Earth Angel

soft!dom!kit walker x virgin!afab!reader

warnings: smut, p in v sex, loss of virginity, unprotected sex, creampie, fingering, handjob (kinda?), aftercare, my first time writing for a man 😭, so much fluff it’s actually disgusting, kit kinda doms the reader but its more like guiding them on what to do, no pronouns used but explicitly talks about the reader having female body parts and reader wears a dress, no y/n.

word count: 4.4K (4486 words)

a/n: this is my first time writing for a male character so i’m sorry if it sucks 😭💀 i’ve also not finished asylum yet so pls no plot spoilers. im only halfway through but i really love kit and just wanted to write for him. @domripley and @g-h-o-s-t-b-a-b-i have waited so patiently for this crappy fic.

main masterlist

The hands of the clock on the wall slowly ticked towards 6pm as you hurriedly bustled around your kitchen. It seemed as though the more you focused on the impending time, the slower the hands ticked forward, seconds stretching into what felt like hours. A cruel trick of the mind, and one you were unable to help. Every time you heard the minute hand click forward, your eyes snapped to the offending clock, nearly groaning in frustration when it hadn’t magically fast-forwarded time to when you wanted it.

6pm was when Kit walked through your front door. Every Thursday, at 6pm on the dot, the mechanic would saunter into your home as if it were his, wrapping you in his arms and lavising you with sweet words and kisses. And every Thursday, without fail, the clock on the wall seemed to mock you as time slowly marched on.

‘Earth Angel’ played over your small, crappy radio on the window sill, you softly humming along and swaying to the melodic music when you finally felt the breeze of the outside air and heard the front door burst open and closed again, Kit’s heavy footsteps carrying him to you.

This was a ritual that the two of you had carried out for months. You met Kit on a date, ironically enough, with another man, one your father had chosen for you. The evening had inevitably ended with you turning the man away, as you promised your father you would, and Kit sliding himself next to you on a stool in the cozy diner, charming his way straight into your heart. You knew your father would never approve of your love affair with Kit. ‘Greasemonkey’ your father would mumble whenever you were with him while Kit filled his car with fuel, the pair of you sharing stolen glances and secret smiles all the while.

You were broken out of your thoughts when Kit’s arms wrapped around your waist from behind, his head nestling comfortably in the crook of your neck.

“Smells good,” he mumbled, pressing a chaste kiss to your neck, swaying along with you to the music. The gravy you had prepared bubbled on the stove while your little egg timer dinged, signaling to you that the chicken you had been cooking was finally ready, and Kit reluctantly let you out of his arms. He watched as you carefully pulled the tray from the oven, turning off the gas before the baking tray clattered to the stovetop.

“You take such good care of me, suga’,” his accent was clear as the nickname rolled from his tongue, and you couldn’t help but giggle as he leaned over to press a kiss to your cheek, quickly taking the opportunity to pull you away from the food, showering your face in a million tiny, quick kisses as you continued to laugh against him.

“Come on, stop that. Unless you want your dinner to be cold by the time you eat,” you swatted him away, wriggling out of his embrace, a bright smile still painted across your lips as you glanced back to see a pout on his.

Kit whined as you pulled away to begin fussing over plating up dinner, trailing behind you like a puppy desperate for attention, the sound causing another laugh to escape you.

“Missed you today,” he mumbled as he watched you scoop out mashed potatoes and an assortment of vegetables onto the plates, vying to tear your attention away from a dinner seemingly more important than him.

“I missed you too,” you smiled as you reached your hand behind you, searching for his face and cupping his cheek when you found it, stroking your thumb across the expanse without looking up from your task.

Kit huffed as you fretted over the final presentations of your dish, pressing himself closer to you once again, his hands finding their way to your hips. “C’mon, doll. Just one little kiss?”

Your smile burned brighter as you turned around to face him, spinning in his arms and pressing a quick kiss to his lips, turning away again just as quick, just when Kit began to melt into your touch.

Your hands gripped at the edges of the dinner plates, showing off your creation as Kit backed away to allow you the space to face him without the roast dinners smashing across the floor.

“Dinner is served,” you grinned up at him proudly as you made your way to the dining table, setting the plates down.

Kit huffed once again as you settled yourself in your chair, prepared to tuck into the meal as soon as Kit sat down. He grabbed the back of his chair, tugging it to your side of the table before sitting himself mere inches from your side, grinning at you cheekily as he dragged his plate towards his new spot, “much better.”

You laughed, shaking your head at him as he apparently forgot about his hunger, and the food in front of him that could satiate it, as he sighed contentedly at the sound of your laugh, better music to him than anything that could play from the radio. He would have been happy to simply stare at you all night, admiring the features that adorned your face, but a rumble from his stomach, accompanied by a pang of painful hunger, broke him out of his love drunk stupor.

“Come on, lover boy,” you encouraged, pushing his fork to where his hand rest on the table. “Eat up.”

Kit practically guzzled down his dinner, eager to have you against him again, despite only being a few inches away. He soaked up the last drops of gravy with a piece of bread that had been pushed to the side, impatiently finishing off his plate as you pushed your own away from you.

“Thank you, baby,” he smiled at you as he finally wolfed down the last of his food, turning to face you. “Best damn chicken I’ve ever had,” whether Kit was exaggerating for your benefit or not, his words still brought a blush to your face as you moved to clear up the plates, but Kit’s hand shot out to your arm to stop you.

“Nuh uh, you go get yourself comfy on the couch. I’ll sort this out,” of course, what Kit meant by that was spraying the plates with the warmest water your boiler could provide within a few seconds of impatient waiting before practically sprinting to your living room to find you sat on the edge of your couch, just as eagerly waiting for Kit’s return as he was to get back to you. The dishes could wait until the morning.

You quickly crawled into Kit’s lap once he was situated on the couch, a groan leaving his lips as you crashed yours against them.

This was all you had ever done during your Thursday nights and stolen moments when no one was glancing. Kit was far from pure when you had met, of that you were well aware, and while he assured you that he was more than content to just have your lips on his, anxiety still had a tendency to creep in and gnaw at you at the thought of him needing more. It wasn’t that you were waiting to intertwine yourself with someone in marriage, like so many expected of you, but more simply that you had been waiting for the right person, your knight in shining armour, your prince charming to sweep you off your feet. And while you wholeheartedly believed that Kit was truly the one you had been saving yourself for, a feeling of insecurity still wrapped itself around your heart and squeezed whenever you dared to imagine Kit seeing you in such a position. But now, as you moulded yourselves against each other, you were delighted to find that the only feeling that filled you during that moment was elation and butterflies. And so, with your heart pounding against your ribcage so rapidly you were sure it was about to burst out of your chest, you allowed your hand to trail ever so slowly down Kit’s chest, creeping under his white t-shirt when you reached the hem and splaying your fingers over his smooth skin.

You felt Kit’s muscles contract at your touch, a near-whimper leaving his mouth as he pulled his lips away, his forehead bumping against yours and allowing it to rest there as his head lulled forward.

You allowed your hips to begin slowly grinding into his, finding yourself unable to speak the words that you finally wanted to say, your mouth running dry at the prospect of the night ahead.

“Suga’, you don’t have to do that,” Kit’s hands stilled your hips, his voice unmistakably higher, your movements obviously having some sort of effect on him.

“I want to,” you assured him, pushing past his grip to continue your motions, Kit’s head falling right back at the sensation of you grinding against his lap.

“We don’t have to,” Kit insisted again, determined to not allow the growing stiffness in his pants to cloud his judgement.

You shushed him gently, allowing your still hand to begin running along the skin under your fingertips, almost hesitantly, as your hips ground down harder.

“I want to,” you repeated, feeling Kit’s growing length beneath you as you continued to toy with the skin of his abdomen, the muscles there jumping under your touch. “I’m ready now. I want you to be my first, Kit. Please.”

Kit’s hesitancy quickly began to dissipate as you pleaded with him, surging forward to capture you in a bruising kiss as you wrapped around each other, the line where you stopped and Kit started blurring as the kiss consumed you both.

“We really don’t have to,” Kit assured you again, his actions in contrast to his statement as his lips trailed from your mouth to your jaw, kissed and sucking at the skin there until dark purple blotches bloomed in his wake.

“Wanna,” was all you could manage out as Kit’s efforts made you weak, a high-pitched whine coming out as he sucked at the spot below your ear, smirking against your skin at your reaction.

“That feel good, doll?” You nodded rapidly as you urged him to continue, your hands weaving into his dark, wavy locks, holding him in place.

Kit continued for what felt like a blissful eternity, marking your body as his as your grinding motions slowly worked you both up, a wet patch forming as you leaked onto your underwear. Kit eventually tore himself away from your neck, leaving one last sweet kiss there.

“Come on, I want you to be more comfortable for this,” Kit encouraged you to cling to him before standing up, bringing you with him, your legs wrapped tightly around his waist while your fingers dug into his broad shoulders. Kit manouvered through your house, taking the path to your bedroom that he had so many times before for late-night cuddles and sweet nothings whispered between you both in the dark.

When you reached your room, you felt the soft mattress of your bed hit your back, Kit tumbling down after you, hovering above you, his forearms propping him up as his fingers reached to play with a lock of your hair.

