#decided to use my chance there

[as-rare-as-trees]

Are you normal or did you go to a starbucks for the first time and gave out the name of your favourite character of the moment instead of yours so that you could get a literal plastic cup with their name on it and then use it to hold dead flowers and now things have finally come full circle as at last you have the book with that character as mc sitting right next to the cup-vase?

Feelings Thawed

Character; Cater Diamond

Content; Fluff, gender-neutral reader, pining, ice skating (to various degrees of success)

Author's Note; This is a present/thank you to my mutual @i-like-forgs. I hope you enjoy this ice skating scene with Cater, and that you get to skate soon!

As a reminder, do not put my work — or others for that matter — into AI as it steals. Link to Masterlist

The brisk wind bit at your nose, and you pulled up your scarf, trying to keep away the offending wind. Around you it was a winter wonderland, all made possible in the temperate conditions thanks to Cater, who was filming you skating around on the frozen pond’s surface.

“You know,” you hollered, making sure that you caught his attention, “you should join me! It’s fun!” You came to a stop by the pond’s edge, where Cater was standing with a large thermos.

Cater just shot you a wink, handing you the thermos. “This is for you though, silly!” 

He was deflecting, you could tell; behind that bright and cheery smile that he always seemed to wear around others, you knew when there was something off with Cater. You accepted the thermos though, and took a sip of the spicy apple cider, still piping hot.

You gave him a look and pulled lightly on his coat sleeve. “Yes, but it’s more fun with others, come on Cater!” You stepped back onto the ice, and slowly skated near him, waiting with an eager smile.

He looked at you, and then back at the ice, but he stayed standing in the light snow, shooting you that smile. “But I can’t take photos if I’m out there with you!” He scratched at the back of his neck.

Liar. “Cater,” you looped back around and stepped onto the bank, balancing on your skates, “do you not know how to skate?”

Cater’s smile turned sheepish, and his ‘ahahaha, looks like my gig is up’ chuckle made its appearance. He had been found out. “Never got the chance to,” he hid his face slightly in his scarf, either to keep the cold at bay or to hide that his cheeks were turning pink. “So I’d just slow ya down.”

You took his hand into yours, “Well, I could teach you if you wanted. Just a warning though, you’re gonna fall on your butt a lot, might get a few bruises.”

Cater looked down at your entwined hands. Mittens and gloves separated your skin from touching one another, but Cater could swear that he could feel the sensation nonetheless through the layers of fabric.

“You would? Even if I pull you down with me?” 

The last question wasn’t just about the ice skating; Cater didn’t want to force you to do anything that you didn’t want to… and that included being his friend. His heart seemed to whisper stronger emotions though, but he didn’t want to ruin what the two of you had.

You walked him out to the ice, and the both of you swiftly fell down on the ice, hard. But you just laughed and got right back up again, “Well, we did just fall. There isn’t anything scary about falling down; yes it stings and might leave a gnarly bruise, but in order to move forward we have to fall and get back up. So yes, is what I guess I’m saying.”

Cater looked up at you, the sun illuminating you and the snow glittered behind you. You were holding your hand out again, waiting for him. And Cater took your hand. 

It took him a while to get the hang of it, and he fell down quite a bit, but every time he fell down you helped him back up. And by the time that the sun was setting in the west, the both of you were cold, and both were going to wake up tomorrow with some bruises. It was fun though, which is all that mattered… but that whisper in Cater’s heart was by now singing, and maybe he would listen to it, but for now, he was happy with how the way things were, and he wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world, especially with how much you had smiled today. Your smile and knowing that you had fun with him was enough.

7 Sins Legacy - generation 5 (gluttony)

Yasmine: Hey... I decided to drop by again to check on you while I have my break. How are you holding up? Temperance: I'm... managing. I hate that the last thing we did was argue over the phone- I wish that I just told him that I love him...

Yasmine: Oh Temperance... Don't be too hard on yourself. He knows that you love him. You couldn't know that this would happen. Temperance: It's been almost two days since I found him and everything since then feels so surreal... I wish I could just stay here-

-But I need to take care of the twins. They need their routine so I have to be there for them... Also thank you for bringing them some toys. Yasmine: Of course! We have more than enough in the children's ward. Just let me know if you need me to bring some more.

Temperance: Are there any new notes from his doctor? Yasmine: ...It says he hasn't made any progress overnight, but he also didn't get worse, which is good. And his vitals are still stable. Temperance: Do you know more? About... his condition?

Yasmine: This does sometimes happen. In Gulshan's case his excessive food consumption, his drinking and smoking addictions, working too much, stress, and not getting enough sleep all added up to his body shutting down... Which caused him fall into a coma.

-It's his body telling him that it can't go on like this any longer. It's very important that he changes his lifestye if he wakes up, otherwise it can happen again... And then the chance that he'll wake up is going to be smaller and smaller every time that happens.

Temperance: You said if he wakes up. Do you know what his chance of waking up is? ....And what if... what if he doesn't? Yasmine: I wish I knew, but the only thing we can do is just wait. Just try not to think too much about if he doesn't-

-I believe in my brother and have good hope that he'll pull through. I know he loves you. A lot. and I refuse to believe that he'll give up on that-

*alarm beeping*

Yasmine: That's my sign to go. One of my patients needs me-

-I'll drop by later if you're still here. And of course you can always ask any doctor to bring me here if you need me. Temperance: Thank you Yasmine. I really appreciate you. Yasmine: Of course! Anything to help.

[luck-of-the-drawings]

so REVENGE, HUH? or justice, if that makes you feel better. it tastes the same when cooked just right. 'I REALLY WANTED A BROTHER.' such a shame to burn a bridge you so desperately wanted to keep, especially when it wasnt even you who started the fire. especially when you hope that not a single fragment of that bridge ever washes ashore.[MAY IT ROT FAR FROM MY SIGHTS] an unfortunate loss! atleast he has his friends.

[moonshynecybin]

drop your fav obscure marc facts/lore plssss like something he randomly mentioned once that could mean nothing. but could also mean Everything

this is fucking insane and in my eyes firmly explains the crazypants dynamic that early rosquez had week in and week out. 21 year old marc voice stars in his goddamn eyes: you need to fuck me so i can WINNNNNNN

I like the Zelda franchise and ship zelink a normal amount. Obviously.

i just went to bed, then 15 minutes later got out of bed and turned the lights on, grabbed a pencil and sticky note, and began frantically calculating my total possible annual leave between now and December 2025. Again.

just in case anyone is wondering just how meticulous and obsessive i am over future travel and time off

Been getting an influx of obvious spam/porn bots and also blank blogs in my follows the past couple weeks so I guess this is a good time to state my policy on the latter again:

I don’t block blank blogs that follow me on sight if they have usernames that look like a person might’ve chosen them (ie not a random mash of letters and numbers). This is because it’s possible these blogs might be real users brand new to tumblr (or newly remaking etc).

However, I do go back and check and if after 1-2 weeks (whenever I remember to check) the blog still has not been customized with an icon etc and still has zero content, even likes? Blocked. If it has likes or other content but those seem…sus to me in very specific ways I won’t get into? Blocked. This is because I have decided that either the blog is a bot, is not intending to truly use tumblr anytime soon, or may be something more annoying or outright harmful specifically to me.

So if you’re new to tumblr and just followed me, hi! Please start using tumblr by reblogging and liking posts! I hope you’ll enjoy your time here. But…I’ll block you if you don’t actually use your blog. Sorry!
