Weekly hydration facials at the Best Makeup Artist Salon in Ernakulam.
Avoiding new skincare products that could cause reactions.
Sticking to gentle exfoliation and deep moisturizing.

🎐6th House Synastry
: Acts of service
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
──────────────୨ৎ──────୨ৎ────────────────
Opener:
🍃 Someone's stellium in your 6th house & vice versa is honestly one of my favourite things to see in a romantic synastry chart. The amount of times I've seen this just written down as one person being enslaved to the other person is crazy.
🍃Of course it could be the case if other aspects line up or if this is a synastry chart between an employee and their boss but it's not going to be like that for every person reading. Especially not in a romantic/close relationship.
🍃Depending on the rest of your charts of course, this could also mean that both parties will make an excellent team i.e doing housework, handling chores, groceries and children if they have any.
🍃There is a theme of acts of service as a means to show how much they care for each other. At first, the stellium person/planet person will feel a natural pull to help the house person be it with the smallest things in their life. It sort of develops into a habit. As time progresses, this habit will also latch onto the house person as they see it is a natural way to reciprocate the appreciation towards the stellium/planet person.
🍃This is common in synastry charts of people who have been married for a very long amount of time.
🍃This is because the 6th house represents daily life. Having someone's personal planets in your 6th house means that part of their lives ( depending on the planet ) fits naturally into your daily routine. Common in couples who are mature & devoted to each other, not the fling type honestly.
Tumblr media
Planets in the 6th house
🧤 Having their Sun in your 6th house:
means that their identity, their ego, and self expression align with your daily life. They could enjoy being around you every day even when all you're doing together is laying around watching a streaming service. It's important for them to feel needed & appreciated by the 6th house person.
🧤 Their Moon in your 6th house:
You'll love having each other around to cope with the stress of your daily lives. The moon person uses acts of service as a way to show their closeness or appreciation to you. Feeling loved by being cared for.
🧤 Their Saturn in your 6th house:
You'll feel like they bring stability into your life. If you're the type to lose track of your medication, they will be the ones to remind you or even buy you one of those weekly pill capsules. How cute!
🧤 Their Mars in your 6th house:
The mars person will be a motivator & protector to the 6th house person. They may encourage you to be more physically active, taking care of your physical needs. Going on walks together, going to the gym together. They may also be quite possessive of your time i.e prefer not to share one on one time with other people.
🧤 Their Mercury in your 6th house:
They love giving you advice on how to improve your health, work ethics, and routine. They could unconsciously be thinking about your wellbeing when you are apart.
🧤 Their Venus in your 6th house:
They could love to have dates at home, spa nights, their perfect date plan would include a long deep soak in the bath with rose petals & bubbles in the water after a long hard day at work. Both will be on similar wavelength in terms of love languages. Bringing home flowers, building furniture to help you organise your stuff.
🧤 Their Uranus in your 6th house:
They might shake up your routine in a way. (i.e before you met you just stayed home all day and now you're going out with them more often)
🧤 Their Pluto in your 6th house:
They'll change the way you live, or you work. They could either make it easier i.e taking all the responsibility away from you by providing so you don't have to work, or add an extra person to your routine i.e them lol.
🧤 Their Jupiter in your 6th house:
They could bring luck into your work life, & may expand your to-do list i.e adding events into your life. You'll find that they are very supportive of you & may spoil you with material things. They may add emphasis into this aspect of your life i.e overindulgence in healthcare, over exercising depending on other aspects. They will act as a friend & guide to you when it comes to work, chores & health.
🧤 Their Chiron in your 6th house:
Their presence is very healing to the 6th house person. They may teach you whatever has plagued your mind about chores will not harm you anymore i.e growing up in a misogynistic household where you had to do all the chores. They could experience some fatigue in this area however. Perhaps they may be feeling overworked too if there is no reciprocation in terms of helping the other with housework.
🧤 Their Neptune in your 6th house:
Playing music could be a theme when doing housework together or when on dates together. There could be an emphasis on religion or spirituality between the both of you. Their presence may be very healing or vice versa in your routine.
Tumblr media
The difference i.e how this overlay plays out between the couple depends on the sign the 6th house is under.
6th house in the signs
🌬️ Aries:
They might be quite fussy when it comes to chores. Wanting everything to be done quickly & not necessarily tidy. They will be the first to do anything for the 6th house person however, even if they complain about disliking it.
🌬️ Taurus :
Very romantic. The planet person may love cooking for the 6th house person. They may prefer to do chores when they are together instead of doing it alone.
🌬️ Gemini:
The planet person may give a lof of advice to the 6th house person helping them find better ways to do their routine i.e teaching them better folding methods to save their time. They'll add more entertainment & enthusiasm to the 6th house person's routine.
🌬️ Cancer:
Very soft, caring & gentle. Both parties want to provide eachother with as much affection and comfort into their routine/daily life as possible.
🌬️ Leo:
The planet person takes a very romantic & flamboyant approach into caring for the 6th house person. Both parties will enjoy adding fun & romance into their daily routine.
🌬️ Virgo:
Similar to Aries in which they can act tsundere about doing chores, however, there is this natural affinity to wanting to do things for the 6th house person. Making sure everything is done perfectly. They want to be seen as valuable to their partner.
🌬️ Libra:
Similar to Taurus. Both parties make sure that nobody feels underappreciated. Meaning the 6th house person will do just as much as the planet person does for them.
🌬️ Scorpio:
When the planet person starts doing things for you, you better acknowledge that they consider you as someone to love in the long-term. They may prefer to do things that nobody else would do for the 6th house person.
🌬️ Sagittarius:
They may enjoy taking you out on spontaneous dates often. Getting you out of the house or out of a rut. When doing chores, they'll try to make it as entertaining as possible.
🌬️ Capricorn:
Sugar daddy/mommy vibes lol. The planet person will likely enjoy doing most of the traditional responsibilities in a partnership i.e paying for dates, taking care of the house.
🌬️ Aquarius:
Adding spontaneity into the 6th house person's life i.e unplanned dates. Being more rebellious & innovative in terms of work . Preferring to dress up strangely (costumes) at home while doing the dishes lol.
🌬️ Pisces:
They may romanticise their chores, daily life & routine. Adding more spiritual or religious aspects into the house person's life. They may prefer to indulge eachother in holistic healing over modern healthcare.

Our Girl (Bat Boys! x Female! Reader) Rhysand's Part
First part
AN: Sorry I've been a little MIA, I've been going through a lot and struggling to find time to write. But I just busted this out and I love it.
Summary (Series): When Rhysand becomes High Lord the boys find themselves too busy and too well known to visit their local pleasure house. So they hire the reader to to satisfy their needs.
This fic: Rhys seeks his revenge from the last encounter he had with you and his brothers.  HEAVILY BASED OFF THIS FANART
Warnings: sub/dom dynamic, dirty talk, degradation, cock warming, cum eating, (i think that's it, as always lmk if I missed anything)
Word count: 3,100
Tumblr media
The past week or so had been nothing but bliss. I spent every morning curled up on my chaise lounge reading a book and eating whatever home cooked breakfast that was brought to me. It was just as I had dreamed, silk pajamas and expensive champagne, sleeping in and spa treatments. 
Rhys and his “brothers” had been extremely busy the past couple of days, I hadn’t yet seen them since the first night we spent together. I hadn’t heard from them either, but as long as the gold in my account kept being accepted at every manner of boutique and fancy restaurants I didn’t much care when my services were needed.
I made my way through the townhouse and to my room, bags in hand and hair freshly done. I had spent the day at the hair salon and decided it would be a crime to return straight home with a fresh blowout, so I treated myself to lunch and of course some shopping as well. 
When I returned to my room I found a black box waiting for me on my too large bed. Setting the bags aside I made a beeline to the mysterious box tossing the lid open with little care. My eyes went wide at what I saw inside. A babydoll made of deep purple lace and a silky mesh lay in the box. It was beautiful, but that wasn’t the lingerie that made me lose my breath, it was the diamond necklace that lay on top of it.  
I picked up both gifts prompting a note to tumble out of the folds, 
Your presence is requested by your High Lord…
There was no doubt in my mind that Rhysand was the one to send such a lavish gift. While I’m sure Cassian and Azriel were paid handsomely I could buy a house or two with this necklace. 
