“Perhaps it was something that hit me, perhaps it was something I ate. But out of the blue, I dreamed I met you, and you said to me, "Hi, ya Gate!" Millions have heard you play Chopin, the critics applaud and approve. But millions more would simply adore to hear you get in the groove!”
— Judy Garland & José Iturbi, “The Joint is Really Jumpin’ in Carnegie Hall”

Dipper makes a deal with a salesman who’s new in town. The salesman has more points than most, and sharper angles than should be possible for a single person, but Dipper knows better by knowing, and sees him for what he is. He’s not a person. He’s a relic of Dipper’s childhood, of nightmares that are frequent but regular. Regular as in normal, not tinted gold and compelling him to scratch his eyelids off when he wakes. It’s the kind of thing that the human mind dreams up on its own as a defense mechanism against some horrible trauma. They’re a product of Dipper’s own mind, and no one else’s, and that is a comfort, in a way. Bill Cipher is not back from the dead because he was never dead to begin with, but he’s come back all the same. It’s not an issue of what, or even who, but rather: how much can Bill Cipher do for Dipper? When the fate of Gravity Falls once again hangs in the balance—that, and the sanctity of the entire dimension—shaking a few hands is the least of Dipper’s burdens. Anything to ease the way.
Bill & Dipper in the same universe

Best Friends Brother ⊹ . + °
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
feat. Charlie Weasley x fem!reader
summary: You are Fred & George’s best friend, and meet their mysterious older brother, Charlie, at a product launch at Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes.
cw: MDNI 18+ smut with basically zero plot. charlie has an absolutely filthy mouth. no war (or light war? idk, everyone is alive)
an: this was supposed to be a casual hook up when I initially planned it, but the dick was so good they fell in love ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
part two | masterlist
+ ° . ๑・° ⊹ . + ° . ๑・° ⊹ . + ° . ๑・° ⊹ . +
Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes had a line around the building, hopeful witches and wizards desperate to get a glimpse of the Weasley twin’s newest product. You strolled past them in your mini dress and tights, more than a little chuffed by their jealous glares.
The doors were locked, blocked off with enchanted rope, but when Fred spotted you through the window, he ran to unlock the doors.
“Y/n! I’m so glad you could make it. Georgie, looks who’s here!” Fred slung an arm over your shoulders and ushered you into the store. It was the cleanest you’d ever seen it, with streamers and lights strung everywhere, and a long table loaded with food and drink.
“Y/n!” George shouted, popping up from behind the register. Both of them were dressed in freshly pressed brown suits, looking exceptionally dapper. He came aroud the counter and pulled you into a hug. “Thanks for coming out.”
“Wouldn’t miss it,” you grinned up at them, pride filling your chest. You’d been close with the twins for years, a friendship that started in school and only grew in adulthood, since you worked a few doors down at Honeydukes.
“Come, you have to meet our family!” They ushered you upstairs, where a dozen or so people waited, several faces were familiar, some were not.
“You remember Harry, Ron, and Ginny,” George said, and you greeted them all with a wave.
“And our parents, Molly and Arthur,” Fred continued.
“Oh, y/n! How lovely to see you!” Molly cooed, pulling you into a rib-cracking hug. “My, what a beautiful young lady you’ve grown into.” She pinched you cheek, and heat scorched your face.
“And this is our older brother’s Percy, Charlie, and Bill. And Bill’s wife, Fleur.”
You turned to the trio of men hovering by the bookcases, and nearly tripped over your heels. Percy, you remembered from school, Fleur as well, and Bill was too busy gazing down at her blonde head to glance your way. But Charlie. He stared straight through you, his dark eyes swallowing you whole.
“Pleasure,” Charlie said, his voice honeyed and deep. He was shorter that Percy beside him, but muscular enough that the maroon blazer he wore seemed a little stretched at the shoulders. His white button down shirt beneath it was tailored perfectly to fit across his wide chest and taper at his defined waist. Freckles kissed his cheeks and forehead, his skin a shade tanner than his siblings, though he shared their ginger hair, mid-length and wavy.
“Hello,” you managed, giving him a small smile. But before you could engage further, George whisked you away.
“It’s tiiiime!” Fred shouted, waving his wand, and the doors burst open.
+ ° . ๑・° ⊹ . + ° . ๑・° ⊹ . + ° . ๑・° ⊹ . +
As the event raged on, you found yourself drawn to Charlie’s orbit, watching as he mingled with guests and chatted with his family. He seemed to draw a lot of attention, what with his rugged good looks and the fact that he was a dragon trainer. It seemed everyone wanted a sliver of Charlie Weasley’s attention.
So you admired him from a far, and tried to help Fred and George as best you could.
You chatted with customers, explaining the new product the best you could, but you kept feeling the tug of someone’s attention at the nape of your neck, distracting you. When the customer finally moved on, you glanced towards the direction of the feeling, and caught Charlie watching you over the rim of his fire whiskey, ignoring the gentleman attempting to talk to him entirely.
The air froze in your lungs, you heart tripping over itself. His gaze was scorching, and if looks could burn…you were certain your clothes would be rendered to ash.
Desire pooled in your lower belly, heating your blood to an uncomfortable degree. Your heart was pounding so loudly in your ears, you missed George approach.
“Hey, y/n, enjoying yourself?” He asked, offering you a glass of champagne with a candy snitch floating in it.
You accepted with a smile. “I am, thank you. You guys have done an incredible job.”
George beamed, clinking your glasses together before loping off to sell to another customer.
“So, how long have you known my brothers?” A low voice murmured in your ear, and you whirled around, nearly spilling champagne all over Charlie’s front. He caught your elbow with a steady hand, his grip firm but gentle. “Easy, love,” he said, the corner of his mouth lifting.
“Oh, uh, f-five years? I think,” you stuttered, looking anywhere but his smoldering eyes.
“Then how have we never met? I’d certainly remember you.”
You shrugged a shoulder, taking what you hoped was a casual sip of wine. “Seems you haven’t been paying much attention,” you teased, finally meeting his eyes.
His smirk grew into a soft smile. “What a grave error on my part.”
“Are you in town for the event, or…?” You could feel heat climbing up your neck, but you willed yourself to keep a level head. You knew how to flirt, had done so with plenty of blokes in your time, but none as handsome and disarming as Charlie.
“I thought so, but evidently the Gods had other ideas.”
You knees nearly buckled. “Like?” You coyly tilted your head, allowing your eyes to trail across his broad shoulders, down his chest. Was this guy seriously flirting with you? You knew you weren’t unattractive, but Charlie was…phew.
“Like…” He flushed a little, betraying his suave demeanor, and your heart slipped a little further into his hands. “Meeting the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.”
“Ever?” You teased, pulling your lower lip between your teeth.
“In this life and probably the next.” He took a sip of his whiskey, letting his eyes wander over you the same way yours did him. And based on the way they darkened, his pupils widening just a fraction, he liked what he saw as much as you did.
“Does that line always work for you?”
“Well, considering I’ve never tried it, why don’t you tell me?”
+ ° . ๑・° ⊹ . + ° . ๑・° ⊹ . + ° . ๑・° ⊹ . +
Charlie slammed the door shut behind you before crowding you against it, his lips colliding with yours. He tasted like whiskey and pumpkin, with a tinge of cigarette smoke that went straight to your head, and you eagerly tangled your tongue with his, pushing his blazer off his shoulders.
“Colloportus,” he murmured against your mouth, and you heard the lock schick into place. He shrugged his blazer off, tossing it somewhere in the dark storage closet, and his hands were on you again, one sliding into your hair, the other on your lower back, drawing you closer.
“Charlie?” You gasped as his lips traveled down your neck, leaving hot, open-mouthed kisses along your skin, his short beard a rough contrast to the suppleness of his kiss.
“Yeah, honey?” he panted, lifting his head to meet your eyes.
“I don’t usually…” you trailed off, nerves suddenly closing your throat.
His hand slid from your hair to cup your cheek, his callouses rough against your heated skin. “Me neither,” he murmured, resting his forehead against yours. “We can do whatever you want, love. I’ll take you to the nicest restaurant in London, or on Dragon-back to the Swiss Alps, or on a cruise ship to the Americas—”
You cut him off with a kiss, throwing your arms around his neck. “And if I want you to fuck me?” you said between pecks, tugging at the roots of his hair.
He smiled and scooped you up by the meat of your thighs, wrapping your legs around his waist so your skirt pushed up over your hips. “Then I’ll fuck you as often as ya’ like.” He turned and dropped you onto some kind of work bench, sending the papers and junk flying with a sweep of his arm.
“The twin’s are going to be pissed,” you giggled, leaning back onto the wood so he could continue his previous assault on your neck.
“Fuck ‘em,” he muttered, nipping at your collarbones. His hands gripped your thighs with dizzying strength, the same hands that handled massive, fire-breathing beasts, and spread you open for his hungry gaze. “Seven fucking hells,” he breathed, running his hands down your inner thighs. “You’re perfect.”
In a swift motion, he ripped your tights at the seam, the sound sending a pulse of arousal to your already dripping pussy, a sharp gasp forcing it’s way from your throat. His fingers glided over your wet panties, so delicate compared to the force he’d used heartbeat before.
Your hips lifted slightly, chasing his gentle touch. You couldn’t remember the last time you’d been this desperate for someone to touch you, your entire body tuned to his every breath, every twitch of his muscles. He looked so fucking good leaning over you, his previously tidy shirt rumpled, his hair in copper waves around his face, his lips a little red from your fevered kisses.
With his ring finger, her drew your panties to the side, his middle fingers gliding through your slit and circling your clit twice. “Already so wet for me, honey. What did I do to deserve such a warm welcome?” he purred, leaning down to press a sweet kiss to your forehead.
Your brain couldn’t formulate a response, his touch mind-numbing. Pleasure radiated form his fingers, syrupy and languid, with none of the frenetic energy from before. A moan slipped past your lips, your eyes fluttering closed as he coaxed your pussy to bloom for him.
“And such pretty sounds.” He rolled up his shirt sleeve with his free hand, exposing the muscles and veins along his thick forearm. Slowly, he slipped his middle finger inside of you, large enough to stretch you slightly.
“Fuck, Charlie,” you whined, raising yourself onto your elbows so you could watch him play with you.
“I suppose I shouldn’t stretch this out too long, someone might come looking for us,” he mused. “But I could spend a fucking eternity spoiling this greedy little pussy.” He slipped another finger into you channel, pumping them a few times just to feel your cunt suck him back in. “Would you like that, love?” He tilted your chin up with his free hand, an unspoken request for an answer.
“Y-yes, Charlie. Please,” you panted, stretching up to steal a quick peck. He deepened the kiss, shifting his weight to press you back down onto the desk as his tongue flirted with yours. His hand picked up the pace, fucking you steadily as he devoured your mouth, teeth skating along your swollen flesh before sucking lightly on your tongue.
You don’t know what God blessed him with such a skilled tongue, but you needed to make an offering in thanks stat.
But since you couldn’t do that…
“Charlie?” You asked, reaching around to touch his wrist between your legs.
He immediately stopped, withdrawing his hand completely. “What’s wrong?” He searched your face for signs of discomfort, his brows drawn together.
You pressed a kiss to his bearded cheek before sliding off the desk. He watched you, confused and concerned, then you lowered yourself to your knees and his jaw went slack.
“Honey, you don’t have to—”
“Please, Charlie?” You batted your lashes up at him, tugging lightly on his belt.
“Merlin’s fucking—I can’t say no to you when you look at me like that, sweetheart.”
“Then don’t,” you teased, undoing his belt and zipper. You could see the outline of his cock against his black boxers, thick and throbbing as you glided your fingers over it.
He sucked in a breath, gripping the edge of the table with one of his hands. Encouraged, you dragged the flat of your tongue over the fabric, feeling the heat of him, the wetness collecting by the swollen head.
“I must have died in the dragon pit and gone to heaven. My god, woman,” he rasped, running his fingers through his hair to keep it from blocking the sight.
You giggled, licking a few more stripes before reaching up to free him. His cock sprung out, veiny and flushed pink. And, to your absolute shock and delight, even his cock was freckled.
“You have the prettiest cock I’ve ever seen,” you praised, and his cheeks flushed pink. You laved your tongue along the thickest vein, earning a throaty groan. You sucked the head into your mouth, lapping up the precum pearling from his slit.
Charlie’s head fell back, one of his hands sliding into your hair. He didn’t add any pressure, just held you as you started to suck him, moving a little further down each time. You wrapped your hand around the base, there was no way you’d fit the entire thing in your mouth, and started pumping him, matching the motions with your mouth. His skin was like velvet, soft and smooth, and you loved feeling him pulse against your tongue with every dip of your head.
“You are too damn good at that. So fucking pretty swallowing my cock.” His thumb stroked your cheek while he gazed down at you, stars in his eyes. “You like sucking me off, honey?”
You nodded as best you could, flicking your tongue at the groove just beneath the head. His hips lurched forward, a grunt escaping through his teeth.
“Fuck, sorry, love. I’m trying to stay still for ya’, but feels so fucking good.”
You reached up and guided his hand into your hair, then used it to push your head down, giving him the best puppy dog eyes you could muster.
He smirked, his hand fisting in your hair. “Whatever you say, gorgeous.” He started moving your head along his shaft, rocking his hips in time with the movements. He went easy at first, but as drool began to track down your chin, your eyes rolling back in bliss, he picked up the pace. But he only fucked your mouth for a few, punishing strokes before lifting you off of him. He slammed his mouth to yours, a harsh, hungry kiss that had you seeing stars.
You whined in protest, but he shushed you by lifting you into the air and setting you on the table once more.
“If you thought I wasn’t going to fuck you, you’re mad,” he gruffed, dragging the hot head of his cock through your pussy lips. “That is, if you still want me to?”
“Yes, fuck, now, Charlie. Please.” You spread your legs a little wider for him,
“Anything for you, love.” He leaned down and kissed you again, sliding his cock into your depths at the same time. The feeling of being filled by him bordered on divine, silken and hot. He was stretching you just enough to leave you with that delicious ache between your legs. You moaned into each other’s mouths, the sounds caught up by his tongue parting your lips and caressing yours.
