Say Goodbye to Dullness: The Power of Exfoliating Lotions Unveiled

In the quest for radiant, youthful skin, exfoliation is key. With the hustle and bustle of daily life, our skin often faces a barrage of pollutants, dead skin cells, and impurities that can leave it looking lackluster and tired. But fear not, for the solution lies within the transformative powers of exfoliating lotions. At Golden's Flowers, we understand the importance of skincare rituals that deliver results, which is why we proudly present our exquisite Exfoliating Lotion.

What is Exfoliating Lotion?

The exfoliating lotion is a skincare product specially formulated to gently slough away dead skin cells, revealing fresh, vibrant skin underneath. Unlike harsh scrubs that can cause irritation and damage, exfoliating lotions work to dissolve the bonds between dead skin cells, effectively unclogging pores and promoting cell turnover. Our Gel Cleanser & Exfoliating Lotion is a luxurious blend of natural ingredients designed to purify and rejuvenate the skin, leaving it soft, smooth, and glowing with vitality.

The Benefits of Exfoliating Lotions

Regular exfoliation with a high-quality lotion offers a myriad of benefits for all skin types:

Brightens Dull Complexion: Say goodbye to dullness and hello to luminosity! By removing dead skin cells and stimulating circulation, exfoliating lotions help to reveal a brighter, more radiant complexion.

Unclogs Pores: Pesky blackheads and blemishes are no match for the deep cleansing power of exfoliating lotions. By clearing away impurities and excess oil, these lotions help to prevent breakouts and minimize the appearance of pores.

Promotes Cell Renewal: As we age, the natural process of cell turnover slows down, leading to a buildup of dead skin cells and a dull, uneven skin tone. Exfoliating lotions encourage cellular renewal, resulting in smoother, more youthful-looking skin.

Enhances Skincare Absorption: By removing the barrier of dead skin cells, exfoliating lotions allow for better absorption of skincare products, maximizing their effectiveness and ensuring that your skin receives the full benefits of your skincare routine.

Improves Texture: Whether you suffer from rough patches, flakiness, or uneven texture, exfoliating lotions can help to refine the skin's surface, leaving it soft, supple, and irresistibly touchable.

Why Choose Golden's Flowers Exfoliating Lotion?

At Golden's Flowers, we believe that skincare should be a sensory experience that nourishes both the body and the soul. Our Gel Cleanser & Exfoliating Lotion is crafted with care using only the finest botanical extracts and natural ingredients. Formulated without harsh chemicals or artificial fragrances, our lotion is gentle enough for daily use, yet powerful enough to deliver visible results.

Infused with invigorating citrus extracts and soothing botanicals, our exfoliating lotion gently buffs away dullness and reveals the true beauty of your skin. Whether you're struggling with dryness, congestion, or signs of aging, our luxurious lotion is here to renew and revitalize your complexion, leaving you with a luminous glow that radiates from within.

In conclusion, if you're ready to say goodbye to dull and hello to radiant, youthful skin, it's time to incorporate exfoliating lotion into your skincare routine. With its transformative powers, our Gel Cleanser & Exfoliating Lotion is sure to become your new skincare essential. Experience the Golden's Flowers difference today and unlock the secret to luminous, healthy skin.

hil, love ur writing!!

could i request a Paul Lahote x Bella's Younger Sister! Reader (Luna Swan). y'know how in new moon Jacob does this like parkour climb into Bella's room (Imao). maybe like reader is doing her night time routine to get ready for bed then hears pebbles being thrown at her window and she already knows it’s her bf paul is out there. she opens the window for him and he climbs up showing off his strength. he immediately wraps his arms around Luna’s waist and puts his head into her neck/shoulders. she reciprocates his deep hug, rubbing her hands up n down his back and shoulders (bc he shows up shirtless in true werewolf fashion😌). she asks him all coy “what are you doing here” so he just explains how he needed to see her and be with her bc ofc we all know how protective of an imprint Paul must be. it’s all cutesy then they kiss and cuddle to sleep.

btw… obsessed with ur writing🫶🏼. literally im always checking back on ur account for updates💞

Pebbles

Paul Lahote x reader

Now Playing: Ho Hey by The Lumineers

I hummed to the song on the radio as I sat at my vanity, applying creams to my skin and oils to my hair. It had been a long day; school was tiring, I had a million assignments, and work was… well, it was the service industry, so about as good as could be expected.

