Pessoal, foco aqui! Por motivos de surpresa e logística, estou pensando em iniciar o subplot de Halloween amanhã. Calmem, não se desesperem em relação a interações, starters, etc. Subplot não é evento e o evento de fato acontecerá apenas no fim de Outubro, subplot é apenas uma iniciação no cenário de Halloween do RP. Na verdade, aproveitem e deixem algumas interações nos rascunhos e me agradeçam depois. 🙏

Um spoiler? Em um outro RP de contos de fadas meu, houve uma dinâmica de Halloween em que os players trocavam interações por dinheiro para comprarem as suas fantasias mágicas de Halloween. Como foi algo super divertido por lá, eu vou trazer para cá, embora com diferenças...

Vocês topam que o subplot comece amanhã?

[venettahq]

✶   𝐀𝐃𝐌 𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐄    ›    boa tarde, players! como estão por aí? passando para dar alguns recados em relação a nossa abertura para interações. fui pelo voto da maioria, e a data escolhida foi ..... TANANANAA :

25/11, às 20:00   :    interações liberadas  .

''mod evie, teremos evento de abertura?'' sim e não. tivemos votos consideráveis para abrir o rp sem evento, para adaptação, então decidi juntar 2 em 1. será mais como uma atração, porém permitindo que interajam em outros lugares da cidade também. amanhã vocês vão entender melhor como vai funcionar ♡

enquanto isso, aproveitem o domingão para se apresentarem no blog ooc, combinarem plots e postar a intro do seu personagem. estou muito animada, então espero por vocês amanhã!

deem like nesse post para eu saber que leram o aviso*

Bom dia / boa tarde amorinhas. Então, um tempo atrás, enquanto atualizava as listas, minha energia caiu. Eu achei que tinha conseguido salvar tudo, mas aparentemente fui tapeada. Com força. Tem chars que deixaram de existir???? Como estamos em +130 personagens, vou precisar da ajuda de vocês. Tenho quase certeza de que agora está certo agora, mas...

Tenho quase certeza de que agora está certo agora, mas... Se cada um puder conferir se os respectivos chars estão direitinho. FC listado, todos presentes, ia ser... Eu vou chorar de felicidade. Porque eu tô olhando aqui essa monstruosidade que eu criei e tô tentando não chorar com a possibilidade de ter que fazer TUDO de novo.

A relação da Geração Z com o mercado de trabalho:

A Geração Z, composta por indivíduos nascidos entre meados da década de 1990 e início dos anos 2010, está transformando o mercado de trabalho com suas características únicas e expectativas distintas. Sendo:

Pontos Positivos:

1-Habilidades Tecnológicas: A Geração Z é a primeira a crescer completamente imersa na era digital. Eles possuem habilidades tecnológicas inatas, o que os torna extremamente adaptáveis a novas ferramentas e plataformas digitais.

2-Multitarefa e Agilidade: Esses jovens são conhecidos por sua capacidade de realizar múltiplas tarefas simultaneamente e por sua agilidade mental. Eles conseguem captar e processar informações rapidamente, o que é uma vantagem em ambientes de trabalho dinâmicos.

3-Consciência Social e Diversidade: A Geração Z valoriza a diversidade e a inclusão. Eles buscam ambientes de trabalho que respeitem e promovam essas questões, o que pode levar a culturas corporativas mais inclusivas e inovadoras.

4-Busca por Propósito: Essa geração não está apenas em busca de um emprego, mas de um propósito. Eles querem trabalhar em empresas que tenham um impacto positivo na sociedade, o que pode impulsionar as organizações a adotarem práticas mais sustentáveis e socialmente responsáveis.

Pontos Negativos:

1-Dificuldade com Rotina e Hierarquia: A Geração Z pode ter dificuldades em se adaptar a estruturas hierárquicas rígidas e rotinas tradicionais. Eles preferem ambientes de trabalho flexíveis e horizontais, o que pode ser um desafio para empresas mais tradicionais³.

2-Imediatismo e Independência: Acostumados com a rapidez da era digital, esses jovens podem ser imediatistas e esperar resultados rápidos. Além disso, sua independência pode ser interpretada como falta de comprometimento ou dificuldade em trabalhar em equipe.

3-Desafios de Comunicação: Apesar de serem proficientes em comunicação digital, a Geração Z pode enfrentar desafios em habilidades de comunicação interpessoal. Isso pode afetar a dinâmica de equipe e a colaboração no ambiente de trabalho.

