[bakubub]

In which racer!kuroo is your roommate, and seems to only like it when you treat his wounds... (word count: 1.9k)

Ngl quite proud of this one!!

Warnings: 18+, a whole lot of swearing, a whole lot of blood, innuendos and implied nsfw, reader almost vomits (NOT from pregnancy chill, I know we're all scarred but its going to be just fine) and if you're squeamish perhaps skip the scene where reader stitches his wound?

Also bit of a disclaimer: I am in NO WAY a med student and literally all of my knowledge is from movies and other fics... so if you acc know what to do in this situation this may be a torturous for you :D

All due credits go to @aikk00​ for this AMAZING fanart!!!!

I watch as my roommate enters the penthouse, once again scratched up and bleeding, covered in so much blood there is no possible way that it was all his- if it was he would not be standing.

I launch myself off the couch- where I was sitting for the past hour nervously waiting for his return- and slip my arm under his, supporting him as we inched towards the bathroom.

"I can do this by myself you know," he grumbles, his grimace revealing just how much pain he was actually in.

"Mhm, I'm sure you can. Just like you boiled that poor egg by yourself last week, hmm?" I say sarcastically, trying to keep my mind calm and clear, because oh my god it looks really bad this time...

"Oi, its not my fault it fuckin' exploded," he mutters, voice laden with pain.

"You put it in the microwave because 'the shitty water wasn't doing its job.' Of course it would explode," I say, gently seating him on the closed toilet seat and taking out my supplies that I unfortunately have become rather accustomed to using. He's made it a habit to get himself injured.

"Where's the injury?" I ask, setting down my half-empty bottle of antiseptic and box of bandages. He peels off his shirt, cringing at the pain it brought him as the fabric was stuck to the gash that went from his left pectoral down to the middle of his chest.

"Pissed off a bidder after winning a race, fucker took out a knife once he realised he couldn't beat me up," he huffs out, arrogance still lacing his tone even with sweat dripping down his brow as he leans the back of his head onto the tile wall behind him. His Adam's apple bobs down his bloodstained neck as he speaks, and I quickly look away, focusing on the injury at hand.

Not his blood soaked, but nevertheless well defined pectoral muscles, nor the abs that my hands occasionally brush up against and know how hard they really are, and definitely not the trail of black hairs that lead down, down, down...

"What's wrong, the view too hot to focus on the work at hand?" He asks suggestively, raising his pierced brow, even in this state.

I'm quick to reply, having gotten used to his flirtatious remarks from the second I moved into his penthouse, "nope can't even see the view from that massive head of yours. Not to mention your permanent bed head."

He huffs out a laugh, then proceeds to flinch from the pain it must have caused.

"Stop moving, idiot. You're going to exacerbate the cut!" I say, quickly grabbing a damp towel and beginning to clean up his abdomen, whilst simultaneously pressing another rag to his wound to stop the bleeding.

“At least you admit that there is a hot view,” he says in his low voice, gazing at me from his position.

I simply roll my eyes.

No falling in love. That was the deal we had made on the day he offered me a place to stay in exchange for my services as a maid and apparently, a nurse. I cook, clean and basically keep the house running while this moron goes out and acts like the idiot he is. In my defense, dorms are expensive as hell, and his penthouse is nearby. Plus, I don't have to pay rent. It's a win-win situation.

But the feelings stirring up inside my heart might just ruin the dynamic we have going on and simultaneously take out a whole lot of cash out of my pocket.

At least, that's what I keep telling myself.

Once his skin isn't completely saturated in blood, and the wound has (thankfully) stopped bleeding, I add some antiseptic onto a make-up pad and begin to dab at his wound, earning winces and slight grunts from the massive man.

"The cut looks deep, Kuroo. You need to go to the hospital," I say, worry lacing my tone as my eyebrows crease and earn yet another huffing laugh.

"Do you want me to rot in prison for the rest of my life?"

I roll my eyes at his response, deliberately dabbing just a little harder which earns me a yelp and an attempted glare in my direction.

"First off, illegal street racing won't send you to prison for your entire life, just for like, half a year. Second, this wound needs stitches, and believe it or not, I'm not a fucking licensed medic. In fact, the only experience I have is with you!" I say, immediately regretting my choice of words as I wait for his remark.

"That's what she said," He says, chuckling at his own innuendo.

I sigh in frustration, pouring more antiseptic to make sure there was no chance of infection from whatever grimy ass knife stabbed him, and beginning to gently scrub the wound with a soft towel, so as to make sure there was no debris left in there.

"You're gonna have ta do it," he mutters, his hazel eyes boring into mine.

"I- I can't Kuroo, you can't possibly think-"

"Fine. I'll do it. Go get me a needle and thread," he states, struggling but nevertheless, sitting upright on the red stained toilet.

I stare at Kuroo in disbelief as he utters these words. Was he dumber than I thought? Does he have some sort of head injury too?

I examine his face and all I come up with is unnerving determination. I exhale out of my nose sharply, "fine, dammit. I'll sew your fucking wound shut."

I am extremely handy with a sewing needle and thread, used to really be into embroidery back when I had the time so...it should be fine.

He just shrugs, leaning his head back against the tiles and closing his eyes.

"Fucking asshole. Can't believe I'm saving your damn life," I mutter, leaving the bathroom to dig through my wardrobe for my sewing box and taking out a gold silk thread that I was saving for a special project.

Well, I guess that will never happen.

"Hey, I found some silk thread. It's literally known for its strength and durability in high temperatures, so it should work like a charm!" I say, walking back into the blood stained bathroom and trying to psych myself up.

He grunts in response. I sigh as I begin with mopping up the excess blood and sanitising the needle and thread before chucking on gloves.

I wipe the antiseptic over the wound once more, and examine it carefully.

Well, if his condition worsens, I can always knock him out and call an ambulance...

I decide, screw it, and thread the needle, pretending it was just another embroidery project.

It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, I chant as I puncture his skin with the thin needle.

Kuroo gasps in pain, and I place a hand on his knee, telling him to suck it up and deal with it, half talking to him but also to myself.

To my surprise, he listens, stretching his head back once more and gritting his teeth.

"Don't do that, here put this in-between your teeth," I say, grabbing yet another towel and shoving it into his mouth.

He obeys as I continue to stitch. I feel my gag reflex kicking in as I think about how stitching skin feels as though I am stitching leather, it feels hard and tough while pushing the thin needle through.

Must hurt like a bitch.

Once I've completed my neat stitches down the wound, without vomiting, I tie it off as I would with any embroidery, and clean the area free of any remaining blood. After rubbing some antibacterial ointment over the gold stitches, I stick on a particularly large bandage over the wound and start tidying up.

"Thank you," Kuroo mutters, still seated on the toilet seat and practically panting for breath.

"Ah, the criminal knows his damn manners!! Now get up and get in the damn shower. You ruined my pristine bathroom!" I complain, putting the last of the materials away before walking to the door.

"Wait, I- I can't get up." I turn around and look at him incredulously as he utters his next few words, "will you... shower me?"

My eyes just about pop out of their sockets at his request. "Are you insane?! I'm not your mother, nor your wife! Call your pudding haired friend and tell him to come shower you!"

He shakes his head, a rare pleading look taking the place of his usual arrogant smirk, "Kenma's too lazy to shower himself, Y/n, please!"

I contemplated it for a moment. Sure, I've seen him naked before, accidentally of course, and so what if I have to scrub him clean. God knows he can't do it himself with that damn injury.

Fuck this shit.

"Fine, get up right now." I bark at him, leaving to change out of my blood soaked pjs into a pair of shorts and a tank.

"...I just said I can't."

---

"Ow, y/n, you're scrubbing too hard!" He complains, his exfoliating glove around my hand as I rub his toned back clean of any dead skin-cells and blood remains.

"But look how much stuff is coming off!" I say gleefully, enjoying this a little too much.

Kuroo, seated on the built-in bench in the open shower with his red boxers on, looks back to see the satisfaction dripping from my features.

"Are you secretly a sadist?" he whispers. In response, I begin to rinse off his raw back with hot water, causing him to screech like a cat.

"It burns, it burns-”

“Shut the fuck up, moron! It's 4 in the morning, you’re going to annoy our neighbours. I tried very hard to get in their good graces, and Mrs. Suzuki still doesn’t like me! She definitely thinks I’m some kind of hooker…” Kuroo laughs at this, and I can’t help but watch as his whole face brightens up from his usual emotionless expression. I find myself smiling in response.

I grab his expensive shampoo and pour some into my hands, beginning to massage it into his scalp. With wet hair, his raven strands are for once flat on his head and reach down to his defined jawline. Kuroo groans under my touch, leaning into my fingers. I snatch my hands back and pour hot water over his head.

"ARGH! Y/N!" He screams, hastily getting up and wetting me in the process.

"Ah- what are you-" I don't get to finish my question as he grabs my arm and yanks me next to him under the hot water, soaking my clothes and my hair.

"You asshole!" I screech as I reach up to pull his hair in defiance, but he only grabs my arm and hooks it around his neck, leaning down to look directly into my eyes.

Our noses brushing against one another, he mutters, "You look pretty with your hair wet and your shirt see through."

It takes me a moment to get past the compliment and to hear the perverted comment that he just uttered.

He sees my look of confusion and laughs, bends over, clutches his stomach and laughs, before bellowing in pain because of his injury.

Smiling smugly down at him as he grimaces, I force him to sit back down and continue massaging the shampoo into his hair, warning him that if he so much as moaned I would leave him in here, dripping wet and in pain.

"That's what he said," is his reply.

I smack his head in response.

Title: CONNECTION LOST

Words: 5800

Warnings: Rape (bow out if you need to, I will include a brief summary in the end notes), graphic descriptions of violence, graphic descriptions of trauma.

Summary: When it rains, it pours. And then the world starts to explode. So it's all just a giant mess.

ST Rambles: Did not upload yesterday because I wanted to take my time instead of rush this thing out. I truly hope you all have enjoyed the story thus far.

Okay, so. My ADN classes and clinical start again on Thursday. What this means: I'm taking a 2-3 week break from writing so I can get into a good rhythm for school and just find my bearings. I think this is a perfect place to take a break. It'll act as an intermission in a way. Jeez, I think you all have earned one by now.

[MASTERLIST]

Excess saline dripped in crimson creaks toward the floor, a bog forming beneath a shaking foot onto a towel. Two empty flushes laid in their respective positions, remaining diagonal to each other as they’d landed earlier. Another towel was set below your thigh as you propped it onto the bathroom counter with your knee bent over the edge, choosing to remain standing rather than chance losing the ability to crawl up from the floor if you’d sat. With every thumb-push of the syringe plunger new streaks of liquid agony soaked into the red, throbbing, raging wounds; each lick of searing solution reminding you of their harbinger, your tongue stained in acrid remembrance of the words which had fallen from it.

I hate you. The phrase you’d feared most had turned out to be the least insidious, its existence light-hearted in relation to the ones that came quickly after. The simple statement had catalyzed the catastrophe, its memory burning what remained of your heart, ashes now dormant and gray within your chest, each beat superficial in the way it sustained a life you no longer wanted. It was difficult to name what you were feeling, the uncertainty rooted in the fact that you were twisted in the clutch of grief and guilt while also floating in a nebula of numbness, the contradiction dissonant and dizzying.

With each haunting phrase, each sharp with a venomous bite, new collections of misery scathed into the scarring tissue, each tear acidic in its salty existence. A recoil was earned whenever recalling the wrath that inhabited Kylo Ren’s tone when he called you a liar, its mental presence ricocheting between your ears and setting your skin aflame with goosebumps, each wave of heated chills revitalizing the blistering burns as they settled into their intentional permanence.

Upon your left thigh, bright and belligerent and baleful, sitting just above the hem of your uniform, stung the evidence of Kylo Ren’s indignation. Staring down at the welts – two pointed, laser-sharp letters – shame accompanied the initial longing regard you held for the brand. You now bore the undeniable truth of your time with Kylo Ren, a raised K set in finality next to a partnering R, the pain-inked initials tied to a turmoil laden conflict you didn’t want to acknowledge. It was too pitiful, too pathetic and disgusting even in the infancy of its consideration.

At the fringes of your mind, the dark corners of consciousness you rarely visited, sprung an aching truth that thrashed against every belief you thought you’d once held. Yet, with each shiv of shaky air, every dagger of dread pitted in pain, you came closer to accepting it. Barely below the surface now, even as the injury pulsated with piercing torment, smarted in sync with the blatant beat of your heart, you could not deny the fact that you felt deserving of its detriment and relieved by its reality. As you tended to the wounds, using whatever scrapped supplies you’d accidentally brought home from the med bay, you fought to react in a way that would be appropriate to this situation.

The malice-born mark should have tinged your blood with fury. In its wake, the aura of red which bled outward from each initial should have filled your lungs with an indisputable hostility towards their maker. Right now, suffering in solitude, you were supposed to be cursing Kylo Ren, spitting his name and screaming hellfire over him as he’d singed into you. There was an overwhelming presence of heavy self-set expectation to sink into an unrivaled hatred for the creature you’d left in that room, the same who’d left less permanent proof in the past. Though, while the targeted tissue throbbed below your trembling hands as you attempted to apply an antibacterial protectant, you found it impossible to feel anything but misery for him.

