Yandere poly volturi kings and female elf reader.

❝hidden away from preying eyes❞

✭ pairing : yandere demetri volturi x reader x yandere felix volturi

✭ fandom : twilight

✭ summary : demetri and felix have long since come across their mates and turns out they shared one, she was different from others, an elf her species were called, she was theirs, all theirs and they’d be damned if anyone came about her. No, that simply wouldn’t do at all. She didn’t need to be exposed to the brutality of the vampire world and that’ll be sure she’s kept a secret, their little secret

✭ authors note : thank you for the request but as posted on my last twilight fic I’ll be writing for other fandoms mostly instead of twilight, I’m not limited to just writing twilight seeing as how I write for various fandoms :)

The grand halls of the Volturi castle echoed with whispers of ancient power and authority as Demetri and Felix strode through them. Today was a rare day; they had been excused from their duties serving the kings. An off day. The prospect of freedom beckoned to them like a siren's call, and they intended to make the most of it.

As they exited the castle, the brilliant Italian sunlight warmed their skin. Demetri, ever the expert hunter with his tracking abilities, had something special in mind for their day of respite. "What ever shall we do now felix," he said, a mischievous glint in his dark eyes. "After all it is our off day."

Felix raised an intrigued eyebrow. "Our off day you say? Hmm, I take it you already know what I’m thinking.”

With Demetri's keen senses guiding them, they ventured beyond the city's edge and into the dense Italian forest. They followed the winding paths until they reached an unassuming spot near the base of a craggy hill.

"Ah, but of course I do," Demetri announced, his eyes narrowing as he focused. "Do you think the little ones hatched.”

Felix watched in fascination as Demetri's hand moved gracefully, tracing invisible lines in the air. Slowly, as if an invisible cloak were lifted, an entrance revealed itself. An underground cave system beckoned them.

They jumped down gracefully, landing with the ease of supernatural beings. "Anyone here?" Felix called out into the dimly lit cavern.

The echo of their voices faded, and there was a moment of silence. Then, as if materializing from thin air, a house appeared before them. It had been hidden by some form of illusion, but it was now fully exposed.

The door swung open, and a breathtaking elf woman emerged. (Y/N) was her name, and she was their mate. Her long, silvery hair cascaded like a waterfall down her back, and her ethereal beauty left Demetri and Felix momentarily breathless.

"I've missed you, my loves," she said, her voice like a melodious song. With grace and swiftness, she ran into their arms. One by one, she planted a passionate kiss on each of their lips.

Felix grinned, his golden eyes filled with affection. "We've missed you too, little fairy.”

And then came the chorus of little voices. From the house behind (Y/N), a group of hybrid vampire and elf children came running. Their laughter filled the cavern as they called out in excitement.

"Daddy! Papa!" they cried, their tiny arms outstretched.

Demetri and Felix knelt to embrace their children, their hearts overflowing with love. It was moments like these that made their relentless service to the Volturi worthwhile. Here, in this hidden sanctuary, they found the love and family they had always yearned for.

“It seems the little ones did indeed hatch.” Demetri smiled in pure amusement.

Now inside the house, Demetri and Felix sat on the ground, surrounded by their exuberant little ones, their hearts filled with joy and contentment. As they shared affectionate moments with their children, Demetri couldn't help but be overwhelmed by a nagging curiosity.

"(Y/N)," he began hesitantly, "can I ask... when were they... born?"

(Y/N) smiled warmly, her eyes filled with maternal pride as she gazed at their offspring. "Just last spring, my love."

Demetri's brow furrowed, and he grimaced inwardly. They had missed the birth of their children, and it weighed heavily on him. He exchanged a quick glance with Felix, who shared his remorse.

"We are sorry, our love," Felix spoke up, his voice tinged with regret. "Our duties... they keep us occupied."

(Y/N) placed a gentle hand on Felix's shoulder, her touch reassuring. "I understand," she said, her voice filled with understanding and love. "You two are protecting our family from that dangerous world up there."

Her words brought solace to Demetri and Felix, a reminder that their sacrifices were not in vain. They had chosen to continue to serve the Volturi to safeguard their loved ones from the perilous existence of the vampire world. But in this hidden sanctuary, beneath the earth's surface, they had found a haven of love and acceptance.

Demetri leaned in to kiss (Y/N), his gratitude and affection evident in the tender gesture. Felix wrapped his arms around both of them, drawing them closer into an embrace that spoke of their unbreakable bond.

As they held each other and reveled in the laughter of their children, the world above, with all its dangers and complexities, faded into the background. Here, in the arms of their mate and the embrace of their little ones, Demetri and Felix found the greatest treasure of all: a family born of love, acceptance, and unity.

Demetri and Felix reveled in the simple joys of parenthood as they took turns playing with their little ones in the underground sanctuary. The children's laughter echoed through the cavern as they engaged in various activities, from playing games to exploring the hidden corners of their unique home.

While one of them spent time with the children, the other shared passionate moments with (Y/N) in their bedroom. Their love for each other burned just as brightly as it did when they first met, and these stolen moments of intimacy were a reminder of the deep connection they shared.

As the day unfolded, Demetri and Felix switched roles, each taking their turn to bond with their mate and tend to the children. It was a seamless rhythm of love and care that filled their hearts with contentment.

By the time dinner approached, the children's excitement was palpable. They gathered around the makeshift dining area, their eager faces lit with anticipation.

Felix and Demetri joined them, taking their seats as (Y/N) served a simple meal. The children couldn't contain their enthusiasm, and their voices bubbled over as they began sharing their adventures.

"I found a rock!" one of the youngest ones exclaimed, proudly displaying a shiny stone.

Another chimed in, "Mommy's helping me grow a garden!" Her eyes sparkled with pride as she described the tiny sprouts that had emerged.

Demetri and Felix listened with rapt attention, their hearts swelling with pride as they celebrated each child's discoveries and accomplishments. It was a far cry from the world of the Volturi, where power and dominance ruled. Here, in this hidden sanctuary, their family thrived on love, support, and the simple joys of life.

The children's stories and laughter filled the underground cavern, a reminder that they were building a future together, one filled with love, acceptance, and the promise of endless adventures in their hidden world.

Demetri and Felix lovingly tucked each of their little ones into their shared nest, ensuring they were comfortable and secure beneath the warm covers. The children's eyes were heavy with sleep, and they clutched their favorite toys as they settled in.

"We'll be back as soon as we can, my loves," Demetri whispered to them, his voice gentle and reassuring.

Felix leaned down to place a tender kiss on each child's forehead. "Sleep well, little peanuts."

As they turned to leave the nest, (Y/N) watched them with a soft smile. However, there was a hint of concern in her eyes. "You shouldn't lie to them," she said softly.

Demetri turned back to her, his expression conflicted. "Let's not fight, my love," he urged, hoping to avoid discord.

(Y/N) sighed, her gaze filled with understanding. "I don't wish to fight either, but they are growing older. Soon, they will question where their papa and daddy are and why they can't see them as often. I understand you are protecting us, but they need their fathers."

Felix, sensing the tension in the room, approached (Y/N) and kissed her gently on the lips. "We will find a solution for this," he promised.

As they left the nest and made their way through the underground sanctuary, dark and possessive thoughts began to swirl in their minds. They were fiercely protective over (Y/N) and their offspring. The idea of being separated from them or putting their family in harm's way was unthinkable.

Demetri's eyes gleamed with a possessive intensity, and Felix's grip on his mate's hand tightened. In the depths of their hearts, they were willing to do whatever it took to ensure the safety and happiness of their beloved mate and precious children, even if it meant taking extreme measures.

As they ventured deeper into the cave towards the exit, the darkness of their thoughts matched the shadowy world they inhabited, where love and protection bordered on obsession, and where the boundaries between right and wrong blurred in the name of family.

After a particularly harrowing mission, Felix and Demetri returned to their hidden sanctuary beneath the earth, their minds heavy with the weight of their deeds. But the protectiveness they felt for their mate and offspring had only grown stronger, and they were determined to provide a safer and more comfortable life for their family.

Not far from their underground haven, they stumbled upon an isolated house nestled among the trees. The owners, oblivious to their impending doom, never saw it coming. In a swift and efficient manner, Felix and Demetri eliminated any threats, securing the property for their own purposes.

With grim determination, they began the arduous task of transforming the house into a hidden treehouse. It was a labor of love and protection, and over the course of three weeks, they worked tirelessly. They constructed a series of long, winding stairs that spiraled up the massive tree trunk, leading to a network of cabins on different levels.

As they labored side by side, their thoughts often turned to their mate and offspring. "Do you think they'll like it here?" Felix asked, his voice tinged with concern.

Demetri paused, wiping sweat from his brow. He gazed around at the hidden treehouse they were building, a sanctuary far removed from the dangers of the vampire world above. "They'll love it," he affirmed, his eyes filled with determination.

They envisioned their family laughing and playing in the treehouse, the children exploring the different levels and cabins, their mate feeling safe and protected in this hidden haven. It was a labor of love and a testament to the depths of their devotion.

With the final touches in place, they stood back to admire their creation. The treehouse blended seamlessly with the surrounding forest, hidden from prying eyes. It was a symbol of their commitment to their family's well-being, a refuge from the chaos and darkness of the world above.

As they left the completed treehouse, Demetri and Felix were filled with a sense of satisfaction and hope. They were willing to go to any lengths to ensure the happiness and security of their loved ones. This hidden treehouse, nestled high among the branches, was a testament to their unwavering love and their determination to provide a better life for their mate and offspring.

With their hidden treehouse complete and the sun casting long shadows through the forest, Demetri and Felix ventured back to the underground sanctuary to fetch (Y/N) and the children. Their hearts swelled with anticipation as they imagined their loved ones discovering their new home.

As they approached their family, (Y/N) turned toward them, her eyes filled with curiosity. "What's going on? What's the surprise?"

Felix exchanged a knowing look with Demetri, and together they led their mate and the children on a winding path from out the cave, through the dense woods. The children's eyes sparkled with excitement as they ventured deeper into the forest, this was their first time outside of the cave.

