aftercare
pairing: matt x reader
summary: matt takes care of you after rough sex
warnings: aftercare, comfort, kink talk, sweet, romantic, love
a/n: something short and sweet cause all my matt fics are smut
word count: 714
âfuck iâm so proud of you baby. you did so well tonightâ matt says after pulling out of me
i donât respond.
âbaby? are you okay?â matt asks
i try to speak but nothing is coming out my mouth.
âyouâre shaking princess-â he pulls me up and holds me against his chest, âcan you tell me whatâs wrong baby? please?â
âiâm sorry. tonight was just a lot.. iâm not used to you being so roughâ i say in a soft tone
âbaby iâm so sorry. i didnât realize that you werenât enjoy-â
i cut him off
âno no no i did enjoy myself, i just donât think my body was ready for all this-â i imply
âi mean .. i came three times, i canât say i didnât enjoy myself. it was just a lotâ i continue in a lighthearted joking tone
he continues to hold me and lightly trace his fingers through my hair
âso.. i didnât do too much?â he asks anxiously
âno baby, iâm just a bit overstimulatedâ i say as i lean back and look in his eyes
i could tell he really felt bad. which only made me feel worse
matt would never intentionally hurt me or do anything i donât enjoy
we do have safeword, if i ever felt uncomfortable im not afraid to use it.
im just so used to a soft dom matt.. not a matthew whoâs slamming into me at full speed while pushing my head into the bed so i canât breathe.
i mean i was done after the second orgasm but he kept going, and i couldnât stop him. it felt so good
i couldnât even think anymore. he had his hands around my throat squeezing softly while lightly slapping my cheeks. it was all a lot
donât even get my started on the hair pulling. i never knew matt even had it in him to be aggressive.
i think what set me over the edge was when he told me to stick my tongue out so he can spit in my mouth. heâs not even into that?
but regardless, it was all very overwhelming so iâm not surprised that i froze up after our final round
âbaby?â matt calls out
âhm?â i respond
âdid you hear what i said?â he asks
âno..â
âdo you want me to run us a bath, would that help you relaxâ
i simply nod my head and he gets up to run the bath water
no less than a few minutes later he comes back and carries me to our bathroom and sits me in the tub loaded with bubbles
âaww you put bubbles in it? matt thatâs so cuteâ i snicker
he smiles, âi thought you would enjoy more than the regular clear waterâ
he hops in the tub and sits across from me.
a comfortable silence fills the room for a minute before matt begins to speak
âare you sure you liked the sex tonight? i kinda just wanted to try something new, im sorry i didnt bring it up to youâ
âmatthew, i promise i enjoyed tonight! i just wasnt expecting it whatsoever.â i reply back
âokay oka-â
âit was really hot actually. i didnât even know you were into some of these thingsâ i interrupt
âlike what?â he asks
âthe spit..â
âhonestly. i kinda always wanted to try it but i never did in fear that you would hate itâ he exclaims
âwhat? no! that shit is such a turn on.â
âglad to know..â he smiles
i laugh, âboy! stopâ
more silence fills the air for a few more minutes until i start to feel the drowsiness take over me
i yawn, âim getting sleepy..â
âwanna head to bed?â matt asks
i nod in response
he gets out the tub and guides me out, matt drains the tub as i dry myself off then we head back to our room
âwhere are you going?â matt asks
âto find a top?â i reply
âyou donât wanna sleep body to body?..â he questions acting offended
âyouâre such a girlâ i laugh
we hop in bed and i get comfortable in mattâs chest
âi love you so much y/nâ
âi love you more mattâ
our last words before the silence is filled in by comfortable snores
ââââââââââââââââââââââââ
a/n- the end đ«

hewwo can i ask for jouno, tetcho, tachihara and other if u want; with a s/o that is their ideal type, the person they needed
my missing piece
synopsis - when they neet their perfect type
includes - tachihara, jouno, tecchou
warnings - gn!reader, fluff, wc - 714
a/n: hello! just a reminder that this is all my opinion!
taglist - @vi-chan07
michizĆ tachihara â
â·
âȘhis ideal type would probably be somebody who is headstrong and quite independent. he's the undercover expert in the hunting dogs and is away for long periods of time so he'd prefer someone who is willing to wait that long for him to return.
âȘbut he also would love somebody who is able to take a joke and has a close to perfect work life balance. when he's with you he doesn't want either of you to think about work, he just wants to relax with you by his side and focus on silly disagreements such as what to have for dinner.
âȘif he ever met somebody who was his ideal type, he'd freeze. his nerves would get the best of him and he be so hesitant to eventually ask you out even though you are everything he'd ever want in a person.
âȘthat being said, he isn't actually that picky when it comes to his perfect person. there is a lot he looks for in a person but if he loves someone he loves them. sure they'd still have a couple of qualities he's looking for but he knows he can't control who he ultimately falls for.
âȘbut finding his perfect person would bring him a huge sense of comfort. it would give him hope that you two would stay together through thick and thin.
saigiku jouno â
â·
âȘhe is extremely picky and particulate when it comes to deciding who he'd want to be with. it doesn't matter if you have every quality he's looking for, if he isn't in the right mindset he won't bat an eye. jouno doesn't exactly seek out a relationship and would easily pass along the opportunity to be with his ideal type if he wasn't ready.
