#all respect for sapphic enbies

[l-heure-du-the]

nothing is quite as depressing as being out at your workplace and everyone using your proper name and pronouns...

and then your boss goes "good job ladies" including you

and your coworker and you talk about hormonal mood swings and she goes "men don't understand what we go through"

and then and then and then

again and again

i present as a trans man at work because i didn't want to risk them gendering me as femme at all

i can't imagine how much worse it'd be if i'd openly spoken about being nonbinary

[a-faggot-with-opinions]

I think I just had a realization about the term "TME" being used with regards to only sapphic/lesbian spaces and how that relates to transmasculine erasure.

All people who aren't cis or gender conforming experience systemic oppression due to being non-cis or GNC. However, specifically in homosexual spaces, this oppression applies differently depending on whether someone is transmasc, transfem, or something else. The "talking about transandrophobia is transmisogynistic" crowd likes to focus overly on sapphic and lesbian spaces, entirely ignoring achilleans and gay men. And that makes sense, because that group is mostly made up of transfems and trans women! It is okay to not mention transmascs when you're talking specifically about transfem issues! However the issue arises when they deny the oppression that comes with being an AFAB homosexual man(-adjacent person).

Often, transandrophobia deniers who are transfem will claim that transmascs are privileged over transfems specifically by using the dynamics in lesbian communities as evidence. Though transmasc lesbians experience systemic oppression too (butchphobia), transmasc lesbians are incredibly privileged over transfem lesbians when it comes to intracommunity dynamics. Then, transandrophobia deniers will leave it at that and not even consider transmasc issues, labeling us as "TME" and contributing to our erasure. One example which shows this, and that I've discussed at length in another post, is a transandrophobia denier saying this:

As I've said before on this blog, this type of statement screams "I am extremely uneducated on transmasculine erasure." By claiming that TEHMs simply care about gatekeeping their communities, you're agreeing with their rhetoric. TEHMs are, literally, the male version of transphobic lesbians. Full stop. They are exactly as dangerous and actually a lot more common than transphobic lesbians, and this has been supported by many surveys.

So why this long digression into talking about TEHMs? Because the experience of being transmasc in a gay men's space is more similar to being transfem in a lesbian space than it is to being transmasc in a lesbian space. This is because we as people who were assigned a different gender at birth from the gender that most people in our respective queer spaces are or were assigned at birth face many of the same issues, and trying to apply a TMA/TME framework to the oppression that we face only works when we look at sapphic spaces because GNC cis men and AMAB enbies in queer men's spaces actually have privilege over us AFAB people.

In fact, many TEHMs are accepting of, and will date, feminine nonbinary people who were AMAB. None of this makes sense if we apply a framework that centers transmisogyny. Instead, it's helpful instead to see transmisogyny and transandrophobia as two sides of the same coin: both are an intersection of transphobia and misogyny, but they apply to different groups of people and affect us in different ways.

I guess my main point here is that centering transmisogyny in discussions of trans liberation and trans-inclusive feminism will only continue to perpetuate transmasculine erasure and transandrophobia, and denying that this happens makes you, in fact, part of the problem.

Writeblr Intro ✨

Greetings! I am Elias, also known as Isa (they/he). I’m a disabled, neuroqueer writer of disabled, neuroqueer stories. I’d love to meet more writers, and I’m always happy to join tag games and receive asks.

Fantasy is my first and favourite genre, but I have also written contemporary fiction, sci-fi, and romance—and who knows what genres I will feel inspired to write next. I’m not picky about age groups either and write MG, YA and adult stories. I write in both Dutch (my native language) and English, depending on how the story comes to me.

Published work

Wandering Stars, in Changelings: An Autistic Trans Anthology. A hopeful YA sci-fi/dystopian short story.

More about my WIPs under the cut!

WIPs

All of these titles are mostly unserious working titles because I usually only come up with an actually good title near the end of the story (and I also like keeping that a secret 🤫).

