The Prada afterparty was as extravagant as expected—glamorous lights, luxury-clad guests, and a steady flow of champagne that made the night blur around the edges. You floated through the room, every step purposeful, the custom Prada gown you wore fitting like a second skin. You felt eyes on you all evening, but the only pair you cared about belonged to him.

Jay had been watching you from across the room, his dark eyes heavy with intent. He was wearing an all-black Prada suit, his hair tousled just enough to look like he’d walked straight off a magazine cover. He looked good enough to ruin, but that wasn’t new.

The only thing different tonight was the way he watched you—shameless, unapologetic, and drunk enough to not care who noticed.

He approached you with an unsteady swagger, the glass of whiskey in his hand half-forgotten as he set it on a nearby table. “Hi, beautiful,” he said, his voice low and slurred at the edges.

You raised a brow, amused. “have you been drinking jay?”

“only a little bit,” he argued, his hand reaching for your waist. He pulled you close, his grip firm but familiar. “You look too good tonight. Too good to not be touching you.”

“Jongie,” you whispered, glancing around. The room was filled, but he didn’t seem to care.

“Let them see,” he murmured, lips brushing against your ear. “Let them know you’re mine.”

Heat pooled in your stomach, but you still managed to keep your voice steady. “You’re drunk.”

“And you’re irresistible, baby.”

Before you could respond, his hand slid lower, skimming the curve of your hip. The fabric of your gown was thin, almost sheer, and the warmth of his palm bled through, igniting every nerve.

“Jay—”

“Come with me,” he interrupted, his tone leaving no room for argument.

Without waiting for your reply, he took your hand and led you out of the main hall. The hallway was dimly lit, quiet compared to the chaos of the party. He backed you into a secluded corner, his body pressing into yours with a heat that made your breath hitch.

“You’ve been driving me crazy all night,” he murmured, his lips brushing the side of your neck. “The way everyone’s been looking at you in this dress.”His hands slid over your waist, his touch possessive. He kissed you,his tongue sweeping against yours in a way that made your knees weak.

“Mhm, i need to make sure everyone knows you’re mine”

You clutched his jacket, pulling him closer, your body responding instinctively to the hunger in his touch.

“Jay, what if someone might—”

“Let them,” he growled, his lips moving to the sensitive spot just below your ear. His hands found the slit of your dress, pushing it aside to reveal more of your skin. His fingers traced the curve of your thigh, sending shivers through you. “Jay,” you gasped, your voice barely sounding like a whisper.

“Say the word, and I’ll stop,” he muttered, his lips ghosting over your collarbone.

You didn’t.

Instead, you pulled him closer, your nails digging into his shoulders. His hands slid higher, his touch teasing and deliberate, and you bit your lip to stifle the sound threatening to spill from you.

“You’re going to be the death of me,” he murmured, his forehead resting against yours for a brief moment before he kissed you again, deeper this time. “You don’t know what you do to me,” he murmurs, his lips trailing down your neck. His hands pushing the thin fabric aside to reveal your thigh. His touch was rough, impatient, his fingers skimming your bare skin.

“You’re insane,” you managed to breathe out, though your hands betrayed you as they tangled in his hair, pulling him closer.

“For you? Always,” he muttered

His fingers traced the edge of your panties, teasing, before slipping beneath the delicate fabric. Your breath hitched as his fingers found your heat, stroking you with an expertise that made your knees weak.

“Already so wet for me,” he murmured, his voice thick with desire.

“Jay, we’re—”

“Do you know how hard it’s been not to touch you all night?” he murmured, his lips trailing down the side of your neck. “Look at you,” he muttered, his voice thick with pride and desire. “So ready for me.”

Your head fell back against the wall as he worked you with a precision that made your knees weak. His fingers moved in teasing circles, building you up only to slow down just when you thought you’d fall apart.

“Jay, please,” you gasped,

“Please what?” he asked, his lips brushing against your ear. “Use your big girl words.”

“More,” you whispered, your voice trembling with need. He didn’t make you ask twice. Sliding one finger inside you, he groaned softly at the way you clenched around him. He added another, his pace quickening as his thumb found your most sensitive spot.

Your hips bucked against his hand, the pleasure building faster than you could control. The tension coiled tight in your stomach, and you bit your lip to stifle the moan threatening to spill out.

his free hand gripping your thigh to keep you in place. “I want to hear you baby,”

His name slipped from your lips as you came undone, your body quivering against him.

But Jay wasn’t done. Not even close.

His hand left you only long enough to tug at his belt, the soft clink of metal making your breath catch. He worked quickly, his eyes never leaving yours, and when he freed himself, you couldn’t help the soft gasp that escaped your lips.

He smirked at your reaction, his cock hard and heavy in his hand as he stroked himself slowly, deliberately, his eyes dark with desire. He smirked at your reaction, his cock hard and heavy in his hand as he stroked himself slowly, deliberately, his eyes dark with desire.

“Turn around,” he commanded, his voice low and rough.

“Jay, we can’t—”

“Turn around,” he repeated, his tone brooking no argument.

With trembling hands, you obeyed, your palms pressing flat against the cool wall. Behind you, he moved closer, the heat of his body searing against your back as he pressed a kiss to the curve of your neck.

“You’re mine,” he murmured, his cock brushing against your slick entrance. “Say it.”

“I’m yours,” you whispered, your voice barely audible over the sound of your own heartbeat.

“Good girl,” he said, his tone both praise and promise,

Jay pushed into you slowly, the stretch drawing a sharp gasp from your lips. His hands gripped your hips firmly, steadying you as he buried himself inside you inch by inch. The fullness was overwhelming, pleasure and pressure mingling as your body adjusted to him.

“Fuck,” he groaned, his forehead resting against your shoulder for a moment as he stilled, letting you catch your breath. “You feel so good, baby. So fucking perfect.”

“Such a good girl,” he murmured, his voice low and gravelly. “Taking me so well.”

Your fingers curled against the wall, your breathing uneven as you tried to ground yourself. But then he pulled back, almost all the way, before thrusting back in, harder this time. A choked moan slipped from your lips, and you felt him smirk against your skin.

“Quiet,” he murmured, though the rasp in his voice made it clear he was anything but calm. “Unless you want everyone out there to know how much of a slut you are”

his lips brushing against your skin as he whispered filthy praise in your ear. You couldn’t think, couldn’t speak, only clutch at the wall for support as he fucked you.

He set a steady rhythm, each thrust deliberate and deep, his hips snapping against yours with a force that sent sparks of pleasure shooting through you. The sound of your bodies moving together filled the otherwise quiet hallway, the wet slide of him inside you embarrassingly loud.

“Jongie—” you gasped, your voice breaking as his hand slid up your body to grasp your breast through the thin fabric of your dress. “You’ve been teasing me all night,” he growled, his teeth grazing your shoulder as he rolled your nipple between his fingers.

heat pooling low in your belly again, his other hand slipped between your thighs, his fingers finding your swollen clit and circling it in time with his thrusts.

“Daddy,” you whimpered, the word slipping out before you could stop it.

Jay froze for a heartbeat, his hips stilling as his grip on your waist tightened. “Say that again,” he demanded, his voice rough, almost dangerous.

“Daddy,” you repeated, your voice trembling.

