Park Jongseong's wife had a lot of nerve.

Calling the workplace and disrupting Mr. Park with nonsense you cant even begin to comprehend. He's far too good for her, adhering to her every beck and call, missing out on detrimental meetings and interviews with high-profile clients just to tend to his dumbass wife.

God, you hated her.

As Jongseong's personal secretary, it was your responsibility to keep his business in order, and most importantly, keep him stress-free; which is why you were more than happy to suggest he keep his cell phone off and locked away in your desk for the day, to ward off any unnecessary distractions.

"Always looking out for me, huh?" Jongseong asks, leaning against your desk with a smirk as he willingly hands you his locked iPhone.

"Always," you repeat, not breaking eye contact as you drop the phone into your drawer and slam it shut.

"And what if my wife needs to reach me?"

Your expression goes stoic, and a little bit annoyed. Jongseong knows you hated whenever he brought up his wife in any context, even a hypothetical one.

"She knows your e-mail address," you respond through gritted teeth, your eyes panning over to the empty excel sheet on your desktop.

Jongseong nods, amused and slightly aroused at the distaste you have for his wife. It's fucked up, he knows it is, but he just can't help it. The jealousy in your eyes at the mere mention of his wife was enough to drive him crazy. He loves that you hate her, and how envious you were of her; so desperate to be his wife instead.

"I suppose that's true; but if she calls, just forward her over to me, yeah?"

You don't respond, blatantly ignoring him as you open a new Google tab on your desktop and search 'avg cost of divorce south korea'.

Jongseong leans over, eyes lighting up in a mixture of surprise and amusement as he peeks at your screen, "You're funny, YN," he says, biting back a laugh.

"I'm not joking."

"I know," he stands, shoving his hands into his pockets, "that's the best part. I'll ping you if I need anything."

You nod, chin resting in the palm of your head as you continue to stare at your computer. The results of your Google search were anticlimactic, not one direct answer on the average cost of divorce. Just your luck.

Jongseong discretely glances around the office, making sure all other employees were occupied with their own tasks before leaning down and tucking a loose strand of hair behind your ear, the sudden action causing you to stare up at him wide-eyed and raise a confused brow at him.

"And you let me know if you need anything, okay? Anything at all." He says, voice dropping to barely above a whisper.

Music to your ears, really, having Jongseong at your disposal while his own wife would have to fight tooth and nail to even speak to him today. It's a dream come true.

You clear your throat, adjusting your glasses as you straighten your posture, "Okay."

Jongseong smiles down at you one last time before turning on his heels and making his way down the hall and into his office.

A few minutes have gone by when you receive a message.

Jongseong Park [ 10:20 am ] : Around 1-5M KRW, higher if there are any court battles involved.

You [ 10:20 am ] : noted :)

Of course she'd show up to his workplace, so fucking relentless.

You can't really blame her, not being able to call or text Jongseong all day only to have his personal secretary dodge any calls made to the office surely would drive you crazy. Still, she has a lot of nerve.

"Sir, your wife is here," you grit into the phone, glaring daggers at said wife, Park Yunjin, as she scrolls on her phone.

"Shit, should've known," he sighs, "I'll be out in a few, just finishing something up."

You don't bother saying goodbye, slamming the phone down so hard that it startles Yunjin and a few of your coworkers. "He'll be out shortly."

Yunjin smiles, "Thank you, I got kinda worried when I wasn't able to get in touch with him, you know?"

Not interested in making small-talk with Yunjin, your responses to her are limited to hums and polite nods, fighting the urge to slam your head on your desk while ripping your hair out.

After what feels like an eternity, Jongseong finally emerges from his office and calls out for Yunjin, holding back a smile at the sight of the two of you being in the same vicinity.

Yunjin turns, cocking her head to the side with an annoyed look on her face, "Are you busy?"

Jongseong shakes his head, "Not at the moment, come in," he says, pushing his office door wide enough for her to enter.

Adjusting the purse on her arm, Yunjin makes her way down the hall and into the office, glancing at you over her shoulder one last time as she does so. She's suspicious of you, that much was obvious. You're much younger than her, obviously attractive, and the only other person who spends as much time with Jongseong as she does. You know him like the back of your hand, while she could barely get her husband to open up to her.

She has every right to be suspicious, though, considering you are fucking her husband behind her back.

Thirty minutes have passed when Yunjin finally exits his office, her expression unreadable as she shuts the door behind her, strutting out of the office without so much as a glance in your general direction.

Your eyes follow her every movement, staring so intently that you nearly miss the newest messages from Jongseong.

Jongseong Park [ 3:54 pm ] : Are you able to stay a little longer tonight? Need your help with some stuff.

Jongseong Park [ 3:55 pm ] : Dinner on me as an apology for the inconvenience

You [ 3:58 pm ] : of course, whatever u need :)

You don’t think much of it when you slip into Jongseong’s office later that evening.

He doesn’t bring up the incident with his wife and neither do you, opting to engage in light, easygoing topics as you help your boss complete his workload. It wasn’t much besides transferring over data into excel and responding to some emails, surely not enough work that required staying after hours, but Jongseong’s promise of a free dinner was enough to intrigue you.

And the fact that you’d be spending time alone with him, of course, free of your coworker’s wandering eyes and his wife’s disruptive behavior.

