Itâs always baker!reader or butcher!Simonâwhich is always delicious, mind youâbut Iâm not sure Iâve ever seen baker!Simon (correct me if Iâm wrong). Fem!Reader.
Baker!Simon who decided to take his therapistâs advice to find a relaxing hobby and taught himself to bake and decorate after retiring from the military.
Baker!Simon who runs a home bakery so he can do what he loves where he loves. Where else could he blast his favorite playlists while creating tasty treats (heâs convinced that listening to Tool truly helps make the goodies taste better)?
Baker!Simon who specializes in intricate dessertsâflawless layered cakes lathered in rich buttercream, perfectly piped patterns across the surface. Soft, chewy sugar cookies with royal icing that has a satisfying snap to those who can actually bear to bite into them and ruin his beautiful designs. Smooth, vibrant macarons with a gorgeous rise and creamy ganache filling.
Baker!Simon who gets his traction on Facebook. He sells his goods on Marketplace and is a member of nearly every baking group on the siteâand is quite popular amongst the older ladies in the same groups.
Baker!Simon who, as amazing as his baked goods look and taste, cannot take a flattering picture of them to save his life. Because of this, he doesnât get as much business as heâd like. Apparently, Marketplace shoppers are picky about camera quality, as if that has anything to do with talent or flavor. Even the baking groups heâs in have given him warnings in the past to take clearer photosâthe admins backed off as soon as the old ladies found out they were picking on their best boy.
Food Photographer!Reader who stumbles upon one of his groups one day, seeing the potential in his treats and knowing she could help him out with his promotion photos.
Baker!Simon who cocks an eyebrow at the ping his phone alerts him of, opening Messenger to see a pretty thing with a camera in his DMs:
Sorry to bother you, but Iâve gone through your profile and I think your work is absolutely gorgeous. If youâre interested, Iâm a trained photographer and Iâd like to help you out with your pictures? No charge, donât worry. Consider it a favor between two small businesses! :)
#uh oh#everyone say âfru stop making new AUsâ#jk send in allllll the asks about him!!!!#call of duty#cod#cod mw2#simon riley x reader#simon ghost riley#Baker!Simon

TOO LOST IN YOU
Paige Bueckers x reader (no use of y/n)
reader is a bartender at tedâs! and had a falling out with paige after fucking on and off for months. now paige is back at tedâs, needing her again.
Warnings: SMUT! also toxic!paige and language etc. you know the drill
A/N: wrote this because i'm stubborn and competitive and that one anon (who since apologised ily lol) thought english wasn't my first language lmao. also, this COULD become a multiple part series if people want but idk, idek if i'll ever write anything else lol. but we'll see! please let me know, would love to hear you guys' thoughts :) ily. ALSO the title comes from the song Too Lost In You by Sugababes (which will be the inspo for the series if this actually becomes one). SORRY THIS IS SO LONG OMG
-
âYo Iâm about to get fucked up tonightâ A strong voice comes through from the bar entrance.
I would recognize that voice anywhere. Before I even lift my gaze Iâm brought back to the memories of her talking into my ear mid shift, hands on my waist, soft whispers in my ear telling me how good I looked. Or the flashing images of her in my bed on top of me, sweat dripping down her back, talking me through it inbetween groans. The images I replayed over and over in my head, a lot more than Iâd like to admit - more than was okay for someone who had called the whole thing off between us anyway.Â
In a panic I quickly bent down to hide behind the bar, pretending that scrubbing the sticky liquor stains off the floor was of the utmost importance. All just to get away from having to serve her.
âHey, can you get this one, Iâm dying for a breakâ Natalie, my co-worker, says - clueless to the hiding or the cause of it. For a moment I consider faking a heart attack, throwing a glass at her, or simply screaming ânoâ. But her round eyes (and the fact I needed to keep this job to pay the bills) softened me. With a deep breath I nod and stand up behind the bar, as Natalie walks off. Leaving me face to face with her.
Sheâs standing in front of me - Paige. It had been weeks since I had seen her last, doing everything in my power to avoid her. My eyes canât help it though when they travel from her long fingers to her veiny hands to her broad shoulders that I swear had filled out even more in the weeks I hadnât seen her. My gaze roams over her neck and my knees almost buckle at the memory of burying my head there, leaving open mouthed kisses on her pale skin. The way it bruised and reddened. The navy blue Uconn trackies made her skin even brighter, and I swear she glowed a little. Finally, my eyes land on her bright blue eyes that are already staring at me, heavy lidded, needy even. The way they always looked when she made her way to my dorm in the middle of the night, needing me.
Her eyes widen. âOh⌠didnât know you were working todayâ Paige says. Itâs a lie. Itâs clear in the strain of her voice, the way her fingers twitch. Last time we talked I told her I never wanted to see her again. But right now as she towered over me forcing me to tilt my head up to meet her gaze, I nearly forgot why.
âWhatchu want?â I ask, ignoring her statement already instinctively reaching for the grenadine. I knew her too well to pretend anything else. My stomach twisted uncomfortably thinking about how we had left things between us.
Paige pretends to think. âUhh⌠a dirty shirley.â Her words are slightly slurred. Sheâd already been drinking. I move my eyes away from hers, unable to take the severity of her stare. The tension is broken, however, by a very drunk KK crashing into Paige and leaning over the bar. âalso shotsâ KK adds and nudges Paige who smiles weakly, her eyes never leaving mine. With the way she looked I mightâve thought she had missed me - but I knew better. Paige Bueckers did not yearn for any girl. Certainly not me.
I smile widely at KK. âYou wanna be more specific?â I ask, making the shirley with a rehearsed ease. I had made quite a few since Paige had taken a liking to me earlier in the year, coming over to Tedâs almost every night, sitting in the corner with her teammates watching me, tipping me way too much with that smug grin of hers. It wouldâve pissed me off if she wasnât so insanely, out of this world hot.
âAnything strongâ KK snorts and I let out a chuckle, reaching for the vodka. âYou got it.â
I set the drinks on the counter but Paige is quick to grab hers, her fingertips pressing into mine for just a moment. I nearly whimper at the contact, seeing how Paigeâs jaw flexes and cheeks blush. She felt it as much as I did, the tension from the last time we slept together.
âThanksâŚâ Paige murmurs uncharacteristically quiet. KK rolling her eyes and scoffing, grabs the shots for her and the team. âBroâ KK shakes her head at the interaction, leaving the blonde alone with me to pay. I try to ignore the burn between my legs, watching her long fingers shuffling through cash in her wallet. It would take a gun for me to admit I had been thinking about those fingers during lonely nights and fuck, even nights spent with other people. No matter what no one ever measured up to how those fingers knew exactly what to do, which buttons to push.
âKeep the rest, maâ Paige says, snapping me out of my daydream. My mind is too hazy to take in the nickname. I canât get a single word out before sheâs already turning away, dirty shirley in hand and a stupid grin on her face. She had got to me and she was enjoying every moment.
â
Paige dangled over the bar, her eyes wide and searching, finally setting on me walking out from the back. Sheâs pushing her blonde hair off her face with a sloppy, uncoordinated movement, clearly feeling the alcohol. I stop her before she can speak though.
âIf you want another one you gotta ask Natalie, Iâm off my shift,â I tell Paige, refusing to give her my attention the way I knew she wanted.
âI know, youâre off this time every week,â Paige chuckles and leans forward with her elbows on the bar. She was in a Uconn tee now, her biceps flexing. It takes all my willpower not to stare. âWe should talk.â
âWe really shouldnât,â I say sternly, taking off the name tag I had been wearing. âPretty sure I said I never wanted to talk to you again.â
âSure and you also called me a bitch but never stopped us from fucking before either,â Paige says, a slight annoyance in her voice, preferring to have her way. Sheâs licking on her grenadine stained lips, chasing my gaze. I finally meet hers, ignoring the aching I felt looking at her eyes on me. I knew how this ended up unless I left. Now.
âI have class tomorrow,â i sigh, walking around the bar towards the exit and throwing on my jacket. Before I know it Paigeâs hand grips my arm holding me still. I can smell her around me. Grenadine and alcohol sure, but also the scent of her. The scent I looked for everywhere. Her eyes were pleading, like I was water and she was on fire. I almost forgot why I hated her, just for a second.Â
âLemme drive you ma,â Paige pleads.Â
âYou canât drive, you're drunkâ I scoff, brushing her hand off of me. A feeble attempt as Paigeâs free arm quickly snakes around my waist and pulls me in, her scent so strong now itâs making me dizzy.
âBut I need to talk to you, been driving me crazy,â She murmurs with a slight whine in her voice. For a moment I waver, her hand firmly on the small of my back, all her height towering over me. It made my head spin.
Paige takes it as a sign and leans closer, pulling me in tighter but I place my hand on her chest holding her back, suddenly aware of how empty the bar was and how the most famous person on campus probably shouldnât be doing this in public. I notice the way her chest is heaving, mine doing the same. The fabric of the shirt underneath my fingertips felt all sorts of wrong, I needed it off of her immediately. No, I had to be stronger than this.Â
But I wasnât.
âDo you need a ride back to campus?â I ask her and swallow. The way her tongue slides over her lower lip as she watches me forces a deep blush to set on my face.Â
âYeah, bad,â Paige murmurs and I push her hands off me, wordlessly heading to the door with Paige following close behind. She hurries past me to open the car door for me. I would think it was sweet if I didnât know that it was just one of her plays. One of the ways she made girls like me think she actually cared. She didnât. She just wanted to fuck.
The air is tense as I start the car, praying Paige doesnât notice the slight tremble of my hand. Iâm not sure if itâs anger or how weak her touch had made me feel. Either way I had to get rid of her fast. Paige slouches on the passenger seat, watching me with hooded eyes, leaning her head back against the seat. Her legs were spread wide apart, sweatpants pulled low enough for her the logo Nike Pros to peek out. For a second all I want to do is pull up somewhere desolate and climb on top of her - from the smirk on Paigeâs face I can tell sheâs having the exact same thoughts.
The quiet hum of the car motor soothes my nerves until her voice cuts through the air.
âBeen missing you yâknow-â Paige starts but I interrupt, knowing she had the tendency to talk herself right into my bed.
âTold you I never wanted to talk to you again, remember?â I say with a slight shake in my voice.
âBaby câmon, you werenât serious about that,â She groans, her voice filled with amusement.
âWhat, the screaming didnât seem serious to you?â I sigh, my eyes strictly on the road. Paige letâs out a chuckle and leans forward on her seat.
âIon remember non of that, just remember how bad I wanted to fuck that attitude out of you,â she chuckles and the car slides into the passing lane momentarily as i slap her only half seriously across the chest. I pull over on the road, parking the car. The amusement in her tone pissed me off bad. I had enough.
âGet outâ I tell Paige sternly, rage and annoyance swirling inside me. She had no right to be making light of the situation. Not after what she did, how bad it had hurt me.
Paige lets out a laugh. âMan youâre crazyâ she tells me turning to face me. I face her too, the anger turning my cheeks even brighter.Â
âIâm fucking serious. Get out,â I repeat my voice rising a little but it doesnât have the desired effect. Paige just chuckles and shakes her head. I wanted to strangle her, she drove me crazy.
âKK always telling me I pick the crazy ones, Iâm thinking sheâs right,â Paige groans, not taking any initiative to get out of my car. I unbuckle my seatbelt and groan. I lean over Paige manspreading on the passenger seat, reaching for her door as she grabs my wrist, my face so close to hers I could smell the alcohol on her breath. The air in the car shifts, my annoyance turning into something that made my legs feel weak, as she licks her lips, her eyes on me. âM sorry ok,â Paige says, her voice low and hoarse now. Her eyes plead again.
And I fold, again.
âI donât wanna hear a word from you, mmkay?â I say clearing my throat and pulling back from her before I made some really, really bad choices.
âYes maâam,â Paige grins, satisfied by the effect she had on me.
I start the car and in silence we drive back to Storrs, the streets quiet on the dark tuesday night. Paige fiddles with the zipper of her hoodie, her nimble fingers needing something to do - always looking for something to toy with.Â
I tried to shake the feeling of each cell in my body screaming for her, needing to feel her skin against mine. I knew we werenât good for each other. She wasnât good for me. Part of me wished she came to tell me sheâs done fucking around. That Iâm all she wants, better than all the countless other girls that spent nights in her bed. That I was different, special. Worth letting everyone else go for. Frankly, even if she told me all those things, each word I wanted to hear, I wouldnât believe her.Â
When you were with Paige, it never felt like you were one of many though. She knew how to make you feel like you were the only one. It was in the way her blue eyes roamed my face, in the whine of her voice - like she would die if she didnât have me. Sheâd remember your favourite movie and your motherâs name and the way you liked your coffee. All just to go see some other bitch later and repeat the same routine with her. Even with the girls she fucked, she had to be the best. Not because they meant anything, but because thatâs who she had to be - the best. A winner.
Paige stretches her arms behind her head, the grey Uconn tee hiking up just enough for the skin on her lower abdomen to peek out as I park the car. Jesus. I quickly look away.
Thereâs a moment of silence, Paige staring at me intently.
âLook, I-â she starts but I quickly climb out of the car, not wanting to hear it. Sheâs quick to follow me though, her long limbs catching up to me faster than I liked.
âMa, câmon-â
âDonât call me that,â I say, doing my best to sound stern as I head towards my dorm in a hurry, Paige right next to me. The campus was empty, most students already in their dorms, spending the night in.
âBro you gotta listen to me-â
âNo I donât, you got your ride home now fuck off!â I yelp, entering the building as Paige holds the door open for me, still persistent on following me. âYou said youâd keep your mouth shut so⌠keep it shut Paige.â
âWell⌠I liedâ She murmurs rubbing the back of her neck, still on my tail all the way to my door. For a moment she watches me struggle with the lock, my hands shaky from the mix of anger and how bad the need between my legs had grown just from being near her. Paige reaches over, unlocking the door for me, her hands brushing against mine. I close my eyes and sigh - I really had to get it together.
âWell yeah you do that huh,â I say bitterly entering my dorm. Paige leans against the doorframe, not letting me lock her out.
Paige chuckles and shakes her head. âBro youâre being so dramatic, we both knew what this was when we got into it. Itâs not like you didnât fuck around too!â Paige raises her voice, slightly amused, slightly bitter.
The truth was, I hadnât slept around. Since Paige first fucked me, she took over me, consumed me. I would never admit this to her but I couldnât even think about anyone else.Â
âGod, you can be such a bitch I swear to-â I groan loudly, rolling my eyes but Paige interrupts me, stepping into my room.
âMe?! Youâre the most psycho bitch I ever met-âÂ
âPsycho bitch?!â Iâm screaming now, my body hot with rage. âIt was you who told me you werenât fucking anyone else with some other bitchâs bra under your bed! Not me!â
Paige groans and shuts the door behind her, throwing her head back in frustration. âItâs just something people say! You were in those purple panties too ma, Iâm not responsible for the shit I say when you wear those,â Paige argues. I chuckle, turning to face her. She was staring at me, heavy lidded and jaw sharper than usual from grinding her teeth together. Paige was getting pissed off, wondering if any pussy was worth this much trouble.