He drew his hips back, agonizingly slow, letting you feel every inch of one another, before he slammed back in, knocking the air from your lungs. It seemed he was at the end of his control, his grip on your hips bruising as he fucked you hard, jostling the desk beneath you and making the shelves along the walls rock.
“Fuck, Charlie. Feels so good,” you cried, trying and failing to keep yourself quiet as he railed you, every thrust like a lightning strike of pleasure through your body.
“Yeah? You take my cock so well, baby. Wet little pussy squeezing the life outta’ me,” he groaned, his hair tickling your face. “So good f’me, honey. Like you were made for me.”
Your muscles tightened, veering closer and closer to your peak, his praise sending little pulses of bliss your clit.
“You like being praised, baby? Hearing how perfect you are for me? Fuck, I can feel how much you like that, squeezing me so hard.” His hand slipped between you, the rough pads of his fingers rubbing tight circles over you puffy clit. “Come for me, y/n. I know you can. I want to feel you fall apart around me. That’s a good girl—”
Your cry drowned out his praise as your peak crashed over you, visceral and exquisite. The world vanished, blown apart by the burst of starlight in your chest as you came for him. Pulses of pleasure made your body shake and buck, your eyes squeezing shut as he fucked you through it.
“That’s it, honey. Such a good fucking girl. Merlin, you’re gonna make me come.” He rested on his forearms, braced on either side of your head, hitting an entirely new angle as you came back into your body.
“Charlie,” you whimpered, clinging to him. ”I’ve got ya’, love. Don’t worry. Just a little longer—fuck.” A strangled groan broke from his throat and you felt his cock swell, then kick against your walls, the first hot stream of release painting your insides.
He rested his head on your shoulder as he muscles trembled, his hips pressed flush to yours. You wrapped you arms around his shoulders, still weak from that soul-shaking orgasm. His lips passed over your shoulder, your clavicle, up your neck, before finally ghosting of your lips, soft and breathless.
You remained like that for longer than you probably should have, enraptured with one another. You'd been complete strangers a few hours ago, but this wasn't a hook up akin to a one night stand. This was the reunification of two beings, the re-raveling of a soul tie.
“Y/n,” he murmured, kissing your forehead, your temple. “Y/n, y/n, y/n…” He held you like he'd die if he let go.
“Charlie,” you exhaled, nuzzling behind his ear.
“Can I take you to Romania with me?” He whispered, a joke, you presumed, but there was no humor in his voice.
“I've never seen a dragon before—”
The door knob jiggled, and someone pressed against it, the wood groaning.
“Shit.” Charlie jumped backwards, scrambling to right your dress and smooth your hair.
“Hey, Freddie! This doors locked for some reason.”
“Charlie, your dick,” you snickered while he wiped away a smudge of your lipstick.
“Fuck, right.”
“Alohamor—”
“COLLOPORTUS,” Charlie barked out, snatching his wand from his boot.
“Charlie?” George called, knocking on the door.
Charlie tucked you behind him and undid the spell, peeking the door open. “If you say another word, you're dragon food,” he growled, and you had to clap a hand over your mouth to keep from laughing.
“You got a girl in there, mate?” George asked, and you could hear the shit-eating grin on his face.
“George,” Charlie warned.
“Fine, fine. You've got ten minutes before I actually need to get in there.” George knocked once more then strode away, his footsteps disappearing down the hall.
Charlie sagged against the door, exhaling. “I'm sorry, love,” he said, turning to you.
You pecked his cheek. “Don't be sorry, that was the best lay of my life.” You tried to reassure him, despite the curdling sadness in your chest.
A shy smile broke through his serious expression. “Yeah?”
You nodded. “I can only imagine how good it would be when we had all the time in the world,” you murmured against his ear, a shiver rolling down his spine. It was better to leave it like this, flirty, casual, than with whatever…that was.
“I mean, we’ve got ten minutes…”
You patted his chest and slipped out of the door, finding George waiting at the end of the hall, arms crossed.
His jaw dropped. “Y/n!”
Charlie ran out behind you. “I swear to God, George—”
“Are all Weasley's this dramatic?” You closed George's mouth with a finger under his chin.
“Where did—when did—how?” George stuttered, looking back and forth between the two of you.
Charlie smirked, shrugging back on his blazer. “I'll explain when you're older,” Charlie teased. “Would you like a drink, y/n?”
“I'd love one.“ You threaded your arm through his, and together returned to the party.

It Should Have Been You
Imagine: Pearline is Stack’s wife. She finds out the hard way when her husband continues his adulterous behavior.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Pearline Moore ONE-SHOT
Warnings: Smut. Angst, LOTS of dirty talk.
There is a humid, subtropical climate afoot in The South. Everyone takes shelter, and those with homes on raised beams above the waters that flow from the Mississippi River are the more fortunate. The rich, agricultural soil of The Delta is muddy and automobiles have a hard time getting through. A characteristic of alluvial deposition in deep water, where the river actively builds new land through sediments.
Shops close downtown, church’s postponed their congregations, and the plantation fields are overgrown and empty of sharecroppers picking cotton. The heavy showers beat down on rustic, tin roofs and bounced off the edges of iron tubs. Farm life make aggravated noises, stomping and shifting in their designated stalls surrounded by haystacks and various tools.
The weather didn’t keep Pearline Jacqueline Moore away from a local pharmacy owned by a Black Pharmacist named Robert Browning Jr.
Pearline wore her favorite riding boots, a trench coat, and a cloak hat over her moisturized curls with the help of Annie Minerva Turnbo Malone’s Poro Products. Her lush skin glistened from sweat and water as she hurried through downtown from her parked automobile. Pearline shoved past the doors to the pharmacy, the tiny bell above dinging softly, alerting Dr. Browning Jr. as he busied himself within a back room that he used as a storage unit.
She brushed her boots off on a mat as best as she could to keep mud from tracking the floor. Pearline removed her cloak hat, twisting it in her hands nervously, not realizing that she was ringing it out onto the floor. Her riding boots squeaked as she walked further into the pharmacy.
It was a bustling community hub with a strong focus on soda fountains and sundries. While they sold medicines, they also served as social gathering places, particularly during Prohibition, with soda fountains becoming popular. Pharmacists were not just dispensing medications but also providing advice and even counter-prescribing.
Pearline grabbed a basket and loaded it with random items, trying to appear less suspicious on why she was really there. She slipped past a newspaper rack and peeked at the headline on the front in bold, onyx print.
Tumblr media
“Mrs. Moore? What you doing out in this awful weather?”
Pearline snapped her eyes towards the front counter.
Dr. Browning Jr. removed his reading glasses and stood dapper in a brown and beige suit with a maroon bow tie. He got rid of his suit jacket and replaced it with an apron, sleeves rolled up past his elbows revealing skin the color of pepper corn. He had a full goatee with a mustache that curled at the tips, sprinkled with gray hair and the hair on his head was close cut. He was a little over fifty years old and married to a stunning black woman from Alabama.
“Evening, Dr. Browning. My pantry is looking a little low. And I…I need some Arsenic to help with these pests hanging around my garden.”
Dr. Browning Jr. accepted Pearline’s basket and began ringing her up at his cash register. Pearline shifted her weight, anxious eyes looking around as if she were being watched.
“Would you like a vial of the poison or an entire bottle?”
“…I’m sorry?” Pearline inquired, seemingly lost as a nervous smile graced her heart–shaped lips.
“I’d suggest a bottle if the pest problem is serious. It’s quite pricy though, Mrs. Moore.”
“Oh! Oh…I think I should go ahead and buy the bottle. You never know, I may need it again.”
Pearline rushed to open her change purse, digging inside to grab a crisp twenty dollar bill. Dr. Browning Jr disappeared within his supply room for all but two minutes. He returned with a bottle of Arsenic, placing it within a box before gently covering it with a paper bag.
“That’ll be eighteen dollars.”
Pearline’s heart raced.
Pearline shifted her gaze towards the door, making sure no one was behind her.
“Mrs. Moore?—”
“Sorry,” she handed him the twenty dollars, “Keep the change. Thank you, Dr. Browning.”
Pearline accepted her bag, carrying it hugged to her slim–thick frame as she backed away.
“You need some help? I’m surprised Stack let you out in this mess.”
The mention of her husband’s name gave her pause.
It also filled her with rage.
“He’s a busy man, Dr. Browning. You know that. I won’t keep you. Have a good rest of your night.”
“You do the same, Mrs. Moore.”
Tumblr media
Pearline entered her home, quickly shrugging off her coat to hang on a rack and she took a seat on a wine red chesterfield ottoman within the front foyer of her home to remove her boots. The rain had turned to drizzle by the time she returned home. Pearline wore one of many silky slips, a scandalous choice for wear in public, but she was on a mission.
Pearline lived in one of few luxury homes in The Delta with her husband, Elias ‘Stack’ Moore. It was surrounded by rolling hills and they had their own greenhouse where Pearline enjoyed spending time sipping herbal tea and tending to her botanical garden. Stack had it built for her as an anniversary gift because he knew how much it meant to her. Reminding her of days spent with her grandmother. A Botanist and Holistic Nurse.
Pearline entered her kitchen and sat her grocery bag down on her dining table. She scanned the mess she’d created hours before, old photos cut into pieces, scattered along the floor. Her husband’s dress shirt resting over a dining chair with lipstick stains on the collar. A gut wrenching reminder of what Stack had put her through.
Pearline was every man’s dream girl. She’s beautiful, can sing, built like a brick house, and smart. She’d turned down many boys, all except Elias Moore. He was a little older than her by nine years, but when he set his eyes on her, he made it his business to court her. Stack was a man that moved with a carefree personality. He joked and smiled and charmed everyone in his path. Deep dimples and a smooth tongue.
The opposite of his stoic, quiet, observant brother. Elijah ‘Smoke’ Moore was known for bringing the smoke; the smoldering heat. You didn’t want to get to close for comfort and cross him. Smoke had no problems laying you out with a gun or his fists. You’d think he was made of railroad steel and cast iron.
Pearline was drawn to Stack’s playful energy and the amount of passion and chemistry they shared was like no other. Pearline didn’t care that she was falling head over T-straps for a criminal, Stack made her feel special. He bought her the lifestyle she’d always dreamed of. That made women envious, especially when he married her before leaving to Chicago. They had a beautiful barn wedding where all of The Delta attended.
But, Pearline had to learn the hard way that her husband was a rolling stone. He couldn’t keep his married dick to himself. Whispers of women he bedded while vowed to Pearline sparked heated arguments and lies that rolled off his slick tongue and past his plump lips. One woman living in Little Rock, Arkansas had him by the balls.
Mary.
And her lipstick is what stained her husband’s shirt.
Pearline grew tired of crying. Tired of sleepless nights and waiting for him to return home. Tired of the manipulation and the constant drama filtering back to her. Her so–called girlfriend’s side eyed her. Her mother chastised her for being weak and not going after her man like a proper wife should.
She thought about what it would be like to make him hurt. There was no man in town that she could even think to fuck as a get back. Elias ‘Stack’ Moore and his twin are practically gods within The Delta. Sleeping with some random man would only make her look like the fool. She wanted to kick him off his high horse. And her anger drove her to buy some poison.
And bake it into a chocolate pie.
It’s a luscious chocolate custard resting on a flaky, almost salty crust, topped with a springy meringue. For Pearline, it’s la pièce de résistance and whether times are good or times are bad, it’s always welcome and appropriate.
Stack loved her chocolate pie. She made it for him once a week. If she didn’t stop him, he’d sit and eat the entire thing for himself. At first, she thought to poison his moonshine, but that would only contaminate the entire batch since he prepared it in barrels with Smoke.
Pearline put away her groceries and then she grabbed the poison, setting to work on the chocolate pie.
Ingredients for the pie:
4 tablespoons cocoa or 1 1/2 squares baking chocolate
3/4 cups sugar
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 egg yolks, lightly beaten
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon of butter
Ingredients for the meringue:
2 egg whites
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
4 tablespoons sugar
And a splash—maybe a cup of Arsenic.
As she moved about the kitchen, the smell of rain and grass brought in by the humid wind through her open kitchen windows, an apron secure around her petite waist, Pearline hummed to calm her nerves down and stop herself from crying.
She hummed a song she’d written.
Poison was seen as a discreet way to eliminate someone, with arsenic being a particularly popular choice due to its tastelessness and ability to mimic natural illness.
No one would be able to suspect. It could be something as simple as bad moonshine.
And Stack drank a lot of it. He was well on his way to becoming the next Delta Slim.
Smoke couldn’t stop his brother, that would make him a hypocrite. He had his own addiction to smoking.
Flour painted her cheek and chocolate splattered her apron. Pearline wiped sweat from her forehead as she stared down at the pie. She placed it on a towel before washing her hands to prepare dinner.
She couldn’t believe she was going to kill her husband.
Tumblr media
Pearline dressed in a gold silk burlesque flapper cocoon dress with batwing sleeves and a deep plunge in the front. It glided across her skin and molded into the shape of her frame as she walked, the long train dragging along behind her elegantly. Her curly hair was styled in an updo with tendrils framing her oval face. She plucked away unruly hairs from her thick brows to keep them neat and smoothed coca lip balm on her lips.
Chandelier earrings in, skin the color of espresso, she heard the front door open from her place at her vanity. She listened, making out distant laughter and the familiar sound of her husband’s voice. He wasn’t alone. Pearline took meditating breaths to calm herself. She’d already done the deed. It was only a matter of time before he cut himself a slice.
Revenge. Sweet revenge. A desire for freedom. Divorce wasn’t even an option. She wouldn’t get a penny. He needed to die and she would collect all his money and move up north. Maybe New York. Sing in the Cotton Club. Make a new life for herself.
Pearline spritzed perfume on her skin, activating the squeeze bulb, opening with dewy gardenia, its floral heart blooming with African neroli before settling into the intoxicating depth of a merlot wine accord. The essence of magnetic beauty and luminous grace.