A low growl rumbled in his chest, and he thrust into you harder, deeper, pulling a sharp cry from your lips. “That’s right,” he said, his hand sliding up to tilt your head back, forcing you to meet his gaze. His eyes were dark, full of lust and control. “You’re such a good girl for Daddy, aren’t you?”

“Yes,” you gasped, your walls fluttering around him.

“Look at you,” he muttered, his breath hot against your neck. “So desperate for me, so desperate for daddy.”

His smirk was wicked, and he leaned in to press a biting kiss to your lips. “You’ve been teasing me all night,” he murmured against your mouth. “Walking around in that dress, acting like you didn’t know exactly what you were doing.”

“I wasn’t—”

“Don’t lie to me,” he cut you off, his voice sharp but filled with dark amusement. “You wanted me like this, didn’t you? Wanted Daddy to take you somewhere quiet and remind you who you belong to.”

You couldn’t argue; the words only made your body burn hotter. “Yes,” you admitted, your voice barely audible.

“That’s my good girl,” he praised, his hand slipping between your thighs to find your clit. The rough pads of his fingers moved in tight, deliberate circles, his thrusts slowing just enough to drive you mad with need.

You couldn’t hold back the moan that escaped you, your body arching against his as the pleasure built again, more intense this time. Every thrust, every stroke of his fingers pushed you closer to the edge until you were trembling, your walls clenching tightly around him.

“Fuck, you’re so tight,” he groaned, his movements growing erratic as he chased his own release. “You gonna come for me again, baby?”

“Yes,” you gasped, your nails digging into the wall as your body tensed. “Jay—Daddy,” you gasped, your legs shaking as the pleasure built again, impossibly strong.

“That’s it,” he said, his tone softening as his pace quickened again. “Come for me, baby. Let Daddy feel you.”

The command sent you over the edge, your body tightening around him as you cried out, your release crashing over you in waves. Jay groaned, the sensation pushing him closer to his own climax. His rhythm faltered, his thrusts becoming erratic as he gripped your hips harder, holding you in place as he chased his high.

“Fuck,” he growled, his head dropping to your shoulder as he buried himself deep inside you, his release spilling into you as his body tensed.

The words dissolved into a cry as you came undone, the intensity of your orgasm leaving you shaking. He cursed under his breath, his grip on your hips tightening as he thrust into you one last time, burying himself deep as he spilled inside you.

Jay pulled out of you slowly, his touch lingering as his hands smoothed over your hips. You shivered, still coming down from the intense high, your breath shaky and uneven. He turned you gently to face him, his dark eyes softening as he cupped your flushed cheeks.

“You okay, baby?” he asked, his voice tender now, a contrast to the rough dominance he’d shown moments ago.

You nodded, though your legs felt weak, your body still humming from his touch. “Yeah,” you whispered, meeting his gaze. His lips curved into a satisfied smirk, but there was a flicker of warmth in his expression as he leaned in, kissing you softly. “You were so good for me,” he murmured against your lips. “You have no idea how much I needed that.”

As you tried to collect yourself, the muffled sound of the party filtered back into your awareness. Reality loomed, but Jay’s presence grounded you, his thumb brushing against your cheek in a reassuring gesture.

“We should go back,” you said softly, though part of you didn’t want to leave this bubble you’d created.

Jay tilted his head, studying you for a moment. Then, instead of leading you back to the party, he laced his fingers with yours and tugged you toward another door at the end of the hallway. “Jay, where are we going?” you asked, your pulse quickening as he pushed open the door to reveal an empty, dimly lit private lounge.

He turned to you, his smirk deepening. “I’m not done with you yet, baby,” he said, his voice dripping with mischief. “You think I’m letting you go back out there looking like that? Everyone will know exactly what we just did.”

Your cheeks burned, and you opened your mouth to protest, but he silenced you with a kiss—slow and lingering, his hands roaming your body like he couldn’t get enough.

“I’ll take care of you,” he promised against your lips, his tone soft but commanding. “But you’re not leaving this room until I’ve had my fill.”

Suguru, despite his best efforts, felt like a king whenever he put on his robes, the gojo-kesa. The process itself was meditative. The natural fabrics handcrafted into a flowy, ceremonial outfit, hung just right around Suguru’s body, weighed him down without constricting him. An anchor to his past and a promise for the future all in one. He left his rooms in the temple at a leisurely walk, picking up pace slowly. By the time his men pushed open the restaurant’s inner entrance, Suguru’s stride was brisk, purposeful, the kind that had people scrambling out of his way. A bar made of solid granite took up the central part of the floor. The southern wall was made entirely of glass, showcasing the gem-like glitter of the city at night. On the stage along the northern wall, performers clad in red and black swallowed and spit fire. The air around them churned with artificial smoke, lit up in reds and blues. The performers faded in and out of it like demons. The ceiling was lit up, too--a screen showing a shifting tapestry of tattoo designs, the stylised dragons, tigers, herons, snakes, and all sorts of clawed, fanged mythical creatures writhing sinuously above the customers’ heads.

I'm trying something here and maybe, probably failing? Unsure. I have time to figure it out, because unfortunately, this fic is going to be long.

Busy Being Shelbys.

[1919] Garrison Lane, Birmingham.

In the shadow of giants, six year old Lydia Shelby proves that courage comes in all sizes.

[Part of The Lydia Saga]

The cobbled streets of Small Heath were alive with the sounds of a bustling day, a cacophony that painted a vivid picture of daily life in this vibrant part of Birmingham. Market vendors bellowed their wares from behind wooden stalls, their voices competing with one another in a bid to attract customers. Freshly baked bread, ripe fruits, and an array of colourful fabrics were just some of the treasures on display. The air was thick with the mingling scents of fresh produce, roasted meats, and the occasional whiff of coal smoke from a distant factory.

Children darted through the maze of adults, their laughter ringing out like the sweetest music. They played games of tag and hide-and-seek, their joy unburdened by the worries of the adult world. The rhythmic clip-clop of horse-drawn carriages added a steady beat to the day's soundtrack, while the faint clink of glasses and the murmur of conversation drifted from the open door of the Garrison Pub, where patrons sought respite and camaraderie.

Among the children was Lydia Shelby, a striking figure with her bright blue eyes and unruly dark hair that framed her face in wild, untamed waves. She was a miniature replica of her older brothers, though her features still retained the softness of childhood that had long since been etched away by the harsh realities of life for her siblings.

Lydia was lost in her game of hopscotch, her delicate leather shoes tapping out a rhythmic pattern against the uneven cobblestones. Each leap and skip seemed to lift her further into a world of her own making, where the only things that mattered were the chalk-drawn squares and the simple joy of play. Her giggles rang out like tiny bells, echoing down the narrow street and adding a layer of innocence to the otherwise gritty surroundings.

The market's vibrant noise began to fade as an unspoken tension gripped the air. Conversations stilled, and the clatter of commerce dulled to a murmur. Heads turned and eyes widened as a sleek black car, polished to a mirror shine, rolled to a stop in front of the Garrison Pub. The vehicle, an imposing presence amidst the horse-drawn carts and pedestrian traffic, seemed to absorb the light, casting an eerie shadow over the cobblestones.

A hush fell over the street, the silence broken only by the creak of the car door as it opened. Billy Kimber emerged first, his sharp suit impeccably tailored, accentuating his lean, muscular frame. His eyes, cold and calculating, swept across the scene with the precision of a hawk. He moved with the confidence of a man who knew he commanded respect, his very presence a silent threat.