The sun had set already. Dad was on a hunting trip for the winter break, and Bella had taken the opportunity to stay with Edward for a few days. This left me alone in the house, but it wasn’t all that bad.

I had gotten up to dig around under my desk for a face mask, finding it and sitting back on my bottom as I read the back for instructions.

A thud made me look over towards my window. I watched for a long moment as nothing happened, until a small pebble hit the window again. I got up, making my way over to see who was there.

I peered through the glass, only to see a familiar face staring back at me. I smiled as I saw him, pushing my lacy curtains back to unlatch my window and open it.

“What are you doing?” I call coyly, laughing at Paul as he grinned up at me

“What, I can’t come see my girlfriend? Can’t make sure she’s okay after a long Monday without her?” He teased, adding, “Watch out, I’m coming up.”

I take several steps back, watching as he takes a running leap up to the ledge of my window. I watch as he shimmies his broad shoulders and long legs through the small opening, laughing as his foot gets caught in the curtain.

He scowls at me, taking long strides forward to envelop me in a hug. He presses his face into the crook of my neck, bowing his body over mine to reach, and his arms circle my waist tightly.

I sigh with content as I wrap my arms around him, one over his shoulder to take through his hair and the other around his torso to run my hand up and down his spine.

“You’re lucky Charlie isn’t here,” I murmur, “If he saw you climbing up here, he’d bust in to kick your ass, and also to give you a shirt.”

He snickers, complaining that “Shirts are restricting, and I run hot.”

“‘It’s a werewolf thing’.” I quote, smiling as I add, “I was about to put on a face mask, you want to join?”

He pulled his head back to eye me, suspicious of my proposition. I only laughed at him, pulling away and reaching for the tube of “Green Tea Detoxifying Face Mask Gel”

---

We end up cuddled together on the bed, the fan blowing towards both our faces to dry the mask.

He’s laying on his side, his hand propping his head up. His other arm is wrapped around my waist, keeping my back secured to his chest as we watch reruns of old movies.

I yawn, so comfortable that I’m almost falling asleep.

“Tired?” He asks quietly, and I shrug.

“Comfortable,” I reply, “You’re so warm, makes me want to fall asleep.”

He laughs a little, reaching up to poke my cheek, “Mask’s dry, let’s take them off.”

I groan as I roll to my feet, padding to the bathroom to peel off the mask. I do mine first, leaning over the counter and carefully taking the dry, rubbery substance off of my skin and throwing it in the trash. When I’m done, I haul myself up to sit on the counter as Paul props his arms on either side of my legs.

I take off his mask, careful of his eyebrows and the short hair on his chin and jaw.

“You didn’t shave this morning,” I comment, turning to throw the part of the mask I had gotten off into the trash.

“Ran late today, Sam dragged me to school before I could,” He replied, his eyes glued to my face, “Jared hogs the bathroom trying to fix his hair.”

I smile, peeling off the nose strip now.

“Tell him to quit sleeping with his hair wet, and he won’t have to fix it as much in the morning.”

He sighs, “I’ve tried. He’s stubborn.”

I hum, “Reminds me of someone else I know.”

He rolls his eyes, pinching my thigh and making me laugh.

“Yeah, I’m sure,” He says sarcastically, “But the only stubborn hot-head you love is right here, letting you torture him with face masks.”

I laugh, “You know you love them!”

Again, he rolls his eyes, leaning in to press a kiss to my lips as he says, “I love you, I tolerate the masks.”

I giggle as he presses dozens of quick kisses across my face, never more grateful for life than I am in this moment.

———

Thank you so much for the request!! It was super cute and I had so much fun writing it 🥰

And I’m so glad you like my writing!! That made me so happy 😁 I really hope you enjoyed this, and lmk if you have any more requests 💕

“You ready, babe?”

Spencer looked down at the vanity adorned with various products, giving you a small nod before looking between you and the camera. Ever since watching Spencer just rinse his face off with water one morning about a week ago, you've been brewing up the idea of a skincare routine video to get him in the groove of taking his skin health seriously. For a man who loves to tell you what products (or lack of products) aren't helping your skin, he sure did little to make sure his routine was up to his standards.

