sidenote speaking of polls that infuriated me, that poll like 'does a story require themes to be good' was sent from hell to kill me
#everyone taking it as an object lesson in Reading Comprehension this website's favourite fuckin phrase#meanwhile the wording immediately captivated me as a word puzzle#'does a story require themes to be good' immediately dinged in my mind as a hypothetical#and that was way more interesting than the discourse 2 me#like in my mind its not a question of 'do good stories have themes' like duh doy the answer is yes#i saw it as 'does a story REQUIRE themes'#as in 'would a hypothetical lab-made story with no themes be discounted from being a story due to its lack of themes'#and that was fun and u guys had to go 'lollll imagine not paying attention in english class'#if i had paid attention during my english class it would have killed me. we did fucking NOT learn about critical reading or comprehension#we learned how to regurgitate the lowest-common-denominator answers and score well on tests with the least amount of thought#wrote a personal essay abt my grief towards the school system making the point of 'students are shaped into ai'#'whats important is that we can make words in the right sequence and not that we are actualyl saying anything'#and my english teacher was like 'wowww really good essay i rlly feel for you' and then a year later she was showing us chatgpt .#what was i on about. oh yeah language is a prison#'arent you an english major' YES. its a fascinating and fun toy whose widespread application is inappropriate and inefficient#language was made for word puzzles and tripping people up and the fact that i have to verbalise it on a time limit#with only rough approximations of my actual thoughts in casual conversation is one of my greatest griefs#anyway. ahem. tumblr amirite

my hottest classics take is that i think there is substantial enough evidence in the actual text to believe that a woman either did write or helped write the homeric hymn to demeter

OUR ETERNAL SUNSHINE.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
wandanat x female!reader 🌞 𐙚₊˚âŠč♡
summary – You noticed her in the quiet of the library: mysterious, magnetic, and seemingly lost in a world of romance books. What began as a fleeting curiosity quickly spirals into something deeper when you cross paths once more. But just as you begin to imagine the possibilities, you learn something unexpected: she’s not just unavailable – she's already married. To another woman.
warning(s) – none: slow(ish) burn, this chapter is just rlly setting the pace!
word count - 4.3K
CHAPTER 1 - intro (end of the world)
The weekends are never free.
You work those two days at the local library. It’s a quiet, well-kept branch tucked between the city’s community centre and an old record shop that nobody other than the elderely frequent. It doesn’t get much foot traffic except on rainy days and school holidays. You like it that way. The silence helps.
Shuri works here too. She's the one who got you the job. You’ve been friends since undergrad, when the two of you ended up as lab partners in an elective you barely remember registering for. She talks fast, moves faster, and always seems to know what she’s doing. When she found out you needed a weekend job to stay afloat between lectures and placements, she cornered the head librarian and handled it. That’s just how she is.
And Shuri’s graduating this year. Engineering major, already accepted into MIT for grad school. You’re not surprised. She’s been designing micro-robotics in her free time. You’re in a different lane entirely – currently in your second year of law school.
You transferred from your hometown university last year to pursue a better legal program. Born and raised in a little city on the West Coast, the kind of place that never really felt small until you left it. Your family’s still there – your father, who works in accounting, and your younger sister, who’s finishing highschool. Your mother’s out of the picture. She left when you were eleven. The need for freedom had outweighed her love for you and your sister. You don’t talk about her much, but you remember that year like a turning point. That’s when you started thinking seriously about what justice means – what it looks like when someone walks away and no one holds them accountable.
You don’t come from money. Your tuition is covered by scholarships, student loans, and part-time work. You’ve never minded working. Law is expensive, but the work feels worth it.
The library job is manageable. You clock in on Saturdays and Sundays, help with cataloging, and shelve returns. Between that and your classes, your schedule is tightly packed, but routine keeps you focused. Besides, it’s peaceful here. Predictable. That’s not something you get a lot of as a law student.
Shuri calls it your “mental detox zone.” She’s not wrong. And when she’s working the same shift, the two of you make time pass quicker. You argue about your favourite movies, and alternative endings. You quiz each other on useless trivia. You swap snacks behind the desk. You wouldn’t trade it for anything.
This morning, she corners you behind the returns trolley.
“Don’t bail tonight.” She says without preamble.
You glance at her over a stack of fiction. “On what?”
“My brother’s housewarming party. I told you last week.”
You pause. “Thought that was just a small thing.”
“It is. Small enough that you can blend in. Big enough that you’ll meet some interesting people. A few new lawyers from his firm will be there.”
You shake your head. “I have readings – ”
“No,” she interrupts, “you have excuses.”
She gives you a pointed look, like she already knows you’re not saying no for academic reasons. “You’re always saying you want to get your foot in the door. How hard it’s going to be for you to succeed because of your background. My brother has the door. And the house the door is attached to. Go talk to people. Make a contact or two.”
You sigh, but you’re listening. Because Shuri’s been trying to help you since the day she found out you were serious about law. She keeps pushing you in T’Challa’s direction – panel discussions, court hearings, networking mixers, anything that might be useful.
“You’re lucky.” She tells you. “Most people don’t have a direct line to someone already working in their dream field.”
She’s not wrong. But you’ve never been great at the social side of this. Networking feels like performance. You prefer doing the work, not selling yourself.
You don’t give her a firm answer, which means she’ll bring it up again by the end of the shift.
You look at the clock above you.
It’s around 11:10.
Almost time.
For the woman.
Blonde. Tall. Usually dressed in casual layers – sweaters, cardigans, jeans, boots. She carries herself like she has somewhere else to be but chooses to be here instead. Sometimes she’s with another woman, blonder, smaller, serious-looking. Other times she’s alone.
Today, she’s alone.
You notice the titles she picks up. Always romance. Sometimes older classics, sometimes newer ones. She lingers on pages. Reads the back covers. Often sits by the windows with one or two open in her lap but doesn’t always check them out. She seems to read for comfort, not completion.
You don’t know her name. You haven’t said a word to her. But she’s been showing up regularly, and her presence hasn’t gone unnoticed.
When she’s here with someone else, you keep your distance. When she’s alone, you find ways to be nearby. Pretending to sort paperbacks in the next aisle. Adjusting spine labels. You haven’t crossed the line into conversation, but you've come close. You’re curious.
Shuri caught you looking once. She didn’t tease. She just said, “You should probably say something before she catches you checking her out while alphabetising.”
You still haven’t.


It’s another Saturday. The weather is a little colder. Still temperamental between the shift from Spring to Summer.
Shuri isn’t working. She texted earlier - family stuff. Earlier this year you found out that they’re not happy Shuri has decide to pursue engineering instead of following her brother’s footsteps into the legal world. Her brother sticks up for her but their mother still disproves.
You’ve got the shift with Mrs. Harkness, who’s perched at the front desk wearing a fitted purple blazer, hair wild, and her signature dark lipstick.
You pause when you see her outfit.
“You’ve got plans?” You ask.
“Date at two.” She says, adjusting her glasses. “Rio’s back.”
From what little you knew about the woman, she was the only lesbian in town. Her girlfriend - well on and off girlfriend - is Rio Vidal, who you were pretty sure was married to a man a few years ago. She was in the miliatry and was always stationed overseas. She was not much younger than Mrs Harkness, but she radiated very childish energy whenever you saw her. Her and Mrs Harkness constantly argued, and no one ever knew if it waa serious or not.
Clearly not if they're still together.
“Still going strong?”
She shrugs, ruffling her hair out once more. “Not really. But the sex is amazing.”
With that, you leave her to her own devices – it only takes one person to work the counter anyways – head toward the back shelves. The library is slow today. Midday sun filters through the front windows. You’re in the aisle near the romance section, moving slowly through a restock.
Then you hear the familiar sound of the front doors opening.
You glance up. She’s here. Alone again.
You turn back to your cart, pretending not to notice, but your focus is gone. You restack a few books that don’t actually need restacking. As you reach to put one on the shelf, it slips from your hand and drops to the floor with a solid thump.
You stoop to grab it, but a voice beats you to it.
“So
” she says, calm and deliberate, “are you finally going to come talk to me, or should I drop one too?”
You freeze, slowly straighten up, and look at her.
She’s standing a few feet away, arms folded loosely, watching you.
You try to say something coherent. “I didn’t mean to – I wasn’t – uh – “
She gestures toward the reading nook near the back window. “Come on.”
You follow.
She takes the seat near the window, legs crossed. You sit across from her, still trying to decide how to play this. You couldn't gage if she was bad or upset with you.
“I’ve noticed you.”
You look up. “Uh?”
“You hover. Rearranging books that are already in alphabetical order.”
You give a small nod. “That obvious?”
She shrugs. “A little. But not in a bad way.”
She leans back, then introduces herself. “I’m Wanda.”
You give her your name in return.
That seems to be enough to start.
She asks about your job. How long you’ve been here. Then your studies. You explain that you’re in your second year of law school. She doesn’t seem surprised. She asks what kind of law interests you. You say civil rights, maybe criminal defense. She listens, asks a few practical questions, none that raise your suspicions, doesn’t offer advice unless prompted.
She doesn’t offer much about herself, only that she works downtown. Her job keeps her busy. A few notes about her school days, and that, she used to come here with someone, but that changed. She leaves it there, and you don’t push.
It’s a calm conversation. No pressure. She speaks with the sort of confidence that doesn’t need to announce itself. You’re still surprised you’re sitting here at all.
Then her phone buzzes.
Wanda glances down, then stands. “I have to head back.”
“Back where?” You ask.
She adjusts her bag. “The office.”
You frown slightly. “You work weekends?”
She nods. “Work doesn’t really stop when you’re a lawyer.”
That catches your attention. “You’re a lawyer?”
“Mhmm.” She gives a small smile. “Didn’t expect that?”
“Not really.”
“I don’t usually advertise it.” She laughs, glancing around the library. “But yeah. I’ve been practicing a few years now.”
You nod slowly.
“Well,” she says, stepping back, “it was nice to finally meet you, little librarian.”
And with that, she turns and walks out.
You remain where you are for a moment.
It’s not exactly a conversation you expected to have today. But it happened.
Next week, you’ll probably still be behind the romance shelves.
You hope not just watching.


Next Tuesday, you arrive at T’Challa’s new house just after 8 p.m. The place is sleek – glass and concrete, warm lighting through tall windows, filled with quiet music and well-dressed people holding glasses of wine. You feel a bit out of place in your kitten heels and messily-ironed silk dress, but Shuri gives you an approving nod when she sees you.
She’s holding two drinks when she meets you at the door. “Good. You made it.”
You smile faintly. “Yes. Unfortunately a car didn't run me over on the way as I so wished for.”
She ignores your annoying sarcasm. “Well, this is how you build your future,” she says, handing you one of the glasses. “You meet people. You show up. You don’t jump into oncoming traffic.”
You follow her through the house. The crowd is mostly professionals – people who talk fast and laugh quietly. You recognise two professors from your legal ethics class. Mr Killard and Mrs Bernard. Strict professors. You try to avoid eye contact.
Shuri weaves through a group near the kitchen, waving at her brother.
T’Challa sees you both and steps away from his conversation. “Ah! You must be the infamous law student friend of my sisters, who’s apparently always got her head in a book.”
You shake his hand, trying not to sound nervous. “Yes, ha! Thanks for having me.”
“I’ve read your paper on civil reform through municipal courts.” Your hand is still holding his. “Shuri forwarded it to me. You’ve got a sharp mind.”
You blink. “She did what?”
Shuri sips her drink, smug.
T’Challa laughs. “Don’t worry. I trust my sister. She’s a good judge of talent. You’re welcome here anytime.”
Before you can respond, a voice calls out from the entryway.
“T’Challa!” It’s a woman – familiar, confident tone, sharp heels clicking on hardwood. You turn and watch as two women approach from the hallway. One is a lean redhead in a tailored black suit. Hugging all curves as well as exaggerating the bulge of her built muscles. The other—
You freeze.
It’s Wanda.
She’s in a dark grey dress, elegant but simple, her long hair usually flowing in waves over her shoulders is now sleeked back into a ponytail and her messy bangs now parted in the middle where they sit unshaken. She looks nothing like she does at the library – all sharp and rough angles – and yet she’s unmistakable. Your heart lurches unexpectedly.
She’s smiling at T’Challa, standing beside the redhead as they greet him affectionately.
He turns down the hallway, back to where the rest of the party remain. “Ah! Everyone – meet the newest senior partners at the firm. Mrs Natasha and Wanda Maximoff. As of this week, they’re officially ours!”
The announcement draws claps and scattered murmurs of approval. Wanda and Natasha both nod politely to the room. Wanda smiling more brightly than the redhead. Her hand rests lightly on the small of Wanda’s back.
Wait. Mrs? They’re married?
Shuri leans in. “That’s her, isn’t it?”
You’re still staring.
“I knew it! She says, eyes wide, louder than you’d like. “She’s the library girl.”
“Her name’s Wanda.” You mumble.
“Okay
 Wanda. She’s a partner now? Damn. She must be good.”
You nod faintly.
You hadn’t expected to see her here. Definitely not like this.
Standing in a room full of high-profile legal professionals

Introduced as a senior partner

With someone on her arm

It almost hurts how attractive Natasha is. Of course Wanda would be with someone like her.
Shuri nudges you. “Go talk to her.”
You shake your head. “She’s
 with Natasha. They’re married.”
“How do you know? They could be sisters
? And you know what they say, ‘don’t let your wife stop you from meeting your girlfriend.’”
You glance again, ignoring Shuri altogether. The way Natasha’s hand lingers. The way Wanda leans into her slightly. The way they exchange a look when someone jokes about work-life balance. You don’t know for sure. But it’s enough to make you stay where you are.
They’re definitely not sisters.
They’re definitely together.
You keep your distance the rest of the night. Wanda never spots you – you hope. You watch her from across the room for a few minutes, then slip out early, telling Shuri you’re tired, and to thank her brother once more for the invite.
She doesn’t stop you.


