"I was in a sheer dress the day that we met We were both in a rush, we talked for a sec Your friend hit me up, so we could connect And what are the odds you send me a text?"

You were attending an award show, and just happened to spot him from the red carpet. He was right in front of you getting his pictures taken by the paparazzi. Niall spotted you as well, sending you a quick smile as he walked off the carpet, allowing you to get your pictures taken next. This wasn't the first time you had seen Niall, you two have briefly met before at other award shows. You always wished that you guys could become closer though, you've always thought that he was cute, and you two always got along well the few times you had met. You walked up, the cameras flashing as soon as they spotted you. You showed off the sheer dress that you were adorned in, hitting a few different poses for the cameras before walking off. You saw Niall hanging around off the carpet waiting for you. You shuffled over to him as fast as you could due to how tight the dress was, knowing that you two were in a rush and didn't have long to speak. You quickly greeted one another, talking for a few minutes. You two hit it off like you always did, but something felt a little different this time.

"Well, I got to get to my seat. But hey, maybe I'll see you around afterwards, yeah?" Niall spoke.

You smiled at him. "Yeah, maybe I'll see you around.

You both scurried off to your seats. The both of you talking to your friends about how you wished you could connect with each other for the rest of the night. Little did you two know, your friends were mutual friends. They had a plan to set you two up.

After the show ended, you went straight back to your hotel. You got changed into your pajamas and laid in bed. You were scrolling through instagram, looking at all of your fan's reactions to your outfit from tonight. But you couldn't get your mind off of Niall, you never saw him again, which made your stomach sink a little, knowing that you missed another shot at getting to know him better. But just then, you got a message from one of his friends.

"Hey y/n, just wanted to let you know that I gave Niall your number, he was asking for it, hopes thats alright. Just wanted to give you a heads up." The message read.

"Ok, thanks for the heads up." You quickly replied back.

Just then you got another text.

"Hey y/n, it's Niall, got your number from a mutual friend."

You smiled at the text, knowing that you finally got your chance.

"And now the next thing I know, I'm like Manifest that you're oversized I digress, got me scrollin' like Out of breath, got me going like (ooh) Who's the cute boy with the white jacket and the thick accent? Like (ooh, ah)"

Over the next few weeks, you and Niall texted and called constantly. You were falling for him hard, in fact you were already fantasying about the things he could do to you. Manifesting that he was oversized and that he'd fill you up so nice. You'd stalk his social medias, practically drooling over some of the pictures of him. He truly took your breath away. You found him so attractive. You were still thinking about seeing him at that awards show. Niall had on a white jacket that fit him perfectly, and that pretty accent of his that you loved so much. You couldn't wait until the next time you could see him again.

"But I bet we'd have really good bed chem How you pick me up, pull 'em down, turn me 'round Oh, it just makes sense How you talk so sweet when you're doing bad things That's bed chem How you're looking at me, yeah, I know what that means And I'm obsessed Are you free next week? I bet we'd have really good"

Waiting for Niall's tour to end so you could meet up again felt like forever. He still continued to text you and facetime you every night. But you just wanted to see him in person, wanted to hear that accent in person, wanted to know what it felt like to be held by him, and you couldn't wait to see how good y'alls bed chem was. You were laying in bed just dreaming of it, suddenly your thoughts were interrupted by a facetime call from Niall. You quickly grabbed your phone and answered it, immediately being met with a smiley Niall.

"Hey princess." He smiled.

You stomach fluttered at the nickname. Niall had been calling you that for a while now, but it still got you a little flustered. "Hey Ni." You smiled back.

"Surprised you're up so late, you should be in bed." He frowned.

"I'm fine, was waiting for your call." You yawned.

"Wish we were in the same timezone." He spoke.

Niall was finishing up his last few shows in London, and you were in the U.S. still.

"I know," You agreed.

"Well hey, I got some good news. Are you free next week?" Niall asked.

You perked up a little. "Yeah, why?"

"Well, I was thinking you could fly down here to London, watch me finish up the last few shows, then you could just stay with me for couple of weeks." He confessed, his tone a bit nervous.

You smiled. "I would love to."

"Great, I can't wait to see you." Niall smiled, relieved.

"Come right on me, I mean camaraderie Said you're not in my time zone, but you wanna be Where art thou? Why not uponeth me? See it my mind, let's fulfill the prophecy (ooh)"

You had been in London for a few days now, watching Niall finish up his last few shows. But tonight was the first night you actually had time to hangout, and Niall was taking you out to dinner. You sat across from him at the table. You two were eating and chatting the night away. It felt so right to be in his presence, the smile never left your face.

"You're so beautiful." Niall blurted out.

"You don't look to bad yourself either, Ni." You smiling, admiring him with your arm propping your face up.

He was in a button down shirt, with just enough buttons undone to show off part of his chest, and it was driving you wild. You couldn't hardly stand it anymore.

"Niall." You said.

"Yes y/n?"

"I want you." You spoke, bringing your gaze up to look him in the eyes.

Niall smirked. "Then what are we waiting for?" He said as he got up out of his seat, grabbing your hand and pulling you out of yours, as he headed out of the restaurant and back to his car. Neither of you even cared about the paparazzi outside taking pictures of you two hand in hand, and rumors that was going to arise from it. He was just worried about getting you back home so he could finally have you, only worried about fulfilling the prophecy. He opened your door for you, before getting in the car himself and starting the journey back to his house. He had his hand resting on your thigh the entire ride home, making you even wetter. As soon as you pulled into the driveway, Niall had you up over his shoulder, scurrying to his room. He laid you down gently on the bed.

"Who's the cute guy with wide blue eyes and the big bad mmh? Like (ooh, ah) I know I sound a bit redundant"

"Fuck, 'been waiting to do this." Niall whisper, undoing his belt.

You grabbed his hand, stopping him. Niall gave you a confused look.

"Let me undress you." You begged.

"Shit, go right ahead, princess."

You slowly unbuttoned his shirt, retaining eye contact with him as you did so. You tossed the shirt on the ground, quickly getting up on your knees to pepper kisses along his shoulders and you undid his pants, letting them drop to ground, Niall stepped out of them. You leaned back a little to look at you work, seeing the huge bulge in his underwear already. You hastily pulled his underwear off, letting his dick spring loose. Fuck it was so pretty, even bigger than you imagined with precum already leaking from the tip. You were practically drooling over it.

"Like what you see?" Niall snickered.

"Fuck yes, Ni."

He chuckled a little. "Okay, my turn now."

Your stomach fluttered as Niall pulled your dress off over your head.

"So pretty." He murmured before unclasping your bra, letting your tits free. He brought his mouth to one, sucking and licking on the sensitive bud, eliciting a moan from you. You let your head fall back, bringing your hand up to run through his hair. Niall finally let off the bud, bringing his hand up to cup your jaw, bringing your lips to his. You let your tongues swipe together as he cupped your face. You had barely even got started yet, and you were already overwhelmed with pleasure. You were the one to finally pull away.

"God, you don't know how long I've been waiting for this." You cried.

"I know." Niall agreed, still out of breath from the makeout.

You pushed him to sit against the headboard.

"Wanna suck your cock, Ni." You said before taking his member into your mouth.

You let his entire length into your mouth, gagging and trying to adjust to his size before letting your mouth bob up and down on it. Niall's head fell back, balling his hand up in your hair, pretty moans pouring from his mouth. He tasted so good you could cry. You kept this up for a few minutes, bobbing up and down, sucking, and licking on dick.

"Fuck y/n, if you don't stop you're going to make me bust."

You came off of his dick with a pop, licking a few stray stripes up his length. You came up to look him in the eyes, waiting for his next move.

"But I bet we'd have really good bed chem How you pick me up, pull 'em down, turn me 'round Oh, it just makes sense (it just makes sense) How you talk so sweet when you're doing bad things That's bed chem (well, that's bed chem) How you're looking at me, yeah, I know what that means And I'm obsessed (I'm obsessed) Are you free next week? I bet we'd have really good bed chem"

Niall quickly made work of pulling your panties off and getting on top of you, he let his tip rub along the wetness of your slit. Both of you moaning at the feeling and anticipation.

"You sure about this?" He asked you, his lust blown pupils looking you in the eyes.

"Yes, fuck. Never been more sure of anything Ni. Just want to be filled up." You babbled.

He let hid cock slip into you, bottoming out as he let out a string of curses. Your back arched, it felt so good to be filled up by him.

"Fuck Ni, feels so fucking good." You cried, letting your nails scratch down his back.

"Shit, I know princess. You're so tight, fits my cock just perfectly. Niall moaned.

He found a steady pace, moans and whines spilling from both of your mouths. Everything was so intimate, the sound of skin slapping against skin filling the room, the eye contact you held with each other, it made your head all hazy and dizzy. The only thing on your mind was the blue eyed man on top of you, and how he ran his hand through your hair as he praised you.

"You're so fuckin' beautiful."

"You're taking me so well, baby."

"'Been waiting to do this for way too long."

"You are just perfect."

"And I bet we'd both arrive at the same time (bed chem) And I bet the thermostat's set at six-nine (b-bed c-chem) And I bet it's even better than in my head (ooh)"

You felt your body tensing, ready to snap. "Ni, I'm so close." You whined.

"Me too, hold on, princess." He moaned.

Niall picked up his pace, becoming sloppy in his strokes. But he was still hitting all the right spots. You felt your body tensing even harder than before.

"Fuck, Niall I'm coming." You cried, your eyes rolling to the back of your head.

"Fuck babe, me too." Niall yelped, his head falling to your chest as his orgasm overtook him.

You held each other, coaxing one another through your orgasms. You felt Niall's warm liquid coat your walls, making your back arch. Niall carefully rolled the two of you over, holding you in his arms. The two of you laying in a puddle of sweat and each other's fluids, as you came down from your highs. Niall brushed your hair behind your ears, planting a kiss to your forehead.

"You alright, love?" He asked gently.

You brought your head up from his chest to look at him, a dopey smile on your face. "I'm perfect, you felt even better than in my head."

You earned a chuckle out of Niall with that, "Same here."

A silence fell between the two of you as you stared at each other.

"We have really good bed chem." You smiled, breaking the silence.

Niall laughed. "Hell yeah we do."

"I should write a song about this." You laughed, letting your hand rest of Niall's cheek.

He just shook his head with a smile, "I bet you will. Now let me get us cleaned up." He spoke, leaving the room to get a wet towel and some new sheets. You laid on the bed, waiting for him to come back.

RAWRRRR THIS IS MY FIRST TIME WRITING DBF!JAKE OOPS

pairing: dbf!dom!jake x fem!na'vi!reader

genre: smut, 18+

warnings: age gap (reader is 19, jake is whatever age yall want LMAO), p in v, slight choking, someone almost walking in on 'em. DADS BEST FRIEND!, tit play

word count: 500 :)

His hair tickled the skin of your tummy as his face was pressed into your soft chest, his hot tongue licking hungry stripes up your swollen breasts, occasionally swiping over your nipples. Your legs were wrapped around his torso as you ran your hands through his silky hair, tugging on it from time to time in sync with his rough thrusts. Your soft mewls and moans grew in volume and you felt Jake’s large hand snake up your chest, before he rested it loosely around your neck.

“Shh, keep it down sweetheart..” His hot breath fanned over your collarbone as he pumped his cock into your tight heat. “You’ve gotta keep quiet, babygirl. Don’t want your dad to hear, right?” He teased, sinking his sharp canines into the plush of your breast, groaning against it as your cunt squeezed him. “Such pretty tits..” 

The sound of approaching footsteps made you snap your head up, desperately checking whether or not you had secured the entrance to your part of the hut. Jake didn’t seem to care though, despite the fact that a thin drape was the only thing keeping your dad from revealing the secret that had been going on between his daughter and his best friend for so long. Instead, Jake put a finger over his lips, gesturing for you to keep quiet as he increased the tempo of his rough thrusts. You almost forgot about the person standing outside the entrance, before a voice snapped you out of your thoughts.

