The Gardens of Val Royeaux

Alistair x Delia Cousland

Words: 2942

Val Royeaux is a mess and she adores every part of it. The vivid blues and oranges and the gold , the marble lion statues guarding the streets and the smell of different pastries and sweets. It makes her skin tingle with excitement as she and Alistair stride down on one of the busy streets of the Summer Bazaar. She’s wearing a sky blue dress that Alistair bought her a few days ago, the Cousland family sword still dangling at her side. It looks a bit silly, but he said she looks like a queen anyways.

She wonders sometimes about what could’ve happened with them if Alistair would have been made king. Maybe they’d sit on the throne of Ferelden at this very moment, buried deep in politics and court etiquette, but it’d be not so different from this, with the taint still poisoning their blood and with her body unable to produce and heir. It hurts sometimes, the thought of what could’ve been if things go different at the Landsmeet, or even way before. Maybe she’d be in Highever with her family, marrying some idiot son of a powerful Bann, leaving the fighting for the men, like her mother did when it turned out that she’s carrying Fergus in her womb. Family first.

She’s happy that she’s here, though. Not with a Bann’s idiot son, but with her royal bastard, her Alistair, scarred and a bit weaker, but alive, and in a very long time, happy.

She smiles a little at the thought and he looks at her, with an eyebrow raised curiously. “What are you thinking about?”

“You,” she tries to hold back her laughter but it bursts out from her anyways. Alistair looks more confused than before, but a small smile is forming in the corner of his mouth. He scratches the back of his neck awkwardly, waiting for her response what never comes.

They turn into a back alley where the buildings stand close together, casting dark blue shadows over them. They’re the only souls wandering here.

“Is there something on my face?”

“Yes,” she smirks and steps a little closer, her hands reaching for his, and he tangles his fingers between hers.

“Could you take it down?” he lowers his voice as he leans closer, almost whispering in her ear. A shiver runs down her spine from the feeling of his warm breath on her skin.

“Yes.”

She tilts her head up, planting a small peck on the corner of his mouth, and then captures his lips in a proper kiss, caressing his cheek with her other hand. He gasps, surprised, but he’s reaching for her waist to pull her closer already.

Delia steps back a bit, but Alistair is not quite done yet, he slides his hand up to the nape of her neck and kisses her again.

“Just one more,” he whispers onto her lips and she chuckles, a sweet little sound, and he leans forward to taste that beautiful giggle.

Footsteps echo from the entrance of the alley so he pulls away at last, but his hand grabs her own to entwine their fingers again.

It’s strange, wandering around Val Royeaux like lovers, hand in hand, without any heavy armor covering their bodies from head to toe. It’s so easy to get used to the touches—shoulders bumping together and staying close afterwards, arms laced together, a thumb caressing the back of a palm. Alistair, still touch-starved, loves it more and more as they continue their little journey towards the other end of the Orlesian capital.

Soon they leave behind the Summer Bazaar and it’s bridge and descend into the heart of the city.

Val Royeaux is busy, carriages running around, guards patrolling the streets and the songs from the taverns spilling onto the bare cobblestones in front of their doors. The Orlesians speak softly, the words rolling down their tongues smooth like velvet and it’s mesmerizing too, as just like the hundreds of orange and blue houses are. Golden and marble lions guard the squares here too, and she can smell the salty air of the harbor even if they’re in the middle of the city.

The sun is high on the horizon when they finally reach the gardens, the scent of thousands of flowers and the earthy smell of soil and fallen leaves fills her lungs, makes her chest ache. It’s beautiful even from the other side of the stone wall that separates it from the rest of the street. Marble lions sit on the top of each pole and two golden one roars towards the sky at the gate.

Alistair looks at her from behind his shoulder, his eyes glinting with a smile. She raises her eyebrows questioningly but he doesn’t say a word, he just grabs her hand more firmly instead and pushes open the gate, pulling her in.

It’s more beautiful inside. Small paths made from white stone emerge from the vivid green grass between overflowing flower beds and pots. The trees stand proudly next to each other and the wind whispers between their shiny leaves. The whole garden is filled with life, maybe has a life on it’s own. It breathes and her palm itches to step closer, to touch the plants and feel the life beating in them.

Alistair watches her from the corner of his eyes with a soft expression on his face and his lips slightly quirk up.

"Do you like it?"

Delia flicks her gaze to him and he already regrets the question. She's mesmerized and despite the garden's beauties, her expression is the most beautiful thing he has ever seen.

Without a word, she reaches for his shoulders and pulls him into a tight embrace, mumbling her thanks into his neck.

After they part, they roam the small paths, stopping at every new flower bed so she can smell each one of the plants. There are almost no one here except for them so she laughs freely and he chases her when she runs off and no one looks at them questioningly.