Finally, they reached the base of the towering tree where the hidden treehouse awaited, its long staircase winding its way up the trunk. The children gasped in awe at the sight before them.

"(Y/N)," Demetri began, his voice filled with warmth, "we wanted to give you and the children a place closer to us.”

(Y/N) looked up at the treehouse, her eyes wide with wonder. "It's incredible," she breathed, taking in the sprawling structure.

As they ascended the stairs to their new home, the children's laughter echoed through the trees. They ran from cabin to cabin, exploring the hidden passages and rooms with boundless enthusiasm.

Demetri and Felix watched with contented smiles as their offspring reveled in their new surroundings. "My loves," (y/n) began, "does this mean we'll see you two more often?

Felix nodded and demetri followed. Demetri’s eyes filled with love and reassurance. "Yes, only we know of this place. It's our secret haven, away from the rest of the world."

Tears of gratitude welled up in (Y/N)'s eyes as she embraced them both. It was a promise of togetherness, a sanctuary where they could nurture their love and protect their family. As the sun set behind the trees, casting a warm golden glow over the hidden treehouse, Demetri, Felix, and their beloved mate and children stood together, united in their secret world, ready to embrace the future with love and unwavering devotion.

here's the rough draft of ch1 of the matt/peter bdsm fic

cw: graphic smut, bondage, spanking, multiple orgasms.

@hiitspath. @cassettetapecryptid.

Matt is horny.

Not the regular kind he can just jerk or fuck away and move on. No, he's too stressed. Too pent up. Tension coils inside him, tighter and tighter until he feels like he's going insane with it.

Which is why he's come to Rapture. To unravel himself under a Dom's expert touch. He limits himself to once every two months, fearing he will become addicted to the feeling it gives him.

It's more than pain. More than humiliation. He loves the way his mind quiets before the world flows back in. There are no screams. No responsibilities. He is whatever his dom wants him to be.

It's the closest he has ever been to peace.

Matt pushes through the doors to the front desk. The host greets him.

"Welcome to Rapture. How may I help you today?"

"I'd like the special service, please."

The host taps away on her tablet.

"Your name please."

"Matt Murdock."

"Thank you." She taps on her tablet. "I apologize for the inconvenience, but your usual dominants are unavailable. Would you like to try someone else today?"

She must see how crestfallen he looks, because she adds, "There’s a new dom who just started a few weeks ago. I've heard he's good. His name's Leo."

Matt thinks about it for a moment, then nods.

"Would you like a copy of your contract in braille?"

"Yes please."

"Okay, I'll be right back."

After the host leaves, Matt's mind wanders. He distracts himself from the club music pounding his skull by focusing on the private rooms. It's then he hears a familiar heartbeat.

Peter.

Peter is somewhere in the building.

Matt breathes faster. His mouth dries and his palms begin to sweat. Suddenly his temporary respite from the outside world doesn't feel so peaceful.

In fact, it's downright terrifying.

He hears the host's footsteps as she makes her way back with the paperwork.

"Thank you for your patience," she says. She picks up her tablet and holds it out to him. "I just need you to sign here. Do you mind if I touch your hand?" Matt shakes his head. She guides him to the line and Matt scribbles his signature. "Okay great, you're all set. If I could get your phone from you?" Matt hands it over.

"Thank you. I'll have it right back here for after your session." She taps something on her tablet. "Alright then, your dom is waiting for you in room three."

Matt goes to the door leading to the private rooms. The sound of Peter's heartbeat grows louder. Nerves fill Matt again.

One.

Thump, thump.

Two.

As Matt feels the numbers on the doors, the slow thump of Peter's heart gets closer and closer. Matt clenches his fists. Spit fills his mouth. He swallows thickly, reaching up to feel the number on the next door.

Three.

Peter's on the other side of the door. Matt thinks briefly of running back to the front desk for a refund, then faking his death and going into witness protection so he won't have to face Peter's rejection.

Stop being chicken, Matt berates himself. You're the man without fear! He takes a breath, steeling himself, and opens the door.

Peter stands in the middle of the room stock still, holding something flat and rectangular -- a tablet he assumes -- staring down at it with held breath. He looks up to see Matt standing in the doorway and just stares at him without speaking.

"Surprise?" Matt says, weakly.

The silence that follows is suffocating in its awkwardness. Matt wishes Stiltman or some other villain would crash through the wall to save him from it.

Peter sighs.

"Well, I guess I don't need this mask then."

He pulls it off and beckons Matt to sit next to him on a sofa by the wall. Matt goes, sitting at the other end.

"This is quite the pickle we're in," Peter says, sounding surprisingly amused for someone who has just been outted as a sex worker.

Matt sighs.

"I'm sorry for this."

"What are you sorry for? You didn't know I worked here."

"But I heard your heartbeat and I decided to come anyway."

"Does that mean you're interested in me?"

That's the million dollar question, isn't it? One Matt has pushed away for years now. He remembers all those nights he fantasized guiltily about Peter while they were both married to different people. The way he wanted to close the distance between their bodies when adrenaline was high and they stood next to each other a tad too close.

The question isn't whether Matt wants him. Matt wants him with a desperation that embarrasses him. Wants Peter to make him come over and over until he's crying with overstimulation. Wants Peter to tell him he's good. But does Peter want that?

Does Peter want him?

"Yeah," Matt manages to croak out.

Peter slides across the sofa until he's practically sitting in Matt's lap. His dick takes notice of Peter's proximity and begins to harden. Matt glares at his traitorous anatomy.

"So would you be interested in doing this outside of the club?" asks Peter. He rests one arm behind Matt's head, while he strokes Matt's chest with his other hand. It's very distracting.

"Yes," replies Matt, voice becoming breathy as Peter begins playing with his nipples through his shirt. "Please."

"I read your list on the pad, but I want you to tell me what you want in your own words." That beautiful, evil hand trails down, down until it rubs Matt's cock through his pants, making him rock up into it.

"I--I," Matt gasps. "I want you to tie me up and spank me." Peter unzips his pants. "I want you to call me a slut. I want you to humiliate me -- ah!" Peter strokes his cock from root to tip, using his pre-cum to slick the way. Matt bucks into his grip, groaning at the feel of callouses on his sensitive flesh.

"Nice dick," comments Peter.

Matt flushes.

"Strip."

Peter lets go of his dick so he can get rid of his clothes. He folds them up and places them on the sofa in a neat pile while Peter looks him up and down appreciately. When he comes to his glasses, he hesitates.

"Do want to keep them on?" Peter asks, softly.

Matt thinks about it for a moment, then decides no. He places them on top of his clothes.

"You're so handsome, baby."

Matt blushes, but he preens, too. He knows he's good looking. It's one of the few things he's never had complaints about. He flexes his biceps to show off, making Peter laugh.

"Alright, alright, you know you're pretty." Peter hops up from the sofa and strides over to Matt. "But I'm still going to tell you how beautiful you are. Just try and stop me."

"Why would I? It's good for my ego."

Peter slaps his thigh, making him gasp.

"If you wanna show off so bad, pose for me while I grab the stuff." He has Matt kneel on a cushion with his hands behind his head, back arched, legs spread. Matt feels like a pinup. Peter's own personal centerfold to jerk off to. He imagines Peter coming on his face, and bites his lip, squirming.

"What are you thinking about so hard over there?" Peter asks from where he's rummaging through drawers of what Matt thinks are toys.

"You. Coming on my face."

Peter sucks in a breath like Matt hurt him, cupping his cock through his pants. A little smirk pulls at the corner of his lips. Nothing like a little tit for tat to get the blood pumping. Or the hands spanking. He wonders how much attitude he can get away with before Peter slaps him, or makes him lick his shoes.

"You're gonna be the death of me," says Peter. He sounds resigned, but fond. Like he loves him. Matt quashes that seed of hope. This is just sex to Peter. It's something he has to be okay with, even if it breaks his heart.

He's pushed out of his thoughts by a warm hand cupping his face.

"What's wrong?" asks Peter.

He sounds so gentle and concerned. The complete opposite of his normally brash demeanor. It's a side of him Matt has rarely seen; the only other time being when he was gravely injured or so upset he couldn't hide it.

"We don't have to do this if you're uncomfortable."

"I'm not uncomfortable. Just...in my head I guess."

"Well, if you're sure..." Peter strokes Matt's chin with the pad of his thumb. "Is it against the bro code if we kiss?" The ridiculousness of the question snaps him out of his funk with a laugh.

"Pete, shut up and dom me," laughs Matt. "I'm in danger of losing my hardon."

Peter looks pointedly down at his dick with Matt imagines is an unimpressed expression.

"I don't think your boner's going anywhere."

It's true. With every inhale he smells Peter's sweat mixed with the heady musk of his arousal. Feels the heat of his body. If it wasn't so hot having Peter loom over him fully clothed he would want him pressed against him skin to skin.

"So I've got some choices," Peter says. He holds out a length of rope for Matt to feel. It's made of a soft, flexible material that won't chafe his wrists. "I could tie your wrists with this, and leave you kneeling here. Or I can tie you to the St. Andrew's Cross and have my wicked way with you."

"Can we try the cross another day? I kind of like kneeling like this. It makes me feel like a spoiled pet."

"Okay kneeling? Check. Rope? Check. Is there any other stuff you want, like toys or paddles, or anything like that?"

"For this time, can we just use your hands?"

"Can do," Peter says with a lazy salute.

"If you want me to spank you, you'll have to bend over the table or the sofa."

Matt shrugs. "That's fine."

"Do you have a safeword?"

"...Karen."

Peter doesn't react to the name, or is really good at pretending not to. He pulls Matt's hands behind his back, tying the rope around Matt's wrists. Matt tests the give of the rope, confident he could escape it if he needs to. Or snap it.

"I could get out of this easy, you know," Matt can't resist quipping.

Peter snorts.

"Yeah I know you can, Houdini. But do you want to?"

"No."

"Then let's get started."

Peter warms him up again by jerking him off at a glacial pace that makes Matt want to bite him. So he does.

