A- AFTERCARE (what he’s like after sex)

pda was always a thing, especially in public.

he loves to show his love for his girls.

so aftercare was most definitely a part of the relationship.

he’s always so stoic in the public eye but you know him entirely differently.

harry has described to you and meg how when we have kids, he plans to parent his children differently than Charles.

he’s been raised by THE Princess Diana, so of course, he’s going to treat the both of you like the women that you are.

he’s not a big one for the LED’s but he’s still a very prepared person. he always has things to clean you up, now it’s not certain it’ll be all set up but it’s there 😅

he presses kisses up your legs as he gently cleans you.

after he was done he pulled you against his chest and talked to you for literally hours.

your future kids names, how much you both loved meghan, what drama you both thought was going on back at the palace. he always cares for you every time you guys have sex.

and he does 100.9% every time.

harry does it every single time.

B- BODY PART (his favorite body part of his & yours)

harry really does love all of you, but he spends a lot of time kissing, touching and rubbing your stomach though

so it’s safe to say that your stomach is probably his all-time favorite part of your body

your favorite part of his body is most likely his hands

not only do his hands make you feel safe when you’re holding them or when his hands are sat upon your stomach but the absolute ecstasy they can make you feel

when he fingers you it straight up makes your toes curl.

C- CUM (anything to do with cum, basically)

this one’s a sensitive topic for the three of you but

harry loves the way your cum tastes.

he could spend hours between your legs, mouth lapping up all you have to offer him

it’s his favorite place to be, honestly.

you’re kinda shy about your cum, but harry loves it.

funnily enough you love his cum as much as he loves yours.

you love when he cums in your mouth.

and harry is almost more bashful about his cum then you are about yours.

cute boy is a little shy.

D- DIRTY SECRET (a dirty secret of his)

one of harry’s dirty secrets is he absolutely loves when you dominate him and he surrenders all control to you.

maybe he’s just way too polite, maybe it’s just a kink. who knows ?

there’s always something new in his glaze when he secretly leads you to your secret hideout where no servant, no niece nor nephew can find the two of you.

he trusts you, you trust them it just works.

it makes both you and him feel loved, the way you both do things.

more specifically, the things you do- it makes him fall in love with you even more.

E- EXPERIENCE (how experienced is he? does he know what he’s doing?)

harry’s is not as experienced as you assumed he was before you and meghan started dating him.

I mean.. he’s a prince, surely he’s had- has girls flocking at their feet for him.

“how many girls were there before us?”

you couldn’t help but ask him because you knew he certainly wasn’t a virgin when you slept with him the first time

“2.”

you were definitely shocked to say the least

you expected him to say 10 or something.

harry haven’t really slept around before he started dating you and meg.

sex wasn’t really an item on his mind at the time where he had wanted to find love. someone to be happy with.

but now that he’s dating you?

he’s practically addicted to sex

because sex with you and meg is 100 times better than sex with anybody else

so… yeah the Duke of Sussex wasn’t as experienced as some other guys

but it didn’t make you and meghan love him any less.

F- FAVORITE POSITION (this goes without saying tbh)

harry likes to look at you

he’s a very affectionate person

that trait was 100% used in the bedroom

he likes to see your reactions, to see how he’s making you feel.

he loves when your eyes roll back into your head as his tip rams into your g-spot

so his go-to position is face to face so he can look at that face.

he’s always murmuring “my darling girl,” under his breath while he’s fucking you

most of his compliments during sex have to do with how beautiful he thinks you are

“fucking gorgeous sweetheart, you’re absolutely stunning”

“you look so beautiful bouncing on my cock love,”

he likes it when you ride him too

he can relax and watch you do all the work

and you always try so hard to please him

and he gets to freely run his hands down your body

but if you’re in a hurry he’ll always be up for a quick door-sex session.