Currently working on:

Enby Witch Kid, a middle grade portal fantasy about a 12 year old kid who uses a spell to travel to a different world; drawing from my experience of being autistic and queer but only understanding it as ‘not fitting in’, and dreaming of escaping to a magical world

Nameless Romance, a t4t, autistic 4 autistic, ace 4 ace new adult romance novella about finding your own identity outside of society’s (and specifically parents’) expectations

Wankele machten (Unstable Powers), a fantasy adventure full of morally questionable characters I’m co-writing with my brother, in Dutch; it’s based on backstory for our DnD campaign

On pause:

Labyrinth, a multi-POV YA portal fantasy set in the same universe as Enby Witch Kid; I finished a first draft of this a few years ago, but I’ve since changed my mind about a lot of things and basically need to re-write the whole thing; and it makes more sense to publish my middle grade in this setting first, anyway

Ik wil alleen maar zwemmen/Ik ben Kikker (I only want to swim/I am Frog), a YA contemporary with a nonbinary autistic protagonist about friendship, romance, figuring out your whole life when you’re 17/18, and swimming; these working titles are a song reference and a children’s book reference, respectively

I also have a lot more story ideas that are mostly just collections of notes or random scenes—a sapphic vampire story, genderqueer beauty & the beast, a darker fantasy story set in the Enby Witch Kid/Labyrinth universe, a sequel to Labyrinth… And that’s not even all of them! My brain is a whirlpool of unfinished stories.

[thisismisogynoir]

something I don't understand about 'bi lesbians' and 'mspec lesbians' is that they can literally just call themselves bi? like you already have so many terms (wlw, sapphic, etc.) and yet you still want to use lesbian? a term that is the only one that excludes men? it's giving biphobia, lesbophobia, and misogyny ALL IN ONE

Fucking EXACTLY! They just want to make lesbians available to men and don’t respect the fact that there is a label out there that exists specifically to exclude them. Because god forbid women and enbies have something to themselves. That is just too much. The men need to be included in everything.

[kate-les-bridge-stewart]

I've been thinking of osgate again (it seems they've become my best coping method as I navigate the incomprehensible nightmare that is American health insurance) so here's some random thoughts I have.

Osgood is a breaking bad superfan and has been since it came out

Kate never saw it until osgood and her started dating and osgood convinced her (with much difficulty) to just watch the first episode with her once.

It was all downhill (or uphill for osgood) from there

(I'll try to keep the breaking bad posting to a minimum and this post spoiler free 😅)

So I hc kate is bisexual with a preference for women but, she fell in love with gus fring the moment she saw him

Osgood had to listen to kate go on an unhinged rant about how hot Gustavo is

"His voice! His bloody accent Os! The subtle roll of his tongue! His eyes!"

And don't even get me started when she saw him in a t-shirt for the first time

She damn near had a stroke

As for how osgood feels about this, I think they're both perfectly fine with each other expressing attraction to other people

They don't have an open relationship per se, but they aren't exclusive either

In Kate's experience, strictly exclusive relationships where attraction is very limited is typically a breeding ground for jealousy and eventual boredom

So she and osgood agreed to keep things open and fresh but also have an open dialogue if either of them ever feels discontent

Of course they still love each other, they're madly in love

But they understand that sometimes they will need some space away from each other in order to keep their relationship fresh, alive, and strong

Also they both just love looking at hot people and talking about how hot they are lol

As for osgood, she's gender nonconforming (any pronouns) and identifies as sapphic/lesbian, though she occasionally has attraction to enbies

Now that I'm thinking of gender labels, time for me to go all mogai nerd on you all hehe

For the sake of fun I'm gonna go into even more detail about osgoods gender. I think she'd identify as nebularian and/or stellunarian

Both of those labels are under the galactian umbrella, a nonbinary gender alignment system for enby people who want to use label(s) that describe much more specified and complex gender identities/feelings

As for her sexuality, I think she'd use the labels of sapphic/lesbian but also trixic (enby attraction to fem people/femininity)

Now Kate's gender identity is much simpler lol, she just identifies as a woman (she/her) (though whether or not she's cis is up to you to decide ;) )

Now about their relationship, I think kate is kinda futch. She likes having a bit of masc/androgynous flare like wearing more masculine perfumes or sometimes suits

Being a woman in a position of power means she's had to work her ass off to get people (mainly gross rich old men) to respect her and recognize her authority, and one way she managed to do that was to dress just slightly more masculine, wearing shorter heels or just flats, wearing pants over skirts, shirts, ties, and jackets that resemble men's suits, stuff like that.

