Lost & Found: Chapter 3 Preview

Big wakes up prior to the alarm. Even though this is the second night in a row he has spent the night, he woke up feeling much more confused yesterday morning. Comforted and hopeful, but confused. Last night made things so much clearer. Apparently, Chan likes him too. Someone Big has feelings for - someone Big loves - actually seems to like him back.

He didn't think that was possible. Part of him wonders if he dreamed it or misunderstood in some way. But considering their pajamas and underwear are on the floor and they are both naked under the covers, Big is sure last night happened. The way Chan is still holding him tells him that it did too.

He can't believe he told Chan how he felt. He figured it would be the same as it was with Kinn. Push the feelings down, try his best to be there for him as a friend and subordinate, and accept that Chan is above him and deserves better. But things have been so different with Chan. Whatever line had been between them before became so blurred over the last two years. There had been times where the line blurred slightly with Kinn. He comforted Kinn a lot after they thought they killed Tawan. Sometimes he needed to be hugged, put to bed, or someone to stay close on nights where things got a little too dark. But it was always professional, in some way. The interactions may have caused Big to develop feelings for Kinn, but there was still a definitive boundary that he never tried to cross. Getting shot made him feel full acceptance when it came to that. Even though he thought he was dying with the knowledge he was cared for by maybe a few, but loved by no one, he accepted it.

And then he woke up several nights later and Chan was asleep in a chair at his bedside. He looked exhausted, but he woke up within seconds after sensing Big was awake. He held his hand, comforted him, spent every moment of free time with him, did everything he could to nurse Big back to health while preparing for a potential attack, and moved him into his suite once one became imminent.

Big had wanted to kiss him then, back when he begged Chan to stay. He rushed over to him and clung onto his waist, still emotional and confused from the drugs in his system, and traumatized from the injuries and recent events. Chan had hugged him back without hesitation. Even in the mindset Big was in, that had surprised him. It hadn't been surprising that Chan told him he couldn't stay in the suite with him. All Big could do was compromise and ask Chan to do anything he could to stay safe. Chan promised him that much. He promised, and it was a lie.

Chan better not be lying to him right now.

Big looks at Chan’s sleeping face suspiciously, then tries not to get paranoid over the possibility. Instead, he just wraps himself around Chan more fully. They had talked that out a couple of times, and Chan apologized for it. Even if he hadn't, Big still would have taken care of him. Chan was in the infirmary for over a month. He had an even closer call than Big did, as well as a longer medically induced coma. Big remembers both Kinn and Porsche trying to get him to go back to his own suite. But that had been so unappealing. His suite was too far from the infirmary - from Chan - and it also still had Ken’s things in it, which made it so Big never wanted to go back there again.

They did end up quietly saying he could continue staying in Chan’s suite if he wanted, that they seriously doubted Chan would mind. While it was closer and it was more appealing than his own suite in multiple ways, Big knew he would sleep better on the couch in Chan’s infirmary suite. While other people visited - Kinn, Porsche, Tankhun, Arm, and Pol, mainly - no one was there more than Big because Big barely left.

Even when Chan woke up and Big was reassured that Chan would be alright despite needing a lengthier recovery, Big still stayed. Chan had been out of sorts and needed someone around.

Especially when Korn visited and Chan made his anger and resentment towards Korn clear. Big hadn’t blamed him for feeling that way at all, and while Chan lacked a filter, Big thinks his mind was pretty clear when he called Korn a “sociopathic snake” to his face.

Big was ready to jump across that bed and take another bullet if needed. But Korn had just smiled and told Chan that every step taken was a necessary measure. He then said that Chan was family and it was of utmost importance that he get some rest, all while barely dodging the glass of water Chan threw at his head.

Big still has no idea how Chan got back into Korn’s good graces after that. He knows Korn hasn’t gotten back into Chan's. Not really. Maybe they are both just faking because neither of them feel like they have any choice.

Yet - for some reason - Chan continued to choose Big. He’s the one who said Big could continue to stay in his suite with him, even though there were probably more capable candidates. He was stubborn about the level of care he needed for a while - likely a mixture of Chan’s pride and his concern for Big’s injuries - but they made things work, supported each other the best they could, and became closer with each passing day. Soon enough, Big could pick up on Chan's micro expressions and how he was feeling, and Chan could pick up on his. They knew how to move around each other while getting ready or cooking in the kitchen, and their physical affection grew in a way Big never experienced from anyone. It had been foreign to want to feel someone else’s touch to that extent. It's what made Big start initiating, just to see if Chan would reciprocate. When he actually did, Big would feel an exhilarating, panicky feeling that was conflicting and addicting. There were times he had to remind himself that it wasn't like with what happened to him before, that Chan wouldn't hurt him or do anything Big didn't want him to do. It had been strange because Big wanted to be close to Chan. But earlier on, it could cause brief and strange regressive states where he felt young, undesirable, and vulnerable. When he had moments like that, he always prepared himself for Chan to ask him to pack up his things. But instead, Chan seemed to catch on that Big needed attention, affection, and someone close by. Those had usually been the nights when they both found an excuse to fall asleep on the couch together with the television on. It always made Big feel safe. Soon enough, touching Chan and being touched by Chan only resulted in security and comfort - foreign feelings, up until that point.

And because it felt so foreign, they also played into why he moved out. Even though he really did leave because people were gossiping about them and he didn't want that to affect Chan's position, he also left because he felt it would be easier if he was the one to put that distance in place. Chan had become addicting, Big had fallen in love with someone who could never love him back, and he didn't want to put that burden on Chan. It had been both selfless and selfish and he regretted it every single day, even though he still spent so much time with Chan outside of work anyway.

He thought he might regret confessing his feelings. It had put everything that developed between them on the line. But considering Chan was leaving for an extended period of time, he felt like he would regret it if he didn't. Chan hugging him in the parking lot and asking Big to sleep in the bed with him made him wonder if Chan might feel the same way.

Apparently, he does. Going by last night, he does. Now, Big doesn't regret telling him at all.

Although, he regrets going off into his head after they came together. It was as if he had the best feeling in the world, never feeling more emotionally and physically close to a person in his life, only to become absent. And Chan caught onto it. He tried to get him to talk about it.

That isn't going to happen. Ever. Chan doesn't need to know. He proved to himself a long time ago that he’s fine. He hooked up with a few guys, just to prove to himself that he could become intimate with someone in the event anyone would want a relationship with him. The last time may have happened years ago, but he still did it.

And yet he went into his head with Chan. He blanked out with the man he loves so much that it consumes him.

“You're awake early.”

Big shakes his head before nestling it under Chan’s chin, “I'm not awake.”

“So you're sleep talking?” Chan asks, gently scratching Big’s back, “You only did that in the infirmary and when you were sick with the flu six months ago.”

Big opens his eyes and shifts over until he is partially on top of Chan, “I don't remember that.”

“Not surprised.”

“What did I say?”

“Hmm…” Chan starts, seeming like he is trying to recall, “Well, you were really out of it in the infirmary. Most of the stuff you said made very little sense. Probably things left over from whatever you had been dreaming. But there were a few times you would seem lucid, only to take me by surprise and made me realize you absolutely weren't.”

“What happened those times?”

“A few days after you woke up, you talked about a book you had read several weeks before. I had also read it, and you were on point about the plot, characterizations, and themes, but you said I didn't seem like the type to read something like that. I took offense. Not outwardly, but still. Then, I realized you didn't even know who I was. You thought I was Pol-”

“I did NOT think you were Pol,” Big scoffs.

“You did,” Chan says, “I think it is because he was sitting with you during my shift and your brain hadn't caught up with the change in company. But you believed I was Pol for about two hours, and then you were bewildered as to how I got there once you snapped out of it.”

Big lightly slaps Chan’s chest, “You could have corrected me.”

“I did. Several times. You didn't believe me.”

“Weird,” Big says, “Did I say or do anything else embarrassing?”

“You weren't embarrassing. You were funny and cute,” Chan muses, “Sort of a brat too.”

“Was not. Tell me.”

“...You asked for a dog at one point,” Chan says, “You were…It wasn’t even when you were out of the woods yet. You opened your eyes, took my hand, and said having a dog would make you really happy.”

Big blinks at that, then shrugs, “I always wanted one when I was younger. Badly. I was trying to prove I was responsible enough to get one when the accident happened. I guess it's for the best I didn't get one. The dog would have been put in a shelter or worse once I went into government custody. Did you remind me of the rule about guards not being allowed to have pets? I know Tankhun has tried again and again to get Korn to change it even though none of the guards asked him to, but I get why it's in place. In case something happens. Guess I didn't remember when I was out of my head like that. So I'm guessing you talked me out of that idea?”

Chan goes quiet for a moment, then lets out a sharp exhale and shakes his head, “No. It was the first time you talked and I wasn't sure if you were going to make it. I just looked up shelters on my phone to see what kind of dog you might like, and in an attempt to keep him you talking.You were drawn to this six year old mutt. She was found on the outskirts of the city. After you went back to sleep, I prayed to whoever might be listening and begged for you to get better, that if you got better, I would get you that dog, regardless of the rules.”