Your remaining coworkers had finally left for the evening, stopping by Jongseong’s office to briefly wish the two of you a good night and a safe trip home.

It’s around seven p.m. when you’re finally finishing up the excel sheet, your tired eyes carefully inspecting each and every corner of the screen, double-checking for any minor errors.

“Almost done?” Jongseong asks, swiveling in his office chair to face you.

You nod, offering him your laptop, “Think so, just need you to look it over.”

Taking the laptop from your hands, Jongseong looks over the screen for half a second before shutting it and handing it back to you. “Looks good to me. Get on the desk.”

You pause, mouth falling open as Jongseong begins to loosen to tie, “Wait, can I expl-”

He crosses the short distance between your seat and his, snatching the laptop from your grip as he forces you to stand, “No more excuses.”

Tossing the MacBook onto your now empty chair, Jongseong hoists you up on his desk, his rough, calloused hands bunching up your skirt until it’s settled around your waist. He doesn’t even give you time to prepare, sliding your thong down and off your legs with a quick yank of his hand.

He lowers himself before you, knees hitting the carpet as he becomes eye level with your cunt. Jongseong gathers a wad of saliva in his mouth, staring straight at you through hooded eyes as he spits directly on your pussy.

You shiver, swearing under your breath as he rubs the saliva onto your folds, “Think you’re so fucking funny, huh? Trying to upset my wife.”

Ugh, there he goes again talking about his stupid fucking wife.

“She’s a distraction, you got so much done today without her bitching in your ear.” You plead, gripping onto Jongseong’s desk with your eyes squeezed shut as he slips a thick finger into your hole.

It’s true, Jongseong had managed to get a lot more work done today than usual now that his wife wasn’t distracting him. Still, he can’t admit that, your ego was already big enough as it is. He’s sure if he inflated it any further your head would explode.

He teases a second finger at your entrance, amused at how easily it slides in from his wet you’ve gotten; it hadn’t even been five minutes and his hand is practically drenched because of you. “Doesn’t matter, you should’ve listened when I said to forward her calls. She already doesn’t like you and you just made it worse.”

Yunjin seeing you as a potential threat had you over the moon, a wicked grin on your face that only pissed Jongseong off further.

His fingers thrust in and out of you at a pace he’s never used before; he’s rough, flustered, and downright mad. His eyes narrow up at you, pulling his fingers out of you entirely to deliver a harsh smack on your clit.

Your body jolts, the sting of the slap sending an unfamiliar, yet arousing, shockwave throughout your body. You’re suddenly grateful that all the other employees have gone home for the evening, because the loud miss that escapes your lips surely would’ve had them running to HR.

Jongseong doesn’t even give you time to recover or process what’s happening, a smug look on his face now that he’s successfully wiped the cocky smirk off of yours. He leans forward, plump lips wrapping around your already swollen clit, swirling his tongue around it as he tugs it into his mouth.

He spits again, using his tongue to mix his saliva with your wetness to make a mess of your cunt. ”That’s funny to you? That you just made shit worse?”

You nod eagerly, another painful slap being delivered to your cunt as a result. You jolt again, tears welling up in your eyes as your back arches off his desk. He rotates between aggressively lapping at your clit, thrusting a third finger into your sopping hole, and delivering more slaps to your cunt, each smack harder than the last, leaving your entire body quivering.

By the seventh slap, the knot in your belly finally snaps, a loud slew of sweats falling from your lips as you come on the palm of Jongseong’s hand.

He doesn’t even give you the chance to catch your breath, standing as he shoves various paperwork and other miscellaneous items off his desk before forcing you on your back.

“I hope it was fucking worth it,” he grumbles, undoing his belt and zipper.

You nod, “It was.”

“Shut the fuck up.” He says, punctuating his sentence with another smack to your cunt. Your body is still spasming from your orgasm, the aching sensation between your thighs only adding to the overstimulation.

He pulls down his trousers and boxers in a swift movement, fully-hardened cock smacking straight against his abdomen. He pumps himself a few times before aligning his tip against your entrance, not giving you any time to prepare or adjust to his size before plummeting himself into you with a harsh thrust.

You cry out Jongseong’s name, back arching off his desk as you reach to hold onto his shoulders. His fingers move to your clit, rubbing harsh circles as he picks up his already fast and aggressive pace.

He’s relentless, fucking into you as if you were his own personal pocket pussy. There’s no doubt Yunjin would let him do this shit to her.

He takes your hand, pressing it down on your own abdomen as he pushes himself inside of you. Even from the outside you can feel his cock bulging into you. “You feel me right there?” He asks, breathless.

You nod wordlessly, a tear trickling from your eye as you do so. Jongseong leans down, unintentionally pressing himself further into you as he kisses the tear away, “You okay?”

You nod again, cupping Jongseong’s face with your hands before bringing him down to kiss you. It’s soft and sensual, making your heart rate increase as he tilts his head to allow himself further into your mouth.

Your legs wrap around his waist, pulling his body closer and furthering his cock deeper into your pussy. He swears under his breath, pulling away to press open-mouth, wet kisses on your neck and cheek. He stills for a moment, enjoying the feeling of your warmth wrapping around him as he’s peppering kisses across your collarbone.

He grabs your hand, interlocking your fingers together before thrusting into you again. He starts off slow this time, seemingly relishing in the feeling of your cum coating his cock.