Behind him, his men followed, each one a mirror of their leader’s predatory demeanor. They fanned out, creating a semi-circle that seemed to cordon off the area, their eyes scanning for any sign of the Shelbys. Kimber's face was a mask of determination, his jaw set as he prepared to confront his rivals. The air seemed to thicken with each step they took, the tension rising like a gathering storm.

Lydia, oblivious to the shift in the atmosphere, continued her game. Her small figure, clad in a simple dress, darted from square to square, her laughter a stark contrast to the growing unease that enveloped the street. She was a picture of pure, untainted joy, her world still untouched by the darker elements that lurked in the shadows of Small Heath.

Kimber’s gaze landed on Lydia, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Lydia looked up from her hopscotch grid as the long, dark shadows of Kimber and his men fell over her game, casting a chill despite the warm day. Her bright blue eyes blinked up at the unfamiliar faces, her expression more curious than afraid. Her unruly hair bounced as she straightened up.

Billy Kimber, sensing the girl's defiance, allowed a slow, amused smirk to spread across his face. He crouched down slightly, bringing his sharp, predatory eyes level with Lydia's. "Well, well, what do we have here?" he drawled, his voice dripping with condescension. "A little girl all alone."

Lydia’s eyes narrowed slightly, her stance shifting as she planted her small hands firmly on her hips, a stance that was unmistakably Shelby. Despite her tender age, there was a steely resolve in her gaze, a flicker of the same fire that burned in her older brothers. She tilted her chin up defiantly. "I'm not alone," she said firmly, her voice steady and clear. "My brothers are inside."

Her unwavering gaze unsettled some of Kimber's men, their eyes darting between the girl and their leader. But Billy Kimber was not so easily intimidated, especially not by a child. He crouched down to her level, his eyes narrowing to scrutinize her more closely. "Do you know who I am, little girl?" he asked, his voice a low growl that usually elicited immediate submission.

Lydia nodded without hesitation. "You're Billy Kimber," she stated simply, her tone devoid of the fear that usually accompanied his name. "You run the races."

Kimber's smirk widened, a predatory gleam in his eyes. "That's right. And do you know why I'm here?"

Lydia shrugged, a gesture so casual it bordered on insolent, her small shoulders lifting and falling as if to say that his presence was of little consequence to her. "You're probably looking for my brothers. But they're busy."

One of Kimber's men chuckled, but it was a nervous, hesitant sound, the laughter of someone unsure whether to be amused or alarmed. Kimber's smirk faltered for a moment, replaced by a flicker of irritation. He was accustomed to fear and respect, not this calm defiance from a mere child. "Busy with what?" he asked, his patience thinning, his tone sharper now.

Lydia’s eyes met his unflinchingly, her voice carrying an edge of pride. "Busy being Shelbys," she replied, as if that explained everything. And in a way, it did.

Kimber's eyes darkened, his amusement giving way to a simmering menace. He extended a hand, intending to ruffle Lydia's hair in a gesture meant to assert his dominance rather than convey any genuine affection. His fingers, adorned with rings that gleamed ominously in the daylight, reached towards her.

But before he could make contact, Lydia took a deliberate step back, her eyes locked onto his with a mixture of defiance and warning. The movement was subtle, yet it spoke volumes. Her small frame seemed to grow taller, her presence more commanding, as if channeling the collective strength of her family.

"You shouldn't touch me," she said softly, her voice steady and clear. The softness of her tone contrasted sharply with the steel in her words. "My brothers wouldn't like it."

Kimber's hand hung in the air for a moment, frozen by the quiet authority in her voice. He slowly retracted it, his fingers curling into a fist at his side.

At that moment, the door of the Garrison swung open with a force that made the hinges groan in protest. Out stepped Thomas Shelby, flanked by Arthur and John, their presence immediately commanding the attention of everyone in the vicinity. The three brothers moved with a lethal grace, their expressions murderous, their postures taut with barely contained fury. The atmosphere grew dense with a palpable tension, forewarning of the storm that was about to break.

"Kimber," Tommy began, his voice slicing through the air like a blade of cold steel. "What the fuck do you think you're doing?" Each word was enunciated with an icy precision that sent shivers down the spine of anyone within earshot.

Billy Kimber straightened up, attempting to reclaim his swagger now that he was facing adults. His sneer was a thin veneer over the unease that gnawed at him. "Just having a chat with your little sister, Tommy," he said, his voice carrying a faux lightness that did nothing to mask the underlying threat.

Tommy's gaze turned to ice, his eyes narrowing with a deadly calm. He took a deliberate step forward, closing the distance between them. The intensity of his stare was enough to make even the bravest of men falter. "Keep away from her, get back in your fucking cars, and leave," Tommy said, his tone a low, menacing growl that left no room for misinterpretation.

Kimber laughed, but it was a hollow sound. He knew better than to push his luck with the Shelbys. "I'll see you soon, pikey," he said, but there was no real conviction in his words. With a sharp gesture, he signaled his men to follow him back to the car.

As the car sped away, its engine roaring and tires screeching, a cloud of dust hung in the air, slowly settling back onto the cobblestone street. The square, which had been a tense battleground moments ago, began to return to its usual hustle and bustle, though an undercurrent of unease still lingered.

Lydia stood frozen for a moment, watching the black car disappear around a corner. The adrenaline that had surged through her tiny frame started to ebb, leaving her legs shaky and her heart pounding in her chest. Her earlier bravado was giving way to a wave of relief.

She turned and ran to her brothers, her small feet making soft, rapid taps against the cobblestones. Tommy, Arthur, and John watched her approach, their expressions softening in unison. Tommy crouched down just as Lydia reached him, and with a gentle but firm grip, he lifted her into his arms. He pressed a tender kiss to her forehead, feeling the rapid beat of her heart against his chest.

"Good girl, Lydia," he murmured, his voice a soothing balm against the tension that still clung to the air. "You did us proud,"

Lydia's lips curved into a small, proud smile as she wrapped her arms around Tommy's neck, seeking the comfort and security that only her brothers could provide. She rested her head on his shoulder, feeling the steady rise and fall of his breath. "I know," she said confidently, her voice a mix of lingering fear and newfound courage. "I was brave, just like you."

The sun dipped lower on the horizon, casting an amber glow over Small Heath as Tommy took one last vigilant sweep of the streets for any lingering danger. Satisfied, he turned and carried Lydia towards the Garrison, Arthur and John close behind. As they stepped inside, the familiar scent of whiskey and smoke enveloped them. Lydia, nestled in Tommy's arms, exchanged a glance with John, who walked just behind them. She smiled, a mix of relief and affection, and John responded with a warm grin, ruffling her hair gently. Inside the Garrison, with the comforting hum of conversations and clinking glasses around them, the weight of the day's tension began to lift, leaving them with a fleeting sense of tranquility.

⚠️ SPOILER ALERT! ⚠️ Click here to read Neon Blessing from the beginning!

Club RED was a labor of love. A cyclopean eye of neon tubes stared down at the street from the facade of a beautiful temple to excess, bathing the darkening street in bloodred light which played through the mist kicked up by a nearby waterfall. The building was dark glass and darker stone, three stories tall and culminating in a domed roof. It wasn’t even 5 pm, but the line was pouring out the door and onto the sidewalk, foreign raincoats and umbrellas standing side by side with wet-haired Diluvian partygoers.