"Um, ow?"

"You're going too slow. I want to come."

Peter grips Matt's hair with his free hand and pulls his head back, sending sparks of pain through his scalp. Matt gasps.

"I don't think that's your decision." His voice loses its usual smokey rasp for something more velvet. A voice fit for a creature of the night. Matt shivers in delight. "You'll come when I say. Got it?"

"Yes," answers Matt, rolling his eyes. Peter pulls his hair again.

"Yes, what?"

"...Yes sir."

"Are you gonna be good for me?"

Matt juts his chin out defiantly. He's being bratty on purpose, testing the extent of Peter's tolerance for bad behavior. But somehow Peter flips it around on him.

"If you're bad, I won't punish you." Matt blinks in confusion. If he isn't going to hit him, what is he going to do?

The answer is tease him so much he'll do anything to come.

Peter leaves light, sucking kisses all over his body, not using his sharp teeth to bite him like Matt desperately wants him to.

He teases Matt's nipples with his tongue, blowing on them. Matt whines as white hot pleasure courses through him. Peter brushes them with his thumbs, then gently twists them until Matt is aching with need.

"You're so sensitive."

Peter sounds delighted and a bit awed. He brushes his hands over Matt's body with the same light touch, making the hair on his body stand up.

"Sir, please."

"Please, what?" The amusement in Peter's voice is clear. If Matt had any pride, he would be bristling, but right now all he wants is relief.

"Please hurt me," begs Matt. "Please, I need it."

Peter begins pinching his skin in different spots, hard enough he knows there will be red marks later, or better yet bruises.

He scratches down Matt's chest, then slaps the inside of his thighs.

"Sir, please spank me. I've been good. Please."

Tears well up in Matt's eyes. He needs the extra pain to push him into that perfect place. Peter brushes his tears away.

"It's okay, baby. You're doing so well. Let's get you up, alright?" Peter pulls him up to standing and leads him to a cushioned table in the middle of the room. He bends Matt over it, then runs his hand down Matt's bound arms to give his hand a squeeze. Matt squeezes back.

Peter trails his hand over his hip down to his ass, groping at the plush give of it. Matt wiggles back into his grip, hinting for Peter to get on with it. Peter chuckles.

"Everyone always talks about my ass, but I think it's just they haven't seen yours." Peter smacks it to watch it jiggle. Matt hides his face against the table, face as red as his hair.

"Peter..."

"Ah, ah, ah. Address me correctly."

Matt sighs.

"Sir, please spank me."

"I would be delighted."

At first the hits are light. Peter takes it slow, gradually hitting harder to test Matt's pain threshold.

"Harder," Matt demands.

Peter lands a harsh slap that makes Matt moan.

"Yes. Oh, that's perfect."

The pain lights up his nerves like fireworks. In between slaps, Peter rubs the warm, aching skin, drawing the pain out even longer. Matt pants like he's been running. Tears run down his face. He feels so good.

"That's twenty," murmurs Peter. He plays with Matt's fingers. "You ready to come?"

"Yeah." Matt hums, rubbing his cheek against the table. He is safe and warm. The only pain he feels is the pain he asked for. And Peter is here. Touching him and being so caring. Coming feels like a bonus.

"How do you want it?"

Matt thinks about it. He's had many guilty jerk off sessions about what those strange callouses would feel like inside him. The way the whirls of his fingertips would feel stroking his walls and his prostate while he clenches around them.

"Finger me."

Peter strokes a hand down his thigh, then leaves to grab lube and gloves.

"No, I want it bare," whines Matt. "I want to feel your hands."

"It's gonna make cleanup take longer."

"Please?"

Peter sighs.

"Fine."

Matt whines even more when he feels Peter untying his arms.

"Hey, it's okay. I'm just moving them to the front. I want to see your face."

A smirk pulls at his lips. He smells blood in the water.

"You want to see me come on your fingers? See how bad I want it?" Matt turns over on his back, hissing as his ass presses against the table. He spreads his legs and arches his back. Tries to look inviting. "I'd look even better on your cock."

"I'm not fucking you with my dick this time," Peter says, firmly. Immovable. He laughs at Matt's exaggerated pout. "Oh c'mon, don't be like that. I want to, it's just I want to be able to do it in a bed."

He leans over to whisper in Matt's ear, "And if you're really good, you can fuck me." Matt swallows. He really, really wants that.

Peter squirts lube onto his fingers, rubbing them together to warm it up. He drops his fingers to rub Matt's hole, making him gasp. Peter strokes his hole in slow circles, dipping his fingertips inside with shallow thrusts that make Matt aware of how empty he is. After teasing Matt for five minutes, he finally slips a finger inside to the knuckle. Matt closes his eyes, biting his lip at the feeling of the whirls of his fingertips stroking inside him.

"How sensitive are you?" asks Peter.

"Very." He rocks into Peter's thrusts. "I need another."

"I bet you like ribbed toys." Peter slips another finger in, curling them to rub Matt's prostate, making him moan. "Bet you can feel every ridge rubbing you inside."

"Yeah," Matt gasps. Little "unh, unh, unh"s escape as Peter fingers him harder, keeping it slow so he really feels it. His hips jerk with every thrust home. He feels his orgasm spiraling in his gut before he clenches around Peter's fingers, come shooting up to his chin.

But Peter doesn't stop. Just keeps fucking him with his fingers until Matt comes again.

He makes Matt come over and over. One orgasm rolling into another until he's sobbing. Peter's fingers fuck into him relentlessly, milking him until he's coming dry, hips jerking in overstimulation.

"Unh, Peter I can't again."

Matt winces as Peter pulls his fingers out of him, lube leaking onto the table. It's both hot and gross. He hears Peter unzip his pants and the wet sound of him jerking off.

"Wait," Matt says, arching off the table. "Come on me. I want to smell it."

The moan Peter lets out is of agonized ecstasy. Cum stripes Matt's thighs.

"Untie me," Matt commands. Peter snaps to attention, cock hardening again as he hurries to untie the ropes.

Once Matt is free, he slides off the table and kneels down on the cushion from earlier, tilting his head up in the direction of Peter's face. He reaches for Peter's cock, slowly stroking it.

"Now I want you to come on my face and my tits." He licks Peter's cock from root to tip, flicking his tongue under the sensitive head to hear Peter moan. "I want you to make a mess of me. Then I want you to feed it to me after."

Peter moans, high and desperate.

"I want that."

Matt jerks him off fast and tight, twisting his hand around the head on the up stroke.

"Matt, I'm gonna--" Matt closes his eyes and opens his mouth. Cum streaks his cheeks and hits his tongue in salty spurts. Another spurt hits his tits. Peter falls to his knees, pulling Matt into a filthy kiss. He sucks the cum from Matt's tongue with a desperate moan Matt echoes.

They part with panting gasps, foreheads pressed together. Peter pulls away with a chaste kiss to grab aftercare supplies.

Peter wipes cum from Matt's face with a damp washcloth, then carefully rubs salve on his ass while he hisses.

"Sorry babe."

"It's okay. I asked you to do it."

"C'mere, I wanna hold you."

Peter pulls him to the sofa, where Matt sits gingerly on Peter's lap, arms wrapped around Peter's neck. Peter strokes his hand over Matt's thigh in soothing motions. Soft lips press kisses on his neck.

"That was really hot," says Peter.

"It was," agrees Matt.

"Do you wanna go out sometime?" Peter asks hesitantly.

"Of course."

"Then it's a date."

Peter helps him dress, sending him off with another kiss and a promise to call the next day. Matt can't stop smiling all the way home.

Witch and the Cursed Knight

Bit of a cutesy story as a prequel to the comic I'm getting made.

Scattered around the forest floor lay the large green bodies of vicious goblins. Only a few remained alive, yet they maintained their oppression, looking hungry as they tested their foes; two women they pushed far beyond the boundaries of normal travelers. The goblins were experts at wearing people down, yet even after slaughtering their group, Lithelia, the towering blonde knight looked poised and ferocious, Light as a feather in her heavy leather and steel plated armor. She swung her sword through tough hide and flesh of their hungry comrades with grace. Her companion, Dina, started out calling for lightning, but as time passed, focused on shielding Lithelia, stopping their clubs from hitting her.

As the battle went on, Dina showed a terror and desperation that was missing from the warrior’s eyes despite being well protected. Under a curse from a sorceress who used to control her, Lithelia could not know her own limits. Dina, who had been traveling with her for years, took over that role, watching on as she fought and looking for signs of physical distress. Dina looked up at Lithelia, lungs drawing breath as fast she could, skin drenched in sweat and blood.

“STOP!” Dina yelled, forming a barrier around her companion. Her words weren’t aimed at the beasts, but the woman single-handedly killing them. Lithelia seemed to ignore her, even more determined to slay every goblin as if it was a race against time. She dashed forward, slamming into one with her shoulder and skewering him with her sword.

Frustrated, Dina’s eyes glowed a bright white, flashes of electric current arcing between her staff and the trees, the goblins. Then with a labored yell, the barrier around Lithelia became hot white and spread outward, scorching the beasts, and causing them to run away.

Dina sunk to the forest floor, holding her staff to her chest and curling into a ball. The magic cost her much more than she expected, leaving her feeling like her soul had been ripped from her body. Lithelia looked over at Dina. “What are you doing? Don’t do that again!” Lithelia commanded, fear filling her eyes for the first time since the attack started. “Your knowledge is vital to the college. It’s my duty to escort you there; My service to those who freed me.” Lithelia said between heavy breaths. She walked over toward Dina, but as she took her first step, her legs gave out, causing her drop to her hands and knees.

“Lithelia!” Dina yelled, mustering the strength to crawl to her as fast as she could. “What?” Lithelia let out, pushing herself up and leaning back against a tree to catch her breath while looking for more of them. She could feel her fatigue, but to what extent her body didn’t let her know. Dina crawled and sat down below Lithelia’s legs, violet eyes wide and anxious as she pulled herself to her feet.

