[riant-draws]

tw for panic attack, eyestrain (last page), swears

@tsunochizu's backwards through the snow!! this fic is my lifeblood

this scene's from chapter 15, in which iirc sig is like "ok pebbs is acting weird as hell time to get to the bottom of this" and pebbs wants some modified neuron flies for extra storage (which sig can send him the blueprints for), which ends up in them having a very... exciting video call

also I belatedly realized that the author made designs for sig and pebbs in btts but haha I am not redrawing pages~

this took me over a month I'm not even kidding

*dies*

[lotstradamus]

any chance for a spare old man daniel/armand fic rec? 🙏🏻🙏🏻🥺

in the details by infinitevariety - 'a turning point. immediately post-s2.'

hell is: by cannibalenthusiast - 'Daniel drinks another martini and a half, says, “You’re lucky I’m on blood thinners. I used to handle my liquor way better,” as he sets the unfinished drink on the table and offers Armand his arm again. Armand sits next to him this time, their bodies turned in toward each other as he cradles Daniel’s arm and drinks. The blood gives him a headrush, and he blinks rapidly to attempt to clear his vision. This time he leaves the wound for longer, lets blood drip down toward Daniel’s wrist before he laps it up. “Fuck,” Daniel murmurs as he watches. “That’s more like it.”'

I like your getup, if you know what I mean by cannibalenthusiast - 'His brain conjures the image of Rashid standing primly with a plush towel draped over his slim wrist. “For your jizz, Mister Molloy,” he says. Daniel snorts and spits onto his hand.'

the fog eating the night by tei - 'If Louis had wanted him alive, he'd have escorted him out himself. But he hadn't. He'd left Daniel standing there stunned, and walked out like none of this had mattered to him at all. Whether he meant to or not, Louis had given Daniel to Armand.'

old habits by tei - '"You're fucked up, you know that?" Daniel says. "Do you really like that shit? Or is it just a habit for you by now?"'

hell and you by quensty - 'With respect to Daniel’s life, pain in the ass is spelled A-R-M-A-N-D.'

strange mutations by leavethebes - 'Armand’s done it to him once before—gored him through the stomach, gutted him like a fish, snipped his gills off, and drained him right down to the fluttering valves of his heart. Left Daniel little more than a shriveled husk of a person, and somehow Daniel is back here anyway, on his knees in front of Armand and begging for the oblivion that was promised.'

you know that one tweet that's like 'iwtv is like porn for people who are into such weird shit that sex isn't even involved anymore?' yea

Do you ever search up a trope and you look through the fics and read all the summaries and it looks like no one understands what that trope actually means.

[summerlimeismethebrony]

[Image Description: an 11-panel comic page on paper in which Laurice Deauxnim/Larry Butz and Maya Fey from Ace Attorney sit side-by-side. Laurice has tight posture and an uncomfortable look on his face, while Maya is looking around in an uninterested manner; a large textbox labeled "Waiting for Nick" points at the two of them. Laurice looks over at Maya with a sidelong glance, grimacing. Laurice turns away, asking: "...Do you hate me?" Maya bursts out: "WHAT? Why would I hate you?!" ["What" is in all caps to indicate volume.] Laurice flinches away from the outburst. Laurice begins to explain, saying: "Elise", but cutting himself off and shaking his head, starting again with a downcast expression: "Your mom was my mentor." ["Your mom" is underlined to indicate emphasis.] Maya leans forward on her hands and tilts her head in confusion. Laurice continues, waving his hand in the air: "Like, she taught me how to be a better person, to— to grow up, y'know?" Laurice looks back at Maya, his palm toward her, with tears in his eyes, and says: "But you... She was your mom, and you never got that." ["mom" is underlined to indicate emphasis.] Maya looks at Laurice with concern, as he says: "I wouldn't blame you, if you hated me." End Image Description]

I think they should be allowed a Real Conversation, actually

strollonso + marriage proposal.

Genuinely, thank you so much for sending this, it is such a simple request, and yet the idea of them married has now fully consumed me.

Warnings: NSFW, they are fucking nasty style.