Of course she still prefers to present feminine in many ways as that makes her most comfortable, but she also likes the added touch of subtle masculinity

Osgoods gender expression is just a mystery and she likes keeping it that way

There are times where kate likes to lean more masculine/butch

One particular date they went to a club where that nights theme was knights, princesses and princes

Kate went straight for the role of a knight, dressing up all masc and pulling every chivalrous cliche in the book

She kissed osgoods hand, bowed to her, held open every door for her, the whole nine yards

Osgood was dressed as a sorta prince/princess and she was blushing the whole night

UGH now I need to draw them like that

[rose-wine-selfships]

Hi! Feel like talking about any of your F/Os or S/Is? Also, how are you doing? (@allhailknifeprincess)

In fact, he does @allhailknifeprincess ….

*Tw: Mentions of murder and rape

Hello there!

If you’re ok with me gushing in my inbox about F/Os I’d love to start! I don’t think I’ve ever loved any transmasc enby icon more than Oscar Francois de Jarjayes from Rose of Versailles. He is everything to me. He made me realize that my sexuality (I’m bisexual) is valid and that I can love characters with complex gender and sexual identities.

He’s so handsome, inside and out. And his brave, smart, and strong character made me fall hard. If it weren’t for Oscar, I don’t think I’d be in such a good place mentally right now. I’m living in a difficult situation but he gave me the strength to keep going no matter what.

I hate the fact he has a canon love interest though, and he doesn’t even respect him as a person at all. He did horrible things to him such as attempted r*pe and m*rder of him. He deserves so much better than him and it hurts my heart to see him with that certain love interest. I could never do such horrible things to control him, scare him, or try to possess him. He’s NO object…he’s a HUMAN BEING for Christ’s sake! However, It has been implied he’s sapphic and is attracted to women so it kinda gives me hope since I myself am demi-female.

I love him so much, and my heart flutters so hard when I see him. I want him to love me unconditionally, and to feel his love through forged love letters, artwork, and fanfics I made for him. He’s my rock in this sea of life, and I hope to keep him that way. He may be a fictional character, but my love for him is so real and unconditional.

I can only hope he feels the same way too through some universe. 😔💖

LIKES AND KINKS.

general: respect and communication above all. good girls, rough doms, lingerie, toys, power bottoms, mean femmes, sexting, teasing, pleading, hair pulling, name calling, roleplay, bdsm. specifics:

using my mouth/my mouth being used. im so so into eating someone out or suck them dry fr i get so wet just thinking about it. i love to get my face ridden, too.

praise. i have uhh issues and i love being told im doing a good job or how good i feel. i’ve never been called a good girl or a good boy but fuck if i don’t want to. this applies while in a top or a bottom role i don’t care i just wanna be good for you.

edging. mostly i like to be edged. i have a hard time controlling my orgasms sometimes i cum really hard and really fast, i’d love someone who could tame me. however, edging someone and having control over their orgasms make me wild so … ungjjkl yes.

riding. god i love being ridden because my clit reacts wonderfully every time. i love having to hold back while i watch my rider move and bounce and moan. but i also like to ride, i get so fucking desperate i’ll definitely bruise you. just .. let’s ride each other, babe, please.

spanking. i have a heavy hand and i love having a whimpering mess across my lap. i love kneading a full ass, getting it red and tender and taking care of it gently afterward. come here, baby, let me spank you.

rough touch. i like to grab and bruise and being grabbed and bruised. i have firm hands and prominent curves, im not afraid to use them.

cocks. god, i get so wet thinking about them. i need to be dicked down so bad.

domming. i just thoroughly enjoy manhandling people, giving them orders, and having an overall obedient, pliant, sensitive little thing all for myself.

experimenting. trying new things, being shown new things … i’m very open to them as long as they’re not on my hard limits list, so … try me, babe.

already too horny to think of anything else rn but id most definitely be adding to this so keep an eye out ig!!!

