it took Beatrice two steps down the stairwell to realize that she wasn't alone.
she takes these stairs everyday, arriving and leaving work, going to lunch as she is now - it's the principle of the thing, she'd explained to Camila, citing that their office was only on the 5th floor, besides, Beatrice wasn't one to pass up extra cardio especially after sitting in front of the computer working through feature specs and telling Crimson no, we will not be adding more custom dev hours to your most important tier 1 client who just happens to be owned by your cousin -
she hears it again: a sob.
it echoes through the stairwell, sad and lonely and broken. Beatrice doesn't know who it might be but the sound pulls at her nonetheless, a weight in her chest that gets heavier as she quietly gets closer.
then she sees her. Ava Silva, sitting on one of the steps, curled into herself, leaning heavily into the wall as she cries. Beatrice hasn't worked with her much - Beatrice tries to keep her interactions with Sales down to a minimum - but she knows of her. her smile, her laugh, her sometimes inappropriate jokes, the ease with which she brings joy into a room, that Beatrice has always felt when passing by her in the office. so to see Ava here, like this, is something of a shock.
Beatrice feels that tug again - knows she can't turn away and leave her alone.
she lets her next step fall heavy and the sound is enough to make Ava lift her head, scrub her face, hastily pull at her clothes. "oh - hey, Beatrice, off to lunch?"
Beatrice nods, hesitant. gestures to the space next Ava. "may I?"
"sure," Ava says, clearing her throat of tears.
Beatrice lowers herself down to sit as well, though she chooses one step behind Ava - enough to see most of her face, enough -hopefully- to give her space. it feels heavier here, though, like a storm attempting to swallow her whole. Beatrice isn't sure what to do in the face of such a feeling, sees it clearly even though Ava seems to be trying hard not to show it. but she has to do something.
she lets the heaviness fill her lungs, then thinks of freedom, thinks of air. speaks into the silence: "did you know this stairwell has access to the roof?"
Ava blinks, the tension in her body releasing at the unexpected question. "no," she answers, and Beatrice gets the pleasure of watching in realtime as the words register. "wait are you telling we could've been having rooftop parties all this time?"
Beatrice allows a smile. "not exactly. the engineers found out a couple months ago. they've been cleaning it up little by little." she glances at Ava. "it's better privacy than a stairwell."
the look Ava gives her is something curious, feels her gaze like a physical thing. Beatrice barely keeps herself from shivering.
"sounds like you're speaking from experience."
Beatrice lets out a soft snort through her nose. "you don't work in tech without at least one breakdown every quarter." Ava's laugh is soft but Beatrice still feels a bit of pride at the tendril of amusement peeking through dark clouds.
in her pocket, Beatrice feels her phone vibrate, a reminder of the limited time she has for her break. normally she rushes through it, but she wants the opposite now, wants to take her time, wants to know Ava more.
"well you can't tell from here," Beatrice says, glancing at the drab gray walls of the stairwell, "but it's a beautiful day outside. join me for lunch?"
Ava's surprise is palpable, burning even and Beatrice backpedals immediately. "only if you want, of course, i simply thought -"
"i'd love to." there's a curious, almost mischievous curve to Ava's smile now, something knowing that flusters Beatrice even more.
"right then," Beatrice mutters, standing up in hopes of controlling the sudden blush on her cheeks. still, she can't help the way her gaze stays on Ava, watches her stand - sees the moment she loses her balance.
Beatrice moves without thinking.
the next thing she knows, Ava's in her arms, heart beating wildly in her chest, eyes wide and Beatrice feels herself riding a rollercoaster of emotions: fear and relief and horny -
she pauses. carefully traces the last feeling to a source outside of herself.
Ava's grin is wider than Beatrice has ever seen it, knowing and joyous. "felt that, huh." Ava doesn't bother posing it as a question, likely already feeling the rush going through Beatrice herself.
"i suppose we'll be feeling each other a lot now." later, Beatrice will swear that she meant it innocently, in terms of the soulmate bond in general, but then she feels Ava's instant mischief, sees her grin turn wicked and she groans. maybe she should have taken the elevator after all...
Hear me out when I say this—! It’s all Band!Bakugo x Manager!Reader this- and Drummer!Bakugo x Singer!Reader that…
Where is the rep for Band!Bakugo x TECHNICIAN!Reader??
Imagine the scenarios! Reader setting up the stage lights and tapping down the fogger wires, all the while feeling a pair of eyes from the practicing band on stage. Who would even be able to see you in the wings of the stage anyway?
None other than the grumpy drummer! He’s already memorized the beat of the upcoming songs so well he could play in his sleep, so why not let his gaze wander to the bumbling techie dressed in all black like some stadium ninja~
(So sorry for rambling, I’m in the heat of tech week and this thought sprung from the exhaustion. 😓❤️)
omg i am hugging and kissing you rn hehe i LOVE techie reader 🥺🥺 idk if it's bc i used to read so much fanfic about dudes in bands but i absolutely LOVE the tech aspect !!!! bc it's so fun 🥺 getting to go on the road with them, shooting the shit, taking care of the equipment, making emergency adjustments in the middle of the set !!! 🥺 and doing that for drummer bakugou ajfnfuskak WOOF. i've never been into the manager aspect too much, i think bc i can barely manage myself much less imagine managing a band LOL so i am SMOOCHING your brain 😌😌😌✨️
i hope that you go some rest from your tech week !! 🥺 and that it went well for you, dear !!
