Doing this "Filipino Literature in exchange for donations to Palestinian families" project during the start of the ao3 donation drive and only getting a grand total of one (1) proof of donation submitted while the fanfiction slop website gets over $200,000 and counting really brings home, above all, the fucked up priorities of all of you fAnDom-FaNdoM people during a literal genocide but also how juvenile your tastes in reading material is and how much you all lack commitment to actually seeking out so-called "marginalized voices" in art and literature.

I could not be more digusted, but I'm gonna keep going. Helping get aid to families in Gaza is what matters.

Hello, I am reading Filipino short stories, and in exchange for a minimum £5 donation to the fundraisers below, you can listen to me read it:

Karam's fundraiser, last donation 7 days ago:

Ismail's fundraiser, only 2 donations in the last 12 hours:

Rewaa and @mohamedmoner1994 's fundraiser, last donation 3 hours ago:

@yousefmoner's fundraiser, last donation 2 hours ago:

I will be reading another, different short story this week. Please look out for the posts I will make about it in the following days.

Please let this incentivize you into donating to Mohamed and Yousef's families above, but if you really have no interest in what I'm doing and would still rather read your fanfiction, at the very least be motivated by compassion for these families, and don't give any more money to the already $200,000-rich fanfic site.

Below is an audio excerpt of my recording for the story last week. I sent a full copy to the one user who submitted proof of donation, but you can still listen to the whole thing if you want. Just donate, send an ask with the screenshot, and indicate you would like to receive THIS particular story:

MAY DAY EVE

The old people had ordered that the dancing should stop at ten o’clock but it was almost midnight before the carriages came filing up to the front door, the servants running to and fro with torches to light the departing guests, while the girls who were staying were promptly herded upstairs to the bedrooms, the young men gathering around to wish them a good night and lamenting their ascent with mock sighs and moanings, proclaiming themselves disconsolate but straightway going off to finish the punch and the brandy though they were quite drunk already and simply bursting with wild spirits, merriment, arrogance, and audacity, for they were young bucks newly arrived from Europe; the ball had been in their honor; and they had waltzed and polka-ed and bragged and swaggered and flirted all night and were in no mood to sleep yet—no, caramba, not on this moist tropic eve! Not on this mystic May eve!—with the night still young and so seductive that it was madness not to go out, not to go forth—and serenade the neighbors! cried one; and swim in the Pasig! cried another; and gather fireflies! cried a third—whereupon there arose a great clamor for coats and capes, for hats and canes and they were presently stumbling out among the medieval shadows of the foul street where a couple of street lamps flickered and a last carriage rattled away upon the cobbles while the blind black houses muttered hush-hush, their tiled roofs looming like sinister chessboards against a wild sky murky with clouds, save where an evil young moon prowled about in a corner or where a murderous wind whirled, whistling and whining, smelling now of the sea and now of the summer orchards and wafting unbearable childhood fragrances of ripe guavas to the young men trooping so uproariously down the street that the girls who were disrobing upstairs in the bedrooms scattered screaming to the windows, crowded giggling at the windows, but were soon sighing amorously over those young men bawling below; over those wicked young men and their handsome apparel, their proud flashing eyes, and their elegant mustaches so black and vivid in the moonlight that the girls were quite ravished with love, and began crying to one another how carefree were men but how awful to be a girl and what a horrid, horrid world it was, till old Anastasia plucked them off by the ear or the pigtail and chased them off to bed—while from up the street came the clackety-clack of the watchman’s boots on the cobbles, and the clang-clang of his lantern against his knee, and the mighty roll of his great voice booming through the night: “Guardia sereno-o-o! A las doce han dado-o-o!”

And it was May again, said the old Anastasia. It was the first day of May and witches were abroad in the night, she said—for it was a night of divination, a night of lovers, and those who cared might peer in a mirror and would there behold the face of whoever it was they were fated to marry, said the old Anastasia as she hobbled about picking up the piled crinolines and folding up shawls and raking slippers to a corner while the girls climbing into the four great poster beds that overwhelmed the room began shrieking with terror, scrambling over each other and imploring the old woman not to frighten them.

“Enough, enough, Anastasia! We want to sleep!”

“Go scare the boys instead, you old witch!”

“She is not a witch, she is a maga. She was born on Christmas Eve!”

“St. Anastasia, virgin and martyr.”

“Huh? Impossible! She has conquered seven husbands! Are you a virgin, Anastasia?”

“No, but I am seven times a martyr because of you girls!”

“Let her prophesy, let her prophesy! Whom will I marry, old gypsy? Come, tell me.”

“You may learn in a mirror if you are not afraid.”

“I am not afraid, I will go!” cried the young cousin Agueda, jumping up in bed.

“Girls, girls—we are making too much noise! My mother will hear and will come and pinch us all. Agueda, lie down! And you, Anastasia, I command you to shut your mouth and go away!”

“Your mother told me to stay here all night, my grand lady!”

“And I will not lie down!” cried the rebellious Agueda, leaping to the floor. “Stay, old woman. Tell me what I have to do.”

“Tell her! Tell her!” chimed the other girls.

The old woman dropped the clothes she had gathered and approached and fixed her eyes on the girl. “You must take a candle,” she instructed, “and go into a room that is dark and that has a mirror in it and you must be alone in the room. Go up to the mirror and close your eyes and say:

Mirror, mirror,

show to me

him whose woman

I will be.

If all goes right, just above your left shoulder will appear the face of the man you will marry.”

A silence. Then: “And what if all does not go right?” asked Agueda.

“Ah, then the Lord have mercy on you!”

“Why?”

“Because you may see—the Devil!”

The girls screamed and clutched one another, shivering.

“But what nonsense!” cried Agueda. “This is the year 1847. There are no devils anymore!” Nevertheless she had turned pale. “But where could I go, huh? Yes, I know! Down to the sala. It has that big mirror and no one is there now.”

“No, Agueda, no! It is a mortal sin! You will see the devil!”

“I do not care! I am not afraid! I will go!”

“Oh, you wicked girl! Oh, you mad girl!”

“If you do not come back to bed, Agueda, I will call my mother.”

“And if you do I will tell her who came to visit you at the convent last March. Come, old woman—give me that candle. I go.”

“Oh, girls—come and stop her! Take hold of her! Block the door!”

But Agueda had already slipped outside; was already tip-toeing across the hall; her feet bare and her dark hair falling down her shoulders and streaming in the wind as she fled down the stairs, the lighted candle sputtering in one hand while with the other she pulled up her white gown from her ankles.

She paused breathless in the doorway to the sala and her heart failed her. She tried to imagine the room filled again with lights, laughter, whirling couples, and the jolly jerky music of the fiddlers. But, oh, it was a dark den, a weird cavern, for the windows had been closed and the furniture stacked up against the walls. She crossed herself and stepped inside.

The mirror hung on the wall before her; a big antique mirror with a gold frame carved into leaves and flowers and mysterious curlicues. She saw herself approaching fearfully in it: a small white ghost that the darkness bodied forth—but not willingly, not completely, for her eyes and hair were so dark that the face approaching in the mirror seemed only a mask that floated forward; a bright mask with two holes gaping in it, blown forward by the white cloud of her gown. But when she stood before the mirror she lifted the candle level with her chin and the dead mask bloomed into her living face.

She closed her eyes and whispered the incantation. When she had finished such a terror took hold of her that she felt unable to move, unable to open her eyes, and thought she would stand there forever, enchanted. But she heard a step behind her, and a smothered giggle, and instantly opened her eyes.

HI so uhh this is gonna be a really short one probably but i really liked the puppeteer reader you made a while back and i was wondering if you could write about the survivors and killers accidentally knocking them over, watching them flail around and not getting back up at all and they're just.. struggling to get back up and they just end up kinda tripping themself over and flailing again everytime they get close to standing up, maybe even accidentally flinging themself all over the place

i dunno, the thought of them flailing when knocked over was funny to me

but please take your time!! don't feel obligated to do all of them if you're not feeling up to it!!! have a great day!!

((also im kinda freaking out if i accidentally asked this twice there was some kinda error with submitting this))

OMG YOU AMAZING SOUL.

The amount of times I could not get up in SWEH because of the stupid bricks and all that, getting flung left and right, knocked down left and right, and could barely even get on my feet LMAO.

It also reminds me of how people spin their avatars in shiftlock, to try and get up faster, but ends up flipping themselves a lot before standing up!

I’ll see what I can do with this request of yours anon!

The post anon is talking about is this one.

(Reminder that the characters might be ooc as I do not know their exact personalities and actions and all that!)

Survivors and killers reacting to “puppeteer” reader getting knocked over by them, and can’t get up.

