every day I thank god fans aren't in charge of making updates to games
#unless ofc you play tf2#but STILL like. ive seen so many bullshit rebalances for spies and snipers#and like. ik the current system is plain tiring to fight against but these people WOULD MAKE IT WORSE#i just saw a post about fallout 4 changes#and some of them are obvious. like changing danses dialogue after blind betrayal etc#but like. NO. some of these.....#WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO REPAIR NICKS FACE?#1 thats his charm. hes old and broken down. 2 it would NOT help his identity issues#like this is the face and hes made it his own. hes no longer an institute synth AND he's no longer the pre-war human detective valentine#also romancing him....eh. i admit i would also love to romance him#but to quote one of the disco elysium creators: the thing about desires is that theyre much stronger when theyre not fully satiated#thered for sure be still nick simpers ofc. as am i. but imo i think thered be less#and again coming back to tf2. i saw recently a post on reddit that made a concept sapper for spy to use on medics#and like please 😭😭😭you want to sap the medigun? you want to sap übercharge? you want to hurt medics EVEN MORE?#playing med well is hard enough as is normal girl. there was a comment down below saying that the spy should have sappers for each class#and WHAT. STOP. the spy ALREADY has a way to hurt all classes!#if he gets close enough he either dies immediately or backstabs! why do you want to sap too!#and spy is already SPECIFICALLY a counter to engie! and gets countered by pyro! its a good balance imo#ofc theres some tweaks to be made for each class but CMON. thatd be a HUGE rework for spy#and some other comment said that a sapped medigun should hurt teammates. FRIENDLY FIRE IS EXPLICITLY NOT A THING!!!#we should bully spy mains more btw#okay. bitching over. sorry#i have more to say but ughhhhhhhh#thatd be pretty much just repeating what i already said basically#mine#rant

a/n: only reason its hcs is bc I didnt know what else to do
a/n 2: also the only reason this isnt posted on tuesday is bc I want to help a girl out fr
~
♡︎ matt always wants to be touching you, whether that be hand holding, knee toughing, a gentle hand on a thigh—he doesnt care how, he just wants to touch you.
♡︎ when matt cant touch you, he either throws a fit, or very clearly makes it known that hes not happy.
“dont fucking touch me.” he snaps at nick, shaking his shoulder to move nicks hand off him, you, nick and chris stare wide-eyed, before chris looks at you, deadpanning, “why arent you letting him touch you?” chris rolls his eyes, clearly annoyed with his brothers antics, before he realizes how dirty his sentence could be. “hold on thats not what I meant.”
♡︎ as much as he claims he hates PDA, he always acts all lovey dovey with you, his hands on your waist, in your hair or sitting beside you with his hand on your thigh—he wont go as far as having you sit on his lap though.
♡︎ once you guys are home though, you best believe he has you in his room, ready to cuddle, or sat on the couch waiting for you to lay in his arms.
“yay! we’re home!” he grins, before stopping and looking you in the eyes, “can we go upstairs and cuddle now, please?”
♡︎ matt absolutely adores cuddling, claiming its his favorite thing ever, wrapping his arms around your torso and shoving his face in the crook of your neck, breathing in your scent as a content sigh slips from his lips.
♡︎ when he’s in a bad mood, or didnt have a good day, he’ll insist you lay on the bed so he can lay ontop of you, his face in your neck and arms around your torso, claiming he’ll feel much better after.
♡︎ he doesnt care which position you guys are laying in, he always finds a way to stick his face in the crook of your neck or just in your neck, its his favorite spot, remindig you everytime you guys cuddle.
“I love your neck.” he mumbles, closing his eyes with trying to let sleep take over.
“I know matt, you said that last time, and every other time.” you giggle, rubbing his back comfortingly.
♡︎ matt absolutely insists on going home after a long day and just cuddling for the rest of the day, claiming he’s too burnt out to get up.
“‘m sorry pretty, I’d get up if I wasnt so exhausted.” he murmurs into your neck, his eyes drooping closed as he drifts off to sleep.

as you laid sideways on the sofa, you heard your boyfriend matt pad into the room, plopping himself down on the floor in front of you. you smiled tiredly at him, work absolutely draining you today. you were currently five months pregnant with twin girls, your first babies. you and matt weren’t necessarily trying, but when you came home to him with three pregnancy tests announcing your period was late, you two were over the moon. since then matt has been an absolute sweetheart to you. he constantly was checking up on you, making sure you were getting enough rest and water, always offering to help in anyway he can. he was so excited to be a dad. every time you two went out together, you’d somehow end up at target browsing through the baby aisle, finding more things to buy for your daughters. he would come home from work with bags filled to the brim full of little dresses, shoes, bows, anything he could find for his babies.
“hi my little loves,” matt spoke gently to your bump, rubbing his hand back and forth across it, “how was your day with mommy?”
“matt, they can’t answer you.” you giggled, reaching your hand down to caress your stomach as well. being a mere four months away from giving birth, your baby bump was really beginning to show. at first you felt super insecure about it, but all it took was one night of matt in between your legs, his hands roaming all over your stomach whispering soft praises into your skin for you to feel better.
he laughed, leaning forward to press a kiss to your belly. “i know, i just love talking to my three girls.”
you smiled, closing your eyes and relaxing from the long day as matt began to talk more.
“today i went out with your uncle chris and uncle nick,” matt continued, returning his attention to the twins again, “they made me stop at three different gas stations because they didn’t have the nerd gummy cluster flavor uncle chris wanted.”
“that sounds like chris.” you mumbled quietly and grinning.
“then we stopped by the store to get some things for our video on wednesday and i bought you both matching pjs you can wear.”
matt continued to ramble about his day to your bump, kissing it every now and then and telling the girls how excited he was to meet them. he was mid-conversation about how he was planning to cook dinner tomorrow when he noticed you dozed off, snoring quietly. he crawled over to sit in front of your face now, brushing your hair gently behind your ear. “come one, love, let’s get you into bed.”
your eyes fluttered open, being met with the soft smile on your boyfriends face. you extended your arms out, letting matt scoop you up and carry you into your shared bedroom.
“sorry if i’m heavy,” you spoke quietly into his shoulder, nuzzling your head in the crook of his neck as he carried you, “i’ve been eating a lot lately.”
“i need you to eat,” matt assured you, laying you down softly on the cotton sheets when you arrived in your room, “you’re carrying our babies.”
you smiled up at him lazily, watching him change out of his day clothes, crawling in bed next to you in just a pair of plaid boxers. he pulled you in close to his chest, one hand on your back and the other one laying on your stomach.
“do you think the girls will like me?” you asked, looking up at your boyfriend.
“of course they will,” he told you, giving you a puzzled look, “why would they not?”
“i’m just scared i won’t be a good mom.” you admitted.
matt sighed, pressing a loving kiss to your head. “you’re gonna be the best mom in the world, you already are.”
you smiled, giving matt a quick peck to his chest. “i love you, thank you for being so good to me.”
“anything for my girls.” he smiled.

