[emilys-bangs]

heey!! i found your blog recently and I’ve been obsessed 🫠so im joining your celebration with “LYRA” …. “stay” is personally one of my favorite gracie songs so maybe something based on this lyrics “Could you hold me without any talking?We could try to go back where we started I don't even have to stay” perhaps could be hurt/comfort?

Aww hey and welcome!! Hope you enjoy your time here ;) btw I read this and literally went yes yes yes yesyesyes so ty!!!!

Join my celebration here

Word count: 1k (not a blurb….oops I got carried away)

A knock on the door forces you from your perch on the couch.

It’s late. You’re not expecting anyone, so you cautiously look through the peephole; dark hair floods your vision, contrasting against pale skin tinted yellow from the hallway lights.

It’s Emily.

Your heart lurches suddenly and you pull open the door, her late appearance making you forget that technically you two aren’t supposed to do this anymore. Not after Paris and secrets and an ocean of lies.

But still, you can’t stop yourself from letting her back in.

“Emily?”

“Hey.” She says, and her voice cracks. Her eyes meet yours and you find endless brown drowning in a pool of unshed tears, shining in the low light of your hallway. The sight of her here is so familiar, but not like this, not with her lips trembling and the sleeves of her sweater pulled over her hands. “I just—”

Her voice breaks again and she bites her lip, her eyes leaving yours to latch onto the floor. A small sound escapes the back of her throat, something like a pained whimper.

It sets off a trained reaction in you.

You’re across the threshold of your apartment before the tears spill down her cheeks, pulling her in and fitting her head under your chin just as they start to drip off her jaw.

There’s no buildup to it. No low sniffling or a rough clearing of her throat. Emily sobs into your chest; deep, hiccuping sobs that make her breathe in short gasps. The sound makes your heart wrench painfully, her pain just as easily igniting your own. In an instant everything is forgotten, everything except the fact that you love her and she loves you—despite everything. 

“I’m here.” You kiss her messy ponytail, closing your eyes against your own tears. 

She clings to you as you shuffle back into the apartment and close the door, one of your arms still wrapped tightly around her. Emily’s tears soak your shirt, her short nails digging painfully into your waist as you try to shush her.

“I’m here, baby,” you rasp through the lump in your throat. You try to tighten your grip around her, try to briefly put back the jagged pieces of who she once was. “I got you, Em.”

The only response you get back is a sniffle as she inches closer under your jaw, seeking to bury herself under your skin. Her grip is almost painfully tight as she keeps herself anchored to you through the turmoil in her mind. You want to ask, want to know what it is that’s going on so you can fix it, but some part of you knows this is irreparable damage reaped from the ghosts of her past.

So you just hold her through it. You hold her and keep an arm tight around the nape of her neck, your fingers slipping into her ponytail as you keep her so close the ragged movement of her chest rattles your own body. She’s shaking—trembling hands and wobbly knees and stuttering breaths—so you lift her up, ignoring the ache in your lower back as she clings to you tighter, her face buried in your neck as you carry her to the couch.

She curls into your lap. Time ticks by—how much is unbeknownst to either of you—and Emily’s sobs begin to slow. You keep an arm over her waist and one under her shoulders, soothingly rubbing her back as she starts to take in deeper breaths. They still stutter and catch in the back of her throat, but at least now you’re not worried she’s choking.

You’re doing nothing but wiping away the endless tears from her cheeks, occasionally pressing a kiss to the top of her head. By the time her breathing slows, her eyes are bloodshot and her cheeks are flushed with tear tracks.

Still, your heart twists in unimaginable ways. You give her a small smile and wipe away the last of the salt from her skin. 

Emily leans into the touch, her head falling on your shoulder as her hand links with yours. The feeling of your intertwined fingers is still the same. Of course it is; all the change has been on the inside.

Emily’s nose under your jaw breaks you from your thoughts. She’s breathing softly now, her exhales escaping in warm puffs against your skin. 

