hi, i saw your post about tips for running beginners yesterday, and in it you mentioned you didn't like c25k programs too much. i'm very curious what your reasons for that are (outside of the one you mentioned in the post), just because i don't really know too much about the subject but am currently doing a c25k program :) i'd love to hear your perspective on the topic!
HI HI HI I'm so happy whenever I get asks about running, this really made my evening ❤️
I have some nitpicks about C25K, but the most important thing to keep in mind is that the best training program is the program you're actually going to follow. There's no point in an awesome training plan if you're not going to stick with it. C25K, with the various apps and communities and its immense popularity, is hugely convenient for new runners to get into, and I really think it's something that shouldn't be underestimated. Kind of how many beginner lifting routines are frankly kind of rubbish, but you're still seeing massive results even with suboptimal programming because you're training consistently. If you're enjoying C25K, that's all that matters at the end of the day.
On to my nitpicks: like I said in the post, I don't love the framing of walking as something an experienced runner needs to grow out of — there are many walk/run strategy training plans even at very advanced levels. My other two main nitpicks are: 1) lack of focus on strength and mobility, and 2) lack of deload weeks.
I think a program that targets complete beginners should put more emphasis on the importance of strength exercises + mobility and stretches as injury prevention, especially because so many people use C25K as a program while trying to lose weight and running is a high-impact activity that'll be more taxing on the joints the heavier you are. The second reason — lack of deload weeks — is also because of injury prevention. iirc C25K DOES tell people to repeat a week "if you don't feel ready," but I really think lower-volume weeks should be programmed in, instead of steady week-by-week increases. Your body needs some time to get used to its current fitness level before pushing harder. Something like "3 weeks of increasing distance, 1 week while you stay at the same weekly mileage or lower it slightly" is IMO better than "distance total increases week by week."
(In all of this, I'd like to disclaim that I haven't actually looked at a C25K plan in years. For all I know, maybe it was updated to include mandatory deloads and a recommended 5-mins-a-day-bodyweight-legs-routines. But these were my main "this could be better" takeaways when I last saw the schedule)
I hope this is clear and above all doesn't dissuade you! You're gonna smash that 5k

The Trandoshan was shorter than what you were used to, but her eyes were just as cold and hard as the rest; only giving that sharp reptilian gaze, incapable of anything else.
“So what are you proposing?” Hunter broke the silence in the back office.
“She as good as what Goggles was saying?” Hunter glanced you out the corner of his eye, shifting to lean on the other leg as he decided what to say.
“I’m no expert…” he started.
“Look Bandana, it isn’t me she’s gonna be working on. It’s you boys and if she kills you it isn’t my problem.” The Trandoshan settled back in her seat. “Lucky for you, I bought a unit just up the street, large enough to live in and have a small medcentre attached.” Hunter’s hand came up to catch whatever she threw at him. “Have a look, tell me what you need and I’ll see what I can get, don’t take all day.” Hunter jerked his head towards the door and you backed away, slowly extracting your nails from the palm of your hand.
You flinched at the noise of the bar, staying close to Hunter’s back and not looking around at anything. The street was no better, the loud noise of speeders, people shouting and it was completely different to the quiet of the fields around the slavers complex.
“This is it.” He slotted the card into the activation panel and the door opened halfway only to grind to a halt. Hunter wedged himself in the gap, straining as he pushed to make the mechanism complete its motion. “Tech can sort that,” he told you. The lights blinkered on, flooding a large empty space. It was littered with some rubbish, the kitchen area needed to be sorted and it required some work if it was to work as a medbay…but you could see it. “What do you think?” Walking past the kitchen you checked out the private bedroom and refresher, ending up back in the larger living area where he was standing leaning casually against the wall.
You could feel his eyes on you, waiting for a response that you weren’t sure how to express. You expected him to moan, voicing his annoyance at how mute you were but he just coolly watched you from beneath that odd looking helmet.
Turning your back to him you faced the big empty space. “I’m sorry.” You heard him shift, sensing him come up behind you but not too close. There was a soft hiss and you knew he had taken it off. c
“Why?”
“I am no good at any of this. A few days ago I was a slave, my life was in someone else’s hands, charged with keeping a stranger alive and suddenly I’m here on the verge of…” You wanted to say freedom, but in the service of someone else it didn’t feel like that right now. Hunter slowly moved until he was in your eye line, understanding etched over that tattooed face.
“I get it,” he said gently. “You don’t have to stay here. Cid will use you to her full advantage, she certainly does with us.” You snorted softly through your nose, you had no doubt the Trandoshan was going to keep you busy, but she was also offering you something that was extraordinary.
“Why do you keep coming back?” Hunter shrugged in response.
“We owe her.”
Tumblr media
You were getting under her scaly skin and it gave you a thrill. The Batch were all standing behind you, watching the interaction with great interest as the pair of you bartered back and forth.
“50 percent. I’ll get whatever you need,” Cid narrowed her eyes and you felt your fingers flex against your palm. “A nice mutually beneficial agreement,” she slithered smugly with a wide grin. Even you knew that wasn’t a good deal, Hunter had told you not to take her first offer, to fight your corner no matter what.
“10 percent and you get me what I want anyway, or you won’t make any profit.” Your insides quivered when she revealed her teeth in amusement.
“40 percent.”
“15,” you countered quickly.
“If I may…”
“Sssshhhhhh!” Echo, Wrecker and Omega hissed at Tech, his hand dropped sullenly as he stepped back against the wall.
“30. That’s my final offer, Needles.” The Trandoshan pulled back her lips again as you stood there working out if this was a decent deal. In truth you didn’t think she was going to budge on the 50 percent of your earnings, she was certainly fairer than others of her kind.
“30 percent, but 5 goes towards paying off the debt for these guys.” The silence that followed made you wonder if you’d said something wrong, maybe they didn’t have a debt and you’d misread the situation completely.
“You got your own debt to worry about,” she hissed. “But I must be going soft. Deal.”
“Yes!” Omega gave a little clap and jumped on the balls of her feet.
Cid threw up her hands in defeat. “Give the boys a list and they can source your equipment. Now, get out of my sight.” You filtered into the group, behind Omega who kept shooting excited looks at you and in front of Tech whose eyes were darting all over his datapad.
The Batch pooled around the bar, Omega sat on a stool and instantly began to ask you things about the unit, how much space is there, what equipment you could get in there, were you excited? Hunter ordered drinks for everyone but it was Wrecker that caught your eye. He stood away from the group a little, putting Echo between you both and avoiding your gaze completely. He still created a sense of fear and you had no doubt if he showed any aggressive behaviour you’d melt into a useless puddle…but there was something else about him you couldn’t put your finger on.
“I have composed a list of the basic equipment you might possibly need. I am in no way an expert and, though highly unlikely, I might have missed something.” Tech was standing next to you, he hadn’t even taken his helmet off because he was so engrossed in writing this list for you. He held out the datapad; his eyes locked with yours for just a second before they swept to look at something else.
You took the pad and scrolled through it, mentally checking it against your own. Tech eased off his helmet and grabbed the drink that had been put before him.
Bacta tank, bed, defibrillator, injector, power cells, mediscanner, monitors, resuscitation equipment, ventilator, adaptors…
“This a good list,” you murmured and his eyes scrunched happily. “I would really like a droid though.”
“I did not consider that.” He took the datapad off you. “Would there be a particular model you were favouring? Of course there are the ones like AZI,” as he waved his hand the small small droid who had served them drinks, with blinking photoreceptors glided into view.
“Hello. I am AZI-345211896246498721347.” Tech stared at the droid as he rattled off his model number before continuing like he wasn’t interrupted.
“There are the AZ series, or the 2-1B series also FX-medical assistant droids... I am sure I could look up newer models but you won’t find them in a scrap yard.”
“A scrap yard?” Tech sat back slightly so he could look over your disgruntled expression, once again adjusting his goggles to give him time to reply.
“I thought the situation was obvious.”
“Well it’s not to all of us,” Echo said over Omega’s head, clearly following the conversation between you. “So, explain.”
“Cid can barely keep up with our food and fuel costs, or so she says. It is highly likely she’s trying to cut her losses and will expect us to pillage a scrap yard at the very least, saving her money and resources in the process.”
“Great,” Hunter mumbled.
“Nothin’ like a good scavenging mission,” Wrecker said as he winked at Omega.
“Of course the Marauder won’t be able to house all that is required and the fuel consumption would not be very cost effective making multiple trips,” Tech continued, holding a finger up as he made his point. “To summarise, we need a light freighter and a scrap yard that we won’t be killed for entering, let alone stealing from.”
“Do you think Rex could help?” Omega asked as she looked around the group.
“It’s possible,” Echo reluctantly agreed. “He might know of some abandoned medical facilities.”
“That’s too risky,” Hunter countered as he hunched on the bar. “Places like that would be under Imperial control.”
“Can’t hurt to ask though. Right?” When no one gave her an answer Echo sighed and slipped off the seat.
“I’ll see if I can contact him.”
Tumblr media
You stepped out of the private room you’d changed in, seeing Hunter notice the movement as he acknowledged you.
“Not a bad fit,” he said. You adjusted the skin fitted bodysuit, the spare plates of katarn they had given you felt weird and clunky.
“Are you sure?”
“Whether it is or it isn’t, is irrelevant,” Tech announced as he entered the hold and took an appraising look at you. “Fact remains this is all we could give you that had any hope of fitting.” You fidgeted with the griptions, trying to make the armour fit better and succeeding only slightly. “May I?” Tech pointed to the spaulder that was the most uncomfortable and you hesitated before giving a jerk of your head.
His eyes stayed on the katarn as he adjusted it for you, his fingers precise in their movements. You stayed still, too scared to even breathe at his closeness as you stared at a point over his shoulder.
“There. That should sit better.” When he moved away you relaxed a little, rolling your shoulder noticing it did indeed feel better. Alarms went off in the cockpit making Tech look up. “Ah. We are approaching our destination.” The whole squad moved into the cockpit leaving you to follow a few paces behind.
The lights of hyperspace fell away as Tech dropped the speed of the ship and a large structure loomed out in the blackness of space.
“A decommissioned Haven-class medical station, we should be able to find everything we need in here.” Tech announced as he guided the borrowed freighter closer to the huge structure.
“It’s huge,” Omega whispered, leaning forward in her seat to try and get a better look.
“Yes. Only twenty of these were built and used during the War. It has been designed to replicate the Republic symbol, which we could see if we approached from above. Capable of housing approximately eighty thousand soldiers at…”
“Are you sure it’s abandoned?” Hunter demanded, across Tech’s rambling, eyes narrowed and arms crossed to show he was unhappy with this entire operation.
“My scanners indicate there are no organic life forms.”
“Still don’t like it,” he muttered darkly from behind your chair.
“Should I continue with the approach?” Tech asked, cocking his head to look back at his comrade, you knew if Hunter gave the word Tech would turn around in a heartbeat. Hunter gave a curt nod and then disappeared in the back.
“There’s a flight deck dead ahead,” Echo said. “Everything seems to be disabled.”
“Just as well Rex gave us the access codes,” Tech said as he flicked a few switches. The ship glided slowly into the hangar, darkness filling the cockpit as it did. “I can remotely access some of the basic systems so we may exit the ship and not get sucked out into space.”
“That would be helpful,” Wrecker said and nudged Omega as he walked up beside her, making her giggle.
“Here we go,” Tech looked up as the magnetic shields sparked to life across the wide entrance of the hangar. “Air pressurising...” The ramp released, allowing the blue glow of the shields to filter into the hold. The clones all put their helmets on, Omega armed herself with the energy bow she carried. You had the spare armour but no weapon, maybe they didn’t trust you enough just yet.
Tech was the first one out, hurrying to the console with Echo so they could turn the life support on in places it was needed. You hesitated, your hand on the edge of the opening as you peered into the blue lit space.
“You might want this.” Hunter was standing a few paces behind you holding out a blaster and hilt. “We picked this up on one of our missions. Do you know how to shoot?”
“No.”
“Ah, well it’s better than nothing.” You took the belt off him and just stood there, you weren’t sure how to put it on, you’d never worn anything like it and there were too many straps. You managed to put it round you but then dropped the other side so it clattered on the floor. “I can…”
“No!” He froze at the panic in your voice as you backed away. “No I-I can do it.” What you didn’t see was the edge of the ramp, your foot slipped and a small scream escaped as your view titled dramatically. You fell into something solid, the air in your lungs pushed out leaving only a tight pain behind.
“Gotcha!” Wrecker shouted through his helmet, his arms taking your weight easily. You choked, desperately trying to drag a breath in but the pain was too intense.
“Wrecker! Lay her down.” Tech appeared above you; his eyes flitted quickly over your panicked face before his eyes locked with yours. “Breathe,” his voice sounded clearer coming though his helmet. “Deeply.” His head bobbed as you tried to do what he asked, his intense gaze never leaving yours, which surprised you. “Breathe, again.” It was easier this time, the pain ebbed and you were able to take in more fresh air. His kind eyes were rimmed so evenly by those specs he always wore, the visor to his helmet clicked up so it didn’t fall down. “Again.” You managed a full breath, exhaling gently. “Good. She’s all right,” he told them in an unbothered tone as he got up and went back to his datapad.
Echo looked at Tech’s retreating back and then stepped to you with his hand out. “I’ll help you up.” Your chest was still aching so you took the help offered, trying not to seem rude when you snatched your hand away, curling your fingers into your palm.
“I can do it for you,” Omega slipped the belt from your grasp and wrapped it around you, her fingers making quick work of the buckles and soon she stepped back.
“Thanks,” you murmured.
“It’s ok,” she replied with a shrug. “I didn’t know what I was doing for a while either.”
“I have applied gravity and life support systems to the sections Rex told us about,” Tech pushed into the moment, shouldering past Echo. “I do suggest we be quick about this in case our activity has alerted any Imperial patrols nearby.”
“Wrecker, Echo, take Omega and bring back whatever you can carry. Stitch, Tech, you’re with me.” The others broke off and soon it was just you and the two clones walking ahead.
The light from their torches lit the way and you found yourself looking up at the vast corridors. The walls were smooth with only a few lowlights where the walls met the floor. Trailing a hand along the surface as you walked, marvelling at how you could feel the alloy but only as it came through the thin black body suit the clones had given you.
Hunter’s footfalls were steady and evenly matched on the grated floor, whereas Tech’s were slightly choppy while he alternated looking at his datapad and actually seeing where he was going.
You hated to admit but you were in awe of such space, the silence, the deadness and how it stretched before you. This entire station was empty and it blew your mind that the Imperials wouldn’t try to utilise it somehow. Just a relic of times gone past, a reminder that nothing lasts forever.
“Anything?” Hunter questioned.
“We should be approaching one of the treatment rooms just around this corner.” Sure enough a control panel appeared on the wall and Tech easily opened the door.
You weren’t sure if they stepped aside to let you in or if you just shoved past, the medic in you almost crowing at the equipment that slowly came to life before your eyes. Lights flickered on in the bacta tanks casting that calming blue glow across the room. Ventilators hung on the wall along with air tanks and large screens to show the patient's vitals all in one place.
There were beds all still set up and waiting for patients like this station was still active only yesterday. Cupboards were full of dressings, medications, needles and intact medkits. You even let out a squeal when you happened upon fresh, brand new looking defibrillators.
“I think we have hit the jackpot,” you heard Tech say to Hunter.
“Well, let’s grab what we can and get out of here.” You were still staring in awe when Hunter activated the repulsors on one of the beds, dragging things out of cupboards and loading it up.
“Stitch! This is your operation,” he called over. “Gonna help?”
“I want one of those bacta tanks,” you announced loudly, making them both pause.
“Is that really necessary?” Groaned Hunter, his helmet turning to look at you.
“Yes. What if one of you gets shot and I don’t have a bacta tank to immerse you in?”
“She has a valid point,” Tech agreed, waving his datapad in your direction.
“Fine.” Hunter activated his com. “Wrecker, we need you here.”
“Yes, boss.” While you waited for Wrecker you went around filling the bag you’d brought and helped Tech put extra into a supply crate.
“I’m going to start walking this back to the ship and check on the others.” Hunter walked the bed out and disappeared into the corridor. You activated another bed and dumped the bags onto it, also grabbed a couple of ventilation masks.
“This was a really great idea,” you blurted out, suddenly feeling the need to say something to the clone left in your presence.
“Actually it was Omega’s idea. She’s the one you should be congratulating.” You went to stand next to him, seeing the glow of the bacta tank reflected in his round specs.
“Can we take it?”
“Execution might take some time, ideally syphoning out the bacta would make it easier to transport, but I feel we don’t have the luxury of time.”
“I’m here, what am I lifting?” Wrecker walked in, cracking his knuckles, his helmet pushed up to rest on his forehead.
“This bacta tank. Be careful,” warned Tech.
“Easy,” the big man declared. You watched with your heart in your mouth as Wrecker lifted it out of the brackets with more care than you thought possible. He left out a soft grunt, heaving the large glass tank over his shoulder making the fluid inside slosh around.
“Wrecker!” You and Tech both lurched forward when it looked like he was going to lose his footing, only for him to catch his balance.
“I’m ok,” he huffed. “Is this it?”
“Yes.” You grabbed the handle on the bed and began to steer it out into the corridor, Tech trotting along behind you.
“Tech. Come in.”
“I read you, Hunter.”
“We have company, get back to the ship.” All of you quickened the pace, Wrecker did his best but you could tell he was struggling with the precarious tank on his own. He stumbled at one point and you thought he was going to go over and smash the whole thing.
“Careful, Wrecker!” Tech tutted.
“A little help?” His brother growled.
“Fine. Hold onto these and then we can both carry it.” They easily changed positions, holding onto the brackets and carrying the tank between them. You had no idea Tech was even that strong.
“Where are you guys?” Echo demanded through the com just as the group of you entered the hangar. Hunter and Echo both descended the ramp, Echo helped push the laden hover bed up into the hold and Hunter went to help with the tank.
Proximity alarms were going off in the cockpit and Omega shouted they were coming.
You had no time to feel, no time to register the panic as it blossomed in your chest, you were too busy trying to secure your new equipment. The ramp closed and you helped Wrecker secure the bacta tank as Tech took control of the ship with Echo.
Blaster shots sounded, slamming into the side of the ship and you fell against Wrecker who automatically wrapped you in his large arms. You were all jolted as the ship lost altitude, spinning and then slamming into the flight deck floor and skidding to a halt against the far wall.
“The ship is damaged!” Called Echo over the whine of alarms.
“I concur. We won’t be able to leave the station without some makeshift repairs,” Tech added.
“Abandon ship,” Hunter ordered. “Leave the equipment, we’ll lure them into the station and hope we can double back when there are less of them.”
The ramp was jammed half closed, leaving just enough room for you all to slip out the gap and hunker down behind some supply crates unseen.
Troopers disembarked from the shuttle that had landed just inside the magnetic shield, their blasters all aimed at your freighter as they stalked forward.
“Split up. We need a distraction,” Hunter whispered.
“I got this,” Wrecker growled. Echo followed his comrade, the pair of them sneaking in the shadows until they got to the other side of the fallen freighter.
“Hey! Bucket heads!” All the troopers turned to Wrecker as he stood at the entrance where you had been earlier. “Come and get me,” he roared before disappearing.
“Move out!” Hunter ushered Omega in front of him, his hands protective over her while Tech stayed by your side.
“Hey! There’s more over there!” Came the shout from behind, followed by a rain of blaster shots that had you all ducking.
“Run!” Hunter shouted.
Eventually you came to a fork in the corridor and Hunter made a motion for you and Tech to dive down one while he and Omega took the other.
“Lead them as far into the station as we can, they can’t cover the whole thing. Tech, can you get the lifts working?”
“I can. It is possible we shall get lost as well,” he replied into the com as he ran.
“Then let’s keep our wits about us.” Tech glanced at you, his gaze almost apologetic.
“I need to head to the main console in order to access the core systems of the station all at once.”
“Where’s the nearest one?”
“Well that’s the issue. I’m not entirely certain,” he confessed. Your footsteps slowed as Tech consulted his datapad, your blaster was out but it was a foreign weight in your hand, palms sweating in the bodysuit and you hoped you didn’t have to use it. Tech held up his datapad as you watched the corridor behind hoping the troopers had followed Hunter instead. “We might need to do some climbing. I hope you’re good with heights.”
“I don’t have a choice, do I?” A slight hysterical breathy giggle bubbled up as you chucked a wide eyed glance in his direction.
“Unfortunately, no.” He stopped abruptly and pointed at the doors you hadn’t even noticed appear. “This will do.” You watched him get to work, connecting his datapad to the control panel so he could open the doors, only to reveal the longest, darkest tunnel you’d ever seen. Tech leaned out and shone his torch up the lift shaft. “I can see the next level, of course opening the doors from in here will be tricky.”
“Can Echo do it?” You asked, making the helmet swivel round, his eyes looking you over as he contemplated your suggestion.
“Potentially, yes,” came his crisp response. “If he were to come across a portal, he only needs to access the doors on the next level and not the whole…”
“Tech!” You gestured down the darkened corridor and he readied his grappling hook, throwing it up with precision into the blackness. You heard the clink as it collided with something and hooked into place. Tech tugged on the line and then held out his hand for yours.
A blaster shot pinged into the door beside you, leaving behind a charred spot and automatically you ducked, throwing up your arms to cover your face.
“Grab on!” Tech shouted over the noise but you’d already backed too far from him. The shots were well aimed, effectively cutting you off from Tech as he tried to reach a hand out, snatching it back when someone fired. You started to turn, if you could lead them away from him then he could carry out the plan.
“Stitch!” His voice echoed after you, but he was distracted, returning fire with his pair of blasters, falling to his knee to make himself a smaller target. Casting one last glance at him you started to run.
Heavy boots charged after you, their footfalls sounding like the pound of your nightmares and it spurred you to run faster. The corridor went on and on, smooth sides curving round just enough to keep you out of the troopers line of sight until one shot landed at your feet, making you trip and fall in shock.
You landed heavily, spreading your hands out to try and catch yourself but still gasping for a breath as your armour protected you from the worst of the fall.
A mirrored puck dropped to the floor, rolling in front of you, spinning in circles until dropped flat, only to be crushed under the boot of a trooper.
You stared at the new set of boots, noticing the dark colour was different to the rest of the soldiers you’d seen. Slowly your eyes travelled up the greaves that covered his shins, almost recognising the cut of the armour that he wore.
Sliding your hands closer you managed to sit up, eyes flicking to the barrel of the sniper rifle that was trained on your face. His helmet wasn’t that of a traditional trooper although it carried the same shape, it was the wrong colour. The rifle followed your movement, the rangefinder gently clicking back into the upward position.
“What do we have here?” His voice was like ice, silky and clear through the helmet but it had an edge that made you freeze. “Take her,” he demanded, finally lowering the rifle so you could be bound at the hands.
“Sir,” a trooper stepped forward.
“What?”
“The rest of them fled into the station,” he reported.
“Not for long,” the sniper drawled as he rested his rifle on his shoulder. “Take her to the hangar. They’ll come for her—and we’ll be ready.”
Tumblr media
Crosshair stared at the ship, it was no Marauder, just a common freighter currently full of medical equipment. He didn’t know what his squad mates—no. They weren’t that anymore.
Feeling the toothpick between his teeth, he almost snapped it in half from the pressure of his jaw, squeezing it until the wood began to bend. Instead he made himself relax, adjusting his rifle so it rested better across his leg. It wasn’t a patch on his old rifle, the one Hunter had taken from him, but he’d modified this one as much as he could without Tech’s assistance.
He could sense the troopers around him were growing restless, shifting from one foot to the other, the occasional sigh, a roll of a shoulder here and there. They weren’t the same calibre as the regs, that was for sure.
He sneered, hearing the click of your bindings as you shifted your position. He could barely bring himself to look at you, he’d never admit it to anyone, even himself; but it hurt to see you in that armour. One of the spaulders you so ignorantly wore used to be his and it made his irritation levels go up a few notches.
The audacity …he didn’t know who you were, he didn’t care but the fact you wore katarn, The Bad Batch katarn, was enough. They would come for you, of that he had no doubt.
Whatever… you were of no consequence, you were irrelevant in his eyes. Bait for something much more important.
He’d hidden the Batches' survival on Kamino from the Imperials, still not sure how such information would serve him. Maybe it would in time, maybe it wouldn’t. Knowing something the Empire did not gave him a better sense of superiority, probably misplaced.
All you’ll ever be is a number to them… those words had haunted him more than anything else. They crept up on him in the quiet of his room, when he sat down to eat alone, they screamed at him when he looked round for his brothers and they weren’t there. But he’d made his decision, some part of him still hoped his brothers would change their mind and join him.
The company he’d been with was the closest when the warning went off for this particular station and he’d answered immediately, not really sure what he’d find but he had a feeling he knew it was his old squad. He did assume Tech would have been cleverer and blocked such a transmission, clearly not.
“Sir. How long are we going to wait?” One of the troopers finally asked, dropping his weapon.
“As long as it takes,” Crosshair replied haughtily. He hated these new troopers, they didn’t have the training or the discipline that he had. No doubt the rest of the company was being trapped within the station, Echo and Tech would have access codes giving them control of the entire thing.
Crosshair could feel you observing him. He tried to ignore your fear filled gaze but your shivering was getting on his last nerve.
Jumpy little thing, no wonder they felt you needed some armour. Clearly, it was the only thing keeping you alive.

