Heir To The Lands Chapter 38
Masterpost Grateful For What We Have
Tessa showed Tavi and Ty the spot where she had put an extra litterbox, so Irene and Shadowcat could still do their thing once it was nighttime as Tessa was very strict on the house being locked tight when everyone was asleep. "If you want, I can clean the litterbox every morning Mrs. Grey, Shadowcat is very skittish and has never left the New Academy building, which is one of the reasons Headmaster Garroway allowed him to stay in the first place. I'm used to cleaning a litterbox as soon as I wake up." Tavi informed her, and Tessa smiled at the girl. "Thank you, I suppose I will not interfere with your routine then." Tessa couldn't help but be reminded of Christopher Lightwood as she gazed at the two and couldn't help but wonder if he had been autistic too. It would explain a lot. "Your cat did disappear like a shadow. " Ty said, trying to break the ice between him and one of Dru's friends. "He does. He hates strangers. My mom always used to say Shadowcat was as autistic as I am." Tavi explained, her voice sounding sad. Ty looked at her and vaguely recalled something. "Your mother was one of the casualties of Livvy's Watch, wasn't she?" Tavi's lip trembled as she nodded. "And everyone else remained in Idris. They couldn't stand to be parted from the Boomkikker heirlooms and they didn't cared enough about my mom to hate the Cohort. My father had been planning to divorce her anyways." She tried to push back the tears stinging in her eyes and Tessa felt so sorry for the young girl, having been abandoned by her family like that. So many Shadowhunter families preferred to stick to their pride rather then their children, and Tessa had always found it to be one of the most disappointing aspects of the old Clave. "Have you been staying with the Grünlichts?" Tessa inquired, and the girl nodded. "For the weekends, I did. Before going to the New Academy I would stay at the Zwolle Institute during the weeks. As you might be aware, the Boomkikkers are the first and eldest Dutch Shadowhunting family. We've been carrying so many Institute duties for centuries and now that everyone is gone I am the only one who has the knowledge of things like the digital banking my aunt Els set up through a werewolf working at the Rabobank now that digital money transfers have taken over the game. No matter how often I try to teach the head of the Institute about computers, they just keep making huge errors. I might be absent on occasion as I'm still on digital administration tasks." Ty was met with a rude awakening. He and Livvy had been great with computers and he liked to think they had been a talented team. He hadn't realized others with a similar skillset as himself had already been recruited by the adults in charge to take on heavy responsibilities regarding the digital era. She sounded like Julian had once upon a time, and Ty couldn't help but feel awkward as someone who had been lucky enough to have a loving family that allowed him to pursue his dreams with his skillset rather then making him bear responsbilities around the Institute with them. Ty didn't really knew what to say so he left Tavi and Tessa to converse a bit more.
Ty laid down together with Kit on his bed, thinking things over. "You look like you have something on your mind. Do you wish to share your thoughts with me?" Kit asked, his blue eyes looking into his grey ones. "I was just thinking, how lucky I am to have my family. They always let me be whoever they wanted me to be, Julian's been so great to me. It didn't really occur to me how others like myself can be treated when they're less fortunate." Kit figured he must be talking about about Dru's autistic friend. "A good family is hard to find. Trust me, it took me 15 years until I got one." Ty looked at the ceiling. "Were you lonely?" "Sometimes, I was." Kit admitted. "I'm sorry that we can't hold our first date soon, with everything going on." Ty said, feeling bad to deprive Kit of love that he so deeply deserved. "It's okay. Honestly, I never would have thought anyone would love me enough to fight for me the way you have or my foster parents do. I'm grateful that you saved me." Kit confessed as he carefully laid his head on top of Ty's chest, and the raven haired boy smoothed back his blonde locks with nothing but tenderness.

hi, i have an ask about sleep if that's okay! um basically i have a very disordered schedule and things are overall hectic for me (in terms of everyday situations i go through as well as just… the inside of my brain and my thoughts, pretty much). so it's been hard for me to keep consistent times for sleeping and waking up, and i wanted to hear how you manage that type of stuff, if it's alright with you.
i know you use a mood tracker app (i actually got the same one after seeing you use it and reached my 30 day milestone today). how much is your time scheduled out, if you don't mind me asking? do you set reminders for yourself to get things done by a certain time or is it more like, trying to get things done at some point during the day/night but not having an exact time set for it?
i've heard a main key to sleeping better is to have a strict and consistent schedule for things like - winding down, taking nighttime meds, going to bed, waking up early, etc. and i feel like it's a struggle for people with trauma because (at least in my case) i never know how i'm going to feel, what thoughts or flashbacks are going to creep up on me, how stable i'm going to be feeling throughout the day, etc.
basically i just wanted to know how you handle schedules/routines so that maybe i can get some useful ideas, even though i know different things work for different people, but it's just something i've been finding tough. i really wish you a lot of positivity and good vibes, and hope everything has been going okay! i'm sending so much love your way, please keep taking care of yourself!
ngl i don’t know why people come to me about sleep stuff haha because we Struggle with sleep every night. it’s 3:30am and i’ve done all my usual night time sleep things to ready me for sleep and even been tired all day but now im Wired and i’ve been cleaning my apartment like a maniac. the usual sleep hygiene doesn’t usually work for me tbh and my onset of sleepiness comes at random times during the day now and i need to nap and try and hold off until night time but then by then im usually not that tired anymore. i truly wish i had good advice to give, more than i’ve offered in other asks, but i’m out of ideas to think of 😅
i’m with you thought that having a strict schedule doesn’t help us at all, especially not with sleep. we have to stay flexible and take rest and sleep when we can get it and still don’t feel rested ahah
i wish i could help more i’m sorry! i’m sending you so so so much hope and warmth and safety in your sleep friend, you deserve it, and i hope you find the rest you need and deserve!!!

THE RENDEZVOUS | Angeal Hewley/ Reader
PART ONE | 18+ reader insert | Eventual Smut
The Rendezvous is a nighttime-only establishment that opens at 7:00pm, and operates as a standard lounge style club until 1:00am, after which it changes tone to a lower to middle-class or “affordable” sex club. The bar staff, like yourself are not expected to work in any other capacity other than making and serving drinks and your new boss assured you that the club has a strict consent policy policed by the security team. At your interview he handed you some contact paperwork, as well as some general “uniform” inspiration imagery, your access card and keys, he had explained to you that as a member of staff you have unlimited access to all establishment spaces (other than his own office of course) to use as you wish. Today your shift was 7:00 to 11:00, giving you plenty of time to get home before the other activities began.
You flicked your hand up, silencing your alarm, 4:45pm, 2 hours before you had to leave for your shift, you had been working at the club for a few weeks now, at 4 shifts per week, and so far you thankfully had not bumped into anyone from Shinra, anyone except your classmate Lex who worked alongside you at the bar, it was fun to relax with her and gossip about the goings on at the company.
You breezed through your before-shift routine, making sure to eat a filling dinner, packing your lunch and changes of clothes (you had learnt pretty quickly that an extra set of clothes or two is a pretty good idea when you are servicing drunken customers who are prone to spill their drinks on you occasionally. You zip up your favourite dress, it fits so perfectly, hugging you in all the right places, you style your hair and put on your makeup. You feel and look amazing.
You walk into the staff room of the club and put your bags away in your locker before walking out to the bar, Lex was already there.
“Hey Y/N!, you look smokin’”, you smiled at her whilst jumping over the bar to join her “you expecting someone tonight or something? What’s got you looking so flash?” She jested, knowing full well you weren’t perusing anyone at that time.
“Very funny, Lex, unlike some people around here, I wouldn’t have a hook-up at work” gesturing to some of the other workers with your head “not to shame them or anything, just not my thing, you know?”.
“Yeah I hear you” Lex replied, leaning on the bar next to you “surely you have someone that you would break your personal morals for though?” she asked, a smile crossing her face and raising an eyebrow at you. “Personally I have always been fond of the head of Urban Development”
“Oh you mean Mr Tuesti?, I can’t say I blame you, he’s not my type personally but he’s not bad on the eyes” you replied, eyes scanning over the first customers entering the club.
You and Lex had a pretty fool-proof system of filling drink trays for the other workers to hand out on the floor and in the seats. You sped through about 10 more trays before Lex continued the conversation.
“Well?” She looked at you inquisitively,
“well.....what?” You looked back confused.
Laughing and shaking her head Lex responded “who would make you drop your morals! If you had one night with anyone...no, if you were to have anyone wanna walk through that door and ask for your ‘personal services’ who would you say yes to?”.
You stopped to think for a second, your mind scanning through all the people you have found attractive over the years; your 10th grade crush, that one coworker you had back in the slums, the lead of last years Loveless performance, the 1st class SOLDIER operatives. You felt yourself blush madly as your mind scanned over the idea of him, you’d always found him attractive, but since starting at Shinra and seeing him around the main building, you had to admit that your innocent little crush had developed into something a lot more x-rated, reflecting on the sex toy you recently purchased to help relieve your frustrations. You are snapped out of your imagination by the sound of your friend laughing
“Ha! So there IS someone that you’d take to one of our ‘special’ back rooms” she suggested, winking at you, “I bet I know who it is~” she teased.
You laughed back at her, a bit embarrassed, the truth is, she probably knows EXACTLY who entered your brain, after all, she was with you the other day when you got lost in the main building.
You had both been sent to deliver some paperwork to the different department heads, the Turks, SOLDIER, urban development and research. You both had decided to leave the SOLDIER director, Lazard, for last, he was almost always in the same place and often kept you both for a chat when you found yourself in his offices. As much as you both enjoy your classes, it’s a little bit more enjoyable to hang around the barracks for a little while, you don’t often get to explore that area in your study and hey, watching the Shinra army train isn’t exactly a bad view either. This visitation was FAR from an exception to the norm when two of the friendly 3rd classes, Kunsel and Cloud informed you that you could find Lazard in the bases gym.
“I wonder what Lazard is actually doing in the gym” you wondered out loud
“he doesn’t exactly come across as the work-out type, does he?” Lex responded, laughing at the thought.
You eventually found Lazard standing in the gym reviewing some paperwork whilst in deep discussion with a very familiar face,
“ holy shit “ Lex whispered to you under her breath “that’s Genesis Rhapsodos, right?”
You nodded back to her as your eyes met his, a sly smile spreading across his face,
“Well hello there, ladies” he greeted you with a voice, smooth like butter.
Lazard looked up from his paperwork and smiled warmly at you both
“Ah! Y/N, Alexis, I was hoping they would send you both with the mission reports, I’m just about finished here with the 1sts, I’d ask for your momentary patience.”
You smiled at him
“Of course director! We are more than happy to wait” you both sat on an nearby bench to wait.
You frowned at Lex, noticing that she was looking around the room as if she was looking for something, or someone. You caught her scanning eyes with your own confused look
“Didn’t Lazard say 1sts ,as in, multiple? I can only see 2nd classes other than Gen-
Your attention was drawn away by the opening of the shower doors behind her, looking up at the the shirtless form in-front of you drying his raven hair with a towel. Your eyes slowly scan up the mans large muscular form, water droplets still trickling down his tight abs, a fresh gleam over his chest as the smell of fresh soap hit you. Angeal Hewley. Steam still sneaking off his skin, your eyes finally land on his face... a face that is looking down at you, his sharp mako-blue eyes staring into your soul, you felt yourself stiffen up as the heat rushed to your face. He raised an eyebrow and smirked, looking your frozen body up and down before walking off to join Lazard and Genesis. You’d be lying if you denied using that memory to get off recently.
“I wanna hear you say it, Y/N, you’d be under Angeal in a heart beat wouldn’t you?”
She laughed. You composed yourself, placing your hands on you hips, looking at your friend
“Honestly Lex...... I would break so many laws to have that man throw me against a wall, respectfully of course”
“Of course, respectfully” she laughed.