G- GOOFY (is he more serious in the moment? more humorous? etc)

goofy isn’t a word you would use to describe harry especially during sex.

he’s more on the serious side but he isn’t emotionless during sex, oh no.

he takes sex seriously, it’s not some game to him.

harry takes your pleasure very seriously.

it’s important to him that you cum at least twice every time you guys have sex

that being said, it’s not as though you guys don’t have fun.

you always have fun when you’re being intimate with harry

especially when meghan walks in on the two of you asking for opinions on her baking

you both chuckle and go to cover up but she’s not phased and just tell you both to “chop chop”

H- HAIR (how well groomed is he? does the carpet match the drapes?)

harry’s also been self-conscience about his hair, and how “full and lush” it was before it went to.. well

but.. he’s never shy about his pubic hair harry really doesn’t care what his pubic hair looks like

it’s never been a concern for him

you however usually demand that he trims it when it gets too long

though, you’re never the one to bring up the hair on his head as it’s a sensitive topic on his part.

“you want a blowjob? fix your forest.”

“very well darling, your wish is my command.”

and yes harry does allow you to be bossy

mostly because he loves it

like a lot ;)

I- INTIMACY (how is he during the moment? is he romantic?)

harry is the perfect amount of intimate that people would expect.

he’s always showing a little too much pda for the royal family’s comfort but just enough for you.

most people just assume harry doesn’t truly care about anything or anyone just because he’s a prince. just because he’s raised in a family he never asked to be raised into.

but harry is so deeply in love with the two of you, so he’s way more intimate then even you ever expected a prince like him to be.

no matter what kind of mood he’s in, whether he’s jealous and angry or sad and just needs to feel you he always makes sure you know he loves you

gripping your hand while he thrusts into you

whispering “fucking love you sweetheart” into your ear

there’s always a little intimacy even when he’s pounding into you

harry always wants you to know how much he appreciates that you’re there with him despite all that he’s done to you and more specifically what his family has done to you.

J- JACK OFF (masturbation headcanon)

harry in general is not a very sexually driven guy

it really isn’t all that important to him

so of course he masturbates a decent amount, every guy does

but he doesn’t masturbate every second you’re not there to please him

if you turn down sex harry is completely fine with it, and doesn’t really feel the need to masturbate

he’ll just go ask meghan.

I’m kidding…

maybe.

but if you and meghan both turn down his temptations, he doesn’t push it.

you love that he doesn’t pressure you or meghan to make you feel like you have to have sex with him, it’s probably one of your favorite parts about him.

L- LOCATION (favorite places to do the deed)

somewhere private always

one of your secret hideouts

his office

your joint bedroom

a locked bathroom

never anywhere somebody could see you

because harry is sort of afraid of the violence he’s capable of.

so if any man ever saw you getting fucked

or saw that beautiful fucked out look on your face

harry is worried he would literally beat that guy to death

because he could

he would.

and if someone saw you stuffed full of cock, harry would want to beat them to death

so harry plays it safe and only fucks you in places that have a lockable door

also for women, well meghan can take care or those ;)

M- MOTIVATION (what turns him on?)

everything about you turns harry on

your ass

your tits

your legs

literally everything

but emotion is also a very strong motivator for him

whenever he’s upset about something (usually something having to do with his family) you and meghan also try to cheer him out ;)

harry needs to release that pent up tension somehow

and if he hadn’t met you or meghan, he would release that tension by breaking some poor guards nose.

but he would never hurt you

he breaks way less noses then he used to

Best Baby Crib Reviews

DaVinci Kalani 4-in-1 Convertible Crib

View on Amazon

DaVinci is known for making beautiful baby furniture that can stand the test of time. The Kalani 4-in-1 convertible crib is no exception. Made of sustainably sourced New Zealand pine wood, this crib features gentle curves and your choice of high-quality finishes.

The classic styling makes this the perfect piece of furniture to grow with your child. With the purchase of a conversion kit, you can expand the crib to a toddler bed and then to a full-size bed your child can use through college and beyond.

We just wish it were easier to put together. Assembly is a two-person job—and it can take a couple of hours to complete.

