thank you to @twist-dg for this collab! Sapphire, Ruby, and Divinity are her characters (blue dress, green dress, and happy starfish man respectively) from her au Divine Gemstones (@divine-gemstones). Zelda, Link, and Ganon are my characters (overalls, braid, and curls respectively) from my au Shadows of the Triforce. we each drew and shaded our respective guys, and I drew the explosion while twist drew the background and the cookies, as well as ultimately putting all our little guys together on the same screen

This was inspired by a draw the squad template from @riddscorner from this post

Properly re-did this post because. weeelll…. that first one was just me dinking about 😅 not sure I can say this one is much more proper either, since the colors fought me HARD. So I just. Didn’t. Either way-

<3 I adore them to bits and pieces

For those who don't want to click the link, heres the context as stated last post:

I think that despite painter not being able to eat anything, he’d really get into baking if there was a hypothetical where they got out and settled down. It probably would enjoy decorating pastries- And although he’s more of a landscape artist, he still tried it's best to make Sebastian into a cookie :]

[freyito]

Can you write HDC where Smoke, Kaui Liang and Bihan take care of their girlfriend who's sick? :)

of course! i'm gonna make this for a gender neutral reader tho, since i have a lot of female asks! this might be one of my favorite tropes

cw: fluff!!!, Bi-Han's just a little bit distant, proofread

ᴛʜᴇ ʟɪɴ ᴋᴜᴇɪ ᴛʀɪᴏ + ᴀ ꜱɪᴄᴋ ᴘᴀʀᴛɴᴇʀ

Tomas...

worries over you. He's by your side, 24/7, even if you insist he'll get sick too. He doesn't care, he wants to make sure your okay. Tomas is at your beck and call, making sure your comfortable. Feeling cold? He's got three blankets picked out for you, take one, take all. Want a warm bath? Already drawn, he's even got some florals, candles, and soaks picked out. Thirsty? He's got some green tea already brewed. Or, if you don't like tea, he has some orange juice, or water if you so choose. Tomas has some soup for you, too. Česnečka, a Czech garlic soup. Something he says will cure anything. He'll even sing you a Czech lullaby every night, if you ask nicely. Eventually, when you recover from your cold, and Tomas inevitably ends up falling ill, you'll be there to give him the same treatment.

Bi-Han...

doesn't quite know what to do. Yes, he's worried, but amongst being the grandmaster of the Lin Kuei, and his cold demeanor, he believes he doesn't have much time to worry over you. It is only when Liu Kang- of all people- pushes him in the right direction. With his trust over the Lin Kuei in his brothers hand, he never leaves your bedside. Unless you ask, of course. Bi-Han is very soft with you, and really, all he wants to do is hold you. He knows he can't, but it's kind of hard to hold himself back! While he doesn't know what to do, he will do anything you ask of him, short of kissing you. Bi-Han, unlike Tomas, has some restraint, and he'd rather have you save your strength, and not have to worry about him after your sick. Ask, and ye shall receive. Down to the very specifics. As many blankets as you want, as many pillows as you want, the exact temperature of your bath, what herbs could make you feel better, how to carry you, etc. And, as much as Bi-Han wants you to rest, ultimately, he'll end up giving into those pretty eyes of yours, and go on a walk with you. It's okay, though, the fresh air will do you some good.

Kuai Liang...

dotes over you. He's afraid of you being sick, even if it is just a common cold. Somehow, seeing you weak and bedridden makes his stomach churn. He's worried sick. It's only when Bi-Han tells Kuai Liang to be with you that he fully devotes himself to your care. He is very physically present, he has to be touching you somewhere. Mainly, he keeps your pinkies linked, even in the slightest. The minute he was freed of his duties he had gotten you everything you could possibly need. He has so many teas chosen for you, and even more spicy foods. He wants to make sure you eat well, but Kuai Liang can't say no to you, so when you ask for a cookie, a slice of cake, something sweet that you maybe should avoid, he's still going to get it for you. He will always carry you to your bath, too. And wash your hair. As long as whatever he's doing helps you feel better in any way, he doesn't mind. And afterwards, he'll put new, clean sheets on your bed. Kuai Liang doesn't give himself much room to fail, much less to fail you. So, when you finally regain your strength, it is almost as if Kuai Liang is a new man, more focused and lethal than ever.

Tasty Treat

Arlecchino x fem!baker!reader

Link to part 2

Very ooc arlecchino

(i dont know her character wel but she's hot, so i thought I'd give it a shot)

Planning on doing research on her though!!

Fuckk i love women omg

Second mini-fic ever how exciting!!

Please request stuff here!! It's hard to come up with prompts ;-;

I wrote this at 3 am so excuse the lack of structure

You start your usual routine of setting everything up for the day, although today is a bit special. Your bakery doesn't have many customers, considering the place it's in is quite remote. A peaceful forrest that's still in fontaine borders yet far away from any other buildings or people.

You chose this place because you appreciate the beauty and peace that nature brings you. The birds whisteling in the morning, the foxes chittering, the sound of tree leaves rustling. Yet that peace comes with quite a heft price. Loneliness. Besides the old lady that lives in a small village near the forrest, you don't get much human interaction. Even though your bakery is quite big and fits lots of people, you don't really have a lot of customers to share it with.

A week ago, you received a business offer from the house of the hearth. Since the bakery near the orphanage closed down, they don't have any establishments providing them things like breakfast treats and pastries. That's why they're employing you. The contract has you preparing and delivering the food to the hearth.

Even though this seemed like quite a lot of work, you accepted. I mean, how could you not? You get to make pasteries for adorable kids, making them smile, AND you get paid? This is a dream come true. After years of sulking alone in the damp forest serving a customer here and there, you get the privilege of a constant source of profit.

After hours of baking, your tired eyes look at the required amount of food stated in the order, and you realize that this is only enough for the kids. How strange that the boss herself did not order anything. Does she eat breakfast somewhere else? Nevertheless, you decide to make something anyway.

After packing up the orders, you start walking towards the orphanage, barely holding on to the several boxes stacked on top of eachother.

As you arrive, you set the boxes down and ring the orphanage's doorbell. An earie ring echoes from inside.

A tall woman opens the door. Her snow white hair with the occasional black streak looks down at you from the doorframe. Her brows furrow slightly at the sight of you, and the boxes.

"Are you alone?" She asks, you're confused, to say the least. "...yes?" You mutter. "How come you've managed to carry all those boxes on your lonesome?" Her sultry voice sounds out as she crosses her arms in amusement, holding back a grin. Before you can answer, you hear who you assume are the kids, walking slowly towards the persumed dining room.

"I'll help you with these," Arlecchino says curtly as she picks up a few boxes to bring to the kitchen. You pick up the last remaining boxes as you tail behind her.

As you and Arlecchino start unpacking and putting the treats on plates, you can't help but think of how different you expected Arlecchino to be. Clearly, her reputation precedes her. All the while your mind is drifting off to several different subjects, you don't notice the red-crossed eyes staring your way.

After the children finish eating, you stay a while, wanting to hear their opinion on the treats. As you basically survey them, you take the time to get to know some of them. Playing games with them and answering their unending questions.

As you realise you've overstayed your welcome, you say goodbye to the kids and quickly leave the orphanage. On your way back, you reach your hand into your purse, trying to take out your cherry flavored gum. You eventually find it but with it a little pink box brushes your hand. The cookie, you forgot to give it to Arlecchino.

Sat in her office, Arlecchino can't stop thinking about the kind-hearted baker she employed. Just looking at her interacting with the kids made something burn up inside of her. A little warmth that warms her cold, unfeeling heart. She looks out the window, hoping to have some reprieve from this strange feeling. Yet it seems the archons are against her wishes as she sees a certain baker running towards the orphanage. Almost tripping on her way. Even though it is foolish to entertain feelings for such a seemingly simple creature, Arlecchino can't help but grin at another interaction with her. Usually, she doesn't like to play with her food. But this time, she might make you an exception.

You stumble into the building as one of the kids, whom you now know is called Tealus, opens the door for you. With the pink box in hand, you stride through the halls looking for Arlecchino's office. As you ask one of the children, they point to the dark, long hallway without windows. How fitting. Your heels clicking softly as you walk over to her black office double doors. This place seems more like a villain's lair than an orphanage to you now, but you digress.

You knock 5 times in a specific pattern you were used to as a child when you hear a stern "Come in." You pull the golden doorhandle as the office window light starts flooding the hallway. You quickly close the door behind you as you step closer to her desk.

