pop stars aren't born in the 70s anymore like they used to be. These days they're born in a year uncomfortably close to my own which makes me clutch my chest and cry out
#music#musicians#Nia Archives was on radio the other day going 'my album's the first jungle album to be nominated for the Mercury Prize in over 25 years#that's such an honour! The last one was Roni Size and I wasn't even born then' --hang on a minute#that album was like. 1997. 'I wasn't even born yet'?#Folks she is a year older than me 😭(❤️ but also personally 😒)#Cat Burns' Mercury shortlisted album is called 'early twenties'. It is a term I am told I can no longer use for myself.#She says 'the album was a 4-year long process. I started writing it when I was 20.' Cat Burns is my age.#CMAT. Dublin's 'global superstar'. 1997. Literally she's such a classic popstar/country star I'd have expected to read like '1987' or somet#not in terms of saying she's old or anything; just that that seems appropriate for someone who's in control of their career#CMAT is like 2 years older than I am. It's so wild to me#especially this time! There have been a lot of debut albums you see#and I'm really proud of all these--I suppose at my age I'm allowed to say--kids; my peers? But it's also so strange to see#My peers are at the Mercuries. Declan McKenna is like a year older than me#That has been in my head ever since Brazil came out. He was 15. I was 14.#sigh it's a long road to either acceptance or such radical change that I 'catch up' with everyone; whatever that means#yes I'm well aware that comparison isn't a thing to do. I know it's not productive.#I try not to let it get me anxious; afterall what do I do about it?#It's not like I've got the ball rolling on anything significant to speak of. I'm just at ordinary work#idk also the industry I work in doesn't exist anymore hahahaaaa so yeah. No career. Only far away admirations! :)#We will have no infrastructure and we will be happy.#Don't read all this; just laugh at the meme about age and move on#growing up

A Stolen Moment
Pairing: Marcus Acacius x female reader
Word Count: 1.6K
Summary: The General has been busy as of late and you miss him.
Author's Note: I can't exist without being horny over this man...they post a new picture of him sitting down and I'm like OH WELL- now I need to sit in his lap, kneel between his legs and do all these other filthy things because his legs and hands and thighs exist. UGH. I mean how am I supposed to survive this, he can't even sit in a chair without me losing my mind...guess I have to write out the horny. LOL anyway, thanks for listening to my rants and thanks so much for reading, much love always! ❤️❤️❤️Divider by the lovely @firefly-graphics thank you sweet Daisy! 🥰
Warnigns: soft sweetness, tension, teasing, semi-public sex (I mean it is the Colosseum), Marcus is perfection.
Marcus Acacius Masterlist
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The rare quiet of the arena is almost unsettling, the usual raucous crowd nonexistent and the commanding power it exudes masked under the veil of darkness that slowly settles with the descending sun.
The imperial box is empty and the gilded seat on which you sit grows cold as you wait. The fabric you wear is different from anything you’ve ever worn before and perhaps different from anything that’s been created yet.
Due to tradition, you’ve been trained in the art of sewing and because of this you were able to make the silk garment that’s currently draped seductively over your body. You know your husband will approve, however, how he will react to you wearing it in such a public place, is an entirely different story.
The silk is layered, giving the illusion of coverage, but even in the dimness of the setting sun, you can see the outline of what teases beneath.
Heavy footsteps echo behind you, and you recognize the steady pace of his feet.
He walks slowly up the steps, dressed in his more formal toga, outlined in gold that glints as it catches the dying light.
His eyes find you and he stops.
“My gods wife.”
A heated smile starts at the corner of his mouth and lazily stretches across the other as he peruses you from head to toe.
“I’m not forgetting some celebration today am I?”
You shake your head and stand, walking over to him.
“No, nothing to celebrate today. Just you.”
He stills, his eyes lowering to sweep down your body. “Me?”
“Yes,” you say. “You’ve been too stressed lately. I want to help.”
“I see,” he says with sparkling eyes. “And you thought displaying yourself…so… temptingly… in one of the most coveted seats of the Colosseum was going to help?”
You run your hands up his chest to the buckle near his left shoulder. Loosening it, you continue, “I know how to best help you relax General and I knew this would get your attention.”
“You always have my full attention,” he whispers.
You smile, knowing the truth his words hold.
He looks you over again then reaches up to drag the calloused pad of his thumb over your bottom lip.
Normally you might kiss it. Tonight, you bite down. He pulls back with a little gasp.
“You’re irresistible.”         
His hands slide forward and frame your hips, and he pulls you into his chest, running his nose along your neck with an inhale.
“What do you plan to do with me?” he whispers into your skin.
You push his hands away and slide off his cloak.
“I’m glad you asked.”
Your fingers fall to his belt, and you start to loosen it, remaining silent.
“Well?” he asks with an amused smile.
“Whatever I want,” you say simply, your hands deftly pulling the belt from his waist.
“I suppose I’m at your mercy then.”
With a tilt of your head, you step back. “Take off your tunic.”
He holds your gaze, testing your restraint, before he relents and gives you what you want.
Slowly, he pulls the fabric off, and you struggle to keep your attention on his face, knowing that every inch of the skin he’s revealing will distract you.
When he begins to loosen the fabric at his hips you’re unable to resist reaching forward and running your hands lightly down his chest. His breath hitches and you love it, skin tightening beneath your fingertips.
He toys with the material again, and you can tell he’s teasing you, waiting for you to meet his eyes.
“Keep going,” you tell him.
The undergarment falls to his feet and it’s all you can do to not slide down to your knees and take him into your mouth.
But somehow, you manage to resist, even as he reaches down, circles his large hand around his cock and holds it out as an offering.
When he starts to remove the first of his wrist cuffs, you still his hand. He raises a questioning brow, and you demurely smile.
“Leave those.”
You push lightly on his chest, toward the ornate chair he found you in. “Sit.”
He does as you say, and you follow him, straddling his thick thighs.
“I miss my husband,” you say with a pout. “You’ve been busy, and your attention has been elsewhere lately.”
You see his expression soften at your words before the corners of his mouth turn down.
“You know you’re all that matters…”
You press a finger to his lips to silence him.
“I’m not blaming you General. I’m just taking matters into my own hands…taking what I want.”  
You rest your ass on his thighs and then slide forward, giving his cock the briefest bit of friction against you before you move away again.
Beneath your palms, his shoulders bunch and he lifts his hands to touch you.
“Don’t,” you warn. “Or I’ll bind you.”
“Does it make you wet to take control like this my beloved?” he whispers.
You answer with the slide of your hand between your legs, the slip of your fingers under the silk. Your eyes close and you moan quietly as you touch yourself, rolling your hips.
You can hear his breath hitch and feel the muscles of his thighs flex and strain. Pulling your fingers away, you capture his chin with your free hand and paint a wet line along his upper lip.
He groans, pained and gravelly and you look down to see his cock hard and arching up toward his belly button.
Your mouth waters. “Marcus.”
He hums but doesn’t move and you look up to see him lick his lips, tasting you on his skin. Staring intently at you, he pushes his hips up, his cock a heavy presence between you as you gaze at his face.
“Are you feeling more relaxed?” you ask him as you lean forward and kiss his jaw.
“Tortured, might be a better word my love.”
You can see it in the way his pulse flutters in his throat and you press a steady hand to his chest.
He relaxes in pieces: his legs beneath you first, then his abdomen, shoulders and finally his expression.
“That’s better,” you murmur.
With a deep exhale he lifts his hands, the gesture tentative as he slowly reaches for your shoulder and traces the soft curve with his fingertips.
“I think it’s time I take what I want,” you remind him.
You lean forward and kiss along his neck all the way up to his ear and he huffs out an impatient breath. Every muscle grows tight and urgent beneath your roaming hands as you tease him once more.
Faster than you expect, he grabs you by the hips and jerks you forward, sliding the wetness between your legs over his cock and griding up into you with a groan.
Without thinking, you move with him, rocking on top and feeling the hard press of him against your clit.
“I can feel your need for me soaked through the silk,” he hisses.
You tug the silk fabric from your body and let it drape over the large and elaborate seat. In a blur, he pulls you closer and pushes inside you with a steady, hard thrust.
“I’m sorry,” he begins, then stops, his breath choppy so close to your ear as he kisses your neck and sucks gently. “I can’t control myself.”
You open your mouth to speak but all the comes out is a moan when his large hand cups your breast, thumb passing back and forth over the peak.
His tongue slides over your collarbone, his breath, his fingertips across your skin and he begins to move inside you.
“You tease and taunt me wife…it’s impossible for me to let you play out this fantasy of control.”
A curl falls over his forehead and he looks almost boyish, but his words are coarse, and his movements are powerful.
“Next time I will bind you then,” you say, the words breathless.
He growls out your name, digging his fingers into your skin with his barely controlled restraint.
You feel the rush of blood to your legs and the heavy ache between your thighs build and he grows more and more frantic. He uses your hips for leverage, his grip bruising as he slams up and into you over and over.
One large, rough hand ghosts along your stomach and teases the base of your neck before his fingers close around your throat.
This new sensation brings you to the edge until you’re begging for it. His groan vibrates along your skin, his whispered words of love pushing you over until you tighten around his cock and cry out his name.
Your face falls to the crook of his neck, and he wraps his arms around you, cradling you to his chest. Your heavy breathing is in sync, your sweaty skin pressed close while he gently runs his fingers along the curve of your spine.
“I am sorry,” he whispers into your skin. “I know there has been much that keeps me away from you as of late.”
You lift your face and place your palm against his cheek. Your fingertips trace the lines around his eyes before you dip your head and softly kiss his cheek, then the corner of his mouth, and finally his lips.
“I know Marcus. I know.”
He reaches his hands between your arms and frames your face, holding your gaze intently with the soft brush of his fingers.
“My love for you remains and always will be as infinite as the stars.”

lewis hamilton x angolan!reader (actress)
Tumblr media
in which no one believes that lewis hamilton is dating y/n y/l/n after he hard launches their relationship.
warnings: fluff, relationships, kissing, dancing close together, some spelling mistakes, my spelling in portuguese is horrendous so let me know if there’s any mistakes (I didn’t use google translate cause it’s the brazilian version), lemme know if I missed anything else.
an: I put my favourite love song in this, I didn’t even mean to but I think it matches perfectly with the vibe of the plot. hope my angolan girlies enjoy and if there’s anything I need to change, let me know 🤍