Taken: Refusal
It’s past 8pm and you’re walking to your car, one of the last people in the office to leave again. He smiles darkly as he hears the click of your heels against the asphalt, coming towards him. He’s leaning against the wall, covered by the shadow of the parking garage, waiting for you. Your attention is on your purse as you dig through it, looking for your keys. You don’t stand a chance when he surges out of his hiding spot towards you. He grabs you by the throat and pulls your back against his front and shoves a syringe into your arm with his free hand. You’re out cold before you even have time to react.
He catches your body easily, carrying you to your car. He slides your prone body into the trunk, closes the lid, gets into the front seat, and drives away.
Thirty minutes later, he pulls into the garage of a house at the edge of town, miles away from anything and anyone else. He pulls you out of the trunk and carries you into the house, down the stairs, into the basement. There, he gets to work.
The basement room is well-lit and set up almost like a bedroom. A beautiful king-sized bed sits in the middle of the room with a dark wooden dresser against the wall, and a second door leading to a well-decorated bathroom. The only thing out of place is the large St. Andrew’s cross opposite the bed. He hums slightly as he works, feeling giddy with excitement at finally having you here. He‘s not in a rush, he’d injected you with enough sedative to keep you unconscious for several hours, giving him plenty of time to do what he needs to.
The first thing he does is cut away your clothes. He takes care not to accidentally nick you with the knife and smooths his hands across your body gently, almost reverently. He sighs a little, you aren’t going to be happy when you wake up, but soon, he’ll show you how good it is here. And you’ll be so happy with him.
He ties your naked body to the cross, your arms and legs spread eagle and affixed to the wood with rope. He wraps an extra piece of rope around your waist to keep you in place so you won’t be able to move when you wake up.
He runs his fingers up your thigh, watching as goosebumps erupt in his wake. Your skin is so soft. His fingers keep going upwards, going to between your legs as he parts your folds with his fingers. He slides his finger over your clit, rubbing gently at first, then with more pressure. Your breathing hitches and your body twitches slightly as the pleasure permeates into your unconscious mind. He smiles, rubbing faster and harder against your clit. He slides a second finger against your slit, feeling the moisture starting to gather. You’re so responsive and you’re not even awake yet. He pulls his fingers away, not wanting to have too much fun quite yet. You make a small, simpering noise, almost like you want him to keep going.
He steps away for a second, grabbing a ball gag from his pile of toys. He pulls your hair back gently, opens your mouth, and clips the gag into place. You look so pretty, all tied up and gagged. He grabs a small remote-controlled bullet vibrator next, along with a harness fitted specially for it. He slides the vibrator against you, positioning it directly on your hard little clit and latches the harness around you, keeping the vibrator flush against you. He clicks the remote, and watches as the vibrator starts to buzz at its lowest setting against your clit.
Your body reacts immediately. Your cheeks flush, your breathing deepens, and your legs start to tremble. He runs his fingers against your slit, finding you dripping wet and your pretty pussy clenching. He collects some of your slick on his fingers and brings it to his mouth, savoring the taste of your pussy. He takes a few steps back, sitting down on the bed as he waits.
You slowly come into consciousness, feeling your body clench as something is pressed up against your pussy. Something that feels so good. But before you can fully appreciate it, alarm bells are going off in your head. What happened? Where are you? The last thing you remember was going to your car, and then…
You start, remembering the man, being grabbed, the sting of the syringe. Your eyes fly open and you take in several things at once. You’re naked, you’re tied to a cross, you’re gagged, and you’re so close to cumming.
You wail into the gag but the sound is muffled and desperate. Your eyes dart around the room, blinking against the light.
“Welcome back, darling.”
Your eyes shoot to the man. You don’t understand. But before you can think, you see the man click a remote and the vibrating on your clit intensifies. Suddenly all you can think of is the pleasure that’s shooting through your body. You arch your back as much as you can and you scream into the gag as you cum hard. You shake in the ropes slightly as you come down from your high, trembling as the aftershocks hit you and the vibrator is still going strong. Your hips thrust, trying to dislodge the vibrator that’s slowly pushing you towards overstimulation. You wail desperately against the gag. He smiles as he clicks the remote one more time and the vibrations stop.
You’re breathing heavily as you hang from the cross, your body going slack. You whimper into the gag softly.
“That went even better than I’d planned,” he said, clearly proud of himself. He’s deranged, you think to yourself. What the fuck is happening?
“Here I was thinking you’d get nicely started with that bullet vibrator, I didn’t think you’d cum like that right when you woke up. You, my dear, are deliciously responsive.”
He walked towards you, brushing his fingers against your cheek. You shook him off, moving your head has much as you could.
“Tsk tsk don’t be like that.”
“LET ME GO!” You screamed through the gag. It sounded more like “EE ME OO.” But he seemed to get the point.
“Now now let me talk first. You’ll want to hear me out. I know exactly who you are and what I’m doing. I took you and I am keeping you and the sooner you accept that, the better it will all be.” You shake your head in confusion.
“You see, I know your type, the pretty girl with not much in your life. You have a mediocre job, very few friends, no boyfriend, hardly any family. No one will miss you. No one will look for you.” As he speaks, his fingers begin to trail up and down your torso. He circles your breasts, gently rubbing your stomach before coming to a stop right above your pelvis.
Real fear strikes you in that moment. He’s right. No one would come for you. You don’t even know if anyone would file a missing person’s report. Maybe your boss when you don’t show up for work but realistically, they’d just hire someone else to replace you in a few weeks. You’re shaking as you stare back at him.
“Now, lucky for you, I think you’re perfect for me. Exactly what I’m looking for in a pretty little pet. All it’s gonna take is a little training.”
Your eyes widen and you scream objections into the gag. He looks annoyed now, and the hand that was rubbing gentle circles against your hip suddenly tightened into a bruising grip. He came in close, close enough for you to see the flecks of color in his eyes.
“You were doing so well, don’t make me punish you already.”
You scream even more, wailing, hoping that maybe someone will hear you and come to help. His bruising grip on your hip loosens for a second and suddenly, he slaps you across the face.
You start in pain but mostly in shock and fear. The slap scared you more than it hurt you. Tears welled up in your eyes and you stared back at him desperately.
“Now are you going to be a good girl?” His voice was low and dark, underpined with something that you couldn’t decipher.
You shake your head, fear overriding your sense of self-preservation as you buck and thrash on the cross as if it’ll help you get free.
“Fine, if you won’t be good, I’ll show you what happens to bad girls.”
You struggle harder, desperately trying to get free. He leaves your line of sight and eventually, you tire and start to sag in your ropes. You hear a click, and suddenly, the vibrator against your clit, the one you’d all but forgotten about in your fear, roars to life. It vibrates furiously against your clit, at an intensity so much higher than before and you feel your pussy clench as you screams at the stimulation. Your previous orgasm seemed so long ago but the violent stimulation quickly overwhelms you.
You whine and shake as you feel yourself rushing to another orgasm.
“Aw honey are you going to cum again? You filthy little whore cumming for your kidnapper while you’re tied up.”
You feel your orgasm coming, the feeling cresting inside of you, when suddenly, the vibrator clicks off.
“No, cumming is for good girls and you were bad.”
You moan into the gag, staring at him with tears in your eyes. Your hips gyrate, trying to find the stimulation to push yourself over the edge but your orgasm is fading quickly.
“You don’t deserve to cum. No, you deserve to be punished.” The dark promise in his voice made your heart pound with fear, but your pussy clenched in response.
He walked up to your body, looking down at your puffy little clit, straining against the vibrator attached to you. He ran his fingers gently over your button, chuckling as you bucked and groaned.
“You’re soaking wet. The perfect little whore for me.” He growled into your ear and kissed the side of your neck softly before sinking his teeth in, feeling you flinch and grow taut as he gently lapped at the sting he’d inflicted. His fingers danced along your slit, running around your lips and clit but never entering you, despite how badly you wanted him to.
“I think this bad little girl needs to think about her mistakes.” He says and he pulls away. He walks a few steps away and you wail against the gag.
“NO PLEASE, DON’T LEAVE ME LIKE THIS!” It comes out garbled but he seems to understand. “You need to learn your lesson, darling.”
He smiles then he leaves. You lean against the cross, feeling drained and defeated but all of a sudden, the vibrator comes to life again. You shriek and thrash, feeling the pleasure in your clit spread as you rush toward an orgasm. But like before, right as you were about to cum, the vibrator stops. You scream desperately, moaning, begging incoherently behind the gag. As the orgasm ebbs away, the vibrator starts again.

