BABY MINE by betty noyes

if they knew sweet little you, they'd end up loving you too, all those same people who scold you.
She could not speak to himânot the way he needed.
Her throat was not built for human syllables. She had tried, once, when he was still small enough to nest in the curl of her claw. Forced air through her massive lungs and twisted her tongue against her teeth until something like his name wheezed out, broken and wrong. It had frightened him.
So she stopped.
She watched him grow in silence, her language made of motion and breath, of scale-press and shadow-shelter. Love shown in the way she curled her tail just so around his sleeping place, or how she warmed his hands between her nostrils and teeth during cold nights. A nudge to wake. A trill to soothe. A long sigh to say I see you.
Heâd learned to mimic. She didnât know from whereâbirds, probably, or foxes. Sometimes he chirped like wind in leaves. Sometimes like something older. Sheâd tilt her head when he did it, and heâd beam like the sun was inside him.
But not today.
Today he sat beneath her wing with his arms wrapped around himself, face turned away, his little sounds missing like a song swallowed by fog. He hadnât chirped since the others cameâ all winged, crowned in horn and smoke. They had spoken with fire in their throats. Their words were old, sharp-edged, full of insult and scorn. And though her son couldnât understand the meaning, he felt it. He always did.
She could have burned them for it. Should have. But instead, she let them leave.
And now he wouldnât look at her.
So she waited, curled around the hollow, watching with her breath held still. Until finally, she moved.
He didnât flinch when she nudged him. Didnât lean into her nose. Didnât blink when her breath ruffled his hair.
That hurt the most.
She nosed lower. Tugged at his tunic. Got no answer.
So she did the only thing she could do.
She corn-cobbed him.
Carefullyâlovinglyâshe opened her jaw and nibbled along his ribs, just where his skin was softest. Just where he always squeaked. She scraped her teeth in tiny rows, barely brushing his shirt, stopping every few beats like a question.
And thenâ
That sound.
His laughter burst out of him like water through stone. A laugh from deep in his belly, huge and wild and free. He curled forward, gasping and kicking weakly at her nose, his arms batting uselessly at the air. She rumbled, a sound like thunder curling in her throat.
Then she purred.
Not just a humâthis was deeper, older. The sound of molten stone shifting beneath the crust of the world. A lullaby only dragons knew. It turned into a trill, a song her kind only used for hatchlings.
She hadnât used it in years.
His laughter softened, turning wet at the edges. He buried his face against her muzzle, hiccupping, breathless. But he smiled.
And sheâancient, voiceless, scaled and scarredâpressed her snout to his chest and listened to his heartbeat. Memorized the rhythm. Matched it with her own.
He would never speak her language.
But he was hers. And in every touch, every hum, every bone-deep vibration of her voice, she would say it:
You are loved. You are mine. I do not need words to tell you that.
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY Îľ(´・â˘áâ˘`)㣠đ

âI donât have to work for my dinner?â she asked, voice light, but her tone was edged with something elseâsomething fragile beneath the playfulness. Her fingers drifted up his chest, slow and searching, brushing over the metal buttons of his shirt with a touch that trembled ever so slightly. The adrenaline hadnât quite burned off yet, and neither had the worry. Her hand paused near his collarbone, feeling the steady thud of his heartbeat beneath her palm like proof he was still here.
She tilted her head to look up at him, the ends of her hair brushing his arm, and caught his crimson gaze through the curtain of her thick, dark lashes. Her doe-like eyes, wide and gleaming, shimmered with mischiefâbut there was something else flickering there too. Relief. Fear. Fierce affection she didnât yet have the words for.
Sylus let out a deep, low laugh, rich as aged wine, but this time it carried more than just amusement. It rumbled from his chest and settled into the space between them, grounding her. His hands came up to catch hers, enclosing her delicate fingers in his rougher grasp as if anchoring them both. âWork?â he echoed, the word tasting ridiculous on his tongue after everything theyâd just come through. He lifted her hand to his lips, brushing slow, reverent kisses against each of her knuckles. His breath was warm against her skin, chasing away the lingering cold that still clung to her fingertips. âI want to spoil you in a way that makes you forget the word even exists.â
She stared at him for a beat too long, her breath catching at the sincerity buried in his voice. For a man so feared, so calculated, there was nothing guarded about him now. He was laid bare in the way he looked at her, as if her existence steadied him more than any weapon ever could.
But she didnât want to be the only one held, the only one saved.
A subtle shift moved through her featuresâsomething soft and defiant all at once. Her fingers curled lightly in his hold, not to resist, but to hold back the tide of emotions threatening to spill out all at once. âAnd what if I want to spoil you?â she murmured, her voice low but sure, blooming with quiet intensity. âCover you in so much affection it leaves no room for doubt. Let my love be the only weight you ever carry.â
Something flickered behind his eyes at thatâsomething quiet and dangerous and tender. The kind of look that wasnât born from desire, but from the aching realization that someone saw him, fully and without fear. His smirk lingered, but the sharp edge had dulled, replaced by something quieter, more vulnerable.
âThen Iâll be yours to spoil,â he said, voice hushed and resolute. âJust promise you wonât stop.â
She smiled at thatâsoft and sad and beautiful. Because she wouldnât. Even if the world tried to rip them apart again, even if danger waited for them around every corner. She would love him like this, fiercely and without apology.

