I was tagged by @whumpbby for some WIP share and I’ve got a few cooking in the pot. 

I’ll pass this on to @spartanbunjess, @primeemeraldheiress, and @scandalsavagefanfic if you guys want to play along

Spoiled Lil Kitten ~ Alley Cat

“I don’t give a fuck about some damn stitches! The little bitch ain’t just sitting on his ass in some fucking bed being a lazy shit. The bitch’s got work to do, money to make.” The male voice sounded incensed, booming from the chest.

The man the voice belonged to looked just as unpleasant. A typical thug with long greasy hair, a grungy appearance, and reeking of smoke and alcohol, he was currently attempting to intimidate Leslie by looming over the older woman. The veteran doctor had dealt with her fair share of burly morons threatening violence to get their way. She had stood up to far more dangerous men. Still Bruce frowned as he took in the scene concern growing. The man had clear rage on his face bent on getting his way as Leslie met his glare without fear and strong. Her eyes blazed with a will no man could match.

The scene was sadly familiar to the clinic with pimps, dealers, and other ilk demanding their money makers be returned to the street regardless of health. Bruce had walked in on plenty of similar scenes with Leslie seeing out abusers to protect the victims.

He turned to look at the patient. Huddled behind Leslie, a tiny stick of a thing peered out obviously terrified and in poor condition. The hybrid boy looked incredibly young, far too young for what work his presumed owner would have him doing in this neighborhood. The long matted fur of his ears and tail held a peculiar light gray pattern, but Bruce’s lacking knowledge of hybrids left him unsure of what species, but he appeared feline.

Alone, But Never Again ~ Ending 1

Jason was alone in a motel in the middle of no where when he felt the first twinge in his soul. Some stupid talk show was playing on the Tv providing noise more than anything. Jason had been sitting at the table eating a meager meal of old takeout swallowed up in his own misery when he felt it. The baby bump had just barely formed, but he could feel it; could feel just the lightest pull on his soul. The action was so minuscule and yet Jason froze. Once blue eyes widened as the fork in his hand fell back into the takeout container. Tears left wet tracks down his cheeks and stung his eyes.

He spent the night huddled in a makeshift nest made in the small closet huddled into a ball and with his arms curled around his stomach.

That little spark, that tiny little tug meant that there was life inside him. For everything he fucked up and failed to be or do, he didn’t fail at this. It changed something in him that night, to know that this was real.

Jason was really pregnant and he needed to take action if he was going to give this baby the best start he could give.

Finding a reputable Omega home had been a bit difficult. Most were either underfunded, shopping markets for wealthy alphas, or would take away every right Jason had to his body and child. Single pregnant omegas always faced social pressure and prejudice. Even those who had lost their mates faced scrutiny for bearing a child alone and yet judged heavily for taking a mate too soon after their last. There were a few run by omegas that protected others and it was at one of these, Lockwood’s Home for Omegas, that he found room and board and the medical aid he would need.

Acid Green Desires

Deep below the earth rest a Lazarus Pit, one of the last still accessible to Ra’s al Ghul, former head of the League of Shadows. The green tinted reflections danced over the rock ceiling. Torches illuminated the entirety of the chamber. The last of Ra’s trusted guards stood at attention along the rim of the chamber. The near silence would almost be eerie if Jason hadn’t grown accustom to the stillness of the assassins. Instead, he focused on Ra’s moving to the center of the pool.

The man was showing his age; body worn and hunched with deep wrinkles. It was perhaps past time for Ra’s to dip into the pit. Jason shifted where he sat perched on the ledge of the pool. The many bangles and chains adorning his body jangled as he moved drawing Ra’s attention. The ancient glanced back at his prized mate dressed in luxurious silks and decorated with gold and jewels that glinted in the fire light. The near sheer harem pants hung low on his waist exposing just a hint of hipbone with the golden belt clinging to him. The completely sheer crop top prominently displayed his pert nipples and full breasts. Black locks twisted in loose curls.

His mate made for a sight wearing the al Ghul colors, but he was no simple concubine. Jason was mate and wife to Ra’s al Ghul, the only family that remained loyal to him in the end.

Though his mate made for a tempting sight, the ancient turned away and prepared to submerge himself. Jason watched Ra’s disappear beneath the acid green waters. The surface of the water settled growing still as Ra’s lingered under water. Jason lowered his chin to sit on his bent knee waiting in the silence when Ra’s erupted from the depths with a roar of pure power. The alpha had been restored to his prime. Droplets glided over sculpted muscles, highlighting every aspect that drew others in. Jason stared unashamedly at the naked form of his mate. His eyes roved over unmarred skin shifting over rippling muscles as the alpha admired his own form.

Leather & Lace ~ Chapter 5

An incessant buzzing disrupted the morning quiet, rousing Jason from his sleep. He groaned in annoyance and turned to burrow into his pillow. The warm body beside him shifted as his companion stirred as well.

“Sorry Jay.” Dick’s voice sounded gruff and rough with sleep. Jason hummed as the alpha reached over him to stop the buzzing and then settled in beside him.

Dick appeared to drift back to sleep near instantly as he didn’t stir with Jason rolling onto his back. Jason groaned as he stretched, arching his back and pressing his head back into the soft fluff of the pillows. He could feel sunlight peeking in through the drapes and hummed once more in contentment at the soft warmth surrounding him. A mewling sound escaped him when his body went boneless and allowed him to sink back into the mattress and blink his eyes open fully. Wakefulness came to him far faster than Dick as Jason twisted to look at the alpha.

Dark ebony locks fell over his face as he stretched out on his stomach. Dick smothered his pillow between his head and his arms. Jason’s eyes followed the cut of the alpha’s muscles along lean, tantalizing lines. The peaceful expression on his face was serene with Dick so very relaxed and unguarded. It’s been a while since Jason had the privilege of this sight; since he had woken up cuddled against Dick safe and happy. Jason leaned down, placing a warm kiss to his broad shoulder and smiling at the pleased sigh he received. He continued his trail up to Dick’s throat.

55. “You broke it” fluff/angst prompt for Brio

#55 “You broke it.”

Set in The Centre and Circumference / Domestic Fic universe

He’s still reading through the last of what must be fifteen texts from Elizabeth (she’s gotta work late at the dealership, so he’s on parenting duty. It should be no big thing, and he really isn’t sure whether it’s some leftover bullshit from that dumbass ex of hers, or if she really does forget that he’s been a parent almost as long as she has, but she’s blowing up his phone like he’s ghosting her again) when he hears the crash from upstairs and the pounding of little feet on the floor above him.

Rocking his jaw, he glances down towards the dining room where Kenny and Danny are poring over their homework, both tilting their heads up at the sound, and Rio’s only just starting towards the stairs when he hears another set of feet running in the opposite direction and then a loud cry breaking through the quiet.

“You broke it!”

It’s enough to make him toss his phone (the non-work one) to Kenny, telling him to follow his mom’s instructions for dinner (and sure, Rio’s man enough to admit he’s not the best cook, but he knows how to throw a frozen pizza in the oven, Elizabeth, damn), and takes the stairs two at a time towards the kids’ rooms.

He’s not the sorta guy who likes to go into situations blind, but he’s also been around the traps long enough to know it’s best to keep expectations to a minimum, lest those notions get you sprung, but still. He can’t exactly say he’s surprised to see Marcus and Jane peering nervously out from behind the former’s bedroom door, while Emma’s neighbouring one sits wide open.

Sending an arched eyebrow back to Marcus and Jane, who quickly vanish, closing the door behind them, Rio steps into Emma’s room instead.

The theme thing still gets him, and Emma’s room in particular is an eyesore – all that sugar and spice shit – unicorn pillows and hanging fairy lights and a bright row of smilin’ Barbies, and Jesus, he didn’t even know they made pink glitter wall paint, but the sparkle catching his eye is unmistakable.

In the centre of it all is Emma, sitting on a pink fluffy rug, her musical jewellery box blown open beside her, and the second she sees him, she gives him those big, Bambi eyes that may as well be her mom’s. She holds out her hands towards him, and it’s only then that he sees the tiny porcelain ballerina from her music box, held as tenderly as a baby bird, and shit, he thinks, clocking the shattered legs of the thing, and the anxious red of Emma’s cheeks.

“I hate them,” she wails. “They break everything.”

And hell, he always figured she was the most astute of Elizabeth’s kids, but she gets no bonus points for realising her sister and Marcus have made a miniature demolition team. Crouching down in front of her, he looks at the ballerina in her hands, resisting the impulse to tear it from her grip and get rid of the thing – he’s had enough experience with shards of porcelain to know they’re a bitch to get out of cuts at the best of times after all.

“Lemme see,” he tells her, but Emma jerks her hands back to her chest, distrustful, like she knows what he’s thinking, and like he said – astute.

Before he can say anything else, a petulant voice sounds behind him:

“We didn’t mean to. We just wanted to put her in the show.”

He tears his eyes away from Emma long enough to look back at her open door, Jane and Marcus hovering there, Jane’s chin sticking up defiantly, while Marcus looks about ready to vanish back down the hallway at the first hint of reprimand. Rio gives them a distinctly unimpressed look.

“Are we talkin’ to you right now?” he asks, and he ain’t even all that mad, but it’s still enough to send the two of them bolting back down the hall to Marcus’ room. 