For nezriel, monster! Nesta? Like, instead of coming out the Cauldron as an high fae she comes out distinctly Other and then ultimately bonds with azriel over that
It makes sense in that vicious beautiful way the world sometimes does that Nesta Archeron was reborn a monster.
Since her earliest memories of bruised feet and pointe shoes, of braids pulled tight against her scalp, of her mother's face screwed in disgust as she once again failed in all the ways that counted, Nesta knew with tragic certainty she'd come out of the womb wrong.
Wrong for a father who yearned for a boy.
Wrong for a mother who knew the future of her swaddled daughter and wept bitterly, grieving the punishment of womanhood not yet bestowed.
And she but a babe surely cried herself purple and sick with the recognition her soul did not fit in the pink flesh that held it.
When she is poured from the Cauldron, water splashing against flagstones, casting ephemeral shadows, no tears are shed to join that growing puddle she kneels in.
She is livid and despairing, both feelings that should draw hot salty tracks down her face, yet the sting does not come, superseded by a contentment that spreads from her core and radiates out like the sun in July.
Her skin finally fits the soul residing within.
Her sisters weep for they do not understood. It does not hurt, for Nesta Archeron was borne and bred on mistakes, missteps and misunderstandings.
In the bracing air of Hybern her body whispers for the first time,
'I understand you Nesta Archeron.'
As snow falls crisp on mountain peaks she listens.
***
She stays in Hybern. Feyre begs her to come with them and Elain screams, sending a ripple through time itself. But if as a human Nesta had been cutting, now she can bite, with fangs so sharp she nicks herself many a time before learning to retract them.
And when she gnashes her teeth at the merry band of fools it is seconds before those she loves are whisked away in whirls of night and fire.
As if she was ever a threat to her sisters.
The shadow male lingers, sharp eyes drawing over her frame, taller and wider than in the time before, casting an appreciative glance at her feathered wings and long tail that wraps around around her thigh.
He is odd she thinks.
He becomes odder still as he bows deeply and says in a low rumble,
'Fan anseo m'anam.'
***
There is a compulsion to linger on the mountain top, to burrow down in a nearby cave and wait.
But for her, raised in a world built for others, ignoring instinct is second nature.
Smile when you wish to frown.
Simper when you wish to scream.
Run when you wish to wait.
She goes to the bog. Makes home amidst wet peat and ferns. There are monsters there but she with silver flame and fang has no issue protecting her own.
She finds peace in the shadows.
The shadows find her too.
***
Two moons have passed when he lands.
A dramatic crashing affair, she hears him tumbling through the thicket like a newborn fawn, long before he comes to stand glaring before her.
Some Spymaster.
He huffs.
'I told you to wait.'
She pokes him in the stomach with her tail.
'Move. You're blocking my light.'
He sits beside her, just close enough that she could grasp his thigh if she wished, far enough away that no part of him risks touching her.
'I told you to wait.'
This time it's a plea.
She squints in his direction, raising a wing to block the sun so she can take him in.
He looks terrible. His usual shining curls are dry and tangled, she spots a few oak leaves caught in the fray.
***

Arthur and Teddy Are Coming Out by Ryan Love - 3/5 stars
The Fate of Stars by SD Simper - DNF at pg 32
A Gathering Storm by Joanna Chambers - 4.75/5 stars
I kept getting the Madame Leota room from Haunted Mansion stuck in my head as I was reading this (not a bad thing!). This book has a surprisingly low rating on the Storygraph, and I'm not going to torture myself by looking at the reviews, but I'm assuming it's because of the power discrepancy between Ward and Nick. Clearly it didn't bother me as I really enjoyed the book!
Dionysus in Wisconsin by EH Lupton - 4.75/5 stars
At some point I might get tired of Mid-Century Modern romances, but not this day. This book was super fun, with an interesting world and lovely characters. And a Midwest setting! I've spent a lot of time in Madison, Wisconsin, where this book is set, so I got the added bonus of knowing most of the places pretty well. There was even a shoutout to an obscure piece of Madison history, the Lost City in the Arb. I have to get the second book in the series now!boy
Boy Meets Boy by David Levithan - 3.25/5 stars
I gave this book an extra quarter of a star for being written in 2003, when it would have been genuinely pretty groundbreaking. Reading it in 2024, it's very twee and pretty cringey (the queer utopia town would have been a magical fantasy in 2003, not so much now in a lot of places). When Levithan credited Francesca Lia Block's Weetzie Bat books in the acknowledgements, I though, ah. No wonder. Hated those as a teen.
All that said, there's some genuinely lovely writing in this book, and it has its place in the queer canon.
The Greywacke by Nick Davidson - 5/5 stars
Super interesting nonfiction about the discipline of geology and how the early geologic epochs were figured out. Also gave me an idea for a historical romance about gay Victorian geologists.
Home Grown Talent by Joanna Chambers & Sally Malcolm - 5/5 stars
I think I loved this one more than the first in the series. The social media scandal was perfect, in that it was exactly as absurd as every social media scandal is, and thus hilarious, but also chilling in how even something so stupid can ruin people's lives.
The First Bright Thing by JR Dawson - DNF at pg 1
Prince of the Sorrows by Kellen Graves - DNF at pg 30
Reuben's Hot & Cold by M Arbon - 3/5 stars
Slight Foxing Around the Edges by Melissa Polk - DNF at pg 132
Restored by Joanna Chambers - 5/5 stars
Balefire by Jordan L Hawk - 4.75/5 stars
A Rulebook for Restless Rogues by Jess Everlee - 4/5 stars
The Mars House by Natasha Pulley - 5/5 stars
See my brain vomit about this book here. If you've been around here for any amount of time you know all Natasha Pulley's books make me feral. Absolutely no exception here. I cannot believe her first UK publisher dropped her over this book. Idiots! It's wonderful just like everything she's ever written.
In the Case of Heartbreak by Courtney Kaye - DNF at pg 181
The Piano Tuner by Daniel Mason - DNF at pg 21
The Charm Offensive by Alison Cochrun - 5/5 stars (reread)
Just as good as the first time I read it!
Exhalation by Ted Chiang - 4.5/5 stars
The Foxhole Court by Nora Sakavic - DNF at pg 84
Crisped + Sere by TJ Klune - 4.75/5 stars
It actually kind of makes me mad that this series isn't Klune's most famous work, because it's real good. At this point it seems kind of unlikely he's going to continue it, but man, I'd love another book.
These Silent Stars by Chani Lynn Feener - DNF at pg 68
Trailer Park Trickster by David R Slayton - 5/5 stars
See below.
Deadbeat Druid by David R Slayton - David R Slayton - 5/5 star
I LOVE this series. Love love love love. Absolute must read. If you're a fan of KD Edwards's The Tarot Sequence, this series is right up your alley. It seems like there will be more after this initial trilogy, and there's also a spinoff book coming soon which I'm super excited for. Read them!!