“Okay! Hello, lovelies! Today I’m with Spencer,” you gestured over to him, “and we are going to be doing my nighttime skincare routine! Spence, would you mind sharing with the audience your skincare routine?”

He furrowed his brows and looked over to you, “a routine is a sequence of actions regularly followed, like a fixed program. I don't have procedures I go through so I wouldn't classify it as a routine.”

“Okay,” you tried to maintain your giggles, “then tell them what you usually do for your skin before you go to bed.”

“Well,” he began, looking back at the cameras and talking with his hands, “Sometimes, if I feel as though my pores had excreted more oil than normal and Y/N’s face wash is out, I'd use that, but more times than not, she's in bed before me so I’ll just use water.”

A pout formed on your face as you looked at the camera. “Terrible, I know.”

“Hey!”

“Anyway,” you gently placed a hand on his arm, the action soothing him while simultaneously letting him know you meant no harm, “we’re going to fix that. Today, I’ll not only be showing you my routine, but also getting Spencer to do it with me!”

The video went on without a hitch. You started with a cleanser and then went into an exfoliator. Now, you had your container of clay mask sitting in front of the two of you. “Now we’re on the third step. This mask cleans pores, brightens skins, and detoxifies skin,” you look up from reading the jar to see a contemplative look on Spencer’s face. “You good, Spence?”

“Yes, yes, I just don't know how I would go about putting it on my face.”

With soft eyes, you gently opened the lid and scooped a small clump of the mask onto your finger. “I’ll put yours on for you, okay?”

He smiled and gave a nod before you swiped your finger down his cheek, spreading out what you had into a thin layer. “This feels nice,” he said, closing his eyes and letting out a soft hum.

“It’s supposed to.” The moment felt very domestic, and you couldn't wait for the time where you'd do this without the camera. The serenity of the moment was cut short though, when you went to scoop more of the mask onto your finger and the jar started to slip from your grasp. The shock of it almost falling sent one of your hands flying up, which caused whatever clay you had on your hand to fling onto Spencer’s unsuspecting face.

You registered the gasp he elicited when you stabilized the jar on the vanity, and when looking over at Spencer, you saw the splatter of clay painted across his face. “I am–” you started to laugh, but used your clean hand to cover your mouth, “I am so sorry, baby.”

“No, no, it’s okay.” His thin smile was giving mixed signals, but you assumed nothing of it when he changed to topic. “Could I take a look at the ingredients?”

Giving a quick nod, you didn't take notice of how quick he grabbed the mask and swooped his fingers in. Not a second later, you felt the cool substance flung across your face. All you did was blink at him– him, and his shit-eating grin– before folding your lips in and letting out a hum. “Spencer…”

His face slowly morphed into one of concern, “I don't know why I thought that was okay. Y/N, I’m sorry. We can clean this up and–” and a big splat sound echoed in the room and Spencer promptly shut his mouth when a lump of the mask landed on his forehead and began to drip down the bridge of his nose. Your laugh caused a fire to light in his eyes, and he once again grabbed the jar. “Oh, I see how it is.”

“You started a war, Spence.” When he aimed his fire, you stood up and ran over to your bed, grabbing a pillowcase. “You wouldn't target one of our very expensive pillowcases?”

“You're the one sacrificing it!” He flung the clay, and you used the pillow to block the blow. At the amount on the pillow, your eyes widened with humor, “That’s almost the entire jar!”

Laughing, Spencer stalked forward with another handful of the mask. “I’ll buy you more,” he said, cornering you before smearing his hand all down your face.

Your gasping giggles filled the room, and Spencer leaned his forehead down onto yours as you both calmed down. “This video has gone off track.”

“I’m sorry,” his voice was soft and gentle, a big contrast from the chaotic clay war from moments ago.

“Don't. I’m having more fun than anticipated.” Your arms made their way around his neck, gently carding your fingers through the hair at the nape of his neck. Yeah, you still had the clay mask all over your hands, but you were over one-hundred percent sure the two of you would be taking a shower in less than five minutes.

“You didn't anticipate having fun with me while doing skincare?” His eyes held a playful glint.

Gently pulling his head down so that your lips grazed his, you whispered, “I always anticipate having fun with you, Dr. Reid.” And with that, he captured your lips with his, the face mask smearing all over your faces without a care in the world. The video was the last thing on your mind… you'll continue it at a later time.