She does not look up from the paperwork on her desk as she multitasks without problem. "Why are you still here, baker." Just because she approves of your bond with the kids does not mean she will treat you differently from other people. "I saw there was nothing for you on the order list, so I made you something." You say proudly. You start rambling as you explain how you forgot to give it to her during breakfast.

She interrupts you as she reaches out her hand. "Can I see it?" You're flustered as you quickly hand her the box. She places it down gently on her desk as she lifts the packaging. Facing Arlecchino is a cookie with a white base, decorated with a black and red spider on top. "How adorable," Arlecchino mutters softly. Your soft 'huh' drives her back to reality as she responds. "I'm not very fond of sweet treats. I prefer savory things." She almost chuckles at the sight of your worried eyes locking with hers. "I can make you something else if you'd like? Hmm, although I can't think of many savory pasteries..." As you start naming some options, you reach for the cookie, trying to throw it away, but Arlecchino's quick reflexes hold your wrist before you can get close. "I thought you didn't like it?" Your confusion radiating off of you. "I never said such a thing. I merely said I prefer savory treats." She softly lets your wrist go as she stores the cookie on a desk extension behind her.

From then on, this has become routine, although some things have changed throughout the weeks. Instead of delivering the food alone, Arlecchino stops by early in the morning to help you carry them. Sometimes, it results in small talk when you haven't finished packing the orders yet.

Usually, she doesn't speak much and lets you do all the talking. You fear she's getting annoyed from your constant ramblings, but unbeknownst to you, she loves it when you talk about your interests and things you love.

This was a bit short, but if you wanna see a specific trope with this situation, you can req anything you wantt!!

Might do a part 2 of this idk yet

[medullamindset]

NSFW alphabet with Loris

Content warnings: obviously nsfw, mnetions of potential pregnancy kinks, lactophilia, brief mention of period sex under "Wild card", panty sniffing, somno, Reader is female coded (boobs, vagina, is physically smaller, ect.) but no pronouns used.

A - Aftercare

(what they're like after sex)

Loris is NEVER skipping aftercare on his own terms, if you just wanna go to bed he'll ask you to atleast drink some water first, then rub your tummy or back till you fall asleep, kissing the crown of your head and smelling your shampoo till he drifts off too.

But if he was particularily rough or you went for very long he'll run a bath for you and rub your back. He cares about your comfort so much. He'd literally handfeed you grapes if you asked. Dont even move.

B - Body part

(their favorite bodypart of their partners and theirs)

On you, Loris loves your torso, thick or thin. that sounds odd but like.. Hes so entranced by the way it twists and turns, the way your fat folds over itself when you bend, or the way your ribs poke out a bit when you stretch.. Shit just does it for him. Bonus if you have a bellybutton piercing, a happytrail or hip/womb tattoos, all three would literally kill him. his mouth is watering, he wants to eat you alive bro.

On himself, Loris is very proud of his height and stature. No one fucks with him (besides you, literally). Hes approx 200 cm's tall, hes broad and strong.

He could deck anyone who lays their hands on you. Not to mention carrying your bags, reach things for you, kiss your forehead, engulf you completely when cuddling, carry you when your feet hurt

..bend you in any way that he likes........

C - Cum

(anything to do with their cum)

Thick ropes, milky-white and slightly salty. Alchohol is very dehydrating. So lets be real, his cum wouldn't be a delicacy. Just remind him to drink water ok? But that's not to say it wouldn't still be erotic, he cums quite a lot, rope after rope, PAINTING you, whether thats inside or on your body.

👀 <-- link

D - Dirty secret

(a dirty secret of theirs)

Something Loris will NEVER admit to you unless caught in the act, is how often he sniffs your clothes when getting off all alone. I mentioned in my Loris headcanons that hes got a thing for smells/the smell of his lover and ong it doesn't even always have to be ur used underwear... It usually is cuz he only really jacks off when he misses you like CRAZY and is DESPARATE FOR THAT COOKIE. But he loves to just hold your sleep shirt up to his nose when jerking off, imagining it's his face in your neck while you work his length with those pretty hands of yours. Or humping the matress with his face pressed into your pillow hnngh.. But yeah hes an underwear sniffer 👻

E - Experience

(how experienced are they? do they know wtf they're doing?)

Loris has a fair amount of experience from his 40 something years of life. Hes far from a sexgod but hes not a virgin either. Hes had sex w sum cuties in his 20's-early 30's but man, his size has gotten in the way on multiple occasions, girls frustratingly putting their clothes back on when they couldn't take him or when it hurt. He was honestly a bit nervous first time you we're in bed together cuz he knew his size was something to 'gulp' at if u weren't used to it. But u took it like a BOSS 💪💪💪😎

Long story short, he knows what hes doing. Took a little while to get fully comfortable the two of you, but now hes shameless.

F - Favorite position

(their favorite position basically)

Its a tie between missionary and cowgirl.

He loveloveLOVES having you under him, pampering you, praising you, interlocking hands above your head, pushing your knees up to your shoulders to watch you come undone completely, getting a full view of your bouncing tits as he thrusts into you with vigor.

But ohhh aren't you a sight when bouncing on his cock? Your nails scratching at his chest, playing with his happytrail absentmindedly. He loves watching the way your body moves, once again the whole torso thing,, the way it rolls back and forth as you arch your back to really move up n down his length. Its near hypnotizing.

The heels of his feet are planted firmly into the matress/floor the whole time so he can start snapping his hips into yours the second he feels your thighs give in.

G - Goofy

(are they more serious in the moment? or do they let a little humour slip?)

To Loris, what is sex if its completely serious? Thats no fun, it should get to be a little silly now and then, like imagine hes fucking you eyerollingly good but suddenly a rather harsh thrust from him has your head hitting the headboard with an awfully cartoonish 'bonk!', he'd slow down immediately and just look at u like this 😧 until you burst into a fit of giggles and tell him you're okay, he mutters a 'Sorry-..' before joining you in laughing, cradling your head and planting a kiss to the very top before pulling you down and readjusting the pillows a bit, starting off nice and slow again to gradually pick up where you left off.

Or imagine hes fucking u in missionary and gets an AGONIZING charley horse heheHA i love him

You end up giving him a massage while he just lies there with a dopey smile, feeling a little silly about the whole thing.

H - Hair

(how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes ect.)

I live for the hairy bear type but Loris has a seemingly naked chest under that unbuttoned v-neck shirt of his (slut), no hair, his happytrail on the other hand ohhh mama, thick, dark curls streching from his trimmed brush all the way to his bellybutton. His arms and legs are fuzzy but the hair there is lighter so its not as visible. Doesn't shave ever but he tames that jungle every once in a while, just to keep it modest y'know.

now about a partner with hair... He loves that shit, if ur visibly hairy, no matter ur gender he finds it so gorgeous. He thinks all natural is hotter than clean shaven. Bonus points again if u have a happytrail yourself or visible arm hair he LIVES FOR THAT SHIT. And hes not afraid to explore your jungle either ykwim? Hes pulling the drapes aside and going to fucking town idc he dont care nobody care

I - Intimacy

(how are they in the moment? the romantic aspect.)

Hes so devoted to you, Loris loves ALL of you and hes gonna prove it. His lips are on yours more than half the time, groaning into your mouth and mumbling praises into your skin as he travels down your body, worshipping it piece by piece, limb by limb. He saids some of the sweetest things to you.. Little 'Pretty baby's, 'so soft's and 'could just eat you alive's whispered to you in exchange for those pretty noises you make STOP

J - Jacking off

(masturbation headcanon)

Loris didn't really have any interest or "reason" to masturbate before meeting you. He was too busy being shitfaced drunk or sleeping or both. But when you're gone away and hes left alone with only traces of you and your scent lingering in the sheets.. He can't help but get desparate sometimes.

He always imagines its you instead of him, your much softer hand pulling his foreskin back and teasing his tip, your gummy n slick walls squeezing around him, your warm tongue swirling around his shaft like a ferret on adderall. But its never the same, your laundry comes in clutch tho!

K - Kink

(one or more of their kinks. do they have any?)

Mild somnophilia kink, he wouldn't mind his body being your alarm in the morning at all and vice vercsa (◠‿◠) (i wrote something abt this actually it's in my pinned) he'd will do foreplay until you stir awake tho so u can turn him away if u decide you're not in the mood, OR grumble something with a pout all while pulling him closer, urging him to keep going.

