Some very tasteful words. Eating out. Mentions of semi-public intercourse (Albedo). Mentions of drugs (Kazuha). Body worship and praising. Featured: Thoma, Kazuha, Diluc, Itto, Albedo Next: Pussy Slayers Minors, Please Leave ____________________________________________________

Thoma

Always looking forward to servicing his beloved.

Whether to take the edge off or just to end the night good, Thoma’s always excited about going down on you. Sometimes you wonder if he likes it more than you do. He’s always eager to please just to see you fall asleep with a peace of mind and a happy smile.

Thoma loves everything about you; the way you taste, the way you sound, the way your hands hold his face when you finish and tell him how much you love him. His eyes are clouded with nothing but love when he sees you smile above him and tell him he did good.

He’d want you to ride his face, go on for hours till your legs go limp, and anything he’ll do, he’ll do for you. Just ask.

“Oh, my love. Did that feel good? You’re so beautiful.”

You insist on sucking Thoma off sometimes, but he’d rather prefer making you cum. He's more turned on with the fact that you’d feel great because of him. He lives for the way your back arches as he sucks your clit, your whines when he kisses your inner thigh.

Thoma’s a tease sometimes- slowing as he kisses down your abdomen, giving you a handful of praises before eating you out.

Thoma’s aftercare is also legendary. He’s a pleaser, we all know that, and to make you feel good and comfortable is the most rewarding thing he can ask for.

Kazuha

Kazuha’s a languid lover; love poems, slow nights, slow sex. He wants to take his time and make sure he treats you nice and well.

You love when he does it high. He’s sloppy, messy, not caring where anything goes as long as you’re on his mouth. Even when he’s a giggly mess, cheeks red and hair unkempt, his grace in his movements never cease to amaze you.

He looks at you, eyes red and glazed over, but watching you barely contain yourself with the way he does it so slowly? The way he catches your grip on his bedsheets? When your thighs sandwich his face into your pussy? God, Kazuha can live in this moment forever. 

His hold on your thighs is light; occasionally running his hands up and down your sides. He praises you for being patient, asking if you could moan his name like that again if you have enough energy for a nice, slow fuck later.

‘My pretty girl, you’re so good to me.’

The last parts are his favorite. When he’s finally done with you, seeing you lazily smile to yourself, your legs on his shoulders still shaking after making you cum on his pretty lips- it was like heaven on earth. 

Kazuha would trail lazy kisses from your inner thigh to your abdomen, the middle of your chest and finally your lips. You didn’t even care where his mouth had been- the messiness of his kiss, the daze and high melting into one, Kazuha’s tongue still going at it in your mouth- you both could never get tired of this.

Of course, the nap after that is always the best too if you’re cuddled up in Kazuha’s arms.

Diluc

He’s completely lost in the moment, brows furrowed and grip on your shaking thighs getting tighter. He wants to get carried away, pin you down until you cream all over his face, but he wants to do this for you. He’ll do that later on.

Diluc listens to every command you make even though he knows best how to make you feel good in ways you never even thought of. He takes pride in knowing what things make you squirm.

You’re bucking your hips upwards because he’s just that good, moaning his name loud enough to be heard in Mondstadt. Diluc doesn’t mind; he needs to let the world know you’re his.

He won’t stop until he appreciates the mess he turned you into. Where had the teasing from earlier gone? Where were your brave words from earlier, saying how you’ll make him into a shaking, begging mess. 

Wherever that may be, Diluc would never tease you for it- instead smiling to himself and steadying his pace to give you the most mind-blowing orgasm you could ever experience. 

“Cum for me, love. Let me take care of you.”

Diluc’s a gentleman. He’ll make sure you’re nice and ready before taking his cock and maybe let you rest a few minutes before continuing (that is if he won’t get pussydrunk). He'd massage your thighs and tell you that you did so well, placing loving kisses on your body.

After the greatest aftercare with his deep voice, a nice warm bath and a new change of sheets, Diluc would make sure you’ll have the best sleep of your life, so you’ll have energy for it again the next day.

Itto

Itto is messy. Too excited and sometimes even too immature but God, is he good at making sure you finish.

He wants to make it known that you’re his. His hold on your hips and thighs would be tight enough to leave a mark, bites on your inner thighs are misplaced and random, all for him to admire and replace the next time he sees them fading.

Itto’s more vocal than you sometimes. Praising you like you’re a blessing carved by the gods themselves. It’s usually a mix of praises and low grunts but you love it anyways. You love the way his voice rumbles in your core.

He lives for the moment when you’d tug at his hair (and horns)- relishing each time you’d find your voice and tell him ‘good boy’. It gets him good when you praise him as much as he praises you.

He can barely focus with his hard-on- seeing you throw your head back in pleasure and moan his name like it’s the last time you’ll ever say it. That keeps him going. He needs to pleasure his pretty girl, right?

“Just like that, baby, tell me how you want it.”

Despite wanting to spoil you, Itto almost always wants to jerk himself off but hearing you moan and beg and praise him will always be enough to make him cum. Before you know it, he’s whimpering out your name, begging for you to make him cum.

He won’t, however. He’ll save his load for when he’s inside you later on.

Albedo

In his lab in Dragonspine. Albedo likes privacy and likes to encourage you to moan as loud as you want. Nobody’s coming anyways (except you.)

Albedo loves taking you to his lab for two reasons: to show you his experiments and studies, to have a little ‘fun’. Sometimes just to de-stress after a failed study or to make you feel nice to make up for nights he’s deep in his research.

He loves watching you squirm above him while you’re pinned up against a wall. He kneels down, never breaking eye contact while he does it.

Albedo makes sure to go excruciatingly slow while licking your clit just to see that specific expression on your face. Try as you might to have him move more, Albedo would hold you still and tell you to settle down.

“Stop squirming Y/N and let me see that pretty face.”

You can barely feel the blistering cold with how hot these moments make you feel. Albedo’s warm tongue gliding up and down your folds, your skin burning and heart pumping with excitement.

Sometimes, Albedo hopes that someone would walk into you both, only for the fact that he can show them how much he can make you feel good.

He loves studying your features when he does this. Your body’s reactions to him, the expressions, the sounds you make- it was all so fascinating and so rewarding. Albedo makes sure to have you finish with the most mind-blowing sensation time and time again. It’s the least he could do for toying with you for that long.

And I love you.

At first I was like Raylu???? Then I noticed you mentioned autocorrect and I was like ah- Rauru.

You absolutely can. I love every part of this idea. I feel like a perfect companion to Sage is one that is just such a sunshiney baby.

Anyway, I meant to get this out last night after work, but I got high instead and spent an hour watching the ceiling fan. I also wrote like the weirdest draft ideas and I'm deciding if they're worth fleshing out at all.

(Sage is TotK Link!)

Also smut so MDNI! 18+

Smut CW: Breeding kink, baby trapping, reader is a little naive. Sage. He's a crusty little bastard. (affectionately) Dumbification.

It had many names, the Legend of the Dragon's Daughter. Many of which titled it as either a legend or a story. A myth. Some warned of great dangers surrounding the aura of the spirit the legend told about. Other's told of the pure divinity that this being held in the palm of their hand. The grace and adroitness that lined their very pores was spoken of so fondly by the older generations who had heard the story from their own grandparents, who had heard it from theirs and so on and so forth. The older Zora especially spoke of her in such a tone he found himself lending a little belief to the legend.

The story told of a daughter, blessed to the first King and Queen of Hyrule by the Three Goddesses themselves. A princess bestowed with the gift of beauty and grace, a beacon to the budding kingdom. There were even carvings under Hyrule Castle, hidden by toppled boulders, that portrayed her image.

And he would admit. She looked like a being having been blessed by the heavens above.

The carvings had showed an ugly side to an already bitter story. How this princess, this goddess sculpted muse, was struck down by the Demon King as a means to get back at both King Rauru and Queen Sonia. The carvings from there had been too worn down to get a clear reading, but it was enough to pique his interest. Besides, what else did he have to do? Save a princess who had no issues with leaving him to die? Deal with monsters that the people of Hyrule already knew damn well how to deal with and were no longer scared of them? Traverse the depths and all the lightroots he had already found?

At least this way, he may get some new power out of it. If nothing else, at least he had a good story for Traysi.

His first area to investigate was the sky island he woke up on. He could still spot Rauru's spirit in certain areas, understanding the solemn look he seemed to wear much more than he previously did.

It was also much easier to travel around the island this time around, which was a bonus.

