Hi! Nice to meet you on here and thanks for stopping by :)

Personal rambles
Me: I’m 26, from Hong Kong. INTP 5w4. In real life, I’m working towards becoming an architect (which makes me a bit tired).

Hope you find something here that resonates with you~
My interests: Cinema, music, art, history, psychology, science, and philosophy
My languages: I can read English, traditional and simplified Chinese, and a bit of Japanese. I speak Cantonese, English, and Mandarin. I sing in Gibberish.
Other notes: My ask box is always open! I have an AO3 account under the same name: QueenMelancholy It’s ok to tag me in tag games or picrew chains XD

Restructuring Foundations- A Door To Opportunity
✨🧬🏘️🚪✨
In the midst of uncertainty and what feels like chaos, it has felt for some time nowadays foundations are crumbling or rumbling sitting left in the dust that's beyond repair.
What's next that will unveil itself in due time?
There have been some truths that have come to light in a pandemic that made us aware of the boxes we squeezed into to the conflicts that have arose of build up of generational passed on that needed to be exposed and talked about for what it is.
To believe or not what are the truths and what are the lies. Sense of individual to society identities that we thought we knew and some we never knew existed outside of our bubble world.
The thing that have distracted, manipulated, or distorted a one side part of the story with a past,current, or theory of what's going to happen next are a narrative that no one truly knows. We can be given signs or warning signs but curiosity of going down a rabbit hole of the present will show what can be influenced as the truth.
Whether it's illusions or manipulative perception of influences- A.I., social apps/big tech, groups (political or not) or governments... a tunnel vision rabbit hole will present itself of algorithms, data's, misinformation, and hidden agendas trying to control and influence the narrative to a consumption of contents saying "what the way of life" is supposed to be,say,act, or think/feel without actually saying it in a grip hold content digital driven world right now.
This tactic is nothing knew that try to control the narrative for centuries. The archaic narrative of the ole "divide and conquer" method of it's 'us vs them or this the way it's always been or the fake woke cancel culture' to "witch hunts of bad vs good" comparative tactics whichever narrative it is spinning it creates divisions based upon hate,fear, misuse of power to the people when transparency and engagement of compassion plus learning from experiences of how we evolve and grow as a collective from the differences that make us who we are despite the history of our ancestors mistakes.
In the age of the technology influence,we have at present day have to remember that this is a tool. A tool to help and guide us to progress as a human society.
Not to tear us apart from our check boxes (if you think about it there are no boxes),categories,labels, statuses,or sense of identities that were given to us because limited beliefs/ideologies/ism's we have to define each on of us as who we are in exterior and what we were taught from assigned past teachings. Whether Technological or governmental or something not revealed to the masses.
We as human beings are holding ourselves back of the bigger picture of progress what life about and has to offer here on this earth.
Our current generation has a door to opportunities to create new foundations to not wipe out the old but acknowledge, learn from our experiences, and honor it to move forward as collective with solidify foundations of why the human experience is so much more important to learn,progress, and create a world beyond the digital version we are fantasizing about but not living in our present moment.
Our warfare is mental and emotional.
A tool that was supposed help/guide us to expand and explore learning about people, places, or things have become a weapon against us to choose real world vs digital when it was supposed to integrate as advancement to the human species.
We are the antidote of our toxicities.

The Dark Picture ~ Origins of the Ink Demon : Operation Drawcia Pt. 24 ~
[Inside Lain Iwakura's computer]
Solva : So this must be her computer. We gotta find the main source of whoever is linking with this data.
Lain A.I. : Beware any presence, and always remember check your password.
Solva : Relax, kid. I'm only social media, I got nothing prove useful to play computer games on the computer. But master told me that we mustn't share his master computer, it's highly secured and it can be only used once if give us permission to use it.
Lain A.I. : Personally, this is highly unstable to find that situation going on. Get a load of this.
Solva : What are you trying to see? (gasps in shock)
[Unrest - Hidenori Shoji]
Solva : What are heartless doing inside of your company? That's why you've been acting so strange?
Lain A.I. : Negative, I believe they're leaking some information about the Ink Demon's past, if they collect data from mine and Deathscythe's, Duo's robot will die.
Solva : Wait, Duo? That guy who pilots a giant robot, you creator is working with that Gundam Pilot. He's the star of smash-hit TV series Gundam Wing that Master Grim watched, you knew about this guy?
Lain A.I. : She was my creator's...well, umm, husbando for no reason, he's actually trying to take down some heartless who wanted to end DWMA, but he was wounded during battle with the Wired he just defeated and this Darkside Death heartless attempted to steal his heart and souls, so my creator rescued him in favor of saving his life. Trust, I won't forget that and I will always look after him.
Solva : Sounds like you saved someone's life after his original robot was obliterated in the show, So where did you kept Deathscythe Hell hidden, the upgraded version of his robot? Just don't forget, you had him at the facility on the east coast of Japan.
Lain A.I. : Thank you very much, Solva. I won't forget that.
Solva : You and your creator saved his life and he saved yours. Now then let's give these heartless to show them we mean business!
Lain A.I. : Right. I needed a weapon to come up with the solution. But I gained data to copy it.
[Cyber - Kenichi Tokoi, Fumie Kumatani]
Lain A.I. : Here goes. (uses Duo's data to create a replica of scythe)
Solva : Woah! You can copy data from others? No wait, share data with others! That's a pretty cool trick!
Lain A.I. : Hmph, precisely.
*SLASHING*
*DBZ SFX : SLICE*
Lain A.I : Huh, now you know why I was prepared to fight in Cyberspace.
Solva : HEY, WHAT PART ABOUT SHARING DATA WITH OTHERS I SAID, NOT COPY ONE'S DATA THAT ARE WEAPONS! Oh well, I guess it's double or nothing. You win some, you lose some.
*KICK*
Neoshadow : Ha! A little kid who uses data from others? She just another little pipsqueak to dealt with, I can take care of this harmless little...*SHING* !?
Lain A.I. : You were saying?
*DBZ SFX : SLASH+SLICE*
Neoshadow : (deathly grunts)
Lain A.I. : Nice try, but it'll take three seconds to take all on you down, but it's gonna be five seconds to start running before I'm gonna cut all of your damn heads off!
Solva : Okay, I think I'm getting this somewhere, but that's how you wanna play, (creates a scythe using data) I'll play it for you, real hard!
Lain A.I. : You ready to kick some heartless butt?
Solva : I am! It's about to get serious!
*DBZ SFX : SLASHING*
Solva : Ha! I never expected from a Cyberpunk girl, you a girl from the 90s ain't that different at all, I bet your creator had some mad skills to create you! Can you expose the truth about the secrets behind Soul Eater?
Lain A.I. : I would definitely expose Soul Eater's secrets, trying to leak into information to uncover the truth.
Solva : That's exactly what I was thinking! Anyway let's kill these bastards, with style!
"One hour of battling the heartless later..."
Solva : We gotta ditch these losers! There has to be a way to get there safely!
Lain A.I. : I hope you're guess is good as mine, Battling a bunch of heartless would be a waste of time, Time to activate denfesive barriers! (activates a barrier to surround the heartless, trapping them)
Solva : Smart thinking, kid! You sure got a defensive type in your system, kid?
Lain A.I. : Trust me, they won't last any seconds. They'll die by burning firewalls.
Solva : Firewalls? Are they really that strong, the heartless could be viruses, but when did you activate the Antivirus softwate?
Lain A.I. : I am an AI created by the same girl, but all of our copies of our selves.
Solva : Ehh, what? (solva is surrounded by a an army of Lain A.I.s)
Lain A.I. Clone : Hiya! (waving at Solva "hello?)
Solva : Heh. You never imagined, I was hoping that these guys were gonna go easy on a kid like you, but...not anymore.
Tron : Need any assistence for you, I could really use a help.
Solva : Look who it is, you're that Tron guy.
Tron : Why don't we team up with a third person to require any assistance? After all, we're programs destined to protect Data.
Lain A.I. : Looks you sure have good timing, of course I require any assistance, really would like a help with you!
Neoshadow : You two! I'm tired of playing games with a bunch little pipsqueaks like you all the time! Now then, I'm gonna go make you obsolete when I open a file of whoop-ass on the both of you!
(Tron throws his disc weapon to attack the heartless)
Neoshadow : !? (disappears)
Solva : That's a "Can of Whoop-ass" to you.
Lain A.I. : Hmph, they don't scare me, I scare them a lot too, you know. Nobody messes a little lady like me, I'm always one step closer to defend Duo's machine!
Sora : Tron!
Tron : Sora! Sorry you're a bit little late!
Sora : Easy time, easy doesn't. I'm Sora, you must be the girl working for the reaper. (firmly shake hands with Solva)
Solva : Solva, girl who works with Seto and primetime apprentice of Master Grim the Hedgehog.
Lain A.I. : And I am an A.I. of my creator, Lain Iwakura.
Sora : So I see you got on the same foot as always, just don't forget, I'm not the only kid whoever knows about hearts, but So do you, you help Seto to make herself the newly elected Shinigami. Seto, is one genius and she's a great athletic girl. You used to go the same school as you do back in our daily lives of school before we even dropped out.
Solva : I usually to be at school with Seto, even though we usually come on the same school-terms. Such as daily news read. I even think about originated from the Needless universe before Seto and I were isekai'd into Real World AU.
Sora : Really? That's great news to hear! Hear this in the game!
Solva : Yeah.
Neoshadow : You'll regret this, Girlie! Die now, p*ssy!
(A neoshadow attempts to assassinate her, but a FOmar kills it behind)
Solva : Woah! That dodged a bullet, I'm seeing things or I'm looking a randomly person in front of us?
Sora : Uhh, thanks?
Calus : No need to thank me, but I do appreciate your kind.
Sora : Gee. We would likely to know about you stranger, the name's Sora and what you're name?
Solva : Uhh, guys. I think I know who that is...
Lain AI : Oh no...Calus.
Solva : Calus? Calus who?
"Calus : FOmar of the Cybernetic World."
Calus : Perhaps I would do the talking for you. Where is Elly?
Solva : Elly? As in Elly the FOnewearl, she retired that class and had to go on to be a mission operator to EP2. I hate to break it to ya, but Elly's just--
*rumbling*
Calus : No! You give me Elly, now!
Solva : Okay! Okay! Please, don't do that anymore! Are you trying to kill us!? Elly Person's coming to meet you at Gal Da Val islands, but I believe that a girl named Maka is coming to the central Control tower to meet her sister! She's dealing with some kind of machine that no one would beat it!
Calus : Wise decision, I'll meet with that girl outside this cybernetic prison of mine. Show me the way.