you go back in time to try and make things right
Arguments between the two of you wasn’t anything new. There has always been petty arguments which would inevitably end with the offer of tea–black tea for him from you if you were in the wrong or a fruit tea for you if he was. Except this time the argument is bad. Worse than ever before and you don’t even know what started it. No, that isn’t fair. You know that it’s because of the stunt that you pulled earlier. But Doyoung is overreacting!
There was no way you were going to just stand there and watch him get torn down by the monster of the week. So what if you were been hurt? It wasn’t your fault that you couldn’t heal your own wounds with magic. Plus lifelong silver scars are better than a future without him. And besides, did he really think you were just going to stand there and do nothing? Even if it wasn’t him that was going to get maimed, you would have done it regardless. At this point the rest of your friends have bets regarding on whether or not you would pull some sort of stunt whenever it’s time to face the big bad.
“You’re always doing shit like this!”
“Oh, I’m sorry,” you retort sarcastically with a roll of your eyes, “I didn’t realize I was supposed to stand back and watch you die!”
“I would’ve handled it.”
You scoff loudly. “Handled it? You call standing there and waiting for it to hit you handling it?”
None of your friends intervene as Doyoung continues his rant furiously. They stand surrounding the two of you, ready to react if the situation were to escalate but doing nothing to diffuse the situation. However the more he speaks, the angrier you get. Is it so hard to accept that you saved his life? That, hey, maybe you actually like him being alive and that it’s okay to need help every once in a while. You guys are a team, a family, for crying out loud. Or is it only okay when he’s the one doing the life saving acts?
“You know what?” He spits, tone taking on finality, and you’re sure that for as long as you’ve known him, you have never seen him this mad. “This is all your fault. We’re running around risking our lives all because of you!”
The fire in his eyes and the way he says it is enough to make you take a step back. Surely he doesn’t mean it. The reason why he said it is because he is in the heat of the moment–but no matter how much you try to make up excuses for him, you know that it’s was true. Everything is all your fault. It doesn’t matter that they have never said anything to you. There has always been suspicion lurking in your mind that they all blamed you for getting them involved in the supernatural world. Of course Doyoung is the one who ends up confirming your hunch–he’s always been good at that.
“Doyoung.” Taeyong warns, his tone firm, as he takes a step forward.
The said man redirects his gaze sharply towards him. “No, Taeyong. You all know it’s true. Don’t even try to deny it.”
The moment you see Yuta about to speak, you know you have to end the gruesome argument. “You’re right,” you say quietly, looking Doyoung directly in the eye. “It is all my fault and I’m really sorry.” And with that, you spin around and head straight for the exit, making sure to avoid everyone’s eyes. Fortunately Johnny, Yuta and Taeyong’s apartment isn’t too far from the one that you share with Jaehyun and Doyoung. After the night you’ve had, you figure that the walk back would do you some good.
“Hey, wait up!” Jaehyun’s beside you in a few seconds, quick to match your pace.
“Alright, spit it out.” The silence was comfortable but you know with the way he keeps glancing at you from the side of his eye that he’s bursting with want to say something to you.
“Nobody blames you, you know.” You purse your lips in response, knowing that it’s untrue. “No, really. Doyoung was just tired and worried.” All of you are tired. It’s hard trying to keep your community safe while you all juggle college, part time jobs and maintain hobbies. You don’t bother saying it to Jaehyun, though, just keep silent as he continues to speak. “I’m sure everything will be fine! Before you know it, you and him will be doing that weird tea exchange you guys always do.”
That statement is enough to pull a small huff of laughter from you accompanied by an eye roll. “I hope so.” You reply, opening up your apartment door.
“It will. Just you wait and see.”
*
Doyoung doesn’t go home that night. 
In fact, he doesn’t come home for the rest of the week at all. When he eventually does, however, everything is different. The two of you avoid each other and when that isn’t possible neither of you spoke to one another. It constantly makes you feel horrible that the rest of your friends have to divide their time between the two of you and you want to apologize to Doyoung but his words hurt. No matter how true they were.
“Hey Mark,” you call out as he’s aimlessly highlighting a paragraph on his very expensive college textbook. When he hums in reply without looking up from what he’s doing, you continue. “If you could take back being involved, would you?” That has him dropping his highlighter, head snapping up towards you with a clear look of confusion.
Despite his confusion, he still gives your question some thought. “Well I mean it can be inconvenient; my grades tanked for a while and it sucks knowing that I might die whenever we go hunting whatever it is that we’re facing,” you nod empathically, “but no. I don’t think I do.” Mark eyes you suspiciously. “Why’re you asking?”
Shutting your book closed, you shake your head at him. Mark is the last person you have asked this question and all the answers you have received are variations of the same thing he said. Twisting your mouth, you say a goodbye and leave the room determinedly. You are going to fix this. It won’t be easy but there is a spell you found that could help you reverse this whole situation. The risks involved aren’t too big, nothing you aren’t used to already, and if this is what it takes for the bone deep exhaustion and unnatural haunted look to disappear from your friends then it will be worth it.
So, yeah. Everything is not fine. But you’re going to make sure that it will be.
*
It takes a week before you decide to put your plan into action but only because of the new situation that popped up. The wendigo is taken care of immediately and then all of you go out for some celebratory pizza like you almost always did. It stings that Doyoung takes the furthest seat away from you, refusing to meet your eyes ever since that night, but you assure yourself that by the end of the night everything would be sorted. They will never have to deal with this type of stuff again.
“What’s with that look?” Johnny asks as he nudges your side with his elbow.
“Nothing, I’m just gonna miss this.” You reply absentmindedly. After tonight, there would be no more late night meals to celebrate surviving. No more group research and planning sessions. Would you guys even hang out at all? Whatever the outcome, you hope that somehow you guys will find each other again.
“What? The pizza?” Mark’s tone is full of confusion, his brows furrowed. “Why would you miss it?”
You wave your hand dismissively at him, “Don’t mind me. I’m just being stupid.”
Mark shrugs in response and continues to devour his pizza, clearly more interested in food than your wistful behavior. The rest of the night is full of laughter and you relish it, holding back any tears that threaten to show. Unfortunately, you’re aware of Jaehyun’s eyes on you and you aren’t surprised when, after he paid for the meal since he was the one who stumbled upon the wendigo, he is quick to make sure he walks beside you. You purposefully placed yourself behind the group, watching from a small distance as they continued their antics.
“Whatever it is that you’re thinking of doing,” Jaehyun says lowly as to not gain the attention of your other friends, “please don’t.”
You arch a brow. “What makes you think I’m about to do something?” This time, he’s the one who arches his brow–as if challenging you to prove him wrong. Of course he would figure out that you were planning to do something. Jaehyun was always smarter than he liked to let on, said it always gave him an advantage. But it’s also probably because he’s known you the longest. “Alright, so maybe I am. It’ll be okay, though, promise.”
“And you’ll be safe?”
There was no way to be sure you would be but for his sake, you lied. “Of course.”
“Okay.”
It’s easy to refuse their offer to grab some boba, a flimsy excuse leaving your lips. Normally it wouldn’t work, they would plead and plead with you until you caved, but you make sure to stand your ground. They all know what it’s like to have a professor speak with them privately, so they let you go with a promise of next time. Before you leave, Jaehyun catches your eye knowingly and you do nothing but incline your head slightly at him.
Time travel is something you think about every now and again. It’s an immensely intriguing topic and from all research you have done, no other being like yourself has managed to do it successfully. For all you know there could have been a successful attempt that wasn’t documented. But then again it could just be you comforting yourself in case it doesn’t work.
You hold onto a small photo album that you wanted to take along with you, for memories sake, and prepare yourself to say the incantation. When you finish, you wait it out. Nothing happens.
It’s strange because you know that you said everything correctly and that there is no way that a spell book that had been around for centuries (at least according to the witch that gave it to you) would contain wrong information. You frown but have to pause your train of thought because of the knocking on your bedroom door.
It’s a surprise to find Doyoung standing on the other side when you open it, holding a bag that you just know has your favorite fruit tea. Before any of you can utter a sound, there’s a strange feeling that starts to stir in your gut. In a flash it’s as if you travel through the stars at an unforgiving speed, your head spinning, before you come to a halt and feel weightless–as if you are being suspended high up in the air. Then nothingness.
*
When you come to, you find yourself in one of your favorite cafés. Your old windows laptop is sitting in front of you, notes and papers full of calculations spewn carelessly around the table.
The spell worked, you’re sure of it, but you have to confirm it just in case. A quick glance at the date on the corner of your laptop assures you that it’s the year when it all started. Not only is it the year actually, it’s also the day before you discover the magic that you possess. This time, however, you aren’t going to involve any of your friends. Curiously, after glancing around to make sure nobody is paying attention to you, you peer inside your t-shirt to check if you were still you or if you had taken ownership of your body from this timeline. There are no scabbed scratches in sight. You frown. What happened to the you in the future then? Did you just disappear? Or were you replaced by a different version of you?
Deciding that you don’t want to give yourself a headache, you focus on the screen of your laptop instead. Oh, you remember this assignment. You ended up submitting it late because you got ambushed by a kelpie. That damn kelpie lost you fifteen percent and you still haven’t let it go. Maybe you can submit it in early this time. Placing the photo album on the table, you decide to continue your assignment, searching your brain for any information you remember.
It’s an hour later when Jaehyun barges into the café, frantically making his way over to your table. “There you are! I’ve been looking for you for ages,” he tells you breathlessly, giving you a once over. “Why aren’t you dressed yet?”
Dressed? Is there a function you need to attend? You wrack your brain for a memory. Obviously it’s the day before you come into your powers but there has to be something else for Jaehyun to eye you like he is. But what is it? What’s so special about April fifteenth? April fifteenth. April fifteenth.
“Mark’s recital.” Christ, how could you forget. “Today’s Mark’s recital, right?” It’s also the day you meet Doyoung, dressed to the nines in a black pinstripe suit with his hair perfectly slicked back.
“Yes you idiot, now lets get going ‘cause I don’t want to have to fight any moms for good seats.”
Without allowing you to reply, he whisks you back to your apartment. There is a lack of extra shoes by the door and the huge, ugly ceramic vase that Doyoung insisted he buy for his plant to dress up the place is missing from the corner of the room. Your grip on the photo album tightens as you soak in the difference, unused to how empty the place looks. Evidently there’s no time for you to be caught in your feelings if the way Jaehyun practically shoves you into your room as he yells at you to change is an indication.
Mark looks dapper and you tell him as much. There’s an ache in your chest when you notice the youthfulness in his face. This is him before he becomes jaded. His appearance (the lack of dark circles, the roundness of his cheeks, the brightness in his eyes) is enough to assure you that you’ve made the correct decision.
“Don’t cry now,” Jaehyun teases, “he hasn’t even started.” They chuckle at your expense but you can’t even respond with anything witty. Not with the way they look so careless–like they don’t have anything to worry about other than upcoming assignment due dates and what movie the three of you should watch during your next movie night.
Doyoung has always been easy to spot in a crowd. Well, at least for you. So you aren’t surprised when you scan the large mass of people and find him in record time. The breath is knocked out of you when your eyes land on him even though you already know what he’d be donning. But he’s wearing those cute horn rimmed glasses that he eventually had to stop using because there were too many close calls. Every fibre of your being demands you to run over and tease him about them again like you used to. But you don’t, obviously, averting your eyes the second he turns his head. There’s no way you’re going to take away his peaceful life either, you promise yourself, eyes devouring the way he tips his head backward as his mouth falls wide open in a laugh.
*
The feral omega howls, loud and clear in the night. The beating of your heart is racing in your ears which you know it can hear from far away no matter what tricks you use to distract it. Foolishly, you forgot your wolfsbane in your apartment so you’re left to your own devices. You know this forest like the back of your hand, have run in it enough to know that there should be a small area of the flower in the east. Picking up your pace, you move in the right direction.
When you first encountered this creature, you were with Doyoung, Jaehyun and Mark. The four of you weren’t as skilled yet; Mark thought that silver would protect all of you, Jaehyun’s aim wasn’t on par, Doyoung wasn’t as good at keeping up with the pace you all had to run, and you were too headstrong to follow any directions Doyoung barked at you. Now, however, it’s easy for you to eliminate the omega after you sloppily rub wolfsbane on your weapon and aim. There are no relieved sighs or eruption of cheers that follow when it drops to the ground. Instead there’s only silence as you wave your hand, willing a hole to appear in the ground so that you can bury it.
Once you’ve magicked your clothes clean, you sluggishly head over to the pizza place without a second thought. The place is packed but considering it’s Saturday night, you aren’t shocked. As you look around, waiting patiently for your to-go order at the designated spot near the counter, there’s a familiar mess of mud brown hair capping a broad figure you know all too well. But if Johnny’s here, that means–
Taeyong and Doyoung are bickering. You can’t hear them but you’re sure it’s about something silly like it always is. Yuta is watching them amusedly, sipping on his soda as his eyes swing back and forth. You allow yourself to watch them because you miss them so, so much. It’s been a week and you’re run down by all the creatures that keep popping up in your small town. As you are about to tear your gaze away from them, Yuta catches your eye. You spot the small quirk of his brow and prepare yourself for his oncoming smirk. When he doesn’t fail to deliver, you wink saucily at him, knowing that he turns into a shy baby the minute his target flirts back. The others peer at your direction, lacking subtlety as usual, when he sinks into his chair slightly.
Fortunately your order is called out but you manage to shoot them a hesitant smile anyway, figuring that it won’t hurt anybody. They’ll probably forget about you tomorrow anyway, so it doesn’t matter.
*
Since your small celebratory pizza, you have accumulated more injuries but they’re tiny and therefore nothing to worry about. What does have you worrying, though, is the fact that you and Doyoung have crossed paths more than you’d like. At first, it seems like a coincidence; you see him a few times in the campus library or you’re both in the line for food in the canteen. But then you start seeing him outside of campus and you can’t help but find it strange.
“Hey,” Jaehyun greets over the phone. The two of you scheduled a lunch date with Mark but neither of them have shown up yet so it’s just you waiting for them boredly at your table. “Is it alright if I bring someone? We were working on a project together and we’re both famished.”
“Sure. The more the merrier, I guess. I’ll ask for an extra setting, just one extra person right?” Jaehyun gives you an affirmative then ends the call after promising to be at the diner in fifteen minutes.
“About time you got”-your voice hitches at the sight of Doyoung standing beside Jaehyun-“here.” What type of bullshit is the universe pulling? Is it purposely dangling your friends in front of you knowing that you refuse to interact with them? Aren’t you allowed to keep them as far away from you as possible, where they’ll be safe? Christ Almighty. Only Jaehyun would somehow manage to be Doyoung’s partner for his project while you were actively trying not to befriend him.
“Hi I’m Mark, nice to meet you!” The blond says cheerily, easily gesturing at the seats in front of you.
Clearing your throat, you introduce yourself. It’s just your luck that Doyoung sits in front of you, recognition settling in his eyes once you are face to face. The conversation runs smoothly once he’s introduced himself and although you know you shouldn’t, you can’t help but prattle on about various topics that you know will get him heated–you’ve always loved debating with Doyoung. There is just something about the way he words his points, bringing up necessary facts and even searching them up in order to prove you wrong. Mark and Jaehyun’s heads swing back and forth between the two of you as if they are watching a pendulum.
You didn’t realize how much you have missed his intense eyes until now. They are locked on you like you are his target and it reminds you of when you would go monster hunting, just the two of you and nobody else because both of you were stupidly confident in your plan. The debate ends when Mark diverts the conversation by mentioning dessert. Doyoung smirks smugly at the fact that he got the last word but you don’t even care about your loss, you are just content that he took the bait. The lunch ends with you trading numbers with him, passing your phones to one another over the table. Doyoung hates the picture you take of him but when you tell him to suck it up because you think he looks cute in it, he is adorably flustered.
*
On nights when you can’t drag yourself to your usual pizza spot, too lonely and aching with pain, you quietly slip into the spare room that should be occupied by Doyoung. You like to lay on the bed and imagine that you never traveled back in time, that he’s reading aloud to you like he regularly does. Instead of reading out loud while imagining the warmth that he radiates, you flip through your photo album. They are all your favorites; Yuta squishing Mark in a hug, Taeyong feeding Jaehyun a dish he cooked, Johnny staring at the sunset. But you like the ones with Doyoung the best, mostly because you are a tiny bit biased.
Sometimes you wish you could tell them. All of them. You are bursting with need to do so. But then one of them does something, like Mark smiling brightly when you visited the aquarium a few days ago or Taeyong’s proud smile because he managed to learn to strum a song on his ukelele, and it’s enough to remind you that you can’t burden them. There has been one or two incidents where you almost blurt it out but then you vividly remember their faces crumpled in pain and you can’t.
Other times you think about whether or not the future is being rewritten. Maybe you won’t even be present in the future because even though the injuries you have sustained so far have been small, it doesn’t mean that they won’t become serious in the future. Or maybe you do survive, somehow obtain your degree and find a job then start a family or something.
This time, however, you find yourself muffling your sobs in the dark as you stare at a group picture because yeah, your friends with them again somehow and you’re thankful, but you are so, so lonely. Shouldering the protection of your small town on your own is extremely difficult without anybody to lean on. Even with the knowledge you possess, executing a plan is a big obstacle considering any move that you make could end up very badly since you don’t have any back up.
Tomorrow you will shove down these feelings but tonight you allow yourself to cry until you fall asleep.
*
The pain in your arm is excruciating but you don’t stop–can’t stop. You are running as fast as you can, taking sharp turns here and there as you silently plead with your legs to keep going. You need to find a small place to rest so that you can build up some energy to use your magic but you know there isn’t anywhere to hide.
The time you have recently spent rebuilding your friendships has led you to forget about one of the worst ever monsters you have had to defeat–the pilgasari. The first time you had to execute it, you failed miserably and everyone was horribly injured. Taeyong and Mark had nightmares for weeks, Johnny and Jaehyun grew paranoid, Yuta never let any of you out of his sight and Doyoung stuck by your side for months. It is basically immortal and the only reason you managed to defeat it on your second attempt is because you were about to witness your friends die. Magical exhaustion took over you afterwards and when you woke up, you were greeted by teary eyes, pizza and a smack on the head accompanied by a lecture.
A loud roar shakes the trees, causing you to move faster out of sheer desperation. But when you swing left, you come to a screeching halt. The creature is a few feet ahead of you, it’s large eyes boring into your own as it stomps its way towards you. The spells that you yell desperately are futile, it keeps moving towards you without a hitch in its step. Christ. You are going to die. You are going to die and miss movie night tomorrow and your friends are going to mourn you forever, wondering what happened to you for the rest of their lives.
You flinch when it takes a swipe at you, dangerously close to ripping off your arm. The second your back hits a tree, you know it’s over. You don’t have enough energy anymore to even attempt a spell so all you can do is watch in fear as it towers over you, raising it’s long claws. The sound of your heart pounding isn’t loud enough to eliminate your scream as it slashes at your direction.
It manages to make an incision on your good arm and just as it raises it’s claws again, you squeeze your eyes close. And then you feel like you are traveling through the stars, speed so fast that it’s dizzying. You know this feeling. You do. You have been acquainted with it before only once and you have never been more glad to be feeling it again.
It shouldn’t be possible but when the weightlessness disappears, you find yourself staring into Taeyong’s large, moist eyes and you can’t help but huff out a weak laugh.
“Missed you.” You manage to mumble, body now painfully aware of just how many injuries you have endured. You want to reach out to him, to smooth the lines away from his forehead and assure him that you are okay but you’re arms feel like jelly, the cuts screeching in agony, so you resist tamp down the urge. Someone, Mark maybe, cries loudly and that is the last sound you hear before you succumb to your exhaustion.
*
You wake up with a start, eyes wildly scanning the room. A garbled sound escaping your lips when you notice that one of your paintings is hung up on the wall–you aren’t very good and Doyoung said as much when you presented it to him but he still framed it and hung it up in his room. If painting is up, along with the books overflowing on the shelf, that has to mean-
Your eyes dart towards the door as it opens. Jaehyun hasn’t taken notice of you yet since he is rubbing his eyes but when he does, his eyes widen and he bellows at the others. Immediately, everyone tramples in. Weakly, you raise your arm a fraction and that’s enough for them to flock towards you. They speak over each other and you can’t help but tear up at their expressions. They all look so torn up except Doyoung who stands at the door with his arms crossed, head down as he creates holes in the carpet with his burning stare.
“How did you guys bring me back?” None of them are magically inclined–just a bunch of extraordinarily brave humans who are reckless enough to join you to keep the town safe.
“We had to ask three witches for help.” Mark admits, staring at you like you might disappear if he doesn’t keep his eyes on you.
“Don’t do that to us again,” Yuta says as he takes your hand in his. “We thought we lost you forever.”
“Yeah! If we all lost our memories of you, you would have been gone forever!” Johnny exclaims.
“What do you mean?”
“Every one of us started losing our memories of you,” Taeyong answers, “except for Doyoung.” At his response, your gaze snap towards Doyoung who still refuses to meet your eyes.
“Alright, we are going to get boxes of pizza and snacks while the two of you sort everything out.” Jaehyun states, clapping his hands together, his eyes directed at Doyoung pointedly before returning to yours. “I’ve missed you so much dummy, never do that again.”
“I’ll try.” Mark squawks at your reply, eyes widening in terror as he begins to list out the reasons why you should never do it again. “I was kidding. I won’t.” The collective sagging of shoulders doesn’t escape your notice which makes you feel horrible.
Before shuffling out they touch you in different manners; Yuta lightly clutches your hand before letting go, Johnny pats your head, Jaehyun softly flicks your forehead, Mark places a heavy hand on your shoulder and Taeyong strokes your forearm.
The silence is overbearing once they leave the room. You feel like holding your breath as you wait for Doyoung to say something. Anything. But he still won’t meet your eyes. Instead he walks over to his bed and kneels at your side, crossing his arms on the mattress and resting his head on top. He is close enough for you to place your hand on his head, so you do. Your fingers card through his hair, making sure that you scrape your nails delicately on his scalp. When you notice the small tremors of his shoulders, you move your hand from his scalp to the nape of his neck then in between his shoulder blades.
“It’s okay,” you soothe quietly, wincing at the sight of the bandages that cover your arms as you rub your hand up and down his back in a constant motion. “I’m here.” You continue to murmur what you hope is enough assurance for him so that he can talk to you.
“How could you do that you absolute idiot.” Is the first thing he says, his tone harsh, when he looks up at you. “You just disappeared right in front of me and never came back! And then everybody started to forget about you!” You wince guiltily at his words. “And I- And I-” You wait patiently for him to continue. Your heart hurts at the sight of him softening as he examines your injuries. “I thought I’d lost you forever and it would be all my fault.” He continues quietly, shaking his head at you when you open your mouth to say something. “Didn’t mean what I said back then. I was just mad because you always take the hits for us, for me, and it was so bad. Almost as bad as the time we fought the chimera. You didn’t see how much blood you lost.”
“Hey, it isn’t your fault,” disbelief is written in his eyes at your statement. “It isn’t! It was all me, okay? I thought you would all be better off without knowing, so I tried to fix it.”
“But you wouldn’t have done it if I didn’t say what I did!” The exclamation is followed by a fresh wave of tears.
“Alright, how about this: it was both of our faults because we were being idiots. Sound good?”
“Only if you don’t do it again.” It’s supposed to come out as demanding, you know it is with how he has squared his shoulders and faced you determinedly, but all you see in his eyes are pleading.
“I promise I won’t.” You pledge, placing your hand on his cheek. He moves it so that it covers his eyes and something inside you breaks when you feel hot tears building up a wall against your palm and fingers. “Doyoung,” you whisper. “I’m sorry.”
“No. I’m sorry.”
“Hey,” you call gently to gain his attention when he removes your hands from his red rimmed eyes, “read to me?”
“Of course.”
You fall asleep to the sound of his voice, snuggling into his side with his arm around your shoulders. And the next morning when the others tease the two of you and show off the pictures they took, trying their damn hardest to make sure that everything feels normal and you didn’t disappear for almost three weeks, Doyoung kicks them out of the apartment so he can spend some quality time with you.

