𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 | aitana bonmati x reader
𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘆 | aitana can't stop thinking about you
𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 | none
𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗲 | this been sitting in my drafts for months hehe
Two weeks.
Two weeks since Aitana met you.
Two weeks stuck in a limbo, wishing to see you again. In passing years, confidence had become Aitana’s best friend. Consistent wins and titles built Aitana’s reign in the football world, which eventually extended to her personal life. Aitana felt untouchable. All her blood, sweat, and tears led her to this point, and she wasn’t gonna stop now.
Aitana knew she’s one of the best players of the generation, playing for the best club in Spain, and if she was being a hundred percent honest, Europe. She’s aware of the impact she has endlessly made in the community each year. It wasn’t ego talking but a simple fact to be acknowledged.
What Aitana didn’t realize is that her status and image could only get her so far. The world doesn’t excuse star athletes from it's desire to hurt. Before you, Aitana loved the world, and in return, they loved her. But, when she laid eyes on you, Aitana was instantly a goner. When your figure shrinked in size as you walked on, she slowly began to despise the very thing that loved her.
You barged into her perfect world with your hot Brazilian accent and beautiful smile. Who wouldn’t fall for you?
No one. A simple answer Aitana believed.
She just wished that when she fell, you would have caught her. Instead, you let her fall continuously into the void that you created with your absence, and Aitana hated it. You demolished her world, a world centered around football only to be destroyed so easily by a charming smile. Dumbfounded, Aitana spent days putting her picture-perfect world back together brick by brick.
For once in her life, Aitana felt pathetic. A familiar yet unfamiliar emotion aching in her chest.
In her youth, Aitana understood it. After each loss, she didn’t feel worthy, she didn’t feel like the great soccer player she strived to be. Aitana felt pathic, so yes the emotion was familiar to her. But, unfamiliar because Aitana didn’t lose a game that day, no, she just let go of the one person that sparked the wick in her soul.
Aitana never felt a spark with someone before, the spark that many described as fireworks when they met the one. As sad as it is, Aitana never experienced fireworks. She summed it up to the fact that she was busy with football, too busy building her career to feel those sparks.
Time went on, and so did Aitana’s hidden search for those fireworks. She eventually became immune to the romance surrounding her, couples left and right displaying their love that consisted of hand holding, hugs, and kisses…the list goes on. Maybe once or twice out of the year, Aitana wished to find someone to love, but no shooting stars were granted.
Year after year, Aitana slowly became content with her lack of romance…until that day on the beach.
Aitana remembers that day so bitterly yet so fondly, the team had just finished up their time in the ocean. Favoring their time left with the sun before it completely set. She recalls being at peace. The breeze blew cool air against her warm skin, a still state Aitana hoped she had more often. And then you came along, fresh out the water, surfboard in arm. Effortlessly, you exposed Aitana to a new adrenaline.
One she didn’t know existed and then when you waved at her, Aitana panicked. This, she liked a lot less, clueless to why she felt such a thing. Cool, calm and collected Aitana Bonmati panicking over a girl waving at her, how gay of her. She can still feel the internal embarrassment coursing through her body.
When you spoke, Aitana believed she entered paradise. You possibly gave her the best chat she’s ever had. Your heavy Brazilian accent was music to her ears. Your rolled r’s nearly had Aitana on her knees. You knew how to keep a conversation going, the lightness and flow lifted weight off Aitana’s chest. The freedom to speak without care was new to her and she loved it. You were interested in what she had to say, focusing on her like she was the most important person in the world.
The easy smile you had when she started to ramble and the twitch of your eyebrow when you found something amusing, if this is what people felt when they were in love, Aitana understood the addiction. You made her heart beat to cupid’s song, a rhythm that stuck to Aitana everytime she thought of you.
And it was cute until she found sad songs to sync her heart to. Her attempts to hide her feelings sucked, the team immediately noticed her shift in behavior. Not only was she actively restored to brooding, small ques of isolation and a long heartbreak playlist were following factors. They’ve never seen Aitana so emotionally impacted by someone, the Great Aitana Bonmati wallows in misery over a girl, never thought they’ll see the day.
“Her first lesbian heartbreak, the final step to her slut phase.”
Patri groaned, rubbing the back of her head where Frido slapped her. The team was on water break and instead of sitting with the others, Aitana sat at the edge, airpods blasting James Arthur.
Mapi sighed, yanking out her airpod, wrapping an arm around Aitana’s shoulder. “It’s okay, mi amiga. There are plenty of other women in the sea. We just need to get you in the right space to find them. How about we hit that nightclub by-” Cut off by a cleared throat, Mapi smiled innocently at Ingrid. The Norwegian removed her girlfriend from her dear friend, taking the prior spot for herself.
“Don’t pay attention to her. You don’t need to move on so fast, just go at your own pace.”
Mapi threw her arms out in offense, it wasn't just her who wanted Aitana to enter her lesbian spree. Cata, Patri, Pina, Misa, and even Jenni, who was all the way in Mexico, wanted to break Aitana out of her shell and right into someone’s sheets.
It was a daring plan that they created, too much riding on it if it got leaked. The amount of trouble they’d get in for messing with precious Tana was undoubtedly scary. Nonetheless, they got to work. Patri and Cata signed her up for dating apps, swiping left and right to find girls who looked similar to you.
Jenni was assigned to find potential matches in Mexico which wasn't exactly hard but Mapi kept rejecting them on Aitana’s behalf when they looked nowhere near you. Misa had a hometown friend that shared the same color hair and eyes as you but Aitana quickly shut it down. Yet, it didn’t stop there. Each rejection and failure, they tried harder, determined to win their friend’s heart.
Aitana grew annoyed at their foolishness, Exhibit A.
"No."
"Come on, it'll be fun."
"I'm sure it will be. But, I want no part of it."
"Yes, you do. Trust me, right now you're experiencing your first girl heartbreak and its shitty. But, to get over someone is to get under someone. Now, what about her?”
Aitana glared at Mapi, eyes staring down at her friend, resisting the urge to push the phone that was shoved in her face. “I said no. So, get that phone out of my face before it ends across the field. Leave me alone before I tell Ingrid.”
Mapi's jaw dropped, holding her phone tight to her chest. “That’s not fair!” She exclaimed, “We’re trying to help! Misa brought her friend to the city so you can meet her but you locked yourself at Keira’s which was really rude by the way! She was excited to meet you!”
Aitana clenched her jaw, turning her back to Mapi to continue kicking penalties. Jana giggled, patting a pouting Mapi on the back. “She doesn't care for them because they're Spanish. She wants a little Brazilian instead.” Aitana's head snapped to Jana, the young girl cowdered behind Mapi at the fierce glare.
“Who told you that?”
Jana peeked out from Mapi’s shoulder, “Patri might've said something about an accent.” Patri said more than Jana claimed, she knew it, Mapi knew it, even Jana herself knew that Aitana wasn't buying her white lie.
Mapi gasped, shaking Aitana in excitement. “You want a Brazilian?! Why didn't you say so, we can book a flight right now and grab the nearest one when we get off." Aitana stared at her friend eye-wide, Jana not too far off. Both looked at Mapi as if she lost her damn mind.
“You want to kidnap someone?” Jana asked in disbelief, was it ever that serious?
Mapi wagged her finger in the air, “No, I said grab. That’s different from kidnapping.” Jana shook her head, “I don’t think it is if they don’t go willingly.”
Mapi threw her arms to the side, almost smacking Aitana in the face. “Why wouldn't they come willingly? We show them Aitana and they’ll be dogs in heat wanting to meet her. I mean have you seen this face?” Mapi grabbed Aitana’s jaw in her hand, squishing the midfielder’s cheeks. “It’s so cute!” Mapi cooed, her baby voice in full effect. Aitana shoved the older girl away, sending a heavy glare for the mockery.
“I’ll end you.”
Aitana threatened, Mapi scoffed, not feeling the slightest worry. Aitana wasn’t a vengeful woman, she was calm and collected more than anything.
“I’d like to see you try.” Mapi cockily said, calling Aitana’s bluff. Within a second, Aitana stocked up on Mapi, yanking the phone out of her hand before launching it across the field. “You bitch!” Mapi yelled, running after her precious phone, praying that it wasn’t broken.
Aitana turned her back to Mapi’s slouching figure, pointing a finger at Jana. “You keep messing with me, you’re next.” Jana nodded rapidly, eyes snapping to Mapi as she cried dramatically over her phone. Aitana walked off leaving her two friends to deal with the mess they made.
“And I’m telling Ingrid!”
“We’re not flying all the way to Brazil just for you to set me up with a random stranger.” Patri just couldn’t keep her mouth shut. The more the others knew, the more they pressed. Aitana didn’t want that, it was frustrating enough to deal with her own emotions but to have more people hound you for it was just as infuriating.
She didn't want anyone that wasn’t you, she didn’t care for the girls in Spain and she definitely didn’t care for some random girls in Brazil. She just wanted you and that’s all she’ll ever want.
Aitana didn’t expect anyone to understand. Heck she didn’t understand it herself. The very first person she fell for, someone she couldn’t have known for no more than an hour, pained her in a way she couldn’t explain.
Her mind imagined scenarios of what could have been if you lived in Spain, if she found loopholes to see the relationship working out. It drained Aitana mentally, all these what ifs. And to show up at work or hang out to be constantly tested fueled her anger.
She felt like a laughing stock. For the team to know that someone tugged her heart strings was humiliating, double the amount due to the evident impact it had on her. Every woman introduced to her by the helping hand of Mapi, Patri, whoever was a few, pushes away from tipping the iceberg.
To the rest of the team, they knew very well that Aitana was bound to snap. She’s been teased relentlessly for weeks, they wouldn’t be surprised if Aitana became a loose cannon by the end of the month.
Aitana sat in her cubby, undressing herself from all the sweat that lingered on her clothes. Patri hopped over, nudging Aitana who ignored her. Patri smiled nonetheless, leaning closer to her, whispering, “I heard what you did with Mapi’s phone. Did she tell you about the match you made on-” Aitana threw her boots into her cubby, whipping around to come face to face with Patri.
The talking instantly ceased in the locker room, the sound of boots banging against metal gained rapid attention. The smile on Patri’s lips slowly faded away, the tension in Aitana’s face vanished any playfulness in her bones. “If you heard about that then you should’ve heard what I told her. Leave me alone, quit bringing up random girls for me to date. I don’t want them and I don't want you or anyone else meddling with my life!”
Seeing that Aitana was blowing up, Mapi came over to try to do some damage control. “Hey, we’re just trying to help you get over that girl. You were so upset about her leaving we just wanted to help.” Despite the softness and genuine intention, that didn’t do anything to rid the annoyance and anger building up.
“Well don't! How many times did I ask you to stop?! And you didn’t?! You keep making fun of me! I’m sick of it!”
Alexia quickly interfered, placing a hand on Aitana beating chest giving the younger girl a soft look. “Why don’t you head home and get some rest. I’ll handle this.” She assured, Aitana snatched her bag off the floor and stomped out the room, giving up the fight before it became physical. The doors slammed loudly against the wall with the force Aitana used.
Alexia spun on her heels, hands on her lips as she glared at Mapi. “This needs to stop. It’s gone on for way too long. I mean it, Patri delete that app off your phone. I know you still have it. Mapi quit trying to set her up with people she doesn’t want to meet. And anyone else involved quit the shit before you’re running laps before practice for the entire season.”
Alexia made it a mission to make eye contact with the four who were involved, the other two she couldn’t reach due to one being in Madrid and the other in Mexico but she’ll be sure to check them when nationals come. “Apologize to her. Buy her flowers, clean her apartment, I don’t care just make it up to her, Jonatan has a potential player visiting and we need to make a good impression as a team. Understand?”
Various answers were said, all pleasing to Alexia to what she wanted to hear. “Good. Patri, Pina, and Mapi starting tomorrow you’ll be running laps until you apologize. And Cata, you’ll be in goal for Aitana’s balls tomorrow, better hope she’s cooled off by then.” The four protested but Alexia didn’t bother to stay to hear it.
Keira winced at the slammed door, the blonde went by to pick up Aitana for their usual carpool and by the looks of it, yesterday’s mood still lingered. Aitana refused to visit their usual cafe after Pina exposed Aitana’s loneliness to one of the barista’s hoping to score Aitana an unwanted date. She even refused to listen to their morning playlist which always gets them in a peaceful mindset for the day.
The ride was awkwardly silent, Keira respected Aitana’s need for silence but it killed her the entire time. As soon as the car stopped, Aitana wasted no time rushing out the car, Keira quickly caught up expecting Aitana to be more dragged with her movements to hold off seeing the team.
“Going a bit too fast for me, Tana. Mind slowing down a bit.” The blonde chucked but Aitana made no indication that she was listening, noticing Aitana lost in her thoughts Keira stood in front of her primarily stopping Aitana in her tracks.
“Still bugged out from yesterday? Don’t worry, Alexia had a talk with the team after you left. They’re very sorry about their actions.”
Aitana blinked, “Let’s just get to training.” She left it at that, leaving Keira behind. As much Aitana wanted to act like nothing had happened in the past weeks, the brewing irritation and embarrassment had risen to a boiling point that wasn’t going to cool soon. So unfortunately for the girls, they were going to be on the receiving end of Aitana’s fury for the next following days.
Aitana pushed the doors open to the locker room, high energy today as loud chatter came from the walls. Time stopped for Aitana, her eyes caught onto the person standing in the middle of the room as if it's the norm. Talking to her teammates with a huge smile. How were you here? Why were you here? Millions of questions ran through Aitana's mind and none could she work out an answer to.
Aitana didn’t realize that you began making way towards her, even as her eyes followed you as you navigated through the room like you've been here before. You stood right in front of her, except there was no sun blinding her, all she had was the ceiling light, a very dim light.
You had a stupid smile on your face, happiness filled your heart to its content. You counted down the remaining days to return to Barca, to see Aitana after your first encounter it made all the move to Spain more exciting.
“Hi, Aitana.”
Words breathless, your heart pumping to cupid’s song made it hard to catch your breath. A beat skipped and so did Aitana, well, more like bolted out the door leaving you standing stupidly in the middle of the room.