Another week or so passes. The rhythm of lectures, late-night reading, and outlining arguments continues. Your calendar is full, your inbox overflows with reminders and reading lists, and the only place that still feels manageable is the library. Your father and sister have been trying to facetime you for the past week or maybe longer, and each time, you’ve been busy catching up on sleep or working.
And you've not had much time to think about the blonde woman, about Wanda. Any and all thoughts lead you back to that night at T’Challa’s. The hand around her waist. The dazzling wedding bands you managed to miss initially – you’d argue due to shock – around their fingers.
Back at the library, the romance section looks the same. The shelves are still in perfect order. The same sunlight pours through the largewindows.
Although, something feels different.
Shuri doesn’t work today. You’re alone at the front desk, catching up on reading. Around 11:15, you hear the front door open.
You don’t have to look. You already know it’s her.
She moves with the same quiet ease, dressed casually in jeans and a long coat.
You don’t approach. You don’t acknowledge her. You don’t shelve books near her like you usually would. You stay at your post and keep your head down.
She makes her way through the library like always, stopping in the romance aisle, waiting for your arrival.
After a few minutes of waiting, she walks toward the front, pausing a few feet from the desk.
You glance up.
She meets your eyes. “Hi.”
You nod once. “Hey.”
She tilts her head. “Everything okay?”
“Yeah.” You say, quieter than intended.
She waits, like she’s deciding whether or not to say something else.
Then: “I didn’t expect to see you at the party.”
You blink.
So she had noticed you

“Uh yeah, I didn’t expect to see you there either.”
“How do you know T’Challa?” She asks curiously.
“I’m a family friend.” You answer without hesitation.
Wanda’s expression doesn’t shift much. But she seems to register the tension.
There’s a short pause. She starts to say something, then changes her mind. “Well
 I’ll be around.”
You nod again. “Have a good morning, Mrs Maximoff.”
She gives you a faint smile that doesn’t reach her eyes. Then walks off toward the far side of the library, leaving her usual seat empty. Leaving the safety of the romance section.
You’re not sure what you feel. Just that something that felt simple now feels complicated. And you’re not ready to step back into it yet.


Saturday rolls around again. Another week of avoiding your family’s calls, of avoiding Shuri pulling you into another of her brother’s event. The next even more extravagant than the last. You vowed you wouldn’t be going into any more situations where Wanda and her wife would be.
But, of course, you manage to forget about the library.
Your job.
Where you can’t avoid her.
It’s mid-morning. You’re seated behind the desk once again, half-reading another case file you don’t have to finish until Monday, when the door creaks open.
You look up out of habit.
Wanda walks in – alone again.
She hesitates this time. Not much. But enough that you notice it.
Her eyes scan the room. She spots you. Pauses.
And then she walks toward you – directly, slower than usual. More cautious. Like she’s not sure if she’s welcome.
You close your book quietly.
“Hi.” You beat her to it this time.
“Hey.” She stays standing a few feet from the counter, hand loosely twirling her hair. “I wasn’t sure if I should come today.”
You meet her eyes. “Why not?”
“You seemed
 done with me. Last time.”
You shake your head, exhaling through your nose. “I wasn’t done. Just... thinking.”
She gives a small nod, accepting that. Her gaze lingers on you, searching for a signal. Anything.
You give her one.
“You want to sit?” You ask, nodding towards the back reading nook.
Relief moves through her, quiet and clear.
“Yeah.” She says. “I’d like that.”


“You ever get tired of this place?” She asks, gesturing faintly around the room. The nook of course empty except for you both, occupying each side.
“Sometimes.” You admit. “But it’s predictable. And easy for now. I like that.”
She tilts her head. “You don’t strike me as someone who likes predictable.”
You smirk faintly. “Oh? What gave you that idea?”
“The fact that you’ve been giving me this look for two months and only talked to me after I practically backed you into a corner.”
You try to look unbothered, but she’s not wrong.
“You were intimidating.”
“I was reading Persuasion in sweatpants
”
You shrug. “Still counts. You’re like 6 foot tall. And really pretty.”
That earns a soft laugh. Her eyes linger on you a little longer than necessary.
Blushing, you change the subject. “So
 what made you finally pick law?”
She stumbles uncharacteristically, not expecting your question. “I – uh – what?
You chuckle at her. “Why’d you switch from psychology?”
Wanda blinks. You weren’t supposed to know that.
“You mentioned it.” You remind her. “Our first conversation. The one thing you had actually told me about yourself.”
“Oh. Right.” She rests her elbow on the armrest. “Well, I loved psychology. Still do. But at some point I realised I didn’t want to study behavior. Instead, I wanted to change the systems that shape it.”
You nod, quietly impressed. “That sounds like a very Wanda Maximoff answer.”
She gives you a curious look. “You say my full name like you’ve repeated it in your head a few times.”
You raise an eyebrow. “And you say mine like it’s a secret.”
She laughs, fully now, hands up in surrender. “Okay. Truce. No more calling each other out for the rest of the conversation.”
“Deal.”
You both settle into a steady rhythm. The conversation turns lighter. Books, favourite cities, law school horror stories. Wanda tells you about her first deposition and how she accidentally said ‘we object’ instead of just ‘objection’ because she got flustered by the opposing counsel’s cologne.
You don’t realise how long you’ve been talking until the light in the windows starts to shift. No one else has seemed to step in the library. If they did, neither of you noticed.
At one point, you shift slightly in your seat and she watches you with a subtle smile, eyes following the motion. She’s leaning in more now. Not physically – but her energy is tilted toward you again.
Familiar. Intentional.
“Do you do this with all the women in the romance aisle?” She asks casually, folding one leg under the other.
You raise an eyebrow. “What? Talk to them?”
“Sit with them. Ask about their careers. Quote Austen to them when you think they’re not listening.”
Your mouth curves. “Only the ones who hover too long on BrontĂ«.”
“Mm. Dangerous category.”
“You think?”
She leans forward a little, voice quieter now. “You tell me, little librarian.”
The silence after that isn’t awkward. It’s quiet. Interesting.
Wanda glances toward the desk, her phone lighting up at the exact moment, then back to you. “How long until your shift ends?”
You check your watch. “About twenty minutes. I’m closing today.”
“I can wait.” She says.
“For what?” You tilt your head subtly.
Wanda finds it adorable.
“Let's go for a walk near the park across the street.”
And twenty minutes later, you’re walking out the building. She holds the door open without saying anything, and you step through, turning to lock up.
The air outside is cooler than expected. It smells faintly like pavement and fresh rain.
When did it rain?
“You ready?” She asks.
You nod, before heading across the road towards the park entrance.


You walk side by side down the edge of the pavement, neither of you in a rush. The streets are quiet. Just a few parked cars and the occasional distant bark of a dog within the park.
Wanda tells you she grew up near a forest, which you somehow believe immediately. She says her family moved around a lot when she was younger, and that she didn’t really know stability until law school forced her to stay in one place. You can tell she is speaking much more freely with you now. No longer guarding her replies. A foreign accent slipping between the lines of her words.
At one point, she glances at you from the corner of her eye. “You always think this much?”
You give a half-smile. “You always talk like you already know what I’m thinking?”
“No,” she says, “but I’m usually close.”
That gets a small laugh out of you. Then the conversation shifts.
You don’t plan to ask. The words just arrive.
“So
 how are you finding it? Being a partner now?”
She looks ahead, hands tucked into her coat pockets.
“It’s good. Busy.”
“That’s it?”
Wanda exhales slowly. “It’s a lot of pressure. I mean, being a lawyer is always pressure, but there’s a different kind of expectation when your name’s next to the firm title. There’s less room to mess up. Less room to breathe, sometimes.”
You nod. “I imagine it’s intense. Especially with someone like T’Challa.”
“He’s fair.” She says. “Smart. Trusts his team.”
“Still. That’s a big adjustment.”
“It is.”
She doesn’t mention Natasha.
You don’t ask.
The name hovers there – unspoken but present.
Neither of you go near it.
You keep walking, turning down a quieter street shaded by rows of trees. A few brown leaves scatter across the sidewalk. The silence between you now feels heavier. Not awkward still – just fuller. Like there’s something there neither of you wants to admit you’re walking toward.
Eventually, Wanda slows, and you both come to a stop at a quiet corner. There’s no one around. No traffic. Just the wind nudging branches overhead.
She turns toward you, one hand still in her coat pocket, the other brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. Her expression is softer now, more private.
“You know,” she says quietly, “this has been the best part of my week.”
You feel it in your chest before you can respond. A quiet, nervous twist. “Yeah,” you murmur, “mine too.”
You’re both standing a little too close now.
Close enough that if either of you moved even an inch forward

Wanda shifts her weight slightly. Her voice drops, nearly a whisper. “I’ve been thinking about you more than I should.”
You swallow. “Wanda –”
Her hand brushes lightly against your sleeve. Her gaze flickers down to your mouth, just for a second, then back to your eyes. You feel everything tighten – lungs, throat, heartbeat.
The space between you thins to nothing.
She leans in, just enough that you can feel her breath on your skin.
Then you say it.
“Wanda,” you breathe. “You have a wife.”
The words land like a thread snapping in the air.
Wanda stops. Pulls back – not harshly, but all at once.
Her eyes flicker, just for a moment, like she wasn’t expecting you to say it out loud. Like she wanted to believe that, if you didn’t say it, maybe it wasn’t true here. Not in this moment. Not outside this library, not on this quiet street.
She looks away.
“I know.” She says. Quiet. Measured. Not defensive.
Neither of you moves.
The silence is different now.
You step back half a pace – not because you’re afraid of her, but because you need the room.
She straightens slightly. Clears her throat. “It’s complicated.”
You nod once, “But still. I’m not going to be the other woman.”
She lingers another second, another flinch. Then walks close once more, coat catching the breeze. “It’s – it’s not like that.”
She looks so unravelled, so unlike her.
“It’s not like that.” She repeats quietly. “What we have – it’s complicated, but it’s not what you think.”
You hesitate, still caught in the weight of her words.
What does she even mean?
How could it be complicated?
Wanda takes a slow breath. “Look
 if you want, come by our place sometime. Meet Natasha. See for yourself.”
You blink, caught off guard. That was not what you was expecting her to say.
She gives a small, hopeful smile. “No pressure. Just
 maybe it’ll help clear things up.”
You nod slowly, unsure what to say.
With that, she passes you her phone, and asks you to put your number in. “I’ll text you later. We’ll set up something, okay?”
Once that’s done, she steps back, offering a last, quiet smile before bidding you goodbye, and turning down the street.
You watch her go, your mind racing.
What have you got yourself into?

