and his posture stiffened, eyes narrowing.

“Nothing. Excuse me, sometimes I tend to speak out my thoughts.” A nervous giggle slipped out of your mouth, eyeing his reaction.

“I serve the republic, so when I offer it I will make sure that I can fulfill it.” 

Your face became hot. The relaxed atmosphere shifted into a serious one.

“I get that. But you seem to be pretty happy with being basically  the bodyguard of Padme. So it’s not important, really”

“It is important because you are important.”

Silence. The snappy confession of him took you both by surprise. His gaze was like he looked right through you into your soul.

“What do you mean? You-” Your stomach twisted, “You like her.”

His eyes widened for a short moment, he stopped halfway in the step he made into your direction. His posture relaxed and made clear that you didn’t discover a big secret about him. 

“You are far off y/n.” he snickered. “I don’t like Padme. I like you. But you were always out of reach.”

“That is not true. Please Anakin.” Your voice broke down.

Whenever you imagined him confessing his love for you, you thought it would be pure happiness and relief but instead it was anxiety that took over your body.

Now that he openly reciprocated the feelings you had for him, a paralyzing pain took over your body. 

He became blurry as the tears were building up and you broke eye contact and looked at the white marble flooring.

“We cannot- You know that we cannot.” Finally the tears slowly made their way down your cheeks before dripping onto your chest.

His stern stare softened as sob left your mouth that you tried to suppress.

The smooth warm skin of his palm and thumb on your face made you flinch as he dried the tears without breaking the silence. 

Heavy breaths filled at emptied your lungs but it felt like you were choking on the heavy weight that weighed on your ribcage.

Carefully he lifted your chin, forcing you to lay your eyes onto him. The dim light highlighted his cheekbones just right. You could feel his warm breath on your skin as he leaned forward, his other hand on your lower back. All of it creates goosebumps across your body. 

“I need you y/n.” His voice wasn’t more than a whisper against your cheek, his lips brushing over it, as you tried to shake your head.

“Please y/n. I’m craving your presence.” He slowly leaned back, his face still only a few inches away, your noses nearly touched. “There is not another minute I can live without you.”

He glimpsed down to your slightly opened lips, the knot in your stomach tightened only to be released as you took all your courage to lean into a soft kiss.

Pure relief took over with every tender movement of his lips against yours.

“We shouldn’t do this.” With a sigh you pulled away a little bit, your eyes moving up to his.

“Then stop.” his voice was husky.

“I cannot.”

He chuckled, his thumb still caressing your cheek. The tears had stopped, the damp traces and swollen eyes were the only remains.

The dizziness that had clouded your head cleared up. 

A short wave of panic rolled over you as you realized your surroundings. He leaned into another kiss as you fumbled for the door knob behind you.

The clicking of the door opening was accompanied by a hum from Anakin.

Because of his grip tightening around your waist it was possible to safely walk backwards into the dark room. All the blinds were almost completely closed so you could only tell his frame when he let go of you to lead the way.

Panting, your heart was painfully hard pounding against your ribcage, you grabbed his hand to pull him closer again. The edge of the bed touched your legs so you let yourself fall back.

Both of you laughed as he nearly fell onto you, only his arms holding him up while he crawled onto the bed pushing you upwards until lowering himself not putting his whole body weight on your body.

“I-” 

"Shh. Not now”

With another deep kiss he silenced you again, he sank into your embrace. Your fingers combed through his long hair, grabbing strands and pulling on them making him shudder.

Sighs of pleasure echoing through the room.

“You are so beautiful.” His look lingered on you, taking in the attire. He rested his head against the bed frame sitting halfway up to be at the same level as you. The white blanket wrapped around you, covering your chest. Heavily exhaling, you tried to sort your ruffled hair. 

“Anakin-”

“Give me the chance to prove that this works.”

Your eyes wandered over his smooth chest, rapidly rising and lowering again, while biting your swollen underlip.

“Theres nothing I ever wanted more.” With a long sigh you moved towards him on your knees and hands. “Than you, Anakin.”

