The Hellfire Exotic Club Part 1

September was way too far away for the release of this story. It was just becoming too fun not let you see it. So here's a sneaky peek before my hiatus on the 18th.

Rated M This story is not for the under 18 set. Like this whole story deals with sex and nudity. Might even make it a hard E to be on the safe side.

Summary: The Hellfire Exotic Club was the hottest ticket around. The best male and female exotic dancers in the whole god damn state with each night a deadly sin. When owner, Eddie loses his Envy because the guy fucked the wrong person, he has a week to find a replacement. But when Steve auditions with Julia Michael's Heaven, it turns the entire club on its head.

Now Eddie must deal with the usual nut jobs trying to close him down, dancers not liking the new changes, and his former Envy causing trouble, all this on top of having budding feelings for Steve.

But if Eddie is anything, he's resilient and stubborn. Come hell or high water, him and his club is going to come out of this just fine.

~

The Hellfire Erotic Club was the hottest ticket in town. Known for two things. It’s hellish theme and its eccentric owner and lead dancer Eddie Munson. It was mainly a burlesque club with some stripping involved. But that’s not why people came in droves. Eddie was Lucifer, king of hell and his dancers all had demon names: Lilith, Astraroth, Mephistopheles, Beelzebub, Leviathan just to name a few.

There were women dancers, but the main draw was men in shapes and sizes, dancing. Each night was a deadly sin. With Lucifer on Saturday night as Pride. The only colors allowed seemed to be red or black with little variation, but what they lacked in originality they made up for in style.

Their outfits were always the titillation of the crowd even before they came off. Not that they always did. It was entirely up to the dancer. One of everyone’s favorite nights was Mammon the demon of gluttony. He was a heavy set man who could out spin anyone on the pole and always stayed dressed for the whole show. Except on his nights when he was bathed in an glittering yellow glow, he would get as far as just his pants on. Regardless of what did or didn’t take off, Mammon attracted quite the crowd every Tuesday night.

Eddie loved what he did. His demons were the talk of the town and everyone who was anyone came through his doors. But he had a problem. His demon of Envy Billy Hargrove got caught with the daughter of the mayor. The very married daughter of the mayor. By her husband on what was supposed to be their wedding anniversary.

And while Eddie liked to court controversy, not that kind. It was bad for business if people thought they could get into the g-strings of his dancers. It set a far too dangerous precedent that he really didn’t want to set.

Billy got nasty when Eddie decided to let him go, which only further cemented his decision to do so.

So now he was down a deadly sin and only three days to fill it. To say that he was sweating bullets would be an understatement. He was on his thirteenth audition in as many days and his head was pounding. This was the last one of the day and then he could go home and wallow in his misery.

Then the first notes of Heaven by Julia Michaels filled the air and Eddie looked up. The dancer was gorgeous. He was fit in a way that reminded him of classical ballet dancers. Thin and yet strength showing in every step.The way he moved was like wind on the water. Each move, each step was sensual and sexy as hell.

Eddie scrambled to find the guy’s application. Steve Harrington. And yep, three years of classical ballet at the local dance company, two years on the pole at strip club. And...oh that was interesting. A year teaching pole dancing at a local fitness club to rich bitches.

The song ended and the guy cracked a wide grin at him, nearly ending Eddie’s life. He was elbowed in the ribs by his choreographer and partner in crime, Chrissy Cunningham.

“What made you decide to try out for this position?” Eddie asked, still looking at the application.

“You’ll probably laugh,” Steve said with a disarming smile, “but me and my best friend have always worked together and she recently got a job here as a waitress, so I thought why the hell not, and decided to audition after I saw the flier when I dropped her for her first day of work last night.”

“Robin Buckley is your best friend?” Chrissy asked, her eyes wide.

This time it was Eddie’s turn to elbow his best friend. She already had a crush on the new waitress.

“I have to say,” Chrissy said, leaning on the table with her elbows, “the size of your balls of bringing a song titled ‘Heaven’ to club known for its Satan iconography must be really off the charts.”

Steve threw his head back and laughed. “Did it work?”

Chrissy and Eddie shared a glance. And then Eddie leaned forward next to her, mirroring her pose.

“Yes,” he said with a matching grin, “You’re hired.”

~

To say Eddie was impressed with Steve’s dancing would have been an understatement. The guy had moves that he had created himself. Hell he had an entire routine on a chair that made the “Flashdance” one look tame in comparison.

Fuck, even Chrissy was super close in asking him to teach her some things, because on top of dancing like a sex god, he had the patience of a saint when it came to teaching.

Eddie had fifteen dancers, well technically fourteen because he was one of the dancers. But he had seven principle dancers (again including himself) and eight backup dancers. All named after demons and evil gods. Beings that belonged to hell.

But they were having a hard time figuring out what to name Steve. Billy had gone by Asmodeus even though he had been Envy and not Lust. Envy because he wanted the job of Lust soooo badly.

Steve was okay with taking up the position of Envy. He was the new guy after all and beggars couldn’t be choosers.

But there was something about Steve that made it hard to pick a name for him. So he went hunting down demon and devil names. He already had quite the roster of best Hell had to offer with his backup dancers.

Like his Seven Deadly Sins they were all shapes and sizes, not being able to get work anywhere else because they weren’t the ‘ideal’ body type for dancers.

Fuck, three of his Sins weren’t even ‘thin’ or ‘built’ by any stretch of the imagination. Mammon, Lamia, and Rosier all had body types that would have made other erotic clubs balk.

Mammon, his Greed was more like the comic book character The Kingpin. He was built like a tank and was fucking sexy for it. His curly hair was styled 1920s chic and it made for a rare week day being popular.

Lamia, his Wrath was voluptuous and curvy. She wasn’t ‘fat’ or whatever, but she wasn’t dancer sleek either. Her dusky skin tone and long black hair made her exotic and interesting. On the nights it wasn’t her Sin, she did belly dancing and she was enchanting.

And finally Rosier, his Lust. This is where Eddie courted controversy in the best ways. People could get behind Wrath or Greed not being conventionally attractive, but Lust? That was different. Rosier was a black man who was built, but not in a Chippin’ Dales or Magic Mike kind of way, more in a boxer kind of way. He was barrel-chested with thick thighs. But there was no doubt Rosier was the it guy for all the bachelorette and even a couple of bachelor parties.

Yeah, sure, Gluttony, Sloth, and now Envy were all dancer builds, but the fact that the other half wasn’t? That’s what made The Hellfire Exotic Club so special. That’s what got people through the door every night.

While Hellfire was open every night, Eddie was the only dancer who was there all week. He was the owner and had to be there, but he always made sure each dancer had one night if not two a week they had off.

That was another thing that they were having trouble finding for Steve, what he could do on the nights he wasn’t Envy. Because everyone had something. Stella, his Lamia belly danced; Jeff, his Lust, sang; and even his Sloth, Gareth, played piano.

It wasn’t until Chrissy suggested that the two of them, her and Steve, dancing together as angels on their off days, did it all click.

Steve would dance Monday through Saturday as Samael and then “fall” during his final dance with Chrissy on Saturday to dance Sunday as the envious Satan.

Plus it gave the club a chance to shake up the program in a way that Eddie would have never thought of before hiring Steve.

“And five, six, seven, eight!” Chrissy called out time as Steve hurried to learn a new a dance in three days.

He stumbled and the whole dance crew gasped.

“Hey, Dingus!” Robin called from behind the bar were she was learning the different drinks for Wrath Thursday. “Don’t break a leg, this isn’t theater and they really don’t want to have to hire someone else. Plus, I’d kill you.”

Eddie and Chrissy gave each other concerned glances before Steve burst out laughing.

“If you think this is so easy, bitch,” Steve sassed back, “you get up here and shake your ass and I’ll do the waiting table bit!”

Robin gasped in outrage. “How dare you presume that I couldn’t!”

“Robs,” he said with a sneer, “you have all the coordination of a three hour old baby giraffe and the spots to match!”

She threw down her towel and chased him around the stage, both of them giggling like children.

“Cher,” Eddie said to Chrissy, “how’s that crush coming now?”

Chrissy hit his arm. “Oh yeah, it was bad enough when she was just a cute waiter, but now she’s got this weird sibling relationship with the hottest dancer you’ve ever hired, this is way worse.”

“Glad you made the distinction about hired dancer,” he huffed. “If I‘m not the fairest of them all, I start throwing apples.”

Chrissy’s eyes lit up. “Ooh, we should have a fairy tale night where everyone dances to different fairy tales. With your looks you’d be perfect for Snow White. The pale skin, the dark hair, just add the red lips and it would be perfect.”

Eddie rubbed his chin. “We could even do it on a Sunday, because most of the fairy tales are about envy right? Snow White, Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, even Hansel and Gretel. Start coming up with fairy tales you’d want to do and we start practicing for it.”

“You’ve got it, babe!” Chrissy said with a kiss on his cheek. She turned back to the stage. “Hey Robin! You can’t murder the talent.”

Robin stopped in her tracks and turned slowly toward the front where Eddie, Chrissy and the rest of the dancers were watching their antics with varying degrees of amusement and shock.

“Shit.” She turned back to Steve. “You live today, dingus. But I’m watching you.”

Steve laughed out loud, his head thrown back, his eyes crinkled, his nose scrunched up, and his mouth wide open as his body just shook with the mirth. “You love me!”

Robin put one hand on her hip and tapped her lips thoughtfully. “Yeah, I suppose.” She went over and kissed his cheek before hopping off the stage and trotting back to the bar to finish being trained.

Chrissy blinked at Steve for a moment before shaking herself off. “Starting at the top?”

“Sure thing!” he chirped happily and got back into starting position.

“Hey, Chris,” one of the backup dancers said shyly.

“Oh hey, Stolas,” she greeted him by his demon name. “What’s up?”

Stolas chewed on his lip and twisted his fingers together. “This might be out of line, but I think I know why he keeps flubbing up at the turn on the second chorus.”

The whole place went dead silent. Eddie opened his mouth to tell him to keep to his place when Steve spoke up.

“Why’s that?” he asked jutting his chin up.

“He’s trying to do the turn as he would in ballet and pirouette,” Stolas said meekly. “But it’s coming off too weak for the move, so he keeps falling.”

Chrissy and Eddie’s jaws dropped. They weren’t the type to see a ballet much less having danced it. Chrissy had a background in cheer and gymnastics, while Eddie had always done burlesque. Eddie knew what to look for when interviewing dancers, of course. There was a certain style and strength that came from doing ballet. Hell, Steve wasn’t his only former ballet dancer. Stolas was one. Leviathan was another. He even had a couple others that started in ballet but moved to other styles of dance.

But Eddie wouldn’t have known why Steve kept fumbling that part.

“Can you show him how to do the turn?” he asked.

Stolas nodded. Eddie waved his arm in the direction of the stage and Stolas hopped up to the stage.

“All right, Stolas,” Steve said with a grin. “Show me what you’ve got.”

And fucking hell, the instant Stolas got into position Eddie could immediately tell the difference between Steve’s and Stolas’ stances. Stolas planted his feet differently.

Eddie watched as Stolas and Chrissy worked together to help Steve get the dance down.

God, he loved his people.

On nowhere else could he have found such a great combination of dancers and good people. Yeah, he got to dance with his best friends, play his guitar, operate a club that was world renown, but knowing that he attracted good people, too? Yeah, that was what made Hellfire so special.

And Steve was going to fit right in.

His fist locks tight around it; gives one long, slow jerk. The sensitive skin moves with his fingers. His hips shift forward, body asking him for more – and he obliges. He glides through his curved hand, halting when his fingers reach the dark hair at his hilt, slowly soaking under the messy spray from overhead.

He hasn’t slept all night. Not a wink.