He doesn’t let up after that, his thrusts becoming much harsher than what you expected, so rough that you’re nervous he may break the wooden desk supporting both of your weight.

“Fuck,” he groans, tip of his cock practically slamming into your g-spot, “gonna cum.”

“Please,” you beg, eyes fluttering shut as your second orgasm approaches.

Jongseong opens his eyes, taking note of your smudged makeup and how fucked-out you look. “Want me to cum inside you, huh? Fill you up until you’re nice and pregnant with my baby?”

You nod embarrassingly because you do want that, to be able to carry Jongseong ‘s child, clinging to his side to let everyone know it was him that did this to you.

He shakes his head with a chuckle, “Fucking knew it.”

That exchange seems to be enough to drive him to his orgasm, because a few seconds later he’s spilling himself inside of you, thick, white ropes of cum coating your insides. It’s the most he’s ever came, chest heaving with exhaustion as he catches his breath.

You’re only a few seconds behind him, ironically calling out for God as your own orgasm hits you.

His office goes quiet, the only sounds being your staggered breath along with his overhead ceiling fan.

Jongseong pulls himself out of you, immediately shoving two fingers inside your hole to keep his cum from drilling out of your pussy. Your body jolts again as you let out a pathetic, “Jongseong, please.”

“Not letting it go to waste.” He says simply, using his thumb to rub small circles on your clit. “Besides, you said you wanted me to fill you up right?”

“Yeah,” you whisper.

“Good,” he groans, “now lie on your stomach.”

large lime lemonade with a slice of starfruit for issei. reciprocated pining. getaway trip of team. just sexual tension😁🙏🏼 i thought so hard about this HSJDHWHDHWHH

Heatwave

word count: 1324 || avg. reading time: 6 mins.

pairing: Issei x chubby manager!Reader

genre: smut

warnings: mdni, nsfw

request: spicy heatwave with pining Issei, as manager, getaway trip with the team, sexual tension

Issei huffed in annoyance as he, not too gently, pulled the door close behind him.

At least out here in the living room it was pretty quiet. He hugged his pillow tighter to his chest and moved slowly through the dark room, eventually flopping down on the lumpy couch - what Kunimi lacked in conversational skills he surely made up for in snoring.

Issei groaned as he tried to get comfortable. It was so hot that even the air seemed too lazy to move. The large windows in the airbnb were all open, trying to entice a non-existing breeze to wander right in. Most of the boys had collectively decided to only sleep in boxers in this heat and he was no exception. If he were at home he would have slept naked in the bathtub but in a harrowing game of rock paper scissors he had lost that privilege to Iwa.

How their coach thought it was a smart idea to drive further into the countryside instead of heading for the sea was a mystery to him. Cicadas buzzed distantly in the night and since he wouldn‘t be able to sleep anyway until it cooled down, he decided to simply stare at the ceiling but that got boring fairly quickly. His eyes wandered through the dark and fell onto the door next to the kitchen. He wondered if you were asleep. On the long drive he had gotten extremely lucky when he was assigned the seat next to you - the coach thought that was safer than putting him next to Makki and they might get up to something. You as the manager could at least keep an eye on him, according to the coach. But in the end it was Issei who only stared at you. He sat by the window and somewhere along the halfway mark he had felt your head on his shoulder as you fell asleep. Not wanting to be obvious he focused on your reflection in the window and ignored the unbearable heat from the close contact. Your plush thighs spilled on the seat and pressed against his and he was certain this was what heaven felt like. He made sure not to shift too much and when the sun started to throw harsh glares on your face he tried to find an inconspicuous way to raise his arm to shield your eyes. Every so often he became braver and turned to look at you directly, his much taller statue allowing him to look down at you and (un)fortunately also your shirt. Were all your bras this pretty or did you wear this for a special occasion? He swallowed hard as he watched a drop of sweat trickle down from your temple, over your neck and disappear between your breasts. Unconsciously he licked his lips and swallowed again. His breathing became a little shallower and upon feeling a very familiar pull in his lower abdomen he averted his eyes with much determination and went back to gazing at your (more innocent) reflection.

Lying on the couch in the pitch darkness, Issei covered his eyes with his arm, thinking back to the feeling of your skin, hot and sweaty against his.

You didn‘t do well with heat. Your blanket lay crumpled at the foot of the bed, having been kicked off a long time ago. The other manager had already fallen asleep and was mumbling something. Tapping on your phone you checked the time. It was 1 in the morning. You sighed. Before checking into the housing you all had gone grocery shopping and stocked up on snacks, ice creams, meat and fruit for the long weekend ahead. Technically, they were all carefully calculated and rationed, but it wouldn‘t hurt if you had your designated popsicle tonight instead of tomorrow, right? And if all else failed you would just head to the convenience store to grab another one. You felt your tank top cling to your skin when you got out of bed and shuffled into the slippers. You sighed when the cool air of the freezer gave you a short burst of relief and picked out your favorite. Munching happily, you savored the cold on your tongue and wanted to head back to your room when you heard a noise. It sounded like… breathing. Panting. But the guys had only joked when they said the house was haunted, didn‘t they?

You were definitely not a “final girl“, you thought. Why would go towards the weird sound!? Then you spotted Issei.

“Y/n.”

At first you thought he had heard you approach and was happy to see you, but the quiet panting and smallest whimpers didn’t fit.