Astro Observations pt. 3
Tumblr media
Hi there! So here comes another astro observations post. But before I have to rant. Man
uni is kicking me in the butt (average engineering student). Like wdym I have a month till my finals and I have a research paper, 3 projects, 2 lab reports, 2 Tests and one lab exam due. And I have to start studying for my finals as well. ßč ᯅ ßč
These observations are based on my personal experiences so don’t take it as full facts. These placements can also be influenced by other things in someone’s chart like degrees, houses and aspects. Also if u have any suggestions for what content you’d like to see feel free to let me know. English is not my first language lads so don’t drag me for grammatical errors. xoxo
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Venus trine Ascended aspect: how does it feel to be life’s favourite . Like these people just have it like that. They are genuinely beautiful people and while that can manifest as conventional attractive, from my personal experience, their beauty is very unique , depending on other aspects in their chart. But whatever style of beauty they have, they embody it fully and they turn eyes wherever they go. Also these are the type of people who’s beauty is influenced by how they feel about themselves so if you practice self love and acceptance then that’s when you radiate the most.
Pluto 10h: huuuuge issues with authority figures. Mostly these people fall into 2 categories. First one, they always feel suppressed but push back therefore getting into arguments with those authority figures. Second one, they feel suppressed but don’t say anything, they prefer to lay low and not confront those issues. Overall for each case it’s a heavy placement and causes heavy friction in your life. These people also almost 100% have (or had) a lot of arguments with their parents. BUT, if you channel this energy by learning how to play the cards you’ve been dealt and manipulate situations without coming so upfront then this placement is so powerful, especially in regards to career. CEO energy. These people rlly would much rather work for themselves. I could go on hours talking ab Pluto, but I’ll leave it for another post because this planet is so interesting and people need to learn how to harness its energy better.
Lilith Gemini: worst nightmare for these people? Being perceived as dumb. They will rather be called ugly, weird etc. than being called stupid. And the best part? They aren’t stupid at all. Their most cunning aspect? Their intelligence. For some, they might’ve actually been perceived as slow when younger but worked hard just to not be associated with that imagine anymore.
4th house in Gemini: for a lot of these people, their home never felt that welcoming when young. This placement indicated a home/environment where growing intellectually/academically was very important (more important than their emotional state). Geminis 4th house experienced a lot of shame regarding their grades in their home/school or faced immense pressure to be “the first in class”. Also, this placement can be harder to navigate because due to the lack of support they might’ve felt in their environment. I wanna give you guys a big hug, seriously. You are more than your academics. Lots of love to yous xoxo
Venus trine Pluto: these people are magnetic. They are also mostly perceived way differently than they are (kinda sad tbh). So many people with this placement are hard to approach, even if they are genuinely nice people, at least once in their life, someone told them they look intimidating. This placement might not get hit on as much because of it. People tend to have fantasies regarding this collective, specifically in the house of your Pluto. For example if you have a Pluto in the 2nd house, they might fantasise about you taking them out for a shopping spree or them taking you out and spoiling you. If you have Pluto 10th house, then maybe they are very attracted to your work persona and might fantasise about some forbidden work love. You get the point. This placement is very intense but it can attract unhealthy relationships. You need to learn your toxic pattern and make sure you do not repeat it.
Tumblr media
I hope you guys enjoyed this as well! I will be diversifying my content soon, I just had some more placements I wanted to talk about before I start smth new. Also I don’t have that many observations today since I have been focused on writing another Astro blog that is coming soon (I am so exited). Before my next astro observations post I’ll need to gather more info (aka psychoanalyse all my friends and the people around me)
Till next time xoxo

hihihihi i literally love ur writing smmmm like i actually need it sb. any time you post ik it’s gonna be peak literature đŸ™‚â€â†•ïž
anyhowwww, i wanted to request an arcane fic with a university au viktor x reader where viktor and reader are like academic rivals or wtv and they’re always bickering but viktor rlly wants to be her friend and doesn’t want to be rivals. sooo he tries like anything he can and as reader eventually warms up to him another guy comes along (maybe jayce or smth idk? or it can just be a random) and becomes their friend like almost instantly and viktor is JEALOUSSSS and envious and just ufhfhhffhhfghhf i need that sb.
it can be nsfw or sfw i literally do not care i just need that plot paired with your writing and ik it’s gonna be an absolute masterpiece.
Hey, love! You know what I'm gonna say, right? Sorry for the long wait. This will have 3 chapters, like for real, not like the other one that now is looking more like 5. I'm gonna say a few things got changed here, because I forgot the essence of the request while writing, but the general message is: Viktor is bad at flirting.