“WHY DOES NO ONE BELIEVE YOU?” she asks confused as she looks over the comments on lewis’ recent post. she hadn’t seen it until now and only now had the chance to like it.
“I wouldn’t believe me either love, you are way to beautiful.” he says casually as he settles down next to her, placing his arm around her waist, pulling her closer.
“that’s stupid.” she says softly, her accent coming out slightly when saying the word ‘stupid’, making lewis smile at her lovingly. “I’ll make a post.” she states firmly, already going to make a post on instagram.
“not right now.” he says calmly, softly laughing as he takes her phone out her hands and sets it down on the coffee table. “right now we are having date night and we aren’t going let anything distract us, so do it in the morning.” he tells her with a smile as he grabs the remote and popcorn and settles it on his lap as she leans her head against his shoulder.
“fine, but in the morning, I am making a post because people thinking you couldn’t have a chance dating me is ridiculous.” she says, her tone still a little irritated from reading the comments.
he chuckles slightly as he lifts her chin to look up at him and kisses her softly, “thank you for being so protective love, but I don’t need it.” he leans his forehead against hers.
“doesn’t matter, I’ll do it anyway.” her frown changing to a smile at the tenderness of the moment. “I love you.” she whispers to him, almost like she hasn’t told hundreds of times.
“I love you too gorgeous.” he whispers back.
“does that mean you’ll finally let me teach you to dance kizomba?” she says hopeful, looking at him with pleading eyes.
he throws his head back in laughter, “you don’t give do you?” he says smiling as he looks back down at her. “fine, I give up, I’ll let you teach me.” he agrees, her smile only growing wider as she stands up quickly and she runs to get her speaker making him groan. “baby, not now.” he says, letting his head fall back on the coach.
“yes now, because then you’ll back out of it. now up you get.” she says setting the speaker up and looking though her song collection on spotify as she picks a song. “we’ll start off easy, a nice slow kizomba.” she smiles as the song ‘loucos’ by matias damásio and héber marques starts playing.
she slowly teaches him the steps. she leads the dance and makes sure he has his hands and feet in the right position.
after a few minutes of trying again and again, he manages to get the steps right and they are moving around the living room to the song as they look at each other without speaking.
he spins her around making her giggle softly which places a wide grin on his face as they go back to the close proximity they were once in and continue moving to the beat of the music.
“you’re getting good.” she whispered to him and she places her forehead against his.
“got a good teacher.” he smiles.
“eu estou tão apaixonada por te, eu acho que tu nem entendes.” she whispers to him in portuguese, making his grin grow wider as he looks at her. (I am so in love with you, I don’t think you understand.)
he hums softly, “I am not exactly sure what you said, but I am pretty sure my response is, I love you too.” he whispers back as he kisses her cheek making her blush.
“és o amor da minha vida.” she tells him with complete certainty. (you are the love of my life.)
“ah, now that I do know and my love, you are also the love of my life. more then you can imagine.” he speaks with the same tone she did whilst looking at her like she hung the moon and the stars.

Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen x reader
summary: Feyd realises how much he misses his wife despite seeing her everyday || warnings: grovelling?, guilt, violence, anger || word count: || masterlist
read the precursor to this: voiceless
REQUEST: would you be able to write a part two to voiceless, where feyd becomes more interested in spending time and being seen with his wife, even around others while she grows more content without him (maybe finding other people/friends for company). kinda like a “falling in love too late” kinda thing? thanks sm ❤️
Tumblr media
You had withdrawn from your husband, done the bare minimum that was expected of you. It was what was expected of you, and the members of Harkonnen High Society were glad to see you taking your proper place. It seemed the only person not enjoying your new role was you. Even your husband was far more contented by having his days without bother and to not be questioned everytime he did anything.
But as time wore on, it started as the little things Feyd noticed he now lacked: the small glances you shared with him across the table, a squeeze of his hand before he stood, a gentle kiss to greet him. Now he ate alone, with you eating in your own chambers. You greeted him in the morning with a cold nod, no words exchanged.
He wondered what you did with your days, supposing you now lived a very lonely existence. He supposed that was the life of all noble woman, for that was the tradition of Geidi Prime and House Harkonnen, their women were nothing more than grabs for power and means to an heir.
But the more he thought, the more he doubted his family’s tradition. His familial tradition was to murder one another, why should he follow a tradition that would have his son murder you once he came of age. Perhaps tradition needed changing, perhaps he would pay you a visit, invite you to join his some days. Then again, maybe that was guilt. And Feyd-Rautha didn’t feel guilt, for anything or anyone.
“Wife!” His voice echoed as he walked into your shared chambers one evening. You were sat reading a book and glanced up as he entered.
“Yes husband?” You replied to him, placing your book down and moving to stand.
“I want to accompany me tomorrow.”
His words sent a wave of confusion through you. There were no noble visits scheduled in the coming days, nothing that would require you by his side. “Accompany you? May I ask where?”
“To my duties.” Feyd said it like it was obvious. “I have been neglecting my duty to you. Is it an offence for a husband to require his wife’s company?”
The words were said without true care behind the words and you felt your stomach twist as you reached for your book once more. “I regret to inform you that I have engagements tomorrow that I must attend to.”
“Cancel them.”
You look up at his incredulously. “Excuse me? I cannot simply cancel my plans on a moments notice because of your whim.”
Feyd bit back his anger at your rejection, ignoring the sting of pain that sat at his heart. “Very well. When do your engagements cease?”
“I am a busy woman, I barely spend a day alone nowadays. Forgive me for not keeping my schedule free and spend my time wallowing in loneliness. I can free up the day after tomorrow. Is that satisfactory for you Na-Baron?”
His wife’s coolness towards him made him doubt his intentions in the first place. Finally, he nodded solemnly, turned on his heel and exited the chamber.
Unknown to Feyd, his wife had been finding her entertainment and pleasure in other ways, finding any way to spend a day with others. It had began with her handmaiden, just a few hours helped a friendship blossom that then extended to her friends within the servants. They had created a bond that could not be broken, a space where they were not servants and she was not Na-Baroness.
Many of the servants were slaves from off-world, much how she was a slave to her husband and had been ripped from her own home and her own family to join his. There was a solace in their space she knew Feyd would not understand.
True to her word, she joined Feyd days later, sat in her seat at the breakfast table, and followed three steps behind as she did in the beginning. But there was no longing threaded into every move she made. She did not long for his love anymore, there was not a begging for attention and affection. You didn’t go out of your way to squeeze his hand or press a kiss to his cheek.
Feyd had been expecting your affection. And yet you showed him none. He was your husband but he would not be your lover.
He wished he could be, an affection from you only to him. He wanted the devotion of his wife the same way he wanted air to breathe but you would not be his air. You had found a contented life on Geidi Prime that did not involve bending to your husbands will and crawling at his feet for his love. You would perform your marital duty and spend your days in your chambers or in hidden rooms with your friends where your duty would escape you and your title would be worth nothing.

