 Cryptocurrency and Blockchain in E-commerce: Revolutionizing the Way We Shop Online

 Cryptocurrency and Blockchain in E-commerce: Revolutionizing the Way We Shop Online

Remember when paying for your online purchases with a credit card felt cutting-edge? Well, buckle up, because we're on the brink of a payment revolution that's set to transform the e-commerce landscape. Cryptocurrency and blockchain technology are no longer just buzzwords for tech enthusiasts – they're rapidly becoming the next frontier of online payments. Let's dive into how these innovations are reshaping the way we buy and sell in the digital marketplace.

 1. The Rise of Crypto Payments: More Than Just Bitcoin

When most people think of cryptocurrency, Bitcoin immediately comes to mind. But the world of digital currencies has expanded far beyond its pioneering predecessor. From Ethereum to Litecoin, a whole ecosystem of cryptocurrencies is emerging as viable payment options in e-commerce.

Real-world adoption: Did you know that major e-commerce players like Overstock and Newegg have been accepting Bitcoin for years? And they're not alone. Even traditional payment giants like PayPal are jumping on the crypto bandwagon, allowing users to buy, hold, and sell cryptocurrencies directly through their platform.

As an online retailer or shopper, it's time to start familiarizing yourself with the major cryptocurrencies and how they work. Who knows? Your next online purchase might just be paid for with digital coins!

 2. Blockchain: The Unsung Hero of Secure Transactions

While cryptocurrencies grab the headlines, it's the underlying blockchain technology that's truly revolutionizing e-commerce behind the scenes. This decentralized ledger system is bringing unprecedented levels of security and transparency to online transactions.

Industry impact: Walmart has implemented blockchain to trace the origin of food products, enhancing food safety and reducing waste. Imagine being able to scan a QR code on your grocery items and instantly see their entire journey from farm to shelf!

For e-commerce businesses, blockchain offers the potential to streamline supply chains, reduce fraud, and build trust with customers. It's time to start exploring how this technology could benefit your online store.

 3. Smart Contracts: Automating Trust in E-commerce

Smart contracts, powered by blockchain technology, are set to revolutionize how we handle agreements in e-commerce. These self-executing contracts with the terms directly written into code can automate processes like escrow, refunds, and loyalty programs in e-commerce development

Practical application: Imagine a scenario where a customer's payment is held in escrow and automatically released to the seller once the tracking number shows the item has been delivered. No more disputes over undelivered packages!

As an e-commerce business owner, start thinking about how smart contracts could streamline your operations and enhance customer trust. The possibilities are truly exciting!

 4. Decentralized Marketplaces: Cutting Out the Middleman

Blockchain technology is paving the way for truly decentralized marketplaces, where buyers and sellers can interact directly without the need for intermediaries. This could potentially reduce fees and give both parties more control over their transactions.

Emerging trend: Platforms like OpenBazaar are already experimenting with this model, allowing users to trade directly using cryptocurrencies. It's like a blockchain-powered Etsy or eBay!

Whether you're a seller looking to maximize profits or a buyer seeking better deals, keep an eye on these decentralized platforms. They could represent the future of online marketplaces.

 5. Tokenization: Reimagining Loyalty Programs

Blockchain technology is breathing new life into customer loyalty programs through tokenization. By converting loyalty points into blockchain tokens, businesses can create more flexible, transferable, and valuable reward systems.

Innovation in action: Singapore Airlines has tokenized its frequent flyer miles, allowing members to instantly convert their miles into blockchain-based digital tokens that can be used with partner merchants.

For e-commerce businesses, tokenized loyalty programs could be a game-changer in customer retention and engagement. It's time to start thinking about how you could tokenize your own reward system!

 6. Micro-transactions: Opening Up New Possibilities

Cryptocurrencies and blockchain make micro-transactions more viable than ever before. This opens up new possibilities for content monetization and pay-per-use models in e-commerce.

Real-world example: Brave, a privacy-focused web browser, allows users to tip content creators with small amounts of cryptocurrency. Imagine being able to pay a fraction of a cent to read an article or watch a video!

For online businesses, especially those in digital goods and services, micro-transactions could unlock new revenue streams. It's worth exploring how this model could apply to your offerings.

 7. Cross-Border Transactions: Breaking Down International Barriers

One of the most exciting aspects of cryptocurrency in e-commerce is its potential to simplify cross-border transactions. By eliminating currency conversion fees and reducing processing times, crypto payments could make international e-commerce smoother than ever.

