Imagine Barbossa waking you up with his wandering hands.

The soft sway of the ship rocked you gently in your cot, but it wasn't the choppy waters that woke you. A calloused hand slid down your side, tracing over the curves of your waist, fingers grazing with enough pressure to send a shiver down your spine.

"Didn't mean to wake ya," a familiar voice rasped near your ear, the scent of rum on his breath unmistakable.

You cracked an eye open to find Captain Hector Barbossa leaning over you, his crooked grin illuminated by the faint moonlight filtering through the cabin. His hand lingered, and you couldn't help but arch slightly beneath his touch, though you tried not to show how much his presence thrilled you.

"Didn't mean to wake me? So, you're just getting handsy in your sleep now," you teased, your voice a little husky from being woken so suddenly.

"Aye," Barbossa drawled, his fingers making slow, deliberate patterns along your hip. "Seems me hands have a mind of their own when I'm near ya."

You rolled over to face him, catching the mischievous glint in his eye. "Seems they know exactly what they're doing."

He chuckled, low and rough, as he leaned in closer, his beard tickling your neck. "Might be they do."

You bit your lip, trying to ignore the warmth pooling in your belly. "And what's your excuse this time, Captain? Storm keeping you up?"

"Storm? No. More like the promise of somethin' sweeter than rum," he whispered, his lips hovering just above yours.

Your heart raced as his hand found your waist again, this time tugging you closer. "I should make you walk the plank for this," you warned, through your heart wasn’t in the threat.

Barbossa grinned. "Only if you join me in the water, love."

You chuckled softly, giving in to the warmth of his body against yours. "You're lucky I don't mind sharing my cot."

His voice lowered, rough and teasing. "Aye, and I'm lucky you’ve got such soft skin for me to wander over."

Your breath hitched as his fingers slipped beneath the fabric of your shirt, his touch light but firm, leaving no doubt about what was on his mind. "Keep that up, and I'll have you swabbing the deck." Another jest, but it was routine for you, playing the damsel in distress to your captain.

Barbossa smirked, his hand still exploring. "If it means I get to wake you up like this every mornin, I'll be swabbin' for all eternity."

You couldn't help but laugh, pulling him closer with a playful glare. "We'll see about that, Captain."

I couldn't be more dissatisfied with your shift in strategy. The only good things on the list was debugging the apps and improving the search engine.

Tumblr's lack of an algorithm and the ability to personaly currurate your experience is the main draw of the Tumblr. It's why it's the only social media I use.

Removing the ability to have total control is removing what draws users. Especially since in this age of iformation overload the ability to only choose to engage with co tent of your chooseing is a Godsend! "Following" is one of the single strongest features on this beloved Hellsite.

Share this with your friends, with how the proposed changes would negatively impact you. And remember to @staff so you're not just screaming into the void. Scream directly into their void.

Tumblr’s Core Product Strategy

Here at Tumblr, we’ve been working hard on reorganizing how we work in a bid to gain more users. A larger user base means a more sustainable company, and means we get to stick around and do this thing with you all a bit longer. What follows is the strategy we're using to accomplish the goal of user growth. The @labs group has published a bit already, but this is bigger. We’re publishing it publicly for the first time, in an effort to work more transparently with all of you in the Tumblr community. This strategy provides guidance amid limited resources, allowing our teams to focus on specific key areas to ensure Tumblr’s future.

The Diagnosis

In order for Tumblr to grow, we need to fix the core experience that makes Tumblr a useful place for users. The underlying problem is that Tumblr is not easy to use. Historically, we have expected users to curate their feeds and lean into curating their experience. But this expectation introduces friction to the user experience and only serves a small portion of our audience. 

Tumblr’s competitive advantage lies in its unique content and vibrant communities. As the forerunner of internet culture, Tumblr encompasses a wide range of interests, such as entertainment, art, gaming, fandom, fashion, and music. People come to Tumblr to immerse themselves in this culture, making it essential for us to ensure a seamless connection between people and content. 

To guarantee Tumblr’s continued success, we’ve got to prioritize fostering that seamless connection between people and content. This involves attracting and retaining new users and creators, nurturing their growth, and encouraging frequent engagement with the platform.