Series Masterlist
Tumblr media
Fine, maybe Bucky did have a point.
You were two seconds away from jumping his bones and to annoy you even more, he was so busy with work that you could barely see him.
But thankfully, you had a solution for that.
“Take these home please,” you told your driver as you stepped out of the car, motioning at the multiple bags of lingerie sets on the backseat. “Thank you.”
“Of course ma’am,” he said and you closed the door, then made your way to the building. You took the elevator, then approached Bucky’s office and smiled at his assistant.
“Is he inside?”
“Yes Mrs. Barnes,” she said. “With his father.”
You raised your brows, then heaved a sigh and knocked on the door before opening it. George looked over his shoulder from where he was sitting on the couch and a smile pulled at Bucky’s lips as soon as his gaze fell on you.
“Hey there, am I interrupting anything?”
“Not at all, come in!” Bucky said as he walked to you and pressed a kiss on top of your head, making your heart skip a beat. George smiled at you and stood up as well as you approached him.
“Hi honey.”
“George,” you greeted him back and let him kiss your cheek, then sat down next to him on the couch.
“I was thinking we could have lunch?” you asked and he made a face.
“I gotta meet Nat in half an hour sweetheart. Sorry.”
“About the raid issue?”
George raised his brows, looking between you as if he was surprised that you knew about it, but neither you nor Bucky commented on it.
“Well she also lost half a million,” Bucky said. “Needless to say, she’s furious.”
“Everyone is,” George said. “That cousin of yours is an idiot, Y/N. I mean there’s a difference between being new and being an amateur.”
“Stark called for an emergency meeting,” Bucky said with a smirk. “So did Clint, and I’m guessing so will Nat.”
You tried to keep your expression serene and heaved a sigh. “They will eat him alive.”
“Business talk can wait,” George told you. “How is your day going sweetheart?”
Not retorting to the condescending tone he thought he could hide was rather challenging, but you managed to control yourself. There was a time for everything, and you had to make sure not to look not as interested in just how Ian had screwed up, at least in front of George. You exchanged glances with Bucky who rolled his eyes, then turned to George.
“It’s going good,” you said. “I had coffee with Becca, then went shopping.”
“Oh what did you buy?”
All the lingerie sets you bought flashed in your mind and you bit back a smile as you stole a look at Bucky, then shrugged your shoulders.
“Jewelry,” you said, holding up your wrist to show your bracelet. “And yours, George?”
“Enjoying the retirement,” he said. “Something your father can’t do anytime soon, as it seems.”
You scoffed a small laugh. “He likes the job too much.”
“That’s not the only reason,” he muttered and you shot a look at Bucky who smirked.
“Yeah well, bad choice in heirs.”
“Has he talked to you?” George asked and you pulled your brows together, feigning confusion.
“About?”
“About what he’s going to do now that Ian screwed up in front of people that badly?”
“He doesn’t talk to me about the job,” you said. “But I’d say he made his choice. Now he just needs to train Ian.”
“That training was supposed to have started decades ago.”
You hummed. “And yet here we are.”
“If I remember right, your prenup said your second child would have claim on the territory, no?” George asked with a laugh. “Maybe you two should hurry up, Arthur does desperately need an heir it seems.”
The joke made your jaw clench. Of course he didn’t even consider you just like your father didn’t, but he was more than ready to accept your hypothetical child as the heir.
Anyone but you, apparently.
“Father…” Bucky muttered and George held up his hands.
“Just saying.”
“And that’s my cue,” you said, pushing yourself off the couch and George chuckled.
“Y/N, I was joking.”
“Oh I know, I just think it’s a good idea to see if my dad is alright now that you mentioned him,” you said, shooting him a fake smile before walking to Bucky to peck him on the cheek. “See you at home?”
“Absolutely,” he said and you walked out of the office, anger still poisoning your system.
                                       *
Your father’s assistant told you that he was home today, so you went straight there without dropping by the company. As usual, the foyer and the rest of the house were full of your father’s or Ian’s bodyguards and his assistant was by the study door. You waved at her but before you could approach her, you heard your aunt’s voice echoing in the foyer.
“Y/N, hello!”
You tried not to grimace, then turned to smile at her.
“Auntie.”
She came closer to kiss your cheek. “Arthur is taking a call, let’s catch up in the meantime.”
“I’m actually in a hurry, I just wanted to check whether he’s alright—”
“He is,” your aunt assured you as she gently steered you to the living room. “Albeit a bit tense but you know, it happens.”
“Does it though?” you muttered as you sat down on the couch. She waved a dismissive hand in the air.
“I’m sure you’ve heard about Ian’s tiny little mistake?”
“I haven’t,” you said. “I have heard about the million dollar mistake though.”
She pressed her lips together.
“He is under tremendous amount of pressure,” she told you solemnly. “Running around everywhere.”
You tried not to roll your eyes. “Is that right?”
“And I told your father the same thing, I think he’s being too harsh with him lately.”
“Well, a lot of bosses want his head on a spike,” you pointed out. “I’d say he is being quite nice to him, actually.”
Your aunt shot you a glare but you only smiled, making her heave a sigh and clasp her hands in her lap.
“Arthur says people are pushing for a sit down,” she said. “And that Ian must be there for some reason. I don’t know why he insists on it—”
“Because if he didn’t attend it’d make him look even worse,” you said. “No one would take him seriously after that.”
“He’s not the boss!”
“He’s the heir,” you forced yourself to say. “Bosses can take heirs with them to the meetings. Father has a point, he can’t coddle him especially in a situation like this.”
“Everyone makes mistakes,” she insisted. “I’m sure Bucky has made them too.”
“He hasn’t,” you said, aware of the proud tone in your voice. “He was raised for this shit, so he actually pays attention. Unlike Ian.”
She clicked her tongue.
“Well you must talk to him,” she said and you pulled your brows together.
“To Bucky? Why?”
“Ian needs someone in that room that will have his back.”
You tried to stop the laughter threatening to spill from your lips.
“And you think Bucky will do it?”
“He will if you ask him to.”
“Why on earth would I ask him to?” you asked with a scoff and she threw her hands up.
“Because we’re family!” she said. “Ian would do the same for you.”
“Ian would throw me to the wolves if the roles were reversed,” you pointed out with a chuckle. “You know it as well as I do. They’d eat me alive during that meeting and he wouldn’t lift a finger, he’d encourage it.”
“You’re being very unfair to him, Y/N.”
“Maybe you just forgot what your son’s personality is like because you barely spend any time with him,” you said calmly and she narrowed her eyes.
“Careful.”
You dragged the tip of your tongue and held up your hands, gesturing surrender.
“Bucky wouldn’t help Ian even if I asked him to,” you said. “He doesn’t take him seriously.”
“And why is that?”
You shrugged your shoulders. “I’m gonna go on a limb and assume it’s because Ian makes mistakes that cost my father and the other bosses millions of dollars.”
“What’s a couple of millions in this business?” she asked with a small laugh. “Nothing.”
You heaved a sigh. “It gives a message, auntie.”
She crossed her legs, sticking her nose in the air.
“Either way, talk to Bucky,” she said. “Everyone says he listens to what you say, so it might be a good idea to put in some good word for Ian before that meeting.”
You arched a brow, but before you could comment on it, your father’s assistant entered the room.
“Y/N, he says he can see you now.”
“Oh thank you,” you said and got up from the couch. “Auntie. Always a pleasure.”
She just shot you a smile and you shook your head slightly, then followed your father’s assistant to his study.
                                           *
When you got back home, Bucky still wasn’t back so you had enough time to put your plan into action. The set you had chosen for tonight was black; the lacy corset matching the garter belts holding your stockings. You were just done with fixing your hair when you heard Bucky opening the front door, so you threw yourself on the bed and grabbed the book on your nightstand to open it.
“Charm?”
“Upstairs!” you called out, turning on your stomach and swinging your legs back and forth lazily, trying to bite back your smirk as Bucky walked into the room, reading something on his phone.
“I have so much to tell you about the meeting today,” he said without taking his eyes off of the screen and went to place his gun on the small coffee table and you hummed.
“What?”
“Nat is furious, and she and Clint actually—” he stopped talking as soon as he raised his eyes from the phone and you looked over your shoulder to see him frozen in his spot.
“She and Clint?” you asked him as if there was nothing out of the ordinary and he blinked a couple of times in complete silence, staring at you.
“Bucky?” you said and he swallowed thickly.
“What the fuck—am I dreaming?”
“Why would you be dreaming?” you asked and rolled over to lean back on your palms, crossing your legs. “We should talk by the way.”
“Oh we’re not talking,” he said, pulling you by the ankle to the edge of the bed and you let out a squeal that turned into a giggle before you pushed at him and got up from the bed. He let out a groan.
“Charm…”
“What?”
“Is this a new way for you to torture me?”
“No, I just think we should talk.”
“I can’t contribute anything to the conversation because I don’t have any blood in my brain right now, it’s all rushing south.”
You rolled your eyes at him and leaned on your hip. “Can you focus?”
“No.”
“Bucky!”
“You’re in a corset and garter belts and you want me to focus?” he asked, taking a step towards you but you took a step back, smirking.
“Calm down.”
“Come here.”
“No because we need to talk first.”
“If this is about who breaks first,” he said. “I broke first, you won, now come here.”
“I’m glad you agree but that’s not it,” you said. “About the sit down, is there a date yet?”
“A lot of people would start with dirty talk—”
“Business talk is my dirty talk,” you stated. “So?”
“Next week,” he said, pulling at one of the ribbons on the corset and you swatted his hand away.
“Ian is going to be there so—”
“Take it off.”
“Good lingerie is wasted on men I swear to God…” you muttered, trying to ignore the way your stomach did a happy flip. “So if Ian is there, I need to be there.”
“Done.”
“The only way—” you batted his hand away again. “The only way for me to be there is if others believe I’m your heir in case of an emergency, because—”
“Done.”
You let out a laugh. “That easily?”
“Sweetheart you could ask me for all my possessions including the company right now and the answer would still be yes,” he said, making you let out a laugh as he wrapped his vibrainum arm around you and easily lifted you up. He carried you to the bed to drop you there and got rid of his shirt, letting you see his muscular before he got on top of you, his lips finding yours. Your eyes fluttered close and a happy sigh left your lips when he pulled back to look down at you.
“You’re gorgeous, you know that?”
You could feel the fire warming your cheeks and a giggle escaped from you before you pushed at him slightly so that you could straddle him. He quickly pulled at the ribbons holding the corset together and you tilted your head.
“So I win?” you asked again and he nodded, grinning.
“You win babe.”
You smirked, then let him pull the corset off of you to throw it somewhere in the room and leaned down to kiss him again.

NEWS!
A month has passed and we’re all asking the same question, What happened between Leclerc and Y/L/N? Since the singer and songwriter has released her latest song, fans haven't stopped mentioning Charles Leclerc, her best friend. Leclerc has made no statement on the matter, nor of his future marriage (have they cancelled it?). Lando Norris and other Formula One drivers seem to be aware of the events, however the protagonist of our story has been inactive in his social media.
Some days ago, fans have met the Ferrari driver at Y/N concert. Does his presence mean they are still good friends or has he finally ended his relationship with his fiancée? Is Leclerc single now?

Do you have a favourite bit of drow lore?❤️
Oh, this is a hard question 😄
I suppose that my favourite bits of drow lore - or elven lore in general, in various fictional universes - are those subtle, often easy to overlook details that show how "other" drow are.
For example, in Drow of the Underdark (2e) it is mentioned that drow typically have long, slender and very sensitive fingers, and a highly developed tactile sense - which is probably an adaptation to living in dark, underground environment. It is also said that drow sometimes use subtle, braille-like tactile writing to communicate - for example, to leave messages on rock walls or stones that can be read only by other drow.
Drow also tend to have inhumanly nimble fingers - that is why non-drow are often unable to learn drow sign language (at least not to a degree of being perfectly fluent at it).
Also, drow hearing. Yes, it is also highly developed (elves, duh), but living in the Underdark heavily influenced how drow use their sense of hearing and how they perceive various sounds.
Underground soundscapes are very different from surface ones - typically, many creatures avoid attracting unwanted attention by staying silent, and practically every sound creates an echo. I imagine that for an average Underdark drow, surface would be a very noisy place and for some time, they would be confused by all these various new sounds, not knowing whether they mean "danger" or not.
Also, according to lore, drow tend to feel uneasy under open sky and feel much more comfortable when they have a roof (or something similar) over their heads.
Maybe that is one of the reasons why they often cover their heads with cowls when they visit surface - not only to shield themselves from sunlight and curious glances, but also from that vast void of the sky that makes them feel exposed and unsafe.
I really like how it was accentuated in Baldur's Gate where Viconia - as a companion - comments occasionally: There is no roof to this world. I feel as if I shall fall into this sky of yours sometimes.
I am not a fan of portraying elves as pretty humans with long ears and even longer lifespans - and in case of drow, there is also the matter of their unique environment. I really like stumbling across pieces of lore that show how different they are and how alien the surface world is to them (or at least to vast majority of them).

