#enby!Seb

[wolfsbanesbite]

very much late (sorry)

i think we all need a little bit of enby seb in our lives because idk about you but i feel there is a lack of it (possibly with simi bc of course)

anyways, much love and i hope your day is good <3333

Hey anon!

Yessss we need more Enby Seb! My beloved. His latest Instagram reel made me so happy as his hair is so long you can just...tie that up so prettily. Just I have a lot of thoughts about it 👀👀👀👀👀

[ceoandslutler]

this was crazy btw 💜

[loveislandthegame]

i’ll always love season 3, i know it has the reputation of being “Friend Island” and childish but honestly, it’s so cute and funny. also it’s lgbt paradise 😍

[f1-disaster-bi]

I REALLY loved that snippet you did for Similar w/ non-binary Seb a while ago, so: maybe some angst for that verse, if you want?

"It's not like whatever shit he's harping on about now is real, Sebastian heard one of the drivers whisper a row or two from behind him, "There's only two genders. He's just trying to gain new fans since his season is shit"

Sebastian felt something sick twist in their gut as they heard what the other driver had to say about them. It made their chest hurt, and their eyes ache but they kept their head held high.

They would never regret coming out even if half the time, the media and some of the team misgendered them or gave them weird looks now. Sebastian had tried to ignore it and focus on all the messages of support that had flooded in, and more importantly, the messages from people just like Sebastian that now had someone to look up too in this sport. They had Sebastian proudly wearing his gender identity like armour and creating a space for non-binary people's voices to be heard by using their own.

Yet it still hurt.

It hurt to hear someone they had considered a friend talk about them with such disdain in his voice. That someone they had shared laughter and drinks with, could turn around and scorn Sebastian simply for existing.

They knew this would happen. That not everyone would be welcoming or supportive or understanding but Sebastian held their head high as they looked around the room as it started to fill out. They couldn't help but smile as they met Charles's eyes, and the other non-binary but not out driver looked at Sebastian as if they hung the moon. They looked at Lando, tucked in beside Charles and noticed how the young trans-man had started to carrying himself unapologetically since Sebastian had come out. Those two might not be out, and may never be out, but Sebastian knew how having someone on the grid take that leap had reassured them both in ways they may never be able to put words too.

Sebastian was drawn out of their thoughts when more vile words were said behind them but they were quickly silenced as an arm wrapped around their shoulder.

"Shut the fuck up with that backwards shit ", Kimi all but growled at the other driver, glaring over his shoulder, words ice cold.

Sebastian relaxed into Kimi’s side and touch, taking a breath for what felt like the first time since they had sat down.

Let them talk shit all they wanted, because Sebastian knew their worth and they knew that no-matter what, Kimi was always going to be right by their side to help them face whatever the world threw at them.

Seb/Kimi

Seb

who texts/rings to check how their day is going

I think they both do it.

100% Seb. No question.

who cries at movies

Seb. And Kimi knows when it'll happen because Seb gets really snuggly and wants Kimi to hug/hold him. ❤

Kimi

who fusses over the other when they’re sick

They both do. (But I have to say Kimi because of my most important Simi story. ❤)

who gets jealous easiest

Seb

who has the most embarrassing taste in music

That's difficult because I don't really know what kind of music they like. 😃

Seb (Especially if I think of enby Seb before the Autosport Gala. 😃)

Seb

Seb

I don't really know but they watched Heartstopper in one of my stories. 😃

They go on dates, watch movies/series together, cook together sometimes, things like that.

who made the first move

Seb

Seb picks flowers on the way home, Kimi buys them for Seb.

I wanted to say Seb but think it could be Kimi's secret skill. 😃

After sleeping on it, I think I'll stick with homoflexible for now. Ships with men will happen much easier than ships with women. Obv, enby or trans are fine as well. It's just easier to put in man/woman terms.

Seb being attracted to a woman rly is based more on chemistry than it is to a man, if that makes sense. In my career on this blog, he's only had two ships with a woman while he's had multiple with men. They just come much easier.

It's gotta feel like it clicks. But, I do think it's possible.

[justanothersnakeblog]

[axolotlwrites]

Hey, ladies, gents, enbies, and other persons that stand outside the usual categorization, it's been a while. Life is a pain in the ass, and it seems to really like my ass in particular. I'm sorry it's been so long, but I've been in another slump for a while.

