More Dain Stuff

So I'm still thinking about Dain and more so, who he might end the story with.

Now, I'm 98.9% sure Violet will stick with Xaden. Not saying it couldn't be interesting if, after the whole Venin thing and their already rocky relationship they broke up, but at the same time that's not how romance novels are written. The story might have dragons, but it is primarily a romance book. Xaden has always been the main focus of Violet and they got together in the first book--just like other fantasy/romance books; think Edward/Bella or Alina/Mal. Plus, most of her audience really like them together; not having them as end game would be alienating her readers.

So Dain's not ending up with Violet. To be honest he could end the story single if he survives, but I'd be a little surprised. Many authors even outside the romance genre have a habit of pairing up their characters at the end. It would be nice if the series didn't go that route, especially if it didn't have a time-skipped epilogue, but I'm expecting at least the main side characters to get paired up to some extent since it is a romance book.

That leaves the question of who he could be paired up with. It's hard to say at this point because he hasn't had many interactions with anyone besides Violet. The few times other characters mention him, most don't really like him. They're are Violet's friends or Marked, so they already have a poor opinion of him or hate him for Liam's death.

I'm not saying that Yarros couldn't have those characters change their opinion of Dain in later books (I really hope they do) and then pair him off with one of them. The issue is that I think most of Violet's close group have been given hints already to who they'll end up with. Sawyer is crushing on Jesinia, Imogen on Garrick. Rhiannon is with Tara, who will hopefully get better established as a character in later books. Though brief Sloane and Cam have some flirtation and in a lot of ways it would make a lot of sense to have them end up together, particularity if Cam becomes King. It would fully show the Marked ones are apart of the kingdom again and fully trusted.

Now, Ridoc is a possibility, but only if Dain is established as bi (which isn't impossible). The biggest hurdle there is that Ridoc is the exact opposite of Dain in a lot of ways. He's the goofball, while Dain is portrayed as a strict. Ridoc doesn't like him. It's really doubtful they'd get along. That could change as the series goes on; Ridoc could show a more serious side, while Dain could lighten up. Violet said he used to smile and laugh a lot, be less of a rule follower. Maybe Ridoc could bring that back out. I think it could be pretty cute and honesty it'd be cool if Yarros put an end to a love triangle by pairing up the spare with another guy.

One possibility though that I really find interesting and I could see is Cat.

First of all she also needs paired up as that failed third wheel of a love triangle with Xaden. There is a man in her Gryphon Flier group that likes her, so that might be who she gets put with in the end, but if that does happen I hope he gets a bit more screen time given how important Cat has been at least during Iron Flame.

Second, their powers complement each other. Dain can see memories (pretty much read minds to an extent) while Cat can manipulate emotions as long as they're present. I could easily see these two using teamwork to get stuff done. Cat could get someone upset enough that they lower their shields so Dain can read them, or Dain could read someones memories and give Cat the best ammunition to get them into the state of mind she needs to manipulate their emotions. Physical fights wouldn't change much but in intelligence work they could be really good as a team.

Third, I want a Flier/Rider romance and Cat's the most prominent Gyphon Flier we have as of Iron Flame. She's third in line for the throne which is interesting and could mean she ends up as Queen. Giving her a dragon Rider partner could be a good way of showing that even once the Venin are gone Navarre and Poromeil are still allies. Also would be interesting to see how a relationship like that was seen by the dragons.

Fourth, it'd be a bit funny. Cat is Xaden's ex, while Dain was Violet's first crush and childhood friend. I doubt Xaden would care much, since he never cared about Cat, but I think Violet would have many conflicting feelings about it which would be fun to see her stress over. By the end of Iron Flame she seems to have grown to respect Cat and Cat respects her in return, but I it wasn't that long ago she hated her. Meanwhile, although she was furious at Dain, he was her best friend for fifteen years.

It'd just be funny to see Violet struggling with that sort of roller coaster of emotions and perhaps catching herself thinking similar things Dain said to her about Xaden. I mean I could see her first thought being Cat is getting close to Dain to mess with her, since she can't get to Xaden anymore. Having her catch herself and realize she's making snap judgments could lead to some interesting conversations with both Dain and Cat or even Xaden talking to her more about his past with Cat. Just cool character interactions all around!

Fifth, character development. Dain is seen as Mr. By the Book, and although there probably isn't some rule against Flier/Rider relationships (because they've never worked together before) it could still be seen as wrong. They might be working together but they were enemies for hundreds of years. Dain picking Cat despite it being seen as against the spirit of the Codex continues his growth as getting over his issue of putting rules before people he cares about.

Meanwhile Cat, although tackling her anti-Dragon Rider hate and working with Violet has another flaw the one that was probably the biggest reason her and Xaden broke up. She wanted a crown. Now, I actually don't think this is a terrible thing for her to want given what we know of her and her situation. Poromeil has been essentially left to die by Navarre for hundreds of years. Frankly it makes sense Cat would want political power so she could use it to form an alliance with a Kingdom that might be strong enough to save her home.