You stood in the doorway between the hall and living room for a second or two. He was laying on the couch, as expected, his head leaned back into the pillow and his hand-

A shockwave went through your body. You couldn’t move.

“Just like that, sweet girl…”, he whispered, followed by some Japanese cursing you had never heard before.

You couldn’t stop staring. You should announce yourself or turn to leave him alone but…

The popsicle in your mouth felt different now, even though the size didn’t nearly match. So all that overheard locker room talk was true, you thought stupidly as you watched Issei run his hand up and down on his huge cock. He moaned your name again and you stared in awe when you saw him twitch in the faint moonlight.

The popsicle in your mouth threatened to drip onto your fingers so you slurped without thinking. Issei shot up at the noise and even in the near perfect darkness you could see his eyes widen.

“I’m so sorry!”, he spoke softly but urgently.

He fumbled with the waistband of his boxers but it was quite difficult to contain all of him.

“You can… I mean, could you… continue?”, you heard yourself say, the popsicle still pressed to your lips, your eyes never left his bulge.

Issei‘s breath hitched.

After a moment's thought he asked quietly, “Can you step a bit closer? Into the light?“. His hand already moved back to where it should be.

You shuffled forward a little into the patch of moonbeam and looked at him.

“Is it alright, if you stay there? Where I can see you.“

You nodded and then watched as he pushed his boxers down again, freeing his cock a second time. You were curious if you could fit your pudgy fingers even around his length at all.

“You were thinking about me?“, you asked softly when he began to stroke himself again.

He nodded.

“You think I’m pretty?“, you mumbled into your popsicle.

“Nngh, gorgeous.“, he panted.

“What were you thinking about me?“, you asked almost too innocently to sound genuinely curious.

“What it would feel like to touch you.“, he pressed out between labored breaths, “What it would taste like if I kissed you.“

His hand twisted around his glistening head and he had to suppress a loud moan when you slurped up new dribblings from your popsicle.

“Is that all?“, you continued, meeting his eyes again.

“What you would look like underneath me…“, he admitted quietly, “Or bent over in the showers.“

You rubbed your thick thighs together. Of course he noticed. His movements became faster.

“What you would sound like if … I were inside you.“

“What would you do if you were inside me?“, you said, your voice almost too quiet for him to hear over the sound of his hand.

“I‘d fill you up, if you‘d let me.“, he breathed.

“Then cum for me.“, you whispered and thick spurts of white painted his toned chest and stomach.

“Who is talking out here?“ One of the bedroom doors opened and Oikawa poked his head out, rubbing his eyes sleepily. He only caught a glimpse of the girls‘ door closing and pretended to believe his friend‘s fake snores.

a/n: since I know spicy heatwave with Issei was on your mind for weeeeeeks, I just had to get to it first. I hope this was sort of what you hoped for 🌟

Theo Nott x Fem!Reader

request here.

The library was about to close and you stared at the book you needed, one shelf too high for you to reach. You sucked in a sharp inhale while peeking about your surroundings to see if Madam Pince was anywhere near, to your dismay your eyes settled on Theodore Nott.

Upon making eye contact with Theodore, you set your aversions to him aside and grit your teeth as you ask, “Could you just get that book for me?”

Nott struts over with a cocky grin, tipping the spine of the book tauntingly, “What class is it for?”

“Light-reading,” You mutter, holding out your hand expectantly. “Why?”

“Just asking,” He shrugs as he flips through the pages of the book. “Trying to see if you’re getting ahead.”

“Piss off,” you try and reach for your book, but Theodore whips his hand above his head making it an impossible reach.

“How’d you do on Slughorns mock OWLs?” He asks smugly, keeping your book out of reach.

“Why would I tell you?”

“I got 100.”

“Extra points cause you’re a suck up?” You ask, eyeing your book and trying to figure out how to make a quick escape.

He leans down to your level, lips nearly brushing,“Extra points because I’m smarter.”

You smile as you reply, “I got a 102,” before grasping the lapel of Theodore’s uniform, yanking him to your height, snatching your book, and abandoning him in the library aisle.

It’s always been like this, you didn’t know when it started but the two of you always seemed to be competing in everything, all the time.

Sitting in DADA you sneakily read pages of the book in the back of class, and suddenly thought back on your and Theo’s late-night library interaction. Slughorn always spent the first 10 minutes of his lecture rambling, so you knew you weren’t missing any important details. Half heartedly you listened to his instruction, but you were much more in tune with your book.

“Class, this assignment will be done in partners, and these partner will be assingned.” When Professor Slughorn mentioned that, your head shot up and you waited for your name to be called.“…Nott and Y/L/N.”

You groan, not even bothering to give Nott a glance. At the end of class, you notice a slip of paper by your book bag. Upon open, it read: Let’s meet in the library at 7:30 to work on the assignment.

The meeting couldn’t come any faster, and suddenly you and Theodore were sitting across from each other in a back corner of the library. Nott was looking through a catalogue of Christmas presents as you filled out the practice question packet.

“Do you think Flint would like this?” He asks you, pushing the catalogue toward you, and for a split second his fingers brush yours.

“Will you stop, I’m trying to focus,” you mutter irritated, flinging your hands away. You couldn’t even remember the last time you spoke to Marcus Flint.

As you crossed out answers in the multiple section, you found yourself stuck on question 7. You could feel Nott’s eyes studying you, and you cringed when you heard his voice, “Mark my words, it’s D.”

