Is your little handheld steam cleaner still holding up? Thinking of getting one myself but wondering what kind of lifespan it has.

It is! Mind you, I don't use it super often except during November when I'm steam-cleaning like, grease off the stove or gunk off the bathroom floor. But yeah, hasn't failed me yet. (For new readers it's the Bissel Steam Shot.)

I will say if you're planning to use it a lot, I'd go with one that has a different trigger -- with the one I have, you have to hold the trigger down the entire time you're expelling steam, and it requires a bit of grip strength. I often find myself with soreness in my shoulders and forearms after using it. I'd go with one that's either a push-button, so requires less strength, or one that has a trigger-lock so you can push the trigger down and lock it in place. That won't work for long periods because it needs time to build up steam pressure in the tank, but it'd still be worth it. But yeah, no complaints about Bissell's durability or stamina, it's a good little workhorse and has been dropped several times without suffering.

Harper's home was nothing notable. It wasn't clean but it wasn't dirty, not big or small, nowhere that would stand out. It was comfortable for a single person and little else, which was more than enough for him. The entryway had an air of loneliness about it. He spent so little time in his own residence due to overworking that the rooms didn't even smell of him. If anything, the entire place smelled like pine from the last time he'd hired a cleaner to ensure dust hadn't gathered. That was weeks ago though. It was probably time he called someone else to dust and clean it again.

He sighed as he dropped his things in front of the door in an organized pile so he'd remember to grab them on his way out tomorrow. Then, having left his profession at the door, he stepped into the house proper and made his way toward the living room.

As soon as he stepped on the one floorboard that always squeaked louder than all the others, he could hear the sound of nails scraping against hard plastic along with excited barking and yipping. 

It was nice to be greeted when he got home for once. He hadn't realized just how pleasant it would be to keep a dog around until he'd brought one home.

“Shh,” he called softly as he stepped into the living room where a large cage inhabited not by a canine but a fully grown human sat. “You'll bother the neighbors.”

The barking turned into whining, but they quieted down almost immediately.

Harper lifted his fingers to the cage door, allowing them to sniff at all of the scents he'd picked up throughout the day. As soon as they recognized his unique smell, they began to timidly lick his hand.

“Good puppy.”

No one would care if an orphan, especially a bratty one that skipped classes and got into fights, went missing. In fact, it had become commonplace for them to disappear without a word and reappear just as suddenly all the worse for wear. Usually, he wouldn't care – shouldn't care – about what his patients got up to in their private time, but it was clear that their physical and mental health was starting to decline. Whenever they returned, they were half mad and rambling about one thing or another; wolves and hunters in the forest, massive birds descending upon them in the moors, specters in the lake – he took note of that last one. It was clear to Harper that his patient was suffering from delusions and traditional therapy would do little to help them – he'd tried, but a padded cell did little to comfort them. 

“Have you considered that you may simply be under an increased amount of stress and that's why you're making up these stories?” 

He had said it so casually and confidently that they almost believed every word out of his mouth despite their own experience. 

“I recommend some more therapy. One that will allow you to relax.”

His words were soothing as they wormed their way into their mind.

“Perhaps a form of role play where you won't be required to think or worry about a thing. It will be like an extended vacation.”

Everything started to fade around them as if their brain had simply stopped processing stimuli.

“It would be rather liberating to live without all the pressures of society or such an active imagination.”

It did sound nice…

“Pets, for example. Pets don't have to worry about anything other than being loved and cared for.”

A pet…

“You would make a good dog. You are a dog.”

They were only a dog…

That wasn't right! They tried to shake his words out of their head and recall themselves before he buried their ego somewhere they couldn't read ch it anymore, but their humanity was already slipping under the fog of his words. It was too late for them to deny that his words were their truth.

“I'll see to you personally to ensure you receive the best care.”

Now Harper was kneeling in front of the cage where he kept them and fiddled with the padlock that kept the door closed – for their safety of course. They obediently sat inside and watched as he turned the dial, wagging their back side so aggressively that the tail shoved into their ass flopped back and forth excitedly. As soon as he managed to finally release the lock and open the cage, they bounded out, jumping on top of him and licking at his face. Despite their poor behavior, he rubbed their head and watched with delight as they leaned into his scratches. 

