#Spark Plug Strategies

─ .🌷✧˚Everyone’s Extra, But You’re My Dollface

˚🎀༘⋆ || katsuki bakugo x reader, pure fluff

Bakugo’s world was full of noise—explosions, egos, too-loud classmates, and quirks that screamed for attention. Everyone was extra, in his words.

Too flashy. Too talkative. Too soft. Too annoying.

So he labeled them.

Names like badges of mockery. Nicknames that clung to them like soot after one of his blasts.

“Shitty Hair,” for Kirishima.

“Half-and-Half Bastard,” for Todoroki.

“Deku,” for Midoriya—his oldest rival.

“Pinky,” “Electric Dumbass,” “Four-Eyes,” and so on.

They were insults, sure—but they stuck. Like gravel in scraped knees. That was just Bakugo.

And yet… for you?

You weren’t “extra.”

You were the quiet in his chaos.

The still moment between his heartbeats.

And so, you got something no one else did.

“Dollface.”

The first time he called you that? It slipped out during a mission debrief. Everyone was talking over each other—Mina rehashing her hero pose, Kaminari laughing at nothing, Iida trying to restore order. Bakugo sat in the corner, arms crossed, brow twitching.

And you—calm, thoughtful you—were bandaging a scrape on his arm without saying a word. Like it was nothing. Like touching his scars didn’t scare you.

He didn’t thank you. Of course not.

But when you finished, he muttered under his breath, just loud enough for you to hear:

“…Thanks, Dollface.”

You blinked.

“What did you call me?”

His ears turned red, but his glare dared you to challenge it. “Got a problem?”

“…No,” you whispered, cheeks warm. “Just... didn’t expect that.”

“Tch. Don’t get used to it.”

Spoiler: you did. He just didn’t stop.

One morning in class, you sat quietly, tracing the rim of your coffee mug while Aizawa droned on about combat strategy. Everyone else, naturally, couldn’t shut up.

Kirishima was cracking jokes, Denki was trying to get Todoroki to laugh, and Midoriya was mid-infodump when Bakugo’s pen snapped in half.

“Goddamn it—every single one of you is extra!”

The room went still.

“You—Shitty Hair. You—Spark Plug Idiot. Deku—don’t even get me started.”

He swung his eyes to you.

Then, without warning, his entire tone shifted.

“You good, Dollface? You need a new pen or what?”

The silence was deafening.

Everyone’s heads slowly turned to you like you were some kind of endangered species.

You blinked.

“I’m… I’m fine. Thanks.”

He grunted and looked away. Like it was nothing. Like he hadn’t just sucker-punched the entire room with affection.

You cornered him later that day behind the gym, heartbeat jumping.

“Bakugo.”

“What?” he barked. “You gonna yell at me for calling you somethin’ now? Don’t start—”

“I’m not mad. I just… why ‘Dollface’?”

His eyes narrowed—not angry, just calculating. Then, like a fuse lighting slowly, he exhaled.

“Because you’re not like them.”

You frowned. “Like who?”

He looked away, jaw tight.

“Everyone. All those extras run their mouths, act like they know everything. But you…” He met your eyes, and this time, his voice dropped. Quiet. Honest.

“You’re calm. You don’t take up space like they do. You’re sharp. Real. Strong, even when you’re soft. Like a porcelain bomb that knows how to hold back.”

You didn’t say anything, unsure how to breathe with your heart pounding that hard.

He ran a hand through his hair, grumbling. “It’s not an insult. I call you that ‘cause you’re... somethin’ else. Got a face like a doll and a heart like a grenade.”

“…So I’m not extra?”

Bakugo snorted.

“Yup, you're extra, extra mine. ”

Troubleshoot My Heart

Trope: IT Helpdesk Chaos Pairing: Grumpy Genius IT Guy!Yoongi × Bored, Unhinged Newbie!Reader Warnings: Explicit 18+ content, office romance, age gap (~10 years), smut, forbidden romance, workplace chaos Word Count: ~5k Rating: 18+ | Explicit | Minors DNI Some viruses come from shady websites. Others wear glasses and a smirk.

The office is a prison of beige and buzzwords. At 22, you’re a fresh graduate, drowning in Excel spreadsheets and shared calendars that multiply like roaches. Your cubicle is a purgatory of motivational posters and recycled air, and the 4 PM quarterly update call is sucking the last dregs of your soul. The presenter’s voice drones on about “synergy” and “KPIs,” and you’re half-asleep, chin propped on your hand, when boredom—your old, reckless friend—whispers in your ear.

Just one click. For the thrill.

You know better. You do. But the corporate firewall is a challenge, and you’re restless. So you type a shady URL (NSFW) into the browser, something you overheard in a freshers' group chat about “exclusive content.” It’s blocked, of course—big red warning, “Access Denied.” But not before something slips through. Your laptop stutters, screen flickering, then freezes entirely. A pop-up screams: “CRITICAL ERROR: SYSTEM COMPROMISED.”

Panic claws at your chest. You mash keys, but nothing works. The IT helpdesk form is your only salvation, a digital confessional for your sins. You type, hands shaking: “System acting weird. Might’ve clicked something. Send help (preferably cute help).” You hit submit and pray.

Ten minutes later, he arrives.

Min Yoongi, head of IT support, is a walking paradox: hoodie under a blazer, dark hair falling into sharper eyes, and a voice so low it should be illegal. At 32, he’s a legend in the office—not for charm, but for fixing disasters with minimal words and maximum disdain. He doesn’t look at you as he drops into your chair, his fingers flying over your keyboard.

“Did you accidentally download six trojans,” he says, not asking, “or was that part of your productivity strategy?”

You lean against the cubicle wall, feigning innocence. “I don’t know what you’re talking about. I just… clicked a link.”

He glances at you, one brow raised, and you feel it—a spark, like static from a bad outlet. His glasses slide down his nose as he mutters, “Idiots who think VPNs make them invincible.” But he’s already working, pulling up diagnostics, his hands moving with a precision that makes your throat dry.

The screen stabilizes. He stands, brushing past you, close enough that you catch the faint scent of coffee and cedar. “Don’t do it again,” he says, and he’s gone.

But you’re already hooked.

By Wednesday, the office is a hamster wheel of monotony, and Yoongi’s dry wit is your only lifeline. You decide to make a game of it: How far can I push the grumpy IT guy before he cracks? It’s not just boredom driving you—it’s the way his eyes linger a fraction too long, the way his voice dips when he’s annoyed. You want to unravel him.

Your first move is small but deliberate. You submit a ticket: “Mouse not working. Urgent.” He shows up, slouching into your cubicle, glasses catching the fluorescent light. “Urgent,” he repeats, voice flat as he picks up the mouse. It’s unplugged. His eyes flick to you, narrowing. “Really?”

You bat your lashes, all innocence. “It just… stopped. Maybe it’s shy?”

He snorts, plugging it back in with a flick of his wrist. “Shy. Right. Next time, check the cable before you waste my time.” But he’s lingering, leaning closer as he tests the mouse, his arm brushing yours. You catch a hint of his cologne—cedar, sharp—and your pulse spikes.

“Waste your time?” you say, tilting your head. “I thought you liked visiting me.”

His fingers pause on the mouse. He looks at you, and there’s a glint in his eyes—half irritation, half something else. “You’re gonna be trouble,” he mutters, but he doesn’t move away.

By Thursday, you’re bolder. You spill a splash of coffee on your desk—nowhere near your laptop, but close enough to justify a ticket: “Coffee incident. Laptop at risk. Save me.” Yoongi arrives, tie loose, sleeves rolled up, exposing forearms that make your brain short-circuit. He scans the desk, sees the tiny puddle, and sighs, long and suffering. “This is what you call a crisis?”

You lean forward, letting your blouse gape just enough to draw his eye. “Could’ve been. Better safe than sorry, right?”

He grabs a tissue, wiping the desk with exaggerated care, his movements slow, deliberate. “You know,” he says, voice low, “if you keep crying wolf, one day I might not come.”

You pout, twirling a strand of hair. “Oh, Yoongi, you’d miss me too much.”

He freezes, just for a second, then tosses the tissue in the trash. “Keep dreaming, princess.” But his voice is rougher, and when he leans over to check your laptop, his shoulder brushes yours, lingering a beat too long.

Friday, you go for broke. Ticket: “Desktop icons too aggressive. Hostile work environment.” He shows up, arms crossed, leaning against your cubicle like he’s bracing for a storm. “Aggressive icons,” he deadpans. “Care to explain?”

You point at the screen, where your perfectly normal icons sit innocently. “They’re glaring at me. It’s intimidating.”

He stares at you, then at the screen, then back at you. “You’re unbelievable.” He slides into your chair, closer than necessary, his knee brushing your thigh as he pretends to inspect the screen. “Maybe they’re just mad you keep breaking shit.”

You gasp, mock-offended. “Language, Min Yoongi. What would HR say?”

He smirks, typing something pointless. “HR would say you’re a menace who needs constant supervision.” His fingers brush yours as he slides the laptop back, and the contact sends a jolt through you. “Or maybe just a leash.”

Your breath catches, but you recover fast, leaning in until your lips are inches from his ear. “Only if you’re the one holding it.”

