Jealous Geralt Would Include:

(REQUESTS ARE OPEN)

Link to Part One: Geralt Being In Love With You Would Include.

THE WITCHER MASTERLIST

---

You were his. No one else's.

So when other men or women flirted with you, he would become angry.

And Jealous (though he would never admit to it).

On bad days the person that dared to flirt with you would get death threats and a punch in the face.

On good days he would sit in silence, glaring at the person until they got the message.

He didn't like PDA. But if he spotted someone staring at you, he would wrap an arm around you.

You found it endearing when he got jealous. The fact that he was so protective made your heart flutter.

Most of the time he would blow things out of proportion. For example; a tavern waiter made eye contact with you as he placed the drinks on the table. Geralt didn't like how the waiter looked at you, so he stuck his leg out and tripped the waiter when you weren't looking.

When in public, it was difficult to distinguish Geralts usual grumpy mood from his jealous grumpy mood.

But in private, he made it very... very clear.

He would throw you onto the bed, ravaging your body with kisses.

He would pin you down - arms above your head as he hungrily kissed your lips, mumbling 'You are mine ' against your mouth.

Before long, the heated make-out session would turn into him passionately making love to you.

He would force you to look him in the eyes and say 'I'm yours' as he thrust in and out, getting faster every time you whimpered it.

Afterwards, he would hold you in his arms, kissing the top of your head as you snuggled against his chest.

"Jealous?" You would jokingly say.

"Me? Never."

"I want everyone to know that you're mine"

“I want everyone to know that you’re mine.”

The sound of skin slapping against skin filled the room of a stranger. The door was open slightly, making it all the more dirty. Jealous Harry paired with a horny Y/N had them in situations that managed to get them in trouble before, but these were her absolute favorite.

His hand fisted her hair as he fucked into her, slick cunt swallowing him up with each thrust. His body covered hers, her breasts against his chest as he worked it. Every action proved his ownership over her. Each deep, hard thrust had a purpose. Passion. Showing that Y/N belonged to him. The hair was used to control her, tilting her head so his mouth had room to bite and suck at her jaw. Leaving love bites and letting the bruises begin to blossom as he made a nice trail down her body. Everyone who looked at her would know she was taken.

Her eyes were shut as his warm mouth bit and sucked over the sensitive skin of her neck and she felt him filling her over and over again. Today she was especially sensitive, each thrust spreading her open making another shudder of pleasure rush through her body. “S’my good girl. All those fucking idiots… think they can look at you? Think they’ve got a chance? Think they can even compare to how m’fucking you.” His jealousy had been flared up and it had her horny beyond belief.

“They’re gonna go home n’get off in their beds. Maybe they’ll pass by the door since it’s open a bit, and I’ll let them the privilege of watching me fuck you. But they’re never going to have this perfect, hot cunt wrapped around their cocks.” He snarled against her skin, pace picking up. She made a mess around his cock, Harry smug as he looked down between them to see the creamy cunt smeared all over his length, making it glisten slightly each time he pulled out. It was something he never got tired of seeing.

“Makin’ a mess all over me. That’s my good girl. Layin’ here and taking me cause you know who you belong to. Even your cunt knows who it belongs to, making such a mess as soon as I get inside of you. Knows that no one else can fuck you this good.” The girl’s mouth dropped open as he filled her deeper, legs clinging around his waist as her loud moan filled the room. His smug smirk grew as he increased the pace, perfecting the angle.

“Tha’s it, my sweet girl. Be nice n’loud f’me.” His slurred speech was dark and muttered right against her mouth. “Let everyone know just how good I make you feel.”

jealousy headcannons — jujutsu kaisen

a.n: (cackles) i’ve been wanting to do this since forever. LET’S GO

characters: my fav bois megumi fushiguro and yuji itadori

warnings: jealousy…? idek if that counts but whateva

gender: i kept thinking that the reader is female, but no gender pronouns are specified, so neutral…??