Shiv had never entered a nightclub through the front before. There’d been one club, the Magpie, that she’d frequented with her friends, but the owner was one of Ornarch’s devout and always let them skip the lines. Huh. She hadn’t been to the Magpie in years. She wasn’t even sure if it was still in business.

The line moved quickly, and before long, she was at the door. “Let’s see some ID.” There were two bouncers, identically dour and militaristic-looking men who loomed over her like a pair of sunglasses-clad statues, their suits custom-made to fit over the bulky structure of a mil-spec exocloak. Thin seams in the skin of their faces suggested the presence of subdermal armor plating to protect what the mechanized armor didn’t. One of them handled a scanner with the practiced care of a guy whose grip could crush a human skull.

Shiv showed them the card. “Kooler sent me.” The one with the scanner stared her down while the other barked a few quick words into a headset. If shit went south, the only viable exit was ducking the rope to the left, but Headset would make a grab for her and if those huge hands got a grip it was over. She’d need to distract him first, maybe blind him. Throw her coat in his face? She started to shrug it off her shoulder, just in case. Scanner continued to glower at her in a prolific display of disdain. He should be too far away to do anything, but just in case-

Headset spoke, snapping her out of her planning.

“Hm?” She’d missed what he’d actually said.

“Go on in. The boss is on the second floor.” Shiv pulled her coat back over her shoulder and brushed past the bouncers and into the club. She pushed her way past a heavy curtain of soundproof fabric and replaced the endless roar of the streets with the endless roar of Club RED’s speakers.

Water poured down gilded fountain walls and colored lights arced and scattered through thick smoke, produced by a mix of sweet-scented cigarettes and industrial fog machines. Waiters and waitresses wearing practically nothing served a very peculiar clientele: half of the patrons were exactly what she’d expected, the sort of wealthy-looking folks willing to spend fifteen credits on a can of beer; and the other half were all grizzled paramilitary types. The burning coal glow of their cybernetic eyes stared out at her through the fog, automatically seeking out her vital organs before flicking back to their drinks.

Shiv scaled the stairs to the second floor, taking a moment to look out on the dance floor from the balcony. The band’s frontwoman was more work of art than human, her limbs all formed from sweeping lines of carbon fiber and steel. Her guitar plugged into a port on the back of her neck, her quicksilver fingers dancing over the strings with surreal grace. She had a voice like an angel with a smoking habit.

“She’s quite something, ain’t she?” A woman’s voice came from behind Shiv. She turned to see Kurtz, for who else could it be? The owner of Club RED was maybe forty years old, a little shorter than Shiv, and built like a brick. Her head was clean-shaven, revealing dozens of tally mark tattoos, in sets of five, spreading from near her temple and across half of her head. Unlike everyone else, she was dressed simply and practically, in sturdy black pants and a tank top, and unlike everyone else, she had a gun at her hip, an antique revolver. Both of her eyes were red: one eye was flesh, with an iris that had either been dyed or transplanted. The other eye was metal, the iris glowing the exact same shade as the vast eye on the front of the building. She carried herself with an easy confidence, bordering on arrogance. “Are you the one Kooler mentioned?”

“Yeah.”

“I’m Joan Kurtz, owner of Club RED and REDEYE PMSC. What brings you to my door?”

[fortheloveofaussiegrit]

(WIP) spicin’ up date night; in which Mark and Oscar decide to head to a strip club ahead of the Vegas Grand Prix and decide that its not really them. 

It had been a silly little idea of Mark’s for the pair of them to go to a strip club in Las Vegas ahead of the race. One that Oscar hadn’t even opposed and had just simply replied to the text with “Yeah, i’m free tonight,” after backspacing the thumbs up emoji he usually used to reply to Mark with and hitting send. 

Mark had opted for a female strip club because, well, what would people say if they saw him stumbling out of a gay strip club in the early hours of the morning? …there was little to no thought, however, that went into the presumptions that would entail him taking his mentee to a strip club. 

The club itself was not nearly as cringe-inducing as Mark was expecting; he had to admit that the decor and the inhabitants of the place were not as shabby as expected. It was... adequate, and the grin Oscar was giving him almost reached from ear to ear and that alone was worth the trip.

They had already downed a few before they had left, deciding that hitting the strip club stone-cold sober wasn’t the best idea and needed some liquid courage, but the oval-shaped bar in the more shadowy part of the club was the first place they headed. Muffled but steady-going beats filled the large room and reciprocated the heavy, quickened beat in Mark’s own chest, carrying the anticipation of the night’s promises. The neon-illuminated light spelling out B-A-R above their heads was far too ghastly, in Mark’s opinion, but it lit up Oscar’s little radiant face as he leant against the bar. The light was bouncing off the tops of his cheekbones, his rosy-stained cheeks, and his eyes lit up like a kid in a candy store as he smiled at the bartender. 

He was too happy, and it was way too evident that it was his first time ever stepping foot in an establishment of this kind. 

The bar overlooked a number of booths, surrounded by seats of deep red velvet cushions, with the pole, of course, in the centre. It was a slightly more sophisticated strip club than the majority that littered the Las Vegas strip, with lavish red drapes of identical colour covering the walls and creating a division between some of the sections. The girls themselves, in little velvet shorts and matching tops, executed a somewhat uniform for the club as they swanned in between the few customers that sat scattered around the room. 

Oscar nudged a bottle of beer into Mark’s hand as he headed towards one of the booths. Mark gave the bottle a nod and a shrug in acceptance as he followed suit. Beer. Good choice, because of course, they had to keep up with the somewhat toxic heterosexual, masculine image that was projected onto them by society, which was another reason why they were trying to gawk at scantily clad women instead of men right now. 

He sunk into plush booth, the red velvet fabric being much cleaner than he expected. It was as hygienic as a strip club was going to get. Unsoiled, no marks or stains from previous inhabitants allowing himself to relax a little bit more into his surroundings. He cradled the glass bottle in his hand, rubbing his thumb over the rough label absentmindedly as he gaze fell upon the kid next to him who looked to be having the time of his life. Eyes wide, set ablaze as they darted between every inch of the scene unfolding in front of them. 

A couple of guys darted around the place. Not too busy as it was still early into the night.

Giddy. The excitement visibly bubbling under his skin. delirious ecstasy 

euphoria of some kind. But it was just the this is my first time in a strip club kind of buzz. 

He turned to Mark, “not your kind of thing?” he poked with a grin, resisting the temptation to physically jab his digit into Mark’s flesh. “We can go.” He offered with a shrug realising that there actually wasn’t much more that he would want to see anyway, but Mark shook his head, decisively. 

“I can appreciate a women's body.” Gesturing to the women in the centre of the room swinging around and around the pole in positions with limbs sticking out in opposite directions that Mark thought were quite literally impossible for ones body. “Relax.” He winked with twinkle in his eyes that Oscar couldn’t quite place. “Enjoy it.” 

Oscar fumbled with the bottle, haphazardly bringing it to his lips and taking a sip before his eyes tore back to the girl he was meant to be drooling over. The lighting was as neon and distracting as they get. In sometimes pinkish, sometimes bluish tones that illuminated the stage. Reflecting off of the girl’s limbs as she stuck them out in each and every direction. Big, bouncy, golden curls highlighted by the multicoloured lights. Pretty. Very pretty. She was the type that would have most other guys begging on their knees just for her to look in their direction, but she didn’t do much for Oscar, not so much as even twitch in his jeans. 