He stiffens, glasses slipping down his nose. For a moment, you think you’ve gone too far, but then he updates your ticket with a note:

Try restarting. If that doesn’t work, I’m available. For troubleshooting. Or kissing. Whichever works first.

You choke on your smoothie, heart hammering. He’s already walking away, but you catch the smirk on his lips. Game on.

The flirting is a full-blown war now. You’re addicted to the way Yoongi’s jaw tightens when you push his buttons, the way his eyes darken when you get too close. You call him for every minor issue, each ticket a thinly veiled excuse to see him. He knows it, and he’s playing along, showing up in person even when he could resolve things remotely or send someone else. His sarcasm is sharper, but so is the heat in his gaze.

Monday morning, you’re chewing a pen cap, voice deliberately breathy as you call him. “Yoongi, I think I clicked something bad again…” You’re perched on your desk, skirt riding up just enough to be dangerous.

He arrives, tie loose, hair slightly mussed, looking like he’s already had three coffees and zero patience. He leans against your cubicle, arms crossed, glasses glinting. “Clicked something bad,” he repeats, voice dripping with skepticism. “What was it this time? Another ‘productivity’ site?”

You twirl the pen, letting it slip between your lips before answering. “Maybe. Or maybe I just wanted your expertise.”

He steps closer, crowding your space, his voice dropping to a low growl. “My expertise? Or my attention?”

Your pulse spikes, but you hold his gaze, smirking. “Can’t it be both?”

He chuckles, dark and low, and slides into your chair, his knee brushing your thigh as he checks your laptop. “You’re gonna get me in trouble,” he mutters, but his fingers linger on the keyboard, brushing yours. “Keep this up, and I’ll start charging you for house calls.”

You lean in, close enough to smell his cologne. “What’s the price? Coffee? Dinner? Or… something else?”

His eyes flick to yours, and for a moment, you think he might kiss you right there, cubicle walls be damned. But he pulls back, adjusting his glasses. “You couldn’t afford me, princess.”

Tuesday, you up the ante. You wear a tighter blouse, top button undone, and submit a ticket: “Laptop lagging. Need urgent assistance.” He shows up, visibly fighting to keep his eyes on the screen. “Lagging,” he says, voice flat. “Or are you just fishing for compliments in that shirt?”

You gasp, mock-scandalized. “Min Yoongi, are you objectifying me?”

He leans closer, voice a dangerous whisper. “If I was, you’d know.” His fingers brush your wrist as he types, and you swear the air crackles. “Fixed. Try not to break it again by lunch.”

Wednesday, it’s a fake email issue. He’s at your desk in minutes, looking like he’s one ticket away from throttling you. “Your email’s fine,” he says, not even touching the keyboard. “What’s the real problem?”

You lean back, crossing your arms, pushing your chest out slightly. “Maybe I just missed you.”

He stares, jaw tight, then mutters, “You’re gonna be the death of me.” But he doesn’t leave. He lingers, pretending to check settings, his hand brushing yours again. “Stop looking at me like that,” he says, voice low.

“Like what?” you ask, all innocence, batting your lashes.

“Like you’re begging for something you can’t handle.”

Your breath hitches, but you recover, whispering, “Try me.”

He doesn’t answer, but his eyes burn, and you know you’re winning.

Then comes the fire drill, means everyone needs to evacuate building for around 30-40 minutes.

It’s the third one this month, alarms blaring, everyone groaning. You’re halfway to the exit when Yoongi grabs your arm, pulling you toward the server room. “Need to check something,” he says, voice clipped, but his grip is firm, possessive. You follow, heart racing, the chaos of the drill fading behind you.

The server room is a claustrophobic box of humming machinery, blinking lights, and stifling heat. The door clicks shut, auto-locking. It’s tiny, fans roaring, air heavy with static. You’re both sweating, your blouse clinging to your skin, his tie loosened, sleeves rolled up. He leans against a rack, glasses fogging slightly, and growls, “You really don’t care about fire safety, huh? Following me in here like it’s nothing.”

You step closer, bold, reckless. “Maybe I just like tight spaces. Especially with you.”

His eyes darken, pupils blown. “You’re trouble,” he says, voice rough. “And you know it.”

You tilt your head, smirking. “And you’re not? Dragging me in here, all alone, no witnesses?”

He steps forward, closing the gap, his breath hot against your cheek. “Keep talking like that, and I’ll give you something to complain about besides your laptop.”

Your stomach flips, but you hold your ground, whispering, “Promise?”

He doesn’t answer. He doesn’t need to.

The air in the server room is thick, charged. You’re inches apart, and you can’t resist pushing him. “You think I don’t know what you’ve been doing?” you tease, voice low. “Fixing my laptop so fast, showing up every time I call, even when you can do it remotely or can send someone else from your team. You’re obsessed.”

He snaps. “You think I’m obsessed?” His voice is rough, dangerous. “You’ve been downloading viruses, calling me for fake crashes, bending over your desk like it’s part of your job description.”

Your breath catches. He steps forward, crowding you against the server rack. The metal is warm against your back, cables brushing your arm. His hand grazes your waist, then slides under your skirt, fingers skimming the edge of your panties. “You want chaos?” he murmurs, lips brushing your ear. “I’ll give you chaos.”

You gasp as his fingers slip beneath the fabric, finding you already wet. He groans, low and feral, and you’re done for. His mouth crashes against yours, all heat and desperation, tasting of coffee and something darker—need. You tug at his belt, fumbling, and he chuckles against your lips, dark and teasing. “Impatient.”

“Shut up,” you hiss, yanking his shirt free. His hands are everywhere—under your skirt, gripping your thighs, lifting you slightly so you’re perched on the edge of a rack.

The machinery hums, vibrating through you, amplifying every touch. He pushes your panties aside, fingers sliding inside you, slow and deliberate, curling just right. You moan, loud, and his free hand clamps over your mouth.

“Quiet,” he growls, but his eyes are wild, pupils blown. “Unless you want the whole office to know you’re getting fucked in here.”

You bite his palm, and he curses, thrusting his fingers deeper. Your nails dig into his shoulders, legs wrapping around his waist. He’s hard against you, straining through his slacks, and you grind against him, desperate for more. He undoes his belt one-handed, freeing himself, and you nearly whimper at the sight—thick, flushed, and all for you.

He doesn’t wait. He pushes inside you, slow at first, letting you feel every inch. The stretch is exquisite, and you arch against the rack, cables tangling in your hair. He thrusts harder, deeper, the rhythm relentless, each movement sending sparks through your core. The fans drown out your gasps, but not the slick, obscene sounds of him moving inside you.

“Fuck, you’re tight,” he mutters, voice wrecked. His hands grip your hips, bruising, pulling you onto him with every thrust. You’re close, so close, and he knows it, angling just right to hit that spot that makes you see stars. Your orgasm hits like a wave, crashing through you, and you clench around him, trembling.

He’s not far behind. His thrusts grow erratic, and he buries his face in your neck, groaning your name as he spills inside you. You’re both panting, sweat-slicked, clinging to each other in the humming dark.

Then you shift, still dazed, and your elbow bumps the emergency restart button on the rack.

A low hum dies. Lights flicker. The servers reboot with a whine.

You freeze. Yoongi’s eyes widen. “Did you just—”

“Oops,” you whisper.

Monday morning is chaos. Emails flood in:

“Why did the servers reboot?” “We lost six hours of sales data.” “Also, someone left a bra in the server room.”

Yoongi’s inbox is a warzone, but he’s calm, typing responses with that infuriating deadpan.

You’re avoiding IT helpdesk department now, because the office is buzzing. Whispers follow you—your tickets get resolved suspiciously fast, and someone saw you leaving the helpdesk department, blouse misbuttoned.

It’s early afternoon, and you’ve locked yourself out of your laptop again—right before a client presentation, a bad habit of not remembering the password. You could’ve go to helpdesk, but you’re avoiding the department after the server room fiasco, terrified someone saw you. Instead, you text Yoongi directly on his personal contact:

“Locked out my laptop. Conference room. Help. Have client presentation in 1 hour.”

He storms in, tie askew, glasses slipping, looking like he’s ready to strangle you. “You forgot your password?” he snaps, slamming his admin laptop onto the conference table. “Again?”

You’re leaning against the table, blouse tight, top two buttons undone, revealing a hint of lace. “No,” you say, voice dripping with mischief. “I just wanted to see your face.”

His jaw clenches, but his eyes betray him, flicking to your chest before he catches himself. “You’re impossible,” he mutters, typing override commands with aggressive precision. You slide closer, letting your hip brush his, and murmur, “You know, no one uses this room until after 2.”

He freezes, fingers hovering over the keyboard. “You’re playing a dangerous game,” he says, voice low, but he doesn’t move away. You lean in, lips grazing his ear. “Good thing I like danger.”

That’s his breaking point. He spins, grabbing your waist, and pulls you under the table, out of sight of the glass walls. The projector hums to life, casting the company logo across the room, but you’re already on your knees, hands working his belt.

His breath hitches as you free him, stroking slowly, teasing the tip with your thumb. He’s thick, hard, and you can’t resist tasting him, tongue swirling around the head before taking him deep.

“Fuck,” he groans, voice barely a whisper, his hand fisting your hair. You move slowly at first, lips sliding along his length, savoring the way he twitches against your tongue. The projector light dances across your face, the hum masking your soft moans.