“y/n? You okay in there?” Your dads voice came from just outside the room, worry present in his tone. Jake retreated from your neck, placing both of his calloused hands on your soft tits, squeezing them and toying with your hard nipples as he pounded your cunt. Your voice was breathy and you stumbled over your words, interrupted by involuntary moans.

“‘m.. I'm fine da- hmn! I’m okay dad!” You managed, clamping a hand over your mouth to muffle any further unwanted noises. It felt wrong, so lewd and vulgar, but the way Jake’s cock filled your needy cunt so deliciously had your mind in a haze, and your sense of judgment was thrown out the window. As soon as your ears picked up the sound of him walking away, you fell limp into Jake’s strong embrace. 

“Atta girl.." He cooed, grabbing your hips with his large hands and laying you down on your back. His cock was still buried deep inside your soaked cunt, and you begged him silently to start moving again. “I don’t think he noticed, baby, good job..” He grabbed a hold of your plush thighs, throwing your legs over his broad shoulders before snapping his hips into yours, reaching deeper in this position. He fucked into you mercilessly, teasing and testing you to see what made you moan the loudest. And when he found the right button, he hushed you with a gentle squeeze to your neck. 

“Ah ah, what’d I say, sweetheart? If you keep moaning like this, he’s bound to figure it out. What do you think he’d say about it, huh? About his best friend being balls deep inside his precious daughter's needy, sopping cunt, hm?”

UHUHU I WISH I ADDED MORE PETNAMES BUT I CAN'T BC I DIDN'T WANT TO MAKE IT TOO LONG..

EXODUS/HAVOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey folks, sorry for running two days late but better late than never, here's my 14th and final review of 2024, Exodus and Havok!!!!!!!!!! It had been 9 years since I last saw both those bands, Exodus I last saw April 15, 2015 with Testament at the Phoenix and then I would see Havok 8 months later on December 18, 2015 when they were direct support for Battlecross at The Garrison, and that was my last show at that time. Both bands delivered the goods live and this was a great way to end my 2024 concert season with, so I'm glad I made it count.

Let's begin the festivities!

First band up was Dead Heat!!!! I hadn't heard of these guys before but when I took a look they were crossover and were more in line with Municipal Waste. My friend Derek knew who they were since he saw them open for Municipal Waste earlier in the year in London and he said they were pretty good. They definitely were a pleasant surprise to see as they had great onstage energy and the crowd was definitely having fun enjoying them as I could see circle pits going on during their set.

Next band up was Candy. This band was incredibly boring to watch as their songs sounded like a continuation of their first song, in other words, their songs all sounded the same and it felt like I was about to fall asleep. I call them Candy-Ass given how I found them to be a snorefest, and to my ears, their music tasted like licorice or rockets, had they been good they'd be like my fav Candy in Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. All the more reason to save my energy for the last two bands. I'll also highlight there were posers throwing down in the pit like they were picking up loose change and it's definitely a bad idea to throw down in the pit during the next bands set as their policy states "No Karate in the Pit".

After Candy it was time for HAVOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This was my 4th time seeing them and it felt awesome to finally break my 9 year drought. It would've been say 6 and/or 7 years had I gone and seen them on their own headlining shows but I skipped those shows given how both were at The Rockpile or as I call it Crock of Shitpile as I absolutely loathe that venue for a plethora of reasons, plus I was satisfied with having seen their 2014 headlining show at Hard Luck Bar. David Sanchez then said the following in between songs before Hang Em High "Something happened. We released uh, the last song we played called Fear Campaign came out on our record called V. V was released May 1st, 2020. We were supposed to start a tour with Hatebreed the same day it came out. But instead of touring and all of your plans they locked you inside your cage, locked you inside of your house like caged animals *draws boos* for a couple of years. We'd like to dedicate that song to the people that made that happen". Then David Sanchez had encouraged the crowd to buy 17 items from each merch stand to support the bands but then he retracted it by saying "I'll settle for 12 items". Also what was different about the lineup is Reece Scruggs not being in the band since he left to join Machine Head full time and now Brett Rechtfertig is the new lead guitarist also their bassist Nick Schendzilos was absent for a few shows so they got a crew member to fill in on bass and he was awesome. Here's their setlist:

1. Point of No Return

2. Fear Campaign

3. Hang 'Em High

4. Prepare For Attack

5. Death is an Illusion

6. New Eyes

7. Phantom Force

8. Covering Fire

9. From the Cradle to the Grave

After Havok it was time for EXODUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This was my 5th time seeing Exodus and first time in 9 years seeing them since they were co-headlining with Testament in which they blew Testament off the stage at that time. It was the first time in 14 years I got to see Exodus headlining as I saw them do it with Rob Dukes at the then MOD Club now Axis Club. This time around it was with Steve "Zetro" Souza and between him and Rob Dukes, I've always liked Zetro more since he's charismatic and engaging onstage, plus I always liked his hard rock vibe about him, although I do admire Rob Dukes' punk vibe to him. Zetro said the following before they got into And Then There Were None "So Toronto it's going to be one of those nights huh? Before we continue, let's go over the guidelines because there are no fucking rules! You guys in the pit, take care of each other, somebody goes down, pick em back up, if they look like they've been hurt a little bit, help em out. You guys wanna crowd surf? We love that shit, but make sure you don't crush anybody's fuckin heads, and these gentlemen right here, make sure that you land safely because you know what Toronto, We're all in this shit together right? Now this is a pretty old school set, we are gonna go to Persona for a couple, but it's pretty much all old shit is that alright with you Toronto? Then let's get back into it *cue him introducing Garh Holt and going into And Then There Were None*. Zetro also made mention of his debut album with Exodus in Pleasures of the Flesh where he declared that he and all of us in the crowd were "fucking Brain Dead", and the most notable banter which had humour in it was "I gotta say, all of the Canadian shows kick fucking ass. I know you don't like the Habs but we were there last night and they were good to us *draws boos* I know, I know, I get it, I'm a hockey guy, I fuckin get it, but I'm saying Canada in general, you motherfuckers got your metal shit fuckin going on" he also paid tribute to Paul Baloff and Rob Dukes when asked which songs he likes to sing. Zetro also made mention of how next year will be 40 years since Bonded by Blood was released and as well had mentioned how they did a lot of crazy shit in the 80s to where Zetro had initially dismissed the idea of Exodus being together for over 40 years. I will definitely highlight Gary Holt's golden high tops which I thought looked cool on him and alongside his purple ESP with the upside down crosses. I was glad I didn't see them with Obituary and on the Bay Area Strikes Back tours in 2017 and 2022 respectively in London because Exodus would've KO'd Obituary and Testament off the stage. Here's their setlist:

1. The Last Act of Defiance

2. Blood In, Blood Out

3. Fabulous Disaster

4. And Then There Were None

5. Body Harvest

6. Prescribing Horror

7. The Beatings Will Continue (Until Morale Improves)

8. Brain Dead

9. Deathamphetamine

10. Blacklist

11. Metal Command

12. War Is My Shepherd

13. The Toxic Waltz (with Spirit of the Radio and Raining Blood intros)

14. Strike of the Beast

Overall an awesome show and a great way for me to conclude my 2024 concert season. I shall return February 24th, 2025 when I catch Septicflesh

HEAVY METAL FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

good enough to eat.

rating: explicit. 18+ only. length: 2,116 content: Jax Teller x f!reader, established relationship, smut [receiving fingering, unprotected p in v], kink(s) [spit as lube, breeding]

when Jax is starving, there's no waiting.

When your partner returned from a daytime ride you were busy with the final preparations of dinner, setting the table for yourselves and your parents who would be joining you for the first time. His boots against the hard wood signified he’d found you in the dining room setting the table before they paused, his large frame pausing to lean against the door frame and soak in the pretty little dress and red panty hose you’d worn today. 

“Call your parents and cancel,” he instructed, and if it were anyone else his demanding tone would have been enough to set you off. From Jax, however, it had only ever felt right to listen to him. Even still, this wasn’t exactly the kind of notice you gave when cancelling plans.  

“What?” You questioned, turning to face him with a puzzled look on your face. Jax nearly groaned at the sight of you in red lipstick. “Is something wrong? Did something happen while you were out?”

He walked toward you then, trapping you between the table and himself with hands grasping both of your hips to encourage you to sit on the surface. His blue eyes shining with something mischievous and hungry he shook his head, hands leaving you to rest on either side of your waist on the table. “Had a good ride, nothin’ went wrong,” he replied, eyes dragging down your body slowly. “I woulda come back sooner had I know this is what was waiting for me.”

Before you could interrogate him, he leaned down to capture your lips in a bruising kiss, one of his knees knocking your legs apart so he could step between them. He always kissed you like a man on death row – you supposed he was in a way – and now was no exception, his tongue entering your mouth to kiss you deeply until you were breathless. Your parents were due on your front porch in an hour. Still, you couldn’t help your curiosity.

“If you knew what was waiting for you? Dinner? It's a special dinner, I told you what I was making,” you started as you gasped for normal breaths, his lips trailing a familiar route to your neck where he kissed over your pulse.

“Not the food, I don’t give a shit about that right now. I’m talking about you,” he breathed out, sucking softly on the most sensitive part of your neck, lips molding into a smile against your skin when you gasped. “You look so fucking pretty in this dress setting the dinner after cooking all day. Like a proper little housewife. Where’s Abel?”

“He…he went down for a nap a little bit ago,” you gasped out. It was almost shameful how fast you melted beneath him, how fast his soft lips and rough beard against your neck had you gripping his shoulders. “But my parents…”

“Don’t want to see what I’m about to do to you, sweetheart,” he cooed to silence your whine, his lips brushing lightly against the sensitive spot behind your ear. Even after months of being with Jax you still felt goosebumps break out on your skin when he whispered in your ear. “Don’t care what you tell ‘em, besides not to come. Tell ‘em Abel is sick, or you’re sick, or hell – tell ‘em the truth.”

You definitely weren’t going to tell them the truth, but there was no use attempting to say no to him when he was running the tip of his tongue on the spot, causing a shudder down your spine. “What about dinner, Jax? I worked away all day in that kitchen…”

“Don’t worry, darlin’, I’ll make it up to ya,” he cooed, nipping at the spot before withdrawing to look up into your face again, his nose lightly brushing against your jaw as he went. He tapped your phone on the table beside you to further his point. “I can’t wait hours, I’ve gotta have you right now.”

You picked up your phone with a shaking hand, Jax smiling triumphantly before using one hand departed the table to slide up your thigh, pushing the skirt of your dress higher until it was around your hips. As you managed the number to dial your mother, he stepped backwards to take you in, mouthing “no panties?” to you. You bit at you lip and nodded as a smile broke out across his face, cheeks burning red as the familiar voice answered. 

“Hi mom,” you greeted, sounding entirely too normal for Jax. He reached a hand forward, running a finger experimentally over the crotch of your hose that was already soaked with your arousal. He smirked when your voice hitched higher, his finger sliding to connect to your clit. “I’m so s-sorry to do this last minute, but I don’t think you should come over. Abel has been throwing up and is running a fever…y-yeah, I’m sure he’ll be okay…okay I will…okay maybe tomorrow. Love you too, bye.”

His lips connected with yours again as he took the phone from your hand, sliding it down the table to remove any change of distraction. The kiss became desperate, his hunger burning through as he applied more pressure to the kiss, his hand now working his pants down his hips to free his straining cock. Once unencumbered by his pants and underwear he attempted to pull your panty hose down with a tug to the material over your thigh, pulling away from the kiss with a huff when there was no give.

“I don’t have time for this shit,” he snapped, connected both hands to the material and tearing so there was a hole in the crotch area. He bowed his head to connect his lips to your neck again, his fingers swiping through your folds experimentally. He smiled crookedly when you moaned quietly, head falling back to give him better access to your neck. He nibbled at the spot behind your ear before slipping his index finger into your velvet entrance. “So, fucking wet, baby. Bet you could take me with no warmup you’re so soaked.”

