The bell over the door jingled as you pushed it open, stepping foot inside the shop. 

You’d never noticed this place before. An old shop with big glass window displays filled with plants and crystals, its heavy wooden door recessed from the street, an old brass lantern hung above the door offering only a small puddle of flickering light over the doormat. 

“Welcome,” the doormat had scrawled across it, “to the Little Shop of Wonders.”

You weren’t sure what to expect, but it was a cool, damp October night, and the shop looked like a dry place to wait for your boyfriend. 

Kun had an appreciation for magic. Usually, he favored card tricks, sleight of hand, but he’d shown you before that he was intrigued by more magical magic. He would like this place, too, so you texted him the address since he was already on the way to pick you up from work. 

From deep in the recesses of the store, you hear a woman’s voice call out, “Welcome! Have a look around, and I’ll be there to help you shortly!” 

The store is very old, if you had to guess. The floors are hardwood, bleached by ages of sunlight, dry and dusty with each step you take. The boards creak, and even when you pass over a thick rug, the floor groans beneath you, belching up dust. Dried flowers and herbs hang from the rafters. Strings of lights drape the edges of the room, occasionally cross-crossing the space in between. You spot more of those brass lanterns hanging at the ends of heavy wooden bookcases, the shelves of which are weighed down with heavy tomes and knick knacks that range from crystals and cute animal carvings to disturbingly realistic wooden figurines of people and a skull with a candle melted atop it. 

This place gives you the creeps while simultaneously pulling you in deeper. It feels like magic. It tingles over your skin, smelling sweet. 

You don’t know how long you’ve been walking around before you hear the door jingle in the distance. 

You bump into a viney potted plant on the floor, and a cat bolts out of the shadows, streaking through a gap in the shelves. You follow the cat, discovering that it’s leading you back into the center of the store from where you’d drifted to the back edges. You can see the front door, the misty blue twilight sky outside the front windows. 

Kun stands in the doorway, framed by that eerie light, though the light of the lantern glows on his face, radiant. 

“There you are,” he says with a grin, stepping inside the store fully. “What kind of place have you found?”

“Welcome to the Little Shop of Wonders,” says the same woman’s voice as before, although now it sounds as though she’s floating above you. 

You twist around, looking up at the ceiling, and you find her. She’s a wiry older woman, her curling gray hair tumbling around her shoulders, a long skirt and apron swishing around her legs as she very carefully balances and navigates her way across the beams. 

When you look back at Kun, he’s watching her with a bemused expression, which shifts to that of one impressed when the woman leaps down from the beam and lands lightly on her feet. 

She brushes her hands off on her apron, and looks at the pair of you with a wide, warm, inviting smile on her face. 

“It’s so nice to meet you.” Her hands go to her hips, and she looks the pair of you over, her gaze studying the way you gravitate towards each other. “What can I help you with?”

“Oh.” You and Kun glance at each other, and then you say, “We’re just looking around.”

The woman nods her head. “Of course! If you look long enough, whatever you’re meant to have in here will jump out at you.”

You take Kun’s hand, and for a little while you browse the shelves, occasionally coming across a cat or the witchy woman herself, humming as she passes through different areas of the shop. 

Finally, after you feel that you’ve spent nearly an hour together looking at the small oddities and interests in the store, you realize that it’s time you leave so you can get home. But Kun’s interested in the live plants the woman has sitting beside a window towards the back of the shop. He brushes his fingers along a blush pink leaf, lifts his fingers along the stem, and cups one of the curved bloodred petals.

“I’d be careful with that one, if I were you.” The woman appears suddenly at your elbow, nudging her way between you and Kun. She cups the plant’s pot in her hands, lifting it gently. “This one’s a powerful aphrodisiac. Quite a strong stimulant.” 

Kun peeks at you over her head. You stifle a giggle against your hand. 

“Doubt me if you like,” she warns, “But this plant’s pollen is known to cause intense arousal when ingested. Whether that means if the residue is on your skin, or if it’s contained within a bottle of honey.” 

Suddenly she’s lifting a hand, a small vial of glinting golden honey sits in her palm. 

“Are you saying that’s a bottle of sex honey?” You ask, trying to keep from laughing.

The woman’s mouth tightens. “Yes, dear. Essentially. A taste of this honey, and you and your boy would be bound to fall into bed together. THat’s why I have it labeled for sale over in the love and sex section of the shop. Now, if you ingest the pollen directly, say if he were to lick his fingers now after having touched the plant, the effects would be much stronger. Arousal lasting days, possibly.”

Again, Kun catches your eye over the woman’s head, and you watch your boyfriend daringly lift his hand to his lips, and he pops his index and middle finger both into his mouth.

“Oh, darling….” The witchy woman shakes her head while looking at Kun. She quickly sits the plant back down among the others, and she waves her hand towards the front door of the shop. “You should leave now. Good luck. And you, my dear,” she says with a look in your direction, “You may want to purchase a bottle of the honey, just so you can keep up with him.”

“I think we’ll be fine, but thank you.” You wrap your arm around Kun’s and walk towards the door with him, calling over your shoulder to her, “Maybe if this goes as well as you’re promising, we’ll be back for some of that sex honey.”

You swear that instead of swinging gently shut as it had when you opened it, the door slams behind you as you and Kun step out onto the sidewalk outside the Little Shop of Wonders.

“Come on.” Kun slides his hand down into yours, leading you away to where his car is parked. “Let’s get home.”

