Notes: Part four is already in the works!! Been extremely busy the past week but I’m free now! Sorry!

Acknowledging your want to avoid interactions with Simon or Johnny, your captain chose to engage in a sparring session with you. Rather than responding to your form with frustration or criticism, he adopted a gentle and supportive approach. Using his hands, he skillfully adjusted the positioning of your arms, accompanied by encouraging words like, "There, Sergeant. It's easier when you move it this way."

Yet, your focus on Price's teachings was short-lived, disrupted by the growls emanating from Simon as he engaged in a sparring match across from both of you. The sounds of his physical exertion filled the air, creating a contrasting backdrop to the magnetic tension with him. Despite the distracting noise, the intertwined dynamics of the sparring session and the compelling gaze heightened the sensory experience, making the moment charged with both anticipation and the raw energy of the ongoing duel.

A palpable intensity hung in the air as Simon's burning gaze fixated on you. It felt like an unspoken invitation, a magnetic force compelling you to meet his eyes. The unrelenting pull was palpable, beckoning you to turn and lock gazes with him. In that charged moment, the dialogue between your eyes and Simon's created a captivating dance of emotion, the unspoken language of feeling weaving its intricate threads in the shared space between you.

"eyes off the lass, we've got to focus Lieutenant, otherwise yer gonnae lose!" Soap teased.

Simon vigorously shook the lingering thoughts of you from his mind, a steely resolve taking root in his eyes. Emitting a determined grunt, he plunged into the sparring session with Johnny, channeling a heightened determination. Every motion unfolded with exacting precision, as though his dedication had materialized into a palpable force pushing him onward. The resonance of their sparring mirrored the fervor of Simon's commitment, underscoring the undeniable intensity and unwavering determination propelling him through each exchange.

In the heat of their sparring session, Simon and Johnny intensified their exchange, throwing fists back and forth with a rhythmic precision. The air crackled with noise as each punch found its mark, and retaliatory strikes followed in quick succession. The tempo shifted abruptly as they transitioned into a sequence of grappling, both of them attempting judo takedowns with calculated determination. Bodies twisted and turned, each striving for the upper hand in a contest of strength and technique. The training room echoed with the sounds of their efforts, the clashing of limbs and the determined grunts blending into a symphony of martial prowess. The takedown attempts added a strategic layer to their dynamic exchange, showcasing not only their striking abilities but also their proficiency in the art of sparring.

“You’ve got to focus too, love.”

Your gaze shifted to your arms, both wrists in your captain’s skilled hands.

The fragments of the dream began to weave themselves into your conscience. It wasn't that you disliked the events within it; rather, an uneasy feeling persisted, making it increasingly challenging to be around him. The dream's influence seemed to seep into reality, leaving you a heated mess. But his hands were around you. His hands were around you.

His tongue roamed your aching clit as his thick, scarred fingers pumped in and out of your sopping wet core.

“You taste… god… I can’t get enough..” He muttered to himself.

You tried to move away, the pleasure becoming all too much. You were shaking, mind turned to mush as you watched your Captain feast on you like a man starved.

“Stay still, I need to taste you.” He demanded. He wasn’t taunting, teasing or anything of the sort. The only thing that seemed to give him pleasure was pleasuring you. You snaked your hands down to push him off, overstimulated from cumming two times already. A quick hand wrapped around your wrist, firmly securing it and pushing it against the mattress.

“Do that again and I’ll have to tie you up, sergeant.” His words held an element of truth.

But you couldn’t help it. His mouth felt like heaven, and the friction his mustache gave off made it feel ten times more euphoric. You could feel the scratching of his mutton chops on the insides of your thighs, squeezing them closed every time he hit that spongy spot inside of you.

Your free hand fisted the sheet, looking for something to being you back down to reality, something to ground you.

“Not Stoppin’ till you cum. One more, darlin’ I need it. Give it to me, please.”

You felt the familiar sensation slowly making its way to you, causing your walls to flutter.

“John!”

“That’s right, ‘is me. I’m doin’ this to ya.”

Legs quivering with an unparalleled intensity, your entire body tensed up, muscles flexing as you inched closer and closer to the edge.

“John! John it’s close! I’m close!”

”Just let go. I want you to cum. Cum again. You can do it.” His hand moved up from your wrist and into yours, fingers intertwined.

Your saccharine voice flooded his bedroom, no longer caring if anyone else had heard you. He stared up at you with his deep blue eyes, taking in every part of your body as he continued his ministrations on your cunt.

“John! Oh- God!!” You cried out as your hand squeezed his.

He rose up from the center of your legs and you swore you’ve never seen a sight more beautiful. His face flushed from lack of air, beard and chin covered with your slick, and a cocky grin plastered across his face.

“Thas’ it. My good fuckin’ girl. So good for your captain, always followin’ his orders.”

“Your good girl, just for you John. All for you.” You babbled, drunk off of the intoxicating orgasms he had gifted you.

“I think it’s time for your reward, dear. What do you think?” He teased.

His hand freed itself and moved to his trousers, his tent evident as he cupped it through his pants.

“Yes! Yes, please!” You begged, hoping that he would finally give you his cock.

“Alright then.”

“sergeant? Sergeant are you alright?” He whispered, his face adorning a worried look.

“Uh- yeah! Of course I am!”

His eyebrow quirked up, almost as if to say ‘You sure about that?’

“Actually… is it alright if I go to the ladies room?”

He leaned in close to you, an action Simon found suspicious. He glanced at your former lover.

“If it’s about him, you’re free to go back to my room, love.”

You thought about it, maybe that was exactly what you needed. Not because of Simon, no, but because of the lustful thoughts that plagued your mind. Christ, you couldn’t even meet your captain’s gaze without becoming a flustered mess.

”I think I’ll do that. Thank you, Price.”

He nodded in response, shifting his attention to Kyle, who had just returned from his exasperating run looking like a sweaty mess. Your figure slowly retreated, and simons eyes trailed you as you walked back to the building. The urge to follow you, to discover the contents of your conversation with Price, gnawed at him intensely. However, he found himself restrained; the watchful gaze of his captain bore into him like a hawk, preventing him from acting on his curiosity.

Simon harbored a desire to figure you out, pledging to find out the truth one way or another. As he watched you disappear, a noxious and festering feeling took root in his chest, intensifying the urgency of the said desire. The need to understand what unfolded between you and Price fueled his resolve, overshadowing the ominous sensation that clung to him. Despite the rotting unease, Simon steeled himself for the impending investigation, ready to confront the secrets that held themselves in the air.

Who were you going back to? Why did price just let you walk off like that? How is that fair to everyone else? Was he seeing you?

The suspicion that Price might have a more intimate connection with you added complexity to Simon's internal turmoil, intensifying his need to uncover the truth.

“I’m gonnae win Lieutenant! Knew I’d be be quicker than yae!”

The challenge from Mactavish was enough to spur him from his thoughts for now, but John was going to be under his scrutiny for a while.

You felt like such a disgusting person, having your hand slowly creep under your pants as you laid there in his bed.

Everything smelled just like him too, turning you on tenfold. The way his abs laid under that thin (yet still existent) layer of fat was delicious. You’d imagined what it would feel like pressed against the back your thighs as he bottomed out inside you. The impact of his heavy balls smacking against your ass as he groaned into the crook of your neck.

You tried to curl your fingers the way John did in your dream, but they were too short and failed to reach the right spot. Your hips rocked desperately at your hand, your fingers trying their best to pleasure you. The pleasure never came.

You started rubbing your clit, hoping for some kind of release, yet got none.

“Fuck!” You cried out in frustration, craving your orgasm now more than ever.

You wished it wasn’t a dream, that he really did fuck you like your life depended on it. Slamming his hips into yours, his pubic hair touching your clit with every thrust. Rutting into your cunt like there truly was no tomorrow.

John price was your craving, akin to an unhealthy obsession, maybe even an addiction. You knew that he he would probably be extremely uncomfortable with the obvious age gap, but what was so wrong with it? It’s not like you were a child (Even though he calls you kid). You were an adult, and should be treated as such. You were young, so what?

Simon was much older than you as well. John was just more… mature. Something about him left your legs shaking and your panties wet whenever he entered the room. He had undeniably aged like fine wine. Having glimpsed old pictures of him and his former teammates on the walls of his office, you acknowledged his attractiveness back then. However, the passage of time had only enhanced his appeal, making him even more alluring now.

A sigh escaped your mouth as you gave up, retracting your hands from your pants, exhausted after working for half an hour at an unachievable goal.

Dressed in comfortable yet suitable attire for John's room, you strolled to the kitchen. Driven by hunger and determination, you explored the fridge for leftovers or ingredients and simultaneously checked the cabinets for spices to enhance the flavor of your culinary creation.

Exploring culinary options, the idea of preparing a Shepherd's Pie caught your attention, enticing your taste buds. Envisioning layers of savory delight, you imagined a foundation of seasoned ground lamb cooked with onions, carrots, and peas, bathed in a rich, flavorful gravy. Crowned with a lavish layer of creamy mashed potatoes, baked to a perfect golden hue, the dish promised a harmonious blend of tender lamb, hearty vegetables, and velvety mashed goodness. Enhanced with aromatic herbs such as rosemary and thyme, the kitchen would be filled with an alluring fragrance as the pie bubbled away in the oven.