You whimpered at his words, sliding a hand to the back of his head and lacing your fingers in his hair to tug his head backward, twisting your head to kiss him desperately again. He gave you a few pumps with his index finger before adding a second, repeating the thrusts and picking up the speed to piston the tips into the spongy spot behind your clit. 

“Fuck,” you whined when you released him from the kiss for air, Jax immediately running his eyes over your face to drink in your expression before running them back down your body, watching his fingers disappear into you repeatedly with the most vulgar, wet noises. He removed his hand from your hip to connect that thumb to your clit, expert figure eights combining with his thick fingers to coax you toward oblivion. 

“That’s it, baby,” he cooed, nipping at your collar bone gently, smirking when your hips bucked upwards at his praise. “You go ahead and make a mess on my fingers, and I’ll fuck you right here.”

He curled his fingers again, repeating the motion over and over in time with the circles he was rubbing on your clit until your legs were shaking. As much as he loved to watch you gush around him when you orgasmed, he connected his lips to yours again, swallowing the loud cry that came from you as you did exactly that. Your vision blinded by white and senses on overload you hardly noticed his hands leave you, one fisting his cock firmly to give it a few pumps as the other grasped your hip, pulling you to the edge of the table. 

When you became barely aware again you felt pre-cum leaking head being rubbed through your truly soaked folds before he dipped into you, slowly sliding inch by inch into your wet heat. He pulled away from the kiss again to watch his cock disappear into you, groaning quietly as he leaned his forehead to your shoulder. You turned your head to kiss behind his ear as he had already done for you several times tonight, a shudder running up his spine as he buried into you to the hilt. 

Once he felt the head of his cock bump into your cervix he stilled for a moment, giving you a chance to adjust to him – he was so thick it didn’t matter how many times he’d taken you, there was always a stretch to accommodate him. You wrapped your arms around his neck after encouraging him to raise his head again, your hooded gaze meeting his before you leaned forward to bite at his bottom lip gently, pulling back to signify he could move. 

And oh, could he move. Jax Teller had the hips of a god, his thrusts into you slow and sensual and so deliberate, each inch of him massaging your inner walls perfectly. When you released his lip from your teeth to moan and slide one hand to the back of his head, fingers clutching his hair slightly he set the perfect pace, groaning at a feeling that got better every time he had you. 

He removed his gaze from your connected cores to look deep into your eyes, releasing a shaky breath. “You are so fucking beautiful,” he panted out between breaths, leaning his forehead against yours. “You’ve been so good lately, taking care of us. Fuck, I’m crazy about you. Who’d you get all pretty for today?”

 “You,” you whined out, barely capable of forming a coherent thought let alone words as he found the perfect spot to bump with each thrust. The hand you had on his shoulder gripped harder, your fingernails denting the leather he still wore. 

“Say my name,” he groaned out the instruction, one he often had to give as you lost yourself in him. He connected his thumb to your clit again, increasing the challenge knowing full well he was pushing you toward another orgasm and taunting you with the ledge. “Whose pretty fucking housewife are you, baby girl? Tell me that and I’ll think about lettin’ you make a mess on my cock, but not before then.”

You whimpered loudly, pulling his hair slightly to hold his head back so you could connect your gaze with his icy blue eyes, full of so much adoration it was almost sickening. Wanting to only add to it more you nodded, gasping out your words in moans. “’m yours, Jax,” you whined, clutching onto him tighter as you pressed gentle kisses to his lips over and over. “Fuck, I love being yours.”

He practically growled as his motions on your clit quickened, spitting between your bodies to give himself more lubricant to rub faster and faster. He started kissing you gently then, lovingly and soft as his breathing increased, sweat breaking across his brow in concentration. When your legs began to shake slightly he slowed his movements, bumping the tip of his nose against yours lightly. His next words were quiet, serious as he fought to hold off his own release. “Lemme fill you up then,” he asked, though it hardly came out as a question the intent was clear. “Wanna see you pregnant with my baby.”

Your walls clenched around him involuntarily at his words, a silent confirmation if the pornographic moan that fell from your lips wasn’t enough. Suddenly he could move again, and he did so perfectly, coaxing you right back to the edge of release. When your walls began to flutter around him he simply nodded, connecting his lips to yours in a heated kiss as your second orgasm rushed through you. With a few more thrusts of his hips, he spilled his own release into you with a groan, opting to pull away from the kiss to lean his forehead against yours gently. 

When you’d both finished and fallen into one another’s arms, faces buried in each other’s neck, you pressed lazy kisses wherever your lips were able, hands rubbing gently in whatever positions they’d landed. When he pulled his head away to look down at your neck, he smiled at the perfect marks he’d managed to leave, the sight almost good enough to make him hard again. Forcing himself to maintain composure he removed himself from you, running his eyes down your body to where your combined releases were dripping from you. 

“…can I eat before you take me to bed?”

He questioned, eyes flashing with the mischief that meant he was far from done with you. This new family dinner was certainly something you could adapt to.

The jingle of the front door bell of Family Video rang loudly, prompting Steve to let out an aggravated sigh.

Normally, it wouldn't have irritated him that much, after all it was his job, but the fact that it was only seven minutes until closing was enough to agitate him beyond comparison.

"Welcome to Family Video," he said, managing to sound much more polite than he felt.

"Daddy!" a high-pitched voice rang throughout the store, accompanied by the pitter-patter of tiny feet.

Steve's agitated expression from before melted away as he squatted down. The tiny girl sprinted toward him, landing directly in his arms.

He left a kiss on her hairline, lifting her up to his chest as her tiny arms wrapped around his neck. "Mwah," he chuckled against her head. "How's my Lori-girl?"

Max followed closely behind the girl, a smile sitting on her lips. "Excited to see you as always," she answered for the child.

Steve slightly pulled away from Lori, his eyebrows raising as he asked, "Did you have fun with Max today?"

"Mhm," she answered, nodding her head with all the power her little body possessed. "She took me to Bradley's and let me pick out whatever snack I wanted."

"Well, wasn't that nice of Max?" he asked, shooting a thankful look toward the redhead. "What'd you pick?"

"Goldfish," she answered matter-of-factly.

"Those are my favorite too! Are you gonna share 'em with Daddy?"

Her lips scrunched as she thought about her answer, eventually nodding in response.

"They're in her bag," Max spoke up, placing the Care Bears themed bag on the counter, "along with a finger painting she did yesterday that finally finished drying and her Scooby-Doo."

"Thank God," he exhaled, "she nearly had a meltdown when she couldn't find it last night."

"Well, I took very good care of him for you last night, Lori," she smiled, kissing the three-year-old on the cheek. "I'll see you tomorrow, sweet girl."

"Bye-bye, Maxi," she grinned back, watching as Max walked out the front door of Family Video.

Steve swung the girl around to his back, piggybacking her around the store as he put away the last of the tapes.

"I wanna help," Lori pouted, her tiny palms digging into the hair that sat near his neck.

He chuckled at her efforts to seem more grown-up, placing a tape in her hands and pointing to its spot on the shelf.

"I thought child labor was banned in the United States," a voice giggled from the end of the aisle.

The two looked in the direction of the voice, their eyes landing on a woman around Steve's age, who was holding a copy of Flashdance in one hand and Footloose in the other.

Steve let out an awkward chuckle, unsure how to respond.

The lady walked closer, a playful smile sitting on her lips. "You know, I'm having a hard time choosing which one I should pick," she said.

A silence came over the room for a beat. Suddenly, the lady's eyes lit up, her expression signaling that a light bulb had gone off in her brain. "I know! Why don't you pick for me, little lady?"

A blush made its way to Lori's cheeks. "Hmmm," she hummed, "That one."

The woman watched as Lori's finger pointed directly at Footloose, prompting her to place the other tape back in its place. "Ring me up?" she asked, directed at Steve.

"Sure thing," he managed, a matching crimson appearing on his own cheeks.

Lori tugged on her father's hair as the three walked over to the checkout counter, signaling that she wanted his attention.

"Hmm?" Steve asked, sitting his daughter down on the counter beside the register.

"Do you think she's pretty, Daddy?"

Steve blushed even harder than he already was. "Lorraine," he scolded, avoiding eye contact with the both of them.

"I think she's pretty," she smiled, turning to look at the woman.

"Thank you," she smiled, her own cheeks heating up. "I think you're pretty too."

Steve continued to scan the movies the lady had placed on the counter, secretly praying his daughter would drop the current conversation.

"Curious minds wanna know: do you think I'm pretty?" the woman asked, internally astonished by her sudden boldness.

His eyes grew wide as he considered his answer. He stayed silent, sliding the tapes into the plastic bag.

He could barely manage a, "Thank you for choosing Family Video," as he slid the bag across the counter to her.

She started her trek toward the door, a pout tugging at her lips. "That's too bad. I think you're quite handsome," she said, lingering near the door.

Steve blushed once more before replying, "I do! Uh, th-think you're pretty, that is," he stuttered as he walked around the counter. "I was just a little flustered. Lori doesn't usually put me on the spot like that."

Lori giggled from her spot on the counter. "I could tell you thought she was pretty, Daddy, so I wanted to make sure you told her before she left."

His lips scrunched as he turned back to his daughter. "You cheeky little girl," he pretended to scold her, burying his face in her tummy and blowing a raspberry.

Lori's shrieks could probably be heard all throughout Hawkins, her silky tufts swaying as she attempted to squirm away from him.

The lady grinned as she watched their interaction, slipping closer to the door.

"Wait!" Steve called, turning back to face her.

"Hmm?" she asked as she stopped mid-step.

"I didn't catch your name," he said, feeling more bold than he had earlier.

"Y/N," she answered with a half-smile. "Thank you for help, Steve."

And with that, she headed out the door, leaving Steve a little shaken up by the whole conversation.

Lori scooted closer to the edge of the counter, pulling herself up onto Steve's back. "You should ask her on a date," she commented. "She's pretty and really sweet."

"You're feeling extra bold today, Lori-girl," was what fell from his lips, but what he really meant was, "I might just take you up on that."

OK, I know this isn't exactly what you guys were expecting me to post today... however, I hope this can be seen as a nice lil peace offering until I do get a chance to post the next Whumptober fic.

I wish I had a good reason I didn't post the next Whumptober fic today. The only reason really is that I ran out of inspiration and put it off until it was too late.

The plan now is to either post it some time over the weekend or double-post on Monday when I post the next next fic.

In the meantime, I hope you guys enjoyed this lil blurb! I am so so so excited for this series and all the ideas I have for it! I hope you guys are just as excited as I am!

Gay Panic (ROTTMNT Bros X Reader)

my one braincell came up with this, we’re making POLY GAY FLIRTY READER EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also it’s my first crack at a non-hc fic in a WHILE, be nice pls ;v; ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You sighed, It was currently 10pm at night, you were wandering around the park due to boredom, April wanted you to come out there tonight as she wanted you to meet her Friends, you often refused because you found it unnaturally unfair how attractive her male friends who she LIKED being around were, but sadly, they were always straight or just someone you didn’t like them at all, this often was a sign to April that she probably shouldn’t be around them anymore, to her, you always had a good intuition on how people are, She’s learned this the hard way sadly.

But this time she was BEGGING you, she wanted you to meet them because they were so nice, you ended up giving in, not exactly having high expectations, until you met them

They were just like April said, super sweet and seemed to adore you and April, but there was something that made you nervous; They had on hoodies and refused to let you see their face, you thought it was fine, just weird.

After a while, the one who you Learned was Named Michelangelo, or Mikey started messing with his hoodie, which caused another one, Donnie, to start nitpicking at him until they got into a squabble, April leaned over to you and whispered “All four of them are Brothers, they argue a lot” you laughed and replied “I can see that”

Almost a few seconds later, Mikey had his hood pulled off of him, this caused everyone except you to freeze, you looked at him, he had green scales and a shell, you smiled warmly “You okay there Mikey, is something wrong?” you asked politely, it didn’t bother you that he was a Turtle mutant, you’ve heard about mutants before, hearing awful things about them but, these four seemed nothing but friendly, hell, you even found them attractive.