hiii!! i love your writing, and do you think you could do one where american!reader and logan gang up on reader, but then logan "accidentally" reveals reader's crush on oscar? tysmmm <33
The Backfire
Pairing - Best Friend Logan x American!Reader x Crush!Oscar
Warnings - Fluff
Summary - Logan and y/n play pranks on their friend Oscar all the time, until one prank backfires and secrets get spilled…
a/n - Let’s get it. Also don’t ask questions about the half-assed pranks.
The three of you have been best friends for years, it’s no surprise really, after all you’ve been racing against each other since F4, growing up in a racing community surrounded by teens; pranks are not a rarity. From small things like changing the color of someone's shampoo to making a sponge look like a brownie and giving it to Oscar after a race win.
Fast forward to the present day where you are all in F1. You couldn’t really understand why it upset you so much when Oscar started to ignore you after played a harmless little prank on him, like you’ve been doing for years. So what does any rational person do? They go to their best friend and bombarded them with questions. Barging your way into Logan’s driver’s room, you bang on the door until he finally answers. “Yes y/n? To what do I owe the pleasure?” he says in a posh voice. “Cut the crap Logan, I need to figure something out and I need your help” you say voice teetering on edge. He moves aside and lets you in the room, where you both sit on the couch and try to figure out what’s going on.
“I don’t know what’s wrong with me Logan, it’s like all of a sudden after the prank he started being dry and blunt towards me. And normally I’d just brush it off but this time it just feels different? Like my heart hurts.” You breathe out. Logan just sits there like your own personal therapist, listening to you basically confess that you have different feelings towards Oscar now. “I get like tingles when he walks by or looks at me” you state as you notice Logan starting to drift off, “LOGAN WAKE UP!” you yell. He just looks over to you and says “I know what’s wrong y/n” desperate for an answer you gesture with your hands for him to get on with it.
“You my dearest friend, have a crush on Oscar” He lightly teases. “I most certainly do-my god maybe I do, please don’t tell him!” you begged Logan. He pretended to zip his lips shut and threw you the imaginary key, like he previously just did with Oscar moments before you came in.
Oscar and Logan
“Mate I can’t even talk to her anymore, it’s like I’m scared I’ll say something stupid and she’ll want nothing to do with me. You have to promise me you won’t say anything” Oscar begged his best friend. “Oscar, would I honestly do that to you? Hell the two of you have been making googly eyes at each other for years. You have my word, lips are sealed” Logan stated simply.
The both of you were trying to figure out a way of getting Oscar to talk to you again, you decide that maybe Logan needs to pull a prank on Oscar in hopes that he will complain to you about the shared American. Which all leads up to this master prank that you two Americans were up to, something you and Logan both missed about home was the firework shows that would be on display for the Fourth of July. Since you can’t just set off fireworks because you were pretty sure that it was illegal, you decided on a glitter box. The whole idea of the box was that you would disguise it like a gift from Logan, and put it in his driver’s room and wait for him to open it after the race, then poof glitter everywhere.
In hindsight sending in Logan was probably not the best idea, seeing as the two of them were still on good terms and can get distracted and lose track of time. So here you were, waiting for Logan and hopefully Oscar in your driver’s room. You start to grow bored and decide to shut your eyes. Unbeknownst to you, something major was just shared to someone special.
Logan placed the glitter box in Oscar’s driver’s room, and attempted to sneak out but was unsuccessful. “What are you doing here?” Oscar says with his hands on his hips. Logan whipped his head around so fast he thought he had given himself whiplash. Stuttering out some lame excuse about leaving a gift for his best friend. Oscar not believing it for one second gave him two options, the first one being tell him what he was really doing here or open the box to prove that it indeed is just a gift and not a prank.
Logan knowing what would happen if he opened the box, and knowing what would potentially happen if he told the truth, he decided to do the right thing. “Ok ok I confess, y/n and I decided to pull a prank on you with a glitter box, because she wants you to talk to her and she’s sad that you are ignoring her” he manages to spill out. “There’s more to that Logan, you and I both know it, she wouldn’t just be upset if I didn’t text her because we are busy” Oscar said knowingly. “Uh, I, god, she’s going to murder me” Oscar just looked at him to continue. “She might, maybe, most definitely has a crush on you. She told me like 10 mins after you left the other day”. Oscar, too stunned to speak, just left and practically sprinted to your driver’s room.
You wake up to someone calling your phone, and someone banging at your door? Seeing you have 10 missed calls and 7 texts from Logan, you immediately open the door thinking Logan would be standing there. Instead, you were met with a face you knew and missed all too well, “Osc- Oscar, what are you doing here?” you say shocked. “Is it true y/n? Please tell me what Logan said is true’’ he panted out because he ran all the way from McLaren to Williams. “What’s true? What are you on about?” you say seriously confused. “That you like me too, and like more than just a friend. Because let me tell you, it’s been killing me for years to not be able to say anything to you about it” Oscar pleaded. Torn between what you feel from wanting to strangle your fellow American, to wanting to just kiss Oscar, you decide to grab Oscar’s hands and hold them while you tell him the truth “Yes, it’s true Oscar”. Happy with the confession he picks you up in a hug and says “Well I guess I need to take this pretty girl out on a date hm?” You blush at the compliment. “I suppose so Piastri” you giggle. “About damn time, you two,” says Logan from behind Oscar. You shoot daggers at him and then he backs off, “So tomorrow at 7pm?” Oscar asks you, to which you nod “I’ll see you tomorrow then,” you say and then peck his cheek.