The anticipation of savoring each forkful, experiencing a medley of textures and flavors from the silky mashed potatoes to the robust lamb filling, made opting for a Shepherd's Pie an irresistible decision, ensuring a truly delightful and comforting meal for you and John.

You quickly got to work, washing your hands before grabbing the ingredients.

With the vision of a delectable Shepherd's Pie firmly planted in your mind, you eagerly gathered all the essential ingredients. The aroma of fresh rosemary and thyme filled the air as you skillfully seasoned the ground lamb, sautéed onions, carrots, and peas to perfection. The kitchen buzzed with the comforting sounds of preparation as you crafted a rich and flavorful gravy, ensuring every spoonful would be a taste sensation. With precision, you layered the sumptuous lamb mixture into the dish, topping it generously with creamy mashed potatoes.

The symphony of colors and textures hinted at the delightful feast awaiting. As the Shepherd's Pie slowly baked, the kitchen became a haven of anticipation, the air thick with the irresistible scent of a home-cooked masterpiece. Finally, with the golden crust achieved, you triumphantly pulled the Shepherd's Pie from the oven, ready to savor the fruits of your culinary labor.

With the Shepherd's Pie masterpiece now complete, your attention turned to the presentation. Carefully slicing through the golden crust, you revealed the layers of savory goodness within.

Placing generous portions on each plate, you artfully arranged the creamy mashed potatoes and flavorful lamb filling. A sprinkle of fresh herbs on top added a final touch of elegance. The vibrant colors and enticing aromas transformed the plates into a visual and olfactory delight.

Perhaps a side of crisp green salad or a drizzle of gravy adorned the edges, enhancing the aesthetic appeal. Each plate was now a feast for the eyes as well as the stomach.

As you meticulously set the beautifully plated Shepherd's Pie on the table, a fleeting thought crossed your mind about what John might think of the lunch you made.

The table now adorned with a visually appealing and inviting meal, the curiosity about how Price would perceive your effort added an extra layer of anticipation to the dining experience.

You heard the door unlocking, silently shaking out of nervousness and excitement, hoping he would like your meal. Silently, you shook off the nerves, hoping that Price would appreciate the effort you put into preparing the Shepherd's Pie.

The aroma wafting through the air was a prelude to the meal you crafted, and as the door opened, your anticipation and hope for a positive response intensified.

“Love? What-” He took in the scent of the pie, eyes darting to the plates and then to yours.

you wondered what he was thinking.

After Price wrapped up the training session with Gaz, exhausted from sparring with the both of you, he decided to head back to the room for a brief respite.

Even though he was seasoned by years of military service, his plan was simple – a quick snack and a moment to unwind. Yet, there was an underlying hope that you would be awake when he returned to the room, providing an opportunity for a meaningful conversation after the rigorous training session.

Upon opening the door, he was met with the delightful aroma of a dish from his youth. The fragrance alone was captivating, and seeing you standing by it with a smile, eagerly awaiting his reaction, intensified the pounding of his heart in his chest.

he envisioned a life away from all of this, out of the hands of war. He had a family with you, came home to you every night. There was something so domestic about you cooking for him, and it made him an even bigger sucker for you.

“Sorry if you didn’t want the lamb being used, I wanted to surprise you. I’ll pay you back if needed!”

Pay him back? You just made him a delicious lunch and you think he wants you to pay him back?

“No dove, ‘was going to go to waste sooner or later. Really appreciate your Cookin’” He exerted himself while settling into the dining chair.

”Thought you would be hungry after sparring with both of us, you should really take better care of yourself, John.”

“Jus’ like a wife.” Those words ran to his lips before he could stop his tongue.

Your face contorted into an unreadable expression, eyes widening at the sentence that slipped from his mouth. He covered it up with an awkward laugh, hoping to make the situation less uncomfortable.

“I’ll… be right back.”

He was frustrated. Why would he go and say something so stupid? Why did he even think of it? The idea crossed his mind, but you had no interest in being with someone like him.

He watched as you sped down the hall and into his bathroom, unable to read your face. He reluctantly stuck his fork into his slice, taking a small bite and savoring the delicious taste.

Hopefully you’ll think he was joking about what he said. He wasn’t though.

Imagining a life together, he pictured you eagerly embracing him after deployment, showering him with affectionate kisses. You practically dragging him to your living room as you told him all about what happened while he was gone, asking about the others.

He wanted you out of this hellhole. You were far too kind for a life like his.

“So? How do you like it? Does it taste alright?!” You inquired.

Your unexpected entrance disrupted his thoughts, causing him to jerk in his chair before responding.

“You make a hell of a pie darlin’.”

“I tried to make it tasteful, first time I ever made it.”

“That’s an excellent first try, I’ll say.”

Observing him for a moment, you watched as he scooped up more bites with his fork before settling down to savor the meal.

“You weren’t lying, I did cook good.” You laughed.

He raised his head and let out a quick ‘mhm’ before eating again.

“Dear, if you’re going to live here… even if it’s temporary… you’re going to have to pitch in.”

”Oh- oh my god I’m so sorry I would’ve-“

His raised finger brought your sentence to a halt.

“By cooking. Cook for me and you can stay as long as you’d like.” He was joking, but part of him wasn’t.

"Lieutenant, what's yer take? Shall we give a shot at conversin' with the lass? I'm up for havin' a blether with her."

Johnny had harbored feelings for his Lieutenant's lady, hidden until last night. Her warm smile and the small talks she initiated, often mentioning what Simon said about him, stirred something within him.

Every aspect of her aroused him. While he had no desire for a relationship with her, the thought of mind-blowing sex lingered in his mind.

"Wot you gonna say to 'er?"

”Gonnae seduce her with ma irresistible charms.” He joked.

Simon wasn’t laughing. It could work, perhaps you three could work out something. A threesome was definitely enticing.

"Not the worst idea you've 'ad."

Johnny thought about it, your lips wrapped around his hardened cock, moaning around it as Simon relentlessly pounded into your cervix. Your tits jiggling with every thrust of his hips.

“Would be fuckin’ hot, wouldinnit?”

“Not wrong.” He grunted.

They both strolled in sync back to your (now Simon’s) shared room, prepared to release some tension after being thoroughly worked over during sparring.

"For noo, let's focus on jist us, aye Lieutenant?"

Simon grunted in response, turning his key and unlocking the door.

“Where dae yae wannae have me?”

“On yer knees.”

You and John had decided to watch whatever you could on the tele, with DVDs of course since the channels had to use satellites and such.

After a couple of hours indoors, you decided it was time to retrieve your belongings from your (Simon’s) room. John offered to join you for support, but you insisted on handling it alone, feeling guilty for staying with him and emphasizing your independence as an adult.

You navigated through the base, reaching your room, and opted for a brief pause before entering. A gust of wind brought some stray dirt to your face, causing you to cough and wheeze as you approached the door.

You knocked, aiming for a swift retrieval of your belongings. Getting no response, you proceeded to enter, unlocking the door with your key as it was locked.

Lo and behold, Johnny was bent over what was once your table, with Simon pistoning into him from behind. He was moaning like a dog in heat, begging your former lover for his release. Desperate pleas paraded from his lips until he locked eyes with you.

“Lieute- nghhh- Fuck! Lieutenant!” Johnny choked out, trying to signal for Simon to stop.

“Thas’ it, keep crying for me pet. Jus’ like that.” He groaned, still not realizing your presence.

Johnny arched his back to look up at him, tapping at his broad shoulders then shoving him away, unable to make a sentence when Simon’s cock was hitting the right spot with every thrust. When he finally did slow his pace, glaring at him, his line of sight synced with his as he gazed you. His hips never paused, now slowly rocking into the scot’s ass. His hand reached to grab his jaw, forcing him to look at you as his orgasm approached.

“Y’wanted to seduce her, here she is. Look at her, pet. Pretty thing, isn’t she?” Simon grunted.

“S-so pretty”

“I bet she thinks yer pretty too, Sergeant. Do ya think he’s pretty, luv?”

You’re too stunned by the sight in front of you to even speak. You just mindlessly agree, not knowing how to respond.

“Tell him, tell him how good he is f’me.”

You want so badly to be mad, but with the lustful way Johnny looks at you with his beautiful blue eyes, you can’t help it.

“Such a good boy, Johnny.”

He whimpers at your words, cock twitching as Simon speeds up the pace. He fists it, but not for long since Simon yanked his hand back.

“Good boys ask, right pet? Ask her. I bet her mouth would feel much better.”

Johnny could barely muster the question, panting out your name breathlessly. You get on your knees and climb under the table, leaving him and Simon shocked. Your eyes lock with the latter and he fucking groans.

“This isn’t for you.” You spit out, taking Soap’s lengthy cock into your palm.

Hel whines, twitching in your hand, aching for his release. You softly stroke him, starting off at a slower pace.

“Faster, Bonnie. Please.”

And how could you not give him what he asked so nicely for?

You tightened your grip on him, bringing your hand lower and tapping the tip against your tongue before taking it in your mouth. You hear a quiet ‘ah, fuck’ fall from his lips.