TENTATIVES …

no. being called mommy. i can be daddy, but def not mommy. although this can change with time or depending on the mood, that’s why it is on this list.

yes. poly. i’ve never tried it before but i want to. i’d love being a couple’s toy, an inspiring third, an spectator … make your offer and let’s see ;) . THIS ONLY APPLIES TO WLW AND WLNB COUPLES.

yes. submitting. never done this before either but there are days ( and seasons lbr ) when i’m feeling really bottom-y and i’d love to try being submitted, manhandled, and fucked into next year by a good, feral domme.

yes. cnc/dub-con. i have a very healthy, experienced approach to this, especially with victims of abuse who use it to heal and/or decompress, but i like communication to be at its top so it is safe for both ( or more ) parts.

HARD LIMITS.

scat/piss kinks or anything body waste related.

anal. giving or receiving, just a hard no.

minors, ageplay, dd/lg.

furries, animal related kinks in general, zoophilia and the like.

[hacemorra-death-gremlin]

Oh yeah just feel like i should say; if you’re proship or MAP or NOMAP or whatever fucking term pedophiles are using nowadays get the fuck off my account right now. You are not welcome here and I am going to beat you with a stick 

[moonmoonthecrabking]

i'm going to go on a big season three bisexual rant because there are no thoughts in here apart from some gremlins chanting "bi bi bi bi"

very happy for redlyn being bi4bi, it's pretty rare to have on bi character, let alone two, let alone in a relationship

i really appreciate that it's a disney+ show aimed at a younger audience giving this representation. despite my thoughts on disney as a Company, at least there are creators within it who are like "you know what? queer rep."

neither ash nor red (presumably) cheat on each other when figure out their respective identities, and neither of them are really portrayed as promiscuous or super popular characters unlike brittany in glee or whomstever in euphoria. not that this is bad at all to be, and if people see themselves in those characters, then that's of course great!!! but having it in this way made me realise there's never been too much "kid-friendly" bi rep (luz from toh predating this by a couple of years), and i am so happy that we're now getting that

ashlyn being "nO I Just Like Her As A Friend" until the fireworks? iconic sapphic experience

her "I HAVE A BOYFRIEND WHO IS MALE" is kinda an examination into comphet and that experience of. well. i've liked men in the past and this is a girl and it's not exactly identical but it's definitely not a friend thing was really relatable to me

and while it hasn't really been confirmed if she's a secular or religious jew (because unfortunately i don't know enough about judaism, sorry!!), it seems that at least a little part of her was struggling with the intersection between religion and queerness. and again, while that's not a lot of people, there are religious people in the queer community and that representation can be really helpful for people who want the best of both world

also??? lesbian (yes i am assuming madmad are lesbians BUT I COULD BE WRONG) AND bi AND gay men representation???? quality content right here.

that being said, there are some flaws. i didn't love how we didn't get to see her come out to her friends or big red. i get that the latter was an intimate moment, but like so was the rina kiss. she mentioned that her "dating pool has expanded" but it didn't seem like she had told anyone yet, until carlos showed up with a pride pin (king behaviour btw).

it seems like the in-universe show is going to out her??? maybe she ended up putting something in the confessionals but... idk the way it was edited was really confusing to me

actually yeah that's really it. i'm so confused about the timeline and people's coming outs. for example, i assumed that when ricky looked at ashlyn for confirmation and she nodded she already knew, but i've seen other people interpreting that scene as her finding out??? i personally would've liked some things to be spelt out more.

just let her have a one-liner next season like "I'm too hot and bisexual for this" it's not that hard???

while i would like redlyn to stay together, i understand that you can't always get what you want. IF they have an amicable break-up then i think that there are a lot of potential fun scenes there!!!

btw ricky bowen? not straight. no way. elton with his storyline may be harkening back to the og trilogy's "gay coded but...". gina and kourtney could be straight but i don't want them to be. and i would love it if there were some aro/ace/trans/enby representation with any new characters!!!

also rip to portwell shippers, congrats to rina shippers. good luck to both of you

[seraphic-sapphic-safehaven]

AMAB enby sapphics are great and belong in the sapphic community. Yes, that includes even the masc ones who some might deem not sapphic enough. Newsflash: THEY ARE SAPPHIC ENOUGH!! All AMAB enby sapphics are sapphic enough!! Stop treating them differently and give them the love, respect, and acceptance they deserve!