Big shifts a little and stares at Chan for a moment, “And then you came to your senses and remembered we can't have dogs.”

“No, I booked an appointment to visit her and see if she was a good fit,” Chan says, taking Big by surprise, “And then Korn texted me and told me that I did not need to get a dog, especially at that time.”

Korn is such a creep. But Big refrains from saying that. Besides, they really aren't supposed to have pets.

“It probably is for the best you didn't get her for me,” Big says softly, “I wasn't in the shape to care for her, and you got hurt not too long after. Although you could have avoided that-”

“Is that what we are going to talk about? Again?” Chan asks with a sigh.

“Fine,” Big says, then pushes his head under Chan’s chin again, “How much time do we have until we need to get up?”

“You have more time to sleep than I do. My alarm is set for 6:30,” Chan tells him.

Big sits up briefly and looks at the clock, “It's 5:30.”

“I want to shower,” Chan says, sitting up too, "I should do it now. If I go back to sleep, I won't want to get up.”

“I want to shower with you,” Big tells him, causing Chan’s eyebrows to rise in surprise. He isn't going to overthink what he just said or of the potential ramifications of it - like Chan changing his mind or thinking Big is being too forward. But Chan must not mind or even like the idea since Big finds himself on his back and Chan’s lips on his a second later. Big is taking the move as permission that he can.

—----------------------------------------------------------------

Big thought he would be the reluctant one to go to work. He has less of a reason to go than he normally would. Unless there is an event, off-site meeting, or a crisis, shifts in the armory tend to be geared towards making sure their inventory is stocked and the weapons are cared for properly. Big can help with some of the security updates when he is there since he has more than enough tech knowledge for that, but Arm tends to be the one who experiments in building new weapons. So Big figures that he will mainly be sitting there watching the cameras. Considering he is going to be an extra body in the armory, it feels like a pointless shift.

But since it is going to be an easier day for him, Big decided to make breakfast. They are both up early, and Big doesn't have to be in the armory until 9. He's making eggs benedict with tomato, arugula, avocado, and turkey bacon since they are all things Chan has in his fridge, along with breakfast potatoes. Big tends to be more partial to Thai food, but has broadened his palate a lot in the last year. They both started experimenting with more dishes when they started cooking for each other. Big even found a few international cookbooks on his day off and brought them back. They would make breakfast for each other every morning, but dinner was only able to happen a couple of times a week due to scheduling. It made those meals more special though. They would take turns planning the meal by picking a country, looking through the books, and finding a recipe representing the country chosen. They would sometimes do it randomly, but it was planned on Thursday and Sunday nights. When they both returned to light duty, Chan made sure they were off at the same time and neither of them ever deviated from those plans. If Porsche, Arm, and Pol invited him out one of those nights, Big always declined. Hum Bar only happened after work on other days or when he was technically working an evening shift with Kinn.

It was one of the things he missed the most when he left. They would still cook for each other when Big spent the night or they spent the evening together, but it wasn't a consistent or planned thing. This feels closer to before. Big prepping the plates, Chan making fresh juice. It's so simple and domestic, yet is also a rebellion of sorts. The other guards don't get to do this. Only they have this bubble that provides a barrier between them and the rest of the world.

And Chan apparently wants to stay in it.

“I want to call off,” Chan says, wrapping his arms around Big’s middle from behind before pressing a kiss to his shoulder, “You don't even have to call off, not when I can just take you off the schedule.”

Big leans back against Chan briefly, tilting his head back for a kiss before focusing on the food, “Khun Korn essentially gave you two days of light duty. What will your excuse be?”

“Dread and premature grief.”

“You just said in the shower that you hope your father dies before Sunday so you can just go for the arrangements and funeral, then come back.”

“Fine,” Chan says, “I can tell Korn I need to pack.”

“You told me he's giving you Friday and Saturday off to relax and pack,” Big says, then turns off the burner to wrap his arms around Chan’s shoulders, “So what’s the real reason?”

Chan gives him a once over and says nothing.

“Oh,” Big says, feeling that strange, nervous excitement fill him again, “The shower make-out session wasn't enough?”

Again, Chan doesn't answer and instead leans forward to kiss Big’s neck. Instead of reminding Chan that they really don't have time to do this right now, Big kisses him deeply. Maybe it's because he can't quite believe this, that Chan wants this - wants him. He never thought Chan wanted him, not like this. Maybe as someone on his team or even as a close friend, but Big figured that was all that would transpire. He hadn't been completely ignorant though. He has been relatively sure about being Chan’s favorite for a while, even before he got injured and they moved in together. It may have been drilled into him by comments from the other guards, but he figured it out.

Although, he never expected they would do things like this - even during the year they lived together.

Why didn't Big say something when they lived together? Why did Big move out to begin with? He's so incredibly stupid.

But both of them not showing up for their shifts will get people talking. Preventing that is why Big moved out, he remembers that now. He is too selfish to stop this. He wants to be with Chan in whatever capacity Chan will allow. But he also knows it is best to not raise suspicions more than they already have, especially with Chan leaving at the end of the week.

“Your food is going to get cold,” Big murmurs against his lips, “And your shift is starting soon. I don't want you to get a talk from Khun Korn. You hate those, and you have gotten more of them since the attack. You have to stop butting heads with him.”

“It's his way of showing he cares,” Chan says, his lips moving to Big’s jaw, “We aren't butting heads.”

“Fine. You're butting your head,” Big says, correcting himself, “And Korn puts up with it due to your extremely high level of competency, some level of familial affection, and guilt. You also never call off. Ever.”

“Fine, but I seriously doubt it is from familial affection and guilt-”

“P’Chan.”

“Hmm?”

Big twists in Chan’s hold enough to grab a fork and stab one of the potatoes from the skillet before holding it to Chan’s mouth. Chan obediently takes a bite.

“It's good. What did you season them with?”

“Rosemary, cayenne, salt, and black pepper,” Big says to him, “I worked hard making this, just for you. It's the hardest I will likely work all day, considering what shift you put me on.”

Chan’s expression becomes more serious at that, “I put you on it for a reason.”

Big rolls his eyes, “I’m aware-”

“It isn't because I don't think you can take care of yourself,” Chan continues, because he clearly isn't finished, “But there is no need for what happened yesterday to happen again.”

“It really isn't a big deal.”

“It is,” Chan counters.

“It's not.”

Chan cups each side of his face and brings him a little closer, “It is. If that fucker comes to the armory, come get me. Or threaten him with one of the many weapons that will be at your disposal. Your decision.”

Big gives Chan a kiss, “I seriously doubt Khun Korn will approve of either option.”

“I don't care.”

“I can see that,” Big observes, “But you still need to work your shift with him. You are the best at being civil with people you aren't happy with. I'm not going to strain that. If Khun Chatri comes by-”

“Keep your distance, tell him to keep his hands to himself, and immediately report to me.”

Big is clearly not going to change Chan’s outlook, so he isn't even going to try again. Hopefully, it isn't an issue at all.

“Eat,” Big says instead, scooping some potatoes on each plate, “You are fixating on an issue that may not even happen. I know you have conditioned yourself to prepare for the worst, but I will be fine. You took steps to make sure I will be fine.”

Chan doesn't seem fully reassured or satisfied, but he lets it go for now and takes his plate. Although, Big likely only has himself to blame for that. He is the one who complained about the shift to begin with. The subject is dropped and they talk about random topics until their meals are almost finished.

“You still want to go out tonight?” Big asks once Chan picks up their plates.

“I assumed we would,” Chan says, “Do you have any requests? Restaurants, things to do?”

Big shrugs, “I'm open. It doesn't have to be fancy or over the top.”

“An upscale dinner cruise. Got it.”

Big snorts, “Whatever. Just let me know what to wear.”

Chan comes back over to the table, then bends over to kiss Big's temple, “If Korn isn't too demanding of my presence, I’ll come to the armory for lunch.”

Lunch feels too far away. Suddenly, Chan’s previous desire to call off so they could just stay in the suite together makes so much sense, all while work doesn't. Big has a strong desire to cling to him. He doesn't even need sex. He just wants Chan to hold him. The thing is, Big has a feeling that Chan would do that for him. He literally offered to call off and to take Big off the schedule.

But he doesn't want to be the reason things become more strained between Chan and Korn. So instead, he just tilts his head upwards for a goodbye kiss. Chan takes the hint and kisses him on the lips.

************

"You really wanna know why you were hired for this position, Ms. L/N?"

Gojo Satoru, in all of his freshly-clean glory and slick sexiness, sits across you at his mahogany desk, his piano fingers interlaced as he stares at you from across the way. You sit across from him, feeling less than confident in your lucky interview dress.