Simon was now relentlessly pounding into his ass again, causing Johnny to push forward. His hips were now directly against the table, his cock plundering its way into your mouth as you traced his balls with your finger.

“So… good… gonnae.. cum!”

“Ask first.” Simon grunts.

“Can I cum, Lieutenant?”

”Not the right person, ask ‘er.”

“Please, hen.” He gasps, his balls tightening while he spoke.

You let out a ‘Mhm’, choking on his length when taking all of him in your mouth. The vibrations were too much, causing him to cum on the spot. You give him a few more strokes and take him out of your mouth.

“So good for ‘er, Johnny.”

Crawling out from under the table, you decide to do something you’ve never done with Simon. You stick your tongue out, showcasing the scot’s semen and crashing your lips onto his. He moaned as you ran your tongue across the roof of his mouth, tasting himself before following your movements. After tonging each other for what seemed like forever, you pull off of him to catch your breath, glaring at Simon before walking off to the bedroom.

You're not sure why you did it, but it felt good. Soap isn't the problem; it was ghost.

In the intricate web of emotions, you found yourself tangled, unsure of your feelings for Price, Simon, or Johnny. Each connection carried its own dynamic, leaving you in a state of indecisiveness. Price offered stability, Simon, well, your not even sure anymore, and Johnny, a sense of adventure.

Navigating through the emotional maze your brain created, you grappled with the pain of your heart, torn between different affections, as you tried to decipher your emotions for each of them while you packed your bags.

[onlyseokmins]

Hiii, I've been thinking about a story where scoups is a teacher and yn a student 👀, I'd love to see you right sometime like that,,

Pairing: choi seungcheol x afab!reader Genres: smut (minors dni!), college!au, tutor!au Warnings: lol okay slight bulge kink, kind of mirror sex, tiny sir kink, dirty talk, reader is hornknee okay and calls themselves a whore but lbr so is cheol, light spanking, mentions of fingering, squirting, omigod idrk just lmk if i missed smth as always 🫣 WC: this was meant to be just a simple lil thot idk 🥲 A/N: oops my fingers slipped anyways hi anon 😩 the cheolrot is strong here although tbh i personally don't feel comfy writing an actual teacher/student relationship explicitly so cheol's role is based on my position as a tutor/assistant but i hope you still enjoy this 🫡

"Thought you didn't pay attention to the professor's lectures," Seungcheol coos in your ear, "but look at you now. Listening so well for me."

You can't help but arch your back at his praise. But he clicks his tongue, placing a large hand over the bulge that's formed from his cock fully sheathed inside of you.

"Or maybe I was wrong."

"N-no, I'll behave... I pr-promise." Your teary eyes plead with his bespectacled gaze in the reflection of your vanity mirror when he shifts. Jostling you on his lap, threatening to make you cum on the spot or worse — urge you off. "Please!"

"Please, what?"

"Please, sir!"

He chuckles lowly. A finger that still glistens with the wetness after being deep inside your pussy tauntingly taps at the notes laid out in front of you.

"There we go. Now, tell me the correct answer, lovely. Or we can go back to just my fingers... hm, maybe nothing at all. You know getting my dick inside you is a privilege."

All you can do is moan prettily in response and agreement. Because it really is a true gift. Grades be damned, you think you've excelled in all areas of your life and academic career after achieving this accolade. Getting to fuck the dreamy tutor that always sits in the back of your classroom, beefy muscles unconsciously flexing from his crossed-arms posture. Glasses glinting, eyebrows furrowed as he listens to the professor drone on and on.

At least, that's what you thought Choi Seungcheol was doing. Quite the contrary, actually. His tongue plays with your dainty hoop earring as he whispers in your ear, smirk growing bigger at the depraved image all for him. One that he's imagined multiple times during the semester.

"I asked you a question."

"I... mhm — oh, fuck," you mewl as your walls continue to flutter pathetically around his hard length. "I... I can't!"

"Can't what? Can't stop yourself from cumming or can't answer?" He snarls out his first question before easing into a more mocking tone for the second. "Gorgeous baby too fucked out to give me a proper response?"

Your head hits his shoulder, tongue lolling. Seungcheol savors the way your chest heaves and the tight, low-cut shirt you're wearing showcases your tits just right for him to peer at without shame instead of glances in the classroom. All before he's suddenly bending you over, the side of your face smashed against the graphite scrawls of your notebook.

His hips snap aggressively and cause the vanity stand to bang repeatedly against the wall at the same tempo as his thrusts. Your cute makeup products shake in time, the pretty glass perfume vials threatening to fall. It would be a shame for them to break. Seungcehol adores the scent that wafts past him every day, the same one he's currently drowning in. Yet, he can't bring himself to stop, obsessed with the way your ass bounces against his pelvis to eagerly take every inch of his cock.

"Didn't even give me the right answer."

"'m sorry."

"No you're not," he laughs cruelly and swats at your lower cheeks, "but that's okay. This sick little pussy can make up for anything, can't it?"

"Y-yes, sir... anything!"

"Yeah?" Seungcheol slaps you again, yet the coldness of his rings is the only thing that actually stings. "Anything?"

"Anything."

"Better let me fuck you from now on. Stuff you full whenever I feel like it. Been dreaming far too long of this, you drive me insane. Gotta eat you out, taste you for real. Touch these tits... god, all the things we could do."

It makes your pride swell even if you're drooling like a whore and ruining the notes you tried to labor over intensely during class despite scandalous, wandering thoughts about Seungcheol. Something tells you he'll make sure you won't fail anyways so it doesn't matter when all you can think about is his nice, hard dick hitting all the right spots.

"Let you do anything."

He snickers. "Oh, but you haven't even heard all of it yet. The things I thought of when seeing you giggle with your friends all the time while sneaking looks at me. Had to try and not get so fucking hard when you bat your pretty eyelashes and ask another stupid question."

Those pretty eyelashes are fluttering rapidly now. You won't last long, already edged for a good hour prior. Wetness soaking your ruined thong even before Seungcheol agreeably showed up at your dorm to help tutor you. Basically throwing yourself at him after a few back-and-forth questions and a bit of not-much-needed seduction until he affirmed your verbal consent, fingers exploring your desperate cunt as he quizzed you on what was talked about in class earlier.

Your release hits as you cry out in delirium but he doesn't stop. Doesn't even slow down. In fact, he only speeds up. Fucking you through your orgasm with crazed, animalistic joy.

You welcome it though. Knees having given out a long time ago, you're grateful for the support of furniture despite the slight discomfort because all of that is forgotten by the overriding whelms of ultimate pleasure. He knows you can take it.

"Give me another one, yeah pretty baby? Squirt all over my cock like I know you can. No matter how dumb and cock-drunk you act, you're much smarter than you let on."

"M'kay, sir."

It's true. You're not afraid to play dumb just for his attention. It played off. After all, it's you he's fucking and not your friend who boldly declared she'd ask out the hot tutor today. Well, shucks. Seems like he's been thinking a lot about you too.

Of course, you want to prove to him just how good and intelligent you are. Giving into your body's thralls, you let it do its thing. Knowing it'll get to where you and Seungcheol want it.

It doesn't take long. The mixture of overstimulation, burning desire, and his cock constantly stroking that bundle of nerves in the most perfect and delicious way causes you to snap harder than you think you ever had. Nothing has ever felt this good.

Seungcheol curses. Your cunt both expels and sucks him in as you sob. Slickness splashes against his lower abs and he's almost frozen in awe at just how perfect your body is. So responsive and eager to please. He's left with no choice but to give in and cum on the spot. That's fine, though. This is everything he's dreamed of. And more.

"Shit, I think my dick's in love with your pussy."

You wheeze out a laugh in disbelief. "Thanks?"

"I'm serious. How are you real?"

"Now don't go catching feelings so quickly." You intend to sound haughty and threatening but the effect is lost when you're still breathless and bent over your vanity, a combo of your releases oozing from your spent hole after he shifts a bit. "I need to stay out of academic probation if I want to go on a date."

The hand absentmindedly running up and down your back halts. "You'll go on a date with me?"

"Maybe."

"It wasn't a no."

"I thought you waited for someone's explicit consent."

Brown eyes sparkle mischievously behind his glasses. "Knew you were a smartie."

"Yeah, I do pay attention sometimes," you huff, flinching when his fingers touch at your sensitive clit causing him to mumble out an apology. "So help me study."

"Oh, I will," he assures you. Helping you gently turn your aching body around to face him before suggestively cupping your covered breasts. "But how about a little more anatomy study before our date?"

"Seungcheol!"

But honestly, how could you refuse? Placing your arms around his neck, you pull him in close to meet pouty lips in a shy kiss, contrasting greatly with the sinful way your legs wrap around his hips.

"I expect all A's from a stellar student like you."

"With a dick game as strong as this, I might just oust the top student, the great Mr. Choi himself, from his position."

He can't even be mad, chest puffing out in a weird sense of happiness. "We'll just have to see about that."