But he'll literally let you do whatever you want to him when hes asleep, or in general tbh. Hes such a dog in that sense, if you're in the mood it wont take long till he is too.

But also hes open to try things if you've got something in mind. Like mild pain kinks, you wanna drag a knife across his skin while you ride him into next orbit?? Gulp okay, beautiful.. ,')

But ya in general hes not that "hardcore", to name a few; spit kink, somno, mildest of pain kinks, size kink, Auralism-he loves all the noises that come with sex, esp yours, mmmmmaybe he'd have a pregnancy kink... Just like,... Ok imagining you all round and bare does THINGS to him alright? Thats probably another dirty secret of his tbh. If he were to get you pregnant he'd probably develop lactophilia too, hes nastyyyyy goddd

L - Location

(favorite places to do it)

He perfers sex in the comfort of your own home, he doesn't mind where, you've had sex in practically every room. Wherever its initiated,, your bed, your desk, the couch, the kitchen counter, the kitchen table was too wobbly so you were pushed up against the nearest wall instead, and sometimes you do it in the shower but its a bit trickier.

M - Motivation

(what gets them going?)

Your moans and bodily reactions really keep Loris going. Your stomach twitching when he nips at your inner thighs, followed by a labored gasp.. He just loves to know hes making you feel good. Your back arching as you near an orgasm, holding your breath subconsiously, hands playing with his hair before suddenly gripping it and pushing his face further into your heat. He aims to please (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)

N - No

(something they would not do, turn offs)

Loris would never do anything that involves inflicting pain on you. No cnc, no masochism, no slapping, choking, cutting, burning. He doesn't wanna call you degrading names either, or be called degrading names for that matter. He doesn't understand it, it isn't fun to him.

He would be kinda confused if you suggested it, turning the whole thing into a conversation about healthy relationship morals instead lol 😭 He just wants whats best for u

O - Oral

(giving and receiving headcanons. do they like it?)

Giving; Loris is a MUNCH. He almost always goes down on u during foreplay, some days he'll spend hours between your legs kissing and licking and sucking. Arms holding you impossibly tight, sometimes reaching up to play with your nipples, rutting against the bed out of desparation. He eats pussy not only cuz it brings you pleasure, but him too. He gets so lost in it, moaning at just your taste alone. He'll lay his head on your stomach and pass out after a while, as if he's the one who just came six times.

Receiving; He loves head, the sloppier the better. And if u can take all of him good LORD. Hes panting and groaning, his stomach flexing at the way you trace the protruding veins of his cock with your tongue. He genuiely loses it when you look up at him, your eyes watering at the odd feeling of his dick twitching in your throat.

Sometimes he doesn't last for more than five minutes, the wet warmth of your mouth just drives him up the wall.

P - Pace

(are they fast and rough, or slow and sensual? both?)

Like i said, Loris aims to please. He can go slow and passionate, it always starts slow, low grunts like a warm wind against your skin as he licks and kisses up your sternum. Panting against eachothers mouths with your foreheads touching. But then it picks up, and he leans back to watch you come undone, not closing his eyes for one second. If you ask him to go harder he wont hesitate, anything for his baby. He honestly gets a little full of himself when your pouty whines turn into broken moans and shouts of his name, babbling about how big he is and how good he feels, clenching around him so hard he might bust right then and there.

Q - Quickie

(their opinion on quickies, how often, ect.)

As previously mentioned, Loris gets so in the zone a quickie just wouldn't happen. Unless you're the one in charge that is. Quick penetrative sex wouldn't be as enjoyable if he feels hes in a hurry, and if hes giving you oral you're cumming more than once. Blow him and you can be done in minutes, but honestly, wheres the fun in that?

R - Risk

(are they came to experiment? are they willing to risk getting caught?)

Hes not big on the idea of getting caught anywhere, you've blown Loris a few times in bar toilets and stuff but that's with the door locked. If you can't lock a door its not happening.

S - Stamina

(how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)

Loris has good stamina for someone his age, he visibly works out i mean have you seen him? He can last rounds. After two or three of snapping you in half he might need a small break lol but after a few minutes he can go again

T - Toys

(do they own toys? are they interested?)

Depends, Loris is intruiged by vibrators. If you already have one he might pull it out and use it on your clit while fucking you, and he'll maybe let you use it on him from time to time. Hes a bit iffy about dildo's tho, he gets borderline greedy when it comes to you so he could never sit back and watch you fuck yourself with one. And also its not coming near his asshole.

U - Unfair

(how much do they like to tease? being teased?)

I said greedy and i meant it. If he can help it, Loris cant contain himself once hes got you naked and splayed out for him. Maybe he'll try teasing you a bit, but a pouty whine of his name and a tug at his hair is all it takes for Loris to give in :( now if you're teasing him? The man is whining quietly to himself, trying to contain himself and hold back on the complaints, grabbing at any flesh of yours he can reach, just watching with those pleading eyes of his and a small frown AUGH PATHETIC 🧐👉👌

V - Volume

(how loud they are, what sounds they make, ect.)

Loris can get real noisy when fucking you, the pleasure near suffocating as all his senses are stimulated. He starts off panting as you make room for him, but those pants eventually turn into grunts and guttural groans, even whining sometimes if it feels extra good for some reason, or hes really worn out/overstimulated.

W - Wild card

(a random headcanon for the character)

Literally does not care if you're on ur period, if you're both horny whats that gonna stop you? The mere fact that you're comfortable enough with it fills him with pride, that you dont feel the need to hide/shy away from intimacy just cause ur going through something so natural. He'll gladly fuck you mindless if your cramps are bothering you, just say the word. Stepping into the shower with you after to clean up, no shame lovey

hes got pj's and a heatpack prepared for you right when you come back to bed.

X - X-ray

(Lets see whats hiding below that belt..)

Long and thick, 7.5 inches and 5 diameters to be precise. Its such a good stretch, hurts for a bit but it turns into eyerolling pleasure in no time and also why he eats you out like a man starved beforehand. He has two extra prominent veins running from the base to his tan-ish tip, uncut. Well trimmed as previously stated c:

Y - Yearning

(how high is their sex drive in general?)

Out of 10 its like a solid 6, it isn't hard to get him going. Just wear something you know he likes, do something subtle you know turns him on and boom, horny. And hes overall a very passionate person with his partner, he loves being intimate in any shape or form. If ur someone with a high sex drive hes lowkey willing to fuck you everyday

Z - Zzz

(how quickly do they fall asleep after?)

Is definetly tired post-sex, but he isn't one to just fall asleep straight away. Hes at your service with everything you need first and foremost. The second you're good tho he is crawling into bed, engulfing you with his size, like a big, snoring weighted blanket.. Shamelessly sniffing your hair with a hand running up and down your back soothingly. And yes, he snores <3

had more to say than i thought lmaoo eat up LorisNation C:

[yanderecookierunkingdom]

So basically ideas I got That you can work with if you feel like it! Also love your writing and I'm kinda new but not really ^^

-the beast cookies probably have a fear of small and tight spaces after litteraly being trapped in them for centuries especially shadow milk cookie because of him being able to change his size

-as much as they want to it would be hard to get a normal eating habit back or eat to much at one time because of being trapped for so long

-they would all so most likely have panic attacks or stuff if someone mentions trapping them again (which you could lead to a prompt about him being defeten or something which causes a panic attack and someone could have to calm him down if you want to or are up for it)

-there powers could act up if there in a panic even if there powers are trapped or disabled at the time (which can link to the one above this)

-Box Anon

Any mentions of the prisons, trapping, anything is sure to send them into a panic. As brave and bold as the Five Beasts are, they are still very much Cookies. So many eons of being trapped in such a confined space was suffocating.

It can be gradual or sudden, but you're always needed to calm them down. You have to ground them to the best of your abilities, reassuring them that they'll never go back to those prisons.

You do your best to help ease them into normal eating habits. They need to eat a lot considering their sizes, but they also need to be eased into it. Burning Spice Cookie nearly made themselves sick from eating so much at once.

Whenever you're in danger, or they feel cornered, the Beasts' powers most definitely act up. The first instinct of the magic is to keep you safe and to attack whatever is threatening them. Doesn't matter what it is, it needs to be dealt with.

You'll have your work cut out trying to help them, but you'll try your best.

[greyskyflowers]

I really like the idea that Ichigo has always done some strange stuff, even before any of them had any idea about soul society.