You let out a quiet sigh before checking his answer with the review key—D.

“Was I right?” He asks testily, the Christmas catalogue pushed aside, and he searches for eye contact.

You say nothing, pretending not to hear him, and move onto the next section. All of the sudden, he’s snatched the papers from your hand and checks his answer himself.

“I was,” he states with a smug smile, the same one he gave you when gloating about his mock OWL results. “The question wasn’t even difficult.”

Sick of his antics, you push yourself away from the table, and snap, “Since you’re so confident, why don’t you just finish up the rest?”

You shove the papers in his face before stalking away. You didn’t understand why you were so frustrated, but you couldn’t stand another minute with him. Everything boast and brag twisted the knife in your side.

As the soles of your shoes clicked against the marble hallway floors, you heard another pair clicking quickly toward you. Glancing behind your shoulder, no surprises, it’s Theo.

“Y/L/N!” He shouts after you. With that, you quicken your pace but he manages to reach for your wrist before you get a chance to make an escape.

Force to meet his eye, you say bitterly,“It doesn’t seem like you need my help,” before abruptly tossing his hand off of your wrist.

“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have said that,” he confesses. “I didn’t mean to be an asshole.”

You ignore his apology and turn to walk away.

Theo runs ahead to face you, “We have to finish this together anyway, let me talk, please.”

“What does it matter to you?”

“Because I care.”

Does he take you for a joke? Never once has Theo shown an interest of “caring” about you. All the times he’s gloated, cast you aside, or snickered at you when passing by him and friends reels in your mind. You want to push him back in retribution of whatever simmering anger burns in your chest; however, the longer he burns his gaze into yours, the more you realize the beauty of his feature and the natural fall of his airy hair.

“Y/N, you have it in your mind that I’m determined to have it out for you. I don’t,” his eyes are riddled with sincerity, and you can’t help but believe him, though your gut begs you to not.

Bitting the inner of your cheek you mumble, “Right, that’s a load of shit.”

“I care. I care a lot,” he tilts your chin up, and he says almost in a whisper, “Let me show you.”

Suddenly, Theo dips in and his hand gently wraps to cup the dip of your cheek, pressing his warm lips against yours. Caught by surprise, you stiffen, but as his warmth wraps around your body, the walls you’d built up crumble down, and you can’t help but give in.

Dionysus Board Game

Board Game Geek Rating:5.57

Board Game Geek Avg Player Rating:8.46

Players: 1 to 4

Published: 2020

Content Notes:Kickstarter Exclusive Dionysus Board Game Expansion for Mythic Battles: Pantheon 1.5 by Mythic Games. Includes 1 God miniature, 3 Satyr miniatures, 1 dashboard, 9 Activation cards, 1 Troops card, and 1 Recruitment Card. Requires Mythic Battles: Pantheon core game to play (sold separately) to play. Please note: unless otherwise stated paid add ons from the Kickstarter Campaign are not included.

New 2018 expansion for Mythic Battles Pantheon

With Dionysus, we didn’t want to create a combat-oriented unit, but rather a control oriented unit that represented opulence and chaos.

Let’s start by looking at the power Orgiastic Procession which aims to simulate the arrival of Dionysus, accompanied by one of his procession. This power gives the player several troops who, themselves, have many activation cards. The goal is to support the notion of opulence, which is emphasized by the number of art of war cards that brings Dionysus, as well as a high number of life points.

The satyr children also help Dionysus controlling the map because they all possess the block talent. However, we don’t imagine that it is by physical might they manage to block off their enemies; it is because the units in their areas are too busy drinking their wine and feasting.

The power of the satyr children makes it clear that Dionysus is not here to kill the opponents by fighting, but on the contrary, for them to lose themselves in the chaotic bliss of merriment. This power greatly disrupts an opponent’s position and, in effect, offers significant control on the map to Dionysus.

If the satyr children can neither attack nor collect gems, we imagine it is because they are busy serving wine to all the units in their area. This is represented by their block talent, as we have seen above, but also by the Bolster talent of the troops and the intoxicating power of Dionysus. This power, meanwhile, can generate chaos in the opponent’s cards by forcing him to discard cards from his deck.

Clearly, Dionysus can be a technical unit to play, due to his low mobility which requires careful placement on the map. Despite this, he is ubiquitous on the field and has the capability to disrupt the opponent’s strategy. This, combined with the fact that he can send satyr children to bring him Omphalos (simulated by the talent gem collector), allows one to achieve victory by attaining Omphalos.

My secret Santa gift for @aph-america I hope you like it! The prompt I chose was sci-fi au and I wanted to practice doing a different way of writing a fic so this is what I came up with.

Rating: Explicit (18+)

Word count: 1,641

From the Research of Alfred F. Jones

These are the notes that I, senior biological researcher, Alfred F. Jones have taken of the newly discovered intelligent alien life forms known as ‘rocerits’. Contact between our species was made about seven months ago when our vessel The Nebula responded to a distress call from a free floating botany ship. In a one-in-a-billion moment, a meteorite had shot through their fuel storage leaving them stranded until we came to help.

Seeing this new biological discovery, my superior Dr.Kirkland and I went about documenting the many physical discrepancies between our species and theirs. Noted major differences were their enormous height (avg. 7’ 7” ft/ 231 cm), large weight (avg. 324 lbs/ 147 kg), lightly pink colored skin, and the strange way their language, for the most part, matched up in tones with the human language Russian.