[willlic]

My fiance and I were blabbing about potential one piece movie ideas last night and I'm obsessed with this one idea and I know it will never happen but FUCK I wish it would. So basically the premise is its a normal fantastical high stakes adventure for the strawhats, that doesn't change. Plot beats don't change either. But, the twist is its all from usopps perspective. Not like literal looking theough his eyes, but focused on him, and his experience. Generally as a character he notices everything, it's his job to be the sniper, and that paired with anxiety makes usopp hyper aware of his surroundings, the crew members, and where they're at. Idk if you guys have noticed, but unless he's super into a hobby or something he's doing for fun, he's super aware of everyone and their emotional state, safety, his environment etc. That's part of why he's scared all the time, he's very risk aware. So the movie would be showcasing that basically. You would see his strategy options he debates and why, the things he notices about crew members, and get a good look at his internal workings and his perspective of his crew members and their capabilities. And because he values them highly, it will end up having these moments of appreciation when he's observing their strengths. But the story would be his perspective, his experience as he's running around, his thought process and concerns for others that motivate his behavior etc. It wouldn't jump to other characters, just show his story. And after my fiance was done describing the opening scene and its cool details(I won't even try, he did it so beautifully and I can't recreate it) I was like "wait, so are we basically describing 'the zeppo' buffy episode but just usopp instead of Xander as a premise?" And he was like, "oh my God, yes. That's the one where the world is ending but we just follow Xander around and see his highjinx and emotional journey of recognizing his value right?" "Yes, and by the end he doesn't need other people to see his value, or know his experience because he sees it himself and that's good enough." Anyways I'm obsessed with this idea now and desperately wish it would be a real movie. Usopp is such an undervalued character and his scenes are framed as comedic even when he's really cool. This could break that form(slightly, it would still be fun but he wouldn't be comedic releif) and also could showcase characters like nami and chopper as well. Usopp sees their value as well and I don't think namis fights in this would be reduced to just using thunderbolt tempo etc.

The party raged on into the night. Rowdy laughter, drunken cheers, and music exploded from the belly of the ship, carrying across the darkened waves and shooting up towards the stars.

Buggy’s crew never needed an excuse to celebrate, but this time they had one - a new crew member. Although you first stepped on the ship just over a week ago, this party was thrown for you. As the guest of honor, you were kept in the dark until the sun was split in half by the horizon. Stepping into the mess for dinner, your vision was cluttered with bodies and confetti, your ears with shouts of your name and indecipherable cheers, and a drink was pressed into your hand.

You were pulled into the room, a victim in a tide of enthusiasm. Slaps on your back and hands on your shoulder guided you further in the room. Drinks were downed with each cheer that filled the room, yet your container never remained low for long. You couldn’t even keep track of when or who filled your cup, but you were grateful for it with each swig.

The music picked up and the celebratory current carried you through the room. You visited whirlpools of twirling dances. Riptides dragged you into boastful conversations. The flow carried you past plates of greasy food, bright smiles, and joyous laughter. Eventually you ended up in the corner of the room occupied by sirens. As you listened to performances showcasing lilting songs and off-pitch lyrics, you weren’t sure if they were more like sirens of the sea or blaring warning signals.

When a blue haired performer took the platform next, you sided more with the sea sirens. And when his painted lips parted and released an overly confident, nasally rendition of a song you almost recognized, you cast any relations to ethereal sirens out to sea for good. 

What Buggy lacked in pitch and tempo, he made up for in wild enthusiasm. He knew how to work the crowd and it wasn’t long before you were clapping and singing along to lyrics you didn’t even know.

Buggy ended his performance on one knee, a hand raised to the sky, and eyes closed. With his chest heaving, skin glistening, and blue hair shining in the light, you were captivated. The hold on your attention broke the moment his eyes sought out yours and he beckoned you to come to the stage. That was one order from your captain you would not follow.

Knowing your limits, you stayed in place and shook your head. When the group tried to surge you forwards, you grabbed onto a nearby crewmate and pushed them forwards until they took your place in front of the crowd. The attention ebbed and latched onto the new performer, who drained the rest of their drink and launched into a song with a throaty shout. 

The sacrifice was accepted and you drifted back to the edge of the crowd, stopping only when you crashed into a solid object. Gloved hands grabbed your shoulders and kept you steady.

“Why didn’t you sing?” Buggy asked, his voice drifting from behind you.

“It’s not my thing. You were great, though.”

“Of course I was! I’m the amazing Buggy, after all!”

Although you were facing forwards, you could hear the grin his gloating came from. Buggy’s pride was infectious, tugging a broader smile on your own face. The captain continued to flaunt his many skills and his enthusiasm was emphasized by his hands squeezing and gripping your shoulders. His grasp was so large that it almost felt like he was hugging you.

You quickly raised your still-full cup and washed away that thought. He was your captain. And your captain’s exuberant movements had you bump against his chest. You drank again. He was practically shouting in your ear so you could hear him over the music. You also felt his breath on your skin. Another drink. A longer drink, with ale trailing down your chin. The cup was finally empty. Your stomach was sloshing, your head was full of fuzz, your face was hot, and it was time for bed.

“What?” Buggy shouted.

You turned to face the pirate and were surprised to see just how close his face was to yours. Leaning away but staying in his bubble, you repeated yourself.

“I think it’s time for bed. I’m tired.”

Buggy nodded and tilted his head, signaling you to follow him. He finally lifted his hold and your shoulders felt chilly. You trailed behind him until you both reached a quieter area.

“Let me show you to your new room,” Buggy said, clearly excited to deliver the news. “We don’t want you getting lost again.” 

You pursed your lips at the teasing remark and rolled your eyes. “Alright, Captain. Lead the way!” You gestured broadly and were surprised to see another drink already spilling out of your mug.

Buggy noticed the flash of worry on your face. “Need help with that too?”

You passed him the drink and he took a long swig.

“Alright, follow me.”

---

Once out of the mess, the sounds of the party were muffled, which lent a comforting presence to the empty ship. You and Buggy walked through a hallway, talking about nothing. It was a slow journey, each of you subtly trying to match each other’s pace. Any awkwardness from two individuals attempting to follow one another was dispersed by the easy conversation and laughter that flowed.

Buggy drained the rest of the ale and exhaled loudly. “I don’t suppose you have any food you also need help with?”

“No, I wasn’t handed a magical refilling plate,” you chuckled. “That’s probably a good thing. I would have eaten too many of those spicy cheesy things.”

“The pepper bombs! Those are my favorite!” That comment launched another conversation that was just a tad shorter than the rest of the walk.

The next silence arrived slowly and calmly. There wasn’t a need to fill the space, but a small desire in your body was the right shape. You started humming softly, carrying a soothing tune. A familiar tune. Buggy followed along, mumbling the words under his breath, just loud enough for you to hear.

With the end of the walk in sight, Buggy slowed his gait so the song could finish.

“What are you looking at?” you asked at the end. Throughout the impromptu duet, his ocean eyes kept flickering towards you and it was making you nervous.

“I haven’t heard that one in so long…”

“My parents used to sing that lullaby to me. It’s the only song I could think of.”

“But you still didn’t sing.”

“I was going to, but I like hearing your voice.” The confession slipped out too quickly to take back. Rather than dwelling on what you said and letting the embarrassment in your body bloom faster, you changed topics. “I- uh- guess this is my room?”

“Yeah. S’all yours.” Buggy slapped the doorframe, his hand coming down faster than he intended. He leaned into the pins and needles coursing through his palm. “I hope you enjoyed your party.”

“I did, thanks Captain.” You flashed him a smile before opening the door. “I’m glad I’m here.”

After bidding him good night, Buggy turned back towards the party. You weren’t the only one glad you were here.

Princess

fem*Reader x Changbin

*WARNING*

contains: oral (M receiving), over-clothes stimulation, teasing, deep throating, rough dom, jealousy, let me know if I missed anything.

WC: 2k

****************************

It’s been a long ass day. You’ve been practicing since the crack of dawn and the only thing you want right now is to curl up in your boyfriend's arms on the couch and eat an ungodly amount of junk food. 

“One last set” Hyunjin calls out. Your body groans and you with it. 

Changbin walks easily through the doors holding a bag of takeout with him. Your face beams at the sight of him. 

You and Hyunjin have been working on a duet to perform at a new showcase. You've both been working your ass off on this routine. You love the set, it's both sexy and emotional, filled with power and impressive moves to show off both of your abilities. You have to admit though, you are a little disappointed that you're not doing a duet with your boyfriend. 

“Hey princess” Chanbin walks into the practice room holding his arms out. You lightly jog over to him, wrapping yourself into his arms. “Ready?” He asks. 

You slump in his arms, your body practically going limp. “Hyun wants to do one more practice before calling it a day. Think you can chill here for a sec before we go home?” 

You can tell he's trying to hold the disappointment on his face, but he nods again with a painful smile. You give him a small kiss on the lips and jog back to your placement in front of Hyunjin. You start in front of Hyunjin a good foot or two away from him. Even though your body is screaming to give up, you put on your dance face and try to relax your body. 

“Sex to Me” by Charlotte Cardin starts to play. The slow guitar of the beat makes your hips sway in response. Her voice fills the practice room, Changbin has never seen this routine before or heard the song, so he’s seeing this for the first time. The thought sends a weird chill down your spine. 