âYouâre a fucking sociopath P!â I yell at her as she takes a step towards me, her eyes darkening. The blue in her eyes nearly gone from the way her pupils were blown out.
Paige grins smugly at me, licking her lower lip, looking me up and down. âYeah? What else?â she says smugly, her big hands coming to hold me by my waist. The moment my eyes meet hers I knew it was over for me. Suddenly my legs felt weak, and my head spun.
âAn asshole too,â I answer, my voice breathy and more quiet. My body was immediately responding to her touch, Paigeâs fingertips sliding underneath the hem of my shirt sending goosebumps everywhere.
âYeah?â Paige grins, with a smug tone. I nearly fall over.
âYeah,â I repeat, my chest heaving.Â
âThatâs too bad maâŚâ Paige murmurs, her eyes roaming from my eyes to my lips, down my body.Â
I furrow my brows, fighting to not let out a whimper as her fingertips rubbed up and down against my sides, carefully over each rib. Up and down.
âItâs too bad 'cause Iâve been dying to fuck you,â She says with a low voice, eyes returning to meet mine. âShit baby, watching you tonight, the way your ass looks in those jeans? Fuckin' killing me,â she adds shaking her head. Paigeâs hand drifts down from my waist to my hips, all the way to my ass. Gripping it hard as she groans.
I canât fight the whimper that spills from my lips, the way my eyes flutter shut just for a moment. Paige grins, watching my reaction. She pulls me closer by my ass, my body pressing against hers as she towers over me. Paige leans down, nuzzling her nose against my ear. And I donât stop her. I bite my lip, feeling the way my panties were growing damp already. Only Paige could have this kind of effect on me - one touch and a few words and that grin and I was hers. She knew it as well as I did and I hated her for it.
I was too weak to hate her right now though. Too far gone.
âBut since you hate me so badâŚâ Paige whispers into my ear, her lips brushing against it as she leaves a few wet kisses right under it. âI should probably leave.â
In a haze I reach up to wrap my hands around her, my hand pressing against the back of her neck to keep her there. To make sure she didnât go.
âNoâŚâ I nearly whine. Paige chuckles against my neck, kissing it slow and soft. Her hand kneads my ass again, like she had been dying to feel it.
âNo? You want me to stay?â She says, teasing.
âWant you to stay,â I murmur, tilting my head to the side, my eyes shut now.
âWant me to get you right ma?â Paige asks hoarsely. My body feels like putty as she holds me against her, like she could do whatever and I could do nothing but watch. I didnât feel in control. I never did with her.
âY-yes,â I finally admit with a sigh.
Paige pulls away from my neck, her lips ghosting mine. Her breathing was heavy. She needed this just as bad as I did.
âAttagirl,â she murmurs and finally presses her lips against mine. I moan against her, Paigeâs lips slide against mine hungrily - like all these weeks apart she had been underwater and I was air. She could finally breathe.
With a swift movement, Paige pulls my shirt off, leaving me in a bra and jeans as her lips return to mine with a groan. Paigeâs tongue slides against my lower lip, begging for access. I open my mouth, my tongue meeting hers, my hands pulling on her t-shirt, feeling the muscles on her abdomen, earning a small whine from her.
âFuck,â she whimpers and walks me back without breaking the kiss. The backs of my legs hit the edge of my bed, forcing me to fall over. Paige watches me hungrily, her mouth ajar just slightly as her eyes roamed my body. âSo fucking sexy,â she groans, pulling her shirt off over her head before climbing on top of me in her sports bra.
Paige starts kissing my neck roughly, sucking and nibbling enough to leave bruises to remind me of her later. Her leg finds its way between my legs, quickly pressing against my core as her free hand roams my side, fingers sliding underneath my bra and kneading my breast.
âFuck, PâŚâ I whimper arching my back off the bed. The friction provided by her leg was the opposite of relieving, making me more aware of all the layers of fabric between our bodies. âNeed these off,â I murmur breathlessly, my hands pulling the blue sweatpants down desperately as Paigeâs open mouth moves from my neck to my jaw.
âWhatever you want baby,â she whispers, kicking off her pants. She was now on top of me in a sports bra and Nike pros, a silver chain dangling against my chest. Paige leans back a little, eyes roaming my body, shaking her head like she couldnât believe I was real. Her blonde hair was down and tousled from the way I had been gripping it. She grabs a hair tie from her wrist, tying it back messily, licking her lips.
âBaby, I need to taste you or I might die.â
With that Paige brings her lips back to my neck, making her way down with a trail of wet, sloppy kisses between my breasts, down my stomach, my hip bones, her hands unbuttoning my jeans, shaky with need. Â
I watch as she gets on her knees on the floor between my legs, her blue eyes my face as she pulls down my jeans painfully slowly. I buck my hips, needing her mouth on me so bad I felt lightheaded. Paigeâs hands pin my hips down with a grin, eyes moving to my panties and the visible spot that had grown wetter under her gaze.
âFuuuckk ma,â she groans, finally bringing her lips to my core, kissing over my panties.
I whine and grip the sheets beside me, trying to buck my hips closer but Paige shakes her head, still holding my hips still firmly against the mattress. âThought you hated me,â she murmurs against my core. I wanted to cry, needing her lips on my bare skin. The feel of her mouth through my panties wasnât enough.
âI do,â I whine, squirming in frustration, throbbing with need. I wanted to hate her, I really did. But when she was between my legs, pinning me down, a chain on her neck and that smirk on her face, I simply couldnât.Â
Paige brings her hand to my hip, finally pulling my panties down to my ankles, her eyes never leaving my core. With a bite of her lip, she brings her finger to my cunt, already soaked, all for her. Her fingertip presses against my clit menacingly, enough to make me gasp.
âIf you hate me so much then why are you this wet huh?â Paige teases with a gravelly voice, starting to circle my clit slowly, drawing out whimpers from my lips. My legs immediately trembled, and I watched her with heavy eyes and furrowed brows, nearly unable to think yet alone speak.
âYouâve been such a bitch all night shoulda known you just needed to be fucked,â she chuckles, pressing her fingers harder against my clit, making me let out a moan. It had been weeks since we last did this yet the way she touched me seemed practiced and effortless, like she had been doing it every single day of her life.
âFuck you,â I moan arching my back as Paige bit on my inner thigh, the veins in her forearm turning visible from the strain of rubbing my clit.Â
âNah ma,â she breathes out, shaking her head. âIâmma fuck you. Just need to taste this pussy first,â Paige groans and leans over, both her hands gripping my inner thighs harshly, forcing them apart as she dives in face first, her lips quickly attaching to my clit.
âShit. Paige, I-â I moan, unable to come up with any comprehensible thought, Paigeâs tongue lapping me up like she really would die if she didnât taste me. Paigeâs eyes are fluttering shut and sheâs moaning against my cunt, unable to get enough.
âFucking missed this pussy so bad,â she murmurs against me, wrapping her lips around my clit and sucking. âTaste so fucking good, never gonna get enough of you,â she rambles on, making a quick mess of me. It doesnât take long for the coil in my stomach to tighten, my hand gripping onto Paigeâs blond hair, falling out of the bun now.Â
âPaige-â I whine, throwing my head back, feeling her tongue swirling in my folds. The sheets underneath me were growing damp, wetness dripping out of me from how good she was eating me out.
Paige pulls away spreading my folds apart with her fingers. âShit ma she loves me huh,â she groans at the sight of me dripping all over the bed. Her words make my eyes roll back. Without warning she pushes two fingers inside me, all the way, as deep as she could.Â
âOH fuck Pâ I gasp loud, bringing my eyes to her face, glistening with the mess I had made on her. She groans, my cunt tight and wet around her fingers as she curls them against me, her bicep flexing as she does. I moan loudly, throwing my head back, my legs shaking bad. Paigeâs thumb rubs against my clit harshly as she pumps her fingers into me, other hand holding my squirming body still.
âP⌠mmph, please,â I cry out, not even sure what I'm pleading for.Â
âShh,â Paige coos, her hand reaching up to cover my mouth and shut me up. âListen ma,â she says and groans. The room is filled with the sound of my wet cunt, as her fingers slam into me faster, curling harder. My cheeks burn up, almost embarrassed at the state that she had me in.
Paige grins watching my face. âDonât sound like you hate me, huh,â she murmurs, a bead of sweat dripping down her face. âNo one else gets you this wet right? No one fucks you like this,â she groans, hand moving from my mouth to gripping my jaw, making me watch her finger me.
âMmmh,â i whimper and grip the sheets harder, overwhelmed with the fullness her fingers were causing. I wanted to look away, unable to take the way her arm looked, muscles flexing, veins prominent, as she worked me. It was all overwhelming me as the pleasure built enough to make me shut my eyes.
âAnswer me,â Paige commands, her voice stern and her hand moving faster.Â
âShit⌠No one.. No one fucks me like this,â I cry out, unaware of what was coming out of my mouth. Too fucked out to care.
Paige moans. âShit, thatâs right. No one baby, only me,â she murmurs, her mouth returning to my clit, tongue working against it as her fingers fill me up, overwhelming me and getting me to my peak.
âP- Iâm close,â I cry out, my legs nearly shutting but Paige grips my thigh with her free hand, spreading me open for her.
âThatâs it ma, sâ good for me,â Paige coos working harder, her fingers curling inside me, tongue flicking against my clit. âCome for me baby,â she praises, groaning against me.
âOh-â I whine and my head lulls back as my core tightens around her, my legs trembling, Paige fucking an orgasm me to my orgasm. Who cared she slept around, who cared I was supposed to hate her. In this moment, it was just me and her. And no one made me feel like she did, no one took care of me like this.
âPerfect fucking pussy, all for me,â Paige groans against my cunt, working me as I released all over her, the pleasure washing over me in waves. My moans turn to whimpers as I slowly come down, her movements slowing too.
I let out a breath, feeling the aching emptiness inside me as Paige pulled her hand away. She watches my pulsing cunt, mesmerised and hungry. The thing about Paige, one was never enough for her. Her lips kissed around my clit before pulling away, licking her lips from my mess.Â
âMissed how you taste baby,â she murmurs while I lay back, trying to catch my breath. Paige brought her fingers against my lips, sliding them into my mouth. I wrap them around her fingers, tongue swirling against her, tasting myself. Paige hisses, watching me sucking on her fingers. With a groan she climbs back up, kissing me hungrily. The taste of me, and her saliva all mixing together.Â
Her lips move against mine, the kiss filled with something more tender than pure lust. My arms wrap around her shoulders, pulling her in as we move up towards the headboard of the bed. Paige breathes heavily through her nose, kissing me with all the need she had, her hand holding my face by my jaw. I move my hand from her shoulder, down her arm, squeezing her bicep, all the way to the band of her Nike Pros, tucking on them.
âNeed to feel you P,â I admit in a moment of weakness, my heart fluttering with how good it felt to be underneath her again. I needed all of her.
Paige pulls back a little, breathing heavy and I swear her eyes are filled with tenderness for just a second as they meet mine. Her fingertips trace my jaw and lower lip before letting go and pulling down the fabric I was tugging on, lips parted from need. My eyes roam her sports bra covered chest, down the muscles of her abdomen finally to her core. I swallow hard, my mouth suddenly going dry.
I reach up and flip us over, with some help from Paige who was much stronger. She grins, watching me on top of her, straddling her thigh as I lean down and kiss her hard. Paige is quick to place her hand on my ass, gripping it harshly and hissing at how good it felt to touch me. My hand trails down her abdomen, fingertips itching to feel her cunt but she grabs my wrist, shaking her head.
âRide me ma,â she says, half commanding, half pleading. I open my eyes meeting her eyes and I realise, she is fully pleading.Â
âNeed to feel that pussy on mine.â Shit.
Too weak to fight or to make her beg, I maneuver myself between her legs, angling her body just right, Paigeâs other leg up in the air in my grip. Paige watches me, leaning back against the bedframe, eyes half shut and mouth agape, looking so good I couldâve burst.
Finally, I lower myself against her, feeling the slick of her cunt press against mine.Â
âOhhh shiiit,â Paige groans, watching our cores grinding against each other. I whimper, pressing on her lower abdomen to find just the right angle.Â
âOh,â I whine, feeling her pressing against my clit just right, my body immediately trembling, still sensitive from my previous orgasm.
Paigeâs head lulls back at the same time, as she lets out a guttural groan, gripping my ass and forcing me to start moving my hips.
I do so, slowly, drawing it out for her - just the way Paige loved and simultaneously hated. Her breathing was getting heavier as she watched me. âJust like that,â she whimpers, trying to keep herself together. It never lasted for long.
I moan, grinding my cunt into hers, watching her face scrunch up in pleasure. Her hands snake around me, unclasping my bra with ease, letting my tits fall out as she groans.Â
âLook so fucking good for me,â she murmurs, a slight whine in her voice as she leans forward, her mouth attaching itself to my nipple, tongue circling it as i ride her faster, mind spinning once more. âSuch a bitch huh who knew youâd be so good for me,â Paige whines and I grip her shoulders, steadying myself, letting my nails dig into her skin as she hisses.
âYouâre the bitch,â I whimper breathlessly, letting out a gasp when she bites my nipple. Paigeâs hand are digging into the skin of my ass, forcing me to move faster, her hips bucking into me. She chuckles, breathing heavily, head falling back against the bed frame. âShut the fuck up and ride me ma,â she hisses, gripping my jaw and forcing my gaze to lock on her face.
I hiss, furrowing my brows as i look down at her, moving my hips desperately, our cunts grinding together harshly, igniting that familiar burn inside me.
âPisses me off, pretending you don't want me. Pretending you donât want me to fuck you, itâs bullshit,â Paige groans, fighting back her own orgasm now. Her voice shook and the muscles in her abdomen were contracting as she looked up at me. âLook at you now riding my shit, being a slut for me,â she rambles on. âYouâre my slut ma,â Paige moans bucking her hips into mine, eyes fluttering shut from pleasure.
My nails dig into her skin harder, my whole body trembling. I was close, and her words only made me ride harder, grind against her faster, the slickness of her cunt making me wetter. Paigeâs hand squeezed my jaw, forcing my eyes open.
âTell me.. Shit- tell me youâre my slut,â Paige whines. Sheâs desperate for it, barely aware of the words coming out of her mouth. I can tell she's close
âMmph, P-â I moan, my cunt throbbing.
âAw shit- I- Tell me,â
âFuck I am, Iâm your slut P, please,â I mewl, my eyes growing wet as they shut.
âThatâs right ma, fuck- ride me so good youâre gonna make me come,â Paige murmurs out inbetween moans, hands gripping my jaw and ass so tight Iâm nearly bruising underneath her grip.