âȘhowever, some qualities he does look for is someone who openly speaks their mind with little regard for the consequences. he wants them to be open and honest with their feelings and not hide behind the ideas of others in order to please them or blend in.
âȘhe would also really like if his partner was morally grey like himself. he doesn't want someone who is so easily swayed to one side or another, no he wants someone who sits on the fence, who isn't afraid to use sketchy means but still keep to some basic moral grounds.
âȘhis blindness would never be an issue but you would have to prepare to help him occasionally. whether that be helping him within his or your accomodation or even just helping him de-stress by letting him listen to your heartbeat. just be prepared for him to get quite needy sometimes.
âȘfinding his perfect person would ultimately lead him to initially believe that he could finally get rid of the idea of relationships. however he would come to realise that he really couldn't live without you after a while, you understood him better than anyone else.
tecchou suehiro â
â·
âȘhe is one of the most least picky people when it comes to his ideal type. in fact, tecchou rarely thinks about having a relationship with someone but he would be another firm believer that you can't control who you fall in love with. you fall in love with who you fall in love with and you should try and make it work.
âȘif he was asked who his ideal type was, he would say that he would like them to be adventurous and not afraid to take risks. he values confidence and wants someone who would willingly try new things - you probably would comr to curse your willingness to try new things when you were net with his food combinations.
âȘself righteousness is another valuable quality in his opinion. he is a firm believer in justice and he needs someone who shares a strong belief in a similar field. similarly, someone who is quite driven would also be appealing to him. these qualities would give tecchou the confidence in his relationships.
âȘwhen he finds his perfect person, he acts the same. the only difference is you and your constant presence in his life. now he seeks you out after the day is done, he basks in your company and wonders how he ever got by without you in his life.

â». GENSHIN IMPACT
â». EYES ON ME .
in which [name] can't really handle eye contact very well, can they handle scara's gaze on them? ( they can't . /j )
pairing : scaramouche x reader
warning/s : lowercase intended, not good very cringey!
word count : 714
note : not really my best work but i'm doing this for the sake of keeping this blog alive and active, i have sm pending works istg i've been trying to finish them all at once đ
you have a habit of staring everywhere except to whoever is talking to you. every time someone speaks with you, you're looking in the other direction and aside from that you will only look at them if necessary. several of your friends also noticed that if you're talking to others, your gaze seems to avert and look elsewhere.
they asked you about it and it appears that you're unable to hold eye contact for too long since you weren't used to making eye contact with other people and got used to working alone or with only a few people you had known like family.
by the time you have finished your work, you find yourself having a drink and a chit-chat with scara. it was only supposed to be a small chat with how your work and his work is but seems like scara has other plans. he made you his drinking buddy.
you weren't really a fan of drinking yet you accepted the offer since you don't wanna be rude and now, you're here drinking with none other than scara as you avoid looking at him as possible. everything around you now looks interesting to you. it now appears that each thing has a deep meaning that it should have. with your eyes glancing almost everywhere you still managed to catch everything he says word by word.
he notices that your eyes have been glancing everywhere but he never saw you glance at him even for a second. tilting his head to the side, his arms crossed near his chest.
â are you listening? â that didn't sound like a question to you yet it is a question. you're just interpreting it differently. â huh? yes, of course. i'm listening. â answering his question only looking at him for a few seconds and then smiled before looking away again.
the indigo haired man smiled. it wasn't visible but you can see it if you look closely. he stopped discussing things with you besides everything that was coming out from his mouth was complaining.
in exchange for the silence, his eyes linger on you, you can feel his eyes on you as if he was burning holes into your sitting figure in front of him. your [e/c] slowly side eye scara's own orbs. he was definitely just looking at you and by the looks of it he doesn't have any plans on looking away soon even if you aren't staring at him.
â you genuinely can't keep an eye contact, huh? â he questioned as if it wasn't obvious enough by how you tried to avoid his gaze. he knows that you aren't that used to looking at someone in the eye and also knowing that it's disrespectful to not look at the person who's talking to you.
you didn't even notice there was a lump forming at your throat if you haven't gulped. everything looks so interesting right now, you just want to run away from here and look for something that looks interesting and pretend to study it. â i should really practice on holding eye contact.. â you thought, you can even do it by looking at the person in front of you but that doesn't seems like a good idea.
the person in front of you is scaramouche. everything about him feels intimidating for you. building up the courage you finally give in and looked up at him. he was taken back when you looked back at him, his eyes widened for a second before he smiled smugly at you.
that lasted you well, not that long but you're proud of yourself for that. you hear him chuckle as he uncrosses his arms as he puts his hand on the table.
â very well then, can't really keep your pretty eyes on me for so long? â he teased with a saddened tone when he said the words so long as your cheeks heat up.
you didn't even answer it as you just left him alone there, not wanting to embarrass yourself any further as scara just watched you walked away.
he noticed the tip of your ears were red when you stand up and he couldn't help but smile by just how adorable you are.
maybe teasing you more often, will make him see your other side?

