Them | part 4

🖤 WC: + 1785 or whatever 🙄

🖤 So this is one for the anime guys with the dreamiest dead eyes and forever sullen mood. They're not wasting time with bullshit and some people can't handle that, but it's what draws you to him. He's not shy and he can even be so rude, but somehow incredibly gentle with you. If you feen like I do, it's because you know you're getting the best of both worlds…They treat you like a princess but they wanna possess you. The combination of the two?? I think it'll go a lol something like this…

🖤 Levi, Megumi, Toji, Choso, Suguru, Obanai, Giyu, Anzai, Mikey, Baji, Dabi, and whoever else you see fits 😊 all characters implied are consenting adults!!

It was the hottest day of the summer so far and it carried right into the night. You had stopped for ice cream hoping to get some sort of relief from the unbearable heat wave. You stood just off to the side, eyes to the stars in the sky as you wiped the sweat from your brow. You turned to him just in time to see him thank the vendor, handing over cash and wishing him well. He returns to you with the sweet treat in hand and an even sweeter soft smile on his eyes that was reserved for you alone.

He held your hand as you walked the short path to the spot he picked out for you both. Setting the basket down, he grabs a blanket and unfolds it before you and drops to his knees. You slipped your hand into his awaiting one. Your gentle Thanks earning his heart stopping sideways smile. You tucked your short dress between your legs to sit next to him, drawing in a shaky breath as you felt his hand on you. He just barely grazes the exposed skin of your lower back but your body’s reaction is intense. As you opened yourself up to him, his gaze steadied on your lips and the way you smiled at him.

Mmmm, vanilla you whispered under your breath looking at the perfectly spiraled ribbons adorning the sweet treat before darting your eyes at him. You were wondering if he would be as sweet with you when he fucked you, or would he be rough? The dark look about his eye hinted towards the latter, or maybe even somewhere in between. Either way, something seemed to shift in him. After all, you were basically eye fucking him, licking the sweet cream up with your tongue, maybe doing so just a little slower than you needed to. You could see how your teasing was affecting him.

Licking his lips, his hands roughly reaching for you, he pulls you closer. You were absolutely the center of his attention as he was already contemplating the ways he could make you cry out for him. He wanted to know what makes you moan and what makes you weak. What kinds of kisses make you shy away, what touches make you writhe?

Not much for words when it comes to how he feels about you, but his actions always let you know just how much he cares. Even the way he looked at you right now with daring look in his eyes, shining almost too bright for his ebony locks that fell over his brow in that boyish way. The contrast was so mesmerizing that you found yourself wanting to know what lie beyond the little hint of the devil that lingered in them. You decided you were done making him wait, you wanted to open up and give him control. You wanted to be his. Want some? You asked a devious smile upon your lips.

I’d love some. Before you can extend the cone to him, his mouth is on your lips. He moans through parted lips, making you thread your fingers in his hair, his own keeping you tight in his grasp. your tongue laps over his so sweetly that you're moaning already. As you shared the sweet taste with him, you forget all about the creamy treat that was now dripping onto your thighs. He breaks the kiss to your disappointed sigh. Please.. You tremble wiiling him to keep kissing you. He only glares at you, the corner of his mouth turning up, Steady now… I need to get this. Taking the treat from you, he went after the stream of sticky liquid, lapping it up with an inquisitive tongue shocking you with how good he looked watching you twist for him. Please don't stop. He never planned to, not with the way you were coming undone for him.

You slip the straps of your dress off of your shoulders, and he like what he sees. He doesn't care you're out in the open, all he knows is that he has to have you. He holds the cone over your body and the melting drops splatter across your chest. He hovers the it over your nipple and the icy sensation has you moaning his name while you squirm beneath him, your fingers are clenching into tight fists, shivers radiating through you entire body.

He was fixated on you, how you were so easily susceptible to every little touch. His mouth fell upon you, making your body arch, from the way he trailed his tongue all over, sucking the sticky mess from your salty flesh. He wedged himself between your legs, cascading more wet kisses across your collar, your shoulder, and back to your lips where he found himself needing to reciprocate how good you made him feel.

He makes out with you, treating your lips as if they were made of sugar, toying with the fullness with a skillful tongue. He breaks away, caressing your cheek with hot fingertips, Open for me… your lips part, little butterflies dancing in your stomach. Show me your tongue. You stuck it out for him. and it was met with more of the creamy confection dripping onto your palate until it spilled down the sides of your mouth and fell onto your chest. There's a good girl. Again, acutely aware of the surrounding sounds and movements, he knew he had the time and opportunity to indulge in you. You leaned back on your arms, the loose straps falling down shoulders. Please, you begged, inviting him back for another taste.

adoring the mess he made of you, he hooks his arm around you, pulling at the back of your neck to lay you down beneath him. He uses his tongues to clean you up ,sucking and kissing until his mouth sought out the sensitive bead, licking it up and down until he kissed away all of the sticky mess.

He hovers, his hips sinking between your legs but not quite giving you all of his weight. You hated not being able to feel more of him, but he knew what he was doing. He wanted you losing yourself this way. He wanted you ready to forget everything else and you were, sighing to him, legs hooking around his waist, you pleaded …need to feel you.