Global impact: Ripple, a blockchain-based payment protocol, is being used by banks and financial institutions to facilitate faster, cheaper international transfers. This technology could be a game-changer for e-commerce businesses operating globally.

If you're an e-commerce business with international ambitions, it's time to start considering how cryptocurrency payments could help you reach a global audience more efficiently.          

 8. The Challenge of Volatility: Navigating the Crypto Rollercoaster

Of course, it's not all smooth sailing in the world of cryptocurrency. The notorious volatility of digital currencies presents a significant challenge for e-commerce adoption. After all, no one wants the value of their payment to plummet overnight!

Innovative solution: Stablecoins, cryptocurrencies pegged to stable assets like the US dollar, are emerging as a potential solution. They offer the benefits of crypto with the stability of traditional currencies.

As we move forward, keep an eye on developments in stablecoins and other volatility-mitigation strategies. They could be the key to widespread crypto adoption in e-commerce.

 Conclusion: Embracing the Crypto-Commerce Revolution

As we stand on the brink of this new era in e-commerce, it's clear that cryptocurrency and blockchain are more than just passing trends. They represent a fundamental shift in how we think about online transactions, trust, and value exchange.

For e-commerce businesses, now is the time to start exploring these technologies. Whether it's accepting crypto payments, implementing blockchain in your supply chain, or reimagining your loyalty program with tokens, there are countless opportunities to innovate and stay ahead of the curve.

And for online shoppers, get ready for a future where your purchases are more secure, your loyalty points are more valuable, and your options for payment are more diverse than ever before.

The crypto-commerce revolution is here, and it's transforming the online shopping experience one block(chain) at a time. Are you ready to be part of this exciting new frontier? Let's embrace the future of e-commerce together, where the possibilities are as endless as the blockchain itself!

[bubbles-for-all-of-us]

A destiny encounter where unmasked Vessel (still sour and hurt by his past relationship) meet a nice person (younger but mature) at a music shop. Slowly they get close with each other and develop romantic feelings. When its time for them to confess their feelings, Vessel decided to tell his secret about who he is. Turns out his lover is a big fan of Sleep Token e Vessel have this big grin on his face while his significant other babble about how amazing his music is.

Bye~ and sorry 🫠🫢

Healing hearts

Vessel had decided that was it. No more. No more relationships. No more commitment. He wasn’t gonna ever open himself up. He was too damaged. Too hurt. Too scared of ever giving any piece of himself to anyone else again. But life worked in funny ways. When he first met you he thought nothing of it. He had just come back from a tour. Tired and drained all he had wanted was to come back to his usual routines. One of them was visiting random music shops, shit that has opened while they had been away.

Vessel rarely paid others peace of mind. He didn’t want to be approached so equally he didn’t want others to think he was all up in their space. But his eyes instantly found you. As if by a pull from the moment he stepped into a store. He wasn’t sure what drew him in. From a first glance, you looked like every other girl. Big fluffy scarf. Hair pulled up in a messy bun. Concentrated on digging through the vinyl records.

“Wouldn’t buy them here if I was you”, for a moment Vessel was almost confused himself that he had said anything at all. Until your head turned to him. “Sorry?”, you quickly reached for your airpods pulling them out. And it’s when your eyes hit him that Vessel realized how truly mesmerizing you were. His mouth closed and fell open a couple of times before he reached out for the shelf. “The records are overpriced here”, he repeated, clearing his throat. “Oh, I… thank you?! I was just…”, you stuttered, pushing a strand of hair behind your ear, “I’m new to the area”. Vessel nodded quickly, “There’s a spot just down the corner. Same stuff half the price”. A slight smile softened your face even more, “Thank you, I’ve been missing music in my apartment”.

“A musician?”, Vessel asked making you quickly shake your head, “Just an enthusiast”, you chuckled, “Y/n by the way”. And here it is the moment that usually has him running for the hills. Because from this point you would no longer be strangers. “Vess”, he extended his much bigger palm to you. “Tea?”, you asked, “For saving my wallet for unnecessary purchases”, you chuckled and Vessel couldn’t help but smile himself, “Wouldn’t this be an unnecessary purchase?”, “Nope, feels like an investment”, you shrugged. A feeling Vessel hasn’t felt in a while sparks deep within as he let himself watch you for a minute. Something deep urging him to try this one more time, “Sure”, he mused, “Lead the way”.