4-Expectativas Altas: Eles têm expectativas altas em relação ao equilíbrio entre vida pessoal e profissional, benefícios e oportunidades de crescimento. Empresas que não conseguem atender a essas expectativas podem ter dificuldades em atrair e reter talentos dessa geração.

A Geração Z traz uma nova perspectiva ao mercado de trabalho, com suas habilidades tecnológicas, agilidade e consciência social. No entanto, também apresenta desafios, como a adaptação a estruturas tradicionais e a necessidade de comunicação interpessoal. As empresas que conseguirem equilibrar esses pontos positivos e negativos estarão melhor posicionadas para aproveitar o potencial dessa geração e promover um ambiente de trabalho inovador e inclusivo.

I'm being so normal about my favorite song

In my dreams

And crawling from my sleep

Is a liminal dichotomy

A parasitic effigy

----

Liminal: A state of transition. In popular culture, might be related to the uncanny valley phenomenon

Dichotomy: Duality, contrast

Parasitic: That causes harm and feeds off of a host

Effigy: A representation of a hated figure

----

The uncanny overlap of or transition between two opposing things

Won't be left alone by someone whom he hates

----

The uncanny contrast between love and hate for someone who hurts him so much, yet he won't let him go. The point where hate turns into obsession all over again

Bom dia, pessoal!

Não venho com notícias muito boas… Infelizmente, eu vou ter que encerrar as atividades do Lost. Tomei a decisão essa madrugada e decidi seguir com ela. Minha rotina de estudos está apertada e eu não consigo me dedicar da forma que o Lost merece. Acaba que me sinto desanimada também com o peso da minha vida pessoal... E aí fica realmente difícil manter uma central dessa maneira 😞 Do início do ano pra cá, aconteceram muitas coisas e algumas bem tristes como a enchente, e eu estive com vocês em todas! Então me parte o coração ter que tomar essa decisão agora. Mas eu sinto que é melhor encerrar a memória do Lost como um lugar divertido e que fez bem a todos nós do que como um lugar que a mod começou a negligenciar porque o desânimo acaba sendo aparente.

Preciso confessar também que, nos últimos tempos, tenho estado desanimada para seguir com o plot do RP… Senti um desânimo vindo da comunidade e comecei a me culpar, culpar o plot, a história… E acabou virando uma bola de neve. Tivemos uma alta repentina de muita atividade, e uma baixa extrema logo em seguida, e isso acabou atacando as minhas inseguranças/minha confiança como moderadora… De que eu não fiz o suficiente, ou o plot do RP não foi bom o suficiente, ou que o que eu propunha não atraía nem interessava os players.

Vocês talvez me conheçam de outros RPs ou só desse aqui. Sabem, ou eu espero que saibam!!, que meu carinho pela criação e pelos players vai muito além do só moderação. Considero vocês amigos! Partners. Pessoas com quem eu quero jogar mais vezes. Eu gosto de entregar o melhor que eu posso… e se eu não posso dar esse melhor, então eu não acho justo manter vocês de molho em algo. Espero de coração que possam me entender. Imagino que vá ser triste, mas com o tempo, as memórias boas são as que prevalecem e a gente se encontra de novo! ❤️❤️❤️ Foi muito divertido estar aqui com vocês pelos últimos meses.

Gostaria de poder voltar com o Lost um dia, ou com algum dos meus RPs da trilogia que eu moderei. Seria incrível encontrar vocês de novo no futuro! ❤️

Deixo aqui meu contato no Telegram e Discord para todos aqueles que quiserem me procurar e manter contato! Eu adoraria.

virginiawoolfs no telegram e discord (sim, meu nome é duda pra quem já não sabe 🫣)

Obrigada por tudo! Foram meses incríveis, com pessoas e personagens incríveis! Espero ver vocês de novo. Com muito amor, mod Anna.