There were four things you had not expected when you had decided to break into the old abbey on a particular full moon: 1. That it would actually be inhabited 2. That it would be inhabited by people performing a satanic ritual 3. That you would end up being chased through the woods by a satanic madman 4. That you would enjoy it

🌙🕯️🩸🌙🕯️🩸🌙🕯️🩸
Chapter One “Come on, just do it!”
You stare at the massive wall, watching a small chip of stone as it crumbles to the ground. It was so damn high. Thick vines have crawled over the wall, causing part of the stone to chip and split. It was possible to get over but it didn’t look easy. You’d scouted the front of the building earlier, though the main gate had been closed. The gate had been an iron monstrosity with its twisted pattern frame and spiked top. It had taken at least ten minutes of following along the side of the building until the high fence had changed from black ironwork to old stone.
“Hurry up!”
Fuck it. With a sigh, you reach for one of the vines above you and heave yourself up as your feet scramble for purchase against the wall. Finally gaining a good foothold where some stone had crumbled away, you push yourself up and reach for the top of the wall to pull yourself up. Arms burning, you glance down and see Jake waiting for you below. It looks like the ground below is even lower, and there are no vines on the other side of the wall. It’s clear you both won’t be able to get back out this way and that makes you hesitate.
Jake glances up at you, his dark hair blowing in the wind. “Come on, just drop down. I’ve got you.”
What was it with these trust fund idiots and their need for thrills? Alright, maybe that was a bit harsh but you didn’t spend your time with the man for the enthralling tête-à-têtes. You were in it for the dick and the fact that his fancy-ass apartment had heating that actually worked.
Besides, it had sounded like such an exciting idea to break into the creepy old abbey. But that had been when you were lying in Jake’s flat with his fake fire blazing and some overpriced red wine. Out here in the biting cold with the wind whipping at your skin as you cling to cold stone it didn’t seem like such a fantastic idea. Your jeans and thick knit jumper were enough to block out enough of the autumn chill but you regretted not grabbing a coat.
“Babe, seriously, move your ass,” Jake calls out.
With a deep breath, you push your feet against the wall, stone falling away as you bring yourself further over the edge as you try to swing one leg up. You feel Jake’s hand on your foot as he reaches up to help you but there is no way to gracefully get down, and you half fall, half jump down onto the ground with a loud thump. With your feet now on solid ground, you look back at the wall. The distant street lights are completely blocked out—it was so much darker on the other side and it felt like you had stepped into another world. This place was usually avoided by the rest of the town and it was on the outskirts—there were some rumours that Satanists worshipped the devil here and that they stole babies from homes to sacrifice.
Pfft, what a load of rubbish.
It just looked like any other neglected old building, there were so many places around here that had been left to ruin—or even worse converted into a pizza chain. This particular abbey was ancient and from what you could see it looked like you had landed in some sort of courtyard. From the outside, it had certainly looked worn and you had expected it to be like any of the other abandoned places you had explored with Jake. And that would be true if you had only viewed it from the outside. But over the wall, it was a different story. A few stone benches dotted the kept lawns and there were flower beds bursting with roses. Everything was so neatly kept and there were a few stone paths that twisted throughout the grounds leading to different parts of the hunkering building. It was beautiful. There were even a few statues amidst it all, all depicting people in various states of undress.
“That one has nice tits,” you hear Jake say as he points at one of a naked woman and gives a loud whistle. “Nice ass too.” He winked at you, those stupid blue eyes of his lighting up with excitement. “Not as great as yours though, babe.”
You tried not to roll your eyes, he could be so irritating sometimes. But unlike many of the other guys he kept the company of, he actually gave good head. You couldn’t really recall what he did, something to do with accounts. It had only been a few months since you'd started seeing him—it had quite the luck when you’d bumped into him at a ritzy club that you'd snuck into. Had you been there intentionally trying to find someone with a wad of cash? Possibly. But hey, a girl couldn’t survive on instant noodles forever. You were more than willing to put up with a few quirks in exchange for the elaborate lingerie and expensive restaurants—and let’s not forget the heating. Breaking into old buildings and hunting for ghosts so he could get his little thrill were certainly not the weirdest thing you'd done for a guy. Besides, you did find it pretty exciting too.
“Are we going to explore?” you ask as you take in the grand architecture. The building itself still looks worn but you can see sections that have clearly been repaired. The old stonework is beautiful, so different to anything else in town. The huge arched windows with stained glass set in them make you wish you had come during the day. It’s hard to make out the details in the dark but you are certain they must come to life with the sun shining through the panes.
Jake takes your hand and pulls you through the courtyard, leaving the crumbling wall and outside world behind. The building sprawls out on either side of you as you follow along the main path, the spires reaching for the overcast sky—you can just make out the full moon hiding behind a tuft of cloud as it drifts on by.
You shiver from the cold wind and bury your free hand into the sleeve of your jumper. There is nothing but the sound of the wind and your footsteps as you both walk. The path twists away from the main part of the abbey and you find yourself near a large cemetery, it’s surrounded by an ornate fence with a large locked gate similar to the one that surrounds the main building. In the distance, you can see a massive mausoleum and can just make out the name “EMERITUS” carved into the top of it. Jake drops your hand as brushes past you to get a closer look at the cemetery, using a small flashlight he brought to try and read a tombstone through the gaps in the iron fence.
A large gust of wind blows against your face as you glance around, the silence making you shift on your feet. This was not what you expected to find tonight, you had figured there would at least be the cemetery or parts of the old building to explore. Maybe it was actually abandoned and had been locked up so that it was left to rot. But that didn’t explain the tidy gardens and neat paths. This place was maintained, though it seemed not a single soul was here. Weird.
Your mouth opens to say you should try the inside of the building but you pause. There’s a sound in the distance and you strain your ears to try and listen. Further ahead the path fizzles out into worn earth where a thick set of trees sway gently in the wind.
“Jake?” you say, walking up to him as he tries to pick at the lock on the gate. “Can you hear that?”
He cocks his head. “Yeah.” He stands and then moves back to the path as he stares out toward the woods. “Sounds like chanting.”
Without warning, he briskly follows the twisting path, you not far behind. It does sound like chanting, a reverberating call that you can feel in your chest the closer you get to the woods.
“Midnight mass?” Jake asks as you both continue along, the chanting growing louder with each step you take.
“It’s three in the morning!” you whisper back as your feet hit the dirt, twigs and leaves crunching under your sneakers are approach the dense crop of trees. Between the tall trunks, you can spy a flickering light. It’s dim but the shapes and shadows moving against the trunks of the trees and the scent in the air make you think it must be a fire burning. Your skin prickles in anticipation as you both move in close, the trees swallowing you as you creep in amongst the fallen branches and sprawling moss. The chanting is growing louder now and you can make out the words though you do not understand them.
“Siamo Con Clavi.”
With each step you take you feel the excitement build and you quicken your pace, moving ahead of Jake as you step over large roots and duck under overhanging branches. You’d never come across any other people while exploring, save for the lonely mourner in a cemetery. But this! Perhaps it was just going to be a bunch of teenagers but you couldn’t help the excitement that shot down your spine. It made you understand why Jake did it. It was thrilling.
As the trees began to thin, you lower yourself closer to the ground. The chanting is clear now and the smell of fire burns your nostrils. Jake shuffles behind you and you both huddle behind the trunk of a large oak, your hands gripping the cold bark as you kneel down amongst the fallen branches and dirt. A clearing is visible ahead of you and you suck in a breath at the sight of cloaked figures all sitting along stone benches, their backs to you as they continue to chant in low voices. There had to be at least thirty people there. In front of them is the large fire you had smelt, the flames twisting in a deep pit before a stone altar. They all watch a man as they continue to chant, in his hands he holds a large ceremonial dagger and you can see the sharp blade glinting in the light of the fire.
“Siamo Con Dio.”
“This is insane,” you hear Jake whisper in your ear. “Actual Satanists.” He pulls you closer. “Was not expecting those rumours to get something right.”
The man with the dagger speaks, though you don’t understand a word that leaves his lips. It sounds like Italian, though it could be Latin. No matter what it is, his voice was strangely soothing, like a gentle lull. It was clear that everyone present was hanging onto every word and you leant closer, your cheek against the side of the tree trunk as you listened.
The man had to be some sort of priest, he looked like a pope with the robes and tall hat he had on. Granted your knowledge about religion was pretty limited but there was no way this man was just some looney acting out a scene. The robes he wore looked too fine and far too expensive. They shimmered in the firelight. When he moves closer to the fire, the light brings his face into relief. The painted skull face was startling in the flickering orange flame but it was nowhere near as strange as the one white eye. It appeared to glow and you could not fathom how you had not noticed it sooner. It was almost hypnotic in its eerieness.
“Siamo Con Il Nostro Dio Scuro.”
Those gathered before him repeat the words before someone rises from one of the benches. A nun? It was hard to tell but from the long black veil upon their head that would have been your guess—though it was shortly removed from her head, revealing dark hair that streamed down her back and glinted in the flames of the fire. You hold your breath as the cloak drops from her shoulders, revealing her naked skin. The strange priest holds out a hand and she moves towards him, her hand reaching for his almost reverently.
The horrible thought that they were going to sacrifice this woman makes your heart start to race but the man takes the dagger in his hand and presses the tip of it into one of his own fingers. The burning fire fills your nose as the man takes his wounded finger and moves it over her. You can’t quite see what he’s doing until she turns to face the rest of the congregation. Her chest has a strange inverted crucifix painted upon it in the blood, it looks almost black in the red light of the fire.
“What the fuck,” you hear Jake whisper.
“Maybe we should go…?”
You make no move to leave. It feels impossible to look away. There must have been some sort of incense in the fire because the heavy smell is making you feel pleasantly relaxed despite the cold air and your uncomfortable position on the ground.
“Shh, babe. Nobody at the office is going to believe this, we can’t leave now.”
With your eyes still fixed on the scene before you, you watch as the naked woman is led towards the stone altar before she sits on it. Her back is to you as she faces the priest while he speaks more words you don’t understand. It must have been freezing for her, but it's clear she doesn’t care as she lets the priest reach out and gently help her to lie down on the stone. There are black candles on the altar by her head and in an instant they are lit. You shake your head, wondering on how earth they did that but the thought is immediately forgotten when the priest begins to trail his fingers all over her body. Your eyes widen when you witness his hands disappear between her thighs. The moan that escapes the woman’s lips ripples around the dense wood and you squeeze your own thighs together.
Fucking hell.
“Saremo uniti davanti al signore oscuro.”
His words float through the night air and your face burns as you continue to watch. Well, you had been looking for something exciting and well, here you were. It’s also incredibly erotic. And while it is hard to see from your hiding spot, you can clearly hear the moans that escape the woman's lips as the man pulls her down the altar so her legs hang off the edge. In a matter of seconds, he shifts the fabric of his robes and thrusts into her. The guttural sound that tears from his throat makes you shudder and you squeeze your thighs together again. Are you seriously getting turned on by Jack Skellington and his fucking satanic ritual?
Above the clouds have revealed the moon and its light shines on the scene before you. It’s like the man had suddenly been possessed as the snap of his hips become erratic and rough, his hand gripping the woman by the hips tightly. You are certain your knickers are soaked already and you inch a little closer, trying to rub your thighs together as you do.
“Fuck, that’s hot.” You feel Jake shift next to you, the heat of his body pressing against your side as a hand slips around your middle and makes its way down your jeans. “Fuck, babe.”
You have to bite back your own moan when you feel the press of his already hard cock against your thigh as his fingers slide down into your knickers. A ragged breath hisses through your teeth when they finally slide through your wet slit. Eyes still firmly fixed on the strange ritual before you, you let Jake slip two fingers into your pussy as he rubs himself against you.
“Maybe when they’re done I will fuck you there,” he pants in your ear. As hot as that would be you wish he would shut up.
Another moan echoes around the clearing as the priest continues to fuck the woman on the altar, everyone else simply sitting there in absolute silence as they watch. The man is muttering something, though it’s said too low for you to hear and you strain to hear his voice, trying to block out the sound of Jake’s laboured breath against your ear.
“Papa, per favore, concedimi la tua liberazione!”
The woman is writhing beneath him now, her hands desperately trying to reach for him but the man snatches at her wrists and pins her down. You press your hips down on the fingers inside you, trying to chase your own release. It was then that the man looked up past the moaning woman beneath him and those gathered to look straight at you. There was no way he could see you and Jake hidden in the darkness of the trees but that gaze was piercing right through you, and the look on his face was absolutely feral.
You couldn’t tear your eyes away as you watched him pump into her, the sounds escaping his throat making your own movements speed up as you try desperately to create friction against Jake’s fingers. The eeriness of the priest’s strange white eye glows in the night, making you feel like a small animal trapped by a much larger predator. Jake’s fingers continue to erratically thrust into you, but it was the way the priest held your gaze and the animalistic growl that tore from his throat that sent your orgasm ripping through you.
Another brutal moan tears from the priest’s throat, his gaze never leaving yours as his movements become more erratic. You could see the woman below him trying to reach for his ornate robes but he keeps her held down before he gives one last shuddering groan before spilling inside her.
A muttered, “Nema,” leaves his lips as he withdraws from her and those before him repeat it back.
“Figli miei, siamo osservati.” Whatever he says makes every head turns towards where you are hidden. The priest helps the woman sit up as another person comes and covers her. “Puoi avere l'uomo. Lascia la donna.”
They all remove their cloaks then and you have to bite back the scream. While some are dressed like the usual sort of priest or nun in shades of black, some are completely naked. And it’s naked ones that make Jake hastily remove his hand from your pants and you to scurry back. They looked like they were covered in fur, and their pointed ears and small horns were horribly unnerving with how incredibly real they looked. As they moved closed towards you, you noticed that they had tails which whipped around with barely contained energy. And the eyes. They glowed like fire.
They looked like demons.
“Shit.” Jake was getting to his feet and hastily scrambling in his pocket for his flashlight. “What the fuck are those.”
They were all moving towards you now, though your gaze had drifted back to the priest who was simply just standing there, his eyes locked on yours. You felt as if you couldn’t look away.
“Babe, let’s fucking go.” He yanked your arm and pulled you to your feet as the sounds of snapping twigs signalled that they were all coming closer.
That made you tear your gaze and away begin to run. The flashlight wasn’t very strong but it was enough to help your way through the dense wood as you followed closely behind Jake. You tried to keep up with him but he was so much faster than you, his long legs making it easier for him to jump over fallen branches and weave through the overgrowth. The breath was knocked from you when you tripped over a thick tree root, sending you hurtling into the dirt with a thud.
“Come on, get up.” Came Jake's desperate voice as he started to come back towards you, however, he stopped immediately a few feet away, his gaze stuck on something behind you.
You snapped your head to look behind and saw one of those weird creatures. Its hot breath was visible in the cold air and you could actually see the claws protruding from its large hands.
“Hello.” It had a beautiful voice, it was melodic. But the smile on its face was full of malevolent delight and it only highlighted the sharp teeth.
Jake swore and then the fucking cowards bolted. You shouted his name but he didn’t even turn around. That fucking bastard! You hastily got to your feet and followed after him, hearing the sound of the creature behind you as your ran. Your feet slapped hard against the damp ground as you went, you had no idea where you were going. The clearing had not seemed that far from the cemetery but the woods felt so thick and dense now. You must have gone the wrong way.
Fuck, fuck, fuck!
You stopped and tried to gain your breath back. At least you couldn’t hear that creature. There were no sounds except for the whistling wind and your heart pounding in your chest. No footsteps, no words, no screams. Nothing.
Searching around desperately, you spy the flickering light of the fire in the distance and head towards it. You approach carefully but there is nobody in sight. The candles upon the altar are burning brightly and the scent of the fire is strong this close. You have no idea what they are burning but the scent of it is heavy and sweet. Approaching the altar, you can make out symbols that are carved into the granite. Some you recognise as symbols of Satan but others you don’t—one being the strange inverted crucifix the man had painted in blood on the woman’s chest.
“E dove vai, agnellino?”
Spinning around you find yourself before the skull-painted priest. He merely stands there, hands clasped in front of him as he watches you carefully.
You take a step back automatically, then another, your legs hitting the altar. The man doesn’t move a muscle.
“I will leave—I am leaving.” You place your hands in the air as if trying to placate a wild animal. “We didn’t mean to intrude.” You swallow nervously. “I won’t say anything. I promise. We were just exploring.” You feel like you are babbling but you are terrified, was this madman going to gut you or let those strange creatures eat you?
“Do you know what tonight is?” the man asks, his words accented and soft. Nobody looking the way he did should sound like that. Maybe it was whatever was burning in the flames but his low voice was captivating.
You shake your head in confusion. “Wednesday?”
He smiles at you but it only makes you feel more nervous. “It is a Hunter’s Moon. Not a good night to be a lost little lamb all alone.”
What the hell was a Hunter’s Moon? You glance up at the sky and can see that the moon is partially obscured by the drifting clouds once more. Whatever it is you don't like the sound of it.
“I can leave,” you say. “Please, I never meant to intrude. Don't hurt me.”
Trying to slowly inch yourself around the altar and create some distance you try to not let his words frighten you. His hungry gaze follows you, seemingly amused at your fear.
“I won't hurt you, agnellino.” The man laughs, the sound echoing in the silence. "At least, not in a way you won't enjoy. A little pain is good for the soul."
This was a nightmare, surely. Wild creatures and skeleton madmen. You've managed to put the altar between you, granted he hasn't made a single effort to move. The way he stands there so calmly is more unnerving than anything and you can't believe that mere moments ago you'd cum at the sight and sound of him fucking someone else. That manages to shift some of the fear away as you glance down at the altar, remembering the absolutely feral way he had thrust into that woman upon it. You feel your face burn in embarrassment at the memory of it.
“I could smell you,” he says, making you look back up. He takes a careful step towards you, the sound of a twig snapping underneath a heavy boot loud in the silence of the clearing. The strange face stretches into a smirk. “I can still smell you.”
You take a step backwards, your hands balling into fists in anticipation of bolting. You are certain that behind you is the direction you originally had come in. If you head straight, you can return to the abbey and hopefully find a way out. Or find that bastard Jake—or someone else who wasn't insane.
“Will you run, agnellino?” The man takes another step as the clouds above finally unveil the bright light of the moon. You feel everything grow still for a moment, the wind completely disappearing and a horrible sucking silence engulfs the clearing. The fire behind him glows, the sparks flaring up into the air and sparking ash to the ground.
There is something in the way he looks at you, he’s all calm and collected but there is an energy about him—as if he is waiting for something. Your head is screaming at you to run but your feet feel as if they have become one with the cold earth and refuse to move. So captivated by his mismatched eyes that it’s almost hypnotic.
“It is more fun if you run.”
You feel a brief flicker of something shimmering over the exposed skin of your hands, face and ankles before the wind returns and pulls at the fabric of your clothes in a fervent rush of sudden movement. That sparks something and you hastily turn without another thought, sucking in a cold lungful of air as you run across the clearing and back into the thicket of trees.
Feet slapping against the ground and your heart pounding in your ears you race through the woods. There were no sounds of following from behind and you sucked in another large breath of frigid air as you came bursting out of the clearing and spied the large abbey in front of you. There was no way you were going back over the wall again and so you pelt as hard as you can towards a large open arch. Your feet hit cold marble and the sound of your footsteps echo in the cavernous space as you try to keep your pace up. The space narrows and you find yourself in a large hall, large doors open in every direction and the grand architecture spilling above you in twists and turns of dark marble. If you hadn’t been terrified and chased by an absolute madman then perhaps you would marvel at the beauty carved into the stone but for now, you ignore it. Picking any open door, you raced through, candles guttering as you pelt down another large hallway until you were suddenly in a massive cathedral. Tall black candles surrounded many pews and the huge pulpit with its carved teeth and horns made it look like a demon leering down from above.
Where had all those people disappeared to? And where the fuck had Jake gone? If you ever saw him again you were going to kick him so hard in the dick that he wouldn’t be able to walk for a week.
This was no way out though so you quickly turn on your heel and go to hurry back through the large doors. As you reach the door, a hand suddenly closes over your mouth while an arm snakes around your waist. Dragged back, the scream from your lips muffles against the warm hand as you are pulled against a firm chest.
“See, much more fun,” comes a voice right by your ear. And there is no mistaking that voice.
You try to elbow him with your arms pinned to your side and then dig your nails into his thighs through the fabric of his robes. A hiss against your neck makes you dig your nails even further, the adrenaline kicking in and making you fight harder as the blood rushes in your head.
Again, you try to scream but the sound is muffled against his hand. You move to try and bite his fingers but you feel something sharp dig into your side and his mouth on your neck, pointed teeth scraping at your skin. "We can play that game if you like, mia dolcezza." The sting of fangs on your neck—for that is the only way you can describe them—causes you to suck in a sharp breath. They can't be human teeth, it felt too sharp. Too hot. The nip of them on your sensitive flesh burns but it also makes you squeeze your legs together, making you wonder what on earth was wrong with you for getting turned on by the clearly insane man that held you. You go snarl something at him but the words don't even begin to form as another man comes striding into the cathedral. He is dressed nearly the same as the one holding you but the robes are not as ornate and they shimmer in a deep green. His face is also so much harsher, looking like the resurrected skeleton of some domineering demon with his painted skull face and towering height.
At first, you think to run towards him, but the look on this newcomer's face makes you hesitate. There is something unnatural about his face and when he smiles at you, pointed teeth eerily bright you press back into the warm chest behind you.
“And who is this?” they ask in a low gravelly voice.
The arms around you grip you tighter and pull you closer. You can feel his heart racing and a bulge against your lower back, his hot ragged breath skittering against your neck.
“Il mio,” he growls. “Vaffanculo, Secondo!”
“You are not going to share, Copia?” The one called Secondo keeps his gaze fixed on you, his mismatched eyes glowing in the dim light of the cathedral. “Such a shame she will have to settle for cazzo mediocre.” He laughs. “Poor bella, stuck with the rat.”
“Leave.” The word is snarled out, the sound of it reverberating off the walls. This Secondo looks taken aback for a moment before the smile returns and he lifts his arms up placatingly.
“Apologies…Papa.”
The man gives an overexaggerated bow and turns to leave, shutting the large doors with an echoing clang.
NEXT CHAPTER --------- Saremo uniti davanti al signore oscuro. - We shall be united before the dark lord. Papa, per favore, concedimi la tua liberazione! - Papa, please, grant me your release! Figli miei, siamo osservati. Puoi avere l'uomo. Lascia la donna - My children, we are being watched. You can have the man. Leave the woman. E dove vai, agnellino? - And where are you going, little lamb? Agnellino - little lamb Il mio. Vaffanculo, Secondo! - Mine. Fuck off, Secondo!

