POV Lariel is wondering what book Ocean bought at the bookstore

he sees you, lariel ! 👁️ (even if someone else has his ear atm, lol)

[that-foul-legacy-lover]

you're a diver from Fontaine, one of the best in the entire Court, and are known far and wide for your ability to collect whatever resource people need- that's where most of your pay comes from, collecting beryl conches and romaritime flowers for jewelry, perfumes, and the like. but you also enjoy diving as a hobby, spending most of your time off in the water and enjoying the sights, your Vision allowing you to breathe easily under the waves. there's something about floating weightlessly in oceanic world that helps you feel so calm and at peace.

it's during one of these leisurely dives that you encounter something- or someone- incredible.

you won't lie, you were swimming too close to the Fortress of Meropide. yes, it's technically forbidden, but you couldn't help but investigate the deeper waters and caves around it after so long of staying away from the area! as long as you stayed away from the searchlights, no one would suspect a thing, so you swam down into the murky gloom. it's more difficult to see as you cautiously glance around, slightly on edge- until you come face-to-face with an oddly glowing light, seemingly emitting from a faceted crystal. you don't dare go towards it (you've had enough experience with ocean creatures to know it very well could be a lure), so instead it decides to come towards you, and an enormous slinking creature is revealed from the darkness. your blood runs cold, all instincts screaming to get away, run, but the monster merely chitters curiously, tilting his horned head and blinking at you quietly.

hesitantly, you raise a hand and wave, and the beast's singular eye widens in awe as he waves back.

you come back to visit the odd creature again and again after that day, becoming adept at avoiding the lights of Fontaine's prison. the monster- Childe, as he told you via carvings on the wall- was incredibly sweet despite his intimidating appearance, greeting you with a delighted chirp and a hug, always extremely gentle with you. he follows you as you explore, protecting you and bringing you trinkets that have sunk to the ocean floor, nudging your hands for head scritches. through his gestures and warbling tones you deduce that he lives in a cavern further below, one you refuse to go to- it makes your skin crawl, for some reason. rarely does Childe come to the surface, but occasionally he'll accompany you if he doesn't want to see you go, wrapping his scaled tail around your legs and whining until you give him a kiss on the forehead. he loves you, and you love him, and he was your special secret.

until you began to fall mysteriously ill, your breaths coming out short and ragged and your head filling with cotton clouds. at first you think it's just a common cold, but it doesn't go away, only getting worse over time. the doctors you visit don't seem to have a cure, merely telling you to rest until you feel better, which you never do, no matter how many hours you sit on the shore with Childe's head in your lap. his worry for you makes you feel a little happier, caressing his cheeks and whispering hoarsely to him as he whimpers, claws dancing over your cheeks in an attempt to hold you back. but it hurts and you cough again and again, growing weaker by the day for no reason other than fate's cruel story.

you don't know that Childe is a monster from the Primordial Sea, gradually wearing away at your strength and life, until it's too late.

atsumu is definitely a greedy man.

it's how he pushed himself into the professional athlete he is, always demanding more of not only himself but from those around him. the difference with him though, is that his greed is a greed that stems from love.

after all, that's what atsumu embodies: love in its purest form. it's his justification for why he's so drawn to you, why everything you do to him has him acting this irrationally, just for you to glance in his direction. some might call him pathetic, but he likes to think of it as an unwavering devotion. and he's sure you'd agree too.

the glittery gold and black jersey only cements his certainty. he could spend a lifetime blowing his load to the image of you bent over all pretty for him, your pussy sucking his thick cock in like your life depends on it, the last name "miya" placed squarely on your back. there's something about seeing the fabric bounce with each one of his thrusts that makes him want to carve a deeper place into your heart, like his jersey on you is proof that you're his.

"fuck, you're so tight, babe. you're gonna make me cum if you keep tightening up around me like that... fuck, d'you like that? like it when i hit it from behind?" he slurs, his vision already hazy with pleasure. he doesn't want to waste even a second looking away from you. his hands push up against the hem of the big jersey, but he makes sure not to crumple up his name as his big palms play with tits, gripping at your body and trying to press up as much of himself as he can against you.

god, you feel so small against him. it's like his jersey's threatening to eat your body up whole, and it makes his cock twitch dangerously inside of you. you're so good to him, too good to him, and instead of satiating him, it only fuels him more. he wants every part of you, the good and the ugly, the moral and the immoral, the presentable and the hideous. the jersey sporting his name clinging to your skin is just a physical marking of that.

atsumu is definitely a greedy man.

😁 NONNIE MY LOVELY NONNIE I AM VERY MUCH NORMAL ABOUT THIS YES THANK YOU :D !

✨ ― i love the way you write

💖 ― you seem like a genuinely nice person

⊹ ࣪ ˖ @firstsoncain. meme. still accepting!

ava ur brilliant... just a brilliant writer, your writing feels lived in. i might be a little cagey nd hard to get along with to some with bad taste and no pizzazz, but we click so well and i love that... plotting with you isn't awkward, we can go UOOUHUHGUGUFHGFIDKJ together over cainvi, and it doesn't feel weird. and they don't feel forced. reading ur reply from yesterday to the ask i sent was as natural and flowed like a sun dappled stream passing over smooth stones... i love writing w. you already and i cant wait to see what else we get into?! i adore cain, i will invite him to my birthday party.

also vi is so down bad for him lmaaooo that anon was right. virote is down bad!