I wasted no time changing into the attire Rhys had bought for me. I wondered if this would be a recurring thing for him. He had told Cassian and Azriel they could dress me however they pleased, but none had yet to take advantage of it. 
I tiptoe down the hall to where I can practically feel his power seeping through the door. He had been holed up in his office all week. There were times I thought to check on him, offer him some release or even some company, but I didn’t want to pester him and lose my paycheck. 
My hand lingers on the doorknob for a moment before closing around it and pushing the door open. I find Rhysand in the exact same place he was when I first came here, hunched over stacks of papers and drinking a whiskey on the rocks. 
“There you are,” he says low, rising from his plush chair, his presence making me feel small. “Do you know what I was reading over?” he asks, waving a piece of paper in the air. 
“No my lord,” I reply and I don’t miss the glimmer in his eye as I utter the familiar name he claimed to love so much. 
“This, little one,” he smirks, further closing the distance between us. “Is your bank statement.” he smiles tossing the paper on a nearby chair. 
My blood runs cold. Had I spent too much? Did I overdraft my account somehow? I was sure I hadn’t spent that much money in the past week. 
“200 gold marks at Rita’s for dinner last night,” he states, coming behind me pulling my hair to the side so he has access to my neck. 
“300 gold marks at a boutique, 100 marks buying lacy underthings and another 100 gold marks buying shoes.” he smirks, placing kisses on my neck as he lists every expense. 
“I-I’m sorry did I overdraft my account? I can return the shoes, or the ‘lacy underthings’ as you so call them?” I wince praying I’m not about to get fired. 
“If you take back those lacy underthings you will be fired,” he chuckles, resting his hands on my hips. 
I mentally curse myself for forgetting his ability to pry into my mind, but I stop kicking myself the moment he kisses that sensitive spot underneath my ear. 
“On the contrary, little one. You aren’t spending enough of my money.” he smiles, brushing a hand over the lace covering my breasts and up to my necklace. “I thought you could use some help.” 
“They’re beautiful my lord,” I breathe, feeling him lick a stripe up the column of my neck. 
“The next time I fuck you I want you dripping in diamonds and jewels that I bought you, is that clear?” he asks smugly and I swear if he wasn’t bracing his hands on my hips my legs would’ve buckled. 
“Yes my lord,” I breathe leaning into his touch as I feel him smirk against the shell of my ear 
“Good girl,” he praises me and I feel my stomach flutter once more. “Now I have unfinished business with you.” he growls and my eyes snap open as his hand traces around my necklace. 
“You see last time I was denied you, I had to watch my brothers fuck and fill what’s mine and I didn’t like it very much.” he says dangerously low as his fingers dance over the diamonds around my neck. “Who put this pretty little collar around your neck?” 
“You did my lord,” I breathe as he turns to face me. 
“That’s right I did,” he smiles tilting my chin up to meet his gaze. “And whose money do you spend all around town on expensive wine and shoes?” 
“Yours,” I say, my love drunk eyes boring into his. 
“Good girl,” Rhys smirks, dragging a thumb over my lips. “Now I have need of you but, I’m not done with work.” he says, dropping his hand from my face, making me miss the contact already. 
He strolls around the desk and sits down on his ornate chair again. Part of me wondered what his throne looked like if this was just the chair to his office. I hear his belt unbuckling as he frees himself from his slacks, standing tall, proud and practically throbbing for attention. 
“Come here little one,” he croons as he tugs his cock a couple times in his hand, getting it hard and ready for me. 
I approach him smoothly, I think he wants me under his desk with my mouth on his cock but the second I’m within arms reach of him I feel his hands on my hips. The next thing I know he’s slipping me on his cock like I’m nothing more than a cock sleeve for him. 
“There we go, nice and snug in there,” he smirks, nibbling my earlobe. 
I can hardly think or even breathe from the sheer size of him. I was almost embarrassed that he didn’t even have to touch me to warm me up for him. His words alone had me dripping wet for him making it easy for him to slide right in. 
“Now,” he chuckles, feeling the tension in my body. “I’m going to finish some paperwork and you're going to sit right here and keep my cock nice and warm alright little one?”
“Yes my lord,” I mewled, already sweating, needing him to move. 
“Good girl,” he smiles, pressing a kiss to my cheek. “No talking, no moving, and no touching yourself or you don’t get to cum.” 
I nod shallowly as he begins to resume his paperwork. 
It was probably the biggest exercise of self control I had ever practiced.  I knew how good it felt to ride Rhys, knew how good it felt when he lost control and pistoned inside of me until I fell apart under him. To sit here and be so close to that kind of pleasure? It was torture. 
The ticking of the clock on the wall only furthered my madness. I averted my eyes to where Rhys was scribbling on scroll, the scratching of a fountain pen equally as infuriating. The way his hand gripped the fountain pen, the veins standing out. How could his hands possibly be arousing? Was there a part of this male that wasn’t arousing to me? 
I pictured what those hands might do should they find their way on my skin. Where they might touch first, the ideas had my pussy clenching as I take in a sharp breath.
Rhys’ hand on my waist flew to my thigh slapping it hard, “Bad girl, I felt that,” he growled and I had to bite my lip not to whimper. 
The scratching of his pen on paper echoed throughout the room as I did everything in my power not to move, not to breathe or think about anything but being completely still. 
“150 gold marks at the perfumery huh?” Rhys croons holding the receipt for the perfume I bought two days ago. 
“Yes my lord,” I say, eyeing the receipt that had yet to bear his signature. 
“Let’s see what I purchased then,” he utters slowly, his nose nuzzles my neck inhaling the scent of the new perfume. “Mmm, very nice little one.” His voice is low and husky and I can’t help but clench around him once more. 
He growls, grabbing the back of my neck and hauling me up before slamming my front on top of his desk. On instinct I try to move but I’m held down by his hand on the back of my neck. His cock slips out of me, leaving me cold and empty, I’m half tempted to beg him to fill me again.
“What did I say about moving?” he snarls in my ear, making me whimper.
“I’m sorry,” I mewl, making him laugh. 
“You aren’t, but you will be,” he chuckles. 
His hand grips the hem of the light chiffon of the babydoll and tosses it over the small of my back so he can see all of me. I feel his hand smooth over my bum before spanking me hard. The sting makes me whimper until his hand comes back to soothe over the area. 
Without warning he buries himself inside of me, his balls smacking my clit. The guttural moan he lets out is nothing short of pornographic. I can feel the bulge in my belly that he leaves, his tip brushing my cervix like he did last time. 
He pulls out and moves in slow languid motions, making me feel every harsh inch of him. I’d like to think he’s warming me up but I know he’s warning himself up, this is all about him. 
“Gods your pussy is worth every single piece of gold I pay you? Do you know that?” he growls picking up the pace a bit. 
I whimper in response, feeling him move his hand from my neck to my hip to keep me from lurching forward so much. Out of the corner of my eye I see him shift the receipt from the perfume on the desk and grab a pen. Is he really signing my bills as he fucks me over his desk? The scratching of his signature on the page lets me know he is. 
“Every fucking penny,” he grunts before tossing the heavy pen on the desk. 
The thud of the pen is followed by another grunt before his hand goes to my upper back pressing me back into the desk again. His fingers on my hips and between my shoulderblades keep me from moving even an inch as he pistons his hips into me, a male gone feral. 
“Oh fuck Rhys!” I moan feeling my eyes roll to the back of my head. 
My fingers grab the edge of the desk trying to keep myself from moving too much, needing something to dig my nails into. The sound of skin slapping fills the room as Rhys’ breathing picks up with the rhythm of his thrusts. 
I clench around him and I receive a harsh slap to my behind once again. The sting startles me but fades into pleasure.
“Don’t you dare cum little one,” Rhys growls, increasing his pace. “You were a bad girl, bad girls don't get to cum.”
I let out a whimper at his words. I swear to the gods if this man leaves me trembling on the desk from not finishing with his cum leaking out of me I will lose my mind. I’ll run and find Cassain and beg him to finish the job, which I know he will. Azriel is another story. I think he might end up tying me up and getting off on me begging, hell I might get off on it too.