Everyone seemed to relax at your words, there wasn’t a big freak out from you, that’s good, at least.

They all took their hoodies off, seeing as you completely ignored the mutant part of them, April cheered and said “I knew you five would get along! I told you four he didn’t judge people based on their looks, besides, He’s already seen mayhem!” She started pumping her fist in the air grinning like a happy fool.

The turtles, though relaxed, seemed on edge and started talking amongst themselves, this didn’t bother you that much, you assumed being shown as a mutant without intending to would be similar to being outed as gay, but worse.

You scooted over to April, blushing. “Awww, you like them don’t you?” she teased, wiggling her eyebrows, which made your blush a lot worse.

You were silent, fiddling with your [F/C] hoodie, all the while looking down sadly

“I bet they’re straight, huh?” you mumbled, which seemed to make April’s grin drop

“Hey,,, No, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to tease you about that” she said softly “It’s fine” you said, looking up at her

“If it makes you feel any better, they aren’t straight, I’m pretty sure they’re gay but refuse to admit it to anyone” she smiled, you looked over to them, you thought they were cute as all hell, even if they were mutants, ‘which shouldn’t even matter to people’ you thought

“So, what should I do, then? ask ‘em out? Say a shitty pick up line?” you grinned at the last bit, April thought for a second “Depends on which one you wanna ask out” She said, taking a sip of her soda

“All of them.” you replied bluntly, making April spit her drink out, which, in turn, made the boys look over at you two, April waved them off “It’s fine, He just said a joke!” making you silently panic, all four of the boys went back to talking

“You serious about this?” She asked you, one eyebrow raised, you took a second to think before saying a soft “yeah”

“Alright well.... Mikey, Leo, and Raph adore pick up lines, Donnie despises them, Unless you got a good one, I wouldn’t try it” you thought for a second before responding “I got a good one” sending her a grin “Not that one!” she groaned, you’ve used it on one of her Straight friends before, but you did do her a favor because the dude was a massive homophobe, he reacted so badly to it, so she dropped him as a friend.

You pulled your notebook out of your backpack/messenger bag and ripped a few pages from it.

“Whatcha doing?” She inquired, “you’ll see” you said

Once you were done, you got up and walked over to the four brothers, making them look up at you nervously

You swallowed your fears, “Hey, I’m about to leave, But I had to speak to y’all first” you said softly, as if raising any higher would make them run off into the woods like deer.

The four acknowledged you

“Can I ask y’all a question?” Donnie looked at you for a second before nodding

“I love y’all.” you said bluntly, making the four give you a quizzical look

“But... That’s not a question..?” Leo said, you leaned in and replied

“And it never will be” 

before slamming the four pages onto the seats they were on

You bolted off as they stood there in stunned silence, April approaching them and saying “They finally worked up enough courage to ask, huh?” she was grinned and shoving her elbow into Donnie’s ribs playfully

“YOU KNEW?!”

The four brothers screamed, their faces bright red.

“Yup, They asked if y’all were gay and they wanted to ask y’all out SO bad, it was so cute how much they were fawning over you four” she giggled

Donnie, Mikey, Leo and Raph picked up a paper each with your phone number on it, blushing wildly.

Rating Various Star Wars Curses

a guide w much real swearing, inspired by a midnight convo with @kckenobi​

-----------------

crink/crinking -- what the actual fuck is this supposed to be. Who came up with this??? We’re only a few letters away from ‘crinkled’ or even ‘tinkled’, god. No self respecting Space Adult is going to use this.---  -2/10 pls try again

sithspit-- a classic. can be found everywhere in fic. kind of sounds like you’re hissing, which the sith would probably appreciate actually. (do normal space ppl use this or is it just a jedi thing tho bc most star wars citizens dont seem to know abt the sith???) --- 9/10 very sssssssmooth

holy sith!-- again with the sith?? ok i guess. a pretty good alternative to ‘holy shit’ but lacks the pazzazz of sithspit which is 10x more fun to say ---6/10 reliable but uninspired

frizz/frizzled -- what is this, the magic school-bus? I love Ms. Frizzle with all my heart of course, which is why im disturbed by seeing her name used as an approximation of fucked (it kinda sounds like jizz too which I HATEE). I can maybe see it as a kiddie swear like frick though. ---3/10 what the frizz is this

dwang-- ...kind of strange but you know what I’ll accept it --5/10 haha dwang the rock johnson

e chu ta-- a solid fuck you. definitely sounds like a space language, and has a nice ring to it when said with passion. works for characters ages 9-->999, thank you kiddie anakin for this gem. --10/10, ‘a fine addition to my collection!!’

sleemo-- sounds like the word ‘sleazy’ and for once the real word association does it a favor. You hear this and just KNOW what kind of person it describes. ---8/10 honestly huttese curses can get it

farkled-- ...this is the name of a fucking dice game. also it sounds nasty                --0/10 get sued pls 

blast-- idk if this is actually a star wars curse or an irl thing, but it absolutely should be. you got BLASTers for cripes sake this shit writes itself -- 10/10 it just makes sense honey

son of a blaster-- ok we get it guns aren’t a thing in space. except they are. sob is great i guess but consider son of a slugthrower boom alliteration plus badass space guns lets go boys ---7/10 alliteration is key

kark/karking-- amazing. inspired. beautiful. I regularly forget this isn’t an actual thing and use it in everyday life. gotta love the hard consonants she is cathartic as kark to use. -- 50/10 she just hits different ok

kriff/kriffing-- basically ‘frick’. Actually sounds like a kid-ification of kark and I just really admire that about her. 10/10 all the cool initiates say kriff

bantha poodoo-- the one that started this whole discussion. listen, this is fine when you’re 9 year old anakin skywalker and say ‘yippee’ unironically but for anyone else this is just embarrassing -- 2/10 ok if you’re baby i guess

skrog/skrogging-- at first I was gonna rate this one low bc it sounds weird and is a synonym for fuck (which just ain’t it). but then I thought about it and realized that if you replace bantha poodoo with bantha skrog you actually have a somewhat decent word for space shit. --- 6/10 we done figured it out boys 

snark/snarking-- this is already a real word. why are you stealing actual live words out of the english dictionary sir that’s  i l l e g a l  --- 0/10 for plagiarism

druk-- a solid replacement for shit, and more serious than skrog (though bantha skrog sounds better than bantha druk imo). gotta love those consonants, and a ‘drukload’ of problems is a phrase that just works. 9/10 will always be there for you

krong-- I just... I dont... know? How i feel abt this. reminds me of king kong donkey kong AND kronk from emperors new groove. maybe thats my own brains fault but also where does this work?? ‘dont krong things up’ just use kark? ‘bantha krong’ just use skrog or druk. In conclusion? --4/10 ok but you can do better

schuta-- we’re branching out folks! finally, a twi’leki curse. she’s catchy and  very fun to say, but it does mean slut, and we respect women in this household. If you wanna make a very despicable character say it though it will help make us all want to beat ‘em up :) ---5/10 all women are QUEENS george

vape/vaping-- ... ill give u a pass bc I dont think vaping was a thing when this word was made, but this straight up doesn’t work in the blessed decade of 2020 ---1/10 you’re on thin fucking ice

shab/shabuir-- not to be confused w ‘shebs’ which is just mandalorian booty, this is mandalorian shit. Sounds like a real word, is mandalorian which automatically makes everything 10x more legit, and has that lovely insult variation! ---7/10 truly some shit I can get behind (heh)

vong-- we don’t mention the y**zhan v*ng in this household --- -∞/10 legends can get right tf outta here

shavit-- friends, I had to look this one up to make sure it wasn’t actually a real swear word. I think I’ve picked this one up through osmosis reading fic bc I’ve definitely used this in real life. that’s quality folks. --- 10000+/10, will unironically say this from now on

-------------

KC, I cried laughing at some of these I truly dont know where they come up with this stuff. 

there’s a lot more where these came from but i didnt feel like doing all of them, heres the link tho , knock yourselves out

Striking Matches Masterlist

~~~~~

Aelin locked her door before heading up the hallway to her boyfriend’s apartment. Tonight the Moonbeam twins were holding a little Yulemas party for the team at their apartment and they had very graciously invited Aelin along. It wasn’t anything fancy so she had dressed in a sweater dress and black leggings so she could be comfortable while lounging around.

She didn’t bother knocking before walking into the apartment and caught Rowan just as he was coming out of his bedroom, looking casual but very handsome. Throwing her jacket on his table she waited for her boyfriend of 3 months to greet her.

“Hello you,” he said, walking right up to Aelin, hands going to her hips before kissing her.

Aelin couldn’t help but hum in happiness against his lips. “Hi.”

“You look nice,” Rowan murmured, not breaking the kiss. “I like this colour on you.”

“I thought you would,” Aelin said as she pushed him away. “You ready?”

“Yeah, I just have to get my phone.” Rowan let her go to head back to his room. “Can you grab Lorcan’s present from the table?”

“Sure,” Aelin said unenthusiastically.

Lorcan had ended up being the one who Rowan had to get a gift for in the Secret Santa. In Aelin’s opinion he didn’t deserve a thing, the sullen prick. They were yet to make any sort of connection or progress when it comes to being friends. They were both content about their mutual loathing anyway. Aelin picked up her coat finding two wrapped presents underneath. One was hers she knew, Rowan’s extent of Yulemas decorating was the tiniest of trees on his small table and that was where he put his presents, but she was under strict instructions not to snoop. Putting the jacket on top had disrupted the tags, the two pretty much lying on top of the one present, checking them Aelin found the one for Lorcan on the bottom and moved the other back onto her present before slipping the small box into her bag.

By then Rowan had come back, smiling at her. “Ready?”

Aelin nodded. “Ready.”

~~~~~

Rowan tried, but he couldn’t really help it. Maybe it had been a mistake to ask if he could bring Aelin along, because it turned out he couldn’t pull his attention away from her. He hadn’t been lying when he said she looked good in what she was wearing. If anything, it had been an understatement. The dress she wore was basically a long knitted shirt, hugging her curves softly and in his favourite shade of emerald green. The low V of the neck was modest enough, but just a glimpse of collarbone and neck and he was already gone. Then Aelin went and made it all the worse when she had bent over to put the present under the tree, making sure to catch his eye first. The shirt gaped a little revealing a glimpse of bright red lace. Rowan had swallowed before his eyes darted back up to hers, and she gave him a wink. Gods, this woman would be the death of him.

When Rowan had asked if he could bring Aelin along almost everyone had been on board. The twins had agreed straight away, Vaughan hadn’t cared either way, Gavriel hadn’t minded at all even though their relationship was still a bit odd over him being the estranged father of her cousin. Lorcan had been the one to oppose it. He and Aelin didn’t get along and he reminded everyone that it was a celebration for the team. Fenrys had called him a miserable bastard and told him it was his home and he could invite who he wanted. But Rowan had to admit that Lorcan at least had a bit of a point, Rowan wasn’t paying attention to any of them but her.

Right now she was perched in his lap, Connall gathering the presents together and reading out Lorcan’s name before passing him the present. Rowan was twirling a strand of golden hair around a finger while Aelin chatted to Vaughan, knowing he should watch for Lorcan’s reaction. But as he brushed her hair away from her neck, running his finger along her collarbone, Aelin’s body shivered. He was contemplating if he could get away with kissing her neck when he heard Lorcan say, “This isn’t for me.”

Rowan’s head snapped up, confused at Lorcan’s words. Then he saw what exactly sat in Lorcan’s lap.

“What do you mean it’s not for you?” Fenrys scoffed. “It was addressed to you from Rowan.”

Lorcan only said again, “It’s not for me.”

Rowan felt sick, trying to figure out how this had happened. The presents had been on the table, both wrapped in the same brown paper but clearly labelled, one for his girlfriend and one for Lorcan. Aelin had picked it up… and somehow she must have mixed the cards and now Lorcan had Aelin’s present, looking as if it had burned him. Confused by it all Gavriel peeked over and Rowan just wanted to die right then and there.