1. yuji itadori

since this is yuji we’re talking about, his jealousy will NOT show

if someone were to flirtily give you compliments, this man would nod and vigorously agree.

“yeah, totally!! i don’t even know how i got lucky enought to be able to date [name]!!”

you facepalm. 

but it was really cute, so you just shooed the person away and gave yuji a big hug ma man deserves all the love in the world

that would be the average of the normal jealousy scenario. 

however, on ocassions that the person was taking too much of your time and getting a bit handsy, plus making you uncomfortable, he’d put a foot down.

“hey, buddy, if you don’t want your hands to be snapped off, i suggest you keep ‘em off of my [name].”

your eyes would widen like (•_•) at first.

yuji was never the posessive type and he rarely ever got irritated, so seeing him on the verge of using black flash just because some random perv had their finger within a 200 mm radius of your skin, you felt really treasured and happy. 

and you overheated with a blush.

on another point of view, i think he won’t realize that he is jealous.

so, suppose you and fushiguro were having a conversation about something and it lasted for way too long because you both were so invested in it.

yuji did not like it. not one bit.

he’ll just become more pouty, more childish, and, in a curse king’s opinion, more annoying.

he’ll try his best to push down the urge to grab you and run away, since he knows that it’d be very selfish and rude. poor baby… why the hell are you even looking at fushiguro when you have him?? >:(

he’ll keep up with making puppy eyes at the two of you from far across the room.

sukuna would be savouring every second of yuji’s distress, and he would be doing it for the rest of your and fushiguro’s conversation.

well, if it even was properly completed.

yuji would snap eventually.

he’d get up, not giving a single frick, throw you over his shoulder and run off.

fushiguro’s like 😶😐🤨🙄

he’ll apologize a lot once you’re alone.

and you will forgive him. 

10/10 will cling to you like a starfish to a glass for the rest of the day.

give this precious darling a hug, a headpat, a kiss and all the love in the world or else i’m taking him

2. megumi fushiguro

hats off, this man was a hard piece of work to write.

firstly, as he made clear to Todo, his type of person would be someone with character.

since he picked you, allow me to applaud you, because your character must be off the charts unbreakable.

thus i’m thinking that he won’t outright go nuts and granolla when someone gets way too comfy with you, but he’d stand by and non-verbally tell the person to FRICK RIGHT OFF.

normally, his signature glare always does the trick and not only the person fliritng with you, but every single personage within his eyeshot would flee like a bat out of hell.

you’d be confused on what was going on, and megumi would just have his signature poker face on when you’d ask him about it. 

he do be smirking when you ain’t looking tho.

even if he is mostly chill, he will get jealous of anyone or anything that you give too much attention to.

so what did you expect him to do when you were all over his demon dog? join you in calling the white furred beast a ‘good boy’ for no apparent reason??

lol you wish.

he just sat there on his bed with a (►__◄) face.

the dog didn’t mind his owner’s glare, your hair smelled nice.

you, on the other hand, were anything but stupid. you caught onto his slight pout behind that ‘i’m chill’ facade of his.

so you gave the dog’s head one ruffle, before trying to get a petty and salty jujutsu sorcerer to talk to you for the rest of the day.

last meal; jean kirstein x reader

summary: you and jean are in a relationship, and finally get some private time for a cute picnic date the day before he goes on the mission to marley. it’s v cute but also ur both horny!

content: smut / nsfw 18+. minors dni. (public/outdoors sex, dracylphilya, size kink, fingering, thigh riding, use of “good girl/baby”, praise kink, female bodied reader, unprotected sex, creampie) some fluff for good measure.

i am new to this pls let me know if i should add anything!!

word count: 3.3k words of unedited content

a/n: i saw a cottage core inspired jean post and this idea immediately popped into my head. i also kept thinking back to the sunset blush scene and it felt destined lmao. i thought it was gonna be shorter but i guess i get carried away lol. pls feel free to send me requests or ideas or give any advice on what you liked!! thanku!<3

Everything is painted with gold. The sun hanging low in the sky, despite the late hour, still warms your skin. You and Jean walk away from the Scout Headquarters, warmth of the evening allowing you to roam without coats. 