Her delicate fingers pushed between the gaps in the woman’s armor to the left of her sternum, feeling the erratic, strained beating of her companion's heart between her ribs. It thrashed like a wild creature, thumping against its cage, desperate for respite yet denied any rest.

Traveling for so long with her cursed protector, She knew this rhythm all too well, her hands attuned to the subtle signs of its labored dance. She studied the force with which it mashed against her fingers, the speed and urgency of its beating. By now she knew how it felt when it was in danger of failing, the rate at which it pumped before it would sputter out of control. In this moment, it was there… pumping harder than times that led to Lithelia’s fall.

“Please sit, you need to calm down before you have a heart attack!” Dina complained.

Lithelia, her gaze lingering on the forest's edge, took a labored breath and allowed herself to slide down the rough bark of the tree, a sharp gasp escaping her as she felt a piercing pain below her shoulder.

Dina noticed, quickly moving behind Lithelia. in the woman’s back, she saw a chipped obsidian blade lodged between her ribs, pulsing slightly with blood trickling from the wound.

“Don’t move, there’s something in you.” Dina said with terror in her voice. “I’m sorry, I need to see how deep it goes…” Dina said, the typically timid woman realizing what she had to do. “Go ahead.” Lithelia said, raising her arms in a show of trust and understanding that she built over the years they spent together.

Dina urgently lifted Lithelia’s armor, yet careful not to agitate the blade lodged between her ribs. As she revealed Lithelia’s bare flesh, her eyes fixed on the subtle scars over thick muscle that bore testament to the countless battles this woman fought.

Once Lithelia’s chest was revealed, Dina lowered her head and pressed her ear over the woman’s heart. She closed her eyes and listened closely to the tireless muscle between deep breaths. As Dina studied the sounds, and the blunt punching of its apex against her cheek, she began to calm down. Its rhythm cooling even if very slightly, and no sign of wheezing from her lungs, nor compromise of her heart.

“That’s a good sign.” Dina said, her voice soft and mellow now. Her own heart calmed quickly.

“Can I take it out?” Lithelia asked. “It doesn’t seem to be in your lung or heart… but I need to see if the tip is barbed or jagged. Let me cast a spell on you, I promise to be quick” Dina said.

“Do your magic” Lithelia said with a smile.

Dina was about to do something she had never done before, her hands trembling as her palm laid flat against Lithelia’s chest. Blue light radiated from her arm and sank into her companion’s body, her chest wall becoming translucent, flesh, bone, and muscle disappearing in a wave flowing outward from her hand.

A window to her vital organs like a wave of energy shot through her, leaving only the color of her heart and lungs while the area of flesh and bone around them looked like still water trapped in currents that flowed in the shape of the underlying structures.

A blush spread across Dina’s cheeks as she silently gazed at the exposed core of the most powerful being she’d ever met. Her eyes, wide and focused, flickered between Lithelia’s knowing face and the spectacular and intimate sight, pulsing with a rhythm as powerful as the woman it belonged to.

“Hold still, it’s safe” Dina let out, her voice a soft whisper.

The blade, while close to Lithelia’s heart, was flat between her pleura and pericardium, at no danger of puncturing either. With that in mind, she quickly pulled it out and flung it to the ground.

Lithelia let out a soft gasp, unprepared for the silent tug.

Yet silently Dina lingered…

The life she studied and looked over for years, now witnessing it in its most visceral form, was a sacred and overwhelming experience. The mighty heart dancing against her palm powerful and assertive, yet delicate and vulnerable.

“How is it?” Lithelia asked, snapping Dina out of her trance. “It’s clear, it didn’t harm any of your vital organs.” Dina said.

“How long does this spell last? I don’t think it’s a good thing to fight with” Lithelia asked.

“Oh, I can remove it now…” Dina said, a tinge of guilt in her eyes.

Saving an Endangered Route 66 Gas Station: Once A “Safe Haven” For Black Travelers

— Rebekah Brandes | NiceNews.Com | Friday October 04, 2024

“If you ever plan to motor west,” Nat King Cole crooned in 1946, “travel my way, take the highway that’s the best.” He was singing, of course, about historic Route 66, which spanned more than 2,400 miles from downtown Chicago, Illinois, to seaside Santa Monica, California — winding over the Missouri Ozarks, across Oklahoma, and through the Mojave Desert.

Established as part of the first federal highway system in 1926, Route 66 is “an artery of transportation,” per the National Park Service. It was officially decommissioned in 1985, but much of it is still driveable, with iconic landmarks serving as popular road trip stops. And since 1990, multiple programs have been put in place to protect the cultural significance and history of the highway.

In its early days, Route 66 — nicknamed the Main Street of America — was promoted as being the shortest and most scenic route from Chicago to Los Angeles. For many people, though, there was even more reason to stick to the highway.

The Threatt Filling Station in Luther, Oklahoma, was once the only Black-owned gas station along the route, and it provided one of the few respites for people of color who were driving, CBS News reports.

“This was literally, literally a safe haven for people during the Jim Crow era,” Edward Threatt, whose grandfather owned the station, told the outlet. “My grandpa, he was a smart man, to be able to acquire 160 acres of land, because we had so much property they could stay out back.”

In 2021, the filling station, which hasn’t been in use for decades, was named one of America’s Most Endangered Historic Places — a list of over 350 culturally significant sites generated by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Each year, 11 locations are added to the roster. The 2023 iteration included another Route 66 business: the Osterman Gas Station in Peach Springs, Arizona, considered “a focal point of the Hualapai Tribal community for generations,” per the organization.

Threatt is working with members of the nonprofit’s Hands-On Preservation Experience, or HOPE, as well as restoration expert David Gibney, to bring his family’s filling station back to life. Not as a stop to pump gas, but hopefully a place for people to rest from the road and learn about the station’s history.

“The complex represents the power of Black entrepreneurship and family stewardship through generations. It helps illuminate important but underrepresented stories of life along iconic Route 66,” Jennifer Sandy, field director for the National Trust for Historic Preservation, told Fast Company in January 2022.

The project requires great attention to detail. “We want everything to look like (what) was originally there,” Gibney explained to CBS News. “And that’s the real task here.” All the restoration work must be done by hand, he noted, adding: “A.I. can never replace it. Robots can never replace it.”

The painstaking process is a worthy endeavor, and one the original owner, Threatt’s grandfather, would fully support. “He’s proud of us. I mean, I know he is,” he said. “And he expects us, me, my cousins, who are now the elders of the family, to preserve this and pass it on and make sure it is never, ever outside the family.”

For Molly Baker, a manager for HOPE who is working on restoration efforts, it represents an even bigger picture: “Part of telling the full American story is making sure that everyone has their story told, and that there’s representation for everybody.”

So, in Colorado, there's this thing called the TABOR amendment. Between 1992 and 2005 (when it got changed enough that it wasn't QUITE so draconian), what it basically meant was that any agency, department, etc., that didn't spend its entire budget would have its budget cut the next year. No wiggle room, no room for "this is why our needs are growing" (beyond basic inflation). Use it or lose it.

But at the same time, they make it REALLY HARD to use a lot of government funding! You have to jump through a lot of stupid hoops to access those funds, they make it deliberately obtuse and difficult to navigate for the average person.

Enter my mother, who is extremely determined, a Karening expert, a (somewhat unwilling) SAHM of three neurodivergent kids (one of whom also has severe physical disabilities), and really, really good at navigating systems. Oh, and doesn't have a whole lot of respect for the law.

Case managers and agency reps LOVED her. She knew how to navigate the system to get resources! She helped other families do it, too! She wasn't going to report them if they steered a little extra resources her way at the end of the fiscal year to ensure that they retained their budget; she was just gonna use that money to help the families who hadn't quite been able to get the paperwork done themselves.

So like, there was one point when there was a test pilot program that would pay for respite care for full time caregivers, but it had to be an adult who lived in a separate residence, and it only paid $10, which wasn't horrible at the time, but like, my sister had made more as a teenage lifeguard so... It wasn't super enticing for a grown adult to take care of a frequently-combative kid with uncontrolled grand mal epilepsy, either.

Well, I already did a lot of hours of caregiving for my brother for free, so that my mom was finally able to take a part-time job, and I wasn't old enough to be a lifeguard yet, so $10 an hour sounded fine to me. But of course, I wasn't eligible. Whereas my sister was old enough and had her own apartment, but she could make more as in other jobs and didn't really want to do it. So we decided we'd just put down my hours on her timesheet. The $$ was still going to the services they were meant for, all was good.

And then one day the director of the agency calls up my mom and is just like "hey so, we didn't use up the budget on that program, so I put a 1 in front of the 0 every day this month when your respite care worker—yeah, I know it's your underage daughter, don't worry about it—didn't do any hours. Just letting you know so you won't be shocked when the check comes."

And like. I could feel bad about that. We didn't redistribute THOSE funds—my parents decided I'd earned it, and I used it to put myself through college, so it was Medicaid fraud no matter how you look at it. But on the other hand. I did so many hours of care for my brother for free, growing up. My parents did SO MUCH to make sure that he didn't get institutionalized—my mom had to quit her job and stay home to take care of him, that's a decade and a half of income lost. All so that he wouldn't end up on FULL state support, which means it ended up saving the state a HELL of a lot of $$ in the long run. And because that pilot program proved that people would use the funds, it was successful, and now there's still money for full time caregivers in this state to pay respite care workers, so they don't burn out.

So yeah. I don't feel bad about that.

I think it's important to remember, as a rule of thumb, if you take advantage of a social service, it actually makes it easier for other people who need that service to access it. Most of the time, when these services get cut, it's because politicians will look at usage and say "see, no one is really using this thing, we can afford to trim the budget for food stamps by at least half". Whereas if you decide to step up and use these programs, even if you feel like you "don't really need it", at bare minimum it's another data point advocates can use to say "hey, look, people are using this thing, this is an important service we are providing, do not cut our funding".