When prodded for answers, something complicated flashed over the spirit's face before it settled into a Grim acceptance. One Link had worn too often right after remembering the untimely demise of the Champions.

"She was gravely injured. My precious sunshine. I almost lost her that day." He had spoken in a grave echo, eyes glazed and far off, as if seeing his daughter right in front of him. "My sister, Mineru, had offered her services in an effort to preserve her soul. I am unsure if it had worked. I haven't had the heart to look. I would be such a disappointment to her fiery heart and iron strong will to shine in the brightest ways possible. She was kept in the Temple of Time if you are at all curious."

He was. He was curious. He wanted to see this being for himself. If Rauru spoke so highly of you, it had to be worth it. And it was either this or go save Zelda, and he figured she was fine doing what she currently was for a little while longer.

At least until he looked further into this.

Walking into the temple, he hummed to himself as he looked around, spotting the blue glow of Rauru near a wall closer to the exit. He nodded solemnly when Link approached. The hand that matched his own raised to the wall, pulling forth one of those green symbols that chimed at his hand. The bricks shuffled and moved while Rauru faded out, leaving an unactive construct in front of him. It rattled to life, chirping up at him before recognizing that he was friend and not foe. The Construct explained that he was designed to protect the chasm the Princess was being kept in, but since Rauru had deemed him worthy, he would escort the blond to the place. It wasn't a long journey, not at all, just down a spiraling staircase with stone walls curtained by moss.

But the moment he laid eyes on you, he understood why you were hidden.

You face was lax in such a peaceful expression as your body remained weightless, suspended in a bubble of seafoam green and ocean blue. Your hair was splaying up behind you as if you were underwater with your hands clasped around a hilt of a sword. Even the sword itself was divinity in a blade, glowing a bright white from it's place in front of you. You were clad in white robes trimmed in cold with a stone necklace laced around your delicate neck, those same white earrings hanging from your ears.

You were...ethereal. From the curve of your jawbone to the plump flesh of your cheeks, he was enthralled by your very essence. The curve of your shoulders and the toned flow of your arms, even the dip in your collarbone-- all of it had his eyes trailing every bend and curve of your body.

What he wouldn't do to get a piece of you.

He ached to just touch your sun-kissed skin, to feel it under his palms as he held you. To feel the run of your hips, fingers gripping at the dips that decorated them. To paint them a splattering of blues and purples in a lasting reminder of who he was and what he had done to you. To bite and nibble at the flesh just to hear the kind of cries you would make.

Goddess, he couldn't imagine what your voice sounded like, but he wanted to. He wanted to hear what it sounded like while you breathlessly gasped out. To hear what it sounded like when you cried out his name in pure ecstasy as you withered underneath of him. To hear you give yourself to him entirely.

He wanted to feel your weight on top of him, to experience your hands in his hair (Or cupping his cheeks if he chose to allow himself that vulnerability), to live in your orbit, worshipping you as his one true Goddess.

His eyes landed on the same green symbol that unlocked everything pertaining to the Zonai. He raised his hand in response. It lit up a bright green before fading. The bubble shined brightly before growing, eventually popping and exposing you to the elements. Which why? You were so vulnerable like that? Why not just give you to him directly? You were at risk like this. Couldn't they SEE THAT-

Whatever invisible force keeping you suspended gently laid you on your feet, which were bare, only adorned with an anklet matching your necklace. The tip of the sword in your hand clinked against the stone floor. The echo of it made your eyes, your gorgeous, gorgeous eyes, snap open. If he thought seeing you before was captivating, this was downright...enchanting. The light of your irises positively glowed as your silently gasped, hands tightening around the hilt of the weapon. He rushed to your side as he saw your balance falter, cradling you in his arms as one of your hands came to gently hold your own temple. Even just the sound of your groan made him swallow hard, fighting the blood threatening to rush to his (dick-) cheeks.

You blinked before realizing that he was not someone you knew, pushing him away with much more force than he would expect from someone fresh out of a comatose state. The only thing stopping him from wrapping his arms around you once more was the tip of the very blade now prodding at his neck. He swallowed.

"Who are you?" You demanded, hold on the weapon shaking just a tad.

(Which was so adorable. How someone like you, all soft skin and doe eyes, expected to make someone like him, rugged scars and gnarled morals, bend to you was beyond him.)

(But he'd love to see you try anyway.)

"Where are my people?! Or Queen Sonia and King Rauru?!" Oh, you were so cute.

He wanted to decimate that innocence you carried.

With a careful hand, he gently pushed the blade aside with the back of a hand, letting a smug smirk settle on his lips. Your cheeks immediately reddened as your attention remained on him. Just as he liked it, he decided then and there. He liked having your attention (and only yours) on him. But having you acting so hostile towards him just wouldn't stand. But you didn't know any better, not yet anyway, so he'd let it slide.

He gently explained that you had been fatally wounded protecting your people, something that your parents were endlessly proud of you for-- even in death. While it was a direct shot in his, admittedly lacking, heart to be the one to tell you of the passed time and the death of your parents (The sacrifice of your father and the betrayal that lead to your mother's death), he was evidently the best and only option. He understood, on an intimate level, what it was like to loose so much time, healing yourself, while the rest of the world carried on, carrying the loss of friends and family with it. He knew what it was like. It had to be why you two were so perfect for each other.

He held you as your cried, soothing down your hair as your tears (Which should never have been shed) soaked his shoulder. While he was never interested in defeating the Demon King for Zelda's sake, he may have just found another motive.

One much more worthy of his time and attention.

<><><><>

When he first saw you, he understood why you were hidden, on a surface level.

He understood why much more on a deeper, more intimate one now.

You were so bubbly. Even when faced with the devastation of your home, you remained optimistic, greeting the constructs that roamed around happily. Bestowing your cherished kisses (Those should belong to him.) upon their cold exterior while wiping them free of dirt. Even the wildlife that had squawked and charged at him crooned and chirped under your touch, hankering for the scratches you gifted them under the chin. You saw beauty in the overrun weeds and fauna, taking great interest in the new species that had popped up.

When he took to the mainland, via shrine travel because he would be damned before you got down the same way he originally did, it seemed like you couldn't see everything fast enough. You loved exploring the caves, despite the Like-Likes baring their disgusting teeth and innards (Which he quickly disposed of), ached to get as close as possible to the chasms (Which wasn't very as he refused to risk you falling in), yearned to traverse the mountain peaks and snow dunes of the mainland (Which killed him on the inside since didn't you know how dangerous those were?!).

You were quite the adventurer, full of inexperienced naivety and unpoised curiosity. The exact opposite of the princess he knew. He forgot you were royalty have the time with your mannerisms, nothing like Zelda. Which was so refreshing.

If only you weren't so fragile. He would never admit it (Too your face at least) that he's thought of just tying you down and keeping you in his (He saw it as your shared home these days) home. It was on the far outskirts of Tarrey town (Far enough no one would hear your cries for help should it come to that) with a pasture out front so you could keep a horse nearby as a friend (Should you behave).

(It wouldn't be a young, steady horse. No, most likely an older horse who had long since retired from any sort of running or getaway attempts.)

He just needed a way to keep you stationary.

And it hit him like a Hinox. You two were walking around Hateno (It was deemed safe and far enough from Tarry Town that it was still new to you), when you stopped, let out a high enough squeal his ears pinned to his head as his head snapped towards you. You were always in his peripheral, but now you were right in front of him with his hands quickly holding your arms, checking you over for injury. There were none, but you were beaming like someone had handed you a million rupees (He would. He could. He'd do it just for you), instead redirecting his attention with a call of 'Link, look!'. He had followed your line of sight just as you began squeezing his own hands, expecting you to be aweing over a cow or goat or, Goddess forbid, a dog again (You very nearly took one of stable dogs home last time). But you weren't.

And that's when it hit him.

You were loosing any semblance of a mind you had over a small infant, strapped to their mother's back by a wrap of some sort. The babe smiled at your reaction, letting out a small cascade of giggles that had you squealing in pure joy.

That was it.

The answer was right there! How could he have been so blind?! It was right there. If he gave you a baby, his baby no less, you would have no choice but to remain dormant. You would have to stay right where he put you to not only protect yourself, but to your protect your child. He had no doubt you would do it. You were too kind, too naive, for any other option. Once you figured out you were carrying his child, you'd fall for thing, claiming it as your own before it was any bigger than an apple seed.