Stray Kids on Weed
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Han Strain In which the love of their life smokes the mary jane, and they give it a shot for the first time...
Bangchan | Minho | Changbin | Hyunjin Jisung | Felix | Seungmin | Jeongin
A Few Notes: This is purely just supposed to be funny and a joke. I've also never been high and while I am friends with those who have either tried weed or do weed on the regular, I only know so much. So please just bear with me and have a good laugh, okay? Okay. Love you guys ❤️❤️❤️ (P.S. I should also mention that this one is a little bit suggestive but it's not horrible)
Tumblr media
Ah, our sweet baby Jisung. I can see his first ever experience of weed coming through a joint. He always thought you looked badass when you smoked joints, and he always wanted to give it a shot. And while he did end up having a coughing fit the first few puffs (because he really just didn't want to listen to you since "you figured it out for yourself, so I can do the same"), he actually found himself getting really relaxed from smoking said joint.
Little did he know what was in store for him. See, Jisung, when he's high, can blab. And blab. And blab, and blab. And um, well...
Blab.
He completely uses his filter, and just says anything and everything that comes to mind. And I mean anything. Jisung will voice out one thing, and then will switch topics instantly. Something like this: "I'm really excited about my new song, because it's written in the sense that I've now found who I'm supposed to be, and I really think that...you know, you look really hot. We can come back to this topic later, I just...can we just fuck really quick?"
Oh, and it's not just this kind of switch. This man is also a foodie. Yeah, he can be craving you and want to dig in between your legs and stay put for forever, but he'll also want to eat just a shit ton of meat or junk food. No veggies though. Veggies are dumb, and they don't mean anything. But he can talk about work, to you, to sex, to wanting to have sex, to really just wanting a juicy burger from that one fast food place that's nowhere in Korea.
Now, Jisung doesn't have a filter when he talks when he's high. But if you thought that it was just that? You're VERY wrong. Jisung also doesn't have a filter when it comes to when he's actually physically doing things, too. Like, he just acts first, and then thinks later.
He'll be talking, and then go to the kitchen and take a piece of bread before stabbing it a few times. And then he'll eat it. Just...right then and there. And when you ask him why he did that, he'll shrug, saying "I don't know man, isn't it common sense to kill things before you eat them?"
So now comes the question of, "Will he do weed again?" And my answer for you is that yes, he will. He really enjoys how relaxed and carefree he is, and he feels like it's a great way to bond with you, too. Also...he just...he likes feeling like a badass with his tattoos and smoking a joint. Y'know?
Tumblr media
Hey! Firstly, thank you so much for reading this post, and I really hope you enjoyed! If you did, please like, reblog, or comment so I can see how I'm doing with writing and getting feedback! I hope you have a lovely day! Sleep well, stay in good health, and eat something if you haven't! ❤️❤️❤️

Not important enough (Rúben Dias x Reader)
Tumblr media
**Another request I got a couple of weeks ago that really intrigued me when I first read it and I finally got what I thought was the right idea for it. I hope you enjoy a bit of angst and fluff on this lovely Sunday afternoon ❤️**
Word count: 2753
Masterlist
Wattpad
Your eyes hurt from staring at the laptop’s screen for too long so you took your glasses off to massage the inner corner of your eyes, trying to relieve some of the pressure building near the bridge of your nose.
“Take a break”, said Rúben but you shook your head while keeping your eyes closed. “Come on, don’t be stubborn. You won’t be able to work properly while your eyes are teary from how tired they are”.
“Are you the doctor now?”
“Yes, it’s Dr Dias’ advice to take a break”.
You chuckled seeing his serious face. He was definitely not a doctor but he was right. So you got up and walked to the kitchen to make a cup of tea that could help you wake up a little.
“I could make it for you”, offered your boyfriend.
“I appreciate it but you never get the milk ratio right. And you always forget the honey”.
His pouty face made you laugh again and you got up on your tiptoes to peck his lips.
“I still love you despite your inability to make good tea”.
“It’s just you being too complicated”.
“I prefer high maintenance. Sounds more expensive”.
Even though Rúben couldn’t make tea, he was very good at getting your favourite biscuits so you could have them with your cuppa.
“Thank you. I can’t even remember when I last ate”.
“You’re working too hard”.
“Well, this project won’t finish itself, sadly. But it’s almost done. And then we enjoy showing it off to the world”.
Rúben moved closer to wrap his arms around your waist. “Everyone will see how smart you are and I’ll have to fight them all off. As if being pretty wasn’t enough for you. No, you had to be a genius too”.
Laughing at his joke, you turned to face him. “Well, when they see you by my side, they’ll know to keep their distance”.
“See me?”
“Yeah, you’re coming to the presentation, right?”
“Why would I? I’m not a doctor”.
“I’m not a football player and I go to your matches”, you said, removing his arms from around your body.
“It’s not the same, you understand football and can enjoy it. What am I supposed to do at that presentation? I won’t get anything you all say. I’m a dummy”, he tried to joke but you weren’t in the mood for jokes.
“It’s not about understanding it, Rúben. It’s about supporting me like I support you”.
Grabbing your cup, you went back to your desk. You were fuming but didn’t want to argue more. You were exhausted from all the hard work your boyfriend didn’t even care about.
“Of course I support you. I spent the last week worried about you working too much, trying to get you to take breaks, worried about your health…”.
“Sorry to be such an inconvenience to you”.
“That’s not what I meant. I like being worried”, he groaned, realising he just kept saying the wrong thing. “I don���t like being worried but I like looking after you. I don’t mind. I just…”.
“You look after me for weeks but can’t spend two hours sitting on some comfortable chairs listening to me talk about something I’ve worked on for months”.
“I told you, I won’t understand a thing so it’d be boring for me…”.
“Boring? You think I enjoy seeing 6-0 wins against Nottingham Forest?”
“You’re missing my point”.
“I’m not missing any points, Rúben. I see this very clearly. I'm not important enough for you to make a small effort”.
He flinched at your tone. You didn’t raise your voice but he could hear the hurt you felt in every word.
"It's like you only care about my career because it makes you look good".
“What? What does that even mean?”
"Every video you do, every interview is the same. Look at me. I'm so smart and I date someone smart. I'm not going out with bimbos like all the others".
“That’s not what I’m doing”.
“You might not notice but it is. It seems to me that you talk more about my career with others than you do with me”.
"Is that how you feel?"
"Yes, sometimes it is. Right now, for example".
“I never meant to make you feel like that”, he says, his voice so low you could barely hear him.
“Yeah, well…but thank you for giving me an excuse to not go to your matches. I also find them very boring. But I’ll make sure to tell everyone I’m dating a footballer just to show off”.
Rúben was hurt by your words but cared more about how he had been hurting you by doing something he wasn’t even aware of, so he just left you to keep working. When you were angry, you needed time to cool down. So he would give you time.
But by the time he was getting ready for bed, you were still working and he didn’t know what to do. Normally, he would try to get you to stop working so you could rest. But now he feared another argument happening so he didn’t say anything.
The following morning, Rúben woke up and found your side of the bed was empty and it looked like you hadn’t slept there. That really worried him. He knew you were capable of staying up all night working. You told him about all the times you did that in uni during exams.
But you weren’t working. You were asleep… on the sofa. He shook his head, noticing your bad posture. Now you’d be angry at him and in pain. Great.
“Wake up”, he said gently, caressing your face.
“No”.
“If you want to sleep, you need to go to bed. Your back will kill you later for sleeping here”.
You finally turned to face him and he noticed the way you looked at him. No longer angry, but still hurt.
“What do I need to do so you forgive me? Name it and I will”.
“Too late to pretend you care, Rúben”, you said, getting up and going to your bed.
He followed you, but when he saw you cover your head with the blankets, he let you rest. There will be time to talk later.
                                       **
Bernardo worried seeing how weird his friend was behaving since he got to the training centre. He didn’t push him around once, so there was something wrong for sure.
“What’s going on?”, he asked, sitting next to Rúben, who had been staring at his phone for a while.
“Huh?”
“You’re acting weird. Everything alright?”
“Sure, other than the fact that my girlfriend doesn’t even want to speak to me because I’m an idiot”.
“What did you do?”
“She’s been working on this huge project for months and has to do a presentation next week”, he said, and Bernardo kept nodding to show he was listening. “And she thought I would go to the presentation but I didn’t expect her to invite me. I mean, that’s for doctors and such. I’m not smart enough to be there. So she got angry at me for not supporting her”.
“She’s got a point”.
Rúben sighed. “I know she does. But that’s not the worst thing. She thinks I only care about her career because it makes me look good to date a doctor. But that’s not true”.
“So”, said Bernardo, looking at Rúben’s phone. “Your solution to that is buying flowers? Really?”
Rúben locked his phone, annoyed at his inability to fix this. “It’s a start. She likes flowers”.
“I think what you two need to do is talk”.
Rúben knew his friend was right but still bought a bouquet of flowers on his way home. It couldn’t hurt, right?
“Hello?”
No response. Maybe you were out. That’d actually be good because you need the fresh air.
“Hi”, you said, taking your laptop from the kitchen to go back to your desk.
“You don’t need to hide from me”.
“I need silence to work. And are those for me?”
“Yes, I just thought it could cheer you up to see some fresh flowers. I got your favourites”.
“Thanks”, you said, but barely looked at the bouquet and went back to your desk.
Rúben knew he should allow you all the time you needed to stop being angry but he had to leave in two hours.
“Please, let’s just talk and fix this. I have to leave and I don’t want to be away from you knowing you’re mad at me”.
“We can talk when you come back from the match”.
At least you wanted to talk. “Ok. I’ll leave the tickets under your name like always…”.
“Don’t bother. I’m not going”.
“What do you mean you’re not going?”
“Too boring. And I have work to do”.
“But you’re always at my matches supporting me”.
“Yes, I know. I wish the support went both ways instead of being so one-sided”.
With that, you closed the door and Rúben knew there was nothing he could do. So he picked up his things and left. He could drive around the city for a couple of hours and try to relax. But the guilt didn’t allow him to do it.
You hated arguments. Always had. But arguments with Rúben hurt even more. Still…you were right to be angry. You were only asking for two hours of his time when you had spent God knows how many at matches. Even travelling to other countries to support him.
But then you went to the kitchen and saw the flowers and felt terrible for being so harsh. You could feel the tears in your eyes while you got the vase and placed the flowers there. He was trying but just didn’t understand why he had hurt you so much.
Somehow, you managed to sleep for a couple of hours. And when you woke up, you headed to the shower to get ready for the day. There was a lot of work that needed to be done. And then there was Rúben.
Rúben also only slept for a couple of hours, which wasn’t ideal before a match. But he couldn’t stop thinking about your argument. And knowing you weren’t going to be there supporting him really showed him how painful it must have been for you to hear he wouldn’t attend your presentation.
The match was thankfully pretty uneventful. Otherwise, he would have been in trouble because he hadn’t been able to concentrate properly at all. His teammates must have noticed how silent he was but didn’t say anything. They knew he didn’t take it well when his performance was subpar so they just assumed that was what was bugging him.
“Hi. Can you drive me home?”, he turned when he heard your voice and found you standing awkwardly. “I called an Uber to come to the stadium so…can I go back home with you?”
He nodded, not believing you were there. “I thought you weren’t coming to the match”.
“I’m always here to support you, Rúben. No matter how badly you mess up”.
He finally had a reason to smile and the smile only got bigger when you hugged him. “I don’t deserve you”.
“Don’t say that. And I’m sorry I was so mean to you but you really hurt me”.
“I know”, he said, moving back to look at you. “I get it. And I’m sorry. I’d love to go to that presentation even if I don’t understand anything. I want to support you, always”.
“You don’t have to…”.
“But I do. And…yes, you were right about me showing off how smart you are. But it’s not to pretend to be better than others. It’s just because I can’t believe someone as smart as you would want to be with an idiot like me who only knows how to kick a ball”.
“Don’t be so hard on yourself. You also know how to head a ball”, you joked, making him laugh. “You aren’t stupid, Rúben. I would never date someone stupid. I've got high standards”.
“I feel very stupid now”.
“Wait until you go to the presentation, then”.
                                     **
After months of hard work, it was time to show it to the world and you were absolutely terrified.
"Why are you staring at yourself like that?", asked Rúben when he got inside the room and saw you standing in front of the mirror, only wearing a towel after your shower.
"I forgot everything I've ever learnt".
"No, you haven't. Did you take something for your anxiety?"
When you shook your head, he went back to the kitchen to grab a glass of water and then took one of your tablets from the nightstand. You thanked him and took the tablet, letting out a big sigh afterwards.
"Need anything else?"
"No, I just have to get dressed and do my hair and makeup. Nothing too fancy. I won't take long".
You grabbed the clothes and went to the bathroom. And just twenty minutes later, you came out and Rúben couldn't stop staring at you.
"You look so sexy".
"I'm not supposed to look sexy, Rúben. I'm supposed to look professional".
You went back to the mirror to see your outfit again. Was the skirt too short? Should you do the top button of the blouse too?
"You look professional. But also sexy because you just can't help it".
That made you chuckle. "Heels or flats?"
"Heels and that skirt…".
"Rúben, you're drooling".
"And that's just from imagining it. When I see you actually wearing them, I'll need CPR. Thank God I live with a doctor".
You rolled your eyes and found the earrings you wanted to wear before putting on your heels.
"See? You didn't faint".
"No, but is this normal?", he asked, grabbing your hand and putting it on his chest so you could notice how fast his heart was beating, which only made you roll your eyes again.
"Let's go or we'll be late".
Only five minutes into the presentation, Rúben realized how wrong he had been. Boring? This topic was fascinating!
He actually enjoyed listening to the physios whenever they chatted with each other about the player's injuries. Even if he didn't understand many words they said. But he made himself feel better thinking he probably knew them in Portuguese but not in English.
By the time you were done with the presentation, he was even more impressed by how smart you were. And you always played it down saying you just knew the same as every doctor but Rúben could hear other people whispering about how brilliant your presentation was so he knew that brain of yours was very special.
Everyone stood to applaud you and your colleagues but no one did as enthusiastically as Rúben. Actually, one of the men on his right looked at him with raised eyebrows.
"She's my girlfriend", he said, pointing at the stage.
The only boring part was having to wait for you by the car. So many people wanted to talk to you and congratulate you…but Rúben just wanted to get his girlfriend back.
"Finally!", you said, approaching the car and taking your shoes off.
"You were so brilliant!", said Rúben, lifting you in his arms and spinning you around. "Everyone talked about how good your research was. You should have heard them. And you looked so good too. My extremely smart and sexy doctor".
You were still laughing when he finally put you back down. "I take it wasn't boring then".
"Boring? I have so many questions. Let's get in the car and you can start answering them. That last bit about the muscle tissue blew my mind".
"I'm a bit tired of talking. Could we leave the questions for tomorrow?"
Rúben realized how exhausted you looked and nodded. "Sure, whenever you can and want".
You got into the car and closed your eyes, trying to calm down after such an intense event.
"But just one thing. That first procedure you explained, could it be applied to athletes too? I think our doctors would love to hear your presentation".
Opening your eyes, you turned your head to look at your boyfriend. And you couldn't help but smile at him and his excitement. "Do you want me to do the presentation again but for them?", you laughed.
"Only if I get to be there. I'll bring a notebook to take notes and everything".
"Don't worry. I heard you're sleeping with the professor, I'm sure she'll let you borrow her notes".