He takes hold of your hips that you’re ur constantly shoving toward him. Shhhhh greedy girl, he whispers looping his fingers into your panties. You tilt your hips, letting him slide the lacey fabric down your thighs. Grateful for the isolated spot he chose, he forcefully spread your legs open to him. gorgeous, he regards the enticing display, beginning to suck all over your thighs until they are left covered with his marks.

Now, nothing else matters. Especially not the idea of being caught in such a lewd display. If anything it made your over-sensitized core jump at every single swipe of his tongue.

He was enraptured, sucking on your salty slick flesh, his fingers now sliding through your swollen pink lips, your hips fitting perfectly into his grip. Was it possible to detonate upon impact? You had your answer the moment his mouth tested wetness between your legs. He looked on with a satisfied glint in his eye.

He never once lets go, never once does his tongue stop assaulting your clit, never once does he let you flinch away from the way his mouth made love to your pussy. He only pulls you closer, burying his face deeper until he can't breathe. He adores you like this, how you give you’re self over to the pleasures he could make you feel.

He wanted to revel in the exact moment you became his. Exploiting every weakness he knew of you to bring you close to the edge before finally knowing what you felt like.

By the time he's taking your ankle into his grasp, you're the one melting, trying to remind yourself to breathe. To experience each little moment and savor it. He kisses and nips along the inside of your calf. Reflexively, you kicked him on the shoulder, that tickles you half laugh a moan. He smirks, laying on his side behind you, kissing the back of your shoulder as he undoes his pants. You are reduced to a pile of writhing flesh and bone as he prods you with his engorged cock. He guides your leg upward, giving you a perfect view of the blushing tip as he taps it onto your opening. He strokes it along your puffy wet lips, again and again, his words melting in your ear…my pretty girl so ready for me to feel her. The most beautiful thing I’ve ever fucking seen… his teeth are grazing your ear making you mumble his name... Lemmie be inside you... Tap.. let me feel you, he bit down, pumping his hips into you, purposely edging your shivering cunt. Let me hear you say it. Say you want me inside you pretty girl, say it for me. Please please please ___fuck me, you know I want you, his sick throbbing in his hands, he knows he can’t wait anymore. He groans appreciatively in your ear when he finally inches inside you.

Ohh, thank you — you cry, your nails dragging up his arms. The cuts you’re making only making him grip you tighter. Rough little one are you? But look at you taking it though. He laughs resisting the urge to fuck you deeper. slow hands rub along your side as he fills you little by little. Gooooood fuckin girl. His voice rattles along your flesh making it hard to keep your eyes open. When your head falls, he slows his pace, keeping one arm under your leg, the other pulls your body closer so he could see the faces you made as he sank deeper into you. You gotta look at me baby, I wanna see it in your face. I wanna see how you let go pretty one, come here. Only half of it is in, but fuck does it still feel good. he pulses his hips, nudging at that gooey center that makes your entire body vibrate. That heavy feeling building so fast you know you'll break. He’s got you right where he wants you. weak, tears already forming in your eyes so full, baby I’m gunna come.

Yes, you feel so good.. wanna go deeper baby…lemmie fill you. He does exactly that, gripping you tighter by the hips to push in and out, that cock stretching you so good you couldn’t hold back if your tried. All the wetness he churns out of your clenching hole makes such slutty sounds. Mmmm, my god I.. I can’t, you’re crying and lips trembling, but you can baby, your entire body is shaking, his thrusts becoming heavier everytime he rutts back into you. You’re sprawled out against him, letting him batter your sticky cunt that was already soaking his pulsing cock. But still, he’s stroking your sweet spot, whispering to you keeeep coming, I need to fill you all the way baby. Your wide eyes peering at him now, he's finally burying every inch into you, so deep that you squeal his name, his breath catches in his chest when you look at him on the brink of losing it all, mhmm he praises ready to help you over the edge again, there’s a good girl, huhhh, sssss yess. Look how you take this dick. Fuck yes, come with me, pretty girl? he fucks you erratically until his release runs deep in your soggy embrace and you cling to him so tight that he can't pull back. He stays deep, your tremors milking his fat cock for every ounce it is worth. He glances over his shoulder, hearing footsteps approaching from a ways away. He kisses your shoulder again, already fixing your dress let me get this, someone’s coming.

Thanks to my love bugs who low-key encouraged me to just post my shit regardless. I think all that matters is that I get this shit outta my head. It feels good to get lost in imagination from time to time. ☺️ no tags cause this is shit 😩

[honey-minded-hivemind]

hi! I loved the crow anon story thing so much it was so great! I was wondering if it was possible if you could do one with like a Honduran bat hybrid reader (magic choice up to you but I thought potion magic would be cute) who overworks themselves a lot and the platonic yans are like ‘>:0’

Aaaawwwww! Honduran bats are so cute!!! I'll see what we can cook up! And potions, yes! May I call you Bat Anon? Let's do it like this:

• You tended to be a busy bee (well, bat). Always cooking up a new potion, picking out ingredients and charms, writing instructions and symptoms for each one, selling the latest in helpful potions and magical ones, such as ones for mental wellness, emotional-filling, and mini good-lucks and warm-feelings, along with fairy-wings and plant-growing and rain-making and so many, many more... It kept your hands and wings busy all night and all day long, overworking your wings and hands trying to make enough!

