Part four

Alec carefully tugged Max’s little jacket in place, “You remember what to do if you get separated from your Aunt and Uncles?”

He could practically hear both Izzy and Raphael rolling their eyes at him and privately wondered how anyone thought they weren’t a good match. Simon, kneeling right next to him, looked like he needed Max to answer to reassure him too. That was a worrying thing to see in someone Alec was about to leave his kid with.

“Stay where I am and don’t follow any strange adults. If I see the museum people, with their radios, I can ask them to help but I shouldn’t follow them anywhere.” Max repeated dutifully.

“And if you’re good all day?” Magnus asked from where he was standing behind Max, looking unfairly gorgeous in well fitted jeans and an asymmetric top that highlighted his arms.

Max tipped his head back to look at his  Ayah, “ I get to gift shop!”

Magnus ruffled his hair, unsubtly rubbing his scent over the top of Max’s head, “That’s right! Now, be good for your Aunt and Uncles and remember, you can ask to call Dad and I anytime if you need to come home, okay?”

“Okay!” Max nodded and turned to give Magnus a big hug as he knelt to receive it.

“I swear you think we’re totally incapable.” Raphael deadpanned from where he and Izzy were stood waiting behind Alec.

“It’s his first overnight with you guys.” Alec said, giving Simon a  look, “I think we’re allowed to be concerned. Especially since Magnus hasn’t gotten to spend much time with anyone but Raphael.”

“To be fair, he’s definitely the one I’m least worried about.” Magnus said, releasing Max with a big smile and ignoring Izzy’s “Hey!”

Alec left them to bicker over his head as he pulled Max into a tight hug, appreciating his blueberry happiness and the slight citrus scent that belied his own nervousness as being away from his parent’s. Max hugged him back and said quietly, “Love you.”

“Love you too kiddo.” Alec told him and let go, “have fun, okay?”

“I will!” He said, taking Izzy’s hand as she gave Alec a firm nod. Raphael took his other little hand and they started toward the museum doors. Simon looked at Magnus and Alec, “Seriously, guys, I promise we’re all going to be fine. Izzy and Raphael are total badasses and kids,” Simon grinned, “love me! Now get out of here!” He waved them away and didn’t wait to see if they went before he turned to race after his mates.

“That.” Magnus said, taking Alec’s hand, “That’s what alarms me.”

Alec nodded, “Well, at least you know Raphael and Izzy are used to managing a child.”

Magnus snorted, though Alec and he both knew that Simon was actually a good guy who would take a bullet for any kid, his energy and tendency to talk too much made him an easy target for their shared nerves.

“He is right about one thing. We need to get to our lunch date.”

“Yeah.”

Neither of them looked away from the museum doors.

“How are you doing this? I’ve had him for months and I’m freaked out.” Alec finally admitted and Magnus sighed.

“He goes with Cat fairly often. I’m just nervous because he’s never stayed with them before, but I trust they’ll call us if he needs us.” Magnus squeezed his hand and Alec let out a breath.

“Yeah. They will and I’m pretty sure Jace and Clary are both going over to Izzy’s to make it a sleepover.” Alec let that thought settle him. If there was someone he trusted more than Magnus or his sister with Max, it was Jace.

—

The Hunter’s Moon was familiar to Alec. He had to resist a laugh when he realized where Magnus had picked for their date. They were so close to running into each other so often in the city and it made Alec feel a little spark of superstitious gratitude. Magnus and him were meant to come back together, or at least that’s what it felt like.

He gave the bartender, Maia, a little wave. He didn’t know her well but she and Jace had some kind of frenemy situation and at some point he was pretty sure she’d slept with his sister. It wasn’t the sort of thing a brother cared to investigate.

“I see you’ve been here.” Magnus said, leaning into his side.

“A few times. Jace used to come here to pick up girls, before he met Clary. Now we meet up here occasionally. I’m actually glad you chose this place, it just goes to show.” Alec knew his smile was ridiculous, but he was feeling too happy to care.

“Show what?” Magnus asked, pulling him toward the bar with a playful spark in his eyes.

“That I was meant to find you again.” He let Magnus pull him close and purposely crowded the beautiful man into the bartop a little, getting close enough to breathe in the curl of satisfaction in Magnus’ scent.

Magnus just sighed and leaned back against him, “I would call that a good line, but I do believe you are being completely sincere.” He laughed, “It’s true though. We were just circling each other.”

Alec pressed his smile into Magnus’ hair.

“Hey!” Maia slid over to them with a wide smile, “My best tipper and the only tolerable part of Jace, you guys are cute.”

Magnus laughed at her greeting, “I will take my usual and whatever Alexander is having.”

Maia nodded and started on Magnus’ drink while Alec decided what he wanted, “Are you eating? I can grab your orders whenever you're ready.”

“That was the plan. Max is with Izzy, Simon, and Raphael until tomorrow, so we have plenty of room for a few drinks before we decide.” Magnus flashed another smile and Maia paused, looking between them.

“So, wait, how long have you two been together?”

Alec shrugged, “It’s been about six months, right?”

Magnus nodded, “and change, but who’s counting.”

Maia started mixing the drink again, “I was just surprised you let Max go with his family already.” She looked at Alec, “Most the time he comes in here angsting about it before he even lets people meet the kid. At least he realized he had a decent one this time.”

Alec coughed at that but understood what she was saying, Magnus spoke before he could say anything.

“One: Alexander is definitely the best person I’ve been with, Two: Izzy and Sherman are apparently Raphael’s mates, and Three: Alexander is Max’s father, so no angsting required.” Magnus reached back to pat Alec’s chest fondly.

Maia looked surprised, “Oh my god.”

“I know.” Magnus laughed and Alec couldn’t help but grin.

“You know what, I see it. Look at those eyebrows and that smile. Good luck ever saying no to the two of them.” She shook her head at Magnus and slid his drink to him. She set a lemon drop on the counter beside it with a pointed look at Alec.

“Oh, he didn’t—” Magnus started, but Alec wrapped his hand around the glass.

“You remembered?” He asked Maia who rolled her eyes and told Magnus, “Jace makes fun of him every time, it makes the drinks he does order stick. Let me know if you guys decide on food!”

She moved away from them and Alec cleared his throat and took a step back, giving Magnus some room to move away from the bar. Magnus simply turned so he was facing Alec and took a long drink from his glass, a small curl of steam rising.

“Is that tea?”

Magnus winked and took another sip, making the fondness in Alec’s chest shift into something hotter. It was unfair how good he looked, leaned back against the bar in the warm lighting, a touch of glitter in his hair and on his eyes that flashed when he’d winked. God, Alec loved him.

“I love you.”

Magnus’ expression softened and he used his free hand to cup Alec’s cheek, “I love you too.”

They stood just looking at each other until someone bumped into Alec with a muttered apology and broke the spell over them.

“Pool?” Alec asked.

Magnus’ gaze raked over him, speculative and Alec felt blood rush South as a slow grin spread across his features, “Oh, yes. Pool.”

—

After four games, the first two quick tests of one another and the next two slow rounds of torture watching Magnus bend and stretch and line up unnecessarily complicated shots, they ordered something to eat. Nearly done with game six, Alec was hungry for something he doubted was on the menu.

“You’re still very good at this.” Magnus told him, lips brushing his ear as they were both leaned over the table while Alec tried to focus on his final shot. The reminder of the last time they played, a world away, and the night that followed, was  very distracting; especially with the way Magnus’ scent was growing sweet, the spices deepening in arousal.

Alec held his breath and finished the game with a satisfying  click of the cue, well aware his own pine scent had gone vanilla and cinnamon to match Magnus’.

“Another game?” Magnus asked, casually chalking his cue.

“Next time.” Alec told him, tugging the stick from his hand to return them both to the wall where they belonged. He could feel Magnus’ eyes on him.

“I know it’s only two o'clock, but should we close our tab?” Magnus asked, looking at Alec through his lashes.

Alec didn’t look away from him as he made a motion at Maia to do just that. He could hear her scoffing  wow.. He’d tip her well to make up for the rude gesture.