And from then on it would just be a matter of formalities. You'd be his for the rest of your lives.

Exactly what he wanted.

Exactly what had led up to this moment. You were nothing but a babbling, crying mess underneath of him, pulling at the roots of his hair as he folded your legs against your chest. You were pleading with him, some mindless demand that he wasn't even sure you knew what you were asking, but it was background noise. He was too focused on watching the way he disappearing into your cunt, a milky sheen coating the shaft of his cock as heavy dollops of past loads dripped past your gaping opening. It was mesmerizing the way your body reacted to him, sucking him in and fighting him every time he pulled out. Even on an unconscious level, you ached for him. Not nearly as much as he breathed for you, but that would come with time. He knew it would. He'd ensure it.

The cry of his name on your lips had the coil in his gut steadily tightening as his pace picked up, thoroughly hammering your insides. He needed to make sure he was prodded right against your cervix for this to work. He needed to get this right. He needed to father any and all of your children. Starting here and now.

Whether you knew about it or not.

You had babbled something about him pulling out too long ago, but he had...distracted you with long laps at your clit and soft nipples along your thighs. He didn't even think of truly ruining you until you were clenching your thighs around his head and drenching his bottom jaw, too gone to properly process anything going on around you.

And he'd keep it that way.

His thumb, rough and calloused, rubbed harsh little circles into your clit, feeling it pulse in time with his ministrations. You whimpered beneath him, chest arching up to push against his own as you cried out, squeezing around him. You were positively milking him for every drop he had to offer.

There was no way you didn't want his children. Not with the way you were clenching around him as he jutted as far as he could go, filling your womb once more. You laid boneless beneath him, hands dropping to hang around his neck as he took a moment to breath. Your cunt spasmed once more and his cock twitched inside of you.

"You're not done yet, are you, Princess?" He purred into your ear, making it flicker as he rolled his hips against yours, even if overstimulation rocked his entire system in a flash of shot nerves.

None of that mattered to him. He had a mission. A mission he would do anything to accomplish.

Anything to keep you as his.

Yes, the reader was holding the Light Sword. Yes, I know that's not how you get it. I just thought it would be a cool tidbit bc YES, Sage seems like the type to get turned on by a hot princess threatening with a sword.

A Demigods desire

◇ NSFW~ 18+ only ◇ Minors/Ageless blogs DNI◇ You will be blocked ◇

Finished writing: unfinished

Pairings: DomGn! Reader, C!Foolish

Warnings: shibari, not complete

An: Welcome to the first post of the unfinished masterlist. A bunch of broken drafts I have no motivation of finishing and hope you'll show some love

Contrary to people's beliefs Foolish is a very busy demigod. He was almost always at ready to help Las Nevadas with whatever it required, to offer his building services to other, and even work on his own on the side. Not only that but he had side goals as well. A debt to be repaid. All of these things meant a great deal of thinking and there were sometimes he wished to never think again. Luckily you were very good at offering that.

"I dont understand," Foolish tilted his head confused at you holding the rope.

"I think you know exactly what I mean," you hummed.

The totem hybrid only squinted before taking a step back in realization. "Oh," his cheeks flushed and he began nodding.

You began moving towards his throne room, the land puppy in tow behind you.

"Is this something you'd like to try now?" You asked looking back at him.

He didn't say much. The only noise he made was the sound of his knees hitting the ground. There in front of his very own throne the demigod was looking up at you with glossy eyes.

Foolish knew he couldn't get much further without giving you what you wanted though.

"Please," he licked over his lips.

"Good boy," You began removing the clothing over where you would bind, which happened to be everything.

The rope traveled over his shoulder, around his chest, under his thigh. Each length across his skin carefully laid to be safe yet pretty. You pulled back to admire your work. Eyes lingering over his body, glowing golden from the sun's departing light.

A finger moved between the rope and his skin checking for how tight it was looped around his body. You returned to his throne, sitting down to watch him closely. The rise and fall of his chest, the faint flush covering sections of his bare skin.

"Look at you," you hummed. The demigod glanced up at with glazed eyes. "You look pretty like this,"

Foolish's breath caught in his throat, the hybrid hanging off of your every word. "Sitting so pretty and perfect wrapped on display,"

It was a cute design with a heart on his chest, not that Foolish noticed. There was something about being wrapped in those ropes. about being on display that stuffed the brain with fuzzy cotton.

He needed this.

While the hybrid could easily snap the rope with his unusual strength, you knew he wouldn't. It wasn't long at all before the falling sun had turned into silky moonlight on his skin.

------

Foolish shuddered in your grasp, his head thrown back as your hand wrapped around him.

------

Carefully you removed your hand as to not overstimulate him. The intense orgasm sent the hybrid into a foggy daze. His muscles relaxing almost going limp.

"No, no, cmon big guy we need to get you cleaned up and out of this,"

Mentally this was being jotted down as a favor to ask you more of. Foolish was sure he'd be stressed again soon enough.

[noblebs]

Orion's origin story is my Sisyphean task: it has always been here and it will never be complete. but on impulse I opened it for the first time in months today, and I'm feeling very very low on writing confidence, so fuck it here's some of my favorite bits that might never again see the light of day

Blood drools off Orion's knuckles. She watches it patter onto the pale, glaze-eyed face of its source. Her grip on the straight razor loosens, tension easing out of her shoulders. Funny how much smaller and sadder Patrick looks with his throat torn open, but Orion no longer wants to gloat. This was simply an inevitability, after all; nothing either of them had done could have stopped it. Maybe Bridget could have. But maybe this was what she’d been waiting for all along—for Orion to prove the boundaries he would cross in service of discovering new depths to the meaning of the word devotion.

She’d always been so adept at reminding Orion that she was married to someone else then changing the subject to soothe the blow—delivering a swift bruise so she can kiss it better. She didn’t mean to, of course, Orion is certain of that. But even during the first blissful year of their affair when Patrick was drafted overseas, his presence haunted every corner of her life, impossible to ignore. If only Orion had seen this obvious solution earlier on.

Grief and awe and terror seize her mind. Is humanity always such an intense experience, or is this just a glimpse into the final moments of Patrick's selfhood, like the aftertaste of a fine wine on Orion's tongue? A heady rush of endorphins draws out a hysterical giggle. The ache of hunger is new, but not quite unfamiliar. He's felt this clawing emptiness beneath his breastbone every time he had to endure bearing witness to Patrick and Bridget together.

They fit so neatly and wholly into each other's lives: Patrick-and-Bridget as a single, complete entity. Why can't her name have been the one forever appended with "and" to another's? Why can't she have been subsumed into creating such a jointed being? She would gladly give up individuality for it. His desire is a cavernous wound that threatens to collapse his body in on itself; a hungry beast's panting maw, a dug-out grave awaiting its casket.

Skylight you can Transform and Improve virtually any Space with Daylight

"Welcome to a world where natural light reigns supreme and transforms your living spaces into havens of warmth and comfort. Introducing the magical skylight – a simple yet powerful addition that can revolutionize any room, from the darkest basement to the smallest bathroom. Say goodbye to dull, dreary interiors and hello to enchanting rays of sunshine that invigorate both mind and body. Join us on an exciting journey as we explore how skylights can brighten up your life in ways you never thought possible!"

What is skylight?

One of the best ways to improve any space is by adding skylights. Skylights are a great way to let in natural light and make a room feel more open and airy. They can also help reduce energy costs by reducing the need for artificial lighting. In addition, skylights can help improve indoor air quality by providing ventilation and helping to control humidity levels.

How does skylight work?

In order to let in natural light, a skylight is placed in an existing roof or ceiling. Skylights work by admitting sunlight through a glass or plastic lens set into the roof. The light is then reflected off mirrors and diffuse panels onto the ceiling and walls of the interior space below.

The benefits of skylight

There are many benefits of skylight, including the following: -Skylights can help improve the quality of light in a space, making it brighter and more inviting. -They can also help reduce energy costs by allowing natural light to enter a space during the day and reducing the need for artificial lighting. -In addition, skylights can help improve ventilation in a space by providing fresh air and helping to circulate stale air. -Finally, skylights can simply make a space feel more open and spacious – something that is especially beneficial in small rooms or confined spaces.

