#I could talk a lot about all of this but it's late over here! But you'll surely hear plenty more about it sooner or later ;y

Grandma Lillian showing up was honestly the most pleasant surprise â Sebastian hadnât expected her at all. She herself had to deal with rough health problems lately, she was over 80 years old and itâs also been the reason they didnât celebrate Christmas at her place last time. Her being here cheered Sebastian up a lot. They didnât see each other often as it was.
They had a lot of catching up to do, to say the least. She got herself a chair and sat right next to Sebastianâs bed and they justâŚtalked. A lot. About everything that happened. Grandma Lillian had been quite shocked about the news to say the least â she said herself, being sick by 80 was not unusual. 30 however? That was simply terrible! Sebastian still had his whole life ahead of himself â after that terrible drugâscare no less.
Well, they both could agree to that anyway â Sebastian couldnât deny that it was something he never ever wanted to experience and yet he was here. He told his grandma everything â the appointments, the diagnosis, the whole process of arranging more tests, that William managed it all for him. How they even spotted the mole in the first place. She knew about Sebastianâs ânewâ boyfriend, however never managed to meet him before â she often heard things about him at least. Cynthia loved him a lot â and that was saying something!
âAnd William said I should have it looked at because it looked so strange. Nothing heâd ever seen before on me, at least. And it was for the better, he probably even saved my life that wayâŚâ, he sighed.
âWell, good thing you have such an attentive young man, dear. You men usually overlook these things, are you getting checked regularly? Well from now on I hope you do thatâ, she said as she held Sebastianâs hand. They spoke about lots of other things too though. It seemed William was a little late today, it was half past 4pm when the door suddenly opened.
They were in the middle of the conversation when William barged into the room, apologizing for being late. He was cute, really, kind of in a rush â Sebastian smiled at him and motioned to him to just come closer after he came to a halt, once he noticed the other visitor in the room with them. âOh love, there you areâŚI already started wondering when you might show upâ, he smiled and his grandma too looked up now, smiling as well. She figured out right away who that was â so she got to meet the new boyfriend after all.
âGrandma, thatâs William. William, thatâs my grandma Lillian. Momâs sideâ, Sebastian introduced them quickly. Lillian stood up for a moment, so they could actually shake hands properly: âItâs so lovely to finally meet you, William. I would have loved to in different circumstances, I have to admitâ.
For I have sinned...
The principal cleared his throat, eyes scanning the notes that he had wrote down before this meeting. It already lasted an hour, and the teachers gathered in the faculty room were becoming restless and bored. But indeed there were some things to discuss, with the concert that the senior class was supposed to perform at the end of the semester, and with recent staff changes.Â
William glanced down at his watch, sighing softly. His class was starting in 15 minutes, so at least, whether the meeting will be done soon or not, he will get to excuse himself. He looked out of the window, his mind wandering. Principalâs voice turned into white noise in the background. It was a pleasant day, late summer. But William was looking forward to a slightly cooler weather. Wearing all black could really be bothersome at times.Â
âAnd lastly, I am pleased to announce that we have finally found replacement for the violin teacher. Dear Mr Tanaka, may he rest in peace, was with us for so many years that Iâve been concerned we wonât be able to find someone as good as to fill this position.â the principal spoke. âBut Mr⌠Michaelis, was highly recommended to me, and he indeed has impressive references. He will be starting this week, so please welcome him warmly once he will arrive. Ah yes⌠about that. He will arrive today at noon, I need someone to pick him up from the train station and bring over for the tour around the school. Any volunteers?âÂ
William was barely listening, and definitely not paying much attention. He glanced at his watch again, and saw that it was time to leave, as his class was about to start. He raised his hand to excuse himself, and little did he know, he just volunteered.
âFather William! Excellent!â the principal exclaimed. âJust donât be late, the train arrives at noon.â
âTrainâŚ?â William questioned, raising his brow. He had a feeling he was missing somethingâŚ
***
Right after the meeting, William had to run for the class, so he had little time to clarify what exactly he had volunteered for. He was a piano teacher in this Music Academy, but also he served as a priest in local church. Well respected, and rather liked. So when he later found out it was about the new violin teacher, he didnât refuse. Who, other than himself, would be a better choice to introduce a newcome to their community?
So even though he raised his hand by accident, he accepted this fate.
After classes, at noon, William took a taxi and drove to the train station, to pick up their new teacher. Wearing black trousers, and a black shirt with a thin tie, was absolutely dreadful in this weather, so William quickly found shelter under the roof of the station platform, that provided some shade.
The train had just arrived. William had no idea how Mr Michaelis looked like, but he figured he will just look for someone carrying a violin case with them.Â
He was in for a bit surprise.

pairing . . . oscar piastri x racing!engineer!reader
summary . . . After a tough race, Oscar has nothing to look forward to more than spending time with (Y/n)
request . . . kind of?
word count . . . 1.1k
warnings . . . none!
alexavia yaps . . . i really hate this one for some reason like its not the best i could do but i wanted to write something so yeah!! the person who wanted this (im sorry i forgot your user), if you want another story i will totally write it!! tysm for asking <3
Oscar slumped into the chair in the back of the team garage, still in his racing suit, the helmet beside him on the floor. Todayâs race had been brutal, everything going wrong until he finally crossed the finish line in a place he didnât even want to remember. No matter how much he tried to forget it, the disappointment still clung to him.
As the crew packed up around him, you walked over, carrying a bottle of water and a quiet look of understanding. Youâd worked with Oscar long enough to know when he needed a moment to think and when he needed someone to remind him he wasnât alone. Today, he needed the latter.
âRough day,â you said softly, offering him the bottle. He accepted it with a quick nod, cracking it open but not taking a sip.
âUnderstatement of the year,â he muttered, letting out a short, frustrated sigh. âEverything went wrong, didnât it? Every call, every turn⌠feels like I let everyone down out there.â
You didnât rush to disagree or to tell him it was all fine because you knew Oscar didn't want you to. Instead, you waited a bit, giving him the space to breathe.
âYou know, racingâs a lot like life. Sometimes itâs out of our control, even when we do everything right. We all saw you fight today,â you said gently. âOne tough race doesnât define who you are as a driver.â
He glanced up, the frustration in his eyes softening as he met your steady gaze. âThanks,â he said, managing a faint smile. âNot sure what Iâd do without you, honestly.â
You laughed lightly, leaning against the wall beside him. âLucky for you, Iâm sticking around, win or lose.â
His smile widened a little, and after a few moments of quiet, he stood up, finally letting go of some of the weight heâd carried off the track. âHey,â he said, glancing at his watch, âI know itâs late, but do you want to grab some food? Just⌠need to be somewhere thatâs not here.â
The restaurant he picked was cozy, tucked away from the noise and chaos that followed you on racing weekends. He knew youâd love it, remembering how you mentioned your love for Italian food
When you walked in, his heart skipped a beat. You wore a smile that was both warm and teasing, the one that always seemed to make everything feel a little less overwhelming.
He stood, smiling sheepishly. âHey, you look⌠great,â he said, his voice a little unsteady. The nerves of the race had melted away, replaced by a different kind of nervousness that he couldnât ignore.
You grinned, taking a seat across from him. âThanks, Piastri. Itâs nice to see you in a non-race setting for once. And I have to say, you look pretty good.â
He laughed, glancing down at his simple outfit. âI tried, yâknow, for you.â
The waiter took your orders, and as the evening went on, you two spoke about anything and everything but racing. The conversation drifted easily from favorite movies to random childhood memories. You two talked about wild stories and embarassing moments, laughing at every single thing.
But Oscarâs mind kept wandering back to you. How youâd been there every step of his career, how youâd seen him at his worst and still chose to believe in him. At one point, as you were laughing at a joke heâd told, he couldnât help but stare a little, his heart pounding in a way that felt completely different from the adrenaline of racing.
The laughter quietened down, and a comfortable silence fell between you both. Oscar looked down at his hands, trying to think of what he wanted to say. âYou know,â he began, a little quieter now, âyou mean a lot to me. More than just⌠my engineer or friend.â
You looked up, your expression softening, and he felt his courage swell just a bit. âI think I realized that today, after everything went bad on the track. Just seeing you there, not judging me, not telling me what I shouldâve done differently, just⌠being there. It made all the difference.â
You reached across the table, placing your hand over his, giving it a gentle squeeze. âIâd be there no matter what, Oscar. Youâre a brilliant driver and a good person. Bad race or not, that doesnât change.â
His cheeks flushed, a warmth spreading through him. He turned his hand to hold yours, letting the silence speak for itself. And for a moment, all the disappointment and frustration faded, replaced by a quiet joy that he hadnât expected to feel tonight.
Later, you walked together under the night sky, the cool breeze a welcome contrast to the warm evening inside. He found himself wishing the walk could last forever, just the two of you, away from the chaos of everything.
Eventually, you both settled on a bench with a view of a beautiful fountain. The sound of the water filled the quiet spaces between you, and he reached over, slipping his hand into yours again, holding it with a confidence he hadnât felt earlier.
âThis feels perfect,â you murmured, leaning against his shoulder.
âYeah,â he said softly, pressing a gentle kiss to the top of your head. âI wish every night could be like this.â
You let out a soft laugh, resting against him. âItâd be easier if we werenât always at a race or in different cities every other week.â
âMaybe,â he admitted, looking out at the fountain. âBut I think⌠I think itâs worth it.â
You turned to him, your gaze meeting his with a warmth that made his heart race. He took a deep breath, the words heâd been holding back finally finding their way out.
âDo you⌠maybe want to meet my family? Make it official?â he asked, his voice a little uncertain but hopeful.
You raised your eyebrows, a smirk tugging at the corners of your mouth. âOscar, I think weâre already there. You didnât have to ask. And of course, I'd love to meet your family.â
He chuckled, feeling a weight lift as his heart swelled with happiness. âThen consider this official.â He leaned in, taking your lips in a kiss.
The kiss made butterflies fill your stomach, it was soft, but also made you crave more. It was something magical, like straight out of a movie. Oscar had his hands on your waist, and yours tangled in his hair. It somehow made it more intimate, more personal. You didn't want it to end.
When you finally pulled back, the smile on your face was everything Oscar ever wanted to see.
Hand in hand, you walked back to the car, and for the first time that night, Oscar felt a sense of peace, knowing that no matter what happened on the track, heâd always have you there, his biggest supporter, his steady presence.
And with you by his side, he knew he could face anything that came his way.

What's your reading on the Arcane situation, do you think Jayce and Viktor's relationship wil become less subtextual as it goes on? Or is that it with the affection comment?
My honest answer: we are getting Something. Will it be fully canonized? Will it be hinted at? Will it be painted as one-sided? I have no idea on the specifics but given the arcane content being promised lately (jayce-viktor legendaries, a song that seems to be about them, their nemesis quests talking about convincing the other to join their side, jayce straight up giving viktor his iconic cape and his own final outfit having 'V's' all over...)
Animators/Storyboarders and artists at Fortiche have expressed interest in jv multiple times before and Amanda confirmed in an interview that they have been given A LOT more freedom in the montages this season, whole blank spaces to fill. Last time that happened? they inserted the romantic subtext of jinx/ekko into their fight and thats what got Amanda to see them as a potential couple (this is said in Bridging The Rift.) its not hard to see how a similar thing may happen here. The fact that jayce is getting a legendary written by the same person who did hweijhin is interesting to me idk...... something in the subtext..........?
Given Riot's track record, i don't expect a happy ending. all their male/male pairings end in terrible tragedy or breakup or open ended "will they ever confess???" but its worth noting they started taking them out of the closet A LOT MORE WILLINGLY after arcane season 1 aired and they experienced the huge negative blowback of jayvik being seemingly set up to be canon only to be shot down again. We could get a tragic love confession dual death thing or jayce dropping the L word in an ambiguous platonic/romantic context before he or viktor blow up to smithereens, and then some gay ass voicelines in game.
A lot of the gay subtext we are getting this season is from the visual/animation side too. just worth keeping an eye on đ

