Warming

Day 3 of the seasons of life Drabble challenge

A Jack Daniels / Agent Whiskey Fic

MASTERLIST

Turns out Jack really is my least favourite Pedro character cos I don’t have any Gifs of him(sorry I’ve broken some of your hearts there) anyhow todays Prompt is Cozy, but this Fic is so much more than Cozy

Synopsis:- There’s a blizzard & no heating what will you do to keep warm.

Word Count:- 290

Warnings:- DO NOT READ IF TOU ARE UNDER 18! Unprotected PIV sex, sex to Keep warm, colleague to lovers, swearing, cock warming (yes it did only take me 3 days to get to naughtiness)

Thanks as always @lady-bess @berryispunk @fanfictionoverload for this. Hope you all enjoy. See you tomorrow.

He collapses on top of you. His body glistening in sweat. He’s panting just as much as you. His cum dripping out of you. After heavy breathing & calming down from both your orgasms he becomes your big spoon. The thick duvet & a blanket wrapping around you both. You hum feeling completely at ease & spent.

“Hmmm” you softly moan.

“Told you I’d make it nice & warm & cozy” says Jack.

“Was this always your plan Agent whiskey?” You ask turning your head to face him more. “Put us both in a cabin in the middle of nowhere in the snow, during a blizzard, where the heating fails & the only way to keep warm is hot water bottles, blankets, bedding & therefore sex”

“No?” He then laughs “well not entirely” you scoff as he says this. “I didn’t plan on the blizzard & the lack of heating, but I hoped I’d get to know you more intimately while on this mission”

“Well I was never gonna say no to you Jack” you say snuggling against him. “This is very cozy in deed”

“I know what will make it better”

“What’s that’s… oooohhhh” your sopping pussy suddenly is filled again. His cock still hard, back inside where it was just plundering.

“God you’re so tight baby” he whispers in your ear.”so warm, so moist, so accommodating”

“Is this just cock warming or more Jack” you whimper, wanting your body to start to move against him. Arousal now pushing cozy feelings away. A desperate need for more intercourse with your partner.

“You tell me darling” he says & pushes his penis further inside you. “Cos I know this will warm us both up & occupy our time”

Seasons of Life Writing Challenge Day 4- Fireplace

Character: Joel Miller x f!reader Rating: 18+/ M WC: 470

Challenge Masterlist

A/N & warnings: Day 4 of the Jan 2025 writing challenge by @fanfictionoverload! Can you believe this was fluff when I started writing it, then it took a hard left turn in to ANGST. Dark!Joel if you squint, mention of the death of a teenager, but not in any detail. Mention of injury, but not in detail.

The fire crackled, its flickering light casting long shadows across the worn wooden walls. Joel sat in a brittle armchair closest to the fireplace, his elbows resting on his knees, hands clasped together loosely. The heat offered little comfort on his aching bones and weary soul. 

He stared in to the flames, the orange glow reflected in his tired eyes. The room was quiet except for the occasional pop of burning wood, but his thoughts were loud. Incessant. Cruel.  

He’d lost count of the number of times he’d told himself he didn’t deserve this- the fleeting sense of safety and stolen moments of peace. The world was much, much too broken for it, and so was he. 

You had been asleep for hours, bundled under a pile of blankets on the tattered couch behind him. He’d tried to do the same, but guilt sat heavy in his chest; a familiar weight that refused to let him rest. 

His eyes drifted to you, the soft rise and fall of your breath visible even under all those layers. You’d reached for him earlier, pulling him in to your warmth despite the shame rolling off of him, etched in every muscle, carved in to every clipped word he threw at you. His tone guarded, gruff and mean.  

You hadn’t let him pull away from you. You’d pressed and he’d relented, your kisses and soft hands causing the viciousness to ebb away; whispered reassurances soothing the edges of the gnawing ache in his chest, if only for a little while. 

You’d taken him apart with care that he was unworthy of. Piece by piece as you always did, until all he could do was hiss your name through gritted teeth. His groans mingling with your passionate endearments and falling in to the encroaching darkness as he tipped over the precipice of his release. 

Joel’s jaw tightened and his hands wrung together, discordant emotions fighting for dominance in his mind as he thought about that morning.