The Lady from the park- The Sun and the Candlelight

Timeskip! Hinata Shoyo x fem! reader

Genre: fluff

Warning: grammar mistakes

Keywords: accidental meeting, opposite attracts

A short description: Dear reader, take my hand, as we take a look at how the bright Sun and the dim candlelight perfectly burn together, showing their world to each other and melt together in beautiful flames.

A quote from the fanfiction:

"Hinata listened to her quietly. It’s been a few weeks that they’re talking and the more he got to know about her, the more he was falling.

His golden gaze followed her small movements; the way she opened her hands when explaining certain situations, or how her eyes glimmered when she was happy, or how she chuckled when he joked around or imitated his teammates.

-Can you imagine? Tsumu’s brother has an onigiri restaurant and he doesn’t know how to cook. I mean, if my brother was the owner of the best onigiri restaurant I’d probably have some basic cooking skills at least. –His eyes brightened as a sudden idea light up in his mind- I actually know how to cook! Would you like to try it?"

Shy white puffs were wandering on the sky above the big city of Osaka, bringing temporary sanctuary from the scorching Sun that’s been burning the residents for a while now. Japanese summers are really unpredictable: one minute it’s raining cats and dogs, the next it’s so hot, one could melt into the ground. People were fatigued, panting and were stopping by every restaurant or konbini that offered refreshment. However there was one certain redhead who was not affected by the power of the Sun: his shoulders were decorated with freckles, his body was nicely tanned and his whole being was vibrating with so much energy. That’s right, the Japanese volleyball superstar was spotted and his fans were stopping him, chatting, asking for his signature despite the insane heat. Hinata Shoyo was after all brighter than the Sun.

Despite his unquestionable devotion to his fans, this time Ninja Shoyo had a mission to complete, and was hurried to reach the place where all had started...

Before moving to Brazil- and returning, before becoming a famous volleyball star, before all this, he was a simple man- he still is though- and hoped to stay like this, maybe a bit more confidence would not hurt, because as of now, he was desperately needed some.

There was a park. No, that’s not it. There was THE park, where magic happens. By magic, he meant the sweetest, kindest, most stunning lovely lady, who happened to be there every single sunny day at 5 pm, just sitting on a bench, relaxing for a bit, occasionally reading or drawing.

They had met accidentally, when one time Hinata had forgot his wallet on a bench and the woman had returned it to him that evening. Ever since then the man looked for her in the park to thank her properly and after about a week, he found her sitting on a bench, reading a psychology book about children and their development. Hinata sat next to her, and tried to stay quiet, but his urges told him to start a conversation and he did. He learnt that her name was Y/n and was kindergarten teacher working with special needs children- as the book in her hand indicated- she was devoted to her job and was really patient. She was similar to a candle light, attracting all that’s wishing to see in the dark. He also learnt her favourite ice cream flavours and that she gets sunburnt easily, she prefers physical books over e-books or kindle, because she likes the sound of turning paper, sometimes she drums with her fingers just to hear the slight tap of the hardcover.

Hinata told her about his time in Brazil, how he had learnt many things there, both about volleyball and life.

-And then I just boom and that was my first score on the beach. –His booming voice attracted many passerby’s gaze, but he didn’t care as he was too indulged in the story. Y/n was nodding, gasping, also too engulfed to care about the rest of the world. When their gaze met, Hinata knew...

And that’s how their story started.

Every day at 5 pm, they met in the park, sat on the same bench, and were sharing their day with each other.

-Did I mention that little Mina said her first word today? I immediately called her mom, she was so overjoyed, I think she cried a little, but I’m not sure. Anyway, we are also proud at her.

-What was her first word? –Hinata asked, eager to hear about a little girl he doesn’t even know.

-Umeboshi. –Y/n chuckled. –She really loves it, and today a small amount of umeboshi was served at lunch, and she wanted to ask for more and said the word.

-Such a smart kid.- Hinata beamed, clearly happy for the child too.

-Yeah, to be honest, I started to question my abilities as a teacher, because no matter what method we used, nothing seemed to work with her speech delay. The parents were also concerned, luckily we could get her in a special therapy and it seemed to be working. So I’m relieved and happy and I just feel so much emotions. This was a very good first step.

Hinata listened to her quietly. It’s been a few weeks that they’re talking and the more he got to know about her, the more he was falling.

His golden gaze followed her small movements; the way she opened her hands when explaining certain situations, or how her eyes glimmered when she was happy, or how she chuckled when he joked around or imitated his teammates.