Expert AC Service in Vadodara: Repair, Installation & Maintenance

Vadodara, located in the state of Gujarat, is known for its scorching summer heat, making air conditioning systems an essential part of everyday life. Whether in residential homes, commercial spaces, or industrial settings, air conditioning is no longer a luxury but a necessity. However, like any other appliance, air conditioners (ACs) require proper care and maintenance to ensure they function efficiently. In this blog, we will delve deep into expert AC services in Vadodara, focusing on the repair, installation, and maintenance of air conditioning systems.

Importance of Expert AC Services in Vadodara

Vadodara experiences a tropical climate, characterized by hot and dry summers and mild winters. The extreme heat often makes life unbearable, and air conditioners provide a much-needed respite from the soaring temperatures. As the demand for ACs continues to grow, it becomes crucial to rely on professional services to ensure the longevity and performance of these systems.

Whether you are looking to install a new air conditioning unit, repair an old one, or carry out routine maintenance, professional AC service providers play an important role. Expert technicians can quickly identify problems, provide cost-effective solutions, and ensure that your air conditioning unit operates optimally throughout the year.

AC Installation Services in Vadodara

The installation of an air conditioning unit is a crucial step that directly impacts its efficiency, performance, and lifespan. When considering AC installation in Vadodara, it is essential to hire experienced professionals who can carry out the installation process with precision.

Factors to Consider During AC Installation

Size of the Room: The capacity of the AC must match the size of the room or area you want to cool. An undersized unit will not cool the space effectively, while an oversized unit will lead to excessive energy consumption. Expert AC technicians can help you choose the right size for your space.

Location of Installation: The placement of the AC unit plays a significant role in its performance. Technicians take into account factors such as airflow, exposure to direct sunlight, and positioning of the indoor and outdoor units to ensure optimal cooling efficiency.

Electrical Requirements: Air conditioners consume significant amounts of electricity. It is essential to ensure that the electrical wiring and circuit breakers are suitable for the power demands of the AC unit. Professional technicians perform the necessary checks and install the required electrical components to ensure safe operation.

Type of AC: Depending on your needs, you may choose between different types of air conditioning units, such as split ACs, window ACs, cassette ACs, or central ACs. Each type has its unique advantages, and the expert technician will advise you on the most suitable option based on your requirements and space.

The Installation Process

The Cassette AC Service in Vadodara process typically includes the following steps:

Assessment and Planning: The technician will visit your home or office, assess the room's size, and determine the ideal location for the indoor and outdoor units.

Mounting the Indoor Unit: The technician will install the indoor unit at the specified location, ensuring proper drainage for the condensate water and secure mounting.

Installing the Outdoor Unit: The outdoor unit is typically installed on a balcony, terrace, or external wall. The technician ensures that the unit is securely mounted, with proper ventilation to allow for heat dissipation.

Connecting the Units: The technician will then connect the refrigerant lines, power cables, and drainage pipes between the indoor and outdoor units. This process requires precision and expertise to avoid leaks and ensure efficient performance.

Testing the System: Once the installation is complete, the technician will test the system to ensure that the AC is functioning properly. This includes checking the cooling performance, air circulation, and ensuring that the system is free of leaks.

AC Repair Services in Vadodara

Over time, air conditioning units can experience wear and tear, leading to malfunctions or complete breakdowns. Regular usage, dust accumulation, and aging parts can reduce the efficiency of your AC system. When this happens, it is important to seek professional AC Service in Vadodara.

Common AC Problems and Their Solutions

Poor Cooling Performance: If your AC is not cooling effectively, the issue could be due to a refrigerant leak, dirty air filters, or a malfunctioning compressor. A professional technician can diagnose the issue and repair it quickly, ensuring that your AC returns to its optimal performance.

Strange Noises: Unusual sounds, such as banging, rattling, or screeching, may indicate loose parts, debris in the unit, or a malfunctioning fan or compressor. These issues require immediate attention from a technician to avoid further damage.

Water Leaks: If you notice water leaking from the AC unit, it could be due to a clogged drainage pipe, a damaged condensate pump, or a frozen coil. Repairing these issues promptly can prevent water damage to your property.

Foul Odors: Bad smells emanating from your AC unit may be caused by mold, mildew, or bacteria buildup in the system. A professional technician will clean and disinfect the unit to restore clean and fresh air.

AC Maintenance Services in Vadodara

Routine maintenance is key to keeping your air conditioning unit in top condition. Regular servicing helps prevent breakdowns, improves energy efficiency, and prolongs the life of the system. In Vadodara, with its hot summers, scheduling annual AC maintenance is essential for maintaining comfort throughout the year.

Key Aspects of AC Maintenance

Cleaning the Air Filters: Over time, the air filters in your AC accumulate dust, dirt, and debris, which can reduce airflow and strain the system. A technician will clean or replace the filters to ensure smooth operation.

Checking the Refrigerant Levels: Low refrigerant levels can affect the cooling performance of your AC and lead to compressor damage. Technicians will check and refill the refrigerant as needed.

Cleaning the Coils: Dust and dirt can accumulate on the evaporator and condenser coils, reducing their efficiency. Regular cleaning of the coils improves cooling performance and prevents overheating.

Checking the Thermostat: Technicians calibrate the thermostat to ensure accurate temperature control and prevent issues such as short cycling or temperature fluctuations.

Inspecting the Ductwork: Leaky ducts can lead to loss of cool air, reduced efficiency, and increased energy consumption. Technicians inspect the ductwork for leaks and perform necessary repairs.

Benefits of Regular AC Maintenance

Improved Efficiency: A well-maintained AC unit runs more efficiently, reducing energy consumption and lowering your electricity bills.

Extended Lifespan: Regular maintenance helps prevent premature wear and tear, extending the lifespan of your AC unit.

Better Air Quality: Clean filters and ducts improve the air quality in your home or office, providing a healthier environment.

Fewer Breakdowns: Regular maintenance reduces the likelihood of unexpected breakdowns and costly repairs.

Ethical Analysis -- Strategy for Palliative Care The sector for healthcare has, in the last 50 years, improved in its efforts towards cost minimization and service delivery enhancement. Some elements of improvement (such as automation) ensued from technological advances. However, other elements (such as strategy application) owe their establishment in the health sector to endeavors on the part of intelligent, like-minded people who understand life's worth, and that of minimal suffering when it comes to illness. Palliative care represents one such effort. It denotes a system targeted at delivering respite from painful, disturbing symptoms through the affirmation of life and considering death to be a process. Palliative care, as defined by the World Health Organization, is an approach, which enhances quality of life (QOL) of patients, suffering from life-threatening ailments, and their family via prevention and symptom relief. This, they achieve through early diagnosis, and proper assessment and pain treatment, as well as spiritual, physical, and psychological care. Though there are structures instituted for the purpose of palliative care, developing efficient strategies for propelling the health sector along the right path is of utmost importance. This is where a majority of palliative care facilities are found lacking. This paper's objective is to deal with the subject of strategizing for facilitating palliative care delivery (Policy Directive, 2010). Application of External Ethical Standards Usually, ethical problems crop up in the palliative care setting due to concerns regarding the type and amount of care appropriate for individuals having short life expectancy. A conflict normally exists among physicians, nurses, other members of the care delivery team, patients, and their family, with regard to what forms appropriate care, especially as terminally-ill patients approach their deathbed. Recently, the value of ethically-grounded medical practice is garnering increasing emphasis. Numerous countries and groups have demanded a widely-accepted, elementary ethics curriculum for healthcare providers. The many morals and ethical codes outlined in different declarations and oaths are the foundation for ethical healthcare practices. One such oath, widely taken since several hundred years by new graduates in medicine, is the 'Hippocratic Oath'. In spite of the differences found among different historical documents, there are many common ethical doctrines or value orientations highlighted among them; these include: kindness, justice, non-maleficence, and regard for patients' confidentiality and autonomy. Will this revival, in significance of ethics in the medical field, benefit patients alone? This paper will examine research indicating that healthcare experts, including physicians, experience increased stress when they feel the healthcare body they are linked to does not share their ethical values or standards. Patients as well as healthcare providers will profit from focusing on ethical clinical practice and the negotiation skills. The above aspects are vital and have to be taken into account when deciding upon a strategy for palliative care organizations (Gabel, 2010). Palliative Care Strategy The strategy intends to establish an organized, informed practice approach for palliative care delivery and ethics. The main goals in development of this strategy are as follows: Formulation of a realistic, dependable strategy that reinforces existing structures, including providing quality palliative care services by organizations, such as hospitals, hospices, charitable organizations, home support organizations, and elder care facilities. Development of a more receptive system that supervises nurses' as well as physicians' ethical assessment. Promotion of awareness regarding the value of maintaining high standards of ethics and professionalism throughout practice. Incorporation of other stakeholders (e.g., local and federal governmental bodies) governing palliative care practices. Consistent with the above goals, the strategy mandates further that any person acting/working for partners must immediately bring to the attention of authorities any external or internal issue violating the ethical standards of palliative care. This mandate and duty to report represents a responsibility as well as a right for all professionals in the health sector. Aside from grassroots-level ethical standards, support of palliative care delivery at the government's highest levels is essential, as is establishment of structures for operational and strategic delivery of effective services. At the level of governmental policy, the strategy must be overseen by a high-ranking health department officer. This officer (recommended highly to be an expert in the healthcare arena) must be entrusted the overall duty of formulating a budget for palliative care, in addition to ethical policies, before introducing commissioning. Further, the strategy includes the creation of mechanisms and common guidelines and policy frameworks with regard to handling unethical behaviors in clinical settings and resultant penalty to be meted out. As the clinical care committee and governments integrate with this regard, the responsibility of handling unethical practices must be assigned to an objective, independent body for avoiding bias (Chambers, 2015). Integrating Decision Making Process Usually, ethical problems crop up in the palliative care setting due to concerns regarding the type and amount of care appropriate for individuals having short life expectancy. A conflict normally exists among physicians, nurses, other members of the care delivery team, patients, and their family, with regard to what forms appropriate care, especially as terminally-ill patients approach their deathbed. The aforementioned parties must be allowed to participate in making decisions regarding all palliative care aspects, right from policy development to practical care. Ensuring the presence of appropriate channels of communication among decision makers is extremely important, as these channels allow free information flow along the decision making hierarchy (i.e., from bottom to top). One must, however, always expect gaps to arise in these settings. This occurs more commonly in the decision-making phase of Advance Care Planning. This is a continuous process wherein patients, their caregivers/families, and physicians/nurses consider patient values, beliefs, and goals, deliberate over how present and future patient care must be informed, and finally, apply this information for correctly documenting future choices in health care, preferably following an assessment of caregiver's and patient's hopes, fears, needs, and knowledge. While planning, unified decisions are required of patients (if they are right-minded), nurses, physicians, and caregivers. But a common practice seen is coercion by highest-ranking decision-makers (doctors, in the healthcare context), who ultimately end up making all decisions for other participating persons. Nurses as well as physicians argue from a medical perspective, whereas patients and their caregivers argue from an opposing stance along familial and social lines that always involve sympathy. Social and scientific values always differ. While attempting to resolve such an issue, formulation of legal standards, in association with decision making as well as who possesses the ultimate right, on the government's part is pivotal. This must be carried out according to human rights directives. Moreover, practicing of superior ethical conduct by all involved persons, particularly healthcare professionals (i.e., nurses and physicians) is utterly crucial. This may be achieved through the development of rules governing healthcare professionals in such instances (Fromme, Smith, 2015). Achieving Consensus within the Decision Making Group Consensus, in the context of decision-making, represents a dynamic, creative means of reaching accord among all parties. Rather than mere voting for any aspect and adopting the majority's decision, consensus helps in seeking solutions actively supported or at least somewhat agreeable to all parties. It ascertains that the ideas, concerns, and views of all are considered. By paying close attention to what everyone in the group has to say, the group intends to furnish proposals, which are acceptable for all. Consensus cannot be considered as either unanimity or compromise -- its attempt is to go further and integrate key concerns and best ideas produced out of group discussions. The process usually leads to innovative, astonishing solutions that are an inspiration to all, individually as well as collectively. In the palliative care context, it is essential for all participating persons to be unified and coherent and engage in informed decision-making. It must be borne in mind that each life counts; any decision-making error, which may culminate in a patient's death is taken extremely seriously, and warrants punishment. For attaining consensus while making decisions, parties participating need to know how to lend each other a careful and patient ear. This key skill allows an individual to put one's processes and thoughts on hold, permitting another individual to voice their concern. That is, consensus entails making a conscious effort to appreciate the other person's position, concerns, emotions, and needs, prior to making an ultimate decision. Another aspect is summarizing the opinions of individual parties and ultimately, integrating all options, discovering common ground, which must be based wholly on solutions, which deal with key group concerns and needs. In decision-making, it is imperative that involved parties take into account the laws instituted for governing any decisions made. A decision will be deemed as unethical if it doesn't fall within these stipulated laws (SDC, 2010). Conclusion Delivering painless medical care to patients and their families is the main aim of palliative care. Improving this sector through implementation of facilitative strategies is crucial for governments. Authorities need to consider terminally ill patients to be as important as their family; they must be cared for even on their deathbed. There are a large number of healthcare institutions that are left alone to manage such patients without any aid from the government. The main cause for this is the absence of strong, effective strategies. Implementation of such a strategy as the one outlined in this paper will help ensure minimization of deaths and superior palliative care delivery (Policy Directive, 2010). References Chambers, M.

