waking up next to remus and immediately his arms are around you, pulling you into his chest as you stretch awake. he buries his nose into your temple, inhaling hard as you yawn and sling a leg over his waist.
“morning, rem.” you’re all groggy and a tiny bit grumpy but remus smells like the orange soap you use and the clean cotton of your duvet, so there’s not much to be upset about.
“hi dove,” his hand massages at your hip, kneading the fat there a little.
“how’d you sleep?” you smile, looking up at him as he noses at your jaw.
“like a baby,” your fingers comb through his hair, scratching at the nape of his neck. “kiss?” remus smashes your lips together and pulls away, three more kisses following soon after.
you try rolling away, to get out of bed to get started on your day but remus holds onto your waist.
“remus i need to go brush my teeth.” you squeal as he pulls you so you’re laying on him, legs hooked over each of his hips.
“no, s’the weekend. we can be a little lazy.” you gasp, scandalized at the fact that remus lupin, your early bird boyfriend who doesn’t lay in past seven in the morning, is encouraging a lie in at almost eight o’clock.
“can we? i thought you’d want to make me that fruit salad and heat up the samosas james sent over last night.” remus chuckles at the honey sweetness in your tone, and the way you bat your eyes at him as you brace your hands on his chest.
“no cup of tea?” you roll your eyes, remus’ hand skirts your bum a warning tap planted on it.
“um, coffee?”
remus chuckles, you pout preemptively, already knowing what he’s going to say. “drink the water on the nightstand first and we’ll see, dove.” you’re cuddled up for maybe twenty minutes before remus skips out from under you to start breakfast.

an angels guide: sunday reset routine
hi angels! at the end of a busy and long week you need to prioritise taking care of yourself, your mental health and your space. i like to save sundays to be a ‘me’ day, a day where i indulge in self care, cleaning and preparing myself peacefully for a busy week ahead. resetting your space and self can be an intensive routine (think thirty minute youtube videos of someone deep cleaning their house) or just simple and short (having an early night). this is my more aspirational reset routine, on an ideal sunday i will do all of this but some days i may negotiate and do a little less. hopefully this post inspires you to take care of yourself and your space.

Snippet / microfic / something idk
Aka where Regulus wakes up half drunk on the floor of his brother’s apartment and forgets that the spare bedroom is no longer a spare bedroom
The moonlight has carved out a hollowness into the room when Regulus opens his eyes. There’s music playing, still, for an audience of empty cups and a few toppled chairs and the snoring bodies of his friends on the couch.
Barty is splayed out over Evan, face buried into his neck like he doesn’t need air, but rather, he lives and breathes the boy beneath him. Evan’s hand has planted roots in his skull, twisted into matted hair. Flecks of glitter sprinkle every inch of the boys, a sparkle here and there in their hair, embedded in their skin, their eyelashes and parted lips. They’re a grimy sort of angelic in their blacked-out state, sleep blanketing them in an innocence you’d never find otherwise.
It’s not the first time he’s waken here, stiff back and sour taste in his mouth. He stumbles to the kitchen sink and sticks his head in, letting the water run rivers down his face and neck as he drinks it in gulps. It’s about a full minute of that, and then running his hands over his face for good measure, before he continues his trek to the bathroom, scouring the cabinet for mouthwash and taking a swig straight from the bottle and then swishing it and spitting into the sink, hands gripping the porcelain to hold up his own weight. It’s a wonder he’s been able to stand for this long with exhaustion dragging him down like an anchor tied to his limbs.
He trails behind himself into the hall and then his usual room, hands held out in front of him in the absence of sight. It takes a minute to find the bed. Once he does, he’s unceremoniously tugging back the covers and collapsing onto the mattress, sleep already overtaking him.
He sighs, half in relief and half in pain, pulling up the covers and-
“Well this is new.”
“JESUS FUCKING CHRIST.”
Regulus’s skull collides with the headboard before he can form a cohesive thought.
Sleep has made a hasty retreat, driven out by adrenaline and pure fear. The man in his bed—James, to be specific—instinctively shoots a hand out, clasping onto his arm.
“Shit, are you okay?”
“What the fuck are you doing here!?” Regulus whisper-yells, propped halfway up on his arm with the other hand clutching his head.
“What am I doing in my bed?”
Regulus blinks. Fuck. He forgot this bed actually belonged to someone. Not just someone. Of course, never just someone.
“I… forgot you lived here.”
His eyes have adjusted to the darkness, now. He watches James stare at him, dumbfounded, for a few beats. And then he bursts into a fit of laughter.
Of course the fucker is laughing. It blooms on his face like Spring itself; even here, dimly lit and squinting, it’s blinding. Rays of sunlight cutting through his teeth as he gasps for breath inbetween. Flower and leaf and fruit sprouting from his throat, and Regulus is just too tipsy to avoid the vines coiling around him, his arms and legs and chest, taking root in his own throat, planting seeds in his lungs.
He’s too tired to fight the branches stretching out like hands and pulling at the corners of his own lips, coercing a smaller laugh. He doesn’t even think it’s that funny, maybe James is just delirious. Maybe he’s still a little drunk, too.
“You forgot I lived here. In my room. In my apartment.” James relays, his hysterics reigned in to a splitting grin. Blinding, blinding, still blinding. He’s on his side, head resting in his hand—the other hand is still on Regulus, a light touch burning holes through his clothes, the skin on his shoulder, the muscle and bone marrow, planting more seeds, sprouting more life. He’s staring up at Regulus with sparkling eyes. Who gave him this much joy? Who gave him the idea to direct any of it his way?
Even here, in the middle of the night, waking him up just to shed glitter on his clean sheets and yell at him for existing in his own home.
Regulus doesn’t deserve it. But he can’t find it in himself to deny it right now.
“I may have, uh, passed out in here drunk a few times when you weren’t here last year.”
“A few times?” James asked, eyebrows raised, hand still there.
“Ok. Maybe a lot. Forgot it wasn’t actually mine,” Regulus admits, trying not to shortcircuit from the contact. Trying to relocate the mask of indifference he misplaced after the 3rd or 4th shot. He can just barely feel he’s still smiling, stupidly. He can’t find the right muscles to make it go away.
The analog clock on the dresser across the room reads 3:27 AM in a blue glow. Regulus knows the sensible thing to do now is get up, but the soft arms of sleep are extending from somewhere below, furling around his body and pulling down. The mattress, James’s mattress, might be the softest thing he’s ever laid rest on and it’s enveloping him like quicksand. He lets his head drop forward like dead weight as he musters the strength to move.
“Well don’t let me stop you, then,” James says, amusement and something strangely resembling adoration painted on his face. “I can sleep on the couch, if you want.”
It’s all way too casual for the absolutely absurd offer.
Regulus stares at him in disbelief. “You’re just gonna let me kick you out of your own bed.”
James shrugs, “You look comfy.”
There’s the distant hum of a car engine passing outside, an intermittent clicking sound from the run down heater in the room. The window shade is somewhat transparent, which defeats the whole fucking purpose of the thing, much to Regulus’s annoyance—he’s awoken, against his will to many a sunrise in this room—and a nearby streetlight gently pollutes the darkness, illuminating James from behind in a halo of muted yellow light.
“That’s fucking ridiculous,” Regulus replies, still not moving. James laughs softly. A few daisies sprout in the garden growing between them. “Barty and Evan are on the couch, anyway.”
“I’ll take the floor then.”
“You’re not sleeping on the fucking floor for me.”
“Well I’m more than happy to share, then.”
“You’re not- what?” His bemusement distracts him momentarily from the growing effort of keeping his eyes open. James squeezes his shoulder lightly, the bastard, drawing a small breath from him that he hopes to god goes unheard, before finally drawing back his hand.
“I sleep on the floor or we both sleep here. Your choice.”
“And if I sleep on the floor?”
“I’ll still sleep on the floor out of spite. I don’t think you could get up if you tried, right now, anyway.”
“Oh, fuck you,” Regulus groans. He fully collapses in defeat onto the pillow as he says it, which might take some of the edge out of the remark.
“I really don’t mind the floor, love. Good for the back and all. I’ve got tons of extra pillows and blankets, anyway,” James says, gesturing to the floor next to his bed.
“Just sleep in the god damn bed,” Regulus sighs. He shuffles so he’s on his back, one arm bent over his head rather dramatically, and closes his eyes. He’s fully relented in his battle with his own exhaustion now, and it’s closing in fast.
James doesn’t move for a moment. Regulus can feel his gaze like a beam of sunlight through a magnifying glass. He doesn’t need to open his eyes to smell his own clothes begin to smoke in the wake of it. “Are you sure?” he finally asks, playful tone receding. “I just- I should warn you I’m a bit of an.. active sleeper. And I know you don’t always like people touching you-“
“It’s alright when it’s you.”
It comes out nearly a whisper now as he sinks. He’ll blame it on alcohol or delirium, tomorrow, if he’s not outright denying having said it. He doesn’t actually know why he said it out loud. Regulus usually keeps the truth to himself, as a general rule.
The last thing he hears before falling asleep is James’s small intake of breath, followed by a faint “Oh. Yeah?” and then reality rescinds entirely.

✨My Glow Up tips✨
Drink a lot of water it benefits your body in every way bonus points if you add lemon. If you crave soda Olipop is a good alternative.
Eat little meals made with whole foods throughout the day it really does make a difference.
Go on hot girl walks get fresh air and sunshine every day.
Drink green juices and smoothies it’s the easiest way to get in all your fruits and veggies plus you can add supplements.
Skincare is self care it’s literally the canvas for your makeup so invest in your products. Keep it simple and be consistent with your routine.
Learn to read food labels ideally you want to know how to pronounce every ingredient.
Drink less alcohol bloating and hangovers aren’t hot.
Educate yourself on vitamins and supplements to target what you want to improve. For immune system you want vitamin c and zinc and for beauty you want a collagen supplement.
Lip filler: research your provider make sure you vibe with them and feel comfortable. Start slow and gradually build to your desired shape and size. (not everyone needs filler/botox only if you want it)
Contacts over glasses is my personal preference.
Choose a signature scent for every season.
Keratin hair treatments they make styling so easy and your hair looks shiny and perfect for weeks.
Natural nail colors are the most flattering. OPI and Essie make the best nudes.
Invest in classic basics for your closet black and white t-shirts denim and shoes. Think about cost per wear quality vs quantity ect. Zara is my favorite store for inexpensive trendy pieces.
Wear signature jewelry mine are gold hoops diamond studs and dainty necklaces. Mejuri is my favorite jeweler.
Cleaning and organizing your home is therapy. Light a Fall candle and deep clean your space once a week and you will feel refreshed.
Exfoliate your face and body a few times a week
Ice roll and gua sha your face it instantly de puffs and lifts.
Plant medicine personally I love cannabis and it’s been a positive life changing medicine for me.
Therapy: I believe everyone can benefit from it.
Never stop learning read often about whatever topics you’re interested in.
For improved hair skin and nails put collagen powder in your coffee or smoothies every day.
Put fresh eucalyptus and lavender in your shower or a few drops of essential oils for the best most relaxing bath.
Brush and floss often and occasionally use Crest white strips for whitening your teeth.
Journaling is so important on paper or even in your notes app on your phone.
Learn manifesting techniques your mindset is everything.
Get a professional bra fitting and match your lingerie it will make you feel confident and hot.

once upon a sleepless night
pairing: pham hanni x fem! reader
genre: pure fluff.
warning: mention of mother insomnia and kissing.
SUMMARY: it’s one of those sleepless nights again. you’re restless, mind racing, but hanni, even though she’s exhausted from her long day, decides to tell you a whimsical fairytale to help lull you into dreamland.
Tumblr media
you sighed as you leaned back in your chair, stretching your arms and glancing at the clock on your desk. 9:53 a.m...
“i’ve been at this for four hours straight.. still tired but not sleepy,” you muttered, rubbing your forehead as a persistent ache throbbed. regretting the 7 cups of coffee you’d downed today, you wondered what you could do. you always felt drowsy in class and needed the caffeine to stay awake.
rising from your chair, you decided a break was in order. grabbing your phone and a lollipop from the desk (a sweet gift from your best friend’s sister while you were hanging out), you settled on the couch. you turned on the tv and started scrolling through your phone.
absentmindedly munching on the lollipop, you browsed instagram, checking out the latest posts from newjeans.
