I’ve been sitting on this for a few years now but could you please do some “subtle” yandere traits for Preston, Danse, and Gage? If not, that’s totally fine!! I’m totally in love with how you write yan Preston btw!!

》Thank you for the ask and the compliment.

Preston

His affection out of all of them is one of the more passable ones due to him not really hurting you. The biggest one being his need to know you're alive, even though you're breathing right in front of him. He handles you with love and passion to feel your heart beating through your skin.

Danse

As a man who just lost everything saying, "I've been thinking" is not concerning. At times he'll admit you were what he was thinking about. You find it flattering but you don't think to ask what exactly he was thinking about with you.

Gage

Surprisingly enough he is the hardest to tell if he's a yandere or not. Not because he's subtle but because he's a raider and him killing people isn't weird. Dangerous and problematic, yes. Weird, no. If someone gets too close to you physically they are losing something and it could be their life. Usually it's a hand or their genitals. No, you can not stop him.

The two "turbo twins" of Team Hot Wheels are always better when they are together.

So here's some pictures of them!

(Also, we apologize for the wait. Our team is all working together to bring you the first official episode of Team Hot Wheels: Imaginators! Expect it before the year is out!)

Summer of 51’s Day 1: Risk Assessment

I used to see these signs while driving through the mountains, and honestly, who isn’t always thinking of Johnny’s Smokey the Bear poster? 😌

Honestly not sure if this makes any sense for the prompt but it’s what came to mind for it. Also i will be posting these prompts alternating between my other account and this one depending on how much i like them tbh. Background image credits!!

Team Hot Wheels: Imaginators Update!

Hey everyone! HolyGhostFlo here with another update!

This time I'm not alone though! Our head writer, Grace C. is here with me! She's my boss!

I am not her boss. Also, I was coerced into doing this.

What she means by that is I FINALLY managed to convince her to have an online presence and speak to you guys. Hooray!

Sidenote: For the sake of clarity, my words will show up like this...

...and mine will show up like this. Hello, all.

Okay! SOOOO we are here to catch all up to speed with what's going on behind the scenes with Team Hot Wheels!

Starting with... the Road Pirates episode! Take it away, Grace!

Yes. I've been made aware that anticipation for our episode is building. Admittedly, it's a little nerve-wracking. We don't want it to be a disappointment, but if we keep attempting to make it perfect, it may never release at all. So, we won't dwell on it's imperfections... for too long anyway.

As for how it's progressing... well... we have more of it written out, but the script is FAR from finished. We are almost considering releasing what we DO have finished, and just coming out with the episode, part-by-part, until it's completed.

If we can't decide soon, we'll release a poll on the Imaginators database blog and hear what the fans have to say, that way we know what you want.

As for the next topic...

The DATABASE!

If you've been an active follower on the Team Hot Wheels database, you've probably been wondering why it hasn't been getting much content lately.

Yeah... that's our bad. Everyone on the team (which is actually just Grace and I), is an active college student trying to balance our academic lives with this project. Recently, we've both had to crunch down and neglect the blog for a bit, but rest assured we are still here!

I always feel awful leaving that blog hanging for months at a time...

That's why I try to draw new art when I can. To keep things going!

Speaking of which...

TA-DAAA!

You like? I realized we hadn't done a full team ensemble with their racer outfits on in quite a while, so here we are!

She never gets tired of drawing...

What can I say? I love my boys!

Alright, onto the third topic... asks!

We've noticed you guys ask a lot of questions in different places. Let's address that.

First off, we LOVE your questions!

We are always excited to see new ones in our inbox! However, we can't always answer all of them. If you don't get an answer in the time frame you want, here are a couple reasons why:

Your question is a request for something. Usually, if you are requesting a comic, or something similar of that nature... it might not be answered. This is simply because comics take forever to make. We'd love to answer, but it would take DAYS to write the script for the comic, and even LONGER to draw the comic itself. That doesn't mean you won't get an answer, as short strip comics are simpler to make and we don't like to leave your questions hanging anyway.

