On January 12th, everyone is encouraged to find their favorite redhead and give them a peck on Kiss a Ginger Day.
Globally, less than 2% of people have red hair—however in Scotland, the portion of redheads falls somewhere between 6 to 13%. 
Some might think it’s because of the long line of Vikings whohave a rich heritage in Scotland, especially in the Highlands and Islands, but they say it is all down to science.
Those with crimson-colored hair have a sort of genetic superpower that allows them to produce their own vitamin D more efficiently. Absorbed through sunlight, vitamin D is essential for ensuring healthy bones, teeth, nervous system, and immune system. When redheads go outside, it takes a shorter amount of time and less sun exposure for them to begin to manufacture their own vitamin D. In places like Scotland where the climate is cold and gray, this ability gives them a genetic advantage compared to those with other hair colors.
Hundreds of years ago during the days of the Vikings, having red hair was actually an evolutionary edge for surviving long, cold winters. Because of this vitamin advantage, they would be less likely to have conditions like rickets as children and would be more likely to beat illnesses and have strong bones for bearing children. This natural strength helped them to survive and pass on their red-haired genes.
Recently, Scotland launched a DNA project to count all of the redheads in the country, and their research showed there are about 650,000 individuals—or about one in eight people. In addition, researchers estimate that as many as 1.6 million Scots carry the red-haired gene. In order for one to be born a natural redhead, both parents need to carry this recessive gene. Edinburgh boasts the highest concentration of red-haired gene carriers out of the entire world, making it the redhead capital of the globe.
I myself have been called ginger at times, although I have nothing agaiunst this I see myself as having fair hair, I probably do have the red-haired gene, my mum was blonde and my dad certainly had a bit of ginger in his hair, check my pics, what do you think?
Anyway the two Scottish gingers I wouldn't mind grabbing a smooch from are one from the past and one from the present, Deborah Kerr starred in a film with arguably one of the best kissing scenes in cinematic history, From here to Eternity, unfortunatley the 1953 film was shot in black & white, so you don't get the effect, the first gif is oor Deborah, and you must admit, she was a hottie. Secondly is Karen Gillan, what a bonnie lassie she is, and such a great character.
So come on, who is your fave ginger, I reckon I know the girls will be saying otwo or three, there are also a couple of other Scots actresses who are red heads, let me know, let'd have a wee bit fun!

Name / Alias: Vani Are you over 18? Yes / No Is your muse(s) over 18? Yes / No / Depends on the muse & verse When was your blog established? This blog was created at the end of 2022 and start of 2023. That's when I moved here! REPOST, DON'T REBLOG!
– W R I T I N G –
Are you selective about who you write with? No (anyone) / Semi (most people) / Yes (some people) / Highly (few people) / Private (mutuals only).
Life gets busy for me, I tend to also feel overwhelmed easily so I’d rather keep my circle small so I can provide everyone with a good RPing experience!
Are you selective about who you follow? No (anyone) / Semi (most people) / Yes (some people) / Highly (few people).
If your muse is canon, how much do you adhere to canon? Not at all / A little / Some / Mostly / Strictly / Not Applicable.
Star wars’ lore is MASSIVE... As a result, I try to learn more about it through bits and pieces, I choose what I feel like will work best for my interpretations then fill in the gaps however I feel like. Pokemon's lore is very chill, easy to digest and fun to play around with! Even if there isn't much for many characters, but I still try to stick with the timeline of events that most fans agrees with. Saint Seiya's lore is what I'm currently learning more about! So far, it's kinda of chill like Pokemon's but it is fun to think of, like it is with SW's.
What post lengths do you write? One-Liners / Single-Para / Multi-Para / Novella / All of the aforementioned.
One-liners are only for crack/dash shenanigans. Shorter responses work best for Discord RPs. But on tumblr, I have a huge preference for lengthier threads.
Do you use icons and/or GIFS? No / Gifs / Icons / Yes / Sometimes.
I used to love using icons, I had tons of fun with both iconing and making borders for them. BUT I've dropped them in favor of banners. ATP I got too many muses, and it'd drive me MAD to make them for each one of them. My banners are meant to fill in the void left by icons, and this way it challenges me to put more effort on my writing.
Do you write on other platforms? No / Yes
Discord, mutuals are welcomed to ask for it <;3
What level of plots do you write? Unplotted / Open-Ended Plots / Semi-Plotted / Fully Plotted Epics / All of the aforementioned
I have a huge preference for plotted stuff. Knowing the course of events and my partner’s muse makes things a lot easier for me, and overall it is a lot more enjoyable to me.
How quickly do you usually respond to threads? Very Slow (more than a month) / Slow (3-4 weeks) / Average (1-2 weeks) / Fast (less than one week) / Very Fast (less than three days)
It depends on the kind of thread & the size of it TBH. Usually speaking, I'm fast to get to RP responses, but I rely on my queue to deliver them. It helps me to space out RP responses, and manage the numbers of RP threads I have going. I can't stress enough how this method helps me SO MUCH, to prevent any form of burnouts. It may seem like I tend to respond faster to Discord rps, simply because the threads there tend to be shorter in size. But it is mainly due to the fact, there isn’t a queue system.
What types of themes do you like? Adventure / Romance / Fluff / ANGST / Violence / Tragedy / Domestic / Family / All of the aforementioned
WHAT GENRES DO YOU LIKE? ( Feel free to add! ) High Fantasy / Supernatural / Science Fiction / Historical / Horror / Comedy / Romantic / Drama / Action / Smut / Adventure / Espionage / All of the aforementioned
Are there any themes you’re uncomfortable writing on your blog? (Not triggers) No / Yes / Sometimes
Gore can leave me feeling ill, graphic descriptions of injuries/blood/etc can cause me to feel nauseous. Overall it is something, I'd rather avoid reading altogether. I'm also uncomfortable writing adult/minor and incestuous relationships.
Do you have any triggers? How do you request it tagged?
I have no triggers! But I would like that my mutuals tagged anything related to current world events/politics. I get how heated these subjects are to many people. However, I’m not an American, when I’m on my RP blogs I don’t want to see those things. Trust me, if I wanted to know more about it, I'd search for reputable sources of information. And not random blogs, that could be spreading misinformation or fear mongering, uninformed people. No one benefits from these types of situations. I've been in the RPC for many years, and this shit shouldn't be seen an acceptable way to behave online. Spoiler alert: You're not a grand savior, just bc you reblogged a post that had something to do, with whatever may be happening. Not everyone on Tumblr is from the US.
– S H I P P I N G –
What types of relationships are you open to?
Romantic / Platonic / Familial / All of the aforementioned
It all depends on the chemistry, and IC development. I’m extremely picky about platonic/familial relationships, due to having some really awful experiences with it in the past.
What types of pre-established relationships are you open to? Romantic / Platonic / Familial / All of the aforementioned
See the answer above. So long as we have managed to come up with something that works well for both muses, it’s all good for me.
Do you have OTPs? No / Chemistry Only / Yes
I do! My ship bias lists can be found on my muses about docs/pages!
Do you have NOTPS? No / Yes
They can be found on my muses about sections/docs as "ships I refuse to romantically write". These can range either for my own comfort, to me straight up not liking them.
What is your muse’s sexual orientation? Heterosexual / Heteroflexible / Bisexual / Pansexual / Homoflexible / Homosexual / Demisexual / Sapiosexual / Asexual / Still trying to figure it out / Depends on the muse you’re asking
See their infos
What is your muse’s romantic orientation? Heteroromantic / Heteroflexible / Biromantic / Homoflexible / Homoromantic / Panromantic / Demiromantic / Sapioromantic / Aromantic / Still trying to figure it out / Depends on the muse you’re asking
See their infos
Are you comfortable writing smut? No / Selectively / Yes
I have a NSFW side blog just for that, even though I haven’t used it in ages LMAO. I just have been preferring to write NSFW stuff on discord lately. With that said though, not all of my muses are open for it.
How early in a relationship do you ship romantically? Autoship / During plotting / After a couple IC interactions / Several IC interactions / Slow burn / Plot dependent / Never
Man it just happens.
Are you open to toxic ships? No / Selectively / Yes / I am not sure
With that said, I’m selective about who I’d write such subject. I personally, prefer doing this by myself. I’m not opposed to writing it with others, I just want to make sure nothing will be romanticized during the plotting/writing of such relationship. And due to a few bad apples in the past, I’ve become wary of giving others a shot at this.
Are you open to problematic ships?
No / Selectively / Yes / I am not sure
Bruh, anything can be considered problematic in this day & age, let's go grab some juice instead. I have ships where, a good chunk of their respective fandoms have labelled them as "problematic". But then when you look at my writing, I'm not writing the "problematic" things the fandom claims them to be as. In the end of the day, my followers and mutuals are highly encourged to curate their stay. This includes, blacklisting to their hearts' content. I feel like we as online fandoms have devolved so much, to a point you will likely find a mfer claiming how shipping in itself is problematic. As well as how you must be ashamed, to enjoy pairing fictional characters in general. Anyway hit me with whatever you want, and I’ll be the judge of what I want to write or not.
Are you open to polyshipping? No / Selectively / Yes / I am not sure
It depends on the muse you’re asking for. This is something that's more dependent on IC reasons, than OOC ones. Many of my muses wouldn't approve or be open, for a relationship like that.
Are you an exclusive shipper? Never / Sometimes / Yes / I would be open to discuss it
No, absolutely not. I’ve never had any luck with exclusivity, and after many failed attempts. i’ve come to the conclusion, it just isn’t for me.
Does crack shipping ever happen? Nope / Yes / depends / altho they gradually become normal ships
Stares @ all of my ships and sweats.

You know that Jake the dog gif from adventure time where he’s screaming and slamming his hands on the ground, that’s me currently.
Any way you’d do an alternate where their s/o’s manage to recover from their illness? It might ease the suffering slightly
Like s/o is permanently more fragile but they survived, it’d be nice to have the blorbos just stuck to your hip and forever grateful you’re alive
Yessss babe I love fix-it fics after angst. You got it! Here's a follow up to the angsty sick fic from here
🍓🍓🍓
Laventon:
Somehow, Blissey and the ice-types manage to break your fever. You're still frighteningly weak, but you're awake and alive and blinking up at Laventon's sobbing, screwed up face in confusion. You crack a joke at him, and he kisses the snot out of you, him catching the illness be damned (though Pesselle does shout at him for it)
For the rest of your recovery, he's practically in the bed with you. He's showing you old photographs, telling you tall tales of his expeditions. He cries as he talks about his unfortunate scar that he received and makes you croak out a laugh
You've been bedridden so long that it's hard to walk again. Laventon is right beside you, peppering you in kisses for every painful step you take. He keeps you in his office with him once you're cleared to leave the medicinal ward, showing off every nicknack he keeps packed in that room. He watches your health like a hawk as well, determine to not allow anything like this to happen again (he and Pesselle look into medicinal sciences and invent vaccines together for you woo!)