Btw moving to college does not feel like packing up and moving your whole life and is more akin to chopping yourself into bits and pieces, choosing nothing more than a handful of parts to fit into a tiny box, leaving the rest of yourself piled in a room that used to be yours, and hoping you still find yourself in what you left behind when you inevitably come home to it

sometimes i worry i get too many commissions of my fav oc but then i see ur dedication to ocean & im like. actually i don't have enough art of them ! thank u 4 inspiring me

omg anon, this is legit so fkn sweet ! 😭 tysm for taking the time to come into my askbox & tell me 💛 sometimes i fear i go on and on abt ocean too much, or i comm him too much, & i worry ppl r like o god not this tomato boy again 😡

but the truth is ppl have been v supportive & kind abt him 🥺 others who've told me they appreciate the time or energy i put into him, or that i've stuck w him for so long. it means sm to me, cuz it's tough for me to create new ocs or branch out w/o getting overwhelmed.

i love creating, but ig i've always been a late bloomer, and it takes me forever to write or sort thru my thoughts. but what matters is that there will b ppl who stick around & support ur pace, and they're worth everything 💛

is there like a tag or something people are using for their "a mending" playthroughs

Shinsou is nervous. There's no denying it. You've had three great dates, a lot of banter before that and he's still quietly shaking from kissing you on your doorstep a few nights earlier. But now you've turned radio silent. No texts. No calls. No pictures or silly captions posted on any site you use.

Did you ghost him? Would you do that? You're part of a bigger friend group, you've been friends before you decided to take a step further, but what else could this be?

He caves three miserable days later and calls Tsuyu, because he knows she won't make fun of him but will tell him to his face if she thinks he's a creep.

"Nohr is sick," Tsuyu says quietly. "I've been at her place every day to make sure she's eating and drinking and to feed her cat."

"What can I do?" He asks, trying to swallow the lump in his throat. He's been wallowing in self-doubt while you're suffering! That's not Boyfriend material! That's not even friend material!

"You can cook, right?" Tsuyu asks and explains what he already knows. The foods you prefer when the pain hits. Where you hide your spare key. What to look out for when caring for your cat.

By the time he arrives at your apartment, he feels like he's back in high school, his biggest exam right in front of him. If he fails today, he can kiss this relationship goodbye, right? He'd always tried to be caring and understanding when you were friends, but now that he wants to be more to you, he has to show that he can be more to you.

You're asleep when he comes in and when he leaves. He's not sure if you even understood that it was him moving around you instead of Tsuyu, but the weight of your body, as he held you upright while you ate, has told him something, a secret he had already known but forgotten:

It's not the big things that make a relationship, it's all the little things instead. It doesn't mean he stops planning date number four, but it means he's more than ready to be back at your apartment tomorrow, to clean out your cat's litter box and shake up your pillows.

He loves you. What else would he do?

dira i am CRYING SMILING SOBBING WIMPERING THIS CHEERED ME UP IMMENSELY THE SECOND (THE! SECOND!) I RECEIVED IT AND WAS ABLE TO READ IT OH MY HOSHHHH........... i am OUT of words and just 😭🧡 MY HEART IS SQUEEZING ILYSM... GO GHE ENDS OF GHE EARTH....!!!!!

[petit-etoile]

Not a request, only here to say that I've JUST read your two fics with prince!Astarion, and lemme tell you..... it was AMAZING. I legit cannot put enough emphasis on how much they were captivating, beautifully written and enchanting!

You, dear artist, have revived my flame for writing with just two of your works (and I cannot wait to read more of what you might have in store!)

I wish you the most beautiful of days / nights wherever you may be on this planet!💜

i  know  i  keep  saying  this  over  &  over  but  i  really  am  just  fully  overwhelmed  with  how  much  support  i've  been  getting  recently  ⸻  &  hearing  people  say  things  like  "you've  inspired  me  to  write"  /  "you're  my  inspiration"  is  so  new  &  monumental  for  me .  i  keep  tearing  up  &  rereading  the  kind  messages  over  again  because  i  want  to  remember  what  these  emotion  feels  like !  ( which  is  like ,  understandably  melodramatic  but  i   really  am  so  honored  that  so  many  people  read / comment / share  my  fics  because  i've  always  felt  like  an  acquired  taste  rather  than  the  kind  of  fic  author  people  go  hunting  for ,  so  it's  just  SO  MUCH  FEELING . )  like ,  even  reading  the  tags  that  say  things  like  "you  can  taste  their  writing" / "its  written  so  vividly  you  can  see / hear  it"  make  me  pause &  have  to  lay  down  like  i  can't  keep  saying  thank  you  because  i  don' t  know  if  that's  a  good  enough  response  sometimes !!

I feel like Dean from Blue Valentine would kiss you slowly, going lower and lower and lower until he lifts your skirt slightly but looks at you for permission. Once he gets it, he'd gently pull your panties off, making sure to slide the palms of his hands down your thighs before diving in, doing it as if to both pleasure and savor you at the same time. Because he loves you. He missed you. You've been gone from his universe for a while and he wants you to know how much he loves you.