Chance. 🪙

This guy… This gambler…

He was probably flipping his coin, and accidentally bumped into you. He was confused of course.

Before he saw you flailing on the ground, trying to get back up again. He thought you’d get up on your own as you usually did, but… No.

You were still on the ground, flailing around and trying to get up. At one point you became stiff as some board, and spun around a while, before flipping yourself on accident, causing more flailing and so on.

…The laughter he couldn’t hold in is hilarious. He’s laughing, full on tears in his eyes, as he watches you and laughs at your unfortunate self…

He does feel guilty for accidentally knocking you over but… This is gold…

Elliot. 🍕

This poor guy… He was just making pizza, while you were watching…

When he went to get something, and accidentally knocked you over!

He panicked of course, seeing as you fell to the floor and was flailing around, trying to get back up again.

He watched and watched, waiting to see if you actually need help.

When you became stiff as a board, and were spinning around, he couldn’t help but think of when he spun the pizza dough like that before.

Until you accidentally fling yourself, and start flailing again…

…Oh my days… He’s trying so hard not to laugh, but… Oh…

007n7. 🍔

He was just checking his C00lgui, before the gui accidentally whacked him, causing him to bump into you on accident.

Safe to say that he was panicking, watching you flail around, trying to get back up again…

He was about to crouch down and help you up, before you went stiff as a board, spinning around, before accidentally flinging yourself.

…Oh the panic he has as he sees you flail around yet again… He thinks that it was his C00lgui’s fault, and wanted to apologise to you, but…

You just won’t stop flailing and flinging yourself!

Guest 1337. 🪖

He was just training as usual… Training to get used to different attacks from killers, before he accidentally bumped into you.

He paused his training, immediately glancing over at you, as he watches you fall and flail pn the ground.

He was about to help you, but you went stiff and spun around on the floor, before flinging yourself on accident.

He’s… Shocked to say the least… How did you manage that…?

He continues to watch you flail, stiffen, and fling yourself… Before he actually laughs a bit. He finds it a bit amusing, even in this realm…

Builderman. 🔨

You know him… Tinkering away with his projects and all that…

When he was reaching for his wrench, he accidentally whacked you in the face.

He was shocked of course, and immediately turned to check on you, before pausing as he sees you… Well…

Flailing on the floor, trying to stand up. When you go stiff, he panics, before blinking in confusion and shock, as you suddenly spin, before getting flung.

He’s… Confused… But it brought a small smile on his face when you did the same and same over again…

Shedletsky. 🍗

He probably wouldn’t see you, he’s busy… Munching on fried chicken…

So when he accidentally bumps into you, he doesn’t notice for a good moment, before he sees you get flung.

He almost dropped his bucket of fried chicken, and the chicken leg he was eating.

He also almost chocked on the said fried chickens when you flailed, spun, and got flung on basically repeat.

He finds it hilarious.

Twotime. 🗡️

This they/them creature is so stupid I hate them. /hj

They accidentally knocked you over when they were practicing their stealth + dagger trick.

They practically zoomed past you, and accidentally bumped into you on accident.

They stiffened up at that of course, and turned almost immediately, almost falling over themselves.

Before they still as they see you, on the floor, flailing, stilling then spinning, before flinging yourself.

They’re so confused by what’s happening that they don’t know what to do. Should they help? Should they ask the spawn? Should they pray to the spawn?? WHAT SHOULD THEY DO??

But upon seeing you flail, stiffen and spin, then getting flung on repeat, they smile a small genuine smile. Shaking as they try not to laugh.

Noob. 🥫 (pls pretend the can is bloxy cola.)

They’re naturally jumpy, so when you appeared behind them, they accidentally threw one of their bloxy colas at you.

When they noticed what they did, they scrambled and repeatedly said sorry.

They watched as you flailed, stilled, spun, and got flung on repeat.

They were worried of course! Before… They laughed. A soft small laugh. They found it funny, how you couldn’t exactly get back up again.

It reminded them of how Guest 666 would act when they couldn’t stand up sometimes, when they got knocked down.

Dusekkar. 💨

This pumpkin man, was just casting magic, to see how long he can hold the magic, and all that.

Before it went out of control for a few seconds.

A zap hit you. Causing you to fall over.

He was apologetic and worried. Are you alright? Did you get hurt? WILL you be alright?

He sees you on the ground, flailing around, stiffening, before spinning, and then accidentally flinging yourself. Before it happens again, again and again…

He stifles a laugh, before helping you, by using his magic. But you’re just, flailing and spinning then…

…Oh boy…

Taph. 💥

OH THIS POOR GUY…

They were just checking on their tripwire’s wires, and their subspace tripmine.

Before one of them suddenly exploded, blinding the both of you.

He stumbled back in shock and surprise, accidentally bumping into you, and knocking you over.

When they get their vision back, they glance at you, or where they thought you’d be, before glancing down.

He’s panicking, signing, asking if you’re okay.

You’re just there, just… Flailing, stiffening up, spinning before flinging yourself on accident.

They stare blankly at you for a few moments, before they start shaking, putting their hands over their mouth, stifling their laughter.

1x1x1x1 (1x4). ⚔️

This being of hatred wouldn’t exactly notice you at all. They’re more focused on trying to figure out how to kill the survivors, without much struggle, and quickly.

So when she was killing one of her minions, she kicked it away out of frustration. The said minion hit you, and made you fall over.

He’s surprised you were behind the minion. He watches you from where he’s stood, watching as you flail around and stiffen up a moment. It reminds him of the survivors… Before you spin and get flung that is.

She’s shocked, moving out of the way whenever you get flung towards their direction.

…Maybe this’ll be a decent way of dodging training for them… It’s unexpected to where you get flung to anyway.

He does laugh though at your unfortunate self.

John Doe. 1️⃣0️⃣1️⃣1️⃣1️⃣0️⃣

He’s forgetful in general, what’d you expect from him at this point…?

He accidentally knocks you over with that spike arm of his.

So when he sees you flailing around on the floor, stilling before spinning, then flinging yourself on accident…

He just tilts his head in confusion and slight amusement, as he watches you.

He isn’t helping though.

Jason. 🔪

He doesn’t notice if he accidentally knocked you over. His mother would have to tell him.

So when he does accidentally knocks you over when going to his room, to check up on his mother. His mother tells him that he accidentally knocked you over.

He of course stands still for a moment, before turning and looking at you, watching you flail around, stiffen, spin, then accidentally fling yourself on repeat.

He watches for a while, not knowing what to do, before his mother laughs, and tells him to help you up.

He does, helping you up, not knowing why his mother laughed. But, if she’s happy, he’s happy.

C00lkidd, Pr33typrincess, Bluudud, Mafioso. 🔥

C00lkidd was running from the others, as they were playing tag. (- Mafioso, he’s babysitting them atp).

C00lkidd accidentally ran into you, causing you to fall over.

Every one of them paused what they were doing, and watched you. Hell, even Mafioso’s goons paused what they were doing, just to watch you.

You were flailing around on the ground, stiffening then spinning, before flipping yourself on accident. And repeating the process.

Bluudud was laughing, and so was Mafioso’s goons, hell, even Mafioso himself laughed.

Pr33typrincess was a bit worried, before she also laughed a bit, trying to keep up her Princess like attitude, by covering her mouth with a hand.

C00lkidd was tilting his head in confusion at you, before he also laughs himself.

After a while, Mafioso told some of his goons to help you. Which they did, but you were still flailing around a bit, which made it even worse for everyone, as they were laughing more.

Noli. 👾

…This meme guy doesn’t take anything serious at this point. Maybe when he’s chasing survivors in rounds, yeah, or not… But still, you get the gist.

So when he accidentally knocked you over, and watched you flail for a bit, before stiffening up and spinning, he instantly knew what was up. It happened to him and 007n7 before, so he already started laughing.

But when you accidentally flipped and flung yourself? And repeated the things? Oh boy, the distorted loud laughs he lets out is awful…

He watches for far too long, that the Spectre didn’t even bother to put him into his scheduled killer time.

He helped you of course… But not after recording you of course… 😇

Azure. 🪻

They wouldn’t notice exactly, unless their tendrils get unexpected kicks/hits/wind.

So when they do accidentally knock you over, they don’t notice. But when you’re flailing around, they notice, as their tendrils react to the feeling of something, or someone hitting/kicking their tendrils, and unexpected wind.

They turn and glance down at you, watching you flail, stiffen, spin then flip yourself and fling yourself on accident.

They’re shocked, but they laugh after a few seconds, a genuine laugh ever since what their partner did to them.

They watch as you repeat it for a while, before they help you, by using their tendrils to help you up.