Let Me See You Stripped Down to the Bone

Summary: Matt has been going to a sex club for years in order to purge his demons, and as a brief respite from the outside world. It all changes when he accidentally runs into Peter working at the club.

Now they must figure out how to navigate their relationship while dealing with past trauma, and the pitfalls of vigilante life.

Chapter 1: fancy meeting you here

(cw: spanking, bondage, pinching, anal fingering, general impact play, teasing, some humiliation kink, praise kink.)

Matt is horny. 

Not the regular kind he can just jerk or fuck away and move on. No, he's too stressed. Too pent up. Tension coils inside him, tighter and tighter until he feels like he's going insane with it.

 

Which is why he's come to Rapture. To unravel himself under a dom's expert touch. He limits himself to once every two months, fearing he will become addicted to the feeling it gives him.

 

It's more than pain. More than humiliation. He loves the way his mind quiets before the world flows back in. There are no screams. No responsibilities. He is whatever his dom wants him to be. 

 

It's the closest he has ever been to peace.

 

Matt pushes through the doors to the front desk. The host greets him. 

 

"Welcome to Rapture. How may I help you today?"

 

"I'd like the special service, please." 

 

The host taps away on her tablet.

 

"Your name please."

 

"Matt Murdock."

 

"Thank you." She taps on her tablet. "I apologize for the inconvenience, but your usual dominants are unavailable. Would you like to try someone else today?" 

 

She must see how crestfallen he looks, because she adds, "There’s a new dom who just started a few weeks ago. I've heard he's good. His name's Leo." 

 

Matt thinks about it for a moment, then nods. 

 

"Would you like a copy of your contract in braille?"

 

"Yes, please." 

 

"Okay, I'll be right back."

 

After the host leaves, Matt's mind wanders. He distracts himself from the club music pounding his skull by focusing on the private rooms. It's then he hears a familiar heartbeat.

 

Peter.

 

Peter is somewhere in the building. 

 

Matt breathes faster. His mouth dries and his palms begin to sweat. Suddenly his temporary respite from the outside world doesn't feel so peaceful. 

 

In fact, it's downright terrifying.

 

He hears the host's footsteps as she makes her way back with the paperwork. 

 

"Thank you for your patience," she says. She picks up her tablet and holds it out to him. "I just need you to sign here. Do you mind if I touch your hand?" Matt shakes his head. She guides him to the line and Matt scribbles his signature. "Okay great, you're all set. If I could get your phone from you?" Matt hands it over.

 

"Thank you. I'll have it right back here for after your session." She taps something on her tablet. "Alright then, your dom is waiting for you in room three." 

 

Matt goes to the door leading to the private rooms. The sound of Peter's heartbeat grows louder. Nerves fill Matt again.

 

One. 

 

Thump, thump.

 

Two.

 

As Matt feels the numbers on the doors, the slow thump of Peter's heart gets closer and closer. Matt clenches his fists. Spit fills his mouth. He swallows thickly, reaching up to feel the number on the next door. 

 

Three. 

 

Peter is on the other side of the door. Matt thinks briefly of running back to the front desk for a refund, then faking his death and going into witness protection so he won't have to face Peter's rejection.

 

Stop being chicken, Matt berates himself. You're the man without fear! He takes a breath, steeling himself, and opens the door. 

 

Peter stands in the middle of the room stock still, holding something flat and rectangular -- a tablet he assumes -- staring down at it with held breath. He looks up to see Matt standing in the doorway and just stares at him without speaking. 

 

"Surprise?" Matt says, weakly. 

 

The silence that follows is suffocating in its awkwardness. Matt wishes Stiltman or some other villain would crash through the wall to save him from it.

 

Peter sighs. 

 

"Well, I guess I don't need this mask then." 

 

He pulls it off and beckons Matt to sit next to him on a sofa by the wall. Matt goes, sitting at the other end. 

 

"This is quite the pickle we're in," Peter says, sounding surprisingly amused for someone who has just been outted as a sex worker. 

 

Matt sighs.

 

"I'm sorry for this."

 

"What are you sorry for? You didn't know I work here." 

 

"But I heard your heartbeat and I decided to come anyway." 

 

"Does that mean you're interested in me?"

 

That's the million dollar question, isn't it? One Matt has pushed away for years now. He remembers all those nights he fantasized guiltily about Peter while they were both married to different people. The way he wanted to close the distance between their bodies when adrenaline was high and they stood next to each other a bit too close. 

 

The question isn't whether Matt wants him. Matt wants him with a desperation that embarrasses him. Wants Peter to make him come over and over until he's crying with overstimulation. Wants Peter to tell him he's good. But does Peter want that?

 

Does Peter want him?

 

"Yeah," Matt manages to croak out. 

 

Peter slides across the sofa until he's practically sitting in Matt's lap. His dick takes notice of Peter's proximity and begins to harden. Matt glares at his traitorous anatomy. 

 

"So would you be interested in doing this outside the club?" asks Peter. He rests one arm behind Matt's head, while he strokes Matt's chest with his free hand. It's very distracting. 

 

"Yes," replies Matt, voice becoming breathy as Peter begins playing with his nipples through his shirt. "Please."

 

"I read your list on the pad, but I want you to tell me what you want in your own words." That beautiful, evil hand trails down, down until it rubs Matt's cock through his pants, making him rock up into it. 

 

 

"I--I," Matt gasps. "I want you to tie me up and spank me." Peter unzips his pants. "I want you to call me a slut. I want you to humiliate me -- ah!" Peter strokes his cock from root to tip, using his pre-cum to slick the way. Matt bucks into his grip, groaning at the feel of callouses on his sensitive flesh.

 

"Nice dick," comments Peter.

 

Matt flushes.

 

"Strip." 

 

Peter lets go of his dick so he can get rid of his clothes. He folds them up and places them on the sofa in a neat pile while Peter looks him up and down appreciately. When he comes to his glasses, he hesitates.

 

"Do want to keep them on?" Peter asks, softly.

 

Matt thinks about it for a moment, then decides no. He places them on top of his clothes. 

 

"You're so handsome, baby." 

 

Matt blushes, but he preens, too. He knows he's good looking. It's one of the few things he's never had complaints about. He flexes his biceps to show off, making Peter laugh.

 

"Alright, alright, you know you're pretty." Peter hops up from the sofa and strides over to Matt. "But I'm still going to tell you how beautiful you are. Just try and stop me."

 

"Why would I? It's good for my ego."

 

Peter slaps his thigh, making him gasp. 

 

"If you wanna show off so bad, pose for me while I grab the stuff." He has Matt kneel on a cushion with his hands behind his head, back arched, legs spread. Matt feels like a pinup. Peter's own personal centerfold to jerk off to. He imagines Peter coming on his face, and bites his lip, squirming.

