Sunday Morning | Riorgail Week 2025 Day 6: Domestic

summary: It's Sunday morning and we have nowhere else to be. Aside from this comfy bed and each other's arms.

word count: 406

warnings: none

a.n: Hii, so I just wanted to write at least a little something for Day 6 prompt, Domestic, and this came out. Just our favorite couple cuddling in bed lol

Riorgail Week 2025 is hosted by @empyreanevents 💕

Read below or in AO3

I could get used to waking up like this, is the first thought that crosses my mind as I stir awake. The first rays of sunshine filter through the big window next to Xaden's bed, a soft glow illuminating his big room. I look to the side to face him, and a small smile takes over my lips, taking in his sleeping form. He is still resting, on his stomach, his right arm draped over my waist.

I scooch closer to him and brush a soft strand of dark hair away from his eyes, trying not to wake him yet. These last few weeks have been quite hectic, so I'm glad he is finally resting. I barely saw him because he was so busy with his work project, but right now, he is all mine.

The small alarm clock on his bedside table tells me that it is a little after seven. On other days, Xaden would already be up and about, making his pre-workout shake in the kitchen. Today, he is sound asleep next to me. I can't help but kiss his forehead and snuggle next to his warm body.

"Vi?" I hear him mutter against my hair. I look up to meet his hypnotizing onyx eyes, and a warm, fuzzy feeling invades me when he kisses the top of my head. 

"Good morning, sleepy head," I tease.

He grabs my waist and pulls me on top of his naked torso with ease. "Good morning, love".

I sigh in content, resting my head on his chest to listen to his steady heartbeat. I don't ever want to leave this bed. Or his strong arms.

"You slept okay?" Xaden asks me, threading his fingers through my messy hair.

"Yeah, I did. You?"

"Same. I always sleep better when I'm with you," he confesses. It's not the first time he says it, but it never fails to melt my insides. The hold this man has on me…

We don't say anything else, as we bask in the early morning sunlight. These are the moments that I love the most in our relationship, when we just enjoy each other's company in the first hours of the day without having to exchange words. 

"Let's stay like this for a bit more." Xaden cups my face to kiss me, caressing his soft lips with mine.

We don't have anywhere to be, so there is no rush. "Yeah, I'd like that."

sundress season headcanons

A/N: it’s summer, you know what that means. mini warning for slutty horny nasty rooster (implied), but on the real i KNOW this boy loves a good sundress like do not go near him in that thing so help you god

Pairing: Bradley “Rooster” Bradshaw x Fem!Reader

this freak and his sundresses, let me tell you

the shorter the better

no really though, especially if they are floral, light blue, frilly, etc he’s gone

fingers absentmindedly playing with the hem of your dress the second you’re sitting near enough (or on his lap, which he prefers)

he gets excited every time a package is delivered under your name when it gets to the summer time thinking maybe you went on an online dress shopping spree again (it was one time, but he’ll never get over the try-on haul you gave him)

you cannot take him into a store the second the weather hits 70°F because he will be going around picking out every sundress they sell and handing you the pile while ushering you into a changing room

and he refuses to leave that little stool in the corner until you’ve tried on every single one for him

generally beware of wearing one around him because you will end up on the nearest flat surface, including the wall

he can’t help it! god forbid a guy has a guilty pleasure!

hangman always teasing bradley for being absolutely unable to tear his eyes away from you (in general, but especially when you’re wearing a sundress)

like do not try to get his attention, he is long lost in his mind palace with you and your sundress

matter of fact, all the daggers (even maverick) teasing him for blatant flirting/drooling/goo goo eyes/pda whenever you’re all together

they call it gross and yes maybe one kiss is enough and maybe his hand placement doesn’t have to be so obvious, but everyone’s looking for their person and they’re all glad bradley found his

honestly prefers sundresses to bikinis at this point

seriously just go commando underneath and skinny dip (kidding! unless…)

to bradley, sundresses show just enough skin and have the perfect amount of movement in the cool summer breeze

of course, he won’t complain if you wear a sundress as a cover up for beach day

he still lets the image of you tugging the dress off to reveal that skimpy number underneath linger in his mind

the photo he keeps in his wallet is of you smiling wide in a little white sundress

a constant reminder to pop the question so he can see you in that dream dress you’re always giggling to nat about

oh yeah and that necklace he got you? uh huh the one with his initial on it? yeah if you pair that with a sundress, you’re not making it out the house

talk about a danger zone

he’s so touch and go. he could be content driving his bronco with you shotgun and on the way to dinner plans, but if he catches a glimpse of your bare thigh peeking out from underneath the skirt? he’s turning right around (or pulling over and fumbling his way into the backseat with you)

he once literally drooled on himself when you came bouncing out of the bathroom in a short sundress and tall boots

are you trying to send him into cardiac arrest? cause you’re doing a damn good job of it in this get up

he can’t keep his hands off you the first time you test this combo out

“hey, cowgirl” & “wanna save a horse?” & “hold on, let’s match” & “does your boyfriend know how lucky he is?” & “can you leave the boots on?”

