sneak peek: Irresponsible

Completed but yet-to-be-revealed fic fest entry

He caught her wrist but didn’t try particularly hard to stop her hooking a finger behind the knot of his tie and tugging it down a little further.

Audrey wet her lips.

“Do you want me to leave?” she murmured. Like she was asking a particularly delicious slice of chocolate cake if it didn’t want her to eat it. Like she knew the question was entirely rhetorical.

Because what did cake exist for, if not to be devoured by that mouth?

Percy pushed Audrey’s cardigan back from one shoulder.

“No, I don’t fucking want you to leave,” he whispered darkly, right before he pulled her in.

This was wrong.

It was stupid.

It was terribly cliche.

None of which (a little voice in the back of his mind pointed out) would matter, as long as no one found out.

Not Even A Little Bit, Not Even At All

Written for @greenhouse-seven's Behind the Greenhouse Fest, using the prompts: On the Job, Don't Get Caught and Accidental I Love You'.

What was it, she raged, that was the most aggravating? Was it the way he was leaning against the wall in that infuriating, deliberately casual manner that he always affected? Maybe the fact that he had somehow (and really - how?) got there before her? Or was it that he had the temerity to look so fucking hot while she was this blisteringly angry with him?

A late-night argument that spirals out of control has life-changing consequences for Lily Evans and the bane of her existence, James Potter.

This is by far the smuttiest thing I've ever written, and I'm still a bit nervous about it, so please be gentle with me:-) Thanks to @ginnyw-potter for being my cheerleader, beta-reader and just an all round fabulous person!

Rated E - because: smut, smut, smut!

Maybe the last crazy heat wave of the year aka organize a new tag and seed and greenhouse tools area but it feels like you are on the surface of the sun

OK tumblr! you're being conscripted in a game of RL tetris. Retail and warehouse workers are especially encouraged.

Here is the current layout of my room. The furniture is completely to scale, although the heater/rack/mirror corner is a bit off as the room divider is a zigzagging one and not completely straight:

As you can see, I have crammed a shitton of furniture in here, including a fold leaf table (the norden), a cabinet I've converted into a greenhouse, a clothes rack, a tallboy and so on. The thing between the laundry basket and the clothing rack is a room divider. Adds privacy when I have to leave the door open in summer and also having an extra barrier between me and my family just reduces stress just by being there.

I'm semi-preparing to move out. The loft bed is a fancy one with bookshelves, and I store a bunch of crap in it and under it, including a bigger laundry basket and a foldable book case.

But while I don't have move out plans yet, I'm semi-preparing to move in that I'm upgrading furniture that would be a real pain in the arse to move with (I don't even know how I'm going to move the greenhouse cabinet...), which means the loft bed has gotta go. I'm NOT gonna deal with disassembling and reassembling that monster.

I'm replacing it with a day bed. When I move I can use it as a sofabed until I get a real sofa and a real bed, and will use it as a guest bed afterwards.

But this means that I have to find storage for all the stuff I keep under it, which is where the kallax comes in.

My desk is also broken in such a way that once I disassemble it I probably won't be able to put it back together, so I'm going to get a new one so I can take that with me too.

I'm flying a little too close to the sun here, but I'm experimenting with seeing if I could possibly get a bigger desk. So I've come up with this layout:

But as you can see there is no room for my plants that way.

What I'm PROBABLY going to have to go with is a smaller desk and the same layout I've got now, but I'm posting here in hopes that someone with superior tetris skills has a solution.

Also I forgot to modify the plan for this, but the door opens inwards, not outwards. Oops.

im gonna be away all weekend so i cant promise a letters from bunny drawing for today (or if theres another chapter before monday) but i have my stuff with me so ill do my best 🫡

rearranged some stuff on my desk to accommodate a couple new stickers and ended up with kind of an accidental Affirmations Zone

Percy's, um, too good at organizing? He's too responsible?

I mean, he gets a lot done on his desk, I'll say that.

New Writing!

Married Hinny smut, written for the Behind the Greenhouse Fest, organised by the excellent @greenhouse-seven, and using the prompt 'Don't Touch Yourself'. I'm delighted to be kicking off the Fest in honour of the Chosen One's birthday!

Ginny is contractually obliged to attend the Q.U.A.B.B.L.E.'s annual charity ball, which means that Harry is obliged to go with her. Luckily, his wife is happy to make it worth his while!

Rated E for all the smutty smut - definitely NSFW!

Gen-rated Snippet below the cut!

Harry tugged irritably at the uncomfortable collar of his dress shirt and checked his watch for what felt like the hundredth time. “Come on, Ginny! We’re going to be late!”

“Since when did that ever bother you?” She swept down the stairs to meet him in the hallway, already wrapped in her winter cloak. A sliver of her electric blue evening dress peeped out just below the hem. “It isn’t like you even want to go to the gala anyway.”

“The sooner we get there, the sooner we can leave,” he told her, grumpily.

Ginny laughed. “Just keep telling yourself it’s all for a good cause. Q.U.A.B.B.L.E.’s charitable foundation has a really positive impact on disadvantaged wizarding communities, and this is—

“—their biggest fundraiser of the year,” he finished for her, with a sigh. “I know, I know.”

“And then there is the fact that I’m contractually—”

“—obliged to go. Yeah, I know that too.” Harry pulled a face.

“So cheer up!” she cajoled him. “All you have to do is walk up the red carpet with me and pose for a few photos, then you can skulk in whatever dark corner takes your fancy for the rest of the night. You don’t even have to smile. Broody smouldering will work just as well.”

“I do not smoulder!” he protested. “Broody or otherwise!”

Went for a walk in the park this morning! Decided to go a different way than usual (usually I go to this really foresty part and just wander amongst the trees, but this time I figured I'd shake it up) which was kind of a bad idea bc the sun was in my eyes almost the whole time, but I also ended up walking a lot further from the parking lot than usual!

Discovered the memorial forest I always see while driving but haven't actually been in. Apparently there's a tree there for my mom's friend who died of cancer a long time ago, but I don't know her full name so I couldn't find her on the memorial.

Saw some gorgeous fall colours on the way back! And then I couldn't figure out which way to go so I passed this couple with a rowdy dog (they were trying to teach it not to react to pedestrians but it was clearly still learning lol) and went up a hill....and discovered that was the wrong way to go, but didn't want to trouble the couple again so instead of going back down the hill I decided to take this extremely sketchy bike path instead:

My calves are not happy but I didn't fall on my ass so that's a victory!

Then the path disappeared and I was basically stuck on the wrong side of the river. At least I found some pretty moss and a wasp nest (?)

Eventually I realized I was on the opposite side of the river I always walk past when I go through the foresty part of the park, have always wondered what was on the other side lmao. The answer is a dead-end probably decommissioned bike path and some very thick underbrush (will have to do a really thorough tick check). Couldn't find a bridge (and didn't want to crash through the brush any more than I had to) so I found this improvised stepping stone path and somehow made it across without dunking myself:

Annnnd eventually made it back to the parking lot!

Can't believe I walked that far in like an hour round-trip, if I walked along the proper sidewalks it would take over an hour. Apparently Fish Creek Park is the secret shortcut to cover large distances through the city lmao.