You’re still flailing and struggling to stand, but they help you. Although… They’re still shaking from laughter, and looking away from you to not full on laugh again.

Guest 666. 👹

They would also not notice entirely, due to their height…

So when they accidentally knock you down, and hear a distorted laugh, coming from none other than Noli. They glance to Noli in confusion, tilting their head, before following his eye of sight.

That’s when they see you, on the floor, flailing, stiffening, spinning, flipping and accidentally flinging yourself.

They’re shocked and confused, but a low rumble of a laugh escapes them, as they watch.

Before they decide to help you. Grabbing you with their claws, or their tail, and helping you up to your feet.

You’re still flailing around and struggling to stand properly, but they help you, laughing still.

(A/N: if I forgot a tag, remind me, because I can’t tell if I got all of them or not with HOW MANY TAGS THERE ARE. LIKE HOLY?!)

Since when is A a celeb to get her own photos taken.....

Ah yes. The question of the night.

So the rumoured maybe-girlfriend shows up to a British Vogue x Netflix pre-BAFTA party and somehow lands a solo Getty image with her name in the caption — while actual actors like Victor Alli (Lord Kilmartin himself!) are left anonymous with the label "Guest"? Make it make sense.

As we all know, Antonia Roumelioti is not a celebrity. She has not led a TV show. She has not starred in a feature film. She is not on the BAFTA short list. She is, at best, a wanna be dancer/model/actress in progress (me: attempting to be kind), with credits that read more like the pinned IG post of an influencer who has no influence (me: not attempting...)

And yet — there she is. On Getty. Named.

How?

Easy: She was submitted. Getty Images doesn’t magically know who you are unless someone tells them. And someone did. Either her agent, someone from her PR team (if she has one), or — and here’s the spicy bit — someone from Luke’s team playing the long game on the Grand PR Narrative.

That photo wasn't earned. It was inserted. It’s what you do when you want someone to look like they belong in rooms they didn’t work to be in.

So no, she’s not a celeb. But like so much of what we’ve seen since June 2024, this isn’t about truth — it’s about optics.

And if there’s a contract ticking toward its end date, well… we may be watching the final boxes being checked.

Lights, camera, subtext.

WITH WIRED

pairing: ewan mitchell x fem!reader

summary: in which ewan and y/n doing their first interview as newlywed with wired

words-count: 1,3k

warning: fluff, maybe abit cliché?, use of y/n, ewan and y/n being a newlywed couple, reader is quite sensitive, does not have any specific descriptions about y/n and ewan's appearance.

mae: english is not my first language, i do used google translate a few part in this one-shot. also this is my 2nd fic, im a long time reader but im a new writer, haven’t wrote any long imagines before. please forgive me if there was any mistakes. thank u!! maybe a part 2? idk

ASK | SUBMIT A POST | ARCHIVE

you and ewan had the opportunity to meet each other at a new movie premiere few years ago, at the event ewan participated as the main actor and you were a guest invited by the director of that movie.

at first you were quite hesitant about being the one to make a first move to go over to talk to ewan, people would wonder what was the reason? well of course, because you’re attracted by ewan’s charming appearance, but also by how the way he treated his colleagues, or anyone he met.

and then today, at this moment, you both received an invitation from wired to come here for an interview as newlyweds… yes, ewan and you have been married for 3 months now and both are extremely excited for the upcoming interview

it can be said that since you got married, or to be more precise, since the announced, the news has caused the fan community to react extremely positively, of course, negatively as well. yes but mostly positive

—

and 3… 2… 1… the interview begin, camera start rolling

"hi! this is y/n, y/n mitchell" you introduced yourself with a small smile while looking at the camera, then raised your left hand to show off your wedding ring you were wearing on your ring finger at the same time you look over at ewan, ewan now looked at you with this “husband proud smiley” smile

“and, i’m ewan mitchell, husband of this beautiful woman sitting next to me” ewan introduced himself, and then he repeated the same gesture as you, at this moment you heard a few people behind the camera, giggling and enjoying themselves

“we're here with WIRED, answering the most asked questions on google” ewan continued

“but newlywed edition” you and ewan both said at the same time

then a staff member brought out a large copy, with the questions partially hidden. you were now extremely nervous, then turned to look at him and asked softly.

“are you ready to answer these questions” you asked

“always” said and then ewan smiled slightly

"okay, first question for you my dear" you said and then gently pulled the sticky note off with your hand to make the question appear, then you continued to read

“how did ewan and y/n meet?” you read the question, then looked up at ewan and continued, "hmm, do you remember how we met, husband?" you asked ewan

“how could i forget it, the first time we ever met” ewan said while looking at you smiling, he sat thinking for a moment then he continued

"y/n and i met at this movie premiere, well… i was the main character, actor and she was invited by this great movie director, john, as a friend" ewan said, then used his hand to stroke his chin and continued. “while i was you know doing those interview, i saw her was looking at me so after the premier, we have like a little after party, i was just enjoying myself you know…” he laugh “erm.. and i-i saw this pretty lady slowly walking towards my direction and started conversation with me, and after a few minutes of talking, i thought wow she’s kinda nice to talk to, yeah.. that's… that’s how we met” and now you just sit there and giggled, flashing back all of those memories the first time you met him

“great job husband, it's so surprise to know that you still remember the first time we met, cause you never mention it ever since” you laughed and then continued “you know, to be able to date this guy, ewan mitchell, it's really a journey for me. to be mrs. mitchell is a long way" as you said, you used your thumb to point at ewan. at this time, ewan just looked helpless and shrugged his shoulders

from where you sit, you can clearly see the surprised faces of the staff member behind the camera about the fact that how hard it is to get close to him

“it's your turn” you said as ewan tore lightly to see the next question

“are ewan and y/n expecting?” Both you and ewan seemed quite surprised after hearing this question

“really, is this really the most asked question?” you laughed and giggled, “asked google?! this is crazy” you were extremely surprised by this question

“well y/n and ewan ARE NOT expecting… yet, and if we are, we will definitely announce it and share the joy with you guys so there is no need to ask mr google” you laughed, then you tuck your hair behind your ear

“we are not planning on having baby anytime soon and yes we do talk about it more often now since we’re married, you know we both love to build a family of our own but we both think this is not the right time” ewan said, you nodded with agreement with that ewan said

“next question” you looked at ewan, saying “oh i see this question seems long, it might be quite interesting!”

“the question is, have ewan and y/n ever been in a movie together?” you read the question, then you both looked at each other, you asked ewan “we talked about this a few times, aren’t we?”

“oh we literally talked about it yesterday before bed too…“ ewan chuckled then he continue “even though we have never worked together on any movie before, but we both talk about hoping that in the future we will have the opportunity to work together” ewan explained.

“yea…, there's a funny thing that if we both have the opportunity to be act in the same movie, we’ll both hope to be each other's villains” you laughed then ewan continued.

“you know, it's funny when viewers hear y/n and me's names and they might immediately think we're going to play happy married couple but no, there is not lovey dovey birds”

“but i think it's quite interesting, don't you guys think so too?” you turned to look at the camera in front of you, asking the people whom watching (after this interview video was posted).

“I'll let you answer this last question, baby” you said then let ewan remove the last sticky note to read the last question for today's interview.

“how have ewan and y/n enjoyed their marriage life so far?” ewan continued reading the last question and then he continued to answer

“who would ask this question on Google? how would Google know?” ewan replied

and you both sit there and laugh like an idiot because of how stupid this question is. really, how can Google know what your and ewan's married life is like? You laugh until you cry because of the absurdity of it

“how was it, my husband?” you asked ewan with a curious expression, wonder if he liked married life with you or not, making ewan partly amused and partly pampered, looking towards you, while you sat there patiently waiting his answer

“honestly, i am extremely happy and enjoy this married life with my wife. in short, i’m extremely satisfied, i mean who wouldn't, when you marry the person you love, so do i and especially y/n always makes me feel like i’m the luckiest man is marry to y/n, the woman i love the most" ewan replied a bit shyly because you know he rarely shows affection in front of the camera or in public

“ewan, you're going to make me cry” you smiled and used your hand to gently wipe away the happy tears at the corner of your eyes.

ewan then turned to see you so moved and pulled out a small handkerchief from his pocket and wiped your tears.

Do you like femslash? Do you want to see more of it? Have we got the event for you!

Introducing Femula 1 - a Formula 1 Femslash fest.

Our vision is simple - we want more femslash in the world and we're going to do everything we can to make it happen. So we invite you to our fest all about it. Interested? More info below the cut.

Rules:

Only F/F content allowed. That includes ALL women and women aligned individuals.

All drivers and pairings are allowed. TP's and pit-crew are as well. They just have to be rule 63'd.