• Your newest patrons were animal hybrids. Ones who were always asking which ingredients you used and buying any potions that caught their eye. They always complimented you and your craft, and happily told you where to find the best ingredients and which vendors were nice. They always payed well, leaving tips, too. And with the sudden increase in customers and demand of your wares, you had to work extra hours just to keep up with the demands...

• By the next month, you're exhausted. Only two or three hours a sleep per day/night, drinking enough caffeine-filled beverages to wake up a snoozing dragon, and underweight due to neglecting to eat, all in the name of keeping your business running and ahead of the competition. You've almost fallen asleep on customers a few times, only to chug a potion that happened to be a mix of coffee, adrenaline, and lightning, to keep yourself awake. Your newest friends, those odd patrons of yours, took offense to that.

• The moment you tell then how you've been able to keep your small store stocked and the customers happy and with their potions, you're met with hands dragging you to the back and pushing you onto the nearest sofa or chair or bean bag. Next thing you know, heavily-scented tea is shoved into your hands, and you're ordered to drink every last drop. Any protest is met with a firm no, and you're told theyll handle your store when you need to rest. Starting now.

• The moment the tea hits your tongue, you're relaxing into the plush surface beneath you, sighing contentedly. A warm mix of lavender, honey, and caramel fills your tastebuds, and you quickly down the rest of the cup. Once you finished, a wave of calm, relaxed sleepiness tugs at you, then you're lying down, snuggled under a blanket that had been tucked around you. The background noise of clinking bottles and stirring liquids send you off into a fuzzy slumber, for once your body and mind getting the rest it needs since you opened up shop...

• The platonic yans keep the shop afloat, those who excel at potions mixing up the ones that were written down on a list, while those who are able to refill samples and clean up do so. They care about their little baby bat, and they shouldn't have to run themself into the ground just to please others and to keep themself in business. So they'll help as much as Reader needs, all while making sure they rest and eat and take breaks. If they have to set a day where their shop stays closed, so be it. Their little bat bud needs rest and relaxation, which they'll happily supply them with!

• If any rude customers or bigots try to start something or insist to speak speak Reader or try to break anything, the adults will happily deal with them (setting Wolverine and/or Sabretooth and/or even Erik on them). The teens can keep the shop tidy and make sure Reader gets their scheduled sleep, as well as takes any tea they make them and eats their meals. And if Reader is a little cold, no worries. They can happily volunteer one of themselves to cuddle with them while they rest...

• The platonic yanderes all care about Reader, and while they love their potions, they'll make sure Reader is well-rested and fed and feeling well before they let them go back to making them. And if they maybe start to offer to work with Reader, or join their businesses together (or maybe slip them into their coven by "accident"), well... Whatever helps keep them warm and and feeling well, right?

So I saw this really cute NND fanart by @etincelleart, which inspired me to write this fic where Ruby and Penny go for boba in Vacuo.

honestly it's the closest I've engaged with canon in my writing in a long while and it was really fun

don't ask where the atla joke reference came from bc I'm still not entirely sure how it found its way in

.

Taste Buds

Since her transformation Penny’s life has been full of new experiences. Most of them, good (hugs, the warmth of the sun on her skin, meeting and petting that stray cat, hugs), but she still has just a little bit of apprehension about trying new things. Flipping too quickly through the pages of a book she couldn’t automatically download into her mind (due to her excitement over that being an experience she can have now) leading to her First Ever Paper Cut had taught her that it was perhaps best to take some things slowly.

There’s still no one else quite like her. Ambrosius hadn’t made her a new body. They’d been very careful with their wording there. She just sort of has one now? The person she’d always been manifested as she envisioned herself? Penny is most definitely real, so it checks out. It’s just…the part of her that still finds comfort in hard data and scientific fact struggles with the whole thing, sometimes, when it’s quiet, and she has nothing else really to focus on.

Food has been a particularly exciting (if also a little worrying) topic. Hunger is not something Penny enjoys. Being able to taste definitely is. Even if she hasn’t had the chance to try out too many flavors yet, Penny loves all of them, especially sweets. Though that may be due to it being Ruby (and Ruby’s own giant sweet tooth) that introduced her to many of the foods she’s tried so far, leading to something of a bias in the data sample.

The worrying part about food is the eating. According to the medical doctor she’d gone to with Ruby, Penny is a perfectly healthy, normal girl. The doctor had also reassured Penny her lack of medical records was okay, expected even, it was a common situation amongst a lot of the Atlesian refugees. Informing her that Penny’s organic body was a relatively new development had led to a bit of awkwardness, but they’d moved passed it.

The point being, all the necessary parts for a digestive system (and also every other functionality a person has) are there. How exactly they got there may be a mystery Penny will live with for the rest of her life, but they’re still there, and they all do their jobs properly.