On the ride home, you both laugh about the woman’s warnings. It just sounds so silly, the things she was saying. Kun keeps sucking on his fingers, saying that he’s still waiting for it to kick in like she promised, that from the sound of it, he’ll need to fuck you as soon as you get home, but it must be slow acting. “I’m not even a little bit hard, yet. Maybe her plant isn’t working right. Not that I need the help, but she’s made it sound like one taste of the pollen and I’m going to be rock hard for days.”

You laugh, tipping your head against the seat to watch as Kun flicks his tongue between the V of his index and middle finger. “Kun, I promise, if you’re rock hard for days, if this pollen truly works as well as she’s said, you can fuck me however, wherever, as often as you want.”

“I have free use of you?” Kun’s teasing, looking over at you as he rolls the car to a stop at a light. “You’d be my little fuck toy?”

“Anything for you, Kun.” You’re playing, but some part of you is actually serious. You love Kun. Since you started dating him, you’ve wanted him a ridiculous amount. It’s only because you can’t constantly be on his dick that you haven’t let on to him how horny you frequently are. You’ve tried to tone it down, but honestly, giving him free use to fuck you however and wherever and whenever he likes is exactly what you’ve needed all this time.

If only the ridiculous notion of sex pollen was real and not just the imaginary creation of some batty woman in a mysterious shop.

When you get home, you hop in the shower while Kun starts to prepare dinner.

You’ve been in there for only about five minutes, when the door to the bathroom opens. You pull the shower curtain back a bit, peeking out into the steamy bathroom. Kun’s right there, already climbing into the shower, yanking the curtain back shut behind him as he backs you towards the wall. 

“What’s this?” You giggle, reaching for his arm. “Did the pollen kick in or something?”

“Yeah,” Kun murmurs, and then his lips are on yours, his hands on your hips. 

You can’t believe he’s really going along with this, playing into it just to have shower sex. You let him spin you around so your chest and cheek are against the wall. Kun pulls one of your arms behind your back, the other you lift above your head to brace yourself a bit. 

“Any time, anywhere, that’s what you said right?” Kun confirms as he grinds forward against your ass. 

“Mhmm,” you moan, rolling your hips back to meet his movements. “Yes, Kun.”

His mouth moves fiery hot over your bare shoulder, his skin hot against yours everywhere he touches. “Perfect.”

And then he’s thrusting forward, driving his cock between your legs, rutting forward again and again until his cock slides inside you.

With no prep, it burns a little, but you like it. You like when Kun gets a little rough from time to time. Like right now, when he just starts plunging into you with these big thrusts, clearly just chasing his own orgasm. His hand holds yours against your lower back.The shower spraying down on you both has your skin all slippery, your bound hands sliding with each of Kun’s powerful thrusts. 

Your moans echo around the bathroom, and Kun’s breaths come hard and fast against your ear. 

Kun presses up against your back, pinning you between him and the wall, his weight bearing down on you as he fucks into you. Each press of his cock inside you, each catch of his breath against your ear, the heat in your belly stirs a little more. But it doesn’t stir as quickly as Kun, he cums with his mouth against your throat, his body flush against yours. 

One of his hands slides around down your belly, down between your legs, fingers against your clit as he thrusts several more times. Kun fucks his cum deeper inside you, gliding against your G spot while stimulating your clit, and you fall apart in his arms, feeling like you’re dissolving into sweet bliss as he keeps rocking his hips forward and tracing his fingers over your sensitive clit.

He keeps going until you’re whining, until he’s spilling inside you again.

Your legs shake as you actually put them into use again. Kun steps back, leaving you empty and on your own two feet. He rinses off quickly, running a hand down his body, over his cock. You twist around to watch him, biting your lip as you watch his hand run along his cock.

“Keep looking at me like that, babe, and I’m going to have to feed you something other than the dinner I started.” He leans in quickly, dropping a kiss to your lips, and then he steps out of the shower, calling back to you, “Shower quickly, dinner should be ready in a few minutes.”

You finish your shower, dry off, dress in a camisole and cotton shorts, then you head to the kitchen.

Kun’s standing at the counter, chopping a few toppings for the stew he’s made. You walk up behind him, wrap your arms around him and lay your head against his bare shoulder. He’s only wearing sweatpants that hang low on his hips. You run your hand over his bare belly, up his chest, and back down to the edge of his sweatpants. 

Kun sits the knife aside. 

You turn your head, brushing your lips over his warm skin. Kun lets out a shaky breath. You let your pinky finger tuck beneath the edge of his sweatpants.

“It smells good,” you tell him. “I’m ready to eat.”

Kun’s hand trembles as he picks up the knife again, and you rest your cheek against his shoulder, watching as he tries to chop up the last few ingredients. And then you notice.

He’s really so warm, his skin flaming hot beneath your cheek.

“Kun?” You take a step to the side, peering at his face, lifting a hand to his cheek. “Are you sick? You feel feverish.”

His eyes are dark when he looks at you. His pupils are blown wide, and he nearly moans at the cool press of your fingers against his warm cheek. “I’m not sick. I feel fine, except I don’t think that lady was lying about the pollen. I’m still so hard, babe, it hasn’t gone down at all.” 

You look down to his sweatpants, at his cock that’s still ragingly hard, tenting the front of his pants.

Your mouth fills with saliva, and you lift your gaze back up to meet your boyfriend’s. You swallow to keep yourself from drooling when you say, “I meant what I said in the car, Kun. However, wherever, as often as you like. I can take it. Use me as your fucktoy.”

“Fuck.” Kun sits the knife aside again, and he reaches for you, twisting his fingers in your hair, and he forces you to your knees. 