He is so grateful you're alive. He shudders to think of what he'd do if you hadn't made it. So, you're getting the loving of ten lifetimes from him. Every other word from his mouth is a declaration of how overjoyed and lucky he is to have you. What he doesn't say he expression through affection, hugs and kisses and caresses. You might not go back out into the field after this, not for a long while. Laventon is too nervous of your health. But it's okay. You need to recover, and you enjoy Laventon's affections, plus the ring he gives you a few days after you're coherence returns
All's well that end's well
Warden Ingo:
Through a miracle of your own making, you figure out a way to not puke up your medicine (in through your mouth, out through your nose people). It takes longer than Ingo would prefer, but your fever breaks and your energy starts to return. You sit up in bed, chat with him, laugh when Ingo fumbles with the kits trying to climb into bed with you (last thing he needs is you getting poisoned in such a delicate state). It's all so relieving that Ingo spends many nights crying into your neck while you sleep easier than you have in a month
Your recovery is monitored by him, so closely you almost feel uncomfortable with his hard stare. He reports every little nuanced thing you do to Calaba whenever she stops by to assess you. She gives him a look, but assures him you're on the upswing of your illness journey. He cries again whenever she tells him, poor thing
Nights with you are spent falling asleep to him practically waxing poetry about how proud he is of your strength, how thankful he is that you managed to beat your illness and stay with him. You kiss on him and praise his ability to take care of you, and he turns a cute shade of pink
You're spoiled during your recovery. Ingo fetches anything you want, does anything you want (within reason). He kisses the floor you walk on, just so relieved you're staying with him. He won't be alone, you're still here, and he plans to make sure you never get sick again. It's a tall order, impossible for one man to do, but your stamina is left stunted by the illness, so you're inclined to stay in within him anyway. A happy ending to the heart-wrenching ordeal.
Cyllene:
Abra teleports into her office mere moments before Pesselle is shouting for her. Cyllene bursts into the medicinal ward. You're still asleep, but Pesselle is at your side, eyes brimming with tears. You're fever broke, you're getting better. Cyllene won't admit, but she crumpled to her knees in relief, a few tears slipping through her defenses as she realizes you're going to be okay
Once you wake, she quietly greets you, thanks you for following her order. You joke that you fear her punishment for disobeying more than you fear death. You're lucky you're sick, else she'd smack you. It's true, but you don't have to say when Pesselle is right there and snorting.
Cyllene is surprisingly affectionate during your recovery. You get soft kisses and tender touches as you regain strength and awareness. She strokes your hair, brings you the Pokémon you miss, and helps you take your medicine or eat if you're too weak or shaky to handle it on your own. She's relieved and thankful that you're still alive. However, you're getting assigned paperwork duty with her once you're better enough to be working again. Complain all you like, it's not changing her mind, and Kamado is too afraid of her to defy her wishes. Tough luck
Once you're fully back to health, albeit still getting the stamina you used to have back, she takes you back into your shared home and sits you down. In full privacy, she admits to you how afraid she was while you were sick, her fears of you not making it, her relief when your fever broke. She kisses you, long and loving, and whispers to you that if you ever scare her like that again, and god forbid perish, she's meeting you in hell to kick your ass
You don't comment on her assumption you'd be in hell
Volo:
When you're fever breaks and your blearily ask him what the hell you drank last night, Volo finally fully believes that Arceus is looking out for you. He kisses your forehead, whispers for you to rest, and sits by your side. He prays to Arceus, giving his thanks and promises to not waste this miracle. He plans on giving you everything to make up for almost losing it all
He brings you gifts, artifacts from ancient ruins to strange items left behind by the spacetime rifts. He brings flowers and Pokémon too, anything that makes you smile.
He apologizes. Volo tells you that his cold nearly killed you, and he is so sorry for not being more careful. You quickly shut him up, however, because a) how could he have prevented this? it's an illness, it's practically unpreventable and b) it's not his fault your immune system is shit with the diseases here. Neither of you could've known! His guilt is not entirely resolved, but he does laugh at your argument, so it's a win
Once you recover, he brings you to the hidden alcove that Cogita lives in. There's another small home set up next to her house, perfectly sized for the both of you and your Pokémon. Volo tells you that he wants to settle down, no more crazy stunts for either of you. Nearly losing you made him realize how he was wasting precious time. And now he wants to remedy it. So, with a ring in hand, he asks if will you join him
🍓🍓🍓
We love it, we love fix-it fics, we love recovery we love angst with a happy ending!!

A Little Help ~ Part 2
Tumblr media
A/N : ikk ikk it's super late and apologize to those who asked for this months ago! I just started school and it's hard to write a lengthy fic in a cramped time. The GIF is not mine! Enjoyy~ PART 1 : https://bitchylandtyphoon.tumblr.com/post/657628055677894656/a-little-help
—————————————————❈————————————————
“Ok, so you have to add this number right here to solve the equation but you should try writing it all out if you want to memorize it, ok?” “Yess, thank you very much Y/N” You flash him a smile in return. You were currently at the familiar kitchen table teaching Paxton some advanced math formulas. Since Math was the most difficult for him you wanted to start with that. You were thinking about starting science next since you guys mostly covered Math throughout the past weeks. “So, Y/N do you...have a boyfriend?” Paxton asked attempting to avoid your eyes “Wh-what? Why does that peak your interest all of a sudden?” You asked, eyes wide.
“Well, I- just uh. It's nothing, forget about it.” You’ve never been so embarrassed before. “Do you want more juice or something? It’s been a while since you were here.” He was right, you were at Paxtons house for a good amount of time and you couldn't deny the fact that you were a little hungry. You would kill for a pizza or something. “Nah, I’m good thank-” Your stomach growled loudly making you cower in embarrassment. “Ok, maybe ill go for a sandwich or something.” “Don't worry about it, I’ll order some pizza” Paxton smiled as he reached for his phone. “Thanks,” you gave a thankful smile at him. “Anything specific you want or don’t want?” Paxton questioned as you were cleaning papers off of the kitchen table to make room for the food. “Uhh, no not really, I'm ok with whatever” You watched Paxton as he went into the living room leaving you alone in the kitchen. You spun around in the stool and you waited for his return. Trying not to make a lot of noise, you walked to the wall full of pictures. Throughout all the years you were friends with Rebecca you never took the time to look at these pictures carefully. You didn’t wanna roam around. You looked at each picture carefully trying to catch even the smallest details. You smiled as you saw the Yoshida family going on adventures and capturing the special moments they’ve had in their life, it was adorable and interesting at the same time. You couldn't help but smile when you saw pictures of Paxton and Rebecca when they were younger, in every one Paxton's smile was wide as an orange. He was so cute you couldn't stop yourself from giggling. It was sad that Paxton didn’t smile as much now, he looked nice when he smiled. “Pizza’s gonna be here in 20-ish mins, we can chill in the meantime” Paxton announced as he walked back into the kitchen. “Alright, thanks again,” you said as you looked at him. As you went back to observing the pictures you felt Paxton appear beside you. “You know, I can never understand why people love looking at these pictures every time they come over,” Paxton confessed as he scanned the pictures with you. “Maybe because you guys look so adorable and precious in these pictures” You glanced at Paxton before looking at the pictures again “it’s nice to see you guys getting along and smiling together.” Paxton sighed as he looked down at his shoes “The other day I was talking to my parents, and when I told them I had to raise my GPA, they couldn't believe that I could do it.” He looked back up “I don't even know if I can do it.” You looked at him sympathetically, you knew he was going through a tough time but he couldn't lose himself now. “Paxton, don't say that. You can do it, I know you can. You might not be the next Einstein but you’re a great athlete and a hard worker. You don't take shit from anyone and you’re your boss. I know that comment might've got to you, but don't let it man. You can do this” You put a hand on his shoulder and gave him a smile in which he returned as he mumbled a small thanks. “Now what do you say we ditch the books and game, you worked hard today” “Hell yeah!” —————————————————❈————————————————
“Heyyyy, that’s not fair moveee.” “Hell no, you’re already winning.” “Now that's just rude.” Going into a fit of laughter, you pushed Paxton’s hand away from your face to see the T.V better. The two of you were in the garage with an almost done pizza, soft drinks and dim lights. You watched Paxton in the corner of your eye, smiling at the happy Paxton beside you. You mentally sighed at how charming he looked. “Yes, let's go!” Paxton yelled as he stood up in victory. You laughed once again. “And why exactly weren’t you this excited when we were studying huh?” You teasingly asked as you arched your eyebrows and crossed your arms “that's just offensive sir” You said as you shook your head. “What can I say, school is not my thing,” Paxton said making you both chuckle and lay back on the couch. You couldn't blame him, school was hard and not exactly amusing. “And no, I don’t have a boyfriend,” you said as you put the controller down You could see Paxton give you a confused expression until he remembered his question from before. “Hm, do you like anyone?” Paxton cautiously questioned. “I mean, there are some people here and there but nothing too big.” you started tidying up your mess. “Plus, I wanna have a serious relationship, not some fling.” You hear Paxton hum, you hoped you didn’t hurt his feeling or anything, he did have a thing for flings and not the best relationships. “What about you, don’t you get chicks every other second?” He smirked at your comment “Yep, I deff get a lot of chicks but right now I don't think I'm in the mood for dating someone” You saw as his facial expression changed to a not-so-happy one. “Heyy, it’s great being single plus you get to work on yourself you know?” he flashed you a smile. You were surprised at how close you two were at first, you could feel his breathing on your face. You didn't realize how pretty his eyes were before, they were a mixture of golden honey and a dark green forest. His expensive cologne made you wanna melt. His features were so sharp you were sure they were sharper than a knife if only you could feel his perfect face. —————————————————❈———————————————— Paxton didn’t realize how gorgeous you were until now, your face was mere inches from his. His eyes scanned your dark/bright (E/C) eyes, they were so mysterious yet somehow kept on pulling him into you. Your lashes made your eyes seem bigger and gave you a cute innocent look. He glanced down to your soft lips every so often, the closeness of you two making it hard to resist the urge to kiss you right then. Moving his hand to your jaw he gently pulled you closer to him, his hands were rough yet he touched you as if you were fragile glass. He closed his eyes as he waited for the soft touch of lips. —————————————————❈————————————————
RINGGG RINGGGG Both of you jolted away from each other as your heard someone's phone ring. The two of yous being flustered and embarrassed tried to avoid eye contact as both scrambled for the ringing phone. “Hello?” Paxton stopped searching as he heard (Y/N)’s voice, assuming it was her phone that rang. “Yeah yeah, im coming sorry. We’re done anyway. Yeah ok bye.” turning your phone off, you looked back at Paxton who knew you had you leave. “It’s fine, ill uh get the rest of the homework done, you should mm go home since it’s late anyway,” Paxton said a little less flustered yet continued to avoid eye contact. “Ok then well uh, I'm uh gonna go now.” You headed for the door giving Paxton a quick “Bye” before quickly shutting it. Paxton let out the breath he was holding in. He grazed his lips with his fingers as he chuckled at the close call. He didn't know what to feel or think, he was just too shocked at the fact that he was so flustered from a kiss that didn't even happen. He smiled, shaking his head he laid back on the couch. —————————————————❈————————————————
You shut the door behind you as you began to speed walk as if your life depended on it. Well, your parents might kill you for coming home late but you would gladly off yourself for that spicy moment. You just couldn't wrap your finger around it, Paxton did say he wasn’t interested in anyone, yet he made a move on you. Just thinking about it brought the heat to your face. Coming to a brought stop you took a moment. “Ok (Y/N), calm down, it was nothing. Maybe he was just sleepy or drunk for all we know. Nothing happened and nothing ever will.” taking a few breathers you began to walk again. It was pretty scenery outside, the sun was setting making the sky look as if it was painted, the wind was gently blowing making the trees rattle. It was Pinterest-worthy scenery. In the back of your head you felt like you were forgetting something, you know you weren't, you had your phone, your bag- Shit, you forgot your bag. You groaned at how stupid you thought you were, you were already halfway home and it was getting dark and a bit cold. Plus your parents were already waiting for your arrival. Sighing, you had two options; either run back to Paxtons house and get the bag now or go tomorrow. Either option was bad since you had to encounter Paxton. You could've asked Rebeccas but if she knew about the whole close call kiss, she would never let you live peacefully again. Giving up you decided to continue walking home, it’s fine you thought, he’ll probably forget. HONK HONK you winced at the annoying sound, turning back you saw a familiar jeep slowing down near you. “Hey, uh you forgot your bag” Of course, it was Paxton, was the universe against you or something. Couldn’t it have been someone else? God this was embarrassing. At least you had your stuff now. “Thank you so much, Paxton, really” You opened the car door and reached for your bag about to take it out. “Get in I’ll give you a ride.” Paxton offered. You were surprised, considering you ruined a moment and he still wanted to talk to you. Not wanting to make things worse, you silently got in the jeep. The car ride was pretty awkward except for the music playing in the background, he turned it up every so often. Paxton didn't know what to say or do other than to keep driving. He wanted to say something but was too scared but it was just too awkward. he kept on turning the volume up and down when he wanted to say something. He couldn’t stop himself from staring at (Y/N), they look so beautiful and he couldn't stop thinking about them after the close call kiss. He glanced at them every so often, the way their hair blew in the wind, the way they nervously bit their lip, the way they looked outside with such awe made his stomach give him butterflies. “Anyways, hehe, thanks for the ride, make sure to do your homework and get some sleep. Goodnight Paxton.” You bid your farewells to Paxton “Goodnight (Y/N), and I will mom” He chuckled, as you were about to open the door, you looked back at Paxton in the eyes and gave him a short and sweet kiss on the cheek. quickly jumping out of the car and running to your home. Paxton was stuck in time, never once did he think (Y/N) would be the one to make a move. His cheeks flushed and he smiled, a big smile this time.