He’s in a tight cream shirt, braces holding up darker toned pants. A simple hat sits on his head, shading his eyes from the setting sun. You, a simple sage dress, loose and flowing around your legs. The long grass tickles your flesh, and the two of you laugh as you try running through the field, lifting your limbs stupidly high to jump over the pasture. 

Jean snorts at you, watching you flap around. The orange hue of dusk makes your hair shine, your skin glow beautifully. And as you look up at him, a wide and goofy smile spreading across your face, he can see all the flecks and details of varying colours in your eyes. And it takes his breath away.

If a scene feels awkward, slow, or just not-quite-right…

(1) Try taking a piece of action and plopping it in the middle of a drama scene, or plop a piece of drama in the middle of an action scene. (Give your character something they need to overcome in order to get back to their goal.)

(2) Try taking out supporting characters who might be helping the POV character achieve their goal. (Make the POV character responsible for the goals and safety of all the characters involved.)

(3) Try upping the stakes just as the POV character realizes they’re going to fail. (Make the POV character give more effort then they originally wanted to or thought they could; make them sacrifice more to reach their goal.)

(4) Try rewriting the scene in a completely different, more suspenseful setting. (Give the characters a time limit, distractions, and/or the chance of being overheard/stopped/etc.)

Helpful things to consider along the way…

What goal does your POV character want to achieve in this scene? Who or what is stopping them from reaching this goal, and why?

Is your POV character developing, learning, and making decisive choices during this scene?

Are all your character’s emotions progressing naturally, and influencing their actions and decisions?

How does this scene impact the rest of the story? If you remove it from the story, what changes?

And if all else fails: Ask someone you trust to give you detailed feedback!

Hi! Your blog is amazing and really helpful! The Master List has helped me so much! Anyways, I was wondering if you had any tips on writing “the almost scene” (non-sexual). Like, ways to build up to it and such. Thanks!

Writing the “Almost Sex but Not Quite” Scene

First, I’m so glad you’re enjoying the blog and have found the master list to be helpful. I hope this post will be helpful, too, but I’m not 100% I’m interpreting your question correctly, so if I missed the mark, please feel free to re-submit a clarification. :)

Here goes!

1) The Long-Term Build Up

Building up to an “Almost Sex but Not Quite” scene is much the same as building up to a sex scene. You need to build up the sexual tension between the two characters ahead of the moment where they actually start making out. These posts will help with that:

The Subtle Signs of Romantic Interest and LoveGuide: Characters Falling in LoveTransitioning Through Levels of Affection

2) The Short-Term Build Up

When the moment arrives that they’re finally making out for the first time, you want to give the scene as much emotional, sensual impact as you can without them actually engaging in intercourse. To do that, try the following:

Build lots of sexual tension into whatever they’re doing prior to making out. Whether they’re having a suggestive/flirtatious conversation, laughing and romping through a flower-filled field, or on a tenderly romantic date, there are lots of opportunities to push some of that long-term build up from above to the brink.

Explore what both characters are thinking and feeling (emotionally) in the moments leading up to making out and during those first moments. Are they nervous? Excited? Embarrassed? Aching for more? Letting your reader know what’s going through the character’s minds can add a lot of impact to that moment.

Use the five senses to ramp up the description of what’s happening. What does your character hear? See? Smell? Taste? Touch? All of these things play a role in ramping up the anticipation of each subsequent touch, kiss, utterance of love and/or desire, etc.

Remember to touch on internal sensations being felt by the characters. 

3) The Cessation

If you don’t want your characters to go through with intercourse, you’ll need to figure out how to stop their make out session. There are lots of ways you can do this, so choose something that works best for the story. Some possibilities:

One or both characters puts on the brakes, saying they’re not ready to go any further at that moment.

The more fervent making out slows down and turns into a session of cuddling and conversation, maybe even blissful sleep.