She brought him his card, laughing a little at the face Magnus made when he realized that Alec had managed to pay for everything.

“You’d better come by with that kid of yours sometime, I want the family picture!” She took the bill that Alec held out to her with a smirk, “But right now, you’d better get out of here, before I have to start spraying scent neutralizers.”

She left them with that comment and color in both of their cheeks.

“Mine?” Magnus asked and Alec nodded, “It’s closer.”

Chapter 2

 They kept themselves together long enough to make the entrance through the tea shop. Magnus      did    need to let Lily know he wouldn’t be available for the rest of the day, and he thought they could use a moment.

 Alec gave his hand a squeeze and straightened his shoulders, striding ahead of Magnus through the tables of patrons. He paused long enough to glance at Magnus for a nod of approval and disappeared into the back room where the inner stair access was. Magnus forced himself to go to Lily instead of chasing after Alec, the heat in his blood not cooled in the slightest from their rather charged walk to the shop.

 “Leaving tall, dark, and in-love-with you to it by himself up there?” Lily asked, leaning her elbows on the front counter just to watch Magnus scowl at her. He didn’t bother this time, too used to Lily’s antics and too distracted by the image her words conjured. The thought of walking into his bedroom to the heady scent of vanilla and cinnamon that had been bleeding off Alec at the Hunter’s Moon, of Alec maybe unable to keep his hands to himself, trying to take the edge off his—

 “Magnus.” Lily was half-laughing at him, “I get it, you’re      busy.    Now, go away before I have to call Lightwood down to get his man.”

 Magnus cleared his throat, ignoring the way his cheeks were flushed, “Have a good shift.”

 “Uh-huh. You have a good—”

 “I will make you take inventory.” Magnus threatened, already stepping behind the curtain that separated the front counter from the back room.

 Lily only laughed at him.

 —

 Magnus found Alec standing in the living room. He was faced away from the door, his shoulders relaxed and his vanilla-cinnamon-pine scent settled in the room. Magnus watched his head shift slightly, aware of the omega in the room. It sent another flash of heat through him. Alec reached to the side, setting a mostly empty glass of water on one of the small tables.  His movements were careful, controlled in a way that they hadn’t been earlier today, and Magnus swallowed.

 “Everything taken care of?” He asked, finally turning to face Magnus.

 He was visibly breathing deeper, his eyes dark and attentive. Magnus had seen Alec focus on something before, on little things like making breakfast for Max, on taking care of Magnus during his heat, but he’d never been quite so obvious. Magnus waved a hand, watching Alec’s eyes track it, “All good.”

 Alec nodded and took a step toward him. Something in Magnus’ hindbrain warred with itself; thousands of years of evolution torn between backing away from the look in Alec’s eyes and submitting to the Alpha. Magnus licked his lower lip, breathing through the feeling and reminding himself that      he    was more than a match for Alexander.

 Something of his nervousness must’ve already bled into his scent, not that he was paying it much attention, because Alec paused, took a shorter breath, and very obviously shook himself. He was still every bit the Alpha in the room, but there was more of the sweet man that Magnus knew in his gaze, his stance went loose, and he smiled.

 “Sorry, got a bit in my head.”

 Magnus chuckled, stepping close and letting himself trail a hand over Alec’s arm, “You’ll get no complaints from me, darling.”

 Alec tipped his head enough to brush their noses together, sighing gently as Magnus ran his nails lightly up his shoulder and into his hair.

 “Still, I made you nervous?” Alec didn’t put any space between them, the soft question falling against Magnus’ lips.

 “Only because everything feels… new, with you. It wasn’t the bad kind of nervous.” Magnus admitted and caught the curve of Alec’s answering smile with his kiss.

 Alec tasted like the lemondrop he’d been having, and the tangle of their scents grew more intertwined as Magnus parted his lips to meet Alec’s eager tongue. The race of fire under his skin was both familiar and foreign, Alec’s touch an accelerant Magnus had nearly forgotten outside of the single moment during his heat.

 With a low sound, Alec walked them backwards between burning kisses until Magnus felt the press of his bedroom door against his back, the wood cool through the fabric of his shirt. Alec pushed against him, pinning him in place with his hips, his broad hands flash-burns as they slid under Magnus’ shirt, even as Alec licked into his mouth with a hungry sound. Magnus could feel the weight of Alec’s cock against his lower stomach, and he returned Alec’s eager kisses with biting, slick ones of his own.

 He used the leverage of the door behind himself to hitch a leg up, and trusted Alec to take his weight with the way they were pressed together, pushed against him until Alec caught on and both Magnus’ legs were around his waist.

 They parted, only to share breath, staring at each other for a burning moment. Magnus tried to get his mouth around any words that would move them away from the door, but his only coherent thought was, “Again.”

 Alec’s gaze went darker still and a low noise, undoubtedly from his secondary vocals, vibrated in his chest, making Magnus shudder in response and reach to open the door.

 They nearly crashed through it, but Alec seemed to be more in tune with his instincts, moving smoothly to keep Magnus held tight against him and using their momentum to twist them instead. Magnus found himself straddling Alec on the floor, mostly in the room.

 “That works.” He said, not caring they were doing a terrible job getting to the bed, and bent to bite at Alec’s jaw instead.

 “You okay?” Alec asked, hands already busy yanking Magnus’ shirt up.

 “More than.” Magnus said, ducking to let Alec pull the shirt over his head. He pressed his face into the crook of Alec’s neck and took a deep breath, groaning softly at the rich scent there. He rubbed his face against it, listening to the catch of Alec’s breath at the action, and sat back up with a grin.

 “Should we move this somewhere more comfortable?” Alec asked. He was gorgeous under Magnus, dark hair messy and skin flushed as he tipped his head back against the wood floor. With a slow roll of his hips against Alec, Magnus hummed like he was thinking, pushing his own hands under Alec’s shirt.

 “Are you saying you’re uncomfortable?”

 Alec settled his hands just above Magnus’ hips, “No.”

 With apparent ease, Alec lifted Magnus and slid out from under him in a move that highlighted how much strength and control over his own body Alec had. Magnus stared at him. He was not a small man himself, despite how Alec’s handspan felt around his waist.

 “Impressive.”

 Alec blushed at that, and Magnus felt some of the frenetic desire ease, especially as Alec offered him a hand. He took it, allowing himself to be helped to his feet and gently pulled toward the bed.

 “Exercise helps me think. Apparently, it helps me impress pretty men too.” Alec gave him a smug little smile, despite the redness of his cheeks.

 “Yes, yes it does.” Magnus gave him a slight shove, watching as he willingly tumbled back onto the pale gold sheets.

 “Going to have your way with me?” Alec asked, shifting enough to pull his shirt off before settling back against the pillows.

 “Yes.” Magnus said, voice layered with intent as the word reverberated in his throat, secondary vocals making themselves known. Alec sucked in a breath in response, and Magnus watched his pupils dilate. “Someone liked that.”

 Alec reached for his own belt, “I’m all yours, I’m just happy you know it too.”

 Magnus couldn't stop the soft smile that drew out of him; how Alec always managed to make him feel warm to his core from a simple sentence would always be a miracle to him. He watched Alec yank his own pants open and start wiggling against the sheets, obviously more than ready to finish undressing. All the skin on display made Magnus' fingertips tingle with the urge to touch all of him, but he held himself back, just taking it in. Alec stopped trying to get out of his pants, falling back against the sheets and giving Magnus an unimpressed look that made him laugh.

 "Well?" Magnus asked, raising an eyebrow and letting his gaze drag over Alec's body meaningfully.

 "Maybe I'm waiting for you." Alec gestured to Magnus, who was shirtless but still wearing pants and shoes.

 Magnus easily kicked off his shoes and, without a moment’s hesitation, dropped his pants so he was completely naked. He was rewarded by the sound of a low vibration rolling up Alec's throat as he stared, gaze like liquid heat as it raked over Magnus. Alec didn't bother playing anymore, twisting to shove his pants off and away and letting Magnus see him.