Still the story makes it appear to be a flaw--that she wanted a crown over love. So, in that sense picking Dain, someone who isn't a prince or king, and has very little sway with anyone with power (Xaden hates him, and he deserted the army so he doesn't have any allies on that front either--dude is not getting a good job no mater whose in charge) shows she'll pick over over a crown. Even if afterwards she still gets the throne of Poromeil for whatever reason, it'd still prove she picked Dain over power.

So, that's my essay on possible end ships for Dain. I sort of still think he'll die--I'm always prepared for a character I like to die. But if he does live and get paired up I'd say it'd be Cat, with Ridoc as a runner up.

Inline hooks vs. Tapered hooks When it comes to hooks, there are several to choose from. Do you decide on an inline hook like Susan Bates or a tapered hook like Boyle hooks? That is a tough one to decide. However, I would like to compare them, so that you can make your own decision of what hook would work better for you. Inline hooks Inline hooks are great for beginners. I wish I had known…

WHY are inline style crochet hooks so much harder to find. i dont want a boye hook i want inline!!!

[im-a-freaking-joy]

Great job! The foundation chains do seem too tight, it looks like a tension issue. Tension is the level of tightness you hold your yarn with, and can be tricky to master even if you've been crocheting for years. What helps a lot of beginners is buying a tension ring (dont get the ones shaped like a peacock, theyre cheap but don't work great) so that way you only have to focus on the hand movements as a first step. As for the single crochet, you put your hook into one of the loops you made in your chain. Then using the hook part, you grab the yarn you're using, that's what the picture shows. It's showing you a middle step, which is very confusing lol. So now you have 2 loops on your hook, the one from your chain and the new one you just made. Now you grab the yarn again with the hook, and this time you pull the yarn through both of the loops. You're making foundation chains on top of each other by using the original foundation chain as one of the loops. putting an extra loop there by "yarning over" (grabbing the yarn and pulling it up through your chain) means that there's a little bit of space between the foundation chain and the new row! I hope this makes sense, if it doesn't let me know and I can shoot you a message personally to explain things more in detail :)

Learning to crochet! Excited about it. :) (Also, any mutuals who know how, I could use some help)

So far I've, managed foundation chains:

And these:

I think I might have it too tight? This keeps happening to the white:

I'm ready to move on to a single crochet, but this illustration is confusing me and the YouTube tutorials are not helpful:

I'll probably figure it out, but any tips, tricks, etc. would be very helpful.

about the Viv clip (here for anyone who doesn't know: https://x.com/sgpenpen/status/1809446415350759572)

to me it doesn't sound like Viv is saying having Stol1tz hook up was Brandon's idea, just that he was open to seeing how Stolas would play as a dramatic character and not just a one note sex pest for a 'joke'

given how over-enthusiastic Viv in that clip was when he said yes, my money is still on her for being the one to want them to hook up.

she said herself at another con that she pitched him the idea of them hooking up - I suspect once he said yes to exploring Stolas as a serious character, they wrote some or most of s1 keeping him inline with the pilot/murder family only for Viv to pitch the 'how about they hook up for real' idea somewhere after truth seekers. I don't wanna theorize too much but it may be seeing Viv's angle for s2 and having projects of his own that made Brandon pull back from the writing, since his signature style really goes missing at the start of s2

if I'm remembering right Ozzie's was her first solo written episode and that's the one where Blitz chewed Stolas out for treating him like a sex object...only for Viv to go on twitter and show her hand by liking tweets that said Blitz wasn't mad Stolas mistreated him, he was just mad Stolas wanted to act romantic after the fact when the 'date' was a disaster

her desperately trying to course correct to get people not to judge Stolas stems all the way back to Ozzie's, the one solo episode of hers that got a lot of praise.

also her saying the show is principally about Blitz's relationships - to me it's such a revealing statement because the only one of those Viv really cares about is his relationship with Stolas. the only thing given remotely the same amount of screentime has been his friendship with Fizz (but Fizz is a male character with a celebrity VA, otherwise I don't think she would have cared that much)

Exactly. It all smacks of backtracking, outright lying, and at least a tiny bit of throwing Brandon under the bus.

Here is my first mural-esc collection of designs, I'm def going to be doing future edits to these fellas because I'm not the happiest with the amount of consideration I put into the role and designs compared with the way I did for my BG, Sheriff and Kittysaurus designs.