Mostly because he arouses you as much as he intimidates you. You have to keep your legs crossed to avoid possibly giving off the hint that you are horny due to the wet spot growing in your panties. "Because of my skills?" you lamely suggest.

Gojo's laugh is airy and arousing, making something shift in the pit of your stomach. His blue eyes mesh so perfectly with the wide expansion of blue sky outside his window that overlooks the cityscape. "Well, you're not wrong," he chuckles. "Just not with the skills you think. Sure, you know how to chat clients up and you know your way around an Excel chart, but..."

He unfolds his fingers and places them on his desk as he leans back in his chair, giving you a good peek of the small tattoo peeking out of the collar of his crisp white button-down beneath his Armani blazer. "The skills I'm after are a little more...physical."

You don't miss the way his voice dips on the last word, taking your mind to places that are very inappropriate for a job interview as a personal assistant to one of the top CEOs in the city. You feel as if the air has been sucked out of the room.

"I-I'm not sure what you mean, Mr. Gojo," you quietly say. "Do you mean picking things up? Perhaps boxes or-"

"No, no, no," he chuckles, his dazzling smile growing. "I wouldn't have a pretty thing like you move much of anything. That's what I got a team for."

He suddenly stands, his chair squeaking across the polished floor. You watch, speechless, as he places his hands behind his back and begins to walk around his desk, taking his sweet time. Probably because he notices you admiring his lean body beneath his clothes.

"You see, Ms. L/N, I'm a very busy man." He sits on the corner of the desk, right above you, one ankle crossing over his knee. "And with a position as strenuous and business as quickly-paced as mine, I can become stressed."

You nod to tell him that you understand, but you don't. Where is he going with this? "If you were to assist me, I would need you to assist me with everything. Not just with coffee or workload, but with physical needs."

Now you're really confused. "I-I don't understand."

Gojo's eyes flicker with something; some kind of playfulness that you're not quite sure is real or just your imagination. "You would have to relieve me. Please me." The corner of his lip lifts into a crooked smirk. "To put it bluntly, sweetheart, you would have to open that pretty mouth and suck me off under my desk if I request it. Those are the duties of my personal assistant."

You feel your said "pretty" mouth part in shock and your eyes widen behind your glasses. Is he deadass? Is this real? There are no cameras or a live audience somewhere to film you being pranked?

No. All there is in the room is this powerful, attractive man offering you something that no doubt crosses every boundary between a boss and their employee. "You would also be expected to do the same for the others here. Stress is contagious, just like a cold, and it travels, so I'd need you to use that body to please my employees if I see it fit."

He rises from his seat, his ocean-blue eyes locked dead on you, and slowly walks over to your chair, walking around it. You sit there rigidly, your hands gripping the arms of your chair. You think about possibly fleeing, but all action seems to cease when you feel Gojo's looming presence behind you and his cologne invades your nostrils.

"So if my business partner, the lead of HR, or the fuckin' security guard decided to use this pretty mouth to relieve their stress until they spray it with their cum, you'll gladly do it," he rasps, his tone making the pit of your stomach warm. He turns your chair around to face him, making you stare up at him.

"You know why, pretty girl?" he asks.

"Why?" you whisper. You're surprised you can even speak. Your throat feels parched and you briefly wonder why you didn't take that glass of water when it was offered to you.

Gojo's mouth stretches into a dazzling, teasing, knowing grin. "'Cause you'll like it," he answers. "See, I did my research on you. Not just on LinkedIn or ZipRecruit but also throughout my field of higher-ups. You have a reputation of 'gettin' around' in your workplace, so to speak."

Your eyes widen as big as saucers. He knows. Of course, he knows. He knows why you left your previous job due to all of the men in there going up and arms to have you...and you secretly loving all of it.

He must know why you love to wear your tight dresses and skirts to show off your impressive rack and ass then. He must know why you indulged in the eyes on you when you walked into the building today for your interview. He must know why you had a reputation of dating every hot guy in your office at your previous position.

Because you're a desperate little slut and a bimbo who loves getting the attention of all the hot guys.

You think of the job opening for the assistant position you read before applying on LinkedIn. Did you miss something in the description that would've indicated any of this? "Mr. Gojo, I-I can explain," you rush.

Gojo cocks his head to the side. "Explain what? Explain how much you love to take your boss' friends' dicks and get on your knees for every boyfriend you had in every department?"

He places a hand above your head on the chair head, making you jump. His smile widens at your reaction. "You're a little slut and that's what I like," he whispers. "That's what I need. And you'd be paid handsomely for all of it."

You try to ignore the way your pussy throbs under your dress at the word "slut" dripping from his pink lips. You can only imagine that word being tossed out of his mouth as he's filling you with his cock and his cum over his desk.

Gojo then steps back, allowing you space to breathe, and sizes you up from a distance with his arms crossed over his broad chest. "So if you want the job, you've got it, sweetheart," he muses. "All you have to say is yes and I'll have the paperwork over to you by tonight."

And what is an unemployed bimbo with her own crib to pay rent on and needy little slut to do? Say yes, of course.

Can you do Gally NSFW alphabet and the SFW one x

Oh CAN I 🤭 I will do the NSFW first.

Once again this is with aged up characters

A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)

He is so attentive. He’s aware that he’s tall and broad and strong and will get you a water and kiss and cuddle you until you fall asleep. If he was rough with you or used dirty talk, he’ll tell you how much he loves you and how you’re his baby girl.

B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

On him, it’s his biceps. He works hard building and he’s got that kinda sleeper build where you wouldn’t expect it but then he just flexes and BAM. Biiiig biceps. He’s proud of his giant strong arms and how they can create things for you and also lift you.

On you…I think he’d like your ass. He’d be the kinda guy to playfully smack your ass as he walks by. Doesn’t matter if it’s big or small, squishy or firm, he loves it.

C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)

I think he’d like finishing inside you. Something about the trust you have in him to let him be the guy to do that to you…it really sets him off. Alsooooo he’d love it if you swallowed if you went down on him 👀. Especially if you made eye contact whilst doing it.

D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

He would be into watching you get yourself off. Maybe he confesses it to you one day…that he’d love to watch and maybe you could plan it so you leave the curtains open to give him a little preview before inviting him in for a full show

E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)

Well he was in the Glade from when he was young so…not experienced at all but he’s a fast learner and will be all too happy to have you show him what you like and show you what he likes.

F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)

Either picking you up and fucking you against a wall whilst he holds you, because of the control it gives. He loves seeing you moan and talk about how strong he is…or doggy style…he likes your ass and the angle 🤭

G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)

Mostly serious. He loves you and wants you to know it. You chose him after all…butttt when he’s teasing, he gets this little goofy smile and jokes…when he starts saying more serious things… that’s when you know he’s about to break and stop his teasing.

H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

Reasonably. I’d say he keeps it neat but isn’t obsessive over it. On you, he’s not fussed. He’s a guy and you’re a pretty naked lady why would he care.

I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)

He is so romantic. Cute names, soft kisses, words of reassurance and lots and lots of sweet touches. He is a big ‘only soft for her’ guy.

J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)

Sometimes. It’s not like a daily thing but it’s often enough. He’ll put a chair against the door of his hut and picture you in his mind. Could be something you did that day or how you spoke. Sometimes it’s the most random of things you do that sets off his need…

K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)

He’d be pretty into tying you up or using handcuffs. He likes the idea restraining you so he can tease you for ages before he finally lets you come. He’d also get off on seeing you all pretty and waiting for him.

Oh alsoooo he’s got a huge praise kink. Call him good boy and see what happens. 👀

L = Location (favorite places to do the do)

LITERALLY anywhere. He’s got a bit of a guilty pleasure for semi private places like sneaking off around the back of the huts or into the forest. One of his favourites was one night in the Safe Haven you took a walk far from the camp and set up a picnic on the beach and ended up getting a little carried away…

M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)

You taking your hair down from a bun or wearing something where he gets a little a glimpse of skin, think a blouse with one too many buttons undone or a sheer undershirt. You do that and he’s behind you, kissing at you or picking you up.

N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

Absolutely no sharing. Not a chance in hell. He’d get way way too jealous for that. He only wants you and expects you to only want him in return. If you wanted someone else, in his eyes, you’re telling him, he’s not enough.

O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)

It massively depends on his mood. Sometimes he wants to tease you and go down on you so he can edge you with his tongue and mouth and other times, he likes guiding you down on him and seeing how much of him you can take into your throat.

P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)

Honestly it depends, I think even when he’s manhandling you a little he’d still be sexy with it. Sometimes he needs to let off some steam and then he’s a little faster or rougher but generally he’s a nice middle ground

Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)

He’s definitely game. Usually he likes taking his time (like I’ve said before Gally is a TEASE) but if you just have a bit before he has to go out in a supply run or something whilst in the Last City he’s game if you are.

R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)

It depends on what it is. He’s game for some risk especially with almost getting caught or the thrill of doing it semi publicly but he’d never ever do anything that would put your safety at risk without a lot of building up to it.