My whole body shook and I cried out, barely able to keep grinding my cunt into hers, her clit pressing against mine. But when I heard the moan that slipped from her lips, and felt her mouth attach to my neck, I knew Iâd do anything to get her to fall apart beneath me.
âP- Iâm-â I cry out but she interrupts me.
âMe too baby, shit- ride me so- aw fuck- fucking good,â Paige rambles on, barely able to form sentences as she moves underneath me, the friction growing unbearable between us as she lets out a guttural moan, her body coiling underneath me.Â
âFuck-â Paige finally moans.
Thatâs enough to get me there too, coming against her cunt, fingernails leaving marks on her shoulders as I kept grinding my hips, movements turning sloppy as i whimpered on top of her, riding down waves of pleasure.
My body trembles, eyes still closed when I feel Paigeâs hands wrapping around my body and pulling me down. My naked body presses against her skin as she soothingly rubs my back, nuzzling her nose into my hair.
I sigh, listening to her trying to catch her breath. After a while, she breaks the silence.
âMeant it when I said I missed you,â she murmurs into my ear, still out of breath. I bury my head into the crook of her neck, brushing her hair gently. It was moments like these that got me confused. You didnât do this just for someone you fucked. Except Paige did.
âDonât like fightin' you,â she whispers, pressing a kiss on my temple. I feel my heart fluttering in a way I didnât want it to. But Iâm too tired to fight it. I press a kiss on her jaw, gently and pull my head back to meet her gaze. She looks completely fucked out, mascara smudged under tired eyes. Her hand reaches up to brush a strand of hair off my face before she leans over and kisses my forehead, as tenderly as humanly possible. Maybe this was her trying to show me I was in fact different, that she was done with the other girls. She just wanted me.Â
âDonât like fighting you either,â I whisper, resting my chin on her chest. Paigeâs eyes are filled with relief, as she smiles weakly.Â
âIâmma get us some water, okay ma?â Paige hums and I nod, letting her crawl out of bed from underneath me. I watch the blonde pull her clothes back on and turn to me, smiling affectionately. She leans down and presses another kiss on my temple, smoothing over the blanket to make sure I was comfortable. âJust a sec,â she whispers before walking into the kitchen. Surely you donât do that just for a girl you fuck. Thereâs no way you look at someone like that and proceed to sleep around with other people. My heart flutters as I let my mind wander, finding myself fantasising of getting to call Paige mine. All mine.
Just then I heard Paigeâs phone buzzing on the bedside table. Without my better judgement, I reach over, seeing countless missed calls and messages from a girl, asking where she was and when sheâd be over. My heart sinks, the reality quickly bringing me back down from my daydreams. Paige wasnât here because I was special. No. She was here because I was whipped, and she knew it. And I had given her every single thing she wanted.Â

Probably no one will read this, but I hope someone will. To my fellow Americans, it is absolutely fair to cut people off for beliefs you disagree with and may one day lead to you suffering harm, but if you have someone you love with these beliefs that you are thinking about cutting out of your life, please consider a few things first.
1. We are living in echo chambers, repeating our beliefs back at us. If we don't interact with people who believe differently, how are they ever going to hear a different perspective that is not completely twisted by the media they consume?
2. They often don't understand what they are asking for. There is a sizeable minority (1/3 of Americans per the NYT) that do not know Obamacare and the Affordable Care Act (ACA) are the same thing. They want to repeal Obamacare but keep the ACA. People want tariffs not realizing that they aren't the same as sanctions. They don't realize that China is not going to be paying the tariffs, they will. China is not going to eat the costs of the taxes (tariffs) levied against them for exporting to the US, China will just raise the prices of their goods and probably levy tariffs against US exports to China in retaliation like they did during Trump's last term, resulting in everything getting more expensive. It it pretty striking to look at the education demographics of who voted what party.
3. They don't get the whole story. There was an immigration bill that would give the Republicans basically everything they wanted in regard to the border. Trump killed it because he wanted immigration to remain an issue for him to run on. My dad, who listens exclusively to right wing media, heard nothing about it. He was shocked it didn't pass when he was told. When he hears about Palestinians, he only hears about them referred to as terrorists and Hamas, attacking Israel unprovoked. He has never heard about the Nakbas or about how terrible the conditions were in Gaza even prior to October 7th.
4. A scary amount of Americans have no damn clue how the US government works. They think, abortion protections were repealed under democrats, so it's their fault despite the extensive groundwork laid by Republicans ever since Roe v Wade was initially decided in the 1970s culminating in a Republican supermajority on the Supreme court that actually overturned the ruling. They think, why am I paying taxes to forgive someone else's student debt when I didn't go to college/payed off my college loans/worked my butt off for scholarships/made sacrifices so I could afford college/etc, not realizing that the debt forgiveness is really just making sure the programs that were already in place are actually implemented instead of allowing the loan servicers to continue milking these people for cash long after their debt should have been forgiven. They think the economy and how good/bad it's doing is solely up to the President despite the fact that the purse strings are held by Congress and the Federal Reserve, which controls interest rates, is an independent body not controlled by the President.
5. For the immigrants, they don't realize that all immigrants are persona non grata, not just people who came to the US illegally. My immigrant mother told me she votes for Trump because he's "gonna stop all the immigrants who are coming to take our jobs", not realizing that despite her naturalized citizenship, she will always be seen as one of those immigrants she talks about. She doesn't realize when he talks about chain migration, he's talking about the system she took advantage of to bring multiple members of her family to the US and allowed them much better quality of life than the relatives still in her home country. She thinks, because she lives in a large urban coastal area, that all parts of the US are just as accepting.
If you have a loved one with whom your only problem is politics (not abuse of any kind, but someone you love and care for), please consider staying in their lives. I am not saying make friends with people to try and change their beliefs, I am saying give your loved one a face to put to the "radical libs".
when people are like âoh so youâre just gonna judge someone for their political beliefs?â yes actually. I think someoneâs values and opinions is a pretty reasonable thing to judge them for.

Love & Lullabies | Teaser
Pairing: Min Yoongi x female Reader
Summary: What begins as a simple favor for your best friend Namjoon soon pulls you into the rhythms of Yoongiâs lifeâafternoons spent caring for his son, late nights filled with candid conversations, and a connection neither of you thought you needed. Youâre fresh out of a long-term relationship with an ex who didnât want a family with you, so did you really just stumble into a life youâve always dreamed of? (Thank god Namjoon isnât the only one whoâs clumsy.)
Alternatively: Itâs 2025 and BTS is prepping for their comeback. All members seem to have gained muscle weight from their time at camp. But Min Yoongi has gained a different kind of weightâan 8-pound baby and a fuck-load of responsibility.
Genre: Fluff, Angst, Smut (tbd), idol!au, Acquaintances to Lovers, Reader is Namjoonâs bestie
Warnings: Yoongi is a DILF (!!!), Mild cursing
Word count: 800-ish for this teaser
Posting date: November 7, 2024
Notes: This is for my friends and moots in the US. Please stay strong. One day at a time, my loves. Futureâs gonna be okay đ This story is inspired by @yoongznme 's ask/prompt. Thank you for requesting!
Taglist is OPEN. Leave a comment here to be notified when the story drops.
Masterlist
Namjoon leans back in his seat, sporting an all-too-familiar, slightly conspiratorial glint in his eyes. Hmm. You know that look.Â
It's the same one he had when he "casually" set you up to tutor one of his trainee friends in Englishâthe one you let slip was kinda cute. Or when he signed you up to perform with one of his rapper friends in that underground club in Hongdae. Sure, you knew every word of the chorus to eminemâs Stan, but you were not a fucking singer.Â
You still did it, though. Both times.Â
Namjoonâs especially notorious for volunteering you to do things he insists are "right up your alley." Thereâs a fire in his eyes when he starts talking about one of his ideas, and before you know it, you're swept up in his vision, already picturing yourself right there beside him, doing something youâd never consider on your own.
Namjoon has been your best friend since forever and for reasons you canât explain, saying no to him has always been impossible.
Right. Itâs definitely that. Itâs definitely not because in those two prior instances mentioned, both friends of his are actually the same guy. The one you had an almost crippling crush on over a decade ago. (Youâre sooo over it, though. Trust.)
When Namjoon finally leaned in, you were already bracing yourself.
âSo, you know Yoongi, right?â
You blink, pause, and slowly shake your head. It has taken years, but today is the day you tell him, âNo.â
âThe fuck? What do you mean no?â He replies, already looking hella amused. âI havenât even said anything.â
Your face feels like a furnace, but you grit and steady your voice. âWhatever it is, the answer is no.â
He lets out a hum, shifting in his seat, and you get the sense heâs working up to something.Â
You sip your coffee, keeping your eyes on him. He gives you an exaggerated shrug, dimples deepening as he lets his shoulder sag.Â
God youâre literally already about to break.Â
âFuck. Joon. Spit it out.â
He nods triumphantly, âOk, thereâs something I thought Iâd run by you first, before he hears about it.â
The words hang in the air, and you raise an eyebrow. âWhat are you getting me into?â
Namjoon chuckles softly as he folds his hands on the table. âSo⌠Yoongi has a son. A baby, actually.â He pauses, watching for your reaction.Â
What? Someone has fuckboi Min Yoongi all locked down?! Huh. You never saw that coming.
You let that sink in, surprise filling the quiet space between you. âI⌠didnât know he had a kid.â
âNot many people do,â Namjoon admits. âOnly those close to him know. Yoongiâs an incredible dad, but his caretaker recently left, and now heâs scrambling to balance his schedule and take care of his son.â
âAnd his wife?â
Namjoon sighs, gives you a look that means heâs about to say something confidential. âThereâs no wife.â
âBaby mama?â
âOut of the picture.â
You let out a small breath, absorbing everything you just heard. You already had an idea of where this is leading up to, but you want it said explicitly. âSo what exactly are you telling me here?â
Namjoon nods, eyes hopeful. âLook, I know this is a big ask. Iâm putting this out there because youâre one of the best with kids I know. And Yoongiâwell, heâs pretty wary about letting new people get close to his son.â
You take another sip of your latte as he prattles on.
âWhile youâre still getting your bearings back, maybe you could take over the caretaker job, even part time?â
Namjoon scratches the back of his neck, grinning sheepishly as he says your name. âI just thought you might consider it. Youâd be doing us both a favor. Yoongi really needs help, and Iâd trust you more than anyone with this.â
You sit back, letting Namjoonâs words settle. He knows exactly what heâs askingâknows exactly how hard it is for you to refuse when he gives you that puppy dog look, and then heâs throwing Yoongi into the mix. Honestly, you hate how you're apparently still soft for him even after all these years.
Namjoon also knows your current situation. Does he not realize itâs a bit unfair to ask this of you right now? Not when you're still picking up the pieces after your breakup with your long-term boyfriend. Not when you need time to heal. Not when you literally uprooted your life and just moved back to Seoul a month ago.
But somehow, you canât shake the curiosity. What would it even be like to see Yoongi as a dad? To get a glimpse of this whole other life heâs got now?
Itâs probably a terrible idea.Â
Yeah, no. You donât need this right now. Money isnât tight. And you need to focus onâŚÂ
You take a slow breath, mentally tracing the edges of this mess. There are a hundred reasons to say no, and only one reason youâd even consider saying yes. And because itâs for Yoongi⌠damn, maybe just one reason's enough.
Notes: So, what do we think? I'm genuinely excited to share my new baby with you guys! Let's go, let's go!

I've been griping about the normalization of identity outing via social media for a while now. To put it simply, it's become almost some weird societal requirement that if you don't have every detail listed about yourself in your Twitter/FB/etc. bio, then it means you have "something to hide" or that you're not as "verifiable" because your account looks indistinct from that of a bot.
But that societal norm has really only benefited the people who profit off of that information in some way, whether it's through selling user data or through weaponizing details about a person against them.
I know that a lot of us love to use the fun little labels and acronyms in our bio that help others like us identify us as a 'safe person' or as someone who's in the same social/racial/identity groups as them. We're humans, we love to categorize things, it's in our nature (and it's fun!)
But if there's any time to start regulating that habit and challenging the norm that you're obligated to include all your personal info online - it's now.
There was a time when sock puppet accounts were expected and typical, not "suspicious".
There was a time when even age-sex-location was considered "too much information", but once it became the norm, we only EVER gave our personal information beyond generic ASL to people who we knew both online and in real life, or at the very least, people who we had known online for a significant enough amount of time that they had proved to be trustworthy (and even then, we didn't owe that information to anyone, ever; there are forum friends who I made online 10+ years ago and still talk to who do not know my personal information beyond broad strokes).
There was a time when simply being an avatar with a funny username was enough. And it still is enough, but massive platforms like Facebook and Twitter have been brainwashing us for years to believe that's not the case, under the guise of, "You wouldn't want to be dishonest, would you?" Through these same norms, we were led to believe that anime profile pictures are cringe, that having a fake online name is stupid, that the photos of you having fun at social events have to be taken JUST right otherwise you might imply to others that you're not actually having fun.
And considering how long these platforms have been around now, we have entire generations of children now who have been born and raised on that version of the ZuckMusk web, who have been taught that it "protects them" to express to everyone publicly their age, their school, their workplace, their family members, everything about themselves, because to not do so would be disingenuous.
None of this is to imply that the Internet was "safer" back in the day. I definitely should not have been on the Internet as much as I was when I was 13 in the late 2000's, it definitely did not benefit my brain development or my social skills. But the version of the Internet we currently exist in now is one that's been predicated on the false sense of security - the belief that if you're honest, everyone else has to be, too.
We've always had ways of identifying our safe people - by participating in the communities that we know are designed around our hobbies, our interests, our people. They might be small, they might not be as "cool" as the idea of netting yourself a big following of thousands of people, but they're also a lot safer and more genuine than that idealized following ever could be.
Don't feel pressured to include every bit of information about yourself in your bio. Even on Facebook, there's no rule that says you have to list your workplace, your school, your family members. There's no rule that says you have to list your personality type, queer labels, and neurodivergent disorders in your Twitter bio. There's no rule that you have to "prove" your life is real and fulfilled through the verification of photos, location tagging, and open-book sharing. If you share those photos, it should be because you genuinely want to share them, not because you feel some societal pressure to live up to others' expectations.
And I guarantee you, even your local mutuals on Facebook - your former classmates, family friends, distant relatives, coworkers, etc. - do not actually give that much of a damn about your personal life that they should be owed that much of a look into it on a daily basis. They've got their own shit going on, they literally do not need to know every detail about you.
I know it sounds scary. It also sounds kind of boring, when we've been used to a certain "way" of browsing and participating for years, that if we don't do so, it feels like being in the "out group" and that we're "breaking the rules". But I promise you, after spending over half my life online, those rules do not exist or benefit anyone who wouldn't profit off that information.
If you're wanting to learn how to branch off from major platforms like Facebook and Twitter and/or become more self-sufficient online, here are some guides to navigating the Internet like an old schooler that may help you!