It isn’t anything new. He rarely sleeps anymore; prefers to let himself drift in and out, teetering against the edge of slumber and then pulling himself back again. Staying in this life, instead of being dragged into a past one. Stops the nightmares. Stops the memories.

Usually, he can let himself rest, though. Let his eyes close over, let his ears deafen to the sounds of the world around him. Heavy footsteps fade into a numb knocking on the walls, the steady heartbeat sound of the QZ. Roars and yells from the street below are the blood twisting violently through the veins of the place.

But tonight – fucking hell, tonight. Tonight, he lies and stares at the distorted rectangle of amber light on the wall opposite his bed. When he closes his eyes, it’s still there. He can still see the peels of torn wallpaper, the way the harsh glow from the streetlight outside licks at the faded pattern like a flame, dousing his apartment in some ugly shade of nauseating orange. Like he’s living inside a fucking pill bottle.

Tonight, he teeters nowhere. He looks up at the pale ceiling – rotten paint slowly succumbing to the claim of the brown stain of damp. He looks at the apartment door – considers how easy it would be to kick down, how little effort it’d take against the rusted lock and molded wood. And he looks out of the window – to the inky black sky canvasing a jungle of buildings and power lines, lit by the moonlight of watchtowers.

Eventually, morning comes. The first break of day replaces that harsh, dirty glow with something softer, fresher. He runs his palms down his face, digs the heels into his eye sockets until he sees stars. His fingers swipe through his beard. His lashes flutter open.

It can’t be later than six. The sun’s only just clawing herself over the horizon. Peering over the ledge of his window, shooting like a bullet through the bottle he left on the table last night, rays refracting all over his kitchen.

When he pulls the mottled white sheets from his body and shifts to the side of the bed, there’s a tightness between his legs. A stiffness. It beckons his chin lower, draws his puffy eyes to the swelling in his boxers. The outline of himself, rock solid through the worn cotton. He curses under his breath and pushes from the mattress, groaning at the ache of his back and the throb of his cock.

The water only runs warm when no one in the surrounding apartments is using it. His only neighbor spends every night on the streets – Joel doesn’t bother to question why. He would’ve heard, though, if the guy had already hammered back into his own apartment; if he’d slammed the door shut, hinges rattling; if he’d sank into squealing bed springs. Joel would know.

So he hauls the curtain back, cranks the metal knob in a white-knuckle fist. The shower coughs up some pathetic spatter of freezing cold water, soaking the ends of his graying hair; and then, right before he yanks if off again with a sigh of contempt, it surrenders a burst of stronger, warmer water.

He holds an open palm under it for a few seconds. Turns his hand over, lets the water break across his wide knuckles. He feels a strain beneath his underwear. He tugs the fabric down and steps beneath the stream.

His cock slaps against the trail of rough, dark hair dappling his groin as he moves. He growls as the water cascades down his chest, running over the curve of his stomach and teasing tiny, pattering kisses along the wide base.

He glances down at himself. Spits into the palm of his hand, then uses it to cup his heavy shaft, running the pad of his thumb up the vein pulling at the surface of his skin. He shivers when he reaches the head, red and raw and angry, and swipes at the precome beaded there. He drags it back down, spreading it gently around, the skin glistening with saliva and sweat and arousal.

His fist locks tight around it; gives one long, slow jerk. The sensitive skin moves with his fingers. His hips shift forward, body asking him for more – and he obliges. He glides through his curved hand, halting when his fingers reach the dark hair at his hilt, slowly soaking under the messy spray from overhead.

The direct stream of water is broken by the arch of his shoulders, splashing against the nape of his neck. The droplets of water race down his spine, sinking between the valleys on his back where his body slopes and swells with muscle. As he tightens his grip with his right hand, his left jumps up, palm smacking heavily against the grimy tiled wall.

His head dips, eyes full with the sight of his cock fucking his hand. At fifty, living in a wasteland with little companions outside of those he nudges past in the hallway on his way to the ration line, he forgot how it felt to fucking do this. He feels like a damn teenager – all hormones and chasing. Chasing a high, chasing a release. He doesn’t even remember the last time he felt himself this hard in his own hand.

It feels fucking good. Feels sweet. He smirks, letting his eyes slowly close, and imagines it isn’t his own hand wrapped around himself. Imagines the gentler, nimbler grip of someone else. The touch of another person, the warmth. The intimate feel of them around him, giving him what he needs, listening to the sounds he lets fall from his lips, responding to them. Doing what he asks for. Doing what he begs for.

He thinks of the last woman he had wrapped around him. Her pussy – warm, wet, velvet soft – squeezing him until he came. He was careful then – pulled out in time to coat her belly and the inside of her thigh with his come.

Right now, in the shower, with his eyes closed and his fist beating furiously up and down his length – he doesn’t pull out. He fills her deep with his seed. Fucks her so good until she draws in around him, pulling the orgasm from his body, taking everything he gives her. Every last fucking drop.

His wrist jacks. He whimpers, breathless and weak. It’s drowned by the time it hits the flow of water. She’s such a good girl. Takin’ it so good. Lettin’ me fill her up so nice. Prettiest pussy I ever felt, sweetest sounds I ever heard.

He’s close. His hips start to falter. Belly sucks in, tightening around the coil he’s desperate to let snap. Harder, faster, tighter. His finger curls around the top of his shaft, squeezing with his thumb to tug just below his tip. Harder. Faster. Fuckin’ – tighter.

“Fuck,” Joel breathes, and he realizes his entire body weight is being held up by his one hand, splayed out on the slippery wall in front of him. “Fuck, darlin’…”

His left hand drops to cup his balls, kneading slowly as his right focuses hard on nailing the arrow in the center of the target. The bullseye. He thrusts into his fist. His head falls back as it approaches. Mouth agape, filthy moans scratching from the bottom of his throat to the ceiling. The shower pours onto his chest, water trickles down his hairy torso. It’s following the rush, fleeing southward. Thundering through his body as his lungs start to freeze up, breath solidifies in his throat. His back begins to arch. Knees bend a little. And then –

His head snaps back down with a grunt to watch his release; thick, white ropes spurting from the tip of his cock and coating the tile, running down the wall towards the drain. The moans and curses which slip from his tongue follow at its heels, the water rushing them off to the shower floor and ushering them down the steel pipe. He groans, the noise reverberating against the shower walls, the echo of his own depraved sounds relaying in his ears only spurring him on more.

He's panting, hand slowing as he works his way through his climax. White heat floods over his body, crashing like tidal waves on his shoulders. His breath slowly returns, chest rising and falling again as his lungs restart, regain function. He feels dizzy. He feels shaky. His hand pulls up to the tile again, and his arm tenses as he leans forward, cock still dripping with come.

When he feels empty, satisfied, his hand stops. Holds his soft dick steady at the base, fingers gently massaging his balls. He’s still regaining composure, breath still finding a rhythm again. His entire body feels alive, thrumming and pulsating with energy and blood and the aftermath of his orgasm.

The water chokes in the shower head. The flow disappears, and then returns a second later, weaker and colder. The neighbor.

When he can feel his knees again, when his head feels like it’s back on his neck, body whole again – his weak fist twists the valve off.

running on e / pt. 2

--- luigi breaks into the wrong apartment ---

notes: not sure how many parts this will end up being but I'm having so much fun drawing it out :)) might end up giving this more of a plot than I initially intended to as we go on. as always, your feedback, thoughts, and whatnot are much appreciated.

warnings: gun play, edging, super slight consent play, one tiny mention of blood, sub!luigi but also dom!luigi cause who can pick just one!

“It’s kinda fucked up how much you seem to like shoving that in my mouth, you know,” Luigi taunts as he stands slowly, towering above the girl where she remains seated, hands halfway raised as if only partially convinced that he might be in any real danger. “You might wanna, like, talk to a professional about that."

“Do you think I’m fucking playing with you?” She kills the safety audibly, cocking the weapon. 

“Now take your fucking clothes off. Slowly. Starting with that shirt,” the girl demands as she settles back in her chair and back into the more dominant role. 

“Getting shot would be the least of my problems,” he murmurs testily beneath his breath as he begins to undress. “What was that?” the girl retorts, leaning forward. 

Sirens erupt in the distance and Luigi flinches, freezing with his shirt only halfway off as if intentionally teasing her with just a taste of that firmly structured abdomen. He stays that way, trembling almost imperceptibly, until the foreboding song has drained from earshot. The girl remains quiet, patient. She understands. 

The sun has mostly left the wintry city outside, plunging the room in a blue glow that only adds to the drama of their scene. When Luigi finally tears his eyes from the window to look back at the girl there is a tinge of apology in his expression. The pair breathe in unison.

“Can- can you at least tell me your name?” Luigi asks with a new edge of shaky uncertainty. The girl can detect that he’s lost the plot, been wrenched back to the shallows of cruel reality, and lost his previously eager submission to her. She empathizes but takes her time weighing potential responses all the same. Something in her wants to maintain anonymity just a little longer, wants him to earn her name. But she can also sense his current vulnerability, his need to be soothed by some kind of human connection, be it false or transactional.

“Ok, for now, let’s say my name is…Deny,” she finally replies and it’s so corny that she can’t help but phrase it like a question. He snorts almost immediately, all the warmth returning to his demeanor as he takes his shirt the rest of the way off.

“That is so fucking dumb. Deny?”

“It’s not dumb, it’s just…on the nose,” the girl, Deny, insists, reaching up to graze the gun against his attractive nosebridge to emphasize her point.

“Deny. Deny? Deny, it’s okay, I guess it could almost be a name. For now—”

“Luigi,” all humor falls from Deny’s face as she regains her sternness, shooting a pointed look at the waistband of his jeans. 

“Right, I’m sorry…Deny.” Luigi stifles his cocky laughter as his hands fumble excitedly with the clasp and zipper. Then, standing before her with his boxers doing little to hide his arousal, it takes a second intentionally narrow-eyed look for him to realize that she’d asked him to undress fully.

Deny stands as Luigi removes the last article of clothing and she keeps the gun trained on him despite the exhilaration that is stifling all rational thought inside her. She takes a few steps back so she can see all of him at once.

“Good?” He asks smugly and his voice shakes her from the trancelike state.

“Put your fucking hands on your head. And walk. I don’t wanna hear your voice again until I tell you you can speak.”

A few silent minutes later, Luigi is splayed out in a tub of warm bubbly water with his wrists bound yet again, this time behind his head. Deny sits on her knees atop a bathmat, the gun resting on the closed toilet lid, caressing his body with a washcloth, tormenting him with her intentionally light hand. She touches him, cleans him, everywhere except where he wants it most and the subtle ways his body betrays his desire only serve to inflame her more: the jerky clench of his musculature, the cutting inhales, the sultry bronze eyes that whine and plead wordlessly. Deny can feel his gaze boring into her but she doesn’t give him the satisfaction of looking back, biding her time. 

“So, you do weird shit like this with a lotta guys or—?” Luigi finally breaks. Deny slaps the washcloth down beside her with force and finally grabs his bulge beneath the water with both her hands, each focused on pleasuring a different part. From there she starts to stroke him deftly at an insistently even pace.

“Fuuuuuck.” Luigi’s composure is shattered and his skull hits the tiles audibly as he arches his back to meet her fists. Though initially relieved at the satisfaction of being touched where he needed most, Luigi starts to panic at how quickly he nears release. 

“Uh, um, fuck, no, hang on. Mmm, my God, no, no, wait, you’re gonna make me cum way too fast. Stop, stop, shit, stop.” He splashes water about messily in an attempt to dodge her rhythmic hands. Deny indeed denies, pulling her hands from him just seconds before he can finish. But as soon as she does so, he’s crying out in frustration and looking at her angrily. 

“What? You told me to stop, I stopped,” Deny spits and he glowers. “What, baby?” She says it softer this time, tilting her head to meet his gaze. “What? You didn’t want me to stop?”