The people in your life with chronic illness are lying to you. 
It's ok though. I know we went through a movement of being open about your feelings and not always just saying "I'm fine." But your chronically ill friends probably tell you "I'm fine" when they aren't a lot anyway. 
In our society that culturally and medically likes to look at illness as curable, the truth of chronic illness's chronic-ness makes a lot of people uncomfortable. It’s hard to explain to people that you actually feel terrible, but nothing helps, and they can’t do anything to help, and I’m used to it. Most people don’t understand what it’s like to wake up in a body that is usually a little out of tune. They aren’t used to the idea that their body isn’t under their own control. 
So the truth, which is, "I have had a headache for a week and a half. It sucks. I'm frustrated and hurting. There's nothing you can do though, and I probably won't feel better tomorrow, because I have no idea what's causing it, but that's normal for me," doesn't accomplish much. 
And sympathy can sometimes just feel like one more weight on our shoulders, especially we have to lift the emotional weight of explaining to someone that science still doesn't know what causes my symptoms and my illness won't really ever go away, so this is normal. Plus, sympathy often comes with suggestions that can be exhausting themselves (yes, I've tried taking Advil and yoga and sleep). 
So sometimes, "I'm fine," is a lie, but that's ok. If you want to go the extra step to help your chronic illness friends, pushing into their feelings or giving them suggestions doesn't have to be the answer. But you can surprise them with a cup of coffee, or give them a little extra space if they run late to something, or remind them of something you think they might have forgotten, or just send them some cute ass animal gifs.

Forever... Is a long time pt.2
This is long and smutty so 18+ only
Part 1 here
How gorg is Lita in this gif omg
Tumblr media
Adam had no idea how Christan could be late this consistently. Every night he was somehow late, even when they rode to the arena together,  he was late. He was talking to the Hardy's when he finally appeared, Adam was fully ready to give him a piece of his mind before he saw who was with him. It was her, the girl he thought of so often, Christian’s baby sister.
“Sorry guys, her flight came in late” Christian explained. Adam wasn’t really listening, it felt like time had stopped and all he could focus on was her. She hadn’t changed much since he last saw her, that beautiful night when he finally had what he wanted. Then immediately screwed it up by never speaking to her again. He couldn’t take his eyes off her, she was even more stunning than he remembered.
“Adam?” Her voice finally pulled him back to reality. He shook his head to clear his thoughts, going in to hug her.
“Hey, look at you! All grown up!” He chuckled, ignoring the strange looks from his friends. She laughed as she hugged him back tightly.
Christian introduced her to the Hardys, she had clearly caught Matt’s eye, much to Adam’s dismay. She easily fell into conversation with them all, as if she had always been there. It felt like no time at all until the boys were pulled away for their match, leaving her to watch on a monitor backstage.
After the show, they ended up at some bar Adam had never heard of before. The brother’s kept getting her endless drinks, Matt especially. He seemed to have all of her attention, it made Adam’s blood boil. He was sat at the other side of the table, maybe he was sulking but he wouldn’t admit it. Matt finally left her alone as someone else walked into the bar. She slid herself into the booth next to him.
“Why the long face?” She asked. Her soft eyes made his jealousy begin to melt away. Not that he would ever be jealous of Matt Hardy of all people.
“Just a long day, nothing to worry yourself about” He replied, offering her an unconvincing smile. She glanced at her brother who was enthralled in a conversation with the youngest Hardy.
“Are we still friends?” She blurted out.
“What? Of course we are, why wouldn’t we be?” He said
“Everything that happened before you left, you didn’t call... I guess I just thought that you got what you wanted” She sighed. He could see the insecurity on her face, everything in him wanted to scoop her into his arms and make it go away.
“No! No, of course not. I’m sorry it seemed like that” He said quickly “I just had so much stuff going on”
Finally, she felt like she could relax. Ever since she saw Adam she had been on edge, he looked almost ill when he saw her. Matt and Jeff had been a nice distraction but she knew eventually she had to break the ice. They fell into conversation like they hadn’t missed a beat. Maybe they were a little closer than two people who were just friends should be, but no one seemed to be paying attention to them.
Matt was watching them carefully from the bar, he knew from the moment he saw them together that there was something between them. Did he flirt a little bit to test his theory? It was just good science. They were lucky that Christian was too drunk to notice how they looked at each other. He decided to just leave them to it and turned back to the bar.
Christian had never been a good drinker. Unfortunately, he was also terrible at saying no to a drink. That was how you and Adam ended up dragging him back to the hotel. Adam was propping him up with Christian’s arm around his shoulder. She walked next to them carrying Christian’s jacket. He was chattering away but not making much sense. Finally, they managed to get him up the hotel room and shoved him into bed.
“You want to come back to my room? Something tells me he isn’t going to be great company” She offered, glancing over at her very passed out brother. She knew it probably wasn’t a good idea, what this would lead to. But they had had such a good night, why stop now?
They barely got in the door before he was all over her. His lips smashed into hers in a passionate kiss, his hands cupping her face. She let out a soft moan and pushed herself closer to him.
“Fuck I missed you” She said breathlessly when they broke away. He grinned at her before leaning in again.
She managed to maneuver them over to the bed before shimmying out of her dress. He lay on the bed mesmerised by her, completely forgetting about undressing himself. She straddled his hips and began kissing at his neck, his hands went to her hips to try and control himself. He couldn’t help but buck his hips up towards her. That was when he looked at her thigh.
“You got a tattoo?!” He practically moaned out. It was her turn to smirk at him as she pushed her hips in towards his.
“Yeah, it’s cute isn’t it?”
“It’s fucking hot”
He finally got his jeans off and fumbled in his pocket for a condom. She unclasped her bra while he struggled with the foil. Once he had got it on, he returned to her, bringing her in for another kiss. It wasn’t long before she was on top of him again, lowering herself onto him. They both moaned at the beautiful sensation. He wanted to give her time to adjust to him but he couldn’t stop himself from thrusting into her. His hands guided her hips down to his as she sucked marks into his neck. He moved one arm to hold her to his chest.
“Missed you so much, missed this so much” He mumbled into her hair.
Adam would probably blame how fast he finished on the booze but he knew it was mainly her. He had fantasised about her so many times, it was everything he dreamed of. Once they cleaned up, they fell back into bed. She rested her head on his chest as his fingers played with her hair.
“I meant it you know. I really did miss you” His voice was barely above a whisper. They were both silent for a moment, both afraid of spoiling the moment. 
“What do we do now? I don’t think just being friends works for me anymore” She confessed. He reached over to cradle her head, pressing his lips to her forehead.
“We can be more than friends, see how it goes ”he replied, slightly nervously. 
Adam knew how he felt about her, he had always known, ever since they were kids. He would do anything in the world to make this work. She knew that this was where she belonged, in his arms. Hundreds of questions about the relationship ran through her head but she ignored them for now. For now, everything she wanted was right there in that bed.

least favorite thing about them
he's pretty selfish man, hope he grows out of it when he's in a safer environment
favorite line
so... with a character like wheatley... its impossible to have merely ONE favorite line hsjshd here are some of mine:
"For god's sake, you're BOXES with LEGS!"
"Butterfingers!"
also all of the lines in chapter 5 where hes being so considerate and supportive, like telling chell to be careful, to not jump over the big gap until he can light it for her, saying ooh nicely done after a successful jump aGHH 🥺
"You—d'aughh, you just solved it, didn't you? I-I told you to tell, to tell me before... Nnngh! Why are making this so HARD for me?"
"May the best sphere win. Swap that in. Much more clever. Books."
honestly, just anything that comes out of his voice box is my favorite line

OTP
chell. theyre the pacemaker to my heart
nOTP
none
random headcanon
he dislikes being watched while hacking because it reminds him of the scrutinizing stares the scientists gave him in between jotting things down in their little science notebooks. it makes him nervous and when hes nervous he screws things up.
unpopular opinion
lol one of these days im gonna get cancelled for my unpopular opinions. uhhh. i dont think hes a moron? like, I genuinely dont think hes a moron. hes not stupid. hes pretty smart when he puts his mind to it. it's just that the 9999999 hes spent in aperture ostracized and alone has kind of messed with his sanity a little. and hes been bullied and reduced by people all his life that he believes it and tries to prove everyone and himself otherwise by doing over-the-top, stupid things. and hes usually not very good at thinking things through and hes very distracted. but he is able to come up with good plans, even if the details get a little lost. hes an adhd king. not a stupid moron. im passionate about this.

You said the dictator was immortal. You’ve been jumping into clones’ bodies to stay alive. Until your mother’s triad slaughtered all of them and destroyed the science I needed to generate more. But... soon such hurdles will all be a moot point.
[Image Description: Seven stacked gifs from Roswell, New Mexico.
Jones: Well, I knew you couldn’t resist the urge to walk the path of your grandmother. Her sense of honor would be your siren song. All I had to do was tell you how important that was to me, and let your ill-fated good nature do the rest. Besides, why fight when I can just stroll up and see all this? Isobel: Why is this science so important to you? What does it have to do with Max? Jones: Back on our home world, there were a lot of Maxes. The model you have shouldn’t even exist. Which makes him all the more a miracle. Unlike the others, he’s more than just a vessel for me. It’s, uh... It’s a little tight, but they definitely saved the best for last.]