Your mouth drops open as Kun uses his free hand to push his sweatpants down. His hard, heavy cock springs free, already wet at the tip, leaking a crystalline thread of precum. You don’t need Kun’s hand in your hair to guide you; you dive forward, catching the falling bead on your tongue and following it up to the source, sucking Kun’s cockhead in. 

That’s when he takes over, hand pressing against the back of your head, forcing you deeper on his cock. His hips jerk forward at the same time, triggering your gag reflex as he hits the back of your throat. Not that that stops him, if anything it encourages him to go harder, faster, and you take it all, hungry for his cock shoved down your throat even as your eyes begin to water, as your jaw and throat ache from the repeated pressure. You slurp around him as he starts to drag your mouth off of his cock. His fingers tight in your hair, Kun allows you a brief breath before he’s fucking back into your mouth.

You’re drooling all over his cock as Kun holds the back of your head, fucking his cock into the deep warmth of your throat. And when he cums, he just keeps going, filling your mouth and shooting down the back of your throat, it leaks from the corners of your lips, and you think you’re going crazy because you want more.

Kun drags you off his cock by your hair.

Spit and cum and tears streak your face, dripping from your chin as you look up at Kun. 

He releases his hold on your hair to run his thumb under your bottom lip. “You’re so beautiful, babe. Get up, here you go.” Kun offers you his hand, and you slide your palm against his as he pulls you up to your feet. “Good girl, now sit down. It’s time for dinner.”

You obediently sit at the table, still a little fucked-dumb, still dripping his cum even when Kun serves you a bowl of the stew he made. It smells heavenly, rich with spices, and you dig in, the flavors of it only made better with the added flavor of Kun’s cum lingering on your tongue.

Kun pretty much inhales his helping of the stew, and he doesn’t even wait for you to finish eating before he’s walking over to you. You’re quite hungry, so you don’t want him to pull you away from the meal, even though you can see his cock still bulging his sweatpants, staining them with a spot of precum. 

“Keep eating, babe,” Kun tells you, reaching out to stroke your hair. “You need to eat to keep up your strength. If what the lady said is true, I’m probably gonna be like this for a few days.” 

You think back to him sucking the pollen residue off his fingers, licking his hands clean. Who knows how much he ingested?

You eat a spoonful of stew, eyeing his erection out of the corner of your eye. Is he just going to stand there and not take care of it? You look up at Kun, and it’s a horny little demon inside you that speaks with your voice, saying, “You don’t have to wait for me to finish eating, Kun. Until this wears off, I’m yours to do what you want with me.”

His cock twitches in his pants. Kun groans.

“Do you mean that, though? Really?” 

You nod. “Anything you want. Within reason. No bringing anyone else into this–”

“I don’t want to share you!” Kun interjects.

You continue, “Nothing that we haven’t talked about before.”

Kun smirks at that. “Well, that pretty much leaves everything on the table, then doesn’t it?” He strokes your hair again. “All I want right now is to cover you in my cum, babe, head to toe. I want to fuck you in every room in this house, fuck you until we both pass out. I want to treat you like my doll.”

You turn back to your bowl of stew. You shrug, “Then do it, Kun.”

Out of the corner of your eye, you see him draw his cock out of his pants. You watch him start stroking his cock, but you focus on eating your stew, blowing on it to cool it off, taking your time to lick the spoon clean after each bite. You eat the stew like your pussy isn’t throbbing with arousal watching Kun jerk off inches away from your face. 

He cums again when you’ve got your spoon halfway to your mouth. Kun’s cum streaks over your cheek, landing in your hair, across your lips, some of it hits your spoon and your hand. You eat that spoonful too, enjoying the extra salty addition of his cum to it. Kun keeps stroking his length, a few last spurts striping your cheek as you reach for the bowl. You lift it to your lips, quickly draining what little is left because as soon as it’s gone, as soon as you’ve sat the bowl down, Kun is pulling you to your feet.

When he moves you so your ass is on the edge of the table, you expect Kun to push your shorts to the side and slide his cock right inside you.

You don’t expect Kun to sink to his knees, for him to tear your shorts down around your ankles, and bury his face between your thighs. He spreads your legs with a hand on each thigh, massaging them as he licks at your pussy, as he fucks his tongue into you, as he sucks at your clit and licks up your wetness as you’re drenching his tongue, writhing against his face, needing more and more.

Kun moans loudly, eating you out in the most noisy manner he ever has. 

You cum on his tongue, hands knotted in his hair as you ride it out, grinding against Kun’s face.

“If this is what we have in store,” you gasp as Kun licks a strip up your pussy one more time, “I think I could get used to this. You’ve never given better head, honestly. I need you to be this horny all the time if it means I get eaten out like that.”

Kun scatters kisses over your thighs. “We’re just getting started, babe.” 

- - -

For the rest of the night, Kun has you sit on his lap, cockwarming him while you watch a movie together. 

Kun’s hands are constantly moving – stroking along your thighs, dipping to touch your clit while forcing you to sit still on him; he pulls the neckline of your camisole down to expose your tits, and he teases your nipples until you’re whimpering and fighting the urge to fuck yourself on his cock. But as soon as you get desperate enough to beg for it, Kun stops.