pairing(s): jungkook x reader
summary: There was a time where you would be out partying, getting drunk and fucking up a storm. But you’re different now. You stopped drinking. Now you’re the one waiting for Kim Taehyung to call so you can pick him up from his drunken adventures. There’s just one small hitch –  Taehyung’s roommate, Jeon Jungkook, offering you a mojito.
warnings: rated M (18+) for language, (a little) alcohol consumption; slight crack at the start lol; smut (fem reader, thigh riding, handjob, fingering, m-receiving oral); non-idol!AU; Jungkook is a tempter and he knows it; noona!reader and you’re a nympho, whoops
--
“I don’t drink.”
“Oh.”
Jeon Jungkook blinked at you, holding out the mojito.
“But… I made it.”
“That’s true. But I don’t drink.”
He pursed his lips and frowned.
“You sure?” he asked, putting on his best puppy eyes.
“Yup.”
“I promise it’s not poisoned.”
You laughed, jangling your car keys. “I have to drive later. But also, I do not drink.”
He nodded and took a sip of it. “It’s really smooth.”
You smiled and went back to your phone. Kim Taehyung was supposed to text you in a bit so you could pick him up from a party. In exchange, he let you borrow his computer to play League of Legends since he had a better PC and internet than your apartment. There was an event going on, so you had to grind games. You were getting tired though and you didn’t want to be in the middle of a game when Taehyung called half-drunk.
Now you were sitting on the couch, as Taehyung’s roommate Jeon Jungkook stood there and took sips from his mojito. Just standing there, thinking. He did that a lot, drifting off into space randomly. You figured it was some sort of weird habit. He was wearing a striped black-and-white turtleneck and black leather pants. His cheek-length black hair was pinned back on the right side, revealing his undercut. It seemed like he was going out, but he had spent all night in his room before going to the kitchen and then appearing with said mojito. Why? Honestly, you had no idea.
“Are you going somewhere?” you asked, looking up at him from the sofa.
Jungkook snapped out of it and stared at you. “What?”
You pointed to his outfit. “You’re dressed all fancy.”
Jungkook looked down. “Oh. Uh, not really. I was going to go with Taehyung tonight but I had an assignment to finish that I forgot about. I never changed.”
You nodded. Hm.
Okay.
“How do you know Taehyung-ssi, anyway, noona?”
“I sucked his dick once.”
Jungkook nearly dropped his glass.
You calmly scrolled through Instagram. You flickered your eyes up to see Jungkook’s shocked face and his red ears.
“I’m kidding,” you chuckled, seeing Jungkook blink rapidly to collect himself. “I used to be the Biology lab TA. He’d ask for help a lot. And he plays League, so we ended up hanging out. Also, I have a car.”
“R-right…” Jungkook crab-walked to the armchair next to the sofa and sat down, placing his drink on the table. “Right, yeah.”
You two sat in silence, rather comfortable for you, rather awkward for Jungkook. You didn’t come here that often, but it was always only to borrow Taehyung’s internet or to pick him up from random outings. It was never a big deal to you, as Taehyung was always nice and bought you food later as thanks. As for Jeon Jungkook, he was just kind of there. Introverted, quiet, sometimes piped up to inquire about something when he was curious. You weren’t exactly talkative, but he didn’t bother you either, so it was never too memorable.
“What’s on your shirt?” Jungkook asked, tilted his head.
You lifted your phone to give him a better look at the nine-pointed star and bleeding goat head of your long-sleeved black shirt. “It’s an American metal band.”
Jungkook blinked at you. “You listen to metal?”
You put your phone back down. “Yup.”
You suddenly remembered your legs were wide open because you were wearing your black velvet pants and they were hot as fuck. Wearing these was a mistake. You closed your legs and settled them on the couch. They had been expensive though, so you felt like you had to wear them to get your money’s worth. Damnnit. Why did you buy these again?
“Why don’t you drink alcohol?”
You closed Instagram and opened Twitter. “Because I become sexually uninhibited.”
Silence.
You looked up to see Jungkook trying to process what you said, imaginary question marks popping on top of his head.
“It means I fuck anything with legs, Jungkook.”
His brown doe eyes went wide. “W-what?”
You shrugged. “Yeah, you know, one time one of my friends caught me in a room with my clothes off blowing three guys at once, so I figured, hmm, maybe I shouldn’t drink anymore. That ever happen to you?” you added nonchalantly.
Jungkook shook his head so quickly his long black hair floated in the air.
“Huh. Well, me neither,” you chuckled. “I was just kidding.”
Jungkook looked like a mother who was trying to process all of their child’s sex escapades. “That’s good then. Whew,” he remarked with an awkward laugh. He took another long, hasty sip of his mojito.
“It was four guys.”
Jungkook nearly choked. He snapped his head up to see your shoulders shaking as you tried to contain your snickering, hiding behind your phone. He glared at you, clearing his throat sharply.
“You shouldn’t lie, noona,” he muttered, frowning.
You lowered your phone and straightened. “I was laughing at your expression. I wasn’t lying.”
He narrowed his eyes, disbelieving. “About what part?” he said warily.
“I do not drink because I will literally try to fuck anyone in my immediate vicinity when I’m drunk,” you stated in a matter-of-fact tone. “You can imagine it’s not very good for my sexual health or my social life as I stumble out of a party covered in cum of four guys I don’t know.”
Jungkook was in the middle of drinking his mojito and swallowed so hard the entire drink disappeared into his throat.
“What?” he wheezed out, slamming his chest with his fist.
You put your hands up. “It happens.”
Jungkook looked as if he as going to pass out, either from the image or from drinking too fast. You picked up your phone again and set Taehyung a text.
Are you dead? I think I killed your roommate.
Jungkook shook his head vigorously. “You must be joking.”
“Nope, that actually happened. Ask Taehyung.”
Jungkook looked taken aback. “What?” he said again in the same panicked tone.
“I told you someone found me.”
You swore that if this was the Wild West, a tumbleweed would have drifted by. Jungkook looked as white as a sheet. You calmly plucked the glass from his hand since it seemed like he was rapidly losing focus of his surroundings.
“How… That’s so dangerous!” Jungkook sputtered, seemingly coming back to life.
“Indeed, which is why I am sitting here right now and not piss drunk in a random bedroom in someone’s house,” you replied calmly, waiting for Taehyung to text you back. “See, this is why you don’t offer me a drink because then I would try to fuck you. You’ve been spared.”
Jungkook gave you a very strange expression and suddenly crossed one leg over the other. You rubbed your eyes. Hopefully Taehyung didn’t stay out too late. You were getting sleepy.
“Well, you still have to be attracted to them, r-right?” Jungkook commented, looking away and biting his knuckle.
You didn’t look up from your phone.
“I suppose. I don’t really have a type, and when you’re drunk you only look at the parts you’re attracted to anyway and forget about anything else,” you responded, chuckling at a cute cat picture. “At least you’re attractive, so if I met you at a party drunk, I’d fuck you, easy.” Owls could sit cross-legged? What? You squinted at the meme, trying to see if it was Photoshopped.
Silence. Absolute fucking silence.
You decided that it seemed unlikely the photo of this sitting owl was Photoshopped and lifted your head to see Jungkook staring at you like you had three heads.
“What?”
“You’re…” Jungkook chuckled awkwardly. “Just kidding, right?”
You blinked. “What? About you being attractive?” You pointed to him. “No. I’m not. You’re handsome, Jungkook.”
You saw his ears turning red once again. “Ahaha… but you wouldn’t fuck me, right?”
“I would.”
A crow cawed loudly outside the window.
Jungkook wasn’t blinking. Was he dead? Was Taehyung going to come home to a statue of a roommate? You tilted your head and waved your hand in front of his face. Jungkook didn’t move. Maybe he went into shock.
“Jungkook? You alive in there?” you asked, waving your hand some more.
He blinked rapidly, startling you. “I… I…”
Okay, now he was scaring you. Was he broken? Did Taehyung have an A.I. for a roommate and not tell you? Taehyung, please come home and oil your Jungkook, you thought dryly as you watched him scrunch up his nose, as if he was trying to stretch his face muscles out.
“You surprised me,” Jungkook sputtered, nervously rubbing the back of his head. “I just… there’s no way…”
“That I would fuck you?” you replied, completely chill. He turned even redder. You placed a hand on your cheek and rested your elbow on the couch. “Why not? You’re cute, have nice fashion sense, seem like a decent guy.”
Yeah, Jungkook was definitely breaking down because he did not seem to know how to form proper sentences anymore. He was like a fish out of water, opening and closing his mouth awkwardly.
“But, I couldn’t though.” You cut off his attempts to fathom a thought. He stiffened, his doe eyes shifting to you. “Because you’re Taehyung’s friend, not a stranger. I try not to mess up my friendships, you know?”
He swallowed thickly. “R-right.”
You removed your hand from your cheek and cracked your neck, leaning back against the plushy couch arm. Sheesh, where was Taehyung? You could have played an entire ARAM in the time he was messing about. He told you around this time, but perhaps he had run late. Oh well.
“But… if he doesn’t know…”
Hold up.
You lifted your head, slowly, slowly to Jungkook’s nervous stare and shifty eyes.
“I mean, if Taehyung doesn’t know… doesn’t count, right?” he asked innocently.
His dark hair obscured part of his angular face, pink lips slightly parted. His eyes were watching your every move like a hawk, brows furrowed slightly. The living room light reflected off his glowing tan skin and the glossiness of his lips.
If you don’t stop looking like that, you thought. There’s going to be consequences.
“Let’s not tread dangerous waters here,” you said quietly.
One of his dark eyebrows quirked upwards ever-so-slightly. “How is it dangerous? Taehyung’s going to call you when he needs to be picked up. He’s going to see the inside of your car before he even sees the inside of this apartment.”
Uh oh. Now your heart was beating fast. Fuck. Fuckity fuck. Alcohol made you sexually uninhibited because you really, really enjoyed having sex. Far too much. But you couldn’t go through life fucking everything with legs (or without them – to be honest, it wasn’t that strict of a requirement) because, hello, societal standards? Social appropriateness of maybe not fucking the cashier at your favorite coffee spot or your friend’s roommate in his apartment? You know, you had to be a productive human being and not a damn nympho. Wasn’t like you were getting paid for it.
Jungkook lifted his leg from his knee and spread them, tilting his chin upward.
Oh ho?
Well, now you knew why Jungkook crossed his legs, because a very obvious bulge was struggling in his leather pants. Where was embarrassed Jungkook? Shocked Jungkook? The Jungkook that was stunned at your crude words and straightforward manner?
Give him back. This is too much.
Perhaps you had been a little too frank for once – ah, who are you kidding, you’d probably been in this situation before.
Jungkook’s right hand slid up his thigh, long fingers with tiny, delicate tattoos, tracing the contours of his muscular quads. You tilted your head as he danced his fingers along his inner thigh before spreading them over his bulge and cupping it, stroking slowly through the thick fabric as he licked his lips.
“I am not drunk enough for this,” you muttered.
“Are you scared?” Jungkook asked softly, still palming himself through his pants. “Scared Taehyungie will be mad at you?” You felt a muscle in your face twitch. It seemed that he knew he was getting the better of you, because his voice was dropping low, sultry. You did not like being challenged, because well… you always tried to rise to the challenge. To your detriment, sometimes.
“Is Taehyung the boss of you?”
Fuck.
You snapped your head at him, narrowing your eyes.
“No one is the boss of me,” you replied icily.
Jungkook softened his features, laying his head back in the armchair. His hair curled around his cheek as his breathing deepened. His teeth caught his lower lip and gradually released it, the pink flesh popping back into place. The tiny mole under his lip trembled.
“Then do whatever you want, noona.”
Your eyes narrowed to slits, nails digging into your palms.
“What’s gotten into you?”
Jungkook’s voice was a smokey wisp, soaking into you.
“Just imagining you on your knees, naked, covered in cum…” He groaned, rocking his hips into his hand. “Sounds so fucking hot.”
Well. It had been. It was fucking hot, it made you wet just thinking about that night. It had felt amazing as the cum dripped down your skin, covering you, making you filthy with your sinful lust, so delicious and raw and dirty that right now you sat up, spreading your legs again because the space between your thighs was too fucking hot, too fucking much. Stupid velvet pants.
You got up from the couch, eyes still on Jungkook, his pupils dilating, tongue tracing the outskirts of his lips. He leaned his head back a little and moaned your name, long and lustful, eyelids fluttering. His dark hair brushed against his brows.
“Stop,” you breathed, reaching down to push your shirt up. Your fingers hovered over the button of your pants. Too hot. Too fucking hot. “You’re doing this on purpose. You’re tempting me.”
The side of his lips curved upward into a lazy smirk.
“I am.”
You placed your phone on the coffee table. The sound was on. Taehyung still hadn’t texted you. You would hear it vibrate against the wood. You took another step, unbuttoning your pants. Fuck. Why was Jungkook so sexy? You could resist if he wasn’t so damn hot.
“Don’t want you to think…” You swallowed; throat tight. “Don’t want you to think I’m treating you like a sex object.” The zipper of your pants slid down. “Because you seem like a nice guy.”
He smiled, undoing his pants too, sighing as the zipper freed his bulge.
“If I was your sex object…” Jungkook purred, pushing his tight leather pants down, down. “Even for only a little bit, I wouldn’t hold it against you, noona.”
Now your velvet pants were being peeled off your hips, leaving you in your seamless black panties. Oh, fuck, his thighs. Muscular and powerful, skin so pretty you wanted to touch. His eyes slid down your body.
“Holy shit, your thighs.”
Seemed like you both had the same idea. You climbed onto Jungkook’s lap, straddling one of his thighs. Now he was close to you, smelling like fresh linen, presence so warm and powerful you were being drugged by it. Your hands slid onto his shoulders, gripping them finger by finger, breathing hard as he tensed them. Slowly, you sat down on his left thigh, gasping as your soaked, clothed heat touched him. He grinned, flexing it under you. His own hand slid up your thigh, squeezing it, watching his fingers sink into your softness.
“Now, this,” Jungkook breathed, staring into your eyes. “This is a sexy body.”
Your heart was beating so fast, so fast. He watched you closely, eyes so dark that you felt like you were drowning in them. You rolled your hips into his thigh, hissing as you became wetter. He flexed the muscle under you, hard and unforgiving, sitting back and letting you rub yourself against it. You smeared your juices into his skin, stimulating your clit, inhaling sharply. Jungkook was still clutching your thigh, his large hand pressed into you.
“Is that enough for you?” he drawled, his other hand sliding up to land on your other thigh. “Is that all you want from me?”
Your eyes flickered to his playful, daring brown orbs.
“There’s no time…” you muttered.
“Take off your panties,” he nudged.
He placed his hands on your waist and lifted you up. You bit your lip, uncertain.
“Noona, I want you to feel good.”
He slipped one finger on the side of your black panties and pushed down. You took the other side and pushed them down, raising your legs to pull out one and then the other. Your panties fluttered to the ground. Jungkook’s gaze on you as you lowered again, bare and dripping, onto his thick thigh. Oh, holy hell. He tensed it and pressed your hips down, grinding his thigh onto your slopping wet pussy. You moaned, grasping his forearms through his turtleneck, feeling the strength in them, the hardness. You closed your eyes, humping his thigh, lost in bliss.
“Can you cum like that?” You felt Jungkook lean forward, lips brushing against yours. “Cum you cum just by rubbing yourself on me?”
Tiny, rigid nods. “If you... kiss me.”
He groaned as he felt your opening tense on his skin. “I thought you would never ask.”
And then his lips were on yours, soft, delicate. Sweet, erotic kisses contrasting with how hard you were fucking his leg, his tongue dancing in the periphery of yours, dodging you playfully as you whined, clutching him tighter. He pressed you down harder, sliding his tongue into your mouth. You shuddered, wetness pooling at his kisses, your core tightening as he whispered your name into your lips.
“Your body is so fucking delectable,” his murmured. “So sexy, it’s sinful.”
You clenched your jaw as you basically rammed your hips into his thigh, slippery and hard, your clit throbbing with need.
“Cum for me, noona.” You could feel his lips form the words as he kissed you, awe in his voice. “Cum on my thigh.”
You dug your nails into his clothed arms and shut your eyes, moaning his name, feeling the strings inside you snap, pleasure waterfalling into you as you came, squelching onto his skin, so viscous and thick that it added to the lubrication, your swollen clit throbbing. Your eyelids fluttered as his hands pressed you down, grinding your hips into his muscle so you could ride your high, extend it until you were melting, hands falling from his arms. He cradled you gently, your chest heaving with effort.
“J-Jungkook…”
“Mhm?”
You cracked your eyes open. “Has my phone made any noise?”
He shook his head. His dark hair covered part of his left eye. “No, noona.”
“Ah.”
Maybe Taehyung was getting laid. Good for him.
“I’m going to touch you now,” you stated. To the point.
Jungkook grinned.
You reached down to his black boxer briefs and yanked them down, freeing his cock and balls. He lifted his legs a little and you pushed them down, but he took your hand, placing it on his semi-hard cock. He moaned as your fingers wrapped around him.
“Do you want to take it off?” you asked quietly, referring to his underwear.
“No,” Jungkook replied tightly, cupping his hand around yours, using your hand to stroke himself a few times. “I can’t wait anymore.”
You nudged his hand aside and began your pace. He leaned back, gasping softly. Your grip wasn’t what it used to be. Carpal tunnel was a bitch. Still, you furrowed your brow, concentrating, He swelled in your hand, pre-cum leaking at the red tip dripping onto your fingers. You stopped for a moment to coat your palm with it, bringing it to your mouth and licking your hand, moaning at his taste. Jungkook shivered, watching your saliva spread all over before returning to his cock, adding to the lubrication.
He pressed his head into the back of the armchair, hips rising as you started again, jaw tense.
“I’m not as good as before,” you gritted out. “My wrist–”
“It’s perfect,” Jungkook interjected. “Fuck, your hand is perfect.”
He was rock hard in your hand as you jacked him off. You snuck a glance at him. His hands were on his face, combing through his dark hair, eyes closing, mouth open as he moaned, rutting into your palm.
He was just so, so sensual that it was driving you insane, his noises making you wet. There was something feral about it, the way he looked at you through his lashes.
“Can I finger you?” he pleaded. “Please.”
Your hips were raised to get a good angle, your arousal already dripping down your thigh.
“Of course. Touch me, Jungkook.”
He lowered his hands, hair all over his face, staring at you through the veil. His fingers slid up your thigh, slipping in between. Dipping in, moaning as he touched your wetness. You sucked in a breath, feeling his fingertip graze your swollen clit. Your grip tightened.
“Jungkook.” Your eyes found his, glazed with lust. “You can be rougher with me. If you want.”
He swallowed, Adam’s apple bobbing. “Don’t want to hurt you…”
You smirked.
“You forget who you’re talking to.”
He pushed two fingers into you, feeling you suck him in as you stroked him, smile still on your lips. Jungkook grinned, pressing his thumb against your clit and rubbed it as he began to thrust his fingers into you, matching your pace, the two of you focused on getting each other off, breath mixing between your bodies.
“Noona?”
“Yeah?” you panted, whimpering at his roughness, his fingers scissoring in you, stretching your walls as you squeezed back, faster and faster.
“Wanna cum in your mouth.”
You chuckled as he shoved a third finger into you, punishing your clit repeatedly, so full, so good, it was making you crazy, but you had to focus, you had to get him off.
“This is a weird angle.”
Jungkook suddenly pulled his fingers out and pinched your clit, making you hiss and your legs shake, pained whimpers clawing from your throat.
“Do it.” His voice was a low growl. “Do it and I’ll reward you.”
You slid off the chair, still stroking his cock, narrowing your eyes at him. Jungkook looked down at you, smirk on his pretty pink lips, whispering your name. You removed your hand and replaced it with your mouth. Fuck. He sighed, hand coming up to tangle in your hair, not quite pressing you down but holding you there, his taste coating your tongue, his hard length throbbing in your mouth. You moaned onto his cock and his hips trembled, his long bangs covering his left eye.
Ugh, the way he looked at you. Your felt your pussy clench, demanding his cock.
Instead, you began to move your head up and down, soft lips around him, mouth tight around the head and length. His hand stayed there, moving with you, firm, reminding you that you couldn’t stop, that you had to keep going until he came. You set a nice, fast, tight pace, already knowing he was close, hearing his breathy groans, repeating your name over and over.
“Always thought you were fuckable,” Jungkook panted out. “Always wanted you in my bed.” He pressed his head into the armchair, shutting his eyes. “Couldn’t figure out how to convince you, couldn’t figure out how to tell you that I wanted you so very much.”
You tightened your throat around him and he dug his nails into your scalp, breathing shallow and tight.
“Gonna cum, noona, fuck, gonna cum down that pretty throat of yours.”
Jungkook squeezed his eyes shut and groaned, his orgasm filling your mouth, coating your tongue, slipping down your throat. You gulped and he yelped at the sensitivity, whimpering as you softly lapped at the head, cleaning him off. Drinking it all, intoxicated with it, so satisfied swallowing it all.
Oh, how you loved sex.
You slowly removed your mouth crawling back up, no longer aware of your obligations to Taehyung, only interested in brushing Jungkook’s hair aside and kissing him deep, moaning as his tongue forced into your mouth, tasting himself. His hand slipped back into your folds and three fingers deep into you, fucking you. You whined into his mouth, telling him how good he was, telling him how good he felt inside you, telling him you how much you wanted his cock, his beautiful, thick cock jammed all the way inside you.
The door lock clicked and neither of you heard anything.
“Ah, I managed to hitch a ride with Jim– WHAT THE FUCK?”
Taehyung’s deep voice boomed throughout the apartment and you were still making out with Jungkook’s face as his fingers thrust into your slopping wet pussy, spreading you out. You whimpered as Jungkook broke the kiss, pushing you against his body as Taehyung slammed the door and marched in, kicking off his shoes carelessly.
“Fucking shit, why are you like this, fucking everything in your sight, you absolute–”
You turned your head, somewhat ashamed, feeling somewhat sorry – but not that sorry, because Jungkook’s fingers were still inside you. Taehyung’s strong features were twisted in annoyance, but he wasn’t looking at you.
He was scowling at Jungkook.
“I told you,” Taehyung said sharply, sweeping his lush fur coat back to reveal his black turtleneck and black slacks, pointing an accusing finger at Jungkook. “Not to get her started, because she is a horny seductress.”
You raised your eyebrows at him. “Excuse me?”
Taehyung ticked his head, looking down at you. “Am I wrong?”
You pouted. “Well, no.”
“And,” he added, directing his attention at you. “Why would you not ask me to fuck first? I’ve seen you naked hundreds of times!”
Jungkook raised his eyebrows. “Hundreds?”
Taehyung ignored him, leaning down and taking your chin. Brown eyes a mix of angry and amused, observing your lust. “I am offended that I respected you and you’re sitting in my roommate’s lap instead of mine.” His breath seemed like alcohol.
Your lips parted, heart beating fast. “S-sorry, Tae… You’re just always dragging me out of weird stuff that I thought you were disgusted by me…”
Taehyung brought his face close to you. You loved his voice. So deep, so intense, so heavy. It seemed to shake your soul with bass.
“I’ve wanted you on my dick the second I saw you.”
And then he kissed you, hard and full, as Jungkook’s fingers began to move inside you once again.