The ambush had been sloppy- easy to deal with, if not for his hesitation. Just for a second, he’d faltered, his rifle wavering in his trembling hands as he locked eyes with the youngest of the attackers, barely a teen. 

The boy hadn’t been so hesitant, but you’d reacted first. Taken the hit, jumping to Joel’s defence. Your arm was now bandaged haphazardly over where the boy’s blade had caught you, jagged and raw; fortunately only a surface wound. The cry you’d let out as the blade slashed your skin was enough to pull Joel from his indecision and he’d fired without another thought.

The fire hissed, embers shifting. He ran a hand down his face, letting out a deep sigh. Joel turned back to the fireplace, the flames dancing, mocking. He couldn’t afford to falter again. 

Not ever.  

[flowerpetalsofadaisy]

You will not get a second chance.

No matter how much I wish I could give you one.

Did you know that you mended my heart just to break it again? Did you know that from the moment I met you and talked to you, heard your voice for the first time, I wanted to hear it always. Just seeing your name sparked something within my soul, a fire that had never been lit.

My hands were so much smaller than yours, but they fit together just right. You were a whole foot taller than me, yet our bodies molded together like water in a glass-perfectly. And when you kissed me, it was like my lips have always been meant for you. Your hands in my hair belonged there. My name on your lips was a prayer. I wanted to dance to every song in the kitchen with you. I wanted the chance to cook more dinners at eleven o'clock at night. I wanted to say goodnight at 4am when you would go home and hope that one day you would stay, so then I could turn over and say good morning. I wanted everything with you. I wanted to grow with you. Everyday. In every season.

But, as it turns out, you yourself... you were just a season. You were my favorite one that I have gone through. Why the fuck did the solstice have to come and change it all?

임신과 폐경 사이 : Between Pregnancy and Menopause

남은 난자 수가 얼마였더라. 그걸 생각하던 때는 그저 인생에 봄이 몇 번 남았을까와 비슷한 느낌의 느낌이었다. 한참 박사학위를 받겠다고 고군분투하던 시절의 스치듯한 기억이다. 그때 이성적으로 아무 관계도 아니던 연구실의 누군가가 그 비슷한 질문을 했을때, 문득 몇 개의 난자가 남았을까를 얼핏 헤아려본 기억이 있다. 하지만, 그 숫자가 제대로 기억나지 않는다. 괜찮다. 그게 딱히 중요할 것도 없다.

그 한참의 시절이 1차 술자리처럼 지나갔다. 1차 술자리는 에너지가 솟아난다. 템포도 빠르다. 종일 먹은 게 없어 첫 끼니일 경우도 많아 안주는 훅훅 들어간다. 금새 기분도 좋아지고, 그 속도감으로 어느샌지 분위기도 무르익는다. 그런 시절이었다. 요약하자면, 그 1차가 끝난 직후쯤 참 운이 좋아 바로 일자리를 구했다. 앞으로 풀어야 할 그녀의 이야기는 ‘오후의 이자벨’처럼 끝날듯 끝나지 않는 인연과 삶의 연속이다. 아마 현재의 그녀는 3차쯤 즐기는 정도지 싶다. 슬슬 잠이 올 수도 있고, 어쩌면 주사가 발동될 타이밍일 수도 있다. 난자가 10개가 채 안 남았을 수도 있다는 생각이 들었던 그녀는, 오늘의 생리가 반가우면서도 애매한 감정이 교차한다. 끝과 끝의 기대감과 불안감이었던 것은, 그것이 이제 끝일까 시작일까 ���는 감정 때문이었다.

임신과 폐경의 공통점! 생리가 멈춘다. 갑자기 음식들이 맛있어지기 시작한다. 가끔 속이 더부룩하고 소화가 잘 되지 않는 느낌이 든다. 슬며시 배도 묵직해지고, 평생 꼼짝하지 않던 체중도 애매하게 늘어난다. 그녀는 자정이 좀 넘은 새벽, 혼자 와인을 마시다 그에게 전화를 걸었다. 잠에 잠깐 들었던 그는 갑작스런 전화에도 잠에 들지 않았던 것처럼 가다듬은 목소리로 전화를 받아주었다. 그녀는 그에게 책을 읽어주기 시작했고, 조금 잠이 깼던 그는 다시 잠에 빠져들기 시작했다. 그녀는 그렇게 그를 잠재운 후, 전처럼 그의 숨소리를 들으며 통화를 지속하지 않고 잘자라는 말로 전화를 끊었다. 그녀는 다시 혼자 와인을 마셨다.