Lore: Half-elves
Disclaimer and Other Lore Index
Elflore: Physiology and quirks | Names & Clans and Houses || Pan-Cultural things: Social life | Time and Age Categories | Homes | Language | Art | Entertainment | Technology || Elven 'Subraces' still a wip || Philosophy and Religion & Pantheons || Half-elves |
OK, here's the half-elf lore dump I said I would finish. It's... long. An overview of the history of half-elves (such as it is) and the societies they're found in, with a mention of dark and sea elven half-elves; their physical traits/capabilities and aging; and then a note to some unique inclinations and perspectives often seen in half-elves regarding religion.
Cha'Tel'Quessir; Half-Elves. The most common and most accepted of the human hybrids by miles (unless you've got drow heritage). More conventionally attractive than half-orcs, with a more socially acceptable non-human parent, they are not treated with the same hate and disgust. Their fey heritage is more palatable than the fiendish heritage of tieflings, which causes the planetouched to be viewed with fear.
They are the offspring of a human and an elf; two half-elves; or the very, very rare case of dormant elven genes suddenly resurfacing in a human family with a distant elven ancestor.
They are only common when compared to the other mixed races of Faerûn, and are "scarce in number and widely dispersed across the face of Faerûn". They are most populous in the Eastern state of Aglarond, with the Southern nation of Dambrath formerly hosting the world's second largest half-elven population. The half-elven society of the Yuirwood makes up 30% of the overall population of the larger region of Aglarond. Until 1385 DR - people of mixed human, elven and drow heritage named the Crinti made up 15% of the population of Dambrath. These guys would need their own posts.
Historically, half-elves were known during the heights of the elven empires, but barely. In the last days before their fall, the empires of Illefarn and Cormanthyr had their own half-elven minority due to the growing number of human settlements that had been brought under elven crown authority, but by 714 DR these half-elven minority cultures had disappeared.
They are most commonly found where elven and human populations live together - which means that almost every single half-elf is a moon elf.
The city of Silverymoon is a melting pot founded on the basis of bringing all of the divided peoples of the region together in cooperation and has an unusually high elven population as a result. It has a population that's 40% humans, 21% elves and 12% half-elves, quite comfortably living together - making one of the only places in the Realms half-elves can live surrounded by both their cultures within the same city, instead of one culture only really being present at home.
Neverwinter (Eigersstor to the Northerners, who speak Illuskan), is another Northern city, was founded by elves and humans, and while the population is largely human in appearance and culture in the modern day, they have elven heritage. Half-elves are not an unusual sight.
In much of the world, half-elves are completely unremarkable or at the very least will not face much hostility, simply because few people have much, if any, experience with elves to judge them by.
In lands where humans and elves have a history of conflict such as Sembia and Tethyr, half-elves are both rare and viewed unkindly. Half-elves in these regions usually don't encounter other half-elves who they can relate to, and those who don't migrate elsewhere usually keep to themselves. They tend to be seen as elves by the humans (untrustworthy and dangerous otherworldly fey creatures) and they usually feel unwelcome or out of place with the elves that remain in these lands, who often lazerfocus on their human heritage.
Half-humans in elven lands often find themselves struggling. While they can be found in the elven priesthoods, and be trained in any elven tradition, it seems that elven society only begrudgingly lets them do so. Individual elves may be anything from hateful to wholeheartedly welcoming them as kin - some even see half-elves as a sign of a hope for a better future for elves in the larger world, but as a society they seem to have issues and it's common for the birth of a half-elf to be seen as a 'tragedy,' particularly by the nobility.
For example, the Evereskan College will only train a half-elf in elven combat and magical arts with the sponsorship of an elven parent "of sufficiently exalted parentage."
They are not welcomed to the elven refuge of Evermeet, though they may be tolerated visiting elven family there every once in a while. Even non-elven residents who are tolerated there would find their welcome revoked if it were discovered they had elven ancestry.
It's a near certain thing that any half-elf encountered is of moon elven ancestry, since moon elves are generally the only elves who will live amongst humans as a rule. Half-moon elves sometimes have a faint tinge of blue on their chin and ears, framing their face.
Half-wood elves are uncommon, but do turn up where human settlements border ancient woods.
Half-sun elves are borderline non-existent outside of the region surrounding Elven Court (these are the descendants of the now extinct ancient cosmopolitan sun elven city of Myth Drannor).
Half-drow are exceedingly rare and face heavy prejudice and occasionally fetishization, if their heritage is obvious (which it usually is, dark elven genetics are dominant). -- If born into Lolthite society, they are despised and considered second-class citizens (and treated accordingly). Such half-drow do not have pleasant backstories. -- Many are the offspring of Eilistraeean or Vhaeraunite drow, as these are the two drow gods that encourage drow to leave the Underdark and interact peaceably with surfacers. -- Eilistraeean half-drow may be born of loving relationships between the Dark Maiden's followers and those rare humans who will take the risk of giving them a chance, instead of writing them off as evil/killing them on sight. -- The birth of half-drow is encouraged by Vhaeraun in order to spread Vhaeraunite drow culture and genetics through the surface, and in order to secure his people a place in surface societies safely outside of Lolth's influence. -- Of course it's entirely possible for these children to be the result of a simple consensual fling, too.