This just a get the though out of my head post .So I might do something with this later I was just bored and kind of want write something about murder drones. But I wanted to  write something with Mercenaries as the main antagonists because I always loved the though a group of antagonists  just in it for the money and for the fun of it  .It also allows me to write two lesser antagonists that I always wanted to write like a Hivemind that slow infected those around them and a Macho man like character who was just as Brutal as he is muscular . 
On a space Station  owned by JC Jencon in Spaaaaace . Two company lawyers walked down a hallway towards a meeting room
“ Are you sure they’ll get the job done?” The first lawyer asked  
“From what i’ve read on their mission reports  yes I definitely believe they can reclaim our mission assets.” The second lawyer replied as the two walked into The meeting room and saw a Man of Mongolian descent wearing a very fine business suit standing on the left side of a meeting table
“Hello my name is Kingston and i am here o the behalf of my employer.” Kingston said as he walked towards the to JCJ lawyers and put a metal hand out for a shack  
“ Yes we were expecting you I'm Alex Quinton and my associate here is “ Alex said as he took Kingstons hand 
“ Aster Mathew“ Aster said as he took Kingston hand after 
“ Now lets get to business “ Kingston said as he took a seat at the meeting table  
“ Yes lets “ Aster replied as he and Alex sat down
“ So what has caused the JCJ to call the Crusher Corp “
“ Well seeing as you may heard about twenty three years back an exoplanet known as Copper-9. It had a bit of catastrophic Planetary extinction event. Do to a accidental Core collapsing that caused massive amounts of debris to be sent into the planets Atmosphere mixed in with cores rapid lost of heat caused a planet wide Flash freeze     ” Alex said 
“ That is an understatement “ Kingston replied 
“ Well after all human life on Copper-9  was gone. It turned out that all the Worker drones survived the planet flask freeze. An do to their Ai they started making lives of their own. But we needed their A.I’s back. So we sent several squads Disassembly Drones to wipe out the works reclaim the A.i’s and then Die from their bodies over heating do to lack of oil. After that we’d send a recovery team to reclaim the Black boxes of each drop pod and get all our A.I Back” Aster said
“ And everything was going to plan well until team 023 defected killed of their squad leader and then converted several more Disassembly drones after we sent eight  more squads to hand it “
“ So do you know what caused this Robo-rebellion and how main worker and disassembly do we have to deal with?” Kingston asked 
“ 12 disassembly drones and the number of worker drones unknow but we do know three location that house huge numbers of W.Ds  “ Alex said as he turned in a Holo-screen that showed a old oil Rig that had a Metal Dome built around the top of it. Followed by another picture of a Military fortress and the last one show a picture was of a open bunker door and in the picture was dozens of worker drones walking into it with make shift carts made from old cars carrying supplies and other things and looking down on caravan the was a male disassembly Drone and a female worker drones  
“ Who are the two watching?” Kingston asked knowing those two are the leaders just by seeing them
“Those two are the bane of the company . the Disassembly drone is serial designation N and As for the worker Drone we don’t know the audio on are scout drone don’t work on world do electrical interference messing with them. But from what we have collected her name is Uzi and she is the main problem. Do you wish to know more .”
Kingston looked at his desk and saw a blue light turn on “No i clearly know the  targets that’s all we need. Now  with that out of the way. How about our payment and our requests for supplies ?” 
“ Yes two trillion credits, five hundred Worker drones programed for ship repair    two thousand blank slate worker Drones and forty two crates of Tediore fire arms, twenty two crates Dahl fire arms, Ten crates of Vladof assault rifles four crates of S.M.G and two crates Torgue explosives. Is their anything else you wish to request.”
“ No that will be it “
“ I do have to ask why so many blank slaters.?’ Aster asked 
“ One of our commander’s like to be in control of multiple bodies at once the bigger the amount the happier he is. Now if you don’t have anymore question i have work to do “ Kingston said 
“ No and thank you for doing business with us and I wish you good luck on this Mission .” Alex said
“ Good I hope we work together again you do pay us the best “ Kingston asked as he ended the call. Kingston sat alone in his office for a few seconds before a another call rang on his holo-phone and without missing a beat he answered it. Which caused a Older Hispanic man wearing a Combat Vest and thick Cargo pants “ Hello Boss “
“ Hello Kingston it is good to see  the deal gone through?” The Crusher Corp leader said as he had been watching the call 
“ Yes It is  Mr. Bassarisk.” Kingston said 
“ Good I’ve already sent Hive and El Automaton to the world a head of time  “
“ Sir with all do respect Sending two of are most brutal commanders to a simple Exoplanet seems a bit extreme is it not ?”  Kingston asked 
“ I agree with you on that but the Exoplanet is hostel and there are rogue disassembly drones on planet so we need to be brutal and it’s also fun to see whose stagey is better Hives infiltrate and infect or El Automaton Simple yet effective brute force .But all that aside we need to be careful Because if a worker drone could cause several  Disassembly drones to rebel i wonder what else they can do and if this N is as dangerous as his files says he is will have to keep our guard up. Anyone who can effective play the idiot for as long as he can is someone to fear “ Bassarisk said

Little Informant (pt. 2)
Warnings: Violence, blood, language
Words: 2.1k+
---------------------------
You had taken your time in getting back home, the fifteen minute walk turned to two hours when you decided to take a stroll around town. It was late, too late for a frail girl like you to be roaming the streets of New York all by yourself. But you had to clear your mind. Besides, with your self-defense skills along with the trusty butterfly knife you always had with you at all times, you were pretty confident.
However, when you finally arrived back at your apartment, you had noticed several things out of place; the dust on the right side of the door frame, two feet above the floor, had a gap, you were sure you hadn’t touched it; the nail of one of the panels on the creaky floorboard was slanted, someone had tripped on it.
There was an intruder in your house.
You slowly grabbed your knife from your jacket pocket before reaching for your keys, intentionally shaking it in your fingers. You turned your keys and opened the door with your left hand, the knife on your right, ready to fight. When no one ambushed you, you crouched down like you were going to untie your shoes when in fact you reached for the gun you had stored below the shoe cabinet.
You replaced the knife in your hold with the handgun, holding it firmly with both of your hands before peeking out from the corner of your doorway. Sure enough, stood a man about six feet tall dressed in all black in your poor excuse of a kitchen, you noticed he was holding a pistol of his own in one hand and a framed picture of you and your father in the other.
“You do look like him, you know?” He said, acknowledging your presence.
“Who are you?” You had your gun trained on him. Your gaze unwavering, despite your heart trying to beat out of your ribcage.
“You can consider me an old family friend.” The man placed the frame back to the countertop as he turned to you.
“Why are you here?” You stood your ground at the front doorway as he approached you slowly, his gun in hand.
“When you opened that laptop, it sent a signal to us. We thought Rumlow had come back from the dead so I offered to go.” He said, ever so casually. “Then I found these photos and, I gotta say, I’m quite surprised. I never took your father as- well, a father.”
He was only a few feet in front of you now, your gun pointed straight to his chest. “I’m gonna have to ask you to leave.”
“If you’re anything like Brock, you could be a great asset to us, Y/N-”
“How do you know my name?”
“Perhaps, you might want to consider joining us? Your father would be proud.”
“I’m not an asset,” you gritted out. “And I’m nothing like him.”
This perked your intruder’s attention, his head tilted slightly to the side. “Oh?”
You realized then that you might have spilled something you shouldn’t have. You felt your heart drop to your stomach, your hands struggling to keep your weapon steady.
“Do tell me, Y/N. What did you do with the information from that laptop?” His tone was now much sharper, accusing.
You searched your brain to try and find a believable lie, something that wouldn’t put your life in danger. In your moment of silence, the man in front of you grew impatient and furious.
“Where were you just now?”
“None of your business.” You finally said, your voice giving you away with a crack.
“What a shame.” The man sighed, bowing his head to the floor for a second. “I hope Brock’s gonna forgive me for this one.” Then he raised his gun at you, with anger in his eyes.
Time seemed to slow down when you pulled your trigger. However, the man managed to avoid it at the last second, the bullet only hitting his shoulder. The force pushed him back and he let go of his gun, his good hand holding his wound.
“Little shit.” He cursed before charging at you.
You re-aimed your gun, but due to the close distance between the two of you, he successfully pushed it away. He used his whole body weight to knock you back to the wall, resulting in you losing your grip of the pistol in your hand. You grabbed your knife from your pocket, forcing the butt to his head, making him groan as he stumbled ever so slightly. You pushed him back by the injured shoulder, your thumb digging in to the bullet wound. You then kneed him in the stomach, your dominant hand twirling open the knife and stabbing him in the back. You pushed his body off of you with all your might and tried to make a run for it.
You only managed to get a couple of steps away when he grabbed your foot. You tripped and fell face first to the floor. You groaned, your head was spinning and you could feel blood oozing from your nose. The intruder dragged himself up with his good arm while you tried to collect yourself. You still had the knife in your hand so you tried to land another stab to his leg, but he blocked it, grabbing your hand and twisting it so you’d drop the weapon. But what you lack in size and power, you made up with agility -when he yanked your arm up, you used the momentum to help you jump up and straddle his neck with your two legs, your arms holding him in a choke hold. He tried to get you off but between the bullet and the stab wound, he was already losing a lot of blood. He stumbled around, crashing through your coffee table and one of your bookshelves. At one point he went close enough to the TV stand where you had an old glass vase on top. You grabbed the vase and swung it to his face, it broke and he fell unconscious with you below him. You were sure you must have heard a crack, but with the adrenaline numbing your pain you couldn't tell if it was his bone or yours.
------------
When you noticed he wasn’t moving, you took a second to collect your breath. Eventually, you pushed him off and got up, grabbing your knife and both guns before running off.
“And we believe the kid?” Clint crossed his arms. He stared at the back of his teammate’s head, almost seeing the cogs in his skull turning.
“Yes, I know she was telling the truth.” Steve said, his voice an octave lower than it usually is. “I could feel it.”
“No offense, Cap. But when it comes to the sake of the planet’s security, I would rather not go on gut feeling.”
“Have you considered maybe this is just your guilt speaking?” Natasha chimed into the conversation from the other side of the table.
Steve was silent for a moment. “It’s not,” he finally said, although it seemed like he was trying to convince himself more than anything.
“As much as I hate to say this, but I think the oldman’s right,” Tony sat back down on the closest chair to the front of the room. “I don’t think she was lying, at least not about this.”
“I say, it is better to be safe than sorry.” Vision spoke up, his gaze not leaving the files displayed on the holograms.
“He’s got a point. We have this information- the location of everything. Why don’t we go see for ourselves.” Rhodes added.
When no one interjected, the room took it as an agreement. Tony was about to tell FRIDAY to display the closest base that they could locate when the A.I. had another idea.
“Tony, there has been a 911 call from the address you told me to look out for.”
This got the man on his feet. “When?”
“Just a few seconds ago. The neighbors reported hearing gunshots and loud crashes. The police are on their way, they should arrive in eight to ten minutes.”
“We can get there in two.”
----------------
They got to your apartment in exactly eighty four seconds. Tony, along with Steve, Clint, Sam and Natasha rushed past some of your curious neighbors and arrived in front of your door. Your keys were still in the door knob when Natasha pushed the door open. Obviously the first thing they noticed was the situation of your living room. And the unconscious man on the floor.
Clint approached the bleeding man, checking for a pulse. “He’s alive, barely.”
Natasha tossed him a pair of handcuffs and the archer gathered the unknown man’s hands before securing him. She then entered a nearby closet in an unsuccessful attempt of finding the apartment’s owner.
The rest of them looked around the ransacked apartment trying to get an idea of what happened or who this man was. Steve picked up one of the photographs that was shattered on the floor, the one your intruder was looking at earlier. There was a pit forming in his stomach as he processed what he was seeing. You’d taken the photograph at your middle school father-daughter dance. He was always at work, but that day he had taken a day off to attend the event for you, even took you shopping to get a nice pastel pink dress and a tie for him to match. You grinned in that photo, unintentionally showing off your braces; your father had his hand around your frame, a gentle yet charismatic smile adorning his lips.
Sam went further to the apartment, ending up in your room. He took in the decorations -or rather lack thereof. Your walls contrasted those of the living room, aside from one old poster of a band Sam didn’t recognize, there was only a bed in the centre of the room. He stepped out of the room and entered another. There was more personality, more life, in this room. Ironic really, seeing as it was your late father’s. There were pictures of him and you on his bedside table, among other things. His bed was unmade but dusty. He spotted a glimmer beyond the papers strewn across the floor. Curiosity led him to picking it up; it was a dog tag. He pocketed it before appearing back to the rest, shaking his head.
“Hey kid!” Tony hollered. “It’s Tony! With The Avengers?”
Silence.
Suddenly the front door re-opened with a force. The five heroes immediately got to a fighting stance.
“NYPD! Put your hands where I can see ‘em!”
The team sighed, half in relief and half disappointment. Upon realizing that the Avengers themselves were in front of them, the police officers lowered their weapon with faces full of questions.
“With all due respect,” one of them spoke nervously, “what are you guys doing here?”
“Our jurisdiction.” Tony snarked with sarcasm before going back to looking around the room.
“That man needs medical help.” Natasha stepped up to the officer, pointing at the body on the ground. “We don’t know who he is yet but we assume he’s bad so keep an eye on him.”
Steve rested his shield on his arm before picking up one of the framed pictures that looked the most recent before giving it to a different officer. “Look for this girl, she might be in danger. And injured.” It was one your father had taken of you only a few months before you last saw him, you had grown a little since then but Steve thought it should do.
“There might be no need for that,” Tony called. “One of the security cams across the street spotted a girl running away from this building, must be her.”
Steve nodded. “Let’s go.” And with that they were off, leaving the police to take care of the crime scene and culprit while they search for you with the guidance of FRIDAY.
----------------------
You finally decided you couldn’t run any further; your chest was heaving, your head was spinning, your back was killing you, and you’re pretty sure the man had sprained your arm. You stopped at an empty alley, a good block away from your building. You let your body slide down the wall to the concrete below you in exhaustion. You lifted your shirt up to see a purple bruise starting to form on your upper stomach. You raised your hand to wipe off the blood staining your face but only ended up spreading the red liquid everywhere before you limped, your muscles giving out. You sighed, turning your brain trying to find out how you were going to get out of this one.
Then you felt a presence to your left. Your instincts kicked in, grabbing the gun you had carried and aiming it to the figure.
“Wow, hey. Put that down.” The figure said, three more people emerging behind him. “It’s me.”
God damn the Avengers. You thought, lowering the gun in your hand. You let your head lull back to the wall behind you.
You heard a metal clink from your other side. “You’ll manage, huh?”
You couldn’t find the energy in you to return the attitude.