“No, I mean, I don’t know, I don’t know,” he looks at her expectantly, as if attempting to communicate his wants psychically. 

“You’re being shy all the sudden, what is it?” Deny can’t help but smile at just how submissive Luigi really is proving to be for her at this moment. He gazes at her luridly through heavy-lidded eyes, lips glistening with saliva, like he’s finally ready to obey. “You like pretending you don’t want this, huh, that what it is? Acting like it’s so, so fucked up to let a stranger use you?”

“It is so, so fucked up,” Luigi manages, his voice already raspy, lusty. 

“Okay, fine, it’s too fucked up for you? Fine. We can just sit here and stare at the wall together until the cops show up,” Deny crosses her arms on her chest and rests her weight against the toilet bowl. A beat of thoughtful silence passes, Luigi sulking. 

“I’ve just never done anything like this. Like fucked this way, I mean, or been fucked this way.” Luigi pouts and she can tell he’s embarrassed. He swallows thickly before continuing, “I’ve never, like, not been in charge. Didn’t think I’d like it. But now, here with you, I guess, I don’t know, I really fucking like it. I don’t know why it feels so hard to admit.”

“So would you like to keep talking about it? Or would you like me to do this?” Deny wraps one hand loosely around his cock as if she doesn’t care, fondling him lazily, and he releases a drawn out noise halfway between a hum and a growl.

“I just—oh, fuck, ugh—I just don’t get your fucking obsession with torturing me. Like, hmmm, oh God, most girls just want me to fuck them the minute my pants come off.”

“I mean, yeah, I can see why,” Deny snickers, intensifying her grip and pace in a way that makes him hiss. “But doesn’t it feel so good to have to work for what you want? If anyone could understand that, it’s you. Besides, if you’re patient, you’ll get to fuck the shit out of me later.”

“Ugh, yes, fuck, it feels really fucking good, you’re right. To—fuck—ing—earn—your—pussy,” Luigi struggles to articulate himself through the tides of his pleasure. As he gets harder and harder, closer and closer for a second time to what he knows will be a gut-wrenching orgasm, he starts to lean his head toward Deny, tongue swatting across his lips as if to call her attention to them. 

“What else do you wanna earn, huh?” Deny taunts, catching on to his craving right away. “My mouth?” She whispers, before pushing her lips against his jugular where she plants a soothing kiss before nipping him with her incisors. Luigi moans loudly at that, pelvis stuttering in a way that suggests he’s mere seconds from unravelling. Deny cruelly releases his cock again, this time pressing her wet hands to his cheeks and drawing his face to hers forcefully for a kiss that borders on cannibalism. The noises he makes against her are keen, his cock so wet and hard that it slaps his stomach audibly, and she’s pleased.

“You’re so fucking mean,” he whines when she finally draws back to take in his flushed face, the twin birthmarks dotting each cheek, the sultry brown iris seeping from his blown out pupils. 

“I’m mean? You must really want me to stop then, huh, baby?” She rubs the bridge of his nose with the tip of her own, the proximity allowing her to really enjoy the full breadth of each of his sounds. 

“No, please, I really don’t want you to stop this time, please,” Luigi begs and Deny relishes in how unabashed he is, finally submitting himself fully to her. He is brave, she thinks, smirking as the water sloshes where he bucks his hips, cock gaining friction against nothing but lavender-scented soap bubbles.

“Hm. Not convincing,” Deny leans fully away to Luigi’s blatant dismay. 

“Fuck, please? Please, please, please,” he draws the last one out, brows scrunching together pathetically. She just sits back, biding her time, relishing in his pleas. “How many fucking times do I have to ask? I said please. Now I get why you gave yourself that dumb fucking nickname. Was that your way of telling me you were gonna do this? God, fuck, you’re fucking crazy, so fucking crazy. Please. Do I have to say it in another language, huh? Dai, toccami, per favore, per favore, non riesco, per favore…”

“I’m really enjoying this,” Deny giggles and Luigi lets out a frustrated grunt, hips still churning, his cock protruding angrily from the foamy water.

“You think I can’t tell that you’re fucking enjoying this? Fucking psycho. I mean, fuck, sorry, sorry, just please? I’m sorry for talking shit, I’m sorry for breaking the lock on your window, I’m sorry for scaring you. I’m sorry, I’m sorry I just need you to make me cum so bad right now, I’m actually going fucking crazy. So, please, per favore, whatever, just fucking touch me—”

Luigi’s agonized expressions—and his whole being, actually—is like a sexed-up hypnotist’s spiral, luring Deny in, tempting her to break her dominant facade. And finally she relents, working his cock so deftly, desperately, with both hands that he cums in record time, so hard that it hits her bottom lip and soils her tank top. 

“Fuck, fuck, fuck,” is all he can muster between animalistic groans, pulling so hard against the rope that his wrists are speckled with a tiny bit of blood. “What the fuck?” He adds after his breath has evened enough that he can speak coherently. 

“You’re lucky you kidnapped someone who can handle your crazy ass cause…I’m on some…real Italian stallion shit…” Luigi jokes, biting his lip sarcastically for the punchline. 

The pair’s eyes meet and they both split instantly with incessant laughter that says more than words can.

“I can’t believe— how fucking good that felt,” Luigi mumbles, still panting slightly. 

“Oh, yeah?” Deny reaches over to open the drain and then raises herself up shakily to fetch a towel from the bathroom door, wiping his cum off on her hand but not before trying just a lick of it while her back is turned. 

“Yeah,” Luigi clips and Deny is startled when she looks back to see him already on his feet, hands freed from their constraints, reaching for his gun. “You’re really fucking bad at tying me up, you know that?” 

“Hm, I guess,” Deny murmurs, pressing her back to the opposite wall and clutching the towel to her chest as he takes hold of the weapon. 

“You not gonna bring that over here for me?” Luigi flicks his chin toward the towel, brows raised, voice still fucked-out.

“Mmm, I dunno,” she lets out shakily, her chest heaving, some of his cum still glistening at her collarbone. Deny’s not afraid of him, not really. But she can sense that Luigi likes these games just as much as she does.

“Just bring it here,” he tries to make his voice gentle, holding out the hand that isn’t around the gun.

Deny only sinks further into the wall, pushing her bottom lip out slightly, shaking her head no petulantly. He takes one step out of the tub and she forces herself to flinch. Luigi simpers ever so slightly and she can almost hear the internal conflict unfolding in that mind of his. 

Please, don’t kill me, please, don’t kill me. Please don’t kill me, Mr. Ghostface, I wanna be in the sequel! Deny thinks, praying that if her acting isn’t convincing enough maybe he’ll be able to read her thoughts the way she sometimes thinks she can read his. 

“Fuck, you’re fucking looking at me like, hmmm, I don’t know,” Luigi’s eyes darken and something feral seems to overtake him as his cock twitches with interest yet again between his thighs. “You’re looking at me like I’m gonna hurt you.” 

That’s it, Deny thinks, blinking pitifully up at him, come and get me. She acts fast, throwing open the bathroom door and sprinting to her bedroom, making a show of not being able to shut herself inside in time. 

Luigi captures her almost instantly, one arm like binding at her waist, the other in a chokehold around her neck. His cock is hard against her and so is the pistol pressing into her shoulder. 

They find themselves in a familiar predicament, braced before the mirror, breathing furiously as their reflections absorb each other. Luigi’s nostrils flare when he recognizes that taunting glimmer in Deny’s eyes.

“I knew you’d fucking like that,” she rasps out, voice impeded partially by the pressure he applies to her neck. 

“Fuck you. I’m not a bad person. Fuck you,” Luigi cuts as if trying to reassure himself more than her, his voice plumbing new depths. 

“No?” Deny sneers, just to test his limits. 

“No. No. You fucking know I’m not. But you also know I give people what they fucking deserve. And you know what you deserve right now?” His low snarl against her ear makes her so desperate for him that she’s clenching her thighs. 

“Hm?” Deny moans breathily as she attempts to merge her every atom with his.

“Get on the bed and find out.”

A Lack of Engagement Pt. 4: To Have and to Hold

[Previous Entry: Here.] Below the cut.

Rain is sleeping on the couch.

More accurately, he's laying on it, very much awake and contemplating his life and the decisions that have lead him to this point.

But, physically, mentally, emotionally... He's sleeping on the couch.

Swiss taunts him about it.

Asks him how he managed to get in trouble with Dew this time.

Truth is, Rain put himself out here.

He'd given Dew the bed, knowing even if he could sleep anywhere, HE was the one that deserved to be ousted from their bedroom, even if it had been Rain's to begin with.

Dew's allowed to be upset.

Just as much as Rain's allowed to... do this.

Avoid the situation.

Avoid Dew.

Swiss tries to get him to open up about what happened during their date after getting his fill of tormenting him, but Rain rolls onto his side, facing the back of the cushions instead.

"That bad, huh?" Swiss remarks, sitting down by Rain's feet, "Dew not like your surprise?"

"...I'm just..." Rain sighs, looking over his shoulder at his friend, "I don't know why Dew... Swiss, why does Dew like me?"

"What?"

Rain sits up.

"What about me-" he pokes himself in the chest, "-made Dew fall for someone like me?"

"I... You expect me to know something like that?" Swiss asks, looking terribly confused, then sits back, thinking, "You two must have had a pretty serious fight if you're wondering about stuff like that..."

"...He doesn't want to talk to me." Rain confesses, drawing his knees up to his chest, "I said something hurtful and... Honestly, I don't think I can walk it back, even though I feel like... I don't know."

His mouth wobbles a bit.

"I dunno, I don't want to lose my best friend..." he sniffs, and Swiss pulls him into a hug.

"Aw, buddy, I'm sure Dew will forgive you, but just in case, what did you say so I can know if I need to be stopping Dew from hitting you or helping him?"

Rain stiffens.

"Uh..."

Swiss slides his arm up slightly, around his neck.

"Awfully quiet there, Raincloud."

"Uhhhhh..." Rain laughs nervously, "...I plead the fifth?"

Swiss pulls him into a headlock.

"Sorry, man, I know that's code for 'I fucked up and I know it', so I have to do it."

"Do wha-HAH!" Rain squirms trying to escape Swiss' hold as he gives him a noogie, "HEY!"

After a minute or so, Swiss releases him, and Rain holds his head in his hands, groaning.

"Go talk to your husband already." he says, patting the water ghoul on the shoulder, "Exiling yourself to the couch is just gonna cause more problems. C'mon, up, up!"

Swiss pulls him to his feet, brushing him off.

"Now march off to that bedroom, get into bed, and tell your husband you're sorry for being a major ass!"

"I'm going, I'm going-" Rain grumbles, wandering off down the hallway, pausing to look back at Swiss, who salutes him, then does an inverted cross on his chest and then a prayer gesture, "-You stop that!"

"Not on your life!"

Rain rolls his eyes and continues down the hallway.

Worst case scenario, he enters the bedroom and Dew kills him on the spot, best case scenario, he's asleep... lukewarm scenario, he's awake and not so murderous that he won't let Rain climb into bed.

Reaching his bedroom door, Rain pops it open just a crack to see if he can locate Dew, but finds the room dark, save for the glow of the power cable on his laptop, which he usually nudges a book in front of at night to keep it from shining in his face when he sleeps.

In the dull glow, he can make out the vaguest silhouette of something people shaped on the bed; Dew is tucked into the farthest corner of the mattress, his body curled around something, either fast asleep or close to it.

Stepping inside, Rain shuts the door behind him and makes his way over to the bed.

He lingers there, watching Dew shift in his sleep, he's wrapped around Rain's pillow, holding it close.

Rain feels guilty.

Without turning on the lights, Rain rummages through his dresser for his pajamas, and slides into the on suite to get changed, before climbing into the bed beside him.