While they sought his affection, he  took the opportunity to let his gaze rake over their body. As a dog, they didn’t need clothing – save for their collar and tags – so their breasts were on full display and bouncing whichever way gravity and physics pleased. They were magnificent to watch. Almost as magnificent as their soft cock that was inadvertently rubbing against his slowly growing erection through his slacks.

He chose to ignore it.

“Were you good while I was out?” He didn't expect an answer from a dog, but he liked to pretend they understood him.

The way they looked at him almost made it seem like they understood the question for a brief moment, but then they leaped off of him and went running down the hall on all fours.

Harper could hear them whining as they began to paw at the front door.

He sighed and groaned as he picked himself up from the floor, feeling the day's aches and pains in his bones as he moved. 

Keeping a dog was not for those who wanted to spend their free time relaxing, since they needed far more attention and stimulation than something like a cat. He liked his puppy though. Specifically, he liked the way they depended on him and sought his approval and affection. He liked the way their expression dropped if he was ever upset with them. He would like it if they were more obedient and less willful though. They were still in the stages where basic training was needed, hence the cage to keep them from causing mischief while he was out.

However, being kept in a cage for so long meant they had needs that hadn't yet been seen to. That's why, as he walked up to them, he wasn't surprised to find them shifting back and forth in front of the door.

“Sit,” he commanded and they listened so he could latch a leash onto the collar around their neck.

As soon as he opened the door to let them out, they began to dash ahead. The leach pulled taut and forced them to stay within a certain proximity to him, however. Harper was in no rush to let them get their way and took his time to lock the front door behind him, purposefully ignoring their whimpering and whining and begging until he was ready to move.

“Come.”

He ordered them to his side and they reluctantly did, their knees and palms scraping against the hard ground as they dragged them defiantly. Clearly they needed some more reinforcement when it came to walking beside him, but they were getting better about knowing their place. That did not change the fact that they tried to bound ahead every now and again or they blood that was clearly rushing through them as they attempted to run. It didn’t change that they were exposed and exposure, as he had taught them when they were still merely a willful patient, meant they should be excited; an excitement that made itself obvious in the way they became erect as they walked on all fours and would, occasionally, stop at his feet and look up at him pleadingly, which he promptly ignored.

He walked calmly down the street, carefully keeping them at his side and gently pulling on their collar every time they ran too far ahead or tried to act up. He ignored the rest of his neighbors that were also out. They were going about their day the same as him and required no further attention. None of them seemed to be paying any mind to his dog. From a distance, perhaps they couldn’t tell the difference between a dog person and a real human who thought they were a dog. Or maybe they were playing along just much as he was so they could enjoy the beautiful body on display before them. It was enchanting to watch them trot alongside him with their tail swaying behind them, their dick, pussy, and tits on full display for any who cared to look.

However, that consideration was not given by all people. Dogs were, after all, beloved by many and it was perfectly normal for someone to want to interact with them. That’s why he didn’t think much of it when a woman – one he vaguely recognized as his one of his neighbors and more readily recognized as a different patient – came up to him with her eyes transfixed on his pup.

“Is that your dog? Can I pet them?” The woman leaned in close, reaching out her hand before Harper could answer.

He didn't have the opportunity to give one either as his dog leaned forward. He expected them to sniff at her hand, but instead they opened their mouth and ran their tongue around her fingers. They sealed their lips around her digits and sucked at each one without concern for the depraved, sloppy sounds they made.

Unbeknownst to her, or maybe she was aware and didn’t care, Harper could see two small puddles forming just below where they sat; one from the juices dripping out of their cunt and the other from the beads of cum leaking from their cock. It was expected that a dog so free of inhibitions would become aroused if given the proper stimuli. He did not fault them for what was a natural reaction.