what are all the podcasts you listen to?
anon I'm so glad you asked
Since it is a pretty long list including synopses (stolen from the podcast feed or website because I'm Bad at summaries and in some cases it's been a while since I listened) I'm going to put it under a cut.
I've separated the list into "Complete" (either finished or cancelled) and "Ongoing" podcasts. Some have additional comments by me. Current favorites are marked orange. My eternal beloved are Our Fair City and Wolf 359.
Complete
ars PARADOXICA: "When an experiment in a time much like our own goes horribly awry, Dr. Sally Grissom finds herself stranded in the past and entrenched in the activities of a clandestine branch of the US government. Grissom and her team quickly learn that there's no safety net when toying with the fundamental logic of the universe."
Blackwood: "Five years ago, Molly Weaver, Bryan Anderson, and Nathan Howell started a podcast focused on the local legend of a monster called The Blackwood Bugman. Quickly, the investigation grew out of their control, as they discovered that, not only are the legends seemingly true, many people in Blackwood have turned up dead or disappeared without a trace." --> [this feels like the Blair With Project, but as a podcast. Didn't get a second season due to no funding, but it works as a standalone]
Dreamboy: "Dane, a spun-out musician spending the winter in Cleveland, Ohio, has two main goals: keeping his job at the Pepper Heights Zoo and trying not to waste all his time on Grindr. What he doesn’t expect is to get swept into a story about dreams, about forevers, about flickering lights, about unexplained deaths, about relentless change, and about the parts of ourselves that we wish other people knew to look for. Oh, and also a murderous zebra." --> [very NSFW; does cool things with music! Didn't get a second season due to no funding, but it works as a standalone]
King Fall AM: "...centers on a lonely little mountain town's late-night AM talk radio show and its paranormal, peculiar happenings and inhabitants." --> [cancelled after 100 episodes, ends on a huge cliffhanger]
Our Fair City: "A campy, post-apocalyptic audio drama." --> [I know the description sounds like nothing but just trust me, I love it so much]
Steal the Stars: "...is a gripping noir science fiction thriller in 14 episodes: Forbidden love, a crashed UFO, an alien body, and an impossible heist unlike any ever attempted."
Stellar Firma: "...a weekly Science Fiction, Comedy podcast following the misadventures of Stellar Firma Ltd.'s highest born but lowest achieving planetary designer Trexel Geistman and his bewildered clone assistant David 7. Join them each episode as they attempt to take listener submissions and craft them into the galaxy's most luxurious, most expensive and most questionably designed bespoke planets. However, with Trexel's corporate shark of a line manager Hartro Piltz breathing down their necks and I.M.O.G.E.N., the station's omnipresent and omniinvasive stationwide A.I. monitoring those necks to within 3 decimal places, they'll be lucky to make it a week before being slurried and recycled into raw human resources." --> [semi-improvised, I thought I'd have a problem with the improv bit because that's not usually my thing, but no, I absolutely devoured this]
TANIS: "...is a serialized docudrama about a fascinating and surprising mystery: the myth of Tanis. Tanis is an exploration of the nature of truth, conspiracy, and information. Tanis is what happens when the lines of science and fiction start to blur." [+ spinoff The Last Movie] --> [I have no clue what the hell is going on here]
The Black Tapes: "...is a serialized docudrama about one journalist's searc for truth, her enigmatic subject's mysterious past, and the literal and figurative ghosts that haunt them both."
The Magnus Archives: "...is a weekly horror fiction anthology podcast examining what lurks in the archives of the Magnus Institute, an organisation dedicated to researching the esoteric and the weird. Join new head archivist Jonathan Sims as he attempts to bring a seemingly neglected collection of supernatural statements up to date, converting them to audio and supplementing them with follow-up work from his small but dedicated team. Individually, they are unsettling. Together they begin to form a picture that is truly horrifying because as they look into the depths of the archives, something starts to look back…"
Time:Bombs: "...a new audio drama podcast about the hilarious world of bomb disposal. Ride along with EOD technician Simon Teller on the busiest night of the year for him and his team - when business is, quite literally, booming."
Wolf 359: "Life's not easy for Doug Eiffel, the communications officer for the U.S.S. Hephaestus Research Station, currently on Day 448 of its orbit around red dwarf star Wolf 359. He's stuck on a scientific survey mission of indeterminate length, 7.8 light years from Earth. His only company on board the station are stern mission chief Minkowski, insane science officer Hilbert, and Hephaestus Station's sentient, often malfunctioning operating system Hera. He doesn't have much to do for his job other than monitoring static and intercepting the occasional decades-old radio broadcast from Earth, so he spends most of his time creating extensive audio logs about the ordinary, day-to-day happenings within the station. But the Hephaestus is an odd place, and life in extremely isolated, zero gravity conditions has a way of doing funny things to people's minds. Even the simplest of tasks can turn into a gargantuan struggle, and the most ordinary-seeming things have a way of turning into anything but that." --> [starts funny, turns very intense]
Ongoing
Alba Salix, Roya Physician (+ The Axe & Crown): "A witch, her apprentice, and her fairy herbalist treat the ills of a fairy-tale kingdom." + "Gubbin the troll tavernkeeper deals with his clueless new landlord, his shady niece, and some new competition."

CARAVAN: "First rule of Wound Canyon: No one who gets in, ever gets out. So when a brilliant, ghostly specter flies through the sky amid the rain and lightning, Samir stumbles off a steep cliff and into a hidden world, one in which demons, vampires, and all other manner of paranormal creatures take sanctuary." --> [also pretty NSFW and horny in general]
Death by Dying: "The Obituary Writer of Crestfall, Idaho finds himself deeply in over his head as he investigates a series of strange and mysterious deaths… when he is supposed to simply be writing obituaries. Along the way he encounters murderous farmers, man-eating cats, haunted bicycles, and a healthy dose of ominous shadows." --> [I had to stop listening to this in public because it kept making me undignified laugh and snort noises]
Desperado: "Blood magic, Voodoo magic, old gods, new gods: We've got it all! Follow the story of misfits from all over the world, as they try to survive and protect their heritage from modern-day crusaders."
EOS 10: "Doctors in space, a deposed alien prince, a super gay space pirate and a fiery nurse who'll help you win your bar fight."
Girl In Space: "Abandoned on a dying ship in the farthest reaches of known space, a young scientist fights for survival (and patience with the on-board A.I.). Who is she? No one knows. But a lot of dangerous entities really want to find out. Listen as the story unfolds for science, guns, trust, anti-matter, truth, beauty, inner turmoil, and delicious cheeses. It’s all here. In space."
Janus Descending: "...follows the arrival of two xenoarcheologists on a small world orbiting a binary star.

Potterless: "Join Mike Schubert, a grown man reading the Harry Potter series for the first time, as he sits down with HP fanatics to poke fun at plot holes, make painfully incorrect predictions, and bask in the sassiness of the characters." --> [the only non-fiction podcast on the list]

Soon, she and a team of experts find themselves living on the research station The Tiamat, traveling along the abyssal plains as they search for answers far below the waves. But there are dangers in these ancient waters. Reawakened, prehistoric monsters are rising from the deep -- jaws wide and waiting, and in the darkness, something is stirring."

When he meets Gordon Porlock, a disgruntled archivist with a bag of tapes from the station’s last known occupant, they will begin a journey to the limits of experimental science, confront horror and trauma from the past, present and future, and try to remember the cheat codes from Sonic the Hedgehog 2."
Rusty Quill Gaming: "An actual play podcast following a mixed ability group of comedians, improvisers, gamers, and writers as they play through the extended, tabletop roleplaying campaign Erasing the Line, an original game world of the GM’s crafting." --> [took me a while to get into because I have trouble focusing on non-scripted things, but eventually I got really hooked on the plot and attached to the characters. This podcast is really fucked up at times if you think about it]

Grouch - Part 2
Pairing : Bucky x Plus Size Reader ; Avengers x Plus Size Reader
Warning : Language ; Mention of violence (killing) 
Word Count : 1.6k
Disclaimer : I do not own the characters, nor the universe where they were created and interact in. This series/fiction is only for entertainment purposes.
Tumblr media
The silence was ponderous. A name and everyone in the room felt their breath cut short, especially Bucky. Tony gulped harshly before speaking, “What do you mean, ‘it’s Y/N’?”. Fury readjusted himself in his seat and replied, “Agent Y/N reached out to me two years ago. She couldn’t go on with the Avengers for motives she refused to confess and asked me if I had any undercover mission. The deal was simple: high secrecy at all costs, only way of contact was through and by me and complete erasure of her existence in the system. Unfortunately, something must have happened because the contact was cut short. I’ve been trying to track her down for the past year but without result and that’s why I convoked you all here today. We need to get her back.”
“You…you let her go on a mission all alone by herself without backup?”, Sam’s voice echoed in the room. “I won’t regard that tone, this time, but Agent Y/L/N is one of the best operatives I’ve had the pleasure to work with. She didn’t end up being an Avenger by accident. She knew the risks like all of you”, replied Fury with a firm voice. “Y/-“, began to whisper Bucky but was cut off by being projected against the wall by Wanda’s powers. He groaned in pain, a faint scream making his way up his throat. “WANDA”, shouted Steve. The Scarlet Witch saw red and intensified her powers. “This is all your fault”, she gritted through her teeth. “She left us because of you. I warned you Barnes that if you hurt her, I would come for you”, she continued. The room heard Bucky’s ribs crack and launched at their fellow team member. She let him go, his limp body falling to the ground, unconscious. Natasha took Wanda out of the room while a medical team was being called in emergency.
Across the street on an empty parking lot, two silhouettes were witnessing the whole scene. “Look at them getting onto each other’s throats for you. That’s how much influence you have on them and that’s why you’re so precious to us.” The man looked at you with gleamy eyes, two steps further in the world domination race. You watched stoically, emotionless at those strangers bickering. “They are the reason for your rebirth. I guess we should thank them”, his voice echoing in the background with a triumphant chuckle. You weren’t paying attention to him, the vision of your targets far more interesting. You stood up from your spot ready to make some ravages but he gripped on your arm. “Not yet.” “When?”, your feral voice replied. A proud smirk appeared on his traits before he told you, “Soon. Very soon. Patience Soldat your moment will come soon. Let’s go back before Madame Hydra decides to put us down” You both left the place behind and went back to the base.
--
“How is he?”, asked Natasha. Steve sighed heavily, massaging his temples. “He’s still unconscious but out of danger. Cho managed to fix his broken ribs and stop the internal hemorrhage.” “What about Wanda?”, nodded Sam towards the Black Widow. “Took some time to calm her down. She’s furious. We will have to make sure they don’t cross path anytime soon.” The silence reigned for a while before Tony spoke up, “We also have to find Y/N.” “I don’t want to sound disrespectful or anything but do you think that’s a good idea? I mean she left us. No warning, no goodbye”, exclaimed Rhodes. “She had her reason. Buck was … . The whole tension between them was unbearable and that’s only the parts we witnessed. Who knows what else happened behind doors that got to the point of no return”, said Steve leaving the others astonished by his response. Steve would always choose Bucky first but he could also acknowledge when his friend was in the wrong. “Yeah, well in the meantime here’s what we got”, added Tony and projected your undercover mission file: your picture, new identity and your reports.
They spend hours and days working through your notes, trying to figure every small detail out. Every time a Hydra member would take you to a direction their first instinct would be to blindfold you, remaining the locations top secret. They started tracking every known Hydra agent’s movements day and night to the point where they became desperate and tired. 4 months passed and no new leads. The Avengers were attending once more an emergency meeting with Fury going over their minimal results when the F.R.I.D.A.Y alerted them. “Avengers we have a critical situation happening right now in New York city.” The whole team went on high alert. “The water supply has been contaminated and a radioactive signal has come to my attention on 5th Avenue.” “Alright everyone suit up and get the local police to evacuate the place as fast as they can”, spoke Steve in his Captain voice. In less than 5 min the team was on the Quinjet ready to leave the compound. 
Tony, Sam, Rhodes and Vision were the first arriving on the spot. They quickly found the radioactive signal which was the result of a timing bomb. While Tony and Vision stayed to deactivate the bomb, Sam flew to the others who had arrived. “What’s the status?”, asked Natasha. “Stark and Vision are on the bomb. We get the contaminated water”, answered Sam but as soon as he finished his sentence, riffles were heard making them take cover. Men came out of several trucks, the red octopus symbol sewed on their vests, shooting at them. “Why am I not surprised”, exclaimed Bucky who recovered from his injuries quickly thanks to the super soldier serum running in his blood.
Battle was engaged soon after between the Avengers and their longtime enemy. “Well well well, look who we have here. Long time so see Captain”, a feminine voice was heard among the commotion. Steve turned his head and saw the woman in question. “Viper”, he whispered. A smirk crossed her features, “It’s Madame Hydra now.” “Doesn’t matter”, he mumbled before engaging in a hand in hand combat. “Where is Y/N?”, he asked through gritted teeth. She chuckled at him before punching him square to the face. “Who?” At the corner of her eye, she saw Natasha launch at her but managed to turn the Widow’s signature in her favor. Bucky joined Steve in fight Madame. “Where is she?”, spat Bucky angrily. “She went…what do you call it. Home?”, she grinned and grabbed the line over her head and took off with the awaiting helicopter. “Home? …she…she’s at the compound”, shouted Bucky in the comms. “On it”, exclaimed Tony before flying back.
You strutted down the hallways, killing everyone that came across your way. F.R.I.D.A.Y activated the emergency protocol, closing all the doors but you managed to slide inside Stark’s lab before the closure. “I will use force against you Agent Y/N”, commented F.R.I.D.A.Y. You didn’t know why but you figured she was speaking to you. “Stop calling me that. That’s not my name”, you answered bitterly. The A.I tried a different approach and asked you what was your name then. You didn’t respond and once you found what you were looking for, you grabbed it but the A.I activated Stark’s Iron Man suits. You fought them easily off and at the last one who you crushed with your bare hands, you heard someone clear its throat and chuckle. “I’m impressed”, he said slowly approaching. You analyzed him like a hawk, your dark eyes boring into his. “Y/N?”, he whispered. You lost your time and launched at him. “I’m not Y/N”, you groaned. His kick projected you back violently, shredding the left side of your pants, metal shinning. You looked down at your ripped pants and breathed heavily. “No…what have they done to you?”, he mumbled in shook seeing your shaped Vibranium leg. He got caught off guard hearing the plates of your arms and legs whirring. “Hail Hydra”, he heard your so familiar yet so strange voice say. Your punch met his armor so violently, he was left unconscious. You fled the compound before the others arrived and discovered Tony was down. 
He woke up 3 hours later and told F.R.I.D.A.Y to show them the footage of your altercation. Bucky felt the tears sliding down his face and left the room abruptly, followed by Steve. “Buck”, the Captain whispered. “Wanda’s right. It’s all my fault.” “Hey don’t do…that to yourself.” “But it’s true. I pushed her away and look what she became. I tried to do everything to have her out of my life because I’m damaged. I wanted to keep her save by being as far as possible as she could from me even if it meant for her to hate me and I just pushed her right into their arms.” Steve watched his best friend lose it. “I lost her… She will never know how much she meant to me”, he told himself. Steve reached Bucky’s shoulders and looked at him in the eyes. “Bucky, we’re all damaged. If you gave her a chance this wouldn’t have happened but now it’s too late to erase the past. We got to move on. We still have a chance to save her. I … we saved you and we will save her too. You hear me? She needs you know. Will you be there?” Bucky calmed down and nodded firmly. “Yes, I will”, he said with determination. “Good because now we know who and for what we’re fighting for. We know that’s she alive. Come on let’s bring our friend and your girl back.” The two men walked back inside and started working on how to bring you back to them.