The song starts slow but quickly picks up making Hyunjin spin your waist to face him. He grabs your hips and your arms rest on his neck trying to follow the beat, once the song changes its tempo Hunjin spins you away from him and holds on to your wrist. He spins with you, your front becomes flushed against his back. 

You and Hyunjin go back and forth. Coming close to each other and crawling away like your minds are battling with each other. It’s not long until you and Hyunjin are pressed against each other, matching the temp, the song is so intimate. The second verse takes over the speakers and you walk slowly away for Hyunjin to do his mini solo. 

However, it's quick. So in a matter of seconds, you're sprinting toward Hyunjin and he catches you, stopping your momentum. He spins you around a few more times until he lets you go to do your last solo.

Your hips sway with the song, you fling your arms across your body showing off every curve flawlessly. At one point you crawl onto the floor making it as sexy as possible, touching yourself over your clothes and swinging your legs around you to bring you back up. 

To end the song you and Hyunjin are pressed against each other, it ends with you behind Hyunjin, arms draped over his shoulder, and his head down in defeat. 

By that time you are both out of breath, panting and your body is screaming for a break. You look to your boyfriend assuming you’ll find adoration and pride on his face, but that's not what you see. Instead, he looks… unaffected, his knuckles are white and his chest is heaving. He doesn’t look mad persay, he just looks…bothered. 

You slowly walk over to him and place your hands on either side of his shoulder. “You okay?” you ask concern written all over your face. 

All he does is nod and motions his head to the door, a clear sign he wants to leave. You shake off his weird behavior and just assume he wants to go home. 

You exchange your goodbyes with Hyunjin and grab your water bottle on the way out, Changbin 5 steps ahead of you. You have to speedwalk just to catch up with him. “Babe, are you sure you're okay, You're acting weird?” 

He hums in response, it doesn’t reassure you, it only worries you more. Could it be the dance? Maybe he's just really tired? You keep coming up with excuse after excuse, it's not until you walk into your shared apartment that the silence finally kills you. “Baby, what's wrong, I really don’t know why you're acting like this?” 

You turn around to face him, but he's still facing the now-locked door. You see his shoulder rise and fall in heavy breaths, you can tell he's tense. 

“You let him touch you like that?” 

At first, you’re confused. Touch me? Who’s touched me? Until it clicks. “You mean Hyunjin? Wait are you mad about the dance?” you question and he slowly turns his head to face you. His eyes are dark and you're almost scared of him stalking toward you in a confidence you’ve never seen in him. But that fear quickly turns into excitement. 

Instinctively you you take a step backward, but he's quick to swing his arm to the side of your head, pinning you to the wall. You can feel his breath heavy on your skin, he brings his lips impossibly close to your neck, and they travel up to your ear. “I’ll say it again. You let him touch you like that.”

You can feel your heart pounding out of your chest, your panties have become damp, and your lips part. Your eyes fight to stay open wanting to see exactly what he will do next. His hand slowly moves a strand of hair that fell in front of your eyes. “You must love teasing me princess” he all but whispers. 

You breathe a sigh. His breath is hot against your skin, it burns with every breath. He places small kisses on the underside of your jaw and you crane your neck to give him more access. 

His warm breath sends chills through your body, making every nerve vibrate. Your hands claw at his shoulders bringing him impossibly closer, only the fabric of your clothes separating your bodies. 

His kiss grows hungry, leaving plump red marks along the side of your jaw and down your neckline, traveling to your collarbone where he slips his finger under the strap of your tank top. You’re wearing your practice gear, a simple black tank top, and leggings that hug your curves. 

“You’re lucky I let you leave the house in this” His hands grip your hips and he pushes his bulge against your front. Your core pulses when he rubs his erection over your leggings, your core begs for the friction, but you need more, you need him. 

“Bin” you pant. 

“Don’t Bin me, princess. This is supposed to be a punishment” he growls. 

He tugs the other strap of your tank top letting the strap fall off your shoulder. The material sticks up, the only thing preventing the fabric from falling are the curves of your breasts. His eyes stare hungrily at your curves, then back to bore into your gaze.

His fingers hook under the waistband of your tank top and he gradually pulls it down, revealing your black sports bra. The bra does wonders to keep your breasts from moving too much, but it's at a price. The bra holds your breasts together tightly, making them appear bigger than they are. 

The tank top rests lazily around your waist, giving Changbin full access to your trapped breasts. 

His hand palms your left breast, kneading it roughly. “These are mine” He leans forward to kiss just below your ear. Your body tingles at the sensation of his hot breath. “On your knees princess” 

You obey his order with ease, falling to your knees in front of him. His frame is towering over you and his shallow smirk is smug on his face. His hand caresses your cheek, admiring your doe eyes and bashing lashes. His hand slowly slides down your cheek to fondle your bottom lip. Slowly he slides his thumb between your teeth and presses against your tongue, the action sends your jaw open.

Changbin removes his thumb and replaces it with two fingers, the pressure of two fingers makes you gag as he pushes deeper into your throat. 

Normally you’d be embarrassed by the drool running down your chin or the noises you make when he pushes his fingers to the back of your throat, but seeing the hunger in his eyes and the bulge poking through his pants, only makes the wetness between your legs sticker. 

He pulls his fingers out, letting them fall to his side. He stares at you, “Jagi, you look so beautiful on your knees for me.” 

You can see the love in his eyes, you feel his gentleness in the way he caresses your cheek, but you can tell what he wants. He’s quick to rid his pants and boxers and presses his length to your lips. You open slightly, only letting the tip slide in. You swirl your tongue around him, watching the way he rolls his eyes to the back of his head. You keep your hands on your legs, only using your head to give him pleasure. 

As you enjoy teasing his tip, you feel the grip of his hand in your hair, pulling you away from him. “Open” is all he says, and when you comply he pushes his full length all the way to the back of your throat. He uses the grip he has on your hair to move your head in and out.

Your lips wrap around his cock in a tightly, giving him the pleassure he needs. You bash your lashes up at him, you know it drives him wild seeing you pretty around his cock. You swirl your tongue around his length which sends a growl to vibrate through his chest. 

You’ve never been this wet before, your practically pooling in your leggings. The need in your core becomes too overwhelming to ignore. So, you reach your hand to meet between your legs, you rub the pads of your fingers over your folds to give you a sliver of friction. Your desperate to find your sensitive buf over the fabric. 

“What are you doing princess?” Chanbin studies you. Watching you bob your head on his dick while pleassuring yourself. The pads of your finger graze your sensitive bud, which makes you moan loudly. You quiver over his dick and it sends chills down his body, “fuck”

Chanbin throws his head back and his face makes a perfect “o”, as his grip tights around your hair. He uses his hips to guide himself in and out of you. You mimic his thrusts on your folds, messy and swift. You can quickly feel the knot in your lower stomcah begin to fold, but before you can feel your release wash over you, you can taste the warm, satly purts of cum. 

His groan echos through the room and with a few last deep pump into your hollow mouth, he pulls out, a small line of spit still connecting the two of you. “Fuck jagi”, he looks down at you, hair a mess, cum dripping down your side, and hand still strategically placed between your thighs. 

Chanbin lowers himself; leaning down to be face to face. His hand comes up to rest on your cheek. Your body is still internally frustrated because of the denied orgasam. “Look at you, your so beautiful…” he pauses craning his hand back into your hair “and so mine” he growls his last statement. Suddenly he’s picking you up and swinging you over his shoulder. 

With a slight smack to your clothed ass he staunts through the house. “Yah!” you shout, trying to squirm in his steel like grip. 

“Now Jagi, let me take care of you properly”

*Sighs and puts head down* Additional thing to put on the fire of Cinder and Winter round 3 communication edition. I recall you made a point about Cinder being rightfully angry as being represented by the glass Grimm in the hotel. And in general her relating/sympathizing with Grimm.

With Winter and Weiss' conversation in Volume 3 - Winter summons a Beowulf and the posture is frankly affectionate. Of the two Weiss favors Glyphs over Summons though she does use the Atlesian Knight as her go to double partner. Winter however leans towards Summons first. Platonic or not, of course the Grimm Cinderella would be going to the ball (to fight) and meet someone who has a parallel to the glass Grimm statutes. Also I must ask - with the possible Romantic connotations what is the Ozlem refraction?

yeah th. the cinwin curse is that it keeps making more sense the longer you look. the allusions add up for an enemies-to-lovers reflection of ozlem – the maiden’s tears heal her lover’s blindness, gerda thaws kai by thawing his heart so he can cry. dancing and fighting aren’t so different, cinderella attends the ball two nights before the prince smears pitch on the stairs, v7 and 8 end with showcase duels between winter and cinder and winter vowing to make cinder pay.

on the thematic fractal side, cinder is a representation of everything salem is supposed to be (selfish, arrogant, cruel, wants to watch the world burn) wrapped up in the question of “and does this justify the suffering that made her?” – and winter embodies ozma’s supposed fatal flaw, the heart that is easily swayed, but reveals the truth that this is his saving grace because it’s her heart that saves her. they are also both quite plainly narrative complements – winter doesn’t have a clear-cut salem other than cinder and cinder likewise doesn’t have a clear-cut ozma other than winter, unless one wanted to argue that jaune ought to be read as an ozma.

so the question is whether this is a specifically romantic fractal or not, and because a) heralding the ozlem reconciliation by refracting it through another notionally impossible enemies-to-lovers romantic arc makes quite a bit of narrative sense, and b) there’s all this other stuff, and c) the actual narrative route to get them there is straightforward because both of them seem to be heading toward some kind of major upheaval, cinder with the increasing tempo of her power struggle with salem and winter with the weight of ‘don’t come back’ and everything on her shoulders colliding with the shock of her sister coming back, and “they take off at the same time from vale/vacuo and meet in the middle only to ricochet in an unexpected direction” is really plausible.

oh yeah and rwby chibi did a skit overtly indicating that cinder’s sapphic. nothing to see here, i’m sure.