Tightrope - Ch. 1.
viktorxfemale!reader mature (overall explicit), frenemies/academic rivals to lovers, modern university AU
Ch.2. | Ch.3.
word count: 5,9K
tag: #tightrope
summary: You and Viktor are tethering the line between friendship and rivalry, Jayce being one amongst the few common factors you both acknowledge (of course more is there but for the smart people you are, you tend to be very stupid about things). Oh, and you have to do a project together.
author's note: I have a very poor name vocabulary sorry. Here's another Joe, this time he's a dude :v thank you @rennethen for beta reading and bearing through my shit with such grace. One trick pony here we go!
also the artist behind art is here!
Cross-posted on AO3
—
You squint as your eyes scan the list of projects for Heimerdinger’s class. And since the professor is just and fair, like a nice old man who has seen it all, you already know what to expect. But you check anyway.
He wouldn’t pair you—the almost top-of-the-class student, fighting desperately with your feet and elbows to stay there—with someone undeserving. This little annoying thing in the back of your head called hope still glows faintly, last embers about to die as you’ve read through almost all names known to you except for yours.
And as a bucket of cold water gets thrown over the ashen pieces of coal, you find it. And oh—
Of course. Next to it, your least favourite name. Of course, just
 great. This is great. This is fine.
The last time you worked together, it ended with a lot of papercuts, pencils flying, and Jayce using notebooks and blackboards as shields—not to mention a tiny explosion because neither of you could agree on proportions.
So, like the responsible classmate you are, you make one final, desperate attempt to convince the nice little man to change your partner. For the sake of public safety and the well-being of everyone who steps foot on Academy grounds.
You are also nice and well-behaved, so even though the door to the classroom is open, you knock on the doorframe before disturbing the professor.
“Ah! I would lie if I said I wasn’t expecting you to show up. Please, come in!” he exclaims, and you have to stop yourself from rolling your eyes in sheer existential pain. If he already knows what you want, you already know how this is going to go.
Still, you press forward, stepping inside and clasping your hands behind your back in what you hope is a diplomatic stance. “Professor, I was wondering if—by any chance, purely hypothetically—there’s a possibility to switch partners for the project?”
Heimerdinger folds his arms behind his back, looking up at you with the kind of patient amusement that makes you feel like a child asking for extra dessert before finishing dinner. “Ah, yes. I was almost certain you’d ask that,” he says, nodding sagely. “And before you say anything else, I do hope you won’t drop out of my class if I say no.”
You open your mouth, ready to assure him that you would never be so dramatic—except that’s exactly what you were about to say, just in different words.
Before you can recover, Heimerdinger raises a hand and continues. “This project is worth thirty percent of your final mark,” he states, his voice gentle but firm. “I am, of course, aware of the... tension between you and Viktor.” His moustache twitches slightly, betraying a hint of amusement. “However, I must ensure fairness in all assignments. There will be no one riding on someone else’s back in my class.”
You exhale sharply through your nose. “Professor, with all due respect, we nearly set a classroom on fire last time—”
“The most beautiful diamonds,” he interjects, tilting his head with a knowing smile, “are shaped under pressure.”
You stare at him, jaw tight. He stares back, completely at ease.
Fantastic. Just fantastic.
“I—” you gulp on air, searching for words. Finally, a breath of surrender escapes you and you deflate completely, saying only, “Thank you for your time.”
Seeing your sagged chest and fingers grasping the edge of your notebook tightly, Heimerdinger offers you a consolation. “I know I seem ancient to you, child. But trust me when I say, I do remember what it’s like to be young, and a little bit of friendly rivalry can be transformed into something truly groundbreaking. Think Newton and Hooke! Tesla and Edison! Bohr and Einstein! All of them were in quandaries that led to further discoveries!”
While Heimerdinger lists off pairs of rival geniuses, completely different names surface in your mind, unspoken but undeniable. Verlaine and Rimbaud. Love and Cobain. Sid and Nancy. Bonnie and Clyde. You are convinced those are the dynamics that loom over you and Viktor—just without all the feelings, of course.
And if only you were just competitors, like Bohr and Einstein, things would be so much simpler.
From the very first meeting, Viktor had been cold and reserved, his sharp tongue laced with enough venom to wither anyone foolish enough to challenge him. But if there was one thing you had to do to stay afloat in this sea of STEM sausages, it was dare. And challenge.
You still remember that moment vividly. How you almost stumbled when Jayce introduced you—because gods, he was gorgeous. An angular face that looked carved from marble, warm amber eyes framed by a fall of auburn hair. A boy so unfairly pretty that, had you met him a few years earlier, you would have fallen hard.
Your eyes swept him from head to toe before you slipped your hand into his, and for a single, traitorous moment, something fluttered in your chest. A rush of warmth, unexpected and unfamiliar.
Then you blurted out your name with an embarrassing stutter—
And the magic shattered the second Viktor opened his sweet mouth.
"Charmed," he drawled, but the dryness in his voice suggested the opposite. His gaze flicked over you in a quick, assessing glance before he tilted his head towards Jayce. "Is she another one of your projects, or does she actually know what she’s doing?"
The warmth in your chest evaporated instantly, replaced by a sharp spike of irritation.
Oh. Oh. So that’s how this was going to go.
With a weak smile, you thank Professor Heimerdinger, and your mind is so out of it that you almost curtsy—which you hastily disguise as an awkward bow. Nearly stumbling over your own feet, you literally fall out of the classroom, colliding with something big and solid.
“Careful there! Hi, oh—” A surprised voice reaches your ears, followed by a strong arm steadying you. “Hi there. Hi, um. You alright?”
Either he’s a halfwit or completely smitten with you, because his articulation leaves much to be desired. Not that you're one to judge, given your current coordination.
“Hi, sorry. Just a small
 miscalculation.” You smile sheepishly and extend your hand out of habit, instinctively introducing yourself to your unexpected saviour. After all, that’s how you met Jayce.
“I’m Joe,” he says in one breath, your much smaller hand completely disappearing in his massive palm. “It’s nice to meet you.” He chuckles, a blush blooming across his cheeks—so unabashed, his eyes glinting—and oh.
Nice, you catch yourself thinking in the most obscene, ludicrous way as you zero in on his chest, the tight team T-shirt clinging to it.
“Eh, it’s nice to meet you too.” You grin, nodding, and blink stupidly, batting your eyelashes, not entirely sure what’s happening.
Before you get a chance to unglue the dumbfounded smile from your face and actually say something more, Jayce’s voice rings through the corridor, your name echoing off the walls.
“There you are! Oops! Making new friends? Don’t mind her, this is her love language.”
Jayce—the oblivious Jayce, a man so naïve it would never cross his mind what he is doing to someone you literally just met thirty seconds ago. Mortification is too weak a word to describe what you feel inside.
“Jayce!” You smack his chest and shake your head in disbelief. “Don’t mind him, he’s an ass.”
And as if poor Joe doesn’t have enough on his plate already, another voice bombards him, and you’re certain he’s beginning to regret ever catching you.
“Hello. Are you a new face in Heimerdinger’s class?” Viktor asks, wearing that redundant smirk, his voice stretching into a deliberate, chewy, gross thing that makes you scowl. Just outright cruel.
“Heh, no, I just happened to catch your friend,” Joe answers without missing a beat. “And
 I was hoping I could get her number.”
And that just. Does it.
You nod faster than you think, already reaching for his phone, clumping your number in there with sticky, shaky fingers and a stupid blush creeping up your neck. You avoid Jayce’s and Viktor’s eyes, but oh boy, you can feel both pairs drilling into you almost viscerally. Viktor’s especially—those fucking yellow embers burning right through you from under furrowed brows.
You flash Joe one last smile and a very awkward, very hurried, “Call me,” not knowing what has gotten into you. Then you let Jayce sweep you away toward your usual route to the cafeteria, while Viktor strolls behind, full of graceful disdain.
“So, I saw the tables, and
” Jayce clears his throat, chattering into your ear. “I’ve seen the pairs! We can share a lab, I’m paired with Sky!”
“Yeah, I know.” You sigh and pat his shoulder—a touch saying more than a thousand words. Words that say how much you can’t wait for another round of throwing objects at Viktor, while Jayce scrambles to catch anything that might hurt Sky.
“Oh, are you not happy about the distribution of projects?” Viktor asks, a small smile playing at his lips.
“The project is fine. The distribution
 I’m sure you understand.” You throw him an acidic smirk, your eyes empty of any emotion save for one slow blink. Neural Interface for Prosthetics is actually an incredibly good project—Heimerdinger got you there, and you couldn’t be more grateful. Well, maybe you could be just a little more grateful had he paired you with Jayce or Sky.
“Eh, you will forgive me, but I do not.” Viktor pauses and looks at you—challenging you. And you really hate it, because it works. “I do not wish to have the project jeopardized by something silly, as the topic itself aligns with my interests.”
“I’m sure the feeling is mutual, Viktor. Can we please eat? I am about to eat one of you if we don’t go to the cafeteria right now,” you sigh, exasperated, and your stomach growls to support your claim.
“You can eat me!” Jayce lands face down between your bickering, and you just laugh, completely disarmed.
Once you finally sit down, Viktor simply opens a book next to his tray, ignoring both you and Jayce completely—obviously sulking about something. Jayce, on the other hand, takes massive bites of his sandwich, staring at you intensely, as if willing you to spill the tea. When that doesn’t work, he speaks.
“So
 who’s the new guy?” he elbows you playfully and you can barely understand him with his mouth full. But his eyes say it all—he is dying to know.
"Jayce, you’re so transparent I almost can’t see you. Where are you, Jayce? Where did you go?" You wave your hands around dramatically. He almost chokes. Viktor scoffs, unimpressed, barely glancing up from his book as he stirs sweetmilk into his coffee.
Once the immediate hazard of death by choking is under control, Jayce flashes one of those earnest grins—one that practically screams what a good person he is, full of pure intentions. "Oh, shut up. He seems nice, and I’m curious."
"He’s just a guy, nothing more," you hum, taking a sip of your coffee. And even though you have no idea if that little encounter will go anywhere, you can’t resist adding a pin. "Yet."
Viktor looks like he is holding back a scoff, so he just turns the page in his book with a violent sweep.
"Well
 do you like him?" Jayce presses, oblivious to the tension at the table. He’s just such a gossip girl.
You let out an incredulous laugh. "Are you alright? Why are you so interested?"
Jayce shrugs. "I don’t know, I always thought you’d end up with someone of equal
 interests?" Intelligence is what he really means. But that would be cruel. Just because a guy plays rugby doesn’t mean he’s brain damaged. Surely.
"Oh please, I hate STEM bros." You lean back in your chair, crossing your arms with an air of finality, as if that settles the matter. You do hate STEM bros. They are full of themselves, have no respect for women and look down on you.
Jayce raises an eyebrow, a slow, knowing grin spreading across his face. "Erm
 you are a STEM bro."
Viktor finally looks up from his book, watching you with the barest flicker of amusement in his eyes.
You gasp, pressing a hand to your chest as if mortally offended. "Jayce Talis! I am a lady! Not a bro!"
That is Viktor’s cue. “I don’t think that lack of testicles classifies you as a lady instantly,” he says in a deadpan voice.
And you don’t know what pushes your stupid mind to say it. Is it just muscle memory—your tongue snapping back whenever you talk to Viktor—or an actual intention to say something mean to him? You really don’t know. In one breath, you say, voice equally dead to his, “Of course not. If that were the case, you’d classify as a lady as well,” and watch the chaos unravel.
None of that happens, though. The underwhelming events carry on in painfully slow motion—Jayce’s eyes widening so much there’s a real threat they might never close again, while Viktor gulps his coffee with an agonisingly slow bob of his Adam’s apple. It’s only when he’s done that you realise he was fighting not to choke on it—because the next moment, he bursts into laughter, covering his face with his hand.
Jayce exhales the breath he was holding and laughs as well—you’re not sure if it’s at your joke or simply at the sight of Viktor laughing so openly, an event so rare it shouldn’t go uncherished. Despite yourself, you grin. Indeed, Viktor’s face—his eyes squeezed shut to the point of a tear slipping from beneath his long lashes, smile lines filling out his hollowed cheeks, his teeth bared in an uninhibited cackle—is a sight to behold.
The stupid thing in your chest stutters, as Viktor wheezes and lowers his hand to rest on yours. “Remind me to never cross you again. Merciless is an understatement,” he says, barely, with a really warm smile and you find yourself blushing again, for the second time in a mere hour. Because of two different boys.
And as any moment made of pure magic in the history of magical moments, this one doesn’t last either. It gets violently interrupted by a buzz of your phone on the table.
If you wanna take a stroll, I have a free period now :) We can meet by the fountain. Joe, in case you wonder who this is :)
And your blush deepens. You calculate options in your mind and soon decide on the what the hell one. “I’m gonna scram boys. See you in the lab after class?”
“Yes. Please bring the less
 distracted version of yourself if you can,” Viktor states and all the warmth evaporates from him at once. Back to the usual version of himself—sharp wit, balancing on the verge of cutting.
As you mumble an absent, “I’ll do my best,” and wave them goodbye, Jayce returns to his sandwich and sighs knowingly.
“You know
 wouldn’t kill you to be a little bit nicer,” Jayce says, leaning forward on his elbows. His voice is casual, but there’s an edge of curiosity beneath it, like he’s prodding at something fragile just to see if it will break.
“This is me being nice,” Viktor replies in a neutral tone, lifting his coffee to his lips. The steam curls around his face as he takes a slow sip, his expression unmoving. He is being nice. He is trying to be nice. It’s just sometimes completely impossible to be nice to you when you get like this. Distracted. He scoffs to himself. It’s a strange friendship you have there, but it’s a friendship nevertheless—or so he likes to think.
Jayce studies him, his gaze sharp despite the lazy way he’s chewing the inside of his cheek. “No, that is just you being
 well, you,” he says bluntly, tilting his head as if he’s considering whether to push further. “Being a dick is not a way to a lady’s heart.”
Viktor arches a brow, unimpressed. “Excuse me, but have we experienced the same scene? I was the one being offended and laughed it off like a gentleman, thank you.” He gestures vaguely with his cup, his fingers tightening just slightly around the ceramic.
Jayce narrows his eyes. “Then why are you so annoyed in the first place?”
“I am not annoyed,” Viktor states flatly, setting his coffee down with a little more force than necessary. He smooths his hands over his sweater as he rises from his seat, already turning away before Jayce can open his mouth again. “I am great. I am so great, in fact, that I will go and start working on that project. See you, Jayce.”
And then he just strides off, his cane tapping against the floor, leaving Jayce mid-sentence with his mouth open, eyes blinking slowly.
Of course, he is not annoyed. Maybe only slightly—and only because you’ve somehow managed to gain another distraction in your life right before you were about to start working on the biggest project of the year. And it’s just, well, fucking annoying.