He starts off on the very edge, not wanting to disturb his sleep, but at some point, after laying there for what feels like an eternity, Rain rolls over closer to where Dew is, and reaches out, tugging at his midsection and pulling him into the curve of his body.

Dew makes a little noise of discontent, but settles shortly thereafter.

Pressed against him like this, Rain feels... strangely soothed.

He breathes out and allows his eyes to drift shut, chin resting on top of Dew's head.

"'m sorry..." he mumbles.

"...I'm sorry, too."

Rain blinks.

"...You're awake?"

"Couldn't sleep... felt lonely."

Rain frowns.

"I'm... Dew, I'm sorry I said what I said earlier." he admits, "This is all just... a lot. Not you, but, going from friends to this... It all feels like it's going a bit too fast, like I don't have time to process what's happened, or how I feel about it all... and I know it's my fault."

"Kind of, yeah." Dew replies with a yawn.

"Yeah? Aren't you supposed to comfort me and say it's not my fault and that you forgive me?" Rain jokes, but when Dew begins to move in his hold, he thinks he's messed up again, "I-"

Dew rotates so that he's facing Rain, coming practically nose to nose with him due to how close they are.

"I can forgive you for getting us into this mess, but I'm not gonna say it's not your fault. Both of us tested the rumor, and you may have heard about it first, but I went along with it. Fuckin'... it takes two to tango." Dew says, "And, yeah, I'm upset about what you said, but, I dunno... laying here, thinking about things on my own, I'd rather have my heartbroken then lose my friend... even if it's my friend who's breaking my heart."

"You... really like me that much?" Rain asks, and Dew headbutts him slightly, "Ow..."

"I do, have for a long time now... Sorry if that's weird."

"It's not weird... I have..." Rain pinches his eyes shut, "I have feelings for you, but I know they're not the same. It's... Fuck, this is awkward."

"You don't have to force yourself to tell me..."

"No, it's... Dew, you make me feel..." he clears his throat, "...Physically speaking..."

"You don't feel attracted to me?" Dew offers, and Rain panics.

"No! No, I think you're fucking hot as Hell!" he shouts, and they can both hear the chorus of annoyed hisses through their door.

"Quiet down!" someone groans, "We don't wanna hear it!"

"Satanas, you two need to get a room in your fucking room..." someone else mutters, muffled by the walls around them.

"...So, you ARE attracted to me, just not... emotionally then?" Dew concludes, "...Okay."

"Okay?"

"I mean... I like you, and I'm pretty sure if we fucked right now it'd really mess me up, because feelings and shit, but... uh... good to know." he says, clicking his tongue, "...You would fuck me though, right?"

"In a heartbeat."

"...That's too slow."

.

.

.

Rain lies awake, a surprisingly chill Dewdrop snuggled into his chest, tail lazily slapping against the blankets now and then.

As long as it's stuff like this, being with Dew... it's manageable.

He can do this.

They already did this before they wound up in this situation, so it's not a big deal.

Except is absolutely is.

If Dew didn't have feelings for him, would they have gone further than this by now?

Was it a mercy that Dew loved him enough to keep them from ruining their friendship?

That Rain has the common sense and decency to realize faking it just to get into Dew's would be wrong, and that even the idea of trying something like that -no matter how much he wants to explore their bodies together- disgusts him beyond all belief?

Rain huffs.

He'd never do that to Dew.

Especially if Rain knows he needs it to mean something.

That if it's HIM, Dew wouldn't be able to get over the hurt of being used like that.

He's more worried about losing his friend than getting his dick wet quite frankly.

But...

Rain bites his lip.

...Someone really needs to tell his junk this is not happening.

Lying here pressed against Dew's body is making it hard to keep his body from reacting, the stimulation is... it's not a lot, but, come to think of it, Rain hadn't gotten laid in a while now, and that dry spell is really making asses of pillows, if that makes any sense at all.

He could seek out someone to sleep with, but, he's also not sure what their -the versions of themselves in this world or whatever it is- boundaries are in terms of cavorting outside of their relationship.

He's not sure if it would raise any red flags to his packmates if he approached one of them for sex, or if their bond was more like that of Cirrus and Cumulus, who explicitly stated the openness of their relationship -save for being emotionally exclusive- before beginning to date.

The uncertainty is enough to keep him cozy in their bed, but another part of him, a small, odd little facet of himself he didn't know existed, wants nothing else but to be with Dew, even if it's cuddling just like this.

Weird.

He’d never been so fucking tense before.

His entire body was as rigid as a board, and he feared that he might snap at any moment, like a rubberband biting at exposed skin. 

He supposed that hurtling toward the ground at full speed might do that to a person. He remembered so clearly the way his body had locked up, bracing for the impact. Amazingly, he seemed to be sore from his head down to his feet. 

He was bruised in odd places. There was a cut on his arm from where a jagged rock had sliced into his flight suit when he landed. But those things weren’t nearly as uncomfortable as the tension he couldn’t seem to alleviate.

He’d considered going for a massage. But he really didn’t have time within the day to schedule such a thing, certainly not with the most high-profile mission of his career on the horizon. There was, however, one solution that could potentially ease that unbearable tension.

That solution just so happened to also share his last name. And what was that solution? Why, his wife, of course.

He knew that all he had to do was say the word and you would take care of him. The only problem was, he didn’t have much time. Between leaving early in the morning, and coming home exhausted in the evenings, he could hardly muster up the energy to ask for it. 

However, one afternoon he was released from work a little earlier than normal. Likely from Captain Mitchell feeling benevolent and giving his pilots a few extra minutes to breathe before it really got down to the nitty-gritty.

Bob knew you’d be home. He’d texted you to make sure of it. You weren’t sure why he’d asked, but you had a feeling. And sure enough, that feeling was confirmed when he practically burst through the door of your rental, eyes slightly wild, normally perfect hair mussed and curling against his sweat-glimmering forehead. 

You knew. He didn’t even have to say anything. 

“Oh, Bobby,” you cooed, and he quite literally whimpered. His knees almost buckled. You had to usher him to the nearest chair so he wouldn’t collapse. “What do you need, honeybun?”

“I-I need…I can’t…oh, I’m so sore and tense and I…”

You took his face in your hand, reaching up to lovingly brush his hair back, fully revealing his handsome face. “You need to be fucked. Is that it?”

His bottom lip quivered. The cobalt in his eyes went dark, almost navy blue in color. “Yes.”

That was all he had to say for you to know exactly what to do. You nodded, standing upright. “Okay. I’ll go get set up. Wait for me to call you upstairs, alright?”

When he nodded, you turned and made your way upstairs. The first thing you did was head into your bedroom and draw the blackout curtains, swathing the room in darkness. It was necessary to set the tone for what was about to follow.

Then, you went about lighting a few candles and setting the mood lighting, turning the room a comforting purple. Once you were satisfied, you continued on to gather everything you would need. The chest you kept under the bed, full of different types of toys. The bag you kept in the closet, containing things you would need during aftercare, such as snacks, wet wipes, water bottles, soothing lotions, and the like.

You finished by stripping down to just your bra and underwear before you finally made your way to the top of the steps and called for Bob. Once you heard the creak of the floor signifying that he was on his way up, you went back to the bedroom and perched on the edge of the bed. 

Moments later, Bob stepped into the room. He stood in the doorway, taking in the sight. You had the lowlights on, keeping the atmosphere calming, free of harsh light. He could already feel himself relaxing, a certain calmness washing over him, even more so when you beckoned him forth.

He knelt before you, and you ran your fingers through his honeyed tresses. "Do you want to talk about it, precious boy?" you asked, but Bob shook his head.

"I just want to forget about the last few days for a little while," he confessed.

You hummed in understanding, and then leaned in close, fingers resting on his jaw as you turned his face toward yours. "Undress for me then.”

You released him, and Bob made quick work of stripping from his uniform, his belly alight with anticipation. He neatly placed his uniform over the chair that sat in the corner. Then, he moved toward the bed, but he didn't sit upon it. Instead, he lowered himself, entirely naked, to his knees before you for a second time.

"Good boy," you praised, reaching down to stroke his cheek. He nuzzled into your hand, realizing how desperate for your touch he was.

All too soon, you stood, slipping away toward the chest of toys. Bob watched intently as you began rummaging through it and gathering items. He saw you get the harness for your strapon out, and he shivered at the thought of what you were going to do to him. His cock had already begun to harden.

"Get on the bed," you instructed, and he obeyed immediately, rising to take a seat on its plush surface. You joined him, carrying a black paddle in your hand along with your harness. He knew what came next, so he quickly turned over onto his stomach, without prompting.

You trailed your hand over his round ass, admiring how it looked in the dim mood lighting. "I'm going to ruin this cute little bottom tonight," you promised. Bob moaned at your words. He hoped you would.

"Now, instead of laying on your stomach, I want you on your hands and knees," you commanded further.

He complied, immediately righting himself and waiting for your next move. You brushed the paddle over his ass, dipping it down between his legs and gently trailing it over his balls, at which he took in a whimpered gasp. It made you smile.

“Before I start, what do you say if you need a break, or you can’t handle it?”

He took in a breath and said, “Palomino,” with confidence.

“We can take as many breaks as you want if you need them.”

“Yes ma’am.”

That response sent a shudder through you.

"Stay still," you commanded, and he braced himself, knowing what was coming. He gritted his teeth as the paddle came in contact with his bare skin. The swat wasn't that hard, but the smack still sent a jolt through him. He knew you were starting out easy, and it would soon grow more intense. But that was what he needed. He wanted to be rendered to tears by the end of it. It was the only way to release the tension he held.

Another whack! landed across his ass. Then another, and another. Bob counted them in his head, wondering when you'd decide to stop. He hoped you wouldn't anytime soon.

You watched him as you administered his punishment, noting the way he responded to it. He was desperate for this, you could tell.

You couldn't help but admire his skin as it began to flush pink from the welts left by the wooden paddle. However, the sounds he was making were even prettier. He gasped and whimpered each time the paddle came in contact with him, body jolting.

"What do you say for your punishment?" You asked, offering another harsh swat.

"Th-thank you, ma’am," he moaned.

"Good boy." You rested a gentle hand against his lower back as you continued, watching as he came unraveled beneath you. “What’s your color?”

“Green,” he sighed blissfully.

He was beginning to melt already. He let himself slip into a state of vulnerability that only you were given the privilege to see. Right there, before you, he'd already begun to succumb to his brewing emotions. The pain rippled through him, heating his skin like a flame. He clutched at the bed covers, writhing against them. You coaxed it all out of him, wringing him out like a damp cloth.

It happened faster than you were anticipating. Halfway through the spanking, the tears began to spill forth, and Bob collapsed against the bed, wracked with sobs. You ceased the punishment then, setting the paddle aside. Quickly, you climbed onto the bed beside him, pulling him into your arms. He buried his face against your chest, crying openly.

You ran your fingers through his soft hair, quietly soothing him. "My precious boy," you cooed, "you took that so well. I'm so proud of you."

You lay there for a long while, as Bob let it all out. He didn't have to feel ashamed of his emotions here. There was no judgment from you, none in the least. You were there to comfort him when he fell apart, and you somehow put him back together again in the process.

After a while, he slowly lifted his head, teary eyes gazing into your own. You smiled, stroking his cheek with your fingertips. "Feel better?" You asked.

He nodded. "Y-yeah," he whispered, lowering his head again, and resting it upon your soft breast. "Thank you."

"Of course, honeybun."

Again, you settled, with your hand in his hair and his head against your chest. But Bob was growing antsy, shifting in your arms. You knew why, and you could soon feel the evidence of it against your thigh. You glanced down, humming softly.

"Oh, sweet boy. That spanking made you so hard, didn't it?" You taunted, and Bob whined deep in his throat.

"Yes ma’am."

You brought your hand down between your bodies, wrapping it around his cock. He gasped at the feeling, hips jolting against you. "Poor thing, I bet you're just aching to come." You began to stroke him slowly, and he watched through hazy eyes.