The thing about them is that they’ve never been normal. Not when Fernando kissed Lance for the first time post Bahrain, all sweaty and roaming hands, crowding Lance against the door of his hotel room and then standing before his father the next day saying Lance was already like family. Not when Lance went down on him for the first time, choking himself on Fernando’s cock while the man sat on the phone with his engineer discussing set-up of his car. Normal was not something that came to them easily, Lance supposed their proposal wouldn’t be any different.

He just hadn’t expected Fernando to ask him right as he was bottoming out.

Right as Lance was muffling a moan into his pillow and gripping the plush material in his hands with white knuckles.

“Marry me,” Fernando grunts, and Lance hardly hears him over the blood rushing through his ears.

He moans as Fernando thrusts with practiced ease.

“Yes or no?”

Lance cannot even follow the question. He’s too busy thinking of how Fernando’s cock feels inside him, too busy arching and pushing back for more. Fernando gives it to him, leans forward so he can rest a hand on the mattress next to Lance’s face pushed into the pillow, his other hand gripping Lance’s hip tight enough to bruise.

When Fernando begins thrusting at a brutal pace Lance lets him. He lets punched out noises fall from his lips and tangle in the sweat soaked sheets beneath them.

When he comes, it’s with the shape of Fernando’s name in his mouth.

"You did not answer,” Fernando muses afterward. Lance’s head is resting on his bare chest, his fingers threading through sweat soaked strands of jet black hair.

“Answer what?” Lance mumbles, fucked out and limp against Fernando – like a sack of potatoes Fernando had once teased, boneless and immovable. He was falling asleep, his voice groggy with the promise of it.

“Marry me,” Fernando says again, a statement instead of a question.

“Later,” Lance grumbles, curling closer to Fernando.

He is rarely the little spoon, what with the size difference between them, but his thigh slots perfectly across Fernando’s hips and his head can rest nicely beneath his chin if he maneuvers enough. He can feel Fernando’s come dripping out of him, his own drying against his stomach, but the need to give into the oblivion of sleep is stronger than the need to shower.

“But yes?” Fernando asks, to which Lance makes a noise that might have been agreement, at least he aims for that.

It’s not romantic, certainly not how Lance thought his proposal would go. For one, he did not think he would be the one proposed to. In his mind there had been an expensive trip to Bali, rose petals in the sand, a girl who he’d get down on one knee for with a prenup and a ring. But the girl never had a face, nothing distinguishable about her other than the dress she wore that would flutter in the breeze and her giggle when Lance slid the expensive rock onto her finger.

This is better, half asleep against his childhood hero with his limbs still aching from how hard the man had drilled him into the mattress. Feeling warm, content, wanted – not just for his trust fund but because he was also really good at sucking dick.

Maybe it was a self-deprecating thought. He didn’t care. He falls asleep like that, with Fernando’s fingers in his hair and wrapped in the scent of him. When he wakes, it’s to the man easing him out of the bed and into the warm bath that waits with steam rising in tendrils from the water. It’s easy to let himself be taken care of, to let Fernando massage the knots from his shoulders and clean the come from his body. Easy in the same way it is to let a nameless driver cart him around Montreal or let the rotating staff dust his frequently empty loft, different in that Fernando presses kisses to his neck, his shoulders, his spine, the crown of his head and tells him how good he was.  

Lance rests his cheek against the curve of Fernando’s neck while water is poured down his back, soap lathered into his hair, whispers of praise warm against his ear. Fernando uses his own shampoo, his soap, so that Lance no longer smells of sex but of citrus and sandalwood.

Fernando doesn’t mention marriage again, but he does dress Lance in a pair of his own boxers and eases him into bed with a gentleness that Lance has learned to associate with post-coital bliss.

It’s the sun that wakes him up next, and Fernando’s hand thwacking against his face when the man shifts in his sleep. He smells of Fernando and is wearing clothes are too small for his frame, and it’s familiar. At some point, it became almost normal.

A month later he gives Fernando a ring, a silver band rimmed with a strip of carbon fiber from his own car and his name engraved in Hebrew on the inside. It matches the font that’s inked across his ribs. Hurt a hell of a lot less though and cost him significantly more. His dad’s accountant questions the amount, asks Lance if he bought a new place, and Lance just shrugs it off – says he bought a snowboard or a car or a race track just to see the way the man’s lips press into a thin line as he jots something into the books.