One final look at her reflection, Pearline made her way down to the kitchen. In the living room, helping themselves to bourbon from a drink cart, were Smoke and Stack. Stack poured from a decanter, filling Smoke’s glass tumbler full. He did the same for himself. They whispered, smoke puffing on a cigarette as he nodded his head in response to Stack’s scheming words.
Smoke drew his eyes towards the stairs, eyes that took in the sight of Pearline. She looked down at him, meeting his intense gaze, looking away to focus on her husband who not once stopped to acknowledge her. It took for Smoke to nudge his little brother for Stack to finally pay attention.
That cut deep. Pearline flicked her gaze away to her feet covered in kitten heels. She released a shutter.
“Baby…”
Stack left Smoke’s side to approach Pearline. She gave him a practiced smile before opening her arms to hug him. Stack buried his face against her neck, inhaling her perfume while his hands rubbed and groped her.
“Mmm, you smelling good. Looking good too,” Stack leaned back to admire her, “Beautiful, baby,” Stack kissed her hands, “I missed ya’.”
“Missed you,” Pearline bat her lashes at him and tucked her chin with a coy smile, “You hungry?”
“I sure am. Is it aight if Smoke stay for dinner?”
Pearline drew her attention to Smoke. He perched himself against the fire place, lighting the end of his cigarette, orange flame vibrant. He looked at her with this expression that Pearline couldn’t quite understand. He was always unreadable.
“Only if it’s okay with you, sis–in–law,” Smoke spoke with a rasp.
“Of course.”
Pearline hadn’t expected an extra guest. Now, she had to figure out how to get the pie out of the way. Smoke could sense things. He’s observant. He can probably tell Pearline was being sneaky and devious. Seeing as he possesses those exact qualities. She inwardly panicked, wanting to escape from Stack’s hold to dump the pie in the garbage.
“Saw that chocolate pie in there, was about to dip my finger in it but Smoke stopped me before I could…”
Sweat trickled down her temple. She looked between both twins, smiling as best as she could and laughing in a flirty way she’d always had. Stack kissed Pearline’s lips, humming softly as he smiled.
“I got the finest woman in all the fuckin’ world.” He boisterously said, flashing his golds, “Let’s go eat us some food!”
“I’ll set the table, ya’ll go on and drink. I’ll call to supper when it’s ready…”
Pearline turned to walk away, hips switching. She couldn’t control the fact that she had a dump truck. Stack popped her on the underside of her behind, the motion causing her deep brown cakes to jiggle around. Her breath hitched and she swatted Stack’s hand away with a roll of her eyes.
She gave Smoke a sideways glance, heat rising over her face as he watched the two of them.
Pearline entered the kitchen and practically sprinted over to the pie. She exhaled with relief, glad to find it untouched. Pearline lifted the pie and hesitantly tossed it into the trash. She paced for a minute, trying her best to come up with a lie.
She choked on her words slightly as she spoke.
“I–I gotta make a new pie!”
Stack entered the kitchen with his brows pinched together.
“What? Why?”
He searched the kitchen for the pie before walking over to the trash. He lifted the lid, peering inside. The pie was on its side and sliding out of the dish.
“It–uh–it was covered in flies. I saw a couple flies on it.”
Her eyes fell on the open window.
“Must of gotten in through the window,” Pearline released a nervous laugh, “No worries, Stack, won’t take me long.”
“Damn…”
Smoke leaned against the entryway to the kitchen. He removed the cigarette from between his lips, eyes dancing back and forth between Pearline and Stack. His eyes fell to the cupboard beneath the sink, squinting slightly.
“I was looking forward to it, Pearlie. You sure you wanna make another?” Stack asked with a disappointed look.
“Won’t take me long. Promise.”
Stack sucked his teeth.
“Aight, baby…me and Smoke gone be in there listening to some tunes while we talk business. Holla when you finished.”
Stack pecked Pearline on the cheek before leaving the kitchen.
Smoke lingered.
“Errythang aight, Pearlie?” Smoke asked with a hushed tone.
“Yes. Why you askin’?” Pearline replied, eyes darting away from his.
Smoke’s eyes roamed the kitchen before focusing back on Pearline with a penetrating stare, “Listen, Stack—”
“Don’t.”
Pearline held up a shaky finger. She shut her eyes to hold back tears.
“Smoke!”
“Be there a minute, nigga. Be patient!” Smoke shouted back.
He gave Pearline one final look before leaving her alone.
She should have never thrown that pie away.
Hearing his laughter enraged her.
Knowing that he was fucking his octoroon whore inflated her anger.
What the fuck that bitch got on Pearline? What she got over her?
Privilege
Freedom
Fare skin
Loose hair
The beauty standard of America
And Stack craved it. Even though he’d fucked around with other black women, the minute Mary crossed paths with him after she returned to The Delta to bury her mom, Stack wanted that old thing back.
Pearline baked a new pie, silently crying.
But the chaos in the kitchen with her constant stomping and slamming of things had Stack’s attention.
Pearline set the table, almost breaking their fine China.
Stack took longs strides, oxfords loud as he walked.
“The fuck goin’ on, Pearlie?”
He snatched his toothpick from his mouth, glaring at her.
“Diner’s ready!”
Pearline snatched her apron off and tossed it onto the counter aggressively. Smoke trailed in behind his brother, eyes wide and unblinking. He tracked Pearline’s footsteps, jaw clenching.
“I can see the table is set,” Stack swept his concerned eyes over the plates of food, “But why you slamming shit? Got something you wanna say?”
Pearline whirled around, a look of surprise and confusion etched into her pretty face.
“ME?” She inquired with a loud tone.
“Yeah, YOU.”
“Wow…After all the shit you been putting me through. And you askin’ ME if I got something to say?!”
Smoke raised his hands to diffuse the situation.
“Let’s just eat now, aight? Save this shit for later.”
Pearline pinched the bridge of her nose. Stack sat down at the dining table. Pearline almost shivered when Smoke lightly grasped her arm to get her attention. She held his gaze, fighting hard not to break down.
“Come eat, Pearlie…”
“I’m not hungry.”
Stack’s fork and knife clattered to the table. He chewed the rest of his smothered pork chop down before turned his attention to his wife.
“Whatever it is, just say it, woman. I ain’t been messin’ around!”
“Yes you HAVEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!”
Smoke and Stack stared at her.
“Liar…fucking lying ass…piece of shit…”
Pearline opened her pantry and snatched up the shirt with lipstick stains. She marched over, balled it up, and threw it at Stack. He caught it, opening the shirt and when he noticed the lipstick stains, he froze.
“CARE TO TELL ME WHY THE FUCK YOU GOT LIPSTICK ON YOUR SHIRT?! A SHIRT I DISCOVERED WHILE TAKING IN DRY CLEANING?! A SHIRT YOU TRIED TO HIDE FROM ME?! YOU CHEATING BASTARD!”
Smoke fought to keep Pearline back. Stack stared off into space, no words, no more lies. What could he say to get himself out of this?
Pearline shouted between cries of heartbreak, “HOW COULD YOU? AFTER EVERYTHING? WHY DO YOU KEEP GOING BACK TO HER?! WHY, STACK?!”
Pearline snatched a butcher knife from the counter and launched it at Stack. He quickly pushed away from the table, the knife whizzing past his cheek and lodging in the wall. His chest rose and feel with rapid breaths. Smoke grabbed her up by her upper arms to keep her still.
“You crazy?! Tryna kill me?! That shit could’ve been in my head!!!!” Stack yelled, spit flying.
“PEARLIE! ENOUGH!” Smoke boomed.
“Get off me, Smoke!”
“You throwing knives, the hell, Pearlie?!” Smoke shook her to stop her from writhing.
“LET GO OF ME!”
Pearline slapped Smoke. Slapped him across his handsome face. He clutched his cheek that stung from her strikes.
“STOP PROTECTING HIM! HE’S A GROWN ASS MAN! YOU KNOW WHAT HE DOES AND YOU JUST LET HIM DO IT! FUCK YOU. BOTH OF YOU!”
Stack stood, tossing the shirt over his unfinished meal. He was ashamed to even look her in the eye.
“BE A MAN AND FACE ME, ELIAS! OWN IT!” Pearline laid into him with venom, “DO YOU LOVE HER?!”
“Pearlie—”
Pearline grabbed the chocolate pie and catapulted it, watching it hit Stack in the chest. He rocked back on his heels, arms outstretched, his eyes bugged out and his lips curled into a menacing pout.
“ANSWER ME, DAMMIT!!!!!!”
Pearline tried to catch her breath. Stack looked at her with wavering eyes. He titled his head down at his oxfords.
“I…Pearline…”
She gasped.
“You do…”
Smoke shut his eyes.
Stack gave her a cowardly look.
“You can’t even be a man and say it. You’re such a coward, Elias. Why did you marry me? To trap me? To have a notch on your belt? Afraid I’d find a man that really loves me? Your cracker slut is married to a cracker man In Arkansas and yet you can’t stay away from her and be loyal to me?”
Pearline clutched her chest as if she were going into cardiac distress.
“Am I not beautiful? What did I do to deserve this—”
“I have urges, baby. I’m sorry—I know it ain’t the apology ya’ want, but I…can’t control myself. I hate that I keep hurting ya’.”
“No,” Pearline shook her head as tears fell, “you ain’t sorry. You sorry you got caught.”
Pearline folded her arms over her chest. She exhaled, wiping tears away with her fingers.
She sniffled, “And the sad part is…I love you.”
She locked eyes with him. Smoke didn’t pull his attention away from her face for a second.
The grandfather clock on the wall within the living room ticked and ticked.
“I want both of ya’ll to leave.”
“Pearlie—”
“Fuck you, Elias. You don’t get to be sweet and charming. I want you to leave. NOW. Before I grab that knife from the wall, and cut your fucking dick off and feed it to you instead of this food I made!!!!!!”
Stack’s mouth was agape.
Smoke stepped aside.
Pearline made as if she were going to leave but instead she jumped on Stack, beating her fists on his back. Stack tried to grab her arms while shielding himself from being struck in the face.
“PEARLINE!”
Smoke picked her up and sat her on the counter.
“Get your shit, Stack. GO. We leaving.” Smoke ordered.
“Let her blow steam. I deserve it.” Stack said.
“Oh, so now you want her to kick your ass? She wanna kill you, nigga! Unless you wanna be scraps for pigs, I suggest you get your shit and leave!”
Stack looked from the dining table, to his wife, parting his lips to speak. Instead, he walked away, climbing the stairs to pack a luggage.
Smoke looked at Pearline, “If I let you go. Will you stay here while he gettin’ his shit?”
Pearline nodded her head slow.
Smoke released her arms and stepped back. He lit a cigarette and didn’t take his eyes off of Pearline.
“I’m real sorry, Pearlie. I know that don’t mean shit to you comin’ from me…but you don’t deserve this shit. You too good of a woman. Always been. I tried to get him to come home to you…I did…he can’t control himself with that bitch and…I hate to see ya’ hurting.”
“Smoke,” Pearline was exhausted, “You could have told me. You could have come to me. I need to be alone. Just leave. Please leave.”
She hung her head and started bawling. Her cries broke Smoke. Deep, sorrowful, body shaking. Her tears leaked to her dress. Smoke wanted to comfort her. He tried to touch her and Pearline flinched.
Stack’s footsteps caused Smoke to back off. He locked eyes with his little brother, glaring at him. Stack turned away, luggage in his hands.
Smoke allowed his eyes to sweep over her. He didn’t care if she fought him off. He didn’t care if she slapped him.
Smoke positioned himself in front of her, grabbed her face, and planted a kiss to her forehead.
That made her cry harder.
Tumblr media
Word spread like famine.
And Pearline refused to feed into the nosy crowd.
She walked around town with her head held high and hips swaying seductively. No matter how hurt she felt, she looked ravishing.
Pearline entered The Chow’s negro store, picking up oranges and lemons, checking to see if they were a good batch before buying them. Bo Chow walked out from a room with a notepad and a pen behind his ear. Little Lisa took care of the line. Pearline helped herself to a jar of strawberry jam.
“Mrs. Moore! You’s doing alright?”
Bo pulled Pearline into a hug.
“I’m doing fine, Bo. Hello Lisa,” Pearline waved to her, “Grace good?”
“Is! She’s expecting.” Bo said with a side smile, glossy black hair falling over his forehead handsomely.
“Oh! My! Congratulations, Bo!”
Pearline beamed.
“I’m hoping for a boy this time.” Bo said.
“Just be glad for a healthy bundle of joy.” Pearline said.
She stood in line behind four people until it was her time to be helped. After paying for her items, she waved goodbye to Bo and Lisa before leaving the store.
The rain had finally stopped and in its place was that humid, Mississippi air. The sun shone down brightly, heating Pearline’s skin. She found her car and got in, heading back home.
Driving back, Pearline pulled up to her home, finding a truck she recognized immediately. Pearline stared at the truck, eyes fluttering with resentment. It’s been damn near two weeks.
Pearline couldn’t deny that she missed her husband, but at the price of her own happiness? Why should she have to put up with his constant disregard for her feelings?
It won’t last, Mary is just a phase.
She hated that she had that voice in her head.
After another minute, Pearline exited her car and with her groceries she walked up to her home. Pearline didn’t pay the truck any mind, expecting Stack to shout her name from the window and beg for forgiveness.
Instead, she caught a whiff of tobacco.
Pearline turned, eyes falling on Elijah ‘Smoke’ Moore with his back against the truck. He stomped out his cigarette. He clasped his hands in front of him and over his crotch. He stared at her beyond the brim of his blue hat. Smoke pushed off his truck, one hand clutching onto the opening of his tweed suit jacket as he approached her with methodical eyes and careful steps.
A breeze picked up, ruffling the bottom of her fitted, purple, floral–printed lapel dress. She wore white T–straps on her feet, and a hat with lace gloves to match the colors in her dress. Pearls decorated her ears.
“How you be?” Smoke finally spoke.
“…I’m okay.”
Smoke stood at the bottom of the steps, staring up at Pearline.
“Stack stayin’ wit me. He not there right now.” Smoke revealed.
Pearline tilted her head, eyes searching for the inevitable truth, “He’s with her?”
Smoke rubbed his hands together, eyes roaming the ground.
