Draco works in a bakery. In the back, after it’s closed, cleaning. It’s hard work. He doesn't mind it.

Draco works in a bakery. The same one he’s been working for ages, in the back, except now he works with dough and crème pât. It’s early mornings and long shifts.

Draco works in a bakery. He’s the first one in, unlocking the door every morning. He flicks the lightswitch, turns on the coffee machine. The sign on the door has his name.

Draco works in a bakery, even though he doesn’t have to. The most popular item on the menu, the most ridiculous thing he’s come up with, is sold out every single day. People queue for it in all his locations. He has made his first million galleons ages ago, yet he still comes to work and puts an apron on.

Draco doesn’t work in a bakery anymore because his grandkids begged him to take it easy for once. He bakes at home a lot though, like this morning, a batch of gingerbread cookies; his favourite thing to make, the one that’s made his bakeries famous. He waits for them to cool, coffee cup warming his hands. He pipes on golden round glasses carefully, adds the sharp edges of a lighting bolt. His husband will laugh and shake his head when he comes downstairs.

Micro fic, Barty and Evan are visited by a policeman and a child

_______

Barty and Evan opens the door to their home. In front of them stands a policeman with a baby in his hands. "Are you Mr. and..." He looks skeptically between the two boys back and forth, ".. and Mr. Rosier?"

...

Half an hour later the three men and the baby are sitting in the living room of Barty and Evans home.

Barty just stares at the small child sitting in his Armchair, but Evan trys to unterstand the situation.

"Okay, but why do you want US to take the child?!"

The Policeman rolls his eyes and explaines again.

"So, The parents were killed last week. The next possible person for this child is his Godfather, but he is in prison. His husband is untraceable . We think, he run away and joined the.. "

He stopped, before he could say 'Werewolfs'

"... to join another group. Thr parents didn't have other relatives. So we are looking for the Family of the godfather. His brother is untraceable too, and his heirs are Ms. Pandora Lovegood, who is intractable as well, and you two. So now, good luck with Harry."

Barty tries to talk to the child, after the policeman left them alone with baby Harry.

But Evan doesn't like this.

"You want a beer?"

"He's 1!"

"I don't know, what am I supposed to do with him?!"

[icannotgetoverbirds]

for real this is how I've managed to start writing a fic so fucking long that it's entirely unhinged. low estimates for how long it's going to be are well over 100k, but estimates based on average word count per chapter end up at well over 300k, and the more generous estimates that I've made place it at 675k.

All this because I decided to write like nobody else was going to read it. I mean, I still publish it because how can I not with that word count, but above all else I write for myself. It's kind of terrifying, the amount of creative power this gives me, an incredibly dysfunctional person.

you know that expression, "dance like no one is watching you?"

try writing like no one is going to read it

it's easier to let yourself go and just enjoy the process of creation when you aren't also playing 6 dimensional chess with your insecurities and anxieties

write because you have fun writing and if you never post it anywhere that's totally fine because you enjoyed your time with the process

"HB 777 not only would fine libraries and librarians, but it would possibly require hard labor by those found guilty. Read that again: librarians would be sentenced to hard labor for daring to join their largest professional organization.

The bill would also potentially kill one of the largest graduate school programs in the state of Louisiana, Louisiana State University’s Masters of Library and Information Science program. Like all Master of Library and Information Science programs, it is accredited by the ALA and goes through a rigorous process to ensure that the curriculum is up-to-date and aligned with best practices in libraries.

Even if the bill is limited “only” to the use of tax money to support membership or attendance/enrollment in ALA-sponsored professional development, take a moment to look into whether or not police, fire, or other public entities are subject to similar legislation in Louisiana or elsewhere. You probably know the answer–and you probably won’t be surprised that one of the few institutional benefits offered to library workers is such membership.

If you haven’t been paying attention until now or you’ve thought these fears when laid out over the last several years were hyperbole and this is your wakeup call, there’s no time like the present to get to work advocating on behalf of your library. If you live in Louisiana, contact your representatives as soon as possible (here’s a very easy way to do that!). You can also reach out to Kellee Dickerson by phone at (225) 380-4232 and email hse064@legis.la.gov.

Then, reach out to your own libraries and offer your support, either by showing up at board meetings and/or running for those board positions when vacancies occur. Go borrow books from the library and get your writing hands going with letters to your local papers.

EveryLibrary also has a petition you can sign related to HB777."

Please take the time to sign the petition, spread the word, and support your local library.

a/n: since when was fat a bad word? dni ugly fatphobes genuinely kiss my fat black ass.

content warning: more freaky froggie stuff becus cupid does it best!!

men whom love fat women !!

yes fat. with bellies that fold under their clothes and poke through their high waisted jeans. chunky arms that jiggle when they move, and that oh so lovely layer of fat under their chins, giving their round faces an almost childish glem. don't get them started on stretch marks— the tiger strips that cover their tummies, shoulders, and jiggly thighs only add to the mouthwatering appeal. fat women that are just so biteable, edible, and loveable. big strong men who laugh find it absolutely laughable at the thought of not being able to handle a woman with extra meat on their bones. was that a challenge? they sure see it as one.