The make out session is interrupted. This could be a family member or roommate arriving home unexpectedly, a text message/phone call, the doorbell ringing, a strange noise in the house, noticing the time and realizing they’re late for something.

One participant suddenly becomes angry about something, perhaps recalling an unresolved argument or the other person said something upsetting.

4) The Fade to Black

If you want your characters to go through with intercourse, but you just don’t want to show it happening, you can make use of something known as the “fade to black.” The name comes from TV shows and movies when two characters are about to have sex or starting to have sex, so the scene would literally fade to black and open on a new scene where something else was happening. The best way to write a “fade to black” is to leave off with something that implies what’s going to happen in a way that is interesting without being cheesy. Something along the lines of “we spent the rest of the night exploring our love for each other” but less cheesy and more poetic.

5) The Cut to After

Whether you cease the make out scene before it gets to sex, or let your characters have sex behind closed doors, you may want to consider how you’re going to handle the “after” scene. That may be immediately after they stop making out (or after they’re done in a “fade to black” scenario), or it could be hours later, the next day, days later… whatever. But making sure to explore what that moment meant to your character and their relationship is an important part of doing it well. Did it change anything? Did it make them closer? Did it make things awkward? Are they excited to go again? Do they feel ready for more? These are all issues worth exploring, unless, of course, it was a one night stand.

Best of luck writing your “almost” scene! :)

[niwirierror404]

I want to write sex scenes within my story. I know you described elsewhere how to portray them without being smutty, but I want to put in a little more "heat" into the scenes. How could I describe body parts without it being graphic but also not using stilted technical terms?

Writing Sex Scenes with a Little More Heat

When it comes to naming body parts in sex scenes, you have four options:

1) Technical - penis, vagina, breast, etc.

2) Graphic - c*ck, c*nt, titties, etc.

3) Euphemistic - love muscle, mound, lady pillows, etc.

4) Some combination of the three...

Different readers and writers have their preferences, but many feel that technical terms are stilted, that graphic words are inelegant, or that euphemisms are corny. So, what’s left?

You don’t have to name body parts to add heat to your sex scene!

I know you may be thinking “What??? How can I write a spicy sex scene without naming body parts?” but I’m here to say YOU CAN!!! Naming body parts isn’t the thing that gives sex scenes more heat. In fact, for many readers, naming body parts can actually kill the mood. So, what gives sex scenes more heat? Emotional, sensory descriptions.

Emotion plays a HUGE role in ramping up the heat in a sex scene. Not only does it play a huge role in building the chemistry and sexual tension between the couple ahead of the sex scene, it also plays a big role during it. What is your character thinking and feeling in the moments leading up to, during, and after the sex? What emotions are they picking up from their partner? When you bring the emotions of the characters into it, you can make the reader feel those same emotions, and that alone can raise the heat.

Body language and facial expressions are part and parcel with emotional descriptions. How are their bodies responding to the sensations resulting from the sexual relations? Heavy-lidded eyes, licking one’s lips, open mouth, biting one’s lip, raising one’s hips... these visual sensory descriptions tell the reader a lot and can really spice things up.

Sound is another important sensory description that can kick the heat up a notch. A groan low in the throat, ragged breathing, a gasp or a sigh, an elated giggle, even the creak of a bed or the rhythmic thump of the headboard hitting the wall--these are all things that can bring the reader into to moment and make them sweat.

Smell is a sensory description that can get gross or raunchy if you’re not careful, but it can be very sensual, too. Minty breath, cologne, the scent of someone’s soap or shampoo, the sweet scent of sweat on the neck, or even environmental smells like wood smoke from a campfire or the salty breeze coming off the ocean. There’s lots of room to be clever about it.

Taste is can be used without being raunchy, too. The taste of a kiss can be described, maybe tasting a breath mint on the tongue or wine on the lips. A little bit of salt when kissing the skin, or tasting foods or flavored items used in foreplay. 