“You tell me if you want me to stop, okay?” Kit reminded you, his words whispered as he looked at you splayed out beneath him. The faint glow of your lamp illuminated his face in a soft golden hue, and your eyes nearly teared up at his sincerity.

You hummed out an agreement, reaching up to once again pull his mouth to yours. The kiss was softer than the one you shared in your living room just moments before. It was a kiss full of love and promises of the future, one that seemed to shine a light on the entirety of your future with Kit by your side.

“It might hurt a bit, doll,” Kit warned you, his hand slowly trailing down from your hair, passed your waist and your thighs, to the hem of your dress, giving you every chance to intervene. You never did. “Gotta get you ready first.”

Kit continuously looked up at you as his hand snaked its way under your dress, wathcing for any signs of hesitancy or regret. When he found none, his fingers hooked around the waistband of your underwear, deftly pulling them down your legs until they slipped off and hung from his fingers. He stared at them for a moment, admiring the white lace that adorned the piece of fabric, before tossing them somewhere behind him to be moved to the clothes hamper sometime in the morning, much like the dishes now gathered in your sink.

Kit took his time with your skirt, moving it slowly up your legs and showing no shame in cherishing the sight of every inch of skin he hadn’t seen before, his eyes practically blowing wide to the size of dinner plates when the soft plush of your thighs were revealed to him. Eventually the skirt of your dress was pulled to your waist, the barest flesh of your stomach on display for him, but Kit was much more interested in what lay just beneath it.

You could feel your skin burning up and most likely flushing beetroot red as Kit took you in, the most private of areas that no one before him had seen in this context.

Kit’s fingers immediately went in search of your clit, grinning down at you when he felt the little bundle of nerves slip under his fingers and you let out a whine that was so beautiful to him that it only confirmed his theories that you were an angel sent down from the heavens, just for him.

The pleasure that shot through you at that moment nearly made you scream. You had noticed the tight bundle before, of course. Perhaps even experimented with proding at it, on occasion. But the sensation you brought yourself could never be compared to the one you were feeling as Kit’s thumb continuously stroked over it in slow circles.

“That feel good, suga’?” he asked, staring dreamily down at you, engraving every contort of pleasure on your face to his memory, while you were only able to nod at his words.

Your voice finally found it’s way back to you as one of Kit’s fingers slowly slid inside of you, stilling once it reached his second knuckle, allowing your body to adjust as you screamed out in pure pleasure. “Holy fuck, Kit,” you weren’t normally one to swear, but you figured that moment was a good a time as any. Kit’s smile only beamed brighter at your reaction, experimenting by withdrawing his finger from you, now glistening in your wetness, before slowly pumping it back in.

“Gotta build you up first,” Kit’s words were hoarse and whispered out, his voice gravelly, and the thought that merely touching you did that to him shot excitement through you, your face flushing red until it reached down to your chest, past the neckline of your dress.

Kit noticed your reaction, leaning down to press a feather-light kiss to your forehead, trailing more down the bridge of your nose to the tip, before finally landing a tender kiss onto your lips. “You look so pretty. Always so pretty for me.”

Kit’s words did nothing to calm the evergrowing blush spreading through your body, especially when his next thrust included a second finger. Your body jolted forward, your redenning face finding solace in burying iself into Kit’s chest as you were unable to hold back a soft moan, embarassment flooding you at the noise.

“Oh, baby. Don’t be embarrassed, please,” Kit cooed softly, coaxing your face out of the comforting material of his shirt, raising your chin to meet his eyes. “You sound so beautiful, doll. Don’t hide away from me. Please.” Kit’s affirming words were accompanied by his thumb landing on your clit while his fingers continued their ministrations, each thrust causing it to rub the nerves there, drawing more quiet moans and whines from your lips, and Kit savoured every one.

Kit’s free hand found its way to your back, fiddling with as much material of your dress that he could gather without forcing his hand under you. “Can I?” His eyes were pleading, the unspoken question hanging in the air, and you nodded slowly. You sat up to better allow him to pull the zipper of your dress down your back. He peeled the dress from your body slowly, allowing his eyes to wander over every plane and curve, before you were finally bared to him in nothing but a bra, which he quickly unclipped, throwing both articles of clothing to join your underwear on the floor.

You then lay fully bear beneath Kit, while he remained fully clothed, an injustice you sought to fix as your hands toyed with the hem of his shirt before quickly pulling it up in a sudden surge of confidence, Kit aiding you in wrestling it over his head before he moved on to his grease-stained work trousers. The course navy material was hurriedly stripped from his legs, leaving him in just his stark white briefs, his hardness now clearly visible beneath the thin material. Kit’s hands reached for his waistband, but your own stopped him.

He looked up at you with worry evident in his eyes, a frown pulling his eyebrows together. “We can stop if you don’t want to-”

You quickly cut his words off, shaking your head, your eyes remaining trained on his obvious bulge. “No. No, it’s just…” you trailed off your sentence, your bedding suddenly very interesting in the heat of your mortification as Kit waited for you to continue, “I want to do it.”

A soft smile once again graced Kit’s plump lips, his hands guiding your uneasy ones to were the waistband rest on his hips. “It’s okay, darlin’. Take your time.”

You slowly pulled the tight material downwards, Kit’s cock immediately sprining out and slapping against his stomach. You gave a surprised yelp at the sudden movement, eliciting a chuckle from Kit along with a relieved sigh at the relief from the confines of his trousers and briefs.

You hesitantly outstretched your hand, reaching for the bulbous pink tip of the appendage as you looked on in wonder. It wasn’t until you met Kit that you wondered what one might look like, let alone having seen one before.

The tip of Kit’s cock was slick with precum and it twitched in your hand as your thumb slipped over the heated skin, Kit’s reaction of a low groan earning a worried stare from you, immediately retracting your hand.

“Did- did I do something wrong?” Kit’s frown at your question encouraged you to reach for his cock again, this time wrapping your hand around the length of it. “Was that a good sound?”

“A very good sound, doll,” Kit assured you, rapidly becoming lost in his own pleasure as your hand explored him, his head falling forward to rest on your shoulder, letting out a sharp whine as you gave him an experimental squeeze. You couldn’t help but grin a little as you heard the pace of Kit’s breath pick up next to your ear, precum oozing from his tip in a steady stream, coating your hand.

“Wanna be inside you,” his words were breathless and strained as he voiced his desires, a fine sheen of sweat quickly collecting on his forehead as the pressure within him began to build. “You ready for that, baby? It’s okay if you’re not.”

You offered Kit a reassuring smile, attempting to ease his constant worry as you guided him to your entrance, his cock sliding through your slit and collecting your slick, earning a soft whimper from you at the stimulation. “I’m ready, Kit. I swear.” Kit nodded once, his fretting dissipating slightly as he finally eased himself into you.

Your hands immediately went in search of something to cling to, settling on scraping your nails down Kit’s shoulders, dragging angry red lines down with them, as he slowly pushed himself into you. You clung to Kit, inside and out, as his whole body stilled, his cock twitching in anticipation that Kit couldn’t reign in, barely an inch passed the tip inside of you and yet you burned in a pleasurable pain as you stretched to accommodate him.

Kit remained unmoving inside of you, waiting for your signal to continue, and when you gave it, he practically collapsed against you, his lips brushing yours. “I promise I’ll be genle,” he made sure to keep that promise as he slowly pulled out from you before slowly thrusting back in, each tiny movement sending you into a sea of ecstasy that seemed to stretch on forever. Little by little, he fed more of his cock into you until he bottomed out, the flesh of his balls swinging gently against you as he finally filled you to the brim, your mouth hanging open in a constant, silent scream as your body tore itself apart between pain and pleasure.

The prickling pain only ceased when you eventually encouraged Kit to begin moving his hips, blunt pain melding into blinding pleasure as he nudged a spot inside of you that ripped a scream from your lungs. Kit knew what spot he hit, even if you didn’t, but his wolfish grin gaveway to the fact that he knew precisely what he was doing.

Your nails continued to rake down Kit’s back, coloured a more bright red than the same milky complexion as the rest of his body. In fear of breaking skin, your hands began to roam again until they made contact with his soft curls, a light tug on Kit’s hair forcing a groan of his own out.

“Fuck, suga’. Do that again,” his tone was practically a pleading beg, his accent thick and sending sporadic shivers down your spine as Kit’s thrusts momentarily grew sloppier at the pull of his hair. Your fingers weaved themselves deeper into Kit’s locks at his encouragement, winding into the thick curls before pulling again, harder, and the moan he let out was practically pornographic, something that sounded as if it belonged in those ‘new-age’ films your parents condemned right to hell. You needed to hear more of it.

Your hips began bucking up to meet Kit’s as you reached to play with the hair at the nape of his neck. Kit’s eyes slipped closed as he found himself becoming lost in you, propelling straight into pleasure undisovered even by him. Perhaps it was that you were now the one beneath him that heightened it.

Kit’s lips trailed to your jaw as he lay sprawled atop you, practically humping against you in shallow thrusts as you felt a band in your stomach begin to tighten.

“Kit…” your eyebrows knit together as the foreign feeling in your lower abdomen only grew, attempting to shove Kit away by his shoulders to ensure he heard your concerns. “Something feels weird.”

Kit practically had to tear himself away from you, glancing down to where your thighs shook and trailing to where his cock bulged inside of you, his hand reaching, almost instinctually, to press down on it, causing your whole vision to flash with stars.