“Rhys please,” I cry as he presses my cheek further into the cool, smooth wood of the desk. Pens and picture frames rattling off from every thrust.
His hand comes down on my ass again as he pistons into me, searching for his own release. Long fingers dig into the skin of my hips leaving marks in their wake. 
“Are you going to beg little one?” Rhys laughs, thrusting harder making me too dumb to speak. 
My eyes roll to the back of my head as he finds that spot that drives me wild. I’m sure he’s not trying to, clearly just trying to get himself off. Yet somehow he’s fucked me dumb already and I’m a babbling mess bent over his desk.  
“Tell you what if you beg nice and pretty I’ll let you cum?” Rhys chuckles. “Can you do that for me, little one?” 
As if snapped out of the trance I’m in I feel my thoughts come back to my head. I’ll beg for him, I’d do anything for this male. I knew the second I met him I’d be utterly devoted to him if he just fucked me right, and by the cauldron he does.
“Please, please, please, please my lord,” I cry, feeling like a cock drunk fool. “Please let me cum!” 
Rhys chuckles, grabbing the back of my hair and angling my head so my cheek isn’t pressed into the wood anymore. I almost wished there was a mirror in front of us so I could see  the way he’s taking me.
“If you  make a mess, you’ll have to clean it up. Can’t have other High Lord’s coming in here and seeing my whores cum all over my desk,” he smirks fucking me harder. 
A sick part of me wanted just that to happen. Hell let the other High Lord’s watch him fuck me. 
“I’ll be good, I’ll clean up,” I rasp out feeling tears prick my eyes. “P-Please let me cum.” I breathe. 
It suddenly occurs to me that this is truly revenge from our last encounter when I wasn’t allowed to let him cum. He wanted me to beg just as hard as he did that night. 
His hand in my hair tightens, lifting my front off the desk. My back is forced to arch and somehow he’s able to fuck me even deeper in this postion. My eyes fly open and I’m met with a pair of raging violet ones. 
“Couldn't reach that pretty clit with your face pressed against the desk,” he smirks and before I can say anything his finger finds that sensitive pearl between my legs rubbing little circles in it. 
My mouth falls open as the coil in my stomach threatens to unravel. His fingers continue their tantalizing ministrations on my clit. The impressive length of his cock digs deep in my belly. I close my eyes for a moment, feeling overstimulated. The hand he has fisted in my hair shakes as he forces me to arch my back more. 
“Eyes on me little one,” he growls and when my eyes flutter open I see his violet ones staring back at me, eating up every reaction I give him. 
My mouth falls open as I slip back into that cock drunk feeling and his eyes drink me up, seemling getting off on my fucked out face. 
“Yeah you like that?” he smirks, not taking his eyes off me. “You like being my little cock slut?” 
The words falling from his lips are enough to have me coming undone for him in a string of moans and cries. Tears fall from my cheeks, and I swear I feel him lick one up before he slams into me one last time, sputtering inside me so deeply I can feel the warmth coating my insides. 
The grunts that fall from his mouth are enough to make me want more, but as he releases my hair and gravity pulls my body to the desk again I realize how spent I truly am. 
I hear the chair squeak behind me, signaling that he’s sitting down, no doubt watching his cum spill out of me as I haven’t gotten the energy to move. 
“Oh little one you’re such a messy girl,” he teases, running a finger up my folds collecting the mixture of our releases that are there. 
I mewl as I feel him graze my overstimulated clit. I pull my head up to examine his desk, pen cups and picture frames are knocked over, papers are lying on the floor. My eyes widen as I see faint claw marks from my nails in the wood of the desk. 
“What did I say about messes?” he tuts behind me.
 I let my body slink to the floor, hitting my knees at the edge of his desk. He runs a large hand through my hair from where he sits behind me and my eyes come face to face to the mess we made. 
Rising on my knees I let my tongue lap up the salty sweetness of him and that's right in front of me. His hand pushes my head down a bit forcing me to take every last drop. Only when the wood is spotless do I feel him thread his fingers through my hair and pull me back so he’s looking at me again. 
“Such a good girl for me,” he smiles, leaning down to give me an upside down kiss. “Let’s get you cleaned up little one, you’ll sleep with me tonight.” 
I’ll give the High Lord one thing, he fucked like a god, but what he really did well was aftercare. Always cleaning me up and getting me fluids. Holding my shaking body until I fell asleep. Something told me he longed for this type of intimacy as well. Cassian was the same that first night as well. Fetching me snacks and stroking my hair. The mysterious third brother, Azriel, had yet to show his cards. But something told me I’d be seeing him sooner than later.

The Free Use Hotel (Open RP; All Muses Accepted)
Tumblr media
At a central point in the dimensional rift sat a fancy resort, The Dimensional Resort. Made for beings able to traverse the multi-verse and dimensions, it offered a place to rest, relax, and even find pleasure. Monsters, mages, and normal humans all enjoyed their time here, able to mingle without being judged.
Your muse waited in front of the the front desk, getting handed a key by a beautiful, but stone faced blonde woman, "Here is your key. The mini fridge is charged, and any snacks will be charged to your account."
Tumblr media
"Also feel free to look through our free use catalogue." A magic pad appeared, which showed a list of women and men, "They have all agreed to be fucked by anyone who wants them. Please refrain from doing it in the dining center or the main lobby. The gym, pool, sauna and spa, among others, are fair game and feel no shame in fucking in public."
"Staff are not technically on the list, but many will service customers off shift. Please do not attempt to fuck them on duty or you will be removed from the premises. Feel free to keep that pad as it will be updated on new people."
(This is a more open RP. Please specify the muse and what form they are in. All my muses can be found on my pinned post. Be rough on them but keep it consensual. You can pick up to two muses at once. And my male muses are available for female muses.)

Meant to Be
Mob!Azriel x reader AU
A/n: I’m so excited to start this little series! I hope you all enjoy this and thank you for being patient with me. I know I’ve been all over the place lately lol. Also I might change the pov I use in the next fics but we’ll see.
Warnings: none
Series Masterlist
Tumblr media
As I’m just about to shut the front desk computer down, the glass door to the gallery swings open. Holding back rolling my eyes, I lift my head ready to tell whoever it is that we're closing. I stop, my lips partially open as my eyes meet the most gorgeous, soft hazel ones. On a beautifully sculpted face with a sharp jawline and soft raven hair. The words died in my throat. Changing to, “How can I help you?”
Gods I need to stop staring. If Feyre was still here she would be making fun of me for ogling the poor male while using my stupid customer service voice. He gives me a bright smile before speaking. “I’m looking for a new piece for my office. The walls are feeling a little bare.” Mother above he sounds like an angel.
I froze again. I’m technically not supposed to be selling paintings to clients, especially walk-ins and new ones. But my boss left me in charge for the rest of the day. It’s Gavin’s own fault he blew off work for a spa day. And I had to help Gavin list all the paintings, so I can absolutely sell one of these bad boys. I was amazed by how much Gavin didn’t know when these paintings came in. And he has the audacity to call himself an art collector.
“Absolutely. Are you looking for anything specific or I can show you a few of my favorite pieces if you’d like.”
As I stand I look around the room to see if anyone else is in the gallery. Two males with similar tan skin and dark hair stand by the door. The more muscular one slightly smirks at me before staring ahead again. I look back at the male in front of me, taking in his suit, the expensive watch, and the thick silver signet ring on his index finger gleaming in the light. Staring at the ring closely I can make out a family crest engraved on the flat surface. Morwood.
The male standing in front of me is notorious mob boss Azriel Morwood. Recovering quickly I smile up at Azriel, burying any kind of fear that was working its way up my spine. He isn’t here to hurt me. He’s here to buy art. Harmless.
Relaxing, I walk around the desk, gesturing to the left of the gallery. “This way then.” Azriel holds out his arm for me to take, that bright smile never once leaving his lips. Although it might not be the most professional thing to do, I loop my arm through his.
