#hbc theme day

[the-horniest-book-club]

Hello lovely readers and writers of the HBC. As you may have noticed, this blog has been quiet now for quite some time. We want to apologize for the radio silence. We didn't mean for things to slow down here, but life gets busy, and before we knew it, more time had passed than we realized.

The HBC has decided to officially take a bit of a hiatus. Interactions are down, and we've noticed an overall slump in some of our creative muses, as well as within the community itself. It's been a tough few years, we get it!

We wanted to take the time to thank everyone for their participation and support over the years, we have all loved being thirsty hoes together. We don't think this is goodbye, and we're definitely open to starting up again in the future if there is interest in writing for any of our favorite characters again. If anyone has any prompt ideas or suggestions for theme days/events, you're welcome to send them in!

We hope you all take care of yourselves, we'll be seeing you soon, and as always, thank you for playing with us.❤️

Love, The Thirsty Librarians of the HBC 📚

Habitat for Humanity

Taylor Swift has contributed to Habitat for Humanity in a number of ways, including:

* Donating $1 million 
In 2019, Swift donated $1 million to Habitat for Humanity as part of her pledge to help Louisiana recover from flooding. Swift said she was moved to donate after feeling at home in Louisiana while performing on her 1989 World Tour. G

* Volunteering 
Swift and Travis Kelce were spotted volunteering on a Habitat for Humanity construction site in Kansas City.

* Supporting a fundraiser 
A Taylor Swift-themed gingerbread house was featured in a fundraiser for Truman Heritage Habitat for Humanity. 

* Swift is known for her philanthropy, which also includes supporting educational programs, cancer research, and COVID-19 relief. She also donated to 1,400 food banks and community organizations while on tour in the UK.

Habitat For Humanity International is a U.S. non-governmental, and tax-exempt 50, Christian nonprofit organization which seeks to build affordable housing. The international operational headquarters are located in Americus, Georgia

The Habitat Bicycle Challenge (HBC), a nine-week, coast-to-coast bicycle trip undertaken to raise funds for Habitat for Humanity of Greater New Haven and to increase awareness of Habitat for Humanity in general, took place annually from 1995 to 2007. Prior to embarking in June on the 4,000-mile (6,400 km) trek, participants engaged in a seven-month fundraising campaign for Habitat for Humanity of Greater New Haven. Once on the road, they served as roaming advertisements for Habitat and gave nightly presentations explaining Habitat's mission to their hosts, usually church congregations. They also took part in builds with local Habitat chapters along the way. At its height, HBC attracted about 90 participants a year, all aged 18 to 24 and about half coming from Yale University. Each rider traveled one of three routes: New Haven to San Francisco, New Haven to Portland, or New Haven to Seattle. By 2004 HBC had become the single largest yearly fundraiser for any Habitat affiliate in the world, raising about $400,000 a year. However, amid growing safety concerns, Habitat for Humanity of Greater New Haven was forced to announce the cancellation of HBC in September 2007.

Day 1 - Good Weather

Arrive at 7:00am Sunday 5th of May in London. Felt pretty good as well as I manage to adjust my sleep cycle pretty good (Thanks to some shift experience in the past) and was ready for the day. Out of the airport I was excited to be greeted by Thalia. We caught the train into Hammersmith. Then headed out with some of the housemates to walk into Battersea park. Went out for a roast lunch and had my first Yorkshire pudding (still think bread rolls loaded with butter is better). Also the old geezer next door has a pet tortoise which was cool to see. Seems like an ideal low maintenance pet. Apparently though if you want to breed them you have to make sure it's not on the female's territory or she'll just keep fighting the male haha.

So far other observations. Less busier than I thought and not as dirty as I thought as well. Very nice to see that. I thought the parks would be more amazing compared to ones in Australia. Just thought with a bit more time there might have been something else that made it more awe struck. Reminds me a bit of the outer northern suburbs of melbourne where it becomes brick replicated houses. I do prefer the variety but with the space and history they seem to be designed quite well. Also nice having them typically 3 stories or less and having good spacing between the rows. Hardy, simple, practical.