The purpose of this paper is for supplemental information and further details on their basic biological functions can be found through Dr.Kirkland’s reports. My motivation for writing this is that I wanted to take a more thorough look into the rocerits’ romantic and sexual habits and by my luck, the head botanist, hereby known by the alias “Vanya”, was more than ready to help me gather my information.

Subject

Name: “Vanya”

Human Sex Equivalent: Male

Human Age Equivalent: 24 years old

Height: Unusually short for his species at 6’ 5” ft/196 cm

Weight: 253 lbs/115 kg

Skin Details: A light pastel pink color, similar in texture to humans except much harder to cut/prick

Eyes: Deep purple, the most common type of color for their species

Hair: A silver-white color, almost blonde

Other Physical Descriptors: Thick but pillowy thighs, wide hips, slight pudge around stomach, and no nipples as they do not breastfeed

In just the first few months of meeting, Vanya adjusted to the Earth language Russian and fascinatingly, learned quite a bit of English to be able to carry on the conversations necessary for our research. This is what I’ve recorded from the last couple months of our interactions.

Cooler Body Temperature

From the jump, rocerits do not consume food like the way humans do but instead work like plants by using large bodies of heat/light to convert to energy. Because of this, their bodies are much cooler than ours in order to withstand the heat for longer periods of time and interestingly, it seems that they are highly attracted to the warmth generated by other biological beings, such as humans.

A tip for those sharing a room with a rocerit: if sleeping in separate beds, keep the room warm (72°F/ 22°C minimum) and use a personal fan for yourself. If you’re sharing the same bed, keep the temperature however you want but be prepared to be cuddled by an enormous cool body.

Transcript of a recording taken 07/24/2XXX at 1:13 AM:

[BEGIN LOG]

(There’s the muffled sound of sheets rustling)

Alfred: (Groggily) Well good morning to you too Vanya~

Vanya: (Surprised) O-Oh um…wrong bed sorry–

(Vanya attempts to leave. More rustling happens followed by a yelp and a thudding against the bed)

Alfred: Hey, where do you think you’re going?

Vanya: As I said, I-I just got into the wrong bed…

(No response)

Alfred: Dude if you wanted to cuddle you could’ve just asked.

(No response)

Alfred: C’mere.

(Alfred positions Vanya and himself to be facing each other, legs entwined and bodies pressed flushed)

Alfred: Hmm, so soft and cool~ You’re so nice to hold.

(It’s quiet except for the sound of soft breathing)

Vanya: …So are you.

[END LOG]

Scenting Glands

Rocerits express intimacy first through scenting their partner with pheromones secreted from glands located around their neck and shoulders. Hugs are seen as a more intimate act between each other and in Vanya’s case, he was a big cuddler. Due to a past incident Vanya did not want disclosed to this paper, there was scaring around his neck that affected his ability to scent others. However, to my surprise, it still had such an intense effect on even humans that I practically couldn't even keep my hands off him.

A tip for a quick solution to a horny rocerit: litter their neck and shoulders with hickeys/bite marks to bring them to a fast climax.

Transcript of a recording taken 08/16/2XXX at 7:36 PM:

[BEGIN LOG]

(A chair sound squeaks because Vanya is clinging to Jones’ back over his chair in his office)

Alfred: (Amused) What are you doing?

Vanya: You said you would be done by now.

Alfred: I know, but Artie keeps piling on more information for me to add to this report. Look, how about in an hour ngh–

(The taller man takes a light bite of the exposed skin above Jones’ shirt collar)

Alfred: (Stifling a whine in his throat) D-Dude, I’m almost done. Believe me, I wanna fuck you so bad…just let me finish and save this paragraph.

(In irritation, Vanya pulls Jones away from his desk to sit on his lap in his chair)

Vanya: Humans are impossible creatures, you overwork yourselves, your biology is complicated and messy, (he begins releasing pheromones to entice Jones) and you only respond when I have to take drastic measures.

Alfred: (Shudders from the effects) God, such a needy man! You wanna cum so badly huh? Fine.

(Alfred keeps the man held tightly in his embrace. There’s a small noise of clothing being removed as he takes off Vanya’s scarf to leave a multitude of hickeys around the scarring of his neck. The next several minutes are filled with the sound of lips against skin, Vanya’s moaning, and the chair’s creaking growing louder. When Alfred gives his Adam’s apple a sharp bite, there’s a sudden loud gasp that turns into a low groan. All that’s left heard is the sound of quiet breathing)

Alfred: (Breathing labored) There, are you happy now? My lips feel all numb and tingly.

Vanya: Hmm, now it is your turn~

(He tries to grab at Alfred’s pants but the man bats his hands away)

Alfred: Ah ah ah, come on man, I need to finish this report or Artie’ll put a strike against me. Here, (hands him his room keys) you can clean up in my room and I’ll meet you when I’m done ‘kay?

[END LOG]

Intercourse

With a lack of a digestive system, rocerits do not have a need for a colon or anus. However, reproduction still requires a male and female individual. Female rocerits, like female humans, have a vulva, and males have a penis while their testicles remain inside their cooled bodies. In a fascinating discovery, similar to how all human sexes retain their nipples, rocerit biology also has all sexes retain an orifice between their legs that works in a similar function to a vagina with the exception that males of the species are unable to carry children. With Vanya’s help, I’ve also learned how, evolutionarily, their hole is able to clench down tight onto their partner to ensure that pregnancy happens.