I redid the logo

because when it played along side the little jingle in the beware the spider video I was so hooked on that idea, I think the instructional videos being a common place thing consistently throughout the chapters would be awesome and if I could I would go back and make them to help out with some of the poor tutorial-isation in the earlier chapters defiantly having one each chapter but I digress. I like the little cannon chime that plays with the logo a whole lot :D the font I used for the word 'Kindergarten' can be found here: https://fontmeme.com/fonts/tropical-jungle-font/

For both Banban and Banbaleena I gave them both name tags as they (in my mind) both have teaching roles in the kindergarten but also because the other characters refer to them not with their character names but with their doners names, I gave Dr. Uthman some arm hair because I thought it could be interesting if he had, after being alone for so long, tried his best to make his current body more inline with his self image of being a middle aged man. Mrs Mason i have given less attention to but i can see her having an interesting dynamic with captain fiddles (whose design is the same) as they both have more central teaching roles and (i like to think) an appreciation for learning of any kind.

Stinger Flynn and Jumbo josh are both pretty self explanatory, i tried to make them both look more like their animal doners of Jellyfish and Gorilla, Stinger has stinging tentacles an his burn scar and josh jus got that more monkey grin

Nabnab and Nabnaleena are the cutest and i tried like josh and Flynn to make em look like spiders more, and i made their weird ass tongues a gradient, also fuzzy butts

Then their is Opila who is still just analogous bird.. I don't see her as a flamingo i think it suits her better to be a pseudo mother hen, even if she is more on the prehistoric side kind of. I am going to be doing Tar Tar bird and the chicks on a later date :D

and finally Slow Seline, i gave her a little tooth gap and just know she is the sweetest. also no more tripped out huge pupils, congrats seline, u my acception

Part 2 for Self-Care (or it can be a stand-alone fic)

This is what he looked like, post shower, once he has laid you on the bed, naked. The beads of water dripping from his hair land on your breasts and stomach as he looks down at you adoringly.

"Let me take care of you, starlight," he coos, grazing his hands over your hips to persuade you.

"I- I don't know Qui," you say hesitantly, not sure of what to expect since you were still a virgin and only have kissed Qui-Gon up to that point. You knew he would take the best care of you, gently talking you through it, but you were still worried of how sensitive the experience would feel. "What are you going to do?"

"I'm going to kiss you, at first. Then there will be some sucking, like I do to your breasts, remember how much you like that?" he asks, trying to be soft and reassuring.

"I do like that," you say sheepishly. "But I'm so sensitive," you say worried it will be a bad experience for the both of you.

"I'll go as slow as you'd like. I want you to take hold of my hair, alright. I promise you can't hurt me," he says to put you at ease as he lowers himself to be inline with your weeping core.

You hope he thinks you are just wet from the shower, but he can see the way you were pushing your thighs together that you were secretly excited and ready for him. Your smell was intoxicating to him, already half hard and he hasn't even tasted you yet. His large nose will bury between where your thigh meets your pelvic bone and inhale sharply.

You shiver with anticipation, getting more wet by the minute because of how eager your man is to please you.

To get into position he hooks his arms under your thighs so his large callused hands can come back around and rest on your lower stomach. He plans on squeezing the soft flesh as he makes you a moaning mess.

He wants to just look at you for a while. Your cunt puffy and dripping, desperate for any stimulation. He starts with small kitten licks to gauge your comfort level.

Qui-Gon is thrilled to hear you mewl and have your fingers find his scalp. This encourages him to be a bit more bold, slowly making out with your pussy.

The sounds of your slick and his saliva smacking together was deliciously dirty. When you would occasionally tug at his hair he would groan in appreciation, vibrations making you whimper.

His tongue expertly dove deeper into your gummy walls. As your squirming became more erratic he knew you were approaching your climax. He shifted his attention to your clit, sucking, swirling, kissing and lapping at the bud to make sure you could ride through your high.

His hands snaked their way higher to your breasts, softly rubbing them to give you the utmost pleasure possible.

"UUghhgh, Qui! I think m'gunna cum," you slur out, eyes rolled to the back of your head and back arched to the heavens.

"Let go starlight, give yourself to me," he pants out, pupils blown and hot air fanning over your cunt as he regains his breath.

His tongue travels deep between your silky folds, pussy juices covering his lips, chin and nose. The way the tip of his nose hit your clit while his tongue did figure-eights made you see stars.

As your body slows from its convulsing Qui-Gon emerges from between your legs and floats his way up to your face.

"Are you alright," he asks, searching your face for fear, embarrassment or content.

Your eyes are still closed, arms thrown above your head in bliss, hair messy from squirming. You couldn't be anymore sexy.

"Mmmmmm," was all you could get out, in such a state of ecstasy nothing could bring you down. You lean to face Qui-Gon with a toothy grin and wrap your arms around his neck and one leg over his hip.

You smush your faces together for a deep kiss, able to taste the remnants of yourself on his tongue as it fought for dominance against your own.

That’s all the pieces completed! Now to sew everything together. Sew the bottom piece onto the body so that it’s making full contact.