Our Guiding Principles

To enhance Tumblr’s usability, we must address these core guiding principles.

Expand the ways new users can discover and sign up for Tumblr.

Provide high-quality content with every app launch.

Facilitate easier user participation in conversations.

Retain and grow our creator base.

Create patterns that encourage users to keep returning to Tumblr.

Improve the platform’s performance, stability, and quality.

Below is a deep dive into each of these principles.

Principle 1: Expand the ways new users can discover and sign up for Tumblr.

Tumblr has a “top of the funnel” issue in converting non-users into engaged logged-in users. We also have not invested in industry standard SEO practices to ensure a robust top of the funnel. The referral traffic that we do get from external sources is dispersed across different pages with inconsistent user experiences, which results in a missed opportunity to convert these users into regular Tumblr users. For example, users from search engines often land on pages within the blog network and blog view—where there isn’t much of a reason to sign up. 

We need to experiment with logged-out tumblr.com to ensure we are capturing the highest potential conversion rate for visitors into sign-ups and log-ins. We might want to explore showing the potential future user the full breadth of content that Tumblr has to offer on our logged-out pages. We want people to be able to easily understand the potential behind Tumblr without having to navigate multiple tabs and pages to figure it out. Our current logged-out explore page does very little to help users understand “what is Tumblr.” which is a missed opportunity to get people excited about joining the site.

Actions & Next Steps

Improving Tumblr’s search engine optimization (SEO) practices to be in line with industry standards.

Experiment with logged out tumblr.com to achieve the highest conversion rate for sign-ups and log-ins, explore ways for visitors to “get” Tumblr and entice them to sign up.

Principle 2: Provide high-quality content with every app launch.

We need to ensure the highest quality user experience by presenting fresh and relevant content tailored to the user’s diverse interests during each session. If the user has a bad content experience, the fault lies with the product.

The default position should always be that the user does not know how to navigate the application. Additionally, we need to ensure that when people search for content related to their interests, it is easily accessible without any confusing limitations or unexpected roadblocks in their journey.

Being a 15-year-old brand is tough because the brand carries the baggage of a person’s preconceived impressions of Tumblr. On average, a user only sees 25 posts per session, so the first 25 posts have to convey the value of Tumblr: it is a vibrant community with lots of untapped potential. We never want to leave the user believing that Tumblr is a place that is stale and not relevant. 

Actions & Next Steps

Deliver great content each time the app is opened.

Make it easier for users to understand where the vibrant communities on Tumblr are. 

Improve our algorithmic ranking capabilities across all feeds. 

Principle 3: Facilitate easier user participation in conversations.

Part of Tumblr’s charm lies in its capacity to showcase the evolution of conversations and the clever remarks found within reblog chains and replies. Engaging in these discussions should be enjoyable and effortless.

Unfortunately, the current way that conversations work on Tumblr across replies and reblogs is confusing for new users. The limitations around engaging with individual reblogs, replies only applying to the original post, and the inability to easily follow threaded conversations make it difficult for users to join the conversation.

Actions & Next Steps

Address the confusion within replies and reblogs.

Improve the conversational posting features around replies and reblogs. 

Allow engagements on individual replies and reblogs.

Make it easier for users to follow the various conversation paths within a reblog thread. 

Remove clutter in the conversation by collapsing reblog threads. 

Explore the feasibility of removing duplicate reblogs within a user’s Following feed. 

Principle 4: Retain and grow our creator base.

Creators are essential to the Tumblr community. However, we haven’t always had a consistent and coordinated effort around retaining, nurturing, and growing our creator base.  

Being a new creator on Tumblr can be intimidating, with a high likelihood of leaving or disappointment upon sharing creations without receiving engagement or feedback. We need to ensure that we have the expected creator tools and foster the rewarding feedback loops that keep creators around and enable them to thrive.

The lack of feedback stems from the outdated decision to only show content from followed blogs on the main dashboard feed (“Following”), perpetuating a cycle where popular blogs continue to gain more visibility at the expense of helping new creators. To address this, we need to prioritize supporting and nurturing the growth of new creators on the platform.

It is also imperative that creators, like everyone on Tumblr, feel safe and in control of their experience. Whether it be an ask from the community or engagement on a post, being successful on Tumblr should never feel like a punishing experience.