The haunting image of Kylo Ren’s fleeting soul tore talons into your chest, a coughed sob echoing in your empty residence as you replayed the tangible change in his demeanor. Had light been scarce you swore you could’ve seen the shroud of darkness fog into his sclera, set his jaw flat and firm as he’d backed away from you. Swiping the salve over your wound you shuddered into yourself, time barely hindering the void tone with which he’d rescinded his trust, the abandonment in his voice contradicting the promise you’d made him the night he’d spoken protection over you.

Time ticked on, each second one of slow suffering. As you healed the outward wounds, inward ones formed fresh and raw, head pounding with pain and regret. Even that made wrought you with guilt. The whole reason you’d gone through with Snoke’s plan was to save Mason; his life had been equated to a trading card and it had been your doing. The least you could do was free him from the hell only intended for you. But, similar to the way regarded your new scars, shame took root in the acceptance that you didn’t deem the deal a fair wager.

Maybe it was just the immediacy of the situation, or maybe you were crueler than you’d once believed, but as you’d watched Kylo rip away from you, there was a silent moment where you wished you could allow yourself to embrace the selfishness that would keep him in your life. If you’d had the time to think on it, or if the ultimatum had been less dire, less fatal, in that moment you were swallowed by the fact that your choice would have been Kylo. Completely, entirely, wholly, undoubtedly, instantaneously. Mason had been a comfort for years, someone to rely on, the boy you’d founded a fictional future with. But you’d never wanted him the way you did Kylo. It was the most foreign, mortifying thought you’d ever held, but, however small, there was a part of you that would always choose Kylo. Over Mason. Over anyone.

“Fuck!” Anger swelled as a flare of pain lashed under your touch while applying a saline saturated gauze. “I hate this!” No one was around to hear you, but that was always when the harshest truths hit.

Steadying yourself with the counter and the door, you hobbled away from your working position, affected leg just barely grazing the ground while you made your way into the kitchen. “How did this even fucking happen? Why did it have to be me?” You stood away from a drawer, activating it and digging around until you found a roll of paper tape. “I left here this morning hating him. Why can’t I just go back? I-,” a strangle of tears came, fingers prying uselessly to find the start. “I want to go back.” Thick and faltered, the words fell from devastated lips.

Giving up on your hands you ripped your teeth into the waxy material, spitting the torn tape from your mouth once you finally found the start tab. A rush of hysterics hit, lungs stuttering in defensive laughter. “You can probably fucking hear me, I bet! What, you saw me then, why not now? Why wouldn’t you see me like this, you fucked, disgusting, wretched, voyeuristic scum!”

Pressing down on the damp gauze, keeping it in place, you reached into the drawer once more to grab a roll of left over Kerlix. Tearing it open – again, with your teeth – you pressed it against your upper thigh and held it in place, regarding your scars covered the surface area that spanned the length of your pinky, both horizontally and vertically. Wrapping the rolled gauze continuously around your upper thigh, you couldn’t help but appreciate how precise and clean the letters were. Even brandishing a pen of pain Kylo Ren’s handwriting was beautiful, the thought bringing you a hesitant warmth with a short burst of guilt. The uproar of conflict currently battling in your soul would surely be the death of you.

Taking the last strip of tape, you secured the dressing, smoothing your left hand over it to make sure friction was minimal. While doing so, you caught sight of a flashing message scrawling across in bright red capital letters. The radar had disappeared altogether, not only vacant of the red dot indicative of Kylo’s location, but even of the faint red lines it had moved across. Waiting until the message cycled through until the beginning, you felt your lungs empty as the last letter solidified the severance from your Master.

CONNECTION LOST

“No. No. No no no. Why?” Frenzied fingers tread through sweat sodden roots, pain shooting up your leg as it bore new weight. “I didn’t ever want this! Why? Why? Why?” Sinking to the floor, willfully basking in the pain, you crumpled onto the tile until ice bit the backs of your calves.

Heaves of air collected and left in rushed lungfuls, choked cries reverberating through the room while the heels of your hands dammed the influx of tears. A frantic effort was made to think of anything else, a distraction sought in the face of your now official loss. Cycling through this morning you recalled conversations held by stormtroopers on the Command Shuttle, sharing news and celebrating in the fact that the Republic had been destroyed just prior to landing on Takodana. Mason had gone out of his way all those weeks ago to tell you of the mandatory rally, only for neither of you to be on Starkiller to attend it. It had to have been at least two hours since it occurred, its contents and importance still a mystery to you. A shawl of shivers fell onto heavy shoulders, that feeling of dread you’d felt this morning reminding you of how this day had begun on an off note, like it was destined for doom.

A click and a hiss came from behind, your heart stalling and nose sniffling. The only other person who could have access to your residence was-

“Kylo?” It was a quiet plead.

There was no response, no movement. Unease struck the hairs on the back of your neck. Looking back to your watch, the same message still running across the screen, you didn’t know what to think. The first thing that came to mind was to grovel, to take his sudden presence in stride and fulfill your wishes of selfishness. This was your opportunity to tell him everything, already knowing the excruciating truth of not doing so earlier. Him coming back gave you the chance to right all the wrong done today.

Sloppy, careless movements brought you to your knees. Seething, you remained here while the stinging diminished. “Kylo, none of it was true! You were right. I don’t hate you. I don’t. I promise, I don’t. I can’t.” Confessions were abundant while he evaded your senses. “Snoke. It was all Snoke. He threatened Mason, and, and I had to. Please, you have to understand!”

There was still no answer, but a hiss; it was similar to the mask’s muzzle, but not exact. The difference was strange, like your ears were playing tricks. The sound was closer than the door, still out of sight.

“Kylo, I’m so sorry! I’ll do any- ah!” No matter how tender you tried to be, attempting to stand without pain proved impossible. “I’ll do anything. But please know that I didn’t mean any of that! You aren’t irredeemable. You’re not a bastard. I never… I never want to forget you.”

“And you won’t, I promise. Though, I’d prefer you call me by my name.”

Just as soon as you’d regained an upright posture, you nearly lost it. It was Robbie. He was in your residence. He was here. Robbie was here, talking, with you. At you.

“You know the one.” He came into view, armor intact other than his helmet. “Miss me?”

“How are you- how did you get-,”

“Mm, you really should be more careful, especially with belongings like this.” Robbie, wicked eyes slithering down your stature, held a black rectangle between two fingers. “You never know who might get a hold of them.”

As light glinted over the object your chest sunk in instant realization. It had been so long ago, such a minute occurrence that you hadn’t thought anything of it. All those weeks ago, only a few days after Kylo had barred your practice, you had lost the keycard he’d given you. The one that had been folded into his note was lost in an accidental run-in with a stormtrooper. Its absence had only been noticed a few hours after losing it in the cafeteria, when leaving Mason’s and having to get an emergency replacement that day.

“Don’t do this. You don’t have to do this.” A hobbled step neared you towards the counter.

“I told you the last time we spoke—” the card hit the floor with a booming clip, its sound lost in your pulse “—this isn’t over.” A slow step carried him forward, sending you back further. “Almost, but not just yet.”

His presence was mutilating, every muscle tensing even as your leg throbbed in rejection. The edge of the counter bit at the small of your back, hands gripping into the edges.

“Why are you doing this? Why now? Why me?” It seemed that was the question of the day. Two quivering lips took turns quieting pain and hiding fear.

“Why am I doing this?” He was a madman, visage void of sanity. Another calculated step forward, your pulse peaking. “I knew you were stupid, but this? Come on, you don’t actually think you’re completely innocent here, do you?”

One final step and he was smothering you, fury sweltering as it drifted from his skin to yours. His jugular vein was throbbing to match one prominent on his forehead. Kylo’s eyes may have resembled the emptiness of death, but Robbie’s were swimming with a vengeful desire to deliver it. Vomit rose when you smelled his breath, felt it hot over your nose in his proximity.

“Maybe you can learn, though.” He brushed a piece of your hair behind your ear, clammy hands slick over burning skin, scanning eyes set in thought. “Maybe you’re not completely helpless after all.”

Two hands strangled your own, tightened them to the counter as he pressed his chest against you, leaning down until he could bury his nose in the collar of your uniform. A complete breath hadn’t come since seeing him, head dizzying with thoughts of blame, rejection, and emergency.

“Why are you apologizing to Ren, huh?” Violating lips pressed into your neck, a whimper leaving as you fought to escape him, searching for the fasted route to safety while he couldn’t see you. “Say sorry to me, baby. It’s that simple.”

Self defense was useless against his armor. His lips pulled at your lobe, a gag forming at the touch. Twisting away from him, you peered down to the drawer and found a pair of scissors, their red handle bright in your periphery. The crushing weight over your hands became bruising, your throat thirsty for escape. The only way to evade him was to indulge him, to distract him with the very thing he sought most.

Repulsion clawed at your stomach. “You want me to apologize, correct?” Sultry words hid the sickness they brought.

Robbie hummed into your neck, nose now buried in your hair while he bucked his hips into you, fire sprouting from your wounds under the pressure. “That’s all I’ve wanted this whole time,” just as Snoke had claimed your last name, Robbie clutched your first, rolling it off in a purr.

“I bet you want me to say your name, too, right? You’d like that a lot?” Today had tested your ability to hide your true intentions. Brushing your thumbs along his hold, as much as you could under their restriction, you eyed the scissors. “The name I gave you?”

A grunt left him, another thrust into your brand fuzzing your vision. “Yes. Say my name. Apologize to me.”

Eyes shut tight while Robbie continued in his unwanted nearness, you swallowed hard. “Kiss me, then.” He stopped moving, shoulders still as air stalled in his lungs. “Kiss me and I’ll apologize. I’ll say your name.” It was a desperate hope to hold that he wouldn’t hear the shakiness of the offer.

“Dammit,” he breathed, “you can’t be taught.” Rage grated against his throat, grip leaving your hands and wrapping around your neck. He leaned you back over the counter, the stance awkward and agonizing. “What a stupid bitch! You think this is a trade? You ruined my life! You gave me an identity and ripped it away like it was nothing! Like I was nothing!”

Black pulsed at the corners of your vision, his face doubling and dizzying as you reached for the drawer, fingers inching over nondescript items. “Apologize! And maybe, maybe! I will let you leave here. How does that sound?”

Grappling your free hand over his clutch, you gagged for words, none escaping his compression while you collected saliva at the back of your mouth. You mouthed his name, eyes full of feigned pleads while your fingers found the scissors’ handle.

Robbie’s jaw quivered more while he watched you struggle. Your manipulation was working. That seemed to be a theme today. Though, this one was much easier to endure. Two murderous eyes flickered between yours, quicker and quicker with each movement until he released your throat just enough for you to form words.

Fist locked onto your weapon, adrenaline readying, you stared directly at him and hocked a gob of hot spit into his eyes. He went to shake it free, but your hand came up and slashed down through his brow and over his left cheek. Robbie’s hands flooded towards his face as you pushed him out of the way, scissors still in hand while you rushed for the door. But your leg was a hindrance, dragging behind you, eventually only hopping on the one when the pain began to cut deeper with each stride.

The door activated per your touch and basked you in the light of freedom, only for your head to fly backward as a fist dragged you away from safety. A string of winces left in line with a pouted scream. It barely registered but the exit hissed shut again, your forehead cracking against it with the same force that’d just been around your throat.

“This is what I’ve been waiting for—” a harsh inhale came at your nape “—you knew it all along. Away for months only to get new fucking security the moment you return?”

He had you pinned, legs splayed and arms flung out. Your forearms framed your head, his hands flat over your wrists and stealing every bit of opportunity. The scissors hung loosely under your hand, teetering closer to the floor with each second.

“You left me! I woke up and you were gone. Such a fucking cunt, and for no reason.”

“You are psychotic you sick, vile creature!” Pain seethed into your tone, bandage rubbing into the raised skin.

Robbie trembled with anger, his body vibrating at your back as he pressed further into your right hand so the scissors finally fell. “Maybe that voice was never beautiful.” His right arm bent your elbow behind your back so his abdomen could trap it there; when he was satisfied, he reached it around you so it lay flat in front of your mouth, grip wrapping around your left forearm. His head pushed into yours so your mouth went flush with his arm and your nose could barely attempt at breathing. “Maybe it was only ever annoying. Useless.”

You couldn’t escape him. There were no defenses left to attempt, the only one now bloodied at your feet. All you could do was endure. There was nothing left. No time. No saviors. All that remained was an overwhelming sense of guilt and a pestering question: did you deserve this? After all you’d done, all you’d been forced to do and go through with? In some way, was this karma? In turn for hurting the one you loved, you would be hurt by one who you’d wanted to love? Was this the restoration of balance?

A stifling hand rushed under your skirt, taking time to grope at the flesh over your underwear. Every effort to flex away from him was wasted, and there was so little left to fight for. The message that flashed over your left wrist taunted you, held you just as captive as the monster behind you; in saving two lives, doing what you thought was right, you had given up every aspect of your own. Robbie had snaked his touch beneath the thin fabric, now moving it aside and preparing his own clothing, and the only thing you could focus on was the patterned scrawl on your watch.

It was mocking you, emphasizing its point in the darkest moment of your life, your body stiff and scared with no lasting dignity. There was less than a person, less than a shell now. Each organ working to keep you alive was doing so in vain, purpose fleeting from your foggy thoughts; you’d returned to heal wounds you’d grown to want, and now you wouldn’t live to see them scab over.

You wretched onto his arm, biting down onto the flexed muscle, when you felt the head of his penis swipe over the back of your injured leg. Vomit threatened when his hips circled and he moaned, breath thick and satisfied.