He also could not fault them when their less than innocent licking led them to jump onto the woman, grabbing onto the arm that had been outstretched for them to hold themselves up as they pressed against her, and began to frantically hump her leg. Perhaps if she had waited for a response, he would have warned her that his dog was easily excitable and that petting them wasn’t a good idea. As things stood, however, she had pressed forward without their owner’s approval and was currently dealing with the consequences of that action. Of course, he could always yank at their leash to warn them to behave themselves, but he would not fault his puppy for doing what came naturally. If anything, he was rather proud of the progress they’d made to distance themselves from any notion of the societal norms they’d once followed.

Plus, he couldn’t pretend that he didn’t enjoy the sight of their hard cock rubbing against her, leaving stains in the cloth wherever their leaking slit touched. Nor could he deny that he enjoyed the way their tongue rolled out of their mouth as they ignored the way the woman yelled for them to get off of her. If only they had run into a more accommodating neighbor, he would have allowed the scene to go on for longer. Alas, not everyone was ready for such liberation.

He pulled back harshly on their collar.

They yelped as they were sent tumbling backward and off the woman, looking up at Harper with a mixture of questioning, betrayal, and apology once they regained their footing and trotted over to his side.

“I apologize, Ma’am,” Harper said with his most professional voice. “They’re only a puppy, so I’m still teaching them not to jump on others.”

She looked like she wanted to argue, but a small part of her must have either not been in the mood for confrontation or had realized that she was in the wrong. Instead, she merely brushed at her pants, doing little in the way of removing the stains now embedded in the fabric, and huffed. “See that you do.”

“Thank you for your understanding.” 

He smiled outwardly, but made a mental note of how flustered she appeared to be – surely the first sign that she was more of a degenerate than she allowed herself to let on. Perhaps someday she would change her mind and allow herself to indulge in such depravities as being mounted in public. She certainly didn’t seem appalled by his dog’s presence based on the way her eyes lingered on their nakedness even after they had settled next to him.

He didn’t give much attention to such speculations after she stormed off though. Instead, he was fully focused on his bratty puppy – just as much of a brat as they’d been when human. Although, he wasn’t upset with them. Instead, he reached down to pet the top of their head.

He’d always told them to enjoy it when people looked at them and to want to do naughty things, but they had never listened to him the way he wanted them to. Now that they were merely a dog, it appeared whatever barrier had been holding them back seemingly vanished.

“Good puppy, but I think she would rather have mounted you.” At least, that was his guess based on how she still stared at them despite her apparent anger. “We should go home so I can teach you that trick.”

Harper wasn’t sure how much of their humanity was left in that head of theirs, especially when it came to understanding the words coming out of his mouth, but they seemed to understand his tone at the very least and he was anything but upset with them. That seemed to be enough to change their subservient pout into excited barking. They got onto their hands and knees and happily ran back toward the direction they had come from, stopping only once the leash went tight to wait for him to catch up.

Normally, it was that sort of behavior that he would discourage since he was supposed to be the one in charge but he was as eager to get home as they were, so he decided to ignore it this time. He simply couldn’t ignore that watching them had made him grow hard in his pants or that their sweet little cunt and bouncing cock weren’t continuing to tempt him. When they got home, he would gladly teach them what it meant to present themselves and beg to be touched rather than mindlessly humping whoever they wished.

Short fic (924 words) about an older post-canon Electra overheating and cuddling with Volta to regulate it. PG-13, sensual but nothing happens beyond snuggles.

Characters based on pre-2018 versions, goes into some personal lore about post-canon Electra moving more into freight duties (ft. my pretty contrarian physical depictions of Electra as short and beefy)

A distant rushing noise down the track grew into a hum and then a vacuum cleaner roar.  Electra was approaching.  

The loud whine of fans and decades-old electrical equipment was replaced by the higher squeal of brakes. Electra came to a smooth, gradual stop, handling the line of coal trucks like they were full of fine china.

“You’re such an old priss”

“I used to work top-of-the-line passenger trains, I’ve got higher standards than a lot of the rough and tumble freighters you’re used to.”

It always looked weird seeing former glamorous express engines on freight services, but it wasn’t a rarity at all.  It had happened to all kinds of late-era steam engines, various Nez Cassé models, and perhaps most infamously, the GG1s.  