Pros

Affordable

Sustainable

Equipped with toddler rail

Cons

Difficult to assemble

Easy to scuff up

DaVinci Jenny Lind Stationary Crib

View on Amazon

This charming standard crib remains on our list for the second consecutive year. Thanks to its high expert and customer rankings (it has 4.5 stars on Amazon), the Jenny Lind Stationary Crib remains one of the most-recommended cribs on the market.

We like the accessible price point (it’s under $225), adjustable mattress positions, and wheels that transform this crib into a moveable piece of furniture. But there are some concerns about how stable it is for toddlers.

Pros

Vintage design

10 color choices

Conversion kit option

We Don't Like

Cons

Wheels that don’t lock

Reports of safety concerns as babies become more mobile

Babyletto Hudson 3-in-1 Convertible Crib

View on Amazon

Not only is this one of the most stylish convertible cribs we found, but it’s the only one on our list that includes the conversion kit upfront.

That means you don’t have to make an extra purchase when it’s time to take the Babyletto Hudson from crib to toddler bed to daybed. But that inclusion does bump up the price, making this the most expensive convertible crib on our list.

Pros

Attractive and stylish

Easy to assemble

Includes conversion kit

Cons

Susceptible to scratches

More expensive

Delta Children Canton 4-in-1 Convertible Crib

Check Price on Amazon

The Canton convertible crib delivers elegant design and sturdy construction at an attractive price point. Plus, customers report that it’s painless to put together—taking just thirty minutes for most.

The daybed rail and a toddler bed guardrail are included, but you’ll have to buy the full-size bed rails separately. And although this crib meets safety standards, some parents noted that the spaces between the slats are wide enough for tiny limbs to fit through.

Pros

Converts to full-size bed

Includes 3-position mattress

Features non-drop side for safety

Assembles easily

Cons

Has wide gaps between slats, which little legs and arms can fit through

Has visible hardware

Dream On Me Stationary Side Crib

View on Amazon

If your baby spends a lot of time away from home, this folding crib is a smart way to keep baby safe and comfy at nap or bedtime. It’s a full-size crib that folds flat. And there’s no disassembly required.

The Dream On Me Stationary Side Crib also comes with two-position mattress support, a non-drop side, and locking wheels. Our biggest issue is tricky assembly—we recommend calling in someone handy to help with this one.

Pros

Ability to fold flat

Locking wheels

Safe, non-drop side

Cons

Complicated assembly

Hit-and-miss customer service

Bloom Alma Urban Mini Folding Crib

View on Amazon

The Bloom Alma Urban Mini Folding Crib was made for people who are short on space or living in tiny apartments. Its miniscule footprint means you can tuck it into a corner and then fold it up easily when it’s not in use. Lockable casters make it easy to safely roll from room to room.

If you need a reliable, safe, and cute crib that doesn’t take up much room, this is it. But the small size means you’ll be shopping for a new bed by baby’s first birthday.

Pros

Compact for urban spaces

Easy to move

Foldable

Cons

Not for toddlers

Expensive

Best Baby Crib Splurge

As we dove into the world of cribs, we came across some pretty amazing pieces of furniture. It was hard to resist the allure of these lavish cribs, so we decided to give you a glimpse into the land of luxury baby sleepers. Here’s our favorite crib for splurging.

RH Baby & Child Colette Tufted Crib

Visit Site

If you want to create a nursery that even William and Kate’s (or Harry and Meghan’s) brood would envy, then this decadent crib should be your pièce de résistance.

Inspired by a Louis XV antique, the intricate carvings and luxurious upholstered sides simply scream opulence. You can select the fabric (Belgian linen or vintage velvet) for a bespoke crib that’s one of a kind, but make sure you truly love it because there are no cancellations on custom orders.

At more than $1,400, it’s one impulse buy you don’t want to regret. Fortunately, you can buy a separate conversion kit to keep the splendor going through your little royal’s toddler years.

