TENDER FLESH For @jilymicrofics July 2023. Prompts: tender and icy. Words: 363. Rating: M.

Ok-ok-ok-ok-ok. So, as this month’s @jilymicrofics prompts were chosen by @athenasparrow, I thought what better opportunity to get some smut-writing practice in? (For future chapters of BTDATS 😏) With this logic, I’ve challenged myself to write a promoted microfic every day this month. Day 1: it’s not active smut (apologies, we’ll get there) but it is...mentioned?

Lily groaned. Rolled over. Morning was bleeding through the curtained windows, and the small alarm clock denoted seven o’clock. She sat up and the sheets fell away, exposing her bare skin to the icy air. She breathed her complaint, feeling around the floor for a top, and coming up with a too-large jumper that she pulled on quickly. No knickers to be spoken of. She sighed. Stood up. Quickly sat back down.

Behind her, the sheets shifted, revealing the tanned expanse of James Potters's chest. His black hair was a mess. His long-lashed eyes—unobscured by glasses tossed mindlessly away the night prior—were barely open as he hid a yawn behind his hand. Stretched. Then, as his veined arm fell back to the bed and the tips of his fingers found the downy skin of her very lower back, he asked, “What’s the matter?”

She peeked over her shoulder at him. “You’re the matter.”

“What did I do?” His voice was rough from sleep and so endearing.

Lily scoffed, feeling under the comforter in hopes of locating her underwear, and finding only James’s legs. A second glance showed his raised brows. There was no point hiding it: the ache of her hips that rendered her unable to stand, walk, function independently, for the foreseeable future. But, Merlin, he was going to be so unbearable about it. She cleared her throat. “You appear to have fucked me so thoroughly I’ve lost the use of my hips.”

There was no hiding the grin that stretched across his beautiful face. She was only glad he didn’t outwardly laugh. She scowled. His hand slid to her hip, thumb massaging circles into the tender flesh. “I’m sorry, Love.”

“You don’t look sorry.”

He made a pitiful attempt to erase the smile, pushing himself across the bed and, Merlin forbid, exposing more of his wholly naked body, so he could place a warm kiss on each of her gooseflesh hip bones. Then he looked up at her with dark round eyes and said in his most innocent voice, “Guess that means you’ll need help showering, huh?”

idk man but something about Stanley "taught himself extremely advance physics/math/probably many other things while running a relatively successful business" Pines and Stanford "is wanted in almost every dimension with a judicial system of some kind" Pines is sooo fucking funny to me

we go through this every hurricane season but the way people will find any excuse to point the finger at the victims of natural disasters and say cruel shit like "fuck around and find out" like it's not horrifying having to leave behind your home and all your belongings and potentially your pets with the full knowledge that there might not be anything to come back to after... ignoring that there are people that don't have a car or the money to evacuate, ignoring disabled people who have no way to get out, ignoring people that can't find places for their pets to shelter, ignoring people that have medical equipment that can't be moved or replaced, etc... and even if someone stays behind solely because they want to, they still don't deserve to suffer.

as someone who worked extensively in disaster response previously, it is not easy to "just" evacuate, and the relief that comes afterwards is intentionally difficult to obtain. and already the forces that be are trying to spin this narrative that the victims are at fault, to put the blame on them so that if (probably when) people are forced to resort to looting (because the aid never comes) everyone will nod and agree that they're all bad people and deserved it... rather than acknowledging the fact that there was no attempt to make the evacuation accessible and safe for everyone, no guarantee that aid will be waiting for them when they return to a home that has been swept away... no empathy for the fact that these people's entire lives are potentially destroyed with no safety net to catch them.