Chapter Fifteen
Unsurprisingly, things were tense the next morning
Javier was up before you but that wasn’t out of the ordinary. Although considering it was a quarter past seven you wondered how much sleep the man could’ve gotten. What was surprising was that you woke alone.
Then you ate breakfast together in silence. Moved about your 400 square foot studio in silence. Worked across the dining table grading papers in silence.
Javier was never an overly talkative person but that was unlike him. It was unlike the two of you. You knew there were things from his past that troubled him. Things you couldn’t even begin to imagine. The longer you’d known him, the more time you spent together, the more you felt his sadness. But he seemed determined to hide it from you.
However, you couldn’t dwell on it. Not until you’d finished grading exams and assigned final grades and could put the fall quarter behind you. With a Monday deadline, work came first.
Eventually, Javier finished his grading. He gathered his things to go home and dress for the faculty party that evening, leaving you with just a kiss on your cheek and a promise to pick you up at six. You hummed noncommittally as you watched him leave.
Sunny whined at the closed door before looking over her shoulder at you with a silent question in her wide brown eyes. “I don’t know what’s wrong either,” you answered with a shrug. She laid down where she was, head on her paws and a rather sad expression of her face.
… . …
By some miracle, you were able to focus long enough to finish your grading with enough time to spare to get ready for a night out. At 5:58 you walked out of your building into the dark evening and found Javier waiting for you at the bottom of the stoop. It was a chilly night and you pulled your wool coat tighter around you as you closed the last bit of distance between the two of you. For the first time that day, as he held his hand out to you, he smiled. It was nothing more than a slight pull at the corner of his lips, but it was something.
You took his hand and let him lead you toward his car. When he reached into his coat pocket, presumably in search of his keys, he pulled out a half-finished pack of Nicorette. He tossed it in a nearby trash can.
“Why did you do that?” you asked without thinking.
He shrugged as he unlocked the car and opened the passenger door for you. “I don’t need it.”
You made no move to get in. “I thought you were trying to quit.”
“I… I did.”
“Really?” you asked, not bothering to hide your excitement.
“I haven’t needed it for a couple of weeks now actually.”
 “Javi, that’s amazing,” you smiled as you brought him to you for a kiss by the lapels of his coat. “I’m so proud of you.”
 He chuckled, shaking his head. “You’re proud of me?”
 “Yeah,” you said easily. He still didn’t seem to believe you. You continued tentatively, afraid you might say the wrong thing but needing to say something all the same. “Sometimes I just– I feel like I don’t actually know that much about you. Or, I should say, about your past. And I don’t need to know anything more than what you want to tell me,” you added quickly. “But I see you. I see you trying to be a better man. Everyday.” Your hands moved on their own accord to cup his freshly shaved cheeks. “I’m proud of you. Even if you think it’s silly.”
“I–” Javier opened his mouth to speak, but he couldn’t manage more than that single syllable.
Instead, he stared at you. You might’ve crossed some unspoken line, but you didn’t care. You’d meant everything that you said. His eyes shifted away as he stared at something past you for a drawn-out moment. “Come here,” he finally managed, and he pulled you into his embrace. The two of you held each other in the middle of the sidewalk, letting the few people out and about walk around you. “You’re too good for me, compañera.”
“I know,” you teased, trying to lighten the mood. His fingers dug into your sides and you laughed. “Are we going to talk about what happened last night?”
He sighed heavily. “I’d rather have one good night with you before I leave. I’m not going to see you for more than two weeks.”
Deciding not to question it, you put it out of your mind. Maybe what happened was a one off. Still, you pulled back and scowled at him. “Then stop being such a….”
“An asshole?”
“Exactly.”
He huffed a laugh and rolled his eyes but nodded his agreement. “I’m sorry,” he mumbled as he pressed a kiss to your temple.
“You gonna make it up to me?”
 “Yeah. Yeah, I’ve got plans for you tonight.”
A chill shot down your spine at the insinuation. “Good,” you smirked, “so do I.”
… . …
The country club was only a short drive past the university and up into the hills amongst rows of gated mansions. Slipping out of the car before the valet approached, you darted in ahead of Javier. The bubble that the two of you were living in still didn’t extend to work, not entirely. Not beyond fucking in your offices and occasionally brushing hands under the table at faculty meetings.
Inside, the already gilded ballroom was draped in silver and gold holiday decorations from ceiling to floor. Every inch sparkled and shone in the chandelier light. Your colleagues from across the school of social sciences crowed the hall, all dressed to the nines with glasses of champagne and hors-d’œuvre topped with caviar in their hands.
You politely made your rounds before you found yourself conversing with Debra by the bar as you waited for a cocktail. She was her usual gossipy self, going on and on about the latest office drama. That was when you first spotted Javier amongst the crowd.
He wore a well-fitted black suit – one that was significantly more flattering than some of his older ones and you idly wondered if it was new – with a white shirt, forgoing a tie so that his tanned chest was still exposed, even on a winter night. His dark hair was styled just enough to keep it off his face. Even from across the room, you could see the glimmer in his warm brown eyes as he chatted away with someone. You were surprised when he walked right up to Rafael Garcia, one of the younger professors from the political science department. You watched as they shook hands and he was introduced to his wife, noting the genuine smile on his face.
“We just started seeing each other a couple of weeks ago but it’s going well so far. I really like him.” Deb’s voice brought you back to the present.
“That’s nice,” you replied absentmindedly.
“What about you, doc?”
“What? Oh, no. I don’t have time for something like that.” You waved her off, but your eyes still followed Javier across the room. You tried to ignore the heat pooling in your stomach.
“That’s a shame.” Debra looked out at the crowd and sighed. “He never flirts with me. Not anymore, at least.”
“Your new boyfriend?”
“No,” she laughed and smacked your shoulder playfully. “Javier,” she answered, lowering her voice.
You couldn’t help but roll your eyes. Although you hoped it wasn’t that obvious who you’d been looking at. “You say that like it’s a bad thing. And don’t you have a boyfriend?”
“Sure, but Javier was always fun to flirt with. It certainly made work more interesting. You know,” she took a sip of her martini, “the two of you seem awfully friendly lately. I thought you hated him.”
“I do,” you answered quickly.
“Well, don’t let Dr. Campbell hear you speak ill about his favorite lecturer.” She raised her brows over her class as the department chair approached the two of you. You stifled a sigh.
… . …
Javier sipped at his drink as he listened to Sofia Garcia regal him with the story of how she met her husband. He’d hardly spoken to the man before than night, but after five minutes with his loquacious wife, he felt like he knew his whole life story.
“I played on the Mexican women’s national team for a few years after college until I injured my knee. But it was a blessing. I was offered a coaching position here a week later and by the end of my first season we were engaged.” She held up her left hand where a modest diamond sat on her ring finger. “That was nearly fifteen years ago. Now he’s the only one who plays soccer.”
“Yeah,” Rafael scoffed, “I play in an adult league with my cousin and some old college friends. That hardly counts. She’s the real athlete.” He looked fondly on his wife who beamed back at him. Even Javier had to admit they made a handsome couple. And it had nothing to do with his expensive looking suit or her champagne dress. It was something about the way they looked at each other. they were easily better conversationalists than most of the people in that room. You weren’t kidding when you said academics only knew how to talk about journal articles and research funding. “You ever play, Peña? We’re actually looking for one more.”
Javier shook his head. “I played when I was a kid but that was a long fucking time ago.”
“Don’t worry, man, it’s not that serious. We drink the whole game. All you gotta do is pay for the keg when it’s your turn.”
Javier laughed, surprised by his answer. “I could get on board with that.”
The conversation moved on, but Javier was only half aware of whatever question he was being asked. Just over Rafael’s shoulder, he caught sight of you. With a red dress with thin straps draped across your form that left everything and nothing to the imagination, you looked… alluring.
“Hey, uh, you look like you could use a refill,” Rafael commented, pointing toward the bar where you were standing.
“Yeah,” Javier nodded, “I’ll catch you later. Nice meeting you, Sofia.”
“I hope to see you around, Javier.” She smiled kindly at him, but Javier was already on the move, swiftly cutting through the crowd as he contemplated the ways that he could get you alone.
“Whiskey. Dry,” he ordered, leaning against the bar next to you.
“How are you enjoying the evening, Professor Peña?” Debra simpered.
“Much better now that I’m talking to you lovely ladies,” he answered without missing a beat.
On cue, Debra’s whole face flushed bright red.
“I’ll have you know I’m spoken for now. Your charm won’t work on me anymore.”
“That’s too bad.” His eyes slid to you. And then up and down your body. “What about you, sweetheart?” He offered you the perfect set up on a silver platter. And you took it.
“Not in your wildest dreams, Peña,” you shot back. His lips quirked as he repressed a smile.
“Don’t you two ever get tired of antagonizing each other?” Debra scoffed before traipsing off. He was hoping that would work.
The bartender placed Javier’s drink on the counter and then he turned back to you, still admiring your dress. Now that he was near you, he noticed the fabric was a soft red velvet he wanted nothing more than to get his hands on.
“You looked like you were enjoying your conversation with Rafael.”
“He does some interesting work on South American politics,” he offered distractedly, his eyes snapped back up to yours. “I probably shouldn’t ask you to dance.”
You reeled back a little, as if the question surprised you. “Probably not. That might ruin the whole facade of me hating you.” He made a sour face as he looked at his glass in his hand, swirling the amber liquid a few times. “I wouldn’t have taken you for the dancing type, Javi.”
He grinned. “I love dancing.”
“You never take me dancing.”
“Fucking shame. I’m gonna start.” You beamed at him, uncaring, just for a moment, who saw. It was a smile nothing short of dazzling. He took a step closer. “You look stunning.”
“You drove me here.”
“I thought you were stunning then too. But you were wearing a coat and I didn’t get to see this.” He ran the back of his knuckles down the fabric of your dress just over that sensitive spot on your side he liked so much. “You were right. This is definitely worth it.”
“What if I told you there’s more,” you said unaffectedly, feigning interest in your empty glass. The mischievous look in your eyes when they met his confused expression gave you away. Gently, you brought his hand to your thigh, just under the hem of your dress, and his fingers instantly hooked around the strap of the garter belt holding your sheer stockings in place.
“Holy fuck,” he whispered. “Are you trying to kill me?”
“What a way to go,” you cooed. His hand traveled up the strap to the apex of your thighs where he found little more than a thin piece of lace below the belt. “Careful,” you warned him, pushing his hand away.
Turning so that his body pinned you between him and the bar top and shielded you from the rest of your colleagues, he grasped your hand and brought it to the front of his pants “Can you feel what you do to me?” he said against the shell of your ear.
“That’s what I was hoping for.” Your smile was absolutely wicked.
“Do you have any idea how fucking hard it is not to kiss you right now?”
“Yes.” You squeezed him through his trousers. Javier might’ve looked remarkably calm, but he knew you felt his reaction. He steeled himself as he finished his drink and set the glass on the counter behind you.
“Follow me.”