-Can you imagine? Tsumu’s brother has an onigiri restaurant and he doesn’t know how to cook. I mean, if my brother was the owner of the best onigiri restaurant I’d probably have some basic cooking skills at least. –His eyes brightened as a sudden idea light up in his mind- I actually know how to cook! Would you like to try it?

He facepalmed in his mind at how vehement his request sounded, but before he would’ve started to ramble, Y/n nodded.

-If it’s okay with you, then yes, I would like to try the food you make. –Her voice was gentle, calm, reassuring, despite the uncertainity in her bright e/c eyes.

-Yes! I mean, great. Then how about tomorrow at 7 pm? Or it is too late? Too early? Whatever is good for you works for me.

-7 pm is good, then I meet you at your place. –Y/n replied with an encouraging smile on her face.

The next day felt like ten minutes to Hinata: he got up extra early, went to practise, cleaned the house, went to the gym, cooked a simple dinner consisting of tonkotsu ramen and zunda mochi- the latter is a famous sweet from Miyagi. Turns out, Y/n was also from the prefecture, but went to Aoba Joshai, and yes she had heard about Karasuno, which only fuelled Hinata’s pride.

7 pm approached and he was not ready! He quickly took a shower, combed through his messy hair and got dressed in nice clothes, and exactly at 7 pm he heard the bell.

And there she was, stunning as ever, dressed in a nice summer dress, that was modest, comfortable, yet had a cheeky vibe. Hinata’s jaw dropped upon taking a look at the woman standing in front of him, but collected himself and let her in. She took off her shoes at the entrance and moved along to the diner where Hinata had already made the table.

The decoration was simple: a bouquet of various flowers were standing in a simple white vase, two candles were lit next to it, one on each side. The dishes were quality ones with simple decoration, reflecting Hinata’s mother’s taste-she was the one buying things for her son after all.

Y/n sat on a chair, surprised that she has met with another Western style apartment, but didn’t mind. Nowadays they were pretty popular in big cities.

-Your place is nice. –She said, as she took in the minimalistic style of Hinata’s house. The man thanked her and went to the kitchen to serve the food.

First arrived the ramen. Tonkotsu ramen to be exact, which may seem like a difficult dish to make, and it is a pretty tough food, but Hinata was not a quitter. True, he called his mom four times, and once Osamu, and with their help he was able to create the beautifully served dish that was waiting to be eaten.

Y/n took one look at the food and was pleasantly surprised. The broth looked perfect, the additions were in harmony with the richness of the ramen, everything went well together.

-Itadakimasu.- She said and went for the first bite.

Hinata was too anxious to say anything and waited for Y/n to react at the taste or lack of it. His eyes eagerly watched as the woman swallowed and looked up to say something.

-It’s really delicious, the taste, the richness, everything screams like home to me. You really know how to cook Hinata san.

-I told you to call me Shoyo, and thank you, I’m glad you like it. –It was like the weight of the world would’ve rolled down off of his shoulders and started to eat too.

From that on, the conversation shifted back into normal, everyday topics: like how little Omori learnt to use the spoon, or how Hinata’s spikes carry more force now. They were living in different worlds, yet somehow they could connect and create a new one, where they both have a place to soar, to grow, to live. It was everything they both ever wanted.

-Thank you for the food. –Y/n said, lightly touching her belly as she felt full. Her lips curved into a satisfied smile, as her gaze was fixated on the man, whose face also reflected just how pleased he must have felt. His smile was bright, as always, his eyes found Y/n’s e/c orbs and a sudden rush of courage ran through his body.

The Sun has already said goodnight, letting the moon take the night shift, accompanied by a few visible stars that ruled the sky together...till morning. The bustling city-noises were audible, as the windows were wide-open, letting the cool air pour into the apartment.

Hinata swiftly grabbed Y/n’s hand and breathed a light peck on it, his lips barely touching the woman’s soft skin. In return her cheeks turned warm, and her eyes were holding so much emotion.

-Thank you for being here. –He said, his voice was much lower than usually, holding a hint of affection in it. Y/n nodded, her glance was shy, when she lifted her gaze, but there was a hint of something, that screamed “kiss me” and Hinata listened to his intuition.

He leaned forward, like a man with purpose, his lips were hot, soft and hungry and Y/n returned his passionate attack with just as much vigour. His hand gently cupped her face as his lips pulled away, his golden eyes were sparkling with mirth. Y/n was blushing furiously as her gaze met with Hinata’s.