♡ Venus in the Signs ♡
𝐌𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐓 ☀︎︎ for all my posts


here is my notes from my TikTok-
venus ꨄ - planet of love, beauty and harmony
Venus is all about pleasure, especially pleasure shared with someone else. This planet concerns itself with love, romance and harmony in our emotional attachments, marriages, friendships and other unions (like business partnerships). Venus is content to spread happiness and tenderness, all the while teaching us how to love and appreciate others and the things that we possess.

aries venus
desire fireworks and a whirlwind of passion in a relationship. They can be like trap-hunters, rather than warrior-style direct. They'll set the trap for their target and pounce with feral efficiency. With, this dynamic, the native can possess a voracious sex drive. Super assertive and are confident.

taurus venus
:)
Venus is in her domicile here and the energy is lovely. This placement gives rich girl/ princess vibes. Lush green gardens, pearlescent royal baths, and water adorned with rose petals.
Venusian vibes! This native often has a natural aesthetic, being inherently prideful of their own beauty. I notice that they aim to perfect the "barely there" makeup. Women probably ask you for advice all the time and this placement has the tips!

gemini venus
you guys value communication to the fullest.
It helps you get deeper in your relationships.
You might be a sapiosexual being. You can get people to love and care about you in the art of communication. This can be online, in person, over the phone, by letter... either way you're diverse!

cancer venus
venus in cancer has the ability to create safe spaces for their lovers to feel freely. This is perfect because this lover desires, on a soul level, to be needed. They want someone a bit needy and even dependent upon them for emotional security. Cry babies are welcomed.
They do not mind the mama's boy, even. im a cancer venus- i can relate to this myself. I fall in love with my lovers soul and emotions and don't let go.
Soul bonds are formed with this placement. and people can become attached to your healing or nurturing abilities.

leo venus
DIVA.*.
"who's that diva!" ^ They are your goddess and their body and themselves is what you worship. They demand attention, compliments, and genuine appreciation. They do not want a shy or reserved partner in matters of romantic expression. No insecurity is allowed! You must be ready to shine with the Venus in Leo native, not hold them back.

virgo venus
she represents wifey material / girl boss!!!
She knows how to take care of her wellbeing and very nurturing. She brings beauty to daily routines and acts of service and values these activities. These are the hardworking hotties that manage to make it all look so aesthetically pleasing. Fresh-fruit infused water. High-quality skin care. Matching workout fits. Strict exercise regimen. These natives can quite literally spend their lives working to be the ideal Venus. The ultimate maiden.

libra venus
other ruled sign here, making for a harmonious placement. Venus in Libra attracts people like flies to honey & takes on the role of socialite here.
(Think of the movie " Breakfast at Tiffany's" type of vibes. Blessed with charm, the native impresses others in one on one conversation and contact.
This opens many doors and begets many opportunities! They are the must-have on the guest list.
scorpio venus
Takes love seriously, aiming to make their significant other happy even if it’s not romantic

KINKTOBER DAY 3: Tommy Shelby x Degrading
Filthy
Tommy Shelby x Fem!Reader
Tags: Degrading, P in V, Unprotected Sex, Cream Pie

! Smut Warning !