Lo-Fi Love: Creating the Perfect 2010s Indie-Inspired Mixtape 🎶

Hey, mixtape maestro! 💿 Ready to dive into the world of lo-fi and indie sounds from the 2010s? Whether you're crafting the ultimate nostalgic playlist or just looking to channel those chill vibes, creating a mixtape that captures the essence of this era is all about blending raw emotion with cool, laid-back sounds. Let’s get into it and make a mixtape that feels like a warm hug from the past.

1. Start with the Essentials: Lo-Fi and Indie Touchstones

To set the stage for your mixtape, you’ll want to include some key tracks and artists that defined the lo-fi and indie scenes of the 2010s. These songs are your foundation, bringing that authentic, nostalgic vibe to your mix.

Lo-Fi Essentials: Think dreamy beats and mellow melodies. Artists like Mac DeMarco, Toro y Moi, and Washed Out were masters of this chill, hazy sound. Include tracks that showcase their signature lo-fi production and laid-back rhythms.

Indie Icons: For that indie edge, mix in songs from bands like Tame Impala, Vampire Weekend, and Arcade Fire. Their innovative sounds and catchy hooks helped shape the indie landscape of the 2010s, making them perfect additions to your mixtape.

2. Craft a Flow: Build a Journey with Your Tracks

The beauty of a great mixtape is how it takes listeners on a journey. You want to create a seamless flow, moving from one track to the next in a way that feels natural and engaging.

Start with a Bang: Kick off your mixtape with a track that sets the tone. Choose something with a memorable melody or a captivating beat to grab attention right away. This could be a standout hit or a hidden gem that encapsulates the lo-fi vibe.

Mix Up the Pace: Vary the tempo and mood of your tracks to keep things interesting. Transition from upbeat indie anthems to more mellow lo-fi tunes, creating a dynamic listening experience. This helps maintain engagement and keeps the mixtape feeling fresh.

End on a High Note: Finish strong with a track that leaves a lasting impression. This could be a powerful anthem, a heartwarming ballad, or a song with an unexpected twist. Make sure it wraps up your mixtape on a memorable note.

3. Add Personal Touches: Reflect Your Unique Taste

While it’s great to include iconic tracks, don’t forget to add your personal touch to the mixtape. This is where you can showcase your unique taste and make the mix truly your own.

Deep Cuts and Hidden Gems: Include a few lesser-known tracks or deep cuts that reflect your personal favorites. These could be underrated songs from well-known artists or tracks from obscure bands that deserve more attention.

Personal Stories: If you’re sharing your mixtape with friends, consider adding a personal note about why you included certain songs. Share memories or anecdotes related to the tracks to give the mixtape an extra layer of meaning.

4. Perfect the Aesthetic: Lo-Fi Visuals and Themes

The visual and thematic elements of your mixtape are just as important as the music. Create a cohesive look and feel that complements the lo-fi and indie vibes of your playlist.

Cover Art: Design a mixtape cover that reflects the aesthetic of the 2010s indie scene. Use vintage-inspired graphics, soft pastel colors, or retro fonts to capture that lo-fi vibe. Websites like Canva can help you create eye-catching cover art even if you’re not a design pro.

Track List Design: Present your track list in a way that feels authentic to the era. Consider using a handwritten font or incorporating elements like cassette tapes or vintage records for a nostalgic touch.

5. Share the Love: Distribute Your Mixtape

Once your mixtape is ready, it’s time to share it with the world! Whether you’re giving it to friends or sharing it online, make sure it gets the love it deserves.

Digital Platforms: Upload your mixtape to platforms like Spotify, SoundCloud, or Bandcamp. Create a playlist and share the link on social media to reach a wider audience.

Physical Copies: For a more personal touch, consider making physical copies of your mixtape. Burn it onto CDs or create custom mixtape cassettes for a nostalgic keepsake.

Final Thoughts, Babe: Embrace the Lo-Fi Magic

Creating the perfect 2010s indie-inspired mixtape is all about capturing the magic of lo-fi and indie music while adding your personal touch. Embrace the nostalgia, experiment with different sounds, and let your mixtape tell a story. Whether you’re reminiscing about the past or introducing a new generation to these iconic sounds, your mixtape is a celebration of the music that defined a decade.

So grab those tracks, get creative with your playlist, and let the lo-fi love flow. Happy mixing! 🎶✨

Moon Maiden Contest Entry: Dance of Flames

At first, there is nothing but darkness and the slow, steady beating of a taiko drum.

The stage is dimmed despite the early morning hour, with only a kneeling silhouette visible at the center. The shadows surrounding the crouching woman start to blend and merge, forming the towering figure of a Ceruledge that now looms over her. A flash of magenta lights up the immediate vicinity as the pokémon opens its eyes, its fierce pink irises staring straight ahead into the crowd as the beat of the taiko intensifies.

A captivating bluish ball of flame unexpectedly emerges at the front of the stage, followed by another, and another. The flames weave an intricate swirling pattern across the stage and around the two figures in the center until they illuminate the entire platform in a brilliant blaze, revealing Blue now standing in the center of a circle of flames. She is dressed in a deep blue yukata with a light blue and white floral pattern, fastened with a silver obi. She looks beautiful with her hair elegantly styled and adorned with a sparkling crystal Butterfree pin. As she holds out the sensu in her hand, her eyes seem to glow in the flickering light.

art by @greenxprof, who is the entire reason for this performance <3

The distinctive sound of a shamisen cuts through the air. Blue sweeps her free arm upward, then slowly raises the pleated fan overhead to showcase its beautiful pattern. With a graceful twirl, she moves to stand beside Ceruledge, holding the sensu closely to her chest. The pair seizes the moment to bow deeply to one another before the dance begins.

The shamisen and taiko resonate together in harmony, and both trainer and pokémon allow their tune to guide them. With eyes downcast, Blue takes smooth, deliberate strides as she dances around Nova, every step and sweep of her sensu punctuated by purple sparks and flames. The Ceruledge is nimble in her movements, her blades glowing with purplish ghostly energy as she compliments her trainer’s gestures with arcs and sweeps of her blades.

As the music crescendos, so does the intensity of their moves. Blue’s eyes flutter shut as she focuses on feeling, not sight, relying on her bond with Nova to anticipate where the Pokémon’s blades will strike next and visually parrying the moves with strokes of her sensu. The two are locked in a dance of fans and blades, simulating the heat of an epic battle, until Blue suddenly stops, her back to the crowd as she faces Nova.

The heart-pounding instrumental music comes to an abrupt halt as she snaps the sensu shut. The gentle sound of a flute now fills the air as she turns to face the crowd, her face illuminated by the ghostly flames. Her sleeves flutter like the wings of a Butterfree as she gracefully sways her arms and then opens the sensu again with a flick of her wrist. Nova remains as still as a statue behind her, focusing all of her emotions on her blades until the flames glow incandescent blue. The Ceruledge's eyes gleam once more as she summons a whirl of ghostly flames to coil around her trainer while Blue is absorbed in her slow dance.

As the tempo of the music coasts down, Blue sweeps the fan in front of her face and holds it out just as it catches in cerulean flames. The stage is once more enveloped in darkness as Nova extinguishes all the pyrotechnics, the music gently fading away. In the darkness, Blue and her partner both take a bow as their appeal comes to an end.

Sukha Darpana - The Mirror of Pleasure

In the intoxicating tapestry of tradition, Shobagini Sundari emerges anew, draped in the divine Kanakavarna saree. The sacred illusion shattered, her form is no longer a mere reflection of virtue; it's a lascivious dance of desires veiled beneath golden threads. The royal blue Nila Peetavastra clings provocatively, telling tales that titillate and tantalize, mirroring the bewitching contrast she embodies.

As Shobagini Sundari sensually graces the vibrant streets, passion ignites in her eyes, beckoning you into a secret world beneath the sanskari illusion. The regal dance begins—a rhythmic seduction accentuating the explicit contrast between tradition and the unshackled Veshya spirit within.

Feel the golden saree's lascivious rustle against Shobagini's skin, a symphony crescendoing with each sensuous step. The fragrance of jasmine doesn't just waft; it envelops as if the blossoms themselves whisper carnal secrets with every breeze. The subtle hum of bustling streets intertwines with the enticing cadence of her movements, inviting you to lose yourself in the alluring dance of opulence.