What to do after a long week

Open your window. Let the sun and the wind enter your room.

Cook something for yourself.

Turn Spotify on and dance in your room. (Nobody is judging you)

Remember old anecdotes with your beloved ones.

Detoxify from your phone, look further away from the screens, we are surrounded by beauty.

Do you know anything better than a hot girl walk with a self-esteem podcast? Try it :)

Working out, I started doing pilates there are very nice videos to do some stretching at home with no special materials.

Take a nap. I'm Spanish what were you expecting? Hahha

Long calls with a beloved one. In my case that's my mum.

Face mask will always be one of my favourites, I have one right now in deed.

Rewatching old movies.

Meditating it's a nice option, I always try to do it in the morning. Since I'm a very anxious person I try to start the day with a peaceful mindset.

I have been using bentonite clay for toothpaste and as a face mask and I absolutely love it.

Bentonite is a type of clay from volcanic ash 🌋 that is known for its rich minerals and has been used for centuries for its detoxifying and healing properties.

Five uses of Bentonite Clay:

1. Hair: a great detoxifier and restorative of your hairs natural pH balance. It removes excess oil, strengthens hair and adds shine.

2. Body: helps rid the body of toxins when used in baths. It binds to heavy metals and other impurities helping remove them. It balances the body’s pH by providing calcium, magnesium, and potassium.

3. Inner health: alleviates digestive issues by binding to and gets rid of toxins in the gut. It enhances the absorption of nutrients by balancing gut bacteria.

4. Skincare: absorbs excess oil and unclogs pores. Exfoliates the skin as well as tightens and tones; reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

5. Toothpaste: removes toxins and bacteria, minerals, and impurities. Soothes gums. Contains minerals that strengthen teeth and can help remove stains.

Could you do skin care headcanons with the bat boys? I don’t know why this popped into my head but it did and I’m not complaining lol

A/n: I feel like they’re each so different with this stuff lmao

Warnings: none

Cassin

Cass just uses regular soap and a face cloth for his daily routine and it’s so frustrating bc he has nice skin

It’s definitely not smooth and soft but blemish free for sure

Az and Rhys have been wondering for over 200 years what his secret is to his skin care routine bc every time they ask he just teases them by saying “you wish you knew.” And skip away

The truth is he started stealing products from Rhys

Cass used Rhys’s bathroom at the town house one time and knew he immediately had to keep using this stuff bc of how good his skin felt after

He didn’t buy his own though, he decided messing with Rhys would be better and started stealing products if Rhys had a duplicate of it or Rhys never used it

It drives Rhys insane and he still hasn’t figured it out but Az did and he still hasn’t told on Cassian

Rhys

Rhys has a 12 step skin care routine with 100 other products that help with something

He also uses sunscreen and lip balm with spf

He definitely has one of those jade rollers, a gua sha stone, and ice face roller that he uses religiously

I also think Rhys would use under eye patches to help the bags under his eyes. He’s always up late and everyone exhausts him so he needs the extra help

Rhys also has extra fluffy face towels bc why not have them match his regular towels

When he does find out Cassian is stealing his stuff they get into an argument that Feyre and Azriel just love watching bc it’s not a conversation either of them ever thought a High Lord and General would ever be having

Azriel

Azriel’s skin is perfect and with minimal effort

He has a 3 step routine of face wash, prep serum, and moisturizer

Az started off using some of Rhys’s stuff while figuring out what worked for him or what he wanted to use

I think Azriel is a very routine person and he hates having it messed up

If he’s on missions it’s fine if he doesn’t do his full routine but he just makes up for it when he gets home by taking an extra long bath and scrubbing his face

After missions Az does face masks to relax and it’s always a detoxifying one

6:06pm

"stop fucking moving," you muttered, eyes focused as you dragged the brush across your boyfriend's face, the coolness of the face mask causing him to shiver slightly.

jeno let out a soft chuckle, his eyes bending into a smile watching the concentration on your face, your tongue stick out the side of your mouth as you focused on coating your boyfriend's face in a layer of light blue goodness. "remind me what this does again?"

he was teasing you. you had spent about twenty minutes explaining every step of the skincare routine you had created for him, going through the benefits of every product as you gently treated him to a pamper night. his hair was pushed back off his eyes with a soft, fluffy hairband, shirtless with only grey joggers low om hips. you, on the other hand, had one of jeno's hoodies on, massive on you as it went down to your mid-thigh, with a pair of cotton shorts on to keep you warm.

you were perched up on your bathroom counter, bare legs growing goosebumps against the cold china, so you were at eye level with jeno. he was so much taller than you that even when up on the counter you still felt like he was towering over you, standing still in between your legs as you treated him to half your skincare fridge, making him the prettiest princess in the world.