“No, you’ll never forget me,” he huffed, “You won’t have the time.”

Robbie readied himself for penetration, your tears hot and obstructed at his arm, your eyes peering over at the watch as you tried to die at your own will first. Furious, unrefined disgust and shame stabbed your soul when you felt him proceed, felt him buck into you. Your brain couldn’t decide whether to catch fire or burn out, didn’t want to accept this as one of the last things you’d feel.

His breath shuddered at your neck, your cries silent and shattered beneath him. He attempted to speak, but something happened. Something sudden and fleeting and rapturous. A miracle born in the absence of hope.

The lights went out. Pitch blackness swallowed you, enveloped him and in tow distracted him. His restraints weakened and you slammed your head back against his, adrenaline softening the blow.

“Fuck!” Robbie tripped backwards, leaving you completely.

Stunned at the event, you stalled, not knowing what to do. You couldn’t move quick enough, Robbie catching your knee in his bent over position. It was nearly impossible to see him, but the red cast of your watch threw crimson shadows just far enough to glint off his bloodied features. He wasn’t going to give up until one of you was dead.

“Get off of me!” Of course he’d attached himself to the leg currently rippling pain through your body.

“We’re not finished!” A rough tug brought you down next to him where he attempted to climb on top of you, your fingers digging into his eyes and sending him to his back.

“No—” scrambling fingers searched the dark for your earlier weapon, drying blood sticking when you found it “—we’re not.”

Red. Everything was red. Robbie’s face. The blood which dripped from it. Your hands, the same blood streaking and drying in place. He couldn’t see you’d gained the upper hand. In a final glance over the animal beside you, searching him for humanity and drawing a blank, you felt your heart stutter with a decision that would mark you for life. A mark you’d make yourself.

Interlocking your fingers over the red handle, two steady hands pulsating over the hard object, you brought your arms up and slammed them down with insurgence, hitting the break in his uniform over his right inner thigh. Robbie roared in response, his howls echoing into the nothingness which surrounded him. The red haze of your radar glinted off the pool of blood forming beneath him. With each second, each flashing moment, it grew wider and fuller.

With a hard swallow, relief barely recognizable, you looked into his wide eyes just as the ground began to shake. “Now we’re done.”

Without dropping his stare, your hand slammed to activate the door and you backed out of your residence, watching him fade from view when it locked in front of you. It had to be done. He would’ve done the same. It was him or you. In searching for a reason why, you saw a change in the light coming from your watch. The flashing was different, and it started vibrating. Lifting it to your face, you found the message missing and the radar returned. It was fading in and out, though.

No matter, you were rushed back into the reality of people running past and into the floor lobby. A crowd surrounded the elevator, anger being pushed into the button when it wouldn’t respond. You and your floormates were exiles, the floor continuing its violent shaking. A cloud of rushed and flustered conversation plumed down the hall before every face turned towards you.

“Stairs,” said a quiet collection. “Stairs!”

A group of two dozen people stormed in your direction, their speed scaring you past your pain and into the stairwell. The group moved over each other, the leader switching between you and two men. It was a hushed chaos of stomping feet and fast breath. Nobody would make any noise other than the occasional grunt. On the fourth flight of stairs, more and more people piling out from the doors of their respective floors, your leg began to ache again. Though every step burned into you, you knew you had to escape this. You’d escaped much worse just a minute ago, and, for whatever reason, you were still living. Unknown to you, only revealing itself when it was entirely too necessary, there was a fight in you, and whether it be for yourself or someone or something else, you indulged in it with each step.

When the now stampede of officers of all backgrounds pushed past the doors into the Elite docking bay an alarming new mayhem ripped into realization. Hoards of people were fumbling and climbing over each other while screams tore through the room from all directions. TIEs were being crowded with as many bodies that could fit, and then some. The group you’d arrived with all flailed out, each person on their own journey towards safety.

Right where you’d left it earlier, before every horrible thing had gone on, sat the Command Shuttle. Even this far you could hear the engines stirring. Your legs took over and carried you as fast as they could, no matter the injury or barricades of people. The hell that had been born on this forsaken base would die with it, but you refused to do the same.

Each stride brought you closer the now ascending ramp, watching it close as you caught a glimpse of the future you wanted and were going to fight like hell to protect. One, two, three sloppy paces and your foot caught on the elevated ramp, your body sliding into the ship as it closed completely under you.

Desperate breaths stifled a groan as you slid across the floor. A white boot stomped in front of your face as you remained splayed and heaving beside it.

“Clearance?” It was a command, however useless as you felt the ship lift from the ground.

A dark thought crossed your mind – well, do you want my watch, or my keycard, or my uniform, or my leg? Rolling over you found General Hux standing on your opposite side. A thick gulp came as you patted your left arm to your chest, tracing over R – E – N to point towards your position.

“I’m his nurse.” Each word was separate and gasped. “His. I’m his. Commander Ren, I’m his nurse.”

The stormtrooper looked to Hux for approval, only for Hux to look at you with grim, stunned eyes and nod his head. “She’s authorized,” he said. He turned toward the bow of the ship. “Proceed to Ren’s location.”

Remaining on the floor, you felt the ship vibrate into your tired chest, felt the adrenaline course through you in violent pulsations. A veil was cast over your mind, everything close yet distant, present yet past. The only thing you registered was when the ship descended once more and sent your body towards the hatch again. Gripping onto the edge of a seat you strained your arms to keep still, not knowing what was going on, just aware you were still breathing.

Six pairs of boots crowded and fled the now open hatch, frigid air stinging over heated skin. “We’ll get his right, you three get his left!”

Ren’s location? Get his left? “What’s going on? Where is Ren?”

Your questions fell on absent ears, Hux now standing and staring out at the threshold until turning his body to allow the men more room.

“He’s breathing, General, but-,”

“But what?” It was the loudest you’d been since screaming in the halls.

Forcing yourself onto your knees, relying on the adrenaline keeping your own pain at bay, you stood to see your Commander being lowered onto the ground, three men at either of his sides seemingly struggling under his weight.

It was an automatic response to rush to him, to begin searching for injuries and checking for airway, breathing, and circulation hindrances. There wasn’t much hiding the emergency residing over his right side, splitting the skin and muscle apart in a broken, bloody stripe. It flayed his face, red streaks spilling from it and glinting in the low light of the ship.

“Stars! Someone get me some light!” you screamed, command taking over. This was your patient. This was your future. You were going to protect him. No matter what, that’s what you were going to do.

Two soldiers jumped at your voice, flooding away and falling into the wall when the ship catapulted upward once more. One grappled for the back wall and pulled a black box with a red medic symbol engraved on top. He threw it to the second and the three next to you scattered so he could open it for you and shine an overhead light.

“Hey! You three—” you barely glanced at the men before gesturing them down “—take these and apply heavy pressure when I say, understand?”

None of them moved when you threw three dense collection pads toward them. “DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?” They all quickly grabbed one and waited for your go ahead.

Angling yourself so you could finally find Kylo’s eyes, you leaned over him and watched as he seethed away; you didn’t know if this was a reaction aimed towards you or due to the very obvious pain he was in.

“Kylo,” you whispered, knowing it was too loud and chaotic for anyone else to hear or care, “you’re going to feel pressure and then it’s going to be really painful, but I need to make sure the bleeding stops. Just be prepared.”

He looked up at you like he’d never met you, like you were a perfect stranger. It wasn’t the nothingness from before, but instead something more alive. Wonderment, almost. Or shock. That was a more reasonable emotion at this moment.

Keeping his stare, you gestured the three waiting men with your hand. “Now.”

The men plunged the sponges into his wound and watched as the material expanded and filled with blood. Kylo’s jaw set firm and fluttered by his ear. A quiet grunt left him while your own breath caught. Watching him so pained and wounded was an impossible act. The only thought you’d allow yourself to have was of the relief you’d have once he was being cared for by a team from wherever the ship was heading.

Something warm washed over your right knee. Looking away from him you found it was more blood, another wound on the side of his abdomen dripping through his uniform.

“Fuck, I swear!” You threw your hands over it, pushing deep into his tissue. “How much longer till-,”

The ship answered your question before you could finish it, slightly angling to the side as it went into a rough, screeching landing. Kylo grimaced at this just slightly, lip trembling only a second before he returned to that same shock, staring up at you in silence.

Light seared into the ship when the ramp fell without effort, hitting the floor with two loud bangs. Before you could register, a team of medical professionals slid a transfer board below him and went to move. You grabbed one of the handles on the side, remaining at his waist while you watched him, keeping steady pressure over his abdomen. Blood sopping onto your hands and burying Robbie’s.

“How long has he been like this?” came an indiscriminate voice from behind you. A man, again. The same one who’d helped you with Talia. The physician you’d worked with to save your patient.

“We collected him probably five minutes ago. Initially I only noticed the one gash but found another two minutes ago. There has been constant pressure applied since discovery. The patient is semi-alert, not responding verbally, but appears to be awake.” There was no time for stuttering, the group closing in on the entrance to the Elite med bay.

“Another one right over his shoulder, sir.” Another voice, female this time, came from behind.

“I’m ordering stat fluids and blood replacement therapy. Along with that I will instruct the pharmacy to have antibiotics ready and for the arrival team to gain the appropriate IV access first thing.” The team pushed into the assessment room you’d come to know all too well, your feet stopping as the physician’s did next to you.

“Do you approve of those orders?” He snaked his head to get your attention.

Stunned, shell-shocked eyes peered up at him, head dizzy and ears rushing with blood. “I’m sorry, what?”

“You’re his nurse. You got him this far. Do you think anything else needs to be added to the immediate care plan?”

You’d meant to say no, to agree that the physician was appropriate and logical in his treatment. Instead, your eyes fluttered shut as sound began to fade. The ceiling grew in distance while you felt your knees give out.

“Get her head!”

The last thing you registered was a hand at the back of your neck and the sound of urgent feet rushing toward you. There was a faint set of three beeps which accompanied your fall, monitors running beyond the threshold where Kylo was receiving care. A team was caring for him. He was safe. You could rest now. You could heal now.

And so you did.

8 Best Teas for Anxiety & Stress Relief

( Image from Pinterest )

Are you a coffee addict? I know I used to be one. For me, it was 3 cups of coffee a day and it definitely didn't keep the doctor away. I slowly realised that it didn't really help with my health, mood and appearance. I would wake up every morning feeling groggy. I wouldn’t be able to start a proper conversation without coffee and it didn't help with my anxiety either. Took me a while but I finally found a better beverage to indulge. 

Hi, my name is Anamida and I am now a tea addict. 

Nothing like a warm cup of tea to slow you down and brighten up your day. So here are some of my favourite teas that has helped me with my daily life. 

Chamomile Tea

One of the most well-known fragrant teas that has an apple like aroma. It is a flowering herb (which has zero caffeine) that looks like a tiny daisy and is widely used as a natural medicine due to its health benefits. 

Helps relieve anxiety disorders, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and stress

Many rely on chamomile as a muscle relaxant. It acts like a natural sedative and helps reduce muscle spasm because of its anti-inflammatory properties. Great for people who suffer form indigestion, gastrointestinal disorder, insomnia, chronic cramps, and seizures. It is the perfect drink to help you unwind at night and is beautiful paired with honey and cinnamon. If you still have a hard time dozing off, try pairing it with lavender.

May have side effects such as drowsiness so don’t drink and drive. Not recommended for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Please consult with your doctor.

Rose Tea

Just like chamomile tea, rose tea has its own unique health benefits. If you enjoy spending your free time at the spa, they would usually provide a flower bath filled with rose petals. Why is that? 

High in Vitamin C and helps reduce stress

Great to put in your skin care routine because it is antioxidant. Helps lighten visible scars, speeds up healing and boost immune system. Rose tea works the same once it is in your system. It may also help women with menstrual discomfort and heavy flows. If phlegm starts to build up, rose tea is a natural phlegm breaker, especially when paired with rosemary. 

Green Tea 

It lives up to its name because its green and leafy. Unlike chamomile, green tea has caffeine. But it doesn't make you jittery as to drinking coffee.

Packed with nutritions

Green tea is an anti-aging beverage and just like rose tea, it is antioxidant. But not a lot of people know that it is antibacterial too. So if you decide to have Japanese food for dinner, green tea helps with getting rid of the fishy aftertaste and smell in your mouth because it helps fight bad breath. 

It also helps people with high blood pressure or anxiety because green tea lowers your blood pressure. But if you suffer from anaemia, it may have side effects so please consult with your doctor. I find green tea a great drink for daytime especially during meditation. Overall, green tea is great for the body and mind.

Peppermint Tea

The safest tea to consume for all ages. Just like green tea, it looks green and leafy but it is caffeine-free. So kids can enjoy it as well. 

Anti-Inflammatory 

When I think of peppermint, I think of candy canes and Christmas. Because of its cooling sensation, peppermint tea helps with stress, headaches, colds, and tummy aches. I find it very useful after eating a heavy meal because it gives a boost of energy when feeling fatigue. Because of its anti-inflammatory properties, it eases tension, migraine, stomach bloating and gas. You can also use peppermint as a mouthwash. Good for gargle especially after a wisdom tooth extraction.

If you are on diet, I come bearing good news. It has ZERO calories so not to worry. If you are allergic, consult your doctor.

Lavender Tea

Best known for healing pain and anxiety. It is one of the most top fragrance, from teas to soaps and oils. It is loved by many because of it’s calm and soothing aroma.