There were many sides to Thomas shelby when it came to, well.. everything, but specifically sexually; and in a sense, it was rather like you held a key to each one, free to enable them whenever you wished - and honestly, you had a particularly good feeling about today.
Sat opposite the man, the opportunity sparked like fireworks, not a trace of sensibility pumping through your veins. Tommy had endured a stressful day, that much could be gathered from his expression alone, and you were beyond willing to be his outlet.
Breaking the - merely momentary - silence, you, quite amused, piped up, "I'm gonna go get a drink, you sure you don't want anything other than that cig?"
"No, I'm alright." He monotoned, barely a flicker within his face, let alone a smile - though, to be fair, that was usual.
"If you insist." You mimicked his flat tone, suppressing a slight amusement as you took to an abrupt, purposeful stance. Barely diminishing any of his office's distance, you pattered mere steps to reach Tommy. Leaning a little downward, you sealed any lingering distance, planting a sweet, soft peck to his lips before taking a swift pivot to fulfil your promise of an exit.
Without the passing of a single moment, a familiar, unyielding grasp swivelled you round, body suddenly yanked back as you slipped atop his lap. Heat flushing through your cheeks, you met the rough, callous surrounding of Tommy's hand as it splayed over the back of your neck, pulling your mouth to his.
Seizing a fists-worth of your hair, he tugged you backwards, intoxicated by the most glorious balance of passion and exasperation. Friction kindled between rubbing fabrics, kiss deepened by the sheer insatiability of your intertwining tongues.
"Off." He ordered, a thick, tension-doused breath seeping through the connection.
God, there really was such an inevitable thrill in the nature of which Tommy spat out directions - it only injected you with confidence that your assumption of how he was feeling today was correct.
Standing from your position atop his lap, you began to rid your body of its garments, parting your lips to speak, "Thought you said you were alright?"
He merely grumbled, breath flooded with vexation as he began freeing himself of all fabrics.
The pair of you soon entirely stripped of concealment, you returned to your placement upon his lap. With a deep, sultry groan, Tommy's formerly released erection eased into you, swiftly pushing inside the slickness of your hole.
He, once more, stationed a firm, rather frustrated grasp upon your hair - eyelids momentarily screwing together as he adjusted to your familiar, sodden warmth.
You passed a thick, preparatory gulp, following it with a sharp inhale, "Take it out on me."
Tommy raised a brow, rather challenging your request, his action as if to say 'Oh, really?' - well, that and the subtlety of his smirk. You met the wordless communication with the simplicity of a nod, stomach burning with anticipation as you felt his opposing hand slam against the thick, naked flesh of your hips.
"Yeah, that what you want?" He taunted, voice low and infected with its so usual graveness. Eliciting a soft, heavily pleasured waver from your lips, Tommy so abruptly planted his first thrust, pulling you against its ferocity - allowing his tip to hit, to satisfy, a phenomenal deepness. "You want me to use you, eh?"
Immoral as it sounded, this response had you rather glad to know of Tommy's stressful day. You attempted to downplay your urge to display a quite frantic nod, intensity a castaway.
"Mhm." The word transmitted through a weighty, steaming cloud of breath, your walls clenching around their fulfilment as you revelled in such a divine rhythm of bounces.
At that, Tommy so abruptly altered the position, flipping the connection to the inflaming likes of your body bent over his desk, his callous hands clutching your hips as he stood - bucking - behind.
The rocking of his pelvis furthered in potency, motions growing vigorous as his fingers prodded at your flesh with each stroke. Exasperated moans seeped through your lips as his skin slapped against yours, length mercilessly throbbing within you, perfectly tantalising your tight, sopping hole.
"That's it, take it." He spat, body performing a relentless, though desperate, collision with yours.
Speech pumping through your veins, the pulses of your clit breached a previously un-touched level, heart racing as Tommy pounded into your dripping cunt. Your bare - increasingly balmy - frame rocked against the well-polished, now disorganised, desk with the force of each thrust.
"Just a fuckin' whore, eh?" Tommy grunted, sheer gruffness overpowering his breath as the solidity of his shaft glided between your slick walls with such great ease, "A filthy fuckin' whore."
The blissful weight of rolling hips sparked an air-full of lustful expressions, soft whines merging with low groans as Tommy stretched further inside you.
"Shit, please.." You stammered, overgrown breaths shadowing your words - leaving them barely audible as you were utterly swamped by the gratification of your nude, firmly-held behind assisting the deepest reaches, jerked against each thrust.
At your plea, a low, grittily rich chuckle drifted from the mouth of the man behind you, his body looming nearer to your own as such extremely brief, sloppy kisses decorated your jaw.
"You like when I use you, hm?" He teased, "Just my whore to use, isn't that right?"
Ignited by the lustful diminishments, you couldn't at all squash your frenzied nods.
Hole beginning a pattern of convulsion, the upward slope of a release began to steepen in the very pit of your stomach.
"I'm getting close.." You announced, information only enlightening a seemingly hypnotised Tommy - his sense of self intoxicated by the way your drenched cunt squeezed his cock.
"Fuck, so am I." He returned, words breathy and loose of dignity.
Flawlessly, the pulses of his tip tantalised your own sensitivities, orgasm building to its very brink as he continued to thrust his body in rhythm with yours.
The sharpest of moans darted from your mouth, release gushing over your entirety with a force much alike a fuse going off within you.
The inexorable spasming of Tommy's shaft between your folds suddenly expanded - familiar, hot ribbons spreading through your arousal. A dense, quite stuffy exhale departed his lips as he came undone within the warmth of your twitching cunt.
Twisting your head back, your gaze caught his own, a playful, undeniably triumphant smirk on your lips, "Feel better now?"

Thank you for reading and hope you enjoyed! Please feel free to use the asks feature on my page for requests of oneshots/drabbles/blurbs etc.. would be greatly appreciated, though I will be responding to them after kinktober since i’m doing the full month! <3

Take it like a Taker
Pairing: Fennec Shand/Fem Reader
Word count: 3.4 K
Tags/warnings: 18+ (minors DNI) smut, no plot, mentions of pillow princess shaming/reader identifies as a pillow princess, reader is insecure, oral, fingering, use of a mirror, Fennec is a tease
Summary: you had thought, by this point, that you felt quite secure in regards to your preferences. Sometimes, though, doubt hits you at in opportune moments. Luckily, the galaxy‘s hottest mercenary Fennec Shand is more than happy to provide some much needed reassurance.
Authors note: I’d like to thank Chappell Roan’s “the giver,” for giving me the boost I needed to write this. Also my period, for making me emerge from my cave so that I could bring you this smut. Happy Friday, everyone. Here’s hoping that your weekend is as hot as this🔥
Thank you @inklore for the divider