“You’re Not Even Trying to Hide It”

Loki x Reader

You weren’t a superhero. You weren’t even mildly heroic. You were an overworked, underpaid personal assistant at a Midtown publishing house whose only real power was scheduling chaos into something resembling order.

So why, in the name of Odin’s weird little raven birds, was Loki the God of Mischief obsessed with you?

Not in the general, 'I enjoy taunting mortals' kind of way. No—his chaos had a pattern.

Every time a project deadline loomed, Loki would “coincidentally” stage some dramatic, city-wide nuisance that would shut down your entire office building for hours. Once it was a full-on flash blizzard—in July. Another time, he replaced every elevator button in your building with riddles written in Old Norse. Just last week, he summoned an actual swarm of geese. Indoors.

But what finally tipped the scale was today.

Your coffee machine had exploded at 8:04 a.m.

Loki’s latest “harmless rampage” began at 8:06.

And it just so happened to take place five blocks from your office, but a full twenty miles from your family’s neighborhood.

He wasn’t threatening. Just infuriating. And a little smug. Okay—a lot smug. Which was why you found yourself storming through the quiet park near the Bifrost memorial statue where you knew, with soul-weary certainty, Loki would be. Probably feeding ducks something obnoxiously inappropriate. And sure enough—there he was.

Draped lazily over a bench like he was posing for a Renaissance painting, dressed in an utterly impractical black silk tunic that shimmered in the sun, Loki turned toward you as if he’d been waiting.

“Ah,” he purred, his voice like warm honey and bad intentions. “I was beginning to wonder if you’d ever confront me. I was starting to think you liked the attention.”

You stopped dead in your tracks. “So you do know who I am!”

He placed a hand to his heart, feigning shock. “Darling, I never said that.”

“But you just—!” You pointed accusingly. “You only cause chaos when I’m working. You’ve never ruined my weekends, or holidays, or even a sick day. One time, I took a half-day, and your ‘floating goats with knives’ nonsense ended early!”

Loki’s mouth twitched into an infuriating grin. “Perhaps the universe simply agrees that you shouldn’t be stuck in an office all day. I’m a humanitarian.”

“You turned the Hudson green and made it smell like lime Jell-O," she deadpanned.

“Delightful, wasn’t it?” he said fondly. “Your coworkers said it boosted morale.”

You pinched the bridge of your nose. “You’re—ugh—you’re literally stalking me.”

“I’m enhancing your environment,” he corrected smoothly. “Besides, I’d hardly call it stalking. You’re very predictable. It's adorable, really. You even get the same muffin every morning—blueberry, if I recall?”

You gawked. “You are stalking me!”

Loki stood with a flourish, strolling toward you with hands clasped behind his back, like a cat who’d just knocked over all the fine china and wanted praise.

“Fine,” he said. “Yes, I know who you are. I know your favorite tea, your exact work schedule, and that you secretly talk to your dying houseplants to encourage them. And I know—” he leaned down, voice a murmur near your ear, “—that you never smile at your coworkers the way you’re trying not to smile at me right now.”

Your spine went rigid. “You’re ridiculous.”

“I am,” he agreed, lips curling. “And yet here you are, meeting me in a park with no backup, no authorities, and no intention of leaving quickly.”

You opened your mouth, but no words came out.

Loki straightened, satisfaction glowing in his green eyes. “Now, if you truly want me to stop interfering with your work week,” he said, “I suppose you’ll have to make a formal request.”

You narrowed your eyes. “Are you seriously making me ask you out just to get you to stop messing with my office building?”

“Semantics,” Loki said. “But yes.”

You stared. He smiled. “…Fine,” you said finally. “Dinner. But if you pull any tricks, I’m finding out how to tell Thor you tried to flirt with my ceiling fan.”

Loki laughed, stepping back with a wink. “I would never.” (He would.)

But, surprisingly, that week? No geese. No blizzards. No Old Norse elevator buttons.

And for the first time in months, your office stayed blissfully, peacefully boring. It was, frankly, kind of disappointing.

…Which is why, two days later, you texted him first.

Just in case.