“It’s okay, doll. Just give into it. I’m here, I’ve got ya. Just let go,” with Kit’s words, his spare hand worked at rubbing tight circles against your clit, every feeling flowing into one until all you could feel was Kit.

Your walls constricted around him as you felt the coil in you snap loose, intense, whiteout pleasure overtaking every nerve, every cell in your body. This triggered Kit’s own release as he spilled inside you, a mixture of your cum dripping out past his cock, mingling between your thighs.

Kit was practically panting as his head fell to your chest, his body forced up and down with every heavy breath you took. You hardly noticed when Kit pulled out, or when he started panicking over his cum spilling out of you. You were dead to the world, in a state of pure bliss.

“Fuck, baby, I’m so sorry,” Kit’s words were interrupted by gasps for breath, still trying to regain a hold of himself as his had twitched towards you, as if he planned to scoop his cum out of you. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it,” his eyes looked up to yours through thick lashes, a pleading look ready to placate whatever anger you felt towards him in that moment, but all he was met with was your glazed-over eyes and tired smile.

“‘S okay,” you looked down at him through hooded eyes, smiling dopely, barely aware of the implications of his words, feeling as though Kit had put your brain through a blender and left you mindless and happy.

Your body gave a startled jolt as Kit’s weight dipped the mattress beside you, not even having realised he had gotten up, now holding a damp cloth and the radio from your kitchen while sporting a lazy grin.

“It’s somethin’ to worry about tomorrow,” his lips pressed against your temple as his wandered back down to your dripping mess, swiping through it with the warm hand towel.

Your bedroom looked like a bomb hit it, with Kit’s clothes, yours, and then the towel that thoroughly needed a wash sprawled across the carpet.

The radio had looped back to ‘Earth Angel’, the very song that was playing on the old rusty jukebox in the town’s diner when you first laid eyes on Kit Walker. Kit’s arms wrapped around you as you dreamily sang along to the music, replacing some words with hums, but Kit would’ve given more money than his house was worth just to hear you sing that song that made him think of you everytime he heard even a second of it.

He pulled you into his chest, crading your body in his strong arms and large hands. You felt dizzy and warm and loved. Your lips trailed from Kit’s chest to his neck, planting light kisses before suddenly sucking harshly, soothing the red that you left there with your tongue as Kit looked down at you, shocked and puzzled.

“It’s only fair,” your words were mumbled from your near sleep-state as your fingers grazed the violently blooming bruises across your neck and chest that would take nearly your whole makeup collection to conceal from prying eyes. Kit seemed almost relaxed as your lips explored his neck.

You fell into the most deep and peaceful sleep you could ever recall that night, yours and Kit’s bare bodies clinging to each other as, even in your dreams, your minds both raced with thoughts of one another.

Hellfire Mom

Summary: You have been deem the title of Hellfire Mom since you were a sophomore. Even after starting your own little family with your fiancé Eddie, you still make sure your extended family gets fed and loved.

Trope: Dad!Eddie x Mom!Reader

A/N: I kinda want to make this into a series. Talking about how Eddie and reader met and little things like that. Would you peeps want that?

Warnings: Use of Y/N, horrible writing, mentions of sex but not really, fluff, Eddie just being in love with his family.

Word count: 1.2k

It was Friday, Hellfire Day. You always had Fridays off for that exact reason. Hellfire. You spent the day cooking and baking for your boys, the other family. You always had the mother instinct in you. You love the idea of having a family. It came a little too soon, people would say, but it was worth it. You and Eddie have been dating since freshman year and decided to wait till Prom your senior year to lose your virginity together. Well, the condom broke, because said condom was from freshman year, and boom you were pregnant. Yes, you got stares and were that talk of the town “she is having the freaks baby” “he will probably sacrifice her and the baby” but you both ignore them. Then on a chilly day in mid-January baby girl Munson was born, Stella Munson. She’s beautiful, she has Eddie’s big brown eyes, his curly brown hair other than that she was your mini me......Speaking of your mini me she should be getting up from her nap soon.

Right on Que you hear her little feet on the wooded floor. “Well hello baby how did you sleep” “Good” she said in her sweet small voice. “That good baby” “Up mommy” she gave that puppy dog face and grabbing hands and you caved immediately. “You ready to see daddy, and all of your uncles” “DADDY” oh yea she was a big daddy’s girl. “Ok let me finish up dinner and then we will get ready to go” “I watch Belle” “Yes you can watch Belle while I finish” Beauty and the Beast is her favorite movie. On tonight's menu, your family was having fried chicken, mashed potatoes, corn, homemade biscuits, and your famous homemade cookies. As you finished packing up dinner for your family, you got Stella ready, and all bundled up then headed to the car.

You pulled into the school Stella squealed, Eddie was waiting by his van with a smile. “DADDY” you rolled down her window“My star how are you babygirl” “I good daddy” Eddie opened your door and helped you out of the car, then got Stella out and her “Hellfire backup” which has toys and things for coloring. You walked in hand in hand to the drama room and started to set up the table with the food. “Ooo what did make for us today love-” *gasp* “You made your cookies” “Yes the chocolate was finally in stock so I had to- hey hands off” “But I haven’t had your cookies in a month” “Nether has the others” “Yea but they could wait I got fiancé privileges” when you turned your back to grab the potatoes he “sneakily” grab a cookie but got caught by Stella “Daddy me cookie” “Sssh we will spit it” her little giggles fill your ears. Your favorite sound.

Soon the boys piled in “Y/N” “Stella” “cookies” were heard throughout the room. The boys lined up as you served them, then they all settled in, in their seats to start Eddie’s campaign. In this one-shot campaign, they had to save Eddie’s the banished's fair maiden, you, and their little princess, Stella. She was so excited to be in it, she even brought out her crown from her backpack and put it on. After she ate, she climbs into Eddie’s lap, her favorite spot, and “helped” Eddie with his visual aid. You watched your family, bellies full, big smiles even mike, after a hard week this was your reward, this was your happy place.

The night ended, the empty Tupperware put away, Stella fast asleep on Eddie’s lap. You walked out hand in hand with Eddie holding Stella, he covered her with her blanket when he stepped outside, then he put her into her car seat with a kiss on her forehead. You made sure each boy had a ride before heading to your car. You and Eddie stay until everyone was picked up. He turned to you and kissed your lips. “I missed you” “I been with you this whole time” “Yeah but you weren’t in my arms” you rolled your eyes and laughed at him “Your too cute” You kissed Eddie again then you got into your car. “I see you at home” “Yes, I’m just going to drop by Uncle Wayne’s really quick then I will be home” “Ok” then you kissed once more before you drove away.

You and Eddie lived in a little two bedroom next to the trailer park, so he would be a few minutes behind. You got Stella out of the car, did an amazing mom move holding her and the bags all while unlocking the door. You set the bags down then grabbed her pj’s put them on then tucked her in with a kiss. You went into the kitchen and started picking it up, getting the meat out for tomorrow's dinner and breakfast. Eddie and Stella loved Saturday mornings, you make a big breakfast, and they watched Saturday morning cartoons, you brought out extra knowing the freshman boys would probably come over. After about 15 minutes you hear Eddie’s van pull up, as you were finishing washing the dishes you feel Eddie’s arm wrap around your waist. “Oh, my love I haven’t since you in forever I almost don’t remember what your face looks like” Oh Eddie how you loved his antics you turned to play along but nothing came out. Eddie held a bouquet of flowers for you. “Eddie- I- Oh- Eddie-” he chuckled “My love” he started “ Will you accompany me on a date tomorrow night” “Oh Eddie, Stella and I would love to-” “As much as I love my Star tomorrow night will just be us” “But we don’t have a babysitter” “I already got that covered” you teared up even years later you are still touched over his love for you. “Well then yes, I will accompany you tomorrow night”

Eddie got his clothes ready to shower “So are you going to hop in with me” you looked at the time “It’s late so I will take you up on that but no funny business” “No promises” he said with a winked. After the shower you did your night routine and put on your Eddie shirt with some shorts, Eddie was just in a pair of boxers checking you out “You're so beautiful my love” “Oh stop I’m just in my pj’s” “And” *kiss* “still” *kiss* “beautiful” *kiss*. You climb into bed when arms open as Eddie jumps into bed with you, he settles in your arms with his head on your chest as your stork his hair. He tells you about his day and how that prick Jason picked on the hellfire club again, but how he did what you told him to do when he had the urge to punch his stupid face. But you were so proud of him that he controlled himself, he can’t have another fight so close to graduation. The topic then changes, and his words got lower and slower as did his breath. He got quiet for a minute, you thought he fell asleep nut he clears his throat he smiled and said “Let's have another”

——————

Wei Ying’s birthday was a quiet affair, different only in that Lan Wangji asked Hu-furen to cook some spicy foods and sau mein, providing a whole fish and whole chicken, along with other ingredients needed for a birthday meal.

Earlier in the day, they picked up the ordered clothing in the nearby town, keeping the shoes off for another trip to avoid the bad luck of shoes as a birthday gift, spent the day at the market, where Lan Wangji found a fur-lined hooded cape that would keep Wei Ying warm during their travels.