How to choose the right skylight for your home

There are many factors to consider when choosing the right skylight for your home. The first is the size and shape of the window. Skylights come in a variety of shapes and sizes, so it's important to choose one that will fit the space you have available. The second factor to consider is the type of glass. There are two main types of glass used in skylights, tempered and laminated. Tempered glass is stronger and less likely to break, but it is also more expensive. Laminated glass is cheaper, but it is not as strong and may break if not installed properly. The third factor to consider is the angle of the window. Skylights can be installed at different angles, depending on how much sunlight you want to let in. The fourth factor to consider is ventilation. Some skylights come with vents that can be opened to let in fresh air or closed to keep out drafts. Others do not have vents at all. The fifth factor to consider is energy efficiency. Many skylights are now made with energy-efficient glass that helps keep your home cooler in summer and warmer in winter.

Skylight installation tips

If you’re considering adding a skylight to your home, there are a few things to keep in mind during the installation process. First, skylights should be installed on a roof that’s pitched at least 30 degrees. This will ensure that water will properly drain from the skylight. Second, it’s important to choose a quality skylight. Look for skylights with double or triple glazing and an energy-efficient seal. This will help reduce heat loss in your home and keep your utility bills low. Third, when installing the skylight, make sure the flashing is properly installed around the perimeter of the window. This will prevent water leaks. And finally, be sure to caulk around the edges of the skylight after it’s been installed to further prevent any leaks. https://therooftechnician.ca/our-services/skylights/

Conclusion

Skylights are an excellent way to bring beautiful natural light into any room. Not only do they add a sense of beauty and style, but they also save you energy and money in the long run. With so many different styles, shapes and sizes available, you can easily find one that suits your tastes while still providing enough brightness to light up your space. With skylight installation services readily available from professionals across the country, transforming a dark area with daylight is easier than ever!

How Replacing Windows in Wedowee, AL Can Lower Your Energy Bills

As a homeowner in Wedowee, AL, one of the most effective ways to reduce your energy bills is by upgrading your windows. While many homeowners focus on larger home improvement projects, replacing outdated or inefficient windows can provide substantial long-term savings. At Vinyl Window Solutions, we specialize in providing high-quality, energy-efficient window replacement services that can help lower your energy costs and make your home more comfortable year-round.

In this article, we will explore how replacing your windows in Wedowee, AL, can reduce your energy bills, improve comfort, and provide lasting benefits for your home.

1. Understanding the Role of Windows in Energy Efficiency

Windows are one of the most significant contributors to a home’s overall energy efficiency. Older or poorly installed windows can lead to significant heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer. This means your heating and cooling systems must work harder to maintain a comfortable temperature, driving up your energy bills.

Modern energy-efficient windows are designed to address these issues by offering superior insulation. These windows create a barrier that helps keep the indoor temperature stable, reducing the workload on your HVAC system. By replacing your outdated windows with energy-efficient options, you’ll be able to prevent drafts and minimize the transfer of heat between your indoor and outdoor environments.

2. Energy-Efficient Window Features That Lower Bills

When you choose window replacement Wedowee, AL, you’ll find that modern options come with several features designed to improve energy efficiency:

Double or Triple Glazing

Most older windows have single panes of glass, which offer minimal insulation. Modern windows, especially those available at Vinyl Window Solutions, typically feature double or triple glazing, which consists of multiple layers of glass with air or gas-filled spaces between them. These layers create a highly effective thermal barrier that helps reduce the amount of heat lost or gained through the window.

For example, double-pane windows feature two layers of glass, while triple-pane windows have three, each layer further enhancing the insulation. The additional layers of glass and air spaces significantly reduce heat transfer, keeping your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, which ultimately reduces your reliance on your HVAC system.

Low-E Glass Coatings

Low-emissivity (Low-E) glass coatings are another key feature that helps windows improve energy efficiency. These coatings reflect heat while allowing natural light to pass through, helping to regulate the internal temperature of your home. During summer months, Low-E glass reflects the sun’s heat, keeping your home cooler. In winter, it helps to keep the warmth inside, preventing it from escaping through the windows.

Low-E coatings not only help with temperature control but also reduce the amount of UV radiation entering your home. This can prevent furniture, carpets, and curtains from fading due to sun exposure, extending the life of your interior furnishings.

Gas Fills (Argon or Krypton)

To further improve insulation, modern windows are often filled with gases such as argon or krypton between the glass panes. These gases are denser than air, making them excellent insulators. The use of gas fills in combination with double or triple glazing results in windows that provide superior thermal insulation, reducing the amount of heat that escapes during colder months and limiting heat gain during the hotter months.

Thermal Break Frames

In addition to the glass, the frames of the windows also play a significant role in their energy efficiency. Older windows often have metal frames that can conduct heat, allowing it to escape or enter the home. Modern windows, particularly those made by Vinyl Window Solutions, feature thermal break frames that are specifically designed to prevent heat transfer. These frames are typically made of materials like vinyl or fiberglass, which provide excellent insulation properties compared to older materials like aluminum.

3. How Window Replacement Reduces Your HVAC Usage

By replacing your old windows with energy-efficient options, your home will experience fewer temperature fluctuations. This means that your heating and cooling systems won’t have to work as hard to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature. In colder months, your furnace won’t have to run as frequently to compensate for heat loss, and in the summer, your air conditioner won’t be constantly working to cool your home.

As a result, you’ll notice a reduction in the frequency and duration of your HVAC usage, leading to lower energy consumption and reduced monthly utility bills. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, homeowners can save up to 25% of their heating and cooling costs by replacing old, inefficient windows with energy-efficient ones. The more windows you replace, the greater your energy savings will be.

4. Why Wedowee, AL Homeowners Benefit from Window Replacement

Wedowee, AL, experiences a mix of hot, humid summers and cool winters, making it a prime location for energy-efficient window replacement. Here’s how replacing windows can be particularly beneficial in Wedowee:

Hot Summers

During the hot summer months, air conditioning is essential to maintaining comfort in your home. However, if your windows are old and inefficient, much of the cool air from your air conditioner may be escaping through the glass. By installing energy-efficient windows, you can minimize heat transfer and reduce the workload on your AC, leading to lower energy bills and a more comfortable home.

Cold Winters

In the winter, Wedowee temperatures can dip below freezing, and heating your home becomes essential. Inefficient windows allow heat to escape, which forces your furnace to work harder to keep the interior of your home warm. Energy-efficient windows with double or triple glazing, Low-E coatings, and gas fills help to keep the warmth inside your home, preventing drafts and lowering your heating costs.

Humidity and Moisture

Wedowee’s humid climate can also impact window performance. Condensation can form on older windows, leading to moisture problems, mold growth, and increased energy loss. New windows, especially those made with insulated frames and advanced glazing, prevent condensation from forming, creating a more comfortable and healthier indoor environment while also improving energy efficiency.

5. The Long-Term Savings of Replacing Windows

The upfront cost of window replacement Wedowee, AL may seem substantial, but the long-term savings are undeniable. By lowering your heating and cooling costs, you’ll quickly see a return on your investment. Over time, you can expect to see significant savings on your utility bills, making the cost of window replacement well worth it.

For example, a homeowner who replaces 10 old, single-pane windows with energy-efficient double-pane windows can save hundreds of dollars annually on heating and cooling costs. In some cases, the energy savings from replacing windows can pay for the cost of the windows within 5-10 years. Additionally, many homeowners find that the comfort and improved home value make the investment even more worthwhile.

6. Tax Incentives and Rebates for Energy-Efficient Windows

Another great incentive for homeowners in Wedowee, AL, is the potential for tax credits and rebates when upgrading to energy-efficient windows. The federal government and various utility companies often offer incentives to encourage homeowners to invest in energy-efficient improvements.

In addition to saving money on your energy bills, you may also qualify for rebates or tax credits through the Energy Star program. These incentives can help offset the initial cost of window replacement, making it an even more attractive investment.

7. Choosing Vinyl Window Solutions for Your Energy-Efficient Upgrade

When it comes to window replacement, Vinyl Window Solutions is your trusted partner in Wedowee, AL. We offer a wide range of high-quality, energy-efficient windows that are designed to provide superior insulation, reduce your energy bills, and improve the overall comfort of your home.

Our team of experts will help you select the best windows for your home’s needs and install them with precision and care. We take pride in providing homeowners with windows that not only save money but also enhance the beauty and functionality of their homes.

Conclusion

Replacing your windows in Wedowee, AL, is one of the most effective ways to lower your energy bills and improve the comfort of your home. By upgrading to modern, energy-efficient windows from Vinyl Window Solutions, you can enjoy a more comfortable living environment, reduce your heating and cooling costs, and enhance the value of your home.