… . …
Keeping a few steps behind him, you followed Javier back to the front of the club. You assumed he was leading you out to the car but apparently, he had something else in mind. He swung open the door to the coat check, since abandoned by the clerk now that all the guests had arrived and the party was in full swing. With some idea of what he had in mind, you hoped no one was inclined to leave early.
His mouth was on yours in an instant and as soon as the door was shut, you were pressed up against it.
“The coat closet at the holiday work party?” you asked in between fevered kisses. “Isn’t that a little cliché?”
“Honey,” he murmured against your neck as his lips moved lower and lower, “I know for a fact it turns you on when we fuck in public.”
His hand slipped underneath your dress again, following the same path as earlier, and he pressed his fingers against the lace covering your cunt, now soaked with your arousal. He pulled away to raise a brow at you, daring you to contradict him.
Instead, you palmed him again, finding him harder than before. “I’m not the only one,” you shot back. With your eyes locked on his, you dropped to your knees to loosen his belt and unbutton his trousers. Then you leaned forward to slowly pull the zip down – with your teeth.
“Fuck me” he gasped around a ragged exhale, his hips automatically bucking toward you. He watched you, wide-eyed and slack-jawed, before he hauled you to your feet with a hand on either arm. “Fucking dirty girl.”
“Wanna be your dirty girl, Javi,” you sighed, batting your lashes at him. You wanted him unraveled and unrestrained.
“Yeah?” he asked with a hint of excitement in his voice, and you nodded, satisfied with the response you’d gotten from him. Before you realized what he was doing, he spun you around and hiked your skirt up over your ass, letting it bunch around your waist.
“Hey, be careful. This dress is vintage.”
He just laughed against your ear. “You should’ve thought of that before you started this.” With one hand on your hip to hold you up, he kicked each of your ankles to prompt you to spread your legs before hooking a finger under the band of your thong and sliding them to the side. “Damn,” he growled when his fingers met your wet cunt. “I think you’re ready for me.”
“I was ready for you the moment I saw you tonight,” you answered truthfully.  
You felt his grin as he kissed the nape of your neck. He freed his cock and ran the tip through your folds. You knew better than to tell him not to tease you. That was part of it. That was what he enjoyed. He wanted you so strung out by the time he slipped inside you that you were already a mess and he knew just how to get you there. And that was exactly where you wanted to go.
He started to press inside you, slowly stretching you around him with each inch, and you delighted in the slight burn. Usually, he spent more time preparing you, but there was no time for that. Not when you were just hoping to finish fucking each other before someone came to collect their belongings.
You were wet and ready for him, but you were unable to stop the yelp that escaped you as he pushed in a little further.
“Quiet,” he snapped. Then, softly, he asked, “are you okay?”
You nodded. “It just takes a minute sometimes. You’re so big, Javi.” You felt him twitch inside you.
“You take me so well. This cunt was made for me.” Your ego burned bright at his praise and he slid in a bit more as you relaxed around him.
He held you, gently caressing you while you adjusted in what you assumed was a merciful act of patience. When you were ready, you rolled your hips to encourage him.
“Keep – shit – keep doing that. Feels so good on my dick.” You could imagine the debauched look on his face. You reveled in it even though you couldn’t see him. He reached around you to cup your pussy, fingers rubbing against your clit and following your movements as you circled your hips. You moaned in unison.
But it wasn’t enough. Not for you. Not for Javier.
“Hold on to something.”
His warning came just a moment too late. With a gasp, you fell forward clawing at the coats in front of you and fisting an expensive looking black peacoat in hopes of staying upright as he set a brutal pace. “Oh, fuck yes!” you whined.
“Are you even trying to stay quiet?” Javier hissed.
“Yes,” you replied weakly.
“Fucking liar.” You heard the smirk.
The hand playing with your clit moved to your mouth and he slipped two fingers past your lips. It effectively muffled your noises of pleasure as he pulled you down hard on his cock with every thrust. The only sound was the wet noise of him sliding in and out of your slick cunt and the slap of your stocking-covered thighs as they bounced against his. You felt that delicious pressure deep in your belly, right between your thighs, building steadily.
Until you heard a noise just outside the door and the two of you froze.
Without pulling out of you, Javier held you to his chest. As if that would somehow help. You could feel his heart beating against your back just as your own threatened to break through your ribs. Two sets of wide eyes watched the doorknob, waiting for any sign that someone on the other side was about to turn it. You held your breath as you listened carefully to the low voices murmuring, unable to tell who they belonged to or what they were saying. It was like they were hovering just outside the door. Taunting you.
Just as you were about to suggest redressing and making a run for it, Javier started moving in and out of you as a torturously slow pace. Despite the voices nearby, a small whimper escaped you. He shushed you gently. “Quiet, baby,” he whispered.
“But–”
“You wanted this.”
“Javi­–”
“You wouldn’t have worn this” –he fingered the garter belt– “if you didn’t want to end up just like this.”
He was right, of course.
“What if–”
“I’m not going to let that happen.” You had no idea what he thought he was going to do if someone did catch the two of you, but he seemed confident enough for the both of you. Coupled with the easy rock of his hips, you relaxed into his hold. The truth was, as much as you liked the freedom of your home, you missed this. This thrill that you trusted only him to give you.
As soon as the conversation faded away, he resumed his previous pace, punching the air right out of your lungs.
“Yes! Don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop,” you chanted, forgetting the precarious situation you were in only moments ago. The coil in your belly tightened as you neared your crest, and you could tell by his less than precise movements that Javier just as close. And then, right as you were about to fall apart on his cock–
Javier pulled out and spun you back around in one swift movement. Before you even knew what was happening, he yanked down your panties and came all over you. Jaw dropping, you watched him work his length until every last drop was on you. White spurts of cum marked you and pooled in the black lace, already dripping down your thighs to the tops of your stockings. You placed a hand on either of his shoulders to steady yourself as your legs threatened to give out under you and stared down at the mess. Somehow, you were more turned on than before. You felt like you would actually combust from arousal. He held your panties in place for a moment, admiring his work, before letting the elastic snap against your skin and drawing your attention upward.
His breaths were jagged, stuttering and uneven. His head tilted back, and he looked down his nose at you with dark eyes that shone with something feral. Something sacrilegious. He was flushed and panting but a smirk tugged on his lips as he tucked his cock away and belted his pants. “You said you wanted to be my dirty girl.”
You swore you could feel your last brain cell short-circuiting. You were hyperaware of the errant drop sliding down your thighs, but you couldn’t look away from him. “Always,” you promised quietly.
You kissed him with everything you had. Javier took it greedily.
“You’re so good for me. Letting me cum all over you,” he said breathlessly, still kissing you. “I want you to keep it all in your panties so that while you’re out there talking to those pretentious professors you can feel my cum between your legs. Okay?” You nodded and he graciously straightened your dress, letting it fall over your messy thighs. “You first.”
“But I didn’t–”
“Only good girls get to cum,” he replied quickly, apparently knowing exactly what you were going to say.
“Javi,” you scolded breathlessly and pointlessly, “I– I am your good girl.”
“Not tonight. You can’t keep quiet. Do you want everyone we work with to know I’m fucking you in this god damn coat closet?” You shook your head. “Don’t worry, honey, this was just foreplay. I’m not done with you yet. Tonight, I’m gonna make you cum so fucking hard you’re screaming my name at the top of your lungs. I can’t do that here, but I can get you ready.”
Your head buzzed.
Some filthy part of you liked that he’d cum all over you. That he wanted to do that to you. You didn’t even need to cum because it’d felt that good. And you knew by the look in his eyes that he planned on making up for leaving you wanting, for making a mess of you. You instinctively understood that this was part of it. That even greater pleasure waited for you if you could just be patient and... and trust him. And you did trust him. You knew he would take care of you.  
If this was going to be your last night together for weeks — after hardly spending a night apart the last month and a half — then this was just the start.
“Okay,” you agreed. “But you’re a fucking tease, Javier Peña.”
He laughed with genuine mirth in his eyes. “You started it.”
“I’ll finish it,” you promised.
“I’m looking forward to that.”
You hesitated, teasing your bottom lip with your teeth. “Do we really have to go back out there?”
“It would be rude to leave so early.” You knew he didn’t care about staying. He was just tormenting you, playing a fucked-up game that had your head spinning like crazy. “But don’t worry. Eventually, I’ll take you home and fill you up. Just the way you like it. Now be a good girl” he said with a swat on your ass, “and go out first.”
Feeling defiant, you turned around and planted a kiss on his neck, purposefully leaving a smudge of red lipstick on his crisp white collar.
“Are you trying to get me in trouble?”
“Maybe I do want everyone to know your mine.”
He wiped away the lipstick he smeared when he stuck his fingers in your mouth with the pad of his thumb. “You know. That’s all I care about.”
… . …
The two of you didn’t make it another hour. Fifty-two minutes to be exact. Javier knew because he kept checking his watch only to decide that time had crept to a halt. He wanted nothing more than to take you home and finish what he’d started. Every time he glanced at you across the room, he found you squirming as you tried to keep a straight face while chatting with some colleague, and he had to look away and recompose himself.
It hadn’t been his intention to leave you wet and wanting and covered in his cum. It’d just happened in the heat of the moment. Some wild idea that he’d decided to act on. But you… you’d liked it. And so did Javier.
In reality, fifty-two minutes wasn’t that long, but it was enough time to suck up to the school’s dean. If Javier was going to be put on display as his prized lecturer for the year, he’d make him listen to him in return. Even if he had to turn up the fake charm to a ten in front of a group of wealthy alumni.
“Here she is now,” Javier said, taking a hold of your elbow as you passed by, physically dragging you into the conversation. You shot him a confused look, but he just smiled at the dean.
“Ah, yes, professor,” Dean Dalton started, “It would seem you’ve made quite the impression on Agent Peña.”
Javier elected to ignore his choice of title.
“Really? I wasn’t aware.” You glanced at him out of the corner of your eye, but he could tell you were happy.
“I’ve had the privilege of reading a few chapters of her upcoming book,” Javier explained. “Trust me, you’ll want to see what she’s planning next.”
“As luck would have it, I’ve been talking to a few of our more generous donors tonight. Perhaps we should meet when classes resume to discuss how the school might be able to help your research.” The dean clinked his glass against yours and ambled off.
“What did you just do?” you asked, disbelief lacing your voice.
“I told you I would help you.”
“Oh my God… thank you,” you said softly. You stared at him for a long moment and he just held your gaze. “Will you take you home now?”
“Yes.”
Without wasting another second, you turned on your heel and headed toward the entrance. He followed eagerly. “Wait.” You stopped suddenly and his chest hit your back. You peered at him over your shoulder. “Don’t forget our tradition.”
He quirked a brow in silent question and your eyes flicked to the bar in response. It clicked. “Got it,” he said with a grin. He swiped the first bottle of champagne he could reach. Something so expensive he couldn’t even imagine the price tag. Something neither of you could ever afford on an academic salary.
… . …
Javier drove with one hand on the steering wheel and the other resting on your knee, drawing circles on your thigh over the sheer material covering your skin. Late on a chilly December night, the streets were empty, and the drive was easy. The city was unusually peaceful.
“I still can’t believe you pulled that off,” you murmured dreamily. He squeezed your knee in response.
A few minutes later, he’d stopped at a light when you quietly said his name. He turned to you and found you staring at him. You looked relaxed and happy. “I didn’t get a chance to tell you how handsome you look tonight. All dressed up for me,” you offered sweetly. “You’re absolutely breathtaking.”