***
When you glance at your watch, you yelp and press a hand to your forehead. “Fucking hell,” you mutter under your breath before breaking into a sprint toward the lab.
Viktor is going to kill you—especially since there’s no way to prove you were caught up in something important.
Because, well, you weren’t. It was Joe who took up all your time this afternoon. And he is
 surprisingly nice. And smart.
You hadn’t expected that.
What started as a casual conversation somehow stretched into something far longer, the minutes slipping away unnoticed. He had opinions on films—actual opinions, not just generic statements about “liking action movies.” He had read some of the same books as you and even suggested a few you begrudgingly admitted sounded interesting. Sports came up, of course, but he spoke about them with a self-awareness that made it bearable. And when the conversation dipped into politics, he didn’t say anything that made you want to throw your coffee in his face. That alone was impressive.
It was
 weirdly comfortable. Easy, even. Even when he lingered.
Joe’s gaze held onto you a second longer than necessary, like he was memorising the way you looked when you laughed. And when he hugged you goodbye, his arms stayed around you for just a breath too many. The slow way he untangled himself from you made it clear that if you hadn’t pulled away first, he wouldn’t have been the one to let go.
Shaking off the last remnants of Joe from your thoughts, you push through the heavy lab doors with a hurried stumble, your breath still uneven from the rush.
“Sorry, I’m late, guys—” The words die in your throat as you take in the empty room.
Only Viktor.
He stands at the workbench, sleeves pushed up, hands meticulously adjusting the placement of various tools and notes. At the sound of your voice, he pauses but doesn’t turn around immediately. The rhythmic ticking of the clock fills the silence, marking the seconds you take to process the situation.
No Jayce. No Sky. Just Viktor, and the sharp scent of metal and oil clinging to the air.
“Glad you could make it,” he remarks, finally turning his head just enough to glance at you. His voice is even, but something about it feels... off. You can’t tell if he’s irritated or merely stating a fact. Maybe both.
“Sorry,” you sigh, setting your things down with a thud. “I lost track of time.”
“With your new himbo.” It isn’t a question.
You hesitate for a fraction of a second. “Yes. And his name is Joe, Viktor, not a new himbo.”
Viktor hums—a short, unimpressed sound—and resumes his work, carefully aligning a set of blueprints. Somehow, his silence feels louder than an argument.
“Okay,” you say hesitantly, more to yourself than to him, or rather into the empty space between you and Viktor, which seems to be expanding with each passing second.
“And where are Jayce and Sky?”
“They managed to sketch out the roadmap for themselves in the time you spent with Joe and decided they needed the library for further planning,” Viktor replies flatly, still not looking at you. The way he deliberately keeps his gaze averted only emphasises how much has been accomplished in your presumably very long moment of indulgence. How nice.
“Alright, would you like me to crucify myself, or do you want the honours?” Impatience gets the better of you, and you fold your arms tightly across your chest.
At that, Viktor’s hands still over the workbench. His head tilts ever so slightly in your direction, though his gaze remains fixed on the floor, as if acknowledging you fully would be a waste of effort.
“I am merely stating a fact,” he says, his voice low, clipped. “This is more important than some affairs, I’ll have you know.”
“Oh, really, Viktor?” You let out a sharp laugh, shaking your head. “And here I thought thirty percent of my grade was worth sacrificing for some sloppy making out—but thank you so much for finally making me see the error of my ways.”
That makes him look.
And he is angry.
His head snaps up, eyes narrowing, gears visibly grinding in his mind as he weighs whether you’re just riling him up or—God forbid—whether you actually have made out with Joe.
His jaw tightens. “Just get to work already, will you?”
You say nothing, only flash him an acrid smile before reaching for your goggles on the workbench.
The two of you work in almost deafening silence, broken only by the occasional exchange of necessary questions and answers. You retrieve materials while Viktor arranges the workspace, and you scribble down the general plan on the blackboard, the tension in the air palpable.
Each time the chalk screeches against the surface, Viktor visibly winces, hissing under his breath and sinking his head between his shoulders in an exaggerated display of agony.
You roll your eyes but say nothing.
“Could you maybe try a little harder to make it less cacographic?” he mutters, irritation creeping into his voice.
The suddenness of it startles you just as you’re making another stroke, and the chalk lets out a bone-chilling whine against the board.
Viktor flinches violently, covering his ears. “For fuck’s sake,” he grumbles, voice muffled behind his palms. “Let me do it.” He steps forward, reaching for the chalk without hesitation.
You anticipate the move, tucking your arm behind your back in defiance. A childish gesture, maybe, but if he’s going to be an ass about it, you’re not about to make it easy for him.
He doesn’t stop. He closes the distance between you in a few sharp steps, his expression taut with frustration. Before you can react, his fingers wrap around your wrist—tight, unrelenting. He pries your hand forward and gives a firm shake, forcing your fingers to unclench until the chalk drops neatly into his waiting palm.
A sharp twinge shoots up your arm. It’s not painful exactly, but it’s close enough to make you wince.
Snatching your hand back, you massage your wrist, eyes narrowing. “What the hell is wrong with you?”
For a brief second, something flickers across Viktor’s face—regret, maybe. But it’s gone as quickly as it came, buried beneath the same rigid composure he always wears like armour. He doesn’t apologise. Doesn’t even acknowledge it. Instead, he turns to the board and begins writing, his tone stripped of anything resembling warmth.
“I want to wrap this up before tomorrow,” he says flatly, chalk gliding across the surface with sharp, efficient strokes. “And you are being thoroughly incompetent. I told you to bring yourself not distracted.”
You let out a sharp scoff. “Okay, I am so sorry I was late. I’ll stay longer and finish up whatever we don’t get done in time. But you are outdoing yourself in being a complete twat today.”
You don’t wait for a response. Instead, you march over to the workbench, hands immediately finding the prototype components. If you focus on the task, maybe you won’t be tempted to launch something at Viktor’s insufferable head.
“Oh please, I do not trust anything you do without supervision,” Viktor says, scribbling quietly on the board, somehow making a point out of it.
“Viktor, are you serious right now? We literally have the same grades,” you huff, leaning over the table to pick up the components you need. You do your best to tune him out—his bickering is only distracting, and you need to rewire the prototype from the previous project.
Overall, the task is simple enough. The device is built around an EEG-based neural interface—a system that reads electrical activity in the brain and translates it into signals that can control a mechanical limb. In practical terms, the user wears a headband fitted with electrodes that detect neural impulses associated with movement. These signals then travel through a processing unit, which refines the input before transmitting it to the prosthetic itself.
That’s the easy part. The rest, well.
The prototype you’re working on today is a refinement of an earlier model. The previous iteration had suffered from signal lag and inconsistent responsiveness—issues you’re hoping to correct by integrating a new set of circuits and refining the algorithm for noise reduction.
You grab the headband from the pile of equipment, turning it over in your hands. It should work just fine if you tweak the wiring to accommodate the new design. Without thinking too much about it, you start securing the circuits, fingers working on autopilot as you weave the delicate wires through the correct channels.
Or at least, you think they’re correct—until Viktor’s voice cuts through your focus again.
“Are you even listening to me? What are you doing?” His tone is sharp, irritated—like he’s already asked this more than once.
Your expression tightens as he strides over to the bench, clearly unimpressed. “I just rewired it. Nothing too complex,” you mutter, adjusting a loose wire before reaching for the power switch.
Viktor doesn’t look convinced. He picks up the headband, turning it over in his hands with a scrutinising gaze. “Nothing too complex,” he repeats dryly. “Yes, because neural interfaces are famously simple. I’d rather be sure. Show me.”
You roll your eyes but oblige, reaching over and flipping the switch.
The reaction is instant.
A sharp jolt cracks through the air, followed by a strangled, almost undignified yelp as Viktor jerks back, dropping the headband as if it has burned him. His entire body stiffens, fingers twitching violently for a brief second before he stumbles, gripping the workbench for support, blinking rapidly.
Your mouth falls open. “Oh—shit—Viktor—”
He exhales sharply, pressing a hand to his chest, his face twisted in a grimace. “Wonderful,” he grits out. “So that’s what you rewired.”
“God, I’m so sorry,” you mumble, rushing to him, ignoring the sharpness of his tone. Your hands instinctively cup his face as you lean in. He blinks, startled, his mouth parting at the sudden concern—your brows furrowed, eyes searching his face for any sign of lingering pain, thumbs brushing over his cheekbones. “Are you okay?”
“No,” he says flatly. “You’ve electrocuted me.” His hands move to seize your wrists, but you twist away before he can. Your palms return to his face, fingers framing him gently, and Viktor’s breath hitches.
“I didn’t mean to,” you whisper, voice genuine. You are truly sorry, the worry overriding all the anger you had for him mere seconds ago. And Viktor has no idea how to react to this. He stands there, breath unsteady, before muttering, “I’m fine.”
You blink, straightening, and Viktor is almost ready to exhale in relief—until your hands shift again, this time pressing against his chest and back, cradling his heart between your palms. You stand beside him, hands firm but careful, instinct guiding you more than knowledge. You don’t even know if this is what you’re supposed to do for someone who’s been electrocuted, but it’s the only thing that comes to mind.
His heart thunders beneath your touch. The silence is so heavy you can hear yourself gulp on the lump in your throat. You don’t hate him that much, and you hope he knows it.
Finally, Viktor speaks, his breath still rattling. “Well, would you look at that. So there is kindness in your touch after all.” He tries to sound wicked, but there is no venom in his voice.
“Viktor, you bastard. When have I not been kind to you?” you respond playfully, your hands still pressed against him.
“Ah, well. When you implied my alleged castration is the first that comes to mind. But rest assured, my testicles are good and well. I’d show you, but I’m afraid someone has already filled this position in your life,” he trails off, slipping back into his seemingly unbothered attitude.
“You’ve got to be kidding me,” you groan, rolling your eyes. Still, your fingers linger, as if trying to determine whether his heartbeat is elevated from the shock or something else entirely. Or is it always like this? You don’t dare to ask.
Viktor tilts his head, watching you. “What about?”
“Any of it. You make me fucking gag,” you scoff, finally sliding your hands off him.
“Not yet—but I could.”
You barely have time to register the shift before he catches your hand, his thumb pressing against your palm. A slight twitch makes your fingers curl around his.
“You could what?”
“Make you gag.” The words slip out just as a smirk blooms on his face, faster than he can think to stop either. He can’t tell if he regrets them immediately.
The figurative pin drops. A high-pitched whine rings in your ears. Viktor’s gaze is drilled into you, thumb still pressing into your palm.
Your eyes widen, but you don’t miss a beat. “Well, would you look at that. So there is kindness in you after all,” you murmur.
“Ah, for you. Only kindness, nothing else,” Viktor hums, his voice a low purr as his thumb idly circles the centre of your palm. His grip is loose enough that you could pull away, yet you don’t. His eyes flicker with something unreadable—something that makes your breath catch before you force yourself to scoff.
“Yeah, right.”
His smirk deepens. “When have I not been kind to you?”
“Like
 ever?” You raise a brow, tilting your head as if you’re genuinely considering it. “You mock me. You think I’m outright stupid and don’t deserve my spot in class. You constantly correct me and fight me over solutions. You hate working with me, scoff at me, and laugh me out in front of Jayce. And Sky.”
Viktor clicks his tongue, his fingers squeezing yours ever so slightly. “Such is my love language.”
You huff and roll your eyes. “Oh, forget it.” You finally try to pull your hand away, but Viktor doesn’t let go just yet, his grip tightening for half a second before he releases you—only for his cane to hook lightly around your wrist, stopping you mid-motion.
“Wait.” His voice is softer now, coaxing. When you glance at him, there’s something else in his gaze, something warmer, but it’s masked beneath that ever-present air of a prank. “I almost died, you shouldn’t leave me.”
You gape at him. “Viktor—”
“Alright, alright! I surrender.” He chuckles, but there’s something breathless in it. His fingers twitch against his cane. “Wait. Please.”
The sudden plea stills you. Your heart stumbles over itself before you swallow and straighten your posture, crossing your arms in an attempt to shake the feeling off.
Viktor exhales, dragging a hand through his hair before returning his gaze to you. “I do not mock you or laugh you out. I simply jest—I do that with Jayce all the time. You should have noticed by now.”
You purse your lips, unimpressed.
“I do not correct you,” he continues, his voice lilting, as if this is all some grand performance. “I offer you my point of view. And I do not fight you—I simply enjoy some intellectual sparring. Not many can provide one that satisfies me.”
Your fingers twitch, nerves sparking beneath your skin at the way he says satisfies, but you ignore it. Instead, you level him with a flat stare.
“You’re just gaslighting me at this point, Viktor. At least give me a head start before you snap my neck with this thing one day.” You tap the end of his cane with a pointed look.
Viktor grins—slow, wicked. His weight shifts, allowing the cane to rest a little heavier against your wrist, his fingers curling just slightly around the handle.
“Oh, come now. That would be far too merciful.”
Your stomach flips, and you hate that it does.
“Are you going to be good to me now?” Viktor asks, his voice so low you barely hear it, but the weight of it settles deep in your chest.
He takes a step closer, and your breath catches when you feel it—his exhale, warm against your skin, ghosting over your lips. His fingers brush against your wrist, the same one he had seized not long ago. A touch that lingers.
“You have almost killed me, after all.” You watch his lips twisted in a smile you’ve never seen before. And it scares you for some reason.
“Stop this,” you say, firmer than you expected, yanking your hand away. You clutch it to your chest like a wound, like something fragile he might pry apart if given the chance.
Viktor tilts his head, eyes sharp with curiosity. “Why?”
Your throat tightens. “You know goddamn well why.” You take a step back, shaking your head, something bitter curling in your gut. “I am not your project, you dick.”
Viktor’s expression shifts—his smirk falters, lips parting slightly as if caught off guard. “Hey, that is not what I meant—”
But you don’t let him finish. You pivot on your heel, retreating towards the door, your pulse hammering in your ears. You need distance. The lab suddenly feels too small, the air too thick, charged with something neither of you were prepared for.
Behind you, Viktor’s voice follows, just a step behind. “Wait—”
You don’t.
The door swings shut behind you, and Viktor is left standing in the empty lab, staring after where you had just been.
A long exhale leaves him, and he runs a hand through his hair, muttering under his breath,
“Well, damn. That backfired.”
He frowns to himself, rolling his jaw as if trying to make sense of what just happened—of what he just did.
And for the first time in a long while, Viktor realises he doesn’t have a formula for this.