Penny had been nervous at first, to eat. Before, she’d always had to be incredibly careful because a crumb or droplet of liquid in the wrong place could lead to system-wide errors and glitching for days. But, eating was part of her life now. Normal now. Expected even.

And honestly, once she got past that initial, momentary hesitation, the excitement had taken over. It’s a whole new—

“Eep!”

Ruby tugs Penny into a flurry of rose petals. Penny reflexively relaxes into the sensation. They land, breathlessly, on the opposite side of the street from the (cabbage? Penny is fairly sure those are cabbages, but, without instant access to databases, she’s still learning to differentiate vegetables on her own, and all the green ones are particularly difficult) vendor, whose cart Ruby almost knocked over.

The probably-cabbage vendor shakes his fist at them, but doesn’t chase them across the street. He picks up the handles of his cart and, grumbling, goes on his way.

Ruby looks to Penny. Penny looks back. Ruby’s laugh fills her cheeks before bursting out of her. Penny can’t help but join in.

It takes a few minutes for their giggles to subside.

“Okay, okay.” Ruby takes a breath to settle herself. “Come on, we’re almost there.”

They continue weaving their way through the streets of Vacuo, though not going quite as fast as the almost jog Ruby had led Penny on to begin with. Soon they reach the shop with the large sign reading, Bubba Bubba Boba, above it.

The boba shop is slowly becoming something of a favorite of their group. It is, first and foremost, Ruby and Yang’s spot, a cherished reminder of their pre-Beacon life. One they’re slowly sharing with everyone. There’d been talk of visiting as a whole group, but differing assignment schedules made that difficult. So far, to Penny’s knowledge, only Yang has taken Blake there, at the end of their first Official Date As A Couple, where they’d meandered through the shopping district together.

Until, that is, less than an hour ago, when Ruby rushed into Penny and her father’s small quarters and declared Penny absolutely has to go there with her.

Penny isn’t exactly sure of the timeline between Yang surprising Ruby with boba to Yang and Blake’s date ending with them getting boba to now, but she is a little concerned about Weiss’s absence from the series of events. Wouldn’t it have made sense for Team RWBY to go together first?

(Unbeknownst to her, there had been an intermediary moment where Ruby, after hearing about Yang and Blake’s date, got her idea to take Penny for boba, and talked to Weiss about it. Weiss had encouraged (to put it in the most mild terms possible) Ruby to just ask Penny out already, which Ruby had, of course, interpreted as ‘taking my friend Penny, who is my friend and totally not anything else, out for boba’.

(Semi-relatedly, there is an entire chapter of the memoir living rent free in Weiss’s head titled; My Teammates And Their Obliviousness To Their Own Romances: How To Deal With The Unending Frustration.)

Penny and Ruby walk into the boba shop. It’s sparsely decorated, most of what’s there an eclectic assortment of basic furniture easily found. Packing up, leaving in a hurry, and restarting a business in a new kingdom hadn’t been easy for the shop owners, but they seem to be doing their best.

Penny trails after Ruby to the counter. She looks up at the colorful options cheerfully displayed on the menu. There’s a lot of them. Some flavors she recognizes, like strawberry or mango. Others she doesn’t. Staring at the words ‘matcha’ and ‘taro’ doesn’t suddenly reveal anything about what they are to Penny.

“Hey, Penny?” Ruby is looking back at her, mild concern written across her face. “You good?”

“Yes, I…” Penny bites her lower lip. “I don’t know what to choose.” Any of the options could be good. They probably all are. But this will be her first boba. Her first boba with Ruby.

It suddenly feels just a bit daunting.

“Well, let’s see.” Ruby comes to stand beside her. She automatically reaches for Penny’s hand, and Penny doesn’t hesitate in allowing her to take hold of it. With her other, free hand, Ruby taps her finger against her lips. “You’ve had a bunch of types of fruit before, right? Maybe we could go with one of those flavors, since they’re already kind of familiar?”

“I suppose.” Penny glances again at the flavors on the menu she doesn’t know. It would probably be most logical to not travel too far away from the known on her first taste, no matter how much her curiosity is telling her otherwise.

Ruby catches sight of Penny’s expression. She frowns. Then her eyes light up with an idea. “Or, we could get one of each, something you’re familiar with and something you’re not, and share!”

Penny can’t help but grin. “I like that idea much better.”

At the counter, Ruby orders one strawberry and one matcha. Then, with drinks in hand, she leads Penny to one of the shop’s outdoor tables. They sit.

“Here.” Ruby passes the strawberry over to Penny first. Their fingers accidentally brush against each other.

Penny’s heart skips a beat. She tells it, not for the first time, it really must stop doing that when these sorts of minor accidents happen when she’s around Ruby. They’re very comfortable with physical contact with each other. Why should the unintended ones be any different?

“Try it! Try it!” Seemingly unaware of where Penny’s mind is at, Ruby eagerly gestures at the boba cup in front of Penny.

Putting such thoughts aside for later, Penny picks up the strawberry one, and guides the straw to her lips. Then nearly jumps as the first boba makes it to her mouth. She was not expecting that specific texture! Penny rolls the boba around with her tongue, adjusting to how it feels, and tastes.