Chad, Orihime, and Uryu (as well as Tatsuki, Keigo and Mizuiro) very much take the approach of don't say a fucking thing, leave him alone to anyone who looks like they may say something about it.

Ichigo makes a strange noise? They've figured out which noises are good ones and which ones are bad ones.

He's a little colder, distant, and sometimes a little cruel? Give him a little bit and he'll be fine again.

He gets a little too bright eyed during fights? Licks blood off his lips and sometimes off a wound? His nails look a little sharp and his teeth a little meaner? All good. He'll beat the shit out of someone, pace around a bit and be fine again.

Eats an unbelievable amount of food and still stays on the lean side of skinny? It's a metabolism thing.

Runs a little colder? He's great to sit by in the hot summer!

Gets a little distracted, looks at things and listen to noises that aren't there? That's normal, he's been able to see weird stuff his whole life!

Even after they all gain the ability see ghosts and that's obviously not what Ichigo is doing, they just tell people he's listening to and seeing ghosts.

Everyone else is a little confused by that but it's clear they're not going to get a real answer and tbh they're not sure they want one.

It's also important that they don't call too much attention to it. Ichigo doesn't seem to realize he does some of those things.

Like when someone pointed out the blood thing and he spent 20 minutes gagging and throwing up, tongue still stained rusty from the blood.

Or when someone mentioned the noises and he doesn't speak for days, quiet and withdrawn. And even now he cuts the noises off, biting them back and swallowing them down.

Or when people called him cruel, a thug, someone who wants to see others hurt, because he got into fight. He didn't fight back the next few times he got jumped, letting the hits land and taking it because the fear that he was all those things people said was stronger than any pain.

All the times he kept his mouth shut because someone joked about wolf teeth.

Or when he ripped his nails down until they bled so they weren't sharp enough to hurt anyone on accident.

Or when he kept his eyes down so no one could say he wore colored contacts to go with his "dyed" hair.

Orihime being so upset after the cookies she had given to someone, who made fun of a noise Ichigo made, had ended up bad! Oh no, oh gosh, how terrible that they got food poisoning! She's so sorry about that but there's a gleam to her eyes that has everyone backing off.

Chad disappearing and coming back with busted knuckles that go unnoticed, Ichigo focused on keeping his fingers curled into his palms and his mouth firmly shut.

Uryu ripping into some of the people who started rumors about Ichigo, channeling every cold and cruel part of him until several people are crying and no one dares say Ichigo's name for awhile.

Tatsuki throwing punches and Keigo attempting too, Mizuiro making things happen that no one can directly link back to him but everyone knows it's him.

Ichigo doesn't ask for a lot, but he gives a lot. Too much.

So, they can give him this. They will give him this. Let him do his odd, little quirks and they'll deal with anyone who tries to say anything.

💀

Shinigami are strange, strange enough that Ichigo blends in with them well, even though he's still sometimes a little strange for a shinigami.

Chad, Orihime, and Uryu are pleased that Ichigo fits in so well with all these new people, especially as they get to know them more.

Renji and Ikkaku are animalistic with too sharp teeth and a wild air to them.

Kenpachi is a monster wearing human skin.

Rukia, and her brother, have moments of cruelty and distance.

Unohana is something old and dangerous.

Kisuke is... unsettling, raises the hair on the back of their necks a little bit but Ichigo likes him. And as unnerving as he is, he's been very helpful.

Yoruichi has a mean streak in her that is very much like a cat batting around a dying mouse.

The visored are even worse.

The humans don't meet them until Ichigo after has already firmly included them in his ever growing group of important people.

The visored are unsettling in a way similar to Kisuke, but heavier. Something about them makes the little animal part of their brains sit up and take notice, the hairs on the backs of their necks standing up and they have to fight the urge to run.

But the visored are strange in the same way Ichigo is strange.

And they'll gives some bonus points to Kisuke and his, because they've never so much as batted an eyelash at Ichigo's more bizarre quirks.

The visored show off too sharp teeth in proud smiles and angry snarls.

They make odd noises between themselves and understand them.

They force people to look them in the eyes, black and gold occasionally making an appearance.

They lick at their wounds absent-mindedly and on purpose.

They make no apologies for who they are or how uncomfortable they make anyone.

More than anything though, they let Ichigo do those things. There a fondness to all of them when Ichigo does something strange front of them. Something that's normal to them.

💀

Ichigo doesn't seem to realize that everyone is actually charmed by his little quirks.

He's saved most of them enough times that there isn't much he could do that would make them anything less then incredibly fond.

It's fun and interesting to see all the things Ichigo does when he's happy and comfortable.

He does a little head tilt, exposed throat move to certain people. The humans don't even think he notices it, it took them awhile to notice it.

He does it to most of the captains, excluding a few like Mayuri and Soi Fon. Particularly to Unohana, Kenpachi, Byakuya and Toshiro for the captains. He does it to Kisuke and the visored.

They notice it and they just roll with it. Kisuke and Shinji (and most of the visored to be completely honest) touch his neck and shoulders a lot.

Unohana makes the smallest nod to him and never acknowledges it again.

It took Ichigo a long time to be comfortable enough with them to touch as much as he wants to. After they saved Rukia and returned home, he was constantly touching them. Grabbing at hands, throwing arms around them, sitting close enough to touch, etc. He even includes Tatsuki, Keigo and Mizuiro in the new, open affection.

He's comfortable enough to be that way with a lot of people now.

Shinigami, and the visored, are actually a pretty tactile and intimate bunch. Living as long as they do and having such dangerous and traumatic lives, makes touch and comfort very important.

So it's not uncommon for Ichigo to disappear, finding someone to nap with or someone finding him. People are already drawn to Ichigo, getting to know him and all his quirks just makes them love him more.

Buck grabs one chocolate chip cookie and hesitates before snatching up 3 more to add to the growing pile of food on his plate. He ignores Tommy’s raised eyebrows as he loads up on junk food from the appetizer and dessert buffet laid out on Bobby and Athena’s new dining room table. 

“What?” he asks with a frown.

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen you eat a cookie,” Tommy comments.

“Well if I’m going to have to sit through this I want carbs,” Buck pouts.

Tommy sighs, and Buck knows he’s been whining about this party for the last two weeks, but damn it, he’s still annoyed that Bobby and Athena’s Housewarming party is coinciding with the premier of season 3 of Hotshots.  

“We agreed to come and support Bobby,” Tommy says reasonably.

“But he doesn’t even work on the show anymore,” Buck points out. “He’s back where he belongs at the 118. I just want to put the past 4 months behind us and focus on the future.”

Tommy takes his plate away and sets it on a clear spot on the table so he can take Buck’s hands in his, thumbs rubbing soothingly over Buck’s knuckles. 

“Baby, it’s one night that we get to spend with your family…”

“Your’s too,” Buck interrupts.

Tommy’s nose scrunches as he continues without acknowledging the interruption, “and it means a lot to them to have you here.  It’s just a show and those are just actors playing characters. Yes, there are some similarities to your experiences but those characters have grown and changed in different ways from you. Everyone knows it’s all make believe and they’re not going to judge you based on a tv show.”

It’s Buck’s turn to sigh, knowing he’s being ridiculous when everyone else seems to be okay with their lives being used as plot fodder for Taylor’s show. Heck, last week Bobby gave the actor who plays him a tour of the firehouse and allowed him to come for a ride along. 

“Okay.  I will eat my carbs and try to keep my opinions to myself.” Buck grudgingly agrees.

“It might not be that bad,” Tommy says. “It’s a good show.”

“I’ll believe that when I see it,” Buck scoffs. 

Tommy lets him go so he can grab his plate and pile a few more lemon bars on top of the mountain of junk before they join the rest of the crew in Bobby and Athena’s new living room.

————

As the trailer for the next episode plays the room is quiet, everyone’s eyes darting to and away from Buck and Tommy where they have claimed a corner of the couch, no one wanting to be the first to break the silence. 

It’s Bobby who breaks the stalemate, rising from his seat. “I”m going to start cleaning up, if anyone wants to pitch in.” 

He escapes to the kitchen and is quickly followed by Athena, Chim, Maddie, Karen, Hen, and Eddie, leaving Buck and Tommy alone, the noise from the next show (something ridiculous set on a cruise ship) barely covering the noise of everyone talking at once in the next room. 

Buck turns to Tommy, a knowing smirk on his face. “So how does it feel to have an actor playing you on tv?”

Tommy is still staring straight ahead, a stunned expression on his face. “How, why, that’s not how it happened. There’s no way Johnny is based on me.”