They only stop when the late afternoon lights turn the garden into a field of dark shadows and vivid colors. She leads him towards a large tree where they can sit down under it's old branches.

Alistair however stops her before she could sit and reaches under his vest so he can pull out the dagger from it's sheath, the blade he got from a local blacksmith in Redcliffe while they were traveling through, and sunlight gets trapped on the weapon's Silverite surface. Delia inhales sharply and her expression softens, her hands already reaching for the blade. A gift. Another one, precisely.

"Can I touch it?" she whispers, her eyes flicking back to Alistair for a second.

"It's yours," he smiles and hands her the dagger, turning it between them with a swift move so the hilt's facing her.

She pulls it away slowly, rising the blade towards her face to get a closer look. The blade is clean, never used, and sharp as a razor. The hilt is decorated with carved dogs and laurels and her heart swells at the sight.

"It's beautiful."

"Shall we try it out?" Alistair raises an eyebrow while he extends a hand to grasp hers.

He points a finger towards the tree next to them but Delia is still confused so he steps behind her and places a hand above her hips, slowly guiding her closer. Her back's pressed to his chest and she feels his every breath lifting the hairs next to her ear. She relaxes into his embrace and lets him guide her hand, and with it, the dagger, too.

They carve a heart into the tree's bark and she thinks she finally knows where this is going when a slightly angular ' D ' and a '+' follows it. He finishes the carving with an ' A ' and he rests his chin on the crown of her head, probably admiring their work.

"Now we conquered Orlais, too."

"You're so silly," she actually giggles and his heart skips a beat. "We're together since the Blight. We're married , Alistair."

"Are you trying to say that I'm childish and living my wildest teenager dreams right now?" He grins and turns her towards him by her waist, leaning down until their lips almost touch.

"Well, if you put it that way…" she whispers, mouth to mouth, bodies pressed together. She pulls him towards her while she kisses him, and they stumble until her back touches the tree. He buries a hand in her dark locks and presses her more firmly to the tree, licking her lower lip and slipping his tongue into her mouth.

They kiss until he's out of breath and a familiar heat pools in his belly. But she feels that fire too, she grabs his hair and slips her hands under his vest and shirt and groans when his thigh slips between her legs.

She tries to shake off her boots while still kissing him so they end up tumbling and falling to the ground. Alistair’s who lands first, the air running out of his lungs in a low hiss and Delia’s head colliding with his nose.

"Ouch!" His face pulls into a frown and blood already starts flowing from his nose when she reaches for his face.

"Shit, Alistair I'm so sorry!"

"It's alright," he mumbles and pinches his nose. Bloods sweeps into his stubble and she doesn't hesitate to tore a piece of cloth from her underskirt to help him stop the bleeding.

She holds the cloth to his nose until the bleeding stops. His gaze never leaves her, not until she wipes his face clean and presses a careful kiss onto the tip of his nose.

She’s straddling him, her body on top of his is a pleasant weight, long brown curls falling over her shoulders and tickling his jawline. He slides a hand over her stomach and his thumb grazes one of her breasts through the fabric of her dress, slowly, oh so slowly, venturing higher until he can touch her collarbone, drawing an invisible line onto her skin with nothing but the heat of a fingertip. She exhales, a shaky sound, and presses her body even closer, leaning down to capture his lips in a languid kiss.

“Will your nose be alright?”

“I’ve been hit harder before, believe me,” he winks, eyes shining happily. “Besides, taking care of it further will stop me from kissing you.”

“I’ve always loved kissing you when you were covered in blood,” irony sweeps into her tone and she hits his chest playfully, then leans closer, “now kiss me again.”

And he does until they’re both out of breath.

She remembers how they made love when the darkspawn still crept in every corner, when the back of her skull constantly tingled, letting her know when they were lurking around.

It was not so different from this.

They were foggy nights with the rotten forests stretching towards the horizon, the air heavy with the scent of rain and the smell of fire and tainted flesh. It didn’t matter then. They had each other in the not-so-existing privacy of a tent, on a worn bedroll. Her knees were skinned then, too. Grass fell into her hair, she was still sweaty from the day’s journey on foot and she still smelled like darkspawn. Or at least she thought.

But Alistair just didn’t care. He pulled her close to him and kissed her softly, murmuring pleas and the broken syllables of her name onto her lips, as he does now, too.

Her fingers slide under his head, cradling his nape and she smiles, just a twitch of the corner of her mouth, but he notices her every little movement and doesn’t hesitate to act upon her invitation. Because it was an offer, that little smirk, and his belly is already on fire as she kisses him again with more vigor this time, easing open his mouth with the tip of her nose and capturing his already opened, waiting lips with her own.

Delia pulls away for a moment and he gasps for air, a low groan leaving his lungs but when her lips doesn’t return immediately, he opens his eyes, still in a haze, and chokes on another moan, clearing his throat afterwards.