They returned to the farm to a beautifully cooked meal complete with sweet lotus paste shoutao Lan Wangji had purchased in town, hongdan, bai qie ji, whole steamed fish with scallions and shitake mushrooms, and tangyuan, along with millet and a variety of vegetable dishes—including tudou si to satisfy Wei Ying’s love of potatoes.

Though normally such a celebration was reserved for the elderly or very young, this was Wei Ying’s first birthday since his resurrection, and Lan Wangji was of the opinion that it deserved recognition by virtue of being miraculous. He simply told Hu-furen it was a milestone birthday and let it rest there, and she didn’t pry. The hongdan were her addition to the meal, serving in part as a birthday gift for Wei Ying from the Hu family, the eggs from the family chickens.

The dinner was a surprise for Wei Ying, who was delighted, but also a little withdrawn at odd moments, perhaps remembering past birthdays, with people long dead. The children presented him with drawings they made for him, some featuring the writing he had taught them, and that seemed to cheer him considerably.

In the weeks that followed, Wei Ying’s tolerance of any dog or puppy save Xiao Ta did not improve more than it already had, and the weather worsened. While Lan Wangji was unbothered aside from occasional issues with his scars, his core strong enough that the cold barely registered, Wei Ying struggled, burying himself in the blankets they’d purchased and burrowing against his side at night but still shivering. Even the new, warmer robes had a limited effect. The shed itself had no stove or fire, nor could it, and he eventually asked if Wei Ying would prefer they took a room at the inn in town for the rest of the winter, concerned the cold could lead to illness.

“I’ve never been good with the cold,” Wei Ying confessed. “But I had to make do with limited supplies during winters in Luanzang Gang—if we pick up some supplies in town, I should be able to make this space nice and cozy.”

Then he sneezed, and admitted a couple of nights in an inn would be welcome, as he would need time to put it all together.

When they let the Hu family know after breakfast the next morning, A-Ning insisted they take Xiao Ta with them so she could be warm at the inn, too, and Wei Ying caved quickly, tying the little creature to his chest in a sling and tucking her underneath his outer robes, so she would benefit from his body heat and be snug under his cape as well. Fortunately, the puppy no longer required as much care as she had in the first few weeks, no longer needing to be stimulated to eliminate her bladder or bowels, but she still needed regular feedings; though she could get some milk from her mother at times, she was just too much tinier than her siblings to compete. Her eyes were open now, and she was very curious and wriggly, communicating in soft puppy croons, but settled easily enough in the sling, the warmth and a full belly urging her to sleep.

Xiao Pingguo was significantly less enthused to be brought from the relative warmth of the barn, immediately trying to step on Wei Ying to express her discontent, only stopped by Lan Wangji’s quick reaction.

The trek itself wasn’t terribly unpleasant, quiet but for the wind and Wei Ying’s flute, Xiao Ta occasionally crooning along, until his hands were too cold to be outside of mittens and he tucked Chenqing away in favor of staying warm. So instead he talked the rest of the way, explaining his intended remedy for the cold, which hinged on buying six large blankets, sewing talismans for keeping cold out on one side of each, and talismans for giving off heat to the other side, to be hung from the ceiling, walls, and placed on the floor of their shed.

“Popo was delighted when I came up with them—said her old bones couldn’t handle the cold as well as they used to, and she had difficulty with arthritis anyway. I even made her some warm packs for the painful days.”

That explained how he was so confident with the Hu’s water bottle, which they had not brought with them, Lan Wangji realized, and thus would need to purchase something to keep Xiao Ta warm while they were in town. Likely Wei Ying would opt to stick to what worked and buy a new water bottle, but he was just as likely to try something experimental.

Wei Ying fell silent again, and Lan Wangji knew he was remembering the elderly woman whose blood corpse had come to protect him and Sizhui, likely facing a grief over a decade old but still fresh to him.

While the situation in Luanzang Gang had been difficult, in some ways the Wen remnants had been something of a family to him in the final years of his first life, and he could not fault him for such grief—he had so many to mourn. Lan Wangji wondered if perhaps they should at some point venture to Dafan Shan and visit the cenotaph with their remains, wondered if Wei Ying would want to burn joss for them, just in case any lingered and would appreciate such a gesture.

Lan Wangji, despite everything, had never truly learned to mourn, instead focusing on living his life doing the good that Wei Ying would have done, had he lived, and he did not know how to help him in his grief. He had found that grief was a profoundly personal thing at a young age with his mother’s death, but Wei Ying had experienced waves of loss—his parents, the Jiangs and Jiang disciples, the Wen remnants, his sister… If his own grief had been powerful enough to lead him to brand himself in a fit of mental anguish, seeking a physical pain that would rival it as well as a closeness with Wei Ying when he was gone, he didn’t know how the layers of loss affected Wei Ying.

They went to the market first, before even renting a room at the inn or boarding Xiao Pingguo at the stable, with the intent to stay in after taking advantage of the baths again and having dinner sent up. His new shoes were their first priority, followed by the components for Wei Ying’s project.

Wei Ying was particular about the blankets, not wanting anything too thin and discussing the construction with the shopkeepers, and even more particular about a large amount of cinnabar-dyed embroidery thread and a set of embroidery needles. They also purchased a basket, terrycloth, soft bedding, goat’s milk, and a water bottle for Xiao Ta’s comfort. Wei Ying discovered a shop selling little household items that had a crude but adorable little rabbit-shaped ceramic vessel with a spout as its mouth, meant for very young children and infants to suckle from.

“It might be more effective than the rags for Xiao Ta, even if it won’t be used long,” Wei Ying said, his voice distant.

The Hu family patriarch had mentioned she would start growing teeth in a few weeks, and while she could then be started on more solid foods, she was behind her siblings in growth, having been the last to open her eyes. The worry was how Wei Ying would react to her new teeth.

“And anyway, we can hang onto it after and add it to your bunny collection,” he added with a smile, as though the collection didn’t live in a qiankun pouch and wasn’t mostly added to by Wei Ying himself.

When they reached the inn, Wei Ying took their purchases up to room once Lan Wangji rented it for the night, eager to feed Xiao Ta, while he stabled Xiao Pingguo, leaving apples to the stableboy for her, with permission to have one as well. The youth’s surprised grin, briefly thrilled, as though they both didn’t know full well the boy would have had one regardless, reminded him oddly of Wei Ying. If he had not been found by Jiang Fengmian, might he have eventually been able to find such work and lived a normal mundane life, never to meet Lan Wangji but without the tragedies that he’d endured? An unsettling idea for reasons he can’t explain even to himself.

On his way to the room, he stopped the owner and arranged for their dinner be sent up, early but necessary for the half shichen needed between a meal and a bath, choosing several spicy dishes for Wei Ying as well as ones that would suit his own palate.

Lan Wangji found him sitting near a low table, holding Xiao Ta gently as she successfully suckled at the spout, grinning and practically humming with excitement.

“Lan Zhan, I think she‘ll be able to drink more this way, look!”

The Hus were concerned about whether the runtling was able to intake enough through the rag, always seeming more satiated when she was able to suckle from her mother, and Wei Ying had fretted about it, attached now to Xiao Ta in a way Lan Wangji suspected would never hold true for any other dog.

He also knew the big test would come when Xiao Ta’s teeth came in, as puppies could bite at that point on, and that Wei Ying was treating this task with the sort of seriousness he applied to things he cared about, sometimes testing himself by letting the little runt suckle and gum at his fingers, occasionally pulling them away when it became too much. Lan Wangji could see the fondness and protectiveness he displayed toward Xiao Ta, the sort one would give a baby animal, but she was a dog, and this was progress enough for him to have faith that Wei Ying could be ready when it came, and he would support the attempt regardless of the outcome.

The food was delivered as the puppy settled to take a short post-meal nap wrapped in one of several short bolts of soft terrycloth they’d bought at the market, along with tea for himself and wine for Wei Ying.

Wei Ying spoke through the meal, of course—Lan Wangji had long ago stopped expecting anything else, and Wei Ying never pressured him to speak—alighting on different points of interest, from characters to remember to teach the Hu family based on their time in the market, to his plans for the assorted supplies he had gotten. He intended to put the water bottle in the basket with soft bedding above, then the terrycloth with Xiao Ta, so any mess would be on the terrycloth, easily switched out and washed. The walls of the basket would still be high enough that she would have a challenge wriggling her way out if she woke while they were bathing.

“And the basket handle will make it easier to carry her while we travel,” Wei Ying chirped, then added, “back to the Hu farm, I mean.”

He wondered if the slip meant anything, if Wei Ying had started imagining the puppy with them on their travels. Lan Wangji wouldn’t mind it, of the opinion that Wei Ying should have everything he wanted in this life.

Wei Ying put his plans into motion after they finished their meal, though he occasionally picked at the remains as he worked, letting Xiao Ta wriggle around on the terrycloth, occasionally shifting her to a new direction when necessary or letting her nuzzle at his fingers in a sort of play. By the time the bed was ready, a replacement of the terrycloth was needed as well, and Lan Wangji set the soiled one aside to have cleaned with some of their laundry. Wei Ying settled Xiao Ta in her new bed, the pup worn out after eating and playing, and they gathered a change of clothing before heading to the baths.

The post-bath routine was similar to their last stay, Wei Ying permitting him to comb his hair with his own sandalwood-scented oils after the tangles frustrated him, but it was early yet.