Buck just chortles. “Sure, there’s no way the hotshot helicopter pilot who flew into a lightning storm to rescue Cap and Artemis from the top of a mountain that was on fire is you. The pilot who was roped into helping by Shaft and Bea, his old colleagues, and who took Sandy and Ricky along too.” 

“Where are they getting their information?” Tommy asks, eyes darting around the room looking for hidden cameras.

“They didn’t get everything right,” Buck says, shit eating grin firmly in place. “It took you a lot longer to kiss me than it took Johnny to plant one on Sandy.” 

Tommy turns to Buck then, deadpan as always. “Well Sandy was a lot more obvious about his interest than you were.”

Buck squawks and hits him gently on the shoulder. “Hey, bisexual revelations take time.”  He snuggles down next Tommy, linking their hands together. “But really, are you okay?” He tilts his head back to look up at Tommy.

Tommy lets out a slow breath. “Yeah, I’ll be okay.  I’m starting to see why you were weirded out by the whole thing.”

They sit quietly for a while, the sounds of laughter and conversation from the kitchen washing over them. Buck squeezes Tommy’s hand. 

“So, what do you think their ship name will be? I’m thinking Jandy, but maybe they’ll go with Sohny. Oh, or Jolaine could be cool.” 

Tommy snorts and shakes his head. “It’s lucky you’re adorable,” he says, before leaning down for a kiss.

Project ARC remake 14

Ozpin: So, how was his first day?

Glynda: *sigh* He didn't want to hurt his adversary and dodged for the entire fight. His aura control is perfect but...

Ozpin: *sigh* No sign of his aura coming back?

Glynda: ... His physical wounds are healing. For now, that's what matters most...

Qrow: *sitting next to her* Amber is still recovering at the hospital, once she wakes up, we will finally know who attacked them. Maybe that could give us a clue on how to fix- i mean, how to heal him?

Glynda: *sigh* i hope so... *Looking at her scroll* Beside that, he seems to be adjusting correctly to his team. *Looking back at Ozpin* Him being partnered up with Mss Schnee wasn't just a hazard, was it?

Ozpin: In all honesty? It was. I know how the SDC and the Project ARC are both linked, but believe me when i said giving him more visibility wasn't my intention. I personally would prefer if James didn't know about Jaune. At least, not until the festival.

Qrow : I have to say, giving him Arc as his last name wasn't really the best idea to hide him from Atlas.

Glynda: *sigh* He only accepted this one... And mine, though that would have been an even worse giveaway... *Small smile* I'm just happy he thought of our real name first.

Qrow: It does mean that deep down, he's still your brother.

________

Nora: *looking at Jaune from afar* Hey Ru, don't you think Jaune looks a lot like Professor Goodwitch?

Ruby: *eating cookies* Mh?

Nora: Like, beside the hair color, they kinda have the same... I guess aura? And the way she acted with him-

Yang: What, you think they are secretly siblings? Why would they hide it?

Blake: *looking up from her book* ... Maybe it's not a choice? Or maybe we are reading in too deep? Besides, it's not really what's the weirdest about him.

Yang: Oh oh~ already sizing him up are ya?

Blake: *slightly Blushing* Not in that sense! I meant his Aura. And not only that, but the way he speaks.

Ruby: *gulping down the cookies* Ah~. Couldn't that just be him being a bit... Uh... *Look at Nora*

Nora: ... What?

Ruby: N-nothing!

Nora: You meant autistic?

Ruby: D-didn't want to assume!

Nora: *shrug* It's fine, but i don't have it. Or at least, i never got a diagnostic. *Point to Ren* He does.

Yang: But the way you act-

Nora: I've been living in the street for as long as i can remember. Social norm aren't really something i could learn.

Yang: Oh shit, i'm so sorry, i-

Nora: *shrug* Eh, not the first gal to make that mistake. And certainly not the last.

Ruby: S-so, what do you think for Jaune?

Nora: I don't think it's that.

Blake: Really?

Nora: He still understands most social queues and even apologized for his actions during the match. I don't really want to assume anything, but... It's more like he is broken.

Yang: What? Like mind break like in the book Blake's reading?

Blake: Hey!

Nora: No, more like... A part of him is missing? He did say he lost his memory, so it might be that.

Ruby: *sigh* i hope he gets better...

___________

Jaune: *looking at the dino nuggies in his plate* ... What are those?

Pyrrha: *awkwardly laughing* I uh... Didn't know what you'd like so i just took the first thing that grabbed my attention. Eh eh...

Jaune: ... (Glynda did tell me i should eat even though i do not require it. Something about fitting in and being able to use the energy to better heal). *Look at the t-rex looking one* I guess i can try them.

Ren: *drinking tea with Weiss* If you want, i could try making some food i learned to make during my travel?

Jaune: That would be nice.

Weiss: *looking at Ren* Do you perhaps know how to bake cakes?

Ren: I sadly only learned to make outdoor cuisine, but i'm more than willing to try.

[queercoshon]

So I realise that I'll be very late with the actual Christmas part of the story... but Christmas isn't really the point of it all. It's just another excuse for debauchery, which I hope people are happy to read any time of the year;P

Anyways, without further ado, here is Christmas Eve Day.

Christmas Eve Day

The morning light coming through the curtains was blinding, shining right on your drool-covered chin. You blearily blink your eyes, and heavily raise your head from resting on your plush chest. You don't know how long it's been since you passed out, but certainly not long enough to sober up. You still feel more than tipsy. Your plan is going perfectly.

You rock back and forth to build up enough momentum to haul your ass off the couch, and it takes a few more rocks than usual. Maybe because you're still drunk, or because your gut is still bloated. Once up, your gravid belly pulls you forward, almost making you fall. You stumble to catch yourself, then waddle off to clean up a little before breakfast.

You throw a few of the beers back in the fridge and grab 2 premade bottles of mimosa. You grab a warm beer and gear up to chug it, as soon as your sausage fingers finish placing the order. Finally you choose everything you want and submit the order. 25 minutes.

You drain half the beer and wince at the temperature, before all the blood rushes to your crotch and you get lost in chugging it down. You woke up drunk, ordered enough breakfast for four people after gorging like a hog, and you're currently chugging another beer to see if you can be incoherent before 2pm.

Once it's done you belch emphatically, and haphazardly clean your bong. Just enough to get another big sesh out of it.

Soon it's lit up and your eyes are rolling back after more than a few hits. The smoke tickles your throat, so you pop a mimosa bottle and chug straight from the neck. You're still bloated from last night, and you can feel the carbonation compounding on that. You press your gut down onto your crotch and keep letting air out.

When the food is still ten minutes away, the munchies hit you like a truck. A bag of cookies is in arm's reach, and 10 of them end up in your stomach before the food gets delivered.

Getting up, getting the food, and coming back is an adventure in itself. Your feet won't quite listen to where you want them to go, and you bounce off the walls a few times. The couch corner takes you by surprise, but you save the food and stick the landing! A victory swig is taken and you get to work.

Denny's is your vice this morning. You've ordered two grand slams, caramel banana pancakes, and a burger, for when it gets close to lunch.

You throw on some shitty sitcom, take another hit for a good measure, and dig in.

Your lingering high from yesterday means you are soaring now. Every other joke is making you giggle, and you just feel so floaty.

You love their pancakes. Massive, sweet and sticky, everything a growing pig could want. Those go down quickly, unable to get enough of the caramel coating your mouth.

The hashbrowns aren't your favourite, but they're offenseless in taste and easy to shovel in. There's a right mound of them, coming from two slams.

A grand slam is fun because there's enough different flavours to keep your palette busy, and you don't need to think about changing up your food items. The ham, sausage links, and bacon all pair perfectly with the leftover syrup from your pancakes. The toast you leave as is. Eggs aren't great cold, so you eat those as quick as possible. And of course, there are the hashbrowns.

You've finished all the eggs, most of the bacon, and half the toast and hashbrowns when your mimosa bottle runs dry. Now there's the debate of opening the second bottle, or popping another room temperature beer. Mimosas have a fun vibe, and you're certainly feeling fun, so orangey champagne it is. It takes you a few tries to grab the bottle, your arm once again controlled by a shoddy puppet string, but you successfully grab the neck on the third try. After you wrangle the top open you drink deeply.

You only get a few more bites into your food before the hiccups start. They jolt your body, making your fat bounce and ripple. Each jolt shakes out more air and makes your head bounce. Your body feels so fuzzy and warm, but hiccups keep sending electricity over your skin.