“She came knockin’. He answered.”
Pearline stood still and watched Smoke.
“Say sum’, Pearlie.”
Pearline exhaled.
“I want a divorce.”
Smoke frowned slightly.
“I’m tired, Smoke. I deserve better.”
Pearline turned away from Smoke to open her door. She sat her groceries down at her feet. Smoke climbed the steps, picking up the bag. Pearline didn’t say a word. The door swung open and Smoke followed her inside. He walked past the front foyer and disappeared into the kitchen.
Pearline sat her purse down and removed her gloves and hat.
She walked into her kitchen and her footsteps slowed down when she caught Smoke putting away her food.
“Smoke, I can handle it.”
“No, no, no, now…you have a seat.”
Smoke pointed to a dining chair. Pearline took a seat, crossing her ankles modestly and folded her hands within her lap all ladylike. Her back was straight, body screaming confidently, but her eyes told a different tale. She was sad. Lonely. Torn.
Smoke opened her icebox to pour her a glass of lemonade. He then grabbed a napkin, walking over to her and placing it on the table. He removed his hat and sat it on the table. Pearline didn’t say a word as she grabbed the glass, helping herself.
“Why you come checkin’ up on me?”
Pearline searched Smoke’s eyes.
“…Because ya’ mean a lot to me.” Smoke replied.
Pearline scuffed, “Sure I do, Smoke. Poor old Pearline.”
Pearline stood, smoothing out her dress as she walked towards her pantry, grabbing a bottle of wine.
“I need something stronger…”
She drank from the bottle. Smoke watched her with a single brow raised. They sat in silence, Smoke with a cigarette and Pearline with her almost empty bottle of wine. She grew warm and relaxed, tipsy and just as sad and angry as before.
“I wonder if Stack thought of her every time he made love to me…”
He blew smoke from his nose.
“Don’t wonder. Stop thinking about it.”
Pearline rolled her eyes at Smoke.
“Serious…”
Pearline sucked on her bottom lip to stop it from quivering.
“Smoke, am I not good enough? I’ve done things for this man…to please him…make him happy.”
Smoke glanced at her sideways while reclined back in the dining chair, legs wide.
“What things?”
Pearline laughed bitterly, “Doesn’t matter. And it’s personal.”
“You said the shit.” Smoke replied defensively.
“I’m just talkin’. Okay? Venting.”
“And I’m here to listen. Aight?”
Pearline stared at him intently.
“…sexual things…”
Smoke hummed, “Okay…” He made a gesture for her to proceed, “And?”
“…Settled here for seven years. Dealt with all the bullshit. Rubbed his feet and massaged his shoulders. Put my dreams aside to help him fulfill his. Gave him every hole to use…”
Smoke twisted his lips as he listened.
“I thought it made him happy. I guess not.”
Smoke studies his cigarette, the wheels in his head turning.
He licked his lips, “Can I tell ya’ a secret?”
Pearline looked at Smoke curiously.
“You? Opening up?” Pearline teased.
“It’s about you. So I don’t see why not.”
Pearline shifted to face him, hip jutted out enticingly. She propped her elbow onto the table, resting her chin against her palm.
“Well?” She uttered.
“I ain’t want Stack to marry you.”
A pregnant pause.
“…what? Smoke? You serious?”
Pearline didn’t know how to interpret what Smoke revealed. She drew her thick brows together, intrigued by what he said. And the feeling of butterflies.
“Why the hell not?” Pearline questioned.
Smoke struggled to answer her question. He puffed on his cigarette, smoke billowing from between his thick lips. His hand shook slightly until he flexed his chest to gain control of his muscles. He finally met her gaze, never looking away as he parted his lips to speak.
“Cause you should’ve been mine.”
Pearline was paralyzed with shock. She couldn’t believe Elijah’s words. All this time? He’d wanted her too? No way.
“Smoke–Smoke I–I–you’ve always felt like this?”
Smoke gave her a sideways look with unwavering eyes.
“I have. Still do.”
Pearline almost dropped her wine bottle.
She shot up from her seat.
“Go, Smoke.”
Smoke rose to his feet.
“You don’t feel the same?”
Pearline couldn’t believe his words.
“NO!” She shouted with a disbelieving expression.
“I don’t believe ya’, Pearlie. The way ya’ look at me…the way ya’ always looked at me.”
“Stop…”
Pearline brushed past Smoke, climbing the stairs to her room. Her vision blurred with tears. She could hear his footsteps behind her.
“Pearlie…”
Smoke moved around her swiftly, blocking her path.
“I love you—”
“HOW DARE YOU?!”
Pearline shoved at his chest, no use because he was too solid and strong to move. Smoke watched her fire herself out before locking her wrists in his firm grip. He leaned in, eyes boring into hers like he was staring into her soul.
“Go on and beat away, Pearlie. I mean what I say. I’m in love wit’ ya. And you deserve to be happy. I care about my brother, but I ain’t gonna keep fighting this feeling. And ain’t no way I’m a let you sit up here thinkin’ you ain’t the prize.”
Pearline blinked up at Smoke. He stroked her cheek with his thumb. Softly. Delicately. Reassuringly.
“…You bastard. How dare you take advantage?”
Smoke cocked his head.
“I’m pouring my heart out, and you say that?”
Pearline slaps Smoke. Hard.
“GET. OUT.”
Smoke growled, top lip snarled.
“You gon’ stop hitting me.” He warned.
“You deserve it.” She sassed.
Smoke toward over Pearline. She jumped slightly.
“So, you don’t feel the same?” Smoke’s husky voice challenged her.
“No.” Pearline replied, looking down his body with a slow sigh.
Smoke stood firm. Pearline peered up at him.
“…I’ll leave. But I’m still keepin’ my eye on you.”
Smoke gave her a once over before making his way down the stairs. Pearline’s chest heaved up and down with a shaky exhale.
Some nights later, Pearline got dressed to perform a new song she’d written titled Pale Pale Moon. She spent majority of the day emptying the closets and drawers of Stack’s things, part of her wanting to burn them but deciding it wasn’t worth it. Instead, drove down to a local thrift store and dropped the bags off without a backward glance.
He’d taken the things that meant more to him. His money. His jewelry. Leaving behind the one person he vowed never to leave. She’d done enough crying herself to sleep. And yet she couldn’t get Smoke out of her head. His confession.
Pearline deep down admired Smoke beyond him being her brother–in–law. She’d always known him to respect women and he always treated Pearline kindly. He would listen to her speak about things he didn’t understand, like how to grow certain flowers. He always took up for her, checked in on her, and stared at her with What Pearline now understood as deep affection.
She was seen with Smoke.
That’s all she ever wanted.
“Stop talking to her like that, Stack for I beat ya’ ass.”
“You ever need anything, don’t hesitate to ask, Pearlie.”
“You just as important to me, Pearlie.”
Everything he’d ever said to her. Every hug, every smile, every look. All of it was much more. Much deeper.
Tumblr media
Messenger’s gave her a standing ovation.
Delta Slim and his band played to the words of Pale Pale Moon.
Pearline felt alive. Her lush skin so smooth like the sultry blues music.
She needed a distraction from Smoke.
But his words the other day…
He told her that he was in love with her. Told her to her face and with no shame.
Pearline was dropped off by a friend to her home since she’d been drinking. She waved goodbye before entering, shutting and locking the door behind her. Pearline braced herself against the wall, removing her shoes. She walked the length of her front foyer and the sound of a lighter flickering caused her to grab a vase, ready to lunge it at whoever broke into her home.
Vase raised above her head, she turned the corner.
“Who’s there—”
Standing tall and wearing a soft blue shirt rolled up his arms and black slacks, was Smoke.
“You broke into my house?”
Smoke dug into his pocket, swinging a key ring in front of her face.
“Put that shit down before you break it.” Smoke ordered.
“Why should I? You show up unannounced.”
Smoke took it upon himself to take it from her. Pearline didn’t fuss. Smoke placed it back where she’d gotten it from.
“You performed at Messenger’s?”
Pearline’s eyes swept over his body. She drew her shoulders back, strutting past him, removing the silk scarf draped over the front of her neck and down her back. Smoke caught it before it hit the floor. He folded it neatly and placed it on the coffee table, patting it with his fingertips. Pearline gazed at him.
“You look lovely, Pearlie.”
“What do you want, Smoke?” Pearline asked with an exasperated look.
“The truth.”
“It’s late. You can see yourself out…”
Pearline crossed her arms and poked her hip out.
Smoke motioned towards the kitchen with his head, “What that arsenic for?”
Pearline’s arms dropped.
“Mhm,” He puffed on his cigarette, “You tried to poison my brother with that pie.”
Pearline exhaled, “I did. No use in lying. Maybe you shouldn’t have stopped him from sampling it.” Pearline replied with her voice laced with unshed tears, “Don’t matter, I ain’t gonna poison him.”
“Cause of me.”
“So? I chickened out, Smoke.”
“Why you keeping it?” Smoke probed with narrow eyes.
“Doesn’t matter.”
“Pearlie…” Smoke clenched his jaw, “I care about ya’…And I need to know if ya’ feeling the same.”
Pearline bounced her foot.
“You won’t stop unless I tell you…”
Pearline locked eyes with Smoke.
“Smoke..I…I should have picked you. Then I know I’d be treated better.”
A single tear fell.
“You can still chose me—”
“It’s too late for that. Won’t do us any favors acting on those feelings, now would it?”
Smoke disagreed.
“It’ll do us more than just a favor, baby…”
Pearline nibbled on her bottom lip.
Smoke strolled up on Pearline. Her breath hitched, eyes closing when his body pressed against hers. He placed a hand on the nape of her neck, tilting her head. Smoke leaned in, closing the distance between them. Pearline parted her lips ever so slightly, giving Smoke and entry. His fluffy lips touched hers with uncertainty. Pearline snaked her hands up his chest and secured her arms around his shoulders.
Smoke intensified the kiss. Soft pecks turned into open–mouthed movements. Pearline’s skin tingled with desire. Smoke’s chest bloomed with passion. He’d longed to taste her. He regretted not making a move on Pearline when he should have. His little brother had always been the smooth talker, the lady magnet.
The sound of lips smacking and soft breaths.
The feel of his rough hands gliding over her hips to grab ass.
Pearline pulling him in closer with her hands clutching onto his shirt.
They kissed their way towards the stairs. Smoke broke away from her lips to pick Pearline up. She wrapped her legs around him, diving in for more. Their tongues battled for dominance as Smoke climbed up the stairs. They stumbled, knocked against walls, and snatched off each other’s clothes all the way to her room.
“I need you,” Pearline whispered longingly.
“I’m here…I’m right here…”
Pearline wiggled out of Smoke’s arms and she dropped to her knees in a flash. He snatched off his shirt and watched her pull his belt from the loops. She tossed it to the floor and with her eyes on his, Pearline opened his zipper and unbuttoned his pants.
“Let me pleasure you, Elijah.”
“Go on, bring him out.” Smoke commanded.
Pearline did just that. She hummed sensuously. It was heavy in her hand and warm to the touch. She jerked him a little, watching the way he licked his lips down at her. Pearline wrapped her lips around his head and started sucking with no hands.
“Ahhh, fuck…”
Pearline gathered spit on her tongue as she sucked. Smoke watched like he was staring down at a circus act. Pearline was doing tricks he ain’t never experienced in his thirty plus years on earth. She made spit bubbles and slurped it back up. Her tongue curled around his shaft like a slick tentacle. She would pop her lips off and spit on it. Over and over. Getting down right disgusting like some street walker.
“This how you do it, Pearlie? FUCK.”
She attacked his balls with gusto. Moaning and whimpering with a mouth full of his nuts and big dick. Smoke couldn’t believe his eyes. He guessed the saying pretty girls love sucking dick that his little brother always said was true. He had a woman at home that did it like this? Ain’t no other woman come close to Pearline.
“Pearlie…don’t stop…”
She inhaled his dick and stroked him with two hands. Bawdy blues and all. Smoke weaved his fingers through her soft curls and controlled her movements. He fed her mouth some dick since she worked so hard to make him cum. His eyes turned puppyish and he dragged his bottom lip between his teeth.,
“I’m a cum so fucking hard!”
Pearline did a disappearing act with his dick. Smoke almost saw heaven. He grunted deep with his release. Not a single drop wasted.
He stared at her as she licked him clean. He backed away, slapping his tip on her wet tongue.
“So nasty wit’ it. You suck me like I’m ya’ man.”
“I’m passionate about giving, Smoke. It’s my favorite job,” Pearline licked her lips, eyes staring at his dick like it was made of the purest gold, “Especially when it’s nice and big like this. One thing about me,” Pearline stroked him and tongue kissed his tip between words, “I was known for being the best dick sucker. I’m not ashamed to admit…when you’re good at something,” Pearline ran her tongue from base to tip, “you keep going…and going…”
“Dayum…”
She was sucking on him again. Smoke stroked her face, caressed her hair, told her how pretty she looked, and moaned her name.
“You nice and thick in my mouth again, Elijah. Wanna give me what I’m workin’ so hard for?” She teased.
“Pearline! Ahhhh…”
She gulped his cum down again, giggling at his face.
“Get up.”
Smoke didn’t wait for Pearline to do it, he picked her up himself. Smoke spun her around and let his hands explore her naked body. Toned and thick at the same time. He watched her ass recoil beneath his palm, chocolate ass bouncing like jello.
“All this body…I’d handle ya’ ass erryday.” Smoke talked slickly.
“How would you handle me, Papa?”
That papa drove him crazy.
“I’d bend ya’ over…stick my tongue in ya’ pucker and ya’ cat…make ya’ suck my dick outta my sleep…after a hard day,” Smoke whacked her on the butt, “Then I’d make nasty, messy, love to ya’ baby…all over this fuckin’ house…”
Smoke picked Pearline up and placed her on the bed. She crawled away from him and he followed like a predator to his prey, nibbling on her flesh with his teeth, licking the soles of her feet. She got on all fours and dipped her back like a feline. Smoke put his face in it, suffocating himself on purpose. Pearline moved her hips, riding his face.