His hips jerk, pushing deeper, and you hollow your cheeks, taking him to the back of your throat. His grip tightens, guiding you, and you can feel him unraveling, his breaths ragged.

He pulls you up, voice wrecked. “Get up here.” He spins you, bending you over the table, your skirt hiked up, panties shoved aside. His fingers find you soaked, and he groans, teasing your entrance before sliding two fingers inside, curling them just right. You gasp, gripping the table’s edge, the wood cool against your heated skin. “Yoongi,” you whimper, and he chuckles, dark and low.

“You wanted my attention,” he murmurs, withdrawing his fingers to replace them with his cock. He pushes in slowly, letting you feel every inch, the stretch making your thighs tremble. He grips your hips, thrusting hard, the table creaking with every movement.

The projector flickers, casting distorted light across your back as he fucks you, relentless, each thrust hitting that spot that makes you see stars. His hand slides up, fingers tangling in your hair, pulling your head back so he can whisper in your ear. “You feel so fucking good.”

You’re close, the pressure building, and he knows it, angling his hips to hit deeper. Your orgasm crashes through you, and you clench around him, gasping his name. He follows, pulling out just in time to spill across your thighs, his breaths heavy against your neck.

He zips up, adjusting his glasses. “Next time you lock yourself out,” he pants, “I’m locking you in instead.”

You’ve been avoiding the IT department like the plague, terrified of the rumors swirling after the server room incident. But your laptop’s battery is genuinely overheating now, the fan screaming like it’s possessed.

You try to fix it yourself, but every troubleshooting guide fails, and you’re forced to face the inevitable: you need Yoongi. Emailing him feels too risky—too many eyes on the network—so you swallow your fear and head to IT, clutching your laptop like a shield.

The department is quiet, most of the team out for lunch. Yoongi’s at his desk, headphones on, typing furiously. You hesitate, heart pounding, but you need this fixed before your afternoon meeting. You clear your throat, and he looks up, eyebrows raising behind his glasses. “You,” he says, pulling off his headphones. “Thought you were avoiding me.”

You blush, setting the laptop down. “Battery’s overheating. It’s real this time.”

He smirks, leaning back in his swivel chair. “Real, huh? Not just another excuse to get me alone?”

You roll your eyes, but your pulse races. “Don’t flatter yourself.”

He stands, locking the office door with a casual flick of his wrist. “Break hours,” he says, pointing to a handwritten sign taped to the door: “IT Lunch Break: 12-1 PM.”

“Can’t have anyone walking in on us troubleshooting.”

Your stomach flips, but you play it cool, perching on the edge of his desk. “So, you gonna fix it or just stare at me?”

He steps closer, crowding your space, his voice dropping. “You mean you’re overheating.” His fingers brush your knee, and you shiver, skirt riding up as you shift. He’s right—you’re burning up, even more than your laptop.

You grab his tie, pulling him closer, and kiss him hard. He groans, hands sliding to your waist, lifting you onto his lap as he sits back in the chair. The blinds are half-open, light chatter drifting from the hall, but the locked door gives you courage. Your skirt hikes up, and his hands find your thighs, squeezing as you grind against him, feeling him harden beneath you.

“Fuck, you’re gonna kill me,” he mutters, lips trailing down your neck. You fumble with his belt, freeing him, and he’s already tugging your panties aside. His fingers tease you, circling your clit before sliding inside, slow and deliberate. You gasp, rocking against his hand, and he smirks, voice low. “Keep making those sounds, and the whole department’s gonna need help.”

You bite your lip, trying to stay quiet as you sink onto him, the stretch making your head spin. He’s thick, filling you completely, and you rock your hips, slow at first, savoring the way he grips your waist.

He’s on a call now, headset on, voice infuriatingly calm as he says, “Yeah… just another quick fix. Shouldn’t take long.” You clench around him, and he stifles a groan, pretending to adjust his headset.

You lean forward, whispering in his ear, “Liar.” He thrusts up hard, making you gasp, and you ride him faster, the chair creaking under you. His fingers dig into your hips, guiding you, and you’re both teetering on the edge. The blinds cast slatted shadows across your bodies, the risk of being caught only heightening the thrill.

You come first, trembling, biting his shoulder to muffle your moan, and he follows, thrusting deep, spilling inside you as he mutters, “Fixed,” into the mic.

You collapse against him, panting, and he kisses your temple, voice soft. “You’re gonna get us both fired.”

The rumors hit critical mass by Wednesday. Your tickets are resolved before anyone else’s, and the whispers are deafening. Someone saw you adjusting your skirt outside helpdesk department again.

HR calls you both in, and you’re sweating, heart pounding as you sit across from the stern-faced manager. Your job—your first real job, the start of your career—feels like it’s slipping through your fingers. You’re 22, barely out of college, and the thought of being fired for “unprofessional conduct” makes your stomach churn.

The manager peers over her glasses. “Is there a reason her tickets are prioritized, Yoongi?”

He leans back, glasses glinting, voice calm as ever. “She breaks things a lot. I’m just thorough.”

You nod, throat tight, barely breathing. The manager’s eyes flick to you, and you force a smile, but your hands are trembling in your lap. “We’ve noticed… irregularities,” she says.

Your heart stops. Yoongi’s knee brushes yours under the table, a small anchor, but it’s not enough. You’re spiraling, imagining unemployment, blacklisted from every corporate job, your career dead before it started.

After the meeting, you’re a wreck, avoiding Yoongi’s gaze as you hurry to your cubicle. He catches up to you in the hall, pulling you into an empty stairwell. His hands are on your shoulders, firm but gentle, and his voice is low, urgent. “Hey. Look at me.”

You do, eyes stinging. “I can’t lose this job, Yoongi. I just started. I—”

“You’re not losing anything,” he says, voice steady. “I’ve been through this—corporate bullshit, getting blamed for things that aren’t your fault. I won’t let that happen to you.” His thumbs brush your arms, grounding you. “We need to cool it at the office. No more server rooms, no more conference tables. Not because I want to stop, but because I won’t let you go through what I did. Your career’s just starting. I’m not gonna fuck that up for you.”

You nod, swallowing hard. “But… what about us?”

He softens, a rare smile tugging at his lips. “My place. After hours. I do repairs there too.” He leans closer, voice dropping to a whisper. “And I’m not letting you go, princess. Not now, not ever.”

It’s Friday night, and you’re at Yoongi’s apartment, a small, cozy space with exposed brick and mismatched furniture, a stark contrast to the sterile office. He’s cooking—actual cooking, not just microwaving ramen.

The kitchen smells of garlic and sesame oil, and he’s stirring a pan of japchae, sleeves rolled up, glasses fogging from the steam. You’re perched on the counter, swinging your legs, watching him move with quiet precision.

“Stop staring,” he mutters, not looking up. “You’re distracting me.”

You grin, stealing a noodle from the pan. “Can’t help it. You’re cute when you’re domestic.”

He snorts, but his cheeks pink slightly, and you feel a warmth that has nothing to do with the stove. He plates the food, handing you a bowl, and insists on feeding you the first bite, chopsticks hovering at your lips.

“Open,” he says, voice soft, and you do, letting the flavors burst on your tongue. His eyes are on you, warm, unguarded, and you realize this is a side of him the office never sees.

You eat in comfortable silence, sitting cross-legged on his couch, a soft lo-fi playlist humming in the background. When the dishes are cleared, he pulls you into his lap, arms wrapping around you, his chin resting on your shoulder. It’s quiet, intimate, and you feel the weight of something unspoken.

“Yoongi,” you say, tracing circles on his wrist. “Why are you so… cold at work? I know it’s not the real you.”

He tenses, then sighs, his breath warm against your neck. “Ten years ago, I was a cybersecurity hotshot at a big tech firm. Thought I was untouchable. Then a system crashed—major project, millions lost. Wasn’t my fault, but they needed a scapegoat."

" I got dragged through the mud, humiliated, fired. Landed here to lay low, avoid the corporate bullshit. I hate the politics, the small talk, the way people treat you like a machine. So I shut down. Keep my distance. It’s easier.”

You turn, cupping his face, thumbs brushing his cheeks. “But you’re not distant with me.”

He looks at you, eyes soft, vulnerable. “You’re different. You’re reckless, restless, like I was back then. You don’t treat me like a tool—you tease, you challenge, you see me. First time in years I didn’t feel like I was rusting away.” His voice cracks slightly, and he pulls you closer, forehead against yours. “You bring color to my life, princess. I didn’t know I needed that until you.”

Your heart aches, and you kiss him, slow and sweet, tasting salt and warmth. “I’m not going anywhere,” you whisper, and he smiles, real and unguarded, pulling you against his chest.

“You better not,” he murmurs, kissing your temple. “Because I’m not letting you go anywhere.”

A/n: Well recently I raised a ticket regarding my email's not working and somehow this idea popped in my mind. But why my office IT Helpdesk doesn't have Min Yoongi? 😩

[sassy-starlight]

God, the media would have a field day.

Charles can already picture it — grainy zoomed-in photos from some nosy tabloid bastard, Lando wrapped around him like a second skin, collar visible, hickeys blooming like sinful little flowers up his neck. Headlines screaming in every direction:

“FERRARI’S FINEST CAUGHT IN COMPROMISING POSITION.”