Actions & Next Steps

Get creators’ new content in front of people who are interested in it. 

Improve the feedback loop for creators, incentivizing them to continue posting.

Build mechanisms to protect creators from being spammed by notifications when they go viral.

Expand ways to co-create content, such as by adding the capability to embed Tumblr links in posts.

Principle 5: Create patterns that encourage users to keep returning to Tumblr.

Push notifications and emails are essential tools to increase user engagement, improve user retention, and facilitate content discovery. Our strategy of reaching out to you, the user, should be well-coordinated across product, commercial, and marketing teams.

Our messaging strategy needs to be personalized and adapt to a user’s shifting interests. Our messages should keep users in the know on the latest activity in their community, as well as keeping Tumblr top of mind as the place to go for witty takes and remixes of the latest shows and real-life events.  

Most importantly, our messages should be thoughtful and should never come across as spammy.  

Actions & Next Steps

Conduct an audit of our messaging strategy.

Address the issue of notifications getting too noisy; throttle, collapse or mute notifications where necessary.  

Identify opportunities for personalization within our email messages. 

Test what the right daily push notification limit is. 

Send emails when a user has push notifications switched off.

Principle 6: Performance, stability and quality.

The stability and performance of our mobile apps have declined. There is a large backlog of production issues, with more bugs created than resolved over the last 300 days. If this continues, roughly one new unresolved production issue will be created every two days. Apps and backend systems that work well and don't crash are the foundation of a great Tumblr experience. Improving performance, stability, and quality will help us achieve sustainable operations for Tumblr.

Improve performance and stability: deliver crash-free, responsive, and fast-loading apps on Android, iOS, and web.

Improve quality: deliver the highest quality Tumblr experience to our users. 

Move faster: provide APIs and services to unblock core product initiatives and launch new features coming out of Labs.

Conclusion

Our mission has always been to empower the world’s creators. We are wholly committed to ensuring Tumblr evolves in a way that supports our current users while improving areas that attract new creators, artists, and users. You deserve a digital home that works for you. You deserve the best tools and features to connect with your communities on a platform that prioritizes the easy discoverability of high-quality content. This is an invigorating time for Tumblr, and we couldn’t be more excited about our current strategy.

Going to be finishing up Second Chance story here soon so if anyone has anything they would like to possibly see send me a message and I will see what I can do. Thank you!

[silenceofthecookies]

Hello luv congrats on the followers. Could I get white with whitebeard. Preferably a female reader please. Thank you.

Hello thewildomega! Thank you ❤ I didn’t expect a Whitebeard request, but I’m not complaining. This was one of those combinations that made me go ‘Oh no’. White is: 

Whitebeard watching over his s/o as her guardian angel after his death Warnings: character death, afterlife. 

After dying at Marineford, Whitebeard had no idea what to expect. Heaven would definitely not be for him, he was a pirate. Hell might be the right place, if it even existed. Maybe it’d just be the end, there’d be nothing. So when he found out he had become an angel, a guardian angel, and even better, your guardian angel, he was surprised. However, it made him happy. Even though he could no longer be with you physically, he could still be with you and protect you.

Seeing you cry at his grave broke his heart. He wanted to comfort you, tell you it was alright, tell you he was still with you,… but he couldn’t. Seeing all his sons console you still gave him a sense of comfort though, and it filled him with love and pride for the family he had gathered over the years. Even if his time with everyone was over, he felt content with the time he had had.

Whitebeard is happy to see you pick up your normal life again, no matter how long it takes. Seeing all the pictures of the two of you hanging on the walls made him happy as well. Though of course, with the crew split up, and you being known as the wife of Whitebeard, you get in your own fair share of trouble, and it was up to him to protect you now, even though there wasn’t that much he could do.

He’d steer you in a different direction, away from danger. He’d steer other people away from you. He’d make accidents happen to divert people’s attention. Anything to keep you as safe as he could, because he knew that he could no longer protect you in a fight like he used to be able to.

Not long into protecting you, Whitebeard found out that his devil fruit still worked, though not as strong as it used to be. It doesn’t take long for you to realise that small earthquakes would happen around you and you’d usually find out afterwards that it was a possibly dangerous situation. If you believe in the afterlife you can connect the dots and realise Whitebeard never left you.