-Shoyo...- She breathed out, unsure of what she should say, but Hinata stopped her.

-I’m sorry, if this kiss made you feel uncomfortable. But I’m not sorry for kissing you. Gods, how could I be sorry, when you are the most gorgeous, kindest, most amazing woman in the whole world? Be mine, Y/n, please. –The words were simple, yet they carried determination behind them. Y/n got to learn Hinata’s backstory, about the little boy, who wanted to be on the same playfield as the giants- and he succeded. About the lost teenager in a foreign country, who fought his way through hardships, and became Ninja Shoyo. And now... he was asking for a chance.

-Gladly. –Was her simple reply, but that one word came from the bottom of her heart.

Adam Faulkner-Stanheight NSFW Alphabet

A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex) Let's be honest, you'll be the one giving him aftercare. Adam will truly give you his all when it comes to sex and the poor baby is worn out afterwards, all he needs now is some cuddles and kisses and tell him he did a good job. He deserves the praise.

B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s) Adam likes his hair, he for sure uses hair gel religiously to try and give his hair a little bit of spike on occasion. Adam likes your hands, he loves the way they fit inside his and the way your fingers gentle grasp his hand to let him know you're there for him when he's nervous in public.

C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically) Adam cums ALOT, He's a very messy boy. He likes just like that though, when he gets to cum all over you is like a fucking reward to him. If you really wanna get him going though swallow it, ADAM 404 NOT FOUND.

D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs) He 100% steals your panties to jerk off in later, he loves the feeling of the lace rubbing up and down his cock while he thinks about how your wetness was in these panties just shortly before.

E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?) Adam has bare minimal experience. he has had 1 or 2 experience before you, 1 of which was a blowjob in college and the other which was his first time having actual sex which ended with him cumming almost most instantly and never speaking to that girl again out of embarrassment.

F = Favorite position (this goes without saying) Adam loves for you to ride him, he likes to be on bottom and he loves being able to have some sort of control but also having that feeling of just being your little fuck toy. He will reach up and grab your tits while whining your name or maybe even grab your hips to try and move them faster in hopes that you will smack them away and tell him to behave.

G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.) Adam isn't really either during sex, he gets so lost in the moment all he cares about is you and getting to cum. Afterwards though he will be a giggling mess, cracking jokes, and making sure you smile.

H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.) Adam is shaved down to the point of just have prickles if that makes sense, he just likes to keep things tidy in general, there is no particular reason for it.

I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect) Adam is very intimate, he loves to hold your hand and kiss the top f it and moan out over and over "I- i....Fuck..i love you". He will even g the extra mile for special occasions like anniversaries or birthdays and will light candles and get you some flowers to put on your nightstand.

J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon) Despite being very sexually active with you, Adam still jerks off alot, he just enjoys the feeling of self pleasure and using his own toys on himself.

L = Location (favorite places to do the do) Adam likes to keep your intimate moments private, hence why he chooses the bedroom as his favorite place.

M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going) Ask him to take picture of you, he loves to take them and once they develop keep some in his wallet. He also gets super turned on by you wearing lingerie for him, it makes him feel so special like you did all that just for him.

N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs) Adam doesn't like the idea of a threesome at all, he is actually very insecure and feels like he doesn't deserve you already. So the thought of having to share you with someone just makes him upset.

O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.) Adam will cum in a matter of seconds if you suck him off, he loves the way your tongue swirls around him and when he jerks his hips upward and you push them back down and tell him "Be a good boy now adam and stay still.." As for giving, Adam loves to give though he isn't very experienced in doing so and you'll probably be the first pussy he's ever even eat. Give him a few pointers though and he starts to learn though you will eventually have to push his head away cause he could go for hours he loves it that much.

P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.) Adam actually likes both, sometimes he wants to go slow with you and have a soft intimate moment and just get lost in the way you feel and other times he wants you to absolutely rail him or maybe if he gains the confidence attempt to rail you.

Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.) Adam is 100% down for a quickie, though he's usually at home anyway so the opportunity doesn't really preset it's self all that much.

R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.) Adam is in the middle when it comes to taking risks, he likes to experiment though especially with different kinks.

T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?) Adam loves toys, before he had you that's what he relied on for his pleasure. His favorite for himself is his pocket pussy and his cock rings. He is for sure down to use toys on you too, if you wanna bring a vibrator, strap on, or even plugs into the bedroom he is totally game.