**buzz! buzz!!**
a notification popped up, jolting you from your scrolling.
pham honey:
hey there, gorgeous..
the love of my life..
do you need me to bring you anything before i arrive?
your eyes widened in surprise. you paused your lollipop mid-chew, reading hanni’s message over and over.
“wait—what does she mean by 'she’s coming'?” you wondered aloud, trying to recall if she’d mentioned a visit today. nothing came to mind. she’d been swamped with idol commitments, and it had been a month since you last saw her. newjeans had just had their comeback, and they were buried in work—stages, photoshoots, and all the usual idol grind.
and you missed her. a lot.
her hugs, her kisses, her voice, her smile, her playful teasing, her jokes—everything.
you quickly tapped out a response, your excitement evident.
you:
wait you’re coming over? 
omg, you could’ve given me a heads up! 
i didn’t clean my room today 🙂💔 
and all i need right now is 
you ❤️ 
come back soon 
our plants miss you so much 
i mean, our ‘kids’ 
simpsona smith 
and flex armstrong
pham honey:
hehe i wanted to surprise you 🤭 
i’ve got a day off tomorrow
so manager unnie finally gave me the go-ahead to visit you.. yay! 
what did you mean by ‘you need me’ though? 😏 
care to explain? 😜 
and i MISS our ‘kids’ so much 😭 
have they grown up at all? 🥺 
i’m going to shower them with water and love when i get there 🤭
you:
well it’s not a surprise anymore😕
when i said i need you, i meant that i miss you so much, you silly bunny
you’re the only one who completes me
honestly i can't even put into words how much i miss you
could you hurry up a bit
so i can finally give you that big hug?
pretty please 🙏🏻
pham honey:
ooh~ 😏
someone seems extra needy for my affection today huh?
alright i’ll try to walk faster
but be patient, baby.
patience 😉
and...i’m super excited to see you.
i MISSED you too… like a ton?
i’ve been hugging my pillow at night, pretending it’s you ☹️
i can’t wait to shower you with kisses, like SO MANY kisses.
and cuddle you endlessly.
i LOVE YOU so much that it’s hard to even describe.
oh my god why are you so perfect?
you’re unbelievably perfect and i can’t believe you’re MY girlfriend, mine <3
you’re mine
oh god 🤭 i THINK I’M OBSESSED.
seriously baby... marry me 😍
you:
stop texting
and come home quickly
you walk so slowly with your short legs ☹️
and don’t you dare be late
pham honey:
wow. that’s kind of rude!
alright alright 🙄
you couldn’t help but smile as you set your phone down. “why is she so cute...” you murmured to yourself. with a sense of urgency, you mentally chastised yourself. “y/n, clean the room before she arrives!” you told yourself as you stood up, lollipop still clutched between your teeth.
you made your way to your room, determined to tidy up. the bed was reasonably clean but still a little messy. you didn’t want your perfect girlfriend, hanni pham, to see it less than immaculate. she deserved everything to be just as perfect as she was.
while humming contentedly and chewing your lollipop, you changed the bedsheets to fresh ones, making sure everything looked neat and inviting.
after you finished, you glanced at the clock. it was 9:31 p.m.
“when is she coming back...” you wondered aloud as you grabbed another lollipop from your desk, tossing the stick from the previous one into the trash. you stepped out of the room, a chuckle escaping you as you imagined hanni possibly tripping over her own feet. it was amusing but also a bit worrying.
hanni was always unpredictable. like, REALLY unpredictable.
you never knew what kind of delightful mischief she’d get up to next...
and it only made her cuter.
you loved her for it.
you loved her for exactly who she was.
you reached for your phone, which you’d left on the couch earlier. the tv’s soft hum played in the background, a distant noise in your current state of anticipation.
just as you were about to enter the final number of your password—
**ding-dong!!**
the doorbell rang loudly, making you jump slightly. “is that her?” you mumbled, the lollipop still dangling from your mouth.
“probably her,” you mused to yourself.
you made your way to the front door, fingers gripping the doorknob. you took a deep breath, peeking through the peephole to get a glimpse of the visitor.
there she was—standing outside the door, looking absolutely adorable in a hoodie...
wait a second—
IS THAT YOUR HOODIE!?
with a resigned sigh, you thought, “nothing new, she’s swiped my hoodie again…”
but she’s finally here...
why am i so nervous? you wondered, turning back to the door. slowly, you opened it. before you could even get a good look, she leapt into your arms, hugging you like a koala.
“oh my god, hanni, i can’t breathe,” you groaned, feeling her arms tighten around you. “come on, you’re squishing me.” even as you grumbled, you couldn’t deny how much you needed this.
“no way,” she mumbled into your neck. “i’ve waited a whole month to hold you again. baby, i missed you so much, like a person who’s lost something vital and can’t get through the day without it.” you stood there, unable to stop the smile spreading across your face, as you wrapped your arms around her. with your foot, you nudged the door shut and locked it.
“can you let go now?” you asked, making your way into the living room.
“uh-uh,” she shook her head, her nose buried in your scent. “why do you always smell so good?” she asked, pulling back just enough for her eyes to meet yours. she looked both exhausted and exhilarated. “i don’t use much perfume. it must just be my natural scent,” you shrugged, still chewing on your lollipop as you gently tried to pull her off the couch.
“no, don’t pull away!” she protested, pouting and crossing her arms, clearly disappointed. “you can’t just push me away after i’ve missed you so much!”
“you just came in from outside. go wash up first, you might have germs. i can’t risk catching anything—eww,” you teased, a smirk playing on your lips as you settled down on the couch opposite her. she huffed in response, turning her head away with a dramatic sigh. “seriously, how could you be so rude?” she grumbled.
“i’m just being careful, you know. can’t help it if that bruises your ego,” you teased, a smirk playing on your lips. “and let’s talk about the whole stealing thing, shall we?”
“stealing? me?” hanni raised an eyebrow, looking at you like you’d just accused her of some heinous crime. “when did i ever steal?”
you rolled your eyes, finally taking the lollipop stick out of your mouth and licking your lips. “don’t try that innocent act with me, pham. it’s not gonna work.”
she huffed dramatically. “fine! i might’ve borrowed one hoodie…”
“oh, just the one?” you crossed your arms, leaning back with a knowing grin.
“ugh, okay, fine! three hoodies!”
you shook your head, a mock-serious look on your face. “no more cuddles for you—”
“five! okay, five of your hoodies! happy now?”
you chuckled, clearly amused. “now i am. i think i'll call the cops now. imagine the headlines: ‘newjeans’ hanni caught red-handed stealing five hoodies from a fan, scandalizing her career.’”
“oh, shut up!” she pouted, crossing her arms. “i have every right to take your hoodies! i need something that smells like you when i miss you... and i even left one of my favorite hoodies with you, didn’t i?” she tried to sound indignant but it came out more like a whine.
without warning, she launched herself at you, nearly knocking you over. you caught her with a laugh, holding her close as she snuggled against you like a clingy koala.
“seriously, you’re gonna give me a heart attack one day,” you grumbled, though you couldn’t hide the smile on your face as you felt her warm breath against your neck.
“oh, please. you’re the one who was begging me to get here fast so you could hug me,” she retorted, her voice muffled against your shoulder.
you ran your fingers through her hair, a soft laugh escaping your lips. “okay, maybe i was being a little sweet... but i didn’t mean it that much.”
“liar!” she pinched your side playfully, making you yelp.
“ow, hanni!” you whined, trying to pull away, but she tightened her grip around you.
“hmm..” she looked up, her eyes meeting yours, weary and soft. “you look exhausted,” you mumbled, gently rubbing her back in slow, comforting circles. she sighed, cupping your face in her small hands. “i am... really tired... today’s practice was brutal. we recorded a new song today and... oh! you know, dani tried to moonwalk and tripped over her own feet!” she chuckled, her eyes lighting up for a moment. “haerin and i had a dance battle... but she beat me this time. minji was teasing me, as usual... and, oh! by the way, hyein told me to say hi. she misses you.” hanni rambled on, her voice a sweet melody to your ears. you couldn't help but chuckle softly as you brushed a strand of hair behind her ear.
“you’re just too cute, baby... i can’t handle it,” you sighed, feeling a surge of affection wash over you. her cuteness was something that always left you both awestruck and grateful.
sometimes, you wondered what good deed you had done in life to deserve a girlfriend as wonderful as her.
“oh, shut up... i’m not that cute,” she grumbled, hiding her face in your neck, her voice muffled. “i don’t get why you and bunnies find me so adorable... you guys are too much.” she playfully hit your chest, causing you to laugh. you pulled her closer, enjoying the way she felt in your arms. “oh, my hanhan is flustered, i see. did i make you blush? yayyy!”
“l/n y/n, can you shut up... or i’ll kiss you,” she threatened, pulling back with a pout. you smirked, “oh really? but sorry, i'm busy eating my lollipop right now.” you teased, chewing the lollipop with a mischievous grin. she rolled her eyes. “is it weird that i'm jealous of that lollipop? you’re giving it more attention than me—”
“excuse me!? pham hanni, stop being so blunt!” you raised your eyebrows, feigning shock, as she crossed her arms, her expression daring. “can’t help it when you're licking that lollipop like that... it's kinda seductive.”
you felt your cheeks heat up, caught off guard by her words. “y-you're so weird...” you muttered, turning your gaze away. “don't look at me like that, you little freak.”
she chuckled at your flustered state, her fingers gently tilting your chin back toward her. “what look, darling?” she asked, raising an eyebrow, a smirk tugging at her lips. before you could respond, she reached out and popped the lollipop out of your mouth, bringing it close to her own lips. “hey, what the hell? that's mine!” you protested, but she just grinned wider.
“it must be really sweet, the way you were eating it... i want to see if it's as good as it looks...” she murmured, her voice dropping to a low, teasing whisper. your eyes widened in realization. “no! don't! that's gross, i already licked it! a little kid gave me that, and you can't just—”
“who said i was going to taste it from here?” she interrupted with a chuckle, her voice sultry and suggestive.
you froze, narrowing your eyes, trying to process her words. then it hit you.
“pham hanni, don’t you dare—”
before you could finish, she leaned in, capturing your lips with hers in a kiss that felt like she had been waiting forever for this moment.
her lips moved against yours with a hunger and intensity that left you breathless, her hands tangling in your hair as she deepened the kiss, leaving your lips swollen and red, and a few love bites on your neck as souvenirs.
just your average pham hanni behavior...
Tumblr media
“baby, you're not sleeping?” you snapped out of your thoughts as you looked up from your notebook. you stopped writing and saw hanni lifting her head up from the bed. her hair was a bit messy, her eyes half-open, wearing one of your pajamas, looking absolutely adorable.
“ah.. i just have a few things to finish, my sweet bunny. did the lamp wake you up? sorry, i'll turn it away a bit..” you smiled, adjusting the light so it wouldn't bother her. hanni sat up with a sigh, rubbing her eyes. “what do you mean by 'a few things'? it's 2 a.m... you should be in bed too...” she yawned, clearly still half-asleep.
“can't sleep...” you admitted with a small, nervous laugh, turning your chair to face her. “did you have a nightmare or something? do you want me to cuddle you again?” you asked, getting up and moving towards her side of the bed. she reached out, grabbing your shirt sleeve and pulling you closer, wrapping her arms around your waist. “no, you're the one who should be sleeping...” she mumbled, her voice still heavy with exhaustion.
“you didn’t get much rest last night, and now you’re up again... working through the night like an owl or something,” she huffed, pressing her face against your stomach. you chuckled, patting her back gently. “baby, i can’t help it... even when i’m dead tired, i just can’t seem to fall asleep, no matter what i do...” you admitted, watching as her eyes widened slightly.
“has this been happening a lot lately?” she asked, concern evident in her tone. you nodded. she sighed, “sounds like insomnia... you’ve got insomnia, babe.”
“yeah, you could say that... but don’t sweat it.” you shrugged, rubbing the back of your neck. she scoffed, “don’t sweat it? do you even know how bad insomnia is?! it makes you tired... *yawn*... gives you poor concentration, mood swings, and increased stress or anxiety... it’s sooo bad. it can lead to health problems like heart disease, high blood pressure, and even accidents due to drowsiness...”
“oh... you’re making it sound like a big deal...” you laughed nervously, your hand gently caressing her back. "it is!” hanni insisted.