You unlink your fingers and rest your hand on her waist, squeezing lightly, “Stay here, I’ll go get a towel.”

She fists your shirt tightly. “Don’t—”

“I’m coming back,” you whisper. “Just a second, sweetheart.” The nickname slips effortlessly as you kiss her forehead, an action so familiar you could do it in your sleep. 

Reluctantly, Emily slides off your lap. The weight of her warmth on top of you falls away, and you give her another small smile as you get up off the couch.

You pad to the bathroom and grab a small towel. As you’re wetting it under the sink, you hear Emily’s footsteps behind you. Turning off the tap, you turn, the wet towel held in your hand as you cup her jaw.

Beneath the fluorescent lights, her skin is blotchy. Though she doesn’t look at you, you know her eyes are bloodshot as you gently swipe the towel over her cheeks, wiping away the remnants of the tears. 

Emily closes her eyes. Her fingers hook into the band of your sweatpants as she swallows, her damp lashes casting shadows on her cheeks.

None of you say it, but your actions are loud enough.

I love you.

“Stay with me tonight,” you whisper, because you know she won’t be brave enough to ask. Emily’s hands tighten on the waistband of your pants. You swipe the towel under her eyes, catching the remaining salt. “Please?”

Her bottom lip trembles, but no more tears escape past her closed lids.

“Okay.” Emily rasps.

Even when she falls asleep, she’s curled tightly around you.

Seonghwa's lips curve into a devious smile as he looms over you, your wrists restrained by silk ties and your mouth stuffed with your own panties, now stained with his essence. In one hand, he holds a cold, gleaming steel knife, the sharp tip glinting in the dim light of the room. "Look at you," he taunts, "so adorably helpless."

A low whimper escapes your throat as you try to shift your hips, desperate for any kind of friction between your drenched thighs.

Seonghwa's smirk only grows wider as he watches you squirm, savoring the sight of your flushed cheeks and writhing body under his control. The room is thick with tension and anticipation as he decides how to continue, relishing in the power he holds over you.

Your body trembles with anticipation as he runs the sharp blade of the knife along your inner thigh, teasingly close to your most sensitive areas. Your breath hitches in your throat as you try to contain your desire. "Mmmm, look how desperate you are for more already," he taunts with a devilish grin. "Tell me baby, what do you need?" His voice is a seductive whisper that sends shivers down your spine. "Use your words like a good girl," he adds, his eyes dark with desire. You struggle to form coherent thoughts as you beg for more.

His rough hand reaches out, fingers eagerly grasping at your breast. He pinches and tugs at your nipple, inflicting a mix of pain and pleasure. "Beg for it," his voice taunts, "and maybe Mommy will give you what you crave so desperately." The cold metal of the knife presses harder against your skin, leaving an icy trail in its wake. "Oh wait," he taunts, "you can't speak, can you? Dirty little thing you are"

You let out muffled moans, the fabric stuffed in your mouth muffling the sound. Your back arches, pushing your chest further into Seonghwa's groping hand. Your hips involuntarily buck, seeking more stimulation from the knife teasing your inner thigh. Drool escapes the corner of your lips as you try desperately to form words, but only garbled pleas emerge. The taste of salt coats your tongue as tears of frustration prick at the corners of your eyes - you're aching to beg properly but physically unable with your mouth filled. Instead, you gaze up at him with hooded, lust-filled eyes, silently pleading for mercy even as your body writhes shamelessly in need. The degrading pet names and rough treatment only heighten your arousal, sending shivers down your spine and causing goosebumps to erupt on your skin. Every touch, every word, every sensation sends waves of pleasure coursing through you, making it hard to focus on anything but the overwhelming need.

He lets out a sinister chuckle at your muted screams and frenzied squirming, clearly enjoying the control he holds over you in this moment. "Aww, what's wrong babygirl? Can't tell Mommy what you need?"

He leans in closer, his warm breath caressing your ear as he speaks in a low voice.