“Smoke…” she moaned, “Just like that…eat Stack’s pussy…”
“This ain’t his no more…”
Pearline whimpered.
“It’s yours?”
“All mines, baby. All this twangy pussy…”
“Shiiittttt…”
Smoke resurfaced, growling. He put his face in it again and growled some more. Pearline arched her back and cried out when Smoke jabbed her entrance with a pointed tongue.
“I can’t see you…I need to see how you doin’ that, Papa…”
Smoke couldn’t agree more. He flipped Pearline over and she opened up so wide her hips ached.
“Can’t get no wider than that, baby…so eager…”
“Feast on me, Papa…let me watch…” Pearline begged.
Jagged, labored, and sharp breaths escaped her mouth. Smoke’s handsome face and those juicy lips munched on Pearline’s pussy with gluttony, exactly what she wanted to see from her position on her back. His eyes are low like he was high off of her tangy taste and his lips and tongue moved in sync with each other. Pearline tightened her vaginal muscles around his fingers that were seated deep in her pussy and just like that, she leaked on his tongue. As long as his tongue, lips, and fingers stay on her she’ll give him what he wanted.
“Your pussy is so pretty and tight, baby…” Smoke takes two fingers to gently stroke her cum covered inner lips with an enthralling and spellbinding expression on his face, bottom lip all pouty, and golds on display, “I’ll take care of ya’ Pearlie…anything ya’ need…ya’ pussy ate up…fucked real good…spoiled…loved on the proper way…I’m there…”
Pearline held her legs up like Smoke instructed. She begged for him to eat her pussy. Smoke wanted to taste that twat, taste the mixture of salty sweetness. The way Pearline moved like a feline on stage, captivating the audience, hips gyrating and ass moving in a slow motion, smoke wanted to dig his tongue in it and sample it. He wanted her to do all that on his tongue and his dick.
“I think these inches about right for ya’, huh?” His onyx eyes flicker up to gaze at her. The way his irises looked, she can feel his eagerness to fuck the shit out of her instantaneously. No words needed, just his eyes doing the talking. Pearline nodded her head slowly before chewing on her bottom lip. 
“Smoke,” Pearline started pushing her pussy against his tongue, humping as Smoke wiggled it and sucked away, “Fuck! Fuckfuckfuck!”
Her musk crowded his nose and grew stronger the more she creamed.
“That’s right…feed me this good pussy…”
“As tasty as you are…mmm,” Smoke showed her just how delicious she is, “Don’t you worry, Pearlie, I’ll give you what you deserve…”
“I…I–I deserve it…” Pearline struggled to form words between moans.
She stilled her hips so he could suck her up. Pearline gasped, hands shaking and unsure if she wanted to grab his head or the sheets.
“Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh—”
Smoke’s rattling breaths fanned her pussy. He licked his lips and stared at the beautiful flower before his eyes with an intoxicating gaze. He covered her inner thighs with soft kisses, listening to her calm breaths. He stared up the valley of her glistening body.
“I need you on top, Pearlie…”
Smoke gets up to sit on the end of the bed, helping Pearline climb on top of him. His large hand is on the back of her head, pushing her face towards his so he could make her taste his lips. Smoke smirked as he kissed her, slipping his skillful tongue into her mouth so she could taste that sweet pussy all over his taste buds. All you could hear was the slurping of lips and heavy breathing.
Pearline fumbled with his pants, his lips fighting to keep kissing her and each time she pulled on the fabric his fat dick would jump and brush against her pussy lips. Finally, skin-to-skin contact. Smoke’s muscular thighs, heavy balls, and that thick dick. Pearline didn’t even wait, as soon as his pants were pushed past his dick she squatted over him while his toned hips pushes his dick up to meet her.
“Elijah…” Pearline grabbed onto his shoulders.
All she can feel is solid, throbbing, long girth entering her from beneath. Her inner lips all the way to her clit pulsates with need. Smoke continued to pump her pussy at a slow pace with his hand reaching up to grip her throat. Pearline’s eyes are focused between her legs and she watched with awe at the seductive motion of his hips burying his dick deeper and deeper...his abdominal muscles crunched and the more noise her pussy made, Smoke’s thrust deepened.
She was staring back and forth from his dick to his face with a delusional expression—still in disbelief about how much dick this man possesses. Identical to his brother. Pearline is still in shock that she was fucking her brother–in–law. She let out a gasp and her head goes back so far Smoke had to cradle it. The closer Smoke pulls her body towards him, her erect nipples brush his lips. He opens his mouth wide, his long, thick tongue showing both stiff peaks some attention before gently sucking it.
He had her slim waist in a firm position as he rocked her up and down his dick. It was a sensual dance.
“Why you fuckin’ me like you love me?” Pearline whispered.
“Cause I do love ya’…”
“We shouldn’t be doing this…” Pearline whined.
It was too late for that.
“I’m ‘bout to tear that ass up,” Smoke warned her with a forceful, guttural voice. He picked Pearline up by her waist and turned her around, “Spread your fucking thighs...c’mon, baby, open that pussy up I need that shit so bad...yessss...got this pussy driving me crazy, Pearlie...this wet ass pussy...make love to this pussy all fucking day, baby…”
“Oh, my goodness!”
"Pussy getting wetter with papa’s fat dick up in it?” 
Pearline moaned in response. This was the most vocal Smoke had ever been. He couldn’t wait to have her.
"Pearlie…fuck…" Smoke moaned, "darling...I swear to God,...do you know how I’d kill to be up in this? Huh? Make you mines...I’m stroking it…all this wet pussy wrapped around my fucking dick...alla ‘dis ass? dassit baby...fuck on daddy like that…”
Pearline couldn’t help herself as she leaned over, ass high while she rode Smoke’s dick in reverse cowgirl. She looked back at him, curls in her face and heart racing from the workout she was giving her pussy. She could feel Smoke’s fingers graze her ass cheeks before they were on lower lips. Pearline’s peach fuzz tickled his thumbs as he spread heropen so that he could watch the way his dick pushed past her swollen vulva, producing more cream. 
“Damn, Pearlie…it’s like ya’ pussy been wanting this dick…you’re so wet…”
“Unh, yes—”
“Ohhh, you work it like that, huh? That’s how you riding this daddy dick?” Smoke groaned and it made your clit twitch. 
“You makin’ this dick hella sloppy,” Smoke said and she heard the obstacle in his voice to hold his nut off. Pearline was working the tip of his dick now, all that beautiful dark skin and the muscles in her back mesmerizing him.
“Elijah…” Pearline moans, but it’s so low with how loud her pussy is.
Smoke was in a trance watching her ass bounce and clap against his crotch each time she came down on his dick. The cotton candy pink center in contrast with her deep brown skin made him salivate.
“Ooh—”
“Papa hittin’ that spot? Yeah? Here, lemme hit it for ya’ some more.. ooh, baby, ya’ takin' it…there ya’ go…hmmmm, pussy is yankin’ me...here some more dick for, ya’…”
Pearline looked back and saw the intensity in his eyes and then she could feel his dick in her stomach. Her face felt tight and hot and the heat from Smoke’s body had her shimmery skin sweating. Pearline felt tears pricking her eyes and her mouth fell open, drooling with lust. This shit was too good. 
“Ima cum on this dick, Papa!”
“Gon’ head that’s what the fuck I want,” Smoke said menacingly, “Where the fuck is it?!”
“Ohhhhhhh, Shit—”
“Bounce on that dick…just like that…bring that ass down on me, girl...ahhhh, fuck…you do it so nasty on this wood, girl...so fucking nasty. Been wanting me to fuck ya’ tail up…you like fucking the other twin, baby?”
“Yes! Yes! Yes!”
Pearline’s ass flopped down in Smoke’s lap, her walls like a tight capsule squashing his dick for dear life.
“Fuck, Pearlie…”
Smoke stood with his dick still buried inside of her and turned her around with her back arched, knees on the bed, and feet hanging over the edge. His eyes swept over her body as he spread her cheeks apart. Pearline glanced back, eyes lowering between his legs. Thick. Veins pulsing. She reached behind to spread her creamy folds for him. Their eyes met and he purposely sank into her agonizingly slow. 
“I love the way you moan when I push all this daddy dick deep inside of you…” Smoke pulled out, doing it again, “Like ya’ singing the blues to me…”
“It makes my pussy feel so full, Papa...I love the way you fuck me...it feels so good, baby, don’t stop stroking me…”
“You love knowing you fuckin’ Smoke, huh?”
Pearline’s warm, wet, tight pussy gripped his dick and when she reached back to grab for his balls, she couldn’t believe how heavy they were. If he keeps going at a slow pace like this, making her pussy cream and sound like this, Smoke gon’ erupt and make a large mess all in his sister–in–law’s pussy.
His hands were slapping her ass around to let her know she made his dick feel good with the loving he was giving her. It was deep and his words were nasty but his strokes were patient and savoring—like he wanted to stay in her married pussy as long as he could and make her moan as much as her voice box can produce. 
His thick dick is slow and torturous sliding in and out her, pussy lips snug around the head of his dick every time he enters her. Smoke would slide all the way in, her pussy making all kinds of noises, then he would pull all the way out. Pearline knew why he was doing this—sliding in and pulling out. He loved the way his wide tip pushed past her walls. He loved the warmth and her juices making his dick all sticky.
He was taking his time, learning the hole his brother fucked, the pussy his little brother neglected. Smoke could only imagine slippery and sticky Pearline could make his dick. She was creaming and oozing out with each stroke and it’s all over his dick and balls.
“You like it messy, yeah?” Pearline asked with a gasp in between. 
“Arch that fuckin’ back.” That was his response. 
“Like this, Papa?” She whispered as she pointed that plump ass further in the air, shaking it a little for him, “I want you to hit the bottom of this wet pussy...hold it there and feel me squeeze that dick…”
“Pearlie…”
“You like it messy, make your pussy cum—”
Smoke grunted.
“This shit mines? I thought you said we ain’t suppose to be doin’ this here?”
Pearline whimpered when he pushed deep enough for her to feel pressure. He was playing with her. She loved it.
“We ain’t…it’s wrong…”
Smoke hooked his hand around the front of her neck and he peered down at her with a mug on his face.
“I shouldn’t be fuckin’ my pussy? Thought ya’ wanted this dick?”
Smoke gave her two forceful strokes as a reminder. Pearline’s eyes crossed. He did it again, watching her face contort in the vanity mirror across from them.
“Talk to me, baby. Want it?”
“Yes, yes, please, give it to me…”
His punishing strokes hit Pearline out of nowhere, knocking the wind out of her chest and tearing her guts up. 
She continued her shit-talking while her ass clapped back on him, “Yes, Elijah, fuck this pussy, take it, I’m a cum all over that dick...fat dick making me cum right now...oh my God…that big dick making me cum right now…uhhhhhhhhhhh…”
She was cut off from Smoke’s hand on the back of her neck, pushing her face down into the mattress. 
“This fuckin’ pussy...I’ll get ya’ knocked up, baby. I swear I will.”
Her lips parted and she started drooling on the bed. 
“I know you feel these nuts banging that clit...that’s what I’m talkin ‘bout.”
“SMOKE!”
“Yeah? Yeah, baby?” Smoke teased. 
He was beating her walls out.
“Don't you ever think you ain’t special...look at all this…you ain't playing with no lil’ boy…you know what a beast can do to ya’ sexy ass…”
Smoke was reminding her that this is what she’ll be getting tonight, the next morning, the day after that…
Smoke pulled out and rubbed her clit back and forth with his dick, and all she could remember before seeing stars was pushing out a fountain from her pussy—wetting up the sheets, the hardwood, and Smoke. He kept going, his dick rubbing her swollen clit back and forth. 
“This pussy is too fat and juicy...wet pussy dripping...making a fucking mess on this dick...keep it up and I’m sucking on ya’ pussy again.” 
“Please…I wanna feel your lips again, Papa.”
Smoke groaned.
He got down behind Pearline and ate to his hearts desire. She reached around and grabbed his head. Smoke massaged her ass while french kissing her pussy from the back. Loud, smacking of the lips.
“You think you can steal this pussy from your brother every night?” Pearline dirty talked.
Smoke’s tongue worked harder. When he was finished, Pearline turned over onto her back, thighs spread and knees to her chest with her fingers pushing her puffy folds back to show him where he needed to nut. 
“Clean Big Papa dick off first,” Smoke is knelt on the bed near her face. All she can see hovering above her is the underside of his dick and his balls. Pearline extended her neck, mouth wide and tongue flicking before grabbing him by the balls. Mouth engulfing him, Smoke swipes two fingers over his tongue before bringing them to her clit while she sucked.
“Get that motherfucker nice and wet too, baby…”
Her lips pop off his dick, “Drain that dick in me, Papa.” 
“Shit, get ya’ pregnant? Pearlie don’t say sum shit that’ll get ya’ in trouble…let my dick go.”
Pearline’s lips left Smoke’s tip. She looked up at him with glossy eyes.
“I wanna cum like this,” Pearline spread her thighs so far that her feet touched the bed on either side of her. Smoke walked around and between her legs, his erection in hand, jerking downward to open his slit and show her his tasty pre-cum. 
“Damn...my dick...shit so stiff I could bust from the sight of ya’ pretty ass,” Smoke was back inside of her, “ima always have ya’...ya’ love me, girl?”
The gruff tone mixed with his words has her breath uneven and her heartbeat a little faster.
“...Wha?” Pearline was astounded. He was still sexing her missionary, her body moving back and forth against the bed in time with his strokes. 
“I said...do ya’ love me?” His jaw clenched tightly and his eyes were serious. 
“...Yesss…” Pearline turns her head away because now she can’t look at him as her tears begin to cloud her vision. Smoke wasn’t having that. He grabs her chin, forcing her to look at him. His brows are furrowed and his lips are parted.
“I love ya’. I love you and I ain’t letting ya’ go...I want ya’ to remember that and take every fucking word I’m saying seriously, Pearlie.”
Smoke’s lip had curled up and his eyes were so intense that she could literally feel them burning into hers.
“Do ya’ understand me, girl? I fucking love you...”