THE WHITE HOUSE is worried that Iran might strike a U.S. target as part of a potential retaliation for Israel’s April 1 attack on its embassy in Damascus, Syria, according to notes from a meeting involving National Security Council officials earlier this week. Tehran has vowed that “Israel will be punished” for the Syria strike and the killing of Quds Force commander Mohammad Reza Zahedi. New concern about a potential Iranian strike comes even though the Biden administration has sought to distance itself from the Israeli airstrike, stressing that it had no advance knowledge of the operation. “I don’t have anything more to say about the strike in Damascus, except that we weren’t involved in any way whatsoever,” NSC spokesperson retired Adm. John Kirby said on Monday. On Monday night, Iran conveyed to the Biden administration that if it involved itself in defending Israel were Tehran to undertake a retaliatory strike, it would consider the United States a viable target as well. The issue was discussed at a Tuesday NSC meeting, according to notes reviewed by The Intercept. (The NSC did not respond to a request for comment.)

Since then, the U.S. has quietly conducted talks with Iranian officials to seek to avoid direct confrontation between the two countries’ armed forces, according to CNN and other media reports. On Sunday, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said that Biden and his team are working to prevent escalation with Iran in the Middle East. On Wednesday, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said that Israel “must be punished and it shall be.” That same day, Israeli Foreign Affairs Minister Israel Katz said his country would respond with a direct attack. “If Iran attacks from its own territory, Israel will respond and attack in Iran,” Katz posted on X. Since April 2023, the U.S. and Israel have been in close cooperation in sharing and building common Iran contingency plans.

wet dreamz pt.2 || jake x reader

[ part 1 here ]

note: it’s finally here !! i want to point out that jake is much softer (?) than i intended but i love him like this.. he’s my lover boy 🫂 anyway i rly hope you guys enjoy this because i had to scrap the original and start over omg it was a mess and work got in the way too TT but i definitely have some more jake coming soon that im so excited for !! leave ur thoughts & suggestions too plsss 🙏 [i haven’t proofread im so sleepyyyy bye]

after you sent jake that last text, inviting him over to your place, he didn’t respond. which was understandable considering jake never knew how to respond when you flirted with him, always blushing and stuttering out an awkward reply.

so as you got ready to meet up with some friends, putting on a small black dress and your favorite sparkly heels, you were surprised to hear a couple knocks at your door. even more surprised when you found jake standing there, holding a beautiful bouquet of flowers.

“jake, what are you doing here?” you asked, feeling yourself blush, the flowers throwing you off your game a bit. no guy had ever turned up with flowers for you, especially without occasion. it was sweet.

“you- you invited me,” he says, his pretty eyes holding eye contact better than he usually does. you’d never felt this nervousness for a guy before. but you’d guess he was doing no better considering the way he was trying so hard not to look down at your low cut dress and exposed thighs.

“oh yeah… you just didn’t respond so i thought- um… do you wanna come in?” you cut yourself off, stepping aside to make room for him. he nodded as he stepped inside, looking around.

“sorry i didn’t respond… i was kinda nervous. i mean not that i’ve never- you know i just- well i don’t know why i didn’t respond actually. and you look just really pretty right now- well you always look pretty but-” he went on, stumbling cutely before you interrupted him with a laugh.

“it’s okay jakey. i was gonna go out but we could just stay here if you’d like,” you offered to which he nodded, eagerly. so you led him to your bedroom where you noticed that he didn’t look around as much. and it was cute how nervous he really did look.

“these are for you,” he said, finally handing you the bouquet. and you smiled as you thanked him, putting them on your bedside table.

“they’re beautiful... why don’t you sit on my bed so i can go change into something more comfortable,” you said, and he obeyed right away. you couldn’t help but smile to yourself as you entered your bathroom because, yes, you’ve had plenty of guys in your room but something about jake was different.

you felt shy for him and he wasn’t as easy for you to get as all the others. you’d talked with him for months. you got to know him the entire semester. as with all the other guys, you didn’t really have to put in all that much work before having them in your bed.

the moment jake heard the lock of the bathroom door, he let out a sigh he didn’t know he’d been holding in. he wasn’t completely inexperienced and he was never this nervous but he had been trying so hard to forget about his dream that it was hard to focus on anything else.

he looked around now, noting that your room was different than he’d pictured but still fit you so well. and it wasn’t just your pillows but the whole room smelled like you, he was engulfed in it and he loved it.

when you stepped back out in a small pajama set, he felt his heart skip a beat and a tightness in his stomach. and you loved the way he stared at you as you walked up to him. you stood right between his legs and looked down at him innocently.

“what are you thinking, jakey,” you said, placing your hands on his shoulders. he swallowed, dryly, as he looked up into your eyes. he felt like he couldn’t breathe and even though he desperately wanted to, he didn’t think to touch you yet.