“How much did you have to drink?” he deflected.
“One drink hours ago. Nice try, but I’m sober.” You laughed but your teasing tone gave way to something softer. “You really are the most beautiful man.”
In his periphery, the light changed, bathed the inside of the car in a bright green light. He couldn’t tear his eyes away from your beautiful face. Not when such an open, vulnerable sincerity graced your features.
“The light’s green,” you whispered.
“I know.”
A small smile broke out on your face.
… . …
Behind you, Javier trailed soft, lazy kisses along the slope of your neck as he slowly unzipped your dress, letting it hang loose around you. Your eyes fluttered shut as he smoothed his hands down your exposed back, thumbs gently digging into your flesh to massage your tired muscles. Every kiss, every touch, stoked the fire he’d ignited inside you hours ago.
“Let it fall,” he murmured against your skin. You slipped the straps over your shoulders and the fabric pooled at your feet. Then you reached for the clasp of your bra. “Leave it. I’ll take it off when I want to.” You bit back a devilish smile as he continued his ministrations. His lips followed his hands down your spine, and you gasped when he placed a kiss on the small of your back.
“Can’t decide how I want you first,” he mused.
“I want your mouth on me.”
He kneaded the flesh of your ass as he placed the lightest kiss on one cheek. “It is.”
“Not there.”
At your complaint, he snapped the garter belt strap so it stung against your flesh. But a firm hand on your back urged you forward until you were kneeling on the bed and he mouthed your cunt through the lace. “Here?” he asked, voice muffled.
“Yes,” you moaned, desperate for more.
“Maybe I should clean the mess I made on your pussy.” Without waiting for an answer, he pulled the fabric away and sealed his mouth over your hot, wet core, drawing an inarticulate slew of curses from you.
Hands gripping the backs of your thighs right at the tops of your stockings, he alternated between sucking on your clit, teasing the little bundle of nerves between his lips, and fucking you with his tongue. The constantly changing pressure was as intoxicating as it was frustrating — it was never enough but plenty to keep you hovering right on the cusp.
Until he finally – finally – gave you what you needed most.
Holding a steady pace as he flicked his tongue over your clit, Javier pushed you right over the edge.
Unable to breath, unable to move, unable to even think, you sobbed, cunt still pulsing around nothing, when he unceremoniously flipped you over and entered you. He slid into your dripping heat easily. And somehow, your first orgasm rolled right into the second as his cock struck something magic inside you, sparking a whole new wave of pleasure.
“You can’t stop coming, can you?” he asked, grunting as he pounded into you.
It just kept going. And going. Wave after wave relentlessly rolling through you. Unceasing in the best way imaginable. Javier knew your body so fucking well. He was the only one who knew how to do this to you. “No,” you mewled deliriously, body still shaking under him.
He thumbed away a tear rolling down your cheek. You hadn’t even realized you were crying. His hand left your face to knead a lace covered breast. “You look so fucking hot.”
“Fuck me harder, Javi.”
He pulled out all the way and your hips lifted, chasing him, but he pushed your knees to your chest and shouldered between your legs. “You’re not going to be able to walk when I’m done with you.”
“Good. I wanna feel you for days.” you said, ignoring the pang in your heart that told you that you were going to miss him.
“Fuck,” he spat. Your cunt drenched his cock as he slipped back inside, and your breath hitched as he hit deeper at the new angle.
“Right there!” you cried, arching up against him, “oh, God, right there!”
“One more. Give me one more,” Javier demanded, lacing your fingers together and pining your hands above your head, “But not until I tell you.”
You nodded eagerly, happy to give him whatever he wanted. “I get to tell you when too. Please, Javi.”
“Whatever you want baby. You fucking earned it.”
He kept slamming into you and every stroke of his cock rubbed against your inner walls perfectly. You swore you could almost feel every ridge and every vein of his thick length as he fucked you. Your third orgasm was tantalizingly within reach. You just needed his blessing, and you’d break.
“Alright, baby,” he panted as he rocked his hips against yours, grinding his pelvis against your clit, “cum all over my cock.”
Just like that, that tight coil inside you he’d been winding up all night snapped, and you came for a third time with a wanton cry. His name tumbled from your lips repeatedly as your body writhed beneath him, cunt spasming around his cock.
“I need to cum,” he ground out, voice cutting through the haze of pleasure.
“Ask me nicely,” you teased when your senses had returned to you just enough that you decided it was your turn to play with Javier. You wanted it to be just as good for him as he made it for you.
“Please.”
“No.”
“Please.”
“No.”
“Baby, please.” Javier’s broken words trembling around the edges as he begged you. His brown eyes, eclipsed by his dilated pupils and wet around the edges, stared deeply into yours and you almost gave in.
“Don’t stop.”
He made a desperate sound but kept going, snapping his hips against yours harder and harder.
“Almost there, Javi. You’re doing so good for me,” you praised, encouraging him. His jaw clenched and you kissed his neck, sucking hard on the straining muscles. His hands gripped yours so tight it hurt, and his face screwed up as he panted with each thrust. “You can cum for me, Javi. Fill me up.”
His lips crashed against yours in a desperate gratitude, and his hips stuttered as he came hard. He gasped for breath even as your mouths moved messily together. His cock twitched inside you as he painted your cunt like you’d been patiently waiting for all evening, until his body gave out and he collapsed on top of you, still locked in an embrace.
“Was that good for you?” you asked. When you didn’t get an answer, you prodded his side. He startled, eyes suddenly blinking up at you.
“What?”
“I asked if that was good for you?”
“Yeah. Yeah, that was... it’s always good with you but that was...” He trailed off and you thought he might’ve actually fallen asleep on you. “I’ve never cum so hard in my life. I think I fucking blacked out.”
“I didn’t know my pussy was that good.”
“Are you kidding me? I fucking love your pussy.” He was positively beaming at you. He cursed with a sigh as he laid his head back on your chest and you threaded your fingers through his damp locks, holding him close while you could.
… . …
You sat half in Javier’s lap in the middle of your bed, sheets strewn about from your previous activities, both completely naked but freshly showered. He moved his mouth against yours, tasting you, drinking you in until he was as lightheaded from your kisses as from the champagne. His hands roamed your body, touching you for no real reason other than to memorize your gentle curves. One hand cupped a breast and the other squeezed your hip, both moving slowly until they met to cradle your face.
He pulled away to look at you. No fancy dress, no jewelry, no make-up. Just you.
“Still stunning,” he whispered.
You smiled softly and pressed your lips to the bridge of his nose. “Still handsome,” you countered. Chills erupted across his skin, but you mistook his reaction. “Come here.” you pulled the blankets up as you settled back against the headboard. He followed, swiping the bottle of champagne off the nightstand. Without bothering with glasses, surely a disservice to something so expensive, he took a swig and handed it to you. It was bubbly and light and perfect for the evening.
“You never told me what you’re doing for the holidays.”
“Oh, nothing much,” you responded as you took the bottle from him. “Bev’s family celebrates Christmas. They always do gifts with the kids in the morning but then her mom and in-laws and whoever else in the family is around go over for a big dinner. She insists I come to keep her sane. Her mom and mother-in-law don’t exactly get along.”
“What about New Year’s?”
You took a long pull before sighing. “Well, I usually spend the night with Sunny watching old movies and drinking too much wine.” Your face pinched. “That sounds much sadder when I say it out loud.”
“You don’t mind being alone?”
“It’s been this way for years now.” You smiled, a rueful thing. “I’m used to it. I’m usually so tired after the quarter ends that I don’t mind the time alone.” You tried to brush it off, but he could hear the sadness in your voice.
“You could–” Javier stopped himself. “You could call. Anytime. I’ll give you my dad’s home number so you can reach me.”
That time your smile reached your eyes, crinkling the corners as you looked away bashfully. “That’s really sweet of you.” You reached for his hand and added, “I’ll call you at midnight in Laredo.”
“We’ll talk until midnight in Los Angeles.”
You curled up next to him before Javier could decipher your expression.
When he felt your breathing even out, surely sated from the sex and exhausted after the quarter, he pried the bottle from your grasp. He finished the last bit before setting it aside and switching off the lamp, careful not to disturb you.
Javier held you close, not unlike the way you’d held him the night before. He knew he needed to get his shit together. He didn’t want you to see that part of him. He needed to protect you from his past. But he didn’t know how to do that when he couldn’t even protect himself.
He flicked off the light and hoped for a peaceful sleep.
… . …
The first thing you noticed when you woke up the next morning was the dark bruise that you’d sucked onto Javier’s neck the night before. You ran your fingertips over it, outwardly cringing but inwardly, well, preening. This time it had been you who left those little love bites on his neck.
“Did you mark me?” he asked, his voice barely more than a quiet rumble. “Fucking felt that last night.”
“I didn’t mean to,” you answered, looking up at him as innocently as possible.
“Don’t lie to me,” he grumbled as his eyes blinked open. “You were a woman determined last night.”
“Why didn’t you stop me?”
“I liked it,” he grinned, but it faded quickly. “I forgot I was going home today. My dad’s picking me up at the airport.”
“Oh shit,” you laughed, burying your face against his chest.
“Don’t laugh. That’s not funny.”
“Maybe you should try buttoning your shirt like a normal person for once.”
In one smooth movement, he flipped you over and caged you beneath him. “You’re pushing your luck,” he tried to warn, but the grin on his face and the glint in his eyes betrayed him.
“What time is your flight?” you asked, soothing a hand across his face.
“One.” He glanced over at the clock. “It’s ten now.”
You wondered, just for a moment, if he would stay with you if you asked him to. If he would pass the holidays with you so you wouldn’t have to be alone. But that was foolish. And more than a little selfish. He had his family to go home to.
“You should probably go.”
“Yeah,” he sighed, “I should.”
He eased his hold on you but made no move to leave. Not until he’d placed a kiss on your lips and one on your forehead in a gentle goodbye.

Summary: Y/N is an astronomer with her head constantly in the stars. But when a serial killer is threatening NASA’s top scientists, she is left in the protective custody of a man who’s gravitational pull threatens to pull her back down to earth.
A.N Unedited because i’m sleepy. There’s a fic I read when I first joined the fandom that inspired some of this chapter. i can’t remember the name but if you do, please tell me so I can credit. Comment on this chapter only or message to be on taglist please.
                             Chapter 5: Saturn 
There was a rare occurrence that happens sometimes in Space where a Planet will tilt off its axis and disrupt the order of things in the galaxy forever. Even though it hasn’t happened yet, it doesn't make it not possible. You had always thought about that phenomenon and how you never quite understood how so many scientists just blindly believed in that possibility with no proof. It wasn’t until that dance with Spencer that you believed in it. If you were the galaxy, that dance was the tilt in your axis. 
Nothing could quite be the same again. 
It seemed that Spencer himself was the disruptor. 
Since that day, everything between the two of you was different. It was simpler. It was too easy to have conversations, to laugh at each other's jokes, to spit inane useless facts at each other. But it also became too easy to melt at Spencer’s bright smile, too easy to stare at his hands as he helped you with your math sometimes, too easy to flush whenever he paid you a compliment on your work. 
Too easy to fall in love with him. 