“we need to fix this.. chamomile tea, meditation, melatonin…” her voice trailed off as sleepiness tugged at her again. despite her best efforts to stay awake and worried for you, she was clearly still exhausted. all she could think about was making you chamomile tea in the morning or finding a meditation video on youtube to help you relax.
“you’re still so tired...” you tilted your head, observing her. “yes, but you’re even more tired than i am... so get in.” she sighed, letting go of your waist and scooting over to make room. “huh, what?”
“get in bed, dumbass,” she said, snuggling back under the blanket and patting the space next to her.
“uh... okay, let me just turn off the lamp...” you murmured, reaching over to turn off the light before climbing into bed beside her.
Tumblr media
you groaned as you turned to the other side... it's been an hour now, and you still can't fall asleep. beside you, hanni was fast asleep again, clearly exhausted from her long day. you could hear the soft sounds of her breathing, occasionally mumbling something in her sleep and pulling you closer, snuggling against you.
“god... why the hell can't i sleep... i'm too tired to deal with this,” you sighed, rubbing your neck and opening your eyes. “i can't just lie here doing nothing... maybe i should get up and read a book in the living room, don’t want to wake my tired baby again...” you thought, carefully trying to get up. but as you moved, you realized hanni’s arm was still draped over you, holding you tight.
you blinked. “she's asleep... i’ll just move her hand aside... she's too sleepy to notice,” you thought as you slowly began to lift her arm off your shoulder. but you failed, accidentally jostling her awake.
“y/n-ah, what are you doing...” she murmured sleepily, her voice groggy with fatigue. you closed your eyes, silently cursing yourself for waking her up again. “uh, i need to pee...” you blurted out nervously, trying to come up with an excuse.
“huh... you've been to the bathroom like four times already... do you have diabetes too or something?” she muttered, slowly opening her eyes. “oh god, why did you give my baby all these problems...” she sighed, shaking her head.
you blinked in surprise. “no! i don't have diabetes! what the hell...” you exclaimed, and she chuckled softly. “then why do you keep running to the bathroom, huh?”
“okay, fine... i lied. i just... can’t sleep,” you admitted with a sigh, dropping your head back onto the pillow. “can’t sleep?” she whispered, pulling you closer. you nodded, feeling her warm breath on your neck. she sighed gently. “is there anything i can do to help you? do you want me to make you some chamomile tea, baby?” she offered, her voice filled with concern despite her own exhaustion.
“no, you should sleep,” you insisted, shaking your head. “but i can't sleep peacefully when you're struggling to sleep, baby. you're going to be exhausted tomorrow, and that's not good... just tell me if there's something i can do. i’m not going back to sleep if you don’t...” she said, softly caressing your cheek.
“i don’t know... but your voice calms me a lot... if you don’t mind... could you tell me a story?” you asked, snuggling closer to her. she hummed softly, her fingers gently brushing through your hair. “you want me to tell you a story... like a fairytale or something?” she asked quietly. you nodded against her shoulder.
“let me think of one, baby...” she whispered, pressing a soft kiss to your forehead as she continued to stroke your hair. “hmmm... i remember one that my grandma used to tell me when i was little...” she said, and you looked up at her, a small smile tugging at your lips.
“close your eyes and just listen, okay? don’t think about anything else, just listen. it’ll help you fall asleep...” she murmured, placing gentle kisses on each of your eyelids, making you feel even calmer.
“okay, baby. i'll just listen,” you mumbled, closing your eyes. she chuckled softly, pulling you even closer. “that’s my baby,” she whispered, her voice soothing as she began her story.
“once upon a time,” she began, her fingers gently threading through your hair, “there was a princess.”
hanni closed her eyes, letting her imagination bring the story to life as she spoke, her voice a soft, soothing hum that blended with the quiet of the night.
“this princess lived in a beautiful kingdom, where everything seemed perfect and peaceful. but despite all the beauty around her, the princess felt a deep unhappiness inside.”
“why was she unhappy?” you asked, curiosity getting the better of you.
“babe, you said you wouldn't talk,” hanni teased, pausing her hand in your hair for a moment before continuing. “but well, the princess was unhappy because, although she had everything she could ever wish for, she was lonely. she had a kingdom and all the luxuries one could imagine, but she had no one to truly share them with, no one who genuinely cared for her.”
“she had her parents, of course," hanni went on, her fingers resuming their gentle, calming motion through your hair. “but it wasn't the kind of connection she was yearning for.”
she paused, her voice her voice dropping to a softer, more intimate tone.
"then, one day, the princess met a knight..."
"the knight came into her life like a breath of fresh air..." hanni murmured, her voice soft and dreamlike. "he was unlike any other man in the kingdom.. he wasn't interested in her wealth or her title.. he treated her with kindness and respect.. not as a princess, but as a person.."
hanni smiled at the thought of the knight, her fingers tracing lightly along your jaw.
“the princess was captivated by this new person in her life...” she continued in a whisper, her touch tender and affectionate. “she found herself drawn to him in ways she couldn't explain.. maybe it was his courage, his loyalty, or just the way he saw her for who she truly was...”
“as time went on, the princess and the knight grew closer...” hanni said, her voice now a soft murmur, almost like a lullaby. “they spent time together, sharing their thoughts and dreams.. learning more about each other with every passing day...”
her hand moved gently down to rest on your chest, feeling the steady rhythm of your heartbeat.
"as they got to know each other, the princess realized she was falling in love with the knight.." hanni whispered, her hand drifting down to rest lightly on your stomach. "he was everything she had ever dreamed of and more.. and to her surprise and delight, she discovered that he felt the same way about her.."
"time passed, and their love only grew stronger.." hanni continued, her soft, melodic voice drawing you deeper into a state of calm and peace.
"they were blissfully happy, cherishing every moment they could spend together.." she murmured, her fingers gently tracing along your skin, soothing you further.
"but the princess' parents... they didn't approve of their love.. they had other plans for her.. they wanted her to marry someone of higher rank.. someone who could bring more power and wealth to the kingdom.."
"they forbade their relationship.." hanni said, her voice tinged with a note of sorrow. "they wanted the princess to marry a suitor who would benefit the kingdom politically, not a humble knight.."
"the knight and the princess were heartbroken.." hanni whispered, her hand stilling for a moment on your hip. "they tried to reason with her parents, but it was in vain.. her parents were determined to marry her off to someone else.."
"but the knight knew he couldn't just give up.." hanni continued, her voice firmer now, filled with quiet determination. "he didn't care about status or wealth.. he loved the princess, and he was resolved to find a way to be with her.."
“so he went to the king and boldly asked for the princess's hand in marriage.. the king was furious and refused, but seeing the knight's determination, he set a challenge.. if the knight could complete three impossible tasks, then he could marry the princess,” hanni explained.
as hanni continued the story, her voice calm and soothing, you began to feel drowsy.. her storytelling was comforting, her gentle caresses on your hair making your eyelids feel heavy.
"the knight, with the unicorn's horn in his possession, presented himself before the king, having completed all three tasks.." hanni murmured, her hand now tracing soft patterns on your arm. "seeing that the knight had succeeded, the king had no choice but to honor his promise and allow the knight to marry the princess.."
"and then they live happily ever after...." you mumbled sleepily, a small smile tugging at your lips.
hanni chuckled at your sleepy comment, her hand continuing to gently run through your hair.
"yes... it's a classic fairy tale.. the knight overcomes all obstacles, wins the princess's heart, and they live happily ever after.." she whispered, her voice carrying a hint of playful amusement.
“thank you... han... for the story and for everything... i love you... so much...” you sighed, feeling yourself drifting off, the world fading away.
“anytime, my love... good night.. sweet dreams, and remember to dream of me, okay?"
Tumblr media
a/n: i really enjoyed writing this, and i hope it brought you some joy too. thanks so much for reading, and have a wonderful day or night! :)) (i need a hanni fr...)

Halfa Cass Chapter 7 part 1/2
Masterpost
“I see,” said Alfie, hands full of breakfast dishes. “When can I expect you to return home, Miss Cassandra?” Calm. Composed. She followed at his back with the empty water and juice pitchers.
She hummed, doing math in her head. 90 minutes on a fast bike, unknown time there, 90 minutes back. “Dinner?” Cass guessed. “Will message again at 3 with updated estimate.” She put the pitchers down beside the sink silently.
Alfie gave a brisk nod at that sensible plan. Approval. “Very well, Miss. Please drive carefully.” He paused. “And do not forget hydration and your sunscreen.”
“Love you too,” she said, and went to put on the sunscreen. Then she was a whirlwind to get ready. Athletic undersuit, first. Pullover mask in the back, a long hood design that hooked back in on itself. Convenient! Gloves in black jeans pockets. Ankle boots, good for kicking and for driving. 
Cass put her flying suit in her student backpack and put her hands on her hips. She looked around. Room? Clean enough. Equipment? Packed. Reasonable projection of needs? Cass crinkled up her brow and made her best judgment. Probably minimal. Combat not expected, companion powerful. 
“Jacket,” Cass muttered to herself, sudden realization! She darted across the house to get it. The green jacket was important. It was a talisman. It was representative. It was a civilian flying suit that reminded her she was powerful and beautiful. 
When she had it on, she went back for her student back bag and then left from the upper level garage. Black bike, nondescript. Mid range price. 
Cass paused astride the bike, feet firmly planted on either side on the crunchy white gravel of their long driveway. She unzipped the front left pocket and withdrew her phone. To Marvel, she said,
🦇 🏍️ ⬆️ == 1.5 h ⌚ 
Then she opened a new message to Batdad. She didn’t want him to worry. So she said,
💕 👋🏼  🏍️ 
The last person to get a message was Stephanie, who was not flying because she was still in medical schooling. Cass sent,
Tumblr media
Just because it was funny. It would make Stephanie laugh.
Then she was off.
Cass pulled her black bat hood down when she found the right area. It was day. Many stares that she loftily ignored. The meeting spot wasn’t Gotham or Fawcett. The laughing magician was in dingy small town, smoking and drinking. Captain Marvel found him first and hauled him out, friendly arm over shoulder. Cass crouched on the roof of nextdoor building to silently peer down, batting a little for the comfort factor of bat things. He was still big-man Marvel-lie, but with new clothes. Happy face with torn jeans and t-shirt. She squinted. Same Marvel shoes. Hmm. No budget, Cass decided. If any budget, better shoes.
Constantine blinked up at Captain Marvel, dazed from alcohol but interested in big handsome man. “Where are you taking me, prettyboy?” He slurred. He was a mess. He reached up and cupped Marvel’s face.
Cass moved. 
Constantine noticed her rapid approach and stumbled upright. Eyes sharp, intelligent. Then: dismay. “Fuck,” he said. Very unhappy. Genuine dislike. “A bat. Which one are you?” Disdain. 
Cass frowned. “Hands off,” she demanded. She crossed her arms. “He’s baby.”
“What?” Marvel said, sounding distressed. Ah. He didn’t know that she knew.
“Really?” Constantine said, wrinkling his face up and looking between her and Marvel pointedly. Because he was a foolish little man who didn’t understand facts that walked into his life. “A nightmare like you pulled this bloke? Fuck my life.”
Yes. A nightmare. Your nightmare.
Cass stretched her mask mouth wider so the teeth would stretch and pull even bigger. She leered at him with all her scariness. He looked like he wished she would leave. Wondered if he made good decision. Regret. Regret. I run my big damn mouth.
“Hey!” Marvel rallied, totally missing the body language interplay. “She’s not a nightmare! Black Bat is very kind and smart.” He put his hands on his hips, which happily meant he had to stop supporting middle-aged wizard weight.
Constantine said some curses under his voice that she didn’t know. He fished around in his pocket and pulled out a packet of cigarettes. The rattling from inside told Cass: three cigarettes. No metal, no secret hidden weapon unless it closely resembled cigarette shape. Maintain wariness. He lit it on fire with his fingers.
What? No lighter? Cass saw no lighter.
While Cass was busy frowning about that the wizard turned on his heel. “Toodles,” he said, and then Marvel grabbed him. 
“Wait! We need your professional help.”
“Do I look like I’m working?” Grungy wizard demanded. He waved a hand up and down his body, showing off his sleeveless tank top and tight pants. 