“Can you fix her?” Emma asks when he turns back towards her, holding her hands up, and he nudges slightly at the figurine, another sliver of porcelain crumbling off her hip. He sighs, looking up to meet Emma’s desperate look.

“I don’t think so, darlin’,” he says, and Emma’s bottom lip quivers. She curls her fingers around the ballerina, clutching her in two hands at her chest, her breaths starting to come out faster, and he’s seen enough bouts of hysterics to know one when he sees it coming. Reaching over, he grabs Emma by the elbows, pulling her up against him and walking her over to her bed. He’s barely sat down before she collapses into tears against his chest, her little body wracked with sobs.

Rio sighs, scooting further back in her bed, shoving some of her unicorn cushions out of his way in the process. He’s not sure if it’s the movement, or the contact, but something he’s done seems to change her mood, the red of her cheeks spilling back across her neck in childish fury.

“I should break their things,” she hisses through her tears, her forehead creasing in anger, and Rio hums, still shoving cushions off the bed (and damn, him and Elizabeth need to have a conversation about how much money she’s spending on ugly, decorative pillows).

“Yeah? You think so? That gonna get you your girl back?”

And sure, maybe he could’ve been a little more sensitive, he thinks, looking at her look up at him, the anger giving way to that wobbly bottom lip again, but she shakes her head no, and at least it steered her off the path she was heading down (and shit, she must get that from someone else in the family, because Rio doesn’t think anything he’s ever said has gotten Elizabeth to go where he’s wanted her to).

Lifting Emma out of his arms, he settles her back among the mountain of stuffed animals at the head of her bed (and more damn cushions), reaching down to uncurl her hands from where they’re still clenched tightly around the broken porcelain. She’s held onto her so tightly some of it has started to cut at her skin, and he frowns, thumbing at a few of the bigger shards. He wants to get the thing in the bin, clean her up, but from the look on her face, she ain’t quite there yet.

He sits back on the bed, looking over at her.

“You think they meant to break her?”

The question is enough to make Emma blink in surprise, her mouth hanging open as she looks across her room to the open bedroom door, and Rio follows his gaze, unsurprised to see Marcus and Jane’s heads duck out of sight, their fingers still curled around the frame. He resists the urge to roll his eyes, looking back at Emma instead. After a second, she looks back down at her hands, shaking her head.

“They’re playing circus and they wanted a dancer, and they said mine was the prettiest,” she squares her shoulders a little as she says it, proud almost, before that house of cards falls in on her. “And that the box was slippery.”

Rio glances back at the box, still hanging open on the floor of her bedroom, a mess of clip on earrings and plastic bangles spilling out of it. A few have been shoved back in, haphazard, and he doesn’t have to have heard it to know that it was Marcus and Jane, trying to fix it before Emma found them. He makes a production out of considering her words, turning them over thoughtfully – judge, juror, executioner, settling on a verdict.

He hums a little, before glancing back at Emma.

“Sounds like it was an accident, huh?”

And he might not have been surprised by much in all of this, but he is in the way that Emma stares back at him, her gaze steady even if her eyes are watery, and damn, he wonders if this is what Elizabeth means when she tells him she feels like she’s talkin’ to him half the time she’s talkin’ to Marcus. Emma sucks in a wet, still-teary breath.

“It’s not fair,” she whimpers, and Rio nods.

“Nah, it ain’t,” he agrees. “But y’know, when things that are important to you break, or when they get broken, it don’t take away the good times you did have with ‘em. And when you put the broken thing away,” or throw it out, he thinks dryly. “It leaves room for somethin’ else to have new good times with.”

Emma gives him a look, leaning back amongst a large, gold-sequined stuffed owl, like she isn’t quite sure she understands, and he shrugs.

“Look at me and your mama, yeah? Me and Marcus’ mom, we broke, and your mama and your dad, they broke too, right?”

Cautiously, Emma nods, and Rio holds out his hand, like this is an example.

“And ‘cos we did, it meant there was room for me and your mama, and all of us here, and this house, and I know Marcus ain’t your favourite person right now, but I know he loves havin’ all you guys for brothers and sisters. He got that ‘cause of somethin’ that broke.”

Emma tilts her head at that, her forehead furrowing thoughtfully as she looks at him before her gaze goes back down to the ballerina in her hands. She rocks her head to the other side, chews on her lip before she says:

“I like having a little brother.”

“See? Just like I said. And I know you love your girl there, but maybe she’s leavin’ room for somethin’ else too,” he leans forwards a bit, moving his hand to nudge her own, careful to look her in the eye as he says. “You mind if I take her?”

He’s sure she gets what he’s asking when a couple more tears streak down her face, but after a minute, she nods, letting Rio scrape the shards of porcelain from her hands. He shoves them as gently as he can into the pocket of his jeans, before grabbing Emma’s hands in its stead, carefully checking them over for any leftover shards, or any cut that might have broken through. When he finds none, he moves to get up, planning to get her downstairs to homework with her brothers while he deals with Jane and Marcus, but before he gets the chance, Emma is crawling back into his lap, wrapping her arms tight around his neck.

“I like having a you too,” she whispers, more than a little shyly, and Rio pauses, surprised, before he drops a hand to her head.

“Yeah?”

She nods against his shoulder, his hand brushing down her hair.

“You ain’t so bad,” he tells her, and she giggles into his shoulder leaning back and tapping her nose.

“I’m the best one,” she tells him conspiratorially, and when he hears Jane start yelling in the next room and the fire alarm go off downstairs in the kitchen, he thinks she’s probably right.

(Or, at least, he does until she insists on spending the next three nights in their bed mourning the damn thing, taking his spot against Elizabeth’s chest, but that feels like a whole other thing.)

Royal Pains

HOLY SHIT YOU GUYS this is one of @ashestoashesvvi ‘s crowning achievements!! Have you ever wondered what it would be like if Steel Panther invaded the KISSteriaverse? No? WELL TOO BAD HERE IT IS ANYWAY!! So in this Michael Starr is Vince’s cousin and a constant thorn in his side. This time the Panther boiz assume to role of party crashers! Placed under a cut for length and dirtiness~

“W- We’re gonna what now?”

“We’re gonna bring some heavy ass metal to my favorite blond richy bitchy cuz! It’s gonna so fuckin’ rock, man!” Michael declared, jumping on top of their pool table in the middle of the room. He downed his open beer in one go and tossed it down on the floor when he was done with a pumped grin. “Woo!! Alright, bitches, c'mon, who’s game to party hard tonight?”

Lexxi blinked, and blinked. Then blinked again. Then he looked back at his mirror, shaking his head and fluffing up his hair. “Ahh, ahhhhh, you can go, but… but…” he paused, rolling the words around in his head. Beside him, Satchel just rolled his eyes as his bandmate’s mind was as lost as ever. “But I- I don’t think I’m for it after we jus- just snorted aaaaall, and I- I mean aaaall, the fuckin’ coke we had, dude. Kinda just wanna stay here and pet my turtle– you guys kno- know my turtle, yeah?”

“Lex, no damn turtle talk.”

“No one wants to hear where you shoved him up.”

“Guys!!” Michael groaned, “Duuuuudes, focus! Party time! Yeah or fuck yeah?”

Stix sighed, flopping down next to Satchel and Lexxi on their demolished, once lavish, black leather couch. “Eh, why the fuck not? It’s been a while since we had some fun, man.”

“Yeah, a whole fuckin’ six hours.” Michael nodded, grinning ear to ear. “C'mon, Lex, don’t you want to have some fun this weekend?”

“I- If by fun, you mean work on my highlights and fu- fuckin’ update our fashion style, then yeah. Ahhh….. What was I– Oh, yeah, just fuckin’, other than that, I- I don’t feel like going to some big party.” he said. He winced when Michael pouted then came running up to him, putting his head on his shoulder, whining and hugging onto his arm.

“Come on, please?”

“Bitch, you’re getting between m- me and the mirror- the mirror, man!” Lexxi pouted, pursing his lips out even more. He swung his mirror around in his hand to keep it out of Michael’s way and more focused on his own beautiful face.

Satchel laughed, “You’re gonna drop that, and that’s gonna break, and you’re gonna cry like a little girl in front of all of us, dude.”

“Then I’ll be careful- duh!” Lexxi sighed, wriggling out of Michael’s strong hold.

“Lexxi, you’re coming with us. It’s not a bitchin’ party until the whole band shows up!” Michael laughed.

“Mmmh…..”

“Lex, c'mon, c'here.” Stix sighed, shifting and standing to grab his taller bandmate. He forced him to lean down so that he could put his head on top of his, wrapping an arm around his shoulder. “Come and have fun, okay?”

“Wh- Wha- What’d you say?” Lexxi blinked. He tried to consecrate and think about what he was just asked, but all he could manage was a confused, cute squint.

“Come and have fun, okay?”

“Ca- Can you say the last work- word different?”

“…okie?”

“Ooh, see that’s what I th- thought you said.”

“Lexxi, stop being a dumb fuckin’ blonde– no offence Michael– for like two seconds and focus, man. Think of it, think of the tiddies! The booze! The drugs! I heard they’re importing these new blue lines straight outta Jendell! Jendell, man! I heard that shit makes electricity shoot right up your spine!” Satchel smirked, rubbing his hands together.