Predictable
Tumblr media
In the just in the nick of time category! For week 4 of @lilyoffandoms Writer Appreciation Week, here is a little AU for my paired writer, @trappedinfanfiction, featuring her OTP Ethan x Celia and my OTP Tobias x Casey. I hope you enjoy it, Tif!
Book: Open Heart (Book 3 Timeline)
Pairings: Ethan Ramsey x Celia Moore Tobias Carrick x Casey MacTavish
Rating: Teen
Words: 2250
Summary: Celia and Casey have become good friends and believe a double date is in order! Unfortunately, their boyfriends are ex-best friends and rivals. Watch as the night unfold. Will it go better than expected, or be a disaster?
A/N: Participating in @choicesseptemberchallenge2023 Day 9 Date Night.
Tumblr media
The condo was quiet. Entirely too quiet for them getting ready for a Saturday night out, but it wasn’t just any night, and Celia knew Ethan was miffed. Putting the final touches on her makeup, she bit her cheek to stop herself from laughing at his pouting. She knew he wasn’t happy, but the huffing and grumbling under his breath as he changed his tie for the fifth time was a bit... dramatic... to say the least.
Clearing her throat to get his attention, she was disappointed when the scowl remained on his face. Even the incredibly low-cut black silk dress she picked for the evening wasn’t cheering him up.
“Do you need some help picking out a tie? I can help.”
“I am capable of picking out a tie,” he stated flatly. “But... thank you.”
“You do seem to be struggling,” she teased as he collapsed into an easy chair with a sigh.
“Is it too late to say we have a fatal condition that will miraculously disappear in the next 24 hours.”
“Interesting...” Celia sang as she playfully sat on his lap. “Because it wasn’t all that long ago when I did have a mystery illness, and we weren’t sure I had another 24 hours left.  But, thanks to Tobias, I’m here... sitting on your lap... in this incredibly hot dress that you have not had the decency to acknowledge!”
His stony façade crumbled as his eyes traced her body, happily landing on her decolletage, just inches from the pleasant grin tugging at his lips.
“You make an excellent point,” he surrendered, his hands roaming over her curves. “But it was a team effort. We can hardly credit Tobias with saving you.”
“Oh? Would you like to redo the night and exclude him... just to see how things turn out?”
Ethan’s silence was all the answer she needed, and she rose to her feet with a triumphant grin.
“That’s all the more reason for us to stay in... I’m sure Tobias, of all people, would understand that I’d rather do... other things...”
“Nice try,” she laughed. “But we’re meeting Casey and Tobias at Menton in thirty minutes, like it or not.”
“Well, you know my answer to that.”
“Ethan. Casey is a good friend, and it’s ridiculous to think we can’t have dinner with our boyfriends, especially when they were once best friends themselves.”
“Were being the operative word.”
“Is asking you to be polite for one evening too much?”
“It’s not,” he sighed.  “You’re right.”
“I know I am,” she simpered. “You know when most people say ‘my better half,’ it’s just a term of endearment, but in our case, I very much am your better half. The sooner you accept that, the better.”
Ethan barked out a laugh. “Then we’re in luck. Because I’ve already accepted it.  Now let’s go, but we’re not staying a minute past 9:30... agreed?”
“Agreed. Just be a good boy, Ethan, and I’ll reward you later.”
“In that case, we don’t stay a minute past 9:00.”
In a townhome across town...
A manicured hand crept out from the billowy covers and blindly reached at the nightstand in search of her blaring phone. Casey’s attention was very much on other things, but they had ignored the first three alarms; they couldn’t do it again.
Undeterred, Tobias remained in place, placing a trail of hot kisses from her belly up toward her chin, stopping to linger on some of his favorite spotsalong the way.
“Tobias,” she giggled, attempting to wiggle out from under him. “Tobias! We have to go. Our reservation is in 30 minutes, and we’re still naked.”
With a heaving breath, he collapsed on her in defeat. “I happen to like us naked.  Can we please just cancel? I’m telling you, Ramsey won’t give a damn if we do.”
“Agreed,” she said, turning on the light. “In fact, you’d probably make his night. But I’d be disappointed, and so would Celia. So I ask you, do you want to disappoint two beautiful women but make Ethan’s dreams come true?”
He rolled over with a grumble. “When you put it that way...”
“Tobias, Celia is one of my best friends. It’s not like we’ll ask for it often, but once in a while, you and Ethan will need to put up with each other.”  
“Why?”
Casey flipped around, her coquettish gaze saying more than words could express.
“Because I’m asking you to.”
“Fine,” he smirked. “But outside of this apartment, no one is to know how goddamned whipped you have me. OK?”
“Yeah,” she cackled. “Too late for that, Carrick. Why don’t you go pick out what heels I’ll wear tonight?  This way, you have something nice to focus on during the meal?”
“Yeah,” his eyes lit up. “Can I pick out the undies, too?”
“Undies?” she winked.  “You were expecting me to wear undies?”
“Never mind,” he replied gleefully. “But stop talking like that, or we will be staying home!”
“Go get dressed, Dr. Carrick. I’ve given you your appetizer, and if you behave at dinner, I assure you desert will be spectacular.”
Tobias shook his head as he reached the bedroom door, turning back to Casey with a smile.  
“You know, sometimes I still can’t believe I’ve met you.”
“Yeah, yeah...” she teased. “You can thank your lucky stars when the sunsets. Now go get dressed!”
Forty Five minutes later...
Ethan was tapping his foot in annoyance as Celia perused the menu.  Tobias and Casey were already fifteen minutes late, and Ethan was inquiring how long they had to give them before they left when the guilty parties appeared.  Holding hands as they moved through the crowd, the smiles on their faces left little question about what Tobias was whispering in her ear. Ethan rolled his eyes just as Celia glanced in his direction.
“Ethan!” she scolded.  
“I don’t know what she sees in him.  Maybe we should introduce her to my friend Arutur. We’d be saving her a lifetime of grief.”
“Arthur?” Celia grimaced. “The guy in the opera box next to yours?”
“Yes.”
“The one who forages and organizes his cupboards for fun?”
“Yes. He’s a grown-up.”
“He’s a bore! And even if Casey wasn’t happy with Tobias, you need to stick with your day job because you do not have a future in matchmaking.”
Tobias stuck close to Casey as they neared the table.
“God, he looks as miserable as ever,” he groaned.
“Tobias, Ethan’s not that bad.”
“Yeah, he is. Look at him. I think his face would crack if he attempted a sincere smile.”
“Tobias, weren’t you besties at one point? How bad can he be?”
“That was a long time ago. He was a lot more fun back then.”
“Maybe he just needs you to help bring that fun side out again.”
“I’m sure that’s the last thing he wants.”
“I didn’t say want; I said need. Now, just be your jovial self.  And if dinner becomes difficult, just focus on dessert, OK?”
“I’ve been focusing on nothing but. Remember, we’re out of here by 9:00.”
After quick greetings, Ethan summonsed the waiter over to place their drink orders.
“How difficult was it to get him here,” Celia whispered to Casey.
“On a scale of 1-10.  I’d say a 9.  What about you?”
“At least a 15.  But, we’re here,” Celia smiled. 
Tobias and the women agreed on a bottle of wine to share, and then Ethan placed an order for Macallan 18, Sherry Cask.   
“Damn,” Tobias chuckled. “Still drinking that?
“Never stopped.”
“Wait, you drank that during med school?” Celia marveled. “That’s an awfully hefty price tag for a struggling med school student.”
“Some things are worth sacrificing for, dear.”
“So I’ve heard,” Celia winked. “Did you share that bill with him back then, Tobias?”
“Me? Oh, hell no! I drank nothing but cheap stuff back then.”
“Really?” Casey gasped. “But you had a champagne budget.”
“He didn’t want everyone to know that,” Ethan stepped in.
“Nope,” Tobias agreed.  “So I just took the risk of drinking nothing but Boone’s Berry Creek.”
“Did that protect your secret?” Celia asked.
“Unfortunately not.  The Carrick name was just too known at Hopkins, so... I gave up.”
“I’m sure your liver was thankful,” Casey smiled as a look of almost sympathy crossed Ethan’s face.
“Back then, we were both trying to pretend we were something we weren’t. We both had something to prove, even if they were different things.”
“Yeah, and we both failed miserably,” Tobias half smiled.  
“But at least you became friends,” Casey said.  “That’s something.”
“It was,” Ethan replied, taking a sip of his newly arrived drink. “Until we weren’t.”  
“It was a... complicated time,” Tobias offered, as an uncomfortable atmosphere settled on their table.
Celia and Casey kept chatting to keep the mood light, but even they began to wonder if 9:00 might be pushing it. Relief washed over them as the first course arrived, but Tobias’s eyes went wide.  
“Ethan, don’t look up, but is that Richard Barder?”
“Richard Barder?” Ethan blurted as his head circled the room.  “Where?”
“I said don’t look up!” Tobias admonished.
“Now, how the hell am I supposed to know if it’s him if I don’t look up!”
Suppressing smiles, Celia and Casey’s eyes met across the table.
“I think it’s him,” Ethan stated.
“Oh, that’s him,” Tobias agreed. “Goddamn, I haven’t seen him since his wedding.”
Ethan snorted in amusement.  “Which one?” he scoffed.
“The second, I believe. How many is he up to now?”  
“To the best of my knowledge, he’s on spouse number four.”  
“Jesus,” Tobias laughed. “I guess if, at first, you don’t succeed....”
“Amazing,” Celia declared. “Someone in your Hopkins class getting married? I thought that was forbidden?”
“Apparently, Richard is making up for all of those from their class who refuse,” Casey laughed.
“Trust me. You two wouldn’t want to marry either of us if we were Richard,” Tobias insisted.
“Well, it seems like four other people would disagree with that,” Celia teased.
“In fairness, three of those four probably no longer agree with that statement,” Casey surmised.
“There’s a lid for every pot out there,” Ethan shrugged. “But as bright as you two are, you’d never agree to marry the likes of Richard.”
“Aww, Ethan,” Casey grinned. “Are you saying I’m smart for picking Tobias?”
“I said no such thing!” He snapped. “I would deny it in a court of law.”
Celia rolled her eyes. “With three witnesses? Good luck with that!”
Tobias hadn’t been paying attention to the conversation at the table, instead focusing on Richard holding court at the bar.  “You know, enough avoiding him. Let’s go say hello.  Can’t hurt to get the scoop on what happened with marriage three and four.”
“I’m not interested in idle gossip.”
“You’re so full of shit,” Tobias shot back. “I’m going to go say hi, and when I come back, don’t you dare ask me what he said because I won’t tell you.”
Ethan sat perfectly still, but it was clear to see an internal battle waging inside.  As Tobias stood up, he couldn’t hold back any longer.
“Fine! I’ll go.”
“I knew you would,” Tobias smirked.
“Will you two be OK?” Ethan asked.
“Yes,” Celia mocked. “Somehow, we’ll manage to survive without the two of yo.  Go ahead and get your gossip, my dear.”
The two women sipped their wine as they watched the men walk to the bar, animatedly chatting as if they hadn’t spent the last decade avoiding each other.
“So,” Celia simpered.  “What time did Tobias tell you that you had to be out of here?”
“Nine.  And you?”
“Nine,” Celia laughed. “God, they are two sides of the same coin, aren’t they?”
“Twenty dollars says we’ll be heading home much later than nine.  In fact, we’ll probably be the ones begging to go.”
“Didn’t you hear Ethan?” Celia joked. “We’re smart. Why would I take that bet?”
“They’re too predictable,” Casey laughed.
“Yeah, but they’re cute.”
“Hey!” Casey said, playfully shoving her friend’s shoulder.  “Eyes off of my boyfriend.”
“Pfft!” Celia waved.  “Feel free to look at mine.  Just look, of course.”
Hours later...
Casey’s head was nuzzled on Tobias’s shoulder.  “Tobias,” she yawned. “I really think we should head home.”
“I agree,” Celia nodded. “It’s way past my bedtime.
“It’s not even midnight,” Ethan scowled.
“I know, but we have that... thing... to do in the morning.”
“In the morning?” Ethan questioned. 
“Ethan,” Casey rolled her eyes. “Morning is in like fifteen minutes.  She wants to do you in the morning.  Can’t you take the hint?”
“I’m sure you have things to do, too,” Celia winked.
“Yes,” Tobias grinned. “Me.  I’m things.  She has to do me.”
Ethan ran a hand down the front of hi face.  “You two are a match made in heaven.”
“I don’t know If heaven will take credit for this,” Celia laughed.
“I suppose we should get going,” Tobias agreed.
“Yes,” Ethan nodded.  “But we should do this again sometime soon.”
“You know, Casey & I have tickets for the Sox game next Tuesday.  Luxury box! You’re both welcome to join us.”
“Count us in!” Ethan insisted.
The two men gabbed non-stop as they waited for their taxis. 
“We knew this would happen,” Casey whispered.
“Sure did.  You know what this means, don’t you?”
“That eventually we’re going to be telling them we’d rather spend the night alone with them?”
“Absolutely,” Casey grinned.  “They’re just too predictable.”