You’re just being lazy.
You recognize this inkling enough to know that it is, in essence, just an intrusive thought.
Unfortunately, being able to recognize a pattern doesn’t mean you’re necessarily apt to stop it. But usually, this one is relatively easy to dismiss.
Usually, you’re so distracted by her lips and her tongue and her hands gripping your thighs to force them apart, your only tether to reality being your fingers tangled in her hair as fireworks dance and explode beneath your tightly closed eyelids...but tonight, that isn’t enough.
That only increases your shame and your spiral.
Lazy, manipulative, selfish. When it came to your preference to only be a receiver during sex, you had pretty much heard it all. The Holonet, in particular, was a constant echo chamber of toxicity, badgering groups in already marginalized communities stirring up the pot just to feed some personal complex of moral superiority.
Usually though, the Holonet was just that, articles that certainly gave you the ability to roll your eyes from time to time, but easy enough to brush off and ignore, because really, who cares about what some random person who hides behind over articulated walls of text from some think-piece website thinks about you or your sex life?
This, though, was different. This had been casual, out in the open, right before your eyes. You had been at a bar, because the two of you were hunting for a bounty, and Fennec needed intel. You, unlike her, didn’t mind having to play a part to find out information from people, which was why, when all was said and done, the two of you made such a great team.
She was the hunter, you the gatherer, and hey, if you also enjoyed the benefit of the occasional rough, possessive sex that resulted from flirting with a stranger or two—mainly because you knew it would get you the information you wanted but secretly because you knew she was watching and you knew it would make her jealous—well, could anyone really blame you?
You had been chatting with a group of women, leaning casually up against the bar. You had just decided that they truthfully did not possess any of the information you desired, and were turning around to leave when you heard one of them, Callie, you think that her name was, hassling one of her friends to go dancing.
“Come on, Lena. Stop being such a pillow princess,” she had whined, the tone of her voice paired with the wrinkle in her nose telling you exactly how she felt and what she was so casually willing to admit out loud, when it came to people like you.
It had stung, this open display of disgust, as if what you were was bad, as if it was something wrong that needed to be corrected. And unlike faceless people on the Holonet, this wasn’t something that was so easily shaken or let go of, even though she hadn’t said it directly to your face.
A harsh suck on your clit followed by a quick swipe of Fennec’s tongue rapidly brings you back to yourself, drawing out a gasp, your thighs squeezing on instinct.
“Mm,” you cry out, before your lips are pressing together and you’re trying to stifle the noise, because for some reason this, too, feels wrong.
Selfish, the soft but insistent voice in your head no longer whispers. Instead it shouts. Shouts that you’re selfish, that here she is, giving you everything, and what do you give her, what do you do for her in return? All you do is lie there, and you take it, and what could possibly please her when that’s the extent of what you’re doing?
Lazy, selfish, manipulative.
The voice is like a teasing sing song, a mantra echoing and echoing until you’re biting down on your lip, not wanting to hear your own sounds, because there’s a part of you that thinks you don’t deserve to be making them, don’t deserve her and the pleasure she’s so intent upon giving you.
Lazy...selfish...
Silence.
Your breath heaves as your hips lift up, searching for her mouth, your core suddenly empty and cold now that it’s no longer enveloped by its heat. But it’s not there, she’s sat back on her heels, gazing up at you with a crease between her eyebrows and a frown on her pursed, glistening lips as she tilts her head, wordlessly scrutinizing your face.
You squirm, hips reaching for her once more but her hands are quick, drifting in one fluid motion from your thighs to your hips, lightly pushing them back down as she gazes at you, the softness in her eyes that she only saves for you still present but shadowed, obscured by her sharp, quiet contemplation as she crawls up the bed and takes your chin between long fingers.
“What are you thinking about?” she asks as if her face hasn’t just been buried between your legs for the past 10 minutes.
Something stirs within you. Guilt, twisting like a knife in your stomach. You wish you could say it was her, that she was everything you were thinking about and make the whole moment romantic instead of fucking it up and ruining it with your own insecurities...but you can’t.
Or rather, you won’t, because lying to her, especially when she’s looking at you like this, eyes dark, soft, but silently demanding an answer. You crumble beneath the weight of it and will always, always end up spilling the truth.
Still, it doesn’t mean you can’t try to evade her questioning if only to try and save yourself the discomfort of having to explain it.
“It doesn’t matter,” you say quietly, trying to shake off her concern with a barely there shake of your head. “Sorry. I’m just tired, I guess.”
“Mm,” she hums, clearly unconvinced. She studies you unmoving, then reaches up, finger absently tracing the outline of your lips. “I don’t believe you.”
Your inhale comes in slightly sharp. Her tone is blunt, but still hasn’t risen beyond a whisper. She strokes your cheek with her thumb, and you instinctively tilt into the touch, even as your heart races.
“I-It shouldn’t matter,” you say stubbornly, biting the inside of your cheek.
“But it does,” she counters quietly. “Clearly it matters to you, so by default, it also matters to me.”
She leans in, lips delicate as they graze the shell of your ear, the smallest hint of teasing entering her voice now as she speaks.
“Especially considering you’re usually so easy for me,” she purrs, and you can feel the warmth of her breath on your skin. “I can usually have you coming twice on my tongue in 10 minutes if I want to.”
Your cheeks flush, and her hands drift lazily down your sides.
“And let me tell you, sweetheart,” she continues, fingernails slowly raking against your hips. “I very much want to.”
She pauses, hands settling at your thighs, thumbs skating dangerously close to where you’re beginning to ache for her once more.
“So what was it?” she asks, even as her thumbs drift to your folds and deliberately begin spreading them apart.
“What?” you ask, blinking up at her, confused.
She smirks, but doesn’t stop as she shifts, nudging your thighs apart once more, settling back on her heels as she peers at what’s between, her thumbs still holding you open.
“Like I said, so very easy for me,” she murmurs almost to herself as her fingers just barely glide through your folds, collecting your arousal. A soft hitch of your breath falls from your lips even as your cheeks go pink.
“That woman you were talking to at the bar, sweetheart,” she reminds you, fingers ever so slowly tracing the outline of your cunt. “The one in that dress that was the most unflattering shade of orange.”
“T-That isn’t very nice, Fennec,” you say, trying to chide, even as the only thing that’s running through your brain right now is touch me, touch me, touch me.
“Oh yeah? Well, we both know that I’m not known for being very nice,” she says, shrugging. As if to prove it, her fingers drift upward, lightly pinching at your clit. You squeak, instinctively jumping to pull back. A hand on your hip stops you, but she doesn’t do it again.
She doesn’t go near your clit again either, her fingers instead lightly circling around your entrance, and honestly, you’re not sure which is worse.
“And you’re stalling,” she points out, one finger just barely dipping inside before just as quickly retreating once more. “Why?”
“Fennec,” you whine, but are quickly silenced when she pulls her fingers away from your pussy and instead presses them against your lips.
“Shh,” she breathes, her fingers lightly pushing past your lips, eyes smouldering as you instinctively begin to suck, knuckles lightly pressing down against your tongue. “You tell me what’s made you upset, and I’ll give you what you want.”
She pulls her fingers out, gently wiping them off on your still-parted lips. To your dismay, she doesn’t return them to between your legs, instead letting them drift to your chest, her warm hands gently cupping and squeezing at your breasts, all rough calluses and long, dextrous fingers that occasionally tweak at your nipples.
“I, she, she made a joke about pillow princesses, that’s all,” you say, hating how stupidly pathetic the whole thing sounds out loud. “It wasn’t directed at me. It just, it made me feel...”
You trail off, instinctively biting down on your bottom lip, as if saying it aloud will suddenly make it all true.
“Made you feel what, sweet girl,” she prompts, and gods, the way that she says those words is so uncharacteristically soft, devoid of any teasing or venom, and the hand that brushes down your stomach now feels almost soothing in its touch. Your eyes burn, and you swallow, a quiet, rough breath falling from your lips as fingertips glide up and down your thighs, light and repetitive.
“I-It makes me feel like I don’t do enough for you. Like I’m, like I’m lazy, and I’m selfish because I don’t do the same things for you that you do for me.”
The words tumble from your lips, unable to be held back at her continuous gentle probing. The touch on your thighs doesn’t cease, doesn’t stop in its movements even once you’ve stopped talking.