“Better yet,” Stix laughed, catching Lexxi’s short focus again. “Think about it, man… Prince Vince has an entire hall of mirrors in his crib~”

Lexxi’s eyes widened. He’d forgotten about that. He hummed, thinking about it now, debating on the pros and cons before giving in. “Alright, okay. I- I’ll go.”

Michael squealed and hugged him. “Fuck yes! For a second, I thought we had to bring your mother in this.”

“Y- You fuckers leav- leave my mom outta this shit–”

“Heh, she wasn’t out of this,” Satchel motioned to his crotch. “last night, dude.”

“Shuddap!!”

“Oh fuckin’ grow a pair and get over it, Lex. Can’t give her AIDS twice.”

“Or thrice.” Satchel added with a nod of his head.

“Or frice?” Stix said, smiling. “Or whatever the fuck it is.”

“Can y- you guys not gangbang my m- mom?”

“Too late!” Michael said, reaching for his microphone. “I gotta summon us a bitchin’ ride…. Hmmm… what’ll it be tonight, boys? One big limo or…?”

“Flaming limo with flames painted on the sides, and nachos when we get in. I want some fuckin’ nachos right about now, dude.”

“Annnnnnd hookers.” Stix said, letting Lexxi go finally.

Michael nodded, “Oh man, this is so tits. Vince is gonna be soooo fuckin’ happy to see us.”

“Or he’ll banish us from the kingdom again.” Stix shrugged, cracking open a beer.

“Eh, fuck that. We always come back, just like a bad STD.”

“Lexxi would know all about that, wouldn’t you, Lex?” Satchel laughed, poking him in the side.

“Stooooooop, I- I was cleared ages a- ago, man!” he pouted, sitting back on the destroyed couch as they chuckled and relaxed against each other.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX

Prince Vince watched his party’s performance in the palace’s throne room. Mick and Tommy sat to his left and Nikki sat to his right. Their eyes all watched as the ceremonial warriors and dancers of the Order of the Golden Pyramid from the realm of Sphynxia performed for them. They watched the sharp blades twirl in their hands and the air with ease in their finest silks and robes.

The normally rowdy court was calmed and entertained by them, and they even cleared the way for the belly dancers to take the main floor of the throne room. All the dancers in the troupe were women, and each one was catching the Prince’s and his friends eyes. Except for Mick, but he had been around enough to not fall so easily and forget that they were still warriors under those black halter tops adorned with gold jewels and beads, long black skirts with high cut slits, gold anklets and gold bangles.

As a final motion, the dancing warriors twirled and all did a ‘death drop’, leaping up into the air, doing a full turn which almost fully exposed their lower bodies, falling to land on one of their bent legs, and spinning around a few times before slowly rising and posing. The kingdom and all the entire court attending burst into applause for their performance. The members of the Order of the Golden Pyramid all gave a short bow of appreciation at the applause.

The leader of the group, Asim, stepped forward to Vince and knelt down in front of him, offering up a sword. “Prince Vince, this is a gift from the Order in honor of our alliance with Anarkia. May it be fruitful and prosperous for both of us.”

“Holy fuck, that’s a big ass sword!”

“Duuude, look how Vince is holding it like it’s his penis.”

“Nah, that blade is waaaay bigger than his tiny dick, man.”

“I- I’m confused… aaaahh, which way was the bathroom? Oh fuck it. Forget it, Imma just go over here.”

“Oh no,” Mick groaned, making a face. “They’re back.”

“Hell yeah! Can’t fuckin’ go and invite the whole kingdom to a huge ass mother fuckin’ party and not invite us! Just cause we’re on the Steel Pantherian moon doesn’t mean you get to skip out on our invite, cuz!” Michael shouted, bounding straight up to the throne. He seemed unaware of Vince’s reddening face of anger and embarrassment. Or he just didn’t care. “Oooh! Sweet! We’re cool with the Sphynx people? Awesome! Cause I need to go there to tan. See, I’m getting a bit pale and–”

“What are you doin’ here, you fucker!?” Vince growled, trying to keep his cool during his important alliance set up. “I banished you fifteen times!”

“….And?” Michael giggled, then caught sight of the lovely warrior beside them. “Oooooh~ Hello, baby~ Hey, hey, don’t get with this bratty prince, c'mon and hang out with a duke and his boys, honey. I got a real swollen member, and I really need to cum in an ass tonight~”

The olive skinned warrior scoffed, then snatched the sword straight from the prince’s hands. “Master Radames will hear of this behavior and this- this vulgar offering. He had thought you Anarkians had matured after assisting the KISSterians in battle so many times.”

“N- No! Th- This fool is not affiliated with us!”

Nikki growled, nodding in agreement with Vince. “These bastards are just a buncha crossbred, inbred fucks! C'mon! You can’t just–”

“There is a certain level of respect that we expect during such ceremonial events, and this,” Asim motioned to the long hair blonde taking a piss behind a potted plant. “This is not something I can allow to happen on my first mission of alliance.” She shook her head, signaling to the rest of her troupe to pack up and head out.

“Hey, hey,” Michael said, grabbed the warrior’s wrist. “Listen, please. I’m sorry… I guess I messed up… Lemme restart, c'mon, how about I make it up to you and my cousin by offering to let you both blow me. You don’t even gotta worry about the rest of the band. Trust me, compared to the rest of the guys, I’m less likely to cheat, too, if you wanna meet up a second time and make it a thing.”

Rolling her eyes, she pushed him away harshly. “My master will certainly hear about all of this.”

“Michael, I’m gonna fuckin’ strangle you and banish you to a damn realm without pussy!!” Vince screeched, putting a hand on his cousin’s shoulder.

“Hey, dude, fuck off!” he snapped, “I’m trying to help things!”

“You’re making it worse!” Vince growled, his grip on Michael’s shoulder growing tight.

“Hey, let go of our Michael, you royal fuckwad!” Satchel shouted, darting in from the side, swinging a fist back and punching Vince square in the nose.

The crowd gasped, and the members of the Order of the Golden Pyramid quickly fled before an infamous Anarkian battle broke out right in their palace.

Vince growled at the punch, coming at Satchel angrily. With one quick motion, he slammed the guitarist’s head toward the floor, then felt the hardest hit he’d ever had in the ribs. Stix smirked at him as he gasped, standing there frozen and a little shaken from what had just happened.

Tommy came up from behind and kicked the bulkier drummer to the wall across the throne room. “You fuckin’ assholes!! You ruined everything– again!!”

“Ugh… Fuck you! We just came for fun and a good time!”

“BAD FUCKING TIMING, FUCKERS!” Vince shrieked, recovering, then leaping to try and claw his cousin’s eyes out. Michael laughed, holding his wrists an inch from his pretty face.

“Awww, hey, I missed this!!” he giggled, staring into the blazing pits of hatred of the prince’s gaze. “Jeez, I’m just sorry we didn’t show up sooner!”

“IMMA KILL YOU ASSHOLES!!!”

“Nah! You’re just gonna banish us again!” Michael smiled at him, “Make it a tiddie beach this time, though, would ya? I get bored just jerking it off to Lexxi’s girly face.”

“D- DID YOU JUST NOT HEAR ME—!?!” Vince shouted, then cut himself off in an angry roar. “AAAAAAAARGHHHH!!!!!”

“I’m too old for this shit…” Mick growled, sinking down in his chair, glaring at Lexxi off to his side. Blue electricity protectively crackled around him as the tall blonde just stared at him like he let a hamster borrow his last brain-cell. “I’m not gonna do a fist fight, you lil’ shit.”

“Nah, I- I’m just… ahh, well… fuck, someone said something about a mirror hall…. yeah, mirrors.”

Mick squinted at him, then jerked his thumb back behind the throne. “Down the hall.”

“Thanks, old dude.”

“Ugh…” Mick rolled his eyes, watching the court explode, then actually explode into fire and flames. “There goes another perfectly good alliance.”