Half-aquatic elves are an exceedingly rare minority within a minority. For starters, one of their parents lives on land and the other at the bottom of the ocean. Not to mention that sea elves can only survive on land for a matter of hours before it starts to kill them. Half-human offspring have a slight webbing between their fingers and toes that makes them excellent swimmers. Sea elves do not have the "willowy" build that is often seen on other elves, and so their half-human offspring never have it either. Unlike their parents, they cannot breathe underwater and are forced to remain on land to be raised by their human family, usually only seeing their elven relatives for short visits. Much like their elven parent they have an instinctual longing for the water, and cannot stand being away from the shore.
-
Half-elves may inherit any physical features from either parent, and might show a mixture of traits or pass entirely as a human or elf to onlookers. The offspring of a half-elf with a human will be considered a human by the game rules, and likewise, in the Realms, a half-elf having a child with an elf produces an elf. Despite game mechanics, these children still have a mixture of genetics, and it's possible to see a human with pointy ears or a moon elf with brown eyes. However, in particularly conservative circles there is a distinction made about 'pureblood' or 'trueblood' elves, and having non-elven heritage can carry stigma. This was in the time of Cormanthyr though, so hopefully it's died down at least somewhat.
Half-elves cannot be forced to sleep by magic. Some can reverie and commune and even pass the ability on to children they have with non-elves, though some half-elves find they can't.
They can see perfectly in low light conditions, and their hearing and vision is superior to a human's - although not as sharp as an elf's. Half-drow can see in complete darkness perfectly.
Their human heritage does not stop magic that affects elves from affecting them. They are harmed by magic intended to harm elves, and they have access to magic meant to be wielded only by elves. In reverse, the same also applies for magic that singles out humans.
A half-elf has a soul more akin to a human's than the fey spirit that is an elf, they will not reincarnate the same way.
They will age slowly, with a natural lifespan reaching over 100 but under 200 years, retaining their elven vitality all the way. While they may go grey, a half-elf is much livelier and sprier than a human of equivalent physical age. From a human lifespan's perspective, this is like having your grandma - who goes on hundred mile long runs every morning - pinching your cheeks when you're an ancient grandma yourself. From the elven perspective, this is watching your child wither and die in a time period where they should be being welcomed into adulthood.
As with elves, half-elves may well find that the tips of their ears and the palms of their hands are erogenous zones.
-
In terms of religion, half-elves often favour the gods of love and beauty - the elven god/ess Hanali Celanil and the human goddess Sune, who they thank for bringing their parents together.
Half-drow migrants to the Yuirwood brought the worship of EIlistraee with them, and her worship became popular with half-elves of other lineages all over the place. She's particularly popular with half-elven bards as a goddess of dance and music.
Half-elves are known to revere the elven pantheon, but tend to hold the elven aspect of Mielikki - Khalreshar - in special regard. In elven tradition she is the daughter of Hanali and the Faerûnian wilderness god Sylvanus, making her the only half-elven deity.
Half-aquatic elves often worship the sea elven deity Deep Sashelas or the human god of sailors, Valkur. Like all who live by the sea, they all pay homage to Umberlee. The sea goddess herself seems to enjoy tormenting them in particular.

Fascination
At first it was all about stargazing, but Aziraphale found his demon much more fascinating to gaze at.
Notes
50 Types of Kisses - Writing Prompts
Kiss #3: A breathy demand: âKiss meâ - and what the other person does to respond
On Ao3
Rating T -Â 714 words
"And what's that one that looks like an hourglass?"
They were lying on a blanket on the roof of the bookshop, looking up at the starry sky. It was Aziraphale who had thoughtfully suggested it, figuring the demon might be tired of seeing the stars only through the planetarium's artificial sky.
For half an hour, Crowley had enthusiastically described the sky and answered all the angel's questions.
He looked at the spot Aziraphale pointed to, and his face lit up as he replied, "What you call an hourglass, that's Orion. You can recognize him by his belt."
"His belt?"
"Yes, those three stars in the center, the place where the two parts of your hourglass meet, if you prefer. They are Alnitak, Alnilam, and Mintaka. They are called the Three Kings or the Three Sisters. But more than that, if you continue to look along the alignment of his so-called shoulders, you'll see the stars that form his bow. For Orion is said to be a hunter.
Receiving no response from the angel, he asked, "Do you see it, the bow, angel?"
Receiving only a distracted hum of approval, he turned his head to see that Aziraphale was looking not at the sky, but at him.
Crowley raised an eyebrow and asked, "Am I boring you with my explanations?"
Aziraphale shook his head and raised his hand to the demon's face before saying softly, "Not at all, but I'm afraid you offer a far more fascinating spectacle than this sky, my dear."
Crowley, embarrassed by the praise, decided to deflect it and replied, "So corny, angel..."
Laughing softly, Aziraphale leaned up on one elbow and countered, "I don't care if I'm corny, because I'm only speaking the truth. So bear with me."