“I’m getting another drink,” was Gavriel’s only explanation as he got up and headed to the kitchen, obviously having no desire at all to see how this panned out.

Rowan looked at Lorcan, silently begging him not to make this worse. Lorcan was looking at him like he was just simply asking why, why him?

Aelin’s interest had been piqued. “It’s not very nice to refuse a gift, Lorcan.”

Lorcan just said drily, “I don’t think it’s my size.”

Aelin turned to Rowan, her expression confused. Then she took in Rowan’s panic stricken face and put all the pieces together. “Oh.”

He had been hinting at getting her something particularly risqué for Yulemas, he just never in his wildest imagining thought it would end up in the lap of his boss. “Full stop, I would walk into a burning building right now and not come out,” Rowan admitted.

Then Aelin started grinning, and Rowan knew it was moments before she lost it completely and started laughing. Already her shoulders were starting to shake.

The curiosity was too much for Fenrys and he snatched the box from Lorcan’s lap before Rowan could stop him. He opened the box, his eyes going wide. “Well, this is unexpected.”

Rowan couldn’t stand it anymore, he shifted Aelin off his lap onto the arm of the chair and reached over to grab the gift from Fenrys, but all he succeeded in doing was knocking it out of his hands. Scraps of gold lace landed on the floor. It was Vaughan who poked at it, lifting it with the end of a discarded spoon, just demonstrating how little fabric that was actually there.

Aelin broke, cackling so hard she had to sit on the floor before she fell off her precarious perch. Fenrys joined in, as did the others, all except Lorcan who just looked thoroughly disgusted.

“I don’t need to know what she wears under her clothes,” Lorcan said.

That only succeeded in setting Aelin and Fenrys off again. Both of them lying on the floor, Fenrys holding his stomach as Aelin wiped away tears. Rowan couldn’t handle it anymore, and face burning he picked up the items and put them back in the box then stood awkwardly not knowing what to do with them now. He stepped over a laughing Fenrys as he finally tried to get his breath back, and went to the dining table and stuffed it in Aelin’s bag. Returning to the living room wasn’t an option now, especially when a new raucous round of laughter started. Instead he went to the kitchen where Gavriel had a drink waiting for him.

That was where Aelin eventually found him, sitting on a stool nursing a drink. She pulled the other stool right up next to his so she could lean her chin on his shoulder when she sat down. Rowan took a sip before looking at her, those turquoise eyes still dancing with mischief. He just groaned and looked away.

“Rowan,” Aelin said and kissed his jaw. “Come on, it’s very funny.”

Rowan made a noncommittal sound that made Aelin giggle.

“You’ve still got your present to open, and Vaughan double checked it. It’s definitely not lingerie,” Aelin said, very desperately trying to keep a straight face. It didn’t work, within seconds she was beaming at him, then tucking her bottom lip under her teeth. Rowan turned away again but Aelin stood, making him spin around to face her. She stepped between his legs, arms loping around his neck. “Come on. After presents we can go home and I can put on whatever you stuffed in my handbag and you can unwrap me.”

“That does sound nice,” Rowan admitted, kissing her once.

“It does, doesn’t it,” Aelin agreed.

“Are you upset about having your Yulemas present spoiled?” Rowan asked as he stood.

Aelin shook her head. “Not at all. It just means now you have to buy me something else.”

Aelin grinned at him, and Rowan grinned right back. He already had a few ideas, things he would make sure they opened alone, the tag with Aelin’s name on it stuck down with as much sticky tape it could handle.

i’m obsessed with joel farabee and morgan frost and you should be too: a primer

hello! welcome! recently i have become infatuated with morgan frost and joel farabee for a lot of reasons but mostly because of that one post that i spent like twenty minutes searching various blogs for that said “people are freaking out about sexualising hockey players, meanwhile joel farabee is one instagram comment away from telling morgan frost he’d suck him dry.” in my head rent free. hit a girl up if you have the post.

anyway! frosty and beezy:

[hard cut to me whispering “oh my god even their nUMBERS are friends” i’m fine.]

this is more like about vibes and less about facts, so you can google if you want to know more about their, like, bios and stats and stuff that’s not 99% rpf or conjecture. this primer is just the things that make me scream. however, that being said, they do play well on a line together and both are very good players.

joel farabee is american, from new york i believe but his dad is from philly, and falls neatly into the category of BORN TO BE A FLYER. longtime fan, hugely excited to play for the team, brings it up all the time.

morgan frost, from ontario canada, was not.

a real, actual tweet. he tweeted this with his WHOLE chest and then joined the flyers like three years later. i adore it. another real actual tweet i adore:

sweet, sweet joel. he misses his buddies :( no doubt including morgan because they are, by all appearances, obsessed with each other. i’m trying not to keep  using the word obsessed in this primer but it’s hard because they are. morgan’s a year older, a first round draft pick in 2017 and joel’s a first round pick in 2018, but they didn’t start playing together until 2019, i believe, because joel played for a college team in boston. side note: he also captained team usa and wore a number 28 in honour of claude giroux and i am absolutely not okay about it.

e! mo! tion! al! incidentally, frosty wears danny briere’s number when he plays for the flyers, which. take from that what you will. iykyk. their NUMBERS are FRIENDS. HERITAGE SOULMATES. joel’s been called up to play on the flyers (and did really well in the playoffs!) but we’re still waitin’ for morgan to come along too but the coaching staff hasn’t recognised the raw power of true love yet so.

at this point, you’re probably saying “sasha shut up about their fucking numbers and talk about why they’re obsessed with each other” but good news! i do not need to do that because the official flyers media has done that for me! (x) i’d recommend watching it because it’s a lot packed into a neat 100 seconds, but notable moments include the voice over saying “joel farabee and morgan frost have found that going at it together has its benefits” within the first thirty seconds. that is a real direct quote. i can’t believe it either. there’s also a lot of light homoerotic bonding over playing chel, them sitting across from each other  on their beds, the admission of being ROOMMATES (oh my god they were roommates), this shot of them sitting with their mouths wide open on either side of their dad,

and also joel wearing a hat with a canadian maple leaf on it, despite being from the the united states. wonder where he got that from. please watch the video.

when they’re not playing chel or, you know, going at it together, they’re being horny in each other’s instagram comments. there’s honestly.... so many of these that i can include but we’re just gonna go with my favourites.

when i say i think about this comment on a picture of morgan with isaac ratcliffe, a fellow flyers prospect on a daily basis, i mean it. i’ll be just doing my thing, minding my own business, and MORGAN MAKES ME VENMO HIM JUST TO TALK will pop into my head, completely uninvited. king shit for morgan to do and king shit for joel to admit on social media for the world to see, but joel admitting things he maybe shouldn’t is a running theme. 

cool. TOTALLY not flirting or anything.

joel. also both their exhibitionist streaks should be explored in fic more i am JUST sayin.

ok but bee you were lookin. like you can chirp but you were lookin, don’t lie. 

when ur in love with ur roommate but ur both hockey players so u can only communicate that love via chirping when he’s with the boys :(

what’s it called when you vibe really well with someone and also live with them and also comment on their shirtlessness and also maybe kiss them on the mouth a little? d... da... dating?? can’t be it.

morgan is a little more composed in the comments and mostly just posts inside jokes i cannot comprehend, or compliments. it’s still cute.

this was on a playoffs pic where joel’s wearing #28 love 2 see it love a supportive boyf always

this one was of joel with a fish he caught and i’m sorry but i did not want it on my phone.

but morgan can’t hide his affection for long. (me, in the distance: TWENTY EIGHT TWENTY EIGHT TWENTY EIGHT!!!!!!!)

there’s more comments but they’re boring and this is long, mostly joel chirping  morgan for wearing baseball or football stuff. however! they are also on twitter where they keep each other humble after incredible goals, like bros do,

this is DEFINITELY flirting. like, blatant. it’s like that kind of flirting when you’re thirteen and you don’t know what to do with your body so you just kinda steal your crush’s stuff or insult them because all attention is good attention, right??

but when push comes to shove, beezy is always gonna look out for his boy (because they are in love):

some important pictures of them together, for your pleasure: 

this is so DUMB and i love it

friends supporting friends!!!

this is them meeting their hockey dads :) so cute :) joel is promising g that he’ll have morgan back by ten yessir he will be respectful of boundaries and curfew. jake is high fiving morgan on getting some. this is facts i just call em like i see em.

and finally!

is this allowed?????  is this allowed???? it’s hard to tell but i’m pretty sure that’s joel on his knees for in front of morgan and i just??? how is that allowed???? it’s been five days and this picture has RUINED me. someone write me an essay to have on my desk by morning, stat.

also v unrelated but here is a video of morgan frost reading, proving he’s the smart one in the relationship. that’s not saying much but, hey! at least there’s proof he can read.

obviously different ships capture people in different ways but there’s something about them to me, personally, that is just so captivating. there’s a lot of potential for different fic vibes, and joel in particular always has a really fun voice to read (and also to write). they definitely have chemistry, they’re pitted against each other so there’s a good-natured rivalry going on, CLOTHES SHARING AND HERITAGE SOULMATE NUMBERS, and, like, they just genuinely seem to enjoy each other. someone PLEASE write more fic for them or by god i’ll have to do it myself.

ok that’s everything for now, i believe. they’re in love and don’t care who knows it and i’m obsessed. (however, i’m also obsessed with joel farabee and andrei svechnikov together, for which i have a one-picture argument for here.)

(p.s. anything not linked i screenshotted myself thank youuu for reading have a good day and remember: morgan makes joel vemno him just to talk 😌)

edit: hello. i wrote this on election night as a way to take off the edge of my nerves and it is not as funny or screechy as i wanted it to be so i’m going to add some now.  

[ashiemochi]

Hi Ashie! I got confused with your and Lyn😭 I wanted to ask you something about a post you've done. You sad you were wating for a laptop and that you would play RE6 and 4 on it. I was wondering, as my laptop is a little old and can't handle games, what brand and characteristics does yours have, if I may ask :3 thank you, and sending you a toon of hugs!!!!!!!😘

hi!! <33 i find it a bit funny that you confused with lynnie and I considering our very opposite themes ngl😭 but, since I don't understand LAPTOP NERD LANGUAGE myself, my brothers helped me around and picked one for me <3

laptop talk below the cut--

My current laptop is a ten-year-old Dell Inspiron 5520, it's not good for gaming like Resi games and it heats up pretty fast by just playing Minecraft 😭 so this type of laptop is not only outdated, but it's only suitable for desk/office work.

My options were an Acer Nitro Gaming Laptop and Asus ROG Strix Gaming Laptop

Here are their characteristics side by side <3

They're almost exactly the same, but ofc the Asus is better due to the hard disk size. Both run games very well (Including GTA V bc that game is one fat and heavy fucker-), you can look up how each run some games from light weight ones to heavy ones (I'm lookin at you GTA V). Meaning, both run Resi games very well and you can see leon's ass in HD <3

Here's games tested in Acer Nitro aaand Asus ROG

In terms of prices, Asus ROG is more expensive ($1,149.99) ((I mean, it glows super pretty and got tons of hard desk space)) but considering its characteristics and how well it runs, it's worth the price <3 It'll last you longer too! Acer Nitro is ($789.99) but I'd definitely recommend Asus ROG ngl sdjkfhsdj

In the end though, I didn't get either of em :') my brother went to buy the Asus ROG buuut it was out of stock </3 cries so he got me an Asus Vivobook 15 X571 (I couldn't find it on amazon 😭)

this chatty guy explains the whole thing better but basically, it's $1,226 and it practically is the same! This video is the same laptop after 3 weeks of daily use and it shows around how the laptop is in SIMPLE 'i don't understand tech language' <3 Personally, I wanted the Asus ROG bc yk, pretty keyboard lights but that's just my inner child loving colours :')

So, yeah! Those were the laptops that I've looked into <3 I hope I helped out a bit! I still don't understand laptops at all much but I'd say go for either Asus ROG or Asus Vivobook! Look for gaming laptops that are around $1,000 and above bc those are the ones that are better and last longer!