“First of all, the fact that you’re worrying about me and what I get out of this clearly demonstrates that you’re not selfish,” she says, her lips twitching upward into a wry smile. “But as for your other concerns...”
Her eyes sweep around the luxury hotel room the two of you are staying in, one of the few perks that comes with tracking down the target of a particularly rich client who has spare credits to throw around, before catching and landing on something at the foot of the bed.
“Come here,” she says, lightly tapping at the edge of the mattress. “Sit here on your knees.”
You look up at her, a mixture of confusion and curiosity playing on your expression, but you push yourself up onto your elbows nonetheless, crawling towards her before stopping at the edge of the bed, settling on your knees, just as she had asked.
That’s when you catch sight of the full-length mirror draped against the wall across from you.
“As much as I hate to admit it, I can’t instantly just make you believe that you are enough,” she says, moving around behind you, her chest grazing lightly against your back. “But I can make you see what I see.”
Her hands are back on your thighs, but rougher this time, demanding, and you are completely unresisting as she slowly eases them apart.
“Look at that,” Fennec coos, still holding your thighs wide apart. “How could you think I’m not enjoying myself, when this is the view I'm getting?”
You blush as you look at yourself in the mirror, at the goosebumps that prickle up and down your sides as your pussy is exposed to the air.
“B-But is it enough for you?” you ask, your voice little more than a hesitant whisper breathed into the air.
You look down, self-consciously gnawing on your lip. Fennec makes a low noise, soft but disapproving as she catches your chin.
“Look at you,” she says, and just a hint of sternness creeps into her voice, brushing against your ear as she leans close enough to send a jolt of eager anticipation straight between your legs despite your lingering doubts.
“I’ll show you how enough you are to me.”
She holds your chin for a moment, keeping your gaze squarely directed at yourself, her tight grip a warning before she lets go, fingers trailing down your side, your stomach, and you’re so worried she’s going to keep teasing that it completely takes you off guard when instead, two fingers part your folds, taking their time as they gather up your wetness, before gliding back upwards and delicately stroking your clit.
The touch isn’t much, just slow, repetitive stroking with the occasional circle, but you’re so sensitive, your hips are already tilting into it, unable to keep still as she pleasures you.
“Bet it won’t take much,” Fennec observes, a low chuckle in her voice. “Bet you’re so on edge, I could make you come just by doing this.”
You whine, not wanting to agree for fear of sounding pathetic. But really, she’s right. In your state, the soft, tempting brush of her fingers might just be enough to carry you through to an orgasm. And really, how embarrassing is that?
“Now that wouldn’t be much fun, would it?”
She gives you no time to respond. As soon as the question has left her lips her hand is sliding down, taking a moment to appreciatively cup the heat of your mound before two fingers are teasing apart your folds, pressing inside until they sink down to the knuckle. Her palm grinds against your clit, equally as unrelenting as her fingers curl upward, and just like that, you are lost, all embarrassment forgotten as your lips part in an unseemly moan.
“Fuck,” Fennec groans, eyes darkening as she gazes over your shoulder into the mirror. You feel her lean, solid muscles pressing against your back, gasping as she languidly rolls her hips, leaning down to nip at your shoulder as she enjoys the sensation of pressing herself against your ass.“I could come just from watching you, you know that? Just look at how tempting you are.”
Her free hand works its way into your hair, tugging until you look exactly where she wants you to, just in time to watch your own eyes widen and lose focus through the reflection of the mirror as she smoothly rocks her fingers up into you.
You can see her eyes, dark, watching, enthralled, as if nothing more in the world matters to her than the simple act of getting you off. Still, doubts creep in, even as mindless sounds fall from your lips and you eagerly begin rocking your hips against her hand, meeting her every thrust with abandon.
“That’s it,” she coos, leaning forward to press her nose against your neck and inhaling, shivers dancing up and down your spine as she stays there, occupying herself with finding that one familiar spot on your neck she enjoys, the one that always leaves you breathless, now being no exception. When she finally brushes over it with her lips, a high, broken noise follows soon after as she indulges it with a slow, fluttering drag of her tongue.
Her fingers grasp at your chin, their grip light this time. When she tilts your face up towards hers, her lips are soft and gentle as she leans down to melt them against yours in a slow, surprisingly tender kiss, despite the way her fingers are still pressed inside you, curling and twisting in that confident, steady rhythm that always manages to drive you crazy and your brain to short out with desire and pure, unadulterated need.
“There’s no need to rush this,” she murmurs, the soft breath accompanying her words warm against your lips. It’s as if she can read your mind, as if she can hear every lingering doubt and uncertainty still nagging at you without you having to say a word.
She guides your chin back towards your reflection in the mirror, letting her chin drop to rest on your shoulder, gazing with open arousal and want as she watches her fingers work between your spread thighs.
“As eager as I am to watch you fall apart, I’m in no hurry to pull my fingers out of this pretty little pussy.”
For some reason this, ironically, is the thing that sends you over the edge and makes you shatter.
She wants this. She wants you, not because she has some expectation of what you might do for her in return, but just because this, you, right now, is what she wants. And even though you struggle to comprehend why that might be at the moment, the quiet, arousal-soaked words so filthy as they’re whispered against your heated skin yet somehow still laced with the quiet, steady reassurance she always has unflinchingly given you, is exactly the permission that you didn’t know you needed to let go.
“Fennec,” you gasped, every other word smoothly being erased from your mind as if it’s a clean slate. You’re now keenly aware of how tightly your toes are curled beneath you, every quiet hitch in the mattress as your legs ceaselessly begin to shake, until suddenly they’ve stopped, because every muscle in your body has locked up, going tense as your release crashes into you like a wave.
Warm, fiery heat licks its way down your stomach and your tense and trembling thighs. All the while, Fennec’s fingers continue to thrust, fucking you through it even as your vision blurs, your back arching even as your mind goes blank, thoughtlessly trying to take her deeper.
Somehow, she keeps you upright. Somehow, slowly, your awareness sharpens to more than just the way your walls flutter and contract around her fingers before they carefully slip out of you. Somehow, you find yourself lying down on the bed, pillows strategically placed beneath you to prop up your hips.
Her hair tickles your stomach, soft, wet kisses mindlessly pressed against your navel as her head simply rests there. You look down at her, blinking slowly, still trembling as you come down from your high.
“Think you can take more?” she asks, her words a soft hum against your skin.
“For you? Anything,” you say, your voice still shaky and breathless.
“I knew you’d say that,” she says, her words low and sultry before her tongue slowly drags along your skin, sweeping from just beneath your belly button all the way down to your mound, pausing before she pulls back only slightly to blow a teasing stream of air directly at your clit. Your hips jump, torn between sensitivity and eagerness, and a hitched breath falls from your parted lips as she looks up at you and smirks.
“How could you think yourself lazy when you’re so eager to come for me,” she asks, not really expecting an answer. “Are you still wondering what I get from this, pretty girl?”
You bite your lip, shivering as you look down at her once again between your legs. The image is familiar, but it still manages to make your throat feel dry, and all you can do is nod.
“I get this,” she says, before her tongue snakes out to teasingly circle around your clit. “I get you, lying here and looking so pretty.”
Her hands slowly settle on your knees, pressing them upward until they’re against your chest. She pushes them apart before returning to your clit, sucking the now swollen bud into her mouth until you’re arching and squirming beneath her.
“I get you spread out and willing and eager to take whatever I give you,” she continues, taking a moment to admire your position before settling your legs over her shoulders. Do you realize how much of a turn on that is for me?”
“N-Not really?” you admit, and there is a breathy, self-conscious giggle in your voice.
“Well then,” she says, a smug challenge in her voice.
She doesn’t break eye contact with you as her mouth lowers, her tongue flat as it circles your entrance before pressing in and out in one, two, three deliberate strokes that have you whimpering, your eyes fluttering shut as your hips eagerly lift towards her just-as-wanting mouth.
“I am happy to show you.”