(Ignoring my suspicion Faust is actually the apprentice’s familiar and not Asra’s) Alaric has a cat named Mithra.  He’s a dark blue-grey Abyssinian with green eyes.  His favorite spot was perched on Alaric’s shoulders. Asra keeps him safe but away from Alaric for fear of triggering memories too soon.  But he’s made sure Mithra is cared for until he thinks Alaric is ready.  He tried once and it didn’t end well. Hopefully he’ll be ready soon. 18. Have they ever cursed someone? Yeah, he’s petty af. 19. How do they handle those headaches/migraines? Not well.  He’s never really been one to make a big deal about pain, so he tends to downplay it, but inside he’s miserable.  And a bit anxious because Asra makes a big deal out of them and stuff.  But he keeps a little bag of lavender on him which helps ease the pain a bit. 20. What tarot card do they connect the most with? The Hermit (according to a quiz, I really don’t know.)  Maybe the Chariot? I’m bad at this stuff. 21. Where were they born? Somewhere not Vesuvia? I don’t know anything more than that... 22. What is their favorite color? Light blue and light/pale yellow 23. What is their least favorite color? Brown 24. Are they right handed, left handed or ambidextrous? Right handed 25. What were they like as a child? Charismatic, which hasn’t changed.  He could talk his way out of anything.  And he needed to use that skill a lot since he’d get into trouble a lot.  He was also very inquisitive and often bothered people with constant questions.  Once he was able to read, it was impossible to find him without a book.  Eventually, he sort of isolated himself and drifted apart from most everyone in his life before coming to Vesuvia. 26. What were their parents like? His parents were kind-hearted and a little eccentric, one a magician and one a baker (tho still a magician, but not as powerful). 27. Do they have any siblings? If the answer is yes how many? Nope! He’s an only child. 28. Do they have any other relatives they are close with? His aunt, the former owner of the shop in Vesuvia. 29. What are they afraid of? Dying.  But also spiders and enclosed/tight spaces. 30. What do they identify as? Sort of male, gay af. 31. Do they have any allergies?  Yep!  Bees (beeswax and stings), sunflower seeds, strawberries, and tomatoes. None of them are deadly allergies besides bee stings.   32. Do they have any other medical problems? Mild asthma 33. What about mental health issues?  Anxiety 34. What’s that personal hygiene regimen like?  He loves baths.  He may be a garbageboy stinkman in the fashion department, but not in the personal hygiene department. 35. Favorite rock or gemstone?  Emerald and fluorite 36. Favorite tree? Anything climbable 37. Favorite type of weather? Warm weather, not humid.  Rain or shine, as long as it’s warm, he’s happy. 38. Least favorite type of weather? Hot and humid, or cold.  He’s a whiny baby in the cold. 39. What is their favorite season? (remember winter is summer and spring is fall) Winter, then. 40. How many languages could they speak before the memory loss? How many do they currently speak? Several, mostly learned through books.  He still knows most of them but he’s not entirely sure how. 41. Do they sing or play any instruments? Lute! Or, really any plucked string instrument.  His voice is pretty good, as well. 42. What do they tend to joke about? Anything and everything, tbh. 43. After a stressful day how do they relax? Naps, sleepy cuddles, just straight up sleep...anything lazy. 44. Guilty pleasures? Smutty literature. 45. idiosyncrasies/quirks? Wears a shit ton of jewelry, taps his toes when nervous, terrible liar, instrument prodigy but only with various plucked string instruments, wears whatevers around as clothes (sometimes not even his, sometimes not even clothes). He’ll also play with his hair and if he’s wearing it either down or in a simple ponytail, he’ll wind up with little random braids by the end of the day. 46. How do they act when they first meet someone new? How quickly do they warm up to them? He’s very charming and charismatic, so he makes friends easily. 47.

List four or more things they love to do Reading, walking around the marketplace, cuddling w Asra, practicing magic, eating good food 49. List four or more things they hate to do Making food, socializing w annoying/judgmental people, doing readings for people who aren’t serious about it, dealing with ignorant customers 50. List five or more things they have said that sum up who they are “Let me help you.” ; “I can do this.” ; “You’ll have to try harder than that.” ; “You really wanna try that?” ; “I promise.” 51. How do they react to (both verbal and physical) conflict? He gets really anxious, though he’s good at covering it up.  He’ll play with the hem of his shirt or strap of his bag, which will be subtle but if you know to look, you can tell he’s anxious.  He’ll handle it in the moment and seem level-headed, but as soon as he’s alone it’s like all that anxiety comes rushing in and he’ll either get really on-edge or have a full-blown panic attack. 52. What kind of bad habits to they have? He taps his fingers a lot, mostly on hard surfaces to hear the noise.  Just picking up random clothes-like things and wearing them as clothes.  Inappropriate humor at times.  Not taking things seriously.  53. What kind of character faults do they have? Kind of aimless, reckless, smart ass, petty 54. What’s their best trait in their opinion? His charisma.  He’s very personable, and he loves the perks that gets him sometimes.  55. What do they think of their appearance? He’s pretty chill about it.  No real qualms, tbh.  He thinks about cutting his hair sometimes, but other than that, his pretty okay with how he looks. 56. How do they interact with people in a position of authority?  Respectful, unless they’re fucking with him, then he’ll be unhelpful.  But mostly he’s really respectful.   57.

If they do, what do they act like when their drunk? Yeah, he prefers mead/ale over wine.  And drunk, he’s just...a lot more affectionate than normal.  Blushy, loud, affectionate mess. 71. How do they take their tea/coffee? Both with milk and sugar (or honey in tea). 72. What food would they refuse to eat? Well, things he’s allergic to, for sure.  And he’s not a huge fan of seafood.  So if there’s another option, he’s gonna refuse the seafood.   73. Is there anything they eat that most people would find unappealing? His favorite food is called ‘beef rolls’, which kinda sounds like a hamburger patty on a stick which sounds a little unappealing just...with words.  He also likes to eat just a handful of olives.  Boy loves olives. 74. When going on the road what food could they not live without? Bread. 75. What meal gives them a sense of nostalgia?

How would they react if a prized possession got stolen? Panic.  A lot. 78. What’s the first thing they would buy if they won the lottery?

What would their favorite modern invention be? Snapchat bc he gotta show everyone how cute he is, especially w those filters. 80. In a new unfamiliar place what do they do? Explore.  Look around in wonder.  He loves new and unfamiliar places.  Especially if there’s an air of mystery or danger around them. 81. Someone just threatened them what do they do?

Unless he’s seen her be an awful person, he’ll return it. 83. Someone just stole food from them what do they do? Unless it’s pumpkin bread or beef rolls, he’ll just let them have it tbh.  Otherwise, you bet your buttons he’ll demand its return. 84. They meet a man at a crossroads. The man says they can have everything they’ve ever wanted. What happens next? Right off the bat, he’ll be dismissive.  He doesn’t want for anything, really.  After a second or two of thought, he’ll probably ask if he can have his memories back, and what the price would be for that... 85. As a child what would they say they wanted to be as an adult?  ie. When I grow up I’m going to _______ He always wanted to be a magician, though when he was younger, he wanted more to be like a powerful, terrifying warlock.  He’s happy with being just a humble magician in a little shop with Asra. 86. What’s their D&D alignment? Neutral good

“Where is Shilo going?” 

The question was soft, but the young rogue didn’t need to turn to know what sight was waiting behind him, that voice was unmistakable. His father; the tiny one, and Shilo sighed as his eyes fluttered closed, standing at this full height. 

Ether shifted behind him, arms crossed as he waited for his son to speak, thought the silence that hung in the air caused him to worry. It was not like Shilo to be so quiet, and he hadn’t said a word during dinner, something the small family enjoyed together every night, not to mention the clouds that seemed to fill those beautiful silver eyes. 

“Shi Shi..” Ether tried again, his heavy tribal jewelry jingling to life as he took a step forward, allowing his concern to carry into his clear voice. “I’m just...I’m just going out, nothin’ to worry about, Dad.” that was a lie, and Ether saw right through it, pale violet eyes piercing the back of the black blonde ponytail that was tied up with a leather strap. “Shilo. Where are you going?” he tried again, as he was not about to let his son leave with such a troubled look in his eyes, not without trying. But whatever was on the young man’s mind, he seemed rather reluctant to speak it, once again shaking his head with a deep breath. “I’ll be back before morning, I promise.” 

The hexxer tilted his head curiously with furrowed blonde brows, his normal demeanor pushed to the side in this moment, his son was acting strangely and he found himself unable to drop the topic. “Shilo....alright, if Shi is sure. Ether will be here if Shi need him, please...do not forget you can speak to me and your Father freely...” Ether felt his heart give a sharp tug, he did not want to leave the subject alone, but he knew his boy. Shilo would react like a horse being led; both feet firmly planted in the ground as he refused to move. The small elf moved backwards, golden hair shifting as he fluttered his long lashes, nails digging a bit harder then they should against the wooden door frame as he felt his heart sink in his stomach. 

“Wait...Dad..” 

In a flurry of multicolored skirts, Ether turned quickly back to his son, violet eyes imploring as he waited for him to make the first move. Shilo ran a hand through his hair, and Ether could read frustration in his movements, a another long winded sigh coming from his throat, and he didn’t turn to face his father as he spoke. “Dad...I feel, I feel fucking lost.” 

Ether instinctively took a step forward, unable to resist his maternal urges, a slender hand placed on his son’s shoulder. “What is wrong, Shi Shi? Talk to Ether, talk to Dad...” he heard Shi swallow rather then saw, and he felt his son’s shoulders tense slightly under his touch. “I..I don’t know. I don’t know what I’m doing..” Ether’s hand moved to pull at his son’s shoulder, turning Shilo to face him, an audible gasp of pain ripping from him as he saw those gorgeous silver eyes brimming with hot tears, the sight stinging his heart and tearing it into pieces.

So, this is what it felt like to be a parent. To see your child suffer; so this was what it was like.

“My baby, Shi....please, please...tell Dad what is the matter, come..come! Sit! Sit!” Ether was tugging at his son, pulling at his shirt as his bangle covered arms waved back and forth with his animated speaking, always talking with his hands. The tiny dancer pushed his son towards the couch, sitting down across from him as Shilo instantly buried his head in hands, his voice cracking and splintering as he attempted to speak to his father. “I-I don’t...Dad, d-don’t you ever just feel...fucking, lost? You don’t know why, but you do?” Violet orbs downcast for a moment, then back to his emotion torn son, a soft understanding smile resting on his light pink lips. 