“ALPHA LECLERC AND OMEGA NORRIS SPARK OMEGAVERSE OUTRAGE.”

“F1’S SCANDAL COUPLE: INSIDE THE PIT LANE ROMANCE ROCKING MARANELLO.”

He almost laughs, right there between Lando’s legs, but swallows it down in favor of another long, indulgent lick over his lover’s slick folds. The image is too damn good, though — Lando, dripping in red racewear, scent glands flushed, post-qualifying glow on his cheeks, and Charles with his gloves still on, fingers curling possessively around his waist as they disappear somewhere they really shouldn’t be mid-paddock.

“God,” Charles mutters against his cunt, voice muffled and soaked in reverence. “Can you imagine it, amour? Us, right there in the Ferrari motorhome. You bent over my locker, still wearing your suit, and me—so desperate I don’t even bother unzipping. Just push in and pray no one hears.”

Lando whines, legs shaking around Charles’s shoulders. “They’d lose their minds. PR would combust.”

Charles chuckles darkly. “PR can suck my cock.”

“You’re such a menace.”

“And you love it.”

He slips his fingers back inside with practiced ease, and Lando gasps, his whole body jolting like he’s been plugged into a live circuit. The way he clenches around Charles’s fingers, desperate and soaked and wrung out from his last orgasm, sends a fresh wave of possessive satisfaction through Charles’s veins. This is his. His omega. His teammate. His biggest threat on track and his favorite toy in bed.

“Know what I’d say if they caught us?” Charles asks, licking lazily at Lando’s inner thigh, teeth grazing soft skin.

Lando, barely coherent, blinks blearily down at him. “What?”

“I’d say—” Charles presses a kiss to Lando’s hip, smug and shameless. “—'At least now you know why I keep finishing ahead of him.’”

“Fuck you!” Lando half-laughs, half-sobs, clearly scandalized and aroused in equal measure.

Charles grins, wicked and unrepentant. “Already are, baby.”

And then he flips them, effortlessly shifting Lando until he’s on his front, ass up, wrists still tied and cheek pressed into the sheets. Lando groans, hips arching instinctively, back flexing in the most mouth-watering way.

“Look at you,” Charles murmurs, kneeling behind him. “Ferrari’s first omega driver. Such a badass on track. And here you are, so fucking pretty and pliant. Ready for me.”

He lines himself up and pushes in slowly, savoring the way Lando stretches around him. The omega mewls, head tossed back, eyes fluttering as Charles bottoms out.

And then, soft, reverent, right in Lando’s ear: “My omega.”

The knot will come later. The scent-marking, the lazy aftercare where Charles lets Lando babble about strategy and tires while he pets his hair. But right now? Right now is just for them.

Let the press talk. Let the fans gossip.

Because Charles Leclerc and Lando Norris are more than just teammates.

They’re a goddamn force of nature.

And Ferrari’s never seen anything like them.

A Father's Resolve - Ch 7

Ingo returns after a decade - with two extra cars in tow. Years later, his kids are swallowed up by time in the same way he was. Will he be able to find them? Will they be able to make it out alive?

Word Count: ~2300

"Come on, Rei, we should battle! See what our new teams can do!" Akari begged. 

"Isn't there a request from someone in the Diamond Clan that Laventon mentioned?" Rei asked. 

"Yeah but this won't take long! Promise!" 

"Fine," he relented, "but I'm bringing Spark Plug with me. I know you'll just spam some new water move on Campfire." 

"Telling me your losing strategy already?" his sister teased as he gathered up the pokeballs. 

They trekked to the pastures to make a better team for themselves as they considered what they would bring. It was so odd to see their captured, but not in use, pokemon playing together in the fields. The townsfolk avoided this area. 

Then they set off for the dojo that Laventon had pointed out the night before. It was caged in by a half-wall, with a dirt patch set up like a fighting arena. It was small, but it would definitely work. 

"Let's do this," Rei breathed. They hadn't properly battled in weeks. 

They both sent out their starter first, Rei with Campfire and Akari with Riptide. Unfortunately, Rei knew exactly where this was going. “Campfire, return!” He threw out Spark Plug, the little Shinx meowing in challenge. Akari smirked. As Rei fired off a Thunder Shock, she sent out Bonnie the Ponyta, who took it like a champ. Rei gritted his teeth. 

“Bonnie, Stomp!” Akari called. Rei flicked his wrist. The horse stomped onto thin air as Spark Plug dodged with blinding speed, setting off in a Quick Attack, which hit the horse square in the chest, sending it skidding back a few paces. It still stood its ground. 

“Spark Plug, one more Quick Attack!” The cat responded with a speedy headbutt that the horse did not have time to respond to. It fell to its knees with a mournful whinny as Akari recalled it, sending out Riptide once again. She gritted her teeth. 

“Tackle! Now!” Oshawott screwed its eyes in a glare and ran at Spark Plug, throwing its entire body into its opponent. It was a critical hit. Spark Plug fell quickly. Rei hurriedly sent out a different pokemon as Akari smirked- and then her face fell. It was not Campfire that Rei had sent out. 

An Eevee stood on the field, it's body in a battle stance. He was hoping for the best with this. He watched as Akari scanned the field. “Swift!” Five white stars shot from Eevee, locking onto Riptide and following it even as it tried to run. The water pokemon tripped as it took the brunt of the attack, but it still stood back up. It managed to shoot off an Aqua Jet and took out the fragile Eevee. Rei recalled it and sent out his final pokemon. He needed to end this. “Quick Attack!”

“Aqua Jet!” 

Both twins watched with bated breath as the wounded Oshawott and the disadvantaged fire type both carried out their commands, both colliding a with each other and bouncing back, residual ocean spray and dust kicking up and blocking out any vision and making Rei blink away debris until-

Only one pokemon still stood. Cyndaquil, its body coated with mud as it's back flames flickered for a moment before glowing brightly once more in triumph. Riptide was laying in the mud on its back, unconscious. 

Rei whooped and ran over to his little pokemon, lifting it up by the armpits. “You did amazingly, Campfire! I'm so proud of you!” The fire-type smiled at him and whistled in excitement as the swung it around in the air. He set the baby back down as his sister was approaching her pokemon, bringing the Oshawott back to consciousness. “You did really well, too, Riptide.”

“You sure did, bud. Get some rest now.” It disappeared into the pokeball in a flash of light. Akari turned to Campfire and patted him on the head. “And good job to you! It's impressive that you could bring down a pokemon of a type that has an advantage over you!” It hummed at her as Rei recalled it and helped her to her feet, brushing off her pants. 

"Oh, so you're the rookies everyone's been talking about!" Rei jumped at the booming voice and turned, his smug expression wiped clear off his face. Before him stood a tall, muscular woman. She was broad, with a red tunic emblazoned with the Galaxy Team logo. Her fiery red hair was pulled up into a flowing curly mane on top of her head. "Name's Zisu. You two have some fight in you. I wanted to stop by and give what advice I could." She grinned and slapped his back, making him see stars. 

How was she this tall? She had to be at least 7 feet tall. She towered over Rei, her hands relaxing on her hips. "You know, if your pokemon masters a move, you can use it in different styles!" Rei tried to listen, he really did, but his ears were ringing. He remembered something his father had mentioned a long time ago. 

"Daddy?" Rei picked up his Lillipup plush and stared at it, making it hop up and down. 

"What is it, little cub?" Dad had asked, turning his head to gaze at his son over the paperwork he was filling out. 

"What was Mommy like?" The boy's silver eyes had laid upon his father's as he awaited an answer. His sister had looked up from her playing as well, her small hands that gripped her dolls pausing in their actions. 

"Well," he had said, sitting up and pushing away the paper, "she was a fighter, for one thing. Loved pokemon battles, almost as much as your uncle," he chuckled. He stared out the window, his eyes misty. "I wouldn't be surprised if you both grew up taller than me." 

"Why?" Rei had asked, hugging his plush to his chest and cocking his head. 

"Your mother was very, very tall," his father said. "Towered over me and just about everyone else. She was good at pokemon battles and wrestling." He looked between his twin children. "I do wish one of you had gotten her red hair," he lamented, ruffling Rei’s hair and making him giggle, "but this way you two get to match!"

"She's the one who wanted to name us, right Daddy?" Akari had joined them at the table, her small hands grabbing the edge and standing on her tiptoes to see them. 

Ingo had taken her into his lap. "That's right, cub. The heros were the only ones to ever beat her in a pokemon battle." 

"Wow," Akari said in wonder, her silver eyes sparkling, "she must have been really good." 

"She was very good," their father had said. "Very very good." 

Rei locked eyes with his sister, who looked just as shocked as he did. She'd figured it out, too. 

"... and if you need any cool new moves for your pokemon, just let me know!" Zisu boomed, her grin wide. 

"Y-yeah, we will," Akari stammered. "We should probably go, uh, check with Laventon about the Diamond Clan stuff now." Rei nodded in agreement, his wits slowly returning to him. 

"I'll see you two around, then," she waved as they made their escape. 

"I didn't think she'd be here!" Rei whispered in Unovan to his sister. 

"I thought she'd be someone from the Pearl Clan!" 