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease) Adam is a little bit to shy to tease a whole lot, just because he gets flustered so easily. However he does like to get you riled up enough that you grab his shirt collar and slam your lips against his then tell him " If you don't stop being such a needy brat tonight, im gonna make sure that ass is red when we get home" Once again....404 ADAM NOT FOUND.

V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.) Adam is very very loud, he is just extremely vocal in the bedroom and he isn't ashamed of it by no means. However, if you are attempting one of those work closet quickies I mentioned before, you're gonna have to cover his mouth because you will get caught same goes for if you have neighbors, you may wanna invest in a ball gag.

W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character) He's 100000000% Bisexual. Yes I'm talking about Lawrence. I too want that doctor dick Adam I support you my boy.......A/N: did i just simp or Lawrence......Mark would be so mad at me rn

Top 10 Sherlock fics by kudos in 2023

Top 10 fics completed in 2023 that garnered the most kudos on AO3. Excluded: chaptered "fics" that are actually collections of standalone ficlets and crossovers that are mostly about the other fandom. Fics that began posting earlier (in some cases, years earlier) obviously have the advantage of more time to rack up kudos. Kudo counts as of 2 Jan 2024.

1. 1,720 kudos: The Case of the Man Who Was Wanted by MyDearLadyDisdain (232K, M, Sherlock/Harry Potter) After an inexplicable case in Surrey, Sherlock is after the strangest criminal he's ever encountered: a mass murderer, that has eluded the authorities for almost 14 years. Unfortunately, Sherlock Holmes is the only one that can see right away that this Harry Potter character is completely innocent. And hang on, is that tea set floating?

2. 1,682 kudos: Shift by stopthat (48K, E, Johnlock) Sherlock is tired. John senses a shift.

3. 1,102 kudos: Ride On by Silvergirl (38K, E, Johnlock) After the disastrous reveal at the Landmark, John tells Sherlock there can be no excuse for what he’s done, and no forgiveness. Sherlock leaves London and starts a new life, and not even the British Government knows where. It’s up to John to track him down and make things right, with a trip around the world and a clue only John would recognize.

4. 851 kudos: Till Death Do Us Part (Not Yet, Not Yet) by Civilized_muppets (8K, T, Johnlock) In which Sherlock and John have been married for years, not that any member of the yard has ever heard of John, much less that Sherlock was married at all, until John is kidnapped from Afghanistan.

5. 797 kudos: The story of the Forgotten Wallet. by Headphones_on_the_Skull (25K, E, Johnlock) Just some dirty Alpha/Omega Johnlock porn.

6. 788 kudos: Nothing to Celebrate by DiscordantWords (30K, M, Johnlock) Sherlock Holmes is back from the dead. Things only get worse from there.

7. 726 kudos: A Tale of Two Soldiers by batslikepastel (14K, T, Johnlock, Jolto, Mystrade) It's Christmas, and Sherlock and John are finally flatmates again after the tumultuous events of the previous year. But a sudden revelation about John's sexuality and James Sholto's unexpected presence throw a wrench into Sherlock's plans, and his jealousy threatens to overwhelm him even as John remains blithely oblivious. Their relationship has reached a turning point, and the ball is in John's court now.

8. 671 kudos: Nightjet by khorazir (22K, M, Johnlock) Officially deceased for eighteen months and still looking for the last remainders of Moriarty’s criminal empire, an exhausted Sherlock boards a night train in Germany to bring him to his next hunting ground. Due to a mishap with the sleeper cars, he is forced to share a compartment with a stranger – who turns out to be not quite as strange as Sherlock thought. The universe isn’t lazy, after all …

9. 646 kudos: Our Love Keeps the Things It Finds by her_ladyships_soap (25K, T, Mystrade) Everyone has a soulmate. Everyone. It's simple human biology. Over the course of every person's life, they develop tattoos of the things their soulmate loves most. Though he has always disliked the concept, Mycroft Holmes is painted from head to toe with dozens of brightly-coloured tattoos. Greg Lestrade, once-firm believer and hopeless romantic, has just nine. They are all quietly sophisticated, sketched in smooth shades of black and grey and easy to hide. Neither of them has gained a tattoo in years. But when they both suddenly find new markings, things finally fall into place.