“Yes.” Black Bat took a couple steps closer. She knew this. “You were working. You’re not so intoxicated. You were running a scam for funding. You need money?” She kept anything out of her tone that could sound like judgment, leaving it cold and empty. No-nonsense. “I pay for consultation.”
Grungy wizard paused, looking her up and down. He took a drag on his cigarette. Stinky wizard. He blew it out at Marvel, RUDE wizard. “Really?” He was dubious. “Where’s the catch?” Stinky wizard scrunkled his face at her. “Usually it’s all ‘you owe it to the world, it’s for the good of humanity, don’t you have any decency?” with you people.
Cass rolled her eyes. “Can we cut the-” her eyes darted to Marvel. “Bullshit?” she finished, because it was the right word even if there were little ears present. “One thousand dollars American.”
Captain Marvel looked at her, eyes wide. Shocked. Envy. Small.
Oh. She hid her sudden bad feeling. 
“...Make it one and a half thousand, Bird, that’s a love,” oozed the Stinky Wizardman. He didn’t expect, but-
“Fine.” Cass said briskly. She didn’t want to spend a lot of time on money. She pulled out her wallet and withdrew one hundred dollar bills until she had 15. The Wizard cursed jealousy and ran a hand through his hair. Marvel was fascinated. Hmm. She held it out.
The wizard wanted it. He looked. He really wanted it. But: wary. No trust. Can’t trust a bat.
She let out a disgusted sigh. Black Bat shook the bills at him impatiently. “My Black Bat fund,” she said, in a tone that meant ‘do you have a brain that thinks thoughts?’ She continued, “For my use in-suit. Obviously real money. Obviously non-consecutive legal tender.” Duh.
“Okie Dokie!” Marvel said cheerfully. “We’re back on track.”
The wizard snatched it and stuffed it in his back pocket, hungry dog, don’t take it from me, I need it. “Let’s not talk here. I have a hotel room.” 
‘Did the stinkyman invite Marvel-baby to his hotel?’
Cass cut the wizard a death look.
He coughed and avoided looking at her. 
That was a yes. “You’re a bad judge of people,” she told the wizard, voice full of disdain. “Yes. Let’s go.” She pointedly moved in between him and Marvel-baby.

mean dom! luke castellan x whiny sub! afab reader
SMUT. MDNI
i’m taking requests btw <3
lowercase intended
warnings- SMUT ofc. mean luke. sub reader. female reader body described. all characters are 18+ cum mentioned. oral ( male receiving). spit play. degradation. pet names used ( little girl, slut, baby, sir)
what started as an innocent picnic with luke by the strawberry field quickly turned into a noisy fuck in his empty cabin while everyone was at the evening bonfire. something as simple as the way ur plush lips wrapped around the red strawberries and stained your lips a light color. the noises you made when it was oh so sweet sent pleasure right to his pants.
now you were being pushed against the wall of his cabin, his hand wrapped around your neck and his tongue passionately in your mouth, licking around and intertwining with yours. his thigh pushed in between your legs. you tried to keep up with his fast pace but he was just so eager. your small moans made luke groan and left his cock eagerly twitching. he had to pull back in worry that he might cum right now untouched. you whines at the loss of contact.
“mmm luke please. please kiss me. i need you badly.”
“aw my little girl is so eager for me, huh baby? want me to make you feel good? yeah?”
you nodded, wide doe eyes looking at him so innocently.
he pulled your hand and guided you towards his bed. you straddled his lap after he sat down and wrapped your arms around his neck, fiercely kissing him. you sucked his tongue and moaned at the feeling of his own spit mixing with yours. with a groan, he pulled back and grabbed your chin to make you look at him.
“you want something else to suck on?” you nodded eagerly and started getting off his lap and firmly planting onto your knees in front of him. before you could begin unzipping his pants, he firmly grabbed your hands.
“aren’t you forgetting something?”
you looked up at him and opened your mouth. he pulled your chin up, gathered his spit and let it fall into your mouth. you moaned, closing your mouth to swallow and opened it again to show you did. “ thank you sir.”
he released your chin and let you resume your attack onto his zipper. you pulled the zipper and unbuttoned, as he lifted his hips to help you pull it down far enough. your hands were jittery from the excitement and you were left fumbling and pawing at his cock. and of course luke noticed.
“my little slut is so anxious. so cute,” he mocked, with a smile on his face.
you finally pulled out his pretty pink cock. the tip was flush and leaking his milky precum. your mouth watered, filling with your salty saliva. it looked so good that you let out a small whimper. you finally left small kisses up and down his shaft while he grew impatient. your mouth wrapped around his pink tip and suckled, cleaning his tip and slit from the leaking pre. he let out groans and tried to keep his hips from bucking and forcing his cock into your mouth. you pushed your mouth down, wrapping your hands around the base and what couldn’t fit in your mouth and sucked hard.
luke groaned. “ oh fuck that’s it. your mouth is so good. my good girl yeah. you’re a good slut. just my perfect cock sleeve. so warm. yeah” he continued to his and fiercely breath in between his clenched teeth.
you keened at the praise. your doe eyes and long lashes batting up at him. he groaned at how his innocent perfect girl just looked so good where she belonged. on her knees right in front of him. but you were moving too slow. he grasped your head and began to fiercely thrust into your throat. you choked and gagged at the sudden pace and had saliva spilling out of your mouth.
“yeah that’s right. take it you slut. ta-take my cock you stupid fucking slut. this is all you’re good for. yeahh. fuckkk nghh”
with 3 more thrusts, you could taste the salty cum pouring down your throat, your vision of luke taken up by the jiggling salty lenses of water.
he laid there groaning and hips twitching before he pulled his softening cock from your warm throat.
“you okay baby?” he asked with a soft tone.
you let out a soft mhm, throat still tender from his rough fucking.
“cmere. you were so perfect for me baby girl,” he said while he leaned down and left a small kiss on your forehead while you closed your eyes and let out a soft noise of appreciation.
thank you for reading ! pls send requests!!! <3

Excessive Force : Tom Ludlow x Fem Nurse Reader (COLLAB W/ THE INCREDIBLE @johnwickb1tsch) - Chapter Map Twenty-Four
Tumblr media
TW: NSFW, inappropriate use of handcuffs, angst
Tom picks you up from your shift, and you ride in silence. The uncomfortable, we need to talk, prickly silence that has your bones feeling weirdly placed and your teeth achy with unsaid words. His mouth and your mouth combined? Quiet between the two? Strange. You both know something’s up. Maybe even more than one something. 
When you get into your place, he goes to use the restroom, and you meander around cleaning a little bit—putting some dishes away and rearranging your coat rack and making sure your recently neglected plants aren’t dying dry deaths. 
“Sorry, guys,” you whisper, filling them up and eyeing the leaves for any browning spots, spraying the orchids’ tangled roots with water and a little plant food. You pause at the dark purple orchid from Julian, realizing there’s still a smear of your dried blood on the pot. Roses love to eat blood and bone. You’re not so sure about orchids. It’s hard not to think of Julian, when you look at the beautiful plant, but you can’t quite bring yourself to get rid of it yet. It’s not the orchid’s fault, after all.  
“You just keep getting cuter,” Tom says, smirking from the kitchen doorway. 
“They’re living things,” you reply, sticking your tongue out. 
“You know, I worked a case once where a lady had a lot of plants.”
You shoot him a raised brow. “Was she poisoning someone with one?”
He chuckles and shakes his head, that fast growing, uncut dark shag probably due for a haircut soon. Shame, you kinda like it a little longer. “See, it just makes me even more suspicious that you know that.” 
“Am I a suspect now, Officer Ludlow?” You ask, batting your eyelashes at him.
“Easy, Poison Ivy, don’t make me get the cuffs.” 
“Poison Ivy, really?” 
He shrugs. “What? She’s hot. You’re hot. You both love plants. Got that fiery temper.” Wink.
“And you’re what, Batman?” You crinkle your nose at the comparison. Bruce Wayne ain’t got nothin on Tom Ludlow. Plus, you were never a big fan. Now, Punisher, he’s someone you can admire.
“No. I’m a side character. Poison Ivy’s boyfriend.” 
Do not engage. Do not interact. Do not make eye contact. Did he just call himself… You haven’t had a boyfriend in what, years? Tom Ludlow? Boyfriend? Dating? Your brain might be short circuiting, a rattling tool box of metal getting zapped with a cattle prod, and you stand there, frozen, looking dumb for a good minute until you can compartmentalize and rationalize. 
Tom Ludlow hasn’t really left since that first night you invited him in. His clothes are in your dirty laundry, his shoes are sitting next to yours on the entryway rug, making your sneakers look like kids shoes in comparison, his amazing smell is on everything, his indent is on your bed. He’s just settled himself right in here, and you didn’t even notice. 
“What’s a throw down?” You ask, stupidly, suddenly, not sure why you pick that moment to inquire about this. 
To your credit, it does take him off guard and make him forget about the whole boyfriend thing… For now. “It’s a gun dirty cops carry. Something to throw away in case they shoot someone...unlawfully.”
“Is that…what you have on your ankle?” 
His frown is like a thunderhead, and he probably would have started yelling, if not for how tiny your voice sounded, and the big-eyed bunny look on your face. “No, baby. That’s my backup. In case I lose my other gun. Which, I have. Why are you asking me this?” 
Oh fuck, this was a bad, bad decision. Maybe you should mention the dating conversation again? You turn to face him, trying to seem less suspicious and probably just ranking yourself even higher on his list of suspects. “Brixton, that guy that interviewed me, said you fired it in the store.” 
Nice save—never mind, looks like you’ve personally signed Brixton’s death certificate yourself. You jump in to appease that hostile look curtaining over his face. “It's just..I feel like there’s something up, Tom. Something you’re not telling me?”
You’re such a hypocrite. 
“What does that have to do with my backup?” He asks, great fucking detective that he is, and you’re caught like a rabbit in a metal fox trap, ready to gnaw off its own leg just to get free. And maybe, judging by that suspicious look on his face, you should start digging in sooner rather than later.
“I don’t know, Tom.” You throw your hands in the air, maybe a little too dramatically. “I’m just trying to piece this whole thing together, y'know? And if you’re not telling me anything, how can I do that? I saw his face—the man who attempted to murder a cop in cold blood—and I’m scared.” None of that was particularly a lie, but you still feel bad for freaking out on him. 
You feel even worse, when his standoffish attitude melts immediately for you. “Shit. I’m sorry, baby, come here,” he says, holding out his arms to you. 
Once upon a time, with anyone else, you would be an ornery shit and refuse the respective olive branch. But with Tom…you melt too, and before you know it you’ve crossed the tiny kitchen to fill his arms. 
“You’ve taken this whole thing like such a champ, I fucking forget you’re not used to getting shot at,” he says to the top of your head. “M’sorry, baby. I’m working on figuring this all out. I promise you. I’ve got some leads. I gotta find a guy…” He shuts himself up out of habit, not used to sharing details of an ongoing investigation with a civilian. But then he seems to think better of it, considering you’re right in the fucking middle of it too. “I gotta find this guy who might know the shooters. I’m waiting on a call. Got a lead through an inmate in County.”
“Why would an inmate help you?” you mumble into the solid plane of his chest. 
“Because I put him there, and he’s not gettin’ out unless he gets me that name.”
You blink at that, craning your neck to look up at him. “Is that legal?” 
He looks down at you with that Come on look that makes you feel more than a little foolish. 
“Oh.”
You feel the rumble of his amusement from deep in his chest, more than hear it. 
“Is that…always how you really get things done?” you ask, at risk of being made to feel even dumber. “Like, are the official channels really that useless?”
“Pretty much, sweetheart. Learned it the hard way a long time ago. Too many bureaucrats in the LAPD. Not enough people actually willing to get the job done.”
With a long sigh you nod, utterly reluctant to vacate the depression between his pecs. You’re pretty sure it was made just for your head. 
You guess you're about to embark on some back channels of your own to keep him out of trouble. The thought of what Julian might have in store for you makes a shudder of revilement run through you. Tom cranes back to study you, those hawkish eyes narrowed. He knows something’s up. He’s too smart, and you can’t fathom how you’re going to trick him, even if it is for his own good.
You suppose your best bet is distracting him–so you stand on tip toe, and press your lips to his. 
***
He just will not drop it.
He drives you absolutely wild. To the edge of your sanity. To the brink of death. 
This man’s tongue should be considered a lethal weapon. It’s an absolute menace. 