"it's a detoxifying mask," you said for about the twentieth time that evening, still painting on his face, "it's gonna clean out your pores, i've told you this, baby."

"i know, doll," he leant forward, planting a kiss on the tip of your nose, causing pink to flush onto your cheeks, "how long until we can take this off?"

you hopped off the counter, taking your boyfriend's hand in your own and dragging him from the bathroom back into your bedroom, collapsing onto the bed in a dramatic fashion. "about 20 minutes, but you have to let it dry, jen."

"it feels weird on my face," he brought his hand up to touch you, and you quickly yanked it away, jumping up from the bed and pulling him down over you. if it wasn't for his quick reactions, he would have landed straight on top of you, but he stuck his hands out quickly. "guessing i'm not allowed to touch it, then?"

you gently smacked his chest. "just lie down and get comfy, let me put some music on."

you rolled out from underneath him, leaving him to collapse onto his back, watching you as you grabbed the speaker, a soft rnb playlist suddenly filling the evening air. a packet of chocolates was on the side of the dressing table, and you snatched them up before sitting next to him. his arm snaked round your shoulder, squeezing you in tight as you curled up in his side. you popped a strawberry one in your mouth, the sweet taste melting on your tongue. jeno opened his mouth, pinching your shoulder to get your attention, and you complied, placing one on his tongue for him.

"thank you, baby," he muffled, somehow pulling you even closer to his side, "hmm, i love you."

you let out a soft chuckle. "love you too, how you liking the face mask?"

"makes my skin feel tight," he scrunched his nose, the light blue coating wrinkling as he did so, "feels like it's dry though."

you reached out to tap it lightly, the outer layer feeling fully dried down. "stay there, i'll peel it off for you."

"what?!" an alarm expression painted itself on your boyfriend's face, and you couldn't help but laugh, "you're not gonna peel off my skin?!"

"no, baby," you planted a kiss against the top of his hair, "the mask is gonna peel off."

"are you sure?" he grabbed your wrist, stopping you with worry in his eyes.

"i'm sure, jen. let me just-"

and you peeled the entire mask off, most of it in one go, throwing it in the bin by the side of the bed. his entire body was tense as you grabbed a pot of moisturiser, swiping a thin layer over his skin, gently patting it into your skin before planting a kiss against his lips, smiling as your body melted into his.

his arms wrapped around your body, stroking up and down as you got as close to him as physically possible. your hands slid his headband off, nestling in his hair as you became lost in his body, the two of you becoming one.

"thank you, baby," he mumbled against your lips.

you smiled, pulling away to get a look at your freshly pampered princess. "don't you worry, jen."

Ayurvedic Secrets to Radiant Skin: Understanding Your Dosha and Simple Homemade Skincare

In the pursuit of healthy, glowing skin, many of us seek solutions in expensive creams, serums, and treatments. But what if the key to vibrant skin lies in ancient wisdom that's been practiced for centuries?

Welcome to the world of Ayurveda, where the holistic approach to skincare goes beyond topical treatments to address the root causes of skin imbalances.

What is Ayurveda?

Ayurveda, often called the "science of life," is an ancient healing system that originated in India thousands of years ago. At its core is the belief that our well-being is intricately connected to the balance of three fundamental energies known as doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.

Understanding Your Dosha:

Each person is born with a unique combination of these doshas, which influence not only our physical characteristics but also our mental and emotional tendencies. By identifying your dominant dosha, you can tailor your skincare routine to address specific skin concerns effectively.

Vata Dosha: If you have Vata-dominant skin, you may notice tendencies toward dryness, flakiness, and sensitivity. Vata skin often feels parched and is prone to premature aging. To nurture Vata skin, focus on moisturizing and nourishing practices.