Now find a spot along the middle segment that you want to be your face, position your cheek circles so they are evenly on both the bottom and top. Add small embroidery eyes using your black yarn scraps in between your two cheeks. Next position the large antenna so they are inline with your eyes, and closer to the back of the head I recommend just pinning them at first and positioning your small antenna at the same time. Sew them in place once your satisfied with their position

Finally sew the three green circles spaced out along the back following the curve of the bottom piece.

And you’re done, to forget to tuck all loose threads and tighten your knots, thank you for joining me in making my first pattern!

Finally finished (kinda) my mini Boggy the Froggy. I found a purple backpack for him too!

Here he is next to my other Boggy:

Tried a new pattern this time. Not sure it's my favorite. I have so many frog patterns lol.

Gonna probably add a mouth to the mini one, and crochet an even smaller frog for him to keep in his backpack, but idk when I'll finish that and I wanted to post this back when the fhjy finale aired lol. Took me this long to finish.

Patterns and notes beneath the cut.

I forgot which hook sizes I used for each one, but here's how I decided which hook to use:

I find it helpful to swatch small spheres for amigurimi to test fabric texture and stitch definition. I've started to do swatching work between projects or when I don't want to work on anything too mentally taxing, and then I have swatches ready so I can dive into a project when my hyperfixation hits.

For yarn, I used Loops and Threads chenille yarn. Works fine, sews like shit. Would recommend looking for a better chenille yarn if you go that route.

I did find that while I usually prefer inline hooks, for chenille yarn a tapered or hybrid hook is better bc it doesn't tear up the yarn as much. I've been getting into the Clover Amour hooks, but am trying to find ways to make them more ergonomic.

Patterns!

I sewed the arms differently for the backpack, and decided not to add the feet and tail. I'll keep them in his backpack tho in case I decide to add them later.

This pattern is also great for making little kitties:

I sewed through the top to accentuate the ears, and free-handed the tail until it looked right.

~ About 11 months later ~

You’re lying in bed on a cozy Friday morning. Light from the window at your feet shines through a gap in the curtains. If you lifted your head you’d be able to see the trees in the park across the street. But you don’t have to get up just yet. You stretch out your arms and then curl back under the covers.

You have a long day of studying ahead of you. You’d managed to get a late acceptance to a decent university, and the first two weeks have kicked your ass. Not only was the workload more than you imagined, but there was so much you didn’t understand and had to get caught up on.

Next to you, Steven moans softly and rolls over, tumbling into you. He wraps an arm around you and presses his chest to your back. The steady rise and fall of his breathing tells you he’s not yet fully awake. You shift a bit, moving into his warmth, your body now flush against him. In the process, your ass brushes his morning wood, which settles right between your cheeks.

His hold on you tightens and he moans again, but this one is less a sleepy protest and more an awakened desire. You push back and grind into him, and he responds by rolling his hips and slipping his hand up your shirt to play with your nipple.

“You sure you want to start something so early, love?” he asks of you and nips your earlobe.

“Mmm. Absolutely.”

You pull down your sleeping pants, kicking them off down into the blankets, as Steven pulls his down enough to free his aching cock.

He lifts your leg and wedges his thigh in between. He slides his fingers over you to check if you’re ready for him and you definitely are. “Fuck, babe, if I didn’t know better I’d say you were ovulating.”

Almost as soon as you’d moved in together nearly two months ago, a flip had switched and Steven had become really domestic. He not-so-subtly wanted to start a family. He’d agreed that for the time being you should focus on school and figure out your future before bringing kids into it, but that didn’t stop him from fantasizing about knocking you up.

You wouldn’t have guessed that you’d like it, but when he said shit like that to you, especially with that needy edge in his voice, you wanted to give him whatever he wanted.

He works his way into you slowly, shifting his hips to get the angle just right. His hand hooked under your thigh keeping you open for him, his hot breath settling sticky on your neck, his kisses like praise as he sinks into you.

His thrusts are short — he likes to stay buried in you, the head of his cock relentless on that spot deep inside — but his pace is brutal. He clutches tightly to you as he humps your brains out.

In between soft grunts, he whispers, “Want to fuck a baby in you…take my come so deep…make you a mum…”

You reach your hand back to grip his ass and feel those muscles working to fuck his thick cock into you. You try to pull him in deeper and you feel the tip kiss your cervix. If you were really trying to get pregnant this would be the perfect position.

Steven slides his hand down to rub your clit and the extra sensation has you seeing stars. “That’s it, love. Want to feel you come.”

Your cunt clenches around him as your orgasm rushes through you. His rhythm falters and his hips snap, driving him deep into your core as he paints your walls.

Still catching his breath, he says, “Well that’s a brilliant way to start the day, innit?” 

You don’t want to move but unfortunately you can’t stay there all day. You release the generous muscle of his ass and snake your hand to the back of his head, turning to plant a kiss on his parted lips. You gasp as his cock slips out of you, and he swallows it down with a kiss of his own.

After you clean up you both start in on your morning routine, already a smooth choreography of sharing a bathroom and closet.