FREE SITE BUILDER:
DIGITAL PIRACY 101:
(also in addition to everything mentioned here ^^^ they neglect to also mention Tor Browser which is a light and free-to-use browser software that allows you to browse anonymously; note that it's similar to a VPN in that it helps hide your identity online, HOWEVER it won't mask you from your ISP quite as effectively as a VPN, and if you sign into personal accounts with Tor, that's still going to obviously out you online lmao but I love using Tor for the odd time when I need to make a sock puppet for something and don't want it linked to my IP! and unlike a VPN, it's free to use!)
LEARN HOW TO USE RSS FEEDS:
People still use these! They're especially helpful for getting updates from your favorite pages and sites directly to your browser WITHOUT having to worry about stupid algorithm bullshit picking and choosing what you see. And many sites DO have RSS support once you know how to find it! (like adding in /rss at the end of a URL! Like this!)
FAKE EMAIL SERVICES:
LEARN HOW TO CODE IN HTML/CSS/JAVASCRIPT (AND MORE!):
DECENTRALIZED SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS:
I hope this helps arm you with some new knowledge in how to navigate the Internet like a Certified Old Personâ˘ď¸(like meeee!) Make your secret alt blogs for besties! Make your formal Facebook accounts that are clean of personal information and present the most neutral, safe-for-work version of yourself and keep the fun stuff to the secret profiles and chat groups that are just for you and friends/family/etc!! It might be "inconvenient" to have multiple accounts for the same purpose, but it's also INCREDIBLY freeing and can make your online experience both safer and more enjoyable.
Being "less" of yourself online does not make you any less you. It is your identity - you do not owe any amount of it to anyone beyond yourself. And in times like these, your identity is your greatest asset. Protect it.
#how to#online safety tips#be safe on the internet y'all#oh and delete those period trackers#just get yourself an old school calendar / notebook for tracking#trust me on this one

People like to rag on Connecticut, but we are one of the states you should really be considering if you intend to move to a trans or abortion refuge state. Connecticut:
- has consistently elected Democratic governors since 2010
- has had a Democratic senate majority since 1994 and only came close to losing that control in 2016 (it was 18-18 but the lieutenant governor was a Democrat so we retained control)
- has had a Democratic house majority since 1987 and has come nowhere close to losing it
- has not given electors to a Republican candidate since 1988 and has had a fully Democratic congressional representation since 2013
- our congressional delegation includes Chris Murphy, who is probably the #1 advocate for gun control in the entirety of Congress. He was the CT-5 representative when Sandy Hook happened, which is the district Newtown is located in, and took Senate office a few weeks later. He just won reelection so we have him until at least 2030.
- was one of the first states to add comprehensive coverage of transgender-related care to state Medicaid starting in 2015 and covers this care on both the adult and child plans
- allows legal sex designation changes with just an affidavit from a physician affirming gender dysphoria related care, meaning you do not have to have necessarily had surgery or be on hormones to change your gender marker (since 2015), has a non-binary gender marker
- repealed sodomy laws in 1971, recognized same sex civil union in 2005 and same-sex marriage in 2008, codified same-sex marriage in 2009 (under a Republican governor I will note)
- added sexual orientation as a protected class in 1991 and gender identity and expression in 2011
- has banned both the gay panic defense and conversion therapy
- was the first state to codify abortion access in 1990 up to 24 weeks in all cases and beyond 24 weeks in cases of medical necessity
- does not require parental consent or notification for abortion, does not require a waiting period or counseling session prior to an abortion
- has literally within the last 24 hours announced that they will be launching a legal assistance hotline for abortion rights
- âmedically necessaryâ abortion covered by state Medicaid
- protects people who come from out of state and receive partial or total abortion care in Connecticut from investigation, prosecution, and extradition, will not cooperate with requests or subpoenas issued by other states for abortions that are legal under CT state law - 2021 HB 5414 was the first abortion sanctuary law in the nation
- has the third lowest violent crime rate in the country and the second lowest rate of sexual assault specifically
- ranks third for education
- ranks sixth on the International Human Development Index, comparable to Germany and Ireland, and second on the American HDI behind Massachusetts
- our cost of living is 13% higher than the national average, and likely higher in Fairfield County, but we are only 13th overall and 4th in New England. We rank fifth for overall highest tax burden. This seems like a negative, but itâs just an acknowledgement - safe blue states tend to have higher costs of living and higher tax rates. Anyone who knows how taxes work knows that this means youâre getting more services from your government in return. Thereâs a running joke here in CT that we have four seasons - fall, winter, spring, and road work - because of how heavily our state invests in infrastructure. This is a trade you will have to be prepared to make if you move to any trans refuge state. Weâre still more affordable than the âgo-toâ blue states like California, New York, and Massachusetts.
Tl;dr, Connecticut is actually a fantastic state to live in, should you need to seek safety.
hello again (bill clinton limewire voice) my fellow americans
There are a few states that actually have Shield/Refuge laws designed to help trans people fleeing from trans-unsafe states, which also guarantee trans folks access to healthcare. These states are:
California
Colorado
Illinois
Oregon
Vermont
Washington
Minnesota
New Mexico
Maine
Massachusetts
Rhode Island
Connecticut
Washington D.C.
Additionally, some states have "trans sanctuary" executive orders signifying safety for trans folks seeking healthcare. These states are:
Maryland
New Jersey
New York
Living as a resident in these states means you are protected by state's rights and state government to continue or begin receiving trans healthcare. These laws have been codified in their states so everything has been a-ok'd by their state governments.
Stay alive. You got this. I love you.

pick a pile - what makes you beautiful? (detailed)
hello dear reader! let's take a look into what makes you so uniquely beautiful. breathe slowly, take your time and use your intuition to go with the pile that speaks to you the most. this is a very specific reading, so it's likely that not every message will speak to everyone. remember to take what resonates, and leave what doesn't. đŠâĄđŞ
â° pile 1 â°
so, this pile definitely gave me the biggest boss vibes. you have very strong energy, with so much major arcana in my spread. i can tell you are not someone to be messed with. (also kinda feel like you might parent or coddle the other piles lmao)
your beauty lies not only within your immense strength, but also in your ability to stand over situations which can appear very dark and difficult on the outside. i do believe you come with your own struggles, insecurities, doubts and fears which don't seem to always find their way to the surface; but you deal with them in such a graceful and impressive way. i can feel some people being in genuine awe of how you handle trials and tribulations. i do think you've been through certain things which have given you thicker skin. now, you know what you want and need in life, you're aware of your potential and what you can do, so even if a situation presents itself in which you find yourself in self-doubt, you believe in the power of hard work and consistency.
you don't seem like the type to dwell on your problems for too long or allow yourself to drown in self-pity, but moreso like a person who feels this desire to work on whatever troubles you. let's say if a situation presents itself to you, in which circumstances seem unfavourable; rather than complaining or remaining stuck in this hopeless place, you'll likely be the type to think about how you can change and work on your own attitude and mindset instead, in order to come out the other side in a stronger manner. you put a lot of importance into remaining confident and keeping a grip on your self-belief. since you see that as the best version of yourself. you appear to be very mature; even if your age is still young, you seem to have a wise soul and an impressingly reliable, as well as responsible nature. maybe you had to grow up quickly, you just give off this energy of someone who had to learn how to be responsible in life very early on.
considering i got both, the emperor and the empress for you, i think a lot of your beauty also lies in your duality. you're likely to have this balance of both feminine and masculine qualities inside of you. you seem to be the type of person who can be assertive, more self-centered and individualistic in some ways, like you do think it's important to focus on yourself in order to find fulfilment in this world. however this doesn't distinguish the compassionate heart you carry for other people. you're someone with an empathetic and kind nature, someone who wants to take care of the people you love.
you could make a very good parent, actually. i think you balance this sense of responsibility, dependability and solidity, with a nurturing heart, a soft and gentle core. you might be the case of someone with a hard shell but soft interior. i feel like you're the type to root for the underdog. someone who takes people under their wing, protects them from external influences. like you'd take a bullet for the people you cherish. (i do think you might be more selective in that aspect though, like you do have your boundaries straight, and wouldn't just throw your hand in the fire for anyone)
this is a random message i got; some of you also might be on the curvier side when it comes to your bodily built, and it makes you very very beautiful. like i can tell that some of pile 1's bodies are bangin! like yes sir or ma'am, go rock that bod with confidence!
another very beautiful thing about you; you do not fear getting your hands dirty. meaning, you're willing to put in the necessary hard work in life. like âif i have to personally run up this hill for several hours straight, then so be it, as long as i finally get to the top!â you aren't someone who will shy away from bearing burdens and heavy weights on your back, you understand the need to hustle in order to succeed. you can feel this need to improve yourself, put in the required effort to keep getting better at everything you do in life. not just for yourself, but also the people around you. you want to be a comfortable and stable figure in your loved one's lives.
i keep feeling like you're just this person people can lean on with no second thought; someone who will have their back no matter what. very loyal, dedicated and passionate energy within you. i'd personally love to be your friend, like i'd feel pretty lucky! i feel like you're the friend who keeps their promises, who's okay with running errands for others. you'd get things done for someone if they're unable to do so; like e.g. picking your friends up and driving them random places. maybe you're the friend at the party who holds themselves back from drinking in order to be the responsible one making sure everyone gets back home safely. you just seem to have this devotion to the ones you love, and wanting to make them feel safe, as well as cared for. you might also be a huge hype man in their lives, always cheering them on and lighting up any dark place they find themselves in. you have such bright and inspirational energy!
you carry this beautiful balance of; focusing on your own interests, ambitions, desires and goals, but also remaining considerate and caring towards the special people in your life.
â° pile 2 â°
oh my gawd, this pile is super cute. so, you immediately strike me as someone very independent and freedom-loving. you love to have your own space, and being able to just do whatever you want, whenever you want. i feel like you just have this very contagious and bright energy, where people might trust you to make the best out of every situation you're in. you seem like a big risk-taker, someone who doesn't fear the concept of change, and isn't afraid of starting all over again if you feel like that's necessary. you're so beautiful, in the way of just being down and ready to do things others might shy away from. you might be the person who will drag your friend out the dark and quiet room and tell them to get out, enjoy the beautiful sun on your skin, connect with mother nature, appreciate the smaller things in life and find happiness in them, because that's where true fulfilment lies. there is this very philosophical and poetic side to you. i keep feeling like you might have significant neptune/jupiter/mercury aspects.. i can just see you running through the blooming fields in this almost movie-like way. (random but do you like ghibli movies? you just give me ghibli character vibes, especially kiki's delivery service 𼚠i love that movie, it's so comforting)
you're beautiful in the way where.. you easily see beauty in the world. you seem so easily excitable, and count all the blessings you have in life. i feel like you're the type to find something positive in everything and everyone. random, but you might love photography, and taking pictures of almost everything around you, just because you can see art in anything or any place. you love exploring new places, new cultures, understanding and learning about people or things completely different to what you're used to. you might like to travel, because you enjoy this thought of getting insight into entirely new lifestyles. you're very open-minded.
you aren't worried about leaving toxic people or situations behind if you feel like they just keep you in a negative place. it's kinda giving been there done that. i think you consciously reject negativity now because you're not at that same place anymore, and especially don't want to be anymore. you're so overly protective of your peace now, because you had to deal with so many tribulations, and took so much on the chin from life in order to get to this place of inner peace. you don't allow anyone to take it away from you anymore.
you also don't seem afraid to completely transform. maybe you even enjoy transforming yourself physically, like you love reinventing yourself and can find your identity in things like your fashion. you enjoy expressing your unique nature in that way. i also just feel like you're such a pleasure to be around, people likely just enjoy your presence because it makes them feel like everything will be okay. did anyone ever tell you about how your presence is therapeutic to them? if not, some people might think that without openly expressing it.
i do think you can be very emotional too, which is another beautiful trait of yours. you might be the type to tear up rather easily, i think your interior is very squishy and sweet. you wear your heart on your sleeve in this beautiful and special way. you not being afraid to express your emotions (although sometimes they can just take over you unintentionally lmao dw i relate..) makes you so extraordinary, it gives you this unique light and glow. don't ever lose grip on this wonderful side of you. don't ever feel ashamed of it, and don't allow anyone to make you think you're anything but beautiful for your passion! i feel like you genuinely care about the world, and everything that it involves. your energy is just so pure and innocent in a way, even if you yourself don't see yourself that way. your intentions and heart read as very sweet.
in addition, your beauty lies in your ability to see opportunity of growth in whatever life throws at you. like pile 1, i do believe you have had to deal with your fair share of challenges in life, but this lead to you being able to see how.. even situations that might look awful from an outsiders perspective, can serve you as a learning lesson. âwhat doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.â
again, you're just so philosophical! i feel like we could just sit down together and discuss life for hours, in such a deep and intriguing manner. you seem to have a lot of understanding of the different complexities of life, just because you've experienced a lot of situations in which you had to adapt or adjust. so there's this natural know-how here, it's almost like you're not scared of life's upheavals anymore. you didn't let it discourage you at the time, so best believe it will not bring you down at this point in time. you're so youthful and almost childlike in spirit, but carry a deep sense of knowledge about life. like some other people might turn all bitter if they went through what you have been through, but you remained soft and sweet in this harsh world, which is such a beautiful trait to have! i sincerely applaud you, and hope you can never lose this truly wonderful spark inside of you.