get over it! - l.n - p.2
Warnings: Angst, swearing, mental breakdown, breaking glass.
Pairing: Lando Norris x fem!reader
A/N - sorry this took so long, I was doing all Landoâs birthday ones x
parts đ§Ą
Time Skip - Formula One Baku Grand Prix Pre-Race
Baku had always been a city of contrastsâhistorical yet modern, chaotic yet beautiful. And today, it felt like the perfect reflection of Lando's mood as he walked down the paddock, his eyes hidden behind his dark sunglasses, jaw clenched tight.
Since your little âincidentâ with Lando at Qualifying, youâd made sure to steer well out of his way. You would rather not be blamed for his driving by Zak or Andrea anyhow. It did slightly piss off the mechanics on Landoâs side of the garage, however.
Your energy was something that helped a lot of them to keep going, and now you were steering clear of Landoâs while side of the garage. You hadnât even noticed him sliding into Oscarâs garage, as you handed around drinks.
âY/N,â he said, tapping you on the shoulder, your shoulders immediately raising defensively, your head turning away from, signalling your dislike in speaking to him. âY/N," he pressed, this time with more urgency. "Can we talk?"
You shook your head, still not looking at him. "I donât think thereâs anything left to say,â you said simply, handing some of Oscarâs mechanics some drinks. "Youâre avoiding me," he said, his voice tinged with frustration. "You canât just walk away, not after what happened,â he said firmly.
âYes I can, besides, why do you even care? Itâs not like you to do so,â you said, placing your tray down, taking some new cups from the stack. âSome of my mechanics are pissed about you not being in the garage and stuff,â he mumbled, slightly annoyed.
âOh, and they made you drag your ass here to ask?â you asked, a scoff on your lips as Lando rolled his eyes. âSorry for asking you to do your own damn job,â he snapped, his voice filling with the frustration and bite from earlier.
âLet me do my fucking job, and stop talking to me, then,â you said, your voice with equally as much spite as you glared at him, his jaw set firm, eyes narrowed. You rolled your eyes, walking past him, your chin held high - so what if he was a driver? He didnât own you!
Youâd had many fights with Lando, countless, some of them about such minor things, you almost laughed when you looked back at them. Of course, there was a time, even after the Sochi incident, where maybe, just maybe, there was a chance he could have forgiven you.
But then again, it was Lando Norris. Heâd do anything just to fuck shit up.
Flashback - 2021 Mexican Grand Prix
It had started innocently enough - a late-night discussion about his diet. He had asked you to double-check his hydration formula before heading to the gym. Youâd pointed out that it didnât seem balanced, that he'd been skipping meals. Heâd brushed it off like it was nothing. But that was just the start.Â
âWhy do you always act like you know better?â he had snapped, voice low but cutting. âIâm the one racing out there. Youâre just a helper,â. His words stung. You didnât respond immediately, too shocked by the sudden shift in his tone. But when you did, your voice was tight with restraint.
âJust a helper?â youâd repeated, incredulous. âIâve been working with you for years, Lando. Donât act like I donât know how to do my job,â you had said, your voice edged with a hint of shock and hurt. âYou donât work with me, Y/N, youâre not on my level, you wonât ever be on my level. You work for the team, at least get it right,â.
âYou canât just skip meals and expect your hydration to be perfect,â you had replied, a little more firmly. âYour body needs food to process all the fluids properly. If youâre running on empty, no amount of water is going to make a difference.â
âIâm fine,â Lando shot back immediately, his tone defensive. âI told you, Iâm good. I just didnât feel like eating. Itâs not a big deal,â he said, his voice becoming more and more frustrated. Why couldnât he understand what you were saying? And why did all your arguments have to be centred around water?
For a moment, it seemed like Lando was going to say something else, but instead, he crossed his arms, letting out a long, frustrated sigh. âI donât need a babysitter, Y/N. Iâm not a child. I know how to do my job,â he had said, his eyes narrowed once more.
The words hit harder than they should have. Youâd been working with him for quite a while, supporting him in every way you could, and this was the first time you felt like he didnât appreciate it. âI never said you were,â you had said, your voice cold now, your patience worn thin.
âBut when you start acting like a diva and skipping meals while Iâm the one having to pick up the pieces, then yeah, maybe I do need to step in,â you said, your jaw set firmly and your eyes narrowed. Lando opened his mouth to retort, but you turned away before he could, your back to him as you grabbed your tablet from the table.
Your hands had been shaking with frustration, but you tried to keep your voice steady. âI donât have time for this right now,â you muttered, more to yourself than to him. âIâve got a hundred other things to do,â you moved to his door, only stopped by his voice.
He didnât respond immediately, but you could feel his eyes on you. After a long, charged silence, he finally spoke. âYou think Iâm just acting like a diva, huh?â he asked, his voice colder than you would have thought, sharp and almost like a snarl.
âIm not the one who fucking acts like I run the whole team off my own back - all you do is give water to people, Y/N, youâre useless!â he snapped, his voice raising as you flinched. âUseless? Iâm not-,â you started, your own voice becoming louder.
âDonât give me that bullshit, Y/N! You think, just coz a few people like you, that youâre the one managing this whole team? You donât do shit, Y/N, youâre not important! People would be sad you left your day or two and forget about it, okay? Youâd be replaced in an instant, you have no skill!â.
All of this. Over a water plan. âIâŚfuck you, Lando,â you said, your eyes brimming with tears, voice cracking as you stepped out the door, not even sparing him a glance as you rushed away from him,â
Present Time - Formula One Baku Grand Prix
Sure, you were pissed at Lando, but it really wasnât fair to take it out on the whole team, do, begrudgingly, you dragged yourself to Landoâs side of the garage to hand out refreshments, much to the relief of the mechanics and engineers.
Just imagining if Sochi had never happened in 2021, or youâd never said the comment that youâd said, it wouldâve been some different, and you wouldâve been cheering and going crazy with the team, watching Lando climb higher and higher from his low position.
You could practically feel the tension radiating off of Landoâs car, the stress of a potential championship fight that could be washed away due to one bad qualifying session, or the struggles of getting through to at least a points playing position, everyone was on edge.
Lando had a lot of positions to make up if he wanted to salvage his weekend, or at least begin to try and gain some points. And boy, did he make up positions. One after another, he passed car after car, refusing to let the mistake of qualifying 16th define his race. He was determined to prove himself.
As the race wore on, Lando's mood lifted. Every overtake, every clean pass, brought him closer to his goal. He had no idea what position he was in nowâhe was just racing, just pushing harder than he ever had. When the final laps came, he found himself fighting for 4th. And when he crossed the line, there it was: 4th place.
But all you could do was bury it deep inside of you and push Lando out of your mind - sometimes there were times when you wished you could have screamed and cheered with the team, like in Miami. But you had Oscarâs current winning margin to distract you from the hurt in the pit of your belly.
Time Skip - Post Race - Baku
The mechanics jostled round the garage, all talking, but slowly leaving, exiting the garage as the sky darkened, a pale shade of greyish-blue, a colour you found quite beautiful actually. Like a reflection of the ocean, in some ways.
âWhy are you still here?â a voice snapped you from your train of thought, ruining what was otherwise quite a peaceful movement, your gaze forced sway from the clouds. âNone of your business,â you scoffed, picking up your drinks tray from the side as Lando stared.
âI mean, kinda is,â he replied, his nose scrunched distastefully, like you were something or someone lower than him, which was how he perceived you anyways. âEveryone else has gone home,â he pointed out.
âCheers Captain Obvious,â you said sarcastically, the glasses tinkling on your tray, some with lines of red wine at the bottom, beams of white from the lights above reflecting off the glass. âWhatever,â Lando said, his voice nearly a mumble as he dug he is hands into his pockets.
âLook, Iâd appreciate if you stayed the fuck out of my way,â Lando said sarcastically, âI canât stand your stupid presence,â he snapped, âthereâs nothing to fucking be so happy about, I canât have you annoyingly positive energy around all the time,â.
âExcuse me?â you said, not quite sure what to say after that little outburst of his came from. âYou heard me, youâre stupidly positive and all you do is frolic around with that stupid little tray of yours,â Lando snapped, pushing the tray out of your hand, the plate clattering onto the floor, the glasses shattering at your feet.
âLando, what the fuck is your issue?!â you half-screamed, scrambling away from the shards of glass scattered on the floor, cutting at the soles of your sneakers. âJustâŚ.fuck off, okay?!â he said, his curls a messy heap on his head, his eyes wild.
He looked on the verge of a full breakdown as you stared, in shock at the whole thing. Heâd been fine a few seconds ago, what the hell had happened? âLando, I didnât-,â you started, raising your hands almost in surrender.
âI donât care, I donât care, Y/N!â he covered his ears, âJust fuck off!â. You said nothing, swallowing the lump in your throat as you stumbled back, away from the glassy heap on the floor, and rushing away from the garage. Youâd never seen Lando break down before.
Was heâŚWas he okay?

âyou should come to victoria's secret fashion show next week. im going to walk for them.â
bakugou isn't a big fashion person and he's doing his job as a pro-hero, there's no way he would come to some lingerie fashion show while there are other people who need helpâ
âsure, what time?â fuck it, there's a lot other pro-heroes like deku or shitty hair anyway.
âi'll email you the invitation.â

meanwhile you're in backstage, your makeup artist just finishing your makeup look. with glitter eyes, dewy complexion, glossy lips that matches perfectly with tonight's collection theme âdeliciously sweet.â
âguess who attended tonight's showâ one of the directors caught the models attention.
âwe all know it's dynamight, it's trending all over the internet.â
âstop drooling ladies, because dynamight himself just said that he is only interested in (name) (last name)!â
instead of booing, other models just shoot you teasing looks, âooh, the mother herself!â said one of the models.
you just chuckled and shook your head. âfocus guys, the runway is about to begin.â
the models start lining up, you're the first one in line because you're chosen to open the show. with huge wings that shaped like cotton candy and pink lingerie set.
â1,2,3 (name) go!â
you start to walk with confidence. with each step you take, you can feel your wings jiggling. your eyes scan the audiencesâ spot him, that spiky blonde and crimson eyes that cant seem to look away from you.
she's gorgeous, stunning, breathtaking.
you winked at him. he might explode.
with that interaction, the whole internet breaks.
HOT NEWS: IS THERE ROMANCE GOING ON BETWEEN THE BIG HERO DYNAMIGHT AND THE SUPERMODEL (NAME) (LAST NAME) ?

The Little Things
AN: I was listening to Sexy to Someone by Clairo and thought of Nanami. short, fluffy drabble
You stood in front of the elevator and waited for the metal box to ascend to your floor. It was 8pm, well past office hours, but time waits for no man and you had work to finish. All that mattered now is that you were done. You could slip out of your drab work clothing and crawl into bed as soon as you got home.
You had hoped that you could ride down alone, but you found yourself holding the door open for Kento Nanami, your unrequited work crush. He swept in, his cologne filling up the air and you didn't find it nauseating in the slightest. It was clean, green, and oh so sexy.
"Thank you for waiting for me. Most people would let it close in my face."
"You're too not bad of company," you teased.
He smiled back down at you and you felt heat rush up to your face. It wasn't fair at all. He couldn't be this gorgeous with pretty brown eyes and be one of the nicest people you have ever met. You might not even make it down the elevator with how fast your heart thumped in your chest.
"So why did--"
"You look--"
You had both started talking at the same time. He laughed, apologized, and asked for you to go first.
"I was just gonna ask why are you staying so late?"
"They're pulling a lot of people from my department. Someone had to pick up the slack," he sighed. He ran his hands through his hair and it fell over in perfect tresses. How annoying. How gorgeous.
"Tell me about it. They're doing the same to us in the marketing department. The quarter's almost over so hopefully the workload will lessen."
You could do this with him. Small talk. Safe talk. There was nothing that could go wrong here. Nanami couldn't hear your heart racing in your chest. You just had to keep your cool.
"What were you going to say?" You remembered.
"Oh-- it... I don't think it matters anymore."
The handsome, suave Nanami was stuttering. You had the man stuttering. You snapped your head forward as if you were afraid you messed with the balance of the universe. He cleared his throat and looked at you once again.
"I hope that this doesn't come off... inappropriate. I think that blue looks wonderful with your complexion. And you got new glasses last week. I never got to compliment them."
Your ears were ringing. Did you hear him correctly? Nanami watched you, has kept you in his sights to know that your glasses have changed and complimented your favorite work dress. You peered up at him and his ears were flaming red. Your unrequited work crush could possibly be requited after all.
"Thank you, Mr. Nanami," you said softly with a shy smile. "It almost looks like were matching, right?"
He looked down at his own blue suit and chuckled. "It does, doesn't it."
The elevator dinged and the doors slowly slid opened. Nanami held his hand out for you to leave first and followed behind. You were keenly aware of how close he was to your body as you both said goodnight to the security guard on your way out of the building.
"Well... Good night to you too, Nanami. Try not to work yourself too hard this weekend," you waved. You started on the opposite direction before he called out your name.
"Would you... like to have a meal with me? I know a place," he asked.
You bit back a smile. Never would you have imagined that Kento of all people could get so shy. He patiently awaited your answer but you noticed his jaw tightening.
"I don't know. It's getting pretty late," you teased.
"This place is only open from 8pm to 12am. And a meal is always better with someone to eat with."
He was practically begging you to come with. You gingerly took your step towards him and his smile widened.
"I can take your bag," he offered. He slipped it off your shoulder and you softly hissed at his fingers grazing your shoulder. His eyes darkened at the sound but kept on strutting down the street. Once again, his ears were blushing and you internally squealed. To think that you were rushing to go home only to end up on a date with Nanami. Was this a date?
Only your brain to mouth filter was broken, and you actually asked the question out loud. He gave you a fond look. "I would like for it to be."
You hooked your hand around his raised arm. All this time you thought that your feelings would never be reciprocated, but it looks like you were sexy to someone after all.

Okay, I know reading comprehension on this website is non-existent, so I'll try to use small words in non-complex ways.
The USA was the first country in the world to recognize Israel as a State. Not a United State of America, an independent Nation State.
Do you know when Israel started receiving US financial aid? The late 1940's, after they recognized Israeli sovereignty.
Do you know when Israel started receiving US military aid? The 1960's. It started with Kennedy and the Raytheon Hawk Anti-Air missile system.
Do you know how many treaties, agreements, memorandums of understanding, and defense cooperation agreements the USA has with Israel? A lot. A hell of a lot.
What does this mean, you ask? It means that your country has got a shitload of bureaucracy tying your government to their government, and despite all the enthusiasm to blame "the Biden Administration" for providing the means to slaughter tens of thousands of Palestinians, invade Lebanon, and bomb Iran, well, Israel already had nearly 600 Foreign Military Sales authorized through the US Foreign Military Financing program(as of October 2023), with a ten year Memorandum of Understanding signed in 2019 and valid until 2028. This wasn't some snap decision from "sleepy Joe" to arm Israel; y'all have been doing so since before the towers fell, since before the Berlin wall fall, hell, since before the assassination of JFK.
Do you understand now, or do you need a bit more explanation?
I'm gonna assume you still don't understand.
Close to 60 years of inertia cannot be brought to an immediate halt by any President. There are far too many intelligence, military, economic, and diplomatic ties with Israel to just make it all just... go away. It ain't happening overnight. It didn't happen under Biden. It certainly ain't happening in the next four years. And you might wanna include the full context of the quote you pulled, because cherrypicking is for cowards.
riotbard wrote: surprising absolutely no one but in a contest between 99% Hitler and 100% Hitler the voters wanted full Hitler. They donât want bargain value Hitler they want the full thing. Oh well, guess next time weâll run 102% Hitler and see if THAT excites these ungrateful assholes. Didnât even want Dollar Tree Hitler smh
weenie-extraordinare wrote: This looks and sounds both incredibly fucking unhelpful and terminally online. So Joe Biden and Kamala Harris aren't perfect and beautiful beings of light here to save the world from a shitty celebrity criminal. So they didn't singlehandedly tell a sovereign nation explicitly to stop committing genocide. So they didn't go far enough left for you. Okay. Instead of spending your time crying over how much everyone else in your country loves Hitlers, maybe go outside and talk to people instead of holing up online and blaming the political party that does not want to strip you of your rights for not beating the party that does want to strip you of your rights. Like, I get it, it's not a great time for America. But it could be worse, and now, it will be worse. And if you thought Joe and Kamala were Hitlers, well, just wait and see what Trump has planned for women, Palestine, and Ukraine.
Motherfuckers be like, "Do you know your history?" Better than you yankee-fucking-doodles, apparently. Thank god y'all are just screaming into an internet void instead of saying this kind of shit to people's faces. Y'all make a huge deal out of pointing the finger at your politicians, carrying on like Biden is out there personally, when it's Israel's IDF pulling triggers and slaughtering children. Yeah, the USA is selling them munitions and bombs. It's Israel that's using them. Don't get it so twisted that you're ignoring who is actually murdering the people of Palestine. And let's be real here, y'all pulled a post about "Kamala Harris is not Hitler because a nation she is not the VP of is committing genocide" and turned it into "Look at this fucking verminous approbate, he thinks the black woman isn't a hitler!" And then it kinda swung into "OF COURSE the Biden Administration was solely responsible for allowing them to bom Palestine, and not the blank check written by the US FMF(Foreign Military Financing program)." Y'all so up your own asses over your moral rectitude that you'll dogpile any motherfucker who doesn't bark how you do. Maybe write some letters to your congress, your governors, anyone who represents you, and make your opinions heard. Maybe present those opinions as staunch opposition to the Israeli genocide of Palestinians instead of trying the "Kamala Harris is 99% a Hitler" approach.
And for the record, I have opposed the Israeli occupation of Palestine since the first time I hear about it in the 90's. I still oppose it. I will continue to oppose it. The absolute carnage that is being wrought today is inexcusable. It was inexcusable from the first Nakba, through each fresh conflict, and to the present day.
Free Palestine. End the genocide.
Hey, quick question, who's killing Palestinians? Is it Israelis, or is it Americans? I'd have replied, but you have replies restricted.
September 2, 2024
You know as well as I do that Israel wouldn't have been able to commit this holocaust or invade Lebanon or bomb Iran without the enthusiastic steadfast unwavering zero-red-line ironclad support of the Biden administration. I'm not going to entertain your faux incredulity. It is transparent horseshit.