“What are your plans for the day?” he asks from the sink as you pull a shirt off a hanger. 

You groan thinking about it. “Studying.” You say it like it’s a bad word.

He emerges from the bathroom. “None of that negative self talk today, alright? Learning is supposed to be fun, not stressful.” He kisses your cheek. “Do you want upstairs or downstairs today?”

There’s a rule at your house: you and Steven have to study in separate rooms. Because once he puts those glasses on, you suddenly find yourself climbing into his lap and steaming them up.

“I’ll take upstairs.”

“Alright. I’ll just be doing some light reading.” He grabs a huge stack of books and heads downstairs. “Give me a shout if I can fetch you some tea or snacks.”

—

You had been back in London for about two months. Initially, you, your sister, and the boys lived in their flat together, but it had gotten cramped fast, and a month ago you and the boys had moved into a townhouse a little removed from the center of London, leaving the flat to Cassie. Steven could no longer hop the bus to school, but as Jake didn’t mind driving you and Steven, it all worked out.

You’d been surprised when Cassie had decided to come with you to London. After a rough start in Spain — she’d let her displeasure at having to move be known loudly and often — she had really taken to the change. She’d loved the nightlife, especially all of the attractive people her own age. Plus, the substantial amount of cash the boys had given you helped win her over. Despite never picking up the language, she seemed to really thrive there, and when the boys had called to say it was done, they were finally free, you had worried that you’d have to leave her. Because, by some miracle, you two had actually bonded in a way you’d never managed before. It had started, you were pretty sure, when you were finally honest with her. Suddenly her life made a lot more sense to her, and you were no longer the person who ruined her life. She could finally see you as the person who wanted the best for her.

And she had been there for you, for your time in Spain had been markedly different than hers. Other than one visit 100 days — yes you counted — after leaving them in New York, you didn’t get to see your boyfriends until they were moving you to London. They called you as much as they could, at times you spoke every day, but sometimes, without warning, they’d go silent for a week or more. It was terrifying each time, and the feeling of complete helplessness was torture, not knowing if they were still alive.

They also hadn’t been very forthcoming in what they were doing. You didn’t think they kept you in the dark on purpose, rather they clearly didn’t like to talk about it. You still didn’t know the details, only that they were now free of Khonshu and that Foswell’s organization was gone and there was no one left to come after you or your sister. You weren’t sure if they would ever tell you, and you were mostly okay with that as you didn’t exactly want to know, but you just wanted to know how they were dealing with it.

You got the feeling they mostly wanted to leave it behind them. From the moment you’d reunited, their arms around you once again, they’d been all in on starting a life with you. The townhouse had been the first step, a new beginning for all of you. Gus 1 and Gus 2 — whom Steven contends are actually Gus 2 and Gus 3 — came with you, of course, and Jake adopted a stray cat that wandered around the neighborhood and he was currently in the process of turning him into a house cat. He named the cat Gustavo, which caused Cassie to opine — in front of the boys — that she wished they all had the same name like their pets. It was (mostly) a joke as she had learned all of their names, and had even chosen a favorite alter: Steven, though she claimed she couldn’t understand a word he said — whether that was due to the accent or his tendency to ramble about ancient Egypt, you weren’t sure. In any case, your sister liked to drop by, always unannounced, and the boys enjoyed/tolerated her visits on a sliding scale.

Despite Cassie’s repeated offers to re-decorate the house for you, you loved the townhouse — it felt like home to you in a way that no other place had, safe and full of love. It wasn’t large, but it was roomy enough. You’d converted one of the upstairs bedrooms into a study. Books lined the shelves on either side of the cozy fireplace, in front of which was a low-backed couch. Behind that, pushed up against the window was Steven’s desk.

All morning you’d been studying at that desk, failing miserably at taking Steven’s advice. He’d come to check on you about every hour bringing you a treat or topping off your water bottle, the plates piled up in the corner of the desk evidence of that.

Sometime after lunch you hear the footsteps, the ever-so-slightly heavier footfall and even pacing. Just by that you can tell Steven is done reading for the day and Marc is seeking you out. He finds you with your nose in a book. He doesn’t disturb you, instead taking a seat in the armchair in the corner. He picks up his guitar on the stand next to it and strums for a bit, alternating between chords and plucking a melody.

It’s mildly distracting, but only because you’re so tempted to turn and watch him. He’s so ridiculously beautiful when he’s playing guitar. But on the other hand, the sound is soothing and you feel your shoulders relax a bit and a little calm settling over you, melting the stress away.

You get to the end of your reading, noticing that the notes you took are practically just an entire copy of the text, and you snap the book closed. As soon as you do, the music abruptly cuts off and you hear the hollow thunk of the guitar being returned to its stand.

Marc comes up behind you and leans down to kiss your neck. “How’s the studying going, baby?”