A tip for those in the penetrative position with a rocerit: be absolutely prepared to be connected to your partner for a while as their orgasms last longer than humans.

Transcript of a recording taken 09/04/2XXX at 3:48 PM:

[BEGIN LOG]

(Alfred sits on his knees between Vanya’s spread legs, both are only in their underwear)

Vanya: Why does the recording need to be on now?

Alfred: I told you I need to get this on record for my research!

Vanya: You just want to record us having sex.

Alfred: No! This is purely for educational purposes and will be totally helpful for future interspecies research.

Vanya: (Deadpan) Right. Because nothing is more informational than pornography.

(There's a pause of silence between the two)

Alfred: (Quietly) …Are you cool with it? I can stop the recording if you want.

(Another pause)

Vanya: You are sweet~ (He pulls him down for a kiss) Go on, gather all the “research” you need.

(For a few minutes the sounds of kissing and soft moans are heard. At the rustling of clothing being removed, heavier breathing and the wet noise of Alfred fingering Vanya open fill the room)

Alfred: God, when I bite your shoulder you squeeze my fingers so damn tightly… (Teasingly) Want me to make you cum from just my hand~?

Vanya: Nyet! (Scenting grows) Alfred please…

(Alfred, head hazy, growls and hurries to slam himself inside the older man. The constant squeaking of the bed is soon drowned out by Vanya’s cries and Alfred’s grunting as they build up a fast, desperate rhythm)

Alfred: (Muffled against Vanya’s neck) Shit– So good! So go–ghh!

(After a bit, Vanya lets slip a whine, clinging to the smaller man as he reaches orgasm. Alfred tenses when Vanya involuntarily clenches down, gripping him in a bruising hold and making him cum immediately)

Alfred: Fuck hah–!

(Vanya is still out of it when Alfred comes back to his senses and, unable to pull out, is easily overstimulated)

Alfred: Ivah–Vanya let go, pleeease! (He cums again) Ngh–

(The taller man, exhausted, finally calms down enough to release Alfred with a pleased hum. The younger man is near passing out when he collapses limp onto Vanya as the audio then goes silent)

[END LOG]

After about nine months, we were finally able to fully repair their ship. Passing along planet coordinates, we expect our species to make further contact with each other within the next few years. I thank the rocerits for their cooperation in our data collecting and I specifically expect to continue my work with Vanya for the foreseeable future.

Note: Alfred I am not going to publish what is essentially smut! Stop sending this to my desk!

I know this is supposed to be a queer blog, but I'm having a bit of an existential crisis relating to mental health and wanted to know if you have any advice or know where I can get advice?

So recently, I've been having a little "hey, I might be somewhere on the plurality spectrum that isn't singlet" realization, for a whole host of reasons I'm not gonna get into right now.

But I took a test that calculates your dissociation levels on a scale from 0 to 100. And on there they had a chart, listing the average levels for different disorders (so avg. adult population (5.4), anxiety (7), schizophrenia (15.4), ptsd (31), did (48), etc) and well,

I got a 47.86

I knew going in that this was not going to be 100% accurate, especially because I'm a teen and the one designed for adolescents the web page seems to have vanished, but still. I knew I was minorly dissociating almost all the time but that's a lot.

Sooo.... if you have advice for me or know of anywhere I can get advice, that would be much appreciated bc I am in a state of AH right now and it's not fun

hello my dear!

thank you for reaching out and please do not feel worried about approaching any topics on this blog!

my best advice, given i am not a medical or mental health professional, is to contact one. i know it can be really scary and you may face barriers depending on where you live, you age etc. but in most places, you can seek free mental health care that would certainly give you some piece of mind and provide you with an appropriate support plan.

while the internet is not a perfect diagnostic criteria, you know yourself best and if you have suspicions something is not typical, you should certainly seek the right support and guidance for that.

i recommend doing a search for services in your area.

i am so proud of you and your courage in trying to seek clarity and support and am always here if there’s anything i can do! mental health is so important and you are amazing for being proactive about it.

request: watching Goosebumps with some sweet’n’salty popcorn dressed as a traffic cone with Osamu || fluffy-angsty, Halloween Party with crush Osamu

Up until a few minutes ago you thought, the worst day of your life was when your now ex-boyfriend broke up with you in the middle of a supermarket. You still couldn‘t look at a can of peas without getting flashbacks. But when a car drove past you and splashed your costume which was already unfit for the cold to begin with, you were certain it couldn‘t get any worse than this. The friend who had invited you to the Halloween party left around the time you lost your last bit of sanity with some Dracula she just met, taking her car and thus your ride with her. When she called to apologize for leaving you behind, it was clear that you had become nothing but an afterthought, and even the promise of a free lunch the next day did nothing to lighten your mood or lessen the simmering feeling of abandonment. You shuddered in a cold breeze, goosebumps forming on your arms and legs. No taxi in sight and the street was filled with drunk partygoers howling and screaming - you just wanted to be home and wash this stupid night off you with the longest hottest shower known to man.