star sign. | caleb xia x f! reader (crack fic)
caleb girlies, i'm so sorry.
look i wrote it before he became a side piece. i had loved/hated his character because of how goofy he is. BUT I LOVE HIM ENTIRELY NOW. that's my mistress.
this blurb makes no sense at all. it was written after seeing one (1) tiktok and a fever-induced dream. i am no writer! just for funsies!!
269 words (lol nice)

LOBBY MUSIC by kahoot
âśď¸ â˘áá||á|á||||áâââââá|⢠â
The first time she meets Caleb, itâs by sheer accidentâliterally. Their mail gets mixed up, leading to an awkward but amusing first encounter. Turns out, heâs her next-door neighbor. Heâs got that effortless charm, the kind that makes him feel like the perfect boy-next-door. Tall and lean with dark hair, his striking amethyst eyes stand out like something from a dream. Heâs almost too pretty, unfairly so. But as she quickly learns, Caleb isnât just a pretty faceâheâs sharp-witted, funny, and, to top it all off, a Colonel in the Farspace Fleet.
And, supposedly, he can cook.
When he invites her over to make dinner together, she, already a little smitten, agrees without hesitation. The evening unfolds in the warm glow of his kitchen, filled with the rich, mouthwatering aroma of oven-cooked pork ribs, creamy mashed potatoes smothered in homemade gravy, and golden, bubbling mac and cheese fresh from the oven. The real masterpiece? The soft, buttery rolls he had prepared beforehand, waiting just for this moment.
Between chopping, stirring, and sneaking bites of food, they talk and laugh, slipping into an easy rhythm. As the meal winds down, the conversation turns playful. They trade silly questions, each one peeling back another layer of the otherâs personality.
Then she, grinning, asks, âWhatâs your star sign?â
Without missing a beat, Caleb leans back slightly, smirking like heâs been waiting for this moment. âJudy Hopps moon and Hatsune Miku rising.â
Silence.
He holds his expression, absolutely radiating smug self-satisfaction. The sheer confidence. The audacity. Adelaide processes the words, then, without hesitation, swings on him with all the force she can muster.
again, caleb girlies, i'm so sorry.
also this was written with my oc originally, but i removed her name so you could experience this ick with me. ( ËÍ áľ ËÍâĄ)
the thought of him saying that to me in a dream got me so mad that i wrote it out. and my fever had gone away! :D