You’re still kind of amazed by you how far you’ve come with Marc. When the boys visited you in Spain, Marc had only fronted on the last day. You’d been having such a wonderful time with Jake and Steven, and had given up on getting to see Marc. But he appeared while you were preparing some dinner in the kitchen. From the doorway he asked if you wanted some help. You worked together mostly silently, but the air between you was buzzing. You had a pleasant dinner afterward, and he seemed to open up to you. That night you went to bed together, finally giving in to your feelings for each other. You’d never forget the drag of his lips over your skin or the sweet way he’d moaned your name.

“Oh, despite the fact that I’m not smart enough for this, it’s going great!”

He chuckles against your skin. “I know you’re just letting off steam, but Steven wants you to quit talking like that.”

You press your cheek to his and sigh. “I just feel so behind already. I have no idea how I’m going to catch up.”

“It’s bound to be hard at first, but you’ll get the hang of it. Do you like what you’re studying?”

You don’t answer right away. “I guess so? I really fucking hope so, but it’s just so hard and stressful I can’t really tell.”

In his sexy voice he says, “I think you just need to take your mind off it for a bit.”

His lips are on yours and as soon as his tongue touches yours all thoughts of school disappear. You sigh into his mouth, then remember your appointment this afternoon.

“Wait, what time is it?”

“We’ve got time,” he assures you.

You stand from your chair and wrap your arms around his neck, threading your fingers through his hair. You never get to touch him for very long so you have to take advantage of it when he lets you.

Sure enough, after he pulls your shirt and bra off, he says, “Wrists.”

You hold your wrists together and out toward him. He pulls a silk tie from his pocket and ties them together. “What’s the safe word?” he quizzes you.

You tell him and he nods, satisfied. 

More often than not sex with Marc includes bondage. He has to be in control and doesn’t like to be touched. It was only last week that you got to reverse roles — something you were surprised by when he asked you for it. You had the feeling that he was craving punishment, but instead you had tied him up and treated him right, gently exploring his body. Though you were intimately aware of him physically thanks to your exploits with Steven and Jake, you hadn’t yet gotten to know what Marc liked. You’d taken your time with him, and taken his cock down your throat — a skill you’d been working on with Jake. The way he reacted to you, though, had you feeling he might’ve preferred the punishment to your kindness.

He strips off the rest of your clothes and you stand in front of him completely naked whereas he is still fully clothed. He has a wicked smile on his face as he guides you over to the couch. Your legs are already shaking as he bends you over, your ass up in the air.

When you and Marc had gone furniture shopping, you had found it weird that Marc would always check out the back of the couch instead of the front. With your hand in his, he’d pull you behind the couch with him. As soon as he’d come across this one, he immediately wanted to buy it. It wasn’t until the first time he’d bent you over it that you realized he had been searching for one that was the perfect height.

You’re not sure what he has planned but your lips are already swollen and slick, ready for anything. You crane your neck to try and see what he’s up to. You watch him disappear as he gets on his knees behind you. He caresses your legs with both hands then adjusts your stance, spreading your legs wider.

You whimper as you feel his breath on the upper most part of your thigh. His face presses into you and his tongue slides over your sensitive nub. You grip the cushion of the couch, wishing so bad you could reach back and tug on his hair. All you can do is squirm, and you can’t even do much of that with the way he holds your hips steady.

You hear the clock downstairs chime twice. It’s two o’clock and you both have to leave around three. One would think that was enough time, but Marc can easily edge you for an hour. 

And that’s just what he does. No matter how you try to hide it from him, he always knows when you’re close. He brings you right up to the edge and backs away. Over and over. You try to lift your leg and slide it over his hip, just for some contact. But he catches your ankle and holds you in place.

You’re not sure how many times you say the word ‘please’ or moan his name.

The clock chimes three times. “Shit, Marc. We have to go.”

He doesn’t respond. Only tosses your thighs over his shoulder and buries his face in your cunt, finally allowing you the release you’ve been denied.

You go limp, your head blurry with bliss, nearly drifting off to sleep. Until you feel the head of his cock at your soaked and oversensitive entrance. He pushes in gently and even though the sensation is overwhelming, it feels amazing to finally be filled. His pace is quick, and he’s muttering to himself about how good you feel. He’s quick to his orgasm, and he only touches your swollen clit when he’s moments from cumming. You clench around him and have another, albeit weaker, orgasm.

He pulls out slowly. Your thighs are soaked and you feel his cum leak out of you too. He reaches over you to untie your wrists, giving them each a kiss when they’re free. “Let me get a washcloth. Be right back.”

You both clean up quickly, Marc washing his face of your juices and his sweat. You tie up your hair and notice an indentation line across your face from pressing it into the couch. You show him and he chuckles before flashing you a guilty look. “This better be gone before we arrive,” you say playfully.