Your question is asking about something that happened directly in the original series, but hasn't happened HERE yet. We've received a couple questions asking about Monkey, from Build the Epic Race. We can't answer those simply because he hasn't made an appearance in Imaginators yet. Remember, this series is technically a soft reboot, what was canon THERE is not necessarily canon HERE. Oh, but if you're worried about him, don't be. He'll show up soon!

You're asking for something we've already planned to do, but later down the line. If you've asked for an origin story, you are both very clever and very stuck. We HAVE an origin story in the works right now, currently under the working title, Season 0. Unfortunately, that won't come out until MUCH later, so you'll just have to wait.

You asked an intriguing question, but it may not be appropriate to show up on the blog. In this particular case, it will sadly be ignored. Things like nsfw content will not be responded to at all, no exceptions.

If you feel like you can't ask a question on the Team Hot Wheels database, come ask me! You're definitely more likely to get an answer from my blog. All I ask is that you keep your questions PG. Please and thank you!

Can confirm, she'll respond. She's just as crazy as the rest of you.

I'm going to ignore that.

Last thing!

An Art Dump, from yours truly!

Firstly, a few unfinished sketches...

Secondly, a screenshot redraw I did for a mutual a while back. (Both colored and black and white version).

Thirdly... new character concepts!

This one was supposed to be the cover for a mini-story about Rhett, Wheelie, and Brandon getting trapped inside the Garage on a stormy night, so they tell each other stories to pass the time, not realizing a leaky tank of Liquimagination from beneath them is making their stories come to life! (The story was.maent to come out on Halloween, but we missed the deadline, so it'll release AFTER the Road Pirates ep).

...and finally, here's artwork that I finished but had no real reason to post anywhere.

With that, this update reaches it's conclusion!

We hope you'll continue to support us and our Team. Thank you for your patience, as always.

Let's hope next time, I can convince Grace to start her own Tumblr!

Yeah... not a chance.

[the-imaginative-hobbyist]

Too early to say, but I wouldn't be surprised if in a few years Smile 2 will be ranked among the best horror movie sequels of all-time.

[htchnr]

y'all my writers block is crushing me alive 😭 PLSSS send me Hotch, Ash Williams, Sam Axe or Brisco County Jr or Porter Gage requests 😭😭

angst or fluff pls (or both lol) i feel like i'm burning out on smut and my writing is getting repetitive and ew so no smut pls 🫠🥲

[mire-lurking]

Woe, angst be upon yee

Think about this plot for more than a minute and it'll start to fall apart probably but just uhhh please don't think about it too much😞🙏

So Sosu has been frozen for over 210 years, they came from a world that wasn't as irradiated as the Commonwealth is currently, so, why not give them radiation poisoning?

They feel fine when they first step out but even still, they can just feel things are different, everything, even the air, feels contamimated. Over the many years, most of the radiation has disappeared, people of the Commonwealth have grown a tolerance to the low amount of radiation that still persists, but Sosu being completely new to this world has no such tolerance and even with a radiation suit slowing the process, the poisoning still seeps into them, slowly starting to kill them. At first it's barely noticeable but the closer they get to their goal, the weaker they seem to get.

First true problem presents itself, the Dimly-lit desert- I mean the Glowing Sea. Even with the power armor taking most of the radiation, by the time they get to the insitute, they're severely ill. The fatigue, the effects of the radiation, it's all obvious. Despite never knowing them it pains the Father to see them in such a way, perhaps it was cruel to let them out of their frozen prison.

Nonetheless the institute is smart, has people to deal with what radaway can't heal, and so with time Sosu is cured but it's made clear to them; any trips to Commonwealth are risky, simply put their body can't handle the radiation.

Obviously there are companions that want the Institute destroyed, but I wonder how they'd react to this? Going off of the assumption that they're close to Sosu, just how willing would they be to write their death sentence by demanding them to destroy the only thing that can help them stay alive? The thing that'd let the companion keep their close friend, maybe their lover, alive? How willing would they be to sacrifice the person whose been there for them this entire time, despite Sosu having their own struggles to deal with?