KITCHEN FAN LULLABY by claire boyer
âśď¸ â˘áá||á|á||||áâââââá|⢠â
It is early spring, and a mother waits with bated breath.
Her muscles coil and uncoil with restless energy, steam curling from her nostrils as she watches the othersâ eggs splinter open under the red moon. She tries to stay still, but her tail lashes, claws kneading the nesting stone. Her own eggâher runtâis smaller than any she has laid before. Smaller than any in the entire flight.
Still, she remains close. Protective. Hoping.
This is not her first clutchâbut if fate favors her, it will be her first to survive past hatching.
But the night stretches on. One by one, hatchlings chirr and screech their first breaths, limbs flailing as they learn to find footing on trembling legs. The chorus of life cuts at her like ice.
Hers remains still. Unmoving.
A dead egg. Another wasted season.
But she stays. Just one more night. She coils around it beneath the red moon and stars, pressing her body close. If nothing changes by morning, she will leave it behind. Let the scavengers and ground-things take it. That is the way of things.
Dawn spills over the nesting cliffs. The flight stirs, hatchlings mewling as sires and dams prepare to migrate toward new hunting groundsâfresh territory to raise the fledglings until they grow strong enough to brood clutches of their own.
She gives the egg one last nudge with her snout, reluctant, slow. The shell is cool, still. She should leave.
But thenâcrrk.
Her head snaps back. Another crackâsoft, but certain.
She crouches low, eyes wide and unblinking, breath held so tightly it burns in her chest. The scent is faint but sharp: wet, new, hers. Her talons twitch, tail curling tightly around her paws as she watches.
The shell splinters again. A tiny fist pushes through, pink and trembling. No claws. No sheen of scales. No horns. No wings.
Just... soft skin.
She snarls, confused. Recoils slightly. The hatchlingâs scent is hers, yesâbut what is this?
It whimpers. Then cries. A sound like pain, like need. It punches into her gut in a way she doesnât expect. Her body reacts before her mind doesâmove closer, cover it, warm it, protect it.
But itâs wrong, isnât it? It doesnât look like her. Doesnât sound like the others. Doesnât smell of fire and wind and ancient stone.
Just her.
She leans in, nose brushing over the tiny body. He is warm. Fragile. Breathing.
A flicker of doubt coils in her chestâdefective, she thinks. And the word burns, foreign and cruel.
Still, her wings shield him. Still, her tongue laps the afterbirth from his skin. Still, her throat rumbles low and soft, instinct wrapping around the little creature like a lullaby.
He squirms, presses into her warmth. Clings to her scales with tiny hands.
And the ache of failure fades.
She doesn't understand. She doesn't need to.
He is hers.
And that is enough.
She takes a moment to look upon her new young.
He breathes softly in his sleep, chest rising and falling in gentle rhythm. So small. So still. So peaceful.
She leans close, committing every inch of him to memory. His skinâsoft and tanned like sun-warmed stone. A crown of downy white hair, pale as fresh snow on mountaintops. His cheeks, flushed with life, puffed and rosy. And nestled where his heart should beâa ruby gem, dimly pulsing with light. Faint red branching lines fan outward from it like delicate veins of crystal.
It mirrors her own. A mark of true kinship. Undeniable.
The little creature stirs, roused by the gentle hum of the waking world. The scent of earth, the whisper of leaves, the distant call of birdsong. Not born beneath moonlight and fire like the othersâbut under the dawn, kissed by the first warmth of morning, where dew clings to moss and the world stretches awake.
His eyes blink openâdark garnet, deep and glimmeringâand fix on hers. Citrine, ancient, unblinking.
She stops breathing.
Those eyesâso unfamiliar, so human, yet filled with something ancient, something hers. They look into her as if they know her already. As if heâs always known.
And in that moment, the word defective crumbles to dust.
Noâthis is perfection.
Her little one.
Her first.
A gift. Not from chance. From Astra himselfâthe god who weaves fate among stars.
She curls around him, protective, reverent. This odd, radiant creature in her nest is not a mistake.
He is a miracle.
She names him Stayrusâa name from the old tongue, one her heart offers without thinking. It means he who lingers in the light. A soul not meant for shadows, but for dawn.
She doesn't yet know what the future holds. Doesn't know how the rest of the flight will react to this strange, hornless hatchling.
But she knows this: she will raze mountains, shatter skies, and burn entire forests if it means he will live.
Because no gem, no gold, no relic could compare.
This childâthis wonderâis the greatest treasure her hoard has ever known.
idk if they ever went over what Stayrus means so I gave it a meaning lol
I HOPE U ENJOYED !

MY DEAREST DARLING by etta james
âśď¸ â˘áá||á|á||||áâââââá|⢠1:26
âOh nothing, nothing, nothing in this world can keep us apart. My dearest darling, I offer you my heartâ