big strong nasty men who laugh deep and proud as they squeal and gasp in surprise when they're lifted off their feet and chucked around like they didn't weigh over 225. proud nasty brutes who prove they can handle it by fucking their chunky lady standing up. holding every squish of fat up as they ram their even bigger cocks into their messy little pussies. dropping dumb dick that has them gasping and begging for air.

brutes who don't stop until they have their woman fucked out and panting. proud like they've just won the lottery. "still think i can't handle you?."

fuck. he sure can..

words:225

Goofy ahh boyfriend, Idk why but I think he'd be lowkey brain rot

he would always make fun of you every time he gets

mocks you about your height 24/7

he never fails to make you laugh

hides stuff in the upper shelves so you would need his help

pranks you all the time

once he pranked you so badly that you started crying from how badly he scared you

don't worry though he carried you to the sofa and gave you cuddles and begged you for forgiveness

complains about you stealing his stuff but secretly loves it

he thinks you look so small and cuddable (Grammarly says it's not a word but from now on it is)

sometimes he wants to bite you from cuteness aggression

he likes to pick you up spin you around and throw you on his bed

every time he hugs you he mocks you and says "Where did y/n go?" cuz you look so small around him🤏

he gets you gifts every time he sees something that reminds him of you

even though Ni-ki may not say that he loves you so much, he loves you with all his heart you're his whole world and don't need anything else.

The Last Stand Exam

This file documents the questions administered to the adventuring party known as the Bad Kids during their Last Standard Exam, in their junior year at the Aguefort Adventuring Academy. This assessment was produced from a variety of class materials relevant to the curriculum of the Aguefort Adventuring Academy, as submitted to the principal Arthur Aguefort prior to the start of the school year. This list is accompanied by documentation of the creatures the party known as the Bad Kids was required to face as part of the exam.

The exam is graded out of 100 points; the scoring involves the students correctly answering the questions in the appropriate time interval as well as their heroic last stands. The students are expected to simultaneously fight off a horde of creatures and participate in the examination equally; each student in this party must answer two of the twelve questions.

Neither exam aids, nor outside interference are permitted during the examination period--this excludes clerical divine intervention, as appropriately performed by a member of the party in question. By standard, the proctor must be protected--death of the proctor results in a 30 point score reduction regardless of circumstance.

By Solisian School District Standards, this party reports excellent grades and a high level of competency with regard to independent adventuring.* They were allotted a grace period prior to exam initiation for preparatory spellcasting and review of the exam parameters. Based on prior academic achievement**, the students were allowed two chances to defer a question or utilize previous materials in their response. Questions where these materials were used will be marked with a **.

Party Members:

Adaine Abernant | Wizard

Lazy Mornings

Aizawa x gn!reader

Day 9 ― Morning Sex TW: NSFW, fluff words: 225

The golden rays of the sunrise stream through the blinds, bathing your bedroom in a warm glow. The familiar sound of an alarm going off breaks the previous peaceful silence of the room, making you groan in protest and push your face into your husband's chest. "Don't go."

Aizawa sighs from where he's lying beside you, stroking your hair as he lazily rocks his hips against yours. "I have to. Someone's gotta teach those kids," he murmurs, his voice gravelly from sleep.

"You could always call in, y'know," you suggest, making him chuckle quietly and rest his forehead against your shoulder.

"..You know I can't do that," he replies after a moment of silence.

You let out a short hum and wrap your arms around his neck, slowly shifting your hips to meet each of his slow thrusts. "..You're cute," you murmur after a few seconds.

"Huh?" he mumbles in confusion, causing you to laugh slightly.

"You're cute," you repeat. "It's sweet ― how dedicated you are to your students," you say softly, stroking his hair.

Aizawa shakes his head. "I'm just being responsible," he denies with a small tsk.

"Hmm..whatever you say," you muse, leaning forward to peck his lips. It causes his cock to twitch slightly inside you, a barely visible blush on his cheeks.

"I'm being serious."

"Sure you are."   

"..I am."

They were late. Running as fast as they could toward Transfiguration, Sirius nearly tripped over a crack in the corridor, only righting himself at the last moment, leaning over his knees to take a second to breathe, his hair falling over his face.

"Alright, love?"

The nickname slipped through Remus's lips before he had the chance to hold it back, causing both himself and Sirius to freeze. For one ghastly moment, Remus thought Sirius would run. They'd barely acknowledged that they both enjoyed snogging in hidden alcoves between classes, let alone the feelings that went along with those lingering touches.

So, hesitantly, he grabbed Sirius's shoulder and turned the other boy so the sheet of black hair fell away, revealing his face.

But Sirius didn't look scared, or even mad. Instead, he was bright red, and he looked....

Well, he looked turned on.

"F-fine," he mumbled distractedly, still scarlet, as he stood upright and brushed himself off.

But Remus's mouth slowly split into a grin, because oh. This was new. "You sure, baby?" he asked experimentally, eyes on Sirius's face.

And as the other boy turned almost purple with the word, Remus chuckled.

"Yes," Sirius gritted out, biting at his lip. "Now let's go, before I change my mind and decide I have better things to do than go to class."

Smirking, Remus followed him.