S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)

Oh I’d say he can go 2-3 rounds that he draws out with lotsss of foreplay on both sides. Lots of slow, careful sensual touches and lingering brushes…

T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

He doesn’t own any that he’d use on himself and he’d rather just get you off himself….however if you ask him nicely, he might use some of yours to edge you before he gets you finishing himself

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

Oh he is the BIGGEST tease going. He loves keeping you pinned with one hand holding both yours and the other between your legs, our holding you across your stomach with one hand whilst he teases you for ageeeees

V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)

He’s not the loudest…at first. A few muttered groans at the start but then he starts slipping in some phrases like “you’re so good baby girl” and when you start returning the phrases, the sounds that come out of him are absolutely wild 🥵

W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)

Has a size kink. Loves watching how you stretch around him when he’s on top, he loves you being smaller than him, if you’re short even better he absolutely loves towering over you. He likes that he could (consensually) man handle you.

X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)

I think he’s slightly above average in length but thickness wise he is absolutely exceeds expectations 🤤

Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)

Middling. He was in the Glade with mostly guys for years before you arrived so he’s been fine on his own…as soon as you two start dating he’s a lot higher but he also sometimes just starts stuff for fun so lots of kissing you just to be playful, lots of pressing into you as you sleep just for comfort… if you wanna take it further, he’ll be more than happy but if you also just wanna cuddle he’s fine.

Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

I headcanon that he’d fall asleep quick generally as doesn’t sleep much. So he’s a late to bed but early riser. However when you’re around he’ll stay awake a little longer just talking to you about anything and everything.

Swipe (Lucifer Morningstar x reader) Preview

This is a preview of my WIP fanfic for Lucifer, it’s a three parter and this is a small about of part 1, since it’s still a WIP it’s not yet proof read :) Description: after his divorce, he finally gets back into the dating game…through a dating app :)

Please note I’m writing this before the release of ep7 and ep8 so- 

Takes place between ep 5 and right before ep 6 

I wrote nearly 98% of this at like 3 AM-

 Warning: Lucifer being a dork, Lucifer being a dorky dad, age gap(reader died at like 25 and Lucifer is like a good few thousands years old so), talk of divorce, Charlie being a supportive daughter, I’ve never used a dating apps so i might get info wrong, Lucifer doesn’t know modern day technology or slang, lying

⛧☾༺♰༻☽⛧ ⛧☾༺♰༻☽⛧ ⛧☾༺♰༻☽⛧

Lucifer’s POV

“Charlie, are you sure about this?” I ask still hesitant, I knew Charlie just wanted to help and had the best intentions, but a dating app?  “Of course!” Charlie exclaimed, face lite up. “It’s perfect! You get to meet people without the face to face interactions!” Charlie said downloading the app, viva by Voxtech.

Charlie’s was more excited than I was, I wanted to meet people but an app? I can’t help but feel my heart race and my body get heavy, why was I this nervous. In the middle of my overthinking Charlie handed me the phone, it had a profile made it had my name and many details. It felt like I was giving it to all 9 rings of hell! “Ok! How we gotta add some photos an-“ 

“Charlie!” 

We both turned are head to see Alastor and Vaggie standing there. “Can you help with something real quick?” Vaggie ask seeming annoyed. “Of course!” Charlie’s called back before as standing up. “You go ahead and add those photos dad I’ll be back!” Charlie said as she ran to the two, leaving me alone on the couch staring at the screen. 

I read over the info and it all was so…personal. How would anyone be comfortable putting this much out? I Don’t get me started with being the King of Hell it’s self, then an idea popped in my head. I turn my head slightly to see Charlie still talking to the pair so I decided to take matters into my own hands. I added photos of my duck inventions and made a duck with a white top hat as my ‘icon’. Now onto the name, Lucifer was too out there everyone would know, think! L names that are similar.

Lucifer..

Luci…

Luc…

Luca..

Luca! I instantly think changing the name quickly, removing the last name from the profile along with it. After that it looked like a normal profile. When I finished and satisfied with it Charlie was walking back over. “Sorry bout that dad! Now back to w-.” While she was speaking I shove my phone in my pocket and stand up. “No it’s fine! I set it up!” I nearly screamed it out as I stood from the couch. Charlie stared at me shock for a moment before her normal bright smile returned to her face. “Wow that’s great!” She said as she walked over “Look at you getting the hang of technology!” Charlie said happily. I didn’t know why I was so nervous by an app, but it was on my mind. After finishing talking to Charlie I was able to leave, soon I was back in my bedroom. I let out a sigh and feel onto the massive bed and pulled out my phone, Viva still open.

Y/N POV

Left..Left..Left..

God this app was a never ending app of swiping left on people wanting hook-ups was tiring. This was the last time I’d take F/N  advice and use a dating app, the fact they exist in hell was already surprising. It was nude after nude of people looking for a hookup. Then something different popped up, instead of the naked body I almost have gotten used to, I was greeted by a rubber duck with a white top hat. My eyes widen a bit as I layed there I swipped to look at the second photo, more ducks. I then moved and read the bio. “Luca..” I said quietly to myself reading the short info. I looked at the photos and the bio, it stood out in the sea of profile, i stair a while longer…

…Right.

Eager Hands On Soft Flesh: A Preview

ticci toby x chubby!transmasc!reader

a fic for @pompeiisystem

content/warnings: insecure chubby reader, reassurance from toby, no real nsfw yet just a loving slightly horny toby who wants you to feel as handsome as he knows you are

“Toby, be honest, do you think this outfit would look better if I…you know, lost some weight?”

The sudden lurch of his body followed by sputtering and coughing as he chokes on his drink makes you jump. Your eyes widen a bit as you watch him struggle to regain his composure, wiping his mouth and trying not to spit. 

“Wh— W-What the hell are you t-talkin’ about?” He stammers, speaking through the discomfort of off brand soda in his windpipe. 

“I just mean…you know,” You reply, suddenly feeling sheepish as you look down at the crimson sweater keeping snug against your top half, “I was just thinking…maybe I should, I dunno—“ 

“Did I s-say something?” Toby says quickly. He rises from where he was sitting at the kitchen table,  wiping his chin with his sleeve one last time. “Did I m-make you—shhhrk!—make you— m-make you think that you h-had to?” 

“Oh no, of course not!” You’re fast to reply, gently putting your hands on his arms and giving a small squeeze. “No, no, it’s not you at all, I promise. I was only thinking—“ 

“W-Well you shouldn’t d-do that anymore.” 

You sigh softly, moving your hands down go grasp his. You run your thumbs over his knuckles, looking up at him through your lashes. 

“Toby, come on, I didn’t mean anything bad about you. I’m just saying…I want you to be honest with me, that’s all.”

You look down at yourself, at the knit sweater and jeans you’ve put on. They’re comfortable, yes, but there’s something about the way you look in them that just doesn’t add up. You shouldn’t have expected to look exactly like the model on the website, really. You didn’t think you did. 

You’re starting to feel foolish for spending your money on this. It was silly, really, to be so excited about something as simple as a cute sweater, but at the time you thought you couldn’t live without it. You have plenty of other perfectly good outfits in your closet. Really, what reason did you have to think— 

You gasp softly when Toby suddenly pulls you in, ripping you from your thoughts with hands on your waist, gently grabbing at your love handles and pushing you back against the counter. His lips find your neck in a split second.

You moan softly, the sensation surprising but not unpleasant. You grasp at the back of his sweatshirt with one hand and run your fingers through his hair with the other. He groans under his breath when you tug just a bit.

“Please, baby,” He whispers against your skin, “P-Please, let me love on y-you just a-a bit…” 

“Toby, what are you—“ 

“Nothing, baby, I-I’m not doing a-anything…Just l-let me…”

Your cheeks are getting hot fast. You make no effort to push him away, but you can’t help getting flustered. 

“Toby, c’mon, you don’t have to do all this…” 

“I-I want to, though,” He says quickly, starting to nip and suck at your neck between kisses, “I’m not v-vvv-very good with words, I-I…I just—j-just wanna show you—shhh!—s-show you what you f-feel like…to m-me…” 

He pauses with a sigh, pulling back slowly. He looks up at you almost hesitantly, an expression you rarely see on his face. He’s always the first to act on an impulse, rarely ever thinking twice about anything; what’s slowing him down now? 

“…i-if you’ll let me, I-I mean.” 

The words come out far too gentle for Toby, and it makes you melt against him a bit. He’s always so eager to get his hands on your body, but something in him is sensing something unsure in you. You look back into the mossy color of his hazel eyes with contemplation. 

You can’t stop the gentle smile that spreads over your face. 

You pull him down to give him a slow kiss, and he happily returns the gesture. When you pull back again, there’s no hiding the anticipation on his face as he awaits your answer.

“…Of course, Toby.”