Any media types are allowed. If you want to make art, go ahead! If you want to write a fic, be our guest. If you just want to post meta about how you think a girl!driver would act, that's cool too! Any sort of rule 63 or femslash is welcomed.

Have fun! This is meant to be a fun fest to simply increase the amount of femslash in the fandom.

Timeline:

We have a collection on ao3 where prompts are being collected. You do not have to use a prompt if you have your own ideas, but we wanted to let people submit stuff just in case. Prompts will close on December 31st, 2024.

Content is due IN February. It can be any day you'd like. The idea is to post stuff during the month. If you submit your fic to the ao3 collection, we will be staging them to post throughout the month.

We will be opening up an existing fem!driver discord for people if they'd like to have a place to talk about femslash and their ideas. Our only rule there is that if you don't like, you don't engage. We all have our favorite drivers and we're going to be respectful.

We are tracking #F1femslashfest!

If you have any questions, please reach out to us here!

EVERY LITTLE BIT COUNTS!

~ EVENT SPOTLIGHT : ECTOCOMP 2024 ~

La Petite Mort or Le Grand Guignol? Either way, it’s going to get spooky!

Ever since October 2007 spooky-game enthusiasts all over the world have a chance to participate in ECTOCOMP, an annual competition for interactive fiction celebrating the SPOOKY MONTH OF HALLOWEENTOBER. Whether you celebrate Halloween, Day of the Dead, All Saint's Eve, or just love ghost stories and creeping people out, this is your time to shine!

Previously organized by Jason Guest for ADRIFT games, the jam is now open to all development platforms. Since the beginning of this initiative, there has been a motivation to unite and strengthen ties between international communities in the IF world. Creators can submit games either in one of the four main languages - English, Spanish, French and German or any other!

This year marks the 40th anniversary of Ghostbusters. Named after the Ghostbusters’ car license plate number ECTO 1, this year the jam pays tribute to the film that inspired the title! Some other subthemes and inspiration prompts are: Spooky adventure, Sweet supernatural, Halloween fest, Día de Los Muertos, All Saints', All Souls' Eve and any other festivity or mythology around the world.

As per tradition, Ectocomp has two categories:

La Petite Mort, for those who want to speed-write their game in 4 hours or less.

Le Grand Guignol, for games that, for whatever reason, took longer than 4 hours to write.

When the jam is over, all of the submitted games will be uploaded to the IF Archive.

~ ENDED ~

The voting for IFComp ended and the winners have been announced! Congratulations to the first-place winner, The Bat by Chandler Groover! Check out the complete results for this year's competition.

Another edition of the Bad Art Visual Novel Jam is upon us! Check out the two entries!

~ ONGOING (VOTING) ~

Entries have been submitted for the 6th Spooktober Annual Visual Novel Jam! You can vote for your favourites until October 27th! Every October Friday you can also watch Chizu's sponsored Spooktober Stream where she plays through all submissions!

Find inspiration in dusty old decrepit corners, revivify the forgotten - the Revival Jam 2024 is here! You can now vote for your favourite entries!

~ ONGOING (SUBMITTING) ~

Strip IF to it’s bare bones and all it become beautiful text. That’s what The Bare-Bones Jam is about.

It’s spooky month and with it comes the annual ECTOCOMP 2024. If it’s spooky or supernatural why not submit it?

Running until Halloween, the Phantasia Jam is a three months game jam to create a fantasy narrative game, with the theme of “Hidden Magic”. It accepts both VN and IF.

On the CoG Forum, Halloween is already there! Until Oct 31st, you can submit your projects to the Halloween Jam - but don't forget the theme! VAMPIRE, Murder, 70’s Disco!

Disabled Rep VN Jam has a very simple premise but a very important message.

Once upon a time, a game jam was held to create stories around the theme of fairy tales… and that game jam is the Once Upon A Time VN Jam. It’s running from October 1st to January 31st.

Concours de Fiction Interactive Francophone 2025 is for all French-speaking enthusiasts. Submissions are accepted until March 3rd 2025.

Are you perhaps a fan of more somber, melancholic themes? Then check out the Dying Year - Visual Novel Jam! You have until the end of the year to participate.

The Black Visual Novel Jam is all about working with creative professional developers who work in visual novels to bring more Black stories to life. The goal is to create a space where Black creators can show their unique storytelling through visual novels.

Bare your teeth and sharpen your claws because the Monstrous Desires 2024 Visual Novel Jam is here! Dedicated to the love of entities, horrors, and monstrosities, this jam will be full of romantic Visual Novels (VN) that heavily focus on a monster may it be original or from classics, folklore, modern media, etc.

Van Helsing (S) by @vanhelsing-if (Twine)

SLAUGHTER☆SQUAD (H/T) by @harlequinoccult (Twine)

For the most part, you’re a pretty normal mid-20-something year old who lives in a shitty apartment in the city. Well, except for one thing. Your ”Associate” Carter “Dollface” Abernathy. Who is a murderer.

i’m preparing gifts for this simblreen, but simply sending links and calling it a day is no fun – i want to do it with ✨magic✨

so, Morgyn invites everyone to the

✨ Embers Academy Spellcasting Tournament ✨

it's basically a mix of a challenge where you submit your sims to participate, and a gift giving event! i want me and you to have more fun and involvement than just requesting and sending a link

so how will the tournament go? 🔥

it will consist of two major stages: on the first stage contestants will try to score as many points as they can, showing off their skill in different magic disciplines; on the second stage contestants with enough points will be able to enter the main event of the tournament: magic dueling! for the fun of it, you may also see some familiar faces from Glimmerbrook as npc participants!

sim submission rules 🎫

must be a spellcaster, obviously!

the tournament is for students, so they can only be novice, neophyte, or acolyte

any age from teen to elder is acceptable. usually, students are teens and young adults, but who am i to say what story there is behind your sim? by the way, they don’t have to be from Morgyn’s school: guests are welcome, too!

give them up to 3 everyday outfits, one for regular wear and the optional ones for brewing potions and flying / magic duels if you want to. please keep the rest of their wardrobe to a bare minimum and limit cc usage to genetics and everyday outfits. maxis match only please!

schedule and deadline 📃

i hope 2 weeks are enough for submissions, because the deadline is october 6th. the tournament will start on the 7th of october and will roughly take three weeks. on weekdays i will post the tournament gameplay, and on the weekends i’ll post the scores

but what about gifts? 🎁

when the final champion will be announced, i’ll send the set of simblreen gifts to all participants. regardless of whether your sim made it to finals or left early, everyone will get their gifts anyway!

tag so i could see you: #morgyn’s spellcasting tournament

#morgyn’s spellcasting tournament #ts4 #simblr #the sims 4 #simblreen #sims community

how your relationship with seventeen was revealed

warnings | reader wears nail art for minghao's part

notes | reader is also an idol, kinda unrealistic in some parts but whatever js let me have this one LMAO, not proofread

seungcheol – an interview

he thought it was high time to reveal your relationship to the world. after (a lot of) discussing with you and receiving your permission, he mentioned you during an interview for a magazine shoot. the question was smth around the lines of "what do you do when you have a particularly bad day" and cheol casually said "i go to [name] for comfort. they're a really special person to me and always cheer me up whenever i'm feeling down. i'm lucky to have them." with an absolute love sick smile.

safe to say, twitter almost crashed after that interview was released and you confirmed it on a livestream js a couple days later. (both pledis and your company were not happy but fuck them)

jeonghan – your hair color

your company's very big on self-expression when it came to physical appearance, so they never forced a hairstyle / makeup / clothes on you or your members. you were free to dye your hair however you wished, and you mostly kept it natural. until you met jeonghan. a couple months into your relationship with him, jeonghan came up with the idea of matching hair colors. he often had to dye his hair for comebacks, and instead of dying your entire head, he suggested that you would only get a single, visible strand of hair dyed in the same shade. you loved the idea and no one really noticed, not even your own company, until a eagle-eyed carat pointed it out on tiktok. the entire kpop community knew you and jeonghan were close since you both guest mc-ed together before and one of your members were close with seungcheol. and it seemed legit. the entire internet blew up and it even became a trend among couples. your companies both released a statement just a few weeks later, confirming the allegations.

joshua – his podcast w/ vernon

there was a question sector of the podcast he hosted with vernon where carats could submit questions via twitter and he and vernon would answer them. he saw a question that asked about their thoughts on your group's most recent comeback, and vernon managed to sneak in a few praises, complimenting the composition of one of the bsides before shua began a word vomit of praise, specifically for you. he complimented how much you improved since the last comeback and how good you looked in the music video, the teaser photos, the most recent stage, basically everything. he was so busy talking that he didn't notice the massive side-eye vernon was giving him and once he stopped talking, joshua physically slapped a hand over his mouth because oops.