And with X6? Oh with X6 just think about it. Time passes and he's, dare he say, attached to the future leader. Slowly, without his notice, he's started to truly care. How would he take it, hearing other companions, or faction leaders, demand that Sosu does the "right thing" and destroy the Institute, destroy the only place where they can roam free without a hazmat suit, without having to worry about radiation?

He'd be kinda angry about it I think

[saturnsfather]

nooooo scully dont perpetuate the extremely exaggerated and false claims about phineas gage’s mental state and behavior after his brain was stabbed through in order to make a case that the man mulder is negotiating with is a psychopathic pathological liar who was never abducted by aliens, further making the other members of the surveillance and negotiation team doubt the positive impact of mulder’s actions haha youre so sexy

[eggbagelz]

I love watching fob and mcr fans fight

[ratcready]

omg the thought of hearing fresh MacCready content makes me want to Cry

[hallowcked]

Gage falls quiet as Brooke stands up from the futon. He isn't sure what she's doing but he trusts her enough to let her wander around his apartment without needing to watch her. Her movements however do catch his attention when she removes his knee-length shirt. He doesn't have to say anything in response, everything she needs to know is in his eyes. She doesn't even have to touch him for his cock to fill with hot blood. This is the first time he gets to see all of her and he's not disappointed with anything.

He tries not to look so obvious about it but, nibbles and sucks on his bottom lip when she moves closer - until she's standing between his tattooed knees. His cerulean blue eyes flicker upward as he reaches his hands around her waist. That's when he notices another small bruise just below her right hip.

"You don't have to be alone," he promises with a cool breath against her pubic region. She's shaven or waved and the sight of her silky folds are too tempting for him not to lean in and taste. He's soft with his touches, pressing light kisses on either side of her pussy, before sliding his hands around to grab her ass. While holding her against the warmth of his mouth, his rough stubble tickles her skin. "We'll shower soon, babe." He promises with his chin resting below her stomach.

Then without any further warning, he opens his mouth and hot air blows against her folds before his tongue pushes between them - licking a firm line up her delicious slit. He tastes salt, sweat, and heat. The heat is what gets to him the most and he chases the taste of it with this tongue, burying it between her folds and then rolling it around her clit.

The warm weight of his tongue is heavy as he pushes deeper and then begins smacking her clit with its heaviness. He can hear just how sloppy he's being so he knows she can hear it too and it's what drives him to keep going.

"Hmph," he moans with an open-mouthed kiss and feels his drool or her juices leak down his stubble. "I love listening to you whine just as much as I love hearing your tight little cunt get wet." he rolls his tongue again, up her slit, separating her lips, then wraps his mouth around her clit. He can feel her buzzing and loves every second of it.

Muttering unspoken words with his mouth draped over her clit, he grips her ass tighter and bleeds down the back of her thigh from his wound. It doesn't matter how much his hand hurts, the taste of her cunt bathing on his tongue keeps him pulling her closer, even when she tries pushing away. "Not until you cum in my mouth." To make sure of it, he moves his hand down her leg and lifts her thigh, forcing her to grind herself against his chin.

The second the ice touched her arm, Brooke let out a sharp wince. Not because it hurt but because it was cold.

"Sorry," she laughs. What else was there to do? Besides look into his eyes and see the guilt manifest in them. She could tell he felt guilty about leaving her to fetch them drinks at the bar. But, she'd asked him to do that. And it wasn't his fault that Dante attacked her.

The more she reflected on it, the more it seemed less about him. Because Dante mentioned wanting to get back at her boyfriend. Which Gage was not. But Tyler had been. And he and Dante shared something in common now. They both were full-fledged Vipers. That's why he broke up with her, no? To fulfill his grandfather's twisted wishes. Brooke almost asked Gage if he knew Dante was a snake. But, then she didn't have to. It was confirmed he knew when he told her they used to be friends before Dante started to drift away and fall into the wrong crowd. Particularly, gangs.

Maybe Gage wasn't as bad as others would've portrayed him to be. He could've easily followed in Dante's footsteps, seeing as he looked up to him. But instead, he chose a different path. And like he said himself, he strived to be a better person. It reminded her of someone else she knew. Someone who wasn't in her life anymore and likely wouldn't be again.