Kiss it better
Tumblr media
An: Here is my entry for @flordeamatista's Loveeeeeee Song Writing Challenge. I chose the song ‘Kiss it better’. Love you Alice! Enjoy some angst, smut and action with our bad boy.
Beta’d by the American disaster, @yarnforbrains 
Master list
Tumblr media
Relationship: Nick Fowler x Morally grey private contractor Fem!Reader
Word count: 4.5k
CW: alcohol consumption, violence (knives and guns), angst, smut (oral - m receiving, unprotected sex - don’t do this) star-crossed lovers, feels, Nick talking a bit of Romanian. (înger means angel)
Tumblr media
You weren’t surprised when you ran into Nick. Given the line of work you were both in, it was inevitable that you’d cross paths now and again.
You’d both spotted each other at about the same time, and he raised his champagne glass in salute at you from across the ballroom, flashing you a wry smile. You tilted your head in a small nod in return, before returning to the conversation you’d been having with your mark. You chatted; you flirted, and you simpered, putting out the air of a vacuous party girl, only concerned with dresses and jewellery.
You felt you were getting there, turning the older millionaire in front of you into putty in your soft, manicured hands, when suddenly you were snagged by your arm.
“Please excuse the interruption, but I haven’t seen this lovely lady in quite a while, and we have lots to catch up on.” 
The pretty speech was aimed at your companion, and before you could open your mouth to protest, you found yourself whirled onto the dance floor in the arms of the man you hated to love and loved to hate.
“Rude, Nick.” You pouted at him as you looked up into his artic eyes. You took in the subtle changes since you’d seen him last: another small scar on his left temple - no doubt a souvenir from some kind of fight - a few more grey hairs here and there, and a deepening of the scowl line across his forehead. “I had that guy just where I wanted him, and now he probably thinks I’m going to throw him over for you.”
Your heart and your stomach lurched, and it had nothing to do with how he was gracefully leading you around the floor and everything to do with the mischievous twinkle in his eye.
“You mean you’re not, sweetheart? I thought you’d at least try it on with me, especially after last time.”
“What can I say, Nicky. Sorry, not sorry. It was just business, nothing personal.”
He pulled you closer, lowering his head and whispering directly into your ear - anyone watching would take the gesture as romantic.
“You cost me a lot that day, înger. Not just money either. It was the connections too. So let’s just say that any loss you make today is just a rebalance of the scales.”
He artfully twirled you away and then brought you back into the sturdy enclosure of his arms. You weren’t going to escape him or get your way through brute force, but you had your cunning and, while you didn’t want to hurt him physically, if push came to shove, you had your handy stiletto strapped to your thigh under your Versace gown.
However, now you were being held by him, your body recognised a certain safety, so you slid your arms up around his neck, your fingers delicately teasing the ends of his dark brown hair. His hands came down lower on your back, almost sweeping the top swell of your ass, pulling your hips flush against his. You reacted instantly.
“Is this your way of saying you want me to make it up to you?” You rubbed the side of your nose against his jaw, his trimmed stubble biting in a way that made you want to salivate. 
Why the two of you had never properly teamed up, you didn’t know. You’d be formidable if you did, but it was probably because both of you had trust issues. It was a shame really. Both of you were ambitious, driven, intelligent, and fast on your feet - figuratively and literally. Then there was the chemistry. Neither of you could deny the pull between you, like opposite poles of a magnet, constantly being drawn together. 
Sex with Nick was something entirely mind blowing. He managed to perfectly toe that line between being rough and dominating enough to excite you, but not so far it made you rail against it. You were independent; no simpering miss waiting for a ‘Daddy’ or a ‘Sir’ to make you feel loved and cherished. You knew what you wanted and when you saw it, you took it. And despite it being a very bad idea, your mind and your body wanted Nick again as soon as you’d locked eyes with him earlier. You had to promise yourself that this would be the very last time you succumbed to his charms.
You rotated your hips and scraped your teeth down the column of his throat, pleased when you saw his reaction - a narrowing of his eyes and an almost inaudible grunt that no-one but you would pick up on.
“Come on, Nicky-baby. Let me say sorry. You can put your pride aside for that, can’t you? Let me kiss it better.”
When he came to a sudden halt on the edge of the dance floor, you knew you’d pushed him too far, too fast. He unwound your arms from around his neck and stepped back, looking down at you with his nostrils flaring in frustration.
“Nice try, înger. Despite how tempting your offer is, we both know it would be a bad idea.”
Time to go for broke. You smiled at him, coyly and tried to close the distance between the pair of you once more.
“Wouldn’t be the first time you agreed to a bad idea. One last time, whaddya say?”
He snorted then, in derisive amusement and taking hold of both humour wrists in one of his hands, stroked the knuckles of the other down the smooth skin of your cheek.
“Are you that desperate for my cock? Your hungry little cunt not satisfied by anyone else? How very sad for you.”
You felt the heat of embarrassment suffuse your neck and face and pulled your arms from his grip with a sudden jerk. Now you remembered why sometimes you couldn’t stand him.
“Fuck you, Nick!”
“You wish, sweetheart. You wish.”
You spun on your heel and stalked towards the bar, deciding you needed a drink to wash the bad taste of that conversation from your mouth. Fuck Nick and the helicopter he flew in on.
Tumblr media
A martini and a half later and you were feeling decidedly more calm. You planned to finish this drink and then see if you could recoup lost ground with your mark from earlier. Part of you wondered why Nick was at this gathering, but given the mixture of folk in attendance, it could be anything from corporate espionage to arms dealing. Everyone here was in pursuit of power and money at all costs. You and Nick were no different than the rest of them.
The problem with a group like this, though, was that it only took one idiot with a short fuse, and an even shorter dick, to turn it into a shit show. 
Across the room, you became aware of Nick being in deep conversation with some other men that made even someone as hard as you shiver in distaste. Yes, you were ruthless, but even you had morals - certain enterprises that you would not entertain even as a means to an end.
The conversation turned heated, voices rising to a level where they could be heard above the band. You slipped away from the bar, drink abandoned, instinct driving you to see if you could assist Nick and lower tensions. You were charismatic and had a way with people, especially certain men who could be manipulated by a melodic laugh, a flash of cleavage, and the insinuation of a good time to come.
“Nicky. Gentlemen. Everything alright over here?” They fell silent at your interruption, but none of them took their eyes from each other. You stifled the urge to sigh. Men and their need to dominate one another.
“It’s all good, înger. You run along now.” Nick’s voice was tense, and you guessed that the man he was staring at was the leader of the group. Unfortunately, you were standing closer to him than any of the others, and with the protection of his men around him, he felt confident enough to drag his eyes from Nick and run his gaze over you. His interest made you feel nauseous, but you kept your vapid smile on your face.
“I think she should stay, Nicky. It’s always a good idea to improve the view.” He took hold of your arm and hooked it through his, pulling you close, half in front of him, his free hand poking into the small of your back. No, not his hand. His gun. With only Nick able to see your face now, you rolled your eyes. This idiot had signed his own death warrant, and didn’t even know it yet. And he kept on talking.
“Let’s take this party outside, shall we? Continue our discussions in private. I’m sure I can persuade you to see my point of view, Nicky.”
Your hand inched down leg, to the thigh-high slit in your dress, and you watched the tiny twitch of Nick’s own hands, desperate to be holding a firearm and taking out these bozos. You turned your head to look up at the man holding you, putting on your most doe-like expression.
“But I don’t want to go outside. It’s cold. And the party's here.”
He gave you a rough shake.
‘Shut your mouth. You obviously mean something to my friend here, so I need you to help me keep him in line.”
With as much honey dripping from your mouth as possible you delivered your coup de grace.
“But how are you gonna keep me in line?”
For a second he was speechless, processing what you’d said, but before he could make any retort he jerked as your blade pierced his side, sinking into his flesh with hardly any resistance. He let out a grunt and his gun clattered to the floor. 
There was a moment’s silence before all hell broke loose. 
You dropped down, out of his slackening hold, scooping up the firearm with your free hand as you jerked the knife from his body. He collapsed, blood pouring from the wound and splattering your dress. 
Then the gunshots started. 
Whether Nick started shooting first or the goons, you didn’t know or care, but the ballroom was filled with screaming, and the smell of gunpowder mixed with blood. Nick grabbed your hand and pulled you up and behind him, shielding you as he reversed you both out of the chaos, returning fire against the four men shooting at the pair of you. 
You plastered yourself to his back, the pilfered gun in your left hand, firing around his body. Nick jerked, letting out a stifled shout and you glanced with him, seeing the darkening of his suit jacket fabric on his right upper arm. It didn’t slow him down though. 
Reaching the doorway, you turned and bolted through it along the corridor towards the exit. The pair of you burst out into the chill of the night, passed the startled valet’s having a secret smoke, and towards the rows of parked cars.
Keeping low with Nick covering you, you tried the handles, finally finding one that the low paid teens hadn’t locked properly. Carefully, you slid into the passenger side, then moved across the centre and into the driver’s seat. Nick followed you in, closing the door quickly to extinguish the overhead light.
“Why the hell are you in the driver’s seat?” His whisper was harsh as your hands worked their magic with the wires under the steering column.
“Just keep an eye out, okay, Nick? Let’s play to our strengths here and not gender roles. I’m better at hotwiring, and you’re better at shooting. Also, I’m not bleeding. Therefore, I drive; you clear a path. Oh, and put your seatbelt on.”
From the corner of your eye you saw him shake his head and heard him chuckle, and you couldn’t hold back your smile. However, your concentration returned to the job at hand as the engine of the car roared into life. You heard shouting as the men chasing you suddenly identified where you were.
“Hold on!” You threw the car into reverse, the spinning wheels kicking up gravel as you manoeuvred the car out of its space. A loud bang, followed by a ‘thunk’ let you know your escape vehicle was now being shot at, and the pair of you ducked your heads as you moved the shifter into drive. In a shower of glass, the rear windshield was gone, but that just allowed Nick to turn in his seat and shoot back as you flattened the accelerator, and the car screamed down the driveway. You exited onto a narrow, country road. You had no choice but to turn on the head lamps, because without them you were likely to end up upside down, in a ditch, on fire.
For a minute or two it was quiet, the only sounds were those of the engine and your and Nick’s breathing.
“We need to turn off this road. Might be being followed.” His voice was strained, probably due to the shot he’d taken.
“I know a place nearby.”
He grunted and went silent again. Then a minute later, “Did you have to kill him?”
You chuckled. “You know me, Nick. He pissed me off. Underestimated me, and he only got to do that once. No second chances. Besides, he was annoying you. Only I’m allowed to do that.”