no worries though, you thought it was funny and thought it was high time that the two of you revealed your relationship. joshua got clowned for it a lot though, especially by vernon.

junhui – instagram

the two of you tried your best to time your posts so nothing seems suspicious. for almost a year, your pictures from cat cafe dates to museum dates and late park dates went unnoticed by fans. that is, until your group went to japan recently for a short trip for promotions and jun tagged along since he had no schedules for 2-3 days. you found a cute convenience store during a late night walk with him and took pictures. some on your own, some of only him, and some together. except this time, the two of you forgot to talk beforehand and you both posted the photos on the same night.

your manager scolded you for being so careless, but truth be told he didn't actually care. he thought it was funny and only had a word with you because as your manager, he had to. (he already knew beforehand and thought you guys looked super cute together)

hoshi – seungkwan

you and hoshi were having a movie date night but you guys weren't particularly in the mood to actually watch a movie so the two of you just fucked around the whole night, prank calling different members to see how they would react and watching instagram reels (because hoshi swears by them and thinks they're better than 'that stupid clock app'). (the funniest reaction you got so far was mingyu, who was half asleep when you facetimed him and asked him if his refrigerator was running. when he responded with a groggy 'yes', hoshi said that he better go catch it and mingyu actually dropped his phone to go catch it.) the next victim was seungkwan, who you didn't know was doing a weverse at the same time. when seungkwan received the incoming facetime call from hoshi, he grinned and decided to accept the call by showing the camera his phone screen. what he didn't expect was to see hoshi's arm wrapped around you and his chin tucked onto your chin when he answered the call.

when seungkwan accepted the call, the first thing you saw was a reflection of you and hoshi, and you recognized the familiar flow of comments flying past the unfamiliar phone screen at an incredible speed. you dropped hoshi's phone in sheer panic and glanced over at your boyfriend who looked as equally panicked, his jaw basically reaching the floor. poor seungkwan began fumbling for a random excuse but it was too late now. the cat (tiger) was out of the bag.

wonwoo – via the company

wonwoo never thought there was a point in hiding your relationship from the public. he was with the person he loved and what a few jobless netizens had to say about your relationship wouldn't change that. after a couple months of 'testing the waters' and seeing how far the two of you would commit to the relationship, wonwoo just straight up went to the ceo of pledis and went 'yo i'm dating [name] from [group name] and you can't stop me' (with your permission of course, and you did the same thing) after a lot of discussion with both your ceo's, the companies agreed to simultaneously release a statement to the public about your relationship with wonwoo.

woozi – his lyrics

we all know woozi projects everything that's going on in his life through his song lyrics. yk those posts where people are like "i need someone to break bruno mars' heart again" bc his breakup songs are so good? it's like that. the latest seventeen comeback is FILLED TO THE BRIM with love songs and everyone and their mother is like "what the fuck is going on" because woozi's written love songs before but not like this??? the lyrics seem so much more deeper and personal, and the listener can almost feel woozi's heart and soul being poured into the lyrics and melody. woozi personally denied anything on a weverse live but people caught on once he released a mixtape of a love song and the lyrics contained a physical description of a person that was a little too similar to you.

minghao – books (and nail art)

minghao likes reading books. you like reading books. that doesn't mean you're dating, right? so many people in the world love to read books, that doesn't automatically make you lovers, right? ... right, except you read and post about the same books minghao reads and recommends to carats. even then, that could've been a coincidence, right? you just have similar taste in books.

wrong. you made a silly mistake of saying on a live how all your favorite books were recommended by a super close friend that you held dear to your heart. still, you can just be friends with minghao, right? wrong again because fans noticed that you had matching nail art with minghao's, the signature 8/infinity sign on your nails. there was no point in being in denial any longer.

mingyu – instagram

another silly little mistake. he recently came back from a trip with just you and him, and naturally, he wanted to upload some photos to instagram for his lovely fans to foam at the mouth scream over (he knows the power he holds). he was lying in bed (next to you), ready for bed as he scrolled through chose different photos to upload. what he didn't realize was that he had also clicked on a photo of you and him kissing in the dark, under a streetlight. it was a classic, romantic kiss. his hand was resting on your lower back, your arms wrapped around his neck as he dipped you, your leg held up by his other hand. almost immediately after posting, mingyu set down his phone and went to sleep in your arms.

the next morning, he woke up to about 56 missed calls from his manager, a BUNCH of weverse notifications, and 300+ messages from the seventeen group chat (that came back to life for the first time in almost a month and it wasn't js seungcheol talking to himself)

dokyeom – weverse live

dokyeom is surprisingly not shy when it comes to his relationship with you. after a few serious discussions, the two of you ventured out to the streets of seoul in broad daylight, your hand tightly entwined in his own, but no tabloid or news outlet seemed to catch whiff of it. dokyeom was frustrated because he wanted to show you off to the world, tell everyone that he was yours and you were his, but no one was bothering to expose it. so he decided to take this matter into his own hands. after receiving permission from both companies, he started a weverse live–with you. the two of you sat side by side, awkwardly waiting for more and more viewers to enter the livestream. obviously the entire internet went insane when dokyeom held his hand in yours and said with a proud smile that the two of you were dating and would appreciate all the love and support. and the internet officially lost it when he pressed a kiss to your cheek, which made you blush intensely.

it was cute, and even his manager–who was sitting behind the phone–was smiling as he watched the two of you together.

seungkwan – an entertainment show

similar to joshua. a couple members from your group were guests on a show that seungkwan was a regular cast of to promote your upcoming comeback, and of course they already knew that you were dating him. before the recording, they were teasing him (they're all already very close) and kept mentioning your name, which made seungkwan turn into a bright red tomato. during the recording, when it was time to promote your group's most recent comeback, your group members stood in the center of the room and gave a little sneak peek to the choreo of the title track, which seungkwan followed to with on the side (people didn't notice this until the airing of that episode–and an fyi, this was before their official comeback). and when the time came to the talk about the production process, seungkwan immediately began to ramble about how much you improved on your live singing and how proud he was of you. he also talked about how you talked to him about how much you struggled with the change of concept and how you pushed through those hard trials. he also couldn't forget about how good you looked and how the concept change looked really good on you and the new makeup look accentuated your eye color. at the end of his very long speech, seungkwan realized what he just did and sank into his chair with his bright red face buried into his hands.

vernon – vernon being vernon

vernon did a vernon and randomly revealed it on a weverse live, almost giving his poor manager a heart attack. he was reading through the comments when he randomly said 'by the way, i'm dating [name] from [group name]' HIS POOR MANAGER. HAD A MINI HEART ATTACK BEFORE TURNING OFF THE LIVE IN A PANIC. the following day, pledis released a statement, confirming vernon's impromptu confession.

dino – dispatch

my poor boy was the only one who fell victim to dispatch 😭 he was so careful not to get caught because he didn't want you to receive any backlash. specifically went on dates later in the day so the two of you wouldn't be as easily recognized, trying to stay home as much as possible, covering up as much as you both could. but eventually, dispatch caught the two of you hugging at the entrance of the hybe building at 11 pm. first, weird. why were they watching you guys at 11 pm. second, seungcheol was so relieved that the secret was finally out because he was running out of excuses as to why dino was almost never at home anymore.

reblogs and feedback is always appreciated ^-^

Welcome to the 9-1-1 Rare Pare and Crack Ship Celebration!

Mods: Myself ( @shelfthe-reader , @legendary-dumpster-fire , @hailstormtsunami )

What is this event?

The 9-1-1 Rare Pair and Crack Ship Celebration is just that! We all love Buddie, Bathena, HenRen, and Madney. Truly. But lately, there’s been an uptick in people saying “don’t ship it if it isn’t canon,” which is a load of bull. So I have created this series of events to combat this line of thinking. We should all be able to (within reason) ship who we want, no matter how unrealistic and foolish it may be. The ultimate goal of this event is to give off “Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragons” type of energy (iykyk)

How do I take part?

Well, that’s easy! This event is set up three different ways: a structured “week” of prompts, two different Bingo Cards, and a simple list of prompts. This way, anyone can join, in whatever way the inspiration strikes. Of course, you may not even want to use a given prompt. Just being here may be inspiration enough, and that’s perfectly fine! Below are links to the TUMBLR COMMUNITY and DISCORD SERVER

Link to Tumblr Community

Link to Discord Server

What mediums do I submit?

Anything that strikes your fancy! A drabble, a full piece of fanfiction, an art piece, an edit, a playlist… whatever gets you to be creative! On Tumblr and Bluesky, there will be the hashtag #911rarepaircelebration, and there will also be a collection on AO3.

