Dreamling Bingo WIP - Beta/Omega Relationship

The lovely mods at @dreamlingbingo​ have let us submit previews for our squares, so I will be posting as many as I can before the day is up lol

This is from an unnamed omegaverse fae fic - A1: Beta/Omega Relationship

CW: implied later mpeg, ref to canonical child-death, ref to canonical death in childbirth

･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. 

“I can grant you riches. Save you from the depths of famish. Restore you to your former glory.” The Fae purrs, curling pale arms around Hob’s shoulders, possessive, nails biting into his skin, toying with the frayed edge of the rags he’s been wearing for months. “But it will come at a price.”

“I don’t…” Hob winces, arms tightening around his middle as he attempts to starve off another sharp pang of hunger. “I’m sorry, but I don’t have anything to give.”

The Fae hums, petal-soft lips brushing over the shell of Hob’s ear. “Oh, you sweet thing, there is always more left to give, and you have Endless.”

Hob grimaces. His life is endless until the day he decides otherwise. He’s not sure how he feels that this creature discovered that with such ease. He can’t find the will to care much right now.

“What service would you ask of me, then?”

“Service?” The fae repeats, their arm slipping off him like liquid silk as they trail around to face him. “Is that what you would offer me? An act?”

“Is that what you want?”

“I suppose I could ask you to silence church bells. Swear fealty to the Archfey. Learn the name of a devil. Lay with me.” The fey winks as Hob’s shoulders tense. “But that would be such a waste when I can smell the life on you. All those memories. Would you surrender one of those to me? Your first kiss. First mate. First love,” The fey pauses, tilts their head and smirks some dangerous thing. “A flame that’s yet to burn out, I see. And such an ill-advised candle to worship at that.”

“Fuck off. What use could you possibly have with my memories?”

“That is my business. I owe you no explanation. But where there is love there is also loss. Let’s see here…firstborn fell casualty to a tavern brawl. The second lost in birth along with the mother. Poor Robert Gadlen. All that life and yet here you are drowning in tragedy. I suppose you must be numb to it all by now?”

“Just get on with it and name your price. If it’s a memory you want well - well my answer is no.”

The fey smiles some beautiful, fanged thing. “Not a memory. No, I would claim to something far more precious than that. Your third born. That is my demand.”

And Hob, who has no intention of ever siring children again, snorts. “Deal.”

.

Of course, when Hob gets Dream pregnant three hundred years later, that becomes a bit of a problem. In his defence, he didn’t realise Dream could get pregnant.

Do You Need to Be a Better LIstener?

When was the last time you felt truly heard? Not just nodded at or given a half-hearted “uh-huh,” but deeply understood? For many of us, it’s rare. Life gets busy, distractions pile up, and the art of listening often takes a backseat. But here’s the truth: being a better listener can transform your relationships in ways you can’t imagine.

Whether you’re a partner, parent, friend, or coworker, your ability to listen impacts every connection you have. Let’s explore why listening matters, the common reasons we struggle, and how you can start improving today.

Why Listening Matters in your relationship

Listening goes far beyond simply hearing someone’s words. It’s about showing up, being present, and making the other person feel valued and understood.

Studies show that couples who actively listen to each other are 86% more likely to report greater satisfaction in their relationship. That’s because good listening builds trust, strengthens connection, and lays the foundation for open communication.

When you take the time to listen, you create a space for meaningful conversations and a deeper sense of partnership. On the flip side, poor listening can lead to resentment, misunderstandings, and emotional distance.

Why We Struggle with Listening

Listening might sound simple, but the reality is that it takes intentional effort—and most of us aren’t very good at it. Here’s why:

• We multitask constantly: Whether it’s scrolling on our phones or mentally running through our to-do lists, we’re often only half-present in conversations.

• We listen to respond, not to understand: Instead of focusing on the other person’s words, we’re busy crafting our reply or waiting for our turn to speak.

• We’re weighed down by emotional baggage: Stress, exhaustion, or unresolved frustrations can cloud our ability to fully hear and engage.

These habits don’t make us bad people—they’re just part of life. But recognizing them is the first step to changing how we show up for others.

When Poor Listening Hurts Relationships

It’s easy to overlook how much listening—or the lack of it—affects our relationships. But here are a few ways poor listening can hurt the people we care about most:

• Feeling unseen or dismissed: When someone shares something important and we’re not fully present, it sends the message that they—and their feelings—don’t matter.

• Example: Your partner tells you about a stressful day, and you respond with, “At least tomorrow will be better,” instead of truly acknowledging their frustration.

• Filling in the gaps with assumptions: Misunderstanding someone’s words can lead to unnecessary emotions, like frustration or hurt feelings, and even trigger avoidable conflicts.

• Example: Your spouse mentions being worried about finances, and you immediately assume they’re blaming you for overspending.

• Building emotional disconnection: Over time, repeated moments of feeling unheard can create distance in a relationship, making even small conversations feel tense or exhausting.

Tips for Becoming a Better Listener in your relationship

The good news? Listening is a skill, and like any skill, you can improve it with practice. Here are some practical tips to start becoming a better listener today:

1. Be Fully Present

Set aside distractions and focus entirely on the person speaking. That means putting down your phone, making eye contact, and engaging with their words.

• Pro Tip: Pause for a moment before responding. This allows you to absorb what’s been said instead of rushing to reply.

2. Validate Before Solving

Before you jump in with advice or solutions, take a moment to acknowledge their emotions. Often, people don’t need fixes—they just want to feel heard.

• Phrase to Use: “It sounds like you’re feeling ___ because ___. Did I get that right?”