“I’ll marry you,” he says, when he slides the ring in its velvet box to Fernando across the table of the taco place they’re at. It comes to a rest beside the chips and salsa.

Fernando stares. There’s a stray piece of cilantro sticking to the corner of his downturned mouth.

“If, uh, if you still want me to. I’ll marry you.”

“A ring?” Fernando asks, motioning at the box with the overfilled end of the taco in his grip. A stray piece of carne asada falls, plops onto the paper lined basket beneath him.

“Yeah, it’s stupid, but you know-“

“It’s not stupid,” Fernando cuts him off, annoyance lacing his tone as he sets the taco down next to the escaped piece of meat, “Don’t say that. It’s not stupid.”

Lance blushes, ducks his head, stares down at his own untouched taco and the box that Fernando still has not reached for. There’s chip crumbs sticking to the velvet. His dad would have a conniption if he saw, the same way he did when Lance would show up to events in a suit that was too big on him with an untucked button-up peeking out from beneath the oversized fabric. His dad would hate that they were even eating here, which is maybe precisely why Lance had chosen it. Something bold, something his, something that wasn’t stamped with the Stroll name and wrapped in a pretty package.

“It’s not stupid,” Fernando repeats, “But it’s for me?”

Lance feels his palms go clammy, feels suddenly like he is getting hit by a bus. His appetite leaves him with the whoosh of breath from his lungs. They hadn’t talked about it since Fernando proposed the idea when he was balls deep inside him. When Lance was moaning his name into the pillow and choking on his own tears from the pleasure. He feels suddenly stupid, hollow, the same way he feels when reporters ask him why he bottled it into the wall on the easiest part of the circuit with condescension lacing their tone. Like they could do any fucking better.

“You- fuck.”

“Lance?”

“You didn’t mean it did you? Oh, man, uh. I’m- fuck.”

Lance doesn’t cry, at least not in public. He’s become well trained in blinking back tears and biting off the quiver in his voice that gives him away. But he comes close, feels the stinging heat of them building in the corners of his eyes and has to blink violently until his vision clears. Fernando watches him, watches as he fights against the rising tide of not good enough, stupid, never enough that rises inside him suddenly and rapidly and threatens to drown him while he swallows down the bile and sour cream taste that’s building at the back of his throat.

It takes him longer than it should to stop the shaking of his hands.

“Sorry,” he says when the world settles a little beneath his feet, when he doesn’t feel like he’s going to say something spiteful just so he can see Fernando’s expression twist with the same hurt he feels. It wouldn’t work anyway, Lance has thrown nearly every well aimed bullet Fernando’s way and they land, but they never seem to hurt.

“Let’s just- let’s just forget about it, yeah? It was a dumb thing, I don’t even-,” he reaches to grab the ring box but is halted by Fernando’s hand over his own. Fernando’s fingers wrap around his wrist, strong, sturdy, unyielding.

“Stop calling it that. Let me answer, yes?”

Lance nods, braces himself for the inevitable rejection, for the floor falling out feeling and the rush of wind in his ears and the impact of his body against the pavement. It’s not a strange feeling, to be dumped by his hero and hung out to dry, doesn’t hurt any less the second time around though. He just wishes Fernando would be mean about it, the niceties hurt more, he’d rather it just be quick – it’s what he would have expected from the man anyway – a sharp dagger to the side or the bite of a blade against his throat, not the gentle press of the knife sliding between his ribs in some false semblance of mercy.

Fernando brushes his thumb along the inside of his wrist, over his pulse point, parallel to the surgical scars left from his accident. He sometimes gets phantom twinges, the memory of a snapped bone, but nothing now. Now he just feels empty.

“I did not ask you properly,” Fernando explains, sounding, strangely, sad.

“I didn’t answer properly,” Lance counters, nodding to the box that still sits between them, unopened, next to the chips and a bottle of hot sauce like it is another spare condiment. It cost him a quarter of a million, and Lance threw it down like it was the spare jalapeno sauce the waiter had left them.

“I should have,” Fernando presses, exasperated, like he’s frustrated that Lance is not understanding him, “it’s important to me. This. Us.”

Us.

Lance feels like that twelve year-old boy standing in the Ferrari garage when he says, “I don’t understand.”