joost klein x f! reader
tags: dead dove do not eat, f! reader, non-famous! reader, reader really needs to see a therapist, established friendship, theyâre so in love with each other it hurts but canât admit it, joost just wants to be her everything, angst, hurt, comfort, all characters are dutch and speak in dutch but dialogue is written in english for obvious reasons.
word count: 4,156.
warnings: very brief allusion to drugging, heavy and frequent references to SA, violence, vague mentions of non-specific mental illness, rpf.
notes: in my head this takes place in 2021-2022 when joost had that really short, almost buzzcut like hair? like the wachtmuziek era. also, very sorry this is late!! itâs still only been half-proofread and iâm not even sure i like how i wrote the ending but here she is anyway. i love her and i hope you do too đ.

with shaking hands, you fumbled around the bathroom floor to find your phone. your chest was heaving, the cries that you struggled to keep quiet were getting all caught up in your throat as you fought meekly through the nausea. you wiped at your face again, desperate to clear your vision and leaving behind a mixture of tears, snot, and smeared mascara on the back of your hand.
the room itself was dark, barely lit up by a singular dim, yellow light, though despite the shadows you could still see how everything was spinning. you couldnât remember how many drinks youâd had â it hadnât felt like a lot, you werenât a lightweight by any means but you didnât know how else to explain the state you were in. you couldnât stand up even if you wanted to, your legs strangely numb to the touch and the pounding in your head made staying on the floor all the more appealing anyway.
face down on the grimey, tiled floor you found your phone laying just underneath the sink. you ignored the low battery warning as you swiped through your contacts, squinting through your tears at the screen as if it would actually help you see any better. you were only looking out for one name; the third out of the four that were listed under the letter âJâ, and the only name to have an emoji next to it.
over the sound of the heavy, techno bass that seemed to shake the walls and the buzz of a hundred different people all talking amongst each other, you heard the line start to dial. it didnât make sense to call him out of everyone else that could possibly help you; he was infamously known for never picking up the phone. it was ironic for someone so notoriously attached to their screens, his face typically glued to either his phone or his ipad.
but still, you hadnât so much as thought twice about it as you clicked on his contact and then the call button. With your head tilted back against the wall and your knees curled up tightly against your chest, you prayed to any god listening that by some miracle, he wouldnât be busy.
âhallo?â
you let out a whimper at the mere sound of his voice, a small, pathetic noise that quickly turned into a cry that you didnât bother to stifle. he called out your name for a second time, though now in a tone that was much softer than the one before it.
âiâm sorry, i know itâs late.â you paused to take a breath, your voice having cracked like glass as you spoke. âbut i need your help. i donâtâŚjoost, i donât know what to do.â
âitâs okay, just take a big breath for me.â for just a moment you heard shuffling around on the other end of the line. with each of his footsteps the background noise grew quieter until it disappeared completely, following the sound of a door being shut. âwhere are you?â
âiâm atâŚiâm at this house but i uh, i really donât wanna be here anymore. do you think you couldâŚcan you just come get me, please? iâm sorry.â
over the sound of a drum and bass beat that played so obnoxiously loud, you struggled to catch all the whispers from joostâs side of the phone call. there was another voice there, that much you could hear, and you struggled to place it despite how familiar it sounded. you tried to concentrate on the faint muttering, straining your ears to hear it over the song that blared just below you.
but then you jumped when the banging started. a sudden flurry of fists pounding against the wood and making the bathroom door rattle within its hinges. from the deep laughs that followed, chances were it was just a group of guys trying to be funny, probably thinking it was one of their friends getting lucky on the other side. and yet still, you found yourself gasping for breath as you choked back fresh tears, all the blood that ran through your veins turning cold.
âschatje? did you hear me?â
you could only hum back in response.
âi said i need you to send me your location, okay? and then iâll come get you, i promise.â
it was the moment you figured out how to do so that your phone finally gave up on you. after hitting send, the little map displaying your whereabouts popping up in yours and joostâs text chain, your screen began to freeze. in a moment of panic you managed to choke out that you were locked away in a bathroom before it all went black, leaving you to stare at the taunting dead battery symbol.
you werenât oblivious to the irony of it all. in a house crammed full of people, perhaps even a few too many than it was built to hold, you felt alone. just a few minutes ago that was all you wanted, to be by yourself, but now it left you with a ringing in your ears. the absence of joostâs voice was enough to throw you inside what felt like a black hole, where time seemed to slow the longer you waited for him.
you found a brief comfort in watching the time pass on the old, analog clock that hung high on the wall opposite you; you figured it was a better thing to focus on besides the sharp ache between your legs. it helped keep you distracted from the way everything just hurt now, whatever it was that was in your system already starting to wear off. without it numbing you to the pain of it all, you could feel the headache brewing behind your eyes and the sting of your split lip.
with each minute that dragged by, the slow, high-pitched tick of the clock echoing inside your ears, your mind began to slip further and further away. every time that you closed your eyes you could see it happening all over again; you could feel his hands back on you, ripping at your clothes and bruising your skin.
all the tears that you had only just managed to blink away came rushing back, continuing to decorate your face with more long, dark streaks of black. surely, this was going to be the thing to finally break you. there would never be any redemption or recovery for you â heâd get to live the rest of his life without burden whilst this was bound to be the death of you.
the more you unravelled, the more erratic your cries grew with hiccups racking your body and a deep burning in your eyes. for once you found yourself grateful for the musicâs mind-numbing volume, though somehow it still wasnât enough to mask the sound of a soft tapping against the bathroom door. like a coward you froze, failing to answer back before you heard your own name being yelled out to you, followed by a harsher knock.
âhey itâs me, itâs joost. can you open the door please?â
as you steadily climbed to your feet, using the edge of the sink to help push you up, your knees began to shake. they threatened to buckle out from under you with every step that you took, each limp towards the door sending a short stabbing pain up to your abdomen. the sensation made you wince, your jaw clenched and a grip on the door handle so strong that it turned your knuckles white.
it was almost sardonic how despite being in a house so loud, everything went quiet as soon as that door swung open. the music never stopped nor did anyone dare to change its volume, but all joost could hear was his own heartbeat thumping in his ears as his eyes met yours. all he could do was swallow, pushing down the bile that was quickly rising up his throat.
even in the low, warm light of the bathroom, he could see the streaked mascara that painted your face and the bloodied lip that was still trickling down your chin. your favourite shirt, the one that he himself had bought you, was torn and just about hanging off your shoulders. it exposed a trail of black and blue spots that started along your shoulder and went all the way down your arms, a couple even dotted down your legs.
joost uttered your name, his voice barely audible over the music downstairs. the corners of your frown twitched, your bottom lip quivering as you shook your head, already answering the question he hadnât even asked yet. from where you stood he could see you shaking, your knees weak and barely holding you up right. he didnât hesitate to pull you into him, an arm locking around your waist as his hand found the back of your head, keeping you hidden in his chest.
âjesus christ, what happened to you?â
you couldnât speak, couldnât find the right words to even try and explain what it was you had gone through. you could only weep into the fabric of joostâs jacket, so exhausted and overwhelmed that you didnât have the strength to hold yourself together in front of him. but it was more than enough of an answer for joost who just held you tighter the harder you cried, fighting back tears of his own.
pulling away as gently as he could, joost still kept you in his grasp. his hands cupped either side of your jaw, calloused thumbs wiping away stray-fallen tears as his eyes danced over your face. with a gaze so intense, you could see his eyes growing sadder the longer he looked you over in the dull light of the bathroom.
âi left stunts outside â heâs still in the car. we couldâŚwe should go to the hospital.â
âno!â your own dramatic change in tone caught even you off guard. you couldnât help it, you were panicking now, pulling joost back by his sleeve as he tried to guide you out of the bathroom. the action made you wobble and almost trip over your own feet, flinching at the sudden cramp you felt deep in your stomach. joostâs grip on you hardened, not nearly enough to hurt but enough to keep you from falling back and hitting your head on the sink. ânot tonight. please, i just wanna go home. iâll be fine.â
âyou can barely fucking stand, schatje. you need help.â
âthen i promise iâll go in the morning! but right now i just really need you to take me home, okay? iâm begging you.â
perhaps if joost had a little bit more of a backbone and wasnât so hopelessly head over fucking heels for you, he wouldâve had the courage to say no. he would have been able to look you in the eye and still say that he was going to get you to a doctor, whether you wanted to go or not. but no matter how much he wanted to, how much he hated what you were asking of him, he couldnât. feeling you trembling in his hands and hearing the fear that shook your voice meant there was longer a single thing that joost wouldnât do for you.
you were his best friend just as much as he was yours, regardless of all the very non-platonic things the two of you had done together over the years. as far as you were concerned it was just something that youâd do sometimes, only ever as friends. there were never any conversations about it the next morning, never any acknowledgment for what it was you had done the night before; it was almost like it never happened until it would undoubtedly happen again. you always liked it like that though â as long as it meant that you never had to think about how you really felt.
joost, on the other hand, was painfully aware of what he felt about your situation, about you. it was never just sex for him, not even once, and he wanted to talk about it. and he tried to, a couple of times, spending the first few mornings after trying to coax you back into bed just so he could hold you skin-to-skin for a little while longer. but you never wanted to stay and you never wanted to talk about it, either, so joost stopped. he let it become another pain he had to live with and spent each day telling himself that he was okay with that.
it was with only a slight hesitation that he nodded before standing back up straight, slipping his big black jacket off his arms and draping the material gently over your shoulders.
you let joost take on most of your weight as you leaned into his side, letting him guide you back through the house as you focused on just trying to make it down the stairs without tripping. to say that the place was packed was an understatement. people were crammed into every room like sardines, dancing and grinding against each other with stiff, swinging jaws. you hadnât even heard what it was that had been said over the music, its volume still just as loud and disorienting as it had been when you first arrived.
but joost had heard every word, somehow, despite the sound of his own song polluting the room. it made him freeze on the spot, pulling you to a stop right along with him as he slowly turned to face the group of guys that were standing just in front of the front door. you felt your throat start to close at the sight of him amongst them, standing front and centre with a sick grin plastered across his face, his eyes darting between you and joost.
âwhat did you just say?â
it might have been the gruff, nauseating voice that you recognised, or maybe it was those ring-heavy hands of his that you could still feel pressed into your skin. you didnât know, and it didnât matter, because you knew it was him.
âi said good luck with that one, dude. she doesnât go down easy; kept trying to fight me the whole time.â his stare then fell from joost onto you, his tongue gliding over his bottom lip as he looked you up and down. âbut we still had our fun though, didnât we schat?â
the crack of joostâs knuckles colliding with his jaw was something you heard before you saw it; the thud of him hitting the ground following soon after. a chorus of screams and cheers rang painfully in your ears as you watched a small circle quickly form around you. anyone that could still see straight had either ran from the fight or pushed forward to get a better view of it, their phones held high and already recording.
âbet that made you feel like a man, huh? forcing yourself on a girl half your size. you piece of fucking shit, i should fucking kill you!â
in all the years youâd known him, you had never seen joost like that before; his voice low and angry as his shouts drowned out the music. he hadnât waited for him to get back up before throwing another punch, the sharp crunch of his noise breaking making you wince and your eyes water.
you went to step forward, your hands already reaching out to grab joostâs arm when one of his friends pounced. a shriek was ripped out from you when a fist struck joost right across the cheek, knocking him into you hard enough to almost send you both tumbling to the floor. any chance for you to try and intervene again vanished when you were pushed back before you could get close enough, joost quickly shoving you behind him as he swung for the other guy.
a strong pair of arms wrapped your middle and pulled you further back as you cried for them all to stop, keeping you locked against their chest no matter how hard you thrashed. distance was put between you and the fight when you were picked up and half-dragged out the door, joostâs blond hair disappearing from sight amongst the growing crowd around him.
the bitter air of the early morning stole your breath, your chest tight and aching as the cold consumed you. small flakes of snow drifted down from the paleing sky, dusting each rooftop and the old, cracked pavements in a thin layer of white. still, there were a handful of people gathered on the houseâs front stairs, clad in various leather and latex, that only stood and watched as you were hauled away from the party.
âget the fuck off me! weâve gotta go back, we canât just leave him! stuntje, please!â
your feet only met the floor again once you were next to stuntâs car, safely across the street. even from there, you could hear the childish chanting of âfight! fight! fight!â and the occasional glass break from inside.
âmartijn -â
â- stay here; iâm gonna go get him.â
you werenât allowed to argue, so you just did what you were told. for four minutes you sat waiting in the back of the car with the heaters on full blast and still shivering as you nestled yourself deeper into joostâs jacket. after another minute you saw them heading back your way, their pace fast as they slipped past the last few people that loitered on the steps. in the glow of the streetlights you could just about make out the soft shade of purple that was joostâs eye, and the deep scowl that contorted stuntjeâs face.
neither of them spoke as they joined you in the car but for joost, you never really gave him the chance to. his seatbelt hadnât even clicked into place yet before you were turning away from him, desperate to pretend that he wasnât there burning holes into the side of your head. if joost knew that you could see him staring from the corner of your eye, he didnât care. if anything, he probably wouldâve hoped that it might have made you look back at him, because then that at least wouldâve been something.
but seeing joost storm out of that house with a violet eye and raw knuckles, having just risked everything for you without a second thought, it scared you more than you wanted to admit. he was only supposed to come find you, and bring you back home. you never wanted a fight, never wanted joost to wind up with a black eye over you. so no, you couldnât look at him â couldnât even talk to him, either.
except your silent treatment didn't last very long, did it? it couldnât, because joost wasnât going to let you get away with it this time. for as long as he had known you, you always had this habit of internalising what you felt and shutting down. it never mattered what it was you were going through, you just wouldnât talk about it.
this time though, he wasnât going to let you disappear in on yourself again, and he wasnât going to let you shut him out, either.
as soon as the car came to a stop, joost was up and already outside your car door. with a sweet smile, gentle hands were pulling you up and slowly helping you onto your feet before you had the chance to protest. there was a part of you that wanted to, now too proud to admit that you still needed his help. already, he had done more than enough, even too much, for you.
still, you didnât dare to fight it â or him, rather. besides a small goodbye to stuntje, no words were spoken as he slipped an arm under your knees and pulled you up to his chest. it was like that, that he carried you up the three flights of stairs of your building, glancing down at you every so often with soft, worried eyes. it was miraculous how he managed to open your front door with you still in his arms, his very own key to your home dangling from the clip on his jeans.
it wasnât long before the soft leather of your sofa was dipping underneath your weight, its cushion beneath you feeling cold against the bruised flesh of your thigh. joost left you for only a second, just to switch on a couple of the lamps you had dotted around and to dig out your old first aid kit from the bathroom.
you still werenât really looking at him, not even as he perched on the edge of your coffee table and carefully took your jaw in his hold. the brush of the alcohol wipes along the small cuts that marked your face stung and made you wince, your nose scrunching up at the pain. a string of quiet apologies followed as joost concentrated on cleaning you up, wiping away each and every smear of blood and smudged makeup.
the longer that you sat there whilst joost devoted all of his time and energy to you, the more teary-eyed you felt yourself becoming again. it felt almostâŚforeign to feel so loved after everything, like you were still somehow worth saving. there was no way that you could possibly deserve it â nothing you couldâve done to deserve having someone adore you so unconditionally without earning it.
and yet here he was, your joost, doing anything and everything to try and help, and you couldnât even fucking look at him.
the only thing you could do was cry. the way you clutched your mouth did little to muffle the sounds of your distress and it drew back his attention after he turned away only to throw out all of the dirty, used wipes. it was the guilt that was doing this to you, the guilt of knowing that you were the reason why joost now had a black eye. that joost had risked his whole career by starting that fight, and you had been the one to punish him for it.
a warm hand squeezed your knee as another tucked fallen strands of hair behind your ear. it took a few tries of quietly calling out your name to finally get you to meet his eyes, but eventually you got there. nothing could have prepared you for just how sick he looked, the bags under his eyes seeming considerably darker than before and a deep frown tugging at the corners of his lips.
âiâm sorry i did this. i never shouldâve gone with him, i know i shouldnât have because i know that i know better but i still went and i shouldâve done something more, i couldâve hit him harder or yelled, and iâm sorry i called you because your eye, that was me, that was my fault and iâm sorry, iâm sorry, i -â
with your face pressed flat against his chest, his sudden embrace almost swallowing you whole, you couldnât find the rest of your slurred, blubbering words. somehow, at some point, joost manoeuvred you both onto the sofa and with his arms around you, kept you curled up against his side. a few fingers moved up the back of your neck to scratch your scalp as others held onto your hip.
it was the only thing he could think to do to shut you up, to calm you down enough to take big, slow breaths, in and out.
he didnât have it in him to let you finish that sentence.
delicate reassurances were mumbled into your hair, quiet âyouâre okayââs and faint âit wasnât your faultââs becoming mantras that helped soothe the pain in your chest. you wanted to believe him and knew that you didnât. you knew that as the deep baritone of his whispers slowly lulled you to sleep, youâd wake up with that pain still very much there.
but joost wasnât going to stop trying anytime soon, noor was he going anywhere. it was one of the few things youâd actually let him do for you, making himself a home on your sofa whenever you would have one of your episodes. heâd sleep there, eat there, work there. sometimes joost would spend entire weeks of his life in your living room just so that he could know for sure you were still alive and breathing.
he was the only thing offering you the slightest bit of comfort. you could feel his fingers running through your hair as you curled up even further into his side, his voice still low in your ear. it was becoming to struggle just to keep your eyes open, but you knew that he wouldnât mind.
you could fall asleep just to wake up with that same ache in your heart still there, but joost would still be there too. for now, that was all you needed.