"In the embrace of Kanakavarna, I become a living poem, each fold whispering tales of desire. The Nila Peetavastra? It's the provocateur, revealing more than it conceals. As jasmine weaves through the tale, the narrative unfolds, a provocative script written in the language of passion."

However, Shobagini's journey into decadence takes an audacious turn. The allure of tradition is momentarily set aside as she ventures into the indulgent world of the Aqua Blue Bikini. The transition is not just a change of attire; it's a decadent narrative shift, a departure from the restrained elegance of the saree to the unabashed sensuality of the bikini.

Guided by enigmatic mentors in the secret chambers of luxury, Shobagini learns the art of showcasing her body with an alluring flair. Private tutors in the erotic arts impart the secrets of allure, transforming her into a mistress of temptation. This education extends beyond the secluded confines of her opulent estate, where Shobagini discreetly invites royal kings for private shows, each encounter becoming a lesson in intimate exploration, a dance of pleasure tailored to the whims of royalty.

"In the dimly lit chambers where she entertains kings, Shobagini's lewd whispers fill the air. 'Kneel not just in admiration but in surrender, as kings before you have. My body, a throne of pleasure, awaits your royal decree. Shall we rule the kingdom of ecstasy together?' she provocatively challenges, her eyes ablaze with the audacity of her desires."

Close your eyes, and let the lascivious rustle of the golden saree infiltrate your senses—a symphony harmonizing with the alluring hum of bustling streets. As the aqua blue bikini strings delicately caress Shobagini's sun-kissed skin, experience a lewd journey—an intoxicating combination drawing you into a state where the opulence of Shobagini Sundari's world becomes a symphony of pleasure, each movement an unabashed act of allure.

"In the kingdom of decadence, I reign supreme, and my whims are the law. Can you keep up with the tempo of my desires or will you be lost in the opulent labyrinth of my cravings?" she provocatively questions, her tone challenging the very essence of your ability to navigate her world.

Shobagini's eyes, deep pools of desire, gaze unapologetically into your soul, inviting you to surrender to the intoxicating allure of her world. Her lips, painted in a subtle hue, part sensuously, whispering forbidden secrets that linger in the air like an irresistible spell. As she raises her arms, the scent of jasmine unveils the delicate curve of her armpits, an intimate revelation that adds an alluring layer to the symphony of indulgence.

"Adorned in the jewels of desire, I beckon you into the realm of ecstasy. My gaze, a bewitching spell; my lips, a tapestry of temptation. Can you resist the allure or shall you succumb to the seduction woven into every fiber of my being?" Shobagini challenges, her voice a sultry melody resonating with the promise of untamed pleasure.

The Aqua Blue Bikini, a mere whisper against her sun-kissed skin, becomes a vessel of decadence, accentuating curves that defy the constraints of modesty. Shobagini's laughter, a provocative aria, echoes through the chambers of luxury, each note an invitation to revel in the lascivious dance of indulgence.

"In the embrace of the Aqua Blue Bikini, I shed the veils of modesty, embracing the unabashed dance of desire. The strings that adorn me, a symphony of pleasure, inviting you to explore the opulent landscape of my sensuality," she declares, her voice a bold proclamation that resonates with the promise of hedonistic exploration.

In this saga of opulence and eroticism, Shobagini Sundari stands as a living paradox—a Sanskara illusion shattered, a trophy of decadence and desire, beckoning you to partake in the forbidden fruits of her world. 💖👑🔥

[fyeah-chanyeol]

Chanyeol, a member of EXO under SM Entertainment, is set to reveal his first solo album ‘Black Out’ today, August 28, at 6 PM KST on various music platforms. The music video for the title track ‘Black Out’ will also be released simultaneously on SM’s official YouTube channel.

The album includes six tracks: the title song ‘Black Out,’ ‘I’m on Your Side Too’ and ‘Clover’—both of which Chanyeol contributed to as a lyricist—along with ‘Hasta La Vista,’ ‘Ease Up,’ and ‘Back Again.’ This album promises a mix of new genres and familiar emotional tones unique to Chanyeol.

In an interview accompanying the album release, Chanyeol shared his thoughts and experiences:

Q1. How does it feel to release your first solo album after 12 years of debuting? Chanyeol: It feels refreshing and joyful. It’s been 12 years since I debuted with EXO, and I’m excited to show a new side of myself. I’m thrilled to finally present my solo album to EXO-L (EXO’s official fan club), who have been waiting for so long.

Q2. How would you describe your first mini-album ‘Black Out’ in one word? Chanyeol: I’d describe it as ‘beginning.’ Since this is my first solo album, I see it as the start of something new. I wanted to create music that I’ve always wanted to make, showcase concepts I’ve wanted to share with fans, and present a variety of charms. Please look forward to it!

Q3. Can you tell us more about the title track ‘Black Out’? What should we pay attention to? Chanyeol: The charm of ‘Black Out’ lies in the combination of melody, lyrics, and emotions. It’s a pop-rock track with a fast tempo, minimal acoustic guitar, and a lyrical synth melody. The lyrics compare the post-breakup experience to a ‘Black Out’—a time when everything feels like a mess, much like a phone screen that’s turned off without any notifications.

Q4. You participated in writing some of the lyrics for this album. Did you try anything new this time? Chanyeol: I usually combine my experiences with imagination when writing lyrics, but for this album, I focused more on my cherished memories. Since this is a solo album, I wanted to share more personal stories. For example, I wrote ‘I’m on Your Side Too’ while recalling the happiness I felt looking at EXO-L during performances, and ‘Clover’ was inspired by spending time with my dog, Jjaru.

Q5. You explored various genres for this album. Which one do you like the most? Chanyeol: It’s hard to choose just one (laughs), but I really like ‘Back Again.’ It’s an old-school hip-hop track with a strong rock base, and I think it shows off a new side of me. It was the first song I recorded for the album, and although it was challenging, it made me want to push myself even further.

Q6. You filmed the album jacket and music video entirely on location in Hong Kong. How was that experience? Chanyeol: It was a lot of fun (laughs). I fell in love with Hong Kong’s beauty all over again. We filmed mostly outdoors, exploring everything from the city center to lesser-known alleyways. I especially enjoyed shooting on a double-decker bus, taking in the city views as we went along.

Q7. You’ll be holding a live tour next week after the album release. Can you give us a sneak peek? Chanyeol: You’ll see both the sides of me that you’re familiar with and many new aspects as well. I’ve been preparing hard every day, so I hope you’ll love the album and the performances.

Q8. What did your fellow EXO members think of the album? Did they offer any support? Chanyeol: I played the songs for Suho, and he said he could tell how much effort and thought went into it. He told me he’s looking forward to it and cheered me on (laughs). We often talk about music, and his support always motivates me to work even harder.

Q9. Is there a moment in your life that you never want to ‘Black Out’? Chanyeol: All the moments I’ve spent with EXO-L during our concerts. Those are precious memories I never want to forget.

Q10. Lastly, any message for the fans? Chanyeol: First of all, thank you for waiting so long. I’m so grateful for your constant support and love. Preparing this album was a joyful experience, and I’m excited to finally share it with you. Without you, this album wouldn’t have been possible. This is just the beginning, and I hope we can continue to share happiness together for a long time. I love you all so much!

Escapade Dance Party 2023 Writeup 3/3

Second Half

Jaskier has no more fucks to give by Gondolin AMV

Obviously, having just shown the other Witcher, I had to open with the more familiar one.

Vids under 2 minutes also aren't actually danceable no matter the tempo, so this makes a good upbeat intro to a section.

Grandmaster of Troublemaking (The Untamed) by NKZephyr Edits

I love the enthusiasm and goofiness of this vid.

Goncharov (1973) | Read the description! by Etoile

Come on, we had to have Goncharov!

TBH, there were other vids, but basically none of them were danceable.

【HIStory3-圈套】On a daily by Nerjaveika

Trapped's moment seems to have passed, but the combination of great use of text and this fun song made this one a perfect fit.

Ego | AMV | Mo dao zu shi & Heaven Official's Blessing (CC Lyrics) by Nitisha Donghua Productions

I was more looking for Heaven Official's Blessing alone, but most of the options I was finding weren't really danceable. I love this song and was looking for a vid to it anyway.

trouble in my head | lan jue & zhang ping | a league of nobleman by Victoria

I have no clue what this is. I probably found it in the sidebar while searching something else, but it's such a pretty vid.

История Бай Ци (AU, Bai Qi/Shen Zui) by Kemriko

What is this? Who knows. I liked it, and it was m/m, so people got to watch it.

BTS Jhope • Gasolina• |FMV|• by kookie taex

In a concession to how many people the previous song would inevitably chase from the dance floor, I wanted to follow it with something much more booty-shaking. I fucking love Gasolina and am always looking for more vids to it. Tragically, a lot of English-speaking vidding fandom has No Taste and does not vid this kind of music.

Yes, this is a vertical vid of J-Hope dancing to Daddy Yankee. No regrets!

Мания Хирото by Fausthaus

Ah, my favorite source of vids: Russian fandom combats. Are they on AO3? Yes. Have English speakers gone anywhere near their vast stores of battshit content? No, absolutely not.