11:00pm came around pretty quickly, you and Lex decided that with two hours to spare, it wouldn’t be a terrible idea to stick around and dance for a while, leaving before the x-rated activities began of course.
That smile.
The damned smile had you weak at the knees, you almost hated that a smile alone would make you say yes to anything... almost.
You had already decided that you were not drinking anymore tonight, you had already had 5 glasses of your standard drink, more than enough to have you tipsy and confident. You had decided, in your infinite wisdom that regardless of the SOLDIER's presence you and Lex were going to dance like they weren't.
Okay
Maybe you were going to dance like it was only Angeal and you in the whole club, your hands feeling your body, swaying provocatively to the rhythm of the night. And honestly, you couldn't have a better hype girl by your side, she supported this sexy performance, even if it was only just that, an act. She was a pretty good teacher too, instructing you to take some quick shy glances in Angeal's direction when she caught him watching you, your performance became so familiar that you were soon dancing and giving him looks as if he'd paid for a private performance. More than a few times you had seen him shift in his seat at the lounge whilst watching your movements, it was about 12:15, you thought when you looked over and saw he was gone from his seat, having left Sephiroth and Zack there, actually on further inspection, Genesis was gone too. You frowned and continued dancing, turning back to face your friend. As you did, almost in the same split second your eyes landed on Genesis' who had appeared behind her, you were taken back by the feeling of two large arms wrapping around your waist from behind, hot breath falling into the nape of your neck.
"Lost something, sweetheart?" the rough deep voice echoed through your ears. Perhaps your performance had worked a little too well. You turned around slowly, looking up at him, his arms not moving from your body, his hands now resting on your ass.
"It would seem our little friend here isn't so confident in her performance with the audience up close and personal" Genesis cooed from behind you.
"That's disappointing, it looked so tempting from a distance that I thought I might come and join in the fun" Angeal smirked down at you, tightening his grip on your ass and pulling your body tight against his own. The smell of his cologne attacks your senses. No, you weren't going to let yourself fall into being shy right now, if he wants to play, dammit you can play right back. You reached your arms up and linked your hands behind his neck, smiling innocently up at him, you leaned up a tiny bit and stepped toward him with one foot. You feel him move one of his hands to your upper back a begin to move his face towards yours, just what you were after. With his guard dropped and expecting to feel your soft lips touch his own he closed his eyes, in response, you swiftly moved your leg against him, putting pressure on his clothed cock before moving your leg upwards slowly causing him to gasp, just the reaction you were seeking. What you didn't expect though was to feel his obvious arousal so clearly though his pants, so clear and so shockingly large, your shock must have been written all over your face. His expression quickly changed to a seductive smile, “What’s wrong baby? Bite off more than you think you can handle?”

House Arrest [Reader X Loki] Chapter 3
Summary: You are Clint’s 'little' sister and actually a trained Shield agent. But you gave that up a few years ago and became a Chef, because you wanted a normal live. Then one day Natasha shows up at your door and takes you to the Avenger Tower for a while for security reasons.

Read it on AO3
Chapter 3: Nighttime pancakes
The next few days you got to know everything a little better: The tower, the Avengers - as far as they were present and showed themselves - and the rest of the staff that you ran into from time to time. You also discovered that the tower had its own training halls. Actually this was just logical given the team that lives here. Often when you were out and about in the building, you got the faint feeling of being watched. It was a little disturbing, but you dismissed it by saying that the environment was still new to you. Also, you had learned that JARVIS had access to all the public rooms and most of them were probably video monitored too. You weren’t sure about your own quarters yet, but you were also not sure if you wanted to know the answer.
Unfortunately the nights are very long, because you sleep very badly here. Despite the short time, you miss walking outside, through the streets, and besides, you are used to a rather strict daily routine. Sure, it's nice to switch off for a few days and not have to do anything. A little vacation, so to speak. But you're someone who soon gets bored with that. You chose a profession that requires you to spend hours running around the kitchen, preparing dishes and finishing orders for a reason after all. The price of your now lazy life is that you toss and turn in your bed at night without really being tired. Maybe there are some additional worries that keep you awake. For example, the Hydra question that was still unresolved.
This night you turn from side to side again, sighing, and at some point take a look at the digital alarm clock. Its digits glowing a light red in the darkness. It's three in the morning. Or night. Depending on how you see it. After a few more unsuccessful tries to sleep, you give up and decide to roam the halls a bit. Just walking around and stretching your legs. Outside, it's quiet. Only the soft whirring of some working machines can be heard. The corridors are discreetly lit, so you have no trouble finding your way, which leads you into the large lobby. It’s actually the first time since your arrival that you find it completely empty. Still, you have the familiar feeling that you are not alone. Jarvis probably never sleeps.
Out of habit, you end up in the kitchen and take a bored look into the fridge. Nothing in there appeals to you, but you're not really hungry either. Not even for a little snack. Still, you feel like cooking. Maybe pancakes. You could eat them for breakfast later. Without thinking too long about it, you get a bowl from the cupboard and tie an apron around yourself, which you have obligatory lying here by now. Flour, milk and eggs are quickly mixed and a few other ingredients are added for flavor. You put some butter in a pan on the stove. When it became liquid, you start to fry the first pancake and gradually got more and more, so that you quickly have a respectable pile together. Quietly, you hum to yourself.
"It's been a long time since anyone has been here at this hour”, you suddenly hear an unfamiliar voice behind you. Surprised, you whirl around, holding a knife that had been lying next to the stove. A dark-haired man in a green shirt is standing by the kitchen island, watching your actions curiously. When he sees the knife, he raises both hands to calm you down. On each of his arms you notice a narrow silver hoop with a red dot flashing. You hadn't heard a door, and you're not sure how long he's been standing there. "What’s your deal? Can’t sleep?", you ask him. "Just like you apparently." You raise an eyebrow and set the knife aside as the pancakes demand your attention. "You're Loki, aren't you?" It's more of a statement than a question, and the man nods. "And you're the archer's sister", he respond, which makes you in turn nod. "I‘m Y/N, pleasure to meet you." "You don't often hear that as a prisoner", he says amused, but still keeps eye on you, waiting for your reaction. "Heard about it. I guess we're sitting in the same boat." "Oh, really?" "Well, I probably won't be tasered right away if I try to leave the building." "Probably?", Loki follows up. "Yeah, I'm not entirely sure about that."
You talk for a while until you hear the elevator ping quietly in the lobby. But you're not paying attention right now, as you're busy scraping the last bit of dough out of the bowl and then turning off the stove. "Would you like some?" you ask Loki, turning to him only to find that he has disappeared. Taken aback, you turn your attention to the room next door, where you hear muffled voices. Then the door opens. "THAT'S what I call a nice welcome," Clint grins, looking at the stack of pancakes. "Brother dear", you greet him equally pleased and surprised at his unexpected appearing. Smiling, you walk up to him and hug him. Along with him, Steve Rogers, whom you've also already seen on the news as Captain America, came in. He seems a little confused at first, but after you fill him in on who you are, he welcomes you as well.
"What are you doing here?" your brother then asks you. "You can see that. I'm making breakfast for you." "No, I mean, what are you doing here?" He specifies the question with a gesture that included all the surroundings as well as the Tower. "Oh..." It's clearly too middle of the night for you to be that precise. In a few words, you explain your situation. Clint has some encouraging words for you, but can understand that you are not enthusiastic. "At least we can get more on each other's nerves again. Why don't you start right now and join us while we eat?", he laugh, putting his arm around your shoulder in a brotherly fashion as he pushes you toward the stove. You have to laugh, too. "You mean while you eat my breakfast." "Exactly." You go get two plates from the cupboard and serve the men each a good stack of pancakes with maple syrup. They thank you and the group of you make yourselves comfortable at the kitchen island. "Where and how do you guys usually eat here?", you ask in the meantime. "We each order our own food. Probably have a flat rate with all the suppliers in the neighborhood," Clint explains. Steves' gaze is on you questioningly. "Don't you want some pancakes, too?" "In the middle of the night? No thanks, I'm not hungry." "Then why did you made them, if you don't mind me asking?" "I knew you'd come and could use something in your stomach", you reply with a serious expression, to which Steve shoots first you and then your brother a scrutinizing look. He’d seen enough weird shit while working with the Avengers to take such a statement quite seriously. And he wonders whether you, unlike Hawkeye, have superpowers. But only until you can no longer stifle the broad grin, because his facial expression is just too funny.
Before you can say anything, though, Clint interjects. "As siblings, we've just developed some sort of telepathic ability." You nod in agreement. "Exactly. That's how I always know when he's going to say something stupid and deserve a head butt." "To be honest, I never heard him talk about you before”, Steve admits. "See”, you wink, "It‘s working out just fine." You laugh, and while they continue to eat, Clint tells you about the mission they just came from.
Afterwards, you put another stack of pancakes on a plate to take it with you back to the lobby. "Hungry now, are you?", your brother asks you, clearly tired after the long journey and at this late hour. Just as the super soldier. "Maybe”, you answer shortly and wish them both a good night. The greeting comes back double and you head into the large lobby with the elevators. "Jarvis?" "Yes, Miss Barton?" "Where is Loki's apartment?", you ask the computer. "You are not exactly authorized to receive this information." "I just want to get him something to eat."
You raise the plate in your hands a little higher and apparently your answer is analyzed, because for a few seconds there is silence. But then you get the information you want and are directed to the door you are looking for. It was on another floor and at the end of a long corridor.
You knock, but at first there is no response. So you try again. "Come on, my prince, I know you're not asleep and it's rude to leave a lady at a locked door." You hear an amused sound from the other side and shortly after the door is opened. With his arms crossed, Loki stands before you. "It's also rude to disturb a prince in the middle of the night, M’Lady", he replies. "Rude would be to refuse a dinner from a lady. Especially when she personally hands it to you", you add, giving him the plate. It's impossible for you to tell if he's amused or annoyed as he looks from you to the pancakes in his hand. "I never said I wanted any“, he states. "But you didn't say you didn't want them, either. Just give them a try. I'm pretty good at cooking." With that, you turn to go. "Good night, dear prince," you wish him, but without turning around. So you miss the grin on Loki's face as he closes the door.

Summer at the Burrow / r.w. fan fiction

Chapter 10: You Would be Fine
Tumblr media
Author’s Note: Hi everyone! Thank you so much for all the love and support for this fic, it means so much to me :) Get prepared because this chapter is a lengthy one (about 4,200 words I think...oops). Also, the gif has nothing to do with the chapter I just thought Ron looked really cute lol. Okay anyways enjoy!!!
You were fine. Really you were.
Every time Hermione or Ginny gave you a concerned look while passing, you could easily plaster on an "I'm-good-everything-is-good-thanks-for-asking" smile onto your face.
In reality though, your heart hurt ever damn day.
About 2 weeks ago, Ron broke your heart. Under the oak tree outside, he told you that whatever happened between you was a mistake. Mistake. So instead of moping around for the rest of your summer vacation, you tried to be happy. During the day time you would laugh and joke with the Weasleys, help make meals, finish your school work, and do chores. But at night is when you finally let yourself feel your heartbreak. Once everyone fell asleep, you would creep down the stairs and sit underneath the oak tree, and cry.
It was therapeutic, kind of. With each passing night, you felt better. Yes, it still hurt seeing Ron's freckled face every morning at breakfast. And it still made your skin and body ache when he accidentally brushed up next to you in the tight kitchen. But you were okay.
You knew that if you let Ron fully see how heartbroken you were, it would change the dynamic between you. You were best friends, and nothing more. No matter how much you loved him, that's all you would ever be. Instead of jeopardizing the friendship you had come to cherish so greatly, you simply suppressed your love for Ron so you could maintain it. And it was working, king of.
