365 Days

“Open it.”

Elain looked at him, her eyes widened in the most child-like manner as she whispered excitedly, “What is it?”

Lucien chuckled and poked her forehead gently. “The cherry to top this day.”

This day marked the first anniversary of their mating ceremony and Lucien had waited patiently for this moment.  A year had meant nothing to him — he’d been alive for so long that the years passed in a blur, but for Elain…he wanted to make this day as special as possible. 

He’d coordinated a whole day and evening with his father in the Day Court that involved all of Elain’s favorite things and it had gone perfectly. They were now back home, sitting on their shared bed and his heart was so full, Lucien was surprised it hadn’t burst from all the joy he felt. He’d certainly felt Elain’s elation as the day went on, almost choking on his own happiness. 

And finally…he had waited until they were back home to give his gift to her. 

“Wait! Let me get my gift too!” Elain said with a grin and excitedly darted out of the room. He watched her come back, bouncing in excitement, and crawl back on the bed, sitting across from him, crossing her legs. 

“You didn’t have to get me anything, dove.” he said, humbly accepting the square-shaped package. “You’re the greatest gift of my life.”

She gave him a playfully stern look and tapped his leg as a scolding, accepting her own square-shaped package from him. “You are my greatest gift. This is merely a drop in the ocean of gifts I want to give you. Besides, you’ve already made this day more than magical, I don’t need any more gifts.”

He smiled, shaking his head, and leaned over to kiss her lips. “You deserve the world and more, my love,” he said and gestured to his gift to her. “I’m excited for you to see it. Open yours first!”

Elain wiggled in anticipation and giggled then gently unwrapped it. When she finally opened it, she looked up at Lucien in surprise then flushed again in joy. “What’s this?”

Putting his gift to the side, Lucien gently took the scrapbook from her and held it so she could see the title clearly.

365 Days with my Flower

“Do you remember when we first started to get to know each other and how you would always shyly give me a flower each time?” Lucien began gently and Elain nodded, her eyes already starting to tear up. “Well…after that first time, I bought a flower press and started saving each one.”

“No, you didn’t.” she whispered, her lips trembling, reaching out to grip his free hand and Lucien chuckled, squeezing her hand.

“I did,” he said softly. “Each time you gave me a flower, I went home and wrote about what happened with you that day and how it made me feel.” 

“Lucien…”

The tips of Lucien’s ears had turned red but his smile widened. “It’s very…sappy but…every moment with you and getting to know you has made me a better person. I cherish each moment I spend with you and wanted to document them all, dove.”

Elain finally took the book from him with a sniffle, wiping at a stray tear that had slipped out. “Oh, Lucien.” she breathed, running a hand on the cover. “This is so beautiful.”

“I’ve lived for a long time,” he said quietly, as he looked at her. “But I’ve never felt more alive than I do when I’m with you. I needed you to know how much every moment we’ve shared matters to me.” 

Elain smiled at him and he smiled softly in return as she went back to examining the book then he blinked when she laughed.

 Lucien tilted his head, amused. “What’s so funny?”

Elain laughed again, wiping at her eyes then reached next to him to hand him his gift again. 

“I made you a book too.”

Lucien’s eyes widened then he started laughing as Elain giggled.

“Two peas in a pod, you and I, hm?”

“Great minds think alike.” she said with a grin and watched as Lucien’s hands gently touched the wrapping. 

Lucien looked up at her then. He looked at her as his expression softened and he swallowed. “I love you…so much.”

“I love you more than life itself.” she replied quietly, leaning over to squeeze his hand and smiled. “Open it.”

He smiled at her, one so full of love that Elain had to look away from him, her smile just as wide. 

Slowly, his hand trembling slightly as he opened the wrapping to find a similar book to his own.

365 Days of Falling in Love With You

Lucien looked up and found Elain smiling at him shyly. “Elain…”

“I know the beginning of us wasn’t very fair to you and we’ve worked through it all to be here today.” she began softly. “So, I wanted to document every moment of that first year…every moment of me falling in love with you and all the little things and flowers that reminded me of you.”

Elain leaned over and gripped his free hand again, squeezing. “I used to think I knew what love meant,” she started quietly. “But after everything we went through, everything that we did…love has a whole new meaning. Love is…too small of a word to describe what I feel for you.”

Gently, moving his gift off his lap, Lucien leaned forward and his hands reverently held her face. He whispered against her lips, “You are mine and I am yours.”

“You are mine and I will always be yours.” she whispered in return and the two sank into their kiss. A kiss like a breath of fresh air. A kiss that was always a benevolent claiming. A caress of comfort. A kiss that was home. 

A kiss they had built all their dreams on. 

Pulling away slightly, Elain squinted playfully. “How much am I going to cry reading this?”

“Probably a lot.” Lucien said with a chuckle. “How much am��I going to cry reading my gift?”

“Probably a lot too.” she said with a laugh and Lucien gave a dramatic sigh.

“It barely took a year and now I’m too soft. You’ve made me too soft, little dove.”

Elain made a disapproving noise and kissed him. “You’ve always been a little softie, my love. It took me a lot less than you think.” she replied with a smile that sent Lucien’s pulse racing.