“Oh, Shi....everyone feels that way, sometimes. Everyone. Even now, as Ether watch you, my most precious treasure...Ether feel lost. He want to help Shilo, is what parents do. Even Dey, even your Papa....he come to Ether sometimes, because he feel lost. Ether always help him find his way home, like he does for Ether, and we will do the same for you; if you let us.” Shilo barely looked up from his hands, his eyes rolling to the back of his head out of frustration instead of disrespect, and he felt his throat tighten. 

“I just...feel like everyone expects so much from me, and I try hard, Dad...I do. But, fuck...” He paused, wincing, “Sometimes, it gets hard. Even for me. I’m so tired, I’m fucking exhausted and all I want..” Shi trailed off, burying his head again as Ether wrapped an arm around him, his slender fingers and gold tipped fingernails stroking his son’s  hair to the side as he placed a soft kiss against his temple. “My little love, Shi is doing so well, Ether is so proud, but....he is sorry. Sorry that his baby feels this way, sorry he did not realize Shi Shi needed him, shush...shush..my son...oh, my boy...” Ether’s heart broke as he heard his own flesh and blood begin to cry, something Shilo had always hid before, and suddenly Ether himself realized the dark bags that hung under Shilo’s eyes, how had he missed them before?

“What is it? What is it my Shi Shi wants, hm? Tell Ether, please?” slowly Shilo began to tilt his body towards his very small father, whose arms were open and waiting to grab him and pull him close, rocking him back and forth like he did as he was young once. “Dad...” came the murmured reply, “That’s the thing; I don’t even know anymore, I thought I did...but now...? I’m just not sure.” Ether stilled, he had noticed that Zan and Shilo had drifted apart recently, and his heart filled with dread. He would support his son, no matter what his choice, but he’d always hoped the two would end up together. He saw the way Shilo looked at his best friend’s son, that pure look of love, soft and adoring, surely he had not lost that feeling so easily? 

“What you mean, baby? Shi....” the hexxer watched as his son struggle before his very eyes, something that tore him in a way he’d never experienced before. “Dad, I did something fucking stupid, and I keep fucking doing something stupid....cause it’s just...fuck...I thought it was the right thing, and now..” Ether took a breath, urging Shi to continue. “Shi Shi, whatever it is, tell Ether. Daddy will do his best to get Shi out of it, if need be...” A sharp shake of his son’s head told him it wasn’t something criminal, as he had feared, but more tears did not quell his worry in the slightest. “I’ve been going to the underbelly, but I’m sure you knew that...” Ether nodded, despite his son thinking he was sneaky, he had not dropped under his or Dey’s radar, but he laid another kiss to his temple to encourage him, no matter how bad; Ether would help his baby boy.

Shilo buried his head in his much smaller Dad’s chest, biting his lip as he abandoned all matter of pride, Ether cooing and smoothing out his hair as he softly spoke to him in Zandali; a language Shilo too spoke fluently. Normally, he’d be pissed at his Father fussing over him like a child, but right now Ether felt like a lifeline, and he appreciated his father’s actions; anchoring him to the ground when he felt like floating away. 

“I met up with a guy, his name was Vexion...” Ether tried to stop the thundering of his heart, readying himself for the worst, as he had heard that name before during one of his many trips with Dey. Vexion; the fel-light, was a well known warlock - and also a man of little repute. He did many deeds for money; though Ether uneasily guessed which one his son might be involved in. “He...fuck, he talked me into doing some things, I mean, fuck I didn’t know what I was doing and...I didn’t want to be stumbling around like an idiot, and well...things didn’t go his way...” 

“I told him I wasn’t going to pay for shit; certainly not that. I mean, like I can’t get my fill with this money maker, right?” He attempted a joke, at which both he and Ether laughed weakly, a bit of pride showing in violet orbs. “Yes, Yes. Ether’s Shi is so handsome, just like his Papa Dey...” Shi snorted a bit, but gave a half hearted smile before continuing, “So...we did some....things. We’ve been doing some things, and really...I just don’t want to anymore. I just....don’t know how to stop doing the stupid thing.” Ether leveled his gaze, his son’s chin between his hands, face mere inches away as he searched silver eyes for his answer. “Shi...my baby, Ether is pretty sure he knows what it is you’ve done, but please...do not be vague. You may tell your Daddy and he will not judge you, it is my place to guide you, my boy...” 

“We’ve been having casual sex, just an off and on again thing. I don’t even enjoy it, Dad. I just started it cause I didn’t want to have no idea when....” he stopped, blushing scarlet across his cheeks, and Ether picked up where he left of. “When Shi and Zan got together, you wanted to be able to please him and not be fumbling around in the dark, yes?” Ether wasted no words, and was rewarded with a very slow nod from Shilo, giving him his own nod in return. “Ether thought so. Shi Shi, Ether...knows that man is not to be trusted, though. And you do not seem happy, Shi....” his son rolled his shoulders a bit with a long sigh, his voice weaker then before. “I..haven’t seen him in a couple weeks, told myself I wasn’t going anymore. And tonight, that’s not where I was going, but...it’s just. I’m so tired Dad, and Zael...” 

Ether’s ears twitched as his best friend’s name pricked at his ears, lips frowning a bit in hopes Zael was not too stern with his Shi. “Zael, what?” a few moments of silence passed, before Shilo finally broke. “Zael he’s an amazing teacher, he really is, and I know what everyone expects of me, I’m not fucking deaf or blind, and I know everyone thinks it’s so fucking easy, but it’s just not. I’ve been meeting up with someone whose been mentoring me on my shadow skills; and I just don’t know how to tell Zaelius, and he thinks I’m just ditching.” Ether shifted his weight, again his violet orbs pierced his son’s silver ones. “Shi, Ether tell you something because he is your father; you answer to no one. You hold your head high, and Shi does not owe anyone explanations. You do what you must, my son. Shilo is strong, Shilo is son of Ether and Dey; the grandson of Rai’jin of the Amani. Shi has good blood, Shilo is good.” a strange glint struck the hexxer’s eyes, his head tilted upwards with pride, and perhaps a bit of arrogance. 

“If you want to meet up with shadow teacher, you do so. As long as Shi is safe; Ether will support. Though, Ether does think you should let Zael know, if he does not want to...then he does not have to. Shilo, you are your own man, your future? It’s yours! But...Ether does ask his Shi, one thing...” 

“Please, figure out what you want before you hurt Zan, he is your best friend. You do not owe anyone an explanation; but you do owe Zan respect. If you do not want to be with - - “ 

“I do, Dad! Fuck, I do...but I’m not...fuck, look at me!” Shi suddenly jerked his head upwards, swallowing down his fear as he locked eyes with his father. “I’m a fucking mess, he doesn’t deserve that. He’s perfect, so perfect. I just want to protect him and keep him safe; but I can’t even do that. Those bullies, I couldn’t stop them, I don’t deserve him. I don’t.” 

“Shi! Shi stop this! Ether knows you did all you could, Shi Shi, Ether - -” 

“No, you stop!” and suddenly Shilo was standing, towering over his father in his leather strap pants, and biker jacket, white sleeveless under it; the vision of the future while Ether himself seemed stuck in the past. “I don’t! If he stays with me, I’ll get him into trouble, and gods know he’s seen enough of that shit. I’m not even 22 yet, Dad...and I have a reputation. My hands aren’t clean, I don’t deserve to touch him...” Shi held out his hands to stare at them with a shaky breath, swallowing a lump that rose painfully up his throat. “And every night I dream of him, every night...and I want to shout at him, Dad. I want to tell him how much I love him, how much I want to be by his side; but I can’t. I’m not good enough...if I was I wouldn’t have gone to the underbelly and had a fuck session with a lowborn warlock, no...I would’ve gone to him, let us discover each other together...but I fucked up, like always. All I can do now is study with Saerion and try to help Papa with his group, and just forget about this fucking stupid pain in my heart and  - - “ 

“ENOUGH.” 

Ether was now standing toe to toe with Shilo, shoulders back and chest puffed up, eyes dark as Shi faltered, never seeing this side of his Dad before. He’d seen him mad, yes...but this was different. “You only lose when you give up, Shilo. Ether tell you a million times, and he will tell you a million times again! You are my son, Dey’s son, you are ours! Zan does not see you like this! Can you not see it, Shi Shi? Or are you too consumed with own pain, that Shi cannot see the pain he is causing Zan by simply believing that he is not worthy?! Zan does not see Shi like that, don’t you see? Zan see Shi as a wonderful person, Zan believe in Shi. This is what we do, when we love someone. We see all the things they cannot see...we see all the good! We carry on when they cannot. Zan think he not worthy; you think Zan is the sun and stars. Shi think he not worthy; Zan see him as his everything. Don’t you see that?” 

“Shilo is stronger then this; Ether knows. Shi Shi, tell Ether. Tell Ether what it was all for then? All that time you spent with Zan, all those bruises, all those times sneaking over just to sleep beside him, sticking up for him, chasing him, making sure he was okay, carrying him when he fainted from hunger...” Ether caught himself, Shilo had not been brought to light about why his friend had fainted, the truth being that Zan needed blood; and he wanted Shilo’s. Zan had fainted, and Shi had carried him home, missing a mission he’d been excited to accompany his father on to take care of his friend. 

“Tell Ether...What was it all for then??” 

“Shilo, we all make mistakes, Loa know Ether has made quite a few! But PLEASE. It will be okay, please...” 