Day 2 - City Slicker

Went out for morning walk. New direction heading west up river. Bit colder today but the 11 degrees felt like a Tas 16 for some reason. Started raining so I hid in a cafe for a while eating pastries. Headed back home to wait out the weather a bit more before heading into the CBD for a look around. Heading toward the shopping district (Regent street). I enjoy people watching and seeing what goods and services are sold and what branding and styles are done so this was enjoyable. One of the malls you could go into hand designer clothes you could go touch that where $1000 plus which felt naughty. Some really shit looking designs mixed in with a handful of things that actually look amazing. Just interesting seeing better versions of Australian shops haha. The next stop was heading out East and head into the Color Factory for a Jam night. That area was a lot more stimulating art and culture. Good old poverty creating creativity. There was a lot more graffiti art and more music venues that were kind to another version of Hobart. The band was awesome and it was set as an open Jam. Great energy that reminded me of Jay's Jam nights back in the day.

Interestingly I thought it was one of the best places to see live music. For some reason I assume the venue would be slick and beefed up a bit. The interias is clean and fresh. But more so like HBC it just has a nice atmosphere and something about being in a warehouse makes it feel fun. Bit more unhinged and brought in a great community. That was really nice to see. Also 32000 steps haha. Looking at a desk job to have a day free to explore, the health benefits have been pretty good. Keen to see what the average will be.

Day 3 - Pro Tourist

I wanted to get a bike today while Thalia had to go into work. Was going to try to pick one up cheap and ride around but with limited tooling for quality I was looking at getting the Lime E Bike hire and brought a 200 min pass. Walked into work with Thalia, which was nice to do again. Before heading off on the Ebike journey. First stop was the British Museum. The history and content in this was pretty significant and there is a cool feeling of knowing that there is 1000s of years of materials that document the evolution of ideas and humans mastering the materials of the world. The building itself is pretty spectacular. Highlights would be the Egyptians and Greeks. Just good ascetics in their art and craft and the idea of gods and immortality themes playing out. Seemed to be the most popular with everyone. The fine China was actually really nice as well. Not the stereotypical white with blue art. These ones were really nice color sets from the Qin Dynasty that would look fresh. Something really satisfying about the colors and gradients used. The other notable interest is just the center courtyard of the museum and how intense it feels seeing it. Then the library and history of the people who collected the material in the museum over the 1000's of years. One other installation which is new was the documentation of every pill taken by a male and female throughout their lives. This was then captured by having an identical pill stitch into some transparent mesh so you could see the pills all laid out. The females were more interested due to birth control than hormonal therapy later in life and you can see the cyclic nature of the pills and also see how it changes over time and ramps up. Looks quite excessive at the end of life. There were 20000+ pills there.

Headed over toward Paul's cathedral to see that. Wow, that was an epic building. So great to have buildings like this around as there is something very satisfying about mega projects like this and the art and design that goes into it. Just looks bigger then it should and the size of the building and the time it was built. Makes it more incredible. Next stop was Tate Modern. I wasn't too keen on this one. One of the big exhibitions had just finished up. But as for most of the other stuff I didn't connect to it too much. I want art to make me think about concepts in a vulnerable or unique way. Or trick my mind in a way that I can't explain or take a while too. There were a couple of pieces that were visually nice to see but nothing amazing for me. After that it was off to Big Ben. Boy he looks good. Nice gold trim and beautiful detailing. Really enjoy the gold detailing. After that it was off to Buckingham Palace (really like the water fountain detailing out front. White marble with golden looking bronze detailing really is pleasing on my eyes.

After the tourist run I began the mission back home. New shop came up that I wanted to check out. Amazon Fresh. This was pretty exciting, the tech in it was so cool and the efficiency of shopping improved vastly again. Plus I've been watching Clarksons Farms and they supplied produce from the Diddly Squat Farm. But all you do is grab the items. Tap at the end then walk out. The shelves have scales then there are cameras tracking your hand movements so it maps everything you have taken. So no Scanning, just tap and walk out. Really satisfying. Went back to Thalia's work and had a beer in the sun while waiting for her to finish.

After all that and 42000 steps it was couch time.

Making A List

A/N: Two in one night! I’m still working with the HBC theme day, Dear Diary, and this one is for @the-th-horniest-book-club​

Summary: You surprise Loki with a gift, which leads to lists

Word Count: 318

You shoved something into Loki’s hands. He looked down at the tiny notebook and frowned. “What’s this?”