smth short and sweet for my bebe fumaaaaa!! à«źê’°â—ž ˕ ◟ àŸ€àœČ꒱ა
@corruphted’s blog!
cw : no explicit smut but a small reference to masturbation obsessed slightly creepy fuma x reader
He looked so innocent, a nerd obsessed with pokemon, seemingly harmless. His frames sat comfortably on his nose as he watched you, watched as you interacted with your friends, a feeling that could only be described as jealousy settled within his stomach as he watched a certain somebody, Koga Yudai, laugh a little too loudly at your jokes, smile a little too widely in your direction and try and discreetly move his chair closer towards yours. Fuma hated it, he hated him. He didn't know you, not in the way Fuma knew. Does he know your order at your favourite coffee shop, does he know it changes depending on your classes that day, does he know the specific shade of pink nail polish you loved so much, does he know that every night before bed you touch your little pussy, claiming that it helps you sleep better. Kei did not know you at all. Whereas, Fuma yearned for you, yearned to be the one to make you giggle, smile, come. And he was sure the feelings were reciprocated, why else would you look over and smile at him?, tuck a stray piece of your hair behind your ear all whilst maintaining eye contact with him. You wanted him and it was only a matter of time before he made you his.

The sky was a clear blue that day.
Transferring to a new school and a new city comes with its fair share of both excitement and nerves. This place wasn't as polluted as where you had previously lived. You had your head peeking out the window in the backseat as the car drove, the wind flowing through your hair.
All was going smoothly until some boy who looked about your age, perhaps older, drove past in a motorcycle. As both the boy and the car you were in stopped at a red light, the boy revealed his eyes to you. Just his eyes.
"Don't do that. I almost knocked off your head."
A mere second of eye contact.
A skip of your heartbeat.
And as the traffic light turned green, you watched as the love of your life and his pretty brown eyes drove off.
Your heart sunk. This was a large city. There's no way you'll ever see him again.
Until your first day of school rolled around. You introduced yourself in front of the class, and all that usual first day of school stuff.
You didn't notice him at first, but as you scanned the classroom for all the new faces you'd be forced to either befriend or put up with, you saw a set of deep brown eyes that was all too familiar.
"Cha Woomin", his nametag read.
From that day on, you did anything to make Woomin like you. You weren't exactly subtle about it, and you knew it. But it didn't matter to you, as long as he would like you back, or at least remember you from the other day. You found out his favourite snack was Pepero, so you would always leave Pepero and other snacks on his desk. You'd help him with schoolwork, do him favours... Pretty much anything in the hopes that he'd like you back.
Except... he didn't.
Worse, he rejected you. Multiple times.
They weren't full blown rejections. You'd never confessed to him, but whenever you tried to, he'd make up some excuse not to hear it. If you asked to meet up with him in private, he'd say he was busy. If you texted him, he'd leave you on seen.
But you weren't going to give up. Not that easily. You had thought you'd never see Woomin again, and yet fate had brought him here to you. That had to mean something.
Sunshine turned to rainy days, and the skies started to grow grey with rainclouds. Despite rejecting you, Woomin wasn't all that distant. He'd still accept the snacks you gave him, and he'd still let you talk to him, although he'd never actually pay attention to what you said. He seemed to always be subtly displeased with you.
You always wondered if maybe Woomin found you annoying, or even hated you, but you told yourself that you were just jumping to bad conclusions.
Or maybe not.
"I finished the worksheet for you! If you ever need help, just let me know... the formula works like-" "Can you shut up?"
You went silent. It felt like a crack had formed in your heart. An indescribable, tiny but sharp pain.
"Okay." You said. A simple, one word answer.
Maybe he did find you annoying.
Maybe he did... hate you.
From that day on, you stopped leaving snacks at his desk. Stopped helping him with his homework. You didn't even talk to him or look at him anymore. And at break one rainy day, you sat in the classroom with your cousin Hyunwook, ranting to him about how you'd wasted all your time and effort on Woomin, all while munching on the Pepero you would've left on his desk. The bell rang, and you made your way to your final class of the day.
Sitting at your desk, you overheard a conversation between Woomin and his best friend Jiho.
"Y/N's really cute. I kinda like her," Jiho gushed. "She's cute, and smart, and-
"Shut up. She's not cute or smart. She's really nothing. You can do better then her."
The crack in your heart grew bigger and more painful.
Nothing? Is that what you were to him?
As soon as the bell rang, you grabbed your things and left the classroom, running to the rooftop where you could be alone.
The rain was heavy. So heavy that if anyone saw you, they wouldn't notice the tears that fell from your eyes, like raindrops from the thunderstorm that was your emotions. It was like your feelings had materialised as the weather.
You collapsed onto the floor, sobbing. You were nothing to him. Not even a friend, not even an accquaintance. Nothing.
Your tears couldn't be hidden anymore as the rain stopped.
...No, that's not it. It was still raining. But something covered you from the rain.
Wiping your eyes and looking up, you saw Woomin standing over you, holding his umbrella.
He crouched down to your level, and using one arm to hold the umbrella over your head, he held the other one out to embrace you.
Sobbing into his chest, in his arms, made you feel a bit better.
"W-Why.... I thought... I was nothing to you..."
Woomin sighed. It seemed he had a lot to get off his chest.
"You were the girl with her head out of the car window, weren't you?"
Your breath caught in your throat. He remembers you from that one fateful day.
He then inhaled, as if he was going to say something that meant a lot to him.
"I... like you too."
What?
You stopped burying your face in his chest to look up at him.
"I just... I didn't want to get too attached. And I don't even think I deserve you after how I acted... But... I didn't think you'd move on so quickly."
"What do you mean?"
You didn't know the half of it.
You didn't know how Woomin got flustered around you. How he'd seen you with Hyunwook and gotten jealous, not knowing that he was your cousin. How he didn't want Jiho crushing on you.
You didn't know he had also felt his heart skip a beat as the wind blew through your hair, when his eyes met yours as he rode his motorcycle that one day.
"I saw you with Hyunwook and-"
"He's my cousin, don't worry..."
Woomin looked into your eyes. He seemed... sad. Disappointed in himself, like he regretted something.
"I'm sorry for being so mean." he blurted out. "I just- I didn't know how to express my feelings... and I thought I wasn't worthy of your love... I mean, you still wanted me after I treated you so badly... I.... I'm sorry. Truly sorry. I want to make it up to-"
"I love you, Woomin."
He knew, but you'd never actually said it out loud. Not until now.
"I love you too."
You buried your face in his chest again, still sobbing. But a smile lit up your face now, and you cried tears of joy as Woomin's fingers ran soothingly through your hair.
"Days after days, we were overwhelmed with joy More and more, we were hurt and sad We were in a world for two"

ok so, youve mentioned fukutora so i was wondering if you had any specific opinions on them or like. whats do u think is ur vibe with their dynamic and such.
u also mentioned how you hate characterizing kenma bcs of how much charactization conflicts there r with him but i rlly am curious abt your thoughts on his relationship with tora and naga ( fukunaga ) and just generally the rest of nekoma
Fukutora is a pairing that sort of grew on me the longer I got to feel them out. Fukutora is, to me, a “leftovers” pairing, one of those ships that got stuck together because their other shipping contenders were taken already, which is a thing the haikyuu fandom is pretty notorious for. Hence why I don’t really use them as background pairings. IE: the reason you don’t see them in my works is because I don’t see it as being relevant in the same way something like background Tsukkiyama or Kagehina would be. So I tend to “sacrifice” them to avoid overcluttering my fics with relationships. 
As such, I don’t have a ton of personal headcanons for them. I am obsessed with that Manga panel where Tora reveals that he considers Fukunaga his rival and that he refuses to be left behind/let Fukunaga outpace him. That’s great, that’s really good stuff. 
I like Fukunaga being a freak. Fukunaga is, probably without contest, my favourite non-relevant haikyuu character. I like that he’s just a freaky little guy saying his weird shit, and like, Fukunaga is often described as a comedian, or like, it’s implied that he’s saying “jokes” but I swear to God only 1 out of every ten lines of his actually means anything or could qualify as a joke. the dude is just saying nonsense. I love him so much. I love his little grabby fingers. I love his stupid face. Love him. 
Because Fukunaga is a freak, giving Fukunaga a decidedly punkass sweaty teenage boyfriend is
 ideal for his character. Although Tora obviously is a very over-the-top character, there is a sort of “straight man” element that he brings to the ship, where you gotta wonder how this came to be. He’s too normal comparatively. But that I think roots the core of what I love about them. 
Tora is a fundamentally “cool” character, who’s trying to be seen by the ladies and fighting to be the best spiker on his team, and wanting to be suave and strong and powerful. He’s a very teenage boy type of teenage boy. Letting him fall in love with someone who so clearly is meant to be the “weird kid” rounds that character type out perfectly. That’s always how that love story goes - Fukunaga is about to fucking manic pixie dream boy his ass into a wedding ring. 
And that’s partially what I love about them. I like the idea of Tora being so stupidly in love with someone he can’t “justify” loving, that he can’t put into a neat little social box of a “hot girl” or a “cute girl” or anything of the like. A love that forces him to love authentically, without the shields of expectations and for someone that he might actually have to defend. In my personal headcanon, Fukunaga is far more popular than Tora, but in the archetypes for the character you have a jock kid who’s taken his heart out and given it to the weird kid and the weird kid is the one that’s going to get bullied. I like Tora having to suddenly really fight to protect his heart (Fukunaga) and have to stand up to people he might have previously considered his friends (the other loud idiot boys in classes) I like Tora laying down and sleeping over with Fukunaga for the first time and asking him a million questions just to hear his answers not because they’re clever or unique or enlightened in any way, but because Fukunaga has answers, he says weird shit and giggles and says normal things like they’re secrets and says secrets like they’re riddles and Tora has just found someone that makes like exciting, that makes life colourful, that supersedes the previous instincts he’d had to chase popularity and adoration. I like the idea of Tora going out of his way to make Fukunaga smile, because he’s just proud that he can make him smile. 
And in the reverse, you have Fukunaga being given someone who will love with him such aggression and such passion, someone who would probably literally bark like a dog to get people to leave him alone, who doesn’t understand any of Fukunaga’s jokes, but listens through to the end of every single one anyway. We don’t really have a lot of context for how either of these characters grew up, but I’d be willing to bed weird-kid “whispering jokes to myself on the bench” didn’t grow up with a lot of friends eager to play with him. So Fukunaga falls in love naturally and easily. Tora chases him down every morning, hangs an arm off his shoulder, wants nothing more but to be in his space, in his ear, laughing at his jokes (even though he still doesn’t get them
 he keeps asking to hear more, though.) Fukunaga has a partner who so eagerly supports him, who thinks he can do absolutely anything in the world, and, when he starts to think that he can’t do something, probably breaks down his door with a powerpoint presentation explaining exactly why he is good enough to do X thing, actually. 
Can you imagine these two as college roommates? Holy shit. 
Anyway
I like them, I think they fit well together in a way that forces both of them to recontextualize what they want out of life and romance, and make each other better in the long run. 
I will say, to simplify all of this, what I am drawn most to in Fukutora as a ship is a possessive/protective Tora, that is the winning piece of that dynamic for me, the same way I might say a jealous Iwaizumi is my key for iwaoi, and a self-conscious Tendou is my key for ushiten. 
As for how they play with Kenma

I mean, Kenma’s dynamic with Tora is great right off the bat, I love the antagonistic, “i am going to fight you until you prove to me that you’re trying” energy, and it probably wouldn’t have been possible for Kenma to become as great as he was without Tora. On the other half of that, Fukunaga doesn’t get so many scenes with them (save for throwing water buckets) so it’s harder to say. 
I think Kenma probably likes Fukunaga in the way that he respects anyone who does their own thing. Which, partially, is probably why he struggles to get along with Tora. Tora being too concerned with trends or what shoes are coolest, and Fukunaga being more into the theoretical coolest colour for stripes or some other bullshit. Kenma would probably prefer no conversation, but at least when Fukunaga talks it’s gonna be something you haven’t heard before. 
I like to think Fukunaga was one of the first people Kenma “hung out” with other than Kuroo from Nekoma, and Tora ended up taking along like a BOGO deal and it actually ruined Kenma’s week. Affectionately. But it did. He brought Kuroo along the next time Fukunaga invited him somewhere and he was RIGHT because Tora was there AGAIN. 
Personally I’ve always headcanon’d that Fukunaga gets to be team captain of Nekoma in that year, and I give Kenma the vice-captain’s place (I know a lot of people say Kenma is the captain but I think he would fucking hate that so I don’t want to do that to him)
However Fukunaga being captain is a level of chaos that brings me so much joy, and I love the idea of Kenma standing with him as they go through the practice schedule and he’s basically a crazy translator. Fukunaga’s like “we’re gonna learn what it’s like to be bunnies” and Kenma sighs and is like “we’re doing sprints as a warm up.” 
Or Tora being like “Shohei do a speech like Kuroo used to!” and Fukunaga immediately going: “You can’t play volleyball without blood in your body!” and all the new first years going “WHAT” and Kenma having to immediately be like “no, no, nobody ever - that’s not it - that’s not what - no
”
Anyway I believe Tora and Fukunaga are Bothers for Kenma but I also think he would be incredibly depressed if he wasn’t constantly being bothered. It’s like a guilty pleasure thing for him. 
Anyway, I do want to do more with this couple since they have really grown on me over the last year or so. Alas, much like many of my rarepairs, I don't really have any good ideas so... May be a while before I ever do use them properly.