Kent's Black Squirrel Mania
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Throughout the city of Kent and neighboring municipalities, it is impossible to miss all the Black Squirrels. Aside from seeing the actual rodents scurrying around suburban yards and the university grounds, images of Black Squirrels are proudly displayed on bumper stickers and students’ tee-shirts. The nexus of the Black Squirrel mania is Kent State University which, every year, hosts its annual Black Squirrel festival, the pinnacle of Black Squirrel pride. But why all the love for this seemingly common animal?
Before researching this piece, I never knew that Black Squirrels were anything special. Since childhood, I have seen them everywhere: in my neighbors’ grass, in the forests, in trees near my home, even in urban settings. I see them at my university where they steal specks of food discarded along sidewalks and only show any kind of trepidation towards humans when you’re mere inches away from them! In my experience, Black Squirrels are brave, ornery, strong, and mini-but-mighty mammals determined to harvest and feast upon acorns and rubbish, alike. I never knew that these creatures are so special and unique to Northeast Ohio, and that they hadn’t always been here until recently.
The saga of how Black Squirrels came to Kent (and eventually proliferated through the rest of Northeast Ohio) began in 1961, when Kent State University groundskeeper superintendent, Larry Woodell, traveled to London, Ontario. There, he encountered a plethora of exotic-looking Black Squirrels. Prior to his trip to Canada, Woodell had only ever seen a single Black Squirrel once in Chardon. After conducting some research, Woodell discovered that Black Squirrels, which once thrived throughout the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Valley regions, were quickly decreasing in number in Northeast Ohio. Woodell and Davey Tree employee, “Biff” Staples, proceeded to enact “Operation Black Squirrel.” According to a 2013 Kent State University College of Education, Health, and Human Services newsletter, “[t]he pair worked with the United States and Canadian governments to transport Black Squirrels to Kent in a time period of around six months,” to reintroduce them to the region’s ecosystem. The Canadian Black Squirrels proceeded to mix with Ohio’s native squirrel population, and the initial ten quickly became hundreds.
Since the 1960s, the Black Squirrel population has sharply increased and spread throughout Northeast Ohio and the rest of the state. Benjamin Peters of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reported in 2019 that the squirrels are common within the Cleveland Metroparks system and throughout Cuyahoga County. I frequently see them around Northeast Ohio, myself. Their unique coloring is a result of, “a rare genetic hiccup that can occur in any gray or fox squirrel” (Peters). Greg Smith, assistant professor of biological sciences at Kent State University at Stark predicts that, as Ohio’s forest cover increases, so too will Black Squirrel populations.
The population increase of Black Squirrels mirrors the animal’s ballooning cultural significance in the region. They are considered by many to be Kent State University’s unofficial mascot. Each year, the university hosts its Black Squirrel 5K Race and the Black Squirrel Festival, where students distribute custom Black Squirrel themed shirts and local vendors come together to celebrate the beloved creatures. The university’s student radio station is called Black Squirrel Radio. You can purchase Black Squirrel Blend Coffee from Bent Tree Coffee Roasters in Kent. Many Kent landmarks pay homage to the tiny animal: Black Squirrel Gifts and Squirrel City Jewelers in Acorn Alley are just a few. When asked about what the Black Squirrel means to her school, Kent State University student, Jenna Molinari, told me, “They’re so much fun and they… add such a unique spin on the history of our campus! I mean, everyone who comes to Kent comments on them and I just love that.”

Lush
Explicit, 5k, Fenrir Greyback/Tom Riddle | Voldemort
You come home the day after the coronation well and truly miserable. Not for any terrible reason—you’d gone out to a Muggle pub that advertised its new telly for the event, you’d gotten drunk and found a queen of your own in the audience, and you’d spent the night getting very suitably fucked by him. Misery, from a hangover and a night out, was just the natural price to pay for it, now that you were in your mid-twenties and not eighteen. 
But your misery sours, from expected to undue, when you find the lock of your front door bashed in. The brass knob hangs skew with its cylinder out and the bolt off-alignment. Your shitty flat doesn’t have much of value—not where someone can easily get it, anyway—but it’s not as though you could afford to replace all the rubbish you do own at once. The door swings open at a touch. You rub your forehead and toss your keys in their bowl, because at least that’s still there.
The path of destruction, laced in dirty footprints and things knocked over, leads to a man. On your sofa. Piss-drunk and asleep, you think, until you step into the room.
“Oi,” he says, this lumpy intruder into your space, like he’s one of the hooligans at the pub. 
Given he follows it with nothing else, it seems that it’s supposed to be a greeting. A greeting. In your own home.
So you pull your wand on him, send him a shock that makes him yelp and sit up, and demand: “What are you doing here?”
“You locked your cat out,” he says.
“I don’t have a cat,” you say.