But he soon grew preoccupied with something else. His hands came up to tug at your bra, and before you knew it, he'd pulled it down, exposing your breasts. He nuzzled his face against the soft flesh, searching for a form of pacification.

You pushed your chest towards him so he could have better access, and soon, his lips were wrapped around a hardened bud, suckling softly. You hummed in pleasure, pressing your body closer to his own.

You remained like that for a while, as you languidly stroked his cock, and he nursed your breast. The heat of arousal warmed you both, deepening your need for each other. Bob whimpered softly when you applied more pressure, stroking him with purpose, and he pulled his mouth away from you to speak.

"If you keep doing that 'm gonna come," he whispered.

"Oh, we can't have that now, can we? When you come tonight, it's going to be with my cock buried inside you, and only then. Do you understand me?" You spoke. Bob nodded, his eyes still glassy from the tears he'd shed.

But you weren't satisfied with just a nod. You gave a warning squeeze to his balls, and he gasped. "What do you say?"

"Yes ma’am," he hissed, and you loosened your grip.

You kissed him, and he melted into it, clearly in need of tenderness tonight. "Don't worry, sweet boy. I'll take good care of you."

You slipped away then, much to his dismay, but you soothed him, informing him that you were just getting things ready. You stood, pulling on the strapon you'd laid out. Bob watched through heavy-lidded eyes as you fastened it in place, and your eyes locked with his as you reached down, stroking the toy as if it were part of your body.

"Get into position. I want you on your back."

Bob obeyed without hesitation while you retrieved a bottle of lube. As you approached, he spread his legs for you, and your gaze fell to his cock resting heavy on his lower abdomen, swollen and pink, dribbling precum onto his skin, aching for attention. You'd give it to him, all in due time.

He seemed to have a pavlovian response to the bottle of lube being opened, and he moaned softly, watching you slick it all over the strapon before you proceeded to prepare his entrance. He shivered at the feeling of your fingers swirling around the sensitive spot before you slipped them inside, prepping him to take you.

Bob sighed softly, and he gazed at you with pleading eyes. "May I please touch myself?" He softly asked.

You considered it for a moment, and nodded. "Go ahead."

He wrapped a large, elegant hand around his cock and began to stroke, never taking his eyes off you as he watched you situate yourself between his legs. Soft hands slid up his sensitive thighs before you pushed them a little further apart. Then you began to slowly inch into him, and Bob gritted his teeth at the feeling of being stretched.

You didn't stop until you were fully seated inside him, and he hissed softly. "Good boy," you praised, "I can tell you've been keeping this cute little ass prepped for me with the plug I told you to wear."

His cheeks tinged pink. "Y-yes. I, uh…I slipped one inside to wear on the drive home. I-I took it out before I came up. Left it in the sink downstairs."

You smiled, ducking down to kiss him. "Such an obedient boy."

Bob moaned at the praise, arching his body into yours. You began slowly working your hips into him, building a steady rhythm that soon had him writhing against the bed. His body was gorgeous in the low, purple-tinged light. You admired the rise and fall of his chest as he gasped, the roll of his sharp pelvis as you pushed into him. There was something almost ethereal about him.

Through it all, he continued to touch himself, palming his hard, leaking cock as his you fucked him. In that very moment, as you offered a particularly deep thrust, you brushed against that deliciously pleasurable spot within him, and he let out a strangled cry.

"Oh! Right there!" he gasped in a high-pitched whine, shivering beneath you.

His encouragement had you quickening your movements, and soon, you'd pushed his hand out of the way, taking over pleasuring him. You reached over, grabbing the bottle of lube and pouring some into your hand before you resumed your stimulation, massaging that big, beautiful cock of his.

Bob gripped the sheets, needing something to hold on to. He didn't care how needy and desperate he got. With other sexual partners, he would have cared. But with you, he could let that submissive part of himself shine through.

He'd never been able to do that with anyone before. No one understood him enough to be able to take care of him in the way only you could. Not that he’d had many sexual partners before you. His first had been his high school girlfriend, when they were young and dumb. His second had been another girl before you. He’d never been able to relax and fully enjoy sex with her. It felt so…impersonal. 

But then, he'd met you. You were everything he’d ever dreamed of. You didn’t treat him like he was a fragile, shy wallflower. You knew that he was capable of greatness. That he was incredibly skilled, wickedly smart, and sharp as a tack.

You also knew what he needed. Knew how to bring him to his knees and make him submit. He found himself melting into a puddle at your feet, submitting to you in a way he'd never done with anyone before.

It had blossomed into so much more. You'd introduced him to the world of the dominant and submissive dynamic. Bob knew of such dynamics. He was a reader, and he read up on many things he was curious about. Including BDSM and the word surrounding it. But he’d never fully delved into it. It was so much more to it than simply being called mommy or daddy.

There was a special level of trust involved. And what Bob hadn't been expecting was the intimate bond that came with it. He had a connection with you he'd never experienced before in his life. He experienced safety and security and a fulfilling emotional intimacy that changed everything for him.

He willingly gave himself to you, and you cherished his submission. Just as you were now.

From above, you smiled down at him, softness showing in your eyes. "You're taking my cock so well, darling boy," you cooed, and he whimpered softly.

"F-feels so good." Tears were threatening to spill from his eyes again. 

Your hand around his cock stroked him with purpose, syncing with your thrusts, and you could tell that he was beginning to lose himself. He bit his lip to hold back a squeal as you went deeper, but that just wouldn't do. "You let those pretty sounds out," you commanded.

He threw his head back, wailing loudly. It was useless to mask his pleasure. He was in ecstasy, and he let it show. You were in awe, watching as he let himself succumb to it all. You pulled your hand away from his cock then, wanting to watch as it twitched with each brush against his prostate.

Bob looked at you, desperation in his eyes. "Please touch me again," he pleaded.

But you wanted him to feel a different form of pleasure. "No, I want you to squirt for me. No hands, my cock is all you need."

At that, his eyes widened, and he nearly sobbed, because he could feel the intensity creeping up on him. You leaned closer then, taking his face in your hands and kissing him deeply, breaking the kiss only to place your forehead against his own so you could watch him fall apart.

His eyes glimmered with tears of pleasure, and they soon began to trail down his cheeks. You encouraged him to let it all out, to feel the emotions, the pleasure, every sensation in that very moment.

He began to grow overwhelmed, breath quickening, chest heaving. "You're okay, Bobby," you assured him. You slipped two fingers into his mouth, and that soothed him instantly, his oral fixation satiated.

You let him suck on your fingers for a while, and he pulled back only to let out moans and whimpers. You could tell that he was nearing his end, just by the way his body responded.

He shuddered and arched off the bed to meet your thrusts, and suddenly, he pulled his mouth from your fingers, letting out a broken cry. "Oh! I-I'm gonna come!"

"It's okay, baby. Go ahead, make a mess for me."

A few more thrusts and he was done for, careening up off the mattress as he was overwhelmed by an orgasm that spread from his toes to the top of his head. Just as you'd said, he made a mess, seed spilling thick and white all over his abdomen in seemingly copious amounts.

Finally, he fell limp against the mattress, completely breathless and trembling from the aftershocks. "Good boy," you praised, "such a good boy."

Oh so slowly, you began to ease out of him, and he whined at the empty feeling once you'd pulled away completely. He was knocked out of his afterglow for a brief moment, glancing down and realizing how much of a mess he had made.

"It's all over," he whined, "s’ messy. G-gotta clean it up."

"Hush. I’ll take care of it." You kissed him gently, soothing him before you slipped away briefly to grab a towel and a pack of wipes from your aftercare bag. You warmed a couple of wipes in your hands before you gently wiped his release from his skin. You moved away only to throw the wipes in the trash.

You were with him again in an instant, and he immediately reached for you, wrapping two long arms around your waist as you settled beside him.

He rested his head against your chest again, and you placed one hand on his head, fingers threading through his hair. The other rested on his shoulder. He moved to look into your face, and you noticed his bottom lip was quivering. "Was I a good boy for you?" He asked.

"Of course you were, Bobby. You took that so well, I'm so proud of you." You kissed his forehead, and he melted into you. He'd clearly slipped into a gloriously small headspace, and you wanted to encourage it for as long as he would remain that way. 

His brow furrowed with worry for a moment, and he attempted to pull away. "I have to make you feel good," he said, but you placed a hand on his chest.

"No, what I want you to do is lay here for a little while with me. Don't worry about a thing."

Then he relaxed against you, letting out a soft sigh. You knew he wasn't in the right headspace to pleasure you. He needed to be taken care of, and would likely get overwhelmed if he tried to make you feel good.

Again, he sought out your breast, and you allowed him to have it, stroking his hair as he wrapped his lips around a hardened bud. Your chest warmed with love for him in that moment. Here was this beautiful man, so used to working a dangerous, intense job, putting his life on the line every day, reduced to a state of gentleness and docility. He needed to be taken care of, and you were there to provide that care.

It seemed that the horrible tension he’d been holding had finally melted away from his tired body. He let out a sigh of contentment, and his eyes fluttered shut, long lashes casting shadows over his cheeks.

As Bob drifted to sleep in your arms, his mouth still at your chest, you cradled him close, humming a soothing tune. He was safe here, body pressed close to yours. The harshness of the world couldn't touch him. And if it tried, you would protect him from it, because that was what you had promised him you'd do.

You thought you heard him murmur a soft “thank you,” into your chest.

"I'll always take care of you, sweet boy. Always,” you pledged. 

He’d never doubted you would.

The Wisp Between Worlds

CHAPTER ONE: BLACK WATERS

Acotar fanfic/rewrite. Inner Circle x OC. Eventual Azriel x OC.

Summary: Have you ever wondered what you would do (and do differently) if you found yourself trapped in the fantasy world of your dreams? For Nora, this fantasy of hers is about to play out when she finds herself portaled away to the Moral Lands south of Prythian. But all is not as it seems. Feyre Archeron is missing and the deadline to break Amarantha’s curse draws near. Who will save Prythian now?

Warnings: None for this chapter that I can think of, but expect angst, death, and sadness in the future.

Masterlist

________________

She needed to get outside. Callahan Barge was too tall, too sweaty, and too business casual for the kind of night she wanted to be having. Makeup swam down her skin cutting brilliant blue rivers down the tan of her cheeks. When she’d last caught a look at herself in the dusty bathroom mirror she’d been shocked and intrigued at the wide, kohl-lined eyes that stared out from beneath the glitter and paint. Lauren had decked her out in a skimpy, shimmering black dress, fish-net stockings, and the accompanying makeup to “let her live out her party fairy fantasies.” After all, she deserved to dress the part for her first Halloween as a 21-year-old. But that well-deserved fantasy took a hit when Callahan, cosplaying as an aspiring accountant (as per usual), started flirting with her at the bar.  

“Why don’t I buy you a drink?” his perfect white teeth gleamed in the UV light of the club glowing almost as brightly as the white button-down shirt he wore.

“I’ve got one already.” She stared directly in his eyes, taking a sip of the fruity mocktail the bartender had shaken up for her. He eyed the drink in her hands and she raised her eyebrow, daring him to make a comment. She was the designated driver for the night and the strongest liquid currently sloshing around in her cup was lemonade, but he didn’t need to know that.

“A second drink then?”

“No.”

He fiddled with his wrist watch, visibly flustered. “So about your thesis-” He began, desperately trying to spark a conversation.

“I have to go find my friends.”

“Oh right,” he pushed back his golden waves, “well hey, if you’re free after-”

Nora ducked behind the body of a passing security guard who’d been alerted to the sound of retching towards the right of the bar. Slipping nimbly through the crowd she tried to ignore the prodding of elbows and the occasional misplaced grinding of hips. Callahan was a nice guy, the kind that would have a position at Goldman Sachs by January and a 401k set up by May. The problem was he didn’t seem to understand why being randomly partnered with Nora for a creative writing assignment was enough grounds for a relationship. 