 He was gorgeous, his cock flushed where it curved against his stomach, thighs flexing slightly as his feet pushed impatiently against the bed as he made himself more comfortable. His lips were already red from their kisses, and his hair was messy and dark against Magnus' sheets. He looked at Magnus from under dark eyelashes as Magnus knelt on the bed beside him, and Magnus wasn't sure for a moment how he wanted this to go. He wanted a taste of everything, eventually, but he'd been assuming Alec would run this show, Alpha and filled with the determined, loving need like he was in the living room. Looking down at him, Magnus was certain that would be      very    rewarding. Just as he was sure, watching the way Alec kept looking back at his cock like he couldn't help himself and licking over his bottom lip, that Alec would enjoy being taken apart just as much.

 "Did you mean it?" Magnus asked, startled, almost, at how much deeper and rougher his own voice had gone, "I can have my way with you?"

 Alec gave him a long look and very deliberately tipped his head further into the pillows, baring his gorgeous neck to Magnus and staring at him over the sweep of his cheekbones. "Absolutely."

 Magnus groaned low in his throat and let himself fall on Alec then, lips sliding over his chest, enjoying the way Alec’s chest hair scraped against the softer skin of his cheeks. He bit lightly at the skin just above Alec's nipple, listening to the way his breath hitched at the feeling, only to press the flat of his tongue to the same spot and soothe the burn of his teeth. Alec sighed above him, relaxing again, and Magnus smiled against him, only to do it again, and again as he worked his way across Alec's chest. He laved his tongue over Alec's nipple, relishing the sharp noise and the way Alec twitched toward his mouth, clearly enjoying the attention.

 Magnus left his chest after another sharp bite, this time scraping teeth over his nipple, and trailed a line of hot kisses up Alec's neck. He could feel the coil of hot tension in his belly and lower that told him he was going to start slicking soon, something he hoped Alec would like. He hoped Alec would notice, would smell it on him, how much this was affecting him.

 He could certainly scent Alec's lust, especially as he pressed sucking marks to his throat, chuckling against the hot skin when he felt the way Alec was straining.

 "You can touch me." He murmured into Alec's ear, noticing how hard he was trying to keep his hands away from Magnus.

 Apparently, he'd only needed the permission. Alec's hand caught Magnus, tugging him until he was laying pressed against Alec, both of them gasping as their cocks settled pressed tight together. Magnus smirked, ready to say something he lost a second later as Alec used the hand he tangled in Magnus' hair to direct him into another mind-melting kiss. Alec knew exactly what he wanted as he kissed Magnus, sucking at his tongue and biting at his lip when Magnus tried to gentle him.

 When they parted again, Alec was mindlessly rolling his hips up, dragging against Magnus and pressing friction to their cocks. Magnus pushed up on his hands to look down at the two of them, the way Alec was longer than him, thicker at the base and absolutely proportionate.

     "Fuck."  

Magnus made his decision then, using his leverage over Alec, catching his hips with his knees and gripping his shoulders to roll them so Alec was covering Magnus, pressing him into the sheets. Alec didn't ask him, just looked amused and re-positioned them more comfortably. He caught one of Magnus' hands, and with an intent look, slowly raised it over Magnus’ head and pressed it against the pillows. Magnus arched against him, feeling himself slick at the movement and the weight and scent and everything about Alec above him.  He started to lean back down, clearly ready to continue driving Magnus crazy with his mouth, but he paused, nostrils flaring. Magnus watched his pupils dilate and his lips part as he dragged in a breath, obviously trying to taste the air.

 “      God.”    Alec pressed his face into Magnus’ neck, “You smell amazing.” He started kissing down Magnus’ neck, raising gooseflesh as he went. “Bet you taste even better.”

 Magnus moaned and bent his knees, happily giving Alec plenty of room to find out. Alec flashed him a satisfied smile, skimming a line of quick kisses down Magnus’ stomach and inner thighs. He paused to look up at Magnus, waiting, though Magnus wasn’t sure for what. The longer he stayed still, his hands gripping Magnus hips and his chest heaving as the air between them grew heavier with their scents, with Magnus’ desperate want, the less Magnus cared what he was waiting for.

 “      Alexander.”    He pressed out, teeth gritting around the word, as he flexed his core to push his hips up, trying to show Alec where he wanted him. Alec just watched him, tightening his hold on Magnus and helping lift him away from the bed. Magnus tried to kick at his shoulder, “Alec, please!”

 In a second Alec was turning him, flipping him and dragging him back so all Magnus could do was let himself be manhandled into place. He’d barely adjusted to the new position, ass in the air and facing his pillow, when Alec’s hands shifted to spread him, exposing him to the open air that immediately cooled slick against his skin.

 He didn’t try not to gasp and cry out when he felt Alec’s mouth against him. His own cock was aching between his legs, but he didn’t care about that or the way he was surely smearing makeup over the bedding. Alec's mouth was all heat, his tongue flicking against Magnus’ rim only to press insistently into him as Alec moaned, impatient to taste him fully. Magnus shuddered and pressed back against him as much as he could with how Alec was holding him. He bit down on the pillow in front of him as he felt the scrape of Alec’s teeth against sensitive skin; only to choke around it as Alec sucked at his rim. Magnus lost the next while to the delicious heat of Alec’s talented tongue and the sounds Alec made against him, registering the low sounds Alec made as more slick dripped from him.

 He found the willpower to move his arms again when Alec pressed the pad of his thumb against his hole, rubbing gently in tandem with slow circles of his tongue. He tried to reach the table where he kept lube but couldn’t get his hand to work well enough. He made a frustrated sound, only to sigh as Alec’s mouth left him. Alec’s hand caught his flailing one, winding their fingers together and squeezing as he let Magnus’ hips free, bending over his back to kiss his shoulder.

 “I’ve got you.” Alec said, voice rough from his recent activity. “Get comfortable for me, sweetheart.”

 Then the weight of him was gone, and Magnus rolled back over, taking deep breaths and watching through his half-lidded eyes as Alec found the lube, waving it at him with a smile. His mouth was redder than ever now, and Magnus distantly made a note to ask Alec not to shave, for next time. He was distracted from the thought as Alec rejoined him.

 Alec ran his fingers softly up Magnus’ leg, pulling it over his lap until he was kneeling between Magnus’ parted thighs, rubbing his hands over Magnus’ hips. The bottle of lube was cold where Alec left it on the outside of Magnus’ hip, but it didn’t bother him when compared to the heat of Alec’s skin.

 With smooth movements, Alec lifted Magnus’ right leg so his ankle rested on Alec’s shoulder. He sat back far enough it was a comfortable stretch, pressing kisses to Magnus’ calf and reaching to coat his fingers in lube. Magnus raised his own hands over his head, pleased enough to purr lowly as Alec smiled his approval of the movement.

 “That’s it, sweetheart.” Alec told him, sliding his fingers through Magnus’ slick to press unhurriedly against him, “Look at you, gorgeous and all on display for me.” Alec pushed his leg toward his chest, the stretch leaving him open to Alec’s hungry eyes. “I can’t believe I ever let you get away from me.”

 Magnus was glad to find the sorrow of their years apart, the sometimes still present bittersweetness of being together again, didn’t hurt him in this moment. Instead he felt a rush of gratitude, for what he didn’t know. Whatever had brought Alec back to him, had brought them here.

 Alec kissed his ankle and sunk a finger deep inside of him, and Magnus stopped      thinking.    He didn’t look away from Alec, watching Alec watch his own hand moving between Magnus’ legs. He looked like he was going to start drooling, lips parted as he panted, eyes dark and hungry.

 The gentle stretch of his finger didn’t last long before Magnus was impatient for more. He didn’t bother asking, deciding to show Alec what he wanted, since that seemed to work well enough. He started rolling his hips down, fucking himself on Alec’s finger. The spike in Alec’s scent, pine sharpening over the heady cinnamon, told him the message was received.