Natural sedative, antidepressant and reduces inflammation 

Can be taken pure or paired with chamomile if you find yourself tossing and turning in the middle of the night. It consists of zinc, magnesium and potassium which may help if you’re in need of a better and longer sleep.

Lavender tea contains high amounts of antibacterial, antioxidants and anti-fungal. Just like rose tea, it boosts immune system and makes it easier for the human body to fight viral infections.

It is also reported to heal wounds, burns and eases mild eczema. Because of its anti-inflammatory properties, lavender tea also supports digestive health. It can help stomach pain, gastric, nausea and diarrhea.

If you find yourself having an allergic reaction, consult with your doctor right away.

Valerian Root Tea

Another best known flower plant used to treat insomnia, headaches and anxiety. If you’re a herbal tea addict, then valerian root tea might be the tea for you. It has a strong earthy smell which is great to consume before or after meditation.

Reduces OCD symptoms and digestive problems

Valerian root tea is a natural pain killer and muscle relaxant. It calms the nerves and is good for those who suffer from seizures and heart palpitations. 

May have side effects such as drowsiness. Do not take with medication or alcohol. Please consult with your doctor.

Lemon Balm Tea

It is traditionally used to treat heart palpitations which is best for those who suffer from anxiety and severe panic attacks.

Improves mood and focus

Lemon balm tea is a leafy herb which has antibacterial properties. Because of its refreshing lemon scent, it is reported to lighten up your mood and helps you focus better. When mixed with peppermint, it helps reduce inflammation, bloating and soothes constipation. Also reportedly to reduce PMS and weight gain.

Please consult with your doctor before consuming because lemon balm tea lowers blood sugar level. Avoid if you have hypothyroid because it clashes with thyroid medications.

Passionflower Tea

Passionflower is an exotic vine flower with purple and blue petals. It is traditionally used to soothe the nervous system which helps with stress, anxiety and depression.

Regulates blood pressure and mild hypertension

The same as most of the teas I’ve listed down, passionflower tea is anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. May help with mild cuts and bruises. Stress and anxiety may lead to hair loss. The chemicals in passionflower have soothing and sleep-inducing effects which also helps treat dry hair, irritated scalp and insomnia.  

Avoid when pregnant or breastfeeding. Avoid if you have heart problems because it interferes with blood thinning and other medications. Consult your doctor before consuming.

Thank you for reading The Kyoshi Weekly.

Let’s heal together,

Chapter 6 - Nightmares and Dream Demons

Ford has some explaining to do, and Mabel has a nightmare.

1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 7

AO3

Ford couldn’t move. His legs felt like lead, his eye burned, and his head felt like there was a crack splitting it right down the middle. Everything hurt. He had never felt this terrible before but there was something almost familiar about it. Almost as if…

Forcing his hand to move, Ford touched his eye then pulled it back, dreading what he might see. And there it was - blood.

“Oh no…”

This was...bad, very bad. He had fallen asleep, Bill had…

Then he remembered what he had first seen when he had…woken up - was that the right word? He didn’t even know anymore but…Dipper.

Trying to ignore the pain, he looked up at the kid again, keeping his bloody eye shut. He knew from experience that trying to open it would only make it hurt more. He would have to treat it and then keep it closed as much as he could.

As he looked up though, any musings about his eye died. Because Dipper was staring at him, horror etched on every inch of his face. He looked terrified.

Oh gosh…what had Bill done to him? Wait. If Bill had hurt Dipper then…there was no way the kid was working with the demon. Then again Bill had hurt Ford plenty of times…but if Dipper was down here, he must have been trying to stop Bill, right? And if he was trying to stop Bill then he wasn’t working with him…maybe…probably…

A groan escaped Ford as he tried to figure out what to think, but thinking about anything was like trying to wade through a swamp covered in needles. It was painful and near impossible.

“I-I won’t l-let you t-turn on this m-machine.” Dipper’s voice was shaky, his body was trembling like crazy, and if Ford was seeing correctly – which he might not be – it almost looked like tears were glistening in his eyes.

Okay…the chances of Dipper working with Bill were pretty small if his current state was anything to go by. Unless the kid was a very good actor, but…Ford doubted it. Or maybe he just didn’t have the ability to doubt. He didn’t know. However, he did feel like he needed to say something. If only to let Dipper know that Bill wasn’t here. Or at least that he wasn’t in control of his body anymore. So, despite not wanting to talk or move or do anything, Ford forced himself to speak.

“He’s gone, Dipper. I…Bill’s not…it’s me now…” Ford was surprised by how quiet his voice was, but he couldn’t force himself to speak louder. Not now, not when talking took almost all of his concentration and energy.

Dipper looked at Ford hesitantly, fear still evident in how his body was curled up under him.

Crap. This would take some time to make right…though, Ford wondered if making it right was even a possibility. From the look of it, Ford had really put Dipper through something. And from the pain radiating through his own body, Dipper had put up a good fight. Making that right would be pretty much impossible…but at least he could explain.

A shiver ran down Ford’s back and his head screamed in pain as he heard voiced whispering around him. Couldn’t he get a break from them for one minute?!? Shutting his good eye, he tried steeling himself, readying himself to move. They couldn’t stay down here. It was too dangerous. He already felt seconds away from blacking out and if Bill came back…well the only upside was that Ford’s body might be too exhausted for the demon to do anything but…it wasn’t a risk he was willing to take.

Forcing his legs to move, Ford maneuvered his body until he was crouching, then, gritting his teeth, he stood up. His body swayed and if it wasn’t for the desk next to him, he would’ve fallen on his face.

“D-don’t-“ Dipper’s voice sounded shakily from the floor and Ford peaked his eye open to see the kid trying to scramble to his feet, but he was shaking so violently that he looked about a second away from collapsing.

Man…they were both in bad shape.

“It’s okay, Dipper. We-we need to get upstairs.” Ford’s throat ached as he spoke. Bill must have been screaming with his voice. Just another reason not to let himself sleep again. Not until all of this was fixed at least, not until Bill was out of his mind.

Reaching out, Ford offered a hand to Dipper, even though he didn’t know how much he would be able to help the kid, seeing as he was barely able to keep himself upright.

Dipper glanced at the hand, then at Ford. He didn’t look reassured, but he slowly reached out and accepted the help.

They both shakily made their way into the elevator and as Ford pressed the button, he leaned heavily against the wall. All he wanted to do was slide to the floor and not move for ten hours. But that wasn’t an option. So he pressed his hand into the wall, sending a fresh wave of pain through his body. Pain wasn’t fun, but it sometimes helped him stay awake. As long as it wasn’t too intense.

The next few minutes went by in a painfully draining fog. Making their way back to the parlor, Ford left Dipper in the front room because the kid was barely able to stand on his own. Then he somehow managed to get to the medicine cabinet in the bathroom and took a few pain killers – though not too many seeing as that might put him to sleep. He also tried his best to clean his eye, though he wasted at least five drops because his hand was shaking so much. Then he stuffed some padding on it and covered it with an old eye patch. He didn’t even remember where he had gotten it, or if he had made it, but for some reason looking at it made him think of Stan.

Gosh…he could really use Stan right now. But…it had been days since he send the postcard…he…he needed to start considering other options. Maybe he could look for Fiddleford…though he doubted his friend would be very eager to help him again, not after…

Pushing the thought away. Ford grabbed the pain killers, a few antibacterial wipes, and band aids before forcing himself to stumble back to the front room so he could take care of the scrapes that he had seen all over Dipper’s body. Scrapes that he had caused…

As Ford stepped back into the parlor, he saw Dipper fumble to his feet, as if he still didn’t trust Ford which was reasonable. But only made Ford feel even worse. How could he have allowed this to happen?

Holding out a hand in a placating gesture, Ford held up the bandages. “I just brought some supplies for your injuries.”

For a moment, Dipper just looked at him, his eyes flicking to the eyepatch, then to the medical supplies, before he relaxed a little and collapsed on the couch.

Squeezing his hand into a fist to send a wave of pain through his arm, Ford blinked his good eye and forced away any thought of sleep before crouching down in front of Dipper. With shaky hands, he did his best to clean up the few scrapes on Dipper’s arms and legs, though he winced every time Dipper make a sound because he had caused that pain.

“Here, take these.” Ford handed Dipper a few pills, hoping he hadn’t overestimated the amount.

Dipper accepted the round pills and swallowed them without water – though after Ford saw him swallow a few times, he realized maybe he should’ve gotten a glass of water too.

Man, this was a mess. And Ford didn’t know what to do. Dipper could not stay here any longer - it was too dangerous. But there was no place to take him seeing as he was from the future. Gosh, why couldn’t this have happened a few months ago when Bill wasn’t trying to control every move he made? Okay, maybe Bill had always been doing that but…Ford was aware of it now and it was…much more draining than before.

“…who…who is Bill?”

Dipper’s quiet voice interrupted Ford’s thoughts and he focused back to the present, knowing he couldn’t keep pushing away the current dilemma but also not having a clue as to what he was supposed to do. Plus, he owed the kid and explanation…despite the fact that Bill was the last thing he wanted to talk about.

“He is…the worst anomaly I’ve ever encountered…”

A moment then, “I think I remember…something in your journal about him…but I can’t…remember all of it…”

Taking a deep breath, Ford steeled himself for talking about the demon who was living in his mind, who was haunting him, controlling him, and slowly destroying him. “There is…a lot more to him than I’ve written about…it-it all started a few months ago…”

--------------------

Colors lit up the sky, more colors than anyone would be able to name – well, anyone but Mabel. Fuchsia, magenta, indigo, amaranth. As she saw a new color she shouted out its name to the sky. Every time she did, a unicorn would run by and yell it back, which resulted in Mabel’s grin growing bigger and bigger until it was so big it would’ve hurt anyone’s mouth, but not hers! It was perfect. Peaceful with just the right amount of crazy that made her feel right at home. Oh yes this was-

“Mabel!”

The voice was barely a whisper, but it frozen Mabel in her tracks. The colors of the sky darkened and started swirling around her like a tornado. But she didn’t care because that voice…

“Dipper?!?”

“Mabel!” It was barely audible, but Mabel started running, wind pulling on her clothes as the world around her was slowly turning into a torrent of color and destruction.

“Dipper, where are you?!?” Mabel shouted into the wind, but her voice only slammed back into her.

Another whisper…maybe, but she could barely hear it over the wind. She called out again but this time there was nothing, no response. Only the deafening wind that was sucking every ounce of color from the world around her.

“DIPPER!” Shouting with all of her might, Mabel desperately searched for her brother, but darkness was suffocating her. Light was fading, and a blackness that she could feel was starting to stick to her.

She called out again, but her voice was only a whisper, as if the darkness was taking everything good out of the world, and as it tugged at her, she realized she was next.

“Dipper! Someone! Help!” Despite screaming as loud as she could, she couldn’t even hear her own words. Fear gripped her and she tried to run, tried to do anything, but she couldn’t move.

“Ow!”

Sensation came whirling back around Mabel as her eyes shot open, her arms were being restricted by something, which didn’t help the terror of the dream. She tried to get her baring, but panic was overwhelming her. Then arms gripped her shoulders. She tried pulling away, but a familiar voice sounded and she froze.

“Easy, kid, it’s okay! It was just a dream.”

Stan. For a moment, she just stared at him. Because he didn’t look right. But as the dream slowly faded, she remembered where she was, when she was. And suddenly the weight of the nightmare grew once again.

“Just breathe. And here, you are a little…” Stan leaned over and unbuckled the seatbelt, which was wrapped around her. That and her twisted up sweater explained why she felt so constricted. When she could move again, her chest eased a little.

“Better?”

Mabel managed a nod, but she couldn’t help but shake the feeling that there was something more to the dream than just her own subconscious. Then again, she did have a strong imagination, as her mom always said. Maybe it was just her own brain making a dream out of her circumstances? Though why would it make such a terrible one?

“Sheesh, some dream, huh?”

Trying to shake away the unease in her chest, Mabel focused on Stan, and then the scenery around them. She hadn’t even noticed the cold air had been blowing in from outside, but now she could see the small flurries of snow in the air, fluttering through the trees that lined the road. It was not what she had fallen asleep to and she realized Stan must have been driving while she was sleeping.

“W-where are we?”

“Idaho, I think?” Stan looked around, then pulled a map out of his pocket and after a few seconds pointed to a road on it. “Somewhere around here. Getting closer to Gravity Falls.”

Mabel looked at the map, something she was sure Dipper might enjoy, but she just found herself confused by all of the different lines. Then she spotted something alone the line that Stan was pointing at. A dot labeled Twin Falls. Just the name weighted heavy on her and she hugged her sweater a little tighter to herself. She had heard Dipper in her dream, but…it wasn’t the same as actually seeing him or hearing him in real life…

“You want to move up front? We might be able to find some food at the next town.”

The question rang around in Mabel’s head, as if her brain didn’t totally understand it, but she forced herself to nod. Food would be good. And soon they would be in Gravity Falls and then…well…one step at a time, right?

After moving to the front of the car, Stan pulled back onto the road, and Mabel realized he must have pulled over to wake her up…man she hadn’t had a dream that bad in…come to think of it she didn’t know if she’d ever had a nightmare like that before.

They stopped in Twin Falls, which was a pretty small town, and to her relief, Mabel didn’t feel as weighed down by it as she had when she first read the name. Maybe the drive had calmed her, or maybe it was because small towns always had such fun things to look at, but she found she enjoyed the little store they went in to. And Stan buying her a super swirly lollipop might have helped a little too.