 

"What are you thinking about so hard over there?" Peter asks from where he's rummaging through drawers of what Matt thinks are toys. 

 

"You. Coming on my face." 

 

Peter sucks in a breath like Matt hurt him, cupping his cock through his pants. A little smirk pulls at the corner of his lips. Nothing like a little tit for tat to get the blood pumping. Or the hands spanking. He wonders how much attitude he can get away with before Peter slaps him, or makes him lick his shoes. 

 

"You're gonna be the death of me," says Peter. He sounds resigned, but fond. Like he loves him. Matt quashes that seed of hope. This is just sex to Peter. It's something he has to be okay with, even if it breaks his heart. 

 

He's pushed out of his thoughts by a warm hand cupping his face. 

 

"What's wrong?" asks Peter. 

 

He sounds so gentle and concerned. The complete opposite of his normally brash demeanor. It's a side of him Matt has rarely seen; the only other times being when he was gravely injured or so upset he couldn't hide it. 

 

"We don't have to do this if you're uncomfortable." 

 

"I'm not uncomfortable. Just...in my head I guess." 

 

"Well, if you're sure..." Peter strokes Matt's chin with the pad of his thumb. "Is it against the bro code if we kiss?" The ridiculousness of the question snaps him out of his funk with a laugh. 

 

"Pete, shut up and dom me," laughs Matt. "I'm in danger of losing my hardon." 

 

Peter looks pointedly down at his dick with what Matt imagines is a deeply unimpressed expression. 

 

"I don't think your boner's going anywhere." 

 

It's true. With every inhale he smells Peter's sweat mixed with the heady musk of his arousal. The cool feel of his hands running over him, slowly heating up with every touch. If it wasn't so hot having Peter loom over him fully clothed he would want him pressed against him skin to skin. 

 

"So I've got some choices," Peter says. He holds out a length of rope for Matt to feel. It's made of a soft, flexible material that won't chafe his wrists. "I could tie your wrists with this, and leave you kneeling here. Or I can tie you to the St. Andrew's Cross and have my wicked way with you." 

 

"Can we try the cross another day? I kind of like kneeling like this. It makes me feel like a spoiled pet." 

 

"Okay, kneeling? Check. Rope? Check. Is there any other stuff you want, like toys or paddles, or anything like that?" 

 

"For this time, can we just use your hands?"

 

"Can do," Peter says with a lazy salute. 

 

"If you want me to spank you, you'll have to bend over the table or the sofa."

 

Matt shrugs. "That's fine." 

 

"Do you have a safeword?"

 

"...Karen." 

 

Peter doesn't react to the name, or is really good at pretending not to. He pulls Matt's hands behind his back, tying the rope around Matt's wrists. Matt tests the give of the rope, confident he could escape it if he needs to. Or snap it.

 

"I could get out of this easy, you know," Matt can't resist quipping.

 

Peter snorts.

 

"Yeah I know you can, Houdini. But do you want to?"

 

"No." 

 

"Then let's get started."

 

Peter warms him up again by jerking him off at a glacial pace that makes Matt want to bite him. So he does.

 

"Um, ow?" 

 

"You're going too slow. I want to come." 

 

Peter grips Matt's hair with his free hand and pulls his head back, sending sparks of pain through his scalp. Matt gasps.

 

"I don't think that's your decision." His voice loses its usual smokey rasp for something more velvet. A voice fit for a creature of the night. Matt shivers in delight. "You'll come when I say. Got it?"

 

"Yes," answers Matt, rolling his eyes. Peter pulls his hair again. 

 

"Yes, what?"

 

"...Yes, sir."

 

"Are you gonna be good for me?"

 

Matt juts his chin out defiantly. He's being bratty on purpose, testing the extent of Peter's tolerance for bad behavior. But somehow Peter flips it around on him.

 

"If you're bad, I won't punish you." Matt blinks in confusion. If he isn't going to hit him, what is he going to do?

 

The answer is tease him so much he dies.

 

Peter leaves light, sucking kisses all over his body, not using his sharp teeth to bite him like Matt desperately wants him to.

 

He teases Matt's nipples with his tongue, blowing on them. Matt whines as white hot pleasure courses through him. Peter brushes them with his thumbs, then gently twists them until Matt is aching with need. 

 

"You're so sensitive." 

 

Peter sounds delighted and a bit awed. He brushes his hands over Matt's body with the same light touch, making the hair on his body stand up. 

 

"Sir, please." 

 

"Please, what?" The amusement in Peter's voice is clear. If Matt had any pride, he would be bristling, but right now all he wants is relief.

 

"Please hurt me," begs Matt. "Please, I need it." 

 

Peter begins pinching his skin in different spots, hard enough he knows there will be red marks later, or better yet bruises. 

 

He scratches down Matt's chest, then slaps the inside of his thighs. 

 

"Sir, please spank me. I've been good. Please." 

 

Tears well up in Matt's eyes. He needs the extra pain to push him into that perfect place. Peter brushes his tears away.

 

"It's okay, baby. You're doing so well. Let's get you up, alright?" Peter pulls him up to standing and leads him to a cushioned table in the middle of the room. He bends Matt over it, then runs his hand down Matt's bound arms to give his hand a squeeze. Matt squeezes back. 

Peter trails his hand over his hip down to his ass, groping at the plush give of it. Matt wiggles back into his grip, hinting for Peter to get on with it. Peter chuckles.

 

"Everyone always talks about my ass, but I think it's just they haven't seen yours." Peter smacks it to watch it jiggle. Matt hides his face against the table, face as red as his hair.

 

"Peter..."

 

"Ah, ah, ah. Address me correctly."

 

Matt sighs.

 

"Sir, please spank me." 

 

"I would be delighted." 

 

At first the hits are light. Peter takes it slow, gradually hitting harder to test Matt's pain threshold.

 

"Harder," Matt demands. 

 

Peter lands a harsh slap that makes Matt moan. 

 

"Yes. Oh, that's perfect." 

 

The pain lights up his nerves like fireworks. In between slaps, Peter rubs the warm, aching skin, drawing the pain out even longer. Matt pants like he's been running. Tears run down his face. He feels so good. 

 

"That's twenty," murmurs Peter. He plays with Matt's fingers. "You ready to come?" 

 

"Yeah." Matt hums, rubbing his cheek against the table. He is safe and warm. The only pain he feels is the pain he asked for. And Peter is here. Touching him and being so caring. Coming feels like a bonus. 

 

"How do you want it?"

 

Matt thinks about it. He's had many guilty jerk off sessions about what those strange callouses would feel like inside him. The way the whirls of his fingertips would feel stroking his walls and his prostate while he clenches around them. 

 

"Finger me."

 

Peter strokes a hand down his thigh, then leaves to grab lube and gloves. 

 

"No, I want it bare," whines Matt. "I want to feel your hands."

 

"It's gonna make cleanup take longer." 

 

"Please?" 

 

Peter sighs. 

 

"Fine." 

 

Matt whines even more when he feels Peter untying his arms. 

 

"Hey, it's okay. I'm just moving them to the front. I want to see your face." 

 

A smirk pulls at his lips. He smells blood in the water. 

 

"You want to see me come on your fingers? See how bad I want it?" Matt turns over on his back, hissing as his ass presses against the table. He spreads his legs, arching his back. Tries to look inviting. "I'd look even better on your cock."

 

"I'm not fucking you with my dick this time," Peter says, firmly. Immovable. He laughs at Matt's exaggerated pout. "Oh c'mon, don't be like that. I want to, it's just I want to be able to do it in a bed." 

 

He leans over to whisper in Matt's ear, "And if you're really good, you can fuck me." Matt swallows. He really, really wants that.

 

Peter squirts lube onto his fingers, rubbing them together to warm it up. He drops his fingers to rub Matt's hole, making him gasp. Peter strokes his hole in slow circles, dipping his fingertips inside with shallow thrusts that make Matt aware of how empty he is. After teasing Matt for five minutes, he finally slips a finger inside to the knuckle. Matt closes his eyes, biting his lip at the feeling of the whirls of his fingertips stroking inside him. 

 

"How sensitive are you?" asks Peter.

 

"Very." He rocks into Peter's thrusts. "I need another." 

 

"I bet you like ribbed toys." Peter slips another finger in, curling them to rub Matt's prostate, making him moan. "Bet you can feel every ridge rubbing you inside." 

 

"Yeah," Matt gasps. Little "unh, unh, unh"s escape as Peter fingers him harder. His hips jerk with every thrust home. He feels his orgasm spiraling in his gut before he clenches around Peter's fingers, cum shooting up to his chin. 

 

But Peter doesn't stop. Just keeps fucking him with his fingers until Matt comes again. 

 

He makes Matt come over and over. One orgasm rolling into another until he's sobbing. Peter's fingers fuck into him relentlessly, milking him until he's coming dry, hips jerking in overstimulation.

 

"Unh, Peter I can't again." 

 

Matt winces as Peter pulls his fingers out, lube leaking onto the table. It's both hot and gross. He hears Peter unzip his pants and the wet sound of him jerking off. 

 

"Wait," Matt says, arching off the table. "Come on me. I want to smell it."

 

The moan Peter lets out is of agonized ecstasy. Cum stripes Matt's thighs.

 

"Untie me," Matt commands. Peter snaps to attention, cock hardening again as he hurries to untie the ropes.

 

Once Matt is free, he slides off the table and kneels down on the cushion from earlier, tilting his head up in the direction of Peter's face. He reaches for Peter's cock, slowly stroking it.

 

"Now I want you to come on my face and my tits." He licks Peter's cock from root to tip, flicking his tongue under the sensitive head to hear Peter moan. "I want you to make a mess of me. Then I want you to feed it to me after." 

 

Peter moans, high and desperate.

 

"I want that." 

 

Matt jerks him off fast and tight, twisting his hand around the head on the up stroke. 