Fuck this. Nora thought to herself after five minutes of circling the lower and upper levels of the club. It would be impossible to find Lauren and Garett in this crowd and calling was pointless. The music raged from the speakers so loudly she could feel the bass rattling her bones.

She made her way towards the back doors, pressing against the sticky handle and sighing when the rush of cold, autumn air whisked the moisture from her skin. The wind carried the scent of the sea across the boardwalk. She breathed it in, having forgotten what air smelled like when it hadn’t been circulated through hundreds of drunken, jerking bodies. 

I’ll be outside for a bit. Let me know when you guys are ready to leave. 

With a whoosh the message was sent and she tucked the phone back into her pocket, wrapped her arms around herself, and made her way down to the pier. 

Aside from the handful of people smoking around the lamp post’s pool of light and the couple grappling at one another on a bench, the pier was empty. Nora kept her head down to give them all their privacy and walked to the edge, staring out at the inky black waters. She couldn’t see three feet past where the last lamp post feebly flickered, but she heard the licking of waves against the rocks, growling and slurping like some hungry creature.

Salt opened up her airways, leaving its distinct taste in her mouth and a faint burn in her lungs. It was in moments like this where she let herself wonder, truly wonder, about what would happen if she simply stepped over the edge and let herself get swallowed up.

You’d probably break your legs against the rocks you idiot. 

The thought of flailing about in the cold waters waiting for someone like Callahan to fish her out like a wet rat made her cringe.

I’d never actually do it. Stupid Freudian death drive.

It was just something she wondered about. What if there was something that was waiting for her? What if she was just wasting time waiting for the big thing to come along?

And what would that big thing be? 

Who knows.

And if it never comes?

Shut it.

Nora scolded her midnight thoughts. This was supposed to be a night of mindless fun and dancing and here she was standing alone in the cold being philosophical. But just as she turned away from the water a gust of wind brushed up against her back. No, not the wind… something else. A presence hovered over her shoulder, calming but unfamiliar as it traced down her spine. 

She froze, too scared to scream and too curious to move. Squinting her eyes she couldn’t make out any figures on the boardwalk or along the pier. She was alone.

Before she could make the executive decision to start sprinting back to the club, she heard it. Faint whispers curled around her ears, wrapping her in phantom arms until she could no longer feel the chill. Through the dozens of voices that called out to her in a mess of sounds and unintelligible words, one stood out. 

Low and silky and sensitive it asked, Where are you? Tell me where you are. Please.

Nora blinked.

The boardwalk faded away from her. She could still catch the faint outlines of the lamp post and railings, but more concretely she saw a room. Thick black curtains drifted along some invisible wind framing a brilliant city beyond that glowed like a thousand candles. The night sky was so crisp and clear she could make out every star.

She blinked again, readjusted her contacts, and it was gone. She was still on the pier alone and her vulnerability sent a shiver down her spine. 

The presence remained with her, breathing down her neck. She still couldn’t decide if she was afraid or not.

Wait… Run. RUN! The voice commanded her, barely a whisper in her ear despite the urgency of its words. 

Somewhere in the water far beyond where the light could reach, she felt a stirring, like the earth was rolling onto its side beneath her feet. A loud, low moan pulsed through the air and the pier’s wooden beams groaned in turn, protesting whatever force had begun to bend and snap them like toothpicks. 

Nora turned on her heels and started to run.

Fifty meters later and she was cursing her body, feeling the warmth in her legs build as she forced them to go faster. Breathe along to your favorite song, Nora. Dad had said that to her before every cross country race in high school. She was a shit runner then and she was a shit runner now. 

God I wish I kept running in college.

Another beam closer to her broke with a scream and Nora was thrown to the ground, landing awkwardly on stinging hands and knees as the water split open and began swallowing the pier. Like a beast it chomped at the wood, slurping the contents down into its throat. She dared a glance behind her and gasped as cracks formed along the surface of the ocean, blue-white light spilling outward. 

Scrambling to her feet she continued to run feeling the ground beneath her tilt further and further backward. The cracks deepened, crashing against wood. With a final sigh the last of the beams beneath her feet gave away, sinking into the mouth of the blue chasm below.

Nora screamed, lunging to the side to avoid the spear of wood that erupted by her legs. Cold water drenched her clothes, weighing her down as she was plunged into the frothy, glowing water. 

The pier had snapped in two. 

What are you doing you fucking idiot? Scream. She thought to herself. But even though she screamed, first in fear and then in frustration, no one heard her.

Nora gasped as the blue light finally reached her, wrapping around her body. She wished she had the mind to appreciate its beauty, but all she could think about was the terror that fueled her muscles to keep swimming, even as the current dragged her further down.

“HELP!” 

She begged anyone who might still be on the pier. She prayed to God, pleaded with the voice that had tried to warn her. 

No one’s coming to help. No one could help even if they wanted to.

Nora looked back, helpless as the water consumed her.

When her body had sunk beneath the depths - deeper than anyone could fathom - the portal sealed itself and there was nothing left but the ruined pier and the silent lamp posts as witnesses.

Author’s Note: Hi! As the summary already mentions, this is going to be an acotar rewrite with an OC that’s really just a cooler, more competent version of myself that I like to insert into every book I read. It’s been over a year since I finished reading the main trilogy so apologies if I don’t get the plot/plot elements exactly right (but also I might change the plot to better suit the story). I don’t know how many chapters this will be yet, but I have a small chunk of it already written and am hoping to get some regular posting schedule worked out. Thanks for reading this little blurb and I hope you enjoy!

It's alright, I got all I need | Huskerdust | Trans Husk au snippet

The way Angel’s smile widens brightens his world like a little slice of heaven. Not even Nifty running past them with the decapitated corpses of those roaches in her hands, can dull the glow of that smile.

The minute they step into Angel’s room Fat Nuggets greets them at the door with happy little oinks and squeaks. Angel scoops the little guy into his arms and cuddles him close for a minute before throwing him gently back on the bed. “Love you, little buddy, but I got a bath that’s calling my name.”

“Hey buddy,” He takes a few seconds to scratch the little hell hog behind the ears and under his chin. “He’s just had a rough day, we’ll be right with ya.”

He looks up and Angel’s smiling in the doorway to the bathroom, that soft smile that turns his insides to mush and heats up his cheeks. He’s blushing like a school girl around her first crush. He’s better than that. He knows that. But when it comes to Angel, things feel… different.

“Bath?” He offers.

“Bath.” Angel agrees, grinning as he walks past him. He’s almost sure Angel’s letting his eyes roam over his form, though when he turns to look at him, his eyes meet his own. “Thanks, whiskers.”

He doesn’t answer and just draws the water to the right temperature, picking one of those chemically strawberry scented soaps Angel likes so much. His nose twitches at the sickly sweet scent, his tail flicks out and the feathers brush over the tiled floor with soft rustling. It’s not his thing, but Angel likes it and that’s enough for him. Sides, by the time Angel’s dry the scent will have faded to a degree that he can actually stand it.

“Wanna join me, handsome?” Angel’s fingers trace over the top of his left wing, running from his shoulder to the bend as he leans in.

The sudden change in demeanor ruffles his feathers and raises his hackles instinctively.

“Angel…” He warns. Things were going relatively well. But he also knows that after a day like this, Angel’s instincts to please and seduce are still strongly ingrained in him. He fucking hates it when it’s directed at him. It makes him feel like- like before. He grumbles under his breath and shakes his head as if to shake the thought out of his mind physically.

Angel gets the hint, thankfully, and steps back with his hands raised. “Alright, alright. I hear ya. Can’t fault a guy for trying.”

He meets his gaze for a few seconds. The tips of his ears tickle the top of his wings where they’re flattened against his head. “I’ll wait for you in the other room. Just… call me when you need something.”

He doesn’t wait for the response, though he’s sure he picks up a very soft “sure” before he closes the door behind him. It’s not that he doesn’t- He sighs. He likes Angel, as Anthony. He likes him a lot more than he lets on. The problem is that he absolutely hates the persona that Angel has to put on with everyone else. People don’t do that unless they’ve had bad experiences with being themselves. He knows that all too well. Many people did that around him during his time as an overlord. And back then he reveled in it. Now? He fucking hates it, with every fiber of his being.

one glance over to jack revealed no similar success. no comparable level of skill. the barest hint of a twitch to his mouth as he stifled a grin. not wholly smug nor condescending as once it might have been. no, there was endearment there, the sort which had wormed its way into his heart and made a home there.

he huffed a sigh. ❛ what the fuck is that supposed to be? ❜ for a man of boundless eloquence, well read and charismatic, adept at rousing troops with stirring poetics ... he could certainly be a blunt prick sometimes. eyes cast down to the misshapen lump held resolute in the younger man's hands. the fire cast its flickering glow 'cross them both and threw flint's smirk into shadow. ❛ whatever it is, i'm afraid it needs to be put out of its misery. ❜

a beat of silence, and a roll of his eyes at no one but himself. he snatched the knife from jack's hands in a fluid motion ; his strength would brook no resistance, even from a master earthbender. ❛ your blade's too dull, for one. that's likely half the problem. ❜ half was being generous. a surefire way of recognizing his softness in this. he pulled a small whetstone from his pocket and began to draw the very edge across it in long, sweeping strokes.

❛ you have to picture your end result while you work, not just the next step in the process. what is it meant to be? it's for edward, yes? ❜ that much was obvious. if only for his own bit of art and its intended recipient one day.

SLASHER FILES' BLOOD FEST: WEEK FOUR

DRAGON'S LAIR

DOMINIK KULOKOV

Prompts: MASK(S), VEMON, KNIFE/KNIVES, WAR

Keywords: ENLIVEN. RAW

Hazy and glossy eyes opened. Head swimming as the industrial machines around screamed. It was a warehouse, something hot and gritty with coal lingering heavily within the air. Sweat slowly mixed with the blood dripping down the man's temple, curled hair sticky against the wound when his consciousness regained. Squinting, trying to make out the exact scene around him. It had to be a dream. A gruesome and unspeakable nightmare, only possible in a dream world. But it was all too real.

Bodies shook like a fish out of water on their last breath, in pools of bodily fluids, grasping and heaving on the floor. Some were unmoving in paralysis mirroring the dead that laid beside them.

And a man sat in the center of horrific brutalism. Veiled in black with a hood up, he gazed down upon some kind of a homemade weapon—metal with interlocking blades to move as if it were a dragon's tail naturally hanging down to mean the floor.

"Guess you did not want me to ... enliven your night, so to speak," the man spoke, almost unimpressed by the whole situation and the gore he caused as if it was not his problem nor his doing.

With disgust, he pulled away his boot from one of the victims that began to claw at him, begging with slurred words. Turning his head with intrigue, a gloved hand reached into a compartment on his vest, fishing out a vile and a small hook blade. The metal glinted in dim glow from a furnace to the left that radiated a hellish heat.

"You fucking dealers whine more than your animals ever do, fuck," His Russian accent was heavier with ire as he drew his combat boot to the man's neck.

With precise and easy action, the hooded man cut his victims tongue in two, mimicking that of a snake's. And before he was done, the vile was screwed open, and a thick, sticky liquid was poured out into a pryed open blood-filled mouth. Kicking the man easily away as he screamed and writhed, the killer sighed, rising from his chair and pocketing the blade.

"Most of your "friends" won't die here today," Keen eyes that were once ice blue looked black, eating the chained up man whole. "Most of the poisons and vemons will just leave them with nightmares... most, at least. Komodo dragon saliva will cause him a pretty nasty infection," he motioned over to the man that just had his tongue cut "hopefully he just finds a hospital fast enough for that to be all."