You didn’t want to think about that but you couldn’t help it. At first, you wanted to chalk it up to you not knowing how to differentiate your feelings. Maybe you just thought you were in love with him because he was the first guy to be nice to you since Jonathan but as the days went on you knew that to not be the case. None of this felt like how you were with Jonathan. With Spencer, it just felt easy. Just felt right. 
It was the weekend so you had off work. Before you would always end up going into work anyway and getting some extra logs in but now you liked staying in and hanging out with Spencer. Right now the two of you were walking in the plaza near your home, fresh cups of coffee in hand. Spencer, at first, did not want to be out but after some convincing (which was just you threatening to leave without him, which he did not like) he was all for joining you out. The two of you stopped in a bookstore and you made a beeline for the astrology section. You hear Spencer scoff when you pick up a book to look through it. You raise an eyebrow at him. 
“What?” You say. 
“Astrology, really? Aren’t you a scientist?” 
“Yea, an astronomer. I love Space, so while Astrology isn’t a proven science. It’s fun to think the stars have a say in what kinda person you are.” You shrug. “When’s your birthday?” 
“October 28th.” 
“Of course you’re a Scorpio.” 
“That doesn’t mean anything to me. Astrology isn’t real.” 
“You must be real fun at parties.” You roll your eyes. 
“Well, what’s your sign?” 
“I’m a Cancer. Did you know that water signs are the most compatible? Especially Scorpios and Cancers.” 
Spencer laughs out loud at that. You turn looking him in the eye. “What’s funny?” you say. 
“That itself doesn’t tell you that astrology is bullshit?” He laughs. You narrow your eyes at him. “I mean, us, compatible? It’s funny.” 
You try. You try so very hard not to look hurt by his words, you know Spencer’s a profiler and will see right through it. And he does by the sympathetic look he gives you. 
“You’re right, maybe it is bullshit.” You say, putting the book down instantly. “Let’s go home.” 
You and Spencer don’t talk the whole walk home, in fact you don’t talk when you get there. You’re about to just retreat to your room when you feel a hand circle your wrist. 
“I’m sorry.” He says. 
“You didn’t do anything.” 
“I hurt your feelings.” He says. 
“You didn’t hurt my feelings.” You lied. “I’m just with you all the time. Sometimes I just need a minute alone. Is that okay?” 
He lets go of your wrist. “Of course, I’m sorry.” 
You nod and retreat to your room, blowing a heavy breath as you fell into your bed. Might as well take a nap. You thought as you let sleep take you over. 
-----------------------------------------------------
Long, slender fingers found their way into your hair and yanked roughly. You couldn’t help the soft whimper that came behind it. You felt the lips that were sucking hard bruising marks into your neck smirk slightly. His other hand trailed your body lightly until they met their final destination at your sex. You gasp loudly when the digit rubbed soft circles around your clit. 
“Are you going to be good for me?” He asked, you nodded dumbly before moaning out loud when the first digit found its way inside you. Spencer smirked at you. “Look at you. I’ve barely touched you and you’re this wet for me. You want me to fuck you, don’t you?” He asked, you nodded and gasped again as he found that spot inside you. “Hmm, I don’t think you want it enough baby.”   
You’re shaking your head immediately. “No. Ple-please fuck me.” You stutter. “I’ll be good, I swear.” 
The smirk he gives you is almost devilish. “Alright, baby. I’ll take care of you.” He says as you feel member pressing up against your sex--
You wake up to the smell of something burning and Spencer shouting expletives from what you assumed was the kitchen. You groaned, frustratedly. Since that day your mom came to visit, you dreamed of Spencer almost constantly. Today was no different. You couldn’t escape him in your waking hours and now it seemed you couldn’t even escape him sleeping. 
You hop out of bed and run to the kitchen. The sight before is Spencer frantically waving the billowing smoke that was coming from your oven. You run to open your window and turn the oven fan on. You both look at the pan that had something that couldn’t even be described as food anymore by the degree of which it was burned. Spencer looked at you guiltily. 
“You seemed upset so I thought I’d make you dinner but I was reading and I lost track of time. I’m sorry, Y/N.” 
You smile at him. “Thank you for thinking of me but I wanted chinese tonight anyway, sound good?”  You say, he nods gratefully. 
Later the two of you are sitting at your kitchen table, eating chinese out of the takeaway containers. You were talking about nothing and everything until the topic came to College. You talked about how freshman year you did the whole partying thing before quickly finding out it wasn’t your scene and keeping to yourself for the rest of your college career. Spencer told you he never went to any parties in college. 
“You never went to any parties?!” You asked, shocked.
“Well, I was 12. No one was really scrambling to invite me to frat parties.” 
“So you didn’t do any traditional college games? No beer pong? No ‘Never Have I Ever’?” You ask, Spencer shakes his head. That’s when you get a fantastic idea. You get up and look in the cabinet above your stove which is where you kept your liquor and pulled out a bottle of Jameson. Spencer sees this and immediately shakes his head. 
“No.” 
“Aww, come on. Let’s play Never Have I Ever.” You smile. “If you’ve done the thing you drink.” 
“I don’t want to play a remedial drinking game.” 
You think for a second. “How about this? You’re a profiler, right? And I like to think I’m a little observant so how about this. We’ll take turns making assumptions about the other if the person is right, the other drinks and if they’re wrong, you drink.” 
“I don’t know… it probably isn’t wise for me to be drinking. I’m supposed to be watching you.” 
“It’s not like we go anywhere that’s not here anyway.” You say. “Plus, if you're good at your job, you’ll hardly have to drink.” You throw a pouty face on for good measure. Spencer rolls his eyes. 
“Fine.” He says standing up and snatching the bottle from you, walking to the living room. You giggle at him before grabbing two glasses to follow him out. “Just so you know, it’s wrong to peer pressure people.” He says. 
“Well, what’s a college drinking game without peer pressure.” You laugh. 
------------------------------------------------- 
“Who’s starting?” You say as you watch Spencer pour your glass. The two of you are settled on opposite ends of your small couch, facing each other, your knees just almost touching. 
“You can.” Spencer says. “I want to see if you're actually observant.” 
“Okay.” You say, sitting up slightly at the challenge. “You’re an only child.” You say. Spencer raises his eyebrows at you, shocked you actually got something right, but drinks anyway. 
Spencer looks at you for a second. “You have an older sibling you are not close to.” 
You drank. “Yea I’ve got an adoptive older brother. There’s nothing wrong, it’s just he was already much older when I was born and we have nothing in common, other than our parents.” You look at Spencer for a second. “I wanna say divorced parents, but only raised by one.” 
“You’re a lot more observant than I thought.” Spencer says as he drinks. “Dad left when I was 10.” He says offhandedly. 
The game goes like this for a while, both of you confirming your beliefs of each other. You find out about Spencer’s mother's illness, Spencer learning you smoke when you’re stressed. Spencer was winning though, not that you had a problem with that as you wanted to drink, hence why you suggested the game. You were giving him a little bit of a run for his money. It was now your turn and the alcohol in your system must’ve turned off your filter because you say. 
“You’re a virgin.” 
You pause for a second waiting for him to drink when you realize he’s waiting on you to. You widen your eyes in shock but take your drink anyway. “I thought Maeve died before you got to meet her fully.” 
Spencer nods. “She did.” He says, “The two don’t correlate.” He says, like it's obvious. 
You hadn’t been expecting that. “You just didn’t strike as the hit it and quit it type.” 
“And I’m not, but sometimes things are just temporary.” He says looking at you, deeply in your eyes. “You were upset today, in the shop because I said we weren’t compatible.”  
You solemnly take a drink. “Why?” He asks. 
“Hey, that’s not a part of the game.” You say. 
“Please?” He adds. 
You sigh. “I don’t know… I guess, it seemed like the idea of being with me repulsed you. And that was upsetting.” 
Spencer looks at you with the most intense look in his eye. You had never seen that look before and you were glad you hadn’t because it was so heated that it was melting you where you sat. “The idea of being with you…” He says, eyes flickering down to your lips and back to your eyes. “Doesn’t repulse me. Trust me.” 
You knew you weren’t the best at social cues sometimes but that seemed like a pretty big one. You move closer to him, so that your faces were close but someone would still have to make that final move. You realize it’s your turn, so you think, Fuck it...  
“You want to kiss me right now.” You say, looking Spencer in his eyes. He doesn’t say anything, just takes a slow swig from his glass, eyes never leaving yours. He sits his glass down on the table next to him before saying. 
“You want me to kiss you.” 
You sip your drink, looking him right back in the eyes. You sit your glass down next to his and Spencer's hand catches your wrist on its way back. Before you can even get a good look at him, his lips are crashing on to yours. You groan in surprise before melting into it, your hands immediately going for his hair. His massive hands almost engulf your face as he tries to pull you impossibly close to him. He groans as he licks into your mouth, both of you tasting like the Jameson you had just drunk but there was also something under it that was just pure Spencer. You push him back until you are fully seated in his lap. His hands go immediately to your waist. Feeling risky, you experimentally grind your hips, causing Spencer to groan and grip you tighter. His hands slide up your shirt slightly, you moan at that. 
“Fuck-” Spencer says as you suck bruises down his neck. “Fuck, w-we’ve gotta stop.” 
You pull back. “Why?” you ask. 
Spencer swallows, pushing you off his lap. “There’s this thing called transference. You only want me right now because I’m protecting you. You don’t like me.” He says. “We don’t like each other.” 
You realized what Spencer was trying to say. You were both drunk and there, he didn’t really want you. It was being stuck together for so long that was making him attracted to you. You were foolish to think a guy would actually want you. 
“You don’t like me.” You say. “And I read this situation wrong again. God, I’m an idiot!”  
“I didn’t say that, Y/N-” 
“No, you’re right. You only kissed me because I’m what you’ve been stuck with for weeks. You don’t like me. I can’t blame you no guy ever does.” 
“No, Y/N, I just didn’t want to take advan--” 
“I need to smoke. I’m going out.” You say, grabbing. “Alone.” 
“Y/N, that’s not safe and you know it. Let me go with you.” 
“I think we both need to be away from each other. I’ll only be out front. Please.” You plead to him. 
  Spencer doesn’t say anything so you take that as your cue to go. You pull your pack and lighter out the kitchen draw and stomp out the door. As soon as you get in front of the building, you light the first cigarette as stray tears fall down your face. You were such an idiot to think someone like Spencer would want you. Sure you were both smart but you were arrogant and spiteful. Spencer was the sweetest person ever when you got to know him. It was stupid to think there was a world the two of you would work. 
You frustratedly put your cigarette out and stand to head back inside to probably embarrass yourself some more when you feel it. 
The hard slam to the back of your head knocking you out cold.

Restless Rewatch: The Untamed Episode 17 second part
(Masterpost) (Previous Post) (Pinboard)
Warning: Spoilers for All 50 Episodes!!
Tumblr media
Breaking Good
Wen Qing comes to visit Wen Ning in their backyard meth lab, and tells him that he fucked up a recipe, merely by taking a whiff of the concoction. She uses the approved "wave fumes toward self" way of smelling that you learn in high school science if you live in a country that believes in teaching science, which OP does not.
Tumblr media
Wen Ning wants to know if they are going to have a feud, and she tells him there already is one. She tells explains to him that they're good Wens, not evil Wens, and that Jiang Cheng is fucked, and they should send the Jiangs away in the morning before Wen Chao comes around. 