Are there any restrictions?

In terms of types of submissions, no! However, as stated in our rules, we do ask that you refrain from promoting pairings that are incestuous, pedophilic, or grooming in nature (ex. Maddie/Buck, or May/Buck). If you have any questions about this rule, please do not hesitate to reach out to the mods!

When does posting start?

For the general prompt list and Bingo cards, as soon as the prompts are released! If you are planning on participating in the structured prompt week, that will be from August 24th - August 30th.

Is there a timeline?

Nope! As long as I’m here, this celebration will be to. If you find these prompts in five years, be my guest! All I want to do is promote creativity, no matter how far into the future!

If you have any more questions, ping a mod or myself! We are happy to answer any question!

multitudes [part 4] - a. tv

summary -> your first pub golf and you meet the one and only arthur tv who is infatuated from the moment he lays eyes on you

PART 1, 2, 3, 4

wc -> 1.1k

masterlist | main masterlist | requests

when the bach and arthur podcast asked you to come on as a guest, your gut reaction was panic.

not because you didn’t love them—you did. their brand of chaotic sibling-energy banter and oddly thoughtful life advice had become part of your weekly routine. but the idea of being on their turf, with arthur, talking about arthur? that was another level.

“they’re gonna grill me,” you groaned, flopping backwards onto arthur’s sofa like a shakespearean tragic hero.

arthur laughed from the kitchen, where he was pouring you both coffees. “they’re not gonna grill you. Tthey love you. they told me they were genuinely shocked i managed to ‘pull someone with a functioning brain.’”

you peeked over the couch. “comforting.”

“look,” he said, walking over and handing you a mug, “we don’t have to do couple content unless you want to. but honestly? i think it could be really fun. low-stakes. they’re just gonna ask you weird hypotheticals and try to embarrass me.”

you smirked into your mug. “now that sounds worth it.”

the studio was smaller than it looked on camera. cozy. comically mismatched chairs. a lava lamp in the corner that neither bach nor arthur could explain. you settled between them, headphones over your ears, mic in front of you, trying not to look too much like someone entering an emotional minefield.

“welcome back to the bach and arthur podcast!” bach boomed into the mic. “today we’re joined by someone who has done the impossible—become the internet’s favourite source of flamingo facts and the person keeping arthur humble.”

arthur grinned. “let’s be honest, they’re the real main character now.”

you laughed. “please. the only reason i’m here is because you two needed someone to explain what a taxonomical family is.”

“see?” bach said, looking directly at the camera. “smart. you’re a fraud, arthur.”

“comfirmed,” you added, deadpan.

it began light—how you met, favorite pub golf memory, your disastrous duet of “valerie.” arthur told the story of the flamingo fact like it was a myth he would one day pass to his grandchildren.

then it veered into chaos.

“okay,” bach said, scrolling through fan-submitted questions. “this one’s great. if you and arthur were in an apocalypse, who’s more likely to survive, and who accidentally dies because they try to save a useless item like a novelty mug?”

“easy,” you said. “i survive. arthur dies saving the flamingo mug i got him as a joke.”

arthur raised a hand in mock offense. “it’s sentimental!”

“it’s also ceramic, and you’d be running from zombies.”

“so you adimit you’d leave me behind?”

you turned to him, completely straight-faced. “only if it was a slow zombie.”

bach was wheezing.

but somewhere between zombie jokes and overanalyzing your star signs, the conversation shifted. as it often did with these two.

“alright,” bach said, suddenly more serious. “this one’s real. what’s been the hardest part about going public with your relationship?”

arthur glanced at you. just a flick of the eyes. a check-in.

you took a breath.

“i think…” you started slowly, “…weirdly, it’s not the hate. or even the pressure. it’s figuring out which parts we want to keep to ourselves.”

arthur nodded. “yeah. like, i love posting stupid clips and letting people in. but some of my favorite moments—like when you fell asleep on my shoulder in that cab ride home from filming, or when we danced in the kitchen for no reason—those moments don’t belong to the internet.”

“that’s the line,” you agreed. “knowing what’s for them and what’s just… ours.”

bach nodded, surprisingly quiet.

then he leaned into the mic. “okay, but just to clarify, is the ‘dancing in the kitchen’ moment on film somewhere? for research?”

you both laughed.

after the recording wrapped, you all stayed in the studio for another hour. no mics. no pressure. just easy conversation and a half-dozen inside jokes that would probably be forgotten by morning.

but as you walked back to arthur’s car, hand linked in his, he looked over at you with a softness you recognized by now. one that always meant something real was coming.

“you were brilliant in there.”

you shrugged. “felt like i talked too much.”

“you didn’t. you were funny and smart and you. that’s what people love.”

you looked at him, really looked.

“is that what you love?”

he didn’t hesitate, “it’s exactly what i love.”

the episode dropped three days later. it broke their view record in twelve hours.

fans posted their favorite quotes, made meme compilations, even demanded a spin-off podcast called flamingos and feelings.

your favorite comment was simple - this isn’t just a relationship. this is a partnership. and i’m so here for it.

you showed it to arthur while lying on the floor of his flat, sharing crisps and planning nothing.

he read it, smiled, and leaned over.

“we should get matching novelty mugs. just in case the apocalypse does happen.”

you grinned, “fine. but you’re still not allowed to die for one.”

100 follower milestone eek! thank you, i love each and every one of you ིྀ

thanks for the support on this mini-series, i hope you enjoyed it as much as i did :)

Thought Contagion (Horus Lupercal, Sanguinius)

Summary: Horus saves you and your orphans from a terrible life. He asks very little from you as gratitude.

Horus Lupercal/fem!Reader, Sanguinius/fem!Reader

Warnings: yandere, obsession, manipulation

Word count: 1180

Song: Muse - Thought Contagion

I haven’t been able to publish this post for several days, but it’s time to do it. I really want to learn how to write Horus. But Sanguinius is too difficult for me. Probably I will return to him definetly not soon. Not my best work in triangle series but at least I train.

Horus loved his sons. He was more attached to his Legion than any Primarch. And yet, in some subconscious way, he knew that he was missing something. Usually at such moments he immediately remembered his childhood with his father.

On one of these days, he just met you. Well, not at first. A little boy who jumped out from under your skirt and hurried towards him as fast as he could. The child joyfully hugged the pensive primarch’s leg, not at all afraid of his height and position.

“This is the Warmaster!”

As soon as he heard the patter of feet in the distance, Horus could not help but grin. It seems the child often ran away from supervision. The warrior looks up and sees you. Small and tired, running as fast as you could to the boy. And 5 more of these street kids were hurrying after you. And he immediately notices that they were all of different appearances and ages. Nobody looked alike. And you were too young to give birth to them all.

You ask the primarch for forgiveness for your ward. You thank him for saving and building a refugee camp. Horus listened to you, but he kept glancing at the boys. Some were weak, but some were strong and dexterous, ideal candidates... they all huddled close to your figure, either asking for love or protecting you from the primarch. Some even hung on you.

“Are these boys your sons or brothers, miss?” - the primarch smiles widely at the children, and they look at him in fascination as if he were a hero. Although he really was a hero to them.

This effect does work on you but not too much. You blink your eyes before hugging the children tenderly. Almost in a protective gesture. Do you really think that he would take the children with him onto the ship by force? He would never do that. Horus is a good man.

He would have done this if his proposal had been rejected.

“No, Warmaster. They are orphans. I picked them up while hostilities were going on. We hid from the xenos together while you saved us.” - you gently look around at the street children and smile. - “Although during this time they became almost like sons to me.”

Your look, your gestures, your words... something broked him. It struck a nerve. His hearts and superhuman nature were touched. Surprisingly, such thoughts never crossed primarch mind. However, in that moment, Horus realized and felt an unfamiliar and alluring desire.

He wants you.

You were quickly transferred to his ship. Became his personal serf. Nothing complicated. Just submit documents, food and drinks. Serve human guests within reason. Yes, you were deprived of your freedom, but your life should have been better. The pallor and dark circles under the eyes disappeared, and the skin acquired a healthy color. Once the Warmaster even ran his hand through your hair, noting how pleasant it was to the touch.

Teachers were assigned to the boys so that they could become warriors. It's unlikely that you would approve of them joining the Astartes, but you couldn't say no to Horus, could you? Especially when they looked so enthusiastically at the training of the Space Marines. At such moments, the primarch wanted to encourage them, instruct them, but... they were not his.

But that didn't bother you. In free moments, you constantly cooed over them, asked about their successes and failures. One time the younger one ran so hard that he tripped and injured his knee. You sat with him on the cold floor and calmed the baby. This sight excited Horus... perhaps in the wrong way. Because he had to lock himself in his chambers to relieve himself.