[INTERVIEW] AleXa interview: from sci-fi to global fans and cultural mix
Tumblr media
K-Idol, podcaster, cosplayer, best new artist, according to Soribada… If we start to list all the things that AleXa is, we will certainly spend a long time here. Despite having debuted in 2019, not even a year ago, the idol already collects titles, appealing projects and fans all over the world.
After gaining the attention of many K-Pop fans during Produce 48, when she still went by the name Alex Christine, the A.I Trooper commander built, alongside the ZB Label, an interstellar career: worthy of all the futuristic concept that marks her job.
In an interview to K4US, AleXa went from sci-fi to her relationship with global fans and cultural mix, sharing a bit more of what structures her projects, her values ​​and her creations.
The idol also took the opportunity to tell us where she would like to record an MV in Brazil. Check it out and tell us what you think!
Firstly we would like to say that we are really happy to talk to you! We know that you already had contact with the Brazilian media but still, we want to know: are you still surprised to know that people so far away from you acknowledge your work and admire you?
Thank you so much!!!! It’s honestly a great honor, and a wee bit scary, that people so far away take interest in my work and are able to enjoy it~ I never dreamed of being able to reach people across the globe, so hearing things like this makes me beyond happy.
Based on your projects, we notice that all of them have really strong concepts, from their ideas to their visuals. As an example, we can talk about this sci-fi/technologic narrative that appears on your songs, music videos and performances — something done in a way never explored before on K-pop and that ended up attracting K-Pop fans. Do you usually take part in this type of development for your music releases? How these concepts are created and what they usually are inspired by?
Fortunately, our staff knows me so well, inside and out. They know my likes, dislikes, and my passions!! Since before debut, they were well aware of my love for all things sci-fi, dark, and innovative! So, during the creative process of creating the AleXa Universe and concept, my love for sci-fi was taken into account. We’ve been heavily inspired by things like Star Wars, Alien, Battle Angel Alita, etc.
K-Pop is an industry dominated by groups, which, for soloist, can be a cause for concern. Did you ever feel insecure or afraid to debut in a solo career? What do you think that it’s the advantage to work that way?
Well, to be honest, when I first came to Korea, I did not have the particular goal of group or solo. I was just driven to achieve my dream, and work hard. Being a soloist hasn’t quite given me any concerns, aside from the fact that it is hard to catch my breath when performing because there are no “parts”~ I would say it’s advantageous to be a soloist because our staff is able to focus on my concept and performance, alone.
Recently you had your work recognized by the Soribada Best K-Music Awards, right? Congratulations, Next Artist of 2020! At some point, from trainee days to career difficulties, did you ever imagine that you would receive such an award? What was the feeling when you knew you were the winner?
First off, thank you so much!! I never imagined that I would receive any kind of award before my year anniversary! It was a tremendous honor and surprise to have received The New Wave Next Artist Award. I was so happy to have won an award, it was such a memorable experience- I will never forget it.
There is a performance version of “Bomb” with Tina Mirae and we think it’s really cool that, through this collaboration, the world of K-Pop grows a little bit more in terms of visibility for the work of black women — who are inserted in a culture that strongly influences K-Pop itself. By the way, you have other projects with Tina, right? What kind of relationship do you both have and how did you meet? During your creative process, do you have in mind these issues regarding social minorities’ visibility or even concerns about cultural appropriation?
We at ZB think it’s very important to give credit where credit is due. So in the circumstance of revamping the “Bomb” choreography and throwing in Afro-beat and Dance Hall moves, we deemed it absolutely necessary to learn from a professional on the field and abide by her teaching.
Tina is one of the most talented souls I’ve ever met, with a heart of gold to match. She’s so incredibly hard working and deserves to be recognized for her abilities. I first met Tina the day I came back from my brief break in America, late 2018. We began training together immediately, that day, and the rest is history~
I, along with our staff at ZB, value the importance of being knowledgeable of other cultures. Therefore, when approaching different concepts, music styles, and choreography, we do our utmost to research all that we can, consult others if we must, and to stay true to our core values as a company.
You’re a very expressive artist, especially when it comes to choreography moves. Aside from hip hop, is there any dance style that gives you the feeling of greater creative freedom or a dance style that allows you to express your feelings more easily?
Having grown up doing ballet, it was a great outlet for me as a kid. I’d really like to attempt ballet again later in the future.
Considering your recent posts on social media, the fans are speculating that a comeback is nearby. Could we have some spoilers about what to expect for your next release?
This comeback will be the third and final chapter to our trilogy. It will be quite a cinematic finish~ The song and dance are both super cool, and I cannot wait for everyone to see it!!
We know that before you became an idol, you already had been a K-Pop fan since 2008. How is it for you to go through this process from being a fan to now being the Idol in this industry?
I can only describe my experience as a dream come true!! It has been a wild ride since the beginning, but I’m so grateful to be where I’m at and I wouldn’t trade it for the world~
You already expressed your desire to visit Brazil, as well as being a great fan of Anitta and our funk music. So we would like to know… If you could shoot a music video in Brazil, which one of these locations would you pick and why?
The Ruínas de São Miguel das Missões would be a DREAM to film in!! It looks absolutely stunning!! I looked up the location to see more pictures- all I can say is WOW!!!
Lastly we have a quick game so the fans can get to know your personal preferences better. So we ask you to kindly answer the following with the FIRST thing that comes to your mind!
A song that I can’t stop listening to: WAP BY CARDI B AND MEGAN THEE STALLION LOL
My favorite movie: Jim Henson’s “The Labyrinth”
A cosplay that I still would like to do: Mei Misaki from “Another”
The best part of doing a podcast: Being able to speak freely about interesting subjects!
My main feeling while performing: Happiness! Pure joy!
Obrigada Brazil!! Thank you so much for the constant love and support that you have shown!! I am so grateful for the positivity you fill my life with~ I hope that once the world allows it, I can go to Brazil as fast as I can to meet you all in person!!! Much love to everyone in Brazil!! Stay safe and happy - AleXa