Then he began to delicately trace the contours of the demon's face with his hand, and the demon's breath caught in his throat at the gentle caress. He didn't feel like teasing Aziraphale anymore.
The angel continued, gently drawing the demon's eyebrows, "Even the brightest star pales in comparison to your eyes."
He leaned forward and planted a soft kiss on each eyelid before continuing to trace the bridge of Crowley's nose with his finger, "No star has a line as pure as this."Â
He pressed a series of soft kisses along the demon's nose, then traced the outline of the demon's lips with his finger, saying softly, "And those lips, that smile, no matter how long we've been apart, always, always, you've greeted me with that beautiful smile. Brighter than the sun."
This time, he didn't follow up his words with a kiss, but continued to stare at the demon's face in silence, his admiration clearly visible on his face.
Suddenly, Crowley broke the silence and said breathlessly, barely a whisper but perfectly audible in the stillness of the night, "Kiss me."
Aziraphale smiled and cupped the demon's face in his hands, slowly leaning forward. At first, his lips only lightly caressed the demon's until Crowley begged in a breath, "Please, Angel, kiss me."
Aziraphale murmured against the demon's lips, "Anything you want, my beautiful demon," before finally closing the thin gap between them.
They'd kissed before, many times in fact, in different ways and under different circumstances since they'd been openly in love, but this kiss under the stars had a special touch of warmth and sweetness, of devotion and love.
Crowley's lips parted softly as the angel pressed his to them, and that simple touch sent a wave of barely fathomable sensations through the demon, who moaned softly into the kiss and wrapped an arm around Aziraphale's back, pressing him closer to deepen the kiss.
Later, as they parted to catch their breath, Aziraphale said softly, "Let's continue this at home, I want to worship more of you than just your face. As much as you love the sky and all its stars, I want to show you how much I love everything about you."
Crowley gasped at the devotion he read in the angel's gaze, and whatever his passion for the sky and the stars, nothing could keep him from granting such a sweet request.
And much later, as he lay in their bed, cradled in his angel's arms, he had forgotten all about Orion and his belt.

Edge(ING) Fitness - Chapter XXXVI
Word Count 714
Ivy's POV.
AO3
Masterpost
CW/TW: mild, slight, itty bitty bit of exhibitionism, maybe, little bit of dirty talk, lots of teasing basically, so. much. dialogue.
âYeah, I won. We won. It was awesome, we kicked major ass,â Ivy was overjoyed, he was talking to III. He was murmuring into his earbuds, because he was on the back of a really nice charter bus back to the hotel. III had called him a few minutes after he had settled in for the thirty five minute drive. III was speaking to him, telling him about Vesselâs performance.Â
âHe killed it, he always does,âÂ
âYouâre gushing,â Ivy laughed then. He listened to III kind of choke. Then, III was talking to someone else.Â
âYeah, thatâs fine, I drove so I can get myself back home,â he said, and Ivy recognized IIâs muffled tenor. âII wants to go home with Vessel,â III relayed. âNo, itâs Ivy,â the phone shuffled and then Ivy could hear II.Â
âHeâs a singer,â II laughed, and then Ivy heard who must have been Vessel speaking. He couldnât discern any words.Â
âGive me my phone back,â III was only kind of muffled, and then Ivy could hear some sort of scuffle and IIâs laughs. âOh, god,â III groaned right into the phone then. It made Ivy sit up straighter. âTheyâre kissing, Ives. In public,â he was being dramatic, and Ivy couldnât help the bark of laughter that escaped him. âThatâs gross!â he called out then. Ivy was giggling listening to III. He knew exactly how much III liked to kiss men, and that he was just giving Vessel a hard time. âTheyâre in love,â he confided then.Â
âI wondered how long it would take,â Ivy felt a knot of tension, one heâd forgotten he had been carrying, release in his chest. II was in love. That meant that Ivy would get to keep III, that III wouldnât fall for II.Â
âSo, uh. Go on any good dates lately?âÂ
âMm, yeah. You?â Ivy shot back immediately, grinning. He knew III just didnât want to hang up. Once he had gotten around to calling regularly, he never seemed to want to end a call anymore. Ivy loved it.Â
âYeah, but the guy Iâm seeing must be kind of crazy. He actually agreed to come out on a run with me at six in the morning. I got to take him home after, so, worth it,âÂ
âTake him home?â Ivy looked around the bus. He was alone, hidden, and underneath a blanket. Everyone else was either in their own earbud land, or simply passed out. âWhatdid you do when you too him home?â Ivy heard his voice pitch downward, knew he was going to get hard from IIIâs response. He didnât really care. He actually found himself reaching down and palming at his cock. III laughed, soft and low. It sounded like he was in his car now.Â
âWell, I took his pretty, fat, pink dick all the way up my ass,âÂ
âI bet youâre tight,â Ivy interjected, sliding a hand beneath his waistband. He was getting hard. He wanted to get inside of III again.Â
âYou know I am,â III dropped the pretense. Ivy slowly jerked his dick once, twice. Just enjoying listening to III. âI would really, really like to do that again. Maybe I can fuck you, too,âÂ
âMaybe you can,â Ivy groaned. He thought he might die then. III wanted to fuck him. And get fucked by him. It was insanely hot.Â
âYeah, but, youâre not here right now, and I know youâre on a bus, so Iâm not going to torture you,âÂ
âWhat!â Ivy couldnât help his little outburst. III kind of cooed at him then.Â
âYou want me to torture you?âÂ
âWell, uh, obviously not. But, Iâll be home in an hour or so, if my estimate is right. Thereâs a key in the back garden, just jiggle the gate and it should come open. Let yourself in, make yourself comfortable. I want you in my bed when I get home,â III laughed at his desperation but he didnât care. âIâm serious. We need to do that, we need to fuck,â he couldnât help the words, the near begging, coming out of his mouth.Â
âIf youâre sure,â III started his car. Ivy could hear it.Â
âIâm sure,âÂ
âOkay, I'll see you soon. I love you,â and the call disconnected. WaitâŠwhat the fuck did he just say?Â

Omg wait. Can I get Valentineâs Day thingy with 049? If someone already requested that, then 035! -đ
~~~~~~~~~~
~đŸđźđ» 049 x Reader: Valentine's Day~
~~~~~~~~~~
Just decided to do 049 since the Valentine's Special thingies already take a while to write!