Well, I don’t know about you, but I certainly had fun writing that😏 i’ve been dying to get my hands on writing for Fennec/reader for suuch a long time. Just was waiting for the right moment to scratch the itch. Comments/reblogs are super Duper appreciated.💕 thanks so much for reading

FOR SALE - Charming country estate on large natural property rich with vibrant history, dying for some light restoration!
A uniquely remote location hours from the nearest town will whisk you away from crowded civilization, but don’t worry about getting lonely - you'll be charmed by regular visits from previous residents of the property, who loved it so much they can't seem to say goodbye!
As any adventurous renovator will surely understand, this is a historical property that has not been occupied for a hundred years, so SOME aging & decay are to be expected; all part of the experience! The structures sometime have minor issues with walls & ceilings rotting into the writhing undead flesh of a thousand cursed infernal souls, but it’s nothing some holy water and a good chainsaw can’t cut through! OR just wait until the next full moon, when the unholy manifestation of Lady Sarabetha the Forsaken, Demon Witch of the Shifting Zones, Culler of the Bloodless, will appear again for The Razing, in which she sets the building ablaze with hellfire, cleansing it of escaped souls. It’s QUITE a show, and nothing to worry about: the hellfire will NOT burn you or your possessions or your pets (probably), it ONLY razes the undead fleshrot cursed to grow anew in an endless cycle of pain for all eternity! You’ll feel nothing more than a tickle as the flames pass over you, boiling the blood-soaked walls back to their original BEAUTIFUL oak construction! You can even sleep right through The Razing, but you probably shouldn’t, it can cause nightmares so severe you’ll be unable to sleep or eat or speak ever again. But who would want to miss such a unique event anyway! Think of it as an included cleaning service AND fireworks display! Just keep your eyes on the flames and NOT on Lady Sarabetha! Any direct eye contact will be taken as a challenge to Her authority over the curse - not recommended unless you’re VERY well versed in the regional dialect of ancient arcane black magic spells!
Asking price $3.2 million, all-cash offers encouraged, bidding will be very competitive! Contact Trish at Sarabetha Family Realty

New Year - Sanders Sides
It's like 2am and it's appropriate. Prinxiety nation, human roommate au. You know the drill.
Having a community of young people who look to you and your work for comfort and feeling unable to provide when you didn't expect the pressure in the first place sounds heavy to shoulder alone. It makes sense that the last few years have been unstructured with the context. Because I know there's a chance Sanders himself is seeing this: you did something great.
Happy New Year, fuckbags
It's a tame environment. There are only six of them and everyone would rather be in bed, but the year has been so taxing that it feels right to sign it off with a huge middle finger and then go to bed. All there is to do is wait.
Barely a minute left until New York lights up on the TV and Logan has finished his second glass of wine in the last five. Patton is hunched with his obnoxiously long fingers against his temple, resisting the temptation of accepting yet another offer for a glass and opting to nurse the sleep-deprived headache in stead. Roman has put himself on the couch, fiddling with a pen and its lid from the coffee table. Virgil is on the arm of the couch, crouched like an obnoxious prick in an attempt to express his edge, which only really serves to make him look like a dork and unintentionally lightens the mood a smidge.
"Where are the chuckle twins?" Logan poses, observing the swirl in his drink as it settles from being poured.
"Janus said 'surprise' when he went into his room," Patton answers.
"Remus went with him," Virgil grumbles.
The silence reignites as a door opens from down the hall. Remus walks out with a tray of six shot glasses, brimming with syrupy liqueur. Janus walks a metre behind him, head held high.
"We'll all sleep better after this," he insists proudly as Remus parades the tray around, face blank and ashy as slate. He doesn't take sleep deprevation particularly well, but he handles it better than Roman copes with Janus sitting beside him. Where Virgil has turned and planted his feet on the couch seat, Roman parks himself, arms curling around his waist as the countdown starts. The crowd on the street chants and the six watch, breath held.
"HAPPY NEW YEAR!" It screeches, fireworks filling the screen with a blinding light, flooding the living room with a rectangular explosion of warm white. The group heaves a collective sigh.
Before the festivities can draw themselves out too long, Virgil leans down and over Roman, placing his fingers flat and sideways beneath his chin. In compliance with a rhythm long established, Roman closes his eyes and allows Virgil control. Their lips part, connect, and close around the other's in a chaste display of commitment and affection. Roman seasons the display by running his hand up Virgil's outer thigh.
"Oh! Well, if we're getting crazy," Patton posits with a muted smile, skirting the breakfast bar he'd been slumped on and bending over the couch. Janus looks up and to the side to recieve and return what he had rightly expected to be a sweet, tired peck. It brings a modest and satisfied smile out of the shadow that was his bored expression.
"This does not constitute crazy," Logan commented, unbeknownst to the presence lurking behind him. It makes first contact with his waist, cold fingers slid beneath his sleep shirt. He sucks in a shocked breath as the ice burns his skin. "You do."
"Love you, too."
Janus sits up and addresses the three behind them with a raise of his glass. "Are we ready?"
"Affirmative."
"Yeah."
"Okay..."
"Indeed!"
"I don't have to, do I?"
"No, dear, but it's not ordinary spirit. I think you'll like it." Patton grimaces at his glass and observes the others. A beat passes, Janus gestures to the room with his drink and everyone follows his lead in taking the shot.
"It's almost unbearably sweet."
"I did not expect that coming from you, Logan," Roman comments as he inspects his cup. "Do you not like toffee?"
"I didn't say that."
"No need for the defenses, Doc, I only asked."
"He just wants us to know to save him some whenever it's goin' 'round," Virgil swoops in, smile on his face, voice raspy. Roman takes his glass and hands it to Patton.
"I wonder why you chose something so sweet," Roman implicates. Janus turns around and looks up at Patton, who is smiling with such soulful conviction that it hurts.
"I loved it."
'Score,' Janus thinks as he settles into the couch and joins the others in watching the screen.