It’s the best thing you’ve ever felt, yet you can’t help but think to yourself, this is how you die.
“Tom…” you beg. “It’s too much!”
You would have even tried to get up, to get away, to flee, you’re that desperate, but he’s been holding you down with those big beautiful hands, and you are just a quivering mess of a woman at his mercy. Plus, he’s got you cuffed to the post of your bed.
“You can cum anytime you want, sweet girl,” he tells you. “You know what I want to hear.”
“This is…interrogation…under duress.”
“Oooo, someone’s been studying up.”
“Hey, I know…stuff.”
He’s changed tactics, making slow, soft circles with his tongue, just shy of where you need him most. The keening whine it tears from your hoarse throat makes him chuckle against you; a deep, bone-melting sound that you think Satan could take some notes from. 
“You know what I want to hear.”
I’m yours.
“Torturing me into saying it won’t make it true.”
“I already know it’s true, sweetheart. Just want to hear you say it.”
You whimper, your head thrown back into the pillows. So keyed up yet exhausted, too stubborn for your own good. You sense Tom looking up at you, his cheek resting on the soft pillow of your inner thigh. 
“Scare you that much, baby?”
You have to try twice before you can find your voice, suddenly feeling like you downed a fat gulp of Mojave sand. “You don’t understand.”
“Then tell me.”
“Now?”
“No time like the present.”
He climbs your body, and you are relieved until he sheathes himself inside you, just like that, like this is the place where he belongs. You desperately try to grind against him, knowing you are so close to the edge, but he just pins you with his thick cock kissing your cervix and his elbows on either side of you. 
He kisses your forehead, and its all so tender you could cry.
“You know you’re safe with me?”
“I know.” You mean it, too, even if you sound pitiful.
He sweeps your hair from your face with gentle fingers, looking down at you with a little smile that wrecks your heart. It simply was not fair.
“Then tell me what’s going on.” You’re not sure if he means your neuroses in general, or your earlier almost-slip, or…who knows? Discussing any and all of it aloud terrifies you. Your mouth opens and closes like a fish out of water. Finally, you just frown, and fall back on your favorite word of all time.
“No.”
Miraculously, he doesn’t get mad, like every other man you’ve ever known would have. He just seems to think you’re cute. “You know what?” He muses, tracing your collarbones and making you shiver, “I think,” he follows the dip of your skin, down between your breasts, then under, slow and soft, over your rib cage as you make little strangled gasps, attempting unsuccessfully to writhe—get him frustrated enough to move. “I think you like it when I tease all your worries away.” 
Why does that infuriate you even more? “This isn’t teasing.” Your whining delights him and humiliates you. “This is tortu-ah.” 
He has your pert right nipple tugged between two fingers, rolling the sensitive flesh against rough calluses. The sensation swells into your pussy, and she clenches, exacting her own form of vengeance on Tom, for once on the same side as you—the cum or die side. 
A breath of air hisses from between his teeth, and you grin up at him in triumph. Sure, you’re the one handcuffed to the bed being edged out of your mind, but you know underneath all that cool, collected facade this affects him just as much as it does you. 
“You haven’t seen torture yet.” He says, his smile turning malicious.
“What?” You pant. “Can’t help it that my pussy loves your cock so much, baby.”
He turns peach again, skin absolutely betraying his attitude, and you let loose a sharp giggle that turns to a groaning snarl when he pumps inside of you, slow, not enough. The rhythm he adopts after a minute or two of equally frustrating practice is made for your destruction; more frustrating than just holding him inside, unmoving. 
That languid squelching rub, the slow strokes that make your cunt flood and fatten with plentiful cum, yield to and accommodate its bulky visitor like a good little host should—all of it gets both of you gnashing your teeth and growling like beasts.
In this feral, viscous slide of your bodies, Tom takes your mouth instead of talking, teeth and tongue and spit. None of it would be pretty from an onlooker's perspective, you think, as he swallows the bottom of your face into his big jaws, but fuck, it’s just what you need from him while he works your cunt to a slow, brutal end. 
La petite mort, your brain thinks, surfacing from the sluggish black haze for a moment before you lose it entirely again to a violent, slow orgasm on just his cock. You barely feel the scratchy tickle of his stubble as he buries his face into your neck, biting and licking at your collar, and ending right along with you. 
“Trickster,” he mumbles, hips twitching in finality, length already softening and settling inside you. 
“Who me?” You giggle. 
“Minx,” he growls. 
“Never,” you tease. 
“One of these days I’m gonna get you to say it baby. Might as well just get it over with.” 
“Say what?” You ask, now just trying to piss him off. 
He nibbles the skin of your neck, and you giggle-flinch away. 
“I have to tickle you?” He asks. 
“Swear to God, Tom, I will kill you.” Then, you pout. “These cuffs are kinda uncomfy.” 
He sighs and unlocks you from your metal, cold bondage, then rubs the blood and warmth back into your wrists. “Can I ask you something?” 
You flick your head at him, curious, and push the sweaty hair from his forehead. “Yeah, of course.”
“Will you take a little vacation with me? After I’m done with this case? I’d like to take you somewhere. Just us. Anywhere you want. Beach, mountains. I know we’re already right next to the beach, but maybe one with calmer water? They have some nice little bungalows in Florida.” He’s cute, when he’s all rambling and shy and flustered. 
You lean up to kiss him, halting his nerves. “Yeah, I will.” 
“Really?” He asks, grin big and goofy and only missing a long tongue hanging from the side. 
He makes you laugh. The dichotomy of this man. God, you want to eat him. “Yeah. I have unused vacation time anyway. As long as you promise not to secretly be a serial killer.” 
He snorts, probably thinking of the same image that you are: Bull-in-a-china-shop, brutish, forceful, loud Tom trying to be sneaky and malicious in any capacity? It’s just not believable. What you see is what you get with this long, bronze man currently walking butt ass naked to the bathroom and retrieving a damp, warm towel for you to clean up with. 
***
“So, where do you wanna go?” He asks, once you're settled in his arms with the blanket wrapping you up. You think it’s just way too adorable, how he fusses over you. Pushes your hair back from your face, makes sure you’re adjusted and comfortable, makes sure your toes are covered, kisses your forehead. 
“I’ve never been to the mountains,” you suggest, nuzzling your face into his chest and inhaling, trying to memorize him—this moment. 
“Mountains it is,” he grins. “We’ll go hiking.” 
“Do you think we’ll see woodland critters?” You ask hopefully. 
“Don’t worry,” he soothes, “I’ll protect you.”
You laugh into his skin. “Tom, I want to see them. I’m not scared.” 
“What about, I dunno, bears?” 
“Bears are cute.” 
He gives you an incredulous look, as if you’ve really caught him off guard with that one. “You’re something else.” 
“I’ll take that as a compliment.” 
“Am I gonna have to hold you back from trying to pet a 700 pound grizzly?” He asks, fingers playing with your shoulder blades. 
You pretend to think about it. “No, but maybe a raccoon….?” 
“Oh my god, go to bed,” he chuckles. “I’m rethinking the mountains.” 
“Oh c’mon!” 
It takes a good hour for you both to get tired enough to fall asleep. The witty banter keeps you awake, like you’re at a teenage slumber party with your best friend. It’s you that drifts off first, because if you don’t get your nine hours you emulate Grumpy from Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.

Newt x Reader - May I braid your hair?
Tumblr media
The sun shown down brightly on my back, causing beads of sweat to form under my hairline and along my forehead and soft earth enveloped my hands, getting under my fingernails. I gritted my teeth in effort as I once again pulled against a stubborn weed that had taken its home amidst the growing tomatoes.
The green color stripped onto my hands as I strained, the stem rubbing mercilessly against my palms. I took a breath, licking my salty lips and I blew my Y/H/C hair out of my face again. I would not be bested by a stupid weed. I glared at the tiny leafy thing, unfortunately for me weeds couldn’t be killed by looks alone. With a final great tug, the weed finally released itself from the earth. I landed on my rear end with a grunt narrowly avoiding smashing the next row of plants.
“You ok over there? You need rescuing from squash or something?” I heard Newts teasing voice a few rows over. 
“Very funny” I rolled my eyes somewhat playfully as I still sat in the moist earth. I couldn’t help but grin upon hearing his self-satisfied chuckle, although I’d never admit it.
I casually tossed the vanquished weed into my pail from my place in the dirt, panting a bit from the heat. I rubbed an itch on my face with the back of my hand, only resulting in dirt mixing with the warm dampness of my skin. It seemed quite tempting to sit here the rest of the day, hiding from the blazing sun underneath the leafy green plants, but before I could consider it, I heard soft footsteps, and a head of golden hair popped up from above me.
“Slacking off on the job I see.” He grinned brown eyes twinkling as he stood leaning on his shovel.
I playglared up at him blowing my hair out of my face, “I just pulled a very strong weed thank you very much.”
His eyebrow raised playfully “I don’t see any weed.” 
I grabbed a clot of dirt and threw it at him, he dogged. 
“Hey! Don’t get me all dirty.” 
“You deserved it. Besides you are already dirty” I grinned. 
“Well you aren’t exactly clean either, Love.” He was right of course but that didn’t stop me from sticking out my tongue at him. He started laughing
“So ladylike”
“Oh slim it you” 
Still chuckling he leaned his shovel against a post and gently stepped through the soft earth extending a dirty and calloused hand. I readily accepted and he pulled me up my hair sticking to my damp face and getting in my eyes and mouth. He looked on in amusement as I tried to spit out my hair but not get any dirt in my mouth or smear any on my already dirty face. When I finally accomplished this he just shook his head smiling,
“Time for a break.” 
He didn’t need to say it twice. I followed his lead easily through the rows of tomatoes, cabbage, beans, and the like, both of us careful not to tread on the growing plants. Newt led us over to a nearby tree where we had left some water and our discarded jackets. He plopped down out of the sun, his back to the tree, one knee bent and the other extended as he looked up, panting slightly from the heat. My cheeks were flushed and grimy, and beads of sweat dripped down my back and neck as I reached out for the cool jar of water.
Unscrewing the silver lid, I tilted it back and let the cool liquid flow down my throat and cool me from the inside out. I took a few more swigs adjusting myself to sitting on my heels as I tossed my wayward hair over my shoulder. Between the shade and the water, everything was much more comfortable, considering the sweltering day. After my next sip, Newt reached out silently asking for the jar and I passed it over. He drank just as deeply as I did pausing a bit to allow the liquid to do its work before he let out a contented breath. We sat in comfortable silence for a couple moments.
I started gently pulling at the grass beneath my fingertips, soaking in any small breeze that made its way under our tree. Newt had been silently observing me for a bit, but I didn’t mind. In fact, I didn’t really realize it until his sudden movements caught my eyes as he quickly stood, favoring his right leg. 
“Break over so soon?” I tried not to sound as disappointed as I felt.
“No, I just need to do something I’ll be right back.” With that he hobbled off quite fast, leaving me alone under the green canopy. I drank in these few rare moments of silence, gazing easily at the green leaves dancing above, even stealing the jar back from where Newt had left it and taking a couple more sips. When Newt returned swiftly his eyes were bursting with an idea. It was always that way with him, his brown eyes were so expressive you always had an idea of what he was thinking. He knelt down in front of me and waved me closer
“C’mere”
I furrowed my eyebrows confused. 
“C’mon love, sit.” He patted the grass right in front of him. Still a bit confused I more or less crawled over looking up into his brown eyes every so often to try to understand what he wanted. When I reached him, he said
“Now turn around and sit.” By now, I was horribly confused. “Will you just trust me?” I sighed and plopped down, awaiting further instructions. Now he seemed to hesitate before he asked, “Is it alright if I braid your hair? It’s been in your face all day and I thought it might be nice if you didn’t have to worry about it.” I smiled even though he couldn’t see, I could tell he had been thinking about it and gotten excited, but now that I was actually sitting here, he realized it might be a strange request. 
“Of course Newt go for it.” I couldn’t keep the smile out of my voice and he picked up on it causing him to loose any worries he could have had. However before he started something struck me “Wait wait wait! Newt!” 
“Yeah?” I dropped my head back to look up at him since he was kneeling directly behind me. 
“Your hands are filthy! You are not touching my hair like that.”
A boyish grin spread across his face as he waved his clean hands in front of my face. “I washed them already Love” he was clearly proud of himself. I returned his smile and gave a small laugh dropping my head back down. 
