The DUFF by Kody Keplinger (2010)——————— I have always loved this book, but the movie fell so short and missed all the depth and the literal point. Anyway…now that I’m older, rereading I want more spiciness but in a *fluffy* way. So this is my attempt at their first time canon compliant to the book.

Please be so super nice thx

Somehow all of her clothes had ended up off and littering the floor of Wesley’s bedroom. He seemed to be taking her in, his eyes darting around her torso, between her legs.

“Have you had sex before?”, he asked, and it sounded almost gentle. She nodded.

That made him smile in that stupid sexy way and only this once would Bianca admit it turned her on.

“When you had sex before, did he touch you…”, his fingers dipped between her thighs, “here?”. This time I shook my head.

He nodded, and then pressed his palm to her inner left thigh and spread her out, while his right hand so softly touched and rubbed around. It felt nice, and sorta weird, and then it felt like a jolt up her spine and Wesley grinned in a wicked way.

He continued rubbing that spot and with his left hand, worked his finger into her, and then another.

She hadn’t felt like this with Jake, then it had just been quick, painful stretching and uncomfortable sex. But, Wesley opened her slowly, he teased her till it started to feel like she did when she made herself come in the bathtub.

“Oh, oh my, I think I’m gonna…”, she gasped.

“Fuck yeah”, Wesley was watching her wiggle now, chasing his hands.

“Wesley!”, she cried, shocked, and taking short, choppy breaths.

“That was a good one”, he chuckled but it didn’t seem like his normal dirty jokes, it was said with a bit of wonder.

Bianca was at a loss for words so she just pulled him in for a kiss. He grabbed the condom from beside them (the one from his pocket, which was so presumptuous but convenient).

He removed his hands, and immediately she felt him at the ready.

“You sure?”, he asked, and she looked into his eyes and he didn’t like cocky, he looked excited.

“Yes, Wesley. Come on!”, she snapped. He laughed pretty hard, and pressed into her body.

It was a bit uncomfortable at first, but this time, it didn’t last. It started to feel good, friction and slide.

Wesley was moving slowly, but Bianca was ready, she was reeling.

With effort and a shove, Bianca landed on top, with Wesley grasping her hips to slowly ease her down all the way. It was so good. It was everything she needed.

Bianca started to move with him by instinct and his guiding hands. Wesley’s face was something to behold, his eyebrows furrowed and his lips hanging open.

“That’s amazing, B”, he whispered and she decided to ignore him using her nickname. It was better than ‘Duffy’. She put in all her effort.

After another minute of frantic movement, Wesley’s eye started to roll around and his thrusts got more stuttered. Bianca knew what it meant, but she didn’t expect his hand to slide from her thigh to the spot that he’d found before and begin insistent little circles.

It happened fast, Bianca felt like she was flying as she came again, and Wesley wasn’t far behind, taking slow hard breaths with his eyes closed. She rolled off of him and watched him slowly open his eyes from a safe distance away.

“Wow”, he finally said, “I wasn’t expecting that”.

“Really don’t feel like starting shit with bisexuals” = “I don’t want to be corrected on bisexual erasure” and “annoying” = “standing up for ourselves”

Hello! :] I saw that you were wanting to get into DC and specifically stuff with Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy and while I’m definitely not an expert, heres some stand alone comics that you need little to no prior experience to fully understand, as well as a little summary (without spoilers ofc) from what I remember when I read them a bit ago :] (and like literally I think the only thing is, you might wanna just have generally heard about some characters before, which you most likely have) 

Harleen by Stjepan Šejić: pretty much the basic origin story for Harley, everyones gonna tell you to read this one lmao, Ivys not in this one a lot but the art style is pretty good i think, i honestly don’t remember all that much about it besides just thinking it was okay? gshshshsh but a pretty good read especially if you want to know what people, for the most part, generally, assume to be Harleys backstory :] 

Harley Quinn: Breaking Glass by Mariko Tamaki: this ones my absolute favorite, from what i remember, its a coming of age story about a 15 year old Harley being sent to Gotham City and her getting a found family of drag queens, its really good and Ivys in this one a lot as well!! The story is put together well, the art style is unique and interesting and overall I just really recommend this one :] 

Poison Ivy: Thorns by Kody Keplinger: this ones really good as well, I don’t think Harley was in this one but its a really good Ivy-centric story about her growing up and theres a very cute romance between her and a character named Alice :] (hopefully thats not too spoilery) and the art style is amazing as well I think! :]

Hopefully its okay that I’ve sent you all of this gshshshhs if not please just ignore! hope this was at least somewhat helpful :]

Oh and because these are stand alone comics, none of these are technically canon last I checked (DC canon changes so. so much lmao) but theyre still really good to understand the characters more and are a good jumping off point (or they were for me at least) :] 

OMG TYSM THIS IS REALLY HELPFUL!!!! i had absolutely no idea where to start so this will be good to use as reference YAYYYY