He’ll have you sit up, kneeling above his lap with just the head of his cock still buried in your pussy as he jerks off, cumming inside you so he can watch it drip back out of your pussy. Instead of letting you cum, when you’re teetering on the edge, he’ll have you kneel on the floor, cockwarm him with your mouth instead so he can cum across your tongue and cheeks again, adding even more to the mess he’d made at dinner. He edges you again, and then he fucks your tits, cumming across them then taking his time afterwards to clean it up with his tongue, feeding it back to you and watching you swallow everything before he returns his tongue to your nipples, flicking his tongue over the hardened buds until you’re rocking your hips up off the sofa restlessly.

Kun cums more times than you can keep track of, and you take all of the cum he gives you, hungrily sucking his cock, feeling him fill your pussy, spreading his cum across your tits with your fingers, moaning as he shoots his load across your back while he’s got his fingers inside you.

Kun edges you through it all until finally your body can’t take anymore, and you cum around him while Kun’s got you riding him. He’s hugging you to his chest, his mouth locked with yours, and he is once again spilling into you when your orgasm finally explodes through you.

You don’t remember him carrying you to the bathroom, don’t remember Kun rinsing off with you in the shower, or when he carries you to bed. You remember only a brief glimpse of his cock finally going soft when he settles into bed beside you.

And you think that’s it. 

The sex pollen ran its course.

You’re a little bit disappointed at that thought, truly. When you wake in the morning to pale sunlight, you check on your sleeping boyfriend, and Kun is all spread out beside you. He’s kicked away the sheets in his sleep, and although he still feels warm to the touch, his cock is soft against his thigh. 

You know maybe you should feel like you had enough yesterday. The never-ending edging paired with the amount of fucking you and excessive cumming Kun had done should have satisfied you. But you were having fun. You liked Kun treating you like a cumdump.

Maybe you should go back to the Little Shop of Wonders, ask the witch for that vial of honey or maybe purchase the whole sex pollen plant.

You crawl quietly out of bed, pull on a shirt of Kun’s, and you tiptoe to the kitchen to deal with the mess from last night. Neither of you had bothered with the dishes from the stew, which are still spread out on the table. You get to work cleaning, tidying things and doing the dishes. 

It’s probably for the best that Kun’s already gotten over the effects of the sex pollen, you think as you finish the dishes from last night and start making breakfast instead. Kun is supposed to work today. He’s got a deadline coming up, so he needs to get in the studio today, and he’d been complaining to you yesterday morning about a meeting he has this morning. He’s got things to do, people to see, he can’t call in sick today because he’s too busy dealing with a sex pollen crisis, though at least the people he’s working with and having meetings with are some of his closest friends; they just might understand the situation.

“Good morning,” Kun says suddenly behind you, startling you a bit, but before you can turn to him, his arms are around you, and his hard cock is against your ass. “I guess this isn’t over yet, babe.” He kisses your cheek. “I thought when I fell asleep that it must be. I’d gone soft, but I just woke up hard as I ever was yesterday.”

He thrusts against your ass. 

“So I’m gonna fuck you, babe. But you keep doing what you’re doing, hm?” Kun pushes up the back of the shirt you’re wearing, revealing your ass to him. “God, you’re truly unbelievable, you know that? So fucking pretty, my babe.” And then he’s pressing in, cock pushing inside your pussy. 

You brace your arms against the countertop, and you try to keep finishing the breakfast prep you’d been doing before Kun came in. The way that he’s fucking you makes that a little more difficult, but you try, and Kun seems to like that. 

“Yes, babe, look at you. You’re taking it so well, letting me use you like this.” His cock twitches inside you. 

It’s not easy, that’s for sure.

Your focus starts to slip when Kun pulls your hips back, angling you just right so each of his thrusts is nailing against your G spot. He’s moaning behind you, praising how sweet and tight and warm you feel around his cock. Your pussy just keeps growing wetter and wetter as he reaches up beneath your shirt to grope at your tits, as you try to keep on task even as Kun’s fucking you into delirium.

Kun cums, flooding your pussy, pressing in deep a few more times. 

He steps back, and although you try to keep tight, to keep his cum in, you can feel some of it dripping out, sliding down your thigh, dropping to the floor.

Kun pats your ass, then pulls the shirt back down. 

“Good girl.” He kisses your cheek again. 

He sits down at the table, and a few moments later, the breakfast you were making is ready, so he pulls you into his lap to dine together. 

“Kun,” you say after a while, “Don’t you have to go to the studio today? Don’t you have a meeting too?”

His erection is digging into your thigh, unable to be ignored. 

“I do, and I was actually thinking about that.” He brushes his lips over your neck. “What if you come with me? This reaction isn’t going away, so I’m going to need to cum regardless of whether you’re there or not. So I could jerk off every five minutes, or you could come along and we’ll both get something out of it. What do you say?”

Twenty minutes later, you’re in the car with Kun. He’s flying down the streets. 

Even though his eyes are focused on the road, his driving is worse than usual, though that almost certainly has to do with the fact that as soon as he’d pulled onto the road, he’d tangled his fingers in your hair and urged your mouth down into his lap. 

You eagerly sucked at Kun’s cock, stroking him with both hands, leaving kisses along his length, drooling over the tip, choking yourself on him. Kun lays his hand on the back of your head, directing you when he really feels like he needs to. As you draw closer to the studio where Kun works as a producer, he starts taking over, pushing you down around his cock, his hips rising off the seat to drive himself deeper down your throat. 

He cums right as he’s pulling into the parking garage of the studio. You clean him up as he navigates to a parking spot, and you wait patiently in the passenger seat as Kun gets out. He comes around to your side, opening the door and taking your hand like a gentleman, and he pulls you into a kiss as soon as you’re both standing outside the car.