There was something about that, and about Gage being so sweet that turned Brooke on. Enough that she decided, she was going to spend the night. And she was going to take Gage up on his offer to shower together.

Upon standing up, Brooke reaches down to grab the hem of his shirt and pull it over her head. It falls to the floor in a silent heap before she reaches behind her back to then silently untie her bikini top.

By the time Brooke was done fully undressing, she'd kept her eyes trained on his. She didn't even bother to break the silence as she nudged him with one of her knees to spread his legs open a little wider so she could slot herself between them as he was still sitting down on the futon.

With her hands placed on his shoulders, she smiles. "I don't want to be alone right now. Come shower with me?"

[team-hot-wheels-imaginators]

Hey, I was wondering if we could have a comic where Wheelie falls in love with Brandon and he has an anxiety attack because he is gay and doesn't want her to " leave him to".

...and just so you're aware, the letter never made it to [REDACTED]'S junk pile.

...ever.

[strawberry38]

hello

Anyone reading.

I have 2 more ideas, one is about bra and its stigma, like how you can't use it as exposed (like a necklace) pocket. And carry a bottle (those for protein, such a bottle. Like 100 years ago where your grandpa aunties from village would tell you to cover up legs (women body is sin we know, we're a meremain(meremaid, 》_》) should be hidden, hidden at night, with male guardian 'cause everything around us is predatory and we're helpless >_>) or menstruation is dirty, a toxic waste from where little fetuses place themselves as a warm and most secure space to then tore women apart from torture, ah, no biggie.

And if we would place necklace poket gag with a man at center would it be viewed more appropriate, like you know (then do jump jibble with an object there) not dress-coded-shame level like how dudes may expose chest, legs, shoulders, tummy at schools.

Another idea (I honestly thought I would keep 2 ideas short in two words: bras and need of protection,protectfulnessinstinct)

when you tell you are not alone at evening. They might be i'm glad or i'm calm now that you're with grown people. Ahem, you know that can be translated into not as i a female is helpless in a predatory place (can happed a few glimpses, good looking person, maybe at evenings a little strange less cultural and single people rolling i know), but more of you won't like more potential candidates approaching however their tratment or hidden, non hidden approach might be or just plain polite etc. So you know you won't infantilise a man like "i'm glad smb is with you i am calm now". Probably doesn't have a sisiter. And perhaps of them having older sisters they'd be not like emphatetic to women but surprise surprise awfullt spoiled aaaaand mysognistic and ageist. Why because that's a dude, he won't forced to do house cleaning and he'd be a pealr of the eye, because .. inheritor, of the name surname and everything else, property and honor and having a job and "oooh at last dis 3rd or 4th child is a boy gotta keep that one as a light of eye, Yeass. And yess approach since being a fetus smh".

Team Hot Wheels: Imaginators Update

Hey again, racers! HolyGhostFlo here with an update on all things going on Hot Wheels.

The Road Pirates episode is still being written, but we are progressing! I am personally very excited to see what the final script looks like, cuz then I get to illustrate some of the scenes for you!

Our writer is also working on concepts for other episodes, so buckle up for that!

As for me, my backlog of drawings and sketches for Team Hot Wheels is... a lot. I'm finding I actually don't have the time to do a full colored drawing to all of my work with so little time. However, I wanted you to see it anyway so here's a sketch dump of a whole lotta stuff I never finished.

...and here's some other pieces (concept art, unposted art, etc.) for your viewing pleasure. Including:

Character Lineups! + new teammates?

Friendship Bragging!

Angsty Brandon, but he combs his hair now!

Environment Practice!

Household Chores!

I literally just labeled this next piece "Uh Oh."

Make of that what you will.

and last but not least, some little teaser pieces from the Road Pirates ep.

Thank you for you continued support of our crazy endeavors! Continue to give us your questions and curiosity! (Seriously, we love hearing from you!)