crave | a.i. (bodyguard!ash)
Tumblr media
I can’t even believe that I finally finished this y’all. It’s a fanfiction miracle. I hope you enjoy, let me know what you think! And I’m linking a tiny playlist you can listen to while you read. It’s basically the three songs that got me to push through it.
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5jfFaDzJCXnJsPYFG23a2D
“I crave a dangerous kind of love. One that breaks hearts and bed springs.” –michael faudet
Rosalie Daniels was not the perfect daughter her father thought she was. While she was away at college, she did everything she knew he would hate. She partied too much, skipped class too much, and used her father’s influence to pass some classes. It wasn’t that she wasn’t smart enough to do it on her own, she just couldn’t be bothered to stay in the perfect mold of a daughter she was expected to be any longer.
Her father was the Governor of New York. Richard Daniels was amazing at what he did for the State of New York, but he was an oblivious father. Rosalie had been away at school for four years now and she wasn’t even sure he had noticed all the letters from the university informing him of all of his daughters misadventures. Or maybe he chose not to. As long as Rosalie stayed out of the papers and off the internet then he wanted to stay oblivious.
Now that she had finished with school, Rosalie was on her way back to New York. Until she figured out what she was going to do with her unwanted Business degree, she was going to have to stay at home. Despite her fathers insistence that she work for him, she refused. What she really wanted, was to photograph the world. Like anyone her age, she had the urge to see what else was out there. Life had so much more to offer than stuffy desk jobs for Rosalie. She just hadn’t figured out how she was going to break the news to her father yet.
The plane had just landed at the airport, and Rosalie suddenly felt nervous. She was nervous about seeing him. She wasn’t even sure if he still worked for her father, it had been two years since she had seen him. But still, the thought made her stomach churn. Ashton Irwin was part of the Governors security team, and when he started working for him six years ago, he had been assigned to be his teenage daughters bodyguard. He was determined to be the best damn bodyguard he could be, but then, in a whirlwind of unexpected events, he fell in love with her.
Not at first, no. At first she was the typical rebellious daughter of a diplomat. Constantly trying to sneak out to parties unprotected. She was utterly maddening, but on the nights he drove her wasted ass back from a party and she talked about the things she really loved, that’s how she got him. Rosalie Daniels was more than just the Governors daughter. She was beautiful and complex. She loved hazelnut coffee in her ridiculous mug she used just to piss off her father. It was black with the words “fuck off” scrolled across the side in white cursive letters. Ashton rolled his eyes every morning when she would sit down at the breakfast table with her father adorning that mug. But he also adored her for it.
There was a flower garden on the grounds that she was always dragging him to. She wanted to take pictures and rush to get them printed. She always had hundreds of prints scattered across her bedroom floor. It didn’t matter if the cleaning crew picked them up, they were back in a scattered mess as soon as she arrived home. That’s how Rosalie liked things, beautiful chaos.
When she went on dates, it was practically torture for Ashton. He didn’t know when it happened, but he cared about the girl he had been protecting for years more than just for the sake of his job. He hated the nights when he was positioned outside her door and he had to listen to her cry alone in her room. He never knocked to ask what was wrong, he didn’t think it was his place, but god he wanted to. He hated watching her at the parties he always gave in to. He was wrapped around her fingers and when she begged for hours for him to take her to the parties, he almost always did. Ashton kept an even closer eye on her, but in turn had to see her dancing with random frat boys and kissing them on the dance floor. He shouldn’t have let himself get in a position like he did, but it hadn’t mattered, after a few years she left for college. She came home for holidays the first couple years, but made excuses the last few to not come back.
To say he was nervous to see her now was an understatement. Ashton was waiting outside of the airport next to the car that would take Rosalie home. He had sent one of his colleagues inside to collect her off of the plane. He didn’t think he could keep his composure if he was the first thing she saw when she got off the plane. She didn’t know how he felt about her. How no woman he’s dated since she left is half as interesting or beautiful as she was. How no matter how many times he tried he couldn’t get her out of his head when he fucked them.
Rosalie was finally able to exit the plane, and as soon as she stepped foot inside the airport she was bombarded my paparazzi trying to get a picture. The prodigal daughter had returned and everyone wanted to run the article.
“Back off, please.” She tried to say politely, but they continued to crowd her. Rosalie tried to keep her face covered with her hoodie but it wasn’t much use. After a moment of panic, her arm was being pulled to the side by a man in a black suit and tie.
“This way, Ms. Daniels.” He said. Rosalie could see his nametag on the crisp black collar of this jacket and she knew he was one of her father’s security people. Just not the one she was hoping for. She nodded and let him lead her out of the airport and towards the front where the car was waiting.
Once she pushed her way through the revolving doors, her sunglasses covered eyes caught sight of who she had been hoping to see when she got off the plane. Ashton was standing next to the car with the door open. As soon as she reached him, his hand was on her lower back ushering her into the car.
“Welcome home, Rosie.” He said softly before shutting the car door. Rosalie was a bit stunned to hear the sweet nickname. He had always called her that before, but it was different to hear it leave his mouth now. She watched as he swiftly hopped into the passenger seat and the driver quickly pulled away from the airport curb.
Ashton was different now. Bigger. Broader. Bright red hair. But still the same soft facial features and kind eyes. Rosalie couldn’t imagine how he had gotten away with that hair while working for her father. If nothing else, Richard Daniels was overly formal. Whatever Ashton had done to be allowed to have bright red hair, she admired it.
“Can we stop for something to eat? I’m starved.” Rosalie finally asked after taking in a deep breath.
“There’s some salads in the bag behind my seat.” The driver said, looking at Rosalie in the rear view mirror.
“Whoever told you she’d want salad after a long flight obviously hasn’t been around very long. Pull off at the Burger King on the next exit.” Ashton said, his eyes meeting hers in the mirror now. Rosalie tried not to smile, but it was impossible. He still remembered. Ashton’s dimpled smile appeared next, and Rosalie had almost forgotten how breathtaking he was.
After she was able to get some real food, Rosalie could feel a cloud of dread settle over her as they pulled up to the New York State Executive Mansion. It had technically been Rosalie’s home since her father had taken office six years ago, but it never really felt like home. Just an old empty house.
Her mother didn’t stick around when Rosalie was a child. When her father started his journey in politics, she took off. Not a word. And it was okay with Rosalie, she couldn’t even remember feeling sad about her leaving. Instead, she was raised by her father’s assistant, Natasha, and the cleaning crew. And thanks to them, she was raised to respect and appreciate all people as humans. She wasn’t always able to use that towards her father, but she did try now and then.
Ashton could tell that Rosalie’s mood had shifted as the car pulled up to the house. Her shoulders slumped and her pretty lips set into a frown. He wished there was something he could do to make her want to be here, but it had never worked in the past, and likely wouldn’t now. When the car parked, Ashton jumped out and quickly turned to open the back door for Rosalie, but she was quicker, opening the door herself and stepping out onto the paved driveway.
“I’m supposed to open that for you.” He said, watching as her eyes settled on the house in front of them.
“I’ve been opening my own doors for quite some time now.” Rosalie said, adjusting her bag on her shoulder.
“Doesn’t mean you should have to.” Ashton replied, motioning with his head for her to walk in front of him towards the door. She sighed loudly and began the short walk to the front steps. Ashton kept his hand on her lower back as he opened the door to the house and ushered her inside. Rosalie swore she could feel his fingertips burning through the thick material of her hoodie.
The entryway was the same it had always been. It was big, open and too quiet. There was a spiral staircase that led to the bedrooms upstairs and a few accent tables with outdated flower arrangements sitting on them. But Rosalie never found it to be very welcoming in any sense. She started to wonder if she should just turn back around and sprint out the front door but the warm voice of someone familiar kept her from doing so.
“I know what you’re thinking, Rosalie Daniels, and you’re not going anywhere.” Natasha said as she descended the staircase with a warm smile on her face. Her straight black hair was cut short and framed her face nicely as always.
“Nat!” Rosalie shouted, dashing towards the bottom of the stairs where she was quickly wrapped into a hug by the woman who raised her. She was the most motherly person in her life and she always made sure that Rosalie was taken care before anything else.
“How are you, darling?” Natasha asked, squeezing her arms around Rosalie once more before taking a small step back to look at her.
“Not exactly thrilled.” Rosalie scoffed. “Where is he?”
“He’s in a meeting in the conference room. Shouldn’t be in there much longer if you want to wait and see him.” Natasha explained, even though she knew better.
“It’s fine. I’m going to head up to my room.” Rosalie half smiled and gave Natasha’s hand a quick squeeze.
“Your dad wanted to make sure you knew about dinner tonight. 6:30?” Natasha’s voice was a bit wary as she watched Rosalie walk up the stairs, Ashton walking behind her with her oversized suitcase.
“Sure.” Rosalie said quickly as she reached the top of the steps.
The hallway leading towards her bedroom was lined with pictures of past governors. Not exactly a comfortable walk to make when Rosalie had been a drunk high school student attempting to walk a straight line down a long hallway. Rosalie had purposely chosen one of the rooms at the very end of the hallway when they first moved into the mansion so that she could be as far away from everything going on as possible.
“You’re okay, Rosie?” Ashton asked, making Rosalie jump slightly, forgetting that he was walking behind her.
“He hasn’t seen me in two years and he couldn’t be bothered to come to the airport? Or be around when I got here? It’s complete bullshit.” Rosalie stops in front of her bedroom door and turns to face Ashton.
“He wanted to…” Ashton started to say, but the look on Rosalie’s face made him stop his sentence with a sigh. “You’re right. It’s bullshit.” His long fingers ruffle through his red locks as he sits down her suitcase.
“It’s fine. I wanted to take a nap anyways.” Rosalie grabs the handle of her suitcase and wheels it through the door to her room.
“I’m just across the hall if you need something. Anything at all.” Ashton says, a small dimpled smile rising at the corner of his mouth.
“Thanks Ash.” Rosalie smiles back and then quickly closes the door. Her back presses to the door as she slides down it onto the floor. She was angry with her father, but she was also angry with herself for once again thinking he cared. She was also completely taken off guard by how strong her feelings for Ashton still were after all this time. It was too much if she was being honest.
Before the tears could start welling up in her eyes, Rosalie felt her phone vibrating in the front pocket of her hoodie. She pulled her bottom lip between her teeth and unlocked the screen quickly to read the text messages on her screen from her old friend Paige.
By the looks of the news, you must be home lol.
Just got back in town. Anything going on?
Huge party out on the Ferguson’s farm. You in?
Pick me up at 10. Park down the street.
I know the drill. See you then.
Rosalie closed her eyes and took a deep breath before standing up from her spot on the floor. She and Paige had always gotten into trouble in high school. Rosalie’s father was not a huge fan of Paige and the things she always seemed to talk Rosalie into doing. But that’s why Rosalie liked Paige, she didn’t care who Rosalie was.
A very long shower was the next thing on Rosalie’s list of things to do. She needed to wash away this day before she sat down to eat dinner with her father. Once she had almost run out of hot water, she quickly got dressed in something that she knew her father would disapprove of. Her denim jeans were tight and her tank was more than revealing. It was perfect.
When the clock flipped to 6:30, Rosalie made sure to take her time getting downstairs. Even then, when she got to the dining room Natasha was the only one there. Rosalie rolled her eyes, walking around the back of Natasha’s chair and flopping down in the one across from her.
“What is that?” Natasha almost choked on the tea she was sipping when she saw the outfit Rosalie was wearing.
“I could show up naked and he probably wouldn’t notice.” Rosalie picked up her fork and poked at the salad sitting in front of her.
“Please don’t do that.” Natasha teased, making Rosalie smile just the slightest.
“I make no promises for future dinners.” Rosalie said, sitting up from her slouched position and pushing the salad away from her. But before either of them could say anything else, Rosalie’s father came walking into the room with his security and associates in tow. Richard Daniels always did know how to ruin a moment.
“Hello, Rosalie. How was your flight, darling?” He walked behind her seat and quickly bent to press a kiss to the top of her head. Rosalie rolled her eyes again as he took his seat at the head of the table.
“Hi dad.” She managed to say without too much sarcasm. Natasha giving her warning eyes the entire time.
“Tell me about school.” He says, not even making eye contact with his daughter.
“I graduated. By some divine miracle. That’s all there really is to say about it.” Rosalie slouched back in her chair again as one of the kitchen helpers brought out another plate of food and sat it in front of her.
“You’re a smart girl, it’s not so surprising.” Her father said, finally looking up from his plate to meet his daughters eyes. His same eyes. Practically the only thing she had inherited from him.
“Are we really going to keep pretending like you didn’t use your status to keep them from kicking me out?” Rosalie’s arms crossed over her chest.
“Rosalie.” Natasha said, more warning in her voice.
“There’s no reason to act this way at dinner, Rosalie. Drop it.” Her father said before going back to his food. Rosalie had had enough already. She pushed back in her chair until it fell backwards against the floor.
Ashton was standing in the doorway that lead to the hallway where the stairs were as Rosalie stormed passed him. He knew she was hurting, but he didn’t know how to fix it, or if she would even want him to. He waited until he heard her door slam upstairs before he moved. He heard Governor Daniels say something about her being a moody teenager, when she was in fact a woman. But he wouldn’t remember such things.
“Rosie?” Ashton said after knocking softly on her door.
“Fuck off, Ashton.” She yelled, slamming things around the room as she went. Ashton sighed and pressed his forehead against the door.
“Come on, Rosie. Let me in.” He could still hear her shuffling about the room. Then things went quiet for a moment and the door came flying open with a very angry Rosalie standing in front of him.
“You can come in, but I do not want to talk about my father.” Rosalie glared up at Ashton when their eyes met and he nodded in understanding.
“Do you want to tell me what you’re planning tonight?” Ashton asked as he walked across the hardwood floor and say on the cover of her bed. This was something that happened regularly years ago when the two of them were much closer.
“I’m just going to bed early, that’s all.” Rosalie lied, but she was never good at lying to Ashton.
“Now that you’ve gotten your bullshit lie out of the way, you want to try again?” Ashton raised one of his perfect eyebrows questioningly. Rosalie sighed and threw herself down onto the bed next to Ashton. He stayed sitting as she laid next to him, their thighs touching and warming each others skin through the material of their pants.
“I’m just going to a party with a few friends. I swear I don’t need anyone to go with me, I’ll be fine.” Rosalie said, gently pulling at the back of Ashton’s shirt so that he would lay back against the bed with her. He didn’t object in the slightest as his head laid next to hers and they looked up at the ceiling together.
This was something that happened pretty regularly a few years ago. Ashton knew he was overstepping boundaries by spending so much extra time with her but she was all he could think about then and now. He was there when she got the tiny rose tattoo just beneath her left breast and it felt so much more intimate to him than it probably did to her, but it was just another one of those things that made him love her all that much more. Rosalie Daniels was a force to reckoned with and Ashton constantly wished that everyone else could see her that way.
Rosalie’s whole demeanor changed when she was just lying here next to him. Their shoulders just barely touching. Ashton had been her place of solace when things started to get too much for her to handle. He always knew when to gently touch the small of her back and remove her from a room she wasn’t comfortable in. He knew when she needed certain things and when she didn’t. He probably knew what was better for her than she did sometimes, but he never made her feel that way.
“I don’t know, Rosie. You know I can’t let you go alone.” Ashton sighed and turned his head to look over at her pretty face. Such striking yet soft features.
“Do we really need to have the ‘I’m not a little girl” conversation?” Rosalie asked, still looking up at the ceiling. Ashton laughed quietly before he answered.
“I’m well aware that you’re not a little girl, Rosie. I just need to do my job.” Ashton watched as her eyebrows scrunched together slightly and her lips fell into a short lived frown. Rosalie always felt the slightest bit of a sting every time Ashton referred to her as work. But maybe that’s what she was to him. She shook if off quickly, sitting up to look down at Ashton’s face.
“You know I’m going with or without your permission.” Rosalie smiles softly and spends an extra few seconds soaking in the way his bright red curls pop against the white of her sheets. Ashton lets a dimpled smile spread across his face.
“And you know I’m just a phone call away.” Ashton says as he leans up on his elbow.
“Yeah, I know.” Rosalie pulls her bottom lip between her teeth while scooting to the edge of the bed so she can head to her closet. Without hesitation she pulls off the tank top she had been wearing with Ashton’s eyes burning into her bare back. He clears his throat and tries to look anywhere but at Rosalie.
“I should um…go.” Ashton scrambles up off the bed and wipes his nervous palms on the fronts of his black pants. Rosalie tried to hide her smile as she peaked over her shoulder.
“Bye Ash.” Rosalie pulled another top from her closet and slipped it over her head just as her door clicked shut after Ashton had stepped out.
By the time she had finished getting ready her phone was dinging with texts from Paige telling her that she was parked down the street waiting for her. And unlike most cliché scenarios that required the rebel daughter to climb out the window and sneak away, Rosalie simply walked out the front door. She wasn’t a teenage girl who required supervision anymore, but she still didn’t need her father or especially Natasha knowing she was going anywhere with Paige. So she walked down the dark sidewalk until she saw the flashing headlights of Paige’s car. Rosalie quickly slipped on her dark brown leather jacket just before she reached the car, opening the door with a wide grin on her face.
“Where have you been bitch?” Paige said, leaning over the console to hug Rosalie.
“Not here.” Rosalie gave her one last squeeze and situated herself in the seat.
“Being cryptic. I’m fine with that.” Paige smiled and started the car, driving towards the Fergusons farm outside of the city.
When they were finally able to find a parking spot the party seemed to already be in full swing. There was a huge bonfire and music blasting from a DJ system somewhere in a swarm of people. Rosalie started to get out of the car but Paige grabbed her elbow to stop her momentarily.
“Wait a second, I have party favors.” She smiled devilishly and wiggled her eyebrows while pulling a small plastic baggy from her coat pocket.
“What is that?” Rosalie asked, something telling her already that it wasn’t a good idea.
“It’s ecstasy of course. I got it for old times sake.” Paige opened the bag and shook one out into her palm, tossing it back into her mouth like it was the most normal thing. And maybe a few years ago it was, but even though Rosalie had partied in college, it was nothing like the things she and Paige did before that.
“I don’t know Paige. This is a huge party.” Rosalie felt more uneasy as Paige shook the bag once more and pushed her palm towards Rosalie.
“Alright fine, but you have to stay with me the entire time. No wondering off.” Rosalie took the small blue pill and stared at it a moment before she put it into her mouth and swallowed it down.
“Deal. Now, let’s get our asses over there.” Paige quickly got out of her car but waited until Rosalie did as well, linking their arms together and practically skipping over towards the crowd of people.
The night started off amazing. They ran into some other old friends from school and drank keg beer for hours. Rosalie felt like she was drifting above everyone else most of the night. She laughed and sang at the top of her lungs when the DJ played some of her favorite songs from all those years ago. It seemed like the night was going to go off without a hitch, until one word was shouted that no one wants to hear.
“COPS!” Someone screamed above the sound of the DJ. Everyone almost immediately started dispersing. They were either underage or had something on them that the cops didn’t need to find, so everyone was running.
Rosalie looked around frantically for Paige while her head was fuzzy and unfocused. She was nowhere to be seen. Rosalie started moving towards the area where she knew they had parked Paige’s car but she began to feel so dizzy that she had to stop. People were still shouting and pushing, and they kept pushing until Rosalie couldn’t keep her footing and she fell to the ground. It was muddy from people’s footsteps and it made it even harder for her to attempt to get back up on her feet.
“Paige where are you?!” Rosalie shouted, but it didn’t seem to be any use.
“I’m right here, Rosie.” The familiar voice said next to her ear, pulling her up from the ground by the elbow.
“Ashton? What…what are you doing here?” Rosalie knew she had obviously drank too much on top of that pill. Her head spinning.
“Did you really think I’d let you go somewhere like this alone?” His huge hands are cupping her face trying to get her to look at him, but she can barely keep her eyes open. “What did you take?” he asked.
“Nothing. It was just ex.” Rosalie smiled drunkenly as Ashton scooped her up beneath her knees and started walking.
“I’ve got you.” Ashton says into her ear as he carries her towards the black suburban parked in the lot.
Ashton sat Rosalie into the passenger seat, trying his best to keep her upright while he buckled her seat belt.
“You smell good.” Rosalie giggled while her face was buried in his shoulder.
“You smell like cheap beer and cow shit from being in this field.” Ashton teased as he finally got the seat belt in its lace.
“I do not. Stop that.” Her eyes fell closed again as she slightly slurred the words. Ashton shook his head with a small smile on his lips. He used his fingertips to push some hair away from her sleepy face and Rosalie instantly searched for more of his touch.
“Still beautiful.” Ashton says quietly, loving the way the dim overhead light casts shadows on her face. Rosalie hummed appreciatively at his fingers on her skin until he pulled them away and shut her door. Her eyes could barely focus on the bright red curls on his head walking around the car and getting into the drivers seat.
Rosalie slept most of the drive back to the house. She woke up long enough to realize that she needed Ashton to be touching her again and searched for his hand to hold in hers. He didn’t pull away, just let her hold onto his fingers as they turned into the driveway.
“Come on, Rosie. Let’s get you to bed.” Ashton tried to wake her with no such luck.
He pulled open her door and undid the seat belt, pulling her into his arms like a small child and carrying her limp body into the house. She groaned as he jostled her a bit walking up the stairs but she quickly fell back asleep. Rosalie Daniels was the only person Ashton could see himself taking care of this way, whether it was his job or not. He just wanted her to see that there was more for her than this partying type of life. She had so much to give to the world and she was wasting it by getting fucked up in the middle of field.
Ashton felt like he needed to bring her to his room so he could keep an eye on her. He didn’t want Rosalie choking on her own vomit or anything else he could not possibly fathom happening to her. At least that’s what he needed to keep telling himself to justify his selfish want of her in his bed. So he opened the door across the hallway from hers where he had been staying for last 5 years.
The walls inside his room were the usual dark blue that most of the other bedrooms were. All of them except Rosalie’s, hers was painted a horrid pastel peach color that she adored. Ashton never understood why she liked it so much when she had first painted it. But the more he saw her in that room, lying on her bed reading a book or staring down at her phone and the sun coming through the windows just right, it all made sense. Everything about Rosalie Daniels was pastel peach. It was beautiful in the oddest ways. And sometimes if he was lucky, Ashton would get to see glimpses of her beauty that she was willing to let him see.
“Need to shower.” Rosalie grumbled as Ashton closed the door behind him.
“Can you handle that?” He said quietly, walking towards his bathroom with her still in his arms.
“Mmhmm.” Rosalie hummed.
“Okay then, angel. Let’s get you in there.” Ashton slowly let her feet down so she could stand up on her own, but kept his arm around her waist while they walked into the bathroom.
With his hands on her soft hips, Ashton propped Rosalie’s tired and half drunk body against the vanity while he opened the shower door and turned on the water so it could warm up for her. Rosalie yawned and pushed her messy hair around on her head causing more tangles than before. A sudden pout appeared on her face as she lifted her arms above her head and looked at Ashton.
“Help me.” She said pitifully. Ashton could only smile. He approached her slowly, long fingers ghosting over her hips until they tangled in the material of her top and pulled it up and over her messy head of hair. She was completely bare beneath it, and Ashton had to use every ounce of strength in his body not to touch her soft skin.
“Ready to get in?” He asked her, eyes trailing up her torso until they were met by her waiting ones. Rosalie shook her head no, pointing to the button of her jeans.
“I don’t think I can do it.” Her voice was just above a whisper and her pretty bottom lip was pulled between her teeth. Ashton could practically feel himself about to explode and he’d hardly touched her. He watched her eyes a moment longer before his fingertips were sliding from just below her navel to the button of her jeans, popping it open until the zipper came undone as well.
“Baby girl…what are you doing to me?” Ashton whispered the sweet words the same time he was dipping his hands into Rosalie’s jeans and underwear swiftly pulling them over the curve of her ass. Ashton kneeled down on one knee in front of her to help pull them off of her ankles. Now Rosalie was the one on the verge of exploding.
“Do you want to come in there with me?” Rosalie asked with a slight hiccup at the end. She leaned forward slightly so her hands could rest against Ashton’s strong chest. She managed to pull open one of the buttons on his shirt and Ashton’s eyes fell shut.
“As much as I would love to…I won’t be doing anything like that while you’re fucked up.” Ashton’s hand wrapped around Rosalie’s and moved them away from his chest so he could take a step back away from her.
“Are you serious?” She hiccupped again, stumbling slightly on the bathroom rug.
“Have a shower. Then we can talk.” And with that Ashton left the bathroom after he sat one of his clean tshirts on the vanity and quietly closed the door, listening to Rosalie mumble under her breath as he did.
After walking back into his bedroom, Ashton stretched his arms above his head, his tired and achy muscles protesting a bit. He had been standing practically all day, back and forth with the Governor to different places until he had to go to the airport to pick up Rosalie. He may have volunteered to do so all too willingly. He carefully undid the rest of the button on his shirt, all the while thinking about the way Rosalie had just been doing this same action. He had somehow kept his composure in front of the girl he loved while she was completely naked in front of him.
Ashton dragged his tired body over to his bed, flopping down on his back with his arm behind his head. His eyes closed and listened to the sound of the shower running in the next room. He wasn’t sure if she would want to talk. But he hoped she would still give him a chance to finally tell her how he felt, because there was not a chance of going back now. Deep down, Ashton knew he should just be her bodyguard. He should protect her and keep her safe from harm and leave it at that. But if there was just an inkling of a chance that she felt the same way, the bigger part of him wanted to take that chance.
Just when we could feel himself begin to drift to sleep, the water turned off in the shower and Ashton was alert again. Patiently waiting for Rosalie to come out of the bathroom. There really wasn’t any mentally preparing himself for this.
The sound of the door opening startled Ashton a bit, and the sight of steam rolling out of the bathroom in the dim light had him almost squinting to see where she was. Rosalie stepped out, but didn’t make eye contact with Ashton. He could tell she had sobered up a bit by the way she carried herself towards the bed. She flopped down on her stomach on the bed next to him, the tshirt of his that she was wearing just barely covering her delicious curves. Her face was turned away from him and her wet hair was sprawled across his pillow.
“C’mon Rosie. Don’t be angry with me.” Ashton scooted a little closer to her on the mattress.
“Angry? I’m not angry. I’m embarrassed. And yet, I couldn’t bring myself to go to my own room.” Rosalie says, still facing the other way.
“Don’t be embarrassed. I just…if you want me…I wanted it to be when you’re sober.” Ashton said, his palm coming to rest on the small of her back. She took a moment to think about his words and how they erupted butterflies in her stomach before swiftly turning over on her side to face Ashton.
“Do you want me?” Rosalie asked, her voice quiet and a bit shaky.
“Everyday.” Ashton replied, his hand leaving her back to come to her face and cup her cheek.
“Why did you wait so long?” Rosalie moved her body until it was flush against his.
“Just your bodyguard, Rosie. You deserve better than that.” Ashton looked away from her eyes as he spoke but Rosalie had her fingers under his chin pulling them back to her.
“I know I’m a disaster…” She whispered, pulling her lip between her teeth the way she always did when she was nervous.
“Beautiful disaster.” Ashton added, making Rosalie smile and shake her head.
“I don’t deserve you, Ash. All the shit I’ve put you through. I’m sorry for all of it.” She looked up to meet his eyes, taking a deep breath. “But I’m not sorry for this.” Rosalie moved her free hand to cup the side of Ashton’s neck and pull herself into position to press her lips to his.
There wasn’t an ounce of hesitation, because nothing had ever felt so right. Rosalie had pictured the way Ashton’s lips felt for as long as she could remember. And even after all those daydreams, it was nothing compared to reality. They were soft as they slotted with hers, molding together and making the most beautiful sounds she had ever heard. Ashton’s nose brushed back and forth with hers as they moved around until Rosalie was straddling Ashton’s lap. Their lips never parting in the commotion.
Her hands made quick work of pushing his shirt off of his shoulders and slipping it off of his arms. Finally able to slide her hands into his curls, she gripped at the strands until he was moaning against her mouth. Ashton’s huge hands desperately searched for the hem of his tshirt she was wearing and when he finally had it in his grip, he swiftly pulled the material over Rosalie’s head leaving her naked in front of him once again. He took his lips from her reluctantly to admire the perfection sitting bare on his thighs.
“Fuck, baby. Tell me what you want.” Ashton’s words were desperate as he sat up to wrap his lips around one of her nipples. Rosalie’s head lulled back and her hips ground down against his searching for friction.
The sun was starting to come up outside and a dull bit of light was coming through the thin curtains hanging over the windows, and Ashton wasn’t the slightest bit tired anymore. He felt Rosalie’s hands fumble with his belt, but eventually get it and the button undone. Their breathing mixed together when she brought her lips back to his while she finished pulling down the zipper. Ashton was so hard he didn’t think the confines of his underwear were going to be able to hold him much longer.
“Can I have you in my mouth?” She whispered the words against Ashton’s mouth and he almost came right there and then.
“I will never say no to that, angel.” They both smiled as Ashton lifted his hips and let Rosalie pull his pants and boxer briefs down his thighs and legs until they could be haphazardly thrown to the floor.
Rosalie didn’t find it necessary to waste any time when that’s all they’ve been all these years. Ashton’s cock was heavy in her hand as she moved her hand up down him, making sure to pay attention to the pretty vein running underneath it. Ashton twitched and moved his hips in rhythm with her hand. His moans were captured by her mouth on his momentarily. All too soon she was pulling away and moving down his body. She kissed a hot, wet trail down his stomach and over his hips. When Rosalie got where she wanted to be, she flattened her tongue against his shaft and licked a long stripe from the base to the tip where she stayed to pay special attention. Licking and sucking until Ashton could barely see straight. His hands gathered her hair into a makeshift ponytail so he could watch his cock disappear and reappear inside her magical mouth.
“Stop, baby. Please stop.” Ashton moaned barely holding it together.
“What’s the matter?” Rosalie looked up at him with the most innocent eyes while her hand continued stroking is ungodly hard cock. She was going to be the death of him.
“I want…oh god.” Ashton’s sentence broke off when her little kitten licks started in on his tip. “I want to fuck you.” He managed to get out. Rosalie smiled, pulling her mouth off of him and moving back to straddle his hips.
“Like this?” Rosalie’s hands were pressed flat against Ashton’s chest helping her hover above waiting cock.
Ashton took a minute to run his hands over the soft skin of her hips, slipping one between her legs to feel how absolutely soaked she was from just having him in her mouth. He dipped them inside making Rosalie grab onto his wrist, trying to get him deeper, that’s when Ashton couldn’t take another second without being inside her.
“This is going to be hard and fast. I promise to make it up to you over and over today, tomorrow, every day if you want it. But right now I need to sink so deep inside this pussy that you feel me in your chest, okay baby?” Ashton gracefully wraps his arms around her body and flips their body’s until Rosalie is pressed into the mattress beneath him.
“God, yes.” Rosalie wrapped her arms around Ashton’s neck and held on as he lined himself up with her and slowly pushed inside, letting her adjust as he went deeper. “More Ash, please.”
Ashton started his deadly rhythm, taking time to swivel his hips and hit spots that Rosalie didn’t know existed inside her. Her orgasm was building up so quickly that she could barely breathe. Small beads of sweat started to form on Ashton’s forehead as his pumps became ruthless. He could already feel bruises forming on his hips and Rosalie’s nails were digging long scratches and crescent shaped moons along the entire expanse of his muscular back. He bent down to kiss her moaning mouth and hold her hands above her head in a tight grip as he spilled everything he had inside her. Rosalie clenched around him and met her own high at just the same time.
Ashton’s sweaty body fell limp against Rosalie’s. He kissed her neck and her jaw while he tried to calm his breathing. She only wrapped her legs around his hips and pulled him tighter against her and they laid there like for what seemed like hours, the sun finished its trip above the horizon and beginning to shine brighter than it had been before. Ashton managed to lift himself enough to look down at the angel girl beneath him, all that soft morning light making her look every sense of the name.
“You’re okay?” He asked quietly.
“Perfect.” Rosalie answered, leaning up to kiss his swollen lips a few more times.
“I’ll get you something to clean up.” Ashton pulled himself from inside her, that feeling was something gloriously hot all in its own. He grabbed a wash cloth and brought it back to Rosalie so she could do what she needed to with it.
“Can I stay in here with you?” Rosalie asked, her head resting against her palm and elbow on the mattress.
“Any time you’d like.” Ashton pressed a kiss to her temple and pulled her up the bed until they could both slip under the covers.
“You won’t mind me being in your bed every night?” Rosalie buried herself in Ashton’s chest.
“Never. I’d prefer it really.” Ashton said, arms consuming Rosalie’s smaller body. “We just have to be careful, you know?”
“You’re afraid my dads going to fire you?” Rosalie asked.
“Or have me assassinated. One of those.” Ashton laughed lightly and Rosalie did the same.
“Don’t worry, I’ll protect you.” She pressed a kissed to his wonderfully hair covered chest, relishing in the feeling of it against her cheek.
“You’re my bodyguard now, baby?” Ashton asked with a huge smile on his face.
“Damn right.”