“Alright then, you have permission to braid my hair.” 
I sat there patiently as his hands firmly but gently tilted my head up my eyes now peering up through the green leaves. I felt him rake his fingers through to get out all the tangles from our already long day. As his finger hit a snag I heard him wince for me “Sorry” apology dripped from his accent. It was just a small pull but he was so careful, trying not to let it happen again. It inevitably did however, as is the nature of my hair, and his response was the same. 
“It’s ok Newt it doesn’t hurt that bad.”
“It feels like it would hurt.” I can see his furrowed eyebrows and concerned face from his voice alone and it made the corners of my mouth turn up slightly. 
“Newt it’s fine you don’t have to apologize, I promise it doesn’t hurt.”
“Ok” he breathed.
Moment later he hit another snag. “Sorry!”
“Newtttt” 
“Oh that’s right! I’m sorry Im sorry I didn’t mean to—“ he huffed in exasperation and I burst out laughing. His head popped around my shoulder so he could look me in the face, his expression slightly taken aback but also a bit teasing.
“And what are you laughing at?”
I tried to regain my breath amidst all the laughing. 
“You!”
“Me?” He feigned surprise.
“Yes you!” 
“I feel like I should be insulted” he laughed, grinning as he returned to running his fingers through my hair. My laughing calmed down as I enjoyed the delicate flow of his fingers once again. His fingers caught one again and I raised an eyebrow at the silence, a grin forming over my face.
“Newt! Stop apologizing.”
“I didn’t say anything!” He insisted defensively.
“You did so, in your mind.” I dropped my head back to look up at him. His face was so absolutely horror-stricken I realized my guess was right. I started laughing so hard I fell over backward toppling into him slightly and falling onto the warm grass. 
“I just can’t win with you, can I, Love?” He had recovered a bit and sat chuckling at my state. 
“You really were apologizing in your head?” I wheezed. 
He rolled his eyes good-naturedly, “I guess you know me too well, what am I ever going to do with you.” He had leaned back on his hands, and the admiring smile he gave me made me feel a glow growing from the inside out. I managed to push myself back up still catching my breath as I looked back into his beaming eyes. 
“You sir,” I slapped the ground behind me to signal him closer, “can finish braiding my hair.” 
He sat up and knelt directly behind me once again, ready to begin braiding, and with a small smile in his voice, I heard a quiet “yes, Love.”

Teeth
Part 7!
Werepanther! Billy Russo x Female Reader
Masterlist
Warnings: Smut (18+), voyeurism, exhibitionism, use of sex toys, just.... absolute dumbassery.
For my loves, @idaofinfinity, @marvelmusing, @stardustmorozov, @frying-panties, @iamgettingalife, @icannotbetrustedalone, @imagine-a-fictional-boyfriend. Some of the people that never fail to hold me upright when I feel like a.... limp, barely watered plant. 😅❤
Tumblr media
"Are you following?" He asks.
You give him a slow nod of your head.
"I'm thinking." You answer.
You scrunch your eyebrows slightly together, absentmindedly tucking your bottom lip under your teeth, biting down.
He shifts a little bit in his chair.
"We should definitely split these two systems, too much foot traffic puts the auxiliary at risk."
You get lost in thought, looking off into the  corner of his office, thinking aloud about the specs necessary to make the system better.
You catch yourself, blinking in realisation that you'd been zoned out for the better part of a minute, turning back to him, to find him staring at you with the strangest expression on his face.
"Sorry- bad habit of zoning out. Where were we?"
His mouth pulls into a slow smile, you feel the pace of your heart pick up in your chest.
"Do you like strawberries?" He asks, a curious tilt of his head.
The sudden conversation shift makes you a little nervous.
You gulp.
"Yeah, they're my favourite." You respond simply.
"Great, one of our clients sent us a thank you gift," he murmurs, reaching into the mini fridge that sits beside his desk, and pulling out the cutest little tray of strawberries, "but they sent way too much. Would you like some?"
Your fingers twitch, eyes carefully assessing the plump fruit, mouth watering at the beautiful sight of them.
"You're sure it's okay?" You ask, meeting his eyes.
William nods, extending the little box to you. You reach out to cup the tray between both hands.
"They sent about five of these, you can have the entire thing if you'd like."
"Thank you, Mister Russo." You say happily as the little tray rests in your hands.
"No, wait, one condition." He says, you look up at him in surprise.
"Call me Billy? Please?"
It takes you a moment, eyes flitting between the strawberries and his handsome face.
"Okay, Billy."
The smile you share is something... more. You feel a connection, trace its way down your spine, something like friendship blooming between you.
"Would you like one?" You offer, extending the tray to him after picking up a pretty one for yourself.
He nods, reaching for a strawberry of his own.
You bring the strawberry to your nose first, breathing in the delicious scent, before pressing the cool fruit to your lips.
The delicious tangy juice spills into your mouth, you try your hardest to mask your sound of appreciation.
The fruit is delicious, smells sweeter than it actually is, your mouth flooding with the taste of it, letting the juice trickle down your throat.
You glance up at him, worried that he's staring at you, but he's not, looking out of the window instead, as he brings the fruit to his mouth.
Some of the juice spills onto his fingers, and you feel your body pull taut as he sucks the tips of his middle and index fingers into his mouth.
There's an obscene sucking sound as he cleans his fingers, and you get caught in lustful thoughts.
That's what he'd look like if he licked his fingers clean after-
You swallow, an unbelievable amount of need pulsing under your skin.
You needed to get even with him. You needed him to understand how mindless he made you, a very dangerous plan forming in your head.
.
He takes away your ability to think critically. It's like a high, being near him, thinking about him, catching glimpses of him in his apartment. He snatches every coherent thought, until you're all lust and no worry.
You didn't exactly think this through and you knew it, simply ordering an item online, even splurging on express shipping, so that it gets here faster.
Yet somehow you're still surprised when it shows up at your door on Saturday.
You're careful, pulling the curtains shut, sitting on your couch, cross legged before ripping the package open.
You gulp at the size of it, you've never had something so big in you, but it's the one thing you'd seen that had made you immediately think of him.
It's a translucent silicone dildo, tinted puple, with a suction cup built into the base.
You swallow, examining it carefully, thinking about the best way to torment him, hoping that he finally understands how badly you want him.
The ache for him transcends need, it's beyond desire, it feels like something deep inside of you, the very building blocks of your soul. You can't think straight, you can't focus, your cunt is wet with yearning, your body absolute- with the ideas of what it wants.
What could he even do? Realistically? He was your neighbour, and sometimes intimate things observed can be... accidental.
.
Billy's had a long Saturday.
His back is almost aching with all the errands he's had to run today, he's eager for a long shower and a glass of bourbon to help him sleep.
He drops his keys and wallet on his counter, sheds his shirt and kicks off his pants, leaves them where they are and decides to worry about them tomorrow.
His shower is good, steaming hot- it fogs the glass around him, he's relaxed after such an enduring day. The scent of his body wash is good, the cleanser he uses on his face makes him feel clean and he feels the grime of the day leave him.
His bathroom tiles are heated, a good expense to ensure he's comfortable.
He tugs on loose pants, something to protect his modesty while he grabs the bottle of Angel's Envy from the top shelf of his liquor cabinet.
Three fingers worth of amber liquid, one long sip that soothes him.
He feels his body relax.
It had really been a long day.
He decides to check in on you, moving to his living room, that stood on a level just a little bit higher than your bedroom, perfectly in line so that whenever your curtains were open, he'd be able to see-
The glass in his hand shatters.
It takes him a moment, for his brain to start working, for the blood swiftly redirecting to his cock to allow him to process what he's looking at.
God, what a sight.
The predator, that has been silent since he got home, finally roars to life inside of him.
Unable to stop, he finds himself as close to the window as possible, but just far enough away that the fog of his breath does not cloud his vision.
The way you look.
There's nothing he can compare it to, Venus herself would gaze at you with envy, or perhaps the same way he looks at you now, with unending awe.
It's surprising, how much thought he still has left in him, considering what you're doing, that he has the time to admire the way you look.
But how could he not?
When there's a beauty to you he's never witnessed before, when there's a voice inside of him demanding he kneel before such decadence.
You don't even know, is his next pained thought, you don't even know how you look, too lost in chasing your own pleasure to admire yourself.
So Billy takes his time, and makes an attempt to sear your captivating figure into his memory.
Your hips are canting backwards, in short, rhythmic strokes. On your knees, on top of your bed, face pressed into your sheets, impaling your needy cunt on the fake cock stuck to your headboard.
His ears hone in on you, the predator pushing his senses to the max, so that he can hear every sound you make.
Obscenely wet, is his first thought, magnificently sweet is his second.
Each backward movement of your hips pulls an endearing gasp from your mouth, as if the pathetic dildo is just borderline too big for you.
His fists clench at his sides.
The worst part is, that you're begging. As if you're not in control of your own pleasure, as if it's someone else, you beg, sweet little words of 'please' and 'more' dropping from your mouth so easily.
Absentmindedly, he realises that you're still clothed, a little purple nightdress, that ends at the curve of your rear, protecting your skin from his ravenous eyes.
Then, to his fucking surprise- as if anything else could surprise him, you turn your head, open your eyes, and look right at him.
And heaven save him, you smile, and begin rock your hips harder.
"Oh fuck, that's so good." He hears you say, head turning back to press your forehead to the sheets, hands fisting the white material in your hands.
You know he's watching, and it gives you pleasure.
Billy can hear his own frantic breaths, loud in the stillness of his house.
"Oh god, fuck I'm so close, please."
He has the afterthought that he's about to watch you cum.
He can't move, he can't look away, he can barely hear the panther in his head, raging at him, all of it is drowned out, all of it is washed away by you.
The sound you make when your orgasm hits sends tingles down his spine. It's something low and sweet, and the beast inside of him demands that he go to you and make you scream.
He almost does it.
He almost rips every door off its hinges in an attempt to get to you, but that's before you pause, turn your head to look at him once more, and begin to fuck yourself to a second orgasm.
It hits him then, that delighted smile of yours when you see him looking, it makes him realize how much of a brat you are.
And Billy didn't indulge brats.
He tamed them.
He waits till your second orgasm is over, till you pull yourself off of that pathetic fake cock with shaking thighs and drops yourself into an exhausted heap nearby.
He watches you breathe for a moment, before turning to grab his phone.
.
You groan a little when your phone rings, stomach flipping when you reach for it on your nightstand to see his name on screen.
It's a harmless accident, you brief yourself, and you swipe to answer.
"Hello?" You say with a shaky voice.
"That was quite a show. But I need you to understand something."
"What?" You ask, a little scared and a little breathless.
"I'm much bigger than that."
The line goes dead.
.
Harmless, an accident.
I didn't mean for you to see that.
These are the things you repeat to yourself as you walk into Anvil on Monday morning. You're not too worried, considering what he'd said to you the very night over the phone.
I'm much bigger than that.
God, was that even possible? How were you going to take him if you could barely take that dildo?
You're not going to be taking him, he's your boss, your head reminds you.
She was right, your brain, getting involved with him was a bad idea, a very bad idea.
The thought of it though, of having him, of crawling into bed with him, holding him close throughout the night, finding endless passionate encounters, made you ache with want.
This was bad.
He was your boss, you shouldn't be thinking about him like this.
But you couldn't help it, you wanted him like nothing before.
You're hoping to see him, you catch yourself daydreaming about it, that he would find an excuse to come to you, lean against your desk and say something, anything, ask you about your day, or how your project is coming along, maybe show you exactly how big he would be-
You swallow, clicking your pen repeatedly for a moment before getting control of yourself.
You sigh, shoulders dropping, a sad realization seeping into you.
You wanted him.
You don't get a chance to see him for the entire day.
Your banter goes unsaid.
.
Billy was using all of his willpower to remain human right now.
The full moon was close, the predator in his head was roaring at full volume.
On edge, he grips the sides of his chair hard, hears something crack.
From the moment you entered the building- he knew. Your body was calling out to him.
A sweet cherry scent, a few citrus notes added in and he knew.
You were ovulating.
Sure, you'd been fertile in his presence before, once or twice in the last few months, but it hadn't been as strong as this, and never this close to a full moon.
His self control was being tested like never before.