 “Impatient.” Alec chided him, voice warm with affection anyway. Magnus just laughed, the sound catching in his throat as his head fell back, Alec dropping out of his line of sight as he pressed two more fingers alongside the first. This stretch was all molten desire, the slick of Magnus’ body and the lube Alec was using liberally making wet sounds as Magnus worked his hips against Alec’s hand.

 “Alec.” Magnus gasped, his tongue too thick in his mouth as he tried to tell Alec what he wanted—needed.

 “I know, baby, I know.” Alec answered. “Look at me, Magnus.”

 Magnus made himself focus on Alec’s face despite the way pleasure made his eyelids flutter. Alec smiled at him, cupping his cheek with his free hand and dragging his wrist over Magnus’ cheek to leave a trail of his scent behind. Magnus pushed into the movement, aware of the instincts that drove him to do it and embracing them as he mouthed at the scent gland embedded in Alec’s wrist.

 “Magnus.” Alec said, moving his wrist away from Magnus' mouth. Right, he thought hazily, he was supposed to look at Alec. Even if it was hard to focus on anything but the fingers still inside of him and the scent of Alec so close to him. Alec drew his fingers out, and Magnus rolled against him, wanting the feeling back.

 “Alec—” He started, tongue still too thick but more of a warning in his tone now. He wanted more.

 Alec didn’t make him wait for it, with Magnus staring up at him, he filled him in one smooth movement of his hips. His strong arms on either side of Magnus as he leaned down for a kiss and swallowed Magnus’ gasping moans.

 Magnus couldn’t keep his hands over his head, not with Alec over him, in him, dragging sounds out of him as he ground into Magnus, tight and close. Magnus’ fingers scrabbled at Alec’s back, sliding over his shoulders as Alec bent low to lick fire over his throat, biting kisses following his tongue. Magnus thrust up to meet him, moving to grab at Alec’s ass even as he curved up to meet Alec’s mouth again.

 Alec made another low growling sound, the feel of it vibrating against Magnus lips. He sat up again, making Magnus’ nails dig into his lower back, a sound of protest leaving him at the space it put between them. Alec just smiled at him, something sharp in his gaze.

 His hands cupped Magnus’ hips, pulling Magnus along with him and making his eyes roll back at what the movement did to him. Alec’s cock pressed tight to his prostate, shifting inside of him just right as Alec spread Magnus out over his lap.

 “I—” Magnus tried to speak, but Alec chose that moment to thrust, hard, and he choked on the words. His eyes slipped closed as Alec repeated the movement.

 “You have no idea how you look, how much I’ve wanted this.” Alec said, words heavy with desire and an awed edge.

 Magnus reached for him, grateful when Alec let go of one of his hips to tangle their fingers together and squeeze. He made himself open his eyes again, watching Alec as he gently laid Magnus’ own hand against his stomach, Alec’s thumb trailing along the slight stretch marks from when he’d carried Max. Neither of them said a word about that, for now.

 Then Alec’s hand returned to his hips, and he flexed his fingers against Magnus’ skin, staring at him intently, and Magnus knew what he was planning.

 “Please.”

 Alec didn’t need to be asked again, thrusting into Magnus and using his grip on Magnus to pull him back into every movement. Magnus lost himself to the feeling. Alec’s scent blanketed him, his fingers pressed much-wanted bruises into his skin, their bodies met with a filthy sound. Alec was a burning heat inside of him and Magnus barely registered the way he was grabbing at Alec’s wrists, desperate. The heat inside of him coiled tighter, his heartbeat pounding in his ears as Alec took his cock in hand, squeezing more than stroking.

 He made a high, thin sound as he felt Alec’s knot, smaller than it would be during a full rut, but still perfect, press against him.

 “Shh, I’ve got you.” Alec said, as though Magnus would ever protest what Alec promised.

 Alec rolled his hips forward again, and Magnus could      feel    more slick rush out of him. He wanted more of Alec, always more. Alec groaned, obviously able to feel and smell the change.

 He released Magnus’ cock, making Magnus lurch up to try and stop him, only to realize Alec was gathering some of the excess slick on his hand. He groaned and fell back as Alec’s hand, wet and perfect, returned to his cock, stroking him firmly.

 “Ready?” Alec panted. Magnus looked into his eyes, almost all pupil now, and nodded.

 Alec thrust into him, his knot sliding past Magnus’ rim and sending lightning up his spine until it spilled out of him as a keening sound that was all instinct, the omega in him right at the forefront. Then Alec was grinding into him, hissing his name and panting, lost in his own pleasure, and Magnus felt like he was turning into liquid fire.

     “Fuck, sweetheart.”    Alec was half-moaning, tugging Magnus against him with one hand, the other working Magnus’ cock.      “Fuck.”  

 Magnus felt Alec’s cock jerk inside of him, and his head went to white noise as he came over Alec’s fingers, crying out and reaching for Alec blindly. He was distantly aware of Alec filling him, catching his hands in his trembling grasp.

 Eventually he came fully back to himself, relishing the loose, sensitive way his body felt. Magnus stretched, shifting so that Alec, who was slumped and panting but still mostly upright, could slide out of him.

 “I’ll get a towel.” Alec said, starting to slide toward the end of the bed despite the way Magnus could see him shivering.

 “No need.” Magnus pointed toward the side table where he kept the lube, and Alec rolled toward that instead, careful to mostly not smear fluid all over the place. Not that Magnus had any illusions about the state of his sheets.

 Once Alec had used the wipes and cloth Magnus kept for this sort of thing, though rarely ever had cause to use, to clean them up they curled together. Magnus’ head was pillowed on Alec’s shoulder, their legs tangled and Alec playing loosely with Magnus’ fingers over his own stomach.

 They lay in silence awhile, just enjoying the feeling of being together in the afterglow.

 “I love you.” Alec said, voice low and sincere.

 Magnus tipped his head, happily accepting a light kiss. “I love      you.”  

 “So, still good?” Alec asked, though Magnus could hear the teasing mischief in his voice.

 Magnus pretended to consider the question, tipping his head from side to side and laughing when Alec prodded him in the side. He kissed Alec again, because he could.

 “Very good. Better even. I’d say you had practice but… I have a suspicion you’re just a natural.” Magnus flashed Alec a grin to show he didn’t mind in the slightest.

 “You inspire me.” Alec agreed and Magnus laughed, happy and filled with love.  

Part six (Coming soon!)

[werlikesreblogging]

Well i havent posted in a while well, mostly because, i forgor

BUT

wow pretty busy really said fuck you f2p players

I didnt complain untill now so i think i can get a little treat

So ok prepare cause this will be a prob long post or just very well mostly negative about my whole expierence with this game because well I AM PISSED

So I acually first played this game around the time of its release (of couse because of the Leviathan Bath card lmao) but didnt like how the game looked like that much so i quit pretty much as soon as i started

Then my friend got me into it again and well i fell in love with the characters and the plot LITERALLY DONT JUDGE THE BOOK BY ITS COVER

And why am i talking about it well its because it was around the time of christmas gabriel nightmare pass and i was new so i just kinda didnt care about it back then

But now back to the present

so the whole reason im writing this is in the first place is obvs the nightmare pass

Like gabriel one, ppyong one i could live i was like ok it sucks but what can i do i can still get all the 7 kings eventually so thats fine

AND THEN VICTORY LUCIFER NIGHTMARE PASS CAME OUT

AND OMG ok i was like ok im pissed but its probably just the victory cards that will be in the nightmare pass right ?

WELL NO NOW BATH BEEL NOT EVEN A FEW DAYS AFTER LUCIFER'S

both of my favourite characters in a row well how nice

Dont even get me started on how fucked the pricing of it is like i payed for battle passses in games before im not even a total f2p and i was acually considering doing the same here because i mean its a small company and i really like this game so i might as well support it well no. not with this price.