“Soooo?” Ruby leans forward over the table. “How is it?”

Penny doesn’t have to think about her answer.

“Perfectly sensational!”

“Yay!” Ruby swings back in her chair. Too far. It leans back. Its front two legs leave the ground. The chair tips and unceremoniously drops Ruby. She instinctively calls upon her semblance to catch herself, but flies too far, going into the street.

A second later Ruby finds herself in an amongst the fallen cabbages of the cart she crashed into.

The vendor, the same one from earlier, has his hands on his head.

“MY CABBAGES!”

Over his shoulder, Ruby meets Penny’s gaze. Penny grabs their bobas. They go running.

(Later, they’ll go back and make things right with the cabbage vendor.)

For now, Ruby and Penny hide out in an alley and swap boba flavors.

Nam Binh to Ninh Binh. 13/5/25

Looks like I’m stuck in Vietnam for the next 26 days. I’m frustrated. I was hoping to head west to Laos and Cambodia A.S.A.P. Anyways, I’ll continue zig-zagging my way south and get rabies & serum shots every 6 days from a VNCN. Good thing is they seem to be in every major city. Bad thing is it takes quite some time for the liquids to be administered into my flesh. It took 4 hours today. I hope they put in my file that I can handle the business, no need for 45 minute breaks between the 20ml shots, just all at once thanks. I guess the breaks provided to be slightly fruitful. I got to witness a Vietnamese wedding… the bride and groom wear cherry red suit and dress, and what I presume to be the equivalent of groomsman and bridesmaids wear rose gold tunics which are fly!

I also had some extra time to explore Nam Binh. It was a really cool city and felt super authentic. I was the only westerner in a massive city which felt really cool. The shops and trades provided for the needs of locals, not tourists. No one looked at me more than twice, no one tried to sell me anything, and a vendor even warned me against buying a pate Bahn mi. I regret not taking his advice. It was literally just bread and heaps of boiled goose liver. I only ate the bread.

Whumptober 2022 Day 7: The Way You Shake and Shiver

Shaking Hands || Seizures || Silent Panic Attack

Miklan deals with one of his brother's earliest escapades as a rebel of the Empire, and his nerves get the better of him.

Tag List: @poetic-leigh-me @writerofscribbles @whumptober-archive

Fandom: Dungeons and Dragons (OCs)

One mug turned to two, two mugs turned to three, three turned to four. Miklan was having fun. Sure, sitting at a bar was no Imperial prison raid, but he was enjoying himself. His whole body felt warm and light. Captain Steel Ass’s stories seemed to grow taller with each swig of mead. Miklan’s ears flushed as he laughed with each joke, gasped at each twist, and sat on the very edge of his seat. A few other patrons had gathered around the table at this point to listen to the regales of the Captain.

Then suddenly, the doors to Lilith’s Tavern swung open with a jarring sound. A hush settled over the entire tavern as two Imperial Guards marched in through the doors. Miklan could feel the weight of his armor bearing down on his body. The Imperial Guards seemed more like monsters, suddenly. Subconsciously, he curled his fingers around the mug in his hands as he tried to steady himself. They were just people. He had to remind himself of that.

“Everyone, out of the bar and back to your homes!” One guard shouted in a grizzly voice.

“What…” Miklan slurred but felt a firm hand grasp his arm. He turned to see Laila shushing him quietly. Even in the warm lighting of the tavern, she suddenly looked pale.

Captain Steel Ass stood from his chair, a bit wobbly on his feet. He reached a hand out to Miklan. “Come on, kid. I think it oughta be time we took this back to the ship.”

Miklan nodded. He watched the two guards march up to the counter and knock a glass over the bar. It shattered on the floor, right in front of Lilith. Anger flared red in his vision. His fingers wrapped around the hilt of his long sword. Captain Steel Ass bumped into him roughly breaking through his seething anger.

“Let’s go. Now.” Captain Steel Ass’s voice was a harsh whisper. Miklan’s grip loosened around the blade as he strained to hear the conversation at the front of the bar. But all he could hear was the blood rushing in his ears.

The night air was too cold on his skin. He looked around to see that most of the streets had cleared of people. Vendors were closing up their shops and hurriedly looking around. Miklan had never seen such a swarm of Imperial Guards shutting down the city. He felt his chest grow tight.

“Everyone, return to your homes. There is nothing to be alarmed of. The security breach is being handled.”

Miklan felt his blood run cold.

‘Sylvain...what’s going on? What are you doing?’

“It’s going to be alright, kiddo,” Captain Steel Ass tried to assure him. “We’ll go back to the boat, and have a couple more mugs of mead together. What do you say?”

Miklan nodded his head, but nothing seemed to be processing. All he could think about was his brother’s safety.

Four mugs turned to five. Five turned to six. Six turned to seven. And when seven turned to eight, the mead didn’t taste as good anymore.

Miklan couldn’t tell if it was the alcohol that made him numb or his fear. He stared down at the mug in front of him with vacant, empty eyes. That’s when he noticed the tremor in the liquid. He wasn’t sure when his hands had started to shake . But the more he thought about what could be going on in the Imperial prison, and where his brother might have been, he felt the shakes spread through his entire body.