The night after your heartbreak at the oak tree, you started treating Ron exactly as you had before you came to the Burrow, before you had let your emotions run wild. He reciprocated this and before long, you were best friends again. You played Quidditch on each other's team, joked around with Fred and George, tried the newest Weasley Wizard Wheezes products (though you stayed away from the love potions), and played wizard's chess together. Although your heart still skipped a beat whenever Ron leaned closer to you, everything was back to normal with your best friend.
Over the past 2 weeks, you had been alternating between sleeping in Ginny's room for sleepovers, the bed in the attic, or the couch in the living room. Ron didn't offer his room to you again, which made you sad but you understood. If you were alone with him late at night when your emotions were high, your cover of "nope-i-don't-love-him-we-are-just-best-friends" was going out the window. So you stuck to your usual 3 beds.
That morning, you had awoken from the attic bed bright and early. Hermione had been getting the girls up at 8am for the past 2 weeks so that you could finish your school work early in the morning and have the rest of the day to relax. Although you hated her every morning for this, you were glad she had such a strict regimen because you had all finished your homework yesterday. Now, for the rest of the summer you were homework free.
By now you were so used to waking up early that it was no longer a surprise for anyone to see you help cook breakfast with Mrs Weasley. Besides Hermione, you two were usually the first awake and in the kitchen right away. This morning was no different as you padded down the creaky wooden steps into the kitchen.
"Good morning Mrs Weasley," you greeted her, tying an apron around your waist. There were four aprons in the Weasley house; a floral one designated for Mrs Weasley, a dark blue one for Mr Weasley when he would attempt to use a muggle grill, a plain white one for whoever decided to help cook, and a yellow one with stars for you. Mrs Weasley even spelled your name, y/n, on the edge in elegant cursive.
"For my newest child," she has said when she showed it to you. She pinched your cheeks, the way she did with all of her kids, and the action almost made you tear up. You threw your arms around her in a tight hug and thanked her profusely.
Mrs Weasley smiled approvingly at you as you started on the breakfast. As the usual morning rhythm took place, you cherished the routine of cracking the eggs, putting them in pans, flipping them, and then doing the same thing again and again.
But soon, Mrs Weasley's voice broke the silence. "Sweetheart, what happened with Ron?" she asked.
Your head snapped up from the frying pan, your eyes meeting Mrs Weasley's. She looked at you with motherly concern, and for some reason you couldn't look at her loving face and lie to her.
"I don't think he feels the same way that I do about him," you stated, turning your attention back to cooking.
Mrs Weasley huffed. "Well, my son has never been the sharpest boy, as you know," she said. You giggled, though you were still sad, and she smiled at you. "Maybe things will change honey," she told you, "love happens unexpectedly."
Before you got the chance to reply, thundering footsteps sounded from the staircase. You whipped your head around to see the twins barreling down the steps, practically tripping over one another in their hurry.
"Where's the fire?" you asked.
Fred ran across the room, picked you up around the waist, and spun you around.
"Percy's home! His work is called off for the week because of his birthday!" He shouted excitedly. You laughed, swatting at him with your spatula until he set you down.
"I didn't know you two were so excited to see your brother," Mrs Weasley noted, fixing her sons with a stern and skeptical stare.
"Oh mother, we're not," George replied.
"We're excited to mess with him for a week straight," Fred added with the largest grin you had ever seen.
As soon as the words left his mouth, more of a promise than anything else, the front door swung open and in entered the most prestigious Weasley of the house. With his rigorous work schedule, you hadn't seen Percy once this entire summer. But now, here he was, standing in the kitchen in a three piece suit with a pocket watch and shiny black shoes at 8 in the morning.
"Hi Percy," you said, trying your best not to laugh at the long tail of his suit coat.
"What the hell are you wearing?" Fred asked, his face shocked as he took in Percy's outfit. George's face was bright red as he held in his laughter.
"This," Percy said, unironically spinning so everyone could see his outfit, "Is traditional Muggle-wear. As I climb higher in the Ministry's success ladder, sometimes I have to encounter Muggles, so I must dress accordingly. This particular suit was a gift from one of my many clients."
He turned to you and you tried to wipe the teasing smile off your face. "Y/n, this is what muggles wear to their jobs, isn't it?" he asked.
You schooled your features into seriousness. "Oh yes," you responded, "definitely."
At that moment, Ron, Harry, Ginny, and Hermione stumbled down the stairs, looking like they had just woken up. Everyone stayed up late last night playing nighttime Quidditch (an especially difficult yet fun game considering the fact that you can't see the bludgers because of how dark it is).  
Ron froze when he saw Percy standing in the kitchen, his shoes so shiny they were reflecting the kitchen lights into the eyes of anyone who looked at them.
"Bloody hell, what happened to your clothes?" he asked incredulously. Him and Harry shared a look and then burst out in laughter.
Percy's ears turned pink at the tips as he huffed before sitting down in one of the chairs around the kitchen table. You and Mrs Weasley decorated the center of the table with plate after plate of delicious warm breakfast food. Proud of your hard work, you took off your apron and sat down next to Percy.
Ron sat down next to you as the others joined the table.
"For your information, Ronald, your girlfriend says my clothes are the proper Muggle attire," Percy said, glaring at his little brother.
"She's not my girlfriend," Ron responded, his ears turning pink now too.
"How's Penelope?" you asked Percy before you could let yourself get too caught up in the fact that you really wanted Ron's response to that question to be different.
Percy smiled at the mention of his longtime girlfriend, who had been a Prefect at Hogwarts with him. "Oh she's fantastic," Percy said before launching into a long-winded story about Penelope's latest project she was working on at the ministry. Words such as "top-secret" "highly important" and "imperative job" floated past your ears.
Ron leaned closer to you and mumbled in your ear, "I wish you hadn't asked him that."
"Me too," you whispered back, giggling behind your hand.
As breakfast began, you were proud of all the compliments you received on your cooking. Waking up early to cook with Mrs Weasley was a part of the day you always looked forward too, and the compliments only made you feel better about it.
After everyone finished eating, and cleared their plates, chairs scraped against the wood of the floor as everyone prepared to go about their daily business.
"Wait!" Percy shouting, using his wand to spell everyone back into their chairs. "Nobody leave this table until we discuss my birthday party details."
Theses past few weeks your brain had been so focused on Ron that you had forgotten Percy's huge birthday party that was taking place at the Burrow next week. From the guilty expressions of everyone else around the table, you could tell they had forgotten too.
"I want this party to be perfect," Percy said. "My bosses are coming to this party, as is Penelope, so I will not tolerate any shenanigans." He fixed his eyes on the twins and gave them an icy glare. "I mean it, no funny business."
Fred and George saluted him, shouting "yes mother" before jumping out of their chairs and running to their room. A memory flashed in your head from the beginning of summer. The twins were showing you fireworks in their room, "special fireworks for Percy's party" they had said. There was definitely going to be some shenanigans taking place.
Increasingly interested about what kind of pranks the twins were going to pull on Percy, you excused yourself from the table and followed them upstairs. You were about to knock on their door before it swung open and Fred dragged you inside.
"Can I have a sneak peek?" you asked them giddily as soon as the door closed behind you. Apart from the twins, you were the most excited about their funny products and pranks they always pulled. You knew Percy's party wasn't going to disappoint.
Instead of reciprocating your excitement, the twins traded nervous glances.
"What is it?" you asked them. You felt a strange sense of deja vu to the time when they picked you up to drive you to the Burrow in the beginning of summer. They were hiding something from you then, and they were certainly hiding something from you now.
"So we take it you're not going to tell Ron about your unconditional love for him anytime soon?" George asked, rubbing the back of his neck with a sheepish expression on his face. Fred was ringing his hands nervously next to him.
"That is correct," you responded flatly.
"Well, you see," Fred began, "When we ordered these special fireworks for Percy's party, we assumed you two would be dating and in love by the time of the party. And the thing is, there's no refunds on the fireworks, so we kind of have to use them." He spoke so fast that the words were tumbling together in your head.
"Okay...what does that mean? What do the fireworks have to do with Ron and I?" you asked, getting increasingly more upset by the moment.
The twins must have sensed your anger because they traded a quick glance before assuring you "Okay, never mind, love, everything is under control," Fred promised.
"Yep, totally under control," George said, steering you out of the room. You didn't even register what they were saying before you were standing in the hallway.
"What aren't you telling me?" you asked, eyes narrowing into a glare at the twins.
They both gulped nervously.
"Don't worry about it, y/n, everything is fine. Percy's party will be full of lots of laughs and fun," Fred promised, before promptly shutting the door in your face. Once again, you got deja vu.
And with that, you left the twins room, feeling even more confused about your relationship with Ron than ever.
                                                                                              ...
The next week was frantic, hectic, and insane as you all scrambled to prepare for Percy's big party. Decorations needed to be made, food needed to be cooked, and you totally forgot to get Percy a present. After a day trip to Diagon Alley, you had returned home with a bag of more owl food for Dite and a magical watch for Percy. Despite all of the high energy and excitement in the house, the twins words still weighed on you. The party was quickly approaching and you had yet to "confess your unconditional love" to Ron. What would happen if you didn't? You didn't even want to think about it.
It was the night before Percy's party, and you were in the garden helping Bill string up lights around the outdoor tables. You and Bill had been spending a lot more time together over the past week. Bill had always opted to help you in whatever decoration or cooking you were tasked with for that day. Although you could tell that made Ron grumpy, you tried to ignore it. Your feelings were confusing enough without trying to unpack Ron's jealousy at the moment.
You wobbled on the chair you were standing on as you tied the last string of lights around the nearest tree branch. After you finished, you put your hands on your hips and took a look around the garden. It looked amazing. 10 tables were arranged in a neat circle around the yard, completed with white table clothes and centerpieces with Percy's photo in the middle. You bought a couple packs of muggle Christmas lights to hang from the trees to illuminate the area, which Mr Weasley was very happy about. He spent about 2 hours asking you about the mechanics behind muggle electricity.
There was a long table for the buffet to be served at and a short circular table for Percy's gifts to be placed on. At the corner of the garden the twins had set up a firing booth for the fireworks. To be totally honest, the decoration fit more for a wedding than a birthday party, but Percy wanted things to be perfect, so the family followed his decoration ideas to a tee.
While being distracted by observing your handiwork, you weren't really paying attention to what was happening behind you. This was unfortunate because Harry and Ron were practicing disarming charms right behind you.
"Y/n, look out!" you heard someone yell behind you. Whipping around towards the voice, you saw a red ball of sparks sailing towards you from the end of Harry's wand. How did Harry always manage to accidentally attack you?
You dove from your chair to avoid the sparks, and were fully expecting to land roughy in the grass. Instead, you felt strong arms wrap around you to prevent you from hitting the ground. You looked up to see none other than Bill Weasley as your knight in shining armour.
"Thanks," you said quietly.
Bill didn't let his arms drop from around you.
"Anytime," he replied with a grin. His arms were still wrapped around you when you heard angry footsteps marching towards you.
"Get your hands off her, you prat," you heard Ron's voice say. Bill's arms dropped from your sides as you both turned to face Ron.
"Calm down, Ron," Bill told him.
Ron glared at his older brother. "Stop flirting with her, she's my best friend," he said sternly.
Your heart hurt. You wanted Ron to be jealous because he liked you, not because you were just his best friend.
"He can flirt with me if he wants." The words were out of your mouth before you could even filter it.
Ron's gaze snapped towards you and you almost had to take a step back from their intensity.  "Do you want him to?" He asked you, his voice strained.
The answer was easy. No. You knew you didn't want Bill to flirt with you. He had been your first crush and he was beyond attractive, but he wasn't Ron. The only person you wanted was Ron. You said those words not because you wanted Bill, but because you wanted Ron to stop acting possessive if he didn't even love you back. It just hurt too much for him to act like your boyfriend if he was never going to be.