As we go from painting to painting Azriel seems to relax as well. We fall into easy conversation. At times it feels like we were childhood friends catching up. His flirtatious comments made me blush and fumble over my words. At the risk of being unprofessional again, I flirt back. There’s no denying the male is beautiful. I’m sure he’s kind under all of those dangerous layers. I can’t help the pull I feel toward him, to know more about Azriel. I should feel ashamed of this attraction. Azriel has done awful things but that feeling isn’t taking over.
“And that’s it for this collection. Is there anything else that’s caught your eye?” I ask, regretfully pulling away from Azriel as I snap back into my customer service voice. A stark contrast to the normal flirty tone I was just using. He seemed to take his time thinking. Azriel’s hazel eyes seem to twinkle as he looks at me. “That Blanch piece, I loved the two you showed me.” “Of course.” I lead him to the middle of the section where the two paintings hang side by side.
He looks at the two trying to decide between the two. “Which is your favorite?” I look at him, taken aback by Azriel Morwood asking for my opinion. “Well…I can’t choose between the two. Truthfully, I believe Blanch created these pieces to complement each other. They’re from two different collections but you can tell by the edge of the scenery they are meant to be together.” Azriel let out a thoughtful hum as he crossed his arms.
I try not to stare at him too blatantly but I just can’t help myself. His thinking face is cute. I can tell he’s concentrating. “I’ll take both.” My eyes widened. I'm so shocked I took half a step back. “I’m sorry?” I realize that it came out harsher than expected. “Sorry, I just - really? You want to buy both?” A half smile tugs at the corner of his lips as Azriel turns to face me. “If they are meant to be together it would be a crime to separate them.” There was something insinuating in that seductive tone of his. The hopeful look in his eyes gave it away. Something told me Azriel rarely let something like that slip. I give him a genuine half smile of my own. “Of course.”
Fifteen minutes and one giant check later Azriel had bought his paintings with the promise to come pick them up after they were framed tomorrow. Finally closing the gallery I went home and dreamed of him that night.
——
Walking down the sunny streets of Velaris I’m lost in thought about Azriel. How I want to run my fingers to see if those raven locks are truly as soft as they look. Those hazel eyes and how I never want them to lose sight of me.
My phone incessantly buzzing in my bag pulls me from my thoughts. I groan as I search for it in the clutter of stuff I threw in this morning. Fifteen texts from Feyre and more incoming light up the lock screen.
Girl get here soon
Gavin is piissseeddd
What did u do lmao
He won’t tell me, plz tell me so I know before him. I wanna taunt him with this secret info
Oh boy. He must not be pleased about the new client. I quickly type out a text telling her I’d be there soon. Shoving my phone back in my bag, my pounding heart seems as loud as my footsteps. I’m practically jogging by the time I enter the gallery.
Feyre looks up at me from the desk. A wild and confused look is on her face like she was just handed the winning lottery ticket. “He’s been on the phone with Benny all morning. I could hear him screaming, what did you do?” A nervous laugh sounds on the last word.
As I open my mouth to answer the door to Gavin’s office flings open, hitting the wall inside with a violent thud. “You!” He seethes. “Why didn’t you call me about the client last night?!” He screeches as he stomps over to the desk like a child. “What was I supposed to do? Say, sorry, come back later? It was Azriel Morwood.” Feyre lets out a dramatic gasp leaning back in the spinny chair. Her eyes bounce between us, waiting to see what wild statement her ears will be blessed with next.
“I know damn well who the client was, and you’re not supposed to make sales! Remember? Or has your sense of self importance around here made it hard for you to remember that you're a fucking intern! And you have no right —” a throat clearing makes Gavin stop his berating. His face went pale as his eyes landed on Azriel and the two males flanking him.
Azriel raises a brow giving Gavin a quizzical look. Gavin puts on a fake smile striding to greet our guests. “Hello Mr. Morwood! How can I help you today? Is there a problem with your purchase that I can fix?” He shoots me a glare that I don’t notice. All I notice is Azriel. It feels like the whole world has melted away and it’s just us.
“No.” His tone cruel and cold. “I would like to talk to y/n. Alone.” He emphasizes the last word by pinning Gavin with a look that would send anyone running. The shock on Gavin’s face is fucking priceless as he backs away murmuring an apology.
I slowly approach Azriel trying to suppress my grin. He watches me with a gentle gaze. That charming smile pulling on his lips again. “Hi,” Mother above that deep, gravelly voice gives me chills. “Hi.” I whisper back. “Your paintings should be ready soon. I saw the framer when I came in.” Azriel slowly shakes his head. “No, not that. Well, yes, I’m here for the paintings. But I wanted to ask you something.” I blink up at him curiously tilting my head. What could he possibly want from me?
“Are you free for dinner tomorrow night?”

Tumblr media
You rolled over in your bed to your phone vibrating, glancing at you and seeing “Hannniiiieeee” flash across your screen, you groaned loudly before swiping your finger across the screen.
“Yes, Jisung?” you groan out, shoving your face in the pillow, still half asleep.
“You slept in? Really? I'm outside your house, goof” he laughs into the phone as you shoot up out of bed.
“Shit! That was today?!” you say in panic, “I thought we left tomorrow! Fuck… Felix and his need to be everywhere early” you grumble into the phone as you struggle to put pants on one handed. “At Least i was already packed…” 
Han couldn't help but laugh under his breath. He knew that camping wasn’t something you were thrilled about but after some pleading and the promise of your favorite take out and a “spa night” as you called it, once the two of you returned - you agreed to take this trip with your friends. 
He’s pulled out of his thoughts as you basically fall out of your house, throwing your camping bag out on the front lawn as you come running out. “Sorry!” you shout, laughing as you run toward him leaned against his car.
 “Yeah… tell that to Chris when we’re late to pick him up because you decided to hit the snooze button one too many times.” he smirked at you helping you load your bags into the trunk as you shove him playfully.
Tumblr media
It was another 2 hours before you all reached the campsite, it was a nice drive. You’d lost service long ago resorting to playing the same games you recount playing in the car on road trips with your families as children, and just singing along to whatever he’d downloaded to his phone, much to the elder in the back seats disappointment when trashy pop tracks would come on and Jisung decided this would be the perfect opportunity to audition for American Idol. 
“Hey! I hope we aren’t too late…” you’d spotted your Felix as you’d  gotten out of Jisungs car, running up to hug him. “I may have… forgotten we left today” you chuckled under your breath as he smiled softly at you.
 “Nope! The others are still on their way” the blonde reassured you. You smiled at him as Jisung came up behind you. 
“Stop flirting and grab your bags, sleeping beauty” he smirks at you before heading into the cabin. You can’t help but roll your eyes 
“You sleep in once and it’s the end of the world!” you laugh before heading over to grab your bags out of his trunk. 
You make your way inside the cabin as you find Jisung already sprawling his things over the room, making himself comfortable as you look at the slowly growing mess covering the cabin. You sigh and go put your own bags away, unpacking what you would need for later tonight. 
Tumblr media
As the sun started to set, you all gathered outside Felix carrying with him the things for s’mores while Minho and Seungmin brought out the coolers full of drinks for the evening, everyone gathering around the fire pit that seemed to crackle and blaze as the night drifted on. You found a spot you deemed perfect for optimal s’mores making, but in reality it felt like the warmest, directly in front of the large fire. 
Jisung sat down next to you, handing you a spiked cider and you smiled softly, “you remembered I liked these?” you chuckled softly
 “What kind of friend would I be if I didn’t have your quirks memorized?” he smiled at you.
You found your mind wandering, wandering to the way he looks lit up by the bonfire, the gentle gestures and the… the fucking cider? Is that why your mind was turning to mush? No, you shook your head as if trying to shake the mere thought of having more than a friendship with Jisung, he was doing a kind gesture for you. 
“Does anyone have any Ghost stories?” Seungmin’s voice brought you back to reality as you reached for the marshmallows.
“Really? We’re in the middle of the woods and you wanna tell urban legends and ghost stories?” Changbin grumbles and the younger boy. 
“Oh c’mon! It’s not a camping trip without 'em’! Plus it’s October, it is prime time to get the shit scared out of you in the middle of the woods” Seungmin laughed back at him. 
The older boy couldn’t help but give a hard side eye at the younger as Chris chimed in,
“I have one about a vanishing hitchhiker that my little brother likes to tell” he smiled.