i’ve been ill recently so haven’t been able to stuff, but for the first time in almost a month, i bought myself a big pizza takeaway.
my order was this:
• one twelve inch margarita pizza with cheese stuffed crust and extra cheese on top
• a box of chicken wings
• a six inch garlic bread
• a box of chips
• and a litre of cola
all that adds up to 3425 calories. woof.
of course, i ate it all over a period of about an hour and paced myself to make sure i didn’t get too full too fast. but by the end of it i was a panting mess, so stuffed i could barely waddle to my bedroom to rub my stuffed gut.
as you can see from the photo, i’ve had to undo my jeans just to breathe, since my stretched stomach is so full it’s pushing up into my lungs. i let out such a big sigh of relief once i undid the button and felt my belly expand, free. you can still see the lines where the jeans pressed into my poor stuffed belly, squishing it.
after so long not stuffing, this feels orgasmic.
to feel my belly, warm and heavy and full with more food than someone should eat in a whole day stuffed into it in a mere hour is so hot.
my stomach is churning now, making distressed groans as it struggles to digest the monstrous onslaught of food. poor, poor belly.

1 - uhm? idk? oh well someone once liked one of my fics enough to beg me for a part 2 (which i still haven’t written bc i’m lazy 😻) so that must mean they’re pretty cool. is that sufficient, does that count as me complimenting my writing 😓😓😓
5 - “foxy’s back is turned to you, but you can see the look of pure horror and panic on roxy’s face. for a moment you feel bad for her - and the next moment you’re scared she’ll do something dangerous.” yeahh out of context it sounds real weird. you’d have no clue that they’re about to start beating each other to the death lmao
8 - woooo we digging into my drafts with this one, “Fuck, what have I gotten myself into now? You think to yourself.” help the last thing i wrote was smut lmfao-
17 - GRRRR WOOF WOOF FOAMING AT THE MOUTH,, IT IS 1000000000000% ENEMIES TO LOVERS WITH UR BULLY GGRRRR NOMNOMNOM YUMYUM WOOF WOOF GRRR (i say “i find people bullying you bc they like you so weird like just tell me straight up” but then will stay up to 4am writing enemies to lovers with monty from fnaf as your bully help me i have a problem-)
22 - usually anytime i have motivation to write which always ends up being at 2am, don’t we all just love my sleep schedule (on the rare nights i don’t stay up obsessively writing 6 fics at a time or doomscrolling on tumblr, i get an average of 2.5 hours of sleep between 8am and 11am and then have 30 mins to complete my 3 hour Getting Ready Process before work 😻😻)
thanks for the ask sappho ur very funsies :3 do you write at all bc i’d love to send you an ask for this game hehehehehehe >:3333
like you said: CAROL </3 she probably gets tagged in everyone's bullshit twitter feuds and its a hr mess 😓😓😓 like Brad is doxxing everyone (or threatening it but he defo doxxed David for like an hour then took it down lol)
Poppy is trying to get free food off brands by scamming them by saying that she found hair in her food (probably put one of Ian's beard hairs ontop of like a doughnut lmao)
Rachel is having full ass threads/arguments/throwing shit down with twitter incels and man babies and conservatives, I feel like Dana is on stan twt so like kpop, celebs, maybe even anime(?) (I feel like Dana is a MHA watcher don't @ me) so she just rtwts alot of cute stuff and polls and has like cool banners and matching pfps with Rachel. Dana also gets sponsors and brands send her free shit too
Ian. Ian, Ian, himbo daddy viking bear Ian. He posts inspirational quotes everyday 9am on the dot and people actually live for it. HOLY SHIT IAN HAS THE ALPHAS FOLLOWING HIM🦈🦈🦈Has his whole resume in his bio (aka something along the lines of 'body builder, viking, inspiration to generations, God, video game maker, entrepreneur, swag daddy' and probably has like 'DNI Poppy Li' in his bio too lmao
David <3 my sweet David - has his yt linked and tweets regularly about whats going on in the office (aka talks about Ian and Poppy arguing and whether they're gonna leave or divorce or leave him or - yep), posts pictures of dogs and cats and nature (he takes surprisingly REALLY GOOD pics of sunsets) and gains a lot of followers purely for his photography aspect. People tag therapists and hot milfs in your area in his comment sections.
CW has posted 3 times on twitter and it's literally the most random shit. probably accidentally like rtwted a fucking h3ntai panel bc he wanted to share 'art' 💀🤡 like CW. you're gonna get reported and banned my dude. probably has his nebula award as his pfp, banner and as his pinned post.
MY SWEET JO <3 She rtwts every single of Ian's quotes, defo bullies David in his comments, her and Brad scheme by trolling people and telling them they've won a free Mythic Quest package or some shit but when they click the link they end up automatically buying some like $50 set😟💀 Jo also likes to post OOTD and Hair Clip of the Day and people ADOREEEE them (i just love her hair clips okay🙄💅🏽)
listen i'm not gonna add it on the original post but there was a little kittys that said "i don't know shit!!!! but i feel things" and i really need something that's like "i don't feel shit!!!! but i know things" the way i. uh. can't process any time i genuinely feel even a moderate amount of emotion