Sliding Glass Door Repair in Miami: Keep Your Doors Functioning Like New

Sliding glass doors are a wonderful addition to any home, allowing natural light to flood your living spaces and providing easy access to outdoor areas. However, like all home features, these doors can experience wear and tear over time. Whether it’s a problem with the door’s rollers, tracks, or glass, issues can arise that affect their functionality and security. In Miami, where the climate can cause additional stress on doors due to heat, humidity, and salt air, regular maintenance and timely repairs are essential to keeping your sliding glass doors working smoothly. Professional Sliding Glass Door Repair Miami services can ensure that your doors remain in top condition, offering both convenience and peace of mind.

One of the most common issues homeowners face with sliding glass doors is difficulty opening or closing them. If you find yourself struggling to move the door, it’s usually an indication of problems with the door’s rollers or tracks. The rollers, which are located at the bottom of the door, allow it to glide smoothly along the track. Over time, these rollers can become worn out or clogged with dirt, grime, and debris. When this happens, the door may become difficult to slide, or it may even become stuck. Repairing or replacing the rollers is a relatively simple fix, but it’s important to have it addressed quickly to prevent further damage to the tracks and the door itself.

In addition to roller problems, sliding glass doors can also become misaligned. This misalignment can occur for a number of reasons, such as wear on the track, loose screws, or shifting of the door frame. Misaligned doors may not close properly or may leave gaps that allow drafts, water, and dust to enter. A professional sliding glass door repair technician will be able to realign the door and ensure that it seals properly. This can improve the door’s energy efficiency, keep your home more comfortable, and prevent potential security issues caused by improperly sealed doors.

Another common issue with sliding glass doors is foggy or damaged glass. Over time, the seal between the two panes of glass in double-glazed doors can fail, allowing moisture to build up between the panes. This results in foggy, cloudy glass that not only detracts from the appearance of your door but can also reduce its energy efficiency. In Miami, where humidity levels are often high, this issue is particularly common. When this happens, the glass may need to be replaced entirely to restore the clarity and effectiveness of your sliding door. A professional repair technician can assess whether a simple resealing will suffice or if the glass needs to be replaced entirely.

Beyond functionality, the aesthetic appeal of your sliding glass door is another reason to consider repair services. Over time, exposure to the elements can cause the door’s frame to become worn or damaged. Whether it’s rust, fading, or cosmetic damage, a repair professional can help restore your door’s appearance. They may also apply protective coatings or sealants to the door’s frame to prevent further deterioration caused by the harsh Miami climate.

Security is another important consideration when it comes to sliding glass doors. A door that is difficult to close or doesn’t lock properly can be a security risk. Miami’s bustling urban environment, combined with its proximity to the water, can present particular challenges for homeowners who want to keep their property safe. If your sliding glass door has a broken lock or isn’t closing fully, it’s essential to have it repaired as soon as possible. A skilled repair technician can replace faulty locks, realign the door, and ensure that the door operates securely. This gives homeowners the peace of mind that their home is safe from potential break-ins or other security threats.

When considering Sliding Door Repair Miami, it’s essential to choose a company with experience and expertise. Attempting to repair the door yourself can lead to more harm than good, especially if you’re unfamiliar with the mechanics of sliding doors. A professional technician will be able to diagnose the issue quickly and apply the right solution, whether that involves repairing the rollers, replacing the glass, fixing the track, or addressing alignment problems.

One of the benefits of hiring professionals for sliding glass door repair is that they use high-quality parts and materials, ensuring that your door will function properly for years to come. Additionally, professional repair services can save you time and money in the long run. When sliding glass doors are repaired quickly and correctly, the need for future repairs is minimized, and the door’s lifespan is extended. This makes sliding glass door repair not only an investment in your home’s security and functionality but also in its value.

For homeowners in Miami, addressing sliding glass door issues promptly is crucial for both safety and comfort. Whether you need roller replacement, track realignment, glass replacement, or a general tune-up, professional repair services can help restore your door to its best condition. With the right care, your sliding glass door will continue to enhance the beauty, functionality, and security of your home for years to come. By trusting experienced technicians, you can ensure that your sliding glass doors operate smoothly and efficiently, making your home a more comfortable and secure place to live.

Revive Your Home's Comfort with Expert Window Frame Repairs

Draughty windows are more than just a nuisance – they disrupt the comfort of your home, cause heating bills to spike, and allow precious warmth to escape, especially in colder months. One effective solution to these issues is professional window frame repair. This process not only fixes the immediate problem of drafts but can also improve the overall energy efficiency of your home, reduce heating costs, and boost indoor comfort. Here, we’ll look at why window frame repair matters, when it’s needed, and the significant benefits it offers.

Window frames naturally endure wear and tear over time due to constant exposure to the elements. While small issues might initially go unnoticed, they often escalate into bigger, more costly repairs if left unattended. Window Frame Repairs addresses these issues and extends the life of your windows, allowing you to maintain functionality, appearance, and efficiency without the high expense of a full window replacement. Besides the practical benefits, repairing your window frames is an eco-friendly option. Rather than replacing otherwise functional windows, repairs can extend their lifespan, reducing waste. Additionally, improved insulation from a repair can lower energy consumption, benefiting both the environment and your utility bills.

Several signs can indicate that your window frames need repair. Persistent drafts, for instance, suggest that the frame is not sealing properly, which allows cold air to enter and warm air to escape. This issue can stem from gaps, damaged seals, or warped frames, all of which compromise your home’s insulation. Similarly, when frames become warped or bent, typically due to moisture or temperature fluctuations, the window may not close tightly. This not only causes drafts but also makes it harder to maintain a consistent indoor temperature. Another common sign is condensation between double- or triple-glazed windows, which points to a failed seal. If left unaddressed, condensation can lead to mold growth, further damaging the frame and affecting air quality. Visible damage, such as cracks or decay, is another sign that it’s time for a repair. Any structural weakening should be fixed promptly to prevent larger issues.

A well-executed window frame repair brings numerous advantages. Improved energy efficiency is a key benefit, as sealing gaps and fixing damaged sections reduce heat loss, lowering energy bills and reducing environmental impact. Enhanced comfort is another positive outcome; with no cold air sneaking in, your living space remains cozy and warm even during the coldest months. Repairing window frames can also improve security. Damaged frames can weaken the structural integrity of windows, making them more susceptible to forced entry. By fixing these issues, you create a stronger barrier and add peace of mind. The aesthetic appeal of your home can also benefit from window frame repair. Cracked or deteriorating frames impact the look of your windows and, ultimately, the entire home. Repairing or refinishing these frames refreshes their appearance and adds to your home’s curb appeal. Additionally, a repair can extend the life of your windows, saving you from costly replacements, especially if you have custom or vintage frames you’d like to preserve.

While some small repairs might be manageable as a DIY project, most uPVC Window Repair are best handled by professionals. Experts have the tools and knowledge to tackle a variety of issues, from realigning warped frames to restoring damaged wood, ensuring quality results that will last. Attempting DIY repairs can lead to incomplete fixes or even make the problem worse, resulting in more expense and hassle down the line. Professionals use high-quality materials and are experienced in addressing any underlying problems, offering preventative advice to help keep your windows in optimal condition.

When selecting a service provider for your window frame repair, consider their experience with window repairs specifically, as this ensures they understand the unique requirements of different frame materials and techniques. Looking into customer reviews can also provide valuable insights into the quality of service. Additionally, opt for a company that offers transparent pricing. Clear, upfront costs protect you from unexpected charges and allow you to budget accordingly.

Window frame repairs are a wise investment for any homeowner looking to restore comfort, improve energy efficiency, and enhance the security of their home. Don’t let a draughty window spoil the warmth of your living space. With the help of experienced repair professionals, you can enjoy a cozy, draft-free home year-round, knowing your windows are in the best possible condition.

The Benefits of Triple-Glazing for Velux Roof Windows

Triple-glazing offers significant advantages for Velux roof windows, enhancing energy efficiency, noise reduction, and security. For anyone with Velux windows, especially in colder climates, this upgrade can make a meaningful difference in home comfort.

Improved Energy Efficiency

Triple-glazing consists of three panes of glass with insulating gas layers in between, significantly enhancing thermal performance. This helps retain heat in winter and keeps interiors cooler in summer, ultimately reducing energy bills. By minimizing heat loss, triple-glazing ensures consistent indoor temperatures, contributing to a cozier and more energy-efficient home. If your Velux windows aren't performing optimally, Velux window repairs can restore their effectiveness.