Tumblr media
Anonymous: can i get uuuuhh ‘lilas’ with pretty boy katsuki 🥺💕💕
a/n: hell yes you can! I went a bit overboard with this request but I hope you love it! Also i’m running off the non-canon idea that Katsuki’s hero name is Ground Zero here.
Tumblr media
Pro Hero Ground-Zero is an asshole. He’s an attractive one, but an asshole nonetheless. The explosive blonde was the hero on patrol this morning, when a villain decided to attack some old lady in the middle of the street. Ground Zero fought the villain and left behind a crater in his wake. One you are currently staring at, steam almost coming out of your ears. Because that crater consisted of half of your flower shop.
Are you fucking kidding me? You hear the news reporters behind you, talking to their cameramen about what went down on this normally quiet street. 
“This morning, Pro Hero Ground Zero successfully defeated a villain known to police as ‘FrostBite’. The villain has been responsible for many civilian attacks recently, he’s been linked to a heist just three days ago, which saw the criminals get away with over fourteen thousand…” You tune out the reporter's voice as you step back into your shop, through the gaping hole that was once your front exterior wall. Great, this is so fucking what I needed right now, you think. 
This whole shit fest is the icing on an already bad cupcake. It started when a woman had come into the store just last week, complaining about your goods. Which caused such a ruckus that an inspector was called, only for him to find some bullshit excuse that had stopped you from selling coffee’s in your hybrid cafe/flower shop momentarily. Add on top of that the fact that you are currently in your final semester of university and you’re about to sit your final exams in literally three days.  The word stressed does not even come close to describing your inner turmoil right now.
“-and here he is now! Ground Zero! Can you give us any information about what happened today?” The reporter asks.
“A villain got what he fucking deserved, the end.” A deep voice says from behind you, and you just know it’s him. Clenching your fists, you resist the urge to turn around and scream at the man. What about what you deserved? You look around your store once more and stifle a whimper at all the damage; crumbling walls, plants scattered across the floor, pots shattered and your precious neon sign. Broken. You kneel down and pick up the now dull yellow neon light and feel your eyes begin to sting. This shop had been your dream since you were a little girl, and now it was torn apart by a villain.
“I do my job, and I do it well. Write that in your fucking paper.” The hero reiterates again. Pure fury floods your brain until you are seeing red. Spinning around, your eyes focus onto the battered hero and the flawless reporter, and suddenly, all you want to do is scream. Your mouth begins moving before your brain can follow and say it's a bad idea. 
“You do your job well?!” You hiss at them. Everyone’s attention moves from the asshole hero to you, your apron covered in dirt and rubble from when your front wall crumbled right in front of you, because a villain was physically thrown through it.
“You destroyed my store!” Ground Zero’s face flushes red in anger as he stares at you with his scarlet eyes. If you weren’t so mad, you could maybe appreciate how handsome he is, but currently you can see too much damage - expensive damage - to even think like that.
“That villain was a threat to society, he got what he deserved. You should be thanking me, you damn extra!”
“Thanking you? You left a DAMN HOLE IN MY FUCKING STORE!” You scream at Ground Zero. “And what about what I deserve? I don’t deserve to have to pay for all of these fucking damages that you caused!” The anger seeps out of you as you look at the small crowd around your store, gawking at you. You can’t imagine that this is a normal response for heroes to get from civilians. What a mess…
“Y/n!” A voice interrupts the crowd and you look to the right where someone is pushing through the mass of people slowly, to get into the store. The second your best friend & work colleague see’s the damage, she lets out a sad sigh and looks your way.
“Oh sweety…” you hold up your hand, making them stop from walking in. 
“There’s broken glass everywhere. Let me clean up first,” You whisper, suddenly ashamed of your outburst. Ground Zero had been doing a civil duty, and you’d just jumped on his case about the damage he caused? Good one y/n, real smooth. Turning your back on the hero and the crowd, you weave around smashed pots and dead plants, reaching behind the counter for the broom you keep there and begin to sweep up the mess. You can hear the group begin to disperse, but can’t get rid of the feeling that someone is watching you. Looking over your shoulder, your eyes lock onto the vermilion gaze of the upcoming hero, known for his brash attitude towards reporters. Your breath catches in your throat as his intense stare seems to look into you more deeply than anyone ever has. Like he’s analysing your very being and everything about you. You shift away from him, grabbing the plastic rubbish bags you leave next to the till for the frequent mishaps that happen in your store, and you get to cleaning.
What a mess.
❀ ❀ ❀
 For the past two nights since your shop was damaged, you’ve been crashing with your best friend who deemed it unsafe for you to stay at your apartment located above the partially destroyed store. You didn’t have the energy to argue against them at the time, so now as you walk down the main street towards your shop, you’re thinking about how strange it is that you need to travel to get to work. At least it's a sunny day, so surely this has to mean something good... You hope. 
But as you round the corner convenience store on your block, you stop in your tracks. In front of your pathetically boarded up store, stands a tall man in black jeans and a matching jumper, the hood pulled up over his head. Because that’s not suspicious at all. Unfortunately, he’s leaning up against your front door, so you’re going to have to at least ask him to move.
“Uh, excuse me?” His head whips towards you, and your gaze immediately locks onto the ash blonde hair that peeks out from under the hood, and the matching eyebrows partially hidden by his dark sunglasses. It’s him, Ground Zero. Here. At my store. You don’t have the drive like you did the other day to be mad, so instead you keep walking towards your store with a raised eyebrow aimed at the pro hero. 
“Shouldn’t you be patrolling somewhere Ground Zero?” You ask the man as you approach. He shifts away from the door, but doesn’t move far, allowing you to use your keys to unlock it. Not that locking the door would do anything to deter intruders considering there’s a fucking hole where the almost floor to ceiling windows once stood. 
“It’s my day off.” Now that you’re not overcome with rage towards the man, you can appreciate the deep tone to his voice. One so alluring it sends chills down your spine. Do not go there, seriously y/n. No, it doesn't matter that you’re not mad, he’s still an ass.
“Good for you.” You mutter, before stepping through the doorway. You had cleaned up a lot of the debris from the room over the past two days, but the council wouldn’t let you begin working on the wall until today, as they had to deem it still structurally sound before you went around doing things. Hopefully, if all went well, you would have the shop open again in less than two weeks. 
You notice that the further you walk into Daisy Chains, the hero follows. You place your bag on the till and round to face him, leaning your weight against the wooden counter.
“Are you here to mug me or something?” What use did a pro hero have to you? What use did he have coming here either?
“I’m a fucking hero dumbass, its literally my job to detain people who do that.” He growls, his vermilion gaze forming a scowl that really shouldn’t be attractive on him, but somehow is.
“Well how am I supposed to know? First, you damage my shop, then show up in all black, glaring at me and following me into an empty store?” You challenge, meeting his intense glare straight on. If he thinks he’s intimidating you like this, well he’s right. But, you’re not going to let him know that.
“I’m here to help.” His voice echoes throughout the dead quiet store. For a moment, all you can do is blink at the somewhat stranger. He lets out a growl at you that has you steeling your spine.
“You kick up such a fuss about your fucking store, then what? Don’t want help when it's handed to you?” Ground Zero barks at you, bringing you out of your stupor.
“I’m just surprised is all.” Your honesty makes him pause. “But if you’re serious, I’ll take the offer. It wouldn’t hurt to have another set of hands.” You’re not an idiot, you know you’ve got a lot of work to do in order to get the shop back up and running, and considering you’re not the only employee here and it's your livelihood, you need it up and running as soon as possible. 
“The contractor says it's going to take about two weeks.” You comment.
“Then we’ll do it in one. I’ve only got a few days off, so we need to get this done soon.” Ground Zero replies with a blank expression, before getting up off his spot of leaning against the wall. You can’t help but admire his determination, especially to fix something he may have helped cause. A lot of hero’s you know wouldn’t even have bothered to come back for this, it was just another ‘ casualty of the job’. But for some reason Ground Zero did, and you weren’t about to look the gift horse in the mouth. 
“If i’m going to have a stranger help me out for the next couple of days, don’t I have the right to know their name?” You ask, walking forward towards him. He straightens up at your approaching figure - as if going on the defensive, and you notice as you come to a stop that he’s quite a bit taller than you. His nose would touch your forehead if he bent forward, no wonder he wasn’t intimidated by me when you yelled at him the other day. 
“Y/n Y/l/n, proud owner of Daisy Chains.” Sticking out your hand, Ground Zero looks between your eyes and your hand for a moment before reaching forward and gripping it.
“Katsuki Bakugou, also known as Ground Zero.” He introduces, shaking your hand. You can’t help but notice how calloused it is compared to your own. Well he literally works with his hands due to that explosive quirk of his.
“Katsuki Bakugou…” You breathe, testing the words out on your tongue. You glare half-heartedly at Katsuki, “I still don’t like you.” You finish, pulling your hand away from the blonde. He huffs at you and scowls. 
“The feelings fucking mutual. Let’s get this shit done.” Katsuki orders, pushing up the sleeves of his hooded jumper and walks over to the boarded up wall, grabbing a hammer as he moves. He’s definitely determined, that's for sure. One however, can also describe Katsuki as elegant. You observe the way that he moves; every motion fluid with a sort of grace you wouldn’t have pinned with someone like him. He yanks of his hood as he begins to pull the nails out of the wooden beams. Strong too. Unfortunately, his sweater hides his defined biceps that you know are there due to seeing him the other day in his hero costume and you - nope, stop right there. Shaking your head to clear your wandering thoughts, you reach over to the tool kit your best friend brought over for you to borrow and follow Katsuki’s lead and begin ripping down the wood.
With two sets of hands, things get done much faster than you had originally thought it would. You had ripped out the hastily put up wood, and began to demolish the rest of the damaged structure like the contractors had marked out for you. Due to being too poor to afford builders, you had planned to do the whole thing yourself, so as much as you hated to admit it, Katsuki’s presence was actually a major help. Not like you’d tell him that anyways. By the time it was five thirty that evening, you had already begun to put up the interior wall structure. Katsuki somehow knew what the hell he was doing, and barely had to look at the tips the contractor wrote down for you. When you had questioned him, he’d just barked at you to mind your own dang business, and proceeded to pout like a child for the next hour. Some of your neighbours had brought some temporary fencing to put across the front of the store to try and stop people from getting in during the day - and you had thanked them profusely as they waved it off. Because you were only twenty one, the owners of the shops either side of you had taken you under their wings so to speak. The old lady who ran the bakery next door often ‘made too much’ bread and gave some to you, and you in response 'accidentally ordered too many of her favourite roses’ so they’d go to waste if she didn’t take them. And when they’d seen Katsuki, he’d just huffed and managed to find something to do on the opposite side of the store. He’s a strange one that Ground Zero. 
As the sky kept darkening, you look from the star speckled darkness slowly settling outside to your watch and decide to call it a day. Reaching over your head, you groan as your muscles pull tightly and ache from all the labour. 
“I think we should call it a day Katsuki.” You yawn, looking over to the blonde who has already started to pack up the tools. He glances at you when he’s done, and dusts his hands on his black jeans. 
“I’ll be here tomorrow at eight. Don’t be fucking late or I’ll break in the door to get in.” Katsuki promises, before pushing out said door. 
“I won’t pay for that damage!” You call after him, watching as his shoulders tense in annoyance at your words. Holding in your laugh, you observe as he pulls his hood over his head and stalks down the street, slipping into the shadows like he’s made of them. You let out a sigh and lean back against the counter, suddenly feeling much more optimistic about your store and its progress now that Katsuki’s helping.
He definitely is a strange one. 
For the next three days, your progress clicks like clockwork. Arriving at eight am and leaving at seven when it gets too dark and you’re both too tired to do much more, the store is slowly coming back together. Last night, you’d even ordered take out and actually had a civilised meal together. Sitting on the floor of Daisy Chains, you’d both eaten gyūdon, conversing in innocent small talk whilst you gaped at the hot sauce that Katsuki kept adding to his food. He had smirked at your expression, which then resulted in a two hour Q&A with pro hero Ground Zero. Where you learnt that he absolutely loves spicy food, likes mountain climbing of all things, and can actually cook - which you only learnt because he called the food bland and was offended when you sassed saying that he couldn’t do any better. Apparently, he can. It was a weird experience, getting to know Katsuki as someone other than Ground Zero, Pro Hero destined to be number one - his words of course. It was actually… Nice, talking to him. Your heart jumped around inside your chest like an overexcited child in those moments, just getting to know him and seeing his lips tick up ever so slightly for the first time at a joke you cracked. And you need your heart to stop. You have no reason to feel like this, if anything you should be mad. No, you think. He’s using his days off, things he’s mentioned that he rarely gets, to help you fix something that - yes, he caused damage to, but could have just left alone. 
You let out a sigh at your confused thoughts and dip the paintbrush back into the bucket on the floor. Your feelings towards the confident blonde are perplexing at best. Yet, as you look around the nearly completed store, and the painting you have left to do, you couldn’t help but want him there. Sure, you argue - a lot, but you also really enjoy his company. And no, it wasn’t because around midday every day, he’d shed his jumper and you’d be graced with toned muscles bulging out of his tank singlet. 
Except he had mentioned to you last night that he wasn't coming in today because he was back on patrol. It’s fine really, you have managed to get a lot done today anyways, as a lot of the heavy lifting had already been finished earlier this week. You had given the new wall a coat of primer after the window installation guys had come in and done their job on the brand spanking new windows that made your bank account cry. Having them back in and the wall officially closed in, you were also finally able to move back into your apartment upstairs and off your friends couch, which was a massive relief. 
Dipping your brush back into the paint, you look at the rest of the wall that has to be done. You had decided earlier that you may as well give the rest of the store a bit of a face lift whilst you were at it. Half of it was completed when you had to take a break before you gassed yourself with the paint fumes. Deciding to leave the back door open and turn on the fan, that usually is only made use of in the summertime to attempt to decontaminate the air, but the store still reeked of paint fumes. So you settled on keeping the front door open using a cinder block. It was working, gradually. 
Slowly, the sun set behind the skyscrapers and you are still painting. Letting out a yawn, you carefully paint around the edge of the window frame, trying not to either touch the tape you had previously put down or let any drip onto the paint cloth on the floor. You are so focused on the task that you don’t notice someone has walked into the store until they speak.
“You shouldn’t leave the front door open like that dumbass, some creeper is going to take that as an opportunity to come in.” You let out a terrified scream and the paintbrush flies out of your hand and onto the floor. Placing a hand to your chest to slow your thundering heart, you look to Katsuki who's standing in the middle of the store, arms crossed on his chest, his usual glare ever so intensely settled on you, and still dressed in his hero costume. Good gracious.
“I thought you had patrol?” you ask, not moving an inch. It feels like forever since you’ve seen him in his hero costume, and somehow it looks even better then it did the first time you saw him in it. But your opinion may be biased seeing as you’ve unfortunately found yourself thinking of the hero constantly recently. He’s grown on you, like an annoyingly attractive fungus you can’t seem to get rid of. 
“Just finished up. Thought I would come over here and see how slowly you’ve been going.” He smirks. You almost choke on your saliva as you look at his ticked up lips. Is he…  Teasing me right now? 
“Slow? I’ll have you know that i’m moving much faster today than I have with your help Mr Pro Hero.” You sass, picking up the brush and moving to continue on the wall.
“Obviously, that's why you're still going at this time.” You know he’s only trying to rile you up, but you can’t stop yourself from shooting him a playful glare over your shoulder at him But as you move, you find him no longer standing there. Katsuki’s fishing behind your front counter for something, and you’re about to ask what he’s looking for before he walks towards you, a paintbrush in hand. You blink at him as he stands next to you, dips the new brush in the paint and begins to pick up where you left off.
Your brain can’t seem to comprehend that he’s here, when he said he was super busy, in his hero costume, helping you paint. You’re unsure as to how long you’ve been standing there staring at him for, until Katsuki looks at you with a frown.
“You better not start fucking slacking now dumbass. I didn’t come here to do it all for you.” He says with a small smile and god what the hell is going on right now? Your cheeks suddenly feel hot and you don’t need to touch them or look in a mirror to know that you’re blushing. Hurriedly, you scramble for your thrown paintbrush, reaching down to the pastel blue liquid that almost looks white and begin to paint. 
The radio plays softly in the background, the only source of noise in the store, and you find yourself bopping your head with the music as you work. Suddenly, when your favourite song comes on, you make a mad scramble to the machine and turn it up loudly, ignoring Katsuki’s protests. Dancing as you walk back to the wall, he’s glaring at you but there's no anger in it. Somehow over the past few days, you’ve managed to finally crack the code that is Katsuki Bakugou, and understand the many meanings of his scowls, glares and unfriendly remarks. And now, as you’re singing along to the song and shuffling towards him with a dorkish grin, he’s one hundred percent amused at your antics. Katsuki doesn’t dance along, or even bop his head, but you can see him mouthing the words ever so slightly, and that's enough. As the last chorus hits, you scream the words out loud, which earns a loud bark of laughter from Katsuki. Mid verse, the climax of your performance, you stop to watch it happen. You know you’ve said things he’s found funny before, because his mouth shifts upwards ever so slightly, followed by him calling you an idiot and turning away. But seeing him laugh, a proper laugh that starts in the belly and spreads happiness through every pore of your body and into those around you, it was so attractive to you. The soft smile he sent you after too was one of the most beautiful things you’d ever seen. For a man normally so harsh and with sharp as fuck features, the gentle look he gave you made your stomach somersault. 
The song was forgotten as you forced yourself to keep on painting until you finally finished. Looking at the clock behind the counter, you smother a yawn as you read the time. 11:16pm. 
Finally, it was all coming together. With only the radio making noise, you and Katsuki tidy up your tools once more and you walk him to the door. He raises an eyebrow as you lean up against the glass door. 
“I moved back upstairs today, so no more couch surfing for me.” You answer his silent question.
“That’s good, I was sick of having to walk you all the way back to your friends place.” Katsuki replies, stuffing his hands into his pockets. He was smart enough to bring a change of clothes with him tonight to change into once he’d dropped blue paint onto his costume and realised that it wasn’t the wisest idea to wear it. So now, he was back in his casual black getup, in the sweater that a part of you so wanted to steal.
“Hey, no one ever asked you to do that, thank you very much.” Scoffing at your words, Katsuki shifts his weight from one leg to another. 
“You’d have never made it there without me.” 
“Whatever makes you sleep at night Mr Pro Hero.” Standing in silence, you suddenly can’t bring yourself to look at him and instead look back inside the store. “Hopefully I’ll have this place open again in a few days,” You say out of nowhere, simply feeling the need to break the silence. 
“That’s good. I might have to come around and actually buy something.” Snapping your head back towards him, you flush from head to toe. Is he flirting with me? You asked yourself...surely not… Why would someone like him flirt with someone like me? But you can’t help but hope that he is.
“If you come around here for any other reason other than to buy something, I swear to god Katsuki.”
“Any other reason?” He challenges, taking a step closer. Your back is pressing into the glass door behind you as your eyes lock onto his scarlet ones. “What if I have a perfectly valid reason?” 
“Does it include breaking things?” You breathe, his face so close now that you can feel his exhale fan across your mouth. Oh my god.
“Not breaking, just stealing something.” He’s whispering, as if speaking too loudly would scare you away like a timid animal. Your heart is about to burst from your chest with anticipation. He’s going to kiss me, he's sooo going to kiss me. And you so want him to.
“You’re going to steal some plants Katsu? That's a bit lame. I thought you were some big shot.” His eyes flicker to life with something you can’t quite place. Teasingly, he looks down at your lips and you swear to god. 
“Hey,” he drawls, “don’t go judging me now y/n.” his hand comes up to your face and brushes a strand of your hair away from your eyes. “Do you give everyone else shit like this after they’ve done you a favour, sweetheart?” 
“Katsuki.” You all but groan, letting logic fly out the door and gripping the front of his sweater. “If you don’t kiss me right this second, I swear-” He doesn’t even let you finish the sentence before he’s cradling your jaw in his hands and crashing your lips together. The two of you collide with such force it knocks the air right from your lungs. Katsuki completely dominates the kiss, which has shocks running down your spine and into the tips of your toes every second it continues. He possesses your very being and you can’t do anything but hold onto him and return it with everything you have in you. Reluctantly, Katsuki pulls away from you, but continues to hold your face captive within his grasp. 
“I-uh…” your brain is no longer functioning and sits with the same potential of goo inside your skull. Smirking at your response, pride swirls inside Katsuki’s eyes.
“Got nothing to say now dumbass?” He jokes, releasing a cheek to brush hair out of your eyes again. You’re pretty sure there's paint in it.
“Are you going to kiss me again?” You manage to ask, deciding that you never want to do anything other than kiss him every day for the rest of your life. This time, Katsuki doesn’t laugh at you, or even smirk. His smug grin morphs into something so soft and rare that you doubt many have ever seen this look on him, and even fewer ever will.
“Only if you agree to go out with me.” Katsuki states. Of course he wouldn’t ask like a regular person. He’s Katsuki fucking Bakugou, pro hero and future number one if he gets his way. He doesn’t have time to beat around the bush.
“It’s almost midnight Katsu.” You point out, which makes him laugh.
“I didn’t mean right now dumbass.”
“Oh.” You feel yourself blush bright bright red, mortified you try to pull your head out of his hands purely out of embarrassment. But Katsuki quickly moves his hands from your face until he’s pulled you tightly against him, your chest flush against his torso, your head craned up to look at him. 
“You’re lucky you’re cute.” he utter’s before leaning in and kissing you again, this time softly and chastely, so different from the desperate kiss earlier. Suddenly, you’re so glad he exploded into your lift and ruined your shop that day. “You’re getting dinner with me tomorrow night.” He mumbles against your lips.
“Do I have a choice?” You ask, your fingers weaving through the soft hair at the nape of his neck. You feel him smile a feral grin against your lips and try to hold in a smile of your own.
“No.”
“Good, wouldn’t want it any other way Katsu.”

You know what I want. I want some dom!Joe and switch!Ben. Doesn’t have to be smutty, but like.. the dynamic makes my heart flutter.
Haha, well since I ship Hardzello only on a platonic level, we’ll look at it through that lens. I’ll be honest I don’t normally write hardzello things so I apologise if this is literally rubbish. 
Honestly this Dom/Sub thing they’ve had going on is the whole ground upon which their relationship is built upon. It’s so very loving but very chaotic at the same time (because lets face it Joe is essentially a Chaotic Neutral). Since Joe is eight years older than Ben he tends to take the lead on everything while Ben follows behind like a little lost puppy. This stems from deciding where to get takeaway from to poking fun at the blonde on Instagram. Joe is always forcing Ben to take candid or plaindid photos of the two of them, usually in suggestive poses or situations. For instance (for a real example) when Ben does a run a 5k and donate £5 and he runs 5 miles instead
@ joemazzello : you just love to make things harder on yourself don't you? It was supposed to be 5k not 5 miles! Way to upstage the rest of us
Joe never misses an opportunity to put the younger actor on the spot and make him blush in either gratitude or even sometime embarrassment. Like the first time he walked on the set for BoRhap dressed as Roger, you know Joe as John was wolf whistling for the younger actor, asking him to take him right then and there while literally throwing himself at him. 
Its a rare moment when Ben is able to turn the tables on the older actor, but when he does, you bet his moments are golden. This often transpires in the occasional quip or gesture for the first few times, but as Ben grows more comfortable around Joe, and as their relationship deepens (and he rather realises that he likes making Joe appear flustered for once) you bet this blonde bastard is going out of his way make Joe as embarrassed as humanly possible without publicly degrading him. This can be something as trivial as tying his shoelaces to the chair that he’s sitting on to turning on the full on sex charm whispering a sweet nothing into Joe’s ear while they’re in the process of taking a stupid photo or video to commemorate something stupid going on. You bet when Ben puts ‘the moves’ on Joe, he takes it as far as he can and will not backdown until Joe does...which isn’t very easily. Joe’s stubborn and he’s not going to let some kid get the better of him. 
Rest assured everything is always in good spirit and if one of them goes too far, there is profuse apologises, sometimes getting as cliche as to get flowers or chocolate for one another...which with Joe will usually end as an instagram video of himself whining about how ‘Ben broke his heart’ and thinks he can ‘win him over with chocolates’ and how it ‘won’t work’ but the next video would be him stuffing his face while sitting next to Ben Cardy. Its pure fluff all the time