—

You and Marc started therapy six weeks ago. You have different therapists, but you booked your sessions for the same time and within the same practice so that you could go together. You could tell it was already helping even if it was only in the most minor of ways.

After your sessions, you walk around the city with Marc, both of you in quiet contemplation. Eventually, you come out of your heads and you talk and laugh and get ice cream on this unseasonably warm day.

When you get home, you cook dinner together. Marc is admittedly a better cook than you and could probably prepare the meal much faster on his own, but you can’t resist being in the kitchen with him. He never walks by you without touching a part of you. A hand on the small of your back, a pinch to your waist, a pat on your ass. 

It’s after you and Marc clear your plates that Jake shows up. You’re washing up at the sink and he comes up behind you, wrapping his arms around you. “No puedo esperar a mañana, cariño,” he murmurs in your ear. <Can’t wait for tomorrow, sweetheart.>

You have special plans to spend the whole day together, just the two of you. In the evening, you have dinner reservations and you’ll be revealing a new dress you bought just for the occasion. Later, you’ll reveal a little something else you bought underneath.

Jake pops on a movie in the living room and you cuddle up next to him on the couch. It’s a new release that you’ve both been interested in watching. But no matter how good it is, you always get distracted by the man next to you. His arm around you, his thumb tracing arcs where his hand rests on your back. His broad chest beneath your head. The smell of him so rich and sweet.

You start with your hand on his knee, gently squeezing to activate that sensitive part of his inner knee. You’re not sure when he catches on to what you’re doing — knowing him it was right about the moment you thought to do it. But as you caress your hand up his inner thigh he spreads his legs a little wider giving you more access to him. 

He’s wearing sweatpants without underwear — a Marc specialty that Jake has really embraced. So when you touch him, cupping his balls and gripping his cock, there’s only one layer of fabric in between and you can really feel him.

With his arm still wrapped around you, fingertips gripping your jaw, he tilts your head up to him. He takes a moment to look at you, his eyelids heavy with desire. Then he captures your lips in an all-consuming kiss, his tongue sliding over yours. You continue to stroke his cock, feeling it harden beneath your grip as you make out.

You pull away and tug down his pants until his cock springs free. Mouth watering, you get on your knees in front of him and take the head into your mouth, letting your spit drip down his shaft. You stretch your lips wide to fit around his girth as you take more of him. When the tip hits the back of your throat, he inhales sharply then groans as you focus on relaxing, taking a breath before pushing deeper.

“¡Joder!” <Fuck!> Jake continues to curse as you bob your head, taking him deeper until your nose touches his pelvis.

You only manage to take him all the way down a few times before he pulls you off him, stopping himself from cumming. Unexpectedly, he stands up and says, “I’ll be right back.”

“Jake!” You call to his back as he heads up the stairs.

“Be right back!”

You sit back on your heels and rest your arm on the seat of the couch, wondering two things: what the fuck he’s doing, and what the fuck is happening in this movie. 

He returns, one hand behind his back. “Just had to get…this.” He reveals your vibrator with a flourish, purring from the back of his throat as he does so. You roll your eyes. It turns out that out of the three of them, Jake is the goofiest.

He tugs his shirt off in a flash and shucks off his pants. You look up at him from your place on the floor, casting an appreciative eye over his naked form. When you reach his face there’s a cocky smirk waiting for you. “I didn’t go get this for me. Want to take off your clothes now?”

You strip off your shirt and whip it at him for being a smartass, earning you a wide grin. You make quick work of undressing, but when he wraps his fist around his cock you nearly trip trying to step out of your pants. 

He’s on you the moment you straighten up, pressed against you, his erection sandwiched in between your bodies, lips on your neck, hand gripping your hair then trailing down your back and finally grabbing a handful of your ass so he can pull you down on the couch on top of him.

You ride him slow at first and he’s content to lay back and enjoy the show. But as soon as he turns on your vibrator and places it on your clit — positioning it so he gets a little vibe, too — he’s thrusting up into you and neither of you lasts much longer. He manages to catch the look of you as the pleasure crashes over you, then he follows with a series of grunts, dropping the vibrator, still buzzing, on his stomach to grip your hips with both hands.

His eyes are still closed as he says, words ever-so-slightly slurred, “With how often we cum inside you, you’re bound to get pregnant even with birth control.”

Your laughter is soft at first, but as the ridiculousness of his pussy-drunk brain hits you, you laugh harder. He joins in, both of you laughing at him and perhaps simply at the euphoria of the moment.

A yawn takes over as your laughter subsides and you begin to speak through the end of it. “Can we go to bed? I’m fucking tired.”

You’re not so tired that you can’t walk up the stairs on your own but Jake insists on carrying you.