Enhanced Noise Reduction

Triple-glazing provides superior soundproofing, particularly useful for homes located in high-traffic or urban areas.

When noise becomes an issue, timely Velux window repairs can also help maintain a quiet, peaceful home environment.

Increased Security and Durability

The extra layer of glass in triple-glazed windows offers enhanced security, making them harder to break and providing peace of mind for homeowners.

NOT A DISCO FIC AT ALL (cleaning out the drafts 2)

7 months ago before I got into DE at all, I started writing a marvel fic and didn't finish that either.

Stucky, 5k words, pre-serum Steve, Modern AU

After spending hours applying to even the most demeaning, soul-breaking, bad-paying jobs he could find, Steve sits there refreshing his email. Nothing. Hit refresh. Nothing. Worry about rent. Regret college major. Hit refresh. Nothing. 

A red (1) suddenly appeared. He made sure to not get his hopes up before clicking. 

But he’s only human. As he read the email his mind wandered, hovering over numerous possibilities. His pulse quickened in excitement. He looked over his closet of an apartment. Glazed over the water damage on the ceiling, the pipes that rattle if he uses water, the stove with one working burner. 

Fuck it, he thought. And accepted the offer. 

—------

“Welcome, Campers!” An unnaturally perky boy greeted them once they walked from the parking lot to the camp’s entrance. He was wearing cargo shorts, a yellow T-shirt brandishing the camp’s logo and name, and holding a clipboard like a professional. His sandy blonde hair was cut short. 

“We’re not the campers.” The girl standing next to Steve said, her voice dripping in malice. He glanced over and saw bright red hair and dark-as-sin eyeliner. When their eyes met she smirked and he looked back.

“I’m just practicing.” The perkiness dropped and now it was all business. “Now: I’m head counselor Coulson. We only have one week before the campers actually get here. As prospective counselors, you’re in charge of setting everything up. Line up and I’ll assign you your cabin and working area.”

Like ducklings, the adults lined up single file and started moving toward the mother duck. Or, er, the one in charge. Steve felt a tap on his shoulder. 

“What are you in for?” The red-haired girl asked with a smirk. Was she always chewing gum or did she start after Coulson started talking? 

“The money.” He said, partially confused. 

She nodded. Shrugged. Of course, yeah, the money. 

“Are you here for another reason?”

“Court-ordered community service.” She said. Steve did not know her enough to tell if her smirk signified it was sarcasm or if it was true and she was going ‘what are ya gonna do?’. 

Maybe we should back up a bit. 

Camp Pinely has been a source of joy and summer fun for generations of children and that includes Steve way back in 1996. He went for several years and it was so much more than just a place where he was childish and free, it was the first time he felt like he wasn’t being held back by his health and body. It was a place that, even a decade later, he always thought back to. And in his worst moments, he fantasized about reliving those moments, yearning for the easy childhood and sick of the tedious adult life.

The email that was sent to him was clearly not official. It was professionally written, but unlike a lot of companies who are reaching out for employment, it was obvious that this wasn’t written by some bot or a copy-and-pasted format. It was sent by someone whose name he didn’t recognize, a Nick F., but they recalled some very specific moments of Steve attending the camp. Said he heard it from the previous camp director, Erskine. Steve remembers him - a gentle man with a German accent that only got stern when a big prank went very wrong, only then did he raise his voice. Not even out of anger but strictly out of worry. A practical and easy-going guy. Sucks that he isn’t around anymore.

The email went on to say that with the change of overhead, as the new camp director, he specifically wants a batch of counselors that already have an attachment of the camp. Said something about there being a special factor in a counselor who was previously a camper.

He also said something about there being a weekly stipend, a place to live for the summer, free food, and if it goes well a repeat job for next summer.

When Steve got close to Coulson it felt like he was struck by a bolt of lightning. “Oh, hey! Phil, right?” 

“That’s my name, don’t wear it out.” He said. It was clipped, business-like, but not necessarily cold or closed off. “Rogers. . . you’re in Staff Cabin 2, and you’re in charge of the arts and crafts station.” He handed Steve a camp T-shirt in X-Small, a map of the campsite, and a first-aid kit. 

“Weren’t you a camper here in the 90s?” He knew he was holding up the line now so he tried to make it quick. “I’m pretty sure we 

Phil looked up from the clipboard and a spark of recognition flares in his eyes. “Oh yeah, Rogers!” He looks like he has something to say but then he looks behind him and he must see the scary redhead smirking again and he looks back. “We’ll catch up later, alright?”

Steve nods and starts walking to Staff Cabin 2. He wasn’t the first one to get checked in but apparently, he was the first one to get assigned to this cabin since no one else was there. It was remarkably a lot like the cabins that he stayed in as a kid, except they seem to have decided that counselors are too old for bunk beds. As soon as you walk in there’s the living/sleeping space with several cots pushed against the walls. On the left wall is the gigantic walk-in closet that they are expected to share (no hangers provided, though). Inside is a floor-length mirror. If you keep walking straight as you enter the cabin you’ll find yourself in the attached bathrooms. Two toilets, two sinks, and two showers closed off with curtains. There are six beds in here, but if he ends up rooming with a bunch of shower hogs he could sneak off to a different staff cabin, probably. 

Steve changes into the camp T-shirt. It is a very pale, sunflower yellow, with a forest of green pine trees in the center along with the camp name. It’s clearly a brand new shirt but the design would have you think it’s been through the wash several times. Designed imperfections. It was the perfect size for him, still a little roomy, even. When he examined his pale complexion in the mirror he was comforted by the knowledge that he has the opportunity this summer to gain a natural tan. Not look so. . . ghostly. 

“Everyone hold on to your undies I am - “ A voice blasted from the living area of the cabin. “The first one here. Awesome.” 

Steve popped out from the closet. “Sorry to bust your bubble.” 

The guy that just arrived looked to be younger than Steve - maybe 20, 21 or so. He had a naturally stern face that was canceled out by his jovial, energetic body and facial language. He was only slightly taller than Steve, who stood at 5’5”. 

“Another short king!” He exclaimed and bounded his way towards Steve. “Changing in the closet when you’re already alone? Jeez, I thought I had body issues. I’m Tony.”

Steve gets the impression that this guy often comes off as prickly and inappropriate when he introduces himself, but there is a natural openness that leaves Steve feeling that he’s just trying his best. “Steve.” He held out his hand to greet him, mostly out of habit. His mom may have raised him a bit old-fashioned, but it’s never bad to be polite.

“Nice to meet ya, Steve.” Tony looked at his outstretched hand like it confused him, and Steve almost pulled it back but Tony grabbed it. Except not in the traditional way, he pulled it closer to his chest and did a figuration that was attempting to be cool, hip, and trendy. Steve tried his best to follow. After that, Tony tossed his duffel bag on one of the beds with too much force before plopping his entire body on that bed with it, causing the metal bars to squeak and briefly lift off the ground. “I got a question for you, Steve. Are you perhaps part vampire? Or an avid fan of the Twilight series? I’m not judging but I want to know if you’re going to try and get some of this sweet, sweet blood while I’m dreaming of honeybunnies.” 

“Honeybunnies?” Steve raises his eyebrows.

“You know, girls.” He stretches out on the twin bed, getting. You would think by looking at him that it was 10 at night, not right before lunch. “I’m not secretly some internet furry. Not that kind of degenerate. Unless you are, then it's not degenerate at all.”

Steve nodded, even though nothing was made any clearer. In fact he was left even more confused. “I think bunking with you will be very interesting.”

It wasn’t long before more boys filed into the cabin and started picking their cots. Steve made sure to pick one near Tony, partly because he thought it would be more interesting and partly because he was sure that Tony could accidentally and seriously upset someone else, and this way it will preemptively smooth over some bumps.

He quickly figures out that this cabin is for the second half of the alphabet - Tony’s last name turns out to be Stark. And all boys, so it must be split so there’s two staff cabins for the boys and two for the girls. 

As more and more come in to claim cots, talk to each other, start changing out there in the open, Steve starts to feel like he’s drowning in the testosterone. Maybe coming here was a mistake. He didn’t consider at all that he will have to be closeted the entire summer, surrounded by several athletic men around his age. Doing physical activities, sleeping in tight quarters, and there’s a lake so he has to think of many excuses to not be caught there swimming. He tries to relax - things are better than when he was a child - and he goes outside for a fresh breath of air. 