A large, scaly hand gently rested on his shoulder. He turned to look at Rook with watery eyes.

“Where is he? He should’ve been...back by now…” Miklan trailed off. He could feel the tears threatening to spill, but he didn’t particularly care. All he wanted was his big brother back, safe and sound.

Rook shook his head. “I don’t know. But I’m certain that he’ll be fine. Have faith in him.”

Without another word, Rook headed to the cabin doors of the ship. He turned to Miklan with a final glance before heading below deck. “You should get to bed. Staying up all night worrying will do you no good.”

“I will,” Miklan lied. He stared at the mug again, finishing the last swig up. There was something about the way that it burned his throat as it went down that made him feel sick to his stomach.

Eight hours had turned to nine. Nine had turned to ten. Ten turned to eleven. And the next thing he knew, Miklan awoke to the sun breaking over the horizon. The waves crashed against the side of the boat, drowning out the idle chatter of sailors and the bustle of Imperial Guards at the harbor. He felt the beginnings of a hangover pounding in his head and an ache in his back from sleeping on deck. But his eyes scanned the harbor for any signs of his brother.

He saw a flash of bright orange hair, but felt his heart sink as he watched the ship maiden toss her hair over her shoulder and laugh loudly. A voice called out over the harbor, and Miklan’s head whipped around only to see a guard overseeing an Imperial shipment. Every noise echoed too loud in his head, and every face seemed so unfamiliar. Miklan began to wonder if Sylvain and Lys had made it out alive.

They had to. He couldn’t bear the thought of his brother being tortured to death.

His shaking hands only subsided when he saw Sylvain entering the port. Immediately Miklan shot up on the boat. He wanted to run to his brother, more than anything. But the presence of the Imperial Guards made his blood run cold. He gripped at the fabric of his shirt to keep his hands from trembling again, though it did no good.

As soon as Sylvain stepped onto the boat, Miklan lurched forward. He wrapped his arms around Sylvain as tightly as he could. He ran through the name of every God he knew of and thanked each an every one of them for keeping his brother safe through the whole ordeal.

And finally, Miklan felt his hands stop shaking.

Finance Consulting In Belgium During A Crisis | Kronos Group

With the economic crisis impacting almost every business, monitoring your lenders and ensuring that you have a proper plan in place in case you’re not able to maintain your loan settlements, should be priorities.

Some of the leading firms in finance consulting in Belgium may even suggest managing JV partners since their financial issues could very well impact your business as well. 

Europe has been plagued by crises and disruptions. From dire energy crises to geopolitical humanitarian tragedies, 2022 has been a challenging year.

The cost of essential items has also skyrocketed, with some countries experiencing price hikes that have risen eightfold.

Businesses are also experiencing signs of economic distress as China—a key supplier and customer—is dealing with its own economic woes. 

Experts see this as a defining moment for a generation of executives who will be tested like never before even though they have emerged from global financial crises such as Brexit, the Euro crisis, and the pandemic.

In times of volatility, it becomes critical that you have multiple strategies prepared as part of your contingency plan. You need to have a detailed timeline of how you are going to implement these plans and under what circumstances. A financial consultancy firm can help you execute this if your business does not have the expertise to carry them out.

Businesses need to have the financial discipline to review past economic downturns and objectively consider how they should do business today for sustained economic growth. With survival heavily depending on liquidity management, profit margins, and revenue growth, decisions need to be made by keeping liquidity constraints at the forefront.

Monitor your lenders

Economic shocks predict financial downturns across industries where loan adjustments and forbearing agreements are required to prevent bankruptcy.

During these times, financial institutions adjust their policies to thoroughly analyse existing loans and any new applications for loans. Aside from liquidity, banks are vigilant about cash flow, meaning that the margin for error between budgeted and actual credit metrics is slim. 

Maintaining a positive relationship with your lenders during times of uncertainty is important and a financial consultant can help you arm yourself with realistic financial information about your company.

Opening a dialogue between your company and your lenders is crucial since hiding any financial issues could negatively impact your credibility. The key is to be proactive and speak to your lenders with realistic action plans.

Financial consultants are professionals at handling these sensitive conversations and creating an atmosphere where both parties can compromise and devise mutually beneficial solutions.

Manage your JV partners

Performing a complete financial analysis of your JV partners and going over any agreements can help you plan for any worst-case scenarios.

If your JV partners are experiencing distress, they may be unable to meet their financial commitments or carry out contracted services. This can mean that you have to find a way to handle the financial burden yourself.

Have your legal team go over the documents and agreements and get a better understanding of your legal rights. If your JV partners cannot perform the contracted services or offer to fund projects that they are contractually obligated to, you may have some remedies.

Financial consultants may even advise you to make direct payments to your vendors rather than paying via your JV partner. This is in large part due to the possibility of your funds being trapped in a JV partner’s bankruptcy estate, should it come to that.

Prepare for an economic downturn with finance consulting in Belgium

Predicting the ultimate effect that a potential financial crisis can have is not an easy feat, but you can take deliberate steps to prepare and reduce the impact of these scenarios.