Changbin rolls his eyes and readjust in his seat as Chris starts to rumble out some crazy story about some guys who picked a girl up off the side of the road headed to a dance, the same story you’ve heard hundreds of different versions of from various podcasts. 
Tumblr media
You weren't sure if it was the alcohol or the warmth from the fire but you found your eyelids growing heavy, so you leaned on Jisung, the sudden weight catching him off guard. He looks down at you, smiling. 
“Sleepy?” He says softly down at you.
“Yeah…” you mumble softly.
“You know,” he wraps his arm around you in an attempt to make you more comfortable. “You can always head to bed if you’re getting tired.”
“Don’t wanna…” You quietly whined, adjusting yourself to rest more on his shoulder causing him to smile. “You’re here,” you looked up at him, smiling softly.
You and Jisung had been friends for years, you’d been randomly paired up for a science project with him in the beginning of high school and the rest was history. He was the shy nerdy boy in the back of the class who didn’t talk much, or so you thought, when you guys would hang out after school to work on the project he blossomed into a social butterfly. 
You quickly learned he was musically gifted, he constantly scribbled song lyrics into a notebook in study hall or when he had free time, you’d learned of his travels when he was younger, but most importantly you learned about him. He was shy, usually nervous but with people he cared for he thrived. 
As you’d gotten older and gotten into college, miles apart from each other, you never let that stop you. As you grew up you seemed to grow closer, maybe too close, and your friends seemed to notice. 
Just as they did now.
You two were cuddled up in front of the fire, you felt comfort, at home. The smell of the fire and its crackle, Jisungs faint cologne lingering in your nostrils, the banter of him and his friends as he reminds you faintly of his presence by rubbing small, slow, circles on your side. 
But you guys were just friends, right? Just really close friends.
Tumblr media
Han had woken up pretty early the next morning, making his way out into the kitchen to make himself coffee, hoping to dull the slight headache from the night before. When he’d reached the kitchen he found Minho cooking breakfast. They'd exchanged greetings before Minho chuckled. 
“What's so funny?” Jisung looks over at the older boy.
“You really don’t see it?” He quips
“See…what?” Han runs his hand through his hair, trying to rack his brain.
 “You and Y/N,” he starts as he moves to flip the bacon in the pan. “I know you said the two of you have been friends for a while, but ‘Just Friends’ don’t act the way you two do.” He looks up from his food at the younger boy. 
Han looks away, the steam from his coffee fogging up his glasses as he looks away, a slight blush appearing on his cheeks.
 “We’ve just been really close for a long time, they were there when I felt like I had no one else.” he mumbled.
Minho just smirked “Whatever helps you sleep at night man, but I think you should make a move especially if they have you blushing like that”  Jisung just stared back at him, speechless. “Now come one, I’ve made breakfast.” 
Tumblr media
You found yourself in the same position later that evening, sat by Jisung as the sun started to set, and your friends carrying on the conversation around you as the faint crackle of a bonfire filled the silence between conversations. 
You’d notice one voice missing whenever you’d lean in to add to the conversation, Jisung goes quiet. You noticed him studying your movements  out of the corner of your eye. Did you say or do something to hurt him? 
You’d sighed softly, just as you were about to say something, a voice rang out. 
“Ah man!” You heard one of the boys cry out, “We’re all out of beer!”
As you looked over, you found Changbin pouting at the empty cooler.
“I can go get some more,” you told them, moving to stand up, “I want to grab something from inside anyways.”
You made your way inside as you started rummaging around the kitchen, grabbing the room temperature bottles of spirits as you heard the door slide open, standing back up you see Jisung entering the room. 
“Hey you,” you smile softly before reaching down to grab more stock. 
Minho’s words had been ringing in his head all day, maybe he was right, maybe it was time to admit to himself that the person he’d met in science class nearly 10 years ago had changed him, and for the better, and maybe he’d fallen head over heels for them without even realizing it.
“Is everything okay?” your words brought him back to reality.
“Yeah I.. I just wanted to see if you’d like some help,” he stammers, walking closer to you. 
You sigh, sitting the bottles down on the counter.
“Did I do something?” you ask softly, looking up at him “Ever since we’ve been outside it's like you’re… ignoring me.” 
“No - I…,” He pauses, sighing softly, “I… don’t know how to say this…” 
You pause, looking in his direction your heart sinks, what was he about to say? In all the years you’d known Jisung, he’s never rendered speechless, even in times it was probably a wise decision for him to be quiet. 
“I… I think I’m in love with you.” 
What?
He stares back at you waiting for a response but the longer he looks at you the brighter your cheeks burn. In ten years you’d never imagined this, the shy boy at the back of science class you’d been forced to work on a project with, confessing his love to you in the middle of his friends cabin.
“What?” you quiz, softly.
“I… I’m in love with you.” He chuckles, almost as he’s reassuring himself.
You smile, almost as if you didn’t believe him, when in reality you were so glad. You’d kept it a secret for months, the feather light touches, the way he always looked out for you. You’d be lying to yourself if you tried to deny the way it made you feel, your friend's words echoing in your head when you’d tell them about your recent ‘Outing’ with him, the way you have each other saved in your phones, the way he’d do whatever you wanted at the drop of a hat.
“Just friends don’t act this way.”
You, finally, met his gaze. The panic had set in for him too, he had no idea what your silence ment, did he upset you? Had he thrown away years of friendship because he was in love with his best friend? Just as he’d accepted his fate, ready to spew apologies he was cut off. 
You’d taken every last ounce of confidence and reached up, placing a soft kiss to his lips, leaving him breathless. His only response was to reach out and hold your face gently in his hands, like he was holding the world's most precious piece of art, and to him he was, because he was finally holding you. 
You pull back first, a newfound sparkle in your eyes as you stare back at the fluffy haired boy as he smiles from ear to ear. 
“I think I'm in love with you too.”

Beauty Diary
Chapter 2: Building A Maintenance Routine
Let’s girl talk about how to build a maintenance routine, how to schedule, when to book appointments + understanding medical esthetic procedures.
How to Build a Routine:
Understand yourself and your beauty needs/desires. Do you want to start getting manicures? Are there any skin concerns you want to address + treat? Any enhancements you want? Are you ready to start keeping up with your hair? Once these questions are answered you can start building a routine!
Know what services can be done at a salon or at home.
Research for the best salons and spas near you
Take note of what you learn about yourself from your appointments so you know how to keep up at home. Ex.) Your skin type, curl pattern, hair porosity, ingredients that work best for you + your skin undertone.
List out what services you want done, how often you want them done and what you’re looking to achieve after each service.
Set beauty goals and plan to save for special beauty services.
Facials:
Basic facials should be done every 4-6 weeks.
When it comes to medical spa procedures they should be done at least once a month!
Here’s a short list of my favorite medical spa treatments to gain an understanding of what they are and how they benefit you.
Hydrafacial: a non invasive procedure that combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration and antioxidant protection by removing dead skin cells and impurities while simultaneously delivering moisturizing serums into the skin. (Skin type: ALL) should be done every 4-6 weeks.
Chemical Peel: a solution applied to the face to remove dead skin cells and stimulate the growth of new cells. (Skin type: ALL. Darker skin complexions can experience post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) should be done once a month.
Microdermabrasion: a minimally abrasive instrument is used to gently sand your skin in order to remove the thicker, uneven outer portion of skin. Best for light scarring, discoloration, sun damage and stretch marks. (Skin type: Skin prone to acne scars, age spots, unevenness, discoloration and sun damage.) should be done very 4-8 weeks.
PRP aka Vampire Facial: a procedure that involves drawing the clients blood, spinning it and injecting it through microneedling to increase collagen, reduce fine lines/wrinkles, improve moisture retention and enhance skin tone + texture. (Skin type: typically ACNE PRONE SKIN) should be done every few weeks and maintenance sessions are done 2-4 times a year.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hair Removal
There are many types of hair removal procedures to invest your time and money into. Waxing, sugaring, threading, laser hair removal and electrolysis. It’s best to go in for a hair removal service when your hair is the size of a grain of rice.