The predator pushes images of you, open and naked below him, the feel of your hand on his cheek, the way he'd press deeper into your touch.
Billy takes a shallow breath.
The slow way he'd take his time, fitting himself into you, watching you take every inch of him that you could.
Or maybe your legs on his shoulders, folding you in half while he makes you take every inch of him into your sweet pussy, swallowing each cry from your perfect mouth, a controlling hand wrapped around the column of your throat, feeling your cunt tighten around him as his hand tightens on your throat-
Billy shudders, body shaking with the effort to keep him human, his teeth elongates involuntarily, and he realises that he can't stay here, if he does, there is no telling of what he might do.
He stands, doesn't grab much more than his keys and his phone, and hightails it.
He almost wants to die when he smells your scent grow stronger, tapping on the elevator call button rapidly as if that brings it any faster.
The beast fights him, pulls at him to find you, your sweet scent compromising his self control.
The elevator arrives and he steps in, pressing the floor he wants.
Your voice, a little call, asking to hold the elevator.
When he reaches for the close door button instead, the beast manages to take control for a moment, pressing the button to open the doors instead.
Fuck.
He's rigid when you step in.
.
"Oh, Billy, hey, hello." You say, a smile pulling onto your face.
He looks angry, staring forward, but he manages to give you a nod, and a low sound of your name in greeting.
You swallow, wondering if you should interact or not, maybe he was busy with something else.
"How are you doing? I hope your weekend was great." You try, offering something easy and casual. Smalltalk was a little menial, but it wasn't bad for a casual interaction.
Except, that he doesn't respond.
You turn away from facing him, blinking at the elevator doors.
Maybe he wasn't up to interacting with you today.
.
Don't kiss her don't kiss her don't kiss her don't kiss her-
Billy tenses every muscle in his body to stop the predator from seizing control of him.
Hands pinned beside your head, legs wrapped around his hips, quiet moans and helpless gasps as he kisses you senseless, eager to steal your senses, desperate to make a place inside of you for himself-
Your body crying out for him and you don't even know it, your scent filling the enclosed space, torturing him. His little mate, so fucking sweet and delectable, standing beside him and doesn't know how badly he wants to sink his tongue between your thighs, drown you with pleasure until you're so sated on him that you can't walk.
Why was he fighting himself so hard again?
Right, he was your boss, and he didn't want to make you think that the only reason he'd hired you was to sleep with you.
He clears his throat when the doors open, tilting his head in your direction.
"Have a nice day." He says, before stepping out.
.
He hadn't even stepped out onto the floor he'd selected.
You blink, eyebrows drawn together, wondering why he'd stopped out on the fifth floor when he was going down to the parking lot in the basement.
You smile automatically when a few other people step in.
Did he leave because he wanted to get away from you faster?
Your shoulders drop sadly.

Washing their hair
Sitting on the counter watching them brush their teeth / shave in the morning
Wearing their clothes
With Luke Hughes
Thank you so much for the request!! I really like this one so I hope you like it too!
Luke is constantly busy. School, hockey, and the guys take up so much of his time. There was a point on our relationship where I felt like I didn’t fit into his schedule. Like we just couldn’t work, then we started a routine and it’s perfect for us.
I wake up on my side with Luke’s body pressed against my back. We’re in his dorm squeezed into a tiny bed but I don’t mind it one bit. I try to pull away but he tightens his arm around my waist.
“Don’t leave,” He says. His voice is raspy and it’s incredibly attractive. The way he sounds in the morning always gets me.
I turn around a plant a kiss on his neck, “We need to get up. Will you take a shower with me?”
He doesn’t respond he just moves us off the bed, he takes my hand and walks me to the bathroom. He has his own connected to his dorm and I’m so grateful for it. We take a moment to brush our teeth. Standing next to each other in front of the small sink.
He starts the water for the shower, allowing it to warm up while he undresses me. I’m standing in his large t-shirt and some underwear. Still, he takes his time stripping me of those clothes planting soft kisses on my skin the entire time. He ushers me into the shower while he takes off his sweats and his boxers.
When he joins me in the shower we kiss softly for a while under the running water. Nothing feels better then this. “Can I wash your hair?” He asks holding my face in his hands.
“Please,” I respond. I turn my back to him allowing him to massage the shampoo into my scalp. It’s heavenly. His hands are so big yet so gentle. He rinses my hair and adds some conditioner to the ends. He waits a moment then washes it out as well. “Can I wash your hair now?”
He chuckles, “You can try.” Luke is quite a bit taller then me so I have to stand on a ledge. I steady myself by holding on to his sholder. I use the same shampoo on him. Taking my time to play with his hair.
He groans. “That bad?” I joke moving his hair under the water.
“That good,” he replies.
We take our time cleaning our bodies, moving in tandem. Washing each other or washing ourselves. As we stand there I let myself admire him. He works so hard to be the best and his body shows it. His body is made up of harsh lines and defined muscle. He’s stunning.
When we get out of the shower he drapes a large towel over my shoulders. I cross it over my chest and sit on the closed toilet. I watch him get out his shaving cream, after shave, and razor. He applies the shaving cream evenly and begins shaving his stubble. He doesn’t have much facial hair so he prefers being clean shaven.
He works quickly yet carefully moving the razor. His sharp jawline comes back into view when he wipes away some shaving cream. I forget that him and other boys my age are men. Like fully young men. Luke exemplifies the qualities of a good man almost all the time. Moments like this remind me how lucky I am.
When he’s finished he applies some after shave. He smells amazing. We tumble back into his room exchanging sweet kisses and even sweeter words. All that can be heard is breathless I love you’s and You’re perfect’s.
Leaving to go to class is a heartbreaking thing but it will be okay because we will do this again and again. Holding on to this time forever, the early mornings with the love of my life.

Grim's Subtle Worship Ideas for Idunna 🍎🍏
Basically my entry to @chaos-bites 's Subtle Worship series for Norse Gods
I made this in hopes of taking some of the stress of it from Stag's shoulders (and I got the go-ahead too)
eat in-season produce
take your medication safely and on time
learn more about how fruits and vegetables grow
grow a plant, ideally one that produces a fruit or vegetable, but a low effort one like a succulent works too
eat mindfully
partake in a creative hobby (think knitting, drawing, etc) that brings you joy
learn your limits and honor them
do a chore that desperately needs doing to improve your quality of life (dust with a mask if you have a dust allergy, clean out your fridge so you don't get sick from spoiled food, etc)
support environment preservation and restoration groups
clean up litter
be mindful of what you buy and throw away
exercise! doesn’t have to be a full complicated routine, just something that gets you moving and enjoy - and if you can’t enjoy it, something you can at least bear
spend some time outside - and put on sunscreen while you’re at it!
take care of yourself: shower if you haven’t in a while, brush your teeth if you haven’t today, and so forth
learn more about your local ecosystem
share an apple with her
start your own fruit and/or vegetable garden and give part of the harvest to loved ones
contribute to a community garden
make a homemade apple pie and give her a slice
give her an glass of water and ice to refresh her after a long day in the orchard
help a loved one with yardwork
I'll probably add onto this list later - I know I haven't gotten everything she'd like. Or, heck, y'all can add onto it too! I'm curious to see what else y'all would offer her.

ooh!! 🌤️ for the ask game? :0
🌤️Share your favorite piece of dialogue from your WIP
technically this isn’t dialogue but writing the skills always feels like dialogue to me:
HALF LIGHT: You are meeting a bloody and murderous end right here, right now, on this mattress. You are going to die, and the taskforce will never solve your murder, and nobody is going to come to your shitty little funeral, or water your shitty little plants, or tell Kim that you—
YOU: Riding an abrupt wave of adrenaline, the sheets pooling in your lap, you lunge with both hands for the thing currently gnawing on your throat. You drag it away by the scruff of its neck and hold the writhing body at arm’s length, face to face with your murderer at last…
LOGIC [Trivial: Success]: Kitty!
HALF LIGHT: My bad.
PERCEPTION: Very orange. Two months, judging by the size and teeth, although it could be older; Revacholian strays are notoriously scrawny. Also, it’s filthy.
YOU: Why do I know…?
INLAND EMPIRE: He liked them. The man you were before you.
EMPATHY [Medium: Success]: Its tiny teeth are bared in a snarl, eyes slitted, ears pressed back. This creature is beside itself with fury. It really didn’t want to get caught. Especially not by such a strange, lumbering giant.
SUGGESTION: Scratch its ears, Harry. Go on.
ESPRIT DE CORPS: Give it some warning first! Nobody wants to be caught off-guard in enemy territory.
YOU: “Ah… hello.”
???: Two beady eyes snap open, staring at you. A squashed nose sniffs the air.
PERCEPTION: The truth here is unfortunate, but unavoidable—there is nothing about this face that denotes cuteness. ‘Cute’ is not an adjective this animal could ever hope to be associated with. Even by Revachol’s standards, this is an ugly kitten.
CONCEPTUALISATION [Challenging: Success]: The *Cuno* of kittens.
CUNO CAT: …
YOU: …
CUNO CAT: …
YOU: Slowly, with a gentleness that belies your nerves, you scratch the cat behind its ears.
CUNO CAT: Two gummy eyes slit closed. A grinding noise begins to emanate from deep within. It reminds you of a garbage compactor, or that horrendous sound you became acquainted with yesterday: the dull screeching of a beloved Coupris Kineema scraping its undercarriage on a pothole.
YOU: Man, poor Kim. Wonder how he’s holding up?
EMPATHY: ...Wait.
ESPRIT DE CORPS: Wait.
DRAMA: Oh, GOD—
INTERFACING [Challenging: Success]: Listen to me very carefully. I will only say this once. This is the Grand Couron Hotel, 3rd floor, room 39. It is 7:30am on a Wednesday morning. You are meeting your partner, Lieutenant Kitsuragi, at 7:45, outside the tourist information office. You are wearing boxer shorts (clean), a single sock (filthy), and no shirt. You are sober and uncaffeinated. Your suitcase is open under the window. You are not, for the time being, late for work. You have fifteen minutes to get your shit together.
SHIVERS: ʙᴇ sᴛʀᴏɴɢ, ᴍʏ ʜᴇᴀʀᴛ. ʏᴏᴜ ʜᴀᴠᴇ ᴇɴᴅᴜʀᴇᴅ ᴡᴏʀsᴇ ᴛʜɪɴɢs ᴛʜᴀɴ ᴛʜɪs.
VOLITION [Medium: Failure]: Fuck off, asshole. No he hasn’t.
NEW TASK: Get your shit together and meet Kim at the tourist office (speedrun!)
YOU: Shirt, on. Tie, on. Clean boxers, keep those on. God ass jeans… woefully inappropriate for a murder investigation, but they’re clean. Put them on. Patrol cloak, yes. Sunglasses, no. Socks—
INTERFACING: Ten minutes and counting.
YOU: Forget the socks. Shoes…
INLAND EMPIRE [Easy: Success]: Something waterproof, easy to clean.
YOU: Cavalry boots it is, then. A hasty swipe of your fingers through your hair while peering in the bathroom mirror, a swig of mouthwash that burns your throat—
ELECTROCHEMISTRY: SHOTS, SHOTS, SHOTS!
YOU: ...And the face looking back at you resembles something approaching a human corpse. With a little more time and TLC, who knows? Maybe you’d look like a fully human corpse. That would be a fun surprise for your coworkers.
VOLITION: There is a map in your patrol cloak pocket, but you won’t need it. The tourist office is perched on the boardwalk overlooking the bay, a five minute walk from here. Left, then right, then another right. You and the lieutenant drove past it yesterday. Now, just get yourself out the door and—
PAIN THRESHOLD: And you’re being stabbed. Again.
CUNO CAT: Cuno Cat has attached itself to your pant leg, clawing upwards with grim determination.
[Physical Instrument: Medium] Remove the Cuno Cat.
[Rhetoric: Challenging] Reason with the Cuno Cat.
[Composure: Impossible] Ignore the Cuno Cat. It’s all gravy, baby.
RHETORIC [Challenging: Failure]: This seems like a rational, well balanced animal. You are a rational, well balanced man. Explain the situation, rationally. He’ll understand.
YOU: “You can’t come to my crime scene, Cuno.”
CUNO CAT: Those beady eyes bore unblinkingly into yours. The knife-paws inch perilously close to your shirt’s hem.