He preferred something different. He wanted someone with a pair between their legs instead of a pair being held up by a tiny string bikini. He didn’t want a girl with petite little shoulders and a dainty little waist; he yearned for broad, strong shoulders that could muster the strength to throw him across a room, and, well, he liked the tummy Mark was beginning to show.

//

Mark reached up to pull the curtain, tugging at it as Oscar did the same with his jeans.

“I always forget…” He trailed off as he gazed — his fingers wrapped around the base of Mark’s cock. 

“Forget what?” Mark stared as a red glaze streaked over the tops of Oscar’s cheeks and the bridge of his nose, dancing around the freckles that were scattered across his skin, seemingly painted on by the hands of tiny little angels. Heavenly.

“The size.” The blush deepening to an almost blood red as the mischievous grin permeated across his cheeks, looking up to Mark through his eyelashes, “don’t let that go to your head.” He spoke as it did just that in his palm. 

Oscar let out a giggle as it twitched again. 

“You want me to?” He teased, bemused by the free-rein he had over Mark in times like this. Mark would let him do anything. 

“Of course i fucking do.” He — resisting the urge to clout him round the head. “Get on with it.” He wanted to __ , but then Oscar did just that and his whole body felt like it was about to collapse in on itself. His head falling back as he let out a shuddered breath as Oscar sucked him into his hot, wet mouth. 

//

Fumbling with the key as he tried to slot it into the lock. He had already came once tonight and nothing on earth was stopping him from doing it again just hopefully this time it was nestled deeply into Oscar’s rear-end. 

“No little dance?” Mark joked as Oscar across the room, pulling his t-shirt up and over his head. 

“You want to prolong this any longer?” He answered back, raising an eyebrow at Mark. 

“Nope.” Shaking his head as he smirk grew on his lips. “Definitely don’t.”

An Alternate Selection

Omg, I can't believe the SoC is almost over! I didn't know if I'd make it this far, honestly, so thank you to everyone who stuck around through all my late posts. Day 31 is basically a free space on the prompt list, so after I've posted today's fic and added the link to my SoC Masterlist, I'm going to edit the Day 31 section on the Masterlist to announce what I've selected for the final day! I hope you all enjoy the last two fics from this crazy event!

So, just as a side note, I did a little research, and it turns out that according to Memory Alpha, Tiron is a Serilian. If you want to read about that, I'll link the relevant Memory Alpha page here. Also, yes, Tiron is a creeper, but just like with Tolaris, I felt the need to put him into a situation. So here we go!

Day 30: Thigh Fucking

SoC prompt list here. SoC Masterlist here. Cross-posted to AO3 here.

~*~

Tiron (ST:DS9) x Dabo Girl!Reader

[A/N: This is smut, so 18+ ONLY, MINORS DNI!!!]

Warnings: Interspecies sex, Serilian/Human sex, sex work, referenced holosuite sex, begging, thigh fucking, biting, corruption kink, implied oral sex (male receiving), Tiron is still a creep but at least it's not toward Kira this time.

~*~

"A glass of Andorian ale," Tiron ordered as he straightened his sleeve and leaned against the bar. He hadn't been so disappointed with a holosuite program in years. Ah well. At least he had enough money to do something about it.

After expressing his displeasure to Quark over the program he'd just been forced to endure for an agonizing ten minutes, the Serilian had an idea of exactly what he wanted.

"What I want is not in your catalogue," he said leaning a little closer to keep their conversation as private as possible.

"Well, tell me what it is, and I'll order it for you," Quark murmured, trying to sound reassuring. "It may take some time, but if it exists, I'll get it."

"That's just the point, Quark. The program I want doesn't exist," Tiron muttered, and he offered the Ferengi a pretty serious amount of latinum for his custom program commission. He noted some fear, though, when he mentioned his interest in Major Kira playing a central part. "Can you do it?"

"...I'll look into the logistics of creating such a program, but in the meantime, I think you'll find that our in-house amenities are more than adequate to meet your...discerning tastes," the bartender said before snapping his fingers. Glidia, one of the Dabo girls, made her way to Tiron's side, and he scoffed. "Something wrong?"

"You think this woman can–" The Serilian broke off as he let his eyes wander the room and spotted someone he'd never seen before. Tiron barely noticed as Quark followed his customer's gaze and waved Glidia away.

"She's one of mine, as well. She started last week, and she's...quite skilled in pleasure for a Human," the Ferengi muttered, and Tiron swallowed as he observed the scantily-clad woman carrying a drink tray. He'd never been with one of her species before. Exploring their differences would certainly be an intriguing experience. "Would you like an introduction?"

Without tearing his eyes from the woman, Tiron tossed the latinum he'd offered earlier unceremoniously onto the bar.

"How long will that buy me?"

"A full night and morning."

"Excellent. Have her meet me in the holosuite I rented. Make the setting...interesting." Tiron smoothed his jacket and strode toward the stairs with his drink.

He'd needed to readjust himself in his pants several times to stay comfortable while he waited in the plush, palace bedroom that Quark had conjured for their use. When the door finally slid open, he had to make use of every shred of restraint left in him.

She was even more stunning in this light than she had been down in the bar. The nearly-transparent fabric of her flowing, smoke-like dress preserved only the smallest shreds of her modesty.

And yet...there was a quality in her wide eyes that made Tiron feel more like an animal on the prowl than he had in years. He could see why she'd been hired. There was an air of innocence about her that not even her risqué outfit could dispel.

The Serilian took great pride in the sounds he was able to coax from her as the night wore on. He'd started slow. Of course he had! Watching the slow decline of morals and dignity and the gentle transformation from chaste to depraved was half the fun of a seduction like this.

After all the foreplay he could stomach, he tossed her on the bed, grasped the bodice of her dress, and tore it straight down the center. She could afford another. He'd make sure of it. Tiron left the shredded garment on her torso as he positioned himself between her legs.

"Please...sir, please..." She begged so sweetly for him to fuck her that he nearly spilled before he'd even entered her. Pathetic little thing.

Perfect.

It had been so long since a non-hologram had been this desperate for him to use them. There must be some sort of chemical reaction between their pheromones, because he was beginning to feel frenzied, as well. A deep, burning hunger spread gradually from his chest outward to his extremities, permeating his every cell.

Tiron hadn't expected this level of compatibility between their species. He was even more surprised at his own actions when he lifted her legs, pressed them together, and began rutting between her slick thighs. Grunts and groans poured from him even as he bit at her calf muscles to mark her.

A gush of pleasure erupted from him along with his seed, drawing a shout from his throat and a needy whimper from the whore beneath him. His release spurted across her skin and torn dress to create a debauched sight that satisfied the Serilian more fully than he could have anticipated.

"Tiron...please..." She whispered as he lay down beside her and nipped at her shoulder. "Please, I need to come."

"Now, now, there's no rush. We have all night to play, my dripping little beauty," Tiron crooned as he watched her place a few soft kisses across his ridged chest. "I paid handsomely for your services, and I want to see how good you are with that mouth. Put your lips around my cock. Make me come that way, if you have the skill. Maybe if you're good enough, I'll hire you from Quark permanently."

He'd offer her triple the pay she was receiving at the bar and fuck her until all she knew was his name. That would get Tiron what he wanted.