A Space Journey
Part Nine
Summary: We learn more about Tyler…though his present comes back to him, his duty.
Notes/Warnings: 18+ and over, please! Consensual p in v intercourse, angst, some drinking (always be safe) angst
In Aliens there is a moment where we see the heroine, Ripley sitting on a bench in front of a screen that displayed a moment in a forest..there were sound effect to accompany the moment…I am using that in my next chapter for something with Tyler & his gal…with my own twist to it.
(It’s a bit of a long chapter!)
❤️s, feedback, comments & reblogs are appreciated. Thank you for reading!
“I can’t dwell on this any further. I’m just grateful to be home with you, and the others.” His voice drifted off.
He knew the company had more in store for him. After seeing that creature, he instantly had regretted his decision. He had to remind himself, why he agreed. Things would get better. Life would be better. It had to.
He remembered earlier how his anxiety grew. He had seen you sitting and laughing with Rain and Andy. You were smiling. He took a step closer to you as you poured yourself some of the amber liquid.
He leaned on the counter. “Pour me some more of that, please.”
You nodded. He did enjoy watching how you moved to reach for his glass.
He clinked his glass with yours before you both swallowed down the sharp liquid.
“Will you tell me how you became friends with Rain and Andy?”
You coughed, nodded. “I was only teasing. I don’t really know them.” Shrugging, you gathered up the glasses to put them in the cleaner. “A few days ago, I stopped some little hoods from trying to destroy Andy. She chased me off, probably thinking I was one of them.”
“You are small enough.” He chuckled softly.
You rose an eyebrow.
“You know how much I love how small you are.”
“I suppose.” Your eyes met and a small smile was shared. “Well, anyway today he came over telling those horrible jokes, and after asking I finally joined them.”
“Rain’s father programmed Andy with those jokes after patching him up.”
“So, there is some history there.”
He bit the inside of his cheek. “Yes, Rain and I were in a relationship.”
“Mmmhmm.”
“It was when my father was still alive.” He wished he knew how you were feeling.
“That was a while ago.”
“Yes, it was quite a few cycles ago.”
“Who ended it?” You tucked some hair behind your ear.
“Does it matter?”
You nodded. “I want to know.”
“I did.”
“Why?”
“I didn’t know what I wanted.”
He looked away.
“My mother had just passed. I wanted more of something reliable and carefree.”
He looked back at you.
“I was a mess. All I could really focus on what Bjorn and I had discovered. Making surreal Kay was looked after.”
He smirked then, remembering the rush from those first trips.
“We could make very easy credits scavenging. We were on and off world a lot. We were making a lot, even bought this old hauler and refurbished it.”
He patted the Corbelan.
“That was a big for us. She never joined us, thought I was being reckless. Thought, we were like the pirates from the old stories. Made me feel like a thief, worse and I couldn’t accept that so I walked away.”
“None of that must have been easy. You find things, making our little world better.” You smiled up at him.
He rubbed your arm. “Thank you.”
“I mean, I’d be lying if I said you were not a complete and utter scoundrel.”
A smirked curled his lips, he enjoyed how you looked at him.
“The charm, the swagger in which you approached me with, I couldn’t resist.” You giggled, continuing.
He pulled you close. “So you like that I’m a scoundrel huh?”
You reached up and brushed some strands that had fallen into his eyes.
“I do.” A smile spread across your face.
“Good. You better.”
He kissed you then, a soft sound came from him as he felt your lips. It was almost too much. He had missed the feel of them so much.
*******
Barely, was the door of his room closed and locked when both of you landed on his bed. You made quick work of his sweater that you had so pulled on earlier. Easily you were wiggling free of your pants. Some of his inky strands had fallen into his eyes as he stood watching you as he pulled and tugged at his own garments. Once enough was off, he crawled over you, his weight felt delicious on you.
He cupped your cheek, his thumb caressing your cheek. “In cryo sleep, all I dreamt of was you.”
“I’d lay here missing; thinking of you. Remembering you.”
Opening your legs more for him, a soft moan broke your lips as you felt him graze your opening.
“I will remind you again.” He practically growled.
“Yes.” The word broke as a moan came from your lips as he entered you.
********
Your fingers entangled in his sweat soaked, strands. Your eyes never left each other, kisses became bites and bites became kisses. You clung to him, never wanting to let him go as he moved above. Your moans mingled and became one like the two of you were.
“Ooo Tyler.” You managed to call out, after your body erupted in pleasure from tightening against him.
Your name poured from his lips, as you felt him fill you. His breath warm, panted harshly in the aftermath. “Love you, baby.” He breahted before as his forehead rested against yours.
*******
The place hummed, it was warm. Almost steamy like the aftermath of a hot shower session. Liquids flowed, some sticky and sweet while others were sharp and hot like a flame as it coursed a flame to the belly to whomever decided to swallow it. The lights shone while others moved with the beat of the music.
Tyler kept a hand on your hip since you and the others came to the bar, it was a firm grasp. Not one you could forget that it was there, and to be honest you really didn’t want to. You had missed, his steady touches.
He matched your movements as you danced. You relished how this made your heart race and you alive you felt.
******
It was nice to only have to focus on you. He debated if he wanted to encourage his cousin’s new salvage. It worried him, that they had gone on one without him.
Though, he knew that soon he’d be getting his new assignment soon. He kept a steady eye on the bar. In the back of his mind, he worried the man who had been bold enough to attack you, may try again since he was home.
That’s when he could have sworn he saw something. He did. But he relaxed, it was only Xano.
“Baby?” He said hoping it was loud enough.
You looked up at him through a swish of your hair.
“Yes?” He saw her reply.
“Lets get a drink. I see someone I know.”
You nodded.
Easily with a hand on your lower back, he guided you over to where Xano stood.
“Hi partner.” He greeted him.
“Harrison!” Xano smiled, then looked over you. “Is this the girl you told me about?”
He smiled proudly. “She is.”
“Hello? So I guess Tyler has been talking about me?”
Xano nodded. “Only good things.”
You giggled. “Is there any bad?”
He smiled and gave you a squeeze. “Maybe.” Catching the bartender’s eyes he motioned for some drinks.
“Ow!” You smacked Tyler’s arm.
“There wasn’t.” Xano spoke up. “He loves you, he is a very brave man.”
You smiled at Xano and then back at Tyler. “He is far braver than me.”
He shrugged. “I have my moments.” He moved closer to the artificial man. “Xano, what are you doing here?”
“Was hoping to see you, meet the pretty girl that brought your head to the stars during cryo sleep.”
“Oh? So you did dream of me.” You piped in.
He smiled. “I told you I did.”
“You did.” You smiled, tucking some hair behind your ear. “You two will have to excuse me, I need to freshen up.”
“Don’t be gone too long. Xano and I might have to go out onto the dance floor without you.” He gently teased.
“Sure. Sure.” You rolled your eyes.
He nodded as the bartender slid a cold, frosty looking glass. He did enjoy that the great amount of credits he had and how they were improving things
Taking a sip, he enjoyed the crisp, cool liquid.
“Xano? What’s really going on?” He leaned against the counter.
“They wanted to send a friendly face, they are very pleased with you. We’re needed. We will have to push off the strength training. A satellite has gone off coms and they expect this creature is at fault.”
He took a more substantial sip. It bubbled all the way down to his stomach.
“Then why do they need us?”
“You are the best, they like you.”
“Right. I believe that. I’m the most reckless.” He finished the drink.
“That is true too.”
“Didn’t they learn anything from the data we brought back? This thing is lethal, we should not try to trifle with it again.”
Xano’s face was impassive. “They need more information on the subject.”
Tyler groaned, he put the glass back on rhe counter. He motioned for another one. “One of these days, that creature may bring about our end.”
“I am hoping we can achieve what needs to be done.”
“And that is?”
“For humans to have an advantage, to strengthen them.”
Tyler shrugged, he nodded once again as a glass slid his way. “I want to close out my bill.”
Giving, Xano a side long glance. Reaching into his back pocket, he eyed his credits, he covered the bill and a decent tip. He nodded to the man, sliding the credits over. “Have a good night.”
“Thank you.” The man replied with his own thin lipped grimace.
“How long do I have?” He turned his attention back to Xano and took a sip from the glass.
“They wanted you tomorrow but I reminded them you should have some more time to recuperate since, your body had not taken too kindly to the differences.”
Tyler rose an eyebrow. “I’ll be alright.”
“We need to up your strength.”
“I’ll get there.”
“I know.”
“The day after tomorrow, they want you there early, there is asteroid field passing through.”
“So a few days were only a couple.”
Xano nodded.
“How long will we be gone?”
“I don’t feel like my calculations are strong.”
Tyler drew closer and rose an eyebrow, he glanced around. “I still trust them.”
“If we factor in the asteroid belt that is coming through, it may be closer to a year possibly just over a year.”
Tyler slumped. “Will that be the entirety or is that round trip or one way?” He pressed his lips together.
“That is where my calculations are fuzzy.”
“Damn it.” He slammed his hand on to the bar. Bracing himself on it as his annoyance bubbling hotly in him.
Xano put a hand on his arm. “Look, this will be even better than the last one. What we are supposed to see and acquire will make some great advances in the program.”
He glanced at him through the strands of his hair that fell into his eyes. “This will be rough. My girl, was attacked almost raped while I was gone. I couldn’t fucking protect her.”
“We can hire protection. You can marry her when we get back.”
“Protection?”
“Yeah. There are artificial people like me but just for that kind of protocol.”
“Would she have to know?”
“You wouldn’t want her to be aware of the protection?”
“I don’t want her to worry. She likes to blend in, not get noticed. “
Xano, nodded. “I can make sure she doesn’t know.”
“Alright. Then yes, let’s do that.”
“I will go and begin prepping the ship. See you in about thirty two hours.”
“Alright.” They clapped each other in the back and tapping on his watching he called up Vacation Immersions.”
He eyed the packages available for tomorrow. It was slim pickings up here was able to pick a good one. He hoped it would soften the blow of him leaving again so soon. He confirmed, just as you bounced up to him.
You glanced around. “Where did Xano go to?”
“Oh?” He shoved his one hand into the pocket pf his pants. He mustered his best smile. “He just wanted to finally meet the gal filling my dreams and much of my waking hours as well.” He chuckled.
“So distance makes you a softie huh?”
You smiled wide eyed and warmly up at him. It tore him to shreds.
He nodded. “Now, hey enough talking why don’t I twirl you around some more before we head back to the Corbelan. Tomorrow we got a big day ahead.”
Excitement shined on you. “Tomorrow? We do?”
He nodded. “Yup.”
“Alright then, dance with me love.”