Eating with hiccups is hard, so you take a break to get them under control. You hold your breath, absentmindedly kneading your gut. More than once a burp comes up, making you inhale after, sends a cramp through your stuffed belly, and then another hiccup shakes everything up again. Your body is completely inundated by hedonism.

Once those damn hiccups clear up, you light up again and celebrate being in control of your lungs again. You take extra hits to make up for lack of lung capacity, but you definitely overestimate. You start back on your breakfast, but after five minutes your brain is just completely gone. Your head falls back and soft moans fall from your mouth. You barely register how itchy your skin is, trying to stretch around your abused middle. Everything is just so heavy. Your eyes, your lips, your belly hanging between your heavy thighs.

You don't know how long you lay like this, eyes glazed staring blankly at the tv, gut gurgling angrily, and moaning without realising as heat spreads throughout your body. But you do come back to your body eventually, and once you can, you get right back to gorging. You want to finish everything with enough time to have a food coma nap before you order Christmas Eve dinner.

Another bite. Another swallow. Another swig. You have no control over your body anymore, some other force is compelling you to consume.

Pancakes, two grand slams, and one and a half bottles of mimosa sit in your engorged middle, and you can feel your gut creaking with every breath now. Through the haze the ache is starting to come through. But the haze still brings terrible munchies, and the booze brings bad decisions, so you start on the burger.

Your jaw is starting to hurt. A quarter of the way through the burger your body struggles to swallow every mouthful. You take a break every few minutes to sit there and pant like a dog, and massage out the ache and burps. There is no give to your stomach under the caress of your sausage fingers anymore, even with the inches of fat covering your belly.

Finally, after half an hour, you make it through the burger. You're a cacophony of hedonism, panting, moaning, and burping, your gut churning and glorping trying to process all of that food and booze. You hold your middle as if you might explode from jostling it too much. You actually might; you've completely overdone it. And you aren't even done digesting last night's meal. Your gut sits swollen on your lap, completely engorged and too packed for you to think about getting up.

You have no idea if you're conscious throughout the afternoon. You spend it staring dumbly at the tv, unable to remember how to change the channel, rubbing your belly to both ease it and rile you up, and semi-passing out, becoming a semi-coherant blob.

After digesting a little you try to walk to the bathroom, but the absurd amount of alcohol in your gut has you losing balance, so you waddle unevenly down the hall, bouncing from side to side. It takes so long for you to make the trek, but you manage. Then, it's time to head to the kitchen to pop the lasagne in the oven.

Standing in one spot is hard, everything is swaying. Is it you that's swaying? Something is swaying, which also makes it hard to read the temperature and timer on the stove. That's probably 35 minutes... you even remember to set the stove's auto off for 50 minutes, just in case. Look at you, being so responsible. You take a few big swigs of baileys to celebrate.

You're such a fatass, still drinking empty calories, on top of more calories than a person would eat in a week. Your gut is still stuffed from breakfast/lunch, but you're salivating over a meal meant to feed eight. In fact, you're actively trying to indulge in all of it, stimulating your appetite and libido with weed and booze.

The bong really needs to be cleaned, but you don't think you can successfully waddle your way to the living room and back and get it here in one piece. So tonight will be about prerolls.

The kitchen chair creaks ominously as you plunk your ass down, cheeks and thighs spilling over the sides. You're too trashed to realise it, but your gut hangs below the seat for the first time.

The next thirty-five minutes are spent preparing for your dinner. A swig or two of beer, maybe another big gulp of baileys, and a puff of a joint. Tender belly rubs, clumsy tracing of stretchmarks with your unsteady fingers. Taking in the marvel that is your expanse, and thinking about how much fatter you're about to be.

By the time the stove goes off, you're barely aware of anything. The only thing you feel is hunger.

Time for dinner.

mp100 horror fic recs 👻🎃

For a while now I've been thinking about mp100's amazing horror potential and how it really doesn't get enough attention. SO! For the spooky season why don't you settle down with a nice scary story ;D

All of these fics are complete and have no shipping. I've only linked 1 fic per author so this list doesn't get bloated, but all of these wonderful authors have other fics just waiting for you to read them ❤ Some definitely freaked me out more than others, but I'm not gonna give any particular ratings since "scary" is so subjective. All fics are properly tagged and you know your own limits better than I do.

Also feel free to add on your own recs!! My general reading preferences and parameters when making this list is only a small sampling, so please share any and all of your favs ❤ Hope you enjoy!

If you see an "N/A" instead of a Tumblr UN that means there wasn't one linked in either the fics' notes or author's bio. If you know the author or are the author yourself feel free to let me know so I can edit the post :] And now in no particular order I present:

The Immeasurable Dark: @tinkertoysdamn Immediately breaking my own "no ships" rule just this once because I can't resist a good House of Leaves inspired story! If you've read HoL is you know what's up. If not expect a fucked-up house and impossibly large spaces, funky text formatting and footnotes, maybe a minotaur. Ship featured is background established serirei.

a pilgrimage: @tooomuchtofu Divine Tree arc bad ending. Told from the PoV of an unnamed worshiper on their first visit to "the capital" aka an overgrown Seasoning City. Uses second person pov wonderfully to build the dread.

And Who Is Killing Me?: @sammisafetypin Koyama beats the shit outta Mob a little harder than in canon, hospitalizing him and delaying the 7th Division rescue arc by [TIME NOT FOUND]. The Awakening Lab kids are so minor I tend to forget they even exist, but oh my god does this author make you care about them! This fic is written with great suddenly swapping PoVs that keep you feeling off kilter without making you lose track of the story. It's the longest fic on this list by far but 100% worth every second of it. A real gut punch.

Adoration: (N/A) The Divine Tree takes a particular interest in Reigen. I don't think I've ever seen anyone properly touch on how creepy the Psycho Helm constructs themselves are like this fic has. God, those things freak me out so much. Features "shipping" in the sense of a sentient broccoli becoming fixated on a guy. Keep in mind that the Psycho Helms look like Mob if you think that'll squick you out, but for me personally it added to the horror.

Similarities: (N/A) Reigen receives a fucked up email. Ends on the sillier side, but BOY is that email fucked up!

The Water Ran Clean: @bandtrees A Mogami-mentors-Mob AU and a damn fine one at that. Love the sort of fragmented style it's written in, and the exploration of Mogami's fucked up moral code is great. There's some Choice viscerally described imagery here 👌👌 Features a drawing of Mob covered in blood just in case that freaks you out; but worry, it's not his :]

An Outlier Among a Sea of Common Denominators: @hebezunet A rewrite of the early Divine Tree arc that asks the question we've all been too scared to consider: What if the brainwashing was like cordyceps? In particular I want to highlight the opening scene where after eating the broccoli powder cookies Teru has to physically rip florets out of his body to resist being brainwashed. Very gnarly stuff.

Prison Surveillance: (N/A) Touichirou was a very bad boss so Hatori pulls a The Ring to torment him in Psychic Supermax Prison. Was written pre-season 3 so Hatori doesn't work for the government.

Stairs: (N/A) Reigen and Mob have a job in the woods. There are some stairs. Inspired by an r/nosleep story which the author links to if you'd like to check that out as well.

Fight, Flight, or Fraud: @cowardlybean So everyone's got a really specific supernatural fear, right? Something that could absolutely never happen in real life but when you see it in media it freaks you the fuck out? Mine is someone I know being killed and replaced by an evil doppelganger and I'm the only one who knows. I've not seen anything since The Magnus Archives that's properly captured that fear like this fic, which is some of the highest praise I can bestow.

In Quicksand: @ghoststrawberries Reigen catches a nasty cold and by that I mean he gets possessed. Very fun the way Reigen's train of thought and feeling shifts around as the evil spirit tries to influence him while he's unconsciously resisting it. The scene where the gang realizes Reigen's been possessed is a real "OOOOOH, SHIT!!!" moment, but I won't spoil ;D

Playing Human: (N/A) Espers and psychic powers might not be real but spirits are. Poor baby Mob is a ghost possessing his own dead body. Features Dimple as the bad guy.

Mithridatism: If I may be so self-indulgent to list one of my own fics here :3 Absorbing evil spirits while still alive was actively killing Mogami and I wanted to dig into that! Features my Signature™ (lol) "HEY, DON'T EAT THAT!!" style of body horror.

La Festa Alla Cinque Cibi!