"Ron, I'm sorry," Bill said, mediating the situation. "I know you and y/n have something together, I shouldn't have overstepped. I'm sorry. It won't happen again."
It won't happen again.
That's exactly what Ron told you after the night he had taken the love potion. The night that made you believe that maybe he did have the same feelings for you. But in the end, he regretted the moment that you had loved so much.
It won't happen again.
Tears crowded your vision and you tried your best to blink them away, you were not about to cry in front of him and show him just how much power he had over you and your emotions. But soon there were hot tears slipping down your cheeks and there was nothing you could do to stop it.
Bill and Harry exchanged nervous glances as you and Ron just continued staring at each other. They both took a couple steps away to give you and Ron the space you needed to hash things out. Ron was breathing heavily, obviously still angry from the flirting between you and his brother. But you were angry too, angry that he didn't want you the way you wanted him.
"I don't want you flirting with my brother," he said, his intense gaze never leaving yours.
You rolled your eyes, "It's not your choice if I do."
Ron bristled at your comment, taking another step closer to you. You could practically feel the heat and anger radiating off of him.
"You know, you've really been pissing me off these past couple weeks," he said. "You prance around making breakfast in the mornings, but in reality all you're doing is trying to get with Bill. It's so fucking frustrating! I'm your best friend, we were supposed to be together every day you visited, but instead you found someone better to spend your time with."
God, he was thick.  You told him that.
"I'm not trying to get with Bill, you dumb git!" you shouted back. Why couldn't he see that he was the only one you wanted. Bill hadn't even crossed your mind this summer, your heart was too full of Ron as it is.
At this point, you were practically nose to nose with him, your shouting words bringing you closer and closer towards each other.
Ron mimicked you from earlier and rolled his eyes. It was beyond infuriating. You set your jaw and clenched your hands as you tried not to yell more.
"Oh of course you're not. You just spend every waking moment with him and barely hang out with me, but sure you're not trying to get with him," he said, sarcasm dripping from his voice.
Now it was your turn to get angry. "Oh really? I'm the one to blame right now?" You shouted at him. The words were hot rolling off your tongue.
"You're the one who treats me so poorly! You cuddle me in your bed, and then run out the next morning. You almost kiss me and then act like it didn't happen! You told me what happened in your room was a mistake," the last sentence flew out of you, the anger just boiling and boiling up towards your breaking point.
Even though you knew it wouldn't do you any good, you kept talking. "Don't you dare try to put blame on me for this summer going to shit, because it's not my fault Ron! It's not my fault you're jealous of Bill, it's not my fault things aren't the same between us, and it's not my fault you don't love me back!"
Both of you froze as the words left your mouth. You wanted Ron to say something, needed him to say something, but he remained silent. You couldn't read his emotions and it was going to drive you crazy.
Ron stared at you, his eyes full to the brim with turbulent emotions that you couldn't read. All he did was shake his head.
"I don't want you with Bill," he finally said.
"You're not my boyfriend! You've made that perfectly clear!" You shouted back, your voice cracking halfway through the sentence.
Ron raked his hands through his messy hair, obvious frustrated. "If I were your boyfriend..." he started. "If I were your boyfriend... I wouldn't...." He glanced up at you and the words stopped forming at his mouth. You had tear streaks on your face and your eyes were still watery. The look of you must have shaken him too much for him to continue speaking.
"But you're fucking not! So stop acting like you are, because it hurts too much," you responded, all the fire gone from your argument. Instead it was replaced with a sad silence, the only sounds were the rustle in the tree branches and your occasional sniffle.
"I never meant to hurt you," he said, taking a step closer with his hand out to you, almost like he was thinking of reaching out to you.
You couldn't do this. You couldn't stay there, letting him reach out to touch you. It was clear he didn't love you back, so you couldn't stay and let him hold you when there wasn't any hope. You backed away from him, shaking your head as tears continued to fall down your cheeks.
"You did. You do," you said, your voice barely above a whisper. If not for Ron's body suddenly becoming stiff, you would have thought he didn't hear you.
"Y/n, please..." he began, but no words followed. You shook your head again before turning and running back inside to the Burrow.
Nobody moved when you entered the dimly lit house. The family was sitting around the crackling fire, chatting with one another. But all talk stopped as soon as you entered.
Hastily wiping the tears from your eyes, you tried to make yourself presentable.
"Sweetheart," Mrs Weasley said with that loving tone of hers only a mother could have, "are you alright?"
You nodded, despite the fact that you knew none of them believed you.
"I'm just a little tired is all, I think I'm going to head up to bed," you said, before climbing the stairs as quickly as possible.
As soon as you entered your makeshift room in the attic, you slammed the door shut behind you. You couldn't even make it to the bed before you crumbled onto the ground, your back pressed against the door. Drawing your knees up to your chest, you buried your head in your arms and let yourself cry.
Sobs racked your body as you replayed the conversation from outside. Ron didn't want you. He didn't love you back. He was angry and jealous, but he still didn't love you back.
You stayed there, pressed against the door for the next hour. Everyone headed up to bed at some point and Hermione and Ginny came to check on you. They explained how Harry told them about what happened outside but you just asked them to let you be alone for now. Being the good friends they are, they listened to your request, but not before Ginny promised to "beat Ron to a pulp for hurting you" the next morning.
Even Harry came to check on you. He was visibly uncomfortable, crying girls were never his strong suit (as you could remember from his first kiss with Cho Chang) but he still managed to give you a comforting hug. You thanked him and he left almost as quickly as he arrived. You got ready for bed in a trance, your eyes now swollen from the crying. Slipping on your pajamas, you barely noticed you were throwing on the vintage band shirt Ron had gotten you for a gift earlier. This only made you cry more. Dite landed on your shoulder as you lay in your bed. She affectionately pecked your ear and nuzzled her feathers against your cheek.  
"I'm okay, Dite," you told her, petting her soft feathers. Your fingers traced the black heart on her head. Ron bought you an owl named Aphrodite, with a heart literally on her feathers, but he couldn't even tell you he loved you. These mixed signals made your head and heart both throb.
You fell asleep fitfully, waking up every couple of hours and tossing and turning in bed. Tomorrow was Percy's party, and you had to be okay for it. You couldn't let Ron know just how much he had hurt you. You would be fine tomorrow. You would be fine, just like you had been these past few weeks. You would be fine.

Werewolves and Why I Love Them
So, hi, my name is Tali and I’m a werewolf addict.
I’ve been pretty much obsessed with werewolves since right around the time I turned twelve. The entirety of Teen Wolf aside, I’ve loved them for years. I wrote my first novel about them. I dream about them regularly (like two days ago, for instance). The majority of my original fiction is about werewolves.
For the longest time I honestly didn’t understand why I loved them so much. I mean sure, I’m in love with nighttime and am fucking entranced by full moons. I guess that helps. But it always felt like so much more than that, to the point that I used to wish desperately that I would find out I was a secret werewolf and just hadn’t changed yet, in the same way other kids wished they had magic powers. My husband and I joke pretty often about how I’m just a lil more wolfy than is probably normal. Or catlike, we can never decide.
There’s a reason for that, that I’ve found makes so much fucking sense???
I’m neurodivergent. Specifically, I have ADHD. I’ve always had it, bc that’s how it works, but you’d be surprised at how much elementary school’s strict structuring and constant supervision can keep a people-pleasing, terrified of rejection, neurodivergent kid under control. I masked most of my symptoms and I masked them well. Even at home, to the point that although I was diagnosed really young, my mother was insistent that I had no need for medication or therapy to help me deal with the altered development of my brain.
Then came middle school and my rebellious stage, where I finally stopped acting the way other people wanted me to act. Boom. ADHD symptoms galore, and my mother was flabbergasted. I was about Twelve.
Cue the werewolf obsession.
It was only once I started learning about all the symptoms I’d just assumed everybody was dealing with and figured out how to examine the ways that my neurological disorder effected my life, that it all started to make so much more sense.
Dude, werewolves are basically hyped up embodiments of ADHD.
Now, do not misinterpret me. I’m not comparing ADHD people to dogs or animals of any kind. That’s not what this is about.
This is about werewolves being almost painfully realistic representations of many ADHD symptoms from inside the ADHD person’s head.
You see ADHD people onscreen rarely, and usually when they show up they’re presented in much the same way Stiles is in the first episode. Jumpy, Distracted, Hyperactive, Addicted to meds. It sucks. And even when there is good representation, what the audience sees is almost always the neurotypical point of view rather than the pov of the actual ADHD person. You see them doing things for seemingly no reason, reacting to nothing or getting worked up over tiny things. Even the good rep doesn’t really encapsulate what it’s like to be inside that person’s head.
In my experience, werewolves get that shit right, even though it’s on accident.
There are so many things we relate to werewolves that actually express ADHD symptoms incredibly well.
Noticing sounds that other people can’t hear. (The buzz of a lightbulb or the hum of the fridge)
Getting hopeless distracted by other people’s conversations, even if they’re all the way across the room, just because you latched onto their voice.
Having strong reactions to scents and tastes and textures, that leave you nauseous around certain foods and keep you from being able to walk through the chemical aisle at Wal-mart (or is that just me?).
Impulsivity that makes you do things even you can’t fully understand, including things that you didn’t actually want to do.
Emotions that run so high you don’t know what to do with yourself.
That constant buzzing under the skin that says be more do more be more do more until you just want to run until you exhaust yourself.
Zoning out and losing literally all sense of time, occasionally with a bout of memory loss.
Constantly being on guard in public and adjusting everything from your behavior to your personality just so you can seem “normal.” Until it’s like you’re two different people.
Being unable to properly express yourself with words and it getting so fucking frustrating that you want to just growl and bite and scream (howl) to make them back off until you can think again.
Having things about yourself that some people call gifts but that others call a curse and not knowing which one to believe.
Right down to routines (wolves are on a monthly routine) and meditation or focal points (anchors) being the only way to deal with the sensory overload and calm yourself down.
Lots of ADHD people I know are really tactile. It makes perfect sense. Touch releases happy chemicals and we are perpetually lacking the happy chemicals. I myself love tactility, if only from literally one person. The concept of “puppy piles” is so fucking nice I can’t even describe it. It gives me a fucking serotonin high just thinking about it.
The reassurance that the concept of “packs” brings, a community of people just like you who accept you and let you be yourself? People who will accommodate you without blaming you for making their lives more difficult? That is so much harder to find than you think, even amongst other neurodivergent people.
Not to mention, when a werewolf freaks out about the loud noise or jumps at the slam of a door across the house? People just accept it. No one questions it, cus’ “They’re a werewolf.”
Werewolf shows or books or fanfic show a werewolf acting in a way that ‘normal’ people would find incredibly weird, but from their point of view. They let the audience hear the noise that made the wolf react. They alter the lens (sometimes really badly) so that you get a visual representation of the wolf’s vision tunneling so they only think about that one thing right now and none of the rest of the world matters.
No calling them ‘obsessed’ or ‘sensitive’ or ‘paranoid.’ No viewing them as ‘That annoying character who freaks out at nothing.’ Now the audience can see the cacophany of having that mindset and those feelings. They actually understand.
When I read about werewolves, I feel like I’m reading my own fucking thoughts. Yes, my dude, I totally feel you. The squeak of that person’s brakes might not bother anyone else because they can tune it out, but you can’t and it feels like the loudest sound in the world. No one else can smell that scent on the bed or the couch from like three weeks ago, but by god it’ll give you a fucking headache when you’re trying to sleep. Running off all that energy must be nice. I too lose my temper at the tiniest things for no discernible reason and have feelings so intense that I can’t breathe. I feel you about there being too much going on all the time, and I can’t get my homework done either.
It’s no fucking wonder that Stiles fits in so well with werewolves.