You smirked at the god. “I thought you were supposed to be smart?”

“I meant,” he sneered, “what is this for?”

You matched his sneer and crossed your arms over your chest. The action pushed your chest up even more than your bra had. Loki chanced a quick glance down to admire the view. As his gaze raised, he noted your smirk widen realizing he had been caught.

“It’s a requirement for all displaced Avengers; Steve sort of made it a thing.” You uncrossed your arms to put both hands on your hips, shifting your stance slightly.

“Of course Rogers would have… wait, I’m an Avenger?” His tone dripped with sarcasm.

You took your hands off your hips, shifting your stance once more. “One, you are not from around here,” you counted off. “Two, you helped Thor and the rest of us defeat Thanos. Three, your magic seemed awfully handy the last time we were getting our ass kicked, which leads to four, you saved our asses.” Your hands went back to your hips. “Do I need to go on?”

His tongue snaked out, licking his bottom lip thoughtfully. “Possibly.” He magically pulled a pen out of thin air and flipped the notebook open to the first page, his hand rushing over the paper as he wrote.

“What could you possibly be writing now?” you wondered aloud. Loki smirked as he turned the notebook over.

Learn everyone’s names - y/n and Thor count

Talk to the annoying boss about my uniform - no spandex or cod piece!

Find best knives on Midgard

Ask y/n out… or at least find out what’s under her outfit

You busted out laughing at the last point. “Did you think showing me this would score points with me?”

“Yes,” came the unabashed reply.

“You are smart!”

Lost and found

Pairing: Bucky Barnes x Reader (Professor AU)

WC: 357

Summary: You're new and got lost on your way to your 1st class and end up meeting the hottest Professor you ever laid eyes on.

Note: hiiii its been a while I know >∆< I'm gonna do my best to get back on writing again. Anyways this is my short entry to @the-ss-horniest-book-club Character Appreciation Day - Bucky Boo in a Professor au.

I hope you like this. <3

Warning: None

You're lost…and very much late. You hated this. Having to adjust to a new University in the middle of the school year. You tried your best to find your 1st class but you end up entering an empty room.

You sighed definitely as you slid on one of the chairs leaning at the back rest and staring on the ceiling.

What a great way to start your 1st day, you thought. Sighing again.

"Well I wish everyone would have that kind of reaction every time they miss my class." Someone said and that made you sit up straight in shock. You turned to look at the back of the room and there on the back is a sinfully good looking man staring at you with his intense blue eyes.

"I-I...uhm... I'm so sorry Sir for missing your class. I...I got lost." You said embarrassed at being caught by your professor and because you're stuttering.

He walked towards you and you swallowed nervously. You feel trapped by his eyes. You couldn't look away.

"You must be Ms. (YLN)." You nodded. "Welcome to our university then. If you want I can help you find your other class so you won't miss them." He said, offering his left hand to you. You shyly accepted it putting your left hand on his outreached one still looking in his beautiful eyes and you shivered.

Electricity ran around your body from your hands upon touching his skin.

You saw him take a deep breath too as his eyes went down on your hands.

"T-that would be lovely, Sir… I'm really bad at directions…" you said looking down too on your hands. His thumb is now caressing the top of yours.

"It's Barnes, James Barnes. I'm glad I'm here then. I can guide you around." He said bringing your hands near his lips as he guided you to stand up. He kissed the top of your hands, eyes still staring straight through your soul and your mind went blank.

And from then on meeting him every after his and your class didn't end there.

Heart’s Desire

Pairing: Bucky Barnes x Reader (Regency AU)

Words: 1185

Warnings: Romance, courting, masquerade ball, softness and feelings, implied smut, soft and vague smut, kissing, and Bucky just generally being a dream.

A/N: Written for the @the-ss-horniest-book-club for the Regency Theme Day! I’ll be honest, I don’t know much about the era, and I haven’t watched Bridgerton, but I had fun writing this little romantic story anyways. I was inspired by the amazing edit by @nix-akimbo featured in the moodboard, doesn’t Bucky look so gorgeous and regal?