그녀는, 얼마 전 그의 태몽같은 꿈 얘기를 들었던 기억에, 혹시나 하는 기대와 불안감을 즐기며 지냈지만 그 결과가 오늘로 나타났음을 얼핏 그에게 전했다. 하지만, 아마 그는 그녀의 그 기분을 제대로 알지 못했던 것 같았다.

How many eggs do I have left? Thinking about it felt similar to pondering how many springs I had left in my life. It was a fleeting memory from the time when I was struggling to get my Ph.D. At that time, someone in the lab, with whom I had no particular relationship, asked a similar question, and I remember briefly considering how many eggs I had left. However, I can't recall the exact number. That's alright. It’s not particularly important.

That period passed by like the first round of drinks. The first round of drinks is filled with energy. The tempo is fast. Often, it's the first meal of the day, so the food is quickly consumed. Spirits are lifted, and the atmosphere ripens rapidly. That was what those days were like. In short, right after that first round ended, I was fortunate enough to quickly find a job. The story to be told now is one of ongoing connections and life, much like "Isabelle in the Afternoon." Perhaps, she is now enjoying what could be called the third round. She might be starting to feel sleepy, or maybe it's the timing for her drinking habits to kick in. The thought that she might have less than ten eggs left occurred to her. Today, she felt a mix of joy and ambiguity at the arrival of her period. The anticipation and anxiety from extremes were due to wondering if this was the end or the beginning.

The commonality between pregnancy and menopause! Menstruation stops. Suddenly, food starts tasting better. Sometimes, she feels bloated and has a hard time digesting. Her belly gradually feels heavier, and her weight, which had remained steady all her life, subtly increases.

In the early hours past midnight, she drank wine alone and called him. Though he had been briefly asleep, he answered with a composed voice, as if he hadn’t been sleeping. She began to read a book to him, and as he was beginning to wake up, he fell back asleep. After lulling him to sleep, unlike before, she did not continue the call to listen to his breathing but ended it with a goodnight. She resumed drinking wine alone.

Remembering the story he recently told her about his dream, which seemed like a pregnancy dream, she lived with a mix of expectations and anxieties. She briefly conveyed to him that the result had come today. However, it seemed he didn’t fully grasp her feelings.

THE CHANGING SEASONS OF LIFE AND ITS NATURAL CONSTANT CYCLES

Autumn is a season characterized by change, musings, and a bit of self-reflection. Just as the leaves change color and gracefully fall, we, too, undergo those transitions. The transforming warm colors contrast with the cold, freezing air, similar to our slow but sure changes that might not be conventional to what’s around us. And like the leaves that fall, we let go of what no longer serves a purpose in our lives.

Furthermore, autumn is a time of wisdom and maturity when we harvest the lessons learned. Autumn may even indulge us in making peace with the impermanence of life. After all, it’s not like you see the real change happening right before your eyes...

The Changing Seasons Of Life And Its Natural Constant Cycles

Life is a journey that unfolds through seasons, mirroring nature’s ever-changing cycles. Just as the Earth experiences the rhythm of the seasons, our lives go through periods of growth, transition, and transformation. The changes that any of us undergo are essential, much like year-round seasons… ReadMore: https://www.raymondqbooks.com/changing-seasons-of-life/

Seasons Serve a Purpose | Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

Life has a way of reminding us that nothing stays the same. One moment, you're celebrating a victory; the next, you're facing a trial you never saw coming. Seasons shift—sometimes expectedly, sometimes suddenly—but they always change. And whether we like it or not, we can't control them.

But what if the changing seasons of life weren’t meant to frustrate us but to shape us? What if every high and every low had a purpose far greater than what we can see?

Welcome to The Daily. We go through the bible verse-by-verse, chapter-by-chapter, every single day.