Anything For You
Pairing: Javier Peña x female reader
Word Count: 1.3K
Summary: You want to do something with Javi but you're not sure he'd be into it...
Author's Note: This was supposed to be about pumpkin picking and going to the farm. I wrote this Joel story about pumpking picking and thought it would be fun to do it with Javi...but he had other plans so this is what happened...I do mention it but it's not the focus LOL Thank you all so much for reading! Much love always! ❤️❤️❤️Divider by the lovely @firefly-graphics thank you Daisy! 🥰
Warnings: fun and flirty, soft and sweet, smut, fingering, oral (f rec), Javi is a warning bc duh
Tumblr media
Pedro Pascal Character Masterlist
Tumblr media
The answer to the light knock at his door is a simple, “no.”
Another knock.
“Steve,” he grumbles, without looking up from his papers.
“This one isn’t a no,” Steve replies with a smile in his voice.
Javi’s eyebrows raise and he leans back in his chair behind the desk. At the conceding silence the door opens and reveals Steve.
“You’re not a yes,” Javi mutters.
You slip around Steve and saunter into the office.
“No, he isn’t,” you say sweetly. “But I am.”
Javi couldn’t stop the smile from spreading across his lips even if he wanted to.
“Angel,” he says softly.
He quickly shoots Steve a look that says, ‘get the fuck out,’ before his dark eyes drink you in. With a pat to his thigh, he calls you over.
Steve shuts the door with a light chuckle and shake of his head.
“Hi,” you murmur as you sit on Javi’s lap.
He slides one hand up your thigh, squeezing gently while the other smooths along the curve of your spine to grab the back of your neck. His thumb brushes along the nape before his fingers tighten and he drags you down to his lips.
“Hi,” he says after kissing you. “To what do I owe the pleasure angel?”
“I just came by to see you. I missed you.”
He chuckles and lightly runs his fingertips down between your breasts to the hem of your dress. With his eyes locked on yours he slowly pushes the material higher, exposing more and more of your bare skin.
Your breath hitches and your legs instinctively move apart. When his fingers brush the silk between your legs his smile falters and pushes out his bottom lip.
“You’re wearing panties. That’s no fun.”
“And you’re very observant,” you shoot back as you try to keep your voice steady.
“So, does this mean I don’t get to bend you over my desk today?”
You throw him a matching pout and his eyes drop to your mouth, tracking the movement.
“I never said you couldn’t do that. I just have a question first.”
“So, you didn’t just come by to say hi?” he teases, his fingers still working their magic against your quickly dampening panties.
Ignorning his playfulness for the moment you try to stay focused.
“You have to stop that before I ask.”
“Stop what angel?”
“Javi?”
“Hm?”
“I can’t concentrate.”
“You’re doing just fine.”
“But…”
He lightens his touch, still teasing but relenting enough to let some of your haze lift. You try to shift in his lap but his grip on your waist tightens and he holds you firmly in place.
Clearing your throat you say, “I want you to take me pumpkin picking.”
His movements stop and it makes you break out into a smile. He removes his hand from under your skirt and taps the top of his desk.
You slide off his thigh and sit on the cool wood, spreading your legs so he can slide his chair between them.
“You want to go to a farm? And pick pumpkins?”
You nod, “mm hm…and maybe apples? And bake things with them.”
“Ok,” he says as his flattened palms slide up your thighs. “We can do that.”
Your eyebrows shoot up in surprise. “That’s it?”
“What do you mean that’s it. Of course I’ll take you pumpkin picking.”
At your stunned silence, his lips twitch with a lopsided smirk.
“What?” he asks as he rubs small circles with his thumb on your inner thighs.
“I guess I thought it would take more convincing.”
With a tug he shifts you closer to the edge of his desk and pushes your skirt up over your hips.
“Right now, I’d do just about anything you asked if it’ll get me between these gorgeous legs faster.”
“Javi.”
You want his name to come out with some force but instead it breathy and desperate.
“Put your legs over my shoulders angel.”
You do as he says, exhaling a shaky breath when his hands run up your legs and back down again, before slowly peeling off you panties. You squirm on top of the desk, and he stops you with a firm hand to your lower stomach.
“Stay still,” he breathes between your legs.
“Please,” you gasp.
He places a soft kiss to the delicate skin right at the place where your hip meets your thigh. “Please what…give you what you really came here for?”
Your lips part but only a low, pleading sound comes out as he noses your pussy, pressing, before kissing it softly.
“Or should I punish you for thinking I wouldn’t take you pumpkin picking.”
‘Both please,’ you think, but instead, find your sassiness and reply with, “put your mouth on me Javi. Now.”
You feel his smile before he licks you with a long, firm drag of his tongue. You arch off the desk and push onto his face, and he opens his mouth, sucking, and nibbling before he pushes two fingers inside you.
Your head falls back, and he slows his movements. “Eyes on me angel,” he growls.
Pushing up onto your elbow, you run your other hand into his hair and gently guide him with a roll of your hips. He groans again and you tug harder on his hair, the dizzy feeling growing until you’re shaking with the blissful spasms that move through your body.
Your legs shake and threaten to close around his head, but he holds you open, pumping his fingers and dragging out your pleasure until you’re gasping and struggling to sit up.
He looks up, his hair a mess from your hands and his lips wet and swollen. A shaky breath slides past your lips, and you watch as he stands, hovering over you and placing his arms on either side of your body.
“Do you need more reminding that I’d do anything you ask?”
“Javi,” you whisper, grabbing his face and pulling his lips down to yours, kissing them, kissing down his throat, your tongue gliding over his skin that tastes of sweat.
He takes you in his arms and lifts you up to a sitting position.
“Do you know which farm you want to go to?” he asks in between kisses.
“Mm hm,” you hum as your hands tug on the buttons of his shirt and you start to pull it free of his pants.
Your nails scratch over his skin and stop at his belt, working the buckle open so that it hangs loosely at the sides.
“You’re going to bake me things so when I come home I have something to eat after you.”
The sound of his zipper moving down makes you bite your bottom lip.
“Are we still talking about the apples and pumpkins?” you ask demurely. “Or do you have some housewife fantasy you want me to fulfill.”
He gives you a wicked smile.
“I wouldn’t have any problem with coming home to you in nothing but an apron and an apple pie in the oven angel,” he croons.
Your answer is the slide of your hand into his pants and a tight grip that makes him hiss out your name.
“I want that reminder Javi,” you purr. “Remind me you’re mine and you’d do anything I ask.”
Tumblr media
The warm sun beats down on your face and you squint as you glance at Javi, seated next you, his sunglasses perched on his nose, his dark hair falling over his forehead, and his expression relaxed. His long arm is draped over your shoulders, and you’re tucked comfortably against his side as the tractor wobbles and shakes over every uneven patch of earth.
Tumblr media
“This isn’t so bad right?” you ask him, pressing your palm to his stomach.
“Nothing bad about it angel,” he replies softly as he stretches his legs out in front of him and tugs you closer.
A large bag of apples and a stack of pumpkins awaits you at the end of the tractor ride and there’s definitely a freshly baked pie in Javi’s future.