And not only are there no new stories, previous events are payed if u havent read them, oh and if u want to reread them well fuck you too

I honestly havent even read the belphie's event cause i just really dont feel motivated to do it

Maybe its just me but unlocking the character card stories is also a little hard because getting the BEGINNERS candies is just annoying even though it well should be the easiest out of all of them

And the story is what made me get into this game as much as i did

I think it was the first time a game was so perfect for me when it comes to story length, and amount (i tend to get very overwhelmed when theres a lot of content)(I acually quit playing genshin impact after 2 years because there was no skip button)

The 5 chapters, all the events, some of the character's stories i read were all so interesting and fun

and well now we get literally no new content

plus like thats very personal but i would have loved it if this game had some sort of a routine because i feel like everything is such a mess ?

like now we get 3 fucking nigtmare passes in a row, new characters and event are so random and the main story well it left to get milk

also when i say i play this game for the story i really mean it because the battle system is really not my cup of tea overall the game mechanics im just not that big of a fun of that

+just the fact that PB hates that we share content of payed cards with each other but also puts important lore in it just man be fucking for real

I log in everyday just to log in and get my 10 key pull from the pancake shop to feed my gambling addiction and maybe get that mammon or satan attacker cards cause they are the only ones i lack from the ones u can acually get from the standard gacha at the moment

oh and now they erased the free 10 pull from the store huh

well with how little red gems we are getting say goodbye to any gacha in a fucking gacha game

Oh and also i dont know if anyone noticed but now selling S tealeaves gives u 6 pancakes and L tealeaves gives you 9.

3 pancake diffrence. For an S character and L character.

oh and lower grades just dont give you anything really i have like around 14 milion gold and books so yea

and while i wont have that much of a problem cause i already have most cards,most artifact, almost maxxed out bloodshed beelzebub (not his skills)

But now imagine you are a new player trying to get into this game.

And you cant read events unless you pay, u can do the story but i mean u might finish it quickly or it might get hard if u cant get any characters because well doing any gacha at all just got 1000 times harder,you just see another nightmare pass thats just expensive af, oh and a new character comes out and you didnt get lucky with your one ten pull that u managed to get after weeks of working ? well u have to wait 3 months TO MAYBE get it in the standard gacha that well you might do once a week maybe

and so the low maintence game i loved in a span of a few days changed for much much worse

I will probably keep on loging in just to see if maybe anything changes but i dont have my hopes high

ngl with how it looks like rn i doubt even asmodeus for who i was waiting so much for will change my mind about this game

what i need them to do is honestly just bring back the whole previous pancake shop along with this new nightmare one i feel like for me at least selling tealeaves for the normal pancakes and then if i have a lot of it i can changee into nightmare pancakes and then maybe exchange it for some thing would be much cooler and honestly i just want my very easy ten pull back........

for the nightmare passes just make then like i dunno every 3 months even would be better and just make it so that its smth special not neccessary or just make it more affordable for players to acually afford

and i mean what im saying is just random stuff i havent even thought about it that much there might be better ideas for what to do but i honestly wish the best for this game and what is happening right now is just pretty much ruining it for not only me but most players i doubt only f2p, cause even if you pay for a game u need a reason to do it if the game doesnt provide then you might as well go to a diffrent one

Ok i think thats pretty much all there might be more i wanted to say but well i forgor and well im gonna get bubble tea as a treat prob......

Thank you to @yourstarsmyscars and @tealeaves-and-rosepetals for the tags <3

1. How many works do you have on A03? 26!

2. What's your total AO3 word count? 264,972, but I don't think this is entirely accurate; some of those works are co-written for events and include stuff written by other participants.

3. What fandoms do you write for? ACOTAR

4. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not? I try my best! I'm here to make friends, so if you're in my comments section I'm like HI HELLO NEW BESTIE. But tbh I get distracted and don't always remember.

5. Have you ever had a fic stolen? Nope

6. Have you ever co-written a fic before? I have! I participated in a writing circle event last summer, where each fic was three chapters with a trio of authors writing each one, and I'm part of the @feysand-hivemind writing a "round robin" style fic.

7. What's your all-time favorite ship? It's probably a tie between Feysand and Sherlolly

8. What are your writing strengths? I'm good at coming up with buzzy, high-concept ideas that you can describe in a few words and still make people go "ooooooo I'm already obsessed, I need that NOW"

9. What are your writing weaknesses? I'm so bad at "crunchy specificity" - I tend to gloss over description or use descriptors that are too generic to be effective. With fic, I sort of use canon as a crutch and borrow a lot of descriptive language (or just say fuck it, the audience knows who these people/locations are lol), and it's a weak spot for me.

10. First fandom you wrote for? Artemis Fowl, baby's first book boyfriend, and I'll ship him with Minerva and defend her until the heat death of the universe

[aratedfreyjablog]

Thank you so much for that Solomon tears guide! I was about to pull my hair in frustration until I came across your post.

I do have another question though, how do you obtain pancakes for the shop? Is that a p2w feature or a higher level feature?

Thank you for your time again!

Hello! I'm glad that the post was useful!

To answer your question, pancakes can be obtained for all players, regardless being f2p or p2w, by selling either artifacts or tealeaves under Inventory.

When you go into Inventory and press under the "Tealeaves" or "Artifacts" tab you should be able to see the button that says "Organize"

Once you press "Organize", you can select which artifacts or tealeaves you want to sell. Then to actually sell those artifacts or tealeaves for pancakes, press "Sell".

For B-grade artifacts or tealeaves, you can get up to 5 pancakes.

A grade = 10 pancakes, A+ grade = 15 pancakes, and so forth.

I don't recommend selling any ARTIFACTS as you can use them to level-up other artifacts unless you have a ridiculous amount of the same artifact. Tealeaves are the best way to get the pancakes.

Hope this helps!

[coconox]

do you suggest using L units’ tealeaves to evolve? i’m wondering if the stat increase is worth it or if it’s a better investment to turn them into pancakes

i also saw someone say it’s better to evolve tanks than other types of units and i wonder if that’s true!

im always inclined to answer with "do whatever your gut tells you" LOL ok but fr—

short answer:

id suggest evolving tanks since e5 increases their number of blocks, for the other classes youre free to turn those tealeaves into pancakes :]

long answer:

realistically, the 66 + 6% atk increase doesnt make that big of a difference. to put it into perspective, that amnt of atk increase doesnt even reach +500 atk from their base stat. that 6% atk increase can easily be compensated through artifacts anyw. theres quite a few that ald give an atk boost + more (e.g. tea cup, bundle of money). same logic applies to atk spd increase for e5 close-rangers. the skill cd decrease at e5 can also be compensated w chars that decrease skill cd (phenix, gamigin, atker beel)

tanks on the other hand have evolves that focus on hp boost and increase block number. while hp boost is great and all the biggest selling point is having blocks increase from 3 to 5, which would come in handy for stages that have a crazy amnt of enemies that spawn in all at once

tbh in general the only thing that matters imo when investing in a char is their general lvl and what artifact theyre carrying, only skills that are worth looking at (aside from what youre req to lvl in unholy board) are ones that either increase healing output or decrease cooldowns, and evolves (aside from tanks) can straight up be ignored

so yeah its more worth to get pancakes than to evolve most chars on the roster, tanks are the only exception imo

[2af-afterdark]

I read your post about WHB tips, and thank you so much!! I think I’ve gotten the hang of the game, but aaahh there are still aspects which confuse me :’3

1. Where do we get Solomon’s Tear??

2. Where do we get the Tealeaves needed to evolve a devil??

3. Isn’t there an option to add Friends and send presents to other players?? Where do we find it on the menu?? I saw an old screenshot where the Friends menu could be accessed via Mission Pass but it’s gone :’>

Thank you again for your help TwT

Solomon's Tears can currently only be obtained via a daily quest (1 per day), as rewards for achieving certain account levels (level 15, 30, 45, & 60), or as rewards for certain accomplishments on the Mission Pass. They used to be available via trading pancakes, but they removed the pancake feature after a certain bug was found that allowed players to exchange tealeaves for pancakes at an extremely high rate. As of right now, Solomon's tears are very difficult to get, especially for how vital they are to basic gameplay.

Tealeaves are given automatically when you draw a duplicate of a character. To use them, go to the devil you have a duplicate of and click the 'evolve' button. Each character can be raised 5 extra times. After that, you will continue to build up tealeaves with no way to get rid of them.