It happened to a lot of older engines when they got outsped, a lot of them were beefy enough to be very capable of working slower, heavier trains with a change in gearing.  And Electra was downright archetypal.  They resisted it for years, but warmed up to the idea when they realized just how much of an advantage they had, being faster than most dedicated freight engines, and stronger than a lot of others with their speed.  And surprisingly, it made them a lot calmer and smoother with less pressure and more to gain by being courteous and pleasant.  It was a way to make up for being teased by their rougher coworkers for wearing falsies and looking a little too cute and “old world”.  And some quietly appreciated how… oddly refined and gentle they were for their position.  

Electra uncoupled from the line of trucks and eased along, barely moving beyond a casual lope.  There wasn’t much point in rushing and coming to harsh stops and starts anymore.  Schedule wasn’t as tight and they were just getting old and easily tired.  They just didn’t want to expend more energy than necessary.  They came to a stop in front of Volta.

Their fans roared as they panted, exhausted and overheated.  This kind of work hardly challenged them at all, but they always struggled with temperature regulation.  Rheostat braking and increasing age and inefficient circuits meant a lot of waste heat.  Their sleek, glamorous face had a notable flushed tint.  It had hardly changed since their racing days, just some creasing around their eyes and mouth.   

But below the neck, Electra had changed a lot.  They eased into her lap wordlessly,  flattening their body against her frosty form, searing hot, the air rippling slightly around them.  They were shorter than her, but much denser and heavier.   Still bunchy and elegantly arcing, but much thicker and stronger than they used to be.  A huge, forward slanted chest, dramatically curving arms, a well-nourished stockiness to their dense middle.   And of course the big beautiful butt and enormous thighs you’d expect on a heavy freight engine.  Oversized, full, and rounded but much leaner than they looked, just a bit of extra padding softening them.  It felt wonderful when they shifted and scooted around, tensing and flexing that powerful rear end and pushing their cushy middle against her. 

There was something so gloriously idealistic about electric freighters.  But heat management… wasn’t one of those things.  Being that thick and compact made it hard for Electra to shed heat, and she could feel them desperately wrapping around her to cool off.  

They nuzzled a cheek against her chest as she stroked and massaged their back.  They were just melting into her, bwirring contentedly.  Some claimed it was hard to understand electric engines, but it really wasn’t, they made all kind of noises and could be very expressive.  Their fans began to slow a little as their temperature fell.  Heat radiated off their core, being sucked away by her ice-cold form. Their hands were always hot too- a sharp contrast to her clammy ones.  

Electra gave her a comfortable squint as they cuddled.  All kinds of attachment issues from being poorly socialized early on, but eager to curl up with anyone who let them because they felt no shame in it.  It could get downright annoying… but when you wanted that, it was nice to always have someone to be your teddy bear.  Even when that someone weighed twice as much as you…

She wiped some of her condensation under their chin, helping them cool further.  Just a little convex under there.  Their face was naturally round and fleshy even when lean, and got chubby and sweet with even a little extra heft on them.  Electra gave a happy chirr and she massaged them more.  They always loved having their head rubbed and shed a lot of heat from there.  Thumbing their full cheeks and squishing their fat apples.  Stroking the soft, flat structure of their nose and brow.  Scratching behind their ears and pinching the roll on the back of their head.  They just kept humming in delight the more she did.  And it was hard to stop squishing their face like a stress ball.  

Their fans had quieted to a reasonable level as they got comfortable again.  Ready to scoot off.  She could feel their weight shift as their muscles tensed.  She gave them a playful swat on the butt and offered to squeeze them closer.  They didn’t have to go.  Electra wrapped their arms back around her again in acceptance and nuzzled their weight back against her.  She hadn’t done this in a while and other engines rarely accepted this kind of affection.  It was just like the good old days, in a way.

A Western Summer

Duck was talking with Cassandra on the docks as night fell, the last rays of light glinting off her brass, when he decided to ask about the storm.

She was quiet for a moment.

“...I almost called for Screech.” She admitted quietly. “I didn't because…”

Duck understood. “It would have felt like abandoning your line.”