Another thrown suggestion is MSI Katana GF66 ($1,289.99 to $1,589.66 depending on the SSD thingie that I almost picked but didn't look too much into because they weren't found in my country </3

<3

~~~~~~~

The winter months had passed without any major incidents. No one died, but food was scarce and you were never able to stay in one place for more than a week. It got better as the months got warmer, but it was still rough.

 A few weeks had gone by before you and your brothers told the Greene family about the supernatural. It took a lot to convince them, but after a run in with a group of vampires, they believed you.

 You and Daryl had also gotten closer, and surprisingly, your slightly overprotective brothers didn’t have a huge problem with it. The two of you were good for each other, and they saw that. Daryl made you happy and that was something not a lot of people got these days.

 You had been on the road for a few days since the last house you stayed in was overrun. Lori looked like she was about to pop and you needed to find a place to stay. Going house to house or staying out the open wasn’t becoming an option anymore. So when you came across a prison while hunting with Daryl and Rick, you thought that this could be it.

 ---

 “We found a place,” Rick said when you got back to the group. “It’s a prison.”

 “A prison?” Carl asked.

 “Yeah. The fences held up and it looks good,” you said. “I think we should go for it. We also got some meat.”

 “We’d have to clear it out, but this could be it.”

 Everyone agreed, and piled into the cars. You sat with your brothers and daughter, as usual, and off you went. When you got there, Rick cut the fence while you helped fend off walkers as Sam held Adeline close. Once everyone was inside the fence, Daryl and Glenn tied it back together fast. Running along the path, you got to an open space.

 “It’s perfect,” Rick breathed as he looked at the prison yard. “If we can shut that gate and prevent more from getting into the yard, we can pick off these walkers.”

 “So how do we shut the gate?” Hershel asked.

 “I’ll do it. You guys cover me,” Glenn volunteered.

 “No,” Maggie said. “It’s a suicide run.”

 “I’m the fastest.”

 “No. You, Maggie, Beth, and T-Dog draw as many as you can over there. Pull them away from the middle of the yard and pop ‘em through the fence. Daryl, you and [y/n] get up in that tower there. Carol, you’ve gotten to be a pretty good shot, join them. Carl, Dean, and Hershel, you go in that tower. Sam, stay close to Lori and the kids down here. I’ll run for the gate.”

 “Be careful, Rick,” you said before running with Daryl and Carol to the tower. Adeline was still wrapped in Sam’s arms, her wide eyes watching as Lori opened the gate for Rick.

 Cautiously, you quickly made your way to the top. There were no walkers for you to take out and you were grateful for the small victory. Holding your rifle steady, you aimed the sights at the walkers in the yard. When the group on the ground attracted a fair bit, you opened fire. Carefully, you made every bullet count. You didn’t have a lot of ammo to spare and you knew it.

 The sound of gunfire filled the air, the sounds of bodies falling coming soon after. When Rick got to the gate, he kicked a walker out of the way and pulled it shut. You shot one that was sneaking up on him and when he managed to get into the third tower, you let out a sigh of relief.

 “He did it!” Carol said.

 “Light it up!” Daryl yelled to everyone.

 With a stupid grin on your face, you continued shooting down walkers until there were none left in the yard. Once they were all dead for good, you turned to Daryl and kissed him. His free arm went around your waist and you broke apart with a laugh. Carol was looking at the two of you fondly and walked down the tower stairs with a soft smile on her face.

 Once she was gone, Daryl pulled you closer to him. His lips met yours hungrily and you let out a small moan as his hand gripped your ass. You set your gun down and he set his crossbow down, pulling you closer to him now with both hands. There was no space between you and you could feel your body heating up. His touch was like fire and you couldn’t get enough of it. When he detached himself from your lips and started making his way down your neck, you keened.

 “D-Daryl,” you whimpered.

 “Yes?” He said, muffled slightly.

 “We’re out in the open. They could still see us.” Your voice cracked.

 “Don’t care. Need ta feel ya.”

 With that, he dug his fingers into your ass and you jolted, your belly hitting his hard cock. You moaned and Daryl hissed in pleasure. He hiked up your thigh, making it wrap around his waist. You rocked your hips up into him and he responded the same.

 “We-we should get back to the group. They’ll worry.” You didn’t want to stop, but you knew you had to.

 “Don’t wanna stop.”

 “How ‘bout this? We go back to the group and after they go to sleep, I’ll let you fuck me in this tower,” you purred into his ear.

 “Fuck,” Daryl groaned. His hips jerked forward at the thought of being able to properly fuck you for the first time in a while.

 “Sound good?”

 “Sounds perfect.” He kissed you hard once more and pulled himself away. You giggled as he adjusted his straining cock and he lifted an eyebrow at you.

 “What’s funny?”

 “Nothin’!” You said sweetly. Bending over to grab your gun, Daryl grabbed your clothed pussy and you moaned. Movements stuttering, you gave him a half-assed glare and he smirked cheekily.

 “What was that for?” You asked.

 “Nothin’,” he said.

 “Oh hush.” Daryl laughed and smacked your behind as you walked past him.

 “S’go, ‘fore your brothers throw a fit.”

 ---

 After you had taken the prison yard, you made a fire while some others went to get the cars. Everyone was in good spirits and you felt lighter than you had in months. Sitting on a blanket, your family beside you lighthearted, made it hard to wipe the smile off of your face. Daryl was watching the gate and Carol had brought him some food.

 Beth had started singing and you saw Daryl coming back, Carol in tow. Rick had come over too. Sitting down behind you, Daryl pulled you and Adeline into his lap and you snuggled close. Closing your eyes and listening to Beth’s and Maggie’s voices, you could feel yourself drifting off to sleep. When Daryl saw that, he gently jostled you awake.

 “Don’t forget your promise ta me,” he growled lowly in your ear. You shivered at the hunger in his voice and he pulled you closer.

 “Better all turn in,” Rick said. “I’ll take watch over there. Got a big day tomorrow.”

 “What do you mean?” You asked.

 “Look, I know we’re all exhausted. This was an amazing win. But we gotta push just a little more. Most of the walkers are dressed as guards and prisoners. There’s no civilians.”

 “That would mean that the whole prison is secure,” you said.

 “Exactly. It could also mean that the supplies may be intact. Food, medicine.”

 “Weapons?” Daryl asked.

 “That would be outside the prison itself, but no too far away. Wardens office would have the details. This place could be a gold mine.”

 “We’re dangerously low on ammo,” Hershel said. “We’d run out before we made a dent.”

 “That’s why we have to go in there. Hand to hand,” Rick said. “After all we’ve been through, I know we can handle it. These assholes don’t stand a chance.”

 You let out a small laugh and so did Carl. When Rick walked to the tower, Lori followed him. Daryl patted your thigh and you got up, setting a sleeping Adeline next to Sophia on your blanket.

 “We’re gonna go to the other tower to keep watch. You can only see so much from the one,” you said. Turning to Carol, you said, “Watch Adeline for me?”

 “Alright. Have fun,” Carol said, wiggling her eyebrows.

 “Not too much fun,” Dean muttered. Sam hit him in the side and Dean winced before waving his hand.

 Daryl scoffed and pulled you by the hand. The walk to the tower was quiet, and you swung your intertwined hands. Once you had climbed the stairs and stepped into the small room, Daryl pushed you up against the door. His hands practically tore your shirt off of your body, your bra going next.

 “Haven’t seen these perfect tits in too long,” Daryl groaned. He palmed at your chest and you keened, pushing yourself into him. You pulled him in for a kiss, running your hands up his shirt. He tugged his shirt over his head and threw it in the corner of the room before lifting you up onto the desk. Trailing his lips down your neck and onto your stomach, you whined at the soft touches.

 He got to the waistband of your jeans and used his teeth to pry open the button and pull down the zipper. Once you were completely naked, he hungrily looked you over. His gaze was hot and even though he had seen you naked before, it still made you a little embarrassed.

 “Can’t believe you’re all mine,” he growled.

 Hurriedly taking his own pants off, he closed the gap between the two of you once again. He rutted into you gently, hands caressing every inch of your body. Your head thrown back, Daryl drank in the sight of you.

 “What do ya want, babygirl?” He asked you.

 “Want you,” you moaned.

 “Me? What part of me?”

 “Want your cock!”

 Daryl smirked at those words and pressed himself closer to you. You cried out at his touch and he took pity on you, lining up his cock and pushing it into you. Letting out a high pitched moan, you scrambled to hold onto Daryl as he set a brutal pace. You knew that neither one of you was going to last long, it had been a couple months since you had last been with each other.

 Grabbing his face, you pulled him into a searing kiss. Tongues intertwining, chests heaving, you hit your peak once Daryl started rubbing your clit. You clenched harshly around him and he came inside you a few seconds later. Trying to catch your breath, you moaned when Daryl started mouthing at your neck, hands running up your side. He started moving his hips again and your breath hitched.

 “Got another one in there for me?”

 ---

 The next day started early. Dean, Daryl, Rick, Glenn, Maggie, and T-Dog were going to clear out some of the prison. After they got armed and ready, you kissed your brother’s cheek.

 “Stay safe,” you said.

 “I will.” Dean gave Adeline a kiss and nodded to Sam before walking away with the others. You watched them start to take out the walkers and bit your lip in worry.

Tales from the smp thoughts and random quotes I enjoy (essentially delayed live blogging) Part 1

I love all these npcs already

“Hurry up camera man!”

Yes! Gladiators! I remember seeing someone say that idea

Just some joes

Porkeous the 7th. Oh no I can see the fan girls now.

Yes! Punch em off!!

“Yeah same.”

“That’s good cause I don’t” “we build a new colosseum every time”

I can’t want to see the names of everyone’s characters. Especially Philz’

Stairs everyone’s worst enemy

Tubbo... sweet child

She disappeared!! Witch craft! Burn the witch!

Tubbo=Jacky (forced off streets)

Fundy=Laggius Maximus (I love this name so much with the spinning)

Please don’t kill both the boys in this fight. But also I’m cheating for Laggius.

Subbin Empire? Subbin to Technoblade!

Go Laggius! This is not going to go well... this is really not going to go well...

No I refuse to root for Jacky. I like Laggius the bit will be funnier later.

I want to know what happened to the last camera guy! Let us know!

Vertical feeling! Heaven forbid! Also look at them insulting TikTok

I love the background music. Feels magical.

A lovely jump

Surprises... well that’s ominous. And wait the first one!

Tower! Towers are always good.

We got our popcorn. Ready to watch this fight.

Laggius is... coming... maybe...

GG Jacky... he hasn’t won yet but gg.

Lava!!!! Hooray! Love us some good lava

Poor Laggius... he was burning too early

And Laggius is still lagging

Why isn’t Jacky burning?? He won???

No one dies. Just take them to nurse joy.

Poor Punz being so bullied

Ranboo = Ran

Just Ran and it’s just the enderman part of the skin. Haha. Very funny.

BBH = Edward

He went from strange voice to normal(ish) voice

I’m 2/4 for choosing the winner.

I hope ugly keeps on winning

“Colosseum Remote Control”

3 in 1 battle how did they not plan correctly for an even number

Nerds hold cameras you heard it here folks

I don’t want to hear deeper for some of these stories. All I want to see is Genevieves further story. She seems deep.

“Massive pigs growling at us. No offense”

Watson trying to clean the table.

We bringing in the Harmonika.

Harmonika fits the moment.

Yes name him handsome! Haha

Grievous is how I’m spelling that stupid sounding name. But it’s better than John and ugly.

I can’t get over the name Ran.

BE GONE LEVI!

I love Watson having to take care of Bartholomew. Translating for him and waking him up.

Phil just can’t resist playing the dad.

No no stopping just fighting.

Genevieve sounds like such a lovely lady and she deserves to win.

As much as I love Grevious I want Genevieve to win.

Sapnap=Grevious good gracious this is hard to follow.

That was a longer fight. But pretty good.

All the grass in the cage.

And Laggius being his slow self.

Nothing v. General

I love how it went from King to Emperor to King

And there is Laggius.

I don’t know how anyone else is spelling Laggius but I like this way and refuse to edit it if it actually spelled different.

Oh we’re getting more ads.

1/3 let’s go

[colorseeingchick]

hi!! Recent follower here and congrats on the milestone! Can I have a matchup with an HQ boy? I'm 23 and use she/her pronouns.

Personality-wise, I seem social and friendly but I'm pretty introverted and prefer spending most of my time at home. I'm kind of a perfectionist and usually stick to a routine (like I naturally get up early at the same time every morning etc). I'm v laid-back and am a bit apathetic. I look cutesy and apparently give off a sweetiepie vibe but also I’m quite blunt and logic oriented. I avoid being negative even if I'm super stressed out because I hate having ~bad vibes~. I grew up with geniuses/naturally skilled family and friends and I try my best to match that. I'm low-energy and usually drink an energy drink a day. My hobbies are running, playing sports (volleyball/soccer rn), and going dancing. I have a sweet tooth and love chocolate cake and macarons. Fun fact is that I look up trivia about a movie/show after I watch it.

Congrats again and tyyy <3

So when I read your request, I was half asleep, but I remember distinctly knowing right away who I was gonna match you with. I match you with…

Miya Osamu!

You and Osamu would be a couple that supports each other endlessly. That’s the whole premise of your relationship. Osamu is an amazing chef and an amazing businessman. You being his girlfriend to support him just happens to make him a better man in the process.

You’d meet Osamu at Onigiri Miya because it happened to be located next to your favorite bakery (that had the BEST macarons you swore by it), and you stopped in one day to pick up some Onigiri. When he saw you he definitely thought you were cute, and he gave you an extra onigiri as incentive to come back (both because it’s a good business tactic and also because he’d like to see you around again). But he was lucky because he ended up running into you a couple more times at random places. He once saw you when you were on a morning run (he also likes to get in a light workout sometimes before opening shop) and he waved to you- he didn’t think he knew you well enough to start up a conversation. He was happy when you smiled and waved back. He saw you at the shop a couple more times throughout the month and asked for macaron recommendations, which you happily gave him. But it was when he ran into you at a bar, watching you go all out on the dancefloor (on the occasion you decided to leave the comfort of your home), that he decided he definitely had to make a move. He came up to you (slightly tipsy- he needed the courage) and asked if you would like to go on a date with him. And who could turn down the handsome owner of Onigiri Miya?

I think once you two went on a couple of dates and started to get to know each other, he realized just how much he actually liked you. Your personalities and lifestyles were really compatible. Though he had the ability to socialize, he also preferred more time at home, and he was glad you shared that sentiment with him. He himself also hits that balance of laid-back but routine-oriented, and he was happy he found someone who shared that with him. Running a business required him to keep a schedule and be on the grind, and having a girlfriend who also had a routine made his life a lottt easier (it gave him motivation).

This man is absolutely obsessed with your vibes btw. Like I said before, he always thought you were cute. But when he learned that you had a chill, blunt personality to compliment your cutesy appearance he fell hard. I just know this man would keep his fridge stocked with energy drinks for you because he needs em as well. You were never one to give into Atsumu’s whining when the three of you hung out (this just amused Samu to not end), and the blunt, logical solutions you provided always helped him with business and personal problems. The fact that you didn’t like negative vibes and tried to stay positive had helped him on many occasions, and I know that he’d fix whatever problem with your help and then show his appreciation in whatever way you want as a thank you.

My favorite part of your relationship though would be the way you guys really understood each other. Osamu, being twins with Atsumu, is also used to having a volleyball ‘genius,’ (moreso a perfectionist) in close proximity. He’d constantly be compared to Atsumu especially after he went pro. Even during their high school time, there were times when Osamu started to care less about volleyball than Tsumu, and he got pressured for that. So knowing that you came from a similar situation, and that you had gone through similar things made him feel really connected to you.

Overall you’d be Osamu’s angel of a girlfriend, and he’d literally praise you at any given opportunity. Whatever type of affection you’re willing to accept he is willing to give, even if it is just chocolate cake he brought home he got on his way back from work.