Waxing: every 2-5 weeks. face, underarms and bikini can be done every 2-3 weeks. hair length should be 1/4 of an inch.
Sugaring: every 2 weeks. hair length should be at least 1/8 of an inch.
Threading: every 2-3 weeks.
Laser Hair Removal: every 4-6 weeks done in about 4-6 treatment sessions. maintenance treatments can be done once every 6-12 months.
Electrolysis: every 2-4 weeks done in about 8-12 treatments. can take any where from 8 months, 12 months and 2 years to complete the treatment.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Cosmetic Injections
Cosmetic injections tend to be a yearly treatment routine. I recommend investing in packages in order to get more treatment sessions for a certain amount of money. They can also include a free treatment. Packages can be used for medical esthetic procedures such as laser hair removal packages, body contouring packages and tattoo removal packages as well.
Participating in Botox parties are also a good way to get a discount and purchase Botox packages. I used to assist hosting botox parties which included champagne, mimosas, cute desserts and discounts for clients if they brought a friend!
Botox: once every 4 months.
Lip Filler: once every 12-18 months.
Chin Filler: once every 1-5 years.
Non Surgical Rhinoplasty: once every 6 months.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Nails
During the summer time is when I go into the nail salon more often than usual to keep my nails and toes ready for the sunshine.
Gel Manicure: every 3-4 weeks between fills.
Gel Pedicure: 2 weeks to 1 month.
Acrylic Nail Set: filled every 2-3 weeks. every 8 weeks to replace fake nails.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hair
Your hair should be healthy and kept in good maintenance by using an effective salon routine.
Hair Color: every 4-6 weeks between each hair coloring session.
Haircut: every 6-8 weeks or every 3-4 months.
Extensions: glue and tape extensions every 4-8 weeks, sew-in extensions every 6-8 weeks and micro-link extensions every 2-3 months.
Wig Installations: every 1-6 weeks.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Other
Lash Extensions: every 2-3 weeks.
Lash Lift: every 6-8 weeks.
Lash Tinting: every 4-6 weeks.
Bow Tinting: every 4 weeks.
Brow Lamination: every 4-6 weeks.
Microblading: touch ups 1 or 2 times a year.
Appointment Layout:
Week 1: hydrafacial & extraction session.
Week 2: eyebrow wax & tint.
Week 3: hair cut & color.
PSA:
How often you get any procedures done depends on you, your budget, your skin, your hair, your nails, your stylist, your esthetician or your health care provider. Please build a beauty routine that fits you and your life style the best!

Gemini - You were likely in the mood to learn or at a time where things were moving fast, quick thinking, communication could be involved
Cancer - Perhaps you were close to your mother at the time, or at home or just your hometown. Being with family, doing something normal.

Sagittarius - you could be in the mood to learn about something, or even teach something. Could be related to knowledge, whether spiritual, factual or occult. Enlightening people, gaining exposure/experience. You could also just be in the mood to travel. You could also be expanding something in your life at the time.
Capricorn - working. You'll be focused on your ambitions, your goals and your personal priorities. Your professional life is the main agenda here.
Aquarius - you could be feeling more rebellious or experimental, wanting to try something new. Could be related to the internet or your community, or just new experiences.

It's finally done cooking, my sims gameplay ideas list! After scouring all types of sites, generators, lists, and my brain for ingredients, I've come up with a list stew that hopefully will spark some inspiration for your sims gameplays!

SERIES MASTER LIST
Part 6
---
As Tanya got closer and closer to him, Joel didn’t move. She took full advantage of this and began asking him if he’d like to get her number, she would love to spend more time with him, get to know him better, a hopeful smile on her face.
He huffed, “I don’t think so. Besides, aren’t you with George over there?”
Her smile faltered. She’s not used to being called out on her actions. Usually, people either take what she has to offer, or simply ignored her. This man just told her, as directly as he could, that he was not interested. This was new. He couldn’t be serious, though, right? Surely he’s playing hard to get?
George returned. She immediately pulled back from Joel. He finished his drink, told George he would think about his proposal, grabbed his jacket and left.
She caught up to him at the elevators, pressing herself close to him, asking him if she could join him for a nightcap, maybe she could help him change his mind about getting her phone number?
He got into the elevator when it opened, and waited for her to get in. She very quickly followed and waited for him to use his key card to access the penthouse floor. He pressed the spa floor instead, followed by the close button, and immediately exited the elevator. The last he saw of her that night was her disappointed face glaring at him through the closing door.
When he got back to the penthouse, it was already 11 at night. His eyes were immediately drawn to the couch, where you were sleeping, the TV on low volume, a bowl with remnants of a packet of ramen on the coffee table, next to the room service menu.
He sat on the edge of the coffee table, tempted to brush your hair off your face. He heard Tanya’s little story, but somehow, he didn’t believe her. She wasn’t telling the truth. The story seemed garnished, exaggerated, obfuscated. He watched you sleep, calm seeping through his bones. His phone beeped, and you stirred, before sitting up completely.
“Hey, you’re back. How did it go?”
“Why didn’t you sleep in your room?”
“I was waiting for you. Wanted to know how your speech went. Everyone seemed to be very excited about it.”
“You didn’t have to do that, I’m sure you’re tired.”
“No, really, I want to know,” you said, patting the couch for him to take a seat.
He took the seat, scrunched his face a little, asking you if you’re sure. It’s so boring, he said. You insisted anyway. He told you a simplified version, the gist of his speech, which turned into you asking how he got into deep sea fishing. Joel told you his story, all the while unable to believe how attentively you were listening to his undoubtedly boring story.
“Wow, you must’ve seen a lot. It sounds scary, but I’m sure it was fun too. You must have a lot of stories. What an experience it must be.”
“Well, you must have them too,” he said, eager to hear your story.
You shrugged, “I haven’t left the town most of my life. Not sure what kind of stories I can tell you, unless you count annoyed customers shouting at me asking why they had to assemble their own furniture at home a story.”
He laughed. His eyes drawn to the ramen bowl you were picking up to wash.
“Hey, why didn’t you order room service?”
You huffed, “Have you seen the prices on the menu? How much they charge you for two pieces of bread with bits of meat and veggies in between? No thank you.”
“I told you to charge it to the room.”
“It’s not about who’s paying, Mr Miller. It’s the ridiculousness of it all.”
“Joel.”
“Then, it’s Addie, Joel.”
As you were washing the bowl, he went into Sarah’s room and kissed her goodnight. He waited until you got into your own room before going into his own.
“Good night, Joel.”
“Good night, Addie.”
It was 1 am when Joel finally got into bed, but he woke up the next morning feeling extremely rested, a smile on his face, excited to spend another day getting to know you better.
**********
The next morning you were late for breakfast, someone refused to have the face paint taken off, and was upset when you told her she could only be a butterfly one day at a time. Maybe she could be a butterfly again another time? Let’s just say there was a lot of coaxing and pouting going on. Thankfully, the pout went away after you found an activity for her – a vendor teaching kids to do pottery. They will process the items the kids make and mail them to you once they were done. She said she wanted to make Daddy something.
You took a seat next to her to help her, but she pushed you away, no Miss Addie. It’s a secret! You cannot see! Okay, little boss, you said. You’ll sit somewhere else if she can promise to always stay where you could see her, okay? Okay, go now, pleeease…
You took a seat a few stations down from her, and she whispered something to the lady who was helping her. The lady then took a freaking curtain barrier and placed it so that you couldn’t see what she was working on. Okay… someone was taking this whole secret thing waaay too seriously.
You made a bowl for her, just because. She was squealing and giggling a lot, and you had to fight the urge to take a peek. You finished your bowl and waited patiently as she took her time creating whatever masterpiece she was making. Once finished, you had to coax her into leaving the vendor, telling her we have to come back tomorrow, the items need to dry before you could paint them. Promise? She asked. Promise, you said.
The two of you spent the day alone, the conference was at its peak and the rest of the family was busy. You went back to the penthouse for her nap, and you spent the time googling for houses to rent, all of which were shockingly over your budget. You took a piece of paper and did some calculations. You could pay the rent and utilities, you’re sure, but you’d have to eat your own hair to survive. No matter, you’ll figure it out. Your work at the daycare ended at 530, so maybe… a second job at night? On the weekends? So, you factor in that possible income, and phew… now, you could possibly eat, and with a shit ton of luck, perhaps you could go back to school in say… fifty years?