For ages I thought I was a total freak for being so obsessed with werewolves, but it’s just because I relate to them so damn much. Mystery solved, I can go back to my fanfic in peace.
Tldr; Werewolves are good ADHD rep and you won’t change my mind.

Glad you're back ! I'd really love recommandations and tips on how to stay focused and motivated in distance learning. I struggle to wake up and study these days, and I find that having a regular rhythm is harder when studying from home...
Tumblr media
hey nonnyyy!! so sorry for the late reply </3 thank you for the ask and the welcome back. i hope you’re doing alright wherever you are :) i’ll try to address your question in two parts: 1) life indoors and  2) distance learning where I’ll suggest both practical and lifestyle (?) advice. hopefully, by doing this it will address your concerns about staying focused and motivated. 
How to stay focused and motivated during online schooling; a guide by @ranaeissance​
I. Adjusting to life indoors as a student and individual
Mimic the life schedule you had before and adapt it to an indoor setting.
This one is really important. It’s not a matter of ignoring that our lives have changed, but rather it is trying to maintain a sense of regularity in new circumstances. This should help in finding some sort of a rhythm in your school and personal life.
Schedule times for your usual meals, your class schedule, your school lunches, your sleeping times, and of course to include breaks where necessary.
Colour blocking feature on Google Calendar is super fun for scheduling!!
Separate school, studying, and life
Reiterating the above point, to maintain a regular rhythm you have to know when it is time for school and when it is time for you. 
School time is your designated morning routine, zoom calls, and lunch breaks. Studying is after these windows and/or during the weekend. Most importantly, your ‘me-time’ is your breaks, when you unwind after a long day or on the weekend. Don’t let your chemistry revision go into dinner and don’t let your social media distract you during your zoom calls.
Reach out to others. 
For many of us, being indoors has drastically impacted our mental health, wellbeing, and interactions. Just remember that you’re not alone in this! Whether it be messaging friends and family, saying hello in someone’s DMs or sending an anonymous ask, reach out to others.
Give yourself a change of scenery from technology and school work
To break yourself out of the miserable cycle that is online schooling, every day try to do something different or out of routine. Perhaps during breaks, you walk around the house, daydream, look out the window or read. Maybe listen to new music or watch a new movie… talk to an old friend. 
II. Staying focused and motivated in distance learning
Utilise the pomodoro technique 
This is a technique I can never stop recommending to others! You don’t have to follow the usual structure and can always adapt it to how long you can focus. If you find yourself losing focus where you have difficulty paying attention to the words on the page or you find your eyes wandering elsewhere then it’s time to give yourself a break.
A good rule of thumb is a 10-15 minute break every 30-45mins.
Avoid using your devices or any other distractions while studying or at school 
Being at home, you’re bound to be surrounded by all sorts of distractions. A good way to manage your distractions and stay focused is to 
Use Forest (iOS, Android, desktop) 
Turn off your device or leave it somewhere unreachable 
Stop studying 2 hours before you sleep
Give yourself free time, allow yourself to relax and unwind after a long day to rejuvenate for the next day
On the more practical side, this will hopefully help to adjust your body clock and reduce the effects of screen time (eye strain and sleep)
Notes on workload:
Utilise the ABCDE method by @aescademic to organise your priorities - another personal favourite
Set SMART goals - I used to think these were lame in school but they actually help a lot with refining goals and making them more achievable 
Additional ways to organise tasks:
By priority (e.g. by due date) By difficulty By time required By subject
Separate your online activity and works (i.e. tabs) by subject and scheduled periods. This should reinforce a clear distinction between your work and help visualise your workload. That being said, remember to close your tabs when you’re done!!
My others posts on motivation:
Gaining and maintaining motivation
Additional tips on motivation and organisation
III. General advice
Allow light and a breeze to filter through your room in the morning and/or during the day. It’s a great way to reset your body clock to the time of the day and remind yourself that the outside world still exists :’) 
As soon as you wake up, get out of your soft blankets and pillows and get up!! Save your phone scrolling for later!! Make your bed!! 
If you’re more of a night owl try to reduce your blue light during nighttime. I suggest changing your devices to warm light using ‘Night Mode’ (iOS), Twilight (Android) or f.lux (Mac/Windows).
Always give yourself breaks!! Don’t forget to treat yourself after a day of work :( Of course, be strict with yourself but be kind when you need it most.
On that note, good luck anon with online schooling (and to anyone else still at school!) I wish you all the best and if you ever need help with anything my inbox and dms are always open <3

Turning Pages - Chapter 7
Intrulogical bookshop au! Read the whole thing on ao3 here.
Logan took the steps back up to his apartment two at a time. Highly illogical considering the risk of falling, but he felt like his brain was short circuiting. The spot on his cheek where Remus had kissed him metaphorically felt like it was on fire. As he made it through his door he let go of a breath he hadn’t been aware he was holding in. Logan had gone on a date with one of the strangest people he had ever met, but more importantly, he had liked it. He’d had possibly one of the best times of his life, which wasn’t too hard considering he usually spent time reading or studying or working. It was odd, he almost wished he had somebody to talk to about the events of the date, ‘gushing’ it would probably be called. That was insane, though. He didn’t gush, though for the first time he felt like he might want to.
Logan forced himself to go through his nighttime ritual, same as he always did, with one exception. He revisited the outfit he had set out for the next day and swapped out the previously chosen grey and blue pinstripe tie for the octopus one Remus had bought him from the gift shop. Thankfully it still coordinated with what he had planned to wear. As much as he still felt like his whole mind was going through a power surge, he still had to return back to reality tomorrow and an appropriate amount of sleep was required for that. He dozed off making a mental list of books he could recommend for Remus to read, just like he had promised to.
The alarm went off at the same time it did every morning, causing Logan to be pulled out of sleep as he blindly reached for his glasses on his nightstand before shutting off the harsh beeping. It was early, a consistent sleep schedule was highly important, but he didn’t have to be into the bookshop until three this afternoon, which left him lots of morning time to check off some chores and engage in recreation. He went through his strict morning routine, finishing it off with getting dressed and admiring his new tie a little bit. He finally thought to check his phone and saw he had a few texts from Remus, which wasn’t unusual he had noted. The mustached man seemed to disregard the use of paragraphs and texted in fragments. It was chaotic, quite like he was. The messages took a few seconds to decode due to the rather unusual way Remus texted, but they were just informing Logan that he had gotten home alright and that Roman was surprised he had actually gotten on the motorcycle. His favorite was a picture he had received of the stuffed octopus - Cthuwu - sitting on top of Remus’ messy hair with the other making some sort of silly face. That simple picture was enough to make Logan smile before responding to the messages.  
The rest of his morning was spent tidying up and reading a few chapters of his book while keeping an eye on the time. Logan thought that maybe he could leave a few minutes early today and pick up a treat for the shop, like Patton usually did. It was seen as a kind gesture so he figured there would be no harm in bringing something in. For some reason he also deemed it a good day to walk through the park, the geese not seeming nearly as annoying today. By the time he got to the bookshop with a box of donuts in hand (truly something he’d never usually approve of, they’re horrible for you) it was three exactly. It was unlike Logan to be on time and not early, but at least he wasn’t late. He nodded his hello to Patton as he passed by the shelves and greeted Mr. Sanders before retreating to the back room to set the box down on the table and clock in.
“Logan! Oh, I’ve been waiting all day for you to come in!” Patton grinned, practically skipping into the break room.
“Why? Did something bad happen?” Logan questioned, pulling his apron out of his bag and unfolding it.
“What? No. I wanna hear about your date! If you wanna share, of course…”
“Oh,” Logan said with a nod. “It went quite well. We went to the aquarium and then got coffee.”
“You’re bad at gossiping, L,” Virgil said, joining the circle that was forming. “Ro told me that Remus got you onto his motorcycle.”
“Is everyone coming back here? Who’s watching the front?” Logan asked as Virgil entered the conversation.
“Ooh! You rode a motorcycle?” Patton said, ignoring the question. “You must really like this guy, huh? That’s kinda dangerous…”
“He assured me it was completely safe - or, well...safe enough,” Logan replied, pulling his apron on and tying the back. “Truly I don’t know why you both care so much, it’s not that exciting.”
“Well...you never really go out unless we drag you out,” Patton admitted. “We’re just happy for you. Right, kiddo?”
“Right,” Virgil nodded. “I mean, I have no clue what you see in Remus, but you do you.”
“You’re literally dating his identical twin brother,” Logan deadpanned. “Now, come on. My dating life is not important. I’m sure Mr. Sanders is wondering where you all ran off to.”
The three of them filed out of the room, Patton grabbing one of the donuts on the way. Logan joined Mr. Sanders behind the counter, reaching for a white binder that had the setups for the new display tables he would be working on today.
“So you got the ambush, huh?” the bookshop owner asked with a knowing smile.
“Please, not you too. It’s truly not that interesting,” Logan replied, flipping through pages.
“Oh, c’mon. You remember how Pat was after Virgil’s first date with Roman, it’s sorta just how friends are.”
“Yes, well...I did get the ambush, though apparently I’m terrible at gossiping,” Logan said, finding the proper page finally.
“Well anyone coulda told you that,” Mr. Sanders chuckled. “Nice new tie, by the way. It reminds me of a certain someone.”
“Thank you. It’s from the gift shop.”
The rest of Logan’s day was spent setting up new display tables and helping out the few customers that came in. Patton went home first since he had opened with Mr. Sanders that day, and Virgil followed a few hours later. Logan was excused for his break where he simply chose to sit in the back and flip through a new book that came in. He checked his texts to see a new one from Remus asking if he wanted to meet him after closing the shop tonight, followed by a suggestion for getting dinner together. There was also another picture of a yellow snake wrapped around the stuffed octopus from the aquarium further up. Logan responded to the text that dinner would be satisfactory before going back to finish up his shift.
Closing went fairly quickly considering there were two people doing the job rather than one, and they finished in half the time it usually took. Mr. Sanders bid Logan a goodnight, assuring him that he’d lock up the shop. Logan was met with Remus leaning against his motorcycle holding the spare helmet he had worn for their aquarium date.
“Howdy, Loganberry,” he grinned.
“Hello, Remus Kingsley,” Logan greeted, assuming they were using full names, hence the confusion when it made Remus laugh.
“C’mon, I hope you’re hungry...and that you don’t loathe sand too much,” Remus said, sticking the helmet onto Logan’s head and holding out a hand for the other’s bag so that he could secure it on the bike.
“I’m not fond of it, but I can tolerate the stuff so long as you don’t plan on us eating sand for dinner,” he replied, handing over his belongings and securing the helmet.
“A novel idea! I will jot that down on the to-try list, but no, not tonight. Maybe next time if I don’t manage to scare you away.”
“You truly aren’t that scary, I don’t see how you would,” Logan shrugged lightly as Remus slung his jacket back on. “But don’t eat sand.”
“No promises, Nerdy Wolverine,” Remus laughed again. “But c’mon! I really tapped into my hidden romantic side for this.”
Logan was very tempted to ask what he was getting himself into here, but had the sense Remus wanted to keep it a surprise even if he did ask. He joined the other on the motorcycle and they sped away from the bookshop, following the signs that led them towards the coastal area near their town which only served to continue to peak his curiosity. He didn’t come down here often, mostly because he didn’t swim at the beach and didn’t generally enjoy the company of the people who did, what other reason would there be? Remus always seemed to have some sort of adventure planned so here he was, getting pulled out of his usual comfort zone. Though, it wasn’t too bad when he remembered who was doing the pulling. It was about twenty minutes before the smell of the ocean hit and Remus parked the bike outside of a diner.
“We’re here!” He declared happily, killing the engine. “I’m telling you, this place has to die for, well...everything. Plus we can sit outside and watch the water!”
“Well, I’ve trusted you up to this point, there’s no logical reason for me to stop now.”