She’s almost fully bare when he looks up, only her smallclothes remain as she tosses her pale blue dress next to a group of blooming embrium.

“D-Delia, what are you doing?”

“What? You don’t like me stark naked atop your body anymore?” she grins, a broader smile this time, showing teeth, and his hand twitches on her thigh and his cock in his trousers, too.

The traitorous bastard.

“Of course I do,” he leans forward until he sits up and wounds his arms around her. Lying is completely useless, she knows him as well as he knows her. “But I want your stark naked body all to myself,” the side of his face presses to her jawline as he whispers into the crook of her neck, “and I’ll not share the view with some Orlesian bastard who's hiding behind the bushes.” His lips taste her skin as the past words leave his mouth, licking the little spot behind her ear.

Delia shudders, but her eyes tell a different story. She’s confident, prideful even.

“No one is here, Alistair,” she presses that wicked smirk of hers to his collarbone and he’s aware that his fingertips are squeezing her thighs too tight but he doesn’t have the strength to pull his hands away. “And besides, if there is someone, let them see.”

Maker .

He knows her well enough to know that she was never feeling awkward when she ended up changing clothes or bathing when the others were nearby. She knows her body, how it looks, where it’s different and where’s similar to others. The scars, the faint stretch marks on her thighs, the freckles and moles peppering her skin, her muscled legs and arms and that thin, soft layer of fat on her belly. It’s all that makes her unique—a body shaped by fire and steel. She knows it's power perfectly well.

She presses open-mouthed kisses to his collarbone and the caramel-colored triangle of skin that his shirt leaves bare.

One nimble finger hooks into the neckline of his leather vest while the other goes for the buttons, popping open them one by one, her lips never leaving his skin. The laces of his shirt are the next in line, but she has something different in mind for those. She pulls them open with her teeth agonizingly slow while she pushes off the vest from his shoulders.

“Why are you doing this to me?” Alistair sighs into her hair, his hands coming up to caress the skin just under her breasts.

“Doing what?”

“Making me fall in love with you over and over.”

“Alistair, we’re married,” she whispers and pulls back a bit so she can look straight into his eyes.

“But it’s true.”

They make love in the soft grass. The small rocks and the bumps of the earth presses into the small of her back and scrapes her knees and green patches of broken grass cover her skin, hiding away the thousands of constellations of her freckles. They’re even more visible in the early afternoon light, bright pink and brown against her porcelain skin.

When all their clothes are shed she has him on the pleasantly cool earth, takes him slowly, savoring every second of their union until it lasts. Alistair is quieter than usual, but his heartbeat is so loud she can hear it clearly. They kiss and they part and then collide again like the northern coasts of Ferelden with the Waking Sea, where the cliffs of the shore are washed away by the wild waves, picked apart rock by rock and you feel like you’ve reached the end of the world.

It’s like being with her, Alistair thinks, like standing on the edge of the world and not afraid to jump and fall.

He’s still dizzy as he holds her flush against his chest, buried deep inside her as thousands of little jolts of pleasure run through his body. Her heavy breathing echoes in his ear and he nuzzles the crook of her neck, licking off the sweat from her skin and kissing her there.

“Do you have a thing for letting other people hear our lovemaking?” he mumbles, the words coming out of his mouth quite weakly, a whisper, nothing more.

“Maybe?” she chuckles.

“Now I understand everything,” he turns onto his side, pulling away a bit but his hand stays on her waist, his thumb stroking a long-healed scar. He’s smiling like an idiot.

They lie in the grass in silence, watching how the wind makes the deep green leaves of the trees dance above their heads and how it carries the sweet scent of the roses. He watches how the shadows play across her hips and shoulders too, and how the sun makes her skin look even brighter. She’s glowing like a princess from a fairy-tale. A warrior-princess, of course.

“Thank you,” she murmurs, her lips tickling his jaw.

“For what?”

“For bringing me here. For marrying me. For surviving the Blight... For being my best friend, for being my new family,” her words are quiet but firm and he raises his hand up to her neck to cradle her nape and kiss her properly.

“You don’t have to thank me anything. I’m here because I could say all of these to you, too… So thank you as well, my love.”

NANAMI'S HOES? CUM 😂😂

///

I was so flabbergasted after being ignored by my man twice when I tried to get him under my pants during the party. Nanami Kento just got home from his two weeks business trip abroad and I made sure to present myself in my most paramount state so I exerted a lot of effort and time to look beautiful in his eyes. I was expecting him to pull me in a corner or a darkened room and start banging me but he made no move instead he just walked passed by me and just nodded his head like what the fxck! I’m his girlfriend! He's supposed to hug me or kiss me!