At the moment, no. They removed that screen and the associated mission within 24 hours. It likely was not meant to be seen.

Short guide to get into Gongfu cha as a Beginner

So you wanna start and get into some high grade intact loose leaf tea? that's wonderful! Here are some things you should orient yourself with. First I recommend getting a cheap Gaiwan and a cup and sampling your way around! you gotta know what you like in order to let your tastes develop and your preferences form after all.

A Gaiwan is simply a cup with a lid and sometimes a saucer, it's a brewing vessel and the most simple there is! You simply put in the tealeaves, then add water, put the lid on in the correct position and, depending on size and grip, pour into the cup to make an infusion step. Making tea this way has various benefits, one of the biggest is that it is simply tastier than teabags and also yields more tea! Teabags have tea in them which is "dust" or "fannings" grade or simply broken up, this means that the extraction efficiency and time is strong, but with that you extract the entirety of the tea all at once, it's as if you were to listen to an entire album all at once on a low volume compared to brewing gong fu style where you listen to each song of the album step by step at decent volume, noticing the changes and the way it plays out. For the cup I recommend either getting 1 cup that has the same volume of your Gaiwan or getting 3 cups that have about 40% volume of your gaiwan so you can do what's called Chaozhou Style Gongfu brewing and essentially pouring the tea in a circular motion between the three tea cups. As for sampling, for the start I recommend getting a cheap yunnan black tea, a green tea, a white tea and with oolongs, get a green oolong like a Tie Guan Yin, a Dancong, a Yancha and potentially a darker roasted oolong. If you are daring also get a sample of Sheng and Shuo puerh to see if it's to your taste.

How to brew once you've got the equipment:

I recommend taking a good amount of tea like 5 to 10 grams per 100ml, using 80 to 95° c Water depending on how dark the tea is, i.e. green tea 80, green oolong 80-85°, darker oolong 90°, black tea 95°, puerh(sheng and shuo) 100° to clean and sterilize. Puerh has to be washed with a short rinse before u should drink it so just throw the first very short steep away.

For the length of the steep, usually you don't need to wait longer than 10-25 seconds to already pour into your cup, with puerh I would even do flashsteeps and almost immediately pour it into the cup! The steep time each step will usually look like this 10s - 5s- 10s- 15s - 30s - 60s The first needs a bit to soak and awaken the leaves, the 2nd and 3rd are usually always the strongest, then the following gradually go longer to stay at a certain level of extraction.

For beginners I usually recommend looking at Yunnansourcing, I don't recommend getting anything other than glass or porcelain regarding their wares!

Cruel Summer - Part 1 [JJ x Reader]

[A/N: Hi again. I've missed you. It was time for something new. I found this story in a dream. Prepare for a mental trip, it's indicative of the year i've had. This is gonna go in a million different directions and I can't say i'm surprised. Ive written two chapters and i'm already like ...well, fuck it i'm posting it...I needed to get back into writing and this is what I got so enjoy. I have a playlist I used while writing, comment if you want it shared. As always, not that any of us need the reminder....but there will be adult content (whatever that means) and language and NSFW content so...keep me off your screen at the dinner table. Love y'all ...Mossy x]

You ease your car into park, your hand resting on the gear shift, the tires slowly rocking back and forth on the soft ground as the engine dies. Sunlight streams through your windshield as a cloud of dust and sand settles around the car, and you feel a trapped breath release from deep in your chest. The quiet, melodic hum of music relaxes your shoulders and through the trees you can see the water rhythmically hitting the shore.

You haven’t been here in a few weeks and you're starting to feel it; the tight and uncomfortable tensing in your muscles, the locked jaw, the flat expressions. The closer it gets to the anniversary the more you feel the need to visit. But the frequency of your visits is dictated by Her, and She keeps tabs on your whereabouts a lot these days. ‘Its not healthy to spend so much time there’ She would say to you, while pulling a Valium out of her bag to slide towards you. She has your therapist on speed dial on the landline. And she blames you for living in the past. Ironic.

You pull your keys out of the ignition, unbuckle your seatbelt, and let your muscle memory guide you out of the car and through the trees to the edge of the embankment where the sand and the sea grass take over. Flashes of Lacey running down the beach in front of you, looking back over her shoulder and laughing, are burned into your eyelids when you blink. She was everywhere here, every corner of this beach belonged to her. Her towel spread out on the sand at your feet, books with water damaged pages scattered across it, her bag tossed lazily to the side. Her board perched against the log you used to dry out your wetsuits. Her camera.

You close your eyes and listen to the wind move through the grass, her laugh echoing off the rocks. Come on! She would laugh with an outstretched arm. Come take a picture with me.

Her lips were supple and her nose was sun kissed, her hair bleached and tousled from the saltwater. She would motion for you to come over and you would go, because you always did, to fit into the frame next to her, cramming yourself in wherever you could after she found her best angle. She would hold up the camera and wrap her arm around you tightly, the smell of her tanning oil and sweat floating around you in a heady cloud, and at the last moment she would press her lips to your cheek and whisper cheese.

You blink and look at the water again, a seagull squawking as it flies over the empty beach. Reaching into your jeans pocket and feeling for the photo, you pull it out and look down, the moment she clicked the button frozen in time on the paper in your hand. Her side profile was radiant, the wind blowing her hair around her lips which were pressed to your face, you looked straight at the camera with a shy smile, a hidden smile, a quiet smile. An honest smile.

You run your thumb across the picture reflexively before sighing and putting the picture back in your pocket, it was one of the last photos you had together and it was one of the only ones you could clearly make out your own face. That always bothered you. Now you’ll never forget how happy we were today. I love you. She shook the polaroid until it was developed, then pressed it into your chest and winked, waiting for you to grab ahold of it, before turning on her heal and running towards the water.

Your chest burns for a moment before you straighten up and set your jaw. You feel good today, closer to her than usual. Today might be the day. You follow the path through the dunes towards the water and concentrate on the tide, watching the foam and the water snake along the shoreline. It’s windy, but not as windy as it usually is this time of day. The sky, clear and clean of any clouds, is the colour of blue that reminds you what happiness is. Or was, you know, before all the shit happened. When life was something you had the ability to process, sometimes even enjoy.

Now or never. Your head whips up at the sound of her voice and you see her, standing in the water. You feel the blood rush to your face, your core warming. There she is, running a hand up her stomach towards her chest and smiling at you, the kind of smile that would get good people into bad situations.

Slowly you slide your sneakers off and kick them aside, wiggling the sand between your toes. You’re not wearing a bikini but the beach is empty, so you close your eyes and listen to Lacey laughing from the water, come on scaredy cat, nobodies looking, as you peel your top off and drop it into the sand beside your shoes. You unbutton your shorts next and let them slide down your legs, stepping out of them hesitantly.

Lacey walks out of the water, so you keep your eyes closed, knowing if you open them she will be gone, and you wait for her to bite her lip and smile at you. There. Look at your body. You’re beautiful. Come on. She guides you towards the water with nothing but her own bare skin and confidence, nothing could ever touch her. You know its only a few steps until your feet are in the water, you should open your eyes and look around to make sure nobody is watching, but you don’t get to see her often anymore between the Valium and the other stuff, so you forgo it for a few more seconds. Today is the day, you have to do it. Time is running out. She’s all but told you as much.

“I miss you” You say, but your voice sounds foreign and it breaks and scatters into the wind.

Im right here. Lacey smiles at you like she always did, her crooked dimpled grin, her perfectly straight white teeth, her eyes shining. Now shut up and get in the water.

You feel the warm dry sand turn to wet firm sand beneath your feet, you know you’re close. It’s ours, all of it. The water. Just let go and let the Ocean carry you. You’re weightless. Isn’t it perfect?

Your breathing is shallow and your palms are clammy. There’s a tingling sensation in your thighs and you feel dizzy. You have to open your eyes. No, don’t. Not yet. Stay with me.