With the aid of lighting talismans as daylight waned, Wei Ying showed Lan Wangji the talismans he had invented toward the end of his first life, in Luanzang Gang, to protect the elderly refugees from the cold in winter, deceptively simple and brilliant. On the side to face outside, a barrier to cold, while on the inside, a talisman that would radiate warmth, working in tandem to keep a space warm, something that could have many applications.

“It’d work on buildings if I modified it, but sometimes you don’t want to keep out cold or have a space be warm, though if I worked at it I could design those as well,” Wei Ying said when he asked. “They’re just kind of intricate and better on certain materials, which is why I was asking the shopkeeper all those questions about the blankets.”

Lan Wangji was not adept with talismans, having chosen to focus on musical cultivation instead, and so could only listen to Wei Ying and ask questions to gain understanding of his ideas, but that never seemed to bother his companion, who insisted that outside perspectives helped him think.

What threw him was the fact that Wei Ying intended to embroider the talismans on the blankets with the cinnabar embroidery thread, not because he didn’t know it was possible—the Lan clan robes were embroidered with protective enchantments—but because he hadn’t known embroidery was one of Wei Ying’s skills.

When he said as much, Wei Ying laughed and explained that Jiang Yanli taught him, long ago when he was recovering from an injury and bored, to try to help pass the days until he had healed, his voice tinged with nostalgia. Though he hadn’t used it much except for mending his clothing, he had taken it up again while exiled in Luanzang Gang with the Wen remnants, using it to help with his research and inventions mostly, though Popo had given him clothing to embroider when Wen Qing insisted he take a rest.

For the moment, the memories did not seem to cause him pain, and Lan Wangji was content to listen to him ramble, watching him deftly thread the needle and start on the first talisman, about how the medium had not worked well with the Zhao Yinqi, and so he had determined that paint or blood was more effective for more complex talismans, though embroidery gave more permanence.

Lan Wangji let Wei Ying’s voice wash over him as he composed a letter to Lan Xichen to update him on his travels, pausing to ask questions at times. A letter from his brother had been left in place of the remnants of dinner. When they decided to stay in the area for a time, he had let his brother know to send correspondence to the inn. Unsurprisingly, he had also sent a pouch of tael to spend on their journey, which he had to admit was welcome after having purchased a small wardrobe for Wei Ying.

He transferred the contents of the pouch to his purse, still the one that had held herbs from Luo Qingyang all those years ago in the Xuanwu cave, which he had jealously stolen. Perfume sachets were courting gifts, and there had been a possessive part of him that had made him act then. Lan Wangji had tempered that tendency over the years Wei Ying was gone, but he still kept the purse.

Wei Ying was focused on his embroidery, and Lan Wangji could see characters meant to keep cold out on the talisman he was working on, privately awed by his ingenuity. Many mundane people, especially those of few means such as farmers, would benefit greatly from such an invention, as there were often deaths during cold snaps, those unfortunate who could not keep warm enough. Were these talismans, even paper that could be adhered to walls, produced for the masses, it would save lives and add comfort to many more.

“The talismans use ambient resentful energy, so they worked pretty well in Luanzang Gang; I’m sure they’ll work just as well outside, and prevent local problems since they siphon off resentment.”

His fingers, deftly handling the needle, paused.

“I’m sure I could rework the talismans to use ambient spiritual energy, though.”

Wei Ying wasn’t quite looking at him, and Lan Wangji realized with a pang that he was expecting condemnation, something he had so often given him without meaning to in his previous life.

“No need,” he said after a moment. “Wei Ying’s ideas are sound.”

His ideas were of course unorthodox, but Lan Wangji had decided through painstaking reflection in the years of Wei Ying’s death that wasn’t necessarily a bad thing—were not multiple sects shamelessly using his inventions because they were brilliant and useful, even as they condemned him for having created them? If these siphoned resentment and transformed it, how could they be bad? He didn’t know how to say these things, knowing there was no use in his years of regret with Wei Ying sitting here in the warmth of the inn with him.

“Aiya, Lan Zhan, you really are too much sometimes,” Wei Ying finally said after a moment, returning to his embroidery.

But he seemed more settled than he had before, more at ease as he worked.

Wei Ying worked quickly, pausing only to give Xiao Ta more milk when she woke and started whimpering, but he paused and stretched once the pup was asleep again, blinking ruefully at the lighting talismans that were no longer enough light, clearly in need of a break.

“The night market?” Lan Wangji suggested.

The town was small and winter meant the night market was even smaller than it normally was, but it was a distraction he was certain Wei Ying would appreciate.

He brought out the package of new shoes for Wei Ying, both slippers to be used for indoors, which he didn’t have, and boots for traveling, as Wei Ying’s were worn out. Wei Ying laughed quietly at some unknown amusement as he changed into the boots.

“They’ll take some time to break in properly, but they fit well, so hopefully they won’t cause sore feet,” Wei Ying said once he had them on.

As they left the inn, Xiao Ta in her basket in tow,he launched into a short tale how the first shoes Jiang Fengmian had gotten him had been too big and he worried about being a bother despite his sore feet, so Jiang Yanli had ensured his shoes fit once she discovered it and thereafter.

“My feet were smaller than Jiang Cheng’s, and he’d assumed we were the same size because we were the same age,” Wei Ying finished.

The memory seemed as though it was positive to Wei Ying, but all Lan Wangji could wonder was how a man with children could possibly make that assumption, and what shopkeeper would allow him to put ill-fitting shoes on a child. So many of his memories seemed tinged by neglect.

“Mn,” he settled on, not quite sure how to reply.

“Shijie sorted it out in the end,” Wei Ying said softly. “She was the best.”

Lan Wangj knew the flavors of Wei Ying’s grief, knew her death had broken him at Buyetian Cheng, knew he had unfairly burdened him at the end of his first life with his inappropriate feelings, only adding the the maelstrom that led to the First Siege of Luanzang Gang. To so much more of his grief. He had resolved to never burden him so again.

The night market consisted of booths of street food and low-level luxury goods like lanterns or small paintings, nothing so big as a larger town would host, but vibrant in its own way. Wei Ying managed to find two handmade bunny masks, one black and one white, and Lan Wangji immediately drew out his money pouch to pay for them—for although his zhiji was the one to add to their collection, he was happy to enable him.

After he ensured Wei Ying had some warming snacks from the market, in particular a large bag of tang chao lizi and another of dong shizi, they returned to the warmth of the inn. The dong shizi he used a stasis talisman on, one he had apparently invented in Luanzang Gang to preserve food, to keep them fresh.

Xiao Ta was hungry again, and suckled easily from rabbit vessel, and while she sated herself Wei Ying worked further on his talisman embroidery. Lan Wangji took over her care, petting and allowing her to wrestle with his hand, to allow him to work. It was wonderfully domestic, uplifting that he could be with Wei Ying in this capacity.

Before long the puppy was asleep and tucked into her basket. Lan Wangji waited until Wei Ying finished a part of the talisman, the light too low and the hour past hai shi, before gently bullying him to ready for sleep, reluctantly taking the other bed himself. He knew his zhiji would likely be restless before settling, but he tried to help him avoid staying up all night working on projects. He fully expected Wei Ying would get back up and eat some of the snacks from the market and drink the wine Lan Wangji had set out for him from the innkeeper’s stock, but he expected having access to an actual bed to be something of a luxury, one he should enjoy.

“See you tomorrow, Lan Zhan,” followed him into sleep.

Instead, Lan Wangji woke long before mao shi, confused momentarily as to why until he realized across the room Wei Ying was thrashing in his sleep, his breath like choked-off screams, in the throes of a nightmare.

Wei Ying woke when he called out to him, sitting up panting in the bed, and Lan Wangji rushed to his side.

“Just—Just a nightmare,” Wei Ying murmured, clearly trying to dismiss it. “I wish it hadn’t woken you.”

Lan Wangji had never known him to have nightmares, but when he said so, Wei Ying laughed hollowly.

“It’s better when we share a bed, but I need to get used to them; you’ll need to return to Gusu eventually, and I know you don’t like touch. You’ve been very tolerant of me.”

Cosleeping had helped, and yet Wei Ying felt he was a burden while Lan Wangji had felt selfish for enjoying it secretly.

“It is no burden, not with you,” he murmured.

Wei Ying looked up at him, his expression captivatingly his even on a different face, his essence in a new form, and Lan Wangji didn’t want to look away. He struggled for words, his words so often having the opposite his intended impact.

“Were it my decision, I would not be separated from you again,” he managed after a moment. “I am selfish in this.”

“You said…” Wei Ying started, then broke off as though trying to find the words. “When you drank, when you told me you like rabbits, you said you had regrets. I don’t want you to feel obligated to me for anything. You don’t owe me anything from the past, Lan Zhan.”

“The past is past,” Lan Wangji said slowly. “The present is now. I know what it is to be without you, and I wish to be with you.”

There was a long and pregnant pause, Wei Ying looking up at him, so much shorter now, his eyes shimmering in the sparse light of the moon coming in from the closed shutters.

“Lan Zhan… I might get the wrong idea.”

Lan Wangji shook his head, a bit confused by what the wrong idea could be, aside from…

“I would not burden you again.”

Wei Ying tilted his head, his expression concerned.