But your maternal instinct, your pure love and care. This is what he wanted. He is strength and you are softness. A symbiosis of the fusion of bodies and souls, a masterpiece of human biology. Horus had the Emperor and that was enough for him, but at the same time he wanted more.

And you had to give it to him. After all, Horus has done so much for you. A new life with all the benefits should have endeared you to the primarch. Not to mention the fact that you spent almost all your time with him. Listen to him, get to know his soul. The primarch could almost feel this thin thread connecting you together.

But the little trick breaks down once Sanguinius visits his brother. You fell under the influence of the Warmaster, but not strong enough. Quickly dealt with his presence. But the way you reacted to the Blood Angel. You literally devoured him with your eyes. Your cheeks turned red just from him looking at you. Mouth filled with saliva as soon as he spoke. And one day when the Sanguinius stroked your head, Horus felt your arousal.

But you were his. This is how you should have reacted to the Warmaster. He saved you, he saved your sons. So why does his favorite brother get your love? Doesn't matter. Sanguinius doesn't care about you, you're just one of many mortals. And how nice it is to look at your sad face when the Bloody Angel left the Vengeful Spirit.

But this is not enough. You must be punished. Horus could be rude to you and just fuck you without asking. Press your small body into the soft bed, fill it to the brim. And then watch your belly grow due to the appearance of a new little life. His legacy. But that would be wrong, right?

So he simply tells you the truth about Sanguinius. Just a little bit of embellishment. About how he loves drinking human blood so much that all mortals always die. That his Legion was actually a bunch of blood thirsty bastards pretending to be heroes.

No, you won't be safe with him. Only with Horus. Besides, what about your boys? Especially the younger one, who ran up to the Warmaster. He is too weak and inept. An unenviable fate awaits such a child. The life of a serf or even servitarization. You need to devote all your time to your children and your primarch.

You cry and hide your face in your hands. Beg to save the children. You say you didn't know about his brother's monstrosity. You promise to do whatever he wants. Just let the boys be safe. In a moment of horror, you didn’t even think about yourself, but about your little street children.

Horus smiles softly and lifts your frightened face, taking in every detail. Your and Horus's children will be so beautiful. The man kisses you carefully and tenderly on the lips, almost devouring you all. Your hands rise into the air, but stop.

You clearly wanted to push him away, Horus knew that. First he kisses, and then he confesses his feelings. He had no experience in courtship, so you needed to forgive him. For now, let him love you. In the end…

He asks for so little.

A Close Call

Frankie Morales x f!reader

Summary: I saw a writing challenge for Pedro characters and one of them was hiding in a closet and I don’t remember who the creator was so I can’t submit but I wrote it for fun anyway.

Warnings; post-Triple Frontier, Frankie has no wife or kid, friends with benefits, smut, unprotected piv, porn with plot, possibility of getting caught, idk it’s pretty funny too, probably missed something but lmk

Word count: 3100+ (oops)

Sliding the screen door closed behind you, you carefully latch the lock and shrug the bag on your shoulder higher. Santi and Yovanna have a hot tub, but like, the best hot tub ever. They said when they were on their month-long trip to visit her brother in Australia that anyone in the friend group could use it. That was 4 months ago, and you may have been sneaking over periodically to enjoy a private bath while they’re on a weekend getaway or you know they’re going to be seeing a particularly long movie. Thankfully, they love Quintin Terrentio and Chrisopher Nolan films. You know they wouldn’t exactly be mad if they found out, but they would definitely revoke your key privileges and with volleyball season coming soon, you’re gonna need the boiling hot soaks to calm your muscles.

You dried off meticulously outside so as to not leave any drips on the floor. Your towel is tied around your waist, your bikini top bare and your clothes in the bag as your flip flops pat against the floor as you make your way to the guest bathroom to change. You turn the corner in the hall and come face to face with a brick wall. You yelp and step back, holding your nose that just got smushed.

Not a brick wall. Frankie.

“Fuck.” You curse, “What are you doing here?”

He looks at you with wild eyes, “Um.” He stutters, “Doesn’t matter what are you doing here?” He asks accusingly.

You look him up and down. Slide on sandals, swim shorts, a t-shirt, towel draped over his shoulder. You smirk and cross your arms over your chest. His eyes flick fleetingly at your breasts and then back at your face. “You’re here to use their hot tub, aren’t you?” You say smugly.

Shifting nervously, he looks at the wall in the dark hallway and leans against it. “No, no just you know. Came to hang out with Santi.” He says casually before properly giving you a once over.

Eyeing him amusingly you chuckle, “You always bring a towel to hang out with Santi? Don’t they have towels here?” You ask, your fingers reaching out to fumble with the dangling fabric.

“Fine fuck off.” He finally says with a cracked smile. “But you’re literally in a bikini.” He says, gesturing to your barely covered body.

You both let out a laugh before you point at him with your finger sternly, “Okay but hey, you gotta get out of here. I need the hot tub more than you and we can’t both be sneaking over here. One of us is gonna get caught.”

“I need it too.” Frankie says admittedly.

You scoff, “Why?”

“I’ve got a bad back. I don’t know if you remember or not, but I was kinda in the army and for like 20 years and my back is fucked up.” He says exasperated.

Rolling your eyes you let out a snoozing sound, “Ugh, yes how could I forget. You literally always talk about how you used to carry horses on your back through the jungle.” You make a fart noise with your tongue to accentuate your humorous tone.

“I carried men, not horses.” He retorts with a smirk.

“Fine, whatever. Look, I’ll rock, paper, scissors you for it then.” You say in a quiet hush, remembering where you are.

His eyebrows narrow, “Why are you whispering, no one’s home.”

The lock on the front door clicks and you both practically jump out of your skin. You hear the unmistakable sound of Santis’ voice and footsteps at the front of the house.

“Shit.” You whisper.

Frankie looks around frantically and then grabs hold of the handle on the hallway closet to your right, pulling it open. “Quick, get in.” He places his hand on your back to guide you in and quickly follows suit, quietly latching the door behind him.

You’re standing in darkness, the only sounds your own deep breathing mixed with his. A moment later, a small light illuminates the room, and you look up at the light bulb Frankie just clicked on with a pull string. He releases it and looks down at you, the string swinging absently above you both.

“What are they doing home already? I thought they had a late dinner out of town?” You whisper.

He shrugs, “I don’t know. Usually when they go to that restaurant Yovanna has 3 glasses of wine and makes him stop at every gas station to pee on the way back.”

Letting out a chuckle, you say. “3? Try 4.” Looking around, you take in the small hallway closet. Not much in it other than a gym bag shoved to the corner, but it was still tight. The proximity between Frankie and you a few inches at best. Looking up at his eyes, you ask. “What do we do?”

“I don’t know. They’ve never come home early before. I’m in new territory.” He says, he moves to place his hands on his hips but his elbow strikes the door. You both startle and he curses.

“Geeze. I thought you were special forces, how could you be this loud right now?” You whisper yell at him, your eyes wide. He gives you an amused look and lays his arms at his side.

“Sorry.”

Pinching your eyes shut you hum to yourself, “Fuck what do we do?”

“What time is it?” He asks.

You reach into your bag and pull out your phone, “11.”

Nodding, he says. “Okay, so let’s just wait until they go to bed, sneak out and lock the door behind us. If they catch me, they’ll take my key. They’re still pissed at me for coming over with Benny after his fight that one time when we broke her vase.”

Letting out a snort, you say. “Yeah, and if they catch me, they’ll definitely take my key away considering that time I came over and borrowed Santis truck without asking.” You cross your arms and lean back against the wall.

He eyes you curiously, “You stole his truck?”

“Borrowed.” You clarify. “I borrowed his truck.”

“For what?” he asks amused.

Smirking, you say. “I might’ve found a popcorn machine on Marketplace and it didn’t fit in my car.” Frankie lets out a quiet chuckle. “Hey, it was first come first serve I had to act fast.”

“A popcorn machine? What are you twelve?”

“What are you twelve?” You rebut in a mocking tone, and he has to chew his lip to keep himself from laughing.

Frankie lifts his hat off his head and scratches at his curly locks. “Okay, so neither of us wanna get caught then. So, let’s just ride it out and we can slip out after they’ve gone to bed. No harm done.”

“Fine.” You say, resting your head against the wall and shrugging your bag off your shoulder to place it gently on the floor beside the other bag.

He crosses his arms over his chest and leans his head back as well, closing his eyes. You both settle there, but a few moments later you let out a deep breath. “I’m bored.”

Grinning, he replies. “It’s been 30 seconds.”

“Yeah, well I got bored in 30 seconds.” You retort quickly and he chuckles.