I just finished reading the new fic, and it was amazing !!! I dont know why, but i got hung up the most on Jiaoqiu. Like, he sounds so mellow and like he's in genuine love, but I dont know if it's just the effects the incubi has on him. (When he says the smell of burnt caramel got stronger, it's because of the transformation the protag had, right?)
So funny to see the cryptologist and the kafka mention. I love how you portray Kafka in your fics. she's always stirring up jealousy in the love interests.
I truly do wonder if Sunday will be forgiven for laying with a demon. I mean, if he can say he was doing 'salvation' he could get away with it. In the game, his npc model has what appears to be dark indigo wings, which implies he is not as pure as he appears to be, so I imagined his wings that colour. Im guessing his mission was subduing the protag, which he literally did haha.
And moze was such a sweetheart!! When he said he wouldn't care about being sent to hell as long as his fate is forever intertwined with yours, it is so cute. Im thinking he was also lying to himself about how he was following the protag due to his suspicions but was actually just obsessed. Him staying up late to see the protag come back home, was it similar to the cryptologist au? Where he was jealous they wouldnt approach him, or was it part of his stalking?. Also, when he felt fear but it was overridden by lust that made him get closer without thinking it could end his life ❤️.
Also cant imagine how their life will be after this encounter (im glad for Mr. Hopkins that they were able to film a good mockumentary and didn't just submit that !!). Im a Moze fan, so him being the roommate makes me think his life just got better (and that his photo taking hobby just got started).
I loved it, amazing halloween fic.
-swan anon 🦢
first let me just say DAMN I appreciate your dedication to delivering thorough analyses and eating them up every darn time
second I am locked in with a very tall cup of coffee I am ready
no same I was secretly rooting for jiaoqiu too; like originally he wasn't going to be part of it because then I'd have to plan more with an established character. reader was just gonna be someone who sleeps around 😭he was supposed to have one scene too but ended up with four.. honestly I was also going to write him as like a yokai in my initial plans so he's somewhat immune to whatever reader has got going on (which honestly isn't much it's just enhanced allure or whatever)?? I thought it'd be pretty funny to have a character who officially knows about reader and just like... helps them out like an emergency snack or whatever. but yeah he's definitely infatuated - jiaoqiu for LIFEEE
(and yes you are correct the stronger scent did indeed indicate the successful transformation)
you know, I lowkey forgot about the cryptology-moze series and the reference was just my subconscious picking it out☠️also I don't know if I officially stated reader's major (I don't really know myself) but it's hilarious to me to picture some demon just figuring out maths and working in it
did not register the kafka mention until I got to the end whoops
she wasn't even meant to be in this 😭like it was just supposed to be some faceless avatar of lust but then i was like hmm... we've got someone who literally puppets others as part of her mechanics like ??
kafka>>
she's so fun to use as a plot device cuz she just catalyses everything
Sunday will NOT be forgiven 🗣️🗣️that particular line I wrote where angels can lie to themselves is alluding to him convincing himself he isn't doing anything wrong; I was actually going to originally expand on him 'falling' from Harmony or whatever because of his allegiance to the Order - so he was doomed either way to be corrupted. his mission did include subduing the protag but was more a general order to keep order within the human realm which did include finding out demons - so not necessarily reader but he did sus them out pretty much from the start. however he was not supposed to sleep with a demon at all 😭like that line about keeping reader by him to prevent him from getting with other humans is just his bs justification to convince himself that he's still on the right path - but alas, his tenets have been fundamentally crumbling anyway due to his subversion to the harmony. I thought it was funny as fuck having a doomed angel for halloween
there's just something about fallen angel sunday, fits in with his lore too
but yeah themes of denial are heavy in this man, like he's convinced himself that he's on the right path but he's really not he's just entranced by the protag 😭
hmm
yup i had so much fun writing moze he's so cute. he is the prime human Sunday should be worried about but instead he's just competing with him
oh yes 100% lying I love writing unreliable narrators
YES similar to the cryptologist au it was his way of gaining information on you but also sorta looking out for the protag (and jealousy); also lowkey the bit about fear getting overridden was so funny to write about because he's just walked in on a literal angel and demon and just keeps marching forward like 😭😭
that triangle formation remains 100%
like mr hopkins just thinks "oh wow my students are completely dedicated to warding off demon energy thus are in perfect formation for doing so" or whatever ☠️
but reader now essentially has three emergency snacks and sunday's path to salvation is not looking very good tbh
also yeah that mockumentary saved their asses because I physically could not write them only having one film on that camera
that camera will have to get SCOURED before they return it, but Moze's already got it safely transferred to his heavily fortified laptop and Sunday's just keeping the really old one 😭
there's just something about the moze roommate brainrot... he's definitely gloating over it and sunday's just feeling his blood pressure rise for the first time since gaining a corporeal body (and moze's DEFINITELY getting several high-quality cameras because wdym he's just been rewatching the tapes instead of sleeping..)
anyways I got home with around five hours left before midnight and I started finishing off the final scenes at like 10 I was so stressed bro trying to make it and upload it halloween ended
AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR LONG ANALYSIS SWAN ANON IT WAS VERILY APPRECIATED

Some subtly romantic and erotic moments from “the moon is brighter tonight” scene in the novel:
(with screenshots + my summaries and rough translations)
Lianhua and Di Feisheng sneak into Jiao Liqiao’s bedroom, which contains a hot tub and bookshelves. Lianhua throws (yes, the verb used here is “throw/toss”) Di Feisheng into the hot tub and then jumps in with him. He washes himself off, and then goes over to the bookshelf to look through her documents.
Tumblr media
Di Feisheng continues to relax in the hot tub and listens to the sound of Lianhua rummaging through the scrolls behind him. Although he can’t see him, Di Feisheng knows his every move from sound alone. The warmth of the hot tub suddenly triggers in him a distant memory: that of Xiangyi playing a game of chess with a top courtesan in a famous brothel in Yangzhou city. He vaguely remembers that the loser of every match had to compose one verse. Xiangyi lost 36 matches against the courtesan and thus used her lipstick as ink to compose a 36-verse poem called “a destined marriage tied in eternity” (note that the final scene in the novel ends with Di Feisheng losing his 136th game of chess to Lianhua 👀; also, why does the warmth of the hot tub and the sound of Lianhua rummaging through scrolls trigger Ah Fei’s memory of watching Xiangyi play a flirtatious game with a prostitute??? Isn’t he supposed to be disinterested in everything outside martial arts???)
In the present moment, Lianhua yawns and asks Di Feisheng if he is hungry. Di Feisheng ignores the question and asks him if he still holds a sword nowadays. Lianhua replies hazily (the word use here is 朦胧, which means hazy, but it has some romantic/suggestive connotations in Chinese that hazy does not fully convey): “don’t you know that when someone asks you if you are hungry, they are actually trying to say ‘I am hungry, do you want to eat together?’” He then takes out some dishes he stole from the kitchen and asks again, with a faint smile, “are you hungry?” (Note: Lianhua is a flirt! ❤️)
Di Feisheng does feel hungry.
He leaps out of the hot tub and sits cross-legged next to Lianhua, splashing water everywhere in the process. Lianhua hurriedly moves the dishes out of the way so they don’t get wet. He says to Di Feisheng: “you’re too clumsy and wild…”
Tumblr media
The two of them sit facing each other, drinking wine. The light has dimmed outside, the moon has risen above the mountains, casting a snow white glow into the room.
“Today…”
“That year…”
The two of them spoke at the same time and stopped. Di Feisheng’s face softens and smiles: “What about today?”
Lianhua replies, “After today, what do you plan on doing?”
Di Feisheng continues to drink wine, smiles again, and says, “killing you.”
Lianhua smiles bitterly, unconsciously takes another sip of wine, and asks, “what about that year?”
“That year…” Di Feisheng paused a bit, “the moon was not as bright as today.”
Lianhua begins to laugh, raised his wine cup to the moon, and said, “that year…the moon that year was just as bright as today.”
And then Lianhua proceeds to ask Di Feisheng if he wants to marry a wife after this. Di Feisheng asks him why he’d want a wife and Lianhua replies that every man should have a wife. Di Feisheng then asks Lianhua , “what about you?” Lianhua says “my wife ran off with someone else”, and then starts to ramble about how happy he is that Wanmian got married and found happiness, and then Di Feisheng says, “it’s just a woman.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lianhua starts looking through Jiao Liqiao’s letters but seems to struggle. Di Feisheng asks him “what are you doing?”
Lianhua replies “I just want to read what’s in the letter.”
Di Feisheng looks at his eyes and asks: “you can’t see? What happened to your eyes?”
Lianhua explains how his sight is failing, and mutters, “sometimes I can’t see your face clearly either, it floats around, sometimes it is there sometimes it isn’t, so you don’t need to worry about…the fact that you are not wearing clothes….in front of me”
Di Feisheng cuts him off mid-sentence and starts reading the letters out loud for him. (Note: without Lianhua asking! 😍)