"I did too!" 

"What do we do?" she whispered to him, her hands shaking. "Our dead mom is just living in the village! With us!"

"She doesn't know yet," he pointed out, "we haven't been born yet. And she's not dead. Here. Yet. Has she even met Dad?" 

"I have no idea," Akari whispered. 

"I say we just pretend everything's normal. Maybe we can get to know her a bit," Rei said. 

"How? She might figure it out!"

"That we're her kids from the future that she had with a member of a different Clan? I don't think that's the first conclusion she'd jump to," he retorted. "Look, it's weird, yeah, but if we pretend everything's fine, then everything's fine. We're essentially strangers to her. We don't even really look like her." 

Akari sighed. "It just feels so weird." 

"Oh I agree," he remarked, "but I mean, what do we say? We need to do our jobs and she has things we can use, like training. I think that's gonna be a rare thing out here. We can't just say we refuse to see her just because." 

"Yeah," his sister sighed. "You're right."

"I know I am," he smirked. "Now let's go see what this mission entails." 

They met up with Laventon, who informed them that they should go meet with Mai, a Warden from the Diamond Clan, in the Obsidian Fieldlands. That was easy enough, Rei thought. The sun was up and out, the sky almost unbroken blue. There was a light breeze, but not much to complain about. They trekked to the Fieldlands, the now-familiar tents beginning to come into view as they came over the hill.

“Boo!” Rei jumped at the voice suddenly behind him and whirled around. A head of blonde hair bobbed in laughter. “Did I get you? I bet I did. Just wanted to come by and wish you guys luck. You know about the Back Strike Technique? It's a bit of a secret.” Rei breathed a sigh of relief. It was just that merchant from the other day. 

“Oh- uh, yeah, thanks, Volo,” Akari stammered. “We best be on our way…”

“Of course, don't let me keep you up!” He waved at them jovially and set off in the opposite direction down the path. The twins looked at each other and shrugged. They kept walking. 

Laventon waved to them from the camp and pointed to the bridge. “Down there is where Mai is waiting. She said she needed help with something important. I'm sure you'll be the perfect folks for the job!” 

The twins bobbed their heads and immediately set off, making sure to give any Shinx a wide berth lest they get a repeat of yesterday. 

—-----

After their spat, Elesa had insisted on taking the trio out for dinner. And in order to do so, showers were in order. Emmet had gone first, allowing Ingo and Elesa some time to themselves as he scrubbed himself clean. His hair regained its light silver hue. He shaved and scrubbed and cleaned for well over half an hour before finally emerging, a towel over the bottom half of his body and wet hair dripping into his eyes. 

“You'd better not be dripping water all over the carpet!” Elesa shouted from the kitchen. 

“You don't even pay the mortgage here!” Emmet cursed to himself as he shivered.

Arceus. It was cold out here. He hurried to his bedroom to get clothes on. 

He heard Elesa arguing with his brother and a few short minutes later, the shower turned on again. Emmet rolled his eyes as he threw on a t-shirt and some pants and ruffled his hair with the towel. He'd left his hairbrush in the bathroom. 

“Who's in the bathroom?” he asked as he approached the door. 

“S'not me,” came Elesa's reply from the kitchen. Emmet opened the door without any hesitation. The steam was the first thing to hit him square in the face, warm and humid. Then Ingo's shout as his gaunt face poked out of the shower curtain, his hair in his eyes, still with shampoo in it. 

“Hey! I'm showering here!”

“As if we don't have literally the same junk. I'm grabbing my hairbrush, ya big baby.”

“I've heard of this fantastic new phenomenon called knocking!” 

“Oh! You'll have to show me sometime, I must not have gotten the memo.” Emmet stood stubbornly in the bathroom, the door still half open as he brushed his hair in the foggy mirror, smirking. 

“Oh my Arc, get out. You're letting in the cold air.” Ingo flung water at him, forcing him to make a tactical retreat as he sniggered. 

Emmet brushed his hair and made himself presentable as the shower shut off. Elesa was scrolling her phone on the couch as she waited for the twins to finish up. “How do you feel about Carthey's?” 

“That sounds fine to me.” He knew Ingo also like Carthey's well enough. Emmet adjusted his button-up, popping the collar and making sure the buttons were all fastened. Before long, his brother appeared in the front room as well, looking identical to Emmet. “One of us is going to have to change,” Emmet grinned. 

“You've been recycling that joke for over thirty years.” 

“And it's funny every single time!” 

“I beg to differ.”

“Then beg.” Ingo squinted at Emmet, who was grinning like an idiot. He scoffed, but Emmet could see the twinkle returning to his eyes. Good. 

“Ig? Carthey's? Yay or nay?” Elesa cut in. 

“That sounds lovely tonight. Been awhile since we had it.” Ingo was popping his own collar and smoothing out his shirt. He looked worlds better than he had the night before. He was still struggling, that much was obvious; the bags under his eyes were still there and his fingers still shook slightly with exhaustion. But the shadows were not as consuming, his shaking had reduced to tremors, the lights in his eyes had somewhat returned. Emmet knew from firsthand experience that he would not be okay until he got his babies back, but in the meantime, Emmet was happy to see his brother back from being a walking corpse. 

“I'm willing to bet it's been awhile since you had anything. I'm ready to go whenever you dorks are.” The trio crowded out the door and Emmet locked it behind them, telling Haxorus to watch over the house while they were gone.

How to Overcome Common Challenges When Using Universal Engine Parts

Introduction

When it comes to engine maintenance or upgrades—whether for aviation, automotive, industrial, or marine applications—Universal Engine Parts are often promoted as an affordable, flexible solution. They promise convenience, broader compatibility, and cost savings compared to Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts.

However, universal doesn’t always mean hassle-free. Without the right knowledge and precautions, using Universal Engine Parts can lead to installation headaches, performance issues, or even expensive breakdowns.

This comprehensive guide will help you understand the unique challenges that come with universal parts and provide proven strategies to overcome them—so you can maximize value without sacrificing reliability or safety.

What Are Universal Engine Parts?

Before diving into the pitfalls and solutions, it’s helpful to clarify what “universal” means in this context.

Universal engine parts are components designed to fit a broad range of engines rather than a single, specific make or model. Examples include:

Universal air filters

Generic spark plugs

Standard oil filters

Aftermarket gaskets or seals

Universal fuel pumps

These parts are typically designed to meet general industry standards and sizes, making them attractive when you want flexibility or a more affordable alternative to OEM parts.

The Benefits—and Risks—of Using Universal Engine Parts

✅ Benefits:

Cost Savings: Usually less expensive than OEM parts.

Availability: Easier to find from multiple suppliers.

Versatility: May work for multiple engines, reducing inventory needs.

Competitive Options: Encourages market competition, lowering prices.

❌ Risks:

Fitment Issues: May not fit perfectly, requiring modifications.

Variable Quality: Manufacturing standards can vary widely.

Performance Variability: May not match OEM specs for tight tolerances.

Warranty Concerns: Can void warranties if not approved by the engine maker.

Common Challenges When Using Universal Engine Parts—and How to Overcome Them

Let’s break down each major challenge you might face, along with practical steps to solve them.

1️⃣ Compatibility and Fitment Problems

The Problem: One of the biggest pitfalls is assuming a universal part will drop right in. Small dimensional differences can lead to leaks, vibration, or premature wear.

How to Overcome It:

Cross-Reference Carefully: Use detailed cross-reference charts from trusted suppliers to ensure a true match for your engine make and model.

Measure Before Installing: Use calipers or micrometers to confirm critical dimensions match your OEM part.

Check for Updates: Engine designs change over time—confirm that the universal part supports your specific production year.

Pro Tip: When in doubt, ask your mechanic or parts supplier for recommendations before buying universal replacements.

2️⃣ Quality and Reliability Concerns

The Problem: Not all universal parts are built to the same quality standards. Low-cost knockoffs may fail sooner, causing unexpected downtime.

How to Overcome It:

Buy from Reputable Brands: Stick to well-known aftermarket brands with positive reviews.

Look for Certifications: Choose parts that meet industry standards (e.g., ISO, SAE).

Ask for Warranties: A good warranty shows the manufacturer stands behind their product.

Pro Tip: Sometimes it’s worth paying slightly more for premium universal parts to ensure durability and consistent performance.

3️⃣ Installation Difficulties

The Problem: Even small deviations in design can complicate installation—leading to longer labor times or needing extra tools.

How to Overcome It:

Read Installation Guides: Many reputable suppliers provide detailed instructions.

Keep OEM Parts Handy: Use the old part as a reference for any modifications.

Have the Right Tools: Sometimes installation requires special adapters or gaskets—don’t skimp here.

Pro Tip: If a universal part requires significant adjustments to fit, reconsider whether an OEM or model-specific part might be more cost-effective in the long run.

4️⃣ Performance Mismatch

The Problem: Universal parts may meet basic dimensions but can differ in material quality or performance specs—for example, a fuel pump’s flow rate might be too low or too high.

How to Overcome It:

Check Technical Specs: Look at PSI ratings, flow rates, temperature limits, and material grades.

Consult Professionals: If unsure, ask a mechanic or parts specialist if the universal part’s performance aligns with your engine’s requirements.