The details of his person were revealed as he stridded forward, dragon tail whip in hand. Sharp eyes hardened, he was young, merely in his twenties. A black half face mask lined the bottom of his face, and white hair cascaded down the pale skin of his forehead. The chained man began to twist, kick fight against the restraints, he recognized him. A trade gone wrong they called it, a man injured all the people involved and the animals were stolen. This one only had a broken leg and a scorpion stinger in his ear, an easy warning compared to the others.

"Ahh, so you do remember me... I was hoping so," He smirked behind the mask, observing the way his prey rubbed his wrists raw in pinching metal chains.

With a grunt, the masked man lured back, strength whipping the homemade weapon around his victims neck. Sharp blades twisting and drawing hot blood, cartilage tearing with every squirm.

Closing in, only inches from each others face, the Russian man growled through gritted teeth. "A greedy bastard never learns, huh?!"

His anger was seething, a boy ripping apart as he tried to control it, and he pushed back, dragging the whip with him and watching the flesh part. He breathed deeply, blue eyes focused on the pouring crimson breaking in even streams —lost in it, he forced himself to look away with hunger in his stomach.

"This will help..." The masked man took another vile from his pocket and poured it into one of the man's wounds. "A few moments with Banded Krait vemon and I will meet you in hell" He promised, observing every last moment of this man's life.

“Oh hell yeah! A fucking fire sword. Woomwooom swish!”

“Nice sound effects, dumbass.” Adrianna calls over her shoulder to Mike, our ever heroic and mature paladin, her hand shuffling through a draw full of clothes. The Druid’s hands pull out a silvery piece of cloth that shimmers with a low white glow. She smiles and pulls it out, draping it over her shoulders.

The liches’ dead bodies still smolder from Eric’s eldritch blast that finally did them in. The warlock himself circles the dead bodies, tuttering at their defeat and looking for objects immediately visible on their person. Our wizard, Baxter, sits in a corner of the large cavern, looking through dusty tombs, searching for spells and other possible places where treasure can be found. Crystal, the singing bard, searches through scrolls on the opposite side of the cave.

None of them seem to notice the slight crack in the wall that indicates a door to another room. I lean against the wall, and breath in the slight breeze coming from the crack. It smells of roses, wax and pine. Candles and soap.

My fingers itch to know what’s back there, past the lair part of the liches’ hideout and into the area they actually lived in. Getting this deep into the cave system was difficult, full of traps and dead ends, a lot of magical illusions to turn us around, undead creatures to fight and, honestly, just a lot of natural problems you’d expect from a cave system. Gaps in the path way, pressure, hearing water but not ‘being able to find it, and a lot of other issues.

I come up with a lie. “Guys, there’s a slight crack here. I’m going to look and see if it’s an exit. It’s possible they wouldn’t have even been able to fit through it, though.”

I get a general dismissal of approval from my companions, and a, “There might’ve been a faster way to get here? Oh, fuck me!” From Mike, as he raises the flaming sword, getting dangerously close to the very flammable scroll case in the corner. Crystal yelps and jumps about five feet away. I don’t stay to watch the rest of the petty fight, shimmering instead through the doorway, hands brushing against the hidden hinges. I’m careful to keep the door from moving as I climb, but the others are focused on their magical artifacts.

It’s one room, the cavern walls peaking out behind wooden paneling, decorated with curtain drapes and floral wallpaper. I check over the walls before going through the two desks, the bed or the kitchen area. There’s no way to get behind the wall without blowing it up. I take a knife and slam through the wood, sneak through between and find a glowing red gem of some sort. I pocket it and go back to the desks, searching for the property title, their wills and testimonies. It takes a few minutes, but under desk pressed close to the bed is a secret draw, containing the papers I need.

We’ll be burning the skeleton bodies and tossing what’s left of them in the pit, inform the neighboring village that they don’t have to worry anymore about being terrorized by the undead. No bodies, though, means no way of proving they’re dead. We could’ve just as easily chased them out. The sheriff won’t bat an eye at my claims.

Anything to avoid conflict with high ranking heroes. An easy property scam. Who doesn’t want to rent in a place known for housing villains and being owned by a hero? The moment I get back to town, I’ll completely forge the papers to my name, make it look like they gave it to me. A legit ownership.

I find their IDs, death certificates and birth certificates in a small chest under the bed.

I slip back out through the doorway and drop dramatically, papers shoved on the inside of my coat. I grab a few benign knives and clap my hands, walking to the middle of the room. “That was a dead end. I was hoping for more, but all I could find was this gem.” I toss the red one over to Baxter. His face lights up immediately and he starts muttering about powers and whatever the fuck else.

While your colleagues are fixated on magical items and artifacts, you’ve been quietly collecting all the deeds of ownership for the ruins and dungeons you clear.

Poppy Playtime X Hunger Games

This one took me a while and this one is a lot of deaths. Viewer discretion is advised.

————————————————————————

Part 8

Cristopher grabbed at his stomach, hunger stabbing him like a knife. He was smart enough to find food, the problem was he hasn’t see a single animal, or plant that’s edible. There’s been water, but no fish or anything consider edible.

Cristopher looked around and started to itch his arm. He’s been extremely itchy ever since he got into the area. His side started to burn along with his whole side. He lifted up his shirt and saw hot welts that glowed yellow and dusted red.

Must be some kind of allergy….

Christopher puts his shirt down and grabs his arms. Hunger rips at his gut and his walk starts to turn into a stumble. He saw coming out of the corner of his eye. Christopher turns just as Miss Delight tackled him. Her porcelain was starting to chip, and her hair was flat and smeared with dirt. 

“I found you.” He breathed on him. “You don’t want me.” Christopher tried to sound like he wasn’t scared. “You want.”

“Cruz is dead. Head sliced and his skull crushed. You and Henry were my next targets. Why? Men screwed my life.”

“Not all man are the same.” Christopher says in some half attempt to get the deranged doll off of his body. 

“I’m aware. And even then they’ve done nothing but fuck me over.”

“I-“ She started to strangled him. Miss Delight digs her fingers into his throat and draws his blood. She looks at the glittering liquid on her fingers and puts it in her mouth. Her pupils dilate and she starts to scrape flesh from Cristopher’s throat. Any little pieces she’s gotten,she’d eat raw.

“I-It’s amazing! You’ve been hiding this from me! How dare you!”

She hissed and scraped down to his larynx. “I’ve always wondered how this was going to taste!” Miss Delight laughed as she chewed his juicy organ. Christopher was already dead, but that didn’t stop the former teacher.

Miss delight kept eating and eating until her belly was full. But she wanted more. More of his blood. More of his flesh. That’s when she spotted one of those cinders. She got it, and dumped all of its contents out. The only noticeable thing she found was wire and some note that she didn’t care about.

She strips off all of Christopher and uses his spine and skull to make a weapon with the wire.

Miss Delight grabs her meat jar and new weapon and starts to laugh to herself. “Come one Crispy Cream, let’s go!” She says as she slings her weapon over her shoulder. She winks at his bones and leaves.

-

Harley Sawyer walks through the map of the area in his mind. He memorized this place from front to back. Harley froze as a rabbit jumped in front of him. It was twitching its nose. Harley looked around for anyone. He bent down and touched the rabbit.

What was he expecting? To magically feel anything? Like some robot he had built a short notice was going to have anything like nerves. Even then who says Harley could feel anything? Even emotions were starting to feel alien.

He hear the sound of a Pyro and the rabbit ran. Pyro, Cryo, Sparks, Smoke, and Venom. All of these are nicknames for the bombs he and Estella made to counter the Hour of Joy.  Only 20,000 people died. Of course Estella didn’t die, she wouldn’t be caught dead with those experiments killing her.

Sure he put some of those bombs here…. It was those damn sponsors! These bombs weren’t on the list he had updated. It was only people who had heard from word of mouth or had fought in the Hour of Joy.

Harley tenses as Henry ran past him. Henry yelped and Harley quickly stabbed him. Not to kill him, but to let him bleed. Harley let his guard down for a second and a Sparks hit him. Harley made a jumbled yell and he fell back paralyzed. Harley outside of the game made an embarrassing squeak.

Poppy ran over to him, her face had a long crack on her face, and a good chunk of her hair missing. 

“Long time no see, Harley Sawyer.” Poppy hisses as she gently sets down a bag that’s about the same size as her. Harley could only make an incoherent sounds as Poppy rolled her eyes. As the effects started to wear off as Poppy pulled out a Sparks.

“Oh sh-“

Poppy slammed the bomb into Harley’s face, launching Poppy back. Harley screamed as he felt phantom pain in his vains. The TVs and Computers start to short circuiting around him. Poppy was flung onto a tree and got knocked out.

When she opened her eyes she looked to see that her right arm wasn’t moving. She felt pain shooting through her. The Harley Body was lying on the ground. Screen shattered and his wires were sticking out. The air around them was humming with excitement. 

Poppy grabbed her bomb bag and ran off.

-

Katlyn hides in a cave as she shivers. She can’t take it! Katlyn grabs some mistletoe berries and ate them. Her stomach started to hurt a lot. Katlyn moved herself towards the back of The cave.

-

Doey, wrapped in as many blankets watched as the person fell asleep. Their flesh looked delightful. Doey shook his head and walked towards the back of the cave. There.

A dead rotting body. Doey felt his stomach growling. Doey looked at her dead body, got to his knees, and started to shovel her flesh into his mouth. He ate the clothes, flesh, and bones.

“Now that hit the spot.” He chuckled. He then went back to his spot to warm up.

-

Poppy ran around with bombs on her back. Her arm still not responding. As she runs she finds Catnap eating Dogdy That was being held by wire. Poppy hid as Catnap looked around.

He hissed as his gas starts to flow around her. Poppy started to panic and threw one of the bombs. Catnaps was hit with fire and charged at Poppy, snapping her arm off.

Poppy screamed and ran away from a chasing Catnap.

Poppy ran and ran until Catnap stopped chasing her. She made short breaths as she grabbed the sharp shoulder on where her arm used to be.

“Come on Poppy. You got this!” She starts to run again.

-

Vegas walked around and felt her head start to hurt. This was all Cruz’s fault. Yeah, that’s what she tells herself. She crushed his dead skull, not getting the joy of killing him herself. It was all thanks to him that she was here, that she got pregnant, why Harley had to give her an abortion.

She walked around with her pack on her back and heard the sound of a branch snapping. 

Vegas turns around as a skull hits her. Miss Delight stumbles out of the trees. Vegas cracked her knuckles, and her neck.

Miss Delight narrowed her eyes, and pulled her Crispy Cream back. 

Vegas was the first one to charge forward and brings her leg up and hooked Miss Delight in the hip.

She went sliding across the ground. Miss Delight threw Crispy Cream at Vegas. She blocks and throws Crispy Cream back. The fight in an anime style and by the end they were bruised and broken.

Vegas gave up and fell to her knees. “Say hello to Cruz in hell for me.” Vegas says with a smirk as Miss Delight snaps her neck.

Vegas lay limply in the teacher’s hands. Miss Delight stripped Vegas’s flesh and ate everything. 

When bone was left Miss Delight broke bones and made herself a bone and wire mace.

“Come on Barb, there’s more flesh walking around here.” She laughes as she stripped and ate the leftover bones.

-

When I woke up I looked outside the blizzard was gone. “Doey! The blizzard’s gone!” I call as he sits there, not moving.

“Hm.” He simply shrugs. I frown as the cloudy sky gave off a soft glow to the snow. Two metal cylinders fly down.

“We got gifts…” My spirits felt down as Doey’s did. I open up the first cylinder, which had a note from Harley on it.

‘I’d watch yourself. The taste of human flesh is turning the experiments. Have you noticed that Clayface has been a little less… him. He’ll turn on you, but there’s still some good in him. It’s just the craving of your flesh that’s going to drive him mad. Show yourself as not an easy meal. These are called Cyro, the cold hurts him. I expect you to win, don’t disappoint. - Harley Sawyer.’