10. 636 kudos: In Fine Spirits by EventHorizon (189K, M, Mystrade, Johnlock) A very upscale bar/private club needs a bartender and scruffy, punky Greg Lestrade is certain he has the right skills (and needs the job), so walks in to apply in person. He didn't realize that someone else he knew works there, also. Though… 'knew' probably isn't the proper term for a one-night stand where you didn't even learn their name during the fun…

What are your thoughts about the other suitors and how would you rate them on a scale of 1- Jude?

Thanks for the ask, and first let me just say that I think all of the Vil guys are great. There isn’t a single one that I don’t like in some way or another.

Rating them on a scale of 1 - Jude……I guess I’m rating them in terms of how much I see them as LI’s, with Jude being a (10)? I won’t include Vogel because they are so new, but I will say that out of the three, I prefer: Nica, Ring and Darius. In that order.

William: Rating 5: He is such a gentleman to me, and he is sexy as hell. But, he’s simply not my villain. Will is….my bff I get manis done with and confide my life’s problems to. He’s like my psychiatrist? Still, I really appreciate how his lovers desires are important to them and encourages one to express themselves in general. I think that’s important in any relationship.

Harrison: Rating 4 - Harry is my super cool, aloof guy friend that I say hi to as I pass him by in the hall. He is sweet, hot and a total green flag sans the habitual lies, but I think it’s because he’s so green (I feel) that he’s simply not my villain. I love him in events though and how he can be a little mean to the MC. I also got emotional during his second wedding story.

Liam: Rating 6 - Meow meow. Oh my precious baby. Liam is just someone I can connect with emotionally, and he himself is so emotionally intelligent. I love how he can just pick up on things and he is often, as one of my friends who is a MAJOR Liam simp puts it, the voice of reason in the room. I honestly just fell in love with him on the first chapter and not to mention he is warped….I dig warped.

Elbert: Rating 7 - Elle is just…can I please put him in my pocket and protect him? He is so kind, tender and just precious. He doesn’t want to cause anyone pain, and I really love how protective he can be. He is quiet, soft-spoken and mellow. His presence is literally healing, and as greedy as he is, he is just as generous (I feel). Seeing him grow to the point of speaking up and putting his foot down just makes my heart swell.

Alfons: Rating 7 - Ally and I got off on the wrong foot, but I’ve come to love him. He truly cares for the MC in his very own unique way, and he is def the jelly type and I love that in f/o. But his character develops in such a wonderful way. Plus, he is fine asf. I got so emotional during his Wedding part 2 event. He’s won my heart over, so much so, that I am planning to create an OC for him eventually. Hm, maybe I should come to terms with it and bump him up to an 8?

Roger: Rating 4 - He’s a great guy! Still, Roger is very much a big brother to me. He is very insightful, fun, and totally dedicated. I wish I had a big bro like him in my life (I’m the eldest.) We'd go to the pub all the time for steak and ale.

Ellis: Ranking 9: My baby briar thorn. Oh, he is so warped, cute, sweet, selfish and I adore him. Ellis is just a very interesting character because his desires tend to conflict with each other, and as time goes on we see him grow more and more selfish and possessive, and again that is my cup of tea. He is also an extremely hard worker, has life goals and is extremely competent. Plus, I love his relationship dynamics with Harry, Roger and Jude. Seeing Ellis makes me…..happy.

Victor: Ranking 5 - Not because he isn’t mysterious, villainous, caring, silly, a Mary Sue, and drop dead gorgeous, but because I simply don’t know a ton about him. Does he lie and have secrets? Yes. Will he do anything to protect Crown? Sure. I think he has potential to rise in the LI rating department, but I need more information. One thing is for sure. I’m protective as hell over him, especially when it comes to Darius and his dislike of Vivi.

Anyway, I think each of the villains we love just clicks with us. While I was interested in Jude, I don’t think I chose Jude the day I rolled his five star card. I feel like the spiteful fairy chose me…and my wallet has been in the sweetest hell ever since.

I've been thinking about making this kind of post for a while now and things have gotten dire enough that I decided I will

I'm currently behind on rent, utilities, and completely out of food, and out of meds, and I won't get paid until march

And one of the reasons I'm in this situation is that I've been supporting myself and my mom alone for years

And due to many different factors my dad was the only one of my parents making money, so I had to drop out of uni to work, but I don't exactly make a lot

And it was fine for a bit but over the past few years it's been one thing after another, my grandmother died, I developed an autoimmune disease, we had to move to a more expensive place bc of renovations, and more

So I need roughly $822 (with the current conversion rate to my currency) to catch up on rent and utilities and to eat for a month and for my meds so I can actually walk without (much) pain

So, basically, if anyone has any ability to help me not get evicted or starve then I would appreciate it, but the only e-wallets or whatever I have are:

Ko-fi

Payeer: P1128811511

volet.com: 5650 6702 0701

the last one doesn't work with US residents, unfortunately

I know that there are definitely other such posts out there that are probably more 'worthy' for lack of a better term but if anyone can help out then I would be very grateful.