Getting back into the car almost felt, disheartening. Mabel wished she could just stay there forever. It felt like Gravity Falls had - carefree and different, but a good different. Some place you could stay for a summer and get to know everything about it – then again, most small towns where that way. But even as the sadness grew in her chest, she knew she had to leave. She couldn’t stay here, in 1980 something – despite kind of wishing she could. Not that she disliked the 2010s, they were great and she had to admit a cellphone would be nice right about now, but she had always loved the 80s. If she wasn’t separated from Dipper without a way to get home it could almost be fun.

“Ready?” Stan asked as he closed the door.

Mabel took one last look at the town and made a mental note to visit again sometime, even if it would look different in 30 years, then nodded.

The town disappeared and soon it got cold. Despite the heater blowing on her, Mabel kept shivering as they drove closer and closer to their destination. Looking at the snow falling seemed to make it feel even colder than it was, and she had to admit, Stan’s heater wasn’t really very good at…heating. It was more like a mild warm than hot.

And as the storm blew, it slowly started chipping away at Mabel’s certainty at this whole plan. What if she was making a mistake? What if Dipper was still looking for her in New Mexico? What if he wasn’t even in this time period and she was just going to a dead end?

“So, you know your great uncle’s address?”

Stan’s voice brought all of Mabel’s thoughts crashing into each other. Did she know…? Oh…right…the great uncle that she had ‘made up’ but not really made up because he was sitting in the car next to her. But she couldn’t tell him that.

“Ummm…no…” A lie, but, if she said an address with the same road as the postcard it might seem a little strange.

Stan let out a sigh. “Okay, I guess we can head into town and find a phonebook and we can look it up-“

“No!”

The car swerved and Mabel wasn’t sure if it was because of her shout, or because Stan lost control of the car. The weather wasn’t exactly very…driving friendly.

“I-the storm is really bad! Couldn’t we just wait it out at your brother’s place?” Mabel’s heart was racing, and she wasn’t sure if it was from the swerving or the fact that this could all fall apart if Stan didn’t let her stay with him. Though she supposed it might be a mixture of both.

“Look, kid, I…it’s really best if we just find your family’s place. Trust me.”

Trust him. Mabel did trust him, and maybe if she wasn’t freaking out, she would’ve realized he was just trying to do the safest thing for her, but right now all she knew was that she had to convince Stan to let her tag along to his brother’s house. Because she didn’t have any other place to go and if he figured out that she had kind of been lying well…she wasn’t sure how he would react.

Then the smallest idea started forming in her mind. It wasn’t great but…it was her best bet…

--------------------

“I found a cave painting of this…creature. The…the people seemed to be worshiping it. Some kind of...supernatural power. The writings were vague, but there were instructions to summon him and a warning against doing so…I…didn’t listen.”

Ford’s eyes were fixed on the ground, and despite his head feeling like it was full of cotton, Dipper could hear the guilt in his voice. A knot grew in his stomach. He knew what that was like…if he had just let Robbie ask out Wendy, he would be at the Mystery Shack he knew with only his normal scrapes on his knees from running around outside.

“…at first, I… I thought Bill was my friend, he helped me with a project, I…the portal in the basement, I-“ Ford shook his head before continuing. “He told me he was a muse and I believed it until…” With a deep breath, he looked up at the wall, but he didn’t continue, as if he was lost in memory.

Dipper glanced at the wall, wincing a little because even that small movement hurt. Gosh he hadn’t hurt this much since that one PE class… There was nothing on the wall, it was just…plain. For a moment, Dipper thought Ford was done talking, but then he let out a long breath and spoke again.

“He was lying, he just wanted to use me to open up a gateway between our world and his…and I was stupid enough to listen because…”A frown, another sigh. “All someone has to do is turn on the portal and Bill can come into our dimension and do whatever he wants to it…”

Questions were swirling around in Dipper’s brain, but it was hard to get a grasp on them when his head was throbbing and his body felt like lead. “But…how…why…he was in you…right?”

What could only be described as a wince crossed Ford’s face and he closed his good eye. Dipper thought he heard muttering, but it was hard to tell though the fog of his own mind.

Then “…I made a deal with Bill I…I let him into my mind to…help me build the portal.” Ford’s voice was quiet, but then it dropped to muttering again. However, this time, Dipper managed to catch what he said. “I was such an idiot.”

“So…he…he’s in your mind…right now?” Dipper hated how scared he sounded, but he couldn’t help it. If Ford - or really Bill – started going all crazy again, he didn’t think he could stop him in this state.

“I…yes…but…no, it’s…” Letting out a long breath, Ford placed his hands over his eyes and not moving an inch as he sat on the couch. The wind outside was the only thing that broke the silence. Then he spoke again. “He’s there but…he’s can’t take over unless I let him or I…I’m asleep. It’s the only way he can access this world without the portal or someone summoning him. And I’ve been doing everything I can to keep him at bay but…” He sat up a little and looked at his hand. “Humans can only go for so long without sleep and I’m no exception…” His hand dropped into his lap and he sighed as he looked at Dipper. “I’m sorry for that, I never…I shouldn’t have let Bill take over.”

Despite his decreased thinking ability, Dipper found that it wasn’t hard to understand what Ford was saying. At least parts of it. Either Ford was so tired, Bill had taken over and he couldn’t stop him, or he had fallen asleep. Both cases didn’t seem like things that Ford could’ve stopped. Not that Dipper wanted everything to have happened as it did - especially because every time he caught sight of Ford’s eye he was taken back to the basement and the terrifying cat like eyes… But at least he understood it all now. And Ford had apologized… and from everything he had seen, Dipper had no reason to believe that he didn’t mean it.

“What…what are we supposed to do now?” It was the first thing that came to Dipper’s mind, because what in the world were you supposed to do when there was some sort of dream demon in the mind of the only person you kind of knew in a time you didn’t belong?

“I…you should rest, I…I’ll figure something out…”

Rest. Yeah, like that was going to happen. Okay, sure, sleeping did sound good, but Dipper doubted he was going to be able to rest. Especially when Ford was going on even less sleep and more injuries that him. Still, maybe he could just, lie down a little…let his body relax a little even though he knew his mind wouldn’t.

However, as Dipper lied down, another question popped into his head, or maybe it just became clearer because he was pretty sure if he wasn’t so out of it he would have a bazillion more questions.

“Why did your eye bleed?”

A sigh. “A side effect of Bill. He only has one eye so, I guess having an extra one doesn’t…mesh well.”

One eye…Dipper closed his eyes, trying to picture the page in the journal. One eye. The worst anomaly. Bill. “Wait is he…a triangle?” Opening his eyes, Dipper looked at Ford, who was starting at him in shock, only to relax as soon as Dipper said, “Your journal.”

“Right…yes. I did write about him a little in my third journal…” For a moment, Ford just stared at his lap, but then he got up – though it looked much harder than it would be for anyone else. Once again, Dipper felt fear grip him. Yeah, he could not let his guard down.

Then Ford did something that was downright…strange, but not in a bad way. He reached over and pulled the blankets up over Dipper’s shoulder and patted his head once.

“Rest.”

--------------------

Bang, bang, bang.

Dipper bolted upright and groaned as soon as he did. Everything seemed to hurt even more than before, and only when he blinked the sand out of his eyes did he realized he much has fallen asleep. Crap.

“Stay there.”

Ford’s voice came from the entryway to the room and he carefully made his way towards the door, grabbing the crossbow that he had shoved in Dipper’s face the first time they met.

Despite the command to stay put, Dipper found he couldn’t just…sit there. Forcing himself to get up, he followed Ford, who looked down at him with a frown but just held out a hand.

“Stay behind me.”

Then he put his hand on the doorknob and turned it.

--------------------

Stan couldn’t believe Mabel’s luck. When she had made the offer that if Gopher Road was before the town, then he would take her to Ford’s place, he thought she was just having fun or…something. Especially because as he didn’t really want her to meet Ford when he was sure something wasn’t right. But of course not checking the map – or really, not remembering the exact details – would come back to bite him. Because there was the road sign, barely visible in the howling snow. And the town was nowhere to be seen.

Glancing over at the kid, Stan saw a relieved smile on her face. Okay, so maybe she hadn’t known, or been 100% sure. Either way, he couldn’t help but wish he hadn’t agreed to the bet.

Just leave her in the car, let Ford know the situation, then get her to her family. That’s all he had to do. Well, that, and make sure he didn’t agree to any other bargains or bets she tried to make. Though, as the thought crossed his mind, he couldn’t help but wonder if she didn’t really want to visit this great uncle… She had seemed so insistent and yet, now she seemed to want to stay with him as long as possible. Oh gosh, what if something had happened and she had decided he was better than her family? Geeze…that would not be good. No, he would just…take her to her family and also make sure that they were okay people. Yeah, that was a plan.

“There!”

Mabel’s voice shook Stan out of his desperate attempt to rationalize everything and work out a plan. Narrowing his eyes, he caught sight of a driveway that was…pretty much just snow. There was no address, or if there was, it was covered by the snow, but he thought he could see some sort of building through the trees, so he turned. Though, the “Keep Out” sign wasn’t exactly…encouraging…

Then the full cabin came into view. Man, it wasn’t exactly small. Ford was really living it up here…

And I’ve only had my car this whole time… The thought crossed Stan’s mind as he put the car into park. Shaking his head, he pushed the thought aside. Ford needed help. No matter what had happened before, and the ache that still lingered in his chest, he wasn’t going to leave his brother alone. Even if that’s exactly what Ford had done to him.

Letting out a breath, Stan turned and looked at Mabel.

“You stay here. I’ll see if this is the right place and if Ford has a phone book. Don’t follow me.”

Of course she followed him. He didn’t realize it until he stepped onto the porch though. The wind must have blocked out any sound of her footsteps. Man, it was cold. His jacket didn’t do much to keep the freezing temperatures at bay and Mabel was shivering like crazy, but she wasn’t making any move to head back to the car. Probably because the El Diablo wasn’t exactly warm.

“Are you going to k-knock or sh-should I?” Mabel’s voice was hard to hear over the wind, but as she took a step forward, he held out a hand.

“Stay behind me.” Then, taking a deep breath and trying to still any feelings of fear, resentment, or uncertainty, he knocked.

One. Two. Three. He had to pound pretty hard because he didn’t know if Ford would be right near the door or not. As he did so, he could feel Mabel hugging his leg. Man, why couldn’t anything ever go as planned?

The door swung open and before Stan could register anything, he was staring at a crossbow pointed right at his face. His eyes moved up the shaft until he saw a familiar face at the end – though the eye patch was…different. For a moment, Stan just stared at Ford. His disheveled hair, the fear and exhaustion in his eyes. And the fact that he was pointing a crossbow at him.

“Guess I can-“

“M-Mabel?”

Stan’s question was cut off by a voice he didn’t recognize. And then he saw that a kid was looking out from behind Ford. His eyes were fixed on Mabel, who was starting right back.

Then, before Stan could react at all. Mabel jumped out from behind his leg and rushed forward, flinging her arms around him as he shoved past Ford to meet her.

“Dipper!” Mabel’s hug must have been pretty strong because they both collapsed on the porch.

Stan stared in shock. How in the world had her brother ended up here of all places? Miles away from where he had met her, and with…He glanced up at Ford for a second, who was looking at the two kids, emotions flickering over his face a mile a minute.

“I’m so sorry! I was so stupid! I was so scared, I thought…I missed you so much!” Mabel’s voice drew Stan back to the kids, who he thought might both have some tears in their eyes.

“No, I’m sorry! I- I missed you too.” Dipper’s voice was hard to hear, but just the small exchange between them both warmed Stan’s heart and weighed on his chest.

For a split second, Stan was a kid again, hugging Ford after he had been gone for a weekend at some nerd camp. Then the wind sent a shiver down his spine and he was back in the present. In the cold of Oregon, with two strange kids and a brother who hadn’t cared about him in years…

“…can’t be a coincidence…” Stan barely heard Ford’s mumble, and he glanced at him. Ford looked at him for a second, but not long enough for Stan to get a read on what was going on and why he had sent the postcard.

“Alright, everyone inside.” Ford’s voice sounded hoarse, but it carried through the wind and stopped the ramblings of Mabel and Dipper that Stan realized he hadn’t been paying attention to. “I have some questions for you two.”