"I think you need to be punished for being such a dirty, knife-hungry slut. Making such a mess all over yourself like this…"

The knife traces higher, grazing over your sex teasingly. Your hips instinctively arch towards it, desperate for any kind of contact. Seonghwa smirks down at you, watching your reactions with dark amusement. He knows exactly how to push your buttons and make you beg for more without you speaking a word.

"Do you want it?" he asks, holding the knife dangerously close to your throbbing core. "Do you want me to use this on you?"

You nod frantically, unable to form words as your body screams for more.

Seonghwa's low chuckle sends a shiver down your spine as he brings the flat of the blade to your clit, pressing down with controlled force. Your body arches instinctively at the sensation, but before you can fully react, his free hand wraps around your throat. The pressure against your windpipe and the sharp edge of the knife against your sensitive flesh forces a muffled moan pass your lips. You can feel his hot breath against Your neck as he leans in closer, lips ghosting across your ear as he continues to toy you.

"Maybe if you're a very good girl and take what I give you I'll let you use your mouth again. Would you like that, my filthy little fucktoy?"

– 12:07 am ; how riki falls in love

genre: fluff pairing: nishimura riki / ni-ki x gn!reader trope: love at first sight

a/n: and the how they fall in love series concludes :(

when ni-ki feels, he makes it known.

if he doesn’t like the colour assigned to him, it’s shown on his face. if he finds something cute, he says it’s cute. if he finds something confusing, he’s the first one to show that he’s confused.

so, when ni-ki falls in love, he has made it known to his hyungs – unwillingly, at that.

he’s quiet, but he’s loud. his presence is known by his loud silence. he walks into the room; all eyes are on him. ni-ki usually has his eyes either on his hyungs or on his phone – sometimes, none at all. 

so, when jungwon sees his silence significantly different as it wasn’t his usual vibe, jungwon follows ni-ki’s trail of vision. the leader’s eyes landed on you, who had their eyes glued on the book they were trying to read. jungwon’s eyes flickered back to the maknae, who was now mindlessly sipping on his latté as he tried to sneak glances at you.

“you’re not being too sly, you know,” jungwon says, his eyes now on his phone as he tries to pull a reaction out of ni-ki.

ni-ki hummed and seemingly snapped out of his thoughts, shaking his head as his hand travelled through his dark fluffy hair, “what?”

“you could just ask their name.”

“i don’t know what you’re talking about,” ni-ki rolled his eyes and pulled out his phone, trying to take a photo of the café while subtly including you in the shot – taking a mental note to post it on his instagram in the most hidden way he could think of.

ni-ki thinks he’s in love, but he’s quite unsure. however, sunoo was.

“they’re y/n,” sunoo smiles as he mixes his affogato. 

“what? how would you know?” ni-ki’s eyebrows raised up.

“i’ve chatted with them once or twice already,”

“could you ���“

“introduce you to them? i was just waiting for you to tell me that!”

ni-ki clings on the first tell-tales of love.

for one, his heart plummeted as he finds himself walking towards you.

“hi, y/n! mind if we sit here?”

“no, not at all,” you smiled as you made room for the two people.

“i’d like to introduce my friend, by the way, he’s –“

“hi, i’m ni-ki,” he smiles shyly, nodding his head at you as his way of acknowledging your presence.

“i’m y/n, and i know you.”

the second time he realises it, it was when he was panicking when you arrived later than your usual time of arrival at the café near their building.

“hey,” you smirked at him as you realised he had already ordered your usual – sticky cinnamon bun for you and a croissant for him, to pair with mocha for you and caramel macchiato for him.

“hi – uh, hello,” ni-ki blushes, “i hope you don’t mind that i ordered you your usual already,” he ducks his head down.

“no, not at all,” you smile, and instead of sitting in front of him, you sat beside him, and ni-ki’s breath hitched.

just like the third time, when he sees you in their lounge with a paper bag in hand.