Anyways, thank you for reading, I hope you enjoy!❤ Divider by @firefly-graphics​

You smoothed your hands down your dress nervously, taking a breath before stepping into the room and meandering through the crowd. You exchanged pleasantries with some of the other patrons, tugging your gloves higher, thankful for the mask that covered part of your face. It was a nice way to mingle with many of the town’s socialites, a masquerade ball, and while it wasn’t the fanciest events with much of the pomp and circumstance of the royal families, many of the town’s upper and middle class citizens were able to attend. It was a nice escape from the drudgery of your uneventful, day to day life.

A passing attendant with a tray of champagne helped to calm your nerves, and you willed yourself to relax as the bubbles danced on your tongue. Would he be here? It was a silly question; of course he would. You were, however, starting to feel uncomfortable and a bit out of place, many of the other young women stood in groups with friends, or were paired off with other eligible bachelors for a dance. Just when you were thinking of finding a powder room to hide in, a warm hand settled on the small of your back, and you were swept into a man’s arms. Your heart skipped a beat at the sound of his low voice in your ear.

“May I have this dance?”

A smile spread on your lips as you turned to face him, his other hand taking yours as he pulled you close. 

“James,” you whispered. “You came.”

“Of course my darling, I wouldn’t miss an opportunity to see you.” His blue eyes danced behind his mask, eyes you would recognize anywhere. They seemed to gaze into your soul, as if it was wide open and he could see all your secrets and desires. You smiled, feeling heat creep up to your cheeks, biting your lip, your heart fluttering when he raised your hand to his lips and pressed a gentle kiss against your knuckles. 

James led you around the dance floor, twirling you around and dipping you low. A smirk spread on his lips and you knew he longed to kiss you, before pulling you up again, making you giggle. The masquerade dances were your favorite, everyone wore their very best, masks fancy and beautifully decorated, and for an evening it was nice to sink into anonymity, where social classes and family lineages didn’t mean a thing.

It was easy to forget for an evening that you and James weren’t supposed to be together.

From the moment you’d first seen him, you were smitten. If his gorgeous eyes weren’t enough to win you over, his smile was one of the most beautiful you’d ever seen. He made your heart flutter, made you melt the first time he looked at you. He’d kissed your hand and asked your name, and for a moment you couldn’t even remember. Over time you’d grown close, and knew you couldn’t imagine life without him. Your heart couldn’t bear the thought. And yet, the Barnes family was prestigious, you knew James’s father wanted his sons to marry strategically, and your family didn’t make the cut.

James, however, didn’t seem to care. He’d told you one night, in a hushed whisper, that it was you who held his heart, and he would keep fighting to be with you until his last breath. You cried that night when he had to leave. James held a piece of your heart as well, there were no other men for you. He was the only one.

He held you close for the rest of the night, your hand on his shoulder, head leaning against his chest. For a few moments the rest of the room faded away, and you lost yourself in his warmth, his scent. Lost in him was your favorite place to be. 

At the end of the night you snuck away with him, eventually ending up in his bed once again. Here there were no prying eyes, no judgement, no rules. Here you and James could be together, unabashedly, truly sharing your love and passion. His name fell from your lips as he took you apart, showing you love the way no other man had, the way no other man could. And you gave yourself to him, fully and completely. You were his and he was yours.

As you lay wrapped in his arms afterwards, skin flushed and warm, a delightful bliss spreading through your body, he hummed, stroking your hair and kissing the top of your head. He seemed to curl even more around you and you giggled, reaching up to kiss along his stubbled jaw.

“What is it, my love?” He was quiet for a moment, quieter than usual, as if thoughts clouded his mind. Just as you were about to shift in his arms and pry further, he spoke, a warm hand rubbing over your back.

“Never have I felt a stronger love for someone than I feel for you. You are my sun and my moon, my flowers in the spring and my snowflakes in the winter. I can’t imagine my life without you.” James pulled away slightly, tilting your chin up so he could gaze into your eyes once more. “I can’t wait any longer and have to ask you, will you do me the honor of being my wife?”

For a moment you couldn’t speak, words escaped you as a million thoughts and feelings ran through you at once. Your eyes grew wide and you simply stared at him until everything caught up and you gasped, a wide grin spreading on your face as you squealed.