Hello, everyone. Homelander here.
Another year over and gone, huh? Where does time go? It’s flying by almost as quickly as me haha…almost.
This year has been a rather big one for me. A lot has changed. I’ve gained a loving partner, a family, even those so called friends things you mudpeople have. I’ve also been blessed with a wolf pup who is my pride and joy, and had various artworks drawn of me.
2023 will always be a special year. It’s the year where I finally had some sort of life outside of Vought. It’s been a year of revelation, of discovery. Of growth. And of course only furthering your obsessions with me.
Which brings me to my next point: 2024. It’s going to be bigger and better. It’s going to knock 2023 out of the park with my Presidential Campaign. I’m sure I can count on you all to vote correctly.
Happy New Year, mudpeople. 2024 is my year.
- H 🇺🇸
P.S: Enjoy the fireworks display near Vought Tower. You’re welcome.
//Hey guys, Mun here.
It’s officially 2024 here in the UK and I just wanna wish you all a very, very Happy New Year! 🎉🥳
Pat yourself on the back for making it through the highs and lows of 2023. This is your fresh start. I truly hope it’s a good year for you all. I hope you’ve got things lined up to look forward to, and even not, I hope this year is another great chapter for you full of wonderful and amazing surprises.
Just remember: no matter how bad it got, you pulled through. You made it. You showed life who’s boss. This year? Be the baddest badass you can be. 💪
I also just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to all of you that I’ve interacted with over the past year. To the new friends I’ve made and the little RP community that’s developed and grew. I never ever expected any of this when making my Homie blog. It’s been incredible fun writing with you all and answering your questions.
Thank you for letting Homie into your lives and for giving me the chance. I’ve always tried my best to do him justice and I’m constantly trying to improve. It means the world to me that you guys like him and interact. I truly do appreciate it and love you all for it. Thank you.
From my heart to yours, I truly wish you all the very best for 2024.✌️💙🏴
- Mun
#antony starr#homelander#ask homelander#the boys#the boys amazon#the boys tv#the boys series#happy new year#//ootc: long post is long i do apologise#//ootc: out of the cape#i’ll queue every last one of you

Happy New Year 2024: A Fresh Start for a Bright Future
Shaina Tranquilino
January 1, 2024
As the clock strikes midnight and fireworks illuminate the night sky, we bid farewell to another year and welcome the dawn of a brand-new chapter in our lives. Happy New Year, everyone! January 1st, 2024 marks the beginning of not only a new year but also an opportunity for fresh beginnings, personal growth, and endless possibilities.
The transition from one year to another is always accompanied by a sense of excitement and anticipation. It's like turning the page in a book, eager to discover what lies ahead. And as we embark on this journey into 2024, it's important to reflect on the lessons learned, celebrate our achievements, and set goals for the future.
Looking back at the challenges we faced in the previous year, it's remarkable how resilient and adaptable we have become. From navigating global crises to adapting to remote work environments, we have proven time and again that together we can overcome any obstacle. The collective strength and determination displayed by communities worldwide serve as a reminder that even in times of adversity, hope prevails.
Entering 2024 with optimism sets the stage for personal growth and self-improvement. It's an opportunity to evaluate our priorities and realign ourselves with what truly matters. Whether it's focusing on physical well-being, nurturing relationships, or pursuing long-awaited dreams – let this be the year where we prioritize self-care and make conscious efforts towards achieving our aspirations.
Moreover, let us not forget about spreading kindness and compassion throughout this new year. In a world often filled with division and strife, acts of goodness go a long way towards creating positive change. Reach out to your loved ones more frequently; lend a helping hand to those in need; embrace diversity and encourage inclusivity – these simple gestures can shape a brighter future for all.
In addition to personal growth, setting realistic goals can guide us towards success. Whether it's landing that dream job, travelling to a new destination, or learning a new skill – let these goals act as stepping stones towards personal fulfillment. Remember, the journey is just as important as the destination. Embrace every step along the way and celebrate progress, no matter how small.
As we embark on this new year, let us also take a moment to appreciate the beauty of life itself. Cherish sunsets, laughter-filled gatherings with friends and family, and moments of solitude where you find solace in your own company. Life is a precious gift, and it's up to us to make the most of each passing day.
So here's to 2024 – a year filled with hope, growth, and endless possibilities. Let us enter this chapter of our lives with open hearts and minds, ready to seize opportunities and create positive change both within ourselves and in the world around us.
From Tumblr: Harmony Healing Hub and Etsy: Flower Therapy Healer, I wish you a Happy New Year! May this be the beginning of an incredible journey towards self-discovery, love, and joy. Cheers to a bright future ahead!
#2024#New beginnings 2024#fresh start#happy new year#bright future ahead#optimism 2024#new year joy#out with the old and in with the new#positive vibes#hopeful beginnings#cheers to 2024#new year new possibilities#happy new year 2024#2024 new year#new year#Happy New Year

FESTIVE FEAST EVENT
It is no surprise that the people of Redwood Hollow love a good party, but as the festive season rolls in, it seems the Community Events Committee are making things a little more formal for their winter celebrations.
The people of Redwood Hollow are cordially invited to a town-wide feast. What better way to beat the winter blues than with a full belly and a full heart? Local businesses and caterers have been kind enough to offer a reduced rate on meals, and town's folk have volunteered their own cooking skills to put food on the tables too. The main celebration will take place within Town Hall, with seats reserved at the top tables for our most valued members of Redwood Hollow, including The Mayor and his Council, the founding families and lucrative sponsors including the illusive Mr. Borovsky, who has made recent investments in the town's local economy. The tables will spill out into Town Square, with heated marquees and fires to gather round and roast your chestnuts on.
While tickets are required to be purchased in advance, part of the price will go toward various local charities.
Our Festive Feast will take place on December 8th, with dinner commencing at 6 O'clock. Live entertainment will follow from 8:30pm, with a night ending with a Holiday Lights switch on and fireworks display.
——————
An OOC information post will be made shortly with OOC details for players, and will be linked in the source once posted. This event will take place between Friday 8th December and Sunday 7th of January OOC to give everyone a chance to take part during the festive period. In character, this event will have taken place on December 8th.
This event will be a kick off for the next phase of our plot. All players who have volunteered to be involved will be messaged shortly. If you would like to volunteer your character for any plot drop related business at the event, reply with their name!
Please like this post once you have read it.

please read the triggers found in the tags + find a summary sans triggers below the cut if you do not wish to read the plot drop
many party goers were nervous to attend such a large and public gathering after not only one, but two murders. questions of both investigations were certainly the talk of the crowds, whispers and blame being thrown in all directions. many still blame the vampires for the first death, despite not a single puncture wound being discovered on the body, and who but the dragons could put someone at the top of a building ? assumptions are being made left and right, dividing the once quiet and somewhat peaceful city.
but all seemed to be going well. the clock chimed midnight, and the sky light up with a beautiful display of fireworks thanks to the witches, followed by a delicious champagne toast catered by the dragons. was it this the perfect ending to the year ? could they start the new year on a peaceful foot?
of course not.
a loud scream pitched higher than the cheering crowds, casting a hush across solaris plaza. very soon all guests would see what the scream was for as a body was hurtling down towards the masses. scattering, fear of something landing on them, created the gap for the thing to land. a thing, because the body no longer looked like anything alive in celestria. the largest wounds to be seen ? two gouges to their back.
everything after that happens quickly, protectors swoop in and tape off the area, guests are questioned and then released to their homes, the nobility escorted by their guards and extra protectors.
over the next few days the headlines are anything but calm, the city is shaken after such a sight. eventually it will be released that the victim was bex summerkill, a low level malakim protector that had been on duty for the party. the body suffered so many wounds that dna was the only way to identify their remains, most notably so, their bright blue and grey wings were missing.
maybe a party wasn't the best idea after all.
tl;dr: party ended in a death, and more speculation is circulating over how. this body was a malakim named bex summerkill.
thus ends the first event ! like i've said, you are not required to drop your threads, you just may want to so you can incorporate our first plot drop. either way, it's your choice ! since the event has ended, each player is allowed one free starter so we can refresh that tag + keep things flowing !
for all new members + those who haven't posted in the previous week, please try to post ic within the next 48 hours. if you're unable to, please reach out ! i'm more than happy to work with everyone who comes to me. there won't be an interest check this week bc i think everyone has been pretty vocal about why they've been busy, but when i check activity in 48 hours i will be dm'ing new members who haven't posted at all, and those who haven't posted in the past week. you'll have 24 hours from there to post/ask for a hiatus/extension. i definitely never want to unfollow people here who want to be here but are just busy, but that relies on communication !
as always, please reach out for any questions you might have !