Pros

Customizable design

Heirloom quality

Professional assembly available

Cons

Exorbitant price tag

No cancellation policy

Toddler bed conversion kit sold separately

Things to Consider When Buying a Baby Crib

It’s been nearly a quarter of a century since I had to worry about a place for little ones to rest their heads, and I was wowed by the changes and advances made to cribs over the past couple of decades—they’re a whole lot cooler and so much safer.

Plus, things that we took for granted just twenty years ago (drop-sides, cute baby bumpers) are nonexistent today thanks to improved safety standards. To make sure you keep your precious one as safe as possible, we delved into the questions you need to ask before tucking your baby in.

Should I Buy a New or Used Crib?

As a college student, I was all about saving a few bucks, so I bought a used crib for my first child. At the time, I wasn’t aware of the potential risks of slats with gaps that were too wide, dropping sides that could trap little arms or legs, or even the presence of lead paint. I was focused on finding something cute that I could afford.

When you’re looking at a piece of furniture that your child is definitely going to outgrow, it’s hard to justify investing in a brand-new bassinet or crib. Fortunately, my penny-pinching purchase didn’t result in any harm to my daughter, but looking back I would do things differently.

That’s not to say that it’s never okay to buy a used crib, but you need to make sure it meets current safety standards and hasn’t been damaged in any way.

Some things to look for if you’re thinking about a used crib include the production date of the crib, slats that are no greater than 2 3/8 inches apart, loose posts or knobs, exposed screws and nuts, and any sharp edges or rough wood. You should test the crib to make sure it isn’t wobbly, which could indicate weakened hardware and joints. Peeling paint is another hazard to watch out for.

What Kind of Crib Mattress Should I Get?

Most cribs don’t come with a mattress, so this is an extra purchase you need to make. The safest (and simplest) way to decide on a crib mattress is to find out if the maker of your crib also produces a mattress. This guarantees the right fit, which is crucial to keeping your baby safe while they slumber.

Whether you buy a mattress designed for your crib or one sold by another brand, there are ways to determine a proper fit. Full-size crib mattresses are required to be 27 ¼  inches wide by 51 ⅝ inches long. The mattress needs to be no thicker than 6 inches. You should also manually check the fit once the mattress is inside the crib—if you can fit more than two fingers between the frame and the mattress, it doesn’t fit.

Another thing to check is the materials used in the mattress. You’ll likely buy either an innerspring mattress or a foam mattress—both types are common for cribs and safe to use.

You also want chemical-free mattress construction, including any mattress supports. Watch out for use of MDF (medium-density fiberboard) boards, which contain a low level of formaldehyde. There is a permissible amount of formaldehyde that is considered safe, but if you want your nursery to be 100% nontoxic, this is one area where you should pay close attention.

You may also consider a double-sided mattress—especially if you have a convertible crib. These mattresses are designed to provide maximum safety and comfort as your baby grows from an infant into a toddler. The infant side is firmer to provide safe rest for your bambino. When they get older, you can flip the mattress to the softer side, which is more comfortable for a toddler.

What Are the Benefits of a Convertible Crib?

As noted earlier, it’s hard to invest in a piece of furniture that will become obsolete in as little as two years—even if it is for your darling baby. One way to extend the life of your investment is to purchase a convertible crib.

These cribs, also known as 3-in-1 or 4-in-1 cribs, let you convert your baby’s crib into different sizes of beds that can serve them throughout their childhood and sometimes into adulthood.

The most obvious benefit is the longevity of your initial crib purchase. Instead of having to get rid of outgrown furniture and buy something new, all you need to do is pick up a conversion kit and a bigger mattress. This also makes other purchases, like coordinating dressers and tables, last beyond the nursery and into an eventual teen bedroom.

Another nice thing about convertible cribs is that they’re usually higher quality because they are built to last longer than just a few years.

If you’re looking at going the convertible route, we recommend opting for a 4-in-1 crib that can work from infancy all the way up until your kid is ready for a full-sized bed. This type of convertible crib also has a daybed option between toddler bed and full size, which makes the transition easier for your child during each stage.

What Types of Crib Accessories Are Safe?