Ether’s hands went out, his own pale eyes filling with tears, his sons pain was his pain, no matter how irrational, and he wanted to make it stop. “Please, take Ether’s hands....trust in him, you are my whole world, Shilo....a gift given to me by your Father. Our gift to each other so the whole world could see our love.” 

Shi stilled, breath hitching at his father’s words, silver trained on the shaking thin hands in front of him. “Shi could never be not worthy; never ever...” slowly, very slowly his son took his hands, gripping them tightly when Ether folded his fingers over Shi’s, eyes closing for a moment in relief. “Tell him, tell Zan.....believe in him, if you don’t believe in yourself. That is what mate is for, to carry when our legs are too weak. Believe, Believe, Believe...” Ether’s words became a chant, as if he were trying to invoke any Loa that would listen, and slowly Shilo wrapped his arms around his little father, holding him tight as he nodded against his skin. 

“I....I’m sorry, Dad. You’re right. My head is too far up my own ass, I...I’ll get my shit together, promise.” Ether nodded with a soft smile, hand caressing his son’s cheek. “And if you fall, you come to Papa Dey or Ether. We will catch you, we love you.” Shi’s gaze finally softened, his lips kissing his father’s hand in reverence. “Maybe...I’ll go catch up with Zael tonight, I....miss sparing with him.I don’t think it’s too late, is it?” 

Ether shook his head, pointing at the clock that hung on the wall, his smile widening with a giggle. “Nope! Ether see it is only 3 past 12, still much time!” his hands worked at straightening his son, nodding at his work and giving his cheek a sweet kiss. “There is my Shi, strong and handsome like his father. Go on, have fun...and tomorrow; no jobs. Shi needs to rest sometimes too. I will tell your father, myself...” 

“Alright, Alright...Shi will sleep.” the young man seemed relieved, his aura easing to Ether’s eyes as he hurried out the door and out on deck where his mentor was waiting, despite the 4 practice sessions he’d missed; leaving Ether to sigh and pour himself a glass of juice thoughtfully.

“What was that about?” 

The hexxer flicked an ear, Dey standing in the doorway to their bedroom as he passed him his own cup of juice, a feather light smile on his lips. “Oh, nothing much. Shilo being Shilo.” Dey rose an eyebrow at his husband, giving him a quick tap to his ass as he came up to stand behind him. “I’m serious, what was that about?” Ether gave another shrug, rolling his violet eyes as he felt yet another impact, lips curving into a half hearted scowl. “Ether being serious! Shi being Shi, thinking too much, being silly.” his husband sighed, as if resigning himself to the answer, kissing the small elf as he took a drink of his own cup. “Fine, fine...coming to bed, I hope? I’d like to get some rest before I have to work tomorrow, if you don’t mind...” 

The words carried sarcasm, but it was all in a teasing manner, Ether had learned that much from their years together, but...still he had a question.

“Yes, yes...Deysen must get his beauty sleep! Ether knows! But...Dey?” 

“Yes, Ether..” 

Ether ignored the pointed look he was awarded for the slight jab, at least he didn’t call Dey a princess this time, right?

“Um, what does it mean....have head stuck up ass?” 

“What?” 

“Shi...he said he ‘had his head stuck up own ass’...” 

It was all the head man of the house could do not to spit out his juice as he laughed, Ether’s violet eyes wide and bewildered as Dey snorted and chuckled, juice starting to slosh as he struggled to contain his laughter as Ether’s all too innocent question. 

“It...uh, it means to be stuck on yourself. You know, like you pity yourself too much, something like that..” 

Dey started laughing again at Ether’s reaction, a wrinkled nose and sharp click of his tongue as he made his way towards the bedroom with a wave of his hand, Zandali words of confusion wandering behind him. 

“Why not just say that, why say such vulgar thing for something like that? Ether not understand, Ether just not understand...” 

“I know, my love...I know...”

Anastasiya Kvitko Rocks Scandalous Black Swimsuit In Sizzling Video

Instagram sensation Anastasiya Kvitko tantalized her 10.7 million Instagram followers with her latest update, a video in which she showcased her voluptuous physique in a scandalous black swimsuit. Though the swimsuit was a one-piece and not a bikini, the look still showed off plenty of skin.

The Russian bombshell didn’t specify the location in the geotag of the post, but she appeared to be on a beach surrounded by white sand. The sizzling video featured a drink by Bang Energy, the beverage that Anastasiya often promotes.

The stunner rocked a one-piece black swimsuit that showcased her hourglass physique to perfection. The top had a low-cut neckline that flaunted a tantalizing amount of cleavage. The swimsuit featured high-cut sides that stretched over her curvaceous hips, drawing even more attention to her hourglass physique.

In one clip of the video, Anastasiya slowly walked down a beach, while in another, she kneeled in the sand and took a sip of her beverage. Several clips showed off her swimsuit from behind, and the it was a thong style that highlighted her ample derriere. The back portion of the swimsuit also dipped low, showing off a bit of extra skin on her back.

Anastasiya’s long blond ombre locks were down in a straight style, and her silky tresses blew in the wind. She kept the look simple, wearing no shoes and adding just a pair of sunglasses and a gold bangle to accessorize.

Though the sunglasses obscured some of her face, Anastasiya’s makeup seemed natural, with just enough to accentuate her features.

The Russian bombshell’s followers couldn’t get enough of the sizzling video, and the post racked up over 41,600 views within just one hour. Many of Anastasiya’s fans took to the comments section to share their thoughts on the update, and the post also received 353 comments within the first hour the post was live.

“Absolutely amazing!!! You look incredible love!!” one fan commented.

“Too gorgeous in the video,” another fan said, followed by a string of heart emoji.

“You have a divine body. You’re beautiful,” one follower added.

“Baby, you have an amazing body shape of a goddess, especially those curves and hips, breathtaking,” another said.

Whether she’s in a swimsuit or in regular clothing, Anastasiya loves to flaunt her curves for her eager followers.

I'm a few days behind on #nightmarefuel #horror #writingprompts Here's Number 17: The Inheritance:

Long estranged Aunt Maureen had been a jewelry woman, clearly. One with rather ostentatious, even gaudy taste. It went with the house, the car, and the white baby grand in the living room. The woman had enjoyed herself.

Trish, the surprise inheritor of the worldly belongings of an great-aunt she hadn’t known she had, pulled case after case of jewelry out of the walk-in closet all day, sorting them into things she might want, things she might sell, and things she might donate somewhere. The pile of items to donate was threatening to slide off the table. Jewelry doesn’t stack well. Lots of Aunt Maureen’s pieces were too showy for Trish’s comfort.

Diving back into the closet, Trish found an old fashioned train case upholstered in a reddish velveteen that made her think of dollhouse furniture. She rested it on a chair and scooped piles of broaches, bracelets, bangles, and baubles into it by the handful.

A pin jabbed into the palm of her hand, and Trish drew back to find one of the broaches sticking out of her hand--an elaborate viney piece, too bright to be real gold. “I hope that was clean,” she sighed, pulling out the offending trinket and pressing a tissue to the wound. The tissue reddened quickly so she hurried down the hall to the bathroom where she could clean it properly and maybe find a bandaid or something. She hoped she wasn’t going to get tetanus or anything.

Blood washed down the drain, along with soap and disinfectant she’d found in the medicine chest. Trish poked at the wound gingerly. It didn’t hurt much. Maybe that was a good sign. In fact, it had already stopped bleeding. She closed the medicine chest, then stopped cold. The face that looked back at her from the mirror wasn’t hers.

Well, obviously, it was hers. But it also wasn’t. Those were her eyes, her freckles, her rounded cheeks, but she had never worn her hair high and elaborate on her head. She looked glamorous, sophisticated, and so unlike herself. Trish raised a hand to pat the hairdo and felt only the smooth long locks she always wore. When she looked back at the mirror, the hallucination ended.

Unnerved, Trish returned to the piles of jewelry on the table, wondering if she should get in a jeweler to examine the pile and make sure she wasn’t overlooking valuable pieces. It might all seem ugly and old fashioned to her, but that didn’t necessarily mean it wasn’t worth something. Not that she’d be wanting for funds. Sorting through the woman’s belongings had Trish more and more curious about this aunt her mother had never told her about. There had to be a secret of some kind. People didn’t just have rich aunts who died and left them everything. Not people like her.

The pin that had stabbed her hand lay separate of the rest. Trish picked it up and held it under the light. Golden metalwork swirled around a stone--not a gem, but a stone, like a river rock. Something whitish-pink and sparkling, with blue veins running through it, lumpy and uneven in a pleasantly natural way. It reminded her of a brain. She ran a finger over the stone, which glowed warm against her skin. Odd.

Some hours later, Trish woke, lying in the giant canopied bed in her aunt’s room, the pin still clasped in her hand. She sat up with a gasp, and gasped again, catching sight of herself in the mirror above the bureau. In her reflection, she wore a silken nightgown, bejeweled like something out of old Hollywood. Looking down, she saw she wore her simple soft blue sweater and leggings, just like she had earlier. Another glance up still showed the gown in her reflection.

She stood and walked over to the mirror. Her walk seemed different. More of a sashay. She raised a hand to her neck and the broach in her hand scratched against her skin. She looked down at it, remembering.