Test Thoroughly: After installation, monitor engine performance for any signs of underperformance or irregularities.

Pro Tip: For critical systems (like fuel delivery or cooling), many experts recommend sticking to OEM or high-quality aftermarket parts with proven performance data.

5️⃣ Voiding Warranties and Compliance Issues

The Problem: Some manufacturers specify that using non-OEM parts can void warranties or breach maintenance compliance—especially in regulated industries like aviation.

How to Overcome It:

Read the Fine Print: Review your engine’s warranty terms before using universal parts.

Use Approved Equivalents: Some universal parts are certified as PMA (Parts Manufacturer Approval) in aviation—which keeps you compliant.

Document Everything: Keep receipts, installation records, and product certifications to defend your maintenance choices if needed.

Pro Tip: If maintaining warranty coverage is a priority, ask your engine manufacturer for a list of approved universal or aftermarket alternatives.

How to Source the Best Universal Engine Parts

Finding reliable Universal Engine Parts starts with choosing the right supplier. Here’s a checklist to help:

✅ Check Reviews: Look for consistent positive feedback from other buyers. ✅ Verify Return Policy: Good sellers back their products with hassle-free returns or exchanges. ✅ Request Technical Data: Reliable sellers should provide detailed product specs and compatibility charts. ✅ Compare Prices: Be wary of prices that are far below market average—they can signal counterfeit or subpar quality. ✅ Ask About Support: Some suppliers offer technical support to help you select and install the right part.

When Universal Parts Make Sense—and When They Don’t

✔️ When They’re a Good Fit:

For non-critical components like filters, hoses, or standard gaskets.

When the OEM part is discontinued or on backorder.

For older engines where exact OEM parts are difficult to find.

When cost savings are more important than maximum performance.

❌ When They’re Risky:

For high-stress, precision components (e.g., pistons, turbine blades).

When your engine is under warranty, you must use OEM-approved parts.

When safety-critical performance is non-negotiable (e.g., aviation hot section parts).

Best Practices for Using Universal Engine Parts

To get the best results with Universal Engine Parts, follow these best practices:

Document Everything: Keep all purchase invoices, installation records, and maintenance logs. This helps with warranty claims and resale value.

Inspect Before Use: Check universal parts for manufacturing defects before installing.

Test After Installation: Run the engine and monitor for unusual noises, leaks, or performance drops.

Regular Maintenance: Universal parts may require closer monitoring than OEM parts—inspect them more frequently during routine checks.

Stay Informed: Keep up with industry updates—better universal alternatives often come to market with improved materials and engineering.

Conclusion

Universal engine parts offer undeniable benefits in cost and availability, but they aren’t a one-size-fits-all solution. By understanding their limitations, doing careful research, and following proven best practices, you can enjoy the savings and flexibility of universal parts—without compromising the performance or reliability of your engine.

In the end, the smartest approach is to balance convenience and caution. Use trusted suppliers, verify compatibility, and don’t cut corners on critical systems. This way, universal parts can be a valuable part of your maintenance toolkit for years to come.

How to Sell Gym Equipment at Online Auctions (Without the Headache)

If you've got a garage full of gym equipment collecting dust—or you're a gym owner downsizing, upgrading, or even shutting down—selling your fitness gear can seem like a daunting task. You’ve got heavy machines, bulky weights, and a dozen platforms that no longer spark joy (or income). What do you do?

Online auctions might just be your golden ticket.

They offer a practical, fast-moving way to turn unused gym gear into cash without dealing with flakey buyers, lowball offers, or the headache of setting up individual listings on Facebook Marketplace for every dumbbell you own. But it’s not just a matter of uploading a few pictures and waiting for the money to roll in. Selling successfully at an online auction—especially when it comes to specialized equipment—takes a little strategy.

Here’s a practical, no-fluff guide on how to sell gym equipment at online auctions effectively.

1. Know What You’re Selling (And Be Honest About It)  

Start by taking stock of your equipment. Is it commercial-grade or home-use? How old is it? Has it been maintained? Any rust, wear, or missing parts? Buyers want transparency—and seasoned bidders will know if something looks off.

Make a list of:

Brand and model numbers

Year purchased (or at least a rough idea)

Working condition (be honest)

Dimensions (especially for larger items like squat racks or treadmills)

Special features (touchscreen consoles, incline settings, Wi-Fi-enabled, etc.)

This info becomes gold when you list the product. More clarity = more trust = higher bids.

2. Choose the Right Online Auction Platform  

Not all online auction sites are created equal. Some are generalists (like eBay), while others specialize in fitness or commercial liquidation. It pays to know who you’re selling to.

Popular platforms:

eBay: Huge audience, but more suited to individual items or home-use gear. Be prepared for shipping.

GovDeals, AuctionTime, BidSpotter: Better for bulk commercial gear or full gym closures.

Local auction houses with an online presence: Many now run digital auctions—ideal if you want local pickup and less logistics stress.

Before committing, look into the platform’s:

Fees (some take 10%–20% commissions)

Buyer traffic (are people actually bidding on gym gear there?)

Shipping/pickup rules

Payment protections

3. Presentation Matters—Photos Sell Gear  

You don’t need to be a photographer, but you do need to show your equipment in the best light—literally and figuratively.

Tips for quality photos:

Use natural lighting if possible

Clean the equipment (wipe down dust and sweat marks)

Show the full item and close-ups of key features

Photograph any damage honestly

If it's plugged in and works, show it running

A grainy, shadowy picture of a treadmill wedged in your basement corner won’t inspire much confidence.

4. Write Descriptions That Actually Help Buyers  

It’s tempting to write, “Treadmill for sale. Works great.”

But that won’t cut it.

Instead, speak to what your ideal buyer wants to know. Use natural language, avoid jargon, and cover the key details—especially if it’s a commercial piece of gym gear.

Example:

Life Fitness 95T Inspire Treadmill – Commercial Grade

Purchased in 2019, gently used in a boutique gym. Touchscreen console with built-in workouts and TV. Smooth belt, incline works perfectly. Minor scuffs on side rails. No rust or performance issues. 220V plug. Local pickup only in Houston, TX.

That level of detail helps people make confident bids. And more confidence means more competition.

5. Set Realistic Starting Bids (And Use Reserves Wisely)  

You don’t want to scare buyers off with a high starting price—but you also don’t want to give your $2,000 spin bike away for $60.

Do a quick market check:

Search for similar equipment on the same platform

Check sold listings, not just current ones

Factor in the condition, age, and your pickup/shipping options

If your item is in demand, starting low can actually attract more bidders. Just be smart about using a reserve price if you’re not willing to let it go below a certain amount.

6. Decide on Shipping or Local Pickup  

Let’s be honest—shipping gym equipment is a pain.

A single elliptical machine can weigh 200 pounds and cost hundreds to ship across the country. Unless you have commercial shipping hookups, offering local pickup is often the simplest route.

But if you’re selling smaller items (like sets of dumbbells, kettlebells, or resistance bands), offering to ship can widen your buyer pool.

Pro tip: If you must ship a heavy item, mention “freight shipping available at buyer’s expense” in your listing. That keeps you covered.

7. Time Your Auction Strategically  

Yes, even timing can influence your success.

Try listing your gym equipment auction to end on a Sunday evening, when more people are casually browsing and have time to bid. Avoid holiday weekends or big sports events.

If your auction is running for a week, that mid-to-late timing matters more than you’d think.

8. Communicate Clearly With Buyers  

Once the auction ends, don’t disappear.

Answer questions quickly. Be courteous, especially if there’s a hiccup with pickup or payment. Solid communication keeps your reputation strong (and avoids disputes or bad reviews on platforms like eBay).

If someone flakes out, report the issue through the proper channel and relist. It happens.

9. Think Beyond Just One Auction  

If you’re liquidating an entire gym—or plan to sell fitness gear often—it might be worth building a seller profile on one or two platforms. Reviews and credibility go a long way in the auction world.

Plus, you’ll learn what sells fast, what doesn’t, and what types of listings perform best.

Final Thoughts  

Selling fitness equipment doesn’t have to feel like dragging a treadmill uphill.

Online auctions offer an efficient, scalable way to offload everything from squat racks to rowing machines—and with the right approach, they can get you better value than local classifieds or marketplace haggling ever could.

Just remember: clear listings, honest descriptions, good photos, and strategic pricing are your best allies.

So if you’re staring at a room full of machines wondering where to begin, try listing your first piece today. You might be surprised at how smooth the process can be—especially when you tap into the power of a gym equipment auction.

Want a bonus tip? Bundle similar items (like plates or kettlebells) into a single lot. It reduces your workload and boosts your chances of a decent final price.

Happy selling—and may the highest bidder win.

Monsoon Maintenance Mastery: Keeping Your Yamaha Ready for Nepal's Rainy Season

The Nepalese monsoon brings life to the hills and valleys but also poses special challenges for motorcyclists. Rain that can turn roads into rivers and humidity that even the strongest machines find trying, your Yamaha needs special attention during the challenging months. Proper monsoon care is not just about maintaining the performance of your bike—it's about maintaining safety and reliability when you most need it.