Ilvermorny was similar and simultaneously much different from the school currently in front of you. Not to say Ilvermorny wasn’t beautiful but it was at the top of a mountain, charms hid it from No-Maj’s which made it almost constantly cloudy and gloomy outside. You loved Ilvermorny though, you loved your friends and you had spent years there.
You got to Hogwarts with the assistance of the large groundskeeper who was waiting for you at the train stop when you arrived. He introduced himself as Hagrid and although his size made him appear daunting at first he was actually quite the cheery type, he was nice and you were glad you didnt have someone else waiting for you after the week you've had, cheery was much needed and very welcomed.
When the school came into view you almost gasped at the castle, the weird name it held didn't show in the architecture of the building at all, it wasn’t found in the trees of the large forest, the bright green of the grass or the light reflecting of the dark lake water.
“Okay Y/N, see that hut just down the hill there? Thats me, if ya ever need anything you should find me there.”
“Wait what, that’s it? I don't know where i'm going, how to get to my classes or my room or anything!” You flailed your arms as you spoke, your body filling to the brim with even more stress.
“Well, Mcgonagall gave ya that paper there that explains a bit, I have to go uh, assist Dumbledore with sumthin.”
“But i'm going to get lost.” You complained sounding defeated already and you hadn't even entered the large school.
The first student you had seen on these grounds was walking past you, he appeared as if his head was in the clouds with the far off look on his face, but the furrow in his brows let on that he was deep in thought as he walked away from what looked like a greenhouse.
“Neville!” Hagrid yelled and motioned the boy over, shocking him out of his thoughts as he stopped walking, directing his confused expression towards Hagrid. “Can you give Y/N here a tour of the school for me? Help her find her way an such?” He asked pushing you towards the boy as he started walking away before Neville even agreed, “Thanks.” Hagrid waved now half way down the hill as you both watched him leave, the two of you standing there in silence.
You turned towards him, suddenly feeling like a complete burden to this boy who was just... covered in dirt? His hands were barely visible underneath it, you looked away from his hands and focused  on his face which also had bit of dirt on it, like this Neville boy had dirt for freckles, in fact there wasn't a part of him that was clean of it, he was probably too busy to show you around.
“I'm sorry, you don't have to show me around, I don't want to be a burden or anything i'm sure I can find my way around easily, it’s not like it’s a moving castle or something.”
“No, it’s okay. I'm not the best person to uh, give you a tour,” He awkwardly scratched his chin leaving a print of dirt behind, “But I can try. Oh and the stairs do move so it’s best I do help you find your way, though we might get lost together, I've still never remembered where those stupid stairs change to, Hermione has them memorized, actually I think most students do.” His words trailed off from his nervous rambling and he looked down at his hands and frowned.
“You’ve got a bit of dirt.” You said looking at his hands as well now.
“I was just in the greenhouse, I forgot to wash off my hands again.” He admitted and moved his hands to wipe them on the sides of his pants but you stopped him grabbing his less dirty wrists. “Wait, don't just wipe the dirt on your pants.” He gave you a confused look, ”but my pants and all of me actually are already covered in dirt. Oh you probably want someone a bit cleaner to show you around, you don't want the first person you’re seen with to be covered in dirt.”
You chuckled a bit at his statement. “I really don't mind the dirt, but there's a spell for that!” You smiled and took out your wand quietly murmuring a spell removing every last spec of dirt from him in seconds.
“Wow, you have to teach me that one.” He sounded so excited as he looked down at his shoes which appeared almost brand new.
“Well what will you teach me in return?”
“I’m not the best teacher really.”
“What were you doing in the greenhouse that you managed to get covered in dirt from head to toe?” You teasingly asked and he smiled thinking about his plants and the hours he had spent caring for them.
“The plants, I mean Herbology. It’s my best subject.” He said proudly, you had never heard someone sound so proud talking about herbology. “Wonderful, I love that class but i'm rubbish at it, always mess it up, never fails.”
“That's perfect! Well not for you, I just mean I can help you with that.” He said smiling as he tucked his clean hands into his pockets after motioning for you to follow him as he walked towards the large castle.
The tall ceilings and lively paintings really made this place one in its own. You could easily say you'd never seen any place like it.
“Have you eaten yet?” Neville asked directing your attention away from some friendly paintings who waved as you walked past.
“They didn't have any food on the train, since it doesn't ever run at this time of year so i’m starving.”
“Well it’s not quite dinner time yet but i'm sure we can manage to get something from the house elves.” He smiled as he walked over to the small kitchen doors, sized for house elves rightfully.
“Hey Hannah!” Neville called to a girl walking past wearing a bright Yellow scarf, unlike the red striped tie Neville had.
“Hey Neville, hello... I actually don't know who you are.” Her bright smile turned to a perplexed frown.
“Oh this is uh.” Neville panicked for a moment not remembering what Hagrid had said your name was.
“I'm Y/N and you?” “I'm Hannah.” She said smiling brightly again, “You must be new?”
“Yeah Neville is just showing me around, I know it’s kinda late for new students.” You shrugged your shoulders awkwardly unsure of what to do or why you were even talking to this girl, maybe she was just Neville’s friend, or maybe his girlfriend.
“Nice to meet you, Neville what did you call me over for?”
“Well, it seems stupid but I feel like you have a better chance of getting us some food from the house elves.”
“And why’s that?” She raised a brow playfully at him crossing her arms.
“Well you know, I mean everyone knows Hufflepuffs are the house elves favorites, you guys are closest to the kitchens we all know you guys sneak snacks all the time.”
“What a stereotype, why don't you be a brave Gryffindor and ask for some yourself.” She teased as she made her way to get you guys some food and in minutes returned with plate fulls.
“Here, and only because us Hufflepuffs are also the sweetest and nicest house.” She exaggerated and waved to you as she walked away.
You followed Neville into a large room that appeared to have no ceiling, or at least it was enchanted so the sky was visible, you followed him to a table decorated with a long red table cloth matching the tie that hung loosely around his neck, partially tucked into his sweater.
“I'm guessing this is the Gryffindor table?” You asked between mouthfuls.
“Yeah, Gryffindor is the house i'm in. What about you?”
“I'm not sure actually, back at Ilvermorny I was in Thunderbird but it doesn't exactly match any houses here so i'm not sure what one to pick.” ”You get to pick?”
“Yeah, I didn't want to go through the whole sorting process or make a big deal out of being new. I’d rather have the least amount of attention on me as possible.”
“Then you got lucky to get me as a tour guide, i'm good at blending in.”
“Blending in or just hiding in the greenhouse?” You asked him playfully and he erupted into laughter.
“Your already onto me, and it’s true I may spend an unusual amount of time there.”
“That’s not unusual though, I wish I was that passionate about something.” You took a deep breath and started moving your fork around your plate. It was silent for a minute, like Neville could sense you didn't know what to say next, he didn't want to poke but he also wasn’t sure what to say next to keep the conversation going. “So tell me about you, why are you here?”
“Why am I here? I’m in this room because you brought me here.” You smiled still looking down at your plate.
“Okay so you’re funny, tell me more.”
“Well, I live my with my aunt, she decided we were moving to England so she switched me from Ilvermorny to Hogwarts but she waited too long and the process took a while so I missed the first month of school.”
“You live with your aunt?”
“Yeah, my parents are dead. I'm not too sad about it I never really knew them much.”
“I get exactly how you feel! I live with my grandma.” Neville was sort of excited to have something in common with you, even if it was a bit morbid. “My parents aren't exactly dead though, it’s complicated.”
“I understand.” You half smiled and squeezed his arm reassuringly.
“So what house do you think you’re going to pick?” Neville asked changing the subject to a less sorrow one.
“I'm not sure yet, I'm leaning towards Gryffindor for, well you reasons, but you will have to convince me a bit more.”
“Gryffindor is the best house so that won’t be hard.” Neville said excitedly as he got up and bumped into someone behind him.
“Gryffindor is hardly the best house, have you gone mad as your parents Longbottom?” You saw a blonde haired boy and a few others standing behind Neville wearing bright green ties pressed neatly into their bright white collared shirts.
Neville stayed silent and bowed his head so you decided to humour the rude group of students to direct the attention off of him.
“Well what would you suggest the best house is then?”
The boy grimaced at you as he sneered, “Slytherin of course what kind of question is that, you must be hanging out with Neville for a reason, you are both idiots.”
“How was I supposed to know? I don't even know what the fourth house is yet, unless you guys have more than four or only three?” You directed your question at Neville and he shook his head to say no not really wanting to talk and have Draco make him look like even more of a fool in front of you.
“You don't know the houses names, Are you stupid?” A girl with short black hair asked in a mocking tone.
“Not stupid, just new. I've only been here for about 25 minutes to be exact.”
Their judgmental faces softened, their looks of hatred shifted to them looking at you as if you were their prey, and you had zero defenses. Maybe in their minds you could be recruited, made into one of them or maybe they simply didn't like Neville and just wanted to steal you away from him and far away from the trio they loathed.
“New you say? I’m Draco Malfoy.” He spoke as if his name held importance, and it probably did but you barely even knew the name of the street your new house was on there was no way you knew anything about the people here.
He sat down and so did the rest of his friends, Neville was still standing with his head hung low trying to remove himself from the situation that wasn't going away.
“I'm Y/N Y/L/N.” You said politely as you looked up at Neville about to ask him if he wanted to leave but you were interrupted.
“Don't worry about Longbottom, terrible you got stuck with him on your first day, if you’d like we can take you from him? Have you been put in a house yet?”
“Oh no, it’s okay really I enjoy Nevilles company, he seem sweet where as you lot seem quite vile actually. And no I haven’t been put in a house yet but thank you for making it clear of some of the types of students that are in Slytherin, it makes the choice for me much easier really.”
“Your ruining your reputation already, choosing him as your first friend and then choosing to not be in Slytherin? If you want to make all the wrong choices go ahead, we tried to help you Y/L/N it’s not our fault you’re too stupid to see that.” Draco said in a huff and quickly left before you could even reply to his rude words.
You stood up flattening your skirt and looked at Neville giving him a reassuring smile. “So not Slytherin then. What else is there.”
“Just Gryffindor.” He said with a smile as the two of you walked out and down a hallway.
“Oh I'm so sure that's my only option. The Hufflepuff girl was nice, what's the other house”
“Ravenclaw. But you don't need to know anything about those houses because i'm going to convince you to pick Gryffindor, come here.” He grabbed your hand and pulled you behind a painting that another student had just opened and into a room decorated in the same red and gold on Nevilles tie, his tie that wasn't neatly pressed over a crisp white shirt, and you liked it that way.
“What’s this room?” You asked looking around and realizing he was still holding your wrist but not acknowledging it.
“This is the Gryffindor common room, and it could be your common room too of you choose it.”
“Well, I have proof that you are a nice Gryffindor but how do I know everyone else is just as nice as you?”
“I guess I will have to introduce you.” He said blushing at both the compliment and at the realization he was still holding your wrist, he let go of it and you tried not to smile at his befuddled expression, like a lost puppy in his own common room not sure who to introduce you to first.
“Who do you want to meet? Well I guess it’s always exciting to meet Harry.”
“Harry?” You asked unsure of who he meant.
“Yeah, like Harry Potter, he is in Gryffindor, he’s like famous and stuff.”
“I've never heard of him, he’s not as famous at Ilvermorny I guess.” You shrugged not caring much about some kid who was probably just a Quidditch player or something.
Neville looked shocked as he turned to see where Harry was and called him over, “Harry! Come here!” He waved enthusiastically and you sort of froze in place not prepared to meet some celebrity and be a complete fool not knowing who he was.
“Harry this is Y/N she’s new, i'm showing her around.”
“And trying to persuade me that I should choose Gryffindor.” You added and Neville smiled sheepishly, feeling half guilty that he only wanted you in Gryffindor so he could spend more time with you and would have a higher chance of seeing you more, even though you had already agreed to study Herbology together.
“Hi, I’m Harry, this is Ron and Hermione.” He said pointing to his two friends who had walked up behind him, clearly intrigued by someone new.
“Yeah, this is Harry. She has no idea who you are Harry, no clue at all isn’t that new?”
Harry smiled widely and Hermione rolled her eyes from behind him. “That's refreshing for once, having a sort of clean slate with someone.”
“Yeah so when she ultimately chooses to be in Gryffindor it won't be because it’s  the House harry potter is in.” Neville joked and only Ron laughed in response.
“You get to pick what house you’re in!” A girl who looked a bit younger with long red hair asked as she walked up, almost like she had been listening the whole time.
“Yeah.” You smiled feeling awkward that so many people's attention was on you, even if it was much better attention than you received from the Slytherins earlier.
“Our room has an empty bed, so if you choose Gryffindor you could room with us.” Hermione said as she smiled at you, an endearing smile with wide eyes only filtered by a look of annoyance ot the two boys beside her, “ I could help you catch up on the missed work to.”
She seemed nice and that was an offer you couldn't turn down but before you could agree Neville leaned towards you and spoke. “I’d take that offer if I were you, Hermione's really smart and nice and stuff.” You smiled and looked up at him, you were completely ready to agree to be in Gryffindor but again before you could agree someone else spoke up. “Our Quidditch team is the best too! Do you play Quidditch?” A boy shouted and you quickly answered. “No.” before you were bombarded with a couple more questions all at once from varying new students surrounding you. “Where did you come from.” “Why are you a month late?” “What's your name?” “Gryffindor’s are the bravest are you brave?” And before you could answer them Neville spoke up loudly over everyone. “Okay, guys not all at once.” Which made everyone look a bit startled, which was weird, he hasn't said anything rude or mean but maybe he wasn't one to be loud often, he seemed quiet from what you had seen of him today.
“I guess I’ll be in Gryffindor.” You smiled a blush rising to your cheeks as the students around you cheered, congratulated you and started all talking at once again before you grabbed Neville’s hand and whispered to him to take you out of there, he grabbed your hand back, his palms clammy from the nerves of it all and brought you into the hallway where it was quiet.
“You don't have to choose Gryffindor, are you sure?”
“I was going to choose it anyways just because of you, but now i'm extra convinced.” You smiled and swore both your cheeks adorned matching bright red blushes as you awkwardly stood there just staring at each other, his thumb pressing into the side of your hand subconsciously not wanting to let go until a professor coughed from the other side of the hallway.
“Mr. Longbottom,” he quickly let go of your hand and spun around.
“Hi Professor Mcgonagall.” He spoke as if he was in trouble but the slight smile on her face said otherwise.
“And you must be Miss. Y/L/N? Hagrid told me he handed the duty of showing you around to Mr. Longbottom here, I see it’s going well.”
“Yes, it’s going great. I got the letter you wrote me, It’s nice to meet you.”
“You as well, I'm sure you will fit in quite well at Hogwarts, it shouldn't be too hard to adjust from Ilvermorny i'm sure. Have you decided on a house yet?”
“Actually I just did yes, I decided I want to be put in Gryffindor if that's alright.”
“Easily, done. I will be your head of house, if you require anything else you can come to my office or i'm sure Mr. Longbottom here is also willing to help, I feel he may have persuaded your choice a bit.”
“Maybe a bit of Neville persuading me towards gryffindor and a bit of that Malfoy boy persuading me away from Slytherin.” You said it jokingly and she tried not to chuckle at your statement.
“All houses have their qualities.” She smiled and walked away.
You both stood there for a moment watching her walk away leaving you in an empty hallway unsure of what to say next, “She’s nice.”
“Yeah don't cross her though she just as tough too. I think she’s just glad it’s me showing you around and not Harry, she’s at wits end with him right now, well I think she always is.”
“I'm glad to.” You admitted and Neville felt his heart pounding against his ribcage with every flutter of your eyelashes you looked at him like he was the most amazing person you’d ever met. You didn’t know about his parents, you didn’t know of his reputation or social class in the school. You only knew what he told you as of now, you knew about his love for Herbology, his house pride and how he was nice enough to show you around the school when he didn’t really have to. You felt yourself wanting this tour not to end and Neville found himself not wanting it to end either. By the time you had walked the entirety of the castle, even showing you places just to say not to go there. By the time you ended up back outside the common room, which was now both of your common rooms since you agreed to be in Gryffindor, it was already getting dark outside.
“It’s getting late.” He said, like he didn’t want to believe his own statement.
“Yeah.”
“You should go to bed, and get your stuff all unpacked.”
“Maybe I don't want to.” You shrugged, a devilish smile on your face.
Neville then repeated something he had heard you say a few times that day, “There’s a spell for that.” and smiled but looked down trying to hide it from you.
“So why don't we do something else?” You asked fiddling with your fingers nervously.
“But i've shown you everything there is to see.”
“You didn’t show me that greenhouse you walked out of when I first saw you earlier.”
“Oh yeah, that was today. I can show you that if you care.”
“I care.” He smiled again and started walking swiftly down the hallway only to spin back around just as swiftly and say, “It’s night now, it’s October it’s gonna be a bit cold and you’re not wearing a sweater.”
“I’ll be fine.”
“No, go get your house sweater and scarf or something, you don't want to get sick.” You didn’t need a sweater as your heart was already melting for how sickly sweet the boy in front of you was being, caring so much about your well being even though you had only known each other for that day.
“But I don't get them until the morning.”
“You can borrow one of mine?” He asked quietly as if you would say no to the idea of wearing his sweater.
“If that’s okay with you, I would like that.” Before you knew it he had run up to his room and back down with a sweater and a scarf in hand, a sweater similar but a bit different to the one he was wearing, both covered in red and gold, he was visibly out of breath from hurrying to get them so fast.
“Here,” He said quietly again, as if he was going to scare you away by speaking too loud, like you coming into his life so abruptly was such a fragile thing and you could leave at any moment, which you could really, but you wouldn't.
You tilted your head forward and he slid the collar over your head, you pulled your arms through and giggled at how long the sleeves were so he gently grabbed your wrist pulling it close to him as he delicately rolled the sleeves up a few times. He smiled timidly at you and wrapped the scarf loosely over your shoulders as it wasn’t too cold to need to cover your face with it, not that he would want it covered anyways.
“Thank you.” You smiled and stuck out your hand towards him which he gladly intertwined with his, not meeting your eyes. “Now take me to see your plants.”
The walk to the greenhouse was quiet compared to your journey around the castle and school grounds earlier today, earlier you couldn’t stop talking but now there was a comfortable silence that surrounded the two of you as you kept your hands innocently intertwined only letting go once he opened the greenhouse door letting you in.
He cast lumos with his wand not wanting to disrupt the plants who relied on it being dark this time of day. “Wouldn't want to wake them up.” You joked and he smiled pulling you close again, maybe using lumos was also a good excuse to keep you close as he showed the different plants and things to you.
He talked about his plants, the most he had talked all day about anything, you just nodded and smiled trying to take in all the information he was saying, half because these things would definitely help you in class and half because Neville spoke like he cared so deeply for each plant and you couldn’t look away as his chapped lips spoke so passionately.
“I should be taking notes.” You interrupted after a while and he stopped talking, a bit out of breath.
“Don't worry we can actually study another time, i'm just rambling right now.”
“It’s not a bad thing, maybe I meant notes about you, I'm doing study on Neville,”
“A study on me?”
“Yeah i’ll start with writing down all your favourite things so far I have the last eight plants you talked about and I’ll include me on that list of course.” You said it jokingly but Neville averted your eyes as he started fiddling with the plant in front of you, pretending to examine the leaves.
“Sounds stupid maybe, but you probably could, I haven’t got along with someone so well in so long, I love my friends here of course but you just seem different, I know i've only known you a day but it feels like it’s been forever.”
“No Neville I feel the same way, it’s weird I usually take so long to connect with people and like open up. I'm really glad you happened to be walking out of here at that time. I can’t imagine it being anyone else.” You spoke sincerely, truly happy in this moment. Out after curfew on your first day in a dark greenhouse surrounded by plants and spiders no doubt, but Neville was there and he made it all so worth it. You’d stay out all night if he asked you but you assumed he wasn’t one to usually stay out after curfew, you actually weren’t sure if he knew it was past curfew, so caught up in the moment.
“Do you usually break school rules and stay out here after curfew for your plants?”
“After curfew?” He looked up realizing just how dark it was outside.”
“It’s okay, we should head back though.” You rubbed your thumb over his hand to calm him down as you slightly pulled him towards the door, he followed easily but with a slight frown on his face.
“Why so sad?” You poked his side as you quietly walked back to the common room.
“I just don't want to get you in trouble on the first day.”
“It would be worth it.”
You entered the common room without getting caught and stood at the bottom of your stairs, the common room empty aside from the two of you and the charmed fire that was slowly dwindling out.
“So do you want to study again tomorrow. In the greenhouse, with me?” He asked awkwardly as if you hadn't just willingly spent an entire day together.
“Of course yeah.” You smiled so wide your cheeks almost hurt as you looked up at the boy in front of you with messy hair and a bit of a crooked smile but just as wide as yours.
“Y/N! Are you coming to bed it’s past curfew!” Hermione whisper shouted from the top of the stairs completely oblivious to the moment she had walked in on.
She startled you, jumping slightly as you turned to face her, walking up a few stairs quickly. “Yeah i'm coming sorry, we got lost.” You lied.
You turned back to Nevile and waved, “Goodnight.”
“Goodnight,” he repeated back not wanting to say more since Hermione was still waiting for you.
You reached the top of the stairs when you realized you were still wearing one of his sweaters and his scarf, “Wait Neville, your stuff.”
“You can give it back in the morning.” He said now aware that Hermione knew you were wearing his clothes, which was unusual so he rushed back to his own room not wanting to be questioned by Hermione about it. There was no escape as Ron and Harry were quick to question him on why he was out so late and seemed so giddy for some reason when he got to his room.

2019 - Health & Fitness Tracking
I have always been relatively slim but as time gets on I have found that if I’m not careful I can put weight on a lot easier than in my younger years, especially as I am only 5′ 1″ so feel like the slightest weight shows on me. About two and a half years ago I hit my maximum ever weight off 9st 7lbs. I decided to try the 5:2 diet and it worked really well for me, in 3 months I  got down to a consistent weight of 8st 8lbs-8st 11lbs.  
I have since carried on with the 5:2 on and off however, I have never reached my idea weight of 8st 6lbs, I think that the less you have to lose the harder it is. One of the downsides for me with 5:2 is that it is difficult for me to exercise effectively and other than getting to my idea weight I really want to tone up my body. So I have basically faffed about for the passed 6-8 months trying this and that, before Christmas I had a good exercise routine going and kept a consistent weight of 8st 11-13lbs not my ideal but ok.
I am a creature of habit probably a bit OCD as I work well with structure and routine, so Christmas, Holidays and cancelled classes can completely throw me. I also run and had this thing in my head that if I didn’t complete 5k without walking and in the time I was aiming that I’d failed; that was until I read a book called Run Bitch Run lol! I have now changed my mindset and just tell myself done anything is better than doing nothing, it has made me listen to my body more and it I’m not feeling it I will do 3k rather than 5k and up the weights and yoga.
I have decided to start a fresh regime and started this today, after belng rubbish for the last 2 weeks and having my yoga class cancelled for the last 3 weeks my current weight is now 9st 3lbs!! and I can really feel it.
I have decided for the next 6 weeks not to follow any diet but to just eat a health balanced diet, cut down on alcohol, watch my calorie intake and to exercise 4 times per week. My husband (on request) bought me a fitbit charge 3 for Christmas which I have been wearing for the past week to just get myself used to how it works and how it can help me. So far so good I absolutely love it! I am sure it will keep me more focused and help me achieve where I want to be. 
So why the blog, not expecting any followers etc. its just a mind dump for me to express frustrations, confusion and to track my progress. 
So Day 1....
Breakfast - Porridge with almond milk, switched from skimmed and saved 50 calls
Lunch - Roast Chicken, Sprouts, Carrots and Peas, Melon
Energy Snack - Banana @ 4:30pm
Dinner - Steamed Salmon Fillet, Kale & Spring Onion, Tenderstem Brocolli, Runner Beans and Peas / Grapes 
Total Calorie intake 900 cals
Exercise - 5k @ 43mins Speed Training on Treadmill / 20-30 min Weights / 10 mins Hola Hooping
Calorie intake is probably a little too low as my TDEE is 1200 but don’t feel hungry and feel better for even starting this!
Onward and upward.... I am going to measure myself tomorrow after work so see if I can see a difference in the next 6 weeks.....to tomorrow!!!