Tumblr media
domesticity with ryƍmen sukuna
Tumblr media
— note + warnings: my lil' head is full of him; headcanons but not rlly formatted like them idk; modern! au; disgusting domestic fluff; spicy moments here and there ( feat. brief mentions of nudity, pet names, degradation, praise, just some basic intimacy yo ); mentions of food; brief mentions of alcohol and tobacco; fem! ( wife! ) reader; long post ( almost 1.5k and i still wanted to write more but i need to get ready for class ).
Tumblr media
every now and then, he comes home with burdened hands; a thickly arranged bouquet, your favourite pastry from that bakery standing a pesky distance away from your home, little bag with lace and frills and silk neatly folded at its bottom. he adores your reaction — the way your eyes are rendered overwhelmed with shimmer the moment you see him and whatever saccharine little thing he decided to please your wits with that day. the way you cling onto him, your muscles nearly aching from a sense of gratitude and excitement, or merely tenderness on the days you are fatigued and just quietly thankful. it's so fun to see you pleased with such a gesture; so silly, so endearing.
his armchair is his throne, and your throne is his lap. at times, he settles for the spot on the sofa; the one that has his name engraved on it with an ink of memory and habit. lounging there provides a proper view of the space around him, so when you walk in, showing off whatever delicacy he's bought to hug your curves, he sees the entire picture, perfectly framed. he cocks his head to the side, his knuckles pressing into his cheek as he tells you to twirl around for him, princess, so that the skirt of your dress may flutter or so he could have a good look at the way that lace-edged hem of your brand new knickers lightly sinks into the soft flesh of your buttocks. he pats his lap for you to come and take a seat like a good girl, and he may just show his appreciation for how ravishing you look.
yet, on the drearier days, when time seems to drip painfully slowly and when the invisible frost seems to linger in the corners of your home and bodies, he leans back into his mighty armchair and pulls you close — bare or modest, it matters not, as long as you are against him and he can trail incoherent patterns across your hip or run his fingers through your hair. something weighs on his vision and his eyelids threaten to falter underneath the dull pressure — he yawns and closes his eyes, aware that you, too, have given in. his thick glass of whiskey sits empty, sweating cold droplets of water; the cigarette butt squished in the ashtray.
meals are greatly indulged in; homemade, takeout, eating out. after all, sukuna's a connoisseur of gastronomy. wrinkled widows and middle-aged housewives did not utter a single word of lie whilst making the statement that a way to a man's heart is through his stomach, for sukuna indeed shows immense pleasure if you decide to treat him to a little something, whether it be some quick morsel or a sightly dinner sprinkled with the grandiose. his tastes are peculiar, however, so your outings in the evening either start or end up at a pricy spot with mouth-watering dishes.
when either one — or both — of you demand a rest from the confinements of your home, thoughts or chores, cruising through the highway and city roads is a welcome option. whether it be in a car or sukuna's motorcycle, a ride is a ride. underneath the streetlights after dark, or in the minutes just before the sun starts to sink into the horizon, or right after the rush hour when the roads are suddenly free of a tremendous burden. it's a little bit of adrenaline, and head free of pesky thoughts, your arms around his waist and your laughter that seems to fade into the breeze after a few seconds. the glimpse of you staring out of the car's rolled down window as your favourite song plays on is oddly sweet, and sukuna finds himself content with smaller things in life.
the ultimate betrayal of trust is giving in to the unholy, godforsaken urge to watch that one episode after a frustrating cliff-hanger — alone. there are spots in your routine which you fill with some stupid reality show or a theatrical series, most of which neither of you expect to grow so attached to. the image is that of a dimly lit living room, a bright screen and sound of chewing as you lay close to one another, occasionally commenting on and reacting to whatever is occurring within that wondrous glowing box of visionary delight. sukuna is transparent with his tastes; his expression twisting in some vague sense of disgust at poor writing, or brows raising in interest as the music shifts to a melody that is a tad more dramatic. the salt remains on your tongue and sticks to your lips.
he loves the way you attempt to be subtle with your affections and desires when the movie you're watching proves to be too dull. he sees you within the periphery of his vision — how you throw a glimpse or two towards his handsome profile, your gaze smoothly trailing down the line of his nose, dripping from its tip onto his lips only to take a turn up his sharp jaw. he'd call you dumb and naïve for thinking that the gears within your skull are not being obnoxiously loud with some starved intent, but he bites his tongue for the sake of indulgence. the tip of your index finger ghosts over his skin before you press your lips to his cheek gingerly, begging for a sprinkle of attention, and when he does not go out of his way to satisfy your whims then and there, you whine and complain into his ear how the movie is so boring... truthfully, he would have scoffed and wrinkled his forehead at the terrific acting and horrendous story-telling, too, but he swallows down whatever atrocity his eyes are witnessing on screen lest you grow bolder and needier with your advances, because he adores seeing you try harder.
some days you're bolder, when you come stomping to him as his eyes follow the rows and rows of black-ink characters pressed into the paper or glowing from the screen. your perfume is demanding, your outfit revealing, your lipstick's shade a herald of debauchery. try harder, he wordlessly dares as he spares you but a single glance, acknowledging the intent that you're absolutely overwhelmed with. sometimes he is not in the mood for your little schemes, so when you push at all his buttons with that voice thick with desire and relentless attitude that ignores his every warning, what else could he possibly do than give you what you've wanted, tenfold? he bruises your thighs with violet handprints and paints your neck with ruby red stamps of wanton need and irritation and leaves your legs quivering, shaking like a leaf because you, needy, naughty little thing, have asked for it.
other days he demands your attention. when you're reading your book, or watching your show, he approaches with bold, shameless kisses to your neck; open-mouthed and wet, not shy of whatever thought clouds his mind. sometimes there is barely any lechery in the way his fingertips sink into the flesh of your thighs or the way his palm caresses your back. sometimes he hungers for that which he deemed unfamiliar before you; for his head to rest against your breast and the sound of your heart-beat echoing in his ear. no matter what the motive is, his approach is direct, and his arguments temptingly good.
the smell of clean bedsheets, stained only by a whiff of slumber, is intoxicating on the weekend mornings; those always end in some lounging and rolling around, small kisses and sleep-laced grumbles. it's slow, it's leisurely, as if time holds no weight or consequence. they lead to another thirty minute nap, or a hungry yet slow session of love-making that ends up lulling you all the more. it's a shared shower, toast for breakfast, smell of bitter coffee or matcha, and the two of you in your own little world for the day.
sometimes you wake up before him and abandon your spot on the bed; let it grow cold and lonesome. standing on the sidelines, by the nightstand, provides you with a different view from the one you're used you when your cheek is sunken into the pillow. other than sukuna's resting face, you see the entirety of him fully — the cover half-heartedly trying to hide any indecency; the expanse of his muscular back moving rhythmically with each breath, resembling the way sea-waves come to hug the shore before being pulled back by an invisible force. the scratch-marks from your desperate fingernails are faded red on his shoulders, and he seems so tenderly mellowed as he roams his own dreamworld. you could lap up the sight, eat it up and engrave it into your brain, but settle for acting like a little stalker for just a minute or two, appreciating the sight of peaceful, unburdened sukuna who has his features halfway devoured by the soft embrace of his pillow.

i just realised that i need to know all of your hope lupin thoughts!! or ill turn into a little piece of crumbled paper and then set myself of fire and turn into ash and then fly away w wind
pls don't turn into a little piece of crumbled paper and then set urself of fire and turn into ash and then fly away w wind đŸ™đŸ»đŸ™đŸ»đŸ™đŸ» we need u kas
My main hcs for her are like, based on her look / aesthetic ?? I think she was a bit on the short side (5'4 or 5'3) but I don't think she felt small ?? If that makes sense?? she moved and acted like someone who's never been told to take up less space : elbows on the table when it was meal time, gesticulating w her hands when she talked, legs spread out on the grass when they were picnicking in the garden?? Am I making sense ?? Her hair was an absolute riot I fear thick long curls (im on the fence bn dark brown and remus getting his almost sandy hair from lyall or making it light brown and giving lyall dark brown hair ) I don't think she paid much attention to it? Or like "tame" it? she'd let it frizz up in the rain and fluff in the mornings (bed headed lupin family...its a sunday and its lightly drizzling...baby remus has his face smushed onto both their chests...im not ok) she'd tie it up in a red scarf when she cooked and twisted it into a lazy bun w a pencil when she read (the lupin family all squished into a small couch w hope reading to her boys .. baby remus trying to read along...lyall falling asleep..)
For her clothes I think she had that effortless muggle thrift store style (she found most "wizards clothes" funny and ridiculous (but also vv cute and she loves seeing lyall in his ministry of magic robes..even got a tiny ver for remus...)) cordoury skirts..red or orange jumpers...woolen mittens (hope always wantedto learn how to knit so she could make the whole fam matching jumpers but she never learned and the only things she can make are mittens and socks..), all her clothes pockets are filled w nonsense (chewed pens, hairclips for remus to play w, old receipts, a small polaroid..) her shoes imo were old asf and were like, wellies or boots.
I know it seems like she's the quintessential vanilla smelling girly but I think she would enjoy more floral scents like lavendar??
I think she lovesss plants and greenery but has the opposite of a green thumb,... all her plants fie,... she genuinely just sucks at gardening..
I think she was also incredibly curious abt magic (or at least was before the greyback attack) always asking questions and making lyall do silly charms to make remus laugh,..her favourite were the cooking charms and potions and she always dragged lyall into the kitchen w her on weekends so he could make the bread rise faster... I also think she appreciated the Wizarding world bc it gave her and her fam like a stable source of income?? (Imo even w the wizarding job (which (again imo) lyall quit a couple months after greybacks attack) the lupins werent vv rich or even like upper middle class?? Maybe lower middle class and i also hc that lyall was a bit poorly in his health in general (sickly old man) so wo the ministry job (at least, in hopes opinion) lyall probably wouldnt have gotten a job that allowed him to work normla hours wo like, being super bad for his health (also hope used to be a preschool teaching assistant (i hc that she dropped out of highschool bc #rebellion, so she couldnt be a full blown tr (not sure if this is how the teaching world hierarchy goes)) but after having remus she left and all the kids were sooo sad :( all of them were crying she was litr the best teacher('s assistant) ever) (she left the job by choice bc she rlly wanted to be able to focus on remus and raising him and enjoying parent hood (another hc of mine is that her parents, while not neglectful defo spent ALOTT of time at work and away from home so this led to like, an awkwardness? Bn her and them that even after having remus didnt go away (they died like 3 months after remuss birth bc i say so)) + around this time was when lyall got like, promoted and stuff so they werent rlly in need of that extra source of incoms)) after the attack tho I think she defo got a bit resentfull?? Of magic/ the wizarding world (in particular lyalls job) Bc in the end it was the reason why remus got bitten