“y/n… i really like you. but before anything happens, i wanna say that i don’t want this to be a one time thing,” he admitted, quietly, not breaking eye contact. you nodded, running a hand through his hair, making him close his eyes at your touch.

“trust me, i don’t want it to be one time either,” you said, your hand wrapping around to cup his cheek. he leaned in to your touch but shook his head after a second, looking up into your eyes more seriously this time.

“i mean, i want to take you on dates and i don’t want to see other people. i just wanna be yours… i want you to be just mine,” he said, his eyes nervously watching for your response. you nodded at him with a smile and he felt relieved.

“are you asking to be my boyfriend, sim jaeyun?” you asked, smiling so brightly his shoulders relaxed in response.

“yes i am, what do you say?” he said, a hopeful look in his eyes. you watched his hands messing with the material of his jeans as his leg anxiously bounced.

“hmm…” you started, reaching down to grab both of his hands in yours. he didn’t break eye contact even when you placed his hands on your hips. “i think it took you long enough.”

“is that a yes?” he asked, a smile on his lips as you placed a knee on either side of his thighs. you cupped his face, unable to keep the smile off of your own face.

“yes! now please kiss me already,” you said, more of a demand than a request. and he just smiled as you both leaned in.

your lips finally connecting after having waited for so long. and he was gone right away, you could tell with the way he sighed loudly as you tilted your head for a better angle.

the kiss was messy, probably from his lack of experience, but still heated and passionate from the very start. a desperate moan slipping from his lips when your tongue made its way into his mouth.

you bit at his bottom lip, making eye contact as you pulled it back. with your eyes now open you could see how his chest quickly rose and fell, and how he was begging for you with his eyes.

his hands that were frozen at your hips now moving around to squeeze at your ass. he lifted a hand up to leave a firm smack there, a satisfied smirk on his lips when you let out a small gasp.

“sit back there,” you said, standing up from his lap and pointing to your headboard with your chin. he obeyed quickly as you rummaged through your bedside table for a condom.

he watched you search for a while before, “i- i brought some,” he said, lifting his hips off the bed to take the row of condoms out of his front pocket. a blush dusting his cheeks at his words.

“oh! well i’m glad you came prepared… i was just gonna let you hit it raw,” you said, playfully, crawling back over to him. and he didn’t know how but he just got even harder in his jeans.

you sat back on your knees as you took off your shirt and then bottoms revealing a pretty pink matching set. his mouth felt dry, he licked his lips as he stared down at you. you tilted your head, expectantly, when his eyes finally made their way back up to yours.

he let out a small ‘oh’ when he finally got the hint, taking his shirt off and reaching down to unbutton his pants. you let yourself take a moment and admire his build; his strong shoulders, defined abs, his sculpted thighs flexed as he lifted himself to get his jeans off.

you didn’t know how a shy, nerdy guy like him could be hiding such a build but all you knew was you hit the jackpot. even more so when he sat back against your pillows and his bulge became even more apparent through his underwear. your face heating up now as he watched you eating him up with your eyes.

you situated yourself back over his lap still not sitting down just yet. you leaned down taking his lips in yours and he took the chance to drag his hands along your waist and hips, playing with the lace of your panties.

you could kiss him forever, with his plush lips you really didn’t mind. he seemed to be growing a bit impatient though, pulling your hips down onto his abruptly, causing a moan to rip from your throat as you felt his bulge come into contact with your clothed heat.

he quickly took the chance to slip his tongue into your mouth, grinding up into you repeatedly. you through your head back, letting the soft moans fall from your lips wanting to encourage him more.

“please i’ll do anything you want me to, just tell me,” he said, pressing you flush down onto his cock and holding you there. you dropped your head down onto his shoulder, shaking your head.

“i just wanna ride you, right now,” you said, and he probably gulped but you couldn’t really focus on how cute that was with how huge he felt still pressed up against you.

so as you reached over to rip a condom from the strip he worked on taking both of your bottoms off. still being very gentle with you as he slid them down your legs, admiring every inch of your skin.

as for you, you were right: he was huge. you slid the condom onto his length and he hissed at the contact. once it was on and you lined yourself up, he stopped you one last time to press a kiss to your lips. a sweet kiss that you couldn’t help melt into.

he pressed a kiss on your cheek, down your neck, your shoulder, your chest, your bra, and one last one right above your belly button. he sat back and looked up to give you a satisfied smile, letting you know that you could continue.

you gave his cock a couple strokes and finally slipped his tip right past your lips, causing you both to moan out. he sat up almost immediately and you placed your hands on his shoulders for the extra support.

inch by inch, you took him in until finally you were sat on his lap again. you let out a deep breath and his eyes were squeezed shut as he tried his best to hold back. but all he could think about was how much better this felt than his dream.