In my annoyance, I grabbed two bottles of beer from the tray carried by a roving waitress and decided to drown myself tonight with alcohol! While chugging the beer emptied, I keep glancing at Nanami's direction near the pond in their garden and I feel like crying from his glorious and manly beauty that I have been craving for weeks to taste again. Damn. I’m so fxcking horny for my man right now! I want him to rail me hard and milk me dry until I beg him to stop like that way he used to do every time we were alone in his room! Have I done wrong? I don't remember any! So, why is he ignoring me?! I’m so fxcking beautiful and sexy tonight that I came up to a decision of not wearing a bra and the only cover that my two hardened nipplesx have right at this hour are just silicone cover and a skimpy crop top! I’m not even wearing a panty under my denim shorts! And it's all for you, you God’s gift to thirsty women like me!

I lost count of the beer I had taken down and I must say I’m so pretty wasted that I can't stop myself from dancing along with Julia Michaels’ 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒗𝒆𝒏 when it started playing all over the place. I swayed my hips slow and grind down like a harlot on the dance floor where intoxicated souls gathered and it didn't took me that long to enjoy myself when I found myself being dragged by a tall and lean man wearing a plain white shirt and a khaki pants partnered with a very expensive oxford boots for men.

Finally, Nanami! You've noticed me! Due to alcohol influence in my system, my senses and thinking capabilities heightened. I yanked my arm from his grip and smiled seductively as I played with the strands of my hair, “daddy, I like to fxck.” I whispered enough for him to hear.

Nanami’s jaw clenched and I can hear his teeth gritting inside his mouth. I opened my plump lips and lolled out my tongue, “daddy, please, I’m thirsty for your cxck.” And with that, Nanami's patience snapped broken. His strong and muscular arms scooped me up and carried me effortlessly on his shoulders as he made his way through the partying crowds.

I was giggling loud when he kicked his bedroom door and headed towards the open window. Nanami dropped me on my feet and moved swiftly in removing his clothes. He sat on the foamed window seat and spread his thick thighs. His large palms caging his long and fat cxck as he motions me to kneel.

“You slut. Fcxking take responsibility for this.” Nanami struggling to breathe from anticipation would always be the best view for me.

“Want me to suck your cxck, daddyyy?” I asked him in my singing tone while gripping the top of his thighs as I slowly lower my head down to the tip of his penixs.

Nanami sucked in a good amount of air when I put the half of his wholeness in my mouth and lolled around my wet tongue on its’ width, “fxck baby~ lick its' head for daddy~” he said in his hoarse voice and I gladly obeyed. I pumped his cxck with my mouth and I don't mind feeling its' tip against my throat for his satisfaction is my priority at this moment.

“Yeah baby~ you are doing so fxcking good sucking my cxck~ keep going aannhhhgggg~” I lolled out my tongue again and wrapped its' wetness around his length as I moved my head up and down, not leaving Nanami's shaft unattended. My palms trails from his size down to his balls that I squeeze gently and suck gently before moving up to his shallow but sharp vline, up to his toned and hard six packs, ascending even higher to his chest.

Nanami gasped for air harshly when my fingers pinched and tugged his nipples while my mouth and tongue are busy worshipping his pulsating cxck.

“Fxck baby~ you're making me crazy aaahh~” I tugged his nipples even harder and grazed my long nails in circular motion around it as I sucked him fast, not even paying attention to my gagging state.

He's stuffing my mouth pretty good and I'm loving it. I retracted my fingers from his nipples and placed them back around his size, playing with his pinkish balls once again. Nanami moaned again. I feel proud of myself. I’m really doing a good blowjob.

My mouth made a popping sound when I repeatedly suck his tip and flick my tongue against its' tiny hole. “I’m cumming baby~ daddy is cumming~” I know because I can feel him throbbing between my lips. My hands stroked his length tightly while my lips are clenching its' head to help him reach his peak.

“Aaahhh~ fxck yeah baby~ Hnnnggg~ swallow my semen baby~ be a good girl for daddyyy~ fxck you~ fxck you baby~” I giggled again when Nanami spilled his seeds in my mouth and he even shove my face hard down to his wholeness as he release his cum right in my throat making me gag from his overflowing juice in my mouth.

“You good, daddyyy?” I showed him my tongue and let him watched as I licked the juice dripping from his cxck and I even showed him how I clean my lips stained by his semen.

Nanami gripped my long curls and smashed his lips against mine and we kissed each other torridly. Letting our saliva mix together between our tongues rubbing hard against each other. I moaned in his mouth and smiled between our grazing lips because at last! I could kiss him again!

“Fxck me, daddyyy~ rail me hard with your fat cxck please~” I broke away from his lips only to remove my top and snatched off the silicone cover from my nipples. My eyes are filled with lust when I squeezed my breast in front of him.

“Sit on my cxck baby~ daddy will gonna destroy that pusxy~” Nanami stroked his cxck and licked his lips as he bore his eyes on me.