Another grunt, but you could tell it was one made with a smile, albeit a pained one.
The car hugged the road surface, and you drove along at breakneck speed, only slowing down just before you returned off, not wanting to leave obvious treadmarks leading onto the dirt track.
You pulled up outside a small cabin and killed the lights and engine. Knowing Nick was capable of getting out of the car himself, you strode straight to the front door, turning the handle and giving it a shoulder barge in just the right place to pop the ineffective lock.
It was a rustic place, and you grabbed hold of the oil lamp and matches, quickly illuminating your immediate surroundings with a soft glow. The door clicked, letting you know that Nick had joined you.
“Get that jacket and shirt off, big boy. Let’s see how big your new scar is going to be.”
You moved off toward the back of the cabin, searching for the first aid kit and the half bottle of vodka.  When you came back, Nick was standing where you left him.
“Swallow your pride, Nicky. Sit and strip.” You inclined your head to the rickety chair next to an equally dilapidated looking dining table, and finally he complied, but not without a deep sigh. He hissed in pain as he took off his suit jacket, and even in the low light it was impossible to hide the amount of blood on his dress shirt underneath.  It was obvious his adrenaline was dropping with how sluggish his movements were getting, and after watching him fumble one handed with his shirt buttons, you came to his rescue, freeing them all in a matter of seconds.  You helped him shed the ruined fabric and tried not to let your gaze linger on his chest.
Passing him the vodka bottle, he took a hearty swig before sloshing some over his wound.  Taking the bottle from him, you gave him the lantern to hold instead.
“Hold it steady - I need to see what I’m doing here. I was never any good at embroidery at school.”
You did your best not to listen to the small sounds of pain he let out as you cleaned away the blood and shirt fibres from the wound.
“You’re lucky, Nick. Just a deep gouge where the bullet grazed you. Good job those guys couldn’t shoot for shit.”
“Stop yapping and get on with it. I wanna go to sleep and try to forget that this evening ever happened.”
“Well excuse me, Mr Grumpy Pants!”
You didn’t take his attitude to heart - you knew he was cross with himself for how the evening had gone down and for letting himself get hurt.
Having made sure you’d done the best cleaning job possible, you threaded the needle, heated it in the flame of the lantern and then dipped it in the vodka to cool and sterilise as best you could. Nick let out small grunts as you pulled the edges of his damaged flesh together, doing your best to be neat about it. You found some gauze and dressed the wound, wrapping the fabric around his firm bicep.
First aid completed, Nick placed the lantern in the middle of the table and you slumped down in the chair next to him. You took a drink of vodka from the bottle and then passed it to him, watching as he took another swig.
“You sure you’re okay, înger?”
“Peachy, Nick. Can’t say the same for my dress, and I really liked this one.” In the gloom the blood stains on it weren’t obviously visible, but you knew they were there. The pair of you lapsed into silence, passing the vodka bottle back and forth, and you trying to ignore how Nick looked at you when you hiked up your long skirt to make it easier to remove your heels. 
As you freed your feet from their confines you wiggled your toes.
“Up.” Nick’s command didn’t take you too much by surprise. He knew how much you hated wearing heels. You placed your feet in his lap, and with his good hand he started to massaged up the ball and arch of your foot. You let out a moan at the feeling and heard his small laugh.
“Don’t change, do you, sweetheart?”
“Neither do you, Nick. It’s why we make such a great team. Like tonight. Thanks for getting me out of there.”
“Hey, I think we both got both of us out of there.”
He was right, and you hated to think how things could have ended this evening. There was a lump in your throat as you considered your life without Nick in it. It was getting harder and harder not to admit how you felt.
You watched him concentrate on your feet, seeing some of his rarely unveiled softness.
Fuck it.
You suddenly pulled your feet from Nick's lap, and while he was still momentarily confused you rose out of your chair, closed the distance between you and sat down on top of him, your legs bracketing his thighs.
You took his face in your hands and watched the yellow glow of the lamplight reflect in the mist-blue of his eyes.
“You know how I feel about you, Nick?”
His left hand came up to cover your right, an unusually tender gesture for him.
“I feel the same, sweetheart.”
“But we’re no good for each other, are we?”
“Not in this lifetime, no.”
Nick responded so apologetically, and you felt your heart swell. Leaning forwards you pressed your lips to his, kissing him slowly and sweetly. He accepted your kiss for what it was, not trying to deepen it. Your hands fell to his shoulders and his large ones clasped your waist. 
You pulled your lips from his and trailed them down his throat and across his right collarbone. He stayed still, his emotional state only given away by the way his fingers tightened their grip.
You pressed your kisses over his shoulder stopping where the gauze you’d wrapped around his arm started.
“Will you let me kiss it better, Nick? Just one more time?”
“Of course, înger. This last time, and all the other ‘last times’ we find ourselves in.”
“I mean it, Nicky.”
“You mean it every time, sweetheart…”
Your lips smiled against his warm skin, moving back across to his chest. His scent was stronger due to his earlier exertions, and you breathed it in as you kissed across his small, pebbled nipples. You couldn’t resist the urge to bite down on the meat of his left pectoral, and you delighted in the sharp intake of breath that Nick took.
“Înger….” He growled out a playful warning and you laved your tongue over the small marks you’d left. Part of you hoped it would bruise and leave him with a reminder of you that would linger.
Your hands moved lower as you continued to worship Nick’s torso, working on his belt and the fastening of his dress pants. Nick shifted on his chair, allowing you to pull the expensive black fabric down his legs. You didn’t need bright lights to know how aroused he was; the way his cock bounced against your hand from inside his briefs made it more than clear.
Curling your fingers around the waist band, you freed him as your mouth travelled lower. You licked up his length and revelled in how he rested his left hand on the top of your head, not controlling, but just to feel you. You licked him again, just to feel him shudder with anticipation, before finally taking the tip of him into your mouth.
The chair creaked as Nick shifted his weight under your sensual onslaught. You’d done this dance so many times before that you knew what he liked, how to make him lose his resolve. You dipped into the slit of him, tasting the pearly drops of precum that leaked out before swirling around his head and teasing his frenulum.
You sank down further, drawing him deeper into your mouth, feeling his cock twitch as it bumped against the back of your throat.
“What are you doing to me, sweetheart? You know I can’t resist you.” Nick’s voice was soft, almost tender and romantic, and you wished the pair of you could be more.
His hips twitched pushing him further into your throat, and you could feel tears prickling at your eyes. If this was going to be your last time doing this you wanted him to remember it. Your hands rubbed up and down his thighs, feeling the strength of them as the coarse hair grazed your palms.
Nick’s breath was coming out in heavy pants, his hand gripping the back of your head.
“Înger, fuck, I need you. Please…”
You allowed him to tug you away and off his cock. He dragged you back onto his lap, pulling and pushing at your long skirt so that the only thing separating the pair of you was your flimsy lace underwear. This time when he kissed you it was with more passion than before, like he was trying to brand his body with yours.
You rolled your hips over him, both of you moaning into each other, desperate for that final connection. It took you only a moment to reach between you and pull your thong to the side, finally allowing him access to you.
You took him all in, relishing in the burn and stretch, too impatient to feel him to take your time.
“Nick!” His mouth latched onto your throat sucking and biting, his hands gripping your waist as you started to move. There was no romance here, just need and passion and want. As much as you wanted the former, there was no space for it between you and Nick - it would just make it hurt more.
“I wish we could run away, sweetheart. Tu și cu mine, away from all of this, somewhere where no one could find or bother us. Ți-aș da lumea.”
“I don’t need the world, just you.”
His hands were on your back, working the fastening of your dress, pulling it down your body to pool at your waist. He freed your breasts from your bra and lavished his attention on them, rolling your nipples between his forefinger and thumb, then pulling the sensitive nubs into his mouth in turn.
The fingers of one of your hands ran up into his hair, holding him to your chest, and the fingers of the other moved to where you were joined, drawing tight circles on your clit as you rode him.
Three words rested on your tongue, words that you desperately wanted to say, but knew you couldn’t. You both knew there was nothing more for the pair of you than this, and you just had to accept it. 
You whimpered as you felt your orgasm approach, repeating his name like a litany.
“That’s it, înger. Give me it. I need to feel you cum, vă rog.”
His words, though starting like a command, ended with a plea, and you knew he was feeling as wrecked as you were.
You cried out, your walls spasming around him as you kept rocking, waves of pleasure threatening to overwhelm you.
“Fill me up, Nick. I need you.”
You kissed him, letting him take over the movement as he planted his feet and thrust up into you in harsh strokes, reaching for his end. You swallowed the noises he made as he spilled inside you and you ground down on him, the final darts of your aftershocks shooting through your body.
Your bodies continued to rock gently against each other and you lazily made out as you both came back down. Nick shocked you though when he stood, and you squeaked as he let you slide down his body.
Your dress fell down your legs to land on the floor and Nick toed off his shoes and shook off his pants and briefs from around his ankles. His skin glowed golden and there was still a feral hunger in his eyes.
“Lead the way to the bed, sweetheart. You need to be lying down for what I have in mind next.”
Tumblr media
Sunlight shining on your face finally woke you. Your eyes blinked open, and you found yourself lying with your head on Nick’s chest with your legs tangled together with the sheets.
For a moment you let yourself daydream about what it would be like to wake up like this everyday. You watched his face as he continued to sleep. It was strange to see him so relaxed.
With a sigh you made yourself get up, gently easing away from the man you could easily give your heart to. On silent feet you gathered your clothes, quickly redressing in your bloodstained gown. You didn’t fancy wearing your heels, so you stole Nick’s socks to protect your feet.
You felt bad about what you were about to do, but Nick had his phone with him, so he’d be able to sort himself out, sooner or later. You snuck out the door and climbed into the car, finding it much easier to start it up in the light when you could actually see the wires you were trying to manipulate.
Just like last night, the engine roared to life and shifting into drive, you drove a tight circle to turn the car to point towards the track back to the main road. You had a lot of damage control to do after last night, and despite your feelings, as you’d said to Nick last night, it was just business. You just needed your heart to get the memo. 
As you pulled away you glanced in the rear-view mirror, and there was Nick, standing in the doorway, in just his briefs and arm bandage. His expression was unreadable as you lengthened the distance between you until you turned the corner and could no longer see him. Why did driving away this time hurt more than last time?
Hurting bad man, and it hurts inside when I look you in your eye.