Whitebeard loves hearing you talk as if he’s still there. Whether is it because you figured out he actually was, or because you just talked to yourself, or because it’s your coping mechanism,… it doesn’t matter. It reminds Whitebeard of the time he had with you. He often answers, knowing full well you can’t hear his replies.

Do not underestimate Whitebeard though, he loves messing with you a little every now and again as well. He likes taking things you don’t need directly and moving them so he can see your confused face when you find it back in the weirdest place. Good luck finding that book you really wanted to finish today.

Hello luv. Could you pretty please do headcannons for how Akainu would react to his wife dressing as a sexy pirate for halloween? Perhaps a little nsfw pinishment from the admiral? Thank you!! Happy Halloween!

Hey there! Last but not least! 💙 I’m finishing my Halloween batch with some kinky thing here, but hey, this is not a very safe for work blog anyway! 😂

Thanks for your patience, and I hope you’ll enjoy it!

non-gender neutral request (female reader) 

Warning: STRONG NSFW

Spookyvent last request!

Akainu

• First of all, you must know that Akainu doesn’t really give a damn about Halloween in the first place. It’s a celebration for peasants, and pirates, and as the good marine he has always been, he finds utterly stupid to dress-up as someone else, especially when the main purpose of the evening would be to collect candies, drink odd beverages, and scare people 

• Of course, he has never hidden the fact he doesn’t appreciate Halloween, and as his wife, you know probably more than anyone else what could trigger him during such an unwelcome party. He’s already so pissed off only seeing decorations within town, he certainly won’t allowed his marine squad to participate to this non-sense! 

• Yet, as you know him on a more private level, you also believe that provoking his wrathful temper might be a good idea for you to have some fun... After all, Akainu is definitely a busy man, and you’re somehow tired to spend most of your nights by yourself, while he’s finishing to work in his office, or simply because he’s away. And to gain his attention, well, playing a trick on the dedicated night for that could be perfect 

• Of course, Akainu doesn’t plan to leave his office earlier that day, so it’s quite easy for you to know where he can be. You make sure to hide your costume under your longest coat, even if it might intrigue a few soldiers on your way to his office. Even though, they know who’s your husband, so no one would really pay attention, preferring to quickly rush away if you go there to scold him for whatever reason - Akainu yells a lot, they don’t want to witness that and have troubles later 

• Once you’re entering his office, he only greets you with an annoyed look, mostly because he’s busy and he sometimes disapproves your lack of patience concerning your needs. Though, as soon as you drop down your coat, exposing the naughtiest pirate costume you ever found (not need to say how it follow your curves perfectly), Akainu almost drops his cigar right onto his papers

• The surprise is immediately replaced with another emotion ; a wide anger spread over his features, as he looks at you with the most wrathful stare, clenching his fists and standing back up. He barks at you some questions, what the fuck you are doing, that it’s a shame you’re dressing this way, he’s busy, working, and he doesn’t want to be interrupted! Though, even if he keeps yelling at you, he doesn’t look away from your appetizing boobs squeezed so nicely with your pirate dress 

• It’s definitely a brat/dominant game which starts when you know that you have somehow manage to catch his attention. Akainu loves power, he loves control, and he hates pirates. You have all the best cards to whisper that you’ve been nothing but a very bad girl, trying to sneak up into his marine bastion, only to get busted by the most powerful of them... and as you seem so sensual, so horny as well, honestly, he has a hard time (literally) resisting your siren call 

• Still pissed off, you manage to come closer, already on your knees because you really can’t expect him to show any kind of tenderness right now. And even if his fists are clenched, even if he peers down at you with threat written in the back of his eyes, you don’t hesitate, and unzip his pants, feeling the bulge under your fingers. You quickly get to work, throwing him the same horny look as you take his cock right inside your mouth

• For sure, you’re definitely ready for one of the most intense and brutal sex session of your life. Akainu is pissed, but somehow he gets caught to the game, hips starting to thrust as his fucks your mouth, admiring the gag sounds coming out of your throat, ignoring the fact you’re crying a little bit ; you have been a bitch, and bitch shall be punished for her bad behaviors, he wouldn’t go easy on you since you want it so badly 