It used to be that cribs were full of blankets, cuddly toys, and accessories like bumpers that protected little heads from getting bruised and kept small arms and legs out of crib slats. But it is now recommended that all your baby needs to sleep safely is a mattress with a waterproof cover under a fitted sheet.

Aside from the fact that blankets, bumpers, and stuffed animals add to the aesthetic of your nursery, it can be tempting to disregard current advice when we all know babies that survived those hazards unscathed. But we believe it’s better to be safe than sorry, so we strongly advise following the recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatrics.

That doesn’t mean the crib has to be completely devoid of personality. There are a number of cute, safe crib sheets that can add to your nursery’s charm—just make sure they are made to snugly fit the mattress.

Beware of hand-me-down sheets that may have lost their stretch. In place of blankets, use a swaddle wrap or wearable blanket to keep baby snug all night long. Instead of stuffed animals, try a night light that changes colors, projects stars or animal designs onto the walls, or plays soothing sounds and lullabies.

Crib Safety Dos and Don’ts

Your baby will sleep in their crib from the time they’re born until their second birthday. Here’s what you should do to keep your wee one safe while they’re sleeping in a crib.

1. Don’t use bulky blankets or pillows.

When your baby is little, they won’t have much muscle control. If babies roll over onto thick pillows or blankets, they could suffocate. If you’re worried about your baby getting cold, buy warm pajamas or a blanket sleeper. This way, the warmth will come from their clothing and they won’t get caught up in plush items.

2. Do make sure your crib is certified.

Kids can get caught and seriously injure themselves in poorly built cribs. Over the years, safety standards for cribs have evolved, and dangerous cribs and features have been recalled. If you don’t see CPSC, ASTM, or JPMA certification on a crib, don’t buy it.

3. Don’t be afraid to reuse . . . to a point.

If a crib is ten years old or older, don’t use it. The same goes for broken cribs. Modern cribs have safety features older versions do not, so keep your baby safer by using newer and undamaged cribs.

4. Do adjust the mattress height.

Once your child can stand or sit up, you’ll want to adjust the mattress height in the crib. This will keep your baby from falling over the edge of the crib and getting hurt.

5. Don’t use drop-side cribs.

CPSC standards no longer support cribs with drop sides. While the design allowed parents to reach babies more easily, drop sides have been linked to almost three dozen infant deaths. They’re dangerous and should be avoided.

6. Do follow directions.

Following directions while assembling a crib is crucial. If you miss a step or do something incorrectly, it could hurt your baby.

7. Don’t dangle danger.

Keep your baby’s crib away from dangling objects like curtains or blinds. They present a strangulation risk. If you use a mobile, make sure it’s installed high enough that your baby can’t reach it.

8. Do double check everything.

Once your crib is assembled, give it a thorough once-over. Check for jagged edges, loose materials, and defects. Not all products are perfect, so double-checking can prevent a tragedy.

Pro Tip: Shake it off

When testing out a crib in a store, go ahead and give it a good shake. This will let you know if the frame seems loose, which could indicate missing or weak stabilizer bars under the frame. While you’re at it, check for loose spindles or slats and make sure everything is tight and secure.

Is This Why Meghan Markle Wore Aquazzura the Day she Got Engaged?

After meeting with Edgardo Osorio, founder of Aquazzura, I have a better understanding of what meeting with a prince must be like. The Colombia-born, Florence-based, trilingual Osorio has an old-world aristocratic elegance to him that makes me think he is either a) royalty or b) an undercover spy. Perhaps this is why Meghan Markle wore a pair of Aquazzura nude pumps the day her engagement to Prince Harry was announced?