Note: The black text isn't working for me, still....It doesn't do anything when I try to make the text black, so DAMN. It has to be red for, like, BLOOD OR SOMETHING DARLINGS đ© When Tumblr fixes the black text thingy I'll edit it so that it's black and matches the characters.
Remember, the Valentine's Special includes:
~Enjoy~
â
â
â
â
đŸđźđ» 049
â
â
â
â
~~~~~
~âHow do they spend Valentine's Day with their darling?â~
đ€đ€đ€
~He can't do much, but he will try. Demands they bring you to him for a few hours, at least.
~A lot of physical touching if you're somehow immune or if you're wearing SCP 714. Hugs, kisses on the hand, pressing his forehead against yours, ect. Anytime he can touch you, he touches you a lot- 049 is addicted to feeling something alive, breathing- something with a pulse. You're the only living thing he can touch without falling dead at his feet.
~Demands somebody to bring some sort of dessert for the two of you to share, and will perhaps read a romance novel or something with you.
~He low-key thinks SCP 714 is basically your wedding ring. It's the thing that stops his touch from killing you, and you're wearing it for him- you're married to him don't deny it >:C
~If you do deny it? oh well y'know that's for another time *looks at yandere 049*
~Spending quality time with you is all he wants to do.
~~~~~
~âWhat gifts do they get for you?â~
đ€đ€đ€
~While he unfortunately can't buy anything for you, he'll get all fancy and poetic for you.
~Prepare for a ton of love letters and romantic poems about how gorgeous you are.
~~~~~
~âMini Love Letter!â~
đ€đ€đ€
On a nicely folded white sheet of paper (he would've used something more...fancy if he were allowed), written in gorgeous cursive with a black pen...
"Darling,
You are the only thing that brings me genuine joy. While I am shunned into the darkness of this world of blood and gray walls, you make it liveable.
Though I am unsure of why you love me, I know your love is true. You are all I crave and desire. My angel, my light. My love. You are pure, and perfect. I love you.
~Your Doctor"
(Let us say you call him "My dear Doctor". He loves the respect, the fact you speak to him as though he were a fellow scientist.)

Give it A Try *Part 2*
Scott McCall X Fem!Reader
Word Count: 714
Requested: Anon
Request: Can you do a part two of I give it a try where scott proposes to the reader and then her abusive ex boyfriend finds out and then comes to beacon hills looking for his luna and his pups
*Part 1*
Warning: Abusive ex, being called a liar, recalling past events though no description of what happened
You and Scott had been together for a couple of years and you were happy, he slotted into your little family well and with all of his friends it made for a good support network, you forgot what you had been running from. Your kids were settling in well and they were happy so when Scott proposed to you and you accepted officially becoming part of his pack.