â° pile 3 â°
oh, this pile seems so genuinely nice, but i can sense some struggle here too.. first of all, you read as a very humble and down to earth person. like i truly can't sense a single ounce of arrogance inside of you. you feel like you're an eternal student of life, continuously learning with every experience, and growing endlessly. you give off this energy of someone who's always so eager to expand your skills and knowledge on things. especially if you get hooked on something like a fun hobby, you're just so ambitious and approach the learning process with this modest, but determined attitude. you seem quite capable of dealing with constructive criticism, and take it as a way to further better yourself. like yes tell me what i did wrong, so i can improve. definitely a very hard-working and earnest energy within you.
you're so beautiful, because you live and lead with this sense of compassion and acceptance inside of you. you seem to have high emotional intelligence; as well as a lot of empathy for others. you're the type of person to.. hold this cup filled with love, in a crowd full of people fighting each other. while other people are overly competitive and at each other's throats to win over the other, you seem like the one who prefers seeing everyone as equally worthy of praise, equally lovable, equally deserving of respect. i truly don't see you enjoying to put yourself above others, simply because you don't see why you would want to. like i don't think you fully understand this need to argue and cause problems with others, it irks you.
you even might put other people's needs above yours almost naturally, it seems to come very easy to you. (did some of you grow up with a lot of siblings? i feel like there's this natural tendency to supress not only your own desires, but also your own emotions a lot.. i feel like you might've found yourself in plenty of situations where you needed to swallow your pride, bite your tongue, ignore your own emotions or grant others chances you yourself might've wanted.) you might be the type to politely hold the door open for people even though your arm hurts, offer the seat to the elderly even though you yourself are exhausted, allow your friend to grab the opportunity although you might need it just as much.
i do feel like you're quite peace-loving, and don't enjoy arguments at all. you seem excellent at approaching conflicts and problems in, not only this calm and collected manner, but also with this diplomatic and tender sense of understanding towards all parties. do you have any major libra placements? i can sense this beautifully non-judgemental energy in you, where you always seek harmony, no matter what situation you find yourself in. you also just seem balanced in general, and like not much can tick you off. some people might even ask you âhow are you always so calm?â although i feel like you can experience feelings quite intensely once they take over you (i feel like you might cry a lot when you're on your own..) you just don't enjoy openly displaying your emotions, and might have problems expressing them outwardly. again, i keep feeling like this likely stems from a deeply rooted place, maybe you've just naturally aquired this mechanism within you, where you shut off your emotions and internalize them a lot.
you might put a lot of thought into how others view you, might dislike the thought of anyone looking at you as overly dramatic. you also seem pretty perfectionistic, especially in closely managing the way you're perceived by people, or the way you treat people. you might often fear doing them wrong, or overstepping any boundaries. i can sense an avoidance of expressing or asserting yourself strongly again here, because you just don't want anyone to feel like you're doing too much. (i know this is a reading that focuses more on positives, but spirit is telling me this selflessness in you makes you immensely beautiful.. maybe you even have a lot of egocentric people around you, therefore your kindness just stands out even more. don't lose that sincere heart you have for others, however; you need to listen to what you yourself want more as well <3 learn to balance these two sides in you out, because if not, others might take advantage of you)
i do think though, that a lot of this calmness might be a result of your maturity. it's interesting because on the one hand you can feel like the young student who still believes they have so much to learn from life, but at the same time, you do have a lot of valuable advice to give to people, just because you might relate to a lot of the things others go through. you seem amazing at putting yourself in someone else's shoes, i can feel people thinking you're a great listener.
i just feel like your unique beauty lies in this gentle, pleasant and mild energy you bring to the table. you'd be the type of person i could tell my deepest darkest secrets to comfortably, and i feel like you wouldn't mutter a word to anybody. like your friends probably can tell you the wildest sht they've done, without any embarrassment. or call you at any given moment, and you'd be there to listen to their angry rants or rages, and just take it all in quietly.

THE SLEEPOVER Ë . Ýđđ. Ýâ
summary; during a lovely sleepover with your best friend sarah cameron, you admit to never once having orgasmed before, the confession makes your best friend feel ever so guilty, she feels simply obligated to show her innocent best friend how to please herself right now.
content; pillow humping, fingering, guided masturbation, innocent!reader
this evening has been ever so lovely, just like every evening on which youâve slept over at your best friend sarahâs house. youâre always taken care of so well there.Â
right now youâre sitting up on her bed with her, all tucked in while you both watch some neon pink 2000s chick flick on the tv. although not much attention is being paid, youâre both too absorbed in a happy conversation.Â
youâre all about oversharing with sarah, you do it all the time. sheâs does it with you too, in fact sheâs doing it right now, going off on a rant about some stupid guy who tried to come on to her at the country club.Â
âand I considered it just for the sex, yâknow, because I havenât had a good orgasm in weeks,â she stresses the last word with wide eyes, leaning a little closer to you before continuing, âbut I decided I couldnât be bothered to deal with him. I can just make myself feel good after all.âÂ
you tilt your head, nodding along, âthat makes sense.â of course you have not a clue about it. youâve never had sex, or even pleasured yourself for that matter. it has just never been something that had occurred to you to do. âdo you.. do that a lot?â you ask, you know she wonât be opposed to it.Â
ânot more than itâs normal to,â she shrugs, leaning back, âI mean you do it right?â her question is intended to be pretty rhetorical but she notices immediately when you react unexpectedly.Â
you look down, âI donâtâ I- I havenât..â self consciousness washes over you for a second. even though you know that itâs not oversharing in her eyes, itâs still a little embarrassing to admit.Â
she looks shocked to say the least, her mouth falling slightly open before she can stop herself and regulate her reaction. âlike.. never?âÂ
you shake your head, âno⌠donât know how even if I tried.âÂ
that sentence seems to make her think, her eyebrows furrow for a second before she shakes her head, not accepting your statement, âno. no no no. you canât.. not know. youâre missing out.. I mean.. how do you even feel good? no. Iâll just have to teach you.â
that is the conversation that leads you into the most vulnerable position youâve been in for a long time. sitting up, leaning back on your arms, legs spread open over a pillow, your nightgown pulled up to reveal your glossy folds.Â
âoh you need it,â sarah coos, sheâs bent down so that her face is level with your pussy. âgive me your hand,â she speaks gently, reaching out to take it. she pulls it down and guides you to touch yourself.Â
your fingers are cold, having been out in the air conditioned open. it proves quite a shock when two of them collide with the small bundle of nerves you know to be your clitoris.Â
you let out a whimper of confused emotion, mostly pleasure, mixed with some unsureness and maybe a little bit of curiosity too. youâd felt pleasure before, and of course youâd had that small need for pressure in this area before. but actually feeling that pressure, itâs overwhelming.Â
you notice that sheâs guiding your fingers in small circles in time with the pulsing of your nerves. her free hand climbs up to touch your hole before sliding two fingers in and moving them in a rhythmic pace with the circles. creating the perfect mixture of feelings to make you feel amazing.Â
you both keep it up for many minutes. your hips are bucking and moving involuntarily as the sensation becomes more intense. the pressure gets stronger and you start to feel a sort of knot forming in your stomach.Â
at some point sheâd let go of your fingers to let you rub yourself independently, like how a parent lets go of the back of their childâs bike when they become confident they can ride by themselves.Â
âoh! mâgonnaââ you can barely make up words as the pleasure overwhelms you. your breathing is all ragged and shaky, âsarah⌠gonna cum.â you cry out, movement speeding up frantically before the feeling of bliss finally washes over you.
it's such a new feeling, and yet so primal, like it's rooted into you. you could tell when it was coming and now you lean into it and experience like you already had one hundred times. you throw your head back and moan loudly, completely disregarding the fact that you and sarah are not the only people in this house.
sarah is looking up at you with a grin on her face. she's still touching you, helping you through and letting you savour the feeling for as long as you possibly can. she has a proud little twinkle in her eyes, she's so happy that she's been able to help her best friend feel such a good feeling for the first time, she realises she wouldn't have wanted it to be at the hands of anybody else.Â
she waits for you to come down and once you do she swoops in, leaning forward to pull your tired out body against hers, âyou did so well,â she kisses you cheek in a gentle, affectionate manner. âwere gonna get cleaned up now, yeah? then we can rewind that movie.â

it is so important to me that within the very last scene Monty appears, he is spoken to with kindness. and by Charles, of all people.
because the only person that Monty seems to have regularly known is Esther, and she treats him with anything but kindness. it's very safe to assume that Monty has presumably spent the vast majority of his life being berated, attacked and neglected by her. there has never been a moment that showed Monty receiving any sort of gentleness or tenderness from her. when Esther does compliment him, it's only to do with how good-looking she made him as a human. and that's her own handiwork. Monty himself is never praised, never acknowledged, never seen for any of his own efforts to assist her. yet, she was quick to both see and act the second he messed up, and not even through fault of his own.
it's so incredibly touching that Monty is finally praised for his own actions when we part ways with him. and by the very person he dislikes so much. Monty bitterly resents Charles. he's not shy about it. Charles is not unaware of it. he isn't all that fond of Monty himself. and yet, Charles is the one to end things on a positive note. it should be ironic, but it isn't at all. it makes complete sense.
of course it's Charles that Monty shares this final moment of his with. Charles is not an idiot, so i'm certain he could somewhat tell that Monty is a victim of abuse. the victim of an abusive parent-like figure, no less. just like him. Charles is rightly furious at what Monty has done, but how could he truly hate him? when he knows full well what it's like to be so scared of the person who's meant to look after you? when he knows full well that horrible feeling of being trapped without any escape in sight? Charles has also experienced being treat in a disgusting, violent manner for no reason at all. he may not have been serving an impossible-to-please witch like Monty is, but no matter how athletic, hard-working or friendly he was, Charles could never escape his father's terrifying anger, all efforts of his rendered futile.
it's interesting that Charles doesn't seem all that shocked in this moment, to see Monty act against Esther. he's glad, but i don't reckon his expression is one of surprise? it's almost as if Charles already had some sort of faith in Monty, even though the crow has given him absolutely no reason to trust him, quite the opposite. but maybe that's not so strange. Monty is like Charles. Charles is the person who outright said that he's desperate for people like him to be right, to be good. we saw how devastated he was when Brad and Hunter were not.
so, these words from Charles must have mattered to Monty greatly. people who are abused, especially by those who are meant to look after them, such as their parents, can often be led to believe that their abuser's actions are somehow "justified," even if it's not a thought they're fully conscious of. Monty isn't entirely naĂŻve, at least outwardly. he clearly isn't under the impression that Esther actually cares for him, considering how bitterly he speaks to her. but deep down, there must be a reason he still stays with Esther, because he isn't restrained physically. Monty's cage is unlocked, he's "free" to fly around as he pleases, even shown to go outside at one point. he doesn't fly away from her, though. and that may be because he unconsciously feels that he owes Esther his complete loyalty.
but this moment could have changed that. if Charles, who Monty doesn't like and isn't liked by in return, who Monty was impolite and passive-aggressive to can speak to him kindly - what right does Esther, who Monty tries to be helpful to, have to treat him with such cruelty? what right does she have to scream at him, to grab him, to mutilate him? when he's done nothing but be her loyal familiar, having only committed the sin of feeling too much for her liking, human feelings that she forced upon him?
this scene is towards the end of the show for us. but for Monty, maybe it's a turning point in his life.

You know you are living in a Dystopian world when the Government starts cracking down on FANFICTION.
Yes, I am Canadian, but as someone who considers themselves to be a Sex positive enthusiast, Iâm so beyond Enraged and Disgusted over the âpolicyâsâ that these Corrupt-âChristianâ politicians are trying to implement.
teaching, no sorry ENFORCING Abstinence-Education, aka âwait until marriageâ DOES NOT WORK, unless you actively believe in that practice!
These @$$hatâs claim they are trying to protect the people- BULLSH!T.đ¤Ź
By implementing such a dangerous system, and shaming those who so dare to go against the standard system-
By not teaching these kids consent, or how body parts work, or what you can do to protect yourself from people, both men and woman, who may want to take advantage of you-
You as the âeducatorsâ are setting up the stats to SKYROCKET for Young teens to bare the traumatic cross of Early teen pregnancies, Sexual Violence, etc!
And Further more- call me Delusional, but Having access to Porn ,(* Ethically sourced and in doeses that donât overtake your public life, may I emphasize,) IS ACTUALLY HEALTHY!! Stuff like Smut Fiction allows for young people who may be figuring out their sexualities a SAFE SPACE to explore. It can prove to be a great tool in helping people to create the pathways, boundaries of what they like and what they donât like.
Itâs ESPECIALLY important, because down the road, assuming you donât practice abstinence, you and your partner are going to have to have a very open and honest conversation about BOUNDARIES when it comes time to taking that next step in the bedroom. Again, if thatâs what you choose.
God, Iâm sorryâŚ. But I am just SO furious with whatâs been unfolding before my eyes, so much for âThe land of the freeâ. đ¤Ź
To all my American friends who are in distress over the recent election. To all my trans Friends, Gay/LGBTQ+ friends, friends of Colour, different race, and of all marginalized communities. I am so f*cking sorry. I cried an endless river when I saw the results of the election⌠Iâm not shocked. Just angered and ashamed. Ashamed at how much hate has overtaken our world. Just because we are all trying to coexist. I donât think Harris would have been a godsend to America by any means. But she would have been a far better fate then what we who fought so hard to get to where we are now are having to face. This shouldnât be happening to you guys. And I fear my country may not be too far behind in these deranged ideologies taking over our governments.
But please know you are not alone.đŤđŤ whatever you do, DO NOT GIVE UP. Do not end it here. You are proof that love still exists on this planet. All of standing here, today, for all those who sacrificed our own lives to give us the life they so desperately wanted all of us to have. We are now the resistance. We are the next bearers of that torch. Grieve, process your feelings, reach out to friends and building yourself a support system. Do whatever you need to do in order to survive.
Yesterday. We grieve. Today? We Organize.
We stand our Ground, and make a vow to keep on going. Excruciating times are heading our way. But weâve faced it before, and this community has come out stronger every single time.
Weâve been here long since before the creation of the Bible- and we will NEVER go away.
We will fight to protect our God-given right to exist here, on earth. Not out of hatred. But out of Spite, and out of LOVE.đłď¸â����đłď¸ââ§ď¸â¨âžď¸âđť Because love will always win.
đŤđŤđŤ everyone please stay safe out there. Iâd like to end this ridiculously long rant by stating that my tumblr page is a Safe space for Woman, For Trans/LGBTQ+ individuals, and for people of all races, colours and minority groups. I love you all.â¨
If any one of my posts is to break containment, make it this one.
Before January 2025, download your favorite fics, especially those with smut or queer content.
If Project 2025 goes into effect (which it very likely will now that we have three red branches of government in the US), they may attempt to restrict the use/sharing of media on sites like ao3.
This particularly applies to fics with smut or any type of queer content, because the official Project 2025 document states, "Pornography, manifested today in the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology and sexualization of children, for instance... has no claim to First Amendment protection... Pornography should be outlawed."
Now, I don't expect ao3 to disappear or go anywhere without a fight, but it's best to be on the safe side these days.
To download your favorite fics:
Go to archiveofourown.org and open the fic you want to download.
At the top right corner, to the right of the 'subscribe' button, is a button that says 'download'. Click it.
A drop-down menu will give you the option to choose the format of your download. Choose your preferred format (.epub and .pdf are my personal favorites -- .epub lets you open a fic in the apple books app and .pdf is compatible with like every device and program out there).
When you click the button for your preferred format, a pop-up window appears confirming your choices. The title of the document will default to the title of the fic, so be aware of that and consider changing conspicuous titles to something ignorable, especially if you share the computer.
You're done! Now do this with all your favorite fics!
Stay safe out there, your favorite characters are rooting for you <3

Make A Move (Pt. 3)
americanfootballplayer!Sukuna x fem!reader
genre: slow-burn romance, college au, fluff, angst
warnings: none so far
word count: 3k
(-> Pt. 1) (-> Pt. 2) (-> masterlist)
A small gift bag in your hand, you're currently on your way to the football field. You figured it would only be fair to thank Sukuna for his help last thursday. All of your classes were over for the day and after your talk with Utahime - you had a lot of explaining to do after all - you found out that the team had training in this exact period.
Because Utahime is a senior tutoring juniors occasionally - as she had the best score in the mathematics exam last year - she knows about their schedule through a guy named Aoi Todo, who is also in the football team and simultaneously one of those juniors she tutors. You don't know how she keeps up with her own studies, considering she has that minijob at the hotel AND is a tutor on top of that. But she had always been a very determined woman and luckily, she only tutors every few weeks.