Pearline weeped. Smoke’s tongue found its way to her nipples and he starts sucking each one softly.��His patience. It didn’t matter how long it took for him to finally have her, he made that his mission. Her happiness means the world to him. She had moments of insecurity but his reassurance makes her realize it doesn’t matter. He dreams of all the ways he can take care of her, how he would treat her better and love her better. She’d wake up happy knowing she was properly taken care of. She’d feel more at home with him than she ever felt with Stack. And she believed him.
Smoke buries his face against her neck and with his hands wrapped around her shoulders to keep her still and his hips pistoning in and out, Pearline can feel him pushing all the love that he could deep inside of her.
She locked her ankles around him and shut her eyes tight to stop her tears. He was licking, sucking, and biting all over her neck. Pearline continuously gasps in his ear with each deep thrust of his. Her hand is on his firm ass and she start forcing his hips down even more.
“Dig fucking deeper,” She whispers to him. 
“Dayum...dayum,” He groaned in her ear, “Pearlie…I wanna cum inside of ya’!”
“Yes!”
“I’m about to bust this shit wide open—”
Her mouth went wide with ecstasy and Smoke’s hand was on the back of her head to watch her face while he forced himself deep inside, stopping at the precise moment he heard her try to utter a sound before doing it all over again and making her eyes roll. Smoke kissed and nibbled along her jaw. Her pussy didn’t make no sense to him.
Pearline felt the same about his dick. He was really stretching her out and the way his biceps trembled she knew he was about to cum heavy and hard. Pearline widened her legs for him some more. Smoke brought her ankles up to rest on his shoulders and he lifted to his hands, dropping dick off in her.
“It’s right here for you...cum in your pussy, Papa...this your pussy,...this your pussy, Papa...this your pussy—”
“Take my cum...take all my cum up in this pussy...ahhh...shit...I got more for ya’...that’s it...goddamn this pussy won’t let me go...keep cumming—”
Pearline could feel the sensation of his cum filling her pussy up and that’s when her own orgasm extended from the bottom of her pussy all the way up to the surface and made her spasm beneath him. It was fucking, but with so much affection for each other. Smoke eases out of her and even with him not there she still felt stretched out and aching. Smoke is on his back next to her, his dick still rigid. Pearline turns to the side, one leg coming up to rest on top of his while her feet rubbed against his inner thigh. She looked up to see Smoke staring at her—just studying her face.
“I love you.”
Pearline’s shyness took over. The intensity in his eyes. She knew he meant it.
“You really love me?” Pearline asks with a shaky and sweet voice.
“Real shit, baby...real shit.”
She beamed and hid her face. Smoke chuckled.
“I can’t believe we just had sex.”
“We made love, Pearlie.” Smoke corrected.
The harsh reality of what just happened loomed over her.
“…What does this mean?” Pearline asked with a small voice.
“It means whatever ya’ want it to mean…but just know, I can make ya’ happy, Pearlie. Let me love ya’.”
Pearline sits up.
“Smoke…if Stack finds out—”
“So what?”
“You came in me! What if I get pregnant? We ain’t had sex in months! He would know!”
“Pearlie…”
Smoke stilled her. Pearline locked eyes with him. Smoke tried to find the words to say.
“What is it, Smoke?”
He was crestfallen.
“Pearlie…Stack…Stack been seeing Mary more…cause he thinking of how to get her away from Arkansas without her husband finding out she pregnant.”
Pearline cocked her head back. A fresh wave of tears swam in her eyes.
“W-what? What you sayin’? She pregnant with his baby? Smoke? No…no, no, no, no—”
Smoke wrapped his arms around Pearline.
“You knew all this time?!—”
“She just found out. She came to tell him. Pearlie…”
Smoke lifted her into his lap. He allowed her to cry, stroking her back and kissing her hair. She cried for a while, shaking against him. Smoke stared down at her, his thumb caressing her cheek.
“Pearlie?”
“…I should have killed him.”
Pearline sat up in Smoke’s lap. She had this far away look in her eyes.
“Stack a grown man. I can’t keep blaming you for his faults, Smoke. You’ve done enough to protect him and look after him. He never knew how to watch his own back without you being there…”
Smoke dropped his eyes. Pearline finally looked at him. She tilted his chin up, her eyes flicking from his face to his chest.
“Why didn’t you steal me from him? Why did you let him take me away from you?” Pearline contested with a knot in her throat.
“…why did ya’ have to fall in love wit’ him instead of me?” Smoke brazens.
Pearline held his gaze, even as tears streamed from her eyes.
“It should have been you.”

I've seen some folks saying that the reference to The Great Gatsby in TBOB was just a joke Alex didn't put deeper meaning into—which might be true, IDK the man's motives for choosing Gatsby specifically—and that there's no way the book has any deeper relevance to Bill's character beyond the eye doctor thing—which is totally wrong. Whether or not Alex intended parallels, there ARE parallels. So, for those of you who didn't read or didn't pay attention to The Great Gatsby:
the book's about a guy who started out as an unimportant loser with starry-eyed dreams, who very quickly gained a lot of power/gold and now presents himself as this dapper fancy well-dressed super important guy.
He constantly throws huge parties, he's got a reputation for being THE party host. But it's a sham, he's pouring all these resources into this party to make himself look so cool but he's living at the very edge of his means.
He lies about his history, lies about how he got his money (spoilers: he's a criminal), lies even in how he presents his personality—he's a con artist, he's always wearing a mask.
The reason he's doing all this—putting on the mask, making himself look so great—is because he's trying to reach across this very thin boundary to a better life he can see, JUST out of reach, so close but something he's never quite clever enough and rich enough and persuasive enough to reach. Every night at his parties he stares at his goal, he can LITERALLY SEE it, he just can't reach it himself.
The best he can do is briefly charm and dazzle someone on the other side of this social boundary, but he can never quite persuade that person to help him cross over; in fact no one on the other side of the boundary thinks he has a right to cross it.
He finds somebody—the guy narrating the book about him—who's very lonely, socially awkward, and disillusioned, whom he can easily awe with his stories and persuade to help him reach his goal, come on please, it'll be harmless! (It is not harmless.)
He loses control over the act he's putting on and over the people who only follow him around as long as he's still got the resources to keep them entertained and loyal.
It ends with him getting murdered by a guy he has LITERALLY never met before—by which point everyone has realized that he's a nobody making it all up as he goes along who was just desperately chasing the illusion of a good life and the admiration of everyone around him.
The narrator ends up disillusioned with him and the whole culture around him of grasping and clawing for a glitzy glamorous life at the expense of the regular people who are manipulated, trampled, and discarded in the process.
Now tell me that Gatsby doesn't have any parallels to Bill's character. And this is just based off reading the book a decade ago—there's probably tons of little details I don't even remember. The book may well have been chosen as a coincidence, it did recently hit the public domain. But if so, it's a VERY GOOD coincidence.

in light of recent ominous events with the eggs (namely, theories that they’re hatching, and their even more recent disappearance this morning), i think it’s worth looking at what an insane social experiment of a situation that all the members and admins find themselves in, with us as the overly invested lab coat scientists, so hi welcome to Quackity (Accidentally) Makes Social Experiments 100000% Funnier
when talking about the egg event the focus tends to be on the cc’s and how attached they are, because they’re the ones we can fully see and gauge their emotional responses. it’s already been well established how genuinely invested they all are. but the eggs’ admins have just as much skin in the game as their in-game parents do
The tragedy of the eggs being taken away isn’t necessarily the eggs (characters) dying/leaving. it’s more than that. it’s that, in a way, the admin dies with the character. And the further that the egg event has continued past the point it was meant to end, and past the point of no return, the more true this has become.
richas plays more than the “actual” members. phil admits to seeing chayanne and tallulah as part of the server and genuinely likes who they are as people. dapper, ramon, leo, pomme—they’re all so ingrained in the island that it is impossible to imagine it without them, and to do so would be like removing half of the cc’s themselves. only Worse!
Because it’s so final when the eggs die. so definite. because even if a steamer left, you’ll see them continue in their own capacity as a streamer, but the eggs are just gone. they’re mostly anonymous (richas is again a good example). they’d vanish like they were never there, with no real way to reconnect with them
and it’s all even More high-stakes from the admin’s perspective. from watching early gegg streams, you can see how, even with charlie’s mic off, it doesn’t really feel any different from watching a normal stream?? he’s still there, interacting with his friends, joking around, playing minecraft with them, and that’s what the egg’s admins do almost Every. Single. Day. what!! an indirect comparison would be an internet friend you’ve only messaged and never vc’d with. a more direct comparison (for those who were in the trenches) would be that friend you made when you were 12 and roleplaying on a minecraft creative plots server.
juanaflippa’s admin and tilin’s admin have, on twitter, mentioned how much they miss hanging out with their ‘parents’. bobby’s admin having to say goodbye to jaiden and roier and actually crying. tallulah and chayanne giving music recommendations to phil. leo interacting with foolish in a pretty Normal Friends way (yknow, if you disregard the bedtime stories) with leo teaching him spanish and him teaching her english. they’re ALL more than just characters. they’re people!! what the hell!!!
this is not to say that the admins for the eggs are traumatized, not even a little, or that the egg experiment is in any way morally wrong (on the contrary, I love it! fun roleplay dynamics! acting! emotions repercussions that make me want to study their brains!) though i do hope for the admins sake and all of ours that they can stay as long as possible or else their therapy bills will be crazy
because when it comes down to it, friendship is friendship, whether you met roleplaying their child on a minecraft server or not
enjoy the island :)

Forcemasc can be extremely humiliating and degrading! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. How humbling is it that you now live to serve a beautiful woman because she strapped you to a table and smeared t-gel onto you repeatedly.
She has to put gloves on her pretty hands, of course, can't let herself be corrupted how she's corrupting you. You hear the snap of rubber and then watch as she squeezes a big glob out of the tube, a glint in her eye as she glances from you to the shiny gel on her fingertips.
Perhaps she's a mad scientist, a cerebral woman with the sole intent of crafting a man out of you for whatever reason, perhaps she sees your potential.
Your thoughts drain out of your head all at once as the cold shock of gel glides against your skin, rubbing into your increasingly taut muscles and all over your body, and you can do nothing but writhe in your restraints as she describes in great detail her plan to make you into her perfect husband.
It's your position to be beneath her, as she sculpts you into her willing servant; here to carry big heavy things and go to work for her, pay her bills, give her money to buy Sephora and Coach and to get her perfect nails done, fuck her on demand when she wants it.
She'll take care to make you appear presentable. Of course, you will be distinctly masculine beside her, but none of that nonsense about smelling awful or being greasy in a wife beater because some simpleton thinks it's manly.
You might think, you're just a guy, you don't need much. Don't worry your big stupid head about any of it. She will arrange your wardrobes; suits and ties and nice shoes and cologne.
Can't have her arm candy looking slobbish! No, you will be her Dapper Dan as she wishes. You'll have all the time in the world to be absolutely filthy with her in the sheets, after all.
She touches your growing tdick with her gloved hands, bringing you back down to the moment once again when she gives it a few quick strokes and laughs at your responses, twisting and jerking at the sensation.
You're so sensitive now!
At last, she decides that you are ready. You look down at your newly grown tdick, hairs sprouting in rough stubble across your face, a happy trail, and hairy thighs that would take forever if you wanted to shave, the hairs inevitably sprouting right back.
You realize how permanent this is, what she has done to you, and all at once it makes you insanely horny. You want to pin her down and fuck her, the woman who did this to you.
She happily welcomes it, orders it even, but swats your sweaty hands away from her until she's led you to her bedroom. Stupid boy, show some restraint.
You get to the room and she strips, and she is so beautiful, such a contrast to you now, to how you always had been, on the inside. She is graceful and feminine and smooth as she walks, you feel so clunky and awkward, but she looks at you with admiration in her eyes at her work.
It's all it takes for you to top her and fuck her into her queen-size four-poster bed until you're both coming, over and over, you can't help but repeat your thrusting into her over and over, because she made you this way, because you've always been just a dumb man toy that exists to satisfy her pleasure.

i just had an ancient fandom memory unlocked which i need to share with you all 🙈 many of you are far too young to remember the halcyon days of early-2010s-Tumblr...particularly a pre-Once-ler Tumblr. so there may be a good chunk of you who weren't present for the insanity that was the Portal fandom, and specifically the fixation around Wheatley: one of the earliest Tumblr Sexymen 😳 so strap in for a little Tumblr Sexyman History...!!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
meet Wheatley, your companion and later-turned-antagonist in the enormously beloved Portal 2. bumbling and never able to shut his digital mouth, Wheatley is a Personality Core: a type of artificial intelligence housed in a metal sphere, developed by Aperture Science. specifically, Wheatley is an Intelligence Dampening Sphere. he was developed to attach to GLaDOS, the main antagonist of the whole series, to distract her with a litany of terrible ideas 😂
however, Wheatley doesn't remain amiable for long. in a scheme to dethrone GLaDOS and escape the facility you (or your playable character, Chell) are trapped in, you perform a core transfer, placing Wheatley in GLaDOS's chassis. the sheer power of being in control of the entire facility immediately goes to Wheatley's head, transforming him into an evil, sadistic, Machiavellian figure who forces you to perform test after test for his own satisfaction. also, he has a British (Bristolian!) accent. you can see the recipe for obsession, right? 😂💖
however, this was a time wherein fandom tastes were a little different. while today we are delighted to obsess over characters with unusual designs (and particularly thirst over characters of the robot/android/objectum/etc. variety), 'White Twink Humanisation' was rife in the early 2010s. if you've seen humanisations of Bill Cipher and ideas of what Cecil Palmer looked like, as well as the site's preoccupation with pale gangly weirdos (David Tennant and Matt Smith's Tenth and Eleventh Doctors come to mind), you can imagine that the urge to humanise Wheatley was huge.