3. Ask Clarifying Questions

Instead of making assumptions, ask for more details. This not only helps you understand better but also shows the other person that you’re invested in their perspective.

• Phrase to Use: “Can you tell me more about what you mean by ___?”

4. Paraphrase What You Heard

Repeat back the key points of what they shared to confirm that you’re on the same page.

• Example: “So, you’re saying mornings have been really stressful lately?”

5. Check Your Emotional State

If you’re overwhelmed, stressed, or distracted, it’s okay to pause the conversation. Let the other person know you want to give them your full attention, even if it means revisiting later.

• Phrase to Use: “I want to be fully present for this—can we come back to it when I can give you my best focus?”

What Happens to your relationship When You Listen Better

Imagine what would shift in your relationships if you truly heard and understood the people in your life. What would it feel like for your partner, your kids, or even your closest friends to feel seen and supported every time they opened up to you?

When you practice better listening, you create stronger, more fulfilling connections. You build trust, reduce unnecessary conflict, and foster a sense of teamwork that makes challenges easier to face together.

Take Action with Listening This Week

Listening isn’t about perfection—it’s about progress. Choose one tip from this post to focus on this week. Maybe it’s putting down your phone during conversations or validating someone’s emotions before offering advice. Whatever you choose, small changes can make a big difference. Maybe that means getting outside support with coaching to help you and your partner prioritize, get on the same page, communicate and connect with one another again.

Understanding US H-1B Visa Denial for Indians: Expert Advice and Solutions

The US H-1B Visa Denial For Indians program is essential for bringing skilled professionals—particularly those from India—to work in the United States. Designed to help U.S. companies fill specialized roles, the H-1B visa allows companies to hire international experts in high-demand fields like technology, engineering, healthcare, and finance.

Indian professionals make up nearly 70% of all US H-1B Visa Denial For Indians, bringing in-demand skills to the U.S. tech, engineering, and management sectors. For these individuals, the H-1B visa is more than just a job opportunity—it’s a gateway to career advancement and, potentially, long-term residency. Their contributions are particularly critical in technology fields, such as software development, artificial intelligence, and data science, driving U.S. innovation and economic growth.

The U.S. tech industry, worth an estimated $1.8 trillion, relies on skilled professionals, including many from India, to maintain its global edge. Indian H-1B workers contribute heavily to this success and their expertise benefits industries.

In recent years, US H-1B Visa Denial For Indians rates have surged, with Indian applicants facing some of the highest refusal rates. At one point, denial rates hit 30%, driven by policy changes, stricter definitions of “specialty occupation,” and a closer examination of the employer-employee relationship. These challenges have added uncertainty for Indian applicants and the U.S. companies that rely on their skills, making the H-1B process increasingly complex and competitive.

Common Reasons for US H-1B Visa Denial For Indians

When applying for an H-1B visa, understanding why applications get denied can make all the difference. Here are some of the most common reasons for H-1B visa denials:

1. Specialty Occupation Requirement

●       What is a “Specialty Occupation”?According to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), a “specialty occupation” requires specialized knowledge and at least a bachelor’s degree in a related field. Fields like IT, engineering, and healthcare typically qualify, as they demand advanced knowledge and training.

●       Why Some Roles Fall ShortNot all roles meet this requirement. For example, positions that are too generalized or don’t require a specific degree may be denied. USCIS may question the “specialty” aspect if the job description lacks specific technical or academic demands.

2. Employer-Employee Relationship Issues

●       USCIS Standards for a Valid RelationshipThe USCIS requires clear proof of an employer-employee relationship, meaning the employer must control the employee’s work assignments, duties, and schedules. This becomes especially crucial when the applicant works at a third-party client site.

●       Common ComplicationsRemote work arrangements, third-party contracts, or indirect supervision roles can raise concerns. The application may be denied if the employer cannot demonstrate a clear line of authority.

3. Educational Qualifications and Job Fit

●       Impact of Education on Approval ChancesUSCIS assesses whether the applicant’s educational background aligns with the job role. For example, a data science job usually requires a computer science or statistics degree.

●       Mismatch Between Education and JobIf an applicant’s education or experience doesn’t match the job description, USCIS may deny the application. This can happen when an applicant’s degree is unrelated to the job or if their qualifications don’t align with the specific demands of the position.

4. Documentation and Evidence Gaps

●       Importance of Strong DocumentationClear documentation is essential in proving the validity of the job offer, role requirements, and the applicant’s qualifications. Incomplete or vague documentation is a frequent reason for denial.

Text your man this to make him think about you non-stop "You're all-too-familiar with men taking hours to reply to your text, but using this 'Attention Text' will make a guy desperate to reply right away" It's a text you can send a man which virtually guarantees he'll respond right away. It works by using something called "Attention Hooks"... Which give him a feeling of overwhelming psychological tension... That only getting in touch with you will release. It's like an itch in his brain that only hearing back from you will scratch. So HE'S the one going crazy waiting to hear back from you, and not the other way around. The cool thing about Attention Hooks is... They're based on the same techniques screenwriters use to grab your attention and keep you watching their movies... Or to make you click "Watch another Episode" again and again when you know you should just go to bed. Go here to learn this weirdly powerful text message >> @soulmate.emotion Which makes him think about you non-stop. ==> Credit : unknown • • • • • #eroticdrawings #emotionalintimacy #intimacycoaching #sacredintimacy #beyondintimacy #inrelationship #betterrelationships #positiverelationships #relationshippost #relationshipblog #relationshipmatter #blackrelationshipgoals #relationshipspecialist #couplerelationship #relationshipthings #relationshipcounselling #soulmatequotes #relationshipsgoals #relationshipbuilding https://www.instagram.com/p/Ceytv38hIaO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