“Burden me? Lan Zhan, when did you burden me?”

Did he not recall? Lan Wangji was hesitant to remind him, but he seemed so earnestly confused. And he had made a vow to himself to stay by Wei Ying’s side in all things, something dishonesty by omission didn’t allow.

“After Buyetian Cheng, when I returned you to Luanzang Gang…”

“After?” Wei Ying interrupted. “You’re how I got back to Luanzang Gang? Lan Zhan, I don’t remember anything from that time—is that why you were punished?”

He reached forward as though to touch his shoulder, where a particularly viscious lash had sliced the flesh and scarred over.

Lan Wangji’s world spun a little—he’d assumed Wei Ying knew, that it had been only another weight that had carried him to his death. Hope stirred.

“Lan Zhan, nothing you could say would be a burden to me,” Wei Ying said, finally gripping his arm. “Nothing.”

With Wei Ying’s touch, Lan Wangji felt emboldened, and the words spilled out.

“I love you. I have loved you since our blades crossed under the moon at Yunshen Buzhichu, when we first met.”

Wei Ying let out an indecipherable noise, and Lan Wangji braced himself.

“All that time?” he whispered. “I thought you hated me.”

His breath came out in a rush. Too many had believed that, but it had never been true, and it rankled him that Wei Ying believed it. Perhaps that was the real burden he had carried to his death, and Lan Wangji would need to be better with his words in the future.

But Wei Ying didn’t seem bothered by his confession.

“Never. Could never hate Wei Ying. I… have difficulty with words. But I have always felt thus.”

Before he could react, Wei Ying threw himself into his lap, clinging to him like a limpet.

“Lan Zhan! You’re really great. I like you, or in other words, I fancy you, I love you, I want you, I can’t leave you, I whatever you. I want to night-hunt with you for the rest of my life. I don’t want anyone but you—it can’t be anyone but you—”

Lan Wangji could only helplessly repeat the sentiments, too overwhelmed to find words himself, though he allowed himself to indulge in tipping Wei Ying’s face up for kisses between them. He had kissed him once, long ago, in a dark moment, but this was reciprocated and made his heart sing.

Before long, he pressed Wei Ying against the mattress and they were otherwise occupied for some time.

He would wake past mao shi, tangled with Wei Ying, filled with joy at what the future could now bring.

It would take several days for Wei Ying to finish his project, as distracted as they too easily became, and for the rest of the winter they spent the days helping at the Hu farm and teaching the family, and the nights passionately learning each other, snug in the shed with Wei Ying’s ingenious talismans.

Spring would find them headed to Yunmeng, a gifted (though Lan Wangji left some tael in exchange) Xiao Ta sometimes snuggled in a saddlebag on Xiao Pingguo, sometimes prancing around following her. She was intended as a gift for Jiang Wanyin, Wei Ying hoping to draw him out of seclusion and mend their relationship with the gift of the only dog he wasn’t afraid of.

And if they completed their bows along the way, that was just one more thing for Lan Wangji to appreciate, making Wei Ying officially his husband.

How Does Dog Food Affect My Dog’s Behavior?

Ever wonder why your pup sometimes acts hyper, sluggish, or just plain moody? The answer might be hiding in their dog food! Just like in humans, what dogs eat plays a major role in their energy levels, mood, and overall behavior. Let's dig into how diet impacts your furry friend’s personality and well-being.

The Link Between Dog Food and Behavior

Your dog’s meals are more than just fuel—they directly impact their brain function and energy levels. Poor-quality dog food with artificial additives, fillers, and unhealthy ingredients can lead to mood swings, anxiety, and even hyperactivity. On the other hand, high-quality healthy dog food keeps them happy, energetic, and focused.

Key Nutrients That Influence Behavior

To keep your dog feeling their best, make sure their food for dogs includes these important nutrients:

1. Protein – The Energy Booster

Protein plays a huge role in energy levels and muscle health. Best dog food options contain high-quality proteins like fish, chicken, or lamb to maintain steady energy and avoid crashes.

2. Goat Milk for Dogs – Gut Health & Calmness

Ever heard of goat milk for dogs? It’s packed with probiotics that support digestion and promote a balanced gut microbiome. A healthy gut can help reduce anxiety and mood swings in dogs.

3. Probiotics for Dogs – Mental and Gut Health

A happy gut equals a happy pup! Probiotics for dogs improve digestion and even influence serotonin levels, which regulate mood and stress levels.

4. Healthy Fats – Brain Power & Focus

Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, found in fish and flaxseed, are crucial for cognitive function and focus. If your dog struggles with attention or seems easily distracted, adding these to their diet can make a big difference.

5. Carbohydrates – The Right Kind Matters

Simple carbs (like those found in low-quality kibble) can lead to energy spikes and crashes, making your pup go from zoomies to nap time in minutes. Instead, opt for best fresh dog food that includes slow-digesting carbs like sweet potatoes and brown rice.

How Different Types of Dog Food Impact Behavior

Wet Dog Food vs. Dry Dog Food

Some dogs prefer wet dog food, which is easier to digest and may lead to better hydration. Others do well on dry dog food, which helps with dental health but can sometimes contain more fillers. The key is choosing high-quality ingredients!

Senior Dog Food for Aging Pups

Older dogs need special nutrients to support brain function. Look for senior dog food rich in antioxidants, Omega-3s, and vitamins to keep them sharp and alert.

Raw Dog Food and Homemade Dog Food

Some pet parents swear by raw dog food or homemade dog food, as they allow complete control over ingredients. Just ensure meals are balanced with the right nutrients!

Signs Your Dog’s Food Might Be Affecting Their Mood

Hyperactivity after meals (caused by artificial additives or sugar)

Low energy or sluggishness (linked to low-quality proteins or excessive fillers)

Anxiety or restlessness (lack of proper fats or probiotics)

Sudden aggression or irritability (possible food allergies or intolerances)

Making the Right Choice

If you’re shopping for dog food online, always check the ingredient list. Choose dog food for allergies if your pup has sensitivities, or diet dog food if they need a weight-friendly option. Also, don’t forget healthy dog treats and natural dog treats to reward good behavior without unnecessary additives.

Final Thoughts

Your dog’s behavior is directly connected to what’s in their bowl. Choosing the best dog food packed with quality ingredients like goat milk for dogs, probiotics for dogs, and whole proteins can make a huge difference. Pay attention to what fuels your pup and watch them thrive—both physically and mentally!

What to Feed Your Pet: Tailoring Nutrition for Pet Optimal Health

Proper nutrition is the foundation of your pet’s overall well-being. Just like humans, pets require a balanced diet tailored to their specific needs to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Whether you have a dog, cat, or any other pet, feeding them the right nutrients is essential for pet optimal health. If you’re searching for expert guidance, the best veterinary hospital in Hyderabad can provide personalized diet recommendations to keep your furry friend in top shape.

Understanding Your Pet’s Nutritional Needs

Every pet is unique, and their dietary requirements vary based on factors such as age, breed, activity level, and existing health conditions. The right balance of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals is crucial to ensure their overall health and longevity.

1. Protein: The Building Block of Health

Protein is essential for muscle development, tissue repair, and overall growth. Dogs and cats thrive on high-quality animal proteins such as chicken, fish, turkey, and beef. For pets with allergies, alternatives like lentils and chickpeas can be beneficial.

2. Healthy Fats: Supporting Energy and Coat Health

Fats provide a concentrated source of energy and help maintain healthy skin and a shiny coat. Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, found in fish oil, flaxseed, and chicken fat, are vital for heart health and cognitive function.

3. Carbohydrates: The Right Amount for Sustained Energy

While cats require minimal carbohydrates, dogs can benefit from complex carbs like sweet potatoes, brown rice, and vegetables, which offer essential fiber for digestion.

4. Vitamins and Minerals: Enhancing Immunity and Vital Functions

Vitamins and minerals play a crucial role in strengthening the immune system and preventing diseases. Ensure your pet’s diet includes calcium (for bone strength), vitamin A (for vision and skin health), and antioxidants (for immune support).

Age-Appropriate Nutrition

Puppies & Kittens: Nutrient-Dense Diets for Growth

Young pets require high-calorie, protein-rich food to support rapid growth and development. Choose specially formulated puppy and kitten food to meet their nutritional needs.

Adult Pets: Balanced Diet for Maintenance

Adult pets need a well-balanced diet with controlled portions to maintain a healthy weight and active lifestyle. Consult veterinary hospitals in Hyderabad to tailor their diet according to specific needs.

Senior Pets: Supporting Aging and Mobility

Older pets require diets rich in joint-supporting nutrients like glucosamine and chondroitin, along with easily digestible proteins and lower fat content to maintain optimal weight.

Special Diets for Pets with Health Conditions

Some pets may require customized diets due to medical conditions like obesity, diabetes, kidney disease, or allergies. Veterinary professionals at the best veterinary hospital in Hyderabad can assess your pet’s health and recommend specialized food to manage their condition effectively.

Choosing the Right Pet Food: Homemade vs. Commercial Diets

Both homemade and commercial pet food options have their advantages. While homemade diets offer control over ingredients, they must be well-balanced and vet-approved. High-quality commercial pet foods, on the other hand, undergo rigorous testing to meet nutritional standards. Always consult a vet before making significant dietary changes.