“I love the way you think, Loganberry. Onward we go!”

New year, New goals, and no excuses 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
hi lovelies, for anyone who has followed me for a while, you know ive been gone from here for a while. i have acceptedand embeaced things about my body that no amount of diet and excercise will ever change, but here i am having gained over the holidays and i wanted to try to ease back into calorie counting and really try to build some better habits this year.
even though my goal weight isn't very low, i want to lose enough weight to be a normal, fully functioning size lady who doesn't have to worry about health risks associated with obesity.
THAT BEING SAID, the only thing that has EVER helped me eat consistently healthy and have good portion control has been the strict mindset and discipline ive learned from the ana community. no matter what i do or try, the only thing that has given me any amount of control over my binge eating disorder has been the inspiration, discipline, and focus that being in the ana community gives me. i am here for myself and to live my healthiest life. I DO NOT PROMOTE THIS LIFESTYLE CHOICE but its the ONLY thing that helps me not overeat and avoid unhealthy foods.
my body is going through some changes and I've been having a lot of weird reactions to foods I've always eaten and really need to do some elimination dieting to figure out what is causing me to be nauseous, bloated, gassy, and generally not feeling well lately.
this might just be my rough draft of what im changing until i figure out what i need to cut out of my diet completely, but i want to establish some new, good habits to stick to going forward.
Always drink water when you first wake up
Avoid dairy
NO fried foods, popcorn instead of chips always
No calories in drinks except coffee and tea
Avoid baked goods and candy (i am a cake decorator in a bakery, so this one is almost impossible for me to avoid 100%)
No white bread, whole grain only
never take vitamins on an empty stomach
High protein breakfast EVERYDAY
Green smoothie with fiber three times a week
Vegetables or plant based food at every meal
Intermittent fast as often as possible, skip dinner or no eating after 6pm
Drink 8-12oz of water for every three bites of food
Plan every meal as best as i can
NON FOOD GOALS AND HABITS
Track calories
Track sleep
Begin to build a consistent bedtime routine with no phone, meditation, and no nighttime eating, take medication
Build a better morning routine, eat good breakfast and meditate
Walk at least 45 mins a day: get off the bus a stop early and/or walk to the next stop
Floss every day
Wash face every single night
Drink water before bed
These goals will change as i get back into a more rigid routine and have my mind focused on not overeating and hopefully figure out why my stomach has been so messed up lately.
Wish me luck everyone and thank you for being an awesome community ❤🌠

What website is it easy to spend too much time on? Reddit. I used to spend hours on end on Reddit back when I had just discovered it and saw how many subreddits I can check out, but I’ve toned down these days. I mostly use scroll through the popular tag to help me fall asleep, but I still spend a lot of time on it nonetheless. What's been bothering you lately? One of my classes is a subject I never really wanted to venture into because it will demand me to be insanely extroverted, but I didn’t have a choice but to take it and now I’m worried for my sanity for the next four months. Do you ever get cravings for cheese? Yeah but I’m not as crazy for cheese as most girls around me seem to be lolol. Cheese is ayts. I mostly like it as a dip for Korean barbecue, and I don’t really like the more challenging/funky cheeses. Do you ever crave affection? Yep, sometimes I act needy towards my girlfriend. Would you name your baby after someone or give him/her his or her own name? Their main name would be their own, but I wouldn’t be opposed to having their second name be a tribute to somebody important to me. For instance, if I have a son I’ve always thought of giving him Owen as a second name as an homage to Owen Hart.
Do you think boys can wear pink and girls can wear blue? It’s 2020. We’re way past pink vs. blue now lmfao. But yes, of course. Which hair curlers have you had the best luck with? I don’t use those. What is the best way to curl your hair? In like the four times I’ve had my hair curled, the stylists always used a flat iron. Don't you hate it when people act like idiots just to make you mad? That’s a different level of assholery, but yep I imagine that would piss me off. If you were thrown into a lion's den, would you trust God to save you? Nope, I’ll be saying goodbye to all my loved ones in my head. Do you wish you could call the police on the police? Not in this country, because most police are abusive and dicks. Do you write in cursive or print more? Print. My penmanship is nicer that way, because my writing usually comes out in messy scribbles when I try to write in script. But I always regularly practice my high school’s unique cursive anyway so that I never forget it/get rusty at it. Were you alive before the Internet came out? No, I think the Internet was already kind of a thing by 1998. Do you like that trends from the 90's are coming back in style? Yeah tbh I’m a fan. I love the simple t-shirt/mom jeans combo because it looks so effortless, and because it’s pieces I already have in my closet lmao. ....or would you rather have the trends stay the same as the last decade? Not really, I’m pretty good with all the 90s stuff coming back. Some kids ruined it by wearing chunky sneakers too much, but I like all the other trends that came with it, like bucket hats and belts. What was a horrible trend when you were in high school? I honestly didn’t know much about the trends when I was in high school because 1) we wore our school uniforms every single day, so imagine having one outfit 5/7 days a week, and 2) being from a Catholic school, we had a very strict dress code so it’s not like we could wear whatever the trends were. I do remember never being impressed with Roshes though. What is a horrible trend now? Hype/street clothes like DBTK. What would you do differently if you were God? Not make people suffer. Have you ever met anyone who claimed to be God? No. If I did, I’d run far far away from them. If you had to leave the US and never come back, where would you move? First of all, I have to live in the US before I can leave the US. Would you buy a castle if you could afford one? Sure, whatever. What is something you aren't ok with? My default answer would be homophobia. Do you know anyone who isn't fake? Sure. I know more not-fake people than those who are. Name five people you know who aren't fake. Laurice, Aya, Tina, Danika, Amanda. Do you fully trust anyone? Yes. How many true Christians do you know? Do you know any? What does being a ‘true’ Christian even mean? Do you think someone's value is based on how much money they have or make? No. Would you rather be an aborted baby or a victim of child abuse? Wow THIS IS THE WORST QUESTION EVER. What's one trend you're behind the times on? Tiktok. I do nooooooot understand it for the life of me and do not wish to. Do idiots act like know-it-alls a lot around you? I think know-it-alls act like know-it-alls regardless of who they’re with. Do you think it's ok to call an idiot an idiot? Not to their face, but yes I’ve used that word occasionally.
If you had a child with down's syndrome, would you keep him/her? I’m honestly not sure, and I don’t really like stressing about that kind of stuff this early. Don't you wish people who weren't qualified would stop getting handed leadership positions? Obviously. But there’s little we can do, with the key word there being ‘handed.’ Who is the worst plagiarizer you know? People in high school would copy-paste whole paragraphs from websites or textbooks onto group papers and I hate those people to this day. If someone tried to murder your child, do you think it would be wrong to expose them publicly and talk about it on social media? It wouldn’t be the best and smartest way to go, especially if it was the first thing I planned on doing. ...Why do you think people think this is wrong? Because I would be putting vulnerable people under limelight they never asked for, and because I’d be talking about confidential stuff, especially if the whole ordeal is currently going through a legal process, which is stupid. Is there a toxic person that you miss? You know, despite how close I was with Athenna, I’ve never missed her. Are you still contemplating going back to someone you shouldn't? Nope. What do you need right now? I’m gonna need a higher inner morale for my business reporting class, which is the class I’m really scared about. When was the last time you had a new crush? December 2013. Do you know any "Christians" who are rude and judgmental? Almost all the Christians I know are rude and judgmental. What would you do if your Bible was falling apart? I dunno. Leave it wherever it’s always been. Do you have coffee with Jesus every morning? Groan. Do you pretend to be someone you're not on facebook? Why or why not? No because I have no reason to do that. Do you know anyone who pretends to be a Christian to get attention? Ooooh interesting haha, but no. I’m sure in this time and place they’d get called out almost immediately. Do you want Jesus to come back soon? I’m gonna paraphrase a quote from Friends and say “I know you’re asking me a lot of Jesus questions, but all I hear is blahhhhhblahhhhhhhhhblahhhhhhhhhh.” Do you believe that Jesus is going to come back in your lifetime? Holy shit. Would you rather wear blue jeans or jeggings? Blue jeans. I’ve never owned jeggings. What is the most comfortable type of pants ever? Anything but skinny jeans. What is something you can't wear because of your body type? I can’t wear dresses that are loose around the chest area. Stuff like those are loose because the boobs are meant to hold them up and give someone a flattering figure, but if I tried to wear those, the dress would drop down all the way to my stomach lmao. If you have curves, do you like them? I have some curves, but I’m generally skinny. I do like the ones I have though. What is the curviest part of your body? Butt. Have you ever been punished for doing the right thing? I don’t think so. How often do you cry? One or two times a week would be a good guess. How many Christians do you know who actually care? This is very vague. Is Tumblr all that it's hyped up to be? But it’s not hyped at all these days... Tumblr definitely already peaked a few years ago, and I don’t know what people are saying about it now. At what age do you think someone is old enough to give advice? I don’t think there’s an age requirement for advice. Have you ever worn matching pajamas with someone? No. What helps you fall asleep? When I’m alone, I need it to be quiet or at the very most have white noise around, like the buzz of an aircon or the whir of the electric fan. When I’m sleeping with my girlfriend I have to be cuddled and I have to fall asleep first, or else I’ll keep waking up and twist and turn through the night. I’m a difficult person to fall asleep with huhuh sorry Gab :’( Do you have a nighttime routine? No. I just scroll through social media until my eyes get tired enough to fall asleep within seconds. What was the last mountain you climbed? Not sure, but it was in Sagada. Who is the fakest Christian you know? One of my titas, although I love her to death, is a very devout Christian but had a meltdown/breakdown when her daughter (my cousin) revealed she was dating a black guy. I was stunned when my mom told me all about the ‘drama’ and it took every cell in my body not to explode and give a sermon to everyone else in my family who was upset about it. Just for context, Filipinos are among the MOST RACIST PEOPLE ON THE PLANET so stuff like this WILL be a big deal, especially among our traditional Gen X/Boomer population. Who are the fakest friends you've had? Athenna and Fern. Who's the most narcissistic person you know? I don’t know anyone like this, fortunately. Maybe me because I like taking these surveys??? Jk :((( Who gives the best hugs? Laurice!!! Who was the last person you hugged? My girlfriend.

FIC: One Hand Behind Your Back (baon)
Summary: Playing stupid games, winning stupid prizes.
Tags: Spicyhoney, Established Relationship, Hurt/Comfort, Angst, References to Illness, Kustard
part of the ‘by any other name’ series.
Read it on AO3
or
Read it here!
~~*~~
Stretch didn’t have much in the way of an internal clock, but all it took was a quick glance at his phone confirm it was early enough that Edge probably hadn’t gone to work yet.
He rolled over in the bed to debate internally about that, trying to decide if it was worth waiting to get up to play at avoidance, but it didn’t really matter, did it? Edge would come up to kiss him goodbye before he left and besides, the siren smell of fresh brewed coffee was wafting into their bedroom.
In the end, he got up and pulled on his robe. Whatever would be, would be, and at least he’d have caffeine.
As suspected, Edge was sitting at the kitchen table, newspaper spread out in front of him as he sipped what was probably the third cup into his second pot of coffee. Honestly, Stretch loved him a cuppa, too, but Edge’s magic should be flowing in a dark roast by now.
“What are you doing up?” Edge asked, looking up with a frown. His pen, which had been in the process of circling any information in the paper that was worth passing on, hesitated, the tip trailing against the newsprint.
“don’t sound so happy to see me,” Stretch yawned, making his way to the coffee pot. “people’ll think we’re in love.”
Edge rolled his eye lights and went back to the paper. “I’m sorry, sweetheart, but seeing you this early throws me off.”
Stretch poured a healthy, or well, probably not healthy at all measure of sugar into his cup, topping it with cream and then taking a deep, contented drink of the muddy results. That finished the pot, but he flicked the burner off instead of making a fresh one. If Edge wanted to up his daily jitter ratio, he could make another.