In bed, he holds you tightly against his chest. There’s a glow from the bedside clock and you both watch it tick over to midnight. “Happy anniversary, mi amor.”

~~~

A/N: I hope you liked the ending. While I have no plans to continue this series, I have thought of some possible bonus chapters. I’m not sure whether I’ll write those or not, but please let me know if that’s something you’d be interested in!

@badthingshappenbingo: Shaking and Shivering

Characters: Twilight, The Chain, Ordon Village

Warnings: Hyperventilating, falling into ice

Twilight woke to someone jumping on him, and a young voice cheering excitedly.

"Link!" Colin said, grin across his face. The chain had ended up in Ordon village, much to Twilgiht's delight. They had only been there a day, but everyone had quickly settled and been introduced to his family.

"Link, it's snowing! An' the lake is frozen over!"

Twilight laughed as he sat up, rubbing sleep from his eyes. It was good to hear his brother’s voice again.

"Well, I guess we better get out there, huh?”

Colin nodded and jumped up, running out of the room. Meanwhile, people stirred around him. Wind was already awake, staring out the window with his eyes wide.

Twilight stood and scruffed his hair, but the sailor was too in awe to even bat the hand away. Twilight chuckled. “I forgot you’ve never seen snow before. Wanna come outside?”

Wind gasped in delight, promptly running over to where Hyrule, Wild and Four were.

“Come on!” He called to them, before disappearing through the door excitedly.

-

When everyone was wearing appropriate clothing, they gathered down by the lake. Beth and Colin were already there, sword fighting with hooked sticks.

“Uh, Twilight?” Hyrule asked. His eyes were drawn to Twilight’s shoes. “What are you wearing?”

Ilia had wandered over as Hyrule asked the question, and laughed. She was also sporting an odd pair of lace up shoes, that had thin blades attacthed to the soles. “They’re so you can slide on the ice.” She answered. “It’s for a game here in Ordon.”

Ilia offered another one of the hooked sticks she was holding to Twilight, who accepted it before turning to the chain. “Want a demonstration?”

-

The people of Ordon village had divded themselves into two teams, before gliding out onto the ice with their bladed shoes. Mayor Bo stood in the centre of the lake, dividing the teams, and he held a smallish round object.

Everyone tensed, and the Link’s all leant forward in anticipation, waiting to see how the game would go. Twilight and Ilia, who seemed to be the captains of each team, faced each other in the centre.

Then Mayor Bo dropped the disc.

Twilight and Ilia immedietly fought for control over it using their sticks, and Twilight emerged victorius. He hit it towards Colin, who took it and skated towards their makeshift goal. Colin hit the puck towards Twilight who sped along beside him, but it was intercepted by Uli, who turned around to go the other direction.

One thing the chain took notice of was the Twilight was fast. He slid along the ice with his bladed shoes as if he had been doing it his whole life (which he probably had), and quickly drew himself parallel to Uli. Rusl, who was standing at the goal, braced himself.

The game was going fine. Competetive and enjoyable, with everyone standing around the lake cheering on the players. Then a sharp crack echoed across the lake.

Twilgith let out a cry, arms flinging out as the ground underneath him dissapeared. The gap at his feet caught on his shoes, and the chain could only watch as their brother fell down.

-

Twilight skated forwards, inline with Uli who was heading towards her goal. Rusl stood in the goals, ready for her to shoot. Twilight went to snatch the puck away from his adoptive mother, when a loud crack caught his attention.

First there was the sickening realisation that the ice had broken. Then there was the intense feeling of COLD that engulfed him, taking over his body. Then there was what Rusl called the ‘cold shock response’, and he felt his lungs tighten, which caused him to gasp for air that wasn’t there.

The icy water that he inhaled only made him freeze up more, and he felt himsef begin to hyperventilate. ‘Don’t panic, control your breathing’ Uli would tell him. It was a shame his brain and body didn’t seem to want to listen to reason.

COLD. It screamed.

COLD.

COLD.

COLD.

He couldn’t feel anything.

AIR. It gasped.

AIR.

AIR.

AIR.

He couldn’t breathe.

Alarm bells went off in his head. He was going to drown, he was going to drown, he was going to-

‘If you fall into the ice, you have to stay calm.’

He knew that voice. His panicked brain might not be able to identify who it belonged to, but he knew he could trust it.

‘Find where you fell through and orientate yourself.’

There. There was the hole in the ice. Twilight forced his freezing limbs to move, andwith great difficulty, reached up and grabbed onto the edge of the solid ice above him.

‘Get into a horizontal position, and kick your legs. This will help you pull yourself onto the ice.’

He did. He kicked his legs, and hauled himself up, spluttering as he pulled his head above the water.

‘Don’t try to stand up. Roll yourself out of the water.’

With a shuddering gasp, Twilight rolled himself out, panting heavily. He didn’t remember much after that. Someone gently helping him back inside, someone fussing over him.

“Let’s get you warm, hey?”

That sounded good.

We will follow Rayne through High School and Uni and life and still see Mom and Dad. I am going to start putting the story line together so I am ahead of the story because right now Rayne is still a toddler.