“you mentioned last time that today would be busy,” you started before pushing the paper bag towards him.

six people had their eyebrows raised and mouth agape; and sunghoon almost had the moment ruined by voicing out his shock loudly, good thing jungwon was able to cover his mouth as sunoo nudged him by the side.

“i thought i would bring you a croissant – oh, and your macchiato…” you trailed off, suddenly growing cautious over the fact that the tall boy (who happened to be the youngest one of the bunch) hadn’t spoken a word yet.

ni-ki’s eyes flickered back and forth from your hand to your face, and he tries his hardest to suppress the smile by biting on his lip, however his reddened cheeks seem to stray him away from success.

he intentionally reaches for your hand, engulfing his over yours that held the handle of the paper bag, “thank you. i owe you one.”

“you don’t - you don’t have to —“

“a date, if you don’t mind?”

and that leaves you dumbfounded. with a chorus of cheers and whistles from the maknae’s hyungs, blood rushed into your cheeks and you smiled.

“no, not at all,”

ni-ki smiled.

“oh, and ni-ki?”

his eyebrows raised, the cheers died down.

"took you long enough."

The entitlement complex displayed by the voot bloos post election is just fucking unreal, lol. Among other things is the unshakable assumption that everyone who chose not to vote would clearly have shifted the odds overwhelmingly to Harris if they did, and/or that Biden's historic 80 million votes was supposed to be the standard now.

The election may be fake, but people's reaction to it is definitely revealing of the real them.

Good Omens Fic Rec: Creative Writing for Creative Children and Panicked Nannies

Unsurprisingly, it only takes a few moments for pounding feet to be heard from the hall before a harried looking man skids to the entrance of the room, halting with a jerk before actually stepping in. “Adam! You can’t just run off like that! I told you that they’re not going to want a bloo—“ he cuts himself off with a strangled sound, “blasted adult sitting in on a club!” --- Aziraphale is as prepared for the new school year as he can be-- what he's not prepared for is an awkward man in sunglasses who's about to pull Aziraphale into not only his own life, but the lives of Aziraphale's students.

Read it here, fic by munchmulch

*Minor Spoilers* I read this one the other morning when I had a late work start, and I was welling up with tears thinking about it on my drive in. It's really not even angsty! At least not to that level of reaction. I can't fully explain why it affected me so deeply, just my own inner child I suppose. Someone who needed safe, supportive, and encouraging adults in her life.

In this story, it's the first day of school and new students Adam and Warlock stay after for Mr. Fell's writing club. They drag Warlock's guardian, Nanny Crowley, to the meeting and you can probably guess what happens next. Aziraphale is an excellent teacher, meeting the kids at their level, and his teaching style has an immediate effect on Crowley. This story really is more about the children, but we still get high quality chemistry between the adults.

The length is nothing to sneeze at, but god I am desperate to spend more time in this world. The kids are so well written, not babied or overly mature. I want to watch as they become a family, I want to see Warlock being loved and thriving in this new family of his. I want to watch them create a home together. It's such a warm story that I really enjoyed.

Ristretto in Pink (A Huskerdust Fic) Part Five

“They moan, passing upon the clouds, the horned and capricorned, the trumpeted with the tusked, the lionmaned the giantantlered, snouter and crawler, rodent, ruminant and pachyderm, all their moving moaning multitude, murderers of the sun.”- Ulysses James Joyce (p. 414)

Why did the film bring such a reaction to me? I’ve never done that in all the years I’ve seen that flick. Why now? Why now? The stomach churns and in silent reflection, there it is…OIL!

Angel breathed heavily, leaning a hand against a light-post, and wiping his lips of what was his popcorn. His ears were ringing as he felt the sidewalk tilt to and fro, leading him to flop onto the street, only a hand catching his fall and barely creating a scratch. Behind him, out of breath, was that cat of the day. He stopped himself behind Angel and panted as he tried to get the words out.