“The shed we were in was destroyed.” She revealed quietly, “We were unhurt, but we were stuck in the rain till morning. It was miserably wet.” 

“That's why Samatha was so angry with the cleaner.” Duck realized.

“...She and Nicole were the ones to reach us first. When they saw the rubble of the shed…”

“She thought the worst.*

Cassandra shifted uncomfortably, “it's probably why they had no issues transferring here. They were pretty badly shaken.”

“And you?” Duck asked.

Cassandra considered the question, “it's a bad memory…but that's about it. I was startled this morning. I doubt I would have been dreaming about it except I’d been thinking about my line.”

‘You're ready to go home.” Duck guessed, doing his best to hide his disappointment.

“No.” Cassandra said simply.

She smiled at his surprised look. “I talked with my crew. I don't want to go back until the damage is repaired. We agreed that being alone on the line would...it would not go well.” 

She paused hesitating, “I don't know why but the last few years are getting to me. I'm not handling my duties as well as I used to. They agree that I need a break, and being left alone on my branchline is the opposite of that.”

“You've been running for twenty years.” Duck said gently, “you were always going to fall if something didn't let up.”

Cassandra gave a bitter laugh, “Why is it a problem now? Not when steam fell? Why not then?! It was so much worse!”

Duck gently buffered up to her, “because you haven't been allowed to stop.” He said quietly, “that is our failing. We should have known you were not bearing this weight as well as you looked. We should have stepped in sooner.”

“They need me!” She said hopelessly, “they need Caomhnóir. I can't fail them, not now.” A tear slipped down her cheek

Duck tilted his head, “but do they need you the same way?”

“What?

“When steam fell we needed the Lady's Champion to be a warrior.” He said seriously, “we needed an engine that was willing to go toe to toe with the other railway. To prove she was fighting for us. That she had not abandoned her children.” He gently pressed closer, “these younger engines already know that, because you've already proven that. They will be fine if you send others in your stead.”

“What if they can't reach them in time?” She protested, but he could tell she was wavering.

“Then send Screech.” He said seriously, “I have no doubt she would enjoy the chance to terrify everyone.”

Cassandra barked a startled laugh.

“It's okay for you to fall now. We're here to catch you, I swear it to the Lady.”

“She'll hold you to that.” Cassandra warned, “she does not take oaths on her name lightly.”

“That is why I made it.” Duck said, “As long as you allow it we… I will catch you.”

Cassandra was quiet for a moment, “then after I take the train to reopen my line, you want me to come back.”

“yes.” Duck said simply, “I hated the idea of you alone in your shed.”

“I wish you had said that earlier.” She admitted, “it would have made my choice easier.”

“It was your choice, and didn't want to pressure you…I wanted you to want to stay.”

She frowned, “you're my partner. It may be my choice but you have a say.”

“I didn't know if you would want to remain together when you returned home.” He admitted.

She looked at him, “and if I hadn't?” She asked curiously.

“My vow would still stand.” He said firmly, “you will always have a berth in our sheds. No matter if you're my partner or not.”

She gently pressed back against him, “I want to stay. With you and here until my line is ready for me again.”

A/N: Hello loves! Happy Halloween, Love Y'all!

[fizzigigsimmer]

When does billy realise that Steve is just as good a ballet dancer as he is? Maybe they have different strengths and different areas they excel in but one is better than the other right? Sorry, I’ve read one too many fics where billy is better than Steve at everything and my inner Steve girl is frothing at the mouth. I love them both equally but people put Steve down too much 😔

Ooh I love this question, and I get it anon. I love Steve & Billy both for their own reasons. I think I write Steve better/get into his head easier, but that may just be my own insecurity talking. Billy holds a special place in my heart, but he’s also the character I relate most to so it’s just a different experience. Not a bad one, just not as simple. That said, it is SO WORTH THE EFFORT EVERY TIME. IDK what else to say I just love their characters, and character is a big part of why I write anything. When I plot I’m always most interested in the whys of the characters and how they will change over the course of the story, and everything else is secondary. Which is both a strength and a weakness. 🤪 I’m well aware that I can spend pages in a characters internal landscape without actually moving the plot forward.