You ignored the notification about your dying battery and tapped around for the number of a taxi service or an Uber. But of course, just your luck, everyone you called was busy. If it wasn‘t so late and dark and cold and wet you might have considered walking. It wasn‘t too far away in the grand scheme of things - at least compared to other places like, say, China. But you stopped after only a couple of homeward steps. Being ever so helpful, your mom had recently sent you link after link to articles from various newspapers all warning people to not walk the streets alone after dark for a spike of crime during the costume season, finishing off the sinister spam with an obligatory kiss emoji. As you (very bravely) held back tears you scrolled through your contacts, trying to figure out which of them you wouldn‘t mind losing if you woke them up at 1 a.m. to pick you up from a random Halloween party somewhere in the outskirts of Kobe.

Halfway through the E‘s your phone finally shut down. Great.

You sniffled, slung your arms closer to your body for a bit of warmth, and started walking. Some convenience store might sell a charger or have a payphone at least, you told yourself.

Cars whooshed past, groups of friends staggered dangerously close to the road and the wetness from the earlier drive-by splash slowly seeped through the last layer of fabric. It truly couldn‘t get any worse. That was until a few minutes later when a handful of guys stumbled out of a bar in front of you, clearly very drunk. You braced yourself, holding tightly to the small purse you carried, and looked at the ground as you walked by them. Unfortunately, you weren‘t quite as invisible as you would have liked. You heard many sets of steps fall in behind you. Not wanting them to think you just assumed they meant any harm, you tried to steady your breathing but ever so slightly increased your pace. So did the steps behind you. You lengthened your stride again, making the men behind you laugh and call out, “What are you running from, little butterball?! There should be enough for all of us!“

Throwing caution to the wind you began to run, your eyes spotting the telltale sign of a convenience store like a shining beacon just up ahead. More laughter, wolf whistling, and something that sounded very much like someone running after you. Your heart pumped with adrenaline, your lungs were burning - when was the last time you ran anywhere but a short sprint to the bus? You couldn‘t keep this up for long, surely he would catch up with you any moment. You dared to look behind you but in your hurry couldn‘t spot the person following. Taking a deep breath you were ready to let out a scream when you bumped into something very solid.

Two strong hands steadied you by your shoulders and a familiar voice said, “Oh, sorry. - Hey, ya okay?“

You didn‘t care anymore and just held onto their puffy jacket, squeezing your eyes shut.

Whoever it was, put an arm around your shoulder and you heard him bark, “Keep walkin‘.“,

Ignoring the inappropriate comments that followed, you began to cry and a second arm came up to wrap around you.

“It‘s alright.“, he said calmly, “They‘re gone. Yer good.“

You sniffled again and looked up.

“O-samu?”, you hiccuped in between the syllables.

He looked around, then noticed your wet costume and pulled you into the warmth of the convenience store.

Once he ushered you to the seating area facing the shop window he shrugged off his jacket to put it around your shoulders. Then he excused himself for a moment and went to collect just about every hot food item the store had to offer from deliciously steaming ramen and sticky skewers to Chinese buns with different fillings, one savory, one sweet. His short absence allowed you to take deep breaths of his jacket collar. That warm, woody scent that had driven you crazy for months was just what you needed to calm down. The last couple of minutes already felt like they happened hours ago and you shuddered to think what would have happened if he hadn’t been there. You turned around in your chair and watched him consider the beverage shelf by the door, until he eventually shrugged and grabbed an armful of various flavors. Seeing him balance everything to the cash register and dumping it on the already teetering mountain of food made you smile, then chuckle which helped release some of the nervous energy still pent up in your body. You pulled the puffy parka closer to you, thinking about the many many times you had hoped the handsome store owner would ask you out. Often enough he had reciprocated a flirty comment that slipped out from you, making you question whether he meant it or if he just considered that good service. You surely would have enough opportunity to overthink later but right now you were just so very glad someone you knew was there to help. As you ate, you explained the situation between fewer and fewer sobs.

“No problem.”, he said, pinching off a piece from the steamed red bean bun, “I’ll take ya home.”

“Thank you so so much. I owe you.”

“Don’t even think about it. Least I can do for my favorite customer.”, he grinned and took another piece of bun.

“Bet you say that to everyone.”, you mumbled, then quickly blew on the noodles to cover the comment.

“Can’t believe ya think that low of me.”, he joked and shook his head in pretend sadness.

You pushed the half eaten bun over to him, “Peace offering?”

“Well, if ya insist.” He happily took a large bite and you laughed.

The car ride to your place was pleasantly quiet. You took the opportunity to take a couple more inconspicuous whiffs of his jacket before finally handing it back to him when you got out.

“Thank you again so so much. You’re a lifesaver.”

“No worries.”, Osamu hesitated for a moment, then added, “I meant it, ya know. Yer my favorite. I hope yer coming by tomorrow so I can make ya forget those jerks. Food’s on the house, of course.”

Your cheeks began to hurt from so much smiling.

“I’d love that. See you tomorrow.”

Probably gonna contact my dr about adjusting my basal rates when they’re open next but I worry they won’t listen to my concerns because my blood sugar looks great on paper (avg bg of 133) but in practice I’ve been scarfing down a cylinder (or more) of glucose tabs a day because it keeps going low and barely wants to stay above 100 despite doing less than half the recommended bolus for meals

Last night I went to bed with it at 250 and woke up to my CGM beeping at me because it was 69. I’m tired of this and I’m tired of my DR not listening to me.