Unhinged ships, Dark Lord edition! Hot Tom, waxy Voldemort, or noseless Voldemort, as you prefer.
Voldemort/Nearly Headless Nick
Voldemort/Zacharias Smith
Voldemort/Rufus Scrimgeour
Voldemort/Elphias Doge
Voldemort/Gilderoy Lockhart
Bonus: Voldemort/Gilderoy Lockhart/James Potter
cheers, anon. here goes.
nicholas de mimsy-porpington/tom riddle
we know that young tom canonically spends his teenage years trying to chat up helena ravenclaw [king... come on... try and pull the living]. well, what if he didn't know she was the specific ghost he needed to finesse the diadem's whereabouts out of, but instead only knew that he needed to speak to a ghost?
cue him biting his tongue hard enough to bleed as he tries to smile placidly through "here's all the reasons i should be allowed to join the headless hunt" for hours on end.
[he made ginny target nick with the basilisk in revenge.]
zacharias smith/lord voldemort
since zacharias is in hufflepuff, my assumption is that he's a relation of voldemort's erstwhile nemesis, hepzibah "didn't i tell you i was distantly descended?" smith.
which means... flopping, i'm afraid! lord v's not wasting his time doing customer service simpering now he's not stuck on the minimum wage, and he knows full well that the family hasn't got anything interesting to rob anymore.
rufus scrimgeour/lord voldemort
inherently canonically plausible.
we know from half-blood prince that voldemort has a direct line to the minister, because he contacts fudge to threaten terrorist atrocities [slay!] and i think we can all see this devolving into late night filth.
elphias doge/lord voldemort
hot! they meet at a book club for the life and lies of albus dumbledore and end up passionately kissing after a heated debate about whether rita was right to describe dumbledore as "good at transfiguration".
gilderoy lockhart/lord voldemort
lockhart's tell-all book - double-penetration with dictators - is the prophet's number one best-seller for a full year.
gilderoy lockhart/james potter/lord voldemort
flopping. they're all pillow princesses.