 

"Matt, I'm gonna--" Matt closes his eyes and opens his mouth. Cum streaks his cheeks and hits his tongue in salty spurts. Another spurt hits his tits. Peter falls to his knees, pulling Matt into a filthy kiss. He sucks the cum from Matt's tongue with a desperate moan Matt echoes. 

 

They part with panting gasps, foreheads pressed together. Peter pulls away with a chaste kiss to grab aftercare supplies.

 

Peter wipes cum from Matt's face with a damp washcloth, then carefully rubs salve on his ass while he hisses. 

 

"Sorry babe."

 

"It's okay. I asked you to do it." 

 

"C'mere, I wanna hold you." 

 

Peter pulls him to the sofa, where Matt sits gingerly on Peter's lap, arms wrapped around Peter's neck. Peter strokes his hand over Matt's thigh in soothing motions. Soft lips press kisses on his neck. 

 

"That was really hot," says Peter.

 

"It was," agrees Matt.

 

"Do you wanna go out sometime?" Peter asks hesitantly.

 

Matt rubs his cheek against Peter's, a soft smile on his face. All of the tension from the past two months is gone. He feels relaxed, blissful. It feels like the most natural thing in the world to be here cuddling with Peter. He hopes there will be many more times like it.

 

"Of course."

 

"Then it's a date." 

 

Peter helps him dress, sending him off with another kiss and a promise to call the next day. Matt can't stop smiling all the way home.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on March 17 that he expects to hold a phone call with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin to discuss a U.S.-backed ceasefire proposal that Moscow has yet to agree to.

Russia has declined to immediately accept the 30-day ceasefire proposal, with the Kremlin pointing out that Ukraine stands to benefit more from the halt in military action.

Putin demanded that Kyiv first halt mobilization, military training, and foreign aid deliveries before Russia would consider halting military action.

According to experts, a month-long ceasefire would benefit both sides, allowing the warring parties to replenish and regroup their forces.

The battlefield situation, however, is developing worse for Ukraine than for Russia. Following Ukrainian troops' withdrawal from the town of Sudzha in Russia’s Kursk Oblast, experts who spoke with the Kyiv Independent said that Kyiv had a greater need for a pause in military action.

“Russia can regroup as well, but because Ukraine’s problems are so much centered on questions of manpower and Russia has more blood to spare, I think it is more urgent for Ukraine to replenish some understaffed front-line brigades and therefore, the ceasefire could benefit them more,” Sascha Bruchmann, a military analyst at the London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies, told the Kyiv Independent.

Kyiv could also get a respite from Moscow’s missile and drone attacks, which have been more devastating than Ukrainian retaliatory strikes deep inside Russia.

‘Conditions for Ukraine’s surrender’ — Why Putin’s demands for ceasefire make no sense

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s conditions for a ceasefire are unrealistic and tantamount to demanding that Ukraine disarm itself and surrender, analysts say. Putin said on March 13 that Russia was ready to agree to the U.S.-backed 30-day-long ceasefire in Ukraine but then followed by listing a…

Who would benefit from a ceasefire on the ground?

Following talks in Jeddah on March 11, Kyiv said it had agreed to a 30-day ceasefire proposed by Washington, provided that Russia did as well.

On March 13, Putin said Russia was ready to agree to the U.S.-proposed ceasefire with Ukraine but then followed up with a list of demands that Kyiv and Washington must accommodate in order for Moscow to proceed with peace talks.

The topic of a potential ceasefire is first on the list of the upcoming Trump-Putin phone call scheduled for March 18.

Meanwhile, both Ukraine and Russia have experienced problems with manpower and equipment.

Russia has been on the offensive in Donetsk Oblast since 2023, with its advance bogging down over the past month and Ukrainian troops even making gains near the towns of Toretsk and Pokrovsk.

Ukraine, however, has faced setbacks in Russia’s Kursk Oblast, losing the key town of Sudzha and withdrawing closer to the border.

Peter Layton, a military expert at the Royal United Services Institute, said that “both sides would try to rearm during a ceasefire and rush supplies forward to the front line."

“Ukraine was suffering from Russia’s manpower advantages, especially in Kursk (Oblast).”

Federico Borsari, a defense expert at the Center for European Policy Analysis, also argued that "the ceasefire would be beneficial for both sides, given the issues and problems both Ukrainian and Russian forces face."

However, Ukraine would still gain a bit more from a potential ceasefire.

Borsari said that a ceasefire "will allow much-needed (Ukrainian) unit rotations in key sectors of the front line (Sumy-Kursk, Lyman, etc), train new forces, strengthen defenses, and resupply units along the front lines."

"Ukraine was suffering from Russia's manpower advantages, especially in Kursk (Oblast), and as the two sides seem to be on a relative technological parity in the use of tactical drones, a ceasefire gives Ukraine time to carefully assess the situation on the front line, establish more anti-drone countermeasures, and train new forces," he added.

"Russia was advancing in Kursk (Oblast), so a ceasefire may be detrimental to any potential attempt to advance in (bordering) Sumy (Oblast) by exploiting Ukrainian vulnerabilities in that localized area."

Meanwhile, Bruchmann said that "there is an overriding political imperative, so the ceasefire approval in principle is good for Ukraine as it reinvigorates the U.S.-Ukraine weapons and intelligence partnership."

"Everything else pales in comparison," he added.

But in some areas of the front a ceasefire could favor Russia more than Ukraine at the moment.

"In recent days, Ukrainian forces have managed to regain sizeable chunks of territory near Toretsk while also stopping Russian advances southwest of Pokrovsk," Borsari argued.

"Russian forces in these areas were becoming overstretched and lacked sufficient mechanized support to continue their assaults. A ceasefire, therefore, would be more beneficial for Russia in this specific sector."

Just before sunrise on an otherwise sleepy weekend near Moscow, a Russian eyewitness of Ukraine’s kamikaze drone attack on the Kashira Power Plant appeared stunned, unleashing an expletive-laden tirade with his wife alongside. “They f***g attacked the power plant! Wow, honey!” he said in a video po…

Ukraine would benefit from a ceasefire in the sky

Meanwhile, Ukraine would clearly benefit from a halt in Russia's air assaults and bombardments, analysts say.

Russia has been attacking Ukraine's entire territory with drones and missiles on a daily basis. As a result, a large part of Ukraine's energy infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed.

Ukraine has retaliated, striking deep into Russia with drones of its own making and attacking border regions with foreign-provided missiles. Although Ukraine has caused damage to refineries, ammunition depots, and troops, the impact has been less devastating than that of Russian attacks on Ukraine.

The foreign-provided missiles are also running out.

"While Ukraine's long-range strike campaign against Russian bases and infrastructure has had some significant effects, especially in forcing Russian forces to distribute their assets in less efficient ways, it is undeniable that the impact of Russia's long-range strike campaign on Ukrainian society, industry, and the military has been greater," Justin Bronk, a senior research fellow at the London-based Royal United Services Institute, told the Kyiv Independent.

"This is due to the far greater strike weight, especially in terms of heavier cruise and ballistic missiles, that Russian forces can generate. Therefore, any ceasefire agreement covering long-range strikes and aerial glide bomb attacks would almost certainly be more advantageous for Ukraine than for Russia — assuming all other factors remain equal."

Borsari argued that "Ukraine would be able to significantly replenish its air-defense interceptors stocks and repair critical energy infrastructure, though Russia can also restock its missile arsenal for newer attacks."

Erik Stijnman, a military expert at the Netherlands Institute of International Relations (Clingendael), said that "both air forces do not have air superiority, let alone air supremacy over the contested battlespace."

"Removing the glide bomb out of the equation will probably benefit the Ukrainians a bit more," he added. "Although enforcing a ceasefire for air assets should be achievable, restricting or enforcing the use of drones is very difficult, as it is to attribute the use of drones to one of the parties."

However, Russia could also need a respite from Ukrainian drone attacks.

"What Ukraine's strike campaign has done is to significantly drive up the costs of aggression for Russia," Fabian Hoffman, a defense policy expert at the Oslo Nuclear Project, told the Kyiv Independent.

"The effectiveness of the strike campaigns has varied on both sides, so has their impact. At times, Ukraine's campaign was likely more effective, while at other times Russia's was."

Black Sea question

In the Black Sea, meanwhile, the ceasefire would give Russia some breathing room.

Ukraine has successfully targeted Russian warships with drones and missiles, pushing them out of large parts of the Black Sea. One of Ukraine's most spectacular successes was the sinking of Russia's flagship cruiser Moskva in 2022.

Ukraine's victories have allowed it to launch a corridor in the Black Sea in 2023 to ship its grain and other agricultural products.

Bruchmann said that "on the seas, (a ceasefire) might favor Russia slightly."

"I think the Russians failed to seize the initiative in the Black Sea for some time," he said. "Their navy is boxed in and did not find a solution against Ukrainian unmanned surface vehicles (USVs), which seem to have become more lethal and versatile."

Meanwhile, Borsari said that "overall, the ceasefire would not bring any significant change in the Black Sea."

"In the Black Sea, we have seen a progressive decrease in Ukrainian attacks against Russian naval assets due to Russia's adaptation and decision to move most of its assets further away and outside the reach of Storm Shadow/SCALP cruise missiles," he added. "Ukraine has used USVs and motherships with first-person view drones (FPVs) to destroy a few valuable air-defense systems."

"This would benefit both parties, but probably Ukraine more, as it has access to one route."

Stijnman said that "looking at operational advantages, a ceasefire on the sea will probably be the easiest to enforce, allowing the unhindered use of sealines of communications."

"This would benefit both parties, but probably Ukraine more, as it has access to one route," he added.

The prospects for a ceasefire at sea, in the air, and on land remain unclear, but both Ukraine and Russia could see it as an opportunity.

"Both parties will need to prepare for the next phase, whatever it will be," Stijnman said.

"The advent of ceasefire negotiations, ceasefires, and peace negotiations will create a window of opportunity to (re)gain a more advantageous position over the other (side), either in a defensive, offensive, or stabilizing operation framework."

"The difficulty with any ceasefire, however, is that all parties are unsure to what extent the other party will commit to the agreements made," he added.