Wonder if Sam will take his new legal American bride to Italy? He will be married, although unlike Caitriona's it will be a fake marriage, by 31 Dec. He needs the residency.
Dear Married Anon,
Three possibilities on this one: a) you watched 90 Days FiancĂŠ for way too long and with no attention to details; b) you think I am an idiot, with no legal knowledge or experience; c) you are an idiot, with no legal knowledge or experience.
Your question comes with two strong biases, too: a) that you somehow are privy to such nonsense and b) the old & stale fake vs. organic marriage refrain, regarding C (that, by the way, proves that I did hit a nerve).
I am not very sure to whom exactly do you think you are talking, here. But if I do know one thing is that you, honey, are a Mighty Twat. If you wanted to be consistent with the crap the Gay Crowd spreads around, you could have gone for 'he needs a more solid/credible beard than that', instead of the completely inane 'he needs the residency'. What is he, Burmese? Oh, FFS. And by 'Burmese', I mean exactly this: are his life/personal safety in clear and present danger, in his home country, because of his ethnicity and/or political views? The answer is no, and he could still use his right of asylum. Does he need the US residency in order to secure a better paid job for himself? The answer is no: lots of other avenues can be explored and are routinely being used by thousands of foreign actors/performing artists, in order to legally work and reside in the US. I have even mentioned it before:
(Full October 2023 post, here: https://www.tumblr.com/sgiandubh/729979831079649280/mordor-says-he-returned-only-for-visa-reasons)
But let's suppose even a nanoshred of what you wrote could technically be correct. When you are an US citizen and you want to bring your significant other to live with you there, you basically are offered two options:
Scenario One: you want to bring your fiancĂŠ(e) to the US and get married there. You will need the K-1 visa, as anyone even remotely familiar with that reality show I mentioned knows. That doesn't exactly click with a hastily cobbled 'new American bride' he would marry until December 31 and this is why, according to the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) own website:
[Source, LOL: https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/guides/A2en.pdf]
'You have met each other in person within 2 years before you file this petition'. Who is it, then? The whore? She is French. The chatty influencer? She's 'so over him' (FFS, LOL). Alice 'he's mine and will never be yours'' Panikian? If you think so, you are aff yer heid on cheap gin. Hm? Ashley Hearn? Met her too late and you all know it. A secret lover? ROFLMAO. And psst: Raya girls are just for fun, they don't think homestead. Cross my heart, Anon.
Current and official USCIS average processing time for fiancĂŠ petitions at their (logically) California Service Center is:
But it could be as long as 26 months and a half, if he decides to settle for a Vermont beauty (LOOOOOOOL).
You should also know a couple of other things, Anon. First thing is he will not be able to enter the US under the type of visa he currently more than probably holds, in order to do so - that would be a heavily punished immigration fraud:
Mhm. Restrictions on his ability to future immigration benefits/permanent residence, fine and imprisonment. I hope I do not need to further develop, on this one.
Last thing you should have taken into consideration before writing this bullshit is that the fiancĂŠ visa would restrict his ability to go back to his own home country during all the waiting time. Why would an actor refuse work opportunities in the UK or in Europe for the sake of a fake marriage, as you called it yourself? Oh, if you only had a brain!
Need I say more about the grueling in-person cross-check interviews ? You should watch a wonderful movie starring Gerard Depardieu (a pig alright, but he is perfect, in there) and Andie MacDowell: it's even called Green Card, LOL. Few things changed since 1990, and if anything, the screw got only tighter. Not to mention the fact he will be unable to work in the US during the waiting process and she will have to prove she can sponsor/provide for him! ROFLMAO.
Scenario Two: you get married abroad and want to bring your spouse to the US, afterwards. You will need to file the Form I-130 (Petition for Alien Relative):
[Source: https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/guides/A1en.pdf]
All this does, in reality, is put the spouse in line with thousands of other similar applicants. Residency will be granted only after extensive background checks and this is where I would like to stop for a while, Anon. You are with the Gay Crowd, right? Then how does this logically click with your long established talking point about his 'once very public gay life? Ah: he isn't gay? ROFLMAO. You see, being gay is a bit like being pregnant, Anon: you can't be 'just a little bit pregnant' and you certainly can't be 'just a little bit gay', either. Spare me the drivel đ. Kindly note those background checks are dead serious and could result in deportation - thought you should know, before you spew idiocies again.
Onwards with that residency thing:
If S were in Scotland/the UK when the 'legal fake bride' would file in the petition, he would not be allowed to come visit or work in the US: why would an actor be forced to turn down lucrative opportunities in Hollywood or elsewhere in the country, for the sake of bearding or circus only? And while S could technically apply for permanent resident status if he already were in the US at the time of the application for I-130, he would still not be able to work and therefore must be sponsored by the 'legal bride'. ROFLMAO, again.
I mean, this is so ridiculous I could cry. He would be invited to come to the US only after the petition is approved, which does not click with your suggested timeline and the seeming 'emergency situation' ('he NEEDS the residency', your ask shouts at the Entire Universe) . Why the haste? Just because you wanted to somehow shoehorn it in, somewhere before Inauguration Day? I have no words, but my paunch hurts with laughing right now.
Finally let's have a look at processing current times:
But it could go as long as...
I cannot stress enough that permanent residency will be granted only after the processing time is completed.
Why, oh, why would someone so inextricably complicate his entire existence in such an idiotic fashion, Anon? And finally, give me and yourself a break and read the damn political room, here, too. I will not elaborate, but I surely hope you do not live under a rock.
I rest my case, thank you, fuck off.