“James! Yes! Yes, of course!” He grinned back, kissing you hard, a carefree, sloppy kiss, and you wiggled in his arms, squirming even closer and wrapping your arms around his neck. “Oh my gosh. Are you… you really want me to be your wife?”

“Of course,” his voice softened and he trailed his fingers over your cheek and along your jaw, running his thumb over your lips before gently kissing them. “I would love nothing more.”

“But your father -”

“I don’t care what my father says.” His eyes sparkled dangerously, and the smirk on his lips made you giggle. He kissed you again, rolling you over and kissing you deeply before pulling back to gaze down into your eyes again. You reached up to trail your fingers over his cheek now, brushing his hair out of his face and tucking the soft locks behind his ear.

“You know he won’t leave it alone once he finds out. He’ll do everything he can to stop it.”

“Let him try,” James replied softly, leaning into your palm and turning to press his lips against it. “But don’t you worry my love, I won’t let anything happen to you, and I promise you, we’ll have our happily ever after.” Again, he was melting your heart. You smiled, blinking back tears of happiness as you whispered more words of love, and he leaned down to show you again just how much he loved you.

Memories

A/N: The last one of the night! Still working prompts for the HBC theme day, Dear Diary, for @the-ce-horniest-book-club

Summary: You and Chris take a little stroll while scrapbooking

Word Count: 414

You and Chris huddled over your project; you had assigned Chris the task of arranging the photos you had collected over the years while you sat trying to figure out the right words for each page. You heaved a sigh and picked up a picture from its corner to reminisce.

“Are you sure?” you asked with a sigh.

“Yes! Mom, come on, it’ll be fun!” he begged, tugging on your right arm. “I could ask Dad…”

You groaned at your son’s playful teasing. “Fine, fine I’ll ride with you. Just don’t come crying to me when I throw up all over you!”

You shook yourself out of the memory as you handed the photo over to Chris. “He will never let me live this one down.” You chuckled to yourself. Chris glanced at the photo and laughed.

“In fairness, you had warned him!” Chris grabbed his chest as he continued to laugh. Calming himself down, he placed the photo next to another one from another ride, this one with father and son.

He stared at the car sitting in the driveway, then at his dad. “Are you freakin’ kiddin’ me Dad?”

Chris laughed at his son’s reaction as he started to slowly walk around the car. “Well it is a rental so we can’t get too crazy with it.” Chris tossed the keys into the air, which were easily caught. “You ready?”

Chris’s smile fell a bit as the memory faded from view. “I can’t believe…”

You got up from your seat and settled into his lap, wrapping your arms around his neck and burying your head into his chest. “Don’t say it or we’ll both end up in tears again.”

Chris sniffled, hugging you tight. “How did the time go so fast? It seems like yesterday we dropped him off at kindergarten.” 

“I know,” you whispered. “But at least…” The slamming of the backdoor and scampering of feet pulled your attention away from your feelings.

“Ewwwww! Can you guys get a room or something?” Your twelve-year-old daughter made a gagging face as her best friend giggled. “Can Rebecca stay for dinner?”

You disentangled yourself from Chris with a smile. “Of course! It’s pizza night. Is your mom okay with it?” Rebecca nodded and with that, the two girls raced to your daughter’s bedroom. “Maybe Rebecca’s family will let us adopt her?”

Chris smiled as he looked at the two pictures now side by side. “Maybe, but I kinda like the two we have.”

Starbucks

A/N: This one is for HBC 24 hours surprise drabble challenge by @the-th-horniest-book-club​

THEME: Conversations with a stranger.

WORDS: 937

WARNINGS: Anxiety from ordering coffee

PAIRING: Tom Hiddleston x reader (fluff)

DISCLAIMERS: I was in Starbucks once & ordered tea. 🤣 English isn´t my first language.

Gif from here

London was busy city. Always full of people and now your new home. You found surprisingly warm and sunny February Saturday as perfect time for walk. After two hours in streets you were craving something for boosting your energy and Starbucks across the road was exactly what you needed. You never had chance to go there, but heard about it from your friends, so why not try it? Easy in, easy out.