Open Starter

Burns, Ziv noticed not for the first time,  were a normal injury for people working on spacestations. And it was also normal, Ziv continued to notice as she smeared another layer of cooling Herboinment on the blistered arm of the Technico kneeling beside her so he was low enough for her to comfortably work,  that those wounds turned into a really big problem as those wounds were often ignored and with that eventually would become dirty.  The Problem was not   that the Technico had been careless in his work. The Problem was not the pain from the burn.  The Problem was,that such wounds during the work of a mechanic would get all to easily  infected. Therefor,after she had carefully smeared the cooling oinment on the burned skin during which she had noticed how the Technico had slowly relaxed from the soothing coolness and even managed to smile a little, she took a small jar of Resin and a pack of Voss-Bark and put them beside her on the spacestations rusty ground. The spacestations hangar was old and at this time of the morning most people had not yet continued their travel or had gone to work so the Hangar was as busy as a beehive with people talking, laughing and yelling. Along one of the Hangars walls between a view chests of merchandises Ziv had put up a makeshift stall build from a few boxes to sit on and her open canister for her to rummage though for her materials. While around them the hangar was full of people who floaded on their way to work past them like waves, the small crowd  of patients gathered around her were only quietly talking.   With nimble fingers the Tynnan wrapped the long scraps of Bark around the Humanoids arm and glued the ends of the bark to his skin with drops of Rasin to fixate them tentativly. The bark grew on slender, pale trees in the Steppes of Voss, where they were also called Skeleton-Trees for their pale, thin from that made them look like fingerbones stretching out from the earth. The tree produced antifungal,antibacterial and antinsectual  triterpene like Betulin too keep fungi, bacteria and bugs away from living on the trees bark and wood which made it perfect to use as bandages as the bark could be ripped off in long straps that felt almost like Linen.  “I will give you a jar with the oinment. Its cooling and helps the flesh healing.  You will have to apply a new layer of oinment on the blisters every four hours from tomorrow and in-”, she tilted her head to the side,the Tynnans ears moved up and down asn if she was a thoughtful animal before she added: “-three days it will be just a little reddened skin for a week. After that the skin will be a little irritable, but there will also be no scar and you will be able to move the arm as freely as usually. Just fixate the bark with tape, after you apply the oinment.”

“Mhmmm, Thank you.” the Technico waited until Ziv let go of his wrist and then carefully bend the elbow to check if the bandage was hindering his movements. The bark rustled dryly like Flimsiplast, but neither did the bark ripped nor did the mans face disorted in pain from his burns. Instead he only nodded relieved, almost laughing as if he had heard a joke only he could understand. The young woman grabbed her jar with the cooling oinment which still sticked to her fingertips and made them feel numb as if she had clenched her hand around ice for hours, and carefully refilled a part of the oinment in another jar for the Technico to use in the next days: “One Trugut, then.” 

The Technico grimaced as if he had bitten on a sour fruit and lay a hand on the chestpocket of his parka where Ziv figured he had stored his coins: “...listen, kid...” “Not a kid. Especially not someone that will allow you to call her  kid.”, the Tynnans pale tail flicked from one side to another as if she was a irritated animal. Grimacing the man harrumphed: “Listen, last week it were only 32 Wupiupi. Its really not fair- ” “Thats because you also had not payed me for that treatment from last week. Its time to pay now-”, before Ziv could finish her sentences the Technico interrupted her which was enough to make the woman narrow her eyes to thin slits and bare her sharp teeth. The man lifted his hands before his chest as if he wanted to build up a shield between himself and the young woman:  “I kriffing forgot. Make no big deal out of it.” "-or my krififng unpayed ass now  kriffing forgets my medical secrecy and tells everyone  what I had treated you for last week.” Ziv ended her sentences,without breaking eyecontact with the man for a single second and watched a little gleefully how the Technicos face turned from one second to another as red as a blasterfire. She pointed a claw to the Twi’Lek standing beside the Technico whos blue hand  till now had rested gently on the other mans shoulder, there was a little smile spreading over the Tynnans pale muzzle that looked as friendly and welcoming as a open wound: “Kriffing Everyone, but especially that guy who accompanied you here.” The Twi-Lek blinked confused, his azure Lekkus moved a little hectic and frowning he looked down at his boyfriend while said Technicos face turned from very red to completly white in the matter of seconds. Not wasting another moment he grabbed in his parkers pocket and fished out a Trugut he put so hasty in Zivs open paw as if it was broiling.  “I thought so. Thank you very much. ”, the Tynnans smile maybe turned slightly into a smirk. But only slightly. She grabbed the jar with the herboinment but instead giving it to the Technico, she held it up to the Twi’Lek to take:  “Its not like I do not trust him, but he also kriffing forgot to pay me last week, so you may remember for him to apply another layer of salve every four hours.” The sentences was enough to let the small crowd gathered around Zivs makeshift stall burst into quiet chuckles and let the red return to the technicos face so suddenly as if he had pushed his head into a bucket of red colour. Muttering under his breath he got on his feet and took the Twi’Lek by the free hand who only barely managed to take the jar with oinment from Ziv before he was hasty pulled along. Humming just a little gleefully the Tynnan stretched her neck to call after the couple before they were swallowed by the crowd  like by an eager mouth:   “Don´t forget : every four hours!”

With a huff the young woman  turned back to the small crowd still waiting.The little exchange had drawn a few little smiles on the usually serious, stern faces that were forced to seek out someone like Ziv who was a cheaper alternative to the bacta in the Medicenters. “Now, enough with the laughters. Lets be kriffing serious again.”, huffing quietly Ziv ran a small paw over her head to fix her bristled pelt before she looked up again to her next patient,her ears jolted upwards like the ears of  a observant animal:  “How may I help you?”

The 10 must have healthful things for a beautiful you; inside and out.

(2-3minute read) I'll list pertinent *recipes below.

1) Omega 369-If you don't eat fish, you should definitely take this supplement. Your missing out on vital antioxidants and protein building fatty chains of omega goodness. This is a supplement. It can thin your blood so check with your meds and your doctor first. I suggest eat fish at least once a week. It's all the healthy fats, amino acids and proteins that your body needs to support healing as well as maintain healthy muscles, joints, skin and brain. Sea food is brain food. Salmon and sardines have the most benefits. Often very low in calories and high in good fats and proteins. These unsaturated fats have been known to help calm the auto immune response. Did you know the brain is primarily made of fat? About 60%. So ya I'm a fat head, we all are.

2) Olive Oil-Very Vegan friendly. Also contains these healthy fats and acids and is a better alternative for cooking than with Cannola oil, which is made from GMO crops and then heavily processed(look out triggers). Not only can you cook with Olive oil it's also low in saturated fat. It makes an amazing moisturizer, *Hair Mask Treatment and daily supplement. Look into the story of Lorenzos Oil. Great health benefits for those with brain issues and has antibacterial properties.

3) Walnuts-If you don't consume nuts on a regular basis and you don't have allergies, at least have a handful of walnuts a day. It contains vitamin E, high in antioxidants, fiber, protein and it's considered a whole food. You can also use it directly on wood furniture to fill in light surface scratches too.

4) Almonds-Also high in good fats, fiber, antioxidant rich and full of protein. Trail mix is a great healthy on the go snack. Avoid the salted and sweet variety. Nuts are really good for your vascular system. Reduces bloodpressure and aids good cholesterol and overall circulation. Nuts also include vitamins and minerals that helps maintain healthy skin, nails and hair. It helps produce collagen and destroys free radicals. Almond flour is a great alternative for baking opposed to wheat flour(major trigger). Naturally gluten free and never bleached.

5) Lemon juice-You say why? Lots of reasons. It's handy when baking and cooking. *Lemon water is great for flushing out your system. Being high in vitamin C it's a great natural energy booster and helps maintain your immune system. It cleans your liver and kidneys. It's a natural antibacterial(acid). Ideal for washing out your water bottle and cleaning your cutting board-pour lemon juice all over your cutting board and leave for 10-15 minutes then wash. You'll never want to use bleach again. It's a very good household cleaner; especially when combined with baking soda or other natural ingredients. It also makes a wonderful *facial clarifier to lighten brown patches and reduce acne. Use it as a rinse for your hair, it will add shine and strength. I could go on and on. A must have on hand.

6) Coco nut oil- Caution low smoking point, do not use for frying. Oh what a wonderful vegan fat! You can use it as a moisturizer (I use it everyday-absorbs into your skin quickly). Use it in baking instead of butter and in sauces. No saturated fat. Only the good stuff. It's also a natural antibacterial. Cures foot fungus and helps heal skin irritations like razor burn and as an antibacterial for scrapes, cuts and burns. It's loaded with vitamins and minerals. It's even used as a mouth rinse for its antibacterial properties. It's also a natural sun screen. Many good uses! And very tasty in a *Banana smoothie meal replacement.

7) Aloevera-Growing this succulent offers a wide variety of uses. Do not over water. It's like a cactus, usually 3-5 weeks in between watering in a sunny spot. Use topically for cuts and sunburns. Cut pieces as you need them off the end of the leaves. 3 per household is adequate. This plant packs a powerful punch. Use on your hair as a mask, it promotes strength, shine and removes excess oil. In *smoothies it aids digestion and offers some relief for IBS and autoimmune sufferers. It is somewhat pungent, but can be masked easily with other natural ingredients such as *Honey, ginger and lemon for example.

8) Long Oats-Makes a wonderful gluten free flour. It's a whole grain. Delicious in muffins, granola bars and cookies. It also will reduce skin inflammation when used topically and aid digestion when ingested. Great for insect stings, Chicken Pox, Eczema to sunburns and tasty too. High in dietary fiber, we can all use a bit more of that. It's wonderful as a *Body scrub in the tub or shower. My favorite in an Apple Brown Betty.

9) Pineapple-The highest amount of vitamin C per cup, better than oranges but not as high as a Durian and certainly more tasty. Rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. The best bang for your am nutritional needs.

10) Honey is a wonderful cure all for cuts, burns, acne, sore throats and boasts high dietary benefits. I eat a 1TSB -1TBS of unpasteurized honey a day. It's great as a low sugar sweetener, in sauces and baking.

Hair Mask Treatment: Combined 3-4 TBS of Olive oil with 2-4TBS honey. I have really long hair. For short to medium length hair 2TBS of each, mix at room temperature and apply to hair from the ends up. I use a clean flat end 1" paint brush. Pile your hair up on top and wait 15-20 minuts. Yes, it's really sticky. And the Aloevera is gooey. A 4"-6" piece should suffice. What they don't tell you about this treatment online(5 minutes girly crafts) is that you must wash your hair thoroughly after because of the Olive oil. You may want to spritz a detangeler or do a cream rinse. No more split ends and the shine is awesome. Huge b4 and after for me; long coloured treated hair. I thought the results were certainly worth it.

Lemon water- Start your day with 8 ounces of water and 1TBS lemon juice and finish your day with another glass after dinner or before bed for the best bealth benefits.

Facial Clarifier-2-3TBS of lemon juice, 2-3 TSP Aolevera. Leave for 5 to 10 minutes as a mask Or use as daily as a wipe prior to washing and applying make up. Evens skin tones. Prevents acne. Use as a scrub, mix with 1TBS of kosher salt or large granulated sugarcane or maple sugar.

Oats Body Scrub

1 cup of long oats, 2 TBS of honey, 2-3TBS Aloe Vera. It will form into a ball. You can coat your hands in Olive oil and store in some plastic wrap. CAUTION straight Aloe Vera on open cuts will sting. Place scrub in a clean sick or use directly on skin. Maybe shave your legs after.

Banana Smoothie Meal Replacement-Mix 1 TBS of Honey(ti taste) with, 1TSP minced fresh Ginger, 1-2TBS room temperature coconut oil, 1-2TBS of Aloevera(optional), mix into 1 cup of Milk or Rice milk or thin style Yoghurt. Add 1TBS of Oat flour(Pea or Protein powder) and a frozen Banana(a perfect use for that over ripe banana). Peals easily with a knife when frozen. Hold it in at dish cloth. Break up the frozen banana and blend in the blender and enjoy. For added protein punch add your favorite nut butter or protein powder. This is a meal replacement design to aid nausea, promotes intestinal and gut flora health and helps calm the reactive immune response. I love it!

I hope you enjoyed my list of good stuff!

Everything around you is a rush, the events of the full moon and potential new rogue outbreak setting everyone on high alert.

The beeps of the machine beside you would wake you every hour, reminding you that you were indeed in the infirmary due to significant blood loss and deep claw lacerations.

Every time you would inhale a large breath you would cough, the strong scent of antibacterial cleaner invading your senses and burning your nose and throat.

You had been in here for a week, sleeping and waiting for someone to come along and tell you that you could go back into the main house, recover in the comfort of a cosy bed in front of the fire, but no one ever did. 

You would have bandages changed twice a day, an occasional blood transfusion if it was needed, toilet breaks, meal breaks and an evening shower, but it was if the doctors were scared to discharge you too soon as if they were under some type of threat.

You feel Harry before he enters the room, the aura around you shifting slightly. Your body tingles and your cheeks heat as the doors open, the connection between you both stronger than ever.

“Honestly H, I could have died here, your taking your time” You call, turning to look at him. 

His face is set into a stern scowl as he nears, a doughnut bag and coffee sat in his large hands. He hands them to you and your smile. greedily taking them off him.

“Don’t joke about death” He growls, his tone serious.

“Alright, I’m sorry, what's gotten into your panties?” You question, sinking your teeth into the sugary doughnut with a smile. 

“Just the tension, we have a rogue pack moving in from the East, and we’re preparing for the attack with those bloodsuckers anytime now. It doesn’t help that you're in here because I didn’t set up patrol on the South that night”  He roars, his fists clenching as he hunches over in his seat. 

He lets out a large huff and places his face in his hands, inhaling a large amount of air slowly. You look at him, your mouth still wrapped around your doughnut in surprise. You quickly bite a chunk and throw it into the bag, shuffling your body down towards him. 

“Your the reason I’m still in here aren’t you, you threated them” You scream, throwing your legs over the side of the bed. He looks up to you with a confused expression, his hands coming up to hold you in place.

“I may have given them a talking too, I didn’t threaten them” He shrugs, smiling slightly as your cheeks heat. 

He loved the way your body reacted to him. Right now he could tell you were annoyed with him because your nose was twitching slightly, your breath increasing the slightest bit and your hands were clenched tightly over the edge of the bed. When you were angry or annoyed he found you the cutest, not that you weren’t cute to him all the time.