So to actually answer your question: I don’t have the performance nailed down yet, but there’s this tentative stretch between them being rivals and deciding to be real friends where Steve is making an effort to be friendly to him and BIlly’s not certain he wants to take the olive branch; because Steve scares him. Eddie and Argyle he can keep at a friendly distance but he’s not sure he can do that with Steve, and Steve’s like “nope you’re stuck with me now just accept it.” Anyway he’s torn, until he overhears a bit of an argument Steve has with his dad and is worried about him so he follows him to the studio. Steve’s working on a some mix of combinations for class, blowing off steam and Billy’s watching him pour his heart into it and he’s just struck by it. Steve’s always been good. But that was different. That was electric. Like I can just hear him, “Where the hell have you been hiding that, Harrington?” He’s so pissy at the thought that Steve has been holding back from him. It’s like a personal insult. 😆

The beautiful thing about ballet as an art form is that it’s about telling stories with your body. That means you can know all of the rules and all of the moves, be technically perfect, and it still won’t mean you’re better than the next guy. There will always be things that physically your body can’t do quite as well as someone else’s: shapes, and float, that reads different to the viewers eyes simply because your body and your intention gives it different meaning. Knowing your body, knowing how to bend it, twist it, and push it just right to convey an emotion that your audience can actually feel requires more than just skill, but also self awareness, vulnerability, and an emotional investment on the part of the dancer. Because it’s acting. Only harder because you can’t use any words. And Steve is just better at this than Billy in the beginning. He wears his heart on his sleeve and throws himself into his performances, eager to give the people what they want, and proud of his ability to move them. He’s an expressive, open, and giving performer and a real joy to watch.

When Billy arrives at school he is better than Steve, from a technical standpoint. His technique is cleaner, he’s physically stronger and frankly he just wants it more. That’s because dance for Billy has always been higher stakes. They share a strong connection and a passion for it, but for Billy it has also been his only means of escape and feeling a sense of worth. It also connected him to his mother whom he couldn’t save or protect from the harsh realities/disappointments of their life. And you know what they say, you don’t get diamonds without pressure - so that’s where Billy is when they start. he’s a diamond in the rough and he’s as good as he is because he has to be, or risk being stuck in the same life that killed his mother and is slowly doing the same to him. But it’s a double edged sword, because he’s so focused on needing to be perfect in order to get out that he’s lost sight of everything else - the whole point of being alive in the first place. He’s closed off and walled in. He doesn’t even remember how to eat for pleasure without worrying about how it will change his body and affect his technique. He’s not living, and his dance while technically perfect lacks what the critics would call ‘inspiration’. You can’t make an audience feel what you’re too afraid to feel yourself.

Steve on the other hand doesn’t know what he wants. He’s talented, but he’s aimless and complacent. He’s grown up under the shadow of his mother’s fame as well as his father’s misogyny and subversive homophobia. In his father’s mind, dance is an okay hobby for a little boy to have while he follows his mother around, but he will have to grow up soon and take on a real man’s responsibilities. Real men don’t dance around in tights flipping their hair for a living unless they’re soft. You know?🤷🏾‍♀️ Steve’s dad won’t actually commit to “being the bad guy”. He won’t outright tell Steve to quit being a gay boy and give up dancing because that would make him a homophobic prick - instead he’ll just cut him down with snide remarks and discount all of his achievements while making it clear how disappointed he is in him. And as a result, Steve is stuck, and lazy. Too stubborn to give up the thing he loves entirely, but not confident enough in himself to own who he is and risk total rejection. The fact that he’s always been good and love and adoration has always been heaped on him in dance rooms makes it easy for him to coast, clinging to that high while on his way to his miserable life behind a desk.

Billy shakes up his world. Billy is proof positive that he won’t always be ‘the best’, that the love and attention of an audience is fickle, and he’s 1000% threatened by him. Which makes for some great initial friction, but honestly their love story is about realizing how similar they are, how good they both are, and how much they need each other. They help each other reach their best and I love that journey for them. 🥹