The "Interview"
(All characters are 18+)
It was a cold Friday night in London, and four friendsâElliot, Jake, Micah, and Julianâstood in line outside one of the most famous music venues in the city. It was a milestone of sorts: theyâd saved up for months, gotten their tickets with just enough time before they turned 18, and now they were about to witness their favorite artist, Central Cee, live in concert.
They were all from the U.S., fresh out of high school, and their friendship had grown strong over the years. It wasnât just their shared love of music that kept them close, but also their shared experiences navigating life as gay teens in America. Each one had their own story, their own struggles and victories, but they found comfort in each otherâthrough late-night talks, inside jokes, and nights spent dancing to the latest rap tracks.
Elliot, the group's de facto leader, was a tall, lanky guy with curly dark brown hair, a hint of stubble on his chin, and a sarcastic sense of humor that had everyone in stitches. Jake, the creative one, had a boyish charm about him with a mop of messy hair and a slightly mischievous grin. Micah was the quiet, introspective one, with a soft smile that always made him seem like he was in on a secret. Julian, the most confident and adventurous, had an athletic build, a razor-sharp jawline, and always seemed to be the one pushing the others to take risks.
Tonight, though, something felt different. Maybe it was the excitement of being in London, or the energy of the crowd around them, but all four felt a growing anticipation buzzing through their veins. As they entered the venue, a man in a black hoodie approached them. He had the swagger of someone who knew exactly who they were.
âYou lot," he said, "youâre coming with me.â
Before they could ask questions, the man led them backstage, where they were ushered into a dimly lit room with plush furniture. There, standing with his back turned, was none other than Central Cee himself. The moment the door clicked shut behind them, Elliot felt a strange energy in the room, something that made his pulse race.
âRight,â Central Cee said, turning around with a grin that was both welcoming and knowing. âYou lot came here to see me. But before you go back out there, how about a quick chat?â
The boys exchanged puzzled glances. They had no idea what was going on, but curiosity got the better of them. Each one was called up one by one for what seemed like a simple interview, but no one expected the transformation that would follow.
Elliot was the first to be pulled forward. As soon as he stepped up to Central Cee, a strange warmth washed over him. Centralâs eyes glinted with something that made Elliot feel exposed, like he could read everything about him in an instant.
âTell me something about yourself, fam,â Central Cee said casually, his voice smooth but commanding. âWhatâs your vibe?â
Elliot was taken aback. He wasnât used to being asked such personal questions, especially not in front of his friends, but something about the moment made him open up.
âI guess⌠Iâm the groupâs leader, yâknow? Always planning, always keeping us together,â Elliot said, trying to sound confident.
Central Cee smirked. âSounds like youâve got control, yeah? You wanna take control of your life in a new way?â
Before Elliot could respond, a rush of heat spread through his body, and suddenly his skin felt tight, as if something was shifting beneath it. His hairâonce wild and curlyâgrew smoother, darker, and slicked back into a tousled fringe that framed his face perfectly. His broad frame shrank slightly, his arms growing more defined, and his posture shifted into something⌠cooler. He felt a tug at his accentâhis American drawl fading into a crisp London twang. His clothes adjusted too, becoming baggier, more streetwear-oriented. A hoodie and a pair of well-worn tracksuit bottoms replaced his previous outfit.
The transformation was shocking, but what was even more surprising was how right it felt. He no longer cared about his past life as an American teenager; everything about him now screamed British roadman, and he loved it.
âOi, you proper now, bruv,â Central Cee said with a nod of approval.
Elliot didnât even recognize the name he'd had beforeâElliot felt so far away. He was Rhys now.
Jake was up next. He had been watching Elliot closely, but before he could ask him what had happened, Central Cee locked eyes with him.
âYour turn, fam. What makes you tick?â
Jake wasnât used to feeling vulnerable, but somehow, with Central Ceeâs sharp gaze on him, all of his walls crumbled.
âI⌠I guess I just like to push boundaries. Take risks,â Jake said, almost unsure of his own words. âIâm always looking for something new.â
Central Cee raised an eyebrow. âNew, huh? How about we make you new, yeah?â
Jake didnât even have time to process the words before another wave of heat swept through his body. His hair grew out, settling into a perfect, messy fringe. His slim, artistic frame bulged with muscle, and his clothes morphed into the streetwear of a London roadman. A gold chain appeared around his neck, and his voice shifted from his American accent to a street-smart British one.
He felt a sense of ease settle into his chest. His friends were still standing there, but it was as if a part of him had clicked into place. He was no longer that shy, creative guy from America. He was something else nowâsomeone who walked the streets with confidence, ready to take on whatever came his way.
Central Cee nodded approvingly. âThatâs it. You look proper now, bruv. Nameâs Connor now, yeah?â
Jake felt a grin tug at his lips. He was Connor now. No going back.
Micah was nervous, but he didnât show it. He had always been the quietest, the most introspective, and he wasnât sure what to make of all of this. When Central Cee called his name, Micah stepped forward slowly.
âAlright, what about you, bruv?â Central Cee asked, his voice softer but still commanding. âWhatâs your story?â
âIâm⌠Iâm always thinking,â Micah said, his voice unsure. âI overanalyze everything. I never really feel like I belong.â
Central Cee grinned knowingly. âWell, maybe you need to belong to something, yeah?â
Micah blinked, and then, just like the others, the heat surged through his body. His hair fell into a perfect, tousled fringe, his body became leaner and more athletic, and his eyes darkened with a new intensity. His accent shifted smoothly from American to a sharp London tone. His clothes became the uniform of someone who belonged in the streets: a puffer jacket, ripped black jeans, and trainers that had seen some miles.
As the transformation completed, Micah felt an unfamiliar confidence rise in him. He no longer felt out of placeâhe was home. He looked down at his clothes, his new identity settling around him like a second skin.
âYou fit in, bruv. You were always meant to be one of us,â Central Cee said, grinning.
He was no longer Micah. He was Liam now, and it felt right.
Finally, it was Julianâs turn. He walked forward, a little slower than the rest, already knowing what was about to happen.
âYou look ready,â Central Cee said with a raised eyebrow. âWhatâs your vibe?â
Julian shrugged, exuding that confidence that had always been his trademark. âIâm the one who always takes things head-on. I donât overthink. I just do it.â
Central Ceeâs grin widened. âGood. Youâll fit right in.â
As the words left Central Ceeâs mouth, the final transformation hit Julian. His hair fell into the same tousled fringe, and his athletic build became even more solid. His voice shifted to a crisp, confident British accent. His old American swagger was gone, replaced by the loose, easy movements of someone who lived and breathed the streets of London. The clothes shifted too: a grey tracksuit replaced his previous outfit, and he felt the weight of it like armor.
Julian looked at himself in the mirror, barely recognizing the person staring back. The name Julian felt like an echo from a past life. Now, he was Brayden.
Central Cee slapped him on the back. âThatâs the energy we need, fam.â
By the time they all stood together, they were unrecognizableânot just in appearance, but in their very essence. Their American pasts felt distant and irrelevant. They were no longer Elliot, Jake, Micah, and Julian. They were a new crew now, a gang of roadmen. They were Rhys, Connor, Liam, and Brayden. And they had found their place in the world, alongside Central Cee and his crew.
As the night went on, the boys realized that the transformation was completeânot just on the outside, but deep down inside. They had found a new identity, a new family, and a new life.
And they would never go back.
After the transformation, Rhys, Connor, Liam, and Brayden became something entirely differentâno longer just American teens trying to find their place in the world, they had now fully embraced their new roadman personas. Their lives, their outlook, and even their identities had shifted, and London had become their new home.
Their American pasts were like faded memories, barely a whisper beneath the streets they now walked. It was all about swagger, respect, and the code of the roads.
But the change wasnât just about looking the partâit was about living the life. And soon enough, their new relationships started to follow suit.
Rhys was the first to find someone who matched his energy. With his newfound cocky, confident persona, it didnât take long for him to catch the attention of Jada, a fiery girl with a sharp tongue and a gaze that could pierce through anyone. She wasnât fazed by Rhysâ swagger or his roadman façade. In fact, she called him out on it immediately.
âOi, whatâs all this âIâm the bossâ talk, bruv?â Jada said, smirking as she leaned against the brick wall outside the club. Her dark curls framed her face, and the gold hoops in her ears caught the dim streetlights. âYou ain't fooling me. Youâre just another lad trying to play the game.â
Rhys couldnât help but laugh, impressed by her directness. âNah, Iâm solid, Jada. You donât know me like that.â
Jada raised an eyebrow, clearly unconvinced. âAlright then. Prove it, fam. Take a walk with me.â
And so, they did. They spent the next few weeks growing closer, with Jada often pulling Rhys out of his comfort zoneâmaking him think about things outside the tough-guy persona he had built. But that was what Rhys needed. Heâd never had someone challenge him like that before.
They became inseparable. Jada was just as street-smart as Rhys, and together, they ruled the London streets. Theyâd walk hand-in-hand through the parks, both in their tracksuits, looking like they owned the place.
âYouâre solid, Rhys,â sheâd say, the praise always followed by a cheeky grin. âJust donât get too cocky.â
Rhys grinned back. âAinât no such thing as too cocky when youâre with me, babe.â
Connor, the fiery and unpredictable member of the crew, found his match in Sienna, a girl with an even sharper attitude and a style that couldâve been pulled straight from a London streetwear magazine. She had platinum blonde hair, bold eyeliner, and a strut that made heads turn. But beneath that tough exterior, Sienna was sweet, loyal, and down for whatever her crew needed.
When they first met, Connor was quick to try to impress her. Heâd never been the type to settle down, but there was something magnetic about Sienna. Maybe it was her ability to look him in the eye and call his bluff or the way she could hang with the boys without breaking a sweat.
âYou think youâre all that, donât you?â Sienna said one night, her eyes narrowing playfully as she crossed her arms. She stood in the doorway of a local warehouse, the music from inside barely audible over the sound of the street.
Connor shrugged, his grin never fading. âWhy wouldnât I be? Iâve got the look, the vibe. The streets respect me.â
Sienna took a step closer, her lips curling into a teasing smile. âRespectâs earned, fam. You ainât earned it just by walking around like you own the place.â
Connor raised an eyebrow, impressed by her boldness. âYou think you can teach me how itâs done?â
âIâm the only one who knows how itâs done around here,â she shot back.
They spent their days cruising around the streets together, from the markets in Camden to the nightclubs of Shoreditch. For Connor, Sienna was more than just a pretty faceâshe was a roadman in her own right, teaching him the ropes when he needed it.
Eventually, Connor realized he wasnât just playing the gameâhe was in it for real. And Sienna was the partner he never knew he needed.
âYouâre mad, Sienna,â he said one night as they chilled on the rooftop of a warehouse, gazing out at the city. âProper roadman energy.â
âAlways, fam,â she replied, looking at him with a grin. âYou just gotta keep up.â
Liam was always the quiet one in the group. The introspective type. Heâd never really fit in back in the U.S. as the thoughtful guy who was constantly overanalyzing everything. But now? Liam had fully embraced his new persona, and it felt natural. Heâd found his own rhythm, and Tasha, a girl with soft curls and an easy smile, seemed to ground him in ways he never expected.
They met at a local pub one night when Liam was deep in conversation with Central Cee. Tasha had overheard Liam talking about the roads, about loyalty, and about the importance of family. It wasnât long before she joined them.
âOi, I heard what you said about loyalty,â Tasha said as she slid into the booth next to Liam. âI like that. Loyaltyâs everything in this life.â
Liam was taken aback. Most people didnât get itânot like Tasha did. But she understood. She had the same respect for the streets that he did, the same need to feel connected to something bigger than just himself.
They started spending more time together, and Liam found himself opening up to her in ways he hadnât with anyone else. She pulled him out of his head, reminding him that sometimes the best way to live was to be present.
âI get you, Liam,â Tasha said one night as they walked through the back streets of East London, hand-in-hand. âYouâre all about keeping things real. But youâve gotta let go sometimes, bruv.â
Liam nodded, smiling softly. âIâm learning. Youâre a good one, Tasha.â
Tasha smirked, giving him a playful nudge. âAinât no âgood oneâ about me. But youâre alright, Liam.â
Brayden was the most adventurous of the crew, always pushing the boundaries and diving headfirst into any situation. But it was Mia, a girl with bright green eyes and a sharp edge, who caught his attention. She was a force of nature, confident and quick-witted, with an easy laugh and a demeanor that made you believe she could handle anything thrown her way.
Brayden had always been the type to enjoy the thrill of the chase, but Mia? She was the chase. She didnât take his cocky attitude or his charm seriously.
âWhat makes you think you can just walk up to me like that?â Mia asked, raising an eyebrow as Brayden tried to work his usual magic on her.
âIâve got that roadman swag,â Brayden said, leaning in close with a confident grin. âAnd you? Youâve got that energy I canât ignore.â
Mia smirked. âAlright, Iâll bite. But donât think you can impress me that easily, bruv.â
It didnât take long before Brayden was hooked. Mia challenged him in a way no one else didâpushing him to take risks, to not always play it safe. Together, they were unstoppable.
âOi, Brayden, youâre all about showing off, but can you handle me?â Mia teased one night as they walked through a local alley, her voice light but full of challenge.
Brayden shrugged, a grin on his face. âYou wonât even know what hit you.â
Mia rolled her eyes. âWeâll see, bruv.â
The Crew, Together
As time went on, Rhys, Connor, Liam, and Braydenâalong with Jada, Sienna, Tasha, and Miaâbecame a family. A crew that ran the streets of East London, with their messy fringes and cocky grins, and they moved as one.
The bond between the boys had deepened, and with their girlfriends now a part of their world, their crew was unstoppable. Together, they hit the streets, ran the clubs, and lived the life theyâd always dreamed of. Theyâd found their place, not just as roadmen, but as a unit.
There was no going back. They were part of something bigger nowâsomething that couldnât be broken. Their names were no longer American. They were Rhys, Connor, Liam, Brayden, and their girls were with them, each one just as fierce and loyal as their men.
Together, they owned London.