Her aunt’s will had said that she was leaving all her wealth to her niece Trish, who needed to learn to get more fun out of life. Her mother didn’t teach her enough magic, but it never too late to learn. Trish grinned, and the glamorous richly dressed version of her in the mirror grinned back. She couldn’t wait to see what her aunt had really meant.

Pet Part 1

Y/N loved the finer things life had to offer her. And men were placed before her to give anything she wanted with just a snap of her fingers. 

Money 

Clothes

Jewelry 

Even diamonds 

Men were willing to give her anything just to so much as be near her. Y/N worked at a club in the dark part of the city. The places where mobsters brokered deals, drug dealers received shipments, gang leaders met to settle disputes, or even rid each other. It was never unusual to see a fight or hear the pops of guns go off in the VIP sections.

She drained the pockets of any man who dare tried to commit themselves to her. Like a siren of the night. Luring them in with their beauty and striking when least expected. 

She was a collector of both diamonds and hearts. 

She was one of Mr.J’s Diamond Dogs. His top dancers never showed their nether regions nor their ‘bits’ as he liked to say. Instead they sat with men on their arms, danced for them in the private sections and rooms, served them drinks, flirted here and there hell the job was the best. But with this job came the downfall of guys always getting a little to touchy feely. 

Thankfully security was always on top of their job, and the second they caught a brush of skin or a smack of the ass the men were instantly thrown out, no refunds at all or reentry into the club.

Y/N never met J or his old lady as the bartenders or other workers murmured about rumors of the clown couple. Their VIP section overlooked the entire club being hidden by the golden beads in the back of the club and their office sat at the very top of the club looking down on everyone. However, y/n caught an occasional flash of green hair or cherry red lips.

Tonight was like any other usual night. Y/n sat next to a tatted man, Monster T ,he was one of her newer customer, who held her close to his chest droning on about how much he’d loved to take her home. All she cared about though was what was in that black box sitting on the table.

“...baby” She opened her eyes looking into his brown ones.

“What’d you say babe? You had me lost in all of this pleasure I couldn’t concentrate” she purred grinding on his leg his head fell back as he breathed out a moan. 

“Just like that baby oh yeah” His hands gripped at her waist tightly as his hips bucked upward for more friction. She slowed down bringing him down from his lustful high slowly stroking her hands down his shoulders to his chest.

“I missed you so much baby, leaving your girl here all lonely” she said with a pout and fluttering your eyes at him.

 Especially those big fact checks he was bringing 

He smiled pressing her body closer to him as he rubbed a hand on the small of her back and placed a kiss on her her pouting glossy lips. 

“I got ya something so you won't forget me baby. Its on the table got it specially made just for my girl” He said nodding towards the box. She swiped it and quickly popped off the top and let out a squeal pulling out the sparkling ring that was all nestled inside. 

“Oh baby you spoil me too much” She cooed slipping the ring on and pecking the corner of his lips.

“Well, well well....so this is where you’ve been hiding from me huh...” All the warmth of not only the warm room, but also the shots y/n had been taking wore off. She had heard that smooth deep voice before followed by that girlish chuckle. 

“M-Mr.J what a surprise” Monster stuttered pushing the frozen girl off his lap to the side of the couch. Finally she caught a glimpse of the clown prince with his queen of Gotham holding on his arm. 

They truly looked like a King and Queen.

Mr.J wore a a red and black lined suit jacket that was unbuttoned and showing off the onyx tattoos that adorned his pale chest along with tight black suit pants and gold shining chains, his ring covered hands clutched his cane tightly.

Next to him, Harley was her name. Y/n had seen her dance in that cage before with other dancers, she truly was a firecracker. Her blood red lips turned upward as she caught sight of the silent girl. She wore a black and gold dress that showed every curve on her body with gold bangles covering her arm.

“Mister J ain’t been too happy since you’ve been late on his payments T” Harley tutted sitting on the couch crossing her legs while Mr.J sat on the table eyeing Monster T.

“You have the nerve to spend MY MONEY on one of my best girls” Mr.J’s voice rose as he struck the cane across Monster T sending him on the floor in a bloody crumpled mess. Joker cackled along with Harley above him as he continued to bash his face and body with the cane.

Y/N jumped back as soon as he began to deliver the relentless blows and tried to back out the room as silently as she could, but the large sparkling heels she wore clicked getting the attention of the clown couple

“Where do you think your going baby?” Joker purred walking towards her slowly she went still her blood practically freeze as he came face to face with her. He’d discarded the bloodied cane on top of the unconscious gangster carelessly his arms open wide came to hold her elbows. 

“Yeah the fun’s just gettin’ started puddin’” Harley giggled wrapping her arms around the girl from behind and resting her chin on her shoulder. 

“W-well I thought I might leave you to your business Mister J...” She gulped he smirked dragging his finger down the side of her cheek as he tutted shaking his head.

“No, no no don’t lie to me doll face” Her cheeks heated up at the pet name “we aren’t gonna hurt ya” He caught her hand with the ring bringing it up to his lips to peck it.

“You tied up with anybody?” Harley asked her lips brushing slightly against her ear. 

“N-No he gave it to me” She pointed to the knocked out Monster.

Joker snorted pulling the ring off and threw it behind him carelessly.

“I could buy you a ring with a rock twice that size” he whispered letting his hands stroke down her cheeks and grasp her jaw to tilt her head to meet his eyes “but I know just how selfish of a little thing you are. You want more than just sparkly little pebbles. don’t ya?”

“It looks like we haven't been taking care of our pet huh puddin?’“

“Seems so Harls” 

The lump in her throat seemed to silence you as she found herself to be taken from the reserved room and out of the club. A purple sports car pulled up and out stood one of mister J’s men that opened the door to the back.

“We’re going to take such great care of you my little Diamond.”

Thinking about buying pearl jewelry as gifts for Christmas, birthday, anniversary, coming of age or other occasions? Well, here at The Pearl Source, we are experts on the gems. We know everything there is to know about cultured pearls, how to care for them and how to buy the gemstones.

Image Credit: anyka © 123RF.com

You want to be sure your gift doesn’t dull over time. The luster of the pearls should last a lifetime. Use this pearl buying guide as a tool to help you purchase high-quality, real cultured pearls as gifts for others this Christmas season.

7 Factors That Determine the Value of Cultured Pearls

Every type of cultured pearl is subject to the following factors when grading the value of the gemstones:

1. Cultured Pearl Luster

Visually speaking, the luster of a pearl is the most highly regarded factor. This is what makes the gem look so appealing. The pearl’s luster is all about its sharpness, brightness and ability to reflect light. It’s what makes the jewel sparkle and shine.

Nacre is the crystalline substance produced by oysters within their shells. Also called mother-of-pearl, this is the outer coating of the gem. It’s responsible for the iridescent visuals you see when you look at lustrous pearls.

Generally, the longer the pearl is left to grow inside the oyster, the more it continues to form layers of nacre. The more nacre layers, the more lustrous the gemstone. And, lustrous pearls are very valuable.

2. Cultured Pearl Shape

Perfectly round pearls are very hard to come by, making them very rare gems. The closer to round they are, the more precious and valuable they are on the market.

How amazing is the shape of this baroque pearl from The Pearl Source?

  But, that doesn’t make other pearl shapes invaluable. Many pearl lovers treasure uniquely-shaped gems, such as baroque pearls. These gems are asymmetrical in shape. Their value is graded based on symmetry.

3. Cultured Pearl Color

Classic white pearls still remain the most popular and common choice when buying pearls as gifts for Christmas and other gift-giving occasions. Yet, these classic gems come in many different colors, from one end of the rainbow to the next.

Just keep a few things in mind when shopping for various pearl colors:

Real Black Pearls – Tahitian pearls are the only pearl types that are naturally black in color. They come from the Tahitian black-lipped oyster, the only living creature that produces natural black pearls.

Real Gold Pearls – For naturally colored pearls of gold, South Sea Golden Pearls are the right choice. They are created within the golden-lipped oyster, and are about as rare as gold itself. Pearl colors range from deep gold to light champagne, with various golden hues in between.

Other Natural Pearl Colors – Cultured Freshwater pearls come in an array of naturally produced colors, except black. A pearl’s color alone does not dictate value. But. Naturally colored pearls tend to be a bit more valuable than dyed gems.

4. Cultured Pearl Size

Just like with diamonds, rubies, sapphires and other gemstones, the larger the cultured pearl, the greater its value. Pearls range in size. The largest certified cultured Black Tahitian pearl ever discovered measures in at 25 mm in diameter.

Typically, cultured South Sea pearls are the largest on the market. Growing the pearls to become large in size requires a lot of time. It’s a miss-and-hit process that can be destroyed by various mishaps, including the deaths of the oysters.

This is the reason why large South Sea pearls are so rare. And, that’s what makes them so expensive and value on the pearl market.

5. Cultured Pearl Weight

When shopping for pearls, you may find that most jewelers don’t feature the weight of the pearl in jewelry descriptions. But, a quality pearl jewelry store will be glad to share this information with you to help you make a more educated buying decision.

Generally, cultured pearl weight is measured in mommes. The weight of a pearl is typically expressed using these three units:

Grains

Carats

Mommes

Pearl weight alone does not determine the gem’s value. But, when judged along with other factors, it can have an impact on the value of the gem.