Skincare Routine: Massage your skin with warm sesame oil to deeply moisturize and improve circulation. Use gentle, hydrating cleansers and rich, emollient creams to lock in moisture.

Homemade Recipe: Create a hydrating face mask by mixing mashed avocado with honey and a few drops of almond oil. Leave it on for 15 minutes before rinsing with warm water.

Pitta Dosha: Pitta-dominant skin tends to be sensitive, prone to redness, inflammation, and occasional breakouts. Excessive heat and stress can exacerbate Pitta imbalances, leading to increased oiliness and irritation.

Skincare Routine: Opt for cooling and soothing ingredients like cucumber, aloe vera, and sandalwood. Use gentle, non-abrasive cleansers and avoid harsh exfoliants that can aggravate inflammation.

Homemade Recipe: Make a calming face pack by mixing sandalwood powder with rose water and a pinch of turmeric. Apply it to clean skin, leave it on for 15 minutes, then rinse with cool water.

Kapha Dosha: Kapha-dominant skin tends to be oily, prone to congestion, and enlarged pores. Kapha imbalances can result in dullness, blackheads, and a lack of vitality.

Skincare Routine: Focus on purifying and detoxifying practices to balance excess oil and congestion. Use gentle, oil-balancing cleansers and lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizers.

Homemade Recipe: Create an invigorating scrub by mixing ground oats with yogurt and a pinch of turmeric. Gently massage it onto damp skin in circular motions, then rinse with lukewarm water.

General Ayurvedic Skincare Tips: In addition to dosha-specific practices, there are some general principles of Ayurvedic skincare that benefit all skin types:

Practice Abhyanga, or self-massage with warm oil, to promote relaxation and improve circulation.

Drink herbal teas like chamomile or tulsi to reduce internal inflammation and support overall well-being.

Maintain a balanced lifestyle with adequate sleep, regular exercise, and stress management to promote skin health from the inside out.

Ayurveda offers a holistic approach to skincare that emphasizes harmony between mind, body, and spirit. By understanding your dosha and incorporating simple, homemade remedies into your skincare routine, you can unlock the secrets to radiant and healthy skin naturally. Remember, consistency and mindfulness are key to achieving lasting results. So, embrace the wisdom of Ayurveda and let your inner glow shine through!

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need further guidance on your Ayurvedic skincare journey.

my boy Steve would be a complete stylist, hair, makeup, clothes, even nails.

(Eddie hiring cute stylist without seeing his portfolio)

ugh omg he would!!! You just know he'd do the best deep conditioning treatment on Eddie's hair to make it all glossy and lustrous, and would cut off all his split ends, and would apply rosemary oil on his nails because he's always picking at them and would give him massages and do clay detoxifying face masks on him because Eddie suffers with breakouts when CC are on tour.

He also designs all the outfits CC wear in concert and does PA duties, like gets drinks and their favourite snacks ready for their dressing room before each show. Plus shouts at them every day to apply sunscreen before they go out so they're protected from UV damage!! Especially Eddie who has sensitive skin and burns easily. Eddie completely worships him and is like "omg how have I survived all my life without you???" and then gives Steve a bucket load of money for him to open his own hair salon and start his own line of skincare and hair products.

Test subject Alice. Part 1.

Alice woke up for the second time in the ICU and was finally convinced that it was all real.

At night, she returned drunk from the club and went to bed, and in the morning, she woke up in a hospital bed. The first thing she noticed was the oxygen mask on her face. She was also put on a neck brace. A feeding tube was inserted into her nostril. The girl could not see but felt the urinary catheter.

Alice's hands and feet were tied to the bed, but there was no need for that, as she could not move them anyway. She could only look at the surrounding equipment and the tubes and wires that were attached to her body. She knew these devices and their purpose well, because she had long been fascinated by the idea of becoming an ICU patient. But she was not ready for that to become a reality.

Alice began to get used to the frequent visits of nurses who gave her injections and recorded readings of her vital signs from the monitors. However, they did not respond to her questions at all. Why is she here? Why is she paralyzed? Did she get sick or have an accident? Is this someone's evil joke? Was she kidnapped by criminals to sell her organs? After another injection, the girl fell asleep.

After waking up, she realized that nothing had changed. The same room, the same sounds of monitoring systems.