The water touches your toes and your eyes shoot open, you recoil and lose your footing, falling backwards. You crab crawl away from the water until the tide retreats and you feel your vision tunnelling as Lacey fades into the sunbeam above the water.

You scramble back to your clothes and pull your shorts above your sand stained underwear, your shirt smoothing your hair down as it settles back over your shoulders. You take a few deep breaths until your heart rate slows down. A tear springs up and sits in your eye for a few moments before falling and drying on your cheek. The beach is the best place to cry. The ocean is loud so nobody hears you, and the sun is hot so the tears dry fast.

You don’t want to turn around and look back at the water, you know she won’t be there. You’re alone, properly alone, just like she said you would be, psychic bitch. If she hadn’t been so charismatic and beautiful and conveniently wealthy, people would have outcasted her for being a freak a long time ago. What with all the tealeaves and palm readings and ‘gut feelings’. But they never did, her family had more money than the Kennedys and she looked like she walked runways for fun on the weekends, so she was untouchable. Your stomach starts to turn as you think about it so you blink the ground in front of you back into focus and start walking.

You have a few minutes of freedom left before She starts calling and asking where you are, so you walk slow to savour it. Who knows when you would be allowed out long enough again to go back.

You emerge from the tree cover into the parking area, pondering how many different routes you can take to get home to elongate the drive, when you hear a car door close. You look up, pulled from your thoughts, and squint to see through the bright sun.

“‘Scuse me!” A voice says, deep and friendly. A silhouette is moving towards you, so you bring your hand up to block the sun from your eyes. “Hey, sorry, do you live around here?”

You blink a few times as the silhouette gets closer and make out the figure of a tall man with wispy hair and baggy shorts.

“Sorry?” You reply, still trying to get a clear image.

“Im just trying to find the Marina but I have taken at least 5 of these side roads and all I keep finding is empty damn parking lots.” The man stops a few feet from you, close enough that you can make out a tan face with a toothy grin, and blonde hair. “First one with a pretty girl though, so I must be going the right way.” He smiles at you confidently, shielding his own eyes from the sun, but still squinting.

You look back over your shoulder to the beach, confirming Lacey is gone. You turn and look at the man who is watching you intently, hopefully, and smile quietly.

“Yeah, it’s uh…its just back on the main road, go 3 clicks south and take a right at the fork. You’ll see a fancy sign for a beach club, it’s just past that.” You look past him to the old Ford truck with rusted wheel wells and smile to yourself. “Assuming you’re not going to the beach club.”

The man laughs and smiles, looking over your shoulder at the beach before his eyes settle back on you. “Nope. Never been to one of those…legally.” He winks and backs up a few steps, then nods and says “Thanks” before turning and walking back towards his truck. He slows as he reaches it and stops, then turns back and pivots before jogging back to you.

You wait and watch, curious. He stops a few steps away and stretches out his hand.

“Sorry. That was rude of me. Im JJ.”

♫ mollymauk perhaps?

OKAY, SO FULL DISCLOSURE... My Molly playlist is 300 songs deep and I don't know what songs are on E V E R Y Molly playlist (but I have an idea) so what could have been an easy nine song EP has turned into me putting way more thought into it than I should in the HOPES of mostly having original choices.

1. The Other Side- Hugh Jackman and Zac Efron So trade that typical for something colorful/And if it's crazy, live a little crazy/You can play it sensible, a king of conventional/Or you can risk it all and see

If this is on every Molly fanmix... Fuck it. This is my favorite Molly song. It's going on here.

2. You Get What You Give- Pomplamoose This whole damn world could fall apart/You'll be okay, follow your heart/You're in harm's way, I'm right behind/Now say you're mine

My Molly and Yasha song. I'd like to imagine this song playing as he tries to lead her through a more colorful world and open up a bit.

3. And if Venice Is Sinking- Spirit of the West Venice is sinking/I'm going under/'Cause beauty's religion/And it's Christened me with wonder

An ode to passionate nihilism and the love of appreciating beauty while it's here. Perfect for Molly.

4. The Wide-Eyed and the Laughing- Elton John For the wide-eyed and laughing/Passed like a season/Erasing a passion to sing/For no one knew better than the tealeaves and the tarots/That the wide-eyed and laughing/Were just one step ahead of the wind.

I don't think I have to explain this one. LOOK AT THE LYRICS.

5. Back & Forth- Foo Fighters Holdin' my breath I waited and waited/How'd the simple life get so complicated?/Shoes to fill, secrets to spill down you/Deer in the headlights, spoke in the wheel/You want pretend, I need for real/I'm takin' it back, all my IOUs

This is my song for Molly, post learning about Lucien. The Zone of Truth Scene and Lucien in general, specifically.

6. The Life of the Party- Idina Menzel Who needs money?/Not me/Who needs fortune or fame?/I don't need a new career, a sympathetic ear, a name./All I need is time to play, only want the game./Point me to the mic./I know what I like. An ode to hedonism and attention-seeking. He's such an arrogant little fuck.

7. I Constantly Thank God For Esteban- Panic at the Disco Give us this day our daily dose of faux affliction/Forgive our sins/Forged at the pulpit with forked tongues selling faux sermons/Because I am a new wave gospel sharp, and you'll be thy witness/So gentlemen, if you're gonna preach/For God sakes, preach with conviction!

I love Molly best when he's a grandstanding showman pushing his agenda on people.

8. I Was Here- Beyonce I wanna say I lived each day, until I died/I know that I had something in somebody's life/The hearts I have touched, will be the proof that I leave/That I made a difference and this world will see You can't say he didn't leave a mark.

9. The Line Begins to Blur- Nine Inch Nails The more I stay in here/The more it's not so clear/The more I stay in here/The more I disappear

YEAH, LET'S END IT ON A DARK NOTE, SHALL WE? This is absolutely my Molly merged with Lucien song.

you take a pregnancy test (tom holland)

pairing: y/n x tom holland

type: angst / fluff

a/n: i’m writing again! send me an ask to join the tag list my guys.

“Is it done?” Tom hastily asks you.

“24 more seconds,” you respond, eyes glued to the timer on your phone.

“Now?” Tom asks again after a moment of pacing back and forth like an impatient child on a road trip.

“No, Tom,” you tell him, slightly annoyed by the situation and his constant questions. As Tom continues to pace, the clock ticks down 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. The loud ringing fills your ears and alerts Tom to the situation. Silently, you both gravitate towards the white stick waiting on the kitchen counter.

“It’s time, love,” Tom reminds as you stare motionlessly down at the pregnancy test.

“I can’t do it,” you say exasperated, learning into Tom’s familiar shoulder. He catches your gentle weight and wraps his two arms around you, keeping you firm in his grasp. Slowly, Tom reaches for the test and begins to flip it over, revealing two pink lines.

“There’s two,” Tom states. “What does two mean?” You turn to face him now, holding his soft face in your shaking hands. His arms hold tight onto the kitchen counter behind you with you in between them.

“It means that I’m pregnant, Tom,” you say with a hint of fear in your voice, awaiting his reaction.

“You’re really pregnant?” Tom asks you in disbelief.

“I’m really pregnant,” you confirm, your breath waiting on what he says next.

“Whatever you want, I’m there for you,” Tom begins, a wave of relief taking over your body. “I know we’re young but I know we can do this,” Tom says before quickly correcting himself; “If that’s what you want, of course. If you’re not ready then we can go from there. It’s up to you”

“I don’t know,” you confess.

“That’s okay,” Tom reassures you. “I’ll be here to help you figure it out.”

“You’re not gonna leave me?” You ask your boyfriend in disbelief.

“It’s you and me, love.” Tom tells you with a single kiss on your forehead.

Side Stories One Two Three Four Five Six

You and Steve walk hand in hand, your arms swinging a bit.

“Does Tony cook?” He asks.

You laugh a bit and look over at him. “What?” You ask.

He looks at you. “Dinner. This weekend. Does he cook?” He asks.

You laugh louder and shake your head. “No, neither of my parents knew their way around a kitchen.” You say.

“So…take out?” He asks you.

You shake your head. “No, actually…I’ll be cooking.” You say and look over at him.