[brokenmenswhore]

I hate to do asks but like just imagine this! At hogwarts there is a group that’s kinda like a polyamorous relationship but just for s*x and it’s like slytherin and gryffindor students and they decided they wanted someone from like a year younger so they start to slowly talk to innocent reader to get them comfortable around them before starting to get touchy with her (maybe she is a hufflepuff? That’s my house)

i’m a hufflepuff too 🫶🏻 thanks for feeling comfy enough to send me this ask if you don’t usually like doing that!

a proposition | poly!marauders

pairing: poly!marauders x fem!reader (james, remus, and sirius, featuring alecto, dorcas, evan, lily, and mary)

warnings: none!

a/n: i don’t even realize my sirius favoritism until i proofread a poly story and i’m like damn okay then WHORE

a proposition: masterlist

────── ☾ ──────

Everyone knew about it.

Even though it wasn’t spoken of in the presence of the students not involved, everyone knew about it.

It wasn’t exactly a polyamorous relationship, because a relationship implies more than just physicality, which is what it was. It was purely for sex.

It was started, of course, by Sirius Black. He had a casanova reputation, and after a while, he started looking to the same group of girls when he was in the mood. His best friend, Remus, unknowingly slept with quite a few of the same girls, and a lot of those girls slept with each other.

James didn’t have as much sex as his two best friends, but he quickly became involved. After a while, a group was established.

All of the students involved knew one another well, and were all somewhat close friends that had not romantic desires toward one another, but unashamed lust. It was a sex positive group, and was essentially just a group of students who fucked each other whenever.

Despite the unofficial, non-relationship standing, they all agreed to only have sex with each other. If they wanted to add someone into the group, they all had to agree to it. So, in a way, it was a relationship, but, in a way, it wasn’t. There wasn’t really a label on what it was, but it worked for them.

Everyone in the group was in the same year at Hogwarts, so they all related to each other well.

However, a few of them began to crave something new- someone not so in line with everyone.

Everyone sat in the Gryffindor common room at an hour late enough that most others were asleep. James sat on the floor, his back resting between Dorcas’s legs as she played with his hair, tying small braids from the curly strands.

“We wanna bring something up,” James said.

“We’re doing we’s now?” Sirius scolded, taking a drag of his cigarette.

“I just mean, there’s something Dorcas and I talked about, and now I’m talking about it with all of you,” James clarified.

“Fair enough, what’s up?” Mary asked.

“I’m wondering how everyone here would feel about inviting someone new into the group.”

Everyone looked around the room at one another, attempting to gage the energy of everyone else before speaking their own opinions.

“I vote we should bring in someone younger,” Evan added.

“Younger like what? Like wouldn’t that be weird?” Remus asked.

“No, idiot, like a year under us,” Evan retorted.

“Where the fuck are we gonna find someone a year younger than us who would be down to do this?” Mary questioned.

Sirius flicked a spark off of his cigarette, clearing his throat and sitting forward a bit. “I have someone in mind.”

“Has everyone been trying to scope out prospects? Am I the only one who hasn’t thought about inviting in anyone new?” Alecto asked.

There was another shared look, and everyone shrugged. They had all thought about a change.

“Who’d you have in mind, Sirius?” Dorcas brought the attention back to his statement.

“There’s this hufflepuff a year below us, seems super innocent though,” Sirius said, taking a quick hit of smoke, “blushes every time I look at her.”

“Is she hot?” Remus asked.

“No, I’m proposing we all fuck her because she’s not hot,” Sirius snapped, his voice laced with evident sarcasm.

Sirius told them your name, and a few of them already knew who you were.

“She’s super cute!” Dorcas exclaimed, “I’m super down for that. Anyone disagree?”

Everybody was on board with the idea.

────── ☾ ──────

“Go on, then.”

James turned to Sirius and Remus, saying, “why does it have to be me? You go do it.”

“Fine,” Sirius replied, “Remus, go talk to her.”

Remus threw his hands up. “What happened to being set on making James do it?”

Sirius shrugged his shoulders. “She’s not gonna be sitting at that table forever. You nervous or somethin’?”

“No,” Remus quickly replied, “this is just, I don’t know, weird.”

“How’s it weird?”

“Because I’m about to go interrupt the poor girl in order to talk to her with the intention of later asking her to fuck me and all my friends,” Remus explained, “I don’t know, it’s just a weird thing to do.”