Like he’s watching the race unfold with noise muffled by the earmuffs over his head and his father’s hand heavy on his shoulder. Like he can see it all, close enough to smell the rubber and the gasoline, but far enough away that it still seems unobtainable. Fernando may as well still be in that car, separated by a screen and Lance’s idolization for all the difference it makes now.

“You want to marry me, yes? Honest. This is- this is you? Your choice?”

“Who’s else would it be?” If Lance has a gun held to his head it’s one that he hasn’t spotted yet, metal pressing against his temple, and he’s somehow mistaken it for a kiss.

Fernando’s lips press into a thin line, the curl of his lips curving further downward.

“I’m sorry, Nando.”

“Stop being sorry. You do not need to be sorry. I am sorry. How I asked, when I did, it was…wrong. I should have waited. I should have asked correctly.”

Fernando’s grip on his wrist tightens, instinctively, enough that Lance winces when it shifts something beneath the skin, and he feels the hint of pain. More of a familiar ghost than anything real. Fernando pulls away anyway, sudden, leans back in his seat and tucks his hands beneath the table like his touch has somehow burned Lance.

Slowly, Lance understands.

“Wait- you- baby did you think I wanted a proposal? Like down on one knee ‘will you marry me’, proposal?”

Fernando arches an eyebrow, “You do not?”

The floor stabilizes slightly, stops feeling like it’s going to fall out beneath him. Lance breathes and when he exhales a laugh accompanies it.

“No, Fer. Fuck no. Please no, actually.”

“But you got me a ring,” Fernando points out, points at the jewelry itself, like rings and proposals must always go hand in hand. Like they’re supposed to be the blushing bride and groom. Like there’s not a seventeen year age difference between them and their first kiss wasn’t accompanied by Fernando spitting the name ‘princess’ into his mouth like it was a slur.

Lance can’t stop laughing.

Fernando still can’t seem to find the joke.

“This is not funny.”

“It’s kind of funny.”

Funny that his boyfriend became his fiancé when he was fucking him so hard Lance probably wouldn’t have even remembered his own name. Funny that he bought a ring before they’d even discussed it when their dicks weren’t out. Funny that Lance mistook Fernando’s chivalry for abandonment. It’s funny in a way that isn’t, and so he can’t help the laughter that bubbles out of him in heaving breaths and spills across the table, the floor, the whole of the crowded restaurant. He knows what he must look like, wide grin and crinkling eyes, and the familiarity of his face nagging at the brains of those who turn to stare at him.

He doesn’t care if they recognize him, or, more realistically, Fernando. He doesn’t care and it’s one of the first times that he thinks it and realizes it’s probably true.

“Stop laughing.”

“I can’t,” Lance wheezes, “We’re both so fucking stupid.”

Fernando rolls his eyes, shifts in his seat, waits until Lance’s laughs fade into breathy little huffs and passes the time by picking at his now cold taco. Lance watches him, watches the twitch of his lips and knows Fernando is biting back laughter too.

Finally, he leans forward on his elbows and says, “I want to marry you. Of course I want to marry you.”

He pushes the ring box further along the table with an index finger, until it’s touching Fernando’s plate. The man looks from the velvet box to Lance’s finger and travels along his arm until there’s nothing between them, but the table and the chips and Lance’s name engraved in Hebrew on a solid gold band.

“Do you want to marry me?”

He doesn’t have to wait for Fernando’s answer, it comes in the darkening of the man’s expression, his pupils blowing wide with want and the way he hooks his foot around Lance’s ankle beneath the table.

“Come with me. I will show you how much I want to marry you, Lance Stroll.”

Three months later, Lance wears a matching gold band, Fernando’s name engraved across the inside and resting warm against his skin. When people ask if he’s married, always as a joke, always assuming the impossibility, he laughs and tells them yes. Fernando wears his on a gold chain tucked beneath his nomex. It is the last thing they take off before getting in their cars, the first thing they put back on when getting out.

“Mine,” Fernando will whisper to him at night, Lance’s fingers pressed to his lips and warm breath ghosting along the ring.

“Yours,” Lance will say when he loops Fernando’s chain around his index finger and pulls until the man comes to him, and there is no separation between them at all.