You were at the front desk waiting for any customers when you heard the door open, you smiled as you turned to the door but any words that you had in your throat died âthere you are. I hope you enjoyed your little holiday because itâs time to come home, weâre going to go and get the kids and go.â ïżœïżœW-we arenât going anywhere with you.â You muttered. âSpeak up, you know I hate it when you mumble.â He ordered and you flinched before the familiar and calming scent wrapped around you as Scott took the place behind you pulling you into his chest and growling at the alpha in front of you. âI suggest you leave.â He ordered. âI will when my wife comes with me.â The man in front of you said and you stiffened. âWe were never married.â You said, your voice was strong in that fact and Scott squeezed at your waist as if the signal that he needed an explanation from you. âYou think anyone is going to believe your lies, Iâm sorry man, sheâs done this before-â âDo you really think Iâm going to believe you?â Scott asked. âI can smell that you're lying.â âWhat?â He asked, Scott flashed his eyes at him and he stepped back clenching his jaw. âTheyâre my pups.â âYou donât get to decide that.â Scott argued ânow get out of my shelter before I make you.â Scott watched the man leave, he never once left your side and once he was gone, he dropped his head to rest on your shoulder, you could hear him saying something but you were processing it. â(Y/N) breathe.â He almost sounded like he pleading as he moved your head so that you eyes connected, in that moment you realised that you had been holding your breath. âThere you goâŠâ âIâm sorry I never thought that heâd find us, I can go, I shouldnât cause trouble for you.â You said and he frowned, latching his arms around your waist to stop you from getting away from him. âGo where?â He asked. âLeave, I dunno somewhere else.â You answered. âWho would keep you safe if you did that?â He asked. âJust explain what happened.â He guided you to sit on the chair behind the desk âyou canât just leave me remember?â âI⊠Heâs my ex, heâs the kid's father. I left him because he was abusive, no one ever believed me because I healed before anyone saw, he passed it off as me telling lies.â You explained âI knew that the only way that things were going to be normal is if I ran, I didnât think heâd find us, hoped he wouldnât so I never talked about it. No one ever believed me anyway I didnât think it was worth it.â âWell how about this, you stay with me and the rest of the pack and we keep you safe, Iâm sorry that I wasnât there to save you from this before but I can be now, I promise.â He said softly. âIâll marry you and youâll stay here with me, it doesnât matter how many times I have to fight him off Iâll make sure that you and the pups are safe.â âScott I-â âIâm your mate, this is my job.â He smiled as he pressed a kiss to your forehead. âAll I need from you is to love me, can you give me that?â âAlways.â You nodded. âThen we have nothing to worry about.â Scott said softly. After that talk he shut the shelter early and called his mum asking her to keep the pups with her for the night, they were more than happy to have a sleepover and he spent the rest of the night making sure that you felt safe and showing you the best place that you could have been was with him.
Requests and general question!

Things Doctor Alto Clef is No Longer Permitted to Do On Site
As ordered by Site Command, O5 Counsel, The Administrator, several SCPs, and generally everyone who ever met the man, Doctor Alto Clef is no longer permitted to do the following:
Not allowed to point at anyone and state "Someone tell 049 quickly, here's a clear case of the Pestilence if I ever saw one!"
Not allowed to give anything with artificial sweeteners to 999. Poor little blob had a horrible stomachache after the infamous episode with the sugar-free gummy bears. Incidentally, the cleaning bill is coming out of your pay.
Not allowed to suggest anomalies to "reeducate" or "reclassify". We know how you'd prefer to classify 682, but it can't be done. And a more intelligent person would stop trying.
Not allowed to smile at staff or anomalies "in a threatening way". Frankly, you're lucky Agent Markovich only gave you a black eye.
Not allowed to "menace" staff with that damned ukulele. But feel free to torture the Chaos Insurgency to your warped heart's delight; those guys are assholes who can not just eat a bag of dicks, but choke on them.
Speaking of bags of dicks... stop sending them to Doctor Bright. His entire desk is overladen with gummy genitalia.
Not allowed to suggest movies to Doctor Bright. The "SCP Fight Club" was your fault, a bad idea all round, and got much worse once 076-2 tagged in.
Not allowed to read bedtime stories to any children on site. We do NOT need another incident of " Where's My Cow?"
Not allowed to tell D-Class that 096 "just needs a hug" and "he's not so scary, just sing to him and you'll be fine".
Not allowed to suggest Site Spirit Day ideas. Yes, Daganronpa is a great series. But... no one wants to live in Hope's Peak Academy, if only for one day. And the Monokumas were just overdoing it.
Not allowed to follow Doctor Gears around with a music app set to "Mr. Roboto" by Styx. Doctor Gears is NOT a robot or any variant thereof.
Not allowed to cook for anyone. Seriously, those pancakes were so hard you could use them as clay pigeons, and somehow the bacon was so raw the pig didn't even notice it was missing yet.
No more gurney racing! We get more than enough injuries on site to begin with.
Not allowed to dress the anomalies. 173 may not have cared about the wig and dress, but we dare you to try it on 076-2 or 106 if you're THAT bored.
Not allowed to start sing-alongs. You know what you did.
Not allowed to barter, buy, sell, lease, or rent souls. How do you even rent a soul? Never mind, that's a rabbit hole best avoided.
Alcohol is not permitted on site. Even if Doctor Bright drives us to drink. Where did the vodka even come from?
Not allowed to request alcohol from 294. Just in case.
Not allowed to use his ukulele as a melee weapon. Just play it, whomever is attacking will surrender instead of hearing that.
Not allowed to create improvised explosives. Kung Pao Chicken does NOT require gunpowder. How did you even turn a live chicken into a clucking grenade?
Not allowed to practice horticulture. Combustible lemons were bad enough, but making them insult you as they hit you is a bit much.
Not allowed to "decommission" anomalies without authorization from above. Doctor Bright does not count. Doctor Gears does count, but he's not likely to agree.
Not allowed to refer to new hires as "fresh meat for the grinder". First... creepy much, Alto? Second, it's just cruel.
No more than 75 kills per day. Sorry, but in this economy ANY help is hard to find, especially good help.