THE BENEFITS AND CHALLENGES OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Humans have long been obsessed with creating Artificial Intelligence. The idea was first written about by Allan Turing when he first posed the question, "Can machines think?" in the year 1950. Now it appears that the answer is moving towards yes. A.I is poised to have a profound impact on our lives and it's everywhere. The two biggest developments to bring A.I to the forefront were big data and computing power. A.I relies on vast amount of data to truly be an effective intelligent system. But up until recently, that data wasn't available and computers couldn't have handled it if it was. But what exactly is A.I? Simply put, it's a software that can be designed to do things that only humans used to do.
 From robots customer service agents to chatbots and autonomous vehicles. A.I is almost unavoidable and we better get used to it because this is one trend that isn't going to go away anytime soon.
A.I can now automate everyday tasks, process, and analyze huge amounts of data. It can help with management decisions and put the most effective teams together. It can converse with customers to resolve customer service issues and so much more. Incorporating A.I into the office is like having your army of robotic assistant that can assist and streamline nearly any task.
 There are both benefits and challenges with A.I especially when it comes to the workplace. Let's take a look at the benefits. First A.I is huge for productivity. Imagine a world where didn't have to perform the menial tasks of your job because a computer could do it. Things like managing referrals updating information and coordinating schedules hence leaving you free to focus on a big-picture strategy. Some studies predict that A.I can increase workplace productivity by as much as 300%. That can be a very big impact on your business.
 Second, A.I can help with decision making because machines aren't clouded by emotions. A.I can do things like predict financial trends, pull analysis for rolling out a new product and solve customer service issues all much more quickly and for a fraction of the cost of having humans do it. A venture capital firm in Hong Kong even put a robot on its board of directors because it could pick up on market trends that humans couldn't see and quickly make objective decisions.
 Third, we have personalization. Have you ever tried to hire someone only to find out a few months down the road that they just a good fit for the company? A.I can identify success factors and screen fob applicants to highlight the people who are most predisposed to perform well. A.I can also help organizations better to understand and their employees and what they care about and value in order to deliver personalized experiences. Personalization is also very relevant to customers but it can be expensive and time consuming for humans to deliver on this. That's where A.I comes in, for remembering online shopping preferences and creating personalized advertisement campaign or reaching out to customers via chatbots. A.I can be huge in turning customized experiences into sales.
 Lastly, we have increased accuracy. Humans naturally make errors in their work no matter how carefully we checked data. However A.I has the potential to be virtually error-free. Experts have already predicted that governments could use A.I to reduce fraud and minimize errors in tax collection. In the medical space, which has used many of the same practices for decades A.I is being used to diagnose diseases with nearly 100% accuracy. A.I may sound great but what about the potential dangers?
 First up, security and privacy. To be effective A.I needs access to lots of information which means it could be pulling or sharing your employee or customer data without you even knowing it and so far no one is stepping up to regulate what it can and can't see and use. This is especially crucial as A.I becomes smarter and more self-reliant.
Second, rules and regulations are not currently in place to help control what A.I can be used for, what A.I can control, what information it has access to or what to do whenever something goes wrong and something always goes wrong.
 Third, it's challenging the status quo. After all implementing A.I is a huge transition that can upset many of the established corporate practices and processes inside of our organizations. Many companies just aren't ready for the switch to A.I and it could take time before they are in an organizational and cultural mindset to adopt this new technology. This is true for employees and customers. How will employees feel working with an A.I co-worker and how will customers feel when they show up to a retail store and are helped by a robot instead of a human?
 Lastly, we have the big concern about job displacement. Will A.I create more jobs than it replaces or will it replace more jobs than it creates? Of course, nobody knows the answer to this question and studies and data have been pointed out to which can justify either outcome. This is perhaps the largest issue facing A.I today and for a good reason. W e are simply not prepared to live in a world where A.I and robots do most of our jobs and we don't have any concrete plans in place for how to address this. A.I will undoubtedly play a large role in the future of work and life.
 Now is the time for companies and employees to prepare as technology grows at an ever-increasing pace. One of the most important things an individual can do is to learn how to learn. Many of the skills and programs learned in schools and inside our organizations even recently, will soon be outdated. The ability to learn new things and to apply those learning to new situations and scenarios will always be valued and will be even more important as the technological future changes. We must also focus on bringing humanity into our organizations because that is something A.I can not replace. Empathy, emotion, human connection, inspiration. These are all human things Those who will be masters of the so-called soft skills, will see much success.
 Lastly, we must all prepare for many potential futures instead of just one. Since we don't know what impact A.I will have on work or life. We must explore various scenarios for what the future will bring. In a sense, we must all think like futurists who are constantly looking at what the future may bring and how to design the future we would like to see happen. It is clear that A.I is a big part of the future of work, so get ready, we are all about to go on an A.I roller coaster rider.