[coolestfinch]

ok . this is gonna be a big boy post so strap in i know a lot of the sapphic/wlw community is centered around soft things about loving girls (you know how almost all the posts add up to “hold girl hand, kiss, braid hair, live in cottage”) but many of them include details that only apply to feminine wlw and that bothers me to no end.

i want appreciation for the girls who aren't seen as soft. bold women with buzzed heads and strong bodies and masculine style that was born out of our love and admiration for women and our desire to be seen the same way. and i do NOT mean any of that fucking “omg hot butch lady step on me uwu” shit. let butch lesbians and other masculine wlw still BE soft (WITHOUT using words such as “soft butch” just to mean a less masculine butch or a butch who likes teddy bears or whatever. soft butch is a term for chubby and fat butches and we should not be using it for other bullshit). we still have feelings. we love. we cry. we can enjoy things like picnics and cheek kisses and plushies. we are human beings and no matter how “mannish” we look, we are still women who deserve love and respect. hyper sexualizing us while leaving us out of our own community is just a bullshit fetishization masqueraded as inclusion. we love women the same way you do. love us back. [THIS POST INCLUDES TRANS WOMEN AND ENBYS. FUCK OFF.]

[parrot-blues]

inazuma hc's (favourite charas as always)

**SPOILERS FOR LEAKS ON PLAYABLE SCARAMOUCHE**

raiden ei: she/they, agender, quoirom/greysexual

yae miko: she/her, trans, sapphic

kazuha: he/him, trans, aroace

kujou sara: she/her, trans, enby, birom/ace

thoma: he/him (doesn't mind they), oriented aroace

favourite ships: eimiko, ittosara

romantic relations hc's

eimiko: miko is really hurt and still doesn't fully trust ei bc of the whole leaving for half a millenium thing; ei feels really guilty bc she was gone for half of miko's lifespan (kitsune typically stay on earth for 1k years, and she was gone for 500). they're working to rebuild their relationship w/each other, and also to fix the destruction the shogun caused for the country

eisara: they're not actually together (nor would they ever be) but kujou sara can't tell if what she feels for ei/shogun is romantic or not. obviously she would never confess (she'd perish on the spot if the archon ever found out), but she does wonder sometimes how it would feel to be closer to the person she admires so much. another reason kujou sara never pursued the relationship was because she is aware of the severe power imbalance between them (and also knows ei's heart belongs with miko). she knows her feelings are unrequited, but it doesn't hurt as much as she thought it would because she is happy just being able to talk to ei as both an advisor and a casual friend. ei is endeared by kujou sara's loyalty to her, and wonders why miko keeps teasing the poor girl about her "obvious crush" on ei (she's dense as hell). ei regrets the fact that kujou sara was loyal to what is essentially a robot, and is determined to be a better ruler to show her (and miko) that she can change for the better.

qpr relations hc's

ittosara: I think we all know the classic trope here, but here's a little twist: kujou sara came to terms with her feelings first and confessed. itto helps kujou sara from underground by getting on the inside of legitimately dangerous organisations in inazuma. kujou sara would never show it, but she's always worried (and grateful) for his help

ittorou: itto found gorou's tenacity (and stature) very cute, and when they became friends thanks to the resistance itto's feelings became more intense. gorou always looked up to itto's confidence and charisma, and he also found him very charming and easy to be around. itto and gorou actually became partners before itto and kujou sara did; they all sat down and discussed their qpr polycule after itto told gorou he liked kujou sara. when kujou sara confessed to itto, he and gorou had already agreed on the terms of their polycule, so itto told kujou sara to come with him. then, they all managed to come to an agreement. itto also helps gorou gather intel; gorou and kujou sara both worry for him together (they make sure to bring him plenty of good snacks when he returns).