He takes you into his studio, sitting you in his lap while he starts working, though that only works for so long. Soon he’s getting distracted by the pressing need he keeps grinding against your ass, so he has you slide to your knees beneath the mixing board. You pull up the sweater you wore, and Kun has you push your tits together around his cock, and he fucks between the softness of them, cumming across your tits and then immediately dragging your mouth around his cock. 

You’re still kneeling there beneath the mixing board with your mouth full of his cock when his friend, who is also the artist he’s recording today, walks in. YangYang either doesn’t notice you down there or chooses not to say anything. You obediently keep your mouth around Kun, suckling and shifting on your knees. 

YangYang chats with Kun for just a couple minutes, and then he heads into the recording booth. 

Kun drags you off his cock, and you look up at him. “Babe, I really need to focus on this recording session, okay? So I’m gonna need you to take everything I give you, no whining or touching yourself, okay?”

You nod, sticking your tongue out, offering your mouth up to Kun again.

“Good girl.” Kun pushes you back down around his cock. You hear him press a button above your head, and then he says, “Alright, YangYang, go ahead.”

You bob your head on Kun’s cock, working your hardest to get him to cum for you, knowing that if he doesn’t cum, Kun’s going to be distracted. All you have to do is keep him satisfied, and then he’ll be focused. 

He cums within minutes, but you keep going, and Kun tightens his fingers in your hair. You bring your hands up to his cock too, stroking him into your mouth, letting some of his cum and your spit slide down to lube the way. You’re making a mess of him; his cum leaking out of your mouth is pooling on the front of his pants, but you can’t help it. You’re swallowing around him, swallowing the first load of cum, but before long he’s cumming again, letting out a grunt as you choke around his cock.

“Dude, you good?” YangYang asks from inside the booth. 

“Fine. Try that verse again.”

Kun’s hand weighs down against the back of your head, pushing you all the way down around his cock, and you close your eyes, letting him do it. You sink into some kind of state where you’re not asleep, but you’re not fully conscious either. All you know is the weight of Kun’s cock on your tongue, the taste of his cum, the smell of him as your nose is buried at the base of his cock. You can hear his voice, but he could be talking to you or a whole crowd of people, and you wouldn’t know the difference.

Eventually, Kun lets you up again, tugging lightly on your hair.

You gag as you’re pulled off of him, coughing and gasping for breath. Kun’s cum drips from your lips and chin.

“Are you okay?” Kun asks when he takes one look at the dazed expression on your face. “Babe, are you good to continue.”

You nod, feeling your lips form a loose smile. 

Kun brings his hand up, wiping at your cheeks and chin and lips. His fingers are gentle beneath your chin as he brings you forward into a kiss. His lips leave yours, brushing over your forehead. 

“We’re done with this for now.” He helps you the rest of the way to your feet. “You’re too far gone, you can’t even speak to me right now. If you could see the look on your face right now, my love, you would understand. Don’t pout.” You didn’t realize you were until Kun said that, and you try to tame your expression. He smiles, leading you over to the sofa along the back wall. “Take a nap. You’re amazing, and I love you, and once this all wears off, I owe you something huge.”

You hum, sinking down onto the sofa, laying your head down, and immediately you can feel a tired pull. 

Kun strokes his hand over your head, kisses your forehead one more time, and you’re asleep before he walks away. 

- - -

You sleep it off there on the sofa, waking hours later to go home with Kun. 

He fucks you senseless a few more times that night at home, and when you wake the next morning you stay in bed with him, waiting for him to wake, waiting for him to need to fuck you again, to let you suck his cock again even though you’re pretty sure at this point, your throat is permanently molded to the shape of Kun’s cock.

But when he wakes, Kun just pulls you against his chest. His cock doesn’t grow hard. He just sighs and holds you close, and you’re actually perfectly content with that change of pace too.

But a few days later, as you’re heading home from work, you get the thought into your head to return to the Little Shop of Wonders, to see if that witchy woman will sell you a vial of that sex honey. 

The pollen had been a lot. Your body is still aching days later, and Kun swears his balls are sore from how much he came in such a short span of time. But you’ve both agreed that maybe the honey would be nice to have – a less intense version of that that lasts only a few hours wouldn’t be bad to experience from time to time.

You walk down the side street you’d passed down just a few days ago, and you search the shopfronts for the window displays filled with crystals and viney plants, for the recessed doorway with the brass lantern and the ancient-looking wooden door. 

But you pass up and down that street three times, checking each shop before you finally give up. It’s not here. It’s as if the Little Shop of Wonders was never here at all, but you know you couldn’t have imagined it.

Weeks pass, you forget about it, too swept up in the holiday season closing in around you. Christmas is just days away, winter staking her claim over the city with a snowstorm blowing in this afternoon, ruining your plans to go shopping for Kun a Christmas present and a birthday present, since that’s a week later.

You’re hurrying home from work, bundled up against the chill, thinking about what you can get Kun that he’ll truly appreciate.

And then, from the corner of your eye through the swirling snow, you see a gleam of bronze. You turn your head. 

A brass lamp.

A wooden door.

Large plate glass windows frosted over, but not entirely concealing the displays of crystals and books and a wreath of candles and symbols. 

A new wooden sign creaks above the door, blowing back and forth in the wind. 

The Little Shop of Wonders sits waiting, promising the perfect present for Kun.   

a/n: I could've gone on and on with this one honestly! I was going to write a few more scenes, but it's getting late and I really need to post this.

I hope you enjoyed! Reblogs are deserving of my eternal gratitude, likes are greatly appreciated, and your thoughts and comments are always welcome !