He chuckled and returned her kiss, peppering her lips, jaw, and neck with soft kisses until she melted into a giggling mess in his arms. “I have been at your mercy from the moment I met you.”

“You do look very handsome on your knees.” she said breathlessly and Lucien eyed her cheeky grin with a smile and shake of his head.

“If I may be so bold to say,” he whispered and Elain’s blush deepened with another one of her giggles. “So do you.”

“You’re so handsome, it makes me melt.” she whispered and leaned in to kiss each of his eyelids and his scar.

“And you’re so breathtaking, I fear I might cease to exist altogether.” he replied, cupping her face to kiss her nose softly. 

She gasped playfully and curled into his lap further, snuggling into him. “No, you can’t! I won’t be able to exist without you.”

“Then you have my word.” Lucien said with a chuckle and kissed her lips once more. “Happy anniversary, mate.”

“Happy anniversary, mate.” Elain replied and kissed him again. “Next year, I’m going to rock you out of this world with my planning.”

“I have no doubt you will.”

And so the two sat in each other’s arms that night, rediscovering all the moments that had turned their mating bond from a single thread to a beacon of life, joy washing over them in every moment shared together.

2. “I could never not love you.”

When Bruce comes home from work, Alfred greets him.

He immediately starts to worry.

Usually, Alfred is tailed by a pair of little footsteps happily skipping behind.

Today, Dick is nowhere to be seen.

Bruce frowns as he lets Alfred take his coat.

“Where’s the little one?”

Alfred shakes his head. “I have yet to see Master Dick this afternoon. I’m afraid I’ve been quite preoccupied with preparing for tomorrow’s gala that it slipped my mind. Last time I checked in on him was after lunch. He was in the library perusing for a new book to read I suppose.”

Bruce hums. “I’ll go see if he’s still there. Thanks, Alfred.” He then makes his way to the right wing of the manor where the library was located. It was odd. Dick was usually so eager to greet Bruce whenever he comes home; is always by the door with Alfred when he enters the home. To not have him greet Bruce made the man worry. There was something wrong.

He finds out as soon as he walks into the library and hears sniffles in between the bookshelves.

He quietly makes his way toward the sound and feels his heart break when he sees Dick seated on the floor by a bookshelf, his little arms wrapped around his knees and his head hung low, tears quickly dripping.

Bruce rushes to him and crouches. He feels his heart beating out of his chest with worry.

“Dick? What’s wrong?”

The child slowly looks up, tears streaking down his cheeks. When he sees Bruce, his lips tremble and he lets out a heart-breaking sob.

“M-M’sorry, Bruce—M’ so sorry,” the child stutters.

Bruce is quick to wrap his arms around the nine year old. Dick’s cries get louder as Bruce tightens his embrace.

Bruce lets him cry. He whispers comforting words but Dick continues to cry.

It takes nearly 10 minutes before Dick finally calms down. When he does, Bruce gently pulls away just enough to look Dick in the eyes. He brings out his handkerchief from his pocket and wipes the tears on Dick’s cheeks.

“Do you want to talk about it, chum?”

Dick sniffles and nods his head, although hesitantly.

“We don’t have to talk about it yet if you don’t want to,” Bruce adds as he places his hand on top of Dick’s hair.

“N-no. I have to tell you, Bruce.”

“What is it?”

“I—,” Dick hesitates again before he nods determinedly. “I broke a vase, Bruce.” Dick’s eyes start to water again. “I-I’m so sorry.”

At that, Bruce’s heart steadies. Relief floods his system. He smiles at the boy in front of him.

“Which vase did you break, chum?”

“The one near the classics bookshelf…”

Bruce shakes his head, still smiling.

“Is that why you were crying?”

Dick nods shyly and sniffs.

“Oh, chum,” Bruce chuckles. “Everything’s alright, yeah? I’m not mad that you broke a vase.”

Dick’s eyes snap up to look at him. “R-really?”

Bruce nods. “Really, really. But what made you cry so hard, bud? Is it just because the vase broke?”

Dick hesitates again. “I-…I was afraid you wouldn’t to adopt me anymore b-because I broke it. I didn’t mean to be a klutz, Bruce! I really didn’t see the vase before I bumped into it!”

“Hey,” Bruce takes hold of both of Dick’s hands and squeezes. “I wouldn’t not adopt you just because of something as silly as that, Dick. I could never not love you because of something so trivial.”

“R-really?” Dick’s eyes fill with hope, their spark slowly returning.

Bruce nods. “Really. The vase is nothing compared to how much I care for you, bud. that can’t be measured by monetary means.”

At that, Dick’s entire being brightens once again. He’s back to that joyful kid that Bruce has come to love and treasure.

“And to be honest, bud, that vase was always so ugly. So, thank you for getting rid of it.”

Dick laughs, loud and happy, and Bruce immediately feels his heart lighten.