When you arrived, the team was just getting ready to start. You looked around the area to find that distinct pink haired guy you were here for and when you thought you had found him, he turned around and didn't have those typical tattoos on his face. You were utterly confused to say the least, when all of a sudden you heard a deep voice from behind you.
"Looking for me in your free time?"
You turned around and Sukuna gave you a smug look.
"Actually, yeah." you admitted and his face turned into a stunned one. He didn't expect you to be so blunt about it.
"I just came to give you that." you added and reached him the small bag.
"What's that?" he asked, mustering it before reluctantly taking it into his hands.
"Just a small thank you for last time." you crossed your arms behind your back and looked up at him, a genuine smile adorning your face. At this sight, he gulped. He examined the gift closely, slowly removing its content. He couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the chocolate in form of a football, his mind went blank.
"You got this for me?" he quizzed, taken aback by the kind gesture. You couldn't help but chuckle, a small bluff following.
"No, I actually got it for the other pink haired boy over there." And with that, you turned around and pointed at the man you had mistaken for Sukuna a few moments ago.
"'The other pink haired boy?'" he repeated with an amused grin. "Don't tell me you don't know him."
You shook your head.
"I don't. Why would I?" you doubted to which he responded in disbelief.
"Because he's one of the best players of our team?"
"I don't really concern myself with football or who plays it." you confided to him, causing Sukuna to drop his jaw in a state of shock before closing his mouth again in a moment of realization.
"You knew who I was though." he then stated.
"Yes, because you're a well-known womanizer." you rolled your eyes. He just laughed.
"If I am, then why aren't you all over me?"
"I'm resistant to boys like you." you shrugged your shoulders.
"Really? How are 'boys like me'?"
"Let me think." you pretended to be serious, getting into the thinker pose. "Arrogant, insufferable, boring, nasty..." he nodded at every word, occasionally raising his brows amusedly but letting you speak. Sukuna couldn't hide his entertainment, you were truly something else.
"You think so?" He came closer. "Then why did you give me the chocolate? You sure you're not crazy about me, sweet thing?" he smirked and that startled you for a moment, but you composed yourself again.
"Don't flatter yourself. You know it's not like that."
"A man can dream." he sighed and held up his hands in retreat, eyes closed. Once again, you felt your face heating up, when suddenly some of the players on the field headed your way.
"Yo, Sukuna! Hurry up, before you're late again!" someone screamed while coming up to the two of you.
"What do you mean again? I'm never late for training!" Sukuna hissed at him. Then the guy was already next to you, though on the other side of the fence.
"And what happened on thursday?" he asked him to which Sukuna kept silent. Your mind went to work, catching onto his words.
"What happened on thursday?" was your next question, curious because on that day, Sukuna helped you out.
Then another guy followed after the first, answering your question. It was the one that looked so similar to Sukuna.
"He was one hour late to our meeting, delaying the bus drive and our whole timetable and all!" The kind looking boy unfolded and now that he was closer to you, he looked like a boyish version of Sukuna, who was rather mature in contrast. His words left you speechless though, Sukuna prioritized your safety over football? You couldn't believe your ears.
"Yeah yeah yeah, and now I'm never hearing the end of it." Sukuna complained while the others laughed at him.
"Deserved." The black haired one said.
Then Sukuna took the opportunity to introduce you to each other, exposing the one with the black hair as Todo and the other one as Yuji. The two seemed to be extremely surprised at Sukuna's action for whatever reason, stammering sceptically while greeting you.
But that was not what caught you off guard, it was the way your name rolled off Sukuna's tongue. Now that you heard it slipping from his lips, you noticed you don't reckon telling him your name, so how did he know? You instantly glanced at him and when you did, he already met your gaze, a knowing smirk on his face.
"Anyways, hurry now or we're starting without you!" the two boys exclaimed to which he responded with a simple "I'm coming, dammit!", walking after them while all three of them grinned.
And with that, the athletes said their goodbyes. You returned, leaving slowly but surely. Sukuna, though, halted for a split second, calling out your name once more. He was definitely doing this on purpose.
"Hey! We're not done with that conversation!" he shouted and you inwardly agreed, wanting to confront him about the new found information that was revealed to you.
"Is that a threat?" you screamed back and he beamed at you.
"It's a promise!"
And then he turned around, running after his teammates. You couldn't help but start growing a wide smile yourself.
In the distance, you could see them teasing Sukuna about something, but you couldn't catch their voices.
It was the next day and you were sitting in your linguistics class that was about to start in a few minutes, busy reading through the endless pages of text you were supposed to read at home. Thankfully, your lecturer was not there yet, but you still cursed yourself for not starting earlier, positive that you wouldn't finish reading it in time.
Focused on skimming through the text, you jumped when suddenly someone plumped down the seat right next to you. It couldn't be your friend who typically sat there, because she was sick this week. Of course, it was Sukuna.
"Can you stop doing that?" you hissed, still recovering from the shock.
"Where would be the fun in that?" his pearly whites flashed you.
"Why are you even here? Mixed up the classes?"
"Nah, but we have unfinished business."
"So you thought this was the right place and time for that?" you remarked sarcastically, but he replied with a careless "Yeah."
Shaking your head, you took a quick look at the time before taking the opportunity to confront him.
"Why didn't you tell me you had to be somewhere else on thursday? I would have been fine. I hope you didn't get in trouble..."
Finally talking about what left you nosy after yesterday's events, you wondered if he didn't have any classes himself. But that shouldn't bother you. You've had a hard time doing your homework and falling asleep the previous night due to Sukuna's selfless act, unable to stop your mind from wandering to said topic. You truly wouldn't have expected that from him.
"You know my reasons already, it was my decision. It was nothing your little gift couldn't have fixed." he flirted and you puffed. "I texted them I had to take care of something first and in the end, we still won. None of them was actually mad at me, so don't worry about it." he assured you and that soothed you a little.
"Next time, I'm declining your offer." you informed him.
"Next time, I'll make sure you're at the game then. Can't keep me from the game when you're at it." he smirked and you sighed. He was so annoying.
"I already told you I'm not into football."
"Yeah, about that...that has to change. Can't let you walk around not knowing who the heroes of our campus are." he exaggerated.
"Speaking of which, how do you know my name?" you finally had the chance to ask him that.
"Wouldn't you like to know? Maybe I should leave it to you to figure it out, like you did to me." he suggested, referring to you lying about sharing a class with him when you first met. The puzzled look on your face was enough for him to break out in laughter.
"But I'm not cruel like that. I know Utahime from Todo, I just didn't know she had a roommate. So when I asked him about it, he remembered your name from some of her stories. He didn't know who you were though."
So you both used the same method, the same opportunity to find out about each other? What are the chances?!
"You know Utahime?" Those were news to you. She would have told you if that was the case, you were sure of that.
He shook his head.
"Not in person, I just know she tutors Todo."
"You're unbelievable." you were shocked that he put so much effort into getting to know you.
Everything you've learned about Sukuna in the past few weeks truly surprised you. You thought he was just a big asshole that only cared about himself and had a shallow personality, but the more you got to know him, the more you realized you actually felt somewhat comfortable in his presence. Not that you would tell him that, of course.
"I know." he winked. "So, what do you say? You coming to my next game this weekend?"
"Didn't you have a game last weekend already?" And in that moment, your professor barged in.
Shit! You haven't finished reading the text yet!
"Oh you have a lot of learning to do. We have one every week of the season."
But before Sukuna could carry on his lecture on football, you tried convincing him to give you this lesson another time, internally stressed about your still due obligation of reading the text. But he was stubborn, not willing to comply until you pledged to come to his game this saturday.
The loud discussion in the otherwise so quiet room has ultimately drawn the attention of your lecturer, who quickly noticed that Sukuna didn't belong in this class.
"Mr. Sukuna, aren't you in the wrong place?" the professor voiced.
Sukuna apologized, claiming he only needed a minute before turning back to you again, everyone's eyes on the scene in front of them now. The lecturer was taken aback by Sukuna's boldness, but seeing as the period hasn't even started, he let it slide.
"Please, go already!" you pleaded whisperingly, shoving him a little but he didn't back down just yet. Thankfully, both the professor and the students started preparing for class, the noise slightly concealing your conversation and taking the focus from you.
"I'm not leaving until you promise me to come."
He pushed and you gave in, not daring to face the consequences if you didn't, and especially not wanting to make this situation even worse let alone hold up the whole class.
"Okay, okay! I'm coming! Now go!" And Sukuna grinned.
"That's what I wanted to hear, princess." he moved closer towards you, his lips right next to your ear. "Keep a lookout for number 9, he'll score the winning goal." he whispered deeply and finally stood up, excusing himself.
You let out a breath you didn't know you held and noticed some girls shooting daggers at you. You almost forgot how popular Sukuna was and that made the whole scenario the more embarrassing for you. It was in that moment that you realized what it meant to be around the campus heartthrob Ryomen Sukuna.
Home. Finally home!!!
You thought the day would never come to an end when during all of your classes, Sukuna occupied your every thought. You didn't know what to feel, you knew he was this big ladykiller who you'd never involve yourself with usually, though at the same time, he was caring and attentive and easy to talk to.
You discarded your bag into the corner of your room and freshened up a little. Shoko would come over soon and together with Utahime, the three of you would have a long due girls night again. Movies and gossip with your two best friends - what could be better.
All of you were sitting in Utahime's room now, you didn't have a living room because your apartment consisted of only two rooms plus a bathroom and a kitchen. You didn't complain though, you were already lucky enough to have two separate rooms, many dorm members have to share one.
Shoko was even luckier and lived alone. You always switched between meeting at Shoko's place and yours. Although Shoko didn't have a big apartment, her bedroom was kind of small, so she visited you more often than you visited her.
You were in the middle of telling them the tea and they already tried to persuade you into thinking that Sukuna was interested in you. You just rolled your eyes.
"It's NOT like that! Trust me!" you insisted, but they didn't sound convinced.
"He invited you to his game?" Shoko promted.
"And didn't back off until you said yes?" Utahime's mouth fell wide open.
"I don't know, this all sounds pretty much like it is to me." Shoko was certain.
"I'm not sure, he's really nice and to be honest, different from what I thought." you admitted.
"Just be careful. His reputation speaks for itself. Don't let him fool you." Utahime then added.
"Don't worry, I won't." you sighed.
"Maybe he's just the type of guy who gets off on your 'unreachable' demeanor." Shoko wondered, tapping her chin with her finger. Your face cringed at the thought.
"Even if, it's not like I don't know better than to be cautious. I'm not playing into his game and I'm definitely not going to be one of his conquests. I could never see myself being involved like that with him." you declared confidently.
It was true, you wouldn't fall for his advances, you weren't naive. Maybe you've doubted it for a split second, but you always knew what his goals probably were. And you were thankful for your girls for reminding you.
"It's for the best, really. He is really attractive, but his reputation is just not it. If he ever makes a serious move on you, please run." Utahime concluded, disguising her sincerity with laughter. You could read her like a book however and knew she just deeply cared about you.
"I can't go alone to the game though. Are you by chance free on saturday and would join me?"
"What type of question is that, it was crystal clear from the beginning that we would come with you! Excuse me?" Utahime announced, seemingly offended and you all broke out into laughter.
Oh, how you loved your friends.
A few days before the game, you walked to one of your classes again. This time, you were prepared. You had read the text at home and the phenomenon 'Ryomen Sukuna' didn't distract you from it. You were on your way into the building when you saw a big bus in the parking lot in front of it. It was unmistakably for the football players, you saw Sukuna and his team in the distance. Suddenly, someone bumped into you.
"Oh shit, sorry! Hey, I know you!" It was Yuji.
"Oh, hi! Are you on your way to the bus?" you asked him.
"Yeah! We have an away game again this week!"
"Oh yeah, I know, I'll be there! Good luck!"
"Oh you will? That's nice! I hope you'll enjoy our game then!"
"Thank you! By the way, I'm sorry for interrupting your training last time. I could see you and your friend were quite irritated." you scratched your head in agitation. Yuji seemed confused.
"Hm? Oh! No, sorry if we left that impression! It wasn't you, it's just that Sukuna never really introduced a girl to us before! That was strange!"
What?
His words shocked you. You wanted to know what he meant by that, after all, Sukuna had something going on with a lot of girls already. But before you could consult him, he already set off.
"Oh shit, I have to hurry up, they're already getting inside the bus!" he stressed.
"Oh, yes of course! Uhm, please tell Sukuna good luck from me. A-and the rest of the team too of course!" you passed the message on to him.
"Will do!" he beamed at you and ran off. He was so fast that it didn't take him long to reach the bus.
In the background, you could see Sukuna looking at you through the window. He was already in the bus, his chin in his hands when he winked at you. You winked back.
Great, you thought, you successfully failed keeping Sukuna from your thoughts.
Here's part 3!!! Wasn't content with it for a while, and I've been busy. But now I like it! Omg omg so excited for all the ideas I still have for this story. Next part will be about the first game we're at! Sukuna in action (WOHOOO)! Let me know what you think! <3

Music Boyfriend part 1
Eddie Munson x Fem!Reader
Summary: Eddie is an anonymous frontman of Corroded Coffin and meets his long-time pen-crush while on the run from the law.
Notes: This is HEAVILY inspired by movie Dinner in America, I was obsessed with the dynamic and felt it fit Eddie and Reader so well. general plot similarities but not a complete retelling of the movie.
Eddies POV
Sweat dripped down the nape of Eddie Munsons neck, chest raising and falling at a rapid rate, his hooded reflection an image of fierce rage as he attempted to calm down his heart and mind after the show. It was the biggest crowd they had played for. At least 100 sweaty bodies mashed together screaming his lyrics. Eddie was in a euphoric state the whole set, Corroded Coffin was finally making it in the scene, people were actually taking them seriously.
âGreat show tonight dudeâ Gareth the bands drummer spoke as he walked past smacking his palm against the skin of Eddies exposed back.
âOwners talking about getting us back next weekendâ
Eddies heartbeat was still pounding in his ears when he roughly ripped off the black ski mask from his head, damp curls sprawling out from their confinement.
Shouting could be heard from outside before the door to the small green room slammed open. âTheyâre looking for you manâ Jeff ran in. Eddie could hear the police outside the door, their voices getting closer.
âQuick get out of here and lay low, whatever you did this time theyâll forget in a few daysâ
Eddie cursed before haphazardly putting his mask back on and shrugging his leather jacket on his shoulders before entering the cold night air.
The cops were looking for Eddie, and with the mask on he was no longer Eddie, he was Vandal, Van for short, but he made a run for it just to be safe.
Eddie knew back at the bar his band will be getting interrogated right now. But their story was always the same âwe donât know no Eddie; the lead singers name is Vanâ
He liked to keep his real identity a secret on stage. It was easier due to all the trouble he gets up to during the day and he just preferred the anonymity of it, he could be anyone once that hood came on.