The Museum of World Wonders, Curiosities, and Taxidermy was not just a museum. It was a labyrinth of impossibilities, a place where the very fabric of reality seemed to stretch and warp in strange, unsettling ways. Each room, each floor, whispered its own twisted tale—some inviting, others not so much. It was an institution of the bizarre, the unsettling, and the utterly inexplicable, and Rune, though he often pretended otherwise, was bound to it. His fingers, stained with ink and mystery, had been woven into its very essence.

The museum’s three exhibit floors are a chaotic labyrinth of artifacts and treasures, their placements defying any sense of logic or curation. A cursed dagger, its blade darkened by an ancient hex, rests beside an innocuous porcelain doll with a crack running through its face. A rare ceremonial mask from a long-forgotten civilization acts as a paperweight atop a haphazard stack of mundane papers... receipts, letters, and a yellowed grocery list scribbled in an unknown language. No, it's just Rune's bad handwriting.

Shelves bow under the weight of odd juxtapositions: an enchanted music box that plays haunting melodies sits next to a jar of preserved organs. A taxidermied fox with too many eyes is perched on a pedestal, and beneath it lies a perfectly ordinary pair of antique glasses. Every corner seems like a surreal scavenger hunt, with no clue as to why a sailor’s compass is displayed with a collection of broken pocket watches, or why a faded carnival poster hangs behind a glass case containing a tarnished crown.

The randomness could be unsettling. The items dictate where they belong, whispering to Rune in ways he’s stopped questioning. These mismatched arrangements create an atmosphere which feels alive, as though the artifacts are playing their own game, mocking any attempt to impose order.

At its heart, the museum is a puzzle with no solution.

Ground Floor: The Grand Entrance and Curio Shop

The moment you step inside, there’s an almost palpable sense of having crossed into a strange ... nearly unwelcoming place, as if you’re not just entering a building, but stepping into another world. The air is thick with the scent of dust, old leather, and the faint tang of the medicinal. In the entrance hall, a life-sized mechanical elephant sits with its trunk raised as if to trumpet a welcome, but its sound is more of a dismal creak. Next to it, a glass cabinet holds the preserved heart of a giant squid, floating in a viscous fluid that shifts between colors like oil on water, though the heart is as still as death.

The floors creak underfoot, and the walls are adorned with strange, mismatched wallpaper, each room painted in different hues that clash violently.

From here, a crooked staircase spirals upward, the railings warped as if the wood had grown itself into a twisted form. A faded sign hangs from the wall, barely legible, reading: "Wanderer, beware. The wonders are alive, and they do not rest."

Here you will find:

The Mechanical Elephant A life-sized mechanical elephant greets visitors with a creaky, discordant trumpet of sound from its trunk. Its cold, brass body sits in the corner, its glassy eyes tracking every movement as if it were waiting for something to happen.

Faux Artifacts of Ancient Civilizations Stone tablets, urns, and scrolls line the walls, all expertly crafted but entirely fake. The scrolls are filled with gibberish, and the urns bear fictional inscriptions. Rune finds it amusing when visitors try to decipher them, believing they hold secrets of long-lost civilizations.

Taxidermy Oddities Stuffed creatures that shouldn't exist are scattered around, like a two-headed goat and a "flying fox bat." Some, like the "shapeshifting" creatures, are purely for show. Rune enjoys watching people puzzle over these strange anomalies, never revealing the truth.

The "Magical" Objects A shelf full of "enchanted" trinkets, including mirrors that predict the future and cauldrons that cure ailments. Each item is cleverly designed to deceive, offering a taste of fantasy for those willing to believe. Rune silently watches as people examine them with wide eyes.

The "Cursed" Items A corner of cursed artifacts (rings, necklaces, and figurines) each claiming to bring bad luck or cause strange dreams. The skull, said to be from a jungle expedition, is particularly popular for its eerie, glassy eyes. Rune takes great pleasure in watching people hesitate, uncertain whether to buy into the curse.

Fake Relics and Treasures Treasure chests overflowing with imitation gold coins, jewels, and ancient statuettes. One chest, labeled "Pirate Captain Edward Black's Loot," contains only costume jewelry and a single fake gold coin. Rune likes to tell people it’s worth millions, just to watch them squirm.

The Impossible Bookcase A towering bookshelf filled with "enchanted" books that only reveal their secrets to the truly worthy—except they’re all blank. Visitors often try to read them aloud, convinced of their hidden magic. Rune chuckles quietly to himself as they search for a story that’s never there.

The "Living" Paintings Video screens disguised as paintings, showing subtle shifts in landscapes or people moving. The scenes appear to change depending on where you stand, creating the illusion of a living image. Rune relishes watching people get lost in the mystery, convinced they’re witnessing something supernatural.

The "World" Map A large world map with pins marking places of strange occurrences, including one in Cardinal Hill. Visitors stare at it, wondering what secret is hidden at each red dot. Rune silently enjoys the speculation.

The Curio ShopShelves lined with trinkets—small figurines, fake jewels, and counterfeit relics filled the space. Nothing in the shop was real, not a single artifact worth anything more than its ability to fool someone desperate enough to buy it. There were "ancient" coins that couldn’t have been older than a century, "magical" amulets that seemed to shimmer with an odd, synthetic glow, and "enchanted" mirrors that only reflected more mirrors. The entire space was an illusion, meant to draw people in, convince them they were holding something significant, something worth the price. Rune spent most of his time behind the counter, watching over the charade with the dead-eyed boredom of a man who knew all too well how fake it all was.