Sigh.
You heard Sarah stir and ran into her room to check on her. You spent some time lying in bed with her, listening to her giggles and stories about how Ben was mean to her, pulling Apple’s horn and ears, but it wasn’t fair since the rocking horse he had was made of plastic and she couldn’t do the same to it. Oh, how wonderful to be so young that your biggest problem was a boy pulling your plushie’s ears.
She fell back asleep after a while and walked back into the living room to Joel standing near the dining table, buttoning his shirt up. He had spilled some juice on his shirt and had to come up to change. You immediately cleared the table and crumpled the piece of paper you had been scribbling on, moving on to the kitchen to cut Sarah some fruits for when she wakes up from her nap. He didn’t need to see that. And you… you didn’t need to see him buttoning his shirt up, looking so…
Anyway. Cutting fruits. For Sarah. Who was his daughter. Joel’s daughter. Joel, who was your boss. Who was paying you to look after his daughter. Yep. That’s who he was. Your boss. Your very hot, sexy boss.
Stop it.
**********
Joel finished buttoning up his shirt, went in to check on Sarah real quick, and told you he’d be back after the gala dinner. You gave him a quick nod and told him to have fun. He had come back to the room while you were in Sarah’s bedroom. He stood by the door and listened to you listening to his daughter complaining about Ben, a name he had heard every now and again, the boy Sarah claimed was her ‘ememy’. He smiled, a warm feeling spreading through his body at his daughter’s huge life problems, but more so, the way you were entertaining her little thoughts, as if her words were the most important things that could ever be said, and her problems were worthy of your time.
In the short time he had seen you interact with his daughter, he had never seen you dismissive towards her once, something her own mother did on reflex. He remembered her barking at him or Mrs Adler to take her away every time Sarah tried to show her a drawing, or wanted a hug, or was curious about her make up. He remembered feeling hurt for his daughter, who couldn’t understand why her own mother hated her so much.
But he also remembered the first time Liz did that, and the ensuing tears that escaped Sarah’s eyes was the push that made him decide he no longer wanted to try in the marriage. He had realized, since then, how he was nothing more than an ATM for her. She didn’t even look at him at her sentencing, having plead guilty to attempted murder – she was never going to get away with it, the evidence was too overwhelming, literally caught red handed at it. It was as if he didn’t matter at all to her if she couldn’t get what she wanted from him, which was for him to die and for her to get his insurance money.
He shook the thought of Liz out of his head. Right now, what he wanted out of his life, was to live a happy, fulfilling one, with Sarah and … no, with Sarah. Full stop.
He had to stop his thought from continuing that sentence. Stop it. You’re not interested in him that way.
He went out to the living room and noticed a piece of paper on the dining table. Thinking it was an itinerary for Sarah’s day, he looked at it. Not much was on it. It was just a bunch of numbers; numbers that ended with a deficit. For the first time since he saw her at the elevators, he thought of what Tanya had said. Joel was wrecking his brain on how to help you out on this without making it obvious, he needed more information, obviously, but he wanted to help you out, without offending you, of course.
He turned the other way when he heard you come down, focusing instead on buttoning his shirt up. He felt guilty for snooping, especially since you immediately crumpled the paper up and got rid of it. But you didn’t comment on anything.
Tanya hadn’t bothered him at all today, but he did catch sight of her before the first session began, whispering conspiratorially to Tess, who had her go-to passive face on, staring Tanya down as she spoke. She simply turned her attention on him when he approached, leaving Tanya mid-speech to talk to him about his itinerary that day. He caught Tanya doing the same to Tommy and Maria throughout that morning session, both doing exactly what Tess did when they saw him. He didn’t know what she said to them exactly, possibly some version of what she told him, but he was not worried. He knew these people inside out, and they were smart enough to judge someone on their own, and someone like Tanya just oozed contempt, and he was sure they could see it.
Of course, they told him what she had told them, which was an even more exaggerated version of the story she had spun for him. He didn’t need to know the real story to know she was exaggerating. He didn’t get to where he was financially without having women throw themselves at him to get at his funds. He could tell right away what Tanya was up to, but he was curious as to why she needed to badmouth you in the process. Most women settled for trying to get him in bed, even if he clearly was married then. This one, though. She was vindictive.
That night, you were still up when he got back to the penthouse. More to do with the fact that he came back early, eager to spend time with you, actually. He was sure you were not still up waiting for him. He asked you to join him for a nightcap after kissing Sarah goodnight. You sat with him but settled for water instead of anything from the bar.
He tried to subtly learn more about you that night. But you were a master at deflecting, he found, he ended up knowing a lot more about Allie than yourself. Still, any excuse to talk to you was fine by him.
He went to bed deflated, knowing that this was the last night he would get to have that kind of talks with you, knowing he would miss it. It was nice, the idea that someone aside from his own family was excited to see him after a long day at work.
**********
The next morning, you took Sarah back to the pottery place, and Joel was strictly forbidden by his own daughter from joining the two of you. Sarah went back to secrecy once you got there, and you sat down, painting your bowl as she finished her mystery project. Once done, they asked for the address the items would be mailed to, and you gave them the daycare address. Sarah was practically vibrating from excitement when told she should get the items within the next ten days or so.
Joel, Tess, Tommy and Maria waited for you and Sarah at the beach. Tess told them all what her friend at your old workplace had told her. Joel started to argue, he never told her to do that, but she calmed him down, saying that she asked this guy questions since Tanya said so many out of character things about you. She just wanted confirmation that Tanya was a snake. And she’s glad she asked, because now they have answers.
“So, what that woman said was partially true. She twisted a lot of it though. The guy I talked to said she only lost her job because someone in-house, we can guess who that someone was, lodged an official complaint due to her leaving early – Allie was not doing great at the time, and she had used all her PTOs. The others were covering for her, looking the other way. But the company had to act since it was an official complaint. Also, she didn’t lose her house exactly, she had to sell it, to pay for Allie’s medical bills, she lost their insurance when she lost her job. It nearly wiped her clean. I don’t know where she’s living at the moment, but according to Julie, she’s not homeless. And as far as she and this guy I talked to knew, Addie doesn’t drink at all. Never have. She won’t tell me anymore than that, understandably. You should talk to her, ask her for the truth.”
Joel made a mental note to do just that, figuring out how to go about it without making you feel uncomfortable. He couldn’t afford to make it awkward with you, given how important you were to Sarah.
**********
The journey back to the daycare to drop you off was among the saddest journey he’d ever taken in his life. He didn’t want to say goodbye. It’s ridiculous, really. He would see you again when he dropped Sarah off the next day. But it wasn’t the same, was it? He liked seeing you around the house, which the penthouse was for the last three days, pottering about with Sarah. It felt… normal. It left a sense of longing in him. He wanted more.
Sarah hugged you tight when he dropped you off. You assured her you would see her tomorrow, but Joel had still had to pry the crying little girl off you, his heart feeling heavy. In his mind, he was prying himself off you too, he really didn’t want to go.
You placed your suitcase in your trunk and told him you were going into the daycare to use the bathroom. He told you he would wait. He won’t leave until you do. Oh crap. So you had no choice but went in, used the bathroom and came back out, driving towards your old neighbourhood before turning around when he took a different turn to get home.
He must never know you lived at the daycare.
He had transferred your fees for the weekend into your account that night.
Three thousand dollars.
Holy shit. For three days? You lived in the most luxurious place you had ever stepped foot in, ate glorious food, and he paid you that much?
Oh no… did he know? About your financial woes?
No…
You made a mental note to talk to him about it the next day.
**********
He checked his credit card charges when he got home. There were no charges. You hadn’t spent on anything that couldn’t be charged to the room, and even that, when he looked at the bill, you only charged the room for the activities you did with Sarah. The face-painting – only one charge, which meant you paid for your own face-painting. You paid for your own headband and wings too. The amusement park – one charge. The kid’s ticket. You paid for your own. The pottery lesson – one charge. One child’s rate. You paid for your own. He was shocked, to say the least. He would’ve thought you would just charge everything to the room, since you were only there to take care of Sarah. It should go without saying that he would be okay with you charging your tickets to him too, no?