I look at the bottom of the cylinder and see grenade like spears with a pin and leaver, a blue stripe on the side. I open up the other one and see it’s full of rice.

“Doey! This food’s for you!” I say as I throw the note that was for him to the side. 

“You eat what you can.” He says with a lack of anything. He sounded lost, and dead.

I eat until my stomach hurts and give it to Doey. Doey eats with his hands, and I notice the dark blood on his hands. 

“Doey….” I say as I pocket one of the Cryo. I walk to face him. He throws the cylinder at the wall near me. The metal collapsing like it’s just a soda can. 

“I can’t take it anymore!” He yells at me. His body shaking as he stalks to me. Sharp jagged white teeth start to rise from his gums. “You! I’ve been having to deal with that stupid goodie bag for almost two weeks! And your delicious flesh has been so tempting. Just imagine! Your wriggling body squirming in my jaws sounds delicious!” His body starts to get more rough, his jaw extending out into more of a wolf or dragon. His arms became more beast like, as two more human like arms come out of his shoulders, his back becomes arched with a spine, and his hind legs turned more dog like.

“I’ll KILL YOU!” He leaped at me and I pulled the pin on the bomb. I threw it and it landed in his mouth. Everything felt like it was in slow motion. Doey looked at me in shock and in fear as we both hear a hissing noise. 

BOOM

Doey screamed as he went back to looking like the normal him as a pale blue gas comes out of his mouth. He claws at his throat as he whimpers.

“Shit!” I run over to him and shove my hands down his throat. He gags as I start to claw ice out of his throat. Eventually he started to breathe and throw up ice and bits of bone. I pat him on the back as he takes in painful shaking breaths.

“Y-You saved me!” Doey looks at me with painful sobs. No tears came out of his eyes, but his voice broke like it was crying. 

“Why did you save me?”

“Karma. And I kinda owe it to you after I chucked it down your throat.”

Doey hugged me as he drew shaking breaths.

“I-I’m so sorry! I’m so sorry! I’m so sorry…. I’m just… so hungry….”

I tense up.

“N-No! I’ll be safe!” He backs away from me. “I’ll be better! I’m sorry…” He curls up and makes more crying sounds.

“We should go out. This cave is making us delusional.” I say.

He nods and whipped his face. Doey walks up to me at the entrance of the cave, handing me my jacket. 

“Thanks Doey.” I say as I put on my jacket. I grab his hand. “Come on. Let’s go take a walk.”

He nods and follows me into the snow.

[bace-jeleren]

Honestly, my New Year's resolution is just to write more. 2024 was a really, reabsd year for me, as far as volume of writing goes, mostly due to health problems. I'm going to try and put more emphasis on writing in 2025.

Obviously, Beyond the Neon Veil is my main focus, but I also need to start planning for the prequel, Before the Neon Veil, which is a glorified OG Kamigawa novel trilogy rewrite, and also the sequel, Beyond the Halo's Glow (working title) that stars Elspeth and her complex web of potential lovers, dealing with the fallout of the events of Neon Veil that have lead to the unsealing of the Phyrexians.

I also want to finish Legendary: The Quest for Excalibur, you know, my Quest for Camelot fiction that nobody read. I want to put some effort into a lot of fics, but Legendary is the only one I want to FINISH next year. It's sat dormant for so long, mostly because I was a little butthurt nobody really cared for it. But I cared for it, and I just need to revisit it with the perspective that it's just a self-indulgent work and nothing else.

I also need to go back HARD to the drawing board for Strixhaven: The Savage and The Sinner. Going back to writing it isn't top priority as much as actually figuring out the details of what I want to DO with it are. It got put on hiatus because I immediately realized that, outside of little things, I didn't know what I wanted to do with the body of the story. The fic it's a sequel to, The WAR Forsaken rewrite, was so much easier to produce because I more or less had the outline already written for me, so I could just plow through the story without much effort. The Savage and the Sinner doesn't really ape off the OG Strixhaven story as much, though, but I still dove headfirst anyway and immediately was like "wait, what the fuck am I doing????"

The lowest wrung of this whole list is probably my spiritual successor to "Are You My Mistress?". I've decided to call it "Her Majesty's Commands" and is obviously going to star Kaito and The Wanderer, but just like my last kink-fic, will have a supporting cast of other kinksters. It's going to be less a fish-out-of-water story, and more about people who are already entrenched in the scene, and thus is going to have a lot more of a variety of scenarios, including delving into some consensual-non-consent stuff. I also have less of a problem with writing m/m stuff now, so it will have more than just the one crumb of a scene that "Are You My Mistress?" had.

movie magic black hole with a swirling ring of glowing particulates resembling a galaxy is a visual depiction of an illuminated accretion disk, typically as the black hole is "caught in the act" of destabilizing a nearby star, generally to give them a bit more visual definition on screen.

the thing about a black hole is it's… well… a hole. the "bullshit" visible is specifically what the black hole is ingesting. We like to depict this as visual light considering our species can only see on the visual light spectrum and movies are a largely visual medium made entirely possible by our manipulation of that visible light spectrum.

Cameras operate pretty similar to how our eyes do.

Worth noting is that black holes or similar gravity wells are almost always at the heart of these galaxies controlling the entire structure of them so you could argue the whole reason galaxies look like that is because of their black hole. making it a bit poetic that artistic depictions of black holes look like spiral galaxies at times.

the recent photo of 2019 looks a lot more like the glowing ring art than the physics simulation because it was captured using cameras. Aka the visible light spectrum.

we have this problem with many other things in space. A lot of the iconic colors one might associate with our solar system's gas giants are the result of the cameras used and not necessarily reflective of how we would see them in-person.

Nebulae are especially prone to this, as different wavelengths of light will show up refracted through the dust clouds differently. So xray and infrared photos will be different despite being taken at the same exact distance and angle.

Not even our own eyes are exempt from this, as viewing objects from earth we will be dealing with the refraction from the atmosphere which tints everything more blue/shorter wavelengths than anything else.

okay I need to stop and wait to continue this, my pain meds kicked in and i just sat here laughing after saying "black holes suck off stars" instead of the safer "siphon the plasma from stars" and idk if you know this but stars are a light source and we are able to see and visibly observe things because light goes into our eyeballs and a black hole is called that because it is a its a fucking hole so artistic depictions are like when you draw water going down the drain you draw the current of the water and art of black holes you are seeing the plasma from the stars that got sucked off.

Val made drugs and it went predictably

Welcome back to more Valposting, where stupid insane bullshit happens and it is entirely our own fault. Last session we beat one of our biggest problems and today we decided to celebrate by going to an abandoned church and getting drunk. Val, in her infinite wisdom, decided to mix together some of her plants to make Some Kind Of Drug, with the intention of producing a mild psychedelic. "Mild" was not what we got.

This started off similar to the last time we all got drunk together, with an attempt at a game of Truth or Dare. It did not last very long, because upon realising she didn't know what the drug would actually do, Val tried some. It didn't take effect immediately so she capitalised on the others not knowing much about drugs to get them to take some too. Then things started to occur.

It was obvious that something had taken effect when Val started changing the colours of things with her mind, first turning Aluber into neon colours and then turning Levi's hair blue. Other effects that people experienced include: Levi sprouts dog ears and a tail; Aluber becomes tiny; Mei starts fucking glowing; Darcy gets magic depression. We spent a little while fucking around and just getting a bit drunker, during which Aluber learnt what a buttplug is, and it was at this time that the GM told me that Val's deductive reasoning had been switched off, and she is incapable of drawing conclusions from the information she is taking in. So while I had above table worked out what this was, Val had no fucking clue why Levi was now barking at squirrels out of the window and Mei was turning into materials like water and string.

As things often do, it got Worse. All things considered, Val actually handled the situation better than the others did in terms of the things that happened to her, second to perhaps Aluber. Darcy and Mei got Bad first. I haven't talked about these two as much, but they're an interesting pair of cases. Darcy, in short, is a body without a soul who acts mostly on impulse. Mei is a ghost, a soul without a body. This drug made them each yearn for what they were missing, and they fucking fused together into a single person. We called her Marcy. Marcy proceeded to grab Aluber and go on a quest to run around and frolick because the soul piloting her (Mei, now as drunk as two people) missed having a physical form so much. In their frolicking, they went down into a certain basement.

I don't think I've had cause to bring this basement up yet, because this is not the Murder Basement. One of the characters that used to be part of the friend group, Seraph (who has since been kidnapped by his uncle and taken to boot camp) was a Nephilim, a half-angel. This basement is where his dad is locked up. He likes to read. Marcy went to go and visit him and show off being a whole complete person, and to her dismay he ripped them back into Mei and Darcy before sending them on their way. Also Darcy gave him a copy of Fifty Shades of Grey and I genuinely have no way to work that neatly into the flow of the post. Suffer.

Back in Old Church, Levi caught a scent in the wind. The scent of a deer in his territory. Levi is a werewolf with Khorne hanging out in his brain (complicated) and therefore did what werewolves are wont to do. He went on a hunt, bringing back the whole corpse of a deer and getting very possessive over it. This was the point where we really should have started to be worried, but our characters were all drunk off their asses and didn't think it was a problem. Val, who at this point was fucking around with magic that wasn't obeying her properly and writing absolutely incomprehensible things in chalk, accidentally turned an entire wall into blood when trying to remove blood that she had put there.

Things got worse from there. Levi now had the scent of blood. Levi, who has a telepathic connection with the rest of his wolf pack.

Mei and Darcy got back and were understandably rather depressed. Val had the galaxy-brain idea to use magic to make Darcy less sad and it just completely did not work. Instead, Darcy's filter was completely removed.

Aluber for reasons I genuinely don't remember was covered in blood at this point and, seeing that Levi had got its scent, washed it off with vodka.

Val tried to un-blood the wall, succeeded, and then realised it had pissed off Levi. She did not succeed at turning it back into blood.

Levi and the rest of the wolf pack were starting to frenzy.

The girls were a drunk pile on the floor, chatting about bullshit.

Aluber and Levi went outside, and there was a really fucking intense fight that unfortunately I was not especially tuned into because at this point the girls were absolutely in their drunk pile (we, the players, all got into a pile on one of the sofas for realism) and ended up talking about how we were embodying gender stereotypes by just chatting while the boys had an intense brawl outside, and were remarkably casual about it under the circumstances.

Once again, the slippy boy came out on top and did manage to beat Levi, but not without Levi allowing some of Khorne's influence to get a further hold on him, which for those of you who aren't already aware of Khorne is Very Fucking Bad. The drug wore off on both of them, and they realised Oh God Oh Fuck This Is Very Bad before each going home to sleep off the alcohol and rest. The girls were still drunk off their asses. Then Mei fully vanished.

Darcy and Val understandably panicked for about two minutes before Mei came back, the drug now having worn off on her too. With Val and Darcy still out of it, she took them back to her house so they could sleep, and needed things to tell their families. Mei already knew Darcy's mum and sent her a message to say Darcy was ok. Mei does not know Val's family, however. None of the gang do. She opened Val's phone to a message from her cousin entirely in emoji. If I'm remembering right this is actually the second time one of the gang has had to attempt to decipher the Westers' emoji code and for some fucking reason, Mei decided that the best thing to say was that Val was staying over with Levi. This might seem innocuous, but because the gang had recently finished faking a falling out, Val decided that the best excuse for why she was suddenly friends with Levi again was make-up sex. This resulted in a rumour going around the school that Val pegged Levi, which Mei decided to capitalise on here, impersonating Val to tell her cousin (using emoji code) that she was spending the night with Levi for sex reasons. As much as Val is an agent of chaos, I really have to hand this one to Mei and her player because god damn.