This is what not taking your meds does to ya, don't do that.

Tomorrow, I'm going to start working on the Stardew Valley Sebastian mlm fic again, and I'd like to thank anybody who's waited in the dark for me to say something. Y'all are who I do this for. And to hold you over, here's some pictures of my plants!

Names of the plants are in the alt text

And yes I will make the Maru fic after Seb, have no worries.

[wolfsbanesbite]

you ask for promts and i shall listen

what about 65 for simi? thank you i know it be amazing <3

Enby!Seb? Enby!Seb.

65. I wish you could see yourself the way I see you.

Sebastian frowns in the mirror, slowly pilling up their curls experimentally. A little frown creses their brow as they carefully tie their hair up, looking at the finished result in the bathroom mirror.

Tied up hair. Camisole top and a soft knee length skirt. They were experimenting with clothing and hair styles. Looking to see what felt right.

With a groan of frustration, Sebastian takes their hair our of the tie. It felt hopeless.

Kimi is watching from the doorway, his eyes soft as he moves closer and Sebastian watches him approach in the reflection of the mirror. "What's up?"

Sebastian swallows thickly and looks down at the sink. "This outfit doesn't work."

"Why?" Kimi asks softly, his hands finding Sebastian's waist and pulling them back in tight against his chest.

Sebastian sighs. "It doesn't look good to me. I just....I feel like it's me...but not."

Kimi hums and presses a kiss behind their earlobe. "But it is you. I can see it. Why can't you?" He slowly takes the hair tie that had been dropped in the sink and moves to re tie their hair.

"Because I look at others and feel like I'm not expressing myself as I should. Like I should be more." Sebastian sighs softly.

Kimi shakes his head and he slowly gathers Sebastian's curls. "There's no such thing as expressing yourself a certain way. Only what feels comfortable. Do you feel comfortable in this outfit?"

"I do." Sebastian murmurs, enjoying Kimi's touch as he ties up their hair.

"Then fuck what people think. You do you, and you-" , he presses a kiss to his cheek as he pulls on the hair tie he had made, -are fucking georgous."

Sebastian melts at his words and turns around, shocked by the utter adoration in Kimi's eyes. "Kimi...."

"I wish you could see yourself the way I see you." Kimi whispers to them, all soft and gentle, as he leans in to kiss them.

That warm soft declaration is all Sebastian needs. They're fine as they were and they didn't need anyone's approval to live their life. They were loved.

They pull back, grinning. "I guess this outfit will do."

Kimi's answering smile is blinding.

Dear Nyx, you're never too late. (I'm the one who's usually too late. Just like now.) You (and everybody else) can always send prompts, not only when the prompt list is on the top of my profile. ❤

Love you too. ❤

@wolfsbanesbite Hi dear, since you and Nyx sent me the same prompt, I've dediced to just put your ask here because I think it's better than posting the same story twice. 😊

Do you remember this drawing I made back in February? Because I do and wanted to write a story for it for so long but never actually did. Until now. 😉 (Not a whole story with everything in it, only a short one. ❤)

Enby Seb and Kimi preparing for the Autosport Awards gala, enby Seb's first public appearence in feminine clothing.

Thank your for sending the prompts and sorry for the long wait. I hope you'll like the story. 😊

“I should've bought a bra for this, don't you think?” Seb asked, observing themselves in the mirror in their red dress, Kimi standing behind them. “I feel like it's a bit flat here,” they gestured towards their chest where the material of their cowl neck dress lay with perfect loose drapes between the two golden chain strands on their shoulders. 

“Well, if what I say matters, I think you look perfect the way you are,” Kimi said, sliding both of his hands down on Sebastian's torso, feeling the perfect shape of his partner's body, and then leaning closer to their neck to hint a kiss on it, making Seb's heart pick up pace and their cheeks turn pink. “But if you want, next time we can buy you a bra, I'm sure we can stuff it with socks or something,” he added, making Seb laugh genuinely. They've always appreciated Kimi's help and problem-solving skills. 

“I don't even know what I would do without you,” they said, turning around to look into Kimi's eyes, a soft smile on their face. 

“Well, the good thing is that you don’t have to think about it.”