• Of course, after he made sure to make you cry a little bit, he immediately slams your belly onto his desk, pulling up your dress, only to notice that you don’t even wear panties. God dammit, he can’t help but snarl that you’re just a pirate slut and he’ll show you how he takes care of people who doesn’t respect his laws. Without any warning, he just takes you, right there, slamming his hips so hard that you see the stars for a moment 

• He’s not making love to you for once, he’s not even paying attention to your gasps and whimpers, he only wants you to earn your punishment. Hair pulling, slaps on your rear, arms pulled behind your back as he forbids you to move, he’s not even in the mood to see your face, he just wants to satisfy his most primal needs, until he would force you to get back on your knees, only to plaster your face with all of his cum, since you don’t deserve to have it inside 

• After such a chaotic moment, the only tender gesture he has for you is the pad of his thumb brushing your cheeks for a moment, until he zips up his pants and goes directly back behind his office. He still has work to do, and you’re still bothering him, but Akainu, right before you go (after you wash your face with some tissues), catches your hand and places a soft kiss on the top of it, gently asking you to remain discreet, and that he’d try to come bed very soon 

[thesecondcircleofkel]

Hello luv. So I know you aren't taking request right now but I wanted to know if you would be willing to write for Akainu/Sakazuki when you do open your request back up? If not it's cool, I know not many people are willing to write for him and I'm just weird lol. Anyway hope you have a great day!

Uh, hell yes I'm willing. I'm always down to write for new characters, and I know some people may not agree, but I do find Akainu interesting in his own right and I feel like there's a lot of writing potential for him.

Let Me Cater to You

Requested by @thewildomega: ‘Hello luv i saw you you wrote the one I previously asked for, I loved it. So if I may still ask, what about "Sleep is for the weak." And "Will you let me rub your back?" Maybe with the reader being the one to give sevy a back rub when he tries to fight Sleep like we all know he does. Thank you luv.’

Prompts: “Sleep is for the weak.”, “Will you let me rub your back?”

An: okayyyy, this concept is so cute ☺️☺️!! 🖤 [semi Severus’ pov]

Words: 1.9k

Exhausted was the perfect way to describe how Severus felt at the moment. If anything, he was beyond that, really. He was on the verge of both falling asleep where he stood and yelling out in frustration.

He knew that when he’d taken the position, though he didn’t have the decision to decline it regardless, that there was a chance he wouldn’t be taken seriously. He’d told Dumbledore that the students weren’t going to respect him, especially when a hefty amount of them had attended school the same time as Severus had. Still, Dumbledore told him that he’d had to accept it, and like a lost child being guided by their parent, Severus had done exactly that.

Since that day, and after his short teaching, Severus had accepted that he was going to hate it. He didn’t like children - he detested them truthfully. He wasn’t interested in the students that shared the halls with him during his Hogwarts years, and the same could be said about the impudent brats that walked past him now.

Luckily, with his menacing scowl and his acerbic tongue, Severus had quickly built his reputation in the school once again. It’d taken no time for him to become Hogwarts’ most hated teacher. He could give a rat’s ass about what the staff thought about him, excluding Minerva, and he decidedly cared even less about his students’ views on him.

The rumors on how he treated children began when a certain Gryffindor boy had come up with the clever idea to cause a disturbance in class. The boy, one who Severus had known liked stirring the pot, repeatedly, decided that the quiet, Slytherin girl across from him needed more color added to her attire and chose to throw a few - rare - potion ingredients.

Thankfully, nothing had harmed her, but it had been successful in ruining her school robes. That was when Severus stood to his feet, first checking on the young girl before he let out a rather harsh tongue lashing at the boy. Like a coward, he’d trembled at the deep rise of Severus’ baritone voice and when he’d finally found the Gryffindor courage and that ignorance that never failed them, he accused Severus of favoritism.

It’d started an uproar in the class; the Slytherin side claiming that the boy should be expelled, and the Gryffindor side protesting that Severus wasn’t being fair. Severus, on the other hand, had quickly had enough and determined his next course of action.

A loud bang could be heard from behind him as the chalk that rested beneath the board began writing by itself. It’d written out that the children were to write a two page essay on why disrupting a professor’s class was disrespectful, and forced them to write out one of the reasons they specifically thought why.