actually don’t even think about trying to take any of it off

he’s getting down and dirty without so much as the tug of a zipper or the pop of a button

all he needs is your skirt flipped up and a can-do attitude

boots and all

the worst part is: you know what the dresses do to him

not-so-innocent sundress strip teases when he’s busy or distracted

he should’ve known better anyways; nothing is more important than his pretty lady

if he’s being sassy, you put on his declared favorite sundress and flit around the living area humming and dancing until he can’t stand not having his hands on you any longer

but you really can’t stay mad at each other for that long anyway

not while he’s eating you alive with his eyes and not while he can see the delicate lace of your bra peeking from beneath the low neckline

speaking of dancing, it’s gotta be one of his favorite sundress season activities (just below the obvious #1)

seeing you shimmy around in a flowy dress while he plays your favorite song on the hard deck piano

or you swaying beside him on the piano stool while the fabric hugs your thighs

or him dancing right there with you on the floor when he’s had enough of the sidelines. let the jukebox take over for a while so he can dance with his girl.

what’s better than his baby in a sundress, though, has gotta be the spark in her eye or the catch in her breath or the way she moves right up against him like it’s not just love but gravity

he’ll have you in every season. sundresses are just a perk.

Such a fun series!

𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐛𝐲 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭

(a bradley bradshaw x reader slasher story)

In 1998, North Island was the scene of a trail of murders, claiming the life of your mother. Ten years on, fate brings you back to the island, in the form of your best friend Jake's wedding. An estranged father, the boy you left behind, and the memories of your mother's death leave you less than excited for the trip home. But when the wedding party begins to get picked off one-by-one, you're forced to grapple with the idea that your mother's murder may have only been the beginning.

inspired by harper's island (2009), reader is maverick's daughter but mother's appearance is not described, and no physical descriptions of reader are made beyond having hair

warnings: 18+, mdni! violence (i mean, it's a slasher, so it would be weird if there wasn't violence), explicit sexual content (pinv, oral (both), fingering, etc)

This. Literally this.

truly the most american thing is Big Drink. more than late stage capitalism, more than an unparalleled cultural focus on individualism, more than 9/11 jokes

what binds all americans together culturally is Big Drink

and you might be saying "is this fat shaming" or "but mayor bloomberg outlawed Big Drink in nyc" or "gays are so annoying about their iced coffee" or some other dumb comment but no open your minds, Big Drink isn't just sugary or caffeinated beverages

every day i see one of you hydration bitches (affectionate) on the train with a water bottle so big a toddler could drown in it. that too is Big Drink. we literally invented a bigger beer can (tall boy) in wisconsin in the 60s in the service of Big Drink

anyway i never feel more american then when i have Big Drink in my hands

Since it's watermelon season!

My grandfather used to grow watermelons, among other things, and he told me about most of this, especially the orange spot. Those are the absolute best!

[sparkles121127]

“The pain. The mess. Give it to me. I’ll hold it. I know that sounds ludicrous, but I’ll find a way.” I lace our fingers. “I will hold everything you don’t want to feel because I love every part of you.”

“You already hold my soul and now you want my pain? Getting greedy, Violence.” He brings my hand to his mouth and brushes a kiss over my knuckles before letting go.

----

You know, if you told me that this was the dialogue between Violet and Xaden that birthed Onyx Storm, I would believe you.

This was the THESIS of the book and the reason why I believed that Onyx Storm was a big love letter of Violet to Xaden. That line. Right there.

Indeed, the Hedotis chapters were one of the best highlights of the book. It really showcased how far Violet AND Sgaeyl would go just to be there FOR Xaden. Yup, not only Violet. Not only Sgaeyl. BOTH of them and he deserved both of their love at that moment!

Hedotis chapters were my faves for a reason: on top of everything, it gave us yet again a display of VIOLET'S. CUNNING. BEHAVIOR. AT. BEST. And remember, this was right after she unknowingly wielded AT Unnbriel WHILE we're still reeling on what she did in Deverelli. Good gods, this woman.