“I’m so lucky,” Seb smiled, their heart filled with love.

“I have something for you,” Kimi said while trying to fish something out of his pocket, “to make the look complete. I hope you like it,” he gave the little red box to Seb and looked at their face to see their reaction. He really hoped Sebastian would like his gift.

“What’s—” Seb wanted to ask as they lifted the lid of the box but when they saw the light catching the beautiful, golden jewelry, they couldn’t believe what they saw. “Oh my God, Kimi!”

“Clip-on earrings because you’ve always wanted to try them,” Kimi explained, “And a necklace to highlight the beauty of your neck.”

Seb had to blink a few times to make the tears go away. They didn’t want to cry because the lady in the makeup store told them it's not a good idea to cry when they have mascara on. They went for the waterproof one just to make sure.

“What do you think?” Kimi asked a few moments later. “I tried to buy something simple because I don’t know if y—”

“I—I just…” Seb wanted to say something but they couldn’t find the right words, so instead they went for a hug and then a kiss. These two things tell more than words.

“Do you want to try it on?”

“Of course I do,” Seb nodded, clipping on the first earring with trembling hands and then the second one too. 

“And here comes the necklace,” Kimi said in a soft tone as he put it on and clipped it so that Seb could adjust it a bit to make sure the pendant was centered.

Seb took a few steps towards the mirror to take a closer look at their new jewelry (and completed look) and the euphoria they felt was so new and unexpected that they didn’t even know what to do or say, they just stood there with sparkling eyes and a huge grin on their face. 

“You look amazing,” Kimi said, touching Seb’s hand and lifting it up to twirl them and make them feel like a princess.

“I feel amazing,” Seb grinned while turning around, the bottom part of their red evening dress flying in the air as well as their golden curls. “I feel… I… I don’t even know how to describe it. I feel free. I… I feel like I’m myself. I’m not scared anymore. I feel confident.”

“I’m so proud of you for taking this big step. You shouldn’t have given a fuck about what people think. What matters is that you’re free and you’re your true self. People who don’t like this don't deserve to be a part of your life.”

They've never felt luckier to have Kimi in their life. They don't have to do this alone. They're not alone, and that's the most important – to have somebody they can always count on. And Seb can always count on Kimi. From the very first moment.

“I couldn’t have done this without you,” Seb looked into Kimi’s icy blue eyes, falling in love over and over again, “Thank you.”

“Glad to be with you along this journey,” Kimi said, leaning closer for a quick kiss. He really wanted to give Seb more than a kiss but he knew the taxi would be there at any minute.“We should go now,” he said after, “We’ll be late if we don’t hurry up.”

“I can’t wait to be there” Seb exclaimed, quickly getting their red purse and taking a quick last look at the mirror to see if everything was perfect and their lipstick and weren’t too smudged.

“Are you ready?” “Kimi asked, holding out his hand for Seb who then interlocked their fingers and hinted a kiss on them.

“I’ve never felt more ready in my life.”

“Then let’s go.”

Summary:

Harry wasn't at school any more, nor was he fifteen. He was a successful merchant banker with a flat to die for and an owl who loved him. And he wasn't going to get into a pissing match with a stick-fiddler who'd always driven him mental.

Excerpt:

Draco was sitting in Harry's chair, bare feet propped up on the July trading analysis as he nursed a cup of tea with obvious satisfaction.

Eyes widening, Harry glanced back at Seb, but he'd already back into his own office.

Very carefully, Harry stepped inside and shut the door behind him. "Hi," he managed in greeting, feeling as though the planet was off its axis by at least a few degrees.

"I hate mornings," Draco announced. "But today's seemed particularly nice."

"Not bad," Harry agreed and thought again of the night before. "But it would be nicer if you took your feet off my desk."

"All these gadgets," Draco observed, picking up the telephone headset and examining it with clinical interest. "How do you ever get any work done?"

"I don't, generally. I have minions."

Draco snorted and swung his legs down. "You're so full of it. You're a total workaholic. Look at all these filing cabinets, they're all stuffed with your report thingies. Yes, yes," he held up a hand to forestall Harry's protests, "I know you say it's very competitive and unpredictable, but it looks like tedious twaddle to me." He sniffed, flicking through the papers on Harry's desk with pursed lips. "Ooh, crossword. Did you finish it?"