Haii okay here’s my angst request! I love a good regretful jealous Mel hehehe. I was thinking you’re both teachers and she likes u but is like “I’m too cool for pining” so she does the extreme opposite and is kinda standoff-ish or blunt w u at school. When you’re alone she’s a little better but still not super lovey dovey. You “take the hint” and move on, and someone new comes into ur life (can you PLEASE for the LOVE OF GOD name this rando new person joy??). And then one day Mel’s like “let’s be official” And you’re like what? Why? I thought u didn’t like me also I have Joy now. And then Mel’s like wtf and she gets rlly jealous when she sees u w her now and then she tries to sabotage y’all’s blooming relationship. In the end maybe no happy ending pls?? If ur comfortable writing that :)
Hehe I LOVE a good heartbreak. Also I’m obsessed w joy Huerta (hence my username) and have been asking everyone to use it in fics AND PPL DONT ALFJKS. lmao anyways. I hope this is sumn ur comfortable writing!
OMG! you’re really testing me here! If I’m honest, it was hard to write. I rewrote it a few times, it hurt a little, might make a part 2. Honestly if even one person requests a part 2 with a happy ending then I will write one. As always, not edited in the slightest, I hope you like it!
On another note: keep sending prompts for one shots! I decided to write one shots about Chessy from parent trap played by our favourite redhead, Lisa Ann Walter, so you can send prompts for her too!
Part 2
Green Isn’t Your Colour
Warnings: (where do I start lol) Jealous Mel, upset Mel, a bit of toxic Mel, angst and no comfort, no happy ending , good luck lol
Words: 3.2k
Tumblr media
You walk in through the entrance of Abbott Elementary. You’ve been here for a year already and you’re finally feeling like you’re settling in. You’re a third grade teacher, you helped Melissa out as she wouldn’t have another split class again and that made her happy from the day you got there and hearing the news.
You walk into the break room, hot chocolate in hand, you don’t like coffee that much, but nothing could beat a good hot chocolate. You go and sit on an empty table, taking some tests out and start marking them. Melissa looks over at you from her table. She looks at the way you’re flawlessly marking, glasses on and concentrating on what you’re doing.
You glance up as you feel like you’re being watched and see Melissa looking at you, but then she quickly looks away when you notice and you smile. You liked her since you first set eyes on her and it only grew from there. But lately it seems like she’s off and you’re unsure why. She was nice to you when you started but now it’s like she’s the opposite and you don’t know why. You asked everyone else if they could answer why she’s different but no one noticed the change.
You got up and picked up the tests and decided to just carry them to your classroom. You passed by Melissa on the way out. “See you later Melissa.” You told her with a smile. She just nodded her head at you and went back to her phone. You looked at Barb and she just shrugged, not noticing a difference.
During your second period prep you finished marking the tests with a breath of relief. Just then Melissa knocks on your door and you look at her and smile. “Hey Melissa.” You tell her and she just has a neutral face and you drop your smile.
“I found the book you were asking for. The little eagles liked it last year and I’m sure they’ll like it again.” She said and handed you the book.
“Oh perfect, thank you.” You told her and smiled at the book. Melissa looked at you and couldn’t help the small smile forming at your excitement of the book. And you looked up at her to see the small smile on her face. “Hey Melissa, can I ask you something?” You asked and she looked at you confused.
“You can but it doesn’t mean I’ll answer.” Melissa said.
“Um ok. Well I was just wondering why you’re acting differently around me?” You ask and she looks at you with a neutral face again.
“I don’t know what you mean?”
“Well you were nice to me last year but now you’re acting distant and I don’t know why.” You asked her. “Did I do something wrong?” You added and that took her by surprise. She doesn’t want you to think you did anything wrong because you didn’t. Melissa has a crush on you and she doesn’t want to show it or let anyone know, and her acting nicely to you last year definitely raised suspicions, so she went back to how she acts with everyone else.
“You didn’t do anything kid. This is just how I am with people.” She said.
“You’re not like that with Barb.” You said.
“Barb is my best friend, so of course I’m nice to her.”
“What about Janine? Jacob? Gregory? Or when Ava at times? You’re nice to them.” You told her, getting a little frustrated.
“That’s because they’re my friends.” She said and you were taken back by that and it definitely stung. Melissa looks at your expression and knew she shouldn’t have said that. She does think of you as a friend but it just slipped out.
“Oh ok, well glad to know where we stand then, just co workers. Thank you for the book Ms. Schemmenti, I’ll return it tomorrow.” You tell her and go back to your desk. “If that was all then if you don’t mind, I have a lesson plan to do.” You told her and she nodded her head.
“See ya around kid.” She said and left. She knew she fucked up there. She’ll have to start being a bit nicer to you to get back in your good graces.
Back in your classroom you took a big breath. You thought you and Melissa were friends but I guess you were wrong. No wonder she’s always short and blunt with you.
The next day you were at the coffee shop, receiving your hot chocolate like always, turning around to leave and bumped into someone, spilling your hot chocolate all over them and a bit on yourself.
“Oh my god, I’m so sorry! I just wanted to talk to you and didn’t expect you to turn around.” The person said.
“Oh well I feel like I should be apologising, my hot chocolate mostly went on you. Wait, you wanted to talk to me? Why?”
“Because I see you in here everyday and I think you’re pretty.” She said with a blush and you blushed at her compliment.
“Oh uh th-thank you.” You stuttered a bit, not used to compliments.
“Can I buy you another hot chocolate? As an apology?” She said and you looked at her.
“Oh you don’t have too.”
“I want to though. Please, I insist.” She said and you smiled at her. She bought you another hot chocolate and handed it to you with a smile. “And there we go.” She said.
“Thank you.” You told her and saw the time. “Oh I gotta get to work.” You told her.
“Oh that’s alright I understand. I’ll see you again tomorrow?” She asked.
“Ya, I come here, same time every day.” You said with a smile and began to leave but turned around to her. “I never got your name btw.”
“It’s Joy.” She told you.
“I’m y/n.” You tell her and she smiles.
“You have a lovely name, it suits you.” She tells you. You blush and leave the coffee shop. You get to the school and immediately go to your classroom instead of the break room. You put your stuff done and see the book that Melissa gave you yesterday sitting on your desk. You might as well return it now, you got a few minutes before the students get here. You picked up the book and walked to the classroom next to yours and knocked on the open door. Melissa was stapling something and looked up at you and gave you a little smile.
Your heart fluttered a little at the smile and you remembered what she said yesterday. “Hi Ms Schemmenti, I came to return the book.” You told her, and held the book up.
She looked at you and remembered what happened yesterday and sighed. “Thanks y/n” she said and got up and walked over to you to take the book. “Did the little eagles like it?” She asked.
“Ya they did.” You said confused at her using your actual name
“I knew they would. You can borrow it whenever you want.” She told you and you offered her a small smile and nodded your head.
“Thanks Ms Schemmenti, I’ll keep that in mind.” You told her and left. She stared at you as you walked back to your own classroom and did a huge sigh and leaned back against her door.
A month goes by and you run into Joy everyday at the coffee shop. She took it upon herself to order you a hot chocolate and have it ready by the time you get there. You kept offering her the money for it but she always refuses, saying your company was payment enough. You exchanged numbers after a couple days and started texting for hours on end. By the second week she asked you out on a date and you said yes. By the third week she asked you to be her girlfriend to which you agreed excitedly.
At school, you noticed that Melissa has been a bit friendlier with you. You took her sudden change with caution though, you don’t want to get hurt again.
For Melissa, she wants to ask you out but she keeps getting scared. But after a month of being friendly with you, she decides to bite the bullet and just do it. She went to go see you at your classroom after the students left on Monday.
“Hey y/n, can I ask you something?” She asked you as she stepped in your classroom.
“Sure Melissa, what’s up?” You said and she smiled. You’ve been calling her by her first name again for about a week, and after you calling her Ms Schemmenti for 3 weeks, well she still smiles when you call her Melissa now.
“I wanted to ask you on a date.” She says and you look at her and freeze.
“What?” You ask, confused as hell.
“I wanted to officially ask you on a date.” She says and you look at her confused.
“Why?”
“What do you mean why?”
“I thought you didn’t like me.” You tell her and she looks a bit guilty.
“I never not liked you, when I realised I liked you near the end of the last year, I didn’t want to give away my feelings so I started acting distant towards you.” She says and looks down for a second then back up at you. “So will you go on a date with me?” She asks again.
“No.” You told her and she looked upset. “I did like you but I have a girlfriend.”
“Girlfriend? I thought you were single.” She says confused and still hurt.
“I was, until 2 weeks ago, her name is Joy.” You said with a smile. And Melissa looks at you with a bit of fire in her eyes. “If she’s real then I would like to meet her.” She tells you, crossing her arms,
“Oh ok, ya sure. I can ask if she can come meet everyone tomorrow morning if you want.” You tell her.
“Ok, I look forward to meeting her then.” Melissa says and leaves disappointed.
You asked Joy if she wanted to meet your coworkers tomorrow morning and she excitedly agreed immediately.
So the next morning, you meet Joy at the coffee shop as usual and she hands you your hot chocolate then you drive over to the school and walk in with her. You head to the break room with her and enter and all eyes look up at you and her.
“Everyone, I would like you to meet Joy, my girlfriend. Joy, this is Janine, Jacob, Gregory, Barb, Ava.” You said, pointing to everyone as you said their name. “And this is Melissa, the one who asked to meet you.”
“Hi everyone! And hi Melissa, I’m very much real as you can see.” Joy says and Melissa doesn’t look happy, she crosses her arms and the fire in her eyes come back. She thought you were lying and would have to keep being nicer to you before you agree to go on a date with her. Barb notices Melissa getting angry and puts a hand on her arm and that startles her and then just sits there, staring at you. She sees you being all happy as Jacob and Janine got up to come say hi to your girlfriend.
She wanted to be that person, be your girlfriend and she blew it. But then remembered that you said yesterday that you did have feelings for her, so maybe you still do. Then she smiles at that thought and thinks of different ways to play it. Joy would have to go of course, she ain’t gonna put a hit on her but instead she’ll try to sabotage it, and to do that, she’ll have to be nice first and get information.
So she gets up and goes over to you two. “Hi, nice to meet you. Ya I didn’t think you were real when y/n here as been single since I’ve known her.” She says to your girlfriend then proceeds to put an arm around your back as she mentions you being single and your eyes widen a bit.
“Oh that’s alright, it was a shock to y/n too when I asked her.” Joy says, and Melissa thinks it’s a shame she’ll have to sabotage it as she seems nice. But this person is getting in the way of her happiness so she gots to go.
“If you don’t mind me asking, how did you two meet?” Melissa asks.
“Oh we met at the coffee shop down the street, the one you told me about and I get a hot chocolate there every morning. And then I bumped into Joy about a month ago, like physically bumped into her and spilled my drink all over her.” You say with a chuckle.
“Ya she did but it was my fault, I saw her there every morning and after a couple weeks I decided to go talk to her and didn’t expect her to turn around at that very moment. So I offered to get her a replacement one and then we started talking.” Joy said with a smile.
And you noticed how Melissa’s hand got a bit lower on your back and you subtly get out of her grip and say an excuse. “Joy, do you want to go see my classroom?” You ask her and she immediately said yes. Joy waves bye to everyone and they all tell her it was nice to meet her and hope to see her again. And Melissa thinks that if it goes according to plan then she won’t be back to see them again.
At the end of the day, Melissa visits your classroom. “Hey y/n.” She says as you’re packing your things up.
“Oh hey Melissa. What’s up?” You ask her and sling your bag over your shoulders.
“Well I was wondering if I could go with you to the coffee shop tomorrow? I haven’t been there in awhile and wouldn’t mind a good store bought coffee once in awhile instead of one from the break room.” She says and you look at her confused.
“Oh I always meet Joy at the coffee shop in the morning.” You say and Melissa smiles, she knew it.
“Well that’s alright, maybe I could get to know her better then.” She says and you agree and tell her the time that you meet up with Joy.
The next morning, Melissa gets to the coffee shop first and orders a coffee for her and a hot chocolate for you. You and Joy come in a couple minutes later and see Melissa near a table with 2 drinks. “Hey Melissa.” You say and she looks over at you and smiles.
“Hey y/n and Joy. Here y/n, I got you a hot chocolate.” She says and sees the frown on Joy’s face before smiling again. Melissa smiles at that, she knew that Joy was still getting you a hot chocolate every morning. You said it yesterday to Janine and Jacob. “I would have gotten something for you but I forgot to ask y/n here what you like.” Melissa says and puts a hand on your shoulder.
Joy looks at the interaction and gives a confused look. “That’s alright, I’ll just go get a drink for myself. I’ll be right back.” She says and you and Melissa nod.
You look at Melissa a little confused. “Why are you being so much nicer all of a sudden?” You say to her and she just shrugs, feigning innocence.
“I don’t know what you mean y/n? I’m just getting to know your little girlfriend over there.” She says and hits you, Melissa is jealous.
“Melissa, are you jealous?” You asked and she scoffs. “I’m being serious, yesterday you asked me out saying you liked me. And now you’re at the coffee shop that I meet Joy at every morning and meeting nicer to me in front of her.”
“I’m just trying to make sure that she’s right for you, is all.” Trying to cover up the fact that you were right.
Before either of you can say anything else, Joy comes back with her drink. “Hey y/n, I would like to stay longer but worked called and asked if I could come in earlier. Like right now earlier. And I wouldn’t mind the extra cash.” She says and you nod.
“That’s alright, I understand, have a good day at work.” You tell her and she gives you a goodbye kiss on the lips and the fire in Melissa’s eyes return.
“Alright thanks for understanding, it was nice seeing you again Melissa.”
“Ya you too.” Melissa says back to her. Melissa didn’t like that kiss, and worse is that the only issue she has with Joy is that she’s with you. Other than that, Joy seems like a nice person, and she hates that fact.
At the end of the day Melissa stops by your classroom again. “Hey y/n.”
“Should I expect this to be a daily occurrence? You stopping by my classroom at the end of the day?” You say with a laugh and she gives a small laugh at that.
“Maybe.” She says and closes your door and walks up to you. You look at her confused for closing the door, but then think she probably wants to talk to you privately. “I don’t like her. Your girlfriend.” She says and you frown.
“Why?”
“I don't know, there’s just something about her that I don’t like.”
“Well you’ve only just met her. If you see her more then you might grow to like her.” You tell her with a smile.
“No I won’t actually.” She says and you’re confused.
“And how do you know you won’t?”
She looks you dead in the eyes and walks closer to you. “Because as long as she’s with you, then I won’t like her.” She says and she got very close to you and you had to walk back and you end up backing into your desk and she puts her hands on the desk on both sides of you, effectively trapping you. You look at her with wide eyes.
“Melissa, I-” and you don’t get to say what you were about to as her lips are on yours. You begin to kiss her back and then push her off. “Melissa what the fuck? You know I’m with Joy.” You tell her and she smirks.
“Then why did you kiss me back? And don’t deny it. I know you did before you pushed me off.” And you look at her speechless since she’s right. Melissa smiles at you and goes to kiss you again but you stop her.
“No Melissa, I’m with Joy now.” You tell her and she frowns.
“You wouldn’t rather be with me?” She asks and you shake your head.
“I’m happy with who I’m with. I’m sorry.” You tell her and walk out of your classroom, leaving behind a hurt Melissa who has a tear rolling down her cheek.