His eyes peel open and he looks you up and down. “Remember the last time we were in a small space like this?” He asks with a mischievous grin.

Giving him a knowing look, you shake your head and whisper back. “Forget about it Morales.”

“That camping trip, you and I had to share a tent.” He begins and you chew your bottom lip. “If I remember correctly, we had trouble being quiet that night too.”

You let out a huff of breath and roll your eyes, his words bringing you back to the memory of the two of you fucking in a sleeping bag on a friend’s camping trip when you got paired in a tent. It didn’t mean anything, was just fun, and with the way he’s eyeing you now, it seems like he wants to have some more. “No, Frankie. We’ll get caught.”

He steps forward so that your bodies are almost pressed against one another. “Come on baby, you won’t be bored anymore.” He reasons and you look into his deep brown eyes, he chews his lip and pops his eyebrows up and down.

Stroking the inside of your cheek with your tongue, you shrug. “Fine, but keep it quiet Morales.” You say, pointing your finger at him again.

His head dips down and he takes your finger into his mouth, slowly dragging it through his lips till it pops out and he grins. “Trust me, you’re gonna be the one having a hard time staying quiet.”

You let out a breath as he leans further and slots his lips against yours. You gasp into his mouth as his tongue licks into yours. Your hands begin working in tandem, he quickly grabs the towel around your waist and unties it, shoving it to the ground. Meanwhile, you’re pushing his off his shoulder and pulling his shirt over his head, knocking his hat softly onto the ground. His hands grasp at your ass as he pulls you closer, so your warm bodies are pressing against one another in the tight space.

Hot air begins to fill the space as your breathing picks up. His hands wander every inch they can reach as they squeeze and pull at your ass and breasts. Your fingers intertwine with his hair and you moan quietly when he grabs your jaw to tip your head back to gain access to your throat. Frankie nips and sucks at your sensitive skin beneath your ear and your core pushes forward to begin rubbing against his hard cock through his thin swim trunks.

He groans into your mouth at the pressure and then his hands find your waist and quickly spin you so you’re facing the wall. Your hands press hard against the cool drywall as your cheek rubs it. He gently kicks at your ankles, and you abide, stepping to widen your stance. He pushes his trunks down until they rest underneath his balls, and you feel his cock spring free and nudge you in the back. You wait without breath as he grabs your bikini bottoms and pulls them down your legs until they fall to your ankles. You quickly step out of them with one foot and take your place again hard pressed against the wall.

Frankies breathing into your ear makes your cunt clench around nothing, until you finally feel his fingers graze your moistened folds. He hums, “Already wet for me. That’s my girl.” His praise sends a new flow of arousal through you.

“Can you hurry up Morales? I’m getting bored again.” You joke and watch over your shoulder as he eyes you.

“Won’t be saying that much longer. Won’t be saying anything actually.” With that you’re pushed further into the wall as he guides his hard cock deep into your pussy. You pinch your eyes shut at the stretch and try not to let out a deep moan. He stills and settles his forehead on your shoulder. “Fuck, just as fucking tight as I remember.”

Your breathing begins to settle until you feel him pull back and then slam into you. “Fuck.” You whisper, tucking your head down. His strong and calloused hands clutch your waist as he begins to slowly rock into you. Fucking you senseless into the wall. Your head falls back gently against his shoulder, and he places a kiss to your temple as one of his hands rises up to hold your jaw.

His dick nudges your cervix, and you moan. Too loud, too relaxed. His hand quickly releases your jaw and covers your mouth. “Quiet baby or I’ll have to stop.” His hushed voice whispers into your ear as his bare chest presses against your back. The heat beading off the two of you as sweat begins to develop between your bodies. As one of Frankies hands holds you quiet, his other snakes around your bodies to find your clit and your eyes squeeze shut as he continues to rail into your from behind and draw tiny circles on your sensitive bud.

The tension begins to build in you, and you feel the familiar wave of contentment as your hands turn to fists against the wall. With another deep thrust in your pussy your walls squeeze around his thick member and your orgasm crashes into you. You’re thankful for the hand clutching your mouth as you whimper into it. Your pleasure surges him forward and he bites your shoulder to quiet himself as he spills inside you. He stills but the way his dick swells inside you makes your orgasm bloom further and you find yourself rocking your hips, continuing to fuck yourself on his sensitive cock like a dildo until he’s holding your tired body up with his arms.

You both settle, and you rest your head again against the wall to let your breathing calm. You can feel Frankie finally peel his sweat covered body off of you, pulling his aching member out and reside to his side of the cramped closet.

Turning, you lean down and step back into your bikini bottoms to pull them up before his spend begins to cascade down your legs. You grab your bag and pull out your shorts and T-shirt to dress yourself. He does the same, pulling his t-shirt back over his head and placing his trusted hat firmly on his head.

After stuffing your towel into your bag, you pull out your phone again and eye the time. “Think we can slip out now?”

He steps forward and peers at your phone. “Um, let me just check real quick.” He grabs the door handle and slowly turns it trying not to make noise as the latch clicks. The door opens slightly and the distant light from the living room is the only light illuminating the dark hallway. You both still your breathing as you listen for any sign of life. It’s quiet, no creaks, no voices, no tv on. He looks back at you and shrugs, “Seems like the coast is clear. Be quiet though.” He says pointing his finger at you and you nod, placing your phone back in your bag and preparing mentally for the treacherous walk to the front door.

Frankie grabs his towel off the floor before slowly pushing the door open further, he looks around. “Okay, come on.” His hands reaches back and you take it as he guides you through the house. Your footsteps are quiet, and he looks around wildly for any semblance of his friends. You finally reach the front door, your breath a mere lump in your throat as he slowly unlocks the door. It creaks open and he grimaces before ushering you through. Following quickly and shutting the door behind him. You stand beside him as he pulls his keys out of his pockets and locks the door from the outside.

He turns to you and lets out a breath, which you mirror. “Whew, that was a close call.”

“No kidding, if we’re both gonna keep doing this, we gotta work out a schedule or something.” You say reasonably.

He places his hands on his hips and looks you up down. “Or we could just come at the same time.”

You give him an amused look and comment, “You just wanna fuck in their hot tub.”

Shrugging, he says. “Maybe.”

Grinning, you tap him on the arm and begin walking down the laneway. The cool evening Spring air bites at your bare arms and legs. He follows swiftly behind you. “Where’d you park?” He asks.

“At the gas station down the road.” You say, gesturing to your right through the streetlight filtered night.

“Oh, yeah that’s a good one. I’m just down there.” He says, pointing at his truck down the road in the direction you are also heading. You nod and both of you begin to walk down the sidewalk.

“Doing anything next?” He asks, a devilish grin on his face.

“Nah, wanna come over?” You ask, winking at him and he smirks.

“Sure. I’ll pick up a pizza on the way.”

Nodding, you say. “Oh, now you’re speaking my language.”

You still in your spot as you reach his truck and he begins to cross the road, folding your arms across your chest as you watch him walk before calling out, “Hey!”

He turns and calls back, “What?”

“How did you break that vase with Benny?” You ask with a sly grin.

Frankie licks his lips and lets out a chuckle. “Benny kind of, tackled me into it.”

Your jaw drops, “He tackled you?”

Nodding, he looks down at the pavement and then back at you. “Yeah, like I said it was after his fight, and he wanted to show me a new move he didn’t get to try out.”

“I’m assuming alcohol was involved?” You joke.

“Maybe.” He says with a chuckle.

Laughing you say, “You guys are ridiculous.”

“Yeah, but you love us.” He says, walking backwards towards his truck.

You wave your hand casually at him and begin to walk in the direction of your car. “Yeah, yeah. See you in a bit.”

“Yep.” He confirms, before jumping into his truck.

Santi rounds the edge of the bed and grabs his phone off the nightstand.

“Are they gone yet?” Yovanna asks, rubbing moisturizer on her legs in bed.

Santi smirks, looking at his phone. “Yeah, just slipped out the front door. 20 years in special forces and they seriously didn’t think we’d have security cameras?” He says with a humorous tone. “Good idea coming home when we did, didn’t think we’d get a chance to catch both of them.”

She shakes her head, “So, are you gonna give them shit tomorrow?”

Santi slides into the bed and leans back, resting his arm under his head. “We’ll see, might be fun to fuck with them a little more. Payback for stealing my truck.”

“And breaking my vase.” She comments, pointing at him and he nods.

“And for breaking your vase.” He confirms.

She nods and begins to rub moisturizer on her hands, looking up in thought. “What do you think they did in the closet for that long?”

He shrugs against the bed as his eyes drift close. “If I know them at all probably just, played rock, paper, scissors or something like that.”