“you’re so tight,” he moaned, resting his head onto your shoulder, still managing to place a gentle kiss there. he was holding back so much, he felt so desperate for you. “baby, could you please move a bit?”

the petname falling from his lips so effortlessly, you couldn’t help the moan that slipped out of your mouth as you started to rock yourself back and forth on him. his hands squeezed at the skin of your waist as you let out a breathy ‘yes’, putting his head back on the headboard.

when you finally started to bounce on his cock, he was a whining mess. you thought his moans were pretty, well the whines that left his throat were addictive. you wanted to do whatever you could to keep hearing them.

you lifted yourself all the way to the tip and dropped all the way back down as quick as your legs could take you, grinding onto him in all directions. and he was so perfectly responsive, just what you wanted to hear; the ‘don’t stop’s and ‘feels too good’s leaving him were too encouraging.

you couldn’t bring yourself to stop even as your thighs started to shake because you could feel his cock pulsing inside of you and you wanted to make him cum so badly. but it seemed he had the same idea.

suddenly he lifted your hips off of him, pulling out slowly, a groan falling from both of your lips. he gently laid you back down onto your pillows, not forgetting to place a gentle kiss right at the center of your chest. “… i didn’t get to make you cum,” you said, a bit disappointed.

“i know, pretty,” he said, kissing your pout away, “but i said i’d take care of you.” you felt yourself blush at his words, luckily he was preoccupied with lining himself up again.

“wait,” you said, pushing him back a bit by his chest. you reached down, slowly pulling the condom off of his length and tossing it to the side.

before he could speak again you wrapped your arms around his shoulders, your legs also lifting up to engulf his waist, pulling him closer. his forehead resting on yours as he eyed you curiously, “i want you to come in me,” you said, quietly.

he squeezed his eyes shut, groaning. he kissed you, rougher than all the other kisses before. “you can’t say those kind of things to me, angel, i won’t be able to hold back.”

“please don’t hold back jakey, do whatever you dream of,” you said, your eyes begging. jake swears his heart stopped for a second. he just couldn’t believe it, this was so different from his dream but also so much better.

he took a deep breath, his hand shaking as he lined himself back up at your entrance. when he pushed all the way back in at once, he swore he was in heaven. nothing could compare to how he felt so deep in you right now, so warm and tight. was he having deja vu?

he shook his head, he didn’t have to be reminded of that dream anymore cause this? nothing could beat this.

he thrusted into you hard and fast, immediately setting a brutal pace. and you loved it, not being able to do anything other than scream and moan out his name. he wasn’t much better moaning and muttering praises at your ear.

you scratched at his back helplessly as his thrust somehow got harder, his release definitely building up again. you pulled at his hair, bringing his face in front of yours and smashing your lips together once again. the kiss more intimate in this position, despite both of you being moaning messes.

he reached a hand down to rub circles at your clit, your hand following after to help guide him. he quickly found the rhythm you wanted and matched his thrust to it. you couldn’t believe how good he was already, and couldn’t imagine how this could get any better.

he kissed and sucked at your neck, searching for the spot you liked best, already wanting to familiarize himself with every part of your body. you moaned out his name as you felt the coil in your stomach come undone. finally releasing around him as he continued chasing his own high.

he came soon after as he felt your walls clench around him so tightly, filling you up so perfectly. he held himself up, not wanting to put his full weight on you and gently pulled out when both of your breathing regulated.

he laid down beside you, still in disbelief, his dazed expression making you laugh. he looked over at you with a smile, pulling your chin towards him to place a gentle kiss on your lips. he didn’t think he’d ever get enough of kissing you.

he kissed you again and again, not wanting to pull his lips off of yours. “wait! i need to clean you up,” he said abruptly, sitting up.

“oh yeah, um… there’s a little towel in my bathroom,” you said, rising up onto your elbows. you watched as his eyebows scrunched together and he just shook his head.