He scoured the bill for charges for the fruits and snacks you bought for Sarah. There was none. Not even for the ramen he knew you ate.
This was alien to him. Never had he given someone his credit card and access to charges to his room without someone taking advantage of it. Not since he got to where he was now. Liz once maxed out a card with one purchase. So this, you not taking his money for anything that wasn’t to do with Sarah, was perplexing to him, especially since he now knew of your financial woes.
So he transferred the money to you.
You sought him out the next day, telling him he had overpaid. He reasoned that you were there 24 hours a day, on duty, caring for his daughter. It’s the appropriate amount. To be fair, no amount of money could be placed on how happy his daughter was during those three days, and it was all thanks to you. Please take it, he insisted. You relented, but only after trying to get him see reason.
He asked to use the bathroom the next day, and on his way out, he a small room next to the office. Your suitcase was placed on a rack, and the shawl he saw you wore that weekend was on the neatly made single bed.
Did you live here?
He spent the week thinking about this. He drove past the daycare on the weekend, your car parked in the lot the whole time. When he saw your car still there the next weekend, he couldn’t help himself anymore. He went in and knocked.
The shock on your face upon seeing him there that Saturday night made him feel so guilty. You let him in, feeling caught, worried that he was going to pull Sarah out, or report Julie for this. This living arrangement was not exactly legit.
“Please, Mr Miller, don’t report Julie on this. She was just helping me out. Please don’t punish her for my mistakes. I swear, I would never put the kids in danger, I just needed a place a sleep in for a few months. I will quit if that’s what needs to happen. Please don’t report Julie. Please, sir, I’m begging you.”
You were hysterical and didn’t even realize it. Panicked tears covered your face, not daring to look him in the eyes.
He took you by the shoulders and sat you down gently, telling you he was not here for that. Please, don’t worry, he’s not going to report Julie, or make you quit. He just has some questions for you.
It took you a while to calm down. For a moment, you felt like the new start you had was over. But he soothed you, rubbing your arms and back, making you feel a lot better. He got up and went into the kitchen and came back with some water for you. He waited as you calmed down. He sat himself down on the beanbag across from where you were sitting.
“I’m going to start asking you some questions, okay? Will you answer them for me?”
All you could do was nod, surrendering to the situation.
He asked you how you came to be Allie’s guardian. You told him. He asked you how you lost your job. You told him. He asked you how you came to live here. You told him. He asked you how you came to know Tanya. You told him. He asked you why Tanya was so bullying to you. You told him. He asked you why Allie hadn’t been interred. You told him.
You did not lie; you did not obfuscate. You told him the truth.
He took a deep breath after you had answered everything.
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
You smiled, telling him your problems were not his burden to bear.
“I told you, anything.”
You shrugged.
“I’m not used to asking for help. I’ve always handled things alone. I’ve always been alone, except for Allie and my parents. Tanya’s mom helped, but I couldn’t do that to her forever. I’m alone now, I have to take care of myself. It’s not so bad. I just need a few months to come up with a downpayment.”
He thought about this. He wanted to help. But he didn’t want to make you uncomfortable. In fact, he admired your resolve to not trouble anyone. He braced himself to tell you his plan. The plan that was definitely brought upon by the fact that he couldn’t stop thinking about you, more than the promise he made to Allie. A selfish plan, if he’s being honest with himself. One that would benefit you, no doubt about it, and would definitely benefit Sarah. But he couldn’t deny that this plan will, without a doubt, serve his own needs.
“In that case, I have a proposition for you, Addison.”

Ikepri Rooms Ranked By How Expensive They'd Be As Hotel/Airbnb Suites
1. SILVIO
Listed in the dictionary as the extreme antonym of a cheap room. The type that requires reserving years before in advance because nowhere on earth will you get a better view of dolphins porking. And forget about sheets being washed daily, they get completely replaced three times a day. You feel like a billion dollars after one night's stay, which is great because you've surely spent half that amount on said stay.
2. JIN
The reason this ranking exists. Luxury walls, flooring, bedding. Other hotel suites wish they could be Jin's room. Catching your reflection on any of the surfaces automatically increases libido. The sheets are infused with heady compounds commonly found in massage oils. You can see the mini-bar no matter where you're standing in the room. The fucking complimentary lollipops.
3. YVES
The crown canopy alone is so iconic that it demands a premium, but who wouldn't want to treat themselves to a stay in such a chic and manicured suite? Its amenities rival any high-end spa. There's amenities for actual cats. You go in clean and come out shiny.
4. CHEVALIER
You're paying for the books and you're paying for the balcony. If you face the bookshelves it smells like roses. If you face the roses, it smells like books. It's obvious Chevalier did not put this room on the market, nor did he tamper with it to such inutile effect.
5. KEITH
The premiere suite for introverts who simp for succulents. The bright and refreshing color palette is sure to uplift your spirits, and if that doesn't do the trick, who doesn't like fiddling with an actual telescope and accidentally breaking it? The ceilings are higher than you'd find in most suites, making it perfect for taller guests. There's always a fresh galette waiting for you every day.
6. NOKTO
A room that enticingly strays into the realm of maximalism. Staying in this suite with all its souvenirs and foreign effects lets you feel like a globe-trotter while you're getting ravished into the luxurious mattress. No single occupants allowed.
7. LEON
You're paying for the books and you're paying for the sheets. Mostly the sheets because some of the books are a little dusty. Room Service specializes in meat dishes. The windows grant one of the most breathtaking sunsets you'll see anywhere.
8. LICHT (palace room)
Despite the cool palette, it evokes calm and happy feelings. The wolf motif means lots of fur accessories. Just, uh, ignore the collar in the drawer. Even if you're into it. That's not for you. Yeah, this is probably another room that wasn't listed by its owner.
9. RIO
The view, the view, the view. For some reason Rio comes with the suite. 24/7 butler. Partway through your stay and after receiving world-world-class service, your understand why the convenience fee was so much higher than what you paid for the actual room. It's also obvious that this experience is worth far more than what it was listed for.
10. LUKE (cottage room)
A cozy stop on any b&b tour. The owner asks you do not disturb the teddy bears on display. If you find that the teddy bears disturb you, you are free to sleep facing the walls while enjoying the everpresent fragrance of honey.
11. SARIEL
The perfect room to spend an entire day in while reading or cuddling or being spooky and goth. There's spare glasses everywhere. You can see how some of the seemingly-ordinary fixtures could easily be turned into props for more adult-oriented activities. There's also ale flasks everywhere. ...Who put this room on the market? (whip-cracking sounds)
12. LUKE (palace room)
It definitely feels like you're staying in someone's personal bedroom and not an officially sanctioned suite. If you stayed in the cottage room before this, you might even think one of the teddy bears followed you. Well, that's just what they do.
Unlisted properties ranked:
1. CLAVIS (treasure and contraband room)
A national secret too dangerous to list. Expensive based purely on the illicit contents and sheer volume of shovels, which apparently add up.
2. LICHT (cottage room)
A national secret too secret to list. Also if "Simple and Clean" was a physical room. No one should know it exists, even though everyone probably knows it exists. If it were on the market, it'd be impossible to book. It's so picturesque it makes you want to cry. Most of the hypothetical extra charges on the hypothetical bill go toward maintaining the field of flowers surrounding the property.
3. CLAVIS (palace room)
A national secret too dangerous to list, but there have been rumors that you can stay for free if you manage to get past all the locks and traps and tell the owner how much you love him.
4. GILBERT
A national secret too dangerous to list, and there have been rumors that it undergoes regular renovations ever since the owner got engaged. It's the kind of room that makes you think "yeah, that'd probably be expensive as hell to stay in," but it seems the owner doesn't care for pricing things out of the reach of the masses, so that's why it's ranked so far down. If the room were available.
a/n: Thank you for reading. I took some inspiration from the modern headcanons @/leonscape has posted in the past. Also the bit about where Licht keeps his collar I believe is something mentioned in a collection event story, which I read the translation by @/hotaru987 for.