“Fuckin’ hell, I can’t stand you two,” Sirius said, flicking a spark off of his cigarette and walking over to you. He sat down across the table from you, watching you intently as you scribbled notes off a textbook.

You didn’t look up because you didn’t even consider that he was sitting near you for a reason.

“Hey.”

You looked up, and Sirius was looking directly at you. The familiar tint of red crept into your cheeks. “Hi.”

He took a drag of his cigarette, kicking his feet up onto the table. “Seen you around quite a bit.”

You couldn’t help but stare at his lips as they wrapped around the cigarette.

“We do go to the same school,” you quipped, smiling to show it was lighthearted.

Sirius smirked, happy you were responding well to him. “I usually don’t get on with anyone that isn’t in my year.”

“Why talk to me then?” you asked.

“Don’t know,” Sirius said, swinging his feet off the table and leaning his torso over the table a bit, “guess somethin’ just caught my eye.”

He knew his flirtations would make you blush, and they did just that. You smiled as you tilted your head back down, pretending to look over your notes in an attempt to calm yourself.

Sirius’s smile only widened watching you squirm under his gaze. “Whatcha studying?”

“Fwoopers,” you responded, “but understanding seems to evade me sometimes.”

“You know who’s super smart? My friend James.”

“Wh-“ before you could even stop him, Sirius signaled over James, who approached you with Remus in tow.

“This is James, James, say hi.”

James sighed. “I’m not a dog, Sirius, unlike some people.”

“Funny,” Sirius retorted, “do you think you could help my new friend with some Care of Magical Creatures work?”

“Oh, I don’t- I’m all good, I-“

“Course,” James lit up, sitting down directly next to you, “lemme see.”

He pulled the textbook toward him, familiarizing himself with what you were reading as Remus took a seat next to Sirius.

You watched a few girls walk past your table, shooting you dirty looks when they noticed that the boys were otherwise occupied with you. Sirius, Remus, and James has grown to be quite popular, and them speaking with a random, younger Hufflepuff was odd. Remus noticed your shift in energy.

“You alright?” he asked.

“Yeah, I just- I’m a year under you, I can’t do your schoolwork for you or anything.”

Sirius furrowed his brows in confusion. “Why would we want you to do our schoolwork?”

“I don’t know, is that not why you’re all talking to me?”

James diverted his attention from your textbook, looking at you in understanding. He felt a pant of guilt for springing everyone on you at once, and a pang of sadness for the fact you didn’t think they would actually want to talk to you just because.

“You forget James is top of his class,” Sirius said, but James didn’t think the mood called for quips. He shot Sirius a look, taking over the conversation.

“We’re sorry if we came off a little strong,” he started, “we all just wanted to say hey. We see you around a lot and think you’re cute, it’s as simple as that.”

“Oh,” you said, suddenly turning weak.

Sirius was smiling and relaxing back into the chair, amused to high hell with how innocent and blushy you were from such a small little compliment. He was so happy he suggested you.

────── ☾ ──────

The following day, Remus and Lily caught you walking down a corridor during your free period.

“Shouldn’t you be in class?” you asked, directing the question toward Remus as they caught up to you.

“Didn’t feel like going,” Remus said, nonchalant.

“You can’t just not go,” you laughed, assuming he wasn’t serious.

“Be careful with this one,” Lily said to you, gesturing to Remus, “he’s a horrible influence. You wouldn’t have caught me dead skipping a lecture last year. He can be very persuasive.”

Something about the way she said it made you swallow hard, suddenly extremely aware of your presence and appearance.

“I’m Lily,” she finally introduced herself, throwing a piece of hair behind her shoulder. She was beautiful, and you became self conscious in her vicinity.

You didn’t respond, just smiled, so she took the opportunity to continue. “My friends and I are all headed to Hogsmeade later. You’re welcome to join if you want!”

“You’d want me to join?” you questioned.

“Don’t be silly, why not? Remus will be there too, and a ton of other really cool people.”

You contemplated your options. You had no reason to believe that Remus and Lily were not genuine in their invitation, and you were excited at the prospect of new friends. “Sure,” you responded.