6. Cultured Pearl Surface

According to the general rules of thumb, most pearls will have blemishes on their surfaces. This is because the gems are created by nature… a living creature at that. So, technically, it’s impossible for any pearl to be completely perfect. Even if you can’t see them with the naked eye, some type of blemish exists.

Many will feature scoring marks, pin pricks, wrinkles, chalky spots and other inclusions. These imperfections actually add to the value of the gems for pearl lovers who love unique jewelry. But, in actuality, the more perfect the pearl’s surface, the more valuable the gemstone.

7. Cultured Pearl Matching

This is an important factor when buying custom pearl jewelry as gifts. Buying groups of pearls means getting your hands on multiple gems with their own unique shapes, colors, luster, size and flaws. Each gem needs to match, or be well-coordinated, so they look good with one another.

This gives me confidence that I can be in the 120s bodyweight territory by April/May 2018 as I Stella Carrier intend to return to 125 pounds or thinner by April 1 2018 or sooner.June 14,  2020I Stella Carrier give thanks that I now make over 3000 dollars a month after taxes and I am in a stronger financial position to freely give my husband Rusty at least 200 to 300 dollars a month after taxes and still have plenty of after tax monthly money left over. My good money fortune actually started to increase in the autumn of 2017 with my University of Maryland College Park food services job after I received vital intuitive guidance from my heaven spirit ally team and my heaven higher self to save as much after tax money that I realistically can. I Stella Carrier listened to both my intuition and logic to avoid telling even my most well-meaning and talented coworkers even when they asked my after tax money pay for very good reasons, with of course telling my husband Rusty Ridler for obvious reasons and trusting that he would keep it between us my monthly after tax income. Fortunately, I Stella Carrier succeeded in saving over 1500 dollars after taxes by December 1 2017 and over 3500 dollars after taxes by May 1, 2017. I Stella Carrier feel blessed to report that I now have over 40,000 dollars after taxes saved by June 1 2020. I feel blessed to say that I am in strong money position to both get my wonderful husband Rusty Ridler both a nice gift and still have plenty of money left over. I Stella Carrier also feel blessed that the marriage between my sweet and handsome husband Rusty and I continues to get closer and more loving. I Stella Carrier also feel blessed that my husband Rusty Ridler is both sweet and very affectionate.

Dear Stella Carrier this communication comes from your future higher self who is helping to set up festivities near a party area for both amateur and professional runners who have recently passed over and writers both those who have passed over and for any spirit living in these celestial spheres who has interest in writing. Your main spirit guide wants me to relay to you that the reason why he got your attention with the happy and attractive female pictured in one of the youtube videos today was to push you to ensure that you keep getting thinner as a priority high on your goal list, yes even if that means you  have to change your writing schedule andor the way you write online to achieve this goal. Before I as your future higher self go into a gold and orange castle to help organize for this party I have to relay the message to you that you are far from alone and have a team of hundreds of celestial spirit helpers to assist you as well as the gift of your intuition both to be a stronger contributor to others both through your volunteering efforts and through your job. That is the other thing-even if you have to change how often you are online andor the way you are online-both he and I emphasize to you that time must be made for both your volunteering and creativity and within the next 2 weeks or less please list 8 out of the 10 books that you intend to use to joyfully change your life.

I as your future higher self depart  to the party with love but for the following messages are recommended that I relay to you

listed price 1797 for paintAs with other people, my prayers and well wishes go out to everyone affected by this shocking incident that occurred in Nevada during the Harvest Music country festival. Obviously, I do not condone whatever drove Stephen Paddock to do what he did to many innocent people yet I am surprised that one motive is not being as widely discussed; what was Stephen Paddock’s social life, love life, and overall career life like from the time he was in his 30s andor even his 20s until 64 years of age. I say this because I noticed that he chose to kill so many people when they were having fun with their friends for family, was he wishing that he could be like some of the concert goers who have abundant family members andor friends surrounding him but instead of channeling that energy to get out there and meet people like other people do, you can pretty much get the picture. Additionally, I would also see if the law enforcement officials are comfortable interviewing Paddock’s family andor even at least one or both of  his exes andor in laws again to see if he was always rich in order to see if he felt the need to do what he did to both inflict revenge andor save face as it is human nature for even some family members to keep their distance emotionally if they are concerned about you possibly needing their help financially even if temporarily andor they would freely offer their help. I would also interview the in-laws andor any coworkers andor friends he knew in his 40s andor 50s to get an idea of how his social and love life was like without shaming anyone if they happen to tell a harsh truth about him (in order to get them to feel safe to open up about any hidden motives that may not be apparent to other people who may not have gotten to know him until Paddock was in his 50s/60s when he became wealthier). I believe Paddock’s brother that they got along, but obviously there had to be some details that were hidden from even his brother as it is also human nature to sometimes withhold andor be secretive about certain things from even the most well-meaning family members.Las Vegas shootingSpecial ed teacher, kindergarten teacher, nurse who shielded wife among those killedBy Emily Shapiro and Julia Jacobo

Gifts Mum Will Love

Mother’s Day should be Mum’s favorite day of the year! After all, it is the official holiday to honor all mothers. Few of us know the origins of this holiday, but the concept began in ancient times with the Greek and Roman festivals for mother goddesses.

Later on, it became a holiday associated with the Catholic Church and the devotion to Mother Mary, “Mother of God.”

Though Mother’s Day is now commercialized, it reminds us that we need to take pause and appreciate the miracle of life, that we are all sons and daughters of the earth and to recognize the Great Goddesses in our lives—our mothers.

These days, breakfast in bed, handmade cards, flowers picked from the garden, and a box of chocolates are all perfect sentiments for young children to show they care and appreciate their mum.

Wouldn’t mum be delighted to receive a special gift that she could enjoy the entire year? And jewelry is the perfect gift that can be worn and appreciated every day.

This Mother’s Day, help your customers surprise all mothers, young and old, with a beautiful piece of jewelry that she will treasure forever. Help them to establish a tradition of giving mum a special addition to her jewelry box each year.

Whether it is her first mother’s day, or her 60th mother’s day; whether Mum is in her 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, or beyond, she wants acknowledgement from her loved ones.

Unfortunately, little ones are in no position to shop for such luxuries—so the new Dad becomes the target shopper—“Show her you care,” “Surprise and Delight the new mom” “Thank Mom with a gift she will cherish.” Grown sons and daughters will be also coming into your jewelry store looking for something special.

And don’t forget the new grandmother! Today’s grandmothers are more hip and young than ever before and very proud of their new status. They delight in being remembered on Mother’s Day and relish their bragging rights as new grandmothers. Here, the target shopper is the new mother who will want to honor her mother-in-law and her own mother.

A very special gift for new mothers and grandmothers alike is a charm bracelet that can collect future charms representing life’s milestones. Charm bracelets never lose their appeal and are truly the most personalized piece of jewelry representing the evolution of the family and their journey together.

A charm necklace is another variation on this theme which can include charms representing each child or grandchild. Necklaces tend to be a little more casual than a charm bracelet and thus can be worn every day.

In addition to charm bracelets and necklaces, you will want to have plenty of other jewelry choices on hand that come from the heart, such as heart shaped earrings, rings and pendants.

Any mother would proudly wear anything heart-related given to her by a family member on Mother’s Day.

The possibilities are endless with our Mother’s Day jewelry items, many of which have symbolic wording and motifs to make it an even more memorable gift.  

Give your customers the opportunity to be as creative as they like. Consider a variety of gemstones to represent the birth month of each child. And then there are the more traditional or classic jewelry items that can be given to mothers on any special day, not just mother’s day.

Wholesale Silver round Ear Studs

Surprise her with a classic pair of freshwater pearls that she will cherish in this beautiful purple hue. Pearls are a classic piece that any woman should own! We have them in all different hues including gray, yellow, pink, iridescent and white to match her specific preferences and favorite colors.

Silver Triangular Celtic Knot Necklace

Show her that she is the goddess in your life with the traditional triple goddess symbol symbolizing maiden, mother, and crone, the lifecycle of a woman. The maiden is a young girl and grows into a beautiful woman. Motherhood is a distinct rite of passage in a woman’s life, and finally when a woman becomes a “crone” or grandmother, she possesses the wisdom of an elder and should be honored as such.

Silver Knot Ear Studs

Another every-day piece, these earrings are simple and elegant at the same time, perfect for a busy mom to look pulled together. There are a few different options for this style.

Silver Rock Bangle

Start her collection of bangle bracelets. Perhaps you can give her a new one each year and she can stack them to remind her of the joy and love in her life.

Charm Necklaces and bracelets

Purchase chains that your customers can use to create a charm necklace. Provide them with two different lengths to choose from, and a variety of charms to symbolize each child or grandchild. This will be a treasured gift.

Silver Wine Glass Charm with Lobster with Cubic Zirconia

Make her laugh with a silly gag gift. Help her add her favorite beverage to her charm bracelet. Wine not?

Wholesale Silver Chocolate Bar Charm

What woman doesn’t love chocolate? This chocolate charm for her charm bracelet is in the gag gift category. It will make her giggle and remind her that you know her so well.

And actually, dark chocolate is good for a woman’s health. It is known to be a superfood, aphrodisiac, good for heart health, brain health, and more! Add to her gift a bar of dark chocolate with over 75 percent cacao and she will be a very happy camper!

Wholesale Plain Silver Round Ring With Opal

Charm bracelets