He leaned against the counter, taking a moment to admire the view. Edge was in one of his ‘I mean business’ work suits and there was something about seeing him all classy, in a dark crimson shirt and a black tie that had some seizure-inducing swirly pattern on it. Except he had his sleeves rolled up, jacket tossed over the back of a chair and Stretch would bet his lesser-used femur that no one at the Embassy got to see him like that. Classy, yeah, but ever so slightly taken apart, almost an invitation to disassemble him a little more.
It was like a sexy disguise, really, only much better than anything Batman had.
Any other day, Stretch would probably straddle Edge’s lap and make a good attempt at pushing his luck. Today he only wandered close enough to drape himself over the back of Edge’s chair.
“sorry i wrecked your groove. hmmm, you ever notice you call me sweetheart when you’re being a dick?” He grinned to take the sting out of it, nuzzling a smacking, wet kiss against the top of Edge’s skull.
Edge didn’t quite jerk away, but he did twitch and gave Stretch a look.
Actually, it was more like a Look, but that was okay. Stretch only smiled sweetly and leaned down, giving him a real kiss because those tended to soothe all looks and Looks when it came to his honey.
As per, Edge hummed appreciatively, kissing back for a long, toe-curling moment before pulling away and going back to his paper. “I’ll take your word on that, considering you’re the runner-up for the championship.”
“runner-up!”
Exchanging a Look for a smirk, oh, his baby was in fine form this morning. “Apologies, sweetheart, but my brother will always be better at being a dick than you.”
“eh, yeah, there’s an argument i can’t win.” But Stretch couldn’t help smiling because damn, he loved this asshole. He loved him so, so much…and he kinda needed him to leave. He plunked down into one of the chairs, picking at one of the half-eaten muffins Edge had on his plate. Long moments ticked by of Edge picking his dinosaur way through the paper, and yeah, he was going to have to move this along.
Nonchalantly, Stretch pulled out his phone and made a show of absently scrolling through it. “ooh, babe, you’re gonna be late.”
It worked. Edge looked at his own phone and made a disgruntled sound, folding up the newspaper and tossing it into his briefcase. He was only halfway into his jacket when he leaned down to steal another kiss and Stretch sighed into it, wishing he could share his affections as easily as he could his mouth, wishing he could damn well beam his love into Edge like Star Trek, one of the good episodes.
Meh, it wasn’t like Edge didn’t know. He hoped.
He waited until the front door closed and he heard the car start, pulling out of the garage and then down the road. Then he dropped his head down to rest it on his folded arms, breathing in slowly, letting it out.
Five minutes was all he allowed himself and then Stretch stood up. Time to get this over with.
Outside, there was a thin, fresh layer of snow on the ground, putting a lie to the idea that spring had sprung. It suited his mood and Stretch only zipped his jacket and burrowed deeper into his coat. It wasn’t like he was walking far anyway, not when a couple shortcuts would do.
~~*~~
All the windows were dark, and the glaring light on the front porch was less invitation than it was warning. Stretch ignored that, shortcutting up to the stairs.
Deliberately, he stepped on the pressure plate that he knew was concealed beneath the welcome mat. It set off a buzzer inside the house and he may as well annoy while he had the chance.
The front door remained closed, which meant either no one was home or no one cared he was here, and Stretch had pretty good odds on the latter. He knocked firmly. And again. Again, finally pounding on the door.
It swung open mid-pound and Stretch nearly fell forward on top of Red. Probably good that he didn’t; from the glare Red was sending up at him, he probably would have gotten shivved before they hit the ground.
“stretch, this better be good,” he growled. One of his eye lights was flickering, on the verge of going out.
Oooh, scary, especially with the way his shirt was on backwards.
“don’t even start with me, captain cockblock.” Stretch didn’t bother trying to shove Red aside to get in, sparing himself a possible stabbing by shortcutting into the front room. The strain of so many cuts in a brief time was starting to ache a little in his chest so he was either walking most of the way home or hanging out with the strangler here for a while. “i can’t even count how many times you’ve kept me from getting laid and i can recite pi for an hour. i need to talk to sans.”
From the shifty look Red was giving him, he was working up an excuse. Stretch deliberately toed at one of the shoes laying on its side on the mat, a shoe that decidedly did not belong to a Red and unless someone else in New New home was working lazyass chic, he knew who they belonged to.
Fuck it, they all knew who those shoes belonged to; these two could be dicks about it all they wanted, but no one except them was that stupid. Even Papyrus had more or less started discreetly leaving the cushion on the sofa next to Sans empty on movie nights, on the strict, unspoken understanding that whenever Red bothered to show up, if he showed up, that was where his ass belonged.
“for fuck’s sake, he knows i’m here,” came floating down the stairs. Proof that Sans at least had his head on in the general direction of straight. He appeared with a pop of teleportation directly on the sofa, still pulling a shirt over his head. “i’m not crouching in the closet with my pants halfway up waiting for you to get rid of him. hey, stretch, what’s up?”
Red was sputtering next to him like a cat in a swimming pool, but Stretch couldn’t pay attention to that. Now that he was in front of Sans, fear was choking him again, rising up thick and tight, clenching his soul. “check me.”
Uncomfortable prickles skittering over his bones, too much for one check, but he didn’t bother glaring at Red. Wasn’t like he didn’t know, or he wouldn’t very quickly find out. From their expressions, they were discovering the same thing he had the night before when he'd absently checked himself before bed.
Yeah, that had sucked a little.
Standing there in the bathroom, his toothbrush still in hand and foam dripping from his mouth. He hadn’t even really thought much about it for couple days, until he’d Checked. Not a minute later Edge walked in to go through his nighttime routine and all he could do was rinse his mouth and go to bed. Laying there in the darkness in Edge’s arms, listening to his even breathing, and waiting until morning when he could come here.
“the infusion didn’t work?” Sans said. His face reflected his dismay, and he was already on his feet, moving faster than most would give him credit for. “i thought-“
“no, it did work, it worked for most of the week.” Sans tugged demandingly on his sweatshirt and Stretch obediently crouched, shivering as another Check washed over him. “i noticed it dropped again last night.”
“is it still dropping?” Red asked sharply. Any irritation or sardonic humor vanished, he was all business in a blink, hovering back while Sans inspected him like a prospector in search of gold.
“don’t think so. it’s been holding steady all night. seems like my base hp just dropped to 4.”
“okay,” Red nodded slowly. He turned away and Stretch couldn’t see his face when he added, “you think if you use more of that infusion, it’ll help?”
“woah, wait a sec,” Sans straightened, letting go of Stretch’s sweatshirt so abruptly that he wobbled on his heels and fell back on his coccyx. “we’re scientists, and phd’s aside, we ain’t doctors. even if we were, we’re out of infused oil.”
“but you can make more, can’t you?” Not really a question. Red’s fingers tapped a rhythm against his femur, a thoughtful little tic.
Sans hesitated, then shook his head. “…yeah, we can, but. look, edge needs to know about this. i don’t play keep-away with this shit.”
“yeah?” Red turned back and favored them with a sharp-toothed smile. “and how’s he gonna react?”
Sans looked away. They both looked tired, Stretch realized, dark shadows under their sockets that didn’t look like they came from fun times. But Sans had very kindly invited him to stay out of it, so he wasn’t gonna ask. Not today, anyway.
Red only nodded as if Sans’s silence spoke a wiki's worth of confirmation. “fucking exactly. he’ll freak his shit and we just got him back on an even keel. fucked up shit at the embassy, fucked up shit with his…” Red bit off whatever he was going to say. “plus, we get the added bonus of paps and blue freaking their shit, and suddenly we got a shitshow on pay-per-view. is it really worth all that? say we tell him and it goes away in a week or two?”
“say we don’t tell him,” Sans countered, “and in a week or two his hp drops to three, only we didn’t tell him and he sees it on his own!”
Yeah, Stretch was about done watching these two arguing about his life. “i’ve had lower hp before, we all have. he could see it now, if he checked me. i’m not trying to hide it.”
“see?” Red wasn’t even bothering to hide his triumph. “not even a lie, only a little discreet ‘not sayin anything’.”
Years of dealing with his own crap had probably made Sans immune to anyone else’s. “yeah, it’s not me you’d have to convince of that, and you’ve got zero guesses on whether or not edge would buy stock in that line of bullshit.”
Not that he was wrong, but still—
“sans. two weeks. please,” Stretch pleaded. “i’ll go to the therapist, i’ll even see alphys if you want but…please.”
That was a carrot on a stick, a pretty fucking tasty one, and he knew it. They all hated doctors, but Stretch was usually the worst about it. Sans was visibly wavering, looking from Red to Stretch. Then he sank back with a shrug, tucking his hands into his pockets.
“you’ll go see alphys?” Sans asked, low.
“i promise.” Stretch made an ‘x’ over his soul and for good measure, held out a pinkie.
Sans hooked it with his own and sighed loudly. “okay. okay. you two are fucking me over a barrel, here, you know that.”
“that’s a new one,” Red leered. “better mark it down on our list. your magic-sucking machine still in the lab?”
Just the mention of the lab made Stretch swallow hard and that was on top of the nausea that watching Red flirting induced, “yeah, but—“
Sans must’ve still been feeling a little kindly towards him, because he didn’t force Stretch to finish. “don’t even worry about that, kiddo, the jack-off here can babysit me.”
“nah, i don’t think so,” Red said, “not my style. you can take the magic from me. specially if you’re gonna jack me off.”
“great, so stretch can grease himself up with your juicy jizz?” Sans’s grin was less forced even as Stretch made a gagging sound.
Red gave them a broad wink. “why should you have all the fun?”
“dunno if the ‘coconut cabana’ scent is gonna be enough to cover that up,” Sans said thoughtfully. “might have to take it all the way up to ‘moonlight lovebeam’ or whatever it’s called.”
“enough, i’m begging you both, stop before i barf on everyone’s shoes.” Stretch covered his mouth with one hand and crossed his eye lights in puke-pantomime. ”can we go back to pretending that i don’t know you two are screwing? it was a simpler, happier time for me.”
“you came into my house.” Red grinned. “play stupid games, win fucked up prizes. welp, i could eat right about now, not anything either of you can cook, and since we’re trying to keep pretty boy here alive, we probably shouldn’t risk mine.”
“edge made a strawberry cheese danish last night.” The least Stretch could do was offer them food, especially since he hadn’t made it.
“that’s what i like to hear!” Red slapped Stretch on the back as high as he could reach, which was still uncomfortably close to his tailbone. “let’s head back to your place, honey bun, and kill some of my bro's cooking, make some plans, yeah? get this done before himself gets home.”
“yeah, okay. can one of you…?” A faint sense of unreality washed over him, a push through the void that he never felt when he shortcutted himself. When it eased, they were standing in front of his house on the porch.”
“couldn’t put us in the living room?” Sans said disapprovingly. He grimaced as he trudged through the thin snow in his slippers.
“trust me, my bro would notice if we leave a smudge on the carpet. kick your shoes off at the door, sansy-sweet, and let’s try to be discreet?”
“you sure you wanna start playing pet names with me?” Sans asked. His tone was lazy, his eye lights anything but, “‘cause between shakespeare and the urban dictionary, think i can play to win.”
“that a promise? inquiring minds wanna know.”
Stretch trailed behind them, ignoring their squabbling. The fear that was making a home in his soul was muted, eased, a little. Not gone, no, but there was a plan now, and that was more than he usually managed.
Besides, Red knew Edge better than anyone, even him. He knew exactly how his brother would react to all this. It had to be better to try and figure it out before worrying him, see if it was an easy problem to solve, and it wasn’t like it was only the three of them, he was going to see Alphys, too.
It was a work in progress, was all, and not worth worrying him yet.