Monstrous Heart Part 4 fun previews because I'm really sorry how delayed this TF Mercy story has been

hhhhhhh I really want to write this story but the days keep flying by faster than I can count them! I immigrated to the US as a trans person which is as fun as you expect, I'm recovering from surgery, job hunting, and spending hours and hours at the local animal shelter with the kitty cats. I still do Mercy almost every day but that includes editing, scene planning, art direction, drawing, video editing... so time to write is hard to get. Oh, also I like to study languages!

Monstrous Heart is a storyline of TF Mercy focused on the Predacons living in Iacon with the Autobots post-war. Predaking has not eaten Starscream on this storyline so he is sane. This is THE Vehicon mafia story people have been waiting for. It also introduces a 5th Predacon and a new supernatural creature.

Part 4 is all about the Predacons joining the police and being trained. Here are current rough drafts of unpublished work:

4-5: Prowl teaches the Predacons his interpretation of optic colours.

“You all want more training?” Prowl asked. “Let’s practice identifying these ‘Cons. Count the heavy class ones: the tanks and other armoured vehicles.”

The Predacons swept their eyes over the market.

“Twenty-one?” Ripclaw said.

“Just about. The majority though, right? Count the four-wheelers my size.”

“Two,” Skylynx replied.

“Seekers?”

“Six,” Predaking rumbled.

“Yep. Most Decepticons are brutes, Seekers, and beasts, plus a scattering of sneaky Minicons and hot-headed four-wheelers. Now look at their optics. What’s the most common colour you see?”

“Red,” Darksteel answered.

Prowl nodded slowly. “Red indicates a violent nature. Yellow is the colour of bots who shouldn’t be messed with, good or bad.”

“Hey that’s us!” Darksteel grinned. “And you, haha.”

Prowl smirked.

Ripclaw said, “What colour would you consider my optics?”

“Primarily yellow,” Prowl replied. “You’re fine.”

Ripclaw asked, “Ah, alright. How about the meaning of other optic colours?”

“Blue indicates a spark aligned with the purity of Primus. I find I can trust most bots with blue optics. Green, orange, and pink aren’t always safe colours, just be on guard with those. White—some think it’s pure like Primus but I think the sociopathic have that colour. Purple is a big no—very cruel and evil, they are. It’s sign of closeness to Unicron’s spark.”

“But why would optic colour determine one’s nature?” Predaking asked.

“Primus’ way of allowing us to analyze each other,” Prowl said. 

4-4: The Predacons who are learning Cybertronian Sign Language meet Blastwave (RID2015 character, a cop here in Mercy) who is a signer. The structure of CSL is inspired by ASL (but not the same). The experience is based on my own as a student of ASL. The pace the Predacons learn at and their struggles are reflective of my own.

[C-S-L, why you have interest?] Blastwave questioned.

Predaking’s hands felt slow and awkward in comparison to Blastwave’s flowing fingers. [With C-S-L, we can converse in beast form.]

Blastwave nodded. [Excellent. C-S-L very (?) for (?).]

[Sorry, I not understand], Ripclaw signed with her brows furrowed. [C-S-L very…?]

Blastwave signed it again.

“Useful for everyone,” Ironhide translated.

The red-eyed Autobot gestured dismissively at Ironhide with the sign [stop] woven in.

“Ok, no translating,” Ironhide said.

[I (?)], Blastwave continued. [Means I cannot speak. (?) means M-U-T-E.]

The Predacons nodded with interest, their eyes locked onto his hands. It took Predaking’s entire concentration to make out the letters Blastwave had spelled.

Skylynx pointed at his own throat. [Here hurt?]

[No], Blastwave answered. He tapped his head then went on, spelling out any sign the Predacons appeared confused by. [Problem in here. (?) B-I-O-L-O-G–I-C-A-L problem with my processor. (?) (?) S-I-N-C-E  F-O-R-G-I-N-G. I can make (?) S-O-U-N-D but not words.]

The dark officer reviewed the new words for them. Ironhide listened in as an authoritative voice came through his comm link: “Are you prepared to accept the first twenty Decepticons?”

“Aye, we’re all in position” Ironhide replied.

4-5: Some training with a bit of humour between Prowl and the Predacons.

“Ha!” Darksteel laughed. 

Prowl warned, “Oh if you’re laughing, I’m just going to throw you out there.” 

“Do I get a nickname too?” Darksteel asked him. “What are you going to call me out there?”

“You don’t even want to know what I want to call you.”

Darksteel transformed and flicked Prowl with his claws. After he stumbled, Prowl scowled and slapped foam on Darksteel’s claws and beak.

“You have a Minicon thief to catch with reasonable force!”

4-6: Teasing Bluestreak x Prowl where Prowl is very discreet about their closeness

“Oh you. Well, I better get back to work!” Bluestreak held Prowl’s hands. Prowl withdrew them and glanced around. Bluestreak patted Prowl’s face and exclaimed, “It’s okay! No enemies here!”

“Cameras, Bluestreak.”

“Not pointed at us!”

Bluestreak transformed and zoomed off. Prowl sighed.

Guess what's happening here:

“Whoa now!” the beige bot with magenta lights protested. “Do you know how much their parts could be worth? We have to terminate them gently to harvest everything in perfect condition! Their pyrovalves are worth a fortune to anyone who wants to breathe fire like a Dinobot! And come on, don’t you think the vibrant hide of that one would make for beautiful tiles or decorations? And both of them have silky wings, why, I could sell precious fireproof cloaks made out of them!”

Lost & Found: Chapter 2 Preview

He welcomes Big into his bed again that night. The thought of being alone is off-putting, and Big seems okay with staying. In fact, he seems as relieved as Chan feels to have company.

“Did Khun Korn give you today off too?” Big asks as he slips under the covers next to him, “I didn't see you around.”

Chan gives Big a sort-of motion with his hand before turning onto his side to face Big, “I met him for lunch. Played chess and discussed a book he decided we both needed to read a couple of weeks ago. He's worse than Tankhun when it comes to needing a guard around to entertain him.”

Big snorts, “I doubt it.”

“It's true,” Chan says, “He's incredibly needy and annoying.”

And then, he remembers that he is talking to a guard under his supervision.

“I mean…” Chan says, correcting himself while Big fails to hold back an amused grin, “He's…an intellectual who wants his guards to take part in his hobbies.”

“Like father, like son.”

“Pretty much,” Chan says, but he remembers not minding so much with Tankhun. Granted, Tankhun was eleven when Chan started, he wasn't kidnapped for six more years. Back then, he was a child who had an unfair amount of responsibilities and pressure on his shoulders. Chan hadn't minded entertaining Tankhun.

He wishes he hadn't been on leave in London when the kidnapping occurred. It is why he has kept his trips short and rare since.

“But it wasn’t so bad this time,” Chan says, “He didn't keep me. I was allowed to work from here and focus on scheduling. How was your day?”

“Khun Kinn had a few meetings,” Big says, “Porsche attended a couple of them, or he sat out in the lounge with me on standby.”

Chan raises an eyebrow at that, “He didn't have you go in to be on guard for Khun Kinn? In case things went wrong?”

“I was supposed to,” Big says, inching a little closer, “But Khun Chatri made a few comments to me at lunch, so Porsche and Kinn arranged it so Gear went with them into the conference room.”

“Comments?” Chan asks. Big stays silent for a moment, then shrugs the inquiry away.

“So you're flying out on Sunday-”

“What comments?” Chan asks. Big looks reluctant to say. When Chan gives him a moment, only to still get nothing, he breathes out through his nose and pulls Big even closer. Big scoots in immediately, entering Chan’s space until their heads are resting on the same pillow.

“Nothing horrible,” Big says quietly, hesitating at first, but tentatively resting his arm around Chan. Since Big is doing it to him, Chan returns the gesture, “They were just inappropriate.”

“Inappropriate how?”

“He said that he would like some pre-trained guards, that whoever trains us must be highly competent, at least from what he's heard,” Big says, “He was pushing for a guard to be included in the trade. I'm not sure if he was actually serious. But he said I would be at the top of his list. That I was…pretty. That my duties would extend past standing on guard and that he would put…specific orifices to use-”

Chan picks his head up suddenly, “He said that?”

“It was cruder, but he had also been drinking-”

“No excuse,” Chan mutters, turning onto his back to grab his phone.

Big props himself up, “What are you doing?”

Chan doesn't answer as he creates a text with both Kinn and Porsche.

Chan: I will be changing the schedule around until the Chatri deal is closed and he is no longer regularly coming around the compound. Gear, First, and Job will be your guards throughout the rest of the week.

Kinn: Okay. I take it Big mentioned how Chatri conducted himself?

Chan: He told me Chatri made sexual comments and offers. While I realize the guards are expected to risk their lives under necessary circumstances, it is not a part of the contract for them to face unwanted advances or harassment from our so-called allies. I understand that severing the Chatri deal would cause tension and not be in the best interest for the family's various business dealings with him, but it is not acceptable for him to conduct himself the way he did this afternoon. He will no longer have access to Big.