Our text today is Ecclesiastes 3:1-8.

For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:

a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; a time to tear, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace. — Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

Whether we like it or not, life moves in seasons. And the seasons of life change. Thus, every time a season changes, we should be reminded of our mortality. We move from a desirable to an undesirable season, and we must all accept that we are confined to this world and to time, thus forced to deal with the change that happens. And as much as we want to alter the undesirable seasons, we can't. We must accept them, work through them, and trust God in them.

But our life is not given to seasons to torment us but to teach, train, and hopefully prepare us about the coming return of the Lord and our eternity that will not end.

Ultimately, every season—whether joyful or painful—serves a purpose beyond what we can see. God is sovereign over our time; the good times remind us of his blessings, and the hard times refine our faith.

So, what do we do in the changing seasons? We trust. We endure. We grow. We learn to cling to the eternal with all we have. Because one day, the season of time itself will end, giving way to eternity, and all the changing seasons will make sense in the presence of the One who never changes.

What season are you in right now? Are you in a time of joy or hardship, of building up or breaking down? No matter where you find yourself, one thing remains constant—God is sovereign over it all.

But here’s the bigger question: Are you ready for the season that never ends? Solomon reminds us that time is temporary, but eternity is not. And the truth is, without Jesus, eternity is a season of separation from God. But because of his love, Jesus came to rescue us—He lived, died, and rose again so that we could have eternal life with Him.

So don’t wait for a better season to come to Him. Today is the time and season for salvation. Surrender your life to Jesus, and step into the eternal hope that never fades.

Will you trust Him today? If you are ready, write "I choose Jesus" below. And commit your life to living for him who lived all in for you.

#SeasonsOfLife, #TrustGod, #EternalHope

ASK THIS:

What season of life are you currently in, and how is God using it to shape you?

How do you typically respond to difficult seasons? Do you trust God or try to control them?

What lessons has God taught you through past seasons of change?

Are you prepared for eternity, the season that never ends?

DO THIS:

Write "I choose Jesus" in the comments if you're ready to trust Him and step into eternal hope.

PRAY THIS:

Lord, I trust You in every season, knowing You are sovereign over my time. Help me to grow in faith and embrace Your eternal plan. Amen.

PLAY THIS:

I Trust Jesus.

Growth is about Timing

Growth isn’t just about constant action—it’s about timing.

Phase 1 : Set goals and lay the groundwork.

Phase 2 : Execute with focus and consistency.

Phase 3 : Measure progress, celebrate wins.

Phase 4 : Reflect, refine, and recharge.

Smart professionals know that burnout isn’t a badge of honor. Growth happens when you align your actions with your season. What phase are you in?

Home Sick

Day Seven of the Seasons of Life Drabble Challenge

A Javi Gutierrez Fan Fic

MASTERLIST

When you get Marshmallows as a prompt I had to go for my sunshine. He is hard to write for winter so I’ve gone a little nostalgic for it.

Synopsis:- Your feeling homesick but Javi has an idea as to what will cheer you up.

Word count:- 420

Warnings:- suggestion of stuff that might go on after the scene, sucking, swearing.

Thanks @fanfictionoverload @lady-bess @berryispunk can’t believe the winter prompts are now over.

“I know what I need to make you” Javi said. You love him & you love living in Majorca with him & your new life, but you are feeling a little home sick missing your life back in the uk. Yes it’s warmer & not raining at the end of winter, but part of you wishes for cozy nights under blankets watching the rain fall outside. “I need to make you a fondue”

“A fondue?” You question.”I’ve not had one in donkeys”

“All the more reason to then, nostalgia” he says & then bounces off into the kitchen. He’d sent his staff home for the day. This is going to be interesting.

“Fuck” About 15mins later you hear swearing coming from kitchen so go & check he’s not set it all on fire. On the counter top as a range of fresh fruits, bananas, strawberry’s, cherry’s, mangos & apples already for you to dip, into the large bowls of melted milk & white chocolate. Javi is trying to hide the chocolate fountain he tried to get working but broke by accident. Your giggle gives your presence away. He turns around startled & blushing.

“Sorry was trying to do the best for my girl”

“This looks amazing Javi” You say sounding upbeat but there’s still a small amount of disappointment.