Rewatching Sympathy for the Devil
Welcome to “Sexy Dom Murder Cas and Unhinged Possibly Queer Expert German Cuckoo Clock Repairmen: A Supernatural Rewatch Blog” with Lor and Mace!
Up today, s5e1: Sympathy for the Devil
Luci anesti and the boys are left reeling from poor Sammy’s massive fail. But while they’re struggling to navigate this new phase in their brotherly relationship, the hits just keep on coming: Bobby, while possessed, plays on Sam’s sense of self-loathing, and then Dean finds out that *he’s* the sword of Michael, meant to become his vessel in the Final Battle. He gives the asshat angels a big NOPE and is trying to deal with the immediate and violent fallout from that decision when Cas swoops in with his sexy dom voice and rescues them. Meanwhile, back at the Satan Ranch, Luci is busy gaslighting his own potential vessel. It’s about to get real, y’all.
[and we begin:]
Lor:
many many guitar chords
Mace:
HA!
Lor:

Mace:

Lor:

Mace:

Lor:
"you listen to me, boy" oh now Dean's REALLY not gonna do anything you say
Mace:

Lor:
"I learned that from my friend Cas you son of a bitch"
"supernatural methadone"
Mace:

Lor:

Lor:

Mace:

HAHAHAHA
Lor:

Mace:

Oh SAMMY. THAT FACE.

Mace:

Lor:
DEAN SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER
Mace:

Lor:

mmm. five?
Mace:

Lor:
LOLOLOLOLOL
Mace:
MY FAVORITE MEG
Lor:
YES
GET YOUR FILTHY LIPS OFF OF DEAN
Lor:
ooooof. Poor Dean always having to talk possessed people he loves out of killing him
oh Nick. this is where you call a friend, buddy
Mace:
yeah
Lor:
friends don't let friends get gaslit into saying yes to Lucifer
Mace:
poor Sammy. he really needs some comforting in this ep
Lor:
he really does
and I know this is exactly what Bobby would want them to do, but I hate that they have to leave him alone in the hospital
Mace:
yeah
Lor:
"oh thank god, the angels are here" DEAN
Mace:
HAHAHAHA
Lor:
oh Dean
"it's you, chucklehead"
Mace:

Mace:

simpering wad of insecurity and self-loathing. that’s a little on the nose
Lor:
THE ONLY ANGEL ALLOWED TO SPEAK TRUTH TO DEAN IS CAS
because he is Dean's shield

Mace:
HAHAHA
Lor:
"sure. naturally. could you do me a favor, there, Satan" haaaaaahahahahaha
Mace:
YESYESYES I LOVE HIM
Lor:
so if Nick is also a vessel for Luci, does that mean that Sam and Dean are related to him somehow?
Mace:
yeah I’ve wondered that before
Lor:
actor is a real asshat but he does an AMAZING job at this
Mace:
he is?
Lor:
yeeeah
Mace:
what’d he do?
Lor:
well he's BIG into Ayn Rand
Mace:
Aha. enough said, then.
Lor:
yeaaaah
Mace:
what a putz.
Lor:
ooooh Bobby
Mace:
maybe nick is just a vessel on the level of Cas’s vessel, esp since he doesn’t last long before he starts breaking down
Lor:
"screw him, you'll be fine" I LOVE YOU DEAN
Mace:
YES
Lor:
yeah, that's true. the vessel falls apart fairly fast
"they can find their own planet" lololol DAD GAVE IT TO US, NOT THEM NYAAH
Mace:
a GED and a give-em-hell attitude. ADORABLE
Lor:
"a GED and a give em hell attitude"
YES
"it's been said"
Mace:
YES
oh Bobby. good on you
Lor:
"that was the demon talking"
YES
SO MUCH BETTER THAN JOHN
Mace:
omg that Sammy smile with the dimple
he is KILLING ME
Lor:
YES
"I'll fight. I'll fight to the last man." oh, hon
Mace:
both of these boys need therapy so hard
Lor:
RIGHT?!
Lor:
I hate when they get all grrr and can't get on the same page, but I do like this representation of the idea that sometimes you understand but still can't get past it
Mace:
yeah
although the Sam Girl in me thinks Dean’s being just a smidge of a whiny lil bitch here
Lor:
sigh
I AM SHOCKED
SHOCKED I SAY
Mace:
HAAAAAAHAHAHAHA

𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠: dad!matt x fem!reader
𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬: none
𝐚/𝐧: i loved this req smmmm i live for dad matt. he's just such a sweetheart cutie pie he would be such a good dad :( anyways i hope u all enjoy and ty to anon for requesting!
xoxo ₊˚⊹ ୨ৎ
─────────── · · ౨ৎ · · ───────────
-dad!matt who would 1000% be a girl dad, no questions asked. i could see him having either twin girls or one older boy and a younger girl.
-dad!matt who definitely spoils his kids rotten, always trying to go above and beyond for them. you try to get him to stop, or at least slow it down, afraid your kids may become rude or ungrateful, but matt isn’t worried. he knows you two raised amazing kids.
-dad!matt who would genuinely be the most supporting dad ever, putting his kids and you needs before his. he wants his kids to try everything, and is their number one cheerleader through it all. dance? ice hockey? hell, competitive bowling? matt is cheering on his kids through everything.
-dad!matt who, if he has a girl, is fully committing to playing dress up. he lets his daughters do anything to him. paint his nails, put bows in his hair, even putting on those plastic princess slippers, matt is doing it all the the absolute max.
-dad!matt who after having kids, he finds that his schedule became 100x busier than it was before. nonetheless, he is still cutting out time for you everyday, reminding you that you’re still his wife. every so often, he’ll get nick or chris to take the kids for the weekend so he can spend time alone with you.
-dad!matt who you can’t convince me wouldn’t sing to his kids. he’s not exactly winning american idol, but he would often hum or sing quietly to his kids as he would rock them when they were babies. this turned into an everyday thing, now being told “daddy sing t’me please” every time he picks his kids up.
-dad!matt who has twins, and finds it extremely easy to individualize them from a young age, reminding them both that they are their own person. he knows how it felt to be lumped with his brothers growing up and he doesn’t want his twins to feel the same. he is especially a big believer in getting his kids to be expressive of themselves and to be themselves.
-dad!matt who would be the most loving and caring dad to his kids no matter what. at the end of the day, they’ll always be his babies and he would do absolutely anything for them.