Word Count: 2.9k

Author’s Note: sorry it took so long to get this out. Love you guys

The last few weeks of immeasurable pain feel poisoned with grief. Your heart feels as if red hot steel rods have been poking at it over and over again. Your mind is clouded with a fog that won’t dissipate, and your limbs feel like mush. You all but watch yourself from an out-of-body like experience as you barely manage to lift yourself out of bed to use the shower facilities, and eat despite Ri’nela’s desperate attempts to get you out of your room. 

Every day since Nor’s departure has been the same, the whispering outside your door includes a worried Ri’nela, Teylan, Tani and even So’lek much to your surprise. Your ears perk up to the sound of the creaky door hinges opening slightly, hearing the soft footsteps get closer to your bed. “Ri’nela, please do not even-” Your voice falters turning around to see a stoic-looking So’lek walking towards you.

“I was told we needed reinforcements.” He smirks ever slightly. Your mind feels a jolt of electric waves sending signals down to your toes for the first time in weeks, feeling your heartbeat quicken. Your reaction to him differs in comparison to your body, “Go away..” You grunt out in a hoarse voice. So’lek just sees this as an opportunity to sit on your bed and sighs deeply. “Look I..” He begins awkwardly, you barely find the strength to rise into a sitting position with ears slightly perked up, just interested enough to hear what he has to say.

“I am sorry about Nor. But you cannot go on sulking like this like it will change anything. He made his decision. You must make yours now.” He speaks with his usual conviction. Your ears pin down as soon as they perked up, feeling yourself flinch in the process. His words feel like ice compared to the soothing coos of Ri’nela and her lullabies over the last few weeks. “I hate you. Get out.” Your voice is so weak and pathetic not even you believe your own words. So’lek sees through your little facade and scooches closer to you, “Kirani, if I were to give up for every time I lost someone in my past, I would have buried myself into the ground.” He speaks softly.

You hear his words, as someone who’s experienced as much trauma and pain as you, if not more. But your body fails to move, paralyzed with fear. “I don’t know what to do��” You weakly whimper. He looks to in a way you have not seen before, watching as your lip quivers slightly. You feel as his hand cups your face softly, rubbing his thumb along the side of your cheek, “I will help you. Kirani, you do not need to be alone. Nor made his choice.” He whispers soothingly. “You are Sarentu, a fighter, I will finally teach you the ways of your kind.” He smiles. Your ears twitch, feeling all the wheels spin around in your head wildly. “I… want to destroy the RDA. All of them.. once and for all..” Your eyes meet his for the first time, seeing him squint in observation.

He nods his head calmly, “Then that’s what we will do. Get ready, I will train you. It’s good to have you back Kirani..” He smiles softly. The last few weeks of isolation have you suddenly realize just the effect it has on your other friends, feeling a slight pang of guilt and embarrassment. You quickly swallow your pride and rise out of bed, wobbly and stiff as So’lek grips your elbows for stability. You get your bearings about you, and stand tall wiggling your toes, “I will wait outside your door.” He smiles and walks out.

You go into the bathroom to take a lightning speed shower, and change into new garments, feeling like a completely new person. Stepping out of your room for the first time, feels egregious and daunting, but you take a deep breath and take one step after another, with So’lek waiting for you as he said he would be. “Come, let’s make you a warrior hm?” He smirks.

You make your way to the familiar artillery room to train in more guns and miscellaneous weapons, watching as he makes you load and unload magazine after magazine, target practice and sparring. “You must be prepared for the unthinkable, the sky people do not fight fair as you know..” 

Hours pass as both of you pant from exertion, covered in beads of sweat. Your muscles scream in pain having not used them for weeks, your lungs gasp for air as you push yourself to the breaking point. “Again.” So’lek commands. Your ears begin to ring, hardly making out his words, but you do as he says. Thwack! A hard blow to your chest is made as he kicks you across the room. “Ugh.” You groan in agony, feeling the wind get knocked out. You stagger back and desperately try to get your bearings, seeing So’lek approach you quickly, he grabs his wooden staff you both have been sparring with, about to smack you as you bring your hands up to grab the stick mid air.