What you were not expecting was long queue and a lot of people already inside. Smell of fresh coffee and muffins hit your nose and you enjoy it until anxiety came. What to order? How to order? Do you have to say your name? You were standing there, playing with your shawl to calm down, when stranger in front of you turned around. „Excuse me, do you know what time is it? My phone died.” he asked with strong English accent. When you looked up you were face to chest with him. „Uhm, 10 am.” „Thank you.” He turned back and moved forward.

Few more orders and small panic attack later you found him holding your arm. „Hey, are you all right?” This time when you lifted your head your eyes met cerulean blue ones. And then you recognized his face. You were standing with Tom Hiddleston! And he was holding you. You opened your mouth but no sound came out. You looked at menu on the wall and back at him. „You need help with order?” he smiled. „Yeah. I never been in Starbucks before and have no idea what to order. What is good? Should I tell them my name?” ​You were rambling mess. „Don't worry. I can help you. I´m Tom.” „Y/N.” You said. „What would you like? Coffee, tea, smoothie, chocolate? Something to eat?” „Coffee. But they have so much possibilities. How am I supposed to choose only one,” You sighted. Tom let go of you with thoughtful expression and his thumb and index finger were caressing his chin. You followed their movements with your eyes and small part of your brain was thinking how they would feel against your skin. „I´d say you can appreciate something sweet like you.” Tom said and your cheeks got hot and he smirked. „Ok, I´ll risk it.” You smile a little. „Trust me.” „Do you always pay for stranger´s coffee?” He grinned. „Only if it´s beautiful woman with interesting accent.” „You're a charmer.” „Yes, Yes I am. Tell me, how´s that you never try Starbucks?” „I'm not really a coffee drinker. Only when I´m in mood.” „More of tea person?” „Meh. Water is the best.” „What´s so special about today that it deserve a coffee?” „I'm just tired a bit and need something to function properly.” He chuckled and you moved forward. Two more people and you are in front of young man.

„Hello Jamie.” „Hi Tom. What can I get you this time?” „Hot, venti,, two shots, Caramel macchiato and hot, venti White chocolate mocha.” „With rice milk, please.” You said and looked back to floor. „Extra foam on both, please.” „Sure thing. Here or to go?” Tom looked at you and back at Jamie. „To go.” „Excellent. That will be 6,85 £.” Tom took out his wallet and paid before  you could stop him. „Have a nice day you two.” Jamie smiled at them and you followed Tom as lost puppy.

„So, what's your plan today?” „I don’t really know. Hyde park or some museum maybe. Why?” „Mind if I join you?” You were thinking about it. How often do people have chance to meet their favourite actor and he pays for their coffee? You decided you will take that opportunity with all it has. „Nope.” You smiled at him. „Maybe we can try Natural history museum. If you want to go. It´s close” „Sure.” He walked to black Jaguar. „I'm not going in car with stranger.” He looked at you. „I'm not a stranger any more. Or am I?” „We only know each other´s names.” „Lets us make friends then.” You started walking in direction of museum.

„You really don’t know who I am?” „I know you are an actor, my favourite actually, but I don’t know you in person.” You were surprised with how much ease you were talking to him. „What would you like to know?” „Everything.” You both laughed at yours eagerness. „We can play 20 questions.” „I will start. What brings you to London?” „Work with better payment.” „And you work as … ?” „Interior decorator.” „You can draw me new house if I ask?” „No.” You snorted. „That's interior designer. I´m making places nice and colourful.” „Oh, my mistake.” „Its ok. People often confuse those two jobs. What would you be if not an actor?” „Cowboy.” he laughed and then asked one more question right before you walked in the museum.

After long six hours you were parting our ways. „Can I take you on proper date next time?” he asked suddenly. „You don’t have to say yes. I just had great time with you and … .” „Sure.” you interrupted him. „Really? Oh god, thank you! Can I have your number?” He gave you his phone and you added yourself there and handed it back. „I´ll walk you to your station.” „You don’t have to.” „I insist.” „Fine.” He linked your arms and smiled at you happily.

After 20 minutes walk in peaceful silence you stopped in front of the door to the underground. He hugged you lightly and you quickly kissed his cheek and with cheeky grin ran down the stairs for your tube.