Lams but Alexander is very oblivious

-- 🪦🔫 (guess who)

Pairing: John Laurens x Alexander Hamilton

Time: modern time

Tw: angst,death

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Alex and John were best Friends since the day they first met.

It was a sunny day, in a really hot summer.

John recently had moved to New York with his parents.

He liked it here, but he missed his old friends.

His mom was going grocery shopping, and she took him with her.

He was only eight years old at the time.

They entered a shop, it was pretty tiny.

The aisle were really tiny too and the shelves were full of products.

A men was at the counter.

He didn’t look really kind nor happy to be there.

He later found out that Alex’s dad was a really frustrated and unhappy man.

His mother left his hand to grab some food, the she started talking to an old lady.

So he started exploring the various aisles.

He was in the fridge aisle when he met a boy with short black hair and brown eyes.

He was wearing a green shirt and black bermudas.

<<Who are you?>> asked the boy.

<<I’mJohn.>>

<< I’m Alex.>>

And with that their friendship begun.

He stood next to him through thick and thin.

And with that he started to develop something more than just friendship.

But, still, he couldn’t quite tell if Alex knew or not.

Over the years Alex changed a lot.

Then one sunny day, during another hot summer, Alex told him he was going back to the Caribbean,to open again his mother’s bar.

John always knew that this Alex’s biggest dream.

The day before his flight John brought him a bottle of champagne.

Alex always promised him a bottle a champagne, but now there wasn’t anymore time.

Time isn’t a clement thing, with no one.

So, he knocked at the door, bottle in one hand and wallet in the other one.

<<Coming!>>someone shouted.

His best friend opened the door.

He was disheveled and his checks were red. He also had purple marks on his neck.

“So he had someone tonight”

He mastered his best fake smile and said:

<<I brought you a bottle of champagne.>>

Even if his smile was warm, his tone was colder than the millions of dead stars in the sky.

Because, yes, that was the real day John Laurens died.

<<Thanks,John,uuuhhmmmh. It’s a really sweat gesture.>>

<<Yeah.>>he rolled his eyes.

<<What is it John?>>

<<Nothingreally, I don’t want to steal any more of you precious e time Alex>>

<<Why are you ma?>>

<<I wish I was mad.>>

That was the last thing John said to his best friend, and the man he loved more in the world.

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Alexander regretted a lot of things .

But not stopping John that day, not telling him to stay a bit longer, to give him the chance to say ‘I love you ’.

Now this words didn’t held anymore meaning, since he lost his meaning.

He wanted to say ‘Come with me too’, but those never escaped him lips or mind.

Instead the last thing he felt for John that day was rage and annoyance.

Now he was coming back to New York.

Back to his real home.

John died a few days ago.

He became a police officer and was shot while protecting civils.

He couldn’t look at his parents in the face.

He had been the cause of their son’s biggest pain.

At the cemetery, while his best friend, the man he loved and lost with his stupid actions, laid seven feet in the ground, John’s dad gave him a letter.

It was the last thing John had done, the last thing he gave to the world.

It was a letter, a letter to none other than Alex.

There was written a poetry:

Twas in a street of the City of Lights

Where ’tis always dark, where there’s no air

And winter like summer, there ’tis always winter.

She was on the stairs

Him next to her, her next to him

‘Twas night

And she told him:

Here ’tis dark

There’s no air

Winter like summer, ’tis always winter

God’s sun don’t shine our way

He’s got too much to do where the rich stay

Take me in your arms

Kiss me

Kiss me long

Kiss me

Later, ’twill be too late

Our life, ’tis now

Here we die of everything:

of heat, of cold

We freeze, we suffocate

There’s no air

If you stopped kissing me

I feel I’d die, suffocate

You’re 15, I’m 15

Put together, that’s 30

At 30, we ain’t kids

We’ve the right to work

We’ve that to kiss

Later, ’twill be too late

Our life, ’tis now

Kiss me.

Jacques Prévert, 1946