Late night snack - Chapter 2
Vampire Levi x human reader
Trouble arrives for Levi and Erwin, so they must work with the police to stop some dark and twisted trading. You go shopping, meet a fan, take Levi home and it's loving time.
Ao3
Levi pressed you against the wall, his lips never parting from yours. He should have left your place about an hour ago to help Erwin, but he just couldnât let you go. The way your body curved against his, the heat of your body, the taste of you and your darling touch and voice was addictive to him. He was in a pure happy bubble, but he could hear someone walking closer and it annoyed him because he knew very well who was coming.
Erwin walked into your apartment and went up to your blood heater. âAfternoon.â
You pulled from Leviâs lips. âMm, hi Erwin.â
âAfternoon.â Erwin and you had met two weeks ago and you just clicked. You became fast friends and you were helping him romance a cute thing down at the city hall. Erwin had some control over Leviâs power and strength, but you fully tamed him and Erwin appreciated it a lot. âI figured he would be with you.â
Levi slipped behind you and hugged you tightly. âIâm not leaving.â
âI need you for work.â
âI donât want to leave.â
Erwin sighed. âLevi.â
Levi hid behind you a bit. âNo.â
Erwin looked at you and said your name. âCould you have a word with him?â
You turned in Leviâs arms. âSweet honey kitten.â You cupped his face. âBe a good boy and go with Erwin, okay?â
Levi pouted. âBut youâll be lonely without me.â
You wiggled his face. âI will be a bit lonely, but when you come back will be so exciting and fun. Think of all the kisses weâll share when we reunite.â
He nodded as he processed what you said. âYouâre right.â
âPlus, youâre off to be strong and brave.â
His eyes lit up. âYes! Iâm off to be very strong and brave.â He kissed you. âIâll be back later, okay?â
You grinned. âOkay!â
Erwin cleaned up his bottle before recycling it. âIf youâre that worried about her, I could always ask our friend Theodore to look after her.â
Levi pouted. âNo.â
âWhat is your issue with him? Heâs a good friend.â Erwin laughed. âIs it because heâs clumsy sometimes?â
You looked over at Erwin. âWho is this friend?â
âWe have a few, but the one weâre talking about is Theodore.â
You heard Levi growl a little. âWell, I hope I can meet more of your friends.â You kissed Leviâs cheek. âBe safe.â You playfully bumped your fist against Erwinâs jaw. âYou too.â
Erwin chuckled. âIâll bring him back in one piece.â
You waved as both left your apartment. âBye!â
Erwin walked with his hands in his pockets while Levi dragged his feet. âYou have changed a lot.â
Levi pouted. âWhat do you mean?â
âYou enjoyed it when you had to work, but now you pout and show a lot of emotions.â He paused by the car. âItâs a good thing.â
Levi climbed into the back and waited for Erwin to join him. âYou think so?â
Erwin nodded. âI do.â He leaned forward and whispered to his driver before sitting back. âYou two are good for each other. You bring out the best in each other.â
Levi smiled softly. âI think youâre right.â He tapped on his phone and texted you a bit. âSo, whatâs the job?â
âNow, I know we usually sort out vampires but the issue here is a human.â
Levi frowned. âHuman? What?â
Erwin pulled his phone out and looked at the report. âThis human is capturing vampires and bleeding them. Heâs not become a vampire, heâs just using the blood to be stronger and heal up.â Erwin put his phone in his pocket. âHeâs claiming heâs close to god.â
Levi rolled his eyes. âSo, heâs pretending he is a prophet and achieving the lie by using vampire blood?â
âYep.â
Levi clenched his fist tightly. âWhat the fuck are the police doing?â
âThey called me.â Erwin looked over at Levi. âThey said that we can have this. I was surprised that they called, but they werenât sure how to handle this so it must be bad.â
Levi leaned his arms on his legs as he stared at the floor. He said your name with deep love. âI worry about her. If she knew how terrible things were, the things Iâve done, the things I doâŚsheâllâŚsheâll leave me.â
Erwin placed his hand on his dear friendâs shoulder. âShe loves you more than you think. I know sheâll stay with you even after youâve told her everything. Trust her, Levi.â
He nodded as he considered Erwinâs words. âYouâre right. I trust in her and love her.â He climbed out of the car and glared at the high-rise building. âTch, fucking businessmen.â
Erwin walked with Levi. âTheyâre the scum of the earth, especially the ones on wall street.â He paused by the door and saw a sign put up for vampires that said all are welcome. âThank goodness for that sign.â
Levi stormed into the lobby and up to reception. âErwin?â
Erwin leaned on the table. âHello, miss, mind telling me what floor Mr White is on? I would really appreciate it.â
She blushed a little at seeing the two handsome vampires. âTop floor.â
He winked at her. âThank you so much. Oh, and thank you for putting a sign up on the door.â
She nibbled her lip. âAll are welcome here.â
Erwin chuckled. âWhat a lovely lady you are.â
Levi huffed. âWe need to get going.â
Erwin walked with Levi. âLetâs race up the stairs. Shouldnât take us long.â
The lady at the front desk gasped when the two men became blurred as they rushed off up the stairs. âVampires are hot.â
Levi slammed the double doors open and stopped in front of Mr Whiteâs desk. He saw Mr White flinch and drop a bottle causing blood to glug out onto the desk. âMr White.â
He shoved his chair back, but Erwin grabbed the back of his office chair and trapped him. Mr White shook in his seat. âMr Smith and Mr Ackerman! H-Hello.â
Erwin leaned over Whiteâs shoulder. âSay, Mr White, thatâs an interesting colour of drink you have for a human.â
âI-Itâs a medical d-drink.â
âThat so?â
Levi picked up the bottle and sniffed. âVampire blood. Odd medical drink.â
Erwin hummed. âInteresting medicine, right Levi?â
Mr White laughed nervously. âI-itâs just medical!â
âLevi?â
Levi used his speed to act. He launched the chair across the room before grabbing Mr Whiteâs neck and slamming him against the window causing it to crack. âTalk, Mr White, or I show you what happens to the human body when it falls from 40 floors down to a tarmac floor.â
Mr White sobbed. âOkay! Okay! Itâs vampire blood.â
Erwin walked over and looked up at the scared businessman. âWhere did you get the blood from?â
He nervously kept looking over to the same spot in his office. âI uhâŚitâs donated because I-Iâm a prophet!â
Levi looked over at a painting of Mr White as Jesus. âYou seem to really love that painting, huh?â
âN-No!â
âErwin, you might want to take a look.â He flipped Mr White, crashed him into the marble floor before grabbing his ankle and dragging him. âLetâs have a look at whatâs there.â
Mr White wheezed. âP-Please.â
The squeaking of Mr Whiteâs sweaty body being pulled against the marble floor filled the room. Both the smart shoes of Levi and Erwin did join in, but Mr Whiteâs sobs took over. All of them came to a stop in front of the large painting. Levi and Erwin werenât religious, but this painting was making a mockery of those who did have faith.
Levi grunted. âItâs a door.â
Erwin grabbed the edge of the painting before ripping it off the wall to show a huge safe door. âI wonder whatâs behind door number one. Levi?â
Levi handed Mr Whiteâs leg over to Erwin. âGot it.â He walked up to the door, tapped his knuckles against it and hummed in thought. âCouple of feet thick.â He grabbed the handle and pulled a little causing it to groan loudly. âEasy.â He yanked the door off and held it above his head. âWhere do you want this?â
Mr White screamed. âHeâs a monster!â
Erwin pressed his foot against the manâs chest causing him to gasp. âQuiet.â He looked around. âAnywhere will do.â
Levi threw it to the side causing the marble floor to crack and splinter everywhere. He looked at the opening to see it was pitch black and something didnât feel right. âErwin?â
Erwin moved closer to the opening. âSomethingâŚitâs not right.â
Levi grabbed the back of Mr Whiteâs neck and dragged him into the dark. âTch, what the fuck do you have in here?â He banged his fist against the light switch making the room brighten up and reveal the horror inside. âFuck.â
The room wasnât large, but you didnât need a big room to break people. Chained up by silver were four vampires, their wrists and ankles bleeding due to silver knives constantly pressing against them. Their eyes were just crusted puddles of silver that had clearly been poured into them. The smell inside was horrific which was unnatural for vampires. However, these vampires were not normal and appeared to be infected by bad blood. When a vampireâs blood becomes tainted they lose their minds and become mindless beasts. The vampire illness was long gone from the world, but this man had found a strain and some weak vampires.
âHeâs bleeding them.â
Erwin leaned closer to a vampire and sniffed. âThese vampires are practically dead.â
Levi shoved Mr White against a vampireâs oozing wound from the infection. âTch, look what youâve done, you shit! All these lives were ruined because of you!â He leaned towards Mr Whiteâs ear. âDo you feel holy now?â
Erwin pulled back and took his phone out. He dialled the police captain and sighed. âCaptain, I need a word with you. You were right, Mr White was bleeding vampires, but there is something very concerning here.â He looked over at Levi. âIâd get here before Levi kills Mr White.â He hummed as he listened. âUnderstood. Thank you.â He ended the call. âLevi? Try not to kill Mr White, the Captain is heading over here.â
Levi glanced over at his friend. âCan I break him?â
âYes. Like I said, no killing.â Erwin put his hands in his pockets and watched as Levi covered the floor and wall in blood. The screams of Mr White were like music to his ears. He glanced at the vampires to see they werenât reacting to human blood. âThese vampires really are lost.â
Levi stopped beating Mr White for a bit. âNo reaction. Tch, this fucker.â
âNo. Killing.â
Levi shook a little as he tried to control his rage. âI just keep imagining itâs my bunny in there.â
Erwin patted Leviâs shoulder. âI understand.â He looked over at the entrance to the secret room to see the Captain enter. âCaptain.â
The Captain looked around the room slowly as he tried to process everything. âWhat in the world?â
âI called you because there vampires here are almost mindless. Heâs infected them with an old virus. We need to know where he got this and how.â He folded his arms. âBuying a virus is a bioterrorist act. If there was no virus, I would take care of this but you need to be involved.â
The Captain looked up at one of the vampires. âI would like to work with you on this. Having the support of your group would be appreciated.â
Erwin offered his hand. âYou have our support.â
He shook Erwinâs hand before looking over at Levi. âMind calling him off?â
âLevi? Letâs go home to your girlfriend.â
The Captainâs brow raised. âHe has a girlfriend?â
Erwin nodded. âYep and heâs madly in love with her, so itâs very useful in getting him to behave for me.â
Levi walked over to Erwin. âI need to clean before I see my bunny.â
âUse the bathroom here. Iâll finish chatting with the Captain.â
Levi bowed his head before hurrying past the police scaring them a little. He barged into the bathroom and cleaned himself up as panic started to set in. All Levi could think about was how his actions would terrify you. He strongly believed that you would hate him if you knew all the things he did. He didnât want to lose you, he couldnât lose you because you were the love of his life.
âLevi?â Erwin leaned in the doorway. âYouâre spiralling. She loves you for you.â
Levi turned and faced his friend. âI just worry Iâll frighten her.â
âYou two need to talk.â
Levi walked with Erwin. âWhat if she leaves me? I canât live without her.â
Erwin chuckled. âYou had a life before her.â
âIt was a bad life. Itâs better with her.â He whined a little. âI need her.â
You huffed as you looked between two bottles for Levi. Both would heat blood for him, but you didnât know which one heâd like more. You pouted as you thought hard and then it clicked. âAh! This one.â You decided to get him one with bunnies all over it and then hurried to the section with human thermal cups and grabbed one with black cats on.
âBatbunny?â
You gripped your basket as your hair stood on end. You loved meeting fans, but there were some mental and physical scars from some crazy fans. You slowly turned to see a woman smiling with a cute goth look. âH-Hello.â
She gasped and bounced a little. âIâm a fan. I love your streams and videos!â
You relaxed because the vibes you got from her were soft. âThank you so much.â
âAre you releasing more merch soon? Iâd love to get more. You make such cute things.â
You pulled a face as you thought. âI wasnât thinking about it, but maybe? I did talk to the team and I was thinking maybe a witch bunny?â
âThatâd be so cool!â She eyed your basket. âSorry, I stopped you while shopping.â
âOh, I donât mind.â
She shifted a little on the spot. âCould I get a picture or something?â
You shifted close to her. âMm.â You smiled with her as she took a selfie. âDo you want me to sign anything?â
She admired the picture before gasping in delight. âReally? Thatâd be so cool!â She fished around in her bag-shaped like a coffin and pulled out a little book. âThank you.â
You signed your name and drew a little bunny. âHow are things? How are you doing?â
She took the book back. âIâm doing better than I was. I reached a dark moment, but Iâm fighting through it and having you there most nights just chatting and playing gamesâŚit really helped me.â
You welled up. âI know how you feel. Do you want a hug?â
âY-Yes.â
You hugged her tightly. âYouâre so brave, strong and amazing to be here in this life still. Keep fighting.â You pulled back and smiled. âYou are loved.â
She smiled. âYes.â She gasped as something clicked. âOh, are you shopping for you and your new fella? Is he here?â
You hugged yourself. âHeâs not here. I wish he was, but heâs been very busy with work.â
You were right, Levi had been incredibly busy and it was due to work. Levi made it very clear to you that he loved you and it wasnât avoidance, he had something bad pop up. He had been honest with you and told you about the tainted blood, the virus and the sick vampires heâd found. Levi said he was going to tell you everything that was going on in his life and the things he did. All you needed to do was wait for him to come home and he was going to open up more.
She nodded. âI bet you miss him.â
âSo much.â You let out a long sigh. âI hope to see him soon. Iâm doing a shop for him right now.â
âHe has very pretty tattoos.â
You nibbled your lip as you thought about Leviâs beautiful hands, muscular arms and the stunning tattoos on him. âHe does.â
She blushed. âI should leave you be.â She looked behind you as her eyes widened. âOhâŚoh wow. HeâsâŚâ
You turned around to see Levi walking around the shop looking like an angry guard dog. He spotted you and instantly lit up, he smiled softly and hurried over to you. You giggled at how he went from someone scary to someone wonderful. âLevi.â
Levi charged for you and ignored everyone around him. He tackled you into a hug and hummed in delight. âI missed you.â
You hugged Levi with one arm. âI missed you too.â
He pulled back a bit. âYou hugged me with one arm.â
You showed him your basket. âI have a shopping basket.â
âBut.â
You placed it down and hugged him tightly. âMm.â
âBetter.â He released you and noticed the goth girl. âOh, hello.â
You petted Leviâs chest. âSheâs a fan of mine.â
Levi picked up your basket. âThank you for being a fan.â
She squealed in delight. âI canât believe Iâm meeting Leviathan. You two are just so perfect for each other.â
Levi pulled you against him. âMine.â
âI better leave you both to it, I can imagine you have things to do.â She waved to you. âBye Batbunny!â
You waved to her. âBye-bye.â
Levi gripped your basket. âWhat you getting?â
âSecret.â
He pouted a bit. âCan I buy it for you?â
You shook your head. âNo. Iâm buying you things.â
âI donât need anything, I need only you.â
You patted his cheek. âI understand, but I want to spoil you.â You held his sleeve and pulled him around the shop until you were done. âClose your eyes while Iâm paying for everything, okay?â
Levi chuckled. âOkay, closing them.â
You paid for everything and patted his cheek. âAll sorted.â
Levi opened his eyes and smiled. âI love looking at you.â Nuzzled his nose against yours. âOh, Iâll carry that bag for you.â He held it and took your hand. âLetâs go home.â
You hummed a laugh as he showered your hand with kisses. âLevi?â
He blushed a little. âForgive me. Iâm just so happy.â He hummed and led you to a car. âI drove by car today, hope thatâs okay? I know you love my bike.â
You hurried over to his black car and marvelled at its beauty. âThis car is perfect,â you said. âIt looks comfy.â
He opened the door for you. âGet comfy, okay?â
You slipped into your seat and wiggled into the spot. You waited for Levi to get in before speaking. âItâs very roomy.â You looked over at Levi and rubbed your thighs together. âYou have tinted windows so people canât see in.â
Levi tapped his thumbs against the wheel. âItâs a good car.â
âRoom in the back too. Do these seats go back as well?â
âYes.â He glanced over at you. âWhat are you getting at?â
You gripped your seatbelt. âI have some thoughts and some ideas.â
He chuckled. âReally? What kind of ideas?â
You massaged his thigh and moved your hand up slowly. âI want to do something for you.â
He gripped the wheel tightly. âI uhâŚwhatâŚwhat kind of thing?â
âPull over somewhere private and Iâll show you.â
He turned his car. âWeâll go to yours as itâs close.â
You pouted a bit. âOkay.â
He parked in the little spot he had at your place. âIâm curious about whatâs happening in your cute head.â He grabbed your bags and followed you into the lift. âYouâre a fun little mystery.â
You giggled as you leaned against the lift wall. âA mystery only you can explore and solve.â
Levi growled a little as he eyed you. âJust the way I like it.â
You walked out of the lift and unlocked your door. âCome on, handsome. Follow the cute little bunny.â
Levi raced after you and tackled you into a hug. âBunny.â
You wrapped your arms around him as you kissed him. âI love you.â
âI love you always.â
You pulled him along to your sofa and sat him down. âGet comfy.â
He parted his legs and hummed as he watched you. âWhat are you planning?â
You ran your hands up his thighs slowly as you knelt. âYou look so cute. Youâre a man in control and confident, but as soon as Iâm not shy you get all flustered.â
He gulped hard. âYou just keep me on my toes so much.â
You undid the button on his trousers. âLevi?â
âMm?â
You looked up at him through your lashes. âCan I uhâŚyou knowâŚsuck your dick?â
He went bright red. âU-uh, y-yes. S-Sure.â He pulled at his shirt a bit. âDonât f-force yourself though.â
âI asked for his. If it makes you comfortable I wonât.â
âIâm comfortable. I just.â He laughed nervously. âI meanâŚitâs you. I love you. Iâm very attracted to you. I justâŚI donât want to disappoint you.â
You leaned up and cupped his face. âIâll love you no matter what. Iâm sure you look and taste perfect. Besides, itâs okay if you donât last as long as you want.â
He caressed your cheek. âIf you let me touch you or eat you after.â
You giggled. âDeal, now sit back and relax.â
He watched you open his trousers and stare at his bulge. He grunted when you pushed your hand into his boxers and pulled his erection out. His hard length sprung out and tapped against his abs. Normally Levi was confident, but with the love of his life looking at his most intimate part, he was embarrassed. He turned his head to the side and whined a little.
Your eyes widened in awe at how beautiful he looked. He was thick, not too big with a cute pink tip. His shaft was a lovely smooth and light colour with a vein wrapped around it. âLevi.â
He placed his hand over his face. âTch, I know itâs ugly.â
You touched his tip before running your finger down his shaft. âYouâre so pretty.â
Levi moaned at your touch as a shiver ran through him. âS-SoâŚmmmâŚâ He peeked a bit. âR-Really?â
You massaged his length. âMm, very pretty.â You leaned closer and kissed his tip. âYour skin is so soft too.â You titled your head and kissed his cock. âHmm. Heavy too.â
âY-you like it? You like me?â
You nodded as you licked your lips. âI love it.â You stuck your tongue out and ran it up his length causing him to sigh in delight. âPerfect.â
He relaxed against the sofa and closed his eyes as your tongue dragged over him like a cute little kitten. He pushed his fingers in his hair and hummed in delight. A shiver consumed him when you sank your mouth on him. Each hot inch of your mouth was incredible to him. He shifted his legs a little more and felt his body pulsing as you moved your head up and down on him. Each movement from you was electrifying.
He bit his hand a moment. âFuck, how are you so good.â His fang pierced his hand a little causing his blood to run down it. âSuch a hot cute mouth you have.â
He looked down at you and watched for a while as he began to lightly pant. He reached down and massaged his fingers in your hair. He smiled when you looked up at him and hummed against him. The vibration of your hum sent Levi into another world of pure euphoria. He ran his hand to your cheek and ear allowing him to caress you. He chuckled when you hummed a little and mewled against him, he knew you were seeking something from him.
Levi tucked your hair behind your ear. âGood girl.â
The purr of his words of praise was delicious to you. Something about Levi praising you like he did was addictive to hear, you wanted to listen to it for the rest of your life. You tried to take all of him, but it was too much. You pulled back and coughed a little as you felt embarrassed that you let him down, but you were wrong he wasnât disappointed at all.
âShh, itâs okay. Youâre doing wonderfully, my little bunny. You feel so good.â
You smiled at him. âReally?â
âYes.â He pulled you up. âCome here.â He kissed you and sighed in contentment. âThatâs my bunny.â
âCan I keep going?â
He nodded and let you move back down. âIâm all yours.â
Levi melted against the sofa as you bobbed your head up and down on him, your tongue caressing him in all the right places. He couldnât control himself, the urge to cum was building up inside him. He gripped the sofa hard as he resisted the desire to buck. He panted as he felt his pleasure increase. His fangs began to tingle as his hunger for your blood increased. He clenched his jaw and growled.
He gasped when he felt his release. He moaned as his cock twitched in your mouth and filled it with cum. He grunted as you sucked and gulped every last drop. âBunny.â
You popped your mouth from him and smiled. âDid I do-?â
Levi used his speed to slam you against the sofa before you could finish talking. His lips were on yours as he kissed you passionately. He pulled back from your lips, bit the crook of your neck hard and gulped down your blood. âMm.â
You held Levi against you as you moaned. âLevi.â
He pulled back as his lips and fangs dripped with blood. He licked his lips and moaned your name. âYou are a delicious little bunny.â
You felt your whole body heat up. âI-I am?â
He kissed down your body with blown pupils making his eyes look almost black. In one swift motion, he whipped your bottoms off. He admired your thick thighs as they pressed together. âWhy are your legs closed?â
You whined a little. âBecause I ummâŚâ
Levi massaged the back of your legs as he lightly kissed your knee. âYouâre perfect, sexy, cute and lovable.â He parted your legs and dragged his lips down between your legs. âAnd all mine.â
You cried out in bliss when he sucked on the inside of your thigh before biting down. He moved your legs over his shoulders and dove for your heat. You gasped as his hands plunged and pierced your pubic mound. He lapped up the blood before taking your clit into his mouth. He squeezed your thighs as he sucked and licked you over and over. Your body was on fire with pure pleasure.
Your thighs pressed against Leviâs head making him growl. Your toes squeezed in delight as euphoric bliss rushed through you. The way Leviâs tongue moved against you was such heavenly bliss, youâd never experienced anything like this before. Levi was pure perfection, and he seemed to just know your body and exactly what you needed. He knew how your body worked and what you craved.
You reached behind you and gripped the cushions. âLe-Levi.â You arched your back. âOh, fuck, Levi.â
He squeezed your thigh as his tongue lovingly rolled against you. He purred sending a vibration through you. A pleasure-filled gasp came from you. Levi could sense everything about you through to your blood and it was music to his ears as he sensed you enjoying everything he was giving you. He could feel you were close and he could wait to taste your blood when you came hard.
You shifted under him. âA-Ah, IâmâŚmm.â You covered your mouth in embarrassment as you came hard. âMm! F-fuck.â
Levi lapped at your pussy before crawling up the sofa. âDarling bunny, you are delicious.â He panted a bit. âI want to be inside you.â
You wrapped your arms around his neck. âI want it too.â
He shifted a little before pressing his tip into you. He pushed in all the way slowly so he could feel you stretch around him. âYou feel incredible.â
You panted a little. âMm, youâre perfect.â
He tangled his fingers in your hair as he rocked slowly against you, each drag and push of his hips moved his cock perfectly in your pussy. âI love you. I adore you. I need you.â
You dragged your nails across his back. âI will always need you, my love.â
He grabbed the arm of the sofa behind your head and pumped his hips a little faster. âI need your body to remember me, need me, desire me. I need your body to crave me and only be satisfied by me.â
You arched your back and grabbed Leviâs slender hips. âY-Yes, Levi!â
He gripped the arm of the sofa more causing it to groan under his strength. âYouâre mine, mine, all mine.â
Your eyes rolled back into your head as his thick warm member rammed itself in and out of you, each movement pressed against your g-spot and placed you in a constant state of pleasure. Words failed you as the man above you sang your praise and worshipped your body. You were at the pure mercy of a blood-drinking beast above you and you loved it. There was no going back after being with his man, he was perfection personified.
Levi dove for your neck and peppered loving kisses on your skin. He couldnât help but smirk when you whimpered and lifted your neck closer to his lips like you were asking for a bite. He panted and sighed against your skin and ear setting your nerves ablaze with bliss. Teasing you was another delicious meal within itself, but deeply teasing you would have to wait for another time.
Your toes squeezed tighter. âLe-Levi.â The desire to be bitten was consuming you. âPlease.â
He parted his lips before latching down on you. The cry of delight coming from you was enough to make him rut against you in an animalistic way. Such a beautiful creature you were below him and he couldnât wait to make love to you all night. He had yet to inform you that a vampireâs stamina, especially a pureblood, was unmatched and almost unending. You were in for a long night.
He moaned against you as your blood pumped into his mouth was sweet, which meant you were cumming and you were cumming hard. He smiled when you screamed out and shook below him. He pressed himself against you as you bucked and spasmed in bliss. He released your neck, cut his tongue and then licked the wound making it heal.
You panted softly as your body tingled all over. You weakly caressed Leviâs cheek as he licked his kissable lips. âMm, thatâŚyouâreâŚâ
He turned his head and kissed your hand. âDarling bunny, you are in for a long, long night. Vampires have impressive stamina.â He leaned closer to you as you gasped. âIâm going to get you cumming all night long before I stuff your pretty pussy with my cum.â
You squeaked in delight. âLevi.â
âDonât worry, I can only impregnate a vampire. So, you are safe for now and get your pussy filled with plenty of cum.â He knelt up and massaged your pelvis right where his cock was buried making you mewl. âBut when I turn you, Iâll breed you like the good little bunny you are.â He eyed you. âWould you like that?â
You nodded as pleasure throbbed inside you. âFill me with all your cum, Levi. I want to always be filled with it. I want it all. Stuff me with it so that it almost leaks out. When you turn me, breed me good. Iâll give you the best little babies.â
Levi blushed hard. âTheyâll be adorable.â
You giggled as you linked your arms around his neck. âWhat a cute dom you are.â