He couldn’t help playing with his wedding band while the three of them razed through the remains of the strawberry danish. The smooth metal was body-warm against his fingertips and the promises embedded into it were not ones he planned on breaking.
He’d talk to Edge if he had to, he would, tell him everything no matter how upset it would make him.
Just not yet.

Nighttime Routine
This is my entry for the @xfficchallenges "fic you'd never write" challenge. I am pretty new to the world of fanfic but so far i have tried quite a few different types of fics (you can check put my Ao3 account to see everything ive written). One thing I never thought I'd try though is a William AU fic, so here you go! It is pure family fluff with a little side of msr smut... Scully stood hidden in the doorway watching, as she did every night. Mulder was seated in William’s bed, his legs dangling off the end and his arm wrapped around his son’s small body. William’s head was laid on Mulder’s chest and his eyes never left his father’s as he talked. Mulder tried to tell Will a new story each night but almost every night Will requested the same story about the Frankenstein-like creature known as the Great Mutato, who just wanted to find love. Even though Mulder told his young son the same story every night, he made sure to make small variations but he kept the voices of the main characters, the Mutato and Agents Moldy and Scullbag, the same. And every night Scully had to stop herself from laughing at Mulder’s silly voices, so she did not blow her cover. Tonight, instead of ending the story as Mulder usually did, with The Great Mutato dancing on stage with Cher and the crowd going wild, he gave it a more romantic flair. He ended it with Agent Moldy asking Agent Scullbag for a dance and them sharing a kiss as “Walking in Memphis” played in the background. Will let out a small “yuck” at this new ending but Mulder just smiled and lightly shushed his son, while Scully beamed from her hiding spot. Mulder slowly got up from Will’s bed to tuck him in and kiss him goodnight and Scully retreated from the doorway. She knew that Mulder would go out into the living room to find Scully and ask her to go say goodnight to their child, and Scully had to pretend to be sitting on the couch reading. Their nighttime routine was Scully’s favorite part of her day. Whenever she was feeling down at work she would think about the look of pure fascination on her son’s face as he listened and Mulder’s pure joy as he would tell his son a bedtime story. Scully had spent so many years thinking that her dream of having a family was over and she had even come to except it. But now that it was a reality she swore to herself that she would never ever take it for granted. Even after five years of perfect familial bliss, the thought of Mulder as a father still could bring tears to Scully’s eyes, and she hoped that feeling would never cease. Scully had just made it to the couch and opened her book as Mulder walked out of Will’s room. He walked behind the couch and wrapped his arms around Scully, placing a kiss on her head. “Will’s ready for his bedtime kiss.” Mulder whispered in Scully’s ear. Scully slowly put her book away and got up from the couch. She hugged Mulder and gave him a quick kiss before heading into Will’s room to wish him goodnight. He had been having a bit of trouble sleeping lately but both Scully and Mulder didn’t mind that he almost always ended up in their bed by morning. Luckily, they had bought a king bed and Will was still small and young enough that he did not take up too much space. Scully returned to the living room, surprised to find Mulder nowhere. The next part of their nighttime routine was always that they would cuddle on the couch and watch their favorite show, Dexter, and Mulder was always ready and waiting when Scully returned. Scully figured that Mulder had maybe run to the bathroom but when he didn’t return after a few minutes, Scully decided to go investigate. She checked, the kitchen, the bathroom, and the office but he was nowhere to be found until she finally checked their bedroom. There, sprawled out on their bed, wearing nothing but his favorite pair of UFO boxers, was Mulder. Scully burst out laughing, “Mulder, what the hell are you doing?” “I am wooing my wife.” “Mulder, we’re not married.” “Oh right, I forget that we’ve just been living in sin for the last decade.” “You really think your UFO boxers are the way to my heart?” “Well, yeah, but I also wanted to make you laugh.” “Fine, you win.” Scully joined Mulder on the bed and placed a passionate kiss on his mouth. She then began working her way down his body, kissing his neck, torso, stomach, and down to just above his ridiculous boxers. She could clearly see how hard he already was, a sight that never ceased to impress her. Scully was just about to dig in when a couple of thoughts interrupted her desire, “Mulder we’re gonna miss Dexter! And also, what if Will comes in?” “Well Scully, thanks to the wonders of technology I am recording Dexter and I’ve timed it and Will always waits at least 20 minutes after we put him to bed before coming out to find us.” There was a slight pause as Scully thought about Mulder’s response, “So, c’mon G-woman, let’s get it on!” Mulder slightly thrust his hips up towards Scully as he spoke and she decided to give in. Scully pulled Mulder’s boxers off and took his dick in her hands. She spent a couple glorious minutes giving the love of her life a blowjob before Mulder insisted that she “get inside of him, now.” So, Scully moved back up on the bed and gave Mulder a few more kissed before she got on top of him and slowly sank down onto his length. The one downside to the family and nighttime routine that Scully loved was that sex was almost never included in it. Scully would never give up her steady life to go back to fucking Mulder in their basement office every day but she did terribly miss the physical intimacy in their relationship that was always so perfect. Scully couldn’t even remember exactly the last time they had had sex but she knew it must have been awhile based on how tight she was. Yet it wasn’t long before she was once again accustomed to Mulder’s size and she began thrusting him harder and harder into her. She could never ever get tired of this; Mulder’s soft grunts, the warmth of his entire body, the smell of their arousal, and the vibrations she felt all over, every time Mulder’s dick hit just the right spot. Scully tried to make it last for as long as possible but eventually it became too much and her world burst with Mulder right behind her. Once the sensations ceased Scully curled up beside Mulder, the two of them allowing their breaths to return to normal. Scully was the one to finally break the silence, “Mulder, maybe we could add this into our nighttime routine.” “We could, but I know how you like to be in bed by exactly 11” “I’d be okay with pushing it towards 11:30, would you?” “That would be very okay with me.” “Hey, Mulder?” “Yes.” “Are you okay with the fact that we’ve become those people with strict routines?” “I love our routines. “You do?” “Yeah, I really do.” “Which one’s your favorite.” “Our nighttime routine.” “Me too. Especially now that we’ve added this new component. But you do know that the UFO boxers don’t have to stay.” “The UFO boxers definitely have to stay.” Mulder ended their discussion with one final kiss before they got dressed in their pajamas and headed out to the living room to watch Dexter. Ten minutes later Will came out from his room and cuddled in between his parents on the couch. When Mulder and Scully were done watching TV, Mulder picked up the sleeping Will and took him back to bed. The next morning Scully awoke to find Will squished in between herself and Mulder. In just a couple minutes their alarm would sound and the day would begin. Scully somehow always managed to wake up a few minutes early and enjoyed staring at her boys as they slept peacefully. If there was anything that came close to Scully’s joy for her nighttime routine, it was these few minutes in the morning. Just another small piece of her new quiet life that Scully knew she would never ever take for granted.

round two, let’s give it a go. i’m kayla and here’s my baby stas. i’m nineteen y/o and honestly ,,, why am i still growing i wish i was still seventeen. nyway, i live in the est. timezone and my pronouns are she/her. i haven’t been in a proper rp in quite awhile, but this one got me all excited and i’ve been like a child on xmas reading your intros, so here is the one and only anastasia vasquez ! pretty please like if you’re interested and i’ll head your way for some brainstorming :~)
BACKSTORY. 
- let’s go on a little flashback to stas and her past. growing up, she had two parents. both a mother and a father, who had a very strict way of living. it gave anastasia very little room to bloom and express her personality to the fullest. this was where her courageous and mischievous side took off. so in about high school, she was known to be the life of the party. skipping classes to go explore on her own, breaking into house parties and other get-togethers to get a sense of belonging, sneaking out of her house at all hours of the night, staying out long after curfew.
- once her mother began to notice the rebellious turn that stas was taking, she decided that she could not have enough and the supposed ‘ love ‘ she had for her father was not enough to make her stay and watch her daughter grow into somebody other than the perfect little picture she had in her head. from then on her father became less strict, and more easy going but he still tried to discipline her but he was much more accepting of her personality and choices.
- now onto her passion: dancing ! it all started when she was stumbling into a burlesque strip club with a fake id at the age of seventeen, eyes wide as she drank in the scene. her dream scene. she always had a way with her hips, and her body always found rhythm to jerk around to. but she never thought of adding the lack of clothes to the equation. strippers were always bad mouthed and looked down on for being trashy, etc. but the way the burlesque themed club screamed class with the outfits of pearls and sparkles and pure beauty, anastasia fell in love and knew where her future was headed. she’d considered college and all of the things that her mother had wanted for her, but nothing ever compared to where she finds herself now. 
THE PRESENT.
- currently living in chicago in a cozy apartment with three other roommates, pursuing her dreams. to some, her dream may have been little. but her main dream was to be happy. cheesy, but simple. dancing made her happy, so there we have it. she is now a well-known exotic dancer for a burlesque club. she does a lot of practices and training for new routines and such, but her boss is very flexible with her because she still tends to wander and do whatever her heart desires -- not really answering to anybody but hrself, yknow?
- she begins her day with an excessive amount of coffee and a large glass of water topped off with half a lemon. anastasia gets most of her exercise in when it comes to her dancing, but there is a lot of exercise and training that goes into it. she typically goes for a run, and depending on how she’s feeling, that’s how long her distance would be. throughout the day, she probably has plans with friends, little adventures scheduled to keep her day exciting, and nighttime she is most likely starring on stage. if not, she goes to other clubs to support the dancers or enjoys the rest of the nightlife around town.
PERSONALITY. 
- an outgoing, exciting little peach to begin with. she is always up for having fun and showing people what living life to the fullest is about. she’s all about adventure, adrenaline rushes, and breaking people out of their shell to live the constant party that goes on in her life.  she is a real people pleaser and she aims to show others her positive outlook on life, whether she is dragging them to some of her favorite memorable spots, a wild party, or simply bringing them to her job.
- she is very protective, like very. if you even look at her friend the wrong way, she will make that fact #known and you will WISH you never met her in the first place. her friends are her whole world, seeing as she didn’t have much family to lean on when she was younger.
- stubborn .......... volatile ..... unpredictable. so she has a hard time admitting to when she is wrong, yeth she is one of those. her moods change rapidly, one minute she could be having a good time being her little optimistic party self to oh my god this girl has FLAME comin out her ears, back away. so yes watch out for that.
-  the brunette has a way about her to make others comfortable in her presence and she yearns to break people out of their shell and show them what a true good time is.
POSSIBLE CONNECTIONS.
- best friend / the ride or die. they could be alike in many ways, or complete opposites that attract. they understand stas’ lifestyle the best that they can, and ana protects them and looks out for them the best that she can. they find happiness and excitement in similar things, and they go on little adventures and whatnot. but at the end of the day, they are always there for one another. #rideordie forev
- exes. oh yes i live for exes plots. so it could be a relationship that ended poorly, meaning they both practically despise each other now and they get into glaring contests whenever they see each other and will go out of their way to piss each other off yikes ! OR complete opposite, maybe it was a mutual agreement and when they see each other again feelings begin to spark again ooo. i’m not sure where i’m going with this, i’m an ex plot whore lmao
- common clubber. ok so maybe they attend a lot of the shows that she is apart of and she takes notice to them and she finds some sort of interest in them, whether it be their behavior or just their overall appearance. possible love interest ??? possible fwb ?? possible friends, the possibilities are endless tbh ??
- partners in crime / adventurers. ah so this is the person that she gets out all of her built up energy with, and they aim for nothing but a good time. clubbing, dancing, parties, sneaking into places, illegal things, etc.
 um oops this got long but i’ll add to this soon but these are just very few. if you got to the end god bless yr pretty little soul, and if you’re interested in plotting with my little peach anastasia then like this and i’ll come your way and we can brainstorm something. i look forward to this rp and meeting all of u !