Any chance for a snippet for the next chapter Yokan? Or any idea when the next chapter is is going to come out ♥️ I’m re reading the Wolf 3 right now and am nearing the end of the updated chapters lol 😭
Hii, friend! ❤️ I can't promise when the next chapter will come because this is turning out to be a monster. 🥲 I'm at about 80% now, and have been making decent progress, but editing this is going to be🙃 So I hope to have it finished soon, but I don't know when. But since you asked, I can give you a little snippet. 😁 This is a scene I had been working on earlier today, Kol and Eve having a 1x1. Don't know if that's the kind of thing you wanted from this chapter, but I was actually having some fun writing this. 😂 Bear in my mind that I have not edited anything, so this could all change. But I hope you enjoy it. 🥲
From TW4x03: "Hello," he greets her, only half her face visible from where she's hiding - quite poorly, mind you - behind the kitchen door. Eve blinks up at him, but stays remains quiet. "Cat eat your tongue?"
She abandons her cover, stepping fully into the kitchen now, all pink pajamas and pigtails.
She is... Big. Kol is definitely not used to following humans' growth spurts from up-close. It's perfectly normal, he supposes, but it still comes as a bit of an irrational shock to see how she went from a little baby to this fully formed mini-person. A mini-Niklaus, nonetheless. Though with none of the malice and aggression and the annoying hubris ingrained into every line of Niklaus' body after a thousand years of living in pure rage. That aside, the similarity is uncanny. It's easy to forget there was once a sweet boy somewhere before the moody tyrant took over.
"My mom says I shouldn't talk to strangers," she tells him as though reciting words she's heard countless times before.
"Ouch. Out for blood, are you?" he retorts flatly. Her wariness doesn't bother him as it seemed to bother Niklaus earlier. In Kol's experience, it's smart to remain watchful around this family. "I'm not a stranger, though. I'm your coolest uncle. My name is -"
"Kol," she finishes for him. "I know."
He smiles. "See? You do know who your coolest uncle is."
"I don't really remember you, though."
A frown appears on her little brow, as though she's straining to remember, sweeping through her admittedly short tapestry of memories after any moments the two of them might have shared. The fact that he knows she won't find any does cause a bit of a pang, he must admit.
Kol doubts he would've spent much time around his niece anyway, seeing as he was always trying to free himself of his family's clutches, but the reasons why he didn't are still a sore spot. Niklaus didn't even trust him enough to tell him about his daughter at first. And when he finally did, Kol ended up murdered by another one of his brothers before he could even be properly introduced to Eve.
"Yes, well. A sore shame if you ask me. I'm rather delightful," he remarks, detracting from the bitterness. "Isn't it a bit past your bed time anyway? Are you up to no good, by any chance?"
"What are you going to do if I am?"
Kol coughs up a laugh at her unexpected show of defiance. "That depends," he bargains. "Are you planning on putting a frog under your uncle Elijah's pillow?"
Eve giggles. "No."
"Filling Rebekah's pillowcase with flour?" More giggles. "Oh, I know! You're going to spread spicy pepper on your father's toothbrush."
That gets a full-out belly-laugh from her, blue eyes twinkling with delight at the thought of playing pranks on her family. Kol likes her more and more by the second.
"That's mean!" she exclaims in-between waves of laughter.
"You say that because you haven't seen his face. Then it's just hilarious. But if anyone asks, I never told you that." He punctuates it with a wink.

~flashback~
For three years, Quinn and Kaliea (you) were in a very strong relationship. You felt safe and comfortable with whatever you did with Quinn. His compressed hugs that cut off your air supply, made you feel loved. Loved differently than anyone else.
After a soft launch onto the internet, shortly after, Quinn’s fan girls started to hate on Kaliea. The relationship lasted longer than expected but they got hate comments every post they shared. It didn’t hurt until…

hater.4 she’s so ugly.
↪️reply to hater.4 kalieaxqh43 umm okay but your acc is private so you really can’t be talking. Start posting and we can start comparing.

Yeah, the comments started to really burn. “Quinn. I can’t. Not anymore. We either stop being public or…”
“Woah. Woah? That’s not fair. You’re letting them win! K! You can’t!” Quinn whines out. He fights the thought of losing you.
“Three years. Kaliea. Three fucking years. I love you, you love me. Why does it matter what they think?” Quinn fusses.
“It hurts Quinn! They aren’t hating on you, are they? My fans support us! Your comments just hurt. Like this one. ‘She’s so ugly. He can do sm better even if it’s not me.’ Like seriously?” I cry out after reading off of several comments and tweets.
“That’s why you aren’t supposed to look at the comments!?” He toughened up. He looked down into my eyes.
My head starts to pound, I can hear my heartbeat in my ear, my foot starts to cramp from standing on it. Quinn and I sit in our kitchen. We fight over the situation.
~ end of flashback~
“So. Kaliea, you’re a worldwide treasure of a model AND actress. So how do you do it? Do you have a steady home back in LA? I mean you’re always on the go I suppose you just stay in airbnbs.” A reporter asked me. I’m walking into a hotel by myself. My bodyguard- Thomas shoved the reporter away and I walk ontop of the stairs taht lead into the hotel.
“Yes. I have a home. A beautiful one. Located in Vancouver. I mean currently in Vancouver, but we’ll see what happens. Especially because I am really always on the go. And Tatum and I just came back from holiday in Rome.” I wink and turn on my heel to walk into the glass doors that shut the paparazzi and my personal world.
“We might find a place in Rome!” I mouth back at the reporter. I wink and head up to my room.

q43xkk7 I hope she never brings Tatum to rome.
↪️reply to q43xkk7 kalxhughshipper wait. Why?
↪️reply to kalxhughshipper q43xkk7 so basically Rome is K’s fav place on earth and she brought Q there and that’s when they first launched their relationship. Just saying, If she brought Tat there. It means that she really is locked in on their relationship. (She thinks it’s gonna last longggg)
↪️ reply to q43xkk7 huggyandkkmay7_43 yeah AND imagine if you brought your current bf to YOUR place. Like the place you brought the ACTUAL love of ur life to, and imagine he had also been to that same beach that current bf is laughing and teasing you at
↪️ reply to q43xkk7 newsofkkmay777 💀 check the new spotting of kali. She said that her and tat just got back from a holiday in rome. 😪 how you holding up? I’m not well that’s for sure.

kkmayismommy43.7 tatum is literally a nobody. idk what happened between Quinn and her, but we miss them. I swear if they broke up bc of the hate she was getting… ITS ON SIGHT‼️
↪️ reply to kkmayismommy43.7 officialsupportkalieamay7🔵 yeah I agree, BUT isn’t this the same thing as hating on Kk when she was with Quinn but with Tatum instead? Kk became a model, and an actress, as she came from a “nobody.” It’s the fact ur saying the same sh!t people used to say abt kk when she was with Quinn, abt tatum. Grow up. It’s not your relationship. So stay out of it 🤗
↪️reply to officialsupportofkalieamay7 km7xqh43 DAYUM 🍛🧆🍽️ YOU NEED FOURTHS? YOU ATE UPP!! YOU STILL HUNGRY?! ITS THE FACT THIS CAME FROM THE OFFICIAL SUPPRORT ACC😭
~flashback~
“Quinn.” You sigh. You know what needs to be done.
“No. Kk. No. Kali, please. What if I find a random girl and she’s only here to cover our relationship.” Quinn suggested.
“No. Q. It’s not worth it. And if I’m with you, I rather be public. Let’s take a break for now. Okay?” Tears fall out of your eyes.
“Kaliea.” Quinn cries. Tears fall out if his eyes aswell.
“We can make it work!” Quinn begs. “No. Your right. Hockey, I need to-I need to focus.” Quinn comes to a realization and let me go. He gave me one last hug and kiss.
Your eyes start to burn. You feel the wierd numbness in your legs when you cry so hard that you can’t move anymore.
“I should go.” You walk to what used to be your room that you shared with Quinn for more than two years.
You packed everything. Your car was filled. You didn’t know where to drive. You couldn’t drive to New Jersey. I mean wierd, driving to your ex’s brother’s house after a breakup is weird. But Luke is your bestfriend, and of course so is Jack. Quinn was the ultimate bestfriend. Or what felt like it.

“Kaliea. Just stay. Stay for a night and we’ll figure it out. I can’t just let you go into the unknown. You’ll get lost if you just start driving on random roads that lead to random states.” Quinn leans into my car. He stands on the other side of my car door. The window rolled down,letting me be able to feel his body warmth one last time.
“Don’t.” I mumble. I roll my window up, shutting him out. I can hear him yelling at me through the window. I reverse out of the driveway. My home becomes distant. Leaving this safe neighborhood for the last time, is also leaving Quinn.
~end of flashback~
“I can’t anymore Kaliea. It’s always about Quinn.” Tatum fusses.
“I know how you feel. I was there once. I was a nobody when I was with Quinn. Just let the people talk, they don’t know you.” I reassured him. Obviously I felt that I neeed to leave. I know Tatum feels that way too.
“Kaliea. I just can’t.”
Against, Tatum is in LA.
“Are we gonna seriously do this over phone?” I laugh. I hold back my tears.
“yes. I’m done. WE are done. Kaliea I’m breaking up with you.” He hangs up. Instantly my eyes let my tears go. I feel this weird numb and stabbing pain in my stomach.

After Tatum broke up with Kaliea, the word had spread.
“So is life easier? How does it feel to be single again?” Reporter Johnson had asked.
“Who said I was single? It’s been a month since the breakup. I was a mess, o had someone to lean on. And I fell in love. Again.” I laughed, and I look into the crowd.
“kaliea! Kaliea!” The fans all shout in order for me to notice them.
I lock eyes with Quinn as I scan the crowd. I wink and the interview was over. I walk up to Quinn.
“It’s time.”
And we walked back to Quinn’s car together. Allowing the paparazzi and fans to see us, especially because Quinn was very handsy.
“Kaliea Ryland and Quinn Hughes back together!” Headings over all news outlets. All socials have influencers talking about their theories on your relationship with Quinn.
“I just know they love eachother.”
“They have a spark that no one else can connect.”
“If they breakup again, o don’t believe in love.”