The N109 Zone was quiet. A rare stillness hung in the air, the kind that only settled when Sylus wasnât buried under layers of business deals and clandestine operations. His mansion, as opulent and polished as it always was, felt different today. Soft and inviting. Like it was letting go of its hard edges and breathing for the first time in a long while.
Sylus lay sprawled on the long, velvet couch in the living room, half-drunk on an old bottle of wine and fully immersed in the mindless drama playing out on the screen in front of him. The Real Housewives of the N109 was in full swing, a show so absurd and over-the-top that it became their guilty pleasure. Ridiculous fights, petty arguments, and larger-than-life charactersâit was a chaotic mess that, for some reason, they both adored.
A small smile tugged at the corner of Sylusâs mouth as the latest character threw a drink in someoneâs face. His eyes twinkled with amusement, a rare vulnerability creeping through his usual mask of control. She, watching him from the doorframe with a tray of snacks in her hands, couldnât help but smile herself. She hadnât seen him this relaxed in ages, and it made her heart swell with something tender and unexpected.
Her gaze softened as she stepped closer, placing the tray down on the coffee table and sinking into the space beside him. Her fingers brushed against the fabric of his shirt as she leaned into him, feeling the weight of his arm stretched across the back of the couch. For a moment, she simply rested her head on his shoulder, basking in the warmth of his presence. This, this was real. Not the leader of Onychinus. Not the ruthless man with blood on his hands. But Sylus. Just Sylus. And in this quiet moment, she found herself seeing himâtruly seeing himâfor the first time.
Sylus stiffened slightly when she wrapped her arms around him, but the hesitation didnât last long. He shifted, pulling her close with a soft grunt, as if it was the most natural thing in the world. His fingers brushed her hair, a gesture so tender it made her chest ache.
âOh, is this a prize for something Iâve done?â he asked, his voice low and teasing, but there was a softness to itâan intimacy she had never known he was capable of showing.
She shook her head, her lips curling into a small, affectionate smile. âNo,â she murmured, her fingers tracing the line of his jaw. âI just love you.â
His chuckle, deep and warm like the burn of whiskey, sent a shiver down her spine. âI love you too, owlet.â
The name, so uniquely his for her, made her heart swell even more. He had a way of making her feel as though she was the only one in the universe. In his arms, with his voice rumbling in her ear, she knew she was safe. More than safeâshe was home.
There was no reason for her love to feel this way. No clear explanation. She hadnât asked for it. Hadnât planned it. Yet, somehow, she had fallen for Sylus Qin in a way that went deeper than logic. Her love for him wasnât simply an emotionâit was a devotion. A fierce, quiet certainty that no matter what came between them, she would always be tethered to him. Even now, with the faintest of fears nestled deep within her, she couldn't let go. She didn't want to.
Sylusâs arms tightened around her, and for a moment, she imagined curling up inside him, becoming part of him, as if somehow doing so would keep him hereâkeep him close. The thought that one day she could lose him, that he could slip away from her grasp, was an unspoken fear she couldnât shake.
She snuggled closer, pressing herself even tighter against his side, as if the sheer closeness could erase that fear. Her fingers dug into the fabric of his shirt, holding on with a desperation that surprised even her. She didnât want to think about the day he might not be there. Not when she could feel his heartbeat beneath her ear. Not when his breath was warm against her skin, steady and reassuring.
He tilted his head, pressing a kiss to the top of her hair, the lightest touch of his lips against her. âDonât worry, my darling,â he whispered, his voice softer now, like the promise of something unwavering. âIâm not going anywhere.â
And for the first time, she believed him. She let herself believe him completely, knowing that whatever they hadâthis rare, fragile, precious connectionâit was theirs.
She tightened her grip on him just a little bit more, sinking deeper into his warmth, not letting go. In this quiet moment, with the laughter of the TV drama echoing in the background, Sylus was not the leader of Onychinus. He was simply the man she loved. And in this stillness, in each heartbeat shared between them, she knew that whatever the future held, she would always be right here, with him. Forever.

cw: mentions of smoking
TOGETHER by matthew halsall
âśď¸ â˘áá||á|á||||áâââââá|⢠â

The fire crackles softly in the dimly lit study, casting flickering gold and amber hues along the polished mahogany furniture. The rich scent of aged whiskey, faint smoke, and warm leather lingers in the air, blending with the deep, intoxicating spice of Tom Ford's Black Lacquerâdark woods, vanilla, and something undeniably sinful.
Sylus sits at his desk, his posture rigid, one hand holding a stack of papers while the other lazily brushes through his hair. Itâs tousled now, a few strands falling over his forehead, the rest swept back from where heâs been sighing, exhaling frustration into the quiet room. His glasses have slipped just slightly down the bridge of his nose, catching the low firelight. The faintest crease forms between his brows, and the cigarette resting at the corner of his lips burns idly, curling smoke trailing upward in delicate tendrils.
The sight of him like thisâblack slacks hugging his frame just right, a fitted sweater pulling slightly where his muscles tense, the glow of the fire painting his sharp features in molten goldâethereal is the only word that comes to mind. Itâs rare to catch him like this, undone in a way that only exhaustion and quiet solitude allow.
Without a word, you step forward, fingers brushing his jaw as you pluck the cigarette from his lips. He exhales sharply at the loss, his lips parting in a small, fleeting poutâjust barely there, but enough to make your stomach flip. You place the cigarette in the ashtray, watching as the embers dim with a final, soft glow.
"Enough," you murmur, voice gentle but firm, fingertips grazing over the back of his hand. "You've been at this since you woke up."
He doesnât protest, but his gaze lingers on the papers for a moment longer before finally setting them down. His hands find your waist, pulling you in, and you sink against him, arms slipping around his shoulders. The moment you press your face into the crook of his neck, inhaling that intoxicating mix of cologne and nicotine, you feel the tension in him start to unravel.
A deep sigh escapes his lipsâone of quiet surrender. His arms tighten around you, warmth seeping through the thick fabric of his sweater as he pulls you closer, as if the weight of the world can finally rest for just a moment in your embrace.
And just like that, the sharp edges of Sylus Qin melt into something softer.