Planes, Trains, and Automobiles
Just as promised this is the beginning of the three-part post about answering @quilloftheclouds questions for my Wip Renegade. To kick things off I’m going to start with Modes of Transportation, I thought about adding pictures but that’s time-consuming and would make this post longer than it already is. So if you guys want to see some pictures of the Modes of Transportation in Renegade let me know, I post them! 
Tumblr media
Modes of Transportation
The world of Renegade is a mix between Tron: Legacy and Blade Runner 2049, a blend of both cyberpunk and post-apocalypse dystopia. For a world set two millennia past ours (2200) transportation isn’t what most people from our generation would think it to be: there aren’t flying cars, skyscrapers don’t serve as spaceports, and people don’t regularly take trips to the moon or live on Mars. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t cool futuristic modes of transportation, most that travel on something known as The Grid (a network of synchronized power that runs below every interstate, highway, street, and connects at the center of each City-State like hubs to give every citizen of the Republic power). Without The Grid life wouldn’t be able to function, the world would find itself in cold darkness or in other locations scalding heat of the sun without means of protection. 
The Grid runs like ley-lines, connecting everything in the Republic to make it work like one giant machine, these lines can best be seen at night and truly showcase how vast the network is. It’s like a collection of different colored lights running along every surface in the world, some following vehicles. The Grid distributes power to transportation, homes, factories, and other buildings in the Republic. 
HyperExpress
This is the bullet train of the future that can travel up to 2,000 mph, it utilizes a vacuum tube in order to reduce air friction and increase its speed. Not only is HyperExpress an ultra-fast bullet train it also serves as a kind of subway for all Caste citizens, not only the higher/wealthy ones. The HyperExpress system runs much like the railroad did when it first started laying track in 1830′s America, it’s the veins and nervous system of the Republic when it comes to transportation, stretching from one City-State to another across all connecting contents. Both cheap and highly efficient. 
Air-X 
Flying cars aren’t an option for civilians, scientists in the Republic tried to make it happen but after many try fail cycles it was deemed safer to not put the public in such contraptions. So only Air-X remains, the only commercial flying vehicle in the Republic skies. These are unmanned, piloted by A.I or small Androids, freight containers with a small cab build into the front. Using Air-X frees highways, interstates, and the oceans from unnecessary cargo shipment by vehicle or ship and instead acts much like a miniature plane of sorts. Small shipments use hover technology in their motors while larger shipments passing overseas use twin-jets or quad jets depending on the load.
ePath 
Much like HyperExpress there is a network of tube-like structures following smaller highways in City-States civilians in both the middle castes and high castes can use who: ride electronic bicycles, electronic scooters, or even walk. The system is at least 17ft above the road, keeping pedestrians a safe distance from motorized traffic, is climate-controlled all year round, and also offers conjunction points were either 1.) City-State district limits begin and end or 2.) A transportation module such as HyperExpress is available. This allows civilians to hop off ePath and use another mode of transportation or walk directly about the City-State as they please. 
ThunderHaven 
Human beings have been entranced with the idea of flying for decades and pushing the limits of that idea, ThunderHaven provides that extra push into the unknown. Following in the steps of countless airplanes and military jets that have both teased and pushed past the sound barrier this is the super-fast plane that not only pushes past and surpasses the sound barrier, it full on blows it away entirely. ThunderHaven travels 8 times the speed of sound and is also capable of breaking out of Earth’s orbit and touching the stars if it pleased. Its design is sleek, made of the finest materials to keep the body both lightweight and strong, and also windowless. Fear not, inside passengers have a choice between a real-time visual of outside the plane or movies. ThunderHaven has three travel classes for each caste: low, medium, and high. 
Electric Vehicles 
Just because cars don’t fly in 2200 that doesn’t mean they don’t hold their usual allure if anything cars in the Republic are far more diverse and better suited for Earth (as well as people). Pulling power straight from The Grid once a vehicle is in motion, tends to stay in motion running on pure liquid energy without producing climate-damaging greenhouse gases and nitrogen oxide. They can travel for miles and never need to stop to charge while within City-State limits (near a central hub) because The Grid is most powerful there, however, once beyond City-State limits and in outer rim districts/Outlands The Grid is less powerful and vehicles need to recharge after 600 miles. Most vehicles are outfitted with solar panel cells built into their framework, so they remain lightweight, efficient, and ready to charge at a moment's notice if you’re in the outer rim districts/Outlands. Any caste of citizen can own an electric vehicle, what varies from caste to caste is the classification of vehicle. 
Speedsters: These are unhinged, drag-racing, high-performance “cars” with a design that primarily revolves around speed and elegance, most high caste citizens own Speedsters due to their designs and the materials that go into creating them. It’s costly. Speedsters usually never adventure past inner City-State districts because many are low clearance and wouldn’t survive the rough terrain of outer rim districts/outlands. Much of a Speedsters appeal originates from the sleek design they take on: wheels built tightly into the frame not bulky in any way, smooth aerodynamic design, and many resemble “classic muscle cars” from the past giving drivers a nostalgic feeling. While they are pretty to look at and comfortable to sit in people are also drawn to what lies underneath, a powerful engine that pushes past all known boundaries of horsepower.  Speedsters can be defined in two simple terms: powerful and fast.
Cycles: These are vehicles that are not allowed on ePath and resemble sport motorcycles in design. Cycles are extremely slender, hold up to usually only one person (driver), and have tire technology called tilt-tread to allow the cycle to perform tighter turns without risking the driver. The front wheel is locked forward so steering is done by tilting Cycles, not turning the front wheel (why tilt-tread is so crucial). However, when attempting certain maneuvers a pair of small fins spring out behind the driver to aid both balance and braking.  Speed can be increased by twisting the twist throttle back towards the driver (located on the right-hand side handlebar). Most Cycles also come with small twin jets seated by the back wheel, this allows faster speeds to be reached efficiently. Unlike Speedsters, Cycles can adventure beyond inner City-State districts and endure some of the rough terrains of outer rim districts/outlands pose. All kinds of citizens from Castes ride Cycles due to their affordability and ability to go beyond inner City-State limits. 
Trail Blazers: Rugged, usually larger than all other forms of electric vehicles, Trail Blazers are designed to do as their name suggests: pave new ways through the wild territory without being stopped. These are the vehicles that can easily adventure into the outer rim districts/outlands without a second thought, large tires paired with reasonable ground clearance to avoid hazards the terrain may pose and not sink into softer ground due to roads becoming less frequent the further they adventure. Trail Blazers adapt to the terrain around them by extending spikes from its tires for better traction and adjusting its suspension for either better ground clearance or shock absorption. Only high caste military personnel drive these vehicles. 
Roadsters: The last classification of Electric Vehicles, these are sporty vehicles that sit between the Speedster and Trail Blazer category. Their primary design isn’t based on speed or being able to survive the unforgiving landscapes of outer rim districts/Outlands, instead, it’s comfort mixed with style. Built with enough ground clearance to adventure into outer rim districts/Outlands while maintaining a sporty design these vehicles are made for the middle caste families. Roadsters are often referred to as “the family vehicle”, outfitted with a third-row seat (unlike most Speedsters and Cycles) that is roomy and comfortable it’s the ideal vehicle for traveling in groups. 
And there you have it folks, the modes of transportation in the world of Renegade! I had so much fun basically spilling all my thoughts about this fictional world I’ve created and fallen in love with. If you have any questions or want to know more just send an ask or anything! Part two of worldbuilding questions for the world of Renegade is the Social Structure.

Stable Diffusion The New Era Of A.I
Kotai Electronics
Our human brains play the biggest role in today’s technological advancements that humans have produced. On the basis of this intelligence, humans have created various products, but it is not necessary to say that each one has changed the nature of human life. The world will change massively with the public release of the model weights for stability. A.I. Stable Diffusion text-to-image engine. With this, anyone can quickly create artistic images that are of great quality and detail using reduced consumer technology.
Tumblr media
What is A.I.(Artificial Intelligence)?
A field of computer science called artificial intelligence (A.I.) is working to create machines that can think and behave like people. The ability to recognize voices, solve problems, learn and plan. A.i. systems stand in contrast to the natural intelligence shown by people and other animals.
A computer-controlled robot or piece of software that can think similarly to the human mind is what is understood by this. Artificial intelligence is always ready to make it excellent at this. It learns to adjust to new inputs, gains experience from other machines, and carries out activities that are similar to those performed by humans during training.
AI is being used to build these smart systems that can respond to data by connecting with their atmosphere. Specifically, if AI technology develops more, it will involve partners. It will tell you by considering for itself what to do if you get into trouble.
What is Stable Diffusion?
A text-to-image machine learning model called Stable Diffusion A.I was created by Stability A.I. in cooperation with EleutherAI and LAION to create digital images from statements in basic language. The concept can also be applied to other jobs, such as creating image-to-image translations that are suggested by the text.
Stable Diffusion specifically uses a hidden diffusion model technique to learn the relationship between the image and text. Diffusion models function by collecting picture data and adding “noise.” The quality of the image is destroyed by the little dots that make up this noise.
History of Stable Diffusion.
In partnership with EleutherAI, LAION, and Stability AI, a text-to-image machine learning model called Stable Diffusion was created to produce digital images from inputs in basic language. The stable diffusion model (1.4) will be released on August 22, 2022. It supports the CUDA kernel operating system.
How does stable diffusion work?
To allow the AI to recognize patterns or symbols in data, current A.I. models use deep learning neural networks, which make use of strong self-learning methods. The main change in this method is the use of identity models, such as GPT-3. A method like GPT-3, for example, uses deep learning on a neural network of over 45 terabytes of word data to produce prose that is convincingly human-like.
Diffusion specifically uses latent diffusion process measurements to learn the relationship between the image and text. Adding “sound” to visual information is how diffusion models operate. The quality of the image is damaged by the little dots that make up this noise. Until the image is just pure “noise,” the “noise” quickly erases all observable details. Once the image has been properly photographed and restored, the model will learn to counter the noise. According to Google:
This path of deep learning includes stable diffusion. By constantly removing noise from the sample until a clean sample is created, the running of this changed damage process incorporates data from pure noise. The model can then produce data by processing sampled noise using the learned de-noising method after training.
The LAION-Aesthetics database supports Stable Diffusion. The photos in this database were selected based on their “beauty” and were combined with image-text pairs. In particular, AI models that were trained to analyze the ratings that users would assign to photographs when asked, “How much do you enjoy this image on a scale from 1 to 10?” were used to optimize the database. This attempts to prevent harmful or sexually inclined content from operating as the AI’s training site.Although this, the final result is not as excellent as stability. The database that supports Stable Diffusion is called LAION. Stable diffusion might still “generate some different cultural backgrounds and create harmful data,” according to AI.
Stable Diffusion Competitor. DALL-E 2:
Tumblr media
DALL-E 1 was launched by Open AI in January 2021. One year later, our most technology, DALL-E 2, produces images that are 4 times more real and accurate.
DALL-E 1 creates art and realistic images from easy text. From all of the outputs, the best image is chosen to satisfy the user’s needs.
The connection between images and the language used to describe them is found in DALL-E 2. It uses a method called “diffusion,” which starts with a pattern of random dots and then modifies that pattern to match a picture when it detects unique features of that image. It generates more changes in a matter of seconds while producing more images but doing so more quickly.
DALL-E 1 edition was limited to producing comical designs made by AI, generally placed against basic grounds.
DALL-E 2 experts in bringing all concepts to life because it can produce creative graphics. Larger and more detailed images are produced using DALL-E 2. It can also produce photos with a greater resolution and is clearly more flexible.
When you provide the AI image generator with a sample image in DALL-E 2 with the new variation capability, it will produce as many variations as you need, starting from close matches to images. The most fundamental elements of each image will be combined when you add another one, so you can even do that.
Examples of how innovative people and smart systems can cooperate to create new items that will enhance our creative potential include DALL-E 1 and DALL-E 2. Most artists are currently only testing the idea of tools like this AI image creator.
Comparison Between DALL-E 2 and Stable Diffusion.
Now we will discuss which is the better text-to-image generator: DALL-E-2 or Stable Diffusion.
DALL – E 2:
Although it is a more compact version than its previous versions, DALL-E 2, the second-generation model of DALL-E 1, is the better one. DALL-E 2 can produce almost anything, but it uses a technology called unCLIP that is so advanced that it can make designs that were once difficult for us humans to even represent. It is still limited in such ways.
2. Although OpenAI may have its own reasons for not making the model publicly available, the market is now also noticing an increase in open-source models of text-to-image converters like Stable Diffusion.
3. DALL-E 2 is considered suitable for commercial use because it produces output that is far more advanced and was trained on millions of stock photos. Emad Mostaque, the developer of Stable Diffusion, says that DALL-E 2’s greatest feature that separates it from other picture makers is inpainting. However, when there are more than two characters, DALL-E 2 provides visuals that are greater than stable diffusion.
Stable Diffusion:
Stable Diffusion declares to be an open-source model that everyone will have access to when DALL.E 2 keeps back and gets open.
2. Additionally, Stable Diffusion can create amazingly detailed artwork and has a solid knowledge of modern visuals. The application of the original instructions is definitely missing. Even a simple picture creator, such as Cryon (formerly DALL.E mini), can give those prompts, which Stable Diffusion is unable to do. When it comes to making basic pictures like logos, the Stable Diffusion library gives an idea of the scale of artistic graphics.
3. Since stable diffusion is unlimited in nature, others have also referred to it. It has been used to create images of naked models, military battles, and pictures of political or religious leaders in odd positions.
The capability of stable diffusion
Users have the option of downloading Stable Diffusion directly onto their systems or studying it online because it is open-sourced. The model is available for professional use in terms of basics, providing a unique opportunity.
Emad Mostaque had declared that the “Code is already public, as is the dataset,” at the time of the launch. As a result, everyone will expand and improve on it. Yet, people are already making some changes to it. A user stated in a well-known Post to have used words to prompt a picture to create an ultra image of a closer, modern city with high walls covered in a huge transparent glass enclosure.
Even little elements from the text response were taken into account by the model as it produced the image in keeping with the image prompt’s instructions. Mostaque wanted to add this option to Dream Studio given the responses to the final image.

The model shouldn’t be used to actively make or deliver photos that make people feel opposed or isolated.
Conclusion.
Developers all over the world have great advantages and possibilities as a result of stable diffusion. The ability to use A. I for goal achievement will have a massive effect on the rest of the current markets.
I have observed developers from all around the world working to create their own open-sourced projects in the past week, everything from web UI to animation. I expect more amazing tools and cutting-edge models from the open-source groups.
I hope you all understand about stable diffusion: how it works, its capability, its competitors, the comparison between DALL-E 2 and stable diffusion, its uses, and its history.