Thermodynamics and Turmoil (Curly x Reader pt. 1)
Hello! I'm putting out my very first piece ever and I'm so excited to feed the masses as much Mouthwashing content as they deserve :) This game has a lot of sensitive topics to it and as such I'll try my best to bring them up as appropriately as possible. The story is gonna start off slow and elaborative because I love all of the Tulpar crew so much (except for Jollof rice, Jimneva convention) and they all have such interesting personalities that I couldn't help but to explore their wants and aspirations. This story will feature an alternative ending to the game because I cannot stomach sad things they make me very sad </3
engineer! reader x curly TW: a bad word or two, I think word count ~ 1.9K
Curly was back in the medical bay for his routine psychological evaluation with Anya. With all of the questions answered and out of the way, the both of them were just chatting before he had to go back to the cockpit and finish up his duties for the afternoon.
âYouâre all good to go, Captain. Seems like there isnât much change from your answers like last time, as usual.â Anya let out a tired sigh.Â
âThat should be a good thing, given weâve already been on this trip for almost two months now. We should all be used to the routine around here at this point. Has everybody else been adjusting alright?â Curly stood up from his chair, Anya following suit as they moved towards the door.Â
âFor the most part, everyoneâs been well but I wish they would open up or take the assessment seriously. I mean, at least Daisuke has been making my job a little easier â he just talks and talks.â she mused. Curly gave a little chuckle in response, thinking about the last-minute intern that the Pony Express decided to add on board to their journey. He wasnât exactly the most helpful â at least according to Swansea â but he brought an air of lightheartedness that they all needed in a cut-corners, shitty working environment like the Tulpar. âOh, actually, have you seen (Y/N) lately?â
Curly thought for a moment. Along with Daisuke, (Y/N) was another late addition to the crew. The Tulpar has started showing its age and as such, there were increasingly consistent problems with the water pipes, life support, and fuel usage. However, instead of giving the crew a new ship, they handed the responsibility of keeping the ship up and running to the passengers. After their previous trip, Swansea went straight to the higher-ups and ripped them a new one, stating that âhe couldnât be expected to perform miraclesâ. When the crew was assigned this trip, they were all surprised that corporate had listened to Swanseaâs complaints and granted them with another engineer. (Y/N) was self-sufficient, only really needing to work with Swansea to consult him on how best to move forward and with Daisuke when Swansea needed a break from his overzealousness. As a result, Curly saw and knew very little about her. âNo, Iâm afraid I havenât. Why?â
âSheâs due for her check-in as well but I havenât seen her these past two days to tell her that. Go figure. We share a room yet recently sheâs been waking up earlier and sleeping later than I have. When I went to ask Swansea and Daisuke if theyâd seen her, they said that they havenât seen her at all today.âÂ
âHuh. Sheâll show up eventually. This ship only has so many places a person can be. If I see her, Iâll let her know to go straight to you. Thanks, Anya.â He patted her shoulder lightly before heading out, making his way back to the cockpit to fulfill his duties.Â
In the evening, the crew convened at the table for dinner. Curly always looked forward to this time of day, where everyone had finished all of their tasks and could open up with light hearted banter. With only the six of them on the ship for over a year, all they had were each other, and he cherished all of his crew members. Anya and Swansea were chatting to the left of him about Swanseaâs kids back on Earth. To his right, he saw Jimmy get increasingly agitated as Daisuke tried convincing him to swap dinners with him. Thatâs when he spotted the empty chair across from him and realized that (Y/N) was still missing.Â
No one was concerned by her absence; it was a common occurrence, and he trusted Daisuke and Swansea to be in the loop about what she was up to and would report to him if anything happened. During the work day, everyone was so consumed with their jobs and couldnât afford to worry about the whereabouts of the others, unless they needed to lend a hand. Curly wasnât an exception to this. As the captain it was his responsibility to make sure his crew members were okay and that things were moving along nicely, and so far there wasnât anything out of the ordinary that indicated otherwise. With everyone finishing up their dinner, clean up began before people bid each other goodnight.Â
In the middle of the night, he woke up parched. Debating whether or not to get a glass of water, he finally got out of bed and made his way to the lounge where the kitchen was. Leaving his room, he could hear a faint clacking noise grow slightly louder the closer he got to the lounge entrance. Opening the door to the lounge, he was finally met with the sixth crew member whom no one had seen all day. Sitting at the dining table, (Y/N) rested her feet on the seat of her chair and had her knees drawn up to her chest. All around her were books and loose papers scattered about. Her hair was messed up, likely a direct cause of the hand she kept on her head, fingernails digging into her scalp. Curly gently cleared his throat, trying to make her aware of his presence. Shooting a tired glance his way, her eyes widened a bit before immediately sitting up straight and tidying her hair. She looked guilty, like she was caught in the middle of doing something she wasnât supposed to be doing.Â
âFinally, we get to see her. Where have you been, Miss Absentee?â He sent a small smile her way, walking over to her.
âC-Captain! What are you doing up? Itâs quite late.â (Y/N) nervously fidgeted.
âJust up for a glass of water. What are you doing up so late is the real question.â He crossed his arms.Â
âJust doing a bit of work. Canât get enough of it.â She joked dryly. Curly frowned and pulled the chair next to her to take a seat. She sighed and leaned back, finally relaxing from tensing up after seeing Curly enter the room. (Y/N) didnât know her captain well, and as such she always tried her best to save face and remain professional with him, but at this hour of the night, she was too tired to keep up with decorum.Â
He leaned on the table, facing her. âI know we may not be as close as you are with Swansea and Daisuke, or even Anya, but as your captain I care about how youâre doing and I want you to open up to me.â Her expression became hesitant as she shifted in her seat. âWeâre all busy and even though itâs common for you to go missing during meal times, seeing you like this now is making me worried about how youâre doing.â
(Y/N) kept quiet for a second, looking like she was mulling something over before picking up the object right in front of her. âDo you know what this is?âÂ
âAn abacus. Interesting that you have one.â he said.Â
âYeah.â she sighed. She moved her gaze from Curly to the plastic Polle statue in the corner of the room. âBefore I got on the Tulpar, they had given me all of the supplies I needed to fulfill my duties and do what they asked of me. I had met Swansea only briefly before so he could give me manuals and maps of the shipâs layout. I got the uniform, the steel-toed boots, notebooks, writing utensils, and a solar-powered calculator.â (Y/N) shook her head. âYouâd think that would be enough to prepare me to be here, but no . If only there was a way to have a bit of sunlight in outer space in a ship with no windows. They gave me something so crucial but useless out here. I had brought the abacus on board with me for sentimental reasons, but ironically enough itâs the only thing here that allows me to do my job.â She glanced back at him. âIâm not sure if you were aware, but Pony Express lied and said this was an internship for graduate students. Little did I know Iâd be thrown into something I wasnât going to have much guidance in. I needed a break from my PhD and even though the pay wasnât that great, I was desperate for some sort of escape from academia. I thought going to space would give me that, but every day I wake up is a constant reminder that Iâm so underqualified. Swansea is an expert with the mechanical side of the ship and heâs helped me a great deal, but the fluid mechanics and thermodynamics of it all are things he knows nothing about. So Iâm here, trying my best to play catch-up and praying that I figure out a solution so that this ship has enough fuel, enough air to last us an entire year, and that the Tulpar doesnât pop like a pressurized soda bottle while weâre out here.âÂ
â(Y/N)...â Curlyâs voice died at her name, shocked at this revelation and disappointed he somehow didnât know about her struggle sooner. âI had no idea what you were going through. You always seemed to have a grasp on your tasks and Swansea always praised the work you did, so I just assumed you werenât having a hard time adjusting. Have you told any of this to Anya during your evaluations?â
âNo⌠I really wanted to believe that I could do it and stick it out, and so far, thank God, Iâve just barely made it every time. I really wanted you and the rest of the crew to believe I was capable and worthy of being here.â He cautiously put a hand on her shoulder, testing the waters on how he should comfort her.Â
âYou are worthy of being here. The fact that weâve been having such a smooth trip with no complications so far makes that obvious. I really appreciate you opening up to me now. I want to do everything I can to make sure you arenât stressed about your work. You need to get rest and eat like the rest of us. Sure, none of us are a chemical engineering smarty pants like you, but you can always ask for help, even if itâs just for something like bringing you food or running errands around the ship.â He smiled at her, and she weakly reciprocated the gesture.
âIâll keep that in mind for next time. Thank you, Curly.â Too tired to remember formalities, (Y/N) let out a big yawn, much to his amusement.Â
âSo are you gonna go to bed?â He asked. She threw her head back and groaned in defeat, murmuring a âyesâ. âGood! I hope I get to see more of you around now that youâll be asking for help, yes?â
âYes, of course, Captain. Iâll see you tomorrow.â The both of them stood up, (Y/N) to head to her quarters and Curly to finally get his glass of water. Before completely leaving, she paused and turned back. âOh, and Captain?âÂ
âHmm?â He raised his head up to look at her again.
âI know you have a lot of responsibility on your shoulders looking after all of us. Please, rely on me too.â She smiled gently.
âGoodnight, (Y/N).â He called after her as she slipped through the door. He felt content that he was making good progress to gaining the trust of the crew member he knew the least. It always made him feel good to be the reliable captain he hoped everyone viewed him as. Having that conversation with (Y/N) made him a little more relaxed now that she had opened up to him for the first time.