He sits on the steps and looks out to the cabin directly ahead, labeled Staff Cabin One. Immediately his plan to catch his breath fails because in the doorway stood someone he hadn’t seen in a decade. Since the last year he ever attended the camp.

To make it worse, he grew up so well. He’s practically an adonis now, except with brown hair. But he is lean, well-fit, with his hair in a stylish quiff that fell just above his eyes. From his memory Steve recalled the color perfectly - chocolate brown, with specks even darker sprinkled throughout. He was wearing jeans slightly too tight so it showed off his figure, with his shirt tucked in to further enhance the shape of his waist.

Steve didn’t mean to openly ogle him for so long. Eventually, Bucky turned to catch his eye. He froze, immediately recognizing Steve. He was mid-laugh, but now his face was dropped and he looked like he had seen a ghost.

Well, shit. He has been caught. If he gets up and walks somewhere, or goes back inside, it would be obvious that he was staring obsessively. Panicking, he let his eyes slide to the other people around. Staying casual. 

Eventually, Bucky turns back around and Steve takes this as his opportunity to go to the mess hall. 

—------

It’s summer, 1998. Steve is fifteen years old. This is his third year in a row attending Camp Pinely. He didn’t know it at the time, but it was his final year. 

There was one week left of the summer. He had had a blast - he went canoeing, beat his record of eating 7 smores before getting sick, and made a ton of new friends. One friend in particular he was very happy to have made. 

One friend in particular he was alone with inside the boathouse, near the lake shore. Children were not supposed to be in there, only adults, because there were tools and fishnets and it had a weird smell. But it was the only place for privacy and what they were doing needed to be done in private. 

They were kissing. Steve’s first-ever kiss, and probably Bucky’s too but he never got a confirmation on it. He had had a crush on him all summer, and now they were there! Steve hadn’t even set this up - as if he would have had the guts to - Bucky slipped him a note during lunch to meet him inside. It all felt so romantic. 

There was laughter outside. Steve didn’t pay it any mind because there were kids playing in the lake, with the watch of a few counselors to make sure they didn’t drown. He should have paid it some mind. The laughter got steadily closer to the shack until suddenly they were bathed in sunlight. 

Before Steve could register they had been walked in on, Bucky shoved him as forcibly as he could. There was a split second where their eyes met and Bucky looked terrified before he turned to what turned out to be his friends and started making exaggerated gagging sounds. “He tricked me! Before I realized what was happening he closed the door and pounced on me!” Then he repeated a word that Steve would rather not recall. 

They were all laughing at him. He tried to run free but they were closing him off, surrounding him. Treating him like a disgusting animal that had to be trained to know better. Before it got too bad - as in, violent and genuinely unsafe which sadly happens a lot of the time - one of the adult counselors finally noticed and yelled to break it up. Steve used that opportunity to break free and run away. 

He didn’t have a planned destination, but he was crying. And running. And with his poor health and terrible lungs, he quickly had trouble breathing. He made it to the nurse’s station in time and Nurse Helen was there to help him.

This is also one of the few places on the campsite that had a phone they could use to call home. Sarah Rogers got a particularly distressing call from her weeping, hysterical son and raced there. Within two hours Steve was home early, planning to never return. 

How did he forget? He must have blocked it off with true efficiency. It was hidden so well in the library of his mind that it didn’t even register as there.

What are the chances that he could avoid Bucky for the entire summer? It’s not like they’re campers anymore, they’re here to work. He remembers the arts and crafts section as only needing one, maybe two counselors at the most. If he put his head down and did his job then maybe he could put the past behind him.

“What’s going on in that head of yours?” a scratchy voice broke him out of his thoughts. Only now did he fully realize that he was sitting at a table in the mess hall, stabbing some tater tot casserole in front of him. He must have been on autopilot for the last ten minutes.

In front of him is the intimidating red-headed girl looking at him with a quirked eyebrow. And her smirk.

“Sorry,” who knows how long she was sitting there with a dinner partner not even registering he was on the same planet. 

She shrugged like it made no difference to her that he wasn’t talking. Steve finally took a bite out of his lunch. Any sort of crunch it was supposed to have has been effectively destroyed by Steve’s mashing of it with a fork, but it is still cheesy and potato-y so it’s all good. 

“What’s your name, by the way?” Steve asked, diverting away from her question. 

“Natasha.”

“Nice to meet you, Natasha.” He doesn’t try to shake hands. “I’m Steve.”

They start talking. She doesn’t get any less intimidating but Steve does start to get comfortable around her, weirdly enough. They eventually start to talk about their assigned workstations. Steve learned that Natasha is his partner for the arts and crafts station.  

“Do you have a background in the arts?” He was directly told in the email that he was offered this position due to his degree in graphic design. 

“In a way.” She says. He has learned that Natasha is the type of person who eats her food completely in segments. Main portion first, vegetables next, then fruit, then her sweet treat at the end. Taking small sips throughout so that she finishes it with her last bite. “I got caught tagging in a public place, this is my court-ordered community service.”

Steve nods. “Alright.”

At the end of the meal he finally got to put a face and voice to Nick F., since he took the front of the room and started an announcement. He was an older man, the only actual grown adult in a sea of young adults trying to find their place in society, completely bald and an aura of Military Bred Sterness. 

“Thank you all for coming.” His voice is booming and deep. He did not have to do a fake cough or ask for anyone’s attention. As soon as he starts talking everyone quiets down and turns their heads. “I am Nick Fury, you may recognize me as the one who offered you the job not that long ago. This summer is a unique opportunity for us all, as it is my first year as the camp administrator and you alls first year as counselors. If you need anything, please report to my right-hand man Phil Coulson.” The professional man from earlier raised his hand and waved at everyone, smiling. “He will let me know if I need to be involved. There is a large amount of trust you all have been gifted. Do not let me down.” The vibe of the entire mess hall turned anxiously icy. Nick left without another word. Slowly but surely the chatter started to come back. 

“Do you know that guy?” Natasha asked him.

“As well as anyone here does,” Steve said. He was confused about how he gave off the impression that he was particularly close to Fury.

“No, that guy.” Natasha pointed behind Steve’s left shoulder. He turned and saw that Bucky was staring holes into the back of his head with huge, sad puppy dog eyes. A spark of anger flared up inside him. Where does he get off to stare at him so sad? When he was directly the cause of one of the worst moments of Steve’s life? Second only to watching his mother wither away to illness as a stupid nineteen-year-old studying art and not something that could have helped him, like medicine.

He holds it in, however. Steve doesn’t so much as roll his eyes before turning back to Natasha. “I don’t think I do.” he was never a good liar and that is a statement he found easier to stand behind. 

“He seems to know you.” Thankfully she saw something she found more interesting than picking at Steve’s drama so abruptly got up and left to talk to someone else. Sitting there alone felt like he was a sitting duck, or that there was something else he should be doing, so he tossed out his plate and left the mess hall as well. 

Something he doesn’t get to know is that immediately after Natasha left, Bucky excused himself from his own table and started making his way over to him. If Steve had waited a few seconds more he would have been caught. But no, Steve had walked out of the mess hall leaving Bucky standing there, silently, slowly lowering his arm that he raised to tap Steve on the shoulder.

He might have enjoyed the feeling of schadenfreude. If he caught it. 

Instead, Steve started walking around, slowly. Looking at everyone else milling around. People watch. Enjoy the environment. 

The thing he noticed the most was just how empty this gigantic campsite felt with only a handful of the counselors. Maybe as they get to work it’ll feel more active, and definitely once the campers get here. But it’s a lot of blank space right now. He made his way back to his cabin. 

On the steps of the cabin, sitting on the little porch area they were given, was Tony and another guy playing with a chemistry set. Where it came from, he couldn’t tell. But he could see a ton of white smoke from several yards away. Steve jogged to them.

“Are you making bombs?!” He gasped at them. Even though it was only a few yards he was already out of breath. He prays that a week is enough time to work up to anything better than appearing to be knocking on death’s door. 

“Eddy!” Tony legitimately brightened up to see him. 

“Who?!”

“You! Because you’re pale.” As if that explained anything. The other boy added something to the vial producing all the smoke and it turned from white to blue. Tony continued yapping. “Vampires are pale, and you’re a huge fan of Twilight it’s like the only thing I know about you. Someone in that movie is named Edward. Eddy is short for Edward, boom. That’s how a nickname is born.” 

A lot was happening for Steve in this moment.