You will also realise that aside from your business, your stakeholders will also go through tough times, and a financial consultant can help you negotiate efficiently with your stakeholders while keeping your best interests in mind.

Oracle FICO

Demystifying Financial Management: Oracle vs. SAP FICO

In business software, two giants stand out for Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems: Oracle and SAP. Both offer robust financial management modules within their respective ERPs. This blog post examines Oracle's Financials module and contrasts it with the well-known SAP FICO solution.

Understanding Oracle Financials

Oracle Financials is a comprehensive suite encompassing various sub-modules that handle critical financial processes. Here's a breakdown of its core functionalities:

General Ledger (GL): The heart of financial accounting, the GL records all financial transactions, providing a centralized view of your company's financial health.

Accounts Receivable (AR): This department manages customer invoices, payments, and credit limits, ensuring efficient collection of receivables.

Accounts Payable (AP): Streamlines managing vendor payments, including invoice processing and approvals.

Cash Management: Provides tools for forecasting cash flow, managing bank accounts, and optimizing liquidity.

Fixed Assets: Tracks and manages the depreciation of long-term assets like property and equipment.

Oracle Financials, available in both on-premise and cloud-based (Oracle Fusion Cloud Financials) deployments, offers a scalable solution for businesses of all sizes.

Where Oracle Shines

Oracle Financials boasts several strengths:

Flexibility: Caters to diverse industry needs with various features and functionalities.

Scalability: Adapts to the growing needs of your business, accommodating increasing transaction volumes.

Integration: Integrates seamlessly with other Oracle ERP modules, fostering a unified data environment.

Reporting & Analytics: Offers robust reporting tools for generating financial statements and gaining business insights.

Oracle vs. SAP FICO: A Brief Comparison

While both Oracle Financials and SAP FICO are robust financial management solutions, some key differences exist:

Structure: SAP FICO combines two modules – Finance (FI) and Controlling (CO) – focusing on financial reporting (FI) and cost management (CO). Oracle Financials offers a more unified structure.

Customization: SAP FICO can be highly customized, but this flexibility comes with increased complexity. Oracle Financials offers a good balance between customization and ease of use.

Ultimately, the choice between Oracle Financials and SAP FICO hinges on your specific needs and preferences. Consider factors like industry fit, budget, and desired level of customization.

Conclusion

Oracle Financials presents a compelling option for businesses seeking a comprehensive and adaptable financial management solution. Its scalability, integration capabilities, and robust reporting features make it a strong contender in the ERP landscape.

Large Corporations: Often utilize the full range of FI and CO modules and potentially more specialized modules like Treasury and Investment Management.

Continuous Development

SAP continues to improve and enhance its finance modules. It’s crucial to stay updated on the latest innovations to maximize the efficiency of your financial processes.

6 Important Financial KPIs Every Startup Should Track 

Establishing a business is thrilling, but it also presents several difficulties, particularly about money management. As a startup, you're attempting to establish yourself in the market while maintaining financial stability while navigating unknown waters. You must keep a close watch on key financial parameters during your journey as they are your compass to success. Let's examine these indicators in more detail and see why they are so important to the expansion and long-term viability of your firm. 

1.Cash Flow Management 

Effective cash flow management is critical to any organization, as it is arguably its lifeblood. The timing of these inflows and outflows is just as important as the amount of money coming in and going out. You can meet your financial responsibilities, take advantage of growth possibilities, and overcome unforeseen problems with effective cash flow management. Startups can prevent cash shortages by anticipating them and taking proactive steps to minimize them, such acquiring a line of credit or negotiating extended payment terms with vendors, by regularly monitoring cash flow. 

2. Profit and Loss Statement (P&L) 

The profit and loss statement (P&L) gives you a quick overview of your business's earnings for a given time frame. By examining this indicator, you can evaluate the profitability of your company and pinpoint areas where expenses can be reduced or sources of income can be increased. You may make well-informed judgments about pricing tactics, resource allocation, and investment objectives by routinely analyzing your P&L statement. 

3. Accounts Receivable Aging 

Keeping an eye on the aging of accounts receivable is crucial for startups that provide products or services on credit. This measure monitors how long it takes for clients to settle their bills. Extended aging of accounts receivable suggests possible bad debts and liquidity problems. Cash inflows and bad debt write-offs can be reduced by implementing effective invoicing and collection procedures, providing incentives for early payments, and setting explicit credit standards. 

4. Accounts Payable Turnover 

Conversely, accounts payable turnover gauges how rapidly a business reimburses its vendors and suppliers. Not only may late payments affect your relationship with creditors, but they can also result in late penalties or harm your credit score. Startups can negotiate advantageous payment terms, expedite procurement procedures, and free up funds for important objectives by maximizing accounts payable turnover. 

5. Cycle of Cash Conversion (CCC) 

The time it takes a business to turn its investments in resources like inventory and other capital into cash flow from sales is measured by the cash conversion cycle. For startups, keeping cash on hand and continuing business requires minimizing the CCC. Startups can reduce their cash cycle duration (CCC) and release cash that has been held in reserve by expediting receivables collection, improving payment terms with suppliers, and automating inventory management. 