Kinn: We took steps once we realized Chatri’s behavior might continue. However, I believe having Big stationed elsewhere during Chatri’s appointments will be for the best as well. I am glad he felt comfortable telling you, especially if the situation made him uneasy or upset. I will make sure to debrief with him in the morning so that he knows Chatri’s propositions were unacceptable and that he doesn't need to put up with that kind of situation should it ever arise again.

Porsche: We would never sell Big!

Good, because Chan might turn on the entire family and burn down the compound if a deal like that occurred. He doesn't put the threat out there though.

Porsche: I could tell it pissed Big off. I tried to get him to talk about it when we switched him out, but he remained annoyingly professional and stoic.

Chan: Which is why it might be important to make the guards' autonomy and expectations clear. This is not the first time something like this has happened - to Big or a few of the other guards. While I have told them to calmly but firmly set up boundaries with visiting allies and associates if something like this occurs, they might be more likely to do it if they heard it from Khun Kinn.

Kinn: I'm sure Pa has said something to them in the past.

He hasn't. Chan knows Korn has not said a word about situations where guards get harassed or asked for when it comes to a potential trade. Korn wants the guards to feel cared for and financially stable, but never secure or truly safe.

Chan: He hasn't, at least to my knowledge. We have several younger guards here who have various forms of trauma, little to no support systems outside of their coworkers, and might not know how to handle an imbalance like that. Big has seniority over most of them, but he is only 28. Chatri is twice his age, extremely wealthy, and should have never put Big in that position.

Porsche: Agreed! When he groped Big, I almost flipped out at him. 😡 If you had seen it, I KNOW you would have intimidated the shit out of the guy.

Chan looks away from his phone and stares at Big sharply, “He touched you?”

Big keeps his arm around Chan’s middle, “Are you talking to Kinn or Porsche?”

“Both,” Chan says, then lets out a harsh breath, “Were you ever alone with him?”

Big shrugs, “Just to escort him into the East Wing dining area.”

“Did anything happen during that time?”

“Comments,” is all Big says at first, but then elaborates, “He's done it a few times over the years, but he was surprisingly bold today. Maybe he is getting an early form of dementia and doesn't care about how he comes across anymore-”

“He's not,” Chan grunts out as he focuses on his phone, “He knows exactly what he's doing.”

“Clearly not if he thinks I'm worth throwing into a business deal.”

Chan pauses, then puts his phone back down on his chest, “I would say that you are wrong since your assumption seems to be coming from a self-deprecating place, but no human should be thrown into a business deal or bought.”

Big doesn't have anything to say to that, so Chan picks up his phone again. He wants details. He wants to know how bad it was so he can figure out a way to kill Chatri and not have it traced back to him. But even if it was, he would stand by his decision.

Chan: Elaborate on what you mean by “grope.”

Porsche: You guys are really close, huh? You sound so protective of him 🥰

Chan: Elaborate.

Porsche: 🙄 Fine. You should know, so I’ll tell you. Chatri was AWFUL to him! He was literally trying to push Big up against a wall and undo his pants when I turned the corner to meet them. Big dodged him and got some distance between them, but still! Pissed me off, and I could tell Big was pissed off too.

As Chan turns his head to look at Big again, Big jerks his own back slightly at Chan’s expression.

“...I'm sure they are making it sound worse than it was-”

“Stop,” Chan grunts before his phone pings again.

Kinn: I made it clear to Chatri that Big was never going to be a part of a deal and to refrain from touching any of our guards if he wanted to keep our connection positive and lucrative. And again, I will make sure to check in with Big tomorrow. Or tonight, if he is available.

Porsche: Since he just told you, I assume he might be nearby? You can send him over. We’d be happy to apologize for what happened, reassure him that we will advocate for him, and encourage him to advocate for himself if something similar happens in the future.

Chan stares at his phone for a minute, then glances at Big. They are both already in their pajamas. Big looks relaxed despite his day, and he is gently twirling the fabric of Chan’s grey t-shirt around his fingers.

Chan: He can meet with you tomorrow. Good night.

“Are you mad?”

Chan sighs, “Not at you. At Chatri. And at myself for scheduling you for meetings with him. I really wish you would have told me this has been an issue in the past.”

“He hasn't come around that much, not since he invested in the resort chain,” Big says, then focuses on Chan’s shirt again, “We weren't as close then.”

“No, but we were close enough. I mentored you,” Chan says, “I wish you would have come to me about it. I would have made sure it stopped being a problem much sooner. And if it somehow continued anyway, I would have done everything in my power to protect you.”

Big stares at him wide eyed before clearing his throat and looking away again, “It wasn't that serious.”

Maybe not compared to other things they have faced, but it feels more than serious enough to Chan.

“Just promise me you won't hesitate telling me if something like that happens again,” Chan says, “It doesn't matter who, but if you feel like someone is…abusing their power to manipulate you or see how much you will put up with…even if it's me-”

“Even if it's you?” Big says, lifting his head up, “What do you mean?”

Now, Chan is the one who feels tight lipped.

“Chan? What do you mean?”

Fine. He’ll just say it.

“I realize that our…friendship…” Chan starts, then briefly closes his eyes, “I realize what we are doing is not typical, especially with the differences in our rank.”

Big stays quiet, his arms still around Chan’s middle. Chan feels himself sharply breathes in with surprise when Big leans in and rests his cheek against Chan’s shoulder.

“I don't have a problem with this,” Big says, “If I did, I wouldn't initiate…things like this most of the time. It's normally me who starts it, Phi.”

That's true.

“You don't intimidate me. Sorry.”

As Chan huffs out a laugh, Big props himself up on Chan’s chest and Chan lifts his hand to run it up and down Big’s back.

“Are you uncomfortable by this?” Big asks him.

No. Maybe not knowing what is exactly happening between them is uncomfortable. Not knowing how to proceed or if he even should is also uncomfortable. But Big’s proximity, Big’s touch, and the closeness that has developed between them over the last year and a half is a comfort.

He wants Big to move back in. It would be so easy. They don't even need to redo the office. Big doesn’t seem to mind sleeping here in the bed with him. Last night, Chan offered. Tonight, Big was the one to ask to stay the night with him.

So maybe Chan isn't pressuring him.

“Do you…” Big starts, then tries again, “If you want me to leave-”

“No.”

“Or stop touching you…” Big says, then looks down at Chan’s chest. When he makes a move to lift himself off, Chan shifts his arm underneath him and pulls him back in.

“No,” Chan murmurs. Big - now resting inside the crook of his arm - looks up at him with a mixture of hope and hesitation. All Chan can do is lift his other hand to cup Big’s cheek. Big keeps his eyes on him as he lifts his own hand to keep Chan’s right where it is.

“I like you,” Big says, his voice sounding slightly strangled, “It's uh…It's a lot more than just like, but I don't want to fuck up everything between us if you don't feel the same way. So that's all I'm willing to say for now.”

The Call of the Void | Chapter 14

XIV: F e l d c r o f t

Shy girl meets distracted boy. Chaos ensues. This is my “canon” retelling of Siobhan Sloane and Sebastian Sallow’s story. Chapter summary: Siobhan travels with Sebastian to Feldcroft, and the two learn more about one another's upbringings. 6.9k words. [Ao3] | [Wattpad] preview below ⬇️

The following weekend, Siobhan meets Sebastian in the clocktower courtyard after breakfast. He’s dressed warmly, for once, a dark coat pulled over his grey woolen jumper, and a green Slytherin scarf wrapped loosely around his neck. “It’ll snow any day now,” he muses as she approaches, turning his attention from the sky to her. “Does it snow in Nottingham?” “Sometimes,” she responds, adjusting her coat to block out the morning breeze. “Usually on Christmas, if we’re lucky.” “Do you not like the cold?” he asks as she murmurs a warming charm under her breath to keep her gloved hands as toasty as possible. Siobhan does her best not to make it look like she’s pouting. “No.” “Here,” Sebastian says with a soft chuckle, pulls the scarf from his neck to place around hers instead. Her heart flutters at the gesture, suddenly warm in places she’d rather not be. His fingers brush against the curve of her neck, forcing her to suppress a shiver. “Since you lost yours,” he explains, this time with a grin. “You look good in green.” She tugs the fabric up in a lame attempt to hide her blush. “Come on,” he urges, stepping back but offering his hand for her to take. “Feldcroft isn’t far.”

[sparklyfarmfreakpaper]

Hello! Sorry for not uploading anything new or at least not uploading a preview, but I've been a little out of ideas but I plan to write more!!

This time I bring you Briar Beauty's SFW alphabet (A.K.A LA BEST)

A = Affection (How affectionate is he? How does he show affection?)

She is a very affectionate and loving girl, it is in her nature. She usually shows it with physical affection, whether it be kisses, hugs or holding hands. She can even show her affection through activities together like parties. It is 100% certain that she uploads photos of you together on her networks.

B = Best friend (What would he be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)

There are different ways in which you could start a friendship with Briar and it all depends on your personality.