“I like that daddyyy~ wreck my insides~ pump your loads inside my pusxy daddyyy~” I'm swaying my hips again as I slowly remove my shorts, revealing my silky soft hairless womanhood. I fondled my left nipple and slid two fingers between my slit and seductively went closer to Nanami while moaning really loud and dirty. “I missed your cxck inside my pusxy daddyyy~ make me full dadddyyy~ I’m a slut for you~”

Nanami smirked at me before he pulled me down straight to his really hard and fat cxck. He just inserted his penxs inside mine but I'm already squirting my juice by just having him buried to the deepest core of mine.

“Aahh~ squirting already my baby? You miss daddy’s cxck that much?” Nanami sways his hips against my bottom and I know I can no longer stop myself from wanting more of his touch and kisses.

I cupped his face and lift my lower part a little bit in order to put my nipples inside his warm mouth. I moaned, “ooohh~ shxt dadddyyyy~” Nanami sucked in my nipple and flicked his tongue against it making me arch my back and shove his face harder on my breast as I grind my wet puxsy against his cxck.

I caught his large hands and pinned them on the window ledge and hovered myself on top of him as I forced him eat, lick and suck my both breast.

“Gosh~ daddyyy~ lick my nipples again aaahhh~” I pushed myself harder onto him, completely overpowering Nanami Kento under my small frame as I continue grinding and pumping my cunt against his pulsating penxs.

“Fxck babymmmmppppp~” My round and perfectly shaped mounds drowned his moans as I keep restricting him with my tight grip and continuous hard pounding down to his hard shaft.

I don't stop pumping him but I stopped restricting his other hand and put it behind my lower back and commanded, “finger my ass daddyyy~” Nanami grinned when I remove my bouncing breast on his face and he did what I told him. I feel him inserting two fingers in my butthole and the remaining three in my stuffed cunt. My mouth formed an ‘O’ when I realized that I'm pumping his large cxck and long fingers at the same time in my two holes.

“Oooh~ dadddyyyy aaaahhhh~ harder daddyy~” I grabbed his other hand and suck his fingers while I'm pounding him from the top like an expert cowgirl riding an aggressive bull.

“what a cute slut my babyyy~ hmmm~ let's cum together aaahhh~” Nanami inched his face closer on mine and I shut my eyes closed when he licked my face before biting deep on the sensitive spot on my neck.

“Aaahh! Daddyyyy! Oooohhh hhnnngggg~” I lost grasp of the situation from his deep and unannounced attack so I found myself exploding my orgasm while still sucking his fingers.

“Ooohh~ You cum so fast babyy~ Wait for daddyyy~ let me breed your little cunt with my seed hhhngggg~” Nanami moaned in my neck and kissed the spot he bit before catching my attention away from his fingers that I am sucking. His wet fingers grabbed my face and kissed me again in a very dirty but lidido arousing manner.

“Dadddyyy hhhnnngggg~” my moans get contained inside his mouth when the kiss deepened and his fingers and cxck went deeper into my pusxy and pound me so hard that I'm having trouble breathing in his mouth.

I flinched and bit on his lower lip when he spanked my waist while his penxs and fingers are screwing my two holes harder than before.

“Daddy is cumming babyyy~ Aaahhhh~ here comes daddy's seeds babyyy~ tell your cunt to swallow it all aaahhhnnggg~” I hugged him tightly when our body vibrated and his warm seeds exploded inside me making me tremble on top of him as I grind myself against him so my entrance would be able to swallow him dry.

Nanami moves his hands up and down my waist, making sure none of his juice will be gone to waste.

“Daddyyy~ I feel so good hmmm~” I whispered in his ears while I'm still pumping my pusxy on his lap in a very slow and sensual speed.

“Ah, that's good to hear baby~” Nanami whispered, too, in my ears. I cupped his face again, pecked on his lips and tilted his head to lick his jaw and his neck.

“I love you, Nanami Kento.” I said to him then thrust my hips down against his buried cxck inside my cunt.

I laughed at him when I heard him moaned.

Guess, daddy can go for another round.

MAG COMMENT KAYO HEHEHE. DAGDAG MOTIVATION LANG! SALAMAT SA MGA MAGBABASA! I RUB YOU GUYS 😂😂

[alias-b]

Idk if you're done this already but you did it for your other couples, can we get a nsfw alphabet for Billy and Evie? Pretty pretty please💘

Oh my gosh!! You’re right, I haven’t done one for them!! Well let’s fix that right now, shall we?? And I’ll try to make it different from the Billy/Cam one but Billy is still Billy lol Okay! So here goes.

Dirty Alphabet for Billy Hargrove and Evie Fenny! My lovely plus size oc xoxo Thank you so much for asking!! 📌💝🍓💝

A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)

   Evie isn’t used to being touched so abrasively and Billy is the overstimulation king!! She might get a little shy in the lazy post-sex haze as everything sets in, but they’ll sorta of curl into each other and cling bc they’re both super overwhelmed and unable to look at each other sometimes.