friendships hc's

tomo and kazuha: very close friends; kazuha looked up to tomo like a role model. tomo was very endeared by kaz's loyalty and devotion to him, and right before he died he silently apologised to kazuha for being "so reckless and foolish" and leaving him behind. kazuha blamed himself for his death for a very long time, until barbatos couldn't take it anymore ("the wind knows me") and sent a breeze to inform kazuha of tomo's last regret. obviously this didn't fix everything right away, but knowing that tomo didn'f blame him relieved a lot of guilt from kazuha

kujou sara and gorou: mainly became friends bc they're both partners w/itto; at first they were very mistrustful of each other, but itto helped both realise that they could trust each other

shinobu and itto: besties. almost as close as siblings; itto remarks that he sees shinobu like the responsible sibling-type friend. shinobu sees itto as a chaotic sibling figure, but relies on him for support as she needs (they trust each other a lot). despite their frequent jabs at each other, they respect each other a lot. shinobu is the one who makes sure itto doesn't get himself killed on espionage missions (though she'd never tell his partners, for everyone's sake)

rivalries hc's

kazuha and scaramouche: their idealogies clash. hard. scaramouche is the only person who genuinely annoys and angers kazuha thanks to his sheer lack of regard for human life. scaramouche actually respects kazuha's fortitude as a wanderer, and (very, *very* deep down) secretly looks up to him in that regard. kazuha feels nothing but contempt for "that man"

heizou and kazuha: heizou hates that he can never seem to one-up kazuha, but at the same time he loves the challenge. kazuha is just praying that heizou never catches up to him. if they ever became friends, it's not apparent to the outside observer; they're a bit like genshin version of tom and jerry, always playing cat and mouse

scaramouche and xiao: xiao doesn't understand why venti gave scaramouche a vision. he hates scaramouche for not only hurting aether, but also collaborating with the organisation that stole venti's gnosis. "nothing about that man can be trusted," as xiao puts it. scaramouche doesn't know xiao exists (yet)

scaramouche and aether: aether resents scaramouche for being part of the fatui (not only bc they took venti's gnosis, but just in general for all their crimes). he disagrees w/venti's decision to give him a gnosis, but venti says he has a bit of a "plan" with regards to that... scaramouche thinks aether is pathetic

[blake-belladonna-defence-force]

So... I just came out to my sister and niece as non binary, gay and as having a partner for the first time and nobody brought up my previous coming out as being ace-aro... which is fucking insane to me!

I think she wanted to check in and make sure I was being called the right thing?

Regardless... I was utterly floored by the question as it was so fucking unexpected that I just end up stuttering and stumbling over my words until I sigh heavily, rub my forehead wearily and loudly say “Fuck it. Coming out time; I’m non binary” to them.

As expected, they were surprised and confused until I explained it to them and these cishet then women asked me uncomfortable (though not unexpected) questions that I immediately shut down and they respected that I wasn’t going to answer them.

I thought that my coming out was over until my niece asks me if I like men or women and suddenly, I have to make the choice to either keep them thinking I’m fully aro or let them know I’m on the ace lesbian spectrum.

I tell them that I’m sapphic as fuck so... I’m attracted to women. I literally come out a second time in under five minutes and I am slightly overwhelmed but they’re being chill.

And then! AND THEN!! Then this niece of mine asks if I have a girlfriend and like... I am just way too overwhelmed to really explain what a queer platonic partner is because I know that’s a longer conversation and I just do not have the spoons to explain it, so I simply say “Yeah. I have a partner, they’re long distance and they’re pretty incredible.”

*internal gay enby screaming*

They congratulate me and accept it all. I mean... yes, they asked some uncomfortable questions but they respected it when I shut them down and they were really chill about it all.

In fact... The conversation ended with my sister telling me that she’s really proud of me for just coming out and saying who I am without shame.

I was so scared to come out to them. I never thought I could really authentically be me around them so this is... very unexpected and overwhelming, albeit very welcomed.

I still don’t know if I’ll ever come out to my grandparents beyond “Hey, I’m gay” but hey. One step at a time, right?

Today was already a huge step considering I came out about different three things in under five minutes and you know what? I’m proud of that...

Even if I am shaking as I type this all out xD

^^^ an older photo of me but I like to think it captures the masc/butch gay vibes pretty well 😊

"Penny?" Emily calls as she steps into their flat, arms loaded with the supplies her wife had sent her out to retrieve. It's been four weeks since Penelope finally gave birth, four weeks since she cried like the baby she was holding in the delivery room, so overwhelmed with the feeling of finally belonging somewhere, finally having a family.