Later, a doctor, whom she had not seen before, entered the room. His face was hard to see behind the mask. He looked at the monitors for a while, and then spoke to the girl.

"Welcome to our lab. We've been watching you for a while. Yes, you were kidnapped. You're fine, you can't move because of the paralytic. This is necessary so that you do not harm yourself or others."

"What do you want?"

"We are engaged in the development and testing of advanced technologies and drugs that will save millions of lives around the world. Our laboratory has the most expensive and best equipment, the best specialists from all over the world work for us. However, we need patients for testing. Only volunteers are not enough, so through social networks we are looking for individuals who dream of becoming our test subjects."

"But I'm not sure I want that."

"It's already too late. All last day we spent detoxifying your body. According to the test results, your health is excellent, there are no contraindications. So, we will perform intubation. After that, we will start the experiment."

Sick And Tired of You

Lute has caught a mysterious illness and her life is no longer what she once had. How will she recover? How will things get back to normal? Or will they ever?

Trigger Warnings: Strong language, Gore

It started with a sniffle, nothing to worry about really, maybe just some left over gunk from being at that god awful place after The Purge. It wasn’t uncommon, coming back covered in sinner blood you always had to detoxify yourself and that’s what Lute considered it to be, for maybe the first week. From a sniffle to a sneeze, she could hide it with ease but Adam and the other angels weren’t so stupid. Sure they looked on the bright side of everything when up in heaven which gave her good cover but it wouldn’t last forever. During training it really started to show. 

Slipping on solid ground, missing marks with her spear Adam would make overexaggerated jokes about ‘Danger tits becoming Lazy tits just because he fucked her right.’ Not that they ever did such a thing but Adam would make it known, lie or not, that he made sure to keep his angels in shape with his holy nut sack. It would make her roll her eyes, but after the final rally she’d saunter out of sight, only to crawl her way back to her room when relieved by her higher ups. Chills capturing her body like a vice grip, coughing up a lung or six. Lute had never felt something so violent in her body. 

Maneuvering her body into a perfectly warm bath she tossed her mask to the side only to catch a glimpse of what she looked like. Who was this ghastly woman looking back at her? Gaunt features, bloodshot eyes, deep circles and sunken cheeks. She wasn’t fooling anyone, they were simply letting her walk around like a fool for weeks, like she deserved to be gawked at like this. Her fists clenched, teeth gritted but the rage didn’t last long when she heard her door fling open. There was only one person who felt her privacy was so arbitrary to disrespect it, and in a sense she respected it. 

“What do you want?!” Lute called.

“Good you know I’m here!” Adam replied as he shoved open the bathroom door, Lute quickly snatched a towel and looked away, as though he hadn’t stared at her face during training for hours; perhaps she should have kept on her mask more often. Not even perhaps she SHOULD have. Though Adam could have the IQ of a walnut sometimes he did know how to pick up on things, first man, first to pick up on her ques. Water sloshed as she pulled her knees to her chest and she glared at him, another wing out to cover her body as he ogled her biting his lip, sharp teeth, eyebrow wiggle and all. “What’s SO important that you need to be here Adam?” She asked, hostility lacing her tone, a clogged nose making her voice congested. 

“Ya see, Danger Tits, that’s just the problem!” The high angel began doing a finger gun at her and plopping down on her toilet. “You’re so important! And here you are being all fucked up all the time, it’s like you’re…” He waved his hand making grumbling noises as he reached out for the words he was looking for, “A weak fuckin pussy!” 

The sickly angel couldn’t help but flinch, sure Adam called angels a lot of things but his words were always nicer to her, they had a bond that she’d raise heaven, earth and hell to keep. “No I’m not I-”

“You’re SICK.” An accusatory finger pushed into her wing before grabbing her feathers, “And angels, real angels don’t get sick.” voice low and angry, there was a threat in that sentence and she’d seen it before. Witnessed and taken out that threat for him. 

“No Adam,” A slight shake in her voice, “I’m not, I’m just tired of all those fucking-”

“DON’T BULL SHIT ME, or are you just a bad a liar as those stupid fucking hell spawn!” He was enraged, his little Lute was lying to him, betraying him, and seeing that fear in her eyes, as much as he didn’t want it he knew he was right. She was being human, and that was a problem. “I won’t let you fuck this up for me Lute, not for anyone up here.” He gripped her wing harder, yanking her from the tub as she fought to be removed from his grip. Unfortunately those bones in her back were hollow, weak, and she felt a snap, causing her to cry out in pain. 