The class had fallen silent, quills getting to work, when Severus informed the immature boy that he’d be receiving detention. When he made a move to protest, Severus leaned towards him and dared him to speak against his words. They boy had shut up, wisely, but continued to glare at the back of Severus’ head.

Progressing through the day wasn’t something Severus had looked forward to. He wanted nothing more than to go back to his quarters and fall asleep. But that was a while away.

The tiring day had dragged on with more disobedient children, gossiping staff, and a meddling Albus. By the time Severus had actually gotten back to his chambers, his nose was hit with the delightful smell of… brownies?

Opening his door cautiously, he took note of the sound in his kitchen similar to one of searching through a cabinet. He readied his wand, and against his thoughts that an intruder wouldn’t bake him brownies, he still prepared to cast a hex. Plus, Hogwarts wasn’t the kind of place that had people coming in and out of it so freely, so that was out of the question.

He turned the corner in a tentative manner, and let out a breath of relief when he saw it was you. “What are you doing here?” He frowned.

You jumped at the sudden voice. You’d been too enthralled in your baking that you hadn’t taken note of the door opening and Severus entering, nor him approaching you. “I wanted to surprise you.”

Smiling, you took quick steps to meet his open arms. Your cheeks hurt with how happy you were to see him, though he hadn’t mirrored your look. You knew he was tired, and as such, you hadn’t expected him being too cheery. That wasn’t in his nature anyway.

“I see you’re making brownies.” He acknowledged after a long kiss.

You turned in his arms and held the hands that were linked together around your waist, “I remember you saying they were a favorite of yours, and since you rarely eat sweets, I decided to make you some.” Your shrug was soft but still felt.

“Have they cooled?” You nodded at the question. “Mind handing me one?”

“Of course not.” You laughed. You brought the brownie to him and allowed him to feed himself. Watching how his previous expression vanished, tense lines having left his face and replacing them with a content look. “What do you think?” You wondered.

His response came in the form of a pleasantly saccharine kiss, one that made you tingle in satisfaction at his reaction. “I think, that you might be the best baker I’ve ever met.”

You hummed at the kiss he left on your head, “You’re too kind.” You complimented and watched while he reached for another chocolate treat.

“I believe you are the only person to have ever said that to me.” The chuckle he’d given you made you grin and shake your head, later resting it on the doorframe.

When a moment had passed, you’d asked him if he’d eaten anything. He’d told you yes and that while it compared nothing to your cooking, it was still fulfilling so he had no intentions on eating anything else for the night. Meal wise, because he was definitely going to have one more brownie before bed. Like you, they, too, were one of his weakness.

You two journeyed your way to the his bedroom and you waited in front of the large window in his room that offered a view of the Black Lake.

You weren’t sure how long you’d been staring, but you assumed it was lasting enough when Severus’ chin had perched itself on your shoulder. You had no time to startle at the interruption of your daze, “How was your shower?”

He exhaled, “Well needed.”

“I’d say,” your voice had a hint of amusement in it. “You look awfully fatigued.” You weren’t staring at him directly but you could see his reflection in the cool glass.

Severus’ soft incline of his head was felt tickling your neck, “I don’t want to go to sleep just yet. We haven’t talked about your day and how it went.”

“Your rest is more important, my love. While I’m flattered, you have essays to grade tomorrow and we both know how tiring that is for you.” You had no intentions of keeping Severus up, but he was behaving defiantly.

This time, Severus shook his head. “Sleep is for the weak. I’m not tired yet.” Came his disagreement.

“Whatever you say, dear.” Patting his cheek sarcastically, you signaled for him to follow you, “Will you let me rub your back?”

“Why?” He looked at you skeptically.

You made a face at the question, “Because I always give you back rubs and you look like you’d appreciate one right now?” His face hadn’t changed from that suspicious look, “If you don’t want me to give you one, that’s quite alright with me.”

He’d seen you getting ready to turn around and walk off, falling helplessly into your trap, and stopped you, “If you insist.” He dramatically let out.

Severus prepared himself to lie down, face first with his hands being used as a pillow for his head. He heard you rummaging through the bag that, up until now, he hadn’t noticed with you, and rotated his head to look.