“Harry, I want to get out of here, let me come back to the house, I miss your bed, its better than this one and doesn’t smell of horrible sterile liquid” You pout, begging him with your eyes.

“I’ll have a talk with them, see if they think your ready” He smiles, laughing at the defeated expression shes gives in return.

“No, because you’ll threat over the smallest of things, I want to leave, I feel so sad locked up in here” She points, 

“Fine, I’ll tell them you can come home” He huffs, standing from his chair immediately. You squeal and throw up your arms, throwing them around in the air as he makes his way out of the room,

“Your the worst” He huffs, turning back to you with a smile,

“But I’m the best” You smile back, excited for the freedom.

--

The fire crackles as the record player lightly hums in the background. Everything is peaceful and calm and smells so much better than the hospital. It smells of the forest trees and earth, it smells smoky but sweet, it smells of Harry, of home.

You wrap the blanket around yourself harder, enjoying the cosy feeling of the room around you. Harry had lit candles and was now sneaking down to the kitchen to grab a slice of the fresh chocolate cake that the ladies had made earlier this afternoon.

You both knew you weren't meant to have it, it was restricted for tomorrows afternoon tea in the garden which was for the little ones, which you felt bad about, but chocolate cake seemed so good right now, you and Harry just couldn't resist. 

The door to the bedroom opens and you turn, your heart racing as you see Harry sneaking into the room with the whole cake. You look at him with wide eyes, a squeal leaving your lips as you leap from the chair and rush towards him. 

“you were only meant to take two slices” You goggle, dipping your finger into the chocolate frosting. You shove it into your mouth and lick it off, smiling at the chocolate flavour. 

 “Yeah but I'm a big boy, one slice just wouldn't cut it, and when I saw it I knew we needed the whole thing” He chuckles, placing it onto the small coffee table that sat in front of the fire. 

You follow close behind him, skipping slightly with each step as he passes you a fork. 

 “Also, it's best we eat with forks. Restrictions on the chocolate cake just aren't what we need” He grins, his dimples poking through. 

 “I totally agree” You both smile at each other before racing each other for the first bite.

 You laugh as Harry's cake falls from his fork, his face filled with shock and horror as he stares to the spot the cake landed. You laugh and shove the piece of cake into your mouth, smiling at him as the chocolate melts in your mouth. This was honestly delicious, pure chocolate and heavenly. After just one bite you were thankful Harry grabbed the whole cake, one slice just wouldn't cut the craving. 

“Its good isn't it” He smiles, finally taking a bite for himself. His eyes close right as if he were in pure bliss. 

 “It's incredible, I will have to get that recipe so I can make it for us in the future” you whisper, taking another bite. 

“you think about our future?” Harry questions, his facial expression suddenly curious as you go for another slice of cake. 

“Yes. I mean, since you said we were mates I thought it was ok too” you answer nervously, your checks heating as you try to hide your face from him. 

“Its more than ok” He answers, reaching to take your hand and give it a squeeze. 

 You look up at him and smile, your body still hot from embarrassment. You probably looked like a red apple, most likely brighter. 

“I think about it too, all of the time” He admits, placing his folk down onto the wooden table. 

The fire crackles and spits which causes you to turn and watch the flames dance, the colours swirling together, connecting as one. 

You begin to wonder if Harry ever thought of you joining, connecting on another level. You had had many dreams of this, you would often wake up in a hot sweat and need to cool down with a cold shower. It was embarrassing, but you never wanted the dreams to end, they felt so real, as if you were actually with him on another dimension. 

When you woke you would smell him on you, feel where he had kissed and touched. It was as if it was true, that you were both acting out, connecting without realising it. 

Of course, that wasn’t true, but the dreams, they were too good to let disappear, to suddenly no longer exist. You would most likely lock the dreams away in your brain, revisit them over and over again until you were sick of them, which would likely be never.

“Do you like that I am your mate?” You ask suddenly, turning to him curiously. 

“In honestly yes, at first I was unsure if you could handle all of this, but you have shown how strong you are, so I am honoured if not lucky to have you as a mate” He answers, showing his teeth as he smiles,

“And does it not bother you that I’m human?” You ask, 

“Well, no. There are ways around that, however, if you should ever not want to be a human anymore” He smiles,

“What?”

You are taken by surprise as you stare at him, your eye bulging as he chuckles. You watch him place another mouthful of cake into his mouth, his eyes practically glistening from the intense chocolate flavour.

“Well you aren’t fully human, you have wolf blood running through you, I could always turn you, it's easy enough” He shrugs, watching your face for a reaction.

You blink rapidly at him, your mouth opening and closing like a goldfish. He had just told you that you could become a wolf if you wanted too. To you that was massive, it meant you could run like him, be as strong and tactical as he could, it meant you’d be able to live with him, for longer than your human years could ever allow you too. 

“And we could just do that, whenever?” You ask, 

“Well, we would have to be mated and marked first, but after that, I can turn you, if its what you wish,” He asks back, his eyebrow raised.

“Are you kidding me, I would love too” You squeal, jumping onto him. 

You wrap your legs around his waist and bury your head into his chest, inhaling his scent as his body heats yours. You can feel his body vibrating with laughter as he spins you, lying you down on the floor with his body over yours.

You smile at him, your eye twinkling as he slowly leans down and kisses you. You close your eyes and melt, your lips moving with his as his one hand caressing your waist, and the other holds your cheek. 

You move in sync, your hands wrapping themselves around his waist as you both get lost in the kiss. Everything around you ceases to exist, your breathing halting completely as you whimper into his mouth.

He pulls away, his chest heaving slightly as he rests his forehead on yours.

“We don’t have to do this now we”

“Shut up and take me to bed” You whisper, pulling his lips back to yours. 

You feel him smiling as he gently lifts your body from the ground, moving you and placing you on the soft mattress. He crawls on top of you, his hands trailing slowly up your body as his eyes admire your flesh.

You were in a pair of baby pink silk shorts and a cami, the last pretty set you had. From the intensity of his gaze, your nipples harden, your toes clenching into the sheets as he looks at you for permission.

“Don’t ask Harry, I want this too” You whisper, smiling shyly as he flicks the sensitive nub of your nipple beneath the silk fabric. You squirm slightly, looking to see his eyes darkening. 

“I’ve never done this before” You whisper, 

“I will take my time for you, I promise” he whispers, pressing kisses to your collar bones. You sigh from the sensation, feeling his fingers dance beneath the straps of your cami. They slowly come down, along with the rest of the silk fabric. It lands in a heap on the floor, forgotten for the night.

He lets his eyes roam, his tongue coming out to swipe at his lips as the bulge beneath his joggers grows, You stare down and quickly look away, your cheeks heating as he pulls you back to look at him.

“Never look away, this is for you, over you” He whispers, bringing his lips down to suck at your breast. You arch back at the sudden sensation, your hands coming up to fist at his hair. 

You can feel his tongue twirling around, adding pressure to the arrear that was now so sensitive. You whimper and moan as he bites at the flesh just above, leaving red marks across your chest to the next breast. 

You watch him as he flicks his tongue out across the next nipple, electric sensations rippling up your spine as he sucks once more at the sensitive nub. His fingers come up and roll the first nipple between his fingers, playing and caressing the flesh beneath his palm. 

“You are beautiful” He whispers against your flesh, pulling away to look into your eyes. You can see now that his eyes are pure black, the fire causing them to glisten as he leans down to kiss your lips.

You trail your hands to his stomach and sneak them beneath the cotton fabric, jumping slightly from the heat radiating from his skin. You could feel the muscles contracting as you skimmed up his stomach, your fingers running over his harden nipples until you reached his shoulders. The fabric starts to come off, leaving him to throw it onto the floor as your eyes roam his body.

Of course, you had seen it before, but now, seeing it up close, it was glorious. His skin was tan and smooth, the smallest amount of hair scattered his chest and a small trail escaped down his tummy beneath his joggers, which oddly you found hot as hell.

He leans down and presses his chest directly on yours, his skin warming yours in an instant. He was a lot bigger than you, but it was nice, you felt protected as he pushed himself up slightly on his forearms, his fingers coming up to push back your hair,

“My very own Goddess” He whispers, 

You blush, gripping onto his waist a little harder as he begins to kiss at your neck, his teeth grazing the skin. It sent chills through your body, your heart rate quickening with each touch of his lips.

You feel his fingers play with the drawstring on your shorts, his fingertips catching the skin of your stomach occasionally. You flutter your eyes at the small prickle sensation, ragging your nails down the front of his body to his joggers. He grips your wrist suddenly, his lips pressing delicate kisses up your arm.

“You first, I need to prepare you” He whispers against your skin, his eyes sparkling as he places your hand into his hair. 

“Just relax, my love”

You feel him slowly pull the silk shorts down your legs, discarding them into the room along with the cami you wore just moments ago. You were now completely bare to him, every inch of your skin exposed to Harry's hungry eyes. 

You try to cross your legs realising that you hadn’t shaved in a while, but in return he holds your thighs, spreading them apart. You can feel his eyes as he stares at you, his tongue wetting his lips as he soaks every inch of you in.

He would never forget this view, you looked like a goddess. The fire made your skin glow, accentuating your skin tone perfectly. You had stretch marks and scars and hair, everything that he loved because it meant you were completely natural, beautiful.

“I could look at you for infinity and never get bored” He whispers, his fingers dancing up your legs. You feel him squeeze the fat of your inner thigh and giggle, your hands coming to slap at him.

“You are beautiful, god you are more than beautiful, you are lovely, delightful, captivating, god it's like you stepped out of a god damn painting” He growls, leaning down to feather kisses along your stomach, 

“You are better than a work of art, of course, a painting could never capture your beauty, it would never capture the beautiful soul within you”

You feel his finger trace up your centre, collecting your wetness on his fingertips. You shudder beneath him, your thighs wanting to press together as he runs his finger over your most sensitive area. You watch him bring his fingertips up to his mouth, sucking at the juices that he had collected. 

“So sweet” He presses his lips to your inner thigh, biting and sucking at the area until his breath fans over your centre, his breath hot. He blows at the area, his fingers once again skimming over you, collecting your juice. 

You watch him as he lowers his head, kissing the area you wanted him, needed him. You involuntarily buck your hips, whimpering as he presses your hips down firmly into the mattress.

He looks up at you and smiles, opening your centre with his fingers and running his tongue up between your folds. You watch as he closes his eyes, moaning against you as he puckers his lips around your clit and begins to suck. 

“Har” You moan as he slips a long finger into you, his pace slow as he allows you to completely adjust to the sensation. It stung at first, but as he moves, the sting subsides, and leaves you with an electric sensation, growing with each pump of his finger. 

Harry would occasionally look up at her, watch her grip the sheets and wriggle beneath his touch. God she tasted good, it was sweet, like his favourite candy, but it was so much better, so good he never wanted to stop. He could stay like this, between her legs forever and he thinks he’d be ok. 

A soft moan escapes her and he growls, the sound alone enough to get him off.

“I feel it, Harry stop I need to pee, please I”

“Let it go, baby, just let it go”

She screams, her body withering as the sensation bursts. His name leaves her lips as she clenches her eye shut tightly, the small white blotched turning to stars as her legs shake. The sensation was hot, but amazing, a feeling that had her toes curling to the point of cramps.

As she opens her eyes she smiles, watching Harry come up from her legs. His face is wet from her, his hair messy from where she scratched her nails through the long brown locks. 

“Sensational” He whispers, towering his body over hers to press his lips to hers. 

She can taste herself on his lips, sweet, oddly pleasant. She always thought that it would be gross, considering the area, but god, seeing Harry between her legs set a fire in her stomach, she never wanted it to stop. 

“I’ll take it slow, my love, but if it's too much, don’t be afraid to tell me....I won’t use a condom, male wolves are only fertile when the full moon is strong” He whispers, helping her aid off his joggers.

You can feel him hit your stomach, hot and slightly wet but you don’t look, just from the feel, you can tell his size. You know that if you look now, you will overthink it, and then you probably wouldn’t go through with it. 

“Are you ok?” He asks, his brows furrowed together as his one hand caresses her cheek. You smile up at him, leaning into the caress.

“I’m perfect” You reply, leaning to press a kiss to his inner wrist. He smiles and aligns himself between your folds, collecting your wetness as he holds himself. He looks at you with a smile and begins to sink in, little by little.

You can feel the burn, the stretch of him as he slowly inches himself inside you. You wince and tighten, squeezing his waist as he holds his position. The sensation had tears prickle at the corner of your eyes, the sting slowly subsiding as he continues to hold his position.

“Are you ok?” He questions, his face concerned as he notices the tear that escapes. It runs down your cheek and wets your lips, taking you by surprise as it falls slowly onto your bare chest.

“I’m fine, keep going” You whisper, closing your eyes tightly as he sinks int you fully. You cry out, your nails digging into his skin as the sensation of burning subsides, your body wants to feel him move within you. 

“You can move” She whispers, feeling him presses kisses over her face. She hears his breath as he pulls back, slowly filling her again as he thrusts. The movements are slow, caring, but god the sensation. It turns from burning, to electricity, the pleasure overwhelming her as she opens her eyes.

She looks up at him and sees that he is staring straight back at her, his lips curled up slightly into a smile. She smiles back, reaching up to hold his face as he picks up the pace, his eyes closing every now and again as he thrusts into her once more.