Congratulations to HRH Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on their engagement! Honoured to have the beautiful Meghan Markle wearing AQUAZZURA nude Pump on their engagement announcement today. #meghanmarkle #royalwedding #london www.aquazzura.com

A post shared by AQUAZZURA by Edgardo Osorio (@aquazzura) on Nov 27, 2017 at 10:23am PST

Osorio is also the proverbial old soul, adept at speaking about colonial-era illustrators one minute, and mingling with guests at an intimate lunch inside the new Colette at Holt Renfrew, Yorkdale, the next. Osorio is the rare designer who doesn’t shy away from meeting his clients and, judging from his glam Instagram feed, (@edgardoprivate) he knows how to have a good time. Luckily, after studying at London College of Fashion and Central Saint Martins, Osorio also had the technical chops to justify starting a luxury shoe line in 2011 when he was only 25. In person, this international man of mystery, so adored by the Kardashian-Jenners and Meghan Markles of the world, easily wins us over while talking capsule collections, wallpaper, and the power of a good high heel.

FASHION: How many languages do you speak?

EDGARDO OSORIO: Three. Just three.

Just three! Have you been to Toronto before?

I haven’t been in a while so I wanted to be back and introduce the new summer collection and also the de Gournay collaboration.

Aquazzura by de Gournay

  Where did that textile come from?

The whole collaboration started because my house got shot for a magazine and the de Gournay family saw it. The entrance of my house has de Gournay wallpaper, which is actually in a colour quite similar to this one, and they’re famous for doing beautiful hand painted wallpaper in either silk or Japanese paper. It’s just one of the most beautiful wallpaper companies in the world. I love wallpaper. It gives personality to a room. So they call me and they say, ‘Why don’t we do something?’ It was very natural. So I designed a wallpaper for them called “Amazonia.” The Amazonia wallpaper is this imaginary jungle. I’m Colombian and we have the Amazon in Colombia. We have monkeys, and butterflies, and parrots, and cockatoos, and you have all these. I mean, if you see the wallpaper, I was looking at illustrations from the 18th century.

Illustrations?

Beautiful books that he would paint flowers and shells.  I’ve always been obsessed with Wunderkammer the Cabinet of Curiosities, and these kind of antique illustrations. I was thinking of all these things when I was designing this wallpaper, which I worked with the de Gournay family to create, and then I thought well I would love to somehow make that into shoes. And so we decided to print on silk crepe because it’s a beautiful material, it’s not satin. Silk crepe is somehow a little more durable.

This actually is silk crepe?

And it’s more durable and it’s more wearable because it’s like you can wear it in the winter, you can wear it in the summer and then we embroidered on the silk threads because it’s not hand painted, unfortunately, because they would get damaged too easily, the shoes, so we had the wallpaper printed on fabric and then had it embroidered on top to give it life and it just looks so fresh. We did a first iteration of it in pink and it sold out in two days.

No!

All over the world.

I know you do a flat in this collection. What do you think of the running shoe craze?

Right now it is a craze, I think there’s a moment for everything. There’s a moment for a sneaker, there’s a moment for a heel, there’s a moment for a flat, there’s a moment for a sandal. It’s part of a modern woman’s wardrobe. I think when they take over your wardrobe, it’s also nice to have some variety, it’s nice to be a little more dressed up sometimes.

You’re a big believer in ‘pretty.’

Yes and as much as I believe in comfort–my focus for the brand is on comfort–there’s so much more variety of options [in shoes] where you can wear a mid-heel, you can wear a flat, a ballerina, there’s so many other shoes that you can wear that are so much more beautiful than maybe wearing a sneaker. I do like sneakers and I have them in my collection. But I also think that it’s all about balance.

There is nothing like seeing a woman wearing a heel. You stand taller, you walk in a different way, your legs look like a million dollars and you can’t compare. Obviously when you’re going to the airport or running around the city that’s not the case. There is a moment to wear a heel because there is nothing quite like it.

Can we just talk about the Sexy Thing bootie. What was it like to make that style and then see it explode?

The whole idea behind this was like wearing a glove on your feet. I call them second skin shoes, they’re not lined, so they really adapt whether you have a wider foot, a thinner foot, it doesn’t matter. They really mold to your skin so they’re the most comfortable thing you can possibly wear. And it just looks beautiful and modern and nice. It’s a beautiful fit and I actually designed the shoe by the pool in Portugal. I was in a vineyard and I was just drawing and drawing. I just wanted something that was all about lines and a very pure line and no embellishment, no nothing, just a beautiful shape. It was a bootie but it had these peep openings to give it…

Exposure?