Tumblr media
enter Stephen Merchant: Wheatley's actual voice actor, who just so happens to be a six-foot-seven, gangly, nerdy British guy. fanfic author Wafflestories wrote an extremely well-known Wheatley redemption fic called Blue Sky, wherein Wheatley is able to control a hard-light human version of himself...who bears a striking resemblance to the real-life Stephen Merchant. the Portal fandom unanimously decided that human Wheatley looked just like Stephen Merchant—a design trend we still see today!! 😳 here's where the cursed forbidden memory comes in. we were so goddamn obsessed with Wheatley. we wanted to see him as a human so badly. so we went through Stephen Merchant's filmography, and...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
this is Tracy, Stephen's character in Tooth Fairy (2010), starring Dwayne the Rock Johnson 😂 Tracy is a wingless caseworker fairy assigned to the Rock's character Derek, an ordinary man who becomes a tooth fairy against his will. Tracy is...unhinged. bizarrely intense. a delightfully weird and memorable character in a movie that can only be described as a fever dream, played with idiosyncrasies only Stephen Merchant is capable of. i recently found out it was directed by Michael Lembeck, who directed both The Santa Clause 2 and The Santa Clause 3 🙈💖 yes. for some ungodly reason, plenty of us Wheatley simps decided that not only was Stephen Merchant the faceclaim for human Wheatley...but this specific iteration of Stephen Merchant as a wingless tooth fairy. Tracy had his own little dedicated fanbase complete with ask blogs and fanart and extended Tooth Fairy lore. of course Tracy's popularity was helped along by his dapper dress sense and his...interesting personality. there was even a joking trend called 'Tracy Goes Insane 2011', wherein fans made a significantly more yandere, knifemurder-esque version of Tracy after he finally snapped. truly incredible 👏 so there you have it. we all started simping for a silly little metal ball who got drunk on testing juice and went full Joker mode, decided that he needed to resemble his tall, handsome voice actor, and consequently became obsessed with his stint as a deranged tooth fairy. and so it shall be written. thanks for reading 🙏💖

human vox
x reader 📺⛽🎤
an ; request more vox pls i love him, most of this is just me yapping
Tumblr media
The year was 1952 and you worked in the upcoming film and TV industry. While it was just a small job reading through scripts to find typos or getting coffee for the more important figures, it was a job nonetheless and you enjoyed it.
A new show had quickly skyrocketed in popularity since its debut, a game show where you would have to answer questions in order to win the, most likely branded, items. Something like a washing machine or a supply of toothpaste. If the producers felt generous that day however, the prizes would rise in value, the show once giving away a brand new sleek black Fiat 1900. While the simple yet new and exciting premise of the show might’ve drawn viewers in, the host of the show made them stay. He was charming and handsome, he always dressed the part with a dapper suit and his hair was always done perfectly. Whenever he spoke, it was like the whole stage brightened up a bit, at least, that’s what you thought. His stage name was Vox, you never really liked that name - too sharp and aggressive, you thought. His real name was Vince, and you liked it better, though you’d never tell him that. You hardly ever had any interactions with the man other than handing him the script that the sponsors wanted him to yap about. He was charming, and you liked him - unfortunately it was just a pipe dream. You didn’t bother chasing after him considering you were just a small time employee while he was the face of the whole show, thousands of American women had their eyes on him especially when they turned their black and white TVs on between 5-6PM.
Fortunately for you, the producers had caught a glimpse of you backstage and wanted to spice up the show a bit. It was getting boring, other than the host himself there was nobody else the audience could attach themselves to. So, naturally, the best idea would be to introduce a beautiful woman, who was smart and shy - the “role model” if you will. You fit the bill, and how could you say no? You would be beloved by every household for your wholesome nature, (and especially loved by all the men in unhappy marriages and liked looking at the young women on screen.) And if you won? you could keep the winnings.
And you would win, because the show was now rigged in your favor.
Simply put, they wanted to paint you as the underdog, the vulnerable lady who simply wanted a chance to make some money. So when you would answer every question, even the ridiculous ones, correctly, the audience would gasp in disbelief at your amazing hidden knowledge and then tune into the next episode to see more of you and Vox. The truth was, the only thing hidden was Vox sliding you the answers to each question onto your desk. It was genius, really, the producers seemed to love the idea and so did Vox. Anything for ratings. You were still a little apprehensive, but you couldn’t back down after already signing the contract.
After winning one episode and becoming around $10,000 richer, Vox strategically pulled you in for a hug and gave you a polite kiss on the cheek to congratulate you for your “victory” in front of the camera. He was an amazing actor, you thought as he said his goodbyes to the audience and the cameras stopped rolling. Maybe he should ditch this studio and try his luck in Hollywood.
Once the room was no longer focused on Vox, he turned to you, his smile less big and forced and a lot more casual, “That was your first taste of show business, how’d you find it? Pretty nifty eh?” He prodded you with his elbow gently.
“Yeah, it was um- different… to what I usually do.”
“Oh yeah, forgot you worked here prior.” He looked at you up and down as he pulled a cigarette and lighter out from his pocket, “Say, since you and I are going to be working with each other from now on, why don’t we blow this antsville and I’ll buy you a drink?”
As he waited for your answer he placed the cigarette in his mouth and lit it. You were surprised and albeit excited by his offer, but you decided not to go out drinking with a famous guy in the middle of the afternoon. Something something responsible adult.
"A drink? Oh, I don't know about that sir... It's rather late."
He scoffed and exhaled, a puff of smoke engulfed you as you coughed. "Don't be such a square." He looked at your face again whilst bringing the stick up to his lips once more, "And don't call me sir, makes me seem old. Call me Vince," He paused, "Or Vox, I don't really give a rats ass."
You nodded and took a small step away from him in a pathetic attempt to get away from the smoke. He smirked.
"I take it you don't smoke?"
You shook your head
"Look at you, I'm not surprised." He took another draw of his cigarette, "So, about that drink?"
You were going to be honest, you couldn't say no. He was so unbelievably pushy that it was practically impossible to turn him down without feeling like shit afterwards. He was THE Vox, America's beloved host! How dare you even think of saying no. So here you were, in his luxurious house, sat on his couch that probably cost more than your entire living room, and with a glass of expensive scotch in hand that he generously poured you.
He returned with his own glass and sat down next to you, laying his free arm behind your head. He took a sip, his gaze never leaving yours,
"You're a pretty thing, can't believe you haven't been casted already, or snatched up by some of the big dogs like Vogue." He said, a smile plastered on his face. "I think you and I will get along just fine."
_____
As he predicted, you and Vox did indeed get on well, normally chatting (gossiping) about who knows what in his dressing room after work. He had told you about his old job as a TV salesmen, and how he has this weird hatred for radios. Something about them being outdated and boring. You never understood. He learnt a lot about you too, your past relationships, your family, your favourite animals - you two grew close and he relished in the idea of getting even closer. The network had given you another job since you could only appear on Vox's show so many times. It was a higher paying job but not all that stressful since you now had someone to talk to about it.
The press had caught wind of your friendship and naturally began to speculate on it. You won his gameshow 3 times now, maybe you simply slept with him in order to get the answers? Maybe it was luck? Are you two truly just friends or are you dating? Or just putting on a show?
Vox loved it, he loved your flushed face whenever you'd read the title of a gossip paper involving you and your new friend, he loved touching you a little more intimately whenever you two were hanging out in public, and he especially enjoyed kissing your hand or cheek under the guise of being a gentleman in front of any fans that just so happened to meet them out and about. Luckily for you, these rumours went nowhere and remained as simple speculation. Did he want you? yes, he couldn't even deny it. You were funny and understanding, even when he wasn't in a good mood. You knew so much about him and he knew so much about you - the fact that you were gorgeous was just a plus. Additionally, you were fantastic for his public image; a darling little thing like you attached to his hip just fuelled his already massive ego since he loved showing you off. The only problem was - you were as dense as a brick. He often got a little frustrated since his flirtatious efforts were fruitless; you couldn't tell if he was being for real or just acting for publicities sake, so you opted on just ignoring his romantic (and sexual) remarks towards you.
And don't think for a second that you'll be getting a real soppy confession from him either. He would buy you expensive clothes and take you out to fancy dinners, he would hold your hand while you crossed the street together and he would cuss anybody out if they were pissing you off. His feelings for you would be confirmed by him sloppily kissing you on his desk one random afternoon after a few drinks and tears; maybe not the most romantic way to say "I love you" but it was close enough for him and close enough for you too.

A Love Story for Christmas-Part Two(the end)// t.c.
Tumblr media
This is not edited, I just wanted to get this out before the end of the year lol enjoy!
“So, you mean the bookstore is going to be closing for good?!”
Timmy shrugged, “Yeah, I mean people have been coming in for years saying that they can get books for cheaper online. And then there’s all the people that don’t care about physical books, so they just read off of their kindles or apps on their phones. Makes it hard to pay bills when people won’t buy our books.”
“Yeah, technology really has ruined the book-reading experience. It’s a shame, really. This place is so charming and sweet, it’s been a reading nook for generations in this town. I would hate to see it close down.”
“Yeah, I actually had an idea to go into business with the local coffee shop, like have the bookstore co-op with the coffee place to be one shop.”
“Oh, that’s an awesome idea!”
“Well, thanks.” he blushed, “but the city didn’t like the idea and the owner of the coffee shop said said no, so…”
An idea popped into your head, you opened your mouth to speak, “Timmy, my-"
“So, um-" he began, both of you spoke at the same time and you laughed in unison.
Wanting to know what he was going to say, you insisted, “You go first.”
“Okay.” he chuckled, “I was just wondering if you were going to the Festival of Christmas Lights on the Square tonight?”
“The Festival of Christmas Lights on the Square? I didn’t know anything about it. What is that?”
“Oh, I’m surprised you haven’t seen the flyers around town; it’s just a little event on the square, there’s displays of Christmas lights and all the local shops and cafes are open. You can walk around, eat, drink, shop and look at all the lights. It’s actually really neat, every year we spend two weeks putting up lights.”
“That’s awesome! Maybe I’ll check it out.” you smiled.
“Well, would you like to go with me?”
“Yes.” you answered, blushing.
“Cool, um, let me get your number and I’ll pick you up around five.”
……….
You were on cloud nine. Not only did you meet a cute new guy, but you got his phone and a first date. Well, you hoped it qualified as a date. And to see Christmas lights and sip hot cocoa, so perfect and cozy.
You had to dress warm, but still wanted to look cute for the date. So, you put on some thermal black leggings and a red sweater dress with your long wool coat over it.
You felt like you were back in high school, waiting for your crush to pick you up for a date.
Timmy pulled up at 5 o’clock sharp.
“Wow, you look pretty.” he announced as you approached him, he had opened the passenger side door for you.
“Aw, thank you. You look nice too.” you replied with a smile. “Thank you for opening the door for me.” you said as you got into his car. He looked very dapper in his black coat with a touch of whimsy from his cozy orange scarf.
“You’re very welcome.” he chirped, shutting the car door after you.
After he got into the driver’s seat and took off, you said, “Thank you for taking me to the light festival.”
“Oh, no, thank you for coming with me. I’m glad to not have to go alone.”
“Can I ask you something without being too invasive?”
“Sure, ask me anything.”
“How is a guy like you single? I mean, I am assuming you’re single?”
“Yeah, no, I am. I just got out of a relationship a few months ago. I just haven’t really gotten back out there, and just been busy trying to save the bookstore.”
“Oh? What have you been doing that’s kept you away from the dating scene?”
“Trying out fundraisers, talking with other businesses to try and collaborate, spending my own money on advertising, shopping around to find cheaper books for wholesale, but nothing is really working. It’s really hard to see my family’s business failing, especially since it’s been a staple in the community for so long.”
“I know, it makes me so sad. Maybe-"
“Hey, we’re here!” he chimed, pulling into a little parking lot.
You looked ahead, seeing the square all lit up and a decent amount of people making their way up there.
“Were you saying something?” Timmy asked, finding a spot and parking the car, turning the engine off.
“No, no. Let’s go!” you exclaimed.
…….
The atmosphere of the busy square was magical. No surface was left undecorated for the holiday season. Multicolored lights were strung, Christmas characters stood on every corner, greenery, holly, snow, everything was a winter wonderland come to life.
Every store and restaurant was open and alive with guests flooding in and out. The smell of coffee and gingerbread covered the exhaust fumes of the cars that would drive by along the square.
The street was packed with smiling faces and rosy cheeks. Timmy held your hand so you wouldn’t be separated. You were bundled up enough so you weren't cold, but tiny little snow flurries started coming down.
After browsing a couple of stores, Timmy took you to the coffee shop for a hot drink. "Hot chocolate?" he asked when it was your turn at the register.
"Sounds perfect." you answered. He ordered two cups.
The hot chocolate was the perfect temperature for drinking. It warmed your whole body even more.
You exited the coffee shop hand in hand, Timmy took a sip from his cup, then said, "So, y/n, I feel like you already know a lot about me, but I've neglected to ask about you."
"Well, what would you like to know?" you giggled as the two of you continued your stroll along the street.
"What do you do for work up in the big city?"
"It's funny you should ask, because I've tried to tell you a couple of different times today, it just didn't come out."
Timmy stopped walking, looking at you, "Oh no, it's my fault isn't it? Did I interrupt you? I talk too much, I know I do, especially if I like someone." He looked down at his feet, shamefully. He looked so cute and pitiful, holding your hand in one of his while the other held his cup of hot chocolate while holding his head down.
"No, no! It's not your fault. I don't think you talk too much. I think you're great, Timothee."
He looked back up at you, smiling softly, "Thank you. I think you're great too, now tell me about your work." he chuckled.
"I actually work in the marketing department for my father's coffee company." you said.
"Really? So, you're in the coffee business?"
"Yes, it's actually one of the biggest coffee chains in the world, I don't know if you've heard of it, Smith's Brew Company?"
"Wait," you could practically see the wheels turning in his head, "so you're y/n Smith, your dad is Ronald Smith of Smith's Brew?"
You nodded, giggling, "Yep that's us."
"Wow, that's incredible. He's like one of my business idols. I can't believe I met you, and that you're from the same place as me." he strengthened his grip softly on your hand.
"I'm glad I met you." you agreed, "And Timmy, I think we could help your bookstore. Remember the bookstore coffee shop combo idea you had? We could talk to my father about starting it. He is a sucker for helping small businesses, there's no way he would say no to helping his hometown save one of its longest running stores!"