Pre-Monsoon Preparation: Laying the Groundwork

Preventive maintenance need not wait for the monsoon rain to arrive. Inspect your Yamaha thoroughly before the first raindrops. Inspect tire tread depth meticulously, as tired tires become hazardous in wet conditions. Check tire pressure to manufacturer recommendations, usually in your owner's manual or the vehicle itself. A bit more pressure can ward off hydroplaning, but do not overdo it.

Inspect your braking system thoroughly. Brake pads should have adequate thickness, and brake fluid should appear clear, not dark or contaminated. Monsoon riding demands responsive brakes, and moisture can compromise brake performance if components are already worn. Replace brake fluid if it hasn't been changed in the past year, as it absorbs moisture over time.

Engine Protection Strategies

Your Yamaha's engine faces multiple monsoon threats: water ingestion, increased condensation, and reduced air quality. Start by checking your air filter—a clean filter is crucial during dusty pre-monsoon conditions and helps prevent water from entering the intake system during heavy rains.

Use a better quality engine oil when there is monsoon. Higher humidity and temperature variations can degrade normal oils quickly. Synthetic oils better sustain their protective functions under these conditions. Change oil before the onset of monsoons and track it more regularly during monsoons.

Seal electrical connections with dielectric grease, especially near the spark plug, ignition coil, and battery terminals. Water and electricity don't mix, and the monsoon humidity of Nepal creates corrosion that results in starting issues and electrical malfunctions.

Daily Monsoon Riding Practices

When motorcycling during monsoon times, give your Yamaha more extra time to warm up. Cold engines and high humidity make more condensation, which will impact performance. Idle your bike for a little more time than normal before taking off.

After every wet ride, follow a quick maintenance regimen. Clean visible water from the engine, exhaust pipes, and electrical parts. Give special care to the chain—wet weather speeds up rust development. Spray chain lubricant more often in monsoon months, preferably after every wet ride.

Park your Yamaha in covered spaces whenever you can. If parking outside is unavoidable, use a good motorcycle cover with ventilation to let air in but keep rain out. Waterproof covers that build up moisture will do more damage than good by causing a greenhouse effect.

Chain and Drive System Care

The drive chain needs special care in the monsoon months. Road dirt, water, and more stop-and-go riding in rainy conditions cause wear. Clean your chain weekly with a chain cleaner and soft brush, then lubricate the chain with a suitable lubricant. Select lubricants formulated for wet riding—they withstand washing away in rain conditions better than the regular kind.

Monitor chain tension more often, as wet weather causes chains to stretch. A tensioned chain will have 25-30mm of free movement at the tightest point, but consult your particular Yamaha model's handbook for the correct information.

Electrical System Protection

Monsoon driving conditions put a lot of stress on electrical systems. Clean battery terminals and use petroleum jelly or terminal protectors to avoid corrosion. Ensure your battery is tightly mounted—vibrations are amplified in rainy, rough road conditions.

Check all the lights frequently. Monsoon riding requires maximum visibility, and water will destroy bulbs earlier than normal. Upgrade to LED lights if your Yamaha model supports them since they're more dependable in wet conditions and offer greater visibility.

Storage and Long-term Care

If you must put your Yamaha away during especially heavy monsoon seasons, store it properly. Allow the engine to get warm, then add fuel stabilizer to prevent the engine's fuel from breaking down. Fill the tank all the way to reduce condensation space.

Put a light coat of oil on exposed metal areas to guard against rust. Disconnect the battery and keep it in a dry place, with its charge checked every month. Plug the exhaust outlet with a plastic bag tied with a rubber band to keep moisture out, but don't forget to take it off before cranking the engine.

When to Seek Professional Help

Certain monsoon maintenance work needs a professional touch. If you hear strange engine noises, are having trouble starting, or experience electrical problems, head to an authorized Yamaha service location as soon as possible. Trying to repair water-affected electrical components with insufficient knowledge can lead to costly issues.

Yearly monsoon preparation at a Yamaha service location provides thorough examination of items you may overlook. Professional technicians can find issues before they become roadside repairs during peak travel periods.

Conclusion

Mastering monsoon maintenance is not about doing complicated repairs—it's about regular, preventive maintenance that makes your Yamaha dependable when roads are tough and the weather is unpredictable. By adopting these habits, you'll keep your bike running its best during the monsoon season in Nepal and prolong its lifespan in general.

Don't forget that monsoon servicing is an investment in reliability, safety, and long-term value. A serviced Yamaha will get you through many a monsoon season, delivering reliable transportation when it matters most. Begin preparing early for the monsoons, remain regular with maintenance procedures, and don't delay consulting experts when necessary.

For authentic Yamaha spare parts and expert monsoon servicing, drop by your local authorized Yamaha dealer in Nepal.

What Is a DApp and Why Is It Central to Blockchain Development Services UAE?

In just a few years, the United Arab Emirates shot to the top of the global blockchain chart. A mix of clear laws, an ambitious national agenda, and an insatiable appetite for fresh ideas keeps money streaming into decentralized tech.

At the heart of this movement sits one shining star: the Decentralized Application, usually called DApp.

So, what exactly is a DApp, and why has it become essential for almost every blockchain project in the UAE?

Let's take a closer look and see why DApps are more than just a buzzword; they are fast becoming a cornerstone of the UAEs digital makeover.

A DApp is an application hosted directly on a public blockchain instead of locked on a corporate server. Unlike Instagram, Netflix, or any other service that relies on one company for control, DApp stands alone because tiny self-running programs called smart contracts take over as soon as agreed rules are met.

- Decentralization: Data and processing are spread across the whole chain, so nothing lives in a single central folder.

- Smart Contracts: Guidelines are coded in a way that's set in stone, so they can’t be adjusted on a bad day or swapped out after a last-minute brainstorming session.

- Token Economy: Most DApps create their own tokens, letting users pay fees, vote on changes, and earn rewards whenever they join.

- Open Source: Most of these decentralized apps keep their code public, so anyone can scan it for bugs, suggest fixes, or even clone the project.

By cutting out middlemen, DApps offer a clear, secure, and censorship-proof way to run software, and that promise is pushing their rapid rise across the UAE.

Why Are DApps Key for Blockchain Development in the UAE?

1. Keeping Step with the UAE's Blockchain-First Vision

Under the Dubai Blockchain Strategy and the Emirates Blockchain Strategy 2021, the federal government is steadily swapping public services and business tasks for blockchain-backed solutions.

A big piece of this plan calls for DApps in:

Identity verification

Supply chain transparency

Property and land registration

Healthcare data management

Digital payments and wallets

Plugging DApps into so many government and market workflows is sparking demand for local dev teams that can build to national standards and meet fast-moving business goals.

2. Security and Transparency for High-Stakes Industries

The UAE hosts finance, real-estate, energy, and logistics-businesses that depend on trust and clean data. Ordinary apps can be hacked, altered, or frozen at peak hours. DApps, however, run on locked blockchains and public ledgers, so users see proof they can't dispute. When coders build well, a DApp can promise:

full traceability on every shipment

records no one can tamper with

voting totals sealed the moment they are cast

lending circles that function without banks

Because of these wins, UAE blockchain teams now chase industry-specific, bullet-proof DApps.

3. Tokenization and Fresh Business Models

Most DApps offer tokens that turn everyday exchanges into something richer. Whether loyalty coins, shared ownership, or DeFi tools, tokens open the door to:

reward apps that keep shoppers coming back

platforms that let anyone buy a small piece of real estate

governance where holders vote on new rules

bonuses for choosing clean power

These token-powered projects are booming in the UAE, riding the Gulf fin-tech surge.

DApps lie at the core of Web3, allowing people to trade, chat, and save data without a middleman. While the region pilots Metaverse ideas-from Dubai's Metaverse Assembly to various digital twins-these apps drive:

virtual land shops

shared identities and avatars

NFT tickets for events

social hubs beyond big tech

Forward-looking UAE companies now partner with blockchain teams to ready themselves for this next-gen online world.

Across the Emirates, decentralized apps (DApps) are already making a real splash. Here's a look at the action:

- Real Estate Tokenization

Developers use DApps to break expensive buildings into tokenized shares. Each token stands for a small piece of the property, letting everyday investors chip in. The system runs KYC steps on its own and keeps a clear, tamper-proof ledger, so everyone knows who owns what. The result is faster sales and many more people able to join the real-estate market.

- Decentralized Voting Platforms  

Public elections and private board votes now run on smart-rule apps that save each ballot on an open ledger. Because anyone can check the code, people trust the result, and outside tampering gets very hard.

- Health Data DApps  

Some hospitals are piloting chain apps that let patients and doctors own their medical files. Records move easily between clinics but stay private, matching the UAEs push for modern, safe health tech.

- Blockchain-Based Logistics   Merchants track boxes, review invoices, and verify documents in real time with shipping apps. Clear sight at every port powers the UAEs huge trade business and keeps goods moving fast and fair.

4. Why Businesses in the UAE Are Turning to Custom DApp Development

The United Arab Emirates welcomes new tech regulations, its people live online, and the government pushes fresh ideas. Ready-made apps still tempt firms, yet they never line up perfectly with local ways of working. Because of that gap, building a custom decentralized app (DApp) has become the go-to move for:

An architecture that can grow with one industry.

Full compliance with UAE data and crypto laws.

Smooth links to local banks and payment gateways.

Interfaces that speak Arabic, English, and more.