Hiii I was wondering if you could do a heagan oneshot/imagine on there new Netflix series and how life is going for them

ways to the heart

pairing: prince harry x “reader/oc” x meghan markle

summary: the door cracks open, softly squeaking. "are you watching him sleep again?" when colette turns, meghan is standing at the door, holding two plates. on them are pastries, both of them unfamiliar to colette, which means meghan is experimenting again.

warnings: fluff, only ooc if you know the royalty’s but y’all don’t so haha 😛, probably not what the request asked for but i liked it anyway, LOWERCASE INTENDED

word count: 593.

note: i kinda wrote this lonnnng before this request came in so i’m like 90% sure when i wrote this, lilibet and archie weren’t born yet so let’s just say they’re being babysat 🤗 comments/ requests are open! also, i feel like this is kinda not what you asked for, just give me a couple of days and i’ll come out with another one :))

important: i do not allow my work to be copied, republished, translated, or reproduced. please do not use this story on wattpad or on other platforms. respect the author's work <33

it was on days like these, they often don't get to sleep in and just enjoy each other's company. it was usually, always one of them was off doing dukely or dutchly things.

but with the documentary having just come out, it was harder to do things as simple as this nowadays.

waking up, colette stretches her hands towards the headboard, reveling in the way her muscles tense and liquify under her skin. meghan's side of the bed is empty, but there is a neon pink post-it stuck to the headboard above it, two little hearts scribbled on them.

the sight of it makes colette smile. It's not like she doesn't know where meghan is - she's downstairs, puttering around in the kitchen, baking pastries, batch after batch until the smell of it floats upstairs and wakes harry.

turning to her other side, colette just looks at him for a moment. harry is still asleep, his face peaceful. he is star-fished out on the bed, his limbs sprawled out, partially tangled in the blankets.

reaching across, colette swipes a strand of hair from harry's face. carefully, she lets her fingers drift across harry's skin, tracing the tattoos. the dragon perching on his shoulder, the tail wrapped around harry's biceps. the universe trailing down his spine, planets and suns and meteors scattered in the galaxy of harry's skin. the deer on his thigh, the antlers stretching across his hip. freckles splattered all across.

colette can't help but think of harry as a masterpiece. he is both the artist and the art, his skin a canvas for self-expression. the three of them know what it means to rebuild yourself, to grow beyond what other people have cut out for them. harry's skin is a map of his heart on the outside.

as if he can hear colette think about him, harry stirs softly, his brow crinkling. "time to get up?"

his voice is sleepy, and collete can't help but smile at him. "not yet. go back to sleep.” the only response she gets is a hum, and a husband trying to wriggle deeper into her blankets.

the door cracks open, softly squeaking. "are you watching him sleep again?"

when colette turns, meghan is standing at the door, holding two plates. on them are pastries, both of them unfamiliar to colette, which means meghan is experimenting again.

meghan in the mornings is a sight to behold. her hair is tied back, but some strands fall out, framing her face like she's a renaissance portrait. she carries herself with such a grace that still makes colette's heart flutter, watching meghan be so herself.

colette shrugs cheekily, leaning against the headboard. "he just looks so cute when sleeping."

grinning, meghan presses a kiss to her forehead, the smell of powdered sugar washing over colette. "fair enough."

she hands colette one of the plates, setting the other aside. the pastry is warm in colette's hand, the smell of cinnamon drifting up from it. if harry's heart is tattooed on his skin, meghan's heart is baked into her pastries. meghan loves them both so much. "thank you, meggy."

meghan beams at her, forever cheerful about her pastry creations, and colette simply has to kiss her. unsurprisingly, colette also tastes like powdered sugar and cinnamon.

"now eat your pastry! I need opinions!"