"Oh, y/n," he shook his head, "that's a wonderful idea, but I couldn't ask you to do that."
"You didn't ask, I'm offering. You just say the word, and I'll set up a meeting with my dad in the city. He will be happy to meet you and hear your story."
He sighed, then looked at you with a grin, "That would be great, thank you so much." He leaned in and you nearly fell over as his warm lips met your cold cheek.
You weren't expecting the kiss, but you gladly welcomed it. You smiled at him. His sweet eyes made you melt in the snowy air. You stepped closer, your bodies touched, and you rested your head on his chest, never wanting this night to end.
Timmy placed his chin on your head, "So, how long are you in town for? I want to take you on a date before you have to leave."
You moved your head to look up at him, "Is this not a date?"
"Well, I'd like to take you on a second date." he smirked.
"Mom, look they're under the mistletoe!" you heard a child shout from a few feet away.
You and Timmy both looked up, seeing the small greenery with small white flowers and red holly, tied up in a tree with a festive bow.
Smiling at each other, you both knew what had to be done. You closed your eyes, letting him give you the most romantic, body tingling kiss of your life.

Really into how the new bill cipher humanizations dont only take into account his dapper partyboy weirdo villain vibes, but also (equally or moreso) consider how that form would look dejected and cracked and plainclothes and depressed and whimpering like a wounded animal. Ideal!!

Sugar Mama Chapter 3
Summary: Bucky is overworked and struggling to get by.  The bills are piling up and he’s consistently in the red with no end in sight.  Y/N is a billionaire’s daughter, entrepreneur and philanthropist having a hard time finding true friends or love.  She has a proposition for him. 
bucky barnes x curvy!reader Warnings: eventual smut, sexual assault (not from Bucky)
Previous chapter Next chapter
Tumblr media
The next day Bucky called Steve and invited him and Peggy to the burlesque club with him and Y/N.  Steve sounded skeptical still, but accepted the invitation.  “I look forward to meeting the boss,” he said.  Bucky rolled his eyes but was happy he accepted.
As they got ready later that night Bucky found himself wearing an outfit that he would have had to save for over a year to afford.  Y/N had bought him some nicer clothes for going out and he was looking rather dapper in a black suit jacket, a black turtleneck, black jeans and black boots.  She had mentioned something about liking his facial hair so he trimmed it instead of shaving.  As he zhuzhed his hair in his bathroom he heard her come out of her room.
“Are you ready Bucky?” Y/N called out from the hallway.
“Yeah I’ll be right there,” Bucky said, finally feeling okay with the state of his hair.  As he walked out of his room, through the kitchen and into the front room he stopped in his tracks when he laid eyes on Y/N.  She was wearing a flowy kaftan dress that was covered in different metallic layers of white, silver and a champagne color.  There were high slits on both legs showing her thighs peaking out as she walked.  She had black strappy heels on her feet making her three inches taller, and he noticed her toenails matched the champagne color on her dress.  Her hair was pulled atop her head in a bun that had pieces pulled out meticulously that framed her face and brushed her neck, and small gold and diamond hoops in her ears.  She turned to him as he entered and gave him a whistle as she looked him up and down.
Tumblr media
“Wow, Buck, you look…I have no words,” she said as she walked towards him.  “I’m sorry if it makes me sound thirsty but you look ravishing, baby.”
Bucky’s cheeks felt hot as he blushed at her compliments and the pet name.  He gave her a shy smile.  “Thank you.  You look amazing, Y/N,” he said as he gave her a once over as well.  
She gave him a beaming smile.  “Thank you.  I have something for you,” she turned back towards where her small purse and leather jacket sat on the couch.  She rummaged under the jacket and pulled out a box.  “I hope you like it,” she said as she plopped the box into his hand.
Bucky gave her a suspicious look, making her laugh, before opening the lid.  His eyebrows shot up as he found himself staring at a gold signet ring with some engraved designs on the sides and a square white diamond set in the middle.  
Tumblr media
“I hope it fits,” Y/N said quietly.
Bucky pulled out the ring and fitted it to his right middle finger.  “Jesus, Y/N, this is too much.”
“It’s not enough for you, baby,” Y/N cooed at him as she took his right hand and inspected the ring on his finger.  “It suits you.”  She quickly pulled him towards the elevator.  “Let’s get going.  We don’t want to miss your friends.”
After a short ride to the burlesque club the town car pulled up to the VIP express line.  Bucky quickly got out of the car and held his hand out for Y/N, who took it and seemed to visibly change in front of the cameras that started clicking as she came out.  Her relaxed demeanor was now charismatic, a smirk on her face as she faced the cameras and gave them a cocked eyebrow.  She looped her arm around Bucky’s back as he faced the cameras with her, unsure of what to do other than smile and try to not be blinded by the flashing lights.  A moment later she pulled him towards the front door of “Neon” as the photographers called her name and she waved to some of the people in the regular line who called out to her as well.
“Bucky!  Buck!!” Bucky whipped around to the sound of his name.
“Steve!  Hey!  Y/N,” Bucky pulled at her hand.  She quickly turned around and looked where he pointed and smiled.  She moved to the Bouncer and whispered in his ear.  He quickly nodded and pointed to where Steve and Peggy stood, waving his hand for them to come forward.
“Thank you, Thor,” Y/N gripped the Bouncer’s forearm and then reached out to Steve.  “Steve, what a pleasure to meet you.  I’ve heard a lot about you from Bucky.”
“Good things, I hope,” Steve eyed Bucky warily but gave Y/N a striking smile.  “This is my girlfriend, Margaret Carter.”
“Peggy, please,” Peggy corrected him as she shook Y/N’s hand.  “I’m a big fan of yours, Miss Y/L/N.”
“Just Y/N is fine, Peggy,” Y/N smiled wider at her.  “I’d love to chat, but let’s get inside and out of the way.”
Everybody followed her inside.  The moment she walked in, the owner was by her side, greeting her warmly and offering her the VIP booth.  She accepted and led everyone upstairs.  The music and the neon lights were mesmerizing as Bucky felt like he was whipping his head around to take in all the sights of the bustling club.  When they were seated Y/N ordered drinks for everyone and then finally sat back into the loveseat she was at with Bucky, letting her charismatic guard down.
“Whoo, I hope you don’t mind, it’s just a lot sometimes,” she said, looking at Steve and Peggy.
“Not at all,” Peggy quickly agreed.  Steve just watched Y/N carefully.  Bucky nudged his foot, making Steve glare at him.
“You don’t trust me, Steve?” Y/N asked.  She didn’t say it accusatorially, rather as an observation.  Steve’s eyes widened.
“Uh, it’s not that I don’t, trust you, Y/N, I just…um,” he floundered at being called out, unsure of what to say.
Y/N laughed jovially.  “I guess I don’t blame you, I wouldn’t trust me either.  He’s your best friend, like brothers, I get it.”  She held Bucky’s hand and squeezed it.  “I hope we can all be good friends, though.  I have no ill will or bad intentions towards him, pinky promise,” she held out her free hand, pinky pointed upwards towards Steve.  He snorted and surrendered his pinky to loop with hers.
“I’m sorry, Y/N.  I’m sure you’re great–”
“You just don’t know me yet.  But don’t worry, I’m all bark and no bite,” she flashed her teeth at him then laughed again.  A song came on that made her jump in her seat.  “Oh!  Peggy come dance with me!”
“Okay,” Peggy laughed and stood up to join Y/N just a few feet away in an empty space as the next burlesque dancer came out on the stage and did her routine.
Steve scooted over to Bucky as the girls danced nearby.  “So, she seems fun.”
“Hm,” Bucky barely acknowledged him as he watched them dance and laugh together.  As the burlesque dancer’s set progressed they cheered her on.
“Buck, I’m not trying to be mean,” Steve sighed.
“I know, but you’re not exactly being nice, either,” Bucky finally looked at him.  “I know this is weird, the whole thing is weird.  I still barely know her.  But I wanna see where this leads me.  I have a good feeling about it…about her.”
Steve nodded, a knowing look in his eye as he looked Bucky up and down.  “You look nice, gift from mama?” he glanced at Y/N.
Bucky laughed, “Yeah.  She likes to spoil.”
“And the ring, wow,” Steve grabbed his hand and looked at it.  “You lucky dog.”
“Ah come on, punk.  I already feel like I’m showing off too much.  As nice as it all is,” Bucky said quietly, not wanting to offend Y/N.
“No, it's cool, man.  You deserve this.  You’ve been working really hard for a long time, this is a good break for you.  And honestly, she seems fun, and nice.  I hope it all works out for you,” Steve complimented him.  “Just don’t forget about us little people.”
Bucky rolled his eyes.  “Never,” he promised, giving Steve a fist bump.
The girls came back to them a moment later.  “Steve!  Peggy was telling me that you’re an artist!” Y/N said as they sat back down, the next dancer coming to the stage.  Their drinks were delivered and she took a small sip.
“Oh, uh, yeah, just some freelancing on the side mostly,” Steve said, glancing at Peggy.  She gave him a wide grin.
“He’s very good, Y/N, he’s just embarrassed and doesn’t know how to network himself very well, yet,” Peggy patted Steve’s arm gently.
“Well, I’ve been looking for a new piece to hang in my room.  My former designer picked it out and I just don’t like it, no offense to them,” she gave him a sheepish smile.  “Would you mind coming by my place soon and maybe we can discuss some options?”
Steve’s face lit up as she spoke.  “Yeah, yeah that sounds amazing.”
“Wonderful, let me get your number…you, too Peggy!  We’ll have to have dinner soon,” Y/N said as she passed her phone over to them.  They both eagerly put their information into it.
Bucky smiled as the night wore on, Y/N being friendly and accommodating to his friends, and telling him about the club and what work had gone into getting it ready and what her role as key investor was.  The dancers were amazing, the music and the drinks flowing as they all danced and sang along and cheered for the dancers.
It was the early morning hours when they decided to call it quits.  As they headed out the front door some straggler photographers snapped pictures of Y/N as she said goodbye to Steve and Peggy.  “Text me!” she whisper-yelled to Peggy as they both smiled giddily to each other before she hugged Steve then took Bucky’s hand and headed towards the car waiting for them.
“Y/N!  Who are your friends!?”
“Is this a new boyfriend, Y/N?”
“What’s your name, man?”
They quickly jumped in the car and took off.  She leaned back into the seat next to him, stretching her legs out as best as she could and sighing heavily.
“Are you alright?” Bucky giggled, seeing her tired face.
“Yeah, my feet are just killing me,” she groaned.
“Here,” Bucky gingerly pulled one of her legs up and reached for her shoe, unbuckling the heel and setting it next to himself, then doing the same to the other foot.  Her legs were hoisted into his lap, making her angle her body weirdly in the car, but as he started rubbing her feet she moaned.  He laughed again, “Does that feel good?”
“Soooo good, baby,” Y/N sighed, her eyes closed and her head leaning against the car window.  Bucky then realized the position he was in.  Her legs were on full display through the slits in her dress and in his lap, making the dress hike up her thick thighs a bit so he could almost see up her dress and in between her legs.  He saw a flash of lacy black underwear and quickly focused back on her feet.  
“You okay?” she questioned him when he had stopped for a moment, opening her eyes and giving him a worried look.
“I’m fine, just got distracted,” he waved her off, rubbing the heels of her feet gently.
The car arrived at her apartment and he grabbed her shoes and slipped out, reaching for her hand to help her out of the car.  She limped a little as her feet met the sidewalk.  “Jesus, you had a little too much fun dancing,” Bucky said as she clung to his arm as he led her inside to the elevator.
“I haven’t been dancing in a long time, so sue me for having a little too much fun,” she joked.  “Plus, Peggy is fun.  It’s nice to make genuine friends.”
Bucky wound an arm behind her back as the elevator opened and they walked into her apartment.  “I’m sorry Steve was a little standoffish at the start,” he began.
“Don’t be sorry.  I completely understand,” Y/N interrupted him.  “I don’t blame him for being worried about his friend.  This sort of arrangement is still taboo, so I get it.”
“He seems excited to work with you, though.  Thank you for giving him a chance to do more art,” Bucky said.
“Oh it’s no problem at all.  I’m sure he just needs a little help getting out there,” Y/N waved off his thanks.  “I’m happy to do it.  And I honestly don’t like that piece on my wall.”
“Can I see it?” Bucky asked.
“Yep, come see the monstrosity!” she announced dramatically.  Bucky laughed as he led her into her room.  She stepped out of his embrace and sat on her bed, then pointed behind him.  He looked around to the wall facing her bed and grimaced.
“What the fuck is that?” he exclaimed.
Y/N laughed heartily at his reaction.  “That is an Igor Eugen Prokop painting.”
Bucky stared at it, his head tilting sideways.  “It’s a little, um…”
“Phallic?” Y/N giggled.
Bucky shook his head and looked away from it, rubbing his eyes.  “God, and you stare at that every night as you’re going to sleep?”
“I try not to,” she said.  “But it’s kinda hard when it’s staring right back at you.”
“No,” Bucky said, then walked over to the painting and pulled it off the wall.  He hid it behind the dresser that was sitting below it, making sure it was completely out of sight.
“Thank you, baby,” Y/N giggled again, then yawned.  “Oh god, okay.  Time to sleep,” she stood up and limped again.
“Maybe no heels next time,” Bucky offered her his hand, which she gladly accepted as he led her over to her closet.
“I got it from here, Bucky, thank you,” she patted his hand.  “You go to bed.  If I need anything I’ll yell at you.  Oh, and…” she stood on her tip toes and kissed his cheek.  “Thank you for coming with me tonight, and introducing me to your friends.”
Bucky beamed at her.  “Thank you for taking me.  And for the outfit, and the ring, and for being so great to my friends,” he rattled off, squeezing her hand lightly.  “I really liked the club.” She seemed to preen at him as he thanked her.  Bucky then made a split second decision and leaned forward and kissed her cheek.  Y/N’s mouth hung open as he pulled away, her eyes widening slightly before a small smirk graced her features.
“Goodnight, baby,” she said.
“Goodnight, Y/N.”