First Floor: The Whimsical Wonders

The first floor was where things took a lighter turn, or at least a stranger one. The atmosphere here was playful, bordering on childlike, as if the room itself had once been a fanciful dream turned into reality. The walls were covered with intricate murals of mythical creatures: chimeras, centaurs, and mermaids, all woven into impossible landscapes. Statues of improbable proportions, like a five-foot-tall snail with the wings of an eagle or a gargantuan dragonfly suspended in midair, adorned the spaces. At the far end of the room was a carousel that didn’t move, though it looked like it should—suspended by intricate ropes and chains as if frozen in time.

There were strange optical illusions scattered about: a chair that seemed to get smaller the closer you got to it, a mirror that reflected the opposite of the room, and a display of "living paintings," where figures in the frames would blink but never leave their spaces. The room’s sole purpose seemed to be to bewilder the senses in the most delightful way possible, without causing too much alarm.

The Hall of Whimsical Wonders A hallway lined with bizarre, oversized objects that defy logic—like a chair that appears to be floating or a top hat that stretches to impossible heights. The surreal nature of the space gives the sense of stepping into a dream.

The Glass Menagerie A room filled with delicate glass creatures, dragons, birds, and mythical beasts, that shimmer in the light. They seem to move when you aren’t looking directly at them, creating the illusion of life.

The Room of Shifting Shadows In this room, the shadows seem to move independently of their objects, forming strange shapes on the walls. The dim lighting and abstract sculptures create an eerie, playful atmosphere.

The Clockwork Garden Mechanical plants and flowers wind and twirl in an elaborate display, powered by an intricate clockwork system. When visitors approach, the flowers "bloom" with delicate metallic petals, releasing soft chimes.

The Floating Room A small room where the furniture and decorations appear to hover inches above the floor, defying gravity. The illusion is created by carefully hidden supports and clever mirror tricks. Rune relishes the reactions of those who spend too long wondering if it's all some kind of enchantment.

The Talking Portraits A series of painted portraits of imagined figures, each with an intricate backstory. As visitors approach, the portraits seem to whisper their tales, though it’s all recorded audio and cleverly hidden speakers. Rune finds it amusing how seriously people take the "voices" coming from the paintings.

The Staircase to Nowhere An elegant, spiral staircase that leads to a door—but the door only opens into a blank wall. Guests are often caught at the top, perplexed and unsure how to proceed.

The Enchanted Tea Set A set of porcelain teacups and a teapot that always appears full, no matter how much tea is poured from it. When guests sip from the cups, they claim to experience fleeting visions of strange places. Rune only serves water, but the illusion is always convincing enough.

Second Floor: The Taxidermy Chamber

The second floor, Rune’s personal favorite, is a cacophony of the bizarre and the unsettling. It is a place where life has been forcibly preserved, frozen forever in poses that are both unnerving and surreal. One room contains a family of animals: an owl perched upon a wolf’s back, a rabbit’s claws resting on the wolf’s fur as if they’ve been captured in an eternal, impossible embrace. Their glassy eyes gleam with a lifelessness that feels almost too vivid.

At the far end of the hall, a giant bat spreads its wings wide, suspended from the ceiling. The bat’s head turns with an unnatural creak as visitors pass beneath it. The taxidermy here doesn’t just capture life; it locks it in a moment of perpetual motion, like a bug caught in amber.

One room, labeled The Gallery of Oddities, holds the museum's most infamous piece: a two-headed snake that coils around a branch of fossilized coral. But if someone stays too long, they'll hear a faint hissing noise that seems to come from both heads. Some say the creature speaks, though no one knows its language. Others claim it hums a song... an unsettling lullaby that burrows deep into the brain.

Third Floor: The Hall of Impossible Architecture

If someone thought the first two floors were strange, the third will make them question everything. Rooms here seem to bend and stretch beyond the natural laws of physics, as if the very geometry of the space was contorted. In one corner, a room stretches impossibly upward, taller than the building should allow, its walls covered with jagged murals of impossible landscapes, where skies are dotted with floating islands and gigantic creatures that seem to stare down.

In another room, the floor slopes downward at a disturbing angle, and the walls bend inward, the edges of the room becoming increasingly tight until visitors are forced to hunch to make their way through. Those who stand at the wrong point in the room claim to feel dizzy and disoriented, as if gravity itself has begun to lose its grip.

There is also a locked door on this floor, marked only with a symbol that no one recognizes. It was never meant to be opened, but late at night, those who stand before it often hear strange scraping noises from the other side.

Fourth Floor: Rune’s Quarters

Rune’s living quarters are an sanctuary of disorder and personal chaos amidst the madness of the museum. The floor slopes at an odd angle, as if the building itself is trying to tip him over the edge. His bed, a large, creaky frame, is pushed against a wall that bulges slightly outward, giving the room the strange sense that it might, at any moment, collapse inward. The window, looking out over the snow-covered town, reveals nothing but the stark white of winter's grip—a view of nothingness that matches Rune’s mood more often than he cares to admit.

His desk is cluttered with dusty books, old maps, and scattered papers: some outlining future exhibits, others filled with frantic sketches of strange creatures and architectural anomalies. An old brass lamp, dimly lit, flickers on and off, casting strange shadows across the room, while a collection of oddities, pieces of broken objects, jars of unsettling liquids, and half-formed sculptures, litter every available surface. Rune's only constant companion is the strange hum that emanates from the far corner of the room, where a brass lantern hangs, its glow faint but insistent.