Penelope doesn't reply, so Emily shuts the front door quietly and dumps her shoes and jacket in the hall to go searching for her wife, and inevitably, their daughter who will no doubt be in her arms. After a brief nosy around the flat, she eventually finds them in the armchair in Winnie's room; their daughter fast asleep in her mommy's arms as Penelope looks adoringly down at her.

"Hey, baby," Emily whispers, leaning on the doorway as she smiles warmly at the scene in front of her.

Penelope looks up briefly, before her eyes return to the baby in her arms, as though they can never stray away from her for long, always drawn back by some instinctive magnetism Emily couldn't hope to compete with. "Hey, Em."

Emily has always thought that Penelope was utterly beautiful, she's been in love with her from pretty much the day she met her, but something about her being a new mom has her looking more ethereal than ever. Despite the lost sleep and the tiredness from feeding and the disrupted routine, she glows constantly, an aura of happiness and contentedness shrouding her every minute of the day, no matter the pitifully few hours of sleep they've managed to get.

"She fell asleep while feeding," she says quietly, still smiling down at Winnie before looking up at Emily again. "Did you get them?"

Emily nods and pushes off the doorframe to quietly put away the diapers in the chest of drawers, leaving the food she bought for them in the bottom of the tote, bar one item which she lifts out with a flourish.

"I know you still don't want to drink while you're breastfeeding," Emily says, "but that doesn't mean you can't have a big fat bar of Cadbury's chocolate."

They'd both become addicted to the British chocolate bars when they visited and lived in London respectively, and Emily knows how much Penelope's been craving it ever since.

"Oh my God, Em, how did you get that?" Penelope gasps, reaching out to take the bar from her with one arm while still holding Winnie close to her breast with the other.

Emily chuckles softly. "Spencer signed us up for the British Chocolate Club, but the first order mistakenly went to his and Derek's, so I went to pick it up on the way back from the store."

Penelope looks up at her in wonderment. "Does that mean there's more?"

Emily waggles her eyebrows, grinning. "So. Much. More."

She knows her wife well enough to know that she is very much holding back an excited squeal for the sake of their sleeping baby right now. "Have I ever told you how much I love you?"

Emily smiles softly, looking down at her wife. "All the time, my love. You tell me all the time."

"Well, that's good," Penelope sighs, shifting her hold on Winnie slightly as their daughter starts to make the quiet snuffling noises she always does when she starts to wake up. "You need to know these things."

Emily hums. "Well, since her majesty is waking up, how about we go and sit on the sofa for a bit and cuddle? I would like to hold both of my babies, please."

Penelope beams up at her. "That sounds like a plan."

"Okay, sweetheart. Let me take Winnie while you stand up," Emily says gently, taking hold of her slowly waking daughter, immediately feeling that sense of completion she always does when she has her arms around Winnie or Penelope.

"Oh, I know, you had a nap with Mommy, didn't you?" she coos quietly at her yawning daughter as Penelope shifts herself up off the chair awkwardly, the aches and pains of pregnancy and her post-partum symptoms still lingering around.

When Penelope's up, they make their way slowly into the living room, Emily choosing one of their go-to comfort movies as she lets Penelope get comfy on the sofa before pulling Winnie's day bed and mobile closer to them on the floor so she can put her down easily when she starts to get restless.

Once that's in place and Penelope's comfortable, she sits down next to her and leans against her side with Winnie still firmly in her arms. "Okay, Pen?" she asks, pressing a kiss to her temple. She knows that she'll be asleep within minutes, and Emily will be left alone with Winnie for some quality Mama-Baby time, but right now, she's just thankful for her family being all together, safe and comfortable in their bright and spacious living room.

"Yeah, I'm all good, Em," she mumbles sleepily as the opening credits begin to play, her head falling onto her wife's shoulder. "Love you. Thank you for being the best."

Emily laughs. "Oh, shush. We both know it's you who's the best, you're the one who created and birthed this little munchkin after all."

"Yeah," Penelope sighs. "I am pretty awesome. But so are you."

Emily smiles, resting her head on top of Penelope's. "I love you, sweetheart," she says, but Penelope's already fast asleep, and all she's left with is Two Week's Notice playing on the TV and the gurgling, blinking, bright little face of her daughter staring right up at her. In this exact moment, she doesn't think she could possibly be happier.