“What’s wrong baby?” He asks softly.

“Have you got any marshmallows Javi?” you eyes plead, almost as much as his own puppy dog eyes. With that Javi frantically searches the kitchen but eventually finds them. Your face lights up the second you taste the marshmallow in the milk chocolate.

“Heaven” you moan. Javi smiles, his cock twitching in his trousers. Loving that your noise to this is similar to when he starts to pleasure you.

“I like that noise” he states before eating his own, before then feeding you. You delicately suck his fingers clean. “Oooh have I put you in a different mood now?” Javi asks as you let go of his pinky finger with a loud pop.

“Javi, my love, you always have me in that mood” you smirk. You then dip the marshmallow into a mix of white & milk chocolate & then bite one end. Your eyes tel Javi everything he needs to know. He bites the marshmallow as well & soon the sugary & chocolate goodness is all gone, your sticky fingers caress his face as you kiss him, falling for him even more.

“You really are my sunshine on a gloomy day Javi”

Seasons of Life Writing Challenge Day 5- Hot Chocolate

Pairing: Frankie Morales x f!reader Rating: T/ PG-13 WC: 499

Challenge Masterlist

A/N: Day 5 of the Jan 2025 writing challenge by @fanfictionoverload! I saw a mug on Pinterest last year, filed it away in my brain, and I knew I had to use it for this. I’ve never written Frankie before, but I imagine he falls in to the ‘competent boyfriend’ category - I saw someone say the other day that he’s the guardian of the one collective braincell of the dudes in Triple Frontier, which I’d be inclined to agree with. This is an established relationship, domestic!Frankie with househusband vibes I guess? Fluff on fluff on fluff. Enjoy!

Every time you had a bad day, you texted Frankie to let him know using the same five words: 

It’s a hot chocolate day.

The response was always immediate: 

On it, beautiful.

Today had been horrendous- your boss was short-tempered, all of your deadlines were closing in, and you’d spent most of the afternoon fixing other people’s problems. To top it all off the weather had turned. What had begun as a light drizzle was a full-on downpour by the time you reached your apartment; you were drenched to the bone. 

“Come here, mi amor,” Frankie said softly, with a gentle smile as he greeted you at the door, peeling off your soaked layers, kissing you after each sodden piece of clothing hit the floor. and handing you sweatpants and one of his hoodies that he’d warmed up in the drier. 

He guided you to the couch and pressed a warm mug of hot chocolate in to your hands. You eyed the it curiously, wrapping your fingers around it gratefully, letting the heat seep in to your cold palms. 

“Is this mug new?”

“Oh it’s a gift for you,” Frankie said with a grin, flicking on some background music and the colour changing LEDs to a soft, warm orange glow. “For the next time you had a bad day. Thought you’d like it.” 

“Cute,” you said with a smile, leaning back in to the cushions. 

He settled beside you, pulling a blanket over your legs and leaning back, his arm draping behind you along the back of the couch. 

“Made us some plans for the weekend,” he murmured, his fingers trailing lazily against the sensitive spot behind your ear. 

“Oh yeah?” You asked, voice muffled against the the rim of the mug as you took a drink. 

“Mm-hmm,” he said, leaning closer, his breath brushing your temple. “Figured we could drive out to that spot by the lake. I booked one of the cabins you liked last time.” 

“The ones with the hammocks on the porch?” You said, smiling before you took another gulp. 

“Yeah, those ones,” he confirmed, eyes crinkling with delight. “Thought you might need something to look forward to.” 

“You’re amazing,” you said, giving him a peck on the cheek before downing the last of the hot chocolate. 

When you reached the bottom of the mug, something caught your eye. You tilted it towards the light to see two little words written inside, and your breath hitched. 

Marry me?

Your head snapped up to find Frankie watching you, his lips quirked in a nervous smile. He held out an open ring box, inside was a ring you’d pointed out to him a year ago. 

“Oh my God, Frankie!” You gasped as he shifted in his seat to place the ring on your finger.

Tears pricked your eyes as you set the mug down and threw your arms around him.  “Yes!”

You laughed through happy tears before pulling him in for a kiss, bad day forgotten altogether.