“Please, don’t! I’ll get better! I’ll do everything you ask! I’m still-”

Her pleading meant nothing at this point as he tore a wing from her, “You can’t be a weak link hot stuff, I can’t afford it, you gotta go where you belong you haz been.” He grinned and Lute ran. Naked, afraid and one winged she darted through her apartment, reaching for her spear only to have holy light hit her in the back. A wretched noise was forced from her lungs and with a snap a portal opened up between her and the high angel. Her eyes begged and pleaded as her chin quivered, unable to support her argument before he grabbed her ankle.

“I liked you, I really did, tits and all,” He let his smile fall and snapped his fingers, A long gold chain with a golden weight at the end slowly began to descend the hole, attached to her ankle.

“ADAM!” She screamed, desperate to stay as she reached out trying to fight the weight only for Adam to grab her hand as she was held between heaven and hell. Her clammy hand was barely able to hold his. 

“Oh! Almost forgot,” it was a sadistic smirk that followed as he tore off her other wing tossing it to the side, “guess I’m having wings tonight!” Her hand easily slipped from his and she landed on the red concrete with a hard thud, unable to stop her own fall she swore there were more than wings that were broken.

The light of hell burnt deeper than it used to, it burnt her to her now, most likely absent, soul. “Fuck.” Was all she whispered trying to roll onto her side to get the pressure off her back, only to find her body instinctively curling to protect her vital organs. Coughing hard golden liquid spurted from her mouth, slowly turning red as it hit the ground. God if she wasn’t sick before she was now. Why would a harmless cold cause so much.

Hearing a creaking from down wind she bolted upright only to fall forward unable to support her own bodyweight. Running on pure adrenaline still didn’t give her enough to function. Even when the voices coming up behind her became audible. 

“But Vaggie she’s-” The soft tones of Lucifer’s brat almost begging the fucker that should have been killed in the past extermination. 

“No!” It was stern but as time passed it seemed Vaggie had relented. Lute’s vision was fading, only a growl leaving her as red pants came into her line of blurred sight. A warbled mash of voices echoed before she no longer saw the true hell she’d landed in. 

Three days. That’s how long she was out, a high fever, major blood loss, she’d caught Fallen Syndrome while in Hell not too long ago. It starts out as a human like cold, but over time if a weak willed person would succumb to it, demon, human or angel one would start to succumb to hallucinations and end themselves, others, or anything in sight all to serve Lucifer. Lucifer himself did not create the disease but bacteria that existed in hell over time created it. Seldom did they latch on to angels but they are often attracted to those with strong wills. Alastor was the one to diagnose her and Charlie was the one to get her the cure, but Vaggie.

Vaggie was the one who watched over her. The previous angel felt it was her duty to keep Charlie safe but also to keep Lute in line if she was going to be here, and as they watched her golden blood turn to red it showed she might be here for a very long time. Regardless, that question wasn’t answered till Lute woke, grumbling, weak, and dizzy. “Where-” Vaggie didn’t let her finish. 

“Welcome to the Hazbin Hotel.” It was delivered deadpan, more as if a guard was talking to a prisoner and for Lute it might as well have been just that.

“You slimy little fuck!” Lute bellowed, going to leap at Vaggie only to find she could barely move. It all happened so quickly in her mind but her body wouldn’t respond. Slowly Vaggie walked up instead picking up a tray of food and setting it on Lute’s lap. 

Of course it was hard for neither of them to react as though they were on the same side but Vaggie began it, “Here we want to rehabilitate you and get you sent to heaven. Just like every. Other. Sinner. Here.” The words backed a punch in Lute, each word like a painful jab. Adam had truly cast her out and the discoloration on her bandages on her legs and arms proved as much.

Red. 

“But first we need to get you better, how are you feeling?” The moth demon continued, though her voice sounded more genuine now and Lute went frigide. The horrible grotesque feeling reached all over her body and she rested her head back, succumbing to the reality in front of her, “Like shit.” She replied and Vaggie smirked. “Welcome to the beginning of recovery then.”