“W..Wh..Why did you leave like that! Are you okay?” He notices the puke and sighs, offering a handkerchief, which the spider hesitantly takes and wipes his lips with. Angel coughs and lays his head behind his crossed arms that sit atop his knees. A moment feels forever. In the silence of this part of town, minus faraway gunshots, laughing, and car crashes, the sudden rush turns silent too as the pair sit not as observers of silver frames, but as participants pulled together by Fate’s thread.

Such a thread seems unforgiving, making one captive to their passing companions or lack thereof. Both had erred in their afterlives, knotted as a blind hydra, abused in their individual metamorphoses; both without the nectar of the one Eternal Rose, dripping liquid light, and eternal redemption.

“I’m sorry.” Angel sniffles underneath his apology.

“I’ve never once…reacted that way before…I-“ Husk sits beside him and puts a hand on his shoulder.

“You don’t need to apologize.” His eyes dilated as he looked at Angel.

“You never need to apologize for something like that. We…have emotions…sometimes we just get all caught up in em that…we lose sight of what’s in front of us.” Husk’s chest felt a slow warmth from beneath his heart. He opened his wings, not in some sight of grandeur, but of polite compassion and wrapped one around his new friend.

“If you don’t want to talk about it, you don’t have to, you don’t owe me any explanation. Just at least, when you’re ready, let’s get out from the gutter else we’re going to get in a shit ton of trouble.” Angel looked to Husk, his face a gentle blush when he lifted his head, the world was shiftless and unmoving. Angel saw the subtle smirk on the man’s face and to him it was good.

--

The two were quiet as they walked back to Angel’s apartment. Without speaking, he had let Husk into his place. Without speaking, he went into the kitchen and made some glasses of water for the pair. Without speaking, Fat Nuggets quietly sauntered over, nuzzling at Husk and Angel, before going back to his fluffy bed and flopping asleep.

It was through this silently agreed silence, that Husk felt Angel did not want to talk just yet, except to just soak in the moment while his nerves calmed down.

The radio was quietly humming as Angel turned it on. The hum grew into static and then into soft violin.

Angel rubs the back of his neck and closed his eyes. He could feel the warmth of homemade soup trickling down his throat, the radio on in quiet ambience, while the family cat purred against his leg. His mom came from behind, ruffling Anthony’s hair gently, humming to the song.

Anthony moved away from the table, the cat taking his place, while he took his mother’s hand and brought her with him into the living room a couple feet away from the kitchen, and swayed to the music. He twirled her around and she did the same. She brought out a handful of coins.

“For the movies later, Anthony. Don’t go spending it all at once! There’s extra for concessions.”

“Thanks, Ma.” The door swung open, Anthony’s father stomping in, his face covered in a layer of dirt, blood on his hands. Anthony turned his face to see his father, his mother’s expression changing, and after a moment of silence after the door slammed open all that could be mustered up were:

“Arackniss is dead.”

Anthony sat in his chair, staring past Husk’s shoulder into the wall. Tears flowed down his cheeks. Finally, he noticed his parents were gone and Arackniss was somewhere across the other side of Hell or who knows where.

“My brother is dead. My brother is dead and it’s all my father’s fuckin fault! If he didn’t…if he didn’t rope us into his fucking money-making, blood money, stealing—FUCK! I dunno where we’d be if we weren’t in that mess! I’d be with Ma! I’d be with Sis! I’d be with them for eternity, but I’m here smoking dope, sucking dick, and barely scratchin by for all the rest of my afterlife!” Husk sat there and listened, looking at Angel, saddened by his distraught emotions, he does not talk back.

“I had a life up there…I had a better life with my ma. I just—Husk I fucking miss her. I’m just a bottom feedin loser.  I died cause I couldn’t cope with losing my brother. I couldn’t deal with being who I was there. I had to hide it, else my pa or worse my brother would kill me. Ma knew, dad knew too, they all fucking knew. I’m just too dumb to see it. I was just too dumb to take notice. And they say life starts on the day you die, whoever said that can eat it!” He breathed hard, his heart beating out of his chest, and without warning Fat Nuggets was nuzzling by his leg, oinking to be held.