Touch and physical feeling is also important. The feel of things like: smooth skin, the bristle of facial hair, taut muscles, satin sheets or whatever surface the couple is making out on. The feeling of hot breath on the neck, the weight of the other person’s body, the sensation of electric sparks or butterflies in the stomach.

Locations and actions can also be described without getting into actual part names. What are the hands doing? They can get tangled in hair, wander below the belt or under the shirt, cup a cheek... What is the mouth doing? Nibbling ears, biting the lip, trailing kisses down a neck.

Word play can also be employed to give things a little more sensuality. Fireworks, tumbling into heaven, being transported to utopia, naked bodies dancing among the stars... if you’re careful not to get too ornate (beware the purple prose) you can usually employ a metaphor, simile, or other word play in a way that turns up the heat in the nicest of ways.

Bottom line: while it’s certainly fine to name body parts if that’s what you want to do (you can typically find word suggestions and guides online--also, Bryn Donovan’s Master Lists for Writers has a list of 500 great words for sex scenes), don’t feel like you have to name body parts just to write a steamy sex scene. Capitalize on emotional, sensory descriptions and you’ll never have to employ a single rod, slit, or bud to get your reader hot and bothered.

Hello! I often find myself in a situation where I have a group of characters, and I find myself finding multiple ways that they could end up in a relationship, so I don't really know who would be the right one for them. Do you have any advice how to spot the chemistry between characters, and decide on what's going to be the endgame?

Guide: Creating Romantic Chemistry 

I want to start by saying that chemistry can exist in any relationship–not just romantic ones. While this guide is specific to romantic chemistry, if you take out the romantic elements, some of these tips could apply to other relationships, too.

Specific to Anon’s question: You don’t spot romantic chemistry between your characters–you create it. As much as we like to think of our characters as real people independent of our imaginations, they’re not. Chemistry can’t exist between two characters unless you put in all the necessary ingredients.

What is romantic chemistry? Romantic chemistry is a balanced exchange of physical, intellectual, social, or emotional energy between two people–a constantly shifting dynamic (or “back and forth”) of opposition and harmony. It’s often said to begin as a “spark” or “click” between two people that indicates there’s something special between them.

How does romantic chemistry work? When two people first interact, or when they begin to interact in a new way or under new circumstances, they begin to respond to social cues and subliminal signals from one another. Social cues would be things like banter, flirting, discovering things in common, sharing, and learning each other’s relationship availability. Subliminal signals are more subtle, such as your brain responding to the other person’s open body language without you realizing it, or your brain detecting hints of sexual desire from the other person and reacting by ramping up your sex-related hormones. It can even be non-sexual but purely romantic, where your brain simply detects a million subtle signs of the other person’s interest without you being aware of it.

Romantic chemistry between two PEOPLE requires two or more of the following key ingredients:

1) Physical Attraction - your characters share a desire to touch and be touched. In romance, this is often but not always sexual.

2) Emotional Attraction - your characters share a desire to connect on a deeper level, to learn about each other’s feelings, beliefs, opinions, and experiences.

3) Intellectual Attraction - your characters share a desire to engage with each other’s interests, knowledge, and intellect.

4) Social Attraction - your characters share a desire to interact with each other on a social level, wanting to do social things together like hang out with friends, go to parties, go on dates, spend time with each other laughing and talking, and doing the kinds of social things that friends and romantic partners tend to do.

Romantic chemistry between two CHARACTERS requires the following key ingredients:

1) Fully realized characters - your characters must be fully developed people with all of the things required for good character development.

2) Something to forge the bond - your characters must discover at least one thing in common when they first begin interacting, which creates a desire between them to continue interacting.

3) Some type of attraction - your characters must feel a “spark” based on one of the types of attraction listed above as they continue to interact, which makes them want to get to know each other and leads to the formation of at least one other type of attraction. Consider which types of attraction would be most important to your characters based on who they are.

4) Dance of “opposition and harmony” - your characters should continue to interact as the story progresses, through banter, flirtation, touch, argument, and conflict, but always in a way that is balanced between them.