~~~

I hope you enjoyed!!! Please let me know if you did :) you seem so fun! I'm also a big macaron fan hehe.

the garden (c.h)

Summary: the reader is the princess that prince calum has been promised at birth to be married to when of age. you then actually start to fall in love without knowing it.

——————————————————————————

every royal has a thing that helps them to escape even if it’s just for a moment. being a princess yourself, you know that things aren’t always the best when it comes to your royalty duties. your escape was the garden that your family has. you loved reading your books surrounded by gorgeous flowers and under the sun or even moonlight. it was the fact that nobody ever bothered you and you liked that.

“y/n, you know now that you’re of age it’s time for you to be queen and run a kingdom with prince calum,” your mother spoke as she stood behind you and brushed your hair. you nodded and gave her a tight lipped smile.

“yes mother, i know. but must it be necessary for me to move away from my home? can’t he just move here?” you were sort of in distress knowing that you have to leave pretty much everything and having it all go to your older brother.

your mother sighed and stopped brushing your hair to lay her hands on your shoulder. “no it does not work like that. you know this kingdom is already promised to your brother. stop asking such silly questions, you are to be queen with prince calum and rule over his kingdom with him. now please get ready to pack up for the trip in 3 days,” she puts your brush down and walks out of your room without another word.

your lady in waiting emma, knocks on your door before walking in. to you, she wasn’t just your lady in waiting but your best friend that you could always seek comfort in. you guys were never so formal around each other which was definitely a plus.

“hey y/n, what do you think you want to pack?” she knows not to push you but she always knows your mother would be pissed off if you guys didn’t start packing. you looked at her and shrugged your shoulders as your eyes started to water.

“oh honey come here,” she held her arms out for you to hug her. you embrace her and let your tears go. you found it unfair that you’re suppose to be married to someone you didn’t even know. that you didn’t even love. “it’s okay, i promise i’m going to be right with you. even though i don’t have much of a choice,” you let out a small hearty laugh at her attempt to make you smile which was working.

the moment your brother walked into your room was the exact moment everything felt even worse. “would you stop being a fucking crybaby? it’s not that serious really. so glad you’re not going to be around here anymore,” his shoulders shook with laughter.

“get out right now. leave me alone, i’m not in the mood to deal with your shit mason,” you stood up, pushed him out of the door and slammed it in his face before he got a chance to say anything else. you and mason used to be close as children but that changed when he found out he was to be ruler of the kingdom. you often wondered how things would be different if he wasn’t an ass to you.

—

in three days, your mother and father made sure you were ready to be with your fiancé. the goodbye was hard as it was because you had your last few moments in your garden just siting on the grass. it was crazy how your parents didn’t want to come with you. it felt like they were happy you were going away.

you and emma arrived at the castle in just a few hours. you could feel your breathing almost come to a stop but emma grabbed your hand and squeezed it to let you know you certainly wasn’t alone. someone was there to open the carriage door and helps you both out of the carriage. the queen, king and of course prince was right there to greet you guys at the castle entrance.

“it is an honor to meet you all,” you curtsied because it was what a princess should do. the queen mirrored your act while both the king and prince bowed. “the pleasure is all ours princess y/n. where might your parents be?” you felt slightly embarrassed by the king’s question.

“they did not feel it was necessary to come with me. as they are also getting ready to help my brother rule our kingdom. but this is my lady in waiting emma,” you introduced emma to the three. they nodded and greeted her as well.

“my son will be showing you both to your sleeping quarters. isn’t that right calum,” his mother turned to look at him. “yes, right this way ladies,” you and emma followed calum through the castle. he stops at where your room was at and was quick to turn to you.

“look i don’t really give a fuck about this but for the sake of my parents i’m trying. so please, just stay the hell away when possible. i don’t need to deal with a stuck up princess like you,” with that he walked away. he didn’t even know you but was quick to assume your character. it was something you didn’t look forward too.

you walked into the beautiful room decorated with all kinds of paintings on the wall with the gold ascent trimming. “yikes, i thought he was going to be nicer,” you looked at emma with a blank look.

“em he’s such an asshole! i am not a ‘stuck up princess’ hell i don’t even really want to marry him,” emma laughs at your huffing and pacing. “em this is not a laughing matter, can’t you see i’m ranting here!” you wave your arm dramatically and flop on your bed.

a knock on the door made you pause before saying a quick come in. to your surprise the queen was there in front of you. “y/n there is to be a ball tonight to celebrate you and calum coming together. but don’t worry about a dress, i had the tailors make you some dresses in different colors. i need you and calum to go work out what you guys want to wear,” with a single nod of your head, you followed her to where the prince was.

“there’s the beautiful princess! nice to meet you, i’m olivia and i’ll be helping you and calum pick out your outfits,” you smiled brightly at her feeling welcomed by her presence.

you ran your hands against the dresses with the various colors and styles. “what color were you thinking calum?” he looked over not only the suits but the dresses too. he couldn’t help but to think about how you’d look beautiful in any of the dresses. “calum?” you questioned him seeing as he was in some sort of daze.

“i think the emerald green looks great but i’m okay with anything if that’s not what you want,” he looked over at you as you pulled the green dress to view it. it was a gorgeous satin that had spaghetti straps with a slight v-neck and a high side slit. “i love it! olivia this dress is so beautiful. thank you so much,” you hugged the girl overly happy to wear the dress.

“great choice, you’re gonna look stunning! i’ll make sure of it,” she patted your back and ushered you to start getting ready.

—

calum hadn’t seen you since picking out the suit and dress but he was nervous. he felt bad that he judged you without really getting to know you. he was dressed in black slacks, an emerald green satin button up paired with black red bottom shoes. leaving at least three buttons open like he always.

the ball was in full swing and it just a matter of time before they announced you to everyone. to say you were nervous was an understatement. the only person you knew was emma and even she wasn’t going to around you for the entirety. you had to be with calum for basically the whole night. you wished you were in your garden, at least then you’d have calmed nerves.

“now announcing princess y/n,” you give a shy smile and wave as you walked down the stairs to meet calum. his eyes widened looking at you in your full beauty. your hair layed flat over your shoulders. light green makeup on your eyelids with your clear lip gloss. you could the applause from everyone in the room who was dying to see you and calum together. your hand meets his and he helps you down the last two steps. everyone goes back into their own conversations and you let calum guide you wherever.

he leans to your ear and you could feel his breath on the back of your neck. “you look absolutely gorgeous princess,” you give a tight smile.

“you don’t look too bad yourself asshole. yeah, i didn’t forget how you were rude to me earlier,” he stops the two of you from walk. “i’m sorry about that, it was way out of line to do that. i hope you can forgive me?” you nodded.

“yeah, i guess could. but i get to have your dessert tonight,” you pointed your finger at him jokingly. he lets out a small chuckle. “that’s a shame, i was hoping to have you for dessert,” you hit his arm and he wraps his around your waist to bring you over to his friends.

“y/n these are my friends michael, ashton, and luke. guys this is y/n” you immediately pulled ashton in for a hug being excited that you haven’t seen him since the winter ball your parents threw.

“how are you doing ash? i missed you,” you let go of his shoulders and smiled. “doing good y/n, it’s great to see you again. you look beautiful,” the other boys stood there and looked at each other confused. calum felt sort of upset but it wasn’t really his place to be upset in any way.

“we met at the winter ball two years ago that my parent threw. just haven’t been able to be in contact with him. plus, ash you didn’t tell me you knew calum,” you turned to the black haired boy. “and somehow that’s my fault i didn’t know calum was going to marry you,” you both laughed it off still leaving the other boys standing there awkwardly.

“well boys i’m off to catch a drink and be with em,” you waved and walked away. they make sure you’re completely out of earshot before talking about you.