DELIGHTFUL FIC
January:
Just the One, Two by Panny | Jessica Jones | Jessica/Trish | 10k They say you should never meet your heroes, but what about when you've been sort of in love with them since they broke your mother's marble sink? 
Daylight by @notbecauseofvictories | Star Wars | Rey/Luke | 3k “Can I ask what you think it is you’re doing?” Luke says. His voice is only a little strangled. The silence that falls in its place is awkward, thick as sand. “Oh,” Rey stutters out. “Is that not—?” “No,” Luke grits out. “Please put your clothes back on.”
run all the lights by @fahye | Captive Prince | Damen/Laurent | 8.5k He’s a slim, too-pretty boy of twenty, and the men of this particular underworld talk about him as though he’s an open flame, a sparking engine near a pool of gasoline: volatile, and not to be handled. Kid’s got balls of sheer fucking steel, Damen’s contact said. Which must be true, because having just lost a race against Damen for pink slips, Laurent looks him straight in the eye and says, “Double or nothing?” in a voice like vodka poured straight from the freezer.
They Say It's Mighty Fine by apocryphal | Teen Wolf | Sterek | 23k "Hello. This is Alpha Vernon Boyd, calling from Camp Remus about—""Derek?" Talia asks, confused. "You're calling about Derek? Is he okay? What happened?""Oh, boy." Melissa blows out a breath. "All right. Is he hurt?""He's been there for two hours, what could he possibly have—" John pauses. "Hang on, Camp Remus? Like the werewolf camp?"
León de mi Corazón by clockheartedcrocodile | The Exorcist | Tomas/Marcus | 16k | Not for the first time, Marcus wishes he were a poet. Tomas drinks up beautiful words like wine, practically thrives on them. He thinks of his own clumsy attempt at a letter, begun and re-begun until the whole thing had been consigned to the rubbish bin. It was laughable.Besides, he thinks, Tomas and Jessica wrote letters because they could not have each other.“You have me,” he says, quiet enough that Tomas won’t wake.
Things Worth Knowing by Femme (femmequixotic) | HP | Drarry | 163k After the Battle, Harry thinks he's left Hogwarts for good, but Minerva insists that all students return for an Eighth Year if they wish to sit for NEWTs in the spring, and Harry needs those NEWTs to go into the Aurors. Draco's just grateful not to be in Azkaban. Or the Manor. He's hoping he can steer clear of Potter this year and grapple with his own problems.
Under the Covers by ToAStranger | Stranger Things | Steve/Billy | 72k Steve is (maybe) a little bit still in love with Nancy Wheeler and (maybe) trying to figure himself out-- between the night terrors and the babysitting and the general weirdness that is Hawkins, Indiana-- before he graduates.Billy Hargrove fits in there somewhere (probably).
the party never ends by brawlite | Stranger Things | Steve/Billy | 7k Billy wants a fight from Steve Harrington. He'll do just about anything to get it, too.
February

7 Nights
Tumblr media
You need to make a nice song I can listen to at night time.
Not this grime rap shouting stuff.
3.38
Pm
Tel aviv hahagana
 It was Krepts birthday yesterday. Fact. I saw it on Instagram. They went to a hotel in manchester. 100-strong squad.
Well nice to start with a detour.
Just shows eh.
Addhdhdhdhdhdhdhdddd
Distraction procrastination whatever it is.
Well to be fair, I usually write nice a focus relatively so what the u know.
But now im avoiding. Which has been the theme of the last few weeks.
 So where are we at. Whats going on in this fuckedupheadof mine
With 2 days till the mrs’s birthday and 4 till dad turns up once again.
?
 It appears the painful anxiety has gone gone gone. One minute I couldn’t take it. Next minute I had a sympathetic manager who agrees I need some clarity and structure and says I should use jira.
And bingo.
 Now u mightthink ive not written for a while but I actually wrote on paper. Im gonna photograph them paper and post them on tumbling just to keep things in one place.
 But anyway
Whats on my mind.
Im gonna list it.
The problem is typing is such a natural relaxant for me I prefer to just type whatevers coming out.
But when I write with a pencil im more specific.
Then again, why is one better than the other.
Nobody knows whats right. Whats gonna help.
 So
List
In no particular order – I keep on thinking I need to put it in order of importance and I cant work out whats the most important!
 1.       Therapy seems to have come to an abrupt end. I mean I wanted to but im disappointed cos I feel like she got upset and I tried to be polite – all I did was say I didn’t feel like there was a plan, a structure and she got upset.
So now ive got to find someone else I guess.
So maybe I find someone on Maccabi.
But it feels like rejection. I didn’t mean to be unfocused. I didn’t mean to come across like im anti. I wasn’t.
I guess its just time. At least the anxietys gone even though its kind of been replaced with depression.
 2.       Im confused. Whats going on with my head. What is actually wrong with me. Theres got to be something – im undoubtedly emotionally unstable. I run from fine to fucked up in seconds.
But what is it. Cos if I don’t know what it is then how can we find the solution?
Childhood? Untreated add fuckoing d?
Mother?
Self esteem?
Did T have it all so sorted?
What do I need?
Adddddddddd therapist? Drugs? Whats the matter with me and whats the answer? I neeed a path.
 3.       Planning the birthday. Get a present. Book the waffle. Go with the girls to the kanyon. Yes.
 4.       Littlun pottty training isn’t a success.
I wanna give up
Mrs doesn’t
Blames me for getting annoyed.
Fuck this shit.
 5.       And all this before work work work? New job?
I mean its ok but its not comfortable.
So I wait n see what happens after ice and just get on with it.
 The heads rushing
 6.       Tried to run Friday. Fell over so stopped but felt rubbish
I guess the anxiety was powering my running although today I did 5k and a lot of it on 11.2 2.5 incline
  7.       Am I being lazy not taking a hold of myself?
I think so but I get stuck.
 8.       Im being a burden to the mrs.
I wish I wasn’t but I am.
I get upset with the girls
I smacked littlujn for pooing yesterday
 9.       I want a watch
But do I want the casino for 250
Or ask dad to bring me
Or apple watch plus airpods
Can I afford
 10.   Money money bills
Ts idea – just do it.
Focus on the solutions not the problem
Easy said. Hard done.
Easier to go to bed.
 Do I feel better?
No.
Gonna read that shit book
Whatever. U do ur best.
  Gonna do this tonight:
-          Think about therapy options – stay or go!
-          Book the waffle bar
-          Think about what to do when dads here – go away? Invite people for lunch?
-           
PS Morning update. i didnt do any of that stuff.
kids were asleep by 7.45. got uncomfortable. tried to watch man city v arsenal. tried to watch more tv. tried to get meaty washing up done by the time wife came home. she came home while i was doing it. finished it. went to bed while she did a fuck load of other things -washing the covers for the seats and stuff - all cos my dads coming. my dad. not hers. 
fucking shit. 
woke up at 4am. told her i love her but i hate me cos i all i am is a problem. she said im not for the litteun. or for her (implying i am for the littlerun). i said i am. tried to do meditating. didnt sleep. got up to give litterlun tete. got the kids up went to work. same shit. 
can i get out of the funk funk. is a new job the answer? potentially.
being sociable. MadinAmerica? fuck it all.
got to write some copy.

A Different Kind of Magic (1/1)
Tumblr media
Summary: In hindsight, she probably shouldn’t have thought that his disability would be a limiting factor for anything. For a man with one hand, some of the things he could do with that single hand were downright magic. Plus the bastard clearly loved a challenge, so of course Captain Hook didn’t let things like limits or conventional wisdom determine who he was, what he could do or how he could love. 
Rating: Explicit
Word Count: ~5000
Also on: ao3 | ff.net
Author’s Note: So this one shot was inspired by this post here and this post here. This started out as a drabble based on Killian Jones shuffling cards and somehow transformed into a 5K ramble about Emma’s obsession with Killian’s fingers and hand. The story goes up to season 4 during the 6 weeks of peace in Storybrooke. Lots of pining and lust, love and smut (and maybe a little dash of angst.) I hope this isn’t utter rubbish.
tagging (in no particular order) some friends, folks who directly asked to be tagged & a few of those who liked the posts that inspired this (if you want to be tagged/untagged just ask): @bleebug, @enchanted-captain-swan, @deathbycaptainswan, @stardusted-nymph, @enthymeme, @leatherjacketsandrum, @couldnthandleit, @queenswan20, @kmomof4, @redstar96, @galadriel26, @lenfaz, @queen-mabs-revenge, @thesschesthair, @profoundlyfadedprincess, @gingerchangeling, @jimhalpertcanbuymelove, @onceuponaswans, @yeahiliketheredleatherjacket, @owlways-and-forever, @snowbellewells, @teamhook, @bethacaciakay, @nfbagelperson, @pirateherokillian, @spartanguard, @optomisticgirl, @shady-swan-jones, @amagicalship, @sunshine-and-the-catsuit, @keepcalmandshipcaptainswan, @bromfieldhall, @kdanna03, @captainswanluver
Emma had history of underestimating Killian Jones. She knew he was smart, even when he trended towards smart-ass, but in hindsight, she probably shouldn’t have thought that his disability would be a limiting factor for anything. For a man with one hand, some of the things he could do with that single hand were downright magic. Plus the bastard clearly loved a challenge, so of course Captain Hook didn’t let things like limits or conventional wisdom determine who he was, what he could do or how he could love.
The first time she underestimated him, they were climbing a beanstalk, which was for difficult enough for her and she had a ton of upper body strength. She expected it would difficult for Hook to climb the beanstalk but he gave no impression that this was anything out of the ordinary, in fact he was ahead of her most of the way. Maybe it was like climbing the rigging on his pirate ship? Several times during the climb, she found herself checking out his strong form, and his dexterous fingers that, every so often would take hold of two vines at a time with a firm hold using his divided digits.
She wasn’t lying when she said she wouldn’t take her eyes off of him, he was very easy on the eyes. He was the type of guy, if she met him in a bar, she would’ve taken him home for a night. However this wasn’t her world and unfortunately when he opened his mouth to speak, he managed to find and press every button she had just to see how she’d react. Again at the top of the beanstalk when he held her hand in his, she thought she might have trembled at the touch and then he used his mouth to tie the cloth over her wound. So many inappropriate thoughts filled her head when she gazed upon the pirate in that moment. Something about him made her want to let her guard down and invite him in, but he was a villain, a villain who would cross her at the first chance. So better she did it first and then fell back on her tried and true method of dealing uncomfortable situations: to run. Run from the handsome, cocky pirate before she did something stupid, something like allowing his rough hand to explore her body and see if his strength could be useful to her in other fun activities. When she fought him a few days later and he used his sword and hook across hers in a move that was purely sexual, a part of her mind screamed to let him make good on his naughty innuendo but she knocked him out instead. She could not shake the feeling he had let her do so either.
Weeks later came the day he caught her unawares, and maybe a little angry, figuring out how to free himself from her handcuffs in the hospital, meandering into the waiting room and attempting to flirt with Ruby when the sly motherfucker had just teased her about her own interest in other attachments aside from his hook. She had smiled and taunted him about Gold being unfazed by the pirate’s half-assed effort to hurt the immortal sorcerer via Belle. She figured taunting him would rile him up, and so she left him to contemplate his failure, though she wasn’t really expecting he’d be able to escape if she cuffed his right hand to the bed. He ended up leaving Emma curious as to how the hell he managed it. Afterward she may or may not have imagined him using his mouth, his tongue curling around a bobby pin, to pick the lock on the handcuffs. Definitely not.
On the journey to Neverland she was impressed with how well he could manage the Jolly Roger by himself, tying lines and working the tasks of many sailors all at once with very few modifications to assist in his endeavors. Centuries of calling the ship home meant he probably knew the ship better than he knew himself. That didn’t stop Emma from feeling an irrational bolt of jealousy as she watched the Captain lovingly run his fingers over marred wood in many places on the ship after the storm called by the mermaid receded, tracing damage wrought as though he was gently treating a wound, all the while softly whispering words in a language she didn’t understand. She wondered briefly how his long fingers would feel against her neck or breasts as he caressed - ugh, fuck, it had been a long damn time since she had gotten laid and she knew she had to be really fucking desperate if she was jealous of the relationship a villainous pirate had with his centuries old, magical fucking pirate ship.
Stuck in Neverland, she was forced to spend more time around him then she ever had before and started take notice of just how he well adapted he was. He used his hook just as easily as his hand, sometimes even favoring his hook over his hand even for eating. Sometimes, when he wasn’t looking, she found herself watching him, dismissing it as her curiosity to understand how someone made the most of an awful loss - nothing more! Settling into camp and dividing the coconuts they gathered, Emma couldn’t help but watch in awe as he sat down next to her and rolled one coconut back and forth in the palm of his hand, his fingers feeling for imperfections on the fruit before tossing it into the air, followed by another, juggling the large coconuts with an ease that suggested a lot practice had driven such results.
Her father’s glares at the pirate caused him to cease but Hook kept his seat next to her, using his namesake to pierce the coconut so she would be able to consume its contents before he offered it over to her. His fingers brushed against hers and sent shivers through her body; contact with him was too much and not enough at the same time. Emma forcibly shifted her focus back to saving her son and away from the hot, literally hot, pirate whose body was inches from hers as they sat on the jungle floor.
Later, when she kissed him, it took everything she had to walk away. It took everything she had not to give in to her lust, but that was all it was, wasn’t it? Hook had known she couldn’t handle it, handle him, and Emma didn’t want to acknowledge why exactly he could get under her skin so easily and how he seemed to know her so well. Denial worked; denial and running had always worked so maybe it would work a while longer. Emma was strong enough to admit she had some regrets when their adventure concluded at the town line but regrets faded to forgotten dreams when the tendrils of Regina’s spell wove a new life for her and Henry.
A blissful year passed in New York as Emma and Henry found a new home and Emma finally opened up enough to let someone in for the first time since Neal had destroyed her heart and left her to raise Henry as a single mother fresh out of jail. Emma couldn’t clearly remember how the cracks in the walls around her heart had come about but Walsh was a decent guy and maybe he could make Emma happy. However Emma’s nights were plagued by odd, unexplained dreams; adventures to strange lands and a faceless man, the only details of him she could remember were impossibly blue eyes and dark hair, who threaded strong fingers into her hair as they were locked in a very passionate, unending kiss. When a man reminiscent of her mysterious dream guy showed up at her door one morning and kissed her, it took a moment for her protective instinct to kick in as she kneed him in the balls and shoved him away. The man wouldn’t stop following her and when his explanation came with impossible proof and less than subtle hints he might be someone she loved in the lost life he’d been raving about, her instincts surfaced once again and she boldly drank the tiny bottled potion he proffered.
The memories and emotions slammed into her with the force of a ton of bricks and she was so relieved to see someone who really knew her, that for a brief moment caution left her, and she threw herself into his arms. Killian hesitated for only another moment before his strong arms enveloped her, giving the comfort she sought. He pressed his face to her neck and breathed in her scent as he splayed his hand wide across the middle of her back, fingers dancing against her spine, and his fake hand rested much lower, a fire sparked within her that such simple touch shouldn’t be fanning.
Emma was unsure how long they stayed this way but her brain reminded her of the other morning when he had attempted True Love’s Kiss. Obviously he didn’t know it wouldn’t work as she had no memories of him but she couldn’t help the fear rising within her: he thought they could be true love! She broke their embrace and put distance between them once more. A distance that was harder to maintain once they began the journey back to Storybrooke but Emma was good at running and just because he had haunted her lust-filled dreams for so long didn’t mean she had to give in.
In the early days of fighting the Wicked Witch, she invited Killian over for a game night to help entertain her mother, in an effort to keep the very pregnant woman from trying to hunt down the witch on her own, and Henry, who had no idea Emma’s friend Killian was anything but what she had said. After one round of poker, they decided to play again since there weren’t too many games that they could play without it taking forever to explain to Killian and such explanations would have caused rampant curiosity in her twelve year old as to why Killian wasn’t familiar with them already. Thankfully Henry was more than content to chill on the couch and play with his Gameboy while the adults gambled. Emma was just a little excited to play again because she knew she had the best damn poker face of all of them and it felt nearly normal not think about the Wicked Witch for a few hours. Plus it was almost a cakewalk as they all had such easy tells: her mom’s cheeks and neck would flush if she tried to lie, her dad couldn’t look anyone straight in the eye as he bluffed, and Killian, well, Killian scratched his ear when he was hiding something or nervous.
Emma grabbed all of the discarded piles from the last game and set them down for barely second, with the intention to shuffle as she had the first round, but she noted Killian had taken the cards. He used his thumb and index finger to steady the deck while using his middle and ring fingers to slide out half the cards from the bottom of the deck to form two piles of cards, steadying the new pile against his pinky finger. Emma watched in amazement as he guided the newly created pile to the top of the original part of the deck, the cards held firm between his thumb and pinky and then flipped his hand over and neatly let the two halves merge without dropping a single card.
God, how amazing would it be if I let him use those nimble fingers on me?
Emma shook the thought from her head though she knew her mouth had to be hanging wide open because Killian caught her eye with a devilish smirk and one eyebrow raised in challenge as if he knew exactly what she was thinking. Emma couldn’t handle it. Not with everything else going on. It was too complicated and Emma Swan didn’t do complicated. She had enough “complicated” from her fucked up family tree and the various bad apples that seemed pop up just to wreak havoc in Storybrooke all the time.
“Emma?” Emma heard her name being said but she still hadn’t broken eye contact with Killian, his baby blue eyes entrancing her as though he was the one who wielded magic, not her.
“Emma?” Mary Margaret said again and Emma turned to see her mother looking back and forth between her and Killian. How had she forgotten her mother was at the table? Thank God her father was in the kitchen helping Henry make hot cocoa rather than watching the exchange at the dining table. Emma was torn between wanting to crawl under a rock and die from embarrassment and needing to drag Killian back to his room at Granny’s and have him use his fingers, tongue and, God help her, his hook to make her come harder than she ever had in her life.
Emma’s phone rang loudly disturbing their evening and sending them out into the night to once again chase after the latest lead about Neal. It would be a long time before Emma would have the luxury of thinking about anything but villians because when it rains it pours and so much seemed to have happened in such a short time. Neal dying, Zelena’s curse on Hook, Emma giving up her magic to save him and getting them dragged into the past. And finally admitting for the first time in her life she realized she wanted to stop running, that she found home and that a certain pirate had become important to her in ways that were completely foreign to her. Unfortunately deciding to stay and giving Killian a chance also happened to coincide with a new villain coming to town, because of course it could never just be that simple as deciding to explore this thing between them.
There was also the choice that Emma made, deciding that they should take things slowly, if only to keep her from messing things up between them. Emma knew she hadn’t had enough time to sort through all of her emotions and sex would just complicate everything. Knowing he loved her, there was no use in denying it, she knew sex would be something different for him and she really didn’t think it was fair of her to go down that road until she was able to acknowledge, even if only to herself, how she truly felt about Killian Jones. Gentleman that he was, he was willing to let Emma set the pace, but it didn’t stop him teasing her. Things that, to others, would seem innocent, like licking ketchup off his fingers after sharing a plate of fries with her son or drumming his fingers in various rhythms on the nearest flat surface he could find when he was bored. He’d catch her eye and smile knowingly at her but never push his luck.
When the Snow Queen was defeated, Elsa, Anna and Kristoff returned to Arendelle and Belle banished Rumplestiltskin from town, life in Storybrooke was peaceful. So Emma made a decision not to let anything hold her back any longer. One night Killian picked her up at her parents for a date but refused to tell her anything about where they were headed, smiling at her frustration. Emma wore a navy blue scoop neck, knee-length dress and a white sweater since summer was coming to an end and the evening might be chilly.
Killian held her hand, guiding her through town to one of the paths that lead to a more remote stretch of beach. As they cleared the treeline, Emma could see a red plaid blanket laid out with candles, a basket of what she assumed was food, a bottle of wine in an ice bucket and an odd shaped case.
“My lady,” Killian smiled as he released her hand and assisted her with settling down on the blanket.
“This is amazing,” Emma mumbled.
“I just thought we could enjoy a private dinner by the water. I’ve visited this beach many times before and encountered nary a soul so I thought it a fitting locale,” Killian informed her, blue eyes sparkling with a happiness that made him seem much younger than he was.
They enjoyed the food he had cooked himself using Granny’s kitchen at the diner. She never would’ve listed cooking as something Killian Jones would be good at, but he wasn’t just good, the food was delicious and she wanted him to cook for her again. After they finished eating, she tucked her body close against his as he taught her the constellations of this world and related what he had learned of them from borrowed library books.
His lesson concluded, Killian pulled away and she whined at the loss of his heat.
“Patience, Swan. I want to do something I haven’t done in a long time,” he breathed, barely loud enough for her to hear him. He went to the case and unlocked it, pulling out a beautiful violin, a bow and an attachment that looked as though it allowed him to affix the bow to his brace, permitting him to play. She stared at him, slack-jawed.
“I used to play for my mother before she died and after I lost my hand I taught myself how to play using an attachment for the bow to my left wrist so I could use my right hand to play the notes. I found this in the shop when I was with Belle the other day, the curse must have taken it off of the Jolly Roger and I wanted to play for you,” Killian confessed, nervousness written in his handsome features.
Emma nodded, “Of course, I’d be honored if you would play for me.”
It took only a few moments for Killian to remove his jacket and to situate himself before he began playing. Emma watched as his fingers moved over the strings and his left arm moved the bow to create a serene, melodic tale that almost reminded Emma of how she had felt since she had met him. The ups and downs of their journey to each other, to this point in time where she sat before him, entranced by the music, by him. Fixated on the movement of his hand, fingers and bow on the violin, she had yet to look away, knowing the emotion she’d find when she searched it out. Emma lifted her gaze to his and found he was watching her, not his playing, meaning he played from memory. Emma couldn’t help but wonder how many nights he had played this aboard the Jolly Roger when they had been separated, seemingly forever. The melody concluded and he set the violin, bow and attachments back into its case.
There were no words uttered as she placed her right hand on his brace and her left caressed his cheek, turning him to face her. She hoped he could read her as well as he once said, the words she wasn’t ready for present in her actions. If the smirk and eyebrow raised just before she pressed her lips to his were any indication, he certainly knew. His left arm pressed into her low back and his right hand cradled her head, fingers combing through her hair almost the same as in her dreams from long ago.
Emma groaned as he deepened the kiss but kept his contact to mostly respectable positions. “Killian, please,” she begged, breaking the kiss and moving his hand to her breast. Killian growled as he captured her lips again and let his hand expertly massage one breast then the other. Emma cried out as he trailed his lips from her mouth to her jaw then to the pulse point on her throat. She was so aroused, so close, and he had barely touched her yet and the thought only fueled the wildfire in her.
“Emma, are you certain?” Killian rasped against her neck, trying to hold himself in check and give her the control as he always did.
“I’ve never been more certain in my life. Please don’t stop, not for anything,” she gasped as his hand slid lower to the flat of her abdomen and lower still to the hem of her dress. She shucked her sweater and helped him pull her dress over her head, pausing to laugh at his sharp intake of air as he realized she wasn’t wearing any undergarments.
“Naughty Swan, you’ve been bare underneath that beautiful dress all this time? Full of want?” Killian grinned like a cat who ate the canary.
Emma took advantage of his distracted state to allow her fingers to make quick work of the buttons on his vest and then shirt, pushing them off onto the blanket.
Just has she reached for his belt, his hand forcibly stopped her. “Oh, no, my darling, tonight is about you. I intend to worship you like the goddess you are,” Killian groaned, pushing her back onto the blanket. He moved away for a moment to remove his brace, baring his blunted wrist to her for the first time. She tried to reach out and touch him but he grabbed both her arms and moved them above her head.
Killian’s lips came to her neck and left wet kisses down to her breasts, as he shifted so his blunted arm held her in place and his hand cupped her left breast as he brought it to his mouth and sucked gently on her nipple. Alternating between her breasts, gentle nibbling to extended suckling, his hand mapping her upper body and categorizing each and every response to his touch, Emma was panting well before his hand shifted to the thatch above her core. She tried to shift her body so that his hand was where she so badly needed it but he held her firmly, ghosting his fingers down her thighs.
“Tell me what you want, Emma. Tell me what you need and I shall grant you your desire,” Killian commanded. Emma was so lost in how he was making her feel, she would’ve done almost anything he asked of her.
“I want you to use your fingers to make me scream. I need to come so badly, please, Killian,” Emma whimpered, relieved she finally admitted what she had wanted from him for so long.
“As you wish,” he nodded, releasing her arm and sitting back on his haunches. He pushed her thighs wide and pushed himself back so he could kiss an alternating path up her legs to her center. He ran one finger through her folds to find her desire very evident.
“Seven hells, Emma, you’re fucking soaked,” his accent thicker with desire. He slipped one digit into her and she sighed as his thumb found her clit with unerring accuracy, circling it at the same time he slipped another finger into her. Emma knew as keyed up as she was it wouldn’t take much to make her come but Killian was determined to draw it out, moving quickly until her breath was so ragged and she was just about to fall before slowing the movement of his thumb and making only shallow thrusts with his fingers. He added a third finger, stretching her, guiding her towards the edge again. A few times he moved each finger independent of the other, gently caressing her inner passage in a way Emma had never experienced, before he went back to moving his fingers in tandem again. She had trusted few men to go down on her or to finger her because most often it was to intimate for the purpose she had in mind but this blew all of those limited experiences out of the water.
Emma opened her eyes to see Killian staring at her in awe as though he couldn’t believe what they were doing. His desire had almost completely overtaken blue eyes, leaving them as dark as the ocean behind them. His thumb circled her clit, the pressure unbearable and Emma’s back arched as she pushed herself onto Killian’s hand.
“That’s it, love, take what you need of me,” Killian coaxed as his fingers fucked her faster and with one final swipe over her clit, Emma cried out as her orgasm overtook her.
Emma was still coming down from her high as she watched Killian licking his lips and diving between  her thighs. His tongue made contact with her sensitive bundle of nerves and she yelped. His tongue swirled unrelentingly at the same moment he plunged two fingers back into her, curling to find her sweet spot. Emma grabbed his hair and held him in place, riding his face and fingers once more until pleasure crashed into her, wave after wave. Killian pulled back and let her body relax, wiping his face clean and gazing at her as though she hung the moon.
She had a feeling unless she did something, he wouldn’t take things any further. “Killian, I need more. You told me you’d grant my desires. Well right now, I need you to be naked.” She unfastened his belt and shoved his pants down, glad he didn’t seem to be wearing any boxers, and freed his sizeable cock.
She tried to run her hand over his hard length but he stopped her and mumbled something that sounded like ‘another time’. He stood to divest himself of his shoes and pants. When he finally lowered his hips to be cradled between her thighs, Emma guided him to her entrance, unconcerned by the lack of protection. She was on the pill and wanted him without any barriers.
Killian cursed repeatedly, grasping her hip tightly enough she’d probably have marks afterwards, as he sank into her inch by inch until he was fully sheathed in her cunt. Emma felt fuller than she ever imagined she could. Her dreams and imaginings were nothing compared to reality.
“Wow,” she gasped.
“Indeed, love. You feel wonderful around my cock. Do you think you can come for me one more time, love?” Killian asked, beginning to move, slowly at first but more frantically as his control slipped, his hips pressing into hers over and over. Emma closed her eyes as her muscles clenched in orgasm around him as he had asked.
Emma moaned when Killian’s hand slipped into her hair, guiding her face, her lips, to his for a kiss. The shift in their angle caused a break of their kiss, each groaning in unison at the pleasure boiling over. Emma caressed Killian’s cheek, tucking his unruly raven hair out of his face. Killian smiled but didn’t say anything, knowing exactly what she needed without words.
His blunted arm slipped under her ass and pulled her even closer to him. Killian chuckled at her indignant ‘humpf’ and teasingly bit her left shoulder. Gentle kisses were peppered along the column of her neck to her ear at the same time his hand found a home against the other side of her neck, his thumb rubbing circles over her cheek. The touch from his rough, work-worn hand combined with his warm breath on her ear was too much. Thrust for thrust Emma and Killian continued past the breaking point, shattering together in a blinding climax, both completely spent.
Killian extracted himself from her and came back with a cloth from the picnic basket dampened with some water from a canteen. He moved to clean her and she shied away.
“Love, let me tend you?” Killian asked humbly. She nodded. It was almost awkward but after such intimacy, she could not deny it felt nice to have someone care for her thus. When he was finished he grabbed another blanket from the basket and pulling her body flush to his, her back to his front, and covered them securely with the blanket.
“Killian, we can’t stay here all night,” Emma protested. Silly afterthought given their activities out in the open on the beach. “Someone will catch us.”
“No, love. No one will catch us. This particular stretch of beach has an enchantment that keeps it hidden,” Killian explained.
“How did you find it then?” Emma queried, already knowing the answer.
“I’m a pirate, darling. I find treasures people intend to keep hidden. So as this place is protected from others, perhaps we can visit here again?”
“Definitely, this was never going to be a one time thing,” Emma agreed. “Plus I feel like we barely scratched the tip of the iceberg on your talents. You gave me more orgasms than I’ve ever had in one night. I’ve never experienced anything like that before. You have no idea how long I’ve wanted to do this.”
“Aye, love, I do know. I’m quite perceptive and I’ve seen the way you’ve looked at me, or more accurately my hand,” Killian whispered, voice husky in her ear as said hand tortured her breast, fingers lightly twisting her nipple.
Emma was glad he couldn’t see her face, red and flushed as it was, she felt on edge again, damn him. “Yeah, well, at first I was just curious how you managed with one hand but I realized you just found a new normal and didn’t let it define you. Now I know I should never have underestimated you or thought less of you because you lost your hand. And, yes, I wanted to know how you could make me feel with your strong hand and nimble fingers. You can do more with your one hand then most could accomplish with two hands. Tonight you wielded a different kind of magic than I’m used to and I want more.”
Emma felt his breath hitch as he digested her words, and since he was already holding his air, she figured now was as good a time as any to make sure he knew what she wanted next. “Next time, maybe in addition to your magical, musically talented fingers, you might also use your hook? I’d really love that.”
Emma felt Killian grin against her skin, “As you wish, love. As you wish.”