5) Conflict, tension, stakes and thematic alignment - every story needs a conflict, every character needs a conflict, and every relationship needs a conflict. Your characters’ personal conflicts and relationship conflicts should play off each other and be pertinent to the story’s theme, with each character representing different elements of the story’s theme and conflict. There should also be stakes to the relationship: what happens if the relationship works? What happens if it doesn’t? What do the characters have to lose by being together? What do they have to lose by not being together?

Romantic chemistry visuals can be achieved in a variety of ways. My post The Subtle Signs of Romantic Interest and Love will help with some of the internal and external cues. Remember, your characters are building a bond. They need to learn to trust one another. They need to learn to share and compromise, give and receive. My posts Guide: Characters Falling in Love and Transitioning Through Levels of Affection  offers additional help. 

Remember: two people with romantic chemistry are like a thunderstorm. Clouds form and crash together producing lightning, thunder, rain, and rainbows. Romance is BIG, messy, and beautiful. The most important thing you can do for your couple once their chemistry is established is to make sure there’s always forward motion. Your characters need to progress through the relationship and ultimately change one another in ways they’d never dreamed of.

Here are some posts that may help you craft your characters’ romantic chemistry. I’ll include the ones from above again, too:

I was wondering if you had any tips for writing romantic sex. I want to write a sex scene, but not too smutty, rather a very romantic one.

Writing a Romantic Sex Scene

You can accomplish quite a lot without getting too graphic. One thing you can do is avoid naming any body parts. You can infer an area, like, “Her hands went below my belt,” but by avoiding describing or naming body parts, you leave a lot more to the imagination.

Try focusing on emotions, body language, and the senses. What is your character thinking and feeling? How is their and the other person’s body responding? What are the visual and audio cues, like a groan low in the throat, ragged breathing, an elated giggle, or blushing, low-lidded eyes, licking one’s lips. Hands can explore and roam into sensitive territory without getting graphic. Hands can get tangled in hair, mouths can nibble ears, warm breath can be felt in the crook of a neck... lots of possibilities.

Look online for compilations of swooniest/most romantic love scenes in YA (where graphic is a no-no) for examples of how others have done it. :)

How to write the first chapter

I have been studying all kinds of advice and tips on writing (books, websites and blogs) over the last few years, so I thought I would share this with you. This is a summary of tips about writing first chapters I find the most helpful.

The first chapter contains:

The basic setting

The point of view

Introduction of the protagonist

The goal of the protagonist 

The voice

The mood and tone of the story

The beginning needs to have a reason to be the beginning 

Introduction of the main character’s daily life

A sense of something missing or out of place in the main character’s life

Highlight what’s special about the main character

Foreshadows what the conflict will be about / teases the plot of the story so the readers can decide if it’s for them or not

But also leaves questions that will have the reader wondering what will happen next in concrete

The protagonist in action doing and wanting something, not sitting and thinking. 

Basically = character, conflict and setting

How would one write a realistic argument?

How to Write a Realistic Argument

Everyone argues.

Whether it be with a friend, sibling, parent, or coworker—arguments usually break out whenever there’s a stark contrast in opinion over certain things, which can happen a lot.

There are a variety of different kinds of arguments involving a wide range of people with different tempers. Because of this, writing arguments can be a bit difficult, but fear not, for this post is here to help!

1. Know The Writing Style of an Argument

For a very serious argument, the characters probably won’t stop and listen to what their opponent has to say.

It’s quick, choppy, and broken—each character shoving their emotions at one another and trying to get their point across without bothering to understand the other side’s opinions.

There should be a lot of em-dashes and italicized words for emphasis, and if it’s between two people, you want as few speech tags as possible; because there’s going to be a lot of back and forth, speech tags can serve to trip up the flow of the argument rather than help them.

When you do want speech tags or if there are multiple people arguing at once here’s some examples you can use:

Roared

Screamed

Yelled

Bellowed

Barked

Hissed

Shouted

Accused

Interrupted

Growled

Snarled