He was granted with a smile and you playfully shaking the eucalyptus and mint oil you were showing him in your hand. You’d brought out a towel and a few incense to set the tone for the night. You were positive Severus would benefit from this greatly, and you were also hoping the stress from the day wouldn’t follow him into his dreams. He needed at least one peaceful night of rest.

You spread everything out neatly before you, but on the side of Severus’ left, and rubbed your chilled hands on his back, “Relax.” You ordered, your voice coming out as more of a light hiss with a drawl.

Severus had obeyed.

When he felt the warmed oil on his back, mingled with the honey and lavender incense that had a hint of amber mixed in, his worries went away. No longer did he feel tense and on edge, but instead, he felt a sense of tranquility fall over him.

Your hands kneaded into the taught muscles of his back, shoulders, and his bare neck. The more you manipulated the tissues of his back, the deeper it arched, until he was pressed too far into the bed. His shoulders had fallen, and had taken on an alleviated posture. He dropped his head to the side, allowing the warm aroma to invade his nostrils and suffocate his olfactory nerves.

Your hands smoothed over the expanse of his figure while your lips traveled up his spine, to his neck, suckling affectionately on it, and stopping to nibble on his ear. You blew into it, causing goose pimples to cover his skin, “Does this feel good?” A quiet yes could be heard in return.

The warm towel you’d brought was placed over his head, although not blocking his ability to breathe. In a matter of seconds, the heated cloth had helped in further calming him and you’d smiled to yourself. You took note of his breaths slowing down and rubbed both sides of his neck equally, slowly and deliberately.

Halting your pace for a moment, you noticed Severus’ mouth had fallen open slightly. Along with his breathing gradually reducing, that was a sign that he’d fallen asleep.

Not tired, my arse you thought.

You knew he was exhausted, he hadn’t hidden it very well - if at all, and when Minerva had informed you of the day he had, you swiftly made your way to Hogwarts. You were aware his new position would be tiring and that it would take a lot out of him, but you weren’t expecting the students to have been so blatantly disrespectful. You brushed it off to being due to the fact that Severus wasn’t much older than the seventh years, however, that didn’t give them the okay to act as they had.

You snapped out of your reverie when Severus’ back rose with a deep breath. You figured it was time to stop straddling his back, seeing as he was now asleep, and got off of him. You let the oils soak into his skin, blew out the incense, and took the now cold towel off of him.

He stirred slightly in his sleep and cracked an eye open to look at you. His eyes had taken on a blood shot look in that short period of time, and he stretched out an offering hand. It was a sign that he wanted you to go to sleep with him, you in his arms while his were wrapped around you.

It hadn’t taken much convincing for you to wipe your hands off on the towel, smoothing the remnants into your palms, and lying down beside him.

After all, there was no better place to be than right there, cuddled up with Severus.

Broken But Beautiful

Pairing : Crocodile X Reader

Warning : Angst, hurt, comfort

Word count : 1.1K

A/N : Thankyou so much for the requesting @thewildomega​ 

If you don’t mind I’ve made little changes for this to match the story. I hope you like it. Not gonna lie, I kinda like crocodile now.

Summary : Crocodile accidentally shouts at you that your hobby is useless which makes you sad and angry that you just decide to break them. Devastated, Crocodile apologises and makes up for it. 

You continued to sketch on your notebook of the new design of sculpture you wanted to make as you waited for your boyfriend to return home. He was taking longer than usual that day. You never considered your works to be perfect or beautiful. But the way you made them, and the effort you poured into them, made you to love them.

At last past 2 in the morning, he returned. You took his coat and placed it on the coat hanger. He sat on the couch as you brought him water to drink, because you knew he was exhausted. 

“What took you so long?”, you asked him as he just drank the water. He gave you a side glance and questioned, “Why are you not asleep?”

“First answer my question, What happened?”, you scoffed as you sat beside him. He sighed and answered, “It doesn’t concern you, so don’t bother”, he said as he got up and started to head towards the shared bedroom. “Wait!”, you said to him. He turned to face you with a annoyed look on his face. 

“Doesn’t concern me? Did you even once tell me what exactly you do?”, you asked with seriousness not fading in your voice but he didn’t even care to reply properly. 