"Seven across, but I thought of it yester—"

"Aplomb. No wonder it took you a while."

Harry took his suit jacket from the hanger on the back of the door, shrugging it on. He had three meetings during the day, all clients, all requiring maximum first impressions and none needing Draco Malfoy. Not when Draco was already the sum total of what was on Harry's mind anyway. "Hurry up and drink your tea so you can piss off out from under my feet."

Draco laced his fingers together and cracked the joints. He rose from Harry's chair with a showy bit of reluctance. "To tell you the truth, I'm hiding from Poppy. I'd promised her the day off, but with school beginning in a few weeks business is mad."

"Then shouldn't you be there?"

"Absolutely, but there's only so many pushy mothers a man can handle. It's not like a first year can master anything more advanced than swish-and-flick anyway — a twig would be of as much use. Oh, stop fretting, I'll be off shortly. By the by, this half-naked thing. It's getting to be a habit of yours."

Harry took a tie off the hanger and slung it around his neck. He didn't even try to fight off the smirk. "I'm told that the weight of anecdote is not data."

"Let me," Draco murmured, stepping forward, his eyes flashing dark for a second as he wound the silk into a windsor.

He was more deft with a tie than any wizard ought to be, Harry thought, watching Draco's fingers create the knot, tighten it and settle it at the base of Harry's throat. The sheer intimacy of the gesture rendered Harry jittery and speechless, his skin prickling at Draco's proximity.

"Very smart," said Draco, stepping back and slipping a hand to Harry's waist. His expression was inviting.

"You are short," was all Harry managed.

"I'm not wearing shoes." Draco scowled, tightening his hand on Harry's hip and pulling him incrementally closer. Harry had to close his eyes in frustration.

"Can't," he said shortly, "not here." The prickle of his skin was now heat, flooding tension and want across him.

Draco bristled. Irritation at the interruption evident, he waved his hand over Harry's shoulder and the door closed properly and clicked locked. Wandless.

Harry's lust hit him in full force, literally staggering him forward until he was pressed tight against Draco, driving him back against the wall.

He looked dazed, and Harry could only imagine how utterly fucking fantastic a compliant and scratchy Draco Malfoy would be in bed. Harry kissed him, all wet heat and addictive. That bit of throat. Right there.

Out of sight: how Flowers in the Attic mirrored its author’s captivity

When VC Andrews’s debut novel, Flowers in the Attic, was published in 1979, it was not well received by all critics: one described it as “possibly the worst book I have ever read”.

However, her gothic horror-romance about four children who are locked in an attic for three years by their beautiful, conniving mother – who seems loving but actually starves and poisons them – went on to sell more than 40 million copies, was on the New York Times bestseller list for 14 weeks and is still in print more than 40 years later.

Now, startling parallels between the lives of the children imprisoned in the attic and Virginia Andrews’s own life as a severely disabled woman are to be laid bare for the first time in a forthcoming biography, The Woman Beyond the Attic.

The book claims that when Andrews – who spent most of her adult life housebound in a wheelchair – was disobedient, her “controlling” mother would imprison her in her bedroom and deprive her of a meal as a punishment.

“Her mother would lock her in her room and not give her dinner, if she got angry at her,” said Andrew Neiderman, author of the new biography, which will be published on Thursday. “She controlled who Virginia could see, what she could do and punished her for not doing what she wanted.”

Andrews suffered from rheumatoid arthritis but lived a relatively independent life before a surgical treatment in her late teens left her unable to walk and move her neck without pain. By the time Flowers in the Attic was published, Andrews was 56 and had been dependent on her mother, Lillian, for decades.

“She was trapped,” said Neiderman. Like the children in Flowers in the Attic, “her mother kept her under lock and key. Firstly, because she was ashamed of her for being disabled, and secondly, because she couldn’t handle it [Andrews’s disability].”

Andrews always maintained that the plot of Flowers in the Attic was “a fictionalised version of a true story” that a hospital doctor had told her when she was a teenager. But as an isolated disabled woman, reliant on her mother’s care, “she felt so trapped by her illness – and was so incarcerated by her mother sometimes – that she could understand how children would feel locked up in an attic,” believes Neiderman.