No one at the con, including me, knows anything about this fandom. Too bad. The music is great, and I wanted to dance to it.

Отступники by fandom Vampires of Central Russia 2021

This is another fandom I spotted in the fandom combats. The vid is shorter than I'd normally show, but I wanted to showcase this interesting vampire fandom that I didn't think most people at Escapade had heard of yet.

Sex and Violence by bironic

Another one breaking my rules. Nandermo was a must-have for a vampire-themed year, but mockumentaries are shot like ass on purpose, and that makes them hard to vid, so my options were limited. Bironic's always a sure thing, if not exactly obscure to an Escapade audience.

Sadly, the embed seems to be dead at the moment.

Sex Drive by Franzeska

Yes, I will always play my own vids when I need to fill a hole in a playlist.

Night Watch was such a passion of mine for a while and the source of my ill-fated attempt to learn Russian. I always meant to go back and add text to this vid to echo the weird subtitles they did for the movie, but I never got around to it. Oh well.

【盾冬衍生】no body no crime 黑暗爽文利刃出鞘兰森/我们一直住在城堡里表哥 by 蜜桃奶霉包

Batshit AUs are my favorite. When I found this, I knew I had to inflict it on everyone.

The Hunger - Say Yes To Heaven by themaybatatter

I had a long list of vampire fandoms, most of which I never did find a vid for, but The Hunger was at the absolute top of my list. After scouring the internet, this was the only arguably danceable vid I could come up with and one of the few in general. What the hell, internet? What the hell?!

“你不了解你的妻子，我吻过她” by 没饭呲了

This would be a lot more danceable if it weren't quite so plastered with show audio… but too bad. As usual, sufficiently horny femslash gets an automatic pass. Everyone swayed vaguely on the edges of the dance floor staring, so I still consider it a success.

【巍澜】这可是极限拉扯的鼻祖！！！ by 甜飞惹

Guardian is another fandom where I'm spoiled for choice, but the Chinese vidders do like to include an awful lot of dialogue. This vid stood out for great dance party music and no audio clips.

Morpheus & Hob | The Night We Met by WolfPhoenixWriter

A lot of people were into Sandman this year. I liked this vid for making me feel a lot of feelings despite never having seen the show and barely remembering the comic.

It's a bit slow dance for Escapade, but I loved the emotion in the song too much to not include it.

Boyfriend | FMV | Yan Wei X Xu YouYi by Nitisha Donghua Productions

I guess this was my horny femslash year.

Lee Soo Hyuk - Gwi (Scholar Who Walks the Night) Savage by Serendipity

What's this? Dunno, but it's got a vampire and this great song.

The Monster by frayadjacent

This one was pure self-indulgence on my part. It was made for a con by a vidder everybody knows, but the vidder felt it required too many content warnings and didn't send it in the end. I, however, reserve the end of the dance party to show more content warnings-heavy things if I feel like it. I despise how fandom has turned into a "compromise" where anything that reaches into my soul is never on the table while pabulum always is. Fuck that. I am the arbiter of what's normal.

This vid lit me up in places I'd forgotten.

Ahs Hotel :| Tear you Apart by xxxxxx

This song was used in the show and there are a billion vids to it, but this one is far better than the others aside from how it just cuts off.

AHS isn't a fandom most at the con are in, but I just had to include its vampire season.

A Shot for the Pain by Franzeska

I honestly did go looking for other Penny Dreadful vids. Sadly, the selection was not impressive, and most of it was not to anything danceable, let alone goth club-appropriate music.

【拔杯|暗黑慎入】你是我奇怪的瘾症 by 两只阿夏跑不快

I've seen a lot of Hannibal vids. Almost all of them are gross. Few are as interestingly edited as this one.

Twilight Zone by hmmyeahokay

Okay, this one is a massive blast from the past. Do people outside of Highlander fandom even remember this bad 2001 movie?

I loved the song, and I appreciated that there was a black lead. That and vampires trump the fact that it's a het vid (ish).

Supernatural ►Cry Little Sister by Gwen

I scoured Youtube for vids to this song. I thought this was a particularly interesting take out of the extensive genre of horror set to Cry Little Sister. (No, seriously, it's a genre.)

【荣耀向我俯首｜kinnporsche】没长出恋爱脑前的少爷们怎么能错过这首BGM by 旧城与笙Zz

Kinnporsche hit big this year. I wanted a really fantastic vid that people hadn't seen. I love that this one is by a Chinese vidder (probably) to a French song.

Sadly no longer online, probably for being of a horny BL series and posted on a Chinese site

Kingdom come by fandom ATEEZ 2022

Okay, ATEEZ isn't a big fandom at the con, but this vid is some sort of kink AU, and I'm always weak for that. It's also to a Taylor song everybody loves.

Last of the Real Ones by colls

I cheated again and included a well-known vidder, but do you know how hard it is to find stormpilot vids? Kylux has like eight billion genius animatics and fan art vids. Finnpoe? Bupkis!

I don't know if people still care about this part of Star Wars, but all of the Bandom trash immediately rushed the dance floor when the song started playing.

louis & lestat | take my breath away (interview with the vampire) by ScribbledDreaming

I have ended with this song before, with finnpoe in fact, so that's a little in-joke for myself.

What better way to end the vampire party than the new IWTV and the most over-the-top vid I could find?

[mightybee113]

Raychell and Kohara Riko pick a song from RAISE A SUILEN’s 2nd album “SAVAGE” for each member! [2024/06/12]

― […] How about you two pick a song that fits each member’s image from this album? We would like for you to use your personal views on the cast, ignoring the context of the game’s stories. Think about a song that makes you go “Ah, this reminds me of this person!”. Starting off with Tsumugi-san!

Raychell: A song with Tsumugi-san’s image… Have you picked, Riko-chan?

Kohara: It can only be “BATTLE CRY”! I mean, the lyrics of this song literally say “I am the one and only CHU²-sama★”! This is the CHU² song.

Raychell: That’s true. I thought of “V.I.P MONSTER”. The song’s lyrics and melody feels like a party. This song has that fun, exciting spirit to it that fits her personality very well. Ah, and she often says things like the “Pon pon” like in the interlude. (Laugh)

― So that’s how Tsumugi-san is backstage (Laugh). Moving on, what about Kurachi-san?

Kohara: This has to be that song! Let’s go together, Raychell-san! 3, 2, 1- 

Raychell & Kohara: “THE WAY OF LIFE”!

Kohara: Am I right? I mean, this is the unique song in the album where Reo-chan sings!

Raychell: Yes! She really fits “TWIN TALE” that isn’t on this album too. Next up is Natsume, right? A Natsume song… Maybe “Repaint”?

Kohara: This one is kind of hard… Ah, I know! I thought “-N-E-M-E-S-I-S-” could fit her well and I think it’s for the same reason you picked “Repaint”, Raychell-san. Because… the drum part looks super hard! (Laugh)

Raychell: Ahaha~!

Kohara: I have the feeling that this song really pushes the drums on the shows. Though, I suppose “Repaint” makes her move around a lot too.

Raychell: You see, back in February of 2022, when we had the “RAISE A SUILEN SPECIAL LIVE “Repaint”” alongside Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas-san, we were going to showcase this song so we practiced it a lot and she had a lot of trouble! Every time I listen to this song, I’m reminded of that image of her playing the drums for her dear life! 

― A song that has blood, sweat and tears ingrained into it, huh. And now, the long-awaited Kohara-san song…!

Raychell: Kohara-san has to be “Blazing Bonfire”. She’s someone who is very sunny, always laughing out loud, and has a personality similar to fireworks, exactly like “Blazing Bonfire”. I think out of us 5, she’s the most eccentric person. 

― Oh, is that so? I thought that position was taken by Tsumugi-san!

Kohara: Hey, don’t start saying “Is that so-?”~! I’m trying to sell myself as a graceful lady over here! Don’t change people’s image of me~!! (Pointing at Raychell)

Raychell: Don’t point at people! (Laugh). Ah, “EXIST” fits too, I suppose.

Kohara: “EXIST” was the song I thought of first! This song has that pent-up resentment in the lyrics that I can really relate to… in my life. It’s a song about life.

Raychell: Let’s say the ratio is 40% “Blazing Bonfire” and 60% “EXIST”.

Kohara: That’s right (Laugh). I have your song already. It’s “mind of Prominence”!

Raychell: Ah~. I thought the same (Laugh).

Kohara: I have a simple reason. The first line of this song goes like “Free from these chains, mind of Prominence”. When Raychell-san sings this live, I noticed that she works really hard not to stutter (Laugh). Actually, when we’re rehearsing, she does stutter sometimes.

Raychell: Have I been discovered? (Laugh)

Kohara: I know that you mumble the lyrics to not get caught! That’s why, I’ll always be playing my guitar listening to you in secret, thinking “Will she stutter today? Will she not~? Hmm~ She stuttered!”

Raychell: Listen, anime songs have some really unique lyrics and the tempo is also quick! It’s difficult! What should I do to sing the “Free from these chains” line smoothly now…? Ah, I know. I’ll look directly at you, Riko-chan! (Laugh) 

All: (Laugh)