PERCEPTION [Challenging: Success]: A distant echo, faint but audible…
INLAND EMPIRE: Cuno Doesn’t Fucking Care!
LOGIC: (He doesn’t care.)

This one was definitely tough because I struggled to find historical accounts of Triton being worshipped. Typically, I can draw some ideas from that if I'm not familiar with a deity, but Triton didn't have many records of worship, despite being widely accepted as Poseidon and Amphitrite's son. He was mostly known as Poseidon's herald, and in some accounts, he was even Athena's foster parent, yet there is still such little information about him to be found.
At least for now, this is my list of discreet ways to worship Triton. I hope to be able to add more in the future, and I hope that it's still helpful to people as is. Take care, y'all, and chill with the waves. 💚

June of Doom Day 24 - "Let's get you cleaned up."
| Blankets | Stitches | Bandages |
Characters: Lawrence, Marshall
Came out later than I was intending because I got a bpd diagnosis today lmao. Not what I was expecting but I guess that means just another oc to project all my issues on--
Didn't proofread because I'm exhausted lol. I know I probably got some medical inaccuracies, but I don't take my whump seriously enough anyway XD.
CW: Parental whumper, dangerous cuts, blood, stitches, stockholm syndrome, mild infantilization, platonic/non-sexual nudity
...
It was like every other day. Lawrence worked a lot and Marshall would keep himself entertained while he was gone.
He often went out to the yard to tend to the plants, drawing in the sketchbook Lawrence got him, and reading through his bookshelf. He reread some of them already, but he was going crazy without anything else to do.
He had always lived a solitary lifestyle, but this was a whole new level of isolation.
Even though Lawrence said to never go into the forest alone, he never said anything about the beach.
Lawrence had been gone since this morning. He usually left at ten, and then returned by five. And since Marshall was done his chores early, he had nothing better to do other than explore the beach.
The tide pools were always pretty to look at, and he liked finding interesting seashells to keep.
He made his way through the woods, wincing when sticks poked his skin. He eventually got out to the clearing of the coast. It was a gorgeous sight, as per usual. The sky was clear and the ocean sparkled, glittering beneath the sunlight. The waves crashed against the sand. Marshall always appreciated how peaceful it was out here, no one to disturb the stillness of the beach.
Marshall wandered down the shoreline, admiring the seagulls flying above him and the different kinds of shells he could collect. He picked out the prettiest ones, deciding he could make a bracelet out of them for fun.
He looked up from the sand to gaze at the ocean. It was so tranquil today. He loved how the salty air smelled, and the way the cool water felt against his bare feet.
He liked to swim every now and then, and sometimes Lawrence even swam with him. It wasn't very fun though, since Lawrence would freak out the entire time and make him promise not to go deeper than his waist.
He sighed at the thought of having to endure another lecture about safety when he got home.
Just as he was walking up the steep hill of rocks and large boulders, he tripped over the sharp edges of a rock and tumbled backwards, yelping as he skidded down the rocky slope. The grit dug into his palms and the exposed part of his knees.
Marshall laid on the sand, dazed and confused, trying to figure out what happened.
He pushed himself up into a sitting position, glancing down at his hands. They were bleeding profusely, and so were his knees. His calves were cut up too. Some of them were small enough to be small scrapes, nothing that a bandaid and some ice couldn't fix. But some of the cuts were deeper and wider than others, and they burned like fire.
He squeezed his eyes shut at the overwhelming pain.
It was his fault for being clumsy, so he sucked it up and started cleaning himself up as best he could.
He picked the pebbles out of his knees and hands, gritting his teeth through it. It wasn't very effective, and he had to stop due to the blood coating his arms.
Marshall slowly made his way to the house, stopping every few minutes to take a breather.
He didn't want to get in blood in the house, but he needed to call Lawrence. He was told to only use the phone in case of emergencies, but he thought this counted as an emergency. He knew he was definitely going to get scolded later.
The scolding would definitely be worse if he didn't call him, so this was for the best.
He limped up to the front porch and swung the door open, wincing at the soreness in his muscles.
He quickly staggered inside and grabbed the home phone from the kitchen. He dialed Lawrence's number and waited impatiently for him to pick up. After a few rings, the line connected.
"Hi, Marsh! I'm sorry, but I'm kind of busy right now. Did something happen?" Lawrence asked. Marshall could hear the sounds of several people talking in the background, so he assumed he was at one of his production meetings.
"I, uh, kind of got hurt and I was wondering if you could come back."
"Hurt? What do you mean?"
He winced when he took a step, trying to ignore the sharp pain coursing through his body. "It's fine. I just scraped my knees and hands." Marshall wiped his tears, glancing down at one of his open wounds.
The biggest one was on his leg, right above his knee and still had blood pooling from it. He grabbed a napkin with his free hand to put over the cut. It was a miracle he wasn't having a panic attack.
"How badly?" Lawrence's tone was deadly serious.
"I don't know." Marshall cleared his throat, which had been feeling scratchy the past few minutes. "But it really hurts. There's blood everywhere, and I'm so sorry! I'll clean it up, I swear. I just thought you should know, and I couldn't get the bleeding to stop, so--"
"Just put pressure on it, I'll be home in thirty minutes! Can you hold on until then?!"
"It's fine, I'm not dying." Even if it felt and looked like it.
"Just wait there, okay?!" He heard frantic footsteps, and him yell something to likely one of his coworkers. "Stay on the line."
Marshall did so. He felt nauseous and his head was throbbing. He slumped down on the ground, biting his lip hard enough to break the skin.
The napkin was soaked with his blood now. He let out a small groan and wiped his sweaty forehead with the back of his hand. He tried thinking about other things to distract him from the pain.
A little sooner than thirty minutes later, Lawrence slammed open the front door, panting like he just ran a marathon. The first thing he spotted was the blood.
Marshall tried to get up and show him his injuries, but he wobbled and fell back, letting out a distressed noise.
Lawrence rushed over to him. He crouched in front of him, grabbing his wrist to examine his hands. "What happened?!" he demanded, inspecting each cut, and then moving up to his knee. He tried being as careful as possible when he peeled back the napkin, revealing the wound. His eyes widened in horror. "Shit." It was rare he cursed in front of him, so Marshall knew he was freaked out. "How did this happen?"
Marshall didn't meet his eyes. "I fell, it was stupid."
"It's fine. Everything's fine..." Lawrence's hands were shaking, a clear indicator he didn't believe his own words.
He rushed to one of the kitchen cabinets to grab the medical supplies, and then jogged back over to Marshall's side.
He started applying some disinfectant on his injuries, emitting a cry from the brunet. Lawrence cooed and rubbed his thigh soothingly. He dug into the med kit to pull out a suture kit. Marshall paled at the sight of it, immediately shaking his head.
"N-no, I don't need stitches. They'll be fine. It's just a few scratches." He tried pulling his leg back, but Lawrence firmly kept it in place.
"It's okay, just try to relax. I've done this before, and it'll be quick." Marshall remained skeptical but obeyed him. Lawrence pulled his leg into his lap and unwrapped the suture needle from its package, readying it against his skin.
Marshall wanted to ask for something to ease the pain, but he couldn't speak. He squeezed his eyes shut.
He could handle this. It was just a couple of stitches.
Marshall's bottom lip wobbled. It hurt so much. He hissed while Lawrence thread the needle through the cut. It only got worse once he tugged the string tight. He opened one of his eyes to see how many more were left.
The wound was extremely wide and long. Lawrence went on, his eyes not leaving his work for a second. It broke his heart each time Marshall would cry, but he persisted.
After what felt like an eternity, he finally tied the last stitch. He then put on some antibiotic ointment and covered it up with a bandage. He stood up to put the medical kit away. Marshall's entire leg was red from the blood, but it wasn't as swollen as he thought it would be.
Lawrence squatted beside him to wash out the other wounds, and then put bandaids over them. Marshall was scared more would need stitches, but after those, Lawrence deemed them unworthy of that.
Marshall put his weight on the blond, who scooped him up and carried him to the bathroom.
"Let's get you cleaned up, buddy." Lawrence placed him on the closed toilet seat and lathered a sponge in water and soap. "Just gonna do a sponge-bath for now, okay? We can get you a bath in a few hours when we need to change your bandages. Now, arms up."
Marshall mindlessly obeyed, letting Lawrence pull the shirt off of him. He had a few growing bruises on his newly exposed skin, but no cuts.
"Why didn't you stay inside?"
"I was bored," Marshall admitted.
Lawrence scrubbed the dirt and dried blood from his skin. "There are plenty of things to do in this house. What were you doing outside anyway?"
If he weren't injured and on the verge of a breakdown, Lawrence would have definitely unleashed his full anger. "I went to the beach. It's comforting." Lawrence briefly paused, to which Marshall continued, "I fell down on that rocky hill-thing. You know the one I'm talking about, I think."
A long, disappointed sigh left Lawrence's mouth. "You're telling me, instead of climbing the actual path like a sane person, you decided to climb the rock mountain?" Marshall shrugged. "You can't do that again. It's dangerous. And you almost gave me a heart attack."
"Sorry..." he mumbled. He leaned forward so Lawrence could clean his back and check for bruises. "You're acting surprisingly calm," Marshall joked weakly, in attempt to lighten the mood.
"I'm keeping my composure, for your sake. This could have been a lot worse than just a few stitches. If you'd gotten tetanus, we would be in the hospital." He pulled back to look at Marshall. "You did get your tetanus shot, right?"
"I think so."
Lawrence's lips curled into a frown. "You think so?"
"I don't remember, okay?"
"Marshall..." He shook his head in disappointment. He retrieved some fresh clothing and helped him into it, putting him into sweatpants and an old t-shirt. "You're getting a tetanus shot tomorrow, no objections."
He really disliked when Lawrence talked down to him like a kid, but it was a nice reminder that someone cared about his wellbeing, even if he wasn't pleased. "Okay," he whispered.
Lawrence kissed his forehead and picked him back up, carrying him to the couch. He gingerly lowered him down, before grabbing a few pillows and blankets.
Marshall watched him spread the blankets across the couch. When he was satisfied, he gently tucked a pillow under his head, and then wrapped a fuzzy blanket around his thin frame.
"I'm going to make you something to eat, alright? Then I'll go clean up the mess."
Marshall didn't even realize there was a puddle of his own blood still in the kitchen until now. His lips quivered, and Lawrence pressed another kiss on his head, making his breathing even out again.
"Sorry I messed up your day."
Lawrence smiled sadly. "You didn't mess up my day, you could never. But we're going to have a conversation about listening to me. That's all you need to do, kiddo. If I tell you not to do something, it's because I have a good reason. I'm just trying to take care of you."
Marshall nodded, allowing Lawrence to leave. He was tired of getting into arguments with him about the 'listening' thing.
It wasn't worth it anymore. He'd never win.
He tried to get comfortable on the couch, but all he could think about was the gaping wound in his leg and the pounding headache that hadn't gone away.
Marshall allowed himself to be fed chicken noodle soup for lunch. He stayed laying on the sofa, trying to focus on the TV and the sound of Lawrence washing the dishes. He had just taken his medicine, so he hoped it would kick in soon and his body would start relaxing.
He felt a tear slip down his cheek. He tried wiping it away with his arm, but more just came out. It was humiliating, and he was ashamed of himself.
Lawrence's face softened when he saw his reddened eyes. He finished drying off the bowl and quickly crossed the room. He knelt beside him, stroking his hair away from his eyes. "Oh, honey, what's wrong?"
"I'm just stressed and in pain, 's all." He sniffled.
"Is there anything I can do to make you feel better?"
He wiped his tears again. "Can you hug me? I just-- I don't like being alone right now."
Lawrence didn't hesitate for a second, shuffling onto the couch to hold him in his arms. He stroked his hair and spoke sweet nothings into his ear, occasionally planting kisses on his head. He'd never feel comfortable being vulnerable like this with any person. Even when he was an actual kid, his parents didn't show him this much affection.
He pulled back. "My poor baby," he crooned, squeezing his cheeks between his fingers. He pushed the brown locks of hair behind his ears. "Are you ready for a nap, kiddo? Or do you need more cuddles first?"
"Cuddles."
"Of course. C'mere, Marshie." He shifted around on the couch so Marshall could lay atop of him. Lawrence buried his nose in his hair and continued to stroke his head. Marshall clung to his sweater, drifting off to Lawrence's heartbeat.