If you are extroverted it is easy, you met her at the parties she organizes. You started talking and hanging out more

If you're an introvert, it can be a little more complicated, but it boils down to either she dragged you to one of her parties or you caught her eye for some reason

C = Hugs (Does she like to cuddle? How would she do it?)

Love falls short, she loves to hug her partner. Generally in various ways but her favorite is where she can rest her head on her partner's chest and listen to her partner's heartbeat

D = Domestic (Does she want to settle down? How is she cooking and cleaning?)

This is a complicated subject... Being destined to sleep for 100 years and waking up leaving her whole life behind scares her very much. When she wakes up you won't be there anymore and it scares her, if it were up to her it would be a definitive YES (after a long time to finally get serious) but her destiny puts a big part of her life at stake. She is clean and tidy but is forbidden to cook for fear that she will fall asleep.

E = Final (If she had to break up with her partner, how would she do it?)

She would take it pretty well, she's had previous relationships in the past so she has experience dealing with breakups. However, if you managed to have a deeper connection with Briar, well, it will take her a little longer to get over the breakup (This is where it would be best to be careful of Faybelle)

F = Engaged (How do you feel about commitment? How soon would you want to get married?)

The same as with the letter D, the issue of sleeping for 100 years plays against many of her plans. About commitment, it's something she should see first, knowing if she wants to commit to someone and everything, but if her partner supports her in most of her activities, she will have the answer in a very short time. Taking away all that from the curse of sleeping for a century, in order to get married, at least one or two years of relationship.

G = Kind (How kind is she, both physically and emotionally?)

She is very careful both physically and emotionally. Do you feel depressed about something? BOOM party just for you. Did you get hurt while doing some extreme sports with her? BOOM takes care of you all day long

H = Hugs (Does she like hugs? How often does she do it? What are her hugs like?)

As I said, she loves hugs and does them often. Her hugs are loving.

I = I love you (How fast does she say the L word?)

After a few months she would say the magic words

J = Jealousy (How jealous does she get? What does she do when she is jealous?)

On a scale of 1 to 10 she would be a 4. She doesn't tend to get jealous very often because she trusts her partner but if she feels jealous she will simply be near her partner hugging him or doing anything that makes it clear that they are in a relationship.

K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)

She likes to kiss on the lips and be kissed on the lips (Internally it's a way of trying to make you the prince/princess destined to wake her up) Her kisses are loving

L = Little (How are they with kids?)

She gets along pretty well with little kids and knows how to handle them because, you know, she has like 8 younger siblings.

M = Morning People (How do you spend your mornings with them?)

Mornings are quiet but full of activities that you can both do together

N = Night People (How do you spend your nights with them?)

Nights are different and it's quite noticeable, there are more activities and more games but if one of you feels particularly tired then you spend them quietly

O = Open (When would they start to reveal things about themselves? Do they say everything at once or do they wait a while to reveal things slowly?)

It will take a long time for her to open up to you completely. Whether it's to tell you about how she's not sure about following her destiny, how afraid she is of sleeping for 100 years and waking up with all her friends and family dead, how she could lose you, how she's expected to be happy about it.

P = Patience (How easily do they get angry?)

It's very difficult to make her angry, you would have to have done something very, very stupid to make her lose her temper. He would get quite angry if someone goes against his friends, partner, family or even her parties.

Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing or do they forget everything?)

She remembers most of the things you do together no matter what it is, from a big event to the smallest date. She treasures every moment with the person she loves

R = Remembering (What is her favorite moment in your relationship?)

The first time you met, she doesn't really know why but when she met you she could feel that it was something very special for both her and you

S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)

She is very protective, she would jump to your defense if someone ever did something to you by saying positive things about you. But when you're the one defending her, she feels quite grateful and confident

T = Trying (How much effort would you put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)

She puts a lot of effort into important dates as shown on Apple's birthday for example

U = Ugly (What would be some of her bad habits?)

Sometimes she can be a bit stubborn and she can also forget some things she was going to do with her partner because she's more focused on going from party to party [Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that being a party person is bad].

V = Vanity (How worried are they about their appearance?)

She takes her time to be made up and dressed up

W = Complete (Would they feel incomplete without you?)

If you're apart for a long time, she can get a bit lonely

X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them).

She has a habit of calling almost everything "sexy". “What a sexy meal” plus she uses certain internet terms in public. “Yolo!” “XD”

Y = Yuck (What are some things you wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?)

People who hold you back from doing what you love the most. People who are similar in behavior like Duchess or Faybelle

Z = Zzz (What is a sleeping habit of theirs?)

This pretty much answers itself isn’t it?

Now apart from this Briar is going to have her own One-Shot or whatever it's called, so if you like how I write please I beg you for a little patience.

Welcome to 2025 everyone! Happy New Year! Like with previous years, this post is sort of a finishing-up-of-old-projects sort of post!

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

First of all, the hairs: KewaiDou 3k was one of the first hairs I recolored(1) based off of an @berrynoobooshair recolor as a base. Much later, I realized that I could also do a recolor of the hair for females, and decided that my original recolors didn't quite match the slightly darker recolors of all my other hairs. So. This is a redo for my male recolors as well as a new female recolor.

While you can have both the old and the new male recolors in your game, ONLY the folder is named differently, so you'll have to rename either the old or new files so they don't over-write each other.

(I still like my recolors for the male version of Raon 36(2), so this is just an upload of recolors for the female version.)

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

All hairs comes in Remi’s naturals (and texture), my usual variety of unnaturals (3), and selection of naturals (4), and are sorted with the other short hairs I’ve recolored.

KewaiDou 3k F colors packaged individually: http://simfil.es/5142368/

KewaiDou 3k F fewer files (5): http://simfil.es/5142370/

KewaiDou 3k M NEW colors packaged individually: http://simfil.es/5142371/

KewaiDou 3k M NEW fewer files (5): http://simfil.es/5142372/

Raon 36 MtF colors packaged individually: http://simfil.es/5136888/

Raon 36 MtF fewer files (5): http://simfil.es/5136892/

Both “colors packaged individually” and “fewer files” versions include all the same hairs (just packaged slightly differently) and come with base, color swatch, mesh, and preview pictures included; choose only one. I own nothing so you can’t sell it. :)

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Secondly, we have finally come to the end of recoloring all of Sundried's Dragon Age 3 Vallaslin costume makeup(6)! I did a few of my own touch-ups to this one to make it look a bit more cohesive (hopefully), and then flipped it so you can have it over the right eye OR over the left eye OR over both! Like with the others, I also raised the opacity a LOT so you can see colors better. This layers above blush and below everything else. It comes in all 56 “clothing colors” (7), so if you want them all I would HIGHLY recommend downloading the “fewer files” version(5). Both versions come with swatches and preview pictures.

Sylaise L colors packaged individually: http://simfil.es/5142383/

Sylaise L fewer files: http://simfil.es/5142384/

Sylaise R colors packaged individually: http://simfil.es/5142385/

Sylaise R fewer files: http://simfil.es/5142386/

Again, I own nothing so you can’t sell it. :)

[magical-regical]

Continuing my L&DS hyperfixation but also because Owl City just released a new single, here are some owl city songs that remind me of each LI and Caleb

Go under the cut if you want some extremely long commentary on why I picked the songs I did. If you don't care what I have to say, please peruse this TLDR;

Xavier: If My Heart Was a House

Zayne: Car Trouble

Rafayel: My Muse, Rainbow Veins

Caleb: Hot Air Balloon, The Bird and The Worm

Ah you're still here. A few disclaimers before you continue:

Whenever I mention MC in this, I will be using she/her pronouns.

I haven't listened to every owl city song in existence and some songs didn't stick with me the way the songs listed here did so if you think my takes are garbage and I'm a big dumb stupid idiot for not considering the song you're thinking of, uh, feel free to make your own post abt it.

I know sweet f a abt music theory so I'm just going based off vibes and lyrics not composition.

I haven't read Xavier's or Zayne's myth stories to completion and haven't read Rafayel's at all.

Anyway, without further ado, enjoy my lukewarm takes.

Xavier

This song makes me so soft and it's way too easy to imagine Xavier and MC dancing to this. The first lines sound like he's reminiscing of the time he had with MC in her past lives,

You're the sky that I fell through, and I remember the view whenever I'm holding you

The sun hung from a string, looking down on the world as it warmed over everything.

Chills run down my spine as our fingers entwine and your sighs harmonize with mine.

Unmistakably, I can still feel your heart beat fast when you dance with me.

He pulls her in closer as the first pre-chorus plays. And the two pre-chorus' in this song sound like a conversation between him and his memory of past!MC.

The first one:

We got older and I should've known,

Do you feel alive?

That I'd feel colder when I walk alone

Oh, but you'll survive

The second one:

I walk slowly when I'm on my own

Do you feel alive?

Yea but frankly, I still feel alone.