Lucanis Dellamorte x Reader: Late Nights & Delayed Confessions, pt.2
Summary: Late night of hanging out with the two Dellamortes. Lucanis is concerned for your wellbeing. Part 2 of 5. Word count: 1339 Notes: (Unresolved) romantic tension, pining, youâre an Antivan Crow, no spoilers for Veilguard â Part 1 â My writing masterlist
After instructing the tavern keeper to send up âwhatever is the most expensive food and drink around hereâ, you excused yourself to freshen up. The room you had been given was at the other end of the long hallway from Lucanis and Illarioâs, even though you were absolutely certain most of the rooms were unoccupied on the floor.
You ate, drank and talked for hours. A feeling that you could only describe as home warmed your chest. The little jabs Lucanis and Illario threw at each other, the silly flirtatious remarks from the latter, and the adventurous stories of grandeur, whose only point was trying to top the previous one. Just like always on the nights back in Treviso.
Things had always been like this between you and Illario; you were good friends who tossed flirty jokes around and shared gossip over a bottle of wine. He was⌠simple. Safe. On the same wavelength. Nothing romantic had ever happened between you nor were you interested in him as such.
Lucanis was like a brother to Illario, so you had formed this tenuous friendship, that was more about having a loved one in common rather than nurturing an actual relationship.
Lucanis was complicated; intelligent, efficient and business-oriented but also loyal to a fault, kind and considerate. He was an expert assassin, but his heart was in the right place. Not to mention you oftentimes had difficulties taking your eyes off him or stopping undressing him in your reveries. Lucanis was an enigma that made you itch and you yearned to scratch that itch. There was just no way it could ever happen and you had accepted it a long time ago. He was the grandson of the First Talon and you were just⌠you.
But there was also another reason.
You were terrified that one day Illario would realise you had been in love with Lucanis Dellamorte ever since the day you met.
While you ate, Lucanis and Illario told you about the Wigmaker contract in Vyrantium. It had earned Lucanis the moniker âDemon of Vyrantiumâ and the rumours were already spreading like wildfire. Caterina was surely pleased.
Illario wanted to know more about your recent contracts, as much as you would be able to share. Lucanis tried to reel in his cousinâs eager insisting, ever the picture of a considerate gentleman.
âFiore, Iâm so happy to see you, but I thought you would surely be busy on a contract,â Illario tried again to inquire as to why you really had come to this small harbor town to meet them.
Maybe three glasses of wine was enough. You glanced at Lucanis, instantly regretted it, hoping Illario wouldnât have noticed, and started talking:
âI am. Busy on a contract.â
âIn here?â Lucanis asked, quirking a brow. The tone said all there was to know about the town and the probability of someone hiring an assassin on a target in such a place. There was literally nothing but the fish market, and a small harbor that served as a logistical centre for other towns further inland that couldnât afford the taxes and expenses issued by larger harbours. Lots of people passed through, hence the fairly nice accommodations, but usually the kind of contracts you were dealing with would never turn their snooty noses towards a place like this.
âNot here. Butââ
âThe contract knows youâre onto them,â Lucanis ended the lie before you had the opportunity to speak it out loud.
You shrugged in admittance of defeat. It was just like him to follow your line of thought so fast, then just unravel the whole delicately woven web in a single pull.
âAh, a false sense of security. I like this!â Illario clapped his hands together and patted Lucanis on the back â possibly as a way of congratulating his cousinâs quick wit.
âAlso,â you started and cleared your throat, âThere was a small incident yesterday, after I arrived in town.â
Lucanis and Illario exchanged looks.
âWho tried to murder you?â Illario asked in jest, but his smile soon dried up.
Lucanis placed his wine cup on the table and straightened up. He looked annoyed and his gaze started instantly scanning the exits in the room.
âIâm not sure,â you replied slowly. A pang of guilt tried to make a rise. âI took him down, but there was nothing on him to indicate if it was an order or a paid attempt. So who knows.â
âWe should leave,â Lucanis said, still rigid and looking really unhappy.
âCome now, Lucanis. She said she took care of the amateur,â Illario argued and motioned towards the almost empty wine bottle. âBesides, we canât leave a bottle unfinished. The Crowsâ reputation will be ruined.â
âIâm sure he was working alone. I will be perfectly safe in my room,â you said and tapped the dagger hidden against your side.Â
âWhich one is your room?â Lucanis asked, just slightly relaxed.
âAt the other end of the hallway.â You nodded to the general direction, already sensing where this was heading and it filled you with ominous tingling.
âSpeaking of which, I should head to bed.â You started to rise up from the table and avoided both pairs of sharp eyes.
âAre you going to let her sleep alone in a place like this?â Illario teased, looking pointedly at his cousin.
âI canââ you huffed, but Lucanis shot you an intense look. His eyes were so dark and unamused that it shut you up at once.
âHe is right,â Lucanis said. âWe might not be able to hear you across the whole building if something happens.â
You swatted the words away. Whatever he was implying was not enough to bring you around.
âItâs fine. Seriously. I donât think the Merchant Princes would waste any more gold on trying off little olâ me.â
Illario nodded slowly but Lucanis didnât look convinced.
âYouâre a target. We donât know who is after you, but if it were me, I would strike tonight.â Lucanis pinched the bridge of his nose and continued explaining carefully: âThere are no witnesses. The building is only two stories high. No one will look twice at a murder in a place like this.â
You bit your lip. Lucanis was making a good case and perhaps only because you had been thinking about the same points yourself. If the assailant had not been working alone, it was most likely that they would try again before you had the chance to skip town. Maybe they knew you were with two other Crows, maybe they didnât, but did you really want to risk it to keep your silly pride?
âIâll accompany you for the night, just to be safe,â Illario said and for once you couldnât detect a hint of ulterior motives in his tone. Though, the lack of confidence in your abilities stung.
Lucanis stood up and locked eyes with you. A chill rushed through you. He was determined. And maybe a little pissed.
âIâll go. You didnât sleep on the ship so you must be exhausted,â he said offhandedly to Illario.
âAlways so considerate,â Illario replied with a blatant smirk that Lucanis missed. He too got up and stretched his arms.
You sighed in defeat and popped one of the few remaining grapes into your mouth. You shouldâve never brought up the stupid contract. The Merchant Prince would pay extra for arranging this spectacular shit show.
âI will take care of her. Now rest,â Lucanis turned to say to Illario, who he found still smirking.
âOh, I have no doubt you will.â
Lucanis replied to his cousin with a flat stare. Heat rose to your cheeks and Illario winked at you.
Great. So it was not about being confident in your abilities. He was just trying to push you into making a move on his cousin. You didnât want to think about what that implied.
âWell, fine then. Shall we?â you asked Lucanis.
He motioned you forward. âLead the way.â
There was just one problem: your room had only one bed.

shifting to the 60s
hii I havent posted in a while, I've been trying re group from multiple shifts while getting my life back in order but I think I'm back.. Anyway I have a bunch of stories from so many places I'd like to share and im currently working on how I want to post them. But I don't see a lot of storytimes so I think it would be fun to share some. So i'm gonna rant about some shorter ones here.
shifting with sleep paralysis
I wanted to talk about this shift because it stuck out to me and I can't stop thinking about it.. I had shifted about 2 times in the span of 30 seconds. For a whole week back in October I was waking up at 3-5 am in the morning without being able to go back to sleep. So as you can guess I woke up at around 4 am and was restless. At around 6 am I got tired again so I started my method and I know people say that symptoms don't exist but in the time that I have shifted all I can say is that I disagree.. Anyway, one moment I was saying affimations and then the next I woke up all tingly and in a weird sleep state I've never been in before. I didn't even say to myself I wanted to shift I just did. It was like my mind was on autopilot. Didn't say affimations, didn't go through my script in my head, didn't even try to use the 5 senses. I just started seeing myself in 1st person and what I would be doing in my dr without any forethought and shifted. The first shift, I was on a track running with a couple of men and we all were wearing 60s running wear. I had an orange and red tank top with matching orange shorts. It had felt like there was an orange filter in this reality.. if that makes sense. I was on the track about to run and I just recall looking around laughing.
When I shifted to this moment its like I felt my consciousness leave my body; Which is the weird part because I've never really experinced this before. It felt like I was being pulled up by something and all I could hear was constant noise. I don't even know what noise I was hearing it was like someone was screaming right in my ear or veryyy loud ringing/static. The noise was SO loud. I was in the middle of sprinting when I shifted back because I thought I was the one making the noise, I thought I was screaming..Thankfully it was not me. But When I came back I was still In that state and I could look around me but my eyes were still closed. It's like I was seeing everything from a different perspective. There was a spider crawling on my wall right next to me when I shifted back so I freaked out and the noise got even louder ! The spider was leaving black spots all over my wall,, I could not figure out what was going on in the moment ( when I was writing this in my journal I figured out it was sleep paralysis ) It felt like I was tripping on a bunch of pain killers when I shifted back. I still couldn't move so I shifted again to the same reality but this time I was in the shower... the noise got even louder. The noise made it feel like a bad trip and I ended up shifting back here to try and stop it. It took my like an hour to get out of sleep paralysis. Unlike the method, this reality was very enyjoyable. It felt like a Nina Brodskyaya song, I lived alone and I was successful. I think I worked at a cigarette company, which is ironic because I hate smoking. But I don't know for sure as I didn't stay long enough to find out.
Lumari is a country I scripted, Forlina being one of its nations.
This reality was late 70's early 80's and one of my favorite drs. I stayed here for about a year. I was in Forlina living in an all girls home. Forlina gives free housing to students so I moved out of my parents house to start collage. About six girls are given a room to share together, don't worry they are pretty big. I loved our room. It had big sliding windows that gave a view of the tropical forest. We each had sunken in beds, some girls who were home sick shared beds for a couple of weeks. It took me a while to get use to the amount of noise in the morning. There was this one girl who would blast music on the radio while getting ready. I only had to worry about this sometimes because I woke up pretty early. Art was one of my classes and the professer would make the class times either 7 am or 9 pm which also took me some time to get use to. idk the guy was kind of weird. I rode my bike everywhere here. I miss being able to ride down a bike trail and see the ocean. I've been thinking about shifting back here for some time. I might post more about this reality in more detail later.

the horrifying implications of Cinderpelt as a pawn of Starclan- trying everything she can to unsuccessfully stop her apprentice from leaving because she's terrified of the internalised idea of "failing" her clan and her job due to her impending death, while unaware that the entire Crowpool situation is intentional by Starclan for their own benefit to initiate the Power of Three prophecy and that her death in itself is to be Leafpool's motivation to stay- the idea that the stars, the ancestors and family and friends she devoted her life to always meant for her to die young and hopeless and were willing to manipulate her emotionally for the best outcome for them- is alone a piece of her character that's infinitely more heartwrenching and tragic and interesting than "she actually had a crush on Firestar and she's sad she can't date him :((" and I'm so mad that the latter is her primary legacy instead of any interpretations of her as a character that go beyond boring forbidden romance #17 that was barely even implied to begin with
#im sorry but with knowledge of how fucked up starclan is what they did to cinderpelt is. horrifyinggg#this specific interpretation is maybe a bit of a reach but it goes hand in hand with them lying to squirrel and leaf and so on#and also makes more sense in-universe as to why they 'reincarnated' her afterwards than literally just a cocktail of fanservice and ableism#hey sorry we put you on an inevitable death sentence so your apprentice could get pregnant but stay here lol. you can uh possess ur niece i#anyways sorry for all the cinderpelt talk ive been thinking a lot about her lately#she has such a weird reception in the fandom in that she's considered a 'fan favourite' but literally nobody cares about her too much#theres only like 4 cinderpelt maps with over 100k views and theyre all a couple years old at least#for good reason probably because there's a lot of ableism around her both canon and fanon#but still it's a wee shame since she's such a major character to the first two arcs that the little fanon about her there is is kinda borin#cinderpelt#warrior cats#i think shes a lesbian and i also think she should have been allowed to kill someone for fun