Day 286: Scene from the second chapter of my fic "But Now I'm Feeling So Beautiful"

(Frogwithastrawberry on AO3)

[anonbinaryweirdo]

it's been years since I've roleplayed BUT luckily I'm a writer so I get bonus points

[3416]

when people talk about auston leaving toronto... kinda wanna light them on fire

[k1d1c4rus]

Still doing ask game? If so DOES cboyz Pete shave his bikini line?? Or wax??? The people must know <3 And on a personal note, so good to see you joining us in Trohley world,,, its so beautiful here,,,

cboyz pete has a gorgeous fabulous sensational wax tech who Sorts Him Out and an epilator and electric razor in the meantimes (ingrowns are soooooooo Not Hot). so the answer is both !! he keeps on top of it pretty religiously.

also lmao my new foray into trohleyworld has been unexpected but very fun - I just think character wise it makes a lot of sense for joe to seek out that dynamic and I love writing relationships where like. some parts of them just Work but some are kind of fundamentally incompatible. it's so much fun

[eurydicees]

the fact that i wrote nearly 300,000 words of fanfiction this year makes me feel like an insane person. jesus christ. but also i didn't quite break 300k so basically it's fine i'm a completely normal and average person

[iceslushii]

[littlemourningstar]

Yikes almost forgot to update y’all

Fic I mentioned yesterday is plotted and I wrote 240 words for her! I’m gonna try to keep this one under wraps until it’s finished so sad face but I’ll try to do some art in addition to my writing the next couple weeks so y’all get fed at least a little bit 💕

In retrospect it really hadn’t been the best time to drop that particular question into conversation. Then again, Cassidy hadn’t ever really been known for his timing, at least not outside of battle, and definitely not when it came down to personal matters.

Today more than proved that.

It’s Tumblr’s 2024 Year in Review!

Hello, Tumblr. Welcome to your Year in Review. Grab a slice of hear-me-out cake and some tea or other beverage of choice, and settle in for another year’s worth of sweet, sweet data—brought to you by the folks behind your weekly Fandometrics lists.

How does it work, you ask? Well, each year, we collect and categorize data from every post you made, each search, all the tags you used, and each and every like and reblog—to see what you yelled about the most. Lists are grouped by topic using 365 days of data between October 21, 2023, and October 20, 2024. Rankings are based on volume of appearance—not sentiment, importantly—so you might see list entries you Do Not Like that Tumblr as a whole has been vocal about Not Liking this year. We don’t tend to include on-platform events, so while you all booped and BOOped each other to distraction, that won’t show up here. Those joys are simply unquantifiable.

But what can you expect to find? It’s been quite a year. Alongside supporting each other through and discussing world turbulences, you rallied around the things that bring you joy. You polled the heck out of pretty much everything and anything you could think of and created more fanart and fan fic than we could wave a moderately shaped wizard hat at. It's also been another huge year for fictional characters—arguably the best characters out there—so this Year in Review, you’ll find new and returned rankings of fictional characters from movies, video games, TV shows, and anime & manga. And finally, we've made the lists longer, which means you'll have more chance of seeing some of your more niche fandoms reflected in them this year.

That's all for now! And so, without further ado and absolutely no gilding of lilies, thank you for another Big Year on Tumblr, Tumblr. Please enjoy your Year in Review.

piano instructor!miguel “you’ve been over this a hundred times mami, again” he grumbles, pinching the forming headache fogging his temples. n watching you mess up over and over again as you play every song in the book… messing up every single one. but he didn’t need to be mean about it !!

“m’ cant, it’s hard” you whined, pretty eyes scrunched in frustration as you glare at the notes. and not the massive man sitting right next to you, trying to instruct you… and losing a lot of patience. you huffed, you were in your twenties !! just cause you were too shy in highschool to ever try piano didn’t mean you had to be here. with a man who was no doubt. intimidating. in every sinful way.

”your supposed to be teaching me, arnt you the best” you taunted brattily. you may be shy but it was no question the rich little brat you could be. n that’s probably what got you here, next to to this annoyingly attractive man. miguel. who was looking at you like you just said a joke. it truly was the first time you ever saw him smile, though it was more arrogant than anything

“really wanna test my skills, amor?” you hated when he called you love. hated it. cause why did it make your head twirl, and lashes flutter… in irritation definitely. obviously.

”Soy el mejor profesor, princesa. but I need to teach ya’ a few things in manners first hm?” of course he did. you both knew it when his gruff tone made your thighs clench together. only covered by your lacy pink skirt.

the same skirt that only moments after was scrunched around your pretty waist, your body sprawled over the pianos lid, and his face stuffed between your thighs. oh, you thought he was menacing before. now you couldn’t even wrap your head around it as his tongue taught you lesson and lesson again. you hated admitting it. that he really was the best ‘hands on instructor’.

but he had no problem repeating time and time again that your bratty mouth sounded a whole lot better squealing his name. and he much preferred your delicate fingers gripping his hair than playing those irritatingly impossible notes.

and oh god :(( his fingers were so thick. and long. and cruel curling inside your gummy walls. they did anything but shut your quiet, but quick of a sweet mouth up.

⋆ ˚｡⋆౨ৎ˚

@xaaaaaaax I’m sososo sorry for putting this off bby <3 made it a bit more brat taming such style cus hehe, he’s the mean instructor after all ;))