“no, i don’t need a towel,” he said, and you couldn’t help but smile at his cute tone… well cute until he was getting comfortable between your legs again, laying down right in front of your leaking core. somehow a sweet, innocent look still on his face.

the ways of love | azriel x reader

pairing: azriel x reader

summary: for an illyrian warrior with a knack for vengeance, there are a number of ways in which azriel loves.

word count: 912

a/n: short but sweet <3

warnings: a bit of smut

Azriel had always been full of love, but he simply had nowhere to put it. But when you finally waltzed into his life, with that hypnotic smile and contagious laugh, he finally knew what to do with it all.

—

He always woke up long before you did, and in those early hours of the morning, he would trace his fingers along the lines of your back. He'd lean forward and brush his lips against the shell of your ear, and whisper, "It's time to get up, sweetheart."

He'd laugh at your groans of protest, and he'd gently roll you over onto your back so he could dip down and capture your lips in a sweet kiss. As gorgeous as you were, and as much as he wanted to stay in with you for the remainder of the day, that wouldn't stop him from peeling the blankets off your body, and taking your hands in his to pull you up from the bed.

—

He sometimes left books in random areas of the house for you to find. Not because he was incapable of cleaning up after himself—of course not—but because he'd found a phrase in it that made him think of you, his mate.

Whether it was a line or passage that he thought you'd like, or something that reminded him of you, he'd dog-ear the page and leave it for you to read—something small he hoped would brighten your day, even just a little.

Occasionally, he'd find something a little spicier (courtesy of Nesta's recommendations), and he'd leave a note beside it saying, 'Something you and I could recreate tonight, perhaps,' and when he would see you that night, with a sultry look on your face, he'd know you received his message.

—

Azriel is typically rougher in the sheets, but whatever you ask of him, he'll give to you. If you wanted him to be gentle, he wouldn't be anything less. If you wanted him faster and harder, Mother above, he would hardly be able to contain himself.

He'd kiss his way down your body, making sure not to leave any part of you untouched—to him, you were a goddess who needed to be worshipped. He'd glance up from the space between your legs, giving you a smirk before teasingly licking up your slick folds. Your body would jolt from the sensation, and he'd push his tongue just a little deeper, savouring the way you felt on his mouth.

"You taste so good, sweetheart," he'd whisper, and he'd drink up the sound of your moans, your breathless gasps and the way you said his name.

It wouldn't take him long to make his way back up your body, where he would grasp your hips and push himself inside you, watching how your face contorted in pleasure. You'd meet him with each thrust of his hips, and he'd lean down to whisper in your ear.

"You're doing wonderful, baby," he'd murmur. "Always taking me so well..."

He'd ride you through each and every orgasm, and Gods, was it hard not to let himself come before you did. At the end of it all, he'd wrap you in his arms and kiss you deeply before muttering, "You're beautiful."

—

Azriel had memorised every little thing about you. The inflection of your laugh, the register of your voice, the way your smile reached your eyes, the curves of your body that fit perfectly against his, and so much more.

He'd memorised certain things you'd said in passing, so much so that perhaps he knew you more than you knew yourself. He often caught you off guard with some of the things he'd say, and when you'd ask him, "How on Prythian did you know that?", he'd only press a kiss to your hair and say, "It's my job to know things, sweetheart."

—

After a long day of work, when all he wanted was to be in your company, the spymaster would take you for a stroll along the Sidra—just the two of you. On the colder nights, he'd tuck his wing around your body to shield you away from the cold, and also as an excuse to have you just a little closer to him (but he wouldn't admit that).

Your existing beauty would be highlighted in the glow of the moonlight, and he would wonder to himself how he ever managed to make you fall for him—the most ethereal female he'd ever laid eyes on.

He'd wrap an arm around your shoulder and pull you even closer, because a part of him thinks that this all might be a dream. That if he doesn't hold onto you tight enough, you'll slip away from him as he slinks back into consciousness.

As if sensing his thoughts, you'd stop walking for a moment and place your hands on either side of his face, bringing him down to press a gentle kiss to his lips. He'd blink, and you'd smile and continue walking as if you'd done nothing, and he'd laugh and think to himself, She's going to be the death of me.

—

Azriel loved you in ways that no one else could. He loved in a way that was so tender and moving—it was hard to believe that a warrior like him could be capable of something like that. But Azriel had always had the capacity to love, and with you now in his life, that capacity would only grow.