Not allowed to feed the anomalies marijuana brownies. We don't even know how 073 was even able to eat it due to his properties. But seeing 682 stoned was funny. Who knew the big nearly undead bastard had a plethora of dad jokes? Not the three D-Class who nearly died laughing. Still, don't do it again.
For the last damn time... 714 is NOT a Green Lantern Power Ring, we have no such item, there is no Power Battery hidden in the Keter Wing, and you should stop telling staff and D-Class this. We're losing 6 people a day to this nonsense.
Not allowed to refer to his exploding poultry as "chicken riggies", no matter how humorous it may be.
Not allowed to go "undercover" in the women's restrooms, showers, or lockerrooms on site. No, not even for "research". Especially not for THAT kind of "research". Get a RealDoll, Alto!
Not allowed to encourage Doctor Bright in his shenanigans. Does Jack Bright really need encouragement like that?
Not allowed to perform unauthorized tests on staff or anomalies. Putting a "Free Hugs" sign on 049's back was not funny, and if 049 hadn't noticed who knows what would happen.
Not allowed to point at staff in hazmat gear and chant "Unclean. Unclean." Especially not around 049.
"More shotguns" will not solve all problems. Stop suggesting it.
There will NEVER be a "Dress Like a Ninja" day here. Stop trying to make it happen.
Not allowed to "rent" out his services as a "divorce mediator". No one needs your kind of mediation.
No stalking the staff. Period. No, not even if they're a suspected security risk.
If it's on the Bright List, don't. And stop suggesting new ideas to him.
There are no maps for the Wanderer's Library. Please stop selling them.
Jello shots do not typically involve firearms.
Stop referring to Bright Duty as "Witless Protection".
Not allowed to show episodes of "The Twilight Zone" to anomalies. Ferdinand is still looking for that damned cookbook.

The Day of Cantabria
The Day of Cantabria is an important holiday for the locals which is celebrated yearly on the second Sunday in August. This year it falls on August 13. This historic community is located in Northern Spain with a population of 580, 229. Its name comes from the Celtic word for âhighlanders,â referring to its mountainous terrain. Cantabria is home to many beautiful national parks and museums that display its rich and ancient history. Cantabriaâs beautiful architecture is a mixture of arabesque, gothic, and renaissance, making it a great tourist destination for those who appreciate history. The locals celebrate this holiday to appreciate the rich history and culture of Cantabria.
History of The Day of Cantabria
Cantabria is an autonomous community in northern Spain. Though the borders of this region changed throughout the years and had long been occupied by neighboring countries, its people have been around for centuries. This region has archeological sites that go back to the Lower and Upper Paleolithic period. The Cave of Altamira is one of the most significant finds, with cave paintings that date back to about 37,000 B.C. Cantabria is part of Green Spain and enjoys luscious forests, breathtaking scenery, and marvelous architecture.
During the Roman conquest of Hispania, Rome fought against Cantabria and Asturias from 29 to 19 B.C., eventually conquering the regions. The Cantabrians saw death in every battle as a victory and preferred committing suicide rather than becoming slaves. Cantabria remained part of the Roman Empire until it fell in 476 A.D. when it regained independence. It was later invaded by Muslim Moors in 714. Cantabria attempted to unify during the 18th century but struggled due to a lack of resources.
The Day of Cantabria was first celebrated in 1967 as The Day of the Mountains. Â Its name was later changed to âThe Day of Cantabriaâ in 1981 when Cantabria gained independence. In 1981, the Statute of Autonomy of Cantabria allowed it to become a self-governed, autonomous community, giving it its own flag, coat of arms, and anthem. Cantabrians proudly celebrate this day through sporting events, parades, festivals, and traditional dance and music. Cantabrians all overexpress their appreciation for their history and culture, sharing it with others.

SAINT OF THE DAY (May 7)
John of Beverley was Bishop of Hexham (687-706) and then York (706 â 714).
He was born in Harpham, Yorkshire. He died in Beverley on 7 May 721.
As a youth, John manifested a strong desire to devote his life to God.
He eventually left his native Yorkshire and traveled Kent where he studied at the famous ecclesiastical school of St. Theodore, Archbishop of Canterbury.
He returned to Yorkshire upon the completion of his studies and joined a Benedictine monastery where he devoted himself to contemplation.
He was called out of his monastic seclusion to be consecrated as bishop of Hexham in 687, a see he occupied for 18 years while still managing to devote time to contemplation and the study of Scripture.
With the death of St. Bosa, Archbishop of York, John was transferred to York and served there until his retirement from ill health in 717.Â
He spent his last four years in a monastery that he built at Beverley.
John was renowned for the miracles that he performed, both during his life and those that took place after his death.
Most famously, he cured a young man who was dumb and had reportedly never spoken a word in his life, then obtained from him the ability to speak.
He took the young man under his wing and patiently taught him the alphabet and the fundaments of the language.
After his death in 721, owing to the many miracles that occurred through his intercession, his burial site at Beverley became one of the most popular pilgrimage sites in England.
He was canonized by Pope Benedict IX in 1037.
The renowned English mystic, Julian of Norwich, and the martyred bishop, St. John Fisher, who was from Beverley, had a great devotion to St. John.