The surprise in your face matches his, thinking as fast as you can, pulling him down onto your body with a loud thump. “Oof” He exerts. He slams his chest into yours falling on top of you, as you both stare at each other in silence. You break out into laughter, bursting with childlike amusement as So’lek immediately chimes in. You belly laugh together, with tears in your eyes, feeling a giant weight almost lift off your chest for the first time ages.

As your laughter fades out you both gaze into each other’s eyes, panting loudly as you can’t help yourself staring at his lips. The quick glance is noticed from So’lek, blinking several times as he coughs awkwardly bringing himself up from your body. “Good work. You have improved since last time even. You might even be stronger than Tani..” He rambles. 

You sit yourself up and laugh, feeling the heat rush from your ears to your cheeks. “I umm, thanks.” You gaze to So’lek who’s blush matches your own. “Next week, we plan an ambush on the RDA, it will be our biggest yet. You are ready.” He says as a matter of fact. Your eyes light up curiously, “Really?” He nods his head “Yes. You can handle this.” Before thinking, you pull him close for a warm embrace. Shocking both him and you, he grips your arms and looks deeply into your eyes, “So’lek I..” Before you finish your sentence his lips softly press against yours. The softness of his plush skin fits perfectly to yours as a missing puzzle piece. The memory of you two in your room the week you arrived flashes in your mind So’lek caressing your neck taunting you as he asks you want you want.

You deepen the kiss causing a moan to escape So’lek, gripping your arms more securely. You can’t help but enjoy that you have him wrapped around your finger, relishing in the movements as his tongue slides into your mouth. The heat between your bodies, feels like a thousand matches being lit at once, as your arms snake around the back of his neck pulling him in closer. “Mmm” You moan louder, just as grabs your backside the door to the artillery rooms opens with a whoosh “So’lek I cannot find Kirani have you-OH!” The squeak comes from Ri’nela as she watches the scene unfold in front of her slamming the door shut.

Before you both can register, she’s gone. You break the kiss with a loud smack, staring at each other’s swollen lips and flushed cheeks. “That was.. nice” He awkwardly whispers. “It was long overdue..” You smile and caress his cheek. “Yes it was. Kirani, I should have come to you sooner. Ri’nela and Teylan informed me to let you grieve on your own terms, so I stayed away as I thought you hated me..” He confesses. Your heart clenches at his confession, this entire time you figured he abandoned you as Nor had. Just another person in your life, gone. 

“Oh..” You whisper. “Thanks to you, I finally got my ass out of bed..” You chuckle softly. So’lek’s stare remains intense watching you closely, “Not even Ri’nela could get to me…” You admit. “I need you So’lek, but I am so afraid to get hurt again.” You profess. “Kirani, you will not lose me. I think you know that by now…” You sigh in relief closing your eyes and taking in the moment.

“I do. Thank you for saying it out loud. I needed to hear that..” You chuckle. So’lek smiles sweetly, for the first time wide enough to see his fangs poke his lips caressing your braids. “Let’s go prepare for an ambush…” He says confidently 

In a week’s time you’ve been with So’lek and the team of other Na’vi going over specific coordinates to where the ambush is planned, simulating what the attack would look like in the artillery room, and now standing in the main lab base section of HQ you suddenly realize how real it all is. Real danger, real revenge, real justice. You look to So’lek pointing to the hologram map of Kinglor Forest where he brings up a spot of one of the RDA bases, while Tani, you and another Navi warrior by the name of O’ame listen. Several more rebels will join you in just 24 hours reaching base to gather together against the sky people. This impending war looms over you like a dark cloud waiting to rain down on you with its wrath of lighting and thunder. 

“We’ll reach the base and Teylan will intercept all communications for sky people. This will be the signal to circle in on where they keep the suits. We draw them out.. and then blow them sky high..” He says with conviction and confidence. You nod your head in unison as you perfectly digest the plan, knowing exactly what’s at stake if you fail.

Hours later, you find yourself with a full stomach of butterflies and delicious food, walking down the long hallway with So’lek. The two of you walk in sync, in comfortable silence down to your room. “Can I see the mighty warrior’s living space or did you take someone else?” You lightly jab. He snickers playfully and rolls his eyes in return, “Forgive me if I did not think you were even interested in seeing my room. It looks as yours does.” He scoffs.