Down the street now Eddie slowed to a brisk walk, pulling out his pack of cigarettes and lighting one, taking a long drag once he finally got a breath. He smiled at the irony of that, thinking of ways he could incorporate that into a lyric, connect it back to the bands rebellious non conformity message.
After a few more minutes of walking Eddie made it to the nearest service station, pulling his hood off and stuffing it in his jacket pocket before entering. He beelined straight to the confectionary section ripping off a chocolate bar and stomping down the aisle for a packet of chips. At the counter he watched the bored clerk perk up at the sight of him, adjusting her shirt to show off more cleavage.
âWhat can I do for youâ she asked in the most flirtatious voice she could
âUh, cheapest bottle of bourbon pleaseâ Eddie answered giving the girl a wink before she turned around to grab the bottle.
âWhat time do you get off?â Eddie leaned his elbows on the counter so his eyes were in line with her chest, noticing the way she pushed her chest out more and stood with her hand on her hip.
âIâm here all night, but itâs pretty dead, I can lock the doorâ She replied seductively. Eddie considered his options. Try to go home to his uncle who likely already received a visit from the cops, or hole up here with a pretty lady until the authorities cool off for the night.
The answer was obvious.
-
Eddie was rudely awoken by the zip of his leather jacket hitting him in his eye socket. Groaning he stretched in the plastic chair he had curled up on, flinching when he pinched a nerve in his back. Uncle Waynes couch would have been a better option.
âYou have to leave now my supervisors going to be hereâ A voice spoke above him.
Eddie squinted open one eye to see a dishevelled version of the girl he met last night. On the floor to his right was an empty bottle of that bourbon and a plastic cup with the remnants of his last few cigarettes.
âGet me another packet of Marlboros would yaâ Eddie resumed his stretch, rubbing the eye that he could already feel a small bruise forming around.
He heard movement and a small box hit him in the chest.
âOut! Now!â
Eddie scrambled to his feet shrugging on his jacket realising he still had no shirt underneath.
âCan I pinch a shirt?â Eddie asked the girl frantically cleaning up the back room they spent the night in.
âTheyâre next to the drink fridge, hurryâ she answered, uninterested in Eddies company by now.
Eddie walked out the back entrance of the service station clad in a shirt saying, âWarning, Choking Hazardâ with an arrow pointed downward, he chuckled to himself, pleased with his selection before lighting up another cigarette and making his way in town. He was starving and could use a greasy cheeseburger to soak up some of the alcohol still swirling through his system.
If he was lucky, the police had forgotten about Mr Wheelers stolen car and Mrs Norrisâs once perfectly manicured lawn (he didnât see the pot hole, he was trying not to pop Mr Wheelers tyre obviously).
Down the main strip of Hawkins Eddie kept his head down trying not to draw any attention. He was on 80% of these peoples hit list, been done dirty by Eddie one way or another. This was why he was so eager to blow up with the band and get the hell out of this shit hole. He approached the record store, interested in this weekâs new releases. Him and the band had been trying to get Corroded Coffins album in store for months. Keith the asshole kept saying they werenât selling amateur garage band shit, so Eddie deeply despised the place.
Like a magnet Eddie found his way to the metal section, browsing the albums he already knew and loved when one cover up the back caught his eye. It was Corroded Coffin, he had hand drawn that cover himself, he recognised the charcoal smudge scanned onto the left edge of every album they printed. It cost him a fortune, only two existed in vinyl format and 50 cassettes, all the copies they hand out at shows now are hand scratched mixtape style covers. This was one of those 50 official cassettes.
âIts limited edition, hence, the markupâ A soft voice spoke from behind Eddie. He turned his head and scowled at the girl stood behind him. She was twiddling with a sticker that read âSALEâ a crooked name badge on a too big shirt with âHawkins Recordsâ printed on the opposite side.
âYeah, I know its limited edition, its one of 50â Eddie spat back protectively. Who was this girl telling him about his own band?
âIts one of my own copies. I bought two because Iâm such a fan and wanted a backup but Keiths been pushing back their request to sell in the store, so I sacrificed my spare to put out, they deserve to be in stores, have you heard of them?â The girl rambled, seemingly forgetting her own surroundings once she had started talking.
âOf course, Iâve heard of themâ Eddie grumbled putting the album back. âBetter question is how have you heard of themâ
Eddie turned fully now to look at the girl. She was nothing like the people who come to his shows, she radiated too much of a cautious, anxious energy. She looked uncomfortable in her own skin and ashamed of her own actions, but Eddie was no psychoanalyst, he couldnât make those kinds of conclusions. She looked up at him but a little to the left, never making eye contact and she had a twitch in her leg that looked a little like Gareth tapping a kick drum.
âMy friend Jack showed me their album, he works here Monday to Thursday, heâs really into metalâ
Eddie looked her up and down as he tried to work this girl out, she was fucking weird, and that was saying something coming from him, the towns resident freak.
âDid you know the bands lead vocalist Vandal wears a mask?â Her leg began to twitch more as she continued to talk about Eddie, to Eddie.
âHe stays anonymous when he performs, I find it so hot no one knows who he really isâ Her twitching turned into a small bounce and Eddie stepped back away from her.
âOi! Nutcase, stop harassing the customers, get back to work!â Keith yelled from the front of the store, shutting down this girlâs excitement. This didnât sit well with Eddie at all.
âDoes he always talk to you like that?â
The girl looked down at her shoes nervously. âYeah, he doesâ
Eddie grunted, âHeâs an asshole, you know that?â The girl only nodded back.
Her submission to the asshole up the front only enraged Eddie more. âHey! Keith!â He shouted across the store, stomping up to the counter.
âFind someone else to pick onâ He growled before planting one hard punch to Keithâs face, definitely breaking his nose. Other customers in the store looked up, curious about the commotion.
âAnd treat your staff betterâ
Keith groaned in pain, âSheâs fucking useless man, what the fuckâ
Something in Eddie felt protective over this girl, and he wasnât sure why. She was a fan obviously and a part of him felt indebted to her for her devotion to his art, whether she knew it or not.
âCome onâ Eddie grunted, pulling the strange girl by her arm and out of the store. He knew it wouldnât be too long before Keith calls the police and theyâre hot on his trail again.
âWhere are we going?â She asked still being dragged by Eddie.
âTo your placeâ
Surprisingly it didnât take any convincing at all for this girl to lead Eddie in the direction of her house, taking backstreets to avoid attention. Eddie added this to her list of traits that made her a freak, who the hell takes a guy like Eddie home after that?
âHey, stopâ Eddie interrupts once they were far enough away, he thought theyâd be safe from authorities. âFuck this shitâ he said ripping off the name badge from her uniform. âYou donât need that shitholeâ The girl looked at Eddie now, analysing him.
âAm I fired?â
The question baffled him, how does he answer that. Did he just get her fired?
âLike I said, you donât need that shitholeâ He punctuated, motioning for her to continue walking, he was still fucking starving.
-
She led him up to a plain white house, perfect coverup assuming Keith doesnât talk. Inside, it was as plain at the exterior, perfect picture of boring suburbia. Eddie couldnât help comparing it to somewhere theyâd send him to torture him.
âMy Dads on a trip and my Moms working a late shift, no one will find you hereâ The girl said, practically reading Eddies mind.
She walked him through and into the kitchen offering him a glass of water, which Eddie rejected as he pushed her out of the way to scan her fridge.
âWhereâs the beer?â
The strange girl shrugged, âDad doesnât like beerâ
âIs there any booze in this house?â He asked, already getting irritated.
âWell, dads got a special bottle of whiskey he saves for Christmas each year in his study, he says its vintageâ
âPerfectâ Eddie answered, âGo get itâ
He continued to rummage through the fridge, pulling out bread, turkey meat and cranberry jelly. The girl stayed put, not answering Eddie. âIs there a problem?â
âIts Dads special Whiskey, he only drinks it on Christmasâ
Eddie rolled his eyes. âWhateverâ
Once his sandwich was made Eddie began to look around the house, looking for anything valuable he could snatch on his way out tomorrow. âWhatâs your deal then?â Eddie called from a gallery wall near the front entrance, viewing a series of boring family photos, this family didnât even go on vacation, every photo looked like a Macys photoshoot.
âWhat do you mean?â She asked sneaking up next to Eddie, causing him to jump and hold his chest.
âFucking creepy, donât do thatâ He hissed before composing himself, âI mean, what do you do besides work at the record store, did you go to college? Actually, how old are you?â
âIâm 20, I did one year at college, but mom thought Iâd be better working and getting some life experience and going back later when I gained a bit more confidenceâ
Eddie noted the way she spoke to the wall rather than to Eddie, so he turned to face her directly, encouraging her to do the same.
âYou think youâre getting life experience getting yelled at by Keith?â
âNot reallyâ
Eddie crossed his arms, âwhat do you want to be doing then?â
The girl took a moment to consider her next words, biting her lip in thought. âFollow meâ She led him up a flight of stairs and into a bedroom with the most contradicting aesthetic Eddie had ever seen. Her bed was cutely decorated with girly blankets, a pile of stuffed animals in the corner. Cascading over the bed was a frilly canopy covered in fairly lights. To the opposite wall was a white traditional vanity with a pretty jewellery box decorated with glittery stickers, and various lip glosses and juvenile makeup products. The walls however were covered in aggressive Metal band posters. Eddie spotted a concert advertisement poster they had put up around town for one of Corroded Coffins gigs. She had a stack of cassettes beside her bed that Eddie imagined didnât contain a single Madonna album.
âI want to start a bandâ She spoke quickly, rummaging through a cardboard box of letters, papers and various craft equipment.
âI donât have anyone to join the band, but Iâve been writing songsâ She pulls out one envelope generously decorated in stickers. âI sometimes send the love songs to Vandal from Corroded Coffinâ she explains turning around to show Eddie the letter she had, addressed to his uncles PO box.
Eddies stomach dropped, face void of any blood as he stared at the familiar envelope connecting the dots between this girl and the girl heâd been fantasizing about for over a year now.
This was fucking bad.

NNN - chris sturniolo - you donât need me
Chris was easily one of your bestest friends. Having met in high school through some mutual friends, you both had clicked with your similar interests. Your friendship easily carried into your adult years even after those same friends who introduced you fell out of the friend group.
It was always you and chris â chris and you. You stuck together through ups and downs, good times and bad times. There was hardly anything that could separate you two from each other â not even his brothers who you grew close too as well. You told each other everything â who you hooked up with, things you needed help with, everything.
But that all started to change when chris met her â scarlet. When they started officially dating is when chris seemed to become more distant from you, spending more time with her. Sure you didnât mind much, considering the fact that she is chrisâ girlfriend â heâd want to spend a lot of his time with her and you didnât mind.
But what made you upset was the lack of communication on his end â never texting you to tell you if heâs busy or when heâs going to be. You just wanted to know so you werenât trying to ruin the plans he may have already made â it didnât help that scarlet wasnât any good either.
So here you were, staring down at your phone, feeling the familiar ache when Chris leaves your message unread yet again. Itâs been like this since he started dating her. Youâd tried to stay supportive, happy for him when he met someone new. But the excitement quickly faded as she became less of a girlfriend and more of a wedge between you and Chris.
The first time you had noticed her attitude was at one of Chrisâs hangouts. You had walked over, ready to grab a drink from the table when she suddenly stepped in front of you with a saccharine smile that didnât quite reach her eyes.
âOh,â sheâd said, eyeing you up and down, âI didnât know Chris invited⌠everyone.â Sheâd tilted her head in mock confusion, clearly implying you didnât belong. You had brushed it off at first, laughing it away, figuring she was just getting used to Chrisâs friends.
But it didnât stop. Every time you were around her, she found ways to make you feel out of place. One night when you and chris had gone to dinner with a few friends, she slid up next to you while you were getting food, making sure no one was watching while she looked over at you as if she was inspecting you.
âDo you really need another plate?â sheâd asked, raising an eyebrow. âItâs just⌠some people donât know when enough is enough, you know?â her words dripped with malice, it made you feel uneasy.
The comment left you speechless, stinging more than you wanted to admit. But you kept it to yourself, not wanting to stir up drama. Chris deserved to be happy, and if she made him happy, you could put up with her snide remarks. Or so you told yourself.
One afternoon, you decided to meet Chris at a coffee shop to catch up, just the two of you, like old times. But when you arrived, she was there, sitting next to him with a possessive arm looped through his. Her eyes tracked you as you approached, a slow, mocking smile spreading across her face.
âOh, youâre here,â she said, her tone dripping with false warmth. âChris didnât tell me you were coming. I thought this was, you know, our time.â the disgust on her face was clear, to you at least. A frown pulled across your face â why couldnât it just be you and him without her?
Chris, oblivious as ever, just shrugged, looking between the two of you with an awkward smile. âI thought itâd be fun if we all hung out.â he said, his free hand coming up to run through his hair â a habit he did when he was nervous. You went to speak, lips parting but were quickly cut off.
She didnât let you get a word in. âActually, babe, I think we had plans later⌠but itâs okay,â she said, her gaze flicking back to you with a knowing smirk. âMaybe next time you can give us a little heads-up before you just⌠drop in.â
You forced a smile, feeling that familiar, nauseating sense of discomfort settling in as you took a seat across from the both of them. âOf course. I didnât mean to intrude.â you muttered, quickly picking up the menu to order something â your talking plans were ruined.
After that, her taunts became a regular part of your life. Sheâd bump into you at parties, slyly insult your outfit or make snide comments about how âclingyâ you were to Chris. And every time, Chris seemed too blindâor too charmedâto see through her sweet facade. It hurt, but you kept swallowing it down, determined not to let her get to you â and god was it a bitter pill to swallow.
One night, Chris invited you to another party at his place, saying he missed hanging out like old times. You had agreed, hoping that maybe â just maybe â this time would be different, maybe sheâd lay off for the night. But when you arrived, you noticed the way she lingered by his side, whispering in his ear as her eyes flicked toward you, a glint of triumph in her gaze.
You managed to avoid her for most of the night, sticking with other friends and keeping yourself occupied with the drinks and the snacks the were laid out on the counter in the kitchen â or just busting yourself with dancing. But when you headed to the kitchen for another drink, she followed, cornering you by the counter.
âFunny, isnât it?â she said, her voice barely masking the hostility beneath her smile. âYouâre still hanging around like a little lost puppy. Does Chris know how desperate you are to get his attention?â her words left you speechless, stabbing you in the chest. Does she just think thatâs all you are? â an attention whore?
You clenched your jaw, the anger bubbling up in your chest. âIâm not desperate for anything. Chris and I have been friends for years.â you gritted out, your words almost lost to the music â but you knew she heard what you said.