Tumblr media
Wen Ning whines at her about all of this, shifting into little-brother persona and acting like he didn't just take down 40 of Wen Chao's soldiers in a single night. He does this same persona shifting in his later unlife, with Wei Wuxian. When there is trouble, he's extremely effective, and can even tail WWX and Lan Wangji without getting caught, but then he is hopeless when dealing with turnips or children. 
Here, it seems like a version of Wei Wuxian's own little-brother persona, in which he pretends to be helpless so that his sister can take care of him.
#studyblr
Wei Wuxian comes into Wen Qing's head shop to ask her for medical books. He loves his brother so much he's volunteering for a research project. We've seen him be clever before; we've seen circumstantial evidence that he's a good student, but now we're going to see him actually buckling down and doing intellectual work.
Tumblr media
Wen Qing thinks its hopeless and wants Wei Wuxian to get some rest. But he gives her puppydog eyes, so she sets him up in her library.
Wei Wuxian reads a huge pile of medical books and learns interesting things about the human body.   
Tumblr media
(more after the cut)
Hopefully he does not splotch ink all over them while he holds this wet brush directly over the page. Why does he even have a brush in his hand? Is he taking notes in the margin? 
Tumblr media
Wen Qing eventually tells him to take a break and go see Jiang Yanli.
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Jiang Yanli is tending to Jiang Cheng, gently telling him to suck it up by citing their father, which is probably not the greatest idea. 
Yanli's wearing dark blue with white and looks awesome.  It's not Gusu Lan blue, but the blue and white is an interesting choice for the excruciating heart to heart they're about to have.  
Tumblr media
Wei Wuxian shows up looking terrible, or the Xiao Zhan version of terrible, i.e. handsome and a little scruffy. But also worn out, unhappy, and fragile.
Tumblr media
Jiang Yanli wants him to rest, but he wants to find a way to repair Jiang Cheng's core, and his mind races, trying to think of where he can get books and who can help him. His thoughts instantly go to Cloud Recesses and Lan Wangji. His face lights up at the thought that Lan Wangji will help him, and he hops up, ready to dash off and find him.
The first time I watched this I was like, dude yes you’re in love, but you can’t just dash off to find Lan Wangji, not when there’s a war on.  This time I was like, actually wow things would turn out a whole lot better if you got Lan Wangji to help you, instead of coming up with your own plan.
Mother Mother Can You Tell Me
Jiang Yanli tells him to slow his roll.  He's pushing himself too hard and she's afraid he will collapse. Then Wei Wuxian comes out and says what's driving him: maybe all these disasters are his fault.
Tumblr media
It's telling, I think, that he cites Madame Yu, not Jiang Cheng, in this moment, even though Jiang Cheng has blamed him much more thoroughly and consistently. He's talking about one mother figure, to another mother figure, and looking for absolution.
Tumblr media
He super does not get what he's looking for.
Jiang Yanli slowly lets go of him and goes the fuck off. She asks, rhetorically, what he's to blame for, and then lists off all of the shit that's happened.  She finishes up by saying, look at our situation; blaming won't help anything. 
Tumblr media
It's unclear, because language/translation, if her answer is "it doesn't matter who's to blame" I.E. "yes, it's your fault, but I'm letting it go" or if she is saying "how does blaming yourself help anything?" I.E. "it's not your fault, stop being a drama llama."
Her body language, though, seems pretty blameful - she lets go of him, yells at him, sits down and turns away from him.  And his reaction is not one of shared grief, or of someone who is trying to get over himself; he's totally crushed, and he literally never unburdens himself to her again.  Even when he asks her, much later, about love, he immediately backs out of the conversation. 
Tumblr media
There is no violence in this moment and her reaction is understandable, but this is kind of similar to that one time when his brother choked him in a beautiful field of grass, in order to make himself feel better. 
Tumblr media
Then she kind of relents and takes his hand, telling him that she needs him and reminding him that he promised that they will go back to Lotus Pier. I don't remember him promising this, but okay. 
Tumblr media
He puts his head on her lap and he cries, she cries, comatose Jiang Cheng cries; FUCK this episode.  
Tumblr media
Jiang Cheng manages to cry only one tear and does it on the side of his face that his siblings can't see because he's not going to give them the satisfaction of sharing this moment with him, I guess.
Tumblr media
When Wei Wuxian puts his head on Jiang Yanli's lap, it's part of a ritual for them, that they both are comforted by; he does it again much later, after they return to Lotus Pier. But this ritual does not actually do anything to relieve his burdens. As a male adult, and the only Jiang Clan disciple with any abilities, it falls to him to save the clan, whatever it takes, and he is heavily aware of it.
Wen Qing comes along and sees the sweet part of this complicated Shijie-Shidi dynamic, and decides to help with Wei Wuxian's research project. When the trio had just lost their parents, gotten sick, been pursued by enemies, & had one of Yanli's little brothers horribly wounded, Wen Qing was like, eh, I'll do the doctor stuff but that's it. But lap-crying is another level. 
Tumblr media
Wen Qing: Nooo don't put your head on her knees I failed my saving throw
Group Project
Wen Qing goes and cleans up the mess in the library, putting everything in order and settling in to read systematically. Wen Qing probably has the prettiest bullet journal. (OP looks proudly at the 100 loose slips of paper and piles of random stuff on her own desk)
Tumblr media
Wei Wuxian has shaved and rested and comes in with a tray of food for Wen Qing, and then goes to his table in the back to start working. He claims he made "porridge" for her and that she has to eat to gain strength, and she gives him an intrigued expression.  This moment is just blatant het baiting.  
Tumblr media
In fact the food he brings her is clearly not porridge, which might just be a translation error, but also he totally can't cook, so it's not clear if he's joking and Yanli or Wen Ning made the food, or if this is just inedible.
The Things We Do For Love
Yanli is working in the meth lab and coughing a lot. Yanli's chronic illness is a sign of what's to come for Wei Wuxian, because strong cultivators don't get sick. Yet Yanli, as a physically vulnerable person, who has either a weak golden core, or none, is still intrinsically valuable.  Her presence in this scene is a reminder that Jiang Cheng's life is not, actually, over; he just feels like it is.
Tumblr media
While Yanli cooks the meth, Wei Wuxian and Wen Qing have a study montage that is the equivalent of a training montage, except without "Eye of the Tiger" on the soundtrack.
Tumblr media
Jiang Cheng remains unconscious. Apparently if you stick nails in the top of someone's head, you make them sleep, and in the back of their head, you turn them into part of your zombie army. Fortunately Wen Qing's aim is good. Jiang Cheng is looking devastatingly handsome as usual the TV version of unwell, and has grown a perfect Dorito-chip of stubble on his chin to go with his new 'stache.
Tumblr media
Eventually Wei Wuxian changes back into his non-vampire robe and he finds the answer in an old scroll book. The Ikea instruction picture shows arrows going from the guy on the left to the guy on the right.  Clearly it's not a great procedure for the guy on the left.
Tumblr media
Wei Wuxian's face shows us exactly how not great. 
Tumblr media
Like walking in the rain and the snow and there’s no place to go and you’re feeling like a part of you is dying
He goes outside and gazes up at the trees and the sky as he contemplates the sacrifice that circumstance is forcing on him. He's not even making a choice at this point; his choice was made the moment he found the procedure. But it's going to be a tremendous loss for him. He values sword cultivation at least as much as Jiang Cheng does; he even fell in love with a boy over crossed swords. So he sits and just kind of comes to terms with this new understanding of his future. (Big gifs here)
Tumblr media
Wen Qing finds him sitting, stunned, on the porch. She doesn't know what's up so she just sits quietly with him until he's ready to tell her.
Tumblr media
She doesn't love the plan.  
Thunder, Th-th-thunder
Tumblr media
Wen Ning is bringing food up when he sees them arguing, and he is startled by situationally appropriate thunder and lightning. Having recently watched The Lost Tomb Reboot I've come to expect thunder and lighting to appear on cue in any possible situation, so the fact that this mini-storm clears right up again doesn't bother me.
Tumblr media
What About You?
Wen Ning dashes inside to see what Mom and Dad are fighting about. They're having a polite shouting match because Wen Qing refuses to yank out Wei Wuxian's core. 
Tumblr media
Wen Qing: I hate the idea of harming you Wei Wuxian: I don’t even understand that sentence
Tumblr media
Wei Wuxian doesn’t, of course, feel that he is important in any way, and ignores her concerned and appalled expressions in favor of telling her to just do it anyway. Amazingly, this does not convince her. 
Tumblr media
OP’s 177cm-tall son keeps telling her this
Then Wei Wuxian plays the "you know Jiang Cheng" card, which...I guess she does? Maybe he was chatting her up more than we saw in Cloud Recesses? He hasn't given her the comb or anything yet. Wei Wuxian explains that Jiang Cheng cares about gain and loss, and cultivation is his life. If he can only be ordinary the rest of his life will be ruined.
Wen Qing asks the question that nobody ever asks him: What about you? 
Wei Wuxian has literally nothing to say to that, possibly because the question is so new to him. 
Tumblr media
Wen Ning doesn't know what's going on but comes squarely in on team Wei, of course, and begs his sister to Do The Thing.  How fucking horrified is Wen Ning going to be when he learns what The Thing is? What he is personally going to help do to his beloved friend? Yikes.   
Tumblr media
Wen Qing caves, warning them that the chance of success is only 50 percent. Wei Wuxian is happy to take those odds.
Tumblr media
Lan Wangji, projecting his voice from Episode 46: fifty percent, are you fucking kidding me?
Soundtrack: 1. Mother Mother by Tracy Bonham 2. The Things We Do For Love by 10cc 3. Thunder by Imagine Dragons

for the ask thing: blossom, glow :)
also for the ask thing: captivate i meant to include it in the other ask sorry
no worries !!!! hehe
blossom; favorite book/movie/song?
oh shit thats hard. favorite movie is one of my little pony: equestria girls: rainbow rocks or my little pony: equestria girls: friendship games though. if you couldnt tell. i dont even post about them because ill die if i think about them too hard
glow; list the top 5 things you like about yourself
>:3
programming my little tools for glitch art (a general glitch art tool, then the painting ants simulator, then currently my gif editor that lets me directly edit the compressed data while leaving the file structure in place. i hope that makes sense)
also drawing little thumbnails. i fell off drawing for a long time but i would like to get back in there
also also! i obviously like programming a lot but specifically the part of figuring out how to deal with the problem. cutting it into just doing it. i like it very much when there's a code base and a designated list of problems that i can add to and then just deal with it. i am very disappointed when the list is empty :(
hair :)
i can coo.o loudly. favorite thing to do in any given situation
captivate: what is something you’re passionate about?
programming obviously :). kind of magical to be able to make little programs that do anything i want with fancy math. kind of insane to have this entire field of science that's very recent and always changing and too intrincate for a single person to hope to consider themself a master of it as a whole. just a whole bunch of interconnected systems that somehow manage to communicate and more or less work together.
my favorite fun fact is that, on windows, if you try to use separate audio and user interface libraries, you might not be able to easily have audio and drag-and-drop support at the same time, because windows requires you to initialize your app in single thread for drag-and-drop and multithread for audio, and you can't do both at once (there are workarounds obviously)