“But fine, if you insist.” He smirks while taking your hand in his, approaching the front of his door opening it to his own space. Your eyes scan the room observing the lack of furniture and decor unlike yours. In the time at resistance at HQ you’ve been creating more Na’vi like decorations to make yourself feel more at home. His room is plain, neat and clean but is dull and lifeless. 

Your amused reaction does not go unnoticed, as So’lek scoffs again. “I told you..” You turn to him with a shit eating grin on your face, “Maybe you just need a woman’s touch in your life, have you ever thought of that?” You nudge him playfully. His brows raise in clear enjoyment, “A woman’s touch…” A slighty suggestive tone slips from his mouth, dripping like honey causing your stomach to do more flips, staring at each other like two lost souls who’ve finally met their match.

“So’lek” “I” Both of you stammer at once. You laugh, and shake your head, “You first.” You nudge him, as he does the same to you. He concedes and takes a deep breath, “I.. Kirani.. the last few months with you, have changed me in ways I don’t think I have felt in a very long time.” He whispers softly guiding you to his bed so you two can sit. You watch him as he takes a preemptive thought, “The ambush is real danger Kirani, you are ready you have proven that. But I cannot lose you..” He whispers. 

You have never seen this side of So’lek before, so completely vulnerable and revealing you his true self. It’s comforting in a way you didn’t think you’d expect. “You won’t..” You murmur. “I cannot guarantee your safety tomorrow Kirani.. I am.. scared.” The way the last word rolls off his tongue is as if he’s so afraid of saying it out loud, because it may be spoken into existence. 

You cup his jaw softly, and smile, “I know. But nothing is really guaranteed. I don’t fear death So’lek… I need to ask something of you. And I don’t think you’re going to like it..” You sigh out.

His brows raise in confusion as he nods his head. “What?” You take a deep breath and brace yourself. “If something does happen to me tomorrow. Something like… if I am.. taken again. I need you to kill me.” You say wincing. You look at So’lek and his visibly upset reaction, but he does not speak yet. He sighs and gazes to you. “And why would I do that?” You remove your hand from his face and into your lap, desperate to keep your composure. “Because So’lek if Mercer and his cronies get their hands on me they’ll just bring me back to that metal prison, and I can’t go back. I won’t. So leave me to the viperwolves, they’ll be kinder to me than any man…”

Deep down So’lek can only empathize for your pain, and dips his head in defeat. “Then let’s not allow things to get to that point…” He says stoically. He grips your face and pulls you in for a quick but passionate kiss. “Stay the night..” He whispers. Your eyes light up, nodding your head. “Okay..” You whisper

go read Leaving Only Rust Behind by @clubsheartsspades if you haven't, and if you have, do it again XD

this fic is so, so good. not only is the writing awesome (lots of fun details if you look close), but the characterization is delightful, both heartfelt and heart-wrenching. my favorite, FAVORITE scene is, well, near the end of chapter 19 GAAAAHHH /pos

ALSO! GO GO READ THE SEQUEL! (From Rust We Rise) I've only just started it myself but mmmmmmm does not disappoint

(haha not me drawing a scene from the one chapter pebbs isn't a slugpup... seriously tho I can't draw scugs (or animals) to save my life. send help)

strangling my past self How Did You Write Reasonably Sized Fics So Easily

[triglycercule]

god there are NO mtt centric fics on ao3 that i haven't already read 😭😭😭 so i have to resort to reading fics about my secondary interest but then it just hurts more because i end up missing not thinking about the mtt. they're like a drug to me if i go for too long not consuming good content (art fanfics videos rambles) of the mtt i start to actually tweak out

writing a fic where Daddy Wilson is teasing subspace House and accidentally hits him right in the childhood trauma. twice. and bleeding heart wilson is faced with house as vulnerable as he has literally ever been while in distress and he's doing such a good job while simultaneously managing to say the wrong thing So Much. this is so cathartic to me. house needs to be allowed to feel big feelings! to know he's safe with them and with wilson knowing about those big feelings!!! and wilson, well, he needs to prove to himself that he can be the big bad daddy and also the sponge for all hurt until the end of time at the same time. we contain multitudes!!!!! i shout directly at them.