Angel dust sighed, looking down at his Nuggets, and picking him up, holding him close to his face as the pig licked at his cheeks.

“Angel, I’m sorry.”

“Why should you be? You don’t need to apologize for me. I’m the one having a fuckin existential breakdown here.”

“Because I’m sorry you are feeling this way. We all did shit to end up here, whatever that was, truth is I’m just a loser like you are.”

“Loser? I ain’t no loser.”

“Hey we’re losers together. It’s a compliment!” Anthony started to laugh.

“I’m just jerking your dick, Whiskers. I got it. I…I got it.” He sipped his water and looked to his upper cabinet, which held bottles of liquor and wine.

“You wanna have a drink?”

“Only if you want to.”

“You said you’s a bartender, right? Mind making us a couple of specialty drinks?�� Husk smiles and nods, standing up and walking toward the shelf. He took a gander at the inventory.

“Damn, you’re stacked with good shit. You really must be getting good pay from doing all your porno shit.” He grabs a couple bottles.

“You okay with whiskey?” Husk asked.

“Could you make something with rum instead?” The cat nods and grabs the bottle of rum.

              Angel and Husk sat in the living room on the couch, the radio still playing quiet classical music. They sat sipping pina coladas.

“This is really good, I can never make these right.”

“It’s all about the ratio, plus if you like it extra sweet you just add a bit more juice, ya know? Can’t be no different from your barista gig.” The liquor began to take hold.

“No. No it really isn’t any different. Coffee instead of alcohol.”

“And sober customers instead of blacked-out ones.”

“For the most part, coming from you Mister Drunk at 8 in the morning.”

“Touche, haha, fuck you.” Husk laid back and exhaled.

“You know, to be honest I cannot really remember much outside of my life here, it’s been so long that I don’t even remember how I died.” Anthony turned to him.

“What do you remember?”

“Only thing I can recall was I did the same shit up there, down here, gambling, magic, booze an-“

“Magic? I mean I shoulda guessed, but still.”

“Hey don’t be making fun of my own gigs, you still take dick in alleys so I’m told.” Anthony snorted.

“Touche.” Husk chuckles and takes another sip. Despite his clear lapse in memory, the cat was opening-up to him. Anthony hadn’t planned on exposing too much of his past, yet as it happened, his emotions took hold of him. He crossed his legs and sat back too, staring at the ceiling, the cat seemed to be doing the same shortly after him.

“Anthony.”

“What?” Husk turns to Angel, his ears flickering.

“My name on Earth was Anthony. No one else here calls me that ‘cept my boss.” Husk looks back up to the ceiling, his cheeks flushed as the liquor flowed through his system.

“Anthony.” He smiles.

“That’s a cute name.” Anthony blushes hard and without turning his head he looks down between them, and sees as Whiskers held his hand with his.

With attention to the 2024 election and vote-bloo-no-matter-hoo-ism my mind recently wandered to Gavin newsom, and thence to the CARE courts, and thence to forced antipsychotic medication, and thence to the legal apparatus surrounding those. And I mean, the Sell hearing system is still pretty fucked, the case law is not especially inspiring, but my perhaps shameful first reaction is,

Thank God at least the courts treat this with even a fraction of the gravity it deserves, at least inmates awaiting trial get the dignity of a legal contest and ceremony before being forced to take these torture pills. If they’re going to enact the torture at all at least it’s not my teenage shrink saying “Eh yea you seem vaguely unwell why don’t we try lurasidone” and the other authority figures in my life nodding along and coercing me into it like they would about homework . It’s as tho accessing yr insurance funds for life-or-death treatment were gated behind a battle with a ferocious dragon instead of a million phone trees, yr going to lose anyway but at least it offers you the small consolation of aesthetically and symbolically acknowledging the severity of the matter

Looking at all the reactions to the new Foster's show is making me realize WOW y'all are treating Bloo like Hitler, like jeezaloo dial it back a bit