Hi, i am 17 in just over 2 weeks, and looking at car insurance i am shocked.. Cheapest i have found is 4900 fully comp on a vauxhall corsa (1L), and all other cars are over 5k which is like a grand over the price of the cars.

What can I do about car insurance from another state? PLEASE HELP!?
Okay basically here's the story. I'm 19, I live with my parents in Wisconsin but I'm trying to move back to Pennsylvania with my aunt and uncle. However I'm not in school at the moment. Apparently if I moved to PA, I'd have to pay 278 dollars more a month through Geico because I'd be living in a different state. I already have a job set up there and all so they could obviously see my paycheck is not from Wisconsin so I can't just lie or something lol.

Why is my insurance quote 10 times higher than last year?
So, i got my motorcycle license last summer and bought a 2003 Kawasaki ZX6R for $5000. My insurance from Progressive was $1700 for the year (full coverage). I rode it for two months before it got stolen. In those two months i got one ticket for straddling lanes. Once the bike got stolen i got all my money back. Now, I'm looking to get the same bike again. I just called Progressive and they want $6056 per year for full coverage!!!! And if i were to buy a brand new 2007 model it would be $10000!!

Car insurance for young men in the uk... unfair?
I'm a 19 year old guy living in the UK.. and I get SO annoyed at how much more guys have to pay for car insurance. I understand that it's because some guys my age decide to drive like complete a*se holes, but that doesn't mean all guys do?.. and I really resent paying more, just because of the boy racers. Yes, most fast drivers are teenage boys. However, this doesn't mean that most of teenage boys are fast drivers. I drive a Hyundai Getz for crying out loud.. I'm not going to go racing in it! Grr! I simply cannot afford to insure it under my own name at my age. What does everyone else think? Personally, I think it's pretty sexist against young men, and I think there should be a test of some sort which we could take which could prove our innocence and drop the costs.. Does anyone know how much a lie detector test for the question I am a safe driver would cost?""

I was in my first EVER car accident and it was my fault.

A few weeks later we get a phone call from the old car insurance company saying we need to pay them back for the other car which was close to 8,000 bucks we asked them why we are just now hearing about this we were never not once told we would have to pay anything and 6 months later you call us and tell us to pay you 8 grand all they had to say was sorry you werent contacted sooner they said they mailed us stuff but we didnt get anything. They mailed us a letter saying what they policy was saying that the reason we have to pay them is because it was a MATERIAL MISS REPRESENTATION we thought something isnt right so we took it to a lawyer and he said it cant be a material mss representation because that mean they wouldnt have covered me if I were on the policy which isnt true because my driving record was PERFECT not one thing wrong with it.

Dental Insurances in California...?
I live in California. What is the difference between HMO vs PPO? Meaning there cost and coverage. I know that HMO has a very small selection of Dentists and PPO means you can pick from a larger selection, but I am asking about costy and coverage. I am in need of either Dentures, Bridge work, and eventually Dental Implants badly. 2 emergency dentists that I have seen have mentioned something about... if I have a PPO then they will cover everything, but when I ask them to explain, they tell me to look it up because they don't have time to explain it to me. I have tried to look it up, but I can't seem to figure out what they are talking about. What did the dentist mean by... they will cover everything? As in I will not have to pay anything out of pocket? One dentist even said that if I have a PPO then he can do the work while I wait for the insurance to start, pay him directly, then he will give me back my money when the insurance pays him. But what does that mean? All the PPO and HMO plans I see say that I would still have to pay 50% of the cost. I am unemployed so money is a huge problem, but with my current problems with my teeth, I can not go on interviews. What is the best Dental Insurance in California I can get to cover the most of the expenses of the work I need done??? Free clinics have a 1-2 year waiting list and won't handle problems like mine.

I was in an auto accident without insurance. What am I facing?
I was in a car accident yesterday. I live in California. I had no insurance at the time, although I was unaware that my girlfriend had not sent in my quarterly paryment and was actually driving without insurance for almost 3 months. The day after the accident I went in to the Highway Patrol's office and spoke to the officer who took the report and informed him I discovered I had no insurance. He didnt seem all that concerned and thanked me for going in. As for the accidnet itself, I belief I will be found at fault as I did not brake in time and rear end a small car who in turn hit the car infront of her. I was traveling at about 30 mph when I started to brake and I heard the firefighter at the seen tell the chp he thought it was 25-30 mph. If anyone could tell me what I am facing legally and finacially. I read online I will automatically have a one year driver's license suspension. Is this accurate and is this all? WIll I ge a ticked or fine? I would also like for someone to rule out jail time. The driver immediately infront of me had good damage to the back of her car and was taken to the hospital with minor injuries. Her daughter called me the day after the accident and told me she was at her house but wanted her car fixed soon because she wanted to return home in another state. I suggested she call her own insurance and let them know I was inot insured. THe other driver in front and her passenger were also taken to the hospital with minor injuries and their car had minor damage when I looked at it at the time of the accident. I have not heard from them. Financially can anyone tell me what I am facing? I understand I will be responsible, but I also understand that the other parties' insurances will have to cover their own drivers. If so will I simply be responsible for their deductable. I am more concerned with the legal aspects than the financial. I am an single father of three and need to be there for my kids. Thank you to whoever can help!""

Cancer survivor getting health insurance or life insurance.?
I'm a childhood bone cancer survivor. I had osteosarcoma back in 1992 and had my leg amputated but the cancer never returned and the only issue after is I can't donate blood. I'm Canadian living in the province of Newfoundland. and while Canadian's have most of their health care covered though taxes most medications, private rooms, ambulance services, dental, and other services are not covered by all provinces. ( the big one for me is no coverage of prosthetic limbs) I was covered under my parents health insurance and will continue to be covered until I finish university. I'm also covered partly under my Fiance's work health insurance ( not very much) I'm getting married in 2010 and want to get some extra coverage for myself and any future family.

Not sure how much condo insurance to get?
I'm in the process of buying a condo, and I need to have condo insurance set up. However, I'm not really sure how much insurance I need on a condo.

Can I force insurance to pay for rental car if they take too long to make a decision after assessment?
First off I am in CA and the other liable insurance is Farmers or 21st century. For some reason Farmers is handling the claim. Ok, so I was in an accident in which the other party was at fault. As such their insurance has accepted liability. I have already taken my car get an assessment by one of their representatives at a repair place. But do to their stupidity in a few instances, its taking a long time for them to make a decision as to repair my car or call it a total loss. So because of that, in the mean time I am forced to drive my car which I do not feel comfortable driving in. The passanger seat belt doesn't work so I can't commute to school like I usually do. Bottom line is a have been patient when they did their investigation and everything, but its been a while now and my car is still not even in a shop to get fixed. In order to maybe speed up the process and make me feel safer, can I just get a rental car already force the other insurance to pay? After all they are completely liable since it was their driver that was at fault. Why do I have to wait day after day, driving a ruined car, while they take their sweet time making their BS decisions? I know that they legally have to pay for a rental while my car gets repaired, but again they are taking time simply deciding if its a loss or not. So because of them, its not in a shop just yet...., but can I still get a rental car early and have them pay anyway? Maybe that will make em hurry up.""

I am 26 years old and have had a major back surgery. Still I pay just $98/month for my Blue Cross of California PPO health insurance. Why doesn't everyone without insurance just go buy it for themselves instead of buying an Ipod or new cell phone? This would keep the government from rationing health care and having more power over us citizens as well as not forcing some people to pay for others.

Why is insurance so expensive?
I don't know if it depends on what state we live in but I live in Arizona and my parents used to have insurance for everything like auto and health. Now, they don't have it anymore because they're struggling with money and the price increased. My parents were legal immigrants from Mexico since 1987 in Los Angeles, California until we moved to Arizona around the early 1990s(I don't know if that also has anything to do with insurance but I guess it does with money). I'm starting to get frustrated that my family is very unfortunate to be suffering from this here in the United States.""
Selling a car without insurance?
I'm selling my car but my insurance expired one year ago since I moved out of the state and left my car at my husband's mom's. Now I want to sell it so posted it online and somebody wanted to look at it, so I asked husband's mom to meet with the guy. Then she says she would let him look at the car but since the insurance has expired, she wouldn't let him drive. I mean who would buy a used car without test driving right? According to her, if the buyer got into accident, I would get sued or something like that. Is that correct? She tends to say things she doesn't really know but she likes talking about legal issues. Does anybody know if she is correct or not?""

Getting car insurance for 17 year old... True or False?
Hi, i am 17 in just over 2 weeks, and looking at car insurance i am shocked.. Cheapest i have found is 4900 fully comp on a vauxhall corsa (1L), and all other cars are over 5k which is like a grand over the price of the cars. This is a bit pricey seeing as im not going to be using me car at all during the week when at school, but some weekends i will, but my parents are just saying i gotta accept its expensive and they dont mind paying. Anyway i heard today that if your dad owned his own business (which mine does) then you could get car insurance for like 1k on pretty much any standard car, is this true? Im the oldest sibling and therefore my parents dont really know much about getting good car insurance quotes, i know more than them tbh, so does anyone know anything about this way of insuring? Thanks for any help, been looking at black boxes too btw, dont know if i want to risk it. No rubbish comments about how im rich or whatever please. Thanks""

Primary and Secondary Health Insurance?
I would like to know what health insurance company is my primary. I had health insurance through my previous employer. I worked until the 6th of the month and I was told I had coverage through them until the end of the moth. My new job health insurance went into effect on the 1st of that month so for one month I had 2 coverages. One health insurance company is saying the job I was at first would be primary until the coverage ended. The other insurance company (the one I had the longest) says they would be primary up until my last day at my first job. Then even though I had two coverages my active employers health insurance would be primary. I will find out from my health insurance company tomorrow what is primary but since there office is now closed does anyon know the answer to this.

They sent me a letter telling me to basically find another company within a week. I was just wondering.. has this happened to anyone else?!

No insurance and pregnant.?
Serious answers only please. I'm currently 13 weeks pregnant without insurance. Also, I live in Pennsylvania. I have had prenatal checkups and bloodwork and stuff done, but my mother-in-law in paying out of her pocket for everything. My husband and I already applied for Medicare/Medicaid through the assistance office, but we got denied because we slightly make too much money. At my work, pregnancy is a pre-existing condition and it won't be covered on my insurance if I picked it up. The only other thing that I have done so far is apply for something at our hospital called the I-Care Fund. It only pays a % of laboratory work that you get done at the hospital such as bloodwork, etc. And they are going to pay 40% of the laboratory fees and a woman at the office said that it might cover the labor, but she's not sure. If anyone has any other advice on what I should do, please tell me. I feel really bad that my mother-in-law has to pay for everything.""

How would obamacare affect our family?
We are a middle class family, smack dab in the middle... Hubby's job provides health insurance, but for a family of 3, which we are, it would cost $200 a week for coverage, with high deductible, so! Since hubby is in exceptional health and hasnt had any medical problems (knock on wood!) he continues without health insurance; I remain on my parents plan as I'm 25 (aka under 26yrs old), and we pay for child health plus for my daughter, for a small fee a month, which depends on our income We simply couldn't afford to pay $800 a month for family coverage, so doing it this way saves us, like $600+! So since we don't make enough to pay for hubbys $800 family plan through work, is obamacare basically going to force hubby to get health insurance through his work, even though it's complete garbage? Or will his employer have more affordable family plan that we could afford? Just trying to understand it all better! Thanks in advance! :-)""

I know right now my dad paid almost 1200 for a six month policy on my car, but thats on his insurance and for being a diamond member. Thankyou all in advance.""

How will it affect my insurance?
My daughter Ashlynn has just turned 16, and shes begging me to allow her to get her a learners permit. I'm all for it, but i want to know how it will affect my insurance. I heard that a teen with a learners permit doesn't have any affect and in some cases you don't even have to notify the insurance company. If it helps, i have Esurance. Also i live in southern California. If anyone has any information it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks -Lauren.""
Best value Florida auto insurance?
I just moved from Illinois to Florida and am looking for auto insurance because my own company is upping my price from $125 to $275 a month with the same coverage (100/300K BI, 50K property, 100K UM, and roadside assistance) with the move. Upon obtaining quotes, the best I've gotten is with Esurance which is just over $200 a month. It seems that adding BI to any auto policy ups the price pretty heavily. Are there any mid-level or local insurance companies in Florida that generally offer better premiums than the heavy hitters I've been quoting with? I'm in Port Richey.""

Will I need SR 22 insurance?
Almost five years ago I got my license suspended in Ohio for a wreckless endangerment. As soon as it got suspended I did the classes I was required to take and paid my court fees. It took me a few years to pay all of my fines and the only thing keeping my license from being re-instated was the need for SR22 insurance. I never got the insurance. I'm now in California and looking to get my license back and I heard somewhere that three years after the suspension the need for the SR 22 bond drops, but I'm not sure if that's true or not? Does anyone know the laws for this situation in Ohio and will I still need to get the insurance in order to get my license unsuspended?""