Hydration: The Key to Pet Optimal Health

Water is just as important as food. Ensure your pet has access to fresh, clean water at all times to support digestion, temperature regulation, and organ function.

Essential Nutritional Tips for Different Pets

Dogs:

Ensure a protein-rich diet with balanced fats and carbohydrates.

Avoid toxic foods such as chocolate, grapes, onions, and xylitol.

Provide fresh water and regular meal portions to maintain healthy weight.

Cats:

Opt for high-protein and low-carbohydrate meals.

Ensure adequate taurine intake, essential for eye and heart health.

Best Food for German Shepherd Puppies

Best Food for German Shepherd Puppies: What You Need to Know

Raising a German Shepherd puppy comes with plenty of joys and responsibilities. From playtime to training, every moment is precious. But one of the most important aspects of your puppy’s development is proper nutrition. Food plays a vital role in their health, growth, and overall well-being. This guide will help you understand what to look for in the best food for your German Shepherd puppy, without recommending specific brands or products.

Why Nutrition Matters for German Shepherd Puppies German Shepherds are a large and active breed, known for their intelligence, loyalty, and working capabilities. This makes their nutritional needs quite specific. The right food helps with muscle development, joint health, cognitive function, and overall energy levels.

Puppies are in a crucial phase of development, and their nutritional needs differ from those of adult dogs. They require a diet that supports their rapid growth while maintaining their health. Choosing the right food is essential for avoiding issues like obesity, joint problems, and digestive issues later in life.

Key Nutrients for a German Shepherd Puppy To ensure your puppy gets all the necessary nutrients, you need to focus on a balanced diet. Look for food that contains:

Protein Protein is the building block for muscle and tissue development. German Shepherd puppies need high-quality protein to support their rapid growth. Protein helps in the formation of muscles, skin, and coat. It also supports a healthy immune system. Sources of protein should ideally come from animal-based ingredients, such as chicken, beef, or lamb.

Fats Healthy fats are crucial for your puppy’s energy and coat condition. Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids are particularly important for brain development and joint health. They also contribute to a shiny, healthy coat. Look for foods that include fish oils, flaxseed, or chicken fat as part of their fat content.

Carbohydrates While protein and fats are the main energy sources, carbohydrates are also important. Carbs from whole grains, sweet potatoes, and vegetables provide a steady supply of energy. They help in maintaining a balanced weight, supporting digestion, and keeping blood sugar levels stable.

Vitamins and Minerals German Shepherd puppies need a range of vitamins and minerals to support their growth. Calcium and phosphorus are especially important for the development of strong bones and teeth. Too much calcium can lead to bone problems, so it’s essential that the food is appropriately balanced for a growing puppy.

Other essential vitamins include:

Vitamin A for vision and immune system support Vitamin D for calcium absorption Vitamin E for healthy skin and coat B vitamins for energy and brain development

Fiber Fiber aids in digestion, helping your puppy maintain healthy bowel movements. It also supports overall gut health, which can prevent issues like constipation or diarrhea. Ingredients like beet pulp, pumpkin, and brown rice are excellent sources of fibre for German Shepherd puppies.

Things to Avoid in Puppy Food While it's important to focus on what to include in your puppy's diet, it’s just as crucial to be aware of what to avoid. Here are some ingredients that should not make their way into your German Shepherd puppy’s food:

By-products and fillers: Avoid foods that list by-products, such as "chicken by-product meal" or "corn gluten meal," as primary ingredients. These are lower-quality ingredients that don't provide the same nutritional benefits as whole meats and grains.

Artificial additives: Preservatives, food colourings, and artificial flavours have no nutritional value and can be harmful over time. Look for foods that use natural preservatives like vitamin E or rosemary extract.

Excessive grains: While some grains are beneficial, too much can lead to digestive issues. German Shepherd puppies may not be able to process high amounts of grain, so a balanced food with moderate grains, like brown rice or oats, is ideal.

Sugar: Excess sugar in your puppy’s food can contribute to obesity and other health problems. Avoid foods with added sugars or high levels of sweeteners.

How Much Should You Feed a German Shepherd Puppy? The amount of food you should feed your German Shepherd puppy depends on several factors, such as their age, size, activity level, and metabolism. Generally, a German Shepherd puppy will need to eat more than an adult dog to support their growth and high energy levels.

Puppies tend to eat multiple smaller meals throughout the day. When your puppy is younger (under 6 months), aim for 3 to 4 meals per day. As they approach their first birthday, you can reduce this to 2 meals per day.

Be sure to check your puppy’s weight regularly and adjust their food intake accordingly. If they are gaining too much weight, you may need to reduce their portions. If they are losing weight or seem overly tired, you may need to increase their food intake.

Feeding Schedule Establishing a regular feeding schedule is just as important as choosing the right food. A set routine helps regulate your puppy’s digestion and can reduce the risk of obesity. Always feed your German Shepherd puppy at the same time every day, and avoid leaving food out all day. This helps in portion control and prevents overeating.

Transitioning to Adult Food At around 12 months, your German Shepherd puppy will be ready to transition to adult dog food. Switching too early can lead to nutritional imbalances. Gradually introduce adult food by mixing it with the puppy food over the course of a week or two. This will allow your puppy’s digestive system to adjust without causing any stomach upset.

Monitoring Growth and Health You should monitor your German Shepherd’s growth and health regularly. A healthy German Shepherd puppy should have a lean, muscular build with a healthy coat and clear eyes. If you notice any signs of sluggishness, digestive upset, or skin issues, you may need to adjust their food or consult with a vet.

Working with Your Vet Your veterinarian is a great resource when it comes to understanding the best diet for your German Shepherd puppy. They can offer specific recommendations based on your puppy’s unique needs, health conditions, and growth stage. Regular check-ups with your vet will help you stay on top of any potential dietary concerns.

Conclusion Feeding your German Shepherd puppy the right food is key to supporting their growth, development, and long-term health. By focusing on high-quality proteins, healthy fats, appropriate carbohydrates, and a balanced blend of vitamins and minerals, you’ll be setting your puppy up for a lifetime of vitality. Take time to research, choose carefully, and work with your vet to ensure your German Shepherd gets the best start in life.

“We’ll take care of you.”

Lee Everett x Sick!Pip and Clementine.

Synopsis: basically, I’m sick, so I made a lil story where Lee takes care of his wife and lil Clem helps!

MODERN AU.

Warnings: none.

Lee had just gotten off of work absolutely exhausted and ready to finally get home and have a relaxing day with his family.

But as he walked through the door he smelled something disgusting, the man slowly entered to see his daughter stirring something in a pot on the stove.

“Uh…what’s that smell?”

Clementine turned around taking the spoon out of the pot. The little girl smiled, “Soup! Pip’s sick, so I decided I’d make her soup!”

“Right…what did you put in the soup?” The man asked walking over to look in the pot.

Clem thought for a moment, “Uhm…mashed potatoes…water, gravy, uh…DayQuil and NyQuil, broccoli and carrots…milk…more medicine I forgot the name of…”

Lee was quick to lift her off the stool she was standing on to turn off the stove. “You’re not making soup anymore.”

“What? Why?” Clem frowned looking up at him with her big puppy dog eyes.

“I can’t lie to you, Clem. It smells awful, how ‘bout this, we go see how Pip’s going and then we make soup for her together.”

Clem thought for a moment, “Okay. Yeah, let’s go see her she’s been in a bad mood all morning!”

The girl grabbed his hand dragging him toward his shared room with Pip, the woman snuggled up in her covers groaning in pain.

“Hey, hon, I’m home,” Lee said knocking softly on the door.

The woman lightly lifted her head before quickly turning away to cough, “Hi…sorry about the mess…”

There were garbage bags full of food and issues surrounding her side of the bed. Clem frowned, “do you need more tissues?” The little girl held up the box.

“There’s…” Pip turned to sneeze, “There’s a box of tissues right next to me, lil lady.”

Clem thought for a moment, “Well…take more!” She said tossing the box of tissues next to her.

“I tried making soup, but Lee stopped me.”

Lee chuckled, “It smelled awful.”

“I was wondering what the smell was, too lazy to get out of bed though.” Pip shook her head.

“Lee said that he’d help me make better soup!” Clem jumped up and down.

“I did, I did, do you want soup, hon? Or is there anything else you’d like?”

The woman smiled at the thought of soup, “I’d love soup right now…can you add chicken please?”

“Chicken noodle soup coming right up! Let’s go, Lee! We have to make her better!” Clem grabbed onto Lee’s hand dragging him to the kitchen.

“We’ll be back with your soup!”

The duo got to the kitchen and Clem began grabbing out ingredients, such as mashed potatoes, NyQuil, and DayQuil…maybe Lee should stop her.

“That’s not how we make soup, sweet pea.” The man chuckled putting the mashed potatoes back into the pantry.

Lee took out olive oil, carrots, minced garlic, chicken broth, shredded chicken breast, noodles and seasonings.

After a while, Clem had a spoon and scooped up a spoonful. “Mmm! Okay, this is so much better than what I tried to make, but it’s missing one thing.”

The little girl grabbed the medicine and began unscrewing the caps. “Oh no you don’t.” Lee quickly took the medicine.

“But how is she supposed to get better without medicine?”

“She can take medicine after her soup.”