“I said, you don’t have to know about it. Now will you let me sleep, I’m exhausted.”, he complained

“But, just imagine, being lovers and not knowing what you do. Can’t I just get a proper answer. I waited for you for so long and you just complain”, you said for which he got pissed.

“I have provided you with all the comforts you ask for in this mansion. All you did was just scribble in your book about some stupid sculpture of yours”, he shouted. His eyes widened at what he just said, but it was too late. He said it. You disappeared into one of the room where you make your sculptures and slammed the door behind you. 

He knew what he did was wrong. He knew he shouldn’t have said that even when he was exhausted. He stood before the room and knocked on it.

“Y/N”, he called, “Please open the door”, he asked.

“Just leave me alone for now, I don’t want to talk to you”, you said as you hugged yourself and wiped your tears. You knew he was very much exhausted and wasn’t getting enough sleep now a days, but if you were in his place, you would never say that to him. 

Crocodile just sat down on the floor as he leaned his back on the door. He didn’t knew what to say to you. After all he hurt you so much. Even if he was so strong and brave, he hurt the person he loved the most. 

After crying silently you didn’t knew when but you fell asleep. You woke up to the sound of birds chirping and sunrays hitting your eyes. You got up lazily and sat properly. After a few seconds everything that happened yesterday came back to you. You got up and went towards your favourite sculpture and stood before it. It took you hours and days to make it. It was the best creation of yours. It was 9 am and Crocodile wouldn’t be home because of his work.

‘Now, no one would disturb me’, you thought. You took the hammer which was in the room and with one swift moment, you broke the sculpture into pieces. “All these are crap and nothing more”, you said to yourself and went towards the other sculptures. 

You looked at them and said to yourself, “I’ve ruined the most favourite, so these can also be broken with ease”.

You were about to break them but your hand was stopped. You looked at your hand and saw that it was sand. Crocodile stood at the entrance of the door. He came slowly towards you. His eyes were wide open and he was devastated. He was worried about you so he stayed in front of the room in which, you were in, all night. To drink some water he went to kitchen and heard a huge sound of something breaking. He rushed to the room to find you almost ready to destroying the sculptures.

To think, his words made your heart hurt so much that you were so ready to break the sculptures which you loved so much. You never credited yourself to the deserving point. But Crocodile always loved your creations very much. 

“Let go”, you said to him with sharpness in your voice. He gulped and was now before you. He took the hammer from your hands and then kneeled before you. He took your hand in his and placed his forehead on it. 

“I am sorry. Please forgive me. Don’t break your wonderful pieces”, he said

“What made you to stay here? Don’t you have to go by now? They are useless pieces of crap that-”

“NO THEY AREN’T!”, you stopped you in mid sentence then continued, “They are true master pieces that I love”

“What do you mean by that Crocodile? You yourself said they are useless why should I believe you? I don’t need your sympathy”, you said

“I was a jerk! Okay. I behaved like a douche bag. I said the things I didn’t mean. The stress from outside and pressure made me snap at you. For me even if your sculptures are broken they are beautiful. But please.... forgive me. I am really sorry. Please don’t hurt yourself by breaking them. Punish me instead”, he said as tears welled up in his eyes. He looked down because he didn’t have the courage to face you. But soon, he felt a warm hand on his head. That made his tears to flow down his cheeks. You kneeled down and you both hugged each other tightly and stayed like that for a while.

“I do some dangerous jobs”, he said to you, but you didn’t reply. “So, I didn’t want you to know. Because, once, if you know them, you’ll be worry even more”, he ended. You rubbed his back soothingly and replied, “That's all, I wanted to know, at least you told me after all these days”

He loosened his grip on you and pulled back. You looked at him. He smiled at you as he placed his hands on your cheeks. “So, wanna repair it together?”, he asked with a slight blush on his cheeks.

You looked at him sadly and said, “It won’t be looking like before though”. He placed a peck on your cheek and said, “Yes, it will be even more beautiful. even with the broken self, it can be the most beautiful piece of art I’ll ever see.”

You chuckled and said, “Lets repair it”

With that, you and he started to make it again. You knew it wouldn't be like previous. But yes, with your lover helping you making it, it would hold even more beautiful memories making it even more appealing to you.