A single easy experience for Web2 visitors and Web3 wallets.

Pick the right team, and your DApp will meet today's goals and quickly adjust to tomorrow's UAE tech scene.

5. How to Begin Your Blockchain Project in the UAE

Thinking about your first DApp? Follow this clear, step-by-step plan:

Define the Use Case. Decide exactly what problem you want to fix and check if decentralization adds real value.

Choose the Blockchain Platform Ethereum, Polygon, BNB Smart Chain, or another ledger each brings its own strengths and costs.

Hire Expert Developers Work with a studio skilled in smart contracts, friendly UX/UI, and the protocols you choose.

Prototype and Test Build a quick model, watch people use it, and tweak it based on what they say.

Do this, and you can roll out a DApp that works, feels safe, and fits local rules.

Deploy and Scale After launch, listen, adjust the code fast, and let speed and users grow.

A reliable dev partner guides you, keeping your DApp secure, legal, and noticed.-

How to Write Instagram Captions That Actually Support Your Funnel

Instagram may be visual-first, but your captions are where conversions happen. A beautiful image can catch the eye, but it’s the caption that sparks action, builds trust, and leads people deeper into your marketing funnel.

The problem? Most captions fall flat. They’re either too vague, too salesy, or disconnected from your broader content strategy. Whether you're selling skincare, coaching programs, or pay per click services, your captions need to do more than just entertain—they need to strategically guide followers from curiosity to conversion.

Let’s break down how to write Instagram captions that aren’t just scroll-worthy—but funnel-friendly.

1. Start With Funnel Awareness in Mind

Your Instagram audience is not all at the same stage. Some are just discovering your brand (top of funnel), others are comparing options (middle), and a few are ready to buy (bottom). Your captions should reflect that.

Top of Funnel (TOFU)

Focus: Attention + Education

Use questions, relatable stories, or bold stats

Avoid hard sells—this stage is about trust and curiosity

Example: “Ever feel like your ads are draining your budget with zero ROI? You’re not alone—and it’s fixable.”

Middle of Funnel (MOFU)

Focus: Consideration + Value

Share tips, behind-the-scenes content, or customer FAQs

Mention your product/service as a helpful solution

Example: “We helped a client reduce their CPC by 42% using this 3-step targeting tweak. Want in? Here’s how it works…”

Bottom of Funnel (BOFU)

Focus: Conversion

Use urgency, social proof, and clear CTAs

Include links in bio, or reference to DM or landing pages

Example: “Only 3 spots left for our next PPC audit sprint. DM ‘READY’ to claim yours.”

2. Write Like You Speak—But With Purpose

Instagram is not the place for robotic marketing copy. It’s a conversation. But casual doesn’t mean careless.

Great captions feel:

Personal, like a friend is talking to you

Clear about what’s being offered

Emotionally resonant

Bad: “Our team offers comprehensive pay per click services for businesses of all sizes.”

Better: “Tired of wasting money on ads that don’t convert? Let’s fix that. Our PPC team knows where your budget leaks—and how to plug them.”

3. Lead With a Hook, Not a Sales Pitch

Your first line is your caption headline—make it count. Instagram truncates after the first two lines, so if your hook doesn’t engage, your message won’t even get seen.

Hook ideas:

Ask a polarizing question

Start with a bold stat

Use a one-liner that teases the pain or benefit

Example: “What if your next Instagram post got you 5 qualified leads instead of just likes?”

Once they tap “more”, you’ve won their attention—and can build from there.

4. Use Storytelling to Build Connection

Even if you’re selling a data-driven service like pay per click services, storytelling matters. Why? Because stories create emotional engagement and contextualize your value.

Tell:

Customer success stories

“From struggle to solution” narratives

Founder or team anecdotes related to the offer

Keep it authentic and brief, but purposeful.

5. Add Micro-CTAs Throughout

You don’t need to wait till the end of the caption to include a CTA. In fact, placing micro-CTAs in the middle can increase engagement.

Types of CTAs:

“Drop a 🔥 if this resonates”

“Save this for later”

“DM us the word ‘PPC’ and we’ll send the checklist”

Make the action easy, and tie it into the next stage of your funnel (e.g., lead magnet, webinar, landing page).

6. Don’t Forget the Hashtag & Format Strategy

Hashtags help discoverability—but they won’t save weak copy. Still, using 5–10 relevant, niche-specific hashtags can bring you qualified traffic.

Also, structure matters:

Use line breaks

Break long captions into readable chunks

Use emojis to guide attention, but don’t overdo it

A clean, clear caption gets read. A dense wall of text gets skipped.

7. Align With Funnel Touchpoints Off Instagram

Your caption shouldn’t be a dead end. It should connect to:

Your link-in-bio page

A lead magnet landing page

A DM automation flow

Your blog, where readers can explore related content (like pay per click services)

Each caption should serve as a bridge to a deeper experience—whether that’s nurturing, educating, or converting.

Conclusion: Captions That Convert Are Captions With Strategy

Your Instagram captions don’t just fill space under a photo—they guide your followers through the funnel. When written with purpose, tone, and audience intent in mind, captions can do everything from build awareness to drive direct sales.

So the next time you write one, ask yourself: Is this helping someone move one step closer to trusting, engaging, or buying from us? If not—revise.

Whether you’re selling skincare or pay per click services, every caption is a chance to turn a scroll into a step forward.

Smart Fuel Management: Tips for Efficient LPG Consumption in Kenyan Forklifts

In Kenya's bustling industrial and logistics sectors, forklift trucks are the backbone of material handling. Among the various power sources available, Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) powered forklifts stand out for their versatility, performance, and cleaner emissions compared to diesel counterparts. However, with fuel costs being a significant operational expense, smart fuel management for these vital machines is not just a best practice – it's an economic imperative. Optimizing LPG consumption directly translates to lower operating costs, enhanced profitability, and a more sustainable fleet for Kenyan businesses.

The Economic Imperative of Efficient LPG Use

Every liter of LPG saved contributes directly to a company's bottom line. In a competitive market, where margins can be tight, even marginal improvements in fuel efficiency can yield substantial savings over a year, especially across a fleet of multiple forklifts. Beyond the direct financial impact, reduced fuel consumption also aligns with environmental responsibility. It lessens the carbon footprint of operations, contributing to cleaner air and meeting growing sustainability mandates. Therefore, strategic fuel management is not merely about cutting costs; it's about fostering a more efficient, environmentally conscious, and financially robust operation.

Key Factors Influencing LPG Consumption

Several elements determine how efficiently an LPG forklift consumes fuel. Understanding these factors is the first step toward implementing effective management strategies:

Operator Behavior: Aggressive acceleration and braking, excessive speed, unnecessary idling, and abrupt movements drastically increase fuel burn.

Forklift Maintenance: A poorly maintained engine, clogged air filters, worn spark plugs, incorrectly tuned fuel systems, and worn-out components force the engine to work harder, consuming more fuel.

Load Management: Consistently overloading forklifts or inefficiently planning lifting and moving tasks places undue strain on the engine and hydraulic systems, leading to higher fuel consumption.

Tire Condition and Pressure: Under-inflated or worn tires increase rolling resistance, making the forklift less efficient.

Site Conditions: Uneven terrain, ramps, and long travel distances require more power and thus more fuel.

Fuel Quality: Inconsistent or substandard LPG can lead to incomplete combustion, reducing efficiency and potentially damaging engine components over time.

Practical Tips for Optimizing LPG Consumption

Implementing a combination of these strategies can significantly reduce LPG consumption in your Kenyan forklift fleet:

Operator Training and Best Practices

Invest in comprehensive training for all forklift operators. Emphasize smooth driving techniques, including gradual acceleration and braking. Instill the habit of minimizing idling; an engine running without performing work is simply wasting fuel. Teach operators to plan their routes efficiently, reducing unnecessary travel distance and lifting cycles. Empowering operators with knowledge about fuel-efficient driving directly impacts your bottom line.

Rigorous Maintenance Schedule

Adhere strictly to manufacturer-recommended maintenance schedules. Regular servicing of the engine, ignition system (spark plugs, wires), and crucially, the LPG fuel system, is paramount. Clean air filters ensure proper air-fuel mixture, while correctly adjusted carburetors or fuel injection systems optimize combustion. A well-tuned engine performs more efficiently and uses less fuel. Remember to check and maintain proper tire pressure regularly, as under-inflated tires significantly increase fuel consumption.

Load Optimization and Route Planning

Avoid overloading forklifts at all costs. Overloading not only poses safety risks but also forces the engine to burn more fuel to lift and transport heavier loads. Encourage operators to plan their routes within the warehouse or site, minimizing empty runs and optimizing material flow to reduce travel distances.

Proper LPG Cylinder Handling and Storage

Ensure LPG cylinders are stored and handled correctly to prevent leaks. Train operators on proper cylinder connection and disconnection procedures. Fully utilize each cylinder before replacement; leaving residual gas in frequently swapped cylinders leads to waste over time.

Scheduled Servicing from Reputable Providers

Partnering with professional service providers for routine maintenance and repairs is crucial. They have the specialized tools and expertise to properly diagnose and tune LPG engines, ensuring they run at peak efficiency. This expertise often goes beyond what in-house maintenance teams might possess.