   She tries to hold Billy a lot and it takes him some getting used to bc he’s conditioned to sexual and violent touch only. Billy is a Super Tease and will run his fingertips and mouth over her skin bc his girl is Extra Sensitive and he loves the way she whines and shivers and squirms. Chances are he’ll try to initiate another round.😘

   After being together a bit, it’ll be easier to deal with all the emotions and spoon afterward tho! Evie will start to cover his face, neck, and chest in kisses and he’ll mirror it until they’re twisting together and curling up to sleep. Stage five clingers.

B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

   Evie’s been caught staring at Billy’s muscled thighs....a lot. So LOWKEY them. She loooooooves to straddle his big hard thigh and maybe ride it during make outs. He’s all encouragement. Also his hands are to DIE for and his sensitive neck. Prime kissy places for Evie to ravish him and it always catches him off guard.

   Billy actually has trouble choosing as he gets to know her body, he loves to just look at her and run his hands along all her soft curves and make her feel like a goddess bc she deserves it. As much as he loves being flashed, Billy is a hips/ass guy. Loves to grab her and dig his fingers into her skin and position her however he likes. Loves to also rest his cheek on her inner thigh when he’s teasing as they’re lying together. Also likes to spank and pinch her tushy anytime he likes. Esp in public she she gets all squealy and red in the cheeks.

C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)

   Billy is so gross. We’ll start there.

   Boy will cum on her tits and lick it off and massage her flesh and gather it to make her suck it off his fingers too. He’ll eat her out after coming inside her and let her p much spit into his mouth after she blows him.

He does not give a Fuck. Also seeing his cum leak out of her when she’s all fucked out and wet and puffy...that’s hot. He will cum on anything and he wants to blow his load on her tits so bad. He also doesn’t like to wash his hands after fingering her and will spend time after just licking his digits clean. He grOSS.

D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

  Evie thinks about Billy fucking her in public places a lot when they’re out and about and she will NEVER admit to how much she thinks about sex with him even in their early days when they quarreled lol

   Billy doesn’t keep a lot of dirty secrets bc he’s just gonna tell Evie his every depraved thought. But!! He wants to make nasty porn with her so bad. Photos esp so he can keep her in a little box in his dresser maybe with something she wore once that was lacy. He wants pics of her in lingerie. Naked. Spread. Fucked. Every which way. The boy will pay for it.

   ***Also.....he has a couple explicit fantasies he doesn’t share.... One having to do with just gross “i caught you, now I get to fuck you as hard as I want” sex between them. Another and the bigger one...I think he fantasized once about her pegging him.....and being dominating him super hard by Evie. He wants to be bratty af and have her to step on him basically.

E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)

   Billy has Mucho Experience. Almost too much to the point of he has to work harder to figure out what Evie likes and get out of his head lmao Evie has had a few past relationships and she likes sex and is getting more comfortable with it so there isn’t a huge difference!!

F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)

   Billy likes to be on top bc he’s such a show off. He doesn’t know this about Evie yet but....she also wants to be on top bc she’s a control freak. So that’ll be funny when they actually get down to bizness. But, I think Billy later learns quick that watching her ride him is so hot. Gripping her hips and bucking to meet her and sitting up to bit her neck or suck titty. Ooohh, he’ll adore it.

G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)

   They laugh a lot!! In heated moments of emotion, they’ll go quiet and serious, but Billy and Evie both like to have fun during sex. They like to joke and roll around. Billy is a pornstar who NEVER shuts up so he’s spinning dirty lines and she’ll roast him for it.

H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

   Carpet and drapes match! Billy is expertly groomed and trimmed nicely. He looked pretty and golden and immaculate down there. Annoying. Evie actually does some trimming and what not to look cleaner down there, but she’s hairier than him and he doesn’t mind! They’re both all about hygiene and perfumes and lotions and oils so they’re p fresh all the time. Although, I’m p sure Evie will complain when she blows him and tastes his cologne and tells him to ease up on that lmao

I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)

   Billy is superrr into body worship which just gives Evie crazy whiplash. He takes time to marvel at her and appreciate her and she’s NOT used to that and gets super blushy and almost can’t look at him. Being a bigger girl, she’s still on that self comfort journey and he’s happy to assist! He’s super grabby and touchy and they both are all about kissing everywhereee.

   On Evie’s end, she gets so soft with him and he’s overwhelmed a lot by that. Her kissing his wrists and cheeks and holding him. Massaging him and running her fingers down his back. Billy really needs time to get used to it and she’s fine with that.

J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)

   Hell yeah. They actually love to watch each other get off. Phone sex was the tip of the iceberg. Although, Billy does say that if he had it his way, she wouldn’t get herself off and instead she’d come to him and let him make her come when she wants it. Possessive boi.