“Who are you?” Steve turns to the new guy.

“Bruce Banner.” In one hand he adjusts his glasses, the other he holds out to greet Steve. Finally, some good manners in this place. He takes is gladly. 

“Nice to meet you. I’ve never actually seen Twilight.” He tells Bruce, who nods and shrugs. “What are you guys doing?”

Tony immediately launches into a monologue about science, chemical measurements, a bunch of words that Steve doesn’t process at all. The information he does gather: Bruce brought the chemistry set just because he’s that kind of guy, they both suffer a severe allergy to the outdoors that presents in a severe distaste of the smell (Steve may prefer the indoors slightly more than the average person but he doesn’t smell anything else but pine and dirt), and they were making something preferable to their sensitive proclivities. 

By now they were gathering a crowd. Tony and Bruce looked at each other, smiled wickedly, and dropped the last component into their mixture and ran like Hell. Tony grabbed Steve’s arm to drag him to a safer distance right before their mixture exploded into a mini mushroom cloud and the whole area for miles smelled of vanilla and marshmallow fluff.

“I never should have doubted you.” Steve said to Tony, who grinned in pride. The two of them get cheers, whoops, and celebratory pats on the back from the people nearest to them. 

“It’ll only last a couple of hours.” Bruce assures everyone. 

The good vibes stay consistent until that night, the first campfire of the summer. It’s good for Steve to know that even the counselors take part in this tradition: having a campfire after the sun goes down, everyone having fire cooked food like hot dogs and smores. You’ll eat more smores at Camp Pinely than you’ll ever have in the rest of your life. 

It’s great bonding. An opportunity to check-in. Memories are embedded in the traditions, traditions in the memories. 

Steve sits on the same log as Tony and Bruce and somehow he finds himself in the middle. Tony talked enough that Steve rarely had to say anything, and Bruce almost never. Thankfully he’s a funny little guy, Steve found himself laughing quite often. On the log across from them, separated by the fire, sits Natasha, Phil, and another guy that Steve hasn’t met yet. He can assume that his last name appears earlier in the alphabet since he hadn’t seen him move into his cabin earlier. 

He’s having a good time so it takes a while for him to notice Bucky is around him again. In fact, he doesn’t even notice until Bruce gets up to go to the bathroom and within seconds Bucky slides into his seat.

“That seat’s taken, buddy.” Tony said, thankfully, because Steve was flabbergasted into silence at the action. At the pure audacity of this guy. 

“I’ll just be here for a minute.” Bucky said and shot Tony a charismatic, smoozing smile. A smile that Steve can bet gets him anything that he wants. Bucky turns back to Steve and drops the smile, instantly looking uncertain and anxious. 

“Hey, I just - I’m James. I don’t know if you remember me.” He’s wiping his palms on his jeans.

‘Oh my god’ Steve thought. ‘He’s actually introducing himself to me?’ Maybe he was too good of an actor earlier, those times he didn’t meet his eyes must have really fooled him. Certainly, it would be easier for him if Steve admits he does remember, whatever plans Bucky has. He could make him squirm and say no, could see if doesn’t admit his past and sees it as wiping his hands free of it. 

That’s not something his mom would want him to do.   

“You go by ‘James’ now?” Steve questioned. He remembers little Bucky hating that name, wouldn’t even answer if you addressed him by it. If Steve didn’t recognize him by his looks then he absolutely wouldn’t have remembered him as ‘James’.

For a second he brightened up. Overjoyed that Steve remembered him. But then his face falters, he turns away, coughs. Being remembered for what he did is not a good thing.

“Could we talk? In private?” 

There’s a lot of shit that Steve doesn’t want to do and that includes being alone with Bucky Barnes again. After what happened last time. It must have been written clearly on his face because Bucky tilts his head. “Please?” he is practically - no, Literally, begging.

By now Bruce has come back and he is standing there, silently. Wanting his seat back but not wanting to ask for it. Steve would like as few people as possible to be reminded of what happened back in ‘98.

“Fine.” Bucky sighs in relief and they both get up. Bruce gets his seat back. 

Steve lets Bucky lead the way. Turns out to be back at the staff cabins. Bucky opens the door to walk in there but Steve planted his feet on the porch. “Here’s fine.” 

Bucky relented and closed the door. “There’s no easy way to say this, so I’m not going to beat around the bush.” He’s wiping his hands on his jeans again. Were his hands always sopping wet or is he just nervous to the point of a literal panic attack right now?

Steve crosses his arms and doesn’t say anything. He gestures, get on with it. 

“I think about that summer. A lot.” Bucky ran his hand through his hair. “And not just - not just what I did wrong. But all of it. It was a great summer. Before I fucked it up at the end. Not that hearing that is any help to you.” 

“What happened to not beating around the bush?”

“You’re right. Fuck. I’m not good at this.” He sighed. “I’m sorry. I’m really, really fucking sorry.”

Steve nodded. “Is that it?” He made a move to leave. Bucky stepped in front of him, making a move to stop him, but not blocking off the exit. Steve could keep walking but he stops. He should hear him out, no matter how much he doesn’t want to. 

“I know it is too little too late. I know that I did something truly shitty. It’s the worst thing I’ve ever done in my life. I’m fucking haunted by it, believe it or not.” 

“Why not say something sooner?” Steve betrays himself to ask. He doesn’t even care that much about the answer but it was the first thing that came to his mind. And it exited his mouth almost immediately. 

“I was scared. I couldn’t find you. I wanted to do it in person. I didn’t know how to say it. Take your pick.” He looked so sincerely and earnestly sad that, despite his best efforts, Steve melted a little bit. “The only reason I accepted the position here is on the off chance that you also got an offer. I swear to God.” 

In the background, he saw the campfire being extinguished and everyone starting to stagger their way to bed. “I have to go.” 

It was all he could manage to say.

Bucky didn’t try to stop him this time. Steve went to his cabin and straight to bed. He wished he could say he went to sleep, but his mind was racing with Recently Overturned Trauma and he was lucky if he got multiple hours of rest at all.

The Ultimate Guide to Double Glazing Replacement in Muswell Hill

Muswell Hill retains much of its historic charm with picturesque homes that are quintessentially community-minded. This largely dictates the finest requirements for any house owner to ensure the beauty of their property visually while enhancing energy efficiency. Replacement of old, inefficient windows with high-quality double glazing has emerged as one of the most effective options. Replacing those not-so-efficient old windows with high-quality double glazing will enable you to enhance comfort, add to security, and value to your home. Below, find everything you might want to know about double glazing replacement in Muswell Hill: from the very benefits and process to the frequently asked questions and pieces of advice from experts.

What is Double Glazing and Why Should You Consider Replacement?

Double glazing is the method of constructing a window using two panes of glass separated by a layer of inert gas or a vacuum. Such a construction improves insulation, diminishes the phenomenon of heat loss, and provides more security. During time, double-glazed windows lose their power due to wear. The following signs might point out that your double glazing needs replacement:

Condensation between panes

The opening/ closing of the window is not easy. There are considerable drafts or heat loss. Replacing old double glazing in Muswell Hill can vastly improve the efficiency and comfort of your home-most especially for properties that may be older and not equipped with today's insulation technology.

Benefits from Replaced Double Glazing

Improved Energy Efficiency Muswell Hill has cool winters, and energy costs just keep on going up and up. The modern double glazing can reduce heat loss by as much as 50% and will help lower your heating bills greatly. New double glazing is at the forefront of stringent energy-efficiency standards, ensuring that your home will remain wonderfully warm in the winter and delightfully cool in the summer. Improved Sound Insulation As a busy neighborhood, Muswell Hill often experiences a fair amount of noise from traffic and city sounds. Replacement double glazing offers improved sound reduction properties, thus enabling a quieter, more serene environment indoors. This comes in really handy if your house fronts major roads or avenues. Improved Security Older windows are a security hazard due to the obsolete locking mechanisms that are usually easier to tamper with. The latest window models using double glazing normally come fitted with improved security features like multi-point locks and strengthened frames for extra reassurance as far as you and your family are concerned. Higher Resale Value Replacing double glazing is one of the high value home improvements, especially if you reside in one of the high-demand areas such as Muswell Hill. High-quality double glazing not only offers an attractive view outside your building but will also increase the resale value of your property as potential buyers start thinking about energy efficiency and security, too, upon making a decision.

Choosing the Right Style of Double Glazing for Your Muswell Hill Property

Common Window Problems and Their Solutions