One way or another, he always got what he wanted.

From Flab to Fabulous - Modern Furniture is here to Woo You

Modern Furniture is synonymous with simple and functional furniture, furniture with neat and clean lines, minus the unnecessary ornamentation and hullabaloo. The trend of adopting Modern Furniture started and came at a time, when the modernist click here to learn more movement revolutionized all aspects of art, architecture and design and paved way for modern attire in everything.

Blowing the Winds of Change

There have been many influences that spurred the modernization movement. In fact, it had come about with an evolution as well as revolution. One major revolution came about when a German architect cast away the old classical style of architecture that was prevalent during that time of the 19th century and sent shockwaves around. The product was an example of genuine functionality minus the show-off. It was like a clean shaven person clad in a plain T-shirt and jeans shouting his importance in a society of bearded, bejewelled and robed kings. The new product that was termed as Modern demonstrated that ‘form follows function’ and this appealed the masses also as it became cost effective when there is no extra unnecessary ornamentation.

The trend picked up fast though with some criticism and subsequently, has influenced the fields of art and design also. Thus, Furniture has become more refined and defined and now takes the form of Modern Furniture. If an element on a piece of furniture has a purpose, it is there, if not, it is removed. Exotic patterns, motifs and carvings have replaced by purely functional elements. It reflects the idea “live for need, not for greed” and thus comes into existence Modern Home Furniture.  This Modern Furniture is faster to manufacture, affordable and above all, functional.

New Materials Replacing the Old

With the industrial revolution, the traditional material have been shun and now replaced with durable, sturdy and cost-effective materials. •    Handmade wooden furniture and hand woven fabrics have been replaced by materials like iron, steel and glass. •    Plywood is the new wood. Solid heavy wood is replaced by plywood.

With machines able to produce products at a cheaper cost and lesser time as compared to hand made products the Modern Furniture and especially the   Modern Home Furniture has come with the added zing.

Benefits of new materials

•    light-weight •    easy to handle •    easy to accommodate in less space

The use of new material has made furniture light weight and portable. The major attraction of Modern Furniture is that it is totally different from its ancestors in terms of materials, technology and design. With plastics and metal introduced in the furniture industry, today there are thousands of choices available and it is often confusing and mystifying to choose one. Today, we even have furniture from paper, cardboard and concrete.

Global Scenario

Earlier each country had its own movements in art, architecture and design, but due to globalization, the scenario is quite a mixture of global philosophies and local manufacturing. With growing populace and space available inversely proportional to each other, the Modern Furniture sees itself as the preferred furniture as it brings along with it its appealing merits. While choosing the home furniture, a customer would want Modern Home Furniture but still prefer to customize it according to his home and appealing to his tastes. His tastes are more or less an eclectic mix of past traditions, present materials, changing cultures and above all, the weight in his pockets! And Modern furniture does the trick. Elegant, affordable, less cumbersome in space, easy to handle and maintain, customisable- these are just a few synonyms that can be associated with Modern Home Furniture making a person’s home decor fruitful and fulfilling his dream of a perfect home!

All About Materials for Printed Circuit Boards USA

Printed circuit boards (PCBs) in the US are mostly a flat laminated composite. PCB manufacturers use non-conductive substrate materials along with layers of copper circuitry on the external surfaces and buried in internal layers.

Printed circuit boards may be simple, with one or two layers of copper on the substrate, or complex, such as in high density applications, with more than fifty layers. Manufacturers use a flat composite surface, as this is ideal for mounting components that are ultimately attached to the copper layer by soldering. The copper traces interconnect the components electrically.

Basic Components and Materials of a Standard PCB

A standard PCB usually has six basic components:

Prepregs

Laminates

Copper Foil

Soldermask

Silk Screen

Surface Finish

Prepreg is made from a thin fabric of glass and coated with resin. Manufacturers cure the resin in special treaters. The glass fabric forms the basic mechanical support for holding the resin in place. The resin can be of various materials, like FR-4 epoxy, Teflon, Polyimide, and others. Initially, the resin is in a liquid form when coated onto the glass fabric. The combination moves through the treater, and the epoxy begins to dry as it travels through the oven section. Once it exits the treater, the epoxy is dry to touch.

When exposed to higher temperatures, usually above 300 °F, the resin in the prepreg begins to soften and melt. The resin soon reaches its thermosetting point, where it rehardens to become rigid again and very strong. Manufacturers use prepreg sheets to build the second component of a PCB — the laminate.

When laminated together with heat and pressure, sheets of prepreg and copper foil form the copper clad laminates for PCBs. Once the resin hardens, these PCB laminates with copper foil on both sides establish the basic structure of which PCB manufacturers make printed circuit boards.

To produce the circuitry on the laminate surface, the PCB fabricator must image and etch away the unwanted copper from the copper foil. These copper circuits create the tracks or conductors on the internal and external layers of the board. Once the fabricator images and etches each internal layer to constitute the circuits, they laminate them together using the prepreg.

Solder Mask is another epoxy coating on the board to cover the copper tracks on its outer layers. The coating protects the copper tracks on the external layers from oxidizing and corroding over time. As the internal circuitry remains buried within layers of prepreg, they do not need additional protection. Copper pads, where components will be soldered, are not covered by the soldermask.

Silk screen or nomenclature, forms the lettering on the PCB surface showing component numbers, their location, and their orientation. They can also show additional mounting information or handling precautions.

Besides the common green and white colors for the solder mask and silkscreen, manufacturers often use other colors also, in consultation with their customers.

Surface finish protects the copper pads left exposed by the soldermask. Fabricators use various types of surface finishes such as silver, tin/lead solder, lead-free solder, gold, nickel and others. Apart from protecting the exposed copper pads, surface finishes also provide a surface suitable for good solderability.

Selecting Materials for Printed Circuit Boards

Printed circuit board manufacturers offer a variety of materials for making the substrates and other components of PCBs. PCB designers select materials depending on the application requirements. Different material choices provide the PCB with varying qualities, facilitating the optimum performance for specific applications.

Designers make a choice of materials depending on:

Electrical performance — high voltage, high speed, high frequency

Mechanical performance — rigidity, flexibility, flame retardant

Thermal performance — ability to survive high temperatures, good thermal conductivity, low coefficient of thermal expansion

Regulatory/Governmental requirements — WEEE, RoHS, UL

For instance, a common popular consideration is complying with UL or Underwriters Laboratories requirements for flame retardation characteristics. Many electronic devices come with a UL rating to show that in the event of the device catching fire, the circuit board will retard the flames and will self-extinguish. This is a critical consideration for several types of consumer and other electronic equipment.

Resins and glass cloth fabrics that make up the laminates, must offer distinct insulating capabilities. Designers use different dielectric materials offering distinctive electrical and thermal characteristics for determining which laminate will best suit a PCB design for a specific application.

When making a material selection for their design, designers must consider various performance features. Most important among these are:

Dielectric Constant and Loss Factor — key electrical factors essential for high-speed performance and signal integrity.

High Glass Transition Temperature — capability to withstand high temperatures during assembly and field operation.

Flame Retardation — for UL qualification

Thermal Conductivity and Coefficient of Thermal Expansion — capability to perform in harsh service environments

Mechanical Strength and Dimensional Stability — mechanical attributes like shear and tensile strength when the PCB is in service, changes in dimension when manufacturing, undergoing thermal cycles during assembly, or when exposed to humidity.