His living space is the one area of the museum where the madness doesn't feel as pervasive, but it's still deeply unsettling, full of things Rune has inherited and re-found over the years.

exe. 1. draft 1 The Fragrance of the Future.

The city hums outside my window—drones zipping through the morning sky, holographic advertisements flickering above old streets. Somewhere down the road, the Ganga flows, though it’s quieter now, the riverbanks reshaped into seamless terraces of glass and stone. Varanasi has changed, but not as much as you’d think. The prayers still rise every morning—only now, they float on mist instead of smoke.

I kneel by the small home altar in the corner of my solar-paneled apartment. It’s a minimalist setup: brass idols resting on transparent shelves, surrounded by floating lamps that glow with soft amber light. At the center sits Agarra, its smooth metallic surface catching the morning light.

"Activate Sandalwood," I say softly, and with a quiet whirr, the device awakens. A holographic flame flickers to life above the altar as Agarra exhales a fine mist into the room. The scent spreads gently, like a whispered prayer—so familiar it tugs at my heart, even though the world that once burned sandalwood sticks is long gone.

I close my eyes and inhale deeply. As I breathe in, the fragrance shifts—floral notes weaving through the sandalwood, subtle but precise, as if the device senses the tension coiled inside me. I find myself wondering: Is it faith that brings comfort, or just my voice?

The app on my tablet pings with today’s suggested combination: jasmine for joy, sandalwood for focus. Each cartridge is biodegradable, infused with what they call "temple-blessed nanomaterials". I like to think that somehow, the prayers are carried in the mist now, filling the same air that drifts through this apartment and the streets beyond.

When I visit the temple downtown, the rituals are as mesmerizing as I imagine they were in the past. The walls are lined with Agarra stations, each releasing gentle waves of mist timed perfectly with the hymns. The chants float above the crowd, shimmering light and sound blending with the fragrance to create a synesthetic prayer.

The worshippers move slowly, hands folded, heads bowed, just like they always have. Some embrace this fusion of tradition and tech; others say the sacred has been reduced to circuits and algorithms. I don’t think it’s better or worse. It’s just... different. We’ve traded matches for voice commands, smoke for mist. But the soul of the ritual? That’s still the same.

The sandalwood lingers in the air, and for a moment, everything feels... still. Whole. Faith finds a way—whether carried by smoke, or mist, or something we haven’t imagined yet.

The Bingo Boys* of 2X80- the futuristic D&D and homebrew mashup of a world @samusthedude is DMing!

From left-to-right and top-to-bottom

Daniel's (no tumblr) Stone the Genasi (aka Jasper aka The Rock Dwayne Johnson)

@quaxorascal's Jax the Dwarf (aka Centurion aka "fucking CHUCK?")

My Pétra the Dwarf (aka [REDACTED] aka The Worst Warlock)

@subcorax's Vivian the Half-Elf (aka "oh good he's seventeen")

*(gender-neutral) Descriptions under cut! (Thank you iz!!)

[ID: four full-colour digital portraits of D&D characters, drawn in a style that is evocative of paintings. The first portrait is of Jasper Stone, an earth genasi man. Stone stands in front of a chain link fence at night, looking forebodingly at the viewer. He is wearing a dark grey jacket that covers his entire upper body, with a black hood over his head and a dark grey respirator mask over his mouth and nose. An automatic rifle is held to his back with a black cross-body strap. His short-cropped hair is black, and what little skin is visible is grey and subtly cracked like stone. His eyes are brown, including the sclera. A yellow-toned spotlight shines above Stone, illuminating him and the dust that floats around him.

The second portrait is of Jax, a dwarf man. Jax leans one arm against a wooden bar. The wall behind him has bottles and barrels of various alcohols on shelves. Jax is has brown hair with an undercut and a bun, light skin, bushy eyebrows, hazel eyes, slightly pointed ears, and a full beard, with a braid starting from his cheek and the whole beard bound together with two brass-coloured metal bands. He has lots of dark hair elsewhere on his body as well. He is wearing a black shirt under a blue flannel shirt with the sleeves rolled up, with the front of his shirts tucked into black denim pants; he is also wearing a dangly brass earring, as well as subtle blue eyeliner and black nail polish. Jax is cleaning a beer glass in his hands with a cloth, his chin raised to listen and watch around him.

The third portrait is of Pétra Carpenter, another dwarf. They have their arms folded on a table; the angle of the drawing is as if the viewer were sitting at the table next to them, and they are looking toward the viewer. They have long dark brown wavy hair worn loose down their back, bushy eyebrows, brown eyes, a round nose, slightly pointed ears, and a short beard. They also have dark body hair on their arms. They are wearing a black denim jacket with the sleeves ripped off, over an old white t-shirt, and fingerless gloves; they are also wearing a black stud earring and a grey trucker hat with text on the front that reads: "in dog years, I'm dead". Pétra grins at the viewer and flashes a peace sign over the bicep of their other arm. Warm light filters into the room from over their shoulder; meanwhile, a shadow in the rough shape of a person looms behind them where the light doesn't reach

The fourth and final portrait is of Vivian Renée, a skinny half-elf teenage boy. He is standing in front of a convenience store at night; a neon sign in the window says "open". He has unevenly-cut straight brown hair with a stark white streak, brown skin, thick eyebrows, green eyes, a long and straight nose, and pointy ears. He is wearing a white cropped jacket with orange trim and rolled-up sleeves, over a black 100 Gecs t-shirt. He is holding his phone close to his face with both hands, and looking at the viewer with an annoyed expression. /end ID]