Lee grabbed out a bowl and scooped a nice amount into it before grabbing a spoon and heading toward his and Pip’s shared room.

“Awe…thank you guys!”

“Of course!” Clem smiled.

“Is she wearing my apron?” The woman raised a brow pointing at the little girl who was wearing an apron that honestly looked like a dress on her.

“No…”

The girl quickly took off the apron putting it by the closet. Pip giggled shaking her head, “It’s okay…ugh…thank you guys so much.” She said grabbing the soup from Lee's hands.

“Mmm! This is so good!”

“I still think I’d be better with the DayQuil because it’d make you feel better but whatever.” Clem rolled her eyes.

“Tastes perfectly fine, lil lady.”

“Gosh, I don’t know how to repay you guys…” Pip ate the soup.

Lee wrapped his arms around her causing Clem to do the same, “You don’t have to, you’re the sick one, don’t worry. We’ll take care of you.”

“Awe…guys…get off me you guys are gonna get sick too.”

“We’re not gonna get sick from hugging you.” Clem pouted.

“Say that now, but I better not hear you guys complaining about a sore throat next week.”

***

Soon enough next week came and Pip was all better, but who was sick you ask?

“Get the soup!” Clem shouted from her room.

“Don’t add medicine!” Lee yelled.

“I’ll take care of you guys. Don’t worry.”

Antioxidants: To support the immune system.

Shih Tzu:

Small Breed Considerations: Shih Tzus are small dogs with lower energy requirements. Avoid overfeeding, as obesity can lead to various health problems in small breeds.

Dental Health: Shih Tzus are prone to dental issues. Choose Shih Tzu foods that help promote dental health, such as dry kibble or dental chews.

Sensitive Stomachs: Some Shih Tzus have sensitive stomachs. Look for foods with easily digestible ingredients like chicken, rice, and sweet potatoes.

Key Nutrients:

High-Quality Protein: Essential for overall health and muscle development.

Fiber: Helps maintain healthy digestion.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Promote healthy skin and coat.

Antioxidants: Support the immune system.

Important Considerations:

Age: Dietary needs change as dogs age. Puppies, adults, and seniors have different nutritional requirements.

Health Conditions: Consult your veterinarian for specific dietary recommendations if your dog has any health issues.

Palatability: Choose a food that your dog enjoys eating.

Conclusion

Remember, these are general guidelines. The best way to determine the optimal diet for your German Shepherd or Shih Tzu is to consult with your veterinarian. They can assess your dog's individual needs and recommend the most appropriate food to support their health and well-being.

Food to feed dog

Feeding your dog the right food is essential to their overall health and well-being. Whether you have a puppy, an adult dog, or a senior dog, their dietary needs vary depending on their age, size, activity level, and health. Choosing the right food can make a significant difference in their energy levels, coat condition, digestive health, and longevity.

In this guide, we’ll explore different types of dog food, essential nutrients to look for, and popular options for feeding your dog.

1. Types of Dog Food

There are various types of dog food on the market, each catering to different dietary needs. The main types include:

a. Dry Dog Food (Kibble)

Dry dog food, or kibble, is one of the most popular and convenient types of dog food. It's cost-effective, easy to store, and helps with dental health as chewing kibble can reduce plaque buildup. High-quality kibble will contain a balance of protein, fats, carbohydrates, and fiber.

Advantages: Convenient, helps keep teeth clean, can be mixed with wet food.

Disadvantages: Some lower-quality brands may include fillers and artificial additives.

What to Look For: Look for kibble with high-quality animal protein (like chicken, beef, or lamb) as the first ingredient and avoid fillers like corn, wheat, or soy.

b. Wet Dog Food (Canned)

Wet dog food is typically higher in moisture content, which can help dogs stay hydrated. It’s often more palatable for dogs, particularly those with dental issues, older dogs, or dogs with poor appetites.

Advantages: High in moisture, generally more appetizing for dogs, great for picky eaters.

Disadvantages: More expensive, less convenient for storage, may contribute to dental issues if not paired with dry food.

What to Look For: Ensure the primary ingredient is a high-quality protein, and check for minimal artificial preservatives.

c. Raw Dog Food (BARF Diet)

The BARF (Biologically Appropriate Raw Food) diet involves feeding raw meats, bones, fruits, and vegetables. Some pet owners prefer raw feeding because they believe it mirrors a dog’s natural diet in the wild. However, this diet requires careful preparation to ensure nutritional balance and safety.

Advantages: Natural ingredients, high moisture content, promotes healthy coats.

Disadvantages: Requires careful preparation, potential for bacterial contamination, more expensive.

What to Look For: If feeding raw, ensure the food is balanced and supplemented with the necessary vitamins and minerals.

d. Freeze-Dried or Dehydrated Dog Food

Freeze-dried or dehydrated dog food is made by removing moisture to preserve the food while maintaining its nutritional content. This food is typically more expensive than kibble but can be more nutritious and convenient than raw feeding.

Advantages: High in nutrients, convenient for storage, minimal processing.

Disadvantages: More expensive, requires water to rehydrate, some dogs may find it harder to chew.

What to Look For: Look for products with high-quality animal proteins and minimal additives or preservatives.

2. Essential Nutrients in Dog Food

When selecting dog food, it’s important to ensure that it provides the proper balance of nutrients. A high-quality dog food should contain:

Protein: Dogs require protein to build muscle, maintain tissue, and produce energy. Look for animal-based protein sources like chicken, beef, turkey, or lamb.

Fats: Healthy fats are essential for energy, skin, coat health, and brain function. Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, often sourced from fish or flaxseed, help with inflammation and joint health.

Carbohydrates: Carbs are a good source of energy and fiber. Whole grains like brown rice, oats, and barley, or vegetables like sweet potatoes, are great choices for digestible carbs.

Vitamins and Minerals: Dogs need a variety of vitamins and minerals to maintain their health, such as calcium for bones, Vitamin A for vision, and Vitamin D for immune health.

Fiber: Fiber aids in digestion and helps regulate bowel movements. Sources like pumpkin, sweet potato, and beet pulp are often used in dog food.

3. Choosing the Best Dog Food Based on Your Dog’s Life Stage

The best food for your dog will depend on their age, size, and specific needs.

a. Puppy Food

Puppies have higher energy needs and require more protein, fat, and calories to support their rapid growth. Puppy food is designed to promote healthy development of bones, muscles, and the immune system. Look for food that is specifically formulated for puppies and has balanced nutrients.

Protein: High in animal protein for muscle growth.

Fat: Higher fat content to support energy needs.

Calcium and Phosphorus: Important for bone growth.

b. Adult Dog Food

Adult dogs no longer require the high energy levels of puppies but still need balanced nutrition. The food should maintain muscle mass, provide energy for activity, and help maintain a healthy weight.

Protein: Moderate levels of protein to maintain muscle health.

Fat: Balanced levels of fat to support energy.

Fiber: Aids in digestion and helps with weight management.

c. Senior Dog Food

Senior dogs may have lower energy levels and slower metabolisms. They often require foods that are lower in calories and higher in fiber to help with weight management and digestive health. Additionally, senior dog foods may contain joint-supporting ingredients like glucosamine and chondroitin.

Protein: Moderate protein to maintain muscle mass without overburdening the kidneys.

Fat: Lower fat to manage weight.

Joint Support: Ingredients like glucosamine and omega fatty acids help with arthritis and joint health.

d. Food for Dogs with Special Needs

Some dogs may require special food for medical conditions like allergies, obesity, diabetes, or kidney disease. Veterinary diets are formulated to meet specific health requirements, and your veterinarian can help guide you in selecting the right one.

4. Popular Dog Food Brands

Several trusted dog food brands are known for providing high-quality products. Some of the most reputable brands include:

Hill’s Science Diet: Known for offering scientifically-formulated food tailored to your dog’s age, size, and specific health needs.

Royal Canin: Offers breed-specific and condition-specific foods for dogs with special dietary needs.

Orijen: Known for high-protein, biologically appropriate foods made with fresh, regional ingredients.

Blue Buffalo: Offers natural dog food with high-quality ingredients and a variety of formulas for different life stages.

Wellness: Known for providing nutritious, high-quality food that focuses on natural ingredients.

5. Homemade Dog Food

Some pet owners prefer to cook for their dogs. If you choose to make homemade dog food, it’s important to ensure that you’re providing a balanced diet. Consulting with a veterinarian or a pet nutritionist is recommended to ensure your dog’s nutritional needs are being met. Some common ingredients in homemade dog food include:

Protein: Chicken, beef, turkey, fish, or lamb.

Carbohydrates: Brown rice, sweet potatoes, quinoa.

Vegetables: Carrots, peas, spinach, and pumpkin.

Supplements: Necessary vitamins and minerals, such as calcium or fish oil for omega-3 fatty acids.

Conclusion: Feeding Your Dog for Health and Longevity

Choosing the right food for your dog is vital for their overall health and happiness. The food you feed them should provide a balanced mix of nutrients tailored to their age, size, and specific health needs. Whether you choose dry food, wet food, raw food, or homemade meals, make sure it meets your dog’s nutritional requirements and keep their health in mind. Always consult with your veterinarian before making any significant changes to your dog’s diet to ensure they’re receiving the best possible care and nutrition.

With the right food, your dog will have the energy, health, and vitality to lead a happy life by your side!