Some Popular Materials for PCBs

FR-4 Prepreg and Laminates

FR-4 is the most popular PCB substrate material and is fire-retardant. The material has good thermal, electrical, and mechanical properties, along with a favorable strength-to-weight ratio as necessary for electronic applications. These are also one of the lowest cost PCB materials available.

Among printed circuit board manufacturers, FR-4 is a popular material for laminates and prepreg made from glass cloth and epoxy resins, for PCBs with low layer counts up to 14 layers. To improve its performance manufacturers often blend the epoxy resin with additives. This significantly improves its electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties, along with its ability to retard flames. Manufacturers use FR-4 laminates and prepregs as they are versatile, adaptable, and offer predictable yields.

Polyimide Prepreg and Laminates

For higher temperature performance compared to FR-4 materials, manufacturers use Polyimide laminates. Costing more than FR-4 materials, Polyimide materials offer better electrical performance, improved capacity to survive in higher temperature and harsh environments. With lower expansion characteristics, Polyimide materials are more stable during thermal cycling. Polyimide is more suitable for higher layer count PCBs.

Teflon Prepreg and Laminates

Bonding materials and laminates made of Teflon offer superior electrical properties, making them suitable for high-speed applications. Although more expensive than Polyimide materials are, Teflon offers designers better signal integrity in their designs. Printed circuit board manufacturers can enhance the characteristics of Teflon with special fillers and additives. Working with Teflon for PCBs requires specialized equipment and processing techniques.

Conclusion

Careful selection of materials for laminates and prepreg is necessary to ensure the Printed Circuit Board has the necessary electrical, dielectric, mechanical, and thermal properties for the end application.

How Custom Glass Manufacturing Is Revolutionizing Modern Architecture

Over the past century, architecture has undergone transformative shifts driven by technological advancements, societal needs, and aesthetic aspirations. Materials like steel, concrete, and wood have long dominated the architectural landscape. However, the 21st century has witnessed the emergence of glass not merely as a transparent façade but as a dynamic, structural, and multifunctional element. This transformation is fueled by the evolution of custom glass manufacturing, a field that enables architects to transcend previous limitations in design and functionality. With increasing demand for buildings that are sustainable, secure, and visually striking, custom glass has become an indispensable tool in the modern architect's toolkit. The trend reflects a broader cultural and technological movement toward materials that are both expressive and high-performing, aligning architectural design with contemporary values and user expectations.

Historical Context: From Glass Panes to Architectural Marvels

Glass has been used in architecture for centuries, dating back to ancient Roman glass windows. However, its use was largely ornamental or functional in limited capacities due to technological constraints. The industrial revolution enabled the mass production of flat glass, which led to its broader application in buildings. Yet it wasn't until the late 20th century that glass started to be considered a potential structural component. Advances in lamination, tempering, and coating technologies allowed architects to explore new possibilities, from transparent walls to load-bearing elements. These innovations marked the beginning of a new era in which glass was no longer just a cladding material but an integral part of structural and environmental design. As the boundaries of possibility expanded, so did the ambition of architectural projects, turning glass into a medium for storytelling, interaction, and innovation.

Technological Innovations in Custom Glass

One of the most significant enablers of modern architectural achievements has been the rapid advancement in glass technology. Custom glass manufacturing now includes processes such as lamination, chemical strengthening, digital printing, and dynamic tinting. These techniques allow for precise control over the glass's strength, transparency, and thermal properties. The ability to embed photovoltaic cells, integrate LED lighting, or add switchable opacity features has expanded glass's utility beyond aesthetics. Furthermore, advanced fabrication methods enable the creation of large, curved, and even double-curved panels that were once inconceivable. These capabilities give architects unprecedented freedom to realize complex geometries and innovative façades. The marriage of digital modeling with CNC cutting and finishing tools ensures high precision and repeatability, essential for large-scale, complex structures.

Environmental Sustainability Through Glass

Sustainability is a cornerstone of contemporary architecture, and custom glass plays a pivotal role in this paradigm. High-performance glass can significantly enhance a building's energy efficiency by regulating heat gain and loss, maximizing daylight, and minimizing reliance on artificial lighting and climate control. Low-emissivity coatings, spectrally selective tints, and thermochromic or electrochromic technologies enable glass to adapt to changing environmental conditions. These features not only reduce operational energy consumption but also improve occupant comfort. Additionally, some custom glass products are manufactured with recycled content, and entire systems can be designed for disassembly and recycling at the end of their lifecycle. In an era where green building certifications like LEED and BREEAM are increasingly sought after, glass's capacity to contribute to sustainability metrics makes it an attractive material for forward-thinking developers and architects.

Structural Applications: Rethinking Load and Support

One of the most exciting frontiers in custom glass manufacturing is its application in structural roles. Innovations in lamination and interlayer technology have enabled the use of glass in floors, stairs, and even load-bearing walls. By combining strength with transparency, architects can create spaces that feel open and light while maintaining structural integrity. Spider fittings, bolted assemblies, and tension rod systems facilitate the construction of glass façades and atriums that are both robust and visually seamless. These structural applications are particularly popular in public buildings such as airports, museums, and corporate headquarters, where they contribute to a sense of grandeur and openness. Moreover, the transparency of structural glass supports the trend toward visual connectivity, blurring the lines between interior and exterior, and enhancing the spatial experience.

Acoustic and Thermal Performance Enhancements

Beyond aesthetics and structural capacity, custom glass also offers significant performance benefits. Innovations in acoustic lamination and interlayer materials enable glass to effectively block or dampen sound, an essential feature in urban environments or buildings near transport hubs. Thermal insulation has similarly advanced, with multi-pane units and inert gas fills providing excellent resistance to heat transfer. Some systems integrate thermal breaks within the glass unit itself, further enhancing performance. These features make custom glass a versatile solution for buildings that require high environmental performance without compromising on transparency or design ambition. As cities grow denser and environmental standards become more stringent, these capabilities are not just desirable but necessary for compliance and user comfort.

Aesthetic Flexibility and Design Freedom

The aesthetic versatility of custom glass is another key factor in its architectural appeal. Glass can be colored, textured, patterned, or even printed with high-resolution images and graphics. Digital ceramic printing allows for permanent, UV-resistant patterns that can serve both decorative and functional purposes, such as shading or privacy. Custom curvatures and dimensions enable the realization of signature architectural elements, from undulating façades to organic interior partitions. The ability to tailor every aspect of the glass element empowers architects to express unique design visions while meeting performance criteria. Whether creating a minimalist residence or an iconic skyscraper, custom glass manufacturing provides the canvas on which architectural creativity can unfold.

Integrating Technology with Transparency

Modern architecture often aims to integrate technology seamlessly into building environments. Custom glass supports this aim by accommodating embedded systems such as touch sensors, displays, and dynamic lighting. Smart glass technologies, including electrochromic and suspended particle devices, allow for real-time control of transparency, enabling privacy or solar shading at the touch of a button. These features are increasingly used in commercial buildings, healthcare facilities, and high-end residential projects to enhance user experience and operational efficiency. Additionally, bullet proof glass manufacturers have adapted these technologies into their offerings, merging advanced safety with user-centered innovation. Custom glass can also house integrated antennas or signal-enhancing materials to support wireless connectivity, a critical factor in smart building design. This synergy between technology and transparency exemplifies how custom glass is reshaping architectural possibilities.