K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)

   It startles her at first, but Evie looooves when Billy picks her up and drags her all over the bed. She didn’t think he could and he took that as a dare to heart and he lifts more and she feels his muscles BULGE and loves it. Watching him work out super turns her on and they usually end up having gross sex before he can finish if she’s there to watch. Which Billy loves being watched by her xx He’s gonna eat her out on that weight bench too, mark my words.

   He also, as mentioned before, has a Super praise kink. He’s goal is to make Evie louder in bed. He wants her to talk too & maybe order him around a bit. He loves being on his knees, pushing her skirt up, holding her thighs in place before he starts to teasingly eat her while she still as her panties on. Also bonus points if they’re being sexual and teasy in a public or semi public spot.

   Also Billy wants to fuck her tits so bad. I said it sorta before, but I’m saying it againnnn.

L = Location (favorite places to do the do)

   Billy: Anywhere. Literally anywhere. I don’t give a Fuck. 💦

   Evie gets more adventurous with him, but she likes just being in an empty house so they can be loud. Lowkey, I think Billy enjoys the thrill of someone being home bc it’s cute watching Evie try to be quiet while he pleasures her. He might help her out by stuffing his fingers in her mouth *wink wink*

M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)

   Billy is always revved up tbh. Seeing Evie do anything, he can make it sexual. It’s the Brain Sex Rot. Evie starts to feel it in the air if he keeps just looking intently at her. They eye fuck a lot.

N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

   Evie is okay with being held down but no like ropes or anything. Neither will be spanked by belts. Hands only. Billy will never hit her in the face too and she wouldn’t be into that either. Also Evie’s never ever gonna be into food play, it’d make her wildly uncomfortable.

O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)

   Billy already rubbing his hands together planning his tongue’s assault on Evie’s clit. He is shamelessly and proudly into giving oral and will spend all the time he needs down there making her his. Billy’s “get what he wants move” usually starts with kissing up her thigh and then some. 👅 Finally, for him, he wants Evie to sit on his face so bad, it’ll take some time to get there tho

   Evie mentioned this, but she actually really likes to give skilled head. They both are hair pullers so that works too. xx Evie wants to hold his hips and kiss his pretty thighs and let him fuck her mouth against something. Billy’s so sweet to about it, always making sure she’s comfortable, praising her, and kissing her after with tongue.

P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)

  I think this just depends on the mood!! More likely to be fast and rough. When they get slow and sensual, emotions spike and overwhelm and sometimes that’s just too much to handle.

Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)

   Evie isn’t the biggest fan of quickies bc she likes to be able to relax and clean up properly afterward. Billy disagrees bc he’s a dirty little dick pig and he’ll take her to pound town any hour of the day. 💞

R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)

   Oh, they deffo will take risks and experiment!! They’re young and horny and super into each other. Go raw.

S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)

   Billy has some wild stamina that Evie doesn’t always match. With his coaxing and encouragement, she might be able to go a couple rounds. But, I think Evie wants like crazy foreplay and then one amazing sex round and then cuddling. Whereas Billy can have his insatiable nights and try to work a couple climaxes out of her. However he wont push and this works out fine bc they can also wake each other up with sex during the night too!! 😉

T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

   Evie and Heather deffo bought toys together and used them and called each other after like “girl hfjhkejr!!!” lmao. Billy prefers to just be the toy himself bc of his Boy Pride. I think Spencers will be a fav store of my teens when Starcourt opens....... But, Billy would like to use toys on Evie like he’s performing an exorcism and I mentioned this but......someone peg this bratty boy.....

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

   Billy Hargrove is such a shit. He’s constantly trying to tease is pretty plush gf, but I think he underestimates how hard she can match him so they’ll end the night tearing each other up.

V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)

   Evie always tries not to make too much sound, until Billy makes it his mission to stop all of that. He’s pornographically loud and longs for Evie to match that. If he can get her to cry out while she’s holding back...that makes him V Happy.

W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)

   Evie likes lingerie and cute matching undergarments even if no one sees it. She likes feeling the lace under her clothes and that naughty thrill like she has a secret. She’s a big girl and she dresses for HERSELF. Also, I’ve done this before.....leaving lipstick kisses on Billy’s clothing and skin. He does not try to wash it off lmao he adores being marked by his gf. Lastly, Billy is totally a biter and he wants to sink his teeth into her chest and ass so bad.

X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)

   Imma just leave this here bc Billy is mad fat and he knows it and he walks around like he is so everyone else knows it.

   Evie’s so shy at first with him, bc he looks like Apollo and he hasn’t been with a big girl and she has boobs and tummy and thighs and love handles and she gets worried about angles but Billy is so keen to touch her, that a lot of her fears melt away.

Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)

   Big Huge. They’re nasty. Evie is not exempt from this bc she is as bad as him even if she pretends like she isn’t. Girls can be dick pigs too just as much as boys and she is NOT that stereotype fat girls often get being a super shy virgin type.

Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

   Unless they’ve been going a long time, they both actually stay up for a bit after. ((I think they both just have sleep issues anyways.)) Either spooning or talking or getting up to finish the day lol but they really enjoy lying there together and fighting to stay awake so they can chat and enjoy each other’s company before falling asleep all cozy and secure. That’s what they really get out of each other is security. 💘💘💘 

**This was so much fun!!! And I’m always happy to take horny asks or requests for Billy & Evie. You never know what I can put into the fic or what I can make a smutty one shot out of. Thank you!!!

[katierosefun]

Ooohh 1, 4, 7 & 20 for the ask? 🥰

thank you for the ask, ann!!

1: Tell us about your current project(s) – what’s it about, how’s progress, what do you love most about it?

aaah, oh boy—well, given i literally have,,,ten+ wips right now, i guess i’ll just answer about my main two ongoing wips—

so time, wondrous time (continuation of ttm) as been going fairly well. i had to play around with my outline a lot (like,,,i originally had a chapter dedicated to obi-wan first, but then i was like ‘hm...i wanna wait a little before we explore that), and i still kinda shift around the pieces, but i think i’ve finally hit a pattern that i feel comfortable telling the story in! in terms of what i love most about it, i think it has to be that these are really just...little stories of tcw fam being domestic and happy? (just. i’m gonna make everyone so s o f t.)

and uh, i just released most ardently (pride & prejudice obitine au) yesterday, and so far, progress has been good! i’m already halfway finished writing the next chapter, so that’s exciting. i think what i love about this fic the most is just that,,,i mean. first of all. there are some scenes that i’m just d y i n g to get to, but i think that, looking at my outline, i’m excited to explore parts of the story that isn’t romance-centric. like, no one’s denying that pride & prejudice has a killer love story, but there’s also themes about family and class that i think is going to be interesting to re-translate into this fic. (idk i think there’s something to be said about how i’m incorporating certain villains in this story so...)

4: Share a sentence or paragraph from your writing that you’re really proud of (explain why, if you like)

i think i rather like this last paragraph from northern light: 

And even though Ahsoka couldn’t see Anakin and Obi-Wan completely, she knew they were looking out the viewport. Looking at those blue and green lights tangled together in an endless stream.

They were quiet.

And as the ship finally pulled away from the planet, they all let out a sigh: three quiet breaths, mingling with a strange mix of satisfaction and disappointment.

They were quiet.

Eventually, Rex returned with the medics, and Ahsoka was allowed to close her eyes.

But even in her dreams, she saw those blue and green lights dancing around her.

Tangled together in an endless stream…

Ahsoka rather liked that.

it’s about the *hand gesture* s y m b o l i s m. 

7: What do you think are the characteristics of your personal writing style? Would others agree?

hm...i think my writing style tends to lean towards more dialogue, somewhat abrupt endings. very short sentences towards the end? i think? i’m not sure if people agree with that lol, and perhaps my style will change in another few weeks, but let’s see! 

20: Tell us the meta about your writing that you really want to ramble to people about (symbolism you’ve included, character or relationship development that you love, hidden references, callbacks or clues for future scenes?)

u h h h h, i think this is gonna be super niche and i am fully prepared to c r i n g e at this later, but! in terms of eiko from time, wondrous time. i mentioned a bit about how i kinda get super nervous about the idea of introducing an original character, especially,,,a padawan character? (come on caroline, who do you think you are? >:() 

so a long, long time ago, i had a different original character by a different name, and i treated her terribly (killed her because i was like ‘lol don’t know what to do with her’. you can tell i was influenced by george lucas because ‘lol female character dies because there’s no way she could have a fulfilling purpose now’.i was like 13 pls cut me some slack asdfsdfds i still cringe at everything i wrote from when i was like,,,13-15. i mean, proud of myself for getting super into writing, but. a c k. a c k. some stuff i am hella not proud of. like,,,again. 13 and full of raging hormones and existential angst, but...caroline what. that is all i’ll say). but anyways, i introduced eiko by mentioning she had a dark ponytail--and that was a trait that i had used with this other original character that i made as a 13 year old. then again, 13 year old me was also hecka sad (who wasn’t??), and i think that kinda translated into that character. 

so...idk. perhaps eiko is a quiet reminder to even myself that maybe,,,growth is a thing? and that maybe,,,we all deserve better in the end?? i’m walking a very thin line here, because i know how difficult it is for people to get invested in original characters, and twt is definitely going to focus on the actual tcw fam and their dynamics with each other, but! lol yeah, some parts of eiko are a callback to what my 2013 writing used to be asdfsdfsd okee that’s allll