It makes him blush, you don’t know why. “You cook?” He asks.

You nod. “Quite well, if I say so myself.” You say.

He stops you and stares at you. “We’ve been dating for nine months and I never knew you could cook.” He says.

You chuckle softly. “We have not been dating for nine months we’ve been going on dates for nine months. You just barely made it official.” You remind him, teasing him a bit. “Yeah, I can cook. I also can dance. I went to theatre camp. I played footie for a while.” You say.

“Footie?” He asks and furrows his brows.

“Soccer.” You say. “Dad…wanted me to know more than science and math. So…he put me in all kinds of classes growing up. Mum hated it, thought it was a waste of time and talent. I think dad may have been devastated when I went in to science after all. He felt better when I told him it was my choice, he never wanted me to feel pressured into it. And I wasn’t, not by him.” He says.

“What about your mother?” He asks softly.

You sigh and hesitate. “My mother…says I was bred to be extraordinary. She wanted me to be a brilliant scientist like her, dad just wanted me to be happy.” He says softly.

He nods a bit. “I uh…googled you.” He admits sheepishly.

Your eyes widen dramatically. “Google? Wow, that’s quite savvy of you Stevie.” You tease

He rolls his eyes and just cocks an eyebrow at you.

You smile. “And what did you find?” You ask.

He hums. “You’re quite popular.” He says. “Your mom was Katherine Clarke…She uh..” He clears his throat.

“Was another person trying to replicate Erskine’s Formula?” You ask. “Or did you mean the fact that she went crazy and killed herself?”

His eyes soften. “Sweetheart…” He says softly.

You shake your head. “It’s okay. My mother was a remarkable woman, but she had her demons like everyone else.” You say. “She never got the formula quite right. At least not all in one go. She got pieces…the accelerated healing, the metabolism stuff…but all of that was…decades ago. While she was pregnant with me actually.” You say.

His eyes widen. “What?”

You just nod. “Yeah, some of it got passed on to me.” You stammer a bit. “Most of it got passed on to me. It’s why I could keep up with you out there I think.” You say softly. “I’ve never really looked into it. That was her world…not mine. I’ve never wanted it to be mine. But…” You sigh, “I think I’ve gotta look into it. Because things are just…weird.” You say and smile weakly. “Sorry…I’m not trying to freak you out. I promise I pursued you because I like you and not because my mother was obsessed with you.” You say quickly.

He frowns and you start to panic. “I swear Steve. This,” You gesture between the two of you. “is real and organic and not some sick set up.”

He just keeps frowning. “You pursued me?” He asks with a raised eyebrow.

You gape at him for a moment. “Yes. Literally yes. We are standing here right now because I was incredibly persistent.” You say.

He laughs. “I think you and I remember the last nine months very differently, sweetheart.”

Your jaw drops. “You’re kidding right?” You say and laugh. “Stevie I practically had to bait you to get you to go on one date with me.” You say.

He shakes his head. “That is not true. I am the one who took us from friends to more.”

You just laugh because you can’t believe he thinks that but you also know trying to argue with Steve Rogers is futile.

You just tuck yourself into his side, he wraps an arm around your shoulders. “Whatever you say, Cap.” You chuckle. He kisses the top of your head.

You stay close to each other over the next few days. You practically live in each other’s pockets. Neither of you seem to have the ability to say goodbye. You spend a couple nights at his flat and a few at yours.

“You sure Tony isn’t going to be mad that I’m coming?” Steve asks as you both get ready to head to the tower for dinner.

“You’re my person Steve.” You say softly. “That means you very much belong at family dinners. Dad seems pretty fond of you anyway.” You say and kiss his jaw and pull off his tie. “Don’t need that.”

He frowns. “I want to make a nice impression.” He says.

“He already knows you baby.” You remind him.

“Sure…but this is the first time you’re bringing me home as your boyfriend.” He says.

You kiss him softly. “It’s going to be fine. No tie.” You say softly. “This is a casual family dinner. Nothing scary, nothing intense. This isn’t a test Steve. I’m already yours. You’re already mine. We’re just going to my dad’s for dinner.” You say.

He nods slowly and kisses you softly. “Okay.” He whispers.

You both finish getting ready and head to the tower. You call a car service because you are absolutely not getting back on that motorcycle of Steve’s.

You get in the elevator of the tower and type in a code.

“Good evening Miss Clarke, Captain Rogers.” JARVIS says over the speakers.

“Hi Jarvis.” You say.

The elevator stops at the penthouse floor and opens to let you and Steve out.

“Olive?” Tony calls from the kitchen.

“Hi dad.” You call back. You take Steve’s hand and tug him along to the kitchen.

“Cap.” Tony greets, raising his drink.

“Tony.” Steve says back.

“Reconstruction is going well.” You say.

Tony nods. “Yeah, it’s gonna all look really nice once everything is finished.”

You walk over to the fridge and open it, taking out everything you’ll need for dinner.

Steve and Tony sit at the bar and chat while you cook. Pepper joins them eventually, and so does Bruce.

You walk over to Pepper and hug her.

“Your father is losing his mind.” She chuckles. “You having a boyfriend may do him in.”

You chuckle and roll your eyes. “I’ve had boyfriends before.” You say.

She nods. “You’ve just never brought them home.” She says.

You hum softly and look over at Steve. “Well, he’s special.” You say with a soft blush on your cheeks.

“Must be if you’re subjecting him to this.” She says.

You put dinner in the oven and walk over to your two favourite men. You wrap your arms around Steve’s shoulders and kiss his cheek. “You boys playing nice?” You ask softly.

“Of course we are, Praline.” Tony says. “I’m quite fond of your boyfriend.” He says.

You smile and kiss Steve’s cheek again when he turns red.

Dinner goes well. Steve is very impressed at your ability to throw together an actual meal. Pepper has to leave pretty soon after, she’s quite busy running a business.

You sit around in the living room, Tony walks up to you.

“Peanut, there are something things we need to talk about. Regarding your mom.” He says gently. You swallow thickly and look at him.

“Why?” You say quietly.

“Because…there were apparently things going on that I wasn’t aware of. Things that…need to be explored a bit more.” He says.

Steve frowns and sits up putting an arm around you.”What are you talking about Tony?” He says.

He sighs. “Olive…I think your mom was experimenting on you. And we need to test you for enhancements.” He says.

Steve’s arm tightens a bit around you.

You just stare at your father.

[shocotate]

📚 for the fanfic headcannon please :3

Thanks for the ask ^_^ In the spirit of the season and the secret santa, I’ve chosen my fic Avarice Makes Strange Bedfellows, written for the secret santa back in 2017.

Headcanons for “Avarice Makes Strange Bedfellows”

1. Because I wrote this for a secret santa assignment, I decided to give Pride and Greed red and green tailcoats respectively. The fic is actually set in the autumn and has nothing to do with anything festive of course, but the colours suit them anyway.

2. Though Pride refused to ‘spar’ with Greed using his container, it wasn’t a total loss outside of just having fun. Stealing the matches from his pocket inspired Pride to start carrying matches around himself (they were only invented recently in the time the fic is set) just in case he needed a light source.

3. When Lust and Envy finally reach New Optain Greed probably has a new scheme up his sleeve for the four of them. He’s going to either set up a café or small hotel in the town with them running it as a family for a couple of months until their mission is complete. Of course Lust only deals with the front of house stuff and isn’t allowed to cook :3c

4. I wanted to alternate a lot between Pride and Greed’s POV, but originally the scene of Pride standing in the puddle was written from his POV, but I moved a lot of his observations to a later scene. Also at this point Greed was going to be figured out by the Xingese shopkeeper in this scene, rather than later at the bar, but that didn’t end up happening and he buys the tealeaves without a problem :3c

5. Like how he wears sunglasses in the series, Greed likes wearing regular spectacles too, though he obviously doesn’t need them. He usually gets the lenses replaced with normal glass whenever he buys a new pair so he can actually see through them properly.

Send me a name of a fanfic I wrote And i’ll give you five facts/headcanons about it!