She laughed, tilting her head with a pitying look. âFriends, sure. Keep telling yourself that.â She leaned closer, voice dropping to a whisper. âBut hereâs the thing. He doesnât need you anymore. So why donât you do us both a favor and stop acting like you belong here?â
You felt your face heat up, a mix of anger and hurt swirling inside you. Every ounce of restraint you had kept you from firing back. But it was getting harder to stay quiet, harder to brush off the blatant cruelty.
Instead of responding, you pushed past her â your shoulder shoving into herâs harshly, heading outside to get some air, trying to calm the pounding in your chest. It was one thing for her to be possessive or rude, but to imply that your friendship with Chris didnât matter hurt more than you wanted to admit.
You went home early that night, ignoring the questions from friends and the puzzling look chris had given you when you got into your car and drove home. As you drove â you couldnât wrap your head around the fact as to why she didnât like you. You never did anything to her, youâve been nothing but nice.
When you climbed into bed that night â your tears soaked your pillow, crying yourself to sleep.
A few days later, you finally decided to talk to Chris alone. You messaged him, asking if he could come over to your place to talk, and to your relief, he agreed. Thereâs a knock at your door sometime later â your body moving toward the front door. You take a deep breath, firmly gripping the door handle you open it, and there he was, standing with his hands in his pockets, a faint look of regret in his eyes.
Does he know?
You step aside, letting him slip in past you as he flashed you a smile. Closing the door behind you, you walk to the living room â chris following behind as he takes a seat on the couch next to you. He didnât say anything for a moment â this look in his eyes that made you frown was hard to read.
âItâs been a while..â he muttered and you forced a smile, trying to hold back the flood of emotions threatening to already spill over. âYeah, itâs been a while.â You took a breath, steadying yourself. âChris, I⌠I need to talk to you about scarlet.â you whispered, sucking in another deep breath.
His expression shifted slightly, a flicker of discomfort crossing his face. âWhat about her?â he asked.
You looked down at your hands, gathering your thoughts. âShe⌠sheâs not as nice as you think she is, Chris. She goes out of her way to make me feel like I donât belong around you anymore. Itâs constant.â the words made your chest feel tight â you canât believe youâre even saying this.
He frowned, leaning back on the couch. âI think youâre overreacting. Sheâs never said anything bad about you to me.â he points out â his reply only making your tone harsher,
âOf course she wouldnât,â you replied, frustration bubbling up. âShe does it when youâre not around. Itâs not little stuff, Chris. Sheâs cruel. She treats me like⌠like Iâm just some random person getting in the way.â your voice strained, throat threatening to close up on you as you continued to hold back your emotions.
Chris looked away, shaking his head. âLook, I know she has a strong personality, but she wouldnât just bully you for no reason. Maybe sheâs just protective.â he tried to reason. You felt your heart sink, his words hitting you like a cold splash of reality. âProtective? Chris, Iâm your friend. Iâve always been there for you. Iâm not some threat.â you watched his face twist â he wasnât understanding it.
He sighed, rubbing a hand over his face. âI donât know. It just feels like⌠maybe this isnât as big of a deal as youâre making it.â you swallowed the hurt, nodding slowly. âMaybe youâre right,â you said, your voice barely a whisper. âMaybe⌠maybe you just donât need me around anymore.â
You stood up, tears slipping down your face now as you looked down at him, feeling like you were watching the end of something youâd held so close for so long. âWait, come on, you know itâs not like that,â he protested, standing up a flicker of panic crossing his face.
But you just shook your head, forcing a smile through your tears. âI thought youâd have my back, Chris. I thought I mattered enough to you. But I canât keep fighting for a place in your life when itâs this one-sided.â
He steps closer, reaching for your hand, but you pull away. The distance between you feels insurmountable, like an ocean too wide to cross. Heâs standing right in front of you, and yet heâs never felt so far.
Thereâs a long silence as he looks down to the floor, his shoulders slumping. âI donât know what to say. Iâm sorry.â he mumbled, a hand running through his hair â something youâve grown so used to, but may not ever get to see again.
âI donât know if I can forgive you, Chris â or her.â you whisper, feeling the weight of those words settle in your chest. His head raised to look at you â the reality settling into him. He knew â he knew what was happening and he feels so stupid for not noticing anything sooner, maybe you were right. But he couldnât bring himself to say it out loud.
Without another word, you walked to your front door â opening it as you looked back at chris, his feet moving him slowly. You were still crying â your chest aching with pain as he got closer. When he passed by you, stepping onto your front porch â he looked over his shoulder.
âI love you.â was all he said before walking away. The words settling in like a final goodbye, the tears flowing harder than ever now. As you closed the door, you realized that this was you letting him go â maybe for good â leaving behind the person youâd once called your best friend.

sucker for you
peter maximoff x reader
word count: 1.2k
i can't stop thinking about how peter would react to reader taking his lollipop from him and putting it in her mouth so here's a little drabble about that
a/n: i should be working on this bucky piece that i started like 3 weeks ago but i just needed to get this out of my system first
warnings/tags: language, use of alcohol (everyone is 21+!!), no use of y/n, peter's pov, and some â¨ď¸tensionâ¨ď¸
Peter didn't know it was possible to get so flustered over a human being.
He's never exactly considered himself to be a ladies man, but around you? He's hopeless. A lost cause. Every time he's near you, it feels like his first very day ever interacting with another person.
From the way that your smile reaches your eyes whenever he makes you laugh with a stupid joke to the way that you always smell sweeter than the candy that he eats too much of, he's been a goner for you since the day he first met you.
And the worst part? You seem to know exactly how to make him blush.
As per usual on Friday nights, yours and Peter's group of friends is hanging out in the woods behind the mansion. You're all lounging around a bonfire that Scott works to keep going strong, talking amongst yourself in pairs.
"You know, I heard Warren telling Scott that he's planning on asking you to the winter gala," Jean snickers to you.
Peter isn't trying to eavesdrop, really. Jean just has zero volume control when she has any amount of alcohol in her system. He'd be able to hear every word she's saying even if you and her weren't sitting right next to him.
"What?" Jean demands when you offer no response other than some giggles and a shake of your head. "You've already turned two people down. You're kinda running low on options at this point.â
He twists the stem of the cherry flavored lollipop that he's sucking on, trying and failing to focus on whatever it is that Kurt's rambling on about. His body is angled away from yours, but he can feel the vibration of your low laughter from where your shoulder rests against his.
Peter had heard that you've been asked to the gala that Charles throws in the name of the X-Men every year. He couldn't lie, he was relieved when he'd found out that you had shot down the suitors - not that he'd ever have the balls to ask you himself. He had no desire to be added to the list of people that you've rejected to a glorified prom.
âSo? I can go alone. Going alone is better than going with anyone who isn't the person that I actually want to go with,â you answer with a shrug of your shoulders.
Peter tenses at your words, his stomach doing a somersault.
âAnd who would that be?â Jean asks in a teasing voice, almost like she already knows the answer.
Before you can respond, Peter quickly shoots to his feet. Kurt comes to a sudden stop in the middle of a sentence, and both you and Jean turn to look up at him from where you still sit on the old, fallen tree that is being used as a bench.
âWhere're you going?â You ask. Peter knows it's probably wishful thinking, but he can't help but think that there's a hint of disappointment in your voice.
âBack to the mansion. I've gotta take a whiz,â he retorts, hoping he sounds casual. Truthfully, he can't stand the thought of having to hear you say some dude's name in response to Jean's question.
âSince when are you above pissing in the woods?â Scott laughs as he piles some more branches onto the bonfire.
Peter shoots him an obscene gesture, about to bolt in the direction of the mansion when he feels your hand wrap around his from beneath him. You begin to get up, and he instinctively helps pull you into a standing position.
âI'll walk back with you,â you tell him as you drop his hand. âI'm going to grab a few more beers.â You smile at him in the orange glow of the fire and he forgets how to speak. He motions as if to say after you and you begin walking in the direction of the mansion.
He's fully aware that he could have the two of you back to the school in a split-second, but despite how nervous he gets around you, he'd never pass up the opportunity to spend a few moments alone with you. Living here, you're both almost always surrounded by other people. If it's not Jean, it's Storm. If it's not Storm, it's Raven or Hank. If it's it's not â
âI just had to get away from that,â you sigh when the two of you are out of earshot from the others. âI love her, but Jean can be kind of relentless,â you add with a small laugh.
âYou can say that again,â he agrees, his voice mumbled from the lollipop stuffed between his teeth and his check. âJust the other day she was saying that I should ask someone.â
âYeah?â You quip, a curious edge to your tone. âAnd are you going to?â
âNah,â Peter shrugs, trying to play it cool. âLike you said, it's better to go alone than to go with someone who isn't the person you really like.â
âSo what's stopping you from asking her? Is she already going with someone else?â
âNo,â he answers, coming to a stop in the middle of the moonlit path the two of you are walking on. âShe's not. But she's already turned down basically everyone in the school, so I don't think I stand much of a chance.â
Sometimes Peter starts a sentence without knowing where itâs going, but right now even he's shocked by his words. He's not quite sure where the bravery came from, but he can't exactly take it back now. You're not stupid - he knows you can read between the lines to deduce who he's talking about.
You come to a halt, turning back to look at him. He offers a small, nervous smirk and resists the urge to dash away before you can reply to his confession.
âThree people isn't basically everyone in the school,â you chuckle with one of those grins that could bring Peter to his knees. You take a few slow steps towards him, stopping when your chest is just inches from his. Your gaze flickers from his eyes and down to his mouth before you reach a hand up to his face and pinch the stem of his lollipop between your thumb and index finger, plucking it from his mouth.
His eyes widen in surprise, all but bulging out of his head when you pop what's left of the red lollipop into your own mouth. You swirl it around in your mouth, your plump lips wrapped around the stick.
âBut for what it's worth, the whole school could ask me and there's only one person who would get a yes out of me.â
You pull the lollipop from between your lips and hold it back up to Peter's mouth, resting it against his bottom lip until he parts them - to speak or to accept the sucker, he's not sure. But he doesn't do anything to stop you when you guide it back inside his mouth, the flavor of the cherry candy and your saliva infiltrating his senses when it meets his tongue.
âJust in case you were wondering,â you shrug, and turn to continue your walk back to the mansion as if you didn't just make his heart combust in his chest.
He speeds after you, deciding that maybe Jean has a point - maybe he should ask someone after all.
â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘

Ask compilation: DU drow, Orin, Astarion, lore things and little fun facts.
Trying to make a dent in this dang inbox. As always, thank you so much everyone for your patience and curiosity! Sorry that it is straight up no longer possible for me to reply to everyone, but I will keep doing my best within reason. Enjoy!
Absolutely! I had a lot of requests for bottom Astarion on my patreon which is why I was kind of on a roll there for a minute.
Though, for the record - I am really not very invested in strict bedroom roles at all. Or clear and distinct dominant/submissive dynamics. So please don't overthink it whenever there's a switch, no pun intended.
You wanna know how often they smash? Man, I don't know, I guess fairly often considering their lifestyle post-game (very active, often on the road).
Assuming that everyone agrees that sex doesn't have to involve penetration, I'd say once every other day or less, really depends on the circumstances though. DU drow's libido is much higher than Astarion's, but he's not an animal and can hold off fine. Astarion is likely to be pickier in regards to location and how-recently-have-we-bathed status as well.
I keep meaning to draw him, but I have like... A million things I want to do đ so its rough!
BUT you will at least continue to see him in ANE! And I'm sure i'm bound to draw him again in the future.
[MORE UNDER THE CUT]
If you mean in his bhaalist "AU", where he has the red robe and the extra scars, I imagine he would have gotten it through killing Isobel.
I think as a changeling she probably has the ability to just... Transform her hair however she likes at will, right? And based on her attitude plus some lines we get from Sceleritas about her own former-butler, it sounds like she would be really opposed to being serviced in that way, to me at least.
I see her as pretty aggressively independent with the way she operates, which is another factor that sets her apart from DU drow, who really enjoyed lording over the other Bhaalists and making an errand boy out of Sceleritas, to the point where he practically depended on their help to function.
Neither! I wasn't willing to let anyone take either of my eyes in my first playthrough, LOL.
I have since always given the Volo eye to SOMEONE, usually Gale, but I don't consider that canonical. I don't think anyone was desperate enough to let mister frumpy-hat over there ice-pick their eyes out.
He did do them himself. It was a profoundly stupid display he got caught up in because of Gortash. Also, de-handment is kind of a theme in his life, at least inside his head.
I have a comic about it planned for the future ;)
What do you mean, that's canonical to the game and everything! He loves the cuck chair!
He is an angsty 29-year old in denial. Your interpretation is still perfectly accurate.
Hates the guy. Hates when Shadowheart Astarion people joke about him being the Drizzt of his generation. Hates the guy like literally any countercultural weirdo hates Taylor Swift or the Weeknd. If he saw him at the line in the grocery store DU drow would find a way to roll his eyes loudly just so he could notice being an asshole.
Stay tuned, I'm cooking đ§âđł
If you're asking about game strats, badly, LOL. Pretty sure I died twice to her in my first run and it was a rough way of being thrown into "serious" DnD combat.
With the exception of a couple of encounters that just so happened to turn out SURPRISINGLY cinematic, I'm just realizing that I actually don't think too often about how most of the fights went in real-time! I imagine Autie Ethel's in particular wasn't one that DU drow went into of his own accord, probably rather at a companion's insistence. That's as deep as I've thought about that personally.
Now... Back to game strats. I personally try to get a surprise round on her however I can by sneaking and shooting an arrow or AOE in her general location, since she always stands on roughly the same spot while invisible. I have my companions spread about the arena so we can take her clones down as fast as possible, and as soon as I identify who the real Ethel is I just have the strongest martial characters wail on her until she begs to be let go. Hers is one of the few fights that is actually pretty dang easy at this point for me - and I SUCK at this game.
That would certainly take a while! But, Bhaalist DU drow does kind of have an end goal, actually.
That might also turn into a comic eventually, but it would a rough one.
He pretty swiftly disposed of her, DU drow doesn't like being talked down to, which Minthara very promptly does. Him (and I, by extension) had very limited exposure to her and she was just kind of a speck of dust in his story in particular. Though I have since grown to adore her character in my proceeding runs where I do recruit her!
I guess if he got an invitation and it wasn't particularly painful to arrive at the venue, sure! He would specially love to take Astarion to Gale's wedding ceremony and purposely upstage him at every at every opportunity, LOL.
Yes. He got pretty freaky with the pain-priest. This is gonna sound like a lie but I made him get naked for it without even knowing there was a buff to be gained (I didn't get it, unfortunately, I don't remember whether I failed a check or if I had camp clothes toggled on, so it didn't count as being truly nude). I wasn't taking the game very seriously and just doing dumb roleplay things to see what would happen, LOL.
And I consider that canonical. I think DU drow saw the opportunity to show off his physique And had a strange inkling that this was a practice he was... Somehow familiar with.
Imagine my joy when Astarion and Shadowheart start having a back-and-forth about my absurd display. That's when i knew those were my people, to be honest.