Lily squealed and gave you a small hug. “I’ll go tell everyone you’re coming!”

“Why would you need-“

“Bye!”

Lily scrambled off down the hallway, leaving you alone with Remus.

“She tends to get excited,” Remus explained, “she’s the friendliest people-person I know. Can get quite annoying, actually.”

You giggled at his statement, and he took the opportunity to brush his hand against yours. You took it as an accident, so you didn’t even react, but then he intertwined his fingers with your own.

You didn’t retract your hand, but instead looked to where yours met his, and then looked at him. He continued looking forward, walking alongside you and not acknowledging what he did. He wanted to see if you would pull away on your own, but you didn’t. It felt comfortable.

You got ready for your trip with your new friends alone, since all of them were in Gryffindor or Slytherin and stuck to their respective common rooms. You caught Lily and Mary outside of their common room, and you walked with them down to Hogsmeade.

Now that you were outside of the castle walls, you noticed a shift in how everyone acted with one another. They were all very touchy, making sexual innuendos at each other and allowing themselves to have fun without restriction.

You followed as they immediately went to Honeydukes. Alecto informed you that Sirius had a serious sweet tooth, and always made everyone go there as the very first stop on their trips. No one complained, though, because they all wanted to anyway.

As you all exited the shop, Dorcas made a show of sucking her lollipop, staring Evan in the eyes as she did so. You felt your cheeks go hot, almost feeling like you saw something you shouldn’t have.

The next stop was the Three Broomsticks, and James saw your confusion as you reached the entrance.

“You okay?” he asked you.

“Yeah, just- didn’t you all just get a whole bunch of sweets?”

James laughed, “and?”

You smiled toward him. “Fair enough.”

“We don’t like to shy away from the pleasure of life, darling,” Dorcas said, imitating a very english accent. Everyone laughed in unison at her impression.

You all crowded around a table, and you remained silent, your hands in your lap for fear of obstructing the space Sirius had to your left and Mary had to your right.

You listened intently as everyone joked and talked about their current courses and professors, when suddenly a question was directed at you.

“So tell me, which professor do you like the least? I just know it’s Professor Bins. I mean, you’re crazy if you don’t say Bins,” Lily said.

“If I had to pick, sure,” you said.

“He’s never done anything to drive you crazy?”

“I mean, there was this one time he assigned so much work over the holiday that someone threw a desk out the window,” you started.

“Wait what? What exactly happened?” Lily asked, enthusiastic that you were finally opening up.

“It was just all textbook readings and analysis, especially about the Ministry and MACUSA and all that, and he said it had to be done by the time we came back from holiday. A few students protested, and he just got more and more angry until someone stood up, picked up a desk, and chucked it out the window. It happened so fast I don’t think anyone had the time to levitate it before it hit the ground.”

Everyone chuckled at the story, and you felt at ease now that you were becoming more and more comfortable with the group.

“And did he…”

“Faint from sheer stress? Oh absolutely,” you added, smiling as you spoke, your posture adjusting to mimic your growing comfort.

You didn’t catch it, but Sirius and Remus exchanged a look, nodding their heads upward at one another as Sirius gently placed his hand on your thigh.

Your body jolted a slight bit as you flinched, startled by the unfamiliar feeling. Sirius immediately pulled his hand away, but you turned to him, and spoke low enough that only he could hear. “It’s okay, you can leave it there.”

Sirius put his hand back, resting it low on your thigh. As time went on, and you continued talking, he began to rub his thumb on your leg. It felt unfamiliar, but soothing and intimate.

Of course you were attracted to the people at the table: they were all insanely attractive and kind to you, but you hadn’t felt this feeling before. Someone was touching you, and so intimately, and it was doing something to you.

Sirius began to slowly creep his hand upward, rubbing your inner thigh under your skirt, only a few inches away from your most sensitive area.

You shuddered and your breathing hitched in your throat, but you didn’t stop him.

You were suddenly snapped back to reality when you noticed everyone watching you. You looked around the table, slightly embarrassed and slightly confused.

“We have a proposition for you,” James said.