Oh, but you'll survive

And then the chorus hits and the vibes are immaculate. It feels like you're floating on air and imagine how Xavier looks at MC when the last few lines play,

Risk it all 'cuz I'll catch you if you fall,

Wherever you go,

If my heart was a house, you'd be home.

Because she is the celestial body that orbits around him, his north, his guiding star, and his heart will always be her home.

Zayne

And you can't convince me this isn't one of the songs that plays at their wedding.

This is the catalyst of this post's creation. As of writing this, it's the newest single and I am obsessed with it. So strap in folks, I have a lot to say.

First of all, the first thirty seconds of this song was released as a preview titled 'Floppy Fish' that came out ten years ago and we didn't hear anything else about it until suddenly we get a tweet about it four days ago (as of writing this part) and then this masterpiece. I think it reflects Zayne and MCs relationship quite well, they were childhood friends, lost contact for a while, and now they're reunited to build another beautiful relationship.

On to the song itself, the overall song is about going back to see the person you love even through all sorts of car troubles. The car theme immediately screamed 'Zayne' to me because out of all the boys we see him drive MC around the most.

It's a very upbeat song which contrasts Zayne's stoic personality but the whole song is something I can imagine actually happening to him.

I see the first verse as Zayne trying his damndest to finish up work instead of having actual car troubles,

I've been driving all afternoon, but I hate to say it, I won't be there soon = him working all afternoon and still having to do overtime

And though I'm late you know I just can't wait to come home to my slice of heaven on toast.

But my GrandPrix broke down without fail, another flat tire and another nail = the 'tire' being the hearts he has to operate on and 'another nail' referring to his surgeon's tools (even though the nail in the song is the thing that broke the tire in the first place not the thing fixing the flat)

I miss your smile but this could take a while 'cause this 'road closed' sign says there's no way around. = he can't just ditch work, obviously.

The second verse and chorus is him actually running out of gas on his way back from Akso and just describes his situation. Walking through the rain, only stopping to buy flowers for her.

Hey, it's kinda crazy what daisies jasmines can do.

And then these lines from the third verse,

I'd hand you a coffee right when you woke up

and

... all I find is all these highways wind and lead back to my slice of heaven on toast.

are so cute. Especially the 'slice of heaven on toast' thing since I imagine a slice of heaven on toast would taste sweet.

But wait, it gets better. Because the chorus that comes after goes,

Oh would your heart kind of glow if I held your hand and I promised to stay home?

Hey, when I blow in that's the first thing I'll do

It might take me forever

It might take me forever

But I love you forever and I can't wait to see you.

I'm dead. I'm deceased. I am a puddle of goo on the ground.

The bridge is the most upbeat part of the song and I imagine that's when he gets a call from MC because she's worried about him. Because honestly the line, 'Am I unavoidably detained or extremely fashionably late?' sounds like the kind of dry humor he'd enjoy.

And the song ends as he hangs up and continues his long journey on public transport to come home to her.

Rafayel

Now, fish boy gets two songs because I associate each one with what I like to call 'light mode' and 'dark mode' Rafayel.

I chose both songs because they had like, a lot of imagery involved in them and lean heavily into his whole artist job. So this isn't going to be as in depth as Zayne's lol.

Anyway,

This is light mode Rafayel. The whole song is him talking to MC. He's all happy-go-lucky and filled with inspiration. With how important color is to his current career the song just felt perfect.

The chorus also adds a few nice tidbits of his character,

Cheer up and dry your damp eyes, and tell me when it rains

And I'll blend up that rainbow above you and shoot it through your veins

'Cause your heart has a lack of color and we should've known

That we'd grow up sooner or later, 'cause we wasted all our free time alone

The first two lines sound like something he'd actually say when he's trying to comfort MC.

The line 'we wasted all our free time alone' sticks out to me because you ever notice this guy doesn't have any friends? Like, Xavier has Jeremiah and the countless old people he's made friends with when they're in their youth and Zayne has his coworkers at the hospital and his old profs. Raffy doesn't really have anyone like that? Sure he has Thomas and his Aunt Talia but judging by how fast they hung up on him after barely wishing him a happy birthday, I can't in good conscience call them his friends.

So yea maybe our boy was so focused on finding MC again he wasted all his free time alone.

Then we have dark mode Rafayel. And no I don't mean dark as in Rafayel when he's in revenge plot mode (whatever that is I don't have enough brain cells to comprehend what his plan could possibly be). I mean dark mode as in it's quite literally night time and he is left with nothing but his own thoughts. MC fell asleep at his place again and he's wistfully staring at her sleeping figure. This is the song in those moments.

Like Xavier, he's reminiscing about the past lives and past MCs. He's remembering the first time he met and the moment he decided she was the one. She was his bride. He's listing all the things he loves about her (which basically boils down to 'everything!'). She is his muse, now and forever.

And then the song ends with:

So I'll say it now before we're at the door that someday we'll walk through,

And if I'm the only one left in the room...

There's nowhere else I'd rather be than home with you.

Do you hear that? That's the sound of my heart cracking in two. He will sing you this last line as he pulls you closer, pressing your forehead against his before giving you a nice, long kiss.

Honorable mention goes to the song 'Sunburn' because it's about meeting someone, falling in love, and having to separate in the end (hence, 'she got a tan and I got a sunburn' and 'as we parted ways, she held my gaze and left an imprint on my mind'). I could go deeper and analyze each line like I did w/ Zayne but I've kept the Caleb girlies waiting long enough so we'll stop Raffy's part here.

Caleb

Caleb also gets two songs I chose two songs that have heavy 'childhood friends to lovers' vibes and fitting imagery and I told myself this one was gonna be short and sweet because we don't have as much depth abt his relationship w/ the MC compared to the current LIs but welp, I lied.

'Hot Air Balloon' is the most childhood friends song ever. Every single lyric is just every adventure these two went on when they were children. Writing their own fairy tales, making a racetrack around the kitchen chairs, going on a picnic to a nearby lake and getting a stomachache because you drank lake water even though Grandma Josephine told you specifically not to do that, the list just goes on and on.

It's them. It's little MC and Caleb with lightning in their veins and stars in their eyes as they explore the world around them, not a care in the world because the possibilities are quite literally endless when they have the other person by their side.

And then if 'Hot Air Balloon' was 'childhood friends—', 'The Bird And The Worm' adds on the '—to lovers' part of the trope.

I mean the entire first verse reads like the two kids playing pretend (because let's face it you've had one or two weirdly morbid play pretend sessions when you were a kid) with little Caleb saying he's the bird because of his evol and then little MC's like "then what does that make me?" And little Caleb's like "you're the worm ofc!"

Esp the part about throwing a party and greeting undersea friends (hi Raffy). I could imagine little MC telling little Caleb how she's going to invite the mermaid she made friends with at the beach to their 'party' and Caleb just not having any of it.

I'll throw a party and greet my undersea friends

(it depends)

As they arrive,

(if they arrive)

Then the chorus reads like a time skip. They're adults reminiscing about their childhood at one of the rare moments their schedules align,

You and I left our troubles far behind,

But I still have just one more question on my mind

For all my pals who live in the oceans and the seas

With friends like these well, who needs enemies?

In that moment they're back to being just MC and Caleb, not a hunter and a fighter pilot. And the last two lines sound like they're trading workplace gossip. Caleb tells her about the shenanigans his colleagues get up to and MC telling him about all the...'quirky' people she's been running into (hi Xav) and then being cheeky and going 'with friends like these, who needs enemies?'

And then you move to the second verse and it's them on a date. It's them on the most damn wholesome date you can imagine, I'm sorry I don't make the rules.

Like first they go apple picking,

If I'm your boy, we'll take a short cut we remember and we'll enjoy—

—picking apples in late September like we've done for years.

We'll take a long walk through the cornfield and I'll kiss you between the ears.

Then they come home and cook together (maybe make a pie with the apples they just picked or some other apple based dish?),

And as we twirl, the glow in the dark stars on your ceiling will shine for us

If you're my girl, swirl me around your room with feeling

As love sweeps over the room cuz' we tend to make, each other blush

(you make me blush)

They're so used to each other's presence even in a kitchen that can be considered a little cramped, they can perfectly navigate around each other.

After the two had eaten a delicious dinner, they are now cuddled on the couch with a blanket over the two of them, some movie playing on the TV. MC starts nodding off so Caleb picks her up and moves her to the bedroom, letting her snuggle against him. He brushes some loose strands of hair away so he can kiss her forehead,

"Love ya pipsqueak, sleep well."

And before drifting off he hears MC mumble a sleepy "I love you too..."

And that's how their perfect day ends.

You're the bird, I'm the worm and it's plain to see,

That we were meant to be.

Author's rambling

Haaaa, I finally finished it yay! If you're reading this, thanks for reading this far! (or if you're a Caleb stan and just decided to read his part only, hello!)

I hope you enjoyed my takes. This was fun, I loved breaking down each song and just rambling my heart out over why each song gives me vibes for which character.