[ID: My little cafe table near the kitchen, with dinner laid out on it: a plate with fried artichoke, cuts of slow-cooked beef stracotto, and two potato dumplings, with another holding a slice of pie and some cookies nearby. As a finishing touch, I included a bottle of Coke Zero, in homage to my being unable to get any Diet Coke while I was in Rome. The decks of cards in the upper left are the tarot and oracle cards I'm using for New Year's fortunetelling in a bit.]

The Festa Alla Cinque Cibi was a success! Everything came out at least close to what it ought to be and all was delicious. Plus I had forgotten I wanted to make a sauce for dipping the fried artichoke leaves into, but the sauce that the beef cooked in came out so flavorful and nice that I just poured out a little bowl of it and used that for dipping.

[ID: A closeup of the dinner plate, showing a gold-red tomato pesto sauce, the chunks of slow-cooked beef, the fried burik dumplings, and the mahogany leaves of the fried artichoke.]

It is a somewhat monochromatic meal. I probably should have included some kind of non-fried plant or something.

The artichoke was a bit spiky but those buttery inner leaves were perfect. The beef almost didn't come out -- I thought I'd ruined it by browning it too much and making it tough, but then in the last half hour I bumped the temperature on the slow-cooker and the collagen almost immediately began to melt, turning it much more fork-tender and velvety. I'm very much looking forward to leftovers on sandwiches. The burik reheated well, but are also pretty good cold.

And the ricotta cheesecake DID set!

[ID: A close-up of the ricotta cheesecake, with rich deep red cherry jam on the bottom and an airy-textured cheesecake filling under a thick upper crust; a few light tan amaretti cookies are visible on the right.]

The crust was a bit thick but not at all dry. The ricotta filling was very plain, but I prefer a less-sweet pie and the cherry preserve on the bottom added all the flavor needed, really. The amaretti kept pretty well, and tasted nice with the Coke Zero.

The artichoke is a bit of a showpiece, I don't think it's something I'd cook very often, though everything else was varying levels of "yeah I could eat this on the reg". The burik are really delicious and the stracotto is pretty low-maintenance. I liked this version of the cheesecake but I'm not sure if its simplicity would appeal to a lot of people. The amaretti are great, and both simple to make and gluten-free.

All the process photos and recipes are linked in the "festa alla cinque cibi" tag, but I'm definitely going to have to copy a few over into my regular cookbook.

I will admit that by the time I sat down with it all I was pretty tired, so I just kind of inhaled it all and left a wreckage behind. But the leftovers are cooling off before being put in the fridge, and frankly the dishes are 2024 Sam's problem.

warnings: none, pure fluff :) a bit angst??

The rain got us by surprise. It was supposed to be an afternoon walk on the street, to enjoy the beginning of spring. 

We walked near the lake eating ice cream, stopped by the bakery shop to eat red velvet cookies and a strawberry pie. Both of us are weak for any sweet.

The days have been sunny and fresh, no warning of a storm breaking in.

“Should we risk running to your home?” He said while we were trying to hide from the rain in an awning from a shop by the street. 

“We will arrive there soaked.” I said laughing. “But we can try.” He only gave me a sly smirk, like that’s exactly the answer he wanted. The golden eyes shining like the sunset surrounding us.

With a fast move, he grabbed my hand and we started running through the streets. We were not far from my apartment, actually, arriving there was pretty quick, but not fast enough for our shoes don’t soak our feet in their own private pool.

My thoughts were interrupted by the soft brush his scarred hand gave mine. Hands surprisingly so soft and kind. I realized we’re already on my floor, standing in front of my door.  “Well… safely delivered. Perhaps a bit wet, but I think nothing is out of place.” Our laughs echoed in the empty hall.

I look up, meeting his eyes. Warm and expressive, the opposite of his inexpressive facial features that would not tell a thing. And I get lost in memorizing every piece of his beautiful face, like I’m scared of never seeing it again.

I didn’t realize we were so up close, our breaths matching, it must be pure muscle memory. Nozes almost touching, his hand smoothly reaching for my neck. I closed my eyes, just waiting for what’s coming next. So desperately hopeful, when it happens. His lips touch mine like they’re still shy and careful, then gaining confidence and deepening it.

His other hand found a place in my waist, pulling me more against his body. Hot besides the situation that we’ve been in. I link my arms around his broad shoulders, our lips dancing on their own, like this kiss is our savior.

“What if… you stay here tonight?” I asked unsure when we pushed apart from each other slightly, breathless. Scared of what his answer would be. 

He looked at me, searching for any regret. And found none.

“Yes, it sounds like a really good idea. It will be a long night, though.” And there was that smirk again. Enough to make both my legs weak with so little. I gave a smile of my own, and our lips were meeting again.

I don’t remember when we entered the apartment, nor the moment we got in my room. The moment we got our clothes off and linked ourselves in the bed, even less.

All I remember is looking at his beautiful face once more. Running my fingers through his dark locks. Tracing his pointed nose, full and soft lips, round ears and sharp jawline that needed to be shaved.

All I remember is resting my head in his chest, listening to his calm heartbeat and steady breath. Only my white sheet covering our naked bodies from the moonlight creeping through the window on our left side.

All I remember is feeling my chest burn to say all the feelings that I’ve been repressing to myself. To not disturb our peaceful bubble.

*

All I remember is waking up breathless. Soaked in my sweat. With the other side of the bed empty and cold. Because he has never been here.

The dream tonight was vivid as always. I started to get used to it. We all do when you have to deal with it for years.

Once I steady my breath, I walked to the bathroom to splash water on my face. Hoping that will wake me up a bit more.

“Morning!” Bryce said once I got in the living room.

“Morning.” I replied, going straight to the kitchen. I need coffee so bad.

“You look like shit.” “Thank you, Bryce! That’s exactly what I needed to hear.” My fake smile hides in the mug while I sip, letting the caffeine get in my veins.

“It’s those dreams again?” No answer from me was enough. “You’re getting consumed by it. Searching for help would not be a bad idea.”

“I’m not going to talk about vivid dreams with an amazing male that doesn't exist with my therapist.” The redhead rolled her eyes.

“I’m not saying to seek help from your therapist. Your grandmother was a Seer, right? Maybe this is some kind of other expression of power.”

“But a Seer is supposed to see the future, Bryce. A power that extends to seeing the future of everyone. But I only dream with him. I don’t know who he is, I don't know his name or what he sounds like. All I know is that he appeared once in my dreams, with such a warm presence. And never left.” I felt a tear roll in my cheek, I didn’t even realize I was getting emotional. Pathetic.

“Maybe the dreams are a sign of someone you’ll have to help in the future.” Her soft thumb brushed my single tear.

“Maybe…” I agreed.

“Or perhaps, you’re having visions of your mate.”

Ravio couldn’t help it, even after all this time; he heard the pantry open and his ears perked up, instantly alert. He ran through his mental list of reassurances before he panicked over such a little thing.

Link is home. The house is secure. Sheerow would warn me if there was a thief. It’s not mealtime yet. Link must be hungry for a snack. We have enough that he can eat and we will have food later.

That made him feel better, enough that he was calm as he stood from his desk. Ravio wasn’t hungry, he never was before dinner, but he liked to see what Link had grabbed from their stores. It was an anxious habit, one that was older than his practice with keeping inventory of his shop, and Link understood by now. When Ravio came up beside him, Link simply held out a handful of cookies for Ravio to see.

“How many is that?” Ravio asked, and counted them. There were three cookies, and he tried not to let the worry show on his face. “Three- there were three left, right?”

“Yeah, I’m finishing them,” Link said. He opened the jar, angling it so Ravio could see that there were only crumbs inside. “Did you want one?” He offered one, but Ravio shook his head.

“No, I just-” Ravio wrung his hands, knowing how stupid he would sound. “We won’t have any left.”

“They’re going to be stale soon,” Link pointed out. “We can always make more.”

“What if we don’t have the ingredients? Or the time?”

“Then we can buy some from the bakery.”

“If we’re low on rupees?”

“Ravi, when are we ever low on rupees?” Link was starting to frown at him, and Ravio hastily backed up.

“I- you know what, it’s fine, actually. Enjoy the cookies,” he said quickly, and turned on his heel.

Link knew what to expect from him, but that didn’t mean he was aware of the irrational terror that Ravio felt every time some of their food ran empty. He gave his hero reason to worry enough, and he tried to keep it that way. Link didn’t mention it again, or food at all until he asked Ravio if he wanted to visit the Milk Bar that night.