“dude, you’re so lucky! she’s known to be one of nicest princesses ever and you get to marry her,” luke brought his eyes over to calum. “guys she’s really is pretty and i still feel bad i was a dick to her when we first met,” calum was embarrassed to even say. he doesn’t know you at all but yet had the audacity to judge you. you could’ve did the same thing assuming he was one of those princes that do whatever they pleased and whoever they pleased.

“i don’t know man but don’t let her slip through your fingers. she’s better than any of these other empty headed princess,” michael patted his shoulder.

—

in the last couple months you and calum have been closer. you rode horses together, watched tv, ate dinner with just the two of you and even chased each other around the castle. his mother and father where delighted to see your relationship bloom. you were excited to see that they did in fact have a garden. you arose early in the morning with your silk pajamas brushed your teeth, put your hair in a ponytail, grabbed a book you were currently reading and head down to the garden. nobody saw you which was perfect for you.

you take a seat on the grass with your back against the bench and start reading your book. the sun barely out and it was a breath of fresh air.

“hey em, do you know where y/n is? i haven’t seen her all morning and it’s lunchtime now,” emma shook her head at calum. “do you have a garden? if so, check there first! she loves being able to distant herself for a while,” he thanked her and went to the garden. there he found you sleeping on the grass in your pajamas and your book in hand. he felt his chest retract looking at you. still as gorgeous as ever.

“hey doll, it’s time to wake up,” he shook you to wake you up. you mumbled a no and turned over making calum chuckle before he gently grabbed you into his arms to carry you. “cal, leave me be please,” you whined really just wanting to go back to sleep.

“it’s lunchtime, you have to eat something then we can go back to sleep,” he stopped walking letting you fully open your eyes. “okay fine but does this mean we get to cuddle?” he smiled and nodded before putting you down.

“anything for you babe,” he kissed your temple and grabbed your free hand to walk back inside. you had gotten used to him calling you all sorts of pet names and you loved it. you guys weren’t really together, promised at birth or not. calum’s mother wanted you to be comfortable and if it wasn’t with her son, she was okay with it. she loved seeing you two together and she noticed the change between you.

“last one there is a rotten egg,” you take off sprinting to the dinning room dropping your book on the ground. calum was too quick for you and caught up with you in last then a minute. he scooped you up into his arms from behind making you squeal. “gotcha princess, you’re too slow for me,” he presses kisses all over your cheek and neck.

“cal stop that tickles,” you try pushing him away but much to your dismay it didn’t work. “should’ve never told me, now i shall never stop,” playfully he continues which makes the pair of you laugh even more.

-

it was december when your mother and brother came to visit. the holiday season was your favorite because of all the christmas lights and the winter air. you and calum were hosting a children’s event where you guys gave toys to all the children in the land. as you were handing gifts to all the kids you noticed a little girl who seemed to be shy and stood in the very back. you grabbed a couple of gifts for her that you thought she’d like and mumbled to calum that you’d be right back. he watched as you walked away and his heart swooned seeing you bend down to the girls height.

“and what’s your name sweet girl? i hope you don’t mind but i brought some gifts for you,” you whispered not wanting to really frighten her. “my name’s aaliyah and i’m six years old,” she waved a little at you.

“well it’s a pleasure to meet you aaliyah, i’m y/n and is it okay if we open your gifts together,” she nodded and you sat down place her in your lap. you didn’t mind the fact that your dress was on the ground, what mattered was making sure the girl knew she mattered and was loved.

it didn’t take long for you two to start laughing with each other and playing with her dolls. “i like your tiara ! it looks pretty on you,” she was now facing you and placed her hands on it.

“yeah? i think it’d look even better on you,” you gently take the tiara off and placed it on her head making her smile. “see you look gorgeous! now you’re a princess just like me,” she wraps arms around your neck and hugs you. calum catches your eyes and in that moment he just knew he was in love with you.

the event was long over and you had actually given aaliyah your tiara. you’re mother scolded you for it but you waved her off. clearly not caring you were now one tiara short over the many more you had in the closet.

“so y/n, i see you’re less bitchy which is great because now you’re not so uptight. did calum fuck the attitude out of you?” the way mason spoke to you made you livid. he doesn’t even act like your brother anymore just some arrogant piece of shit. before anyone knew it, you raised your hand and slapped him.

“you have some kind of fucking nerve. stop talking to me like i’m a doormat to be walked over. i’ve had enough of you-“ your mother was quick to cut you off with a stop. you were now even more angry, “no fuck that and fuck you. you never stand up for me when clearly that son of a bitch starts with me. i dont care anymore because this is the last straw. mason keep my name out of your fucking mouth or so help me i will not hesitate to stab you myself. now goodbye,” you hastily make it out of the room leaving everyone stunned.

calum clears his throat before mumbling a quick i should go check on her. the silence was nerve racking for everyone. no one knew what to say after your outburst but it was long overdue. he knew where to find you, the only place you go to escape. the garden.

you layed on the bench with your hand leaning down to run your finger tips on the grass. calum just walked over picking your legs up gently and sitting down, putting your legs in his lap. “are you okay love?” he rubbed small circle like patterns on your leg waiting for you to talk or not that was perfectly fine for him. you sat up and shook your head.

“no, hold me?” he didn’t hesitate to wrap his arms around you holding you tightly. he felt like it was the right time to tell you how he felt but was scared of how you would react. “y/n, i’m in love with you. i have been for quite some time now i guess but tonight seeing how you interacted with aaliyah made me realize just how much i love you. i love your confidence, selflessness, and bubbly personality. i love the way you smile when you do things you love like come to the garden to read a book. just everything about you makes my heart happy. you don’t have to tell me anything because i know it’s weird timing to confess my love for you but i couldn’t go on another day without telling you how i feel,” you could feel your eyes watering as you removed yourself from his arms to face him fully.

“calum thomas hood i love you more than you ever know. though you were a bit of an asshole at first but it’s okay because your my asshole,” you paused for a second. “wait that didn’t sound right,” he chuckled and wiped away the single tear that fell to your face.

“that’s alright i know what you meant silly girl,” both hands now on your face, he kissed you and gladly you returned it. it wasn’t rushed or fast but the perfect slow kiss. you were the first one to pull for air placing your forehead on his.

“hey,” you humed in reply simply enjoying the moment. “i love you,” he smiled even harder. “hm turns out i love you just as much,” calum pulls you into a hug and keeps you there. you weren’t stressed about anything that happened just minutes. you didn’t care anymore, the love of your life was holding you in the very place you loved to be in the most.

My Top 10 Albums of 2020

Ok, it's nearly February. Let's do this.

Revisiting the 2019 list, I'm struck by how my taste hasn't really changed. All of those albums are still in my regular rotation. This might be the first time that's been true year over year. The only one that has sorta fallen off is My Finest Work Yet but that's just because it's up against Andrew Bird's entire oeuvre.

Runners up: - Fleet Foxes - "Shore" (I got into Fleet Foxes pretty heavily in the Fall when this came out, but I found myself gravitating to their older albums. It's hard to disentangle that) - Caribou - "Suddenly" (It's good) - The Avalanches - "We Will Always Love You" (Also good) - Four Tet - "Sixteen Oceans" (Yes, good)

The pre-2020 albums that should've ranked:

Sharon Van Etten - "Tramp" (2012)

Sharon Van Etten - "Are We There" (2014)

Sharon Van Etten - "Remind Me Tomorrow" (2019)

🙃

10. Fiona Apple – Fetch The Bolt Cutters

I didn't listen to Fetch The Bolt Cutters many times, but it was one of my most memorable listens of the year: I took a day off of work for the first time since COVID protocols began, and I went on a long walk around Pittsburgh with FTBC in my ears. It's hard for anything to live up to a Pitchfork 10/10, but for one afternoon, at least, I agreed.

9. Sylvan Esso – WITH

A live album? But Sylvan Esso dropped a new new album this year. And wait, I've never even had any Sylvan Esson on my year-end lists before!

I miss live music so much. I didn't know that I would, though. Lately I've found myself (like many 30-somethings, probably) having a little bit less fun at concerts than I used to. They're too loud and you have to stand still for too long if you want to have a good view of the stage, and people don't dance as much as you wish they did, etc. etc. The last show I went to was Big Thief at The Fillmore in late November 2019. I stood up front like I used to (sore legs and all), but thank god I did.

WITH is not just a live album but a concert film. They formed a band of their musical friends and performed as a large group rather than as a duo, and the result is, surprisingly, my favorite Sylvan Esso album.

Ugh, and the crowd singing on "Coffee," "my baby does the hanky panky... my baby doessss..."

8. Perfume Genius – Set My Heart On Fire Immediately

This is yet another spectacular entry into the Pefume Genius catalog. Shrug emoji.

7. Taylor Swift – folklore / evermore

CHEATER ALERT! Two albums for the price of one! If I had to pick one of these to keep on a desert island, I'd probably pick evermore. It might be recency bias, but Taylor sounds like she's having more fun on that one. Regardless, Taylor delivered on (a) making TikTok go absolutely bananas trying to decipher hidden messages and (b) giving us the ultramainstream National(Dessner)-produced pop we didn't know we needed.

6. Charli XCX – how i'm feeling now

This album was a perfect palate cleanser to 2019's underwhelming-to-me Charli. She managed to capture the essence of being in COVID lockdown without losing sight of what makes her Charli XCX (i.e., all caps EARWORMS).

5. Adrianne Lenker – songs / instrumentals

CHEATER ALERT PT. 2! I talked a lot about Big Thief on my list last year because of their double whammy of U.F.O.F. and Two Hands (for which I did not, mind you, cheat). Adrianne's 2020 albums were released on the same day, so they're basically one album (right?). Adrianne spent some time with a binaural mic in a cabin in Western Massachusetts and recorded - complete with diagetic birds and windchimes - the most intimate indie rock/folk album I can recall. That entire sentence is Steve catnip.

4. Waxahatchee – Saint Cloud

I had a big Waxahatchee phase in 2018, so I was looking forward to 2020's Saint Cloud, especially after seeing glowing reviews. But I bounced off of it hard after a couple listens.

Sheep that I am, I decided to give it another shot when it started showing up at the top of end-of-year lists. And of course, I loved it.

3. Andy Schauf – The Neon Skyline

This is the only album on this list that I listened to pre-COVID. So there's something special here, for sure. It hooked me with its storytelling, which is smaller in scale than a lot of "story" music. But the smallness is key because it makes everything plausible. There are a bunch of "sad" albums on this list, but none of them wrecked me quite like this one.

2. HAIM – Women in Music Pt. III

Pt. III improves on the HAIM formula in every way. The choruses are catchier and the experimental bits are weirder. I think HAIM may have blown up this year if it weren't for gestures broadly. Not saying they aren't successful as is - but this is an album full of should-be festival hits.

1. Phoebe Bridgers – Punisher

Phoebe's Punisher arrived at the perfect time. Me and everyone on TikTok (at least the TikTok that I was algorithmed into) needed a sad album to lose ourselves in. A lot of these people didn't know Phoebe before this album. I'm jealous of their getting to discover this and Stranger In The Alps and boygenius (and BOCC, I guess) at the same time.

When I saw boygenius in 2018 (HOW was it that long ago?) I came away stunned by Lucy's performance and Julien's raw emotion (mirroring my thoughts from her captivating Outside Lands set in 2016(?!)). But I didn't know exactly what I thought about Phoebe.

I figured it out though! It was very obvious and I am very dumb for not realizing it until Punisher. Phoebe is a brilliant writer. She captures everything with a specificity that that simultaneously draws you into her brain and ejects you out into space.

So it wasn't just that we collectively wanted (needed) a good cry, it's that we were asking (begging) to be ejected from Earth completely, to return when everything was some facsimile of normal again. Phoebe delivered - not just with her patented ballads but with the hilariously uptempo "Kyoto" that asks us to dance alone in our apartments to I wanted to see the world / through your eyes until it happened / then I changed my mind. Yep, this was the perfect year for the equal parts earnest, funny, and sad 2nd Phoebe album.