6. Gross Profit Margin 

Following the deduction of the cost of goods sold (COGS), the gross margin indicates the profitability of each unit sold. It's a crucial sign of your company's cost-effectiveness, pricing strategy, and competitive standing. Startups can evaluate the profitability of their products, pinpoint cost centers, and modify pricing or sourcing tactics by keeping an eye on their gross margin. Startups can increase profitability and redirect funds toward expansion projects by optimizing their gross margin. 

You must understand the value of sound financial management procedures as you set out on your entrepreneurial path. Keeping an eye on key financial data helps you steer your firm toward sustainable growth, reduce risks, and make well-informed decisions. However handling money may be difficult and time-consuming, particularly for tiny companies with little funding. 

This is where outsourced bookkeeping and accounting may make a significant difference. By collaborating with IBN Technologies, a recognized outsourcing company, you can benefit from the experience of seasoned professionals to optimize your financial operations, acquire useful insights, and free up time to focus on key business activities.

Generator Rental with Expert Installation and Maintenance

Renting a generator with professional installation and maintenance services ensures your backup power system functions smoothly when you need it most. This guide explains the benefits of generator rentals versus purchases, factors to consider when renting, expert installation services, ongoing maintenance needs, and reasons to choose a full-service rental provider like JC Davis Power.

The Advantages of Generator Rentals

Rather than investing in a permanently installed backup generator, many homeowners and businesses opt for generator rentals when emergency power is needed. Rentals offer significant cost savings, convenience, and other advantages compared to owning your generator outright.

Lower Upfront Costs

The most obvious benefit of rentals is avoiding the high upfront capital expense of buying a permanently installed generator. Backup generators range from $3,000 to $15,000 or more for purchase and professional installation. Rentals allow you to pay only for the time period you need emergency power.

Customized Sizing

Since rental units are portable, providers stock various generator sizes to meet unique runtime and electrical load needs. You can upsize or downsize your rental unit based on changing requirements. With a purchased unit, you risk overpaying for more capacity than necessary or undersizing for your actual usage.

Turnkey Operation

Professional full-service rental providers handle all aspects of installing, fueling, starting up, monitoring, maintaining, and servicing your generator. Avoid the hassle and risks of owning and operating a complex power system. Leave it to the experts.

Choosing the Right Rental Provider

Not all rental companies are created equal. To ensure your temporary power needs are met, choose a provider with these key capabilities:

Extensive rental inventory - Look for a large, modern fleet with units ranging from small portable generators to industrial-scale equipment for handling large electrical loads. Avoid vendors with aging, maintenance-intensive equipment.

Professional installation - Generator setup is complex, involving fuel line connections, load calculations, switches and panels. An experienced in-house service team is key for safe, effective installation.

24/7 monitoring - Around-the-clock remote monitoring ensures rental units never run low on fuel and alerts technicians if issues arise. Monitoring capabilities are essential during extended outages.

Comprehensive maintenance - Regular generator maintenance prevents many larger problems. Seek a provider who performs multi-point inspections and tune-ups with certified, factory-trained technicians.

Quick emergency response - When outages strike, fast technician dispatch and access to rental inventory is critical. Providers should be prepared to immediately deliver units and services when you call.

Expert Generator Installation

Temporary power rentals require proper setup to function safely and deliver reliable electricity when needed most. Professional generator installation expertise involves:

Strategic Placement

Technicians evaluate the site and determine optimal generator location. The unit must be accessible for fuel truck delivery yet away from windows or vents where exhaust can ventilate indoors. Providers use wheel kits and ramps to maneuver large units into position.

Fuel and Electrical Connections

Generators require hard-piped natural gas or liquid propane fuel connections for extended runtimes. Electricians safely route cabling from the unit to facility electrical panels and install switches to isolate normal and backup power. Load banks confirm proper electrical configurations.

Permitting and Inspections

In many regions, generators must pass inspections from local permitting authorities before operation. Reputable providers handle permitting paperwork and coordinate inspections until installations comply with code.

System Testing

Once fully installed, technicians complete end-to-end system testing to confirm generators supply the required power at proper voltage and frequency levels. Testing validates remote monitoring connectivity and automatic transfer switch functionality for seamless transitions to and from generator power.

Why Maintenance Matters

While rental generators are designed for temporary use, they must withstand extreme operating conditions—exposure to weather elements, long runtimes, frequent starting and stopping, and more. Ongoing maintenance is crucial to preventing major repairs down the road.

Multi-Point Inspections

Reputable rental companies perform comprehensive 150+ point inspections covering the entire generator system and components. Fluids, filters, battery, enclosure integrity, fuel lines, exhaust system, electrical wiring and much more are checked, tested and replaced as needed.

Routine Tune-Ups

Periodic tune-ups involve a complete generator exercise cycle and efficiency checks. Technicians inspect fuel injectors, spark plugs, valves, regulators, belts and hoses while units run loaded at operating temperature. Any worn parts get replaced before causing performance issues.

Software Enhancements

Generators rely on complex software controlling voltage regulation, speed governing, metering and more. Updating firmware ensures stable, reliable performance and protects against cyber vulnerabilities.