Ravio didn’t see any harm in it. He liked socializing, and odd eating habits were easier to overlook in public. The bar was busy, and the two navigated bustle and chatter to order their drinks and find a table between a pair of similarly mismatched groups. A party of Hyrulians were opposite one of Lorulians, and both conversations could easily be heard from where Ravio sat in the middle.

“It’s disgusting, really,” said a Hyrulian woman with a wave of her hand. “Our hero revives their land and how do they thank him? By gorging themselves on their newfound harvests without a care for their health or their appearance.”

“It’s a repeat of what happened with the Zora queen,” her friend agreed. “She lost her restraint, and with it, her beauty.”

“I heard that the Zora, at least, has a magical scale that keeps her size in check!” the first woman chortled. “What I wouldn’t give to get my hands on one of those!”

Ravio felt heat rush to his ears, a telltale sign of slowly rising anger. He had known for a while now that Hyrulians were a bit vain about their weight. It was the fashion to stay skinny; rounder bodies were mercilessly mocked for no real reason. Link, with his small stature and lithe, slightly muscular frame, seemed blissfully oblivious to the twittering. Ravio, on the other hand, was painfully aware of the difference in the way that he was treated compared to his fellow Lorulians.

The Hyrulian women were correct, in one regard. With the loss of the Triforce came years of famine, insecurity, hoarding… Until recently, most Lorulians had reflected the lack of reliable sustenence. Even Ravio and Hilda, living in the castle, weren’t spared the hardships of a barren land. His princess, for so long, had resembled a ghost of her possible self, gaunt and frail, and Ravio wasn’t any better. With the return of their sun, and food, most Lorulians lived much happier, healthier lives. They were proud to maintain their gained weight, a symbol that they had made it, they had survived, and they were free to eat their fill and know that there would be plenty tomorrow.

“This place still gives me a weird feeling,” a Lorulian stranger muttered from behind Ravio. “These freaks recreate our famine in an attempt to look fragile and say that we’re the ugly ones.”

“Even the few who think they can act better have the most backhanded insults masquerading as compliments,” another chimed in. “Give them a taste of their own medicine, I say. Take that twig in purple, over there. He’s so adorably brittle, I could snap his arms in two.”

Ravio’s hands- his fragile, skeletal fingers- tightened around his cup. He hated this. He hated knowing that he looked like he didn’t belong. He hated the assumption that he liked having something wrong with him.

“Link,” Ravio said quietly. “I’m going home.”

“What? But we haven’t-” Link started to protest, but Ravio had already pushed his chair back. He pulled his baggy sleeves over his hands, tugging his hood down to hide his face.

Link caught up to him before he left Kakariko, walking silently back to their house. Ravio paused just inside the front door, and Link guessed why.

“You haven’t eaten enough today, have you?” Link asked.

Ravio almost brushed it off. He knew that he hadn’t, but he wasn’t hungry- but as soon as the thought entered his head, he realized that he was. It hit him all at once and he nodded, trying not to look desperate.

“C’mon, we have plenty of cheese,” Link said, and Ravio followed him to the kitchen. Link handed him some cheese and Ravio took it, his hands shaking as he took a bite. Link brought him some bread, too, and an apple, and Ravio tried to pace himself though he felt like he might faint from hunger. He was satisfied before long and he pushed Link’s next offer away, pretending not to notice his unhappy frown. Ravio was aware that he hadn’t eaten enough for somebody who had inadvertently starved himself all day, but if he ate any more he was going to be sick.

Ravio went to lay down and Link trailed behind, sprawling on the bed beside him. Link’s hand found his and he intertwined their fingers, tracing his thumb over Ravio’s skin. Ravio tried not to squirm under the attention but Link noticed and fell still.

“Do you want to talk about it?” Link whispered.

Ravio was silent for a moment, then relented. “Why does everyone think I want to be like this? I don’t care about being skinny, and I’m not afraid of gaining weight. In fact, I want to. But I can’t. I have to convince myself that I haven’t made a grave mistake every time I eat. If I try to force myself to eat more, I’ll lose it before it does any good. I barely eat enough to get by and it’s not my choice but I don’t know how to do better. If I could adapt like the rest of Lorule and feel safe enough to eat what and when I want, I would do it in a heartbeat. I don’t have anyone who’s willing to help me- Lorulians see my very existence as proof that I hate their bodies, and Hyrulians refuse to believe that I want to change mine. I thought everything would be easier once we fixed our Triforce, but- but it’s not. It’s not for me.”

Link rolled over to face Ravio, still holding his hand. “I care. Ravio, I care so much, and I want you to know that you can talk to me about this- about anything. You grew up in a horrible situation, and it’s okay if it takes time to trust again. I want to help you stay healthy.”

“I- thank you, Link.” Ravio snuggled closer, resting his head on Link’s arm. “I wish I knew where to start. It’s not fair to ask you to help when I don’t know what needs to be done.”

“It’s okay. You don’t have to know,” Link said. “We don’t need to rush. You can take your time.”

✦ answering to this question from Byakuya anon 🌸. ✦ tw: slightly nsfw. especially the last hc. mentions of sex. nudity. taking baths together and the things I ll never have if I keep dating real men. ✦ an: pls follow the link to listen to Byakuya's VA singning the song I mention in the hcs ♡. The manga panel used for the banner is slightly altered, he isn't smiling in the original one. (sorry Kubo, I needed to) ✦ wc: 664

➜ Taking baths together. Not always they end on sex, specially when both have to attend the Gotei’s matters. But, Byakuya is so meticulous and delicate, he will take the time to treat you like the noble you are. Both will wash your hairs. His soft hands applying essential oils, both deserve -and enjoy the best-. Speaking of baths, Byakuya doesn’t seem to understand how naturally handsome and sensual he is; whenever he takes shower alone you are absolutely allowed to sit outside to chat about the day -to chat and drool at him acting so nonchalantly, letting the sunrays of a new day filter and kiss his pale skin…

➜ Trips to most exclusive destinations in the world of the living. Would you like to put on your Gigai and go relax at the beaches of Bali? Sure. Would you like to visit Paris? Of course, as long as you don’t make him eat from a boulangerie, he would be ok with it. Venice, for the carnival you say? let's go. By the way, Venice seems to be one of his favourite places; and yours too. During one of those nights, while staying at the Gritti Palace Hotel, with white sheets tumbled and the big window showing you the great canal, Byakuya would start singing “Bella Notte” while you dance… maybe naked, or maybe already dressed for a romantic dinner at the terrace.

➜ Looking at each other with prying eyes during social events/Gotei’s meetings. Dark blue sky eyes, sharp look scanning you, calling you to look at him. He is the type of man that will kill for you, that possess you but never cuts your freedom. Instead, he wins your exclusivity with a pleading stare that can melt your heart; Yes, that cold sight everybody always mention, with you is warm, is fire and love. You feel his attention need, your eyes search for his. A subtle smirk is enough to make Byakuya swallow and softly stretch his neck muscles. You may think he is trying to look more severe than normal, with more superiority, but he isn’t… he is just trying to process the way your sexy look makes his body feel. (You really believe nobody realizes, but everybody does, and they are all happy. Kuchiki Taicho needed you…) .

➜ Cooking Wakame Taiishii cookies together. He has a special cutter with the form of Wakame ambassador (and one of Chappy, whenever Rukia is around). You might know exactly how to make the dough, but, do you want him to stop telling you? Of course not. “Byakuya, love… come help me”. “Uhum” he would hum, coming from behind, stretching his arms, and placing his chin on your shoulder. “See? You should roll out the dough this… way”. The subtle weight of his body on yours, and your back arching just enough for your glutes to graze his crotch often ends up with burn cookies...

➜ Training, fighting. Nothing is sweeter, sexier, and more sensual than you and him sweating under the sun, wielding your Zanpakutos, crossing the edges of such powerful swords. A competition that leads both into being stronger, releasing the pressure of the day, putting your bodies at max… to end up tired, so tired after.

➜ And, as tired as you end up from training, both will cuddle in bed after. And I believe that, Byakuya is into a softer version of sleep play. He loves, adores, to delicately press his body against yours, to kiss your shoulder or for you to do it. Mumbling sleepy loving words with lips lingering, sloppy eyelids, the scent of your bodies lulling you to dream with paradise. And, if your bodies still respond… making love with no crazy positions, going slow, from the side, playing with your hair or you tracing little circles with your fingertip on his back. Fall asleep still inside you with a whispery “I love you”