She can feel him stretching her, hitting her walls inside, but it's pleasant, better than pleasant, it was a feeling she never wanted to forget. 

As their body's press together, connecting as one, she cant help but cries out. She brings her hands up to his face and pulls his lips to hers, needing to be closer to him. They were already connected, already so close, but yet she felt like they weren’t close enough, 

The sweat from their bodies makes their skin stick together, the sound of their bodies connecting echoing around the room along with the moans and cries that leave their lips. 

She can feel everything inside her building up, just like before. It was like she needed to pee, it was the only way she could describe it. It was a desperate need of release, pushing against her, threatening to explode with each thrust of his hips.

“I...I”

“I’m with you love, just let it go” He growls, throwing his head back as she clenches around him. His body was on fire, but he had to see her as she released around him. Her eyes were clenched shut, her back arched, pressing her boobs to his chest just that little bit harder. 

Her cheeks flush brighter as her mouth opens, his name leaving her lips in a soft melody only for his ears. She was beautiful, god she was perfect.

“I love you” She whispers, just as he throws his head back.

She can feel his release coating her, hot and sticky. She reaches up to hold his face as his lips part, the look of peace washing over him as his body relaxes. His eyes slowly open, his mouth curling up as he lowers his chest against her once more,

“I love you too, Y/N”

The Ultimate Kit for Arthritis Survival

Behold, the most powerful Ziploc bag you will ever meet. Hello guys! Today, I bestow on you some wisdom. During the first years or months of having a rheumatoid disorder, keeping track of your pills and doing your everyday activities can be a challenge. Especially when you do not have things to help you out in moments of need. So today, I am going to tell you the best and only items you may need to take with you in your already (let's face it)  messy bag to save you in those creaky moments. Without further ado, here we go: Ultimate Kit for Arthritis Survival!

Musts

Your Meds It goes without question: where you go, your meds will follow. You know what you take and what allows you to stay functional during the day, so please take it with you in case of an emergency! Maybe that day your rheumatoid factor spiked up and decided to ruin your day, or maybe you have to go somewhere for longer than needed and you are stuck in the sticky situation of not having your meds available when you have to take them. So please meds in the bag. Even if you think you won't need them! Take all of the ones you take during the day! You have no idea how many times I was saved by my anti-inflammatories when being away from home. To make it easier, use those tiny pill containers to place them inside. Curse pharmacies or something but pills doesn't come in rainbow colors and may get confused if you just shove them in there with no order or nametag. Don't carry the whole jar though, it may explode!

Thermometer Your thermometer is your best friend. You know you have a best friend when both of you have a common enemy: fever. Basically, fever is caused in your body when your hypothalamus is trying to maintain temperature homeostasis- aka regulate your body temperature- at the moment pyrogens attack. Pyrogens are substances that induce fever, and these could be either microorganisms and viruses- aka infections- or pyrogenic cytokines, which are produced by your own body when inflammatory processes - like rheumatic inflammation- are going on. So keeping a thermometer is always key to have your body levels on check. You don't even need to check that often, only when you feel something is not right. Just make sure it is not an original mercury-filled thermometer, as those may break in your bag and poisonify everything you own. Including the bag. And you. Instead, I would recommend an electrical thermometer: they are pretty inexpensive, more accurate, less difficult to see and even beep when they are done so you know you waited enough time. So throw one in there too! What's next?

Panadol Panadol is your other best friend. Love her in all her gentle yet pain slaughtering glory. Scoop some panadol pills and place them into your small pill case, making sure to write her name down so you don't confuse yourself later! Warning: Be careful when consuming panadol often, it does not cause harm but may affect your liver in the long run. Just follow the package instructions and we'll be all good to go.

Med schedule This is actually something many people forget about because it just seems so unnecessary: why keep my schedule in there when I can just memorize it or use an app instead? Well, it makes sense because you are basically placing your plan of attack right inside your bunker. Right in the wall where you can see it, grab your ammo and battle out. Sometimes when I used apps, my phone died or I had it in my pocket and never saw the reminders. It is always better to trust the good old post-it note and smack it right there inside the bag for when you really need it.

Antibacterial gel Bacterias are everywhere. I think my microbiology teacher put it best: they are on you, in you, I shall repeat, inside you and all around you. And the sad thing about rheumatoid conditions is that immunosuppressors- aka medicine that lowers your immune system's ability to defend itself-  are a very common treatment. Which means that you are under constant attack by the outside world, everywhere, all the time, every day. No pressure. Throwing some nice scented antibacterial gel in your bag is just a habit for me (look at the small bottle! It has sparkles in it!) It just takes one thing off of my mind to worry about. Every time I please, I just plop some of that clean goodness in my hands and bam! No germs. Don't abuse this, because they can be harmful to your skin, and sometimes can even contribute to germs getting stuck in your hands if they are not actually "antibacterial". Be careful and pick the sparkliest one.

Moisturizer or pain relief cream Everyone has a moisturizer at their house. Jot it in your bag, or a small amount, just to make sure you have a medium to massage your joints in when they get inflamed. Maybe today you run too fast or went up those stairs too enthusiastically. So in those moments its great to sit down, examine your inflamed joint and rub the pain away. Icy Hot is a great brand for chronic joint problems: it burns terribly at first but then it leaves you icy cold and fresh. Other gym-branded pain relievers will do as well since muscle tearing conditions like lupus also apply to what the packaging indicates. Give yourself a break and soon you can continue with your day as nothing happened :)

Optional These are items that you do not need to have. It would be worth to spend on them eventually, but if you do not have the money or ability to get these, then do not worry. The items above will do just fine for now. (Remember tho: student discount codes exist too!)

Tissues: keep you fresh and ready if you are sick or have a fever. Gloves and mask: just to protect your nose and mouth from the smoke and overcrowding. Pretty inexpensive if you know where to find them. Worth investing the extra money instead of using disposable ones. 

Heart rate monitor (HRM) or sphygmomanometer: definitely more of a luxury item, but are now found relatively easily in phone apps and smartwatches. People use them at the gym, on hikes and, sometimes, just bored on the couch to checked if they are secretly a robot.

Spyro-majigger is basically what the doctor uses to measure blood pressure. Keeping track of your heart action is great to make sure the medicine is not giving you tachycardia and that fever is controlled. It may be useful in your next appointment!

Eyedrops: keeping those eyes clean of any superficial dust during the day.

The actual bag: now, the Ziploc bag is an option, but if it were me, I would recommend investing in an actual cloth makeup bag or school pencil case to carry your medicine. It's discrete, much nicer and less likely to break in your pockets or purses or schoolbags. Just know to wash it regularly and keep what's inside at bay.

And that is all that I have for today, folks! See you around! Love you!                   ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Observen, la bolsa Ziploc más poderosa que ustedes conocerán. 

Hola chicos! Hoy dia les daré un poco de mi sabiduría. Durante los primeros meses de tener una condición reumatoide, fue un desafío planificar mis pastillas y hacer mis actividades diarias. Así que hoy les diré algunas de las cosas que tú necesitarás llevar contigo en tu (seamos honestos) desordenado bolso o mochila para esos momentos de riesgo. Sin más preámbulos, aquí vamos: El Ultimate Kit para sobrevivir a la artritis.

Cosas que debes tener

Tus medicinas

Fuera de bromas: donde tu vayas, tus medicinas te seguirán. Tu sabes lo que consumes y qué te ayuda a mantenerte funcional durante el día, así que por favor agarra lo que necesites en caso de una emergencia!Quizá ese dia tu factor reumatoide decidió subir abruptamente y arruinar tu dia, o quizá debas ir a algún sitio por más tiempo del necesario y estás atorado en una situación pegajosa hasta nuevo aviso, sin tus medicinas para salvarte. Así que: medicinas en la bolsa. Incluso si piensas que no las vas a necesitar! Lleva todas las que tomes durante el dia! No saben cuantas veces fui rescatada por mis anti inflamatorios cuando estaba fuera de casa.Para hacer las cosas más sencillas aún, utiliza esos mini contenedores de pastillas para organizarte. Las malvadas farmacias no hacen pastillas de todos los colores del arcoiris y podríamos confundirlas si solo las tiras en tu cartera sin orden o el nombre escrito encima. Solo no cargues el jarro entero: se rompera!

Termómetro

Tu termómetro es tu mejor amigo. Sabes que tienes un mejor amigo cuando ambos odian a la misma persona: fiebre. Básicamente, la fiebre es causada cuando el hipotálamo trata de mantener tus niveles de temperatura estable. Este balance corporal se llama homeostasis, y puede perder el control cuando los pirógenos atacan. Pirógenos son substancias que inducen a la fiebre. Esta se produce en el cuerpo ante la aparición de microorganismos y viruses o citocinas pirógenas, que se producen por tu propio cuerpo cuando los procesos inflamatorios reumáticos ocurren. Un termómetro siempre es clave para tener un buen registro de tu temperatura. Ni siquiera necesitar chequearte tan a menudo, solo cuando sientas que algo no está en orden. Por favor no utilices uno tradicional lleno de mercurio, pues se puede partir y envenenar todo lo que tu tienes ahí. Incluyendo la bolsa. Y a ti. En vez de eso, opta por un termómetro eléctrico: el precio es más bajo que nunca, son más precisos y menos difíciles de usar, incluso suenan cuando ya puedes ver qué temperatura tienes y te evitas la espera dudosa. Así que agrega un termómetro también ahí! Que sigue?

Panadol

Panadol es tu otro mejor amigo. Ámala en toda su gentil y asesina-de-dolor naturaleza. Toma unas cuantas y agregalas a tu pequeño pastillero, escribe su nombre para que no te confundas!Advertencia: Ten cuidado cuando consumes panadol muy a menudo. No hace mayor daño en exceso pero puede afectar a tu hígado a la larga. Solo sigue las instrucciones del empaque y estaremos listos para salir.

Antibacterial

Las bacterias están en todos lados. Creo que mi profesor de biología lo explica de la major manera: están sobre ti, en ti, repito, dentro de ti y en todo tu alrededor.

Y lo más triste de las condiciones reumáticas es que los inmunosupresores- o medicina que reduce la actividad de tu sistema inmune y este no pueda defenderse- son un tratamiento común de la artritis. Esto significa que tu te encuentras en la línea de fuego cada vez que sales al mundo exterior, todo el tiempo, todo el dia, todos los días. Sin presión.

Tirar una botellita de gel antibacterial con un olor rico en mi mochila se volvió un hábito para mí (Mira la botellita! Tiene escarcha adentro!). Solo el tenerlo quita esa preocupación de mi cabeza. Cada vez que yo plazca, puedo poner un poco de este amiguito en mi mano y bam! Sin gérmenes.

No abuses de esto tampoco, por que algunos pueden ser malos para la piel o incluso contribuyen a que los gérmenes se peguen a tus manos si en serio no son tan "antibacteriales" como dicen. Ten cuidado y agarra el más brillante.

Crema humectante o crema para dolor muscular

Todos tienen al menos una botella de crema humectante en casa. Ponla en tu cartera, o separa un poco en otro envase, para asegurarte de tener algo con qué masajear tus articulaciones si estas fueran a inflamarse.Quizá hoy corriste demasiado rápido o subiste esas escaleras muy vigorosamente. En esos momentos, es bueno sentarse, examinar tu articulación inflamada y sobar hasta que ya no te duela.

Icy Hot es una marca buenísima para problemas crónicos de las articulaciones: te quema increíblemente al principio pero después de dejar frio hielo y fresco. Otras cremas musculares de gimnasio también funcionan, pues cuando los músculos se desgarran después de un buen entrenamiento, producen la misma situación que el lupus en tu cuerpo.

Date un descanso y pronto podrás continuar con tu dia como si nada hubiera ocurrido :)

Opcional

Estos son artículos que no necesitas tener. Valdría la pena invertir en ellos eventualmente, pero sí en serio no puedes costear telos o no tienes la habilidad de conseguirlos, no te preocupes. Los que mencioné antes está bien por ahora (Recuerda que los descuentos de universitarios existen!).

Tissues:para mantenerte fresco y listo si estás enfermo o si tienes fiebre. Guantes y máscara:sólo para proteger tu nariz y boca del humo y de los sitios con mucha gente. Ahora los precios son bastante favorables si sabes donde encontrarlos. Es una buena inversión a diferencia de las máscaras desechables.

Monitor de frecuencia cardiaca (HRM) o esfigmomanómetro:definitivamente algo más costoso, pero ahora los puedes encontrar en tus apps de teléfono y smartwatches. Las personas los usan en el gimnasio, en caminatas o, a veces, aburridos en el sillón chequeando que no son secretamente un robot del gobierno.

Esfigmo-nosequé es básicamente lo que usa el doctor para medir tu presión arterial. Tener un buen record de tu perfil cardiaco es excelente para asegurarte que tu medicina no te de taquicardia y tu fiebre esté regulada. Quizá sea útil en tu próxima consulta médica!

Gotas de ojo:mantiene esos ojitos limpios de cualquier polvo superficial durante el dia.

La bolsa:ahora, bolsa Ziploc es una opción. Si fuera yo, recomendaría invertir en una pequeña bolsa de tela, estuche de maquillaje o cartuchera para cargar tus medicinas. Es discreta, más bonita y menos probable de romperse en tus bolsillos, carteras o mochilas escolares. Solo recuerda limpiarla con frecuencia y revisar qué hay dentro de vez en cuando.

Yyy eso es todo, amigos! Nos vemos pronto! Chau!