Safety and Security Considerations

As buildings become more open and transparent, ensuring safety and security without compromising design becomes a critical challenge. Custom glass solutions now include bullet-resistant, blast-resistant, and fire-rated options that meet rigorous safety standards. These technologies are particularly important in public infrastructure, government buildings, and high-security zones. For instance, laminated glass with specialized interlayers can absorb and dissipate the energy of ballistic or explosive impacts, maintaining structural integrity and protecting occupants. Fire-rated glass can prevent the spread of flames and smoke for specified durations, offering critical evacuation time. These capabilities allow architects to meet safety regulations while preserving the aesthetic and experiential qualities of their designs, contributing to the dual goals of beauty and resilience. Today, safety glass manufacturers play a crucial role in ensuring that these protective features become standard across a wide range of building types.

Global Case Studies: Glass in Iconic Projects

Numerous landmark projects around the world exemplify the revolutionary role of custom glass in architecture. The Apple Park campus in Cupertino features massive curved glass panels, manufactured to exacting standards, that create seamless transitions between interior and exterior spaces. The Louvre Pyramid in Paris demonstrates how structural glass can harmonize modern interventions with historic contexts. In Asia, the Tokyo International Forum utilizes custom glass in its soaring atrium to foster transparency and natural light. These examples highlight how custom glass enables both bold experimentation and sensitive integration, allowing architecture to engage more meaningfully with its context and users. Each project leverages the material's versatility, precision, and aesthetic qualities to achieve distinctive architectural expressions.

Challenges and Future Directions

Despite its many advantages, custom glass also presents challenges that must be carefully managed. Manufacturing large or complex units requires significant expertise and quality control. Transportation and installation pose logistical difficulties, especially for oversized or fragile elements. Moreover, while glass can be energy efficient, its production is energy-intensive, prompting ongoing efforts to improve sustainability throughout its lifecycle. Advances in nanotechnology, material science, and automation are expected to address many of these issues, enabling lighter, stronger, and more sustainable glass products. The future of custom glass manufacturing lies in greater integration with digital design tools, enhanced recyclability, and multifunctionality. As these innovations mature, the role of glass in architecture is likely to expand even further, opening new horizons for design and performance.

Conclusion: The Transparent Future of Architecture

Custom glass manufacturing has fundamentally changed the architectural landscape by merging aesthetics, functionality, and technology. From iconic landmarks to everyday structures, glass is being used in ways that were unimaginable just a few decades ago. Its ability to balance transparency with strength, beauty with performance, and openness with security makes it an ideal material for modern architecture. As the demand for sustainable, innovative, and engaging built environments grows, so too will the significance of custom glass solutions. Companies leading this transformation are setting new benchmarks for what is possible in architectural design. Their innovations not only address practical concerns but also elevate the cultural and emotional impact of built spaces.

In high-security and public-facing structures, the expertise of these manufacturers ensures that aesthetic openness does not come at the cost of occupant safety. Similarly, the role of protective yet visually appealing solutions is essential in mainstreaming architectural innovations. These contributions underscore the essential role of custom glass in shaping architecture that is not only functional but transformative.

Double-glazed and UV-resistant glass

Thermal and acoustic insulation

Custom sliding, folding, or stacking door systems

Seamless integration into existing architecture

From poolside lounges to penthouse garden rooms, Zealcon’s glass rooms add value, versatility, and visibility to any home.

Here’s how Zealcon leads the process:

Design Discovery: Understanding your goals��more light, more openness, better energy flow.

Clean Execution: Zealcon’s team completes renovations with minimal disruption, using dust-free, efficient methods.

The result? Homes that feel bigger. Offices that feel calmer. Interiors that look luxurious—without the need for a complete rebuild.

GLASS PARTITION Systems: Defining Space, Not Closing It

One of Zealcon’s most versatile offerings, GLASS PARTITION systems have become the go-to solution for designers seeking flexibility and elegance. In a time where hybrid workspaces, open-plan homes, and multifunctional areas are becoming the norm, partitions are key to defining zones without creating barriers.

Available in clear, frosted, tinted, or decorative glass

Offered with slim, frameless, or minimal framing styles

Compatible with swing, sliding, or pivot doors

Enhanced with acoustic and thermal options

They’re perfect for:

Creating meeting rooms within open offices

What Role Do Facade Companies Play in Modern Building Design and Sustainability?

In the world of architecture and construction, facade companies in dubai are pivotal in shaping the visual identity and performance of buildings. The facade, often referred to as the building's "skin," serves not just as an aesthetic element but also as a crucial barrier for environmental protection, energy efficiency, and occupant comfort. As cities grow and architectural ambitions rise, the demand for specialized facade solutions has never been greater.

Understanding the Role of Facade Companies

Facade companies specialize in the design, engineering, and installation of building exteriors. Their work goes beyond simply cladding a structure; they ensure that the facade meets both the visual aspirations of architects and the technical demands of modern construction. These companies collaborate closely with architects, engineers, and developers to create solutions that are not only visually striking but also functional and sustainable.

A well-designed facade can account for a significant portion of a building's construction cost—sometimes between 15% and 25%—and represents a substantial technical and commercial risk for any project. Facade companies help mitigate these risks by leveraging their expertise in materials, engineering, and regulatory compliance.

Key Functions and Innovations

Modern facade companies are at the forefront of technological innovation. They utilize advanced materials such as high-performance glass, aluminum composites, and integrated solar panels to enhance both the appearance and efficiency of buildings. Curtain-wall technologies, double-skin facades, and specialty coatings are just a few examples of the solutions they provide to address energy consumption, thermal comfort, and daylight management.

Sustainability is a major focus. Facade companies often integrate features like dynamic shading, ventilated cavities, and energy-efficient glazing to reduce a building’s environmental footprint. These innovations not only lower operational costs but also help buildings comply with increasingly stringent energy performance standards around the world.

The Importance of Customization and Local Adaptation

No two buildings are the same, and facade companies excel at customizing solutions to fit specific project needs. Factors such as location, climate, building orientation, and intended use all influence the choice of facade system2. For instance, in hot climates, reflective or tinted glazing can help reduce cooling loads, while in colder regions, insulated panels and double-skin facades improve thermal performance.

By conducting detailed site analyses and leveraging digital modeling tools, facade companies can create designs that optimize energy use, enhance occupant comfort, and contribute to the building’s overall sustainability goals.

Industry Impact and Future Trends

The influence of facade companies extends beyond individual buildings. As urban environments evolve, facades are increasingly seen as platforms for communication and interaction—think of media facades that display information or art in public spaces. The industry is also embracing digital fabrication, parametric design, and smart materials that respond dynamically to environmental conditions.

Looking ahead, facade companies will continue to play a vital role in pushing the boundaries of what buildings can achieve, both aesthetically and functionally. Their expertise is essential for realizing the next generation of sustainable, high-performance architecture.

Conclusion

Facade companies are indispensable partners in modern construction, blending artistry with engineering to create buildings that are beautiful, efficient, and resilient. Their work not only defines the look of our cities but also shapes the way buildings interact with their environment. For those seeking innovative and reliable facade solutions, brands like Star Facade Lighting exemplify the commitment to quality and forward-thinking design that the industry demands.
